December 25, 2021 Must-See Movies for this Holiday Season and New Year
With Christmas Day behind us, the Out Takes team took a deep dive with this special program to look at many of the great films that are coming our way from Boxing Day and into the New Year.
West Side Story, House of Gucci, Licorice Pizza, The Power of the Dog, The Matrix Resurrections, King Richard, The Tragedy of Macbeth and more; obviously there is a lot on offer to discuss with this fantastic line up of blockbusters, art house, documentaries and biopics plus a few remakes and reboots of course. So to do this justice we brought in the big guns, Cinema Nova CEO Kristian Connelly and Madman Cinema’s Theatrical Acquisitions Manager Paul Tonta, to share with us the films they’re excited to see this holiday season and give us some tips on a few films that are not to be missed in the year ahead.
Of course the Out Takes team also had our say on what films we’re really looking forward to seeing these holidays and in 2022; as always an eclectic selection with lots of strong opinions but when it comes to us, what else would you expect!

December 21, 2021 The Out Takes Guide to the 2021 Gay Christmas Films
This week on Out Takes, Gina was taking a well deserved break so the boys went full yuletide gay by reviewing some of the latest, queerest, most saccharine Christmas cinema: SINGLE ALL THE WAY, THE CHRISTMAS SET UP and CHRISTMAS ON THE FARM.
We broke each film down for you so you know what to watch this holiday season and what to avoid. We also talked about representation (severly lacking in this bunch of films) and what we’d truly love to see in a queer holiday film. C’mon Santa, we promise we’ll be good, please bring us a truly great LGBTIQ Christmas Movie in 2023!
Merry Christmas to you all, thanks for listening to and supporting Out Takes.

December 13, 2021 ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ with special guest director Stephen Chbosky
For this Out Takes, we turned the whole program over to ‘Dear Evan Hansen’, the latest in a line of blockbuster-stage-musical-to-big-screen adaptation that is in cinemas now across Australia and has sparked a lot of conversations around casting, representation and more. We were delighted to feature an exclusive interview with the films director Stephen Chbosky where we spoke about his incredibly diverse entertainment career, how he became involved with adapting another musical to the screen and the challenges involved in directing and delivering a film during a global pandemic. It’s a great interview and is not to be missed.
‘Dear Evan Hansen’ is a critically acclaimed multi award winning musical that opened on Broadway in December 2016. At the 71st Tony Awards, ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ was nominated for nine awards, winning six, including Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for Ben Platt, Best Musical and Best Score plus it also won a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.
The film adaptation from Universal Pictures was co-produced by Marc Platt, the father of Ben Platt who reprised his performance in the title role, alongside an ensemble cast including Kaitlyn Dever, Amandla Stenberg, Nik Dodani, Julianne Moore, and Amy Adams and was directed by our very special guest for this program, Stephen Chbosky.
