Occasional presenter and reporter-on-assignment Gus McGrath brings us an exclusive interview with King of Transgressive Literature-cum-filmmaker Dennis Cooper and his charming, longterm collaborator Zac Farley ahead of the Australian premiere of ROOM TEMPERATURE, their latest film about a very dysfunctional family turning their home into a haunted house, which is playing at the Central Coast Film Festival on November 7. Hear the kindly moviemaking duo talk about their love of Halloween, disregard for genre, and how Puce Mary made a score for this film without a score, as Gus tries to contain his excitement.

In The Bedroom w/ M.I.A.

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 03:49:02 +0000

Y.A.L.A! We are so excited to bring you an exclusive interview with Oscar-nominated bedroom beat maker Maya Mathangi Arulpragasam aka M.I.A ahead of her Australian tour dates.

A musical artist, documentary filmmaker, and globe trotting record producer, M.I.A generously shares her wisdom. From practical bedroom producing, to data wrangling samples, to creating “with what you’ve got around you…you might not have a house but you got a pot and a can of beans…”

A-Listers w/ Priya Leigh

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 21:00:59 +0000

When culture vulture Priya Leigh knocks…Movies, Movies, Movies answers. The podcast host loudly visits the set of MMM to closely moderate a debate on Sofia Coppola’s sociopathy, Matilda’s enduring legacy, the quest for articulation, in search of justice. Priya brings unique je sais quoi (French for ‘I know that!’) because nobody understands the machinations of cinema - an art born in machines - better than her. An actress, a director, and an assistant sit before mics while a storm’s coming. Am I the drama?

Went Up The Hill w/ Samuel Van Grinsven

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 23:08:37 +0000

Samuel Van Grinsven aka SVG joined Jen and Andj late last year in Adelaide after the world premiere of his new psychological supernatural minimalist second feature Went Up The Hill to find out how he set himself on fire in front of Vicky Krieps. His new film has already sold out the Sydney Opera House this week, and we'd love to know your reads of this ambiguous Aotearoa based ghost story. The FilmLordes try to guess his influences, techniques and plot points and are wrong about every single one of them.

Smut School w/ Katie Winten & Gala Vanting

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 07:29:50 +0000

Books vs Films, Party Girls vs Kink Kings, two manic festivals go live on the same night this Thursday and that's culture. Smut Night at the Red Rattler raises money for the important and incomparable f*ck palace Hedon House at exactly the same time Garden Reflexxx presents Party Girl at the State Library of NSW. Smut Night programmer Katie Winten and Hedon House's Gala Vanting join Andj and Jen for a very special self-serving episode of Movies Movies Movies to discuss porn, Anora, invincible grapevines and show off a douche that Apichatpong signed in Bangkok. Sit back, strap on and join us IRL this Thursday at two of the most improbably locations for film screenings available in this city. Peace!

Can Andj ever recover from sleeping through the entirety of Maria and is the journey of The Brutalist worth the destination? Where's the Daddy? All this and more on the sky of bright scars: Movies Movies Movies (full length interviews to come).

I Know How To Be A Tree w/ Dr. Anna Broinowski

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 00:52:26 +0000

"Lived it, breathed it, bled it". Ok Dr. Anna Broinowski. Filmmaker, satirist, educator, documentarian-cum-influencer and pop-truth sceptic, she's in the studio. We celebrate the release of her memoir 'Datsun Angel' by putting everyone in the hot seat. Sydney, to North Korea, to New York, to Tokyo, back to Sydney University and ultimately to Canberra - we talk subjects as vehicles, driving as site of debate, ugly A*stralian guys, Jen's nerves, vocabulary, delivering film masters on a skateboard, and how creativity is mothering. So many parallel mothers. Taste is vulnerability. One execrable hazing dorm.

Datsun Angel is available in soft back through Hachette described as a Wake In Fright for Chicks.

