She thought relative to relative to go 17 00:00:51,573 --> 00:00:55,453 Speaker 2: on exactly exactly. Anyway, three shows that we might be 18 00:00:55,533 --> 00:00:57,173 Speaker 2: able to watch a stream at home over the next 19 00:00:57,213 --> 00:01:00,093 Speaker 2: few weeks. Let's start off with the show streaming on Netflix. 20 00:01:00,573 --> 00:01:04,533 Speaker 2: Tell us about Robert de Niro in Zero Day Here. 21 00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:07,653 Speaker 3: This is a big new political threat series that's just 22 00:01:07,693 --> 00:01:09,853 Speaker 3: come to Netflix, and it stars Robert de Niro in 23 00:01:09,893 --> 00:01:13,853 Speaker 3: his first major TV role, and he's going straight to 24 00:01:13,893 --> 00:01:17,213 Speaker 3: the top. He's playing an American president who is hauled 25 00:01:17,253 --> 00:01:20,453 Speaker 3: out of retirement after a major cyber attack on America 26 00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:24,493 Speaker 3: leads to thousands of deaths and the country is thrown 27 00:01:24,533 --> 00:01:27,693 Speaker 3: into chaos. And Robert De Niro's character has given these 28 00:01:27,773 --> 00:01:31,453 Speaker 3: huge powers to lead the investigation into what happened. But 29 00:01:32,173 --> 00:01:35,133 Speaker 3: the deeper he digs, the more lies and cover up 30 00:01:35,253 --> 00:01:38,733 Speaker 3: he finds, and the question comes is he actually the 31 00:01:38,813 --> 00:01:41,013 Speaker 3: right man for the job or is he being set 32 00:01:41,093 --> 00:01:43,813 Speaker 3: up to fail? You know, who can he trust as 33 00:01:43,893 --> 00:01:46,573 Speaker 3: America falls apart in front of him? Now, this series 34 00:01:46,693 --> 00:01:50,213 Speaker 3: was made before Trump became president again, but there's no 35 00:01:50,253 --> 00:01:52,413 Speaker 3: doubt that it does feel quite timely in terms of 36 00:01:52,773 --> 00:01:57,173 Speaker 3: misinformation and people not trusting the government and conspiracy theories. 37 00:01:57,973 --> 00:01:59,773 Speaker 3: But I don't want to overeg it. This is very 38 00:01:59,893 --> 00:02:04,693 Speaker 3: much a bingeible Netflix conspiracy thriller. Probably a lot more 39 00:02:04,733 --> 00:02:07,613 Speaker 3: talking in this than it is a big action, fast 40 00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:10,813 Speaker 3: paced drama. You know, it is a bit formulaic, a 41 00:02:10,813 --> 00:02:14,253 Speaker 3: bit predictable, but I think there's more than enough happening 42 00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:17,613 Speaker 3: here to keep you watching for all six episodes. Denero 43 00:02:17,733 --> 00:02:21,853 Speaker 3: is great and surrounded by actors like Jesse Plemons, Angela Bassett, 44 00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:24,853 Speaker 3: Joan Allen, Connie Britton is an amazing cast in that 45 00:02:26,013 --> 00:02:28,613 Speaker 3: you know it's a blockbuster kind of conspiracy thriller and 46 00:02:28,653 --> 00:02:30,653 Speaker 3: you won't have to think too hard about it. It's 47 00:02:30,693 --> 00:02:31,733 Speaker 3: great for a weekend watch. 48 00:02:31,933 --> 00:02:34,453 Speaker 2: Nice. Okay, cool, that sounds really good. That's Zero Day. 49 00:02:34,533 --> 00:02:37,213 Speaker 2: That's on Netflix, starring Robert de Niro. Next up on 50 00:02:37,253 --> 00:02:40,093 Speaker 2: Disney Plus tell Us about a Thousand Blows. 51 00:02:41,613 --> 00:02:44,893 Speaker 3: This is a new historical drama about boxing, and it's 52 00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:48,333 Speaker 3: been created by Stephen Knight, who made the show Peaky Blinders. 53 00:02:48,773 --> 00:02:51,413 Speaker 3: So if you love the sense of time and place 54 00:02:51,493 --> 00:02:55,453 Speaker 3: that Peaky Blinders hads mixed in with some gritty, colorful drama, 55 00:02:55,853 --> 00:02:57,973 Speaker 3: then this is the show for you. It's set in 56 00:02:58,013 --> 00:03:01,253 Speaker 3: London in the East End in the eighteen eighties, and 57 00:03:01,813 --> 00:03:04,573 Speaker 3: it centers around an illegal boxing ring in the back 58 00:03:04,573 --> 00:03:06,973 Speaker 3: of a pub and walks to young friends who have 59 00:03:07,093 --> 00:03:09,693 Speaker 3: just arrived that day from Jamaica and they get pulled 60 00:03:09,693 --> 00:03:13,333 Speaker 3: into this underground boxing world where there are no rules 61 00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:16,253 Speaker 3: and everyone is just trying to survive, and so you 62 00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:19,293 Speaker 3: see the city through their eyes. But there's a lot 63 00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:21,933 Speaker 3: going on in this show. You've also got this all 64 00:03:22,093 --> 00:03:25,493 Speaker 3: female bunch of pickpockets who work the town, and you've 65 00:03:25,493 --> 00:03:27,853 Speaker 3: got the owner of the pub, a guy called Henry Sugar, 66 00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:31,533 Speaker 3: who is a b and knuckle boxing champion. He's a 67 00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:35,133 Speaker 3: pretty terrifying kind of guy and played by Stephen Graham, 68 00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:38,133 Speaker 3: who never does a bad TV show in my opinion. 