G’day mates and welcome back to The Tubi Tuesdays Podcast with Episode 73! Joining this episode are your most excellent hosts with Super Marcey, Bede Jermyn and Prof. Batch and you might wanna be worried because it’s Marcey’s pick this week and she finally has fulfilled a promise made quite some time ago! Yes folks, this week it is finally time to unleash The Shrimp On The Barbie (1990), basically a reverse of Crocodile Dundee (1990) with some very weird results mates!

The Shrimp On The Barbie was directed by Alan Smithee, it stars Cheech Marin, Emma Samms, Bruce Spence, Vernon Wells, Carole Davis, Terrance Cooper, Jeanette Cronin and June Bishop.

If you have never listened to a commentary before and want to watch the film along with the podcast, here is how it works. You simply need to grab a copy of the film or load it up on Tubi (you may need alcohol), and sync up the podcast audio with the film. We will tell you when to press and you follow along, it is that easy! Because we have watched the films on Tubi, it is a free service and there are ads, however we will give a warning when it comes up, so you can pause the film and provide time stamps to keep in sync.

Highlights include:

* Welcome to the land of ocker mates!

* Why is there an airline just called Australian?!

* Did you know there’s a kangaroo in every Australian home and if they don’t like ya – they boot you out!

* Vernon Wells manages to play an excellent Himbo.

* Marcey and Bede can’t shut up about Bruce Spence.

* Batch probably relates to Cheech with all the Australiana!

* Did this film break the fourth wall?!

* Wait, are they having sex in a fish tank?!

* Plus much, much more!
