Introduction to 'Under Southern Screens'
00:00:17
Speaker
G'day, fellow Aussie film lovers, and welcome to another episode of Under Southern Screens, the most bricklaying Australian cinema podcast. I'm Bricklaying Mitch. I'm Bricklaying Matthew. You said that so sensually, man. I did. You're just like, welcome. Welcome. This is the smooth listening hour. It reminds me of Smooth 91.5 because this is probably what a lot of migrants listen to, older grandparent migrants listen to. Is Is this something you know for a fact or is this just a Yeah, grandmother, bless her, she is a smooth FM loyalist. So, I mean, it's obviously a great segue. Anyway, I mean, and i mean firstly, i i mean, we said hello in the beginning here, but I really should be saying
00:01:06
Speaker
miamo mitchell I'm a third generation Italian immigrant. That's the breadth of my Italian knowledge. But I just wanted to embrace the yeah the Polynesian culture of Moana 2 this week. so we watch Just a white boy embracing the Italian culture. yeah of overcome by I just want to say this week, I was overcome by the Italian culture of nineteen sixty six is They're a Weird Mob. Mitch, what a
Exploring 'They're a Weird Mob' - Initial Thoughts
00:01:31
Speaker
curious oddity. well what a curious film to have to issue a spoiler warning yes spoilers for this film that is literally as old as my father it's a bit younger than my dad i think it's like yeah well yeah it's an interesting piece my dad just age-mogged your dad so that's great embarrassing sorry maybe take that out of the podcast it's useless this is useless critique um
00:01:55
Speaker
Should I just get straight into an intro for our film this week? Yeah, please give us the lowdown of this Because we do have a lot to get into, but I thought, look, Their Weird Mob is about a migrant story first and foremost, and I don't think I'm going to be able to do this justice by myself, Mitch. Do you mind if I bring someone in to help me with the intro this week? This is crazy. I did not know this was going to happen. Yes, please. Bear with me. Let me get my friend on the phone.
00:02:23
Speaker
Ciao. They're a weird mob.

00:03:35
Speaker
tutto somato say Tissotamato? agree. I have to say, I'm thrown back to a certain film where American is forced to pretend to be an Italian and he goes, Gorlami. Gorlami. Gorlami.
00:03:52
Speaker
Can I just say I agree with what they said in that introduction wholeheartedly. That's all I just want to say. But for those who don't speak robot Italian, can you perhaps translate?
Cultural Context and Migration Themes
00:04:02
Speaker
Yeah, this movie is a comedy about an Italian man who who goes to Sydney and he's you know he's he's kind of just a displaced guy and he learns to assimilate into Australian life. That's sort of the Quick Notes version of this. Yeah. um Yeah, so a 1966 Australian comedy. Directed by an English director. Could never fail, mate. Could never fail. never fail. um What I like about this movie is I like the way it represents the Australians and how casual we are. You know, casual in our racism. Yep. Casual in our misogyny. Yep.
00:04:33
Speaker
Casual in our xenophobia. Yep. Casual in our work ethic. Yep. Just a bunch of casual guys, casual day drinking. Yep. Constantly. I think it is on the nose that the film starts with the song, it's a man's world, sweetheart. Oh, yeah. Not only starts, ends. And bookends. And it bookends the film. Bookends the film. So, They're a Weird Mob is a very product of its time film. Mm-hmm. But the reason why I chose it this week for under sunscreens is because I think it is a really interesting snapshot of the migrant experience of Australia, or at least it attempts to display what the migrant experience was post-war. So for the 50s and 60s, obviously, Since colonization of Australia, this country has been built on migration yeah and people coming in. And the migrant story is po part and parcel to lot of Australian families, including my own. So I think it's really cool.
00:05:27
Speaker
i don't know how successful this film does it, but I think it's really, really cool that this film... Attempts to showcase this very, very large subsect of Australian culture. I'm going to tip my hat to the film for, i guess, the attempt that was made. That's about as much as I'm going to give
Critiquing Humor and Stereotypes in the Film
00:05:47
Speaker
it. You say comedy, i say Where. where are the jokes this film is basically 140 minutes of fish out of water the movie because fish out of water can be fun if the situation's good but this one's just italian man doesn't know australian lingo but australians don't recognize that italian man doesn't know australian lingo therefore italian man is made fun of because he doesn't know australian lingo also not only australian lingo but the most stereotypical I don't think I've heard a bunch of these words used not unironically ever. Yes. Yeah. It's yeah used by Australians, if ever, to play up us being Australian. It's never... It feels like a tourism advert. It feels like where the bloody hell are ya? Except it's then bad because it's...
