All three of us are back to review DragonHeart starring Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, Pete Postlethwaite, Dina Meyer, Julie Christie, and Sean Connery as the voice of Draco. Chris picked this for his appreciation of Pete Postlethwaite so there's heavy discussion around his career. Also there is a shout out to a gracious listener from Letterboxd--thanks again and enjoy!

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.
