  • Dave’s Video Graveyard

    The other night I joined Dave Mclennan and Casey Cumming on their podcast Dave’s Video Graveyard. I’ve been a fan ever since I stumbled upon their old show on Adelaide’s WOW FM in the car many years ago.

    We talked about childhood video stores, Hungry Jack’s, ice creams, our best drive-in double features and go through my 10 favourite films of all time.

    A couple of corrections while I’ve got you. I had to double check the map and the Video Mania / Civic Video / Movieland video store I was thinking of was actually on Sturt Road in Warradale (I’m pretty sure it was on the corner of Eucla Avenue – long since knocked down and turned into houses).

    Also the 1979 film ‘Being There’ wasn’t actually mentioned in that famous scene in ‘Tropic Thunder’. It was ‘Rainman’ and ‘Forrest Gump’ but you could absolutely put it in that same category.

    Anyways, LISTEN HERE.

  • The Adelaide Show Podcast

    Had a great chat the other day with Steve Davis on The Adelaide Show Podcast. Listen to it here.

    We talked in depth about writing for Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell. I went into the finer details about how I wrote that Bunnings Conspiracy fake ad and discussed what makes a good ‘out of context footage’ joke.

    Also touched on working in radio, Good Afternoon Adelaide, VHS Revue and old Adelaide TV commercials like Southern Music Centre, Force Electronics and Cunningham’s Warehouse.

    Enjoy!

  • Hitting the podcast circuit

    I’ve made a few guest appearances on radio shows and podcasts this year (and there are more to come) as part of my one man VHS Revue publicity tour. Here are a couple of links.

    Champagne Comedy Podcast

    I joined the folks on Ep 45 of the ‘Champagne Comedy Podcast’ discussing The Late Show, Frontline, Mad as Hell and comedy/TV/radio more generally. Also spent quite a bit of time talking about G-codes.

    Available on your favourite podcast platform, or:

    Gattsy on Goosebumps

    And really enjoyed talking with Alex Gates about my Goosebumps books and VHS Revue. You can listen to our chat on his podcast ‘Gattsy on Goosebumps’ right here.

  • Francis Greenslade is Other Famous People

    Earlier this week I caught up with the very talented Francis Greenslade in my favourite Melbourne suburb in terms of pronunciation: Elsternwick. We chatted for an hour about insects, acting, Blue Heelers, Winners & Losers, Shaun Micallef, sketch comedy, theatre, musical instruments and other related things.

    Fortunately, this fascinating conversation was recorded and you can hear it all in the latest episode of David M. Green & Other Famous People. Available on iTunes, as well as in the player embedded below:

  • The Good Show Ep 4 – Andrew Bolt Loves Animals

    Hold on to your pants because it’s a brand new episode of The Good Show! The sketch comedy podcast with Anthony’s McCormack and the me guy.

    In Ep 4, we’re joined “live” in Studio Pleasant by special guest controversial commentator Andrew Bolt; Anthony reveals his new brand of Special Water; Babysitting with Michael Wincott; a paid political message from a minor political party; plus we give you the outside scoop on 31 Questions, Big Brother and the flimsy relationship between those two TV programmes.

    It’s also got the most absurdly over-produced intro theme in the history of The Good Show, if not all shows that are good (It took me 6 hours to edit the first 65 seconds!). I’ve wanted to do a ridiculous over-produced “wall-of-sound-esque” intro for a while. Something that just makes fun of commercial radio imaging. Because really, it’s worthy of ridicule. I even blended in a few grabs from some American radio promos circa 1986/87, courtesy of YouTube and some guy with a cassette tape.

    You can listen to Ep 4 of The Good Show, entitled “Andrew Bolt Loves Animals” via this embedded player thing:

    Or you can listen, download AND SUBSCRIBE to The Good Show on iTunes.

    As hilarious and elaborately edited as our sketches are, I suspect it’ll be the cameo from Australia’s most read political blogger that’ll get people talking. So for your convenience, I’ve taken the liberty of isolating Andrew Bolt’s appearance on The Good Show.

    Here is my gift to the Internet:

    Been hanging on to that one for a while.
