It's 25 00:01:28,424 --> 00:01:32,224 Speaker 2: a drama series about three mothers who were involved in 26 00:01:32,304 --> 00:01:36,224 Speaker 2: the corby toxic wastecase, then drink, then smoke. 27 00:01:37,304 --> 00:01:39,744 Speaker 1: Sometimes children are just born different. 28 00:01:40,464 --> 00:01:42,144 Speaker 2: We will build a town for the people of car 29 00:01:42,184 --> 00:01:45,904 Speaker 2: people on the back of our rapid reclamation of the steelworks. 30 00:01:47,144 --> 00:01:48,344 Speaker 2: These are serious bridges. 31 00:01:48,784 --> 00:01:52,304 Speaker 1: What's more important progress on the mess. 32 00:01:53,424 --> 00:01:56,064 Speaker 2: That is four of us, or with the same thing 33 00:01:56,184 --> 00:01:57,064 Speaker 2: at the same time. 34 00:01:58,064 --> 00:02:01,224 Speaker 1: I think there's more of us.

That is 42 00:02:21,064 --> 00:02:25,664 Speaker 2: what mothers do. We gleam ourselves. Tell them what they 43 00:02:25,664 --> 00:02:30,504 Speaker 2: did to you, what they did to your kids. You 44 00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:34,184 Speaker 2: tell them the truth. I don't know if you've heard 45 00:02:34,224 --> 00:02:36,344 Speaker 2: of this, but what drew me to the show was 46 00:02:36,384 --> 00:02:40,184 Speaker 2: because this was something that my mum was very invested in. 47 00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:44,944 Speaker 2: So in twenty nineteen, the borough called Corby Council was 48 00:02:45,024 --> 00:02:48,224 Speaker 2: liable for the bird defects caused by toxic waste in 49 00:02:48,304 --> 00:02:51,064 Speaker 2: the air, and it was the first time in history 50 00:02:51,224 --> 00:02:55,024 Speaker 2: that this case went through that atmospheric toxic waste was 51 00:02:55,104 --> 00:02:58,864 Speaker 2: legally linked to birth defects. So this whole thing happened 52 00:02:58,864 --> 00:03:02,024 Speaker 2: between nineteen eighty four and nineteen ninety nine, and the 53 00:03:02,064 --> 00:03:04,384 Speaker 2: series kind of goes through that, plus the case that 54 00:03:04,504 --> 00:03:07,984 Speaker 2: happened after where in the council they were transporting toxic 55 00:03:08,024 --> 00:03:11,064 Speaker 2: waste from an old steel work site through really populated 56 00:03:11,144 --> 00:03:14,584 Speaker 2: areas and through the cities. And the whole case is 57 00:03:14,624 --> 00:03:20,584 Speaker 2: about these eighteen like children. Essentially you had really serious disabilities, 58 00:03:20,704 --> 00:03:25,384 Speaker 2: including like missing or underdeveloped limbs, and these mums fighting 59 00:03:25,544 --> 00:03:28,304 Speaker 2: so hard for their children because they were so sure 60 00:03:28,384 --> 00:03:30,864 Speaker 2: that this had all happened when they were pregnant during 61 00:03:30,904 --> 00:03:34,144 Speaker 2: that whole toxic waste removal and the legal battle one 62 00:03:34,184 --> 00:03:37,264 Speaker 2: for ten years, so it was only sided with the 63 00:03:37,264 --> 00:03:40,744 Speaker 2: family side in two thousand and nine. And it's not 64 00:03:40,864 --> 00:03:43,984 Speaker 2: like a big depressing drama series, like the moms are 65 00:03:44,024 --> 00:03:47,024 Speaker 2: quite young, and they're funny, and they're just so passionate 66 00:03:47,064 --> 00:03:49,104 Speaker 2: and strong, and I think it's just one of those 67 00:03:49,144 --> 00:03:51,824 Speaker 2: things where it's like a drama series, but because it's 68 00:03:51,824 --> 00:03:54,224 Speaker 2: based on a true story, just feel it so much more. 69 00:03:54,904 --> 00:03:55,584 Speaker 2: So good. 70 00:03:55,824 --> 00:03:57,464 Speaker 1: Oh that sounds like it'll be like a bit of 71 00:03:57,464 --> 00:04:00,224 Speaker 1: a tough watch, right, but very satisfying. 72 00:03:59,624 --> 00:04:02,904 Speaker 2: To very satisfying to watch. Oh so good. 73 00:04:03,784 --> 00:04:04,504 Speaker 1: I'm so mad. 74 00:04:04,584 --> 00:04:06,384 Speaker 2: I haven't seen an episode of the show you're about 75 00:04:06,384 --> 00:04:07,864 Speaker 2: to talk about, but you know what, I'd give it 76 00:04:07,864 --> 00:04:08,064 Speaker 2: to me. 77 00:04:08,304 --> 00:04:10,424 Speaker 1: No, but what you should be doing right now is 78 00:04:10,424 --> 00:04:12,064 Speaker 1: clearing your weekend to watch this. 79 00:04:12,224 --> 00:04:15,104 Speaker 2: Can I just say all the checkboxes before we even 80 00:04:15,144 --> 00:04:17,424 Speaker 2: announced the show?

