Regional Australia has been key to so much of Australia's cinematic success. Can Australia's film industry produce another outback classic like Crocodile Dundee?

Interior staterooms from $1,200 for two guests, including free Wi-Fi, in-room breakfast, and unlimited premium drinks; features a live broadcast and the Mediocre Idol karaoke competition. Deposit info at tomanddancruise2027.com; later in the show they note roughly 150 people have already signed up. Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com) — Attorney Moe Dewitt sponsors the show; pitched twice as a personal recommendation from Dan. Promotes his free VIP program (event invites), the Moe Grand Prix in Tampa, an interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross coming in October, and the annual Moe Celebrity Bowlarama. Core Flooring Center (coreflooringfl.com) — Owner Corey's Central Florida showroom (walkable flooring samples). Listeners get 10% off flooring and labor starting at $1/sq ft, 0% financing for 24 months, and dustless flooring removal; a portion of sales supports local pet charities. Segment Rundown Show open and download-count banter — Tom and Dan kick off the Friday free show joking about being too comfortable on air and touting the show's roughly 20 million total downloads over nearly 30 years. Savannah's dramatic entrance — The hosts joke about a professionally produced "Crocodile Dundee"-style intro bit for Savannah, then she bursts in late, having just come from getting a traffic ticket. Expired-tag traffic stop story — Savannah recounts being pulled over driving from Gatorland for an expired vehicle registration, getting warned a repeat stop could mean jail, and paying a $114 ticket. The group riffs on DMV renewal hassles, automated license-plate-reading cameras, and Dan's own past run-in with an expired driver's license (including his wife Crystal once telling a cop she was driving because his license was suspended). Australia trip recap: Northern Territory and viral songs — Savannah describes her month-long stay near Darwin with her friend Catherine's teenage kids, then plays two viral local songs ("Pink Blush" and a track by Young Miami), sparking a debate about fast-fashion brands like Shein versus the designer-brand references in older rap. Remembering Dolly Parton — The group discusses Dolly Parton's recent death, with Savannah recalling the outpouring of sympathy she got from Australians while traveling, a bit about post office flags at half-staff, and a running joke about Dan dressing as Dolly for Halloween. Filming crocodile feedings — Savannah describes filming pig-meat crocodile feedings for content and a near-miss when a crocodile bumped her GoPro rig underwater. The crocodile-poop diamond ring — Savannah tells the story of pulling a tarnished diamond ring out of crocodile droppings while cleaning park drains, brings it into the studio, and the group speculates on how it got there (a lost tourist's ring, a ring embedded in pig meat, or something a "nuisance" crocodile swallowed years earlier) and whether she'd return it if she ever traced it to a victim's family. Wombat and wallaby encounters — Savannah describes her daily play sessions (and occasional bites) with a wombat named Rocket and a standoffish wallaroo named King George at the park. Tease for jet lag / NFL Australia segment — Brief tease before the break about discussing jet lag and the NFL game being played in Australia the following week. AI-assisted ring analysis — Back from break, Dan reveals he ran a description of the ring through Claude, which suggested a sterling-silver band with an oval clear stone in a style common from the 1920s–1960s and recommended a jeweler test for a maker's mark; the hosts jokingly dangle a free cruise spot for whoever can positively identify the ring. The mystery poop bag / Seth Petruzzelli reveal — Callback to a bit about a dog-poop bag left outside the studio all week; caller Brandon had correctly guessed it belonged to former guest Seth Petruzzelli, confirmed via a group text from Seth (on a cruise). Brandon is rewarded with a Tom & Dan merchandise prize pack. Jet lag mechanics and NFL Australia games — Savannah explains why the trip home from Australia hits harder than the trip there, recounting driving on the wrong side of the road and getting lost the morning after landing. This leads into discussion of the 49ers vs. Rams Week 1 game in Australia and whose travel plan (acclimating a week early vs. arriving 24 hours out) will backfire. Wheel of Fortune announcer scandal — The hosts discuss announcer Jim Thornton's firing after being seen on a flight accessing an online support community for people with pedophilic thoughts, debating intent and why the network cut ties regardless. Plane screen-privacy and targeted-ad tangent — A bit about people snooping on neighbors' phone/laptop screens on flights, Dan's admission to browsing a friend-of-the-show burlesque performer's photos mid-flight, and a riff on social media ads seeming to "listen in" on conversations. Otter attack news story — A news item about a woman injured by an otter while open-water swimming leads to a tangent celebrating unstoppable elderly athletes (swimmers, runners, pickleball players). "Last Stop Laramie" documentary recommendation — Savannah recommends an HBO Max true-crime documentary about an unsolved murder in a tiny Northern Territory town, calling it "homework" for listeners; also mentions the 20th anniversary of Steve Irwin's death and shares Australian "strawberry cloud" candy with the hosts. Burning Man riff ("bring the vinegar") — An extended bit about Burning Man culture: having to rinse off alkaline playa dust with vinegar (the episode's namesake joke), gripes about big festival crowds and sound quality, trash left behind at the event, and a running gag about starting a mini parody version called "Burning Dan." Shoes and celebrity memorabilia tangent — A bit about favorite oversized New Balance "Willie Nelson" sneakers (with a mention of Willie Nelson's own shoes on display in Nashville), followed by talk of friends' celebrity memorabilia — a Dolly Parton outfit, Betty White's door, a talking Satchmo doll, and an animatronic singing Alan Jackson Santa. Social media algorithm suppression and Instagram "breakup" — Savannah explains how Instagram throttles her reach unless she posts risky "running from crocodiles" content, even losing followers off a 1.5-million-view viral video, and describes going on a content blackout and writing the platform a "Dear John" video letter. The group connects this to algorithms rewarding negativity and the growing uncertainty over AI-generated content online. Voicemail: TikTok algorithm burnout — A listener voicemail says the TikTok algorithm has gotten worse and they've switched to rewatching old shows (Vice Principals, The Righteous Gemstones); the hosts riff on preferring classic sitcoms (The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Good Times, Golden Girls) over TikTok and note wanting to watch "Monsters of God," a documentary Savannah says she knows people featured in. Show close — Sign-off wishing listeners a safe Labor Day weekend, a reminder the show is off Monday and returns Tuesday with the BDM show, an apology for canceling Thursday's show due to Dan's emergency root canal, and a closing plug for the 2027 "Seaz Nuts" Tom and Dan Cruise, noting strong early sign-ups. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Next week: NFL Week 1 game played in Australia (49ers vs. Rams), discussed re: jet lag. Monday: Show is off. Tuesday: Show returns with the BDM edition. October: Just Call Moe's interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross. September 23–26, 2027: Tom and Dan "Seaz Nuts" Cruise, sailing from Port Canaveral on the MSC Seashore (Nassau and Ocean Cay stops) — deposits open now at tomanddancruise2027.com. Ongoing/unscheduled: Moe Grand Prix (Tampa) and Moe Celebrity Bowlarama, plugged via justcallmoe.com's VIP program. Notable Guests/Callers Savannah — In-studio guest from Gatorland; recounted her month-long Australia trip, the crocodile-poop diamond ring find, and her ongoing standoff with Instagram's algorithm. Brandon — Phone-in caller who correctly guessed that former guest Seth Petruzzelli left the poop bag outside the studio; awarded a Tom & Dan prize pack. Seth Petruzzelli — Referenced (not on air) via a group text confirming he was the "poop bag culprit." Unnamed voicemail caller — Left a voicemail about TikTok algorithm burnout, prompting the closing sitcom-nostalgia discussion. ### Website: https://tomanddan.com/ App: https://tomanddan.com/app Become a BDM: https://tomanddan.com/registration Merch: https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/ X: https://x.com/TomAndDanLive TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan ACT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss AMT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss
G'day Mate! Time to revisit a 40 year old movie...Crocodile Dundee! Yup, you know him, love him, and have said at least once..."That's Not a Knife...This is a knife!" Right??? Come join us for some nostalgia and some memories as we head to the outback and then New York City in this 80's classic. And if you HAVEN'T watched this movie...what are you waiting for?

