“Thank you for not making us poor – or Samoan.”On this brand new episode of Exploding Sleigh we take a look at a festive-themed entry in the combustible snow sled genre, SANTA'S SLAY (2005).In this twisted holiday tale, Santa is the not the portly present giver we're all familiar with, but a demonic entity out on a murderous killing spree. But does this horror comedy deliver top quality laughs and the chills, and – more importantly – does it give us the sleigh combustion thrills we want? Episode 166.

I was joined by content creator Chris Setu to deep dive Samoan rugby. One of the sport's most beloved nations, Samoa has given the game icons and iconic moments. What's more, they have the best record against Six Nations and Rugby Championship sides of any T2 nation. However, the last 12 months have been painful for the Samoans. They barely scraped through to World Cup 2027 with a draw against Belgium after embarrassing losses to USA and Chile. Despite the quality of player available to them, they are underperforming badly. Chris and I discuss their performance and the possible reasons for it from selection to the alleged corruption. We then go on to contrast Manu Samoa with the rise of the rugby league team and discuss the roll of social media in the modern game. --- Get 15% Ellis Rugby stash with my code “HG15” - #ad Doddie Jersey: https://ellisrugby.com/product/doddie-weir-lions-shirt/ Jonah Jersey: https://ellisrugby.com/product/jonah-lomu-1995-rugby-shirt/ --- Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580910041103 Samoan Rugby Is A Problem… Inside Samoa's Rugby Survival… Inside Samoa's Rugby Survival… The Pain And Pride Of Samoa...

From floods in Pakistan to droughts in the Horn of Africa, extreme weather events are already forcing millions of people to move. Most are displaced within their own countries but rising temperatures and sea levels could soon push many across national borders.Yet international law offers little protection for those uprooted by the changing climate, and few countries appear ready for the scale of movement predicted in coming decades.Charmaine Cozier explores how communities, governments and international systems could respond as the number of people displaced by climate change grows.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking: Is the world ready for more climate migration?Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Matt Toulson Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Production Management Assistant: Liam MorreyContributors:Amali Tower, founder and executive director of Climate RefugeesDr Lagipoiva Cherelle Jackson, Samoan climate journalist and professor of Pacific Island Studies at Portland State University, USAlessio Terzi, professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge, UKGaia Vince, writer, Anthropocene researcher and the author of Nomad Century: How to Survive the Climate Upheaval(Photo: Kuakata Sea Beach Patuakhali District, Bangladesh.

A Kiwi is at the helm of the latest movie in an iconic franchise. The first Predator film was released in 1987, and four films —and two Alien vs Predator films— and 38 years later, Kiwi-born Dimitrius Koloamatangi holds a starring role in ‘Predator: Badlands'. Auditioning for the role of Dek was a bit of a funny process, Koloamatangi revealed to Mike Hosking. “My character is obviously an alien, so he doesn't really speak English,” “So I had to do a take in just like, a made-up language.” While the audition process had Koloamatangi integrating elements of Samoan and Tongan into his own language, for the actual film, he had to learn something entirely new. “When I jumped on, I had thought I could just freestyle and do my own thing, which I was like, ‘oh this is gonna be fantastic, no lines.'” “But then they were like, oh we're gonna set you up with the Zoom call with this guy named Britton who constructed the whole language,” Koloamatangi told Hosking. “I was like, bro, I have to learn a whole made up language? Like, I struggle Samoan somewhat fluently, now I have to learn this? But it was fun.” The Predator franchise is iconic, boasting a massive fanbase, including Koloamatangi's father. “My dad's a massive fan of the first one – we used to watch that one a lot growing up,” he said. “It's pretty surreal to be honest,” “The franchise has such a massive fan base, like you said, spans like 20 years, you know, and, yeah, it's kind of crazy to think that I'm now a part of it.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
