1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453

Speaker 1: a huge star. She wrote the song for the Barbie movie,

4
00:00:36,173 --> 00:00:40,373
Speaker 1: but since kind of taken on a deeper soiree into

5
00:00:40,413 --> 00:00:42,533
Speaker 1: the world of film. So this week it was announced

6
00:00:42,533 --> 00:00:44,813
Speaker 1: that Charlie x X is doing the soundtrack for the

7
00:00:44,853 --> 00:00:48,893
Speaker 1: new Wuthering Heights adaptation starring Margot Robbie and jacober Lordie.

8
00:00:48,933 --> 00:00:53,933
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I watched the trailer for that. Wowser's

9
00:00:54,133 --> 00:00:57,533
Speaker 1: there's nothing there's nothing kind of super explicit. It's just

10
00:00:57,693 --> 00:01:00,653
Speaker 1: very suggestive, would be my. There's a lot of like

11
00:01:01,413 --> 00:01:03,333
Speaker 1: there's a lot of sound, like a lot of like

12
00:01:04,413 --> 00:01:08,573
Speaker 1: quick breath and like you know that sort of thing. Yeah, anyway,

13
00:01:08,813 --> 00:01:11,653
Speaker 1: I won't go into too much detail anyway. Charlie xx

14
00:01:11,653 --> 00:01:14,453
Speaker 1: has also made her on screen debut at the Toronto

15
00:01:14,493 --> 00:01:17,693
Speaker 1: Film Festival in a film called Eruptsia. I've got a

16
00:01:17,693 --> 00:01:19,733
Speaker 1: pretty good reaction for a pop star turned actress. And

17
00:01:19,813 --> 00:01:22,533
Speaker 1: good thing too, because she has already shot roles in

18
00:01:22,693 --> 00:01:24,853
Speaker 1: six other features. So no doubt we're going to be

19
00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:27,813
Speaker 1: reviewing some Charlie XCX sometime soon. Twenty two to ten

20
00:01:27,933 --> 00:01:29,533
Speaker 1: on news Storks, there'd be time to catch up with

21
00:01:29,573 --> 00:01:34,373
Speaker 1: the film reviewer Francisca rud Can Have you seen that trailer, Francisca, let's.

22
00:01:34,093 --> 00:01:36,413
Speaker 2: Just call it. It's been described as soft porn.

23
00:01:37,893 --> 00:01:39,853
Speaker 1: Do you think I think that's a bit unfair.

24
00:01:40,253 --> 00:01:44,893
Speaker 2: I think okay, it's been described as it's been described

25
00:01:44,893 --> 00:01:46,453
Speaker 2: as kind of fifty shades of gray.

26
00:01:47,693 --> 00:01:50,693
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, there's a lot of sort of vision. Yeah,

27
00:01:51,053 --> 00:01:53,293
Speaker 1: it's very suggestive, would be my all right?

28
00:01:53,413 --> 00:01:57,053
Speaker 2: Look, I love Mago Robbie and I love Jacob Alordi.

29
00:01:57,213 --> 00:02:00,813
Speaker 2: I think they're absolutely fabulous. I understand that people and

30
00:02:00,853 --> 00:02:04,293
Speaker 2: I love Emerald film. I think she does brilliant films.

31
00:02:04,333 --> 00:02:07,933
Speaker 2: There is some issue around the changes that she's made

32
00:02:07,973 --> 00:02:10,573
Speaker 2: to Bronte's novel. I think if you're a huge Bronte fan,

33
00:02:10,613 --> 00:02:13,333
Speaker 2: then you are going to have issue with some of

34
00:02:13,373 --> 00:02:17,973
Speaker 2: the choices of casting. But hey, why not slap the

35
00:02:18,053 --> 00:02:18,613
Speaker 2: hype now?

36
00:02:18,933 --> 00:02:21,453
Speaker 1: Well, you know anyone's talking about maybe and maybe if

37
00:02:21,493 --> 00:02:23,333
Speaker 1: you're not a huge Bronte fan, then this could be

38
00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:24,453
Speaker 1: the film for you, you know.

39
00:02:24,493 --> 00:02:26,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I can't wait.

40
00:02:27,453 --> 00:02:30,093
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, anyway, I did, Yeah, yeah, I may have

41
00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:33,373
Speaker 1: stumbled across that trailer something. Anyway, two different films to

42
00:02:33,413 --> 00:02:35,613
Speaker 1: talk about this morning. These ones are actually out at

43
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:37,453
Speaker 1: the moment. I don't think Wuthering Heights comes out until

44
00:02:37,453 --> 00:02:39,213
Speaker 1: next year. So let's start off with the film showing

45
00:02:39,213 --> 00:02:41,973
Speaker 1: in cinemas at the moment. This is the Roses.

