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

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:14,893
Speaker 1: from News Talk st B down to.

3
00:00:16,413 --> 00:00:17,973
Speaker 2: Taking Away to the Dark.

4
00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:25,213
Speaker 1: When you're singing a song.

5
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:29,293
Speaker 3: In Brocks, you gotta sing the words.

6
00:00:30,413 --> 00:00:33,573
Speaker 2: So despite being more than a decade old, this song

7
00:00:33,653 --> 00:00:38,173
Speaker 2: topped the Spotify Rapped charts as the Australian song that

8
00:00:38,293 --> 00:00:41,373
Speaker 2: Ossie's listened to the most this year. The track came

9
00:00:41,413 --> 00:00:44,173
Speaker 2: out in twenty thirteen and it still frequents the number

10
00:00:44,253 --> 00:00:48,213
Speaker 2: one spot on the ARIA charts. That is staying power,

11
00:00:48,253 --> 00:00:50,133
Speaker 2: isn't it, Folks. Later in the show, we're going to

12
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:52,893
Speaker 2: be revealing the Kiwi song that Kiwi's loved the most.

13
00:00:53,293 --> 00:00:55,053
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be revealing my song because it

14
00:00:55,093 --> 00:00:58,413
Speaker 2: is absolutely shocking and I don't mean like and yeah,

15
00:00:58,613 --> 00:01:01,893
Speaker 2: it's just it's a shocking song. And I actually it's

16
00:01:01,933 --> 00:01:04,013
Speaker 2: all a bit of a mystery my Spotify and rap

17
00:01:04,053 --> 00:01:06,013
Speaker 2: this year. I don't believe I've ever listened to the

18
00:01:06,053 --> 00:01:08,933
Speaker 2: song about a stripper which turns out to be my

19
00:01:09,013 --> 00:01:12,533
Speaker 2: number one. Maybe more on that later anyway. Joining us

20
00:01:12,533 --> 00:01:16,253
Speaker 2: now to talk movies, Chris Schultz, Good morning.

21
00:01:16,573 --> 00:01:19,733
Speaker 3: Good morning, Francesca. I'm not revealing my number one either

22
00:01:19,773 --> 00:01:25,013
Speaker 3: because my daughter hijacked my playlist and it's all Taylor swafts.

23
00:01:25,093 --> 00:01:28,693
Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's okay, that's acceptable. Mine was hijacked by

24
00:01:28,733 --> 00:01:31,973
Speaker 2: an eighteen year old boy who likes hip hop, and

25
00:01:32,013 --> 00:01:34,453
Speaker 2: I now have my number one song about a stripper.

26
00:01:34,493 --> 00:01:37,653
Speaker 2: I don't even understand the lyrics. I was just absolutely mortified.

27
00:01:37,693 --> 00:01:39,453
Speaker 2: I was like, who is this? So I go and

28
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:45,533
Speaker 2: listen to this song and I was just like, Holy moly, anyway,

29
00:01:45,613 --> 00:01:48,213
Speaker 2: let's move on. We're gonna talk about heretic Let's have

30
00:01:48,253 --> 00:01:56,933
Speaker 2: a listen to the trailer. Are you interested in learning

31
00:01:56,933 --> 00:01:59,013
Speaker 2: more about the Church of Jesus Christ, Come on it.

32
00:02:04,213 --> 00:02:05,413
Speaker 2: We just need to go home.

33
00:02:05,893 --> 00:02:09,213
Speaker 1: I won't if you wish to leave, but I want

34
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:11,173
Speaker 1: you to choose which dor to go through based on

35
00:02:11,213 --> 00:02:11,653
Speaker 1: your faith.

36
00:02:16,253 --> 00:02:18,213
Speaker 2: So about this time of the year, Chris, most people

37
00:02:18,253 --> 00:02:20,453
Speaker 2: would you know, think, oh, yes, I'd love to watch

38
00:02:20,493 --> 00:02:23,053
Speaker 2: a Hugh Grant film. Let's pull out a romantic comedy.

39
00:02:25,173 --> 00:02:27,613
Speaker 3: Totally true. It is the wrong time of year to

40
00:02:27,653 --> 00:02:30,093
Speaker 3: be releasing a horror movie. This should have been released

41
00:02:30,293 --> 00:02:33,053
Speaker 3: two months ago. At Halloween. We're all going to the beach.

