We'll unpack the data with Mumma 13 00:00:48,894 --> 00:00:51,934 Speaker 2: MEA's entertainment editor before we get to all of that. 14 00:00:52,014 --> 00:00:54,254 Speaker 2: He is Claire Murphy with the latest from the Quickie 15 00:00:54,254 --> 00:00:56,534 Speaker 2: newsroom for Monday, July twenty eight. 16 00:00:57,094 --> 00:01:00,534 Speaker 1: Thanks Taylor. Israel says it will hold military operations each 17 00:01:00,614 --> 00:01:03,334 Speaker 1: day for ten hours in parts of Gaza and allow 18 00:01:03,454 --> 00:01:07,054 Speaker 1: new aid corridors. Military activity will stop from ten am 19 00:01:07,094 --> 00:01:10,494 Speaker 1: to eight pm local time until further notice. In Almwasi, 20 00:01:10,814 --> 00:01:14,654 Speaker 1: a designated humanitarian area that stretches along the coast, The 21 00:01:14,654 --> 00:01:18,214 Speaker 1: military says designated secure roots for convoys delivering food and 22 00:01:18,294 --> 00:01:21,294 Speaker 1: medicine will also be in place between six am and 23 00:01:21,374 --> 00:01:25,094 Speaker 1: eleven pm from Sunday. Health officials say at least seventeen 24 00:01:25,134 --> 00:01:28,534 Speaker 1: people were killed and fifty wounded by Israeli fire while 25 00:01:28,614 --> 00:01:32,174 Speaker 1: waiting for aid trucks on Sunday. A spokesperson for Israel's 26 00:01:32,174 --> 00:01:35,054 Speaker 1: military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 27 00:01:35,454 --> 00:01:38,174 Speaker 1: The Gazan Health Ministry reported six new debts in the 28 00:01:38,174 --> 00:01:41,614 Speaker 1: past twenty four hours due to malnutrition, bringing the total 29 00:01:41,694 --> 00:01:44,214 Speaker 1: number of deaths from hunger to one hundred and thirty three, 30 00:01:44,614 --> 00:01:48,414 Speaker 1: including eighty seven children. The Egyptian Red Crescent says it's 31 00:01:48,454 --> 00:01:51,414 Speaker 1: sending more than one hundred trucks carrying twelve hundred metric 32 00:01:51,494 --> 00:01:54,414 Speaker 1: tons of food aid to southern Gaza through the Coremshalom 33 00:01:54,454 --> 00:01:58,094 Speaker 1: crossing ours. Earlier, Israel began aid air drops in what 34 00:01:58,134 --> 00:02:01,054 Speaker 1: it says as an effort to ease the humanitarian conditions 35 00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:05,054 Speaker 1: in the enclave. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi has described 36 00:02:05,054 --> 00:02:08,294 Speaker 1: his heartbreak at seeing starving people in the region, saying 37 00:02:08,494 --> 00:02:12,494 Speaker 1: Israel has quite clearly breached international law by limiting food 38 00:02:12,534 --> 00:02:16,254 Speaker 1: deliveries to starving civilians. The Prime Minister acknowledged that increased 39 00:02:16,254 --> 00:02:18,734 Speaker 1: air drops of aid by Israel was a start, but 40 00:02:18,814 --> 00:02:21,814 Speaker 1: said seeing the images of desperate families broke his heart, 41 00:02:22,134 --> 00:02:24,134 Speaker 1: saying a one year old boy is not a Hamas 42 00:02:24,134 --> 00:02:27,214 Speaker 1: fighter and the civilian casualties and debts in Gaza is 43 00:02:27,254 --> 00:02:33,414 Speaker 1: completely unacceptable. It's completely indefensible. Medicine Sons Frontier's Australia executive 44 00:02:33,454 --> 00:02:37,134 Speaker 1: director Jennifer Tini has urged Australians horrified by the scenes 45 00:02:37,134 --> 00:02:39,614 Speaker 1: in Gaza to get in touch with their MPs and 46 00:02:39,734 --> 