|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3/10/26 | Episode 35: He Died With A Falafel In His Hand | Send a text David and Daniel discuss Richard Lowenstein's misjudged, or perhaps misunderstood, film adaption of John Birmingham's beloved novel, He Died with a Falafel in his Hand. Please enjoy. | 1h 51m 27s | ||||||
| 1/23/26 | Episode 34: The Next Ten Movies | Send a text Daniel and David curate the next ten movies up for discussion on the podcast. A little bit of class, a little bit of low brow, and possibly a little bit of trash - something for everyone! Please enjoy. A caveat - in this episode David (the numpty) refers to the movie Struck by Lightning as the winner of the Best Film at the 1990 AFI Awards. This is not the case - it was nominated for Best Film, but lost to Flirting. | 49m 06s | ||||||
| 12/29/25 | Episode 33: The King is Dead! | Send a text David and Daniel discuss the 2012 Rolf De Heer movie The King is Dead! De Heer certainly takes a lot of bites out of a number of different genres - but does he manage to chew them successfully?? Please enjoy. | 1h 25m 40s | ||||||
| 7/8/25 | Episode 32: All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane | Send a text Daniel and David talk about the 2007 indie romcom All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane. Does this movie capture the true Brisbane experience? What exactly is THE seminal Brisbane text? Expect almost as much talk about the city as the movie in this episode - we just can't help ourselves. Please enjoy. | 1h 35m 02s | ||||||
| 4/19/25 | Episode 31: Lonely Hearts | Send a text David and Daniel talk (for a bit longer than usual) about 1982's originally celebrated, but now largely forgotten, comedy drama Lonely Hearts. Do the voices of lauded indie auteur Paul Cox and beloved humourist John Clarke blend well together? Can a filmmaker with more Euro-centric leanings make a film that resonates with a mainstream audience? Does the movie make us a believe that an in-her-thirties Wendy Hughes would find romantic connection with an in-his-fifties Norman Kaye? P... | 2h 00m 22s | ||||||
| 1/27/25 | Episode 30: Death in Brunswick | Send a text Daniel and David talk about John Ruane's dark comedy from 1991, Death in Brunswick. Is Sam Neill miscast, or perfectly cast, as the lead? Why did it take so long for Australia to attempt this style of comedy? And can the world have John Clarke back for just a little while?? | 1h 31m 07s | ||||||
| 9/27/24 | Episode 29: Windrider | Send a text David and Daniel talk about the final word of 1980s Australian cinema, Windrider, starring Tom Burlinson, a very young Nicole Kidman and the esteemed Charles "Bud" Tingwell. So much to unpack in this one. Enjoy. | 1h 40m 09s | ||||||
| 9/8/24 | Episode 28: My Year Without Sex | Send a text Daniel and David talk about Sarah Watts' 2009 slice of life comedy/drama My Year Without Sex, starring two of our best, Sasha Horler and Matt Day. Please enjoy. | 1h 28m 12s | ||||||
| 7/20/24 | Episode 27: Talk to Me | Send a text David and Daniel talk to the hand, so to speak, with 2023's Australian horror smash Talk to Me. Please enjoy. | 1h 29m 59s | ||||||
| 3/2/24 | Episode 26: My First Summer | Send a text Daniel and David talk about the charming low budget Australian indie film, My First Summer. How does this one stand apart from other queer cinema? Is it successful in tapping into the feelings of first love? What is your favourite type of flavoured milk? Please enjoy. | 1h 13m 59s | ||||||

| 1/24/24 | Episode 25: Strictly Ballroom | Send a text David and Daniel talk about one of the big guns of Australian cinema - Strictly Ballroom. Famously Baz Luhrmann's debut feature, but is it still, to date, his best film? Does Paul Mercurio have the wildest list of film credits in the years following this movie? Why didn't Tara Morice get higher profile roles after this film's success? Is love truly in the air? Please enjoy. | 1h 25m 10s | ||||||
| 11/26/23 | Episode 24: Reckless Kelly | Send a text Daniel and David talk about Yahoo Serious' 1993 movie, Reckless Kelly, the not-so-easy to navigate "second album" after his hugely successful debut. Did lightning strike twice for Mr. Serious? Does he make the best of his incredibly stacked cast? Are "boing- boing" sound effects your kind of comedy jam? Please enjoy. | 1h 22m 25s | ||||||
| 10/16/23 | Episode 23: The Next Ten Movies | Send a text David and Daniel curate the next ten episodes of the podcast - ranging between a beloved classic, a notorious misfire, a contemporary sleeper hit and a bunch curious looking indies. Please enjoy. | 39m 14s | ||||||
