00:00:31,693 --> 00:00:35,093
Speaker 2: lost all of her songwriting notebooks last year. I don't

00:00:35,093 --> 00:00:37,933
Speaker 2: know how, but okay, maybe there was a fire.

Speaker 1: Was there a fire?

7
00:00:39,853 --> 00:00:43,973

00:00:44,173 --> 00:00:46,293
Speaker 2: that's bad Aim. Anyway, She's pulled a few tracks from

00:00:53,373 --> 00:00:55,573
Speaker 2: still asleep the better team one on the day. I agree.

00:00:56,053 --> 00:00:58,373
Speaker 2: Right home to catch up with Francesca Rudkid, our film reviewer,

Speaker 3: Good morning.

16
00:01:01,733 --> 00:01:03,973
Speaker 2: Let's begin with a movie showing and cinemas at the moment.

17
00:01:04,013 --> 00:01:05,573
Speaker 2: This is Splitsville.

18
00:01:06,493 --> 00:01:17,813
Speaker 3: Ky as that I'm unteathful, no one does does the

19
00:01:17,893 --> 00:01:19,173
Speaker 3: horse isn't that big as your.

20
00:01:20,693 --> 00:01:28,213
Speaker 2: We're open, we are not monogamous. Oh okay, little twist

21
00:01:28,253 --> 00:01:31,453
Speaker 2: there tell us about Splitsical, Francesca, Yes, So.

22
00:01:31,573 --> 00:01:33,253
Speaker 3: I felt like I needed a bit of a laugh

23
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:35,373
Speaker 3: this week, so I took myself off to my local

24
00:01:35,413 --> 00:01:37,853
Speaker 3: my little Lido and epsom and sat there with two

25
00:01:37,933 --> 00:01:41,613
Speaker 3: other people and I did have a really good laugh,

26
00:01:41,733 --> 00:01:45,533
Speaker 3: mostly at a couple of scenes involving goldfish Jack And

27
00:01:45,653 --> 00:01:47,773
Speaker 3: if you've seen splits bul you'll know what I'm talking about.

28
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:49,533
Speaker 3: And I know that sounds a bit odd, but it

29
00:01:49,613 --> 00:01:52,653
Speaker 3: was a real got the giggles, couldn't stop giggling, laugh

30
00:01:52,733 --> 00:01:54,733
Speaker 3: and I think we all need one of those. I

31
00:01:54,773 --> 00:01:57,573
Speaker 3: don't know whether you'll laugh at Splitsful or not. It'll

32
00:01:57,573 --> 00:01:59,773
Speaker 3: all depend on the mood you're in and whether you're

33
00:01:59,893 --> 00:02:02,213
Speaker 3: you're sort of open and available for a bit of

34
00:02:02,373 --> 00:02:04,973
Speaker 3: screwball comedy and a bit of fun, a bit of craziness.

35
00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:08,613
Speaker 3: I spoke about the recently, which is also on cinemas.

36
00:02:08,653 --> 00:02:10,693
Speaker 3: In cinemas at the moment, two people, you know, go

37
00:02:10,893 --> 00:02:12,493
Speaker 3: to hate each other and then they sort to beat

38
00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:16,693
Speaker 3: up with this toxic relationship. This too is an exploration

39
00:02:16,853 --> 00:02:20,133
Speaker 3: of marriage and relationships, but it's a bit more nutty,

40
00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:22,693
Speaker 3: it's a bit more bonkers, and it's from the two

41
00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:26,613
Speaker 3: guys who brought us another fabulous comedy recently called The Climb,

42
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:30,453
Speaker 3: Michael Angelo Covino and Carl Marvin. And they're going to

43
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:32,453
Speaker 3: getting a name for themselves as these two who are

44
00:02:32,453 --> 00:02:38,933
Speaker 3: writing these fabulous comedies, and Covino has directed this, and look,

45
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:41,653
Speaker 3: it's just it's just, it's a bit. It's a bit

46
00:02:41,733 --> 00:02:45,693
Speaker 3: of everything. There are sort of some quite sweet, sort

47
00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:50,533
Speaker 3: of almost you know, lovely moments. There's some outrageous fun,

48
00:02:50,773 --> 00:02:54,973
Speaker 3: there's some nudity and craziness. There's some physical comedy. There's

49
00:02:55,013 --> 00:02:59,533
Speaker 3: also a fight between these two characters which is absolutely hilarious.

