And we're also diving into one 18 00:00:55,634 --> 00:00:57,714 Speaker 2: of the most talked about pop culture moments of the 19 00:00:57,794 --> 00:01:00,993 Speaker 2: year so far, Harry Styles album release, which is why 20 00:01:01,074 --> 00:01:03,394 Speaker 2: you're here, the ultimate expert on an expert. 21 00:01:03,514 --> 00:01:06,833 Speaker 1: I proclaimed last week Harry week, but I'm saying it again. 22 00:01:07,554 --> 00:01:09,753 Speaker 2: Let's just call it Harry Mon Harry month. And we're 23 00:01:09,794 --> 00:01:11,714 Speaker 2: sure that you guys have spent the weekend digesting the 24 00:01:11,794 --> 00:01:14,314 Speaker 2: new album. We certainly have, and we've got some very 25 00:01:14,354 --> 00:01:16,754 Speaker 2: serious thoughts to share that are worthy of a deep dive. 26 00:01:17,394 --> 00:01:19,754 Speaker 2: But first we're going to get into the race towards 27 00:01:19,794 --> 00:01:22,794 Speaker 2: the ninety eighth Academy Awards. Yes, the Oscars are just 28 00:01:22,834 --> 00:01:25,834 Speaker 2: one week away, and this year the controversies are feeling 29 00:01:25,914 --> 00:01:29,914 Speaker 2: like a little bit different. So obviously the final weeks 30 00:01:29,914 --> 00:01:32,554 Speaker 2: of Oscars voting is quite a big moment in Hollywood, 31 00:01:32,714 --> 00:01:34,554 Speaker 2: and this year, like the Oscars are a little bit later, 32 00:01:34,554 --> 00:01:36,834 Speaker 2: they're kind of mid March, so it's really dragging on 33 00:01:36,874 --> 00:01:37,394 Speaker 2: a little bit. 34 00:01:37,474 --> 00:01:40,314 Speaker 1: They are I, you know, normally like we'd be we'd 35 00:01:40,354 --> 00:01:42,794 Speaker 1: be doing Oscars today. It feels like this would have 36 00:01:42,834 --> 00:01:43,354 Speaker 1: been Oscars. 37 00:01:43,434 --> 00:01:45,314 Speaker 2: Wait, this should have been Oscar to day. Wouldn't we 38 00:01:45,354 --> 00:01:47,474 Speaker 2: have had so much fun talking about it? But no, 39 00:01:47,594 --> 00:01:48,274 Speaker 2: it's next week. 40 00:01:48,474 --> 00:01:50,674 Speaker 1: And yes, so it is a bit later this year 41 00:01:50,714 --> 00:01:52,234 Speaker 1: for who knows what race who knows? 42 00:01:52,314 --> 00:01:54,954 Speaker 2: And the voting closed on Thursday evening last week, which 43 00:01:54,994 --> 00:01:57,394 Speaker 2: was like Friday our time, so the voting has only 44 00:01:57,514 --> 00:02:00,794 Speaker 2: just closed off. And this year the Oscar ballot is 45 00:02:00,834 --> 00:02:03,674 Speaker 2: actually synced to like the Academy screening Room because one 46 00:02:03,674 --> 00:02:05,994 Speaker 2: of the things that happens every year with Oscar's voting 47 00:02:06,154 --> 00:02:07,954 Speaker 2: is that it comes out of the bunch of people didn't 48 00:02:07,954 --> 00:02:08,594 Speaker 2: watch anything. 49 00:02:08,954 --> 00:02:11,834 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so weird, wouldn't you think exactly, It's not 50 00:02:11,874 --> 00:02:14,034 Speaker 1: a heavy lift as far as a job is concerned. 51 00:02:14,234 --> 00:02:17,354 Speaker 1: Please watch the movie that you are evaluating. 52 00:02:17,554 --> 00:02:20,074 Speaker 2: Yes, so this year it's actually like a rule, but 53 00:02:20,074 --> 00:02:21,914 Speaker 2: they can still get around it, I believe. But so 54 00:02:22,154 --> 00:02:24,514 Speaker 2: until they watch the movies, it's like grade out on 55 00:02:24,554 --> 00:02:26,594 Speaker 2: their ballot and they don't get to vote until they've 56 00:02:26,634 --> 00:02:29,994 Speaker 2: seen it. There are eleven thousand members and ten thousand 57 00:02:29,994 --> 00:02:33,913 Speaker 2: active voters of the Academy and only one than three 58 00:02:33,994 --> 00:02:36,434 Speaker 2: hundred of those other actors. But that's actually like the 59 00:02:36,554 --> 00:02:39,434 Speaker 2: largest branch. So there's obviously different kinds of Hollywood creatives 60 00:02:39,474 --> 00:02:42,274 Speaker 2: and all of that, but predominantly the body is still 61 00:02:42,314 --> 00:02:45,994 Speaker 2: majority white, majority American, and majority male, with only thirty 62 00:02:45,994 --> 00:02:49,154 Speaker 2: five percent being women. So it is obviously still a 63 00:02:49,314 --> 00:02:53,674 Speaker 2: very traditionally white male American Hollywood voting panel. But some 64 00:02:53,714 --> 00:02:57,114 Speaker 2: of them have actually spoken to Variety anonymously about who 65 00:02:57,114 --> 00:03:01,034 Speaker 2: they've voted for, and it's very interesting. Someone voted for 66 00:03:01,114 --> 00:03:03,674 Speaker 2: Brad Pitt's Formula one to win Best Picture. 67 00:03:04,074 --> 00:03:06,714 Speaker 1: Well, see, I wouldn't have been eligible to vote for 68 00:03:06,714 --> 00:03:08,554 Speaker 1: that because I didn't see it. 69 00:03:08,594 --> 00:03:12,434 Speaker 2: And who should nobody in someone actually from that movie, 70 00:03:12,434 --> 00:03:14,154 Speaker 2: and no one should have gone to someone needed to 71 00:03:14,154 --> 00:03:17,354 Speaker 2: see it. But one of the interesting things is that 72 00:03:17,474 --> 00:03:19,354 Speaker 2: It's kind of Sinners has been seen as like a 73 00:03:19,354 --> 00:03:22,274 Speaker 2: bit of an underdog right throughout this whole season, up 74 00:03:22,354 --> 00:03:25,633 Speaker 2: until up until the Actor Awards, where Michael B. Jordan 75 00:03:25,914 --> 00:03:29,114 Speaker 2: was awarded Best Actor, and the Actor Awards, which used 76 00:03:29,114 --> 00:03:32,474 Speaker 2: to be called SAG is kind of like the pre Oscars, 77 00:03:32,514 --> 00:03:33,834 Speaker 2: the Oscars light it is. 78 00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:36,034 Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not gonna say dress to hers. That's 79 00:03:36,074 --> 00:03:38,074 Speaker 1: not the right that's not the right term for it. 80 00:03:38,234 --> 00:03:42,194 Speaker 1: But it is the biggest indicator that we have as 81 00:03:42,194 --> 00:03:45,554 Speaker 1: to what the Oscars voting will kind of be like. 82 00:03:45,714 --> 00:03:48,474 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Oscar's voting is still open for several 83 00:03:48,554 --> 00:03:51,714 Speaker 2: days after the SAG Slash Actor Awards take place, so 84 00:03:51,754 --> 00:03:53,274 Speaker 2: it does have a heavy influence. 85 00:03:53,394 --> 00:03:53,634 Speaker 1: Yeah. 86 00:03:53,754 --> 00:03:55,754 Speaker 2: The other thing that has a really big influence is 87 00:03:55,874 --> 00:03:59,834 Speaker 2: social media nowadays. Yes, So something that happened last week is, yes, 88 00:03:59,874 --> 00:04:02,634 Speaker 2: Michael won the SAG Award, the Actor Award, but there 89 00:04:02,674 --> 00:04:05,154 Speaker 2: was also some really like viral press for Sinners going 90 00:04:05,154 --> 00:04:07,434 Speaker 2: around at the same time. And I actually saw someone 91 00:04:07,474 --> 00:04:09,874 Speaker 2: say this clip could win him the Oscar. But there 92 00:04:09,914 --> 00:04:11,954 Speaker 2: is a clip of his co star wound Me saying 93 00:04:11,994 --> 00:04:14,154 Speaker 2: that when he played Smoke and Stack, he played a 94 00:04:14,234 --> 00:04:16,514 Speaker 2: duel role in Sinners. When he was one of them, 95 00:04:16,514 --> 00:04:19,634 Speaker 2: he had dimples, when he was another, he had no dimples. 96 00:04:19,914 --> 00:04:23,713 Speaker 2: He literally controlled his facial dimples to play two different men. 97 00:04:24,714 --> 00:04:26,713 Speaker 2: How do you even I don't even understand how you 98 00:04:26,714 --> 00:04:28,713 Speaker 2: do it? And she didn't understand how he did it either, 99 00:04:29,073 --> 00:04:29,634 Speaker 2: And it's like. 100 00:04:29,794 --> 00:04:34,033 Speaker 1: That is the worst face because I tried to have 101 00:04:34,113 --> 00:04:37,034 Speaker 1: a go at like seeing if I could control a dimple. 102 00:04:37,234 --> 00:04:38,954 Speaker 1: I don't how did he do this? 103 00:04:39,113 --> 00:04:41,193 Speaker 2: I don't understand how you do it. Put he wore 104 00:04:41,234 --> 00:04:43,754 Speaker 2: like different sized shoes to control like his gait when 105 00:04:43,753 --> 00:04:45,474 Speaker 2: he was walking. So there was a lot of very 106 00:04:45,474 --> 00:04:47,794 Speaker 2: good viral press for Michael B. Jordan this week. Do 107 00:04:47,834 --> 00:04:49,833 Speaker 2: you think he's in with a shot of winning next week? 108 00:04:50,274 --> 00:04:52,433 Speaker 1: My money is on him actually, to be honest, I 109 00:04:52,674 --> 00:04:54,034 Speaker 1: can see him taking home the gong. 110 00:04:54,433 --> 00:04:56,474 Speaker 2: I think so, and I'm very hopeful. And the other 111 00:04:56,753 --> 00:04:59,713 Speaker 2: main hopeful who is currently being canceled on the internet 112 00:04:59,794 --> 00:05:01,993 Speaker 2: and was being canceled in the week long run up 113 00:05:01,993 --> 00:05:05,354 Speaker 2: to the Oscars was Jesse Buckley? Do you know why 114 00:05:05,433 --> 00:05:07,113 Speaker 2: Jesse Buckley was being canceled this week? 115 00:05:07,193 --> 00:05:09,914 Speaker 1: What shocking thing did Jesse Buckley do? 116 00:05:10,914 --> 00:05:13,154 Speaker 2: She said that she once hated a cat. 117 00:05:14,313 --> 00:05:18,513 Speaker 1: Oh, a cat, a literal cat, like a literal. 118 00:05:17,433 --> 00:05:19,914 Speaker 2: Cat, no, which a lot of people, which a lot 119 00:05:19,953 --> 00:05:21,473 Speaker 2: of people hate, and also is like a bit of 120 00:05:21,474 --> 00:05:24,474 Speaker 2: a cancellable opinion, I guess, But no, she is being 121 00:05:24,513 --> 00:05:27,593 Speaker 2: canceled for quote unquote hating cats. She literally had to 122 00:05:27,594 --> 00:05:30,073 Speaker 2: go on late night TV and issue a formal statement, 123 00:05:30,513 --> 00:05:33,993 Speaker 2: and The Guardian wrote an article headlined kitty karma Jesse 124 00:05:34,073 --> 00:05:37,234 Speaker 2: Buckley tries to claw back approval from raging cat lovers. Oh, 125 00:05:37,274 --> 00:05:40,754 Speaker 2: someone had a lot of fun. I didn't get to 126 00:05:40,794 --> 00:05:43,674 Speaker 2: write that, but basically this is like what is going 127 00:05:43,674 --> 00:05:47,113 Speaker 2: on now with I guess social media and its involvement 128 00:05:47,154 --> 00:05:49,753 Speaker 2: in the academy is people dug up this three month 129 00:05:49,794 --> 00:05:53,753 Speaker 2: old podcast clip where the Hamnet actress made a comment 130 00:05:53,953 --> 00:05:56,593 Speaker 2: and she even joked I'm gonna get canceled, but not 131 00:05:56,674 --> 00:05:58,953 Speaker 2: at the time. No, in the Oscar week she gets canceled. 