8
00:00:33,904 --> 00:00:36,344
Speaker 1: You, Paul So On the show today, we are going

9
00:00:36,424 --> 00:00:38,744
Speaker 1: to give you some of the newest TV shows that

10
00:00:38,784 --> 00:00:40,504
Speaker 1: have come out right now and the ones that we

11
00:00:40,544 --> 00:00:44,264
Speaker 1: want to recommend. But first, our producer Kim she can

12
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:47,024
Speaker 1: get a bit woo woo sometimes, so she's making us

13
00:00:47,104 --> 00:00:50,424
Speaker 1: talk about like our reflections of the year. Plus she

14
00:00:50,504 --> 00:00:52,584
Speaker 1: wants us to talk about our goals for this next

15
00:00:52,664 --> 00:00:54,544
Speaker 1: year because I feel like when we say it out loud,

16
00:00:54,584 --> 00:00:55,944
Speaker 1: that means we kind of have to do it.

17
00:00:56,384 --> 00:00:59,464
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I really wish I approached this so I actually,

18
00:00:59,624 --> 00:01:01,624
Speaker 2: you know, usually talk about ourselves on the show. We'd

19
00:01:01,664 --> 00:01:03,584
Speaker 2: really go hard on other people and their feelings and

20
00:01:03,624 --> 00:01:04,304
Speaker 2: their actions.

21
00:01:04,344 --> 00:01:07,824
Speaker 1: Again, I actually outsourced my goal because she did. My

22
00:01:07,984 --> 00:01:10,304
Speaker 1: mother decided to tell me what she wanted my god

23
00:01:10,464 --> 00:01:13,104
Speaker 1: that to be. She so, as you know, I date

24
00:01:13,584 --> 00:01:15,584
Speaker 1: a lot a little bit, I do know this about

25
00:01:15,624 --> 00:01:17,584
Speaker 1: you mostly because when if we go out together, we

26
00:01:17,664 --> 00:01:20,144
Speaker 1: run into an exit boyfriend of yours only when you're

27
00:01:20,144 --> 00:01:22,344
Speaker 1: with me, And I'm going to try to avoid doing

28
00:01:22,344 --> 00:01:23,744
Speaker 1: that this year because I don't want to have that

29
00:01:23,824 --> 00:01:24,664
Speaker 1: many exes.

30
00:01:24,744 --> 00:01:26,944
Speaker 2: So you're gonna avoid going out with me, I'm gonna.

31
00:01:27,384 --> 00:01:29,504
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no no no. Let me you phrase.

32
00:01:29,984 --> 00:01:32,104
Speaker 1: I have a goal that is set by my mother

33
00:01:32,304 --> 00:01:35,424
Speaker 1: that she wants me to really focus on myself this

34
00:01:35,544 --> 00:01:38,704
Speaker 1: year and find a purpose. Now I don't know what

35
00:01:38,744 --> 00:01:41,104
Speaker 1: that purpose is. She's like the world, your oyster, you

36
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:43,344
Speaker 1: pick it. So I'm just going to find a purpose.

37
00:01:43,384 --> 00:01:46,304
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But my purpose could

38
00:01:46,344 --> 00:01:47,424
Speaker 1: be just doing this.

39
00:01:48,504 --> 00:01:50,704
Speaker 2: Do you mean a purpose outside of dating and work?

40
00:01:50,824 --> 00:01:51,544
Speaker 1: I think a purpose.

41
00:01:51,624 --> 00:01:51,824
Speaker 2: Yeah.

42
00:01:51,864 --> 00:01:54,024
Speaker 1: She definitely wants it to be outside of dating. She

43
00:01:54,144 --> 00:01:56,584
Speaker 1: says it could be work, but you prefer if I

44
00:01:56,624 --> 00:01:58,824
Speaker 1: find another purpose alongside work.

45
00:01:58,984 --> 00:02:01,064
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh you'm a me. I'm still here.

46
00:02:01,304 --> 00:02:02,024
Speaker 1: I love my.

47
00:02:02,144 --> 00:02:04,784
Speaker 2: Job, don't get rid of me, but I also need

48
00:02:04,824 --> 00:02:07,184
Speaker 2: a life. It's always hard with this job because so

49
00:02:07,264 --> 00:02:09,384
Speaker 2: much of it does kind of bleeding to your personal

50
00:02:09,384 --> 00:02:11,464
Speaker 2: life because it's it could be stuff you're passionate about,

51
00:02:11,544 --> 00:02:13,304
Speaker 2: or like goals you have or you like, you share

52
00:02:13,344 --> 00:02:15,744
Speaker 2: a lot of your life online and different pods that

53
00:02:15,784 --> 00:02:17,704
Speaker 2: you do, so I think sometimes it can be hard

54
00:02:17,704 --> 00:02:19,704
Speaker 2: to separate those two. It's not like an office job

55
00:02:19,744 --> 00:02:21,264
Speaker 2: where you just gold and clocking clock out.

56
00:02:21,384 --> 00:02:24,464
Speaker 1: No money, money money, that's you here for Shank. What's

57
00:02:24,504 --> 00:02:27,904
Speaker 1: your goal of the year? Oh, oh god, do you

58
00:02:27,944 --> 00:02:28,624
Speaker 1: really work on?

59
00:02:28,784 --> 00:02:31,304
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, endship. I was going to say, you can

60
00:02:31,504 --> 00:02:32,984
Speaker 2: your mum gives you a goal, and you go, can

61
00:02:33,024 --> 00:02:34,064
Speaker 2: your mom just give me a goal?

62
00:02:34,184 --> 00:02:35,464
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll give you a goal. I think.

63
00:02:35,504 --> 00:02:37,504
Speaker 2: I mean missus vernam to come in and sort my

64
00:02:37,544 --> 00:02:38,024
Speaker 2: life out.

65
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:40,584
Speaker 1: Maybe more tickets for me to go to premieres with you.

66
00:02:40,904 --> 00:02:43,704
Speaker 2: I mean that surely that's going to leave me fulfilled.

67
00:02:43,984 --> 00:02:45,304
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not one of those people who

68
00:02:45,344 --> 00:02:48,104
Speaker 2: makes a huge one goal every year. Although this year

69
00:02:48,104 --> 00:02:49,584
Speaker 2: I did make a goal to wear more rings, and

70
00:02:49,584 --> 00:02:50,864
Speaker 2: I feel like I've done that. I did.

71
00:02:51,144 --> 00:02:53,104
Speaker 1: I was even there for the big purchase, the big

72
00:02:53,184 --> 00:02:54,384
Speaker 1: ring purchase of twenty twenty.

73
00:02:54,584 --> 00:02:56,064
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I didn't. I always find them hard to

74
00:02:56,064 --> 00:02:57,624
Speaker 2: find the ones to fit my fingers, and I feel

75
00:02:57,624 --> 00:02:59,984
Speaker 2: like that was a really easy one that I've Yeah,

76
00:03:00,184 --> 00:03:02,744
Speaker 2: my beautiful dat hands and I feel like I've really

77
00:03:02,744 --> 00:03:04,864
Speaker 2: achieved that. No, I mean every year we always say

78
00:03:04,864 --> 00:03:06,544
Speaker 2: the same thing, go so fast, what did I do?

79
00:03:07,064 --> 00:03:08,944
Speaker 2: But I think my goal for this year, for twenty

80
00:03:08,984 --> 00:03:12,944
Speaker 2: twenty five, I think is going to be so boring

81
00:03:12,984 --> 00:03:15,864
Speaker 2: to write more and to write more creatively, because I

82
00:03:15,864 --> 00:03:17,824
Speaker 2: feel like, I mean, here's the probably the thing I

83
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:19,664
Speaker 2: shouldn't say in this particular moment.

84
00:03:20,024 --> 00:03:20,864
Speaker 1: We love our jobs.

85
00:03:21,144 --> 00:03:24,064
Speaker 2: No, No, I love my job. But I'm a much

86
00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:26,064
Speaker 2: better writer than I am a podcaster. Like, I'm not

87
00:03:26,104 --> 00:03:28,864
Speaker 2: a great podcaster, and I have a popular opinion. I

88
00:03:28,864 --> 00:03:29,504
Speaker 2: think that's the case.

89
00:03:29,544 --> 00:03:30,624
Speaker 1: I'm ass journalists.

90
00:03:30,704 --> 00:03:32,144
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously that's our first.

91
00:03:32,584 --> 00:03:34,464
Speaker 1: It's also like a safety I feel like it's a

92
00:03:34,504 --> 00:03:36,904
Speaker 1: safer medium to convey your thoughts on.

