You know we get excited about Asian representation in media here at the InfatuAsian Podcast.  Anytime we see Asian Americans in Movies, books, or on television we get a little hyped.  But, perhaps one of the best examples of Asian representation in media isn't from America but comes from New Zealand.  Four Kiwi Chinese Women of the production company called Flat3 have been uploading short web series episodes to YouTube for almost 10 years.  , They're mostly silly, outrageously funny skits depicting life as young Asian women living in Aukland.  But, in 2021 they produced an apocalyptic dark comedy on network television, called Creamerie.  Creamerie went on to win the best television drama award in New Zealand and got picked up by Hulu and is now streaming worldwide on their platform.  We had the immense privilege of chatting with two of the creators who produced and starred in the show, Perlina Lau and JJ Fong. Hope you enjoy listening to our chat it was a really fun time! Watch Creamerie on Hulu!  Or on SBS Australia or TVNZ On Demand if you're in that part of the world. You can watch their web series by searching FLAT3 Productions on YouTube.  Follow Perlina @perlinalau or JJ @the.jjfong on Instagram.  Please write to us at: infatuasianpodcast@gmail.com, and please follow us on Instagram and Facebook @theinfatuasianpodcast  Please follow us wherever you get your podcasts.  We could use your ratings and reviews over at Apple Podcasts and ratings on Spotify!

An Oscars unlike any before will get underway today, with history on the line in major categories and a telecast retooled for the Covid-19 pandemic.Here's everything you need to know about this year's ceremony.When to watchThe 93rd Academy Awards will begin at 12pm NZ time today. Live red carpet coverage will begin from 10.30am.Where to watchThanks to the Mondayised public holiday, you get to watch the Oscars live from your sofa. TVNZ 2 will begin broadcasting the red carpet live from 10.30am and the ceremony from 12pm. You can also watch it via TVNZ On Demand.How it will all unfoldThere will be no host, no audience, nor face masks for nominees attending the ceremony at Los Angeles' Union Station — this year's hub for a show usually broadcast from the Dolby Theatre.In contrast with the largely virtual Golden Globes, Zoom boxes have been closed out — though numerous international hubs and satellite feeds will connect nominees unable to travel.There will once again be a live audience but only 170 attendees will be permitted inside the station at any one time, and they will be rotated in and out during commercial breaks.Show producers are hoping to return some of the traditional glamour to the Oscars, even in a pandemic year. The red carpet is back, though not the throngs; only a handful of media outlets will be allowed on site.There will be no sweatpants allowed and actors will have to be out in their best frocks. "Formal is totally cool if you want to go there, but casual is really not," organisers said in a leaked email.The pre-show will include pre-taped performances of the five Oscar-nominated songs.The ceremony will look 'more like a movie'Pulling the musical interludes (though not the in memoriam segment) from the three-hour broadcast — and drastically cutting down the time it will take winners to reach the podium — will free up a lot of time in the ceremony. And producers, led by filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, are promising a reinvented telecast.The Oscars will look more like a movie, Soderbergh has said. The show will be shot in 24 frames-per-second (as opposed to 30), appear more widescreen and the presenters — including Brad Pitt, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Harrison Ford, Rita Moreno and Zendaya — are considered "cast members".The telecast's first 90 seconds, Soderbergh has claimed, will "announce our intention immediately".But even a great show may not be enough to save the Oscars from an expected ratings slide. Award show ratings have cratered during the pandemic, and this year's nominees — many of them smaller, lower-budget dramas — won't come close to the drawing power of past Oscar heavyweights like Titanic or Black Panther.Last year's Oscars, when Bong Joon Ho's Parasite became the first non-English language film to win best picture, was watched by 23.6 million, an all-time low.This combination photo shows poster art for best picture Oscar nominees, top row from left, "The Father," "Judas and the Black Messiah," "Mank," "Minari," bottom row from left, "Nomadland," "Promising Young Woman," Sound of Metal," and The Trial of the Chicago 7." Photo / APSmall screen movies make it big in pandemic timeNetflix dominated this year with 36 nominations, including the lead-nominee Mank, David Fincher's black-and-white drama about Citizen Kane co-writer Herman J Mankiewicz. The streaming service is still pursuing its first best-picture win; this year, its best shot may be Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7.But the night's top prize, best picture, is widely expected to go to Chloé Zhao's Nomadland, a contemplative character study about an itinerant woman (Frances McDormand) in the American West. Should it be victorious, it will be one of the lowest budget best-picture winners ever. Zhao's film, populated by non-professional actors, was made for less than $5 million. (Her next film, Marvel's Eternals, has a budget of at least $200m.)Zhao is also the frontrunner for best director, a categ...

Today Emma has a look It's A Sin on TVNZ and Eggplant on TVNZ On Demand. She also talks about some "classics" from the 90s/2000s she's been watching with her children.

The first series of improv comedy series Educators on TVNZ on Demand was a smash hit for its creators Jonny Brugh, Jackie Van Beek and director Jesse Griffin. So it's hardly surprising the team got a second series, which has just dropped this week. Jonny Brugh plays Principal Jarred Needham - well-meaning, chaotic, but with his heart in the right place. The opposite of the character of Deacon, his suave vampire in What we do in the shadows, in other words. Lynn Freeman asks Jonny how do you totally improvise a TV sitcom, what limits do you set yourself and your collaborators? And why did they choose a school setting for the series?. The second series of Educators is currently playing on TVNZ On Demand.

Guy joins Karyn to talk about what he's been watching: The Luminaries TV1 and TVNZ On Demand, and LA 92 and Rick and Morty on Netflix.
