Show Notes
Keli Holiday (Adam Hyde) — ARIA Award-winning musician, one half of Peking Duk, and the solo artist behind ‘Dancing2’ — joins Angus Truskett for a conversation about performance, myth-making, and the movies that shape identity — from reclaiming jestermaxxing to Nicolas Cage’s “nouveau shamanism.”
We get into: Jester’s privilege and sacred clowns, Nicolas Cage’s nouveau shamanism, Brad Pitt's Killing Them Softly hotness, 2007 cinema supremacy, De Palma bangers, growing up with John Travolta, Two Hands and Sydney memory, Ace Ventura and Jim Carrey’s commitment, movies inspiring songwriting, Adam vs Keli, Jokerman, biopics and myth-making, a Feral TV reboot, Jason Statham’s range, solo moviemaxxing, dapping up Russell Crowe, Jack Thompson x Peking Duk, the genius of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, the Australiana that’s not on the postcard, Tokyo Park Hyatt heartbreak, To Live and Die in LA’s eternal coolness.
Music by Gab Strum.
