'Tis the season of 'bring a plate' and Ange is here to advocate for that plate being a jazzed up salad. ...So does that mean we can have an extra slice of pav then?
Surprisingly strong MDMA has hit NZ shores. Some might rejoice at this news, but it’s cause for concern, according to Wendy Allison, Director of Know Your Stuff; An organisation aimed at drug use testing and harm reduction at events and festivals nationwide. With the progam now in it’s third summer season of drug testing, I caught up with Allison to talk about what the organisation is all about, how they operate, and the risks with stronger drugs hitting our summer festivals.
Sam's chatting about a show he absolutely hates this week. Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet is an ambitious series trying to combine family values with gory zombie-lore. With its second season underway, our television expert can only pray it's not renewed for a third.
Things get a little fruity in the studio as we enter the ever-divisive feijoa season. Some love it, some hate it, and Delaney, bless her, is forever caught in the middle. Join us for more on what some are calling the Israel Folau of the fruit world. Things won't get too sour, we promise.
Television extraordinaire Sam Sinnott gives us the lowdown on the highly-anticipated second season of Netflix's Dear White People. Is Mikey a fan? Is PC culture simply taking it too far? There's only one way to find out.
Our television expert might be compromising his double degree to be here but it's alllll good (or so he says). Is reviewing Safe (2018) worth the academic risk? Uhh... sure! Standing at a solid 6.5 rating from the man himself, this Michael Hall starrer (of Dexter fame) is only 10 episodes long with no future seasons in sight. A quick binge indeed - your degree will be fiiiine.
Journalist, filmmaker, producer, and apparent Louis Theroux variant (to the unimaginative on Twitter, at least), David Farrier drops in to the studio to talk about his brand new Netflix series, Dark Tourist. Sadist horror houses, nuclear radiation sites, murder tours... Mike's hooked. But is there anything left for Season Two?
Ngahiriwa is a producer for WAITĪ Productions, repsonsible for the theatre piece I Ain’t Mad At Cha - a sellout offering from Basement Theatre's 2017 Matariki Development Programme. Back for an return season, Ngahiriwa talks to Geneva about how a tale of a hip-hop loving Māori teen in late nineties Gisborne speaks to greater truths about growing up, identity politics and colonisation. Don't miss out, get your tickets HERE.
Atypical has stolen Sam's heart, and he's not afraid to say so. And dare he say it, but the second season might be better - I know, a sequel that's superior?! Craziness!
Sam loves American Horror Story and he's not afraid to say it, despite being a three out of ten (Sam says), he still thinks season eight of Ryan Murphy's long standing, anthology horror series deserves an honourable mention. He reckons if you are a fan of American Horror Story then you should continue to do so.
