À propos de ce contenu audio

 Sam and Boris love films, 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).

    22: Batman and Robin - a (Re)Encounter
    Apr 16 2026

    Oh boy, are we in for a ride this time! Continuing the superhero trend from the last episode, our hosts have this time subjected themselves to one of the most critically-panned films of all time: Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin from 1997. Why was George Clooney cast in the titular role and put in a costume with protruding nipples? In how many scenes were Chris O'Donnell and Arnold Schwarzenegger together on camera? Why did Poison Ivy decide to team up with Mr. Freeze, who can almost certainly destroy all plant life on Earth? Sam and Boris reveal the answers to some of those questions, but for many others your guess is as good as theirs. Listen to this latest episode to discover - or remind yourself - just how unpopular this film actually is.

    21: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - a (Re)Encounter
    Mar 13 2026
    There are a lot of firsts this time around - the first Marvel film, the first superhero film and the first animated Spider-Man media for Sam and Boris to discuss! In this case - and also because of the theme of extra-dimensional assistance - they have enlisted the help of film and media connoisseur, James King! The trio talk about the origins of Spider-Man and the importance of Sam Raimi to the continued popularity of the web-slinger before they continuously praise this masterpiece of an animated film (for the most part). James, Sam and Boris talk at length about the variety of themes, voice acting talent and inventive crew before ordering their thoughts in rankings and mulling over possible recasts - truly a difficult job! As you're listening to this episode, just imagine you yourself are in New York, experiencing some of the glitches and weird technical effects that made this film so memorable - hit play, enjoy the ramblings and create some (graffiti) art.

    20: The Truman Show - a (Re)Encounter
    Feb 10 2026
    A film that has been on the list ever since (Re)Encounters began, Sam is delighted to be introducing Boris to The Truman Show at last! First seen when studying Philosophy and Religious Studies at school, it's gone on to become a classic staple in Sam's mental film catalogue. For Boris, this is an eye-opening experience, to see a film that blends so many different genres and which inspires such a deep level of thought. In this first, bumper-length episode of Season 3, our duo of hosts examine the talents of one Jim Carrey, consider the effects of Reality Television and even take on God...! You don't want to miss this one, so get to listening - whether it be morning, afternoon, evening or even night!
