Geek Actually Episode 17 – Crikey

Geek ActuallyHosts: David McVay and Jacob Oberman (with a special appearance by Nicholas McVay)

This week, Mirren is sick but David tells Jacob all about Baz Lurhmann’s Australia. What went right and what went wrong. Can you see US$130 Million on screen? Jacob finally sees the Coen’s Burn After Reading and we can get his opinions on that.

We run through a selection of film and tech news including Lindsay Lohan being kicked off Facebook, George Miller’s involvement in Justice League, a new Planet of the Apes movie, casting Thor and much much more.

Also, getup.org has mounted a huge campaign to stop the Australian internet censorship policy.

Nicholas passes the studio so we drag him in too.

This episode carries an explicit tag due to possible, infrequent, bad language.
