1 00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,773 Speaker 1: from News Talks at B. 3 00:00:12,973 --> 00:00:15,653 Speaker 2: Twenty three minutes past ten on Newstalks ZEDB. Well, the 4 00:00:15,653 --> 00:00:18,533 Speaker 2: games are officially underwai, although it's that weird thing of course, 5 00:00:18,573 --> 00:00:21,293 Speaker 2: where we've had competition already beginning for some sports, so 6 00:00:21,653 --> 00:00:26,293 Speaker 2: the rugby sevens or the football, those competitions have already begun. 7 00:00:26,373 --> 00:00:29,733 Speaker 2: But the games are officially underway in Paris. And here's 8 00:00:29,773 --> 00:00:31,093 Speaker 2: what you need to know if you're hoping to see 9 00:00:31,093 --> 00:00:33,293 Speaker 2: some kiwis in action. Basically, we don't have to do 10 00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:35,973 Speaker 2: anything during the day. Today seven o'clock tonight though you 11 00:00:36,053 --> 00:00:39,813 Speaker 2: have the heats for the men's single skulls and the rowing, 12 00:00:39,853 --> 00:00:42,573 Speaker 2: so Tom macintosh is competing in that. At the same 13 00:00:42,613 --> 00:00:45,293 Speaker 2: time the eventing team has Day one dressage, so that's 14 00:00:45,373 --> 00:00:49,133 Speaker 2: Janelle Price, Tim Price, Clark Johnston. Just after eight o'clock, 15 00:00:49,173 --> 00:00:52,693 Speaker 2: about ten past eight, you have the rowing single skulls 16 00:00:52,813 --> 00:00:54,773 Speaker 2: women's heats, so Emma twigs up on that. And now 17 00:00:54,773 --> 00:00:57,253 Speaker 2: at nine pm this evening the women's four hundred meter 18 00:00:57,293 --> 00:00:59,733 Speaker 2: freestyle heats. That's the one with eric Afair Weather and 19 00:00:59,813 --> 00:01:04,133 Speaker 2: Eve Thomas. Eric Afea Weather is considered a pretty good 20 00:01:04,253 --> 00:01:07,693 Speaker 2: metal prospect, pretty good shout, although it is an incredible 21 00:01:07,733 --> 00:01:10,973 Speaker 2: field in the women's four hundred meter freestyle. So if 22 00:01:11,053 --> 00:01:13,973 Speaker 2: she and Eve are able to get through the freestyle 23 00:01:14,053 --> 00:01:17,653 Speaker 2: heats this evening, they go to the final tomorrow morning, 24 00:01:17,813 --> 00:01:21,653 Speaker 2: provided they qualify, which is just before seven o'clock in 25 00:01:21,653 --> 00:01:23,533 Speaker 2: the morning New Zealand time, so you might have to 26 00:01:23,573 --> 00:01:26,173 Speaker 2: watch them tonight and then you know, go to bed 27 00:01:26,173 --> 00:01:27,573 Speaker 2: and set your alarm nice and early so you can 28 00:01:27,613 --> 00:01:31,773 Speaker 2: get up and see them tomorrow morning. However, if it 29 00:01:31,893 --> 00:01:34,973 Speaker 2: wasn't enough to keep you entertained this weekend, good news 30 00:01:35,013 --> 00:01:38,173 Speaker 2: Tara awards our screen Time Expert and she's got three 31 00:01:38,253 --> 00:01:40,933 Speaker 2: TV shows to recommend to us this morning. Hey Tara, 32 00:01:41,453 --> 00:01:44,133 Speaker 2: good morning. Let's start off with the show that's streaming 33 00:01:44,173 --> 00:01:47,693 Speaker 2: on Apple TV plus The Taikerway t T. Jermaine Clement 34 00:01:47,853 --> 00:01:50,213 Speaker 2: reboots tell Us about Time Bandits. 35 00:01:51,173 --> 00:01:53,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is a reboot of the fantasy film 36 00:01:53,853 --> 00:01:55,933 Speaker 3: Time Bandits that came out in nineteen eighty one, and 37 00:01:55,973 --> 00:01:58,133 Speaker 3: it's been a remade, as you say by takeaway tt 38 00:01:58,253 --> 00:02:01,133 Speaker 3: Jermaine Clement and Ian Morris from the in Between Us. 39 00:02:01,453 --> 00:02:04,893 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of anticipation and expectations around this series, 40 00:02:04,933 --> 00:02:06,333 Speaker 3: and a lot of it was filmed in New z 41 00:02:06,613 --> 00:02:09,213 Speaker 3: as well, so lots to like already. But it's about 42 00:02:09,253 --> 00:02:11,893 Speaker 3: an eleven year old boy named Kevin who is a 43 00:02:11,933 --> 00:02:15,253 Speaker 3: real history fanatic, and he discovers one night that his 44 00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:17,733 Speaker 3: bedroom is a time portal and he goes off in 45 00:02:17,773 --> 00:02:21,533 Speaker 3: this adventure with a motley group of time traveling thieves 46 00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:24,933 Speaker 3: who are zooming