1
00:00:07,910 --> 00:00:10,909
S1: Hey, I'm Osman Farooqui and this is The Drop, a

2
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:13,430
S1: weekly culture show from the Sydney Morning Herald and The

3
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:16,730
S1: Age where we dive into the world of pop culture

4
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:20,870
S1: and entertainment. I'm here with Thomas Mitchell and Mel Cambry.

5
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:22,340
S1: How you doing, gang? What's up?

6
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:24,950
S2: We're doing good. Uh, Thomas and I have spent the

7
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:28,520
S2: morning poring through a book that's just arrived at my desk,

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,690
S2: for which we sent you a few excerpts as well.

9
00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:34,320
S1: Yeah, this was weird. You refused to explain the context

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,160
S1: of this. You sent me some pages of what appeared

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,060
S1: to be people describing their sexual fantasies, and then underneath

12
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:45,870
S1: it was like their nationality, a a figure, which I

13
00:00:45,870 --> 00:00:50,070
S1: think is what their annual salary and their star sign.

14
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:54,430
S2: Yeah, yeah. So this is Gillian Anderson of television and

15
00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:58,240
S2: film fame has collected for a new book called Want

16
00:00:58,450 --> 00:01:01,180
S2: a Lot of Fantasies? It's a very thick book, and

17
00:01:01,180 --> 00:01:04,720
S2: I actually didn't even notice until Thomas pointed out that

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,260
S2: the cover of it had been personalized for me. So, um, yeah,

19
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:09,670
S2: we've had a lot of fun with that this morning.

20
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:12,160
S3: It has been. Yeah, I mean, it's of all the

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,680
S3: ways to write a book, collecting someone else's letters and

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,410
S3: putting them together, uh, is the easiest way to do it.

23
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:18,550
S3: So props to Gillian.

24
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:20,440
S1: So did she like, solicit? Did she do a call

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,310
S1: out or something?

26
00:01:21,310 --> 00:01:22,929
S3: I guess she set up like a Gmail, I don't know,

27
00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:25,120
S3: but like, she writes like an introduction and she puts

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,800
S3: her own fantasy in. But it's anonymous, so you don't

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,270
S3: know which one it is. But oh.

30
00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:29,560
S1: So her fantasy is in there, but you don't know

31
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:29,800
S1: which one.

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,380
S3: It is. Correct. But like, I mean, let's be honest.

33
00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:35,530
S3: Huge missed opp not calling this the sex files.

34
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:38,199
S2: Yeah I mean what true.

35
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:40,240
S3: Uh, but yeah. So she can do it all people.

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,430
S3: I mean, I guess since sex education, she's. And, you know,

37
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,690
S3: I don't know if you guys follow her on Instagram,

38
00:01:43,690 --> 00:01:46,330
S3: but she's very, like, you know, sex positive. So I'm

39
00:01:46,330 --> 00:01:47,319
S3: sure the book will do well.

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,660
S1: She loves books as well, right? She's always sharing books

41
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:50,200
S1: on her Instagram.

42
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,470
S2: True. I actually think erotica is making a comeback. I mean,

43
00:01:53,470 --> 00:01:57,340
S2: I haven't really thought this through, but I think, like,

44
00:01:57,340 --> 00:01:59,200
S2: you know, how there's been a very sex toy positive

45
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600
S2: movement of late and all the influencers talking about the

46
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,340
S2: sex toys and launching brands, and you don't need to

47
00:02:03,340 --> 00:02:06,620
S2: tell us twice. Yeah, I think I've seen a few

48
00:02:06,620 --> 00:02:10,400
S2: posts in Facebook groups and the like about women searching

49
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,760
S2: for erotic fiction to read purely for the purpose of.

50
00:02:13,970 --> 00:02:16,040
S1: Posts in Facebook groups. What sort of Facebook.

51
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,760
S4: Groups are you in?

52
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:19,700
S2: I am addicted to life. Uncut.

53
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:20,570
S1: Are you joking?

54
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:22,850
S4: I can't believe you're shouting out this podcast. Okay, no.

55
00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:23,090
S4: Are you.

56
00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:23,660
S1: Is this a joke?

57
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:25,280
S3: This is all the.

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,299
S4: Time I.

59
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:29,580
S2: Love. I'm addicted to the Facebook group because the voyeurism

60
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:31,530
S2: I get and the way that like these kind of

61
00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:36,960
S2: high falutin, feminist like feminist concepts play out in Facebook.

62
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,109
S2: The disputes, the discussions, the is it a red flag?

63
00:02:40,110 --> 00:02:43,410
S2: Are you being watched? It's incredible. I think it's such

64
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:45,120
S2: like it's social anthropology for me.

65
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,669
S1: Okay. I'm I'm, I'm I'm flummoxed. I'm flabbergasted. Right. I

66
00:02:50,669 --> 00:02:52,290
S1: do you listen to life uncut regular.

67
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:54,020
S2: No no no no, I'm just about you.

68
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:55,580
S1: Just. You just consume it through the Facebook.

69
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:59,450
S2: Yeah. I'm just about seeing people crowdsource information for their problems.

70
00:02:59,450 --> 00:03:01,280
S1: That's interesting. I mean, look, I think you're probably right

71
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,130
S1: about the yearning for erotica. We've discussed many times with

72
00:03:04,130 --> 00:03:07,580
S1: this podcast the crisis that young women are in, in

73
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:12,709
S1: society right now. It's a crisis. The flip side of that. Right?

74
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:13,160
S4: Yeah.

75
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,230
S2: So maybe, uh, maybe I'll write this piece, but maybe

76
00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:17,690
S2: want is kind of the outcome of that.

77
00:03:17,690 --> 00:03:19,550
S3: Well, I think that what we should really do, the

78
00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:22,340
S3: natural evolution of this chat is to obviously start a

79
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:25,370
S3: drop Facebook page, and then our fans can talk about

80
00:03:25,370 --> 00:03:28,340
S3: these things on the page and they can share their fantasies.

81
00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:29,180
S1: Yeah, etc., etc..

82
00:03:29,180 --> 00:03:31,639
S3: They can be anonymous or not anonymous, and I'll compile

83
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,590
S3: them and release it under the.

84
00:03:33,889 --> 00:03:35,210
S1: Profit off of their ideas.

85
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:36,920
S3: Obviously the book will be called The Sex Files. Now

86
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,970
S3: that I've trademarked that.

87
00:03:37,970 --> 00:03:38,630
S4: Perfect.

88
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,440
S1: Um, hey, did either of you guys make it to

89
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,410
S1: Charli Xcx's birthday party in LA over the weekend?

90
00:03:44,410 --> 00:03:46,720
S3: Yes, I did, I was actually, uh, so I was

91
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,110
S3: at Moorfield Bowling Club in Rockdale in Sydney's south. But

92
00:03:50,110 --> 00:03:53,230
S3: after that, I flew over the 14 hours to LA, uh,

93
00:03:53,230 --> 00:03:57,550
S3: and partied with Lorde and the rest of the Brat Pack. Uh,

94
00:03:57,550 --> 00:04:00,160
S3: it was great. It was loose. Um, and it was

95
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,470
S3: everything you imagined. Sadly, Mel couldn't make it.

96
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:05,610
S2: No, I'm kind of getting a bit intimidated by the

97
00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:07,440
S2: Brat Pack. Like they're starting to be a bit of

98
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,530
S2: an aura of cool girls. It. Girls, you're.

99
00:04:10,530 --> 00:04:14,010
S4: We're in the Taylor Swift. Sort of like girl gang. Yeah, yeah.

100
00:04:14,010 --> 00:04:16,979
S2: Which, I mean, obviously I love girl power, but, uh,

101
00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:19,470
S2: there's something I don't know. It's starting to make me

102
00:04:19,470 --> 00:04:21,810
S2: a bit intimidated, and I don't know, eh, I don't

103
00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:24,089
S2: think I would get the invite, but also, I don't

104
00:04:24,089 --> 00:04:27,150
S2: know if, if it's my kind of scene. Also, something

105
00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:31,680
S2: about them all playing Charli Xcx's songs all night is

106
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,450
S2: feels very odd to me.

107
00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:35,370
S1: Yeah, I wondered about this, actually. I had a friend

108
00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:37,530
S1: who went to this party and I didn't really clock

109
00:04:37,529 --> 00:04:40,469
S1: what was going on. They were posting Instagram videos and

110
00:04:40,470 --> 00:04:42,599
S1: I was like, oh, cool. Like Charlie's hanging out with

111
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,330
S1: Lorde or whatever and didn't really think too much about it.

112
00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:47,910
S1: I think it was maybe Friday or Saturday, our time.

113
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:49,350
S1: It wasn't paying a lot of attention, and then like

114
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:52,080
S1: the next day, it's the most viral videos ever. And

115
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,140
S1: I'm like, oh shit, I kind of missed a trick

116
00:04:54,140 --> 00:04:56,750
S1: on that one. Probably should have screen recorded it and

117
00:04:56,750 --> 00:04:59,330
S1: sent it around, but I think I found that also

118
00:04:59,330 --> 00:05:01,670
S1: a bit odd that this was sort of like, seem

119
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:03,770
S1: like this kind of intimate party with all of Charlie's

120
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:08,570
S1: cool friends, but was clearly designed to be consumed on

121
00:05:08,570 --> 00:05:11,870
S1: social media. My Intel is that there was like multiple

122
00:05:11,870 --> 00:05:14,930
S1: like layers to this party. There was this earlier in

123
00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:19,190
S1: the evening event with paparazzi and others at this bar in, uh, in,

124
00:05:19,190 --> 00:05:21,620
S1: in LA, I think near Los Feliz or Silverlake, something

125
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:24,290
S1: like that. Um, and that was all consumed. And then

126
00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:26,450
S1: it sort of kicked on into a more private sort

127
00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:29,599
S1: of situation, which wasn't just them singing their own songs,

128
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,029
S1: because even though it's kind of cute, I guess I

129
00:05:32,029 --> 00:05:35,150
S1: felt a bit weird to just be like, hey Billy,

130
00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:36,349
S1: let's sing our song together now.

131
00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:38,150
S3: And like, they were up on a little stage together,

132
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:39,650
S3: were they? And it just reminded me of that, you know,

133
00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:42,480
S3: like when you're younger and you would go clubbing and

134
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,790
S3: there'd always be like the hot people would be on

135
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:47,430
S3: the stage, and then the more ugly people would be

136
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:49,500
S3: down the bottom and they're kind of wanting to get

137
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:52,680
S3: up there. And it's like space is tight and you're

138
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,510
S3: waiting to see, like if there's a natural spot for

139
00:05:54,510 --> 00:05:56,489
S3: you to jump up. And sometimes, like the action of

140
00:05:56,490 --> 00:05:58,710
S3: getting from the ground to the stage is really awkward.

141
00:05:58,710 --> 00:06:00,900
S3: And then if the people on the stage are really attractive,

142
00:06:00,930 --> 00:06:02,640
S3: you're like, well, I can't get. That's exactly what it

143
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,210
S3: felt like. Yeah. Having been in that position before, Thomas.

144
00:06:05,210 --> 00:06:06,890
S1: You and I have actually been in this position together.

145
00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:07,910
S1: I don't know if you remember this. One of our

146
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:09,920
S1: Melbourne nights when you visited, we went to the old

147
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,140
S1: bar and there was little stage there, and there was like, damn,

148
00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:13,789
S1: we were jumping up there. We were the hottest. I

149
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:14,090
S1: was gonna.

150
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:14,779
S3: Say, yeah.

151
00:06:14,779 --> 00:06:15,380
S4: We should get.

152
00:06:15,470 --> 00:06:17,120
S2: Why did you want to be on the stage?

153
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,040
S3: That's just where the night led us. And.

154
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:22,880
S1: Um, before we get into the, uh, the guts of

155
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,620
S1: the episode, one thing I just wanted to mention briefly,

156
00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:27,020
S1: we've talked a fair bit on this podcast. We had

157
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:30,360
S1: a whole episode, in fact, about the crisis in Australian

158
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,750
S1: music and the lack of chart success a lot of

159
00:06:33,750 --> 00:06:36,900
S1: Australian acts were having. I just wanted to mention quickly

160
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:40,380
S1: in that realm, there's been a big win for Australian music.

161
00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:44,099
S1: In the past week. Lime Cordiale have actually scored the

162
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,720
S1: first Australian number one album on the Aria charts. This year.

163
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,660
S1: They're Sydney band. Their record is called enough of the

164
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:54,760
S1: Sweet Talk. It's actually the first number one Australian number

165
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,870
S1: one since Troye Sivan in October last year. It's a

166
00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:01,479
S1: good result for them, and it's a good sign that

167
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,260
S1: Australian music is still beating its heart somewhere. I got

168
00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:07,960
S1: to say, you know, no disrespect to the band, I'm

169
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,210
S1: not like a big Lime Cordiale fan, but I am

170
00:07:10,210 --> 00:07:12,940
S1: happy for them that this album went to number one.

171
00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:14,650
S1: It seems like they've put a lot of work into it.

