Speaker: I am the night rain. You're terrible Muriel. Talk to me. You gonna do that Pogger Pogger? You've been talking the cop. Today is a brand new No, that's it. It's the vibe.
Speaker: Good day, fellow Aussie film lovers, and welcome to another episode of Under Southern Screens, the most definitely watching Wolfram Australian cinema podcast. I'm Mitch. And I'm Matthew, and I'm elephant to the room. This is not the Wolfram episode. Wait, you telling me we're not watching Wolfram this episode? The movie that came out one month ago and is therefore unreachable unless we did it illegally, and it do watching this movie illegally would kind of be like actually kind of morally dubious. yes wow well yeah so elephants in the room to all the people that were itching and scratching for the wolfram episode for this new month that we're doing like month of the new month that's next week that's next week's episode the new month for doing the new boy this week we are doing the new boy this week oh
Speaker: This is Walgus, ladies and gentlemen. We're starting this off really, really strong. Basically, what this is, while Mitch is having a mental breakdown, is Australia has a lot of great directors, right? We have Peter Weir, you know, Jocelyn Morehouse, Baz Luhrmann. Love that guy. Mitch loves Baz Luhrmann, doesn't he? I have nothing against Baz Luhrmann. We've been over this. Yeah, we've got a track record. Oh, crap, that's right. One of the best Australian directors, in my mind and a lot of other Australians' minds, is Warwick Thornton. He's an Indigenous Australian director and he's made quite a number of films that deal with the subject matter of Indigenous Australia and their 50,000-year-old culture, which I believe is likely one of the strongest and most interesting aspects of this country. And so Mitch has not seen a Warwick Thornton film. Now I have. He has now. I didn't see any before. We take one week off and immediately we fumble. We take one week off and also we're both really, really sick as well. So I'm sorry about that. We are actually quite We should call it under Southern sick. That's right. Yeah. Boom. But yeah. So this month, the month of August, we decided to watch all four currently available on streaming Warwick Thornton films. Because, yeah, quite frankly, love this director. I think he is one of the most influential Australian directors. And I'm so excited to take this journey with Mitch today. Me. With him.
Speaker: That guy opposite me. That's why we record this over the internet. Well, it's opposite you through the camera, I guess. That's true. Yeah, very, very true. I get to see his beautiful face every week. And we're going to be watching Warwick Thornton's beautiful films every week for the next four weeks. Starting with, what are we starting with this week, Mitch? Well, this week we're starting with his most recent, but also most recent available film. Yes, yeah. Which is not Wolfram, but is the new boy from 2023. That right. I remember seeing the trailers for this. You did. I got a lot of palace theaters and they do a lot of film festivals. Do we have generic Australian film festival that they do? Not really. It's more just your myths and Sydneys.
Speaker: Well, was definitely in there. Because they do the Scandinavian one and the Latinx one. It might have also been an indigenous Australian film festival. I don't think it was there. I think it was... Oh, maybe... I don't know. Anyway, there was some sort of film festival that this was part of done by Palace. And I remember seeing this trailer bajillion times. That's what I like about Palace. They have all of the Aussie movie trailers and stuff. Yeah, they do. Yeah, The New Boy. 2023. I watched this on SBS On Demand. Me too. I love SBS On Demand. Can we just talk about how good SBS On Demand is for a second? I was really hungry and it kept showing me adverts for the new Maccas burger. not even a huge fan of mecca's i i find mecca's always disappoints me yeah even though i knew that i wouldn't like the burger probably i was still very tempted to buy a mecca's burger they managed to catch me at the right time also australian sense is coming up everyone these are the two things you got out of the sbs on demand ad was mecca's burger and the census the census is coming up they did tell me that more information is coming at that we're retroactively current you know what mean yeah that is if the census is taking place in august but yeah i love sbs on demand as well I get into an intro? Yes, please. For the new boy. That would be really cool. Spoils for the new boy as well. new intro. The new intro. We do one every week, so it's always new, but yep.
