Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good day. This is Peter.

Lovers about classic or love, the movies that haven't quite
got around a scene until now. And today's guest Dave O'Neil.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Why so serious you man? If I tried you?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
The lab.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Works on wax off.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It happening right now.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
You ain't seen nothing.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Journeyman can sometimes sound like a backhanded compliment, but Dave
O'Neil is a comedy journey man. No one does more
gigs and travels further than Dave O'Neil for gigs. What
could be lost, though, and perhaps this is because of
his affable nature and on stage presence, is how sharp
and brilliant Dave is. Nobody slays the suburbs like Dave O'Neil.
(01:09):
If you're putting together a bill of comics in the suburbs,
Dave O'Neil is the safest pair of hands. Dave's tireless
work ethic has seen him write two films, take Away
starring Vince Colossmo, Steve Curry and Rose Byrne and You
and Your Stupid Mate with Nathan Phillips Anger Sampson and
Rachel Hunter. He also starred in two thousand and two
Is the Nugget alongside Eric Banner, Steve Curry and the
(01:31):
late great Belinda Emmett. He was also a bass player
in the early nineteen eighties for Melbourne Bank Captain Coco.
Dave is a great bloke to spend time with and
has a story for almost every occasions.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So let's get stuck in with Dave O'Neill.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Hi, it's Dave O'Neil, comedian here and look. I love movies.
Some of my favorite movies The Blues Brothers. This is
Jake and Elwood, The Blues Brothers, The Blues Brothers. Shit,
love it. I love Castle How It's a serenity. And
I also love Gregory's Girl, the Scottish film from many
years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
She's got a bress here. Oh, take it off, tick
it off.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But you know, up until last night, I'd never seen Shrek. Listen,
little donkey, take a look at me. What am I
really tall? No, I'm an ogrel. Doesn't that bother you? Nope?
Oh man, I like you. What's your name? Trek? Shrek?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Dave O'Neil, Welcome to you. Ain't seen nothing yet. I
need to pick you up on one of your favorite films,
which was the third film.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Gregory Gregory's Girl.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I remember seeing that on television and I still remember
a line from it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's a Scottish film, isn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Bill forsythe directed and he also people might know his
other famous movie Local Hero. Did he like a Hero?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Right?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
With the Mark Knopfler soundtrack. What's the quote? It's not
Caracas has ten guys every girl. No, No, there's something
in the air tonight. It's not take it off.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
A little bit of fuss for a little bit of tit,
a little bit of We loved it. I love to
fuss for a little bit of it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Maybe, well some people that don't know. It was a
teen movie sitting in Scotland and it was about a
guy who loved a girl who played soccer and also
had to add extra bonus to someone of my age group.
We had the lead singer of Altered Images, Claire Grogan
was in it, who was gorgeous. We loved her. But
when I lived in a shared house in the eighties,
we used to watch it. We did on VA just
we used to watch it over and over and We
used to quote because there was one guy, because it
(03:30):
was all about boys trying to get a girlfriend. Yeah,
and there was one guy. So he kept saying we
should go to Caracas. There's ten girls to every gay.
Ten girls.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
That was around that magical time when you would discover
movies by this because you're on the couch and Chanale
and nine happened to be playing Gregory's girl. I did
the same movies like Mask. You KNOWLTS move discovered.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That share that share, isn't it share?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Share in their exults as Rocky Dennis and Sam Elliott
is in that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
There's a movie called one eight two that I remember
this Gavering.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Is that a gang movie?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Talking about graffiti as well. I think he's almost like
a Banksy style character.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I think.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
See. I remember the movies that I usually love sci
fi movies, like The Amiga Man. You even seen The
Amiga Man as Charlton Heston is the Last Man on Earth? No,
it has been remade as at Will Smith movie and
also Soil and Green, another Charlton Heston sci fi movie,
They're All and Planet of the Apes was the other
big one. Yes, I love the original Planet of the
Apes I loved it. That bright eyes is remarkable.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
He keeps trying to form wounds. You know what they see,
human see human? Do you've never seen Shrek? Now? Why?
I mean it can't.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Sometimes people will come in and they you know, they
have a movie that they hadn't seen, and I'm shocked
that they hadn't seen. Like Judith Lucy had never seen
Sound of Music and that.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
That shocked me for someone of her age and her sex,
a female of around that age. Was that's a maze
because that would have been huge when she was a kid.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And a huge raise Catholic and Catholicism. You know, she
talked a lot about the Catholic Guilton and all that.
So I thought I would have thought, and I've known,
you know, Jude for for many years. I would have thought,
you know, if you would have asked, you know, what's
one of the dude's favorite what's Jude's favorite film? I
may guess Sound of Music?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Did she like it?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You have to listen to the episode.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We watched the other night of the Kids, and I said,
you said, you watch it up until the Nazis turn
up with little kids, and then you turn it off.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Well, you gotta forget like you forget that Nazis are
involved in that film. Yes, because you're going to think
about all the music and all that, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But I looked at my wife when that happened, and
I didn't know where it was in the movie. But
as soon as she said, what is it, you can't face.
Someone asked if my teenager picked it up, but he
didn't pick it up at all.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So, so did you watch Shrek with your kids?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
One of them? With my I watched it on my phone, actually,
with my eleven year old.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's not how a dreamork intended to get to watch it.
You watch it on your phone eleven.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Because I think about Shrek. It came out in what
two thousand and four, sort of two thousands. It's about
twenty years old. And I was working at Nova at
the time with using Kate, and there was a big,
big guy called Ronnie who programmed the music, and he
would say to me, Neil, every day, have you seen
Shrek yet? He looked like Shrek a bit. He couldn't
believe that I hadn't seen Shrek, and I so annoyed
(06:25):
me that I never saw. Because you're a comedian, you
should see Shrek. I went, I haven't seen Shrek. You've
got to see Shrek. And he would walk around with
his boat shoes on. Kate used to pick on anybody
his boat shoes. He was a Queensland You go, I can't,
and then you would tell everyone you know, Dave hasn't
seen Shrek. Kind of annoyed me because I was never
a big fan of kids movies, you know what I mean,
(06:47):
Because I remember before I had kids, one of my
wife's friends took us to see Toy Story two and
I just went, here's a good movie. But I would
have rather have seen Rambo War, you know, or Terminate
or something.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You're hard man, Dave where I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
But I avoided Shrek, even though I'm a big Mike
Myers fan. I loved Austin Powers and I love Wayne's World,
so I do. And I like Eddie Murphy too.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He's pretty much playing fat Bastard as as as Shrek.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
But it's his dad. He's dad Scottish.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yes, yeah, he has a real affinity with British humor.
I wonder if Ronnie you say he was he was?
He looked like it like Shrek.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I wonder.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I mean, Shrek is universally. I mean it's a huge
kind of franchise.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Music dream Works. Yeah, the music.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I think he's playing in Melbourne now, yeah, Luke to Derek,
I think Prince Fiona and it's you know, it became
almost a face of dream Works kind of used it
in there, you know there there.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It was a phenomenon. It was a phenophenomenon. And also
it went into folklore. So you say that Blot looks
a bit like Shrek. Everyone knows what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And I wonder if if I think subconsciously I probably
had a like men.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Of girth, Yeah, like relate. So maybe Ronnie was gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Like you would, Yeah, they're a fat guy. I'm a
fat guy. Yeah. Yeah, that's probably a good point.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Because consciously I think I related to it on you know,
on that on that level.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But I don't think you were a living by yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And yeah, I certainly make some you know, some departures
from the character.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Look at that you want to live in a place
like that? That would be my home.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh and it is lovely, just beautiful. You know, you
are quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with
such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is
a Naze boulder.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
We're discussing of fair and we just heard a bit
of it. Hopefully for legally allowed to use it.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Smash Mouth Hey now yeah, I mean you don't play it,
I can sing it.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
You're a rock star, get your game on. And that
became famous movie sorry that song. And they played recently
at the Fame and People at the Croxton Park Hotel.
They did a show their smash Mouth because they still
tour and apparently before they came on, all the crowd
was singing in the beer adam, hey now you're a roster. Yeah.
And they played that song twice in their show. Yeah,
(09:12):
so they did. They did that. There are other big
one I'm a Believer, which is also in Shreded, but
people forget. They also had a really good song called
you might as Well be Walking in the Sun. Oh yeah,
that was smash Mouth. Yes that's a crack, but you
look up smash Mother. There's been a bit of controversy
with that lead singer. He's a bit of a he's
a bit of a maverick. He's had a Twitter war
with someone I can't remember who it is, but he's
a bit of a maverick, but that certainly launched gave
(09:34):
them a renaissance that band.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
This soundtrack is I think one of the best uses
of pop music.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh in a movie.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Proclaimers reignited their career too, hallelujah. Oh that's fantas. I'm
going to download that version. That's John Cale. Yeah, so
I was listening to going it's not you know, Leonard
Cohen who wrote the song, And it's also not the
other bloke who died in the river.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Jack Buckley.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
God you're here. So he had a very famous version,
didn't he. Katie Lange might look alike also had a
very famous version. But that's John Cale. So I've got
a that's a great version.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, who is John Cale? John Cale?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
John Carle's from It's the guy from Underground, isn't it?
Velvet Underground, Underground, Velvet Underground. Don't quote me on that.
He's a famous singer basically, you know Underground from the
Velvet Underground, I believe. And also with the Proclaimers, I
mean I saw them when they toured in the eighties
and this reignited their career. So of course they have
(10:34):
the good song I Will Walk.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
To Yes because they're walking off to the for.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The mission, the mission the rescue princess for you owner?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Oh, can let me get the strip? You're gonna go
fight a dragon and rescue a princess, just so far
quite to give you back a swamp which you only
don't have. Of course you feel it full of freaks
in the first blinz Is that about rank? You know what?
Maybe there's a good reason donkeys shouldn't talk. Do you
have a tissue or something? Because I'm making a mess.
