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 --> 00:00:12,813
Speaker 1: from News Talks at b TELL.

3
00:00:12,933 --> 00:00:15,253
Speaker 2: To get your film pics for this weekend. Francesca Rudkin

4
00:00:15,453 --> 00:00:19,613
Speaker 2: is here with us this morning. Kyoda, Good morning Jack. Okay,

5
00:00:19,613 --> 00:00:21,813
Speaker 2: we've got two films this morning. One's on Netflix, ones

6
00:00:21,853 --> 00:00:24,693
Speaker 2: showing in the cinemas at the moment, so let's start there.

7
00:00:24,773 --> 00:00:27,013
Speaker 2: This is They Will Kill You.

8
00:00:30,013 --> 00:00:32,413
Speaker 1: The Virgil was built in nineteen twenty three.

9
00:00:33,493 --> 00:00:36,533
Speaker 3: Today it's one of the most exclusive buildings in Manhattan.

10
00:00:38,013 --> 00:00:39,613
Speaker 4: Hi, I'm the new maid.

11
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:45,493
Speaker 1: This building is a temple to say each month we

12
00:00:45,573 --> 00:00:54,053
Speaker 1: must be with a human sacrifice. Today you are the offering.

13
00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:55,853
Speaker 2: Well that sounds light.

14
00:00:59,013 --> 00:01:01,053
Speaker 4: This isn't probably your wheelhouse.

15
00:01:01,493 --> 00:01:06,133
Speaker 3: And this is from Russian writer director Carolla Sokoloff, And

16
00:01:06,453 --> 00:01:10,173
Speaker 3: he makes what people are kind of calling in a

17
00:01:10,253 --> 00:01:13,773
Speaker 3: Western So he likes to create sort of an action

18
00:01:14,453 --> 00:01:15,733
Speaker 3: flick but within.

19
00:01:15,893 --> 00:01:18,733
Speaker 4: A building of some sort. And in this particular case,

20
00:01:18,773 --> 00:01:19,253
Speaker 4: we're in.

21
00:01:19,173 --> 00:01:24,333
Speaker 3: This mysterious New York City high rise building. It's an

22
00:01:24,413 --> 00:01:29,453
Speaker 3: action comedy horror. It is incredibly stylish and really nicely shot,

23
00:01:29,813 --> 00:01:33,613
Speaker 3: but it's probably a case of style over substance. Here

24
00:01:34,253 --> 00:01:37,413
Speaker 3: it also happens to be very cory. So basically, we

25
00:01:37,493 --> 00:01:39,413
Speaker 3: have the story of this woman. Her name is Asia,

26
00:01:39,453 --> 00:01:43,333
Speaker 3: she's just out of prison. She goes she gets herself

27
00:01:43,333 --> 00:01:45,453
Speaker 3: a job at this New York high rise where she's

28
00:01:45,453 --> 00:01:48,253
Speaker 3: been told her sister is working, and she believes that

29
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:49,533
Speaker 3: her sister is in trouble.

30
00:01:50,533 --> 00:01:52,373
Speaker 4: And so there's a bit of a backstory here.

31
00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:55,013
Speaker 3: These two sisters were sort of physically abused by their father,

32
00:01:55,133 --> 00:01:57,373
Speaker 3: and Asia, the eldest a, felt guilty that she wasn't

33
00:01:57,373 --> 00:02:00,293
Speaker 3: there to protect her younger sister, Maria. So she's decided

34
00:02:00,333 --> 00:02:02,733
Speaker 3: now she will do whatever it takes to get Maria

35
00:02:02,813 --> 00:02:04,933
Speaker 3: out of this building and keep her safe. But she

36
00:02:05,013 --> 00:02:07,213
Speaker 3: has kind of no idea what she's heading into, and

37
00:02:07,253 --> 00:02:10,053
Speaker 3: she's essentially heading into a building which she cannot get

38
00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:13,973
Speaker 3: out of. So all the action takes place within this building.

39
00:02:14,093 --> 00:02:16,573
Speaker 3: As I mentioned, very cleverly shot. The only way out

40
00:02:16,573 --> 00:02:19,693
Speaker 3: of the building is to go out up all the

41
00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:22,533
Speaker 3: floors and out the fire escape, which means that you know,

42
00:02:22,573 --> 00:02:24,053
Speaker 3: there's lots of different action.

