January 30, 2024 PMSK REview | Colonizers & Shame
We'll be releasing new movie reviews every other week starting Tuesday, February 6 with our full breakdown, theme dives and Final Scores for 2020's "The Legend of Baron To'a". #Tonga #TheLegendOfBaronToa
For our final standalone PMSK REview we take a deeper look into The Tattooist and its main character's ties to Pacific colonialism and the dynamics that shame cast on different characters in their own ways. It takes a real work of art to bounce from culture to culture, community to community and continuously take for your own personal gain, which is probably why it's hard to make a connection with Jake Sawyer in the first place. Let us know your thoughts on #TheTattooist #PMSK #REview #PasefikaMovieStarterKit

Robbie Magasiva and Nathaniel Lees each pop off the screen in their scenes while David Fane With Hair gives a bone-chilling performance as a facsinating villian. We'll introduce you to the characters, break down the scenes and give our Final Scores for

January 16, 2024 PMSK Review | Image & Rumors
The PMSK REview is a deeper look into some of the topics we don't get into when doing the scene-by-scene breakdowns. We return to The Legend of Johnny Lingo to speak on not being bound to others' expectations (shout out to Trey Lance), how your self-image can affect your life and how a good rumor can grow into a wildfire like a forgotten ember burning down a house. First we need to change the background. #TheLegendOfJohnnyLingo #PMSK #REview #PasefikaMovieStarterKit

December 26, 2023 PMSK REview | Boys & Potential
The PMSK REview is a deeper look into some of the topics we don't get into when doing the scene-by-scene breakdowns of contemporary classic Pasefika films. We return to our latest entry to the Pasefika Movie Starter Kit, Taika Waititi's "Boy", to talk through the movie's theme of Potential and the different ways Boy and Alamein use their natural gifts to try and realize theirs. We also learn about Maori troops in El Alamein, Eygpt that helped turn the tide and win World War II.

December 19, 2023 "Boy" (2010)
The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit moonwalks back to Waihau Bay, Aotearoa in 1984 to find a boy who believes the very best in his absentee father. Alamein is an 11-year old man-of-the-house whose life is turned upside down when his father returns home to find his long-buried treasure. Filled with big cries, surprise reveals, loud laughs (and an enraging acting performance by writer and director Taika Waititi as the leader of the Crazy Horses), we cannot recommend this movie enough. AN INSTANT CLASSIC! We introduce you to the characters, break down each scene and give our Final Scores for "Boy".

December 13, 2023 PMSK REview | Warriors & Alcohol
The PMSK REview is a deeper look into some of the topics we don't get into when doing the scene-by-scene breakdowns of contemporary and classic Pasefika films. We return to our first entry of the Pasefika Movie Starter Kit, "Once Were Warriors", and to Jake The Muss's love for the pub and what in his past generations may have led to it. We start with lucid dreaming, though. #OnceWereWarriors #PMSK #PasefikaMovieStarterKit

The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit travels back to 2014 to watch a treasured documentary (and soon-to-be feature film) that follows American Samoa's national soccer team in their attempt to win a World Cup qualifying match after years (decades?) of being the worst-ranked team in the world. Join us as we are transported back to Pago Pago Field and the backdrop of the lush, dark green mountains surrounding Pago Harbor, and also as we travel to international matchups in New Caledonia and neighboring Samoa.
We introduce you to the players and coaches, break down the movie from beginning to end, and discuss what this story means to our community and the world.
