1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,693
Speaker 1: from News Talks at B.

3
00:00:12,973 --> 00:00:15,853
Speaker 2: It is screen timetime on your Saturday morning and Chris

4
00:00:15,893 --> 00:00:17,773
Speaker 2: Schultz is in with us this week. Get a Chris

5
00:00:18,693 --> 00:00:21,133
Speaker 2: Childer Jack here you going, I'm really well, thank you

6
00:00:21,173 --> 00:00:24,173
Speaker 2: and I'm super excited for the latest series of Slow

7
00:00:24,293 --> 00:00:27,773
Speaker 2: Horses on Apple TV Plus starring Gary Oldman. Tell us

8
00:00:27,773 --> 00:00:29,053
Speaker 2: about Slow Horses.

9
00:00:29,493 --> 00:00:31,933
Speaker 3: Only you'd like this. I just felt like this is

10
00:00:31,973 --> 00:00:35,133
Speaker 3: a show that you would get into. It's about spies

11
00:00:35,253 --> 00:00:39,413
Speaker 3: in the UK, right five, the super secret spy agency

12
00:00:39,533 --> 00:00:42,213
Speaker 3: that none of us really know much about. But it's

13
00:00:42,213 --> 00:00:46,173
Speaker 3: not about the real spies. It's about the outcast, the misfits,

14
00:00:46,253 --> 00:00:49,373
Speaker 3: the rejects, the spies that have done something bad in

15
00:00:49,373 --> 00:00:51,893
Speaker 3: the field and they get sent to do penance in

16
00:00:51,973 --> 00:00:56,213
Speaker 3: this rundown office which he is overseen by Gary Oldman

17
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:59,413
Speaker 3: in his one and only TV role, which he is

18
00:00:59,573 --> 00:01:02,093
Speaker 3: absolutely relishing. You can sort of see him here. He

19
00:01:02,093 --> 00:01:06,093
Speaker 3: plays Jackson Lamb, the boss of these these spies, and

20
00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:10,773
Speaker 3: he's like he's overweight, he drinks, he smokes, he's you know,

21
00:01:10,813 --> 00:01:14,653
Speaker 3: the word slovenly was created to describe him. He can

22
00:01:14,693 --> 00:01:18,613
Speaker 3: almost smell him coming off the screen. But the irony

23
00:01:18,693 --> 00:01:21,093
Speaker 3: is he's really good at his job. He loves these

24
00:01:22,413 --> 00:01:25,093
Speaker 3: these outcast cities in charge of and so every season

25
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:28,773
Speaker 3: they sort of find themselves wrapped up and sort of

26
00:01:28,813 --> 00:01:32,053
Speaker 3: redeeming themselves. It's one of these kind of old school

27
00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:34,933
Speaker 3: TV shows. I feel like it of turns up for

28
00:01:34,973 --> 00:01:37,733
Speaker 3: six episodes every year and it just does the goods.

29
00:01:37,733 --> 00:01:41,093
Speaker 3: It delivers every time. This season is no different. The

30
00:01:41,173 --> 00:01:44,213
Speaker 3: quality is right up there, and they're exploring some really

31
00:01:44,293 --> 00:01:49,533
Speaker 3: interesting themes, including one of the spy's granddads who's suffering dementia,

32
00:01:49,573 --> 00:01:52,453
Speaker 3: and so what do you do with elderly spy who

33
00:01:52,533 --> 00:01:57,213
Speaker 3: is losing his mind and could give away trade secrets?

34
00:01:57,253 --> 00:02:02,133
Speaker 3: That's really ripe territory. So yeah, this would I think

35
00:02:02,213 --> 00:02:03,933
Speaker 3: he's the best show on TV right now if it

36
00:02:04,013 --> 00:02:08,013
Speaker 3: wasn't for industry, I'm not surprised. You love it. I

37
00:02:08,053 --> 00:02:08,853
Speaker 3: love it.

