Happiness isn't the emotion that 98 00:05:18,455 --> 00:05:22,214 Speaker 1: springs to mind, especially as we continue to watch on 99 00:05:22,375 --> 00:05:26,055 Speaker 1: and mourn the events of December fourteenth. Lifeline says there 100 00:05:26,055 --> 00:05:29,815 Speaker 1: are many reasons people feel overwhelmed during the holiday period, 101 00:05:30,255 --> 00:05:35,895 Speaker 1: things like financial stress, strained relationships, loneliness, changes in your routine. 102 00:05:36,015 --> 00:05:38,735 Speaker 1: They can all lead to what's sometimes referred to as 103 00:05:38,815 --> 00:05:41,375 Speaker 1: the holiday blues. And that's on top of the fact 104 00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:44,815 Speaker 1: we've already been witnessed to horrific news this week too. 105 00:05:44,935 --> 00:05:48,295 Speaker 1: In fact, on Monday, Lifeline recorded its busiest day of 106 00:05:48,375 --> 00:05:52,495 Speaker 1: the year, receiving more than forty three hundred calls. So 107 00:05:52,615 --> 00:05:54,615 Speaker 1: as many of us start to clock off work for 108 00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:57,815 Speaker 1: the year, our day to day routines falling by the wayside, 109 00:05:57,895 --> 00:06:00,735 Speaker 1: and a surge of social events, feel the calendar just 110 00:06:00,775 --> 00:06:04,695 Speaker 1: how do we actually look after ourselves over the coming weeks. 111 00:06:05,575 --> 00:06:08,695 Speaker 1: Rabeys is a psychotherapist and a host of This Is 112 00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:12,695 Speaker 1: Why We Fight, Sarah, You just like cannot blame people 113 00:06:12,695 --> 00:06:16,214 Speaker 1: for not feeling particularly jolly this year. Why do the 114 00:06:16,295 --> 00:06:18,455 Speaker 1: holidays take a toll on our mental health? 115 00:06:18,815 --> 00:06:21,415 Speaker 3: I think a few reasons. There's always a build up 116 00:06:21,415 --> 00:06:24,695 Speaker 3: to holidays, so there's this like quick, get everything done, 117 00:06:24,775 --> 00:06:26,815 Speaker 3: got to finish all my work, got to submit all 118 00:06:26,815 --> 00:06:30,294 Speaker 3: my assessments. So there's usually this kind of get everything 119 00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:33,815 Speaker 3: done extra stress that leads up to it. And then 120 00:06:33,975 --> 00:06:38,455 Speaker 3: there's the stress of being around certain family members or 121 00:06:38,495 --> 00:06:41,775 Speaker 3: a group of family members all together, where it just 122 00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:45,855 Speaker 3: isn't the same type of pressure of a calm, casual 123 00:06:45,895 --> 00:06:47,375 Speaker 3: family get together, you know what I. 124 00:06:47,335 --> 00:06:49,215 Speaker 1: Mean, I do, and I think as well when we 125 00:06:49,255 --> 00:06:52,735 Speaker 1: talk about something like Christmas, for instance, that can act 126 00:06:52,735 --> 00:06:55,055 Speaker 1: as a bit of a sign post for people. Like 127 00:06:55,095 --> 00:06:58,415 Speaker 1: when you get together, there's always those questions or expectations 128 00:06:58,455 --> 00:07:02,815 Speaker 1: maybe of like where's your baby, or like marriage or 129 00:07:03,015 --> 00:07:05,414 Speaker 1: other big career achievements. So when you rock up to 130 00:07:05,575 --> 00:07:08,775 Speaker 1: Christmas lunch, it can maybe sometimes be like a not 131 00:07:08,815 --> 00:07:10,135 Speaker 1: so nice reminder too. 132 00:07:11,335 --> 00:07:16,175 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's all those awkward conversations potentially family 133 00:07:16,215 --> 00:07:21,615 Speaker 3: members who have expectations of us or different expectations of 134 00:07:21,695 --> 00:07:25,175 Speaker 3: themselves than we would have of them, And there tends 135 00:07:25,215 --> 00:07:27,335 Speaker 3: to be a lot of like do I just put 136 00:07:27,415 --> 00:07:29,655 Speaker 3: up and shut up or do I speak up for 137 00:07:29,735 --> 00:07:32,095 Speaker 3: what I believe in or want to put boundaries in? 138 00:07:32,135 --> 00:07:33,575 Speaker 3: And I think this is what causes a lot of 139 00:07:33,615 --> 00:07:36,535 Speaker 3: emotional distress, is knowing how do I want to show 140 00:07:36,615 --> 00:07:38,415 Speaker 3: up at these family events? 141 00:07:38,735 --> 00:07:42,495 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think as well, Sarah. Obviously the holiday time 142 00:07:42,575 --> 00:07:44,775 Speaker 1: can be quite stressful for people, and we're sitting in 143 00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:47,855 Speaker 1: the middle of some pretty intense grief at the moment 144 00:07:47,895 --> 00:07:52,135 Speaker 1: after what we witnessed on Sunday, so emotions are heightened 145 00:07:52,495 --> 00:07:56,055 Speaker 1: definitely in this holiday period. Can you suggest to us 146 00:07:56,095 --> 00:07:59,455 Speaker 1: maybe some coping strategies to help us get through the 147 00:07:59,495 --> 00:08:00,335 Speaker 1: next few weeks. 