Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
It was the biggest Aussi box office hit.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
There was a wonderful that's when we were in our.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Feel good movie Fast Yes True Baslerman. Strictly Borom was
a huge hit. It grossed more at the box office
than Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct and Mel Gibson and
Lethal Weapon through.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
That's because it was just so likable.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
And so many Aussies went and saw it. Now, Strictly
Borroom pretty much cleaned up. But the AFI Awards, however,
star Paul mccurio, who'd done a bit of dancing before
and all that, he lost the Best Actor trophy to
the brilliant Russell Crow as the ever menacing Handle and
Romper Stomper. Yeah, well I just gave us.

Chills, didn't he incredible performance?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
So so amazing. Yeah, I'll it again. Actually, look, our
top TV shows in nineteen ninety two were sixty minutes
a current affair. Isn't it funny? How we get news

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, news from other places these days. Also, Full

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Nineteen shoes was that his job? It was a shoe so.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I think he might have been yeah, oh the Bundies.
In nineteen ninety two, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall broke
up after fifteen years to really two nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
She thought it would have been earlier than that if
you'd asked me what I.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Say, Yeah, fifteen years it was a long time for Mick.
Mick had an infatuation with the twenty three year old
Italian model.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
And infatuation is that what we're calling it?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Me good on your meat. Yeah, funny that. Now if
that model is still with us, she's now thirty three
years on, she's now fifty six, and Mick, at almost
eighty two, is engaged to his thirty seven year old
former ballerina Melanie Hanrick. How many kids? I got one?
One or two?

but there's a big difference, is it. The biggest hits
on the Aussie singles chart in nineteen ninety two included
this one, not playing the whole song, don't that's not music? No,
But I would imagine that's this He's going on it's
