What does it really take to build a lasting career in one of the most cutthroat industries in the world? Richard Roxburgh has starred in iconic films like Elvis, Moulin Rouge, and The Great Gatsby. But beyond the fame and red carpets is a man who’s spent decades quietly mastering his craft, while working alongside the biggest names in the business. In this revealing conversation, Richard joins Sarah Grynberg to reflect on the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hard-won wisdom of life in front of (and behind) the camera. He opens up about working with Cate Blanchett, taking creative leaps with Baz Luhrmann, and his powerful new film The Correspondent, which explores the personal cost of truth-telling in a noisy world. You’ll learn: What it’s really like working with Cate Blanchett and Baz Luhrmann How to chase a dream when the odds are stacked against you The tools Richard uses to stay grounded in an industry built on ego Why success doesn’t always look (or feel) the way you think it will What deep, lasting creativity actually requires — and how to protect it If you’ve ever felt burnt out, unsure of your path, or pressured to keep achieving, this episode will show you how to keep going without losing yourself.

Two new movies to discuss! The Australian film The Correspondent starring Richard Roxburgh and directed by Kriv Stenders, and then it is time for Warfare co-created by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza. Bonus Squid - Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In December 2013, Australian journalist Peter Greste, alongside fellow Al Jazeera colleagues Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and Baher Mohamed, were arrested in Cairo, Egypt under charges of holding illegal meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation declared as a terrorist group by the Egyptian Interior Ministry. Kriv Stenders is a prolific Australian filmmaker, with his work spanning features, documentaries, and TV series. His latest film, The Correspondent, translates this period of Greste's life, as documented in his 2017 memoir The First Casualty, to screen, with Richard Roxburgh portraying the award winning journalist. The Correspondent is a salient reminder of the need for a global free press, and it arrives at a time where journalists around the world, even Australia, are being vilified, condemned, or at worse, being imprisoned or murdered for their work. While The Correspondent considers the legal battles that Greste and his journalistic colleagues endured between 2013 through to 2015, when Greste was released, the film then reflects on another attack on journalists, with Stenders and writer Peter Duncan taking us to another part of Greste's life, when he worked alongside Kate Peyton (portrayed by Yael Stone) in Mogadishu, Somalia in 2011. These scenes act as an insight to the complex ways that reporting from war zones leads to the aggressors violently controlling the passage of information, with The Correspondent then amplifying the message of advocating for free press.A central aspect to that advocacy is Richard Roxburgh's turn as Peter Greste. Arguably, this is the finest performance of Richard Roxburgh's career, with the weight of expectation, trauma, uncertainty, and grief lingering on his mind, often only appearing through glances or brief looks at his fellow inmates. Roxburgh echoes the work of Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips, another film which sees the acclaimed actor give a career best turn, and in doing so, brings to life Greste in an empathetic and supportive manner. It is as if this is the only performance that matters in his career. It's powerful stuff. I carry that in mind when I sit down to discuss the film with Kriv Stenders, oddly for the first time in my career. I've long admired Stenders work, from having caught The Illustrated Family Doctor in a small screen at Luna Cinemas Leederville, to being knocked off my feet with Boxing Day and Lucky Country. He then took his filmmaking to a new level with Red Dog and Red Dog: True Blue, and with the back of this run of films, he has examined the role that Australian stories and voices have on our cultural identity. Few filmmakers in Australian cinema get more than one or two films, and yet Stenders has crafted an enduring filmography that comments on and furthers our understanding of what Australian culture, identity, and cinema, can be. While this is my first time talking with Kriv, I know it won't be my last. The Correspondent arrives in Australian cinemas on 17 April 2025, with Q&A screenings continuing to take place at select cinemas. Make sure to check your local cinema guide for session details.

In December 2013, Australian journalist Peter Greste was arrested in Egypt and charged with aiding a terrorist organisation. What followed was 400 days of incarceration, solitary confinement, interrogations, a politically motivated trial and complete uncertainty in a corrupt legal system. Peter's story and fight for freedom has been turned into a film, The Correspondent, staring veteran Australian actor Richard Roxburgh. "It felt like it was an even more urgent story to tell - the simple fact is, journalists used to be protected by the Geneva Convention and they're now regarded as fair game in theatres of war, and also in the White House now."

