  • EP.15 What's Up With... Dune 2?
    Mar 2 2025

    My son Georgie jumps into this episode with me to talk about how much we LOVE Dune 2. It is recorded in my car on the way back from the IMAX, so the sound quality is rather rough, but I hope our wild enthusiasm makes up for it. And special guest appearance from my film buddy Stevie! Thanks Stevie!

  • EP. 14 What's Up With...Women in Tech?
    Jan 28 2024

    Lily and I talk about the unsung heroines in technology. We talk about Ada Lovelace (Byron's daughter!), Margaret Hamilton (NASA coder), and the 'Sew Sisters' (who stitched Neil Armstrong's spacesuit.... I'm not making this up). All amazing women who shaped our world, cracked the Enigma Code, and even flew us to the moon! Warning: there are some very bad jingles in this episode (you have been warned)!

    Lily and Bobby discuss the deep mystery of farting! If you are easily offended by flatulence, please refrain from listening. For the rest of you - enjoy!

  • Ep. 12 What's Up With... Mummies?
    Oct 26 2023

    Lily and Bobby go to the amazing Auckland Museum to learn how to make a Mummy out of Lily's little brother George. We also meet a dinosaur and get lost in a giftshop. Come with us and learn about how to wrap a mummy, and how to read the Book of the Dead (which is basically a sort of Afterlife Google Maps). Inspirational stuff!

  • Ep. 11 What's Up With... Sitcoms?
    Aug 26 2023

    Lily and I basically lose our minds over how much we adore sitcoms, picking favourite moments, quotes, characters, and generally being obsessive fans about the short but perfectly formed comedy format that is the mighty and magnificent Sitcom. Oh yes!

  • Ep. 10 What's Up With... The Medium?
    Jul 6 2023

    Lily and Bobby break into the double digits with episode 10 about our favourite book The Boy the Mole the Fox and the Horse, and why we preferred the book to the film (though we loved both). Which fed into a deep discussion on why different stories work in different mediums (books, films, comics). Also, with ten episodes in the bag we are blowing up and our sponsorship is going bonkers with yet another amazing App on board the What's Up Train. So, listen in to our What We Watching App? Thanks to all our sponsors and all of our tens of millions (or just tens) of fans out there. We love you guys!

  • Ep.9 What's Up With...The Generation Gap?
    May 28 2023

    "Please Mind The Gap!" XYZ, BOOMER, ALPHA. Each generation gets a cool name, amazing new technology, new words, and some new issues to deal with. Lily and I talk about all differences between generations and interview some amazing people. Thanks to Taj, Jesse, and George & Carol for talking to us about their generation!

  • Ep.8 - What's Up With...Taika Waititi?
    Mar 27 2023

    Lily and I chat about the greatest Kiwi director of all time, Taika Waititi! It's a chaotic episode - bad jingles, suspicious sponsorship plugs, and shambolic moments - but we manage to cover our general love of all things Taika, and I name drop and talk about the time I was lucky enough to meet the great man. Worth saying that there is a bit of a buzz about this episode, and no not in the sense of hype or interest, just in the sense that my microphone was playing up, and there was weird static (we think it was Korg trying to butt in from the Thor multiverse) but hopefully you can hear most of it.
