Aussie and The Scotsman
15 + years of friendship has culminated in the birth of Aussie and the Scotsman.
You couldn’t find two more different people, from opposite sides of the world, with differing views on what is entertaining, what is serious, what is heartfelt, and what is funny.
Rohan (Melbourne, Australia) loves his romantic comedies. Rob (Glasgow, Scotland) loves his action movies.
Each week we deep dive into the chosen movie discussing themes, cast, awards, and some relevant trivia.
We don’t hold back in our opinions – sometimes we agree and often we don’t.
The Aussie and the Scotsman talk movies from two different lenses, and as opposites attract you might find yourself rooting for one and questioning the other.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we love doing it.

This week we discuss the 2008 British drama film Slumdog Millionaire directed by Danny Boyle and starring Dev Patel in his film debut as Jamal.
It narrates the story of 18-year-old Jamal Malik from the Juhu slums of Mumbai.
As a contestant on an Indian-Hindi version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Jamal surprises everyone by answering every question correctly so far, and he is one question away from winning the grand prize when he is accused of cheating.
He recounts his life story to the police, illustrating how he was able to answer each question.
The Aussie and the Scotsman get down and dirty in this one. They love it - which is rare for both.
Relating back to his own Indian adventures the Scotsman tells us how real to slumlife this movie actually is.
Sit back and enjoy the review of this incredible story and please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts from.
