I know. 39 00:02:19,344 --> 00:02:20,784 Speaker 2: We'd look at the Yellow House. 40 00:02:23,584 --> 00:02:26,584 Speaker 1: I came here to find myself. A lot of stuff 41 00:02:26,624 --> 00:02:28,944 Speaker 1: went down in New York. My ex boyfriend is living 42 00:02:28,984 --> 00:02:33,544 Speaker 1: with another woman right now. Yeah, I want you to 43 00:02:33,544 --> 00:02:36,584 Speaker 1: cut their heads off and sew them back on, looking 44 00:02:36,664 --> 00:02:37,744 Speaker 1: in a big blue eyes. 45 00:02:38,304 --> 00:02:39,544 Speaker 3: Is he who he says he is. 46 00:02:40,664 --> 00:02:43,224 Speaker 2: This has all just been a series of redflex Do 47 00:02:43,304 --> 00:02:45,824 Speaker 2: you think you're so special? I get that it's hard 48 00:02:45,824 --> 00:02:48,184 Speaker 2: for you, but like it's hard for fucking everyone. Okay, 49 00:02:48,944 --> 00:02:50,424 Speaker 2: I wanted to be in bed with like a few 50 00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:53,664 Speaker 2: grant from the British Jones Diaries. Would you say British Jones. 51 00:02:53,744 --> 00:02:56,424 Speaker 1: Now there's four of them. Yeah, it's not called British Jones. 52 00:02:56,664 --> 00:03:01,384 Speaker 1: She's British. Now. We both love the show. Actually, the 53 00:03:01,424 --> 00:03:04,424 Speaker 1: whole office loves this show. We've had a really good 54 00:03:04,424 --> 00:03:07,744 Speaker 1: feedback on it. If you're familiar with Lena Dunams's work before, 55 00:03:07,864 --> 00:03:10,704 Speaker 1: she obviously did Girls back in the twenty tents, I 56 00:03:10,784 --> 00:03:14,304 Speaker 1: will say that too Much, particularly the first episode, is 57 00:03:14,464 --> 00:03:17,384 Speaker 1: very Girls coded, And what I mean by that is 58 00:03:17,424 --> 00:03:19,904 Speaker 1: the humor is the same, which makes sense because Lena 59 00:03:20,104 --> 00:03:23,504 Speaker 1: is writing it, directing it, so her voice is very 60 00:03:23,544 --> 00:03:28,264 Speaker 1: much all over this. However, Too Much goes deeper than 61 00:03:28,304 --> 00:03:31,384 Speaker 1: Girls did. Now it's ten episodes. Each episode's about an 62 00:03:31,424 --> 00:03:35,824 Speaker 1: hour now. It stars Megan Statler, who is who plays Jessica. 63 00:03:35,904 --> 00:03:38,424 Speaker 1: She's in her early thirties. She just breaks up with 64 00:03:38,464 --> 00:03:41,624 Speaker 1: her ex boyfriend and decides to kind of shake things up. 65 00:03:41,624 --> 00:03:43,944 Speaker 1: A bit and move to London, and her first night 66 00:03:43,984 --> 00:03:48,544 Speaker 1: in London she meets a very handsome musician called Felix 67 00:03:48,584 --> 00:03:51,544 Speaker 1: played by Will Sharp, and they have this love affair. 68 00:03:52,464 --> 00:03:55,144 Speaker 1: It's really funny, but it's not a rom com. 69 00:03:55,824 --> 00:03:57,504 Speaker 2: Yes, I think that's the important thing. Like at the 70 00:03:57,544 --> 00:03:59,584 Speaker 2: top of my review, I'm kind of hammard this thing 71 00:03:59,624 --> 00:04:01,784 Speaker 2: of like I don't want it to be like Materialists, 72 00:04:01,784 --> 00:04:03,784 Speaker 2: where people go into something because they've watched half the 73 00:04:03,824 --> 00:04:06,464 Speaker 2: trailer and they think it's a frothy rom com and 74 00:04:06,544 --> 00:04:09,304 Speaker 2: it's got comedic elements and love elements, but it is 75 00:04:09,384 --> 00:04:11,984 Speaker 2: also a drama at its core. In saying that, though 76 00:04:12,024 --> 00:04:15,544 Speaker 2: I found the humor, like, Megan Sttles's performance is so good. 77 00:04:15,544 --> 00:04:16,904 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people