12
00:00:39,813 --> 00:00:43,533
Speaker 2: Morning and Atara Good Morning. Okay, let's begin with the

13
00:00:43,533 --> 00:00:46,853
Speaker 2: show streaming on Apple TV plus tell Us about Sonny.

14
00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:50,973
Speaker 3: This is an intriguing new show. It's a dark thriller

15
00:00:51,093 --> 00:00:54,453
Speaker 3: set in Japan, and it stars American actor Rashida Jones,

16
00:00:54,453 --> 00:00:56,493
Speaker 3: who's done a lot of comedy in the past shows

17
00:00:56,533 --> 00:00:59,293
Speaker 3: like parts of recreation in the office, but this is

18
00:00:59,373 --> 00:01:03,173
Speaker 3: quite a different, more serious role for her. She's playing Suzie,

19
00:01:03,213 --> 00:01:05,653
Speaker 3: who is an American woman living in Japan with her

20
00:01:05,693 --> 00:01:09,933
Speaker 3: husband and son, and when the show begins, her family

21
00:01:09,973 --> 00:01:12,213
Speaker 3: have just gone missing in a plane crash. And to

22
00:01:12,253 --> 00:01:14,773
Speaker 3: compensate for the loss of her family, Susie is given

23
00:01:14,933 --> 00:01:17,973
Speaker 3: a domestic robot from her husband's company to help her

24
00:01:18,013 --> 00:01:20,573
Speaker 3: around the house. And it's the first sign that Susie's

25
00:01:20,613 --> 00:01:23,253
Speaker 3: husband wasn't being completely honest with her. She had no

26
00:01:23,293 --> 00:01:26,133
Speaker 3: idea he worked in robotics, but he's made this robot

27
00:01:26,133 --> 00:01:29,293
Speaker 3: for her, and this is where things get really weird. Together,

28
00:01:29,413 --> 00:01:32,253
Speaker 3: Susie and her robot are going to work out what

29
00:01:32,533 --> 00:01:35,013
Speaker 3: actually happened to her husband and son. And when I

30
00:01:35,133 --> 00:01:38,413
Speaker 3: read that Supsis, I thought, really, But in the show,

31
00:01:38,453 --> 00:01:41,213
Speaker 3: it feels quite believable and plausible, and it reminded me

32
00:01:41,293 --> 00:01:44,293
Speaker 3: a bit of a mix between Black Mirror and Severance.

33
00:01:44,333 --> 00:01:46,653
Speaker 3: You know. It's playing with her ideas about how technology

34
00:01:46,693 --> 00:01:48,893
Speaker 3: is everywhere, how it can take over our lives, you know,

35
00:01:48,973 --> 00:01:52,293
Speaker 3: not always for the better. It's very stylish and slow

36
00:01:52,373 --> 00:01:54,333
Speaker 3: and dark, and I'm not quite sure if it's going

37
00:01:54,373 --> 00:01:58,213
Speaker 3: to lean more into being a conspiracy thriller or a

38
00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:02,253
Speaker 3: sci fi sort of psychological drama. But there's a lot

39
00:02:02,253 --> 00:02:04,173
Speaker 3: going on here, some dark comedy as well. But don't

40
00:02:04,213 --> 00:02:06,733
Speaker 3: let that plot put you off. This is a quality show.

41
00:02:06,973 --> 00:02:10,133
Speaker 2: Okay, it sounds interesting, Sonny that's on Apple TV Plus.

42
00:02:10,453 --> 00:02:12,933
Speaker 2: A new season of Colin from Accounts is on tv

43
00:02:12,973 --> 00:02:13,613
Speaker 2: and Z Plus.

44
00:02:14,533 --> 00:02:16,613
Speaker 3: Yeah, Colin from Accounts is back this week. This is

45
00:02:16,693 --> 00:02:20,533
Speaker 3: the brilliant award winning Australian romantic comedy series. Season two

46
00:02:20,853 --> 00:02:23,573
Speaker 3: drops on Wednesday on tv Z Plus, but season one

47
00:02:23,613 --> 00:02:25,413
Speaker 3: is on there now. And if you're looking for something

48
00:02:25,453 --> 00:02:28,973
Speaker 3: to watch this weekend that's warm and light and genuinely funny,

49
00:02:29,013 --> 00:02:31,693
Speaker 3: I can't recommend this more. This is about two strangers,

