SpielbergPod - The Steven Spielberg Podcast

The SpielbergPod is a show where me and some friends rewatch the films of Steven Spielberg going through them one at a time . It's a mix of film discussion, humour and just good ol' fashioned conversation among friends. Features of the show include recastings of the films with current day actors, companion pieces to the film and our trademark feature 'Who Am I?'

In this episode I'm joined by Paul to discuss 'Captain America: The First Avenger' as part of our Marvel/ MCU Phase One coverage.

Expect spoilers for future Marvel films (up to the end of Phase Three) as well as criticism and praise for the film, me comparing the Tory Party with the Nazis and also Paul pondering life as a member of Hydra.

This week I'm delighted to be joined by special guest David Trumble to discuss the Kenneth Branagh film 'Thor', as part of my festive mini-series of bonus episodes covering the films of the MCU Phase One.

Dec 5, 2020

In this episode we kick of a festive mini-series looking at the films from Phase 1 of the MCU (the Marvel Cinematic Universe). For this one I'm joined by my co-host Kieran to discuss Jon Favreau's 'Iron Man' (warning- we do spoil future MCU films on these podcasts, so please be aware of that if you haven't seen them).

Nov 9, 2020

This episode is a return to our DVD commentary format as Kieran and I talk about the Don Bluth classic 'An American Tail'.

Jul 13, 2020

Okay, buckle your seatbelts, listeners as I return to the wonderful world of Steve Spielberg, specifically his film 'Duel', but this time around approaching it slightly different to the way Kieran and I talked about it in 2015 (yes, it was that many years ago).  This time around I'm doing it as a DVD commentary, so it's uninterrupted audio with no edits, which means you can expect more than a few tangents. Enjoy!

Apr 6, 2020

In this episode, recorded over the internet as we self-isolate, Paul, Kieran and I discuss Amblin', Steven Spielberg's short film from 1968 (which you can watch for free on YouTube, if you're interested).

Apr 2, 2020

In this episode Kieran and I conclude our three episode mini-series on director Damien Chazelle with a discussion on his film, 'First Man' which stars Ryan Gosling as astronaut Neil Armstong and Claire Foy as his wife, Janet.

Mar 23, 2020

In this episode, recorded back on New Year's Eve in better times, Kieran and I kick off another mini-series, this time covering the films of Damien Chazelle. And we begin with a discussion of his fantastic film, 'Whiplash'. 

Mar 7, 2020

To conclude our mini-series covering the films of J.J. Abrams, Kieran and I rank his six directorial efforts from our least to most favourite.

Along the way we reflect on his career to date (including our thoughts on his TV work), what we would like to see next from Abrams as well as talk about 'Barry Lyndon' (naturally), the career of Peter Jackson, Stranger Things and all of the Mission Impossible films (and the importance of Dougray Scott's performance).

Feb 29, 2020

In this episode (part of our coverage of the films of J.J. Abrams and also the Star Wars films) Kieran and I discuss the ninth episode of The Skywalker Saga, the somewhat confusingly titled 'The Rise of Skywalker'.

Feb 3, 2020

Recorded back in November 2018, here is the long-delayed release of our 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' episode which sees Kieran and I discuss the Star Wars film set between 'Revenge of the Sith' and 'A New Hope'.

Jan 27, 2020

This week on the podcast, Kieran and I continue our J.J. Abrams mini-series with an episode on 'Star Trek Into Darkness'. And boy do we have opinions on this one.

Jan 13, 2020

In this bonus episode, Kieran and I list our top ten favourite films of the 2010s (complete with a smattering of 'honourable' mentions and reflections on a decade of film).
