00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,973

4
00:00:15,573 --> 00:00:19,293

Speaker 2: us at this time every Saturday morning with her three

6
00:00:22,373 --> 00:00:25,413
Speaker 2: picks for shows to watch your stream at Homemade. Tara,

7
00:00:25,773 --> 00:00:28,253
Speaker 2: Good morning. Okay, let's begin this morning with a show

8
00:00:28,373 --> 00:00:31,173
Speaker 2: streaming on Netflix starring Eric Banner and our very own

9
00:00:31,213 --> 00:00:33,493
Speaker 2: Sam Neil. Tell us about Untamed.

10
00:00:34,573 --> 00:00:36,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new murder mystery series with a

11
00:00:36,973 --> 00:00:41,253
Speaker 3: great cast and quite an unusual and quite beautiful location.

12
00:00:41,653 --> 00:00:43,613
Speaker 3: As you say. It stars Eric Banner and Sam Neil,

13
00:00:43,613 --> 00:00:45,493
Speaker 3: and it's about a murder that takes place in the

14
00:00:45,573 --> 00:00:49,373
Speaker 3: Yosemite National Park in California. And Eric Banner plays a

15
00:00:49,413 --> 00:00:52,333
Speaker 3: special agent, Kyle Turner. He's basically a park ranger but

16
00:00:52,453 --> 00:00:56,693
Speaker 3: with police powers, and he's responsible for solving the mystery

17
00:00:56,693 --> 00:00:59,413
Speaker 3: of a body that falls from our Capitan Mountain in

18
00:00:59,453 --> 00:01:02,973
Speaker 3: the park. Samuel plays his boss. They are longtime friends,

19
00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:07,973
Speaker 3: but Kyle is your typical grumpy but brilliant detective with

20
00:01:08,093 --> 00:01:11,133
Speaker 3: an ex wife and a drinking problem. And so the

21
00:01:11,173 --> 00:01:14,213
Speaker 3: setup of the show is quite familiar and similar to

22
00:01:14,253 --> 00:01:16,933
Speaker 3: a lot of other TV murder mysteries. But Eric Bannett

23
00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:19,973
Speaker 3: is so good in this I'll watch anything that Sam

24
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:22,653
Speaker 3: nil is in. And the setting of the National Park

25
00:01:22,853 --> 00:01:25,053
Speaker 3: is so beautiful and remote, and the scale of the

26
00:01:25,133 --> 00:01:28,253
Speaker 3: landscape and the photography and this is really impressive. So

27
00:01:28,293 --> 00:01:30,453
Speaker 3: it's those things that make this show stand out and

28
00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:33,253
Speaker 3: makes it worth watching. And it's all about that idea

29
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:36,453
Speaker 3: that the rangers can only really know a small piece

30
00:01:36,493 --> 00:01:39,333
Speaker 3: of this huge national park and there's so much wilderness

31
00:01:39,453 --> 00:01:42,293
Speaker 3: and potential for danger out there that they can't control.

32
00:01:42,693 --> 00:01:44,933
Speaker 3: So you know, it is a little bit formulaic at times,

33
00:01:44,973 --> 00:01:47,733
Speaker 3: but still a very watchable, really enjoyable series.

34
00:01:47,813 --> 00:01:50,733
Speaker 2: Cool Okay, that's Untamed. It's on Netflix. Also on Netflix,

35
00:01:50,893 --> 00:01:53,213
Speaker 2: Sneaky Pete, Yes.

36
00:01:53,093 --> 00:01:55,653
Speaker 3: Sneaky Pete. This isn't a new show. It came out

37
00:01:55,693 --> 00:01:58,013
Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen, but it's just come on to Netflix

38
00:01:58,013 --> 00:02:00,213
Speaker 3: for the first time in the last week and all

39
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:03,613
Speaker 3: three seasons are there now. This is a great drama

40
00:02:03,653 --> 00:02:07,413
Speaker 3: that stars Giovanni Rabisi and he plays Marius. Marius is

41
00:02:07,453 --> 00:02:09,973
Speaker 3: a con man who gets out of prison but can't

42
00:02:10,013 --> 00:02:12,533
Speaker 3: return to his old life because his enemies are still

43
00:02:12,573 --> 00:02:16,333
Speaker 3: after him, so he assumes the identity of his prison

44
00:02:16,413 --> 00:02:19,573
Speaker 3: cellmate Pete, and he goes to stay with Pete's long

45
00:02:19,613 --> 00:02:23,173
Speaker 3: lost family, who haven't seen Pete for decades. They happily

46
00:02:24,573 --> 00:02:27,093
Speaker 3: welcome Pete back into the fold and welcome him back

47
00:02:27,093 --> 00:02:30,173
Speaker 3: into the family. But Pete's family has their own secrets

48
00:02:30,213 --> 00:02:33,853
Speaker 3: and their own issues. That means Marius could be in

49
00:02:33,893 --> 00:02:37,093
Speaker 3: as much danger with Pete's family as in his old life,

50
00:02:37,133 --> 00:02:40,053
Speaker 3: and the show is about Marius sort of moving between

51
00:02:40,053 --> 00:02:42,653
Speaker 3: those two lives and those two different worlds, trying to

52
00:02:42,693 --> 00:02:45,813
Speaker 3: stay in hiding while also trying not to blow his

