This week, we're rejoined by Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) from Boontavista to discuss the recent 'Am I The Asshole' post about the couple cancelling the catering at their wedding to afford a visit from Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and to go into depth about the phenomenon of 'posting about your kids' Tune in for Phoebe's opinion on Disney Adults, Hussein somehow keeping the promise 'I'm only going to mention Morbius once this episode', and Andrew being such a good friend that, when asked to bring in good dadposts, brings not one but TWO posts by his friend Theo. Ten Thousand Posts is a show about how everything is posting. It's hosted by Hussein (@HKesvani), Phoebe (@PRHRoy) and produced by the very handsome Devon (@Devon_OnEarth).
Today on Soundtracker I'm joined by Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) of the Boonta Vista podcast (@boontavista) to talk about NEW JACK CITY. In this episode we talk about blaxploitation, Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles, the film's conflicting messaging, the very early-90s fashion, Snipes, get in-depth on the intricate web of New Jack Swing, and as always, talk about the soundtrack.

This week, we're rejoined by Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) from Boontavista to talk about the kooky characters of Australian Twitter. This includes a guy who believes he is solely responsible for trending topics, people who are *really* into voluntary lockdowns because they realise it makes for great content, and some Australian witches, who are somehow just as bizarre as other self-fashioned witches in other commonwealth nations. Plus, we talk about why mundane movie opinions always go viral, and what it is about David Lynch that seemingly makes everyone mad online.
Welcome back to the Ten Thousand Posts *Movie Club*! Get your favourite movie theatre snack (may I suggest some refried beans and a tin of Tilapia?), relax and enjoy. This week, we're joined by Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) from the BoontaVista podcast, to talk about the first Matrix movie. Released in 1999, the film is considered a cinematic masterpiece, not least because many of the predictions and thoughts explored by the Wachowski sisters are not only prescient today (we live in a simulacara, am i right, fellas?), but also show aspects of the kind of internet we could have if it wasn't just a playground for Facebook advertising. I want my posts dojo, Zuckerberg! Alongside this, we talk about our favourite parts of the movie, why the film is really all about a gamer who constantly gets tricked by a troll while simping e-girls, and, crucially, why its *completely fine* to bully a child if they are Australian. -------- You can listen to Part 2 of this series, where we talk about the Matrix Reloaded with @theymersophie, on Patreon!

Damn, it sure looks like Australia had its UK Labour in 2015 moment this past week, in which the centre-left party favoured to win has instead snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Why did the Coalition win? Why does Bill Shorten want to get rid of the weekend? Why does every Australian deserve a go? In this episode, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts) asked Australia expert Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) of the Boonta Vista podcast to explain it to us. We also discuss Theresa May’s resignation and much, much more. If you like this show, sign up to the Patreon and get a second free episode each week!

In a continuation of last week’s episode, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) join guests Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) and Lucy Valentine (@LucyXIV) from Boonta Vista Socialist Club (@BoontaVista) for a roundup of terrible right-wing columnists in the land of our terrible Commonwealth forebears. We absolutely, positively saved the best (worst) for last. You should definitely follow Boonta Vista — we had a great time putting this episode together and appreciate their patience, as we are sloppy boys. You can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from http://www.lilcomrade.com/. You can also purchase useful kitchen implements from our socialist cookware sponsor, Vremi (https://vremi.com/). Nate (@inthesedeserts) produced this under deep cover (and in a state of Sharia compliance) from the no-go zone of Southwark.
For this week’s episode, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) join guests Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) and Lucy Valentine (@LucyXIV) from the extremely good Australian podcast Boonta Vista Socialist Club (@BoontaVista) for a discussion of a topic close to all of our hearts: the worst right-wing columnists in the Anglosphere, their greatest hits, their origin stories, and why ‘white man’ is the worst slur in the English language. This discussion ran a bit long, and so we’ve cut it into a part 1 and 2 — part 2 will publish very soon, maybe next week, who knows (we lack professionalism). Also, Hussein fell asleep during the recording. You can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from http://www.lilcomrade.com/. You can also purchase useful kitchen implements from our socialist cookware sponsor, Vremi (https://vremi.com/). Nate (@inthesedeserts) lives in Britain now and, after reading the Wall Street Journal, expects to be forced to say the Shahada at any moment.
Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest Andrew Law (@IllyBocean) take on Ozploitation with a sleazy, eco-horror double feature of Colin Eggleston's Long Weekend (1978) and Russell Mulcahy's Razorback (1984). Apologies for the slight buzz, that'll be fixed for next time.