69 00:03:38,453 --> 00:03:40,453 Speaker 3: So this show grabbed me right from the start. I 70 00:03:40,493 --> 00:03:42,813 Speaker 3: came to this thinking, you know, boxing drama. I don't 71 00:03:42,853 --> 00:03:46,893 Speaker 3: know about this, but it pulled me in straightaway. Beautiful costumes, 72 00:03:46,973 --> 00:03:52,053 Speaker 3: big energy, intriguing characters. It's inspired by real life people 73 00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:54,213 Speaker 3: and experiences, and then just kind of takes that and 74 00:03:54,293 --> 00:03:57,653 Speaker 3: runs with it. The boxing scenes can get quite brutal, 75 00:03:57,693 --> 00:03:59,653 Speaker 3: but there's just so much else here going on to 76 00:03:59,733 --> 00:04:00,213 Speaker 3: love as well. 77 00:04:00,293 --> 00:04:03,693 Speaker 2: Oh fantastic. Okay, that's a thousand blows from the maker 78 00:04:03,693 --> 00:04:06,893 Speaker 2: of Peaky Blinders. So that's on Disney Plus. And finally, 79 00:04:12,933 --> 00:04:19,013 Speaker 2: this is the very controversial new music behind White Lotus. 80 00:04:19,013 --> 00:04:22,413 Speaker 2: White Lotus in the first two seasons had that amazing 81 00:04:22,573 --> 00:04:24,773 Speaker 2: theme song that was kind of just a little bit 82 00:04:25,093 --> 00:04:27,973 Speaker 2: like unsettling or off putting. There was something about it, 83 00:04:28,013 --> 00:04:30,533 Speaker 2: just some little kind of chordal difference that made things 84 00:04:30,573 --> 00:04:33,093 Speaker 2: there's a little bit different and kind of distinguished it 85 00:04:33,093 --> 00:04:35,773 Speaker 2: from lots of shows. So anyway, White Lotus Season three 86 00:04:35,933 --> 00:04:39,413 Speaker 2: has a new theme song and a new location. It's 87 00:04:39,453 --> 00:04:41,453 Speaker 2: out streaming on Neon Now tell us about it. 88 00:04:42,853 --> 00:04:45,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people sort of split about the 89 00:04:45,653 --> 00:04:47,733 Speaker 3: new theme song, whether you know, they were sort of 90 00:04:47,733 --> 00:04:51,653 Speaker 3: expecting that offset version but then got this very new, 91 00:04:51,733 --> 00:04:52,453 Speaker 3: quite different one. 92 00:04:52,733 --> 00:04:53,293 Speaker 1: But yeah. 93 00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:56,733 Speaker 3: This is the third season of HBO's The White Lotus, 94 00:04:57,213 --> 00:04:59,773 Speaker 3: which is a dark satire. It's been created and written 95 00:04:59,813 --> 00:05:03,093 Speaker 3: by Mike White, who has always been very interested in 96 00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:07,533 Speaker 3: the intricacies and layers of human behavior. And each season 97 00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,853 Speaker 3: of The White Loatus is set in a five star 98 00:05:09,973 --> 00:05:13,293 Speaker 3: luxury resort. This season it's in Thailand, and it's about 99 00:05:13,293 --> 00:05:16,213 Speaker 3: a group of wealthy people who stay at the hotel 100 00:05:16,413 --> 00:05:18,893 Speaker 3: and the staff who have to cater to their every 101 00:05:18,893 --> 00:05:23,133 Speaker 3: whim and it kind of skewers all the terrible behavior 102 00:05:23,213 --> 00:05:26,013 Speaker 3: of the rich and the privileged and the power and 103 00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:29,133 Speaker 3: class systems that it's all built on. And every season 104 00:05:29,133 --> 00:05:31,013 Speaker 3: starts with a murder, and then we go back in 105 00:05:31,093 --> 00:05:33,253 Speaker 3: time and try and work out which one of these 106 00:05:33,293 --> 00:05:36,933 Speaker 3: characters has been murdered and why, and they're all pretty awful. 107 00:05:38,053 --> 00:05:40,333 Speaker 3: But it's a brilliant drama. I must admit I don't 108 00:05:40,333 --> 00:05:42,693 Speaker 3: always know what's going on in the White Lotus. I 109 00:05:42,773 --> 00:05:44,253 Speaker 3: kind of go along for the ride a lot of 110 00:05:44,253 --> 00:05:47,453 Speaker 3: the time. But it's very sharp, very clever, and beautifully 111 00:05:47,493 --> 00:05:50,373 Speaker 3: made as well. And this season, New Zealand actor Wigana 112 00:05:50,413 --> 00:05:53,173 Speaker 3: O'Reilly is starring in the show, which is huge to 113 00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:55,453 Speaker 3: be part of such an award winning show with this 114 00:05:55,573 --> 00:05:58,893 Speaker 3: big international cast, and she was fantastic in the first episode. 115 00:05:58,933 --> 00:06:01,613 Speaker 3: So I love White Loatus. It's so great to have 116 00:06:01,613 --> 00:06:01,933 Speaker 3: it back. 117 00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:04,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I really cannot wait to watch that.
