I know you've already 211 00:09:19,674 --> 00:09:21,794 Speaker 1: done that quite a bit. And the first few seasons 212 00:09:21,874 --> 00:09:23,953 Speaker 1: you push through. Then you're gonna get to season five 213 00:09:24,114 --> 00:09:26,234 Speaker 1: or six and you've got ten to go. That's when 214 00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:27,874 Speaker 1: you've got to take a little break. I'm waiting for the. 215 00:09:27,914 --> 00:09:30,674 Speaker 2: Lull because obviously everyone knows the first three seasons of 216 00:09:30,714 --> 00:09:32,994 Speaker 2: any show is like really good, and then like a 217 00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:35,514 Speaker 2: character has like a new arc, or something changes or 218 00:09:35,554 --> 00:09:37,034 Speaker 2: someone leaves, and then it goes through a bit of 219 00:09:37,074 --> 00:09:37,394 Speaker 2: a lull. 220 00:09:37,954 --> 00:09:39,714 Speaker 1: And I have a feeling that's coming up soon. Okay, 221 00:09:39,874 --> 00:09:42,314 Speaker 1: So if anyone of there wants to watch that, where 222 00:09:42,314 --> 00:09:42,914 Speaker 1: are you watching it? Oh? 223 00:09:42,954 --> 00:09:44,754 Speaker 2: Disney plus Disney, and you can also watch all the 224 00:09:44,914 --> 00:09:47,994 Speaker 2: other Chicago's Okay people, Wow, I was not expected that 225 00:09:47,994 --> 00:09:48,713 Speaker 2: at Tangent. 226 00:09:48,514 --> 00:09:51,634 Speaker 1: But it is, oh my god, blowing my mind, such 227 00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:56,074 Speaker 1: grad such good TV. Okay, changing tac to an Oscar 228 00:09:56,114 --> 00:09:58,914 Speaker 1: Award winning movie that came out last night in Australia. 229 00:09:58,994 --> 00:10:01,154 Speaker 1: So it came out obviously in Australia. We get everything late. 230 00:10:01,154 --> 00:10:03,554 Speaker 1: It's like we're in freaking Nannia. We can't get it together. 231 00:10:03,954 --> 00:10:05,594 Speaker 1: This movie has been out for a while and it's 232 00:10:05,634 --> 00:10:09,794 Speaker 1: been very, very buzzy. And that is how he's got 233 00:10:09,874 --> 00:10:12,634 Speaker 1: more inside of him than any man I've ever met. 234 00:10:12,874 --> 00:10:16,314 Speaker 1: Who are you looking for, William Shakespeare? I have no 235 00:10:16,554 --> 00:10:20,394 Speaker 1: talent to waiting, dear is to do? Haven't? I shall 236 00:10:20,434 --> 00:10:24,674 Speaker 1: be for the furtherest players he lives not. Oh my god, 237 00:10:24,714 --> 00:10:26,554 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to watch this. I'm so jealous. I 238 00:10:26,594 --> 00:10:28,514 Speaker 1: haven't watched it yet. I can't wait for you to 239 00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:31,274 Speaker 1: see it. But just Gerdia llowins because it's not an 240 00:10:31,314 --> 00:10:34,314 Speaker 1: easy watch. So it's obviously been very buzzy because award 241 00:10:34,354 --> 00:10:35,953 Speaker 1: season has kicked off in Hollywood. It's one of the 242 00:10:35,994 --> 00:10:39,354 Speaker 1: big frontrunners for award season. It's already won some Critics 243 00:10:39,474 --> 00:10:42,194 Speaker 1: Choice Awards and then it won Best Drama at the 244 00:10:42,234 --> 00:10:44,914 Speaker 1: Golden Globes and also Best Actress for Jesse Buckley and 245 00:10:45,034 --> 00:10:46,833 Speaker 1: at the Stage Jesse Buckley is pretty much a lock 246 00:10:46,914 --> 00:10:49,834 Speaker 1: to win Best Actress Oscar, which she very much deserves, 247 00:10:50,274 --> 00:10:52,514 Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna win a lot more awards as 248 00:10:52,554 --> 00:10:54,074 Speaker 1: we go through the season. So it's one of the 249 00:10:54,114 --> 00:10:56,114 Speaker 1: big buzzy movies. But I do think a lot of 250 00:10:56,154 --> 00:10:58,154 Speaker 1: people are very hesitant to see it now that it's 251 00:10:58,194 --> 00:11:01,474 Speaker 1: out in Australia because of the subject matter. So what 252 00:11:01,514 --> 00:11:03,034 Speaker 1: I'm like to say is not a spoiler because it's 253 00:11:03,034 --> 00:11:04,714 