Podcast appearances and mentions of David Stratton

It's West Coast meets East Coast film fandom on this bonus Movie Squad pod, as Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo are joined by Alexei Toliopoulos and Zachary Ruane to discuss their brand new comedy show Refused Classification. Zach is well known for being one leg of the Aunty Donna tripod, and Alexei is the host of The Last Video Store podcast, but from here on out, they may be best recognised as the alternate timeline version of beloved Aussie critics David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz, whom they play in Refused Classification. Their show (a fusion of stand-up, documentary, protest and audacious verbatim theatre) sees Alexei and Zach relaying (and replaying) Margaret's iconic stoush against the authorities as she attempted to screen the banned film Ken Park in 2003. Tristan and Simon caught up with Alexei and Zach during their sold-out run of shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and ahead of them bringing Refused Classification to Boorloo for the Perth Comedy Festival, playing The Rechabite on Friday 9 May. (There are also limited tix available for their Melbourne run, thanks to some newly added shows!) Movie Squad's on-air segment is on a brief hiatus but keep tuning in to RTRFM and join the Blockbuster Babes for their triumphant return on Friday 2 May at 7:30am with Breakfast host Pam Boland. You can always play catch-up with past episodes of the podcast here.

For decades, David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz were Australian film reviewing royalty, having built up a loyal following with their weekly show on SBS, The Movie Show. The 90s and early 00s was the peak of David & Margaret's influence over Australian audiences. What they recommended, people would head out and go and see.Both David and Margaret are staunch supporters of cinema, becoming advocates for all kinds of cinema and decrying the impacts of censorship. While both have played roles in the way that film censorship in Australia has impacted what we see, it's Margaret's role with the notorious Larry Clarke film, Ken Park, which saw her make headlines after she put on an ‘illegal' screening of the film after it received a ‘Refused Classification' status, aka, the film being banned from Australia.That pivotal moment in Australian film criticism history is what sits at the heart of Zachary Ruane and Alexei Toliopoulos' comedy show Refused Classification, which is currently making its way around Australian comedy festivals, having recently played at the Adelaide Fringe, with shows to be held in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth on the horizon.The show sees Zachary don a salt and pepper wig as David, while Alexei somehow manages to imbue himself with the spirit of Margaret Pomeranz with her trademark golden locks. Together, they retell this point in Aussie cinema history through the form of comedy show, documentary and verbatim theatre.In the following interview, Zachary and Alexei talk about how the show came about, their experiences watching Ken Park, how Simon Miraudo's brilliant Book of the Banned (buy it here) helped inform the show, and Alexei goes deep on his personal connection with the At the Movies board game.I should add too, if you're interested in reading the transcripts of David and Margaret's work on both The Movie Show and At the Movies, then check out this Letterboxd account which has logged all of them over the years. And keep in mind that the shows are all available on SBS On Demand too, if you want that real nostalgia trip.To keep up to date on where the show is playing, make sure to follow both Zachary and Alexei on Instagram.We are a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

If you have a fear of getting swooped by magpies, mobbed by seagulls or blinded by crows, perhaps Alfred Hitchcock is to blame.His 1963 horror classic The Birds created a generation of ornithophobes, and played on our fears of death by feathered fiend.

Before he retired last year, David Stratton spent nearly six decades reviewing movies. And millions of Australians came to know and love him thanks to an on-air partnership with fellow critic Margaret Pomeranz, which turned them into household names and one of the most beloved double acts in the country.  On the show today, David joins Sarrah from his home – where he is still watching one, and often two, movies each day – to discuss his latest project, a book that chronicles three pivotal decades in Australian film; his enduring friendship with Margaret; his thoughts on some of his most infamous reviews – including an initially lukewarm reaction to comedy classic The Castle, and another that landed him in hot water with Julie Andrews - and the one film he thought was so awful he walked out of the cinema. David Stratton's new book Australia At The Movies is available to purchase here. Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by Editor-In-Chief Sarrah Le Marquand.

