CW: This episode contains discussions of alcoholism and cinematic violence including animal cruelty.The writer, comedian and musician Patrick Marlborough returns to the podcast from Perth, WA to discuss Wake in Fright (1971), the landmark Australian film by the late Canadian director Ted Kotcheff. One of only two films to be shown twice in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, and influential in shaping both the Australian New Wave and Ozploitation genres, Wake in Fright was acclaimed around the world but outraged local audiences with its brutal and merciless depiction of Australian toxic masculinity, violence, and alcoholism.Patrick gives us some insight on how Wake in Fright captures some of the ugliest aspects of the Australian national character, and we discuss how Kotcheff's Canadian-ness was an asset for his outsider's view of this world, the amazing supporting performance by Aussie comic screen icon Chips Rafferty in his final role, and how this great film was nearly lost forever.

David “Gribs” Gribble grew up in Brisbane, AU and began studying photography at night school. He became a photo assistant, moved to Sydney, and found a job at a local film studio making commercials and low-budget movies. At the time, in the 1970's and '80's, Australia was experiencing a resurgence of its cinema, known as the Australian New Wave. The government provided tax incentives for ordinary people to invest in movies, and established the Australian Film, Television and Radio School. The country's film industry was jump started, and the genre known as Ozploitation was born. Gribs learned camera operating on the job. His first feature film was The Man From Hong Kong, followed by the Aussie cult classic race movie, Running On Empty. The film Monkey Grip won some awards, and Gribs was asked to shoot his first American movie, Off Limits, starring Willem Dafoe and Gregory Hines. He thinks that working with American actors was different than working with Australian actors- the Americans seemed to be more prone to distraction and sensitive about their appearance. Gribs learned to “light faces, not places” since that's where the dialog comes from, and flattering actors by telling them how great they look in a particular spot, to give them tools to make themselves look better on screen. He also learned that in lighting, it's better to work with a broad brush and shoot before you're ready- as a cinematographer, don't indulge yourself too much. The movie Cadillac Man was challenging to shoot for a few reasons. The movie takes place almost entirely in one location- at the car dealership. Gribs had to combat flat lighting up against the walls of the office, as well as dealing with reflections from shiny cars and large windows. Director Roger Donaldson shot take after take, because actor Robin Williams was constantly improvising off script. Gribs found him extremely funny, and says there was so much extra footage of Williams that was cut out, it could probably make another movie. Gribs also discusses working with Anthony Hopkins on The World's Fastest Indian, Jean-Claude Van Damme on The Quest and shooting the Jesse Stone movies starring Tom Selleck.

This episode examines Breaker Morant, the 1980 Australian New Wave film depicting the military trial of Harry ("Breaker") Morant and two other Australian soldiers for war crimes committed during the Second Boer War in South Africa. The film, directed by Bruce Beresford, offers a gripping account of the trial and raises a host of questions about law and justice during wartime--questions that are as relevant today as they were when the trial took place more than a century ago. I am joined on this episode by veteran attorney Michel Paradis, who has served as military defense counsel in landmark war crimes trials at Guantanamo Bay and who has written widely about issues of international law and military justice. Michel is a lecturer at Columbia Law School in New York and a partner at Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP.

Today, I'm sitting down with Wayne Pashley, the Oscar-Nominated Sound Editor & Sound Designer best known for Baz Luhrmann's ELVIS. We talk about the immense technical undertaking of re-creating Elvis's iconic music and voice, and why this ELVIS wasn't a biopic, but an opera. He's had a legendary career with Director Baz Luhrmann, but he also created the sonic chaos of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Wayne tells us how he got his start in the business, about being a part of the Australian New Wave of Movies, and what it means to create sonic glue!  This is a great talk with a fabulous artist, so please listen, share, and enjoy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

When many people think of Australia in the 1960s, they picture an era of protests, sexual exploration and counter-revolutions staged namely by what we now call "The Baby Boomer Generation", who began Australia's first timid steps towards cultural maturity. These Australians began exercising their influence against restrictive legislation, outdated morality and social issues within Australian society, which is exactly the opposite of what their generation stands for now. Cinema around the world was transitioning from big studio led productions to an "Auteur director"-led model. Young experimental film makers with a little cash and a lot of spirit began to make the movie industry their own. Their creativity was influenced by anti-government sentiment after the disastrous results of the Vietnam War, the second wave feminist movement, and the push for the acceptance of the homosexual community. Young Australian film makers were watching, taking notes and preparing for their first steps into the industry. Join Holly and Matthew as they talk Australian New Wave Cinema/Ozploitation, the genre, the heavy hitters, and where the industry would go from here...

