Speaker 2: a show on Neon tell Us about Joan. Yeah.

7
00:00:25,213 --> 00:00:27,653
Speaker 3: This is a great new British crime thriller and it's

8
00:00:27,693 --> 00:00:30,893
Speaker 3: based on a true story about a woman who became

9
00:00:30,973 --> 00:00:34,773
Speaker 3: the most notorious jewel thief in Britain during the nineteen eighties.

10
00:00:35,133 --> 00:00:37,573
Speaker 3: And her name was Joan Hannington and she's played here

11
00:00:37,613 --> 00:00:40,773
Speaker 3: by Sophie Turner from Game of Thrones, who is fantastic

12
00:00:40,813 --> 00:00:44,053
Speaker 3: in this. Joan is a young mother in her twenties

13
00:00:44,093 --> 00:00:47,133
Speaker 3: when she leaves her violent husband and goes to London

14
00:00:47,493 --> 00:00:49,453
Speaker 3: where she tries to find a job at a home

15
00:00:49,853 --> 00:00:52,573
Speaker 3: for her daughter. It's not easy and she talks her

16
00:00:52,613 --> 00:00:56,093
Speaker 3: way into getting a job in a jewelry shop. Joan

17
00:00:56,173 --> 00:00:58,373
Speaker 3: is someone who knows an opportunity when she sees one.

18
00:00:58,413 --> 00:01:01,613
Speaker 3: She's very clever and smart and she decides to steal

19
00:01:01,773 --> 00:01:05,413
Speaker 3: some some loose diamonds and then has this chance meeting

20
00:01:05,493 --> 00:01:08,893
Speaker 3: with an antiquity and they team up to sell on

21
00:01:08,933 --> 00:01:12,213
Speaker 3: these jewels and become this force to be reckoned with

22
00:01:12,213 --> 00:01:15,333
Speaker 3: within the organized crime world in Britain. And it's a

23
00:01:15,413 --> 00:01:17,773
Speaker 3: real rags to Richard's tail and a lot of fun

24
00:01:17,773 --> 00:01:20,853
Speaker 3: to watch. Joan is this great anti hero. She's a

25
00:01:20,893 --> 00:01:23,973
Speaker 3: good person who makes some bad decisions, but you're always

26
00:01:24,053 --> 00:01:27,653
Speaker 3: on her side. She gets to wear all these different disguises,

27
00:01:27,693 --> 00:01:29,413
Speaker 3: she gets to be a lot of different people. And

28
00:01:30,093 --> 00:01:33,653
Speaker 3: the show has gone really hard on recreating the eighties

29
00:01:33,653 --> 00:01:37,533
Speaker 3: with the costumes and the set music. It's just fabulous

30
00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:40,253
Speaker 3: and it's such an incredible story and they've recreated it

31
00:01:40,293 --> 00:01:43,213
Speaker 3: in a very entertaining, very bingeable way. I really like

32
00:01:43,333 --> 00:01:43,653
Speaker 3: this one.

33
00:01:43,773 --> 00:01:47,453
Speaker 2: Awtum okay. That's Joan. That's on Neon on Disney Plus

34
00:01:47,693 --> 00:01:50,293
Speaker 2: Last Days of the Space Age.

35
00:01:50,413 --> 00:01:53,693
Speaker 3: This is a new Australian drama and a bit like Joan.

36
00:01:53,773 --> 00:01:56,573
Speaker 3: This is a drama set in quite a nostalgic time

37
00:01:56,613 --> 00:01:59,453
Speaker 3: in place. This is set in Western Australia in the

38
00:01:59,533 --> 00:02:02,813
Speaker 3: late nineteen seventies and it's about three families who live

39
00:02:02,813 --> 00:02:06,133
Speaker 3: in the same suburb and it takes place against these

40
00:02:06,133 --> 00:02:08,933
Speaker 3: two big events that actually happened. One was the Miss

41
00:02:09,093 --> 00:02:12,893
Speaker 3: Universe competition, coming to Perth in nineteen seventy nine, and

42
00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:16,053
Speaker 3: the other was the US space station Skylab crashing to

43
00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:18,853
Speaker 3: the ground near town. So the show takes these two

44
00:02:18,893 --> 00:02:22,693
Speaker 3: big world events and places them against these the lives

45
00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:26,373
Speaker 3: of these suburban families, and it's looking back on that

46
00:02:26,493 --> 00:02:30,373
Speaker 3: time with some rose tinted glasses on. This is very nostalgic.

