00:00:45,173 --> 00:00:47,573
Speaker 2: so we saw this trailer at home for the first

00:00:47,573 --> 00:00:49,293
Speaker 2: film that we're going to be sharing with you this morning,

12
00:00:49,293 --> 00:00:51,133
Speaker 2: and my wife said, oh, that looks amazing, and I said,

13
00:00:51,173 --> 00:00:53,333
Speaker 2: it looks awfully like a film I saw about twenty

14
00:00:53,413 --> 00:00:55,333
Speaker 2: years ago. But let's let our audience make up their

15
00:00:55,373 --> 00:00:59,173
Speaker 2: own minds. This is Twisters. We want a generation torna

16
00:00:59,253 --> 00:01:01,253
Speaker 2: or outbreak continues Talkhomer.

17
00:01:01,453 --> 00:01:03,933
Speaker 3: We've never seen tornidos like this before, and we need

18
00:01:03,973 --> 00:01:05,613
Speaker 3: your help. No, I don't chase anymore.

19
00:01:05,813 --> 00:01:14,053
Speaker 2: Thank we deceived lives They Tyler Orwans cause himself, Torneedo ring.

20
00:01:14,893 --> 00:01:16,853
Speaker 3: Scar scared.

21
00:01:18,333 --> 00:01:21,733
Speaker 2: Okay, this is Twisters, not to be confused with twist

22
00:01:22,213 --> 00:01:23,613
Speaker 2: tur If.

23
00:01:23,493 --> 00:01:24,893
Speaker 3: You feel it, chase it. They could be a bit

24
00:01:24,893 --> 00:01:25,693
Speaker 3: of a model for life.

25
00:01:25,733 --> 00:01:27,533
Speaker 2: Could feel it, Chase it.

26
00:01:27,413 --> 00:01:31,893
Speaker 3: Chase it. This has got everything you want in a blockbuster, Jack.

27
00:01:31,973 --> 00:01:34,133
Speaker 3: It's got a lot of high speed actions, some pretty

28
00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:36,173
Speaker 3: good special effects. Actually, it's got a lot of humor.

29
00:01:36,333 --> 00:01:38,533
Speaker 3: It's got a touch of romance, but it's just a touch.

30
00:01:38,613 --> 00:01:42,053
Speaker 3: There's not even a kiss here, because this is family entertaining, okay,

31
00:01:43,093 --> 00:01:46,453
Speaker 3: And it's really cheesy at times, and a touch predictable,

32
00:01:46,573 --> 00:01:49,093
Speaker 3: and it's good fun. Yeah, it's everything that you want

33
00:01:49,093 --> 00:01:51,973
Speaker 3: out of a blockbuster. And you're absolutely right. You possibly

34
00:01:51,973 --> 00:01:54,693
Speaker 3: saw this film in nineteen ninety six. So they're saying

35
00:01:54,733 --> 00:01:56,613
Speaker 3: that it's kind of not they're not sort of saying

36
00:01:56,653 --> 00:01:58,813
Speaker 3: that it's a remake, and they're not saying it's a sequel.

37
00:01:58,853 --> 00:02:01,933
Speaker 3: It's kind of like just the film but in a

38
00:02:01,973 --> 00:02:05,653
Speaker 3: contemporary kind of setting. But you know, they can't even

39
00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:07,933
Speaker 3: quite use the words climate change or anything. There is

40
00:02:07,933 --> 00:02:09,693
Speaker 3: this sort of there's a sense that you know, there

41
00:02:09,773 --> 00:02:11,293
Speaker 3: is a change in the climate, but we don't even

42
00:02:11,453 --> 00:02:14,733
Speaker 3: use those words either. So it's taking it very very safely.

43
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:18,173
Speaker 3: But hey, two fabulous leads here with great chemistry Daisy

44
00:02:18,213 --> 00:02:21,493
Speaker 3: egg Jones and Glenn Powell. Glen Powe's sort of like

45
00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:24,813
Speaker 3: the man of the moment. Actually he's a hit man

46
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:28,133
Speaker 3: on and he's particularly steamy in this one.

47
00:02:28,013 --> 00:02:28,653
Speaker 2: I must say.

48
00:02:29,813 --> 00:02:32,093
Speaker 3: Anyway, so it's sort of felt that there's not going

49
00:02:32,133 --> 00:02:34,933
Speaker 3: to blow your socks off, but this is really great entertainment.

