• 144: Party Girl (Poodle episode)

  A re-release of last year's Poodle episode on Party Girl, after our two sold-out screenings at Thornbury Picture House earlier this week!Join the Hogg Hive (aka our members' only club) at Patreon.com/SeeAlso for ad-free episodes, bonus content and more 😘This week, Kate and Brodie are being so decadent, so silly, so Mary! They're going deep on Daisy Von Scherler Mayer's 1995 cult classic, Party Girl, a movie that follows Parker Posey as Mary, who would like a nice powerful mind-altering substance, preferably something that will make her unborn children grow gills, before learning the Dewey Decimal System. We get into designer vs vintage, Liev Schreiber's British accent (better or worse than Brodie's BE HONEST?!), building main characters from all the side characters in other films, meeting the party girls in our own lives, Sisyphus being totally famous, the truth of the film's cultural insensitivities, where has pashing on screen gone, being daffy, The "Lady" Bunny as Itself, getting sick of all the street fashion in London … all those hats, librarians getting silly on the dancefloor.

• 142: Picnic at the Hanging Rock – Poodle episode

  50 years ago, a 20-something Peter Weir decided to hypnotise us away from the possibility of solutions when he adapted Joan Lindsay's novel into the Australian gothic horror classic, Picnic at Hanging Rock. On Valentine's day in 1900, the students from Miss Appleyard's depart their fortress-like school in rural Victoria for a lazy afternoon at the base of Hanging Rock. The hot wind blows in, the clocks stop, the girls peel off their stockings and, as the ants descend on the remains of the picnic, four girls ascend the rock, along with one of their teachers. Only one of them returns. As people hear of the mysterious disappearances, search parties break out, but only one girl is recovered, missing her corset and her memory of what happened at Hanging Rock. As are we all. Because if you need an ending you're a bit weak in the head.See AlsoThe Secret of Hanging Rock available on eBay or via this PDFJoan Linsday's memoir 'Time Without Clocks' published in 1962Mulberry Hill, Joan's house which is now owned by the National TrustInterview with producer Pat Lovell in Cinema Papers from 1976Scan of the scriptDeleted scene of Mrs Appleyard at the rock NFSA page that includes info about the costumes and deleted scenes and stills, interviews with cast and crewJudith Dorsman's dollsMartin Sharp's Tiny Tim concert film is on Plex and his unfinished doc Street of Dreams is on YouTubeThe BeguiledThe FitsUmbrella's Making of Picnic at Hanging Rock – part 1 and part 2Magic Dirt's She-Riff videoThe Fast Forward sketch Anne Lambert on ABC's just Between UsNew adaptation from Sydney Theatre Company playing 17 February – 5 April 2025 Hosted on Acast.

• 139: Starstruck with Alexei Toliopoulos (Poodle episode)

  This week Kate Jinx is joined by comedian & film lover/critic/chameleon Alexei Toliopoulos to talk about Gillian Armstrong's 1982 film with that "little something extra" – Starstruck! A musical extravaganza that is So Sydney, complete with a pub under a Harbour Bridge pylon, a talent show at the Sydney Opera House (or is it the Seymour Centre) and a gig at the Lizard Lounge aka the Bondi Pavillion. A breakout role for Jo Kennedy, it's still way too underseen but Jinx and Alexei are on a mission to make everyone watch it as many times as they have.Join the Hogg Hive on Patreon to hear Alexei's Also Alsos coming soon!See Alsos:Alexei’s interview with Gillian Armstrong for the Sunburnt Screens podcastJo Kennedy in Tender Hooks (dir.
