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 --> 00:00:11,973
Speaker 1: from News Talk ZB.

3
00:00:12,973 --> 00:00:16,693
Speaker 2: Screen Time Time. Taraward is here with her three picks

4
00:00:16,733 --> 00:00:17,133
Speaker 2: for this week.

5
00:00:17,253 --> 00:00:19,213
Speaker 3: Yil does Tara Good morning.

6
00:00:19,373 --> 00:00:22,213
Speaker 2: Okay, let's begin with the show on TVNZ plus tell

7
00:00:22,253 --> 00:00:23,213
Speaker 2: us about poke Face.

8
00:00:24,093 --> 00:00:26,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, poker Face is back for a second season, and

9
00:00:26,773 --> 00:00:30,053
Speaker 3: this is a really fun, quirky crime thriller series. It

10
00:00:30,053 --> 00:00:34,573
Speaker 3: stars Natasha Leon. She plays an amateur sleuth called Charlie Kale,

11
00:00:34,613 --> 00:00:38,373
Speaker 3: and Charlie is not your typical TV detective. She works

12
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:40,613
Speaker 3: in a casino in Las Vegas, and she has this

13
00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:44,693
Speaker 3: unusual ability and that she can always tell when someone

14
00:00:44,773 --> 00:00:47,613
Speaker 3: is lying. And in season one, her best friend is

15
00:00:47,733 --> 00:00:51,173
Speaker 3: murdered and Charlie uses her special light detection skills to

16
00:00:51,253 --> 00:00:53,893
Speaker 3: work out who the murderer was. But when her own

17
00:00:53,933 --> 00:00:56,813
Speaker 3: life becomes in danger, she has to go on the run.

18
00:00:57,173 --> 00:00:59,813
Speaker 3: And so every episode of poker Face as its own

19
00:00:59,933 --> 00:01:02,613
Speaker 3: self contained murder mystery with different characters. It's one of

20
00:01:02,653 --> 00:01:06,173
Speaker 3: those case of the Week shows. And Charlie is continually

21
00:01:06,693 --> 00:01:10,053
Speaker 3: on the run across America trying to escape these crime bosses,

22
00:01:10,373 --> 00:01:13,253
Speaker 3: and she keeps stumbling over these very strange crimes that

23
00:01:13,333 --> 00:01:16,573
Speaker 3: only she can help to solve and so it's having

24
00:01:16,613 --> 00:01:19,813
Speaker 3: fun with that traditional crime thriller setup. It's got this

25
00:01:19,933 --> 00:01:25,133
Speaker 3: great retro seventies eighties feel to it. It's funny, it's stylish,

26
00:01:25,173 --> 00:01:28,013
Speaker 3: and because each episode has different characters, it means the

27
00:01:28,053 --> 00:01:30,933
Speaker 3: show can tap into this amazing list of guest stars

28
00:01:30,973 --> 00:01:35,053
Speaker 3: everyone in season two, from Melanie Lynsky to Cynthia Arrivo

29
00:01:34,893 --> 00:01:38,533
Speaker 3: to Steve Bruscemi. And I really like it because it's

30
00:01:38,573 --> 00:01:41,173
Speaker 3: a crime drama that doesn't take itself too seriously and

31
00:01:41,213 --> 00:01:43,853
Speaker 3: it's just something light and easy to put on and

32
00:01:43,893 --> 00:01:45,053
Speaker 3: just be entertained by.

33
00:01:45,013 --> 00:01:48,173
Speaker 2: Great Okay, that's poker Face Steven z Plus on Disney

34
00:01:48,173 --> 00:01:49,373
Speaker 2: Plus Suspect.

35
00:01:50,573 --> 00:01:53,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new four part British drama that's

36
00:01:53,253 --> 00:01:56,013
Speaker 3: just come to Disney Plus. It stars Russell Tovey and

37
00:01:56,053 --> 00:01:59,333
Speaker 3: Emily Mortimer and it's retelling the events around the death

38
00:01:59,413 --> 00:02:02,333
Speaker 3: of Jean Charles Minionziz in London back in July two

39
00:02:02,373 --> 00:02:05,293
Speaker 3: thousand and five. And John Charles was from Brazil. He

40
00:02:05,413 --> 00:02:08,133
Speaker 3: was working as an electrician in London when he was

41
00:02:08,253 --> 00:02:12,173
Speaker 3: mistaken by police as a terrorist and he was completely innocent,

42
00:02:12,293 --> 00:02:14,413
Speaker 3: but he was shot by police as he boarded the

43
00:02:14,413 --> 00:02:16,893
Speaker 3: Tube on his way to work, and this drama looks

44
00:02:16,933 --> 00:02:19,333
Speaker 3: at the events before and after the shooting, and it's

