#4: Alcoholism in the Outback

Published: Oct. 2, 2021, 8:57 a.m.

Our fourth episode is about Ted Kotcheff’s outback fever dream, ‘Wake in Fright’ (1971). Supposedly a film that set back Australian tourism by 25 years, ‘Wake in Fright’ is full of beer, sweat, kangaroos, and men. Lots and LOTS of men. Enjoy!