She's a queen. 126 00:06:19,024 --> 00:06:21,904 Speaker 1: We love her books, we love her TV shows, we 127 00:06:21,944 --> 00:06:26,024 Speaker 1: love her acting, we love her existence. Everything about this 128 00:06:26,064 --> 00:06:29,664 Speaker 1: woman fashion, yes, her fashion everything. This is her new 129 00:06:29,784 --> 00:06:33,664 Speaker 1: TV show on Netflix. It stars Kate Hudson, which I 130 00:06:33,744 --> 00:06:35,824 Speaker 1: really love because now she's got a big music career 131 00:06:35,864 --> 00:06:37,664 Speaker 1: and she's being a She always felt like she could 132 00:06:37,664 --> 00:06:39,304 Speaker 1: never be a singer, and now in her forties, she's 133 00:06:39,344 --> 00:06:42,144 Speaker 1: really pursuing that. But I also just love Mindy Kayling 134 00:06:42,144 --> 00:06:45,144 Speaker 1: bringing her in because Mindy Kayling is a die hard 135 00:06:45,304 --> 00:06:47,544 Speaker 1: rom com fan. That's the whole basis of the MINDI 136 00:06:47,584 --> 00:06:49,464 Speaker 1: Project is that she wanted to take all of these 137 00:06:49,544 --> 00:06:51,584 Speaker 1: rom coms that she grew up watching and put herself 138 00:06:51,624 --> 00:06:53,944 Speaker 1: in the center of it. And Kate Hudson for so 139 00:06:54,024 --> 00:06:56,784 Speaker 1: long was the rom com queen. That was her genre, 140 00:06:57,144 --> 00:06:59,064 Speaker 1: and so I love that she's kind of tapped her 141 00:06:59,064 --> 00:07:01,304 Speaker 1: from that genre and brought her over to this show 142 00:07:01,384 --> 00:07:03,224 Speaker 1: that's very much not a romantic. 143 00:07:03,064 --> 00:07:05,264 Speaker 2: I was gonna say. I read an interview with Kate 144 00:07:05,344 --> 00:07:07,864 Speaker 2: Hudson saying what drew her to this show in particular 145 00:07:08,064 --> 00:07:09,784 Speaker 2: was that there's no romantic plot line. 146 00:07:09,904 --> 00:07:12,784 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no romantic popline. A few times you'll think 147 00:07:12,824 --> 00:07:14,904 Speaker 1: it's happening, but it's not there. But it doesn't feel 148 00:07:14,944 --> 00:07:19,464 Speaker 1: disappointing because you're so invested in everything else about her 149 00:07:19,584 --> 00:07:23,864 Speaker 1: so jealous. You can watch it. It's on Netflix now, 150 00:07:24,464 --> 00:07:25,264 Speaker 1: have a special screen. 151 00:07:26,024 --> 00:07:27,184 Speaker 2: I just want to leave right now. 152 00:07:27,224 --> 00:07:29,944 Speaker 1: Can I just tell you who she created this show with. Well, 153 00:07:29,984 --> 00:07:31,904 Speaker 1: she created with Alene Co, who she's worked with before, 154 00:07:31,944 --> 00:07:36,144 Speaker 1: but the other creator and co showrunner is at Baron 155 00:07:36,184 --> 00:07:38,784 Speaker 1: Holtz No from the MINDI Projects. 156 00:07:38,864 --> 00:07:42,784 Speaker 2: He's really close friends as well. And he's so funny. 157 00:07:42,704 --> 00:07:46,024 Speaker 1: Like Morgan on The MINDI Project, it's so good. Emily's 158 00:07:46,104 --> 00:07:47,824 Speaker 1: soul has left her body. 159 00:07:48,024 --> 00:07:50,864 Speaker 2: He's so funny.

