Few films capture the menace of the Outback like this one. As Horrortober Down Under nears its end, we look at one of Australia's great lost films: Ted Kotcheff's Wake in Fright. Gary Bond stars as John Grant, a schoolteacher trying to get home from the Outback who gets far more than he bargained for, with Donald Pleasence as the unforgettable Doc Tydon. Along the way he sheds every bit of civility and learns the truth about the less-traveled side of Australia. It's a wild journey, so prepare yourself. We dig into the film, its effect on cinema, and that notorious kangaroo hunt.
On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel and Dark Destination's Father Malone join Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Wake in Fright, Donald Pleasence, that kangaroo hunt, and so much more.
