In the swing seat of Hutt South, a cabinet minister's career is potentially on the line this election. National's Chris Bishop won the seat by just over 13-hundred votes in 2023, having lost it to Labour's Ginny Anderson in 2020. But with National's party vote low - keeping his seat could be key to him remaining in Parliament. So what's the electorate thinking? Mary Argue talked to some locals.

(que nous avions reçu la première fois pour Mutafukaz 1886), qui est également sa toute première bande dessinée en solo, sur le scénario, le dessin et les couleurs.

The government has announced amalgamation talks have paused until after the election. Mayor Laban says the quality of the Wellington headstart proposal submitted by Hutt City, Wellington City, Porirua and South Waiarapa is "outstanding, it's comprehensive". Laban says the region will continue preparing for amalgamation. He believes regardless of a change in government the councils will still amalgamate by 2028, with a potential extension to 2029. Mills asked why other Mayors are complaining about wasted money from the delay, Laban said "you'll have to ask him about that". LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pour cette nouvelle émission de ComicsDiscovery, nous avons eu le plaisir de recevoir Simon Hutt, auteur de bande dessinée aux multiples casquettes. Au fil de la conversation, il revient sur son parcours, son rapport au dessin et les différentes expériences qui l'ont progressivement conduit vers le Label 619. Cette rencontre nous donne surtout l'occasion de découvrir les coulisses d'AMR, sa nouvelle BD de science-fiction publiée chez Rue de Sèvres au Label 619. De la naissance du projet à ses inspirations, en passant par la création des personnages et de son univers, Simon partage avec nous les différentes étapes qui ont donné vie à l'album. Une discussion de passionnés dans un lieu qui l'est tout autantComme Simon est lui aussi montpelliérain, nous avons pu quitter le cadre habituel des interviews à distance pour nous retrouver autour d'une véritable table. Pour accueillir cette rencontre, difficile d'imaginer un endroit plus approprié que la librairie Bunka, située au 21 boulevard Pasteur à Montpellier. Un immense merci à Hélène, qui nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse et nous a permis d'enregistrer cette émission au cœur de sa librairie. Passer chez Bunka reste toujours un plaisir et, pour nous, c'est tout simplement la meilleure librairie spécialisée dans le manga que nous connaissions. Si vous habitez Montpellier ou passez dans le coin, on ne peut que vous conseiller d'aller la découvrir. Vous pouvez également retrouver toute l'actualité de Bunka sur son site et sur Instagram : https://www.librairiebunka.fr/https://www.instagram.com/la_librairie_bunka/ Et le moment tombe particulièrement bien puisque Bunka fête actuellement ses 4 ans avec un concours organisé sur Instagram. Parmi les lots, vous pourrez notamment gagner un exemplaire d'AMR dédicacé par Simon Hutt. Il s'agit de notre propre exemplaire, que nous avons offert à Hélène pour la remercier de son accueil. Une bonne raison supplémentaire d'aller découvrir le concours... et surtout la librairie. De la biologie au Label 619Avant d'arriver à la bande dessinée, Simon a suivi un chemin pour le moins atypique. Pendant l'interview, il nous raconte notamment ses études de biologie jusqu'à un master en virologie, tout en conservant le dessin comme une passion constante. Peu à peu, il se tourne vers les métiers de l'image et multiplie les expériences dans des domaines aussi différents que l'animation, le jeu vidéo, le concept art, la direction artistique