Reel Indigenous

In this episode, we welcome Rutherford Falls finest citizens, Jana Schmieding & Sierra Teller Ornelas. They join us for a chat about the amazing series "Rutherford Falls". We chat a bit about working in comedy, being Indigenous in the entertainment world, and a even a little bit about an alleged Emmy steal from a show we never heard of.

Enjoy this lovely chat, and when you're done, go watch Rutherford Falls season 1 and 2 streaming on Peacock. And if you've seen it already -- watch it again, and then let the Peacock know that we need more seasons of this brilliant show.

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.

NERD ALERT!!!!

We finally get to talk about a Marvel movie. It's a good life when we can talk about Indigenous content in the MCU. In this episode, Angela and tvli talk about Taika Waititi's "Thor: Lub & Thunder".

Warning, there's a lot of geeking out about the MCU, and all kinds of nerding out. Plus, we hop up on the pulpit and talk about the religious content in this film.

Tune in next Sunday when the sermon will be, "There's only one God, and we're pretty sure he doesn't dress like that".

The MUSIC is:

"Our Love is Not God" by Kat Lock, from the album, "Some Recurring Notes"

Thanks for listening. and remember:

Don't just be real. Be

REEL INDIGENOUS!

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.

The music, once again, is:

"Room to Grow" by Kat Lock from her "Some Recurring Notes" album.

Dig it if you can.

Thanks for listening.

Don't just keep it real...keep it Reel Indigenous!

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.

Remember, don't just keep it real..keep it Reel Indigenous!

We're back, baby, with 8 lives to spare.

Why?

Because some people got to see the new cool as a fan TV series, "Dark Winds", and we got to inquire with these bonafide media critics about it. Y'all know we had to come back for this.

In this episode our baby boy has come back home to us. After a brief stint of doing some real movie stuff, Jason Asenap has returned.

And not just that -- we gots us a special guest. Another real life critic who hails from Geek Girl Authority and goes by the handle:

Noetta Harjo.

We are so lucky that she has decided to slum it with us lowly poddycast folks.

Since Jason and Noetta are real life critics, they got to watch the new AMC show "Dark Winds". And they come here to spill the beans about what they saw.

Then after our chat, our real life journalist, Angela Startz, puts on her journalistic hat and talks about the time she hung out at a virtual roundtable discussion with Jessica Matten, Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Chris Eyre and Graham Roland -- the acting people, creators and storytellers of "Dark Winds".

The discussion was sponsored by the great folks at the Native American Journalist Association (NAJA).

This is kind of a long episode so hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening.

After you're done listening, don't forget to do some reading of Noetta Harjo's writings at:

Guess we're not taking a break just yet. Indigenous content be showing up all over the place (and it's about damn time! - and we still need more). Also, guests kept showing up to the party and they were the cool kids so we kept inviting them in.

Looks like the light's ain't turned out, the party ain't over, and we just gonna dance the night away!

So, keep them ears up and keep on listening. We'll whisper sweet somethings in your ear.

Thanks for showing up. It's not really a party without you. You're one of the cool kids. And, as always, rate and review and all that good stuff.

Thanks a lot for listening to our discussion of "Reservation Dogs". We're taking a break, but will be back in a few weeks. So subscribe, rate and review and let us know what kind of discussions you'd like to hear. Until then, don't just be real. Be reel Indigenous.

Welcome special guest, Maddi Williams! Maddi is an Aussie and a big fan of Reservation Dogs. We ask her the burning questions about how non-Indigenous viewers relate to the humor and stories of Rez Dogs, and about life in Australia.
