Speaker: Alright. I am not writing. You're terrible, Muriel. Talk to me. You gonna do that pogo pogo? You mean talking to the cops? Could I? It's a brand new day. No, that's it. It's the vibe
Speaker: G'day fellow Aussie film lovers and welcome to another episode of On There Are Southern Screens, the most we hate each other Australian cinema podcast. I'm Mitch. And I'm Matthew. Can I just say the way you started that was like either Melbourne Cup commentator. That was kind of what I was going for, yeah. Or like real estate agent trying to sell a property. It's basically the same thing now that you say that. We're going to go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Sold to the highest builder for three dollars. much of a worth i meant to say bitter if i said builder that was an accident this day and age it's only the builders that are getting these properties you know the bloody cost of living boom boom boom explode them start off strong here yeah i'm making a political statement he saw the classism in today's film and was like i've got to make a stand on this well we watched um hating alice and ashley we did spoilers for hating alice and ashley watch out i watched that movie and when it got to the part where she's sad about her mom i was like yeah but you're rich i don't care Hashtag you live interact. Yeah. You have no say in the matter. You are actually living the life right now. Your mum doesn't care about you, dude. You're literally Delta Goodrum. You're literally Delta Goodrum. Oh, my God, yeah. If I looked like Delta Goodrum, I would not care about anything. That's crazy. Except being on The X Factor and singing. Those are the two things in life. Hey, man, I'm sure she's got other interests. I'm sure she enjoys a good... Well, she enjoys acting, clearly. Did you know she was in a TV miniseries about Olivia Newton -John? and she played Olivia Newton -John. Now, isn't that something? Was it an Australian production or did she come from overseas? It was an Aussie production. Yeah, it was Aussie. It was made by the Nine Network or something like that. Oh, it must have been brilliant. I just remember it because I remember it being on television in the market and they were like, oh, they've recreated shots and scenes from Grease and then they cut to it and it's like the most lifetime movie, low budget depiction. I'm like, gosh, this is so Australian. To be fair though, I reckon Delta Goodrum would be a really good Olivia Newton -John. She looks a lot like her. For a project I'm working on, at the moment i've been doing you got delta good room delta good room guys surprise i'm like that guy i've been i've been doing a bit of fan casting for this and olivia newton john is one of the characters in this story isn't she dead yeah but it's like a five and also it's the story that i'm writing takes place 25 years ago but anyway right right i thought you were casting her and like there's a difference between dream casting and then actually we're gonna pull paul walker do a cgi deep fake olivia newton john that's what they're doing the new Fast and Furious I think they're getting pulled back somehow from beyond the grave bro they know something we don't they gotta deal with the groom reaper it seems necromancy apparently anyway hating Alice and Ashley Instagram recommended this film to me I finally watched I Swear the other night Oh, yeah. Which is, I think, am I the only one or is it everyone getting clips of that on reels and stuff? I get that. Yeah, I see that. That movie is clipped to hell. I don't even know how because, like, it just came out. It came out last year. Yeah. It's a 2025 movie, but I don't even think it properly hit theaters until 2026. It's Iceware, The Founder. The Founder, yeah. That's a crazy movie. We'll talk about other films that get clipped for social, like, all of the time. A lot of Korean stuff. And if you know a film that's been clipped for social, email it to us i haven't checked the email in so long i keep forgetting to check it we'll do a big we'll check it there'll be nothing in there yeah it's true that's true but hating house and actually should i get into an intro yes please hit us with an intro also quick side note i am not in my current recording space so if it sounds different anyway i hate it no it's the most genuine no you've ever given me no no it's a get out of my sandwich
Speaker: In this episode of Under Southern Screens, we're looking at the 2005 Australian comedy film Hating Alice and Ashley. What? Mitch and Matt discuss a film that isn't a dour and depressing drama film? It's crazy. This isn't the podcast you signed up for. and so Unsubscribe now. Unsubscribe. Based on the 1984 novel of the same name and directed by Geoff Bennett, Hating Alice and Ashley is a very rare coming -of -age Aussie release that follows Erica Yerkin, played excellently by Saskia Burmeister, whom the children at her high school refer to as yuck got him yuck is a narcissistic and slightly psychopathic teen who dreams of acting superstardom and escaping her middle class upbringing despite the fact she isn't very popular at school often frequents the sick bay and tells porkies about her family and achievements i can't lie she reminds me of at least three different people i knew in high school and she could totally fix me bro please please please please please the fun times come to a halt when a new child enters the ring at allison's high school Delta Goodrum. At this stage, Yuck knows her limits and seeks Goodrum's approval, but upon finding she isn't Delta Goodrum, but in fact, Alison Ashley, immediately becomes rivals with her and seeks to bring her down at any opportunity. Ashley lives in Turak, though, so honestly, I can't blame her. Some other standouts in the cast include Jean Kitson as the stern teacher Miss Belmont. I butchered that pronunciation, but that's all right. Richard Carter as Lenny Grubb, who I particularly enjoyed, and... alexander capelli as barry hollis the most 2005 man that ever 2005 this film deals with themes of inadequacy and class disparity all through the guise of fun high school dramedy and while there are several films with similar set pieces tropes and character archetypes it's hard to deny it's all a little bit better with an australian accent don't you agree mitch yeah
Speaker: Did you see what the general...
