A lonely woman recounts her life story to one of her snails in this unique stop motion film. Ryan joins us to discuss the new(ish) movie, Memoir of a Snail.
On this episode, Andrew catches up with Academy Award winning master of stop motion animation, Adam Elliot, and Emmy award and AACTA award winning screen legend, Sarah Snook, to talk about their mollusk-motion flick, Memoir of a Snail.Memoir of a Snail is driven by the delightfully dark sense of comedy and a relatable pathos, both of which bring the off-kilter world of Grace Pudel (Sarah Snook) and her equally orphaned twin brother Gilbert (Kodi Smit-McPhee) to life. It's a film that's resonated immensely with audiences around the world, with each person able to find a little bit of themselves in this tender tale of Grace and her obsession with snails.As always, Elliot is able to bring forth a welcome sense of groundedness to his characters, and while they may physically appear eccentric, there's something about each and every one of them that makes us feel seen. As with his previous film, Mary & Max, Elliot actively removes stigmas associated with those who live with mental illnesses, while also shining a light on those who try to vilify, condemn, or in the case of Gilbert, cruelly convert them away from their true self.The authenticity that sits at the core of Memoir of a Snail is not just driven by the characters we see on screen, but also from the empathetic and grounded voice work from Snook, Smit-McPhee, and other Aussie screen icons like Jackie Weaver, Magda Szubanski, Tony Armstrong, Eric Bana, while French icon Dominique Pinon also makes an appearance.In the following conversations with Adam, then with Sarah, I talk about how they both built that relatability on screen, what it means to show Australian stories in this way, and curiously, the importance of dress up boxes in the homes of Australian kids. There's really something for everyone here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Celebrate the fifth anniversaries of Australia's first gay and lesbian legally married couples with a look back down their long road to marriage equality.

Included are former Prime Ministers Scott Morrison and Malcolm Turnbull; Senators Penny Wong, Sarah Hanson-Young, George Brandis and Dean Smith; MPs Bill Shorten and Tanya Plibersek; former High Court Justice Michael Kirby; journalists Karl Stevanovic and David Koch; right wing activist Lyle Shelton; LGBTQ+ activists Jo Ball, Tiernan Brady and Alex Greenwich; entertainer Magda Szubanski and swimmer Ian Thorpe.

Magda Szubanski is the host of Magda'a Big National Health Check. It's a new show out now on the ABC and today on the podcast we talk about the approach the ABC have gone with in having an obese host fronting a series on health. Is it OK? Is it the right message? And what message does it send to viewers? Before you press play, we can tell you that we're more than happy for Magda Szubanski to be hosting the program. No worries with it whatsoever. But the issue we mainly discuss on this episode is whether her own experiences (and her experiences with health professionals) is a template that could disempower Australians to not take responsibility for their own health. We referenced two articles in this episode – this one from the ABC, and this one from The Guardian. Image courtesy ABC.

Australia is a rich country with access to healthcare and nutritious foods in a climate envied by others. But recent data shows 50% of Australians are living with a long term illness. This is the focus of a new TV show on the ABC. Magda Szubanski is an Australian icon, a comedian whose characters are beloved by millions and whose place in Australian pop culture is legendary … but there may be some scratching their heads about why she of all people would be the face of a TV show about the health of Australians, because she isn't - in the eyes of many - someone who could possibly be healthy. Today, we look at the science of fat, whether weight really is the biggest health issue Australians are facing or whether it's become more of an obstacle to treatment for those issues, and whether we can actually be big and healthy.

The editor of the Sydney Morning Herald has offered readers an apology over the paper's handling of a story about the same-sex relationship of Australian actor Rebel Wilson. Actor and advocate Magda Szubanski says the sense of entitlement to someone's private life is one issue and that for the LGBTQIA community the assumption that it's safe to come out is very wrong.
That Does Suit Madame, a Podcast about "Are You Being Served?"
“I'm a confirmed bachelor. More confirmed than you think!”. We re-welcome special guest host Dean Arcuri from Aussie-land! (he's noice, he's diff'rent, he's unyewsuel) Sherrie Hewson liked our tweet! (Who played Mrs. Slocombe in the 2016 BBC reboot/Benedorm). Deep Cut Jeff and refrigerator trivia. Aussie and Southern accents. Kath & Kim love and footie franks. UK accents on Australian TV. We recommend GlobalGiving.org for support for Ukraine. “Undesirable Alien” is the only Australian AYBS episode that's an original script; all other episodes are frame-by-frame remakes of the original UK episodes. Therefore, this is a “lost episode” (which is also very difficult to find online… good luck). Storyline: Mr. Humphries moves to Australia and works at “Bone's”, remarkably similar to Grace Bros. Parody law: tweaking art so it's your own and not a 100% copy. Were the Australian AYBS episodes created so Channel 10 could have a piece of the AYBS pie that ABC had already secured? The American Kath & Kim, Beane's of Boston, a remake of Hyacinth Bucket in Ohio: can you capture lightening in the bottle a 2nd time? The Americans learn the term “bogans”. …and “occa”. Mercuries and Subarus. Mr. Jeff sings! The Roseanne/Absolutely Fabulous connection. June Bronhill, who played the Mrs. Slocombe character (named Mrs. Crawford). She was a famous opera singer whose first acting credit was this show! Occa = Aussie term for someone with a heavy Australian accent. Mr. Brandon is being formulaic about comedy?! How much is that $10.50 Aus bowtie worth today? About $30 US. The cultural phenomenon/soap opera called “Neighbours” which is ending after 37 years of filming 5 days a week. American soaps air during daytime TV. Australia and the UK's soaps are primetime = very different stuff. Mr. Humphries had a work permit to work at Bone's department store but it was lost! Immigration is looking for him on the sales floor. So of course, Mr. Humphries goes into disguise as a bogan maintenance worker. Why did he have corks on his hat in his bogan costume? Bruce is the butchest name. Mrs. Crawford agrees to marry Mr. Humphries so he can stay employed with the team. Using random Australian words. Didgeridoo! Koala! Tim Tam slams are illegal in Northern Mississippi… We want to import fairy bread: white bread, butter, sprinkles. Imaging life next to a big, hairy, beer-drinking man. The “Fast Forward” skit about AYBS starring Kath & Kim stars Magda Szubanski and Gina Riley. Actors copying original AYBS roles vs. a new interpretation of the character. LGBT rights in Australia in the early 1980's. Dean speaks good. Suing for breach of promise? (Calling off an engagement and how engagement rings figure into things). Navigating COVID relationships. “Nutbush City Limits”, the Tina Turner song, is a required Australian wedding song. Disappointment in The Netherlands. And then they find the work permit form! Mrs. Crawford doesn't get to marry Mr. Humphries after all. Deus Ex Machinaaaaaa! …and Mr. Humphries is, once again, free. Up next: Are You Being Served Again? / Grace & Favour!!!
