Explaining changes to OK Dendy! Let's Be K.O.! For the Swap AU

This might seem silly, after all, K.O. is barely in this episode, and Carol isn't in it period! Why do you need to change anything?

Well uh because there's no grandma for him to visit. So we need another reason to get this kid outta the plaza! And, like I've sorta brought up before, after T.K.O., we'd need an explained time when he teaches his dad to copy his power fists, and in general, have a chance for them to help hone each other's abilities. Lucky for me, this episode takes place at the perfect time to do exactly that.

Transcript changes:

K.O.: [Walks towards Dendy] Hey, Dendy!

Dendy: Hey, K.O.!

K.O: How's your day going?

Dendy: *adjusts her glasses* I would say today is working out to be quite swell!

[The words "Work-out" echo inside K.O.'s mind and a shot of a "punch out clock" appears inside his head, the punching bag gaining a face as it swings]

Punchy: It's work out day! It's work out day! It's work out day!

K.O.: [Puts both his hands up his face] OOPS! [Face-palms himself] I TOTALLY FORGOT! I'm supposed work out with my daddy today!

Dendy: Oh! I thought you liked training with your father.

K.O: I do!... But I have a job to do! [Waves arms in the air] I can't just abandon my co-workers in their hour of need! [Points at Enid and Rad]

[Enid snores as she sleeps on the counter and Rad is lying on the floor while using his levitation beam to read a magazine]

K.O. I don't wanna be the world's worst co-worker! [Puts his arm down, lowers his voice and looks at the floor] So I guess I'll have to be the world's worst coach...

[Episode continues as normal until the end]

Rad: Dendy! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!

Enid: Yeah! You should fill-in for K.O. everyday!!!

Dendy: [Sighs] No, thank you! I thought I knew everything about K.O., but it seems the one thing I do not understand is how he does this everyday. This job is very tiring... Besides, I think it's best to leave being K.O., to the real K.O.

[A car horn beeps and Laser's car pulls over, and K.O. gets out of it while wearing a red and peacock cyan jumpsuit, along with his own matching fingerless gloves. His Father waves goodbye and drives off again]

K.O. Hi, guys! I'm back! What'd I miss?

That's all for this one, but it took me quite a long time to figure out how to fit this episode into the au in a fitting way, so I hope you guys like it. Expect a longer, more in-depth change explanation for another episode in the future.

Redeemed! Laserblast AU

Most of my plans for this AU are attached to when I come back to writing "Gray Goo" but I'm sharing some stuff anyway since I'm debating using it as the setting for a Laserbox one-off. I'm also fine with anyone else playing with/adding their own versions of AU characters, OCs, or whatever else if you want to.

The core premise for this AU is Laserblast had a redemption arc. The how/why that event happened are baked into things I have planned for "Gray Goo," so I'll update that part when that full fic is finished (or after the chapter with that bit goes up).

Highlight Reel:

Laser and Carol retired from POINT after K.O. was born. They also found and adopted Fink not long after. So they're the proud, active parents of two aspiring heroes. They're not married, but they are in a long-term, monogamous relationship.

Carol still transitioned from POINT operative to owning and running the fitness dojo at the Plaza. She doesn't secretly work for Foxtail or have any other affiliation with POINT. It's the Dojo only. Besides the Dojo, Carol and Kaio teach a wellness, mental health, and meditation seminar once a week.

Laser is co-owner and operator of the Dojo. He trains the kid's division of martial arts and hero basics while Carol trains older adults or gives hero refresher courses. Laser is still affiliated with POINT, but he's a reserve or back-up hero. He also teaches a few Charisma related courses at POINT and shares a workload with the dept director Professor Sunshine.

K.O. prefers going by his given name "Kaio," both as a civilian and a hero in training. He wants to follow in Laserblast's footsteps, but he's more interested in becoming a respected professor and teaching at POINT Prep than becoming a great hero. He's impatiently waiting for the opportunity to try on and use Laser's helmet.

He and Fink are very close and Fink is Kaio's best friend after Dendy. She's in training to become Rippy Roo's official sidekick as well as her research partner. Fink is really intrigued by Rippy's research on particle physics, blackholes, and alternate universes.

