  • Summary

  • TROPE ON A ROPE is a weekly podcast where Jeff and his mate Colin, along with their guests discuss and dissect the common movie tropes that have come to define cinema.


    From the high concept sci-fi mind-f**k that contorts ideas of reality and identity; the young and naive small-town musician who is thrown into the deep-end world of money, high fashion and fame; and the brooding anti-hero whose methods test the bounds of an audiences acceptance; to the grizzled cop that will work the case no matter what their superiors say; the time-loops that allow our protagonist years’ worth of personal growth in day; and those films where Liam Neeson just f**kin’ punches shit in the face.


    We’ll look at them all, compare, contrast, and contemplate which are raised up the flag-pole for all to salute, and which are hoisted by their own petard.

    Join Colin and Jeff as they look back at a cult classic and find that they don't make 'em like they used to and that might be a good thing. In this they discuss whining protagonists, holographic speaker phones, anime cat girls with too many ears, and a magical set of pipes.

    25 - TRON (1982) - 80's GAMERS - PART ONE
    Sep 8 2024

    Salutations Pragrammes, and welcome back to TROPE ON A ROPE, we end our hiatus by uploading ourselves into the world of 80s Gamer movies. Dial up internet using rotary phones, computers the size of rooms, and computer sounding words thrown hither and thither. With TRON ARES looming on the horizon, we look back at the original 1982 movie TRON.


    So join us as we discuss all things TRON, including TRON LEGACY, get distracted by Doki Doki Literature Club, Tomb Raider and a little film called SURFACE. Also listen as Colin struggles with the word "geometric."

    24 - THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER (2022) - THE VIETNAM WAR - PART THREE
    May 5 2024

    Hi there, sorry for the break since the last episode, but we're back, and we've actually got a bit of a backlog. So lets get back to business by rounding out the final part of our look at the Vietnam War with 2022's Apple film THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER, based on a true story that I learned of from a great podcast called Do Go On, which is linked here (listen to our one first though).