et la BD. Son passage chez Ankama sur Wakfu joue notamment un rôle important dans cette évolution. Il y rencontre Run, avec qui il commence ensuite à collaborer. De projet en projet, cette relation lui ouvre les portes du Label 619 et lui permet de faire dialoguer toutes les disciplines qu'il pratique. Simon revient avec beaucoup de simplicité sur ce parcours et sur les rencontres qui ont façonné sa manière de créer. AMR : une première BD en soloCette évolution mène naturellement à AMR. Après avoir travaillé aux côtés de Run sur Mutafukaz 1886, dont Run signait le scénario tandis que Simon assurait notamment le dessin, les couleurs et le storyboard, l'auteur franchit une nouvelle étape avec son premier album entièrement personnel. Cette fois, il imagine lui-même l'histoire, les personnages et tout l'univers qui les entoure. Dans AMR, nous suivons Amer, un jeune « fixeur » qui répare machines et robots dans l'atelier de son oncle. Son quotidien vole en éclats lorsqu'un étrange artefact se retrouve coincé sur sa tête et attire sur lui l'attention du gouvernement galactique. Avec Dario et Servo, un robot sauvé de la casse, il se retrouve alors embarqué dans une aventure qui traverse un univers de science-fiction volontairement usé, poussiéreux et très éloigné des grandes cités futuristes étincelantes. Au cours de l'émission, Simon nous explique comment il a construit cet univers, imaginé ses personnages et développé une identité visuelle qui lui appartient pleinement. Il revient également sur ce que représente pour lui ce premier album en solo et sur la liberté créative qu'un tel projet lui a offerte. Une rencontre passionnante autour d'AMRAu-delà de toutes ces anecdotes sur la création de l'album, nous avons surtout passé un excellent moment avec Simon. Sa passion pour la BD, la création, le jeu vidéo et la science-fiction nourrit naturellement la conversation, et on espère que cette ambiance détendue et enthousiaste s'entendra tout autant à l'écoute de l'émission. Encore un grand merci à Hélène de la librairie Bunka d'avoir rendu cette rencontre possible. De notre côté, on ne peut évidemment que vous conseiller de découvrir AMR et son univers de science-fiction généreux, vivant et rempli d'idées. Enfin, si vous souhaitez suivre le travail de Simon au-delà de la BD, retrouvez-le sur Instagram et sur sa chaîne Twitch. Il a d'ailleurs créé une partie d'AMR en direct sur Twitch, donnant ainsi à sa communauté l'occasion d'assister à plusieurs étapes de fabrication de l'album. Envie d'aller plus loin ?Si, comme nous, vous êtes des Label619Zouzes (terme approuvé par Run, je le rappelle !), on vous conseille de prolonger l'aventure avec ces épisodes de nos podcasts consacrés à d'autres titres du Label 619 : Silent Jenny de Mathieu Bablet | ComicsDiscovery S10E05 Shin Zero de Guillaume Singelin et Mathieu Bablet | ComicsDiscovery S09E18 Frontier de Guillaume Singelin | BdDiscovery S01E01Trois albums aux univers très différents qui illustrent parfaitement la richesse et la diversité des œuvres réunies sous la bannière du Label 619.Suivez ComicsDiscovery sur les réseaux sociaux Instagram : @comicsdiscovery sur Instagram BlueSky : ComicsDiscovery sur BlueSky TikTok : @jamesetfaye sur TikTok Facebook : ComicsDiscovery sur Facebook Écoutez le podcast ComicsDiscovery Spotify : ComicsDiscovery sur Spotify Ausha : ComicsDiscovery sur Ausha Apple Podcasts : ComicsDiscovery sur Apple Podcasts Deezer : ComicsDiscovery sur Deezer Pour soutenir ComicsDiscoverySi vous appréciez notre travail et souhaitez soutenir une équipe passionnée par la bande dessinée, les comics et la pop culture, vous pouvez nous aider via Tipeee.

