Hell Is For Hyphenates

Film business factotum Rob Ruminski joins the Hyphenates to discuss the films of January 2011, and debate the filmography of wunderkind Darren Aronofsky.

Film critic Tara Judah joins the December edition of Hyphenates to talk over that month’s films, heatedly debate a contentious blockbuster, and check out the filmography of the Pope of Trash: John Waters.

Cinetology’s Luke Buckmaster guest hosts the November edition, in which the films of that month are debated at length, and the filmography of Tony Scott proves divisive!

Australian Film Institute Editor Rochelle Siemienowicz guest hosts the October edition to look over the films of that month, figure out whether Kevin Smith’s anti-critic rants have any merit, and check out the filmography of director Sofia Coppola.

“Summer Coda” director Richard Gray joins the Hyphenates to discuss the films of September, debate whether complete accuracy is necessary in biopics, and look over the filmography of director Paul Thomas Anderson.

The Bazura Project’s Shannon Marinko joins the Hyphenates to argue over the films of August 2010, debate whether discussing a film’s box office takings is worthwhile or not, and look back at the career of possibly the most underrated director of the 70s and 80s.

Paul and Lee sit on the couch with friend, collaborator and filmmaker Tim Egan. They look back at the films of July 2010, debate film censorship in Australia, and debate the films of Christopher Nolan.

In the first official Hell Is For Hyphenates podcast, Paul and Lee are joined by Melbourne film critic extraordinaire Thomas Caldwell of Cinema Autopsy fame. They look back at the films of June 2010, ask whether you can still enjoy a film if you disagree with its fundamental philosophy, and debate the films and career of Tim Burton.

Welcome to the Hell Is For Hyphenates podcast! In anticipation of our first episode, please enjoy our pilot test run. Paul and Lee look back at the films of May 2010, try to name a single high-quality fourth film in any film series, and take a look at the filmography of Woody Allen.
