1
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,773
Speaker 1: from newstalk st B.

3
00:00:13,053 --> 00:00:15,573
Speaker 2: Twenty seven past ten. You know what that means. It's

4
00:00:15,613 --> 00:00:18,413
Speaker 2: screen time time on news talk, said b Tara Ward

5
00:00:18,453 --> 00:00:21,573
Speaker 2: has three shows to tell us all about. Hey Tara,

6
00:00:21,893 --> 00:00:24,493
Speaker 2: good morning. Let's begin with a new show streaming on

7
00:00:24,533 --> 00:00:27,893
Speaker 2: TV and Z Plus starring Julianne Moore, tell us about

8
00:00:27,933 --> 00:00:29,453
Speaker 2: Mary and George.

9
00:00:30,973 --> 00:00:33,173
Speaker 3: This is a new historical drama. And if you think

10
00:00:33,413 --> 00:00:36,213
Speaker 3: historical dramas are a bit boring or a bit stuffy,

11
00:00:36,493 --> 00:00:38,733
Speaker 3: I think this one will change your mind. This is

12
00:00:38,973 --> 00:00:41,333
Speaker 3: a British drama set in the sixteen hundreds and it's

13
00:00:41,373 --> 00:00:44,813
Speaker 3: about the Villiers family who are led by the matriarch Mary,

14
00:00:44,853 --> 00:00:48,093
Speaker 3: who's played by Julianne Moore. And Mary is this cunning,

15
00:00:48,253 --> 00:00:52,173
Speaker 3: calculating woman. She's a desperate social climber and she'll do

16
00:00:52,253 --> 00:00:54,613
Speaker 3: whatever it takes for her family to survive. And she

17
00:00:54,693 --> 00:00:57,853
Speaker 3: hatches this plan for her second son to become a

18
00:00:57,973 --> 00:01:00,373
Speaker 3: romantic interest of the king. And the show is about

19
00:01:00,413 --> 00:01:03,053
Speaker 3: how she schemes and plots and pulls all sorts of

20
00:01:03,093 --> 00:01:05,533
Speaker 3: strings for her son to gain this position of power

21
00:01:05,853 --> 00:01:08,173
Speaker 3: in a world where a lot of other powerful people

22
00:01:08,253 --> 00:01:11,093
Speaker 3: are determined to keep her and her family in their place.

23
00:01:11,653 --> 00:01:13,533
Speaker 3: It is based on a true story, although I'm not

24
00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:16,213
Speaker 3: too sure how historically accurate it is, and I don't

25
00:01:16,253 --> 00:01:18,893
Speaker 3: think the show cares too much. It's just having a

26
00:01:18,893 --> 00:01:22,213
Speaker 3: lot of fun here. This look stunning. The costumes and

27
00:01:22,293 --> 00:01:24,693
Speaker 3: the sets are just so rich and gorgeous. It's just

28
00:01:24,813 --> 00:01:28,533
Speaker 3: beautiful to watch. And it's full of this really dark humor.

29
00:01:28,573 --> 00:01:32,293
Speaker 3: It's quite irreverent, and just so much energy and attitude here.

30
00:01:33,013 --> 00:01:35,293
Speaker 3: I think if you're a fan of the Favorite or

31
00:01:35,373 --> 00:01:37,613
Speaker 3: the Great, you know, it feels quite similar to that

32
00:01:37,653 --> 00:01:41,373
Speaker 3: those historical shows, but with some real energy and sharp

33
00:01:41,453 --> 00:01:42,933
Speaker 3: and funny and lots of dark humor.

34
00:01:43,013 --> 00:01:45,373
Speaker 2: Oh good, Okay, that sounds great. Mary and George is

35
00:01:45,413 --> 00:01:49,453
Speaker 2: on TV and Z Plus on Prime Video. I am Celendon.

36
00:01:51,413 --> 00:01:51,613
Speaker 1: Yeah.

37
00:01:51,613 --> 00:01:55,213
Speaker 3: This is the new highly anticipated documentary about the life

38
00:01:55,253 --> 00:01:59,013
Speaker 3: of superstar singer Selendion, and it was filmed not long

39
00:01:59,093 --> 00:02:02,533
Speaker 3: after her diagnosis with a very rare condition called stiff

40
00:02:02,573 --> 00:02:05,373
Speaker 3: person syndrome, which has meant she hasn't been able to

41
00:02:05,413 --> 00:02:07,533
Speaker 3: perform for a few years now and she can't sing

42
00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:10,213
Speaker 3: like she used to, and a lot of the documentary

43
00:02:10,253 --> 00:02:12,813
Speaker 3: is about her coming to terms with that diagnosis and

44
00:02:12,853 --> 00:02:15,333
Speaker 3: the struggle of not being able to perform, and for

45
00:02:15,413 --> 00:02:18,853
Speaker 3: someone whose life has her whole life has been performance

46
00:02:18,893 --> 00:02:21,333
Speaker 3: in music and singing in front of thousands of people

47
00:02:21,333 --> 00:02:24,253
Speaker 3: every night, having to step away from that not on

48
00:02:24,293 --> 00:02:28,093
Speaker 3: her own terms is quite devastating for her. So this

49
00:02:28,173 --> 00:02:30,693
Speaker 3: is Celindion as we've never seen her before. And often

50
00:02:30,733 --> 00:02:34,013
Speaker 3: when you watch a documentary about a famous person or

51
00:02:34,053 --> 00:02:37,253
Speaker 3: a musical icon, there's a certain level of ego involved.

52
00:02:37,293 --> 00:02:41,413
Speaker 3: You know, they're conscious or protective about what about being

53
00:02:41,453 --> 00:02:44,093
Speaker 3: seen in a certain way. But there's no ego here.

