We have some great 23 00:01:12,664 --> 00:01:16,064 Speaker 2: recommendations for you today, but first, Emily Vernon, you need 24 00:01:16,104 --> 00:01:16,944 Speaker 2: to tell us a story. 25 00:01:17,104 --> 00:01:22,624 Speaker 1: Yes, I actually cheated on you during the holidays, because this. 26 00:01:22,504 --> 00:01:24,784 Speaker 2: Is how you tell me in a public for I 27 00:01:24,904 --> 00:01:25,624 Speaker 2: was scared. 28 00:01:25,344 --> 00:01:27,624 Speaker 1: So I thought it would be a safe environment for 29 00:01:27,664 --> 00:01:30,544 Speaker 1: me to say it publicly. I actually went to see 30 00:01:30,544 --> 00:01:36,104 Speaker 1: a new movie without you. Wow, the betrayal. I went, girl, 31 00:01:36,264 --> 00:01:38,104 Speaker 1: I went with my parents. 32 00:01:38,504 --> 00:01:39,384 Speaker 2: That'll go well. 33 00:01:39,584 --> 00:01:42,824 Speaker 1: My dad was gifted gold class cinema tickets and that's 34 00:01:42,824 --> 00:01:44,624 Speaker 1: a good gift. It was a good gift, and he 35 00:01:44,904 --> 00:01:46,664 Speaker 1: just he's like a family man. He's like, I only 36 00:01:46,704 --> 00:01:48,384 Speaker 1: want to go to see it with you, guys. I 37 00:01:48,544 --> 00:01:50,344 Speaker 1: love your dad so much. The poor guy had to 38 00:01:50,384 --> 00:01:53,024 Speaker 1: find a movie that I hadn't already watched, and we 39 00:01:53,144 --> 00:01:57,784 Speaker 1: settled on the Robbie Williams Newish Now biopic called Better Man. 40 00:02:00,344 --> 00:02:03,744 Speaker 1: I'm Robbie Williams. I'm one of the biggest pop stars 41 00:02:03,744 --> 00:02:08,824 Speaker 1: in the world. This is my story, but I'm not 42 00:02:08,864 --> 00:02:11,544 Speaker 1: going to tell it in an ordinary because I don't 43 00:02:11,584 --> 00:02:16,304 Speaker 1: see myself help over Seemi and the next two hours. 44 00:02:16,504 --> 00:02:18,064 Speaker 2: Your US's right. 45 00:02:18,264 --> 00:02:21,144 Speaker 1: To be honest. I've always been a little less evolved 46 00:02:22,104 --> 00:02:24,704 Speaker 1: on a rack, so let's take it from the top, 47 00:02:24,824 --> 00:02:26,984 Speaker 1: shall we. So we went to watch it as a 48 00:02:27,024 --> 00:02:31,104 Speaker 1: family during the Christmas holidays, and I was so skeptical 49 00:02:31,384 --> 00:02:33,904 Speaker 1: of this film. If you've seen the trailers, if you've 50 00:02:33,904 --> 00:02:36,344 Speaker 1: seen the posters for it, you would know that the 51 00:02:36,384 --> 00:02:38,824 Speaker 1: main thing that everyone talks about this film is that 52 00:02:38,944 --> 00:02:42,424 Speaker 1: Robbie Williams, like his character isn't actually in the movie. 53 00:02:42,504 --> 00:02:46,504 Speaker 1: He's played by a CGI chimpanzee. Yes, So that was 54 00:02:46,584 --> 00:02:48,624 Speaker 1: what made me a bit skeptical, because I did read 55 00:02:48,624 --> 00:02:50,944 Speaker 1: the reviews when it first came out, and people weren't 56 00:02:50,984 --> 00:02:55,464 Speaker 1: happy with the chimpanzee stand in. So to give you context, 57 00:02:55,584 --> 00:02:58,504 Speaker 1: Robbie Williams does narrate and sing all the songs for 58 00:02:58,584 --> 00:03:01,304 Speaker 1: the film. An actor named John o' davies. You might 59 00:03:01,344 --> 00:03:03,744 Speaker 1: know him from Kingsman. He's a fairly young actor. He 60 00:03:03,824 --> 00:03:07,224 Speaker 1: did the motion performance and the voice of the chimpanzee. 61 00:03:08,144 --> 00:03:13,264 Speaker 1: This movie was brilliant. I was obsessed with it. Halfway through, 62 00:03:13,344 --> 00:03:16,624 Speaker 1: I completely forgot that it was even like a CGI chimpanzee, 63 00:03:16,664 --> 00:03:19,304 Speaker 1: Like I just saw Robbie Williams And I asked my 64 00:03:19,384 --> 00:03:21,184 Speaker 1: parents after and they were like, yeah, that was like 65 00:03:21,344 --> 00:03:23,704 Speaker 1: the most amazing thing. And I felt so bad for 66 00:03:23,744 --> 00:03:25,464 Speaker 1: the film because I feel like it didn't get that 67 00:03:25,584 --> 00:03:28,664 Speaker 1: much hype. People haven't really talked about it much. And 68 00:03:28,704 --> 00:03:31,024 Speaker 1: it was like probably one of my favorite biopics I've 69 00:03:31,024 --> 00:03:34,224 Speaker 1: ever watched of a musician, similar to a completely unknown 70 00:03:34,304 --> 00:03:37,144 Speaker 1: He was quite honest with the depiction of his life, 71 00:03:37,184 --> 00:03:39,944 Speaker 1: like he didn't shy away from like his drug addiction, 72 00:03:40,144 --> 00:03:42,504 Speaker 1: his mental health struggles, and then like the way he 73 00:03:42,544 --> 00:03:45,544 Speaker 1: would kind of treat fame and his addiction to fame, 74 00:03:45,624 --> 00:03:47,904 Speaker 1: Like you really saw how much he loved that fame 75 00:03:47,984 --> 00:03:49,904 Speaker 1: right from when he was the youngest member of Take 76 00:03:49,944 --> 00:03:53,304 Speaker 1: That till the end of his solo career. I just 77 00:03:53,304 --> 00:03:56,064 Speaker 1: thought it was brilliant. Americans didn't really like it, though, 78 00:03:56,104 --> 00:03:57,424 Speaker 1: did you see that a lot. 79 00:03:57,304 --> 00:03:59,904 Speaker 2: Of people don't know who he is? Io was saying that, 80 00:03:59,984 --> 00:04:02,144 Speaker 2: But I don't know if that's quite true, Like I 81 00:04:02,184 --> 00:04:04,224 Speaker 2: think that maybe just took off from a few tiktoks. 82 00:04:04,224 --> 00:04:05,944 Speaker 2: And then the thing is that Robbie Williams was being 83 00:04:05,984 --> 00:04:08,744 Speaker 2: asked about that on so many red carpets, and I 84 00:04:08,784 --> 00:04:10,984 Speaker 2: think he was answering it quite nice at first, but 85 00:04:11,024 --> 00:04:12,384 Speaker 2: he got very over it. And there's a clip of 86 00:04:12,424 --> 00:04:15,224 Speaker 2: him on one Red Carpet where the interviewer says, do 87 00:04:15,264 --> 00:04:17,104 Speaker 2: you have a message for the Americans who don't know you? 88 00:04:17,144 --> 00:04:19,944 Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I've got a message for that one person. Hey, Susan, 89 00:04:19,984 --> 00:04:21,864 Speaker 2: how are you and kind of just like went along. 