Regular readers of The Curb will know that I have a particular soft spot for the work of Sally Aitken. Through her expansive filmography that tells stories that span the globe, from David Stratton, to Valerie Taylor, to The Wiggles, and now to Every Little Thing, a film about Terry, a wildlife carer in California who runs a rehab facility for hummingbirds, Sally has managed to provide a generous, kind, and considerate perspective of the world and how we interact with it.Every Little Thing is a sonic and visual delight of a film that wonders the senses with cinematography that fully immerses us in the world of the hummingbird, all the while presenting the dedication and care that Terry Masear gives to these tiny, fragile creatures who flit about the world, acting as harmonious pollinators who enrich the ever-increasingly human dominated nature that they live within.I've seen plenty of films about animals being cared for, or about the communities that spring up in a fight for animal activism, and yet, I've never really seen a film like Every Little Thing. In the following interview, you'll hear me talk to Sally about why I feel this is a purely unique film, one that manages to present the role of an animal carer in a deeply compassionate and understandable way. I'm in awe of the majesty on display here, and while I've always loved Sally's work, I feel that Every Little Thing is yet another grand step forward in her role as a humanistic filmmaker.Every Little Thing screens at the Adelaide Film Festival on Thursday 24 October, and again on 2 November. Sally will be in attendance on 24 October and will attend a panel on documentary filmmaking on Friday the 25th of October. Visit AdelaideFilmFestival.org for more details. Hosted on Acast.

Film critic, writer and Movie Squad member, Simon Miraudo takes on the dark side of Australia's film censorship in the Book of the Banned. Did you know Aussie audiences were originally banned from watching bonafide classics The Night of the Hunter, Breathless and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, or that Australians initially saw a watered-down version of Star Wars in cinemas? Book of the Banned is a rigorous, rollicking, riotous and righteously-furious jaunt through film history that reveals the shocking stories behind Australia's classification system and how your favourite movies have been snipped down under, featuring interviews with Margaret Pomeranz, David Stratton, a bunch of ‘banned' filmmakers and even their censors. RTRFM's own Simon Miraudo joins Bec Bowman on Artbeat to discuss Book of the Banned. Book of The Banned

Now, exactly ten years later, the creators are back with their most exciting project yet: a press release. But it's a press release that's promoting their next thing, The Bazura Project's Radio Free Cinema.As many will doubtless recall, The Bazura Project's Radio Free Cinema was a huge hit, broadcast on an unspecified radio station an indeterminate number of years ago. Now, the recordings that everyone had believed (and hoped) were lost forever have been uncovered, digitised, cleaned up, edited for slander, and are now ready to be released on a podcast platform where they can be heard again… for the first time.Over six thrilling and definitely factual instalments, The Bazura Project's Radio Free Cinema will explore every possible aspect of the film world, including:interviews with the film industry's best and brightest, including: Aussie soap star-turned-Hollywood headliner, Amelia Bell-Jarman; the Oscar-winning producer of some of cinema's least challenging mid-brow works, Catarina Rice; achingly-dull minimalist Hungarian film composer Máté Lantos; and studio janitor from Hollywood's golden age, Jerry Schutzexclusive first-listen trailers for the most exciting new high-concept thrillers, low-concept romantic comedies, poorly-conceived fantasy adventures, crowd-placating dramas, and overstimulating kids' filmsoriginal songs from your favourite soundtracks and never-before-heard music from your least-favourite unreleased moviesdispatches from all around the world, including: an exclusive Sundance Film Festival premiere after-party; the world's greatest voice coaching academy on an island in the Baltic Sea; and a glamorous and exceedingly-morbid awards ceremony in the heart of Alaskaplus much, much more“It was always our plan to air six poorly-rated episodes on the endlessly-rebranded ABC2, disappear into obscurity for a decade, and then return with a six-episode podcast that wouldn't make us any money,” says co-creator and co-presenter Lee Zachariah.“The presently-oversaturated market of podcasts presented us with the perfect opportunity to release our own,” says co-creator and co-presenter Shannon Marinko. “If you manage to find it, and enjoy it, it's probably someone else's.”The show will feature an overstuffed cast that includes Tom Ballard, Rusty Berther, Kristy Best, Robyn Butler, Rhonda Burchmore, Santo Cilauro, Marc Fennell, Tim Ferguson, Abe Forsythe, Bob Franklin, Francis Greenslade, Tosh Greenslade, Roz Hammond, Stephen Hall, Andrew Hansen, Peter Helliar, Tegan Higginbotham, Ming-Zhu Hii, Adam Hills, Claire Hooper, Wayne Hope, Dan Ilic, Laura Hughes, Mark Humphries, Nazeem Hussain, Ed Kavalee, Christopher Kirby, Colin Lane, Tommy Little, Cassandra Magrath, Tony Martin, Shaun Micallef, Rhys Muldoon, Brian Nankervis, Celia Pacquola, Geraldine Quinn, Ben Russell, John Safran, Kat Stewart, Emily Taheny, Chris Taylor, Dave Thornton, Toby Truslove, Michael Veitch, Cal Wilson, and many, many more.The six-part series begins on October 5 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Radio Public, or directly via our website: bazuraproject.com/radiofreecinemaThe trailer is available to hear now via this link.The Bazura Project began its life on community television in 2006, running for 36 episodes across three seasons on Channel 31 Melbourne, TVS Sydney, 31 Brisbane, and C31 Adelaide.

