    Episode 32: All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane

    Send us 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.

  2. APR 19

    Episode 31: Lonely Hearts

    Send us 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? Please enjoy.

    Episode 30: Death in Brunswick

    Send us 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??

    Episode 29: Windrider

    Send us 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.

    Episode 26: My First Summer

    Send us 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.

    Episode 25: Strictly Ballroom

    Send us 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.