Pikpok has become one of the great success stories of Wellington. The game developers have hundreds of staff in the city, have expanded to Colombia and craft games played by hundreds of millions all over the world. CEO and co-founder Mario Wynands tells Nick Mills how the company started from "three mates in a flat" working overtime on their passions to an international sensation. Wynands says NZ's gaming industry exports are worth $1 billion NZD. The company started from Wynands and his fellow founders flat, who worked their day jobs from 9am to 6pm then continued past 1am creating their business. "At the end of the day I'm just kind of the shy, nerdy kid who grew up in the Hutt." Wynands shares the hard work to make Pikpok into what it is today, what is ahead for the future and why he chooses to continue the business in Wellington. He describes the changes to the perception of working and living in New Zealand, "we don't have the same magical allure as a country anymore".

We're heading back to Rebel Scum Con III for behind-the-scenes stories from The Mandalorian and Grogu with creature and stunt performers Misty Rosas, Richard Cetrone, and Donald Mills! Misty Rosas reveals how she served as the on-set reference performer for Hugo Durant—and surprises us with the news that she also helped bring Gatori to life. She explains how her physical performance helped establish the characters' movements and eyelines before ILM completed the CG animation. Misty also drops an exciting tease about Hugo's food truck possibly coming to Galaxy's Edge! Next, Richard Cetrone takes us inside his performance as Rotta the Hutt. More than Rotta's stunt performer, Richard embodied the breakout character in all of his scenes. Then Donald Mills shares what it was like stepping into the role of legendary bounty hunter Embo and becoming part of Lucasfilm's close-knit family of performers. As a bonus, Kevin Bradford introduces us to Galaxy Tours, which takes Star Wars fans to the real Tunisian filming locations from A New Hope, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. We're already in the early planning stages of our own Tatooine adventure—and you may be able to join us! All interviews were recorded at Rebel Scum Con III.

Worst Vacation Spots in Star Wars Todd Hoffman and Carla Giacalone/Coffey kick back for a fun, nerdy Cantina Chat about the absolute worst places to spend a vacation in the Star Wars galaxy. It starts with a personal update from Carla on her recent wedding and upcoming Lord of the Rings honeymoon, then shifts into a playful planet-by-planet debate over which worlds are too hot, too wet, too buggy, or too dangerous to ever book. Key topics In this episode: Carla shares wedding highlights, including the Camp Sacagoia venue in New Jersey, R2-D2 at the reception, and walking down the aisle to Princess Leia's theme. Todd and Carla talk about Carla's delayed honeymoon to New Zealand, where she'll take a Lord of the Rings tour through filming locations. The conversation turns to Star Wars vacation planning, with Mustafar and Exegol quickly emerging as top-tier nightmare destinations. Hoth gets compared to extreme winter travel, with discussion of blizzards, emergency Wampa insurance, and the appeal of cold versus heat. Tatooine comes up as the rare planet with enough civilization to survive a trip, despite the sand, the sun, and the constant danger. Dagobah is treated as a hard no for its swamp conditions, bugs, and general "Florida but worse" vibe. Geonosis, Kessel, Felucia, and Exegol are each framed as terrible choices for different reasons, from language barriers to poison mushrooms to Sith cult energy. The hosts compare how bad a long trip would be next to villains like Darth Vader, General Grievous, or Jabba the Hutt. They close the vacation debate by choosing the "least bad" nightmare trip and agreeing that Tatooine is probably the safest bad option. Carla also gives an honorable mention to Wobani from Rogue One as a place nobody would want on a vacation itinerary.

How many times have you seen a Star Wars post claiming a new movie or series is “OFFICIALLY IN DEVELOPMENT”… only to find out it was never officially announced at all? From supposed Obi-Wan movies to Jabba the Hutt projects and everything in between, social media is filled with fake Star Wars “news” that looks official, gets thousands of comments and shares, and convinces fans that these projects are actually happening. Then, when they inevitably don't appear, the blame gets placed on Disney and Lucasfilm for “canceling” something they never announced in the first place. Tonight on Sarlacc Digest, we're taking a closer look at the growing problem of fake Star Wars news, clickbait, AI-generated content, fan concepts presented as official announcements, and the outrage cycle they create. We're not talking about legitimate rumors or fan wish lists. There's nothing wrong with speculation or imagining what could happen in the Star Wars universe. The problem is when “I wish this existed” becomes “THIS IS OFFICIALLY HAPPENING.” We'll also cover the latest Star Wars news, rumors, announcements and developments from around the galaxy. So before you get excited… or angry… about the next “BIG” Star Wars announcement you see on social media: STOP. CHECK. IS IT ACTUALLY REAL? That's what we're here for.

Today we discuss Hutt and Seek, the next short story in Tales from the New Republic. Fenig Nabon and Ghitsa Dogder are a pair of smugglers and con artists. Their latest target, Durga the Hutt. And to pull the con off, they will enlist the help of the Mistryl, but the Mistryl have no idea what's going on. Surely nothing will go wrong.