90 00:04:22,264 --> 00:04:23,984 Speaker 2: I think a lot of the backlash or just people 91 00:04:24,024 --> 00:04:26,544 Speaker 2: not being interested is that people couldn't get around the 92 00:04:26,544 --> 00:04:29,584 Speaker 2: idea of the chimpanzee being the star. But wasn't that 93 00:04:29,624 --> 00:04:32,384 Speaker 2: done because they didn't want Robbie Williams to play himself. 94 00:04:32,504 --> 00:04:34,344 Speaker 2: They didn't know who could play him, but they also 95 00:04:34,384 --> 00:04:36,864 Speaker 2: wanted to, like, I guess tell a bigger story about 96 00:04:36,864 --> 00:04:39,384 Speaker 2: what fame does to you. Yeah, And so the idea 97 00:04:39,544 --> 00:04:40,944 Speaker 2: is that he felt like he was seen as a 98 00:04:40,984 --> 00:04:41,864 Speaker 2: performing monkey. 99 00:04:41,664 --> 00:04:42,864 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, like a show monkey. 100 00:04:42,984 --> 00:04:43,224 Speaker 2: Yeah. 101 00:04:43,264 --> 00:04:45,824 Speaker 1: But like I can't even explain the CGI monkey when 102 00:04:45,824 --> 00:04:49,344 Speaker 1: you're watching the film, it like transitions the same way 103 00:04:49,384 --> 00:04:51,624 Speaker 1: as Robbie Williams was, Like, it has his same movement. 104 00:04:51,744 --> 00:04:54,184 Speaker 1: John O. Davies is amazing as like the motion actor 105 00:04:54,264 --> 00:04:56,864 Speaker 1: for that. The monkey like goes a bit blonde to it, 106 00:04:56,944 --> 00:05:00,704 Speaker 1: and they also use Robbie Williams's real eyes, so his 107 00:05:00,824 --> 00:05:04,624 Speaker 1: actual expression it looks like Robbie Williams, and I can't 108 00:05:04,624 --> 00:05:07,384 Speaker 1: explain it until you actually see it. It is so 109 00:05:07,864 --> 00:05:11,824 Speaker 1: brilliantly done, and I think it was so honest as well, Nana. 110 00:05:13,424 --> 00:05:15,664 Speaker 2: Okay, when I was looking at my best bipicks of 111 00:05:15,664 --> 00:05:17,624 Speaker 2: all time that I have personally seen, obviously I haven't 112 00:05:17,624 --> 00:05:19,104 Speaker 2: seen all of them. It was really hard. 113 00:05:19,144 --> 00:05:20,664 Speaker 1: I haven't seen every single bipick. 114 00:05:20,704 --> 00:05:22,944 Speaker 2: And can I just say, I looked at the list 115 00:05:23,064 --> 00:05:26,144 Speaker 2: on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes of the hundred best biopicks, 116 00:05:26,144 --> 00:05:26,984 Speaker 2: and I'm seeing most of them. 117 00:05:26,984 --> 00:05:29,224 Speaker 1: It's actually think that's pretty impressive. We're also only doing 118 00:05:29,264 --> 00:05:32,944 Speaker 1: like musician. Yes, Like I'd love to do an all 119 00:05:32,944 --> 00:05:34,504 Speaker 1: time biopic and I think we should. 120 00:05:34,624 --> 00:05:36,744 Speaker 2: Well, we'll do one for Hollywood stars down the track 121 00:05:36,784 --> 00:05:39,664 Speaker 2: and so on and so forth. Write that down and 122 00:05:39,744 --> 00:05:42,064 Speaker 2: write that down producing him. So yeah, it was very 123 00:05:42,064 --> 00:05:43,904 Speaker 2: hard to narrow down. But I wanted to start off 124 00:05:43,904 --> 00:05:46,104 Speaker 2: with a movie that I've watched a couple of times 125 00:05:46,104 --> 00:05:48,344 Speaker 2: and I think about all the time, the Runaways. 126 00:05:48,384 --> 00:05:49,704 Speaker 1: Have you seen it? I haven't seen them? 127 00:05:49,744 --> 00:05:51,824 Speaker 2: Okay, I think you would love this because it's also 128 00:05:51,864 --> 00:05:53,584 Speaker 2: as much as it's a story about a band and 129 00:05:53,624 --> 00:05:55,824 Speaker 2: all female bands also very much a coming of age 130 00:05:56,224 --> 00:05:58,024 Speaker 2: story and a story of female friendships. 131 00:05:58,064 --> 00:06:00,464 Speaker 1: So write up your alley runaways. 132 00:06:00,504 --> 00:06:02,104 Speaker 2: Oh she's actually writing. Are you running it down the 133 00:06:02,144 --> 00:06:02,704 Speaker 2: top of your script? 134 00:06:02,824 --> 00:06:04,664 Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, I'll just wait till you've done. Thank you, 135 00:06:04,824 --> 00:06:05,144 Speaker 1: You're good. 136 00:06:05,264 --> 00:06:08,504 Speaker 2: Yeah. So it came out in twenty ten, and it's 137 00:06:08,544 --> 00:06:11,664 Speaker 2: about this nineteen seventies rock bank, all the runaways, And 138 00:06:11,704 --> 00:06:13,864 Speaker 2: it's actually based on a memoir from one of the 139 00:06:13,904 --> 00:06:17,624 Speaker 2: members of the band Neon Angel, a memoir of Runaways 140 00:06:17,664 --> 00:06:22,584 Speaker 2: by the band's lead vocalist Sherry Curry. My name is Dre. 141 00:06:23,064 --> 00:06:26,344 Speaker 2: My life was ready for a change. It really looks terrible. God. 142 00:06:27,144 --> 00:06:28,304 Speaker 2: It all started with jump. 143 00:06:30,344 --> 00:06:32,544 Speaker 1: I'm John Jet I want to start along a rock band. 144 00:06:32,824 --> 00:06:35,784 Speaker 2: Once we met, we love your look. We are choosing 145 00:06:35,864 --> 00:06:37,984 Speaker 2: you to be a part of rock and roll history. 