42
00:02:33,093 --> 00:02:36,373
Speaker 3: We're celebrating Christmas. The Christmas music is on at the

43
00:02:36,413 --> 00:02:40,093
Speaker 3: Malls who feels like going to a darkened cinema to

44
00:02:40,173 --> 00:02:42,693
Speaker 3: watch a horror movie. But yes, Hugh Grant is in this.

45
00:02:42,693 --> 00:02:45,333
Speaker 3: This is a huge change of pace for him. He's

46
00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:49,613
Speaker 3: always been the dapper English gentleman, the leading man in

47
00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:52,933
Speaker 3: a rom com, but he's been pretty open about Now

48
00:02:52,973 --> 00:02:56,573
Speaker 3: at sixty four, he's not really getting those opportunities anymore.

49
00:02:57,173 --> 00:02:59,293
Speaker 3: So he's doing some weird stuff. We last saw him

50
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:03,093
Speaker 3: and Willie Wonka playing an umplumpa and here he is

51
00:03:03,173 --> 00:03:07,613
Speaker 3: playing true evil and who knew he's fantastic at it.

52
00:03:07,653 --> 00:03:09,853
Speaker 3: This is the best reason to get to a cinema

53
00:03:09,933 --> 00:03:14,213
Speaker 3: to see heretic Hugh Grant. He's using those tricks, so

54
00:03:14,293 --> 00:03:17,173
Speaker 3: I think that's what makes this so clever. He's using

55
00:03:17,213 --> 00:03:19,693
Speaker 3: those tricks that he used in those rom coms. The

56
00:03:19,773 --> 00:03:25,573
Speaker 3: wry smile, the kind eyes, the very welcoming gentle kind

57
00:03:25,613 --> 00:03:29,413
Speaker 3: of warmth he has he wins you over, and then

58
00:03:29,453 --> 00:03:31,933
Speaker 3: in this he's just giving it a twist and he's evil.

59
00:03:31,973 --> 00:03:35,853
Speaker 3: He's playing mister Reed, a kind of creepy man living

60
00:03:35,893 --> 00:03:40,813
Speaker 3: alone who invites two Mormon women, young woman doing God's

61
00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:44,773
Speaker 3: work spreading the message into his home and then sort

62
00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:49,213
Speaker 3: of sets these traps for them. I mean, the trailer

63
00:03:49,213 --> 00:03:53,013
Speaker 3: made this look like Sore meets Labyrinth. You know, they

64
00:03:53,053 --> 00:03:55,533
Speaker 3: sort of go on this religious journey. He takes them

65
00:03:55,533 --> 00:03:58,293
Speaker 3: on this kind of cat and mouse journey trying to

66
00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:01,813
Speaker 3: teach them about religion. This film has so much to say,

67
00:04:01,893 --> 00:04:07,413
Speaker 3: almost too much to say about religion. The the downside

68
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:11,293
Speaker 3: of it is the monologues in it. They almost overuse

69
00:04:11,533 --> 00:04:15,853
Speaker 3: Hugh Grant a little bit less is often more in

70
00:04:15,933 --> 00:04:18,053
Speaker 3: these kinds of movies. But then he sort of launches

71
00:04:18,093 --> 00:04:21,973
Speaker 3: into these monologues about religion and why it's wrong. And

72
00:04:21,973 --> 00:04:25,413
Speaker 3: then he sort of has these metaphors where he's using

73
00:04:25,493 --> 00:04:29,053
Speaker 3: radiohead songs. He sings Radioheads, creep, he brings in Judge

74
00:04:29,053 --> 00:04:32,133
Speaker 3: our Binks from Star Wars. There's a whole five minute

75
00:04:32,173 --> 00:04:36,493
Speaker 3: sequence that equates monopoly to religion that I'm still kind

76
00:04:36,533 --> 00:04:38,853
Speaker 3: of getting my head around. So the first half of

77
00:04:38,893 --> 00:04:40,893
Speaker 3: the movie is all set up, and when you get

78
00:04:40,933 --> 00:04:43,853
Speaker 3: to the second half, it's great, but it just takes

79
00:04:43,893 --> 00:04:47,813
Speaker 3: a little too long to get there. But Hugh Grant fantastic.

