Articles by Peter Helliar
Tim Minchin - Bullitt
Tim Minchin is back in the studio with Pete Helliar — and this time, he’s talking about a film he absolutely has not watched: the 1968 Steve McQueen classic Bullitt. Armed with nothing but confidence, guesswork, and a vague awareness of “that famous car chase”, Tim gives his best (and increasingly chaotic) take on a movie he hasn’t seen…until now. Expect wild plot guesses, questionable facts, and plenty of laughs as Pete tries — and mostly fails — to keep the conversation on the road.
Emma Holland's Three Favourite Films
Peter Helliar welcomes comedian and newly minted children’s author Emma Holland (Stories for the Kid Next Door) to chat about the classic rom-com Notting Hill, a film she somehow missed until now! They dive into Emma’s first impressions of the Julia Roberts–Hugh Grant favourite, her top three films (Finding Nemo, About Time, and Boiling Point), and why Finding Nemo still makes her cry.
Troy Kinne's Favourite Films
Comedian, writer, and self-made sketch phenomenon Troy Kinne joins Pete to finally tackle one of the biggest cultural juggernauts of the last 30 years: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Despite building a career on sharp comedy and internet-savvy sketches, Troy has somehow gone decades without watching a single Harry Potter film - though he’s faked his way through theme park rides, photo ops, and conversations along the way.

REPETE: Lachy Hulme and Touch of Evil
They didn't think it could be done, but Pete finally managed to find a film that Lachy Hulme hasn't seen, Touch of Evil. The film, directed by Orson Welles is regarded by many as one of the last great noir films of the classic era. Lachy shares his Francis Ford Coppola stacked list of favourite films, and his admiration of John Travolta's acting.
Lawrence Mooney and The NeverEnding Story

Lehmo and Blazing Saddles
Lehmo returns for the third time to You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, this time he;s here to discuss the 1974 film directed by Mel Brooks, Blazing Saddles.

Kyran Nicholson and Carnal Knowledge
Kyran Nicholson is deeply ingrained in the Aussie entertainment industry, you may have caught one of his comedy gigs, tuned into his podcast Wax Quizzical, or Bang On with Myf Warhurst and Zan Rowe, of which he was a founding producer. Kyran has accomplished many things, but watching the 1971 film Carnal Knowledge is a first.
Bron Lewis and Two Hands
Would Bron Lewis bury a stack of cash at the sand at Bondi Beach? No, but she'd anxiously watch on as Heath Ledger does. The 1999 film that featuring Aussie stars, Rose Byrne and Heath Ledger, follows the life of a 19-year-old Jimmy, who has found himself in debt to local gangster, Pando. Even though the film is an Aussie essential, it's one that Bron Lewis hasn't seen...
Darcy Moore and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Collingwood Premiership Captain, Darcy Moore, has had an outstanding career spanning over 150 games, and includes bringing home the club's 16th flag in 2023. There's very little he can't do, and yet today he is embarking on something for the very first time... watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The star filled Michel Gondry film, sees Joel shocked to discover that Clementine, the love of his life, had him erased from her memory. Is ignorance really bliss?
REPETE: Darren Hayes and Singin' In The Rain
We're taking a trip into the You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet archives to re-visit one of our favourites that you all seemed to like. Australian Music Legend Darren Hayes chats with Pete Helliar about his three favourite films; E.T.; The Empire Strikes Back; and Donnie Darko. For this episode, Darren watched Singin' in The Rain for the first time and let Pete know what he thinks of this classic 1952 film.
REPETE: Sam Pang And The Castle
We're taking a trip into the You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet archives to re-visit one of our favourites that you all seemed to like. Sam Pang has never seen The Castle... until now. Sam joins Pete (remotely in iso) to chat about how and why he has never seen the Aussie comedy classic. They also get onto his genuine love of a Julia Roberts scene, the weirdest sporting promotion ever and why Cannonball Run still stacks up for him.
Zan Rowe and A Fish Called Wanda
Zan Rowe is one of the most well-versed (and well-loved) music brains in Australia. From her legendary stint at the Js to her star-studded Take 5 TV series, Zan lives and breathes music - it's a wonder she has any time at all! That's why she's off the hook for not having watched crime comedy classic, A Fish Called Wanda.

