    David and Daniel talk (for a bit longer than usual) about 1982's originally celebrated, but now largely forgotten, comedy drama Lonely Hearts. Do the voices of lauded indie auteur Paul Cox and beloved humourist John Clarke blend well together? Can a filmmaker with more Euro-centric leanings make a film that resonates with a mainstream audience? Does the movie make us a believe that an in-her-thirties Wendy Hughes would find romantic connection with an in-his-fifties Norman Kaye? Please enjoy.

    Daniel and David talk about John Ruane's dark comedy from 1991, Death in Brunswick. Is Sam Neill miscast, or perfectly cast, as the lead? Why did it take so long for Australia to attempt this style of comedy? And can the world have John Clarke back for just a little while??
