The Interview Series #1: Mika Moret. After an impromptu summer siesta we're back with the first in what we hope will be a new interview series, brought to you by Gray & Jay! On this episode Gray is delighted to welcome Mika to the show to talk about her photography work, and current exhibition in the Corona Concept Gallery in Howth. Mika is a very talented and provocative artist currently living and working in Dublin City, originally hailing from Brazil. Throughout the interview Mika goes into detail on the themes and artistry of her self-portrait work, which leads to deeper discussions on mental health, identity, family life, immigrating to Ireland, as well as dealing with the pandemic and lockdown life. We also feature questions sent in from Jayme, at his current outpost in Dubai! Many many thanks to Mika, who was incredibly graceful when discussing her work and personal life. One of our main goals when holding these types of conversations is to create a positive, fruitful space for artists to discuss their work and hopefully act as a platform for such artists to gain more exposure. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or are interested in being featured in the future. Much Love, Gray & Jay.

In this episode, of 50 flicks of gray and Jay, we review the year that was 2020 through an almost cathartic viewing of, the mockumentary, Death to 2020; A satirical piece that acts as highlight reel to the good, bad and ugly this past year brought us.  We also discuss updates for COVID 2021, our new found addiction for running and Dublin's best public bathrooms.  Welcome to a new year, enjoy.

LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN! Happy holidays and seasonal greetings!  The Midsommar podcast is now live on all good podcast streaming  platforms, for FREE! Now we know what you're thinking, why cover Ari  Aster's summer solstice cult horror flick during Christmas? Apart from  procrastination and laziness, we here at 50 Flicks believe that this  film is the perfect Christmas film for people who hate Christmas films.  It features ritualistic themes of rebirth, sacrifice and indoctrination.  Astronomically speaking, it is a transformative time, and mirrors one  of the movie's central motifs of celestial (and personal) transition  between the seasons. Depictions mass family murder-sucides, which  are inevitably pushed to the fore of ones mind during this time of  year, especially during Christmas dinner (when Granny won't pass the  gravy) are invoked in the opening act, which actually takes place at  Christmas. (Check out the snow behind what Richard did and tell  me that doesn't give you festive cheer). Due to the pandemic, this  festive season will be marred by themes of isolation and alienation from  loved ones, family, and friends, this film has that too! So now that  we have convinced you, don't hesitate and stick on the three hour  Director's Cut, pour a drink, and wait for this whole nightmare to blow  over, again.(And as always: *Spoiler Alert Fools*) Merry Christmas and much love from 50 Flicks!
