Dr Wells made her presence in the studio through the phone lines this morning, but her unfortunate flu didn't stop her from reviewing Rick and Morty Season 3. Pickle Rick, a smarter Morty and animated farting, Season 3 has it all from the wacky Grandad - Grandson duo.
Maria's bringing in dark tales of the silk road... You know, the online version. Deep Web is a documentary about the tales of online encrypted trading; the darkest secrets of the deepest web. Ooo, spooky.
Maria has actually used the word _exceptional_ this week, what a glorious occasion. McQueen is about to hit cinemas and you don't want to miss out on this intimate and professional depiction of one profound influence in the world of fashion.
Daylight savings got to the Dr. this morning so Mike catches up with Maria over the phone to recommend Hibiscus & Ruthless, the wholesome kiwi tale of obedience and sticking to the straight and narrow. Definitely something to check out if you're in the mood for a chuckle.
Dr. Maria kicks off 2019 with a bang. Her first selection is one that received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it has to be good, right?Summer 1993, the film worthy of such high appraisals, follows the story of a six-year-old fresh who is fresh to the country side, living with her new legal guardians. Safe to say, Maria's pretty impressed.

Amnesty International has released a new briefing that reveals bullets were fired directly into the Manus Island refugee centre on April 14th. The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Papua New Guinea police claimed the soldiers fired only into the air. However, Amnesty International claims that digital verification of images and videos show this is not the case. Monday Wire host Amanda Jane Robinson speaks with Executive Director of Amnesty International about the briefing.
Ximena joins Ben & Reuben for the Monday show this week while Amanda is away. They take a look at the growing use of opioid-based pain-killers in New Zealand, a new UN treaty that bans nuclear weapons, and a young new Act Party candidate running in Auckland Central.

We spoke to Green Party leader James Shaw about the National party’s new youth offending policies as well, and we discussed the rebranding of the Green Party. We had Southern Cross with AUT Pacific Media Centre's Kendall Hutt, who talked to Stephanie and Kenneth Tapungu from Papua New Guinea about what transpired in the country's recent 2017 general election.
