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

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,693
Speaker 1: from News Talks AB.

3
00:00:12,653 --> 00:00:15,413
Speaker 2: It's time to get your screen time picks for the weekend.

4
00:00:15,493 --> 00:00:18,733
Speaker 2: Tara Awards our screen time expert. She's here with her

5
00:00:18,813 --> 00:00:23,013
Speaker 2: three shows to recommend this weekday. Tara, good morning. Let's

6
00:00:23,013 --> 00:00:26,453
Speaker 2: begin with a show streaming on Netflix. Tell us about Wednesday.

7
00:00:27,613 --> 00:00:30,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new season of Wednesday, which is

8
00:00:30,133 --> 00:00:34,373
Speaker 3: Netflix's very entertaining remake of the Adams Family story, directed

9
00:00:34,413 --> 00:00:36,693
Speaker 3: and produced by Tim Burton. And as soon as I

10
00:00:36,693 --> 00:00:39,613
Speaker 3: say Tim Burton, you understand the vibe. This is a

11
00:00:39,733 --> 00:00:42,973
Speaker 3: supernatural fantasy series with a very dark sense of humor

12
00:00:42,973 --> 00:00:46,293
Speaker 3: to it. It stars Geno Otaga and Altager and ketine

13
00:00:46,333 --> 00:00:48,973
Speaker 3: Zita Jones, and it's told from the perspective of the

14
00:00:49,013 --> 00:00:53,013
Speaker 3: Adams family daughter Wednesday, who is sent to boarding school

15
00:00:53,093 --> 00:00:56,653
Speaker 3: and has to use her special powers to solve a

16
00:00:56,733 --> 00:00:59,773
Speaker 3: murder mystery. And it's one of those shows that it

17
00:00:59,813 --> 00:01:02,853
Speaker 3: brings all the things you remember from the original Adams

18
00:01:02,853 --> 00:01:05,933
Speaker 3: Family sitcom, the same characters, the same quirks, but it's

19
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:09,093
Speaker 3: still fresh and modern. There's lots of special effects here.

20
00:01:09,373 --> 00:01:11,733
Speaker 3: It's set in a contemporary world, and I think that's

21
00:01:11,773 --> 00:01:14,053
Speaker 3: why it's been such a hit for Netflix. It's a

22
00:01:14,053 --> 00:01:16,013
Speaker 3: great max of the old and the new, and that

23
00:01:16,053 --> 00:01:18,333
Speaker 3: probably pulls in lots of generations to it as well.

24
00:01:19,173 --> 00:01:22,533
Speaker 3: Tim Burton adds his gothic, creepy ascetic to it, which

25
00:01:22,573 --> 00:01:24,693
Speaker 3: elevates it as well. But this is a show that's

26
00:01:24,733 --> 00:01:28,173
Speaker 3: having fun. It's sharp and dark and funny. It's a

27
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:31,733
Speaker 3: fresh twist on a murder mystery series. And with Tim

28
00:01:31,733 --> 00:01:33,613
Speaker 3: Burton behind it, you know it's going to be quirky

29
00:01:33,693 --> 00:01:34,413
Speaker 3: and a good time.

30
00:01:34,493 --> 00:01:38,253
Speaker 2: Yeah. Superb Okay, that's Wednesday. That's on Netflix. On Neon

31
00:01:38,573 --> 00:01:39,813
Speaker 2: tell us about Outlander.

32
00:01:40,893 --> 00:01:43,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is Outlander Blood of My Blood, which is

33
00:01:43,813 --> 00:01:46,373
Speaker 3: a new historical drama and it's a prequel to the

34
00:01:46,453 --> 00:01:50,773
Speaker 3: series Outlander. Outlander is a very popular show. It's I

35
00:01:50,813 --> 00:01:53,133
Speaker 3: think it's eighth season is coming out next year and

36
00:01:53,173 --> 00:01:55,613
Speaker 3: it's based on a best selling book by Diana Gabaldon.

37
00:01:55,933 --> 00:01:59,133
Speaker 3: It's about a nurse called Clear who visits Scotland, accidentally

38
00:01:59,213 --> 00:02:01,813
Speaker 3: travels back in time to the eighteenth century and falls

39
00:02:01,813 --> 00:02:04,453
Speaker 3: in love with a guy called Jamie Well. This new series,

40
00:02:04,493 --> 00:02:06,493
Speaker 3: Blood of My Blood is made by the same tea

41
00:02:06,653 --> 00:02:09,453
Speaker 3: and it tells the story of Jamie and Clear's parents.

