She got through just just for the hot water. 14 00:00:59,813 --> 00:01:05,653 Speaker 3: So that's so, that's good. Happy days. All you can 15 00:01:05,693 --> 00:01:09,533 Speaker 3: do is laugh.

Thought you know you 20 00:01:21,733 --> 00:01:26,653 Speaker 2: can to fly from you know, christ Church to Aalkland thing. 21 00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:30,453 Speaker 3: Yes, the airlines. The airlines obviously aren't aware of the 22 00:01:30,693 --> 00:01:32,933 Speaker 3: dates for the for the Uni holidays so they know 23 00:01:33,013 --> 00:01:36,013 Speaker 3: that there's not you know, a lot of people wanting to. 24 00:01:35,973 --> 00:01:40,973 Speaker 2: Fly all over the place anyway, So you make I'm sorry, 25 00:01:40,973 --> 00:01:42,693 Speaker 2: it's going to cost me considering more than twenty five 26 00:01:43,093 --> 00:01:43,493 Speaker 2: that's true. 27 00:01:43,733 --> 00:01:46,853 Speaker 3: That's true. You here with our movie picts this week. 28 00:01:46,853 --> 00:01:50,253 Speaker 3: Two quite interesting sounding films. Let's start off with one 29 00:01:50,293 --> 00:01:52,893 Speaker 3: that has a lot of people talking, starring Liam Neeson 30 00:01:52,933 --> 00:01:56,773 Speaker 3: and Pamela Anderson. This is the Naked Gun. Once you 31 00:01:56,933 --> 00:01:59,013 Speaker 3: kill a man for revenge, there's not going back. 32 00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:02,573 Speaker 2: A voice in your head saying, oh. 33 00:02:05,693 --> 00:02:06,293 Speaker 1: That was us? 34 00:02:10,293 --> 00:02:13,973 Speaker 2: Who are you driven? Detective Frank Drebbn. 35 00:02:16,453 --> 00:02:20,133 Speaker 3: Okay, this is tongue in cheek to say the least. 36 00:02:20,213 --> 00:02:23,053 Speaker 2: This is a spoof. This is very much a spoof, 37 00:02:23,133 --> 00:02:27,093 Speaker 2: a copspoof, comedy, basic kind of films that he does. Yes, 38 00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:29,693 Speaker 2: based of course on the original which I think was 39 00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:33,333 Speaker 2: released late eighties, and there was a few others that 40 00:02:33,373 --> 00:02:35,773 Speaker 2: went with it. There was Everplane in Top Secret, which 41 00:02:35,813 --> 00:02:38,853 Speaker 2: was kind of like a spy spoof as well. Everyone 42 00:02:38,853 --> 00:02:41,813 Speaker 2: will remember Leslie Nielsen. He was the star of these shows. 43 00:02:41,853 --> 00:02:46,053 Speaker 2: He wasn't always you know, this kind of comedic actor, 44 00:02:46,493 --> 00:02:49,893 Speaker 2: but I think it's what we mostly remember him for. 45 00:02:50,453 --> 00:02:54,693 Speaker 2: Frank Drebbon and in this ringmake liam Nesson takes on 46 00:02:54,733 --> 00:02:58,413 Speaker 2: the role of Frank Dribbon junior, his son, and he 47 00:02:58,533 --> 00:03:01,413 Speaker 2: has that sort of same poker face, that same dead 48 00:03:01,533 --> 00:03:04,693 Speaker 2: pan kind of delivery, and as you mentioned, he's kind 49 00:03:04,693 --> 00:03:07,293 Speaker 2: of taking the mickey out of that tough guy you know, 50 00:03:09,213 --> 00:03:13,893 Speaker 2: I don't know, we've kind of that. He's made a 51 00:03:14,013 --> 00:03:16,293 Speaker 2: sort of a late career out of so he's a 52 00:03:16,333 --> 00:03:20,093 Speaker 2: really great choice and he totally totally dedicates himself to 53 00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:24,253 Speaker 2: this role. I'd like to say at this point, I 54 00:03:24,293 --> 00:03:27,453 Speaker 2: don't find personally, I don't find