1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,493 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,693 Speaker 1: from News Talks AB. 3 00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,173 Speaker 2: Right now, it's twenty two past ten, which means it's 4 00:00:15,733 --> 00:00:19,773 Speaker 2: screen Timetime with Tara Awards. She's our screen time expert 5 00:00:19,773 --> 00:00:21,933 Speaker 2: with us this time every week with her recommendations for 6 00:00:21,973 --> 00:00:25,973 Speaker 2: shows to watch or stream at home. Golda Tara, Good morning. 7 00:00:26,173 --> 00:00:27,973 Speaker 2: So when I was a kid, I was a huge 8 00:00:28,093 --> 00:00:30,453 Speaker 2: OC fan, which I know is a bit weird. That's 9 00:00:30,493 --> 00:00:33,693 Speaker 2: kind of like my secret, you know, my embarrassing show 10 00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:36,573 Speaker 2: crush kind of thing, right, you know. And anyway, I 11 00:00:36,613 --> 00:00:40,293 Speaker 2: remember when the OC was around that Adam Brody was 12 00:00:40,333 --> 00:00:42,413 Speaker 2: the one that all the girls had a crush on. 13 00:00:43,653 --> 00:00:45,813 Speaker 2: He was a heart throb and he sort of disappeared 14 00:00:45,813 --> 00:00:47,733 Speaker 2: for the last five or ten years. But now he 15 00:00:47,853 --> 00:00:52,493 Speaker 2: is back alongside Kristin Bell in Netflix's Nobody Wants This, 16 00:00:52,613 --> 00:00:53,413 Speaker 2: So tell us about it. 17 00:00:53,813 --> 00:00:56,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new romantic comedy series. It's just 18 00:00:56,653 --> 00:00:59,373 Speaker 3: Netflix and as you say, stars Adam Brody and Kristin 19 00:00:59,413 --> 00:01:02,333 Speaker 3: Bell as well, who was another star of a nineteen 20 00:01:02,973 --> 00:01:07,493 Speaker 3: nineties TV show of Veronica mars So. Kristin plays a 21 00:01:07,533 --> 00:01:10,613 Speaker 3: podcaster in this who's a relationship expert. She's a pretty 22 00:01:10,613 --> 00:01:13,893 Speaker 3: cynical character, and Adam Brody plays a rabbi who's just 23 00:01:13,933 --> 00:01:16,453 Speaker 3: broken up with his girlfriend, much to the disappointment of 24 00:01:16,453 --> 00:01:18,933 Speaker 3: his family, and they meet at a dinner party and 25 00:01:18,973 --> 00:01:22,093 Speaker 3: it's a case of opposites a tract. The connection is instant, 26 00:01:22,693 --> 00:01:25,613 Speaker 3: but obviously, as you would expect with any good romcom, 27 00:01:25,733 --> 00:01:28,093 Speaker 3: there are obstacles in the way of their love affair, 28 00:01:28,293 --> 00:01:31,893 Speaker 3: and here it's about culture and faith and family, and 29 00:01:31,933 --> 00:01:34,053 Speaker 3: there's a great supporting cast here as well, of family 30 00:01:34,093 --> 00:01:38,653 Speaker 3: and friends who all have their own opinions about this relationship. 31 00:01:39,093 --> 00:01:41,133 Speaker 3: I like this a lot because it's a rom com. 32 00:01:41,253 --> 00:01:42,973 Speaker 3: You know where you are with this. There's a certain 33 00:01:43,013 --> 00:01:45,693 Speaker 3: number of boxes that you want a rom com to tick, 34 00:01:45,773 --> 00:01:48,333 Speaker 3: and this does all of that. But it also feels 35 00:01:48,413 --> 00:01:52,333 Speaker 3: very smart and snappy and funny and fresh. There's great 36 00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:55,413 Speaker 3: chemistry between the two leads as well, and it's just 37 00:01:55,413 --> 00:01:57,333 Speaker 3: one of those shows that's really easy to watch. It's 38 00:01:57,373 --> 00:01:59,933 Speaker 3: not perfect, but it's the kind of show that's easy 39 00:01:59,933 --> 00:02:02,213 Speaker 3: to slip into and enjoy and you can just happily 40 00:02:02,213 --> 00:02:04,093 Speaker 3: binge your way through all ten episodes. 41 00:02:04,173 --> 00:02:06,693 Speaker 2: Cool, Okay, that sounds good. There's nobody want it's this. 42 00:02:06,853 --> 00:02:10,013 Speaker 2: It's on Netflix on TV and Z Plus a new 43 00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:12,213 Speaker 2: season of From. 44 00:02:12,453 --> 00:02:15,333 Speaker 3: Yes switching tack entirely here. This is From, which is 45 00:02:15,493 --> 00:02:18,293 Speaker 3: an American horror thriller, and the third season has just 46 00:02:18,373 --> 00:02:20,853 Speaker 3: landed on TV and Z Plus. Now. Horror is not 47 00:02:21,093 --> 00:02:23,773 Speaker 3: a genre of TV that I naturally gravitate towards. It's 48 00:02:23,773 --> 00:02:26,453 Speaker 3: a bit too stressful for me. But everyone I know 49 00:02:26,693 --> 00:02:29,653 Speaker 3: who watches this kind of TV and who has watched 50 00:02:29,653 --> 00:02:32,613 Speaker 3: From has really raved about this show. It's made by 51 00:02:32,613 --> 00:02:35,853 Speaker 3: some of the team behind the TV show Lost. Set 52 00:02:36,013 --> 00:02:39,173 Speaker 3: in an isolated village where strange things happen at night, 53 00:02:39,373 --> 00:02:42,133 Speaker 3: so the villagers aren't safe if they aren't inside their 54 00:02:42,173 --> 00:02:45,213 Speaker 3: house at night, and nobody can ever leave the village. 