00:02:43,134 Speaker 1: let their feelings be heard. Thousands of protesters turned out 47 00:02:43,174 --> 00:02:45,934 Speaker 1: in Sydney on Sunday to highlight the threat of mass starvation, 48 00:02:46,134 --> 00:02:49,374 Speaker 1: facing two million Gazans calling for the Australian government to 49 00:02:49,414 --> 00:02:52,654 Speaker 1: sanction Israel. A sequel to the two thousand and two 50 00:02:52,894 --> 00:02:56,214 Speaker 1: iconic movie Bendit Like Beckham is in the works. The film, 51 00:02:56,254 --> 00:02:59,654 Speaker 1: which starred Kira Knightley Palminda Nagra and Jonathan rhes Meyers, 52 00:03:00,054 --> 00:03:02,974 Speaker 1: is widely credited with inspiring a generation of women to 53 00:03:03,014 --> 00:03:06,734 Speaker 1: play soccer. Director Garinda Chada thinks now as the perfect 54 00:03:06,774 --> 00:03:09,534 Speaker 1: moment to launch a sequel, saying a lot has changed 55 00:03:09,734 --> 00:03:12,734 Speaker 1: since the original movie, but she thinks people still don't 56 00:03:12,774 --> 00:03:15,414 Speaker 1: think women should play football. She said there are people 57 00:03:15,414 --> 00:03:18,094 Speaker 1: who still don't take it seriously. Although the Lionesses are 58 00:03:18,134 --> 00:03:21,654 Speaker 1: riding high. The England women's soccer team has enjoyed significant 59 00:03:21,694 --> 00:03:24,654 Speaker 1: success in recent years and is currently preparing to take 60 00:03:24,654 --> 00:03:27,254 Speaker 1: on Spain in the final of Euro twenty twenty five. 61 00:03:28,134 --> 00:03:30,934 Speaker 1: The Aussie women's four by one hundred meter freestyle relay 62 00:03:30,974 --> 00:03:33,214 Speaker 1: team has pulled off a shock victory over the US 63 00:03:33,254 --> 00:03:37,174 Speaker 1: at the World Championships in Singapore. Moll O'Callahan, Meg Harris 64 00:03:37,174 --> 00:03:40,814 Speaker 1: and teenagers Miller Jansen and Olivia Wush entered Sunday Night's 65 00:03:40,854 --> 00:03:43,614 Speaker 1: final in Singapore with a nothing to lose approach against 66 00:03:43,654 --> 00:03:47,134 Speaker 1: hot favorites the US. The tactic worked with once reeling 67 00:03:47,134 --> 00:03:50,094 Speaker 1: an American Tory Husk in the final fifty meters to 68 00:03:50,174 --> 00:03:53,294 Speaker 1: produce a huge upset victory and a first gold medal 69 00:03:53,334 --> 00:03:56,454 Speaker 1: for Australia. At the twenty twenty five World Championships, the 70 00:03:56,494 --> 00:03:59,654 Speaker 1: Australian men were just as impressive, with the quartead of 71 00:03:59,694 --> 00:04:04,094 Speaker 1: Kyl Chalmers, Flint Southam Kaye Taylor and Maximilian Giuliani posting 72 00:04:04,134 --> 00:04:07,374 Speaker 1: a World Championship record time of three eight point ninety 73 00:04:07,454 --> 00:04:09,614 Speaker 1: seven to defeat Italy and the un. 74 00:04:10,254 --> 00:04:13,694 Speaker 2: Thanks Claire next, the long descent back home and why 75 00:04:13,734 --> 00:04:22,574 Speaker 2: it hits harder coming to Australia. If you've just landed 76 00:04:22,614 --> 00:04:27,094 Speaker 2: from a European summer, maybe Berlin, Barcelona or Rome. After 77 00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:30,094 Speaker 2: squeezing every last drop out of your trip, you might 78 00:04:30,134 --> 00:04:32,334 Speaker 2: now be staring down the barrel of a week where 79 00:04:32,414 --> 00:04:35,254 Speaker 2: two am feels like midday and your body has no 80 00:04:35,334 --> 00:04:39,654 Speaker 2: idea what's