18
00:00:56,853 --> 00:01:00,533
Speaker 4: I'm late late thirties, but like deep down and actually

19
00:01:00,653 --> 00:01:02,853
Speaker 4: just like a seventy five year old man.

20
00:01:04,013 --> 00:01:07,173
Speaker 5: I'm very excited to have new music yeah over the winter.

21
00:01:07,453 --> 00:01:09,293
Speaker 4: Yeah, so am I I'm really looking forward to it. It

22
00:01:09,413 --> 00:01:11,333
Speaker 4: was interesting she you know, for anyone who missed it.

23
00:01:11,333 --> 00:01:12,493
Speaker 4: The other day, she tried to do a bit of

24
00:01:12,533 --> 00:01:16,213
Speaker 4: a pop up concert in Washington Square Park in this

25
00:01:16,293 --> 00:01:16,973
Speaker 4: cool part.

26
00:01:16,813 --> 00:01:19,333
Speaker 2: Of New York, but it didn't go very well.

27
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:21,453
Speaker 4: The authorities basically shadowed down, so you just had like

28
00:01:21,533 --> 00:01:24,173
Speaker 4: thousands and you know, thousands of people turned up expecting

29
00:01:24,213 --> 00:01:26,373
Speaker 4: to see Lord, and then she wasn't glad to perform,

30
00:01:26,413 --> 00:01:28,853
Speaker 4: which is funny because Washington Square Park always has lots

31
00:01:28,853 --> 00:01:32,733
Speaker 4: of randos performing. I guess, yeah, yeah, I know. She

32
00:01:32,733 --> 00:01:34,373
Speaker 4: went back and dance, but she was quite fun.

33
00:01:34,613 --> 00:01:37,213
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, to get up and just dance on a

34
00:01:37,813 --> 00:01:38,813
Speaker 2: you know, I feel.

35
00:01:38,573 --> 00:01:41,533
Speaker 4: Like she kind of embraces her dancing as well. You know,

36
00:01:41,653 --> 00:01:44,653
Speaker 4: she brings the kind of different style which I love. Anyway,

37
00:01:44,653 --> 00:01:46,933
Speaker 4: I'm glad that you're excited because I'm really looking forward

38
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:49,653
Speaker 4: to new music from Lords. So yeah, it's great to

39
00:01:49,693 --> 00:01:52,173
Speaker 4: see them. Anyway, our two picks for us this weekend.

40
00:01:52,293 --> 00:01:54,413
Speaker 4: Really looking forward to your take on both of these films.

41
00:01:54,653 --> 00:01:56,893
Speaker 4: So both of these are showing in cinemas at the moment.

42
00:01:56,933 --> 00:01:58,413
Speaker 4: Let's start off with a little bit of Listen to

43
00:01:58,453 --> 00:02:01,173
Speaker 4: the trailer for The Correspondent.

44
00:02:03,053 --> 00:02:06,293
Speaker 5: The rochesters are making it very clear how willing they are.

45
00:02:06,213 --> 00:02:10,733
Speaker 2: To by the government Al Jazeera. Who is it?

46
00:02:12,853 --> 00:02:13,093
Speaker 1: Yes?

47
00:02:13,213 --> 00:02:13,613
Speaker 5: Who are you?

48
00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:14,333
Speaker 3: Are you?

49
00:02:14,533 --> 00:02:15,253
Speaker 2: Are you police?

50
00:02:15,613 --> 00:02:16,173
Speaker 1: Starting to go?

51
00:02:19,853 --> 00:02:22,413
Speaker 4: Okay, this is the story of the arrest, the trial,

52
00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:25,413
Speaker 4: and imprisonment of an Australian journalist.

53
00:02:26,173 --> 00:02:28,853
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a really fascinating story and it probably people

54
00:02:28,893 --> 00:02:32,093
Speaker 5: will remember this. So it's twenty and thirteen and Peter Grest,

55
00:02:32,253 --> 00:02:36,533
Speaker 5: he's the Nairobi foreign correspondent for Al Jazeera. He's asked, Hey,

56
00:02:36,533 --> 00:02:39,293
Speaker 5: could you just go to Cairo and we've got someone

57
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:42,133
Speaker 5: going away for a couple of weeks over Christmas on holiday?

58
00:02:42,133 --> 00:02:43,813
Speaker 5: Would you mind covering? And he's like, you no, that's

59
00:02:43,853 --> 00:02:45,653
Speaker 5: no worries. So he heads there and of course there's

60
00:02:45,653 --> 00:02:48,413
Speaker 5: a lot of unrest at that particular time. And after

61
00:02:48,493 --> 00:02:51,453
Speaker 5: reporting for about two days, just going about doing his job,

62
00:02:51,573 --> 00:02:53,013
Speaker 5: as you heard in the trailer, there's a knock on

63
00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:55,133
Speaker 5: the door and some people come in and then they

64
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:57,173
Speaker 5: want to take him down to sort of a police

65
00:02:57,173 --> 00:02:59,733
Speaker 5: station or something, and he's like, that's fine, that's okay.