fell in love with 78 00:04:16,944 --> 00:04:19,064 Speaker 2: her in Hacks. She's like the breakout star of that. 79 00:04:19,584 --> 00:04:22,344 Speaker 2: She is so compelling funny in this. Lena Dunam's writing 80 00:04:22,424 --> 00:04:24,464 Speaker 2: is so funny. It's a lot of physical humor, a 81 00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:27,144 Speaker 2: lot of pop culture based humor, which I love. And 82 00:04:27,464 --> 00:04:31,184 Speaker 2: it's basically Yeah, she is in New York, she has 83 00:04:31,504 --> 00:04:34,624 Speaker 2: ended a long term relationship, she doesn't know what to do. 84 00:04:34,704 --> 00:04:36,984 Speaker 2: She gets sent to London. This is where the rom 85 00:04:37,024 --> 00:04:39,464 Speaker 2: com factor comes in because that sort of stuff only 86 00:04:39,504 --> 00:04:41,544 Speaker 2: happens in movies and TV shows. Can I just say, 87 00:04:41,584 --> 00:04:43,664 Speaker 2: my life has also got off the rails many times, 88 00:04:43,704 --> 00:04:45,344 Speaker 2: and no one Mum and me has sent me to 89 00:04:45,424 --> 00:04:48,144 Speaker 2: London or Emily in Paris or anything like that. So 90 00:04:48,184 --> 00:04:49,664 Speaker 2: I'm just saying we need to kind of kick that 91 00:04:49,744 --> 00:04:52,264 Speaker 2: up a notch. And Lena Dunnan did say that she 92 00:04:52,464 --> 00:04:55,184 Speaker 2: is a huge lover of rom comms and that was 93 00:04:55,504 --> 00:04:58,184 Speaker 2: a bit of the catalyst for this story. It's also 94 00:04:58,264 --> 00:05:02,064 Speaker 2: from the producers of movies like Notting Hill and Love Actually, 95 00:05:02,144 --> 00:05:04,504 Speaker 2: so you do have those elements dotted through there. It's 96 00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:07,704 Speaker 2: also very loosely based on Lena Dunham's own love story 97 00:05:07,984 --> 00:05:10,584 Speaker 2: when she had been through a huge break up with 98 00:05:10,664 --> 00:05:13,824 Speaker 2: Jack Antonov. She went to London and met Louis Felber 99 00:05:13,904 --> 00:05:16,464 Speaker 2: and they had this whirlwind romance and now they're married. 100 00:05:16,744 --> 00:05:19,224 Speaker 2: Doesn't exactly play out the same way in the show, 101 00:05:19,264 --> 00:05:20,624 Speaker 2: like I want to get into what happens in their 102 00:05:20,824 --> 00:05:23,704 Speaker 2: characters for spoilers, but it is that kind of idea 103 00:05:23,744 --> 00:05:27,064 Speaker 2: of like an American and a British man falling in love. 104 00:05:27,264 --> 00:05:30,584 Speaker 2: But it's just such a good show. I just devoured 105 00:05:30,624 --> 00:05:32,144 Speaker 2: and inhaled every second of it. 106 00:05:32,304 --> 00:05:34,264 Speaker 1: So what I will say about this, it's because it's 107 00:05:34,264 --> 00:05:37,304 Speaker 1: ten episodes. Each episode is quite long. Yeah, I would 108 00:05:37,304 --> 00:05:39,584 Speaker 1: say take your time with it. I don't normally say 109 00:05:39,584 --> 00:05:42,264 Speaker 1: to people, don't binge because I'm a huge binger when 110 00:05:42,304 --> 00:05:45,304 Speaker 1: it comes to TV, but take your time. Let each 111 00:05:45,304 --> 00:05:48,744 Speaker 1: episode digest because they do kind of sit quite on 112 00:05:48,784 --> 00:05:49,304 Speaker 1: their own. 113 00:05:49,464 --> 00:05:51,704 Speaker 2: There's a lot of storyline, a lot of plot happening. 