Something To Talk About: David and Margaret 

David Stratton David joins Sarrah to chat about Australian cinema, his enduring friendship with Margaret, his thoughts on some of his most infamous reviews and the one film he thought was so awful he walked out of the cinema.

Before he retired last year, David Stratton spent nearly six decades reviewing movies. And millions of Australians came to know and love him thanks to an on-air partnership with fellow critic Margaret Pomeranz, which turned them into household names and one of the most beloved double acts in the country. 

On the show today, David joins Sarrah from his home – where he is still watching one, and often two, movies each day – to discuss his latest project, a book that chronicles three pivotal decades in Australian film; his enduring friendship with Margaret; his thoughts on some of his most infamous reviews – including an initially lukewarm reaction to comedy classic The Castle, and another that landed him in hot water with Julie Andrews - and the one film he thought was so awful he walked out of the cinema.

David Stratton’s new book Australia At The Movies is available to purchase here.

Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by Editor-In-Chief Sarrah Le Marquand.