Speaker 1: based on a book, and it's also in the trailers 254 00:11:04,754 --> 00:11:06,514 Speaker 1: and like you're meant to go in knowing the premise 255 00:11:06,554 --> 00:11:09,274 Speaker 1: of the show, so I'll say so Hamnet. It's a 256 00:11:09,434 --> 00:11:13,954 Speaker 1: historical fictionalized drama and it's directed by Chloe Jao, who 257 00:11:14,154 --> 00:11:17,594 Speaker 1: is an OSCAR winner and an incredible filmmaker who wrote 258 00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:20,714 Speaker 1: the screenplay with Maggie O'Farrell, and the movie is based 259 00:11:20,754 --> 00:11:22,994 Speaker 1: on the book by Maggie O'Farrell of the same name. 260 00:11:23,434 --> 00:11:28,074 Speaker 1: So it's this fictionalized version of William Shakespeare and his 261 00:11:28,314 --> 00:11:31,274 Speaker 1: marriage to Anne Hathaway, who's called Agnes in the film 262 00:11:31,314 --> 00:11:33,594 Speaker 1: by her family. Yeah, so not much is no one 263 00:11:33,594 --> 00:11:36,954 Speaker 1: about Shakespeare, Like obviously his work still famously very relevant, 264 00:11:37,274 --> 00:11:39,514 Speaker 1: still famously very talks about. Asked Taylor Swift, who was 265 00:11:39,594 --> 00:11:42,594 Speaker 1: like in her documentary for her latest album Just a 266 00:11:42,634 --> 00:11:45,234 Speaker 1: Little Piece to Camera where she's like, Shakespeare is actually 267 00:11:45,274 --> 00:11:48,594 Speaker 1: really good and everyone's like, yeah, so true. I mean 268 00:11:48,754 --> 00:11:50,754 Speaker 1: she where's the life. Yeah, that's so true. She was like, 269 00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:52,674 Speaker 1: the more you delve into it, the more interesting it is. 270 00:11:52,834 --> 00:11:55,514 Speaker 1: So very true. So things are not all about Shakespeare 271 00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,674 Speaker 1: in terms of like where he lived and timeframe, that 272 00:11:57,754 --> 00:12:00,434 Speaker 1: he was married to Anne Hathaway and that they had children. 273 00:12:00,514 --> 00:12:02,594 Speaker 1: But one thing that is no one that is on 274 00:12:02,714 --> 00:12:05,354 Speaker 1: record is that they had a son called Hamnet, who 275 00:12:05,434 --> 00:12:07,874 Speaker 1: very sadly passed away when he was about eleven years old, 276 00:12:08,554 --> 00:12:11,394 Speaker 1: that we know from records. And a few years after 277 00:12:11,474 --> 00:12:14,594 Speaker 1: that Shakespeare wrote one of his most famous plays called Hamlet, 278 00:12:15,074 --> 00:12:17,634 Speaker 1: and at the start of Hamnet the movie, a title 279 00:12:17,714 --> 00:12:19,834 Speaker 1: card comes up and kind of gives like a little 280 00:12:19,834 --> 00:12:22,154 Speaker 1: background on the time and place that the movie takes 281 00:12:22,554 --> 00:12:25,594 Speaker 1: place in, and it says that at that time Hamlet 282 00:12:25,714 --> 00:12:29,314 Speaker 1: and Hamnet were like interchangeable as a name, so it's 283 00:12:29,354 --> 00:12:31,634 Speaker 1: kind of like linking the two together. Okay. So in 284 00:12:31,754 --> 00:12:35,194 Speaker 1: this movie, which I must say is so beautiful to 285 00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:38,074 Speaker 1: look at, it starts off with the opening scene, this 286 00:12:38,514 --> 00:12:42,514 Speaker 1: beautiful forest in the English countryside, and Jesse Buckley, who 287 00:12:42,594 --> 00:12:45,194 Speaker 1: plays Agnes, is like curled up in a tree stunt 288 00:12:45,274 --> 00:12:47,674 Speaker 1: with moss in like this scarlet gown, and she just 289 00:12:47,714 --> 00:12:49,833 Speaker 1: looks like a dryad, like a forest fairy. And she 290 00:12:49,954 --> 00:12:53,674 Speaker 1: does have this kind of other worldly connection to the forest, 291 00:12:53,754 --> 00:12:55,314 Speaker 1: and she has a hawk that she can summon to 292 00:12:55,354 --> 00:12:58,194 Speaker 1: her arm. She's like this beautiful Wie Disney. Yes, very 293 00:12:58,354 --> 00:13:00,554 Speaker 1: like the beautiful wild girl. Everyone in the little town 294 00:13:00,634 --> 00:13:03,354 Speaker 1: they live in, like little community, is like that woman's crazy. 