  tawâw and welcome to this very special first episode of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci kîsikohk otôtêma pîkiskwêyiwa: Métis in Space Theatre Presents! Our first guest host is Tara McGowan-Ross, an urban Mi'kmaq multidisciplinary artist.

Bid adieu to 2020, that hell year, and kick off Season 6 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk with Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel as they review "Recipe For Seduction," a 15-minute KFC and Lifetime mini-movie featuring "a young heiress struggling to choose between a wealthy suitor chosen by her mother, and the new house chef Harland Sanders." Somehow this also involves a lot of discussion about the work of trophy wives, and comparisons to various Star Trek series.

Métis in Space Pre-Season 6 Interlude

In this Season 5 Episode 10 finale of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel finally watch the most requested movie of their existence as podcasting duo - "The Indian in the Cupboard", where "a boy receives a wooden cupboard, antique keys, and an Iroquois warrior figurine for his birthday. The figurine comes to life overnight in the cabinet."

In Season 5 Episode 9 of otipêyimisiw-iskwêwak kihci-kîsikohk, Métis in Space, Molly Swain, Chelsea Vowel, and guest Daisy "Shania" Swain, review Jeff Barnaby's "Blood Quantum" where "the dead are coming back to life outside the isolated Mi'kmaq reserve of Red Crow, except for its Indigenous inhabitants who are strangely immune to the zombie plague." Atmospheric background noise (actually Molly's computer fan as her laptop gives up the ghost) adds annoying ambiance to this episode, making listeners want to rake jagged nails across their ears, but no amount of filters could get rid of it. Feel free to buy us a laptop for the show if you hate the awful damn buzzing.