93
00:03:37,144 --> 00:03:39,384
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. But I just I feel like I'm a

94
00:03:39,464 --> 00:03:41,984
Speaker 2: much better writer than I'm a podcaster, and I love podcasting.

95
00:03:42,064 --> 00:03:44,224
Speaker 1: It's a very unexcited You're very good at podcasting, which

96
00:03:44,304 --> 00:03:46,664
Speaker 1: must mean you're a really really good writer.

97
00:03:47,664 --> 00:03:49,744
Speaker 2: We'll see. But I feel like I have put so

98
00:03:49,824 --> 00:03:52,104
Speaker 2: much time and effort into podcasting and into this show,

99
00:03:52,104 --> 00:03:53,584
Speaker 2: which I'm still going to do. Guys, don't worry when

100
00:03:53,744 --> 00:03:55,664
Speaker 2: this is not When I was like so I'm.

101
00:03:55,544 --> 00:03:57,584
Speaker 1: Leaving or we need to read your words more.

102
00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:59,704
Speaker 2: But I just think that I also just need to

103
00:03:59,704 --> 00:04:01,664
Speaker 2: make time for it and also to like longer form

104
00:04:01,784 --> 00:04:04,704
Speaker 2: things and things that I think also working in online media,

105
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,624
Speaker 2: you get very used to writing something one week and

106
00:04:06,624 --> 00:04:08,824
Speaker 2: then having it go live at the end of the

107
00:04:08,864 --> 00:04:11,304
Speaker 2: week and just kind of sitting with and like writing

108
00:04:11,344 --> 00:04:15,224
Speaker 2: things that scare you. So that's my goal, I think, right, creativity,

109
00:04:15,584 --> 00:04:17,544
Speaker 2: that's nice, but also still podcasting.

110
00:04:18,624 --> 00:04:20,544
Speaker 1: If you guys want to be a bit more vulnerable

111
00:04:20,584 --> 00:04:22,744
Speaker 1: with us like we are now, we're both very uncomfortable.

112
00:04:23,184 --> 00:04:25,544
Speaker 1: Please share your goals with us. You can message us

113
00:04:25,584 --> 00:04:28,384
Speaker 1: at the Spill podcast. And if one of your goals

114
00:04:28,424 --> 00:04:31,384
Speaker 1: is to watch more TV shows this year, just wait,

115
00:04:31,864 --> 00:04:32,224
Speaker 1: just wait.

116
00:04:32,384 --> 00:04:34,824
Speaker 2: Also, like that's not a flippant throwaway thing, because I

117
00:04:34,904 --> 00:04:37,824
Speaker 2: also think that a lot of people now don't sometimes

118
00:04:37,824 --> 00:04:40,584
Speaker 2: don't start new TV shows because they can find that overwhelming.

119
00:04:40,864 --> 00:04:42,344
Speaker 2: A lot of us go back to watch our same

120
00:04:42,384 --> 00:04:43,984
Speaker 2: comfort shows again and again and again.

121
00:04:44,024 --> 00:04:45,624
Speaker 1: Like that's why I start to tell it, I doesn't

122
00:04:45,664 --> 00:04:48,464
Speaker 1: feel so hard to start a new TV sometimes.

123
00:04:48,504 --> 00:04:50,184
Speaker 2: I think you and I have to force ourselves into it,

124
00:04:50,184 --> 00:04:52,344
Speaker 2: because the thing is every week we have for our jobs.

125
00:04:52,344 --> 00:04:53,984
Speaker 2: We have to watch a new TV show, and I

126
00:04:54,024 --> 00:04:55,504
Speaker 2: think that I would be in a loop of watching

127
00:04:55,544 --> 00:04:58,944
Speaker 2: like Gilmore Girls, Walking Dead, New Girl MINDI Project over

128
00:04:58,944 --> 00:05:00,184
Speaker 2: and over and over again if I didn't have to

129
00:05:00,184 --> 00:05:02,384
Speaker 2: snap myself out of it. I think sometimes you sit

130
00:05:02,424 --> 00:05:04,104
Speaker 2: down to watch a TV show and you'll just start

131
00:05:04,104 --> 00:05:06,184
Speaker 2: like looking at TikTok or something, and or you just

132
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:08,144
Speaker 2: like I think people get nervous sometimes about it doesn't

133
00:05:08,144 --> 00:05:09,784
Speaker 2: seem like you should be. I think sometimes people get

134
00:05:09,784 --> 00:05:11,384
Speaker 2: nervous about into a new show.

135
00:05:11,504 --> 00:05:12,344
Speaker 1: It's a miss smith.

136
00:05:12,544 --> 00:05:14,104
Speaker 2: It is an investment in your time, and you can

137
00:05:14,104 --> 00:05:15,984
Speaker 2: be unsure of it. And also if the marketing doesn't

138
00:05:16,024 --> 00:05:18,264
Speaker 2: hit you right and people in your friendship group aren't

139
00:05:18,304 --> 00:05:20,384
Speaker 2: recommending it to you, it can be hard to find

140
00:05:20,424 --> 00:05:22,664
Speaker 2: those new shows. So before we get into the new

141
00:05:22,704 --> 00:05:24,904
Speaker 2: shows that have just come out in December and January

142
00:05:24,904 --> 00:05:26,224
Speaker 2: that we want to talk to you about, we wanted

143
00:05:26,264 --> 00:05:28,384
Speaker 2: to highlight a few of our favorite shows from this

144
00:05:28,544 --> 00:05:30,864
Speaker 2: year that we probably have touched on when they came out,

145
00:05:30,904 --> 00:05:32,904
Speaker 2: but you might have missed them. Yeah, and also you're

146
00:05:32,944 --> 00:05:35,264
Speaker 2: not forced like us to watch new TV shows every week,

147
00:05:35,304 --> 00:05:37,344
Speaker 2: so potentially you heard us talk about it Weekend Watch

148
00:05:37,384 --> 00:05:39,544
Speaker 2: and thought that sounds good and never thought of it again.

149
00:05:39,864 --> 00:05:41,704
Speaker 2: So what's been your favorite new TV show of twenty

150
00:05:41,744 --> 00:05:42,104
Speaker 2: twenty four.

151
00:05:42,264 --> 00:05:44,864
Speaker 1: My absolute favorite TV show this year, which I can't

152
00:05:44,904 --> 00:05:48,064
Speaker 1: even believe actually came out this year, was Mister and

153
00:05:48,144 --> 00:05:53,104
Speaker 1: Missus Smith. Oh yes, starrying Donald Glover aka Charlish Gambino

154
00:05:53,184 --> 00:05:56,184
Speaker 1: and my Erskin. I was so close to not recommending

155
00:05:56,224 --> 00:06:00,424
Speaker 1: this because Donald Glover, like Childish Gambino, did cancel his

156
00:06:00,544 --> 00:06:02,104
Speaker 1: Australia to all.

157
00:06:01,784 --> 00:06:04,664
Speaker 2: That really hurt you the third time you're his biggest fan.

158
00:06:04,784 --> 00:06:08,344
Speaker 1: I did refrain from drunk messaging him and about my disappointment,

159
00:06:08,624 --> 00:06:10,064
Speaker 1: but if I did drunk messag him, I would have

160
00:06:10,064 --> 00:06:13,344
Speaker 1: said why I still recommend your great show because it

161
00:06:13,464 --> 00:06:16,304
Speaker 1: is such a good show. So if you haven't watched it,

162
00:06:16,304 --> 00:06:20,864
Speaker 1: it's one season and it is absolutely brilliant. You would

163
00:06:20,864 --> 00:06:24,024
Speaker 1: have definitely watched the og movie Mister and Missus Smith

164
00:06:24,064 --> 00:06:26,504
Speaker 1: starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who we do not

165
00:06:26,584 --> 00:06:29,904
Speaker 1: talk about, but it takes the idea of the Mister

166
00:06:30,104 --> 00:06:33,864
Speaker 1: and Missus Smith universe and just expands on that. So

167
00:06:34,104 --> 00:06:37,664
Speaker 1: Donald Glover and my Erskine play a married couple who

168
00:06:37,664 --> 00:06:40,744
Speaker 1: are like sexy assassin killers and you kind of find

169
00:06:40,784 --> 00:06:44,064
Speaker 1: out that mister and missus Smith aren't just these two people,

170
00:06:44,064 --> 00:06:46,304
Speaker 1: but it's a massive program yea where they have like

171
00:06:46,544 --> 00:06:50,184
Speaker 1: these couples situated in different situations that just cosplay as

172
00:06:50,184 --> 00:06:51,744
Speaker 1: a couple but are really killers.

173
00:06:52,024 --> 00:06:53,424
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is so good.

