1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fitzi and whipp A podcast.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: If you're not doing anything this weekend, get on to stand.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: There is a great movie that it's been dropped today.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: It's called Transfusion. It's the story of Ryan Logan who

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: suffers from PTSD.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 3: He comes back.

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: He's trying to reconnect with his young son, Billy, and

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: we have Sam Worthington who plays Ryan, and also Edward

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: Carmody in the studio now who plays Billy. It is

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: pretty full on Sammy this movie. It's flat out like

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: I mean, and did you speak to any soldiers who

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: come back and have to experience this crossover into every

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: long to.

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 4: A lot of return veterans because for the simple factive,

15
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 4: you are telling a story of them. You know, these

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 4: guys who were trying to assimilate back into society and

17
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 4: it's tough for a lot of them because there have

18
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 4: a certain skill set that isn't appreciated when they're coming

19
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: back and it's hard for them to just fit back

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 4: into the normal life.

21
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 5: You're right, because a lot of people then they feel

22
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 5: caught out. That's kind of like what happens in the film. Well,

23
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 5: you think, well, what am I going to do for work?

24
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 5: How am I going to get money?

25
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 4: And they've gone from such intense situation. It's like we're

26
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 4: show in the movie a little bit of that.

27
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 6: You know.

28
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 4: When I first read it, it was described as a

29
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 4: muscular thriller, a man saving his son, and I thought

30
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 4: this is going to be a cheap movie, and we

31
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 4: try to be a bit you change it a lot

32
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 4: and be a bit deeper and more respectful because of

33
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: the veterans and because we just wanted to tell a

34
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: different story to just an action movie.

35
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Well, Edward, you play the son Billy, and we talk

36
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: about masculine like this is your first role. You've got

37
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: Sam Worthington and Matt Abel.

38
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: No pressure, no pressure at.

39
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: All, and the way that they talk, you know, it's

40
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: it's very manly and obviously these guys have fought in

41
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: the war. You're a sniper Sammy in this movie as well.

42
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: It's did you feel intimidated it when you first went

43
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: under set?

44
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 7: To be honest, I did no, but I was quickly

45
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 7: made to feel the home. You know. Sam's been incredible

46
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 7: mentor through the whole project, and yeah, I'm very grateful

47
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 7: with that. And yeah, and Matt was the same. In fact,

48
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 7: you know, the whole cast and crew was just a

49
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 7: very collaborative experience.

50
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: A softie, you know. Matt Nabels got that and a

51
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: real voice. Yeah, but he's one of the gendlest men

52
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: I've ever known.

53
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: You hear him on Fox Sports Left Fright and so

54
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: he's the main voice over guy Tim.

55
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 4: He was a great footy player. He's lived this tough life.

56
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: But the movie is about these guys who can't express

57
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 4: their emotions, and their emotions overflow, so you need to

58
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: actors like Ed who are willing to take risks.

59
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 6: Was like Matt, who can push you a bit. It's good.

60
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 5: It was the most frustrating part watching Sam and the

61
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 5: time it took to put his blonde wig on.

62
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 8: It's real, mans, not real and he's real.

63
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: He's real.

64
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's I grew it because of COVID.

65
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: It was COVID, you know, hit America first and the Shoulders,

66
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: and then I needed to get a movie that I

67
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: could use.

68
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: That that watching about the speed Dealer glasses? Were they yours?

69
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 6: And I think the company was?

70
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 8: I don't know what enjoy the head?

71
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: Did she like the head?

72
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: You think of that?

73
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 6: She said and brushed it.

74
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: She was.

75
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 8: She was just like, what is this?

76
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 6: And I said, it's a character. It's amazing, and she

77
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 6: was like, what have.

78
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: We were just talking about that.

79
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 5: I mean, the perfect role would be if you were

80
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: paid to put on weight, wouldn't it if someone said, I'm.

81
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 4: Pushing for that all the time, I'm lazy. I don't

82
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 4: like go under the gym hat.

83
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: It'd be perfect, but you'd want it.

84
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 5: You want to find that sweet spot where you're kind

85
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: of fat, but you're not at a fat suit.

86
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you have to be real fat, not a

87
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: fat suit.

88
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 6: You're saying it could be working. It's not work, eating

89
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 6: pizzas and stuff like that. Would it be?

90
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 8: No?

91
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: Can you get into trouble with the law of it

92
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: in this movie? I mean obvious question here ed. Have

93
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: you had experience in the past?

94
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 4: Nah?

95
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 7: I mean I mean Sam Sam tells me I'm a

96
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 7: bit of a diva.

97
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: So Sammy, what about when you were younger?

98
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: Did you ever get into any brushes with the laws?

99
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 8: I've been a good boy.

100
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: I mean there was talk too. We heard the other

101
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 5: day that you would have been a great the next bond.

102
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: You would have made an awesome bond.

103
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 6: I did go for Bond.

104
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: Did you I went, did you audition with Martin Campbell

105
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,240

00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: What do you do?

108
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: You do a screen test from from the movie from Russia.

109
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: We Love So you do you walk in as the

00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: could get the killer of Bond down.

112
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 6: I just couldn't get the charm. I couldn't charm.

113
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: I was off your clothes.

114
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 6: The suit didn't fit. Man.

115
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: Do you have to keep did you keep the Aussie accent?

116
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: Or did you go another accent?

117
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 6: I tried to do a British act.

118
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: I did.

119
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 4: I did say to them, I wanted to wear the

120
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: white taxedo like Roger Moore. I wanted to bring back

121
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 4: the congre chops. And they looked at me like I

122
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: was crazy.

123
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: You don't want.

124
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: Again, you don't want to look like a waiter.

125
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 8: I did try one on.

126
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 6: It didn't.

127
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: The matred like.

128
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: So you're in a situation and they go, all right,

129
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: actually it.

130
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: Will be up next for it. They get every young

131
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: person through thing. Even if you talk to me like

132
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: sam Neil. Sam Neil back in the day went for

133
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: a Bond.

134
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 6: Every actor.

135
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 8: I think Mel Gibson went for a bonded.

136
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: Have you been for bond?

137
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 4: Well, they're looking, they're looking for a new one. You

138
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: never know, man, and it's what they do. They get

139
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 4: every young dude in and then they whittle it down.

140
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: Did they tell you to put on a British accent

141
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: or did you go?

142
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: Well?

143
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: I said, if I do it Australian, I'm gonna be

144
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: the next George Lazenbee. And he only did one that

145
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: was I didn't want to be like that, so I

146
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: tried British.

147
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 5: It was ay, I see it down on the bed.

148
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: Beautiful thing.

149
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 8: Like Dick vang Dyke.

150
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 7: For you.

151
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: It was I just remember and I remember Martin just going,

152
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: just do your normal voice. It's all cool, man.

153
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 3: So Sammy, let's get this right, Avatar.

154
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Have you already filmed two movies or have you done

155
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: the third?

156
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 4: We did the third one as we were doing the

157
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: second one, because there's almost like a continuation of this,

158
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: the same story and the kids would age out.

159
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: So do you need to film the last two? They

160
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: haven't been filmed yet.

161
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 6: If the movie is successful, we get to do four

162
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 6: and five.

163
