Wake in Fright

We near the end of Horrortober Down Under with a look at one of Australia's great lost films and a terrifying look at the Outback: Wake in Fright. Starring Gary Bond as a schoolteacher attempting to return home from the Outback who gets more than he bargained for. Along the way, he goes "full native" and learns the truth about the less-traveled side of Australia. It's a wild journey through the Australian outback; prepare yourself. On Seagal's Trevor Gumbel and Dark Destination's Father Malone joins Chris to talk about the film, its effect on cinema, and a certain kangaroo hunt.
