In episode 11, Johnny talks to skateboarding library archivist and fellow Auckland cinephile Jacob Powell.
When he’s not archiving materials at the University of Auckland Library, or skateboarding around Auckland’s skate parks, Jacob can be found watching and writing about movies. In fact, Jacob was an OG user of Letterboxd from day one - and his interview on that journey can be found in the article Turning Ten: A Decade On Letterboxd. 
This conversation was recorded face to face in mid-March of 2023.
We talk about the films of Kelly Reichardt, Andrei Tarkovsky and Shane Meadows, and we get visited by the ghost of Mercedes McCambridge.
Many thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant music (check out James' brilliant Loco Looper game), and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.
