How does kid who grew up on a remote reserve end up as a regular on multiple APTN tv series to laying the ground work for a takeover of Hollywood? This is his story.

We are back. We took a couple weeks off as things got busy with plays, film shoots, comedy shows, and life stuff. But here we are with episode 28, our first Comedy and NDNz episode with Jason Grasl, where we take a look at iconic comedy films, in this case, Airplane!
This is a bit experimental and indulgent and frankly we had a blast recording this. So if you do like it, we promise there will be more of these sprinkled into the Hollywood NDNz mix. And if you don't like it, we're sorry, but we had too much fun not to do this again.