50
00:02:35,133 --> 00:02:38,613
Speaker 3: I think for the Holidays doesn't take it south too

51
00:02:38,653 --> 00:02:43,133
Speaker 3: seriously while trying to also take the fact that tornadoes

52
00:02:43,213 --> 00:02:45,573
Speaker 3: and their destruction they cause is serious, if you know

53
00:02:45,613 --> 00:02:45,933
Speaker 3: what I mean.

54
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:47,093
Speaker 2: The sort of.

55
00:02:47,413 --> 00:02:50,173
Speaker 3: Nicely kind of balancing that up. And basically we do

56
00:02:50,253 --> 00:02:52,693
Speaker 3: we just watch a couple of we watch your tornado

57
00:02:52,773 --> 00:02:57,293
Speaker 3: wrangler played by Glenn and a tornado whisperer played by

58
00:02:57,373 --> 00:03:00,573
Speaker 3: Daisy kind of start out on sort of opposite sides

59
00:03:00,573 --> 00:03:04,613
Speaker 3: of the tornado and then and then sort of come

60
00:03:04,653 --> 00:03:06,973
Speaker 3: together a little bit throughout. And that's all you need

61
00:03:07,013 --> 00:03:07,173
Speaker 3: to know.

62
00:03:07,453 --> 00:03:09,293
Speaker 2: Good fun. I'm just going to read one line from this,

63
00:03:10,613 --> 00:03:14,693
Speaker 2: So is it Harvey Harvey Cake Cooper. Yeah, yeah, so

64
00:03:15,093 --> 00:03:17,573
Speaker 2: she crossed his path with I'm presuming Glenn Power's character

65
00:03:17,973 --> 00:03:22,973
Speaker 2: Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social media superstar who

66
00:03:23,013 --> 00:03:25,773
Speaker 2: thrives on posting his storm cheasing adventures.

67
00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:28,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. So he's the YouTuber and she's sort

68
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:30,693
Speaker 3: of the scientist and socialologist. But oh look, there's a

69
00:03:30,693 --> 00:03:32,733
Speaker 3: lot more to the characters than you think. Just remember

70
00:03:32,893 --> 00:03:34,933
Speaker 3: is there if you feel it, chase it.

71
00:03:34,973 --> 00:03:37,053
Speaker 2: If you feel it, chase it. Honestly words to lift

72
00:03:37,053 --> 00:03:39,573
Speaker 2: by speaking of feeling it. Have I ever told you

73
00:03:39,613 --> 00:03:43,453
Speaker 2: about the time I went tornado chasing. No, I didn't

74
00:03:43,493 --> 00:03:46,613
Speaker 2: actually took chase like a proper like the tornado had

75
00:03:46,613 --> 00:03:48,493
Speaker 2: fizzled by the time I got there. But I was

76
00:03:48,493 --> 00:03:52,253
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma for work and there was a massive tornadoes.

77
00:03:52,373 --> 00:03:56,213
Speaker 2: The more tornado, I think about thirty five people died, sadly,

78
00:03:56,813 --> 00:03:59,253
Speaker 2: and it was like a Category five tornado, like one

79
00:03:59,253 --> 00:04:02,053
Speaker 2: of those absolute you know, like where they're like, oh,

80
00:04:02,133 --> 00:04:03,813
Speaker 2: this is like a black hole tornado.

81
00:04:03,813 --> 00:04:04,933
Speaker 3: Seen one of those in the movie.

82
00:04:05,053 --> 00:04:05,293
Speaker 1: Yeah.

83
00:04:05,453 --> 00:04:09,613
Speaker 2: And I got there and it was a couple of

84
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:11,933
Speaker 2: years after the christ Itch earthquake, so I've seen all

85
00:04:12,013 --> 00:04:14,053
Speaker 2: the destruction in christ Church, and then I went to

86
00:04:14,653 --> 00:04:18,773
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City and saw this tornado, and I just can't

87
00:04:18,813 --> 00:04:23,533
Speaker 2: impress upon you the scale of destruction. It's just unbelievable

88
00:04:23,853 --> 00:04:26,653
Speaker 2: what tornadoes can do. Like I think like three hundred

89
00:04:26,813 --> 00:04:28,013
Speaker 2: kilomere in our wins, you know.

90
00:04:28,053 --> 00:04:31,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think actually that's the one thing to capture.

91
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:32,453
Speaker 2: Ye, it's very much the one.

92
00:04:32,493 --> 00:04:33,573
Speaker 3: And when I sort of said to you, it's that

93
00:04:33,613 --> 00:04:36,533
Speaker 3: balance between the film not taking it serious the characters,

94
00:04:36,533 --> 00:04:39,533
Speaker 3: but actually very much trying to take seriously the devastation,

95
00:04:40,253 --> 00:04:45,573
Speaker 3: just the annihilation. It's the place. Yeah, I remember it

96
00:04:45,613 --> 00:04:47,653
Speaker 3: was an unpredictability of them and how to know when

97
00:04:47,693 --> 00:04:49,333
Speaker 3: they form and things like that. Look that there are

98
00:04:49,373 --> 00:04:50,573
Speaker 3: some interesting aspects of the film.

