The #1 movie review podcast by people with no expertise, experience or affiliation with the industry. A no holds barred, balls to the wall, sweet ass look at the gamut of movies specifically fitting the genre of "4pm 7mate filler between American Pickers and Pawn Stars"
Shocking how long it took of us talking Whiplash without doing the Bee Movie "ya like jazz" thing, but there you go.
We return from a successful jaunt to Taiwan to talk the greatest sports movie ever made about Jazz. It's the best film Damian Chazelle will ever make because his dream project was La La Land and that shit sucked: Whiplash (2014), starring J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller as an old pedagogue and the young protege he clearly wants to murder. Giss a listen
more expert coverage of Blood Diamond, proudly presented live from the Wheelie Bin Drag Race Studios in beautiful Canning Vale.
That's right we're back and getting straight down to it. It's the biggest action/war/psychological thriller/social problem/cultural commentary film of 2006 (except for The Last King of Scotland and The Wind That Shakes The Barley and Kokoda and Letters From Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers). That's right, it's visionary director Edward Zwick's Blood Diamond. Much to discuss, giss a listen
Tried to schedule the episode to upload last week, cocked it up, my bad lmao. It's the rest of the Golden Wheelies, now with nearly 80% less on-the-nose criticism of weird racist religious sects.
It's the night of nights, or the day, or whenever you're listening to this. That's right, it's the biggest, most prestigious podcast-based film award show in the entire Greater Perth region. Who will take home that sweet Wheelie Bin Gold? Hosted by the Hollywood Press of Very Foreign Reviewers, Independent Editorialists and Non Descript Satirists.
Film discussion? Nah, the people don't want film discussion. What they want is an underground, guerrilla, VICE-style expose into the culture and practices of the Brits. Or the English maybe, we don't know the difference and don't care to learn. Regular programming to recommence soon...ish. In the meantime, enjoy an overly verbose and often redundant hate screed mumbled by a loony left overeducated and underskilled terrorist sympathiser.
Steven Soderbergh's No Sudden Move: A visually and narratively incoherent hellride, or a tight, stylised thrillride on par with the best of '70s crime thrillers? Guess which one we go with. Lewin's mike is still fucked, defs his fault but I'm not sure how yet. Also in discussion:
Keep those Palestine donations up @ https://www.pcrf.net/, I reckon we're three weeks out from being declared an enemy of the state of New York, just like we always planned
microphone went and shat the bed so we had to re-record a rush job. A new episode of Lew'se Morals and Chris'p ethics later this week to compensate
In this episode, me and Lewin run out of our own content and start stealing more from Agony Aunt columns. And later, a brief, not overly verbose, and certainly not pretentious apology for the Seinfeld comments.
Today we're talking The Man, a 2005 buddy cop comedy film starring Sam Jackson and Eugene Levy, and then get tired of it within twenty minutes and talk about whichever movies we've seen during our two-week hiatus which was definitely planned and not the result of our ongoing inability to schedule recording sessions properly. Does phrenology have a place in modern science? Is Luca solely a work of pro-italian PC pandering? Where is the line between satire and alt-right dogwhistling? All these answers and more in today's show.
Lowest mentions of Israel in any episode so far, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. At least until I turn sponsorships back on. https://www.pcrf.net/
this is the best I could scrape together from my wet cake brain. honestly just wait for next week's episode, it'll be top notch
Still though, donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund: https://www.pcrf.net/
Fuckin I was up till 9.30am arguing with a manager from a shift last night and lewin ate a pot brownie and couldn't figure out how to work his xbox. New episode tomorrow or something I dunno fuck man
Now presenting a sophisticated discussion of Master of Disaster Roland Emmerich's magnum opus, The Day After Tomorrow. Is it worth making a $125 million blockbuster just to live out a fantasy of owning Dick Cheney? The answer is yes.
Donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund - https://www.pcrf.net/ - and listen to the end music for a surprise
That's right, it's time to talk about the greatest star of 1998 to 2003, Brendan Fraser. How did he rise? How did he fall? Will we finally get the Brenaissance we all deserve? Only one thing is clear: donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. https://www.pcrf.net/
and the real star is Tom Hardy's penis.
Turned the ads off, to celebrate donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund instead: https://www.pcrf.net/
cbf with the fractions anymore. It's the best trailers of the 2000s according to a listicle I read and then immediately lost the link to. let's get nostalgic
In honour of glorious leader Mark McGowan's decision to steal two-up from us on ANZAC Day, we're talking two equally incorrect visions of a pandemic-riddled society, except one's good and the other was made by Michael Bay. It's Soderbergh's 2011 masterpiece, Contagion, and 2020's Songbird, a film made by and starring people I've never heard of. Also, the Oscars.
Recorded before the lockdown hit so it's not about that, instead it's just an hour of cultivating an appeal so niche it could only entertain exactly one person, and it's the person talking. And the ads are off, so there's that
Yeah so today we're getting into one of the filthiest, most controversial films to precede Lars Von Trier's library of revolutionary genital-mutilation fetish art, or just like, anything that ever got posted on DeviantArt. That's right, it's the 1980s seminal gay BDSM erotic thriller, Cruising, starring Al Pacino. Is BDSM a healthy lifestyle choice for you? Which hanky do you wear in which pocket to attract a watersports enthusiast? Why the hell do we keep forgetting to speak into the mike when we're recording? The answers to all these questions and more in today's episode.

In our smoothest-brained episode yet, it's almost entirely spoiler-free coverage of the year's biggest blockbuster, Godzilla vs Kong, delivered by a man-boy-child driven by an overdose of caffeine and a pathological inability not to follow any errant thought into a meaningless tangent.

It's the biggest showdown of the century. A no holds barred throwdown between the forces of cynicism and optimism, as Lewin and Chris grease themselves up and wrestle with the question - Is the (apparent) final culmination of Snyder's DC Universe any good?
Also in this episode, the debut of a brand new probably not plagiarised school of film criticism emerges- The Triumvirate Theory of the Appreciation of Radness. Go on, have a listen, you didn't need any of those brain wrinkles anyway.

The thrilling conclusion to our discussion of Zack Snyder's 2009 Watchmen. Erectile dysfunction, the divide between man and superman, whether we're better at cinematography than Zack, it's all here. No WBDRN this week, this took way too long. Cheers

In tribute to Snyder, we go full maximalist and end up recording for way too long, leading to our first two part episode. That's right, we're talking Zack Snyder's 2009 superhero/Cold War/cryptofascist propaganda epic, Watchmen. On the nose needle drops, philosophical discussions on the nature of time, electric blue nuclear dong appreciation abound. Part two up soon as we're done editing it.

The Oprah Interview. The Canberra Allegations. Whatever the hell "Rexit" is supposed to be. All these stories and more, on Wheelie Bin Drag Race News.
Absolutely cooked the goose on the audio quality by trying to edit at 3am after a night out, but the mixer's arrived so it's the last week of crap audio. Couple of special guests join us to discuss the 2004 war epic Troy, but instead we lean too hard into the nostalgia and end up reviewing old tagged photos on Facebook.

I lied, Lewin's back next week.
A housing crisis. Racist municipal districts. A media diversity inquiry. All this hilarious stuff and more as WBDRN returns, and burns out immediately in a gross attempt to establish continuity and spawn some kind of Extended Wheelie Bin Drag Race Cinematic News-iverse.

The Dynamic and Sensual news team at Wheelie Bin Drag Race News returns.
We also cover "Lovecraft Country" in the series finale of the Prestige Worldwide series, which definitely hasn't become and never was a self-indulgent showcase of masturbatory contrarianism.