through history stealing different things from different 47 00:02:24,933 --> 00:02:27,933 Speaker 3: time periods, and are lead by Penelope, who's played by 48 00:02:27,933 --> 00:02:31,013 Speaker 3: the wonderful Lisa Kudro and Jamaine Clemmitt plays the villain 49 00:02:31,093 --> 00:02:34,173 Speaker 3: called Pure Evil, who's trying to steal an important map 50 00:02:34,213 --> 00:02:36,813 Speaker 3: from the group of thieves. Now, I hadn't seen the 51 00:02:36,853 --> 00:02:39,213 Speaker 3: original nineteen eighty one film, so I came to this 52 00:02:39,253 --> 00:02:42,093 Speaker 3: with no preconceived ideas, no loyalty to the original, and 53 00:02:42,133 --> 00:02:43,973 Speaker 3: I thought it was a lot of fun. It's definitely 54 00:02:44,013 --> 00:02:46,373 Speaker 3: aimed at kids, but it's a very family friendly watch. 55 00:02:46,413 --> 00:02:48,573 Speaker 3: I watched this with my eleven year old and she 56 00:02:48,693 --> 00:02:51,733 Speaker 3: loved it. We both chuckled our way through it. It's funny, 57 00:02:51,773 --> 00:02:56,173 Speaker 3: it's fast, the humor feels very Monty python esque. You know, 58 00:02:56,173 --> 00:02:58,453 Speaker 3: it's silly, but in a good way, and a real adventure. 59 00:02:58,493 --> 00:03:00,413 Speaker 3: I think kids will love it. It's very clever and 60 00:03:00,453 --> 00:03:03,253 Speaker 3: it's got this wonderfully chaotic feel to it. 61 00:03:03,533 --> 00:03:07,053 Speaker 2: Oh nice, cool, that's time man. It's on Apple Plus, 62 00:03:07,253 --> 00:03:09,413 Speaker 2: streaming on Netflix. The de Cameron. 63 00:03:10,173 --> 00:03:13,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, another historical comedy. This one is definitely for adults. 64 00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:17,093 Speaker 3: It's a dark comedy set in fourteenth century Italy during 65 00:03:17,093 --> 00:03:20,693 Speaker 3: the Black Plague, not traditionally known as a particularly funny 66 00:03:20,693 --> 00:03:23,133 Speaker 3: time in history, but this is about a group of 67 00:03:23,173 --> 00:03:26,333 Speaker 3: aristocrats and servants who, when everyone else is dying in 68 00:03:26,373 --> 00:03:29,053 Speaker 3: the streets, they escaped to a villa in the Italian 69 00:03:29,093 --> 00:03:32,853 Speaker 3: countryside where they intend to use all their privileged wealth 70 00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:35,693 Speaker 3: and wait out the plague. And it's a bit like 71 00:03:35,813 --> 00:03:39,773 Speaker 3: if White Lotus was sillier and set in the thirteen hundreds. 72 00:03:40,013 --> 00:03:42,933 Speaker 3: It's poking fun at the rich. It's about the upstairs, 73 00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:47,173 Speaker 3: downstairs world between the servants and their masters and what 74 00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:49,373 Speaker 3: happens in a crisis when all those rules go out 75 00:03:49,373 --> 00:03:52,253 Speaker 3: the window. And also maybe a little bit of like 76 00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:54,813 Speaker 3: fourteenth century Love Island as well. They're in this sort 77 00:03:54,853 --> 00:03:57,613 Speaker 3: of protected bubble. They wanted to couple off and find 78 00:03:57,653 --> 00:03:59,973 Speaker 3: a match. There was a lot going on here. It's 79 00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,253 Speaker 3: actually based on a collection of short stories that were 80 00:04:02,253 --> 00:04:05,213 Speaker 3: published in the fourteenth century and considered very risque at 81 00:04:05,213 --> 00:04:07,493 Speaker 3: the time. And I think with the success of shows 82 00:04:07,533 --> 00:04:10,813 Speaker 3: like Bridgeton, we're getting a lot of these historical dramas 83 00:04:10,813 --> 00:04:14,053 Speaker 3: and comedies with a modern twist or a modern soundtrack. 84 00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:15,613 Speaker 3: And this is one of those kinds of shows. So 85 00:04:15,973 --> 00:04:19,653 Speaker 3: if you want something light and fascical and completely ridiculous, 86 00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:20,333 Speaker 3: this will do the trick. 87 00:04:20,413 --> 00:04:20,653 Speaker 1: Yeah. 88 00:04:20,733 --> 00:04:23,413 Speaker 2: Nice, cool, that's the De Cameron. So that's on Netflix. 89 00:04:23,813 --> 00:04:26,853 Speaker 2: Also on Netflix. My wife and I streamed this the 90 00:04:26,893 --> 00:04:30,093 Speaker 2: other night. Very exciting. Simone Biles Rising. 