When I say \u201cAustralian Cinema\u201d, the first thing you probably think of is either Mad Max or Crocodile Dundee. While it\u2019s true, these two characters no doubt are Australia\u2019s biggest contributions to pop culture, there is one little film from the 1980s that\u2019s often overlooked, yet was at the forefront of a burgeoning movement that was about to blow up and create an entirely new world of extreme sports, not to mention, introduce the world to a certain future film star\u2026\n
\n\nI\u2019m your host, Dave, and joining me as we do some gnarly barspins are fellow cinephiles and sandbaggers Ryan, Mike, and special guest: Jackie.\n
\n\nListen as we discuss the weirdly sexualized alternate VHS covers for BMX Bandits; we wonder if the film\u2019s alternate title of \u201cShort Wave\u201d would have been a more apt description for this walkie-talkie obsessed movie; and finally, we try our hand at some fan fiction as we attempt to build a more fleshed out backstory for the unfortunately named character of \u201cFat Kid\u201d.\n
