Our first month of the year is drawing to a close as we wrap up our second ever AUSTRALIA V CANADA month with a Canadian movie that we feel everybody should see, the 2001 thriller that is Treed Murray. How great is this movie? Why is it forgotten about when it is so good? Are parks in Toronto really that dangerous? How is this movie so good at making us love all the characters but hate them at the same time? Was the tree in other other movies? How did this movie get no acting award nominations? Why do we feel bad for homeless people watching this movie? And seriously, why does this movie get no love? Climb a tree and start yelling for one movie you won’t soon forget!
As we continue AUSTRALIA V CANADA month it’s time to get maybe the most Australian we can possibly get by going over the iconic 1986 movie that is Crocodile Dundee. Does this movie hold up at all 35 years later? Do we feel this movie represents Australia correctly or is it a bit too much? Is Linda Kozlowski underrated as an actress? Does this movie sell Australia well? Is this movie really that offensive all these years later? Does this movie have a plot? Why do things happen in this movie that don’t really lead anywhere? Is there any humour in this movie? Why are the iconic lines weird that they are iconic? And how is the ending weird but good at the same time? It’s all here for a bonza good time so get to listening!
Another week of AUSTRALIA V CANADA month is here as we get all Canadian by looking at one weird as heck movie that is regarded as one of the greatest Canadian movies of all time, Dead Ringers from 1988. What the hell is this movie? What do we think of Jeremy Irons? Can we make any sense of it? Why does Colin like this movie more than Ben? Is Ben just dumb? Is Colin just smart? Is this movie as dirty as Colin makes it out to be? Why is this movie like watching your old uncle and aunt? Is this movie scary? Is this movie gross? Is this movie even a movie? And seriously, what is this movie? Get your mind into some form of shape and try and understand it as we continue this month in a weird way.
It’s time for our first month of recaps for 2021 and we’re bringing back a popular month from last year as we once again go AUSTRALIA V CANADA month in looking at two classic Aussie films and two classic Canadian films to get you excited over the next four weeks! We kick things off today with a closer look at the severely underrated Aussie comedy that nobody seems to remember already, the 2018 film Swinging Safari! Why does Ben love this movie so much? Can Colin understand anything that is going on in this film? What do we think of the cast, and why are Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce and Julian McMahon so awesome? Why is this movie so fast and does it take away from it? Is this movie even about anything? Should it have taken a different direction to make it make more sense? What Canadian reference is there that Colin randomly got excited about? And does Australian humour make sense to anybody that isn’t Australian? Get your sunblock on and get ready to blow up a whale in one hell of a ride!
We’re back for another SPOILER FREE movie review from another movie that is actually a 2020 movie but we managed to watch in 2021, as we go over the second Gerard Butler end of the world movie and the first actual good one in Greenland. Why has Ben finally turned around on Gerard Butler? Why did taking a different angle on a standard end of the world movie actually work? Would this movie have worked better on the big screen? Is there actually a good child actor in this movie? Are we happy with the Canada connection? Why isn’t Morena Baccarin a bigger thing? Why do we feel such an emotional connection to this movie? And will this movie actually get some more recognition it probably deserves? Get to listening and get to looking to the sky in our latest episode!
Welcome to 2021 and welcome to our first review of the year as we bring you a SPOILER review of the movie that we waited and waited and waited for and now might have some differing opinions on, Wonder Woman 1984! Which host absolutely loved this movie and the other just doesn’t know how they feel? Does this movie deserve all the hate it has been getting or is there more to it? Why is Gal Gadot so awesome? Should this movie have been set in the 1980s or could they have set it at any point of history? Are there too many villains in this film that turn it into a bit of a Spider-Man 3 scenario? How do the boys feel about Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig? How do they feel about Chris Pine? And most importantly, does this movie change their overall Chris rankings? There’s a lot to unpack and a lot to get excited about is we start 2021 in style!
It’s time to close out a massive year of The Oz Network with our regular ‘Best Of’ episode to get you reminiscing about all the good, bad and other moments that have made this year so memorable! There are the moments that made you laugh, the moments that made you cringe, the moments that made you listen and the moments that made you wonder why you still listen. It’s all here and more! So sit back, relax and listen to the best of the year in a couple of hours from your favourite (and some not so favourite) co-hosts in Ben, Colin, Rocky, Jarrod, Jamie, Mallory and others to make your 2020 actually end on a good note!
It’s time to close out our Christmas month in style by looking at the 2003 movie that everybody loves, Elf! Why are we sceptical of our opinion of this episode, and why has at least one host had their opinion changed? How amazing is Will Ferrell in this movie and how was he not nominated for any awards for it? How amazing is the cast overall? Does the fantasy world weirdly make too much sense? Why is people getting hit by cars apparently so funny? Does the rest of the movie not really make that much sense? Is this movie made for kids or adults? Is it as good as people say it is? And how will this turn out on our overall rankings for our Christmas movie month? Get your green suits on and get ready to yell SAAAANTAAAA as we close out our year of recaps in style!
Our penultimate Christmas recap is here as we look at the 2004 Ben Affleck movie that is…well…interesting…Surviving Christmas! Why can we not actually fully hate this movie? Why do we appreciate Ben Affleck so much? Why do the other actors just sort of play roles that we don’t know what they’re meant to be? Is this movie too fast? What do we think of the girlfriend and is she really the bad guy in this movie? Why do we feel sorry for the teenage boy? Is Christina Applegate the villain of this film? Is this movie just the same as Christmas With The Kranks? And what dong references are somewhat appropriate for this recap? It’s all here in one hell of an episode for you to survive!
A special episode today for something that we could simply not avoid talking about as we give you a SPOILER review of the finale of season 2 of The Mandalorian that is still having us be excited a few days later! Just why is this maybe the single best piece of Star Wars we’ve seen since Disney bought Lucasfilm? Which actors are Ben & Colin finally excited to talk about? Why has this show been so good the whole time it has been on? Is this episode actually good, or does one moment make it good? Were we expecting there to be a post-credits scene? Why has Disney finally pulled off the art of making some good twists and good publicity work for them? And where will this show go now moving forward after what we have seen in this episode? Get yourself ready and strap in for one hell of a ride!
