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.

There are plenty of movies about musician's rise to fame and glory, but not as many that star actual musicians playing exaggerated versions of themselves, and fewer still where they don't care about fame and glory but rather that they get to the party on time, dance, rap, and get their f**k on. Travel back to the early 90's as we're joined by CHRISTIAN STONER, writer of the show's main theme as together we delve into what he confidently describes as "the best movie of all time."
You know what time it is.
Also stick around for the end, where we play the full version of the title music "Black."