146 00:06:39,504 --> 00:06:41,304 Speaker 2: We did what no one else thought we could do. 147 00:06:41,224 --> 00:06:42,624 Speaker 2: Do you know how many Naunds think they're going to 148 00:06:42,664 --> 00:06:42,864 Speaker 2: make it? 149 00:06:43,024 --> 00:06:44,024 Speaker 1: Excuse me, but I don't want. 150 00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:47,904 Speaker 2: To look at the pup and fries. First in my life. 151 00:06:47,784 --> 00:06:50,624 Speaker 1: People said we were about influence, open up, be a 152 00:06:50,624 --> 00:06:52,864 Speaker 1: filthy n But who are they to tell us that? 153 00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:54,864 Speaker 1: What is any baby champion? 154 00:06:55,544 --> 00:06:57,984 Speaker 2: We were about to make rock and roll History. Why 155 00:06:58,064 --> 00:07:00,264 Speaker 2: did it Mercury, we got signed? 156 00:07:02,064 --> 00:07:04,024 Speaker 1: I feel bad that I haven't heard of them before. 157 00:07:04,144 --> 00:07:06,304 Speaker 2: Well you might have heard of their biggest breakaway star, 158 00:07:06,464 --> 00:07:09,664 Speaker 2: Joone Jet. Oh yeah, yes, So James Jet was originally 159 00:07:09,704 --> 00:07:11,864 Speaker 2: in The run Away with Sherry Curry, and like the 160 00:07:11,904 --> 00:07:14,824 Speaker 2: other band members, the movie sticks kind of close to 161 00:07:15,104 --> 00:07:17,984 Speaker 2: the actual story. So I should say Sherry is played 162 00:07:17,984 --> 00:07:21,304 Speaker 2: by Dakota Fanning and jon Jet is played by Christian Stewart, 163 00:07:21,664 --> 00:07:25,184 Speaker 2: and they are incredible in it. So the story starts 164 00:07:25,184 --> 00:07:26,904 Speaker 2: off with like these young women, they both want to 165 00:07:26,944 --> 00:07:29,224 Speaker 2: be singers. They come together in this all girl band 166 00:07:29,344 --> 00:07:33,104 Speaker 2: called the Runaways. Joan and Sherry in particular, have a 167 00:07:33,144 --> 00:07:36,104 Speaker 2: really strong relationship. At the time, there was so much 168 00:07:36,184 --> 00:07:38,664 Speaker 2: publicized around this movie that it was a romance between 169 00:07:38,784 --> 00:07:42,064 Speaker 2: Dakota Johnson's character and Christian Stewart's character, But they only 170 00:07:42,064 --> 00:07:43,944 Speaker 2: really share one passionate kiss and the rest of the 171 00:07:43,944 --> 00:07:45,904 Speaker 2: time they're friends. So if you're going just for that, 172 00:07:45,904 --> 00:07:48,104 Speaker 2: you're going to be disappointed. It's a different kind of story, 173 00:07:48,464 --> 00:07:50,744 Speaker 2: and it charts the Runaways as they come together. They'd 174 00:07:50,744 --> 00:07:53,184 Speaker 2: be this all girl rocker band in like nineteen seventies 175 00:07:53,304 --> 00:07:56,064 Speaker 2: la and what they go through trying to be famous, 176 00:07:56,104 --> 00:07:58,984 Speaker 2: and then they do get like a really swift rise 177 00:07:58,984 --> 00:08:00,624 Speaker 2: in fame and they have to deal with all these 178 00:08:00,664 --> 00:08:03,464 Speaker 2: fans and things. But behind the scenes, like Sherry is 179 00:08:03,464 --> 00:08:06,144 Speaker 2: becoming really the breakout star and that's causing issues with 180 00:08:06,144 --> 00:08:08,264 Speaker 2: a lot of the other band members. She gets like 181 00:08:08,304 --> 00:08:12,424 Speaker 2: solo magazine covers. She's also battle really bad addiction. And 182 00:08:12,464 --> 00:08:15,104 Speaker 2: it charts how this rise to fame happens, and how 183 00:08:15,144 --> 00:08:17,344 Speaker 2: when they go to record another album, how the band 184 00:08:17,464 --> 00:08:19,544 Speaker 2: breaks apart, and how it sets Joane up to go 185 00:08:19,584 --> 00:08:22,864 Speaker 2: off and be this breakaway star, and what their relationship 186 00:08:22,904 --> 00:08:23,744 Speaker 2: looks like after that. 187 00:08:23,824 --> 00:08:24,824 Speaker 1: It's such a good. 188 00:08:24,664 --> 00:08:28,544 Speaker 2: Movie, Like the music scenes are incredible, the acting's great, 189 00:08:28,584 --> 00:08:31,304 Speaker 2: the script is amazing. Sherry and Joan have both talked 190 00:08:31,304 --> 00:08:33,664 Speaker 2: about the movie, and both of them said that it 191 00:08:33,704 --> 00:08:37,024 Speaker 2: captured nineteen seventies la in a way that felt very 192 00:08:37,064 --> 00:08:38,864 Speaker 2: true to them what they had lived through when they 193 00:08:38,864 --> 00:08:41,344 Speaker 2: were young musicians. So it's sort of like the glam, 194 00:08:41,504 --> 00:08:44,704 Speaker 2: the rockinness, the music and the intensity, but also like 195 00:08:44,744 --> 00:08:46,664 Speaker 2: how dangerous it was and all those sorts of things 196 00:08:46,784 --> 00:08:49,384 Speaker 2: what was happening behind the scenes. Terry has said that 197 00:08:49,464 --> 00:08:51,304 Speaker 2: even though it's based on her book. She's like, they 198 00:08:51,304 --> 00:08:54,664 Speaker 2: did take, you know, editorial license with some of the storylines, 199 00:08:54,664 --> 00:08:56,504 Speaker 2: which I think just happens when you're turning a story 200 00:08:56,544 --> 00:08:58,464 Speaker 2: into a movie, Like there are obviously scenes that didn't 201 00:08:58,504 --> 00:09:01,224 Speaker 2: happen or scenes that the filmmakers had to imagine. And 202 00:09:01,264 --> 00:09:03,384 Speaker 2: then Joan Jet said that she felt it was very 203 00:09:03,424 --> 00:09:05,864 Speaker 2: true to the time, but she said, obviously it's based 204 00:09:05,864 --> 00:09:08,184 Speaker 2: on Sherry's book, so it's going to be her perspective, 205 00:09:08,304 --> 00:09:11,464 Speaker 2: and you know, it's not exactly the truth of what happened. 206 00:09:11,464 --> 00:09:12,904 Speaker 2: But I think the fact that both of them came 207 00:09:12,944 --> 00:09:14,624 Speaker 2: out and sad, that it captured the mood and what 208 00:09:14,664 --> 00:09:17,904 Speaker 2: their friendship was and how their careers began is just 209 00:09:17,944 --> 00:09:19,544 Speaker 2: a way to sort of say that, like it is 210 00:09:19,624 --> 00:09:21,144 Speaker 2: a part of their history. But it's just such a 211 00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:23,344 Speaker 2: good movie. It's actually one of Christian Stuwitt's best roles. 