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 07:24:22 +0000

Ain't no valley low; here is part 2 of our interview with Stelly G featuring special guest director/writer Rachel House, talking about the sublime power of filmmaking with family both young and old. Inspiration and motivations going into the prod: we talk about the most impassioned parts of doing the job. It's about costumes and acting and ageing and knowing when the time is right. You can't see but we have wide eyes looking towards Rachel.

Heal that bastard inner child of yours w/ Stelly G

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 03:59:15 +0000

"Was it a ritual, or were you just sleeping in a park in Canberra?" asks guest Stelly G (artist/director behind Mood Ring). In the lead up to The Mountain dropping in Australian cinemas (June 27th 2024) MMM's tiny desk hosts three big mouths coming down. They've just met Rachel House, the film's director/writer. The three discuss meeting Rachel on a level, then the microphone levels peak as they argue over camping fashion, actors being scarier than models, The Mountain's three child stars, Stelly's process, the KFC in Alice Springs and playing to your strengths. Full conversation, no bleeps, tears were cried, I put this moment here.

Full Rachel House interview dropping next week, The Mountain comes to cinemas Thursday June 27th.

Gathos & Pathos w/ Johnathan Lo

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 03:56:19 +0000

Thank J it's Friday. Director/writer Johnathan Lo is in conversation with Jen and André in the lead up to his food-movie Bong Xi Fa Cai screening at SFF (CW: short film but it's tender). JLo's first time being MMM's 3rd inspires honesty. Is my film camp? Are comedy people sad? Did you rip off Smiley Face? Is Family Guy poetic? Did you like my movie? Johnathan defends production quality while Jen defends Alan Cumming (who remembers that filmmaker from Spice World?) while special mentions are thrown at the ensemble of diners Priya Leigh, Priscilla Cui, Fergus Wilson and David Ma who do lunchtime-acting perfectly. The easiest question we ask: which Girl is John?

Bong Xi Fa Cai is trophy-worthy on June 15th at SFF 2024, 3:00PM as part of the Dendy Awards. We highly recommend.

Showing up for Stress Positions w/ Theda Hammel

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 07:35:19 +0000

Movies, Movies, Movies gets all the meat off the bone talking to Theda Hammel, director/writer/co-editor/composer and star of Stress Positions. On the occasion of its screening at SFF they discuss people having problems with each other, and "horrifying American indie comedy". Saluting first timers Jen and André pry about taking your house everywhere you go, John Early, debuts, the Eye of the Duck, torture (seeing chicken on a floor), going naturalistic, Christopher Hitchens, a date where a man threatens to tell Jen's future but instead monologues after orgasm, and how Theda's 15 page birthday present became Brooklyn millennial folklore. People lie for a living then we get the nicest cameras possible and point them at ourselves. Movies, Movies, Movies is not about being gay hype girlies.

Stress Positions is playing at SFF Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th June.

The Taste of Burgers w/ Theda Hammel

Thu, 30 May 2024 13:45:31 +0000

Movies, Movies, Movies goes nocturnal in a deeply PM conversation for sleepwalkers. One film about the day (The Taste of Things), against a film about the night (The Strangers: Chapter 1) with eating in common. The night-talkers play 'what's the definition of mise-en-scene', discuss objects of optimism, André is afraid to bring up Sciamma, and the 2 agree on 2 films that 'nobody is craving at the moment' until they're saved by the wise words of Oregon filmmaker Theda Hammel. Spoiler alert: there's talk about Martin + Thelma and how carriages are movies and organising disordered thoughts. We live in a time of cruel art.

What a C*nnes

Wed, 22 May 2024 05:45:50 +0000

Cannes is the sister city of Beverly Hills which makes it a moving target for MMM. Jen and André have a conversation about a film festival 16,746 km away from FBi Radio. It's an Andrea year, not a Lynne year, and all about showing up to work but not in a Reichardt way. Directors do their job, budget cuts become jump cuts, and we try to figure out what Megalopolis says about our past friendships. Noticing patterns J+A discuss The Strangers (all 3 of them), Straub-Huillet, Liv Tyler's sliding door acting, what's starring Junglepussy, a treatise on the Sydney film movement of stylists becoming directors, debunking Fever Ray and Jen's discovery of Haile Gerima.