148 00:08:00,735 --> 00:08:04,575 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I think that there's a really big focus 149 00:08:04,775 --> 00:08:07,975 Speaker 3: around get theness, which I think is beautiful, But I 150 00:08:08,095 --> 00:08:11,495 Speaker 3: do believe that that is only healing if it's with 151 00:08:11,735 --> 00:08:15,255 Speaker 3: people that provide that emotional safety and space for us 152 00:08:15,335 --> 00:08:18,335 Speaker 3: to feel we can calm our nervous systems down or 153 00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:20,615 Speaker 3: process our grief in this way. And that may or 154 00:08:20,615 --> 00:08:24,655 Speaker 3: may not be your family, right, So, I think the 155 00:08:24,695 --> 00:08:30,615 Speaker 3: biggest advice from me is limiting exposure to the people 156 00:08:30,655 --> 00:08:34,335 Speaker 3: that we don't feel emotionally safe or contained around, or 157 00:08:34,334 --> 00:08:37,775 Speaker 3: who don't respect our boundaries, because when we're processing grief, 158 00:08:37,975 --> 00:08:40,415 Speaker 3: it is really hard to be able to step into 159 00:08:40,455 --> 00:08:43,775 Speaker 3: that calm and boundary place where more vulnerable and therefore 160 00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:46,535 Speaker 3: being around people that we know tend to bulldoze boundaries 161 00:08:46,775 --> 00:08:51,934 Speaker 3: is not great. So either having a plan like organizing 162 00:08:52,015 --> 00:08:54,615 Speaker 3: with your partner, with your sibling, with your friend, whoever's 163 00:08:54,615 --> 00:08:56,735 Speaker 3: coming to the gathering with you. We're going to be 164 00:08:56,815 --> 00:08:59,695 Speaker 3: in and out in this amount of time. What topics 165 00:08:59,735 --> 00:09:02,295 Speaker 3: do we have to distract if someone starts bringing up 166 00:09:02,335 --> 00:09:04,135 Speaker 3: something that we just don't want to go there? Do 167 00:09:04,175 --> 00:09:06,415 Speaker 3: we already have some go to to just Oh, I'm 168 00:09:06,415 --> 00:09:08,095 Speaker 3: just going to help out with the prawns over here 169 00:09:08,175 --> 00:09:12,895 Speaker 3: or whatever, you know, having something there to already hold 170 00:09:12,935 --> 00:09:15,615 Speaker 3: yourself to in case in the moment you're just sort 171 00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:16,855 Speaker 3: of like, oh, what do I do? 172 00:09:17,135 --> 00:09:20,975 Speaker 1: The holidays can also be a really lonely or isolating 173 00:09:21,054 --> 00:09:23,815 Speaker 1: time for some people. How should those folks be looking 174 00:09:23,855 --> 00:09:24,694 Speaker 1: after themselves? 175 00:09:25,215 --> 00:09:28,575 Speaker 3: So for people who potentially want to be with others 176 00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:32,454 Speaker 3: and don't have a family near them, or for whatever reasons, 177 00:09:32,495 --> 00:09:34,934 Speaker 3: are not connected to those the loved ones that they 178 00:09:34,935 --> 00:09:37,135 Speaker 3: would usually be with, I think that there is something 179 00:09:37,335 --> 00:09:41,975 Speaker 3: in creating your own traditions and creating that space for 180 00:09:42,054 --> 00:09:46,015 Speaker 3: you to feel lonely and feel disconnected without it being 181 00:09:46,335 --> 00:09:49,615 Speaker 3: a totalizing experience. So, you know, when we feel lonely. 182 00:09:49,695 --> 00:09:52,895 Speaker 3: We can get into this sense of feeling completely alone 183 00:09:52,935 --> 00:09:57,255 Speaker 3: in the world, but we can actually find connections with anything, 184 00:09:57,295 --> 00:09:59,415 Speaker 3: and whether that would be with nature, whether that would 185 00:09:59,415 --> 00:10:02,015 Speaker 3: be with our pets, with our community, could even be 186 00:10:02,095 --> 00:10:04,375 Speaker 3: going down by the beach and having a sit and 187 00:10:04,415 --> 00:10:06,815 Speaker 3: watching people go by. You know, there's a lot of 188 00:10:06,855 --> 00:10:11,255 Speaker 3: ways to stay connected to just the world in general, 189 00:10:11,335 --> 00:10:14,295 Speaker 3: even if we are feeling lonely or distant from our 190 00:10:14,335 --> 00:10:14,934 Speaker 3: loved ones. 191 00:10:15,335 --> 00:10:19,095 Speaker 1: Okay, Sarah, how do we make sure that we're not 192 00:10:19,135 --> 00:10:22,495 Speaker 1: the one that ruins Christmas lunch? For instance, We're going 193 00:10:22,575 --> 00:10:24,495 Speaker 1: to be coming together with a lot of people, lots 194 00:10:24,535 --> 00:10:27,375 Speaker 1: of family members, and maybe we don't all see eye 195 00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:30,455 Speaker 1: to eye. We've got different views and opinions. Somebody might 196 00:10:30,495 --> 00:10:33,295 Speaker 1: say something a bit rogue, So how should we handle that. 197 00:10:33,855 --> 00:10:34,495 Speaker 4: I like this. 198 00:10:34,495 --> 00:10:37,015 Speaker 3: Idea that we're not supposed to ruin Christmas lunch, Like 199 00:10:37,575 --> 00:10:41,574 Speaker 3: sometimes us just being authentic and showing up as ourself 200 00:10:41,735 --> 00:10:46,015 Speaker 3: or putting in a boundary maybe ruining Christmas Lunch for 201 00:10:46,015 --> 00:10:48,855 Speaker 3: everybody else, but it might be actually protecting myself. So 202 00:10:49,255 --> 00:10:53,015 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be trying not to ruin Christmas lunch particularly, 203 00:10:53,215 --> 00:10:57,334 Speaker 3: But I think there is definitely something to say if we, 204 00:10:57,575 --> 00:10:59,855 Speaker 3: you know, our goal would be that today can go 205 00:10:59,895 --> 00:11:03,095 Speaker 3: as smoothly as possible, And what does that look like 206 00:11:03,215 --> 00:11:06,175 Speaker 3: in a way that balances my needs as well as 207 00:11:06,215 --> 00:11:09,975 Speaker 3: the families because often people will just be quiet and 208 00:11:09,975 --> 00:11:12,655 Speaker 3: put up with things, or you know, not speak up 209 00:11:12,855 --> 00:11:16,695 Speaker 3: and just be uncomfortable for the peace of the family gathering. 