1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,693
Speaker 1: from News Talks at Me.

3
00:00:14,613 --> 00:00:15,733
Speaker 2: I Still.

4
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:40,893
Speaker 3: Are. It's versus Are We Dead? By Liberty, and it's

5
00:00:40,933 --> 00:00:43,813
Speaker 3: an interesting little story behind this, So can we Music

6
00:00:43,853 --> 00:00:46,813
Speaker 3: Georgia Lyons launched a competition earlier this year to try

7
00:00:46,813 --> 00:00:49,973
Speaker 3: and highlight independent artists and give them a bit of

8
00:00:49,973 --> 00:00:53,013
Speaker 3: industry to support a few more resources, and the winner

9
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,693
Speaker 3: of the competition was Liberty. This is her brand new track.

10
00:00:55,693 --> 00:00:58,253
Speaker 3: It's called Are We Dead? It came out this week

11
00:00:58,333 --> 00:01:01,173
Speaker 3: and yeah, I reckon. Given all that, Liberty is probably

12
00:01:01,173 --> 00:01:03,053
Speaker 3: going to be one to watch on the New Zealand

13
00:01:03,133 --> 00:01:06,893
Speaker 3: music scene this year. Hey, thank you for your feedback, Jack.

14
00:01:07,053 --> 00:01:10,493
Speaker 3: Regarding the trade war, come on, be honest, is this

15
00:01:10,653 --> 00:01:13,373
Speaker 3: all bad for New Zealand? Our dollars dropped, our interstrates

16
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:15,933
Speaker 3: are down, and we'll go down further. We only got

17
00:01:15,973 --> 00:01:18,133
Speaker 3: a ten percent tariff key we exports are lately to

18
00:01:18,213 --> 00:01:20,093
Speaker 3: absorb that. In the short term, the rest of the

19
00:01:20,093 --> 00:01:21,733
Speaker 3: world will want to do more with us as they

20
00:01:21,773 --> 00:01:24,813
Speaker 3: move away from the US, especially China. Yes, global demand

21
00:01:24,853 --> 00:01:28,013
Speaker 3: will weaken, but we're small. We're just a tiny, tiny

22
00:01:28,053 --> 00:01:29,973
Speaker 3: piece of the puzzle and all we need is a

23
00:01:30,013 --> 00:01:32,653
Speaker 3: little bit more love to move our way. Much different

24
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:37,493
Speaker 3: story for Canada, for Mexico, for other countries, et cetera. Look,

25
00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:41,733
Speaker 3: I suppose relative to lots of other countries, New Zealand

26
00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:45,373
Speaker 3: is in a good position, right, you know, you know,

27
00:01:45,453 --> 00:01:48,773
Speaker 3: relative to the countries that have tariffs of thirty percent,

28
00:01:48,853 --> 00:01:51,653
Speaker 3: say a ten percent tariff doesn't seem so bad. And

29
00:01:51,693 --> 00:01:55,293
Speaker 3: you could say that compared to some of our competing

30
00:01:55,373 --> 00:01:58,693
Speaker 3: exporters when it comes to things like wine in the US,

31
00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:01,533
Speaker 3: like we did better than the EU, So you could say, well,

32
00:02:01,573 --> 00:02:03,813
Speaker 3: actually we're in a stronger position than we were. But

33
00:02:03,853 --> 00:02:07,293
Speaker 3: I suppose Donald Trump's big purpose on these terrorists to

34
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:13,133
Speaker 3: try and drive domestic production and demand in the US.

