Speaker 1: The City and with Kate Ritchie podcast.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: We're so pummed about this. This is a very funny show.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: It's called Court, the stand original series. It's up now,

Speaker 2: man behind this is Kick Gurry and we also have

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: the magnificent Matthew Fox Today.

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: What the guys? Yeah?

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 4: Can I just jump in first off and say, did

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 4: you expect the standing ovation you got last night? It

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 4: was extraordinary? Really was.

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: Life sometimes comes down to a few moments, and last

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: night was one of them. You couldn't have dreamed of

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: such a moment. Did you have your favorite part apart

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: from the ovation? The middle?

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that backflip that you did, Matthew.

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 3: Fox was.

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Wedding to do that for a while at Nailed at Foxy.

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: Can I start with you, Matthew, because you're good mates

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: with Keith. When he sent the script for Court, I

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: heard the you and your wife were reading this and

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: couldn't stop laughing and said, we need to be involved

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: with this series.

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely. We were actually in lockdown in Rome when I

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: Kick sent this. He'd made with the boys, my wife

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: and I and our son actually Byron. We just watched

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: it on repeat like over and over it because it

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: was just hilarious. And I wrote back immediately. I was like,

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I'll do anything you want me to do.

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: The same thing from Sean Pen, wasn't it. Yeah, it

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: was like I love this, I want to get involved.

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: And it was great advice. And a friend of mine said,

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: you should just make something ten to fifteen minutes, just

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: to kind of show the tone of the piece. Sean

34
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 3: actually said. I sent him a teaser and he rang

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: me up. He said, this is perfectly inappropriate. He said,

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you three options as you let

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: me help you get it made, and I'll champion it

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: for you to bees I'll be in it, and I'll

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: produce it with you and we'll do it together. And

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: sees you tell me to go five. Is that just

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: one of those phone calls that yes, pretty great? Remember forever.

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: I was in lockdown in Melbourne actually at the time,

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: because we made the teaser right before all the COVID

44
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 3: stuff happened, and I was at mum and Dad's house. Yeah,

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: forty five year old man living with my parents, feeling

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: a bit of a loser, to be honest, and then

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: he ranged me out of the blue and my mom

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: was in the next room, and I was having this

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: phone calls my sure, and he said all that, And

50
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: then I walked out and my mom looked at him, shas.

51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: Was that sure, surely.

52
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: This is Fitzy on the phone pretending to.

53
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: Because that's the thing, Maddie. How much comes across your

54
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: desk when you look at how many scripts are sent

55
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 4: to you or teaser reels where you go, Nah, I'm

56
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 4: going to give that a pass. I mean, obviously this

57
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: stood out for a reason. It was funny and you

58
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: loved it.

59
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

60
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: Well, and also, I mean I've known Kicked since. I mean,

61
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: we did speed recently together. We've been really good friends,

62
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: and Kicker is one of, if not the funniest friend

63
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: that I've ever had. I love being around him.

64
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: How difficult is that, though? When you actually let's go

65
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: to filming? Now? Was there a lot of living? I know,

66
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: Kick just likes to pull stuff out of nowhere? Did

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 2: you have to stop scenes because of the laughter?

68
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

69
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

70
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: That was actually the Honestly, and I'm not exaggerating, here

71
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: was the most fun I've ever had on a film.

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: See'd be different to Lost, wouldn't it. I was so.

73
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Serious, like I dropped out of the business for seven

74
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: years to recover.

75
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: I really did.

76
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: I thought I was done, and Kick's Mad Mind was

77
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that I came back.

78
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: You already have the role, by the way, you didn't

79
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: need to say.

80
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Is there a level of irony that you're taking the

81
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: piece out of going viral? Yet the show's probably gone

82
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: viral before the show's even started on the steam.

83
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: I just think that it's so true, Isy, But we're

84
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: just living in this crazy time that none of us

85
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: quite yet understand what it is. We don't know what

86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: the hell's going on around us.

87
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: We've created.

88
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: For me, it feels like we created Superman with the Internet,

89
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: but we don't. Suddenly it's gone road and Supman's wearing

90
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: a black suitman to and we're going like, what the

91
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: hell do we do with all this stuff? And we

92
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: don't know? And it's everyone everyone trade is everyone's sort

93
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: of grappling with Am I meant to post Uncle's fortieth

94
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: Am I meant to? You know, what do I say

95
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: about my girlfriend online? Do I follow them after we

96
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: break up? So I just thought, well, let's do Let's

97
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: do a comedic version of it. Comedy is a good

98
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: way to just an entry point to have some conversations

99
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: around what does all this mean for us as a society.

100
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean when you look at the cast, well, you've

101
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: got Matthew Fox's come out to Australia to promote it,
