If 4 00:00:14,973 --> 00:00:18,373 Speaker 2: you're looking for something good to watch or stream this weekend, 5 00:00:18,573 --> 00:00:23,333 Speaker 2: good news. Tara Ward, our screen time expert, has her recommendations. Hetara, 6 00:00:23,733 --> 00:00:27,053 Speaker 2: good morning. Okay, three very different shows to talk about. 7 00:00:27,133 --> 00:00:30,173 Speaker 2: Let's start off with a show that's streaming on three now. 8 00:00:30,213 --> 00:00:31,653 Speaker 2: Tell us about Red Eye. 9 00:00:32,213 --> 00:00:34,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're looking for something a bit far fetched 10 00:00:34,773 --> 00:00:37,533 Speaker 3: and ridiculous but also quite enjoyable this weekend, this is 11 00:00:37,573 --> 00:00:40,493 Speaker 3: my wreck. This is Red Eye. It's a British thriller 12 00:00:40,773 --> 00:00:43,813 Speaker 3: and it's about an English doctor who is returning from 13 00:00:43,853 --> 00:00:46,213 Speaker 3: a work trip to China and when he lands in 14 00:00:46,253 --> 00:00:49,213 Speaker 3: the UK, he's arrested for murder and is extradited back 15 00:00:49,253 --> 00:00:51,773 Speaker 3: on a flight to China to face his crime. Now, 16 00:00:51,813 --> 00:00:54,573 Speaker 3: the doctor says he's innocent, he says he's being framed, 17 00:00:54,653 --> 00:00:56,693 Speaker 3: and on the flight back, most of the show takes 18 00:00:56,733 --> 00:00:59,853 Speaker 3: place on the plane itself. Weird things start to happen. 19 00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:03,653 Speaker 3: There are mysterious deaths, there are poisonings, and the detective 20 00:01:03,653 --> 00:01:06,133 Speaker 3: who's taking the doctor on the flight has to try 21 00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:08,093 Speaker 3: and work out what's going on? And it's that whole 22 00:01:08,133 --> 00:01:10,493 Speaker 3: idea that you know, you're on this confined space for 23 00:01:10,853 --> 00:01:13,653 Speaker 3: several hours. How can all these strange things be happening? Now? 24 00:01:13,653 --> 00:01:15,693 Speaker 3: The thing about Red Eye is that you will need 25 00:01:15,733 --> 00:01:19,453 Speaker 3: to suspend disbelief big time. Things happen in this that 26 00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:22,653 Speaker 3: are completely implausible. There are so many plot holes. But 27 00:01:22,733 --> 00:01:26,013 Speaker 3: I think if you go in with you know, lower expectations. 28 00:01:26,013 --> 00:01:29,053 Speaker 3: It's not Sunday Masterpiece theater. This is a fun little thriller. 29 00:01:29,133 --> 00:01:32,213 Speaker 3: It's fast paced, it's bingeable, it's entertaining. It's a bit 30 00:01:32,253 --> 00:01:33,973 Speaker 3: of fun that you shouldn't take too seriously. 31 00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:36,493 Speaker 2: Nice, Okay, cool. That's on three now. The show is 32 00:01:36,493 --> 00:01:39,693 Speaker 2: called red Eye on Disney Plus. Under the Bridge. 33 00:01:40,213 --> 00:01:42,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, a much more darker, more serious drama this time. 34 00:01:42,733 --> 00:01:45,453 Speaker 3: This is a true crime series and it's based on 35 00:01:46,013 --> 00:01:48,733 Speaker 3: a murder that took place in nineteen ninety seven and 36 00:01:48,773 --> 00:01:51,933 Speaker 3: British Columbia and Canada. And the show follows a journalist 37 00:01:51,973 --> 00:01:54,813 Speaker 3: who's writing a book about a foster home for girls 38 00:01:54,853 --> 00:01:56,773 Speaker 3: in her hometown and what it's like to be one 39 00:01:56,773 --> 00:01:59,573 Speaker 3: of these teenagers. And at the same time as she's 40 00:01:59,613 --> 00:02:02,293 Speaker 3: writing the book, a local teenager goes missing and has 41 