Gird your loins, the latest Movie Squad instalment has arrived. Simon Miraudo reunites with Tristan Fidler and together they bring two new reviews to their fashionable taskmaster, Breakfast host Pamela Boland. First up, Tristan reviews The Devil Wears Prada 2, the long-awaited sequel to Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway's iconic 2006 fash-com (fashion comedy, not fascist comedy). Pam saw it too, so listen in to find out whether or not it's (in the words of Miranda Priestly) groundbreaking or dirty, tired and paunchy. Then, Simon and Tristan jointly review Warwick Thornton's Wolfram, which is also a sequel… of sorts. The great Aussie filmmaker follows up 2017's Sweet Country with another brutal tale of colonial violence, but this time, there's perhaps a slightly more optimistic outlook. It stars Deborah Mailman and Pedrea Jackson. Stay tuned for the pod-exclusive segment, where Simon reviews the Australian thriller Seven Snipers, which sees an ex-military mum played by Radha Mitchell protecting her daughter from the vengeful marksman known only as The Dragon (Tim Roth). Would it shock you to learn she is helped by approximately six other snipers? All these films are now in Australian cinemas!

It's a Christmas miracle: a bonus Movie Squad episode! Earlier this month, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo were invited to be part of Accent, the Music and Sound in Australian Cinema Conference held at the University of Western Australia. As a Boxing Day surprise (especially for those who were disappointed by their Xmas haul), we're gifting you the live recording of their session, titled Australian Film Scores and Needle Drops. From the propulsive synth of Gallipoli to the twinkling strings of Somersault; the manipulated didgeridoo in The Last Wave to the droning loops of Snowtown: Australia's most iconic film scores and needle drops are a demonstration of contrast and dissonance. (Movie about a killer boar? Better pull out the Fairlight CMI. Dark comedy set on the fictional ‘jewel of the north coast', Porpoise Spit? Let's licence all the ABBA songs.) In this live podcast recording, RTRFM's resident film critics Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo, aka Movie Squad, celebrate Australian movie music that clashes like a Muriel Heslop ensemble, and discuss the contemporary musicians who've tried their hand composing for locally-made features. No cultural cringe allowed!

The internet's not big enough for this episode of the Movie Squad podcast, but we're uploading it anyway! Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo join Brekky host Pam Boland to talk a brand new blockbuster (as well as the career prospects of Glen Powell) and the most exciting films playing the Japanese Film Festival, before chatting with Perth Festival‘s Film Curator Madeline Bates ahead of her new season. First up, it's all about The Running Man, which sees Edgar Wright rebooting/remaking the Stephen King novel previously adapted into a brawny Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. This time around, it's Glen Powell playing the dystopian death-sport set in the horrifying near-future of (checks notes) 2025! Then, it's a deep dive into the Kiyoshi Kurosawa flicks playing the Japanese Film Festival, including The Serpent's Path, Chime and especially Cloud, the latter of which is about a predatory internet reseller who becomes prey to an online community of people he's wronged (for reasons big and petty).

Simon follows that up with a review of the dread-inducing Dragonfly, part of the 2025 British Film Festival, which stars Brenda Blethyn as an elderly woman being cared for by her odd duck of a neighbour, played by Andrea Riseborough. Stay tuned for Tristan's pod-exclusive review of the extremely stressful comedic drama If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, starring Rose Byrne as a mother on the brink and Conan O'Brien as her uncaring therapist.

Provocative! Outrageous! Shocking! Melodramatic! Twisted! It's only another episode of the Movie Squad podcast. This week, Tristan Fidler reviews Luca Guadagnino's all-star drama After the Hunt, in which Julia Roberts' college professor is torn between a promising student (Ayo Edibiri) and the colleague (Andrew Garfield) she accuses of crossing the line. Then, Simon Miraudo leads a review of James Sweeney's tonally-surprising and somewhat sinister dramedy Twinless, starring Dylan O'Brien as a man grieving the death of his identical brother, and who meets a kindred spirit (played by Sweeney) at a twinless support group. Both films are in cinemas (Twinless arrives October 23). First up, however, in a rare non-twisted segment, Breakfast host Pamela Boland and the Blockbuster Babes pay tribute to the late, great Diane Keaton. But then stay tuned through to the end for a pod-exclusive chat, as Tristan and Simon interview WA author Patrick Marlborough about the strange stew of films that influenced his comic revenge novel Nock Loose.