So it's 175 00:08:26,944 --> 00:08:29,384 Speaker 1: her and she's got three brothers and. 176 00:08:29,704 --> 00:08:31,704 Speaker 2: The it feels like succession but comedy. 177 00:08:31,984 --> 00:08:34,664 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, it's very much succession. But if it's like 178 00:08:34,744 --> 00:08:38,344 Speaker 1: a crazy kind of comedy family who actually do like 179 00:08:38,384 --> 00:08:39,904 Speaker 1: each other at the end of the day for the 180 00:08:39,944 --> 00:08:43,424 Speaker 1: most part. So she's the only girl in the family. 181 00:08:43,464 --> 00:08:45,264 Speaker 1: Her dad's passed away when the show starts, and he 182 00:08:45,344 --> 00:08:47,864 Speaker 1: owned the basketball team in the league and all that 183 00:08:47,904 --> 00:08:49,904 Speaker 1: sort of stuff that has passed it down to his children. 184 00:08:50,144 --> 00:08:52,184 Speaker 2: But she can I ask a question, sure, because I 185 00:08:52,224 --> 00:08:55,704 Speaker 2: just remembered from the trailer Chet Hanks. 186 00:08:55,544 --> 00:08:57,864 Speaker 1: In this Yes he is. He does have a role 187 00:08:58,144 --> 00:08:59,784 Speaker 1: because when you're looking for someone to be in your 188 00:08:59,784 --> 00:09:04,984 Speaker 1: TV show, you tap Chet Hanks, Tom, not even Colin. No, Chet, 189 00:09:05,344 --> 00:09:07,544 Speaker 1: she knew what she was doing. Now the TV show 190 00:09:07,704 --> 00:09:10,584 Speaker 1: is Kate Hudson's character Isila Gordon. She is of this 191 00:09:10,584 --> 00:09:12,824 Speaker 1: big basketball family, the only girl of the family. So 192 00:09:12,864 --> 00:09:14,464 Speaker 1: when she was a kid, she was so invested in 193 00:09:14,504 --> 00:09:17,024 Speaker 1: basketball and she had all these ideas and her dad 194 00:09:17,144 --> 00:09:19,104 Speaker 1: was very old school. Well she's a bit different to 195 00:09:19,104 --> 00:09:20,584 Speaker 1: you because she knows a lot about basketball. I know 196 00:09:20,624 --> 00:09:22,944 Speaker 1: a lot about bust and then I'm skating right past that. 197 00:09:23,304 --> 00:09:24,744 Speaker 1: But then her dad was always like no, no, it's 198 00:09:24,784 --> 00:09:26,264 Speaker 1: like for the boys, the men of the family. So 199 00:09:26,344 --> 00:09:28,824 Speaker 1: she was this wild party girl. So her older brother 200 00:09:29,064 --> 00:09:32,424 Speaker 1: has a drug problem, crashes his car and then names 201 00:09:32,464 --> 00:09:35,504 Speaker 1: her to come and be in charge of the basketball 202 00:09:35,504 --> 00:09:37,584 Speaker 1: team and the family company and all that sort of stuff, 203 00:09:37,584 --> 00:09:39,864 Speaker 1: which puts everyone's noses out of joint, including her two 204 00:09:39,904 --> 00:09:41,984 Speaker 1: other brothers who work there. So it's kind of a 205 00:09:41,984 --> 00:09:43,904 Speaker 1: fish out of water. I like no one believes her 206 00:09:44,304 --> 00:09:47,344 Speaker 1: and she has to run this basketball team and turn 207 00:09:47,384 --> 00:09:47,704 Speaker 1: it around. 208 00:09:47,704 --> 00:09:50,344 Speaker 2: Because it feels very like ted Lasso. 209 00:09:51,824 --> 00:09:54,944 Speaker 1: But like with really sharp comedy writing. So the writing 210 00:09:54,984 --> 00:09:58,544 Speaker 1: in this is so it's classic Mindy Kayley, Like if 211 00:09:58,544 --> 00:10:01,344 Speaker 1: you love that sort of very smart, quippy writing. 212 00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:03,864 Speaker 2: When you only kind of like realize what's happening, that 213 00:10:03,984 --> 00:10:06,104 Speaker 2: whole pop culture references just lit it in. 214 00:10:06,264 --> 00:10:07,864 Speaker 1: They come so hard and fast you have to think 215 00:10:07,904 --> 00:10:10,224 Speaker 1: about them later on. Like in one scene, she's like 216 00:10:10,544 --> 00:10:11,344 Speaker 1: trying to get a sponsor. 