00:06:36
Speaker
Saying, don't come here. We're going to be yeah exceedingly racist towards Racist to you. Yeah, legit. It's like the anti-tourism advert. I mean, yeah, man. it's It's rough. But look, I don't know, man. I think there are elements of they're weird mob that can be commended. i mean, I think we'll start off with the positives and then we'll move into sure funny riffing mode. yeah Yeah, yeah. I think it's really, really cool that they were able to shoot on location in Sydney throughout this whole movie. think that was really, really cool. I mean you live in Sydney right now. I'm a Sydney boy. I'm man. holding that against you, even though it does fill me with rage. Oh, yeah.
00:07:10
Speaker
Because obviously this is set 60 years ago. How familiar is this Sydney to the Sydney you're living in right now? It was crazy because a lot of it actually hasn't changed a ton. Like Bondi Beach looks pretty much exactly the same. Like even down to that, like the big Bondi Pavilion, it looks, it's the exact same structure and stuff like that. So from an aesthetic perspective, it's like, what a fantastic time capsule. The biggest omission, I think, from this is the Sydney Opera House because it hadn't actually been built yet. Oh, really? Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah, that's why it's not in this film. It's because it hadn't been built. So they had, think in the final shot, they have a big helicopter shot of Sydney Harbour and Circular Quay and you can see it under construction. And it's like, what an awesome little precursor foreshadowing moment of things to come. And that's that's I think that's cool. Honestly, had no idea was that young, in quotation marks, you know i mean? it's It's a young building. It took like 20 years to build. it yeah Anyway, this is going to be the most film bro take of all time. Hit us with that film bro take. 1966's There a Weird Mob reminds me of Jack Tati's Playtime.
00:08:13
Speaker
Mitch is audibly facepalming right now. And I say that because it feels lived in. The world feels personified in a way it's shot. don't know. Like the on-location shooting, the visual like bumbling-ness of our lead. It just gave me Playtime vibes. It's not sure it's not of the same quality, that's for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I just think in terms of aesthetics, it reminds me of of Playtime. I see it. I'm going be real. I haven't thought of Playtime since first year film. Since film school. Yeah, first year film um mind studies. i suck. Moving on. I didn't say that, but you do. I actually do see what you're saying when you went further into it. Like, putting aside my funny, crude reaction, it does have that designed to be stumbled around, but still realistic aesthetic for it. Yeah, yeah. mom and has problems with this movie and it's not there are a few there are few the racism sucks maybe it's not as easy to get over it as i'm saying but for me there's a level of i could put the racism in that box that you put a lot of things in when you ingest older media the product of its time exactly What I come up against is the huge amount of bricklaying that's done throughout this film. It's not interesting. I understand the point is kind of show, A, he wins over the Australians by being just a good, honest...
00:09:35
Speaker
Yeah, like a hard worker and stuff. He shows to them that he's willing to learn how to do the work. You know, he starts off getting knackered almost immediately after one line of digging, and but then he he quickly learns. He builds up the strength endurance. But at the same time, it's it's just a bit, oh, you know, exploitation of migrant narrative. Yeah. yeah the girl he falls for is a horrid person she's just like i feel like the love story kind of comes out nowhere a little bit at the end it's just like oh the italian woman's actually already taken let's go for the i australian woman instead stunningly beautiful by the way i just the italian woman she's quite lovely and she seems like a nice person too although
00:10:18
Speaker
Okay, actually I have to ask this. Were we supposed to know what was being said in Italian? No. Okay, good. I've done a bit of research and the movie did horribly in Italy and I think it wasn't subbed or anything. This is the thing. This movie only works for Australians, yet for some reason it's got this Italian element to it. You what I mean? it's It's got all these Australian slangisms and stuff like that. And it's like, what international audience is going to get this? You know what mean? I mean, it man it's almost like the point as well. It's the alienation of anyone who's not inside Australian culture. Yeah. But yeah this is like a fake Australian culture. look This is the type of Australian culture you find in a Simpsons episode. Yeah.