132 00:05:59,193 --> 00:06:02,113 Speaker 2: She said when she started dating her now partner, his 133 00:06:02,313 --> 00:06:04,553 Speaker 2: cats staged a coup against her, and she would come 134 00:06:04,594 --> 00:06:06,714 Speaker 2: home and there would be poo on her pillow, and 135 00:06:06,753 --> 00:06:09,514 Speaker 2: she said, quote, it's me all the cats, but I won. 136 00:06:09,753 --> 00:06:11,914 Speaker 1: Okay, but it sounds like the cat hated her. She 137 00:06:11,914 --> 00:06:13,154 Speaker 1: sounds like the cat hated her. 138 00:06:13,794 --> 00:06:16,473 Speaker 2: And then instead she's getting canceled for her hating cats. 139 00:06:16,513 --> 00:06:18,153 Speaker 2: And she had to go on The Tonight Show with 140 00:06:18,234 --> 00:06:21,513 Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon last week the night before Oscar's voting close 141 00:06:21,594 --> 00:06:24,073 Speaker 2: it and by the way, people were literally writing articles 142 00:06:24,073 --> 00:06:26,713 Speaker 2: being like, is this going to cost Jesse Buckley the Oscar? 143 00:06:26,753 --> 00:06:27,674 Speaker 2: And I don't think it will. 144 00:06:27,794 --> 00:06:28,834 Speaker 1: I don't think it will either. 145 00:06:28,953 --> 00:06:30,714 Speaker 2: But she had to go and Jimmy Fallon and she said, 146 00:06:30,753 --> 00:06:32,833 Speaker 2: I need to clarify something for all cat lovers in 147 00:06:32,834 --> 00:06:34,794 Speaker 2: the world. I am a lover of cats. I woke 148 00:06:34,873 --> 00:06:36,674 Speaker 2: up this morning to the world thinking that I really 149 00:06:36,674 --> 00:06:38,593 Speaker 2: don't love cats, and it weighed on me all day. 150 00:06:38,674 --> 00:06:39,633 Speaker 2: I felt sick. 151 00:06:40,354 --> 00:06:42,354 Speaker 1: Well, the poor thing probably not as sick as she 152 00:06:42,393 --> 00:06:44,193 Speaker 1: felt when she found the cat who want a pillow? 153 00:06:44,234 --> 00:06:45,753 Speaker 2: She woke up with our cat, poo want a pillow. 154 00:06:45,753 --> 00:06:48,594 Speaker 2: I think she's perfectly justified. But she does say that 155 00:06:48,753 --> 00:06:49,714 Speaker 2: there was a misconception. 156 00:06:49,834 --> 00:06:50,553 Speaker 1: She likes cats. 157 00:06:50,594 --> 00:06:53,073 Speaker 2: It's fine. She even auditioned wants to be in the 158 00:06:53,154 --> 00:06:55,674 Speaker 2: musical Cats, and she said she was terrible. So for 159 00:06:55,714 --> 00:06:57,713 Speaker 2: all the Oscars voters out there, she tried to do 160 00:06:57,753 --> 00:06:59,634 Speaker 2: one last push to say, please don't cancel me and 161 00:06:59,674 --> 00:07:01,033 Speaker 2: also still vote for me for an Oscar. 162 00:07:01,113 --> 00:07:04,234 Speaker 1: You don't hate cats. They're also, as we said, old 163 00:07:04,274 --> 00:07:06,193 Speaker 1: white males. They'll all be dog people. 164 00:07:06,393 --> 00:07:09,193 Speaker 2: She'll be fine, They'll be perfectly fine. So while that 165 00:07:09,234 --> 00:07:11,674 Speaker 2: was a bit of a ridiculous and light drama, there 166 00:07:11,754 --> 00:07:14,514 Speaker 2: is actually one controversy that could have cost an actor 167 00:07:14,594 --> 00:07:19,354 Speaker 2: his Oscar.

Again very old, very white, very male. 194 00:08:31,114 --> 00:08:35,194 Speaker 2: But his Marty Supreme Oscars run slash generally just his 195 00:08:35,274 --> 00:08:37,874 Speaker 2: press tour run has been filled with like unconventional things 196 00:08:37,914 --> 00:08:40,714 Speaker 2: like he's got Mrty Supreme jackets that all the Kardashians 197 00:08:40,754 --> 00:08:43,953 Speaker 2: are wearing.

And he was serving that up. 205 00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:02,674 Speaker 2: He was, and he kind of said, like the whole 206 00:09:02,674 --> 00:09:04,754 Speaker 2: thing was he was embodying the vibe of Marty and 207 00:09:04,794 --> 00:09:06,634 Speaker 2: he was just trying to get like bombs in seats 208 00:09:06,634 --> 00:09:08,434 Speaker 2: in the theater and he wanted to make sure people 209 00:09:08,434 --> 00:09:09,034 Speaker 2: went to see it. 210 00:09:09,074 --> 00:09:11,074 Speaker 1: And I think it was kind of like a hard sell. 211 00:09:11,234 --> 00:09:13,914 Speaker 1: I would not have been interested in seeing it had 212 00:09:13,954 --> 00:09:16,234 Speaker 1: I just seen like the top line notes of this 213 00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:19,354 Speaker 1: Yeah film Ping Pong Weavy, Yeah, Like why would I care? 214 00:09:19,434 --> 00:09:20,114 Speaker 2: Period drama? 215 00:09:20,274 --> 00:09:22,834 Speaker 1: Yeah, But he had to make people care and I 216 00:09:22,834 --> 00:09:23,394 Speaker 1: think he did. 217 00:09:23,474 --> 00:09:25,314 Speaker 2: He did, and he kind of said as well, like 218 00:09:25,354 --> 00:09:27,554 Speaker 2: people's attention spans are so short now, how do you 219 00:09:27,594 --> 00:09:29,714 Speaker 2: convince them to go to the cinema? And he was like, 220 00:09:29,754 --> 00:09:31,314 Speaker 2: I have an audience, so I engage with them, and 221 00:09:31,314 --> 00:09:33,074 Speaker 2: I give it one hundred and fifty percent, And he 222 00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:36,154 Speaker 2: definitely did. And part of that was doing a Q 223 00:09:36,274 --> 00:09:39,674 Speaker 2: and A with Matthew McConaughey at the University of Texas 224 00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:42,274 Speaker 2: where Matthew is actually a lecturer. Wouldn't you just love 225 00:09:42,394 --> 00:09:45,394 Speaker 2: to sit in on one of those chefs? It would 226 00:09:45,394 --> 00:09:48,594 Speaker 2: be incredible, but also maybe just too much. I don't 227 00:09:48,594 --> 00:09:50,714 Speaker 2: know if I could handle that. Very distracting, very distracting. 228 00:09:50,954 --> 00:09:53,914 Speaker 2: So Laura and I did unpack that whole interview segment 229 00:09:54,034 --> 00:09:56,234 Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago on the pod when it first happened. 230 00:09:56,594 --> 00:09:59,314 Speaker 2: But as I mentioned before, as you get towards the 231 00:09:59,354 --> 00:10:01,914 Speaker 2: end of Oscars voting, people really start to dig into 232 00:10:02,034 --> 00:10:05,554 Speaker 2: old interviews. They start recirculating clips, and something that happened 233 00:10:05,634 --> 00:10:08,594 Speaker 2: last week was a rece circulated clip of Timothy and 234 00:10:08,634 --> 00:10:13,194 Speaker 2: Matthew talking went viral and it did not paint Timothy 235 00:10:13,274 --> 00:10:15,994 Speaker 2: in the best of lights. So as part of the 236 00:10:15,994 --> 00:10:19,154 Speaker 2: conversation between Matthew McConaughey and Timothy, which if you didn't 237 00:10:19,154 --> 00:10:21,114 Speaker 2: listen to our other episode, the tie in there is 238 00:10:21,154 --> 00:10:24,194 Speaker 2: they were both in Interstellar. Matthew more famously so was 239 00:10:24,234 --> 00:10:27,034 Speaker 2: in Interstellar. Timothy played the younger version of his son, 240 00:10:27,154 --> 00:10:29,834 Speaker 2: and Timmy has really been working hard to make sure 241 00:10:29,834 --> 00:10:32,274 Speaker 2: that he's like tied to Interstellar and that people see 242 00:10:32,354 --> 00:10:35,914 Speaker 2: him as like this great serious actor who came up 243 00:10:35,914 --> 00:10:38,754 Speaker 2: with like a Christopher Nolan film, whereas obviously most people 244 00:10:38,794 --> 00:10:40,834 Speaker 2: more so associate He's come up with call Me by 245 00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:43,354 Speaker 2: Your Name and Little Women. But it's very much been 246 00:10:43,394 --> 00:10:46,074 Speaker 2: about this rebranding exercise he's been in of being like, 247 00:10:46,194 --> 00:10:48,834 Speaker 2: I'm a film guy, I'm a movie buff, I'm so 248 00:10:48,994 --> 00:10:51,994 Speaker 2: edgy all that jazz. Part of the conversation was them 249 00:10:51,994 --> 00:10:54,594 Speaker 2: talking about like people's eroded attention spans and like can 250 00:10:54,634 --> 00:10:58,594 Speaker 2: people even watch slower pace movies anymore? And what Timothy 251 00:10:58,674 --> 00:11:01,154 Speaker 2: said was you do have to sort of wave a 252 00:11:01,154 --> 00:11:03,634 Speaker 2: flag of hey, this is a serious movie, and some 253 00:11:03,674 --> 00:11:06,394 Speaker 2: people do want to be entertained and quickly. And Timothy 254 00:11:06,434 --> 00:11:08,874 Speaker 2: said he's right in the middle. He said, I admire 255 00:11:08,914 --> 00:11:10,634 Speaker 2: people and I've done it myself, who go on a 256 00:11:10,634 --> 00:11:12,554 Speaker 2: talk show and say, we've got a movie to keep 257 00:11:12,634 --> 00:11:15,194 Speaker 2: theaters alive. We've got to keep this genre alive. And 258 00:11:15,234 --> 00:11:17,114 Speaker 2: another part of me feels like if people want to 259 00:11:17,114 --> 00:11:19,674 Speaker 2: see it like Barbie or like Oppenheimer, they're just gonna 260 00:11:19,714 --> 00:11:21,394 Speaker 2: go and see it and go out of their way 261 00:11:21,434 --> 00:11:22,914 Speaker 2: to be loud and proud about it. So he's talking 262 00:11:22,914 --> 00:11:24,994 Speaker 2: about how much people love movies and all that jazz. 263 00:11:25,554 --> 00:11:28,154 Speaker 2: What he then says is I don't want to be 264 00:11:28,194 --> 00:11:30,994 Speaker 2: working in ballet or opera where it's like, hey, keep 265 00:11:31,034 --> 00:11:33,594 Speaker 2: this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore. 266 00:11:34,034 --> 00:11:36,394 Speaker 2: All respect to ballet and opera people out there. And 267 00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:38,914 Speaker 2: then the crowd kind of goes a bit quiet, and 268 00:11:38,954 --> 00:11:41,874 Speaker 2: he says, I just lost fourteen cents in viewership. I'm 269 00:11:41,874 --> 00:11:44,794 Speaker 2: taking shots at them for no reason. And then Matthew says, 270 00:11:45,114 --> 00:11:47,194 Speaker 2: that's not a shot. I hear what you're saying, and 271 00:11:47,234 --> 00:11:50,474 Speaker 2: they both giggle and Timothy start singing some opera yeah. 272 00:11:50,554 --> 00:11:57,634 Speaker 1: Firstly, like here, I love how he says, I don't 273 00:11:57,634 --> 00:11:59,754 Speaker 1: want to work in ballet and opera.