I'm calling it right now. Lesbian Space Princess is the film of the year. I saw it in a sold out auditorium at the beautiful art deco Piccadilly cinema in Adelaide with an Adelaide Film Festival audience that lapped up every laugh, every tear, and every splash of neon bright queer celebration on screen. Lesbian Space Princess is the animated feature debut of filmmakers Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs, a collaborative force to be reckoned with, set to change the Australian film industry one bubblegum flavoured cel at a time. The film follows Saira (voiced brilliantly by the superb Shabana Azeez), the titular lesbian space princess who finds herself having to leave her sheltered planet in the wide galaxy to save her punk rock ex-girlfriend Kiki (Bernie Van Tiel) after she is kidnapped by the Straight White Maliens (voiced by the Aunty Donna crew). Saira pilots a ship (voiced with joyous deadpan delivery by Richard Roxburgh, completing his one-two punch of career best performances alongside his turn in The Correspondent), encountering the delightful Willow (a scene stealing Gemma Chua-Tran), and the two head off in the galaxy to save Kiki.That plot synopsis barely scratches the surface of what is going on within one of the sharpest, funniest, queerest films to be produced in Australia. There is the Australian film industry before Lesbian Space Princess, and there is the Australian film industry after Lesbian Space Princess, and I can't wait to see what work this film inspires people to create. I'm still giddy from the ten minute standing ovation that took place on the opening night. You know us Aussies, we're not partial to standing ovations, let alone standing for anything (unless it's a queue), so to know we stood, clapped, cheered, and heaped deserving praise on this debut film is a strong enough statement as it is. That energy I'm putting forward lingers in the following interview with Leela, Emma, and Shabana (who joined us after a day of shooting her HBO series The Pitt, and after her film Birdeater took home Best Indie Film at the AACTAs). In this discussion, we talk about the origins of Lesbian Space Princess, what it means to create a narrative that everyone can relate to, the varied emotionality of the film, and a lot more. We close the chat with Emma telling us the impact of the film on relationships. This interview was recorded ahead of Lesbian Space Princess' world premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival where it is in competition for the Panorama Audience Award and the Teddy Award for LGBTQIA+ films. The version screened at the Adelaide Film Festival was a work in progress print. Lesbian Space Princess was awarded the full $10,000 from the Queer Screen Completion Fund. The Completion Fund recipients are determined by an independent jury.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Mission: Impossible 2. Stars Tom Cruise, Anthony Hopkins, Thandiwe Newton, Richard Roxburgh, and Dougray Scott. Bio-terrorists plan on releasing a virus for reasons, and Tom Cruise and the rest of the IMF gang have to stop them. Featuring slower pacing and worse plotting than the first film, Mission: Impossible 2 also has flashier action scenes (doves! shooting guns on motorcycles! more doves!) courtesy of Hong Kong director John Woo. Whether it's the Limp Bizkit cover of Lalo Schifrin's iconic TV theme, Tom Cruise's flowing locks, or the extreme sports mountain climbing intro, this one has aged worse than most in the series. While it's nice John Woo got to work with such a massive budget for once, it's a shame it wasn't for a better film. The Mission: Impossible 2 shoot went on for so long that Dougray Scott had to drop out of a role for a fledgling movie series that would have boosted his career to huge heights: Wolverine in the original X-Men.

Host: Daniel Panel: Matthew, Nic, and Nur Directed by Stephen Norrington Starring: Sean Connery, Stuart Townsend, Peta Wilson, Jason Flemyng, Naseeruddin Shah, Tony Curran, Shane West, Richard Roxburgh, Max Ryan, Tom Goodman-Hill