172
00:07:14,650 --> 00:07:17,170
S1: They were doing a lot of live streams and events

173
00:07:17,180 --> 00:07:20,030
S1: and gigs, and I certainly was getting a lot of PR,

174
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:24,650
S1: marketing emails about this band. So everyone was working overtime. Um,

175
00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:27,740
S1: Aria is certainly celebrating it. I think they're very conscious

176
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:31,310
S1: of the criticism that the charts are under from people

177
00:07:31,310 --> 00:07:33,200
S1: like us, and they're like, look guys, we did it!

178
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,140
S1: Lime Cordiale went number one. Everything in Australian music is okay.

179
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:38,360
S1: I'm not sure I'm willing to say the crisis is over,

180
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,730
S1: but I think given that we talked about sort of

181
00:07:40,730 --> 00:07:43,140
S1: the atmosphere and some of the negatives, it was fair

182
00:07:43,140 --> 00:07:45,450
S1: to mention this little thing that happened as well.

183
00:07:45,450 --> 00:07:48,810
S2: Yeah, I would not have seen them going to number one,

184
00:07:48,810 --> 00:07:50,670
S2: but um, good on them. And they have, as you mentioned,

185
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:52,800
S2: I've seen like their social media campaign and the like

186
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,500
S2: has been pretty extensive. So I'm glad it's paid off.

187
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:59,250
S3: Yeah. With a little help from, uh, Stringer Bell. So getting.

188
00:07:59,400 --> 00:07:59,940
S3: That's true.

189
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:02,010
S1: Yeah. Idris Elba has collaborated with them.

190
00:08:02,010 --> 00:08:04,380
S3: Yeah. Yeah. It's very funny how Idris Elba just like,

191
00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:06,460
S3: does that. And we all just like, oh, what a

192
00:08:06,460 --> 00:08:07,570
S3: fun hobby for him.

193
00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:09,730
S1: It was a bit weird when he came. He was

194
00:08:09,730 --> 00:08:11,260
S1: living in Australia for a bit and then someone in

195
00:08:11,260 --> 00:08:14,290
S1: music Land was like, oh, he's collaborating with an Australian band.

196
00:08:14,290 --> 00:08:16,240
S1: You'll never believe who it is. And I'm like, well,

197
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,070
S1: this is a guy who's like been part of like

198
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:21,580
S1: the jungle house scene in the UK. And I was like,

199
00:08:21,580 --> 00:08:23,230
S1: you know, maybe. And they were like, oh, they're recording

200
00:08:23,230 --> 00:08:25,540
S1: in Western Sydney. I thought, maybe he's doing like some

201
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:27,940
S1: intros for a drill group. And they're like, no, it's

202
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:31,440
S1: a Lime Cordiale. I was like, okay, you're right, you're right.

203
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,010
S3: I didn't see it.

204
00:08:32,010 --> 00:08:34,920
S1: Coming, did not see that coming. Um, all right. Today

205
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,020
S1: on the show, we are in the middle of the

206
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:41,220
S1: biggest television event, comes around every four years. It is

207
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:44,730
S1: the Olympics. All three of us are big fans of sport.

208
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,880
S1: The Olympics in particular. We love the athleticism, the narratives,

209
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,960
S1: the heartache, even the nationalism that it evokes in three

210
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,300
S1: otherwise quite cynical people. I'm really excited to share our

211
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:59,290
S1: favorite moments and characters of the Paris Games so far.

212
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,560
S1: There's also back in the land of pop culture, been

213
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,949
S1: some very big blockbuster movies we haven't had the chance

214
00:09:05,950 --> 00:09:09,370
S1: to chat about yet. Two in particular Twisters and Deadpool

215
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:11,950
S1: and Wolverine. Are they any good? What do they tell

216
00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:16,089
S1: us about the state of cinema and culture? You'll find out. First, though,

217
00:09:16,090 --> 00:09:18,510
S1: I wanted to talk to you guys about some exciting

218
00:09:18,510 --> 00:09:21,839
S1: news in the land of television. So on Monday, the

219
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,229
S1: second season of House of the Dragon wrapped up. It's

220
00:09:25,230 --> 00:09:27,840
S1: a very, very, very popular show that none of us

221
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,320
S1: are watching, which seems like a problem considering the jobs

222
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,209
S1: that we do and what we talk about on this

223
00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:37,350
S1: podcast every week. But, um, more importantly, HBO on Monday

224
00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:41,760
S1: dropped a teaser trailer highlighting some of their next big shows,

225
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,079
S1: and a few of them got me very excited. I

226
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,120
S1: thought it'd be fun to whip through, get the folks

227
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,640
S1: hyped up for what is coming out on HBO over

228
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,970
S1: the next 12 months. First thing they dropped was yet

229
00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:53,850
S1: another kind of Game of Thrones related spin off. It's

230
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:56,280
S1: a show called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's

231
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,280
S1: apparently set in between the timelines of House of the

232
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,730
S1: Dragon and Game of Thrones. My guess is you guys

233
00:10:02,730 --> 00:10:04,560
S1: have no interest in this one either.

234
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,599
S3: Yeah, that definitely didn't get me, like, excited to become

235
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,100
S3: a Game of Thrones fan.

236
00:10:10,330 --> 00:10:13,960
S2: Yeah, probably. Probably not. First on my must watch list. No.

237
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:17,380
S1: We also saw some footage from the second season of

238
00:10:17,380 --> 00:10:19,960
S1: The Last of Us, which cleaned up at the Emmys

239
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,970
S1: in the drama category this year. I don't think we

240
00:10:21,970 --> 00:10:24,460
S1: talk much about this show. Are you guys into the

241
00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:25,840
S1: Last of Us stuff at all?

242
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,209
S3: Yeah, I really liked it. I also played the video

243
00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,950
S3: game and so like I was bedded in for it

244
00:10:30,950 --> 00:10:33,410
S3: and I thought actually in this like kind of sizzle

245
00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:35,780
S3: reel that HBO put out, The Last of Us got

246
00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:37,760
S3: the most love. I thought that obviously that's like where

247
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,460
S3: HBO is like hedging their bets. It's such a big,

248
00:10:40,460 --> 00:10:43,310
S3: you know, kind of like IP for them. Um, yeah,

249
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,530
S3: I thought it looked very good. A single tear going

250
00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:47,960
S3: down Pedro Pascal's face like, fucking sign me up.

251
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,060
S2: Yeah, I like The Last of Us. I thought it

252
00:10:50,059 --> 00:10:52,580
S2: lost its way a bit in in the first season,

253
00:10:52,580 --> 00:10:54,429
S2: but Pedro Pascal. I'm here for him.

254
00:10:54,429 --> 00:10:57,819
S1: And speaking of IP, there are a couple of big

255
00:10:57,820 --> 00:11:01,960
S1: IP spinoffs. There's the Penguin, which is the Batman related

256
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,870
S1: series starring Colin Farrell. I'm kind of in the back

257
00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:06,520
S1: for this one. I'm excited. Thomas, you and I were

258
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,700
S1: talking about these Matt Reeves Batman films, and Colin Farrell

259
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,100
S1: was in that, and they were really good. So the

260
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,250
S1: first one, The Batman with Robert Pattinson, was really good.

261
00:11:15,250 --> 00:11:17,050
S1: I'm excited for the Penguin. Yeah, I'm.

262
00:11:17,050 --> 00:11:20,660
S3: Super excited for that. That's a great character. And Colin

263
00:11:20,660 --> 00:11:23,390
S3: Farrell I love. I thought that like he didn't get

264
00:11:23,390 --> 00:11:26,240
S3: as much to do in the movie, I think. Is

265
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,160
S3: it John Turturro? He kind of stole that film?

266
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,170
S1: Yeah, that was kind of a lot of bad guys

267
00:11:30,170 --> 00:11:32,120
S1: in that movie. You didn't really get a sense of

268
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,550
S1: what the Penguin was going to be like in this universe.

269
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:36,890
S3: Yeah, but this has been flagged for ages and I'm like, super,

270
00:11:36,890 --> 00:11:40,370
S3: super keen for that. Um, and, you know, we love it.

271
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,710
S3: We love a bit of prosthetic.

272
00:11:41,860 --> 00:11:44,470
S1: Melanie vibes on Colin Farrell as the Penguin.

273
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:46,570
S2: Yeah I'm excited for this. I'll give it a crack.

274
00:11:49,450 --> 00:11:51,670
S4: So I mean, I guess he's been convincing, but.

275
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:54,550
S2: Excitement levels aren't super high. But you know, if done well,

276
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:55,449
S2: I'm open to it.

277
00:11:55,450 --> 00:11:57,610
S1: No, that's a lot. You're allowed. I bet your excitement

278
00:11:57,610 --> 00:12:02,050
S1: levels are off the chart for June Prophecy, the prequel

279
00:12:02,050 --> 00:12:05,560
S1: about the Bene Gesserit sisterhood in the June universe. Come on,

280
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,309
S1: let's go!

281
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:08,950
S3: The trailer was only a minute 30, and I fast

282
00:12:08,950 --> 00:12:10,000
S3: forwarded through that bit.

283
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,400
S2: How much more Dune do you want, Osman?

284
00:12:12,429 --> 00:12:15,189
S1: No, I'm not really that excited about this. That they

285
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:17,110
S1: actually released a trailer, I think, a few months ago,

286
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:19,870
S1: and it didn't really work. Like the Dune films are

287
00:12:19,870 --> 00:12:21,849
S1: great because Denis Villeneuve.

288
00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:24,760
S2: We'll come back in five minutes.

289
00:12:25,929 --> 00:12:26,800
S1: What happened?

290
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:30,439
S4: Just. I could hear you. I could feel you jigging

291
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,000
S4: up for a June chat.

292
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,760
S1: The June films are good because Danny Villeneuve knows how

293
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,670
S1: to make great movies, and there are some great stars

294
00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:40,340
S1: in them. When you remove both of those things and

295
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:43,250
S1: it's just some sort of like, complicated sci fi storyline,

296
00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:45,650
S1: I don't feel that excited about it, but happy to

297
00:12:45,650 --> 00:12:46,189
S1: be proven wrong.

298
00:12:46,190 --> 00:12:47,179
S4: Hopefully it's good. Will there be.

299
00:12:47,179 --> 00:12:48,079
S2: Sandworms?

300
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,890
S1: That's a great question. Yeah. Does that make you more

301
00:12:51,890 --> 00:12:52,400
S1: or less excited?

302
00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:54,219
S2: They were like the highlight for me of the Dune film.

303
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:54,820
S4: As it.

304
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:56,709
S3: Would be like a bit of a mandalorian type thing

305
00:12:56,710 --> 00:13:00,700
S3: where like, you know, just ends up being a disappointing

306
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:02,800
S3: addition to the film world.

307
00:13:02,830 --> 00:13:05,710
S1: I think that's quite likely. I think that's quite likely. Yeah.

308
00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:07,930
S1: I mean, this is this era that HBO is in

309
00:13:07,929 --> 00:13:11,559
S1: with the Warner Brothers Discovery merger. Everything is being like

310
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:17,290
S1: mined for every potential prequel, sequel, behind the scenes TV

311
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:20,420
S1: thing you could do. I think that the lesson from

312
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:23,990
S1: all the Star Wars and Marvel shows is that has

313
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:26,360
S1: a pretty short shelf life. People aren't into it. It's

314
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,960
S1: sort of weird to see HBO getting into it. Uh, ultimately,

315
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,090
S1: I just hope that things that are being made are good.

316
00:13:32,330 --> 00:13:35,900
S1: I hope they're good. I remain skeptical about Dune prophecy,

317
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:39,439
S1: but one that I think you guys will be very

318
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,420
S1: excited about. We got our first glimpse of the White

319
00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:46,469
S1: Lotus Season three set in Thailand. They've been filming in Bangkok, Phuket,

320
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:49,440
S1: Koh Samui. What is the hype meter like for you

321
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,910
S1: guys on White Lotus Season three?

322
00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:51,780
S2: Now we're talking.

323
00:13:51,780 --> 00:13:54,420
S3: The hype meter is high. But like I mean glimpse

324
00:13:54,420 --> 00:13:56,100
S3: really is exactly. Yeah.

325
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,950
S1: It's like it's like it's like the the length of

326
00:13:58,950 --> 00:14:02,729
S1: it is the gap between the two runners in the

327
00:14:02,730 --> 00:14:04,440
S1: 100 meter sprint. Yeah. It's very short.

328
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,010
S3: Exactly.

329
00:14:05,020 --> 00:14:06,670
S1: Exactly like that. You like how I linked all those.

330
00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:07,900
S3: Things I did? I was going to tell you up

331
00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:09,760
S3: with one, but now you sort it yourself. But yeah, like,

332
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,229
S3: it was very it was like, you know, a long

333
00:14:11,230 --> 00:14:13,990
S3: shot of, like a pool in Thailand and someone being like,

334
00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:17,530
S3: what happens in Thailand stays in Thailand. And we saw, um,

335
00:14:17,530 --> 00:14:18,970
S3: Natasha Rothwell's character.

