1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,493 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:13,053 Speaker 1: from News Talk sedb Our. 3 00:00:13,093 --> 00:00:18,493 Speaker 2: Reward is here with this week's screen Time Picks Morning, Kyona. Okay, 4 00:00:18,493 --> 00:00:20,933 Speaker 2: we've got three shows to tell us about this morning 5 00:00:20,973 --> 00:00:23,493 Speaker 2: to recommend this morning. Let's begin with Fake, which is 6 00:00:23,533 --> 00:00:24,333 Speaker 2: on three now. 7 00:00:25,453 --> 00:00:28,893 Speaker 3: Yeah. This is a fantastic new psychological thriller and it's 8 00:00:28,893 --> 00:00:31,173 Speaker 3: one of those shows that is a real slow burn, 9 00:00:31,333 --> 00:00:33,333 Speaker 3: but once it grabs you, it won't let you go. 10 00:00:33,773 --> 00:00:36,333 Speaker 3: It's based on a true story and it's an Australian 11 00:00:36,413 --> 00:00:39,533 Speaker 3: drama that stars Asher Ketty and she plays a magazine 12 00:00:39,533 --> 00:00:44,093 Speaker 3: writer called Bertie. Bertie is almost fifty, she's single and 13 00:00:44,333 --> 00:00:48,133 Speaker 3: she reluctantly tries online dating and meets a farmer or 14 00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:51,213 Speaker 3: a grazier as he calls himself, called Joe, who's played 15 00:00:51,213 --> 00:00:54,373 Speaker 3: by the wonderful David Wedham. She doesn't like him at first, 16 00:00:54,373 --> 00:00:56,893 Speaker 3: but she persuades herself to give things a go, and 17 00:00:57,013 --> 00:01:00,173 Speaker 3: Joe is pretty smooth and he offers this lifestyle that 18 00:01:00,213 --> 00:01:04,293 Speaker 3: Bertie really wants, but he's obviously hiding something. Bertie just 19 00:01:04,293 --> 00:01:06,253 Speaker 3: doesn't know what. And that's what we're going to see. 20 00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:09,893 Speaker 3: This mystery unfold as the show goes on, and as 21 00:01:09,933 --> 00:01:12,413 Speaker 3: I said, I did find this slow to start, and 22 00:01:12,453 --> 00:01:14,093 Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if I could stick with it, But 23 00:01:14,213 --> 00:01:17,293 Speaker 3: in about forty five minutes into episode one, it clicks 24 00:01:17,453 --> 00:01:20,613 Speaker 3: and I think that slower pace of the show really 25 00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:24,773 Speaker 3: matches the measured, controlled way that Joe slowly starts to 26 00:01:24,853 --> 00:01:28,693 Speaker 3: mess with Bertie's mind. Joe is a romance scammer, and 27 00:01:28,973 --> 00:01:32,373 Speaker 3: this shows how smart people can get sucked into those scams, 28 00:01:32,373 --> 00:01:35,373 Speaker 3: and how when you want something really badly you'll ignore 29 00:01:35,413 --> 00:01:38,653 Speaker 3: all the red flags. Asha Ketty, of course she start 30 00:01:38,693 --> 00:01:41,413 Speaker 3: an offspring. She never gives a bad performance on TV. 31 00:01:41,573 --> 00:01:44,293 Speaker 3: And David Wenham is so good here as well. This 32 00:01:44,413 --> 00:01:47,453 Speaker 3: is tense and a bit stressful to watch, but so 33 00:01:47,453 --> 00:01:47,853 Speaker 3: so good. 34 00:01:48,013 --> 00:01:51,013 Speaker 2: Oh fantastic sounds great. That is fake. That is on 35 00:01:51,173 --> 00:01:54,893 Speaker 2: three now. Next up, a show's streaming on Netflix. Tell 36 00:01:54,933 --> 00:01:56,333 Speaker 2: us about No Good Deed. 37 00:01:57,613 --> 00:02:01,093 Speaker 3: Yeah. This is a new, dark American comedy that stars 38 00:02:01,133 --> 00:02:05,733 Speaker 3: Lisa Kudro and Ray Romano, and it's part comedy, part drama, 39 00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:09,373 Speaker 3: part mister. They play two homeowners, a couple of empty 40 00:02:09,413 --> 00:02:13,733 Speaker 3: nesters who trying to sell their beautiful Spanish style house 41 00:02:13,773 --> 00:02:16,733 Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, and there are three different couples who 42 00:02:16,733 --> 00:02:18,813 Speaker 3: will do anything to buy it in the hope that 43 00:02:18,893 --> 00:02:21,813 Speaker 3: this house will solve all of their problems. But what 44 00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:24,773 Speaker 3: Ray Romano and Lisa Cudro's characters have to do is 45 00:02:24,933 --> 00:02:27,973 Speaker 3: hide the bad history of the house. Something terrible has 46 00:02:28,013 --> 00:02:30,733 Speaker 3: happened there. There's a lot of secrets hidden away, and 47 00:02:30,973 --> 00:02:34,533 Speaker 3: it's that idea that this dream house might actually be 48 00:02:34,653 --> 00:02:38,333 Speaker 3: more of a nightmare. The show has a great ensemble cast. 49 00:02:38,373 --> 00:02:41,493 Speaker 3: It's a bit like White Lotus or Knives Out, where 50 00:02:41,573 --> 00:02:44,973 Speaker 3: every one of the different storylines is driven by talented 51 00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:47,853 Speaker 3: actors and all those storylines are going to cross over 52 00:02:47,893 --> 