“Well, this is not ‘mission: difficult', Mr. Hunt. This is ‘mission: impossible.' ‘Difficult' should be a walk in the park for you.”Hunt's Back for Love, Doves, and Viruses!Returning for a sequel to their hit, Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner decided to explore the franchise with a different director – something they'd continue doing for the first five films. For this, they went with Hong Kong action filmmaker John Woo. Known for his over-the-top action set pieces, his use of slow motion, and his use of doves, it may seem a bit of a surprise that what Woo really wanted to inject this sequel with was romance. But is that where the film goes wrong? Or did it have issues even without the love story? Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our ‘Mission: Impossible' series with a conversation about Woo's 2000 film Mission: Impossible 2.Here's a hint at what we talk about.While it may seem natural to hire John Woo to direct a Mission: Impossible movie, it's quite a surprise that this is the worst of the franchise. Woo's filmmaking style doesn't seem to fit. It feels like it's a different universe than where the rest of the franchise takes place. But is that strictly Woo's fault? Was it partially the story put together by Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga? Or the final script written by Robert Towne? It's hard to say, but the romance Woo wanted to inject into the story certainly doesn't help.And that's one of our primary complaints. Nya, as played by Thandiwe Newton, could be an interesting expert thief character but they drop that angle instantly and restrict her to love interest and pawn. Plus, by the time we get to the end of the film, they completely bail on Nya as a potential threat to humanity with the virus she's carrying. No wonder Newton had such a miserable time making this movie.But there's also the angle of the virus and antidote. It seems very James Bond villain-esque, but even there it's less about threatening the world and more about making a little money. Maybe it's because we struggle with Dougray Scott as the villain, or the fact that his relationship with Newton's Nya seems less likely than a possible gay relationship with his right hand man played by Richard Roxburgh. Cruise does start his crazy stunts here with the wire work as he's doing the free solo climb. His later stunts and action set pieces aren't too bad, but they never feel great. It has its moments, but this film just never feels like it's doing what it needs to be doing. Still, it makes for a fantastic conversation. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

In this episode: Are you an Elvis fan? Do you want an up-close and personal look at Elvis, his life, his movies, his love live, his addictions, and untimely death? Stay tuned as the Oscars are closing in and there's a few more Oscar 2023 nominated films and talent that we want to review. We're going to take this Wednesday episode and have a fantastic conversation about an intense, Oscar-nominated film, with an amazing director and actor. If you haven't seen it, you need to! We are talking about Elvis being in the building! I'm your host Michael R. Herst and I'm here with my lovely wife and co-host Diane. We're going to review Elvis – the 2022 biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Austin Butler! Welcome to One More Thing Before You Go.Elvis the movie – it is an ambitious and visually stunning film that tells the story of one of the most iconic musicians of all time. The film follows Elvis from his teenage years through his rise to fame, and his struggles as he faces the pressures of life as a celebrity, while maintaining a complex relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis is nothing short of brilliant. His performance captures the essence of Elvis – the music, the energy, the charisma. It is very clear that Butler studied the original recordings, as well as Elvis's mannerisms and movements to bring an authenticity to the role. He is supported by a talented cast that includes Tom Hanks as Col. Tom Parker, Helen Thomson as Elvis' beloved mother, Richard Roxburgh as Elvis' troubled father, Vernon Presley, and Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla.This is a stunningly well-crafted and emotionally-affected portrait of the life and career of the King of Rock and Roll, from his humble beginnings in poverty-stricken Tupelo, Mississippi, to becoming one of the 20th century's most iconic and influential figures. Elvis's inspiring story is brought to life with a mix of dynamic visuals and a captivating soundtrack. Butler is able to bring out Elvis' complexity, showing him as a passionate artist, a rebellious rebel, and a devoted family man. He gives a mesmerizing performance that captures Elvis' unique blend of charisma, vulnerability, and ambition. Baz Luhrmann's direction is remarkable. He creates an atmosphere of nostalgia and glamour, while still doing justice to the story of Elvis's life. Luhrmann captures the highs and lows of Elvis's career, and his struggles with fame, with a real sense of empathy.Overall, Elvis, the 2022 biopic, is a powerful and poignant drama about one of the most iconic figures in all of music. Luhrmann's direction, Butler's performance, and the stellar cast all come together to create an unforgettable film. It's a must-see for any fan of Elvis Presley, and a powerful reminder of the importance of his legacy.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacyPodcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

The anticipation was high for Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic! Mostly because of the shots we'd seen of Tom Hanks as Elvis's manager Colonel Tom Parker. Like all Baz Luhrmann movies this film looked bonkers and it is definitely not a conventional music biopic. Austin Butler plays rock and roll icon Elvis Presley, with a supporting cast including Tom Hanks, Olivia DeJonge, Helen Thomson, Richard Roxburgh, Kelvin Harrison Jr., David Wenham, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Luke Bracey. This 160-minute film covers Elvis Presley's entire life. We disagreed over many points in the film and we hash it out in this comprehensive Lodgecast!