114 00:05:51,744 --> 00:05:53,064 Speaker 2: Like I had to speed through a few of them, 115 00:05:53,104 --> 00:05:55,344 Speaker 2: but you do sometimes have to give yourself a moment 116 00:05:55,424 --> 00:05:58,344 Speaker 2: to process what happened in each episode because it's a lot. 117 00:05:58,624 --> 00:06:01,144 Speaker 1: It is a lot, and it's really well written. The 118 00:06:01,184 --> 00:06:06,144 Speaker 1: British humor American humor kind of meshes together. Lena Duneham 119 00:06:06,344 --> 00:06:09,424 Speaker 1: is in it as the older sister of Jessica. But yes, 120 00:06:09,584 --> 00:06:13,704 Speaker 1: really great show. Absolutely loved it, so get on watching that, 121 00:06:13,824 --> 00:06:14,824 Speaker 1: but watch it slowly. 122 00:06:14,904 --> 00:06:17,944 Speaker 2: Please watch it slowly, drink it in yeap. 123 00:06:17,904 --> 00:06:22,384 Speaker 1: Marinate, let it settle and then go to the next app. 124 00:06:22,264 --> 00:06:26,864 Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, the other show that I wanted to recommend 125 00:06:26,864 --> 00:06:28,784 Speaker 2: for this week, bit of a different take, but it's 126 00:06:28,784 --> 00:06:30,944 Speaker 2: for people like me who love a thriller, love a 127 00:06:30,944 --> 00:06:33,344 Speaker 2: bit of horror, love, a bit of sci fi. It 128 00:06:33,504 --> 00:06:36,824 Speaker 2: is The Institute, which is premiering on Stand this weekend, 129 00:06:36,904 --> 00:06:37,704 Speaker 2: July thirteen. 130 00:06:38,184 --> 00:06:42,024 Speaker 1: Your brain and what it can do is a gift 131 00:06:42,824 --> 00:06:48,144 Speaker 1: that knows it didn't come from us. See how far 132 00:06:48,224 --> 00:06:49,104 Speaker 1: it can take you. 133 00:06:51,824 --> 00:06:53,624 Speaker 3: Welcome to the Institute. 134 00:06:56,504 --> 00:06:57,584 Speaker 1: Have we been kidnapped? 135 00:06:58,224 --> 00:06:59,224 Speaker 2: They call it recruited? 136 00:06:59,944 --> 00:07:07,304 Speaker 1: Who's the congratulations for being here? My parents? 137 00:07:07,944 --> 00:07:09,264 Speaker 2: Do they know where I am? 138 00:07:09,464 --> 00:07:10,064 Speaker 3: Are they alive? 139 00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:16,744 Speaker 1: Of course, We're not monsters. Without our work, the world 140 00:07:16,944 --> 00:07:21,264 Speaker 1: as we know it would cease to be. It's my 141 00:07:21,424 --> 00:07:26,304 Speaker 1: responsibility to see that that work gets done. So it 142 00:07:26,344 --> 00:07:28,384 Speaker 1: will get done so. 143 00:07:28,424 --> 00:07:31,544 Speaker 2: The Institute is based on the best selling novel by 144 00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:33,984 Speaker 2: one of my favorite authors in the whole world. I 145 00:07:33,984 --> 00:07:36,424 Speaker 2: don't know if anyone else has heard of him, Stephen King. 146 00:07:37,744 --> 00:07:40,064 Speaker 1: Just the little known authors. Stephen King. 147 00:07:40,224 --> 00:07:42,824 Speaker 2: Yeah, one of his best selling novels. The Institute is 148 00:07:42,824 --> 00:07:46,424 Speaker 2: now a TV series. It's also from the director of 149 00:07:46,624 --> 00:07:49,744 Speaker 2: one of my favorite current TV shows and a show 150 00:07:49,744 --> 00:07:51,544 Speaker 2: that I watch over and over again, even though it 151 00:07:51,624 --> 00:07:54,704 Speaker 2: terrifies me. From It's from the director of From, which 152 00:07:54,704 --> 00:07:56,704 Speaker 2: is also on Stand. And I know I've talked about 153 00:07:56,744 --> 00:07:59,144 Speaker 2: the show before. If you haven't watched that Holy hell, 154 00:07:59,624 --> 00:08:01,584 Speaker 2: and he's also a director on Boss. So all these 155 00:08:01,584 --> 00:08:04,664 Speaker 2: great things they have come together to tell the adaptation 156 00:08:04,744 --> 00:08:07,904 Speaker 2: of this show. So it's this really gripping story about 157 00:08:07,944 --> 00:08:12,064 