happening. There's a reason your jet lag is 81 00:04:39,694 --> 00:04:43,534 Speaker 2: always worse coming back to Australia, and science backs it up. 82 00:04:44,414 --> 00:04:49,054 Speaker 2: Researchers say flying east, like say, back to Australia, forces 83 00:04:49,094 --> 00:04:53,374 Speaker 2: your body to lose hours jumping ahead in time. This 84 00:04:53,414 --> 00:04:56,974 Speaker 2: goes against your natural circadian rhythms, which prefer to stretch 85 00:04:57,014 --> 00:05:00,214 Speaker 2: your day out, not shorten it. So when you're coming back, 86 00:05:00,254 --> 00:05:03,174 Speaker 2: your body is basically being forced to fall asleep earlier 87 00:05:03,214 --> 00:05:06,014 Speaker 2: than it wants to make it much harder to readjust 88 00:05:06,134 --> 00:05:08,934 Speaker 2: than when you flew the other way. For many, that 89 00:05:09,054 --> 00:05:11,854 Speaker 2: means day of waking up wide eyed far too early, 90 00:05:12,054 --> 00:05:15,534 Speaker 2: struggling to stay asleep, and an overwhelming sense of fatigue, 91 00:05:15,654 --> 00:05:19,454 Speaker 2: brain fog, even mood swings as your internal clock slowly 92 00:05:19,494 --> 00:05:22,854 Speaker 2: tries to catch up. So how can you speed up 93 00:05:22,854 --> 00:05:26,614 Speaker 2: the process and actually beat your jet lag. Start shifting 94 00:05:26,614 --> 00:05:29,734 Speaker 2: your schedule a few days before coming home, go to 95 00:05:29,774 --> 00:05:32,854 Speaker 2: bed and wake up closer to Aussie time. But let's 96 00:05:32,854 --> 00:05:35,334 Speaker 2: be real, who's going to bed at a respectable time 97 00:05:35,374 --> 00:05:37,974 Speaker 2: when you're on holiday or that gelato will not eat 98 00:05:37,974 --> 00:05:42,054 Speaker 2: itself after all, So maybe try these tips instead. Stay 99 00:05:42,134 --> 00:05:46,774 Speaker 2: hydrated in the air. Dehydration make symptoms worse. Get sunlight 100 00:05:46,854 --> 00:05:49,414 Speaker 2: as soon as you land. It's the number one way 101 00:05:49,454 --> 00:05:53,454 Speaker 2: to reset your body clock if you can avoid long 102 00:05:53,534 --> 00:05:56,414 Speaker 2: naps and hold out for bedtime in your new time zone, 103 00:05:56,654 --> 00:05:59,974 Speaker 2: even if it feels brutal. And of course, move your 104 00:05:59,974 --> 00:06:03,454 Speaker 2: body with gentle exercise and eat at local meal times, 105 00:06:03,534 --> 00:06:07,694 Speaker 2: which helps anchor your circadian rhythm. The good news, while 106 00:06:07,734 --> 00:06:10,494 Speaker 2: it can take up to a week to fully bounce back, 107 00:06:10,614 --> 00:06:13,614 Speaker 2: most people feel normal again after four or five nights 108 00:06:13,614 --> 00:06:16,854 Speaker 2: of decent sleep, So hang in there and scroll back 109 00:06:16,894 --> 00:06:22,894 Speaker 2: three camera roll to warmer, sunnier, more European times, from 110 00:06:22,894 --> 00:06:28,054 Speaker 2: Midia vacations to Midia entertainment reviews. Netflix just dropped its 111 00:06:28,134 --> 00:06:31,454 Speaker 2: most watch list for the halfway point of twenty twenty five. 112 00:06:32,534 --> 00:06:35,294 Speaker 2: In the first half of twenty twenty five, viewers clocked 113 00:06:35,374 --> 00:06:39,534 Speaker 2: up ninety five billion, yes, billion hours of watch time. 114 00:06:40,294 --> 00:06:43,774 Speaker 2: Top genres well pretty much everything, from UK and Korean 115 00:06:43,854 --> 00:06:47,894 Speaker 2: dramas to true crime, reality and global blockbusters. Here's