Podcasts about Ozploitation

Mia-Kate Russell talks with Mike about Penny Lane Is Dead, her Ozploitation slasher debut, now streaming on Shudder. After twenty years as a film and TV makeup artist, Russell wrote and shot the film off the back of five self-funded shorts, drawing on her own delinquent 1980s Australian childhood and a long-held urge to put a genuinely awful teenage girl on screen — the impulse that became Penny's cousin Kat (Sophia Wright-Mendelsohn).She talks about landing at Fantasia and getting matched with producers at Umbrella Entertainment and Shudder, shooting in a wintry Adelaide with a cast and crew she'd mostly never met — including Bailey Spalding as Penny and Alexandra Jensen as Amy — cutting six pages from the third act mid-shoot after a scheduling error, and how filming in continuity meant her editor could hand back a rough cut every single morning. She also gets into the soundtrack, built around Aussie rock touchstones like AC/DC and The Angels' "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again," an in-joke for anyone who grew up in an Australian pub.Then there's Fantasia itself, where a scene involving a kitchen appliance made an audience member pass out mid-screening. Penny Lane Is Dead is streaming now, exclusively on Shudder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Geraldine Quinn chats about her Queer Australian Horror creation Campervan: An Ozploitation Horror Musical at Melbourne Fringe. Melbourne Fringe Festival - Campervan: An Ozploitation Horror Musical

Some new titles in physical media this week and a few to catch up with from last week, Erik Childress & Peter Sobczynski have you covered. They include a couple of monumental documentaries from Barbara Kopple and the history of Ozploitation is lovingly told in its own doc. Val Kilmer dons the mask(s) of a classic character while Jude Law and Ed Harris snipe at one another. Danny Boyle's original rage-infested tale gets an upgrade as does a film once torn apart by the Weinsteins. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are sister witches, there's an early appearance by Rachel Ward and poor Don Johnson has to choose between Virginia Madsen and Jennifer Connelly. Poor guy. 2:49 - Criterion (Harlan County USA (4K), American Dream) 16:07 - Sony (28 Days Later (4K Steelbook)) 26:57 - Ad Break 28:57 - Vinegar Syndrome (Night School 4K, Lady in White 4K, Not Quite Hollywood) 52:29 - Cinematographe (54 4K) 1:06:37 - Ad Break 1:08:37 - Paramount (The Saint (4K), Enemy at the Gates (4K Steelbook)) 1:22:49 - WB (Practical Magic (4K)) 1:30:45 - Radiance (The Hot Spot 4K) 1:51:54 - New Blu-ray Announcements CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNG Be sure to check out Erik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.

We hate to start the show with sad news. But the older we get, the more it seems to happen. Two icons from our childhood suddenly passed away and we talk about their accomplishments and the legacy they left behind. Despite not actually reviewing it for our show, we have talked a lot about Obsession. The little horror film has caught the public imagination like no other movie this year. We talk about the success of Obsession and what it means to indie horror in general. We do not shy away from movies that make us uncomfortable. On the contrary, we often go looking for them. We did not expect Penny Lane is Dead to be one of those films. We figured it would be a fun homage to 1980s Ozploitation. And in a lot of ways it was. But then there are the moments that harken to a darker side of the sub-genre. The movie is disgusting, bloody, tense, and an all around difficult watch. And through it all it manages to sneak in some genuine humor. It was a confusing watch to say the least. We had no hesitation when it came to the ending, however.

Send us Fan MailWe go down under to close out our theme of “It's Magic!” with the 1980 Australian fantasy thriller Harlequin.  The film, a modern day retelling of the story of Rasputin, is about a magical healer who seemingly cures a senator's son of leukemia, but gets close enough to the family to make the senator's handlers uncomfortable. We also talk about the “Ozploitation” film genre, our overall thoughts about Australia, and what a harlequin really is. And eyebrows. Glorious, majestic eyebrows.

Zum wiederholten Mal bringt Markus Köhler feinste Actionkost mit in den Podcast, diesmal vom anderen Ende der Welt. Denn im Lande Oz gibt es nicht nur Känguruhs, Fosters und jede Menge menschenleere Steppe, sondern auch eine unerschütterliche Liebe für brummende Motoren und beinharte Action im Kino. Aus der Blütezeit australischen B-Movies stammen auch die dystopischen Thriller Turkey Shoot (Insel der der Verdammten, 1982) und Dead-End Drive-In (Crabs – Die Zukunft sind wir, 1986), die in Sachen Gewaltdarstellung keine Gefangenen machen und auch politisch klare Kante zeigen. Danke, Brian Trenchard-Smith, King of Ozploitation!