Speaker: Critical consensus on this is? Look, i think David Stratton and Margaret Pomerantz gave it. sort of lukewarm three three and a half because there was a another film that came out in 2000 called looking for alibrandi which i've talked about on pod i think before that's very very similar to this film but like not as well tackles similar themes and so they're just like oh this is just looking for alibrandi again but we have not seen looking for alibrandi yet on said podcast so i feel like our opinions on it will be different but i look i like looking for alibrandi and i really liked hating alice and ashley i loved this movie this movie was great you love i thought it was a great time it kind of feels like edge of 17 just for the aussie accents yeah okay yeah basically that hailey steinfeld anything hailey edge of 17 is hating alice and ashley with american accents you know what i'm saying know what i'm saying get out of here yeah something like that yeah yeah this is really i don't know why people don't like this this is a good movie yeah this is fun it's pretty well plotted i think it's pretty tight with the character arcs i think everything has a cause and effect that makes a lot of sense yeah i wasn't left feeling
Speaker: oh that turn was too quick like no i could see where characters made decisions and specifically erica yurkin i'm the main character saskia burmeister she plays erica really well because it's a real mix of not liking her but then also feeling very sympathetic sorry for her absolutely and then she does things where you're like oh no i do like you now though you can see the redemption you know yeah she did a lot of horrible things but she did it in a way where i totally see where you're coming from and if you just turn this around, you can be a great person. But right now, you're very frustratingly not a good person. She plays Erica with such an intensity as well. I think that glare, that intense glare... Oh, that glare's really good. It's like... Whenever, like, Alison Ashley is on screen, she's, like, staring her down. It's like a good version of the glare that Emma Watson tries to give in the earlier Harry Potter movies. Ron, you can't! No, Ron! Or worse, expelled! And to be fair... Yeah, Saskia Burmeister was probably like mid -20s, whereas Emma Watson was like...
Speaker: Yeah, I'm still going to make fun of her for it. It was 20 years ago. She's rich and she won't ever listen to this. It doesn't matter. I had a good time with this, Matthew. What do you think, Matthew? I loved it. I really, really loved it. That's good. It's just so rare to see a coming -of -age Aussie comedy set in a high school as well. Firstly, it doesn't happen these days because that genre is like dead in the water for feature films. Just in general, yeah. Even in the 2000s when you were getting films like 10 Things I Hate About You and Superbad. I guess, came out a little bit later and, you know, that deals with similar themes. This was freaking great. And I love how unashamedly Australian it is. It acts like these other American contemporary films just don't exist. It's an Aussie high school, right? You know what I mean? It's just so seamless. Oh, crap. I thought I recognized him. Richard Carter, the guy who plays Lenny, he's one of the warmongers in Fury Road. Oh, cool. He's the bullet one. He's the bullet farmer. Well, I wouldn't have been able to pick it given his, you know. He died in 2019. Oh, R .I .P. I really loved his character. I'll say this. In movies, I love just a nice, sad dad character. That's crazy. So I think I've gone on record on a different podcast before saying that sad dads is my cinematic weakness. Really? Yeah. It has to be a dad that's not abusive, though. If it's a bad guy, then I don't care. But just like someone who's doing his best. Someone who's trying his best. He's the father figure and he's trying his best and he's just not getting through. Yeah. And he can't figure out why or how he's going wrong. Through no fault of his own as well. It gets me right in the feeling ghoulies. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Mitchells vs. the Machines. Great movie. Not just in the name. Did you make it? No. Have you not seen this movie? No. Have you never heard of this movie? Oh, it's an awesome movie. I thought you were about to whip out like one of your old home movies or something like that. No, no, dude. This is like a real movie. This is a real movie. Not to say your home movies aren't real movies. Well, this is a movie that was made by Sony Animation. So it's a realer movie than I could currently make. Fair enough. Fair enough. Anyway. That's a movie that's basically about a father -daughter relationship that was once really close and has broken down. Set to the robot apocalypse. Oh, fun. But this movie. Let's talk about this movie. Yeah, I love Lenny's character. I also love how interwoven class is. I know it's funny to sort of go on a deep diatribe about themes and that type of thing in a movie that is like sort of light and fun -ish. I think this movie is actually like deep, though. It is very deep. I don't want to discredit. I think it's not the whole focus. I was judging it by its cover before I watched it, genuinely. But then I watched it, I was like, this is really, really