Folks on Film

Australian Rules (with Sarah and Sam)


Listen Later

Folks on Film is a chat show about parenting and movies. Every episode our hosts, Sam and Sarah, watch a movie with a dad or a mum in it, and then come together with another parent to talk about the film, it's depiction of parenthood, and how that relates to their own experience.


For this episode of the show, first broadcast on September 28th, 2025 (the day after the AFL Grand Final), Sam was joined in the studio by co-host Sarah for a chat about Australian Rules. It's not an easy watch at time, but the folks use the film's depiction of family as a jumping off point, they chat about male anger, domestic violence, and how hate is passed down like an heirloom.


Don't come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect parents getting real and having a chat.


Come for the chat, stay for the vibe.