212 00:09:23,384 --> 00:09:25,624 Speaker 2: And Dakota Fanning, I mean, the whole cast is good, 213 00:09:25,664 --> 00:09:28,704 Speaker 2: but in particular them as the two central characters, and 214 00:09:28,784 --> 00:09:30,864 Speaker 2: they both like sing live through a lot of it. 215 00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:33,384 Speaker 2: They play instruments. Dakota Fanning when she was prepping for 216 00:09:33,424 --> 00:09:35,264 Speaker 2: the role, like got up on stage with bands for 217 00:09:35,304 --> 00:09:37,704 Speaker 2: the first time, like real life concerts to sing with them, 218 00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:39,664 Speaker 2: to like get a vibe of before she went and 219 00:09:39,664 --> 00:09:42,264 Speaker 2: played this rock star And yeah, I just remember the 220 00:09:42,304 --> 00:09:43,544 Speaker 2: first time I watched it when it came out in 221 00:09:43,544 --> 00:09:46,064 Speaker 2: twenty ten, just loving it.

So it's 259 00:11:21,264 --> 00:11:23,864 Speaker 2: about the story of Ray Charles. Who is I mean, 260 00:11:23,904 --> 00:11:25,184 Speaker 2: I don't think I have to introduce him. One of 261 00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:27,944 Speaker 2: the most famous musicians who has ever lived, played by 262 00:11:28,024 --> 00:11:30,424 Speaker 2: Jamie Fox, who went on to win an Academy Award 263 00:11:30,424 --> 00:11:33,184 Speaker 2: for the role. And a lot of the time when people, 264 00:11:33,384 --> 00:11:36,624 Speaker 2: especially like really esteem actors who have had really big careers, 265 00:11:36,984 --> 00:11:39,224 Speaker 2: go and play a real life person, especially a person 266 00:11:39,264 --> 00:11:42,384 Speaker 2: who's really beloved in the entertainment industry. Often they'll sort 267 00:11:42,384 --> 00:11:44,144 Speaker 2: of just get an oscar as like, oh, well done, 268 00:11:44,184 --> 00:11:47,064 Speaker 2: we love that person. But and then as time goes on, 269 00:11:47,144 --> 00:11:49,264 Speaker 2: people look back and think like, oh, they probably shouldn't 270 00:11:49,264 --> 00:11:51,904 Speaker 2: have won that. Not naming any names, Reese with a 271 00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:56,664 Speaker 2: spoon and many men, many more men. But Jamie Fox. 272 00:11:56,704 --> 00:11:58,704 Speaker 2: I think people still talk about the fact that his 273 00:11:58,784 --> 00:12:01,944 Speaker 2: performance is incredible, how he can capture the character and 274 00:12:02,024 --> 00:12:03,744 Speaker 2: all that sort of thing that makes it a great movie. 275 00:12:03,784 --> 00:12:06,904 Speaker 1: So was that his real voice? Was it Jamie Fox's voice? 276 00:12:06,944 --> 00:12:09,424 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's singing in some of the scenes. Insane, Isn't 277 00:12:09,424 --> 00:12:12,064 Speaker 2: that crazy? I think in some places like sec music 278 00:12:12,104 --> 00:12:14,344 Speaker 2: playing in the background, but he is singing in some scenes. 279 00:12:14,424 --> 00:12:18,544 Speaker 1: Someone who I thought was better mm Jamie FOXX was 280 00:12:18,584 --> 00:12:19,264 Speaker 1: Regina King. 281 00:12:19,824 --> 00:12:23,104 Speaker 2: Regina King is amazing in it. Kerry Washington's amazing in it. 282 00:12:23,144 --> 00:12:25,744 Speaker 2: Like there's just so many Everyone in the supporting roles 283 00:12:25,824 --> 00:12:27,624 Speaker 2: is great too. It's one of those rare movies where 284 00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:30,264 Speaker 2: just everything works, like the pacing works, the use of 285 00:12:30,344 --> 00:12:33,144 Speaker 2: music works, what they chose to show of his story, like, 286 00:12:33,184 --> 00:12:35,184 Speaker 2: it's a very cohesive film. And even if you know 287 00:12:35,264 --> 00:12:37,304 Speaker 2: nothing about him, which I'm assuming, like there are people 288 00:12:37,304 --> 00:12:39,344 Speaker 2: out there who don't know his story, you'd still be 289 00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:42,264 Speaker 2: really swept up in it. So it focuses from like 290 00:12:42,344 --> 00:12:45,184 Speaker 2: thirty years of his life, so you see his early years, 291 00:12:45,224 --> 00:12:47,504 Speaker 2: which I found really disturbing to watch, just you know, 292 00:12:47,584 --> 00:12:49,904 Speaker 2: he loses his sight as a kid, and obviously Ray 293 00:12:49,984 --> 00:12:53,024 Speaker 2: Charles was very famous for always playing with sunglasses on 294 00:12:53,064 --> 00:12:55,064 Speaker 2: to hide his eyes, and the fact that he also 295 00:12:55,264 --> 00:12:57,864 Speaker 2: just did all the things he did without eyesight is incredible. 296 00:12:58,104 --> 00:12:59,744 Speaker 2: But it also shows like how the loss of his 297 00:12:59,784 --> 00:13:02,664 Speaker 2: little brother affects him so badly throughout his life and 298 00:13:02,704 --> 00:13:05,864 Speaker 2: his mother, and then as he becomes a star, you know, 299 00:13:05,904 --> 00:13:08,704 Speaker 2: people take advantage of him, and also he's battling really 300 00:13:08,744 --> 00:13:12,384 Speaker 2: intense addiction throughout the whole movie. He cheats on many women, 301 00:13:12,504 --> 00:13:14,264 Speaker 2: falls in and out of love a lot, cheats on them. 302 00:13:14,344 --> 00:13:17,144 Speaker 2: There's also some incredible scenes that show like what segregation 303 00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:18,504 Speaker 2: was like at the time and how he took a 304 00:13:18,544 --> 00:13:21,424 Speaker 2: stand on that and what the repercussions were.