Australia did a really great series of 308 00:13:20,474 --> 00:13:22,674 Speaker 1: memes of you know, Timmy crying at the end of 309 00:13:22,714 --> 00:13:27,634 Speaker 1: call me by your name, which was always like memed yeah, 310 00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:30,874 Speaker 1: and put like moments from famous operas of when they 311 00:13:30,914 --> 00:13:33,634 Speaker 1: were like really heart wrenching moments.

But there were 314 00:13:38,874 --> 00:13:42,314 Speaker 2: just so many incredible videos of Ballerina's you know, responding 315 00:13:42,314 --> 00:13:44,754 Speaker 2: and dancing while the sound of Timothy talking played over 316 00:13:44,794 --> 00:13:47,234 Speaker 2: the top. There were obviously all of these official statements 317 00:13:47,274 --> 00:13:50,074 Speaker 2: as well, and also just like really like, even I'm 318 00:13:50,154 --> 00:13:52,754 Speaker 2: not that involved in opera or ballet, but even people 319 00:13:52,794 --> 00:13:55,154 Speaker 2: I know who like uh, like mister Copeland and people 320 00:13:55,194 --> 00:14:00,554 Speaker 2: like that talking about how artistic and incredible their art 321 00:14:00,594 --> 00:14:03,874 Speaker 2: forms are forms and like that. It's just so crazy 322 00:14:03,874 --> 00:14:06,474 Speaker 2: to disrespect that when you yourself are part of the arts, 323 00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:07,114 Speaker 2: it's insane. 324 00:14:07,314 --> 00:14:09,354 Speaker 1: And you think about like the operas and the ballets 325 00:14:09,394 --> 00:14:13,594 Speaker 1: that have existed for so so so long, that have 326 00:14:13,834 --> 00:14:17,234 Speaker 1: still being performed and still being like widely loved by audiences, 327 00:14:17,594 --> 00:14:22,114 Speaker 1: and that will continue to be long after Timote's gone, 328 00:14:22,434 --> 00:14:24,514 Speaker 1: and we will still be going, like people will still 329 00:14:24,514 --> 00:14:27,314 Speaker 1: be going and seeing Giselle at the ballet and Lobo 330 00:14:27,474 --> 00:14:31,114 Speaker 1: m at the opera, Like these art forms they're not dying. No, 331 00:14:31,514 --> 00:14:35,354 Speaker 1: they're just not like the idea of like popular, yes, 332 00:14:36,354 --> 00:14:38,394 Speaker 1: is what's come into play here. 333 00:14:38,474 --> 00:14:41,354 Speaker 2: And I do think that's what he's tried to say, 334 00:14:41,834 --> 00:14:44,114 Speaker 2: and it's been pointed out actually by one of the 335 00:14:44,234 --> 00:14:46,354 Speaker 2: opera singers who commented on this in an interview with 336 00:14:46,394 --> 00:14:50,434 Speaker 2: Hollywood Reporter, but he didn't say it eloquently enough to 337 00:14:50,554 --> 00:14:52,794 Speaker 2: land the point. And I think what he's tried to 338 00:14:52,834 --> 00:14:57,114 Speaker 2: say is like, yes, those are still incredibly popular art forms, 339 00:14:57,314 --> 00:14:59,634 Speaker 2: but not necessarily with the general public the way that 340 00:14:59,674 --> 00:15:01,754 Speaker 2: they once were. But again, things like that come down 341 00:15:01,754 --> 00:15:04,554 Speaker 2: to costs, they come down to availability, and it doesn't 342 00:15:04,554 --> 00:15:08,074 Speaker 2: come down to like cultural relevance of opera, ballet. But 343 00:15:08,154 --> 00:15:09,834 Speaker 2: what I found really interesting is this is not the 344 00:15:09,834 --> 00:15:12,474 Speaker 2: first time he's tried to make this point. And I 345 00:15:12,514 --> 00:15:15,994 Speaker 2: didn't know this because I hasn't seen it until obviously 346 00:15:16,034 --> 00:15:18,834 Speaker 2: this sort of resurfaced as a result. But on at 347 00:15:18,914 --> 00:15:21,994 Speaker 2: least two other occasions he has said the exact same thing. 348 00:15:22,314 --> 00:15:24,674 Speaker 2: So in twenty nineteen on The Graham Norton Show, while 349 00:15:24,714 --> 00:15:26,754 Speaker 2: sitting next to Laura Linney, this is what he had 350 00:15:26,794 --> 00:15:27,114 Speaker 2: to say. 351 00:15:27,314 --> 00:15:30,554 Speaker 1: I love movies, I love acting. I love going to movies. 352 00:15:30,794 --> 00:15:32,914 Speaker 1: I was kind of getting scared when I was younger 353 00:15:32,914 --> 00:15:34,994 Speaker 1: that maybe he was becoming like opera or something like 354 00:15:35,034 --> 00:15:36,994 Speaker 1: an outdated art form or something. 355 00:15:37,314 --> 00:15:40,754 Speaker 2: And then at another event in twenty nineteen, which was 356 00:15:40,754 --> 00:15:44,474 Speaker 2: a screening for The King, his movie, Yep, he spoke 357 00:15:44,514 --> 00:15:45,114 Speaker 2: about it again. 358 00:15:45,314 --> 00:15:47,914 Speaker 1: No, what was mean thing? But you started working on 359 00:15:47,874 --> 00:15:51,394 Speaker 1: a movie, started acting and presume your thing, and like I. 360 00:15:51,314 --> 00:15:53,154 Speaker 2: Started to getting says, maybe it's like opera or. 361 00:15:53,154 --> 00:15:55,794 Speaker 1: Ballet or something. It's kind of like a dying art 362 00:15:55,834 --> 00:15:56,674 Speaker 1: form or something. 363 00:15:56,874 --> 00:15:59,514 Speaker 2: So on multiple occasions he has tried to get the 364 00:15:59,554 --> 00:16:03,834 Speaker 2: point across that he was younger and obsessed with film 365 00:16:03,874 --> 00:16:06,274 Speaker 2: and really wanted to be an actor, and that for 366 00:16:06,354 --> 00:16:08,554 Speaker 2: some reason it's scared him that movies were going to 367 00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:11,594 Speaker 2: die off the way that he says opera and ballet 368 00:16:11,634 --> 00:16:14,114 Speaker 2: have died off. And at multiple points he's called it 369 00:16:14,314 --> 00:16:17,794 Speaker 2: a dying art form. But it didn't necessarily get the 370 00:16:17,794 --> 00:16:19,994 Speaker 2: backlash then that it's getting now, which I think there's 371 00:16:20,034 --> 00:16:23,034 Speaker 2: obvious reasons for. He was a lot younger, he was 372 00:16:23,194 --> 00:16:25,314 Speaker 2: on the up, He wasn't as well known, but he 373 00:16:25,354 --> 00:16:27,034 Speaker 2: was pretty well known at this point in time. In 374 00:16:27,034 --> 00:16:27,754 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. 375 00:16:27,954 --> 00:16:30,634 Speaker 1: He was. He was also like I feel, and this 376 00:16:30,754 --> 00:16:33,154 Speaker 1: is my take of this weekend and how I personally 377 00:16:33,194 --> 00:16:36,434 Speaker 1: feel about Timmy is like I had a lot of 378 00:16:36,474 --> 00:16:39,154 Speaker 1: good will for him. I loved him. I loved him 379 00:16:39,154 --> 00:16:42,794 Speaker 1: in Ladybird, I loved him in Little Women. I thought 380 00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:44,914 Speaker 1: he did a beautiful job in that loved him and 381 00:16:44,914 --> 00:16:47,754 Speaker 1: Call Me by Your Name, I feel like he gas 382 00:16:47,754 --> 00:16:50,794 Speaker 1: lipped me and lots of other girls around the world. 383 00:16:51,474 --> 00:16:56,794 Speaker 1: You two, yeah into thinking that here's this like cultured, amazing, sensitive, 384 00:16:56,914 --> 00:17:02,674 Speaker 1: intelligent guy. No he's not Timothay, He's Timothy, which is. 385 00:17:02,594 --> 00:17:04,353 Speaker 2: What I'm seeing a lot of in reaction to this 386 00:17:04,474 --> 00:17:07,074 Speaker 2: and also just in general to the entire Matthew McConaughey 387 00:17:07,194 --> 00:17:10,593 Speaker 2: Timothy interview is like this idea that he's trying to 388 00:17:10,634 --> 00:17:14,114 Speaker 2: rebrand himself away from the sensitive young guy that the 389 00:17:14,154 --> 00:17:16,634 Speaker 2: women fell in love with in Little Women, in Ladybird, 390 00:17:16,914 --> 00:17:19,674 Speaker 2: in a Greta Gwig project, in Call Me by Your Name, 391 00:17:19,674 --> 00:17:21,474 Speaker 2: which is a queer love story, like a lot of 392 00:17:21,554 --> 00:17:26,594 Speaker 2: fans felt like they were being gas lit, like you, says. 393 00:17:26,914 --> 00:17:29,273 Speaker 1: Inter thinking he's a certain kind of guy and he's not. 394 00:17:29,514 --> 00:17:31,234 Speaker 1: And then this came up as well when he started 395 00:17:31,314 --> 00:17:34,314 Speaker 1: dating Kylie Jenner. Yes, of course, people have this idea 396 00:17:34,314 --> 00:17:36,914 Speaker 1: that he should be with someone who was not a 397 00:17:36,954 --> 00:17:41,714 Speaker 1: reality TV star and the opinion, you know, and then 398 00:17:41,794 --> 00:17:44,034 Speaker 1: people thought it was a stunt and whatever. It's been 399 00:17:44,034 --> 00:17:47,194 Speaker 1: going on years now. They clearly are very very But 400 00:17:47,354 --> 00:17:50,994 Speaker 1: I do remember having this conversation with a fashion editor, 401 00:17:51,154 --> 00:17:54,394 Speaker 1: really brilliant fashion editor, very like cultured, and she said, 402 00:17:54,594 --> 00:17:57,074 Speaker 1: I just can't even imagine what they could possibly talk about, 403 00:17:57,154 --> 00:17:59,874 Speaker 1: like they would have nothing in common. And now I think, no, 404 00:17:59,914 --> 00:18:01,514 Speaker 1: I think they probably have plenty of I. 405 00:18:01,434 --> 00:18:03,434 Speaker 2: Think they have plenty in common. And I think I've 406 00:18:03,594 --> 00:18:08,034 Speaker 2: seen