Episode Description

Oz and Curtis are packing our bush hats, sharpening our massive bowie knives, and trying to navigate the subway without getting pickpocketed to break down the global comedy hit: Crocodile Dundee!When American journalist Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) travels to the Australian Outback to report on a bushman who survived a brutal crocodile attack, she meets the larger-than-life Michael J. "Mick" Dundee (Paul Hogan). After surviving the rugged wilderness together, Sue invites Mick back to her home turf: the concrete jungle of New York City. Armed with nothing but his charm, Outback survival skills, and complete disregard for big-city rules, Mick turns Manhattan upside down.We break down the film’s massive charm offensive: Paul Hogan’s star-making, Golden Globe-winning performance, the iconic "That’s not a knife... THIS is a knife" scene, the undeniable chemistry between Hogan and Kozlowski, and how a low-budget Aussie indie turned into one of the highest-grossing comedies of the 1980s. Is Crocodile Dundee the ultimate 80s Fish-Out-of-Water Comedy and an essential Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves a good bowie knife solves almost any problem?
