Speaker 3: for this week. Francesca rud Can, our film reviewer, is

16
00:00:56,933 --> 00:01:00,853
Speaker 3: here with a snack elder morning. Okay, we've got a

17
00:01:00,853 --> 00:01:03,493
Speaker 3: couple of different movies showing in cinemas at the moment,

18
00:01:03,533 --> 00:01:05,733
Speaker 3: so let's begin with a listen to Mickey seventeen.

19
00:01:06,853 --> 00:01:09,373
Speaker 2: Something was working out and I wanted to get the

20
00:01:09,373 --> 00:01:10,093
Speaker 2: hell out of there.

21
00:01:10,213 --> 00:01:11,573
Speaker 4: You're planning to be inexplondable.

22
00:01:11,773 --> 00:01:15,733
Speaker 2: He read through the paper. Yeah, I should have read

23
00:01:15,773 --> 00:01:16,173
Speaker 2: through it.

24
00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:25,613
Speaker 3: You Okay, some big names with Mickey seventeen stars Robert Pattinson.

25
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:28,333
Speaker 3: It's directed by the guy who directed Parasite and Snow PIERSA.

26
00:01:29,213 --> 00:01:33,493
Speaker 5: Yes Boon Drew Hoe, and he stunned everybody at the

27
00:01:33,493 --> 00:01:38,293
Speaker 5: twenty twenty Oscars with his film Paradise Parasite. Sorry, he

28
00:01:39,773 --> 00:01:43,293
Speaker 5: made history by winning Best Picture, and that was the

29
00:01:43,333 --> 00:01:47,733
Speaker 5: first time a non English language film had one Best Picture.

30
00:01:48,093 --> 00:01:51,773
Speaker 5: He won Best Director, Best International Feature, Best Original Screenplay.

31
00:01:53,133 --> 00:01:54,413
Speaker 4: An extraordinary film.

32
00:01:54,453 --> 00:01:57,293
Speaker 5: If you haven't seen it, you should definitely see Parasite.

33
00:01:57,693 --> 00:02:00,853
Speaker 5: But this is his first film since Parasite, and he

34
00:02:00,893 --> 00:02:05,093
Speaker 5: probably had the opportunity to do whatever he wanted. I'm

35
00:02:05,133 --> 00:02:09,413
Speaker 5: sure that studios were probably handing him large franchise films

36
00:02:09,453 --> 00:02:11,293
Speaker 5: on a plate, telling him he could do whatever he

37
00:02:11,373 --> 00:02:17,413
Speaker 5: wanted to do, and instead he's made the sort of wonderfully.

38
00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:20,573
Speaker 4: Bondering whole film. It's nutty.

39
00:02:20,813 --> 00:02:24,413
Speaker 5: It's this comical sci fi. It's a satire about sort

40
00:02:24,413 --> 00:02:27,653
Speaker 5: of the state of humanity. He always likes to focus

41
00:02:27,773 --> 00:02:31,453
Speaker 5: on the themes that he often reverts back to, all

42
00:02:31,493 --> 00:02:36,173
Speaker 5: about class and power and exploitation, and he very much

43
00:02:36,213 --> 00:02:39,453
Speaker 5: does that again with this film. Robert Pattinson, who you

44
00:02:39,573 --> 00:02:43,413
Speaker 5: mentioned there from Twilight, and of course Batman he really

45
00:02:43,533 --> 00:02:47,053
Speaker 5: drops his sort of A list star quality for this

46
00:02:47,093 --> 00:02:52,133
Speaker 5: film and plays this wonderful, meek, quite goofy character Mickey,

47
00:02:52,693 --> 00:02:55,453
Speaker 5: and he's really keen to get off planet Earth.

48
00:02:55,453 --> 00:02:56,493
Speaker 4: This is set in the future.

49
00:02:57,253 --> 00:02:59,293
Speaker 5: He owes some money to a loan shark and things

50
00:02:59,293 --> 00:03:01,093
Speaker 5: who likes to chop people up as a hobby. So

51
00:03:01,213 --> 00:03:04,613
Speaker 5: he's very keen to get off Earth. But everybody's keen

52
00:03:04,653 --> 00:03:07,373
Speaker 5: to get out of off Earth at this point in

53
00:03:07,413 --> 00:03:11,333
Speaker 5: the future is the competition is fierce to join a

54
00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:13,293
Speaker 5: colonial worde to a new planet.

55
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,093
Speaker 4: So he signs up as an expendable.

56
00:03:18,493 --> 00:03:21,653
Speaker 5: And in the future, we have worked out how to

57
00:03:21,853 --> 00:03:22,653
Speaker 5: print people.