Just the word part fee made me start to.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Did you like it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I liked it. My eleven year old said there was
too much romance because when you look at it, he's
basically a eleven year old boy boy.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
My daughter, who's thirteen, she would have loved it. I reckon,
but she was a busy.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But there's only so many people you can cram around
a phone.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I know it's terrible, isn't it? And I thought it
was really good. It's a bit slow, though, which compared
to movies these days. You see, Well, have you seen
an animated film these days?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Watched Hotel Transylvania the other day. Yeah, they're quite quick,
those movies, whereas Shrek's got a favorit of pathos to it,
which I really like.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
There is there is some pathos. Absolutely, It's got a
big heart Shrek. It's what I like about it is Shrek.
It's like, and this is going back to the all
Star song, and I think that's such a perfect way.
It's obviously contrasting. He's saying he's an all star, but
he's actually this, you know, he's he's an ogre living
(12:02):
in a swamp. But that's all he wants, and that's
and that's he feels like an all star. He's as
happy as he's ever going to be. And most protagonists,
and we'll get onto the fact that you've written movies
as well, but most protagonists they want something, Yeah, they
want something. They want their life to be better, and
or they think what they want is going to make
their life better. Shrek doesn't actually want that happy. He
(12:26):
wants everything to stay the same. Yeah, which is an
interesting place to start. And then obviously it gets thrust
upon him.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yes, all right, Oger, I'll make you a deal. Go
on this quest for me, and I'll give you your swamp
back exactly the way it was down to the last
Slime covered Toadstool and the squatters as good as gone,
you know, spoiler all that, though, I kept looking at
Princess Fiona because I'd seen her obviously as an ogre.
(12:52):
Yeah where so I knew that was going to happen,
so I couldn't imagine what it'd be like seeing without
knowing that would have been a big surprise.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Absolutely, I remember watching.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I saw it in the cinema because unlike you, I
didn't need to go see Rambo to you know, to
reinforce my masculine of it.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I was comfortable.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Have you seen a child's feel like?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I remember seeing Toy Story in the cinema, which was
like the first one, you know, this one's very good.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
This was dream where it's going.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
We need to get in the game here because you know,
Disney or Pixar are doing this in Disney, you know,
doing their movies, and it's a bit.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Of an anti Disney movie.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Shrek Shrek. Yeah, any money that he's walking around Disneyland
as we speak, there'd be a Shrek and a Princess Fiona.
Surely if they they don't.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Denign, No, Disney don't know this. So this is a
very This is a very anti Disney.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Because the guy left.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yes, Kamerberg and.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Eisner had a big blue at Disney, and then Katzenberg
went off and DreamWorks. And this is like even stuff
like you know, I mean even like this using pop
music and the soundtrack. It's very kind of like you know,
Disney is all about beautiful, lush kind of score ross. Yeah,
and they and their own own music, and this is
(14:01):
very much you know, pop music.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
And he's even he's even talked that Lord Farquhar is
based on aer.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
He was funny. I like, Lord Farkuha, you're a monster.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'm not a monster.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Here you are you and the rest of that fairy
tale crash poisoning my perfect world. I'll tell me where
are the others? I liked Eddie Murphy too, as a donkey,
very funny.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
It's his best performance.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Freck what it's a compliment.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Better out than in.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I always say, there's no way to be here in
front of a princess. Thanks, she's as nasty as you are.
Very good.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's truly. Have you ever done voice over work?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Good question? Oh, I mean I've done a lot. Not
for cartoons, no, only I was the voice of Cols
Express for four years. Get down at Cole's Express milk
at two dollars. Yeah, I did that for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
And also I was the voice of Super. They say,
I've got a very good normal voice. You do have
a very normal, normal sounding voice. Yeah, yeah, so I've
done Yeah, I was a voice of Super. I was
the voice of Bell Canton, New South Wales. I've got
all the big ones. But I would love to do
a cartoon. My audition for The Thongs to play the
Dad in the Thongs which was an Australian cartoon where
(15:16):
Mark Mitchell got the role that I was.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You're right with the dad role.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So yeah, I would love to do it. But but
you know, there's a limited opportunity I think in Australia
for cartoon.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, occasionally what they do.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I've done it once that I can remember, for Stalks,
the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh you did Dad? Yeah? Great, like they won an
Australian Yes, they said.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
What they often do is they have some a handful
of roles that they are happy to offer to local
people in various markets. Okay, right, so I wasn't in
the studio of Jennifer Aniston and whoever else was in
that movie, and they said, these are the ones you
can pick.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So they show you the movie. You know, they had
about six characters I could pick, and.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I probably I picked the coyotes, thinking I was going
to be like the ones that actually kind of talk,
but they they're not the ones that are often because
they were like you know, Jordan Peel and you know,
and so they were going to recast that, so I
but it was actually the mob of cote.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I like the mob of coyotes or wolves whatever
they were. And but even doing that it was tricky.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Oh yeah, it'd be hard, really hard.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So whenever you know, I see really good voice work,
like Eddie Murphy, it's concredible.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Yeah, incredible, Yeah, really good. To bring it to life
like that is really good.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
But you know the Shrek story, that was interesting because
it was a very unknown book and these kids, this
executive's kids used to read it at night. They used
to borrow from the library. They didn't even own it.
And I saw an interview with these kids once you see,
I'm an expert on Shrek. They I had never seen
until last night, and they kept telling their dad were
reading this really funny book, and the dad bought the
(16:58):
rights and then yeah, I got produced. It's a pretty
interesting story that these kids told their dad about it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Well that's how American Idol got made, because Elizabeth Murdoch
had been in the UK and said, there's this cool
show called pop idol whether they call it over there, Yeah,
and he ended up making American Idol. So listen to
your kids. What did you know of Shrek? Like, what
(17:23):
were the things that you what do you know about
being in the ether?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Well?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
No, I knew it was about an ugly guy ogre
and I knew. I knew that Mike Main said the
voice and was Eddie Murthy as a donkey, and there
was a princess involved. That's all I knew about it. Yeah,
because I was I didn't know. One of the things.
One of the things that my son like was all
the different fairy tale characters in it, Yeah, which is
something you do see in other animated movies. You know,
there's another one that we will what's it called not
(17:49):
Over the Hedge, High Jinks or something like that, which
has got a lot of the young fairy tale characters
reappearing because hoodwink, that's it. Because they must be able
to copyright, so anyone could put the Three Blind Mice. Yeah,
because Barney myself going, who's that? That's the Three Blind Mics. Oh,
that's Pinocchio, you know. And so that was fun. That
was a really good I didn't know that that was funny.
Why do you go, Wood, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Not a puppet, I'm a real boys.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
The Possessed tie take it away. I liked how Farkwhi's
kingdom was like really sterile and yes, no one was
having fun, and I liked that sort of social message
to it, but.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
That was also kind of a bit of a dig.
He set up like a disney Land. Yeah, but nobody's there.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
There's another little little dick from from DreamWorks and you
know Jeffrey Katzenberg probably specifically.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
But this came back to Eddie Murphy and casting.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You got Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, you got Mike
Myers playing Shrek, but originally it was going to be
Chris Farley.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Oh and did he die?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
He died, which made him unavailable.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Because he looked a bit like he looks at me, like, yeah, Shrek.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And now I was watching it knowing this because I
watched it again this week too, you.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Know, because you're committed to the brief podcast. I'm committed
to this podcast the things I do.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Hope you didn't watch it on your phone, like I know.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I watched on a big screen TV. That's how the
filmmakers like it. Well, they prefer to watch it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
In the cinema. But but I've seen it in the cinema.
I was really imagine.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Crish Farley, and I couldn't because I mean, it's become
so iconic a Scottish accent.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Well, they didn't write as a Scottish accent. I had
an interview with Mike Myers and he said he just
turned up and said, I'm going to do it a
Scottish Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, well I think even he tried it as a Canadian.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, because it does seem to be
said in England. It seems to me to be that
all the soldiers and stuff are English, yes, and the
villagers are English.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Farquhar is English and mean you think castles, you kind.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Of Robin Hood's in there, but robin Wood appears to
be French or something.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yes, that's an interesting choice asternable city for I am
your Savior and I am just killing you from this
green least we actually have on a cooked up on
YouTube Chris Filey's audition. Uh, this is Chris Filey auditioning,
(20:09):
for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
It's nothing like a fire and a noble romantic mission
to warm the cockles of your heart. Yeah, I like
my cockles room temperature, Thank you very much. Hey, if
you're not doing this for cockle woman, why are you
doing it?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Simple fart Watt gets his princess. I get what I want,
which is now, come on, what do you want? I
don't have time to set it to music. Oh, this
is another one of those onion things. No, this is
one of those drop it and leave me alone things. Well,
(20:43):
why don't you want to talk about it? Why do
you want to talk about it?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Why you answering the question with a question?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Why are you asking questions I don't want to answer.
Why are you blocking? I'm not blocking?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Then?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Why do you have problems expressing your wants? I don't?
I want you to shut up? So it's pretty good. Thought,
it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
It's you could watch that, you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Kind of go, I can't imagine anyone else doing it,
And then you listen you're gonna go, Okay, I can't.
I still think if Chris Farley and Mike Myers were
down to the last two and I was I was
casting it, I think I would still go Mike my
I think the Scottish accent.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think the Scottish.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Accent with a like the African American sas that Eddie
brings to it is a really fun combination.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah, that's interesting. I love Chris Farley.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And then when Chris Farley was attached, Princess Jana was
supposed to be played by Jeanine Garoffalo.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh great, which is a.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Completely different way of thinking. Cameron Diaz was very good
though she was, but I reckon it's also that kind
of Jeanne Gruffalo as a princess is also that anti
Disney kind of feel.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Of especially back then. She's quite alternative, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And quite kind of a dead pan.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
He said that you thought the film moves quite slowly,
but the storytelling is I think is incredible.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Storytelling is pretty good. Actually, Barney my Son made an
observation that the thing with the dragon didn't last very long.
