Show Notes
Nina Oyama — Australian comedian, writer and actor known for Utopia, Deadloch and Taskmaster Australia — joins Angus Truskett for a conversation about musical shame, when to walk out of a movie, and the films we watch when we want to cry.
We get into: Entourage live shows, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, watching films specifically to cry, becoming desensitised to Max Richter, Emerald Fennell making unsexy movies, being horny for Rum Tum Tugger, formative CollegeHumor sketches, Emma Roberts’ wedges, watching The Godfather in Tuscany, The Testament of Nina Oyama, smooth brain viewing, ignoring horror, writing vs acting, Ms. Fieldmouse can get it, The Gayest Showman, musical theatre shame, Deadloch season two, and Luke Hemsworth.
