Ep 68: ORIGIN DECIDER SPECIAL (featuring Fire Up!)

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.

Comedian, actor, presenter and classically trained singer from Grimsby. Known for his unique blend of humour and vocal prowess, Lloyd has graced both the comedy circuit and the choral stage. His television credits include Ted Lasso, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Live at the Apollo, Soccer AM, Flinch and Can You Beat The Bookies?. More recently, Lloyd stars as Detective Senior Constable Colin Cartwright in the Australian crime dramedy Return to Paradise. Lloyd speaks about growing up as a chorister and how that shaped his appreciation for architecture, music and travel. This leads to an extremely niche but thoroughly entertaining countdown of his top 10 cathedrals from around the world. Spoiler: that extremely ugly one in Barcelona doesn’t make the list. An unusually cultured chat for this show, from one of Britain’s best and brightest exports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
