Netflix and Grill

In the latest episode of the Netflix and Grill podcast I was joined by my childhood friend and avid Netflix aficionado Braden Smith to talk about our significant soft spot for the new fab five. As Braden mentions in the ep, coming from two people who dislike reality TV as much as we do, the praise is significant, but also well earned. This 2018 iteration of Queer Eye is transformative, not just for the men whose lives are being transformed on the screen, but for the millions of people watching it at home as well. Preconceptions, hard hearts and outdated beliefs are literally being transformed before our very eyes and not a moment too soon. To hear us unpack all the fun and fabulousness make sure you tune in, this one you won't want to miss.

Let's talk about this movie. Let's put our brain back together out of the pile of goo it turned into lying on the floor after this movie and try to piece some stuff together about what the heck happened out there!? Annihilation didn't do great at the box office but has fortunately found a second life on Netflix. David Molloy from the Nothing 2 Fear podcast joins me in this episode to talk body horror, Alex Garland, great Natalie Portman performances and what the hell was going on in the shimmer! Enjoy.

In the third and final installment of our "Black Panther Megapod" I interview Catherine Steele, who has worked in the set and costume departments of blockbuster Hollywood films like God's of Egypt, Peter Rabbit and Alien Covenant. We discuss a wide range of topics including the extremely strong female cast, the similarities between Wakanda and Pandora, her favourite costumes, a list of the all time best comic book movies and how she would rewrite Black Panther if she was given the chance.

In Part 2 of Our "Black Panther Megapod" I had the joy of interview my good friend, social entrepreneur and all around stand up guy Tawanda Kungache about his experience of watching Black Panther. Having grown up in Zimbabwe until he was 12 years old before moving to Australia, Tawanda had a unique perspective on the film. We talk about his experiences watching the film, growing up in Kalgoolie, travelling to America, having courageous conversations about race, Letitia Wright's incredible performance as Shuri in making smart look cool and the importance of standing by your beliefs.