Kaio and Dendy grew up together, are lifelong friends, and Kaio considers Dendy his closest confidant. There's things Dendy knows that Kaio refuses to tell his parents or anyone else.

Dendy is still a very tech and science oriented person, but she considers both her big hobbies rather than her ultimate life goal. She hopes to become a respected stand-up comedian like Crinkly Wrinkly. Though, no matter how hard she tries, it's a very "keep your day job, kid" effort. Dendy also has a little crush on Fink.

Mr. Gar voluntarily left and retired from POINT. He's still a very prominent and active luchador on the weekends. Otherwise, the Bodega is more of a goal he and his husband Bernie talked about starting for the longest time. Mr. Gar received the "protect the glorb tree" mission but it was secondary and circumstantial. He became an aspirational, manly man more from a desire to grow and better himself alongside his partner than a life-changing journey.

Boxman met Laserblast during one of his early villain ventures. At the time, Laser was single, they hit it off, and Boxman reformed in large part because of Laser. He starts going by the name Bernie, develops a pet interest in gardening, and hopes to open his own retail/convenience store someday. Bernie originally hoped to open this store with his robot creation/business partner Mr. Logic but they had a rough falling out after Bernie and Laser started dating. Mr. Logic wants to be a villain and didn't follow Bernie to the heroes' side.

Certain events play out and Bernie breaks up with Laser over it. While Laser and Bernie were dating, Bernie met Silver and El Bow. Laser was never close with El Bow, but Bernie became fast friends with him and they started growing really close after the Laser break-up. Fast forward to present day and they're happily married with Bernie taking Mr. Gar's last name.

Laser and Silver started as far more casual, friends with benefits. That dynamic was put on hold when Laser started dating Bernie. After their break-up, Silver told Laser she was pregnant and confided that she really wanted her kid to have his dad in his life. They didn't originally plan on getting together but ended up seriously dating with time, mutual interests, and finding that they're a surprisingly good match (in this timeline, not others).

When Kaio starts working at the Bodega, Queenie and Puck are the respective front end cashier and stock boy.

Rad works for Carol part time watching and babysitting kids, running errands, and manning the front desk. He's also been dating Enid since they were 14. He was encouraged to be himself on that pivotal first date by Carol and that's what led to her as Rad's major role model and go-to mentor.

Enid struggles with her desire to be a ninja, but Rad and Carol have been trying to push her to tell her parents what she really wants to do with her life. She only visits the Plaza to hang out with Rad, Puck, or Queenie. Otherwise, she's off doing her own thing elsewhere.

Note: There will be more, so check back here periodically if you dig my ridiculous ideas for this, hahah!

Cinema Australia: Interview with Nick and Nathan Lacey

Nick and Nathan Lacey’s excellent short film, Die Bully Die, has won the $7,000 Dendy Live Action Short Award at the 71st Sydney Film Festival.

Die Bully Die follows Max (Matthew Backer), who encounters his high-school bully, Adam (Drew Weston), 17 years later in a fancy restaurant, where Max’s grudge against Adam manifests in horrific ways. This LGBTQ+ comedy horror film explores the lasting effects of queerphobic bullying and the broader theme of overcoming trauma.

The film draws from screenwriter, producer, and actor Matthew Backer’s personal experiences of being bullied for being gay at his all-boys Catholic high school in Brisbane. The story gains depth from Matt’s real-life encounter with one of his bullies, now an openly gay man, which inspired the film. Matt collaborated with his best friend, Drew Weston, to write Die Bully Die, capturing the raw emotion and lasting impact of their experiences.

The film is directed by Nick and Nathan Lacey, who previously collaborated with Matt on the award-winning short film Ghosted, which you can read more about here. Produced by the Lacey Brothers, Matthew Backer, Drew Weston, and Nicole Thorn, Die Bully Die continues the team’s tradition of creating impactful films.

Nick Lacey has produced and directed for major Australian television networks and production companies, while Nathan Lacey has extensive experience in post-production for major studios. Their short films have been selected for numerous film festivals, with Ghosted receiving multiple awards and nominations.

Die Bully Die not only highlights the personal struggles of its creators but also resonates universally with audiences facing similar challenges.

