Suitable for your share house or your harbourside pub, it runs from October 2026 to the end of 2027.

You can boldly print it as large as A3 or as a more discreet A6. Enjoy 15 months of this colourful neon soaked spectacular. Richard Saunders spent time going cross eyed designing a fitting tribute to an unforgettable part of Australian cinematic history. That somehow often gets forgotten.

Enjoy! I hope to see many of you at the Starstruck screening and after party on 12 September as part of the 2026 Sydney Underground Film Festival. https://www.suff.com.au/starstruck

Starstruck is a movie to be celebrated every day of the year. “Be what you like, like what you be. It’s no dream.”

I’m beyond excited to reveal we are screening STARSTRUCK in 4K for the Sydney Underground Film Festival this year.

STARSTRUCK from 1982 is one of my favourite Australian films, although it is rarely (if ever) on television and hasn’t been available on DVD for over 20 years.

The Sydney Underground Film Festival is at The Factory in Marrickville. STARSTRUCK will be screened on Saturday, 12 September at 3pm.

I will be awarding lo-fi but unique prizes before the screening for the best outfits, and DJ-ing afterwards in the courtyard bar.

Tickets available now

“Be who you like, like who you be.”

If you came to last year’s Xanadu screening, you know we encourage singing and dancing, so bop along to Starstruck in what will be the most shamelessly colourful cinema celebration in Sydney. Dress up like it’s 1982 or pick a character from the film: Jackie, Angus, Ice Cream Girl or Max Cullen as the dressing gown wearing Reg. Maybe it’s time to break out that tutu you’ve got there.

Tickets are limited, as are the people who really get into this film. There is nothing quite like sharing the enjoyment of a unique film with a cinema full of exuberant like-minded individuals. This will be fun, tutu or no tutu! Probably don’t bring a live cockatoo though, that wouldn’t work out well.

Dr Cara Santa Maria has been with The Skeptics Guide To The Universe podcast for over 11 years now. Along with the rest of the crew, she recently visited Sydney, Australia for NotACon, hosted by SGU and Australian Skeptics. The three day skeptical festival was full of science and science adjacent antics.

During a break in the last night of the show, I was lucky to catch Cara, who is a clinical health psychologist, science communicator, podcaster, and Emmy Award-winning journalist. She has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and completed her postdoctoral fellowship in 2025 in the Patient and Family Support Program at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center. She also holds an M.A. in Clinical Psychology, an M.S. in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience, and a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy. 

So obviously I started by asking her about Devo ..

Our conversation ranged from advertising on podcasts to being a public figure, and we even speculate on how much George Michael will be played by George Hrab at the 80s Singalong grand finale at NotACon.

Also we discover Cara’s height in the newly discovered German metric measurement of the Zentimeter.  Breaking news: she’s 165,000 Zentimeters.
