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 --> 00:00:11,413 Speaker 1: from News Talks. 3 00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:14,133 Speaker 2: A'd be it's hard to catch up with our screen time. 4 00:00:14,173 --> 00:00:16,813 Speaker 2: The expert Tara Ward has the tough job of picking 5 00:00:16,813 --> 00:00:19,653 Speaker 2: out three shows for watching or streaming to recommend to 6 00:00:19,733 --> 00:00:20,533 Speaker 2: us all every week. 7 00:00:20,573 --> 00:00:24,173 Speaker 3: Hey, hey doing Tara, Good morning and well thanks Chack 8 00:00:24,333 --> 00:00:24,693 Speaker 3: very good. 9 00:00:24,773 --> 00:00:28,333 Speaker 2: Hey, you got some absolutely cracking shows for us, So 10 00:00:28,453 --> 00:00:31,733 Speaker 2: let's kick things off. Were the latest one streaming on Netflix, 11 00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:36,053 Speaker 2: a new three part documentary series about Victoria Beckham. 12 00:00:37,093 --> 00:00:40,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new doco about Victoria Beckham, former 13 00:00:40,213 --> 00:00:44,053 Speaker 3: spice girl, married to footballer David Beckham and now successful 14 00:00:44,053 --> 00:00:47,333 Speaker 3: fashion designer. And a couple of years ago, David Beckham 15 00:00:47,653 --> 00:00:51,333 Speaker 3: released a really great Netflix documentary series about his life, 16 00:00:51,373 --> 00:00:54,813 Speaker 3: and I came to this series expecting a similar kind 17 00:00:54,853 --> 00:00:57,413 Speaker 3: of approach, that it would be a nostalgic look back 18 00:00:57,413 --> 00:01:00,213 Speaker 3: at what is an extraordinary life in the public eye, 19 00:01:00,293 --> 00:01:03,253 Speaker 3: being in the biggest pop band of the nineties, marrying 20 00:01:03,493 --> 00:01:07,293 Speaker 3: one of the world's most famous footballers, and becoming extremely 21 00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:10,413 Speaker 3: influential in pop culture. But that's not what this documentary 22 00:01:10,453 --> 00:01:14,253 Speaker 3: series is. This is more about Victoria Beckham, the fashion designer. 23 00:01:14,893 --> 00:01:17,853 Speaker 3: It's filmed around the launch of her fashion show dur 24 00:01:17,893 --> 00:01:21,293 Speaker 3: in Paris Fashion Week, and it focuses on how Victoria 25 00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:24,493 Speaker 3: Beckham launched her own business and the struggles around that 26 00:01:24,573 --> 00:01:27,533 Speaker 3: over the last fifteen years. And it struck me as 27 00:01:27,573 --> 00:01:30,853 Speaker 3: being a very polished and controlled piece of television. She's 28 00:01:30,893 --> 00:01:33,613 Speaker 3: not looking back, she's looking forward and saying I want 29 00:01:33,613 --> 00:01:36,813 Speaker 3: to be taken seriously as a designer in my own right. 30 00:01:37,733 --> 00:01:40,133 Speaker 3: It does dip into her life as a pop star 31 00:01:40,173 --> 00:01:43,133 Speaker 3: a bit and touches on some of the awful treatment 32 00:01:43,173 --> 00:01:45,533 Speaker 3: that she suffered in the media over the years, but 33 00:01:45,613 --> 00:01:49,213 Speaker 3: it doesn't go into any real depth. People like Anna 34 00:01:49,213 --> 00:01:51,933 Speaker 3: Wintour and Tom Ford and even Longoria are in this. 35 00:01:52,013 --> 00:01:54,893 Speaker 3: They speak very highly about her, who work ethic is 36 00:01:54,933 --> 00:01:57,933 Speaker 3: mentioned a lot. It's still an interesting watch. There's a 37 00:01:57,933 --> 00:02:00,773 Speaker 3: lot of behind the scenes footage, which I love, But 38 00:02:00,893 --> 00:02:04,013 Speaker 3: to me this felt more about brand Beckham than kind 39 00:02:04,053 --> 00:02:06,893 Speaker 3: of doing a deep dive into the new stuff past. 40 00:02:06,933 --> 00:02:10,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and look still interesting enough. I mean she's 41 00:02:10,453 --> 00:02:14,213 Speaker 2: a absolute character. Yes, controlled, I'm not surprised to hear that. 42 00:02:14,413 --> 00:02:17,933 Speaker 2: So that's Victoria Beckham. That's on Netflix on three now 43 00:02:18,213 --> 00:02:19,493 Speaker 2: tell us about film club. 44 00:02:20,533 --> 00:02:23,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is quite a sweet, understated British rom com 45 00:02:23,853 --> 00:02:26,653 Speaker 3: that was created by and stars Amy lou Wood, who 46 00:02:26,693 --> 00:02:29,813 Speaker 3: most recently starred in The White Lotus. And she plays 47 00:02:29,813 --> 00:02:32,693 Speaker 3: a young woman, ev who is an agoraphobic. And Evie 48 00:02:32,733 --> 00:02:35,373 Speaker 3: hasn't really left the house in six months. She lives 49 00:02:35,373 --> 00:02:37,813 Speaker 3: at home in Manchester with her mum and her sister. 