Speaker 2: shows to watch or stream at home. Caldatara, good morning, Okay, Lee,

15
00:00:46,653 --> 00:00:48,893
Speaker 2: let's begin with the show streaming on three now. Tell

16
00:00:48,933 --> 00:00:50,933
Speaker 2: us about the city is ours?

17
00:00:51,973 --> 00:00:52,173
Speaker 1: Yeah.

18
00:00:52,173 --> 00:00:55,693
Speaker 3: This is a great new British crime thriller that stars

19
00:00:55,693 --> 00:00:59,733
Speaker 3: Shaun Beem and Julie Graham. It's said in Liverpool and

20
00:00:59,773 --> 00:01:03,093
Speaker 3: it's a gangster drama about a crime family called the Phelans,

21
00:01:03,093 --> 00:01:06,773
Speaker 3: who control the drug trade in Liverpool. The head of family,

22
00:01:06,813 --> 00:01:10,693
Speaker 3: who's played by Sean Bean, is considering retirement, and the

23
00:01:10,893 --> 00:01:13,613
Speaker 3: likely heir to his crime throne is one of his

24
00:01:13,693 --> 00:01:17,653
Speaker 3: trusted associates associates. But what he doesn't know is that

25
00:01:18,253 --> 00:01:21,093
Speaker 3: his associate is starting to have a crisis of conscience.

26
00:01:21,213 --> 00:01:23,693
Speaker 3: He has fallen in love with a good woman and

27
00:01:23,733 --> 00:01:26,453
Speaker 3: that relationship and their plans for the future, what he's

28
00:01:26,493 --> 00:01:29,253
Speaker 3: doing with his life. He's living two lives effectively. One

29
00:01:29,333 --> 00:01:32,053
Speaker 3: is full of crime and violence and the other is

30
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:36,693
Speaker 3: this perfect family life. And obviously these two worlds are

31
00:01:36,693 --> 00:01:38,813
Speaker 3: going to clash at some point. And a few weeks

32
00:01:38,853 --> 00:01:41,213
Speaker 3: ago I talked about the show Mobland, which is another

33
00:01:41,253 --> 00:01:44,973
Speaker 3: show about a British gangster family. This is kind of similar,

34
00:01:45,013 --> 00:01:47,773
Speaker 3: but it's a bit brittier and the pace is a

35
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,893
Speaker 3: lot slower. But I watched this yesterday afternoon on a wet,

36
00:01:52,093 --> 00:01:55,133
Speaker 3: cold Friday and really enjoyed it. You know where you

37
00:01:55,213 --> 00:01:58,333
Speaker 3: are with the show. It's not trying to do anything

38
00:01:58,373 --> 00:02:02,493
Speaker 3: too different, but it's got some great characters, some surprising moment.

39
00:02:02,813 --> 00:02:07,453
Speaker 3: Sean Bean is great as this uncompromising crime. Just a

40
00:02:07,573 --> 00:02:10,893
Speaker 3: really good, solid crime drama to escape into.

41
00:02:11,253 --> 00:02:13,573
Speaker 2: Yeah nice, okay, cool, this sounds good. So that's on

42
00:02:13,653 --> 00:02:17,293
Speaker 2: three now. It's called The City Is ours also on

43
00:02:17,413 --> 00:02:21,013
Speaker 2: three hour at three hour tell Us about hospice Heroes.

44
00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:24,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new documentary series. It starts on

45
00:02:24,613 --> 00:02:26,933
Speaker 3: three tomorrow night and we'll also be on three now

46
00:02:26,973 --> 00:02:30,253
Speaker 3: and it's about what goes on inside our hospice. So

47
00:02:30,293 --> 00:02:33,173
Speaker 3: it's films inside talks of the hospice in Auckland, and

48
00:02:33,213 --> 00:02:35,893
Speaker 3: the show wants to take us inside a place that

49
00:02:36,013 --> 00:02:38,613
Speaker 3: lots of us might not know anything about or might

50
00:02:38,613 --> 00:02:41,613
Speaker 3: be a bit scared of. And so it's capturing the

51
00:02:41,733 --> 00:02:44,093
Speaker 3: life and the humor and the heart that goes on

52
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:46,773
Speaker 3: every day in a hospice, from the stuff to the

53
00:02:46,853 --> 00:02:50,053
Speaker 3: patients and their families as a way of kind of

54
00:02:50,053 --> 00:02:53,053
Speaker 3: breaking down those stigmas about what we might think a

