Film Versus Film

New Episode Every Monday

Does the Oscar winner Greenbook do a better job of dealing with race then the Richard Pryor film The Toy? What do Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite and 70’s horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre tell us about family? Is there any difference between Revenge Of The Nerds and Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart?

We’ll be exploring these questions and many more. We’ll also shout out to some of the Western Sydney institutes that made us love film. The video stores, drive-ins, and our public High School in the nineties!

Join Associate Professor of Film Studies at The University of Sydney, Bruce Isaacs, his identical twin brother and cinephile Herschel Isaacs, and comical filmmaker Craig Anderson, three nerds who grew up together loving movies.

Recorded on Gadigal country by three boys who grew up on Dharug land.

Presented in association with the University Of Sydney.
