    Fan favorite Colleen Clancy (@JumpingCeliac, Running & Blogging About It) is back with one of her faves, Fisk!

    This Aussie workplace comedy bring quirk, warmth, laughs and cultural references you won't exactly get, but will catch on. It's good for what ails you, which great news for Anthony who's battling a cold.

    S1 E4 Suitable For Framing. Love the ending of this one.

    S3 E 2 Any Old Port in a Storm. Donald Pleasence loves wine and a little bit of murder.
    S4 E2 Negative Reaction Dick Van Dyke kills his wife.

    If you can watch more:

    S1 E1 Murder by the Book Directed by a 24-year-old Steven Spielberg.
    S2 E1 Etude in Black John Cassavetes is really good in this one.
    S3 E7 Swan Song Johnny Cash is gospel singer, pilot and murderer. Good music in this one.

  • RIAW: Eagle-Eye Cherry's Desireless (1997) & NipGuards with Dru Johnston
    Oct 18 2025

    Man, this is a wild one.

    We're talking Eagle-Eye Cherry's album Desireless EXCEPT for Save Tonight. And also NipGuards. Mostly NipGuards.

    I don't know who this one's for, but it's the brain-child of Dru Johnston, one of the funniest humans I know.

    Oh, also, we're doing a Nepo Baby Fantasy Draft.

  • RIAW: Wellington Paranormal (2021) with Caitlin Gill
    Sep 23 2025

    Things are about to get weird! It's X-Files meets Cops meets a person with a bed sheet over their head.

    After 2014's What We Do in the Shadows, New Zealand cops Minogue and O'Leary get their documentary crew to lightly investigate near Wellington's most extreme paranormal activity.

    '70s orgy ghosts, drunk werewolves, blood bag-stealing vampires, spitting cloning plant aliens, and 16 creep clowns are all ignored or gently reprimanded.

    If you're in the mood for spoopy cozy vibes with occasional projectile fluids, you might just get glamoured by Wellington Paranormal.
