The One with Lisa Kudrow Pt. 3 is our third and final dive into the world of movies featuring Lisa Kudrow, can't say "starring" anymore as it was pretty clear after the end of the phenomenon that was Friends that none of the main cast really had any juice when it came to big time movies roles (Aniston is debatable) so she's pushed back into supporting roles playing loving mums seducing teenagers and, a nagging wife? easy to tell which of those roles was more suited.

Join myself and Nona as we dive once more into the world of forgotten and obscure movies that probably no one needs to watch.

In this episode:

• Lisa Kudrow's post friends superstardom movie career

• Unlikely Hero, why is this movie so buried with THAT cast?

• Bandslam, a post High School Musical musical that's not at all like high school musical

• The 5 is silent

The One with Lisa Kudrow Pt. 2 is our second episode exploring the life and career of Lisa Kudrow — this time diving into the obscure, downright weird and thankfully forgotten side of her movie career.

We all know her from Friends and her Hollywood "hits" like Analyze This, Dr. Dolittle 2 and Analyze That. But what about the films that slipped under the radar?

First up is the bizarre indie oddity Bark! (2002) — a super-low-budget movie that you'd be forgiven for thinking was made while Lisa was still climbing the Hollywood ladder. In reality, it was made while she was earning a million dollars per episode, as one of the biggest TV stars in the world. And her co-stars weren't exactly nobodies either.

Then we get into Marci X (2003), a much more expected film during her friends fame, where she basically gets to play Phoebe Buffay with money.

In this episode:

• Lisa Kudrow's kinda predictable Friends era movie career

• Bark! a bizarre indie oddity

• Marci X a comedy about a young female traversing black culture written by middle aged white men

• Lisa Kudrow outside of Friends

The One with Lisa Kudrow is the imaginative title we’ve come up with for our show about Lisa Kudrow because… well, it’s about Lisa Kudrow, and she was famously in the TV show Friends, which had episode titles like “The One with…”

This is the first of three shows, and in this episode I tell Nona all about her early life and career, briefly going over how she went from curing headaches to being credited for shows she’s not actually in, from her breakout role as an Amazonian warrior to starring in the biggest sitcom the world has ever seen.

So get ready for more information about Lisa Kudrow than you ever thought you’d need, before Part 2, where we actually start watching films and then talking about them.

Which movies will we be watching?

Will it be the one with the high school reunion?

Lesbian Space Princess ... nuff said? maybe not, it's a title that popped into my inbox and I thought it was a totally unnecessary 4k remastering by Vinegar syndrome of a 70s softcore romp release, but it's a actually a brand new indie animated feature that is by the directors description "fresh, female driven and gay AF". I figured as I'm non of those things, I may need a little help. So Nona is with me and we're joined by Circus strong Kora Moon, who although we never actually mention it, is a young aspiring pro wrestler. LINK!

Lesbian Space Princess celebrated its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Teddy Award, before going on to win the Audience Award for "Best Australian Feature" at the Sydney Film Festival.

A laugh-out-loud adventure through the far reaches of queer outer space, Lesbian Space Princess showcases the incredible talents of South Australian writers/ directors, Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs.

Daughter to the flamboyant lesbian Queens of Planet Clitopolis, introverted Princess Saira is devastated when her bounty-hunter girlfriend, Kiki, suddenly breaks up with her for being too needy.

After Kiki is kidnapped by forgotten incels of the future, the Straight White Maliens, Saira must leave the comforts of gay space to deliver their ransom: her royal labrys (the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind). Only problem is… she doesn’t have it!

With just a 24-hour window to get her labrys and save Kiki, Princess Saira finds herself on an inter-gay-lactic journey of self-discovery that includes encounters with a problematic spaceship and a new-found friendship with gay-pop runaway Willow.

An animated comedy like no other, Lesbian Space Princess is a riotous, candy-coloured joy from start to finish: an animation by emerging creatives that embraces LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse voices, on and off-screen.

Lesbian Space Princess is voiced by Shabana Azeez (Birdeater, The Pitt), Bernie Van Tiel (Class of 07, Swift Street), Gemma Chua Tran (Heartbreak High, Ladies in Black), Aunty Donna (Aunty Donna’s Big Ol House of Fun, Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe), Richard Roxburgh (Rake, Elvis, Van Helsing), Jordan Raskopolous (The Strange Chores, I Am Woman), Madeleine Sami (Deadloch, The Breaker Upperers) and Kween Kong (RuPaul’s Drag Race).

TotalCultDocFest continues as me and Mark Plant from 100 things we learned form film talk about Football in Greenland. It's a funny old game!

No Place for Football is a feature documentary that explores perseverance, identity, and the unifying power of sport in one of the most remote regions on Earth. Set along the Arctic Circle, the film follows Nuuk-based football club, B67, as they navigate a series of obstacles as they travel north to compete in Greenland’s uniquely brief football season. 

