David Stratton, Aus Idol Chats, ‘The Life of Chuck’ & Em’s Ballroom is Back!
For decades, Aussie film lovers, especially Em and Michael, devoured David Stratton’s work reviewing movies with Margaret Pomeranz on SBS and the ABC, so we start this episode remembering David’s work. Michael also reveals for the very first time, what it was like to be the subject of one of their reviews with his debut film, ‘Not Suitable for Children’ starring Sarah Snook and Ryan Kwanten.
Then Em reveals she had just finished a harrowing interview about her book ‘Blood, Sweat and Glitter’ with Osher Gunsberg, who she first met on the set of ‘Australian Idol’ which ushers in a flood of flashbacks.
We also get Em’s spoiler free review of the new Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill film ‘The Life of Chuck’ PLUS she reveals her Ballroom Sessions are returning for one night only. This time with a VERY special guest, in a much bigger venue and on a Saturday night as well.
Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Michael’s done the full Taylor Swift New Heights podcast so you don’t have to, Em has thoughts on Kylie’s Showgirls themed post, plus Michael reveals he hung out with ‘Wednesday’ creator Tim Burton. You can get access and listen to all of that and MORE for just $1.87 a week, or watch the full video of both episodes back to back via the Supercast website for $2.50 a week at emsolation.supercast.com
