Podcast appearances and mentions of priscilla cameron

Grumpy Old Dictators It's a three-man show disguised as a two-man show this week as Rob and Graham invite Mark on for an exciting new feature where we take a different look at two of last week's big releases - "The Incredibles 2" and "Skyscraper".  Before all of that though, there's a hilariously perverse piece of counter-programming thanks to our Director's Lottery, which this time has gifted us with Julia Loktev's minimalist hiking drama "The Loneliest Planet" - the box office takings of which were somewhere below the average Dwayne Johnson vehicle. After duly dispensing those duties it's time for our photo negative show, where the usual home releases are replaced with new offerings at the cinema - and as we noted before, Mark is handling the blockbuster end of things. In the meantime, Rob and Graham have the disconcertingly cancer-themed double bill of Priscilla Cameron's debut "The Butterfly Tree" and Paul Schrader's raging comeback "First Reformed". Thanks for tuning in, we have plenty more new additions to the show coming soon, but until next time with Hotel Artemis keep it Eclectica. If you want to send a little support our way, you can.

Our weekend of coverage continues with an interview with Australian actress, Melissa George who speaks with me about her return to down under to play Evelyn in ‘The Butterfly Tree’When burlesque-performer-turned-florist Evelyn arrives in an Australian town, she beguiles 13-year-old Fin  and his teacher father, Al. Father and son are struggling to cope with the loss of Fin’s mother and quick to warm to Evelyn’s charms. Writer/director Priscilla Cameron’s film is rich with atmosphere and idealism, and Melissa George is charismatic as a romanticised woman who cannot live up to the expectations of men, but who represents the hope of finding a way out of sadness. 

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Jake discuss the week's films, debate whether 'Get Out' deserves to be submitted to the Golden Globes comedy category, count down the best cameos of all time, and speak to the writer and director of 'The Butterfly Tree', Priscilla Cameron, about her near-decade long endeavour to bring the film to life.Reviews▸ The Butterfly Tree▸ Better Watch Out▸ Goodbye Christopher Robin ▸ The Teacher▸ Daddy's Home▸ Tulip FeverTrailers▸ The Mercy▸ Deadpool 2▸ RampageNews▸ With the award season starting up, studios are getting their ‘For Your consideration’ campaigns into gear. In a surprise move, Universal have submitted acclaimed horror classic ‘Get Out’ in the comedy category of the Golden Globes, with director Jordan Peele’s approval, causing many people to scratch their heads in confusion. How on earth could the supreme horror film of 2017 possibly be classed as a comedy? And has this happened before?▸ It’s been a few weeks now since the release of ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, and it’s made a gazillion dollars, so it's no spoiler that Matt Damon, Luke Hemsworth and Sam Neill all have hilarious cameos in the film together. Matt Damon is no stranger to awesome cameos, with 'Eurotrip', 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' and a very secretive turn in 'Intersellar', just to mention a few. So what are the greatest cameos seen on the big screen?Interview‘The Butterfly Tree’ is finally in cinemas, after debuting at this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival. Jake spoke to the movie’s writer and director, Priscilla Cameron, about the process of bringing the script to life, assembling a stellar cast and filming on Mount Tamborine.Make sure you catch ‘The Butterfly Tree’ from today - it’s opening in cinemas across the country, so to find a screening near you, head to www.facebook.com/butterflytreefilm and check out the upcoming events.For an extended version of the interview, visit SWITCH's YouTube channel.Comps▸ Win one of five copies of 'Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets' on Blu-rayStay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/MissJess_SWITCHtwitter.com/DanielLammintwitter.com/JakeChattyNext week's episode▸ Reviews for 'The Disaster Artist', 'Wonder', 'The Man Who Invented Christmas', National Theatre Live's 'Peter Pan' and 'Only The Brave'For more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au

Charlie, Jess, Daniel and Jake discuss the week's films, discus why we still haven't seen a queer superhero character, ask what actors should be erased from films à la Kevin Spacey, and speak to a former spy to sort out the on-screen fact from fiction.Reviews▸ Justice League▸ Lucky▸ The Killing Of A Sacred Deer▸ Blade Of The ImmortalTrailers▸ The Post▸ The Leisure Seeker▸ Game NightNews▸ Amidst the praise being directed at ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, actor Tessa Thompson revealed that she played her character Valkyrie as bisexual. Marvel then confirmed that a scene that makes this more obvious was actually cut from the film. Marvel seemed to think it deserved kudos for including a queer superhero character - but does it? Does revealing this character information after the fact earn them the points for representation, or is this piecemeal offering actually more insulting when you can’t even see this in the final film, especially when Disney have already been woefully guilty of this in the past twelve months?▸ The hits just keep on coming in the wake of the Hollywood sexual assault scandal. Oscar winner Kevin Spacey is the latest to crumble beneath the avalanche of accusations, with Netflix not only cutting ties with the actor, but also cancelling the highly popular series ‘House Of Cards’. Further to this, just five weeks out from release, Ridley Scott has made the extreme decision to replace Spacey from his latest film ‘All The Money In The World’ with fellow Oscar winner Christopher Plummer. This last-minute scramble is a huge gamble for the film as is enters awards season, which makes us reflect on other pictures that have made such dramatic 11th hour changes, and ask if you could erase any actor from a film, what would it be?InterviewTo celebrate the release of 'Atomic Blonde' on home entertainment, Jess was invited to attend Atomic Spy School. There she were privileged to be instructed in the ways of espionage by former Australian Secret Intelligence Service and MI6-trained spy Warren Reed.'Atomic Blonde’ is out now on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and digital.For an extended version of the interview, visit SWITCH's YouTube channel.Comps▸ Win one of five copies of 'Atomic Blonde' on Blu-ray▸ Win one of ten double passes to see 'The Butterfly Tree' in cinemas▸ Win one of five copies of 'Sharknado 5' on DVD▸ Win one of five copies of 'An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power' on Blu-rayStay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/MissJess_SWITCHtwitter.com/DanielLammintwitter.com/JakeChattyNext week's episode▸ Reviews for 'Goodbye Christopher Robin', 'The Butterfly Tree', 'Better Watch Out' and 'Tulip Fever'▸ Jake chats to 'The Butterfly Tree' director Priscilla Cameron about her decade-long endeavour to bring the film to lifeFor more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au
