This week on the podcast, we're switching gears to explore a family-friendly adventure with "Frog Dreaming" from 1986, directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith. It's a pleasure to have Brandon Hardy from Varicon Video and The Gory Picture Show back with us as we dive into this lesser-known gem of Australian cinema.
"Frog Dreaming," also known as "The Quest" in some markets, showcases Trenchard-Smith's versatility as a director, moving from his renowned work in the Ozploitation genre to creating a captivating tale aimed at a younger audience. The film stars Henry Thomas, famous for his role in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," as a young boy obsessed with solving the mystery of a local legend in the Australian outback.
Brandon and I will discuss the making of "Frog Dreaming," its themes of curiosity and adventure, and how it stands out in Trenchard-Smith's filmography. We'll also look at its reception and legacy and why this enchanting story of discovery and friendship is worth revisiting.
Whether you grew up with this film or are just hearing about it for the first time, this episode offers an engaging look at one of the 1980s' most heartfelt and imaginative Australian films.
