Welcome to our Podcast series from The Super Network with The Ozploit Cast! This podcast series is all about Ozploitation Cinema! If you don’t know what that is, it is exploitation films from the land Down Under! That’s right, Australia from the 70’s to now have been making exploitation films from all genres with horror, comedy, sc-fi, thriller, erotic and action to name a few. The podcast started with Wake In Fright and each episode covers five films in release order.
Bede Jermyn and Super Marcey are your hosts for The Ozploit Cast and are here for Episode 20! Joining the pair is returning guest Sam Inglis (Fearless Pretender: The Jennifer Jason Leigh Podcast) to discuss the next five films in this ozploitation journey. This episode the films being discussed are from 1987, offering a bit of everything in terms of stories and genres with Dark Age (1987), Pandemonium (1987), Running From the Guns (1987), The Time Guardian (1987) and Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds (1987). How do these five films stack up with the almost 100 that have been covered for this show? Listen in and find out! Enjoy!
Dark Age Synopsis: A park ranger is tasked with dealing with a killer crocodile that appears to have a spiritual connection with the local Aboriginals.
Pandemonium Synopsis: A beautiful nude feral girl raised by dingoes returns to Babylon, Australia to find her family. Her mom is an evil landlady and her nutty tenants want the girl for themselves. One of them realizes the girl was sent to stop the Apocalypse.
Running From the Guns Synopsis: Pete and Dave accidentally pick up a container belonging to a gang of criminals at the dock. Returning the merchandise is easier said than done.
The Time Guardian Synopsis: A time traveling city under attack by cyborg robots in 4039 travels back in time sending two troopers in advance to the Australian desert year 1988 to prepare for its arrival. The enemy tracks them.
Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds Synopsis: Brother and sister endure alone together in a post-apocalyptic Outback until the sudden arrival of a stranger.
DISCLAIMER: Some of the films discussed in the podcast contain some much dated ideas, use terms that are offensive and mostly certainly not used today.
