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

Lupe Fa'alele (Soaring Doves)

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!

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).

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?

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to the BALLINESIAN PODCAST on The Polytickin Network. Thanks for tuning in! We are Samoans talking about Sports (mostly NFL football, because of course). This week we're recapping Chargers rookie WR Ladd McConkey's big game to help Los Angeles win in Atlanta, the Raiders fumbling away a change to strike down the Kansas City Chiefs, whether your victorious opponent planting their flag at your midfield is cause for post-game battle, if the Steelers should re-sign Mr. Unlimited Russell Wilson, how the Men's Survivor Series: War Games match went and much more.

Rate us Five Stars! Leave us a review or comment and let us know what topics, takes or teams you want to hear us talk about or ways you think we can improve. It takes a village to raise a podcast baby. Thanks in advance for your input, we want to hear from you.

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

Thanksgiving was yesterday in America, so Lance and Marcus are a little full, but they're not quitters you know they're going for seconds and thirds.

Sef and Lance saw Moana 2, and Marcus didn't, so he's behind as usual.

Sef had a gripe about the music and them involving Lin Manuel-Miranda, who turns out wasn't involved.

The Network Boys discuss Drake and his impending suits against Universal Music Group and Spotify for artificially inflating the numbers for Kendrick's Not Like Us and for defamation.

Yikes, this dude is not of the culture.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome to the Ballinesian Podcast on The Polytickin Network!

Happy Thanksgiving! All the other podcasts might have left you disappointed and sitting out to dry like some of yalls turkeys, but if some emergency holiday (or get away) entertainment is your wish while you're making the drive up to Grandma's house with a van full of family, are already in the kitchen making food, or even just waiting for that Giants-Cowboys game to be over, we got you.

Lance Faletogo and Coach Forest Duldulao give you "Sports Things We're Thankful For" before recapping the Los Angeles Chargers and Coach Jim Harbaugh getting punked by their Big Bro Ravens on Monday Night Football. We'll also get DOUBLE QB INJURY NEWS for the Las Vegas Raiders, as well as a look at their last six games and how likely they are to have a Top 3 draft pick next year.

We'll then knock out our Quick Hits, including if the Niners should be "embarrassed" by their performance last week vs the Packers, whether Saquon Barkley should be MVP ahead of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, and what's going on with the Houston Texans and QB CJ Stroud who have been BUGGING recently.

And before our closing Shout Outs this episode, we'll talk Moana 2 and some initial takeaways from our first watch in theaters. Enjoy!

And have a happy Thanksgiving! Don't forget to invite grandma on the walk this year.

Aye!

So Kendrick's album just dropped.

We figured we'd get into it.

It had us hyped.

Let's talk about it.

Also, Sef went to therapy, and Marcus thought he was Captain America.

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Movie Boys are pulling double duty this week as Sefa had to get to work early.

Lance worked two 20-hour shifts back-to-back, and his job is lucky the holidays are upon us.

Marcus is excited over Kendrick Lamar's surprise album GNX and can't wait to listen.

The Movie Boys are exercising patience as the release of Moana 2 draws near. It's time to start singing Samoan songs.

Speaking of movies starring Uncle Dwayne, Red One has dropped to little fanfare other than exaggerated-ass Twitter reviews that swear it's the greatest Christmas movie ever.

The problem is that the returns for this movie on its 250 million dollar budget have not been great.

Also, what are your Top 5 Thanksgiving sides?

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network Boys are all in the building.

Marcus is updating his resume with skills he picked up while on his podcast journey.

Lance had to take a moment and raked leaves on a yard that wasn't his.

Sefa has had people reaching out to him over his recent posts on mental health and seeking help.

The Network Boys then chime in on New Zealand's Parliament and a controversial new proposed bill that would reexamine parts of The Treaty of Waitangi.

When asked about her stance, MP Hanna-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke made hers clear when she started a Haka that reverberated through the House and the internet.

It gave us chills.

Also, would you snitch if you knew the girl you like's boyfriend was cheating on her?