What does it look like when sales and solutions engineering operate as one unified force? In this episode, Lance Hutt, VP of Global Strategic Applications Sales, and George Olaru, VP of Solution Engineers, at Epicor — one of the world's leading ERP providers for manufacturers and distributors — bring the answers.The conversation covers how Epicor is fundamentally rethinking what an ERP platform can be. George breaks down headless ERP architecture and Epicor's Agent Foundry — a new AI-powered framework that allows companies to build custom agents and consume ERP data through their own preferred interfaces, without sacrificing governance or data security. Lance explores the growing portfolio of strategic applications — from EDI and inventory planning to connected worker software and CPQ — that companies like Anheuser-Busch and Johnson Controls are using to scale operations, many of them as standalone solutions outside of Epicor's ERP ecosystem entirely.Together, they dig into the consultative philosophy that drives Epicor's go-to-market strategy: the MEDDIC sales framework, the Customer Value Exchange Workshop, and why the best question a customer can ask isn't about features, it's about business challenges. For anyone in B2B distribution, manufacturing, or ERP-adjacent tech leadership, this is a practical look at how modern ERP strategy is evolving well beyond the system of record.

One thing I forgot to do as we were pressed for time was to ask all the hosts what their favorite reveal was from the show. I'll keep mine to the four franchises as I usually do, but hopefully we can squeeze that in too on the next show. For Masters, as much as I love build-a-figures and vintage toy artwork homages, it does seem like more of the same. Their Chronicles Clawful is what really caught my eye. All I thought I wanted from Star Wars was a Rotta the Hutt in either Black Series or Vintage Collection. Well, I got both and hate the execution on both. So, even though I won't buy it, my favorite Star Wars thing was the vintage decoed X-Wing. What's funny is my favorite Transformer is something we didn't even talk about. It was hidden in the official pics. Besides the Icons Decepticon symbol Megatron, everything else was pretty lackluster. Even more disappointing was G.I. Joe. I get it, they blow their load with Yo Joe June. Besides some name reveals, we really only got what is looking to be a disappointing Thundermachine.

In a surprise announcement, the long "on-the-shelf" Star Wars animated comedy from George Lucas, Seth Green and company will be screening at the soon-to-open Lucas Museum in LA. We listen to Seth Green's announcement at San Diego Comic Con and discuss what the show is all about. In other SDCC news, Kevin Feige gets us pumped up about next year's Star Wars: Starfighter by revealing he's already seen it, but we are confused by the total lack of publicly available images and coverage. And we share our disappointment with Hasbro for some of their lackluster SDCC announcements and criticize them for sad offerings going back to Solo: A Star Wars Story. Star Wars fans are still talking about The Mandalorian and Grogu and our voicemail inbox has some listener thoughts about Rotta the Hutt. In our "Outrageous Unthinkable Story of the Week", a former Star Wars actor breaks bad on his role in the prequels and we try to determine why he's trash talking. Plus, we return to the RFR Sound Lab, we look forward to this week's Rebel Scum Con, and more!

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not.

Din Djarin & Baby Yoda Return To Rescue Rotta The Hut! We're jumping back into the Star Wars galaxy with bounty hunters, Mandalorians, Hutts, Imperial Remnants, and some BIG Clone Wars connections. This is our first time watching The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026), reacting to the movie's biggest moments, emotional scenes, action sequences, surprises, cameos, and ending while sharing our full spoiler review and discussion. From Din Djarin and Grogu's evolving father-son relationship to Rotta the Hutt, Embo, the New Republic, Mandalore, and all the deep Star Wars lore tying together The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and beyond, there's a lot to unpack… or is it simply just a fun simple film?

This is the Way — but is it the right way to bring the galaxy's most beloved odd couple to the big screen? After three seasons on Disney+, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu trade the small screen for an IMAX-sized adventure, with the stakes raised and the runtime expanded accordingly.Mike White and Chris Stachiw of The Kulturecast discuss Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau from a screenplay by Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Noah Kloor. Set in the aftermath of the Empire's fall, the film finds Din Djarin and his apprentice recruited by the New Republic — represented by Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver) — to take on the remnants of Imperial warlords, with Jeremy Allen White joining the cast as Rotta the Hutt. Mike and Chris break down whether the franchise's leap to theaters was a triumph or a stumble, and what it means for the future of Star Wars.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Seven years between Star Wars films, and the galaxy came back with a tin-can dad, a green gremlin, and a muscled teenage Hutt with an identity crisis. Matthew Fox of Star Wars Generations joins Pete Wright, Justin Jaeger, and Ocean Murff on The Film Board to work through all of it — the parts that soar, the parts that drag, and the twenty minutes in a swamp that made everyone forget they were watching a puppet.The panel is split on the Swole Hutt (Ocean is in, Pete is out), united on Ludwig Göransson's score, and divided on whether this is a movie or just the best three episodes of a Mandalorian season that never got made. Martin Scorsese shows up as an informant and somehow steals the room. Sigourney Weaver shows up as a character and somehow doesn't. The question the table keeps circling: did Star Wars prove it belongs in theaters, or did it prove Ocean right all along?Full show notes and resources: HereThis episode on The Film Board: The Lunchbox Mandalorian • Mandalorian and Grogu**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

