EPISODE THIRTEEN: Midget Tackles!


In which CineCultania makes a less than dramatic or sober return to dual host podcasting! Ben returns with new co-host Drew. It's a bit of a mess, not helped by Roger Christian's Starship (AKA Lorca & The Outlaws AKA 2084), as Drew adjusts to hearing his voice & Ben struggles with lounge room recording on an EeePC with multiple headset adapters. This is the future folks, enjoy!

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN LOST RELATED SPOILERS (which Drew claims are not spoilers due to the revelations sucking)

EPISODE ELEVEN: The Short Real


In which Alex & Ben take a walk on the lighter side of life with Nadia Tass' The Big Steal (1990) & Richard Benjamin's Marci X (2003). Yes, we are taking it easy on Alex, & she is putting Ben through the ringer with Lisa Kudrow & Damon Wayans. They keep it real, bringing the same forceful retardation to comedy as they do to horror & whacked out cinema. Or something.

EPISODE TEN: Hackolytes


In which Alex & Ben delve into the dark, creepy & occasionally gory world of serial killers & cannibals. Bring your knives to the stabbing party for Acolytes (2008) & Dying Breed (2008), both recent entries in the Australian horror revival. Can they churn our guts? Do they strike fear into the hearts of man & woman? Are cannibals more entertaining thann serial killers? Maybe these questions will be answered in this thrilling episode of CineCultania! Or we'll just blather on about snacks & stick our faces deep into the gutter.

Warning: CineCultania contains coarse language & daftness & really isn't much better than a Carry On film.

EPISODE NINE: NEDtacular



In which Alex & Ben set forth on the grand adventure that is the NEDtacular! It's a trilogy of Nedness, featuring Tony Richardson's Ned Kelly (1970) starring Mick Jagger, Gregor Jordan's Ned Kelly (2003) starring Heath Ledger & Abe Forsythe's Ned (2003) starring Abe Forsythe! Plus loads of fantastic feedback & total inanity on our part. It's Nedtastic!

Send all feedback to cinecultania@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter or find us on iTunes.

Warning: CineCultania contains lots of coarse language & discussion of performances so terrible they are offensive. In addition, this episode is a little bit queer, but for that we blame Mick Jagger.
