Gracie Lin is Regional CEO for Singapore and Australia and Head of VIP Growth at OKX. She spent the first decade of her career at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, covering banking supervision before moving into markets, then held roles at sovereign wealth fund GIC and at Southeast Asian super app Grab, where she led regional strategy and economics. She joined OKX in 2024 to run its Singapore business as it received its Major Payment Institution license from MAS, and has since taken on Australia and a global remit for the exchange's VIP clients. Why you should listen It is unusual to hear a crypto executive defend regulators without reluctance, and Lin does it from experience. Having sat on the other side of the table, she frames regulation as a set of hard trade-offs rather than an obstacle: supervisors want innovation but must also protect consumers, protect the financial system, keep a level playing field, and watch what every other jurisdiction is doing. Her argument is that the consequences of a regulator getting risk wrong are far larger than those facing any single company, which is why she thinks industry has to engage constantly and constructively. It is also the thread running through her hot take, that a regulated future is a source of growth rather than a constraint, because adoption depends on trust. On the ground, she is candid about the commercial cost. Singapore's strict marketing rules make it harder to reach a broad consumer base and slower to bring products to market, but because every licensed player faces the same restrictions, OKX has built accordingly, and she says the business has grown meaningfully since licensing, anchored by accredited and sophisticated investors. Australia, where OKX launched in 2024 with a derivatives license, is now moving through the country's new Digital Assets Framework, and Lin says the exchange is seeking the additional authorizations needed to offer a fuller product range. She also explains the less visible half of her job: harmonizing how OKX defines and serves VIP clients globally, and why sophisticated traders, whatever their size, end up asking for the same things, from collateral management across positions to separating trading risk from custody risk. The wider picture is a shift in what crypto-native users want to hold. Lin says OKX is seeing interest move toward tokenized real-world assets, including equity derivatives and pre-IPO exposure to AI companies, products the exchange now offers in several markets though not yet in Singapore or Australia. She discusses the strategic partnership with Intercontinental Exchange, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, and what each side brings. For an example of the future already arriving, she points to the OKX Card, which lets Singapore users spend stablecoins anywhere Visa is accepted while the merchant is simply paid in local currency. For New Zealand listeners, she confirms OKX is watching the market closely. And her science fiction pick, Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun, arrives with a local connection: Taika Waititi's adaptation, shot in Wānaka and Auckland, is due in cinemas next month.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Taika Waititi, director of Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Zoom in for a cracking chat with Chris Hewitt about that movie's tenth anniversary re-release, his feelings about the loss of the great Sam Neill, the status of his What We Do In The Shadows sequel, New Zealand PSAs, and more. Either side of that, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and John Nugent to answer a listener question about the implications of Spider-Man: Brand New Day's record-breaking box office; discuss the week's movie news, including the Violent Night 2 trailer, Mummy 4 casting and the potential of Samara Weaving in the MCU; and review The Last House, Love Me Tender, and Nimrods: A Green Day Comedy.

In this week's episode, we celebrate the illustrious career of the late, great Sam Neill. Co-hosts Nicholas Ybarra and Bella Efstratis explore some of the recurring character traits that Neill tackled in his work and gush over three of his most outstanding performances. - We start with the dense, brilliant, and terrifying horror film by one of the masters of the genre, John Carpenter. Sam Neill stars in In the Mouth of Madness. - Second, we dive deeper into the horror genre. This time, we blend it with science fiction in the wildly underrated and pulse-pounding film Event Horizon.- Finally, Sam Neill explores his softer side in the tender and hilarious Taika Waititi film Hunt For The Wilderpeople. Let us know what you think of these films and what your favorite Sam Neill performance is. ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can  keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

The countdown reaches the film that rescued Thor. Adam makes the case that Thor: Ragnarok is a joyous, gorgeous reinvention, Taika Waititi handed a failing franchise and remaking it in his own voice, and also the film whose relentless comedy comes at a real cost. Why Hela is one of Marvel's most wasted great villains, how the movie laughs its way past Asgard's destruction and Odin's death, and why the tonal lesson it taught Marvel curdled completely by Love and Thunder.

