Ep 60 - Animal Farm, This is Living

Ep 60 - Animal Farm, This is Living

HELLO PIGGIES. We get down and dirty with The Bloomshed and their meltingly good Animal Farm. In Intermission we discuss the Venn overlap between this and Barbie. Our second act takes us to the Malthouse for This is Living - Ash Flanders ode to chronically ill queers who want to run away to the country (Carla was ATTACKED). And in Coming Soon we recommend the Pulse program at Melbourne Fringe and the REWIRE program at Geelong Arts Centre. This was a truly joyous return to form, and felt like the before time with a little more existential death rattle thrown in. Our favourite! Long live queer irony as the pathway to pleasure and salvation.

Ep 59 - Grand Theft Theatre, Identity

Ep 59 - Grand Theft Theatre, Identity

Happy winter listeners! We hope this finds you well and rugged up. This month we discuss Pony Cam's Grand Theft Theatre and the shows that have left an indelible mark on us. Intermission chatter plugs the HBO show Barry (better than Succession? you decide!) and the Music Viva International Chamber Music Championship. Our second act is the Australian Ballet's double bill Identity. An odd pairing we couldn't wrap our brains around. Our Coming Soon recommendations are This is Living, An Uprising of Dreams, the Women's World Cup and hyper local video store documentary Rainbow Video.

Ep 52 - Shadow, Give Me Pity!

Across the Aisle attends MIFF! Phil reporting deep from the trenches of all the pleasures of MIFF (queues, choc tops, darting from one venue to the other) and Carla from her loungeroom on the Surf Coast annihilated on edibles. Films covered are Back to Back Theatre's award winning Shadow - a luscious celluloid imagining of their stage plays that "wonders whether an AI-led near-future society will further disenfranchise the disabled community" and the gloriously deranged Give Me Pity! starring Sophie von Haselberg as Sissy St. Clair in her first Saturday Night Special - ingenue, entertainer, demonically possessed.  We also chat cinema going (how do you do it?) and what is Coming Soon. Enjoy!
