Jim channels his inner Luddite against the snooping AI, Dr. Evil helps the “crab-faced” predator people fire a giant laser while Chris does a hand count and throws anyone wearing red under the bus.
Survived this far, why not leave us a review?
New year. New Tropes. The Trope Stormers return with their first instalment of 2021 and it's a barnstorming opener.
Boggly-eyed monsters, Kurt Russel's beard and overly camp aliens all feature as the boys drink their weight in J&B (or is it petrol?!) to discover the truth...
Are they Mac-Ready? Will they be left in the frozen desolates wastes of Dystropia by the end? Or will they escape to the hallowed plains of Utropia?
Turn on. Tune in. Trope Storm
Whatever it takes. A behemoth of an episode and the biggest trope storm yet. Cap. Stark. Cosmic crises. Kazoos. What battle sequence tops this for Chris? Problematic punctuation for Jim. Stand aside Asgardian two new storm gods are here to take the most supercharged of superhero flicks by storm.
The Trope Stormer boys take a Teabreak to look at the original story trope...the origin. From Genesis to Jar-Jar Chris & Jim talk their faves & those they’d love to see adapted as well as those that can go back where they came from. Radioactive spider bites anyone?
Our biggest Teabreak trope chat yet overruns for one big reason - the big kahuna of Tropes - Time Travel. The theories, the science, the confusion. Jim and Chris risk cross-eyes & ethical dilemmas as they dissect your chronometer crushing faves. Groundhog Day, Terminator, Primer (eek) & BTTF all feature...it’s about damn time.
The Tropestorming troupe talk their favourite Zombie examples and twists on the character trope before they tackle Zombieland. Zombies. Lawnmowers. Custard. Nuff Said...
Parted though seldom downhearted, the TropeStormers are back to dissect a noughties cult classic in 28 Days later. With viruses spreading outside and speculation spreading in the podcast - will it be Utropia or the affliction of Dystropia for a zombie favourite?
The TropeStormers are fashionably late heading into 2020 and kick off with a monster podcast of epic proportions. The last decade’s best take on the the giant monster movie genre in our sights and set in 2020, how much has come true? Kaiju? Jaegers? Gary? What does it all mean and will Del Toro’s effort get the first Utropia or Dystropia of the new year? Give it a ruddy listen and a review! TS social media
Last month saw the sad but eerily timely passing of Rutger Hauer. RIP. In his honour and back with a bumper episode. Chris and Jim decide whether Ridley Scott’s Sci-fi Noir spectacle is a Utropian dystopia worthy of comparison with views off the shoulder of Orion.
