Oscar's fake fob accent was so cringe. Absolutely agree that Tofiga should have been casted for the role. Taika has his head up the Hollywood hole, it's not surprising the negative spin. Thanks for covering this.

Yeah like the rock

I thought I was the only one who didn't like the movie. The original documentary was awesome. I couldn't get past everybody with a NZ accent.

I'm so glad I subed to you usos.... I appreciate u's pacific take on issues... much love from a PNG brother

As a Tongan I’m proud af seeing Tama Tonga in WWE but it made me think about the Samoan dynasty and legacy that goes hand in hand with wrestling. Shout out to the Usos for being at the forefront of Polynesian excellence! Would love to see an episode talking about that.

Can you guys do a segment on the recent riots in New Caledonia and France’s ‘territories’ in the pacific?

On the bright side, there is an opportunity to create our own take of the movie. Yeah the movie was siko

The 2012 documentary is way better than the unnecessary woke BS movie. I hear Eliota when he says there seems to be an agenda.

First of all what exactly makes that movie "woke"? And can you please tell me the true definition of "woke" please? Matter of fact i can tell by your comment that you dont know what woke actually means and you use that word because your a Meer sheep who let's his fingers go without full knowledge on the comments he types!!!! Please bolo go and educate yourself on that word because the way you used and probably use in your daily life is the version that has been misconstrued by right wing political media to flip a once positive meaning in to a demeaning one!!! 👊🏿👊🏿

So obvious with the agenda.

Eliota you're a crack up! But I get ur point I think we need to boycott American/Jewish business, All fast foods branded clothes shoes etc !and start supporting each other instead of getting caught doin this shit

The undertones of movies are not to be underestimated.

We need some time stamps uzo 🔥

Thank you enjoying the Poddy and the topics. Malo lava boys

It’s too much of a slippery slope if we make excuses for a brother stealing. Isn’t that accepting mediocrity? Next minute we’re marching in the streets defending wrong doing too. Glad he was called out by one of us. But help him up too (if he wants it). As for that movie, so agree. Agenda driven 100% that’s just from the shorts. I was wondering about the lack of our own people commenting on posts about the movie. It was crickets. And now hearing about the anti Christian message, nail in the coffin. Glad Tofiga wasn’t in it. Thanks guys for the heads up. Loved Cool Runnings. It’s The Orator in top tier Samoan films for me.

Man mean podcast just came across this ... malo Danny and the boys really enjoyed the talanoa, haven't seen the movie but kind got that same feeling about it lol

@@dannyaumua106 still full of stereotypes and demeaning Jamaicans. Like, Sanka, is a full on mock of Jamaicans. But if you only looked at it that way then you would see the rest of the story. Same as next goal wins. Does Taika mock Christianity? Yes. Is it a comedy, yes. Does it also show the coach have his own coming to Jesus/spirituality moment when he attends church? When he’s atop the mountain and observes lotu? Does it reinforce stereotypes of the team being no good? Yes. Did that happen in real life? Yes. Did the team turn it around? Yes. Did the coach also speak on behalf of the team and the people of the island as hard workers and making sacrifices? Yes that happens too. But ya don’t see it if you’re caught up in your feels about the other stuff. I think this “criticism” is more cynicism

@@matthewviliamu2679 No it's critical thinking.I merited Taika on his work, just not this one - because it wasn't even decent comedy. It was a shambles from the start... Why is there a Maori, playing a Samoan, doing a loku with a Kiwi accent in the first place? ...Like yeah take your liberties with comedy but at least perform it well. This wasn't the case.

This is a comedy movie uso’s, it’s not supposed to be taken seriously. Comedy is jokes, exaggeration, inaccuracies, taking the piss out of subjects, people, stories, it’s a classic Taika flavour comedy, have you seen Jojo Rabbit they are taking the piss out of Hitler and WW2 (And that’s a touchy subject) but it’s humorous. So if you’re going to take it seriously and think it should have been a certain way, you’re watching the wrong genre. You guys talk about Brotown and say it made us look bad, guys it’s comedy. If you’ve seen the Dave Chappell show he takes the piss out of the whole black culture, it was comedy gold. I’m a proud Samoan but I know a comedy is not going to be an accurate representation of my culture. It’s just Comedy that’s it.

Yeah I watched it as a comedy movie not a true story. And with comedy there is going to be things that offend and mock. At the end the coach talks up the work ethic of the players, working double jobs, he attends church at the end has a spiritual moment. Think these guys have taken their own prejudices way too far in their critique

Thought next goal wins was all goods. This analysis sounded more cynical than critical. Sports movies often change some of the historical facts. That pretty normal If you didn’t hear the coach talk up the ethic, values and hard work then you were just being cynical.

Bruh. Why is the uso sitting by himself so angry. Damn, the uce seems to have a lot of aggression. 😂

Im with Eliota on that one... the guys stealing from Countdown aint nothing compared to the daylight robbery those large corps are driving up the costs of goods, monopolizing the supermarket prices. It only sucks coz our pride doesnt want them to be Samoan, but whoever walks out with goods without paying at those supermarkets, im not gana bat an eye, good for them.

If it was a popular movie samoa would've bootlegged already and it would've been all over the Islands

So we’re just out here making excuses for this behaviour? Whether it’s a corporation or not is far from the point.

Our parents/grandparents moved here for us to have better lives, our choices define us not anything else, anything else is an excuse end of story. We all have a story but our actions dictate our outcome in both this life and the next.
