EPISODE SEVEN: Claudia Cardinale & Woop Woop In A Pineapple Glaze

In which Alex and Ben examine two films that deal with the horrors of marriage and foreigners in Australia in very different ways. First off is the largely forgotten Italian comedy A Girl In Australia (1971) starring Claudia Cardinale and Alberto Sordi, and finally the modern ozsploitation, Stephen Elliot's Welcome To Woop Woop (1997). It is essential to eat pineapple chunks and crack open a XXXX beer while listening to this episode, and wear your pants high!

EPISODE SIX: Strictly Boofing at Hanging Rock

In which Alex & Ben give representation to two well known & much loved Australian classics, Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) & Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom (1992). Will they 'much love' on them, or will the tides turn against these cinematic exercises in stillness & hyperactivity? General blathering will also occur, along with a fair dose of coarse language, bad accents, bad pronounciation, and, for that matter, bad lots of things. Angola!

EPISODE FIVE: Frogging Delirious Bandits

In which Alex and Ben enter into a state of delerium while discussing a double dose of 1980s kids adventure films as directed by the legendary Brian Trenchard-Smith: Frog Dreaming (1986) and BMX Bandits (1983). Frog Dreaming is also known as The Go-Kids and The Quest, which leads to discussion on terrible international name changes. In addition, Alex's secret fears are revealed, Ben fails at accents, and other stuff happens. It's all terribly exciting, especially when combined with tea and a biscuit.

SPECIAL: Desperately Seeking Adam Spellicy at Accents Anonymous

In which Alex & Ben interview film-maker & film programmer Adam Spellicy about independent film production, surviving a shoot in a peep show, the similarities between music & film making, the documentary American Movie, and whatever else comes to mind. We also set out to offend Tasmanians and Americans of the South, and apologies to Pierre Clementi (the guy with holes in his socks) and David Spade and Patrick Warburton for amalgamating them.

Next week on CineCultania we uncover Philipe Mora's Howling 3: The Marsupials!

Both these trailers are spoiler free. However, the tone of the Samson & Delilah trailer is more suited to The Square and vice versa. Very odd.