99
00:04:50,613 --> 00:04:52,573
Speaker 2: Oh it sounds good. Okay, all right, So that is

100
00:04:52,853 --> 00:04:55,453
Speaker 2: Twisters that is showing in cinemas and it feels like

101
00:04:55,453 --> 00:05:00,053
Speaker 2: a kind of movie you probably want to see the holidays. Yeah, yeah, okay.

102
00:05:00,173 --> 00:05:03,013
Speaker 2: Next up, tell us about Carfa Fi Torny. Yes.

103
00:05:03,093 --> 00:05:04,813
Speaker 3: Now, this was released a couple of weeks ago, and

104
00:05:04,853 --> 00:05:06,373
Speaker 3: I really want to take a mention of it, becau.

105
00:05:06,533 --> 00:05:10,293
Speaker 3: It's a very powerful historical drama, but it also looks

106
00:05:10,373 --> 00:05:12,973
Speaker 3: beautiful and should be seen on the big screen. And

107
00:05:13,533 --> 00:05:15,893
Speaker 3: as I mentioned, released a couple of weeks ago. It

108
00:05:15,973 --> 00:05:21,413
Speaker 3: tells the story of the battle for Raco in the Waikato,

109
00:05:22,053 --> 00:05:24,933
Speaker 3: and it's told very much through the Murray Lens here,

110
00:05:24,973 --> 00:05:29,293
Speaker 3: so we're in eighteen sixty four. This is probably one

111
00:05:29,293 --> 00:05:32,213
Speaker 3: of the more dramatic events in the land wars. I

112
00:05:32,213 --> 00:05:35,373
Speaker 3: think they actually celebrated one hundred and sixtieth anniversary that

113
00:05:35,533 --> 00:05:38,573
Speaker 3: was marked this year of this particular battle. And at

114
00:05:38,613 --> 00:05:40,773
Speaker 3: the heart of this film with two teenagers, one is

115
00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:45,453
Speaker 3: a young woman, a prophet who speaks for the war

116
00:05:45,493 --> 00:05:49,973
Speaker 3: of the God of War. She is feared by everybody,

117
00:05:49,973 --> 00:05:52,933
Speaker 3: including her own people. And another young boy who has

118
00:05:53,093 --> 00:05:56,653
Speaker 3: a Pakiha father and a Maori mother and he is

119
00:05:56,813 --> 00:05:59,933
Speaker 3: he finds himself in this battle as well. So the

120
00:06:00,013 --> 00:06:04,053
Speaker 3: story there at the heart of the story. Amazing cast Timioda, Morrison,

121
00:06:04,413 --> 00:06:07,373
Speaker 3: Mariam Smithcliff Curtis. So it's a bit of a mix

122
00:06:07,453 --> 00:06:10,053
Speaker 3: of the coming of age story of these young characters,

123
00:06:10,053 --> 00:06:12,533
Speaker 3: but also a bit of a coming of age story

124
00:06:12,573 --> 00:06:14,813
Speaker 3: for New Zealand because the country was very much in

125
00:06:14,853 --> 00:06:16,573
Speaker 3: flux at that point and sort of at this point

126
00:06:16,613 --> 00:06:19,853
Speaker 3: of chaos. So it's a war film as well. I

127
00:06:19,853 --> 00:06:21,493
Speaker 3: mean I sat there a lot of times going okay,

128
00:06:21,493 --> 00:06:23,613
Speaker 3: brief now take a breath. Yeah, Like it's full on.

129
00:06:23,773 --> 00:06:26,573
Speaker 3: So it's wonderful, definitely deserves to be seen on the

130
00:06:26,573 --> 00:06:27,013
Speaker 3: big screen.

131
00:06:27,093 --> 00:06:29,413
Speaker 2: Okay, great, that sounds really good. So that is car

132
00:06:29,453 --> 00:06:33,093
Speaker 2: Far five Tornu. We'll make sure that and Twisters, two

133
00:06:33,173 --> 00:06:36,213
Speaker 2: rather different films. It has to be said, that's what

134
00:06:36,293 --> 00:06:39,013
Speaker 2: we do, that's what I try to do. What is

135
00:06:39,053 --> 00:06:41,373
Speaker 2: something for everybody exactly? We will make sure details for
