IndieWeb Movie Club: Apr 2025

This month on IndieWeb Movie Club! I invite you to watch the 1997 Australian comedy classic The Castle and post about it on your site.

It's about the value of family, home, and standing up for what you believe in: told with quintessential Australian humor.

The film is rated PG with a runtime of just 85 minutes.

Note: As Brandon Pugh pointed out, there are two versions: the Australian, and the Americanized one (some songs and references were changed.) If you can, watch the former!

IndieWeb Movie Club is a monthly movie themed blog carnival! Each month, a different host selects a film for the community to watch and write about on their personal site.

Want to hosting an IndieWeb Movie Club's future edition? Add yourself to the list on the IndieWeb wiki. Anyone with a personal site can host!

Submitting Your Watch

Happy watching, and remember, "It's not a house, it's a home. It's a bloody castle!"

A colorful, stylized digital illustration by Zachary Kai featuring a stack of five books in shades of blue, teal, green, and purple, each with bold black geometric or abstract spine designs. A leafy green plant is tucked behind the top book, its fronds spreading upward. On either side of the stack is a purple heart.

Acknowledgement Of Country

I acknowledge the folks whose lands I owe my existence to: the Koori people. The traditional owners, storytellers, and first peoples. This land's been tended and lived alongside for millennia with knowledge passed down through generations. What a legacy. May it prevail.
