I remember the original EFAP (Every Frame a Painting) but Mauler's take (A Pause) is a much more fun dynamic and active conversation piece.

I didn't know Mixtape was produced by Australians, it figures though. Australia of the 90s borrowed lots of its culture, second-hand, from the US and the UK (And usually at least a year out of date). While they were all harping on about cane toads and sporting mullets, saying "Yabbo", "Bogan" and "Drongo" and being taught in a failing educational system which was promoting the Great Australian Silence and punishing the young for the acts of the long departed concerning frontier violence towards Aboriginal peoples.

If ill-informed people who grew up under the reformed Bill Rogers' style educational system try to recall their 90s, they won't be seeing it as others from outside it would. They see a Romper Stomper (1992) perverted version of events with a misunderstanding of the 1976 Land Rights Act and how Australia of then was different from the Ned Kelly Australia of old rather than a John Hughes movie with a feel good ending.

All the cool kids were watching Peter Jackson's Braindead (1992) following on from his Bad Taste (1987). Kiwis were cooler then, just as they are now.

Let them have their Pugwall Youth and Round the Twist puppets; it just shows that they produced things like Rachael "Raygun" Gunn and have no idea what they are talking about. Lessons hopefully they learn from. I'll take Mr G doing a sabbatical in Heartbreak High over Milco replacing Flathead as head of Yabbie Creek Academy any day of the week.