Speaker: We're starting off the month of August not with the most recent Warwick Thornton film, but the most recent one available on major streaming platforms, so take what you can get This week we're watching 2023's The New Boy. This fantasy drama film is like if Harry Potter was set during the times of the Stolen Generation, except it's not super whimsical or funny, but it's also not transphobic, so I mean tit for tat.
Speaker: We follow the titular New Boy, played by Aswan Reid, who doesn't wear glasses or have an embarrassing mum who tells him she loves him when he gets out of the car, But he does have supernatural powers and as he begins to be forcefully assimilated into Christian culture of his boarding school by Sister Eileen, played by Cate Blanchett, we delve deeper into the effects of overriding indigenous culture as a byproduct of the stolen generation. This film is drawn from Warwick Thornton's own personal experiences of growing up in a monastery boarding school as a boy.
Speaker: and the disillusionment many Indigenous Australians face between recognising their own, arguably more important culture, and the Western culture forced upon them. Through the film, the new boy comes to see the twist twisted nature of the boarding house and interacts with various characters impacted by the teachings of the monastery, including Sister Mum, played by Deborah Melman, and George, played by Wayne Blair. This may also be a contender for the nastiest looking food ever to be put on the screen in an Australian film that slop is looking hella sloppy. Side note, I know I wrote something, but like compare like the Macca's meal to the slop. It did make me less hungry. I will give you that. That's true. And then when the egg came on, you became more hungry. And then I also learned about the census again. It was good. thanks
Speaker: Anyway, the new voice shares many similar themes and aesthetics to Thornton's other works, but I believe it is just as impactful as his previous films in showcasing real issues that impacted hundreds of thousands of Indigenous people even to this day. So yeah, man, a first Warwick Thornton film.
Speaker: what do we reckon peek behind the curtain Matthew you and I are recording two episodes again today exactly double ups boys so the next episode which if anyone can count is sweet country that's it my first Warwick Thornton movie was sweet country yeah so this was my second I was really sick last week so I didn't really want to watch movies um did I like this movie oh yeah it's good it's good movie um I like it as well start from like the the most basic thing Warwick Thornton has an interesting take on religion and And that's not just from this movie. That's like Sweet Country as well. I'm curious to see going forward how it's represented in Samson and Delisle, which will be the ultimate film that we review. Yeah, yeah, which I love. Because that's that that's his first movie that Matthew loves. I haven't seen. I'm excited to watch it. And I'm curious to see how religion will... Yeah.
Speaker: the cultural identity that he has being an aboriginal person and how
Speaker: It makes a lot sense why. What I find interesting, though, is that some of his nicest characters are also the biggest believers in Christianity. It's very nuanced in that way. Because, like, you know, that's why I like this film so much is that it doesn't demonize Christianity. Okay, put this out here. I think the Stolen Generations was a bad thing. I think it was a wrong thing to do to force a whole Western culture upon... What an insane and hot take for I just want to lay that out there really. I think it was a bad thing that Indigenous people had a culture forced upon them that they literally... Okay, alright. Sorry, it's just... No, you're not wrong. I totally agree with you. Just the way you said it was very amusing. So I think it's interesting that Thornton...