43
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:25,253
Speaker 4: On each floor. Jack.

44
00:02:25,533 --> 00:02:28,333
Speaker 3: The choreography of the fights is really really good, and

45
00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:31,733
Speaker 3: there's a wide range of weapons used to keep things interesting.

46
00:02:32,573 --> 00:02:34,813
Speaker 4: But this is very much kind of that B grade.

47
00:02:34,853 --> 00:02:38,133
Speaker 3: Let's get as much gore and spurting blood as we

48
00:02:38,293 --> 00:02:42,533
Speaker 3: possibly can. So it's it's kind of it's well shot

49
00:02:42,573 --> 00:02:47,093
Speaker 3: and well acted, lots of mayhem, but it probably looks

50
00:02:47,173 --> 00:02:49,533
Speaker 3: better than it really is.

51
00:02:49,693 --> 00:02:52,813
Speaker 2: Yeah right, okay, I mean sounds like a bit of

52
00:02:52,853 --> 00:02:54,493
Speaker 2: fun if you're into if you're into that.

53
00:02:57,173 --> 00:02:57,533
Speaker 4: Blood.

54
00:02:57,613 --> 00:02:58,293
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

55
00:02:58,453 --> 00:02:58,653
Speaker 4: Nice.

56
00:02:59,133 --> 00:03:02,213
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's called they will Kill You that showing

57
00:03:02,253 --> 00:03:06,333
Speaker 2: in cinemas. Next up this one streaming on Netflix, Peggy Blinder,

58
00:03:06,933 --> 00:03:10,053
Speaker 2: The Immortal Man. There was a.

59
00:03:14,693 --> 00:03:15,293
Speaker 3: Gypsy's on.

60
00:03:15,493 --> 00:03:18,333
Speaker 2: There's one running the Peaky Blinders like it's nineteen nineteen

61
00:03:18,373 --> 00:03:27,293
Speaker 2: all over again. CONTI I can't help him because I.

62
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:28,013
Speaker 3: Love her mother.

63
00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:35,453
Speaker 2: But bye bomb, right I tell us about This is

64
00:03:35,453 --> 00:03:38,213
Speaker 2: obviously a continuation of the Peaky Blinders series.

65
00:03:38,973 --> 00:03:41,973
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Peaky Blinders TV show was hugely popular.

66
00:03:41,973 --> 00:03:43,613
Speaker 3: I think it ran for about six seasons, and this

67
00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:45,493
Speaker 3: is a film that kind of puts a full stop

68
00:03:45,493 --> 00:03:45,933
Speaker 3: on a door.

69
00:03:46,133 --> 00:03:47,493
Speaker 4: Did you watch the TV show?

70
00:03:47,653 --> 00:03:47,853
Speaker 1: No?

71
00:03:48,093 --> 00:03:50,973
Speaker 2: I didn't. It's often yeah yeah.

72
00:03:50,853 --> 00:03:52,733
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And in a way I feel like I

73
00:03:52,773 --> 00:03:54,213
Speaker 3: need to go back and watch them all in order

74
00:03:54,253 --> 00:03:57,173
Speaker 3: to really enjoy this film. Right, Sometimes when there's a

75
00:03:57,213 --> 00:03:58,933
Speaker 3: film at the end of a TV series like the

76
00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:02,453
Speaker 3: Downtown Abbey finale. I know people who took their mum

77
00:04:02,573 --> 00:04:05,413
Speaker 3: to it had never watched any Downton Abbey but really

78
00:04:05,533 --> 00:04:09,293
Speaker 3: enjoyed the film. I watched this film not being familiar

79
00:04:09,373 --> 00:04:11,893
Speaker 3: with the characters or what had happened, and I think

80
00:04:11,933 --> 00:04:14,933
Speaker 3: that I would have enjoyed it more if I had

81
00:04:14,973 --> 00:04:17,973
Speaker 3: been invested in these characters, if I was familiar with

82
00:04:18,013 --> 00:04:20,773
Speaker 3: the show. I found that a little bit uneven in

83
00:04:20,813 --> 00:04:22,973
Speaker 3: its pacing, which made it hard for me to kind

84
00:04:22,973 --> 00:04:25,093
Speaker 3: of engage and get into it. It's not that you

85
00:04:25,133 --> 00:04:27,813
Speaker 3: don't you don't understand what's going on or anything like that,

86
00:04:27,973 --> 00:04:30,173
Speaker 3: it's just didn't It just took a while to grab me.