42
00:02:09,693 --> 00:02:12,613
Speaker 3: So it's set a generation before Outlander takes place, but

43
00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:15,973
Speaker 3: it's very similar to Outland itself. It's still set in Scotland,

44
00:02:16,293 --> 00:02:19,093
Speaker 3: still has two different timelines, one in the seventeen hundreds

45
00:02:19,093 --> 00:02:21,493
Speaker 3: and one in the nineteen hundreds, and there's two love

46
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:24,733
Speaker 3: stories at play here, so it's not really doing anything different.

47
00:02:24,773 --> 00:02:26,853
Speaker 3: It's a bit of time traveling, a bit of romance,

48
00:02:26,933 --> 00:02:29,853
Speaker 3: a bit of historical drama. But it will feel very

49
00:02:29,853 --> 00:02:33,213
Speaker 3: familiar for Outlander fans. It is supposed to be a

50
00:02:33,253 --> 00:02:35,773
Speaker 3: standalone show, so you could start watching this if you

51
00:02:35,813 --> 00:02:39,053
Speaker 3: haven't seen Outlander before. It does throw a lot at

52
00:02:39,093 --> 00:02:41,173
Speaker 3: you in the first episode, just because it's setting up

53
00:02:41,173 --> 00:02:44,333
Speaker 3: so many characters and storylines. So I think this is

54
00:02:44,413 --> 00:02:47,773
Speaker 3: one particularly for Outlander fans. They'll be very excited about this.

55
00:02:48,253 --> 00:02:51,013
Speaker 3: It's fun to see those familiar characters pop up in

56
00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:55,653
Speaker 3: a younger form and it keeps a beloved story alive

57
00:02:56,293 --> 00:02:57,453
Speaker 3: in a slightly different way.

58
00:02:57,533 --> 00:03:00,733
Speaker 2: Yeah. Cool, Okay, that's Outlander. Blood of My Blood And

59
00:03:00,773 --> 00:03:04,133
Speaker 2: also on Netflix Stolen Heist of the Century.

60
00:03:05,293 --> 00:03:08,093
Speaker 3: Yeah. One thing you can rely on Netflix for is

61
00:03:08,133 --> 00:03:11,973
Speaker 3: a really strange and unusual and very bingeable true crime

62
00:03:12,013 --> 00:03:15,133
Speaker 3: documentary they might go to on a lazy Sunday afternoon,

63
00:03:15,573 --> 00:03:19,133
Speaker 3: and this Netflix latest true crime documentary is no exception.

64
00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:21,933
Speaker 3: This is Stolen heightst of the Century, and it's about

65
00:03:22,013 --> 00:03:24,693
Speaker 3: a diamond heist that took place in two thousand and

66
00:03:24,693 --> 00:03:28,133
Speaker 3: three in the Diamond district of Antwerp. The thieves broke

67
00:03:28,173 --> 00:03:30,853
Speaker 3: into a vault and took millions of dollars in diamonds,

68
00:03:31,493 --> 00:03:33,773
Speaker 3: but pulled it off without setting off any alarms or

69
00:03:33,853 --> 00:03:37,573
Speaker 3: raising any suspicion. It seemed like the most impossible of crimes,

70
00:03:37,653 --> 00:03:40,293
Speaker 3: and so this documentary talks to a lot of people

71
00:03:40,293 --> 00:03:43,253
Speaker 3: who were involved, from the detectives trying to solve the case,

72
00:03:43,293 --> 00:03:45,933
Speaker 3: to one of the thieves themselves who was the mastermind

73
00:03:45,973 --> 00:03:48,493
Speaker 3: behind it all. And there's a bit of you know,

74
00:03:48,533 --> 00:03:50,653
Speaker 3: you're not sure who to believe, can you trust everything

75
00:03:50,653 --> 00:03:53,493
Speaker 3: that's been said here? And just so many twists and turns.

76
00:03:53,573 --> 00:03:56,133
Speaker 3: It's a very slick watch, drops you straight into the

77
00:03:56,133 --> 00:03:59,173
Speaker 3: story straight away, and it's not trying to do anything

78
00:03:59,253 --> 00:04:03,093
Speaker 3: too fancy. The story itself is so weird and wonderful

79
00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:06,293
Speaker 3: that that's enough to kind of carry the show along. So, yeah,

80
00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:08,933
Speaker 3: one of those stranger than fiction tales. Lots of twists

81
00:04:08,973 --> 00:04:11,893
Speaker 3: and turns, lots of unusual characters and told in a

82
00:04:11,933 --> 00:04:12,893
Speaker 3: really entertaining way.

83
00:04:13,053 --> 00:04:16,413
Speaker 2: Fantastic, Okay, cool, that's stolen Heist of the Century. That's

84
00:04:16,453 --> 00:04:21,013
Speaker 2: on Netflix Wednesday. Tim Burton's Adams Family drama is also
