Oh Canada, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie and Tracie Laymon Interview (Movie Squad Podcast #480)
The Blockbuster Babes get nostalgic and rediscover their inner children on the latest edition of the Movie Squad podcast!
First up, Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler review Oh Canada for bemused Brekky host Pam Boland. It’s the latest effort from legendary writer-director Paul Schrader, and sees him reunite with his American Gigolo star Richard Gere, who this time plays a documentarian reflecting on past regrets and cowardice (and is played in flashback by Jacob Elordi).
Then, Tristan reviews The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, while the Squad talks about the kind of kid-friendly films they enjoy (and which ones they avoid).
Both films are now in cinemas.
Stay tuned for Tristan’s interview with Bob Trevino Likes It director Tracie Laymon, and hear about the real-life inspirations behind the film, and the emotional reaction it’s getting from audiences. Listen back to our review for Bob Trevino Likes It from last week! It’s plays Perth Festival until Sunday 30 March.
Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam! And find out more about Movie Squad’s curation of Throwback Thursdays at Joondalup Festival in March. Plus, get your tickets to the Trash Classics screening of Return to Oz mentioned by Tristan on the air!