295 00:13:03,914 --> 00:13:06,434 Speaker 1: But someone who doesn't think she's crazy is William Shakespeare, 296 00:13:07,154 --> 00:13:11,034 Speaker 1: young Latin tutor in the area, played by Paul mescal who. Oh, 297 00:13:11,114 --> 00:13:13,713 Speaker 1: so he plays Shakes Shakespeare. Yeah, he says, yes, but 298 00:13:13,794 --> 00:13:15,953 Speaker 1: it's not his story. It's not Shakespeare's story because it 299 00:13:16,034 --> 00:13:18,754 Speaker 1: usually is Shakespeare's story, like a lot of stories and 300 00:13:18,834 --> 00:13:21,314 Speaker 1: plays and movies have been made about William Shakespeare in 301 00:13:21,394 --> 00:13:23,833 Speaker 1: his life, and this is much more looking at his 302 00:13:23,954 --> 00:13:27,074 Speaker 1: wife's story. So he sees her, falls in love with her. 303 00:13:27,354 --> 00:13:29,234 Speaker 1: At first, she's like, no, she's all coy and like 304 00:13:29,474 --> 00:13:31,994 Speaker 1: kind of like rejects his advances. But they fall madly 305 00:13:32,074 --> 00:13:35,434 Speaker 1: in love and their families are very against them getting married. 306 00:13:35,994 --> 00:13:38,674 Speaker 1: Her brother, played by Joe Alwin, Oh, yeah, I forgot 307 00:13:38,714 --> 00:13:41,034 Speaker 1: he's in the Yeah. Yeah, he doesn't want anyone to forget. 308 00:13:41,114 --> 00:13:43,154 Speaker 1: He was up on stage the gold goes look at me. 309 00:13:43,514 --> 00:13:45,594 Speaker 1: He's a tiny part, so don't go see the movie 310 00:13:45,634 --> 00:13:48,674 Speaker 1: for him, plays her brother, Bartholomew, and he's like, you 311 00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:50,874 Speaker 1: can't marry him. You can do better than a pasty 312 00:13:50,954 --> 00:13:54,994 Speaker 1: face scholar fair. And then Emily Watson plays William Shakes's mother. 313 00:13:55,154 --> 00:13:58,114 Speaker 1: I don't know. She's a star studed cast, like it's Oscar. 314 00:13:58,234 --> 00:14:00,554 Speaker 1: It's an Oscar movie. It's a star studded cast. Emily 315 00:14:00,594 --> 00:14:02,554 Speaker 1: Watson plays his mother and she's like, you can't marry her. 316 00:14:02,674 --> 00:14:04,874 Speaker 1: She's wild and crazy. And I also hear rumors that 317 00:14:04,914 --> 00:14:08,794 Speaker 1: she's the son of a wood witch. Enough, and this 318 00:14:08,914 --> 00:14:11,394 Speaker 1: is before social media, Yeah, exactly. The scandal could not 319 00:14:11,514 --> 00:14:13,754 Speaker 1: be more intense. It's like the Real Housewives of like 320 00:14:13,834 --> 00:14:17,514 Speaker 1: the Cotswolds something, the Real Housewives or The Forest, the Forest. 321 00:14:17,554 --> 00:14:19,314 Speaker 1: They're like, no, no, if she's an outcast. But anyway, 322 00:14:19,354 --> 00:14:21,634 Speaker 1: then they get pregnant, everyone's like, yep, get married. Absolutely, 323 00:14:22,234 --> 00:14:24,594 Speaker 1: So he was his own into for Romeo and Juliet 324 00:14:24,754 --> 00:14:27,074 Speaker 1: well potentially yes, yes, because they were not a match. 325 00:14:27,114 --> 00:14:28,394 Speaker 1: And then they fell in love anyway, so then he 326 00:14:28,474 --> 00:14:30,434 Speaker 1: kind of tracks their marriage and they have three children, 327 00:14:30,754 --> 00:14:33,394 Speaker 1: and Agnes always because she's had this premonition she's gonna 328 00:14:33,434 --> 00:14:34,994 Speaker 1: lose one of her children, so there's this kind of 329 00:14:35,034 --> 00:14:38,034 Speaker 1: thing hanging over them. And then also William Shakespeare is 330 00:14:38,074 --> 00:14:40,834 Speaker 1: not happy living in the countryside raising his family, even 331 00:14:40,834 --> 00:14:42,634 Speaker 1: though he like he loves his kids, they love him 332 00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:44,474 Speaker 1: as they get older, and like he and Agnes are 333 00:14:44,554 --> 00:14:45,954 Speaker 1: very much in love, but he just wants to be 334 00:14:45,994 --> 00:14:48,474 Speaker 1: in London all the time working on his plays in 335 00:14:48,514 --> 