174
00:06:53,464 --> 00:06:57,344
Speaker 1: The scenes are beautiful, the outfits are amazing. Everyone's really

175
00:06:57,384 --> 00:07:00,344
Speaker 1: good looking. It's very tensiony, so it's a lot of action,

176
00:07:00,384 --> 00:07:03,824
Speaker 1: which I love. I love action, but it's also very romantic.

177
00:07:04,264 --> 00:07:06,584
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, absolutely, and yet not just a remake of

178
00:07:06,584 --> 00:07:08,224
Speaker 2: the movie is so many people say to me, it's

179
00:07:08,264 --> 00:07:11,104
Speaker 2: so different. So many of my recommendations things that they're

180
00:07:11,104 --> 00:07:14,384
Speaker 2: the ones I constantly find myself telling people about. And

181
00:07:14,424 --> 00:07:17,024
Speaker 2: sometimes it seems silly to bring them up because you think, like,

182
00:07:17,224 --> 00:07:19,384
Speaker 2: weren't we all talking about the show for weeks? How

183
00:07:19,424 --> 00:07:21,064
Speaker 2: have you not watched it? But again, it has come

184
00:07:21,104 --> 00:07:23,664
Speaker 2: to my attention that not everyone is as involved in

185
00:07:23,664 --> 00:07:26,224
Speaker 2: new TV releases as we are. So I wanted to

186
00:07:26,304 --> 00:07:27,984
Speaker 2: just a few highlights from the year that if you

187
00:07:28,024 --> 00:07:31,024
Speaker 2: haven't had time to watch them, and now you're on holidays, Christmas,

188
00:07:31,024 --> 00:07:32,864
Speaker 2: New Year's holidays, this would be the time to sit

189
00:07:32,904 --> 00:07:36,904
Speaker 2: down and watch them. Colin from Accounts Season two. Yeah, Yes,

190
00:07:37,144 --> 00:07:39,544
Speaker 2: such a good show came out many months ago and

191
00:07:39,544 --> 00:07:41,104
Speaker 2: I feel like it was obviously a really big deal

192
00:07:41,184 --> 00:07:43,304
Speaker 2: to us. But so many people I come across when

193
00:07:43,264 --> 00:07:45,544
Speaker 2: I talks about it haven't seen the show. So it's

194
00:07:45,544 --> 00:07:48,544
Speaker 2: in its second season, it's on Binge. It's co created

195
00:07:48,584 --> 00:07:52,784
Speaker 2: and stars real life couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick brammle Yes,

196
00:07:52,904 --> 00:07:55,864
Speaker 2: two very good looking people, two very funny people. So

197
00:07:55,904 --> 00:07:57,824
Speaker 2: many people have said like, is this the funniest show

198
00:07:57,824 --> 00:08:00,664
Speaker 2: on TV? And I actually think it could be. It

199
00:08:00,744 --> 00:08:03,304
Speaker 2: is there a couple who meet when in the first season,

200
00:08:03,344 --> 00:08:05,864
Speaker 2: when she, you know, flushes a boob as he's driving

201
00:08:05,904 --> 00:08:08,504
Speaker 2: pass he accidentally hits a dog. They rush the dog

202
00:08:08,544 --> 00:08:10,744
Speaker 2: to the vet and then their lives become into tangled

203
00:08:10,744 --> 00:08:12,904
Speaker 2: because they have to look after this dog. It's one

204
00:08:12,904 --> 00:08:14,624
Speaker 2: of the rare cases of Season two is just as

205
00:08:14,664 --> 00:08:17,184
Speaker 2: funny as season one. And it was so funny because

206
00:08:17,224 --> 00:08:18,824
Speaker 2: I went to the premiere and I actually interviewed them

207
00:08:18,864 --> 00:08:20,824
Speaker 2: when they were in Australia to launch it, and then

208
00:08:21,104 --> 00:08:22,904
Speaker 2: I was telling so many people to go and watch it,

209
00:08:23,344 --> 00:08:25,744
Speaker 2: and people were like messaging me afterwards with their favorite

210
00:08:25,824 --> 00:08:27,544
Speaker 2: jokes and moments and stuff, and I was like, yes,

211
00:08:27,544 --> 00:08:29,384
Speaker 2: it's that kind of show where you just like actually

212
00:08:29,504 --> 00:08:30,504
Speaker 2: laughing out louds.

213
00:08:30,344 --> 00:08:32,464
Speaker 1: You shared one of my dating stories with them.

214
00:08:32,344 --> 00:08:35,544
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. They gave me advice. They loved that.

215
00:08:35,584 --> 00:08:36,464
Speaker 1: It was quite nice.

216
00:08:36,584 --> 00:08:37,864
Speaker 2: It was so funny because I was at the end

217
00:08:37,904 --> 00:08:39,384
Speaker 2: of their press day and they'd be going all day

218
00:08:39,384 --> 00:08:42,064
Speaker 2: and it was their last interview, and I was like,

219
00:08:42,104 --> 00:08:44,104
Speaker 2: can you guys give some relationship advice because your whole

220
00:08:44,104 --> 00:08:46,504
Speaker 2: show was about this relationship and you're married in real life,

221
00:08:46,704 --> 00:08:49,104
Speaker 2: and they were just going for gold with it. And

222
00:08:49,144 --> 00:08:51,344
Speaker 2: then afterwards they're like, why haven't we just been doing

223
00:08:51,384 --> 00:08:54,224
Speaker 2: this all day? And then they talked about starting a

224
00:08:54,224 --> 00:08:56,864
Speaker 2: advice podcast, which I do think they should do. So

225
00:08:57,064 --> 00:09:00,464
Speaker 2: that is on Binge Calling from Accounts, really important comedy

226
00:09:00,464 --> 00:09:03,344
Speaker 2: if you haven't seen it, also fall Out on Prime Video.

227
00:09:04,024 --> 00:09:05,904
Speaker 2: Did we move on from that too quickly?

228
00:09:05,984 --> 00:09:08,744
Speaker 1: I think? So, I'm going to say that we missed

229
00:09:08,744 --> 00:09:10,184
Speaker 1: the mark on that and sho'd have done and Bradley

230
00:09:10,224 --> 00:09:11,144
Speaker 1: on on format.

231
00:09:11,184 --> 00:09:12,944
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it is coming back for a second season.

232
00:09:12,944 --> 00:09:14,944
Speaker 2: I think we will have that. The reason I wanted

233
00:09:14,944 --> 00:09:16,504
Speaker 2: to bring that up is that when I tell people

234
00:09:16,504 --> 00:09:18,824
Speaker 2: about this show. When we're talking about big shows that

235
00:09:18,904 --> 00:09:21,424
Speaker 2: made an impact this year, so many people say to me, like,

236
00:09:21,584 --> 00:09:23,864
Speaker 2: I just don't like video games, and do that? I say,

237
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:25,944
Speaker 2: do I look like the kind of person who likes

238
00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:27,864
Speaker 2: video games or knows anything about that.

239
00:09:27,904 --> 00:09:29,384
Speaker 1: I didn't even know this was based on a video

240
00:09:29,944 --> 00:09:30,824
Speaker 1: after I watched it.

241
00:09:30,824 --> 00:09:32,824
Speaker 2: It's based on like a role play game. Don't even

242
00:09:32,824 --> 00:09:33,824
Speaker 2: know what that is. That's what you like to do

243
00:09:33,824 --> 00:09:35,424
Speaker 2: on your own spare time. That's totally fine.

244
00:09:35,424 --> 00:09:37,104
Speaker 1: No, kind of one of those games where it's like

245
00:09:37,304 --> 00:09:39,744
Speaker 1: choose your own ending, so you just play a character

246
00:09:39,784 --> 00:09:41,144
Speaker 1: and then you make up this big story.

247
00:09:41,264 --> 00:09:43,384
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say just usually I say give yourself a

248
00:09:43,424 --> 00:09:45,384
Speaker 2: couple of episodes to get into a show. But for

249
00:09:45,464 --> 00:09:48,544
Speaker 2: this one, I think the pilot is so well done,

250
00:09:48,744 --> 00:09:51,304
Speaker 2: and the world building is so good, and the humor

251
00:09:51,384 --> 00:09:55,784
Speaker 2: is so good, and the stakes are so it's about Yeah,

252
00:09:55,824 --> 00:09:59,144
Speaker 2: it's a post apocalyptic drama. Ella Panel is the lead.

