À propos de cet audio

 Sam and Boris love films, books, TV, music and every form of culture you can name. The thing is that Sam has seemingly seen and experienced way more of it. Every time Sam finds out that Boris has no idea about a piece of media Sam thinks everyone knows about, Sam simply cannot contain his amazement. The two of them have decided to share (in podcast form) their journeys through and encounters with culture that one or both of them may be unfamiliar with. Their adventures will consist of discussion, analysis, trivia and reconsidering what really makes a piece of media culturally significant. You can look forward to hearing examples of their unorthodox senses of humour, love of completely useless information and capacity to deliver endless hot takes. To paraphrase Darth Vader - "They would be honoured if you would join them..." (hopefully that's one they've both seen).

    16: Easy A - a (Re)Encounter
    Oct 16 2025
    After the brief switch-up from the last episode, our two hosts are back with another slight change to the usual format, albeit a familiar one. On this episode, Sam and Boris will be discussing a film - a relatively famous film at that - which Sam hadn't seen before, Easy A from 2010. The duo discuss the longevity of the American high school film and how Easy A expanded upon this established film tradition and advanced it into the 2010s, as well as the star potential of one Emma Stone and the improbability of her passing off as a 17-year old. They also comment on the film's slightly uneven two halves and the importance of well-used cameos and references. Nothing says autumn like a back to school film so dig out those John Hughes VHSes and CDs, but only after you've listened to Sam and Boris' takes on Easy A

    15: Born This Way - a (Re)Encounter
    Aug 29 2025
    Well we're doing something a bit different again, but variety is the spice of life, and speaking of spicing things up few artists manage to be as relentlessly provocative, relevant and visionary whilst staying in the mainstream as Lady Gaga. To celebrate Pride (we know we're a little late), as well as some of the music that defined our early teenage years, we'll be covering Gaga's seminal 2011 album Born This Way, complete with a slightly new format to reflect this new genre of review. Join the church of Gaga as we journey back to where many of the inspirations for her later musical experiments arguably began, and allow your pleasure centres (or at least the parts of your mind that enjoy listening to us talking about stuff) to be relentlessly bludgeoned by facts, feelings and fangirling over this iconic cultural time capsule. Put your paws up, put your headphones in, and press play - 'cause you were born this way, baby!

    14: The Last Airbender - a (Re)Encounter
    Jul 1 2025
    Water, Earth, Fire, Air - all combined to create a disaster of a film, which could have been great! Well, at least we eventually got the Netflix live-action version to rewrite the past wrongs. But that still doesn't mean Boris can't suffer the pain Sam did when watching M. Night Shyamalan's 2010 film The Last Airbender when it originally came out. However, it ended up being too much for Boris as a lover of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon - so the hosting duo called upon long-time listener and avid fan of the animated series, Emma Sophie Jahns to make the watching experience more manageable. If you've missed Boris and Sam slamming and ripping a piece of media to shreds, then get ready for one wild ride - not even Emma's attempts at finding a silver lining can change the tides of negative opinions from both our hosts and the wider viewing public.