38
00:02:09,013 --> 00:02:11,933
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, And Slow Horses is exceptional. So that's on

39
00:02:11,973 --> 00:02:16,773
Speaker 2: Apple TV. Plus screening on Neon tell Us about Wise Guy,

40
00:02:16,933 --> 00:02:19,733
Speaker 2: David Chase and The Sopranos. Yeah.

41
00:02:19,773 --> 00:02:23,093
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of quality TV, I think we all consider

42
00:02:23,173 --> 00:02:26,773
Speaker 3: The Sopranos to be one of, if not the best

43
00:02:27,053 --> 00:02:29,693
Speaker 3: show's ever made. This ran from ninety ninety nine to

44
00:02:29,693 --> 00:02:32,773
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven, and it's sort of got a

45
00:02:32,813 --> 00:02:38,893
Speaker 3: bit of another wave of support, if you like. During Lockdown,

46
00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:43,213
Speaker 3: I feel like everyone was watching it again and yeah,

47
00:02:43,493 --> 00:02:46,533
Speaker 3: they've decided it's time for a documentary on it. This

48
00:02:46,573 --> 00:02:49,053
Speaker 3: isn't just like a rah rah, look how great the

49
00:02:49,093 --> 00:02:52,493
Speaker 3: show was documentary. This is diving in deep. It's the

50
00:02:52,573 --> 00:02:56,373
Speaker 3: director Alex give me, one of the greatest documentary makers

51
00:02:56,373 --> 00:02:59,293
Speaker 3: of our time, and he doesn't really clever. Hear. He

52
00:02:59,413 --> 00:03:02,893
Speaker 3: recreates Dodtor Malfie's office, and he sits David Chase, the

53
00:03:02,893 --> 00:03:05,693
Speaker 3: creator of the Sopranos, down in it, and he puts

54
00:03:05,733 --> 00:03:09,773
Speaker 3: them through ext Tony Soprano went through for all those years.

55
00:03:10,773 --> 00:03:13,493
Speaker 3: He makes them dive into the creation of the show,

56
00:03:13,533 --> 00:03:15,493
Speaker 3: like why he made it. It turns out he was

57
00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:17,293
Speaker 3: just trying to make a show about his mum that

58
00:03:17,373 --> 00:03:19,653
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with the Mob, but he thought,

59
00:03:19,693 --> 00:03:21,533
Speaker 3: you know what if I added some bad guys into

60
00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:25,693
Speaker 3: it and it evolved from there. But yeah, there's a

61
00:03:25,693 --> 00:03:30,813
Speaker 3: lot of big reveals in this two part documentary. They

62
00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:34,253
Speaker 3: talk a lot about James Gandalfini, who obviously was in

63
00:03:34,293 --> 00:03:38,693
Speaker 3: almost every sing of the Sopranos. He was the Sopranos,

64
00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:40,733
Speaker 3: and just how much he struggled with it. He wasn't

65
00:03:40,773 --> 00:03:45,013
Speaker 3: built for the fame, he wasn't built to handle it,

66
00:03:45,133 --> 00:03:47,533
Speaker 3: and so he would sort of disappear for days on end.

67
00:03:48,053 --> 00:03:50,733
Speaker 3: They talk about drugs and alcohol abuse. They held an

68
00:03:50,773 --> 00:03:54,053
Speaker 3: intervention for him at one point, and they talk about

69
00:03:54,893 --> 00:03:58,013
Speaker 3: how he prepared for those really violent scenes. So we'd

70
00:03:58,013 --> 00:04:00,493
Speaker 3: put rocks in his shoes, or down six cups of

71
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:03,173
Speaker 3: coffee or even bang his head on a wall. That's

72
00:04:03,173 --> 00:04:06,693
Speaker 3: how That's how far he took it. So, yeah, this

73
00:04:06,853 --> 00:04:09,053
Speaker 3: is I mean, this is great. I reckon, We'll probably

74
00:04:09,053 --> 00:04:11,213
Speaker 3: see more of these. I wouldn't be surprised for them,

75
00:04:11,253 --> 00:04:14,053
Speaker 3: for like six feet under or the wire or the office,

76
00:04:14,213 --> 00:04:16,813
Speaker 3: you know, those big totems kind of inside.