54
00:02:44,093 --> 00:02:47,293
Speaker 3: This is Celindion, you know, without a scrap of makeup on,

55
00:02:47,413 --> 00:02:50,573
Speaker 3: she is raw and emotional. There's some very tough scenes

56
00:02:50,613 --> 00:02:53,293
Speaker 3: in this. It really captures the reality of her life

57
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:56,493
Speaker 3: now and it is hard to watch at times, but

58
00:02:56,533 --> 00:02:58,573
Speaker 3: there's hope here as well. And it's less of a

59
00:02:58,613 --> 00:03:00,933
Speaker 3: look back on her career, which was kind of a

60
00:03:00,973 --> 00:03:03,293
Speaker 3: bit more of what I was expecting and more of

61
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:05,933
Speaker 3: a this is where I am now sort of explaining

62
00:03:05,933 --> 00:03:08,693
Speaker 3: that to her fans. But you'll need the tissues for this,

63
00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:09,453
Speaker 3: without a doubt.

64
00:03:09,493 --> 00:03:11,893
Speaker 2: Oh nice, Well, yeah, it sounds really good to see

65
00:03:11,893 --> 00:03:16,813
Speaker 2: her in that kind of unvarnished state. So that's I

66
00:03:16,853 --> 00:03:19,933
Speaker 2: Am Celene Beyond. That's on Prime Video on Disney plas.

67
00:03:19,973 --> 00:03:22,733
Speaker 2: The third season of the ever popular The Bear.

68
00:03:24,533 --> 00:03:27,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the most intense shows on television is back.

69
00:03:27,133 --> 00:03:29,613
Speaker 3: And this is the award winning series about a chef

70
00:03:29,653 --> 00:03:32,133
Speaker 3: called Kami who comes home after the death of his

71
00:03:32,213 --> 00:03:35,733
Speaker 3: brother and starts running the family restaurant in Chicago. He's

72
00:03:35,773 --> 00:03:39,133
Speaker 3: determined to turn this run down but much love Sandwich

73
00:03:39,213 --> 00:03:43,053
Speaker 3: bar into a Michelin star restaurant and somehow bring his

74
00:03:43,093 --> 00:03:47,253
Speaker 3: staff with him despite their reluctance and lack of formal training.

75
00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:49,973
Speaker 3: And season three picks up with the restaurant about to open.

76
00:03:50,053 --> 00:03:52,653
Speaker 3: There's quite a different feel to the first episode at least,

77
00:03:53,093 --> 00:03:54,893
Speaker 3: but if you haven't seen The Bee yet, I really

78
00:03:55,173 --> 00:03:59,013
Speaker 3: really recommend it. It's gritty and intense, and those early

79
00:03:59,053 --> 00:04:01,333
Speaker 3: episodes it feels like you're actually in the kitchen. It's

80
00:04:01,373 --> 00:04:05,653
Speaker 3: quite stressful. The show keeps winning awards in the comedy category,

81
00:04:05,693 --> 00:04:08,053
Speaker 3: but it's definitely not a comedy. This is a drama,

82
00:04:08,213 --> 00:04:10,493
Speaker 3: and a drama with a lot of heart as well.

83
00:04:10,413 --> 00:04:13,413
Speaker 2: And so the leads. The lead actor Jeremy Allen White

84
00:04:13,813 --> 00:04:16,053
Speaker 2: is he's sort of become a bit of a superstar

85
00:04:16,213 --> 00:04:18,093
Speaker 2: kind of over night. Really. I know he was, he

86
00:04:18,213 --> 00:04:20,373
Speaker 2: had a fair success before, but he's really kind of

87
00:04:20,373 --> 00:04:23,893
Speaker 2: gone through to the next strata in terms of success.

88
00:04:23,933 --> 00:04:25,493
Speaker 2: You know, he's a very much a Hollywood a lister.

89
00:04:25,573 --> 00:04:27,973
Speaker 2: Now I might be putting on the spot here, Tara,

90
00:04:29,053 --> 00:04:30,853
Speaker 2: what do you think do you think he's Do you

91
00:04:30,893 --> 00:04:31,733
Speaker 2: think he's really handsome?

92
00:04:33,053 --> 00:04:35,693
Speaker 3: I do think he's really handsome. Yeah, there's there's something

93
00:04:35,853 --> 00:04:38,773
Speaker 3: I think because he's, as you know, he's quite different

94
00:04:38,933 --> 00:04:42,933
Speaker 3: and not necessarily trying to fit that mold. Like everything

95
00:04:42,973 --> 00:04:46,453
Speaker 3: about the Bear is sort of against that Hollywood TV

96
00:04:46,573 --> 00:04:49,373
Speaker 3: show kind of idea. So I think that's maybe the

97
00:04:49,413 --> 00:04:51,613
Speaker 3: appeal that he's quite different to that sort of standard

98
00:04:51,973 --> 00:04:53,693
Speaker 3: Hollywood manufactured hero.

99
00:04:53,933 --> 00:04:56,213
Speaker 2: Because yeah, well, I mean you're not alone. I know

100
00:04:56,253 --> 00:04:57,413
Speaker 2: that he's sort of put up as a bit of

101
00:04:57,413 --> 00:04:59,213
Speaker 2: a heart throb, but of a pin up these days.

102
00:04:59,253 --> 00:05:01,053
Speaker 2: My wife has made it very clear that she thinks

103
00:05:01,093 --> 00:05:03,453
Speaker 2: he's rather handsome as well, but of a dish. So

104
00:05:05,333 --> 00:05:07,293
Speaker 2: whether or not you find this stressful as one thing,

105
00:05:07,333 --> 00:05:09,613
Speaker 2: but there are plenty of reasons to watch the beer.

106
00:05:10,293 --> 00:05:12,893
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, exactly, Thank you so much, Sara,

107
