For decades, Australia treated video games differently.Titles were banned. Content was refused classification. Games were edited, delayed, or never released at all. For years, we didn't even have an R18+ category for games — meaning adult players were restricted by a system built for something else entirely.In this episode, we trace the history of video game censorship in Australia — from early classification battles to moral panics, high-profile bans, and the eventual fight for an R rating. What was actually being censored? Who decided? And why were games singled out?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

CW: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault and violence, including abuse of minors, in relation to recent revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Listener discretion advised.   Some Big News Weeks led us to a slightly unwieldy conversation about several topics alongside Joel Schumacher's 1999 thriller 8mm. Written by Se7en scribe Andrew Keving Walker and boasting a rich ensemble cast including Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, Catherine Keener, James Gandolfini, and Peter Stormare, the film explores elite depravity, snuff films, and the dark core of the American dream where desperate people's lives become a commodity. We first begin with some thoughts on recent events at the Berlin Film Festival and offer our definitive answer to the question on everyone's lips, "Is cinema political?" Then, we venture into Schumacher's film, a not-very-good grisly crime thriller with some resonant considerations about the brutalization of young women within the machinery of capital. Finally, we share some personal thoughts on the most recent releases from the Epstein Files, what they tell us about the nature of power in the world, and offer up an alternative movie title for those thinking more deeply about the case's reverberations. Get access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

We break down the Hong Kong cinema influences Hollywood never credited, the Dark City and Invisibles connections, what Keanu Reeves actually brings to Neo, and whether the Wachowskis wrote a cyberpunk masterpiece or got carried by everyone around them.   Plus: our 10-point rating and the one scene that still divides the room.   Ready to stop paying more than you have to?

For decades, Australian audiences were told what they could and couldn't watch — often with scissors, black ink, and outright bans. From silent films and imported reels to grindhouse classics and modern cinema, Australia developed a reputation as one of the most restrictive film-censoring countries in the Western world.Join Holly & Matthew as they trace the history of Australian film censorship, from early morality laws and customs seizures to the creation of classification boards and the long fight over violence, sex, and “community standards”. Along the way, we'll examine infamous bans, bizarre edits, and the cultural anxieties that shaped what Australians were allowed to see on screen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

Was The Matrix the first film to ask whether our reality is manufactured? No! There are huge parallels between Dark City and The Matrix, with both films using some of the same themes, visuals, and even sets. In this episode of Four Play, we dive into Dark City (1998): Alex Proyas' noir-drenched sci-fi cult classic that arrived one year before The Matrix and explored memory, identity, and control in ways that still feel unsettlingly modern. Is Dark City just a forgotten cyberpunk curiosity or is it one of the most important science fiction films of the 1990s?

Concluding Issue 69 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd. This is a Spotlight on the supreme cinema stylist Michael Mann, and returning guest Calum from the Screen 1 Film Podcast helps us break down his unique filmmaking. We take a  close look at the indisputed classic heist epic Heat from 1995, and the much more disputed but endlessly fascinating 2006 reboot of Miami Vice. The other three parts of Issue 69 are available to download now, and Issue 70 will be along on February 25th.