Furiosa, not Furiosah

Wed, 15 May 2024 13:13:58 +0000

MMM dressed as motorbikes to attend the premiere of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga by George Miller, a director who at 79 years old still has it. Afterwards, the duo gather in studio to discuss the biggest talkie of the year. Jen conjures the experience of Mel Gibson eating steak on set barehanded, running in circles as feminine storytelling, Noah and the Whale, what happens when wives edit together, how Byron Bay is in NSW, and both Chris Hemsworth and John Howard's big bloodied nipples - all composite parts of Furiosa's whole. André admits to craving continuity, Jen discusses the news of a Mousetrap film produced by Margot, and between reflections on Moulin Rouge J+A pay respect to the mastermind Tina Turner. The windmill continues to spin. Vrrrrrrr vrrrrrrrrrr vrooom roar.

Movies, Movies, Movies hosts a conversation with documentary filmmaker Lucie McMahon on her film Things Will Be Different - which is being released nationally in cinemas with special QandA screenings. An ode to the Walker Street Public Housing Estate in Melbourne as it heads to demolition, Things Will Be Different is a bittersweet document of Walker Street's last two residents, living with the uncertainty of eventual displacement. One of the film's subjects - William Gwyne - joins the zoom, sharing his experience working in Factual, collaboration, what it took to depict the housing crisis, surviving notices to vacate, and their hopes for the film's educational power.

Precarious Positions (SFF Special)

Mon, 13 May 2024 00:17:11 +0000

Sydney Film Festival is a full menu; J and A wishlist their dream-directors, films, play dates, crew members, friends (aka peers), memories (real and false) and anticipated tiny meals coming ground-under for this year's friendly SFF. They discuss the lineup; looking for films that go ‘boo’, mix-bag curation, Rachel House, Theda coming over to my house, arbitrary choices, wee/poo and high/low selectivity, the word 'anachronistic' to describe the French New Wave "thinking they discovered something new but it was actually just India" and the Beatlemania of Stress Positions. Ruby Arrowsmith-Todd holds down a shrinking shack Flux: Art + Film section, Jen explains how to religiously read the jumbo schedule (and Bible dip), then J and A special-mention the precarious French strikers, the cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, and 93 year old documentary filmmakers not-wasting time at Opera Quays.

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 02:02:48 +0000

Cream suits and clover honey: MMM is joined by filmmaker/union photographer Lily Bennett to discuss the dissociative power of guns, cameras, career insurrection, and bokeh.

In an abundance of spoilers we strip La Chimera (Alice Rohrwacher), learn photography in Civil War (Alex Garland), and use tennis as a position through Challengers (Luca Guadagnino). The holy T take us to the court of love, death, and tennis, finishing with an interview featuring Zendaya and Josh O’Connor (25:10 for the sprinters). This rare megalopolis comeback covers Fellini’s Roma, eyes of duck in film, spirits, Jen clocking 14 fedoras at the cinema and finding the answer. Here are three films about being good at your job. How do people ever pick between options? Go Steelers.

Why are they all so...just like us? The two Buffs then enter a pitching contest between "Gangas" and "Etc Etc Etc..." - two compelling productions set deep inside the Nation's hole. Gus protects his right to not have a favourite Canberra song, while André celebrates Cate Shortland's 35mm screening of Somersault (2004) at the Australian Fyshwick, Telopea, and Roundabout School. Fights break out but the love games win.

Andj reviews Bridgett Everett in Somebody Somewhere and gushes over Charlotte Rampling in Benedetta. The Europa! Film Festival is looming and so is a new Souvenir movie starring André's cousins.

Dear listeners: Film Club is closing its doors. We don’t have the tea, but we’re investigating the death of Sydney’s last DVD rental store (outside Jen’s Balinese drawers stacked full of Blu Rays). We discuss the films we bought on our (hopefully-not) last visit - 17 films to be exact. We also discuss Style Wars and The Pleasure of Being Robbed, two rare finds we were able to snatch. Film Club forever…is a lame thing to say because really ‘DVDs forever!’ as we need customers to buy our upcoming art. To Film Club: Love and Trust.

