    THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK PRESENTS

    Way Back Wednesday - Ch. 22 - The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

    In West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground is where Will Smith spent most of his days. But that was before getting into one, little fight that would quickly change his life and area code. Shipped out west to live with family like any other delinquent Samoan, Will must now navigate a new life and expectations in the golden streets of Bel-Air, California.

    Way Back Whensday is a nostalgic conversation podcast hosted by two California-bred Samoans that reminisces about all the things you remember. Sefa M and Lance Faletogo head down memory lane to give their stories and facts on everything from drafting our favorite Disney songs to whether Xbox or Playstation was the better gaming console growing up. You'll listen and say "Oh yup, I remember that" or be screaming the answers to things we forget lol.

  • The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ch. 15 - ONEFOUR: Against All Odds

    The Polytickin Network presents

    The Pasefika Movie Start Kit | Ch. 15 - ONEFOUR: Against All Odds


    The Starter Kit is taking trips to Mt. Druitt, a disadvantaged Sydney suburb, to follow the meteoric rise of the drill group Onefour as they emerged as the biggest music act in Australia. In this documentary, available on Netflix, we find out how the group formed by protecting each other on the streets, how they started making music in a youth center recording studio, how they fought police harassment and multiple incarcerations, and how they represented for a people and community too long casted aside as dangerous and crime ridden. The music is both violently authentic and authentically violent, leading to questions and conversations about art and whether to limit what's seen as glorifying street violence. We introduce you to the members, talk through their journey and give our final grade for

  • The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ep. 14 - Red, White and Brass

    The Polytickin Network presents:

    The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit tries to keep in step with Maka's marching band scam to get Rugby World Cup tickets. He's promised Wellington council members that he can provide professional entertainment worthy of hyping up the Tonga national team, their fans and the Kingdom. The problem is most of the group has never even played a musical instrument before. This movie was a ride! John-Paul Foliaki's performance had us tearing our hair out but tearing up by the end. Also, the Parents are the Parents! We introduce you to the characters, break down the scenes and give our final scores for

    Marcus had a successful first week off from work and he's been learning a lot of stuff.

  • Episode 76: Mormusalem

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys just might start a mukbang OF if you're willing to pay for it.

    Marcus has left his former job and doesn't know what to do with his time until he starts his new one.

    Sefa doesn't enjoy the cartoonish violence in TV and movies because it can definitely still mess you up mentally.

    The Pod Boys talk about culture again when a young Pasefika woman put out a TikTok explaining that she loves being Poly but doesn't like the culture.

    A little contradictory but whatever.

    Sefa reminisces about American Samoa's Flag Day and how rowdy they can really get.

    The Boys end it on alcoholism in the Pasefika community and how overlooked it truly is.