Cinema Australia caught up with Nick and Nathan following their award win at the Sydney Film Festival.

Matthew Backer in Die Bully Die.

“Anyone who has been bullied before knows how nightmarish that experience can be and we wanted to depict that in a very visceral way.”

Interview by Matthew Eeles

What drew you to Matthew Backer and Drew Weston’s Die Bully Die script?

Nathan: The script appealed to us for a number of reasons. We thought it was a really interesting way to explore the effects of childhood trauma and the impact that has on you as an adult. We thought this was a very relatable theme and knowing it was based on Matt’s own experiences growing up made it even more important to us. We also really appreciated that although the film depicts a very serious subject, the script didn’t take itself too seriously. We thought the blend of horror and comedic elements throughout gave the script an original tone and we were really drawn to that as directors.

Nick: It was very exciting to read the script through the first time. I remember thinking there were so many areas where we as directors could expand creatively on and develop a strong visual and artistic through line to encompass the film, and even now a year on I still get excited thinking about the script. We felt the thematic elements and melding of genres really played to our strengths as filmmakers and was a great opportunity to put together a really exciting and thought-provoking piece.

Not only do Matthew Becker and Drew Weston star in the film, they also co-wrote and co-produced as well. As directors, what is it like to work with two other people who have so much creative investment in a film?

Nathan: We were fortunate to work with Matt on our previous film Ghosted, so there was already a good foundation there going into this film. Matt and Drew approached us with this script because they trusted our vision and we really appreciated that. We encouraged both of them to come on as producers early on and working with them from an early stage was very helpful as it meant we could spend a lot of time workshopping the script with them in pre-production which really paid off when we got on set.

Nick: We were delighted when Matt and Drew agreed to come on board to produce. We felt especially with the story being so personal to Matt, it was imperative to have them stay on in a producing aspect also. For first-time producers, they took to the challenge and were great at fitting into our working process alongside our other producer Nicole Thorn. Myself and Nathan believe the best way of getting great onscreen content is having a great atmosphere on set, and Matt and Drew really embodied this which made the on set experience very enjoyable.

Matthew Backer and Drew Weston on the set of Die Bully Die.

While Die Bully Die is not a direct horror film, you seem to enjoy injecting horror into real life situations. Why is that so important to you?

Nick: Horror as a genre is such a captivating and encompassing medium to work with as filmmakers. It is hardwired into us as creatures to be cautious, aware and prioritise self-preservation – thematically and tonally, horror is so relatable. Our minds are the best creatives when it comes to our fears and terrors – be it a bump in the night, or something seemingly normal that terrifies us on an individual level, to us it’s about how to engage that primal voice in your head that spells out WARNING. How fantastic is it to get to play with that notion, bend reality a little and dip into the dark recesses of the mind when dreaming up scenarios or scenes – What if this happened? What if that stranger is some kind of deranged psycho? How can we bring an audience on a journey here, inject a little of those emotions of terror into a seemingly normal environment or situation – the more normal or mundane, the more contrast for a horrific event or situation to move an audience.

Nathan: We both love horror, so integrating it into our work seems to come pretty naturally. For this film specifically, we saw opportunities to lean into this, particularly when we see young Max bullied in the school bathroom. We wanted this scene to feel like a nightmare so the audience would understand the sheer terror that Max experienced at school. Anyone who has been bullied before knows how nightmarish that experience can be and we wanted to depict that in a very visceral way.

I love the use of mirrors to reflect the past in Die Bully Die. Can you talk us through that creative choice, and the challenges of filming with so many reflections?

Nathan: The mirrors were definitely challenging! The restaurant and bathroom locations we used in the film were both lined with mirrors. We never originally planned to integrate mirrors so prominently in the film but once we saw these two locations we knew we could utilise them to great effect. It was something we spent a lot of time discussing and we felt helped to visually reinforce the power Max’s past has over him throughout the film. Our DP, Patrick Coe, and gaffer, Josh Lafou, did a great job to ensure switching setups was seamless and all lighting and camera gear was hidden from any reflections in shot.