| 9/24/23 | Episode 22: Quigley Down Under | Send a text Daniel and David (and Roy) talk about Simon Wincer's 1990 western Quigley Down Under. Can a movie strike a balance between fun adventure and real life colonial horror? Will there ever be another screen villain as great as Alan Rickman? Is Mendo actually in this movie? Please enjoy. | 1h 41m 52s | ||||||
| 8/6/23 | Episode 21: The Cars That Ate Paris | Send a text David and Daniel talk about Peter Weir's one of a kind debut film, The Cars That Ate Paris. Is this movie a comedy? A satire? A horror film? Is Peter Weir Australia's finest filmmaker? Is Terry Camilleri's Arthur Waldo the most passive protagonist in cinema? Is it possible to make into your fifth decade of life and NOT know that John Meillon was the voice of the VB television commercials? Please enjoy. | 1h 35m 19s | ||||||
| 6/11/23 | Episode 20: Newsfront | Send a text Daniel and David talk about Phillip Noyce's 1978 film Newsfront. Is it, as some top critics claim, the greatest Australian film ever made? Is it a critique of the growing American influence over Australia in the post-war years? Is Wendy Hughes the most glamorous star Australia has ever produced? Just how old do YOU think Bill Hunter's character is? Please enjoy. | 1h 06m 19s | ||||||
| 4/30/23 | Episode 19: Thank God He Met Lizzie | Send a text David and Daniel talk about the romantic comedy (even though it kind of isn't...), Thank God He Met Lizzie. Does an early role for Cate Blanchett offer any indication of the movie star she's about to become? Why didn't we get more Frances O'Connor movies? Something something Richard Roxburgh? What exactly should you do when you encounter a pregnant cat? Please enjoy. | 1h 20m 17s | ||||||
| 3/19/23 | Episode 18: BMX Bandits | Send a text Daniel and David talk about Australian genre master Brian Trenchard Smith's 1983 kids adventure BMX Bandits. How refreshing is it to see a kids movie that is determined to deliver thrills, stunts and a good time for all. Not to mention, innuendo and hi-jinx that would not fly today because, you know, the 80s. Plus, the early work of not just one but TWO future Academy Award winners. Please enjoy. | 1h 22m 44s | ||||||
| 2/27/23 | Episode 17: Sweet Country | Send a text David and Daniel talk about Warwick Thornton's award winning 2018 western, Sweet Country. Please enjoy. | 1h 26m 42s | ||||||
| 1/28/23 | Episode 16: Let's Get Skase | Send a text Daniel and David talk about Let's Get Skase - a screwball comedy about the fictional apprehension of real life Australian scoundrel, Christopher Skase (if you're under 30, don't sweat, we explain who he is in the episode...). Did writer/star Lachy Hulme wring laughs out of his escalation of Skase to a Bond-level villain? Did Skase get the last laugh on the filmmakers by dying weeks before this film's 2001 release? Please enjoy. | 1h 21m 52s | ||||||
| 12/18/22 | Episode 15: "Crocodile" Dundee II | Send a text David and Daniel talk about the financially successful, but lesser loved, sequel to Paul Hogan's juggernaut success, "Crocodile" Dundee II. This time, Mick Dundee takes on a Colombian drug cartel, Gus Mercurio and some really tough fish. Please enjoy. | 1h 28m 35s | ||||||
| 11/25/22 | Episode 14: Babyteeth | Send a text Daniel and David discuss the 2020 film Babyteeth - a movie that won all of the awards... but unfortunately couldn't beat the pandemic during it's release. Bringing together beloved old school stars such as Mendo and Essie Davis, up and comers Eliza Scanlen and Toby Wallace, with debut director Shannon Murphy - we ask the question, "should this movie have made more of a dent in the wider Australian culture?" (The answer is yes). Please enjoy. | 1h 32m 34s | ||||||
| 10/21/22 | Episode 13: Children of the Revolution | Send a text David and Daniel discuss the 1996 comedy - and sort of tragedy - Children of the Revolution. It certainly brings the cast... but does it bring the goods? Please enjoy. | 1h 33m 44s | ||||||
| 9/18/22 | Episode 12: The Next Ten Movies... | Send a text Daniel and David announce the next ten Australian movies to be discussed on the podcast, ranging from the biggest box office hit of it's year of release to a movie David had to check actually existed in real life (spoiler: it does... and it looks good!). Please enjoy. | 35m 38s | ||||||
| 9/10/22 | Episode 11: The Big Steal | Send a text Are you lookin' or dreamin'?? David and Daniel discuss the well remembered and (by us anyway) well loved 1990 teen comedy The Big Steal. Is it really that much of a shock that stars Ben Mendelsohn and Claudia Karvan went on to have such long and respected careers? Is Steve Bisley's Gordon Farkas one of the all-time great Australian comedic foils? Have YOU ever seen a Nissan Cedric out in the wild? Please enjoy. | 1h 37m 44s | ||||||
