Lots to discuss this week, as Booksmart opens around Australia, The Last Man On Earth launches on SBS Viceland and SBS On Demand, and Robbie Hood launches to great acclaim. Also, Fiona's been watching a documentary about Alice Guy-Blache, a female filmmaker who needs to be a household name.

The United States' NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has many responsibilities but they can essentially be thought of as the federal government's "Environmental Intelligence Agency". Robbie Hood, a meteorologist by trade, is the Director of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Program at NOAA. Ian and Robbie discuss the challenges and complexities of how NOAA uses drones for mapping of coastal erosion, studying sea level changes, populations of fisheries and marine mammals, and monitoring weather conditions across their territory of the entire United States—with a budget of $5 million per year.