this kind of comedy 55 00:03:27,533 --> 00:03:32,973 Speaker 2: really funny. It's too obvious for me. It's all sight 56 00:03:33,133 --> 00:03:35,613 Speaker 2: gags which kind of make me smile, but they don't 57 00:03:35,613 --> 00:03:37,613 Speaker 2: crack me out. They don't take me by surprise and 58 00:03:37,653 --> 00:03:40,813 Speaker 2: make me laugh out loud. So this is not a 59 00:03:40,813 --> 00:03:42,493 Speaker 2: film for me, and I think it's important I should 60 00:03:42,493 --> 00:03:46,693 Speaker 2: say that up front. If you loved these spoofs, you know, 61 00:03:46,813 --> 00:03:49,213 Speaker 2: Nake a Gun and airplane and things like that, if 62 00:03:49,253 --> 00:03:52,373 Speaker 2: you loved them back in the day, you're gonna absolutely 63 00:03:52,413 --> 00:03:55,013 Speaker 2: love this. I don't think it quite surpasses the original, 64 00:03:55,453 --> 00:03:59,133 Speaker 2: but it's the same kind of thing, and I think 65 00:03:59,173 --> 00:04:00,853 Speaker 2: you're going to really dig it. And probably what I 66 00:04:00,933 --> 00:04:03,453 Speaker 2: enjoyed the most was watching this in a full theater 67 00:04:03,853 --> 00:04:05,453 Speaker 2: because there was a woman at the back who was 68 00:04:05,533 --> 00:04:08,573 Speaker 2: crackling with laughing so loud. I just loved listening to her. 69 00:04:09,173 --> 00:04:11,493 Speaker 2: I have so much joy watching this film. It's a 70 00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:13,173 Speaker 2: bit like Sat. Day Night Live. Do you find Sat 71 00:04:13,213 --> 00:04:15,213 Speaker 2: Day Night GAG's funny? They kind of make me smell 72 00:04:15,253 --> 00:04:16,573 Speaker 2: but I don't get them that don't make me laugh 73 00:04:16,573 --> 00:04:19,813 Speaker 2: out loud vaguely? Yeah, yeah, totally. So that's how I 74 00:04:19,853 --> 00:04:22,813 Speaker 2: find this kind of comedy. So for me, this isn't 75 00:04:22,813 --> 00:04:24,893 Speaker 2: for me. This is kind of like pulling teeth a little. 76 00:04:24,893 --> 00:04:26,853 Speaker 2: But I had a director once who told me, Jack, 77 00:04:26,893 --> 00:04:28,733 Speaker 2: the more you tell a joke, the funnier it gets. 78 00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,453 Speaker 2: And I would say this film is proof that that 79 00:04:31,573 --> 00:04:34,613 Speaker 2: is not necessarily true, because you know, there's the whole 80 00:04:34,653 --> 00:04:36,853 Speaker 2: gag with cops. You know that everyone they always got 81 00:04:36,853 --> 00:04:39,053 Speaker 2: a coffee in their hand, and everybody laughed. At the 82 00:04:39,053 --> 00:04:40,693 Speaker 2: beginning of this film. I did notice that the lass 83 00:04:40,733 --> 00:04:43,213 Speaker 2: did dry up the last did drive about halfway through 84 00:04:43,413 --> 00:04:45,733 Speaker 2: watching this film, and everyone was kind of okay on 85 00:04:45,813 --> 00:04:46,693 Speaker 2: again and again. 86 00:04:46,693 --> 00:04:47,013 Speaker 1: But nook. 87 00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:50,093 Speaker 2: Pamela Anderson also stars, and she is she has a 88 00:04:50,133 --> 00:04:52,173 Speaker 2: standout scene in a jazz club where she does a 89 00:04:52,213 --> 00:04:55,013 Speaker 2: sort of a scat song in order to give Liam 90 00:04:55,053 --> 00:04:58,533 Speaker 2: Neeson's character time to kind of find some information, and 91 00:04:58,573 --> 00:05:00,573 Speaker 2: that is she does a really good job of that, 92 00:05:00,773 --> 00:05:04,093 Speaker 2: and it's and it's it's quite good. But look, basically 93 00:05:04,093 --> 00:05:06,973 Speaker 2: the films. When the film starts, there's a bank high 94 00:05:07,013 --> 00:05:10,133 Speaker 2: and what they steal out of a safe deposit box 95 00:05:10,253 --> 00:05:13,413 Speaker 2: is a device which has on it plot device. Right now, 96 00:05:13,413 --> 00:05:16,333 Speaker 2: if you think that is absolutely hilarious and that thing, 97 00:05:16,853 --> 00:05:18,893 Speaker 2: you were gonna love this film. And that's where I 98 00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:25,093 Speaker 2: probably actually, yeah, I kind of like that. That's my 99 00:05:25,213 --> 00:05:27,733 Speaker 2: sense of humor. Then go and enjoy. Lots of other 100 00:05:27,773 --> 00:05:30,013 Speaker 2: people are enjoying it. But yeah, I just have to 101 00:05:30,053 --> 00:05:31,973 Speaker 2: be honest with you. This this isn't kind of my 102 00:05:32,453 --> 00:05:32,853 Speaker 2: fair enough. 103 00:05:32,893 --> 00:05:35,133 Speaker 3: Okay, that's the naked gun. What about the chemistry? Was 104 00:05:35,133 --> 00:05:36,493 Speaker 3: the big chemistry between old. 105 00:05:36,533 --> 00:05:40,013 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, they were quite charming together. Yeah, okay, yeah, 106 00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:41,813 Speaker 2: if you can get through the silliness. 107 00:05:41,893 --> 00:05:44,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's the naked gun that's showing in cinema's 108 00:05:44,733 --> 00:05:47,253 Speaker 3: also showing in cinemas. Let's have a listen to workmates, 109 00:05:47,693 --> 00:05:48,573 Speaker 3: this is. 110 00:05:48,493 --> 00:05:49,573 Speaker 2: A professional production. 111 00:05:50,453 --> 00:06:00,533 Speaker 3: Is this a professional theater? This is a New Zealand 112 00:06:00,533 --> 00:06:02,333 Speaker 3: film from the International Film Festival. 113 00:06:02,373 --> 00:06:04,133 Speaker 2: This is one I found quite funny. I do have 114 00:06:04,133 --> 00:06:07,373 Speaker 2: a sense of humors. Saphie Henderson wrote this script and 115 00:06:07,413 --> 00:06:09,373 Speaker 2: she also stars in it as Lucy along with Matt 116 00:06:09,373 --> 00:06:11,973 Speaker 2: Whelan as Tom, and they are brilliant together. Their chemistry 117 00:06:12,013 --> 00:06:14,253 Speaker 2: is fantastic. I'm presuming that they've worked together and know 118 00:06:14,293 --> 00:06:18,813 Speaker 2: each other quite well. They co manage a theater in Auckland, 119 00:06:19,973 --> 00:06:22,493 Speaker 2: and the film is based on Sophie's own experience of 120 00:06:22,573 --> 00:06:24,453 Speaker 2: running the Basement Theatre when they actually shot the film 121 00:06:24,453 --> 00:06:25,853 Speaker 2: at the Basement theater. And this is the point with 122 00:06:25,973 --> 00:06:28,493 Speaker 2: the theater. Would like me to say that self, that 123 00:06:29,093 --> 00:06:33,693 Speaker 2: health and safety has changed an awful lot since Sophie 124 00:06:33,773 --> 00:06:35,813 Speaker 2: worked there and based this film on it, because there's 125 00:06:35,853 --> 00:06:39,173 Speaker 2: some very funny things that these two do in order 126 00:06:39,213 --> 00:06:43,693 Speaker 2: to keep this theater going, which would of course not 127 00:06:43,773 --> 00:06:46,253 Speaker 2: be allowed today, because you know, we love a road cone. 128 00:06:46,493 --> 00:06:49,493 Speaker 2: So I just like I know that Sophie did say 129 00:06:49,533 --> 00:06:52,093 Speaker 2: to me, oh, she said the theater is going. We're 130 00:06:52,133 --> 00:06:53,533 Speaker 2: not