This week, further to our Solidarity Position of resolutely pretending America has never made a film, we're checking out a New Zealand production! Will our hearts be warmed by this tale of two misfits on the run, or will Taika Waititi's complete inability to not cast his friends somewhat undercut the movie's condemnation of the racialised abuse endemic to the foster care system?

To help us get to the bottom of this question we've brought on friend of the show Ross Palethorpe, a youth worker and certified Kiwi!

THE MOVIES ARE ON STRIKE!

SAG-AFTRA is on strike for a number of reasons, from pay for streaming residuals, to the rights to own your own appearance, to the right to not have AIs trained off your work.

So if you've got a few spare pennies, why not chip in to help keep movies from becoming Shit Forever.

IATSE workers are struggling at the moment as well, as they can't work during the current strike actions but aren't themselves on strike- the Motion Picture Television Fund is a 501(c)3 charity that provides a range of assistance. https://mptf.com

Additionally, SAG and WGA members started another 501(c)3 charity called The Union Solidarity Coalition - https://tusctogether.com

And if you're in the UK, the UCU could still do with some help
