Joel's in the drivers seat this week, toot toot! He brings us into the world of hand painted posters, and movies we didn't know needed to be remade with a twist. As always we chit chat at the start about escape rooms and Angels in America a real random smorgasbord of topics. Then we head to Ghana, where from the late 1970s local artists created hand-painted movie posters to advertise VHS screenings at neighbourhood video clubs. Sometimes the original movie wasn’t quite giving audiences enough action, so the artists took a few creative liberties. Did you know Michael Jackson was in ET? We didn't either.

This week we are back on the couch changing location location location again. This week Joel jumps on the glamazonian express and takes us to Hollywood. Joel tells us the story of Carl Rinsch, and the unfinished Netflix sci-fi that cost them over $11 million with nothing to show for it. To get yourself out of a sticky situation would you try and double your money on doge coin, or go on a shopping spree? Or maybe both? Tune in to see what Carl decided to do.

This week Steph takes the wheel with an unsolved art heist involving a white van, more than 50 stolen artworks and a museum with absolutely no security. (what's new?)We head to Sarasota, Florida in 1969 and the Museum of the Cross, created by artist and illustrator Ben Stoll.The museum was home to 15 huge Stations of the Cross paintings. Then one night, four thieves broke in what happens next? Well you'll have to listen to find out. Was it an inside job? A wealthy collector? A little skittish priest?Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?

This week Steph takes the wheel with a question: what is the most consequential Seth Rogen movie ever made?But before we get into it, we have a Timbaland minute and review RuPaul’s new movie Stop That Train. Then we jump into The Interview, a movie that seemed unassuming but may have been that cause of the 2014 Sony hack. In 2014, a dumb Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy about assassinating Kim Jong Un became the centre of an international incident. North Korea called the film an act of war, Sony Pictures was hit by a massive cyberattack, private emails and employee information were leaked, unreleased movies appeared online and cinemas were threatened if they screened the film.How did The Interview become connected to the Sony hack? Why did Sony make the movie in the first place? And how did a film that really wasn’t good enough for all this become an argument about North Korea, Hollywood and freedom of speech?Of all films. This film.Speak it. Forget it. Write it. Regret it.Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?

How did a grade three drawing become one of Melbourne’s most recognisable pieces of street art? And how do we get from a little bird in Collingwood to a nine-hour police standoff on top of the Bolte BridgeIs it art? Is it vandalism?Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?

Before we get into the story, we discuss Widow’s Bay — spoiler alert — Joel’s trip to the Cartier exhibition at the NGV.Then Joel takes the wheel and throws us into the ballroom world of 1990s New York and the extraordinary life of Paris Is Burning icon Dorian Corey. After Dorian’s death, friends clearing out her Harlem apartment discovered a mummified body hidden inside a trunk. It had been there for more than 20 years.Who was the man in the trunk? What happened between them? And how did one of New York’s most beloved house mothers keep such an enormous secret for so long?It’s queer history, drag and ballroom culture, an unsolved murder mystery and, as always, mummy dust.Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?

This week on Framed, we’re taking a little trip to hell. After a more personal start talking about grief, death and saying goodbye, we head straight into Dante’s Inferno, Botticelli’s illustrations of the Divine Comedy, and the increasingly unhinged circles of hell. A weirdly kismet planned episode, considering. Sit back and relax while we discuss eternal damnation. Weekly whimsy: honestly, not a very whimsical week but Joel does mention Hoppers if you need a cry, and there’s also a side note that Hunt for the Wilderpeople is very good if you want funny, then not funny, then funny again.Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?
