Send Help, Blue Moon and Sound of Falling (Movie Squad Podcast #522)

January’s almost over, and the Movie Squad have solidified their themes of the year: 2026 will be a Salute to the Nepo-Parents, and a Celebration of the Art of the Tagline. Why the hell is that the case? You’ll have to listen to the latest Movie Squad pod to find out. First up, Brekky host Pamela Boland reflects on being inundated with movie recommendation, and then proceeds to get two more from Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo. Tristan reviews the Sam Raimi horror-comedy Send Help, starring Rachel McAdams as an office drone who gets stuck on a desert island with her dudebro boss (Dylan O’Brien). Then, Simon and Tristan take a look at Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke’s latest, Oscar-nominated collaboration, Blue Moon, starring Hawke as the diminutive and loquacious songwriter Lorenz Hart. Both films are now in Australian cinemas. Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive review of the latest Perth Festival flick Sound of Falling, an unnerving and ethereal German drama set over 100 years in the confines of a German farmhouse, where the tragedies and experiences of its resident women echo throughout the years. It plays the Somerville from Feb 2 to 8. Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas, WA’s premiere independent cinemas, bringing the best film content and cinematic events to Perth.