It's another brutal film from Down Under. This week, we discuss the Father of Ozploitation films, WAKE IN FRIGHT.  Long considered a “Lost Film,” Wake in Fright was released in 1971 and partly do to some controversy, languished in obscurity until it started gaining cult status in the early 90's.   Intro:                    “We Can't Be Beaten” – Rose Tattoo Outro:                 “The Company of Wolves” – Werewolves

This week's pick is the 1981 Ozploitation thriller Roadgames. It is if Rear Window was set in the Australian Outback with an affable American truck driver and new his hitchhiking lady pal track a man they believe is killing ladies and dispersing their body parts throughout the territory.

We're having fun with more strange and familiar things this week on the Video Store Podcast, looking at four films that the Duffer Brothers took inspiration from for the second season of Stranger Things. If you missed the first installment of this series, go check out the first part, “Things to Watch After Stranger Things I.”Ghostbusters (1984)We're keeping it light and breezy to start this week's show with Ghostbusters (1984). It's a silly comedy with a healthy dose of spooky fun. Yes, our leading young guys are dressed as Ghostbusters, have their own proton packs, PKE Meters, and ghost traps to bust all the ghosts in the neighborhood. But what makes this an inspiration for Stranger Things season 2 is the haunted feeling our cast has during this season. And of course, Dustin catches a baby demogorgon with his ghost trap. What's not to like about that? Aliens (1986)Next is the sequel to 1979's Alien, Aliens, directed by James Cameron. This sci-fi action horror flick gives Stranger Things season 2 inspiration for its newest form of demogorgon, the demodog, as well as flamethrowers aplenty. Eleven is a mini-Sigourney Weaver in aesthetics and tenacity. And can we really trust Doc Owens if he is played by Paul Reiser, aka Burke from Aliens? Guess you'll just have to watch Aliens and find out. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the second example of a sequel that sticks the landing in today's show, and truly, that's why Stranger Things season 2 nods to it. As James Cameron sought to honor the original source material and give it a twist with Aliens, he does the same with Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The film turns expectations upside down, and that's exactly what Stranger Things season 2 does! And for that reason, it's worth watching the film to see what jumped to Stranger Things. You'll be back for more!The Exorcist (1973)The final film I've got for you today is often called “The Scariest Movie of All Time,” 1973's The Exorcist. And with good reason! This film's final act inspires the Stranger Things season 2 finale's final act as well. There are also certain parallels that can be drawn between Father Karras' journey and Hopper's journey to be a father. This is a really scary film, and it's not for everyone, but it is a film that's worth watching at least once. Honorable MentionsGo back and listen to Flack talk about Gremlins in his “I'm Dreaming of a Bloody Christmas” episode. I discussed Stand By Me in my “Film Friendships” show, which was visually referenced in the first two seasons of Stranger Things (and it won't be the last time either). Flack talks on the Ozploitation genre in his “Ozploitation Cinema” episode, of which Mad Max is the most famous, which is where Max gets her gamer tag in the Dig Dug game. Finally, I would be beyond remiss if I failed to include the most obvious reference---Eleven, dressed as a ghost, begging to go out for Halloween, just like E. T. did in E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which I covered in my first installment of this series. There are loads more I could mention, but I'll spare you that today. Come talk to me after hours if you want the full thesis dissertation. Thanks again for joining us today on the Video Store Podcast.

Welcome to Gen-Xtreme! First up is BMX Bandits, the Australian movie that gave us Nicole Kidman. Kids just wanna BMX, but thieves have to steal and it's up to our intrepid teen heroes to stop them. Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith, the amazing Ozploitation director and starring David Argue.

On this episode, the Spoop Bois discuss 1984's Australian animal attack horror film "Razorback" written by Everett De Roche and directed by Russell Mulcahy. They talk about the Ozploitation sub-genre of movies, the use of the Australian outback as a wasteland, and the elements of psychedelia and ethereal nightmare logic in visuals and storytelling. They also get into the backdrop of animal rights activism, man vs nature, the junk punk aesthetic of the Baker brother characters, and many other aspects of the film. Aaron and Derek only got two states of being- dangerous or dead. Nothing in-between.

