Chatflix

This week we set up camp at Crystal Lake, we'll be ok, yeah? Brose is joined by Sophie, Matt and Jarrod to chat the genesis of Jason Voorhees and the evolution of the slasher film.

Of course we discuss all the stars; Adrienne King, Kevin Bacon and... um... the guy from the police desk in Superman and... um... that weird Scooby Doo fella... you know... from Trading Places? All the stars!

Find out our thoughts on the first step of one of the most enduring horror franchises in cinema history.

In this week's Chatflix Mini, Brose and Stu will have to wait until dark and sneak into Audrey Hepburn's apartment in search of a heroin stuffed doll. Don;t ask why, just because! While you wait, they’ll chat about Terence Young’s 1967 non-James Bond Enclosed Space Thriller flick - Wait Until Dark. With a Home Alone Hepburn and not so wet bandits Richard Crenna, Jack Weston, and a very young Alan Arkin supported by (close you eyes and listen for Batman Animated Series butler Alfred) Efrem Zimbalist Jr. Remember to get done before morning guys, they say Hepburn has plans for breakfast.

On the other side of a zombie apocalypse, Brose is unsure how he would fare... if using Colombus' rules as a guide, he'd be stuffed! Luckily, at least for this episode, he will have the help of Danielle and Kathryn.

The tea double taps their way through this great film, starring Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg and Abigail Breslin.

With a ten year gap before the sequel, how does the original hold up? Listen to this week's episode to find out!

As a bonus to our Joker review, ChatFlix regular Adam R. Thomas had a chat with friend and Clinical Neuropsychologist and Research Fellow Dr Kate Rachel Gould from the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, Monash University, for her unique, professional perspective on Joker.

An informative insight into the perception of mental illness and the representation in this powerful film.

No joking and no clowning around, this week the Chatflix team sit down for a SPOILER filled chat unpacking their reactions to the NEW release, JOKER.

Brose crams regular panelists, Danielle, Trev, Jarrod, James and Adam into a clown car as they chat garbage strikes, stand up comedy and late night talk show hosts.

Will Joaquin Phoenix terrifying portrayal of Arthur Fleck be remembered as a King of Comedy? Or something much, much worse? And is Todd Phillips, the guy who made Old School and the Hangover the right person to juggle such a delicate topic?

After much searching and investigating, Brose and Stu tracked down a phone booth and locked themselves inside to chat about Joel Schumacher's 2002 enclosed space thriller Phone Booth!

An all star cast (Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Radha Mitchell and Katie Holmes), a single location and two weeks of shooting: what could go wrong? Listen this week to find out!

This week Brose dons his PJs and gets his crane on as he chats with Danielle, Adam and James about the 1984 classic; The Karate Kid.

We chat Ralph Macchio's machismo, Pat Morita's clap and William Zabka's babka. Why is this film so enduring after so many years and did we all realise it's just a reboot of Rocky (it is even directed by the same person!)

Cobra Kai and the infamous The Karate Kid fan theory get a mention and we propose out own spin off films; The Karate Girlfriend and The Karate Man. Which would you see?

Catch the Red Eye to a new Chatflix Mini. Stu’s allocated seat is right beside Brose, together they’ll chat another in a new string of Enclosed Space Thrillers. No extra leg room here!

Secure your seatbelt tightly as the two chat the Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy thriller from 2005.

You won’t need to know where your closest exits are because you’ll be cravin’ all the insights these two deliver on this sometimes oft forgotten Wes Craven flick.

This week Brose is locked up with Looch, Kathryn and Emily to chat one of the most beloved films of all time; The Shawshank Redemption. The Stephen King adaptation that just has IT, a film that won't leave you in a state of MISERY, THE SHINING light in director Frank Darrabont's career.

This week we ask the big questions; Why is this film in everyone's favourite film list? What IS a Shawshank? And who is Stuart in Die Hard 2? Hey, Stuart!

Tim Robins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown and Drake from Aliens star in this incredible film. Listen in to see if this is a 5 star winner from this week's ChatFlix team.

In our third Melbourne Fringe Festival episode for 2019, Brose is tangled in the tempestuous tentacles as he chats The Hunger Games with Boss Octopus!

We discuss the pure, rich charisma of some of the cast (Jennifer Lawrence and Woody Harrelson especially), the origin of the love triangle (I'm a Liam Hemsworth guy myself) and our favourite Stanley Tucci quotes from Easy A!

Boss Octopus is on during the Melbourne Fringe Festival, details and tickets at: melbournefringe.com.au
