About this episode

The Spoop Bois discuss the 1984 Australian horror film 'Razorback' and its thematic elements.

On this episode, the Spoop Bois discuss 1984's Australian animal attack horror film "Razorback" written by Everett De Roche and directed by Russell Mulcahy. They talk about the Ozploitation sub-genre of movies, the use of the Australian outback as a wasteland, and the elements of psychedelia and ethereal nightmare logic in visuals and storytelling. They also get into the backdrop of animal rights activism, man vs nature, the junk punk aesthetic of the Baker brother characters, and many other aspects of the film. Aaron and Derek only got two states of being- dangerous or dead.
