Let's 17 00:01:16,093 --> 00:01:18,973 Speaker 2: start off with a listen to the film starring the 18 00:01:19,013 --> 00:01:25,013 Speaker 2: one and only Ryan Gosling. This is Project Hail Mary. 19 00:01:27,533 --> 00:01:28,413 Speaker 2: Please state to your. 20 00:01:28,453 --> 00:01:29,693 Speaker 1: Name Ryanan Grace. 21 00:01:30,413 --> 00:01:33,613 Speaker 2: He s wung up from a coma host several light 22 00:01:33,693 --> 00:01:34,773 Speaker 2: years from my apartment. 23 00:01:35,533 --> 00:01:41,773 Speaker 3: And I'm not an astronaut. I'm not an astronaut. I'm 24 00:01:41,773 --> 00:01:46,053 Speaker 3: not an astronaut. If you don't go, you die with 25 00:01:46,253 --> 00:01:47,493 Speaker 3: the rest of us. 26 00:01:50,293 --> 00:01:52,413 Speaker 2: Okay, that's project al Mary tell us about it. 27 00:01:53,053 --> 00:01:56,173 Speaker 3: This film is quite lovely, which is probably an unusual 28 00:01:56,253 --> 00:01:59,373 Speaker 3: word to describe a sci fi film. I didn't sort 29 00:01:59,373 --> 00:02:01,933 Speaker 3: of think it would be lovely. It is a script 30 00:02:03,293 --> 00:02:05,973 Speaker 3: written by Drew Goddard. It's based on a book by 31 00:02:06,013 --> 00:02:09,613 Speaker 3: Andy where these two were behind the film The Martian, 32 00:02:09,653 --> 00:02:12,493 Speaker 3: and this is an adaptation of another weird book. It's 33 00:02:12,493 --> 00:02:16,053 Speaker 3: directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who are well 34 00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:19,693 Speaker 3: known for films like Cloud with a Chance, That Cloud Were, 35 00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:22,413 Speaker 3: The Chance of meat Balls, and the lego movie So 36 00:02:23,773 --> 00:02:28,373 Speaker 3: Cloudy Chance. I love these films. They're very joyful filmmakers. 37 00:02:28,453 --> 00:02:32,573 Speaker 3: They try to sort of you know, they put a 38 00:02:32,573 --> 00:02:34,373 Speaker 3: lot of humor into their films. There is a lot 39 00:02:34,373 --> 00:02:37,533 Speaker 3: of action in this film as well. There's moments of jeopardy, 40 00:02:38,213 --> 00:02:41,333 Speaker 3: but there's also a lot of moments of contemplation and 41 00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:45,493 Speaker 3: sort of considering what is your why or you're who 42 00:02:45,693 --> 00:02:48,053 Speaker 3: in the world that might make you an incredibly brave 43 00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:50,693 Speaker 3: person that would enable you to save the world. So 44 00:02:50,813 --> 00:02:54,173 Speaker 3: Ryan plays a former middle school science teacher. He wakes 45 00:02:54,293 --> 00:02:56,253 Speaker 3: up at the beginning of this film on a spaceship. 46 00:02:56,293 --> 00:02:58,853 Speaker 3: He's got a bit of about of amnesia. He is 47 00:02:58,893 --> 00:03:01,533 Speaker 3: the only survivor. He's not sure what he's doing there, 48 00:03:01,853 --> 00:03:03,933 Speaker 3: and his memory slowly comes back to him and we 49 00:03:04,013 --> 00:03:06,133 Speaker 3: have these sort of flashbacks and we see the life 50 00:03:06,493 --> 00:03:08,493 Speaker 3: he was leading before he ended up on this ship. 51 00:03:09,093 --> 00:03:12,333 Speaker 3: He plays his character Ryland Grace, and he's a molecular 52 00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:16,213 Speaker 3: biologist turns school teacher because his career he came up 53 00:03:16,253 --> 00:03:18,453 Speaker 3: with a few ideas yet that other people didn't you 54 00:03:18,573 --> 00:03:23,213 Speaker 3: kind of think were reasonable and rational. Anyway, what's basically 55 00:03:23,213 --> 00:03:27,013 Speaker 3: happening is the Sun is dying. It's slowly being devoured 56 00:03:27,053 --> 00:03:33,853 Speaker 3: by this tiny extraterrestrial organism and basically the Earth is 57 00:03:33,893 --> 00:03:35,973 Speaker 3: going to call. The crops are going to fail. There'll 58 00:03:36,013 --> 00:03:38,973 Speaker 3: be a economic collapse as well. People will starve over 59 00:03:39,013 --> 00:03:43,573 Speaker 3: the next thirty years. And so Sandra Hulla, who stars 60 00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:49,693 Speaker 3: as sort of this person who's responsible for pulling all 61 00:03:49,733 --> 00:03:51,413 Speaker 3: sorts of people from all around the world to try 62 00:03:51,453 --> 00:03:55,093 Speaker 3: and solve this problem, right, and she pulls in Grace 63 00:03:55,253 --> 00:03:56,813 Speaker 3: and he is one of the people that is trying 64 00:03:56,853 --> 00:03:58,253 Speaker 3: to help solve it, and he does come up with 65 00:03:58,293 --> 00:04:01,093 Speaker 3: a few good ideas and finds some stuff on this 66 00:04:01,253 --> 00:04:06,013 Speaker 3: ship and he is alone, but he also encounters another 67 00:04:06,093 --> 00:04:12,253 Speaker 3: being which is a spider like rock alien, and they 68 