He wanted to fight with the dragon to go longer.
But I reckon that was perfect to get in get
because who wants to see all that? You know, I
prefer the story being told, So I actually thought the
storytelling was very simple, quite simple, but good.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Everything's really clear.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
And the good thing about when there's a movie about
a mission, you know, you can actually.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Just state what he yeah, what the movie's about.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Well, I mean I saw Jimunji whatever the latest one is.
And it's not dissimilar in that they go on a mission.
But there's distractions along the way. Yes, and so there's
a whole horn of monkeys or baboons. Okay, right, we
got over that, and like this, they check in robin Hood.
Why they checking robin Hood. I suppose it's like just
to show her strength in doing kung fu on robin Hood.
(22:58):
But also it's a fun distraction because of robin Hood.
Even though it's not a musical. He sings a song
like Robin Hood sings a song like Jaunty Little, which
was quite good. I thought it's still from the Rich
and Keith to the Navy something. But I'm not pretty.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I rischter you pretty dove sills, madam.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I don't like kids moves where they sing musical like
fro again, I haven't seen Frozenzen.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
How do you have? Who would have been what maybe
eight when it came out.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, there was a lot of pressure, but she Frozen.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I've seen Frozen three boy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, that's that's funny, isn't it. Yeah, she's I mean
they do talk about it. She may have seen it
since at school or something like that, because you know,
when it gets the end of the year, they're always
banging on videos in the hall of the kids. And
I do want to see Frozen out because I'm I'm
a big fan of Olive. Who's the guy who's Olive?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Just Dad?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, because he's in that Avenue five which I've been
watching the new science Fiction.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I haven't seen that funny.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, I really like and he's very funny and he's good.
And I didn't know who he was. I looked him
up and I said, he's off the who again. I
know he's funny in Frozen's he must be the comedy relief?
Is he in? Yes, Frozen right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He's almost a donkey Frozen.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, he's very funny, that guy.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He's great.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
He was also in a series which only lasted sadly,
one series with Billy Crystal, but played themselves really kind
of like they were paired together to do a sketch
comedy show. Behind the scenes, it's actually it's really fun.
I was disappointed only got one.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I forget the name of it. But it'll be easy,
easy to find.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I don't really like movies where they start singing.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But couldn't you have gotten frozen? It's wack that then
walked their way. You could have done that. But it's like, no,
what you watchn't take Away again?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Take Away Mine?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I made a film I Love You Too, and you
made a Takeaway and you and your stube and mate.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And I was in the Nugget and you're in the
I didn't write, but a lot of people remember the Nugget. Yes,
Nuggat was a great one for Eg Banner, Stephen Curry
and Steph Curry playing.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Three council workers.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Wookie. What was Curry's name?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
He was Wookie? Ye I was. I always forget my name.
But people come up to the street and say it
to you, and what are you talking about? Oh, I
can't believe it's what is my suit? I don't know.
I just forget. And I also people come from quote
lines from like I don't know what the Finger of God.
I'm like, who's this freak? And they're like, oh, that's
from the Narget right, especially in the country because it's
(25:38):
about three country men and it's set in Mudgie where
we filmed it. And you said, well, people I find
if you go to Mildura or Woga, I love it,
because I still love it.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
You happened had the premiere in Mudget, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
That's where the guy driving has said, people in Mudgie
are gonna love this movie. I don't know about people
in Dubbo. I don't know how much. And he was right,
like a lot of the move those movies. I had
great expectations for it, but didn't do as well as
what they thought.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yes, I remember seeing in fact, I think the Nuggets did.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Well on DVD. Yeah, the DVD on standard moment.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Back then it would have been even a bigger market
than it is now.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I know.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I love you too. We did. We did reason me
well at the box office domestically.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
So, but then we had taken five or six million.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Or some which there wasn't quite that much as like three.
You know, the Nugget was about two or three, yeah,
which is it's almost that mid level of success in
a while.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
To put it in context, the Castle was ten eleven million,
boy eleven million dollars, as Nick will tell you, but
the dish was like twenty or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Red Dog was close to thirty as well.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
So I like, a girl's done really well, which.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Is really well, really well.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I love the square yilm edgend of boys and that, like, yeah,
it took like hundreds of.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
It was, so it was it's such a tough thing
to if you can, to be honest, if you can
get over the millionaire, if you know you've done it right,
and you probably get to make another film and.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Then you know, to get the three. But we did
really well as well.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
On and this is you know, years after the Nuggets,
this is like twenty ten, we did a really we
had a really good DVD kind of life as well,
which is actually it was more significant when I saw
the figures and the numbers than I thought. But so
because the Nugget was also Blinda Rammett, the wonderful late
(27:36):
Blinda Rammett. It was awesome and directed by Bill Bannett.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Who Billnett Kissed.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Me, Kill Me, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a
great film, Yes, fantastic film.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And Eric Banner So just before he went off and became.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
He'd already done he'd already done Chopper. Yes, he'd already
done black Hawk down right. But while we were on
the set of The Nugget he got off of The
Hulk because he came out of his Tralie went I'm
betting off I'm going to be the Hulk to the Hulk.
He hadn't mentioned anything about it. So yeah, he went
off and did The Hulk, and so, yeah, he just
wanted to do this. He wanted to do an Australian
(28:13):
He only had very little kids at that stage. I
had no kids and he had very little children. So
he wanted to do a movie in Australia. They're going
really well with Bill and say, he's just he wanted
to do a movie that his kids could see, basically,
which is yes. So yeah, it was good fun doing then.
It was great fun being up a mudgy filming. We
had a great We had a great time, a great time.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And you also worked with roseburn in Taway take Away.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, I don't think she mentions that on a CV anymore.
I I have funny as this though, so takeaway for
people that I know. It's about two fish and chip
shops that compete against each other, because occasionally you do
still see it. You see chicken shops next door to
and one was run by Stephen Curry, one was wrung
by Vince Colossimo. And then a Burgies opens up, which
like a McDonald's franchise, and they have to compete.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Well, it wasn't a McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I don't know. I don't know. And so and I
played the butcher, which was just a role we wrote
because when we got to when we found the location,
there was a butcher in between these two shops, and
so the director's like, we should, you should, We'll put
in a butcher character, just you know. I go about
four lines and anyway, the butcher was his great old
Italian guy and him and his son just works in
(29:25):
Alphington and which is a northern subeers of Melbourne in
this classic strip shop. And anyway, the butcher was really
nice and he got to know and Rosebyrn. She was
very friendly with all the shopkeepers and stuff. And anyway,
I went to the butcher's retirement party the other day
because I live around there, and the guy goes, you
gotta come and speak at Al's what's his name? The
butcher's retirement party at the bowling club, And so I
(29:47):
went and told the story about you know, and his
son goes, oh, yeah, Roseburn dropped in the other day. Yeah,
she turned up with her husband, Bobby what's his name,
because she's married to Bobby.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, from Absolutely, he's a from Man's a man.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, And I'm like, you're kidding me. So they've got
into Melbourne and she's gone, let's go visit the set
of Takeaway and see the Butcher. Well she didn't drop
in or call me, So how funn is that?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Well? We that is the Rose.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Rose is brilliant and I around when we made I
Love You Too. She was going out with Brendan cow
who was the lead in so Brendan kept on saying
to me, do you have a part, like a part
of Rose like she wants to you know, she was
getting pretty big at this stage.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
And well she did two hands and yeah, that was
she made.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
She's making damages. You know, I don't know why she
did close.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I don't know why she didn't take Away, she just
had a Takeaways.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I want to get back to Takeaway. Takeaway is a
funny film.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
You know, there's a big floor in it, though in
take Away the ending is a flor for people that
don't know. At the end there's a tow truck driver
character and he the burgies away on the back of
his truck. Now, when me and Marco Toil, the other
writer wrote it, we envisioned that it would be a
quick thing where he would just rip it down and
tow it down the street. And I remember Eric Banner
(31:11):
reading it because he was going to through the Vince
Colossimo role. But then he became very famous and said
no thanks and.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
He implausibility of.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
You can't how can you do this ending? You can't
do the ending? I went, I will be right, and
then when I saw how they did it, I just
went on no, because I remember who was Jim Shenbry
wrote in the you know, I don't know we take
notice of critics, but went they're right. He said, this
is one of the funniest Australian film in years, except
for the ending, which is true. The ending is terrible.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I think I remember going going, oh, okay, that's yeah.
I was really wanted to like and I did.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I wasn't you like that until the last half an
hour like yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Well, to be honest, the last you know, and you know,
it's been one I've watched it. I probably did send
it twice.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Watch it on your phone. I reckon it was.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
We actually made it to be watched on fines.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
For twenty years, but yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That was the only up until that point. It's a
really it's a really funny film. But yeah, so I
kind of I thought Brendan was kind of joking. I
thought Rose is not going to come and do it,
you know, a cameo, but he kept on asking. I thought, okay,
well so you're serious, and she goes, yeah, Rose came
to set one day. She we're hanging out, you know,
she goes, he got a roll for me or not?
(32:28):
And I was like, are you serious, like and she says, yeah,
like really wondering, I really want you, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So she played.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We gave her a role that was Yvonsta Hosky, who's
now getting nominated all the time for a Handmaid's Tale.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
She's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah, she's brilliant. Yeah she's great and Peter dinklind was
in as.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Well.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
That was the last one he did before Game of Thrones.