00:02:02,333 --> 00:02:05,293 Speaker 3: found murdered, and the journalist starts to realize that the 42 00:02:05,293 --> 00:02:08,493 Speaker 3: girls that she's interviewed from the Foster home linked to 43 00:02:08,533 --> 00:02:11,933 Speaker 3: the crime. It stars Lily Gladstone actually Punjabi from The 44 00:02:11,933 --> 00:02:14,133 Speaker 3: Good Fight, and Riley Keoh who was in Daisy and in 45 00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:16,573 Speaker 3: The Six So it's got a great cast. And it's 46 00:02:16,613 --> 00:02:18,973 Speaker 3: quite a heavy story, of course, because the crime was 47 00:02:19,013 --> 00:02:21,973 Speaker 3: quite shocking at the time, and you know, it has 48 00:02:22,013 --> 00:02:24,693 Speaker 3: this sort of fitting gloomy and dark feel to it, 49 00:02:24,773 --> 00:02:26,813 Speaker 3: but also quite compelling as well. And I think if 50 00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:30,053 Speaker 3: you like, you know, those dark true crime dramas like 51 00:02:30,093 --> 00:02:33,573 Speaker 3: The Staircase or The Act or Under the Banner of Heaven, 52 00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:34,853 Speaker 3: I think you'll enjoy this as well. 53 00:02:34,893 --> 00:02:37,453 Speaker 2: Cool okay, And the show that I love on Netflix 54 00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:39,093 Speaker 2: Tour de France Unchained. 55 00:02:39,853 --> 00:02:41,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is back for a second season. This is 56 00:02:41,413 --> 00:02:43,613 Speaker 3: one of the most exciting shows on Netflix, I think. 57 00:02:43,653 --> 00:02:46,573 Speaker 3: And if you've seen Drive to Survive, which is Netflix's 58 00:02:46,573 --> 00:02:49,133 Speaker 3: show about Formula one, this is like Drive to Survive, 59 00:02:49,173 --> 00:02:50,813 Speaker 3: but for the Tour de France. It's made by the 60 00:02:50,853 --> 00:02:53,773 Speaker 3: same production team, similar kind of structure, and it's a 61 00:02:53,813 --> 00:02:56,373 Speaker 3: documentary series that takes you behind the scenes of the 62 00:02:56,413 --> 00:02:59,213 Speaker 3: Tour de France bike race. It follows about I think 63 00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:02,213 Speaker 3: about ten teams through the race and talks to the riders, 64 00:03:02,213 --> 00:03:04,733 Speaker 3: to the coaches, to the people and the cars driving 65 00:03:04,813 --> 00:03:07,693 Speaker 3: behind the paloton. You really get to know the people involved, 66 00:03:07,973 --> 00:03:10,533 Speaker 3: and it's just full of so much action and drama 67 00:03:10,573 --> 00:03:12,533 Speaker 3: from the race. It makes it feel like you're actually 68 00:03:12,573 --> 00:03:15,573 Speaker 3: there writing with them. The camera work is amazing, the 69 00:03:15,613 --> 00:03:19,013 Speaker 3: crashes are spectacular. It shows how dangerous it is, and 70 00:03:19,053 --> 00:03:20,813 Speaker 3: I think the best thing about the show is that 71 00:03:20,853 --> 00:03:23,213 Speaker 3: you don't need to know anything about cycling to enjoy this, 72 00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:24,693 Speaker 3: so you can just pick it up as you go 73 00:03:24,733 --> 00:03:26,733 Speaker 3: along and you will be an expert by the end 74 00:03:26,733 --> 00:03:26,933 Speaker 3: of it. 75 00:03:27,093 --> 00:03:29,293 Speaker 2: So what are we going to call these kind of shows? 76 00:03:29,413 --> 00:03:30,893 Speaker 2: Don't you think we're at the point now where we 77 00:03:30,973 --> 00:03:32,853 Speaker 2: need to we need to give the genre a bit 78 00:03:32,893 --> 00:03:36,493 Speaker 2: of a name. Yeah, it's like that sport you mentor 79 00:03:36,733 --> 00:03:37,853 Speaker 2: or something a ya. 80 00:03:38,773 --> 00:03:42,413 Speaker 3: Because it's not kind of a historic looking back on something. 