00:10:57
Speaker
True, yeah. It's up to the nth degree in this way that just... I'm not finding it amusing. not laughing with the movie. The one thing I found funny was when that racist drunk fell off the barge. Yeah, yeah. That was pretty was sort of the notion that these attitudes are antiquated and have their comeuppance or whatever from that guy. Yeah.
00:11:16
Speaker
at the same time everyone else is being sarcastic around him and not helping him assimilate and and it's interesting to bounce off that I don't think the movie is saying this but the way the movie rewards or punishes certain characters it almost feels like it's saying it's only your okay to be racist if you're doing it as a laugh if you're doing it like a bit banter you're doing it for for the bants that is like a subsect of australian culture as well like that whole sort of oh it's just a joke bro type of thing but i guess like it doesn't make it right it's just like if it's not casual then the racism is not okay but if you're chill about your racism and you're laughing along with it it's fine don't worry about yeah good this is just a more sort of sanitized depiction of that and maybe that's just just antiquated much like the uh the views in this film that's what crazy actually mentioning sanitation that's what's crazy about this movie i watched it on prime it's g rated on prime i don't think this movie should be g i feel like it should be pg at least but the man drinking at least in yeah there's a lot alcoholism there's no like swearing or violence or anything like that in it but they're alcoholing up like continuously and i think that's a funny element of this is that the relationship to alcohol in this movie it's like their nectar in this movie yeah you know what i mean the whole story is about nino who's the head of the film like giovanni giovanni giovanni most italian name of all time oh yeah it's like the john of italians genuinely he comes to australia on the promise that he's going to become a sports editor and then we find out that that position is completely bogus so he gets the first job he can get as a bricklayer and then through that he becomes accustomed to the hard yakker of australian culture or whatever brewskis Which basically means continuous manual labor, racial othering and banter, air quotes banter, and then just ending it all with like drowning your sorrows in beer at the end of the day. The movie actually highlights that final notion you just mentioned with how my gosh it it culminates in him shouting at, it was like not at his wife, but it was kind of past his wife to the person who was his friend's wife, I think. Bring out the bloody beers! Yeah, domestic abuse, funny joke. And it was played off as a joke, like, oh, he's finally understanding Australian culture. He's finally getting it. Because then his's his wife or fiancé then takes off her brown overcoat to reveal a nice red singlet type thing. Aussie summer wear. Finally, the party can stop because this guy shouted at a woman to bring out alcohol. yeah And he would never have done that at the start of the movie. He's being corrupted. He's being awaked by the munted Australian mind. Yeah, it's crazy. ah and And that final confrontation with his fiancée's dad. His father, yes. Insane. It has that Ricky Gervais writing where he's positioned the stupid, dumb liberal barista to get absolutely wrecked and pwned by his super smart character for because she asked him if he wants oat milk or not or something. you know like as the he goes, yeah oh, what kind of Pope ever got gets birthed in a tent because he's saying, oh we're going to have to live in a tent for a little bit with my fiancé because I've got to build my house. And then the freaking father is like, oh, but what kind of... He was like, he wants a Pope for some reason. He wants an Australian Pope. And he goes, what Pope was ever born in a tent? And It's so obviously leading to the line, oh, Jesus was born in a shed. Epic podunk. It's like a freaking Steven Crowder video or any of those right wing. um It's framed like it's the final boss of the film. Yeah. I mean? Like the Australian. He can go toe to toe with a true blue Aussie. Even though he has been for like the whole movie. That was the guy on the boat and the guy in the pub. and yeah And this one's old and rich. The jokes aren't great and the story is tone deaf in the way it's performed. But I will say a, like a third generation migrant, this is accurate enough sure to how migrants started work and built their lives. I mean, I know for a fact that my grandfather was in construction, you know, doing this. i It is the migrant story, but I feel like its heart is in the wrong place there. i think it's telling that, at least on the version that I watched, this film hasn't really been, like, restored very well. Yeah, there was, like, the coffee mark. Yeah, yeah. And the audio's a bit crunchy-wunchy. Yeah, yeah.
