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 AB.

3
00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:16,333
Speaker 2: It is screen time time on Saturday morning. Carl Pushman

4
00:00:16,453 --> 00:00:19,653
Speaker 2: is here with three shows to recommend for watching or

5
00:00:19,693 --> 00:00:23,253
Speaker 2: streaming at home. This morning. Killed to Carl, Good morning Jack.

6
00:00:23,373 --> 00:00:25,373
Speaker 2: We're going to begin this morning with a show on Netflix,

7
00:00:25,413 --> 00:00:27,853
Speaker 2: tell us about Sean Coombs The Reckoning.

8
00:00:28,773 --> 00:00:32,733
Speaker 3: Now, this is the long awaited, shocking and quite damning

9
00:00:32,813 --> 00:00:37,093
Speaker 3: four part documentary series on disgraced rapper Puff Daddy Sean

10
00:00:37,133 --> 00:00:40,373
Speaker 3: Diddy aka lots of various hip hop names, but we

11
00:00:40,413 --> 00:00:42,613
Speaker 3: all know how I'm talking about. His lawyers had fought

12
00:00:42,613 --> 00:00:45,733
Speaker 3: to get this taken down but were unsuccessful, and once

13
00:00:45,773 --> 00:00:47,733
Speaker 3: you start watching it, you'll see why they didn't want

14
00:00:48,013 --> 00:00:50,733
Speaker 3: people to watch this thing. It was produced by longtime

15
00:00:50,853 --> 00:00:53,773
Speaker 3: rival fifty cent, and there was speculation that it would

16
00:00:53,813 --> 00:00:57,173
Speaker 3: be an over the top tabloid style hit job, but

17
00:00:57,253 --> 00:01:00,573
Speaker 3: it's not. Instead, it's a deeply researched, highly credible, and

18
00:01:00,733 --> 00:01:06,053
Speaker 3: quite uncompromising expose on this disgraced rapper, charts's rise to fame,

19
00:01:06,453 --> 00:01:09,413
Speaker 3: how he built his empire and also the criminal, violent

20
00:01:09,453 --> 00:01:12,173
Speaker 3: ways that he kept it. And of course along with that,

21
00:01:12,373 --> 00:01:16,493
Speaker 3: there is all the horrific sexual abuse allegations and that

22
00:01:16,573 --> 00:01:19,093
Speaker 3: kind of thing that he was also involved in. It

23
00:01:19,173 --> 00:01:21,253
Speaker 3: starts as his childhood and goes right through to the

24
00:01:21,293 --> 00:01:24,573
Speaker 3: present day, where he's currently serving fifty months in a

25
00:01:24,653 --> 00:01:30,653
Speaker 3: federal prison, and he's also got a whole range of

26
00:01:30,973 --> 00:01:33,573
Speaker 3: civil cases waiting for him when that happens. With all

27
00:01:33,573 --> 00:01:37,373
Speaker 3: these allegations, it's damning and horrific what that guy's been

28
00:01:37,453 --> 00:01:41,653
Speaker 3: up to. The documentary makers, they interviewed an impressive number

29
00:01:41,653 --> 00:01:44,413
Speaker 3: of people from his life, you know, associates, former friends,

30
00:01:44,493 --> 00:01:49,253
Speaker 3: former enemies, journalists, business partners, gang members, entourage members, just

31
00:01:49,373 --> 00:01:51,253
Speaker 3: anyone who's had anything to do with this guy has

32
00:01:51,293 --> 00:01:53,773
Speaker 3: been spoken to. And many of these people have been

33
00:01:53,773 --> 00:01:55,893
Speaker 3: too scared to speak out before because he had such

34
00:01:56,013 --> 00:01:58,213
Speaker 3: power in the industry. You know, we often think of

35
00:01:58,213 --> 00:02:00,493
Speaker 3: puff Daddy as the joke rapper from the nineties, but

36
00:02:00,533 --> 00:02:04,893
Speaker 3: he was a serious, unpleasant person in a lot of ways,

37
00:02:04,893 --> 00:02:09,013
Speaker 3: and people were genuinely scared to the sky. The documentary

38
00:02:09,053 --> 00:02:14,173
Speaker 3: is filled with fascinating archival footage, loads of it previously unseen.

39
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:19,213
Speaker 3: But what's also remarkable is that it's got daily video

40
00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:22,813
Speaker 3: footage from the week before he went to stand trial.

41
00:02:23,013 --> 00:02:24,973
Speaker 3: Because he was trying to make a documentary that would

42
00:02:25,133 --> 00:02:28,293
Speaker 3: show his innocence and sway the court of public opinion

43
00:02:28,373 --> 00:02:31,453
Speaker 3: over to him, and this is in the documentary. So

44
00:02:31,493 --> 00:02:33,013
Speaker 3: it's just mind blowing out.

