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. Hosted on Acast.