46
00:02:43,213 --> 00:02:46,213
Speaker 2: For you, dear, I do anything. I do.

47
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:47,173
Speaker 1: Believe that's true.

48
00:02:50,973 --> 00:02:54,013
Speaker 2: Everybody seems to see we hate each other. Uppost sometimes

49
00:02:54,053 --> 00:03:00,613
Speaker 2: I do hate you. Yep, we are done. Say well,

50
00:03:00,613 --> 00:03:01,413
Speaker 2: we're done.

51
00:03:01,773 --> 00:03:02,933
Speaker 3: I just want the house.

52
00:03:03,453 --> 00:03:06,173
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the Roses. Couple of big names, Olivia Coleman

53
00:03:06,173 --> 00:03:08,253
Speaker 1: and Benedict Gumbabat starring in.

54
00:03:08,253 --> 00:03:10,453
Speaker 2: This one together, and that is the main reason you

55
00:03:10,493 --> 00:03:12,573
Speaker 2: should go and see this film. But absolutely, I mean

56
00:03:12,613 --> 00:03:14,613
Speaker 2: I just love this too. You know, I watch them,

57
00:03:14,973 --> 00:03:18,213
Speaker 2: you know, read the phone book. This is based on

58
00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:20,813
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty one novel The War of the Roses

59
00:03:20,893 --> 00:03:23,173
Speaker 2: by Warren Adler. If you're a certain age, you will

60
00:03:23,173 --> 00:03:27,533
Speaker 2: remember Danny DeVito directed an adaptation of the starring Kathleen

61
00:03:27,573 --> 00:03:31,053
Speaker 2: Turner and Michael Douglas. At the heart of this film,

62
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:33,173
Speaker 2: there is a story about a couple who are madly

63
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,013
Speaker 2: in love and then life doesn't go so well, and

64
00:03:35,053 --> 00:03:36,973
Speaker 2: they don't cope with it very well as a couple,

65
00:03:37,053 --> 00:03:39,413
Speaker 2: and then they grow to despise each other and they

66
00:03:39,453 --> 00:03:44,013
Speaker 2: had this full on, all out crazy war, and this

67
00:03:44,053 --> 00:03:47,573
Speaker 2: film has been brought into the current day. Benedett Kababatch

68
00:03:47,693 --> 00:03:52,293
Speaker 2: and Olivia Coleman star as THEO and Ivy, and they

69
00:03:52,293 --> 00:03:54,613
Speaker 2: are both very committed to their roles and they're very

70
00:03:54,613 --> 00:03:56,973
Speaker 2: funny and they're very good at it. But there's this

71
00:03:57,013 --> 00:03:59,053
Speaker 2: moment at the beginning where they flash back and they

72
00:03:59,093 --> 00:04:01,653
Speaker 2: show you their meat cute you know, how they met

73
00:04:01,893 --> 00:04:08,213
Speaker 2: and she's a chef in a hotel restaurant and he's

74
00:04:08,253 --> 00:04:11,053
Speaker 2: a guest and he stumbles into the kitchen and literally

75
00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:15,893
Speaker 2: thirty seconds later they're having sex in the in the fridge,

76
00:04:16,453 --> 00:04:19,333
Speaker 2: in the freezer, and I'm like, I'm sorry, but I

77
00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:21,653
Speaker 2: don't think Olivia Coleman and Bennett coming back to act

78
00:04:21,773 --> 00:04:24,013
Speaker 2: like that. And so from the very I've just had

79
00:04:24,013 --> 00:04:26,573
Speaker 2: a little moment of kind of going, oh, it's a

80
00:04:26,573 --> 00:04:28,413
Speaker 2: bit of a stretch guard. I'm not sure I believe that,

81
00:04:28,693 --> 00:04:30,533
Speaker 2: and the problem with that, and I think that that

82
00:04:30,653 --> 00:04:33,053
Speaker 2: is a little bit of a problem with this film. Yes,

83
00:04:33,093 --> 00:04:34,733
Speaker 2: I think that there was a point where they love

84
00:04:34,773 --> 00:04:36,773
Speaker 2: each other. Yes, they go to despise each other, but

85
00:04:36,813 --> 00:04:40,093
Speaker 2: there's too long before we get to the really crazy,

86
00:04:40,173 --> 00:04:43,173
Speaker 2: all out war part of this film, which is which

87
00:04:43,213 --> 00:04:46,333
Speaker 2: is kind of what we know the story for. Really,

88
00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:49,253
Speaker 2: we spend most of the film watching two people whose

89
00:04:49,333 --> 00:04:52,333
Speaker 2: lives do change, and we watch them, we follow them

90
00:04:52,373 --> 00:04:55,013
Speaker 2: through a decade of dysfunction as they allow resentment and

91
00:04:55,053 --> 00:04:57,733
Speaker 2: anger and guilt and success and failure to come between them.

