Queer and Presence (Movie Squad Podcast #200 But Actually It’s #473)

Movie Squad comes to you with this warning from beyond the grave: “Presence is not Brat!”

Before Simon Miraudo can even remotely explain what he means by that, Tristan Fidler and Breakfast host Pam Boland kick off this Movie Squad pod with a review of Daniel Craig and Luca Guadagnino’s collab Queer.

Then, a look at Steven Soderbergh’s latest formal film experiment, Presence, in which the camera plays the ghost.

Both films are now in Australian cinemas.

Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat with Simon and Tristan rating Soderbergh’s filmography, from their favourite blockbuster crowd-pleasers (yes, including the crowd-alienating Ocean’s Twelve) to his prickliest film and TV endeavours.

Also, a note: Yes, this is technically the 200th instalment of the Movie Squad podcast, which officially launched in 2018. BUT, as Tristan and Simon celebrate their 11th year on air together, they are now counting up to their 500th joint appearance, so we’re changing the counter. Just be grateful we didn’t try to also include the instalments of Movie Squad PRIOR to Tristan and Simon, back when the segment kicked off in 2004.

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 here!