What happens when you take the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight… and turn it into an 80s fantasy fever dream starring a glitter-covered Sean Connery? In this episode of Nerd Legion, we dive into Sword of the Valiant (1984): one of the strangest fantasy adaptations ever made. Featuring Miles O'Keeffe, Peter Cushing, John Rhys-Davies, and Ronald Lacey, this stacked cast somehow delivers one of the most unintentionally hilarious medieval movies of the decade. From animatronic severed heads… to magical invisibility rings… to unicorn-eating knights… to the worst synth soundtrack we've ever heard.  This movie has everything except a coherent moral. Is it terrible? Absolutely.Is it entertaining? Without question. Let's talk glitter armor, bad fight choreography, Arthurian lore, and why Sean Connery keeps taking fantasy roles he “doesn't understand.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send a textA truck driver who can't stop asking questions, a friend who does the real fighting, and a sorcerer who waited 2,000 years for green eyes—there's a reason Big Trouble in Little China refuses to fade. We dive straight into why this cult classic still sparks debate: the self-aware camp, the electric synths, the rain-soaked neon, and the audacity of casting a swaggering, lovable bumbler as your poster hero.We break down Kurt Russell's Jack Burton as a brilliant misdirect—loud, lost, but weirdly brave—while Wang carries the narrative weight and the martial arts grace. That inversion lets John Carpenter poke holes in the American hero myth without losing the popcorn thrills. From practical monsters and the iconic knife throw to uneven but ambitious fight staging, we pull apart the craft that makes the movie sing. And yes, we talk about the moments that age poorly—forced flirtations, accented English used among Chinese characters—and how the satire lands alongside the stereotypes.Carpenter's fingerprints are everywhere: the synth-driven score that snaps scenes into focus, the pulpy color palette that turns Chinatown into a fever dream, and the long partnership with Russell that keeps risk-taking fun. We trace cultural ripples into 90s pop culture, Mortal Kombat parallels, and why this film bombed before becoming midnight-movie royalty. Two of us call it pure five-star joy; one of us gives it a thoughtful seven, intrigued enough to chase The Thing next. Whether you rewatch for the set design, the one-liners, or that thunder-lit ceiling shot, there's big charm in this little slice of cinematic chaos.Hit play, ride with the Pork Chop Express, and tell us: is Jack Burton a hero, a decoy, or the perfect mix of both?

In this episode of ClassHorrorCast, we dive deep into Together (2025) - one of the most unsettling relationship horror films of the year.From its visceral practical effects and shocking moments of gore to its suffocating atmosphere and uncomfortable intimacy, we break down the scenes that hit hardest and why they work.This is a full spoiler discussion. But beyond the body horror, Together asks a more disturbing question: what does it really mean to spend your life with someone?At what point does partnership become possession? When does “us” begin to erase “me”? We explore the film's central themes of identity, co-dependence, emotional fusion, and the fear of losing yourself inside a relationship.Is this a love story twisted into horror or was it always horror to begin with?We also dig into behind-the-scenes trivia, the creative choices behind the film's effects, and whether Together ultimately succeeds in what it sets out to do.Join us as we unpack one of 2025's most uncomfortable cinematic experiences.For more content - CLICK HEREBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

Send us a textThis week on Movies Worth Seeing, we crank the dial back to peak '80s insanity with The Running Man — and honestly, this movie rules.What looks like a dumb, muscle-bound action flick is actually a viciously funny, cynical satire wrapped in neon spandex and one-liners. Game shows, fake news, manufactured villains, and entertainment built on public humiliation — somehow this film feels more relevant now than it did in 1987.We break down:Why this is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's most underrated rolesHow the movie balances brutal action with sharp social commentaryThe outrageous villains, practical effects, and iconic killsJesse Ventura, Richard Dawson, and a supporting cast having an absolute blastAnd why The Running Man is pure rewatchable fun that still hits todayIt's loud, ridiculous, politically incorrect, and unapologetically entertaining — exactly what great '80s cinema should be.

Send us a textOn this episode of Movies Worth Seeing, we take on One Battle After Another — and fair warning, this one did not survive the review.We went in open-minded, ready to meet the film where it was… but what we got was a bloated, self-serious experience that mistakes noise for meaning and ambition for depth. Instead of tension, momentum, or emotional payoff, the film delivers repetition, confusion, and a whole lot of wheel-spinning.In this episode, we break down:Why the movie feels exhausting rather than grippingHow “important” themes are hinted at but never exploredThe lack of payoff after all that buildupWhere the storytelling completely loses the audienceAnd why ambition alone doesn't make a movie worth your timeThis isn't a hate-watch for the sake of it — it's an honest conversation about why some films just don't work, no matter how hard they try to look meaningful.

