An ordinary Aussie, a big bank, an outrageous true story….

Luke ‘Milky’ Moore is a fun-loving Australian country boy who transforms into a high-rolling playboy, a prison inmate, and a successful criminal lawyer – all because of a bank error.

Milky’s story starts in a dark place. After the 2008 stock market crash, Milky loses his job, life savings, suffers serious injury in a massive car accident, and struggles to make his house payments. And of course, his girlfriend leaves him. But at this lowest point, his bank accidentally throws him a lifeline. It starts automatically making house payments without deducting money from his account and if he withdraws money it isn’t detected. Milky thinks fate has given him a second chance. He moves to the Miami of Australia: the Gold Coast and the money just keeps on coming. Two million dollars later he’s the king of the party scene where every night it’s strippers, fast cars, drugs, and new friends. But how long can the party last before the law catches up to him?

Narrated by comedian Jim Jefferies, hear this great Australian ripping yarn directly from the people who lived it. This unique comedy documentary will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing, crying, appalled, and entertained, but dying to hear how much deeper s##t Milky can get himself into.

SUPERWOG are Australia’s best- known and best-loved culturally diverse comedy duo. In late 2018 they released their first 7-episode half-hour comedy series, which quickly became the most watched scripted TV half-hour comedy in Australia that year.

The much-anticipated second season of SUPERWOG picks up where the first season left off, following teenage outsiders, Superwog and Johnny, who must overcome the adversity that stems from their ethnic heritage in a bid to stand out while still fitting in.

Superwog and Johnny are codependent best friends, struggling to make the leap from adolescence to young adulthood. The boys spend their time watching porn, fighting with their parents, and obsessively chasing chicks with little to no success. Their distorted views of the world, risky judgements and dubious decision-making skills often lead them to trouble, with mayhem inevitably following as the pair strive to fit in and gain social standing in a predominately ‘Aussie’ society.

Off the back of their hit ABC TV / #1 YouTube trending first season, the second season dives further into Superwog’s world and volatile family unit, exploring themes like father and son rivalry, the pursuit of women, friendship and loyalty, family relationships, cultural comparison, and social status, all interwoven with stories from familiar characters from their highly successful YouTube videos.

HOW TO STAY MARRIED is an eight-part comedy series about staying together when romance has made way for routine and the ever-changing nature of family life continually throws curve balls into the mix. It’s a refreshing and heart-warming look at the problems that can befall even the best marriage, blending the daily challenges with the hilarious minutiae of domestic life.

In season three, stay-at-home-dad Greg becomes overly involved in primary school politics. He’s driven by a rivalry with perfect parent, Luna, who’s also the President of the Parents and Friends Association. Luna has the irritating knack of beating Greg at every turn, but when Greg realises he has a groundswell of popular support, a leadership spill seems inevitable.

Meanwhile, breadwinner Em faces her own personal challenge when her domineering boss tasks her with ghostwriting yet another “autobiography” for a well-known Australian cricketer. For someone like Em who still dreams of writing a bestseller, it’s a dull hard slog, until she uncovers a scandal that could ruin several careers, including her own.

Woven throughout their personal battles, Greg and Em must also face a constant flurry of family upsets such as teenage heartbreak, stolen school lunches and the untimely death of a beloved pet turtle. But the biggest upset of all occurs when Em discovers she might be pregnant. How on earth will a brand new baby fit into this already crazy mix?

In a warped Australian reality, two besties are on a quest for degeneracy and love…
