  • The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ep 13: Next Goal Wins (2023)

    The Polytickin Network presents

    The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit travels back to American Samoa for Taika Waititi's colorful and sacrilegious film about the world's worst soccer team and their battle for World Cup qualification. Based upon the 2014 documentary of the same name, we are taken back to the Motherland to find her national soccer squad lacking in equipment, training and confidence. Disgruntled coach Thomas Rongen is sent to the deeply religious island to train the team up but first must get accustomed to their traditions and rediscover his passion for coaching in time for a match against Tonga. We introduce you to the team, break down each scene and give our final scores for

    Next Goal Wins

  • Episode 75: Allocating Toilet Time

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys are out here looking for sponsors so if that's you? Let us know.

    Marcus had his first Zoom interview and now he appreciates in-person interviews a lot more.

    Sefa now has his 3-month evaluation at his job and it's terrible for an overthinker like himself.

    The Pod Boys then talk about the discourse surrounding actor Vairrun Strickland, who was shown to have a Samoan pe'a (sogaimiti) when he posed on the cover of Playboy.

    Sefa wonders if the Drake vs. Everybody beef will stay hip-hop or if things will escalate because it's getting a little personal out here.

    The Boys then give their flowers to Alissa Pili, who was the 8th overall pick in the WNBA draft, marking the 2nd time a woman of Polynesian descent was drafted.

    Hell yeah.


    Enjoy the show!

From Alamein to Moana, Johnny Lingo to Baron To'a, Once Were Warriors to Sione's Wedding, we revisit all the movies we've covered and discuss why we took them high or waited to draft a certain traumatizing movie late.

  • The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit | Ep. 11: Moana

    Presented by The Polytickin Network

    The Pasefika Movie Starter Kit is guided past the reef by the light of a giant manta ray as we follow the voyage of Moana (voiced by Auli'i Cravalho), an adventurous teenage chief-in-training as she travels the great ocean to restore the heart of Te Fiti. After a darkness reaches her island, Moana must set out to find Maui, the forsaken demigod of the Wind and Sea, to help get past a lava monster guarding Te Fiti. We went deep diving into this script, reciting our hardest-hitting lines, as well as it's songs by Te Vaka's Opetaia Foa'i and Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda. We'll introduce you to the characters, break down each scene and give our final scores for

  • Way Back Whensday | Ch. 18 - Dragon Ball

    We are joined by anime expert Mikey Hodges to discuss all things Dragon Ball after a devastating loss in the anime community, the passing of manga legend and Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Lance is clueless but Sefa and Mikey more than inform and educate while naming their favorite story arcs, most powerful moves, what made Goku worthy and their biggest takeaways from the franchise as a whole.

  • Episode 73: Thank You Toriyama-Sensei

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys had some stuff to get off their chest so you know.

    Do with that what you will.

    Marcus cannot get enough of Shogun. Maybe now he'll actually finish a show.

    Sefa's medication has given him a rumbly in his tumbly so I guess he has to die now.

    The Pod Boys then go in on the vitriol they seen on Facebook when a Samoan gay couple posted a picture of themselves.

    It be your own people.

    They then give their flowers to Akira Toriyama, creator of the Dragonball series, among others, who passed away on March 1.

    Thank you for the memories, sir.

    Enjoy the show!