Red Scare Christmas w/ Dasha Nekrasova

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 23:52:00 +0000

Whichever side of the curtain you’re on we’ve got Red Scare podc-artist Dasha Nekrasova discussing her new feature The Scary of Sixty-First on MMM. She directed it, and plays the lead Jeffrey Epstein conspirator who drags some New Yorkers into a semi-supernatural possession problem - we’re NOT saying Giallo - and in something of an obsessive poem about high profile baddies.

In the interview we discuss the death of Queen E, making independent films, honoring Stanley Kubrick, on set health, cheeseburgers, and horror as feminist affect. Dasha is actually really sweet and not as scary as we thought she’d be. Please enjoy but also - trigger warning - we discuss some heavy topics so would like to warn listeners before they engage.

The Scary of Sixty First hits cinemas nationally from December 16! Giallo.

Sex on screen or WTF Romania w/ Radu Jude

"Objective: I don't like the word!"

André chats with Romanian pravda-vocateur Radu Jude whose film Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn hits Australian cinemas November 25. In this funny and nervous Zoom ramble, the two discuss BLBOLP, which follows a Romanian school teacher whose sex tape is leaked. Radu and André cover male nudity in film, being a teenager at the cinemathèque, queer liberation, the need to work out before a shoot, and Radu's motivation behind filmmaking. Surprisingly, Soda Jerk comes up in the chat.

EDIT/CW: Contrapoints is not 'fully' a PHD student. André also reveals an appreciation for problematic film Blue is The Warmest Colour.

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 00:34:00 +0000

2021 marks the 10th year of Nashen Moodley's Sydney film festival directorship. We catch up with him over zoom to discuss whether we are in/coming out of a Dark Age of cinema, current trends in film festivals, and how SFF is staying relevant. We also spotlight Real by Aki Omoshaybi (which is screening at SFF) and discuss the hard sells of the festival. Listen till the end to hear about André's personal beef with Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Is Memoria a lame-stream sell out film?

To note: Nashen likes Rashomon (1950), for any critics out there...

iPhone cameras are like 16mm w/ Ari Wegner [SFF Special]

Thu, 11 Nov 2021 02:46:41 +0000

How does a cinematographer think about image making? Are iPhone cameras as good as 16mm film stock? Jen catches up (over zoom) with future Oscar nominated cinematographer Ari Wegner who's shot two films at SFF 2021. They are Zola and The Power of the Dog. The two discuss aesthetic and ‘information’; soulful beauty; the journey towards seeing; watching a director work (in this case Jane Campion); the dance aspect of cinematography; the landscape of faces and more while Tempe based birds sing outside. Also, why do cameras have intimidating names like WEAPON and SPIDER and DRAGON? This means we discuss hyper-masculinity in film.

Tickets to Zola and The Power of the Dog can be bought at www.sff.org.

ALSO: The intro features a snippet of The Beguiled instead of a snipper of The Power of the Dog. This is a joke.

Babylon + Four Roads.

Finally we have good sound and we aren't wasting it galaxy braining bad, sad, industry films. Babylon (1980) finds the reggae underground through the visor of British kitchen sink realism, but the music keeps the harrowing experiences chill. On the other hand Alice Rohrwacher's lockdown movie is a sparkling gem of Varda-esque corniness about neighbours and the countryside that is transportive and inspiring in all the right ways.

Zola + Samara Weaving.

Andj chats with Samara Weaving about Canberra and we enter another week in lockdown watching Abbas D.L. Kiarostami. Sydney Film Festival remains a mystery to us while Melbourne, always one step ahead, goes entirely online. Butch film icon Jenni Olson wins a Teddy Award, Cannes finishes, Black Widow has come and gone, Michaela Cole joins the MCU and Lynne Ramsay is smothered with work... but mostly we care about Zola, and the relationship between it's editor and writer/director Joi McMillon and Janicza Bravo.

