Upon its opening release in the United States and Canada on May 13, 2011, Bridesmaids was a critical and commercial success.

Episode 3 - Giant's Country
At Morialta Falls, Aaron and Holly meet senior Aboriginal man, Uncle Mickey Kumatpi O’Brien.
Mickey is a descendant of the Kaurna and Narrunga peoples. He tells us about the creator giant Nganno, whose fallen body forms the Mount Lofty Ranges. Mickey shows Aaron and Holly the site where an image of Nganno is hidden, and sometimes revealed, in the landscape.
In the Giant’s Cave, Uncle Mickey shares the idea of "twoness", which encapsulates for him the importance of reciprocity and mutual benefit. He says Kaurna people look after the land, for this is where their spirits return.
Moving to The Cedars at Hahndorf, Holly and Aaron visit a property where one of Australia’s greatest painters, Hans Heyson, lived and worked. His subjects included the eucalyptus trees growing here. His work changed the way the Australian landscape was represented.
On the Fleurieu Peninsula we visit Deep Creek Conservation Park, where Aaron and Holly search the stringybark forest for tree hollows. These hollows take decades to develop, and they are homes for many mammals and birds.
Aaron and Holly meet beloved chef and artist Poh Ling Yeow, who shares how nature is her inspiration. She believes the Earth is always speaking to us and that its geometry and rhythms can guide us forwards.
Standing by the ocean, at Blowhole Beach, Aaron tells Holly the Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri story of Karta, or Kangaroo Island. The Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri believe that when they die their spirits will travel to the island, heal and revitalise, and then return to the mainland, ready to begin the next journey.
Episode 08 -The Edible Schoolyard, Berkeley, CA
Join us today as we visit the Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, California. This nationally recognized organization was conceived in 1994 after a seemingly innocuous comment about the condition of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School by restaurateur Alice Waters who passed by the school daily. Principal Neil Smith then contacted Alice and, knowing of her reputation, invited her to plan a garden at the school. The rest, as they say, is history.
A food pioneer of sorts, Alice believes that fresh food from sustainable sources should be available to everyone. In her words, it should be a “right, not a privilege”. She opened her restaurant, Chez Panisse, in 1971 and has since worked with local farmers and ranchers who share her philosophy and who provide the freshest and purest ingredients. That meeting in 1994 resulted in the creation of a teaching garden and kitchen where students grow, harvest and cook produce from the garden.

DC League of Super-Pets is a 2022 American 3D computer-animated superhero comedy film based on the DC Comics superhero team Legion of Super-Pets. Produced by Warner Animation Group, DC Entertainment, and Seven Bucks Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it was directed by Jared Stern and co-directed by Sam J. Levine from a screenplay by Stern and John Whittington. The film stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of Krypto, alongside a supporting ensemble voice cast that includes Kevin Hart, Kate McKinnon, John Krasinski, Vanessa Bayer, Natasha Lyonne, Diego Luna, Marc Maron, Thomas Middleditch, Ben Schwartz, and Keanu Reeves. The film tells the story of Superman's pet dog Krypto and shelter dog Ace who work with other animals to save the captured superheroes from Lex Luthor and Lulu.
During the early days of Warner Animation Group, Stern pitched the film in 2012, after working in an animal shelter, where he noticed how older animals were less likely to be adopted and wondered about the idea of those pets having superpowers. He was hired to write and direct a film about DC's Legion of Super-Pets in July 2018. Levine and Patricia Hicks joined the project in January 2019 as co-director and producer, respectively. Johnson was signed on to voice Krypto in May 2021, while other main cast members were confirmed to join the voice roles by June 2021, including Hart, McKinnon, Krasinski, Bayer, Lyonne, Luna, Maron, and Reeves. The inspiration for the film's animation style came from Art Deco architecture and illustrator J.C. Leyendecker. The animation was provided by Animal Logic.
DC League of Super-Pets had its premiere in Los Angeles on July 27, 2022, and was released in the United States on July 29. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed over $207 million worldwide on a $90 million budget.