Speaker 2: this teen prodigy called Luke Ellis who is abducted and 158 00:08:12,104 --> 00:08:14,064 Speaker 2: then he wakes up in the middle of the night 159 00:08:14,104 --> 00:08:16,944 Speaker 2: in this facility with all these other children who have 160 00:08:17,024 --> 00:08:21,904 Speaker 2: been brought there under really sinister and mysterious circumstances. And 161 00:08:21,944 --> 00:08:24,784 Speaker 2: there's this whole thing of like them having supernatural abilities 162 00:08:24,784 --> 00:08:27,584 Speaker 2: and what does it mean and who's really controlling the institute. 163 00:08:27,704 --> 00:08:29,824 Speaker 2: And then there's also this other story happening at a 164 00:08:29,864 --> 00:08:34,224 Speaker 2: nearby town where a police officer called Tim Jamison played 165 00:08:34,224 --> 00:08:37,144 Speaker 2: by Ben barnes Hot is trying to sort of outrun 166 00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:40,464 Speaker 2: his past and his world and Luke's world really collide. 167 00:08:40,544 --> 00:08:42,584 Speaker 2: And I'll just say, if you've read the book, which 168 00:08:42,624 --> 00:08:46,424 Speaker 2: I have, you'll be really pleased and like very invested 169 00:08:46,424 --> 00:08:48,544 Speaker 2: in the series and how they've adapted it. And if 170 00:08:48,584 --> 00:08:51,984 Speaker 2: you haven't read the book, don't look up anything, don't 171 00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:54,704 Speaker 2: watch any videos, don't read any synopsis, don't do anything 172 00:08:54,744 --> 00:08:56,864 Speaker 2: like that. Just watch the series so that you can 173 00:08:56,904 --> 00:08:59,384 Speaker 2: experience all the twists and turns for the first time. 174 00:08:59,544 --> 00:09:04,624 Speaker 1: I actually think Stephen King is the most adapted author. Yeah, 175 00:09:04,624 --> 00:09:07,304 Speaker 1: in Hollywood. I'm I'm certain that that's the stat isn't it. 176 00:09:07,544 --> 00:09:08,344 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. 177 00:09:08,424 --> 00:09:11,424 Speaker 1: He has had more of his books adapted to movies 178 00:09:11,544 --> 00:09:12,944 Speaker 1: than like any other author. 179 00:09:13,104 --> 00:09:15,784 Speaker 2: Oh exactly. And I feel like I. 180 00:09:15,264 --> 00:09:17,624 Speaker 1: Leanne Moriarty might be close second. 181 00:09:17,944 --> 00:09:19,864 Speaker 2: Oh yes. And also the thing is that with Stephen 182 00:09:19,904 --> 00:09:22,384 Speaker 2: King is like it's like TV series movies and he's 183 00:09:22,384 --> 00:09:25,624 Speaker 2: so like also part of like the adaptation of his works. 184 00:09:25,744 --> 00:09:27,384 Speaker 2: I went on a big thing this in the last 185 00:09:27,464 --> 00:09:29,544 Speaker 2: year of making sure that there was no Stephen King 186 00:09:29,584 --> 00:09:31,984 Speaker 2: adaptation in the world that I had left unwatched. So 187 00:09:32,024 --> 00:09:33,784 Speaker 2: I think I've pretty much watched all of them at 188 00:09:33,824 --> 00:09:35,744 Speaker 2: this point in time. So the Institute is top of 189 00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:36,224 Speaker 2: my list. 190 00:09:36,304 --> 00:09:39,824 Speaker 1: How scary is it? Because it is terrifying? I refuse 191 00:09:39,904 --> 00:09:42,824 Speaker 1: to watch it. Oh okay, Like I don't like horror. 