1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: It is Scarpetta. It is on Prime. Let's take a

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: listen to the train.

3
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: Hi, doctor K Scarpetta, do solemnly swear I will faithfully

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: and impartially discharge all of the duties incumbent upon me

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 2: as Chief Medical Examiner to the best of my ability.

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: Second time, it's charm, good luck, doctor Scarpetta. I came

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: back to this job because I didn't like the way

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: I left things last time around. And doctor Scarpetta, it's

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: a fifth victim in two and a half months. Second

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: chance is pretty hard to resist, right? Is it a

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: second chance? Or am I just looking to mess myself

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: up again? It's all over the news. What our lady

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: of the train tracks? That's what they're calling her.

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: Two women with the same headwounds.

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: We're looking for here as a serial healer?

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Jeeps? Okay, Scarpetta, it is on Prime.

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: Have we got Gail?

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Gail?

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: Can you hear me? Gail?

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if Gail can hear me. It is

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis trying to essentially unmask

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: a serial killer, and Nicole Kidman stars as K Scarpetta,

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: trying to prove that her career making case from twenty

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: eight years previously, is not her undoing. I tell you what,

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Jamie Lee Curtis. I always

26
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: find Nicole Nicole Kidman a bit difficult, and while I

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: can appreciate that she's a fantastic actress, I struggle with

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: her a little bit. This looks great though. Actually, Gail, Hi, Hi,

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: are you sorry to throw you in there? I know

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: we're having issues on our zoom. I'm so sorry.

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: So we are.

32
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: Nicole, Jamie Lee Curtis. Nicole Kidman plays a doctor k

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Scarpetter and essentially trying to unmask this killer.

34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 4: Right, yep. Absolutely, And it's quite interesting because I don't

35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: know if you remember all the between nineteen ninety and

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 4: sort of relatively recently. Patricia Cornwall, the author of the

37
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: Scar Petter books, wrote twenty nine of them, and I

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: think I read all of them. And so when I

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: saw this pop up on Prime, I was so excited

40
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: about it. I thought, Oh my goodness, and then I

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: thought had Nicole Kidman in it and Jamie Lee Curtis,

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 4: and so, I mean it's got a heavy cast. Simon

43
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 4: Baker from The Mentalist is also in it. Bobby Canavala

44
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: isn't it. And he's got like a very very top

45
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: heavy cast and it sort of split. It splits the

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: cast in two. So there's this sort of heavy hitting

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 4: cast who play the current Scar Petter and the sort

48
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 4: of band of investigators and family, and then there's a

49
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: Rosy McEwan. He's an actress on not very familiar with,

50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: but she should have lead the way back in the

51
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: nineties cast, and in some ways that cast are It's

52
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: almost better because I found the first couple of episodes

53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: a little bit disconcerting because I had to try and

54
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: work out what was going on, and they sort of

55
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 4: leaned very heavily into the family drama between scar Petra

56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 4: and her sister's sort of dynamic, her niece Lucy, who

57
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: people have read the books will remember pops up in them,

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: and then sort of their current relationships. So it felt

59
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: a little bit sort of a little bit Unmurder Life

60
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: a little bit more like a sort of drama series.

61
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: But the premise is that there's are younger they find

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: a young woman dead in horrible circumstances, obviously on the

63
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: train tracks, and Scar Petter and Pete Marino, who's the

64
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: detective from the books as well he's now married to

65
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: her sister. But she sort of drafts the men again

66
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: to help with this new case, and the two of

67
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 4: them suddenly realized that it looks a lot like something

68
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: that happened a long time ago, where they thought they'd

69
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: caught the right guy, but now they're questioning whether they

70
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: did or not. And it's quite interesting because I think

71
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 4: maybe it's got such a great cast you just think

72
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: it can't fail. But sometimes that can be a bit

73
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: of a problem, I know, because the scripting. I'm not

74
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: sure I feel how I feel about this, because I

75
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: don't want to say that I didn't love it, because

76
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: I love for Chatricia Cornell's books, and I love the

77
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: character of take Star, Petter So and even Pete Marino.

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: I love them all. But I just didn't find that

79
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 4: this grabbed me in the same way. I think they

80
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: might have been better off just doing versions of the

81
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: original books rather than trying to create something new that

82
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: sort of referenced the books. So that's my sort of

83
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: rather the Capard review of something that I genuinely expected

84
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: to love, and it's a bit like the current Slaughter

85
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: books that anyone's a fan. She did a whole series

86
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 4: on an FBI agent called Will Trent, and Disney made

87
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: a version of that as a detective series, and again

88
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: it really just wasn't what I was expecting, and so

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: I watched about two of those as well, and then

90
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: I abandoned ships. So I think sometimes your book heroes

91
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: need to stay between the pages or And it's strange

92
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: because the Tricia Cornell's quite involved. So I'm a bit

93
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: slummached by why it's not as good as it could be.

94
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: It's got all the all the ingredients of something great,

95
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: and it's not really great.