And so Rose is in the film. She in the
back of a cab. We kind of dressed her up
kind of anime, kind of in this anime, but we had.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
To kind of let an actress kind of.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Go to kind of been replaced by Yeah, we made
the roll.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
A bit bigger, so it wasn't like a you know,
huge role, but and Rose kind of made it. She's
just like swearing her little heart out in the back
seat and little Ron Jacobson's in the front seat coppying
it all. But she's an absolute delight. And around that
time she was just starting maybe to get in the
comedy or wanted to get into the comedy. And she'd
made I think a film with Judd Apatao, her first
(33:26):
one that she made. I forget it was maybe it
was Getting to the Greek or maybe it was something
in before that. Yeah, And I was lucky enough to
have dinner with Judd Apatao.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Are you talking to the foot, didn't you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
The paper, But I had dinner with him.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
I think we've rove and we're kind with chatting about Rose,
and he just was saying how funny she was. And
I was chatting to the Brendan and so Judd was
saying how funny, like how hilarious Rose, because it hadn't
come out yet, and and Rose was actually in the
cardig No, she was in the car. She was really
she was excited to hear you know that, you know
how funny Judd thought she was, and then she made like.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Hilariotastic.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
It's almost weird to think that she started.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
She started almost like in these like little often like
grim little dramas.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Two Hands, Yeah, I mean two Hands is an absolutely classic.
So take Away. People should watch Takeaway and you know,
I don't have to.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Imagine a different ending and and tweet me or send me.
But what did you?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
People should come up with an alternative ending to take Away.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Pitch your alternative endings. I'm going to set up an
email for the show.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Well, it's interesting because you don't see many Australian comedies
that must of these days because much back in when
we made them, it was easy to get money for this.
It was still a very hard process, but there was
The Macquarie Bank funded a lot of films. They funded
a lot of those films back then.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I've been told that the films there after now film
that kind of play to older audiences.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
I write like a girl, Yes, the story, it's.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Strange storytelling, you know, but play a bit old sapphires.
Yeah wrong, let's show off the country a little bit.
Or they'll tell a well known Australian story. They're not
necessary after genre films, but.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
When you're seeing Australian comedy, I still love it. I
still you know. That's why I said The Other Castle
is one of my favorite movies. One of my other
favorite movies when I was a teenager was The Adventures
of bas Mackenzie, which is Barry Crockert. Barry Humphries wrote it,
and it's about this. Barry Crocker plays is Ossie Bogan.
It was a Bogan before Bogan's were even a thing.
Going to London where he meets the Queen and you know,
(35:39):
it's a farce. It's very funny though urinates on a
TV set. He gets asked to go on a talk
show and it's very funny movie.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I always I think I reviewed that for they must
have re released it and I reviewed it for a Live
many years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And like, and I never watched it, so it was
it was it's from the seventies, but funny seventies. Yeah.
So you mentioned also Blues Brothers as one of the brothers.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Yeah, I love the Brutes. I remember I saw Blues
Brothers of the movies when it came out because I
was in high school. And then a guy got a
it won't even been a beta copy. He had a
very early video record, and we will go around to
his house and watch it over and over. And now
with my kids, I've got teenagers and eleven year old.
They love it. They love the Blues Brothers. It's still funny. Yeah,
it's still funny. It's got good music, there's good dancing,
(36:26):
and there's good car crashes in car chases.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
There's a great book that I'm just a fish reading
called Wild and Crazy Guys.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I love that book.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I read they read it.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, yeah, and that basically tracks that period of America.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Murphy Chase.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
You know a lot of I said in live guys
who became superstars, and that gets it.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
That gets a good.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
People still still quote the Blues Brothers. You're still you know,
this place has got everything. Yeah, that's the Blues Brothers
Orange orange Web, orange web.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Oh it's an orange web, orange web, orange web.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Three orange webs had other more abscure ones, like you know,
I fucking hate Illinois Nazis.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I must say.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Bluesbrothers has come up a couple of times. I chat
the people about it.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
You blasphem me. You know, I was it?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Never?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
It was never a film on my absolute favorites. For
some reason, I think I saw because I think I
saw it in bits. I think I saw bits and
pieces of it.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
And it's also an age thing too, I reckon when
films are when you're absolutely your absolute peak of being influenced,
when you're at senior high school in first years of
union work or whatever. It's that kind of period. Like
there was also Revenge of the Nerds came out in
like eighty four eighty I love that eighty four eighty five.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I remember Mate telling me he wanted to go down
to the Greensboro Bolk Store to rent Revenge of the Nerds,
this new movie, and I didn't even know what there were.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Nerds meant. I thought it was a horror film.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah, well nerds weren't a thing. Because my son going
to me, were you a nerd of high school. I said,
it wasn't a thing. There weren't nerds there, but they
weren't called nerds. Yeah, there was not. It was until
that movie came out, especially in Australia. Nerds were not
a thing. They weren't a group of people really well,
I mean there's there was still like a computer club
at school, so they were nerves, but they didn't call
themselves nerds.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Who's your favorite and character and inveng In.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Probably Boger and from the Lambda Mood Team, Dudley Dawson,
Bogger Bogger. I love Animal Houses, right, Yeah, all those
movies from from back then.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
They kind of kicked off the whole National Lampoons thing, didn't, but.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
You watch some of them now. Like so, I'm always
looking for movies to watch with the kids, Like I
love grandhog Day, which is I'm sure people mentioned that,
but you watch it now. It's a little bit dodgy
in the me too generation.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
It's there are so many it's.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Very very dodgy. It's like see the Blues Brothers is
the bluesmo has got no sort of sleaziness or sexual
sort of stuff, whereas Grand Old Day is all about
when he finally sleeps with Annie McDowell, everything comes good.
This is him trying to win her over for the
whole movie.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Do you find yourself watching movies now and sometimes that
leaps out at you. Sometimes your mind just goes there
about the say, let's got it sexual politics now and
then me too, and kind of going, oh, wow, that
that I've never thought about. There's even a moment I
was watching Heat because Dave Thornton hasn't seen Heat, so
he hasn't seen Heat.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
One of the greatest crime movies of all time.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
This is a part where Amy Brennerman's character Edie is
trying to get away from de Niro and he kind
of like, you know, he's basically chasing her and basically
you know, she's kind of crawling through the reads and
and he kind of like grabs her and he kind
of like holds it, you know, and that we've seen
that scene in many movies, and she eventually coccumbs and
(39:48):
she's you know, kind of stays with them, And yeah,
it does go to a point where in a scene
or two later where de Niro is saying to her,
you know, you can say or you can go, and
it's your choice, So that kind of helps corrected. But
that kind of scene the often see movies where where
men basically in prison.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Oh yeah, a woman, But.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
We talk about Gregory's girl. I mean, how DoD you
with that?
Speaker 2 (40:09):
I don't think they're making making Gregory's girl at the time.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Soon there's a scene where there'll be a lot more fuss.
I have a little bit of TI.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
There's a there's a scene where they all go, the
boys and the teenage boys go and sit on this
hill with pinoculars and look at a nurse's quarter and
and there's a woman with a bra on and he's
and they're just going to take it off, take it off,
take it off, take it off.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
She's got a brassier. Oh, take it off, take it off.
Transmit teller to cheek off her brak off your brazier,
concentrate your bust, and concentrate.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Mate. And they all leave and eventually she takes it
off and her underpants as well, and they get very excited.
But imagine that these days, there's no way, no, they're
like perverts.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
I know, and you know that might anger some people,
but I think you know, if we all disvolve, you
won't know.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
There'll be other made a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Movies can do, mate, It's been a pleasure to sit
down and chat movies with you.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Been great fun. I love it, you know, I love movies.
I love The last movie I saw too was Little Women.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I've been in the seat.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
That's great. Well, I've got a teenage daughter who absolutely
loved it. But it is. It is a great remake.
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
I love Greta. Ladybird was one of the best films
of that year.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Again, haven't seen it, but I've check out Lady Bird.
I'm gonna watch it on my phone.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Now, can you start watching movies on your phone?
Speaker 2 (41:34):
I can handle watching a scene from a movie on
a phone.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Oh god, yeah, anyway, yeah, I should stop. Look, my
TV is quite small too. I tweeted the photo the
other day because people were harassing Hugy about the size
of his TV. And my TV is quite small too.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
She's got a small TV, yeah, he's got well.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
In comparison to the wall that it was hanging off.
It's quite small. Yeah, but I've got a smaller one.
I reckon, but you get used to it. That's it
cuts out the left bit of the screen. But anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Have watched movies on my phone for work. Sometimes I said,
you were linked to watch a movie, and I that's
just the way the link, that is what you can do.
The link is not working on the TV, so I
watch You're a busy man, forgiven, You're forgiven. Thank you
so much for coming in and there?
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Would you write another movie? Well? Have you? No?
Speaker 3 (42:25):
I get ideas for them, but the way we write.
We also wrote You and Your Stupor Mate, which also
came out, and it was easy back then because we
had a producer director guy who just did it, did
all that grunt work and we just had to write
them and we got paid, so it was easy. Whereas
to actually sit down and write another one, Yeah, I
don't know. I'd love to do it, but it's it's
(42:46):
just a hard thing to do, don't you reckon? You
did one, and did you ever? You must have thought
about a second one.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I've thought about.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
The thing I think about that the most is you
need a film that has a real hook like these.
I think I love you too, and I'm really proud
of it, and I get lots of lovely feedback still
from it and about it. But I think the thing
stopping it from a village had really high hopes for it,
(43:13):
you know, becoming a bigger thing. Was it just didn't
have that big hook really, besides the fact that it's
an austrained wrong com we don't make these at all.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
But it's not about the girl, the first girl to
win the Cup, no, you know what I mean, which
is a great hook for a right like a girl.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Absolutely everyone wants to see that story.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Well, I remember, I think it was the Christmas after
that Melbourne Cup when Michelle Paine became the first woman
ever to win the Melbourne Cup. My dad and I
were discussing and my family were discussing, you know, they
got to do it as a movie, and like what
we would focus on and what we you know, you know,
and we kind of had different ideas of what you
would actually focus on.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
But as we're discussing, I thought, I wonder who's going
to get the right? Yeah, Rachel Griff probably a week
later I had the rights for the week earlier. Excellent mate.
Thank you so much. Go catch Davanil whenever you around.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Get a chance of the Fairfield Funhouse if you are
in that area. Good to see comedy on the north.

