The Somewhat Ambitious

Tomorrow on The Breakfast Show, I’ll be bantering with Robby, Marieke and The Doctor about all manner of hot topics, including (but not restricted to):
- The death of God.
- The idiotic, bizarre and unfathomably awesome French legal system.

- The announcement [...]

Pictured above is the Mister Nesbit Grooming Kit, perfect for running from the law, provided you’ve been trapped in a mid-era Hitchcock film. The reason I said “SQUEEEEE!” out loud when I saw it was due in part to the name, but mostly because of the sheer opulence of it. The overwhelming vintage quality is [...]

The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is showing the incendiary Lynch film Blue Velvet tomorrow night at 10pm.

Are your theiving workmates constantly nabbing your sammiches?* Odds are, unless you’re the asian kid from The Goonies, you’re ill-equipped to foil such dastardly acts with any kind of righteous booby trap (a steel bolt through the brain would stop the thief, but ruin your sammich with bits of brain). Imagine my delight when a [...]