336
00:14:18,970 --> 00:14:21,460
S4: That's a big reveal that we knew that. Oh. Did we? Yeah, we.

337
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:22,030
S3: Did know that.

338
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,490
S4: It's a big reveal for you. For you? Yeah. Mel was.

339
00:14:24,490 --> 00:14:27,610
S3: Shocked. Um, yeah, I think, I don't know, I like

340
00:14:27,610 --> 00:14:30,110
S3: I'm starting to feel a little bit nervous about White

341
00:14:30,110 --> 00:14:34,040
S3: Lotus Season three based on nothing other than just like

342
00:14:34,130 --> 00:14:36,440
S3: it's really going to be a long time by the

343
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,510
S3: time it arrives, by the time we check into The

344
00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:42,290
S3: White Lotus once more. And I don't know, like, the

345
00:14:42,290 --> 00:14:45,020
S3: mix of casting doesn't get me as excited that we've

346
00:14:45,020 --> 00:14:49,700
S3: got Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Jason Isaacs, Walton

347
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:52,250
S3: Goggins is cool, but I don't know something about all

348
00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:55,950
S3: of the noise around it has made me apprehensive.

349
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,080
S1: I mean, we talked about this when we were talking

350
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,720
S1: about the bear. Season three. Season threes have this problem, right?

351
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:03,240
S1: Season one great show out of nowhere. Season two. You've

352
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240
S1: managed to live up to expectations. Season three can you

353
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,640
S1: do it again? It's tricky. I think there's there's a

354
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,830
S1: lot of space for The White Lotus to like let

355
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:15,600
S1: people down with the expectations on it. Uh, yeah. I'm hopeful.

356
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,420
S1: I think Mike white has proven his ability to, uh,

357
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:22,200
S1: write good and smart television. I'm more curious about, like,

358
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,140
S1: in the universe of The White Lotus. How are these

359
00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:27,720
S1: hotel chains still surviving? Like, are they not like people

360
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,740
S1: keep being massacred whenever they check in? Or is it

361
00:15:31,740 --> 00:15:33,870
S1: not a kind of royal commission into what is going

362
00:15:33,870 --> 00:15:35,490
S1: on with the White Lotus hotel chain?

363
00:15:35,490 --> 00:15:37,710
S3: That that could be season three, maybe it's all it's

364
00:15:37,710 --> 00:15:38,760
S3: going to be a courtroom drama.

365
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,590
S4: But I kind of like because.

366
00:15:40,650 --> 00:15:43,470
S2: I think when the second season finished, he spoke about

367
00:15:43,470 --> 00:15:46,170
S2: how that season was predominantly about sex. The first one

368
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:48,510
S2: was about money, and he thought this one was going

369
00:15:48,510 --> 00:15:51,150
S2: to be about eastern religion and spirituality, which I think

370
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:54,630
S2: is a pretty ripe area for for satire and exploration.

371
00:15:54,630 --> 00:15:56,400
S2: I think it looks great. There was a bit of

372
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,370
S2: my Thai or boxing in the clip. Did you notice that?

373
00:15:59,370 --> 00:16:01,440
S2: And then also I it looked very hot and I

374
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,780
S2: really like shows where like the heat rises and as

375
00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:07,940
S2: as the tension does as well. I know that's a

376
00:16:07,940 --> 00:16:09,740
S2: niche area, but, um. Yeah.

377
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:14,270
S1: Um, I'm lucky I got my Thailand trip in last

378
00:16:14,270 --> 00:16:18,020
S1: year because I feel like this is going to send the, uh,

379
00:16:18,020 --> 00:16:21,740
S1: interest in travelling to to Thailand off the charts. So

380
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:24,920
S1: strong recommend to get in before, uh, the show comes out,

381
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,220
S1: I think.

382
00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:25,430
S4: I mean, I.

383
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:27,620
S2: Think people have always gone to Thailand, haven't they?

384
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:29,420
S3: No, but there is a there is a white lotus effect.

385
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,020
S1: There's a white lotus effect. People have always gone to

386
00:16:31,020 --> 00:16:34,080
S1: Hawaii and Sicily, but there's like, you know, search interest

387
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,580
S1: and prices have increased astronomically after these shows are released.

388
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,980
S1: All right. Let's talk about the Olympics. I want to

389
00:16:40,980 --> 00:16:44,430
S1: talk about our favorite moments, the funniest things you've seen,

390
00:16:44,430 --> 00:16:48,390
S1: how you feel. These games are ranking amongst previous Olympiads.

391
00:16:48,390 --> 00:16:51,990
S1: But I want to ask first, how locked in are you? Like,

392
00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:54,840
S1: what is your viewing experience been like for the last

393
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,120
S1: couple of weeks? Are you watching every day? Are you

394
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,489
S1: just doing the highlights? Are you flicking through all the

395
00:16:59,490 --> 00:17:01,620
S1: different channels on stand? You know, on stand you can

396
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:05,040
S1: actually watch, like the broadcasts from different countries. You can

397
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,370
S1: watch how Indians and French people are watching it. What

398
00:17:08,369 --> 00:17:11,040
S1: are you guys doing? What's your Olympic consumption habit like?

399
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,350
S2: I it's all I'm watching at the moment. When I

400
00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:16,020
S2: come home, it goes on in the background. Um, and

401
00:17:16,020 --> 00:17:17,859
S2: then I'm putting on the highlights in the morning. The

402
00:17:17,859 --> 00:17:20,590
S2: timing is a bit hard. I'm like, I'm really struggling

403
00:17:20,590 --> 00:17:23,109
S2: with that. Can't kind of catch everything live. So you

404
00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:26,350
S2: kind of miss out on the excitement. But, um, yes,

405
00:17:26,350 --> 00:17:28,959
S2: I'm flipping between them all. I quite like going to

406
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,960
S2: the nine main broadcast as well, just to see what

407
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,140
S2: they're scattering through. But then if I'm particularly interested in something,

408
00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:38,530
S2: I'll head across to Stan and their all sports section.

409
00:17:38,530 --> 00:17:39,040
S4: Yeah, right.

410
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,200
S3: Is that because you get a lot of James Bracey

411
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:41,969
S3: on nine now.

412
00:17:41,970 --> 00:17:42,899
S4: Or he's.

413
00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:45,990
S2: A great broadcaster. It really steals the show.

414
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:46,620
S4: I would say.

415
00:17:46,619 --> 00:17:49,680
S3: I'm pretty locked in. Uh, it's also kind of coincides

416
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,419
S3: I think, with a pretty like it's not a lot

417
00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:53,729
S3: on TV right now. It's kind of good that you

418
00:17:53,730 --> 00:17:56,280
S3: can just watch the Olympics. And I'm mainly watching through

419
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,040
S3: the Stan app. It does make it hard. Like I,

420
00:17:59,430 --> 00:18:01,290
S3: I've talked about this before with you, I derive a

421
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:03,570
S3: lot of my enjoyment of like watching sport, watching it

422
00:18:03,570 --> 00:18:06,610
S3: live and having so much stuff on delay, or especially

423
00:18:06,609 --> 00:18:08,800
S3: like at our night time, you don't get heaps of

424
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,770
S3: like gold medal. Like the finals aren't often at that

425
00:18:11,770 --> 00:18:14,410
S3: time so early in Paris. So that's been kind of tricky.

426
00:18:14,410 --> 00:18:18,400
S3: But I think like it's it's still basically all I've

427
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,070
S3: been watching. And as is the case with most Olympics,

428
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:23,680
S3: I find myself like, you know, once the swimming is over,

429
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,290
S3: like really getting into the more niche sports like.

430
00:18:26,290 --> 00:18:27,159
S1: Yeah, yeah.

431
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,020
S3: So yeah, it's been very it's been the Olympic experience

432
00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:31,250
S3: I was after, I would say.

433
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:34,250
S1: Do you have a favorite kind of niche sport that

434
00:18:34,250 --> 00:18:36,409
S1: you've stumbled onto or that you're enjoying watching in the

435
00:18:36,410 --> 00:18:37,129
S1: late hours?

436
00:18:37,670 --> 00:18:40,040
S3: Yeah, we were talking about the three on three basketball.

437
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,840
S3: I think that's really odd to watch. And I've watched

438
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,189
S3: a lot of the pommel horse.

439
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:45,290
S4: Yeah, that was very the three on three.

440
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:47,000
S2: Basketball was very confusing to me, but.

441
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:47,540
S4: It's a wacky.

442
00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:49,700
S1: Sport. How is there real basketball. And then also this

443
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:50,659
S1: fake version of basketball.

444
00:18:50,660 --> 00:18:50,930
S4: And who.

445
00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:52,850
S2: Are they like? They're not NBA players I know, but.

446
00:18:52,970 --> 00:18:54,000
S3: And how do they get into it.

447
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:54,900
S4: Yeah exactly.

448
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:57,450
S1: Yeah. Yeah. Countries that like like the Netherlands is really

449
00:18:57,450 --> 00:18:59,730
S1: good in it. I've never seen like the Dutch be

450
00:18:59,730 --> 00:19:02,250
S1: involved in like the NBA or anything.

451
00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:02,790
S4: Yeah.

452
00:19:02,790 --> 00:19:07,290
S2: And I quite like I have got into the canoe slalom.

453
00:19:07,290 --> 00:19:08,820
S2: Thank you. Um clearly.

454
00:19:10,260 --> 00:19:10,590
S4: The Fox.

455
00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:13,320
S1: Sisters. You're into the Fox Sisters. Well, are they kayakers?

456
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,930
S2: I guess I'm into the one where the one that

457
00:19:15,930 --> 00:19:20,030
S2: Noemi or Naomi? Just one. I like the drop. Yeah,

458
00:19:20,030 --> 00:19:22,070
S2: I like the intensity where they kind of plummet out

459
00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:24,710
S2: of that thing down into the rapids. And actually, Thomas

460
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:26,330
S2: and I were talking this morning about whether I could

461
00:19:26,330 --> 00:19:28,939
S2: just take my canoe, which I don't have yet to

462
00:19:28,940 --> 00:19:31,850
S2: the regatta here and, like, have a crack at it. Yeah.

463
00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:36,350
S3: Well, we were told by our esteemed sports reporter, Vince Rugari,

464
00:19:36,350 --> 00:19:39,859
S3: that the Fox family, the mother is French. Um, and

465
00:19:39,859 --> 00:19:42,979
S3: they were about to move back to France in the

466
00:19:42,980 --> 00:19:45,409
S3: year 2000, and they decided to stay in Sydney because

467
00:19:45,410 --> 00:19:47,930
S3: the big centre was built in Penrith, and then they

468
00:19:47,930 --> 00:19:50,720
S3: obviously started training and then bang two Olympians into one family.

469
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,600
S1: And the mother is French. She was an Olympic canoer

470
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,750
S1: or kayaker for France and the dad was a British

471
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,659
S1: canoe or kayak, whichever one they do. Yeah. So the

472
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:00,350
S1: second generation.

473
00:20:00,350 --> 00:20:02,780
S3: Yeah, yeah. So I mean they basically couldn't lose. But yeah,

474
00:20:02,780 --> 00:20:05,300
S3: it's been very fun. Not a great like I mean

475
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:07,659
S3: in the last 24 hours, both the boomers and the

476
00:20:07,660 --> 00:20:11,980
S3: Greek national team lost in basketball. So I feel doubly devastated.

477
00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:14,710
S1: Yeah. That Greek lost to Germany was tough. Yeah. And

478
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:17,470
S1: I mean, like, again, when did Germans start playing basketball? Yeah,

479
00:20:17,470 --> 00:20:18,070
S1: but they're really good.

480
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:20,050
S3: They won the last world championship, apparently. Oh did.

481
00:20:20,050 --> 00:20:20,500
S1: They okay.

482
00:20:21,910 --> 00:20:23,320
S3: Yeah. They didn't come out of nowhere. But and the

483
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,199
S3: boomers obviously had a devastating loss to Serbia. It's like the.

484
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,820
S1: Worst named team in history.

485
00:20:28,180 --> 00:20:31,340
S3: The boomers I don't know the Jillaroos. The female Australian

486
00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:32,720
S3: rugby league team is pretty bad.

487
00:20:33,230 --> 00:20:34,250
S1: Yeah, it's not good though.

488
00:20:34,250 --> 00:20:37,100
S2: We have been talking because I am considering getting an

489
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:39,530
S2: Olympic rings tattoo and.

490
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:40,160
S4: Wow.

491
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:40,790
S1: Okay, this.

492
00:20:40,790 --> 00:20:41,600
S3: Is actually an Olympic.

493
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,920
S4: Fever. Not actually.

494
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,080
S1: The sweating. You're sweating out that Olympic fever.

495
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,840
S2: Yeah, but obviously then people would think I'm an athlete.

496
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,379
S2: And so.

497
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:49,010
S4: Because you only.

498
00:20:49,010 --> 00:20:50,540
S3: Get them if you've been at the Olympics.

499
00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:51,230
S4: It's actually it's not.

500
00:20:51,230 --> 00:20:51,859
S2: A rule.

