This week we discuss two classic Australian films. The first is The Year My Voice Broke (1987), a coming-of-age tale written and directed by John Duigan. The film features early performances from Noah Taylor and Ben Mendelsohn and was followed by a sequel, Flirting (1991). The second is Wake in Fright (1971), starring Gary Bond and Donald Pleasence. This film tells the story of a young teacher trapped in an outback town who succumbs to a spiral of drink, gambling and general debauchery.   Timestamps What We’ve Been Watching (00:01:17) Donnchadh – Save Me / Save Me Too, Banshee Season 2, The West Wing The Year My Voice Broke (00:06:07) Wake in Fright (00:32:30)    Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links https://www.justwatch.com The Year My Voice Broke 20th anniversary retrospective interviews https://youtu.be/Sw3RgJZqDI8
