Hell Is For Hyphenates – September 2018

Greg McLean joins us to talk the films of Ridley Scott!

It’s episode 100 of Hell Is For Hyphenates! After an introduction from former hosts Paul Anthony Nelson and So Mayer, Rochelle and Lee are joined by filmmaker Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, Jungle, The Belko Experiment) in front of a live audience at this year’s Melbourne Melbourne International Film Festival.

They look at the films of Greg’s filmmaker of the month, the legendary Ridley Scott. From Scott’s debut The Duellists to game-changing science fiction films Alien and Blade Runner, his films have left an indelible mark on pop culture. Thelma and Louise, Gladiator and The Martian have also been seared onto the public consciousness, and the masterful way in which he skirted the near-fatal controversies of All the Money in the World proves that after more than four decades of directing, Ridley Scott is still a force to be reckoned with.

100th Episode Live!

Have you been keeping a close eye on the file names of the podcast episodes? If so, you're a deeply strange person. But you'll also have noticed that we're climbing into the high 90s, and we're only a few shows away from the magic 100. And who can resist the lure of a big round number?

We certainly can't, so we've decided to scratch the itch by putting on a big live show!

In association with the Melbourne International Film Festival, we'll be performing a live recording of our 100th episode at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne's Federation Square. We could have just said ACMI, but we wanted it to sound momentous.

We'll be joined by special guest Greg McLean, the groundbreaking director behind Wolf Creek, Rogue, The Belko Experiment, Jungle and more. We'll be chatting with Greg about the films of Sir Ridley Scott, also no stranger to the breaking of ground. We won't bother listing Sir Ridley's films; if you know who he is, you need to see our show. And if you don't know who he is, you also need to see our show.

11 August 2018, The Cube @ ACMI

Tickets are free, but you'll need to book via the MIFF website.

And if you can't make it, stress less: the show will be released into your podcast feed on September 30.