92
00:04:57,893 --> 00:05:00,013
Speaker 2: And it's a very slow and toxic decline. And I

93
00:05:00,493 --> 00:05:02,453
Speaker 2: think they did that because they were a bit worried

94
00:05:02,493 --> 00:05:05,053
Speaker 2: about them going each other too much. And then they

95
00:05:05,093 --> 00:05:06,653
Speaker 2: tried to pull it back and they're sort of saying

96
00:05:06,693 --> 00:05:09,933
Speaker 2: to us, hey, look they hate each other, but their

97
00:05:09,973 --> 00:05:12,373
Speaker 2: love brings them back together. But actually, even their children

98
00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:14,613
Speaker 2: in this film and looking at them going please separate.

99
00:05:14,933 --> 00:05:17,853
Speaker 2: So I'm not so sure. It kind of convinced me

100
00:05:18,893 --> 00:05:20,973
Speaker 2: on the same premise that they loved each other and

101
00:05:20,973 --> 00:05:23,213
Speaker 2: then they despise each other. I just yeah, And look,

102
00:05:23,213 --> 00:05:25,933
Speaker 2: it really depends on whether it's a different kind of

103
00:05:26,013 --> 00:05:27,733
Speaker 2: escape from It really does depend on whether you're in

104
00:05:27,773 --> 00:05:29,933
Speaker 2: the mood to sit and watch a couple destroy each other. Look,

105
00:05:29,973 --> 00:05:32,813
Speaker 2: there are some amazing observations about relationships. They are on

106
00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:36,453
Speaker 2: the money about a lot of that, and there's some

107
00:05:36,533 --> 00:05:43,053
Speaker 2: great other costars. Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Alison Janie is

108
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:45,173
Speaker 2: completely under you. She has this one scene which she

109
00:05:45,293 --> 00:05:47,373
Speaker 2: completely steals. Would have loved to have seen more than her.

110
00:05:47,853 --> 00:05:50,413
Speaker 2: It felt like it was really edgy and it had

111
00:05:50,453 --> 00:05:52,573
Speaker 2: a good edge. But then they kind of presented it

112
00:05:52,613 --> 00:05:55,213
Speaker 2: to us as a glossy rong com and it didn't

113
00:05:55,293 --> 00:05:55,853
Speaker 2: quite work.

114
00:05:56,013 --> 00:05:58,693
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So that is The Roses with Olivia

115
00:05:58,773 --> 00:06:02,853
Speaker 1: Coleman and Bennett Cumberbats. Next up streaming on Prime Video,

116
00:06:03,013 --> 00:06:04,733
Speaker 1: this is Ice Road Vengeance.

117
00:06:05,653 --> 00:06:17,373
Speaker 3: We welcome mable Mount Everest. Here we come, keep driving

118
00:06:18,773 --> 00:06:21,293
Speaker 3: kidnappers in Nepal, don't leave witnesses.

119
00:06:25,133 --> 00:06:28,573
Speaker 1: Okay, that's Ice Road Vengeance, starring Liam Neeson. Something about

120
00:06:28,613 --> 00:06:31,293
Speaker 1: Liam Neeson that I've started to notice, and I'm not

121
00:06:31,333 --> 00:06:33,373
Speaker 1: sure if this has ever come across your mind, Francesca,

122
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:34,853
Speaker 1: is that he needs to start are a lot of

123
00:06:34,893 --> 00:06:37,173
Speaker 1: films in which someone is getting kidnapped or taken and

124
00:06:37,293 --> 00:06:40,053
Speaker 1: he needs to fight and kill people. That's just a

125
00:06:40,093 --> 00:06:41,893
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, you just I don't want to

126
00:06:42,533 --> 00:06:43,493
Speaker 1: call me a centophile.