55
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:55,813
Speaker 3: hospice is and what we might think end of care,

56
00:02:56,213 --> 00:02:58,453
Speaker 3: end of life care looks like, and a bit in

57
00:02:58,493 --> 00:03:01,733
Speaker 3: the way, like you know, the Casker Teer took us

58
00:03:01,773 --> 00:03:03,773
Speaker 3: inside a funeral home, but it was also full of

59
00:03:03,813 --> 00:03:07,013
Speaker 3: these moments of warmth and a heart. This has that

60
00:03:07,093 --> 00:03:09,053
Speaker 3: same vibe to it, lots of warmth and heart to

61
00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:11,693
Speaker 3: it as well. It's done with a lot of sensitivity

62
00:03:11,773 --> 00:03:15,133
Speaker 3: and care, and it's also an incredible tribute to the

63
00:03:15,173 --> 00:03:17,813
Speaker 3: work that the doctors and the nurses and the staff

64
00:03:17,853 --> 00:03:20,173
Speaker 3: do there, as well as all the volunteers in the

65
00:03:20,173 --> 00:03:24,173
Speaker 3: hospice shop for shops and things like that. So probably

66
00:03:24,173 --> 00:03:26,733
Speaker 3: a different show for me to be recommending today, but

67
00:03:26,773 --> 00:03:29,453
Speaker 3: I think a really important one. You will cry watching this,

68
00:03:29,613 --> 00:03:32,733
Speaker 3: but you'll also laugh and feel inspired and feel a

69
00:03:32,733 --> 00:03:33,853
Speaker 3: lot of gratitude as well.

70
00:03:34,213 --> 00:03:34,533
Speaker 1: Yeah.

71
00:03:34,853 --> 00:03:37,413
Speaker 2: See, I know a few of the staff members that

72
00:03:37,493 --> 00:03:40,173
Speaker 2: taught at the hospice. I've spent small amount of time

73
00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:43,613
Speaker 2: out there over the years. It's just amazing what has done,

74
00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:46,453
Speaker 2: and not just in torturalive but in hospices around the country.

75
00:03:46,493 --> 00:03:49,613
Speaker 2: So I actually just think, as well as being you know,

76
00:03:49,773 --> 00:03:52,653
Speaker 2: a moving and emotional watch, it's a really important story

77
00:03:52,653 --> 00:03:54,613
Speaker 2: and one that needs to be told more. I don't

78
00:03:54,613 --> 00:03:58,333
Speaker 2: think enough New Zealanders appreciate, you know, just how incredible

79
00:03:58,773 --> 00:04:01,253
Speaker 2: the work is that a lot of people you know,

80
00:04:01,293 --> 00:04:04,053
Speaker 2: put in these hospices around the country, often for little

81
00:04:04,133 --> 00:04:06,773
Speaker 2: or no money in many occasions as well. So yeah,

82
00:04:06,773 --> 00:04:10,813
Speaker 2: I'm really so. You can see that on three now,

83
00:04:11,053 --> 00:04:14,733
Speaker 2: and there are three big blockbuster shows returning to the

84
00:04:14,773 --> 00:04:19,773
Speaker 2: international streamers, Tour de France, Unchained and Squid Game on Netflix,

85
00:04:19,773 --> 00:04:21,373
Speaker 2: and The Beer on Disney Plus.

86
00:04:21,933 --> 00:04:25,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, three big shows all dropped new seasons last week,

87
00:04:25,333 --> 00:04:27,733
Speaker 3: and so if you haven't seen any of these shows,

88
00:04:27,813 --> 00:04:29,933
Speaker 3: or you're wanting to watch a show this weekend that

89
00:04:29,973 --> 00:04:32,373
Speaker 3: has a lot of episodes to get through, these are

90
00:04:32,613 --> 00:04:35,413
Speaker 3: three great options. The first Tour de France Unchained, which

91
00:04:35,453 --> 00:04:37,813
Speaker 3: is I mean, we've talked about this before, Jack, both

92
00:04:37,853 --> 00:04:41,653
Speaker 3: big fans of this. It's a brilliant, fast paced documentary series.

93
00:04:41,693 --> 00:04:43,933
Speaker 3: It takes you behind the scenes of the Tour de France.