With unprecedented access, the film captures the team’s journey to Ilulissat, as they pursue the title of national champions, while contending with fierce rivals, overcoming physical hardship, and the weight of representing their community. Through intimate storytelling and Greenland’s backdrop of striking visuals, No Place for Football offers a rare glimpse into life in Greenland, where the world’s most popular sport isn’t just a game, it’s the cultural heartbeat of the world’s largest island.

­Crossing above the Arctic Circle, the people of Greenland live a life unfamiliar to the rest of the world. It’s a place where the grass of a football pitch finds the temperatures too cold to grow, roads aren’t a means of transportation from one town to the next, and looming icebergs offer a subtle reminder that winter isn’t just around the corner; it never left.

No Place for Football is an intimate look at one team’s experience during the world’s shortest season (one week) as they battle the elements en route to the host city, the struggle to maintain healthy players in harsh environments and the pressures of returning home victorious. Led by captain Patrick Frederiksen and head coach Nicolai Nielsen, club B67 from Nuuk travels north to the host town of Ilulissat, with the dream of becoming National Champions. But if the boys from Nuuk are to be successful, they’ll have to overcome a series of obstacles along the way, including a showdown with their bitter rival and hometown club, N48.

Joint Statement from the Directors, Brandon Scott Smith and Derek Sullivan Smith; "With all eyes on the upcoming FIFA World Cup, we’re excited to share the story of one country still waiting to get in. Football in Greenland shows that in some places, it’s still all about playing for the love of the game, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience the story of their season in one of the most remote places on earth."

Sorry if your offended by this one you little snowflakes, but it's time we stood up to all this political correctness that going on in the world and, do something rebellious, like drink a beer and listen to George Clinton while having relations with a lady.

Sarcasm mode all over this show folks, as I link up with Boo for another trip back to the 90s to cover THE MOST OFFENSIVE FILM OF 1994! Politically correct party animals, or PCU, as that's what all the press calls it. What! you haven't heard of it? you're probably not American and didn't catch the endless reruns on comedy central.

Listen in as we talk about probably the least offensive "offensive movie" ever.

This week I'm joined by Philip Bedwell (he's never been in neighbours or Home and away) to talk about a few things, First his new role in BFI short Choke hold, then about fun fake fighting in films, Depressing realities of the real life fight world and eventually we stumble into Russell Crowe's new MMA movie Beast.

It gets real spoilery real fast, so turn off when the trailer kicks in if you really don't want to know what happens... although to be honest, the trailer shows you most of what happens.

Directed by Tyler Atkins (Bosch, Rockit), Beast stars Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind), Daniel MacPherson (Foundation, Land of Bad) & Luke Hemsworth (The Witcher, WestWorld). Other stars of the film include Bren Foster, George Burgess, Mojean Aria, Kelly Gale, Amy Shark and Saphira Moran. The film was co-written by David Frigerio (Land of Bad) & Russell Crowe, marking Crowe's second writing credit, following Poker Face in 2022.

Beast follows ex-con Patton James (Daniel MacPherson), who abandoned his mixed martial arts dream to support his wife, Luciana (Kelly Gale), and daughter. When Patton’s brother Malon suffers a serious injury in a fi ght to make good on his debts, Patton has to risk everything to get back in the ring to avenge him. But to reclaim his old glory and succeed in the ONE Championship, Patton must regain the trust of his ace trainer (Russell Crowe) and keep his own family together.

Nona and me once again review a movie where the poster features an open mouthed lady... it's a trend it seems, as is opening the film with "based on a true story" which we go into why that's not actually as smart as film makers think it is, especially when dealing with cults. Yeah! a cult film in the Total Cult Zone, one with a dead dog that's not a dead dog, an evil witch and some of the poorest decisions ever made by characters in a film.

The Australian-produced supernatural horror, directed by Daniel J. Phillips (Awoken), comes to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. The film stars Elizabeth Cullen (Evil Dead Wrath), John Kim (The Little Things), Mia Challis (Clickbait) and Terence Crawford (The Babadook).

After suffering terrifying blackouts, a young woman returns to the religious compound where she was raised. As she unravels the dark secrets of her past, an ancient ritual unleashes the vengeful spirit of a cursed witch.

Welcome to TotalCult DocFest 2026, I've had a lot of documentaries in my inbox of late, so many I figure I hold a mini series of them on the show. What better way to start off DocFest than a doc about a fest. Big thank you to Subjective for sending it over, check them out at www.subjectivemovies.com

When a group of independent filmmakers attend ScorpiusFest, a small film festival in Park City, Utah held the same week as Sundance, they discover a chaotic one-man operation held in a conference room with no projector. After meeting the festival's founder, Steffon Olsen, they return the following year with cameras to document and help run the event.
