We all adore our Vegemite, it was so right.
Rob BoundPANELIST
That's very charming, but I am slightly expecting Dame Edna to come on and do one of those all-in-the-best-possible-taste a la Kenny Everett.
Rob BoundPANELIST
It absolutely should be the national
Andrew MuellerHOST
anthem.
Linus O'BrienGUEST
That's an exciting project.
Linus O'BrienGUEST
If you know Dame Edna, you hear the word mockumentary afterwards, you're like, oh, that's the perfect vehicle for her as a person.
Linus O'BrienGUEST
She was like 20 years before Ali G, right, essentially, and kind of playing that same kind of role, essentially.
Linus O'BrienGUEST
And then what else am I doing? Oh, and then there's a documentary on neurodivergence, and I really like the title.
Amanda KellerHOST
Question three.
Amanda KellerHOST
Dame Edna is a character created by who? Oh, gosh.
Amanda KellerHOST
Pass.

Question four.

And
Amanda KellerHOST
Dame Edna is Barry Humphreys.
speaker_15AUDIENCE
Barry Humphreys, yeah.
Scott ThompsonGUEST
Yeah, and so it's about the struggle for an alter ego.
Scott ThompsonGUEST
My favorite live performer of all time was Barry Humphries, and Dame Edna was a great inspiration.
Scott ThompsonGUEST
So it's about that.
Scott ThompsonGUEST
It's about having an alter ego and what that's like.

Adam FrostGUEST
I was going
speaker_4HOST
to say, it's Dame Edna all over, isn't it? But actually, there's some
Adam FrostGUEST
incredible species, gladioli, you know, that come from South Africa and places like that.
Adam FrostGUEST
They're absolutely stunning and they work in our gardens.
Ginger JohnsonGUEST
So in the 90s when I was young, there was a lot of drag on primetime TV.
Ginger JohnsonGUEST
You know, we had Dame Edna was on a lot and Lily Savage was on obviously.
Ginger JohnsonGUEST
And also Mrs. Merton, who I would consider a drag character because it's, you know, it's a full look and a character and a vibe, you know, and I loved all of that stuff.
Ginger JohnsonGUEST
I always loved that.
TylerHOST
He can't have been here all day.
KatieHOST
Kind of Dame Edna.
KatieHOST
Dame Edna,
TylerHOST
yeah.
TylerHOST
Waitress reminds me of Dame Edna.
TylerHOST
To my point earlier, like if you maybe suspected Steve was the killer, this is the first proof we get that he isn't.
KatieHOST
Maybe he's been busy killing all day and he had to go get a meal at the diner.
SamHOST
He's got this kind of very fluid gender.
SamHOST
He's constantly dressed up as almost like Dame Edna.
SamHOST
but it's so like this fucking mass murderer is dame edna it's so bonkers like nothing that is what i mean like nothing could
JamesHOST
account for what you're watching it's so strange it's so surreal the movie is like a fever dream of his experience of it and reliving it and going through it and the other thing is they were they really were like small time gangsters like they worked at the movie theater and then because of the military takeover they stopped showing american films and so they were kind of like at a loose end so they just started to join in the killing and they were like informed by like gangster movies and
SamHOST
what about the scene where it's the there's the like doll that represents the child oh
Wallis PattisonGUEST
So I called it Matt.
Wallis PattisonGUEST
I started off and it went through a few different phases, but finally it finished up as Matt had a psychic and I love it and it's just a bit of fun and I call myself Dame Wallace and I wore a little tiara one day and said that I was taking over the mantle of Dame Edna.
Wallis PattisonGUEST
But I'm Dame Wallace and people love it and it's been a load of fun.
Wallis PattisonGUEST
But along the way, of course, the serious side of me was exploring and asking questions around AI.