45
00:02:33,013 --> 00:02:33,173
Speaker 2: Wow.

46
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:36,813
Speaker 3: It's a hard hitting documentary. It's a powerful watch. But

47
00:02:36,853 --> 00:02:38,613
Speaker 3: by no means is it an easy watch. But I

48
00:02:38,733 --> 00:02:40,653
Speaker 3: think it's definitely worth everyone's time.

49
00:02:40,973 --> 00:02:44,253
Speaker 2: Sounds very interesting. Okay, that's Sean Combs The Reckoning. It's

50
00:02:44,293 --> 00:02:47,373
Speaker 2: on Netflix, on TV and Z plus twenty five years

51
00:02:47,413 --> 00:02:48,973
Speaker 2: of Location, Location Location.

52
00:02:49,573 --> 00:02:51,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's pull the handbrake up and go from not

53
00:02:51,093 --> 00:02:54,053
Speaker 3: an easy watch to a totally breezy watch, you know.

54
00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:56,733
Speaker 3: Let's go back two thousand. The PlayStation two had just

55
00:02:56,773 --> 00:02:59,733
Speaker 3: come out, Britney Spears had just released Upside Did It Again,

56
00:02:59,733 --> 00:03:01,853
Speaker 3: which had gone to number one in our charts. In

57
00:03:01,853 --> 00:03:04,693
Speaker 3: a reality show called The Great house Hunt about two

58
00:03:04,693 --> 00:03:07,693
Speaker 3: property finders helping people by their dream home was about

59
00:03:07,693 --> 00:03:10,173
Speaker 3: to debut. Before it hit the screens, there's a quick

60
00:03:10,253 --> 00:03:13,253
Speaker 3: name change to Location, Location, Location, because one of the

61
00:03:13,253 --> 00:03:16,653
Speaker 3: hosts frequently stumbled saying the Great house Hunt as I

62
00:03:16,813 --> 00:03:18,613
Speaker 3: almost am now, and you can see how that could

63
00:03:18,653 --> 00:03:23,133
Speaker 3: have quite an unfortunate rhyming skin going on there the rest.

64
00:03:23,133 --> 00:03:24,733
Speaker 3: As they say, it's history. It's been going for twenty

65
00:03:24,733 --> 00:03:28,733
Speaker 3: five years. Popularity has not declined whatsoever. It's just such

66
00:03:28,733 --> 00:03:32,773
Speaker 3: an easy to watch show and frequently fascinating watching the

67
00:03:32,853 --> 00:03:35,933
Speaker 3: various couples they have on there, or person whoever they've

68
00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:38,653
Speaker 3: got trying to buy their dream home. They take into

69
00:03:38,693 --> 00:03:42,493
Speaker 3: three different properties, try and convince them which one is great,

70
00:03:42,493 --> 00:03:47,693
Speaker 3: and it's just fascinating watching people justify properties or dismiss

71
00:03:47,733 --> 00:03:50,493
Speaker 3: properties based on not much more than whims or vibes,

72
00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:52,933
Speaker 3: which you know, a show could house could tick all

73
00:03:52,973 --> 00:03:54,933
Speaker 3: the boxes, but they're just not feeling it, which is

74
00:03:54,933 --> 00:03:59,373
Speaker 3: what house hunting is like. And yeah, it's a show

75
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:00,733
Speaker 3: that I never really went out of my way to

76
00:04:00,733 --> 00:04:02,653
Speaker 3: watch over its twenty five years, but I've watched a

77
00:04:02,693 --> 00:04:05,013
Speaker 3: lot of it because if it was on, it was

78
00:04:05,053 --> 00:04:07,493
Speaker 3: just so easy to watch it get sucked into the.

79
00:04:07,453 --> 00:04:10,653
Speaker 2: Jury exactly, exactly, Yeah, but not.

80
00:04:10,613 --> 00:04:12,573
Speaker 3: So secret source of the show was the chemistry between

81
00:04:12,613 --> 00:04:15,693
Speaker 3: the two hosts, Kirsty and Phil, and you know that's

82
00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:17,693
Speaker 3: tried to be replicated. We've got a local version which

83
00:04:17,693 --> 00:04:19,133
Speaker 3: came out a few months ago, and they've tried to

84
00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:23,653
Speaker 3: replicate that chemistry that's sort of like jokey Bantry antagonism,

85
00:04:23,813 --> 00:04:26,373
Speaker 3: but that hasn't quite worked as well, so they're a

86
00:04:26,453 --> 00:04:28,213
Speaker 3: not so secret source behind the show. But it's just

87
00:04:28,333 --> 00:04:31,093
Speaker 3: a breezy light show. This is a nice twenty five

88
00:04:31,173 --> 00:04:34,333
Speaker 3: year anniversary. It shows you all the highlights from the show,

89
00:04:34,373 --> 00:04:36,533
Speaker 3: their reflect on how the UK housing market and social

90
00:04:36,573 --> 00:04:40,173
Speaker 3: conditions have dramatically shifted, which of course has the parallels here.

