1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Nine. Perfect Strangers came out in twenty twenty one was 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: generally seen as a hit. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: wife was circumspect on it. I thought it was good. Anyway, 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman's Start Strangers come together for a retreat. They connected, 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: but you don't know how. It was set in Australia. 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: Now we've got season two which is set in Austria, 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: and Murray Bartlet and Nannie Murphy are two at the Stars. 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: Butlet went of course an Emmy for his role as 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: resort manager in the first season of White Lotus, Andie 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: Murphy is best known as Alexis on Shit's Creek. Anyway, 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: Murray and Annie both were this good morning back at you. Annie. 12 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: Have you seen it in totality and if so, what 13 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: do you make of it? 14 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: I've experienced it in totality. I've only watched the first four. 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: It is a wild, unhinged ramp of a season of television, 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 2: and it is We were so lucky. The cast is 17 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: so extraordinary and the crew was so extraordinary, and so 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: we really really looked out with everybody involved in this 19 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: full world ride. 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: What did you know going into it? Did you see 21 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: season one were you a fan? Have you heard of 22 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: it at all? 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: I of course had heard of it. I watched it. 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: After getting the offer for season two, I did a 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: full binge and it was so exciting. The thing that 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: was most exciting to me was the ensemble nature of 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: all of it, knowing that I was about to go 28 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: into this, you know, long shoots. We were there for 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: six months in Munich with a whole bunch of really talented, 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: really theater dorky actors, and so I was. I was 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: thrilled by the prospect. 32 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: What about you, Murray, What did you know of it? 33 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: I'd watched the first season and I really loved the 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: whole premise of the show, so I, like I dove 35 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: in and devoured it. So I was super excited to 36 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: be part of the second season. 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: Do you think this has got legs? And this question 38 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: is applicable to both of you because if you look 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: at White Lotus, MA, that's got legs, that changes lives, 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: it's a thing. Could this be a thing? I think 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: it is a thing. 42 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: I think you know it's it's a It is a product, 43 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: as White Lotus was of a time when we were 44 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: all locked down, so we were looking for shows where 45 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 3: we could all be locked down together and make a 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 3: TV show. So, I but I think it's a it's 47 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: a great concept for for how to shoot a TV show. 48 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 3: It it I and I had this experience on White 49 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: Lotus and on nine Perfect Strangers where you're all transplanted 50 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: to another place, you kind of you know, in each 51 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: other's worlds the whole time as characters and as people, 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: and there's something really beautiful about that that translates into 53 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: the show, I think. So I think it's I think 54 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 3: it's got legs and it's running on them. 55 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: Are you desperate to be back for season three? 56 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: I don't think we'd be welcome back. I don't think either. 57 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: I think the whole thing is your toss. You toss 58 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: what you had and you get a whole new batch 59 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: of people, and. 60 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: It's very complete this season. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure 61 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: we could see where these characters go. 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: Who knows. 63 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm open to it. But I think it's 64 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: the sort of design of the show that is that 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 3: if there was a third season, it'd probably be a 66 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: whole new group of people. 67 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Is that the word it's going any because I mean 68 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the White Lotus thing, you will have followed as much 69 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: as anybody else. And once upon a time, say Shit's Creek, 70 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: for example, what you do as you start, you get 71 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: a hit, then you get another season of the hit, 72 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: third season, and so it goes for its entirety, for 73 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: an arc, whatever it may be. These things White Lotus 74 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: seems to be a The cast come in, some die, 75 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: some don't, some never come back. So you do your 76 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: thing and then you move on to other things. Is 77 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: that how it works? 78 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: I mean with this show, that that's how it works. 79 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: And it's you know, it's so bittersweet because you get 80 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: so close with this group of people, and I've been 81 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: saying it did feel like you're with a theater troupe 82 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: because of the amount of time that we spent together 83 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: and then but for this particular show, I think we 84 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: all knew that it was and we most likely weren't 85 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: going to carry on to a season three, and so 86 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: we just tried our best to make the most of 87 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: it when we will. We had that time together. 88 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: It was time you're talking about. And he said that 89 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: this buying that you know, there's so much time involves 90 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: so much sort of this extended period of six months 91 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: in the snow Pop from anything else. I mean, that's 92 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: a big ask, isn't it. 93 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: You know what, I love snow. I'm one of those. 94 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: I'm one of those. It loves a good snow sworem 95 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: and a good winter experience. But no, I mean, you know, 96 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 2: it was post COVID, post strike. It was this incredible 97 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: opportunity to go and travel and meet new people. And yes, 98 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: it was tough being away from my loves at home 99 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: for six months. But smoke them while you got them, 100 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: you know, just I'm trying to take every opportunity I 101 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 2: possibly can want. 102 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: Smoke them while you've got them. I've never rid Mike. 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: You may not have heard of that, But that's how 104 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: well is that? Like? 105 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: Is that? 106 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: What is that? Is that a Canadian North American thing? 107 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: You smoke them while you got them. 108 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: That's just why we did the whole shirt. 109 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: We just smoked them while we had them. 110 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Do you know, Murray, whether they think about and putting 111 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: an ensemble cast together for such a sustained period of 112 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: time with all the egos in the room, do they 113 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: work through who it is their hiring and whether it's 114 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: actually going to work in a confined space. That's a 115 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: good question. 116 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it depends what the result that 117 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: they they they want, you know, I guess they could. 118 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 3: They could decide they wanted to have like a really 119 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: kind of intense, sort of combative experience, So maybe they 120 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: that's that's how they choose people. Fortunately, with this they 121 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: they it seemed like they were going for harmony because 122 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: we all loved each other. What was interesting I think 123 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: about this this group of people is that we're all 124 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: very different sort of personalities and the characters are very different. 125 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: So it's it's kind. 126 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: Of an experiment putting very very different personalities together in 127 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 3: this way. But yeah, whatever they were doing, they chose 128 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: really well because we we we had a great time. 129 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: We connected really well as actors and also as people, 130 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: so you can't really ask for more than that. 131 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: Any how much of the cast or how many of 132 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: the cast did you know? And of those who didn't, 133 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: how many did you google and check out? 134 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: I knew what was her name? Nicole Kidman knew of her. 135 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: We both heard of her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had 136 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: to IMDb her. Goodle her up. 137 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: She's really she's done a lot of stuff. 138 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I of course knew Murray and was 139 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: such a massive, massive massive fan of his, Christine Baranski, 140 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 2: who is truly one of the most incredible women I've met. 141 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: I knew her, I knew Henry Golding, and then everyone 142 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: else I did. I did Google up and I was 143 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: thrilled to, you know, realize what a truly motley crue 144 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: they wrangled together. We we yeah, it just it really 145 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: did work out, because it doesn't. It doesn't always work 146 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: out that everyone kind of is. 147 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: Like, you know, hard, especially for a show, for a 148 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: job that's like six months and we're all, you know, 149 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: like transplanted together. It was, yeah, we were. We were very. 150 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: Fortunate, fantastic. Any how much time and if it and 151 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: energy and thought did you put into what happens post 152 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: Shit's Creek? Not enough? 153 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: Apparently, you know what it was. It was a bit 154 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: of a not a rude awakening. But it's always, no 155 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: matter what the show is or how much success it has, 156 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: you do kind of commit yourself to an amount of 157 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: time and relationships with people. And Shit's Creek was, you know, 158 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: seven years of my life, really big, special, important, life 159 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: changing years, and so you don't really want to think 160 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: about what comes next. And then it ends, and then 161 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: you're just kind of sitting there trying to figure out 162 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: if you're a Lexus or you're any and if you 163 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: can be anyone but Alexis, and so it was.
