Episode 3 - Late Night on the Outback

Here is episode three. We discuss our love/hate for the new Friday the 13th remake and talk about Ozploitation films from the 1970's including such classics as Wake in Fright, Stone, The Cars That Ate Paris, The Man From Hong Kong, Mad Dog Morgan, Long Weekend, Patrick, and Mad Max. Be prepared of a shit-ton of Aussie awesomeness.

"Not Quite Hollywood" Podcast Update

Our scope is too ambitious for this week's podcast, so we're going to have to split it into two (2) halves.

Part One: 1971-1979 - will be posted by Friday morning, and Part Two: 1980-1987 - will be posted next week, hopefully on a Wednesday evening as per usual.

I leave you with a short video we spent the weekend making for our school's 48-hour Shootout competition. We were given a genre (Instructional Video), a line of dialogue ("I was up all night"), and a prop (Three Eggs) - enjoy:

Coming Next Thursday-Ish

We journey to the Outback with about 15 "Ozploitation" films - from 1971-1987, 16 years - 15 works of Aussie excellence.

Loosely (oh who am I kidding, entirely) inspired by the excellent documentary, Not Quite Hollywood: The Untold Story of Ozploitation, hopefully coming soon to DVD.
In this documentary, we learned that former James Bond actor George Lazenby was actually set on fire in 1975's The Man from Hong Kong, Dennis Hopper was a drugged-up motherfucking jerkoff no matter what country he was in (and was, in fact, prohibited from not only driving - but from being a passenger in a car due to his Outback antics), and many more excellent, bizarre, and almost impossible-to-believe facts we'll unleash in next week's podcast.

For now, we leave you with the documentary's trailer, a quite excellent deleted bit of interview from the documentary, and brief clips/half-trailers from the two films that bookend our Ozploitation queue.
