Shoulders of Giants

Broader Shoulders- The Butterfingers Effect

Things have got serious, as Sheppy continues to ponder The Cinematic Butterfly Effect...

 

"What if..?" one tiny decision, made by a minor character, in any film had been made differently?

What drastic changes could the resulting ripples cause for heroes, villains and audiences alike?

 

More Bond!  More Star Wars!

Plus-

Rocky!  Trading Places!  Indiana Jones!  Back to the Future!

 

...and much, much more!

 

"I'm so proud of you!" - Catherine Ness

 

"We named the dog Indiana!" - Henry Jones Snr. 

 

Broader Shoulders- Butterflies, Tangents and the Ultimate "What if..?"

Sheppy and very special guest Tamsin discuss the Butterfly Effect in TV and Film, asking ‘What if’ a certain character had made one tiny decision differently, changing life, the universe and everything..?

 

Star Wars!  Outlander!  Bond!  Star Trek!  Downton Abbey!!  

 

And so much more.

 

“There goes another one.”

“Hold your fire, there's no life forms, it must have short circuited…”

Broader Shoulders- Good Effects, Bad Subs, Angry Aliens and a Hero Named Harry

Loose threads are pulled, tugged and tied up, as Sheppy tackles a happy jumble...

 

...Discussing new entries in the Predator franchise, the recent triumphs of a cinematic legend, as well as going deep on personal fav-

F/X: Murder by Illusion...

 

...All while pitching a third part for this wildly inventive action-thriller series!

 

"Nobody makes movies about people anymore, all they care about are special effects..."

Broader Shoulders- Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

The Pitch- A direct sequel to the 1991 Kevin Costner action-romance swash-buckler. 

 

 

"Because it's blunt, you idiot, it'll hurt more!!"

Broader Shoulders- Slings, Arrows, Accents and Mullets

Sheppy's all a'quiver, as he talks Robin Hood- Taking a look at just about every version of the Legend in TV and Film...

 

...As well as going deep on personal favourite, 'Prince of Thieves' !

 

"He was a brave lad..."

 

 

Broader Shoulders- January Jamboree!!

Diving into a positive quagmire of holiday treats, Sheppy is joined by very special guest Martusha, where they talk films and tv old and new…

 

…Also!

A bushel of Bronson! A hammock of Hackman! And a calamitous collection of creepy Clooney! 

 

So join us in Narnia, The Upside Down, and that lake Colin Firth likes to splash about in, for a rambling chat like no other.

 

“Keep the change, ya filthy animal!”

Broader Shoulders- Robocop

The Pitch- Come up with an all-new sequel to the seminal, satirical, action classic, Robocop

 

"I'd buy THAT for a dollar!"

Broader Shoulders- Prime Directives

Half Bants, Half Rants, All Pod.  

With 20 seconds to comply, talk turns to subtitles from hell while 'streaming' blue murder, before going deep on seminal satire, the action classic Robocop, as well as its sequels, spin-offs, remake and inappropriate 80s kids cartoon show.

 

"Dick, you’re fired!!"

Broader Shoulders- Cold Steel, Hard Looks and a Man Named Chuck

It's choice talk and split lips, as Sheppy draws first, talking Classic Westerns, Gritty Action and Charles Bronson...

 

...All while sneaking in two brand new pitches for the greatest cross-over in movie history!!

 

"...you brought two too many..."

Broader Shoulders- "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons!"

The Pitch: Come up with an Epic Sci-Fi Action Adventure Film for this indestructible super-spy!

 

"...We know that you can hear us, Earthmen!"