that years and you know, I think that that jokey, 407 00:18:08,154 --> 00:18:10,874 Speaker 2: silly personality of his was always there in the press 408 00:18:10,874 --> 00:18:13,074 Speaker 2: for those things. But if you watch, you would swear 409 00:18:13,434 --> 00:18:15,754 Speaker 2: this man no longer existed with the way people have 410 00:18:15,834 --> 00:18:17,994 Speaker 2: been editing him over the last few days to show 411 00:18:18,034 --> 00:18:21,553 Speaker 2: like really like old school throwbacks to emotional music. But 412 00:18:21,594 --> 00:18:23,513 Speaker 2: people are putting up old interviews he did where he 413 00:18:23,594 --> 00:18:26,754 Speaker 2: was quite humble and he was very like, you know, 414 00:18:27,034 --> 00:18:29,074 Speaker 2: sweet and had a lot of nice things to say 415 00:18:29,074 --> 00:18:31,714 Speaker 2: about art and just spoke so lovingly about the industry 416 00:18:31,714 --> 00:18:34,954 Speaker 2: that he was in. And people feel like that shift 417 00:18:34,994 --> 00:18:36,834 Speaker 2: into his now like sort of I want to be 418 00:18:36,834 --> 00:18:39,314 Speaker 2: one of the greats. I'm egotistical. I don't care about 419 00:18:39,314 --> 00:18:41,474 Speaker 2: being nonchalant. Why do you need to be nonchalant? That 420 00:18:41,514 --> 00:18:43,874 Speaker 2: has all come into Yeah, he dates a Jenna, he's 421 00:18:43,874 --> 00:18:46,794 Speaker 2: got a different public profile. He's got this jokey persona 422 00:18:46,834 --> 00:18:49,074 Speaker 2: publicly that was maybe a bit more muted before. 423 00:18:49,314 --> 00:18:51,594 Speaker 1: Did it bother you when he said that thing about 424 00:18:51,594 --> 00:18:53,274 Speaker 1: wanting to be one of the greats and like in 425 00:18:53,314 --> 00:18:56,074 Speaker 1: the pursuit of greatness? Like, did that prickle you or 426 00:18:57,194 --> 00:18:59,554 Speaker 1: I was fine with that? A lot of people weren't, 427 00:18:59,634 --> 00:19:01,594 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people. That really annoyed a 428 00:19:01,594 --> 00:19:03,754 Speaker 1: lot of people, and they thought that it was egotistical. 429 00:19:03,994 --> 00:19:07,234 Speaker 1: I kind of like like the idea of him saying, Hey, 430 00:19:07,274 --> 00:19:10,434 Speaker 1: I'm like I'm trying to try really and I want 431 00:19:10,514 --> 00:19:12,593 Speaker 1: to be great. Yeah, you know, I think that's actually 432 00:19:12,594 --> 00:19:16,114 Speaker 1: really nice. I didn't That didn't bother me. But like, 433 00:19:16,354 --> 00:19:18,434 Speaker 1: I don't know what's he got against Othburham Ballet. 434 00:19:18,754 --> 00:19:20,793 Speaker 2: I think that's it. It's like, they didn't bother me 435 00:19:20,834 --> 00:19:22,594 Speaker 2: that you wanted to be like someone who now was 436 00:19:22,634 --> 00:19:25,474 Speaker 2: like outwardly to try hard and was outwardly sort of 437 00:19:25,674 --> 00:19:28,474 Speaker 2: a bit egotistical. A lot of the Complete Unknown Press 438 00:19:28,514 --> 00:19:32,313 Speaker 2: still had that like classic Timothy shyness about it and 439 00:19:32,354 --> 00:19:35,154 Speaker 2: still like oh oh my, and the like I'm the 440 00:19:35,234 --> 00:19:37,554 Speaker 2: upper and I'm just trying. And then when he won 441 00:19:37,634 --> 00:19:39,594 Speaker 2: the Actor Award for that performance that was with the 442 00:19:39,634 --> 00:19:42,314 Speaker 2: one of the Great speech, and then it transitioned and 443 00:19:42,714 --> 00:19:45,514 Speaker 2: in his Marty Supreme Press, he's been very much doing 444 00:19:45,594 --> 00:19:48,114 Speaker 2: interviews and soundbites where he's like, no, I'm giving you 445 00:19:48,154 --> 00:19:50,714 Speaker 2: top tier work, I'm the best, I'm incredible, and it's 446 00:19:50,714 --> 00:19:52,434 Speaker 2: a jokey thing to do with the movie. And he 447 00:19:52,714 --> 00:19:54,714 Speaker 2: himself has said that he's like, I am embodying the 448 00:19:54,834 --> 00:19:57,914 Speaker 2: character of Marty. I am intentionally doing this to be 449 00:19:57,954 --> 00:19:59,754 Speaker 2: a bit off putting and to get like buns in 450 00:19:59,874 --> 00:20:02,914 Speaker 2: seats in the theater. But I think that this has 451 00:20:02,954 --> 00:20:06,074 Speaker 2: now extended to a place where he's not thinking through 452 00:20:06,114 --> 00:20:09,073 Speaker 2: what he's saying and it coming out quite brash, and 453 00:20:09,114 --> 00:20:11,354 Speaker 2: that is what has upset people, because you can't just 454 00:20:11,514 --> 00:20:16,073 Speaker 2: call a very important artistic art form dying. No, just 455 00:20:16,074 --> 00:20:17,674 Speaker 2: because you're trying to make a point that you know 456 00:20:17,794 --> 00:20:21,234 Speaker 2: you love movies, Those like those aren't the same thing, Timothy, 457 00:20:21,474 --> 00:20:23,154 Speaker 2: And I think what has upset a lot of people. 458 00:20:23,234 --> 00:20:26,114 Speaker 2: Is like his actual personal history, like he grew up 459 00:20:26,114 --> 00:20:29,034 Speaker 2: backstage at the New York City Ballet His grandmother, his mother, 460 00:20:29,154 --> 00:20:32,714 Speaker 2: and his sister all danced on the Marti Supreme Presso tool. 461 00:20:32,754 --> 00:20:34,994 Speaker 2: He said, I grew up dreaming big backstage at the 462 00:20:35,034 --> 00:20:37,513 Speaker 2: Choch Theater in New York. And when he was asked, 463 00:20:37,554 --> 00:20:39,954 Speaker 2: he was like, that helped me grow as an artist. 464 00:20:39,994 --> 00:20:43,394 Speaker 2: And he called himself a ven diagram of the best 465 00:20:43,434 --> 00:20:46,714 Speaker 2: cultural influences of the twentieth and twenty first century as 466 00:20:46,754 --> 00:20:49,114 Speaker 2: a result of having grown up around people in the 467 00:20:49,154 --> 00:20:51,714 Speaker 2: New York City in ballet. So he's used the. 468 00:20:51,714 --> 00:20:55,834 Speaker 1: Kind of a vile thing to say, I'm honest, I 469 00:20:55,874 --> 00:20:58,394 Speaker 1: didn't hear that I need to do a dive street. 470 00:20:59,074 --> 00:21:00,714 Speaker 2: But this was and this was before the blow up 471 00:21:00,714 --> 00:21:03,513 Speaker 2: of the matter interview. But I think he himself was like, 472 00:21:03,554 --> 00:21:06,034 Speaker 2: look at how ballets influenced me, and yeah, So he 473 00:21:06,074 --> 00:21:08,074 Speaker 2: knows his personal history and sees it as being like, 474 00:21:08,154 --> 00:21:10,154 Speaker 2: I was informed by people who love the ballet, and 475 00:21:10,154 --> 00:21:12,394 Speaker 2: that's made me a great artist. So I can flippantly 476 00:21:12,434 --> 00:21:15,114 Speaker 2: say that ballet is a dying art form because I 477 00:21:15,154 --> 00:21:18,874 Speaker 2: know firsthand from watching people struggle that maybe it's not 478 00:21:18,914 --> 00:21:21,033 Speaker 2: as popular as it once was. But that's not what 479 00:21:21,074 --> 00:21:22,634 Speaker 2: you said in that interview, and that's not what you 480 00:21:22,634 --> 00:21:25,474 Speaker 2: said in the sound bites coming across Wells gas lit es. 481 00:21:25,554 --> 00:21:28,394 Speaker 1: He sold himself originally when he was the up and 482 00:21:28,434 --> 00:21:33,234 Speaker 1: comer as this like cultured internet boyfriend. He was divine. 483 00:21:33,314 --> 00:21:36,634 Speaker 1: He had this like hilarious social media footprint. Oh it 484 00:21:36,674 --> 00:21:38,714 Speaker 1: was really charming and really funny, and I loved it 485 00:21:38,994 --> 00:21:41,594 Speaker 1: and just absolutely lapped it up. And now he's become 486 00:21:42,434 --> 00:21:43,034 Speaker 1: a film bro. 487 00:21:43,634 --> 00:21:47,154 Speaker 2: I do think so, Like his internet presence is crazy, 488 00:21:47,314 --> 00:21:50,994 Speaker 2: Like his digital footprint is classic, like gen Z. I 489 00:21:50,994 --> 00:21:53,994 Speaker 2: guess younger millennials probably on that sillennial cast like Sabrina. 