77
00:04:16,933 --> 00:04:20,293
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that's very interesting. So that's wise Guy, David

78
00:04:20,373 --> 00:04:23,253
Speaker 2: Chase and the Sopranos. It's on Neon and on tvn

79
00:04:23,293 --> 00:04:26,693
Speaker 2: Z one and TV and Z plus Location Location location

80
00:04:27,013 --> 00:04:27,253
Speaker 2: m Z.

81
00:04:28,573 --> 00:04:33,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of surprised we're finally rebooting this UK

82
00:04:33,413 --> 00:04:36,693
Speaker 3: hit for New Zealand. We're all obsessed with house prizes,

83
00:04:36,813 --> 00:04:40,733
Speaker 3: especially here in Auckland's. This has been on the air

84
00:04:40,733 --> 00:04:43,053
Speaker 3: in the UK for forty one season since the year

85
00:04:43,173 --> 00:04:46,773
Speaker 3: two thousand, we're finally doing our own version. It's a

86
00:04:46,813 --> 00:04:49,653
Speaker 3: show where it's pretty simple. They find people looking to

87
00:04:49,653 --> 00:04:53,213
Speaker 3: buy houses and they try and find them their dream home.

88
00:04:53,413 --> 00:04:56,373
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of talk call those clichos,

89
00:04:56,453 --> 00:05:02,133
Speaker 3: the forever home, the dream home. The hosts real estate agents,

90
00:05:02,173 --> 00:05:06,293
Speaker 3: but they're also quite familiar TV faces. It's James Keely

91
00:05:06,693 --> 00:05:09,653
Speaker 3: who hosted My Descend dream Home, Paul Glover, who is

92
00:05:09,773 --> 00:05:13,133
Speaker 3: actually a comedy actor from one of my favorite local shows, Educators.

93
00:05:14,373 --> 00:05:17,853
Speaker 3: So they sort of just take a couples or people

94
00:05:17,893 --> 00:05:21,453
Speaker 3: who are looking to buy houses around to see if

95
00:05:21,453 --> 00:05:24,413
Speaker 3: they can find them a home they want. It's based

96
00:05:24,413 --> 00:05:27,373
Speaker 3: in Auckland, and I feel like that's the only point

97
00:05:27,573 --> 00:05:30,853
Speaker 3: here where house prizes are quite far out of reach

98
00:05:30,973 --> 00:05:34,493
Speaker 3: for many people. And one of the couples in this

99
00:05:34,613 --> 00:05:37,093
Speaker 3: first episode is spending over a million dollars on their

100
00:05:37,093 --> 00:05:39,093
Speaker 3: first house, which is a hell of a lot of money,

101
00:05:39,093 --> 00:05:42,653
Speaker 3: and there's no sort of time to dive into why

102
00:05:42,773 --> 00:05:45,013
Speaker 3: that's the case and how we got there. It's yeah,

103
00:05:45,853 --> 00:05:47,533
Speaker 3: it's sort of like, you know, look at the third

104
00:05:47,533 --> 00:05:51,013
Speaker 3: bedroom in the second bathroom and the deck and that

105
00:05:51,093 --> 00:05:53,413
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So if you're into like property porn,

106
00:05:53,453 --> 00:05:55,693
Speaker 3: then you know, grand designs, that kind of thing, you'll

107
00:05:55,693 --> 00:05:58,013
Speaker 3: love it. But I wouldn't be surprised if a few

108
00:05:58,053 --> 00:06:00,173
Speaker 3: people come across this and throw their coffee cups at

109
00:06:00,253 --> 00:06:00,613
Speaker 3: the TV.

110
00:06:01,733 --> 00:06:05,133
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you very much, Chris. That's location, Location, Location
