Trope Stormers: Assassins of pop-culture tropes in TV & MoviesSep 10, 2020
14. Alien Vs Amazon Vs Predator – A.V.P (2004)
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?
13. "Anybody touches me, and we go" - The Thing (1982)
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
Storm In A Teabreak: Reboot, Remake or Rehash?

12. A New Year To Trope Hard (Die Hard 1988)
Storm in a (Merry Xmas) Teabreak: Franchise Sequels
11. Avengers Colon Endgame (2019)
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.
Storm In A Teabreak: Tropestormers - Origins...Best, Worst & Wanted
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?

9. Time Actually - About Time (2013)
Storm In A Teabreak (Gonna Need a Bigger Mug) - Time Travel Tropes ⏱⏳
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.
8. Trope Up Or Shut Up: Zombieland (2009)
Storm in a Teabreak: Our Fave takes on...The Zombie 🧟♂️
The Tropestorming troupe talk their favourite Zombie examples and twists on the character trope before they tackle Zombieland. Zombies. Lawnmowers. Custard. Nuff Said...
7.The End is Extremely Troping Nigh - 28 Days Later...(2002)
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?

5. Cancelling The Tropocalypse - Pacific Rim (2013)
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
4. An Hauer of Power: Lost In Tropes, Like Tears In Rain - Blade Runner (1982)
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.
Storm In A Teabreak: ‘Technology Is...?’
After a somewhat forced hiatus (Chris has an interview and now an IRL job besides Trope Storming and Jim was marrying his brother abroad (?!) But now the gents are back and are kicker off with an appetiser for their upcoming Blade Runner episode. Looking at technology tropes in film. Just how deep does the rabbit hole go?
3. Got ‘em on the Tropes - Rocky (1976)
The Trope Stormers are back and the gloves are on/off. Delete as appropriate for the surprise hit boxing classic, Rocky. Who is Dr. Octagon? Would you 5 egg smoothie? Will Balboa’s story get a TKO Dystropian bruising? Or will it go the distance?
Storm In A Teabreak - What Is...’A Dragon?’
Love movies? Got a teabreak? Tropestormers bring a mug sized dose of their film and TV deconstruction for your. Jim and Chris look at the character archetype of ‘the Dragon’ and discuss their faves. Subscribe and give the main pod a whirl.
2. Jeeves on Reeves - Point Break (1991)
The Trope Stormers return as threatened, with a look at the best (and worst) surfing heist movie of all time. Jim hates someone called Mary Sue and Jeeves passes judgement on Reeves...
1.pt2 - Big Bird’s A Tw-t Jurassic Park (1993)
The Tropestormers continue their trope trial of Spielberg’s blockbuster classic adaptation. Dino science, a Jack Russell and more bad impressions feature. Will it be a first ever Utropia...or the unthinkable?
1. Tropes, uh...find a way...Jurassic Park (1993)
Chris and Jim kick off the Film and TV pod series TropeStormers with a bite. A podcast over 65 minutes in the making. They talk movies, backstory and dubious Paleoentology credentials and introduce you to a cast of mammoth stars of one of Jim’s favourite films...can he stomach tearing it apart? Keep a giant yellow torchlit eye out for part 2 tomorrow...
