This chat I am joined by the Executive Producer of 'Safe Home' on 'SBS' 'Imogen Banks.'

Imogen is a TV content creator who I have dreamt of having on the podcast for many years. I loved her work on 'Puberty Blues,' devoured 'Offspring' with 'Asher Keddie' and have rewatched 'Tangle' countless times. 

However, today I am here to discuss her collaboration with Anna Barnes on the project for 'SBS' called 'Safe Home.' 

'Safe Home' is the Australian drama miniseries set to air on 'SBS' this Thursday at 7:30. It follows the story of a twenty-something professional, who leaves her job at a prominent law firm to work at a struggling family violence legal centre.

The show tackles family violence, power equality and features some of the best performances I have ever seen on television.
I will ask 'Imogen' about the success of 'Offspring,' 'Puberty Blues' and 'Tangle' and why in Australia we rarely see multiple series runs of our home grown content. 
We will find out how this show came about and how they managed to tackle the domestic violence subject matter. 
We will also discuss if having a bankable star is necessary when getting shows funned in Australia and why this cast were able to knock this out of the park.

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of 'Safe Home’ which I can tell you is my favourite season of television this year.

TOY STORY 5 - Film Review with Special Guest Brose Avard

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/2b24168d-51f0-4a6f-b37e-b46e007eb982/transcript

This week, Ben and Brose are visiting one of the most anticipated films of the year, Disclosure Day. The latest science fiction epic from the legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Join them as they dive into the world of aliens, government conspiracies and human drama. With a wack of action and suspense.

In this episode, they discuss the film's themes of hope and humanity and how Spielberg's approach to the subject matter resonates with audiences. They also explore the film's visuals, music and performances. Including the standout roles of Emily Blunt and Colmon Domingo. Our hosts share their thoughts on the film's pacing, runtime and whether it lives up to the hype. With a runtime of two hours and 25 minutes, this film is a must-see for sci-fi fans and anyone looking for a thrilling adventure.

One of the standout aspects of the film is its ability to balance action and drama. Creating a narrative that's both entertaining and thought-provoking. The film's visuals are stunning, with a blend of practical and CGI effects that bring the alien world to life. The music, composed by the iconic John Williams, is impressive, while maybe not as iconic as Jaws and some of the many other collaborations with Spielberg. 

Listen to the full episode to hear their in-depth discussion and decide for yourself whether this film is a hit or a miss.