501
00:20:51,980 --> 00:20:54,120
S3: No. But like that's what I'm in support of this

502
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,460
S3: decision because people you would really put people in two minds.

503
00:20:56,460 --> 00:20:58,439
S2: But then people would have to be like, what sport

504
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,520
S2: did you. Yeah.

505
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,119
S4: What sport do.

506
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,460
S1: You reckon people would assume you entered?

507
00:21:02,460 --> 00:21:03,179
S4: Well, if you.

508
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:05,850
S1: Had an Olympic ring, I've got an obvious answer to this.

509
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,520
S2: Thomas suggested that I could probably get away with skateboarding,

510
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,960
S2: which I don't really know.

511
00:21:10,350 --> 00:21:11,400
S1: That's ridiculous. I mean.

512
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,540
S3: Just physically, though.

513
00:21:12,990 --> 00:21:14,580
S1: Like, I was going to say equestrian.

514
00:21:14,609 --> 00:21:15,449
S4: Equestrian.

515
00:21:15,450 --> 00:21:18,280
S2: Really? Okay, okay. Midnight shadow or whatever. that or shadow.

516
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,410
S1: I've got a related question for you guys on this one.

517
00:21:20,410 --> 00:21:22,210
S1: I'm springing this one on you. So you've not been

518
00:21:22,210 --> 00:21:25,810
S1: prepared for this. If you had 12 months to prepare

519
00:21:25,810 --> 00:21:28,449
S1: to try to qualify for an Olympic sport, which one

520
00:21:28,450 --> 00:21:29,949
S1: do you think you'd have the best chance of making

521
00:21:29,950 --> 00:21:30,190
S1: it in?

522
00:21:30,190 --> 00:21:31,869
S3: I find it offensive that you say I'm not prepared

523
00:21:31,869 --> 00:21:33,550
S3: for this, as if I don't fucking have this conversation

524
00:21:33,550 --> 00:21:36,310
S3: with myself every single day. Um.

525
00:21:37,030 --> 00:21:37,720
S4: Well, look.

526
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,940
S3: There's a few answers I could give you. I think

527
00:21:39,940 --> 00:21:42,230
S3: I'm pretty close to being able to compete at football anyway,

528
00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:45,020
S3: so we'll take that off the table. Like for the olyroos.

529
00:21:45,020 --> 00:21:47,479
S1: Okay, so that, I mean, you're too old to.

530
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,100
S3: Be the only three overage players.

531
00:21:49,250 --> 00:21:49,970
S1: Okay.

532
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:50,449
S4: Please.

533
00:21:50,450 --> 00:21:52,130
S1: So you think you could be you think you're one

534
00:21:52,130 --> 00:21:55,100
S1: of the three best football players in Australia?

535
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:58,040
S3: I think it's I'm in the mix. I should I

536
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,229
S3: should be in the chat. No, I, I've had this

537
00:22:00,230 --> 00:22:02,780
S3: conversation a lot with people in the office. I reckon

538
00:22:02,780 --> 00:22:06,190
S3: that the best chance sport that most of us as

539
00:22:06,190 --> 00:22:09,400
S3: non-athletes could have, like in terms of what the skill

540
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,199
S3: level is and how quickly you could get to a

541
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,239
S3: level that you could probably at least, let's say the

542
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,580
S3: parameters are you can compete without making an absolute fool

543
00:22:15,580 --> 00:22:17,619
S3: of yourself. Beach volleyball, I think.

544
00:22:17,619 --> 00:22:19,930
S2: Yeah, Thomas has flagged this argument and I think it's

545
00:22:19,930 --> 00:22:21,850
S2: quite disrespectful to the sport of volleyball.

546
00:22:21,850 --> 00:22:23,380
S1: I agree. I mean, like firstly, you've got to have

547
00:22:23,380 --> 00:22:24,850
S1: great dexterity in the sand.

548
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,810
S4: You have to be very careful.

549
00:22:25,810 --> 00:22:27,969
S1: You've got to be great reactions. You've got to be tall.

550
00:22:27,970 --> 00:22:28,689
S1: You've got to know.

551
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:30,950
S3: Like if we accept that all answers are going to

552
00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:32,929
S3: be kind of disrespectful, like they're all going to be

553
00:22:32,930 --> 00:22:34,639
S3: really hard sports. I'm just saying I think that's the

554
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,740
S3: one that most that's fair. That's fair, normal people. And

555
00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:36,949
S3: if you.

556
00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:38,479
S1: Had 12 months to do it, you could probably get

557
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,230
S1: pretty good. Yeah.

558
00:22:39,230 --> 00:22:42,080
S3: Like because I mean like I couldn't get I couldn't

559
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,170
S3: run fucking ten flat in 12 months in 100m.

560
00:22:45,170 --> 00:22:46,910
S2: I reckon I'm 100% table tennis.

561
00:22:46,910 --> 00:22:49,040
S4: Like, no way. I'm absolutely getting.

562
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,530
S2: Into table tennis. I reckon I'd be top 100 in

563
00:22:51,530 --> 00:22:52,040
S2: the country.

564
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:52,670
S4: Have you watched?

565
00:22:52,970 --> 00:22:55,470
S2: I have a lot of it, and I think I

566
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:57,270
S2: have like. I think that's the sport for me.

567
00:22:57,270 --> 00:22:59,520
S3: I think if we're being serious, I reckon beach volleyball

568
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,659
S3: is actually a good answer.

569
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,000
S1: I've got a better one than both of you. It's

570
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,560
S1: sort of in the middle, in fact, of both of

571
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,420
S1: these sports. What do you get when you combine beach

572
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:08,760
S1: volleyball and table tennis? Badminton.

573
00:23:08,790 --> 00:23:09,690
S4: Oh, I love badminton.

574
00:23:09,690 --> 00:23:11,699
S2: Yeah, I considered that as my other like I.

575
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:13,560
S1: Like because I played a bit of badminton growing up

576
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,570
S1: and I really liked it. And also think about it,

577
00:23:15,570 --> 00:23:17,010
S1: you got to have a bit of stamina, but the

578
00:23:17,010 --> 00:23:19,580
S1: courts aren't that big. You're not going to get exhausted.

579
00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:22,010
S1: And it's kind of just like flicks of the wrist

580
00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:25,160
S1: and like leans in. It feels like if I just

581
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,170
S1: played badminton, if I took a year off work and

582
00:23:27,170 --> 00:23:29,389
S1: just played badminton every day, I would be in the

583
00:23:29,390 --> 00:23:31,040
S1: Olympics like I do think that would happen.

584
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:31,850
S4: I like that the racquet.

585
00:23:31,850 --> 00:23:33,470
S2: Is so light for badminton.

586
00:23:33,470 --> 00:23:34,100
S4: I think we're missing.

587
00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:35,689
S3: A very obvious thing here is if the three of

588
00:23:35,690 --> 00:23:37,400
S3: us took a year off, we could go in three

589
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,330
S3: on three basketball.

590
00:23:38,330 --> 00:23:40,640
S4: Wow, that would be good stuff.

591
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,580
S3: So like anyway there's like watch out la.

592
00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:48,800
S1: Um, and so where do you guys reckon. Look I

593
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,190
S1: think the obvious answer is the Sydney 2000 Olympics are

594
00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:53,450
S1: like the greatest Olympics of all time.

595
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:54,980
S3: Obviously. Athens 2004.

596
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,250
S1: Athens 96, 1896 was a good one. Um, how are

597
00:24:01,250 --> 00:24:04,130
S1: you guys finding the general vibe about Paris? We're talking

598
00:24:04,130 --> 00:24:06,420
S1: about the time zone. Like. I like you guys. It's

599
00:24:06,420 --> 00:24:07,739
S1: kind of all I'm watching. I kind of come home

600
00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:09,600
S1: from work and cook dinner and I'm like, oh, I'm

601
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,170
S1: doing a I'm doing a industry season two rewatch in

602
00:24:13,170 --> 00:24:15,240
S1: advance of season three, but that's just been put on

603
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,070
S1: the back burner. I'm just like, what is on right now?

604
00:24:17,070 --> 00:24:21,090
S1: I've been watching like the, the show jumping, the the

605
00:24:21,090 --> 00:24:24,240
S1: slalom stuff, the skateboarding. It's all so fun. And I'm like,

606
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,649
S1: it's only on for a few more days, so I

607
00:24:25,650 --> 00:24:28,440
S1: may as well just watch this. Time zones make it tough.

608
00:24:28,650 --> 00:24:31,580
S1: There's some amazing kind of stories and wins, but how

609
00:24:31,580 --> 00:24:35,810
S1: do you guys think the Paris Games compare to, you know, Tokyo,

610
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,810
S1: the Covid games? What do you feel the rankings are?

611
00:24:38,930 --> 00:24:43,430
S2: I think Paris is fantastic. Particularly Tokyo was very weird, um,

612
00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:46,340
S2: Olympic Games without much of an audience that any of

613
00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:48,859
S2: the events. Um, I like the vibe in Paris. I

614
00:24:48,859 --> 00:24:52,160
S2: love that they're making great use of the city, um,

615
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:54,600
S2: in all of their things, like the marathon's going right

616
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,430
S2: through it, the cycling, all of that.

617
00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:58,619
S1: They're all getting E coli from swimming in the sand.

618
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,070
S1: You know.

619
00:24:59,070 --> 00:25:01,170
S2: You gotta you gotta you gotta take your you gotta

620
00:25:01,170 --> 00:25:04,200
S2: take that, um, the like the volleyball is under the

621
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,410
S2: Eiffel Tower. Um, and I loved the Tour.

622
00:25:07,410 --> 00:25:09,810
S4: Eiffel, the Olympic.

623
00:25:09,810 --> 00:25:12,720
S2: Opening ceremony. I thought they did a great job. I

624
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,030
S2: thought that was very fun. I'm glad it wasn't in, like,

625
00:25:15,030 --> 00:25:15,990
S2: a stadium.

626
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,030
S1: Yeah, I like the use of, like, European electronic music. Yeah,

627
00:25:20,030 --> 00:25:22,580
S1: like just throw out there, just piping it in through

628
00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:25,040
S1: the stadium whenever there's athletic heats. That is a fun

629
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,420
S1: thing that they've done these games.

630
00:25:26,420 --> 00:25:28,820
S3: My parents in law are still talking about the opening

631
00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:31,729
S3: ceremony in the family WhatsApp, still up in absolutely up

632
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:32,420
S3: in arms.

633
00:25:32,540 --> 00:25:35,330
S1: Over over that. The thing with the guy that everyone

634
00:25:35,330 --> 00:25:36,950
S1: thought was a last Supper, right?

635
00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:38,060
S4: Yeah. And I was.

636
00:25:38,060 --> 00:25:39,859
S3: Like, why didn't we stop talking about like a week ago?

637
00:25:39,859 --> 00:25:41,780
S4: But how did they feel.

638
00:25:41,780 --> 00:25:44,359
S2: About the boats? Because people were very upset too, that the.

639
00:25:44,660 --> 00:25:46,460
S1: I also I didn't like the boats. Actually, I got

640
00:25:46,460 --> 00:25:47,090
S1: to say.

641
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,180
S3: I didn't mind that. I think generally like the Paris

642
00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:53,180
S3: Games has been pretty good. Uh, like I do think

643
00:25:53,180 --> 00:25:54,709
S3: it is, even though it's like, yeah, it's great to

644
00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:57,620
S3: have crowds and stuff. I in my opinion, Time Zone

645
00:25:57,619 --> 00:25:59,720
S3: does make a big difference. So we had like Beijing

646
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,210
S3: and Tokyo and they're like very friendly time zones. And

647
00:26:02,210 --> 00:26:04,850
S3: like I really I actually really enjoyed the Tokyo Games

648
00:26:04,850 --> 00:26:06,670
S3: because like obviously it was the weird Covid thing, but

649
00:26:06,670 --> 00:26:08,290
S3: it was good to have like a collective experience that

650
00:26:08,290 --> 00:26:10,090
S3: we could all, like, lock in on. And yeah, it

651
00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:12,460
S3: was good to be able to watch like actual finals

652
00:26:12,460 --> 00:26:15,670
S3: at good times with your friends and stuff. Whereas this like,

653
00:26:15,670 --> 00:26:17,770
S3: you know, it's like you're up really late or up

654
00:26:17,770 --> 00:26:19,959
S3: early in the morning, like watching, you know, the Stan

655
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,450
S3: recap of what happened. So I don't know, it's kind

656
00:26:22,450 --> 00:26:26,620
S3: of like it's felt like a, a funny games to me.

657
00:26:26,619 --> 00:26:28,690
S3: But I do think it's also as these things tend

658
00:26:28,690 --> 00:26:30,550
S3: to do anyway, it's produced a lot of great, like

659
00:26:30,730 --> 00:26:32,889
S3: I've enjoyed the content around the games outside of the

660
00:26:32,890 --> 00:26:33,760
S3: sport too.

661
00:26:34,090 --> 00:26:36,520
S1: Yeah, well, let's talk a little bit about that because

662
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,359
S1: there's been some, some athletes, some, some celebs who've made

663
00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:42,879
S1: their presence really felt at these games. The kind of

664
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,670
S1: chat out of the village is always really funny to me.