00:15:31
Speaker
four k restoration. They're a weird mob criterion. Unnecessary, unneeded, unwanted. Let's talk about some of the, because there are cameos in this as well. I didn't get a single cameo. I know that television's Graham Kennedy was in this. As who? And they make a joke. He he was like a television person. It would be like if Karl Stefanovic cameoed in like an Australian movie as Karl Stefanovic. it say anything if I actually don't know who Karl Stefanovic Really? Oh yeah my gosh. He's the guy. What about Peter Hichner? know Peter Hichner? have heard the name. I'm talking about like news reporters now, bro. I'm talking about like Channel 9 News. Oh, I don't watch the news. I read Reddit.
00:16:12
Speaker
No, I read it on, i read the Guardian. say Oh yeah. Hell yeah, brother. i Go off. It's just depressing though. So I actually stopped reading the news. Hashtag everything's going wrong and in the world. There's like three news articles that continuously pop up, at least on the Guardian. One of them is everyone's killing everyone. Yep. The other one is politicians are stupid and they're going to kill you. Yep. the third one is we've invented a new train slash bus slash tram. Slash tunnel. Slash tunnel. Yeah. It's the circle of the news. It's the news cycle. And I can see why he tuned out. Look, Graham Kennedy, it was a like a famous broadcaster, but he's from Melbourne. And so the whole joke there is that, oh, he's in Sydney and he doesn't know where to go and everyone in Sydney hates him. And it's sort of like a representation of the Sydney versus Melbourne rivalry. Why is this in my Italian migrant movies? I feel like the Sydney versus Melbourne rivalry is played up more in the media than it actually is in real life. Yeah, like no one cares. I made that joke before about i'm not hating you for living in Sydney, but I'm going to real. No one cares. No one thinks about anything. It's literally an hour play and ride, dude. I can watch half of this movie in that time. Still have 50 minutes to go upon arriving here. Which is what you did. You had to break this one up, you were saying. Okay, so I had a busy weekend. I was doing house sitting and stuff. You know, we had Monday off because of... Of Labor Day. Labor Day. Which we don't have in Sydney. Oh, sucked in. I had Melbourne off because of li melbourne off because of Labor Day.
00:17:39
Speaker
I had Labor Day off because i live in Melbourne. watched half of it because I actually spent most of the day watching Sex and the City instead. Fair enough. It hit like 1030, I want to say. And I usually stay up later than that, but I just went, I don't want to watch the rest of this right now. I'll watch it tomorrow.
Podcast Inspiration and Reflections
00:17:56
Speaker
And I did. I watched 20 minutes on the tram and I watched the other 20 minutes as I did washing. Their weird mob infiltrated your daily lifestyle. Yeah, only for one day, though. It's not going to remain. Never again. Because you watched it about, um not a month ago, but a few... Yeah, I watched it a little while ago. Yeah. It was in this really excellent... I'm sure we'll talk about this on the pod eventually, but there was a great three-part documentary series made by the late, great David Stratton where he talks about Australian cinema, which was kind of my inspiration for wanting to do this podcast in the first place. That's crazy. Oh, my goodness. But... um Yeah, and he talks about their weird mob as the breakthrough of Australian comedy and stuff, which, like you know, it kind of is, i.e. it's one of the first Australian comedy films ever made. Sure. Yeah, and so I was curious and so I watched it and I was just like, bro, what is this? Hmm. I heard you talk about this because this was actually what we're meant to do instead of Scooby-Doo, but then we realized that episode was April 1st. We wanted to do a funny. Yeah, we wanted to do a funny. So we pushed this back one week, and then last week we'd forgotten to talk about what movie we're going to do the week after. because we now We like to keep you guys updated so you have a week yeah to get prepared and all that yeah if you want to watch the movie before we talk about it. And so I'd forgotten you'd suggested that movie, and then you brought it back up, and I went, Oh, right. Yeah. You know, if Matt's really you know pushing this, must be a good movie. Nope. And then halfway through watching this, I pulled up Letterboxd to see what else my mutuals thought. And only two people of my mutuals have watched this. It's you. I'm amazed there were two. And one of my film professors.