Rami Malix on that list? Your thought? 344 00:15:37,504 --> 00:15:39,664 Speaker 2: You don't agree. People sometimes think that he was more 345 00:15:39,704 --> 00:15:42,904 Speaker 2: of a caricature, well more so, that he wasn't the 346 00:15:42,904 --> 00:15:44,144 Speaker 2: best performance of the year. 347 00:15:44,184 --> 00:15:46,944 Speaker 1: But obviously it's so subjective. I was surprised that he 348 00:15:47,104 --> 00:15:50,824 Speaker 1: won because I thought the entire Bye pick Yes, it 349 00:15:50,944 --> 00:15:55,424 Speaker 1: was deeply about Freddie Mercury's life and his sexuality and 350 00:15:55,504 --> 00:15:58,664 Speaker 1: his addiction to drugs, and also like him trying to 351 00:15:58,744 --> 00:16:01,304 Speaker 1: navigate fame and also have family issues, which is all 352 00:16:01,424 --> 00:16:04,024 Speaker 1: very real and stuff that he before he passed away 353 00:16:04,024 --> 00:16:06,824 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one he actually talked about pretty much 354 00:16:06,824 --> 00:16:10,104 Speaker 1: on his deathbed. But I thought that the entire bipick 355 00:16:10,184 --> 00:16:13,304 Speaker 1: was showcasing more the kind of evolution of the Queen 356 00:16:13,384 --> 00:16:16,264 Speaker 1: music and how much this band of these guys just 357 00:16:16,344 --> 00:16:19,344 Speaker 1: wanted to like make crazy songs, which is similar to you, 358 00:16:19,344 --> 00:16:21,344 Speaker 1: I guess, a complete unknown, Like they just wanted to 359 00:16:21,344 --> 00:16:24,304 Speaker 1: try all these different songs, and their managers like no 360 00:16:24,344 --> 00:16:26,624 Speaker 1: one will ever listen to them. Yeah, and then they 361 00:16:26,824 --> 00:16:28,864 Speaker 1: just did it anyway and they became the most famous 362 00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:32,304 Speaker 1: songs in the world. I think he deserved his award 363 00:16:32,744 --> 00:16:34,624 Speaker 1: just for the end scene alone. 364 00:16:34,224 --> 00:16:35,624 Speaker 2: And that is amazing. 365 00:16:35,704 --> 00:16:39,744 Speaker 1: The live AID performance I remember after we watched the biopic, 366 00:16:40,104 --> 00:16:43,144 Speaker 1: we then watched a video of the Rabbi Malick like 367 00:16:43,184 --> 00:16:45,984 Speaker 1: by pick of the live AID performance on a split 368 00:16:46,024 --> 00:16:48,824 Speaker 1: screen of the actual Freddie Mercury and Queen Live Aid 369 00:16:48,904 --> 00:16:53,304 Speaker 1: performance the exact same Wow, like his performance, like he 370 00:16:53,344 --> 00:16:56,224 Speaker 1: would have studied so hard to get those exact moves, 371 00:16:56,544 --> 00:16:59,584 Speaker 1: that exact movement of his mouth. Like Freddie Mercury, apparently 372 00:16:59,584 --> 00:17:02,144 Speaker 1: he thought that he had more teeth than the normal person, 373 00:17:02,184 --> 00:17:04,704 Speaker 1: which is why he had such a large mouth, and 374 00:17:04,744 --> 00:17:07,104 Speaker 1: he never wanted to get that fixed because he thought 375 00:17:07,144 --> 00:17:09,184 Speaker 1: that that's what made him sing so well and what 376 00:17:09,264 --> 00:17:11,904 Speaker 1: made him do those belting notes. And the way like 377 00:17:12,264 --> 00:17:14,664 Speaker 1: Rammy was able to work with those prosthetics to make 378 00:17:14,704 --> 00:17:18,544 Speaker 1: it actually look like his face was insane to me. 379 00:17:19,264 --> 00:17:21,384 Speaker 1: But I do think that he didn't get that much 380 00:17:21,384 --> 00:17:23,744 Speaker 1: opportunity to show off his acting skills in the movie 381 00:17:23,824 --> 00:17:26,704 Speaker 1: because I don't think it was really just about him, 382 00:17:26,824 --> 00:17:29,424 Speaker 1: just about the band and the actual band. Like Brian Made, 383 00:17:29,424 --> 00:17:33,824 Speaker 1: the guitarist of Queen, was an executive producer on the movie. 384 00:17:33,944 --> 00:17:36,184 Speaker 1: The band was very involved in that story, and I 385 00:17:36,184 --> 00:17:39,344 Speaker 1: think they also wanted to preserve Freddie Mercury's legacy. They 386 00:17:39,344 --> 00:17:41,104 Speaker 1: didn't want to kind of like throw him under the 387 00:17:41,104 --> 00:17:42,744 Speaker 1: bus because, like I mean, the man's dead. 388 00:17:42,984 --> 00:17:45,304 Speaker 2: Well, that's the hard thing, isn't it is that with 389 00:17:45,584 --> 00:17:48,664 Speaker 2: music biopics, a lot of the backlash often from both 390 00:17:48,664 --> 00:17:50,544 Speaker 2: from the people it's abaud or people who knew them, 391 00:17:50,584 --> 00:17:53,184 Speaker 2: but also from audiences and critics is like this scene 392 00:17:53,184 --> 00:17:54,904 Speaker 2: didn't happen, or it didn't happen like that, And I 393 00:17:54,944 --> 00:17:56,584 Speaker 2: think you have to just think. And obviously it'd be 394 00:17:56,584 --> 00:17:58,384 Speaker 2: harder if you were watching a movie about yourself and 395 00:17:58,384 --> 00:18:00,544 Speaker 2: it was incorrect. But it's not meant to be like 396 00:18:00,544 --> 00:18:02,584 Speaker 2: a historical retelling. It's not meant to be like a 397 00:18:02,584 --> 00:18:02,984 Speaker 2: beat bike. 398 00:18:03,144 --> 00:18:05,224 Speaker 1: It's still entertainment. Like it's not a document. 399 00:18:05,264 --> 00:18:07,464 Speaker 2: It has to be fictionalized. Things have to be changed. Also, 400 00:18:07,584 --> 00:18:09,544 Speaker 2: there are stories about things that happened in like back 401 00:18:09,664 --> 00:18:11,944 Speaker 2: rooms or between people, but we don't know. And also 402 00:18:11,944 --> 00:18:14,184 Speaker 2: what you're saying about protecting people of past. That's why 403 00:18:14,184 --> 00:18:17,784 Speaker 2: Bob Dylan asked for the name of el Fanning's character 404 00:18:17,864 --> 00:18:20,104 Speaker 2: to be changed in a Greater No One because they 405 00:18:20,144 --> 00:18:23,464 Speaker 2: had a very tumultuous relationship, but he still thinks of 406 00:18:23,504 --> 00:18:25,064 Speaker 2: her kind of if you read between the lines, is 407 00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,424 Speaker 2: the love of his life and and she's not alive 408 00:18:27,544 --> 00:18:30,344 Speaker 2: to have a say in the story that's being told. 409 00:18:30,384 --> 00:18:32,704 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think you do have to. It's like 410 00:18:32,704 --> 00:18:34,944 Speaker 2: what Joan and Sherry were saying about the Runaways, like 411 00:18:34,984 --> 00:18:36,824 Speaker 2: they understand it's a fictionalized version. 