Can you identify what we're announcing this week? 🥚

We say goodbye to formidable comedic legend Catherine O'Hara.

A genius of improv and physical comedy, her bold choices made us laugh until we cried in a career that spanned over five decades.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

'Scared for our children': Stronger response urged on alleged rally attack First Nations leaders have urged governments to take stronger action in response to the alleged attack at an Invasion Day rally in Perth on Monday. Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss says failing to do so "sends a message that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people do not matter".

First Nations leaders have urged governments to take stronger action in response to the alleged attack at an Invasion Day rally in Perth on Monday. Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss says failing to do so "sends a message that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people do not matter".

Feel like a man throwing a homemade IED into a large crowd at an invasion day rally should be bigger news

Saw 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple in a cinema today. It's phenomenal. Don't miss experiencing that on a big screen.

thanks to everyone who bought NOCK LOOSE! Buy the expanded edition, it rips!

The Plot Against Harry (1989) I love a movie where an operator makes the rounds. Our protagonist moves around their world, connecting with other characters and settings, each a mini-world of their own. Each stop along their cir…

A Hero Never Dies (1998) Wine being poured into a glass while blood drops onto a table; the bartender doing the pouring, having been smashed in the face by demanding triad bosses ordering him around. One lingering image from the very stylish A Hero Never Dies (1998), which uses a bottle of wine as a symbolic bond between two criminal rivals, lieutenants from opposing triad gangs.

Wow.
SA Premier Malinauskas, triples down on interfering with the Adelaide Writers Festival which then self imploded and was cancelled.

Dead Heat (1988) My favourite accounts on instagram, TV Hed Pde and VCR Of Death, have been independently shown one clip from Dead Heat (1988), the excessive scene where Treat Williams with half of his face looking like a zombie and a security guard fire submachine guns into each other’s torso for what feels like five minutes, standing there shaking as multiple blood packs keep exploding upon each of them.

Throwing out my top ten films for 2025 - Australian release dates. No Aussie films on this list.

Endgame (1983) Directed by Joe D’mato, Endgame (1983) is another Italian rip-off post-apocalypse movie and much like Lucio Fulci’s Warriors of the Year 2072, it’s about televised death sports, preempting The Running Man movie, though more than likely copying Rollerball. While not as stylish or gory as Fulci’s film, I enjoyed Endgame more. It spends 30 minutes in the world of ‘Endgame’, where three hunters chase a target through abandoned factories, a pursuit beamed to the masses that are left alive in a post-nuclear war existence.