Movie of the Year: 1975Picnic at Hanging Rock The Taste Buds continue their journey through 1975 with another bonus episode, this time about Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock! On an all-new episode of Movie of the Year: 1975, the Taste Buds discuss Picnic at Hanging Rock. Host Ryan, along with Taste Buds Greg and Van, dive into the movie that kicked off the Australian New Wave of the 1970's. And this movie is Australian as fudge...sort of. The movie tells the story of a small girl's prep school, who take a titular picnic to a titular Hanging Rock. After some good old-fashioned outbackin', three students and a teacher mysteriously disappear. Will this be an issue for the rest of the school? You bet! So it's very Australian, because it shows how the outdoors is dangerous, but it also doesn't feel Australian, because of its languid pacing and severe lack of dudes playing fire guitars on driving cars. Australia: land of many things. Also, none of the picnickers discuss Fosters, which is Australian for beer, so how Australian can the movie really be, anyway? The Taste Buds try to crack the movie open like a can of the aforementioned Fosters (Australian for beer) by trying to get down to what director Peter Weir was really doing here. What was he trying to say by focusing on schoolgirls at the turn of the century? They also discuss the sexiness - or lack thereof - of the movie. The girls are being kept from sex and sexy thoughts in every conceivable way. Is this really a good idea? Society has never really been able to trick young girls into completely forgetting about the concept of sex...though it might work for this school. Finally, this Weir f#$@er doesn't even explain where the girls went! Is that something that keeps it from being great? Get the definitive answers to these questions, and so much more, on an all-new Movie of the Year!!! Make sure to also: Check out the 1975 bracket Visit our website Use our Amazon page!

The 1970s going into the early 1980s are generally regarded as a purple patch of Australian cinema – The Australian New Wave. Film makers had financial support. Audiences wanted to see their own backyard on the big screen (before bloody cultural cringe set in again). There were films that focused on T&A and machismo, there were a lot of period pieces, and there were tales of crime. The films weren't always successful, but there was a spirit about them that's still exciting. Audiences recognised themselves in film (although they denied it when Wake In Fright came out).So, where does Oz: A Rock 'n; Roll Road Movie (aka 20th Century Oz) fit in? Where does an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz that sees Dorothy as a groupie who dreams she's on a highway headed for the big city to see a concert featuring The Wizard with a surfer, a mechanic and a biker as her company actually stand in the canon of local 70s cinema?Welcome to Love That Album episode 149.Why am I starting the blurb for a music discussion podcast with a description about movies? Especially in reference to a film that's already been discussed on the See Hear Podcast (episode 33...hint hint)Well, the film has a soundtrack, you see......Previous LTA interview subject Sarah Carroll and her son George Carroll Wilson are both huge fans of the film. I invited them onto the show to talk about the soundtrack. Of course, you can't really discuss a soundtrack without reference to the film itself. We also had a lengthy discussion about the Australian music scene of the period, the history behind the key players involved with the music and the film (Ross Wilson and Chris Lofven), and of course the music itself and how it worked in the context of the story.BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE.....One of the exciting thing about the soundtrack of Oz is that it features the debut of a band that became very big in the late 70s, Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons. This episode features an interview with ex-Falcon Wayne Burt who wrote their songs for this film. I was rapt to speak to someone in the thick of it from the period.My huge gratitude to Sarah, George and Wayne for making this such a fun show to record.You can find out more about Sarah at https://www.sarahcarrollstarparade.com/George's music is available at Bandcamp https://pollyman.bandcamp.com/musicUntil Umbrella chooses to re-release the film on DVD / blu-ray, it's on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATiiOGg_ZyQ….and you can search out the See Hear episode with myself, Bernie, Tim and the Projection Booth's Mike White discussing Oz downloading from https://seehearpodcast.blogspot.com/2020/05/see-hear-podcast-episode-33-oz-rock-n.htmlDownload this episode of LTA from Spotify, Stitcher or iTunes (search for “Love That Album podcast”)....or wherever you prefer getting your podcasts.Love That Album is proudly part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

