Episode 25: Strictly Ballroom
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.

Episode 24: Reckless Kelly
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.

Episode 23: The Next Ten Movies
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.

Episode 22: Quigley Down Under
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.

Episode 21: The Cars That Ate Paris
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.