some 116 00:06:47,974 --> 00:06:51,374 Speaker 2: quick highlights. The most watched series for the first half 117 00:06:51,414 --> 00:06:54,854 Speaker 2: of the year was Adolescents. The UK produced limited series 118 00:06:54,934 --> 00:06:58,494 Speaker 2: pulled in one hundred and forty five million views. We 119 00:06:58,534 --> 00:07:01,534 Speaker 2: actually dove deep into that show, including answering the big 120 00:07:01,654 --> 00:07:04,574 Speaker 2: questions that Adolescence does ask us, and I'll link it 121 00:07:04,614 --> 00:07:06,654 Speaker 2: in the show notes for you'll listen to after this. 122 00:07:07,774 --> 00:07:11,094 Speaker 2: Also making the top of the list is South Korean shows. 123 00:07:11,134 --> 00:07:14,414 Speaker 2: They had a massive run. Squid Game drew two hundred 124 00:07:14,414 --> 00:07:18,014 Speaker 2: and thirty one million views across three seasons, and its 125 00:07:18,054 --> 00:07:21,614 Speaker 2: final season became the third most watched program globally in 126 00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:24,054 Speaker 2: just four days. We like. 127 00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:29,974 Speaker 1: Headlight play three four eliminated. 128 00:07:30,454 --> 00:07:34,494 Speaker 2: Outside of TV, movies like this year's biggest action releases, 129 00:07:34,614 --> 00:07:39,694 Speaker 2: European thrillers and even festival darlings from Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Japan, 130 00:07:39,974 --> 00:07:45,054 Speaker 2: and India attracted worldwide audiences, showing that global stories are 131 00:07:45,094 --> 00:07:49,454 Speaker 2: as popular as ever. Netflix's new move into live WWE 132 00:07:49,494 --> 00:07:52,094 Speaker 2: wrestling also paid off, with more than two hundred and 133 00:07:52,174 --> 00:07:56,174 Speaker 2: eighty million hours watched for those events alone. Separate to 134 00:07:56,214 --> 00:07:59,654 Speaker 2: the list, there's another Netflix story bubbling away. Yes, we 135 00:07:59,734 --> 00:08:03,774 Speaker 2: are talking about Harry and Meghan. The Duke and Duchess 136 00:08:03,774 --> 00:08:06,934 Speaker 2: of Sussex, who signed that reported one hundred million dollar 137 00:08:07,014 --> 00:08:10,134 Speaker 2: Netflix deal back in twenty twenty, are officially up their 138 00:08:10,134 --> 00:08:14,414 Speaker 2: partnership with the streamer as their contract ends. Their docuseries 139 00:08:14,414 --> 00:08:17,254 Speaker 2: Harry and Meghan still holds Netflix record for the most 140 00:08:17,254 --> 00:08:20,814 Speaker 2: watched documentary debut, but it's now time for a new chapter. 141 00:08:21,454 --> 00:08:24,894 Speaker 2: Meghan's own lifestyle series with Love Meghan, launched in March 142 00:08:25,014 --> 00:08:27,854 Speaker 2: and quickly made the top ten in global rankings, with 143 00:08:27,934 --> 00:08:30,934 Speaker 2: over two point six million views and twelve point six 144 00:08:31,014 --> 00:08:33,254 Speaker 2: million hours watched in its first week. 145 00:08:34,414 --> 00:08:36,654 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone in the world knows that Megan 146 00:08:36,654 --> 00:08:39,494 Speaker 1: Markle has eaten Jack in the Box and loves it. 147 00:08:39,534 --> 00:08:41,534 Speaker 1: Funny too that you keep saying, Megan Markele, you know 148 00:08:41,574 --> 00:08:42,454 Speaker 1: I'm Sussex now. 149 00:08:43,614 --> 00:08:46,334 Speaker 2: She used the show's momentum to launch her