210 00:11:17,175 --> 00:11:20,334 Speaker 3: And that's not necessarily going to be helpful for you. 211 00:11:20,455 --> 00:11:23,855 Speaker 3: So is there a way that I can ensure that 212 00:11:24,095 --> 00:11:26,975 Speaker 3: I know who the people I need to sit next 213 00:11:26,975 --> 00:11:29,935 Speaker 3: to are the topics that I'm not going to talk about, 214 00:11:30,175 --> 00:11:32,814 Speaker 3: and just have some go to lines of like, hey, look, 215 00:11:33,054 --> 00:11:34,455 Speaker 3: you know, there's been a lot going on at the 216 00:11:34,455 --> 00:11:35,975 Speaker 3: moment and I just don't really want to get into 217 00:11:35,975 --> 00:11:38,415 Speaker 3: that today. Let's just enjoy lunch or you know, so 218 00:11:38,495 --> 00:11:40,775 Speaker 3: when we get pushed into certain topics that we know 219 00:11:41,495 --> 00:11:43,935 Speaker 3: are going to take us to that place, I think 220 00:11:44,015 --> 00:11:46,775 Speaker 3: having a couple of go to strategies of just you 221 00:11:46,775 --> 00:11:48,535 Speaker 3: know what, I really want to just talk about happy 222 00:11:48,535 --> 00:11:51,695 Speaker 3: in light things today. Let's chet about that another time. Yeah, 223 00:11:51,735 --> 00:11:53,815 Speaker 3: to try and just move things along. 224 00:11:54,375 --> 00:11:57,255 Speaker 1: Finally, if you Sarah, obviously a lot of kids coming 225 00:11:57,295 --> 00:11:59,895 Speaker 1: on to school holidays now, they're at home a lot more, 226 00:11:59,895 --> 00:12:02,855 Speaker 1: they're in front of televisions a lot more. What would 227 00:12:02,895 --> 00:12:06,055 Speaker 1: you say to parents who are struggling to talk to 228 00:12:06,095 --> 00:12:07,975 Speaker 1: their kids at the moment about what they're no doubt 229 00:12:08,015 --> 00:12:09,095 Speaker 1: seeing in the news. 230 00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:12,415 Speaker 3: You know, I think kids are a lot more resilient 231 00:12:13,095 --> 00:12:17,135 Speaker 3: than we give them credit for, and sometimes, with the 232 00:12:17,135 --> 00:12:20,535 Speaker 3: best intentions of protecting our children, we try to shield 233 00:12:20,655 --> 00:12:25,055 Speaker 3: them from things that really are important for them to 234 00:12:25,135 --> 00:12:28,815 Speaker 3: know and understand in varying degrees. And so I really 235 00:12:28,975 --> 00:12:32,375 Speaker 3: would be human in that moment, right, like, this is 236 00:12:32,695 --> 00:12:37,375 Speaker 3: something that's really horrible that's happened, that is affecting everybody, 237 00:12:37,455 --> 00:12:40,415 Speaker 3: not just in this country but worldwide, and we all 238 00:12:40,455 --> 00:12:42,135 Speaker 3: need to take care of each other in this, So 239 00:12:42,775 --> 00:12:45,215 Speaker 3: being able to show them how me as a parent, like, 240 00:12:45,255 --> 00:12:47,255 Speaker 3: it's hard for me to be hearing and listening and 241 00:12:47,295 --> 00:12:50,135 Speaker 3: watching all this stuff, and so I choose to take 242 00:12:50,175 --> 00:12:52,695 Speaker 3: time away from the TV or from social media, And 243 00:12:52,735 --> 00:12:54,855 Speaker 3: this is what I want to encourage with my children, 244 00:12:54,975 --> 00:12:57,895 Speaker 3: you know. So it's kind of showing them how you 245 00:12:57,975 --> 00:13:01,535 Speaker 3: were looking after yourself in this and encouraging them as 246 00:13:01,615 --> 00:13:04,135 Speaker 3: role modeling really of how do we just be kind 247 00:13:04,135 --> 00:13:06,175 Speaker 3: to each other? Have you checked in on your friends. 248 00:13:06,575 --> 00:13:09,295 Speaker 3: Have you guys been, you know, looking out for each other? 249 00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,694 Speaker 3: Are there any people that you know that are affected, 250 00:13:11,775 --> 00:13:14,295 Speaker 3: and you know, are you giving your friends that space 251 00:13:14,375 --> 00:13:17,055 Speaker 3: and support that they need and really doing that the 252 00:13:17,054 --> 00:13:19,375 Speaker 3: same as yourself as a parent. It's not so much 253 00:13:19,455 --> 00:13:22,135 Speaker 3: about sugaring it up or making it seem not as 254 00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:24,375 Speaker 3: bad as it is. It's like, this is really horrible, 255 00:13:24,495 --> 00:13:27,334 Speaker 3: and out of something really horrible, there's also some really 256 00:13:27,375 --> 00:13:29,855 Speaker 3: amazing human things that we can see out of it. 257 00:13:29,895 --> 00:13:31,415 Speaker 3: And this is what my part is in that, and 258 00:13:31,415 --> 00:13:33,255 Speaker 3: this is what your part can be in that. So 259 00:13:33,255 --> 00:13:36,215 Speaker 3: it's giving purpose and meaning to even kids and adults 260 00:13:36,215 --> 00:13:36,975 Speaker 3: in this situation. 