412 00:18:36,864 --> 00:18:39,104 Speaker 1: They're all very similar. When we like break it down right, 413 00:18:39,144 --> 00:18:41,544 Speaker 1: they were all these like tortured poets, which is trying 414 00:18:41,584 --> 00:18:43,424 Speaker 1: to navigate fame, and they have one love of their 415 00:18:43,464 --> 00:18:45,904 Speaker 1: life and then they have like a shitty manager and 416 00:18:45,944 --> 00:18:47,904 Speaker 1: then they just kind of make it anyway. I just 417 00:18:47,944 --> 00:18:50,104 Speaker 1: find a lot of them are very same, say me, 418 00:18:50,344 --> 00:18:54,824 Speaker 1: But I think when the person themselves is involved with it, 419 00:18:54,864 --> 00:18:56,984 Speaker 1: that's where I get a bit skeptical because I'm a 420 00:18:56,984 --> 00:18:57,944 Speaker 1: bit like, well. 421 00:18:57,784 --> 00:18:59,904 Speaker 2: They get real. I think it's okay then, but you 422 00:18:59,944 --> 00:19:01,184 Speaker 2: just have to look at it through. It's like with 423 00:19:01,224 --> 00:19:04,424 Speaker 2: Elton John's Rockeman, like, he was so heavily involved in 424 00:19:04,424 --> 00:19:06,944 Speaker 2: that and he was choosing scenes and you do see 425 00:19:06,984 --> 00:19:09,504 Speaker 2: some scenes where he doesn't act like a perfect human 426 00:19:09,544 --> 00:19:12,504 Speaker 2: being or anything like that. But it's a very editorialized version. 427 00:19:12,664 --> 00:19:13,984 Speaker 2: But the thing is, I think you have to just 428 00:19:14,144 --> 00:19:16,704 Speaker 2: look at that. It's like when celebrities make their own documentaries, 429 00:19:16,704 --> 00:19:19,264 Speaker 2: like with Taylor Swift Miss Americana. It's not meant to 430 00:19:19,264 --> 00:19:21,784 Speaker 2: be this big tell all about her. It's just this 431 00:19:21,824 --> 00:19:23,784 Speaker 2: is the version she wanted us to see. So it's 432 00:19:23,784 --> 00:19:26,664 Speaker 2: more like, I think, what's interesting about people who release 433 00:19:26,704 --> 00:19:29,704 Speaker 2: their own documentaries or movies about themselves. It's like not 434 00:19:29,744 --> 00:19:31,984 Speaker 2: trying to know their history because it's very filtered history. 435 00:19:32,024 --> 00:19:34,224 Speaker 2: It's trying to realize, like what part of it do 436 00:19:34,304 --> 00:19:36,344 Speaker 2: they think is the most important for us to see 437 00:19:36,384 --> 00:19:37,424 Speaker 2: and how they're trying to tell it. 438 00:19:37,664 --> 00:19:40,664 Speaker 1: Yeah. My next one is one that I watched a 439 00:19:40,704 --> 00:19:45,624 Speaker 1: few times as well. It's straight out of Comptent. You 440 00:19:45,704 --> 00:19:50,624 Speaker 1: listening to competents very own, IQ, Easy E and Doctor Dred. 441 00:19:50,944 --> 00:19:53,304 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you you are witnessing history. 442 00:19:54,624 --> 00:19:56,104 Speaker 2: People are scaring at you, guys. 443 00:19:56,304 --> 00:19:59,424 Speaker 1: You have a unique voice. The world needs to hear. 444 00:19:59,744 --> 00:20:02,864 Speaker 2: They wa, Let's given me in w WA. 445 00:20:03,344 --> 00:20:03,904 Speaker 1: Straight out of. 446 00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:08,304 Speaker 2: Song Glamoriz Gang. 447 00:20:08,784 --> 00:20:10,904 Speaker 1: Our Art is a reflection about reality. 448 00:20:11,744 --> 00:20:14,224 Speaker 2: Great movie Oh So Good. 449 00:20:14,304 --> 00:20:17,424 Speaker 1: It came out in twenty fifteen and it follows the 450 00:20:17,544 --> 00:20:21,704 Speaker 1: music group NWA from nineteen eighty six to nineteen ninety five. 451 00:20:22,264 --> 00:20:23,824 Speaker 2: I thought I liked it. 452 00:20:23,784 --> 00:20:26,464 Speaker 1: Because I do listen to a lot of NWA music, 453 00:20:26,784 --> 00:20:28,304 Speaker 1: And I thought I really liked it because I was 454 00:20:28,304 --> 00:20:30,184 Speaker 1: a big fan of the music. I watched it with 455 00:20:30,224 --> 00:20:33,224 Speaker 1: my dad. My dad hates rap, like he doesn't understand 456 00:20:33,224 --> 00:20:36,144 Speaker 1: it's the mouths are moving too fast, I don't understand 457 00:20:36,144 --> 00:20:39,744 Speaker 1: the lyrics. He watched this and he was like, holy crap, 458 00:20:39,944 --> 00:20:43,104 Speaker 1: this is so yeah, and I thought the casting was 459 00:20:43,144 --> 00:20:45,904 Speaker 1: perfect for this. So it mainly follows the three like 460 00:20:45,944 --> 00:20:49,464 Speaker 1: I guess the biggest players in the NWA, ice Cube, 461 00:20:49,464 --> 00:20:55,224 Speaker 1: Doctor Dre and easye. Oh, just three geniuses, three geniuses. 462 00:20:55,264 --> 00:20:58,464 Speaker 1: Obviously ice Cube. We now know he's like very much 463 00:20:58,464 --> 00:21:01,464 Speaker 1: into film. He was heavily involved in the production of this, 464 00:21:01,824 --> 00:21:05,144 Speaker 1: and his son Oshea Jackson Junior played him and they 465 00:21:05,144 --> 00:21:07,384 Speaker 1: look the exact same and he did a brilliant role. 466 00:21:07,424 --> 00:21:08,984 Speaker 1: Imagine playing your dad in a movie. 