Send us a textTwo of us walk out emotionally numb from The Running Man remake after a marathon of twists, a muddled motive, and a game with broken rules. We compare it to the 1987 original to show how tone, stakes, and satire were stripped away while talent was wasted.• why changing Ben Richards' motive breaks the story• tone clash between campy 80s satire and modern grit• hunters with no identity versus iconic stalkers• villain split that dilutes menace and focus• worldbuilding that expands scope but kills logic• media manipulation then and now, without the sting• rule changes that patch holes instead of creating tension• wasted performances from a strong cast• why simple, bounded game design creates better stakes• final ratings and what remakes should keepPlease give us a like, share, and subscribe for more reviews like this Support the show

Send us a textThis week on Movies Worth Seeing, we go back to the jungle for one of the most rewatchable action films of all time: Predator.What starts as a macho '80s commando fantasy slowly mutates into a razor-sharp sci-fi survival horror — and that's exactly why Predator still slaps nearly 40 years later. We break down how the film cleverly subverts the invincible action-hero trope, why the ensemble cast is stacked with pure testosterone, and how the Predator itself became one of cinema's most iconic monsters.We also dig into:Why the first half feels like a different movie (on purpose)Arnold Schwarzenegger's quiet evolution from gun-blazing leader to hunted survivorThe brilliance of the creature design, sound design, and jungle settingIconic lines, scenes, and memes that refuse to dieAnd whether Predator is secretly smarter than it ever gets credit forIf you love practical effects, quotable dialogue, and films that reward repeat viewings, this one absolutely earns its place on the list.

Julian, Madeline, and Emilio continue their cycle of Oscar-Worthy Rom-Coms with a Suggestion Box episode focusing on "The Apartment," Billy Wilder's unforgettable multi-Oscar-winning film from 1960. The trio dig into this classic tale of work-related romance by discussing its iconic performances from Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray, the dynamics of the love triangle it portrays, and how the film's transgressive qualities stand the test of time. Anchoring the conversation are a slew of favorable comparisons to other films, new and old, along with appreciations of film's fine-tuned aesthetic details and a tally of a word Wilder and co-writer I.A.L. Diamond clearly relished in, suffix-wise...If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch is not an adaptation: it's a psychological autopsy. In this episode of Four Play, we dive deep into one of the most challenging films ever released by a major director: Cronenberg's surreal, disturbing, and deeply personal interpretation of William S. Burroughs' life and work. Rather than translating Burroughs' famously “unfilmable” novel to the screen, Naked Lunch fuses biography, addiction, sexuality, guilt, and creativity into a dream-logic nightmare that feels closer to a hallucination than a movie. Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with Mando and get 20% off + free shipping with promo code FOURPLAY at https://shopmando.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In dieser Folge sprechen wir über den legendären Film Matrix und fragen uns: Was ist eigentlich Realität? Nach unserem gemeinsamen Kinoabend diskutieren wir, warum der Klassiker auch heute noch aktuell ist, wie Künstliche Intelligenz unsere Welt beeinflusst und was es mit der berühmten roten und blauen Pille auf sich hat. Wir teilen unsere Lieblingsszenen, philosophieren über Wahrheit und Illusion und ziehen Parallelen zu unserem Alltag. Außerdem beantworten wir spannende Hörerfragen und greifen eure Kommentare auf. Hört rein, wenn ihr wissen wollt, warum Matrix mehr als nur Science-Fiction ist – und ob ihr die rote oder die blaue Pille wählen würdet.

