This week, our hosts examine the next two episodes of Marvel's Echo series: Tuklo and Taloa. She's facing the music of the actions she put in place, but what will that do to her family? We love the scenes with Graham Greene and Tantoo Cardinal and the action in the roller rink!

We fan out over Patrick Willie joining us this week to talk Reservation Dogs and the wildly popular YouTube channel "Natives React," and his career as a World Champion Hoop Dancer!

There was a discussion of where to find Dark Winds. It was on AMC Network and AMC+. Season one of Dark Winds is on MAX, Formerly HBO MAX, but we understand that there was a divorce, and HBO was left with nothing and MAX got to have all streaming content. Unfortunately, MAX got in a toxic relationship with Discovery and we don't know how that's going to turn out, but we are praying for them.

Anyways, thanks for listening. And remember...

"I write to preserve my culture; I edit to protect my culture," says Angeline Boulley, author of NYT bestseller "Firekeepers Daughter".

Angeline sits down with Angela at the Charles M. Russell Center to talk about her writing method (it's complicated), her life before writing (also complicated), and what she sees for the future of Indigenous storytelling (Native stories by Natives).

Filmmaker Mark Williams (Choctaw) joins Noetta and Angela to discuss Mark's latest sports doc “The Journey of Tiak Hikiya Ohoyo”, which just screened at SkinsFest.

Mark's other works include Native American Paranormal Project, Violet, and Shiloh., his 2016 short doc available on Amazon Prime.

Music by On Holiday: Skyler FlyingOut, Chance Danner and Jon Jackson.

We finally make it to the end of the first season of reservation dogs. We kind of just talk all about the last episode, a brief recap of the series and our hopes for the future of "Reservation Dogs". On the screen and the actual reservation dogs on the rez. Also, a few of us get a little too giddy about naked Gary Farmer, and we can't prove anything, but I'm sure a few of y'all took some screen shots of his beautiful nakedness. Especially all you aunties out there. All right. enjoy. All the big podcasts ask people to rate and review so please rate and review. Don't know why but it seems like the thing the kids are doing these days. You review it we might read them in a future episode. Give us a 5 star review and we'll more likely read them -- yes, we are ego driven. All right, enjoy.

In this episode, we are joined by honored guests, Nuseka Jacob and Rafael Parker. They chat it up about the film, "Crooked Arrows". They also talk a bit about the game of Lacrosse, levels of cringe, and the pros and cons of communism.

Continuing on with the Barbenheimer experience, we will talk about a small independent movie called, "Oppenheimer", AKA, the "Ken" movie. Also, Angela didn't want to spend 3 hours at a movie theatre so she decided to stay home and watch a series called, "Manhattan" - and may have had a better experience. Once again, we talk about lack of (or in this case, no) Indigenous representation in a story that has a lot of Indigenous connections in relation to the atomic bomb and nuclear power.

We may have misconstrued our facts and knowledge so we will link some articles and stuff that was used in preparing for this episode.

Look at us, we made it to lucky episode 13.

It feels like it was just last week that we were talking about how much we loved season 1 of Rutherford Falls. Well, it looks like we weren't just a snag. Rutherford Falls has come back to us for a second season, and we are still in love.

In this episode, Noetta Harjo is like a great sitcom character that we just can't get enough of. She's no longer a special guest, and is starting to become a regular, and we are happy for that. So, Noetta, Candice and Angela get together to chat it up about season 2 of Rutherford Falls and say some nice things about it -- especially that wild Halloween episode.

So, crank up the Poddy Cast machine, listen up and witness the greatest love story between a podcast and a TV show.

Forged in fire and hammered into art, metalsmithing is a growing community for young Native artists, melding the past, the present, the SW and the SE together into something new and beautiful.

We've been telling tales in film for over 100 years, and this week, we discuss those early silent films starring Native actors James Young Deer and Princess Red Wing, who were tapped by Pathe films to make more silent films about NDNs.

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with us by watching some films with us on YouTube! The list is on our LinkTree.

Fancy Dance will be at a theater near you soon! To celebrate, and to recover after deadCenter 2024, we present our interview with writer/director Erica Tremblay in 2023.

In this episode, we talk about the kickass movie, "PREY", starring Amber Midthunder and a bunch of Numunu representation. Also, in this episode, we have some very special guests. We have Joey Clift, comedian, TV writer, and enrolled Cowlitz Indian Tribal Member currently working as a staff writer on the Netflix kids animated fantasy adventure series "Spirit Rangers". We also have Sunrise Tippeconnie, filmmaker, film professor, all around genius, who is here to give us some insights on the deep cuts Comanche representation in this film.

If you haven't watched it, watch Prey on Hulu -- watch it in Comanche and English and watch it again.

When "Spirit Rangers" comes out on Netflix, make sure you catch that too.

No, this is not a show about the basketball legend, Randy Rutherford. Though there should be a show about him, and it would be called Rutherford Rises.

In this episode we hop a ride on the flashback machine and head back to the good ol' days of 2021, where we talk about another phenomenally badass Indigenous series that came out way back when called, "Rutherford Falls". We do an overall discussion of season 1 as season 2 streams from the Peacock right now.

Tvli talks about the show from a male point of view, and Candace and Angela have to keep him in check and explain lots of stuff to him.

