Gallipoli (1981)

With Anzac Day just around the corner, Born to Watch honours a defining moment in Australian cinema with our Gallipoli (1981) Movie Review. Directed by Peter Weir and starring a young, raw Mel Gibson alongside Mark Lee, this film is more than a war story, it's a devastating portrait of friendship, sacrifice, and the tragic cost of blind patriotism. In this episode, Whitey and G-Man revisit the classic through a lens shaped by age, memory, and national identity.From the iconic opening scenes of sprinting through the outback to the haunting stillness of the battlefield at the Neck, Gallipoli strips away the glory of war and lays bare its cruel realities. The boys waste no time diving into the emotional core of the film, mateship. Whitey and G-Man see themselves in Frank and Archie, and they hilariously debate who's who. Is Whitey the cynical Frank, or is G-Man secretly more Archie than he'll admit?But it's not just about comparisons and callbacks to high school Anzac ceremonies. This is Born to Watch at its most reflective and reverent. The guys dig into the cultural significance of Gallipoli, how the film shaped their understanding of the Anzac legacy, and why it's essential viewing for every Australian. It's also a rare episode where the crew admits that this one is hard to joke about. Except, of course, when it comes to figuring out which of their mates is most like Snowy.They talk about how Gallipoli taught them what Anzac Day should mean. Not just a day off to play two-up and hit the pub, but a moment to remember real sacrifice. The 1981 film still hits hard, they argue, because it doesn't sugarcoat the futility of war. And when that final freeze frame lands, it guts you, every time.There's admiration for director Peter Weir, whose resume includes Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show, and Master and Commander. But here, he's in peak form. Gallipoli's scale is intimate but never small; its visuals are sweeping, yet grounded in the personal. And the music? That synth track when Archie sprints across the desert? Still gives the boys goosebumps.The episode gets personal, too. Both hosts recall trying (and failing) to get their teenage kids to watch the film. They revisit childhood memories of Anzac Day school assemblies, the eerie power of “Only 19” and “Waltzing Matilda,” and the VHS that left a permanent mark. G-Man shares stories from his own pilgrimage to Gallipoli, visiting Lone Pine and The Nek and seeing firsthand the terrain that made the battle a bloodbath.As always, there's room for laughs, the mystery of Mark Lee's post-Gallipoli career, and whether it's safe to train for battle with live rounds (spoiler: probably not). But the tone stays grounded, respectful, and proud.They wrap things up with “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” highlighting Gallipoli's haunting silence, its unwavering focus on mateship, and its place in Australian cinematic history. It's not just a war film; it's a rite of passage.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Does Gallipoli still define the Anzac spirit?Is this Mel Gibson's best early performance?Have you visited the battlefield yourself?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#Gallipoli1981 #BornToWatch #GallipoliMovieReview #AnzacDay #PeterWeir #MelGibson #AustralianCinema #WarMovies #MoviePodcast #LestWeForget

Grab your whip and avoid the monkey brains—this week on Born to Watch, the crew takes on the franchise's wildest, weirdest, and arguably most chaotic chapter, with their Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Review. Whitey, G-Man, and Damo dust off their fedoras and dive deep into the darker, more divisive entry in the iconic adventure trilogy.Released in 1984 as a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom was Spielberg and Lucas swinging for something different. What we got was a rollercoaster of tonal shifts, gruesome rituals, screeching sidekicks, and a whole lot of “did that really just happen?” moments. And the Born to Watch crew has a lot to say about it.Whitey opens the show by calling it what it is: a movie that's revered by many, but doesn't quite measure up to the gold standard set by Raiders. For kids of the '80s, it was a VHS staple. But for grown-up podcasters with opinions, it's a tale of two movies—one part rollercoaster fun, one part tonal mess. From the moment Harrison Ford steps off a plane in Shanghai to the heart-ripping Thuggie cult shenanigans in India, the guys unpack every whip crack, every scream, and every questionable creative choice.G-Man shares fond memories of collecting Indiana Jones memorabilia, like those glossy movie programs you'd snag at the cinema. But the nostalgia doesn't blind him—he's quick to call out the film's many plot holes, caricature characters, and some of the worst romantic chemistry in cinematic history. Damo agrees, rating the film a humble “three rewatches” compared to the endless love he has for Raiders. Ouch.And then there's Willie Scott, the club singer-turned-sidekick played by Kate Capshaw (and Spielberg's future wife). The team doesn't hold back on their verdict: screechy, underwritten, and possibly cinema's most annoying scream queen. Compared to Raiders' Marion Ravenwood, she's less “badass adventurer” and more “horny showgirl with a death wish.”But not everything is doom and gloom in Temple of Doom. The pod shines a spotlight on Short Round (Ke Huy Quan), the pint-sized sidekick who stole hearts, especially among the younger viewers. Isabelle, Whitey's daughter, gives him two thumbs up. G-Man draws comparisons to The Goonies and even Star Wars, noting that Lucas may have repurposed some beats from Empire and Return of the Jedi. The mine cart chase? Pure Endor energy. Harrison Ford's smug bedroom banter? Total Han Solo.In classic Born to Watch fashion, the boys rip into the absurdities: Why does Indy carry a full suit in his rucksack? Is a flaming skewer to the gut a valid weapon choice? And what kind of club plays “Anything Goes” on repeat, in both English and Mandarin? These are the real questions.The episode also digs into the bizarre dinner scene at Pankot Palace (chilled monkey brains, anyone?), the film's unexpected legacy in helping create the PG-13 rating, and whether George Lucas' fingerprints are a little too all over this one.And of course, they wrap up with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, featuring killer one-liners, Harrison Ford's bad punches, and enough sound effects to make you think you're in a Looney Tunes war zone. There's even a surprise cameo by Dan Aykroyd (yep, that actually happened) and a nostalgic tribute to Val Kilmer and Top Secret.By the end, one thing is clear: Temple of Doom is the middle child of the original Indiana Jones trilogy. Darker than Raiders, sillier than Last Crusade, and a cult classic in its own right. Whether it's a hit, a dud, or a chaotic blend of both, this episode is a wild ride from start to finish.