00:14:51,034 Speaker 1: his rioting. Oh yeah, exactly. So they kind of live 336 00:14:51,074 --> 00:14:53,314 Speaker 1: separate lives. But it's very nice. You go into the 337 00:14:53,354 --> 00:14:55,794 Speaker 1: movie knowing that it's it's called Hamnet. Like the whole 338 00:14:55,834 --> 00:14:57,914 Speaker 1: point is that the catalyst for the film is like 339 00:14:57,994 --> 00:15:00,714 Speaker 1: watching these two fall in love, watching their life, seeing 340 00:15:00,754 --> 00:15:03,554 Speaker 1: the story through Agnes's eyes, but also knowing that at 341 00:15:03,594 --> 00:15:07,354 Speaker 1: some point during the movie Hamnet will pass away and 342 00:15:07,794 --> 00:15:09,954 Speaker 1: the way that happens, And I think it's why people 343 00:15:09,954 --> 00:15:12,714 Speaker 1: are really hesitant to see the movie, because like a 344 00:15:12,794 --> 00:15:15,594 Speaker 1: death in the family is like pretty much everyone's biggest fear. 345 00:15:15,714 --> 00:15:18,714 Speaker 1: The death of a child is even more for like 346 00:15:18,874 --> 00:15:21,194 Speaker 1: parents or anyone in the world, like the very very 347 00:15:21,554 --> 00:15:25,714 Speaker 1: worst thing you could imagine. But when you watch the movie, 348 00:15:25,874 --> 00:15:28,674 Speaker 1: the death scene isn't played for shock value. There's a 349 00:15:28,714 --> 00:15:30,994 Speaker 1: lot of critics that say Hamnet is not a good movie, 350 00:15:31,074 --> 00:15:34,914 Speaker 1: it's emotional manipulation, which I don't agree with because I 351 00:15:34,994 --> 00:15:37,354 Speaker 1: feel like the death feels earned, if that makes sense. 352 00:15:37,354 --> 00:15:38,834 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like they just threw it in there. 353 00:15:38,914 --> 00:15:40,674 Speaker 1: It's the whole point of the story, and it doesn't 354 00:15:40,674 --> 00:15:42,074 Speaker 1: feel like they just threw it in there to shock you. 355 00:15:42,234 --> 00:15:45,314 Speaker 1: And it's not unnecessarily drawn out. It doesn't feel like 356 00:15:45,354 --> 00:15:47,274 Speaker 1: it's just there to cause you pain. It's just part 357 00:15:47,314 --> 00:15:49,674 Speaker 1: of the story. It's what really happened. And there's such 358 00:15:49,674 --> 00:15:51,714 Speaker 1: a big build up to it, like it's halfway through 359 00:15:51,754 --> 00:15:53,394 Speaker 1: the movie, so the time you get to it, you're 360 00:15:53,434 --> 00:15:55,874 Speaker 1: like so invested in the family you're so invested in, 361 00:15:55,954 --> 00:15:58,394 Speaker 1: like Hamnett as a character and his relationship with his 362 00:15:58,474 --> 00:16:00,594 Speaker 1: sisters and his twin sister, and it's just all like 363 00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:04,154 Speaker 1: it's so tragic, but it's tragic because you care about 364 00:16:04,154 --> 00:16:06,234 Speaker 1: the family and you care about the story that's being told, 365 00:16:06,354 --> 00:16:09,314 Speaker 1: not just because it's child died. I have to just say, though, 366 00:16:09,554 --> 00:16:11,474 Speaker 1: as much as I'm saying everyone should go and see it, 367 00:16:11,914 --> 00:16:14,754 Speaker 1: it's such a beautiful movie. Like it's so beautiful. And 368 00:16:14,834 --> 00:16:16,474 Speaker 1: I saw it weeks and weeks ago, like I saw 369 00:16:16,514 --> 00:16:18,914 Speaker 1: it well before Christmas, and I still think about it 370 00:16:18,994 --> 00:16:21,794 Speaker 1: every day. I was like you in the theater. Oh no, 371 00:16:22,194 --> 00:16:25,474 Speaker 1: So I never cover my eyes in anything. I can 372 00:16:25,554 --> 00:16:27,714 Speaker 1: watch anything on screen. I don't. I can watch Gore, 373 00:16:27,834 --> 00:16:30,034 Speaker 1: I can watch horror, I can watch awkwardness, I can 374 00:16:30,114 --> 00:16:32,514 Speaker 1: watch the wildest sex scene normally when I'm in the 375 00:16:32,554 --> 00:16:35,914 Speaker 1: theater with you. Yeah, anything happens, you put your hands 376 00:16:35,914 --> 00:16:38,874 Speaker 1: over your eyes, you start whim praying. Sometimes you slink 377 00:16:38,914 --> 00:16:41,114 Speaker 1: onto the floor and a little ball that was me 378 00:16:41,194 --> 00:16:43,834 Speaker 1: and Hamnet. I had to cover my eyes during the 379 00:16:43,874 --> 00:16:45,754 Speaker 1: scene where the child was dying. It just it was 380 00:16:45,834 --> 00:16:48,634 Speaker 1: so like a slow dead Yeah, it's kind of like 381 00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:50,554 Speaker 1: because he's trying to help his sister she gets sick, 382 00:16:50,554 --> 00:16:52,234 Speaker 1: and then he gets sick and he's like calling for 383 00:16:52,354 --> 00:16:55,234 Speaker 1: his mom and then it's just odd. It's just like 384 00:16:55,394 --> 00:16:57,194 Speaker 1: it's so and then you're also seeing him being in 385 00:16:57,274 --> 00:16:59,794 Speaker 1: this like separate world where he's like getting taken away 386 00:16:59,834 --> 00:17:02,954 Speaker 1: from his parents and just like and Jesse Buckley is 387 00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:05,714 Speaker 1: so I mean, the actor who plays Hamnet is so 388 00:17:05,994 --> 00:17:08,594 Speaker 1: so good, but Jesse and like all the child actors 389 00:17:08,634 --> 00:17:11,314 Speaker 1: are incredible, like their grief and their performance is so good. 390 00:17:11,594 --> 00:17:14,634 Speaker 1: Jesse Buckley just is just a force in this movie. 391 00:17:15,074 --> 00:17:18,114 Speaker 1: Like the way she portrays grief and loss and like 392 00:17:18,234 --> 00:17:20,954 Speaker 1: motherhood and everything is just so like visceral that you 393 00:17:21,154 --> 00:17:23,434 Speaker 1: feel that you're in it with her. And I think 394 00:17:23,514 --> 00:17:25,954 Speaker 1: that also, Like it was mesmerizing to watch, but I 395 00:17:25,994 --> 00:17:27,634 Speaker 1: did have to give myself just a moment where I 396 00:17:27,714 --> 00:17:29,674 Speaker 1: covered my eyes. I could still hear what was going on, 397 00:17:29,794 --> 00:17:31,754 Speaker 1: so like I wasn't like, you know, out of the loop, 398 00:17:31,834 --> 00:17:34,634 Speaker 1: but I just had to give myself a moment like escape, 399 00:17:34,954 --> 00:17:36,194 Speaker 1: and then I got back in. And then it's a 400 00:17:36,234 --> 00:17:38,714 Speaker 1: story of like how they rebuild and like how their 401 00:17:38,794 --> 00:17:40,714 Speaker 1: marriage like is affected by it, and like what she 402 00:17:40,914 --> 00:17:43,194 Speaker 1: goes through and then it obviously ends with him like 403 00:17:43,394 --> 00:17:46,874 Speaker 1: making the play Hamlet and like her reaction where she 404 00:17:46,954 --> 00:17:48,434 Speaker 1: goes to see it, and I've gotta say, like it's 405 00:17:48,514 --> 00:17:50,513 Speaker 1: much like it sounds really sad, it does end on 406 00:17:50,594 --> 00:17:53,954 Speaker 1: a hopeful note, and it's this really interesting exploration of 407 00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:57,674 Speaker 1: how art helps us process everything in life, including grief. 408 00:17:58,394 --> 00:18:01,314 Speaker 1: So it's real heavy. Yeah, I really think you should 409 00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:02,714 Speaker 1: go and see it. I understand if some people just 410 00:18:02,794 --> 00:18:04,874 Speaker 1: have to protect yourself, and that's fine, like don't see it, 411 00:18:04,994 --> 00:18:07,474 Speaker 1: like there walls an end, but I would say, don't 412 00:18:07,514 --> 00:18:08,914 Speaker 1: just stay away free because you're like, oh, I've heard 413 00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:11,554 Speaker 1: that's sad, because it's more than just a sad Yeah, 414 00:18:11,754 --> 00:18:14,954 Speaker 1: it's really beautiful. There's romantic moments, it's funny moment And. 415 00:18:14,994 --> 00:18:16,874 Speaker 2: Also I think we've talked about it before that like 416 00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:21,354 Speaker 2: especially movies and TV shows i'd get nominated for such 417 00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:25,513 Speaker 2: prestigious awards, like it is really nice watching them