Today on the 5: Thanks to a recommendation from Len Kabasinski, I watched 1987's Dark Age. For a movie that was a total unknown to me and is often labeled as a "Jaws ripoff" or an "Ozploitation" movie, this film is much better than I ever expected it to be!

Adrian and Al are back to reminisce over Fortress (1985), the Ozploitation thriller about kidnappers in Halloween masks and a class of outback schoolchildren, a film with enough violence they certainly shouldn't have seen it as young as they did. But what will Adrian and Al think now of these children and their showdown with their captors? How will they now see that screen violence and, more importantly, what will they make of those kids constantly singing?   Chapters: 0:00:12 - Welcome to After-School SpeciAL 0:02:04 - Remembering Fortress 0:06:29 - The Rewatch 0:36:19 - Rewind or Fast Forward? 0:43:07 - Outro   Connect with Adrian & Al: Letterboxd ~ CultFilmSchool Instagram ~ @cultfilmschool  Threads ~ @cultfilmschool X ~ @cultfilmschool Facebook  ~ Follow Us!

The Projection Booth continues its dive into Australian cinema with Pandemonium, the delirious 1987 feature from writer-director Haydn Keenan. A film that plays like a fever dream filtered through exploitation cinema, absurdist theater, and cultural anxiety, Pandemonium resists easy summary—and happily punishes anyone who tries.The story unfolds through the fractured testimony of Kales Leadingham, an escapee from an asylum portrayed by David Argue, who recounts his time working as a surveyor at a decaying movie studio run by the grotesque siblings (or spouses?) EB and PB De Wolf. What follows is a barrage of unstable identities, pagan imagery, religious parody, sexual panic, fascist satire, and mythic nonsense, all orbiting the enigmatic “Dingo Girl,” whose presence seems to fracture reality itself.Mike is joined by Heather Drain and Payton McCarty-Simas to unpack Keenan's anything-goes approach to narrative, performance, and tone. The discussion wrestles with the film's wild accents, confrontational humor, taboo imagery, and relentless escalation—from Nazi roleplay and talking mirrors to possessed dolls, zombie parties, musical numbers, and outright apocalyptic imagery.  The episode also features an interview with Haydn Keenan, who reflects on the film's creation, its confrontational sensibility, and its afterlife as a cult object.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Grant Hardie is the co-founder of Monster Pictures, one of Australia and New Zealand's leading distributors of horror and genre films. In 2011, Monster Pictures birthed the darkly delightful Monster Fest, which has quickly become Australia's flagship horror and genre film festival.Now, in 2025, Monster Pictures, in partnership with Head Gear Films and White Hot Productions, have morphed into their next stage of evolution, launching Monster Pictures Studios, a full-service genre film studio which aims to work with Aussie creatives to bring genre films to life with the intention of becoming a defining force of Australian genre cinema.There's a giddy level of delight when you read a press release like this one, as if we're honouring the scrappy genre-roots of Aussie cinema, splashing back to the era of Ozploitation where anything was possible. While the Age of Ozploitation is over, that doesn't mean Aussie filmmakers can't birth a new movement, and hopefully Monster Pictures Studios is going to do just that.First films off the ranks includes the action-thriller Seven Snipers, directed by Sandra Sciberras, featuring Radha Mitchell, Tim Roth, Ioan Gruffudd, and Ryan Kwanten. The next wave includes films from horror legends Greg McLean & Sean Byrne, while Matt Day will be making his feature directorial debut.I caught up with Grant Hardie to talk about Monsters Pictures ability to engage with audiences, filmmakers, and to shape how horror and genre films are embraced in Australia.To find out more, visit MonsterPicturesStudios.com.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Ob jung oder alt; Ganz gleich, ob Wessi oder Ossi; egal, ob Ami oder Aussie – ihr seid alle eingeladen, einen cineastischen Ausflug in eine für uns Bastarde weit entfernte Region zu unternehmen. Begleitet werden wir von Wahl-Australier Konni, der die Mentalität der Menschen und ebenfalls Filme von dort kennt.