like that now, So I'm just going to put 131 00:06:53,533 --> 00:06:56,173 Speaker 2: that out there. But look, I think this is a 132 00:06:56,173 --> 00:06:59,933 Speaker 2: great film. Yes, they go to these incredible links to 133 00:07:00,013 --> 00:07:03,013 Speaker 2: keep the theater going, but there is a film about theater, 134 00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:05,693 Speaker 2: and it's a love letter to theater and the incredible 135 00:07:05,693 --> 00:07:09,173 Speaker 2: people who work and the arts who just make things 136 00:07:09,293 --> 00:07:12,693 Speaker 2: happen and provide platforms for other people with very little money. 137 00:07:12,853 --> 00:07:16,413 Speaker 2: It's also a coming of age story. So Lucy absolutely 138 00:07:16,453 --> 00:07:18,613 Speaker 2: loves her job and is very dedicated to it and 139 00:07:18,653 --> 00:07:21,613 Speaker 2: can't really see herself ever moving on. Tom however, is 140 00:07:21,653 --> 00:07:23,373 Speaker 2: in a relation to a bat but have a baby 141 00:07:23,373 --> 00:07:25,853 Speaker 2: and knows career wise he needs to take sort of 142 00:07:25,893 --> 00:07:28,133 Speaker 2: a step forward. So then Lucy wonders whether she's in 143 00:07:28,173 --> 00:07:30,133 Speaker 2: love with Tom, and she makes a wonderful mess of that. 144 00:07:30,693 --> 00:07:34,853 Speaker 2: And that's what I like about Sophie Henderson's films is 145 00:07:34,933 --> 00:07:38,613 Speaker 2: she writes real and relatable characters and they're messy, and 146 00:07:39,333 --> 00:07:41,213 Speaker 2: you know there will be moments where you're watching these 147 00:07:41,293 --> 00:07:43,653 Speaker 2: characters and you will recognize these people. You will know 148 00:07:43,693 --> 00:07:45,253 Speaker 2: one of these people or what they're doing or what 149 00:07:45,293 --> 00:07:47,773 Speaker 2: they're going through. So this is a fabulous film. It 150 00:07:48,133 --> 00:07:50,293 Speaker 2: premiered at the New Zealand International Film Festival. It is 151 00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:53,453 Speaker 2: back now in cinemas. That's one I had a good 152 00:07:53,493 --> 00:07:54,173 Speaker 2: life at great. 153 00:07:54,213 --> 00:07:57,253 Speaker 3: It sounds really good. So that's work mates. I'm looking 154 00:07:57,253 --> 00:07:59,013 Speaker 3: forward to seeing that the thing about the basement theater 155 00:07:59,093 --> 00:07:59,973 Speaker 3: has got very low roof. 156 00:08:01,293 --> 00:08:03,933 Speaker 2: Yes, you know, clustrophobican. 157 00:08:04,133 --> 00:08:06,373 Speaker 3: Well, I just when I go in there, I'm always 158 00:08:06,613 --> 00:08:08,333 Speaker 3: very aware of it. It's like being in a submarine. 159 00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:10,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I suppose if you knew that 160 00:08:10,453 --> 00:08:12,813 Speaker 2: sometimes that they put sort of ice cream containers over 161 00:08:12,813 --> 00:08:17,653 Speaker 2: the smoke over the smoke alarms, so that you know, yeah, yeah, 162 00:08:17,693 --> 00:08:18,293 Speaker 2: things didn't. 163 00:08:18,133 --> 00:08:21,933 Speaker 3: Go I'm sure. I'm sure that I just standards that 164 00:08:21,933 --> 00:08:24,453 Speaker 3: are safety is up to speak of course, of course 165 00:08:24,493 --> 00:08:27,173 Speaker 3: it's okay, So that is work mate. Francisca's first pick 166 00:08:27,493 --> 00:08:30,213 Speaker 3: is the Naked Gun. All of the details for those 167 00:08:30,213 --> 00:08:32,213 Speaker 3: films is up on the news talks.