96
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: Dear, so show you know.

97
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: I think you and I had this conversation before about

98
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman, who I just I just can't.

99
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: I don't know, I can't get on board.

100
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: I struggle a little bit. And I know that for

101
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: some people she's that they absolutely love her, and I

102
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: know that it's not it's not it's not even her acting.

103
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 1: I'm not saying she's a bad actress, because she definitely isn't.

104
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: I have the same disconnect with oh gosh, what's her name,

105
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: the British actress I look quite pretty? What do we

106
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: call her?

107
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 4: Do you know?

108
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: Kira Knightley. It's the same it's the same level of irritation.

109
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: I can't I can't get past it. Jamieie Curtis I adore,

110
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: and also Bobby Cannavell, who I think is absolutely brilliant.

111
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: Arianna Debousa, who's also in it. She was she was

112
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: in Hamilton, Hamilton, wasn't she? Yes, she was she she was.

113
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: I like her enormously. Yeah, yeah, she was in Hamilton

114
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: and prum, that's right.

115
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: I like her. All Right.

116
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna I'm going to dip in

117
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: because I've got Prime now. I don't quite know how

118
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: well when I got it. I don't remember signing up,

119
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: but I suddenly clicked on it the other day and

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: I could watch things. So I'm going to give it

121
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: a go. And yeah, well we'll see how we get on.

122
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: But big fan of Jamie Curtis. But I take your

123
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: review on advisedly advisedly. So the other thing that we

124
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: just need to chat about quickly, Gail, I went to

125
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: the cinema.

126
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know. I know that's an event, isn't it.

127
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: I went to the cinema and thank you very much,

128
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: indeed to Cineplex at Graham West who hosted me. I'm

129
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: allowed to that. I hosted me. I went to go

130
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: and see Scream seven. And incidentally, folks, if you are

131
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: a big fan of Scream, if you're a fan of

132
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Nev Campbell, if you were a fan of Courtney Cox,

133
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of any of that crew, but

134
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: more so just getting to the cinema and getting out

135
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and about. I've got two pairs of tickets to give away,

136
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: so you've just stick with me, and I'm going to

137
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: ask you a very simple question in a second. And

138
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: then the first person off was two people to give

139
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: me a call in those tickets of yours went to

140
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: go and see Scream seven.

141
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: Now, I remember going to see.

142
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: The first Scream, which was I checked earlier nineteen ninety six,

143
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: which would have made me sixteen, which makes me think

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: I either snuck into the cinema or I kind of

145
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: had bootlegged it from somewhere.

146
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: But it was a big deal.

147
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Remember when Scream came out, Drew Barrymore, Nev Campbell was

148
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: coming off the successive Party of five. Oh yeah, remember yeah,

149
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: Party of five exactly a long time ago with Matthew

150
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: Fox and Matthew Fox and the girl who ended up

151
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: in Mean Girls, Lacey Schabert, who was in Mean Girls,

152
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: a big kind of nineties teen drama ything, and she

153
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: then turned up in Scream, and of course then the

154
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: screen franchise just went on and on and on. So

155
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: remember watching the first one. This one, we're now at

156
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: number seven. Sydney nev Campbell playing as Sydney is still

157
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: kick ass. She's still doing the things, but she's now

158
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: she's kind of moved away from the town I think Woodborough,

159
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: and she's trying to sort of carve out a life

160
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: for herself, away from the chaos and the notoriety of

161
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: the ghost face killer and all of that jazz. She's

162
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: now a mom, she's got a daughter, and so the

163
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: daughter really Tatum takes the lead in this one.

164
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: She's a tough cookie.

165
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Listen, it's it wasn't as scary as you know.

166
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: I'm not great with scary movies generally, But I could

167
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: have been.

168
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: I could have.

169
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: I could have dealt with being a little bit more scared,

170
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? I could have I

171
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: could have gone a bit a bit, a bit harder

172
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: with with the scares. I think Gails disappeared, but you're

173
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: dealing with a new cast. It's got people like Isabelle

174
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: May and a camp. They've got a fresh new energy.

175
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: Courtney Cox returns. I love Courtney Cox as the journalist

176
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: in this. I think she's great. Listen a you a

177
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: few twists, a few turns. It can feel a bit

178
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: busy because there's a lot of characters coming back, a

179
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: lot of mentions of kind of Ai and and and

180
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: and who is the killer?

181
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: And and the and.

182
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: The The idea that Ai has kind of puts a

183
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: big question mark over who it.

184
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: It's fun, though, you know what I mean.

185
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: It's not one of those things that's going to keep

186
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: you awake at night because it's so terrifying, but it's

187
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: it's a bit of fun. I think fans of the

188
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: of the franchise are going to enjoy it. It's still

189
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: it's still solid. It's a solid entry, a mix of

190
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: nostalgia and fresh thill thrills.

191
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: I reckon.

192
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it a seven. I'd give it

193
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: a seven out of ten.
