In 2004, Stratton and Pomeranz moved to the ABC, where they hosted At the Movies with Margaret and David until 2014.
Because SBS introduced advertising! They didn’t move on a whim.
The first midnight movie screening I saw was something that was unbanned in the 90s that David recommended. I thought it was Clockwork Orange or Eraserhead but neither of those are listed as having been banned here. I can’t remember what it was if it wasn’t either of those.

Interesting. Have you got a source for that? If it was such a principled stance you’d think it’d be something they’d have shared publicly, but all my search results are finding news from today.

Not directly no but I think it was heavily implied at the time.