35
00:02:13,213 --> 00:02:16,013
Speaker 3: So you've got to remember it's New Zealand exports versus

36
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:19,133
Speaker 3: what is being produced in the US. But yep, I

37
00:02:19,133 --> 00:02:21,813
Speaker 3: guess we don't know fully the exact extent to the

38
00:02:21,853 --> 00:02:25,573
Speaker 3: effect here, except to say that anyone with a key

39
00:02:25,613 --> 00:02:29,173
Speaker 3: we saver or anyone with shares is looking at really

40
00:02:29,213 --> 00:02:32,653
Speaker 3: significant losses at the moment. And some people even reckon

41
00:02:33,293 --> 00:02:35,973
Speaker 3: that we could be facing a global recession which would

42
00:02:36,013 --> 00:02:38,813
Speaker 3: certainly impact New Zealand. But yeah, I guess we have

43
00:02:38,853 --> 00:02:40,413
Speaker 3: to wait and see ninety two. Ninety two is the

44
00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:42,413
Speaker 3: text number if you want to send us a message

45
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:44,813
Speaker 3: this morning Jacket newsbalks hed b dot co dot NZ.

46
00:02:45,053 --> 00:02:47,133
Speaker 3: It is twenty four minutes to ten, which means it's

47
00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:49,773
Speaker 3: time to catch up with Francisca Rudkin for her film

48
00:02:49,853 --> 00:02:54,933
Speaker 3: picks this weekend More than a Francisca Good morning. Okay,

49
00:02:54,973 --> 00:02:57,053
Speaker 3: we have two different movies. Both of them are on

50
00:02:57,093 --> 00:02:58,933
Speaker 3: at the Movies at the moment, So let's start off

51
00:02:58,933 --> 00:03:01,293
Speaker 3: with a little listen to Novacane.

52
00:03:01,693 --> 00:03:05,573
Speaker 1: So on deal, I'm just.

53
00:03:05,533 --> 00:03:08,533
Speaker 2: A regular guy with a regular job, but I've got

54
00:03:08,533 --> 00:03:13,733
Speaker 2: this condition where I don't feel pain. Oh you're a superhero.

55
00:03:14,893 --> 00:03:17,053
Speaker 3: Okay, that's Novakaane. Tell us about it, Francisca.

56
00:03:17,773 --> 00:03:19,253
Speaker 4: So this is a bit of an action comedy.

57
00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:22,013
Speaker 2: It stars Jack Quaid, son of Meg Meg Ryan and

58
00:03:22,053 --> 00:03:23,933
Speaker 2: Dennis Quaid, and he's a really charming lead.

59
00:03:23,973 --> 00:03:24,613
Speaker 4: Here is Nathan.

60
00:03:24,693 --> 00:03:29,333
Speaker 2: He really sort of fits the character beautifully. He plays

61
00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:31,693
Speaker 2: this nerdy assistant bank manager. He's got a crush on

62
00:03:31,693 --> 00:03:35,133
Speaker 2: one of his bank employees, Sherry, played by Amber mid Thunder.

63
00:03:35,613 --> 00:03:38,773
Speaker 2: And as you heard in the trailer, there the gimmick

64
00:03:38,853 --> 00:03:41,733
Speaker 2: or the main joking. The spell is that Nathan has

65
00:03:41,813 --> 00:03:45,053
Speaker 2: this rare genetic disorder that means he can't feel pain.

66
00:03:45,133 --> 00:03:47,453
Speaker 2: And while you might think to yourself, wow, that is

67
00:03:47,533 --> 00:03:51,173
Speaker 2: quite a cool superpower, turns out it's actually really inconvenient

68
00:03:51,253 --> 00:03:54,373
Speaker 2: and very limiting Jack because of course, he has to

69
00:03:54,453 --> 00:03:58,333
Speaker 2: live this really controlled life because he doesn't know when he.

70
00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:00,013
Speaker 4: Is seriously injured himself.

71
00:04:00,053 --> 00:04:02,893
Speaker 2: So, for example, his parents wouldn't let him eat solid

72
00:04:02,933 --> 00:04:05,093
Speaker 2: food for fear of biting his tongue off and not

73
00:04:05,213 --> 00:04:08,813
Speaker 2: knowing he's got tennis balls on all the corners of

74
00:04:08,853 --> 00:04:12,213
Speaker 2: furniture because he can, you know, hurt. But he has

75
00:04:12,253 --> 00:04:14,373
Speaker 2: to set an alarm to go the loo because he

76
00:04:14,413 --> 00:04:16,573
Speaker 2: doesn't feel when his bladder is full sort of thing.