What does it take to tear up a million-dollar check and bet everything on a dream? That's exactly what Tim Gannon did when he walked away from Al Copeland to co-found Outback Steakhouse with just $37 in his pocketIn this episode, Dan Rowe sits down with Tim to unpack the philosophy, partnerships, and food obsession that turned a scrappy steakhouse concept, born from a Crocodile Dundee viewing session, into one of the most iconic casual dining empires in history.Tune in as we explore:(02:03) Tim Gannon's journey from Florence to food(05:55) The dinner that inspired chef-driven casual dining(09:26) ‘Serious Food Meetings' and exacting standards(10:25) Tearing up a million-dollar check(12:09) The four partners and their distinct roles(15:07) How Outback got its name and Australian theme(22:01) The Manager Partner Program that changed lives(28:34) How the partner model fueled explosive growth(30:14) Real estate strategy and the 2:1 sales ratio(35:05) Putting the partner's name above the door(36:34) Lessons from international expansion(39:20) ‘Principles and Beliefs' culture documentOn why knowing your product to exacting standards separates good from greatTim Gannon: "I can eat a Bloomin' Onion today and tell you if it was cooked at 342 or 349 temperature. That's knowing your products to exacting standards. That's what George was."On why making money with people, not from them, is the real business modelTim Gannon: "I wanted to make my money with someone, not for someone. And that was a very important lesson because I knew Al Copeland and he would pay me well, but it would always be kind of his money. I was uncomfortable with that."On why taking care of your people first is the only sequence that worksTim Gannon: "The first commitment was to our Outbackers. Think about your employees first, because if you take care of them, they're going to take care of the guests. Well, the financial guy's going to be happy. The financial results are always going to be there."