Speaker: provides a nuanced take because i think it it shows that lived experience in the film look at brand new day for example right yeah like that opening scene in the boarding school it is very black and white what they are trying to do there he's like very comedically not evil but like comedically antagonistic But yeah, I think going back to my point, I think it's interesting seeing the nuance. Cate Blanchett's character is so layered. Debra Melman's character is so layered. They all have a reason for staying around. I love the unraveling of the whole monastery subplot. Yeah, the monastery itself. It's got its own thing going on in that the main Padre has been dead for over a year or something. He's just hit a year and they're pretending because he was a horrible guy and they're just pretending that he's still alive so that they don't have a guy replace him and he could also be horrible. Fantastic world building, genuinely. It makes it more interesting than just, oh yeah, she just runs this place. and The world building itself and just sort of the natural progression and the unraveling. Not only does it feel like a bloody Red Dead Redemption side quest or whatever, because it's just like so isolated. It's so vague, I guess. And that like there are a lot of inferences that you put into it. It also feels a bit Ausploitation in that way where it is that gradual unraveling of the mystery of what actually happened to you. I don't know. I got a lot of cars that ate Paris out of it. Sure. Not in the way that it's messed up and crazy looking, but I think just in terms of the narrative structure of the film. Arguably, do we ever really get an answer of what's going on, though? like That's true. Very, very true. That's kind of the point as well. So my original joke for the intro was the most maybe Jesus Australian cinema podcast. yeah That's the main contention of the film is... is this kid Jesus? Like, yeah, he keeps getting the, um, wounds in the hand where Jesus is He's quite drawn to the statue. heal the child. heals multiple people. Like he heals that snake. He heals that kid. He got bitten by a snake. he heals the kid who was, He causes lightning, you know, all of that. Is there like this kind of give and take of the universe that he's kind of, he healed the snake, but then he started bleeding, I think. Yeah, true. When he heals the kid who's bitten by the snake, he actually spits out a crap ton of blood. The world is still in balance. So there's is still the same amount of life per se in the world. There's a double-edged sword. But like, yeah, like, I don't know. It's, um, it's interesting. I'm a little hard at arm's reach from this film, though. And I find it's because i have a really tricky time following mystical characters when not a lot is explained and it's not a horror film. If it's a horror film, I can kind of get on board with it. I'm like, oh, the spookiness is that I don't know. But this isn't a horror film. I found it really hard to get attached to this kid and his story, which is maybe even the point. He's not a character, per se. He's the catalyst.
Speaker: This is my girl. to point for like films is like he's not actually a character he's mad max isn't actually a character he's a catalyst he's a false nature it's all right it's like my go-to like that's right clever mitchell point maybe it's just an australian film thing don't know maybe australians do that maybe that's the thing we do but yeah so even though he wasn't a character we followed him quite a bit so like with mad max when he's not a character we still have furiosa to be an actual character for us whereas this guy You could argue the... Yeah, I think Cate Blanchett is that aspect. I like the movie. It sounds like I don't like the movie. I did like this movie. I had a bit of a hard time connecting with it Going back to the point of is he Jesus, I think that maybe, and this is what I got out of it, maybe Thornton is saying that
Speaker: Organized religion is kind of silly, goofy and weird that we're subscribing to all of these miraculous things means he is Jesus. And it is in fact that he is something above Jesus. He's just like his own thing. It doesn't have to be Jesus. He is just another miraculous thing that doesn't have to be attributed to the Christian belief. Hence the fact that once he fully subscribes to Christianity, in the end, his powers dissipate. You know what I mean? Again, it can be inferred a million different ways. Having watched, now watched Sweet Country and watched Samson and Delilah, this is the most inferential. And it was also the most tame, I think, as well. And it's depiction of the cruelty that the indigenous people have faced. Yeah, you kind of just have like that start section. And then the rest of it's kind just a bit more about not so much the cruelty, but just how the culture was slowly... Yeah, yeah. Yeah, which