47
00:02:30,773 --> 00:02:33,373
Speaker 3: It's quite a gentle show. It's trying to say a

48
00:02:33,413 --> 00:02:36,053
Speaker 3: lot of different things about Australian society at that time,

49
00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:38,533
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure it completely pulls it off. It's

50
00:02:38,613 --> 00:02:41,413
Speaker 3: almost trying to do too much. But if you like

51
00:02:41,453 --> 00:02:44,893
Speaker 3: a warm, gentle, nostalgic TV series that takes you back

52
00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:46,973
Speaker 3: to a certain time of place, this will do that.

53
00:02:47,973 --> 00:02:49,733
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a Disney show, but I feel like

54
00:02:49,773 --> 00:02:52,653
Speaker 3: this would fit in really well in sort of a

55
00:02:52,653 --> 00:02:55,133
Speaker 3: TV one Sunday night kind of slot. It's that kind

56
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:57,653
Speaker 3: of vibe and it has this great cast as well.

57
00:02:57,693 --> 00:03:01,333
Speaker 3: There's some amazing acting talent in here. Rada, Mitchell, Jesse Spencer,

58
00:03:01,413 --> 00:03:04,613
Speaker 3: Deborah Mailman and Glenn So there's a lot of talent

59
00:03:04,653 --> 00:03:06,613
Speaker 3: here and they really lift the shows.

60
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:09,453
Speaker 2: Okay, cool and on Neon brilliant minds.

61
00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:13,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the latest American medical drama that's just

62
00:03:13,173 --> 00:03:15,493
Speaker 3: come to Neon. And if you love shows like House

63
00:03:15,893 --> 00:03:18,173
Speaker 3: the Good Doctor, I know that's a favorite one of yours, Jack,

64
00:03:18,253 --> 00:03:20,893
Speaker 3: You'll love the brilliant minds. And so often with these

65
00:03:20,973 --> 00:03:24,613
Speaker 3: kinds of medical shows, you have this genius, brilliant doctor

66
00:03:24,653 --> 00:03:26,333
Speaker 3: at the center of it who's a bit of a

67
00:03:26,373 --> 00:03:30,253
Speaker 3: renegade or who uses unorthodox methods, and you know, we'll

68
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:34,093
Speaker 3: do whatever it takes to crack those serious cases exactly

69
00:03:34,373 --> 00:03:37,053
Speaker 3: that keeps turning up at the hospital. And this is

70
00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:40,733
Speaker 3: another one of those shows. It's inspired by a real neurologist,

71
00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:43,893
Speaker 3: and the main character is doctor Oliver Wolfe, who, in

72
00:03:43,933 --> 00:03:46,813
Speaker 3: the first five minutes of the show smuggles and Alzheimer's

73
00:03:46,813 --> 00:03:49,533
Speaker 3: patient out of hospital, takes him on a motorbike to

74
00:03:49,573 --> 00:03:52,933
Speaker 3: his granddaughter's wedding where he doesn't recognize anyone, but he

75
00:03:53,013 --> 00:03:55,453
Speaker 3: still sings at the wedding because he can remember music

76
00:03:55,493 --> 00:03:58,053
Speaker 3: and song. And doctor Oliver is that kind of guy

77
00:03:58,173 --> 00:04:00,053
Speaker 3: who will break the rules if it means he can

78
00:04:00,093 --> 00:04:02,293
Speaker 3: connect with his patients in different ways, even if it

79
00:04:02,293 --> 00:04:05,213
Speaker 3: gets him fired. So you know, it's a great little

80
00:04:05,213 --> 00:04:08,373
Speaker 3: medical drama. It's one of those case by the Case

81
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:10,493
Speaker 3: of the Week kind of shows. Yeah, so it's not

82
00:04:10,533 --> 00:04:12,373
Speaker 3: doing anything new, but very watchable.

83
00:04:12,493 --> 00:04:13,013
Speaker 1: Nice cool.

84
00:04:13,093 --> 00:04:16,053
Speaker 2: So that's Brilliant Minds. That's on Neon. Joan is also

85
00:04:16,093 --> 00:04:19,213
Speaker 2: on Neon. That's the British crime series, and Last Days

Speaker 2: of the Space Age is on Disney Plus. Atara. I've

87
00:04:21,773 --> 00:04:25,373
Speaker 2: excused my forgetfulness, but I should have asked immediately, is

88
00:04:25,373 --> 00:04:28,813
Speaker 2: everything okay your place, because you're in You're in Otaga, right, Yes.

90
00:04:32,213 --> 00:04:34,933
Speaker 3: and the rain has stopped, which is great after about

91
00:04:34,933 --> 00:04:38,733
Speaker 3: forty eight hours of solid rain, so that's really good news.

92
00:04:38,813 --> 00:04:39,013
Speaker 1: Yeah.

93
00:04:39,053 --> 00:04:41,093
Speaker 2: Well, we're thinking of everyone who's been affected and hoping

94
00:04:41,093 --> 00:04:43,613
Speaker 2: that people whose houses have been evacuated can go home soon.

95