good. You know what it is, though, Mitch? Genuinely. This is Toy Story. Explain. it's toy story if woody was in it oh i see alice and ashley comes to break up the norm changes the whole status quo they hate each other they learn to love each other i think it's a bit different though and the only the reason why i say that is because woody is the golden child for like up until buzz rocks up what i think is different about hating alice and ashley is that erica yurkin is yearning for any kind of positive attention yeah it's all in her head she is bullied like that is something that is actually happening Hence why she acts so aggressively towards Alison Ashley and is so quick to be defensive and aggressive and then eventually pushes Alison Ashley away because of this behavior. She kind of has to share her mum with two people that she doesn't really like. Yes. Including Lenny. Actually, three people, including Lenny. Her brother's kind of a non -character. He's fine. But she has the mean sister. She has the mean sister and then the other sister who pretends to be a horse. Yo, pre -2010 furry culture. Oh, dude. Actually, very good bit. Yeah, it was funny. But then she gets... finally some positive attention and her efforts are awarded by the teacher whose name I can't remember Belmont yeah Belmont Miss Belmont then Alison actually rocks up and she's really pretty and all the boys like her
Speaker: So it's already, she's getting like the stuff that Erica yearns for, but then she also takes away the attention from the teacher. So i like, I see there's like a lot of parallels definitely between her and Woody, but I think it's a different situation a little bit because it's the last vestige of what she had is taken away. Whereas Woody's kind of, he was at the top and he's knocked down. what One big comparison I have as well is that similar to Buzz, Allison actually just does nothing to combat this. It's all just circumstance. It's all in Erica's head as well. Like she sees all these slides. That's the thing is where you, it could make Erica so hateable to watch her do this, but you just kind of understand where she's coming from. yeah It's a painful watch because you are watching this woman.
Speaker: this young girl sabotage herself and this friendship that she could have. but you also kind of understand where it's coming from. And also the fact that they're young as well, you know? But it's also kind of hugely relatable. Look, not to the extent that she goes, but I've had these feelings of, you know, oh, this person's better than me in every way and they're trying to get me and they're out to, like, yeah ruin everything. Like, look, yeah can you just have that? Like, that's just painfully relatable. That's what happens when you set high school as a hierarchical picking order scale. It's rough out there, man. But I think it's very funny how the inner monologue of Erika Jürgen is so... she's like this and that but the movie doesn't actually kowtow to her
Speaker: thought processes the movie is just showing alice and ashley to be just this normal girl who is having her own troubles with her mom it's all just compartmentalizing and i again it's the unreliable narrator thing you know what i mean eric is trying to unreliable narrate to us but the movie's not letting her yeah the movie's not letting her yeah it's really great screenwriting talent when you have subtextual layers of believability within the character itself it's good again as i said in the intro despite their being tropes and that type of thing like the whole oh they go to summer camp thing or or whatever it's done with this downward spiral because usually like you know there's the downward you know everything's getting worse for the characters and then we go to the up or whatever but here it just goes continuously down until like the very very end to the point where i think erica yurkin doesn't really get a physical in -person resolution. it's It's more of a mental sort of clarity thing. Yeah, yeah. Because obviously like the... the
Speaker: disney channel way of doing it would be like oh come on stage just for this last bit of the show or whatever but it it doesn't go that way and it's just content with seeing other people happy i guess yeah ah yeah or content with seeing her own dreams realized hashtag become a director not so that's the thing right is it's really interesting that they go down this route where her wish to be a actor is remained unfulfilled but she then gains solace in the fact that she actually put the whole thing together instead like as i'm sure you would want to agree a much more herculean task than just doing the acting yeah like yeah yeah although i do see like it's so it was such a relatable moment because she hypes up being this big performer being this big star she's being admired by people at the forum theater like for the whole movie which i thought was funny but the little cutaway that she like yeah yeah legit yeah that one and she gets up on stage and she just doesn't have it and it's just like oh it's like a massive gut punch i've definitely