00:19:29
Speaker
Nice. And you'd given this not a good score as well. Not horrible. I've given it worse, but you did not give this a good score. And I went, yeah he's freaking tricked And I'm pretty lenient in my letterbox reviews. Yeah, yeah you you rate things pretty high. I mean, I think I'm similar to like my average is three stars at least. I will say like that this is not a great watch, but I did enjoy myself a little bit more this time than watching it the first time around. Yeah. Just because, like, i don't know, I'm living in Sydney now and i'm I'm sort of getting the vibe. I'm getting the Sydney vibe. know what I mean?
00:20:01
Speaker
I feel like Nino in this movie, mate. He's like a displaced migrant who's by himself or whatever. I'm a displaced Melbournian in Sydney just hanging You're more like that newscaster than you are like Nino. Yeah, true. Yeah, fair enough. I'm nothing like Nino. But I'm with him in spirit, my Italian brethren. The thing also kind of like about this film is how sort ambitious they get. Sure. There's a scene where they're like filming at Bondi and they're in the water. They're like filming them both in the water. And the waves are like crashing about and stuff. it's like, bro, they were getting that camera wet, you know? This is an old camera too. That thing ain't waterproof anymore. That film ain't waterproof. That could have been lost forever. You know what I mean? So yeah, it's a miracle. It could have become media. Do you reckon they actually lost a reel? I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did. That's the other thing about this film is it was filmed and produced on a very small budget of I think about 200,000 pounds, which granted is a couple of million in today's money, but still that's like, that's very small. couple of million in the film industry is still pretty low. Yeah, yeah, 100%. And it actually did quite well in Australia. made about $2 million at the time. About 10 times it's about... Yeah, yeah. It did really well in Australia based on that small budget, which is the point I was getting to. It looks good. It's a big movie for a small budget. It's very guerrilla in that sense. It's not shot bad.
00:21:18
Speaker
I'm not going to say it looks bad. If anything, it looks pretty good. I'll say this. I actually did laugh twice during the movie. I already mentioned that found the part where the drunk falls off the barge pretty funny. Yeah. But the other one I found funny was when he's really antsy during the thunderstorm. yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's two doorways to this lounge room and the people he's living with are in there one of them is reading the newspaper now and the other one is painting her nails. he just keeps appearing and disappearing and he tries to get the cat to drink water or milk something. Yeah, he's just like fidgeting and stuff. He's fidgeting and stuff and they go, what are you doing? he pokes and he pulls his head back out. That was amazing. And that was shot well too. Because they did that twice actually. Because there's that second one where the guy, same couple, one of them's in the kitchen cutting bread and the other one's walking around preparing to go hunting. And he walks out the back of the set and appears on the right hand side in a doorway. And I thought that was good. charming. Because it's all one shot as well, pretty much. I guess it shows that visual comedy is timeless. Do you know what mean? That's why this doesn't work so well. because so much of it is based in dialogue and racism. Yeah, just straight up racism. But when a visual gag works, it works. I think it'd be remiss of us to forget to mention kind of just how sexist the movie is as well. Oh, 100%. Yeah. It's very planted in the gender roles of the time. That's also played for jokes. There's a part where Nino is running off with a young woman to go somewhere and you just hear a guy off the side go, oh, they all look the same in the dark, don't they? Or something like that. And it's just hard to watch. And of course, the culmination of the film is the hilarious moment where Gino yells at a woman to get him beer. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Gino or Nino? It's Nino, isn't it? I keep saying Gino. Like the Super Mario RPG character. That's a cool niche reference for you guys. You do this every time. References that only 50% of the co-hosts get. That's all right. Someone gets it. That's a passing grade.
00:23:15
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. You got to pull some out for your half of the audience. This one's for you and the audience that's here for you. Yeah, I see that. Anyway, but... What an interesting little... Curious film. Crazy little shenanigan moment. Shenanigaggles. This is just a movie about a little Italian guy having a bit of a romp around Sydney, mate. I've seen worse movies. And we'll probably see worse throughout this podcast as well. Yeah, yeah, exactly. What do you say to the argument that this birthed the resurgence of the Australian film industry in the 1970s? I say clearly they're forgetting about Picnic and Hanging
00:23:47
Speaker
Because this was 1966. There was basically no Australian film industry at this point. And this rose from the embers of nothing. And yeah, some say that it built the industry back up.