192 00:09:43,064 --> 00:09:46,184 Speaker 2: This is not as horror as some of his other adaptations, 193 00:09:46,224 --> 00:09:48,384 Speaker 2: So I would say, yeah, not as intense as it, 194 00:09:48,784 --> 00:09:51,824 Speaker 2: or even like as intense as something like Misery or 195 00:09:52,104 --> 00:09:55,184 Speaker 2: The Stand or anything like that, like the original Salem's Lot, 196 00:09:55,584 --> 00:09:57,824 Speaker 2: very very creepy. I would say, this is sort of 197 00:09:57,904 --> 00:10:00,624 Speaker 2: out of that realm a little bit. It does obviously 198 00:10:00,664 --> 00:10:03,664 Speaker 2: have some tension and some scarce, so maybe you should 199 00:10:03,664 --> 00:10:04,544 Speaker 2: watch it in the daylight. 200 00:10:05,024 --> 00:10:06,464 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not scary movie. 201 00:10:06,504 --> 00:10:08,904 Speaker 2: It's not overly graphic horror. But I mean, the thing 202 00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:12,944 Speaker 2: is it is for people who love thrillers, sci fi, horror. 203 00:10:12,944 --> 00:10:15,144 Speaker 1: That and sci fi. But I don't like horror. 204 00:10:15,544 --> 00:10:19,224 Speaker 2: Okay, Well you'll just have to see watch some episodes 205 00:10:19,224 --> 00:10:20,424 Speaker 2: in the light, is all I'll say. 206 00:10:21,064 --> 00:10:23,024 Speaker 1: Like, you know, I don't watch it with you, kid memore. 207 00:10:23,144 --> 00:10:23,904 Speaker 1: You know the substance. 208 00:10:24,864 --> 00:10:27,744 Speaker 2: I had to skip through the really like that's really 209 00:10:27,784 --> 00:10:30,104 Speaker 2: body horror though, Like I had. 210 00:10:29,944 --> 00:10:32,384 Speaker 1: To skip through, like I really loved the story you 211 00:10:32,504 --> 00:10:33,264 Speaker 1: had to skip through. 212 00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:38,824 Speaker 2: Oh, okay, you'll be okay with this. Just just stop sure, 213 00:10:38,984 --> 00:10:40,704 Speaker 2: just have your hand ready to kind of if you 214 00:10:40,744 --> 00:10:42,384 Speaker 2: have to just sort of pop it down on stage. 215 00:10:42,384 --> 00:10:44,624 Speaker 2: But overall, out of all his works, this is probably 216 00:10:44,784 --> 00:10:46,864 Speaker 2: the best one for you to begin with. So, okay, 217 00:10:46,984 --> 00:10:50,144 Speaker 2: the Institute it's on stand, make sure you watch it. 218 00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:53,224 Speaker 1: Okay. So the final one that we've got is a 219 00:10:53,224 --> 00:10:56,824 Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise for me because I saw 220 00:10:57,024 --> 00:10:59,944 Speaker 1: a lot of posters for this. I've been seeing it everywhere, 221 00:11:00,544 --> 00:11:02,704 Speaker 1: and I have written it off before I even watched 222 00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:05,424 Speaker 1: a trailer or anything, as this is going to be 223 00:11:05,504 --> 00:11:10,224 Speaker 1: terrible because unfortunately a lot of movies from this part 224 00:11:10,344 --> 00:11:13,144 Speaker 1: tequila genre have not been very good. And we're talking 225 00:11:13,224 --> 00:11:16,944 Speaker 1: about DC Universe, We're talking about Superman. 226 00:11:17,104 --> 00:11:28,904 Speaker 3: Superman, the most powerful being on planet Earth. We finally 227 00:11:28,944 --> 00:11:41,144 Speaker 3: meet now as plans, I'll destroy you, and of course 228 00:11:41,464 --> 00:11:43,584 Speaker 3: that reporter you always do interviews with. 229 00:11:45,424 --> 00:11:49,264 Speaker 1: Who raised you as a child, I'll kill them too. 230 00:11:51,704 --> 00:11:56,264 Speaker 1: No matter what you do to me, Luth, your plans 231 00:11:56,264 --> 00:11:56,784 Speaker 1: will work. 232 00:12:00,664 --> 00:12:03,144 Speaker 2: Yes, So I have a very important update for everyone. 