217 00:10:11,544 --> 00:10:12,424 Speaker 2: She's like, you know, our. 218 00:10:12,344 --> 00:10:14,904 Speaker 1: Players, like maybe one of them will datea Kardashian, and 219 00:10:14,944 --> 00:10:17,144 Speaker 1: the woman's sephora is like, could we get a Jenna 220 00:10:17,504 --> 00:10:21,264 Speaker 1: like little things, and one day she's like raging. It's 221 00:10:21,304 --> 00:10:23,464 Speaker 1: like everyone's calling you a Neppo baby. Actually they're calling 222 00:10:23,504 --> 00:10:25,864 Speaker 1: you a nippochrone because she's like old and stuff. It's 223 00:10:25,944 --> 00:10:28,104 Speaker 1: quite funny. They also found out they have a secret 224 00:10:28,384 --> 00:10:31,024 Speaker 1: heart brother they never knew who comes into the story, 225 00:10:31,424 --> 00:10:33,864 Speaker 1: and it's just really great. It's really funny. 226 00:10:33,944 --> 00:10:34,744 Speaker 2: Brenda songs in it. 227 00:10:35,104 --> 00:10:36,784 Speaker 1: I was, oh my mo, I'm getting to brench a song. 228 00:10:37,264 --> 00:10:39,784 Speaker 1: She is the breakout star. It's like I always knew 229 00:10:39,864 --> 00:10:42,144 Speaker 1: she was great. She's like the chief of staff Allie, 230 00:10:42,144 --> 00:10:45,544 Speaker 1: who's also AILA's like best friend, and she has the 231 00:10:45,544 --> 00:10:47,864 Speaker 1: best one line is she has all the best moments. 232 00:10:47,864 --> 00:10:50,624 Speaker 1: She is such a scene stealer in this that I'm 233 00:10:50,664 --> 00:10:52,544 Speaker 1: so glad that Mindy Kaylee wrote that. I know she's 234 00:10:52,544 --> 00:10:54,624 Speaker 1: done a lot of great things, and she's been especially 235 00:10:54,624 --> 00:10:56,584 Speaker 1: like a lot of good movies lately, but I just think, 236 00:10:56,664 --> 00:10:58,944 Speaker 1: like a comedy part on this level, with that level 237 00:10:58,944 --> 00:11:01,424 Speaker 1: of dialogue, I haven't seen from her before, and she's 238 00:11:01,464 --> 00:11:04,984 Speaker 1: so good at it in it. No, sorry, you know 239 00:11:05,064 --> 00:11:07,824 Speaker 1: she doesn't. She's not in stuff anymore. She doesn't write 240 00:11:07,864 --> 00:11:10,904 Speaker 1: anything for herself. She's held very much phim scenes. But 241 00:11:10,944 --> 00:11:13,304 Speaker 1: it's really Kate Hudson's show. And also just watching it, 242 00:11:13,344 --> 00:11:15,664 Speaker 1: I was like, God, Kate Hudson can just lead a show. 243 00:11:15,944 --> 00:11:18,984 Speaker 1: She's in a movie like she's just so everything about 244 00:11:19,024 --> 00:11:21,064 Speaker 1: like her character, like the equips. But there's a lot 245 00:11:21,104 --> 00:11:23,504 Speaker 1: of emotion to it. It's just really smart. I will 246 00:11:23,544 --> 00:11:26,664 Speaker 1: just say one word of warning, the pilot's not great. 247 00:11:26,984 --> 00:11:28,624 Speaker 1: Just have to say. And a lot of people I 248 00:11:28,704 --> 00:11:34,264 Speaker 1: know who also like me had it's not bad, Like 249 00:11:34,264 --> 00:11:36,704 Speaker 1: it's not terrible. It's just like, I think the hype 250 00:11:36,744 --> 00:11:38,584 Speaker 1: for this show is so big and you've got like 251 00:11:38,624 --> 00:11:40,464 Speaker 1: all these big names making it and all these big 252 00:11:40,584 --> 00:11:43,264 Speaker 1: names in the cast, and there's so much hype to it, 253 00:11:43,624 --> 00:11:45,664 Speaker 1: and what it is is that it just feels like 254 00:11:45,664 --> 00:11:49,584 Speaker 1: a little schlocky and overdone because you're meeting Kate Hudson's 255 