81 00:03:42,733 --> 00:03:45,453 Speaker 3: It puts you in the moment and as if you're there, 82 00:03:45,493 --> 00:03:48,613 Speaker 3: which I think is kind of that new, exciting, fast 83 00:03:48,653 --> 00:03:49,973 Speaker 3: paced adrenaline kind of sports. 84 00:03:50,093 --> 00:03:50,253 Speaker 1: See. 85 00:03:50,373 --> 00:03:53,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny right because I so I really enjoy 86 00:03:53,973 --> 00:03:56,973 Speaker 2: the Tour de France, and I don't know why, but 87 00:03:57,013 --> 00:04:00,013 Speaker 2: I always sort of watch it, and you know, when 88 00:04:00,053 --> 00:04:02,893 Speaker 2: the first season of this came out, I knew what 89 00:04:02,933 --> 00:04:05,253 Speaker 2: the results were, and I kind of knew, you know, 90 00:04:05,333 --> 00:04:08,053 Speaker 2: the kind of main store lines from the from the 91 00:04:08,093 --> 00:04:10,453 Speaker 2: tour to front, and yet I still found it really compelling. 92 00:04:10,613 --> 00:04:13,493 Speaker 2: And I think that's the amazing thing about this, and 93 00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:16,333 Speaker 2: it's the same with Drive to Survive, is they've managed 94 00:04:16,373 --> 00:04:20,333 Speaker 2: to make it interesting for people who are already fans 95 00:04:20,373 --> 00:04:25,333 Speaker 2: of the sport exactly whilst at the same time introducing 96 00:04:25,453 --> 00:04:28,053 Speaker 2: millions more people to it, right, because even if you're 97 00:04:28,093 --> 00:04:29,493 Speaker 2: not a big cycling fan or you're not a big 98 00:04:29,493 --> 00:04:32,933 Speaker 2: motorsport fan, you can kind of appreciate the drama ape. 99 00:04:33,493 --> 00:04:33,693 Speaker 1: Yeah. 100 00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:35,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's not easy to strike that balance without 101 00:04:35,933 --> 00:04:38,613 Speaker 3: sort of appearing kind of condescending to the real cycle 102 00:04:38,653 --> 00:04:41,333 Speaker 3: fans who you know a lot about it, but also 103 00:04:41,453 --> 00:04:45,733 Speaker 3: keeping those strangers to the sport invested and you know, 104 00:04:45,813 --> 00:04:47,653 Speaker 3: coming back to it going to that next episode. 105 00:04:47,853 --> 00:04:51,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's intriguing ape well, sports your mentor or something 106 00:04:51,173 --> 00:04:54,893 Speaker 2: like that. It's funny though, because there's a bit of 107 00:04:54,893 --> 00:04:58,253 Speaker 2: a pushback a like an if one for example, Maxistapan 108 00:04:58,333 --> 00:05:03,173 Speaker 2: still isn't taking part in Drive to Survive, even though 109 00:05:03,493 --> 00:05:05,093 Speaker 2: he's the top driver in the world right now, Like 110 00:05:05,133 --> 00:05:06,533 Speaker 2: he just doesn't want to go near it because he 111 00:05:06,533 --> 00:05:08,773 Speaker 2: was unhappy about how his portrayed early on and that 112 00:05:08,853 --> 00:05:12,093 Speaker 2: kind of thing. And so yeah, it's it's interesting, you know, 113 00:05:12,133 --> 00:05:14,333 Speaker 2: and I think some of the purists in these sports 114 00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:16,973 Speaker 2: would say, oh, well it's trivializing the sport or something 115 00:05:17,013 --> 00:05:17,533 Speaker 2: like that. 116 00:05:17,373 --> 00:05:19,013 Speaker 3: But taking the mystery out of it as well. 117 00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:20,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, people might just want to keep. 118 00:05:20,213 --> 00:05:23,173 Speaker 3: Those things secret and private.