253
00:09:59,344 --> 00:10:02,464
Speaker 2: She's fantastic in it, and it's about these people who, like,

254
00:10:02,544 --> 00:10:04,864
Speaker 2: after you know the world it ends, they're living in

255
00:10:04,904 --> 00:10:07,184
Speaker 2: these bunkers, which is almost like this kind of like

256
00:10:07,304 --> 00:10:09,584
Speaker 2: their own little societies and they kind of feel very

257
00:10:09,624 --> 00:10:13,144
Speaker 2: rotron away living in these bunkers underneath the world because

258
00:10:13,144 --> 00:10:16,144
Speaker 2: they can't go to the surface, and then some stuff happens,

259
00:10:16,224 --> 00:10:18,064
Speaker 2: really good plot twist in the first season, I've got

260
00:10:18,104 --> 00:10:20,704
Speaker 2: to say, where Ella Panell's character has to sort of

261
00:10:20,704 --> 00:10:22,304
Speaker 2: go to the surface and go on this almost like

262
00:10:22,344 --> 00:10:25,184
Speaker 2: a quest. But yes, so good fall out on Prime Video.

263
00:10:25,624 --> 00:10:27,104
Speaker 2: I just want to see one more in because I

264
00:10:27,104 --> 00:10:29,144
Speaker 2: don't think this is what we mentioned during our normal

265
00:10:29,184 --> 00:10:31,024
Speaker 2: shows this year, because it landed the end of the

266
00:10:31,064 --> 00:10:33,304
Speaker 2: year when we were like in crazy end of year,

267
00:10:33,344 --> 00:10:35,624
Speaker 2: we were talking about a lot of Christmas movies that

268
00:10:35,784 --> 00:10:37,664
Speaker 2: time of year. Yeah, it was your fault. So it's

269
00:10:37,704 --> 00:10:41,224
Speaker 2: Black Doves on Netflix. So it's well, there you go,

270
00:10:41,264 --> 00:10:43,464
Speaker 2: you can add this shows. He came out in the

271
00:10:43,504 --> 00:10:45,864
Speaker 2: beginning of December, and I think that's you know, Pete

272
00:10:45,904 --> 00:10:48,104
Speaker 2: Christmas Party, end of year season, so people might have

273
00:10:48,144 --> 00:10:49,984
Speaker 2: missed it, you might want to watch it now. It's

274
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:53,224
Speaker 2: a new series on Netflix. It stars Kira Knightley, who

275
00:10:53,424 --> 00:10:55,744
Speaker 2: is this kind of deep cover agent and she's trying

276
00:10:55,744 --> 00:10:58,144
Speaker 2: to balance her life as being like a politician's wife,

277
00:10:58,144 --> 00:10:59,784
Speaker 2: but then she also goes on this kind of violent

278
00:10:59,864 --> 00:11:04,344
Speaker 2: quest and her old espionage, like sidekick Sam played by

279
00:11:04,344 --> 00:11:07,184
Speaker 2: Ben Winshaw, who was so amazing, comes back into her

280
00:11:07,264 --> 00:11:09,704
Speaker 2: life and it's just kind of like revenge caper with

281
00:11:09,744 --> 00:11:11,304
Speaker 2: the two of them. So it's a bit of a

282
00:11:11,344 --> 00:11:13,344
Speaker 2: spy thriller. It's also got a bit of a Christmas

283
00:11:13,464 --> 00:11:15,064
Speaker 2: kind of bent to it if you're still like in

284
00:11:15,104 --> 00:11:17,704
Speaker 2: the wanting to watch something a bit festive. So I

285
00:11:17,744 --> 00:11:19,464
Speaker 2: just feel like that might have slipped under the radar

286
00:11:19,544 --> 00:11:20,664
Speaker 2: for a lot of people at the end of the

287
00:11:20,744 --> 00:11:22,944
Speaker 2: year if you're looking for something new. Black Doves on

288
00:11:22,984 --> 00:11:24,664
Speaker 2: Netflix a bit of a spy thriller.

289
00:11:27,224 --> 00:11:31,264
Speaker 1: So the TV show I wanted to recommend that is

290
00:11:31,304 --> 00:11:36,864
Speaker 1: out right now is Squid Game Season two. I've been

291
00:11:36,904 --> 00:11:39,064
Speaker 1: so excited to watch this.

292
00:11:39,144 --> 00:11:42,744
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine like stepping back into this world again,

293
00:11:42,904 --> 00:11:44,624
Speaker 2: like the second season. I've only watched a bit of it.

294
00:11:44,624 --> 00:11:47,304
Speaker 2: It is incredible, but I just remember that first time

295
00:11:47,344 --> 00:11:51,184
Speaker 2: watching season one. What a visceral experience that is. Like,

296
00:11:51,224 --> 00:11:52,704
Speaker 2: you know how sometimes you just watch a TV show

297
00:11:52,744 --> 00:11:54,544
Speaker 2: and you're like, I wasn't just watching a TV show.

298
00:11:54,704 --> 00:11:57,224
Speaker 2: I was in the TV show. So I lived in

299
00:11:57,264 --> 00:11:59,744
Speaker 2: that TV show and I was terrified the whole time.

300
00:11:59,624 --> 00:12:01,024
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you brought that up, because I think

301
00:12:01,064 --> 00:12:03,984
Speaker 1: that's what they were going for for season two in particular.

302
00:12:04,064 --> 00:12:06,584
Speaker 1: So just to jog your memory of like the first

303
00:12:06,584 --> 00:12:11,104
Speaker 1: season of Squid Game, it's a survival thriller. That's how

304
00:12:11,144 --> 00:12:14,784
Speaker 1: it's categorized. It won so many Emmys, yes, even all

305
00:12:14,784 --> 00:12:17,464
Speaker 1: the actors won Emmys. It was absolutely brilliant. And it

306
00:12:17,544 --> 00:12:20,264
Speaker 1: follows four hundred and fifty six contestants. They all have

307
00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:23,424
Speaker 1: some sort of financial hardship and then you learn about

308
00:12:23,464 --> 00:12:27,264
Speaker 1: each individual storyline as the season goes on. But they're

309
00:12:27,264 --> 00:12:30,264
Speaker 1: invited to play a game, and it's like a series

310
00:12:30,304 --> 00:12:35,184
Speaker 1: of these children's games, except if you lose, you get killed,

311
00:12:35,704 --> 00:12:38,704
Speaker 1: and the show explores kind of like I think it's

312
00:12:38,744 --> 00:12:41,304
Speaker 1: like makes like all the games you played as a kid,

313
00:12:41,384 --> 00:12:43,304
Speaker 1: makes it like so much real, Like it reminded me

314
00:12:43,304 --> 00:12:45,584
Speaker 1: of like when I would play the Floor is Lava

315
00:12:45,704 --> 00:12:47,864
Speaker 1: with my cousins, and then I'm like, wait, what if

316
00:12:47,904 --> 00:12:50,144
Speaker 1: that was like part of the game. Like it's this

317
00:12:50,424 --> 00:12:53,584
Speaker 1: really like dark spin on these children's games. And there's

318
00:12:53,584 --> 00:12:56,104
Speaker 1: a winner at the end, and the winner wins forty

319
00:12:56,144 --> 00:12:59,304
Speaker 1: five billion dollars, which is like thirty nine million usd

320
00:12:59,464 --> 00:13:01,944
Speaker 1: dollars to help them out of their financial hardships.

321
00:13:01,984 --> 00:13:04,104
Speaker 2: And not only is the action of that show so good,

322
00:13:04,104 --> 00:13:05,704
Speaker 2: and you know those twists on I still think of

323
00:13:05,744 --> 00:13:08,944
Speaker 2: the Red Light Green Light girl she was. It's so

324
00:13:08,984 --> 00:13:10,904
Speaker 2: funny because I'm on Netflix through a party a few

325
00:13:10,904 --> 00:13:12,624
Speaker 2: months after it came out, and he walked in and

326
00:13:12,624 --> 00:13:14,664
Speaker 2: like they were like replicas of that girl everywhere. I'm like,

327
00:13:14,664 --> 00:13:16,264
Speaker 2: I kind of a good time when she's here.

328
00:13:16,384 --> 00:13:19,104
Speaker 1: And do you remember they did that big installation that

329
00:13:19,224 --> 00:13:21,184
Speaker 1: like Gorilla Marketing and Sydney.

330
00:13:20,904 --> 00:13:24,824
Speaker 2: Oh, they were scared the Marvel episode. Still I still

331
00:13:24,864 --> 00:13:27,704
Speaker 2: get tears and also just what that does about society

332
00:13:27,704 --> 00:13:30,064
Speaker 2: because so many people talk about obviously like the stunts

333
00:13:30,104 --> 00:13:31,744
Speaker 2: and everything the show, but I think what was super

334
00:13:31,744 --> 00:13:34,304
Speaker 2: interesting about the show and the characters was how they

335
00:13:34,304 --> 00:13:36,224
Speaker 2: all got to leave and then they all.