because then, 418 00:18:25,714 --> 00:18:28,794 Speaker 2: like when you watch everything that's been nominated, you yourself 419 00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:32,274 Speaker 2: can see why certain shows and certain movies win, certain 420 00:18:32,274 --> 00:18:34,994 Speaker 2: actors and certain actresses win, and there is some satisfaction 421 00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:35,234 Speaker 2: in that. 422 00:18:35,554 --> 00:18:37,834 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly of kind of like being part of the 423 00:18:37,954 --> 00:18:41,074 Speaker 1: conversation when it's happening. So Hamnet is out in cinem 424 00:18:41,194 --> 00:18:43,554 Speaker 1: is now in Australia. Like, yes, you'll have a good cry, 425 00:18:43,674 --> 00:18:45,794 Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes we just need to sit in 426 00:18:45,874 --> 00:18:48,434 Speaker 1: that moment and that's what good art does. So yeah, 427 00:18:48,554 --> 00:18:53,554 Speaker 1: highly recommend. Okay, So our last recommendation of this episode 428 00:18:54,074 --> 00:18:55,834 Speaker 1: is a very buzzy show that has already won a 429 00:18:55,874 --> 00:18:58,154 Speaker 1: couple of Golden Globes this week.

He is 487 00:21:31,394 --> 00:21:34,154 Speaker 1: the chief of emergency. Yeah, he has to be Have 488 00:21:34,234 --> 00:21:36,714 Speaker 1: you seen his biceps? Yeah, he's in charge. I'm not 489 00:21:36,754 --> 00:21:39,234 Speaker 1: sure how relevant biceps is to like emergency. I think 490 00:21:39,274 --> 00:21:42,754 Speaker 1: it's very relevant. I mean, look, CPR, maybe the doctors 491 00:21:42,874 --> 00:21:44,313 Speaker 1: need to have those. I think we all I can 492 00:21:44,354 --> 00:21:46,954 Speaker 1: see this going off the rail. So tell us for 493 00:21:46,994 --> 00:21:49,034 Speaker 1: anyone who's on a cross what is the Pit? Because 494 00:21:49,034 --> 00:21:50,674 Speaker 1: we're in season two now, but it made quite a 495 00:21:50,754 --> 00:21:53,754 Speaker 1: splash when it came out in season one. It did okay, honestly, 496 00:21:53,754 --> 00:21:55,154 Speaker 1: and if you haven't been watching The Pit, I'm not 497 00:21:55,194 --> 00:21:57,634 Speaker 1: sure what you've been watching. There's literally no other television, like, 498 00:21:57,754 --> 00:22:00,994 Speaker 1: no other television exists. No other television has existed for 499 00:22:01,074 --> 00:22:01,914 Speaker 1: me in a very long time. 500 00:22:02,314 --> 00:22:05,754 Speaker 3: No. So it's based on this one emergency room in Pittsburgh. 501 00:22:06,034 --> 00:22:08,154 Speaker 3: They nicknamed it the Pit, and it is a very 502 00:22:08,234 --> 00:22:10,794 Speaker 3: interesting format of the show. It's one hour episodes. There's 503 00:22:10,794 --> 00:22:14,034 Speaker 3: fifteen episodes in every season, but it's like literally real time, 504 00:22:14,194 --> 00:22:15,513 Speaker 3: so each episode is. 505 00:22:15,594 --> 00:22:17,274 Speaker 1: One hour of real time in the emergency. 506 00:22:17,434 --> 00:22:20,914 Speaker 3: Wow. It is high stakes, so you're kind of like 507 00:22:21,034 --> 00:22:24,834 Speaker 3: with these people as their day unfolds and gets more chaotic, 508 00:22:24,914 --> 00:22:27,594 Speaker 3: gets more dramatic, and you get invested in characters that 509 00:22:27,634 --> 00:22:29,074 Speaker 3: you meet in episode one and then all of a 510 00:22:29,074 --> 00:22:32,234 Speaker 3: sudden episode thirteen, Oh my god, they're back and something 511 00:22:32,954 --> 00:22:35,234 Speaker 3: horrific slash joyful. I don't know, maybe has happened. 512 00:22:35,474 --> 00:22:38,994 Speaker 2: Wow, okay, okay, so it's all just about medical stuff. 513 00:22:39,034 --> 00:22:41,234 Speaker 2: There's no like not into their homes. 514 00:22:41,514 --> 00:22:45,354 Speaker 1: No, no, it's no. There's no great Christina and Meredith going. 515 00:22:45,474 --> 00:22:47,914 Speaker 1: I know he's dreaming, but he's not the sun you are. 516 00:22:48,754 --> 00:22:52,474 Speaker 1: No one's hooking up on camera at least you know 517 00:22:52,554 --> 00:22:55,154 Speaker 1: which sound point. No, it's not even some wation to 518 00:22:55,274 --> 00:22:55,834 Speaker 1: doctor action. 