58
00:03:23,773 --> 00:03:25,453
Speaker 4: We're no longer allowed to do it on Earth, but

59
00:03:25,493 --> 00:03:27,053
Speaker 4: you can do it off Earth.

60
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:29,413
Speaker 5: And he doesn't quite know what it means, but he

61
00:03:29,533 --> 00:03:32,093
Speaker 5: signs up to be this expendable, which means like he's

62
00:03:32,133 --> 00:03:33,093
Speaker 5: the canary in the mind.

63
00:03:33,133 --> 00:03:36,173
Speaker 4: He is the guy who can die.

64
00:03:37,573 --> 00:03:40,453
Speaker 5: For whatever reason they need him to because they can

65
00:03:40,493 --> 00:03:42,173
Speaker 5: then immediately reprint.

66
00:03:41,813 --> 00:03:45,013
Speaker 4: Him and he is back the next day.

67
00:03:45,613 --> 00:03:48,973
Speaker 5: So when we meet Mickey, he's on version number seventeen.

68
00:03:50,933 --> 00:03:53,213
Speaker 5: And so this is very much a film that looks

69
00:03:53,213 --> 00:03:57,013
Speaker 5: at humans. It looks at how they're expendable. It's how

70
00:03:57,053 --> 00:03:59,453
Speaker 5: we're all expendable in the workplace. This is a film,

71
00:03:59,493 --> 00:04:01,693
Speaker 5: even though it's set in the future, is very much

72
00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:02,533
Speaker 5: about the present.

73
00:04:03,213 --> 00:04:03,933
Speaker 4: As you mentioned.

74
00:04:04,013 --> 00:04:08,373
Speaker 5: Great cast also starts Tony collect and Mark Ruffalo. I

75
00:04:08,453 --> 00:04:10,973
Speaker 5: really loved this premise and I think it starts out

76
00:04:11,093 --> 00:04:11,613
Speaker 5: very strong.

77
00:04:11,653 --> 00:04:13,373
Speaker 4: It gets a little lost in the middle, but it

78
00:04:13,413 --> 00:04:14,333
Speaker 4: does finish well.

79
00:04:14,733 --> 00:04:16,373
Speaker 5: I love the fact that as far as this is

80
00:04:16,453 --> 00:04:20,053
Speaker 5: a considering that this is a sci fi film, it's

81
00:04:20,173 --> 00:04:20,893
Speaker 5: very low fi.

82
00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:24,933
Speaker 4: It's almost retro futuristic. The spaceship they go on looks

83
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:27,853
Speaker 4: like a cargo ship. You know, it's not it's not

84
00:04:27,933 --> 00:04:29,933
Speaker 4: just because we're in the future. We've sort of everything

85
00:04:29,933 --> 00:04:32,453
Speaker 4: out and everything's slick and flashing. Great. Actually it's still

86
00:04:32,493 --> 00:04:34,813
Speaker 4: all a bit rough. Yeah, I think this is going

87
00:04:34,893 --> 00:04:36,413
Speaker 4: to be quite polarizing, this film.

88
00:04:36,453 --> 00:04:38,653
Speaker 5: I think you're either going to fall in love with

89
00:04:38,693 --> 00:04:41,973
Speaker 5: its quirkiness and enjoy its sense of humor, or you'll

90
00:04:42,013 --> 00:04:44,533
Speaker 5: think what, yeah, what is he doing?

91
00:04:44,773 --> 00:04:47,213
Speaker 4: But you should never miss a bong during hohe film.

92
00:04:47,333 --> 00:04:51,693
Speaker 3: Okay, that sounds great, well, sounds interesting. Mickey seventeen and

93
00:04:51,773 --> 00:04:56,333
Speaker 3: would you believe Francisca that yes, I have seen Parasite

94
00:04:56,653 --> 00:04:58,853
Speaker 3: and wonderful. I know. I mean, it would just be

95
00:04:58,893 --> 00:05:01,253
Speaker 3: so mean not to have seen Parasite, But I have

96
00:05:01,333 --> 00:05:04,813
Speaker 3: seen Parasite, and yeah, share in all of the adoration

97
00:05:04,973 --> 00:05:06,613
Speaker 3: that has been expressed by so many or a really

98
00:05:06,813 --> 00:05:09,413
Speaker 3: such a good film. So I'll definitely be seeing Mickey seventeen.

99
00:05:10,253 --> 00:05:12,333
Speaker 3: Next up, let's have a listen to Spit.

100
00:05:13,773 --> 00:05:27,813
Speaker 2: International feature Money and honor criminal mastermind John Francis Spettieri.

101
00:05:27,693 --> 00:05:30,533
Speaker 4: Who lock him up. This is Australia.