66
00:03:00,133 --> 00:03:01,733
Speaker 5: I can get this all cleared up. And I quite

67
00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:03,653
Speaker 5: know what's going on here, but I know how these

68
00:03:03,653 --> 00:03:07,493
Speaker 5: things kind of work. And he ends uping arrested with

69
00:03:07,573 --> 00:03:12,333
Speaker 5: two other journalists and it becomes apparent quite quickly that

70
00:03:12,373 --> 00:03:14,053
Speaker 5: this isn't something that he's going to be able to

71
00:03:14,053 --> 00:03:16,053
Speaker 5: clear up. He had a bit of cash in his

72
00:03:16,173 --> 00:03:19,573
Speaker 5: hotel suite, which was for his expenses and who perdems

73
00:03:19,573 --> 00:03:22,853
Speaker 5: while he was there, and they accuse him of financially

74
00:03:22,933 --> 00:03:27,733
Speaker 5: aiding and being part of a terrorist organization. And it

75
00:03:27,773 --> 00:03:30,973
Speaker 5: becomes pretty clear, as I said, becomes clear quite quickly

76
00:03:31,253 --> 00:03:34,053
Speaker 5: when the Australian sort of embassy visit him and go

77
00:03:34,453 --> 00:03:35,653
Speaker 5: there's a process we have.

78
00:03:35,693 --> 00:03:36,253
Speaker 4: To go through.

79
00:03:36,333 --> 00:03:38,813
Speaker 5: He's given a lawyer who is to represent him, who

80
00:03:38,853 --> 00:03:42,453
Speaker 5: was then arrested and charged with treason. It becomes clear

81
00:03:42,453 --> 00:03:44,773
Speaker 5: to him that this is not going to be straightforward.

82
00:03:45,013 --> 00:03:49,213
Speaker 5: That you know what is seemingly straightforward. Hello, I'm a journalist.

83
00:03:49,213 --> 00:03:52,373
Speaker 5: I work with this organization. He just reporting is not

84
00:03:52,413 --> 00:03:54,293
Speaker 5: going to be a straightforward process. So we follow him

85
00:03:54,293 --> 00:03:56,413
Speaker 5: as he realizes that he is going to ends up

86
00:03:56,413 --> 00:03:59,653
Speaker 5: in solitary confinement. He meets some other pretty interesting people,

87
00:03:59,933 --> 00:04:03,173
Speaker 5: political prisoners who sort of help him adjust to his

88
00:04:03,293 --> 00:04:06,653
Speaker 5: new situation, and along with these two other prisoners, goes

89
00:04:06,693 --> 00:04:09,053
Speaker 5: through the courts and spends a lot of time in

90
00:04:09,093 --> 00:04:11,373
Speaker 5: prison and things. Look, if you're not familiar with the story,

91
00:04:11,373 --> 00:04:14,453
Speaker 5: I'm not going to give away the result sort of

92
00:04:14,493 --> 00:04:16,693
Speaker 5: how it all unfolds, you can enjoy watching that. In

93
00:04:16,733 --> 00:04:19,573
Speaker 5: the film, Richard Roxburgh plays Peter Grestor. He does an

94
00:04:19,573 --> 00:04:22,773
Speaker 5: absolutely fantastic job. He's in every scene in this film,

95
00:04:23,533 --> 00:04:26,893
Speaker 5: and you really do get a sense of the journey

96
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:31,413
Speaker 5: that he went through and just that whole trying to

97
00:04:31,453 --> 00:04:36,093
Speaker 5: adapt to finding yourself and such an extreme situation with

98
00:04:36,333 --> 00:04:39,413
Speaker 5: no hope. So it's really great. I actually spoke to

99
00:04:39,453 --> 00:04:41,853
Speaker 5: Peter Grestor and Richard Rocksborogh on the Sunway Session a

100
00:04:41,893 --> 00:04:43,893
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago. It's worth having a listen to

101
00:04:43,933 --> 00:04:46,453
Speaker 5: the interview, especially actually if you've been and seeing the film,

102
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:48,293
Speaker 5: because they talk about the making of it and behind

103
00:04:48,293 --> 00:04:50,613
Speaker 5: the scenes, and Peter Grestor sort of talks a little

104
00:04:50,653 --> 00:04:54,933
Speaker 5: bit about his career since and he is still a

105
00:04:54,933 --> 00:04:58,693
Speaker 5: convicted terrorist and or regarded as a terrorist and is

106
00:04:58,733 --> 00:05:02,693
Speaker 5: doing a lot of work to bring attention to the

107
00:05:02,693 --> 00:05:04,773
Speaker 5: fact that, you know, journalists just going about their daily

108
00:05:04,853 --> 00:05:09,333
Speaker 5: jobs can find themselves in some pretty difficult positions. Yeah.

109
00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:10,333
Speaker 5: Really fascinating story.

110
00:05:10,413 --> 00:05:11,853
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds really good.

111
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:14,493
Speaker 4: Okay, So that's the correspondent that's showing in cinemas at

112
00:05:14,533 --> 00:05:18,053
Speaker 4: the moment. Next up, another movie at the movies, This

113
00:05:18,213 --> 00:05:19,213
Speaker 4: is Sinners.