Speaker: Before being like, oh, if I ever get the chance to do this, I'm going to smash this out. And then you get to it and you go, I actually have no clue what I'm doing here. yeah yeah This is not at all what I thought it was. There is so much more going on. In my head, this was so much more simple and easy. to get together then it shows the nuance of australia as a people i guess because we always talk ourselves down and we always hate each other and we always do this we are quite a self -loathing group yeah but we also can't do much in the real world in general so i guess we we just suck overall yeah but you know it doesn't suck me it doesn't suck
Speaker: It doesn't suck. Both Smash Mouth and Hilary Duff needle drops. Where's the Hilary Duff? Which was the Hilary Duff needle drop? far down that was that one um and when she like goes out and the rain falls on her at the camp oh yeah yeah it was a bit literal but i was like oh this is so 2004 i heard the smash mouth and i was like yeah that's good stuff then what was interesting was um i wasn't expecting to hear lighthouse at the very end when she's running away to the um bus stop i was like i actually know this song that's crazy in that era just going back to smash mouth of pre -meme smash mouth this is 2005 should have been what 2001 Yeah, although, like, how did they pay for this? Because Shrek 2 came out the year before, in 2004. Yeah, but Shrek 2 didn't have any Smash Mouth in it. Was Smash Mouth culturally recognised with Shrek at the time? So, like, music's released through the studio's record site, and so, therefore, it's cheaper for them to use their own music. Yeah, maybe there was some sort of, you know... Yeah, maybe... I don't know. I thought it was wild, because you rarely see Aussie movies with big international songs. Blink -182's in this soundtrack as well. All I'm saying is... as soon as Smash Mouth came on, I did the biggest, fattest double take in this film. I was like, how? How'd they get this song? What I'm a little bit disappointed, though, is that you're not impressed with me knowing who Delta Goodrum is. Look at you, you little superstar. I actually know this one. I do know this. I do know Delta Goodrum. Watches The Voice, watches The X Factor. Can I say my favourite joke in the whole movie? Yeah, go on, then go on. It's not to say that the movie peaks early on, but it is an early joke, is the part where Alison Ashley first walks into... the um classroom and miss belmont goes this is alice and ashley she's been traveling around europe i'm sure you all know where europe is and then one kid just leads over to another kid that was the funniest i did love that one as well i don't know this movie is genuinely funny i think it's very funny that they were pretending that erica was missing an eyebrow by just kind of putting foundation or something over the eyebrows but they tried to like do like skin or paint over it or something. It was crazy. You heard it here first. Mitch hates Australian hair and makeup departments. That's not what I said, but it is true. On Delta's performance, it's very muted and wooden, I think, but it kind of really works because how I see the character is this is just like a normal person. Yeah. This is like a completely exceedingly normal individual. I don't know if I'd say wooden, but I'd definitely say normal. Some of the criticism at the time was drawn towards, oh, she can't act or whatever. I think she acts. the character very well. Mainly the sexism of the 2000s. But again, like you say, just said, I think she acts the character. Because everyone else at that school is actually a maniac. I can see why people would think maybe she's wooden in this because she's playing against a bunch of insane people. But I think she plays the straight man character really well. And then when she finally is, you know, sad and stuff, I'm like, yeah. But she's like, she's sad in a normal way. She's not sad in like an insane Erica way, you know? And she does nothing. She does like nothing. to insult Erica. She's actually trying to be nice to this woman. She goes to her house. She's trying to make friends with her and Erica's like, I hate you and I'm going to lie about my dad. Let's talk about some of the technical aspects because it's like the cinematography in this, it does feel standard, but I think where this film really shines is in its... It's a little workman. It's workman, but where it really shines, I think, is in its production design. I think the editing's pretty fun too. I think it keeps it light and... snappy i think it there was a couple of times where i felt the movie almost start to drag but then the editing and the pacing kind of picks back up and i think the editing saves this movie quite a bit in a few areas there's no times when i was really checking my phone i absolutely love the little cutaways that they do the bit where um where she's at the beach in her lord of the rings gear when she's on her dad and she puts the laurel flowers in the water too it's really good yeah i like the one where she's in the hospital and she's smiling while all these fake doctors are saying, we have to get in all the people who have wronged her, starting with friends, then teachers. And then we get the sports teacher in drag, and it's like, yes, I see Baz Luhrmann's been caught. I see you know your Baz Luhrmann well. The two teachers, both Miss Belmont and the sports teacher, whose name I can't remember. I think they're...