261 00:13:40,295 --> 00:13:42,335 Speaker 1: If you're feeling like you want to hit fast forward 262 00:13:42,375 --> 00:13:44,574 Speaker 1: into the new year, look I don't blame you, and 263 00:13:44,775 --> 00:13:47,054 Speaker 1: I do think you wouldn't be alone in that endeavor, 264 00:13:47,655 --> 00:13:50,095 Speaker 1: But just what actually is in store for twenty twenty six. 265 00:13:50,895 --> 00:13:54,855 Speaker 1: In numerology, this will be the universal year one, which 266 00:13:54,935 --> 00:13:58,135 Speaker 1: basically means we're kicking off a fresh nine year cycle, 267 00:13:58,375 --> 00:14:02,655 Speaker 1: a reset, new ideas, new momentum. It's also the Chinese 268 00:14:02,735 --> 00:14:05,215 Speaker 1: year of the Horse, a sign known for its drive 269 00:14:05,815 --> 00:14:08,655 Speaker 1: moves and taking risks, and it's also a big year 270 00:14:08,735 --> 00:14:13,935 Speaker 1: for milestones. Abbas hit Dancing Queen was released fifty years 271 00:14:13,975 --> 00:14:17,615 Speaker 1: ago as a single in nineteen seventy six from the 272 00:14:17,655 --> 00:14:20,775 Speaker 1: silver screen. It marks the twenty fifth anniversaries for both 273 00:14:20,775 --> 00:14:24,615 Speaker 1: Space Jam and the first Harry Potter film, which makes 274 00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:28,135 Speaker 1: me feel terribly old. It would have been Marilyn Monroe's 275 00:14:28,135 --> 00:14:34,575 Speaker 1: one hundredth birthday come June one, and in April, Apple 276 00:14:34,695 --> 00:14:38,335 Speaker 1: will celebrate its fiftieth year. Safe to say, they've come 277 00:14:38,455 --> 00:14:41,255 Speaker 1: a very long way from humble beginnings in a garage 278 00:14:41,335 --> 00:14:44,895 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. So what else can we expect in 279 00:14:44,935 --> 00:14:48,335 Speaker 1: the coming twelve months? We rallied the brightest and best 280 00:14:48,415 --> 00:14:51,655 Speaker 1: to find out just what is in store. Let's start 281 00:14:51,695 --> 00:14:55,255 Speaker 1: with the inside lap from Tinseltown with Mamma MIA's entertainment 282 00:14:55,375 --> 00:14:59,175 Speaker 1: editor Tina Burke. What do we already know is coming 283 00:14:59,175 --> 00:15:02,255 Speaker 1: down the pipeline in terms of film and TV? What 284 00:15:02,295 --> 00:15:03,455 Speaker 1: are people excited about? 285 00:15:03,815 --> 00:15:06,735 Speaker 5: People might think that we've always been in a superhero time, 286 00:15:06,815 --> 00:15:09,615 Speaker 5: but next year is really a superhero time, like we're 287 00:15:09,615 --> 00:15:12,215 Speaker 5: doing it all. So next year there will be Supergirl, 288 00:15:12,255 --> 00:15:14,295 Speaker 5: which is the follow on from Superman, which came out 289 00:15:14,295 --> 00:15:16,655 Speaker 5: this year, So that is actually starring an Aussie Millie 290 00:15:16,695 --> 00:15:18,735 Speaker 5: from House of the Dragon if you don't know, So 291 00:15:18,815 --> 00:15:21,655 Speaker 5: the Supergirl film will come out. Avengers Doomsday, Spider Man, 292 00:15:21,695 --> 00:15:24,215 Speaker 5: Brand New Day, which is actually reuniting Tom Hollanden's and 293 00:15:24,295 --> 00:15:25,175 Speaker 5: Day are on our screens. 294 00:15:25,255 --> 00:15:26,095 Speaker 1: Thank goodness for that. 295 00:15:26,135 --> 00:15:28,575 Speaker 5: Thank goodness. We're also getting like Masters of the Universe, 296 00:15:28,615 --> 00:15:31,135 Speaker 5: which is about the he Man character, So there's some 297 00:15:31,215 --> 00:15:34,575 Speaker 5: new characters but some old favorites. Avengers Doomsday is combining 298 00:15:34,655 --> 00:15:38,935 Speaker 5: like forty one of the biggest Avengers superheroes new and 299 00:15:38,975 --> 00:15:40,855 Speaker 5: old that we've ever seen on our screen, so that'll 300 00:15:40,855 --> 00:15:44,335 Speaker 5: be really interesting. But we've also got some other favorites 301 00:15:44,455 --> 00:15:47,455 Speaker 5: like twenty eight Years Later, the Bone Temple, the Hunger 302 00:15:47,455 --> 00:15:49,575 Speaker 5: Game Summarise on the Reaping, which tells the story of 303 00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:52,175 Speaker 5: Hamage Abernathy. If you've seen The Hunger Games, that's the 304 00:15:52,175 --> 00:15:55,175 Speaker 5: blonde character played by Woody Harrelson, so it's his prequel. 305 00:15:55,255 --> 00:15:57,895 Speaker 5: We've also got Fokkers in Law, which is like yet 306 00:15:57,935 --> 00:16:01,295 Speaker 5: another of perfect response to Meet the Parents, and Ariana 307 00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:03,535 Speaker 5: Grande is starring in that one, so that's pretty exciting. 308 00:16:03,655 --> 00:16:05,935 Speaker 1: That's the sequel that I can do, and I think 309 00:16:05,935 --> 00:16:07,775 Speaker 1: it's probably necessary. 310 00:16:07,415 --> 00:16:10,335 Speaker 5: Exactly so important to get done totally. And we're getting 311 00:16:10,335 --> 00:16:12,375 Speaker 5: a lot of like renewed seasons of favorites, so the 312 00:16:12,415 --> 00:16:15,175 Speaker 5: Pit season two, bridgeton season four. We're also getting a 313 00:16:15,295 --> 00:16:17,775 Speaker 5: Night of Seven Kingdoms, which is like another Game of 314 00:16:17,815 --> 00:16:20,535 Speaker 5: Thrones prequel set one hundred years before Game of Thrones. 315 00:16:20,735 --> 00:16:23,295 Speaker 1: Okay, you said a lot of titles. There a lot 316 00:16:23,295 --> 00:16:25,775 Speaker 1: of big names being thrown around. One that you failed 317 00:16:25,775 --> 00:16:28,495 Speaker 1: to mention though, is Wuthering Heights is. 318 00:16:28,735 --> 00:16:31,535 Speaker 5: My personal most anticipated film of twenty twenty six? 319 00:16:31,735 --> 00:16:34,975 Speaker 1: Is so divisive? Is it anticipated because you're looking forward 320 00:16:35,015 --> 00:16:37,095 Speaker 1: to it or you think that it's going to be terrible? 