Bonus! - Gettin' Square
A beloved Aussie indie starring Sam Worthington? Whatreyaonabout, mate? Grab a coldie, put some shrimp on the barbie, invite a couple of Sheilas over, and listen to Alex and Julio try to make sense of GETTIN’ SQUARE - a Guy Ritchie rip-off from down under. Does this movie confirm Sam Worthington’s appeal is an Australian fetish? Did director Jonathan Teplitzky not realize Timothy Spall is only meant to play supporting roles? And which clown school did David Wenham graduate from - and do they offer refunds? All this and more in our latest Patron Demand episode!
