 SPOILER WARNING - this chat may gently reveal a little bit about the the comedic premise and influence unique to the movie… This week, The Last Video Store becomes a shrine to comedic chaos, commitment, and Canadian/Australian cinematic relations as we welcome Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll, the masterminds behind the cult phenomenon Nirvanna the Band the Show - and now - The Movie. With scores from Jay, the feature directorial efforts from Matt Johnson (Blackberry, The Dirites and Operation Avalanche) are amongst Alexei’s favourites. Make sure you stick around to hear Matt’s impassioned speech about the power of Australian film.