Movie Podcast, where we chat to movie.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Lovers about classic or love, the movies that haven't quite
got around a scene until now. And today's guest Dave O'Neil.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Why so serious you man? If I tried you?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
The lab.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Works on wax off.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It happening right now.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
You ain't seen nothing.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Journeyman can sometimes sound like a backhanded compliment, but Dave
O'Neil is a comedy journey man. No one does more
gigs and travels further than Dave O'Neil for gigs. What
could be lost, though, and perhaps this is because of
his affable nature and on stage presence, is how sharp
and brilliant Dave is. Nobody slays the suburbs like Dave O'Neil.
(01:09):
If you're putting together a bill of comics in the suburbs,
Dave O'Neil is the safest pair of hands. Dave's tireless
work ethic has seen him write two films, take Away
starring Vince Colossmo, Steve Curry and Rose Byrne and You
and Your Stupid Mate with Nathan Phillips Anger Sampson and
Rachel Hunter. He also starred in two thousand and two
Is the Nugget alongside Eric Banner, Steve Curry and the
(01:31):
late great Belinda Emmett. He was also a bass player
in the early nineteen eighties for Melbourne Bank Captain Coco.
Dave is a great bloke to spend time with and
has a story for almost every occasions.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So let's get stuck in with Dave O'Neill.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Hi, it's Dave O'Neil, comedian here and look. I love movies.
Some of my favorite movies The Blues Brothers. This is
Jake and Elwood, The Blues Brothers, The Blues Brothers. Shit,
love it. I love Castle How It's a serenity. And
I also love Gregory's Girl, the Scottish film from many
years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
She's got a bress here. Oh, take it off, tick
it off.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But you know, up until last night, I'd never seen Shrek. Listen,
little donkey, take a look at me. What am I
really tall? No, I'm an ogrel. Doesn't that bother you? Nope?
Oh man, I like you. What's your name? Trek? Shrek?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Dave O'Neil, Welcome to you. Ain't seen nothing yet. I
need to pick you up on one of your favorite films,
which was the third film.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Gregory Gregory's Girl.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I remember seeing that on television and I still remember
a line from it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's a Scottish film, isn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Bill forsythe directed and he also people might know his
other famous movie Local Hero. Did he like a Hero?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Right?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
With the Mark Knopfler soundtrack. What's the quote? It's not
Caracas has ten guys every girl. No, No, there's something
in the air tonight. It's not take it off.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
A little bit of fuss for a little bit of tit,
a little bit of We loved it. I love to
fuss for a little bit of it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Maybe, well some people that don't know. It was a
teen movie sitting in Scotland and it was about a
guy who loved a girl who played soccer and also
had to add extra bonus to someone of my age group.
We had the lead singer of Altered Images, Claire Grogan
was in it, who was gorgeous. We loved her. But
when I lived in a shared house in the eighties,
we used to watch it. We did on VA just
we used to watch it over and over and We
used to quote because there was one guy, because it
(03:30):
was all about boys trying to get a girlfriend. Yeah,
and there was one guy. So he kept saying we
should go to Caracas. There's ten girls to every gay.
Ten girls.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
That was around that magical time when you would discover
movies by this because you're on the couch and Chanale
and nine happened to be playing Gregory's girl. I did
the same movies like Mask. You KNOWLTS move discovered.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That share that share, isn't it share?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Share in their exults as Rocky Dennis and Sam Elliott
is in that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
There's a movie called one eight two that I remember
this Gavering.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Is that a gang movie?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Talking about graffiti as well. I think he's almost like
a Banksy style character.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I think.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
See. I remember the movies that I usually love sci
fi movies, like The Amiga Man. You even seen The
Amiga Man as Charlton Heston is the Last Man on Earth? No,
it has been remade as at Will Smith movie and
also Soil and Green, another Charlton Heston sci fi movie,
They're All and Planet of the Apes was the other
big one. Yes, I love the original Planet of the
Apes I loved it. That bright eyes is remarkable.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
He keeps trying to form wounds. You know what they see,
human see human? Do you've never seen Shrek? Now? Why?
I mean it can't.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Sometimes people will come in and they you know, they
have a movie that they hadn't seen, and I'm shocked
that they hadn't seen. Like Judith Lucy had never seen
Sound of Music and that.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
That shocked me for someone of her age and her sex,
a female of around that age. Was that's a maze
because that would have been huge when she was a kid.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And a huge raise Catholic and Catholicism. You know, she
talked a lot about the Catholic Guilton and all that.
So I thought I would have thought, and I've known,
you know, Jude for for many years. I would have thought,
you know, if you would have asked, you know, what's
one of the dude's favorite what's Jude's favorite film? I
may guess Sound of Music?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Did she like it?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You have to listen to the episode.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We watched the other night of the Kids, and I said,
you said, you watch it up until the Nazis turn
up with little kids, and then you turn it off.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Well, you gotta forget like you forget that Nazis are
involved in that film. Yes, because you're going to think
about all the music and all that, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But I looked at my wife when that happened, and
I didn't know where it was in the movie. But
as soon as she said, what is it, you can't face.
Someone asked if my teenager picked it up, but he
didn't pick it up at all.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So, so did you watch Shrek with your kids?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
One of them? With my I watched it on my phone, actually,
with my eleven year old.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's not how a dreamork intended to get to watch it.
You watch it on your phone eleven.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Because I think about Shrek. It came out in what
two thousand and four, sort of two thousands. It's about
twenty years old. And I was working at Nova at
the time with using Kate, and there was a big,
big guy called Ronnie who programmed the music, and he
would say to me, Neil, every day, have you seen
Shrek yet? He looked like Shrek a bit. He couldn't
believe that I hadn't seen Shrek, and I so annoyed
(06:25):
me that I never saw. Because you're a comedian, you
should see Shrek. I went, I haven't seen Shrek. You've
got to see Shrek. And he would walk around with
his boat shoes on. Kate used to pick on anybody
his boat shoes. He was a Queensland You go, I can't,
and then you would tell everyone you know, Dave hasn't
seen Shrek. Kind of annoyed me because I was never
a big fan of kids movies, you know what I mean,
(06:47):
Because I remember before I had kids, one of my
wife's friends took us to see Toy Story two and
I just went, here's a good movie. But I would
have rather have seen Rambo War, you know, or Terminate
or something.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You're hard man, Dave where I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
But I avoided Shrek, even though I'm a big Mike
Myers fan. I loved Austin Powers and I love Wayne's World,
so I do. And I like Eddie Murphy too.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He's pretty much playing fat Bastard as as as Shrek.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
But it's his dad. He's dad Scottish.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yes, yeah, he has a real affinity with British humor.
I wonder if Ronnie you say he was he was?
He looked like it like Shrek.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I wonder.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I mean, Shrek is universally. I mean it's a huge
kind of franchise.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Music dream Works. Yeah, the music.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I think he's playing in Melbourne now, yeah, Luke to Derek,
I think Prince Fiona and it's you know, it became
almost a face of dream Works kind of used it
in there, you know there there.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It was a phenomenon. It was a phenophenomenon. And also
it went into folklore. So you say that Blot looks
a bit like Shrek. Everyone knows what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And I wonder if if I think subconsciously I probably
had a like men.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Of girth, Yeah, like relate. So maybe Ronnie was gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Like you would, Yeah, they're a fat guy. I'm a
fat guy. Yeah. Yeah, that's probably a good point.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Because consciously I think I related to it on you know,
on that on that level.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But I don't think you were a living by yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And yeah, I certainly make some you know, some departures
from the character.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Look at that you want to live in a place
like that? That would be my home.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh and it is lovely, just beautiful. You know, you
are quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with
such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is
a Naze boulder.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
We're discussing of fair and we just heard a bit
of it. Hopefully for legally allowed to use it.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Smash Mouth Hey now yeah, I mean you don't play it,
I can sing it.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
You're a rock star, get your game on. And that
became famous movie sorry that song. And they played recently
at the Fame and People at the Croxton Park Hotel.
They did a show their smash Mouth because they still
tour and apparently before they came on, all the crowd
was singing in the beer adam, hey now you're a roster. Yeah.
And they played that song twice in their show. Yeah,
(09:12):
so they did. They did that. There are other big
one I'm a Believer, which is also in Shreded, but
people forget. They also had a really good song called
you might as Well be Walking in the Sun. Oh yeah,
that was smash Mouth. Yes that's a crack, but you
look up smash Mother. There's been a bit of controversy
with that lead singer. He's a bit of a he's
a bit of a maverick. He's had a Twitter war
with someone I can't remember who it is, but he's
a bit of a maverick, but that certainly launched gave
(09:34):
them a renaissance that band.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
This soundtrack is I think one of the best uses
of pop music.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh in a movie.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Proclaimers reignited their career too, hallelujah. Oh that's fantas. I'm
going to download that version. That's John Cale. Yeah, so
I was listening to going it's not you know, Leonard
Cohen who wrote the song, And it's also not the
other bloke who died in the river.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Jack Buckley.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
God you're here. So he had a very famous version,
didn't he. Katie Lange might look alike also had a
very famous version. But that's John Cale. So I've got
a that's a great version.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, who is John Cale? John Cale?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
John Carle's from It's the guy from Underground, isn't it?
Velvet Underground, Underground, Velvet Underground. Don't quote me on that.
He's a famous singer basically, you know Underground from the
Velvet Underground, I believe. And also with the Proclaimers, I
mean I saw them when they toured in the eighties
and this reignited their career. So of course they have
(10:34):
the good song I Will Walk.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
To Yes because they're walking off to the for.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The mission, the mission the rescue princess for you owner?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Oh, can let me get the strip? You're gonna go
fight a dragon and rescue a princess, just so far
quite to give you back a swamp which you only
don't have. Of course you feel it full of freaks
in the first blinz Is that about rank? You know what?
Maybe there's a good reason donkeys shouldn't talk. Do you
have a tissue or something? Because I'm making a mess.
