Hi All, This episode a short one, because I figure most of you will be well on your way to New Year's plans. I recorded this version of a talk I gave in November for a Brooklyn School fundraiser which is called Appetites.  It was a fun night, Brannavan Gnanalingam, Emmily Writes, Jo Randerson and I shared a lift to the event which was really nice. Brannavan, Emily and Jo's talks were awesome. Brooklyn School is on Te Atiawa, Taranaki Whānui and Ngati Toa Rangatira land. The topic of my talk was how much a love reality TV. Thanks for listening Pip

This school opened in 2010 to introduce young students to STEAM which is an acronym for science tech engineering, arts and math.

Axl Foley. Prince Akeem. Donkey. Let’s cut to the chase: Eddie Murphy is a comedy icon. His popularity as a stand up made red leather suits fashionable, his films grossed a combined six billion dollars at the box office, and his laugh is one of the most recognizable sounds in Earth. No one’s career is perfect but we’ll save that for the episode. Here at Pluto Blockbuster Nash Film Vampire in Brooklyn School we refuse to highlight a person’s failures in the description. We also lie and lack subtly. Xgvfh0nRvPRWuKK5mVKS