Merrick Watts and Before Sunrise
Apparently, it's not too hard to rope Merrick Watts into watching one of the most loved romance movies of all time - as long as 'hunky' Ethan Hawke is involved. What Merrick might not realise after watching Richard Linklater's 1995 gem, Before Sunrise, is that it's the first of three movies...
Eddie Perfect and American in Paris
There's only one thing that is keeping Eddie Perfect from being perfect, and that is that he has gone his whole life without seeing the 6x Oscar winning film starring Gene Kelly, American in Paris. That was until today... does that now mean he is perfect? Feel free to email us at yasnypodcast@gmail.com OR drop us some comments, feedback or ideas on the speakpipe (link below) Keep it fun and under a minute and you may get on the show.
Dave Lawson and Field of Dreams
"If you build it, he will come", and if you cast Kevin Costner in it, Dave Lawson will watch it... eventually. In the 3x Oscar nominated film, Field of Dreams, Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner), is pestered by a voice he can't ignore, until he eventually gives in and turns his cornfield into a baseball field, which is anything but ordinary. After, hearing a recurring voice begging Dave Lawson to watch the film, he finally has for the very firs ttime.
Shaun Micallef and 8½
Shaun Micallef has spent so much time plastered across your television screens and comedy venues, he simply hasn't had a chance to sit back, relax, and watch a decent movie. In this case, that's the exquisitely surreal Federico Fellini classic, 8½... but now Shaun's finally up to date on the 1963 Italian flick!

Greg Larsen and Jerry Maguire
In 1997 Tom Cruise screamed “SHOW ME THE MONEY” down the phone, and with that line, Jerry Maguire cemented itself into pop culture.

Poh Ling Yeow and Moonstruck
Moonstruck isn't just the beloved Italian-American rom-com that nabbed Cher an Oscar and showcased Nic Cage at his Nic Cage-iest. It's also a deadset classic that artist, actress, writer, and renowned chef Poh Ling Yeow hasn't seen yet... until now!

We're taking a trip into the You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet archives to re-visit one of our favourites that you all seemed to like.

Damian Callinan and Pulp Fiction
Comedian, actor, and filmmaker Damian Callinan has bravely admitted he had never watched Pulp Fiction... until now! Gratuitous violence, redemption, and Royales with cheese, it's gotta be one of Quentin Tarantino's best films. So why has the "Paul Kelly of comedy" not seen it? Feel free to email us at yasnypodcast@gmail.com OR drop us some comments, feedback or ideas on the speakpipe (link below) Keep it fun and under a minute and you may get on the show.
Lehmo and Chinatown
Lehmo is back to watch a 1974 neo-noir mystery, Chinatown. Who would have thought a film set in 1937 about the Los Angeles waterways and incest would eventually be considered one of the greatest films ever? Directed by the infamous Roman Polanski and written by Robert Towne (who won an Oscar for his work), somehow, Lehmo has never seen it...
Aesha Scott and Cape Fear
The founding members of The Flaming Ducks reunite, but rather than nailing a performance for their fellow mates, it's to chat about the 1991 Martin Scorsese thriller, Cape Fear. Max Cady is out of jail, and on his way to a place called Cape Fear, with his defence lawyer in his sights, hell bent on revenge, holding on to the belief that he did not submit a crucial piece of evidence, which led to his incarceration.
Lucinda 'Froomes' Price and Psycho
There is one film that is considered the mother of modern horror films, and has lived in the pop culture psyche unlike any other film... The Bates Motel has truly been terrifying audiences for decades. And although it is an Alfred Hitchcock, Frooms has never seen Psycho... until now!
