1
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,933
Speaker 1: from News Talks AB.

3
00:00:27,173 --> 00:00:30,133
Speaker 2: News Talk ZB. You were jactating this Saturday Morning Kilder

4
00:00:30,253 --> 00:00:34,213
Speaker 2: Jack says Mark, social media is designed to be addictive

5
00:00:34,413 --> 00:00:37,093
Speaker 2: to make us feel good, gives us the dopamine hit,

6
00:00:37,173 --> 00:00:40,213
Speaker 2: the sugar rush, which is why it is not okay

7
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:44,533
Speaker 2: for developing minds and of questionable value for adults as

8
00:00:44,533 --> 00:00:46,853
Speaker 2: a society. I think it makes us less social. I

9
00:00:46,893 --> 00:00:48,853
Speaker 2: think it makes us more isolated. I think it makes

10
00:00:48,893 --> 00:00:51,293
Speaker 2: us more fragmented. So what's the answer. Well, for starters,

11
00:00:51,293 --> 00:00:56,013
Speaker 2: stop calling it social media education and work on creating

12
00:00:56,053 --> 00:00:59,693
Speaker 2: something better to replace it that doesn't involve smartphones. Thank

13
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:02,893
Speaker 2: you very much, Mark, thoughtful message there from Mark ninety two.

14
00:01:02,973 --> 00:01:04,613
Speaker 2: Ninety two is our text number if you want to

15
00:01:04,613 --> 00:01:07,093
Speaker 2: flick mear message as well. Francesca, can I reckon? We'll

16
00:01:07,093 --> 00:01:08,933
Speaker 2: have a few thoughts on that. What do you reckon? Francesca?

17
00:01:09,333 --> 00:01:12,693
Speaker 2: Would you support banning social media for people under the

18
00:01:12,733 --> 00:01:16,213
Speaker 2: age of sixteen unless they've got parental permission for fourteen

19
00:01:16,253 --> 00:01:17,133
Speaker 2: or fifteen year old.

20
00:01:17,693 --> 00:01:18,413
Speaker 3: Good luck with that.

21
00:01:19,253 --> 00:01:21,413
Speaker 4: Yeah, see, I would say to you is the mother

22
00:01:21,613 --> 00:01:24,973
Speaker 4: of a eighteen year old and a fifteen year old.

23
00:01:25,813 --> 00:01:28,973
Speaker 4: You know, my kids, they didn't get smartphones until they

24
00:01:29,013 --> 00:01:31,333
Speaker 4: were kind of around thirteen. They didn't jump on the

25
00:01:31,453 --> 00:01:34,013
Speaker 4: Instagram and things like that till they were thirteen, which is,

26
00:01:34,453 --> 00:01:37,613
Speaker 4: you know, the recommended time. But I tell you what

27
00:01:37,733 --> 00:01:39,973
Speaker 4: I've learned, and they've been really honest and open with

28
00:01:40,053 --> 00:01:43,813
Speaker 4: me about things. They find ways around things that parents

29
00:01:43,973 --> 00:01:47,093
Speaker 4: have no idea about. They use their mates phones, they

30
00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:49,853
Speaker 4: can check what their mates are doing and use their phones.

31
00:01:49,893 --> 00:01:52,293
Speaker 4: I mean, I just think it is about education. I've

32
00:01:52,333 --> 00:01:54,613
Speaker 4: got one kid who's right into it. I've got one

33
00:01:54,693 --> 00:01:58,613
Speaker 4: who does, who does not post, who hardly follows, who

34
00:01:58,653 --> 00:02:02,053
Speaker 4: knows how to use it for their benefit and to

35
00:02:02,173 --> 00:02:03,093
Speaker 4: add value.

36
00:02:02,773 --> 00:02:06,013
Speaker 3: To their life, and the rest of it completely ignores it.

37
00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:09,813
Speaker 3: A bar of it. So interesting. That's all about just

38
00:02:10,813 --> 00:02:14,413
Speaker 3: education and understanding what works for her and what doesn't.

39
00:02:14,173 --> 00:02:15,893
Speaker 4: And what's a good thing to be part of them

40
00:02:15,933 --> 00:02:20,133
Speaker 4: what isn't. And I you know, she's a smart little cookie.

