The Clappers episodes

  • The Corrections, in which Andrew schools himself; Amazing Grace, more

    In this episode Andrew demonstrates precisely why it is so risky to put one's pedantry on the line. Karl sits in on the gospel service that is Aretha Franklin's long-delayed 1971 concert film Amazing Grace, and gets down and dirty with Matteo 'Gomorra' Garrone's Dogman. Plus the art deco gem that is Melbourne's newly refurbished Capitol, the comedic gem that is Elaine May's much-maligned Ishtar, and more.

  • The Nightingale, Succession, The Loudest Voice, Les Norton, White Night

    In a packed episode of your favourite pop culture gabfest, Andrew and Karl cast their judgement on Jennifer Kent's colonial revenge thriller The Nightingale, the media drama series Succession and The Loudest Voice, the King's Cross in the 1980s potboiler Les Norton, Melbourne's three-night festival of lights, and the very notion of cool. Yes, cool. Well, they'd know, right?

  • Secret men’s business: Tarantino, Manson, Danger Close, The Boys

    It’s 50 years since Charles Manson’s ‘family’ went on their murderous rampage, and Karl checks out three new projects that highlight the hold the subject still has on filmmakers. Andrew clocks a superhero series with a difference, and Karl makes the case for Kriv Stenders’s Vietnam War movie Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan. It’s all so manly Andrew feels strangely compelled to find somewhere for a beer.

  • The Lion King, Robert Forster (and oysters), Tom Gleeson and more

    Even if you hate the songs (like he does), you really ought to see The Lion King, says Karl. Even if you hate the Logies (like he does), you really should watch Tom Gleeson's Hard Quiz, says Andrew.

    Even if Andrew can't remember talking about season one of Clique back in 2017, he really should take a look at season 2, says Karl.

    Plus Robert Forster rocks, Ninjas rule, and Jordan Peterson ... well, he's got rules, hasn't he, but that doesn't mean you ought to follow them. Goodness; is there anything these two don't have an opinion on?

  • Lambs of God, The Final Quarter, MasterChef and more

    Andrew gives Karl a verbal wedgie, revels in the comeuppance of Calombaris, and gives le Tour another spin, while Karl ponders the future of MasterChef and urges listeners to flock to Lambs of God. Plus, the Goodes, the bad and the ugly of The Final Quarter and what it says about Australia.

  • Mystify, Jeffrey Smart, le Tour, cricket, buying-when-drunk and more

    Andrew mocks Karl's choice of trousers, which prompts our hosts to consider the perils and pleasures of buying wine - and clothes - on the internet (especially when smashed); Karl makes the case for the Michael Hutchence doco Mystify, regardless of whether you're an INXS fan or not; Andrew visits a Jeffrey Smart retrospective and rabbits on about the Tour de France, because it's that time of year; and the Cricket World Cup in brief (very brief).

  • Chernobyl, Yesterday, Wild Rose, Fleabag revisited and ... Telstra woes

    In which Andrew grills Karl about why he thinks Fleabag is so great; Karl ponders the powerful (sorry) drama of Chernobyl and sings (really sorry) the praises of Jessie Buckley in Wild Rose; and our heroes ponder the bizarre coupling of Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle in the Beatles-themed Yesterday. Oh, and full-service petrol stations and no-service telcos get a look-in too. It's all here on the pop culture gabfest that is The Clappers.

  • Robots, painters, dancers and ... roast chicken

    In this episode Karl sings the praises of the made-in-Australia Netflix sci-fi film I Am Mother and the Oscar-nominated Never Look Away, the biopic that isn't of the great German painter Gerhard Richter. And Andrew gets excited about roast chicken and the miniseries Fosse Verdon, and he even finds something to like in the St Kilda Film Festival program. Just don't mention jazz, OK?

  • Handmaid’s Tale and Big Little Lies are back - but should they be?

    Plus: thank God for the Pope, or we’d have no idea what sort of behaviour was “natural”; good morning and good luck to Barrie Cassidy; Herbie Hancock and Kind of Blue live; the best gigs we never saw; and how Carlton can get back on the winning track (it’s simple, really). It’s all here on The Clappers, with Karl Quinn and Andrew Young
