TROPE ON A ROPE is a weekly podcast where Jeff and his mate Colin, along with their guests discuss and dissect the common movie tropes that have come to define cinema.


From the high concept sci-fi mind-f**k that contorts ideas of reality and identity; the young and naive small-town musician who is thrown into the deep-end world of money, high fashion and fame; and the brooding anti-hero whose methods test the bounds of an audiences acceptance; to the grizzled cop that will work the case no matter what their superiors say; the time-loops that allow our protagonist years’ worth of personal growth in day; and those films where Liam Neeson just f**kin’ punches shit in the face.


We’ll look at them all, compare, contrast, and contemplate which are raised up the flag-pole for all to salute, and which are hoisted by their own petard.

    31 - EVENT HORIZON (1997) - ABANDONED SHIPS
    Jan 10 2026

    Happy new year, and what better way to celebrate the boundless opportunity of the future than to look at a film where unchecked ambition and scientific endevour leads the crews of two ships straight into a blood orgy in hell itself. So join myself and colin as we wander the dark and for some reason very long corridors of the good ship Event Horizon, a film that everyone at the time kinda brushed aside, even though its f**kin' awsome.


    Libera te tutemet ex inferis, y'all!

    30 - DON QUIXOTE (2018) - TERRY GILLIAM
    Nov 28 2025

    Hi there adventurer, we round out our wanderings through the strange world of Terry Gilliam movies with his 2018 mulligan THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE. So join Jeff and Colin as one of them probably mispronounces the name of the main character, they both attempt ill-advised and borderline actionable Spanish accents, and get side tracked by the time Johnny Vaughan tricked a bunch of people into thinking they were going to space.

    29 - DOCTOR PARNASSUS (2009) - TERRY GILLIAM
    Oct 21 2025

    Hello, join us as we work our way through the turbulent waters of TERRY GILLIAM films, a man with unbounded imagination that often comes up against real world problems. In DR. PARNASSUS he (not for the first time) came up against the problem of his main character dying halfway through filming, so had to come up with some crafty solutions to navigate his way around it. Problem is that the film, as inventive as it is, has a real problem (not for the first time) with women and how old they are... its a bit crook.