41
00:02:20,253 --> 00:02:25,373
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, well I don't know this is all

42
00:02:25,413 --> 00:02:25,813
Speaker 3: from her.

43
00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:29,133
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but yeah, Look, I think I think there's

44
00:02:29,133 --> 00:02:31,893
Speaker 4: a really serious conversation to be had about what we

45
00:02:31,973 --> 00:02:34,133
Speaker 4: have allowed to become the norm.

46
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:36,613
Speaker 3: It's really hard to tell parents what to do.

47
00:02:36,653 --> 00:02:39,213
Speaker 4: Everyone's in different situations, dealing with different things and are

48
00:02:39,253 --> 00:02:41,613
Speaker 4: really busy. But at the end of the day, we

49
00:02:41,653 --> 00:02:43,853
Speaker 4: have to completely change our whole perception as to what

50
00:02:44,373 --> 00:02:47,493
Speaker 4: value we get from this digital world we live in,

51
00:02:47,693 --> 00:02:52,013
Speaker 4: and how to how to how to embrace it, what

52
00:02:52,053 --> 00:02:54,013
Speaker 4: it can bring to our lives and get rid of

53
00:02:54,013 --> 00:02:57,333
Speaker 4: the stuff that the negative stuff that doesn't contribute at

54
00:02:57,333 --> 00:02:58,013
Speaker 4: all to our lives.

55
00:02:58,053 --> 00:03:01,733
Speaker 2: So well said, Okay, well we're going to pivot away

56
00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:05,733
Speaker 2: from all that entertainment of another sort. Two different films

57
00:03:05,773 --> 00:03:07,893
Speaker 2: to discuss the morning, So let's start off with a

58
00:03:08,053 --> 00:03:10,133
Speaker 2: movie that's showing in cinemas at the moment. This is

59
00:03:10,413 --> 00:03:11,853
Speaker 2: Speak No Evil.

60
00:03:12,173 --> 00:03:13,293
Speaker 3: I want to pack up the current.

61
00:03:13,293 --> 00:03:15,773
Speaker 4: I want to leave right now.

62
00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:22,413
Speaker 3: You can call out there and be completely novel.

63
00:03:26,093 --> 00:03:32,893
Speaker 2: From pretending as formal since we can't here Dan bye

64
00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:37,293
Speaker 2: bye ba by us about.

65
00:03:37,453 --> 00:03:39,093
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what you would have packed up your

66
00:03:39,093 --> 00:03:41,453
Speaker 4: popcorn and left the theater because this is not a

67
00:03:41,493 --> 00:03:45,173
Speaker 4: relaxing film. You and I we've spoken about the psychological

68
00:03:45,213 --> 00:03:47,853
Speaker 4: horrors and horrors and things that really are not the

69
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:50,333
Speaker 4: most relaxing way to spend a couple of hoursand this

70
00:03:50,373 --> 00:03:53,013
Speaker 4: one really does nail it. It's a remake of the

71
00:03:53,213 --> 00:03:56,573
Speaker 4: Danish film that was actually released in twenty and twenty two.

72
00:03:57,013 --> 00:04:00,293
Speaker 4: The American version is it's a little bit safer. It's

73
00:04:00,453 --> 00:04:03,973
Speaker 4: a slightly less deflating film than the original. I don't

74
00:04:04,013 --> 00:04:05,733
Speaker 4: want to give too much away. I think if you've

75
00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:09,573
Speaker 4: probably seen the original, you don't need to see this film.

76
00:04:10,213 --> 00:04:13,613
Speaker 4: It is very similar, except the last act is quite different.

77
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:16,693
Speaker 4: But that is not to say that if you really

78
00:04:16,853 --> 00:04:20,613
Speaker 4: enjoy sort of an edge of your seat exhausting psychological horror,

79
00:04:20,613 --> 00:04:23,053
Speaker 4: you won't enjoy a sort of number. That's the intention.

