Alister Newstead — author of the new 33⅓ Oceania book on Tame Impala's Currents and Double J’s music & pop culture reporter — joins Angus Truskett for a conversation about whether we’re living in a golden age of culture, perfect needle drops, and the work of late Australian animation pioneer Yoram Gross.
We get into: switching into author mode, fandom and accessibility, the “golden age” question, Safdie face, Oscar snubs, Timmy talk, Park Chan-wook, Akira as gateway anime, a Yoram Gross reappraisal, scores vs soundtracks, biopics vs music documentaries, whether any movie tie-in games are actually good, newsroom genre kink, “getting” Fight Club, Quentin Tarantino’s 10-film limit, catching up on Titanic, Mad God makes TOOL look like Disney, the Pringles curve, and whether Hideo Kojima should make a movie.
Music by Gab Strum.