94
00:04:44,173 --> 00:04:46,293
Speaker 3: Even if you don't know anything about cycling, this is

95
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:50,693
Speaker 3: a really addictive, fascinating, entertaining series. At times it feels

96
00:04:50,693 --> 00:04:53,333
Speaker 3: like you're actually in the Palatin And so the third

97
00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:55,813
Speaker 3: season of that has just dropped on Netflix. The second

98
00:04:55,813 --> 00:04:58,293
Speaker 3: show is The Bear on Disney Plus. Season four has

99
00:04:58,333 --> 00:05:00,653
Speaker 3: just dropped, and this is going to be my weekend watch.

100
00:05:01,213 --> 00:05:04,133
Speaker 3: The Bear is an award winning American drama about a

101
00:05:04,253 --> 00:05:07,093
Speaker 3: chef who comes home to Chicago to take his family

102
00:05:07,173 --> 00:05:10,613
Speaker 3: diner after his brother dies. It's quite a stressful and

103
00:05:11,213 --> 00:05:14,893
Speaker 3: frenetic show, but an excellent watt and the reviews for

104
00:05:14,933 --> 00:05:17,173
Speaker 3: this new season have been really strong, so I'm looking

105
00:05:17,173 --> 00:05:20,493
Speaker 3: forward to that. The third show, It's Squid Game on Netflix.

106
00:05:20,533 --> 00:05:22,973
Speaker 3: The third and final season of Squad Game dropped last

107
00:05:23,013 --> 00:05:26,373
Speaker 3: week and immediately broke all sorts of records. Over sixty

108
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:29,813
Speaker 3: million people watched Squid Game across three days, which is

109
00:05:30,093 --> 00:05:33,693
Speaker 3: a new record for Netflix. It's phenomenal. This is a

110
00:05:33,773 --> 00:05:37,653
Speaker 3: Korean series. It's a dark, dark satire about catalysm. But

111
00:05:37,693 --> 00:05:40,653
Speaker 3: it's one man's quest to win a large amount of

112
00:05:40,653 --> 00:05:43,413
Speaker 3: money by going on this twisted game show where if

113
00:05:43,413 --> 00:05:45,973
Speaker 3: you lose the game, you get shot. So it's pretty

114
00:05:45,973 --> 00:05:48,573
Speaker 3: bleak but also very good and in one of those

115
00:05:48,733 --> 00:05:51,533
Speaker 3: shows that it kind of has weird dreams about it afterwards.

116
00:05:51,653 --> 00:05:55,333
Speaker 3: It gets into your sub consciousness. But sixty million people,

117
00:05:55,453 --> 00:05:56,853
Speaker 3: it can't be all wrong, right.

118
00:05:57,453 --> 00:06:00,573
Speaker 2: No, Look, it's a bit of escapism, but it is. Yeah,

119
00:06:00,613 --> 00:06:04,013
Speaker 2: it's a satire. It's pretty dark satire, very dark. Yes,

120
00:06:04,053 --> 00:06:08,093
Speaker 2: squid Game is, and I mean the production is like extreme,

121
00:06:08,133 --> 00:06:10,333
Speaker 2: does say the least? So No, those are those are

122
00:06:10,373 --> 00:06:12,613
Speaker 2: great recommendations. Tar off top of head? Is it is

123
00:06:12,613 --> 00:06:14,893
Speaker 2: it the final series of the Bear? Do you know?

124
00:06:16,333 --> 00:06:18,013
Speaker 3: I don't think it is. I think they've left it

125
00:06:18,053 --> 00:06:19,453
Speaker 3: open for another season.

126
00:06:19,573 --> 00:06:21,853
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that just they need to stop, you

127
00:06:21,893 --> 00:06:23,813
Speaker 2: know when there's been a really good show, but you're like,

128
00:06:23,893 --> 00:06:25,613
Speaker 2: I really think they're just going to push it too far.

129
00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:27,493
Speaker 3: Now that's interesting.

130
00:06:28,733 --> 00:06:32,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, see with Tour France the final season. Yeah yeah,

131
00:06:32,493 --> 00:06:34,933
Speaker 2: sometimes lessens more. Sometimes just like calling it and being

132
00:06:34,933 --> 00:06:38,333
Speaker 2: assertive is a really good decision with the TV show. Okay,

133
00:06:38,533 --> 00:06:41,293
Speaker 2: love that. Those are great recommendations, So thank you very much.

134
00:06:41,333 --> 00:06:45,173
Speaker 2: So the City is Ours is that crime drama that

135
00:06:45,213 --> 00:06:48,693
Speaker 2: Tara mentioned first, that's on three now, So is Hospice Heroes,

136
00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:51,373
Speaker 2: and then the three big blockbusters that are back with
