It's Oscars season so we're off to the movies. Welcome to the first in a new mini-series where we explore Booker Prize novels whose silver screen adaptations went on to experience Oscar glory.

We're alllllmost there at the end of the year but before we dish out our favourites we have to at least have another round up. From dirt bike base jumping to laser evading butt appreciation here's what we've been enjoying recently. There's a few big heavy hitters on the pod this episode with Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 (2023), Entrapment (1999), Ambulance (2023), The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978), The Killer (2023), The Creator (2023) and Black Dynamite (2009).
The tradition continues! Patrick Ripoll joins Kerry and Collin once again to look beneath the early-'90s, direct-to-video sheen and plunge into the most disturbing of depths to dissect "Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation," quite possibly the most disgusting movie ever covered on this show (and yes, we did cover that Kirk Cameron movie). Is it wrong to bring stemware to a picnic? If Clint Howard isn't playing Ricky from the first three films, which Ricky is he playing? Can a male director make a "feminist parable" while his lead actress spends much of the movie gratuitously naked and covered in slime? So many questions, plus Kerry talks about three movies from the book "1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." Book movies covered: "Frenzy" (1972) "The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith" (1978) "Nosferatu" (1922)
Chaired by Angela Savage For over fifty years, Tom Keneally has been writing about everything that makes us tick – and the contentious, disputed land that is ‘Australia'. In his new collection of thought-pieces, he moves seamlessly between deep questions of our past and moments of private revelation. A Bloody Good Rant is exactly what it says it is – a bit of ratbaggery, some judicious hindsight, and a generous serve of wisdom. The author of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Schindler's Ark and Corporal Hitler's Pistol gets a few things off his chest.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised that this podcast episode contains the names of people who have died. Thomas Keneally reflects on The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith in conversation with his long-time friend, Stan Grant. Thomas' 1972 Booker Prize–nominated story of a black man's revenge against an unjust society, The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, was a formative novel for Stan, helping the young reporter recognise the contradictions at the heart of our national identity. Stan has written the latest instalment of the Writers on Writers series on Thomas. The two continue a long-running conversation about their body of work and friendship, and this land's history, stories and peoples. Please note, this episode contains references to topics such as the Stolen Generations and abuse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Episode 37 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Fred Schepisi. One of all time great filmmakers. Fred Schepisi steered Meryl Streep to an Oscar nomination for A Cry In The Dark, so too for Stockard Channing in Six Degrees of Separation. In fact, the worlds finest actors have been clamouring to work with Fred for 45 years; Helen Mirren. Donald Sutherland. Kirk Douglas. Michael Douglas. Will Smith. Meg Ryan. Michael Caine. Geoffrey Rush. Sir John Gielgud. Ian McLennan. Ray Winston. John Cleese. Jamie Lee Curtis. Kevin Cline. Tim Robbins, and the list goes on. Fred started out in the advertising world in Melbourne, directing both commercials and documentaries. His first feature-length movie was the semi-autobiographical The Devil’s Playground which won 6 AFI awards including Best Film. The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith , in 1978, won a few more AFI awards and was nominated for Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Fred then began working internationally, highlights include; Plenty (again with Meryl Streep), Roxanne (starring Steve Martin & Darryl Hannah) The Russia House (with Sean Connery & Michelle Pfeiffer), Last Orders, Eye of the Storm, and Words & Pictures starring Juliette Binoche & Clive Owen. The HBO movie Empire Falls, starring Paul Newman, Ed Harris, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Robin Wright, won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture made for Television. Fred has worked across most genres and is a master at adapting books to screen. Appropriately, he was awarded the Order of Australia for his service to the Australian film industry as a director, producer and screenwriter. Fred is a real character and a great conversationalist, he delivers a veritable master-class in film-making in this podcast, so much so, I’m releasing this chat over two episodes. https://fredschepisi.com/ W: https://theblankcanvaspodcast.com.au/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/leerogers12/ SOCIALS Insta: @theblankcanvaspodcast FB - The Blank Canvas Podcast Twitter: @blankcanvaspod THE BLANK CANVAS TEAM Produced by Lee Rogers & Rien MacDonald.

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.
On this weeks podcast, Mike and Glen discuss the racial tensions that lead to the true story behind "The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith", and how shocking it is that such an honest portrayal of racism came out of the 70s. Find out more at https://keystone-film-review.pinecast.co

Tom and Meg Keneally are an unlikely crack novel-writing team who write about an unlikely crack murder-investigation team. Tom Keneally is an icon of Australian literature: a Booker Prize-winner, a Miles Franklin-winner, and the author of The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Schindler’s Ark and other classics. Meg Keneally is a former journalist and PR specialist turned crime writer. The father-daughter pair have now co-written four books in the Monsarrat historical crime-novel series, about a convict and his trusted housekeeper who travel between Australian penal colonies cracking murder cases. Their latest book, The Ink Stain, sees Monsarrat and Mrs Mulrooney travel to Sydney to investigate a corruption case that might extend all the way to the governor. How did the Keneally collaboration come about? What are their creative similarities and differences as writers? Hear from this pair of gifted storytellers as they answer these questions, and many more, at Montalto with Elizabeth McCarthy.

Angel of the North Has Fallen The radio's blasting 60's pop, Aidan's smoking Red Apples and Rob's barefoot for no adequate reason, which means it's time for a new Quentin Tarantino film.

Off the Shelf sees two Eureka releases providing very different but complimentary crime thrillers to Leo and Brad's. Rob takes a look at Martin Sheen's screen debut in 1967's "The Incident", while Aidan takes a look at Fred Schepsi's controversial Australian New Wave thriller "The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith".