77
00:04:16,653 --> 00:04:20,933
Speaker 2: So it's actually quite limiting, not hugely convenient super power

78
00:04:20,973 --> 00:04:23,973
Speaker 2: to have. Anyway, there's this robbery at the bank and

79
00:04:24,013 --> 00:04:27,013
Speaker 2: Sherry has taken hostage, and Nathan has fallen madly in

80
00:04:27,053 --> 00:04:29,733
Speaker 2: love with Sherry, and he decides to actually put his

81
00:04:29,893 --> 00:04:32,133
Speaker 2: life on the line to get her back. Finally, he's

82
00:04:32,173 --> 00:04:34,213
Speaker 2: decided he's just going to get out there and go

83
00:04:34,253 --> 00:04:37,413
Speaker 2: for it, and off he does. So the rest of

84
00:04:37,453 --> 00:04:40,733
Speaker 2: the film, it's just a series of inventive ways to

85
00:04:40,933 --> 00:04:47,893
Speaker 2: injure Nathan, and it's very brutal, it's pretty violent. This

86
00:04:48,013 --> 00:04:51,733
Speaker 2: whole this whole sort of premise gives the filmmakers lots

87
00:04:51,773 --> 00:04:56,773
Speaker 2: of room to come up with creative ways to injure

88
00:04:56,893 --> 00:04:59,253
Speaker 2: and hurt Nathan, and they really do go to town

89
00:04:59,293 --> 00:05:01,413
Speaker 2: on it. And there is some sense that I actually

90
00:05:02,013 --> 00:05:05,413
Speaker 2: couldn't watch as he being you know, fish's bullets out

91
00:05:05,413 --> 00:05:10,813
Speaker 2: of his body and does the anyway, it's really good fun.

92
00:05:11,013 --> 00:05:13,133
Speaker 4: It is light. It's a little bit different.

93
00:05:13,613 --> 00:05:15,733
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, it is an action comedy, but it's

94
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,773
Speaker 2: also a romantic comedy, and I like the fact they've

95
00:05:18,773 --> 00:05:20,853
Speaker 2: tried to kind of come up with the romantic comedy

96
00:05:20,893 --> 00:05:22,573
Speaker 2: that's got a bit of a different edge to it.

97
00:05:22,973 --> 00:05:26,773
Speaker 2: I didn't think it quite came together as well as

98
00:05:26,773 --> 00:05:29,333
Speaker 2: it could, and that might be because they were largely

99
00:05:29,373 --> 00:05:32,573
Speaker 2: relying on one gag throughout the whole film, and some

100
00:05:32,613 --> 00:05:35,893
Speaker 2: of them, you know, they executed that better at sometimes

101
00:05:36,013 --> 00:05:38,293
Speaker 2: not so well at other times. So that gets a

102
00:05:38,333 --> 00:05:41,093
Speaker 2: little bit tiring. And I wasn't one hundred percent sure

103
00:05:41,093 --> 00:05:45,293
Speaker 2: about that, the romantic spark between the two leads. But otherwise,

104
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:49,253
Speaker 2: if you would like some fun escapism, to forget about

105
00:05:49,293 --> 00:05:50,773
Speaker 2: the world this week, Jack.

106
00:05:50,573 --> 00:05:53,333
Speaker 4: Then I can seriously recommend it, and I became very good.

107
00:05:53,453 --> 00:05:56,133
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, So that's showing in cinemas at the moment.

108
00:05:56,213 --> 00:06:01,013
Speaker 3: Also showing in cinemas a Minecraft movie.

109
00:06:03,053 --> 00:06:04,013
Speaker 1: In the Overworld.

110
00:06:04,733 --> 00:06:07,093
Speaker 2: Wow, anything you can bring I'm about.

111
00:06:08,373 --> 00:06:12,373
Speaker 1: You can create some book all this, Yeah, most of

112
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:15,613
Speaker 1: it light here was perfect.