In a non-reactive bowl or container, dissolve the salt and sugar in 1.5litres (6 cups) of water and immerse the salmon. Cover and leave in the fridge to cure for 4 hours or overnight. Soak the smoking chips in water for the same amount of time. Remove the salmon from the brine and place on a rack and set over a baking tray. Return to the fridge to dry overnight - the drier it gets, the better. Drain the wood chips and put them in a foil tray (you can make one by scrunching up the sides of a large sheet of foil). Fire up your barbecue, igniting the grill but leaving the flatplate part switched off. Place your foil container of smoking chips over the heat. Once it starts to smoke (about 10 minutes) place the tray of salmon on the flatplate part (or grill) of the barbecue and close the lid, trapping the smoke and heat inside. Smoke the salmon for about 20 minutes, or until a knife pierced into the flesh reveals that the salmon is cooked, but still moist in the middle. Remove and leave to cool to room temperature Pea Green Salad Olive oil for cooking 4 zucchini cut lengthwise into 5mm slices 20 asparagus spears (woody ends snapped off) 500g green beans, topped and tailed 1 head of broccoli, sliced into 1cm wide florets 200g sugar snap peas, trimmed 200g frozen peas 200g pea shoots Dressing 200g frozen peas, thawed 125g (1/2 cup sour cream) 130 g (1/2 cup of Greek style yoghurt) 60g (1/4 cup) good-quality mayonnaise 1 tablespoon horseradish cream sauce 1 tablespoon finely chopped preserved lemon rind Large handful of dill fronds 4 spring onions, thinly sliced into rounds Juice of ½ lemon Dash of milk to thin, if necessary   For the pea-green salad, lightly oil the zucchini slices and asparagus spears. Sear the vegetables on the barbecue (or on a chargrill pan over medium-high heat) until they are just tender. Remove and refrigerate. Next steam or boil the green beans and broccoli for about 4 minutes, adding sugar snap peas and frozen peas for the final minute. Blanch them all in cold water and drain, then refrigerate. For the dressing, just use a blender to blitz all of the ingredients until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper as required. Once all the greens are ready, gently toss them all together with the pea shoots, then tip out onto a huge shallow serving platter (use two if you have smaller ones). Flake over the salmon in big chunks. Zigzag the dressing over the top and you’re good to go. NB – you can purchase pre prepared hot smoked salmon from the supermarket.

Step inside the Venice International Film Festival as we discover how the prestigious Golden Lion is awarded with the help of jury member David Stratton and, from the Horizons section, Mark Cousins. Plus: a review of the other festival winners and a look back at classic thriller ‘Don’t Look Now’.

This is an episode which has crawled out of our very shallow archives. It was supposed to be released earlier this year to coincide with the cinematic release of David Stratton's documentary David Stratton: A Cinematic Life, but instead just didn't get released! So here it is in all its average audio glory. This interview was aptly recorded in the foyer of the great Windsor Cinema here in Perth, Western Australia, and alongside the background noises, David was under the weather on the day of the interview. None the less, I feel it's an interesting enough interview (even if my nerves of interviewing an idol come through a little bit too much). The rest of the episode is the Q&A which took place after the screening with local film reviewer Mark Naglazas and David Stratton. Again, the audio isn't the best, but it's still worth listening to if you can. David Stratton's Stories of Australian Cinema is playing on ABC iView right now, so make sure to check that out alongside the many Australian films on there before they disappear. When they do disappear, make sure to head over to Ozflix.tv to rent old and new Australian films. Become a Patron! Follow us on twitter at ABFilmReview, Facebook at ABFilmReview.

