History Podcast / TranquilTirades

** To name but a few things they give recurring ShoutOuts to:

*** ''{{Xenogears}}''

The show's official website is a wiki with well over 1,100 pages documenting all of the movies the hosts have reviewed over the years, as well as pages for all the "notable" characters in all of the movies, pages explaining running gags and in-jokes uttered on the podcast, and various other hilarity. The hosts have also created their own series of tropes commonly found in terrible movies. A link to the Tranquil Tirades Wiki can be found [[http://tranquiltirades.wikia.com here]].

** First off, there show was originally a segment on the main Earth-2.net podcast.

* OneSteveLimit: Michael David Sims, Michael Cole, and Cole Hurley.

* CerberusSyndrome/ShooOutTheClowns: Downplayed. While there is still a lot of comedy in the show, there has been much more of a shift towards a critical analysis after Michael Cole left the show.

* ScoringPoints: An odd example, but because every film the hosts cover is assumed to be bad, a numeric scoring system simply did not work. Therefore, they created The Final Word to "score" each film. They sum up the entire film they just reviewed with a single word (or noise).
* ShoutOut: To the point where half the things they say can qualify as one.

*** This very wiki, on occasion
*** WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons

* RunningGag/InJoke

* BrickJoke: A one-off references made to nanomachines being implanted in both of the hosts (yes, really) in the 2013 Retrospective is [[spoiler: used by the Transformers to track down said hosts in order to kill them.]]

* CatchPhrase: "Where taste in cinema comes to die."

* RunningGag

** Great Band Name

* TakeThat: Frequently, usually from Damien.

* AccentuatetheNegative: Zigzagged. Usually, the films they cover do actually tend to be as bad as they proclaim them to be. However, the hosts have admitted that sometimes, they do tend to go a bit overboard at times.

** Secondly, and more expectedly, was the review of Heroes of Wrestling.
** The last two times were the end of the year clip shows.

* BileFascination: The hosts have this with a few films, like Zardoz and Santa's Slay, to name but a few. Usually, it's with films that are of a SoBadItsGood quality.

** Literally, in Damien's case, during the Twilight: Eclipse coverage.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Frequently.
** Most notably, Michael Cole exiting the show in early 2012 after a series of undisclosed negative events between himself and James.

'''''Tranquil Tirades''''' is a Parsec Award-nominated and five-star iTunes-rated monthly podcast (as well as a written series of reviews) created specifically for the purpose of covering and critiquing horrible movies (and on rare occasions, other media).

* InUniverse: The Tiradesverse, the universe wherein all bad media is placed.

* DeadpanSnarker: Both of the hosts

* InUniverse: The Tiradesverse

** A joke for three people

* CallBack: Frequently, to the point where it's to be expected nowadays.

Where this podcast differs from other movie review podcasts and videos is that the Tirades' format follows a beat-by-beat coverage of the entire movie in question from beginning to end, analyzing (re: trashing) every single scene. Episodes can be downloaded for free from iTunes or from [[http://www.earth-2.net/ Earth-2.net]] and written reviews can also be read at the website. The hosts are Atlanta natives, James Deaux and Damien Wilkens.

** Before the ''{{Highlander 2}}'' episode, James and Damien didn't have a set schedule of films that they would do for a given year.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Hoo boy, where to start

** Secondly, there was a third cohost, Michael Cole, from episode 0.2, Dead or Alive, to episode 14, Troll 2.
** Thirdly, the show has gone through a number of different theme songs, the current being Cynics and Critics by Icon for Hire.
** Before the Highlander 2 episode, James and Damien didn't have a set schedule of films that they would do for a given year.

* HollywoodHacking: The hosts frequently run into this trope, to the point where they've called it 'movie hacking'

* MoneyDearBoy: The hosts have to regularly deal with this trope, which they have named the "Ben Kingsley Paycheck," named as such because of Ben Kingsley's role in the film Bloodrayne.
* PlotArmor: Characters that the hosts run into that are too important to kill generally have this. James and Damien even have a trope called this, which may be a Shout Out to this wiki.
* PlotHole: Regularly discussed, given the nature of the show. The hosts refer to monumental ones as 'holes that Wicker Man this movie', in reference to the plot hole at the end of the Wicker Man remake, wherein the reason that the main character was brought to the island was because he had a blood connection to the island, despite every other man on the island being inbred and having one as well.
** Related, there is a related trope called the Seinfeld Plot Hole, which encompasses this trope and PoorCommunicationKills.
* PoliceAreUseless: The hosts frequently run into these types of characters, to the point of making a trope of their own, called There Are No Police.

** To name but a few things they give ShoutOuts to:

*** VideoGame/ChronoTrigger
*** Film/Zardoz

* PoliceAreUseless: The hosts frequently run into these types of characters, to the point of making a trope of their own.

* TropeMaker and TropeNamer: Literal. On the Tranquil Tirades Wiki, the hosts have created their own library of tropes found in horrible movies.
