Episode 8 - Samson & Delilah (2009)

Episode 11 - Don's Party (1976)

Gather round, Boys and Girls. We’ve got another offering straight outta The Pool Room. And this week we felt it time we accepted the invitation to ‘Don’s Party’; a fairly comprehensive guide on exactly how one should conduct oneself at politically charged social events. So help yourself to the complimentary Twisties and rouse that appetite for skinny dipping. ‘Don’s Party’s’ here, and it’s got a few things to teach us about good old fashioned Aussie decorum.

Episode 10 - The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

Alright girls! I christen this podcast Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! Get your frock on and bust out those dance moves because we're here to talk about Australia's most fabulous drag queens. For a film ahead of its time, Priscilla is equal parts hilarious as it is heartwarming. In the absence of Lachlan, we're joined by Jake De Agrela (of Cinema Sideshow Podcast fame) to dissect and discuss this glam-packed Aussie gem...

Episode 9 - Animal Kingdom (2010)

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? No, but you will if you listen to this oven-roasted offering fresh outta The Pool Room. And as festive decorum dictates, this week's film offers a wholesome rendering of the sanctity of the family unit. So stock up on brandy and fruit cake, and brace yourself for an episode centered on 2010's 'Animal Kingdom'. Short of what the title suggests, there is scarcely an animal in sight. Although we wouldn't put it past Ben Mendelsohn's Pope to go for your throat...

Episode 8 - Samson & Delilah (2009)

Join us as we venture into Australia’s red centre for a narrative about runaway lovers who're less villainous than Bonnie & Clyde, and more loving than Kath & Kim. We refer, of course, to Warwick Thornton’s 2009 feature-debut ‘Samson & Delilah’; a film that our hosts are seemingly the only ones not to have studied at high-school. With the exception of our protagonist's names, the film's connection to the eponymous bible story about the hazards of a hair cut is merely titular.

Episode 7 - He Died With A Felafel In His Hand (2001)

Strap yourselves in and prepare for expiration cradling Middle-Eastern treats, we’re about to dive into Richard Lowenstein’s ‘He Died With a Felafel In His Hand’. If you’re partial to a bit of albino moon-tanning and discussions around what a post-modern sort of guy Lenin was, give this gem of a slacker-film a go. It only besmirches the value of a university attained arts degree a little bit.