50
00:02:59,573 --> 00:03:01,293
Speaker 3: It goes on and on on and leads to one

51
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:04,733
Speaker 3: of those goldfish scenes. So there's kind of a little

52
00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:07,013
Speaker 3: bit of everything. They throw it all at us. This

53
00:03:07,093 --> 00:03:09,093
Speaker 3: is kind of one of those films that you think, oh,

54
00:03:09,093 --> 00:03:12,493
Speaker 3: this is so refreshing. It hasn't like a studio, hasn't interfered.

55
00:03:12,573 --> 00:03:14,333
Speaker 3: May haven't put it in front of a test screening,

56
00:03:14,933 --> 00:03:17,493
Speaker 3: have told them to tidy it up and make it nice. Look,

57
00:03:17,573 --> 00:03:19,733
Speaker 3: some of it works, some of it doesn't. But it's

58
00:03:19,733 --> 00:03:23,133
Speaker 3: a story of this couple being married for fourteen months.

59
00:03:23,213 --> 00:03:25,213
Speaker 3: She suddenly says, actually, what am I doing? I don't

60
00:03:25,213 --> 00:03:26,973
Speaker 3: want to settle down. I want to go and have fun.

61
00:03:27,293 --> 00:03:30,173
Speaker 3: He pretends that that's absolutely fine, you go have fun,

62
00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:33,773
Speaker 3: and they're still sort of living together. He tells another

63
00:03:33,973 --> 00:03:36,653
Speaker 3: his best friends Paul and Judy, that this has happened,

64
00:03:36,653 --> 00:03:38,373
Speaker 3: and they go, look, you know, these things happen. We

65
00:03:38,413 --> 00:03:42,013
Speaker 3: have an open marriage, and then everything kind of their

66
00:03:42,053 --> 00:03:44,693
Speaker 3: relationships kind of intersect and everything kind of turns into

67
00:03:44,933 --> 00:03:47,453
Speaker 3: a little bit of chaos here. So, as I said,

68
00:03:47,533 --> 00:03:51,533
Speaker 3: it's they throw everything at you. Some of it works,

69
00:03:51,573 --> 00:03:53,813
Speaker 3: some of it doesn't. But one of the great things

70
00:03:53,813 --> 00:03:55,573
Speaker 3: that they did was they got to Coda Johnson to

71
00:03:55,573 --> 00:03:57,533
Speaker 3: come in and play Julie. And she is fantastic and

72
00:03:57,573 --> 00:04:00,653
Speaker 3: it's really good fun seeing her gist sort of with

73
00:04:00,733 --> 00:04:05,053
Speaker 3: a bit more lighter comedic material. She's absolutely fantastic in themselves.

74
00:04:05,093 --> 00:04:05,573
Speaker 3: So there we go.

75
00:04:05,653 --> 00:04:07,973
Speaker 2: I've got the last Yeah, very good. Now it sounds

76
00:04:08,013 --> 00:04:09,133
Speaker 2: like it sounds like a good be a bit of

77
00:04:09,133 --> 00:04:10,693
Speaker 2: fun as well, and I like the idea that it

78
00:04:10,733 --> 00:04:13,773
Speaker 2: hasn't been kind of overly produced by a studio that's

79
00:04:13,813 --> 00:04:15,933
Speaker 2: you know, test audiencing it too much and that kind

80
00:04:15,933 --> 00:04:19,093
Speaker 2: of thing. So that's Splitsville. That's showing in cinemas right now.

81
00:04:19,453 --> 00:04:22,773
Speaker 2: Our next film is screening on Disney Plus. This is swiped.

82
00:04:24,133 --> 00:04:25,813
Speaker 3: Young people don't date online.

83
00:04:26,013 --> 00:04:27,693
Speaker 1: If we raced through that stick.

84
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:30,653
Speaker 2: Ma suddenly we've got complete market share of on millennial dating.