is cruel, which is cruel. Not good, not good. Yeah, it isn't portrayed as overtly. It's like a benign evil, kind of. Like, it's like a of these people did actually mean well, but they still helped a culture get wiped away. Aside from that, a thing that we will see throughout this whole month is Thornton's expert cinematography, his expert eye for the camera. Yeah, he's his own cinematographer. yeah he shoots all of his movies i checked saw it on sweet country and then i went oh i wonder if he did new boy as well and he did he did do new boy he has an exceedingly beautiful eye his cinematography has the source like genuinely shoots australia like i've never seen it been shot before it is yeah it's fantastic he loves a good sunset he loves a good silhouette he does things with yellow you would never think could be done with yellow yeah he must love the song by cold play oh clocks oh yeah clocks i was gonna say paradise but you know i like clocks because we live in a land of paradise gangsta's paradise a touch of paradise that's a john farnham song right there anyway the cinematography is off the chain think the performances are quite good as well yeah no everything's everyone's really good i think there's only one part which i found amusing with the performances i can't even blame the movie for it like it's It's the part where the big kid punches the new boy in the stomach and then he gives him a rising uppercut. Yeah, the street fighter move. First of all, insane move. Second of all, both clearly don't contact. But I can't fault the movie on that. I can't expect these kids to be trained stunt doubles. Not only is this not an action movie, but it's children fighting. Exactly. There was one where was like, that was the one part where the spell was kind of broken. But I don't even blame the movie for it. It's not a fault. Another thing that sort of took me out of it, I know, again, it's supposed to have supernatural elements, but the CGI light, I don't know. It was rough. It definitely felt like it'd been plastered on... Too overt for how sophisticated the rest of the film was. Especially since it's heavily implied that the light might not even be there, or at the very least, only he and the person he's working with can see Yes, yeah. Because there's that part at the end where Cate Blanchett's watching him wave his hands at the burnt boy. Matthew or Michael? of the two. I'll say Matthew because it's my name. I was like, I thought it was Matthew, I was going to make fun of you for it because there's that part. I'll finish my point and then I'll tell you why going make fun of her. But she's watching the new boy wave his hand at Matthew or Michael. My brother's name's Michael as well, so it doesn't matter either way. There we go, there we go. And you don't see any light from her point of view, but then when you switch back to them, the light is there. He definitely has the powers, I think. Yeah, yeah. I almost would reckon that the light is there. It feels weird that the light wouldn't be there. It's just a weird read for the light not to be there, I think. But the reason I was going to make fun of you... Sorry. Make fun of me. Go ahead. Something I've never done before. There's that part where Matthew or Michael... Let's just call him Matthew because was what was going to make fun of you because I thought his name was Matthew. If it's Michael, that's really embarrassing. He's making fun of my brother at this point. Matthew becomes head boy and...
Speaker: He dibo-dobs on the kid who got punched in the stomach for losing the fight. And he says that the kid lost, like, stole food. And Cate Blanchett goes to him, what punishment should he have? And Matthew goes, caning. And she goes, oh, there hasn't been a caning in years. Oh, a year. Heavily implying that this is, like, a punishment that only the um the priest brought upon them. It wasn't something that anyone else did. I didn't think of that. And she goes on this big tear of, like,
Speaker: It's like trying to basically instill empathy into this boy. And it's a decent scene. It's not even a decent scene. It's a good scene. I quite liked it. Possibly the funniest cut in the whole film is just cuts to Matthew beating the crap out of the kid who got uppercut. not actually funny. Like, it actually is an indictment on a lot of... Well, I was gonna say it's a continuation of that, a good moment of that scene, because i think it's telling about, you know, the cycle of violence. but Yeah, good absolutely. But it's just like, yeah. Matthew's beating kids again. Yeah, was it was talking along those lines. was like, Matthew's beating kids again, or Matthew, forget it, not not recognizing the ah the the lessons in empathy and and all that that we could gain. i don't know. It was just something funny like that. But then i they said Michael a bunch, i was like...