233 00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:05,544 Speaker 2: So I know last week I wasn't on Weekend Watch, 234 00:12:05,624 --> 00:12:07,984 Speaker 2: but Tina Burke, who I work very very closely with 235 00:12:08,064 --> 00:12:10,624 Speaker 2: and is the entertainment editor at Mama Mea, was on 236 00:12:10,704 --> 00:12:14,304 Speaker 2: the show here to tell you that Jurassic World Rebirth, 237 00:12:14,344 --> 00:12:17,544 Speaker 2: the new Jurassic Park movie, is pretty terrible, and she 238 00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:19,504 Speaker 2: was saying that cinema is over. 239 00:12:19,904 --> 00:12:21,184 Speaker 1: She's a little bit dramatic. 240 00:12:21,344 --> 00:12:23,584 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she did believe it. She's like, movies 241 00:12:23,664 --> 00:12:26,384 Speaker 2: over Hollywood done. Like I think she wanted to disband 242 00:12:26,384 --> 00:12:28,944 Speaker 2: our entertainment team. She's like movie is done. She and 243 00:12:28,944 --> 00:12:31,784 Speaker 2: I went to the Sydney premiere of Superman this week, 244 00:12:32,144 --> 00:12:34,704 Speaker 2: and we both agree, Cinema's back. It's down. It is 245 00:12:34,744 --> 00:12:37,504 Speaker 2: down for a week. It's come back because this new 246 00:12:37,584 --> 00:12:41,304 Speaker 2: Superman movie was so good. And I can feel some 247 00:12:41,344 --> 00:12:43,064 Speaker 2: of our listeners rolling their eyes and being like, oh 248 00:12:43,144 --> 00:12:45,664 Speaker 2: my god, Laura, you always talk about superhero TV shows 249 00:12:45,664 --> 00:12:48,824 Speaker 2: and movies. You love everything, ra Rah, Not true. I 250 00:12:48,904 --> 00:12:52,424 Speaker 2: love Superman TV shows. Lewis and Clark, the series from 251 00:12:52,464 --> 00:12:56,224 Speaker 2: the nineties with Dan Kvetch so good that I was 252 00:12:56,264 --> 00:12:59,744 Speaker 2: so obsessed with Dank hot hot their chemistry. Again, we're 253 00:12:59,784 --> 00:13:02,384 Speaker 2: watching it as kids. It's very it's very sanitized. It 254 00:13:02,464 --> 00:13:05,224 Speaker 2: is for children in a way that is great. That's 255 00:13:05,264 --> 00:13:06,744 Speaker 2: also more of a rom com, but it's still a 256 00:13:06,784 --> 00:13:11,344 Speaker 2: superhero show. Smallville an incredible TV show for ten seasons, 257 00:13:11,704 --> 00:13:15,024 Speaker 2: every season a banger. All the DC TV shows that 258 00:13:15,104 --> 00:13:19,024 Speaker 2: have with like Tyler Hutchin's version of Superman great, the 259 00:13:19,064 --> 00:13:23,904 Speaker 2: TV shows have Superman sorted movies. The Christopher Reeves ones 260 00:13:23,944 --> 00:13:26,344 Speaker 2: were quite good, but they were like quite iconic. All 261 00:13:26,464 --> 00:13:29,704 Speaker 2: the Superman movies since then, in my professional opinion, kind 262 00:13:29,704 --> 00:13:31,424 Speaker 2: of duds. Yeah, and then I don't know what to 263 00:13:31,424 --> 00:13:34,104 Speaker 2: do with the character. They're bleak, they aren't interesting, Like 264 00:13:34,344 --> 00:13:36,864 Speaker 2: he can be a really bland superhero if you don't 265 00:13:36,944 --> 00:13:39,344 Speaker 2: play him properly. And the last few Superman movies have 266 00:13:39,424 --> 00:13:40,544 Speaker 2: left me so cold. 267 00:13:40,304 --> 00:13:42,704 Speaker 1: And they feel like as well. DC have definitely had 268 00:13:42,784 --> 00:13:46,184 Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble compared to Marvel. You know, 269 00:13:46,264 --> 00:13:48,864 Speaker 1: Marvel of since you know, the very first Iron Man 270 00:13:48,904 --> 00:13:51,744 Speaker 1: movie has been success. After the success, there's been a 271 00:13:51,784 --> 00:13:55,144 Speaker 1: couple