80
00:04:47,853 --> 00:04:49,773
Speaker 3: I mean, this is I hope he does more of this.

81
00:04:49,853 --> 00:04:52,213
Speaker 3: He's just so good it. I really hope this is

82
00:04:52,253 --> 00:04:54,533
Speaker 3: like a new thing that he's just in like all

83
00:04:54,573 --> 00:04:57,533
Speaker 3: of the horror movies now because he's so good at it.

84
00:04:57,613 --> 00:05:02,053
Speaker 2: There's something a little bit different, some lighter christmasphere, we're

85
00:05:02,093 --> 00:05:03,973
Speaker 2: going to have it. Listen to the trailer for Our

86
00:05:04,093 --> 00:05:04,893
Speaker 2: Little Secret.

87
00:05:07,053 --> 00:05:09,373
Speaker 4: I'm spending the holidays with my boyfriend's family for the

88
00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:11,413
Speaker 4: first time.

89
00:05:12,613 --> 00:05:13,133
Speaker 3: This is for you.

90
00:05:13,653 --> 00:05:16,333
Speaker 4: Look, it's his street talk that's from Easy.

91
00:05:17,773 --> 00:05:18,293
Speaker 2: Here's you all.

92
00:05:18,973 --> 00:05:21,613
Speaker 4: He has a lot of family members too many to remember,

93
00:05:21,813 --> 00:05:23,973
Speaker 4: and his sister is also bringing someone I want you

94
00:05:24,013 --> 00:05:28,653
Speaker 4: to meet, Logan, my ex bost.

95
00:05:32,133 --> 00:05:34,053
Speaker 2: So my first question for you here, Chris, is did

96
00:05:34,053 --> 00:05:35,133
Speaker 2: you finish this film?

97
00:05:36,573 --> 00:05:40,213
Speaker 3: That is an excellent question. I uh going to respond,

98
00:05:41,573 --> 00:05:43,813
Speaker 3: I head it on in the background. Let's put it

99
00:05:43,853 --> 00:05:47,293
Speaker 3: that way. No, there are some bonkers Christmas movies around

100
00:05:47,493 --> 00:05:50,853
Speaker 3: this year. I read one complete Box Office disaster with

101
00:05:50,973 --> 00:05:53,733
Speaker 3: Chris Evans and the Rock trying to save Center, Hot

102
00:05:53,813 --> 00:05:57,573
Speaker 3: Frosty and Netflix rom com in which a woman falls

103
00:05:57,613 --> 00:06:00,773
Speaker 3: in love with a ripped snowman who comes to life.

104
00:06:01,333 --> 00:06:04,693
Speaker 3: But Our Little Secret is on Netflix. This might be

105
00:06:04,813 --> 00:06:06,653
Speaker 3: the weirdest one of them all. This is part of

106
00:06:06,653 --> 00:06:12,013
Speaker 3: the Lindsay Lohan comeback train that she's on she's made

107
00:06:12,053 --> 00:06:14,973
Speaker 3: a few Netflix movies now she's sort of her life out.

108
00:06:15,013 --> 00:06:17,853
Speaker 3: She was a tabloid disaster for a long time and

109
00:06:16,933 --> 00:06:20,133
Speaker 3: she's making movies again. She's actually a pretty good actor.

110
00:06:20,573 --> 00:06:23,413
Speaker 3: She's not the problem with Our Little Secret. The problem

111
00:06:23,493 --> 00:06:28,853
Speaker 3: is kind of everything else. It's just such a strange film.

112
00:06:29,373 --> 00:06:33,693
Speaker 3: It's got this weird opening with like they go through

113
00:06:33,733 --> 00:06:38,613
Speaker 3: like ten years of highlights and most of them are

114
00:06:38,613 --> 00:06:43,253
Speaker 3: like Netflix things. There's a weird weed gummy sequence in

115
00:06:43,293 --> 00:06:47,893
Speaker 3: a church. It's about Lindsay Lohan. Her character goes home

116
00:06:48,053 --> 00:06:50,413
Speaker 3: with her new partner to meet the in laws, and

117
00:06:50,453 --> 00:06:52,733
Speaker 3: then an X is there from ten years ago, and

118
00:06:52,773 --> 00:06:54,853
Speaker 3: they decide not to tell them that they know each other.