Speaker: I think I must have misheard the name or I just wanted it. I wanted it really bad to be Matthew. lack of empathy runs in the family. I think it's fine. But anyway, I love that scene as well. I think I really like Debra Melman's character as well. Yeah. Sister mom. Yeah. Sister mom. Her name is sister mom. Yeah. And the fact that the reason why she's stuck around is because she's lost her children pretty much. I think that's really, really interesting. Yeah. Because she's an Indigenous woman, you know what I mean? Yeah. Oh, she's really fun. She's really sweet. George, he's an Indigenous man, isn't he? I'm not an idiot. I believe yeah. Yeah. He's an interesting character too because he kind of flip-flops between... He's like the closest this film has to an antagonist besides the other kids. There's not really an antagonist though. That's kind of a weird... That's weird for me to bring up because it's really not actually one. The antagonist is the situation, I think, that they're all in. It's like white culture.
Speaker: It's the antagonist. Christianity. Christianity. But it's not even. That's the thing. like it's Again, it's a nuanced film. yeah well he's he's just like not He's not just going, they're all evil. He's going, this is a reality that happened and lot them thought they were being helpful. They thought they were doing the right thing. But as they say, hell is the but the you know the road to hell is paved with good intentions. His film is sugar-coated, though. That's the thing. I think it doesn't overtly showcase...
Speaker: Firstly, doesn't showcase the effect that this has, whitewashing of culture has on the boy. In that, you know, he's been taken away from his family and that type of thing. He is is quite neutral throughout the film. I think that's another thing that like like that's part of like the alien nature of him that like I bounced off. It's just that he kind of, he doesn't react to stuff. And he very, is sorry, I know i interrupted your point. That's right. I'll let you finish. Do you want to finish No, no, no. I was just going to make a point that in comparison to other War Thornton films, it it isn't as impactful. But yeah, ahead. Yeah. Oh, I mean, like, definitely when you compare it to, like, the other movie going to be talking about. For you guys next week, for us in 10 to 15 minutes, of Sweet Country, of that which that movie is... It's heavy. Yes. It's quite bleak in its depictions of a lot of things. But the boy, though, he he he he alienates... he I felt alienated by him because, yeah, he doesn't...
Speaker: He doesn't seem to react to anything. And there's this weird thing. At the start, he's quite... I'm talking about the very start of the movie. The opening scene, he's choking out this official... Like a policeman or something? Yeah, believe it's policeman. Some of soldier or something. implies a character with quite some zest. Quite some zeal. But then as soon as he reaches the monastery, he's quite quick to trust...
Speaker: cate blanchett's character the scene he arrives in basically he's trusting cate blanchett immediately he doesn't make any attempts to really there's no attempt to escape there's no anything and maybe that's not the point of the movie i get that but i just felt like this guy he's taken here against his will you'd think that he just takes there yeah yeah yeah yeah you think it would he wouldn't be so quick to again they're not forceful there's no like scenes of you know they feed him anything really being pressed upon yeah the children in a violent sense. So it's like, yeah. But, you know, I'm here. a lot I'm along for the ride, I guess. They're pretty okay with him slacking off as well when he's meant to be working. Yeah, yeah. He's just chilling out. yeah He doesn't actually wear the clothes for the whole film. Almost the whole film. Yeah. he You know, he doesn't speak the only words he can, English words I can say, are amen. He says slut once as well. There you go. And that was a very, very funny moment. He says it to Jesus, which is very, very funny.
Speaker: I don't really have much to say there, I think. um Yeah, yeah, think. If you want to this, short and brief. Short and sweet. I think... um Yeah. half Wait till we get sam to Samson. I think... I feel like I'm going to hype up this film way too much over month. Yeah, you need to be careful because i'm I'm quite susceptible to hype. So, if people, like, start hyping something up and then... I'm sure it sends them to live with a great, but if it's... Yeah.
Speaker: If you've hyped it, I'll be like, this is to be the best movie we've ever made. oh my God. And then it's not. ah Yeah, I'll say that some of the markers of this film, so for example, it is quite so slow paced.
