Episode 63: Fortress + Fortress

It's 8 o'clock in the F#%KING MORNING and we are joined by full grown sandgroper, Adam Trainer to dig up a couple of unsung antipodean gems. We discuss Fortress (1985), directed by Arch Nicholson, and then Fortress (1992 - no relation), directed by Stuart Gordon. Deep kindertrauma in the bush and dystopian prisonbreak glory - this week's episode is a psychedelic trip down some very obscure Australian rabbitholes so put on your stubbies and blue singlet, crack open a VB longneck and settle back for a couple of hours of Ozploitation fun. It's not really possible to spoil Fortress '92, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Fortress '85. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:18:47 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch? You can reach us on [email protected] Theme music: "The Cold Light of Day" by HKM. Check out HKM on #SoundCloud or Bandcamp Our outro music today is "Son of Neck" by Adam's band Original Past Life (M. Caratti, W. Hall, A. Trainer)
