The Castle (1997) - Ep 62
7 days ago
7 days ago
What up, mate? Ben and Chris are joined by regular guest host Nick Langdon to discuss the beloved Australian classic The Castle. The film didn't make waves in 1999 when it was released in the US, so that's why we must introduce this gem to our listeners. Over time it's become popular in its depiction of a typical Aussie Battler and still has cultural staying power down undahh. As always, Nick offers a wealth of knowledge regarding Australian cinema and culture. We also talk about Russell Crowe's early career, how Australian films differ from Hollywood's, and how important it is to be a strong parent. It's a vibe.
Check out this podcast episode, HERE, that features director Rob Sitch discussing the film and fatherhood.

Monday Jul 01, 2024
Monday Jul 01, 2024
The Searchers are joined again by Odie Arbuckle to discuss a very obscure movie. This time, and kind of (by accident) in honor of Canada Day, it's a 2008 baseball movie from Quebec titled A No-Hit No-Run Summer. It's a sports heavy episode towards the end of the review, and some highlights are: The Montreal Expos, sports video games, and a guest appearance from Chris' daughter. Thanks to Odie for choosing our first sports movie and exposing us to something new. Enjoy.

Wednesday May 15, 2024
Ben and Kevin are back with another episode of The Searchers podcast, and they're returning to the Jackie Chan well and finally covering a Jackie Chan movie. If you've been following the pod, you know these two love Jackie and his movies, especially the ones from the 80s. Wheels on Meals (1984) happens to be one of their favorites, so prepare yourself for a kick-ass episode on everything Jackie, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. The Searchers settle which dub of the movie you should be watching first with a detailed look at the music tracks on each version. Kevin spills the beans with a first-time-told story about how he saw Sammo in real life. Also, two big announcements up front. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.