Few video game adaptations truly understand the source material — Silent Hill (2006) is one of the rare exceptions.This week on ClassHorrorCast, we descend into the fog to explore why Christophe Gans' Silent Hill has not only endured, but evolved into the gold standard for video game horror adaptations.We break down the film's deep lore, hidden meanings, and symbolic imagery, unpacking how the movie translates the unsettling psychology and atmosphere of the games to the big screen.We dig into the film's pre-production, the writing process, and the major creative choices that reshaped the games' narrative for cinema including what was changed, what was preserved, and why those decisions ultimately worked.From its commitment to practical effects and creature design to its oppressive soundscape and world-building, we examine how Silent Hill achieved an authenticity most adaptations never attempt. Finally, we discuss why the film has aged so well, how its reputation has grown over time, and why it continues to be cited as the strongest argument for the greatest video game adaptation of all time.Turn up the volume. The siren is calling.For more content - CLICK HEREBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

THE GREEN KNIGHT (2021) is often described as abstract, slow, or confusing, but those labels miss what the film is actually doing. Directed by David Lowery, this Arthurian adaptation isn't a puzzle to be solved, but a moral fable about avoidance and the cost of refusing to grow up. In this episode of Four Play, Richard Lewis, MonteCristo, and Thorin break down why The Green Knight is less concerned with symbolism and mythology than it is with character. Gawain's journey isn't about heroism, it's about procrastination, self-deception, and the terrifying moment when excuses run out.   Rather than presenting a traditional fantasy quest, the film strips the genre down to its emotional core. Each encounter tests Gawain not with strength or cleverness, but with honesty and courage, which are virtues he repeatedly fails to embody until the moment that finally matters. Raycon's Essential Open Earbuds are here to help you crush your new year goals!

This week, we're discussing the winner of our latest Patreon poll, Senegalese auteur Djibril Diop Mambéty's Hyenas. Adapting Swiss-German playwright Friedrich Dürrenmatt's 1956 satirical tragicomedy The Visit and transposing its story onto post-colonial Senegal, the film tells the story of Dramaan Drameh, a grocer in the poor town of Colobane, whose life is upended when a former flame, Linguère Ramatou, returns to the town after decades. Having amassed a large fortune in the intervening years, Ramatou makes the township a disquieting offer - she will bestow her fortune onto Colobane in exchange for the murder of Drameh as revenge for abandoning her following a pregnancy during their brief love affair. Gorgeously-lensed, blackly satirical, and ultimately tragic, Hyenas imbues its tense tale of vengenace and greed with resonances examining Senagal's (and the greater continet of Africa's) subjugation under western capitalism in the post-colonial period. We begin with a discussion of Senegal's cinema, its anti-colonial dimensions, and how the rhythms of Mambéty's film antagonize western modes of narrative and filmmaking. Then, we examine the film's exploration of the corrupting nature of capital, and how forces like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank acted as coercive mechanisms for privatization and neoliberal policy in Africa and throughout the developing world. Finally, we discuss the film's sexual politics, where we feel its metaphors break down in its exploration of the character of Ramatou, and where fidelity to source material occasionally muddles the film's incisive colonial critique.

Forth Eorlingas! This week we toss Gimli face first into the forces of the Enemy. It's another four hour tour of Middle Earth, and this time, we brought Ents.Is the middle film of a trilogy ever the best one? In this case, the jury's out, but one thing is for certain: it has the weirdest title of all three.Topics explored this week include: Legolas's whole deal, the groundbreaking creation of Sméagol, Merry and Pippin blazin' it with Treebeard, Helm's Deep, Helm's Deep, and a LOT more Helm's Deep.Next week, we complete the holy trinity with RETURN OF THE KING (2003), and then we promise we'll never talk about Rings again (just kidding, the Ring has corrupted us and there's no turning back now).

THE FOUNTAIN (2006) is one of the most ambitious, polarizing, and misunderstood films of the 21st century. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the film weaves together three timelines: a conquistador's quest for eternal life, a modern scientist racing against death, and a cosmic traveler drifting toward transcendence, which all bound by love, grief, and humanity's refusal to accept mortality.  Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/FOURPLAY and use code FOURPLAY and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!  Raycon's Essential Open Earbuds are here to help you crush your new year goals!