United States v Billie Holiday + Demi Lovato - Dancing with the Devil

We review these two queer popstar survival stories and hype three surviving cinema events.

Static Vision have announced their film festival Dreamscapes: A Static Vision Film Festival and it will run from May 14th to 16th. Satoshi Kon’s Paprika looks like a highlight and low key Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street is going to give the festival an exciting throwback. New Jersey DJ UNiiQU3 is opening the festival. Personally I’m most excited for Blue Honda Civic by Jussie Eerola which calls itself a minimalist road movie about emotional landscapes. I could talk about this lineup all day - In The Air Tonight as well, and Sun Dog!

Cinema Reborn is happening from April 29th till May 2nd and we highly recommend you check out the section Films From the CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL MEDIA ASSOCIATION (CAAMA) featuring 4 films from CAMMA. Since launching in Alice Springs in 1988 CAAMA has become the largest Indigenous production house in Australia and basically the pre-eminent video unit of Indigenous filmmaking in Australian Aboriginal media. The films being shown are MY COLOUR, YOUR KIND (1998 | Dir. Danielle MacLean), WILLABERTA JACK (2007 | Dir. David Tranter), EIGHT LADIES (2010 | Dir. Dena Curtis), GREEN BUSH (2005 | Dir. Warwick Thornton).

Garden Reflexxx: 4 will be at Pink Flamingo Cinema in Marrickville on May 7.

Huge, considered and pumped up line-up featuring Stelly G and Chiara Garrett-Saladrau and their experience of the first ever Sneaker Category in the Southern Hemisphere at the recent West Ball. Australia’s most important video artist Destiny Deacon, the much-loved LOVEDAVID, our queen, mother of the masses and Darwin’s new hero Bhenji Ra, cross-country heartthrob Grace Barr, the inventor of inflatable art, world renowned performance and fabric artist Evelyn Roth, a new film from Sydney’s hottest filmmaker E. O. Gill starring people you saw across the room at First Draft Athena Thebus and Chloe Candlelyte who, as Xnorpowka will also be debuting a new film: White Dress and finally, to cap it all off there will be a meditative trip into the underworld performed by the newest, most macabre sound artist around Weyon inside a giant inflatable chicken brought to Sydney by Evelyn Roth in person.

Her new film Music starring Maddie Ziegler and Kate Hudson has come out, marred by polarising opinions, making us wonder: does music make the people come together? A feature length musical feast the film is a mind-boggling experience covering addiction, disability, family ties, sisterhood, and how maturity makes the heart grow stronger. An album worth of new Sia tracks are included as well. We talk sickening editing, Lena Dunham’s backlash relief, Dogme 95 filmmaking, and drug dealing hope. Then, in Take Two, we share an excerpt of a longer interview with Bus Stop Films’ creatives Emily Dash and Genevieve Clay-Smith to discuss disability advocacy in film, and industry practice.

It stars Maddie Ziegler as Music, a young girl inspired by an autistic child SiA met during her AA meetings. Kate Hudson plays Music’s sister - a woman recovering from pain, forced to care for her disabled sibling. Music is a quintessentially SiA love letter to community battered in mind boggling pop-timism. During our chat we talk filmmaking, the exhausting process of editing, how to take care, and what it’s like making a kid’s movie about drugs.

DANGERFILM with Leigh Whannell director of Upgrade

Thu, 14 Jun 2018 05:23:00 +0000

In this episode of DANGERFILM Jack and André are star struck by Leigh Whannell, writer and director of UPGRADE, which is playing at the SFF. Best known for creating the hugely beloved SAW franchise, Leigh talks about how stand up is in fact scarier than SAW, what it takes to make a Leigh Whannell horror film, and radical filmmaking v.s his artistic process. While Leigh has made a career of creating horror entertainment and visually confronting films he also reveals the one confronting trope he refuses to show in his work. Talking to Leigh was funny, insightful, and for someone who created the most horrendously enjoyable booby trap films, deeply spiritual.
