29 - Cheers to the Majestical Sam Neill - Possession (1981), Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

From the grey divides of cold war Berlin to the colorful landscape of the New Zealand bush, there’s nowhere a Sam Neill performance could go that audiences wouldn’t lovingly follow. Didn’t matter if he was dastardly chopping a finger or tenderly resting atop a dinosaur, his presence spiced up any film’s storyline. He brought depth and humor with him to every character he embodied, all for the love of acting and making other people happy. And for that, he will be greatly missed. This week, Hear Me Out celebrates the two ends of Sam Neill’s career with discussions about Possession for its 45th anniversary and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, joining the worldwide celebration of its 10th anniversary. Things get emotional when Nicole starts sharing passages from Sam’s recently published memoir and the convo basically stays off the rails from there - she cries a bunch, Aileen gets political, the conversation inevitably gets sexy so you know, basically the same old, same old! Aside from the movies, the usual segments make their appearances in the form of “What Did We Watch This Week” and “Trapped in a Car” and, of course, Blimpets! A very exciting personal update makes its way into Blimpets, keep those ears peeled. **As always, let the pod know what’s up with you!