Speaker: Pretty fun. Yeah, exactly. A good sign for these kinds of movies is how fun are the teacher characters. Like the side characters. Specifically the teacher characters, though. Yeah. Because if you look at Edge of Seventeen, Woody Harrelson steals the show every single time. He does. He's fun. But I think here it's telling the skill of the screenwriter when these supporting characters have their own subplots going on. Yeah. Belmont in particular. She's like screwing the PE teacher. Yeah. She's stealing the kids' cigarettes. It's all back around. The running joke. but her stealing Barry's cigarettes is actually so funny. Not only does it act as a good reprise from just like the intensity of Erica, but it like, it just, it adds great world building to this sort of thing. It makes Erica's stuff seem smaller, which is yeah kind of good because it shows how teenagers are petty. All right. If you're a teenager, you're petty. I'm sorry. And so was I at your age. At your age. Not you. The teenagers that are listening. Do teenagers listen to our podcast? You're not a teenager anymore. Yeah, true. I've got to let go of this dream. I'm old. I'm turning 23 in four days. All right, shut up. Happy birthday. there Sorry, go on then.
Speaker: four days like three weeks ago by the way surprise i'm 23 by the time this comes out basically yeah it just really hammers home how insignificant her beef is with alice and ashley and just kind of how petty it is and it sells the teenage angst thing really well like tina just gets so wrapped up in there they think the world is ending and in fairness like their is munted at that point hormones are running through them at insane rates and it just really sells how she feels how dire it is yet how small it is in comparison to the rest of the world just and has their stuff going on. And they've got this boy boy, Barry, who doesn't know who he loves. It's true, he doesn't. so i Look, I like the performance. Whack -a -doo character. Barry is rough because Barry is kind of a sex pest, honestly. Honestly, if there's one thing I didn't like about this movie and its writing, it was that final line of, oh, I'm going to use tongue next time. Yeah, next time I kiss you. so it's like Is that a threat, Barry? Are you threatening me with tongue? That's sexual harassment. That is. And will also be a assault if you do it. And Erica's like, ah! I'm like, no. And she's into it. I think it's only okay because she's into it. And it's also still not okay. It leaves the film on a bit of an ew.
Speaker: No, in a movie where the disgustingness of the writing is very purposeful, like Erica's being disgusting on a purposeful note or she's doing these things purposefully, that felt like a, this is a funny, quirky line to end on because it's 2005 and we haven't realised what is disgusting to write about in movies or not. It's just creepy.
Speaker: It doesn't work. Especially in the moment when he just goes up and kisses Erica without like - Yeah, he really just tapped her on the shoulder and then macked on her. It was wacky dacky. Yeah. Did you think that the freeze frame at the end of the movie was going on for too long? Too long? Yeah, it was like 25 seconds. I was like, brother. I was watching it on Paramount Plus. Me too. Which apparently only got recently added to, by the way. So lucky us. But I've had this problem with Paramount Plus. I showed someone Puss in Boots and The Last Wish maybe a year ago on it. and All the writing...
