The "'I'm keen to see the new Tarantino,'...'I'm not.'" edition. With Eloise off in sunny Italy, Cultural Capital go to the gods of podcasting (presumably Sarah Koenig and Ira Glass), ask for the perfect special guest and are granted the amazing Claire White, she of Rough Cut Film and Teen Screen Cinematheque.

The "I just want to give a shout out to..." edition. After discovering that we could literally just keep giving away double passes to the new Nicole Kidman film, 'Destroyer', on Twitter we turn our attention to that very film. What is it even about? Why does she look so weathered? Should she have been Oscar nominated? Who cares? The Melbourne Queer Film Festival is happening and that's got everyone's attention.

The "I find myself embracing Hollywood manipulation so readily these days" edition. Before we dive into the murky riches of 2019's summer slate, the Cultural Capital team, with some help from the MIFF Critics Campus, count down their favourite films of 2018. While in other parts of the world, this is a pretty straightforward affair, due to the vagaries of international releasing strategies, Australian cinephiles blend 2017 awards contenders - released here in January and February, 2018 - with those crammed into the last days of the year. And, much like an extremely well-made summer trifle, it's a delicious mess of vicious contrasts and complimentary additions. 00:45 Bodied 05:24 BPM 09:41 Black Mirror: Bandersnatch 13:14 Burning 17:35 Claire White on Columbus and Skate Kitchen 19:44 Zama 22:33 James Waters on Zama 24:04 Black Panther 26:45 BPM 29:52 Private Life 34:40 The Favourite 38:12 Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse 42:02 Cold War 48:44 Roma 54:47 Eliza Jansson on The Rider 56:48 Ivana Brehas on Burning and Let the Corpses Tan 58:08 Cultural Capital Film Diary 1:02:20 Anders' number 1 1:08:00 Eloise's number 1 1:13:08 Andy's number 1 1:15:27 Films that nearly made our lists Find us: Twitter: TheCultCapPod Facebook: Cultural Capital Podcast Instagram: CulturalCapitalPodcast

The “whoaaahoooahwhaaaoahwhoaaaaaaaaaohh” edition. Any monthly podcast can give you opinions about the biggest film on the planet at the moment, but only Cultural Capital brings the context, and the history and resists the urge to do a Bradley Cooper impersonation.

Breathless but full of complementary hors d'oeuvres and some house red, Anders, Andy and special guest Jo DiMattia rushed from the MIFF program launch at Melbourne's opulent Forum Theatre to pool their thoughts. Is the slate of Australian films the strongest MIFF has ever had? Did the programmers get the best they could from Cannes? We have a new venue, will it be more comfortable than the Comedy Theatre?