50
00:02:31,733 --> 00:02:34,493
Speaker 3: Gordon and Ashley, who are involved in a car accident

51
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:37,013
Speaker 3: and as a result, they have to look after this

52
00:02:37,133 --> 00:02:40,693
Speaker 3: stray injured dog. Together. They name the dog Colin from Accounts,

53
00:02:40,853 --> 00:02:43,973
Speaker 3: and the dog brings their two very messy lives together

54
00:02:44,253 --> 00:02:46,693
Speaker 3: and they begin to fall for each other. And the

55
00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:48,693
Speaker 3: best thing about the show is the chemistry between the

56
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:52,053
Speaker 3: two lead actors, played by Patrick Brammel and Harriet Dyer.

57
00:02:52,253 --> 00:02:54,653
Speaker 3: They also created and wrote the show, and they are

58
00:02:54,653 --> 00:02:57,533
Speaker 3: married in real life, so there's a lovely background to this.

59
00:02:57,733 --> 00:03:00,693
Speaker 3: And their characters have nothing in common except for the dog,

60
00:03:00,813 --> 00:03:03,253
Speaker 3: but yeah, some kind of connection there and they kind

61
00:03:03,253 --> 00:03:05,413
Speaker 3: of balance each other out and it's just a lot

62
00:03:05,413 --> 00:03:07,973
Speaker 3: of fun and it's full of that really dry, sharp

63
00:03:08,173 --> 00:03:09,573
Speaker 3: Australian sense of humor.

64
00:03:09,733 --> 00:03:12,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes it work so good. Yeah, can't wait for

65
00:03:12,053 --> 00:03:14,973
Speaker 2: that Colin from account. So that's on TVNZ Plus and

66
00:03:15,053 --> 00:03:19,373
Speaker 2: on Netflix. Marcel the Shell with Shoes on Yeah.

67
00:03:19,453 --> 00:03:21,493
Speaker 3: Ending with something a little bit different today. This is

68
00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:23,413
Speaker 3: a movie that came out a couple of years ago

69
00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:25,573
Speaker 3: in cinemas, but it's just landed on Netflix and it's

70
00:03:25,613 --> 00:03:29,453
Speaker 3: an absolute gem. It's about a tiny little talking shell

71
00:03:29,733 --> 00:03:32,893
Speaker 3: named Marcel, and Marcel lives with his grandmother in an

72
00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:36,933
Speaker 3: airbnb in America, and when a documentary maker comes to stay,

73
00:03:37,013 --> 00:03:40,813
Speaker 3: he starts filming Marcel and helps Marcel become this global

74
00:03:40,813 --> 00:03:44,733
Speaker 3: internet star, and that means Marcel can start looking for

75
00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:48,213
Speaker 3: his shell family, who has been separated from It's a

76
00:03:48,213 --> 00:03:50,693
Speaker 3: stop motion animation movie, but it's made as if it's

77
00:03:51,053 --> 00:03:54,453
Speaker 3: a real documentary. It's quite convincing, and you see the

78
00:03:54,533 --> 00:03:57,413
Speaker 3: world through the eyes of this tiny little shell. Marcella's

79
00:03:57,533 --> 00:04:00,293
Speaker 3: childlike and innocent, but also quite clever and charming and

80
00:04:00,333 --> 00:04:03,373
Speaker 3: perceptive about some of the weird things that us adults do.

81
00:04:04,373 --> 00:04:07,133
Speaker 3: You know. It's very heartwarming, not in an a sweet,

82
00:04:07,373 --> 00:04:10,413
Speaker 3: sickly way. It's just a delight and perfect timing for

83
00:04:10,453 --> 00:04:13,333
Speaker 3: the school holidays. But this isn't just a kids film,

84
00:04:13,373 --> 00:04:15,213
Speaker 3: you know. I don't think you're you're ever too old

85
00:04:15,253 --> 00:04:17,333
Speaker 3: to watch watch a movie like this.

86
00:04:17,493 --> 00:04:20,733
Speaker 2: It's just lovely, fantastic. Okay, this sounds great. Marcel the

87
00:04:20,773 --> 00:04:23,293
Speaker 2: Shell with Shoes On that's on Netflix. Don't say that

88
00:04:23,333 --> 00:04:25,493
Speaker 2: three times fast, it's complicated. And Marcel The Show with