Just the word part fee made me start to.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Did you like it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I liked it. My eleven year old said there was
too much romance because when you look at it, he's
basically a eleven year old boy boy.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
My daughter, who's thirteen, she would have loved it. I reckon,
but she was a busy.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But there's only so many people you can cram around
a phone.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I know it's terrible, isn't it? And I thought it
was really good. It's a bit slow, though, which compared
to movies these days. You see, Well, have you seen
an animated film these days?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Watched Hotel Transylvania the other day. Yeah, they're quite quick,
those movies, whereas Shrek's got a favorit of pathos to it,
which I really like.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
There is there is some pathos. Absolutely, It's got a
big heart Shrek. It's what I like about it is Shrek.
It's like, and this is going back to the all
Star song, and I think that's such a perfect way.
It's obviously contrasting. He's saying he's an all star, but
he's actually this, you know, he's he's an ogre living
(12:02):
in a swamp. But that's all he wants, and that's
and that's he feels like an all star. He's as
happy as he's ever going to be. And most protagonists,
and we'll get onto the fact that you've written movies
as well, but most protagonists they want something, Yeah, they
want something. They want their life to be better, and
or they think what they want is going to make
their life better. Shrek doesn't actually want that happy. He
(12:26):
wants everything to stay the same. Yeah, which is an
interesting place to start. And then obviously it gets thrust
upon him.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yes, all right, Oger, I'll make you a deal. Go
on this quest for me, and I'll give you your swamp
back exactly the way it was down to the last
Slime covered Toadstool and the squatters as good as gone,
you know, spoiler all that, though, I kept looking at
Princess Fiona because I'd seen her obviously as an ogre.
(12:52):
Yeah where so I knew that was going to happen,
so I couldn't imagine what it'd be like seeing without
knowing that would have been a big surprise.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Absolutely, I remember watching.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I saw it in the cinema because unlike you, I
didn't need to go see Rambo to you know, to
reinforce my masculine of it.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I was comfortable.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Have you seen a child's feel like?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I remember seeing Toy Story in the cinema, which was
like the first one, you know, this one's very good.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
This was dream where it's going.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
We need to get in the game here because you know,
Disney or Pixar are doing this in Disney, you know,
doing their movies, and it's a bit.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Of an anti Disney movie.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Shrek Shrek. Yeah, any money that he's walking around Disneyland
as we speak, there'd be a Shrek and a Princess Fiona.
Surely if they they don't.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Denign, No, Disney don't know this. So this is a
very This is a very anti Disney.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Because the guy left.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yes, Kamerberg and.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Eisner had a big blue at Disney, and then Katzenberg
went off and DreamWorks. And this is like even stuff
like you know, I mean even like this using pop
music and the soundtrack. It's very kind of like you know,
Disney is all about beautiful, lush kind of score ross. Yeah,
and they and their own own music, and this is
(14:01):
very much you know, pop music.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
And he's even he's even talked that Lord Farquhar is
based on aer.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
He was funny. I like, Lord Farkuha, you're a monster.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'm not a monster.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Here you are you and the rest of that fairy
tale crash poisoning my perfect world. I'll tell me where
are the others? I liked Eddie Murphy too, as a donkey,
very funny.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
It's his best performance.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Freck what it's a compliment.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Better out than in.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I always say, there's no way to be here in
front of a princess. Thanks, she's as nasty as you are.
Very good.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's truly. Have you ever done voice over work?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Good question? Oh, I mean I've done a lot. Not
for cartoons, no, only I was the voice of Cols
Express for four years. Get down at Cole's Express milk
at two dollars. Yeah, I did that for a long time.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
And also I was the voice of Super. They say,
I've got a very good normal voice. You do have
a very normal, normal sounding voice. Yeah, yeah, so I've
done Yeah, I was a voice of Super. I was
the voice of Bell Canton, New South Wales. I've got
all the big ones. But I would love to do
a cartoon. My audition for The Thongs to play the
Dad in the Thongs which was an Australian cartoon where
(15:16):
Mark Mitchell got the role that I was.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You're right with the dad role.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So yeah, I would love to do it. But but
you know, there's a limited opportunity I think in Australia
for cartoon.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, occasionally what they do.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I've done it once that I can remember, for Stalks,
the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh you did Dad? Yeah? Great, like they won an
Australian Yes, they said.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
What they often do is they have some a handful
of roles that they are happy to offer to local
people in various markets. Okay, right, so I wasn't in
the studio of Jennifer Aniston and whoever else was in
that movie, and they said, these are the ones you
can pick.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So they show you the movie. You know, they had
about six characters I could pick, and.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I probably I picked the coyotes, thinking I was going
to be like the ones that actually kind of talk,
but they they're not the ones that are often because
they were like you know, Jordan Peel and you know,
and so they were going to recast that, so I
but it was actually the mob of cote.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I like the mob of coyotes or wolves whatever
they were. And but even doing that it was tricky.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Oh yeah, it'd be hard, really hard.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So whenever you know, I see really good voice work,
like Eddie Murphy, it's concredible.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Yeah, incredible, Yeah, really good. To bring it to life
like that is really good.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
But you know the Shrek story, that was interesting because
it was a very unknown book and these kids, this
executive's kids used to read it at night. They used
to borrow from the library. They didn't even own it.
And I saw an interview with these kids once you see,
I'm an expert on Shrek. They I had never seen
until last night, and they kept telling their dad were
reading this really funny book, and the dad bought the
(16:58):
rights and then yeah, I got produced. It's a pretty
interesting story that these kids told their dad about it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Well that's how American Idol got made, because Elizabeth Murdoch
had been in the UK and said, there's this cool
show called pop idol whether they call it over there, Yeah,
and he ended up making American Idol. So listen to
your kids. What did you know of Shrek? Like, what
(17:23):
were the things that you what do you know about
being in the ether?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Well?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
No, I knew it was about an ugly guy ogre
and I knew. I knew that Mike Main said the
voice and was Eddie Murthy as a donkey, and there
was a princess involved. That's all I knew about it. Yeah,
because I was I didn't know. One of the things.
One of the things that my son like was all
the different fairy tale characters in it, Yeah, which is
something you do see in other animated movies. You know,
there's another one that we will what's it called not
(17:49):
Over the Hedge, High Jinks or something like that, which
has got a lot of the young fairy tale characters
reappearing because hoodwink, that's it. Because they must be able
to copyright, so anyone could put the Three Blind Mice. Yeah,
because Barney myself going, who's that? That's the Three Blind Mics. Oh,
that's Pinocchio, you know. And so that was fun. That
was a really good I didn't know that that was funny.
Why do you go, Wood, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Not a puppet, I'm a real boys.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
The Possessed tie take it away. I liked how Farkwhi's
kingdom was like really sterile and yes, no one was
having fun, and I liked that sort of social message
to it, but.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
That was also kind of a bit of a dig.
He set up like a disney Land. Yeah, but nobody's there.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
There's another little little dick from from DreamWorks and you
know Jeffrey Katzenberg probably specifically.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
But this came back to Eddie Murphy and casting.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You got Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, you got Mike
Myers playing Shrek, but originally it was going to be
Chris Farley.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Oh and did he die?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
He died, which made him unavailable.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Because he looked a bit like he looks at me, like, yeah, Shrek.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And now I was watching it knowing this because I
watched it again this week too, you.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Know, because you're committed to the brief podcast. I'm committed
to this podcast the things I do.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Hope you didn't watch it on your phone, like I know.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I watched on a big screen TV. That's how the
filmmakers like it. Well, they prefer to watch it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
In the cinema. But but I've seen it in the cinema.
I was really imagine.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Crish Farley, and I couldn't because I mean, it's become
so iconic a Scottish accent.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Well, they didn't write as a Scottish accent. I had
an interview with Mike Myers and he said he just
turned up and said, I'm going to do it a
Scottish Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, well I think even he tried it as a Canadian.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, because it does seem to be
said in England. It seems to me to be that
all the soldiers and stuff are English, yes, and the
villagers are English.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Farquhar is English and mean you think castles, you kind.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Of Robin Hood's in there, but robin Wood appears to
be French or something.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yes, that's an interesting choice asternable city for I am
your Savior and I am just killing you from this
green least we actually have on a cooked up on
YouTube Chris Filey's audition. Uh, this is Chris Filey auditioning,
(20:09):
for sure.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
It's nothing like a fire and a noble romantic mission
to warm the cockles of your heart. Yeah, I like
my cockles room temperature, Thank you very much. Hey, if
you're not doing this for cockle woman, why are you
doing it?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Simple fart Watt gets his princess. I get what I want,
which is now, come on, what do you want? I
don't have time to set it to music. Oh, this
is another one of those onion things. No, this is
one of those drop it and leave me alone things. Well,
(20:43):
why don't you want to talk about it? Why do
you want to talk about it?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Why you answering the question with a question?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Why are you asking questions I don't want to answer.
Why are you blocking? I'm not blocking?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Then?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Why do you have problems expressing your wants? I don't?
I want you to shut up? So it's pretty good. Thought,
it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
It's you could watch that, you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Kind of go, I can't imagine anyone else doing it,
And then you listen you're gonna go, Okay, I can't.
I still think if Chris Farley and Mike Myers were
down to the last two and I was I was
casting it, I think I would still go Mike my
I think the Scottish accent.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think the Scottish.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Accent with a like the African American sas that Eddie
brings to it is a really fun combination.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah, that's interesting. I love Chris Farley.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And then when Chris Farley was attached, Princess Jana was
supposed to be played by Jeanine Garoffalo.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh great, which is a.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Completely different way of thinking. Cameron Diaz was very good
though she was, but I reckon it's also that kind
of Jeanne Gruffalo as a princess is also that anti
Disney kind of feel.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Of especially back then. She's quite alternative, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And quite kind of a dead pan.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
He said that you thought the film moves quite slowly,
but the storytelling is I think is incredible.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Storytelling is pretty good. Actually, Barney my Son made an
observation that the thing with the dragon didn't last very long.