102
00:05:30,573 --> 00:05:32,253
Speaker 1: It's still a free country, isn't it.

103
00:05:34,173 --> 00:05:37,453
Speaker 3: That is Friend of the show. David Wenham, returning as

104
00:05:37,773 --> 00:05:41,093
Speaker 3: Spit twenty years since the film Getting Square, tell us

105
00:05:41,093 --> 00:05:41,533
Speaker 3: about Spit.

106
00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:45,173
Speaker 5: Yes, so this is I love it when a sort

107
00:05:45,213 --> 00:05:47,933
Speaker 5: of a side character suddenly becomes a lead. And as

108
00:05:47,933 --> 00:05:51,213
Speaker 5: you say, that's very much what's happened here. And David Wenham,

109
00:05:51,253 --> 00:05:53,573
Speaker 5: he just does such a beautiful job of stepping into

110
00:05:53,573 --> 00:05:57,213
Speaker 5: this character. He's just the quintessential Australian bogan and he's

111
00:05:57,253 --> 00:05:59,133
Speaker 5: got the flip flops and he's got the mullet, and

112
00:05:59,133 --> 00:06:03,533
Speaker 5: he's got this, and he's he he Kay's dumb and

113
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:05,933
Speaker 5: sometimes he is dumb, but he always has a bit

114
00:06:05,973 --> 00:06:09,253
Speaker 5: of a because he's a he's a former krim and

115
00:06:09,373 --> 00:06:13,093
Speaker 5: heroin addict, and he's returning to Australia after being after

116
00:06:13,133 --> 00:06:15,253
Speaker 5: being overseas for a very long time, and he tries

117
00:06:15,293 --> 00:06:16,733
Speaker 5: to get it on a fake passport and he gets

118
00:06:16,733 --> 00:06:18,653
Speaker 5: picked up and he gets blocked in the detention center

119
00:06:18,973 --> 00:06:22,373
Speaker 5: and then off he goes, just beautifully kind of trying

120
00:06:22,373 --> 00:06:25,333
Speaker 5: to man you you know, sort of get himself out

121
00:06:25,333 --> 00:06:29,253
Speaker 5: of there and sort of, you know, and cause a

122
00:06:29,293 --> 00:06:34,733
Speaker 5: little bit more trouble. He's he's such an infuriating character

123
00:06:35,853 --> 00:06:38,333
Speaker 5: for those around him, but he's sort of so good

124
00:06:38,333 --> 00:06:40,813
Speaker 5: and natured about it. He's such a good natured guy,

125
00:06:41,093 --> 00:06:43,253
Speaker 5: sort of goofy guy. You can't help but kind of

126
00:06:43,253 --> 00:06:46,573
Speaker 5: get drawn in to this little journey that he goes on.

127
00:06:46,613 --> 00:06:48,853
Speaker 5: And he might always be thinking about himself and how

128
00:06:48,893 --> 00:06:51,053
Speaker 5: to help himself in a situation, but.

129
00:06:50,973 --> 00:06:53,333
Speaker 4: He does sort of take other people along on the way.

130
00:06:53,773 --> 00:06:57,653
Speaker 5: So look a lot of laughs in here, But for

131
00:06:57,733 --> 00:06:59,693
Speaker 5: all the laughs in the mad cap scenario, it's a

132
00:06:59,733 --> 00:07:01,893
Speaker 5: bit of slapstick kind of comedy as well.

133
00:07:02,053 --> 00:07:04,493
Speaker 4: There are some sort of pointed political.

134
00:07:04,013 --> 00:07:06,893
Speaker 5: Barbs, especially around issues such as the brief Jess and

135
00:07:06,893 --> 00:07:11,173
Speaker 5: migrants and things, so it certainly doesn't hesitate to also

136
00:07:11,293 --> 00:07:16,173
Speaker 5: kind of make if you make comments about Australia today

137
00:07:16,213 --> 00:07:18,653
Speaker 5: and things like that. Yeah, I don't think you don't

138
00:07:18,653 --> 00:07:22,933
Speaker 5: need to have seen Getting Square to enjoy this film

139
00:07:22,933 --> 00:07:24,613
Speaker 5: and this character, because he really does.

140
00:07:24,853 --> 00:07:27,573
Speaker 4: He really does owner it. So yeah, good fun another

141
00:07:27,573 --> 00:07:30,413
Speaker 4: are contrived at times, but good fun is. David Wnham

142
00:07:30,453 --> 00:07:31,333
Speaker 4: is absolutely fabulous.

143
00:07:31,573 --> 00:07:33,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he really is. Thank you so much, Frantasica.