336
00:13:36,104 --> 00:13:38,464
Speaker 1: Came back because they wanted the money.

337
00:13:38,624 --> 00:13:41,104
Speaker 2: Like in strife, their lives were because of money, and

338
00:13:41,144 --> 00:13:43,064
Speaker 2: I think it adds as extra kind of layer. And

339
00:13:43,104 --> 00:13:44,984
Speaker 2: also the twist at the end. I guess there's like

340
00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:46,664
Speaker 2: maybe five people in the world who haven't seen the

341
00:13:46,664 --> 00:13:48,824
Speaker 2: first season, so we weren't spoil it, but like the

342
00:13:48,864 --> 00:13:51,664
Speaker 2: wealth disparage is like very it's intense.

343
00:13:51,784 --> 00:13:56,464
Speaker 1: So the second season is as bloody intent so with

344
00:13:56,624 --> 00:14:00,304
Speaker 1: stars Songi Whoon, who's played by Lee Jong Zeri. Again,

345
00:14:00,904 --> 00:14:04,824
Speaker 1: he comes back into the games and he's the only contestant.

346
00:14:04,824 --> 00:14:07,024
Speaker 1: It's a whole new array of contestants, but he's the

347
00:14:07,064 --> 00:14:10,384
Speaker 1: only one who's played the games before, and it's the

348
00:14:10,384 --> 00:14:13,904
Speaker 1: exact same games except as one new one at the end.

349
00:14:14,624 --> 00:14:17,184
Speaker 1: It's the exact same games, which you might be thinking, like, oh,

350
00:14:17,224 --> 00:14:20,384
Speaker 1: what the hell, But what I think they did just

351
00:14:20,424 --> 00:14:23,544
Speaker 1: so clever was I feel like after the first season,

352
00:14:23,744 --> 00:14:26,704
Speaker 1: all everyone could talk about is how they felt like

353
00:14:26,784 --> 00:14:29,024
Speaker 1: they would have fared if they played the games, Like

354
00:14:29,424 --> 00:14:31,624
Speaker 1: how if we would have made the red light green light?

355
00:14:31,744 --> 00:14:34,024
Speaker 1: Like that cookie game where they had to lick the cookies,

356
00:14:34,064 --> 00:14:37,224
Speaker 1: like what cutout we choose? What like number we choose

357
00:14:37,304 --> 00:14:40,784
Speaker 1: to walk over the tamped glass And you're seeing him,

358
00:14:40,904 --> 00:14:43,664
Speaker 1: You're seeing Songy act as like the audience of like

359
00:14:44,024 --> 00:14:46,304
Speaker 1: knowing what each game, what to expect from each game,

360
00:14:46,384 --> 00:14:49,624
Speaker 1: and like seeing what he chooses as like a second

361
00:14:49,664 --> 00:14:54,144
Speaker 1: time around. It is so unbelievably like I want to

362
00:14:54,144 --> 00:14:56,784
Speaker 1: say traumatizing, but it's actually just like a really on

363
00:14:56,824 --> 00:15:00,104
Speaker 1: the edge thriller, like as like suspense to traumatizing.

364
00:15:00,144 --> 00:15:03,024
Speaker 2: Some look, sometimes TV is meant to be a bit traumatizing.

365
00:15:03,104 --> 00:15:06,344
Speaker 1: It's traumatizing in that sense, but you also get to learn.

366
00:15:06,384 --> 00:15:07,824
Speaker 1: I feel like we kind of got a glimpse at

367
00:15:07,824 --> 00:15:09,584
Speaker 1: it in the first season, but you learn more about

368
00:15:09,584 --> 00:15:12,424
Speaker 1: the squid Game world and the people behind squid Game,

369
00:15:12,464 --> 00:15:14,664
Speaker 1: and the people behind the mask who watched the people.

370
00:15:14,984 --> 00:15:17,304
Speaker 2: I just want some revenge. Yeah, I'm gonna need a

371
00:15:17,344 --> 00:15:19,464
Speaker 2: side of revenge, because I was like feeling very angry

372
00:15:19,504 --> 00:15:22,864
Speaker 2: at the whole situation towards the end of that first season,

373
00:15:22,984 --> 00:15:24,944
Speaker 2: and so as I'm watching, as I started watching this

374
00:15:24,984 --> 00:15:26,664
Speaker 2: new season, I was like, I'm gonna need some cold

375
00:15:26,664 --> 00:15:27,424
Speaker 2: hard revenge in here.

376
00:15:27,504 --> 00:15:28,064
Speaker 1: It's so good.

377
00:15:28,144 --> 00:15:29,984
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need some reckoning. I'm going to need people

378
00:15:29,984 --> 00:15:31,464
Speaker 2: to be held to account. I know this on how

379
00:15:31,504 --> 00:15:32,264
Speaker 2: the world works and.

380
00:15:32,224 --> 00:15:34,064
Speaker 1: The stress of poor song Gibe. He's like, guys, I

381
00:15:34,144 --> 00:15:34,984
Speaker 1: played the games before.

382
00:15:34,984 --> 00:15:37,664
Speaker 2: I listen to me and they're like, yeah, like we

383
00:15:37,704 --> 00:15:40,064
Speaker 2: know better, which is exactly what people would do. Yeah,

384
00:15:40,064 --> 00:15:41,304
Speaker 2: we would be like I know better.

385
00:15:41,664 --> 00:15:44,344
Speaker 1: Oh it is so so good. So yeah, if you

386
00:15:44,384 --> 00:15:46,224
Speaker 1: watch season one, I feel like, if you haven't watched

387
00:15:46,224 --> 00:15:49,704
Speaker 1: season one. Definitely watched that first absolutely, like you need

388
00:15:49,784 --> 00:15:52,424
Speaker 1: to in this world, maybe take a little bit of

389
00:15:52,464 --> 00:15:55,304
Speaker 1: a break and then watch season two. It's as good.

390
00:15:55,584 --> 00:15:58,144
Speaker 1: So Squid Game two. It's out on Netflix. Now. Let

391
00:15:58,144 --> 00:15:59,104
Speaker 1: me know how much you love it.

392
00:15:59,304 --> 00:16:01,704
Speaker 2: Imagine watching Squid Game one and two back to back

393
00:16:01,744 --> 00:16:03,744
Speaker 2: for the first time and then going to like New

394
00:16:03,824 --> 00:16:06,904
Speaker 2: Year's Day lunch with your family just like a little shell.

395
00:16:07,784 --> 00:16:10,784
Speaker 1: Glasses is tampered glass.

396
00:16:11,184 --> 00:16:14,064
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, okay, get me. I want to talk about

397
00:16:14,144 --> 00:16:16,504
Speaker 2: an amazing new comedy that has only just come out

398
00:16:16,544 --> 00:16:18,864
Speaker 2: on the nineteenth of December, so you know, if you

399
00:16:18,864 --> 00:16:21,064
Speaker 2: haven't seen it, put on your watch list. It's called Late.

400
00:16:21,144 --> 00:16:24,024
Speaker 2: It came out on Binge and it's actually a US

401
00:16:24,184 --> 00:16:26,744
Speaker 2: remake of an Australian show of the same name. So

402
00:16:26,864 --> 00:16:28,624
Speaker 2: definitely watched that one as well. But I feel like

403
00:16:28,984 --> 00:16:32,224
Speaker 2: this one just really stands out because the lead actress

404
00:16:32,304 --> 00:16:34,864
Speaker 2: is Stephanie Schu, who you might know from everything everywhere

405
00:16:34,904 --> 00:16:39,384
Speaker 2: all at once. She's me God the show for you.

406
00:16:39,464 --> 00:16:41,064
Speaker 1: That made me unbelievably excited.

407
00:16:41,264 --> 00:16:42,784
Speaker 2: Oh I know, no, this is why I want to

408
00:16:42,824 --> 00:16:45,304
Speaker 2: recommend this show. This is just a personal recommendation from me.