490 00:21:54,074 --> 00:21:58,154 Speaker 2: Like Sabrina also has the best Connor story. Now he'd 491 00:21:58,194 --> 00:21:59,994 Speaker 2: a rivalry as well, Like we see this with people 492 00:22:00,034 --> 00:22:02,354 Speaker 2: who had that early online presence because they can't like 493 00:22:02,354 --> 00:22:04,554 Speaker 2: once they get famous, people just find it. 494 00:22:04,914 --> 00:22:07,994 Speaker 1: Timper were all warned about they taught us. 495 00:22:08,594 --> 00:22:10,474 Speaker 2: Although they say that, and I cannot find my old 496 00:22:10,474 --> 00:22:13,114 Speaker 2: beboat anyway. I tried to delete it once. I was like, 497 00:22:13,114 --> 00:22:14,273 Speaker 2: I don't even know how you get into. 498 00:22:14,154 --> 00:22:16,114 Speaker 1: You know what, Tina, You need to get more famous 499 00:22:16,234 --> 00:22:17,554 Speaker 1: then it will be found so true. 500 00:22:17,554 --> 00:22:20,354 Speaker 2: No, that scares me way too much. But something about 501 00:22:20,354 --> 00:22:22,313 Speaker 2: that is, like, yeah, he had this Internet presence, and 502 00:22:22,354 --> 00:22:24,874 Speaker 2: he was known for like his Miss Lawton rap like, 503 00:22:24,914 --> 00:22:27,474 Speaker 2: which was a rap he did for like a school assignment, 504 00:22:27,554 --> 00:22:30,754 Speaker 2: and his like dancers on stage to Soldier Boy, and 505 00:22:30,794 --> 00:22:32,634 Speaker 2: like his dances at home with his friends. So he 506 00:22:32,714 --> 00:22:35,554 Speaker 2: did always have this very like you know, how now 507 00:22:35,674 --> 00:22:37,914 Speaker 2: he's doing like a rap music video or he's doing 508 00:22:37,914 --> 00:22:40,874 Speaker 2: a basketball podcast. Those elements of his personality were always 509 00:22:40,874 --> 00:22:43,594 Speaker 2: shining through from when he was younger. But he matched 510 00:22:43,634 --> 00:22:48,874 Speaker 2: this crazy energy with an artistic, sensitive, like soulful young 511 00:22:48,914 --> 00:22:51,434 Speaker 2: actor who was just like really excited to be in 512 00:22:51,514 --> 00:22:53,634 Speaker 2: like these women led projects and all of that. So 513 00:22:53,674 --> 00:22:56,234 Speaker 2: it worked together quite well when you pair those parts 514 00:22:56,234 --> 00:22:58,994 Speaker 2: of his personality that are a bit more like fun 515 00:22:59,034 --> 00:23:03,274 Speaker 2: and frat browie and like still inside of the Nicks, yes, yeah, 516 00:23:03,314 --> 00:23:05,714 Speaker 2: and like you know, just joking about shit with the boys. 517 00:23:05,794 --> 00:23:08,513 Speaker 2: Like part of his Matthew interview was love sending Safti's 518 00:23:08,514 --> 00:23:11,234 Speaker 2: memes and it's like okay, and Laura and I was saying, 519 00:23:11,274 --> 00:23:12,914 Speaker 2: like you could send greata go Wiger meme too, I'm 520 00:23:12,914 --> 00:23:15,234 Speaker 2: sure she'd love it. She probably has better memes. But 521 00:23:15,994 --> 00:23:18,674 Speaker 2: you compare that part of his personality with now like 522 00:23:18,834 --> 00:23:23,434 Speaker 2: dissing predominantly females, like seen as art forms that women enjoy. 523 00:23:23,714 --> 00:23:25,553 Speaker 2: Of course, you're going to alienate a big part of 524 00:23:25,554 --> 00:23:28,513 Speaker 2: your fan base. People aren't gonna like it. Yes, and like, 525 00:23:29,154 --> 00:23:31,834 Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe maybe I'm gonna go see an opera. Now, 526 00:23:31,834 --> 00:23:33,394 Speaker 2: off the back of this, here's what I was gonna say. 527 00:23:33,434 --> 00:23:35,274 Speaker 1: I mean, look, the one thing that I think that's 528 00:23:35,274 --> 00:23:39,714 Speaker 1: come out really really well from this is that everyone's 529 00:23:39,794 --> 00:23:44,514 Speaker 1: timelines are filled with incredible, incredible posts from the ballets 530 00:23:44,554 --> 00:23:47,194 Speaker 1: and the operas around the world. Yeah, and Tina, if 531 00:23:47,194 --> 00:23:48,594 Speaker 1: you want to go to the opera with me, you 532 00:23:48,634 --> 00:23:50,234 Speaker 1: can come anytime. 533 00:23:50,394 --> 00:23:51,634 Speaker 2: I take all me up. 534 00:23:51,714 --> 00:23:53,594 Speaker 1: Yes, I'd love to the opera with you or the 535 00:23:53,634 --> 00:23:55,833 Speaker 1: ballet or both. We could do a double feature. 536 00:23:59,434 --> 00:24:01,914 Speaker 2: So something that happened on Friday which was very thrilling 537 00:24:02,034 --> 00:24:04,874 Speaker 2: for me and I guess you but you'd already heard 538 00:24:04,874 --> 00:24:07,874 Speaker 2: it is Harry styles fourth studio album as a solo 539 00:24:07,994 --> 00:24:12,074 Speaker 2: artists release, which is Kiss All the Time Disco Occasionally, 540 00:24:12,554 --> 00:24:16,314 Speaker 2: which is a nightmare for Instagram captions and hashtags, et cetera. 541 00:24:16,954 --> 00:24:19,634 Speaker 1: A great sight title as well. I was like, once 542 00:24:19,634 --> 00:24:21,954 Speaker 1: you've written that out, you've taken up all your spaih 543 00:24:22,034 --> 00:24:24,594 Speaker 1: how is one going to search optimize a piece about 544 00:24:24,594 --> 00:24:26,314 Speaker 1: that album with that name. I didn't think of that, 545 00:24:26,394 --> 00:24:26,994 Speaker 1: did you, Harry. 546 00:24:27,074 --> 00:24:29,954 Speaker 2: No, he didn't think of me, who always names like 547 00:24:30,034 --> 00:24:31,474 Speaker 2: this always mess me up. 548 00:24:31,594 --> 00:24:34,273 Speaker 1: And this is why the fans have affectionately nicknamed it 549 00:24:34,354 --> 00:24:38,033 Speaker 1: kiss Goo. I love that. I know. I really like 550 00:24:38,114 --> 00:24:38,474 Speaker 1: it too. 551 00:24:38,674 --> 00:24:40,513 Speaker 2: That's a very clever way in It was like when 552 00:24:40,554 --> 00:24:43,073 Speaker 2: Taylor released The Tortured Poets Department, and I said multiple 553 00:24:43,074 --> 00:24:45,154 Speaker 2: times on this podcast and another podcast that we have 554 00:24:45,274 --> 00:24:49,593 Speaker 2: here at Mamma Mea the Tortured Poets Department movie something like. 555 00:24:49,674 --> 00:24:52,714 Speaker 2: I just kept calling it the literal movie starring Robin Williams, 556 00:24:52,874 --> 00:24:55,114 Speaker 2: and like everyone was like, no, that's not what it's called. 557 00:24:55,154 --> 00:24:56,513 Speaker 2: And I was like, well, I'm sorry, I don't know. 558 00:24:56,714 --> 00:24:59,274 Speaker 2: I don't know. But kissko kiss all the time. Disco 559 00:24:59,354 --> 00:25:01,154 Speaker 2: occasionally did come out. 560 00:25:01,194 --> 00:25:03,394 Speaker 1: Yes a midnight release, so we were one of the 561 00:25:03,394 --> 00:25:05,314 Speaker 1: first countries in the world to get it, which always 562 00:25:05,314 --> 00:25:08,954 Speaker 1: happens with Harry's album. New Zealand got the jump on us, 563 00:25:09,114 --> 00:25:11,754 Speaker 1: as they tend to do. Yeah, it's interesting. I would 564 00:25:11,794 --> 00:25:13,834 Speaker 1: have thought by now that Harry would do the same 565 00:25:13,954 --> 00:25:15,994 Speaker 1: sort of global drop that Taylor does. I don't know 566 00:25:15,994 --> 00:25:19,874 Speaker 1: why that doesn't happen, but that's fine. It's lucky for 567 00:25:20,034 --> 00:25:22,154 Speaker 1: us down here. We don't normally get things first. 568 00:25:22,274 --> 00:25:24,353 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're very special in that sense. It's just us 569 00:25:24,354 --> 00:25:27,434 Speaker 2: in the Keiway's head of the curve. So we got 570 00:25:27,434 --> 00:25:29,194 Speaker 2: it first. But also you got to listen to it. 571 00:25:29,234 --> 00:25:31,874 Speaker 2: I got it first first, first, so I did. I 572 00:25:31,914 --> 00:25:34,154 Speaker 2: got to listen to her in advance, which I have 573 00:25:34,314 --> 00:25:38,074 Speaker 2: done for all four of Harry's albums. Now in very 574 00:25:38,074 --> 00:25:40,394 Speaker 2: interesting conditions, and I think a lot of people wonder 575 00:25:40,434 --> 00:25:44,074 Speaker 2: because often, like and there's comments that I get from 576 00:25:44,474 --> 00:25:47,074 Speaker 2: fans out there that when I write a review and 577 00:25:47,154 --> 00:25:49,554 Speaker 2: it comes out one minute after the album comes out, 578 00:25:49,674 --> 00:25:53,434 Speaker 2: they're like, how how so we get some I've got 579 00:25:53,434 --> 00:25:54,834 Speaker 2: pictures in my mind of what I think. 580 00:25:54,714 --> 00:25:56,394 Speaker 1: It would look like. Okay, what do you think it 581 00:25:56,434 --> 00:25:56,833 Speaker 1: looks like? 582 00:25:56,914 --> 00:25:59,154 Speaker 2: Do you know any Incredibles? Have you ever seen a 583 00:25:59,194 --> 00:25:59,954 Speaker 2: Disney classic? 584 00:26:00,114 --> 00:26:04,794 Speaker 1: Incredible? What Tina? You know, I'm such a Disney fan, 585 00:26:04,994 --> 00:26:08,154 Speaker 1: but I love princess movies. Oh my god, incredible. 586 00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:11,234 Speaker 2: Okay, So in that they're like superheroes and I think 587 00:26:11,234 --> 00:26:13,994 Speaker 2: this happens in many spy movies too. They get sent 588 00:26:14,074 --> 00:26:17,594 Speaker 2: a DVD and then once you've listened, it explodes. So 589 00:26:17,754 --> 00:26:20,073 Speaker 2: that's what I picture happening. When someone listens to an 590 00:26:20,114 --> 00:26:22,594 Speaker 2: album like a Harry Styles or like a Beyonce, Like 591 00:26:22,594 --> 00:26:24,674 Speaker 2: if you got an early listening for that level of star, 592 00:26:25,074 --> 00:26:27,154 Speaker 2: what I assume happens is you get sent a self 593 00:26:27,194 --> 00:26:28,994 Speaker 2: destructing no DVD. 594 00:26:30,394 --> 00:26:33,714 Speaker 1: No, So it depends. So when I get sent Taylor's 595 00:26:33,754 --> 00:26:37,553 Speaker 1: in advance, I get sent like a link to the album. 596 00:26:37,634 --> 00:26:40,674 Speaker 1: It's encrypted, and it's got like you know, behind the 597 00:26:41,354 --> 00:26:46,593 Speaker 1: behind the computer walls, my name and stamp all over it, 598 00:26:46,674 --> 00:26:49,314 Speaker 1: so that if I shared it anywhere, I love, Taylor 599 00:26:49,354 --> 00:26:52,394 Speaker 1: would know and I would cease to exist. 600 00:26:53,154 --> 00:26:55,234 Speaker 2: But I can listen behind the computer walls. It was 601 00:26:55,234 --> 00:26:56,874 Speaker 2: a really great way to describe that. I'd love if 602 00:26:56,914 --> 00:26:59,634 Speaker 2: any spillers are like working in it and they're like, okay, 603 00:26:59,714 --> 00:27:00,874 Speaker 2: I haven't heard that one before. 