Then, co-writer of the movie Matthew Berry pops in to discuss how he first got involved on the project, his public dispute with Paul Hogan over writing credit, and the things he's proud of and embarrassed by in the movie.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mike back on the show as they discuss the 1986 crime drama F/X. In this frachise starter, a Crocodile Dundee clone is a special effects (F/X, get it?) expert, hired to fake the death of a mob informer, using the power of F/X. But maybe he really killed him. Or maybe the whole thing is a con. There are a lot of twists and turns in this one, and then Tommy Boy's dad show up. He should have been introduced much earlier in the film. Anyway this was a very divided flick for the E&N team. Listen to them argue over the merits (or possibly lack there of) of this movie. Enjoy the podcast!!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new
The flavor of the month...or maybe that should be the flavor of the last 36 months of the 1980s was Australia. Crocodile Dundee-mania was huge and Yahoo Serious was briefly relevant. Surely, someone will incorporate an Aussie into a television show. Lo and behold, CBS did with a family-oriented sitcom with an Australian live-in nanny, which is merely a blip in television history.

Australian icon, comedian and actor Paul Hogan has taken aim at One Nation's Pauline Hanson over her calls to end multiculturalism in Australia. The Crocodile Dundee star said Hanson was 'living in the past' and labelled her a 'racist' and a 'pelican.' Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says Hogan claimed Australia is a 'multicultural' country and voiced opposition to Hanson's recent comments.

Released in 1986, Crocodile Dundee was directed by Peter Faiman and co-written by Paul Hogan, Ken Shadie, and John Cornell, with Hogan also starring as the now-iconic Mick Dundee. Made on a modest budget of around A$8.8 million, the film was designed to be a broad, crowd-pleasing Australian comedy that could travel internationally — which is exactly what it did, with all the subtlety of a bloke walking into a New York hotel with a knife the size of a paving slab.Filming took place across Australia and the United States, including Queensland, Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, and New York City. Linda Kozlowski was cast opposite Hogan as American journalist Sue Charlton, while the supporting cast included John Meillon, David Gulpilil, Mark Blum, and Michael Lombard. The film became a worldwide box-office phenomenon, earning more than US$328 million globally and turning Mick Dundee into one of the most recognisable screen characters of the VHS era.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISDeep in the Australian Outback, where the wildlife wants to kill you and the locals treat mortal danger as light admin, one man has become a legend. His name is Mick Dundee — hunter, survivor, charmer, and possibly the only man alive who looks at a crocodile and thinks, “G'Day”When a New York journalist travels across the world to meet him, she finds more than just a story. She finds a man who doesn't quite fit into polite society, mostly because polite society has fewer snakes, fewer campfires, and significantly less casual knife work.But when Mick Dundee swaps the Outback for Manhattan, the jungle changes. The predators wear suits, the streets are full of noise, and our hero must face his greatest challenge yet: modern civilisation. Strewth, New York doesn't know what's coming.FUN FACTSCrocodile Dundee was inspired in part by the real-life exploits of Australian bushman Rod Ansell, whose survival story helped feed the mythic quality of Mick Dundee.Paul Hogan was already a major TV personality in Australia before the film, thanks to The Paul Hogan Show, but this movie made him an international star.The screenplay received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay, which is not bad for a film best remembered by many people for one very specific knife comparison.Paul Hogan won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for his performance as Mick Dundee.The film was released in Australia in April 1986 and in the United States in September 1986, where it became a major hit.There are different cuts of the film: the international version was slightly shorter and adjusted some Australian slang for overseas audiences.The famous “Walkabout Creek Hotel” scenes were filmed at the Walkabout Creek Hotel in McKinlay, Queensland, which became a tourist destination after the movie's success.The film was a huge success on UK television, drawing a massive Christmas Day audience when it aired on BBC One in 1989.A restored 4K version, Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut, premiered in 2025 with several edits and updates for modern release.MUSICCheckout the parody music from the show on Spotify here.SUPPORT THE SHOWSupport the Show If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.

