The other night I joined Dave Mclennan & Casey Cumming on their podcast Dave’s Video Graveyard. I’ve been a fan ever since I stumbled upon their old show on Adelaide’s WOW FM in the car many years ago.

We talked about childhood video stores, Hungry Jack’s, ice creams, our best drive-in double features and go through my 10 favourite films of all time.

A couple of corrections: I had to double check the map and the Video Mania / Civic Video / Movieland video store I was thinking of was actually on Sturt Road in Warradale (I’m pretty sure it was on the corner of Eucla Avenue – long since knocked down and turned into houses).

Also the 1979 film ‘Being There’ wasn’t actually mentioned in that famous scene in ‘Tropic Thunder’. It was ‘Rainman’ and ‘Forrest Gump’ but you could absolutely put it in that same category.
