We Bury the Dead, Saipan and Mother of Flies (Movie Squad Podcast #523)

Don’t say we don’t take you anywhere nice. On this week’s edition of the Movie Squad podcast with Tristan Fidler, Simon Miraudo and Pamela Boland, the Blockbuster Babes visit Tasmania for Zak Hilditch’s homegrown zombie flick We Bury the Dead, starring Daisy Ridley, Brenton Thwaites and Mark Coles Smith. (It was actually filmed in Albany.) Then, it’s a quick trip to Saipan, a retelling of the (metaphorically) explosive Saipan incident that turned Ireland’s preparations for the 2002 World Cup on its head, starring Steve Coogan. (It was actually shot in Belfast.) Both films are now in Australian cinemas. Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive review of the latest Adams Family flick Mother of Flies, about a young woman and her father visiting a rumoured witch for a cure to her cancer, and finding out she’s at the centre of a supernatural scheme instead. It’s streaming now on Shudder. 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.