Actor Thomasin McKenzie first grabbed our attention in the 2018 film 'Leave No Trace' before hitting the big time with Taika Waititi's 'Jojo Rabbit'. Since then she's starred in a long list of critically acclaimed films and TV shows .. next on the agenda, Thomasin will portray Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn in the highly anticipated movie 'Dinner With Audrey'. She chats to Jesse.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing NEXT GOAL WINS (2023), a biographical sports comedy from director, Taika Waititi, with writing credits to Taika Waititi and Iain Morris.  A hot-headed, down-on-his-luck football coach named Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender) is sent to American Samoa to lead their national team, widely considered one of the worst squads in the world. Facing the daunting task of turning the inexperienced, disorganized group into a competitive team capable of winning a single game, Rongen is forced to shift his focus from professional ego to understanding the unique cultural spirit of his players. Through this journey, he discovers that the team's true victory lies not in the scoreboard, but in the profound personal transformation and newfound joy they find through playing the sport together.  The film clocks in at 1 h 44 m, is rated PG-13 and currently streaming on Tubi and to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#NextGoalWins #TaikaWaititi #IainMorris #MichaelFassbender #ThomasRongen #OscarKightley #Tavita #Kaimana #Jaiyah #DavidFane #Ace #RachelHouse #Ruth #BeulahKoale #Daru #UliLatukefu #NickySalapu #SemuFilipo #Rambo #ChrisAlosio #Jonah #LehiMakisiFalepapalangi #Pisa #IoaneGoodhue #Smiley #HioPelesasa #Samson #Football #Soccer #Comedy #Sport  @Tubi  @PrimeVideo  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

A talking raccoon and a sentient tree?! When Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' hit theatres in 2014, it faced doubts from all angles, from Kree and Xandarians alike. However, James Gunn's injection of humour, colour and the right amount of irreverence quickly made the film an instant fan-favourite. 12 years later, it's made it to Number 7 on our MCU 12 list. Some are saying that's really the most important part of its legacy.

Clint, Meg, and Dan react to New Zealand’s first football World Cup loss since 1982 (blowing a 1–0 lead to lose 3–1) and look ahead to the next match.

They discuss UK politics and a game comparing world leaders’ time in power, then run movie trailer updates for Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats and Taika Waititi’s Clara. The show plugs a Warehouse $2,000 trolley grab, chats Love Actually vs Jackass, and gets “naughty” about Clint’s wife smelling his farts after nasal surgery.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. This week with Toy Story 5 coming out on June 19th, we are going back to look at all of the previous movies in this great franchise. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Lightyear” from 2022 starring Chris Evans, Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, Taika Waititi & James Brolin.

For nearly four decades, the Ojai Film Society has been bringing people together through the shared experience of watching great films outdoors, in community, and for free.In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, Bret sits down with Ojai Film Society board members David Lawrence Bell and Natalia Iyudin to discuss the organization's upcoming Summer Series at Libbey Bowl, which begins July 2 with Taika Waititi's beloved adventure-comedy Hunt for the Wilderpeople and concludes August 27 with Steven Spielberg's blockbuster classic Jurassic Park. Along the way, audiences can enjoy documentaries, mockumentaries, science fiction, and special appearances by filmmakers including Selena y Los Dinos director Isabel Castro and Cookie Queens director Alysa Nahmias. The conversation explores the art of film programming, the challenge of building community in the streaming age, memorable movie-going experiences, and why gathering under the stars at Libbey Bowl remains one of Ojai's most cherished summer traditions.

Cate Blanchett Month takes a cosmic, neon-drenched turn this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to witness Cate Blanchett at her most delightfully wicked: Taika Waititi's 2017 technicolor blast, Thor: Ragnarok. It's time to pour yourself a drink that's as bold and dangerous as our guest of honor - Lemar's Hella Fire, perhaps - as we head to Asgard to meet the sister Thor and Loki never knew they had.This week, we celebrate Cate's turn as Hela, the Goddess of Death, and how she managed to create one of the most charismatic and genuinely threatening villains in the entire MCU. We examine her incredible physical presence - from the effortless way she catches Mjolnir to the iconic antlered headgear - and talk through how much fun she clearly had playing a character who is unapologetically powerful and bored by everyone else's rules. We also highlight the film's shift toward improvisational comedy, the vibrant "Jack Kirby" visual style, and why Hela stands out as a masterclass in how to bring gravitas and theatrical flair to a superhero blockbuster. And why we want more of her!If you love a villain who steals every scene they're in, or if you just want to hear us gush about Cate's ability to command an entire army with just a flick of her wrist, this is the episode for you. We're blending our adoration for her range with our usual casual banter, making this a high-voltage highlight of our actress Month journey.

This Aang movie leak is straight-up chaos -- the full Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender animated feature from Avatar Studios got "accidentally" emailed to some random X user who then dumped clips online showing adult Aang and the Gaang with brand-new voice actors, fresh animation that actually looks killer, and plot teases including Dave Bautista and Taika Waititi cameos, all months before the October Paramount+ premiere. Yeah Nickelodeon or Paramount's security is apparently Swiss cheese because now the near-finished draft is everywhere online while fans are mainlining spoilers and the studio's scrambling to play whack-a-mole -- nothing like finally getting the Avatar sequel only for it to get pirated before the trailer even drops.

Marvel rumors are swirling again

When Kathleen Kennedy left her position as president of Lucasfilm last week, she left behind a ton of Star Wars projects in various states of production.