But, overall, we just boast about how much we love this show.

So put on that "Free Britney" t-shirt, grab your Covid-19 vaccination card so you can remember whether you're team Pfizer or team Moderna, and maybe even Team johnson & Johnson. While you're there, you should fill up a tank of gas for less then $100 as we go back to 2021 when life was easier and "Rutherford Falls" was fresh and new. Then, come back to the present and watch season 2. Hopefully we'll chat about that fairly soon.

Thanks for listening.

The music is:

Why Are You Crying?" by Kat Lock from her "Some Recurring Notes" album.

The podcast where these Indigenous Peoples get real about what’s on our screens, movies, TV, and everything in between. Hosted by Candice Byrd, Jason Asenap, Angela Startz, and tvli

In this episode, we get really deep as we discuss a classic TV show. We tackle the themes of genocide, displacement, pride, resiliency, and white fragility. There is a lot to unpack in this episode and it gets very emotional. It may be emotional for you, dear listener, but we do hope that you can make it to the end. So, make sure you have your tissues and prepare yourself for this special episode.

The music is:

CREDIT:

Of course, the credits are the same as every episode but because this episode was a real emotional one for us to record and was even more emotional to edit, we brought in a special editor to help us out. So, a big thank you to our guest editor, April Folsom.

No, they did not already make a sequel to "PREY", but we made a sequel to our "PREY" discussion. Jason & Sunrise, our resident Numunu, hop on to give us some deep cuts on the Comanche happenings in "PREY". Plus, Sunrise gives us some insight on what he did on the movie.

Then, Angela brings up a little gem of a movie called, 'MOHAWK" and asks the question, is "PREY" just a ripoff of "MOHAWK"? The quick answer: No. But it is a discussion that happened.

Anyways, sit back, relax, get some of that Predator Indian Taco and give us a listen.

Tune in and get inspired by these Indigenous Powerhouses! Lily Gladstone and Jhane Myers visit with our hosts on this special Indian Market episode.

We were able to grab a few minutes at deadCenter Film Festival with the incomparable Lily Gladstone to discuss Quantum Cowboys and Fancy Dance.

For a nice chaser, we revisit our interview with Jhane Myers, who is, once again, nominated for an Emmy, this time for Prey.

What makes a Native story a Native story? What makes Native actors Native actors? When will productions start shooting again (soon, we hope).

How do we describe this week's episode? We'll start by saying that some hosts were left without adult supervision, and then this happened.

We know we're not supposed to talk about Bruno - no no, but in this episode, we do talk about the charming spell of a movie called, "Encanto". We talk about the wonderful music and the many layers of this Disney movie.

And remember, embrace your gifted relatives for who they are, and know that you, too, are gifted. Let’s all heal from our trauma, that way we don't just keep it real, we keep it

We continue our Host Interviews this week with Monica Brain, former journalist, current broadband advocate and raccoon enthusiast.

Our wide-ranging discussion covers the hands, morals and ethics of trash pandas, the Apes movies, Yoda, and the importance of digital equity across Indian Country.

In this episode we talk about the episode that has guest star and national treasure, Gary Farmer. We also talk about family and kinship and how that relates to us in our Indigenous cultures, and we also share our lack of knowledge of weed, but seem to talk exhaustively about it. So, grab your weed jar, snack on some back strap, and maybe kick some ass -- about 10 or 20 or 30, and listen to us chat it up.

Music for this episode is:

"Forever Boy" by Kat Lock - Karaoke/instrumental version

Our resident Osage citizen Candice Byrd-Boney leads the group in a discussion of the feature film Killers of the Flower Moon, the epic directed by Martin Scorsese and filmed in Oklahoma with the Osage Nation as consultant.

We have thoughts.

Producer and director Yvonne Russo joins us this week to talk about Vow of Silence: the Assassination of Annie Mae, a docuseries now airing on Hulu. Annie Mae was a member of the American Indian Movement who disappeared, only to be found dead months later in South Dakota. Yvonne shares her journey of discovery and how this story is especially relevant today.

For this Indigenous People's Day, we have a very good Indigenous person as a guest on our podcast. Freelance journalist, rights advocate, generally someone who's mad on the internet (and with Stitt as governor, who wouldn't be?) and big fan of "Reservation Dogs", we welcome Frances Danger.

In this episode, we give big love to all things "Reservation Dogs", and talk about the love of all things Indigenous.

Thanks for listening.

Especially for this Indigenous People's Day, you don't just keep it real, you keep it

Chris Cote, Osage language consultant for Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, joins our hosts to talk Oscars!

Girl-on-girl violence, racism, great soundtrack, chokers...the Hulu series Under the Bridge has the 90s all over it. Our hosts discuss the first episodes of the series starring Lily Gladstone and Riley Keogh and how very Canadian it all seems.

In this episode, we get back to our roots and talk about "Reservation Dogs" season 2, episodes 1 & 2. We also go off topic and chat a bit about the problems with the Sonics regime change, how much we love taco mayo and Braums. No one mentions Mazzio’s but we also love Mazzio’s. We also talk about the "Jaws" and "E.T." re-release, and ask the immortal question: how does pan and scan work for IMAX films?

"Reservation Dogs" may not have jumped the shark, but we just may have.

Thank you very much for listening. Please rate and review.