00:11:49,624 --> 00:11:51,744 Speaker 1: character Eila, and there's so many people in to do 256 00:11:51,784 --> 00:11:54,304 Speaker 1: a lot of backstory, her different family members, the people 257 00:11:54,384 --> 00:11:57,944 Speaker 1: she works with, who everyone is, her backstory. They get 258 00:11:57,984 --> 00:12:00,304 Speaker 1: through all of that in like the first fifteen minutes, 259 00:12:00,344 --> 00:12:03,064 Speaker 1: and so it's done with this voiceover and this text 260 00:12:03,144 --> 00:12:05,144 Speaker 1: that like pops up on the screen. So it's like 261 00:12:05,184 --> 00:12:07,264 Speaker 1: that's my little brother, like he does this, and like 262 00:12:07,344 --> 00:12:09,024 Speaker 1: this is Alie she runs. 263 00:12:09,224 --> 00:12:12,664 Speaker 2: It's like, you know, yeah, it. 264 00:12:12,664 --> 00:12:15,104 Speaker 1: Just like kind of feels like a bimmy, gimmicky high 265 00:12:15,144 --> 00:12:17,264 Speaker 1: school kind of shit. I don't know if there was 266 00:12:17,304 --> 00:12:19,504 Speaker 1: a way around it, though, Like there's so many characters 267 00:12:19,544 --> 00:12:21,784 Speaker 1: that they want to introduce really quickly, give you everyone's 268 00:12:21,824 --> 00:12:25,064 Speaker 1: backstory really quickly, and they just choose to sort of 269 00:12:25,104 --> 00:12:27,064 Speaker 1: say like, here's all the information. We're got to write 270 00:12:27,064 --> 00:12:29,064 Speaker 1: it on the screen for you, and she's going to 271 00:12:29,104 --> 00:12:30,184 Speaker 1: tell you all and then we're going to move on 272 00:12:30,224 --> 00:12:32,424 Speaker 1: with the plot. So as I was watching and I 273 00:12:32,464 --> 00:12:33,584 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I don't know if I love this, 274 00:12:33,744 --> 00:12:35,624 Speaker 1: but I was obviously always going to give it a chance, 275 00:12:35,664 --> 00:12:38,184 Speaker 1: so I wasn't worried about not liking the first episode, 276 00:12:38,344 --> 00:12:39,984 Speaker 1: but I just wanted to give a word of warning 277 00:12:39,984 --> 00:12:41,824 Speaker 1: because a few people I know who have already watched 278 00:12:41,824 --> 00:12:45,064 Speaker 1: the first episode have been like, oh really, I only 279 00:12:45,064 --> 00:12:46,744 Speaker 1: turned it off. I like it. I was like, this 280 00:12:46,784 --> 00:12:48,944 Speaker 1: is silly, and so I'm just saying, if you have that, 281 00:12:49,064 --> 00:12:54,344 Speaker 1: just remember I'm getting personally, I just want to say, 282 00:12:54,824 --> 00:12:57,224 Speaker 1: just push through. It's not bad, but it's not going 283 00:12:57,264 --> 00:12:58,864 Speaker 1: to start off as the greatest thing ever. And they 284 00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:00,664 Speaker 1: just obviously made a decision that they wanted you to 285 00:13:00,664 --> 00:13:03,224 Speaker 1: have all that information. And then we get to the story, 286 00:13:03,264 --> 00:13:05,544 Speaker 1: and the story is so worth the payoff. So it's 287 00:13:05,704 --> 00:13:08,664 Speaker 1: running point. It's on Netflix. It's so good. 288 00:13:08,664 --> 00:13:11,464 Speaker 2: I can't all the episodes all at once. I know 289 00:13:11,464 --> 00:13:13,024 Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do for one whole day. 290 00:13:12,984 --> 00:13:15,064 Speaker 1: One hundred No, No, you're gonna watch this and you're 291 00:13:15,064 --> 00:13:16,624 Speaker 1: probably gonna watch it again because like, did this so 292 00:13:16,704 --> 00:13:18,664 Speaker 1: much happening, and then we'll talk about it again. 293 00:13:20,504 --> 00:13:22,704 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for listening to this episode.
