On Episode 26 of our show "Grindhouse Pizzeria" which is dedicated to all things encompassing various Grindhouse, Drive-In, and Exploitation genres; we will be taking on and dissecting one of the all time classic early 80's slasher fare with "HELL NIGHT" from 1981. Directed by Tom DeSimone (Savage Streets, Freddy's Nightmares, Hellhole)  and starring Linda Blair, Vincent Van Patten, Peter Barton, Kevin Brophy and Suki Goodwin. This is not just another slasher movie that came out in droves in the early 80's but rather an underappreciated gem. It's a tale about what goes on in Old Garth Manor when four college pledges must spend the night in the dusty old place...along with some sadistic killers left roaming the grounds. In the end you will pray for day.  Our discussion is headed off by our regular hosts Tom Komisar and Cameron Scott! Join the two of them for a grueling good time in Garth Manor with some unexpected guests!  Come on in at the Grindhouse Pizzeria, pull up a chair, and grab yourself a slice!   "You know if you guys spent half the time studying instead of setting up these stunts, we'd all be graduating with honors."

Kevin Brophy starred alongside Linda Blair and Peter Barton in 1981's cult classic, “Hell Night,” where he delivered a monologue that none other than Quentin Tarantino considers one of the best in horror. Tune in to hear all about making this 80s slasher, how Kevin got his start in Hollywood, and the incredible gift left to him by a fan he had never met.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4654832/advertisement

http://nathancurnow.weebly.com/Nathan Curnow : poetAfter gaining qualifications in Community Development I worked in Drug and Alcohol and Crisis Housing for many years in Melbourne, where I quickly became numb and exhausted. I had been pursuing writing for a couple of years and so decided to commit further by quitting my job and enrolling in Creative Writing at Swinburne Tafe.  Following that I entered the University of Melbourne, which for me was like a kind of hothouse, one that fast-tracked my development. Studying under Kevin Brophy and Philip Salom, among others, I completed a Post Grad Dip in Creative Writing and moved to Portland on the far south west coast of Victoria.Some might think of me as a Melbourne poet, but the majority of my writing has occurred in the regional wilds of Victoria. The irony is that as soon as I moved out of the city, the small opportunities and breakthroughs began to come my way, which meant some serious travel! I spent the next six years crashing on friends couches, in hotel rooms or in my car on the side of the road, all to perform, read, write and generally make a go of it.In 2007 things got even crazier when I set off to write about my stays at ten haunted sites around the country.  The adventure was featured widely in print and radio, and sparked the interest of a number of festivals where I was invited to appear. In 2010 I co-edited, along with Lisa Greenaway and Ella Holcombe, Going Down Swinging No. 30, the iconic and much loved literary journal that has given myself and so many emerging writers a great kickstart.    I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with a range of gifted people over the years, including artist Dr Carmel Wallace, composer Anthony Lyons, musicians Wulfbyrne Brown, Joel Roberts and Michael Wallace, plus film students (Raphaela Lee, Clare O'Donnell and Laura James) from RMIT. Nathan Curnow

 Once again, The Rhonda Jankovic Competition for Poetry on a Social Justice Theme has been held, with 166 entries from across Australia. Kevin Brophy, well known poet and academic, was this year's judge, and the quality of the poetry was very high. In this broadcast can be heard almost all of the prizewinning entries, as well as the voice of Rhonda herself reading one of her own poems.What is social justice?Social justice relates to inequalities stemming from power relations, indifference or exploitation. It is associated with, for instance, economic conditions, political persecution, health, education, dis/ability, ethnicity, race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, age, and violence. Poetry Award entries may identify inequalities by observation and/or advocate solutions.  http://www.rhondajankovicliterarysociety.org/http://www.rhondajankovicliterarysociety.org/poetry-award.htmlRhonda Jankovic, an accomplished poet with publication credits in journals and several awards, was a passionate patron of emerging poets and a staunch advocate for people disadvantaged in society. After a childhood suffering abuse Rhonda was removed to an orphanage. But her new 'family' repeated the abuse, so Rhonda took to the streets of Christchurch (New Zealand) where she lived for Several years. At 18, fleeing her negative life, Rhonda scraped together a one-way fare to Sydney (Australia), bereft of further cash, accommodation or people meeting her. Witnessing Rhonda openly sobbing on the plane, a compassionate couple invited her to their home and assisted her with obtaining employment. Having left school at 14, Rhonda subsequently studies and gained entry into La Trobe University (Melbourne) where she reached postgraduate level researching Australian history. Rhonda pursued her advocacy for poets and social justice as producer/host of two Radio 3CR programs -  Spoken Word (poetry) and SUWA (focusing on issues facing homeless and similarly disadvantaged people).  She died of cancer in 2012 at the age of 49. To honour and continue her work the Rhonda Jankovic Society for Promotion of Social Justice through Literature was formed; it has posthumously published Rhonda's poetry collection Your Heartbeat in Mine and established the Rhonda Jankovic Poetry Award.About the SocietySoon after Rhonda died on 25 November 2012, a number of supporters - inspired by her laudable achievements, by the knowledge these were attained in the face of daunting hurdles, and also by her passionate commitment to both social justice and poetry - felt moved to initiate an ongoing tribute which would actively promote Rhonda's values. This led to Sponsors contributing to a Friends of Rhonda Fund, which largely paid for the production of Your Heartbeat in Mine, and also to the formation of the Rhonda Jankovic Society for Promotion of Social Justice through Literature. As of April 2013, the Rhonda Jankovic Society for Promotion of Social Justice through Literature Inc. became an incorporated association (Incorporated Registration: A0059242G).Objectives of the SocietyThe Society adopted the following objectives:Accept and manage sponsorships and donations for the purpose of promoting social justice through literature;Manage a Rhonda Jankovic Social Justice Poetry Award, the frequency of which will be determined, and;Subject to funding, contribute donations or similar supportive measures to causes in the spirit of Rhonda Jankovic's social justice philosophy.
