    Mar 4 2026
    Geraldine Viswanathan has shared the screen with the likes of John Cena, Margaret Qualley, Florence Pugh and Pedro Pascal, and is fast becoming one of Australia’s most prolific comedy actors. She’s also hilarious and has fantastic taste in films, from Anna Faris’ stoner comedy Smiley Face to the movie that made her turn towards film, Little Miss Sunshine. She joined Alexei late last year ahead of starting production on Amy Poehler’s new comedy series Dig.

  • Athina Rachel Tsangari, legendary filmmaker and a true hero of Greek cinema

    Athina Rachel Tsangari, legendary filmmaker and a true hero of Greek cinema
    Feb 25 2026
    Best known for her provocative comedy ATTENBERG and the unnervingly satirical CHEVALIER, Athina Rachel Tsangari helped define what critics dubbed the “Greek Weird Wave,” alongside longtime collaborator Yorgos Lanthimos. A longtime filmmaking hero of host Alexei, he hailed her latest film, HARVEST, as one of the very best of 2025. HARVEST is a medieval tale of modernity swallowing up tradition, it stars Caleb Landry Jones and is shot by the now legendary Sean Price Williams. There’s no greater honor to have Athina Rachel Tsangari join us in The Last Video Store while she was serving on the Melbourne International Film Festival’s jury.

  • Baz Luhrmann is EPiC! (Yes, this week’s guest is Baz Luhrmann!)

    Baz Luhrmann is EPiC! (Yes, this week’s guest is Baz Luhrmann!)
    Feb 11 2026
    What an immense privilege to chat with true visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann about his new film EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT. Baz's maximalist imagination meets its perfect subject and energizes the mythology of Presley. It’s like a cinematic mosaic that evokes legend. Epic is a truly mesmerizing concert film and an inspired step into factual filmmaking and documentary storytelling - it’s safe to say Alexei, the ever the Elvis tragic, absolutely frothed it.