CW: This episode contains discussions of alcoholism and cinematic violence including animal cruelty.The writer, comedian and musician Patrick Marlborough returns to the podcast from Perth, WA to discuss Wake in Fright (1971), the landmark Australian film by the late Canadian director Ted Kotcheff. One of only two films to be shown twice in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, and influential in shaping both the Australian New Wave and Ozploitation genres, Wake in Fright was acclaimed around the world but outraged local audiences with its brutal and merciless depiction of Australian toxic masculinity, violence, and alcoholism.Patrick gives us some insight on how Wake in Fright captures some of the ugliest aspects of the Australian national character, and we discuss how Kotcheff's Canadian-ness was an asset for his outsider's view of this world, the amazing supporting performance by Aussie comic screen icon Chips Rafferty in his final role, and how this great film was nearly lost forever.

I meant to upload this last week but I was in Australia losing my mind crossing the outback like the narrator of What's Rangoon to You Is Grafton To Me (which no one out there seems to know, let alone have any interest in ABC radio, TISM, Wake in Fright, Ozploitation cinema, that guy that walked around talking to people on the street on TV, or even the morning show I turned on upon arrival at my airbnb that was referring to orange and ham pizza as "Christmas Pizza" before segueing into cockroach milk). So anyway, here it is now.President Crooks continues to go Bucko wild, necessitating at least one well meaning bleep from me and making Jennifer uncomfortable. He talks a bit about the history of noise, the types of noisers, Milwaukee's wild rap scene, and some other bits (Australians and their oppressively close sun got me calling everything "bits" now). Pulled a couple of really old Smudge tracks from Bucko's Bandcamp, at least one dating back to the Galactic Intolerance Records days on archive.org. Check out the rest of what remains of his discography over at http://thesmudge.bandcamp.comAlso, check out the zine/documentary-ish thing we made about his Milwaukee Noise Fest and our trip to Fargo, the Arbitrary Art. Be the first to download or buy a copy at my gumroad http://thearbitraryart.gumroad.com or glance at the unlisted video Bucko put up that I generally pretend does not exist. Or if you're in Philly look for an unmarked DVD in a yellow sleeve that I occasionally drop in Little Free Blockbusters.

In this town, there's only so many things to do: find a quiet place to park, get lucky, then deliver that special someone a slideshow about how now they've got a death curse. That's right, love is in the air and a murderous demon entity is on our trail as we explore IT FOLLOWS for its 10th anniversary!! Along the way, we dig into the fabulous grab bag of horror and cultural influences that are woven into fabric of the film, explore the post-collapse aesthetic of Detroit, wonder why all these parents are so disconnected from the world their kids occupy, and debate the mainstream idea that the movie is a “casual sex is bad” horror. All this, plus high heel pursuits, awkward friend dynamics, Ju-On jokes, Plan Boo, Ozploitation references, and a limb-snapping edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

It's 8 o'clock in the F#%KING MORNING and we are joined by full grown sandgroper, Adam Trainer to dig up a couple of unsung antipodean gems. We discuss Fortress (1985), directed by Arch Nicholson, and then Fortress (1992 - no relation), directed by Stuart Gordon. Deep kindertrauma in the bush and dystopian prisonbreak glory - this week's episode is a psychedelic trip down some very obscure Australian rabbitholes so put on your stubbies and blue singlet, crack open a VB longneck and settle back for a couple of hours of Ozploitation fun. It's not really possible to spoil Fortress '92, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Fortress '85. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:18:47 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