He wanted to fight with the dragon to go longer.
But I reckon that was perfect to get in get
because who wants to see all that? You know, I
prefer the story being told, So I actually thought the
storytelling was very simple, quite simple, but good.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Everything's really clear.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
And the good thing about when there's a movie about
a mission, you know, you can actually.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Just state what he yeah, what the movie's about.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Well, I mean I saw Jimunji whatever the latest one is.
And it's not dissimilar in that they go on a mission.
But there's distractions along the way. Yes, and so there's
a whole horn of monkeys or baboons. Okay, right, we
got over that, and like this, they check in robin Hood.
Why they checking robin Hood. I suppose it's like just
to show her strength in doing kung fu on robin Hood.
(22:58):
But also it's a fun distraction because of robin Hood.
Even though it's not a musical. He sings a song
like Robin Hood sings a song like Jaunty Little, which
was quite good. I thought it's still from the Rich
and Keith to the Navy something. But I'm not pretty.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I rischter you pretty dove sills, madam.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I don't like kids moves where they sing musical like
fro again, I haven't seen Frozenzen.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
How do you have? Who would have been what maybe
eight when it came out.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, there was a lot of pressure, but she Frozen.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I've seen Frozen three boy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, that's that's funny, isn't it. Yeah, she's I mean
they do talk about it. She may have seen it
since at school or something like that, because you know,
when it gets the end of the year, they're always
banging on videos in the hall of the kids. And
I do want to see Frozen out because I'm I'm
a big fan of Olive. Who's the guy who's Olive?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Just Dad?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, because he's in that Avenue five which I've been
watching the new science Fiction.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I haven't seen that funny.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, I really like and he's very funny and he's good.
And I didn't know who he was. I looked him
up and I said, he's off the who again. I
know he's funny in Frozen's he must be the comedy relief?
Is he in? Yes, Frozen right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He's almost a donkey Frozen.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, he's very funny, that guy.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He's great.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
He was also in a series which only lasted sadly,
one series with Billy Crystal, but played themselves really kind
of like they were paired together to do a sketch
comedy show. Behind the scenes, it's actually it's really fun.
I was disappointed only got one.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I forget the name of it. But it'll be easy,
easy to find.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I don't really like movies where they start singing.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But couldn't you have gotten frozen? It's wack that then
walked their way. You could have done that. But it's like, no,
what you watchn't take Away again?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Take Away Mine?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I made a film I Love You Too, and you
made a Takeaway and you and your stube and mate.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And I was in the Nugget and you're in the
I didn't write, but a lot of people remember the Nugget. Yes,
Nuggat was a great one for Eg Banner, Stephen Curry
and Steph Curry playing.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Three council workers.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Wookie. What was Curry's name?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
He was Wookie? Ye I was. I always forget my name.
But people come up to the street and say it
to you, and what are you talking about? Oh, I
can't believe it's what is my suit? I don't know.
I just forget. And I also people come from quote
lines from like I don't know what the Finger of God.
I'm like, who's this freak? And they're like, oh, that's
from the Narget right, especially in the country because it's
(25:38):
about three country men and it's set in Mudgie where
we filmed it. And you said, well, people I find
if you go to Mildura or Woga, I love it,
because I still love it.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
You happened had the premiere in Mudget, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
That's where the guy driving has said, people in Mudgie
are gonna love this movie. I don't know about people
in Dubbo. I don't know how much. And he was right,
like a lot of the move those movies. I had
great expectations for it, but didn't do as well as
what they thought.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yes, I remember seeing in fact, I think the Nuggets did.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Well on DVD. Yeah, the DVD on standard moment.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Back then it would have been even a bigger market
than it is now.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I know.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I love you too. We did. We did reason me
well at the box office domestically.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
So, but then we had taken five or six million.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Or some which there wasn't quite that much as like three.
You know, the Nugget was about two or three, yeah,
which is it's almost that mid level of success in
a while.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
To put it in context, the Castle was ten eleven million,
boy eleven million dollars, as Nick will tell you, but
the dish was like twenty or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Red Dog was close to thirty as well.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
So I like, a girl's done really well, which.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Is really well, really well.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I love the square yilm edgend of boys and that, like, yeah,
it took like hundreds of.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
It was, so it was it's such a tough thing
to if you can, to be honest, if you can
get over the millionaire, if you know you've done it right,
and you probably get to make another film and.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Then you know, to get the three. But we did
really well as well.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
On and this is you know, years after the Nuggets,
this is like twenty ten, we did a really we
had a really good DVD kind of life as well,
which is actually it was more significant when I saw
the figures and the numbers than I thought. But so
because the Nugget was also Blinda Rammett, the wonderful late
(27:36):
Blinda Rammett. It was awesome and directed by Bill Bannett.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Who Billnett Kissed.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Me, Kill Me, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a
great film, Yes, fantastic film.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And Eric Banner So just before he went off and became.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
He'd already done he'd already done Chopper. Yes, he'd already
done black Hawk down right. But while we were on
the set of The Nugget he got off of The
Hulk because he came out of his Tralie went I'm
betting off I'm going to be the Hulk to the Hulk.
He hadn't mentioned anything about it. So yeah, he went
off and did The Hulk, and so, yeah, he just
wanted to do this. He wanted to do an Australian
(28:13):
He only had very little kids at that stage. I
had no kids and he had very little children. So
he wanted to do a movie in Australia. They're going
really well with Bill and say, he's just he wanted
to do a movie that his kids could see, basically,
which is yes. So yeah, it was good fun doing then.
It was great fun being up a mudgy filming. We
had a great We had a great time, a great time.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And you also worked with roseburn in Taway take Away.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, I don't think she mentions that on a CV anymore.
I I have funny as this though, so takeaway for
people that I know. It's about two fish and chip
shops that compete against each other, because occasionally you do
still see it. You see chicken shops next door to
and one was run by Stephen Curry, one was wrung
by Vince Colossimo. And then a Burgies opens up, which
like a McDonald's franchise, and they have to compete.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Well, it wasn't a McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I don't know. I don't know. And so and I
played the butcher, which was just a role we wrote
because when we got to when we found the location,
there was a butcher in between these two shops, and
so the director's like, we should, you should, We'll put
in a butcher character, just you know. I go about
four lines and anyway, the butcher was his great old
Italian guy and him and his son just works in
(29:25):
Alphington and which is a northern subeers of Melbourne in
this classic strip shop. And anyway, the butcher was really
nice and he got to know and Rosebyrn. She was
very friendly with all the shopkeepers and stuff. And anyway,
I went to the butcher's retirement party the other day
because I live around there, and the guy goes, you
gotta come and speak at Al's what's his name? The
butcher's retirement party at the bowling club, And so I
(29:47):
went and told the story about you know, and his
son goes, oh, yeah, Roseburn dropped in the other day. Yeah,
she turned up with her husband, Bobby what's his name,
because she's married to Bobby.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, from Absolutely, he's a from Man's a man.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, And I'm like, you're kidding me. So they've got
into Melbourne and she's gone, let's go visit the set
of Takeaway and see the Butcher. Well she didn't drop
in or call me, So how funn is that?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Well? We that is the Rose.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Rose is brilliant and I around when we made I
Love You Too. She was going out with Brendan cow
who was the lead in so Brendan kept on saying
to me, do you have a part, like a part
of Rose like she wants to you know, she was
getting pretty big at this stage.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
And well she did two hands and yeah, that was
she made.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
She's making damages. You know, I don't know why she
did close.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I don't know why she didn't take Away, she just
had a Takeaways.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I want to get back to Takeaway. Takeaway is a
funny film.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
You know, there's a big floor in it, though in
take Away the ending is a flor for people that
don't know. At the end there's a tow truck driver
character and he the burgies away on the back of
his truck. Now, when me and Marco Toil, the other
writer wrote it, we envisioned that it would be a
quick thing where he would just rip it down and
tow it down the street. And I remember Eric Banner
(31:11):
reading it because he was going to through the Vince
Colossimo role. But then he became very famous and said
no thanks and.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
He implausibility of.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
You can't how can you do this ending? You can't
do the ending? I went, I will be right, and
then when I saw how they did it, I just
went on no, because I remember who was Jim Shenbry
wrote in the you know, I don't know we take
notice of critics, but went they're right. He said, this
is one of the funniest Australian film in years, except
for the ending, which is true. The ending is terrible.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I think I remember going going, oh, okay, that's yeah.
I was really wanted to like and I did.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I wasn't you like that until the last half an
hour like yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Well, to be honest, the last you know, and you know,
it's been one I've watched it. I probably did send
it twice.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Watch it on your phone. I reckon it was.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
We actually made it to be watched on fines.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
For twenty years, but yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That was the only up until that point. It's a
really it's a really funny film. But yeah, so I
kind of I thought Brendan was kind of joking. I
thought Rose is not going to come and do it,
you know, a cameo, but he kept on asking. I thought, okay,
well so you're serious, and she goes, yeah, Rose came
to set one day. She we're hanging out, you know,
she goes, he got a roll for me or not?
(32:28):
And I was like, are you serious, like and she says, yeah,
like really wondering, I really want you, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So she played.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We gave her a role that was Yvonsta Hosky, who's
now getting nominated all the time for a Handmaid's Tale.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
She's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah, she's brilliant. Yeah she's great and Peter dinklind was
in as.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Well.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
That was the last one he did before Game of Thrones.