45
00:02:19,373 --> 00:02:22,813
Speaker 3: almost a drama of two different parts. The first half

46
00:02:22,853 --> 00:02:26,133
Speaker 3: covers the July terrorist attacks in London, the bombings on

47
00:02:26,173 --> 00:02:28,253
Speaker 3: the Tube, and the events that led up to the shooting,

48
00:02:28,293 --> 00:02:31,893
Speaker 3: and it really builds up that atmosphere of fear and

49
00:02:31,973 --> 00:02:34,933
Speaker 3: panic and chaos. And the last two episodes are about

50
00:02:34,973 --> 00:02:38,093
Speaker 3: the aftermath of the shooting and the police response, the

51
00:02:38,173 --> 00:02:40,453
Speaker 3: sort of the inquiries into the mistakes they made and

52
00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:43,373
Speaker 3: the misinformation, and it really holds the police accountable for

53
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:47,213
Speaker 3: what they did. And so that half the show felt

54
00:02:47,293 --> 00:02:49,373
Speaker 3: quite different and a lot more focused. And I think

55
00:02:49,413 --> 00:02:51,293
Speaker 3: this is covering a lot of ground to give the

56
00:02:51,293 --> 00:02:54,093
Speaker 3: whole picture. So it's not perfect. It's not always an

57
00:02:54,093 --> 00:02:56,653
Speaker 3: easy watch, but it is very compelling. I watched all

58
00:02:56,693 --> 00:03:00,053
Speaker 3: four episodes in one sitting yesterday. It's well acted and

59
00:03:00,093 --> 00:03:02,173
Speaker 3: it's one of those dramas that will shock you and

60
00:03:02,253 --> 00:03:04,053
Speaker 3: make you mad and sad all at once.

61
00:03:04,133 --> 00:03:07,373
Speaker 2: Oh nice, Colin. That's Suspect. That's on Knee plus on

62
00:03:07,453 --> 00:03:10,493
Speaker 2: Apple TV, plus another season of a show I love,

63
00:03:10,653 --> 00:03:11,453
Speaker 2: long Way Home.

64
00:03:12,533 --> 00:03:14,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, a new travel show with some Old Friends. This

65
00:03:14,973 --> 00:03:18,133
Speaker 3: is the latest travel documentary series from Scottish actor Ewan

66
00:03:18,173 --> 00:03:21,613
Speaker 3: McGregor and his best friend Charlie Boorman, who over the

67
00:03:21,653 --> 00:03:25,613
Speaker 3: past twenty years they've made several TV shows about riding

68
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:28,493
Speaker 3: motorbikes around the world together. It started with long Way

69
00:03:28,573 --> 00:03:31,133
Speaker 3: Round in two thousand and four, which was them riding

70
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:33,853
Speaker 3: from London to New York. There was long Way Down

71
00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:37,093
Speaker 3: which was going through Africa, and then most recently long

72
00:03:37,093 --> 00:03:39,773
Speaker 3: Way Up through South America. And this week we got

73
00:03:39,893 --> 00:03:42,173
Speaker 3: long Way Home, which is Ewan and Charlie jumping on

74
00:03:42,213 --> 00:03:46,133
Speaker 3: a couple of vintage motorbikes and riding through Europe. They

75
00:03:46,173 --> 00:03:49,773
Speaker 3: start in Scotland, are going right up through Scandinavia up

76
00:03:49,813 --> 00:03:51,893
Speaker 3: to the Arctic Circle and then back down through Europe.

77
00:03:51,893 --> 00:03:54,573
Speaker 3: It's about ten thousand miles all up, and this is

78
00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:58,213
Speaker 3: just a very mellow, soothing trip with two best mates

79
00:03:58,213 --> 00:04:00,973
Speaker 3: who are living their best lives on these old bikes.

80
00:04:01,333 --> 00:04:04,293
Speaker 3: They're a lot older and wiser than the first time

81
00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:07,493
Speaker 3: they did this, which gives them a different perspective on things.

82
00:04:07,613 --> 00:04:10,933
Speaker 3: And it's almost like a slow TV show. There's two episodes.

83
00:04:11,053 --> 00:04:13,573
Speaker 3: It's not in any hurry, and because it's an Apple Show.

84
00:04:13,733 --> 00:04:17,013
Speaker 3: You know, you've got these beautiful aerial shots of them

85
00:04:17,053 --> 00:04:19,853
Speaker 3: riding through Europe. It's just a gorgeous show to watch

86
00:04:19,933 --> 00:04:22,093
Speaker 3: and one just to kind of relax into. Yeah.

87
00:04:22,173 --> 00:04:24,973
Speaker 2: Nice, really looking forward to that, Thanks Tara. That's Long

88
00:04:25,013 --> 00:04:28,493
Speaker 2: Way Home. It's on Apple TV plus, Suspects on Disney