665
00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:47,890
S1: Apparently a whole bunch of athletes have just, like left

666
00:26:47,890 --> 00:26:50,710
S1: the village and are staying in their own accommodation. There

667
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:54,510
S1: is no air conditioning in the village, which seems crazy

668
00:26:54,510 --> 00:26:55,949
S1: like I know that we're all trying to save the

669
00:26:55,950 --> 00:26:58,139
S1: environment or whatever, but like you're doing the Olympic Games

670
00:26:58,140 --> 00:27:00,870
S1: like that's out the window, like thousands of athletes you're

671
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:03,540
S1: flying horses in from all over the world, like get,

672
00:27:03,540 --> 00:27:05,340
S1: get rid of any idea that this is going to

673
00:27:05,340 --> 00:27:09,510
S1: be sustainable and just let these athletes have aircon in

674
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:11,760
S1: summer in in Paris. That's crazy.

675
00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:14,700
S2: Are they in old. I actually haven't I'm not so

676
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:17,610
S2: across this scandal. But are they in old buildings. Is

677
00:27:17,619 --> 00:27:19,810
S2: that why that they're in kind of stately?

678
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:20,740
S4: I think they built it.

679
00:27:20,740 --> 00:27:24,129
S1: I just think they're trying to like, reduce energy use, essentially.

680
00:27:24,130 --> 00:27:25,780
S1: And some of the food, apparently they're running out of

681
00:27:25,780 --> 00:27:29,020
S1: like protein, which seems like a mistake because these are

682
00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:30,280
S1: athletes and that's basically all they eat.

683
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,950
S3: Yeah, but that someone had to like Cater Gina Rinehart's

684
00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:34,899
S3: crews for the gold medal winners. So that's where all

685
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:37,510
S3: the protein has gone. I find I found that a

686
00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:41,109
S3: very odd thing to do. Like, I, I don't know

687
00:27:41,109 --> 00:27:42,980
S3: for everyone that is there that didn't win a medal.

688
00:27:42,980 --> 00:27:45,170
S3: It's an Australian. Wouldn't you be like, fuck these guys

689
00:27:45,170 --> 00:27:45,650
S3: on the winners?

690
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:48,080
S1: I mean, yeah, Rinehart's involvement in Australian swimming is crazy.

691
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,930
S1: She's like basically owns it now. I think she's big time.

692
00:27:50,930 --> 00:27:55,040
S1: Sportswashing donated a lot and she, uh, has very strong

693
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,500
S1: views about how I think she wanted Dawn Fraser on

694
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:01,220
S1: the board. She really loves Dawn Fraser. Um, and yeah,

695
00:28:01,220 --> 00:28:02,870
S1: I agree, it's sort of odd to be like, I'm

696
00:28:02,869 --> 00:28:05,600
S1: going to take all the people who won on this cruise,

697
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,250
S1: the ones who lost, like, sorry, go eat your salads

698
00:28:08,250 --> 00:28:10,050
S1: in your hot Olympic village.

699
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,310
S3: As your salad wilts in front of you. Uh, I

700
00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:16,920
S3: think generally there has been some great storylines to come

701
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,760
S3: out of the games. Um, probably the most lovable figure

702
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,360
S3: is Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish 51 year old shooter who

703
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,390
S3: looks so much like a maths teacher of ours that

704
00:28:27,390 --> 00:28:30,440
S3: we had at school, Melanie Kembrey. Um, he's been amazing.

705
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,060
S3: Just like and like the fact that two, you know,

706
00:28:32,060 --> 00:28:34,939
S3: and then the South Korean Kim Ye-ji like the two.

707
00:28:34,970 --> 00:28:35,659
S4: Sort of cool.

708
00:28:35,660 --> 00:28:39,469
S3: Most popular stars are these kind of relaxed, casual shooters

709
00:28:39,470 --> 00:28:40,040
S3: I think is very.

710
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,130
S1: Funny. And that wasn't there. The, um, the Swedish guy

711
00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:45,860
S1: who won the poll vote, like, imitated the Turkish group.

712
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:46,130
S1: That was.

713
00:28:46,130 --> 00:28:49,250
S3: Cool. Did the shooting stance because it's just good when

714
00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:51,140
S3: like it's I mean, it's such an internet thing to

715
00:28:51,140 --> 00:28:53,180
S3: be like, we love this person who's just regular like us.

716
00:28:53,180 --> 00:28:54,500
S3: And now he won silver medal.

717
00:28:55,460 --> 00:28:58,610
S1: Oh, we got some categories that we're gonna talk about. Uh,

718
00:28:58,610 --> 00:29:00,260
S1: which is gonna be real fun to share some of

719
00:29:00,260 --> 00:29:03,380
S1: our highlights and favorite moments from these games so far.

720
00:29:03,380 --> 00:29:08,480
S1: First one, the obvious one. The best sporting moment to

721
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,060
S1: come out of these games. Mel, what did you choose?

722
00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:11,840
S4: Look, I.

723
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,410
S2: It was an early one, cross country mountain biking which

724
00:29:15,410 --> 00:29:16,070
S2: also I think.

725
00:29:16,070 --> 00:29:18,010
S4: I want to get into sport Have you really?

726
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:18,910
S1: Really impressive.

727
00:29:18,910 --> 00:29:19,900
S4: Yeah, yeah. I want to like.

728
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:21,670
S2: Go off those jumps. And down there was like this

729
00:29:21,670 --> 00:29:24,430
S2: rock fountain and amazing sport. I think I might get

730
00:29:24,430 --> 00:29:29,410
S2: into it. Um, English writer Tom Pidcock. Um, he was

731
00:29:29,410 --> 00:29:32,260
S2: about he was expected to win and was well in

732
00:29:32,260 --> 00:29:36,130
S2: front and then at, you know, maybe just before halfway through,

733
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,950
S2: he got a puncture in his wheel. And then there

734
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:42,080
S2: was a very kind of haphazard wheel changeover. It was

735
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,400
S2: 40s behind, um, which is quite significant. And then at

736
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,770
S2: the very end, he managed to kind of duck in

737
00:29:48,770 --> 00:29:53,150
S2: front of his, um, of of a Frenchman, Victor Koretzky,

738
00:29:53,150 --> 00:29:56,300
S2: and win. And I just thought it was he just

739
00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:59,090
S2: slow and steadied and made his way back and won

740
00:29:59,090 --> 00:29:59,570
S2: the day.

741
00:29:59,570 --> 00:30:01,219
S1: Great shot. And that was a great sport that you

742
00:30:01,220 --> 00:30:03,470
S1: just don't see other than the Olympics.

743
00:30:03,470 --> 00:30:06,180
S2: Yeah. Like I feel like they're often squirrelled away in

744
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:09,150
S2: kind of national parks. Like, I don't know any mountain bikers.

745
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,300
S4: Yet.

746
00:30:12,990 --> 00:30:16,410
S1: Um, Thomas, what's your favorite sporting moment so far?

747
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,280
S3: Um, my favorite sporting moment, I reckon, is probably the

748
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,300
S3: 100 metre sprint. Um, obviously, you know, the world was watching,

749
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:28,080
S3: but I think because I watched sprint, the Netflix series, um, about.

750
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,820
S1: Yeah, a lot of people saying this, they got really

751
00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:31,150
S1: hyped because of that series. Yeah, it's.

752
00:30:31,150 --> 00:30:33,400
S3: Exactly the same. It's the drive to survive effect. Like

753
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,680
S3: you suddenly care about F1 results because you've watched the

754
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,870
S3: show and watching if you watch sprint like the second

755
00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:40,390
S3: episode is dedicated to Noah Lyles, you get it's like

756
00:30:40,390 --> 00:30:42,700
S3: the full Noah Lyles show. He's so you know like

757
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:44,980
S3: such a showman talks the talk and all that. And

758
00:30:44,980 --> 00:30:47,380
S3: so like because I had watched all the journey of

759
00:30:47,380 --> 00:30:49,660
S3: him and the other guys getting to this race I

760
00:30:49,660 --> 00:30:51,160
S3: was like so locked in. And then of course like

761
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,860
S3: the insane finish that it was like the five one

762
00:30:53,860 --> 00:30:56,930
S3: 1/1000 of a second. And I feel like, you know,

763
00:30:56,930 --> 00:30:58,730
S3: that often happens in sprinting, like, and you hear it

764
00:30:58,730 --> 00:30:59,990
S3: and you're like, oh, cool. It's always going to be close.

765
00:30:59,990 --> 00:31:03,860
S3: But like really reading about, you know, like that, the

766
00:31:03,860 --> 00:31:06,650
S3: way in which the finish is calculated and how close

767
00:31:06,650 --> 00:31:08,990
S3: it really was, like the difference between him and the

768
00:31:08,990 --> 00:31:11,660
S3: guy from Jamaica. Like it was it was it was

769
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:15,170
S3: an amazing kind of end to that storyline. And, you know,

770
00:31:15,170 --> 00:31:16,280
S3: that's the big race. I think that a lot of

771
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,330
S3: people always watch, like the male 100m and the female

772
00:31:18,330 --> 00:31:20,970
S3: hundred metres sprint and like both delivered like pretty great

773
00:31:20,970 --> 00:31:22,260
S3: ends to the story. Can I have.

774
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:23,970
S2: A hot take out of the athletics? But now I've

775
00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:26,880
S2: also seen it in bouldering. In swimming, the false start

776
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,250
S2: rules I think are cruel.

777
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,170
S1: They're brutal, and seeing so many athletes disqualified because they

778
00:31:34,170 --> 00:31:36,390
S1: just moved a little bit too early, and then they

779
00:31:36,390 --> 00:31:38,340
S1: give them the red card and they're out straight away.

780
00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:39,570
S1: It's quite heartbreaking. Yeah.

781
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,970
S3: Four years of your life and you're like, I flinched. And.

782
00:31:41,970 --> 00:31:44,130
S3: But I guess if everyone got one false start, that

783
00:31:44,130 --> 00:31:46,170
S3: would really fuck the race up because people would be.

784
00:31:46,170 --> 00:31:49,320
S2: Everyone else gets to go and repechage and like these guys,

785
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,390
S2: why don't they get a second chance?

786
00:31:51,570 --> 00:31:52,740
S1: Talk us through repechage.

787
00:31:52,770 --> 00:31:54,120
S3: That was a word I did not know about three

788
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:54,420
S3: weeks ago.

789
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,880
S2: My God, I think about it all the time. I mean,

790
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,320
S2: my understanding of it is essentially if you don't qualify

791
00:32:01,350 --> 00:32:03,450
S2: through your heat. And this is because certain heats are

792
00:32:03,450 --> 00:32:06,330
S2: faster than others, you get a second chance and then

793
00:32:06,330 --> 00:32:08,010
S2: if you win number one in that, you get to

794
00:32:08,010 --> 00:32:11,730
S2: go through to the quarterfinals. Um, otherwise it's based on time.

795
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:14,220
S2: But don't you think we should have a repechage in

796
00:32:14,220 --> 00:32:18,060
S2: more in more areas of life? Yeah, just a second. Yeah.

797
00:32:18,090 --> 00:32:20,370
S1: Like taking a mulligan, you know? Let's just do it again.

798
00:32:20,370 --> 00:32:24,180
S1: There was one funny, um, a US hurdler. Uh, Crittenden.

799
00:32:24,180 --> 00:32:26,070
S1: Freddie Crittenden, I think is his name who I was

800
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:29,400
S1: watching who just, like, slow walked the hurdles. He was

801
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,610
S1: doing these tiny little steps and I didn't understand what

802
00:32:31,730 --> 00:32:33,860
S1: what was going on. And then he basically was like, look,

803
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:35,780
S1: I wasn't feeling fit. I'm like, I may as well

804
00:32:35,780 --> 00:32:38,630
S1: just go with repechage, where I can be the fastest

805
00:32:38,630 --> 00:32:41,240
S1: among the losers. Then giving it all amongst all these people,

806
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,040
S1: I'm like, I don't know, that's the point of it.

807
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,900
S1: But respect for gaming the system.

808
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:45,469
S4: Yeah, but then he had.

809
00:32:45,470 --> 00:32:47,480
S2: To race twice rather than.

810
00:32:47,630 --> 00:32:49,280
S4: But he didn't really. He wasn't really racing the first time.

811
00:32:49,310 --> 00:32:51,260
S4: The first time. Yeah. I thought that was a bit rude.

812
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:54,230
S1: Um, my favorite sporting moment. This is a bit of

813
00:32:54,230 --> 00:32:58,670
S1: recency bias, but Orissa. True. The 14 year old, uh,

814
00:32:58,670 --> 00:33:02,060
S1: from Cairns who won gold for Australia in the skateboarding,

815
00:33:02,060 --> 00:33:05,720
S1: I was a bit skeptical of like skateboarding as a

816
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,080
S1: as a Olympic sport, but it's really fun to watch.