Ed Kavalee and his TEAM of experts want to help you become a better person.  This week features Ash Williams, Tony Martin and Lachy Hulme covering topics as diverse as how to get a business degree in under 50 minutes, why David Stratton hates comedy and the meaning of the word 'vestibule' and why that word plays a key role in the JFK Assassination.  All will be revealed in 43 minutes and 45 seconds of madness that is The TEAM Effort.   

After a string of failed reboots and remakes Paramount Pictures has a new CEO. But while March’s box-office returns hit a billion-dollar all-time record, some studio bosses are questioning whether audience appetites for franchise films are fading. We assess the evidence. Plus: a lesson in film criticism from David Stratton and a tribute to no one’s favourite superhero, Condorman.

David Stratton is a pioneer in both critiquing films, and Australian films themselves. If you ever want to be a critic, you should take a good look at some of Stratton’s reviews, as they emphasis what is important about filmmaking, and how to perfectly break it down, dissect it, and give a professional opinion. David Stratton: A Cinematic Life, reveals a lot more about the man behind a critical perspective than you would ever imagine. However, it also reveals things that you could assume and gather from him, as a bit of Stratton is in every one of his reviews which have been in Variety, The Movie Show and At The Movies. Directed by Sally Aitken, the documentary does more than just explore David Stratton’s fascinating life; it gives a wonderful homage to Australian cinema, and how far its come over the years. The documentary is wonderfully broken down by certain Australian films, and how the both impact and reflect Stratton’s life. I feel bad saying that the majority of films on screen that are shown are one’s that I haven’t seen before, and I’m not alone in this. A lot of the crowd murmured at moments when a new or unknown film came up, but the best part about this is that we all have gained something new to watch once we get out of the theatre. The documentary does give a bit of a jumbled and out of order description of Stratton’s life, and it does occasionally become a bit confusing to follow. Some of the relations to films and how Stratton’s life was impacted by them do come across as a bit of a stretch to, however there always needs to be a bit of disbelief in films like these. In addition to seeing the film, we were treated to a live q&a with the man himself afterwards. Stratton expanded upon his experiences reviewing films, and creating the documentary, such as how he went about writing his narration for the film (he edited the director written speeches when he thought they weren’t good enough) and how the director hadn’t seen any Australian films, nor had she heard of Stratton himself. Following this, questions for the crowd were allowed, and surprisingly I had one up my sleeve which i pleasantly got to ask first. It was quite nice for the crowd to laugh at my question, “will you be reviewing this film?”, but nicer that Stratton joked along, telling us that he’d leave it up to other reviewers to break the film down, but judging by our response, we liked it. Or, that he hoped we had liked it. Going into the film, I didn’t assume I would enjoy it a great deal. It’s not because the film is about David Stratton himself, more because I didn’t think it would be possible to make a documentary about a critic interesting. That is what David Stratton: A Cinematic Life, does best however. It’s a surprise, a pleasant surprise, one that you don’t get to be rewarded with much nowadays. Stratton is a highly interesting, and singular man, however there's also, and it sounds funny saying it, a bit of David Stratton in all of us. We are all critical of something, be it film, music or life. We are critical because we love what it is about, we are critical because we’re seeking the best of the best, to interact with anything we can, to engage and dissect and talk about why we love it or why we can’t stand it. David Stratton resonates the critic in the everyday person, and it's a glorious moment to see him rewarded with a perfectly fitting documentary which captures the films that he loves, and how they have shaped the man that he is today.

Angus Sampson swallows condoms full of heroin, David Stratton trades fluids with various notable directors, and Tim has a thing for Hugo Weaving’s cane. Our second episode is film criticism at its peak something-or-other.The Mule (2014, Tony Mahony, Angus Sampson)We swallow our pride, among other things, to review this new Australian black comedy. The gags make Anna gag, while Tim questions the distinctiveness of Hugo Weaving’s moustache. In the end, everybody enjoys a nice dump. (Not recorded.)A Field In England (2013, Ben Wheatley)Weird druggo alchemical 17th century craziness, courtesy of the director of Kill List, Sightseers, and, er, Doctor Who.Proof (1991, Jocelyn Moorhouse)The regular Russell Crowe portion of the show takes in this early 90s gem. Hugo Weaving gets blind, Russell gets his ‘tocks out, and Genevieve Picot is as cold as ice, and is, if reports are to be believed, willing to sacrifice our love.