467 00:21:09,344 --> 00:21:11,624 Speaker 2: I've already got the face in the matterisms and the voice, 468 00:21:11,624 --> 00:21:12,584 Speaker 2: so I just just say the line. 469 00:21:12,624 --> 00:21:15,384 Speaker 1: It was so good. Corey Hawkins played Doctor Dre. You 470 00:21:15,464 --> 00:21:19,104 Speaker 1: might have known him from the Color Purple best singing voice, 471 00:21:19,224 --> 00:21:21,824 Speaker 1: and Doctor Dre is still so so famous. He did 472 00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:24,944 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl a few years ago. He's like killing it, 473 00:21:25,224 --> 00:21:29,624 Speaker 1: and Easy, who tragically passed away from AIDS just before 474 00:21:30,104 --> 00:21:33,344 Speaker 1: they all had a reunion together. So it doesn't shy 475 00:21:33,424 --> 00:21:36,464 Speaker 1: away from anything. There was an honest depiction of how 476 00:21:36,584 --> 00:21:38,824 Speaker 1: these young boys kind of grew up in Compton and 477 00:21:38,864 --> 00:21:41,744 Speaker 1: then were able to make a name from themselves, like 478 00:21:42,024 --> 00:21:45,144 Speaker 1: play music. They didn't shy away from Easy being a 479 00:21:45,184 --> 00:21:47,264 Speaker 1: drug dealer, but then because of his drug dealing, was 480 00:21:47,264 --> 00:21:52,144 Speaker 1: able to fund and wa also their shitty manager Jerry. 481 00:21:52,024 --> 00:21:55,304 Speaker 2: Yeah, what a villain. I didn't see that villain. 482 00:21:55,504 --> 00:21:57,624 Speaker 1: I did not see that coming at all. And usually 483 00:21:57,624 --> 00:21:59,784 Speaker 1: it's always the shitty manager, yeah, but this one I 484 00:21:59,864 --> 00:22:02,784 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, finally a nice manager. Yeah, not like 485 00:22:02,864 --> 00:22:05,104 Speaker 1: Elton John, not like Freddie Mercury. 486 00:22:05,864 --> 00:22:08,024 Speaker 2: Still shitty. I think that's what these movies tell us. 487 00:22:08,064 --> 00:22:09,064 Speaker 2: It's always the manager. 488 00:22:09,344 --> 00:22:12,224 Speaker 1: And then just seeing after the group breakup and they're 489 00:22:12,224 --> 00:22:15,184 Speaker 1: all so famous, but there's still so much shitty things 490 00:22:15,184 --> 00:22:18,744 Speaker 1: happening in their like personal lives, like their family members 491 00:22:18,744 --> 00:22:21,144 Speaker 1: are being killed on the streets. I think the part 492 00:22:21,184 --> 00:22:23,504 Speaker 1: that they chose to film during what was happening in 493 00:22:23,544 --> 00:22:26,344 Speaker 1: the US at the time, with the Rodney King verdict 494 00:22:26,384 --> 00:22:29,344 Speaker 1: and the LA riots and like the police brutality, even 495 00:22:29,384 --> 00:22:31,784 Speaker 1: their song Fuck the Police, and how like so many 496 00:22:31,824 --> 00:22:33,824 Speaker 1: people try to stop them from playing it at certain 497 00:22:33,904 --> 00:22:36,584 Speaker 1: venues and they did it anyway. And then just the 498 00:22:36,624 --> 00:22:39,024 Speaker 1: dis tracks that came after when they all split up, 499 00:22:39,064 --> 00:22:41,064 Speaker 1: and then the reunion at the end. It was just 500 00:22:41,424 --> 00:22:45,464 Speaker 1: such good storytelling and I'm so happy that like ice 501 00:22:45,504 --> 00:22:47,384 Speaker 1: Cube and a lot of the members who were there 502 00:22:47,424 --> 00:22:49,624 Speaker 1: at the time were involved in the production for this, 503 00:22:50,064 --> 00:22:52,264 Speaker 1: because it just shows that no matter how much money 504 00:22:52,304 --> 00:22:55,144 Speaker 1: and fame you have, when it comes to racism, it 505 00:22:55,184 --> 00:22:58,024 Speaker 1: doesn't have any bounds, Like their family are still being 506 00:22:58,104 --> 00:23:00,504 Speaker 1: killed in the streets. Like it's just so so sad. 507 00:23:00,864 --> 00:23:02,664 Speaker 1: But I think they did it so well. 508 00:23:02,944 --> 00:23:04,384 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think with straight out of Comptident, it's 509 00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:06,144 Speaker 2: one of those movies where if you're hearing all those 510 00:23:06,224 --> 00:23:08,144 Speaker 2: musician names, you don't know the back story, Like it 511 00:23:08,224 --> 00:23:11,184 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. That movie would just stand like it was fictionalized, 512 00:23:11,184 --> 00:23:12,664 Speaker 2: it would standalone as a great movie. 513 00:23:12,704 --> 00:23:15,224 Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen it, go watch it. So 514 00:23:15,304 --> 00:23:18,104 Speaker 1: good tell us how good it is, because it's great. 515 00:23:18,424 --> 00:23:19,944 Speaker 2: Can I and I we're only doing two each, Can 516 00:23:19,984 --> 00:23:22,144 Speaker 2: I sneak one mind? Because I have an honorable mention? 517 00:23:22,744 --> 00:23:24,464 Speaker 2: And the only reason this wasn't at the top of 518 00:23:24,464 --> 00:23:27,184 Speaker 2: my list is that it is not exactly a biopic 519 00:23:27,184 --> 00:23:30,984 Speaker 2: because it's too fictionalized to fall into that. But it 520 00:23:31,024 --> 00:23:35,104 Speaker 2: is inspired by one of my favorite musicians of all time, 521 00:23:35,624 --> 00:23:40,584 Speaker 2: Marshall Mathers aaka eminem eight Mile. Eight Mile came out 522 00:23:40,584 --> 00:23:42,784 Speaker 2: in two thousand and three Freaking Change My Life I 523 00:23:42,824 --> 00:23:44,664 Speaker 2: mean I was already a huge eminem fan, so like 524 00:23:44,704 --> 00:23:46,824 Speaker 2: my friends and I went on the Saturday was release 525 00:23:47,344 --> 00:23:49,064 Speaker 2: and I remember I wore a pink dress with like 526 00:23:49,104 --> 00:23:51,544 Speaker 2: a pink peasant dress that I bought from Sports because 527 00:23:51,624 --> 00:23:54,224 Speaker 2: like fifteen, and I walked into Cinereia was like, I'm 528 00:23:54,304 --> 00:23:56,784 Speaker 2: dressed incorrectly, but just thinking that was like, I remember 529 00:23:56,824 --> 00:24:00,384 Speaker 2: that being one of the pivotal cinema experiences of my 530 00:24:00,744 --> 00:24:03,344 Speaker 2: adolescent years and what made me love film and made 531 00:24:03,384 --> 00:24:05,464 Speaker 2: me love him even more if you haven't seen it, 532 00:24:05,504 --> 00:24:08,144 Speaker 2: he's a great actor.