Cinematographer James Hoare is a recent graduate from Curtin University, where he worked alongside director Christopher Paik-Swan and writer Max Joyce to bring to life their final year short film Don't Talk About the Monster on the Roof, a micro-budget horror short flick inspired by the look of Ozploitation films. It's an impressively taut thriller that is drenched in sweaty tension as a group of mates head off on a road trip up to the Pinnacles, only to find that while on the trip, they each start disappearing one by one after something on the roof of the car rips them away.James' work as the cinematographer saw him utilising LED virtual production technology, alongside drone shots and on location cinematography. He comfortably blends the VFX backgrounds with on location shots, culminating in an effective and creatively engaging short that executes high concept ideas on a student budget.James was also able to present the film at the 2024 CamerImage Festival in Poland as part of their Talent Demo program. At the festival, he was able to present the film and receive detailed feedback from celebrated filmmakers like cinematographer Jarin Baschkle (Nosferatu, The Lighthouse) and director Hiro Murai (Atlanta, Mr and Mrs Smith).In the following interview, recorded ahead of the films screening at the WA Made Film Festival on Saturday 22 February as part of the Saturday Shorts line-up, James talks about his creative journey to becoming a cinematographer, what it means to be able to make films in Western Australia, and a lot more.The line-up for this years WA Made Film Festival is a stellar one, with a huge array of shorts, long shorts, features, documentaries, and a panels galore to keep you up to speed on the ins and outs of the WA film scene. The festival opens with the world premiere of Remotely Famous, directed by Brad Newland. The excitement for that is so high that the screening has already sold out. The energy continues over the weekend with a live Cinema Australia podcast recording with Matthew Eeles and director Zak Hilditch, short film showcases, screenings of award winning films like Genocide in the Wildflower State, world premieres of films like Lint, Christmas Orphans, In Sect, and Highest Treason, while acclaimed films like Jellyfish, Green: The Fight for Rock and Roll, and Everywhere get spotlight screenings.I'm proud to be part of this years festival as I join a panel of excellent WA filmmakers for The Future is Bright: Independent Filmmaker Panel on Saturday 22 February from 11:45am at the City of Perth Library Auditorium. The panel includes Sarah Legg, Tayah Lee-Traub, Steven J. Mihaljevich, Emilie Lowe, Lawrence Murphy, and Oscar Miller, each of whom will be discussing their upcoming feature films which were made completely independently.I'm continually in awe of the work that Jasmine Leivers and Matthew Eeles put into bringing the WA Made Film Festival together. It's a top tier local film festival that reminds audiences that there is a vibrant, active, and downright vital film scene in operation here in Western Australia.For all the details on the festival, and to secure your tickets, visit WAMadeFilmFestival.com.au.

Like what you're hearing? Let us know!Discover the enigmatic world of Australian cinema with us as Super Marcy from the Super Network joins the conversation about the 1980 thriller "Harlequin." Imagine the intrigue of a political family meeting a mysterious healer—this is just the tip of the iceberg as we unravel the film's captivating narrative surrounding the Rast family and the elusive Gregory Wolf. Spearheaded by talents like Robert Powell and David Hemmings, and guided by director Simon Wincer and screenwriter Everett DeRoche, we explore how "Harlequin" stands as a unique gem within the Ozploitation genre. Reflect on how this film fits into the broader tapestry of Australian cinema, and why it's a must-watch on platforms like Australia's Broly.From political thrillers to historical mysteries, the episode takes a fascinating detour into the real-life enigma of former Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt. Vanished without a trace, his disappearance sparked wild theories, from CIA abduction to submarine escapes, and we ponder the irony of a swimming pool bearing his name. We even draw unexpected parallels between this national mystery and the triumphant moment in rugby league history when the Cronulla Sharks finally claimed victory, "turning off the porch lights" and ending decades of anticipation for their loyal fans.Peel back the layers of "Harlequin" as we dissect its themes of illusion versus reality, and liken Gregory Wolf's character to historical figures like Rasputin. From practical effects to Brian May's haunting score, we appreciate the artistry that sets this film apart from typical Ozploitation offerings. With lively discussions on its ambiguous scenes and the performances that bring tension and depth to the screen, this episode is an invitation to rediscover a film that challenges perceptions and captivates the imagination. Join us for a journey through political intrigue, cinematic mysteries, and the fascinating landscape of Australian storytelling.Support the showA Dingo Ate My Movie Socials:WebsiteBlueskyFacebookInstagramLetterboxdEmailMusic from the movies featured on the podcast: SpotifyApple MusicSupport Me At BuyMeACoffee Please note that this podcast often explores topics and uses language from past eras.

Today on the 5: Like friend of the show Ant Pruitt, I am generally not a person who enjoys musicals as a film genre. Up until now I had two exceptions to that rule, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Voyage Of The Rock Aliens. Today I add a third title to that list, the absolutely riotous and thoroughly fun Sons Of Steel.

Joe Lipsett of the Horror Queers podcast joins us for a Long Weekend (1978), where bickering couple Peter and Marcia venture out into the Australian wilderness for a camping trip they might not live to regret. Colin Eggleston's psychological thriller, written by Everett De Roche (of 'Patrick' and 'Razorback' fame), won prizes on the festival circuit and is fondly remembered by filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, but it's been largely forgotten since. Does this Ozploitation revenge-of-nature horror deserve its day at the beach? Is it a quietly disturbing parable with a convincing air of growing existential dread, or is it a forgettable slog with two awful campmates and too much grotty symbolism? Find out!
