The Little Band scene was represented, albeit semi-fictionally, in the 1986 cult film "Dogs in Space", directed by Richard Lowenstein and starring INXS frontman Michael Hutchence. Primitive Calculators briefly reformed to star in the film, playing a new version of their song "Pumping Ugly Muscle". Original little band Thrush and the Cunts also appear with the song "Diseases", and little band figurehead Marie Hoy performs a cover of "Shivers" by the Boys Next Door. The live music scenes were supervised by Whirlywirld's Ollie Olsen, who also appears in the film. Coinciding with the film's long-awaited re-release, Lowenstein revisited "Dogs in Space", the Little Band scene and Melbourne post-punk in general in the 2009 documentary "We're Livin' on Dog Food", featuring rare footage and interviews with various members of the scene.