lifestyle brand 150 00:08:46,414 --> 00:08:52,014 Speaker 2: as Ever, which saw several sellout releases and ongoing Netflix involvement. Now, 151 00:08:52,094 --> 00:08:55,014 Speaker 2: despite those hits, the Sussex's Netflix still will not be 152 00:08:55,094 --> 00:08:57,654 Speaker 2: renewed to learn more. We are joined by Muma MEA's 153 00:08:57,774 --> 00:09:01,414 Speaker 2: entertainment editor, Tina Burke TV. Let's start with the most 154 00:09:01,414 --> 00:09:04,294 Speaker 2: watched list was topped by Adolescents and then followed by 155 00:09:04,334 --> 00:09:07,614 Speaker 2: both season two and three of Squid Game. What was 156 00:09:07,654 --> 00:09:09,454 Speaker 2: your initial reaction to the list. 157 00:09:10,014 --> 00:09:12,814 Speaker 3: My initial reaction to the TV shows was like, well, duh, 158 00:09:12,814 --> 00:09:16,174 Speaker 3: of course good news, because Adolescence was a fantastic series. 159 00:09:16,214 --> 00:09:19,574 Speaker 3: Obviously from Stephen Graham. The UK audience would have known 160 00:09:19,574 --> 00:09:22,094 Speaker 3: what to expect from him, but globally people might not have. 161 00:09:22,294 --> 00:09:24,454 Speaker 3: And obviously it blew up. We all saw it, so 162 00:09:24,494 --> 00:09:26,014 Speaker 3: I expected to see it as number one, but it's 163 00:09:26,014 --> 00:09:28,374 Speaker 3: actually also like a really good show, which doesn't always 164 00:09:28,374 --> 00:09:30,974 Speaker 3: happen in these most watch lists. Same with Squid Game, 165 00:09:31,014 --> 00:09:33,454 Speaker 3: like renowned major series coming back to finish off, so 166 00:09:33,494 --> 00:09:34,854 Speaker 3: of course it was going to be up there. But 167 00:09:35,134 --> 00:09:37,254 Speaker 3: I definitely think looking at the list, I was like, oh, 168 00:09:37,374 --> 00:09:39,654 Speaker 3: the TV shows are of a much higher caliber than 169 00:09:39,734 --> 00:09:40,854 Speaker 3: some of these top movies. 170 00:09:41,294 --> 00:09:43,774 Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about that, because you've explained this to 171 00:09:43,814 --> 00:09:45,854 Speaker 2: me and I think that everybody else needs to get 172 00:09:45,854 --> 00:09:48,534 Speaker 2: on the same page. Can you impart that wisdom to 173 00:09:48,934 --> 00:09:53,654 Speaker 2: the listeners. There's this division amongst what Netflix makes TV 174 00:09:53,734 --> 00:09:57,334 Speaker 2: shows like Netflix Originals and then also Netflix Original movies. 175 00:09:57,894 --> 00:10:00,294 Speaker 2: Where have they landed in this list and what's the 176 00:10:00,454 --> 00:10:01,494 Speaker 2: thing to know about that? 177 00:10:02,774 --> 00:10:04,534 Speaker 3: I think what I noticed is say, like a lot 178 00:10:04,534 --> 00:10:07,534 Speaker 3: of the top films were crowd pleasers to some extent. 179 00:10:07,734 --> 00:10:09,654 Speaker 3: A lot of them had big names, but they were 180 00:10:09,654 --> 00:10:12,894 Speaker 3: not necessarily like a highbrow film or like film that's 181 00:10:12,894 --> 00:10:14,374 Speaker 3: critically acclaimed, Like that. 182 00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:18,094 Speaker 2: Number one film is Back in Action, which is Cameron Diaz, 183 00:10:18,254 --> 00:10:19,974 Speaker 2: which is nice to see her back on screens, but 184 00:10:20,054 --> 00:10:21,974 Speaker 2: also Jamie Fox too, Yeah. 185 00:10:21,734 --> 00:10:23,854 Speaker 3: And like that was fun, We had a good time, 186 00:10:23,894 --> 00:10:25,134 Speaker 3: but it's not the kind of movie you go back 187 00:10:25,174 --> 00:10:27,894 Speaker 3: and watch again. It's just kind of like an action comedy. 