50 00:02:38,453 --> 00:02:41,973 Speaker 3: But Evie loves movies and every Friday night she transforms 51 00:02:41,973 --> 00:02:44,013 Speaker 3: her garage. She has a film club in there and 52 00:02:44,173 --> 00:02:47,373 Speaker 3: invites her friends over. And this is a rom com 53 00:02:47,733 --> 00:02:49,533 Speaker 3: or that's a bit of a family drama as well. 54 00:02:50,013 --> 00:02:52,733 Speaker 3: So when one of Evie's friends, Noah, announces that he's 55 00:02:52,733 --> 00:02:55,773 Speaker 3: moving away, she starts to wonder whether there's more to 56 00:02:55,853 --> 00:02:59,293 Speaker 3: their relationship than just being friends. A great cast in this. 57 00:02:59,413 --> 00:03:02,813 Speaker 3: Saran Jones plays Evie's mum, and Owen Cooper, who played 58 00:03:02,853 --> 00:03:05,533 Speaker 3: the young boy Jamie and Adolescence he's in this as well. 59 00:03:06,373 --> 00:03:08,733 Speaker 3: And it is promoted as a comedy, but it's not 60 00:03:08,733 --> 00:03:10,813 Speaker 3: really one of those laugh out loud kind of comedies. 61 00:03:10,853 --> 00:03:13,533 Speaker 3: It's sort of underplayed. It's more of a drama, I think, 62 00:03:13,653 --> 00:03:16,533 Speaker 3: but very sweet and warm in a very easy watch. 63 00:03:16,573 --> 00:03:19,173 Speaker 2: Oh nice, okay, that's film club. It's on three Now. 64 00:03:19,173 --> 00:03:22,853 Speaker 2: Also on three Now, the Celebrity Traders UK has just started. 65 00:03:23,653 --> 00:03:25,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been waiting for this one. This is the 66 00:03:25,373 --> 00:03:27,933 Speaker 3: celebrity version of The Traders UK. And if you haven't 67 00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:32,093 Speaker 3: seen The Traders yet, it's a fantastic reality series that's 68 00:03:32,093 --> 00:03:34,093 Speaker 3: gone all around the world, including here in New Zealand. 69 00:03:34,733 --> 00:03:37,093 Speaker 3: The Traders takes a group of people. It's like a 70 00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:41,213 Speaker 3: parlor game of murder mystery. There are secret Traders that 71 00:03:41,293 --> 00:03:44,173 Speaker 3: have to murder the other contestants without being discovered, while 72 00:03:44,213 --> 00:03:46,773 Speaker 3: the other contestants have to work out who among them 73 00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:50,133 Speaker 3: are the Traders. And I think the British make the 74 00:03:50,133 --> 00:03:52,453 Speaker 3: best international version of The Traders. And now they've done 75 00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:55,373 Speaker 3: a celebrity version which has just started on three Now. 76 00:03:55,453 --> 00:03:58,213 Speaker 3: And sometimes when you get a celebrity version of a show, 77 00:03:58,293 --> 00:04:00,413 Speaker 3: the names can be a bit dubious. But they have 78 00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:02,453 Speaker 3: pulled in some big names for this one and I 79 00:04:02,453 --> 00:04:04,893 Speaker 3: think that speaks to the love that people have for 80 00:04:05,013 --> 00:04:08,813 Speaker 3: The Traders UK. Even Fry is in this, the wonderful 81 00:04:08,813 --> 00:04:12,733 Speaker 3: Alan Carr, actors like Celia Imriy, Jonathan Ross, the TV 82 00:04:12,813 --> 00:04:15,613 Speaker 3: present out lots of British comedians and actors. It's a 83 00:04:15,693 --> 00:04:19,173 Speaker 3: really intriguing bunch of celebrities and the challenge here I 84 00:04:19,173 --> 00:04:21,613 Speaker 3: think will be is that these are very successful people 85 00:04:21,613 --> 00:04:24,893 Speaker 3: who are perhaps not used to being thrown into situations 86 00:04:24,893 --> 00:04:28,453 Speaker 3: that they're not in charge of, and essentially they are 87 00:04:28,493 --> 00:04:31,573 Speaker 3: raising money for charity. But The Traders is theater. It's 88 00:04:31,653 --> 00:04:34,253 Speaker 3: melodrama and it's a lot of fun. It's about the 89 00:04:34,293 --> 00:04:37,653 Speaker 3: psychology of how people behave and how persuasive you are 90 00:04:37,733 --> 00:04:39,893 Speaker 3: and can you really be a good liar and how 91 00:04:39,893 --> 00:04:42,293 Speaker 3: far will you take it? So don't be put off 92 00:04:42,293 --> 00:04:45,573 Speaker 3: by this being a reality show. It's really intriguing and 93 00:04:45,653 --> 00:04:47,453 Speaker 3: it's funny and I think the British just do this 94 00:04:47,573 --> 00:04:47,973 Speaker 3: so well. 95 00:04:48,173 --> 00:04:50,733 Speaker 2: I absolutely love it.