Nick: I think that’s one big takeaway from making short films in the past, with independent films you are more often than not at the mercy of the factors and environments you’re working in, and often, with limited resources you need to decide which challenges to focus on and what to accept and move on with. I feel sometimes constraints can be massively helpful in forcing you to think creatively and differently in your approach to filmmaking – turning constraints into advantages. Rather than try and shy away from reflections, we embraced them and made them a focal point. It was a fun challenge to work out how to shoot everything in the way we desired in a very reflective location – myself and Nathan spent two weeks just discussing where best to seat our two leads. We decided to embrace the mirrors as a focal point to suit the story that focuses so much on the past and looking back on past events – with everything revolving around the decision from there we shotlisted the entire film in an afternoon.

Die Bully Die.

The visual effects in Die Bully Die are seriously impressive, and the film is all the better for it. It would be an injustice to talk about Die Bully Die without mentioning its visual effects artists Kyan Woodpower and Scott Brice who have worked on films like Monkey Man, Alien Covenant and Three Thousand Years of Longing respectively. What do these two bring to a project like this?

Nathan: We’re very fortunate to have worked with a team of amazingly talented individuals on this film and Kyan and Scott were a big part of that. Complex visual effects require a lot of careful planning to pull off successfully so we relied on their input early on in order to ensure the visual effects looked as realistic as possible. Their input was invaluable in how we approached filming certain shots. There were quite a few visual effects shots in this film, many of which you wouldn’t even realise.

Nick: We’ve worked with Kyan on every film we’ve made so far and he is probably the most likeable and easy-going person you’ll ever meet, alongside being extremely talented. A cohesive team coming together with a shared mindset requires so many intangible and unspoken factors happen to be successful, and aside from just being brilliant – he makes that creative and collaborative process so much easier by just being a joy to be around. Scott’s work is incredible, and he came with such a depth of experience and creativity. We live in a strange world with this film where you get excited over things like gore and blood being convincing and shocking, and the flair he brought to the film with little touches really adds to making the world feel real.

You both obviously share an incredibly creative synergy. What do you enjoy the most about working with each other?

Nathan: Being brothers, we already have such a shorthand with one another so that helps a lot when we’re working on a film, as there is usually a lot going on. We’re very aligned from a creative standpoint but we do try and challenge each other creatively and I think through that process we bring the best out in each other. Ultimately having that level of trust with a creative partner ensures we are united and focused on our goal of making the best film we can.

Nick: Our relationship has sustained every high and low you can imagine through just knowing each other for our entire lives, but being siblings is an unbreakable bond which helps when it comes to the practicalities of creating films. We share the high points and embrace the difficulties of filmmaking, which is important in the creative process. We’re not afraid of offending or trampling one another if we think an idea or angle may not work, and when a great idea is poised usually the other builds on that and we are able to elevate the idea into a fluid construct of a film. With each project we do together there is a greater understanding and synergy, which almost becomes like two bodies one brain at times – which is a really wonderful feeling, when you’re in your groove creatively and firing on all cylinders and your creative partner is in the exact same headspace. Nathan will often say something in creative meetings and the first words out of my mouth will be, “I was just about to say that” or vice versa.

Drew Weston in Die Bully Die.

I loved your previous film, Ghosted. How much have you both grown as filmmakers since that film?

Nathan: Thanks! Hopefully we’ve grown a lot as filmmakers. Every film we make is an opportunity for us to challenge ourselves both creatively and technically and Die Bully Die was no different. We worked with a bigger budget and crew on this film than Ghosted and had scenes involving a lot of sfx and vfx work as well, so there were many fun challenges for us to solve. Making films is definitely the best way to continue growing as a filmmaker and we certainly feel like we’ve grown even more since shooting this film.

Nick: I think with every film and every opportunity to hone our particular style and tastes, it’s just made us more confident with our decisions and direction. In each of our shorts we’ve taken calculated and well-thought out creative risks in our approach to aesthetic, character and story which I feel has been imperative in developing our skillsets as filmmakers and also readying us for long form films. Die Bully Die is another step forward for us in our storytelling careers and has built on what we’ve learnt so far and is a showcase of what we will continue to do in the future.

What does the future look like for The Lacey Brothers? Is there a feature film on the horizon? 

Nick: We’re currently developing our first feature film, a psychological horror. It’s our current focus and next project for us in our careers.

