Hey there, and a warm welcome to the inaugural episode of 'A Dingo Ate My Movie!' - your new go-to podcast for diving deep into the heart of Australian cult cinema. In this kick-off session, I'll unravel the mysteries of the 'Ozploitation' genre, a uniquely Aussie twist on exploitation cinema that's as wild and varied as the outback itself.
