Alright girls! I christen this podcast Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! Get your frock on and bust out those dance moves because we're here to talk about Australia's most fabulous drag queens. For a film ahead of its time, Priscilla is equal parts hilarious as it is heartwarming. In the absence of Lachlan, we're joined by Jake De Agrela (of Cinema Sideshow Podcast fame) to dissect and discuss this glam-packed Aussie gem...

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? No, but you will if you listen to this oven-roasted offering fresh outta The Pool Room. And as festive decorum dictates, this week's film offers a wholesome rendering of the sanctity of the family unit. So stock up on brandy and fruit cake, and brace yourself for an episode centered on 2010's 'Animal Kingdom'. Short of what the title suggests, there is scarcely an animal in sight. Although we wouldn't put it past Ben Mendelsohn's Pope to go for your throat...

Join us as we venture into Australia’s red centre for a narrative about runaway lovers who're less villainous than Bonnie & Clyde, and more loving than Kath & Kim. We refer, of course, to Warwick Thornton’s 2009 feature-debut ‘Samson & Delilah’; a film that our hosts are seemingly the only ones not to have studied at high-school. With the exception of our protagonist's names, the film's connection to the eponymous bible story about the hazards of a hair cut is merely titular.

Strap yourselves in and prepare for expiration cradling Middle-Eastern treats, we’re about to dive into Richard Lowenstein’s ‘He Died With a Felafel In His Hand’. If you’re partial to a bit of albino moon-tanning and discussions around what a post-modern sort of guy Lenin was, give this gem of a slacker-film a go. It only besmirches the value of a university attained arts degree a little bit.

ALRIGHT, LET’S GET STRAIGHT TO THE BISCUITS…

In a first for us here at The Pool Room, this episode transgresses our established focus on Australian cinema and enters the rich terrain of Australian television. And so, gifted here for you lovely people is a collection of ramblings on the first series of Dario Russo and David Ashby’s ‘Danger 5’. Gear up for an exercise in 60’s schlock that contains ample ni****ne consumption, nefarious n**i plots for world domination, and a man with the head of a bald eagle.

For the uninitiated, you can catch a trailer for the series here: https://youtu.be/0Z09bNgSeMI

And for the readily attentive, you can listen to the ‘Danger 5’ episode of The Pool Room here...

Here at The Pool Room, we treasure our ability to bring to you scarcely-viewed treats from every corner of the Oz-cinema-landscape. So prepare yourself for the gore-saturated gem that is '100 Bloody Acres'. If this is your first time hearing of the film that features the sultry tones of Angus Sampson amidst flagrant misuse of an industrial mulcher, you’re in for one of the best rides horror-comedy cinema can provide; and that’s a Morgan brothers’ guarantee!

Lisping lavatory providers gather round because it’s time for our more-or-less sanitary plunge into the Jacobson Brothers’ first cinematic outing, ‘Kenny’. For our discussion on what has become a much-appreciated entry in our media landscape, let us all ‘Ring Joyce’ and adhere strictly to the suggestion that potentially flammable cargo be ‘Stored High In Transit’. We assure you, despite the topics in our film of focus, your hosts are very tasteful...

Three episodes deep and it’s time for our foray into the Nick Cave scripted Meat-Pie Western that is ‘The Proposition’; a film with ample dusty black coats and badder motherf@! #$rs than Stagger Lee. Step into an example of what Wikipedia notes to be the Australian equivalent of a Spaghetti-Western, making John Hillcoat our Sergio Leone and Nick Cave & Warren Ellis our Ennio Morricones. Come for the tale of outback revenge, stay for our hosts' discussion about which of The Muppets would be the worst to get killed by.

Welcome to your first venture into ‘The Pool Room’; where amongst a collection of boxing kangaroo pens and commemorative ‘Sydney 2000’ tea towels you’ll find our hosts Jesse and Lachlan discussing the suburban epic that is ‘Muriel’s Wedding’. Points of focus include ABBA, star making turns as daggy shoplifters, and Michael Caton’s moustache. It’s gonna be a boon.