321 00:16:37,495 --> 00:16:40,935 Speaker 5: I have a lot of gripes with this adaptation. However, 322 00:16:41,335 --> 00:16:44,255 Speaker 5: I want to see this movie. It looks beautiful. There 323 00:16:44,255 --> 00:16:45,815 Speaker 5: are so many people who've said, if you don't know 324 00:16:45,815 --> 00:16:47,975 Speaker 5: Whethering Heights is directed by Emerald Fanelle, and they're like, 325 00:16:48,015 --> 00:16:50,695 Speaker 5: she really just should have been like doing screenplays and 326 00:16:50,975 --> 00:16:55,015 Speaker 5: like doing cinematography and non writing movies because the stuff 327 00:16:55,055 --> 00:16:57,615 Speaker 5: that she's creating is beautiful. It is visually so stunning. 328 00:16:57,655 --> 00:16:58,575 Speaker 5: Is it Weathering Heights? 329 00:16:58,895 --> 00:16:59,055 Speaker 2: No? 330 00:17:00,055 --> 00:17:03,415 Speaker 5: But I guess that's her story to tell. There's been 331 00:17:03,415 --> 00:17:05,534 Speaker 5: some very valid criticisms of this film, but I do 332 00:17:05,655 --> 00:17:07,654 Speaker 5: think it's going to be one of the most muscy 333 00:17:07,774 --> 00:17:09,655 Speaker 5: movies of the year, just to see if it's good 334 00:17:09,734 --> 00:17:10,694 Speaker 5: or bad or what's going on. 335 00:17:10,854 --> 00:17:13,534 Speaker 1: Yeah, the curiosity has spiked in me. We'll have to 336 00:17:13,574 --> 00:17:16,895 Speaker 1: debrief when it finally comes out in February. All right, Finally, 337 00:17:17,014 --> 00:17:19,374 Speaker 1: TV one snuck in at the very end of twenty 338 00:17:19,415 --> 00:17:23,254 Speaker 1: twenty five. Is more on the industry side of entertainment news, 339 00:17:23,254 --> 00:17:26,014 Speaker 1: we're talking about this. It's not even a merger. It's 340 00:17:26,094 --> 00:17:29,374 Speaker 1: Netflix acquiring Warner Brothers and all its other properties, so 341 00:17:29,415 --> 00:17:34,094 Speaker 1: the HBO Max and all those universes within WB as well, 342 00:17:34,534 --> 00:17:37,615 Speaker 1: now the TLDR. Can you just run us through what 343 00:17:37,655 --> 00:17:40,455 Speaker 1: this deal is and what the consequences may be. 344 00:17:40,895 --> 00:17:44,254 Speaker 5: Yes, So discussions had actually been like publicly ongoing for 345 00:17:44,294 --> 00:17:46,655 Speaker 5: a little while. So Paramount and Comcast were the other 346 00:17:46,695 --> 00:17:48,975 Speaker 5: two like big players, and people thought Netflix was like 347 00:17:49,014 --> 00:17:51,134 Speaker 5: a little bit of an underdog in buying Warner Brothers 348 00:17:51,215 --> 00:17:54,014 Speaker 5: and HBO and HBO Max. So essentially what they've bought 349 00:17:54,054 --> 00:17:56,134 Speaker 5: for the lolow price of one hundred and eight billion 350 00:17:56,135 --> 00:17:59,534 Speaker 5: Australian dollars seventy two billion USD, they have bought the 351 00:17:59,534 --> 00:18:02,375 Speaker 5: back catalog and all future productions by these three studios, 352 00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:04,895 Speaker 5: which are like known for their premium film and television, 353 00:18:04,935 --> 00:18:07,375 Speaker 5: So that includes It's like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, 354 00:18:07,455 --> 00:18:10,014 Speaker 5: the DC Universe, The White Lotus, Sex and the City. 355 00:18:10,054 --> 00:18:12,254 Speaker 5: All of that is now owned by Netflix, but they're 356 00:18:12,254 --> 00:18:14,455 Speaker 5: also now in charge of all of the future projects. 357 00:18:14,734 --> 00:18:16,814 Speaker 5: So there's been a lot of commentary on like what 358 00:18:16,895 --> 00:18:18,815 Speaker 5: our experience is going to look like in the future, 359 00:18:18,895 --> 00:18:22,215 Speaker 5: because Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has previously kind of said, 360 00:18:22,254 --> 00:18:24,894 Speaker 5: like people prefer to watch at home, like no one 361 00:18:24,895 --> 00:18:26,814 Speaker 5: wants to go to the theater. Who wants to go there? 362 00:18:26,854 --> 00:18:30,014 Speaker 5: He said that like cinema's outdated and outmoded in previous quotes. 363 00:18:30,054 --> 00:18:31,975 Speaker 5: So for a lot of people, this is a quite 364 00:18:32,094 --> 00:18:34,254 Speaker 5: upsetting merger. A lot of people like me who love 365 00:18:34,294 --> 00:18:36,174 Speaker 5: to go to the theater and like watch a film, 366 00:18:36,294 --> 00:18:39,134 Speaker 5: a lot of people who like independent art to get through, 367 00:18:39,175 --> 00:18:41,574 Speaker 5: a lot of people who like variety in the art 368 00:18:41,614 --> 00:18:43,975 Speaker 5: that they consume. This is concerning because they might have 369 00:18:44,054 --> 00:18:46,855 Speaker 5: a bit of a monopoly on content, so could also 370 00:18:46,854 --> 00:18:49,774 Speaker 5: eliminate jobs. It's gonna worse and work for actors and creatives. 