00:23:57
Speaker
I can respect this being a starting point. During this podcast, from what I've read, was Picnic Hanging Rock that really jumpstarted. Maybe the car was rolling, but Picnic Hanging Rock was the one who got behind the wheel and jumpstarted the clutch and all that. There's not much to talk about with this movie. I think I'm done. I think I'm done. I think I'm done. I think I'm tapping out. This might be a shorter episode, guys. I'm sorry. Well, yeah. You know Mitch? Do you want to know what I think the most Australian part of They're a Weird Mob is from 1966? I am so excited to see what you've picked out the many, many things it could be. I think the most Australian thing about They're a Weird Mob is there's either drunk or high or mentally impaired man on public transport yelling innocent bystanders about something. notably probably manly racism it is universal experience i think any stage usually it's the bus yeah either the bus or the train yeah i want to get off the train oh want to get off the train yeah classic that's a great clip as you said that's one of the funniest clips in the movie just a guy it's just it's not funny when he's doing the racism it's only funny when he falls off the boat and when he gets his little comeuppance when he gets his When he gets his dude. There's that part of the, where guy who was the immigration officer or something. Oh yeah. He goes, oh, it's you again. It's like, well, what the odds of this guy being the one who, you know, is right there? He's the circular key police officer. He's a lot nicer on the second go around. Sorry, you were going to say. That was another thing I didn't realize is that the word bloody was considered a swear word in the Yeah. Actually, you know what? One of the things do find funny is the fact that Nino says King's bloody cross until he's corrected. That becomes the name. That's cute and sweet. Like that's not, at least for me, it was cute and sweet. Would you have been given a fine for saying bloody in real life? don't to ask my dad. He lived through it. What were the rules on public swearing? Because if that's the case, we'd all be screwed these days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I say bloody all the time. Amongst other words, mate. Amongst other words. Amongst other words. Like, damn.
00:26:03
Speaker
And gosh darn. That's going a bit far, man. Yeah, you have to beep that don't know if I can use that in my PG Christian... Minecraft... podcast server man thank you for like indulging me and watching this movie you're welcome can i be honest with i just wanted to meme a little bit yeah i got the sense that was the case sometimes we just gotta watch australian movies that are like little footnotes in australian history that are just a little bit funny i agree we gotta watch the bad and the good that's part of the deal And we're going watch everything. We're going to watch absolutely everything. I'm so excited. We're going to go for 500 episodes. 500 years, Mitch and Matt. That's a very topical reference. Anyway, Mitch, what are we watching next week for Under Southern Screens?
Upcoming Content and Contact Information
00:26:45
Speaker
Next week, I'm proposing we watch 2022's The Stranger with Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris. Woo!
00:26:52
Speaker
I've never actually heard of this film, so it's a nice role reversal. No, I have heard of it, but I haven't seen it. i mean, it's meant to be good. Hell yeah. Well, I'm actually locked in. Hopefully it's a little bit better and has more contemporary worldview than they're weird mob. I've heard good things. Well, I'm very, very excited to see it. Mitch, where can our beautiful, quite attractive listeners... Oh my goodness. find us on the social medias well you can email us at undersouthernscreenspod at gmail.com you certainly can you can find us on tiktok instagram and threads at undersouthernscreenspod that's it yeah we said we had x in previous episodes i can't be bothered removing it from the the previous episode sorry I had that written down my notes, even though we actually decided we went. Don't mention X. And I was like, X sounds good to me. Sorry if you went to X expecting to see Undersundenscreenspot account. We're not going there. We don't support that. I mean, it's not like meta is that much better, but it's slightly better. I think X has the same ah values as they're a weird mob in many ways. yeah That's all I will say. We'd probably go on 4chan before we went on x Luckily, we don't have to because we have all those other options. And you know what? send us an email. What did you guys think of They're a Weird Mob? Yeah, what did you think?