In this episode, Katie talks with Marcie Stokman and Colleen Hutt, co-founders of Well-Read Mom, a nationwide book club for women seeking deeper friendships and meaningful conversations through great literature. Marcie and Colleen share how reading good books transformed their own lives, making them a better person, wife, and mother. In a culture increasingly shaped by constant screens and distractions, they argue that literature helps us recover the lost arts of thinking, reading, and speaking well. For many women, finding time to read can feel impossible. Marcie offers a simple answer: read together. Through book clubs and shared conversations, women discover a space to wrestle with the questions that matter most—the joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, and challenges of everyday life. These friendships provide the connection, encouragement, and sense of belonging that every person longs for. Marcie and Colleen also explain the Well-Read Mom four-step process: Read: Let go of the guilt and simply begin. Compare: Connect the themes of the book to your own life. Share: Engage in authentic conversations with others, ideally face-to-face. Accompany: Support one another through life's struggles with compassion and confidentiality. Three Takeaways: Reading fosters friendship, and friendship inspires us to keep reading. Every person has a deep desire to be seen, known, loved, and connected in authentic community. The Well-Read Mom four-step process offers a practical path to deeper relationships and a richer intellectual and spiritual life. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends! Editing provided by Forte Catholic (https://www.fortecatholic.com/)

Thirteen years after The Empire Strikes Back, the long-delayed finale arrived in 1996 — six episodes that brought the original trilogy to a close. Funding cuts had stalled production for more than a decade, but the conclusion was completed at last, with Anthony Daniels returning one final time as C-3PO, joined by Brock Peters as Darth Vader, John Lithgow's Yoda, and Ed Asner as Jabba the Hutt. Still carried by John Williams' score and the original sound effects, it's Return of the Jedi as you've never heard it. | #RRStarWarsLook for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Jason, Rachel and Jesh continue the Thumb War Star Wars rewatch with a spoiler-filled review of The Mandalorian and Grogu. Is it a real Star Wars movie, or does it feel like The Mandalorian Season 4 got squeezed into a theatrical release? We discuss Grogu as a character vs. Grogu as a toy, Pedro Pascal's helmet-based performance, the lack of stakes, the surprisingly strong opening sequence, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Rotta the Hutt, Dave Filoni cameos, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Baby Yoda still has the juice. Ash came in with a more generous take. Jason and Rachel came in with notes. Many, many notes. Spoilers for The Mandalorian and Grogu and the broader Star Wars universe.

The old protect the young, and the young develop poor eating habits. The Mandalorian and Grogu have left Disney+ behind to take orders from sci-fi queen Sigourney Weaver (Alien) in a big-screen 2026 Star Wars movie. But does Pedro Pascal need to go rescue little "Stinky the Hutt" now that he's grown into big, buff Jeremy Allen White (The Bear)? And can director Jon Favreau (Elf) find The Way to balance between adrenalizing fans of the badass bounty hunter and soothing everyone else that's come for adorable Baby Yoda?

Cathy and Todd discuss Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs for Zen Pop's space month, a 1987 Star Wars parody following Lone Starr and his half-man half-dog sidekick Barf as they rescue Princess Vespa from Dark Helmet and the incompetent President Skroob (whose name is literally an anagram of Brooks). The cast includes Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Daphne Zuniga, Joan Rivers, and Dom DeLuise as Pizza the Hutt. They discuss the WTF moments, the lines they quote at home, and the news that a sequel, Spaceballs: The New One, arrives April 23, 2027 with most of the original cast returning.
