BETOOTA TALKS: The Story of Sir Joh Bjelke-Peterson (with Kriv Stenders)
Before Trump there was Joh. A laconic right-wing Premier who ruled Queensland with an iron first for 20 years. A cowboy politician who was surrounded by corruption at every level - but always managed to avoid going down. At his disposal was a hippy-bashing police force that is alleged to have murdered numerous political opponents and whistleblowers. It’s a chapter of Australian history that everyone wants to forget. Especially Queenslanders. ESPECIALLY the National Party. This week’s guest has done the opposite, one of Queensland’s great filmmakers, Kriv Stenders, joins the Betoota Talks to discuss this era of Australian politics, and his new documentary that’s available now on Stan. It’s tilted JOH - THE LAST KING OF QUEENSLANDSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Philippou Brothers Visit Betoota
Instead of the Weekly, we're taking a trip to Betoota's very own video store, with clerk Alexei Toliopolous. Twin brothers Danny and Michael Philippou are the most excited voices in Australian genre cinema since the release of their horror hit TALK TO ME. Their latest film, BRING HER BACK is another emotionally resonant horror exploration of grief and loss that, in many ways, surpasses their remarkable debut. Starring Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (THE SHAPE OF WATER), Billy Barrat (RESPONSIBLE CHILD), Jonah Wren Phillips (HOW TO MAKE GRAVY) and newcomer Sora Wong, BRING HER BACK is poised to be the horror event of 2025. It’s more than a pleasure to have RackaRacka peruse the shelves of the Last Video Store and pick out some of the films that influenced them.