113
00:06:16,813 --> 00:06:21,413
Speaker 2: So one day Flint and Steel we came across.

114
00:06:21,813 --> 00:06:27,013
Speaker 3: So another Okay, got some big names in this Jason memoir,

115
00:06:27,173 --> 00:06:29,653
Speaker 3: Jack Black, Jermaine Clements for a minder.

116
00:06:31,053 --> 00:06:33,973
Speaker 2: Hey, has Tara spoken to you? Have you come across

117
00:06:33,973 --> 00:06:36,213
Speaker 2: the new Apple TV show called The Studio yet?

118
00:06:37,013 --> 00:06:38,253
Speaker 3: Ah? Yes, yes we have.

119
00:06:38,613 --> 00:06:41,813
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the satire. It's the satire on Hollywood movie studios.

120
00:06:41,893 --> 00:06:42,013
Speaker 4: Right.

121
00:06:42,053 --> 00:06:44,893
Speaker 2: And in the early AP's the studio owner. He says

122
00:06:44,933 --> 00:06:47,573
Speaker 2: to his new president, who really wants to make quality films.

123
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:49,453
Speaker 2: He says, Okay, I want to make a movie as

124
00:06:49,453 --> 00:06:51,293
Speaker 2: big as Barbie. And he comes up with this idea

125
00:06:51,333 --> 00:06:55,213
Speaker 2: to make a film based on the Cool aid Man.

126
00:06:55,333 --> 00:06:58,053
Speaker 2: And and so this new president is sort of devastated

127
00:06:58,053 --> 00:07:00,293
Speaker 2: that he wants to do this kind of populist kind

128
00:07:00,333 --> 00:07:04,173
Speaker 2: of film. The marketing executive is ecstatic and says, I

129
00:07:04,173 --> 00:07:06,973
Speaker 2: can make so much money out of this one, and

130
00:07:07,013 --> 00:07:09,533
Speaker 2: it kind of looks at that dilemma that Hollywood faces,

131
00:07:09,533 --> 00:07:12,493
Speaker 2: creatives wanting to be creatives and studios and suits wanting

132
00:07:12,773 --> 00:07:15,573
Speaker 2: to make lots of money. And I did think to myself,

133
00:07:15,653 --> 00:07:17,813
Speaker 2: it's a little unfortunate in the week that this sort

134
00:07:17,853 --> 00:07:20,053
Speaker 2: of TV series has kind of hit and we're all

135
00:07:20,093 --> 00:07:22,493
Speaker 2: talking about it. We have a film about one of

136
00:07:22,493 --> 00:07:27,453
Speaker 2: the biggest, most popular video games around has been released,

137
00:07:28,213 --> 00:07:31,813
Speaker 2: shot entirely in New Zealand. Huntley stands in for Idaho,

138
00:07:31,933 --> 00:07:34,093
Speaker 2: but this is so totally New Zealand.

139
00:07:34,133 --> 00:07:37,013
Speaker 4: Every key we will go to ango. This is so key.

140
00:07:37,013 --> 00:07:39,213
Speaker 4: We You've even got the Hunty power station in the background.

141
00:07:39,213 --> 00:07:43,613
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, as you mentioned, absolutely fantastic parts jack Back

142
00:07:43,693 --> 00:07:44,253
Speaker 2: and just Mamore.

143
00:07:44,333 --> 00:07:47,653
Speaker 4: They really ham it up in this film. They even

144
00:07:47,733 --> 00:07:48,813
Speaker 4: break into a song.

145
00:07:48,973 --> 00:07:50,933
Speaker 2: I think the performances are very much aimed at the

146
00:07:50,973 --> 00:07:57,053
Speaker 2: young audiences. Look, I am fond of Minecraft. My children

147
00:07:57,293 --> 00:07:59,293
Speaker 2: loved playing it when they were younger. I'm not so

148
00:07:59,413 --> 00:08:02,613
Speaker 2: familiar with it anymore. I like the way that it

149
00:08:02,653 --> 00:08:05,133
Speaker 2: allowed them to be creative, you know, like it's.

