このコンテンツについて

Sam and Boris love films, books, 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).

  • 14: The Last Airbender - a (Re)Encounter
    2025/07/01
    Water, Earth, Fire, Air - all combined to create a disaster of a film, which could have been great! Well, at least we eventually got the Netflix live-action version to rewrite the past wrongs. But that still doesn't mean Boris can't suffer the pain Sam did when watching M. Night Shyamalan's 2010 film The Last Airbender when it originally came out. However, it ended up being too much for Boris as a lover of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon - so the hosting duo called upon long-time listener and avid fan of the animated series, Emma Sophie Jahns to make the watching experience more manageable. If you've missed Boris and Sam slamming and ripping a piece of media to shreds, then get ready for one wild ride - not even Emma's attempts at finding a silver lining can change the tides of negative opinions from both our hosts and the wider viewing public.

  • 13: Wallace and Gromit (the short films) - a (Re)Encounter
    2025/05/30
    Here at (Re)Encounters we like to not only educate, but help tackle deeply rooted fears. While some people shake in their boots when watching gory horror and slasher flicks, Boris gets more than just the jitters when even considering watching anything made using claymation; the world famous stop-motion animation method which created those irrepressibly quirky and quintessentially British heroes of screens big and small, Wallace and Gromit. These two have a special place in the hearts of many, Sam included, so he's been pushing for Boris to bite the bullet and watch them for quite some time. The dynamic duo of zany, wide-grinned inventor and faithful, eye-rolling canine companion have long captivated the hearts and minds of children and adults alike, and it's past time that Boris understood why. In this super-charged episode (our thirteenth - unlucky for some, but not for us- it means we can celebrate a baker's dozen of episodes) our own duo of hosts will cast their analytical eyes over the four short films aired on television that included the cheese-loving pair; A Grand Day Out (1989), The Wrong Trousers (1993), A Close Shave (1995), and A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008). Sit down, have a cuppa and enjoy your favourite cheesy comestible, it'll be absolutely cracking!

  • 12: An Introduction to Westerns with The Searchers - a (Re)Encounter
    2025/04/07
    Ah the Western, a film genre so famous and full of conventions that it's always a synch to parody and poke fun at, but Boris had never seen one before, leaving a massive gap in his steadily growing catalogue of film knowledge. Before this episode that is... this time, Sam decided to show Boris one of the most celebrated of all Western films; The Searchers (1956). Almost 69 years ago, this classic revenge-quest film opened new doors for the genre and showed the world just how well visuals and story can join up to make a film truly spectacular. Listen as Sam gushes over a masterpiece, and Boris complicates things with his fresh new take on the film and Westerns as a whole. An occasion when their rankings actually match up? That'll be the day!
