Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Zombie Films of the 1980s
Q: If you were teaching a class on Zombie Cinema of the 80s, what core films would you include?
He would curate Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Life Force, Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Creeps, Evil Dead, and suggest Italian titles like City of the Living Dead to broaden perspective, highlighting both the genre's experimentation and its cultural commentary.
The 1980s' Obsession with the 1950s
Q: Yeah, my first question for you is, where do you think all this came from? What was the deal? Why did the 80s look back to the 50s?
There are multiple drivers: a political nostalgia that urged a return to perceived 'old school' values, a cultural desire to fix or idealize a past, and filmmakers who grew up in the 50s translating that influence through the 80s lens with better technology and higher budgets.
Australian Cinema in the 80s
Q: What are some quintessential Australian films from that era that you think defined the culture?
Crocodile Dundee, Mad Max 2, Puberty Blues, Dogs in Space, and Malcolm stand out as touchstones that reflect a mix of national pride, low-budget ingenuity, and the international appeal of Australian storytelling.
Australian Cinema in the 80s
Q: How did you first experience movies in Australia during the 80s?
We grew up with drive-ins and later video stores, which became cultural hubs, and American blockbuster culture loomed large, shaping what we thought cinema could be while Australian productions began carving their own identity.
