Damien Shatford’s latest with The Monkeys for Meat & Livestock Australia has received 5 stars from David Reviews:  "Make your last meal count. The beef in this Meat & Livestock Australia commercial is to die for. A cruise ship is about to sink, but the captain's cool as a cucumber. The lifeboats have all been deployed, the women and children are safe, and there's even enough room for the men! So why does the captain stay put as tables and chairs slide past? Well, the chef has been good enough to cook a humongous steak with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and carrots. What kind of captain would let it sink to the briny depths, eh? He removes a cloche and voila–there's a hunk of beef for his first mate, too. No need to wear a bib, that life jacket will do just fine. We love how granular the captain's lack of self-preservation is. He wants documents removed from the safe, then tropical fish, encyclopaedias, and his paintings of Donna rescued before him. The captain goes down with the ship, but "that thing over there" does not."