55 00:02:45,213 --> 00:02:47,253 Speaker 3: The road just keeps bringing them back to where they 56 00:02:47,293 --> 00:02:49,693 Speaker 3: came from. And this is the puzzle of the show. 57 00:02:49,733 --> 00:02:52,293 Speaker 3: What is the secret in this town? Who are these 58 00:02:52,333 --> 00:02:54,653 Speaker 3: strange people who turn up at night? And why can't 59 00:02:54,653 --> 00:02:57,613 Speaker 3: anyone ever leave? So it's a mix of horror and 60 00:02:57,773 --> 00:03:01,813 Speaker 3: mystery and psychological thriller and you know, a but like Lost, 61 00:03:01,893 --> 00:03:04,693 Speaker 3: this is a show where lots of weird things will happen, 62 00:03:05,093 --> 00:03:08,173 Speaker 3: things won't make sense. There's you know, lots of subplots, 63 00:03:08,173 --> 00:03:10,133 Speaker 3: that are all connected somehow, but you just kind of 64 00:03:10,173 --> 00:03:12,333 Speaker 3: got to roll with it rather than trying to make 65 00:03:12,373 --> 00:03:14,373 Speaker 3: sense of it all. You might never get the answers 66 00:03:14,373 --> 00:03:16,613 Speaker 3: that you're looking for here. So I think if you're 67 00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:19,413 Speaker 3: a fan of something like The Walking Dead, or if 68 00:03:19,453 --> 00:03:21,573 Speaker 3: you wish Lost had had a bit more gore and 69 00:03:21,613 --> 00:03:23,373 Speaker 3: guts in it, this will be right up your own. 70 00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:27,093 Speaker 2: That's so that is a great analogy. Do you remember, like, 71 00:03:27,573 --> 00:03:30,533 Speaker 2: did you watch Lost live? Sorry this is a slight digression, 72 00:03:30,573 --> 00:03:32,253 Speaker 2: but did you watch Lost live when it was on 73 00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:32,933 Speaker 2: back in the day. 74 00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:34,653 Speaker 3: I don't think I did, but I know a lot 75 00:03:34,693 --> 00:03:37,293 Speaker 3: of people were really unhappy with how it finished because 76 00:03:37,293 --> 00:03:39,213 Speaker 3: they didn't get all the answers that they were looking for. 77 00:03:39,253 --> 00:03:42,373 Speaker 2: I just I feel like I invested five good years 78 00:03:42,413 --> 00:03:44,533 Speaker 2: of my life in that program, and I and I 79 00:03:44,613 --> 00:03:47,293 Speaker 2: mean really deeply invested. I've watched it every week. And 80 00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:49,933 Speaker 2: this is back before streaming. So you're watching the TV live, 81 00:03:50,013 --> 00:03:52,293 Speaker 2: you know, seven thirty on Tuesday night or whatever. You'd 82 00:03:52,293 --> 00:03:54,333 Speaker 2: sit down and watch the TV. I used to watch 83 00:03:54,373 --> 00:03:56,333 Speaker 2: it and go, oh my gosh, I can't believe this. 84 00:03:56,493 --> 00:03:58,413 Speaker 2: I can't believe this development. And I always be like, 85 00:03:58,453 --> 00:04:00,173 Speaker 2: how are they going to explain this? How are they 86 00:04:00,293 --> 00:04:02,013 Speaker 2: going to explain this? And then at the end it 87 00:04:02,053 --> 00:04:03,733 Speaker 2: was like, oh no, they're just not going to explain it. 88 00:04:04,293 --> 00:04:10,093 Speaker 2: Still wasted, profoundly unsatisfied anyway. So that's from. That's on TV. 89 00:04:10,173 --> 00:04:13,413 Speaker 2: So if you love being unsatisfied by security shows, then 90 00:04:13,453 --> 00:04:15,653 Speaker 2: you're gonna love from It's on TV and Z plus. 91 00:04:15,693 --> 00:04:18,493 Speaker 2: I'm joking, I'm being facetious, a show that I know 92 00:04:18,573 --> 00:04:23,693 Speaker 2: will be deeply satisfying though, starring New Zealand's own Beyonce 93 00:04:23,853 --> 00:04:27,253 Speaker 2: and Jay, Scotty and Stacey Morrison on TVNZ plus tell 94 00:04:27,333 --> 00:04:28,693 Speaker 2: Us about National Treasures. 95 00:04:29,173 --> 00:04:32,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a really really lovely local TV documentary 96 00:04:32,533 --> 00:04:35,013 Speaker 3: series that started on Tuesdays on tvns in one a 97 00:04:35,053 --> 00:04:37,213 Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, but it's also on TVNZ plus 98 00:04:37,213 --> 00:04:39,213 Speaker 3: if you want to catch up.

You know, it's a really actic 107 00:05:04,973 --> 00:05:07,653 Speaker 3: mix of objects. And what I think this show does, 108 00:05:07,893 --> 00:05:12,893 Speaker 3: really beautiful beautifully is showcase how an ordinary, everyday item 109 00:05:13,013 --> 00:05:15,653 Speaker 3: can be so special and important and how it has 110 00:05:15,693 --> 00:05:19,213 Speaker 3: this unique history behind it that reflects who we were 111 00:05:19,373 --> 00:05:21,493 Speaker 3: at a certain point in time. And it's the human 112 00:05:21,573 --> 00:05:24,893 Speaker 3: stories with these objects that really bring them less treasures 113 00:05:24,893 --> 00:05:29,093 Speaker 3: to life. Again.