409
00:16:45,344 --> 00:16:47,344
Speaker 2: To you, we can turn the podcast off. So a

410
00:16:47,384 --> 00:16:49,384
Speaker 2: lot of people obviously very upset that she didn't win

411
00:16:49,384 --> 00:16:52,024
Speaker 2: the Oscar for everything everywhere, all at once, and look

412
00:16:52,064 --> 00:16:54,344
Speaker 2: potentially looking back now, she should have won it. But

413
00:16:54,544 --> 00:16:56,744
Speaker 2: she's got a big future ahead of her, so she's

414
00:16:56,784 --> 00:17:01,544
Speaker 2: doing okay. So Stephanie Shoe plays Ruby, who discovers that

415
00:17:02,264 --> 00:17:04,744
Speaker 2: it's a dark comedy series, so there's a bit of death,

416
00:17:04,784 --> 00:17:06,824
Speaker 2: but it's also very light. She discovers that all of

417
00:17:06,864 --> 00:17:10,664
Speaker 2: the men that she's slept with have died, leading her

418
00:17:10,744 --> 00:17:13,144
Speaker 2: to believe that anyone who's on her kind of sex

419
00:17:13,304 --> 00:17:16,304
Speaker 2: timeline is at risk, and so she has to start

420
00:17:16,344 --> 00:17:20,784
Speaker 2: going sounds like a love life metaphorically, Yeah, we don't

421
00:17:20,824 --> 00:17:22,384
Speaker 2: know if any of your past lovers have died, but

422
00:17:22,464 --> 00:17:24,464
Speaker 2: we'll see. So it's just I don't know, it's just

423
00:17:24,464 --> 00:17:27,264
Speaker 2: just like a really fresh, funny show. She's so good

424
00:17:27,304 --> 00:17:29,104
Speaker 2: in it and as Ruby, but she has to sort

425
00:17:29,144 --> 00:17:31,344
Speaker 2: of go back and you know, tell like a bank

426
00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:33,664
Speaker 2: teller that she had a brief sexual encounter with. In

427
00:17:33,704 --> 00:17:35,704
Speaker 2: movies and TV shows often had that thing where you're like,

428
00:17:35,744 --> 00:17:37,504
Speaker 2: you know, you have someone who's had some sort of

429
00:17:37,664 --> 00:17:41,144
Speaker 2: sexual experience, whether it's like an STD or a pregnancy

430
00:17:41,424 --> 00:17:43,304
Speaker 2: or you know something they have to go and tell

431
00:17:43,344 --> 00:17:43,824
Speaker 2: them about that.

432
00:17:43,824 --> 00:17:44,984
Speaker 1: I take the morning after pill.

433
00:17:45,264 --> 00:17:47,504
Speaker 2: Yeah, that idea of having to go back and confront

434
00:17:47,504 --> 00:17:50,064
Speaker 2: someone that you've had a sexual experience with and breaking

435
00:17:50,104 --> 00:17:51,624
Speaker 2: some bad news to them. But in this case, the

436
00:17:51,624 --> 00:17:53,904
Speaker 2: bad news is that you're either already dead or you're

437
00:17:53,904 --> 00:17:57,704
Speaker 2: probably gonna die. That he might be dying soon. And

438
00:17:57,744 --> 00:17:58,744
Speaker 2: it's kind of like it's like.

439
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:00,864
Speaker 1: You to go into a man and be like, hey,

440
00:18:00,904 --> 00:18:03,224
Speaker 1: I know we did this. Because we did this, you

441
00:18:03,304 --> 00:18:04,504
Speaker 1: might Yeah.

442
00:18:04,344 --> 00:18:05,904
Speaker 2: It's like going back in you home, like sometimes you

443
00:18:05,904 --> 00:18:08,184
Speaker 2: have to go back and tell past lovers about things

444
00:18:08,184 --> 00:18:09,424
Speaker 2: and so on. This says She's like, so I just

445
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:11,384
Speaker 2: to go back and tell all the passman who are

446
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:14,824
Speaker 2: still alive that everyone I've slept with is dying under

447
00:18:14,824 --> 00:18:15,824
Speaker 2: suspicious circumstance.

448
00:18:15,824 --> 00:18:18,144
Speaker 1: Imagine their face is going like, oh, you're pregnant. They're

449
00:18:18,184 --> 00:18:18,624
Speaker 1: like worse.

450
00:18:18,784 --> 00:18:23,184
Speaker 2: It's actually so much worse for you. So late it's

451
00:18:23,224 --> 00:18:26,624
Speaker 2: on binge. Just if you're looking for like a fun

452
00:18:26,744 --> 00:18:29,784
Speaker 2: what an interesting concept? Yeah, exactly, I mean interesting concept

453
00:18:29,784 --> 00:18:30,824
Speaker 2: to watch in a comedy.

454
00:18:33,464 --> 00:18:37,864
Speaker 1: Okay, my next recommendation is another season two. It's season

455
00:18:37,904 --> 00:18:39,744
Speaker 1: two of Black Snow, which is.

456
00:18:39,704 --> 00:18:41,904
Speaker 2: Out on stand. Oh that's a good one right now.

457
00:18:42,064 --> 00:18:46,504
Speaker 1: I binged the whole thing. It is brilliant. It stars

458
00:18:46,504 --> 00:18:49,264
Speaker 1: Travis for Mel who I've also just watched his interview

459
00:18:49,344 --> 00:18:51,544
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Fallon. It's really funny.

460
00:18:51,584 --> 00:18:54,464
Speaker 2: He's a great actions, so good in everything, very good

461
00:18:54,464 --> 00:19:01,304
Speaker 2: looking Viking. You know, we stay for the good acting,

462
00:19:01,344 --> 00:19:02,464
Speaker 2: but we come for the good face.

463
00:19:02,624 --> 00:19:06,544
Speaker 1: And he plays that typical tortured detective. So he plays

464
00:19:06,664 --> 00:19:10,024
Speaker 1: James Cormac, and I always feel like the tortured detective

465
00:19:10,464 --> 00:19:13,504
Speaker 1: is such an overdone trope until I watched Black Snow

466
00:19:13,544 --> 00:19:16,624
Speaker 1: and I'm like, bring it back, bring back the sad detective.

467
00:19:17,184 --> 00:19:22,424
Speaker 1: So season two you learn more about James Cormack's personal life.

468
00:19:22,504 --> 00:19:23,944
Speaker 1: I feel like we've got a glimpse of it in

469
00:19:23,984 --> 00:19:26,264
Speaker 1: season one where we find out about his dad and

470
00:19:26,304 --> 00:19:29,144
Speaker 1: his upbringing. But now he's kind of on a part

471
00:19:29,304 --> 00:19:32,864
Speaker 1: to kind of find his brother who he assumed had

472
00:19:33,064 --> 00:19:35,424
Speaker 1: passed away. Well, he vanished when he was a younger boy,

473
00:19:35,464 --> 00:19:37,544
Speaker 1: but he assumed he'd passed away. So he's on a

474
00:19:37,584 --> 00:19:41,464
Speaker 1: path to finding his brother who disappeared, while also following

475
00:19:41,544 --> 00:19:44,344
Speaker 1: a cold case. It's about the disappearance of a girl

476
00:19:44,464 --> 00:19:48,304
Speaker 1: in Queensland named Zoe Jacobs. She disappeared on her twenty

477
00:19:48,424 --> 00:19:51,744
Speaker 1: first birthday in two thousand and three, and now it's

478
00:19:51,824 --> 00:19:53,984
Speaker 1: modern day and he's back there like dealing with the

479
00:19:53,984 --> 00:19:57,584
Speaker 1: same people. It's very similar storytelling as Season one, where

480
00:19:57,584 --> 00:20:00,184
Speaker 1: it jumps back and forth from the time the crime

481
00:20:00,264 --> 00:20:04,064
Speaker 1: happened versus now him trying to investigate everyone in It

482
00:20:04,104 --> 00:20:06,984
Speaker 1: is so brilliant and I love seeing a flashback that's

483
00:20:07,024 --> 00:20:09,264
Speaker 1: not even that long ago, Like twousand and three is

484
00:20:09,344 --> 00:20:11,864
Speaker 1: not that long ago at all, but it's like I

485
00:20:11,864 --> 00:20:14,064
Speaker 1: feel like with these detective shows and movies, it's always

486
00:20:14,104 --> 00:20:16,944
Speaker 1: like the nineties or the eighties where everything was such

487
00:20:16,984 --> 00:20:19,864
Speaker 1: a different era, but two thousand and three like seeing

488
00:20:19,904 --> 00:20:22,064
Speaker 1: that the stuff is still happening. In fact, it was

489
00:20:22,104 --> 00:20:24,984
Speaker 1: happening so much more for young women who were like

490
00:20:25,264 --> 00:20:28,024
Speaker 1: a bit different, Like she was kind of like a

491
00:20:28,064 --> 00:20:30,464
Speaker 1: rebellion who had like her own radio show, who would

492
00:20:30,504 --> 00:20:32,904
Speaker 1: stay out late and I'll tell her parents where she is,

493
00:20:32,944 --> 00:20:35,864
Speaker 1: and her parents would like fight, and then they're divorced,

494
00:20:35,984 --> 00:20:39,224
Speaker 1: and then it just like goes into like kind of

495
00:20:39,664 --> 00:20:42,664
Speaker 1: the inner monologue of a girl growing up in that era,

496
00:20:42,944 --> 00:20:47,064
Speaker 1: and it has done so well. Oh my god, everyone

497
00:20:47,144 --> 00:20:48,584
Speaker 1: just watch it. It's one of tho shows I need

498
00:20:48,624 --> 00:20:49,504
Speaker 1: to talk about right now.