80
00:04:23,173 --> 00:04:26,653
Speaker 4: It is to make you feel uncomfortable, to sort of

81
00:04:26,693 --> 00:04:31,093
Speaker 4: push these push societal conventions and sort of see where

82
00:04:31,093 --> 00:04:33,773
Speaker 4: we land and how you feel about how everything kind

83
00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:39,413
Speaker 4: of unfolds. And I mean, it is interesting this film

84
00:04:39,453 --> 00:04:43,733
Speaker 4: because there was a lot of talk about, you know,

85
00:04:45,253 --> 00:04:47,613
Speaker 4: not giving away too much about the story and the

86
00:04:47,613 --> 00:04:49,333
Speaker 4: plot and how things unfold.

87
00:04:49,853 --> 00:04:53,093
Speaker 3: Interestingly, though, I didn't think it was that clever.

88
00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:56,413
Speaker 4: I think you and I sitting in this theater would

89
00:04:56,453 --> 00:04:59,493
Speaker 4: potentially kind of go uh huh, I know what's going

90
00:04:59,493 --> 00:05:02,973
Speaker 4: on here, and be absolutely right, you've got these there's

91
00:05:03,013 --> 00:05:06,733
Speaker 4: two couples, You've got this posh London dwelling and American

92
00:05:06,813 --> 00:05:07,853
Speaker 4: couple Louise and Ben.

93
00:05:07,893 --> 00:05:10,693
Speaker 3: They meet this other couple from the West Country, Paddy

94
00:05:10,733 --> 00:05:12,693
Speaker 3: and Caarra. They're on a holiday in Tuscany.

95
00:05:12,733 --> 00:05:16,413
Speaker 4: When they both return home, Paddy and Kara, they invite

96
00:05:16,453 --> 00:05:18,893
Speaker 4: Louise and Ben to come and spend the weekend with

97
00:05:18,933 --> 00:05:20,613
Speaker 4: them in the country, and they're a bit like, well,

98
00:05:20,613 --> 00:05:23,053
Speaker 4: we don't really know these people, but they're having a

99
00:05:23,053 --> 00:05:24,813
Speaker 4: bit of a tough time at the moment, so they

100
00:05:24,853 --> 00:05:26,533
Speaker 4: decide that they'll head out and just sort of have

101
00:05:26,653 --> 00:05:30,373
Speaker 4: this little break and things. They take their twelve year

102
00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:33,213
Speaker 4: old daughter, Agnes to play with Paddy and Kara's son

103
00:05:33,293 --> 00:05:36,133
Speaker 4: and who has some speech issues, and they get there

104
00:05:36,253 --> 00:05:39,773
Speaker 4: and things sort of yeah, you're not quite sure whether

105
00:05:39,853 --> 00:05:42,453
Speaker 4: things are okay or not, And that's the whole intention

106
00:05:42,573 --> 00:05:43,093
Speaker 4: with this film.

107
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:43,733
Speaker 3: That's what it does.

108
00:05:43,973 --> 00:05:46,693
Speaker 4: It sort of teases you into thinking that maybe not

109
00:05:46,773 --> 00:05:48,813
Speaker 4: everything is as it seems, and then it reassures you

110
00:05:48,893 --> 00:05:50,853
Speaker 4: it is and you kind of go off on this journey.

111
00:05:51,053 --> 00:05:55,013
Speaker 4: James McAvoy is absolutely brilliant as Paddy. He is totally

112
00:05:55,013 --> 00:06:00,133
Speaker 4: committed and terrifying and wonderful. And Mackenzie Davis, who plays Louise.

113
00:06:00,253 --> 00:06:03,693
Speaker 3: Also she fights back beautifully as well.

114
00:06:04,333 --> 00:06:07,133
Speaker 2: Nice. Okay, Yeah, it sounds like something that I'm not

115
00:06:07,173 --> 00:06:11,013
Speaker 2: going to go to, honest, No, but it does. It

116
00:06:11,013 --> 00:06:13,733
Speaker 2: sounds interesting, nonetheless, and I'm sure there will be some

117
00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:16,653
Speaker 2: fans out there, so let's speak no evil. That's in cinemas,

118
00:06:18,013 --> 00:06:21,133
Speaker 2: available on streaming services to buy or rent. Tell us

119
00:06:21,173 --> 00:06:21,973
Speaker 2: about Radical.

