1
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Eric Banner, we love getting you on the show all

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: the time. Mate, It's great to see you. And can

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: I just say we've been lucky enough to see this

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: movie before it comes out January. First World done, buddy.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: This is an amazing movie. It's a book, it's a

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: debut book. This is what spun me out. Eric by

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: a young she's only forty years of age. But Jane

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Harper is a genius, Mate, She's a brilliant writer.

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: Look, the book was much beloved and I was one

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: of the hundreds of thousands of fans who had read

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: a book and loved it. And so when the opportunity

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: came along, I jump really quickly. It's a really really

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: great read and thrilling mystery, and we don't get to

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: make too many of those here in Australia.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 3: Do you know there's something special about that, isn't that? Eric?

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: And I'm sure when you get the brief and you

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: read the script and everything, just to know that it's

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: going to be shot here and it's an Aussie made film,

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: it adds that extra bit of special, doesn't it.

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's I was sort of at first

21
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: nervous that we wouldn't get a chance to film it,

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: you know, way out west where where it should have been.

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: Because sometimes there's always a bit of compromise with these things.

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: You end up, you know, forty five minutes down the road,

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: you know, with a bit of bush in the background.

26
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: But it was great. We entrenched ourselves out in the

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Mallywimra region of Victoria for a couple of months and

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: got to shoot on location. And if you've read the book,

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: you know Jane Harper does such a great job of

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: depicting small, real Australian Australian regional towns so well. And

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: that was a really important character in the film.

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: Hey do you know what we picked up? And you're

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: not going to like this? And I couldn't believe it.

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: Like the young bloke that plays you, oh, year and

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: Fork in the movie, right, his name's Joe closek Right. Yeah.

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but he worked

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: at Nova with us for a while. Eric.

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: He did tell us that when we're in rehearsals that

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: he'd worked in radio. Yes, he had actually told us,

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: so I'm thrilled to Joe. Yes he did, he did,

41
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: and he is brilliant in the film. As you mentioned,

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: the young, younger version of my character Aaron Fork. Joe's

43
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: a great young actor and it's a really, really great

44
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: opportunity for him, and he just he just absolutely killed it.

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Killed it. He didn't kill it. But you're kidding yourself,

46
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: Eric Banner, if you'll rigged look like that when you

47
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: were a teenager, there's no way you would have had

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: a rig like that.

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: He got lucky.

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: Now, it took a while to develop, mate, It was

51
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: about ten years later.

52
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: It wasn't long after that and things started to take shape.

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: I mean he also played a masseuse in here when

54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: he was one of the casanova's rubbing our shoulders. So

55
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: I suppose the genius of Fitzi Whipper just ended up

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: on set with you.

57
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: We're claiming him, Rick, he's ours, mate, It started with us.

58
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: You can claim him. But he did mention the Novavi,

59
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: but he didn't mention that he that he was good

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: at massage though that to himself.

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, very strong hands.

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: You know.

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: The other thing, when you talk about Ossie films, there

64
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: was announcement here there's a bloke by the name of

65
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: zac Efron. He's in a movie that's being shot which

66
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: was announced called Gold and it's about a couple of

67
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: blogs that find a big nugget did you stop from it?

68
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: And they go hang on a that. I didn't realize

69
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: that was the story. But I think we've done that,

70
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: haven't we with Dave O'Neil and Steve Curry none other mate.

71
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: I love the Muggot. It was a great, real great movie. No, well,

72
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Joel Egittin's in it as well. It's a pretty big budget.

73
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: I think that start.

74
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: Let me get on the phone. Let me get on

75
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: the phone and let them know that it's been done before.

76
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: Come on, guys, work on the COVID front, mate, and

77
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: talk about reunions if you had a chance now because

78
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: you're in Melbourne. Bought to catch up with some friends,

79
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: get out for dinner.

80
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: Not much yet, so I'm working on it. First things first,

81
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: I've got to get the bikes off the charges and

82
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: get the washrag out and make sure everything's running right.

83
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: So that's pretty exciting. That's far more exciting than seeing friends.

84
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: I got to tell you anything else on the horizon, mate?

85
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: Have you locked yourself in for anything else? Are you

86
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: just concentrating on this at the moment?

87
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: No, No, just this at the moment. So it's a

88
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: bit quite on the old production front, as you can

89
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: well imagine. So yeah, just a bit of riding and

90
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: looking forward to things, things getting back to normal.

91
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: Well, I fit's in. I always say to the young

92
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: bucks that come on the show mates, stick with it.

93
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: Good luck of the stage again. You can really harness

94
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: your skills there and work out where you want to be.

95
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: But good luck for the future, mate, and I hope

96