499
00:20:49,744 --> 00:20:51,824
Speaker 2: Yeah, So let's coming back for a second season because

500
00:20:51,824 --> 00:20:54,824
Speaker 2: I feel like, obviously the first season was so critically acclaimed.

501
00:20:54,904 --> 00:20:57,144
Speaker 2: I love that fans loved it. Just knowing like a

502
00:20:57,224 --> 00:21:00,024
Speaker 2: little bit around the production and having sent writers to

503
00:21:00,424 --> 00:21:03,104
Speaker 2: the sets when it was filming. Just think the care

504
00:21:03,144 --> 00:21:06,224
Speaker 2: that was taken behind the scenes. Even the journalists who

505
00:21:06,464 --> 00:21:09,584
Speaker 2: went to the set visits did like cultural sensitivity training

506
00:21:09,824 --> 00:21:12,304
Speaker 2: before god, like, especially in the first season before going

507
00:21:12,424 --> 00:21:15,024
Speaker 2: like interviewing the car through. And so when you know

508
00:21:15,064 --> 00:21:17,184
Speaker 2: that level of care has been taken behind the scenes,

509
00:21:17,184 --> 00:21:19,024
Speaker 2: I think you can also see that it comes out

510
00:21:19,184 --> 00:21:19,744
Speaker 2: on the screen.

511
00:21:19,904 --> 00:21:22,544
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And like season two, I think it's

512
00:21:22,584 --> 00:21:25,264
Speaker 1: like he's kind of I don't know if there's a spoiler,

513
00:21:25,304 --> 00:21:26,824
Speaker 1: but he's a bit.

514
00:21:26,664 --> 00:21:30,464
Speaker 2: More tortured, a bit more tortured.

515
00:21:30,744 --> 00:21:32,784
Speaker 1: Of course, like a lot of his personal life is

516
00:21:32,824 --> 00:21:37,144
Speaker 1: like also probably as important or as showcased as the

517
00:21:37,144 --> 00:21:40,224
Speaker 1: main storyline of the case. So if you love him

518
00:21:40,504 --> 00:21:43,224
Speaker 1: and you love learning about his life for season two is.

519
00:21:43,144 --> 00:21:46,984
Speaker 2: The okay, Well, make a little bit emotional about this one,

520
00:21:47,064 --> 00:21:50,344
Speaker 2: because it's five years have been talking about this show

521
00:21:50,384 --> 00:21:52,544
Speaker 2: and now it's coming to an end. It is the

522
00:21:52,584 --> 00:21:56,464
Speaker 2: STAND original series Bump, which very last year that was

523
00:21:56,504 --> 00:22:01,184
Speaker 2: the correct rescis thank you Forever yea. So it's run

524
00:22:01,224 --> 00:22:03,104
Speaker 2: for five seasons, which is a long time. It's like

525
00:22:03,144 --> 00:22:05,824
Speaker 2: Stand's longest running original show and also one of it's

526
00:22:05,824 --> 00:22:09,384
Speaker 2: most successful, so that's huge. And all episodes came out

527
00:22:09,384 --> 00:22:11,504
Speaker 2: on Boxing Day for the final season. So if you

528
00:22:11,584 --> 00:22:13,104
Speaker 2: haven't watched it, I mean, you should go back and

529
00:22:13,144 --> 00:22:15,744
Speaker 2: obviously watch seasons one through to four. But if you

530
00:22:15,824 --> 00:22:17,624
Speaker 2: haven't watched it yet and you need to pick up

531
00:22:17,624 --> 00:22:20,424
Speaker 2: on season five, now would be the time. So casting

532
00:22:20,424 --> 00:22:22,664
Speaker 2: it bay back to season one if you're not a Crossbump.

533
00:22:23,104 --> 00:22:25,264
Speaker 2: It tells the story of this like you know, it's

534
00:22:25,304 --> 00:22:27,504
Speaker 2: a kind of a typical family living in Sydney. You

535
00:22:27,664 --> 00:22:30,824
Speaker 2: Claudia Carvin, who's like a school principal, and then her

536
00:22:30,984 --> 00:22:34,144
Speaker 2: daughter Claudia Carvin, who is also a producer and co

537
00:22:34,184 --> 00:22:36,664
Speaker 2: creator of the show, so this is like her mastermind.

538
00:22:36,704 --> 00:22:41,024
Speaker 2: She's so just an incredible actress and also creative. She

539
00:22:41,104 --> 00:22:44,064
Speaker 2: and her husband Dom played by Anger Sampson, have separated.

540
00:22:44,104 --> 00:22:46,224
Speaker 2: They're still living in the same house, and then they've

541
00:22:46,264 --> 00:22:48,384
Speaker 2: got two children, and one of them is a teenage

542
00:22:48,384 --> 00:22:51,744
Speaker 2: girl called Ollie. Well her four name's Olympia Ollie played

543
00:22:51,744 --> 00:22:55,304
Speaker 2: by the incredible Natalie Morris. And Ollie is a very

544
00:22:55,344 --> 00:22:58,224
Speaker 2: you know, she's like a top student. She's very serious,

545
00:22:58,664 --> 00:23:01,304
Speaker 2: really together, kind of like the golden child of the family.

546
00:23:01,824 --> 00:23:04,784
Speaker 2: And one day in the school toilet, she starts having

547
00:23:04,864 --> 00:23:07,744
Speaker 2: a bit of pain and that becomes very serious, and

548
00:23:07,784 --> 00:23:09,784
Speaker 2: she can't figure out what's happening, Like, as far as

549
00:23:09,784 --> 00:23:12,664
Speaker 2: she knows, she's a perfectly healthy, normal teenage girl, and

550
00:23:12,704 --> 00:23:14,424
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, her body feels like it's being

551
00:23:14,504 --> 00:23:17,224
Speaker 2: ripped apart with pain. They call it ambulance, and on

552
00:23:17,264 --> 00:23:19,744
Speaker 2: the way to the hospital she delivers a baby.

553
00:23:19,864 --> 00:23:21,384
Speaker 1: So Toyler baby.

554
00:23:21,624 --> 00:23:23,344
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god. They actually call her that, the

555
00:23:23,384 --> 00:23:25,984
Speaker 2: baby in the latest seasons. So she had no idea

556
00:23:26,024 --> 00:23:27,584
Speaker 2: she was pregnant, which there are a lot of case

557
00:23:27,624 --> 00:23:28,624
Speaker 2: studies of that happening.

558
00:23:28,784 --> 00:23:32,624
Speaker 1: It happened way too often. Why haven't we figured this out?

559
00:23:33,064 --> 00:23:34,304
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's just one of those things where

560
00:23:34,304 --> 00:23:35,864
Speaker 2: I can't even wrap my head around having a stomach

561
00:23:35,904 --> 00:23:36,824
Speaker 2: pain all of a sudden, being like that.

562
00:23:37,184 --> 00:23:38,784
Speaker 1: You always know someone like it's always a friend of

563
00:23:38,784 --> 00:23:39,184
Speaker 1: a friend.

564
00:23:39,504 --> 00:23:41,744
Speaker 2: Well, apparently that's how Bump started, is that people on

565
00:23:41,784 --> 00:23:43,464
Speaker 2: the show were saying that they'd heard of this happening

566
00:23:43,504 --> 00:23:45,864
Speaker 2: to people. So then she has a boyfriend and people

567
00:23:45,864 --> 00:23:48,584
Speaker 2: think that it's Lucky her boyfriend, but it actually turns

568
00:23:48,624 --> 00:23:51,144
Speaker 2: out to be Santi, another boy that she's gone to

569
00:23:51,184 --> 00:23:53,704
Speaker 2: school with, played by Carlos Sanz and Junior, and so

570
00:23:53,824 --> 00:23:55,464
Speaker 2: they didn't really know each other. They hooked up one

571
00:23:55,544 --> 00:23:57,624
Speaker 2: night at a party, like the hottie. Yeah, he's like

572
00:23:57,664 --> 00:24:00,704
Speaker 2: the kind of hotty bad boy almost of the school.

