You don't get better than the casting of Showtime's Yellowjackets. The series takes place in 1996 and 2021, following what happens when a high school girls soccer team's plane crashes on the way to nationals and they're forced to do whatever it takes to survive out in the wilderness for 19 months. Then, the 2021 material shows how the survivors are coping with what they've done as they try to outrun a tragedy that's seemingly always on the verge of consuming them all over again. In celebration of Yellowjackets' phenomenal Season 1 run on Showtime, Melanie Lynskey joined us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night. Yes, much of the focus was on Yellowjackets, but that's just one of many stellar titles on Lynskey's filmography. In addition to discussing working on Season 1 and some Yellowjackets spoilers, Lynskey revisited working on Heavenly Creatures, collaborating with Steven Soderbergh, how Miranda Harcourt changed the game for her career and so much more!

Feeling thankful for the rain, to be honest.

New Zealand screen industry is cranking into action with work on local productions and locally filmed Hollywood films back underway.Some are predicting a boom for the industry as Hollywood increasingly looks to New Zealand as somewhat of a safe haven for film and television.This is being seen as a positive not only for local businesses but local actors.Kiwi actress and acting coach Miranda Harcourt told Francesca Rudkin this is a good opportunity for local actors to be cast in roles that would normally be filled by international heavyweights."When projects that were going to be shot somewhere else in the world come to New Zealand and Australia, then immediately the doors are open for actors on the ground."She says that the fact New Zealand has beaten Covid-19 is one of the new incentives that could court international productions. Harcout says she expects actors and directors would be willing to quarantine here if it means restarting production. "Everyone wants to get on with and resume the industry."Both Avatar 2 and the Lord of the Rings TV show are expected to resume production in New Zealand over the next few weeks.

This episode explores the relationship between a mother and daughter - Dame Kate Harcourt and Miranda Harcourt and what we learn from our mothers. This inter-generational unit tell Suzy how they've co-parented and changed throughout the years and give their advice on what it takes to be a good mum.

Brenna and Joe travel to the other side of the world for an investigation into Margaret Mahy's 1984 Carnegie Medal winner, The Changeover and its 2017 film adaptation by Miranda Harcourt and Stuart McKenzie. Brenna appreciates the prickly, unconventional mother/daughter relationship, Joe unpacks how the film uses the 2011 earthquake to inform its narrative and, for the first time on the podcast, an ending dramatically alters the pair's appreciation of one of the texts. In homework: Brenna and Joe chat about the impact of Disney's closure of the FOX 2000 studio, which produced Love, Simon, The Hate U Give and other 'mid-tier' prestige films. Joe also introduces The Changeover star Nicholas Galitzine's upcoming Netflix series, Chambers, which also deals with mysterious events (the guy has a type).

Amanda takes Austin and listeners to wurch (witch church) with a breakdown of the subverted fairytale elements and treatment of puberty as witchcraft within Margaret Mahy's *The Changeover: a Supernatural Romance.* She delves into why fourteen-year-old protagonist Laura Chant is a boss and why the love interest, Sorry Carslile, is her trauma son. The episode considers questions like: What is up with the monsterification of teen girls? Why doesn't getting your period come with sweet magical perks? And why do so many movie adaptations fail to understand what makes the source material great? Content Warnings: Mentions of parental neglect and abuse, coping mechanisms brought on by trauma, child sickness, menstruation, and teen girls being sexualized and vilified. Also, this episode does contain minor spoilers for The Changeover book, and more significant spoilers for its movie adaption.
