i couldn't agree more with the part about how normalized it is on the show to be queer!! it's so refreshing to see no homophobia, no "it's okay to be gay" moment, and it means a lot.

Really liked the discussion of Taika and Rhys trusting each other. You can really see that kind of support through their roles and the balance of comedy/drama and how well it translates to screen. The care that went into this show as a whole is just *chef's kiss*.

honestly I really appreciate Matt’s questions. He doesn’t beat around the bush, he often refers back to Taika’s answers as well as scenes from the show itself so the conversation stays on track. He even steers the conversation towards Taika’s influence as an Indigenous creator which rarely happens in interviews that I’ve seen for OFMD!! I don’t think he dismisses the fact that it’s a gay story either? They go into it for a good chunk of the interview. Maybe it’s because I’m Australian and the rhythm of this conversation just seems friendly and sincere. Those that are more used to a fast paced interviewing style might find this awkward but it seems like a nice respectful conversation to me !! and the guy made his own pirate flag 😭

As taika actually said. Like we don't need that. This show is actually how it could be without having to label or to come out and I love that very much ❤️

My favourite parts of the show is when some self-righteous Colonist or toxically masculine pirate tries to bully with homophobia and the general response from the crew is, "Dude. Not cool. What's your damage?" Queer is the *normal* and the phobes are the freaks.
