03. Karen O'Leary - My Movie DNA
Listen now
Description
In episode three, Johnny talks to Karen O'Leary. One of New Zealand's national treasures, Karen stars opposite Mike Minogue in Wellington Paranormal, one of several offshoots of Taika Waititi's What We Do In The Shadows universe. Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Karen is also an educator and a musician. In addition to What We Do In The Shadows, her acting credits include the films The Breaker Upperers and the recently released Nude Tuesday. Our conversation was recorded at the end of August 2022 and covers topics such as '80s movies and rom-coms, swearing at Spielberg films, conspiracy theories and the eternal challenge of sourcing a child's skeleton. Many thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant music (check out James' superb iPhone game Loco Looper), and Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.
