We're celebrating Taika Waititi's 50th birthday!
Join us as we discuss this acclaimed writer/director's creative works, including films like 'Eagle vs. Shark' and 'Jojo Rabbit.' We explore the unique humor and serious themes in Taika's storytelling, the vibrant community surrounding his projects, and his lesser-known accomplishments in visual art. The conversation also touches on the feel-good factor in 'Next Goal Wins' and the importance of perspective in storytelling. We also delve into various themes surrounding representation in film, the impact of fan art, and our fan fiction recommendations.