Queer your screens this Mardi Gras

Queer your screens this Mardi Gras

A film festival has been a staple in the life of LGBTQIA+ Sydney since the very first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and this year is no exception.

Sydney’s LGBTQIA+ film festival began in 1978 as the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and was run by the Australian Film Institute, growing into the Sydney Gay Film Week by 1986.

Queer Screen took over the event in 1993 and has been running it for the community ever since as the Mardi Gras Film Festival.

This year the festival will span 25 days, with both in person and online screenings throughout Mardi Gras and into March.


From February 15 to 29, Sydney will witness a diverse program of 161 films and events across 77 distinct programs.

For those who prefer to join the conversation from home, Queer Screen will offer a curated on-demand program available as an encore from March 1 to 11.

The festival will kick off with British neo-thriller FEMME, starring Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George MacKay, which follows a drag queen who is given the opportunity to take revenge following a homophobic attack.

Down Low, starring Zachary Quinto and written and starring Lukas Gage, is a hilarious black comedy about a sex worker and his client and the antics that ensue when they have to hide a dead body.

To close the festival Housekeeping for Beginners by Macedonian Australian filmmaker Goran Stolevski will have its Sydney premier, and explores the importance of chosen family.

The film won the Queer Lion at last year’s Venice Film Festival and tells the story of a woman who finds herself compelled to raise her girlfriend’s two daughters.

As their individual wills clash, a heartwarming story unfolds about an unlikely family’s struggle to stay together.

Throughout the festival, viewers will enjoy Australian and international premieres, Aussie-centred showcases and 4K restorations of original films from the 1980s and 1990s.

As always, the Mardi Gras Film Festival will be showcasing as many queer stories as possible, ranging from drag performers, stories from gender queer and non-binary filmmakers, and events from queer history.

This year Queer Screen will hold its first ever event at the Sydney Opera House with Music from Queer Film being performed by the Sydney Cello Quartet in the Playhouse Theatre with music from iconic queer films such as Priscilla: Queen of the Desert and Moonlight.

The festival will also feature a special sing-along screening of The Sound of Music, presented with The Sisters and Brothers of The Order of Perpetual Indulgence Sydney and the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir.

This year’s festival will span nine venues across Sydney including Event Cinemas (George Street and Hurstville), The Ritz Cinema (Randwick), Dendy Cinemas (Newtown), the Hayden Orpheum (Cremorne), the Westpac OpenAir Cinema, the Bearded Tit (Redfern) and the Sydney Opera House.

The festival brands itself as “ready to start a conversation” in 2024, and encourages the audience to indulge in good old fashioned discussion around the films being showcased.

“The theme [this year] focuses on films that start conversations. People will be keen to discuss and dissect them as soon as the credits start to roll,” explains Festival Director Lisa Rose.

“There’s so much to sink your teeth into, including several that will inspire lively debate.”

“On behalf of Queer Screen, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of our partners, whose support has a direct and positive impact on filmmakers and audience members alike,” says Queer Screen Co-Chair Abs Osseiran.

The State Library of NSW will also be offering some panel discussions during the festival for viewers looking to get more of an insight into the films on show.

Die Bully Die: Shooting to start in Sydney for a comedy horror short film with a bloody powerful message

Sydney-based actors Matt Backer (Play School, Wellmania, The Twelve) and Drew Weston (Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical) are set to star in Die Bully Die, a comedy horror short film they co-wrote together, which explores the lasting damage of high school bullying.

The film centres around Max (Backer), who has agreed to meet with his high-school bully Adam (Weston) at a fancy restaurant. It’s been 17 years since they last saw each other but Max hasn’t forgotten how Adam used to torment him relentlessly for being gay when they were teens. As the night progresses, Max’s grudge against Adam begins to manifest in increasingly macabre ways, bringing into question whether the horrific events are the result of karma, coincidence or a warped coping mechanism of Max’s.

The inspiration for Die Bully Die came from Matt Backer’s personal experience of being bullied at his all-boys Catholic high-school in Brisbane in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Collaborating with fellow actor and friend, Drew Weston, the script came together over the course of three weeks of intensive writing.

“High school was hell for me, as the homophobic bullying I experienced was intense and constant and it took so many years to unpick that damage,” Matt said.

