On this episode, I interview BIRDEATER directors Jack Clark and Jim Weir. The movie, about a bride-to-be invited to her fiance's unhinged bachelor party, has taken Australian audiences by storm since its Sydney Film Festival premiere in 2023. Featuring at Melbourne International Film Festival & SXSW, the movie's garnered audience and critical praise, culminating (as of the time I write this) in a nomination for Best Indie Film at the 2025 AACTA Awards (think Australia's combined Oscars and Emmy shows).

The film starts its limited American theatrical/digital run this week so what better occasion is there to bring Clark and Weir onto the show to chat about their nuanced, chaotic, delirious pressure cooker of a thriller? For such a passive aggressive movie, these guys are really amiable...