Speaker: I mean, obviously the fantastic cinematography, the the really sort of grounded monumental performances, that they all continue on throughout his entire filmography. So like in terms of pacing, obviously, some might consider this to be quite slow and plodding, but I think as we delve deeper, it does it does work in other films. but And I think it worked here as well. Honestly, I was more engaged in this film than in the next film we're going to be talking about next week. But yeah, it is a trend of Mr. Thornton's. I also want to point out the music in this was done by Nick Cave. He's a really bad he's a guy who reappears in just stuff. He just kind of a appears in places. Yeah, bits and pieces. Love Australian stuff because he is... I think he's Australian. I believe so, yeah. But yeah, he appears a lot Australian stuff, but he also appears internationally as well. um I'm pretty sure he did the Red Right Hand song for Peaky Blinders. um It wasn't for Peaky Blinders, but they used Peaky Blinders. Just inadvertently. There you go. Yeah. So you were learning all sorts of new things today, mate. Mattithew. Yes, Mitch. Can you please tell me the new ah most Australian theme?
Speaker: this joke is so bad this is what happens when mitch is sick for a week and he's like he thinks of stuff like you're telling me this is worse than my screeching into the mic oh no that was funny that was funny going real avant-garde with that one i loved it saying avant-garde and doing something stupid is very funny i like to do you reckon um there's ever been an avant-garden i reckon It's like a garden, but it's been out metal or something. be like Yeah, something like that. Everything's been done before. Why are we here? Yeah, let's go home. Oh, I do want to point out... Sorry, before you do your new Australian thing. um yeah I do want to point out that it's really weird that Wikipedia states that the movie runs for 96 minutes, but then it was an almost two-hour film, I'm pretty sure. right Yeah, right. Can we get that? Can we and we get a little fact check going? yeah Wikipedia, I'm not giving you $2.75. You're in the wrong. all right. asking me. Stop asking me. Maybe get your run times for your films right and then I'll consider. Give me correct information. yet I reward excellence, not mediocrity.
Speaker: Honestly, I'm amazed that, because obviously like Australian films, there's not a ton of people that would be actively interested. I'm amazed that a lot of these films have really lengthy Wikipedia plot summaries. I'm surprised by that too. Yeah. There has been a, I think Brand New Day had next to nothing. I'm pretty sure. Which is a shame because that is a great Australian film. Yeah. What's the new thing?
Speaker: but We've had this running joke over the past couple of weeks that Mitch, like we just, Mitch hates Brand I don't even hate it. I just don't find it very good. Come on, man. That one shot of Geoffrey Rush T-posing. That was one of a few good moments in the film, though. It was funny. It was funny. Anyway, what's the new australian most Australian thing, please? The most Australian thing about twenty twenty three is The New boy is The new boy's haircut. Oh, yeah. The blonde. The blonde, like, tips. It looks like something straight out of, like, Bondi Beach or the Gold Coast. He does look like he's about to go surfing. He is also shirtless for most of this movie, so he's ready to go. I know. He's so radical. He might as well have a career as, like, a professional surfer in the next life or something. being Jesus doesn't pan out. Well, doesn't. He became Christian and he lost his Jesusness. That's true. So maybe... Which is ironic. Are we going to get like a sweet country Wolfram situation where it's like in 10 years, Warwick Thornton is going to make a sequel to The New Boy, but it's just The New Boy is like professional server in like the 1960s. It'd be like that Richard Linklater film where they get the same actor back. Boyhood? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's the actual amount of time has passed. That be cool. That would really cool, actually. That would be kind of cool. And also, I just want to say also that the kid himself who played the new boy, I thought, did quite well as young man. think he did well for what he was told to do. His character, I found it hard to lock into. That's the big trend as well with Warwick Thornton films, just for clarification, is that a lot of the Indigenous actors aren't professionally trained. He sources them from various communities and groups, and I think it provides a naturality that
Speaker: is unprecedented in other forms of Australian media. That's good. How are you feeling about Wargust, Mitch? I'm intrigued. I'm excited to see the rest of this guy's cinematography. It's nice to watch a director's full cinematography. I think I don't do it enough. Honestly, I usually run out of steam and don't finish it. But it's always nice to watch an oeuvre of film. Yeah, see someone's whole body work. Yeah, and this one we'll be able to see most of it. We'll be missing Wolfram, but we'll come back to Wolfram. We'll definitely come back to it. When it's more available, we'll definitely come back Wolfram. When I can get it on DVD, I'll be happy. I mean, can we get anything on DVD nowadays? my gosh, don't give me status. This is going to date the episode, but Sony's decided just recently to cut physical media. you reckon they're going backtrack on that? Let's just get your thoughts out here now, because who knows what's going to happen by January 2028. Will they backtrack? 2028. Oh, yeah, that's when it's cancelling. That's when it's stopping.