188 00:10:27,974 --> 00:10:30,254 Speaker 3: And elsewhere on that list was like The Life List, 189 00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:32,694 Speaker 3: which was a Sophia Carson basically a take on like 190 00:10:32,734 --> 00:10:35,814 Speaker 3: PS I Love You Like It was Hallmark style romance movie. 191 00:10:36,094 --> 00:10:38,494 Speaker 3: Other big films on there were all quite low on 192 00:10:38,574 --> 00:10:40,614 Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes when it comes to like the rating from 193 00:10:40,694 --> 00:10:42,934 Speaker 3: fans and critics alike, I'm not talking about things that 194 00:10:43,094 --> 00:10:45,614 Speaker 3: just critics hated. Fans were also just a bit disappointed 195 00:10:45,614 --> 00:10:47,854 Speaker 3: by a lot of those top most watch films, So 196 00:10:47,894 --> 00:10:50,334 Speaker 3: it's kind of like with the films. These things come out, 197 00:10:50,374 --> 00:10:52,654 Speaker 3: everyone watches them and you just go, Okay, that was 198 00:10:52,654 --> 00:10:54,734 Speaker 3: a Friday night. They're not being talked about, they're not 199 00:10:54,774 --> 00:10:56,414 Speaker 3: in the zeitgeist. They're not hitting the same way that 200 00:10:56,454 --> 00:10:59,094 Speaker 3: the TV shows are. Netflix doesn't really compete in the 201 00:10:59,094 --> 00:11:01,734 Speaker 3: film space the way that it does in the TV space. 202 00:11:01,734 --> 00:11:05,254 Speaker 3: But even still, there's such like massive scale of production 203 00:11:05,334 --> 00:11:08,214 Speaker 3: on these TV shows of how many they're releasing, how 204 00:11:08,254 --> 00:11:11,494 Speaker 3: many they're creating. So yeah, there's a few hits, there's adolescents. 205 00:11:11,534 --> 00:11:13,854 Speaker 3: You know, Four Seasons has really stood out, nobody wants 206 00:11:13,894 --> 00:11:16,414 Speaker 3: this was really big last year. But it's not the 207 00:11:16,454 --> 00:11:19,614 Speaker 3: same way that like Apple TV is consistently hitting, or 208 00:11:19,774 --> 00:11:21,414 Speaker 3: HBO Max is consistently hitting. 209 00:11:21,494 --> 00:11:23,734 Speaker 2: It's not even a high brow, lowbrow thing like they do. 210 00:11:23,774 --> 00:11:25,854 Speaker 2: Just feel like there is more gravity and weight to 211 00:11:25,934 --> 00:11:28,374 Speaker 2: those streaming original series. Yeah. 212 00:11:28,374 --> 00:11:30,654 Speaker 3: Absolutely. The thing that I found interesting was that a 213 00:11:30,694 --> 00:11:33,614 Speaker 3: high majority of them were not American productions, So there 214 00:11:33,654 --> 00:11:35,574 Speaker 3: was a lot from the UK, a lot from South Korea, 215 00:11:35,574 --> 00:11:37,774 Speaker 3: a lot from Scandinavia. So it was actually like the 216 00:11:37,814 --> 00:11:41,014 Speaker 3: global offerings that were better, in higher quality and more watched. 217 00:11:41,454 --> 00:11:43,814 Speaker 2: Okay, so given your explanation than I should not be 218 00:11:43,974 --> 00:11:46,854 Speaker 2: surprised that Vince Vaughn's non As was number thirteen of 219 00:11:46,854 --> 00:11:48,374 Speaker 2: the most watched films on Netflix. 