Watch that great biopic. It's 580 00:26:24,144 --> 00:26:26,064 Speaker 2: just a bit more fictionalized than the others, so I 581 00:26:26,064 --> 00:26:26,784 Speaker 2: didn't include it. 582 00:26:26,784 --> 00:26:29,344 Speaker 1: But then you know that plays Eminem, which I think 583 00:26:29,424 --> 00:26:30,304 Speaker 1: is brilliant. 584 00:26:30,424 --> 00:26:34,144 Speaker 2: Yeah. 585 00:26:35,424 --> 00:26:39,064 Speaker 1: The weekend watch It is week and watch time where 586 00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:41,824 Speaker 1: we give you our favorite movies and TV shows that 587 00:26:41,864 --> 00:26:43,504 Speaker 1: have come out this week, so you can watch it 588 00:26:43,544 --> 00:26:46,224 Speaker 1: over the weekend and tell us how great our suggestions. 589 00:26:46,424 --> 00:26:49,184 Speaker 1: Can I go first with this?

Yeah, that 671 00:31:01,344 --> 00:31:02,104 Speaker 1: movie is scary. 672 00:31:02,944 --> 00:31:04,984 Speaker 2: It's okay, I know, shouldn't speak his name because he's 673 00:31:04,984 --> 00:31:07,504 Speaker 2: been disgraced, but it's like made with Joss Whedon and 674 00:31:07,544 --> 00:31:09,944 Speaker 2: the guy who worked on Buffy all my favorite things. Also, 675 00:31:09,984 --> 00:31:12,904 Speaker 2: it's in edible movie and TV show is very different 676 00:31:12,904 --> 00:31:16,984 Speaker 2: to that. So Caitlyn Olsen plays Morgan. She's a single 677 00:31:17,024 --> 00:31:20,064 Speaker 2: mother of three. She's working as a professional cleaner. She's 678 00:31:20,064 --> 00:31:22,504 Speaker 2: also got a genius level IQ and there's also you know, 679 00:31:22,664 --> 00:31:25,504 Speaker 2: just really smart sees things that other people don't. This 680 00:31:25,544 --> 00:31:27,464 Speaker 2: is a real trope, but it works well here, like 681 00:31:27,504 --> 00:31:30,064 Speaker 2: it's been used a thousand times before. So she works 682 00:31:30,104 --> 00:31:31,824 Speaker 2: as a cleaner and one night she goes to work 683 00:31:31,864 --> 00:31:35,344 Speaker 2: cleaning a homicide unit office. And while she's there, I mean, 684 00:31:35,384 --> 00:31:36,904 Speaker 2: this is so stupid, but it works in the show, 685 00:31:37,144 --> 00:31:39,704 Speaker 2: she starts looking at like an overturned box of evidence 686 00:31:39,744 --> 00:31:41,904 Speaker 2: and a white ball with his evidence and photos, and 687 00:31:41,904 --> 00:31:44,584 Speaker 2: she conceal these things other people can't, so she starts 688 00:31:44,584 --> 00:31:47,984 Speaker 2: solving the crime. And when the police realize is this comedy, 689 00:31:48,464 --> 00:31:50,904 Speaker 2: it's both. It's like there's some comedic elements to it, 690 00:31:50,944 --> 00:31:52,624 Speaker 2: but there's also, you know, a bit of murder in there, 691 00:31:52,624 --> 00:31:53,704 Speaker 2: so it's you know what I mean, it's one of 692 00:31:53,704 --> 00:31:56,384 Speaker 2: those shows that kind of crosses genres, so it's not 693 00:31:56,424 --> 00:31:58,824 Speaker 2: like a graphic murder show or anything like that. So 694 00:31:58,984 --> 00:32:02,544 Speaker 2: she then joins the police department the Los Angeles. She 695 00:32:02,624 --> 00:32:06,304 Speaker 2: joins all Los Angeles Police Department's homicide division and helps 696 00:32:06,344 --> 00:32:07,824 Speaker 2: them solve crimes. 697 00:32:07,864 --> 00:32:08,864 Speaker 1: This sounds like Castle. 698 00:32:09,584 --> 00:32:13,024 Speaker 2: It's a bit like where he's a writer who goes 699 00:32:13,064 --> 00:32:14,864 Speaker 2: along with the police and helps them soul fr. 700 00:32:15,104 --> 00:32:17,224 Speaker 1: And that guy loves movies like that. Hey like shows 701 00:32:17,224 --> 00:32:18,824 Speaker 1: like that. Yes, now he's like in Rookie. 702 00:32:18,624 --> 00:32:22,064 Speaker 2: And also the star of Castle infamously in Buffy. Okay, 703 00:32:22,264 --> 00:32:26,304 Speaker 2: it's all so high. Potential is a fun time if 704 00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:29,464 Speaker 2: you like you know, shows about murder and mystery with 705 00:32:29,504 --> 00:32:31,784 Speaker 2: sharp writing. Again, it's not a completely new idea, but 706 00:32:31,784 --> 00:32:33,904 Speaker 2: it works really well here. So it's out on Disney 707 00:32:33,944 --> 00:32:37,144 Speaker 2: Plus this week.
