Ian Carson, Editor of Otaki Today.
James discusses rescues at Te Aroroa during the recent flooding, a Swiss marathon runner's success after being stranded at the Waioweka Campground by slips and the 8 year old who was joint winner in a $40,000 fishing prize.
The new MOTU trailer shares He-Man's pronouns, but with action this hot, his preferred verb must be “fuck” — as in “fuck ice, this movie will melt your face harder than Skeletor's.” Plus, McDonald's is bringing back Changeables Happy Meals—and those little bots have us so thirsty, fuck ice, fill that small soft drink up to the brim. And these Dunder Mifflin-approved Fortnite skins are so cold, you'll think “fuck ice” is the new “that's what she said.” It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Tess discusses a health watchdog's criticism of staffing levels at Oamaru Hospital, problematic Gore campground about to close, the Kakapo camera giving remote viewers an opportunity to watch a nest on Whenua Hou/Codfish Island and a woman who was the model for a Peter Pan themed sculpture returns 60 years later.
Hey kids! We are back for the yearly tradition of taking a look at the best (IMHO) movies of the year Two Oh Two Five. There were some really good ones honestly. I had a great time at the cinema! Aside from that we open a MOTU, go to The Dig and have all kinds of fun in between. Make sure to tell a friend!
Skeletor is lurking, the metals are screaming, and the earnings gauntlet has begun! In episode 1439 of The Option Block, Mark Longo and the All-Star panel—including "Uncle" Mike Tosaw and Andrew "The Rock Lobster" Giovinazzi—take a trip back to the 1980s. With the massive trailer launch for the new Masters of the Universe film, the team kicks things off with some MOTU trivia before breaking down a market that is getting "weird, wild, and funk-delicious." On the Docket: The Trading Block: A look at the "insane" run in Gold ($5k/oz!) and Silver ($100+/oz). Is it a meme, or is inflation finally catching up? Plus, a preview of the "Big Tech" earnings week featuring Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla. The Odd Block: Unusual activity in Papa John's (PZZA) puts, a massive upside play in Aero Copper Corp (ERO), and the "Trump Bump" fade in newcomer USA Rare Earth (USAR). The Strategy Block: Uncle Mike discusses the vital importance of choosing the right benchmarks (BXY, CLL, AGG) to measure your options performance accurately. Around the Block: The team debates whether the "Zero Day" index options will cannibalize the market and what to expect from the looming Apple and Tesla earnings prints. Key Market Levels & Tickers Mentioned: Indices: SPY, IWM, VIX (hovering at 16), VVIX (100) Equities: NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, INTC, MSFT, MAT, USAR Metals: GLD, SLV (up 12% in a single day)
Two local women lost in the Mt Maunganui landslide, the release of a man convicted of snatching a toddler, local irritation over uncared-for roadside gardens and the worrying items confiscated at Rotorua and Tauranga courts.
As if on cue, several mainstream media outlets decided to write articles about "all the right-wingers" who are furious about He-Man's pronouns in the Masters of the Universe trailer. At the EXACT SAME TIME. But a lot of people got it was (probably) just a joke, and many more didn't care because MOTU is pretty dead with the general public. So what's going on here? Do they WANT to stir up unnecessary 'Culture War' drama for clicks and ad revenue? Isn't that... grifting?Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

A super fun one! Like, Scoob, my laugh muscles hurt after! Sam, Dylan & me for this one & I didn't get on Dylan's case really even too much in this one! yay! Please to enjoy ;)
Do you think these toy companies are changing for the good or for the worse? They seem to be dialing into the fandom, but at the same time, pricing many of us out of our casual lines. We'll have to see the price of these new Joe / TMNT crossovers, but they have definitely sparked collector interest. Transformers is attacking on every front, but those prices. The most exciting Star Wars news is from LEGO, but again, man, the prices. Finally, the best things from MOTU are 3rd party homages at a relatively reasonable price.
We got a new villain! We got Dylan! We got Werner Herzog! We're not sure that's how you spell Herzog but we're not feeling like looking it up! Please to enjoy ;)

It seems like we blinked, and our hobby is so much more expensive than it was five years ago. We have long railed against the TVC markups, but for two primary focuses of mine to be revealed and so easily join the JOMO list is inconceivable. How about a once mainline MOTU figure being made into not only an exclusive, but a deluxe, with a final cost of getting it into your hand more than double since 2020? The exact thing is happening at Hasbro with their new Combaticon Swindle; it's not even an exclusive. Classified hasn't been immune either. With mainline going from $20 to $28, who knows what a Deep Six with or without SHARK could cost, let alone another Zartan with Swamp Skier.

As an early Christmas treat, we're going WAAAAY out of order in the MOTU timeline to bring everyone some extra holiday spirit (peace, goodwill towards men, buying toys from Mattel)! Please to enjoy! ;)

Kevin Smith is still upset about the fan reception to Masters of the Universe: Revelation in 2025... four years after the fans rejected the series that sidelined He-Man in favor of Teela. On a recent podcast appearance he had he had precious few good memories about the series. I'm sure he that's our fault somehow.If it makes you feel any better, Kevin, the drama completely killed any interest we had in the MOTU franchise.

Expect a kinder, gentler... more FEMININE... He-Man in the upcoming live-action movie. Maybe. The star of the movie just said that his reimagined take on He-Man is like "a handshake between masculinity and femininity."So now we really have to wonder how good this movie will be, and whether or not He-Man will be, uh, manly.
