The Quiet Earth

But yeah, it was really kind of cool.

And some of the extra folks too were local folks from my, time in theater but yeah it was that was really cool yeah it is always fun to see local stuff absolutely 100 it's fun to geek out about your yeah city yeah it's cool so it's my uh my pick for the next episode and we are doing the letter q um and we are going to do a 1985 new zealand post-apocalyptic film called the quiet earth So I don't know if either of you are familiar with this movie at all, but it was a pretty influential film when it comes to the post-apocalyptic genre.

And I'm very curious to either of you.

Do you know this movie? Have you heard of this movie?

So it's like, all right, what, what's been going on? But it plays out in such a different way.

You know? It's like it, it feels a little like the quiet Earth f- uh, at s- the start, and then it kinda goes off in its own direction, and I just really appreciated that.

A great Polaroid there.

Jester Song is a deep cut.

You've basically paid for it already.

The Quiet Earth is a Kiwi classic.

It is Geoff Murphy's best film, I think.

Bruno Lawrence, a remarkable performance from him as a kind of the last man left alive after some apocalyptic event happened.

it?

Yeah, but fascinating all the same.

And of course, there's a sequence in The Quiet Earth where they hole up in a kind of modern 80s mansion, white concrete thing overlooking the Hauraki Gulf.

And it looks like it could be the house from Gloss, you know, that's just coming up over the horizon.

No.