53
00:02:45,893 --> 00:02:48,973
Speaker 3: cover with Pete's family. And what I liked about this was,

54
00:02:49,013 --> 00:02:51,693
Speaker 3: even though that plot sounds kind of far fetched, the

55
00:02:51,733 --> 00:02:54,773
Speaker 3: show itself is very straightforward and entertaining. It's not trying

56
00:02:54,773 --> 00:02:58,413
Speaker 3: to do anything too clever. It's about family and relationships

57
00:02:58,493 --> 00:03:01,413
Speaker 3: and the lives that we all tell. Marius is a

58
00:03:01,453 --> 00:03:03,893
Speaker 3: likable rogue. You're always on his side, and it's a

59
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:05,853
Speaker 3: lot of fun. You just have to suspend belief for

60
00:03:05,893 --> 00:03:07,733
Speaker 3: a bit and just kind of go along for the.

61
00:03:07,773 --> 00:03:12,053
Speaker 2: Right nice cool That's Sneaky Pete. That's on Netflix as well,

62
00:03:12,053 --> 00:03:13,733
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to this one on three. Now

63
00:03:13,813 --> 00:03:16,213
Speaker 2: tell us about Game On, Yeah.

64
00:03:16,213 --> 00:03:18,293
Speaker 3: I love this one. You might remember a TV series

65
00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:20,213
Speaker 3: from a couple of years ago called Match Fit, Yeah,

66
00:03:20,773 --> 00:03:23,733
Speaker 3: a New Zealand sports docu series that had a former

67
00:03:23,853 --> 00:03:26,733
Speaker 3: rugby and league players come back and get fit and

68
00:03:26,813 --> 00:03:29,893
Speaker 3: play in a tournament. Well, Game On is the netball

69
00:03:29,973 --> 00:03:33,373
Speaker 3: version of that. Basically, it takes several former Silver Ferns

70
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:37,093
Speaker 3: like Irene Van Dyke, Aidan Wilson, Casey krpor Tima Patter

71
00:03:37,173 --> 00:03:39,893
Speaker 3: Bailey and puts them back on the court to train

72
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:43,213
Speaker 3: and play in a netball tournament against other former internationals.

73
00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:46,293
Speaker 3: And some of these women haven't played netball for years

74
00:03:47,053 --> 00:03:49,693
Speaker 3: and so they are as competitive as ever and as

75
00:03:49,773 --> 00:03:52,653
Speaker 3: passionate for the sport as ever, but they're on their

76
00:03:52,653 --> 00:03:54,373
Speaker 3: forties and fifties now and they've got a bit of

77
00:03:54,413 --> 00:03:58,253
Speaker 3: work to do. They're also teaming up with some a

78
00:03:58,293 --> 00:04:01,973
Speaker 3: group of promising young teenage netballers and mentoring them through

79
00:04:02,013 --> 00:04:04,773
Speaker 3: the show. So there's a really lovely connection there to

80
00:04:04,813 --> 00:04:08,053
Speaker 3: the next generation of players coming through. And I just

81
00:04:08,093 --> 00:04:10,573
Speaker 3: watched this with a big smile on my face. They

82
00:04:10,693 --> 00:04:12,693
Speaker 3: look back at what it took for them to play

83
00:04:12,693 --> 00:04:17,253
Speaker 3: top level sport while also having babies and jobs and families.

84
00:04:18,013 --> 00:04:20,493
Speaker 3: It's a sort of a celebration of the friendships that

85
00:04:20,533 --> 00:04:22,693
Speaker 3: they've made along the way, and now they're all back

86
00:04:22,733 --> 00:04:26,573
Speaker 3: together again facing this new challenge. It's really inspiring and

87
00:04:27,053 --> 00:04:28,853
Speaker 3: a very heart woman watching this sounds great.

88
00:04:28,893 --> 00:04:31,693
Speaker 2: So I love match Fit. I just thought, mat sure,

89
00:04:31,693 --> 00:04:33,573
Speaker 2: it was such a good show, And do you reckon

90
00:04:33,653 --> 00:04:36,133
Speaker 2: this compares quite favorably.

91
00:04:36,573 --> 00:04:37,293
Speaker 3: Yes, definitely.

92
00:04:37,493 --> 00:04:41,053
Speaker 4: And I think it's that vulnerability that they're putting themselves

93
00:04:41,053 --> 00:04:43,533
Speaker 4: back out there, you know, and they talk about how

94
00:04:43,573 --> 00:04:45,453
Speaker 4: their mind wants them to get up in the air

95
00:04:45,493 --> 00:04:47,053
Speaker 4: and just sit that ball, but their body is not

96
00:04:47,093 --> 00:04:49,933
Speaker 4: quite as willing anymore. And you know, there's a sort

97
00:04:49,973 --> 00:04:51,893
Speaker 4: of a braveness to that about putting them back out

98
00:04:52,213 --> 00:04:54,693
Speaker 4: into the public eye and putting their bodies on the

99
00:04:54,693 --> 00:04:55,133
Speaker 4: line again.

100
00:04:55,413 --> 00:04:57,053
Speaker 2: I love it. Okay, cool, that sounds like a bit

101
00:04:57,093 --> 00:04:59,893
Speaker 2: of me. Game On is on three now, Sneaky Pete

102
00:04:59,933 --> 00:05:02,773
