Two mates. Two accents. Zero filter.
You couldn’t find two more different people — from opposite sides of the world, with completely different takes on what’s entertaining, what’s serious, and what’s downright ridiculous.
Rohan (the Aussie) loves his rom-coms. Rob (the Scotsman) swears by his action flicks. Together they deep-dive into one film each week — unpacking the themes, cast, controversies, and behind-the-scenes chaos — all with plenty of laughs and the occasional argument.
Sometimes they agree. Often they don’t. But that’s half the fun.
New episodes drop every Saturday. Also on YouTube
It’s movies, mateship, and mayhem — Aussie and the Scotsman style.

It’s movies, mateship, and mayhem — Aussie and the Scotsman style.
This week we review the 2008 American drama film Gran Torino directed, produced by and starring Clint Eastwood.
It features a significant Hmong American cast, a first for mainstream American films.
The score was composed by Kyle Eastwood and Michael Stevens, with Jamie Cullum and Clint Eastwood providing the lead track.
Set in Highland Park, Michigan, the story follows Walt Kowalski, a recently widowed Korean War veteran alienated from his family.
When Kowalski's neighbor Thao Vang Lor is pressured by his cousin into stealing Walt's prized Ford Torino for his initiation into a gang, Walt thwarts the theft and develops a relationship with the boy and his family.
It starts off in typical grumpy fashion with the Scotsman offloading some more of his 'issues'. Again the Aussie is under fire.
"This is the type of movie and the reason why we do the podcast" says the Aussie. The Scotsman can't believe it - this is NOT the reason we do this podcast. The Scotsman has his own thoughts on this one. Tune in to hear.
We discuss the differences between the location of this movie to our own location and how lucky we are - and - how sheltered we are!
The Scotsman tells us some stories from growing up in Glasgow and his time living in Cairns, QLD.
We try to get the Aussie to use his imagination again - with NO luck.
This podcast goes a bit off the rails as we start to imitate grumpy Clint movie lines - which takes to a point where we start quoting Chuck Norris memes.