120
00:06:22,933 --> 00:06:26,413
Speaker 4: Yes, the Radical is at cinemas. It is a real

121
00:06:26,533 --> 00:06:29,013
Speaker 4: crowd pleaser. It is a Mexican film. It's based on

122
00:06:29,053 --> 00:06:32,573
Speaker 4: a true story, and it's directed by a filmmaker called

123
00:06:32,653 --> 00:06:35,973
Speaker 4: Christopher Zala, and it is a story we've seen before.

124
00:06:36,133 --> 00:06:38,933
Speaker 4: It's a story of a teacher who empowers his students

125
00:06:38,973 --> 00:06:42,333
Speaker 4: through his unconventional teaching ways and the ways that he

126
00:06:42,453 --> 00:06:45,733
Speaker 4: manages to engage these children. It is worth saying though,

127
00:06:45,733 --> 00:06:48,053
Speaker 4: because the setting is quite unique. It's set in a

128
00:06:48,173 --> 00:06:55,053
Speaker 4: very violent, poor, gang infested part of Mexico. Helio Durbez

129
00:06:55,133 --> 00:06:58,573
Speaker 4: he plays our lead character, our teacher so here, and

130
00:06:58,733 --> 00:07:02,813
Speaker 4: he delivers a very heart without emotional performance. He is

131
00:07:02,853 --> 00:07:05,613
Speaker 4: a teacher who is at a point in his life

132
00:07:05,653 --> 00:07:08,373
Speaker 4: where he is deaf spirit to feel that his entire

133
00:07:08,493 --> 00:07:11,373
Speaker 4: career of teaching children hasn't been a waste of time

134
00:07:11,413 --> 00:07:12,373
Speaker 4: and he ends up in.

135
00:07:12,253 --> 00:07:15,453
Speaker 3: This very poor school. He has these children who they're

136
00:07:15,493 --> 00:07:16,213
Speaker 3: twelve years old.

137
00:07:16,293 --> 00:07:18,213
Speaker 4: One is about to leave because her mother is having

138
00:07:18,253 --> 00:07:20,973
Speaker 4: another baby and she will be responsible for looking after

139
00:07:21,013 --> 00:07:23,933
Speaker 4: the baby while the mother works. Another little boy in Nico,

140
00:07:24,893 --> 00:07:26,773
Speaker 4: his family is part of a gang and he has

141
00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:28,973
Speaker 4: no other option but to be brought into.

142
00:07:28,733 --> 00:07:31,013
Speaker 3: This world and he will be leaving school. And then

143
00:07:31,053 --> 00:07:34,933
Speaker 3: we have Palerma and she is probably.

144
00:07:34,573 --> 00:07:38,933
Speaker 4: The reason why this story went national in Mexico, and

145
00:07:38,973 --> 00:07:41,693
Speaker 4: that's because she lives in a dump site with her

146
00:07:41,733 --> 00:07:45,013
Speaker 4: father and they trawls through the rubbish dump to find

147
00:07:45,093 --> 00:07:46,693
Speaker 4: metal and things to recycle and.

148
00:07:46,653 --> 00:07:48,533
Speaker 3: Make money and try it in a living. She's a

149
00:07:48,573 --> 00:07:49,653
Speaker 3: mathematical genius.

150
00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:52,293
Speaker 4: So you've and that's the other reason to watch this

151
00:07:52,373 --> 00:07:55,853
Speaker 4: film is the director has got these amazing performances out

152
00:07:55,853 --> 00:07:56,733
Speaker 4: of this young cast.

153
00:07:57,053 --> 00:07:58,413
Speaker 3: So there's a mix of humor.

154
00:07:58,573 --> 00:08:02,173
Speaker 4: There are some devastating sort of heartbreaking moments, but you

155
00:08:02,213 --> 00:08:02,973
Speaker 4: will leave this.

156
00:08:02,933 --> 00:08:05,813
Speaker 3: Film utterly uplifted. It is a delight.

157
00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:09,333
Speaker 2: Okay, I think it's an easy choice for me this

158
00:08:09,373 --> 00:08:09,813
Speaker 2: week's friend.

159