00:02:51,213 Speaker 3: at some point. It's written by the creator of Dead 53 00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:54,733 Speaker 3: to Me, which is another great Netflix dark comedy. But 54 00:02:54,813 --> 00:02:57,133 Speaker 3: I think Lisa Cudro is the best thing about this 55 00:02:57,253 --> 00:02:59,453 Speaker 3: She lifts the show. The story is a little bit 56 00:02:59,493 --> 00:03:02,733 Speaker 3: uneven at times, it's a bit inconsistent, but it's very watchable, 57 00:03:02,893 --> 00:03:05,933 Speaker 3: very bingeable. The episodes are only thirty minutes long, so 58 00:03:05,933 --> 00:03:07,733 Speaker 3: there's a great snappy past to it as well. 59 00:03:07,853 --> 00:03:10,693 Speaker 2: Excellent That's No Good Deed. That's on Netflix and on 60 00:03:10,773 --> 00:03:13,693 Speaker 2: Disney Plus Alton John never too Late. 61 00:03:14,853 --> 00:03:17,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you are an Alton fan or you grew 62 00:03:17,173 --> 00:03:20,373 Speaker 3: up with Elton John's music. This new Disney Plus documentary 63 00:03:20,413 --> 00:03:22,853 Speaker 3: is a muss watch. I think this is never too late. 64 00:03:22,893 --> 00:03:26,133 Speaker 3: It's a documentary that looks back on Elton John's life 65 00:03:26,133 --> 00:03:29,093 Speaker 3: and career, and it's sort of framed as a chat 66 00:03:29,133 --> 00:03:32,653 Speaker 3: between two friends that takes place while Elton is on 67 00:03:32,893 --> 00:03:35,733 Speaker 3: his final tour through America in twenty twenty two. So 68 00:03:36,253 --> 00:03:38,933 Speaker 3: you know, he's mindful that he's retiring. There's there's no 69 00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:41,213 Speaker 3: better time to look back on his life, and he's 70 00:03:41,253 --> 00:03:44,613 Speaker 3: called this the definitive documentary of his career. It is 71 00:03:44,973 --> 00:03:48,213 Speaker 3: co directed by his husband, David Furnish, and co directed, 72 00:03:48,533 --> 00:03:51,853 Speaker 3: co produced by Elton John's own film company. So you know, 73 00:03:51,893 --> 00:03:54,693 Speaker 3: it's not going to be a really critical expose. And 74 00:03:55,333 --> 00:03:57,653 Speaker 3: in a lot of ways, there's nothing really new here 75 00:03:57,773 --> 00:04:01,533 Speaker 3: or no sort of shocking unexpected revelations, But I don't 76 00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:05,333 Speaker 3: know that that matters. This is a wonderful, sentimental, thoughtful 77 00:04:05,373 --> 00:04:08,813 Speaker 3: look back at an readable life. It focuses a lot 78 00:04:08,933 --> 00:04:11,613 Speaker 3: on the nineteen seventies when Elton was the biggest rock 79 00:04:11,653 --> 00:04:13,933 Speaker 3: star in the world and what that rise to fame 80 00:04:13,973 --> 00:04:17,053 Speaker 3: did to him. You know, he talks about his addiction issues. 81 00:04:17,133 --> 00:04:20,213 Speaker 3: You see him chat with his kids today. You do 82 00:04:20,253 --> 00:04:22,253 Speaker 3: see a lot of different sides to him, but it's 83 00:04:22,413 --> 00:04:25,813 Speaker 3: just so much good music and this this documentary really 84 00:04:25,853 --> 00:04:28,173 Speaker 3: catches how brilliant Elton John is and it's such an 85 00:04:28,253 --> 00:04:31,213 Speaker 3: entertaining watch. Great for Christmas as well. If you need 86 00:04:31,253 --> 00:04:34,893 Speaker 3: something that lots of generations, different generations going to jow together, 87 00:04:35,013 --> 00:04:36,053 Speaker 3: this is a really good choice. 88 00:04:36,093 --> 00:04:38,613 Speaker 2: Is he quite introspective in it? Like? How is he? 89 00:04:39,013 --> 00:04:39,213 Speaker 1: You know? 90 00:04:39,213 --> 00:04:41,493 Speaker 2: What's he like in it? Like modern Elton? 91 00:04:42,493 --> 00:04:44,853 Speaker 3: He is quite introspective. It's sort of got a full 92 00:04:44,893 --> 00:04:48,293 Speaker 3: circle moment because he's looking back on that nineteen seventy 93 00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:51,333 Speaker 3: five Dodges concert, which is what really. 94 00:04:51,093 --> 00:04:53,413 Speaker 2: Explodes a moment. Are Yeah, right. 95 00:04:53,533 --> 00:04:56,693 Speaker 3: Totally, And that's where he's finishing his tour. So he's 96 00:04:56,693 --> 00:04:59,293 Speaker 3: sort of at that full circle moment where he's looking back. 97 00:05:00,253 --> 00:05:00,493 Speaker 1: You know. 98 00:05:00,853 --> 00:05:03,853 Speaker 3: He talks about not being around for his kids and 99 00:05:03,853 --> 00:05:05,733 Speaker 3: things like that, so he's kind of aware that he's 100 00:05:05,733 --> 00:05:09,653 Speaker 3: getting old and talks a little about friendship with John 101 00:05:09,733 --> 00:05:14,173 Speaker 3: Lennon and just is very grateful I think for all 102 00:05:14,173 --> 00:05:17,053 Speaker 3: the life that he's lived and the amazing things that 103 00:05:17,453 --> 00:05:18,053 Speaker 3: he's done. 104 00:05:18,213 --> 00:05:20,293 Speaker 2: Great, Okay, I'm looking forward to watching that.
