Sam returns to talk about what he's been watching in the during his hiatus. The Boys was his pick this week, a series that takes a different look at the world of superheroes and a commentary on the ~fame and fortune~ that comes with saving the world.
BBC's Years & Years (2019) is Sam's pick for the week, and both Tess and 95bFM's News Director, Lillian, are big fans. Featuring Emma Thompson and Russell Tovey, this series will make you laugh, cry, and possibly have an existential crisis. An intensely good time.
Sam's talking Euphoria this week. An HBO show that has been hyped by and chatted about a lot, but does it live up to the hype? A series that comes with a warning of it's content, Sam reckons it takes a raw and honest look at some of the harsh realities of teenagehood. Something to watch, but maybe take a break between episodes.
Paul Horan pops into the studio to chat with Rachel and Tess about Aotearoa's diverse history of comedy and the documentary series, Funny As: The Story Of New Zealand Comedy. And after uploading a tonne of extended interviews for you to view here, Paul talks what makes our comedy scene so special and why we're just so damn funny.
Sam returns to Viewmaster with a the binge-able Workin' Moms, streaming on Netflix. Although season one wasn't his favourite, this 20-minute-episode series caught him on seasons two and three. If you need something to get you through a Sunday hangover, this is the show for you.
As part of 95bFM's ongoing mayoral series, we're speaking to as many candidates running for the top job as possible. Today, Peter Vaughan tells Stewart Sowman-Lund what his approach to running Auckland would be.
*NOTE* This is the full version of the interview. An abridged version played on The Wire.
Sam watched a whole season of Barry in one night and it's safe to say he highly recommends it. This series follows Bill Hader, who plays a hit man who moves to LA and decides it's time for a career change (obviously not always easy in the world of assassination). Sam reckons Barry has flown under the radar and is definitely worth a watch.