519 00:22:56,154 --> 00:22:57,954 Speaker 3: Look, I'm not I don't want to give away too 520 00:22:58,034 --> 00:23:00,794 Speaker 3: much because I have seen a couple of episodes of 521 00:23:01,034 --> 00:23:03,034 Speaker 3: season two, so I'm a little bit you know, I 522 00:23:03,234 --> 00:23:05,874 Speaker 3: was blessed by the pit gods and given access to 523 00:23:05,954 --> 00:23:07,513 Speaker 3: actually know a whily just called me and was like, 524 00:23:07,674 --> 00:23:09,834 Speaker 3: can you just touch season? 525 00:23:10,354 --> 00:23:14,914 Speaker 1: The movie Night is travel You want to go to 526 00:23:15,314 --> 00:23:17,994 Speaker 1: food and Traveler. You know what, if anyone should be watching, 527 00:23:18,434 --> 00:23:20,994 Speaker 1: you are the go to girls. 528 00:23:21,474 --> 00:23:23,354 Speaker 3: I'm not going to give anything away because you know, 529 00:23:23,794 --> 00:23:28,194 Speaker 3: like spoilers, spoilers slash lawyers. But yeah, look, it's not 530 00:23:28,394 --> 00:23:32,474 Speaker 3: as romantic and sexy as Gray's Anatomy, but it is 531 00:23:32,674 --> 00:23:36,434 Speaker 3: super realistic. The medical professionals and medical communities love this 532 00:23:36,514 --> 00:23:39,154 Speaker 3: show because it is so highly accurate. The actors have 533 00:23:39,234 --> 00:23:42,794 Speaker 3: all gone through like eer medical boot camp, so and 534 00:23:42,874 --> 00:23:45,154 Speaker 3: it's just so nipiggy what people pick up, what. 535 00:23:45,314 --> 00:23:47,234 Speaker 1: Is accurate and what is not on this show. And 536 00:23:48,074 --> 00:23:51,554 Speaker 1: there's very little that they get wrong. That's so cool. 537 00:23:51,554 --> 00:23:54,034 Speaker 1: So this is more of a hardcore medical drama. It's 538 00:23:54,074 --> 00:23:56,434 Speaker 1: hard for people who don't like the kissing and lifts. Look, 539 00:23:56,474 --> 00:23:58,954 Speaker 1: we all love kissing and lifts and Mick dreams and 540 00:23:59,034 --> 00:24:03,914 Speaker 1: mixed themis and whatever spare time, you know what. But Wiley, 541 00:24:04,074 --> 00:24:07,513 Speaker 1: like again, that is miss that's to me. And he 542 00:24:07,674 --> 00:24:09,874 Speaker 1: just won Best Actor at the Globes and was yeah, 543 00:24:09,914 --> 00:24:11,794 Speaker 1: and like he's in working but he's had this huge 544 00:24:11,794 --> 00:24:14,754 Speaker 1: comeback and also to return to his medical roots and yeah, 545 00:24:14,994 --> 00:24:17,274 Speaker 1: and returned to George Clooney. Yeah, they had a pick together, 546 00:24:17,354 --> 00:24:20,594 Speaker 1: gone Globes, huge moments of everyone. George Clooney. I think 547 00:24:20,634 --> 00:24:22,234 Speaker 1: he might do because he's a really good sense of humor. 548 00:24:22,554 --> 00:24:23,833 Speaker 1: Needs to guest star on the pit. 549 00:24:24,034 --> 00:24:26,714 Speaker 3: Well, that is a topic of discussion, So I don't 550 00:24:26,754 --> 00:24:29,874 Speaker 3: think in season two, but it's just been renewed for 551 00:24:29,914 --> 00:24:30,354 Speaker 3: season three. 552 00:24:30,354 --> 00:24:32,634 Speaker 1: It's already been renewed, so I don't know. Maybe we'll 553 00:24:32,634 --> 00:24:34,874 Speaker 1: have a little easnique George Clooney. I can see him 554 00:24:34,914 --> 00:24:38,354 Speaker 1: as a patient. He should just come in for a 555 00:24:39,234 --> 00:24:41,714 Speaker 1: bike or something. He does having really random I don't 556 00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:44,434 Speaker 1: know that will be the best thing. Since Noah Wiley 557 00:24:44,514 --> 00:24:47,273 Speaker 1: and George Clooney played doctors on Friends. Remember they did 558 00:24:47,274 --> 00:24:50,074 Speaker 1: a cameo as doctors when he was on Friends as well. Yeah, 559 00:24:50,194 --> 00:24:53,194 Speaker 1: Noel Wiley, he and George Clooney played It was one episode. 560 00:24:53,314 --> 00:24:55,594 Speaker 1: They played doctors who dated Monica and Rachel. 