127
00:06:43,733 --> 00:06:48,293
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has done very well sort of creating this

128
00:06:48,573 --> 00:06:51,013
Speaker 2: new career for him, mate knife and look we talk

129
00:06:51,093 --> 00:06:54,693
Speaker 2: about we talk about women who are you know of

130
00:06:54,773 --> 00:06:56,413
Speaker 2: a certain ager once upon a time she broke a

131
00:06:56,453 --> 00:06:58,013
Speaker 2: forty Hollywood and want to pay attention to you. And

132
00:06:58,093 --> 00:07:00,533
Speaker 2: we see women in Hollywood have managed to create careers

133
00:07:00,573 --> 00:07:02,813
Speaker 2: and interesting characters and have these and so this is

134
00:07:02,893 --> 00:07:06,893
Speaker 2: sort of essentially what Li Liam's done as well. Watunately

135
00:07:07,253 --> 00:07:10,253
Speaker 2: doesn't quite pull it off in this film. And it's

136
00:07:10,453 --> 00:07:14,253
Speaker 2: not his fold. This film just does not have the

137
00:07:14,373 --> 00:07:18,373
Speaker 2: money to make it work. It's you might have seen

138
00:07:18,773 --> 00:07:22,453
Speaker 2: the original Icerod It was released I think twenty one.

139
00:07:22,853 --> 00:07:26,493
Speaker 2: He plays Mike McCann. He is a truck driver. He

140
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:29,493
Speaker 2: goes on this dangerous mission over frozen lakes. So we're

141
00:07:29,493 --> 00:07:32,093
Speaker 2: trying to save some miners trapped in the mine. And look,

142
00:07:32,133 --> 00:07:34,453
Speaker 2: actually it was okay. It was quite good escapeism and

143
00:07:34,493 --> 00:07:36,853
Speaker 2: the idea for this on paper isn't too bad. His

144
00:07:36,973 --> 00:07:39,573
Speaker 2: brother has passed away. He really wants Mike to scatter

145
00:07:39,613 --> 00:07:42,253
Speaker 2: his ashes at Mount Everest, so off he heads to

146
00:07:42,333 --> 00:07:43,973
Speaker 2: do that. He ends up on this bus called the

147
00:07:44,053 --> 00:07:46,493
Speaker 2: Key We Express where the driver goes cured it and

148
00:07:46,573 --> 00:07:49,973
Speaker 2: then spends the rest of the film talking in Australian slang,

149
00:07:50,373 --> 00:07:52,613
Speaker 2: which at that point I went, oh, okay, we've got

150
00:07:52,653 --> 00:07:57,053
Speaker 2: a problem here. And then there's a young man on

151
00:07:57,453 --> 00:08:00,533
Speaker 2: the bus who is kidnapped because there's a corporate that

152
00:08:00,613 --> 00:08:02,373
Speaker 2: wants to build a dam in his village, but his

153
00:08:02,573 --> 00:08:04,893
Speaker 2: hand is holding out, and all of a sudden, it

154
00:08:04,893 --> 00:08:08,053
Speaker 2: always strangers, for some reason to get behind this young

155
00:08:08,133 --> 00:08:09,813
Speaker 2: man and go off on this mission to try and

156
00:08:09,893 --> 00:08:13,613
Speaker 2: save him and his family's land and things. It just

157
00:08:13,853 --> 00:08:16,253
Speaker 2: none of it really made sense. You don't know why

158
00:08:16,253 --> 00:08:18,533
Speaker 2: they were doing. The driving's great, like the driving. I

159
00:08:18,613 --> 00:08:22,933
Speaker 2: don't know whether they use cables in Nepal to allow

160
00:08:23,173 --> 00:08:25,893
Speaker 2: vehicles to travel down icy roads or whether they use

161
00:08:26,013 --> 00:08:28,933
Speaker 2: cranes to get them across gorgeous but look, the driving

162
00:08:29,133 --> 00:08:32,613
Speaker 2: was great, but all the special effects are so bad. Look.

163
00:08:32,613 --> 00:08:34,053
Speaker 2: I was trying to find a really fun film that

164
00:08:34,053 --> 00:08:36,253
Speaker 2: you could sit and watch with dad. You know this,

165
00:08:36,533 --> 00:08:40,533
Speaker 2: You know, maybe tomorrow afternoon or on Fatursday, And unless

166
00:08:40,533 --> 00:08:43,053
Speaker 2: your dad has really bad taste in films, probably isn't

167
00:08:43,053 --> 00:08:46,373
Speaker 2: gonna fly. But but you know, I do love Lambleason,

168
00:08:46,413 --> 00:08:49,133
Speaker 2: and I thought i'd give it a whirl. And it's

169
00:08:49,453 --> 00:08:52,853
Speaker 2: kind of. I actually sort of found it highly entertaining

170
00:08:52,893 --> 00:08:53,613
Speaker 2: for how bad it was.

171
