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.

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.

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.

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.

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??