817
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,240
S1: I don't really understand why all the women are like

818
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,610
S1: 14 and all the men are 45. I don't know,

819
00:33:13,610 --> 00:33:15,950
S1: something to do with men. Maybe there's more of a

820
00:33:15,950 --> 00:33:19,200
S1: career in skateboarding, whereas women there isn't. Maybe. And so

821
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,700
S1: they have to get jobs and they have to tap

822
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:24,300
S1: out when they grow up. But it's very odd watching that.

823
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:26,880
S1: Huge difference. But the music is awesome. They just like

824
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,390
S1: blast hip hop and these kids do sick tricks. And

825
00:33:30,390 --> 00:33:32,280
S1: it makes me think of Tony Hawk, Pro Skater. I

826
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,740
S1: just keep expecting to see this number in the corner

827
00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:37,710
S1: go up as they are ollieing and grinding and stuff.

828
00:33:37,710 --> 00:33:39,240
S1: It's really fun. I'm really stoked for her.

829
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,400
S3: I just, I don't know, like I don't want to

830
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,630
S3: diss a gold medal winner, but like 14 is just

831
00:33:44,630 --> 00:33:46,640
S3: too young to be at the Olympics, I reckon.

832
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,210
S1: Like, well, she's she's become the youngest, uh, gold medalist

833
00:33:50,210 --> 00:33:53,540
S1: for Australia. But there was a 14 year old gold

834
00:33:53,540 --> 00:33:56,840
S1: medalist for Australia. She was part of Dawn Fraser's uh,

835
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,620
S1: relay team in like whenever 18 on Fraser. Yeah, yeah.

836
00:34:00,620 --> 00:34:02,660
S3: I think I don't know, it's just like, maybe there

837
00:34:02,660 --> 00:34:04,940
S3: should be a limit of 16, I reckon. Like, 14.

838
00:34:04,940 --> 00:34:07,200
S3: Just feels like a bit too young to be, like,

839
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,219
S3: competing at the Olympics.

840
00:34:08,219 --> 00:34:08,399
S4: What?

841
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,200
S2: Like what is your concern? Yeah. What are you worried about?

842
00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:13,170
S3: I don't know, like, it makes me feel bad about

843
00:34:13,170 --> 00:34:14,370
S3: what I was doing at 14.

844
00:34:14,370 --> 00:34:15,960
S4: Okay. Yeah. Which was playing.

845
00:34:15,989 --> 00:34:17,100
S3: Tony Hawk, basically.

846
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:17,580
S4: And like.

847
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,940
S3: Pausing different bits of American Pie, but like, I think

848
00:34:20,940 --> 00:34:24,779
S3: it just feels like it's it's just not. She's so

849
00:34:24,780 --> 00:34:27,750
S3: she is so young and like, she's got like so

850
00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:29,759
S3: many more Olympics ahead of her now. I don't know,

851
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,060
S3: it just seems like it's like.

852
00:34:31,060 --> 00:34:31,900
S2: A welfare thing.

853
00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:32,500
S3: Kind of.

854
00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:34,540
S1: It does feel weird that there is this one sport

855
00:34:34,540 --> 00:34:37,270
S1: which just children are competing, and it's like a Dickensian.

856
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:40,600
S1: Now to the skateboarding, where, like Hungary, 13 year olds

857
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,969
S1: will compete against each other in quite a dangerous event.

858
00:34:42,969 --> 00:34:44,650
S3: Yeah. And then and then, then you do have that

859
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,720
S3: weird thing where the men are really old and like,

860
00:34:46,930 --> 00:34:48,850
S3: I'm like, is this like a weird Drake in charge

861
00:34:48,850 --> 00:34:49,509
S3: at this point thing?

862
00:34:49,510 --> 00:34:53,920
S4: Like, what's going on? All right, let's.

863
00:34:53,930 --> 00:34:59,090
S1: Move on to our next category. Favorite. Best celeb moment. Thomas,

864
00:34:59,090 --> 00:34:59,719
S1: you can go first.

865
00:34:59,989 --> 00:35:03,320
S3: Um, yeah. There's been some good, good, like, star spotting,

866
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,080
S3: I think very much. I'm in favor of the flavor

867
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,890
S3: fave momentum. He's been basically at the women's water polo

868
00:35:09,890 --> 00:35:12,710
S3: supporting the US women's team. But he's got like he

869
00:35:12,739 --> 00:35:15,859
S3: he's just got big like supportive Aunt Energy. He's at

870
00:35:15,860 --> 00:35:18,180
S3: every game. Like I'm pretty sure he's taken oranges and

871
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:20,850
S3: stuff for halftime. Like he's just he's so it's not

872
00:35:20,850 --> 00:35:23,730
S3: like he's they're doing the like yeah, great photo op

873
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:25,080
S3: I'm here. You know like a lot of them are

874
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,450
S3: doing he's like at every game and like you know

875
00:35:27,450 --> 00:35:27,630
S3: do we.

876
00:35:27,630 --> 00:35:30,510
S1: Know why Flavor Flav is so I think he's like he.

877
00:35:30,510 --> 00:35:32,040
S3: Like basically I think he befriended one of them at

878
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,660
S3: the last Olympics. And then they were like, we don't

879
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:35,609
S3: have much money. And he's like kind of become he's

880
00:35:35,610 --> 00:35:37,290
S3: like brought money into the system for them.

881
00:35:37,290 --> 00:35:37,980
S4: He's like, he's like.

882
00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:39,360
S1: The Gina Rinehart of the US.

883
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,080
S3: Exactly. Yeah. And he's got a whole bunch of mining

884
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,870
S3: stuff and going on there. But yeah, like I thought,

885
00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:47,570
S3: that's really cool. Um, and, you know, Flavor Flav is

886
00:35:47,570 --> 00:35:49,940
S3: like a weird celebrity that still, he still got the

887
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:50,930
S3: big clock and stuff.

888
00:35:50,930 --> 00:35:51,620
S4: Does he still wear.

889
00:35:51,620 --> 00:35:52,130
S2: The clock out?

890
00:35:52,130 --> 00:35:53,840
S3: I think so, yeah. I mean, otherwise, how do people

891
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,560
S3: know who he is?

892
00:35:54,590 --> 00:35:54,890
S4: True.

893
00:35:56,570 --> 00:35:58,250
S3: It's great. What about you, Osman?

894
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,670
S1: Um. Well, mine is is one where it was just

895
00:36:01,670 --> 00:36:03,350
S1: a bit of a brief photo op, but it was

896
00:36:03,350 --> 00:36:06,050
S1: such a funny, uh, combo as Tom Cruise and Greta

897
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:09,790
S1: Gerwig watching Simone Biles at the Athletics. I think, um,

898
00:36:09,790 --> 00:36:12,370
S1: Christopher McQuarrie was there as well. The guy who's directing,

899
00:36:12,370 --> 00:36:15,490
S1: it's like McQuarrie and cruise just go around together. It's

900
00:36:15,489 --> 00:36:18,880
S1: like Mcquarrie's handler. They were together at the Taylor Swift concerts, like,

901
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,739
S1: all right, Tom, we can let you out in public,

902
00:36:20,739 --> 00:36:23,710
S1: but Mcquarrie's got to come with you. It's so funny.

903
00:36:23,710 --> 00:36:26,320
S3: That's a really weird relationship, I reckon.

904
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,150
S1: It's so funny. And, you know, it was great to

905
00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:31,900
S1: see all these stars just, like, get behind Simone Biles,

906
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:34,480
S1: who's amazing and killed it. It was it was really

907
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,140
S1: cool to see. Yeah.

908
00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:37,660
S2: She had a lot of celebrity supporters, like all the

909
00:36:37,660 --> 00:36:39,790
S2: American celebrities are just watching gymnastics.

910
00:36:40,030 --> 00:36:42,850
S3: She is very cool. Like like, obviously she's super famous

911
00:36:42,850 --> 00:36:44,620
S3: now and everyone knows how amazing she is. But like

912
00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:47,260
S3: to really come back from what was a pretty serious

913
00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:49,420
S3: case of like the what do they call it, the.

914
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:50,200
S4: Twisties.

915
00:36:50,410 --> 00:36:53,050
S3: In in Tokyo. Like, man, she came back and like

916
00:36:53,050 --> 00:36:54,040
S3: fucking crushed it.

917
00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:57,029
S1: It's incredible watching. It's like, how was with so much

918
00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:58,470
S1: of this stuff at the Olympics, right? It's like, how

919
00:36:58,469 --> 00:37:00,779
S1: do you do that? But something about the gymnastics in

920
00:37:00,780 --> 00:37:04,410
S1: particular is just it's extraordinary to make your body do that.

921
00:37:04,410 --> 00:37:06,660
S1: It's crazy. Um, Mel, your favorite celeb.

922
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:07,320
S4: Moment, surely.

923
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,740
S2: Snoop Dogg, I mean, he is the absolute hype person

924
00:37:10,739 --> 00:37:13,080
S2: that I think we need at every Olympics. Um, I

925
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,900
S2: think like, obviously he's had lots of great moments dancing

926
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,969
S2: with Simone Biles, kind of hanging out at the tennis

927
00:37:18,969 --> 00:37:21,969
S2: with Billie Jean King. He was mock fencing, wearing an

928
00:37:21,969 --> 00:37:26,170
S2: American flag mask. But definitely the highlight was the equestrian outfit.

929
00:37:26,170 --> 00:37:27,520
S2: Did you see him in Martha Stewart.

930
00:37:27,820 --> 00:37:28,420
S4: And him and.

931
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:30,279
S1: Martha Stewart? Yeah. Got got all fancy. Yeah.

932
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,110
S2: Yeah. Wearing these little. And then he even was like

933
00:37:32,110 --> 00:37:34,630
S2: he brought a carrot to feed the horse. Um, and

934
00:37:34,630 --> 00:37:37,210
S2: he said, like he was quoted saying, I'm interested in

935
00:37:37,210 --> 00:37:39,250
S2: the horses that dance. And I want to give them

936
00:37:39,250 --> 00:37:41,860
S2: some carrots and apples. Great, man. Yeah.

937
00:37:41,860 --> 00:37:42,700
S1: Yeah, absolutely.

938
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:44,410
S3: It's funny, he's over there as like, a special correspondent

939
00:37:44,410 --> 00:37:46,270
S3: for NBC. He kind of did it a little bit

940
00:37:46,270 --> 00:37:48,580
S3: at the last one, him and Kevin Hart. But like,

941
00:37:48,580 --> 00:37:50,770
S3: I was trying to think because he's been so popular

942
00:37:50,770 --> 00:37:53,710
S3: and the NBC president, he's over there in Paris and

943
00:37:53,710 --> 00:37:55,600
S3: was like, we're definitely, obviously going to run this back

944
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,330
S3: in LA. No brainer. Like, that's Snoop's hometown. But I'm like,

945
00:37:58,330 --> 00:38:00,910
S3: do we have who could have been our special correspondent

946
00:38:00,910 --> 00:38:02,500
S3: for nine? We didn't send anyone fun.

947
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,110
S4: Scotty. Cam it's very.

948
00:38:05,110 --> 00:38:07,560
S3: Good. Um, but, like, you know what I mean? Why

949
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,990
S3: don't we have someone over there, like a beloved cultural, like.

950
00:38:09,989 --> 00:38:13,020
S1: A fun pop cultural sort of person? You got, Marc.

951
00:38:13,020 --> 00:38:14,880
S1: We got, we got we got Tubby Taylor doing the

952
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,450
S1: the diving, which maybe people thought was that equivalent. Maybe

953
00:38:18,450 --> 00:38:20,910
S1: for a certain kind of man of a certain age,

954
00:38:20,910 --> 00:38:23,550
S1: it is. But who is the fun? You know why,

955
00:38:23,580 --> 00:38:25,980
S1: Lime Cordiale? Why aren't they over there commentating?

956
00:38:25,980 --> 00:38:27,540
S3: I'm not really sure who it could be.

957
00:38:27,570 --> 00:38:30,219
S2: Do you think, Snoop Dogg? Because don't we not allow

958
00:38:30,219 --> 00:38:32,050
S2: him into our country? Like, will he be able to

959
00:38:32,050 --> 00:38:32,860
S2: come for Brisbane?

960
00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:35,020
S1: I think we have previously banned him, but I think he's.

961
00:38:35,020 --> 00:38:35,859
S1: I think he's allowed in.

962
00:38:36,460 --> 00:38:37,720
S4: Yeah. Um.

963
00:38:38,290 --> 00:38:41,799
S1: Yeah. Who would we send if we're talking about famous

964
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,640
S1: actors or. I mean, like, you know, Sarah Snook's been

965
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,600
S1: in London doing Dorian. Like, it'd be fun to cross

966
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,460
S1: to her if she was in Paris. People love her.

967
00:38:51,460 --> 00:38:54,010
S3: No, you need someone that's, like, kind, like Snoop is

968
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:57,110
S3: good because everyone loves him. But he's kind of ridiculous.

