After a shakey start in California for Fabian Fanboy, he chats with Rachel about some new releases for this week. Spider-Man: Far From Home made it's debut this week and Fabian's not 100% convinced, but he's excited about a few films in NZIFF, especially Under the Silver Lake. Check 'em out.
We've got all sorts of (virtual) theatre for you to catch this week for free, from National Theatre At Home's Frankenstein, to James Malcolm's podcast "James Malcolm Reviews James Malcom" and an absolute classic, Swan Lake, on Marquee.tv.

In the Community Garden, Ihaia from Ōtara Waterways and Lakes Trust joins us to discuss what they are all about.
Palaeontologists digging near Saint Bathans in Central Otago have discovered a fossil that probably belonged to the Southern Hemisphere’s oldest known swan species. The Bannockburn Swan lived between 16 and 19 million years ago on Lake Manuherikia, a huge lake covering most of modern Central Otago.
Joe spoke to Paul Scofield, a Senior Curator of Natural History and Adjunct Professor in Palaeontology in the Geology Department at the University of Canterbury, about the discovery.
A new poll has highlighted that 82% of National voters said it was important to them to protect lakes, rivers, and drinking water. 54% cited specific concerns for nitrate contamination in water.
This is despite proposed Government rollbacks on fresh water protection, which Greenpeace claims will lead to “more polluted lakes, more unswimmable rivers, more contaminated drinking water, and more extinction.”
Caeden spoke with Greenpeace’s Will Applebe about why there is such a disconnect between what voters are saying in polls versus what the Government is actually doing.
Yesterday the Green party announced their Healthy Oceans Act where they have set out a target to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.
This will mean banning fishing, mining, and other harmful industries from a third of the oceans.
Rawan spoke to Ellie Hooper, Oceans campaigner at Green Peace Aotearoa about why this policy is important.
They talked about enforcement and consequences, the response from Seafood New Zealand and compared the Green’s Policy to Labour’s proposal last week to partially ban Bottom trawling from the Hauraki gulf.
That was Ellie Hooper from Green Peace Aotearoa talking about the Green party’s Healthy oceans act