91 00:04:30,893 --> 00:04:33,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new documentary series about Simone Biles, who, 92 00:04:33,453 --> 00:04:36,853 Speaker 3: of course is the extraordinary American gymnasts. She is the 93 00:04:36,893 --> 00:04:39,013 Speaker 3: greatest of all times. She's doing moves that no one 94 00:04:39,013 --> 00:04:43,253 Speaker 3: else can. She is incredible. And this documentary series starts 95 00:04:43,253 --> 00:04:47,053 Speaker 3: after the twenty twenty Olympics, which Biles withdrew from during 96 00:04:47,093 --> 00:04:49,933 Speaker 3: the competition because her mental health was suffering. She was 97 00:04:50,213 --> 00:04:53,093 Speaker 3: experiencing the twisties, which is when the gymnast gets lost 98 00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:56,373 Speaker 3: in the air and obviously, excuse me, that's quite dangerous, 99 00:04:56,893 --> 00:04:58,813 Speaker 3: and she copped a lot of criticism for putting her 100 00:04:58,813 --> 00:05:02,053 Speaker 3: mental health first. And the documentary follows her as she 101 00:05:02,093 --> 00:05:05,133 Speaker 3: tries to rebuild her career, to get that confidence back 102 00:05:05,213 --> 00:05:08,133 Speaker 3: and to get to the Paris Olympics. It captures her 103 00:05:08,253 --> 00:05:10,973 Speaker 3: life and her world in a really down to earth, 104 00:05:11,213 --> 00:05:15,813 Speaker 3: understated way. It's a fascinating insight into her talent and 105 00:05:15,893 --> 00:05:19,013 Speaker 3: the pressure that she faces. And every time the Olympics 106 00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:21,653 Speaker 3: comes around, you watch a few different sports and you think, oh, mate, 107 00:05:21,693 --> 00:05:24,173 Speaker 3: I could do that. Maybe it's not too late for me. Yeah, 108 00:05:24,213 --> 00:05:26,653 Speaker 3: this reminds you that, no, you will never ever be 109 00:05:26,773 --> 00:05:31,173 Speaker 3: anywhere as talented as Simone Biles. Just the dedication and 110 00:05:31,253 --> 00:05:34,693 Speaker 3: the sacrifice that she has been through. What an incredible 111 00:05:34,733 --> 00:05:37,373 Speaker 3: athlete and an amazing human being. This is just such 112 00:05:37,373 --> 00:05:38,333 Speaker 3: an ASPIRER watch. 113 00:05:38,453 --> 00:05:41,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. So I like I say, mar 114 00:05:41,613 --> 00:05:43,533 Speaker 2: and I watched this the other night, and I have 115 00:05:43,853 --> 00:05:45,893 Speaker 2: long been a Simone Biles fan. I know that I'm 116 00:05:45,933 --> 00:05:47,893 Speaker 2: hardly unique on that front, but I was very much 117 00:05:47,893 --> 00:05:50,253 Speaker 2: team Simone when in the last game she was like, actually, 118 00:05:50,253 --> 00:05:51,733 Speaker 2: I'm just not in the right place to be doing this, 119 00:05:51,773 --> 00:05:55,133 Speaker 2: because if you are running at full speed and throwing 120 00:05:55,173 --> 00:05:59,013 Speaker 2: yourself backwards into the vault and then doing two full 121 00:05:59,053 --> 00:06:02,733 Speaker 2: flips in a Pike position. I just can't imagine going 122 00:06:02,773 --> 00:06:05,173 Speaker 2: into that not having like, there's no way if you're 123 00:06:05,173 --> 00:06:07,933 Speaker 2: anything less than one hundred percent confident and your own abilities, 124 00:06:07,973 --> 00:06:09,773 Speaker 2: that you're going to land that right. Like, it just 125 00:06:09,773 --> 00:06:12,333 Speaker 2: seems so dangerous and it was kind of a well, 126 00:06:12,373 --> 00:06:14,893 Speaker 2: I think it was quite a brave and mature decision. 127 00:06:15,253 --> 00:06:19,293 Speaker 2: All of that being said, it made me yearn for 128 00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:23,493 Speaker 2: the redemption story so much, like I just wanted to 129 00:06:23,533 --> 00:06:25,773 Speaker 2: win so much because you know, it would just it 130 00:06:25,773 --> 00:06:30,053 Speaker 2: would kind of cap off this incredible sporting athletic fairy tale, 131 00:06:30,053 --> 00:06:32,093 Speaker 2: which I think she deserves and I think anyone who 132 00:06:32,293 --> 00:06:35,893 Speaker 2: watches Simone Biles Rising will agree. Thanks so much, Tara, 133 00:06:36,093 --> 00:06:37,893 Speaker 2: Let me take here and we will catch you soon. 134 00:06:37,973 --> 00:06:41,333 Speaker 2: Taraward is our screen time expert Those Shows Again.