of ones that have been duds, but generally they've 272 00:13:55,144 --> 00:13:59,144 Speaker 1: been pretty good. Yeah, DC. However, apart from you know, 273 00:13:59,304 --> 00:14:03,224 Speaker 1: Dark Knight, that series, you know, the Christopher Nolan that 274 00:14:03,304 --> 00:14:06,104 Speaker 1: went really well, but Superman's really been struggling, and I 275 00:14:06,144 --> 00:14:09,584 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the DC ip have been 276 00:14:09,784 --> 00:14:12,784 Speaker 1: taken by the CW network, which kind of makes these 277 00:14:12,824 --> 00:14:17,424 Speaker 1: really like like Ruby Rose did that Batgirl, yeah, which 278 00:14:17,504 --> 00:14:20,704 Speaker 1: was a bit of a dud, but I'm really excited 279 00:14:20,704 --> 00:14:23,384 Speaker 1: that it's good and Nicholas Holt plays Lex Luthor. 280 00:14:23,544 --> 00:14:25,544 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so much about this actual movie is great. 281 00:14:25,584 --> 00:14:28,264 Speaker 2: So I should say that it's written directed by James Gunn, 282 00:14:28,504 --> 00:14:30,944 Speaker 2: which I know that should have been a clue that 283 00:14:30,944 --> 00:14:33,064 Speaker 2: it was going to be incredible, because obviously so many 284 00:14:33,064 --> 00:14:35,384 Speaker 2: movies that he makes are incredible. He's the one who 285 00:14:35,424 --> 00:14:38,104 Speaker 2: really shaped Guardians of the Galaxy and made that the 286 00:14:38,224 --> 00:14:40,424 Speaker 2: huge part of marvel that it is. He is the 287 00:14:40,424 --> 00:14:43,624 Speaker 2: writer and director of this film. Everything about it just works. 288 00:14:43,704 --> 00:14:46,424 Speaker 2: It's got a lot of comedy and humor and warmth, 289 00:14:46,904 --> 00:14:49,024 Speaker 2: I think is what you need from a Superman series. 290 00:14:49,224 --> 00:14:52,584 Speaker 2: But there's also like a gravitas and like a seriousness 291 00:14:52,624 --> 00:14:55,144 Speaker 2: to it, and that it's very fast paced. But David 292 00:14:55,184 --> 00:14:57,264 Speaker 2: corn Sweat, who has been a lot of movies and 293 00:14:57,304 --> 00:14:58,984 Speaker 2: TV shows, but this is, I've got to say, his 294 00:14:59,184 --> 00:15:03,344 Speaker 2: huge breakout role. He plays Clark Kent Souperman chatting to 295 00:15:03,384 --> 00:15:05,704 Speaker 2: a lot of people about this the hottest Souperman so far. 296 00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:07,344 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out and the women say it also 297 00:15:07,504 --> 00:15:09,344 Speaker 2: very charismatic and a bit of a do fist in 298 00:15:09,384 --> 00:15:11,104 Speaker 2: the best way, which is what Sue Man supposed to be. 299 00:15:11,664 --> 00:15:15,024 Speaker 2: Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Slaine and she is one of 300 00:15:15,064 --> 00:15:17,584 Speaker 2: the main reasons I went because she played Midge in 301 00:15:17,744 --> 00:15:20,424 Speaker 2: The Marvelous Missus Maisel, one of my favorite TV shows. 302 00:15:20,784 --> 00:15:23,344 Speaker 2: She is so great as Lois Laane like the perfect 303 00:15:23,384 --> 00:15:25,904 Speaker 2: and she also has her own big story and her 304 00:15:25,944 --> 00:15:27,904 Speaker 2: own like side characters and her own things that are 305 00:15:27,944 --> 00:15:30,144 Speaker 2: going on. She's not just a damn slung distress. And 306 00:15:30,184 --> 00:15:33,264 Speaker 2: then yes, Nicholas Poult plays Lex Luthor. 307 00:15:33,544 --> 00:15:35,384 Speaker 1: He looks so hot with that blonde hair. 308 00:15:35,584 --> 00:15:38,064 Speaker 2: Okay, the blond hair is so funny because we had 309 00:15:38,064 --> 00:15:40,064 Speaker 2: people are in our offers who were like, Oh, I 310 00:15:40,064 --> 00:15:41,944 Speaker 2: don't really care about Sudeman, I want to see this movie, 311 00:15:41,984 --> 00:15:44,024 Speaker 2: but I'm going to go because I want to see 312 00:15:44,064 --> 00:15:46,544 Speaker 2: him with the blonde hair.

