Muriel's Wedding: The Dancing Queen of Porpoise Spit
ABBA on blast, confidence on credit, and one ticket to Sydney. Muriel’s Wedding gave us laughter, heartbreak, and the ultimate underdog moment. In this episode, we revisit how Muriel’s wild ride from Porpoise Spit to self-belief became an Aussie cinema milestone.We unpack Muriel’s Wedding as a confetti-covered coming-of-age film that quietly explodes into a study of control, shame, and the messy courage it takes to live honestly. Tony Collette’s breakout as Muriel Heslop isn’t just a showcase of comedy and pathos; it’s a map of how fantasy can be a life raft an...

🌲 #263 KATAKLYSM: канадская брутальность с ноткой Испании | ХВОЯ ПОДКАСТ
🌲 Поддержать проект https://www.donationalerts.com/r/xwojapodcast Возможно, вы не заметили, но настоящий катаклизм потряс планету в 1991 году, когда в подворотнях Монреаля родилась некая группа. Ее основатель басист Маурицио Иаконо (Maurizio Iacono) изрек: "Мы хотели сыграть так, как никто не играл". Сказано - сделано! Был создана новая разновидность дэта, которую они сами обозвали "Nothern Hyperblast". Кроме отца-основателя Маурицио в группу вошли вокалист Сильван Хоуде (Sylvain Houde), гитаристы Жан Франсуа Дэжано (Jean Francois Dagenais) и Стефане Коте (Stephane Cote), барабанщик Ариэль Саде (Ariel Saide). Никто из музыкантов до этого ни в каких группах не играл. Этот состав записал в 1992 году в дешевой Монреальской Peter Pan Studio единственное демо 'The Death Gate Cycle of Reincarnation'. "Мы зарядились сделать нечто неслыханное, что привлечет внимание кучи людей." - вспоминает Маурицио. "Так и появилась идея трилогии из трех песен, которые рассказывают одну историю - про парня, которому было страсть как любопытно, что с ним будет после смерти. Так вот, он накладывает на себя руки и становится духом. На том свете ему встречаются всякие демоны и прочая нечисть, ни одной приличной рожи. Он понимает, какой там отстой и пытается вернутся обратно". Они отыграли несколько шоу в Квебеке на разогреве у Gorguts, Cannibal Corpse и Vital Remains и в группе не стало гитариста Стефане и ударника Ариэля. Как выразился Маурицио: "Они захотели играть медленную, более коммерческую музыку. Тогда мы захотели, чтобы они убирались." Быстрый и некоммерческий Макс Дуамель (Max Duhamel) взгромоздился за барабаны. Без второго гитариста решили обойтись.