The poll this week was all picked by our wonderful pateron member "Kate from Down Under" and through some weird twist of fate it was one of the most brutal Australian horrors "Wolf Creek"This is like an anti tourism advert for the outback as three friends go exploring and ultimately find themselves with horror's own version of Crocodile Dundee. What starts out as a super glacial pace soon becomes one of the most intense watched you will ever have and it has given me another reason on top of all the deadly animals not to visit our Aussie cousins on the other side of the world. that being said it made for a great episode complete with interactive features and facts not to mention the most unhinged game of would you rather that we have ever played... So check us out, come and have a laugh and relive the terror of what the Australian outback has to offer.
Chris 'Brolga' Barns fell in love with joeys and became a kangaroo 'mum'. He rescues orphaned baby kangaroos, or joeys, carrying them around in a pillowcase to mimic their mum's pouch. While working as a tour guide in the Australian outback, Brolga would always check the pouches of kangaroos killed by cars lying on the side of the road, where often the joeys would still be alive. The plan was to look after them until they could be released back into the wild, but sometimes they had been injured and couldn't outrun dingoes or bush fires. So Brolga gave up his job to create a kangaroo sanctuary for them in Alice Springs, in Australia's red centre. After leading some land and digging for 18 months to build a giant dingo-proof fence, he spent all his money. He ended up living in a tin shack on site, without any electricity or a toilet, sharing his bed with the orphaned joeys he was caring for. But the visitors he had hoped for did not come, and he had no income. Things were looking bleak. Then he starred in a BBC documentary series called Kangaroo Dundee. The title was a play on the hit comedy film Crocodile Dundee, about a man from the outback who wows everyone in the big city. Brolga's TV appearance wowed too - much to his surprise, he received hundreds of emails from female fans, who were unaware that he had a brand-new girlfriend (now his wife). The show guaranteed the Kangaroo Sanctuary's survival, and Brolga was able to dedicate all his time to mothering orphaned joeys. One of his first rescues, an alpha male kangaroo called Roger, became an internet sensation for always trying to attack his 'mum', Brolga, who he now saw as a rival. And recently some of Brolga's joeys starred in a family film called Kangaroo, inspired by his life.

This week, the Dads head into the Australian Outback to review Nicolas Roeg's mesmerizing and dreamlike 1971 survival drama, Walkabout.Dan kicks things off by admitting he completely confused this movie with A Far Off Place, spending the first hour waiting for a dog that was never going to appear. Once the confusion settles, Sidey, Dan, Reegs, and Cris dive deep into this visual masterpiece starring Jenny Agutter, Luc Roeg, and the legendary David Gulpilil.In this episode:- Dan's Kalahari Desert mix-up- The culture clash: modern society vs. indigenous life- Have humans evolved too fast for the modern world? (Cris predicts our WALL-E slug future)- The indestructible nature of 1970s school uniform tights- Why you shouldn't go hiking in formal leather school shoes- The brilliant, almost entirely improvised performances from the young cast- Comparisons to last week's film (Sovereign) on the topic of rejecting modern societyVerdict: Strong recommend across the board. A weird, beautiful, and thought-provoking classic.Films/shows mentioned: Walkabout (1971), Sovereign (2025), A Far Off Place (1993), Don't Look Now (1973), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), WALL-E (2008), Crocodile Dundee (1986).You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

