Rhys Darby Returns!

Actor, comedian, and podcaster Rhys Darby returns to the show to talk about new episodes of The Cryptid Factor show, and all things monstrous and extraterrestrial — as well as the significance of his show Our Flag Means Death, which ended far too soon. You know Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords, the Jumanji reboots. the What We Do in the Shadows film, The X-Files revival, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and most recently as the gentleman pirate Stede Bonnet in Our Flag Means Death alongside his buddy Taika Waititi. But Rhys Darby is also a fan of high strangeness, and is one-third of the long-running podcast The Cryptid Factor with Dan Schreiber, and Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck. Since 2008 they have passionately (and often awkwardly) been discussing 'cryptids' and monsters like Yeti, Chupacabra, Bigfoot and Nessie - as well as weird news of the world, UFO's, time travelers, robots and space stuff. Though they take these pseudosciences as seriously as they can, they struggle to take themselves seriously at all.
