Jon Tilton (the American) and Simon Miraudo (the Australian). Two strangers from opposite sides of the globe, united by the cornerstones of Web 2.0 (Twitter, Facebook and Skype). Putting aside decades of international tension (mostly sparked by that episode of the Simpsons where Bart moons the Aussie Prime Minister), Jon and Simon examine the weird and wonderful world of film from their unique perspectives. Funny, honest, easily distracted, well-informed (kind of). At the very least, they always endeavour to keep the conversation Trending Cinema.

Episode 017 - Vampires
Tuesday, July 6, 2010 at 10:04PM On the seventeenth episode of Trending Cinema, Jon and Simon attempt to talk about vampires, but are quickly put to shame by guests Christy Admiraal and Jennifer Williams. Hitting many different topics from the Twilight Series to True Blood, the four take part in another fun episode of Trending Cinema, and we hope you enjoy listening just as much as we enjoyed recording.