Drew thought it was “really important to get this story down on paper as bullying and harassment are such universal topics and Matt’s experience with being bullied also speaks to so many varying types of experiences”.

“We thought it would be fascinating to explore that through the lens of a horror comedy and in our voice with our humour,” Drew said. “At its core, we wanted to craft a film that is about two people who simply want to heal their respective pasts: Max clearly needs to talk and process his trauma; Adam clearly needs to connect and be forgiven,” Matt and Drew explain.

“It couldn’t just be a straightforward revenge story because we wanted to thoughtfully explore themes like homophobia, gay shame, and ultimately how important forgiveness can be.”

Shooting will commence in September in Sydney and Matt and Drew are currently crowdfunding for the film via the Australian Cultural Fund.

“The film has moments that call back to old-school classic horror, so the use of in-camera special effects will be visually striking and hopefully shocking,” the writer-actor duo said.

The funds will go towards that, but also to shooting, catering, editing and post-producing with the aim of entering the film into the festival circuit upon completion, according to the funding page.

Die Bully Die will be directed by Nathan and Nick Lacey of Based Film, shot by DOP Patrick Coe and produced by Nicole Thorn, alongside Backer and Weston. Frequent creative collaborators, the team’s last project, Ghosted, was a Highly Commended Finalist for the Dendy Award for Australian Short Film Live Action at the 2022 Sydney Film Festival, and went on to screen at a number of Aussie film festivals. It also starred Matt Backer.

“We really love working with other up-and-coming Aussie screen creatives and being a part of showcasing their amazing talent and dedication to the arts,” said Matt and Drew.

They hope to inspire others through the film’s story to confront their own demons and embrace forgiveness as a path to self-love and acceptance. “And also, maybe make people laugh and gasp a little bit along the way too,” the creators add.

“We’re really leaning into the vibe of a 90s teen rom-com or horror flick so we’re hopeful that audiences have a blast with it as it’ll be one hell of a ride.”

what do u think of the new episodes & shadowy figures reveal ? just curious ur views about it

*deep breath*

So. Shadowy Figure. Shadowy... Figure.

I hate it. That's my short answer. I hate that they're all the same guy, it's way too simple and predictable. Literally anything would be more compelling.

Let's set aside, for the purposes of this.. little... Thought experiment, that I don't hate Venomous, Shadowy and Laser all being the same guy, that that I will ever accept Laser and Venomous as one entity. Even if I block out my disbelief entirely.. Let's Get Shadowy is still just not that good. It certainly like, has it's moments, and I'll admit the concept of Venomous being KOs dad grew on me about a quarter of an inch, but a LOT of the pacing and dialogue felt rushed and sloppy and unnatural. They probably could've drawn it out into two episodes and gotten way better results. Also.. not that Fink was acting out of character by being jealous of KO, but I just never got the impression from episodes like Villains Night Out/In or Boxman Crashes that she was starved for attention, and lately they've been playing it like PV treats her like an afterthought which I just hate. What, just cos he has a son now he's gonna forget about her??? As for Carl... It was just too predictable, they went pretty over the top with Shadowy not... Knowing even remotely how to act like Venomous. It was kind of a yawn fest.

And Dendys Video Channel... God I don't even know where to begin. I'll be completely candid: I haven't always been the biggest Voxman shipper. My adoration at the charming villain romance very quickly dissipated in favour of abhorrence that a (formerly, I guess) caring parent like Venomous would settle for someone like Boxman who treats his kids like garbage. I've long wanted them to break up-.. but I certainly didn't want the reason to be Venomous's bad behaviour. I mean you've gotta be really yikes to make Boxman look sympathetic. But you know what's even more yikes? Boxman just leaving Fink there like yesterdays milk.

And then the whole Boxbot redemption arc we've been waiting 200 episodes for happened in like thirty seconds. Just. None of this was remotely fulfilling and we've got two episodes left.

As for where this is all going, I don't think Venomous really fused with Shadowy of his own volition. But then again so far everything I've thought was a good idea that made narrative sense turned out to be wrong so what do I know

So the long and short of it is: it blows. Best part of the block was Fink seeing Shadowy in the lab and just groaning and walking away.
