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.

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."

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).

When we picked 1989's Casualties of War to watch as part of this series it was because it's a great film, the problem is it's a heavy film. One slightly too heavy for what is supposed to be a comedy podcast, but soldier on we must... there was a pun there. Anyway, although we try to find levity where we can, this film, and therefore this podcast episode covers some uncomfortable subjects.

Sir, yes, sir! Over the next few weeks we will be looking at films covering the Vietnam war. Granted, its not great fodder for a light hearted movie podcast, but we got to watch three great films then talk about the three grim realities of them. First off is the classic FULL METAL JACKET,.

So pull up get snug in a fox hole and listen to Jeff and Colin discuss the movie, as well as make obscure references to two snookerballs and a sock and going dark like Chase Edmunds.

There is also a bit in this where Colin references "Of Mice and Men," but Jeff hasn't read it so he just goes "um" and moves on. If you spot it, note the timecode and tweet it at us.

*MINI EPISODE*

Hello dear listeners and here we are, the end of our festive run (its February...) of mini episodes looking at long running and long suffering franchises. This episode we look at that which has always and shall always be, THE SIMPSONS. a show that has gone from funny short, to cultural juggernaut that defined an era, to being kinda okay, to just being on.

We look back at the shows lofty past and barely watchable present by comparing two episodes, from two eras, with similar plots, and wildly different outcomes.

If you want to watch the episodes we talk about they are:

THE TWISTED WORLD OF MARGE SIMPSON (8.11) and

THE MANY SAINTS OF SPRINGFIELD (34.13).

We're back to films from the next pod on, specifically VIETNAM WAR FILMS, starting with FULL METAL JACKET.

*MINI EPISODE*

Happy New year dear listeners, as our January meat hangovers continue, we continue with our mini episodes looking at long standing franchises, their current state and their possible futures.

This time we're looking at the always controversial for some reason STAR WARS FRANCHISE. We'll discuss what Jeff believes to be its fundamental flaw, as well as its politics, and other things including, but not limited to, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and Eastenders.

*MINI EPISODE*

Merry Christmas dear listeners, as Colin and I enter various states of festive related food and drink comas, we've pre-recorded some mini episodes that will play over the holiday period. In these we'll be looking at some long running series and asking whether or not the should continue, or to call it a day and try something else.

In this first offering we look at the currently embattled MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE, get distracted by time travel rules in Harry Potter and discuss spoilers for the Netflix show Bodies, among other things.

NOTE: This episode was recorded before Johnathan Majors was officially fired.