969
00:38:57,110 --> 00:39:00,170
S3: Him specifically being at the Olympics is a bit ridiculous,

970
00:39:00,170 --> 00:39:01,940
S3: and that's that's a bit silly work. So you need

971
00:39:01,940 --> 00:39:05,660
S3: someone that's kind of like, universally loved, but also their

972
00:39:05,660 --> 00:39:08,990
S3: presence is kind of like jarring enough. Like, is that

973
00:39:08,989 --> 00:39:10,910
S3: who remember that Chef Hughie?

974
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,969
S4: Oh yeah. He's he's got a YouTube channel. Very good.

975
00:39:13,969 --> 00:39:15,410
S1: Yeah. Send Hughie to the Olympics.

976
00:39:15,410 --> 00:39:17,510
S3: Send Hughie to LA. Let's get him chatting to people

977
00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:19,470
S3: doing a cook up like he's kind of got the right.

978
00:39:19,469 --> 00:39:21,390
S1: Or in fact, in fact, just on this, I can

979
00:39:21,390 --> 00:39:24,210
S1: think of a number of like send po, you know.

980
00:39:24,210 --> 00:39:27,000
S3: Yeah, yeah. Po would be good. Actually. Po would be great.

981
00:39:27,060 --> 00:39:28,080
S3: Goodwin could probably do it.

982
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,340
S4: Yeah, or maybe like a classic.

983
00:39:29,340 --> 00:39:31,560
S2: From Home and Away, Irene. Or someone like that.

984
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:31,950
S4: Oh, yeah.

985
00:39:31,950 --> 00:39:34,589
S3: I mean, Ray Ma, I don't know if he's gonna make.

986
00:39:35,070 --> 00:39:35,130
S4: The.

987
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:36,360
S1: Wrong network, folks.

988
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,110
S4: Wrong network.

989
00:39:38,310 --> 00:39:41,370
S1: Let's just go through Nine's properties and see who works.

990
00:39:41,370 --> 00:39:43,480
S1: We should have declared. And in fact, we can declare

991
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,080
S1: it now that nine is the broadcast partner of the Olympics.

992
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,170
S1: It also owns Stan, and it also owns us. Um,

993
00:39:50,170 --> 00:39:52,240
S1: this is not a sponsored segment. We just love talking

994
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,910
S1: about the Olympics. But, uh, we should just mention that

995
00:39:54,910 --> 00:39:57,520
S1: all the things we've been talking about were on channel nine. Uh,

996
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,480
S1: the last category. We've got, uh, funniest moments. A lot

997
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:06,410
S1: to pick from in a very funny, uh, very funny

998
00:40:06,410 --> 00:40:08,390
S1: game so far. There's one. Um, I don't know what

999
00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:09,830
S1: you're going to choose, Thomas. I hope you're going to

1000
00:40:09,830 --> 00:40:12,650
S1: choose this one. If you don't, I'm going to have

1001
00:40:12,650 --> 00:40:14,570
S1: to give it an honorable mention. But what is your

1002
00:40:14,570 --> 00:40:16,490
S1: funniest moment of the game so far?

1003
00:40:16,489 --> 00:40:20,120
S3: Are you talking about the BD, the pole vaulting. Yeah, baby. Yeah, yeah.

1004
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,650
S3: Anthony Ammirati I mean, he's the game's biggest loser, isn't he?

1005
00:40:24,650 --> 00:40:28,250
S3: I guess, uh, look, this is a story that seems

1006
00:40:28,250 --> 00:40:32,250
S3: designed for the internet. Uh, he obviously was looking to.

1007
00:40:32,489 --> 00:40:34,350
S3: He was. I think he was jumping to qualify for

1008
00:40:34,350 --> 00:40:39,570
S3: the final Italian, uh, sorry, French pole vaulter. And he

1009
00:40:40,050 --> 00:40:43,620
S3: he went and did his jump. He ascended as the

1010
00:40:43,620 --> 00:40:47,310
S3: plan was, uh, he cleared. I mean, the top half

1011
00:40:47,310 --> 00:40:52,649
S3: of his body cleared the pole, uh, but sadly, his

1012
00:40:52,650 --> 00:40:56,210
S3: personal pole did not, and in slow motion for the

1013
00:40:56,210 --> 00:41:00,080
S3: entire world to see on repeat. He knocked the pole

1014
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,009
S3: down with his enormous bulge. Uh, yeah. It's been it's

1015
00:41:04,010 --> 00:41:06,529
S3: been like a pretty fucking funny story. Our colleagues over

1016
00:41:06,530 --> 00:41:08,750
S3: at pedestrian have gone to town on it. It's like,

1017
00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:12,230
S3: you know, they've probably written about 30 stories on it. Wow. Um,

1018
00:41:12,230 --> 00:41:13,759
S3: there's lots of, like, he's been, I think. I think

1019
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,150
S3: he's been offered $250,000 from OnlyFans to get his giant

1020
00:41:17,150 --> 00:41:19,140
S3: baguette out. That's a quote, by the way. Not me

1021
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:21,300
S3: saying it. Oh my God. Uh, yeah. I mean, look,

1022
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:23,670
S3: it's been it's been a very funny story and it's

1023
00:41:23,670 --> 00:41:25,830
S3: just the kind of Olympic moment that dreams are made of.

1024
00:41:25,860 --> 00:41:27,989
S1: Yeah, I feel I feel sorry for him not qualifying,

1025
00:41:27,989 --> 00:41:29,670
S1: but also, you know, he would have had a great

1026
00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:32,460
S1: time at the village that night. You know, it's like, hey, Anthony,

1027
00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:34,710
S1: did you, did you medal, did you get into the finals?

1028
00:41:34,710 --> 00:41:36,660
S1: And he's like, no. But do you want to do

1029
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:38,160
S1: you want to know why do you want to see why?

1030
00:41:38,190 --> 00:41:40,379
S1: Like he's got an obvious sort of set up there.

1031
00:41:40,380 --> 00:41:42,400
S2: I actually think this is set him up well for

1032
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,710
S2: the future. Like he's probably going to do better now

1033
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:46,719
S2: post Olympics than he would have, you know.

1034
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,759
S1: Yeah. If he just remembers to wear underwear, he should

1035
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,719
S1: do very well.

1036
00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:52,180
S3: No, but he wasn't going to win. So like, you

1037
00:41:52,180 --> 00:41:53,379
S3: may as well, you know. Yeah.

1038
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:55,960
S1: Yeah. You may as well emerge like as a character

1039
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,359
S1: out of this. Exactly. You know. Yeah. And speaking of

1040
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,370
S1: characters who've emerged, Mel.

1041
00:42:00,370 --> 00:42:00,640
S4: No.

1042
00:42:00,670 --> 00:42:01,360
S2: Mr. Pommel.

1043
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,290
S4: Horse. Yes.

1044
00:42:02,290 --> 00:42:03,100
S3: Steve and Nadia Rossi.

1045
00:42:03,130 --> 00:42:03,610
S4: Yes.

1046
00:42:03,610 --> 00:42:07,370
S2: The 25 year old American gymnast who has a very

1047
00:42:07,370 --> 00:42:10,340
S2: unique talent, the pommel horse. Um, a lot of the

1048
00:42:10,340 --> 00:42:13,730
S2: other gymnasts compete in all kinds of different things, the

1049
00:42:13,730 --> 00:42:17,120
S2: bars and the floor and whatnot. But he is just

1050
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,640
S2: the pommel horse. And there was this, like, amazing footage

1051
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,830
S2: of him just having a little nap because he had

1052
00:42:21,830 --> 00:42:25,310
S2: to wait hours before his event. And then also he

1053
00:42:25,310 --> 00:42:27,590
S2: kind of took his glasses off at the moment before

1054
00:42:27,590 --> 00:42:29,570
S2: he got on the pommel horse, took his glasses off.

1055
00:42:29,570 --> 00:42:32,340
S2: It was kind of a Clark Kent moment. Um, he

1056
00:42:32,340 --> 00:42:35,009
S2: just seems fun. He won two bronzes. He likes doing, um.

1057
00:42:35,010 --> 00:42:36,810
S2: He likes doing Rubik's Cubes.

1058
00:42:36,810 --> 00:42:39,480
S1: Yeah, I saw him doing the Rubik's Cube in between, like,

1059
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,430
S1: waiting for his thing. That was good. He's pretty good

1060
00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:43,049
S1: at it. He's like, oh, no, I screwed it up.

1061
00:42:43,050 --> 00:42:44,669
S1: And he did it. He still did it in like

1062
00:42:44,670 --> 00:42:45,990
S1: 13 seconds. Yeah, yeah.

1063
00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:47,310
S4: And he's like, he's like.

1064
00:42:47,310 --> 00:42:49,950
S3: Naturally cross-eyed and stuff. Like he's again, he's got that

1065
00:42:49,950 --> 00:42:52,470
S3: relatable energy that we like look for in the Olympics.

1066
00:42:52,469 --> 00:42:53,219
S3: It's like, okay, cool.

1067
00:42:53,219 --> 00:42:55,220
S1: I mean how good are the Olympics? Seriously? Like just

1068
00:42:55,219 --> 00:42:58,250
S1: thinking about so good, these weird characters, it's the best,

1069
00:42:58,250 --> 00:43:00,500
S1: it's the best and the whole world. Like we talk

1070
00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:02,690
S1: about this with television, right? We've talked about this so

1071
00:43:02,690 --> 00:43:05,030
S1: many times. What are we all watching together? What are

1072
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:07,550
S1: we talking about? What are we sharing memes about? What

1073
00:43:07,550 --> 00:43:09,410
S1: are we messaging each other about? What are we talking

1074
00:43:09,410 --> 00:43:11,239
S1: about at work, at the water cooler, in the coffee

1075
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,029
S1: line with random people on the tram? Nothing. But then

1076
00:43:14,030 --> 00:43:16,969
S1: the Olympics comes around every four years and we're all

1077
00:43:16,969 --> 00:43:21,270
S1: talking about pommel horse guy, pole vault, dick guy, you know,

1078
00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:24,450
S1: Tom Cruise and Snoop Dogg. It's so good. It feels

1079
00:43:24,450 --> 00:43:26,969
S1: like for the first time in so long, we're all

1080
00:43:26,969 --> 00:43:30,060
S1: in this together as human beings on this small, fragile planet.

1081
00:43:30,060 --> 00:43:31,680
S1: It's it's quite special. It is special.

1082
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,300
S3: And that's why I find it so weird. Like, last night,

1083
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:37,020
S3: I texted a friend of mine, uh, also second generation Greek,

1084
00:43:37,020 --> 00:43:38,790
S3: and I was like, are you watching the Greek basketball?

1085
00:43:38,790 --> 00:43:41,549
S3: And he was like, nah, I'm not watching the Olympics.

1086
00:43:41,550 --> 00:43:44,440
S3: And I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you, man? Like,

1087
00:43:44,590 --> 00:43:46,570
S3: I've already got some question marks about this friend of mine.

1088
00:43:46,570 --> 00:43:48,040
S3: He's got weird viewing habits.

1089
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:48,670
S1: Your friends are the.

1090
00:43:48,670 --> 00:43:51,280
S3: Worst, I know. But like, I was like, so you.

1091
00:43:51,430 --> 00:43:53,470
S3: And then I had to, like, double down. So I

1092
00:43:53,469 --> 00:43:55,420
S3: was like, so, have you been putting the Olympics on

1093
00:43:55,420 --> 00:43:58,450
S3: in the background? He's like, not really. Like I was like, oh,

1094
00:43:58,450 --> 00:43:59,980
S3: but why? And he's like, I don't know. Just like

1095
00:43:59,980 --> 00:44:01,090
S3: I was like, do you have Stan? He's like, yeah,

1096
00:44:01,090 --> 00:44:03,100
S3: I got Stan. But he's just like no interest. And

1097
00:44:03,100 --> 00:44:04,720
S3: I'm like, but then that's why I was like, am

1098
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,100
S3: I is are there people out there who really aren't

1099
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:08,960
S3: watching the Olympics? Cause I feel like in my life

1100
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,090
S3: and my echo chamber, most people are watching it.

1101
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,430
S1: Well, the emails we get from channel nine every day

1102
00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:15,620
S1: are like, you know, 400 million Australians have tuned in

1103
00:44:15,620 --> 00:44:17,450
S1: last night. So I think a lot of people are.

1104
00:44:17,450 --> 00:44:19,040
S1: I don't think we're the weird ones here. I think

1105
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,600
S1: a lot of people are watching. Okay.

1106
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:21,860
S3: Long live the Olympics.

1107
00:44:22,580 --> 00:44:25,730
S1: Um, my my funny moment. This is from really early on,

1108
00:44:25,730 --> 00:44:28,009
S1: and I think it's faded from a lot of people's minds.

1109
00:44:28,010 --> 00:44:30,080
S1: I think it was like just pre the game starting

1110
00:44:30,090 --> 00:44:34,470
S1: Canada was busted, their women's soccer team using drones to

1111
00:44:34,469 --> 00:44:36,810
S1: spy on New Zealand or they were up against in

1112
00:44:36,810 --> 00:44:39,420
S1: the group stages and they would dock like six points.