And so Rose is in the film. She in the
back of a cab. We kind of dressed her up
kind of anime, kind of in this anime, but we had.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
To kind of let an actress kind of.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Go to kind of been replaced by Yeah, we made
the roll.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
A bit bigger, so it wasn't like a you know,
huge role, but and Rose kind of made it. She's
just like swearing her little heart out in the back
seat and little Ron Jacobson's in the front seat coppying
it all. But she's an absolute delight. And around that
time she was just starting maybe to get in the
comedy or wanted to get into the comedy. And she'd
made I think a film with Judd Apatao, her first
(33:26):
one that she made. I forget it was maybe it
was Getting to the Greek or maybe it was something
in before that. Yeah, And I was lucky enough to
have dinner with Judd Apatao.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Are you talking to the foot, didn't you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
The paper, But I had dinner with him.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
I think we've rove and we're kind with chatting about Rose,
and he just was saying how funny she was. And
I was chatting to the Brendan and so Judd was
saying how funny, like how hilarious Rose, because it hadn't
come out yet, and and Rose was actually in the
cardig No, she was in the car. She was really
she was excited to hear you know that, you know
how funny Judd thought she was, and then she made like.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Hilariotastic.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
It's almost weird to think that she started.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
She started almost like in these like little often like
grim little dramas.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Two Hands, Yeah, I mean two Hands is an absolutely classic.
So take Away. People should watch Takeaway and you know,
I don't have to.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Imagine a different ending and and tweet me or send me.
But what did you?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
People should come up with an alternative ending to take Away.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Pitch your alternative endings. I'm going to set up an
email for the show.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Well, it's interesting because you don't see many Australian comedies
that must of these days because much back in when
we made them, it was easy to get money for this.
It was still a very hard process, but there was
The Macquarie Bank funded a lot of films. They funded
a lot of those films back then.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I've been told that the films there after now film
that kind of play to older audiences.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
I write like a girl, Yes, the story, it's.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Strange storytelling, you know, but play a bit old sapphires.
Yeah wrong, let's show off the country a little bit.
Or they'll tell a well known Australian story. They're not
necessary after genre films, but.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
When you're seeing Australian comedy, I still love it. I
still you know. That's why I said The Other Castle
is one of my favorite movies. One of my other
favorite movies when I was a teenager was The Adventures
of bas Mackenzie, which is Barry Crockert. Barry Humphries wrote it,
and it's about this. Barry Crocker plays is Ossie Bogan.
It was a Bogan before Bogan's were even a thing.
Going to London where he meets the Queen and you know,
(35:39):
it's a farce. It's very funny though urinates on a
TV set. He gets asked to go on a talk
show and it's very funny movie.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I always I think I reviewed that for they must
have re released it and I reviewed it for a Live
many years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And like, and I never watched it, so it was
it was it's from the seventies, but funny seventies. Yeah.
So you mentioned also Blues Brothers as one of the brothers.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Yeah, I love the Brutes. I remember I saw Blues
Brothers of the movies when it came out because I
was in high school. And then a guy got a
it won't even been a beta copy. He had a
very early video record, and we will go around to
his house and watch it over and over. And now
with my kids, I've got teenagers and eleven year old.
They love it. They love the Blues Brothers. It's still funny. Yeah,
it's still funny. It's got good music, there's good dancing,
(36:26):
and there's good car crashes in car chases.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
There's a great book that I'm just a fish reading
called Wild and Crazy Guys.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I love that book.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I read they read it.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, yeah, and that basically tracks that period of America.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Murphy Chase.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
You know a lot of I said in live guys
who became superstars, and that gets it.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
That gets a good.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
People still still quote the Blues Brothers. You're still you know,
this place has got everything. Yeah, that's the Blues Brothers
Orange orange Web, orange web.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Oh it's an orange web, orange web, orange web.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Three orange webs had other more abscure ones, like you know,
I fucking hate Illinois Nazis.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I must say.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Bluesbrothers has come up a couple of times. I chat
the people about it.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
You blasphem me. You know, I was it?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Never?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
It was never a film on my absolute favorites. For
some reason, I think I saw because I think I
saw it in bits. I think I saw bits and
pieces of it.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
And it's also an age thing too, I reckon when
films are when you're absolutely your absolute peak of being influenced,
when you're at senior high school in first years of
union work or whatever. It's that kind of period. Like
there was also Revenge of the Nerds came out in
like eighty four eighty I love that eighty four eighty five.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I remember Mate telling me he wanted to go down
to the Greensboro Bolk Store to rent Revenge of the Nerds,
this new movie, and I didn't even know what there were.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Nerds meant. I thought it was a horror film.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah, well nerds weren't a thing. Because my son going
to me, were you a nerd of high school. I said,
it wasn't a thing. There weren't nerds there, but they
weren't called nerds. Yeah, there was not. It was until
that movie came out, especially in Australia. Nerds were not
a thing. They weren't a group of people really well,
I mean there's there was still like a computer club
at school, so they were nerves, but they didn't call
themselves nerds.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Who's your favorite and character and inveng In.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Probably Boger and from the Lambda Mood Team, Dudley Dawson,
Bogger Bogger. I love Animal Houses, right, Yeah, all those
movies from from back then.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
They kind of kicked off the whole National Lampoons thing, didn't, but.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
You watch some of them now. Like so, I'm always
looking for movies to watch with the kids, Like I
love grandhog Day, which is I'm sure people mentioned that,
but you watch it now. It's a little bit dodgy
in the me too generation.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
It's there are so many it's.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Very very dodgy. It's like see the Blues Brothers is
the bluesmo has got no sort of sleaziness or sexual
sort of stuff, whereas Grand Old Day is all about
when he finally sleeps with Annie McDowell, everything comes good.
This is him trying to win her over for the
whole movie.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Do you find yourself watching movies now and sometimes that
leaps out at you. Sometimes your mind just goes there
about the say, let's got it sexual politics now and
then me too, and kind of going, oh, wow, that
that I've never thought about. There's even a moment I
was watching Heat because Dave Thornton hasn't seen Heat, so
he hasn't seen Heat.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
One of the greatest crime movies of all time.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
This is a part where Amy Brennerman's character Edie is
trying to get away from de Niro and he kind
of like, you know, he's basically chasing her and basically
you know, she's kind of crawling through the reads and
and he kind of like grabs her and he kind
of like holds it, you know, and that we've seen
that scene in many movies, and she eventually coccumbs and
(39:48):
she's you know, kind of stays with them, And yeah,
it does go to a point where in a scene
or two later where de Niro is saying to her,
you know, you can say or you can go, and
it's your choice, So that kind of helps corrected. But
that kind of scene the often see movies where where
men basically in prison.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Oh yeah, a woman, But.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
We talk about Gregory's girl. I mean, how DoD you
with that?
Speaker 2 (40:09):
I don't think they're making making Gregory's girl at the time.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Soon there's a scene where there'll be a lot more fuss.
I have a little bit of TI.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
There's a there's a scene where they all go, the
boys and the teenage boys go and sit on this
hill with pinoculars and look at a nurse's quarter and
and there's a woman with a bra on and he's
and they're just going to take it off, take it off,
take it off, take it off.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
She's got a brassier. Oh, take it off, take it off.
Transmit teller to cheek off her brak off your brazier,
concentrate your bust, and concentrate.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
Mate. And they all leave and eventually she takes it
off and her underpants as well, and they get very excited.
But imagine that these days, there's no way, no, they're
like perverts.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
I know, and you know that might anger some people,
but I think you know, if we all disvolve, you
won't know.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
There'll be other made a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Movies can do, mate, It's been a pleasure to sit
down and chat movies with you.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Been great fun. I love it, you know, I love movies.
I love The last movie I saw too was Little Women.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I've been in the seat.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
That's great. Well, I've got a teenage daughter who absolutely
loved it. But it is. It is a great remake.
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
I love Greta. Ladybird was one of the best films
of that year.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Again, haven't seen it, but I've check out Lady Bird.
I'm gonna watch it on my phone.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Now, can you start watching movies on your phone?
Speaker 2 (41:34):
I can handle watching a scene from a movie on
a phone.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Oh god, yeah, anyway, yeah, I should stop. Look, my
TV is quite small too. I tweeted the photo the
other day because people were harassing Hugy about the size
of his TV. And my TV is quite small too.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
She's got a small TV, yeah, he's got well.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
In comparison to the wall that it was hanging off.
It's quite small. Yeah, but I've got a smaller one.
I reckon, but you get used to it. That's it
cuts out the left bit of the screen. But anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Have watched movies on my phone for work. Sometimes I said,
you were linked to watch a movie, and I that's
just the way the link, that is what you can do.
The link is not working on the TV, so I
watch You're a busy man, forgiven, You're forgiven. Thank you
so much for coming in and there?
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Would you write another movie? Well? Have you? No?
Speaker 3 (42:25):
I get ideas for them, but the way we write.
We also wrote You and Your Stupor Mate, which also
came out, and it was easy back then because we
had a producer director guy who just did it, did
all that grunt work and we just had to write
them and we got paid, so it was easy. Whereas
to actually sit down and write another one, Yeah, I
don't know. I'd love to do it, but it's it's
(42:46):
just a hard thing to do, don't you reckon? You
did one, and did you ever? You must have thought
about a second one.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I've thought about.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
The thing I think about that the most is you
need a film that has a real hook like these.
I think I love you too, and I'm really proud
of it, and I get lots of lovely feedback still
from it and about it. But I think the thing
stopping it from a village had really high hopes for it,
(43:13):
you know, becoming a bigger thing. Was it just didn't
have that big hook really, besides the fact that it's
an austrained wrong com we don't make these at all.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
But it's not about the girl, the first girl to
win the Cup, no, you know what I mean, which
is a great hook for a right like a girl.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Absolutely everyone wants to see that story.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Well, I remember, I think it was the Christmas after
that Melbourne Cup when Michelle Paine became the first woman
ever to win the Melbourne Cup. My dad and I
were discussing and my family were discussing, you know, they
got to do it as a movie, and like what
we would focus on and what we you know, you know,
and we kind of had different ideas of what you
would actually focus on.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
But as we're discussing, I thought, I wonder who's going
to get the right? Yeah, Rachel Griff probably a week
later I had the rights for the week earlier. Excellent mate.
Thank you so much. Go catch Davanil whenever you around.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Get a chance of the Fairfield Funhouse if you are
in that area. Good to see comedy on the north.
