SpielbergPod - The Steven Spielberg Podcast

178 episodes   Last Updated: Jun 20, 25
The SpielbergPod is a show where me and some friends rewatch the films of Steven Spielberg going through them one at a time . It's a mix of film discussion, humour and just good ol' fashioned conversation among friends. Features of the show include recastings of the films with current day actors, companion pieces to the film and top five lists.

Episodes

In this One Perfect Scene episode, Paul, Kieran and I continue to celebrate the 50th birthday of 'Jaws'- which came out exactly 50 years ago today - with a conversation on the final stretch of the Spielberg classic. So we're covering Quint's death (spoiler!) and the death of the shark (double spoiler!!)
Okay, Jaws turns 50 years old this very day - the film being released in the USA on June 20th 1975. Since this is a film very near and dear to us, we decided to mark this birthday by talking about the film once again. So, this is a One Perfect Scene episode, where Kieran, Paul and I talk about the unforgettable scene where young Alex Kintner is killed by the shark, towards the start of the film.
This week on the podcast, Kieran and I wrap up our series one coverage of Andor (and dance around not spoiling season two) with a discussion on the episodes 'Daughter of Ferrix' and 'Rix Road', which together make up the final arc of the season.
Here we go again! Paul, Kieran and I continue our Andor coverage by discussing the third arc in this show: the prison arc. That means we are talking about four episodes- 'Announcement', 'Narkina 5', 'Nobody's Listening!' and 'One Way Out'. 
Okay, in this episode Paul, Kieran and I continue our Andor coverage by discussing the second arc in this fantastic Star Wars show: the heist arc. This is comprised of three episodes: 'Aldhani', 'The Axe Forgets' and 'The Eye', so we talk about these episodes, the recent series two trailer, fascism, Only Fools and Horses - the usual. Oh, and we'll be back soon to talk about the prison arc!
Since we are fast approaching the release of season two of the show, Kieran, Paul and I finally sat down to talk about the fantastic Star Wars show, Andor. And since we really liked this show, we're going to take our sweet time discussing this bad boy, so this in this episode we only talk about the first three episodes ('Kassa', 'That Would Be Me' and 'Reckoning'), which make up the recruitment arc. We'll be back soon to talk about the heist arc!
Hello! Today on the show Kieran, Paul and I have a focused chat on the Holdo maneuver sequence from Rian Johnson's 'The Last Jedi'. It's a scene we were all big fans of when the film came out and remain so today, and there was a lot to chew on with this (one) perfect scene. Expect talk on the career of Laura Dern too!
I'm planning on doing a bunch of Star Wars coverage in 2025, so I figured why not kick off the year by re-releasing our Holiday Special episode, which Kieran, Paul and I recorded back in 2018 for the sister podcast Easy Riders Raging Podcast, as part of its 1970s series.
In this episode, Kieran and I continue our ongoing Star Wars coverage with a discussion on the recent Disney+ show, The Acolyte. We also try to take the pulse of what's going on with the franchise in general (which may have dated slightly since we recorded this because Lucasfilm is continually announcing/cancelling projects on a daily basis). 
Continuing our MCU coverage, this week Kieran and I discuss the latest Marvel show, Agatha All Along, and we have much to discuss, including the Young Avengers, the chances that the Scarlet Witch will return for more movies, why I should never be put in charge of a reality TV show, a programme no-one remembers except Kieran and me and much, much more.