371 00:18:49,814 --> 00:18:52,294 Speaker 5: It will lower their wages, but it might raise prices 372 00:18:52,294 --> 00:18:54,734 Speaker 5: for us the consumer. We don't exactly know how it's 373 00:18:54,774 --> 00:18:57,134 Speaker 5: gonna play out yet with Netflix and HBO Max. Obviously, 374 00:18:57,334 --> 00:18:59,814 Speaker 5: HBO Max is a streaming service that just launched in 375 00:18:59,895 --> 00:19:02,294 Speaker 5: Australia and they very recently. But I think some of 376 00:19:02,334 --> 00:19:04,415 Speaker 5: the concerns do come from the fact that, like when 377 00:19:04,415 --> 00:19:07,975 Speaker 5: Netflix has had these really big, incredible projects like Frankenstein 378 00:19:08,014 --> 00:19:11,175 Speaker 5: recently came out, Knives Out, they gave them cinematic releases, 379 00:19:11,175 --> 00:19:13,734 Speaker 5: but they were quite limited, and some industry insiders on 380 00:19:13,854 --> 00:19:15,614 Speaker 5: Variety were saying that they might be looking at like 381 00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:19,095 Speaker 5: a two week cinema run moving forward, which is just yeah, 382 00:19:19,094 --> 00:19:21,294 Speaker 5: it's pretty upsetting to people who want to go watch 383 00:19:21,375 --> 00:19:23,934 Speaker 5: great content. We're still gonna have movies and cinemas, but 384 00:19:24,014 --> 00:19:26,014 Speaker 5: it is worrying to a lot of people. 385 00:19:25,935 --> 00:19:26,534 Speaker 4: And to me too. 386 00:19:26,574 --> 00:19:29,254 Speaker 5: I think it's concerning when one company has control of everything, 387 00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:31,494 Speaker 5: but it's not the first time we've seen it. Disney 388 00:19:31,534 --> 00:19:34,254 Speaker 5: famously owns almost every other platform. 389 00:19:34,375 --> 00:19:39,734 Speaker 1: Well they're Marvel, Lucasfilms, Yell all the things, all the things, 390 00:19:39,814 --> 00:19:41,734 Speaker 1: so and like they own Disney plus Hulu, like they 391 00:19:41,734 --> 00:19:43,855 Speaker 1: have their different versions that are all owned by them. 392 00:19:43,975 --> 00:19:46,855 Speaker 5: So we've seen this somewhat before. But I do understand 393 00:19:46,854 --> 00:19:47,935 Speaker 5: the concerns absolutely. 394 00:19:48,415 --> 00:19:53,014 Speaker 1: Look, it's no secret work, completely and utterly intrigued, sometimes concerned, 395 00:19:53,175 --> 00:19:58,095 Speaker 1: and always curious about what will happen next in Trump's America. Luckily, 396 00:19:58,334 --> 00:20:03,334 Speaker 1: US correspondent Emelia Lester has a few thoughts, Amelia, You 397 00:20:03,415 --> 00:20:07,454 Speaker 1: and I wax lyricall about Donald Trump more time than 398 00:20:07,455 --> 00:20:09,134 Speaker 1: I can count in twenty twenty five? 399 00:20:09,215 --> 00:20:12,814 Speaker 4: Is it lyrical? Or is it less melodious than that? 400 00:20:13,695 --> 00:20:18,334 Speaker 1: We waxed? Waxed we did? Indeed, how would you sum 401 00:20:18,455 --> 00:20:20,855 Speaker 1: up if you could in a nutshell Trump's twenty twenty five? 402 00:20:20,935 --> 00:20:24,054 Speaker 4: Oh, he had a great twenty twenty five. So he 403 00:20:24,294 --> 00:20:27,254 Speaker 4: obviously won the election in November twenty twenty four, but 404 00:20:27,294 --> 00:20:30,975 Speaker 4: then came in with a very glitzy inauguration, with all 405 00:20:31,094 --> 00:20:34,375 Speaker 4: the tech bros coming into Washington lining up to pay 406 00:20:35,094 --> 00:20:39,375 Speaker 4: homage to him, paying for very glitzy inauguration balls. Then 407 00:20:39,415 --> 00:20:42,175 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court just kept ruling in his favor. Lower 408 00:20:42,215 --> 00:20:44,655 Speaker 4: courts kept saying no, you can't do that, you can't 409 00:20:44,655 --> 00:20:47,135 Speaker 4: do this, But then the Supreme Court kept issuing what's 410 00:20:47,175 --> 00:20:49,615 Speaker 4: called stays, saying no, that seems fine, you can keep 411 00:20:49,614 --> 00:20:54,534 Speaker 4: doing that. Managed to enact a highly restrictive immigration agenda 412 00:20:54,614 --> 00:20:58,415 Speaker 4: that is already being felt around the nation. Russell Vote, 413 00:20:58,455 --> 00:21:01,135 Speaker 4: who is the guy who runs the Office of Management 414 00:21:01,135 --> 00:21:03,094 Speaker 4: and Budget at the White House, which is a very boring, 415 00:21:03,135 --> 00:21:06,054 Speaker 4: suning office, is enacting a plan that was set in 416 00:21:06,054 --> 00:21:08,415 Speaker 4: place by the Heritage Foundation, a right wing think tank 417 00:21:08,455 --> 00:21:11,374 Speaker 4: before Trump was elected, to kind of winnoor down government 418 00:21:11,415 --> 00:21:14,374 Speaker 4: to its bare minimum, make sure that government's not spending 419 00:21:14,415 --> 00:21:17,014 Speaker 4: any money that it doesn't have to on the underprivileged 420 00:21:17,094 --> 00:21:20,455 Speaker 4: or people who need it. So I think ideologically, practically 421 00:21:20,814 --> 00:21:22,655 Speaker 4: he had a real winner of a year. 422 00:21:23,014 --> 00:21:25,494 Speaker 1: Okay, So then how does he top it in twenty 423 00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:27,494 Speaker 1: twenty six? I mean, what are the big ticket agenda 424 00:21:27,534 --> 00:21:29,734 Speaker 1: items do you think Trump will be looking at this year. 425 00:21:30,094 --> 00:21:32,855 Speaker 4: He's got a couple of really big Supreme Court decisions 426 00:21:32,895 --> 00:21:35,055 Speaker 4: that he's going to be waiting on. One of them, 427 00:21:35,094 --> 00:21:38,695 Speaker 4: which isn't going to be expected until June, concerns whether 428 00:21:38,774 --> 00:21:42,775 Speaker 4: or not he can fire the heads of independent watchdog agencies. 