7
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:29,693
Speaker 2: the show streaming on Netflix. Tell us about Secrets We Keep.

8
00:00:30,893 --> 00:00:33,813
Speaker 3: This is a new Danish thriller that's just landed on Netflix.

9
00:00:33,853 --> 00:00:36,933
Speaker 3: And if you're a fan of the Harlem Coben thrillers

10
00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:39,653
Speaker 3: that they have on Netflix, if you like a really stylish,

11
00:00:40,173 --> 00:00:42,293
Speaker 3: sleek mystery, then this is one for you. This is

12
00:00:42,373 --> 00:00:45,413
Speaker 3: Secrets We Keep. It's set in Copenhagen, in one of

13
00:00:45,453 --> 00:00:48,973
Speaker 3: the city's wealthiest neighborhoods called North Zealand, and it's about

14
00:00:48,973 --> 00:00:51,573
Speaker 3: what happens when an Opia goes missing, and the main

15
00:00:51,653 --> 00:00:55,373
Speaker 3: character is Cecil. She starts to worry when her neighbors

16
00:00:55,373 --> 00:00:59,373
Speaker 3: Filipino na nanny Ruby disappears one day, completely out of

17
00:00:59,413 --> 00:01:02,653
Speaker 3: the blue. She becomes more worried when her neighbors, who

18
00:01:02,693 --> 00:01:05,053
Speaker 3: she is close friends with, don't seem to be concerned

19
00:01:05,093 --> 00:01:08,293
Speaker 3: at all. Ruby has left her passport behind. She's not

20
00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:11,053
Speaker 3: taken any clothes, so there's definitely something wrong, and so

21
00:01:11,173 --> 00:01:14,973
Speaker 3: Cecil starts to dig into what has happened and starts

22
00:01:14,973 --> 00:01:17,773
Speaker 3: to uncover a lot of secrets about her friends and

23
00:01:17,813 --> 00:01:21,213
Speaker 3: her family, and everyone becomes a suspect. And this is

24
00:01:21,253 --> 00:01:24,453
Speaker 3: about power and class and what having money does to people.

25
00:01:24,613 --> 00:01:26,773
Speaker 3: And like a lot of thrillers at the moment, it's

26
00:01:26,773 --> 00:01:30,013
Speaker 3: about those lies and secrets that are just hiding underneath

27
00:01:30,013 --> 00:01:33,773
Speaker 3: that beautiful, perfect surface. And it works really well. This

28
00:01:33,813 --> 00:01:37,293
Speaker 3: is uneasy and tense, but very bingeable. The episodes are

29
00:01:37,933 --> 00:01:40,733
Speaker 3: just over thirty minutes long, so it doesn't waste any time.

30
00:01:40,853 --> 00:01:43,093
Speaker 3: It moves along at a cracking pace. And this would

31
00:01:43,133 --> 00:01:44,813
Speaker 3: be my weekend watch. It's a great little thriller.

32
00:01:44,973 --> 00:01:47,933
Speaker 2: Nice cool that secrets we keep. It's on Netflix on

33
00:01:48,013 --> 00:01:49,173
Speaker 2: Neon tell Us about.

34
00:01:49,013 --> 00:01:52,733
Speaker 3: Duster, Yes, something completely different. This is Dust. This is

35
00:01:52,813 --> 00:01:56,693
Speaker 3: jj abrams new show. And this is just purely fun,

36
00:01:56,893 --> 00:02:00,853
Speaker 3: entertaining television. It's set in the nineteen seventies in Arizona.

37
00:02:01,453 --> 00:02:03,613
Speaker 3: It's about a guy called Jim who is a getaway

38
00:02:03,693 --> 00:02:06,013
Speaker 3: driver for a crime boss, so he has to do

39
00:02:06,053 --> 00:02:08,573
Speaker 3: a lot of boss's dirty work and he's a bit

40
00:02:08,573 --> 00:02:10,813
Speaker 3: annoyed that he can't move up and get a better job.

41
00:02:10,933 --> 00:02:13,973
Speaker 3: And he meets an FBI agent who has just graduated.

42
00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:17,373
Speaker 3: She's the first black female FBI agent and she really

43
00:02:17,413 --> 00:02:21,253
Speaker 3: needs to prove herself, and she persuades Jim to act

44
00:02:21,333 --> 00:02:24,133
Speaker 3: as an informant against his boss, and so they become

45
00:02:24,173 --> 00:02:27,253
Speaker 3: this unlikely double act. They've both got their own access

46
00:02:27,253 --> 00:02:29,493
Speaker 3: to grind and they are going to team up and

47
00:02:29,533 --> 00:02:32,013
Speaker 3: take down the crime boss. And it's just a lot

48
00:02:32,013 --> 00:02:36,173
Speaker 3: of fun. It's very nostalgic for nineteen seventies America, so

49
00:02:36,213 --> 00:02:39,133
Speaker 3: there's some great cars and car chases in this. The

50
00:02:39,173 --> 00:02:42,453
Speaker 3: costumes are fantastic, the soundtrack is great. It's a bit

51
00:02:42,493 --> 00:02:45,653
Speaker 3: of an action comedy as well. This is the kind

52
00:02:45,653 --> 00:02:47,613
Speaker 3: of show you don't need to think too hard about.

53
00:02:47,733 --> 00:02:50,733
Speaker 3: It's not trying to do anything clever or tricky. It's

54
00:02:50,813 --> 00:02:52,613
Speaker 3: just having a good time and you can just sit

55
00:02:52,693 --> 00:02:53,533
Speaker 3: back and enjoy it.