00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:14,533 Speaker 3: learn to communicate with each other and become friends, and 69 00:04:14,573 --> 00:04:19,413 Speaker 3: together they go about trying to save their planets. Ryan's 70 00:04:19,573 --> 00:04:23,293 Speaker 3: character is goofy. He's quite messy, a bit clumsy. He 71 00:04:23,373 --> 00:04:26,653 Speaker 3: sort of has to use mcguiver like skills in order 72 00:04:26,693 --> 00:04:29,013 Speaker 3: to try and survive on the spaceship. It is actually 73 00:04:29,053 --> 00:04:33,333 Speaker 3: a very old fashioned kind of blockbuster. It's a great 74 00:04:33,373 --> 00:04:35,773 Speaker 3: one for the whole family, I think, not not the 75 00:04:35,813 --> 00:04:39,373 Speaker 3: little kids, your tweens and your teens and things. It's 76 00:04:39,413 --> 00:04:41,933 Speaker 3: sort of an adventure that you can all go on together. 77 00:04:42,413 --> 00:04:46,213 Speaker 3: Doesn't all work, but as I said, actually quite lovely, entertaining, 78 00:04:46,773 --> 00:04:49,413 Speaker 3: quite long, but cool. Good. Yeah. 79 00:04:50,133 --> 00:04:54,053 Speaker 2: So that's Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Goslin. Another film, 80 00:04:54,173 --> 00:04:58,373 Speaker 2: another heart Throb. This one stars Alexander scars Guard. It's Brillian. 81 00:04:58,653 --> 00:05:00,093 Speaker 3: What am I going to do with you? 82 00:05:00,773 --> 00:05:03,933 Speaker 1: Whatever you want any give you cash? 83 00:05:04,293 --> 00:05:06,213 Speaker 2: I don't think it's any of your business. 84 00:05:06,733 --> 00:05:07,213 Speaker 3: Are we not? 85 00:05:10,573 --> 00:05:13,213 Speaker 2: How do you get a man like that I have 86 00:05:13,293 --> 00:05:19,733 Speaker 2: an aptitude for devotion. Okay, that's Prillian tell us about it. 87 00:05:19,773 --> 00:05:21,973 Speaker 3: So this is a love story with the dark comedic 88 00:05:22,093 --> 00:05:24,533 Speaker 3: edge to it. We have this character Colin. He's a 89 00:05:24,613 --> 00:05:27,733 Speaker 3: very timid man. He performs in a barber shop quartete 90 00:05:27,733 --> 00:05:29,573 Speaker 3: with his father at the local pub, and then one 91 00:05:29,653 --> 00:05:33,653 Speaker 3: night he meets this very tall, confident, dashing man played 92 00:05:33,653 --> 00:05:39,973 Speaker 3: by Alexander Sasgard, and that he initiates. Skarsguard's character initiates 93 00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:44,613 Speaker 3: a relationship with Colin Colin where he is his submissive. 94 00:05:44,733 --> 00:05:47,253 Speaker 3: So Colin kind of is very excited that he's got 95 00:05:47,253 --> 00:05:50,973 Speaker 3: this incredibly attractive boyfriend, his first ever boyfriend, his first 96 00:05:51,053 --> 00:05:54,533 Speaker 3: ever relationship. But he slowly works out how it's supposed 97 00:05:54,573 --> 00:05:56,453 Speaker 3: to work. So he goes to his home, He cooks, 98 00:05:56,453 --> 00:05:59,133 Speaker 3: he cleans, he sleeps on the floor. He is very 99 00:05:59,173 --> 00:06:02,453 Speaker 3: much treated as submissive, and it look it is it 100 00:06:02,533 --> 00:06:04,853 Speaker 3: is unusual to get your head around. It's quite disrespectful. 101 00:06:04,853 --> 00:06:10,373 Speaker 3: It's very much a learning experience for Colin, and we 102 00:06:10,493 --> 00:06:12,893 Speaker 3: know it's not sustainable and we know it's not healthy, 103 00:06:13,453 --> 00:06:15,813 Speaker 3: but it is this beautiful opportunity for Colin to work 104 00:06:15,853 --> 00:06:17,893 Speaker 3: out who he is and what he wants from life 105 00:06:17,933 --> 00:06:20,453 Speaker 3: and the kind of relationship he wants in things. He 106 00:06:20,533 --> 00:06:23,493 Speaker 3: can't ride pillion forever. He's got to sort of step 107 00:06:23,533 --> 00:06:26,453 Speaker 3: out on his own, and that's what this debut feature 108 00:06:26,733 --> 00:06:30,733 Speaker 3: from Harry Lyton is all about. It's very tender, it's 109 00:06:30,933 --> 00:06:33,493 Speaker 3: darkly funny. As I mentioned, it's awkward at times. It's 110 00:06:33,533 --> 00:06:37,453 Speaker 3: quite gratuitous, so you know, probably this is more for 111 00:06:37,493 --> 00:06:41,013 Speaker 3: the discerning film goer. But some great performances in here, and. 112 00:06:40,973 --> 00:06:42,213 Speaker 2: It isn't one for the whole family. 113 00:06:42,373 --> 00:06:44,413 Speaker 3: No, this is not for the whole family at all. 114 00:06:44,653 --> 00:06:47,573 Speaker 3: But it is really love you to see different love 115 00:06:47,613 --> 00:06:48,253 Speaker 3: stories on screen. 116 00:06:48,373 --> 00:06:50,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I say this a very good point. Okay. Cool. 117 00:06:50,293 --> 00:06:53,573 Speaker 2: So that's Pillion that's in cinemas at the moment. Project 118 00:06:53,573 --> 00:06:55,933 Speaker 2: Hail Mary is also showing at the movies.