604 00:27:00,954 --> 00:27:05,234 Speaker 1: Yeah, love that love that clearly clearly not my forte takey, 605 00:27:05,354 --> 00:27:08,354 Speaker 1: But I can listen to that as many times as 606 00:27:08,394 --> 00:27:11,554 Speaker 1: I want. It does not explode. It is a different 607 00:27:11,954 --> 00:27:16,434 Speaker 1: story with Harry you get taken in to Sony HQ 608 00:27:17,794 --> 00:27:20,553 Speaker 1: strips it. No, you don't really get strip seut but 609 00:27:21,274 --> 00:27:24,354 Speaker 1: you have any kind of thing taken off you. 610 00:27:24,634 --> 00:27:26,354 Speaker 2: Yeah, do they do you have to go through like security? 611 00:27:26,394 --> 00:27:27,874 Speaker 2: Do they pat you down to check if you're wearing. 612 00:27:27,874 --> 00:27:29,954 Speaker 1: They don't pat you down. It's not that full on. 613 00:27:30,434 --> 00:27:33,474 Speaker 1: But I hand it over my handbag at reception and 614 00:27:33,594 --> 00:27:37,194 Speaker 1: had to go in. It's a bit like I liken 615 00:27:37,274 --> 00:27:40,994 Speaker 1: it to HSC exam conditions, so you can't go in 616 00:27:41,034 --> 00:27:45,033 Speaker 1: with anything. Then we entered the boardroom at Sony in 617 00:27:45,074 --> 00:27:48,954 Speaker 1: a new office, very very swishy, very swank, but you 618 00:27:48,954 --> 00:27:52,033 Speaker 1: know boardrooms are also like boardrooms and they can be 619 00:27:52,074 --> 00:27:54,834 Speaker 1: quite intense places. Get in there. There's a notebook and 620 00:27:54,874 --> 00:27:55,274 Speaker 1: a pen. 621 00:27:55,554 --> 00:27:57,793 Speaker 2: Also they supply you can't even bring in your own. 622 00:27:57,754 --> 00:28:00,394 Speaker 1: No, you can't bring your own notebook and pen and 623 00:28:00,434 --> 00:28:03,834 Speaker 1: a bottle of water see exam conditions. And then the 624 00:28:03,914 --> 00:28:10,313 Speaker 1: album was played through once and that was no lyrics displayed, nothing, 625 00:28:10,874 --> 00:28:13,394 Speaker 1: So you have one listen and then you have to 626 00:28:14,114 --> 00:28:16,634 Speaker 1: go away and write a re You love Harry, but 627 00:28:16,714 --> 00:28:18,553 Speaker 1: he can be a little bit of a mumbler on 628 00:28:18,594 --> 00:28:20,833 Speaker 1: some of the songs as well, so you're like I 629 00:28:20,914 --> 00:28:22,553 Speaker 1: was trying to write down lyrics. I could have been 630 00:28:22,554 --> 00:28:24,954 Speaker 1: getting stuff wrong. There were some. I remember there was 631 00:28:25,074 --> 00:28:27,394 Speaker 1: one track where I just wrote no thoughts, just fine 632 00:28:29,514 --> 00:28:31,834 Speaker 1: because I couldn't understand many of the words. He said. 633 00:28:31,994 --> 00:28:34,114 Speaker 2: Do they like pause before each one and say this 634 00:28:34,194 --> 00:28:36,914 Speaker 2: is not called blah blah. No, there's the track listing 635 00:28:37,394 --> 00:28:39,034 Speaker 2: on the screen in front of you. Yeah. 636 00:28:39,154 --> 00:28:41,834 Speaker 1: In past Harry listens that I've been to, they have 637 00:28:41,954 --> 00:28:44,114 Speaker 1: displayed the lyrics. Yeah, okay, I think this was the 638 00:28:44,114 --> 00:28:46,874 Speaker 1: first time that the lyrics haven't been displayed, and I 639 00:28:46,914 --> 00:28:48,954 Speaker 1: actually think this is the time I would have wanted them. 640 00:28:48,994 --> 00:28:54,474 Speaker 2: The most follow up question, Yes, what was your process? 641 00:28:54,514 --> 00:28:56,834 Speaker 2: Like are you writing down like one and then a 642 00:28:56,834 --> 00:28:58,714 Speaker 2: bunch of dot points or are you just like scribbling 643 00:28:58,754 --> 00:28:59,754 Speaker 2: every single thought that you have? 644 00:28:59,954 --> 00:29:03,954 Speaker 1: What's your approach? So I did a page per song, Okay, 645 00:29:04,674 --> 00:29:06,474 Speaker 1: title of the song at the top of the page, ye, 646 00:29:06,674 --> 00:29:10,834 Speaker 1: and then just brain dumping anything that came to mind. Yeah, 647 00:29:10,874 --> 00:29:14,714 Speaker 1: there was like some lyrics. Sometimes it was like musical 648 00:29:15,394 --> 00:29:17,994 Speaker 1: you know, production thoughts. Yeah. Sometimes it was like big 649 00:29:18,034 --> 00:29:19,834 Speaker 1: picture stuff that I was like, Okay, this is like 650 00:29:19,914 --> 00:29:22,634 Speaker 1: thematic and this one reminds me of that song on 651 00:29:22,634 --> 00:29:25,354 Speaker 1: Harry's House or whatever, and all this lyric ties together 652 00:29:25,394 --> 00:29:28,194 Speaker 1: with that, so it's a bit of a mess. I 653 00:29:28,234 --> 00:29:30,514 Speaker 1: do not want anyone to ever see that notebook. 654 00:29:30,674 --> 00:29:33,834 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, can we put the notebook screenshots 655 00:29:33,834 --> 00:29:34,354 Speaker 2: on the spill? 656 00:29:34,434 --> 00:29:36,834 Speaker 1: You know what you can? You can put the no thoughts, 657 00:29:36,914 --> 00:29:39,034 Speaker 1: just vibes page on and let's see what the spill 658 00:29:39,154 --> 00:29:41,794 Speaker 1: is think. And when they first listened to that same track, 659 00:29:41,954 --> 00:29:43,194 Speaker 1: they had no thoughts and just. 660 00:29:43,194 --> 00:29:46,754 Speaker 2: Vibes to Okay, So what was your initial reaction then? 661 00:29:46,754 --> 00:29:48,074 Speaker 2: If you just got like cause you got to listen 662 00:29:48,114 --> 00:29:49,674 Speaker 2: to it in one go, but it's also the first 663 00:29:49,714 --> 00:29:50,234 Speaker 2: time you've. 664 00:29:50,074 --> 00:29:53,314 Speaker 1: Heard yeah, So my first thought was, Okay, I love 665 00:29:53,354 --> 00:29:55,194 Speaker 1: that he's doing something different. I love that he does 666 00:29:55,234 --> 00:29:58,234 Speaker 1: something different each time. And this was like my overarching 667 00:29:58,314 --> 00:30:00,314 Speaker 1: when I wrote a review for the which we'll link 668 00:30:00,354 --> 00:30:03,514 Speaker 1: in the show notes, is that with Harry, he never 669 00:30:03,554 --> 00:30:05,994 Speaker 1: repeats himself and you're always going to get something different. 670 00:30:05,994 --> 00:30:09,234 Speaker 1: He always likes to change production, and I think that 671 00:30:09,394 --> 00:30:12,354 Speaker 1: is from years and years of putting out the same 672 00:30:12,434 --> 00:30:15,034 Speaker 1: sort of records with one direction. Yeah, but he wants 673 00:30:15,114 --> 00:30:17,834 Speaker 1: to explore different paths. And it's also how you keep 674 00:30:17,874 --> 00:30:20,154 Speaker 1: it fresh and how you keep people interested. So I 675 00:30:20,194 --> 00:30:22,474 Speaker 1: did really love that. I thought that Aperture was a 676 00:30:22,514 --> 00:30:25,114 Speaker 1: really good first song to release because I think it 677 00:30:25,154 --> 00:30:27,274 Speaker 1: really set up the vibe of the album and showed 678 00:30:27,314 --> 00:30:29,474 Speaker 1: straight up this was not going to be anything like 679 00:30:29,474 --> 00:30:32,114 Speaker 1: what he'd done before. Yeah, do you like that song? Yes? 680 00:30:32,154 --> 00:30:35,634 Speaker 1: I do. I really like it. Do you like that? Okay? 681 00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:38,034 Speaker 2: But then I heard other songs on the album and 682 00:30:38,074 --> 00:30:40,114 Speaker 2: I thought they were better. And also I'm not like 683 00:30:40,354 --> 00:30:42,674 Speaker 2: the Harry styles girl right, like a lot of people 684 00:30:42,714 --> 00:30:44,714 Speaker 2: are a lot of people love him dearly. I always 685 00:30:44,754 --> 00:30:46,834 Speaker 2: like a few from each album. I do think the 686 00:30:46,914 --> 00:30:50,034 Speaker 2: last album was my favorite. I was a massive direction 687 00:30:50,154 --> 00:30:52,914 Speaker 2: And who was your favorite? Harry was one of my favorites. 688 00:30:53,354 --> 00:30:56,314 Speaker 2: I loved niall as like I knew it. I knew 689 00:30:56,314 --> 00:30:58,034 Speaker 2: and I loved a little Shenanigan like. I didn't think 690 00:30:58,074 --> 00:31:00,034 Speaker 2: he was cute. I just thought, oh that little guy, 691 00:31:00,234 --> 00:31:02,194 Speaker 2: he's so funny. Who was your favorite Harry? 692 00:31:02,274 --> 00:31:02,594 Speaker 1: Harry? 693 00:31:02,674 --> 00:31:07,674 Speaker 2: Yeah, always Harry. Then he had the long after Yeah, 694 00:31:07,714 --> 00:31:09,754 Speaker 2: but voice is still great. Do love his songs? 695 00:31:09,794 --> 00:31:10,074 Speaker 1: Okay? 696 00:31:10,154 --> 00:31:11,874 Speaker 2: So what was your favorite song? 697 00:31:11,914 --> 00:31:15,154 Speaker 1: Then? My favorite song on the album is pop? Which 698 00:31:15,154 --> 00:31:15,954 Speaker 1: one's pop? See? 699 00:31:15,954 --> 00:31:18,394 Speaker 2: This is the thing for me. I have listened they 700 00:31:18,394 --> 00:31:20,234 Speaker 2: did all melt together a little bit, but I know 701 00:31:20,434 --> 00:31:22,514 Speaker 2: on another listen or another few listens, I'll have my 702 00:31:22,554 --> 00:31:23,394 Speaker 2: single out favorites. 703 00:31:23,594 --> 00:31:25,954 Speaker 1: I think that that is a fair analysis, and that's 704 00:31:25,994 --> 00:31:28,714 Speaker 1: what I've heard, not just from casual fans, also from reviewers. 