561 00:24:56,034 --> 00:24:59,234 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love that. 562 00:24:59,594 --> 00:25:01,954 Speaker 1: They're the most famous doctors in the world. Yes, they 563 00:25:02,034 --> 00:25:04,513 Speaker 1: need to return. We need that duo back on our screens. 564 00:25:04,554 --> 00:25:06,274 Speaker 1: Not just that. A watch shows and the whole cast 565 00:25:06,354 --> 00:25:07,874 Speaker 1: of The Pit is great though too, like we love 566 00:25:07,994 --> 00:25:09,434 Speaker 1: no A Wiley, but from what I've seen and like 567 00:25:09,434 --> 00:25:11,033 Speaker 1: because other people in the cast of won awards. 568 00:25:12,554 --> 00:25:16,353 Speaker 3: She won Best Actress at the Emmys. She plays day Now. 569 00:25:16,474 --> 00:25:18,674 Speaker 3: She is the charged nurse, so she can't the head nurse. 570 00:25:18,754 --> 00:25:22,834 Speaker 3: She basically runs the emergency room and if you've seen 571 00:25:22,914 --> 00:25:25,994 Speaker 3: season one, her kind of story was a bit up 572 00:25:26,034 --> 00:25:27,314 Speaker 3: in the air. At the end of season one, she's 573 00:25:27,354 --> 00:25:29,714 Speaker 3: back for season two. She's bring in a whole bunch 574 00:25:29,714 --> 00:25:32,674 Speaker 3: of new attitude. She's probably one of my favorite character. Wow, 575 00:25:33,394 --> 00:25:35,353 Speaker 3: here's a question, because the reason I watched the pie. 576 00:25:35,354 --> 00:25:36,674 Speaker 3: I don't know if you pick up from why I'm talking, 577 00:25:36,754 --> 00:25:38,714 Speaker 3: but I have not seen it. I can barely watch 578 00:25:38,714 --> 00:25:40,554 Speaker 3: grays Natomy, So when I watch grays Namy, I have 579 00:25:40,674 --> 00:25:42,954 Speaker 3: to skip through all the medical stuff and just watch 580 00:25:42,994 --> 00:25:43,394 Speaker 3: the kissing. 581 00:25:43,514 --> 00:25:45,434 Speaker 1: Is it the gory? Di I just I'm a huge 582 00:25:45,474 --> 00:25:47,994 Speaker 1: hype of contract and if I see someone has some 583 00:25:48,154 --> 00:25:50,714 Speaker 1: sort of incurable disease they picked up in a foreign country, 584 00:25:50,714 --> 00:25:53,114 Speaker 1: I immediately think I also have it. And so I've 585 00:25:53,154 --> 00:25:54,954 Speaker 1: been banned from my sister who's a doctor, because I 586 00:25:55,034 --> 00:25:56,914 Speaker 1: used to call her and be like, I'm dying. She's like, 587 00:25:57,034 --> 00:25:59,754 Speaker 1: you're just watching Greys Anatomy. I can tell, so I 588 00:25:59,914 --> 00:26:01,834 Speaker 1: can't watch it. Do you get stressed? Because people say 589 00:26:01,914 --> 00:26:04,553 Speaker 1: it is the most stressful thing, people like fans. I've 590 00:26:04,594 --> 00:26:06,914 Speaker 1: heard they like, my heart was beating so fast I 591 00:26:07,514 --> 00:26:09,434 Speaker 1: had to turn it off. It's too much because it 592 00:26:09,594 --> 00:26:12,034 Speaker 1: feels like you're in the ear being a doctor, and 593 00:26:12,194 --> 00:26:14,234 Speaker 1: it's like a life and death situation. And because it's 594 00:26:14,234 --> 00:26:17,274 Speaker 1: an hour each. We haven't made this such stress since 595 00:26:17,274 --> 00:26:20,314 Speaker 1: The King to someone show twenty four, Right. 596 00:26:20,474 --> 00:26:22,434 Speaker 3: That's very true. It is very stressful. And the thing 597 00:26:22,474 --> 00:26:25,194 Speaker 3: about the Pit is that it's really not dramatized. So 598 00:26:25,394 --> 00:26:27,554 Speaker 3: you know, in Gray's Nani, You've got You've got snow 599 00:26:27,634 --> 00:26:30,354 Speaker 3: patrol playing, You've got like this is how I should feel. 600 00:26:30,154 --> 00:26:32,154 Speaker 1: In this situation, like you have a hospital shooter. 601 00:26:32,554 --> 00:26:35,354 Speaker 3: Yeah, but like there's dramatic situations in the pit, but 602 00:26:35,434 --> 00:26:38,194 Speaker 3: you're not kind of guided by music or dialogue to 603 00:26:38,274 --> 00:26:39,474 Speaker 3: kind of change your hands. 604 00:26:39,514 --> 00:26:42,754 Speaker 1: So you do really feel what the doctors are feeling.