220 00:11:48,814 --> 00:11:52,454 Speaker 3: It's like they're just mass producing these easy, digestible things 221 00:11:52,494 --> 00:11:54,774 Speaker 3: to watch, and then something amazing you just see further 222 00:11:54,814 --> 00:11:56,174 Speaker 3: down in the list and you're like, oh, that didn't 223 00:11:56,174 --> 00:11:58,854 Speaker 3: make the cut. Oh okay. All the people just want 224 00:11:58,894 --> 00:12:01,294 Speaker 3: to see Susan Saranda and Vince Vaughn like make a pasta, 225 00:12:01,374 --> 00:12:02,054 Speaker 3: and I get. 226 00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:04,774 Speaker 2: That sometimes, given the current climate of the world, that 227 00:12:04,934 --> 00:12:07,454 Speaker 2: is all you need to watch. Would there any surprises 228 00:12:07,534 --> 00:12:09,534 Speaker 2: on this list be were there things that you were like, Oh, 229 00:12:09,694 --> 00:12:11,774 Speaker 2: I'm really glad to see that so high up in 230 00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:13,654 Speaker 2: the list, or that should have been higher up in 231 00:12:13,694 --> 00:12:14,094 Speaker 2: the list. 232 00:12:14,574 --> 00:12:17,134 Speaker 3: I think North of North was a really great production 233 00:12:17,214 --> 00:12:19,214 Speaker 3: this year that I wish more people watched. That was 234 00:12:19,334 --> 00:12:21,454 Speaker 3: not as high as I would have liked. Four Seasons 235 00:12:21,494 --> 00:12:23,494 Speaker 3: was about where I expected to be, but it was 236 00:12:23,574 --> 00:12:26,454 Speaker 3: really great. Forever, which was like an adaptation of Judy 237 00:12:26,494 --> 00:12:29,294 Speaker 3: Bloom that was really fantastic. Everyone here loved it. Would 238 00:12:29,294 --> 00:12:30,574 Speaker 3: have loved to see that as one of the top 239 00:12:30,614 --> 00:12:33,934 Speaker 3: top shows. Untamed Eric Banner's new show has only just dropped, 240 00:12:33,974 --> 00:12:35,094 Speaker 3: so there was no way it was going to hit 241 00:12:35,134 --> 00:12:36,854 Speaker 3: in there. But I would love to see that hitting 242 00:12:36,854 --> 00:12:38,334 Speaker 3: those marks in the second half of the year. 243 00:12:38,734 --> 00:12:42,254 Speaker 2: And in terms of this kind of a list being 244 00:12:42,454 --> 00:12:45,294 Speaker 2: a good indicator of awards season that's coming up, people 245 00:12:45,374 --> 00:12:47,734 Speaker 2: from the moment that Adolescent drop had picked that as 246 00:12:47,774 --> 00:12:49,574 Speaker 2: that's gonna win all the awards this season. Is there 247 00:12:49,614 --> 00:12:51,814 Speaker 2: anything else in this list that maybe will get a 248 00:12:51,854 --> 00:12:54,134 Speaker 2: look in Do you think the four seasons? 249 00:12:54,374 --> 00:12:58,014 Speaker 3: Maybe like a Common Domingo noment the Golden Globes next year? Possibly, 250 00:12:58,174 --> 00:12:59,774 Speaker 3: But there's not a lot of these shows that you 251 00:12:59,814 --> 00:13:02,494 Speaker 3: see and you go, yeah, the caliber of everything was amazing. 252 00:13:02,654 --> 00:13:05,534 Speaker 3: There's a lot of misses in this top list. Hopefully 253 00:13:05,534 --> 00:13:07,814 Speaker 3: some nominations for Squid Game. That would be nice, I 254 00:13:07,814 --> 00:13:09,574 Speaker 3: think obviously, kind of in the same way that we 255 00:13:09,614 --> 00:13:12,094 Speaker 3: saw Baby Reindeer really take off on Netflix last year 256 00:13:12,094 --> 00:13:14,054 Speaker 3: and then win really big this year at all of 257 00:13:14,054 --> 00:13:17,334 Speaker 3: the Globes everything. We'd like to see the same for Adolescents, obviously, 258 