Weekly Wrap-Up
January 15 2023

This week kicks off the annual awards season, so that was a big chunk of the OFMD headlines (or rather, not). The UK was also treated to OFMD episode 2, and another Q&A chat with Kristian Nairn! Let’s dig into the particulars…

#1: OFMD has been nominated for a couple of awards, but largely ignored by the “big guys” (Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, etc). Continue reading





New Year’s Eve Round-Up
January 02 2023

Another year, come and gone… And what a year it was – it brought us this little show called Our Flag Means Death…!

Let’s see what the cast was up to this past weekend! Looks like lots of parties, and lots of well-wishes… And one possibly-naked Rhys Darby… 🤔

Rhys stands behind, and arm draped over, the open door of a Jeep that has the Cryptid Factor logo on it. Rhys appears to have no clothes on (except a safari hat). Text says: "Leaving 2022 in style... #bushman"
Dominic Burgess posts a gallery of 9 photos to his Insta, a collection of 2022 memories. One of them is his recent engagement. Text says: "Lots of firsts and lots to be grateful for this year… First time voting in the US, first tattoo, first (and only(?!)) engagement, turned forty, caught up with friends I haven’t seen in years, was able to travel a little and continue doing the job that I love… very, very, grateful ❤️❤️❤️ HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL 🎉 #2022 #yearinreview #thisyear #grateful"
Samba and his partner Aria are kayaking in beautiful blue water. Samba raises his paddle triumpantly over his head as Aria takes a selfie of them both. Text says: "✨01.01.23✨"
Samba and Buttons gesture happily towards a fryer. Text says: "Just 2 Dutch boys making oliebollen. Happy New Year from the future!"
Samba posts a collage of his 2022 memories. Text reads: "2022, you’ve been good to me. Yes there were funerals, health issues and constant world crisis. But there were pockets of unforgettable and new experiences. Windows of bliss, breezes of wins. Thank you for those. For family visits, friends old and new. Never thought I’d make an orange cake go viral. Or be on Celebrity Family Feud. Or end up in New Zealand. Thank you for the reminder that anything is possible, and that the best surprises can be right around the corner. That things can drastically change in a month, mostly for the better. And that staying true to yourself is all that matters✨ I wish for 2023 to be beautiful, peaceful, healthy, adventurous and prosperous for all. Thank you loved ones for all your support. I am grateful. Happiest of New Years. We got this🙏🏾❤️"
Nathan Foad takes a selfie on his couch, surrounded by seven friends. Text says simply: "HNY"

Leslie posts a New Year-themed TikTok by @ariel.fitz: https://www.tiktok.com/@ariel.fitz/video/7183321781363559685
David walks a dog on a small road, rolling hills in the background. Text reads: "Thank you for all the love thrown my way yesterday!!! Have a great 2023 all may it be filled with massively large doses of the good stuff and a smidge of the bad to remind you that you’re human and have the ability to rise above it on your own or with the help of other awesome humans or dogs. Not cats though they scare the shit outta me. 🍸🍾🥂💫🌟✨🐈‍⬛"
Three of David's friends are walking their dogs along a sandy beach, a very tall grassy hill in the background. Text reads simply: "HNY"

Christmas Round-Up
December 28 2022

Lots of the cast and crew were seen celebrating Christmas, or were seen at a holiday party of some kind this weekend. Here’s a roundup of all their well wishes and shenanigans!

Rhys looks at the camera with resignation as his son Theo smiles goofily behind him, pointing at a lock of Rhys' hair that has been shoved under the bridge of his glasses. Overlay text says: "Theo messing with my hair"
Rhys is a good dad.
Rhys' son Theo stands on the front porch, wearing a Christmas-themed suit. It has horizontal stripes of alternating red and green with Christmas trees and snowflakes on it. (It's fabulous.) Text caption reads: "Meri kirihimete from Aotearoa!"