56
00:02:53,733 --> 00:02:56,733
Speaker 2: Nice call, that's Duster. It's on neon and on three

57
00:02:56,773 --> 00:02:59,253
Speaker 2: Now tell us about Homeward Bound three point zero.

58
00:03:00,413 --> 00:03:03,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new season of a really delightful

59
00:03:03,653 --> 00:03:06,573
Speaker 3: and funny New Zealand romantic comedy Homebound three pounds Point

60
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:10,613
Speaker 3: is created and written by Sam Wang, who also stars

61
00:03:10,613 --> 00:03:14,013
Speaker 3: in this alongside Michelle Aang. They play two thirty year

62
00:03:14,053 --> 00:03:16,493
Speaker 3: old strangers who are both living at home with their parents.

63
00:03:16,893 --> 00:03:19,453
Speaker 3: They're sick of their parents interfering in their lives, so

64
00:03:19,573 --> 00:03:23,013
Speaker 3: they decide to fake a romantic relationship with each other

65
00:03:23,093 --> 00:03:25,573
Speaker 3: in the hope that pretending to be in love will

66
00:03:25,613 --> 00:03:28,373
Speaker 3: stop their families from matchmaking and trying to set them

67
00:03:28,453 --> 00:03:30,893
Speaker 3: up with people. The catch comes, of course, like any

68
00:03:30,893 --> 00:03:33,093
Speaker 3: good rom com, when they actually start to fall for

69
00:03:33,133 --> 00:03:35,733
Speaker 3: each other and their relationship becomes real, and that's when

70
00:03:36,013 --> 00:03:38,893
Speaker 3: all the troubles begin. It's a really charming series. Like

71
00:03:38,933 --> 00:03:42,893
Speaker 3: any good romcom, there are lots of misunderstandings and lots

72
00:03:42,893 --> 00:03:46,013
Speaker 3: of wacky characters and friends. I love the dynamics between

73
00:03:46,053 --> 00:03:48,213
Speaker 3: the two families in this. It's about two Chinese New

74
00:03:48,293 --> 00:03:52,333
Speaker 3: Zealand families, and the script moves between English, Cantonese, and Mandarin,

75
00:03:52,373 --> 00:03:54,413
Speaker 3: which is wonderful to see on screen. But the writing

76
00:03:54,493 --> 00:03:58,053
Speaker 3: is so sharp and funny and relatable. Anyone with a

77
00:03:58,093 --> 00:04:00,253
Speaker 3: family will relate to the humor in this. I just

78
00:04:00,293 --> 00:04:04,173
Speaker 3: love the show. It's a real charming, funny series and

79
00:04:04,213 --> 00:04:04,573
Speaker 3: I'm so.

80
00:04:04,573 --> 00:04:08,893
Speaker 2: Glad that they got a sub nice. Okay, that's Homeward Sorry,

81
00:04:08,893 --> 00:04:11,213
Speaker 2: home Bound three point zero. So that's on three now,

82
00:04:11,373 --> 00:04:14,413
Speaker 2: Dust is on me on Secrets We keep as on Netflix. Hey, Tara,

83
00:04:15,253 --> 00:04:17,253
Speaker 2: I've just been catching up on the later series of

84
00:04:17,253 --> 00:04:19,133
Speaker 2: Black Mirror. Have you seen that yet? Oh?

85
00:04:19,213 --> 00:04:21,773
Speaker 3: I have. I'm a little bit scared of Black Mirror. Oh,

86
00:04:21,813 --> 00:04:23,133
Speaker 3: because it's so realistic.

87
00:04:23,413 --> 00:04:27,053
Speaker 2: It's such an amazing show. It is just like I know,

88
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:28,933
Speaker 2: I kind of go on about these shows. Oh, I

89
00:04:28,973 --> 00:04:30,973
Speaker 2: get incredible at the moment, but it's it is such

90
00:04:30,973 --> 00:04:34,893
Speaker 2: an amazing show. But like I have the weirdest dreams afterwards,

91
00:04:34,973 --> 00:04:37,133
Speaker 2: Like it really does keep me up. I am in

92
00:04:37,173 --> 00:04:39,133
Speaker 2: the stage of life with a three month old baby

93
00:04:39,213 --> 00:04:42,053
Speaker 2: that I should be like sleeping in every possible down moment,

94
00:04:42,093 --> 00:04:45,493
Speaker 2: but of course I find myself like lying there being like, oh, yeah,

95
00:04:45,613 --> 00:04:47,733
Speaker 2: are we going to reach a singularity point with AI

96
00:04:47,893 --> 00:04:53,093
Speaker 2: sometime soon? What could that mean? Like it it's so clever, Gosh,

97
00:04:53,133 --> 00:04:53,613
Speaker 2: it's clever.

98
00:04:53,693 --> 00:04:53,853
Speaker 3: Yeah.

99
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:56,373
Speaker 2: Anyway, So if you haven't seen Black Mirror, there are

100
00:04:56,373 --> 00:04:58,293
Speaker 2: now seven seasons of it. It's kind of like the

101
00:04:58,293 --> 00:05:01,813
Speaker 2: Twilight Zone and that each individual kind of stands on

102
00:05:01,853 --> 00:05:03,373
Speaker 2: its own MIRRT, so you don't need to go back

103
00:05:03,413 --> 00:05:06,253
Speaker 2: and watch other seasons. They're not recurring characters or anything

104
00:05:06,253 --> 00:05:08,653
Speaker 2: like that. But I will always recommend Black Mirror to

105
00:05:08,653 --> 00:05:10,933
Speaker 2: anyone who hasn't seen it. We'll put all of Tara's

106
00:05:10,933 --> 00:05:14,253
Speaker 2: recommendations for this week's Secrets We Keep Duster and Homeward