Speaker: I don't know. I straight up don't know. I would love for them to backtrack. I think it's wise. I think the issue is that the gaming industry is such a... Oh, but it could kill their sales, though.
Speaker: Because... It's true. To be fair, they haven't been doing well selling the PS5s anyway because they've been too expensive yeah and they're going up. Yeah. And there hasn't been any games. I thought, like, back in the day, thought, oh, paying $700 for a game console, that's expensive. Right? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: No, now it's going up. Those old consoles are going up. It's crazy. But the more concerning thing is because obviously Sony owns the Blu-ray format. Do you know what I mean? So tying it back to movies, if they're stopping physical game production, what's next? Well, I mean, Disney's already said they're not going to release any more physical media to at least Australia, but maybe the world. I'm not sure. Except when they don't, though, because they've done weird collector's editions and stuff, like the Beatles they did one for, and then they just released Hamilton on Blu-ray. So I guess it's like if the money is right for a specific project, they'll do it. But just generally, I guess, no. It's weird. There's some sort of market research that we're not privy to that...
Speaker: tells them not to do it or they just want all of the money all the money all the time well if we could ask you to give us all of your attention all the time at tiktok we will never ever ask for your money threads and youtube we might ask for your money if we get popular enough if one of us is in a car accident and needs to do a go fund me then we'll ask for your money please give us money matthew is dying or mitchell it could be mitchell who will die first that's the question let's not ask that tiktok instagram threads and youtube you can find us at under southern screens pod you can yeah also email us at under southern screens pod at gmail.com email us please we would love to hear from actually haven't been checking the email have you been checking the i'm not so we might have a mountain of messages that's actually really embarrassing from prospective investors who want to give us money
Speaker: It's rough. It's rough. We should check out emails. um We should check the emails. But while we're checking the emails, you should rate this podcast five stars on Spotify or your podcast stream stream of choice. And leave a review. Yeah. Give us a comment. Give us a review. Do whatever you like, mate.
Speaker: I spoke with you. I'm really sorry. I got really excited. That's all right. We're just excited for the next film in August. I excited. excited for the next See, I'm the Segway King. We can get it all going. Mitch, what are we watching next week? Well, we mentioned it, but we're watching Sweet Country. That's it, 2017 Meat Pie Western. Meat Pie Western? Oh, it kind sounds like... I'll explain on the next Oh, yeah, you got it.
Speaker: That was easy. On that stunning disappointment. Have a good night, everyone. We'll see you later. It'll do, guys. Have a good one. and Keep an eye on those southern screens.
Speaker: Thanks for listening to another episode of Under Southern Screens. We'll be back next week to talk more films down under. We just want to attribute that our opening title is Heavy Duty by Zoo and our closing title is Heavy Weight by Fell Creek. Thanks so much for listening and Mitch and I will see you in the next episode.
Speaker: See you next time.
Speaker: Under Southern Screens would like to acknowledge the stolen lands on which this podcast is recorded and produced and pay tribute to the Wurundjeri and Woiwurrung people of the Kulin Nation and Kamaragal people of the Eora Nation.
Speaker: Sovereignty was never ceded and we pay respect to all Indigenous Elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
