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.

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.