So they didn't go to the 317 00:15:55,424 --> 00:15:57,424 Speaker 2: movie because I didn't want to see her that the 318 00:15:57,424 --> 00:15:57,864 Speaker 2: blonde hair. 319 00:15:58,064 --> 00:16:01,624 Speaker 1: Actually just listened to a SmartLess episode with Yeah Assault Yeah, 320 00:16:01,624 --> 00:16:03,544 Speaker 1: and he was talking about the reason he's blonde is 321 00:16:03,584 --> 00:16:05,624 Speaker 1: because he's doing a new movie now.

He's got this 327 00:16:16,144 --> 00:16:19,384 Speaker 2: kind of like very villainous element about him that makes 328 00:16:19,504 --> 00:16:21,704 Speaker 2: le Luthor not just like he can sometimes be a 329 00:16:21,744 --> 00:16:24,144 Speaker 2: bit of a caricature, but you like, this man does 330 00:16:24,224 --> 00:16:27,864 Speaker 2: feel very threatening. There's so many good side characters. Nathan 331 00:16:27,864 --> 00:16:29,424 Speaker 2: Fillion is in it, which I know a lot of 332 00:16:29,464 --> 00:16:31,984 Speaker 2: people love from the TV show Castle.

Yeah, 335 00:16:39,824 --> 00:16:41,944 Speaker 2: so that is a bit of a reveal, like we 336 00:16:42,024 --> 00:16:43,904 Speaker 2: knew that was coming, but you do get your first 337 00:16:43,904 --> 00:16:47,304 Speaker 2: glimpse of Australian actress Millie o'cock as a Supergirl, and 338 00:16:47,344 --> 00:16:50,424 Speaker 2: that's like a really fun moment. And overall I just 339 00:16:50,464 --> 00:16:53,104 Speaker 2: found it a really enjoyable film. Superman's got a dog. 340 00:16:53,424 --> 00:16:56,104 Speaker 2: That's fun. There's a dog in the mix if that's 341 00:16:56,144 --> 00:16:59,384 Speaker 2: your thing. He's got a cape, he flies. Overall, just 342 00:16:59,424 --> 00:17:01,184 Speaker 2: a really really fun movie. So I just want to 343 00:17:01,264 --> 00:17:02,904 Speaker 2: sort of say that I don't take it lightly like 344 00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:05,184 Speaker 2: recommending movies that people have to go and see at 345 00:17:05,184 --> 00:17:07,904 Speaker 2: the cinema, because I'm aware that cinema tickets are expensive 346 00:17:07,984 --> 00:17:09,744 Speaker 2: and like you might have to like get a babysitter, 347 00:17:09,824 --> 00:17:11,144 Speaker 2: or we might have to give up like your one 348 00:17:11,144 --> 00:17:13,424 Speaker 2: free night to go. So I'll just say that, like, 349 00:17:13,544 --> 00:17:16,104 Speaker 2: if you love superhero movies, you'll really enjoy this. If 350 00:17:16,104 --> 00:17:17,864 Speaker 2: you're just looking for a fun movie, you don't have 351 00:17:17,944 --> 00:17:21,304 Speaker 2: to know all of the superhero law behind this. It 352 00:17:21,424 --> 00:17:23,824 Speaker 2: just stands as it's o. There's lots of little callbacks 353 00:17:23,904 --> 00:17:26,904 Speaker 2: to like the original comics in the dialogue, but if 354 00:17:26,904 --> 00:17:28,624 Speaker 2: you don't know what those are, it's fine. You can 355 00:17:28,664 --> 00:17:31,184 Speaker 2: just enjoy the action and the humor and the love 356 00:17:31,264 --> 00:17:34,864 Speaker 2: story and yeah, Superman. Add the movies now, little indie film, 357 00:17:34,864 --> 00:17:35,464 Speaker 2: give it a chance. 358 00:17:35,624 --> 00:17:38,424 Speaker 1: Yeah, a few things to watch this weekend.