429 00:21:42,935 --> 00:21:46,655 Speaker 4: You would think that by definition, independent watchdog agencies should 430 00:21:46,734 --> 00:21:51,295 Speaker 4: be independent of government or partisan interference, but the Supreme 431 00:21:51,334 --> 00:21:53,415 Speaker 4: Court has made it pretty clear that they think that's 432 00:21:53,455 --> 00:21:56,014 Speaker 4: not really the case. So he will be watching for 433 00:21:56,094 --> 00:21:59,614 Speaker 4: that June decision. There'll be other big immigration cases before 434 00:21:59,655 --> 00:22:05,295 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. The White House renovations will continue apace, okay, 435 00:22:05,614 --> 00:22:08,975 Speaker 4: And I saw that he's fired the architects who were 436 00:22:09,014 --> 00:22:11,494 Speaker 4: in charge. I guess because they didn't want to make 437 00:22:11,494 --> 00:22:13,494 Speaker 4: the ballroom quite as big as he wants to make 438 00:22:13,534 --> 00:22:14,175 Speaker 4: the ballroom. 439 00:22:14,494 --> 00:22:17,734 Speaker 1: Is there a reality where Trump is eventually about to 440 00:22:17,854 --> 00:22:20,254 Speaker 1: leave office and the renovations are still ongoing. 441 00:22:20,854 --> 00:22:23,974 Speaker 4: There is that reality, in fact, that would be very 442 00:22:24,294 --> 00:22:28,975 Speaker 4: consistent with Trump construction projects throughout history. They'll probably have 443 00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:31,254 Speaker 4: to bankrupt the US government just to make it seem 444 00:22:31,294 --> 00:22:33,895 Speaker 4: really on par. But the other big thing he does 445 00:22:33,975 --> 00:22:35,694 Speaker 4: have to watch out for in twenty twenty six is 446 00:22:35,734 --> 00:22:38,655 Speaker 4: the midterms. So these come in November, and these are 447 00:22:38,695 --> 00:22:41,414 Speaker 4: constructed in US politics as a way to kind of 448 00:22:41,774 --> 00:22:45,455 Speaker 4: check in on how the people feel about the president 449 00:22:45,774 --> 00:22:48,734 Speaker 4: and his approval ratings are very low right now and 450 00:22:48,975 --> 00:22:52,095 Speaker 4: the House. Republican control in the House is hanging by 451 00:22:52,175 --> 00:22:56,294 Speaker 4: a thread, so no one would be very surprised if 452 00:22:56,415 --> 00:22:58,694 Speaker 4: the Republicans lose control of the House, which would be 453 00:22:58,695 --> 00:23:00,814 Speaker 4: a huge deal. It means that he can no longer 454 00:23:00,935 --> 00:23:03,774 Speaker 4: push through any legislation he wants the Senate. It's a 455 00:23:03,814 --> 00:23:05,975 Speaker 4: tough map for Democrats. I don't think that they will 456 00:23:05,975 --> 00:23:08,455 Speaker 4: win control in the Senate, but that House loss could 457 00:23:08,494 --> 00:23:09,135 Speaker 4: be a big deal. 458 00:23:09,614 --> 00:23:11,614 Speaker 1: Okay, and last one for you a million. We know 459 00:23:11,655 --> 00:23:14,254 Speaker 1: that A big focus for Trump in twenty twenty five 460 00:23:14,534 --> 00:23:17,494 Speaker 1: was getting his name on the Nobel Peace Prize. Now 461 00:23:17,534 --> 00:23:20,814 Speaker 1: that didn't quite come off for him. However, he did 462 00:23:20,854 --> 00:23:23,814 Speaker 1: manage to wind up last year with a different kind 463 00:23:23,854 --> 00:23:28,135 Speaker 1: of peace prize. FIFA decided that they needed to create 464 00:23:28,215 --> 00:23:31,134 Speaker 1: the FIFA for Peace Prize, and he's the first recipient. 465 00:23:31,094 --> 00:23:35,254 Speaker 4: Allegedly the world's most corrup sports body allegedly, thank. 466 00:23:35,014 --> 00:23:37,375 Speaker 1: You for popping the allegedly in there. And they will 467 00:23:37,415 --> 00:23:40,854 Speaker 1: of course host the FIFA Men's World Cup alongside Canada 468 00:23:40,895 --> 00:23:43,935 Speaker 1: and Mexico in twenty twenty six, so you know, it's 469 00:23:44,014 --> 00:23:47,135 Speaker 1: our peace Prize. Maybe he'll get the real deal this year. 470 00:23:47,334 --> 00:23:50,294 Speaker 4: He angered a lot of Americans when he was accepting 471 00:23:50,294 --> 00:23:52,494 Speaker 4: that prize. He mused out loud about whether or not 472 00:23:52,534 --> 00:23:57,014 Speaker 4: American football should be renamed so that there wasn't confusion 473 00:23:57,054 --> 00:23:59,615 Speaker 4: with what Americans call soccer, which is football. 474 00:23:59,614 --> 00:24:02,215 Speaker 1: It's like the reverse of the Gulf of Mexico conversation that. 475 00:24:02,254 --> 00:24:06,455 Speaker 4: He had verse. Yes, it really made people angry with them. 476 00:24:06,614 --> 00:24:09,374 Speaker 1: Okay, But maybe the most important question from this episode 477 00:24:09,655 --> 00:24:12,695 Speaker 1: what will we be wearing this year? Host of Nothing 478 00:24:12,734 --> 00:24:16,975 Speaker 1: to where Lucinder Pickett has got you covered? Listender, how 479 00:24:16,975 --> 00:24:19,854 Speaker 1: would you describe what we saw in terms of fashion 480 00:24:19,935 --> 00:24:21,294 Speaker 1: trends for twenty twenty five. 481 00:24:21,895 --> 00:24:24,774 Speaker 6: I think there's always been an undercurrent of quiet luxury 482 00:24:24,814 --> 00:24:27,095 Speaker 6: at play. We saw it a lot within twenty twenty four, 483 00:24:27,135 --> 00:24:29,894 Speaker 6: which carried through to twenty twenty five. But we started 484 00:24:29,895 --> 00:24:34,934 Speaker 6: seeing a bit more experimentation with quite maximalism and adding 485 00:24:34,975 --> 00:24:39,375 Speaker 6: some color and different fabrications to our wardrobes. So red 486 00:24:39,455 --> 00:24:42,135 Speaker 6: was really big polka dots, starting to play around with 487 00:24:42,375 --> 00:24:44,975 Speaker 6: more exciting and dramatic accessories. 