573
00:24:00,904 --> 00:24:02,664
Speaker 2: And so then all of a sudden they have this

574
00:24:02,704 --> 00:24:05,344
Speaker 2: baby together and they've already slept together once, so it's

575
00:24:05,344 --> 00:24:07,664
Speaker 2: about them kind of and they start to fall in love,

576
00:24:07,704 --> 00:24:09,744
Speaker 2: which I think is really cute as they co parent

577
00:24:09,824 --> 00:24:12,064
Speaker 2: their daughter, who they called just Cinda, which is so

578
00:24:12,184 --> 00:24:14,104
Speaker 2: funny because it was at the time when j Cinda

579
00:24:14,144 --> 00:24:17,144
Speaker 2: Arjenne was the Prime Minister of New Zealand and I

580
00:24:17,184 --> 00:24:19,264
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, girl, how she's amazing, We love her,

581
00:24:19,304 --> 00:24:22,024
Speaker 2: and You're like, that's exactly what a sixteen year old

582
00:24:22,024 --> 00:24:24,184
Speaker 2: girl in Australia would call her baby at the time.

583
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:26,624
Speaker 2: It's so funny because we watched the first few episodes

584
00:24:26,624 --> 00:24:28,944
Speaker 2: of Bump season five together and there's a joke in

585
00:24:28,984 --> 00:24:31,544
Speaker 2: there about her name being like feeling dated because her

586
00:24:31,584 --> 00:24:32,784
Speaker 2: name is just Cinda.

587
00:24:32,904 --> 00:24:35,544
Speaker 1: I had a baby, I'd be like, coma, yeah, exactly,

588
00:24:35,704 --> 00:24:36,544
Speaker 1: That's exactly it.

589
00:24:36,864 --> 00:24:39,104
Speaker 2: So as the show goes on, it's about these two

590
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:42,824
Speaker 2: different families. So it's about Ollie and Santi figuring out

591
00:24:42,824 --> 00:24:45,224
Speaker 2: how to be high school students and everything that entails,

592
00:24:45,224 --> 00:24:47,544
Speaker 2: figuring out how to have this new relationship between the

593
00:24:47,544 --> 00:24:49,104
Speaker 2: two of them, but also they've got a baby that

594
00:24:49,104 --> 00:24:52,984
Speaker 2: they're now responsible for. It's about also like their families

595
00:24:53,024 --> 00:24:55,584
Speaker 2: coming together and like different things that happened in their lives.

596
00:24:55,864 --> 00:24:57,824
Speaker 2: And now that we're in season five, there's been a

597
00:24:57,824 --> 00:25:00,144
Speaker 2: bit of a time jump. So in season five we

598
00:25:00,184 --> 00:25:02,384
Speaker 2: saw them get married in the previous season, which was

599
00:25:02,584 --> 00:25:05,864
Speaker 2: very romantic and lovely, and now we find them at

600
00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:08,424
Speaker 2: this place where they're both adults. They're trying to figure

601
00:25:08,424 --> 00:25:10,504
Speaker 2: out their lives. They also have like a six year

602
00:25:10,504 --> 00:25:14,184
Speaker 2: old child, and Olie is pregnant. Again, there's so much

603
00:25:14,224 --> 00:25:15,344
Speaker 2: going with their family.

604
00:25:15,104 --> 00:25:16,624
Speaker 1: And then their parents are getting older.

605
00:25:16,784 --> 00:25:18,664
Speaker 2: Yeah, their parents are getting older. There's different things to

606
00:25:18,704 --> 00:25:22,184
Speaker 2: deal with there, and also Claudia Carvan's character of Angie

607
00:25:22,544 --> 00:25:25,664
Speaker 2: is going through some really big health struggles regarding cancer,

608
00:25:25,664 --> 00:25:28,144
Speaker 2: and you sort of see her looking at her life

609
00:25:28,144 --> 00:25:30,624
Speaker 2: and what she's leaving behind with her children, and so

610
00:25:30,664 --> 00:25:32,624
Speaker 2: you have these and at the same time, when Ollie's

611
00:25:32,664 --> 00:25:34,824
Speaker 2: expecting a new baby, and so you have these kind

612
00:25:34,824 --> 00:25:37,464
Speaker 2: of different parallels of life and motherhood. And it's so

613
00:25:37,544 --> 00:25:40,264
Speaker 2: interesting because I like so many Christmases because Bump's been

614
00:25:40,264 --> 00:25:42,304
Speaker 2: coming out on Boxing Day for the last couple of years,

615
00:25:42,424 --> 00:25:44,904
Speaker 2: so so many of my Christmas holidays have revolved around

616
00:25:45,304 --> 00:25:47,824
Speaker 2: watching Bump, and you know, like kind of living in

617
00:25:47,864 --> 00:25:50,264
Speaker 2: that world. And it was interesting because last year I

618
00:25:50,304 --> 00:25:51,664
Speaker 2: went to the Bump set and I was watching some

619
00:25:51,744 --> 00:25:54,184
Speaker 2: filming and I was interviewing the cast, especially because they

620
00:25:54,744 --> 00:25:57,464
Speaker 2: introduced in the later seasons like Steph Tisdale and Dylan

621
00:25:57,504 --> 00:26:00,464
Speaker 2: or Kodd's characters. I just think, are so give those

622
00:26:00,464 --> 00:26:03,464
Speaker 2: two a spin off. They're so funny together. And I

623
00:26:03,504 --> 00:26:05,024
Speaker 2: was sitting on the set and then I started talking

624
00:26:05,024 --> 00:26:07,544
Speaker 2: to Claudia carbon and we were just talking at the

625
00:26:07,544 --> 00:26:09,624
Speaker 2: show and what it means to people, and I was

626
00:26:09,624 --> 00:26:11,344
Speaker 2: telling her how much I loved it, and she was like,

627
00:26:11,384 --> 00:26:13,024
Speaker 2: you know, cause she's also a co creator and producer,

628
00:26:13,064 --> 00:26:14,624
Speaker 2: and she was like, yeah, why do you love it?

629
00:26:14,624 --> 00:26:17,384
Speaker 2: And I started saying, Oh, I just find it really cozy,

630
00:26:17,464 --> 00:26:19,784
Speaker 2: and I find it really lovely, and it's this story

631
00:26:19,784 --> 00:26:22,184
Speaker 2: of family and I love being in the house that

632
00:26:22,304 --> 00:26:24,344
Speaker 2: you know, the characters live in. And she loved that,

633
00:26:24,544 --> 00:26:26,544
Speaker 2: but she also said, yeah, it's interesting that you say

634
00:26:26,544 --> 00:26:28,224
Speaker 2: that because so many people say that to me of like,

635
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:30,584
Speaker 2: I just find this show so comforting, but she said, like,

636
00:26:30,624 --> 00:26:33,464
Speaker 2: I think it's also very boundary pushing. The things we've

637
00:26:33,504 --> 00:26:36,024
Speaker 2: talked about and the issues the characters talk about, and

638
00:26:36,104 --> 00:26:38,024
Speaker 2: even her like character like falling in love with a

639
00:26:38,064 --> 00:26:40,464
Speaker 2: woman in later life and all these other things and

640
00:26:40,504 --> 00:26:43,584
Speaker 2: you know, teen pregnancy and motherhood and things that happened,

641
00:26:43,584 --> 00:26:45,824
Speaker 2: and there's an abortion storyline in this new season. And

642
00:26:45,864 --> 00:26:48,024
Speaker 2: she was saying to me, like, I love that people

643
00:26:48,064 --> 00:26:50,784
Speaker 2: find this show lovely and comforting and family centered, because

644
00:26:50,784 --> 00:26:52,864
Speaker 2: it's meant to be that. But it's also this big

645
00:26:53,224 --> 00:26:55,824
Speaker 2: genre pushing show in Australia that tackles a lot of

646
00:26:55,864 --> 00:26:58,024
Speaker 2: different issues from like race and age and family and

647
00:26:58,064 --> 00:27:00,704
Speaker 2: all these things. And I also think that's super important

648
00:27:01,224 --> 00:27:03,264
Speaker 2: to put in as well. Is that just because it's

649
00:27:03,304 --> 00:27:05,344
Speaker 2: a very like almost like a female led show that

650
00:27:05,464 --> 00:27:08,184
Speaker 2: centers on motherhood. We do tend to sometimes to write

651
00:27:08,184 --> 00:27:10,224
Speaker 2: it off. It's like, oh, it's just really nice and comforting.

652
00:27:10,624 --> 00:27:14,104
Speaker 2: Is like no, it also like takes these big storytelling swings.

653
00:27:14,144 --> 00:27:17,584
Speaker 2: So yeah, the final season of Bomb, She's allegend Stan.