In this episode, we sit down with Adam Greentree for a wide-ranging, no-filter conversation that starts with fake Australia tourism commercials and Crocodile Dundee nostalgia and quickly turns into something much deeper. Adam breaks down what it really means to leave Australia behind: the landscapes, the wilderness, the freedom to hunt without a calendar, and the difference between fear and awareness. He shares firsthand stories from the Northern Territory, from saltwater crocodiles pushing into camp to the calculated risks of collecting water in croc country, and why many of the most dangerous encounters are never reported. The conversation shifts into mindset and purpose: voluntary suffering, preparation as mental health, and why pursuits like bowhunting, skydiving, and whitewater force you to respect time, consequence, and competence. Adam explains why planning is part of the reward, how reps build clarity under pressure, and why being uncomfortable on your own terms makes you stronger when life doesn't give you a choice. We also dig into hunting, conservation, public land, and freedom, cutting through surface-level arguments to talk about responsibility, balance, and why the tool is never the problem. The episode closes on what matters most: the next hunt, the footage, and the kind of experiences that stay with you forever.

This week Historians At The Movies goes Down Under to talk about 1986's Crocodile Dundee and we are doing it with the founders of Historians At The Movies: Australia: Chelsea Barnett and Joel Barnes. This movie is everything HATM was designed for: taking something fun and then pointing out everything we can take from it. This was a blast to record.About our guests:Dr Chelsea Barnett is a gender and cultural historian whose work explores the representation of masculinities in Australian popular culture, in order to understand the complex and varied ways in which masculinity has made sense in particular historical contexts. Under this broad research aim she engages with feminist and queer theory, the history of sex and sexuality, twentieth-century Australian history, and the history in and of popular culture.Chelsea is a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UTS, and is located in the Australian Centre for Public History. In her current project, she is exploring the cultural history of single men, focusing on how Australian film and magazines in the postwar world have represented and made sense of the relationship between men and the expectation of marriage. She is also the author of "Reel Men: Australian Masculinity at the Movies, 1949-1962" (Melbourne University Press, 2019). She has authored academic articles in leading journals including History Australia, Australian Historical Studies, and the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television. Chelsea is currently the ECR co-representative for the Australian Historical Association, and is the co-convenor of Historians at the Movies Australia (#HATMAus).Dr. Joel Barnes is a historian of the humanities, science, religion and universities. His present research examines the history of relations between evolutionary science and religious belief within Australian higher education, as part of the Science and Religion: Exploring the Spectrum project run by the International Research Network for the Study of Science and Belief in Society. Before joining the University of Queensland, Joel was a Research Associate in the Australian Centre for Public History at the University of Technology Sydney. His work at UTS was on an Australian Research Council-funded project on the history of humanities institutions in Australia since 1945, for which he is finalising a monograph on the humanities disciplines and the idea of the national interest.
In this episode, we go behind the scenes with legendary production designer Graham “Grace” Walker—the visual mastermind behind films like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, House of Wax, Pitch Black, and a long run on The Walking Dead.From his earliest art department credits on Caddie (1976) and Summerfield (1977) to his modern horror designs, Walker's career spans gritty, visceral worlds and cult classics alike.We unpack his work on The Walking Dead—eighty episodes of post-apocalyptic decay and must-see set transformation—and his stylized design vision in Baz Luhrmann's surreal Beyond Thunderdome and the waxy nightmares of House of Wax.But most thrillingly, we dive into Walker's memories of the famously chaotic 1996 production of The Island of Dr. Moreau, directed by Richard Stanley and later taken over by John Frankenheimer.Walker not only designed the sets, but appears briefly in the documentary Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau recounting the madness on set.Expect tales of:Building dense dystopias for The Walking Dead—how you make a world feel dead in every cornerCrafting the post-apocalyptic cityscape of Beyond Thunderdome and the visceral horror interiors of House of WaxSurviving the Moreau production nightmares: creature-heavy jungles, star clashes, and set takeoversHis early Australian cinema roots—including Dead Calm, Crocodile Dundee, and the early Mad Max filmsHow production design shapes storytelling in horror, sci‑fi, and genre filmsWhether you're interested in film design, horror history, or the infamous legend of Dr. Moreau, this conversation with Graham “Grace” Walker is a journey through some of cinema's wildest visual worlds.

Zo wants to go on an adventure in the Australian Outback, but in order to do it he'll need a guide. As a man of the urban spaces and city living he would consider it unwise in the least and ultimately a death wish to go about trooping into the wilds of Australia without a proper guide. Indeed, he's found one. A man whom the locals call "Mick". A man that Zo found to be charismatic, fun-loving, thrill seeking, and boisterous. This is a man who's more comfortable in the open wilderness then he ever would be within the four walls of civilized living. A charming fellow who introduces himself as Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee.