705 00:31:28,714 --> 00:31:31,434 Speaker 1: So that's what made this conditions of listening to it 706 00:31:31,514 --> 00:31:35,154 Speaker 1: just once hard, but also from like hardcore fans. They 707 00:31:35,154 --> 00:31:36,554 Speaker 1: were like, no, no, no, you've got to give it a 708 00:31:36,594 --> 00:31:38,314 Speaker 1: few listens. It is an album that you have to 709 00:31:38,314 --> 00:31:40,034 Speaker 1: give a few listens too. Yeah. 710 00:31:40,074 --> 00:31:41,914 Speaker 2: And is that because his sound is a bit different 711 00:31:41,954 --> 00:31:44,274 Speaker 2: this time around or you just think it's more like cohesive, 712 00:31:44,394 --> 00:31:45,434 Speaker 2: so so the same. 713 00:31:45,714 --> 00:31:48,794 Speaker 1: Yes, And I think it's less storytelling lyrics on this 714 00:31:48,954 --> 00:31:51,954 Speaker 1: album to his previous albums. That's a big point of difference. 715 00:31:51,994 --> 00:31:54,634 Speaker 2: I would say, Yeah, why do you think he likes 716 00:31:54,674 --> 00:31:55,914 Speaker 2: changing up his sound so much? 717 00:31:56,114 --> 00:31:59,194 Speaker 1: I think because a lot of people copy him. And 718 00:31:59,554 --> 00:32:01,834 Speaker 1: I think the same goes for his fashion. I think 719 00:32:01,874 --> 00:32:06,234 Speaker 1: he never wants to just be in the puddle of 720 00:32:06,754 --> 00:32:10,514 Speaker 1: male artists. Yes that exists. Yeah, I think the girls 721 00:32:10,554 --> 00:32:13,794 Speaker 1: have been killing it for so long and there isn't 722 00:32:14,834 --> 00:32:18,594 Speaker 1: really a contender as a male pop artist that is 723 00:32:18,634 --> 00:32:20,234 Speaker 1: achieving what the girls are achieving. 724 00:32:20,394 --> 00:32:21,874 Speaker 2: Yeah, except Harry. 725 00:32:21,954 --> 00:32:24,594 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think he's the only one that keeps 726 00:32:24,594 --> 00:32:27,114 Speaker 1: pushing it. And I think because he keeps pushing it, 727 00:32:27,234 --> 00:32:27,834 Speaker 1: that's why. 728 00:32:28,154 --> 00:32:28,914 Speaker 2: Yeah. 729 00:32:29,034 --> 00:32:31,794 Speaker 1: I also think the thing with Harry and you know, 730 00:32:31,834 --> 00:32:34,074 Speaker 1: people would have if they woke up early today would 731 00:32:34,074 --> 00:32:37,834 Speaker 1: have seen the Netflix special of tour. I haven't seen 732 00:32:37,834 --> 00:32:39,754 Speaker 1: it yet, but like, as soon as we wrap up here, 733 00:32:39,794 --> 00:32:42,114 Speaker 1: I'm going to go watch it. The great thing about 734 00:32:42,154 --> 00:32:45,074 Speaker 1: what Harry does is everything he makes. He does such 735 00:32:45,074 --> 00:32:47,554 Speaker 1: a great job performing live and you can see he 736 00:32:47,674 --> 00:32:50,554 Speaker 1: really really really loves it, and I feel like this 737 00:32:50,634 --> 00:32:52,514 Speaker 1: is an album that is going to be such a 738 00:32:52,554 --> 00:32:56,234 Speaker 1: party and such a fun vibe live. Yeah. 739 00:32:56,314 --> 00:32:59,354 Speaker 2: I've seen some early clips from the Netflix special and 740 00:32:59,754 --> 00:33:02,114 Speaker 2: first of all, loving the outfit he's just seen like 741 00:33:02,114 --> 00:33:04,074 Speaker 2: a sweater and pants and a shirt, which is very 742 00:33:04,154 --> 00:33:07,354 Speaker 2: much a departure from obviously his last tour. But he 743 00:33:07,474 --> 00:33:09,354 Speaker 2: just seems to be having the time of his life 744 00:33:09,354 --> 00:33:11,554 Speaker 2: on stage, dancing, having so much fun. 745 00:33:11,674 --> 00:33:13,634 Speaker 1: He's very much like Taylor in that respect. You can 746 00:33:13,674 --> 00:33:15,114 Speaker 1: see that when they're on tour, and I know the 747 00:33:15,154 --> 00:33:17,074 Speaker 1: tours are really really taxing and a lot of the 748 00:33:17,154 --> 00:33:19,754 Speaker 1: artists like they enjoy going out on tour and then 749 00:33:19,754 --> 00:33:21,474 Speaker 1: about halfway through the Tool you can see they're like, 750 00:33:21,514 --> 00:33:25,394 Speaker 1: oh god, this is so so hard. They are two 751 00:33:25,434 --> 00:33:26,874 Speaker 1: of the only artists that I ever see that I 752 00:33:26,874 --> 00:33:29,754 Speaker 1: think they are loving it from day one and the 753 00:33:29,834 --> 00:33:30,674 Speaker 1: last day of tour. 754 00:33:31,114 --> 00:33:33,434 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think because for the Netflix special, right 755 00:33:33,474 --> 00:33:34,634 Speaker 2: they took people's phones away. 756 00:33:34,874 --> 00:33:37,954 Speaker 1: They did. They took people's phones away. There was like, oh, 757 00:33:38,034 --> 00:33:39,794 Speaker 1: does Harry just want everyone living in the moment, which 758 00:33:39,834 --> 00:33:41,914 Speaker 1: is so fun. I wondered if it was more that 759 00:33:41,994 --> 00:33:44,794 Speaker 1: Netflix didn't want everyone seeing the entire show on social 760 00:33:44,834 --> 00:33:48,714 Speaker 1: media before it waves, which again I think is great. 761 00:33:49,114 --> 00:33:51,274 Speaker 1: And then they gave out digital cameras, which is a 762 00:33:51,314 --> 00:33:51,834 Speaker 1: bit of fun. 763 00:33:51,994 --> 00:33:53,554 Speaker 2: That is a bit fun. I feel like he's always 764 00:33:53,554 --> 00:33:55,194 Speaker 2: doing something a little different, and it was like a 765 00:33:55,234 --> 00:33:57,034 Speaker 2: glimpse into what the Tool will be, right because yeah, 766 00:33:57,034 --> 00:34:00,394 Speaker 2: he's coming, he's coming to Sydney for what shows. 767 00:34:02,234 --> 00:34:05,034 Speaker 1: Shows in Sydney, but he's doing the Big Arena and 768 00:34:05,154 --> 00:34:06,594 Speaker 1: he's also doing mel I was like. 769 00:34:06,554 --> 00:34:08,794 Speaker 2: What see, you can tell I'm not a Harry I am, 770 00:34:08,834 --> 00:34:10,234 Speaker 2: But like I was like, I'm going to leave that 771 00:34:10,274 --> 00:34:10,954 Speaker 2: to the real fans. 772 00:34:11,234 --> 00:34:13,953 Speaker 1: He's really good to Australia. He knows that Yeah, there's 773 00:34:13,994 --> 00:34:16,074 Speaker 1: a big audience down here that love him because the. 774 00:34:15,994 --> 00:34:17,953 Speaker 2: World tour is pretty much like America and a few 775 00:34:17,954 --> 00:34:18,514 Speaker 2: other places. 776 00:34:18,594 --> 00:34:21,553 Speaker 1: Right, it's not even America, it's New York. He's doing 777 00:34:21,594 --> 00:34:24,073 Speaker 1: thirty shows at Madison Square Garden in New York. 778 00:34:24,274 --> 00:34:27,234 Speaker 2: That's going to break his own record, surely, yes. 779 00:34:27,154 --> 00:34:30,513 Speaker 1: Yes, And I do it also about this well yes, 780 00:34:30,594 --> 00:34:33,274 Speaker 1: but I also think now no one can beat Taylor's 781 00:34:33,274 --> 00:34:36,674 Speaker 1: records for touring, right, and so no one wants to 782 00:34:36,714 --> 00:34:37,714 Speaker 1: have the headlines be. 783 00:34:38,554 --> 00:34:40,594 Speaker 2: Like Curry Styles tries to beat tails or. 784 00:34:40,754 --> 00:34:44,714 Speaker 1: Like you know, second most tour. You know, like no 785 00:34:44,754 --> 00:34:46,393 Speaker 1: one wants that. Everyone wants to be able to go 786 00:34:46,394 --> 00:34:49,114 Speaker 1: out and say like best, best, best, number one, number one, 787 00:34:49,314 --> 00:34:52,194 Speaker 1: you know, so instead of trying to compete with the 788 00:34:52,234 --> 00:34:54,593 Speaker 1: tour that she did around the US for Eras, which 789 00:34:54,754 --> 00:34:58,074 Speaker 1: did you know two laps, his big headline can be 790 00:34:58,594 --> 00:35:00,154 Speaker 1: Smashes Madison Square Garden. 791 00:35:00,474 --> 00:35:03,034 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I also think if this album is moving 792 00:35:03,394 --> 00:35:06,114 Speaker 2: towards yeah, like his disco vibe and the way that 793 00:35:06,154 --> 00:35:09,154 Speaker 2: it looks, the kind of tour that's been filmed for Netflix, 794 00:35:09,394 --> 00:35:11,594 Speaker 2: he kind of seems like it will thrive in a 795 00:35:11,634 --> 00:35:14,433 Speaker 2: smaller space, which Madison Square Garden is and as much 796 00:35:14,434 --> 00:35:16,114 Speaker 2: as he's gonna come to Sydney and do the big 797 00:35:16,154 --> 00:35:18,954 Speaker 2: stadium and do a few big stadiums, this seems like 798 00:35:18,954 --> 00:35:21,354 Speaker 2: a type of performance that's better suited to that kind 799 00:35:21,354 --> 00:35:21,794 Speaker 2: of concept. 800 00:35:22,394 --> 00:35:24,594 Speaker 1: Well, they're adapting it as well, which is great. So 801 00:35:24,794 --> 00:35:27,674 Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden's done in the round and then when 802 00:35:27,674 --> 00:35:31,754 Speaker 1: it's here, it's on the stage front facing huge apron 803 00:35:32,274 --> 00:35:34,834 Speaker 1: coming out. He had an apron last time as well, 804 00:35:34,914 --> 00:35:38,474 Speaker 1: or a catwalk walkway that was like a decent size. 805 00:35:38,754 --> 00:35:41,274 Speaker 1: But this one, if it's going to be how it 806 00:35:41,314 --> 00:35:43,114 Speaker 1: looks on the little maps, and we won't really know 807 00:35:43,194 --> 00:35:45,194 Speaker 1: till the stages built and we see it, it looks 808 00:35:45,274 --> 00:35:47,194 Speaker 1: like it's much bigger, which I think a lot of 809 00:35:47,234 --> 00:35:49,994 Speaker 1: people have learnt from the year's tour that it's important 810 00:35:49,994 --> 00:35:52,194 Speaker 1: to have that. They felt like that was lacking from 811 00:35:52,274 --> 00:35:55,314 Speaker 1: Lady Gargar's concert. It was just contained and too small 812 00:35:55,674 --> 00:35:57,393 Speaker 1: to be out in the crowds with his little dance 813 00:35:57,434 --> 00:36:00,074 Speaker 1: moods and his ballet flats. Indeed, I'm loving his transition 814 00:36:00,074 --> 00:36:00,994 Speaker 1: to ballet flats. 