Description
Now in our fourth series, we're back and this time around we're talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we've got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

Hello! Apologies that the scheduling of ERRP episodes has been a little erratic of late. I recently moved flats and as a result I am dealing with lots of change. Anyway, since I'm back in the office today and so have internet for the day, I am dropping a random 1950s solo episode, which I have ready to go. In this episode- recorded back in May 2024-, I returned to the 'One Perfect Scene' format with an episode on the 'Scottie's nightmare' sequence from Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' (and my thoughts- in particular- on the film's third act, following this recent rewatch). This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!
In this episode, recorded in Winter 2023, Paul and I get into the festive mood (somewhat), by discussing 'The Stalls of Barchester' which was part of BBC's A Ghost Story for Christmas series. Along the way I fall down the stairs and ponder whether my cat is real or imginary and Paul fails to meet Hugh Bonneville. We also found time to talk about this TV special. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!
Here's another edition of Easy Does It, which was recorded for the Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/ERRP) back in 2018. This week Kieran picks who he would have had as the winners of the 1977 Oscars.
Hello! In this episode- recorded in Autumn 2024- Kieran and I discuss the career of Davd Bowie with specific focus on the music video for his song 'Life on Mars'. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!
Since today is Halloween, Kieran and I figured why not returb to one of the big horror franchises with a discussion on 'Halloween II'.
For this episode I delved into our Patreon archives (https://www.patreon.com/ERRP) to a 2018 conversation where Paul got to pick who he would have had as the winners of the 1980s Oscars, in a little feature I called Easy Does It.
Hola! In this (solo) 'One Perfect Scene' episode- recorded back in August 2024- I discuss the safe robbery scene from Alfred Hitchcock's 'Marnie'. An amazing scene, with much to discuss from it's representation of queerness, it's superb photography and much more. This episode was recorded as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!
This week it's another return to the archives from my original podcast, the SpielbergPod, with an episode recorded back in either 2020 or 2021. It sees Kieran and I delve into the world of television directed by Steven Spielberg, specifically his contributions to the anthology show Night Gallery- 'Eyes' and 'Make Me Laugh'.
It's classic ERRP this week - both in form and content- as Kieran and I discuss the iconic 60's fantasy film, 'One Million Years B.C.'. This episode was recorded (back in 2024) as a Patreon exclusive episode (over at https://www.patreon.com/ErrP) but now it's free to listen to, for your audio entertainment. Enjoy!
What a film we have for you today! This week class is in session as Paul and I discuss the teen movie classic, 'The Breakfast Club'.
This week Paul and I are back doing another fantastic fantasy draft episode, this time picking our favourite film sequels, so lots to chew on there. Oh, and if you want to hear more of me talking sequels, be sure to check out the episode of (the excellent) Unequal Sequel podcast which I guested on last year, where i talked about my favourite and least favourite sequel movies along with my fantasy sequel.
In this episode, Paul and I did a fantasy draft on our favourite movie vilains of all time. So it's ten picks each, no overlap allowed, beyond that it's anything goes.
In this episode I'm delighted to be joined by Tom Huddleston, author of the forthcoming book 'David Lynch: His Work, His World' to talk about the final sequence from the film, 'The Elephant Man', as well as the life and career of David Lynch.
It's more David Lynch talk this week as Paul and I discuss the diretcors 1984 film, 'Dune'.
This week our summer of Lynch returns with an episode in which Kieran, Paul and I discuss David Lynch's second film, 'The Elephant Man'.
This week we're back talking 1980s films and we're back talking David Lynch (!!) as Mark, Paul and I discuss the late director's classic film noir, 'Blue Velvet'. A film we love- I think this is one of the best of the decade TBH- but find scarily relatable. (I even get to break out the censor sound which I haven't done in quite some time.....)
In this episode- recorded a few weeks after the passing of visionary director David Lynch- Kieran and I discuss the artist's surreal debut film, 'Eraserhead', as well as reflecting on his career as a whole.
In this episode- recorded back in the midst of the pandemic- Kieran and I discussed Robert Zemeckis' debut feature film, 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. This was a film we both enjoyed but certainly had issues with. So you can expect us to talk about the pros and cons of this film about a bunch of teens in 1964 going to New York to try and see The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. We also compare this to other films Zemeckis worked on from 1941 to the Back to the Future trilogy to Forest Gump and beyond! This episode originally aired on my sister show the SpielbergPod in early 2023.
In this episode- recorded at some point back in 2023- Kieran, Paul and I discuss the British sitcom Fawlty Towers through a conversation on the iconic episode 'The Germans'. And we have much to chew on with this episode, from the ways in which this has dated, so-called 'cancel culture', the proposed sequel show (which I guess never happened) and the relationship between the UK and Germany.
In this short solo episode I talk about the fantastic end sequence from the film 'Broadway Danny Rose'. So this is Danny Rose's Thanksgiving party- to which surprise guest Tina Vitale arrives- followed by Danny outside his flat, chasing after Tina on the snowy streets of New York city.