488 00:24:45,175 --> 00:24:48,014 Speaker 1: Okay, and this is something that you're probably sick of 489 00:24:48,054 --> 00:24:51,134 Speaker 1: having to talk about. I was told numerous times twenty 490 00:24:51,175 --> 00:24:53,534 Speaker 1: twenty five, the skinny jen is back. 491 00:24:53,614 --> 00:24:53,894 Speaker 6: Yeah. 492 00:24:54,175 --> 00:24:55,975 Speaker 1: Can you confirm that's actually what happened? 493 00:24:56,135 --> 00:24:56,375 Speaker 3: Yes? 494 00:24:56,455 --> 00:25:00,455 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I personally love a skinny jean. The thing with jeans, like, 495 00:25:00,534 --> 00:25:03,414 Speaker 6: jeans are pretty evergreen. They're always going to be around, 496 00:25:03,455 --> 00:25:06,494 Speaker 6: and it's whatever style you're wearing or whatever style or 497 00:25:06,534 --> 00:25:08,774 Speaker 6: cut you like you can sort of style it to 498 00:25:08,854 --> 00:25:11,814 Speaker 6: make it modern. So skinny jeans were always a little 499 00:25:11,854 --> 00:25:14,414 Speaker 6: bit cringe because of how they were styled. You know, Millennials, 500 00:25:14,415 --> 00:25:17,054 Speaker 6: we were with like the boot and then a tight top. 501 00:25:17,254 --> 00:25:19,614 Speaker 6: But now we're seeing the skinny jean, but with like 502 00:25:19,695 --> 00:25:22,334 Speaker 6: more of an oversized top, so playing around with silhouettes. 503 00:25:22,415 --> 00:25:25,014 Speaker 6: But yeah, skinny jeans back. And I'd hate to say it, 504 00:25:25,094 --> 00:25:26,734 Speaker 6: but twenty twenty six, we're going to see a lot 505 00:25:26,734 --> 00:25:29,254 Speaker 6: of the rip jeans. And even we've seen low rise 506 00:25:29,334 --> 00:25:31,614 Speaker 6: jeans in twenty twenty five, they're going to be ultra 507 00:25:31,695 --> 00:25:34,415 Speaker 6: low rise jeans in twenty twenty six. So I think, 508 00:25:34,455 --> 00:25:36,054 Speaker 6: like Christina Aguilera. 509 00:25:35,774 --> 00:25:37,774 Speaker 1: Vibes, okay, I'm going to have to like buy a 510 00:25:37,814 --> 00:25:40,534 Speaker 1: thong to make sure that it coordinates. Okay, what else 511 00:25:40,574 --> 00:25:42,254 Speaker 1: we're going to be wearing in twenty twenty six. 512 00:25:42,254 --> 00:25:45,695 Speaker 6: Will continue seeing a lot of accessories at play, and 513 00:25:45,734 --> 00:25:48,615 Speaker 6: I think this is just a demonstration of the economic 514 00:25:48,655 --> 00:25:50,855 Speaker 6: climate that's happening at the moment. So it's a nice 515 00:25:50,975 --> 00:25:54,254 Speaker 6: entry point into fashion. So rather than buying an investment 516 00:25:54,375 --> 00:25:57,415 Speaker 6: jacket or some trousers, if people want to play within fashion, 517 00:25:57,534 --> 00:26:00,054 Speaker 6: it's buying a charm or something for an accessory for 518 00:26:00,215 --> 00:26:03,094 Speaker 6: their bag. It could be a head scarf or whatnot. 519 00:26:03,334 --> 00:26:06,334 Speaker 6: Speaking of scarves, scars, we saw in twenty twenty five, 520 00:26:06,494 --> 00:26:09,014 Speaker 6: the end of twenty twenty five of Copenhagen Fashion Week 521 00:26:09,254 --> 00:26:11,294 Speaker 6: the silk scarf band Downer. I don't know if you've 522 00:26:11,294 --> 00:26:11,854 Speaker 6: seen that one. 523 00:26:11,734 --> 00:26:13,574 Speaker 1: I'm wearing them as belts. 524 00:26:13,294 --> 00:26:15,294 Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's going to become a little bit more 525 00:26:15,574 --> 00:26:18,655 Speaker 6: mass commercialized. So seeing it trickle down to like your 526 00:26:18,655 --> 00:26:22,374 Speaker 6: glassons and not just be a scarf that you create 527 00:26:22,455 --> 00:26:24,975 Speaker 6: as an accessory. It'll be sort of that style of 528 00:26:25,054 --> 00:26:27,054 Speaker 6: skirt that you'd be buying. So it looks like there's 529 00:26:27,054 --> 00:26:28,975 Speaker 6: a scarf over the top, but it's actually just part 530 00:26:29,014 --> 00:26:29,615 Speaker 6: of the design. 531 00:26:29,854 --> 00:26:33,254 Speaker 1: Okay. And final one for you question without notice the 532 00:26:33,254 --> 00:26:39,094 Speaker 1: Pantone color of the Cloud Dancer aka White Thoughts, Feelings, opinions. 533 00:26:39,534 --> 00:26:41,615 Speaker 6: I don't mind it because the thing with Pantone, it's 534 00:26:41,655 --> 00:26:44,455 Speaker 6: not just fashion like, this is a color that every 535 00:26:44,494 --> 00:26:48,254 Speaker 6: category within trends works with. So they'll be interior designers 536 00:26:48,334 --> 00:26:50,814 Speaker 6: right now, they'll be wallpaper designers looking at this color 537 00:26:50,854 --> 00:26:52,974 Speaker 6: being like, right, how do we use it? It's just 538 00:26:53,014 --> 00:26:57,335 Speaker 6: a directional theme, I suppose, and I sort of see 539 00:26:57,375 --> 00:26:59,375 Speaker 6: it as a clean slate. 540 00:26:59,975 --> 00:27:01,294 Speaker 1: With Fashion Week. 541 00:27:01,334 --> 00:27:04,094 Speaker 6: This year, we had fifteen new creative directors and I 542 00:27:04,135 --> 00:27:07,934 Speaker 6: think that's just fifteen fresh eyes on fashion and the 543 00:27:07,975 --> 00:27:10,814 Speaker 6: direction fashion is going. So I feel like the white 544 00:27:10,895 --> 00:27:14,134 Speaker 6: and the cloud downcer akas wine is just as symbol 545 00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:16,814 Speaker 6: as a fresh start within fashion, So I don't mind it. 546 00:27:18,254 --> 00:27:20,614 Speaker 1: Thanks for taking some time to feed your mind with 547 00:27:20,695 --> 00:27:23,414 Speaker 1: us today.
