How Power Rangers baked a Kiwi pav to win $1.6 million

from Politics Central · host Newstalk ZB

The Herald's Business investigations reporter Matt Nippert joined the Weekend Collective to talk about a slightly bizarre story from this morning. Nippert has been working on a series of stories exploring the nexus between the Wellington-dominated film industry and the Beehive. One such example features a pavlova - in an effort to attract people to our country, $1.6 million was paid to producers of the TV show Power Rangers in return for references including having a New Zealand-born character spend an entire episode trying to bake a pavlova.