00:13:17,334 --> 00:13:19,054 Speaker 3: because that was just such a big hitter and the 259 00:13:19,054 --> 00:13:21,734 Speaker 3: cast were fantastic and even the production too, so that 260 00:13:21,774 --> 00:13:24,134 Speaker 3: would be great. Same with Squid Game. Really good performances 261 00:13:24,134 --> 00:13:26,174 Speaker 3: in there, even if some people didn't think the season 262 00:13:26,174 --> 00:13:26,894 Speaker 3: held up as well. 263 00:13:27,174 --> 00:13:29,934 Speaker 2: Let's just turn focus to a bit of a different 264 00:13:29,974 --> 00:13:31,934 Speaker 2: Netflix story. I want to talk about Harry and Meghan. 265 00:13:32,414 --> 00:13:34,814 Speaker 2: There have been all of these headlines that they've been 266 00:13:34,894 --> 00:13:38,494 Speaker 2: dumped by Netflix, they've scrapped their deal. That's actually not 267 00:13:38,614 --> 00:13:42,654 Speaker 2: quite the case. So Netflix had this big, massive deal 268 00:13:42,694 --> 00:13:46,854 Speaker 2: with them, it's just not been renewed. The contract has ended. However, 269 00:13:47,174 --> 00:13:49,494 Speaker 2: we are still actually gonna see Meghan on our screens 270 00:13:49,534 --> 00:13:50,534 Speaker 2: again pretty soon. 271 00:13:51,014 --> 00:13:53,574 Speaker 3: Yes, so everyone was kind of like they've been fired, 272 00:13:53,614 --> 00:13:56,054 Speaker 3: and it's like no, actually, the contract just won't be renewed. 273 00:13:56,134 --> 00:13:59,654 Speaker 3: It was expiring in September anyway, rumored to be like 274 00:13:59,774 --> 00:14:03,174 Speaker 3: US one hundred million. This contract for two seasons of 275 00:14:03,174 --> 00:14:06,054 Speaker 3: With Love Megan, so pretty solid numbers there, and they 276 00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:08,654 Speaker 3: filmed both seasons of With Love Megan back to back, 277 00:14:08,694 --> 00:14:10,374 Speaker 3: so when the first one ended, they announced the second 278 00:14:10,414 --> 00:14:13,694 Speaker 3: one would be coming. And Megan is actually a producer 279 00:14:13,734 --> 00:14:15,494 Speaker 3: as well, so she kind of controls how this next 280 00:14:15,534 --> 00:14:18,374 Speaker 3: season will look. Even though she's had the contract expire, 281 00:14:18,454 --> 00:14:19,934 Speaker 3: she still gets to be in charge of how this 282 00:14:20,014 --> 00:14:22,054 Speaker 3: is gonna look and feel. So she's actually made out 283 00:14:22,054 --> 00:14:24,174 Speaker 3: pretty well here because they've gotten a lot of money 284 00:14:24,174 --> 00:14:25,854 Speaker 3: for her to stand in a kitchen and make some 285 00:14:25,934 --> 00:14:28,174 Speaker 3: nice jams and hang out with Mindy Kayling like that's 286 00:14:28,214 --> 00:14:31,694 Speaker 3: a nice Friday. And then they're still allegedly in conversations 287 00:14:31,774 --> 00:14:34,334 Speaker 3: with Netflix about maybe something else in the future. So 288 00:14:34,414 --> 00:14:36,294 Speaker 3: it's not quite as dramatic as everyone makes it seem, 289 00:14:36,374 --> 00:14:38,934 Speaker 3: but people were surprised that her show didn't rate as 290 00:14:39,014 --> 00:14:40,094 Speaker 3: highly as we expected. 291 00:14:42,254 --> 00:14:44,374 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking some time to feed your mind with 292 00:14:44,454 --> 00:14:47,094 Speaker 2: us today. The Quickie is produced by me Table Strano 293 00:14:47,174 --> 00:14:50,054 Speaker 2: and Claire Murphy, with audio production by Lou Hill.