The Bodyguard (1992)

Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

This week, the team takes on one of the biggest cinematic phenomena of the early '90s: The Bodyguard (1992). A film that smashed box office records, made slow dancing cool again, and somehow convinced us that a love story between a moody security expert and a petulant pop diva was cinema gold. On paper, this had it all: the biggest male movie star in the world, Kevin Costner and the most powerful voice on the planet, Whitney Houston, in her film debut. But does that combo equal instant classic, or is it just a glittery dumpster fire covered in hit singles?Whitey dives headfirst into the spectacle with a hard truth: this movie takes itself way too seriously. We're talking Oscar-level intensity… for what is essentially a Lifetime movie with a better budget. Of course, there's reverence for Costner—because who doesn't love a bit of 1990s mullet-lite Kev, fresh off Robin Hood, JFK, and Dances with Wolves? But even the biggest Costner fans on the panel can't deny that Frank Farmer spends the entire film doing his best impression of an emotionally constipated mannequin.Meanwhile, G-Man marvels at the soundtrack that saved the film from mediocrity. From “I Have Nothing” to the megaton that is “I Will Always Love You,” Houston's vocals are nothing short of breathtaking—and in the end, her voice gives the film its emotional punch. Damo finds himself emotionally moved by the final scene, where the music hits and we remember just how incredible Whitney was. Unfortunately, her performance as Rachel Marron doesn't land quite as well with the crew. Plot holes? Yep, we got ‘em. From inexplicable security failures (three guards for the world's biggest star?) to the mind-boggling moment where a would-be assassin uses a sniper rifle in a room full of Hollywood elites, the film is more Swiss cheese than suspense thriller. Not to mention the infamous scarf-on-the-sword scene, which leads the team to ponder whether a katana counts as foreplay and why no one, ever, draws a curtain in this movie.But The Bodyguard (1992) isn't without its joys. There's the epic needle drops, a lakeside cabin that Damo would happily disappear to forever, and a cast of cartoonishly awful background characters that you're almost rooting for the stalker. The guys also take a detour through Costner's post-Bodyguard career trajectory, which includes Waterworld, The Postman, and the underrated Draft Day.G-Man delivers his signature deep-dive into cast trivia, highlighting everything from Whitney's early gospel roots to her connection with Dionne Warwick, and even a surprise one-degree link to Kurt Russell via the late great Bill Cobbs. There's a healthy debate about whether The Bodyguard was a real movie or just a high-gloss showcase for a chart-topping soundtrack, and somehow, they still manage to rope in Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style, Inspector Gadget, and the concept of "vabbing" (yep, it's a thing now).Of course, no episode is complete without the Born to Watch signature segments. The boys dish up their Good, the Bad, and the Ugly—from the iconic knife throw scene and amazing set design, to the complete lack of chemistry between the leads and questionable career choices made by everyone involved. Gage Roads supplies the brews, and Johnny Bull returns with a zinger straight outta Aliens. Oh, and Work Experience Kid cops some heat for trying to bring up brassieres in the Snob's Report. Rookie move.So, was The Bodyguard (1992) a misunderstood masterpiece, or a pop-cultural relic best left in the '90s CD rack? There's only one way to find out. Plug in, turn up the volume, and get ready for the most musically dramatic episode Born to Watch has ever done.
