Fabian's on the line with all the latest and / or greatest from La La Land. This week he chats about how the desperate state of the movie scene due to Covid has lead to 2019's "bro-y comedy" Buddy Games screening in Aotearoa cinemas. He also highly recommends Promising Young Woman, starring Carry Mulligan. But be warned! Don't look at reviews. Not 30 minutes after chatting to Fabian had Rachel and Zoë ruined it for themselves.

Late last week the AUT Gambling and Addictions Research Centre, Hapai Te Hauora Tapui, The Salvation Army, and The Problem Gambling Foundation announced their support for three new global gambling guidelines. The guidelines aim to provide straightforward quantitative limits for people of legal gambling age who want to make more informed choices about their gambling.
To reduce gambling harm, these three guidelines must be followed -
HOW MUCH? Gamble no more than one percent of household income per month.
HOW OFTEN? Gamble no more than four days per month.
HOW MANY? Gamble regularly on no more than two types of gambling or games.
News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Associate Professor and Director of the Gambling and Addictions Research Centre at AUT Maria Bellringer, who was part of the research process that led to these guidelines. They discuss why global gambling guidelines are important, how they might be used in Aotearoa, and how receptive the gambling industry is to public health and regulatory advice on gambling habits.
deepState is a producer from Tāmaki Makaurau. Their recent releases - the MMXXI EP via Sunreturn, and their self-released Deep Summer EP - are superb efforts with the spirit of 90s downtempo and garage coursing through them. We start the show with a blend of her current faves.
After that, we head to Stadecken-Elsheim in Germany to hear from the enigmatic label Wandlung. Wandlung is run by Morten B. and J. Wassenberg. Morten enjoys coffee, kebap, jazz and football, while Joscha is into programming and playing table games like Wizard or Catan. They are also behind some amazing techno 12s, which have filled a Chain Reaction shaped void in our lives. They close the show with an out of this world mix.
