What better way to celebrate International Puppy Day than by diving into Wes Anderson’s 2018 film Isle of Dogs? This nostalgic, beautifully crafted story takes you on a full emotional rollercoaster making us laugh, cry, get a little angry, and ultimately feel completely warmed by its heartfelt ending. It’s one of those films that just gets you, especially on a day dedicated to our furry best friends. Of course, we couldn’t resist comparing it to a breakfast food, and sharing our brutally honest reviews because nothing pairs better with puppies than a little chaos and strong opinions.

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Maddy Halford and Connor Deneys

Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour and Sam Kelly

We're live weekdays on SYN from 7:30am 📻

MOVIE MONDAY | ISLE OF DOGS

Sam, Maddy and Connor chat with co-writer and director Kate about A Succulent Chinese Musical?! as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. For anyone slightly confused by the title, Kate breaks down what the show actually is and how one of Australia’s most iconic viral moments — the “Democracy Manifest” clip — became a full musical.

They dive into how you turn something so chaotic into a structured show, what's the narrative behind it, and what audiences can expect when they step into something that’s equal parts theatre, comedy and internet history. Plus, a little teaser of what’s in store for anyone heading along.

INTERVIEW | A Succulent Chinese Musical and turning a meme into theatre

Sam, Maddy and Connor are back in the Cereal Box tackling International Cleaning Week, asking the big question: are you neat or tidy? While Sam and Maddy sit on the fence, Connor fully embraces the messy label.

Maddy brings her weekly pop culture recap and a look at what happened this week in history, before the team dive into Isle of Dogs for Movie Monday in honour of World Puppy Day.

They also chat with Kate, co-writer and director of A Succulent Chinese Musical?!, ahead of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Plus, Mission Mondays returns as Sam checks in on last week’s challenge of connecting with grandparents and sets a new one — fixing a bad cleaning habit.