The 1970s going into the early 1980s are generally regarded as a purple patch of Australian cinema – The Australian New Wave. Film makers had financial support. Audiences wanted to see their own backyard on the big screen (before bloody cultural cringe set in again). There were films that focused on T&A and machismo, there were a lot of period pieces, and there were tales of crime. The films weren't always successful, but there was a spirit about them that's still exciting. Audiences recognised themselves in film (although they denied it when Wake In Fright came out). So, where does Oz: A Rock 'n; Roll Road Movie (aka 20th Century Oz) fit in? Where does an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz that sees Dorothy as a groupie who dreams she's on a highway headed for the big city to see a concert featuring The Wizard with a surfer, a mechanic and a biker as her company actually stand in the canon of local 70s cinema? Welcome to Love That Album episode 149. Why am I starting the blurb for a music discussion podcast with a description about movies? Especially in reference to a film that's already been discussed on the See Hear Podcast (episode 33...hint hint) Well, the film has a soundtrack, you see...... Previous LTA interview subject Sarah Carroll and her son George Carroll Wilson are both huge fans of the film. I invited them onto the show to talk about the soundtrack. Of course, you can't really discuss a soundtrack without reference to the film itself. We also had a lengthy discussion about the Australian music scene of the period, the history behind the key players involved with the music and the film (Ross Wilson and Chris Lofven), and of course the music itself and how it worked in the context of the story. BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE..... One of the exciting thing about the soundtrack of Oz is that it features the debut of a band that became very big in the late 70s, Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons.

Announcing our line-up for Episode 19 — Chris' pick: from Netflix - the bafflingly true tale from Aaron Sorkin, The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020). Beau's response: the equally true and certainly stirring jewel of Australian New Wave cinema, Breaker Morant (1980).

This week's guest is Jacob Davison. We talk about Australian New Wave films. This week's films are: Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, and My Brilliant Career.  Dial F for Film is a podcast about the love of movies and host's -- J. Carlos Menjivar -- attempt to watch 1001 movies before he dies. A lover of lists and film, Carlos is a firm believer that all film lists should be tackled with one goal in mind: completion. Steven Jay Schneiider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" is the subject of this podcast. Each episode features one guest and five movies from the massive list, compiled into themed lists by the host. Guests each week will select one category without any prior knowledge as to what films are included. Once a category is chosen, Carlos reveals the five films and the viewing begins. The guests then come on Dial F for Film via Zoom and the discussion begins.

What will you do to become a star?In this episode, David takes Izzi on a nostalgic trip to the 1980's with his pick, the Australian musical comedy, Starstruck.  The TML podcasters talk about the wonderful world of video rentals, record stores and cool art house theatres  that were prominent in the pacific northwest. Izzi discusses about the processes that go into making a musical and how MTV helped Australian New Wave music get on the map."Star quality, eh?

Today on our show we have a dear friend of ours who has supported the Mu Meson Archives for many years and gave us the time out of his busy schedule to sit down with us and chat about us his fabulous career. Born with celluloid coursing through his veins, Trenchard-Smith made his first film at the age of 15. Four years later, he received his first commissioned assignment, which led to a job at a French news channel stationed in London. In 1965, he moved to Australia, just a handful of years before the Australian New Wave and Australian Exploitation, known colloquially as “Ozploitation,” burst on to the world cinema stage. The former were ethereal art house movies, occasionally vying for the Best Foreign Film award at each year's Oscars ceremony; the latter were genre films packed with action, laced with nudity and bursting with energy. Trenchard-Smith was made for the latter. Brian has a new book out "Adventures in the B movie trade":