91
00:04:40,533 --> 00:04:42,133
Speaker 3: So you can either just sit back and watch it

92
00:04:42,213 --> 00:04:44,813
Speaker 3: and enjoy the nostalgia, or it's also you know, a

93
00:04:44,853 --> 00:04:47,133
Speaker 3: little bit of a documentary of social change and how

94
00:04:47,213 --> 00:04:49,453
Speaker 3: technology and fashion and all that stuff has changed so

95
00:04:49,533 --> 00:04:52,293
Speaker 3: dramatically in twenty five years. So just a nice fun

96
00:04:52,413 --> 00:04:53,093
Speaker 3: little watch there.

97
00:04:53,373 --> 00:04:56,613
Speaker 2: Very good. Okay, that's twenty five years of location, location Location.

98
00:04:56,693 --> 00:04:59,413
Speaker 2: It's on TV and Z Plus and on Skygo. The

99
00:04:59,453 --> 00:05:01,013
Speaker 2: new season of south Park.

100
00:05:01,853 --> 00:05:04,413
Speaker 3: Oh and the gloves have come off in this new

101
00:05:04,453 --> 00:05:07,933
Speaker 3: season of south Park. They are going for it. In

102
00:05:07,973 --> 00:05:09,173
Speaker 3: my view, the only good to come out of the

103
00:05:09,173 --> 00:05:11,573
Speaker 3: second Trump presidency is the fuse that is lit under

104
00:05:11,573 --> 00:05:14,853
Speaker 3: the creative team of South Park, because they are just

105
00:05:15,093 --> 00:05:20,773
Speaker 3: off the chain at the moment, politically satirizing, just an

106
00:05:20,773 --> 00:05:24,933
Speaker 3: abiting and brutal fashion, especially the time when In America

107
00:05:24,973 --> 00:05:26,613
Speaker 3: talked to Her. Hosts are being pulled off the air

108
00:05:26,653 --> 00:05:29,853
Speaker 3: for sort of mild political jokes. TV networks are spending

109
00:05:29,853 --> 00:05:33,933
Speaker 3: millions of dollars sitting settling fairly frivolous court cases against

110
00:05:33,973 --> 00:05:38,373
Speaker 3: them by the administration. South Park is just fearlessly satirizing

111
00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:40,853
Speaker 3: the federal government at the moment, and in a way

112
00:05:40,853 --> 00:05:45,333
Speaker 3: that's truly defiant, gleef and gleefully brutal, you know. And

113
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:49,053
Speaker 3: when it comes to Trump, specifically exuberantly obscene, it's just

114
00:05:49,173 --> 00:05:51,933
Speaker 3: a giant middle finger. So, I mean, at this point

115
00:05:51,973 --> 00:05:54,453
Speaker 3: we all know what South Pak is. If you have

116
00:05:54,653 --> 00:05:56,293
Speaker 3: been checked out for a little while, because it has

117
00:05:56,293 --> 00:05:57,893
Speaker 3: been going for so long that it's easy just to

118
00:05:58,293 --> 00:06:00,413
Speaker 3: not watch it. If you ever did like it, now

119
00:06:00,533 --> 00:06:02,293
Speaker 3: is a great time to jump back in because it

120
00:06:02,373 --> 00:06:08,013
Speaker 3: is just top notch. It is so funny, so satirizing,

121
00:06:08,133 --> 00:06:10,413
Speaker 3: just all the stuff that it makes it great. It

122
00:06:10,493 --> 00:06:11,813
Speaker 3: is there right now. Yeah.

123
00:06:11,973 --> 00:06:14,293
Speaker 2: It's the thing I love about South Pak is they

124
00:06:14,493 --> 00:06:19,013
Speaker 2: truly are equal opportunity satirists, but they just tease everyone.

125
00:06:19,053 --> 00:06:23,133
Speaker 2: They target everyone of every kind of political dimension, every sphere,

126
00:06:23,253 --> 00:06:27,453
Speaker 2: every cultural tear. I totally agree. I think South Park

127
00:06:27,533 --> 00:06:30,053
Speaker 2: is outstanding. Thank you so much, Carl So. South Park

128
00:06:30,133 --> 00:06:33,293
Speaker 2: is on Skygo twenty five years of Location. Location Location