87
00:04:30,213 --> 00:04:30,653
Speaker 4: And then, of.

88
00:04:30,573 --> 00:04:32,733
Speaker 3: Course because you're not sort of invested in the characters,

89
00:04:33,133 --> 00:04:34,893
Speaker 3: so went over my head a little bit.

90
00:04:36,493 --> 00:04:38,773
Speaker 4: But if you are a fan, I think you will

91
00:04:38,853 --> 00:04:39,253
Speaker 4: love it.

92
00:04:39,493 --> 00:04:43,053
Speaker 3: Excellent cast Killian Murphy is back as the romani gypsy

93
00:04:43,093 --> 00:04:46,693
Speaker 3: gang leader that traumatized Birmingham in the early twentieth century.

94
00:04:46,933 --> 00:04:49,813
Speaker 3: It's in where the film is set in nineteen forty.

95
00:04:50,453 --> 00:04:53,893
Speaker 3: Of course, Tommy was very affected by being in World

96
00:04:53,933 --> 00:04:57,493
Speaker 3: War One, and you know that sort of influenced the

97
00:04:57,533 --> 00:05:01,373
Speaker 3: way he ran this gang. He is now living on

98
00:05:01,413 --> 00:05:04,773
Speaker 3: his own in a deserted mansion. He is haunted by

99
00:05:04,853 --> 00:05:07,733
Speaker 3: ghosts and demons. He is no no longer than Tommy

100
00:05:07,773 --> 00:05:10,813
Speaker 3: Shelby that we know. He's writing a book which I

101
00:05:10,813 --> 00:05:12,093
Speaker 3: thought was kind of a bit odd.

102
00:05:12,173 --> 00:05:12,693
Speaker 4: Bit amusing.

103
00:05:12,733 --> 00:05:15,053
Speaker 3: He's doing a bit of a memoir about his times.

104
00:05:15,293 --> 00:05:18,053
Speaker 3: But what's happening is that his son played by Barry Keagan,

105
00:05:18,093 --> 00:05:22,213
Speaker 3: who is fantastic, has taken over the gang and is

106
00:05:22,253 --> 00:05:24,453
Speaker 3: in full flight and causing a few causing a bit

107
00:05:24,453 --> 00:05:28,373
Speaker 3: of havoc, and so Tommy is kind of dragged back

108
00:05:28,373 --> 00:05:30,933
Speaker 3: to Birmingham to sort of sort him out and things.

109
00:05:31,213 --> 00:05:33,813
Speaker 3: And when he kind of puts the hat back on

110
00:05:33,933 --> 00:05:37,533
Speaker 3: and turns out backs as Tommy, that's when things kind

111
00:05:37,533 --> 00:05:39,093
Speaker 3: of it feels like week.

112
00:05:39,133 --> 00:05:41,173
Speaker 4: This film really kind of kicks off.

113
00:05:41,613 --> 00:05:44,813
Speaker 3: So look really nicely made, really well put together, very

114
00:05:44,853 --> 00:05:49,213
Speaker 3: well acted, great cast Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth also appears.

115
00:05:49,253 --> 00:05:51,733
Speaker 3: Tim Roth strows a little bit of humor into his character.

116
00:05:52,053 --> 00:05:54,093
Speaker 3: But I do think you will get more out of

117
00:05:54,093 --> 00:05:56,373
Speaker 3: this film if you're invested in the TV show and

118
00:05:56,413 --> 00:05:59,893
Speaker 3: these characters. And this is on Netflix, but also in

119
00:05:59,933 --> 00:06:03,453
Speaker 3: some cinemas as well. Some good action here as well,

120
00:06:03,493 --> 00:06:05,373
Speaker 3: So if you are a fan, go and see it

121
00:06:05,373 --> 00:06:05,973
Speaker 3: at the cinemas.

122
00:06:05,973 --> 00:06:07,973
Speaker 4: If you're not saying, give it a whirl on Netflix.
