Rev Film Fest, Fave Films of 2024 So Far and Bruce LaBruce Interview (Movie Squad Podcast #172)
Prepare your ears for one of the most jam-packed episodes of the Movie Squad pod ever!
Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo reunite with Brekky host Pamela Boland to run through their picks from the upcoming Revelation Film Festival in Boorloo, running from 3 – 14 July 2024.
First up, they discuss the special Q&A screening of the spooky Lake Mungo presented by RTRFM and Movie Squad!
Then, they cover such exciting features premiering at the fest as Aussie nerve-jangler Birdeater, slapstick comedy Hundreds of Beavers, shorts Marlu Man and Worm P*ornography, and the iconoclastic Bruce LaBruce’s controversial new feature The Visitor.
After that, your three Blockbuster Babes run through their favourite films of the year so far. What takes out top spot? Challengers? Dune Part 2? Will they overrate The First Omen? Will they underrate The Iron Claw? And where will The Idea of You land? Listen in to find out.
Keep listening for some pod-exclusive chatter as Tristan and Simon share more of their favourites from the year, respond to listener feedback and try to prove who remembers more about The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas.
Finally, stick around for Simon’s interview with Bruce LaBruce:
For more than 30 years, Canadian filmmaker LaBruce has courted controversy with his short films, features and even operas featuring graphic nudity and sex scenes. Several of his films have been banned Down Under, including the notorious LA Zombie, which fused horror comedy with real sex acts. His latest movie, The Visitor, is a collaboration with the radical art collective a/political, and once again blurs the line between narrative cinema and pornography. A remake of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Teorema, it sees a refugee wash up on British shores in a suitcase, and seduce every member of the bourgeois family who take him in. Simon caught up with Bruce ahead of The Visitor‘s debut at the Revelation Film Festival on 6 July.
