Never since the major sizzle and reveal of Australian Pie / Meat Pie / Going Down Under has there been talk of Tony Martin‘s co-host of radio’s Get This Ed Kavalee on his own movie adventure – we FINALLY get to see it!
A film project that Kavalee has been working on for the last few years – Scumbus – is seeing the light of day, thanks to Channel 10. Not to be confused with the vengabus, Scumbus tells the story of two irresponsible police officers who are doomed to a makeshift police caravan in a suburb full of “there’s chuck everywhere!” and “weekend” listeners. Tommy (Kavalee) goes by the book, but Red (Toby Truslove) has other ideas.
Kavalee reportedly spent around $60,000 of his own coin to get the independent project up and running, with friends and colleagues playing roles in the film. The cast includes Martin himself, as well as favourite Lachy Hulme, Glenn Robbins, Ryan Shelton, Dave Hughes, Samantha Tolj and other familiar faces.

As a diehard fan of Get this, Scumbus i.s
brilliant movie.I got my “helmet of hair” fix. I was laughing my head off as the wife looked at me as if I a mental case. I have to say well done “chickenman”, wheres my copy of I.D. or maybe a sweet remote controlled helicopter.
ScumBus was the Best thing I have seen this year on TV. When Is ScumBus Coming out on DVD
Anybody know where one could get a copy of this if one happened to miss it when it was first shown? I can’t believe I missed this!!! I mean, as the man would say, “THIS IS DIZZY STUFF, FOLKS.” !!!!!
Channel 10 (Melb) Sunday 8 December 2013 11pm.
I think I’m in the same boat as a lot of people.
When is the DVD being released.
I’ve missed both screenings of Scumbus and I’m not sure if it has even been shown in Sydney.
It would be nice to add it to my collection of Get This Podcasts & The Joy of Sets TV Series.
Not to mention at least watching it.
Will we see the DVD any time soon.
Please say yes.
Cheers.

Thanks shitscared.
I was hoping for the DVD to get quality over content.
But, if this is it, it will do.
At least I can watch it just in case we never see the DVD.
Hope the bloody Internet holds up.
Ciao and thanks again.
