it’s a film nerd coming-of-RAGE - and dear friends of the pod Parker and Flynn are here ta dish the dirt !!

Pls welcome back the Underground Film Collective (Parker Constantine and Flynn Boffo), who have travelled ALL the way from Sydney to creep inside the studio and talk THE DIRTIES - Canadian indie maverick Matt Johnson’s directorial debut.

Balancing big edgelord laughs and profound empathy for its characters, this (very) dark comedy sees Johnson and Owen Williams playing bullied teens whose fantasies of revenge spiral into sinister action.

If (like us) u just got into NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE ETC, or loved Johnson’s BLACKBERRY and OPERATION AVALANCHE, this emo cinephile high school diary will rattle n impress you. AND it’s just been released in a nifty Umbrella box-set with brilliant essays from Flynn and dear pod pal Ivana Brehas!!!

We r all mad about Matt and keen to break down those tantalising, sometimes wafer-thin barriers the filmmaker sets between his IRL self and his striving film bro characters. listen up to hear us tryin to keep up with the Johnson(s)!!!
