Hate Expectations

Author: Lizzy Palmer and Nathan Beeler

Good books are read For adaptations that blew. Come hear a discussion By the H.E. crew. Lizzy and Nate and the occasional guest dissect novels, novellas, short stories, plays, leaflets, cereal boxes -- anything that was later turned into a movie. They pillory plot differences, castigate casting choices, and revel in all that is right.

HE049 The Dead Heart / Welcome to Woop Woop
Episode 49
Sunday, 28 September, 2025

G'day, mates! For this episode, Hate Expectations brings you a ripper of a yarn from deep in the blowie ridden heart of the Australian outback. We've loaded up our eskies with coldies and tucker, and we've pointed our ute straight on toward Woop Woop. Welcome to Woop Woop, that is, the 1997 movie by Stephan Elliot, as well as The Dead Heart, the 1994 novel by Douglas Kennedy that is the basis of the movie. We have a real bonzer chinwag about this underappreciated flick, one we think is a actually a real beaut (even if it's also kind of festy). But first, a warning: this episode is not for the ankle biters. It is chock-a-block with swearing and references to rooting and all kinds of mean and nasty things. For your average bloke, however, it should be a real bottler. Cheers!