150
00:08:04,933 --> 00:08:09,173
Speaker 4: Like Lego game, but it's not really my world.

151
00:08:09,253 --> 00:08:12,053
Speaker 2: So I can't tell you now whether this sort of

152
00:08:12,293 --> 00:08:17,013
Speaker 2: is loyal to the Minecraft game as it is today,

153
00:08:17,333 --> 00:08:19,373
Speaker 2: but I don't really think it's aimed at me. I

154
00:08:19,413 --> 00:08:21,733
Speaker 2: do think this film is aimed at the young audience,

155
00:08:21,773 --> 00:08:24,093
Speaker 2: who are going to absolutely love this over the holidays.

156
00:08:24,413 --> 00:08:27,413
Speaker 2: It is a very simple story. The premise is pretty straightforward.

157
00:08:27,453 --> 00:08:31,293
Speaker 2: They go on a mission in the overworld and to

158
00:08:31,373 --> 00:08:33,493
Speaker 2: try and escape back to the real world.

159
00:08:33,813 --> 00:08:36,853
Speaker 4: It's got all the all.

160
00:08:36,693 --> 00:08:39,693
Speaker 2: The characters and all the objects and the treasures that

161
00:08:40,173 --> 00:08:42,213
Speaker 2: feature in the game pop up, and it was lovely

162
00:08:42,213 --> 00:08:43,973
Speaker 2: to hear the kids all around you kind of get

163
00:08:44,013 --> 00:08:47,973
Speaker 2: excited when they saw things and can relate to things.

164
00:08:48,573 --> 00:08:53,533
Speaker 2: But really probably pretty simplistic actually, and it's.

165
00:08:54,933 --> 00:08:55,973
Speaker 4: I mean especial effects.

166
00:08:56,093 --> 00:08:59,373
Speaker 2: I thought were really a very highly stylized world. I

167
00:08:59,413 --> 00:09:01,973
Speaker 2: thought they sort of got the esthetic. They did their

168
00:09:01,973 --> 00:09:06,333
Speaker 2: aesthetic really well, and the live action slips into that brilliantly,

169
00:09:06,533 --> 00:09:09,253
Speaker 2: and that can be really hard to do to make

170
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:11,853
Speaker 2: you feel like the live action is taking place in

171
00:09:11,973 --> 00:09:15,413
Speaker 2: such a highly stylized world. Of course, sort of shot

172
00:09:15,453 --> 00:09:17,493
Speaker 2: against the green screen, so they've done a really good

173
00:09:17,573 --> 00:09:20,053
Speaker 2: job there. But I think this will be huge fun

174
00:09:20,093 --> 00:09:21,173
Speaker 2: for the clubs these holidays.

175
00:09:21,253 --> 00:09:22,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which is not a bad thing at all,

176
00:09:22,973 --> 00:09:27,093

186
00:09:52,653 --> 00:09:55,893
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carr, who I just I love. Jimmy Carr is

187
00:09:56,213 --> 00:09:58,613
Speaker 3: still kind of a unique comedian, right just with those

188
00:09:58,613 --> 00:10:01,093
Speaker 3: one liners, the snappy one liners. Friend of the show

189
00:10:01,173 --> 00:10:03,293
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carr of course, anyway's got this brand new show

190
00:10:03,773 --> 00:10:07,613
Speaker 3: where he gets heaps of other UK medians and they

191
00:10:07,613 --> 00:10:10,893
Speaker 3: all have to just compete in a really simple challenge.

192
00:10:10,893 --> 00:10:14,173
Speaker 3: So basically they've got to make other people laugh whilst

193
00:10:14,973 --> 00:10:18,333
Speaker 3: themselves keeping a really straight face so they can't move.

194
00:10:18,373 --> 00:10:21,213
Speaker 3: They can't react. They've got to make other people laugh.

195
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:23,293
Speaker 3: And yeah, anyway, we're gonna tell you about the show

196