Speaker: had been removed from the movie, just from posters and from... It was weird. It was really weird. So I thought they had screwed up again and they just removed the outro credits and we were just staring at the screen. Yeah, I guess this freeze frame. Yeah. Is that the case? Because if you wait long enough, it fades to black and the car starts coming up and stuff. It does, yeah, yeah. I wasn't sure. I was just like looking at it and I'm like, okay. Well, that's the thing. Maybe it did and we just don't know. Yeah. Because we don't know. I tell you what, what I'll do is after this episode, because I actually did it because I'll get a free... trial of paramount plus i'll watch it for this and then cancel it i went on youtube there's like a 240p rip of the movie but it's split up into like it's split into seven parts oh yeah so you gotta like go down the poster i'll check after and see if that was intentional but yeah it was so weird they did the same thing to dust boot i was looking for dust boot the other day and i was like can i watch this for free and i don't think you love a good youtube rip sometimes it was also on clickview which was like an educational website that we used to use back in high school i'm like oh i never used that Anyway, but yeah, I'm just happy we're watching something a little bit more fun. Absolutely, yeah. Like something that's a bit lighter. I'm right there with you. I think this was a really fun and enjoyable time, especially because we've spent a whole month watching Warwick Thornton films, which are not happy. It's exceedingly depressing. Even The New Boy, which is technically his happiest movie, is still kind of depressing. We then followed that up. with that lake movie. That lake movie? What's it called again? The one that you picked called Lake Mungo. That's the one, Lake Mungo. That lake movie. I've moved on. You should too. Only looking forward. Yeah. Yeah, and that one's freaky as. Before this episode comes out. We're watching Wicca. It's going to be munted. I don't know if it's going to be like sad, but it's going to be munted. Yeah, so like this is just such a change of pace. Yeah, this has been a real, it's been a nice breath of fresh air. I'm very happy for it. I'd love just more movies like this, like Australian films like this. More movies. I just love more movies. I love more movies. What I mean specifically is just more movies that firstly deal with teenage Australiana, because there's people that are going to these movies, that deal with the inadequacy of Australia, I think is just such an interesting concept, and making fun of it, making light of it, doing it through these crazy, exaggerated vignettes. Get a bloody musical star in as cross -promo, like Delta Goodrum in this movie. Do more of these, you know what I mean? Because I think the closest thing we've had recently to... something like this is heartbreak high and that's on netflix rather and it's still it focuses on the drama and it's just like we're fun we're a fun country make it movies fun here make movies fun again oh no do you want to hear what the most australian thing about i think the most australian thing about hating alice and ashley is lunch orders they get lunch orders at school and it awoke something in me as a child so in primary school we had lunch orders and i would always get a little hot dog and a little big m and that was like five bucks and that was my lunch order every wednesday and i think my mom can tested that as well lunch orders were a rare thing for me because my parents could actually make my food that's not to say your mom couldn't that sounded really judgmental because my parents actually loved me yeah they put care into like my food and stuff look we're getting into the class disparity this is really is the hating our international we hate each other it's true my parents just were able to you know give me lunch and it was cheaper for them to do it that way as well so and healthier and you know yeah yeah yeah i they care about me they love me they actually wanted to make sure my growth wasn't stunted, you know, all that. But when I got to have a lunch, it was a big deal. always have a
Speaker: I'd have a lovely sausage roll. Oh, yeah, nice sausage roll. If I was really lucky, I would have a rainbow paddle pop. That would be like... That is the stuff, man. One of the big ticket items here. What flavour... And this will ruin our friendship if you answer wrong. What flavour Big M?
Speaker: did you have i was a strawberry man Correct. Yes. That's the correct answer. friendships the correct answer anyone who says chocolate is a favorite you're unoriginal not for big m not for big m not for big m This next part I reckon I am iconoclastic for. I don't like chocolate drinks. They make me feel gross. I always feel like the chocolate tastes kind of yucky. I think the best we can do is like a hot chocolate. I think the cocoa powder is fine. But when you give me like a choccy milk or something like that, there's just something wrong about it to me. It just feels wrong. I can't say I have a choccy milk too regularly these days.

And next week, we're going to watch... Are we watching a fun film, Mitch? Are we watching a fun film? I actually had a fun one in mind, but it's fun for a different reason. I watched it recently. I kind of vetted it, actually, because I was like, this might be a good one for the pod bunny to check to make sure it's actually worthwhile that we watch it for the pod. It went through the Mitch audition process. Yeah, yeah, it did. And honestly, one of the best movies I watched in recent memory. So I'm really excited for it. I hope you enjoy it, too. I'm hyped. I would like us to watch Two Heads Creak. Two Heads Creak. All right. Is it like an actual creak or are they creaking heads? I'm going to be real. There's actually no creaks in the movie that I remember. So off to a bad start. But I trust your gut. Mitch, as I've said in episodes past. It's a joint British -Australian production. Okay, sick. Well, yeah. It's from 2019. There you go. I'm always here for some Two Heads Creek and baby. All right, that sounds weird. Okay. I can't win today, Mitch. You can't because I win every time. That's true. And you're winning by getting to the end of this podcast. Thank you so much for listening. What does that even mean? I don't even know. If anything, they've lost our presence. We're not here anymore. It's their time. Yeah, sucked in, idiot. You listened to us the whole way through. Keep an eye on those sudden screens. We have to wait a little bit because we can't keep me calling our listeners an idiot. And keep an eye on the southern screens. Thanks for listening to another episode of Under Southern Screens. We'll be back next week to talk more films down under.
