    The Polytickin' Network Wellness Challenge has officially started and the boys are still trying to figure out the prize(s).

    Sefa has now become a manly man after installing a brand new kitchen sink and a projector in his room.

    How can it not be Def Jam: Vendetta or Fight for NY?

  • Episode 108: The Undisputed Tribal Chief Championship

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Movie Boys are in here because Sefa was at work.

    Marcus might did the fattest thing he's done in awhile at his job.

    Lance is working on keeping his promises, especially to himself.

    The Movie Boys sprint through Week 16 of the NFL season and things are wonky.

    The WWE has come up with an idea for a new belt, the Undisputed Tribal Chief Championship, for the Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa rivalry.

    Sounds a bit much.

  • The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ep. 26 - Lupe Fa'alele (Soaring Doves)

    THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK presents

    The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ep. 26 - Lupe Fa'alele

    The Starter Kit slinks over the threshold of our childhood church auditorium, feeling awkward but at home in the back pews of the church. Smells like cushions, and hymnals. In this episode, we will be reviewing Daniel Pouesi's investigative documentary "Lupe Fa'alele", which covers different abuses of power by some Samoan pastors and church leaders and attempts to answer exactly who the "abusive" Lupe Fa'alele, or God's chosen leaders, are. We talk through the film's perspectives and revelations. We are Blasphemous and Sacrilegious, sure, but that's some of the conversations that this movie provokes and forces us to confront. We'll introduce you to the subjects, give you the story arc and breakdowns, as well as give our final Starter Kit ratings for

  • Episode 107: Panipopo Appropriation

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys are in the building because Lance had something to take care of.

    Marcus has been watching Gomorrah and now he's from Naples.

    Sefa attended the CLP Graduation for the second year in a row and has been on stage teaching people a few things.

    The Boys get into panipopo and the fact that it's trending on TikTok.

    When it comes to cuisine, it's hard to call it appropriation when there aren't many ingredients tied to cultural importance.

    Jay-Z is in the news for allegedly being Diddy-like and the boys don't know what to believe.

    If he's guilty, lock him up.

    Enjoy the show!

  • Ballinesian Podcast | Ep 138: Raiders Draft targets, Chiefs keep winning, Puka pops off, Tua keeps Fins alive

    BALLLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

    The Raiders now have the inside track to the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, who will they be targeting with that pick? We'll talk about the Shedeur Sanders-Las Vegas connection before jumping into other games around the league. Chargers couldn't keep it together long enough to survive Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Rams WR Puka Nacua went absolutely bonkers vs Josh Allen and his six(!) TDs, Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa being clutch in crunch time to pick up a tough divisional win vs Aaron Rodgers and the Jets to keep the Fins' playoff hopes alive (12%). We'll also talk about the Steelers and Ravens closing out the season to see who will end up on top of the AFC North (they play each other in two weeks), and then some College Football Playoff discussion including Forest's takes on Why you should cheer for 7-seed Notre Dame (because they're backed by God lol).

  • Episode 106: And Park

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network Boys are in there, bud.

    Marcus went to his first professional film shoot courtesy of an invite from the homie Deuce J, so shout out to her.

    Sefa is on to Silo and Shrinking, so what y'all watching?

    The Network Boys discuss the hoopla surrounding Drew Afualo's stance that the Samoan language is dying.

    After a surprisingly civil debate in the TikTok comment section, people went in on her for this take.

    Also, Moana 2 broke some records, man! But still drew criticism for having another weak, whitewashed story with hints of anti-blackness.

    What y'all think?