815 00:36:00,714 --> 00:36:03,114 Speaker 2: By the way, Oh me too, me too. I think 816 00:36:03,154 --> 00:36:05,194 Speaker 2: it's part of that fashion overhaul, right, Yeah, the. 817 00:36:05,114 --> 00:36:09,994 Speaker 1: Fashion overhaul again, like everyone copycats Harry's fashion. I also 818 00:36:10,034 --> 00:36:11,913 Speaker 1: think that the only person that can dress like Harry 819 00:36:11,914 --> 00:36:14,514 Speaker 1: Styles is Harry Styles. Everyone else looks a bit else. 820 00:36:14,514 --> 00:36:17,074 Speaker 2: It looks like they're dressing up for like a costume party. 821 00:36:17,114 --> 00:36:19,553 Speaker 1: You can only see when Harry's been on the mood 822 00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:26,074 Speaker 1: board of the stylist or the towns. Yeah, I know, sorry, Benson. 823 00:36:26,194 --> 00:36:27,834 Speaker 1: You knew this day was going to come. You knew 824 00:36:27,874 --> 00:36:28,873 Speaker 1: Harry was coming back. 825 00:36:29,034 --> 00:36:31,354 Speaker 2: Yes, but his new look is like I'm wearing a 826 00:36:31,354 --> 00:36:34,433 Speaker 2: ballet flat with jeans and either a cropped blazer or 827 00:36:34,634 --> 00:36:36,754 Speaker 2: a like Kmart sweater. That's the look. 828 00:36:36,994 --> 00:36:38,953 Speaker 1: But it's cool. It's cool and it works on him. 829 00:36:38,994 --> 00:36:43,033 Speaker 1: And he's gorgeous and very tall and very very fit. Yes, 830 00:36:43,074 --> 00:36:45,473 Speaker 1: which is interesting because he's now a marathon runner as well. 831 00:36:45,594 --> 00:36:47,513 Speaker 1: I know, and that is something I wanted to talk 832 00:36:47,554 --> 00:36:50,554 Speaker 1: to you. Yes, please not the running. I couldn't care less, 833 00:36:50,874 --> 00:36:55,594 Speaker 1: but I do love that for this record cycle, instead 834 00:36:55,594 --> 00:36:58,874 Speaker 1: of doing like a Vanity Fair cover or Rolling Stone, 835 00:36:58,874 --> 00:37:01,034 Speaker 1: who I'm sure thought that they were shoeing to have 836 00:37:01,154 --> 00:37:03,714 Speaker 1: the first big sit down with Harry and photo shoot 837 00:37:04,194 --> 00:37:08,354 Speaker 1: for this record cycle, instead he did Runners World. Are 838 00:37:08,394 --> 00:37:11,393 Speaker 1: you familiar? With Runners World, Tina, you have a magazine background. 839 00:37:11,594 --> 00:37:15,034 Speaker 2: I've ever read Runners World or Cared Too until last. 840 00:37:14,834 --> 00:37:17,433 Speaker 1: Week, until last week when Harry appeared on it. And 841 00:37:17,474 --> 00:37:20,794 Speaker 1: for Harry's House. Do you remember what magazine he did 842 00:37:20,834 --> 00:37:22,274 Speaker 1: his big relaunch back on. 843 00:37:22,474 --> 00:37:25,034 Speaker 2: I only remember because you wrote it in your review 844 00:37:25,194 --> 00:37:27,354 Speaker 2: and I remember loving it at the time. It was 845 00:37:27,394 --> 00:37:28,514 Speaker 2: Better Homes and Gardens. 846 00:37:28,674 --> 00:37:31,634 Speaker 1: I just love the thought of like the new you know, 847 00:37:31,634 --> 00:37:34,154 Speaker 1: the sitting there in an editorial meeting in Better Homes 848 00:37:34,154 --> 00:37:40,513 Speaker 1: and Gardens magazine and the editor saying, so we've got 849 00:37:40,514 --> 00:37:45,114 Speaker 1: a call, because I know that there's no way they 850 00:37:45,154 --> 00:37:46,513 Speaker 1: would have approached Harry's team. 851 00:37:46,634 --> 00:37:50,634 Speaker 2: So that's that's come that coming from them, Yeah. 852 00:37:50,274 --> 00:37:52,714 Speaker 1: To say we'd like to be on the cover. They 853 00:37:52,754 --> 00:37:54,514 Speaker 1: must have felt like that they were being set up, 854 00:37:54,514 --> 00:37:55,314 Speaker 1: like it was a joke. 855 00:37:55,474 --> 00:37:57,473 Speaker 2: You wouldn't think it was real till you got there. 856 00:37:57,514 --> 00:38:00,073 Speaker 2: And Harry Styles is in a garden or a home 857 00:38:00,154 --> 00:38:01,874 Speaker 2: for Better Homes and Gardens exactly. 858 00:38:02,474 --> 00:38:04,873 Speaker 1: Yeah. And then the same for Runners World. Imagine like 859 00:38:05,314 --> 00:38:07,034 Speaker 1: you know you always. 860 00:38:06,874 --> 00:38:09,594 Speaker 2: They approached him though, because he is always running. 861 00:38:09,794 --> 00:38:12,554 Speaker 1: Oh look maybe like total Pine in the sky. And 862 00:38:12,634 --> 00:38:15,194 Speaker 1: I love that because my theory because like That has 863 00:38:15,234 --> 00:38:18,674 Speaker 1: always been my job's chasing down talent in the past 864 00:38:18,674 --> 00:38:20,794 Speaker 1: for magazine, very hard job. Now I do it for 865 00:38:20,834 --> 00:38:23,554 Speaker 1: no filter, and my motto is let them say no, 866 00:38:23,754 --> 00:38:26,513 Speaker 1: because if you say, like, oh, you know, like yes, 867 00:38:26,554 --> 00:38:28,594 Speaker 1: I would love to have Harry Styles on no filter. 868 00:38:28,674 --> 00:38:30,154 Speaker 1: Of course I would love to have Harry Styles on 869 00:38:30,194 --> 00:38:32,473 Speaker 1: no filter. Do I think he's going to do it? No, 870 00:38:32,834 --> 00:38:35,993 Speaker 1: But like who knows what if I say no. If 871 00:38:36,034 --> 00:38:37,873 Speaker 1: I say no, he's never going to do it. But 872 00:38:37,994 --> 00:38:41,194 Speaker 1: if I ask, you never know, maybe he would. Maybe 873 00:38:41,234 --> 00:38:44,154 Speaker 1: we need to turn it into a running Maybe I'll. 874 00:38:43,994 --> 00:38:47,674 Speaker 2: Call it a running segment. Yeah, a running a running 875 00:38:47,714 --> 00:38:50,474 Speaker 2: segment about running. Well, I do love that, and I 876 00:38:50,514 --> 00:38:52,594 Speaker 2: do think yeh like having literally sat next to the 877 00:38:52,594 --> 00:38:55,194 Speaker 2: homes titles in magazines for years and listening to the 878 00:38:55,194 --> 00:38:56,913 Speaker 2: fun things they get to talk about and the cool 879 00:38:56,914 --> 00:38:58,434 Speaker 2: shoots they get to go on. I do think the 880 00:38:58,514 --> 00:39:01,074 Speaker 2: day Harry Styles team called up and said would we 881 00:39:01,274 --> 00:39:04,554 Speaker 2: like to do a BHD cover, people would have been fainting. 882 00:39:04,594 --> 00:39:06,234 Speaker 2: The office would have been a gust. People would have 883 00:39:06,234 --> 00:39:08,234 Speaker 2: been running and screaming. Harris Styles would be playing on 884 00:39:08,234 --> 00:39:10,234 Speaker 2: the speakers. It would have been absolute better. 885 00:39:10,554 --> 00:39:12,194 Speaker 1: So that's what I love about him. He's full of 886 00:39:12,194 --> 00:39:15,194 Speaker 1: surprises and this album is definitely one of them. 887 00:39:15,474 --> 00:39:17,194 Speaker 2: So before we go, I do have to ask you 888 00:39:17,794 --> 00:39:20,314 Speaker 2: this album is sonically different to the things that he's 889 00:39:20,314 --> 00:39:22,234 Speaker 2: done before. You've written a really great review. It is 890 00:39:22,274 --> 00:39:23,674 Speaker 2: going to be in our show notes for anyone who 891 00:39:23,674 --> 00:39:25,194 Speaker 2: wants to check it out. But I would love to 892 00:39:25,234 --> 00:39:27,554 Speaker 2: know how do you think this album stacks up to 893 00:39:27,674 --> 00:39:29,634 Speaker 2: his previous work and how do you think it's going 894 00:39:29,674 --> 00:39:30,834 Speaker 2: to go for him in the charts. 895 00:39:31,234 --> 00:39:33,754 Speaker 1: Oh, that is really interesting. I am interested to see 896 00:39:33,754 --> 00:39:35,554 Speaker 1: how it will go on the charts. It will like 897 00:39:35,594 --> 00:39:38,754 Speaker 1: it'll be number one of course, because like firstly, no 898 00:39:38,794 --> 00:39:40,513 Speaker 1: one else is going to go up against him. Yeah, 899 00:39:40,554 --> 00:39:43,154 Speaker 1: so he's got clean air for a while. But also 900 00:39:43,274 --> 00:39:45,034 Speaker 1: he's got a huge, fervent fan base that are going 901 00:39:45,074 --> 00:39:47,274 Speaker 1: to be playing and playing and playing and buying that record. 902 00:39:47,434 --> 00:39:50,194 Speaker 1: Everyone also bought it as a fan before that even 903 00:39:50,234 --> 00:39:52,553 Speaker 1: heard it, So it will go really well in the charts. 904 00:39:52,594 --> 00:39:54,674 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see like if it's got a 905 00:39:54,714 --> 00:39:59,314 Speaker 1: long tail on it as well. Personally, it's not my 906 00:39:59,314 --> 00:40:02,354 Speaker 1: favorite album of case, I really really enjoy it. I 907 00:40:02,394 --> 00:40:03,954 Speaker 1: will be listening to it a lot. I will be 908 00:40:03,994 --> 00:40:08,794 Speaker 1: adding songs to my playlist.