85
00:04:30,653 --> 00:04:32,333
Speaker 3: And just give me six hundred bucks in a plane

86
00:04:32,333 --> 00:04:34,653
Speaker 3: ticket and I will come back with the next fortune

87
00:04:34,693 --> 00:04:39,093
Speaker 3: five hundred company with Tender. I'm swiping right, How do

88
00:04:39,173 --> 00:04:40,293
Speaker 3: I download it? I want to see this.

89
00:04:40,493 --> 00:04:43,293
Speaker 2: Oh okay, this is a little bit different. Tell us

90
00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:44,653
Speaker 2: about swipe Francisca.

91
00:04:44,853 --> 00:04:47,893
Speaker 3: So this is screening on Disney Plus, it's the unauthorized

92
00:04:47,893 --> 00:04:51,333
Speaker 3: biography of Whitney Wolf heard. Lily James plays her and

93
00:04:51,373 --> 00:04:53,853
Speaker 3: does a very good job of it. I think probably

94
00:04:53,853 --> 00:04:56,893
Speaker 3: the issue here is it is the unauthorized biography. So

95
00:04:56,933 --> 00:04:59,173
Speaker 3: Whitney Wolf Heard. She was a co founder of Tender.

96
00:04:59,573 --> 00:05:02,493
Speaker 3: She had a relationship with one of her co workers

97
00:05:02,573 --> 00:05:05,093
Speaker 3: that didn't work out so well. She leaves Tinder. She

98
00:05:05,173 --> 00:05:09,693
Speaker 3: goes on to mind to found the popular women's first

99
00:05:09,773 --> 00:05:14,173
Speaker 3: dating at Bumble. But she's also very kind of becomes

100
00:05:14,293 --> 00:05:17,053
Speaker 3: very well known because she took Tender to court for

101
00:05:17,453 --> 00:05:20,373
Speaker 3: or she sewed them for sexual harassment discrimination. So she's

102
00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:23,013
Speaker 3: kind of known for those sort of three things. But

103
00:05:23,093 --> 00:05:26,453
Speaker 3: she's under a massive NBA, so we you know, she

104
00:05:26,573 --> 00:05:29,573
Speaker 3: can't talk. She can't share her story. Now the can

105
00:05:29,613 --> 00:05:31,453
Speaker 3: a lot of other people who were around it, so

106
00:05:31,853 --> 00:05:33,973
Speaker 3: what they've kind of pulled toget. I think this is

107
00:05:34,013 --> 00:05:37,173
Speaker 3: a really interesting story. It's an interesting story of a

108
00:05:37,213 --> 00:05:40,493
Speaker 3: woman in a very male dominated industry, especially at a

109
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:44,333
Speaker 3: time when it was maybe quite loose, and you know

110
00:05:44,533 --> 00:05:48,653
Speaker 3: that that that environment sort of you know, has a

111
00:05:49,493 --> 00:05:53,893
Speaker 3: social reputation and often women sort of had to conform

112
00:05:54,013 --> 00:05:56,133
Speaker 3: to that culture. So I think there's a really interesting

113
00:05:56,173 --> 00:05:59,413
Speaker 3: story here. I think the problem is that they can't

114
00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:03,093
Speaker 3: really get to the bottom of what what drove herd

115
00:06:03,933 --> 00:06:07,933
Speaker 3: you know what, what her intent mentions were, the lessons

116
00:06:08,013 --> 00:06:12,613
Speaker 3: she learned. So yeah, it's interesting, it's fascinating. Lily James

117
00:06:12,813 --> 00:06:15,533
Speaker 3: is great, but I think unfortunately Dan Stevens appears I

118
00:06:15,573 --> 00:06:20,093
Speaker 3: did not recognize him for a moment. So yeah, it's

119
00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:23,373
Speaker 3: glossy and well put together. I just think unfortunately we

120
00:06:23,453 --> 00:06:27,133
Speaker 3: can't really get to the truth of the story. The gritedness,

121
00:06:27,293 --> 00:06:28,973
Speaker 3: you know what, would have made it a little bit

122
00:06:28,973 --> 00:06:30,053
Speaker 3: given a little bit more depth.

123
00:06:30,093 --> 00:06:33,373
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So that swiped that is showing on

124
00:06:33,413 --> 00:06:37,093
Speaker 2: Disney Plus, Splitsville is in cinemas. All of the dats