114
00:05:21,373 --> 00:05:24,773
Speaker 3: There are legends of people with the gift of making music,

115
00:05:24,973 --> 00:05:30,653
Speaker 3: so true sicking conscious spirits from the path and the future.

116
00:05:32,053 --> 00:05:36,933
Speaker 3: This gift can bring fame and fortune, but it also

117
00:05:37,533 --> 00:05:41,293
Speaker 3: compiers the veil between life and there.

118
00:05:44,093 --> 00:05:45,893
Speaker 2: There's a lot of heart about this film.

119
00:05:46,693 --> 00:05:48,733
Speaker 5: Yeah, and not to be honest with you, I sort

120
00:05:48,733 --> 00:05:50,653
Speaker 5: of saw the trial. I went, oh, it's another set

121
00:05:50,653 --> 00:05:54,093
Speaker 5: of vampire horror film. Oh yeah, okay, and headed along.

122
00:05:54,173 --> 00:05:57,773
Speaker 5: Ryan Coogler has directed this. He did Black Panther and Creed,

123
00:05:58,013 --> 00:06:00,133
Speaker 5: and he's teamed up here with Michael B. Jordan, who

124
00:06:00,173 --> 00:06:03,093
Speaker 5: he has worked with a lot since they're since his

125
00:06:03,173 --> 00:06:06,093
Speaker 5: debut film, fruit Vale Station. They work together on that

126
00:06:06,413 --> 00:06:09,933
Speaker 5: and in this film, Jordan plays these twins, Smoke and Stack,

127
00:06:10,013 --> 00:06:13,493
Speaker 5: and we're in the nineteen early nineteen thirties in Mississippi.

128
00:06:14,013 --> 00:06:17,173
Speaker 5: It's a really bold, ambitious mix this film. It's a

129
00:06:17,253 --> 00:06:20,773
Speaker 5: period piece. It's part gangster flick. Smoke and Stack of

130
00:06:20,853 --> 00:06:23,613
Speaker 5: just returned from Chicago where they were sort of moving

131
00:06:23,653 --> 00:06:26,973
Speaker 5: in the mobster world, and it's also a vampire horror

132
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:30,013
Speaker 5: and it really kind of shouldn't work Jack, but it

133
00:06:30,213 --> 00:06:33,613
Speaker 5: all comes together and it does. And so what they've

134
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:36,093
Speaker 5: done here is is sort of taken a popcorn film,

135
00:06:36,093 --> 00:06:40,013
Speaker 5: a mainstream sort of vampire film, and it's wonderfully over

136
00:06:40,053 --> 00:06:42,533
Speaker 5: the top, but it's got kind of some heart and

137
00:06:42,693 --> 00:06:46,933
Speaker 5: soul and all these messages and while messages goalore because

138
00:06:46,933 --> 00:06:49,773
Speaker 5: it sort of focuses on race and history and religion

139
00:06:49,853 --> 00:06:53,613
Speaker 5: and repression and sin and redemption and freedom and what

140
00:06:53,813 --> 00:06:56,173
Speaker 5: is freedom and all these things. It's a film really

141
00:06:56,173 --> 00:07:01,933
Speaker 5: about the Black American experience. Look, it's long, it's two

142
00:07:02,013 --> 00:07:04,533
Speaker 5: hours and seventeen and actually, to be honest with you,

143
00:07:04,613 --> 00:07:06,613
Speaker 5: it might have all been a bit much to throw

144
00:07:06,653 --> 00:07:08,653
Speaker 5: all that in there, but I didn't mind. I love

145
00:07:08,693 --> 00:07:12,053
Speaker 5: being part of this world because the cinematography is fantastic.

146
00:07:12,093 --> 00:07:16,533
Speaker 5: There's some wonderful one shot scenes. The music is wonderful.

147
00:07:16,573 --> 00:07:19,293
Speaker 5: The blues it's so soulful, and there's this great scenehe

148
00:07:19,373 --> 00:07:21,733
Speaker 5: Kogler reminds us how timeless music is, and he shows

149
00:07:21,733 --> 00:07:23,853
Speaker 5: how the blues is have had of so much more

150
00:07:23,893 --> 00:07:27,213
Speaker 5: even music today, and the tone. It isn't afraid to

151
00:07:27,253 --> 00:07:29,613
Speaker 5: be gory and be great and have lots of fun

152
00:07:29,653 --> 00:07:33,453
Speaker 5: with these vampires and things so very central as well, steamy.

153
00:07:33,613 --> 00:07:36,253
Speaker 5: It's full of life. It's not perfect, but there's lots

154
00:07:36,333 --> 00:07:36,693
Speaker 5: to like.

155
00:07:37,213 --> 00:07:39,133
Speaker 2: That sounds great. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing this

156
00:07:39,173 --> 00:07:40,653
Speaker 2: one I reckon. This is one I'm.

157
00:07:40,453 --> 00:07:42,613
Speaker 4: Deliberately going to carve out a bit of space to

158
00:07:42,653 --> 00:07:44,493