119
00:06:54,893 --> 00:06:57,853
Speaker 3: And obviously this is a rom com, so you can

120
00:06:57,853 --> 00:07:02,413
Speaker 3: see what's going to happen. But it's just it's so strange.

121
00:07:02,173 --> 00:07:05,653
Speaker 3: The characters sort of seem like they're all in different films.

122
00:07:06,533 --> 00:07:08,653
Speaker 3: They yell out lines that just don't make sense. At

123
00:07:08,693 --> 00:07:11,853
Speaker 3: one point, one character yelled out touchet, but nothing that

124
00:07:11,933 --> 00:07:15,893
Speaker 3: had been building up to that moment need like he

125
00:07:15,933 --> 00:07:18,333
Speaker 3: had no reason to say it. So you almost like

126
00:07:18,413 --> 00:07:20,973
Speaker 3: need to watch this, like you watch Tommy Wizzau's The

127
00:07:21,053 --> 00:07:24,693
Speaker 3: Room kind of ironically, maybe have some drinking games, and

128
00:07:24,733 --> 00:07:26,333
Speaker 3: I think you could have a good time, like if

129
00:07:26,333 --> 00:07:28,813
Speaker 3: you had a whole bunch of friends or family over. Yeah,

130
00:07:28,933 --> 00:07:31,133
Speaker 3: and you watch this because it's almost so bad that

131
00:07:31,173 --> 00:07:33,253
Speaker 3: it's good. It falls into that kind of character.

132
00:07:34,373 --> 00:07:38,013
Speaker 2: It left me asking the question when did Christmas movies

133
00:07:38,053 --> 00:07:41,413
Speaker 2: become all about romance and why? And then I went

134
00:07:41,413 --> 00:07:43,293
Speaker 2: down a rabbit hole and I really didn't get an

135
00:07:43,293 --> 00:07:46,173
Speaker 2: answer for it, except is the season of love. We

136
00:07:46,213 --> 00:07:50,573
Speaker 2: all want good happy stories everybody, you know. Apparently there's

137
00:07:50,573 --> 00:07:53,613
Speaker 2: an America anyway. There is pressure to bring home a partner,

138
00:07:53,933 --> 00:07:57,693
Speaker 2: you know, at Christmas time. Basically I've decided Christmas movies

139
00:07:57,693 --> 00:07:58,613
Speaker 2: don't like single people.

140
00:07:59,493 --> 00:08:02,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there was actually a good example, right, Kristen

141
00:08:02,093 --> 00:08:05,013
Speaker 3: Stewart did Happiest Season like four or five years ago.

142
00:08:05,053 --> 00:08:08,053
Speaker 3: I want to see, Yeah, that's a really good Christmas movie.

143
00:08:08,693 --> 00:08:10,613
Speaker 3: You can do it. It's just I don't know. We've

144
00:08:10,613 --> 00:08:12,413
Speaker 3: all got our favorites, right, we all go back and

145
00:08:12,413 --> 00:08:14,413
Speaker 3: just play the classics. In our house is alf and

146
00:08:14,453 --> 00:08:17,413
Speaker 3: Home Alone. We watch those every year. To make a

147
00:08:17,453 --> 00:08:21,293
Speaker 3: new Christmas movie that joins that canon is so impossibly

148
00:08:21,333 --> 00:08:24,493
Speaker 3: hard because you're fighting against fifty years of film that

149
00:08:24,733 --> 00:08:27,213
Speaker 3: everyone's already attached to their favorite films.

150
00:08:27,773 --> 00:08:30,413
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Chris for putting yourself through that.

151
00:08:30,413 --> 00:08:33,493
Speaker 2: That's our Little Secret is screening on Netflix, and if

152
00:08:33,533 --> 00:08:35,453
Speaker 2: you want to head to the Cinema's heretic it is

153
00:08:35,493 --> 00:08:37,653
Speaker 2: an R sixteen as well. Just be that in mind.
