While working for Australia’s horniest airline ‘Banana Air’, Two men with totally different sexual problems form a friendship.
Very few jokes are sprinkled throughout a script of seedy innuendo. ‘Pacific Banana’ is not for everybody, so Tim and Dom give you everything you need to know about this weird Australian sex comedy.

Could this be the worst episode we’ve ever recorded?
A dodgy microphone chord, house guests roaring with laughter in the background – as well as that, we are discussing the dullest film we’ve looked at to date. A serious subject served up in an unfunny rom-com.
Sorry.

The country has descended into massive biohazard mania! Our regular Tim is trapped in the UK and can’t get home. We have assembled a whopping team of four (Tim, Josh, Will, Dom) to discuss Philip Brophy’s BODY MELT – a bizarre body horror with a plethora of unexpected cameos and some practical gross-out effects that rival TROMA.
If you’re stuck in quarantine, or God forbid, feeling crook, tune in!

Sons of Steel – An ambitious sci-fi fantasy musical that was seen by so few when it came out it has no real cult following – but it sure deserves one! The movie is so damn rare the film and sound archive don’t acknowledge its existence.
Happenin’!!!

In this film, a couple of classic Aussie shit bags turn bank robbers. Got some great performances in here and neat cinematography.
Consider this a kinda ‘lost episode’ type thing – its been so long between recording and editing that it was genuinely forgotten.
Our guest Tim doesn’t respond well to the movie, do you agree with him? Is this overrated? Is there a place for movies like this in Australia anymore? Is a garlic bread an essential for any family meal deal or is it okay to leave in the passenger seat of your car and not deliver?

Two Hands is pretty much considered a modern Australian classic by anyone who lived through the 90’s.
Dom and Ryan wade through the Sydney based crime romp to find out if it holds up 10 years on from release!
ACT welcomes, back to the podcast, Heath Ledger (in a far meatier roll than his piss-weak cameo in “Paws”)!

We revisit the very first film we covered on our little podcast – ‘Young Einstein’ from 1988.
In this special episode Tim, Dom, and special guest Lucia discuss their experience seeing the film on a big screen for the first time, and seeing a live Q & A with the man himself, Yahoo Serious!
(special thanks to You Tube user, Cameron Smith, who filmed the Q & A and has uploaded it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uytOIt3t3m0 )

Mini EP – Australia’s Funniest Home Video Show

Thursday Jul 11, 2019
We are coming to you LIVE (Cas+Dom+minimal editing) from the EABC!
In the 1990’s, home video shows were a weekend highlight for families everywhere and naturally Australia had its own version. We mention Kerry Packer, Jo Beth Taylor, and Charlie Sheen (for some reason). If you can handle the audio of a busy restaurant, and two guys scoffing cheap Chinese food, tune in!

Dom is joined by a special guest, Tim Cooper, for some Sex, Drugs, & Rock n Roll!
…well … a little bit of rock n roll…
An unfortunate footnote in many people’s careers and an embarrassing stain on Australian cinema history. Dom & Tim pull apart a clumsy, comedy/drama, where no one in the audience wins.
“Garage Days” 2002
Dir. Alex Proyas
Starring: Kick Gurry, Pia Miranda, Maya Stange, Russell Dykstra, Chris Sadrinna, Marton Csokas,
