I mean, I didn't mean to suggest they were ALL tax write-offs, but also, some tax write-offs are better than others. 😂

Ready to dip your toe into more Ozploitation over the spooky season? @drsmorgan.com has put together a Letterboxd list for you of all the films he mentioned in his intros! boxd.it/PKVG6

There can be only one… Russell Mulcahy! What better way to end The Big Scream: Six Feet Down Under with the legendary genre director introducing his directorial debut Razorback!

Did Australia’s “Jaws on Trotters” make our audience too afraid to ever go near a petting zoo ever again? Find out in their Letterboxd reviews. www.instagram.com/p/DQRhGKZAjr...

Did Henry Silva really hold on to the under-side of a helicopter for that bonkers finale in Thirst?! Kinda. Enjoy this clip from Ozploitation doc 'Not Quite Hollywood'.

Did our audience salivate for Thirst… or did they think it sucked? www.instagram.com/p/DQRayIEAhs...

Fair Game or Total Rubbish? www.instagram.com/p/DQP2561Ap0...
