About this episode

The episode reviews the unique Australian musical film 'The Return of Captain Invincible' with guest Ben Volchok.

For all of July, Sandro has picked a bunch of Australian movies to review, and we're starting with a film that is truly one of a kind. The Return of Captain Invincible is a musical about a WWII superhero (Alan Arkin) who flees to Australia after being accused of communism. When Mr Midnight (Christopher Lee) starts to kick off some evil plans, Captain Invincible works with a Sydney police detective (Kate Fitzpatrick) to take him down. We're joined by comedian (and regular guest) Ben Volchok to see if this bonkers premise can actually pull off being a good movie.