1113
00:44:39,420 --> 00:44:41,430
S1: So they were basically out of the competition straight away.

1114
00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:44,069
S1: And I'm like, that's such a crazy thing to do.

1115
00:44:44,340 --> 00:44:45,420
S1: You think you're going to get away with it?

1116
00:44:45,420 --> 00:44:47,160
S3: And also, shit is your team. If you need to

1117
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,680
S3: spy on New Zealand, like New Zealand, are not good.

1118
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,960
S1: New Zealand weren't favourites at all for that one, and

1119
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,759
S1: it was really funny because the New Zealand team spotted

1120
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,379
S1: like one drone and then when the Canadians apologised, their

1121
00:44:56,380 --> 00:44:58,870
S1: statement was like, we're sorry for all the drones that

1122
00:44:58,870 --> 00:45:00,850
S1: we've used to spy on you.

1123
00:45:00,969 --> 00:45:01,750
S4: Like what? How many.

1124
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,330
S1: Multiple drones? Um, all right. To round out our Olympics convo,

1125
00:45:07,330 --> 00:45:09,040
S1: I want to ask. There's a few days to go

1126
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,460
S1: before the closing ceremony. Anything you guys have your eyes on?

1127
00:45:12,460 --> 00:45:15,580
S1: Anything you're particularly excited to see in the. In the

1128
00:45:15,580 --> 00:45:17,620
S1: time we've got left to enjoy this special moment.

1129
00:45:17,620 --> 00:45:18,100
S4: I'm.

1130
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:21,090
S2: Looking forward to the marathon. I quite like sporting events

1131
00:45:21,090 --> 00:45:24,120
S2: that you can just put on for hours. Um, and

1132
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,580
S2: the commentary is kind of lulls you through it and

1133
00:45:26,580 --> 00:45:28,440
S2: there are highs and lows, so I'm really looking forward

1134
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,410
S2: to the marathon. Also the basketball. I've just been loving

1135
00:45:31,410 --> 00:45:35,010
S2: watching the US team. Like what an incredible team KD,

1136
00:45:35,010 --> 00:45:39,660
S2: Steph LeBron A.D um yeah I've every time I watch

1137
00:45:39,660 --> 00:45:40,680
S2: it it's so fun.

1138
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,069
S4: It's so good.

1139
00:45:41,070 --> 00:45:43,660
S3: Yeah it's got big like year 12 kids versus year

1140
00:45:43,660 --> 00:45:46,510
S3: seven kids energy with the kids, which are fucking like, yeah, it's.

1141
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:47,890
S1: Space Jam in real life.

1142
00:45:48,370 --> 00:45:51,100
S4: Basically is monsters I like.

1143
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,870
S3: It's been very rumored that the great Tom cruise will

1144
00:45:55,870 --> 00:45:58,540
S3: appear in the closing ceremony, so I feel like that's

1145
00:45:58,540 --> 00:46:00,969
S3: really like been in the back of my mind. I'm like, well,

1146
00:46:00,969 --> 00:46:02,860
S3: now I have to fucking stay up and watch it

1147
00:46:02,860 --> 00:46:04,600
S3: and see what he does. Like what?

1148
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,560
S1: He's gonna jump off the Eiffel Tower 100% Amazing.

1149
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,690
S3: He's gonna he's gonna like, there's going to be anthrax

1150
00:46:08,690 --> 00:46:10,310
S3: at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower or something. He's

1151
00:46:10,310 --> 00:46:12,080
S3: gonna have to jump off the top of it and, like,

1152
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,529
S3: snort it all up and spit it into Snoop Dog's mouth, who, like,

1153
00:46:15,530 --> 00:46:17,750
S3: then dive under the sand and then it'll explode or whatever.

1154
00:46:17,750 --> 00:46:19,910
S3: But yeah, I'm keen to see what they do. Obviously

1155
00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:22,819
S3: the opening ceremony was like very controversial and divisive, but yeah,

1156
00:46:22,820 --> 00:46:26,210
S3: I'm keen to see how they and maybe Snoop will

1157
00:46:26,210 --> 00:46:27,890
S3: be involved given they are handing it over to LA.

1158
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,720
S1: Yeah, well that's the rumour with the Tom cruise thing, right?

1159
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,280
S1: They always do this thing at the closing ceremony where

1160
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,460
S1: they sort of pass the baton on. And Tom cruise

1161
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:38,700
S1: could be that bridge between Paris and LA. He could

1162
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:41,760
S1: jump out of something in France like the Eiffel Tower

1163
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,280
S1: and land in LA. That could be really cool. And

1164
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,229
S1: I think if he does, I mean, the whole world

1165
00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:48,300
S1: is watching this. It's going to make the next Mission

1166
00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:51,000
S1: Impossible movie like the biggest film of all time. If

1167
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,850
S1: Tom cruise becomes this, like, Olympic hero as well.

1168
00:46:53,969 --> 00:46:56,170
S3: That should be we should start doing more tie ins

1169
00:46:56,170 --> 00:46:58,629
S3: like that. So then the next Mission Impossible movie is set,

1170
00:46:58,630 --> 00:47:01,750
S3: like during the Olympics in LA, because obviously this whole

1171
00:47:01,750 --> 00:47:04,090
S3: Olympics was just like a marketing ploy for Emily in Paris,

1172
00:47:04,090 --> 00:47:05,140
S3: which starts next week.

1173
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:06,969
S1: It does start like three days.

1174
00:47:06,969 --> 00:47:07,720
S4: After there was not.

1175
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,759
S2: Enough Lily Collins. Like, I don't think they took enough

1176
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,219
S2: advantage of her in this. Like she should have been

1177
00:47:12,219 --> 00:47:15,310
S2: courtside at everything wearing the ridiculous Emily outfits.

1178
00:47:15,310 --> 00:47:17,020
S3: I think it's because people know that she's like, it's

1179
00:47:17,020 --> 00:47:19,400
S3: not very cool That's my impression.

1180
00:47:19,430 --> 00:47:22,100
S1: I think also, so like Ariana Grande has been doing

1181
00:47:22,100 --> 00:47:23,900
S1: a lot of stuff. I think that's because Universal's got

1182
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:26,750
S1: wicked coming out and universal has NBC, which is the

1183
00:47:26,750 --> 00:47:30,379
S1: broadcast partner. Netflix is a bit on the outs, I guess,

1184
00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:34,130
S1: as not a streaming partner. Um, my thing I'm excited about.

1185
00:47:34,130 --> 00:47:39,710
S1: So Arshad Nadeem, Pakistani javelin thrower, he qualified this week

1186
00:47:39,710 --> 00:47:42,380
S1: to make it to the finals. He qualified third. Uh,

1187
00:47:42,380 --> 00:47:45,219
S1: He won gold for Pakistan at the Commonwealth Games a

1188
00:47:45,219 --> 00:47:48,640
S1: couple of years ago, was Pakistan's first gold since 1962.

1189
00:47:48,670 --> 00:47:51,610
S1: I think this is Pakistan's only chance to like medal

1190
00:47:51,610 --> 00:47:54,130
S1: left at these games. I'm really excited about this. He's

1191
00:47:54,130 --> 00:47:57,219
S1: he's in the finals for the javelin. 4:30 a.m. on Friday.

1192
00:47:57,219 --> 00:47:59,259
S1: I will get up. It'll be very exciting if he

1193
00:47:59,260 --> 00:48:01,150
S1: gets something. You know, the little country that could.

1194
00:48:01,150 --> 00:48:04,270
S3: That's very. That's exciting. Have they got any medals at

1195
00:48:04,270 --> 00:48:04,810
S3: all yet?

1196
00:48:04,989 --> 00:48:06,310
S1: No, no.

1197
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,049
S3: So they're below both the Fox Sisters on the medal.

1198
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,720
S1: Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Um, and look, the last

1199
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,430
S1: thing I thought we could do is just go through

1200
00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:15,320
S1: all 32 Olympic sports and rank them.

1201
00:48:15,350 --> 00:48:16,040
S4: Yeah. Perfect.

1202
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:16,580
S1: You ready to go?

1203
00:48:16,580 --> 00:48:18,680
S4: Okay, good. Um.

1204
00:48:21,110 --> 00:48:22,969
S3: So breaking one? Obviously.

1205
00:48:25,310 --> 00:48:27,950
S1: No, I we can leave out Olympic convo there. Yeah.

1206
00:48:28,070 --> 00:48:30,290
S3: Very good. Long live the Olympics.

1207
00:48:40,770 --> 00:48:43,590
S1: All right, so after a slow start to the year

1208
00:48:43,590 --> 00:48:45,810
S1: that had some parts of Hollywood kind of losing their

1209
00:48:45,810 --> 00:48:48,990
S1: minds that movies were over, no one wanted to see them.

1210
00:48:48,989 --> 00:48:52,320
S1: Movies are actually back team. In the past few weeks

1211
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,120
S1: there have been some big big releases. Turns out the

1212
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,839
S1: biggest film of the year is surprisingly Inside Out two.

1213
00:48:58,870 --> 00:49:03,310
S1: It's made 1.5 billion USD so far. That actually makes

1214
00:49:03,310 --> 00:49:07,000
S1: it the 10th highest grossing movie in history like of

1215
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,700
S1: all time. That's wild. Um, but we're not going to

1216
00:49:09,700 --> 00:49:11,470
S1: talk about Inside Out two. We're going to talk about

1217
00:49:11,469 --> 00:49:14,080
S1: two other big blockbuster films that have come out in

1218
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,290
S1: the last month, twisters and the latest installment from Marvel,

1219
00:49:17,290 --> 00:49:20,930
S1: Deadpool and Wolverine. Let's start with twisters, because the Deadpool

1220
00:49:20,930 --> 00:49:23,840
S1: convo may result in me having an aneurysm and being

1221
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,530
S1: unable to complete the podcast. So this is a remake

1222
00:49:27,530 --> 00:49:31,700
S1: of the 1996 disaster movie starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.

1223
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:35,120
S1: The new one stars man of the moment Glen Powell,

1224
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,229
S1: Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos. It's directed by Lee Isaac Chung.

1225
00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:42,200
S1: His big budget follow up to 2020s Minari, which got

1226
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,170
S1: a couple of Oscar nominations. The story follows clashing groups

1227
00:49:46,170 --> 00:49:50,790
S1: of storm chasers who are investigating a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma.

1228
00:49:50,820 --> 00:49:53,430
S1: You've got Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos as the kind

1229
00:49:53,430 --> 00:49:57,359
S1: of more scientific, methodical storm chasers. Glen Powell is this

1230
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,470
S1: cowboy YouTube streamer who's kind of clashing with their approach.

1231
00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:04,560
S1: There's also a subplot in there about dodgy real estate

1232
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,580
S1: agent who buys up land and takes advantage of the

1233
00:50:07,580 --> 00:50:10,790
S1: good working class folk of Oklahoma. My kind of salt

1234
00:50:10,790 --> 00:50:13,670
S1: of the earth people, Melanie, uh, who are being impacted

1235
00:50:13,670 --> 00:50:18,109
S1: by these tornadoes. But basically, basically, this is a big

1236
00:50:18,110 --> 00:50:22,520
S1: dumb disaster film, big budget, lots of fancy tornado effects,

1237
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,000
S1: lots of mayhem and destruction and some funny stuff as well.

1238
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,640
S1: I got to say, I had a good time with twisters.

1239
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,859
S1: This is a really fun in cinema experience. I thought

1240
00:50:31,860 --> 00:50:34,740
S1: the action was pretty thrilling. There was a lot of tension.

1241
00:50:34,739 --> 00:50:36,810
S1: The opening sequence does a really good job of setting

1242
00:50:36,810 --> 00:50:39,840
S1: up the stakes and making you, like, feel that stuff

1243
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,230
S1: matters in this otherwise kind of silly film. Um, there's

1244
00:50:43,230 --> 00:50:46,110
S1: some good performances I'm keen to talk about how you

1245
00:50:46,110 --> 00:50:48,600
S1: are feeling about Glen Powell at the moment. Thomas. Um,

1246
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,640
S1: and there's a bit of heart to the film as well.

1247
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,830
S1: And it had a really fun I don't want to

1248
00:50:52,830 --> 00:50:56,140
S1: give too much away, but like the climactic scene is

1249
00:50:56,140 --> 00:50:59,830
S1: in a cinema theater, which is really cool to be

1250
00:50:59,830 --> 00:51:02,110
S1: in a theater and kind of watch that experience happen.

1251
00:51:02,140 --> 00:51:03,879
S1: It was really fun. What more do you want from

1252
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,160
S1: a movie? I don't think much. What did you guys

1253
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,570
S1: think about twisters?

1254
00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:11,770
S4: Look. I'm sorry. Oh, no. Oh, no, we get it.

1255
00:51:11,770 --> 00:51:12,279
S4: You really like.

1256
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:13,180
S3: Glenn? Paul, bro.

1257
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,270
S2: It was just a bit too much weather for me, really.

1258
00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:20,450
S2: There has been too much leaves and dust and wind

1259
00:51:20,450 --> 00:51:25,009
S2: and chat about the weather, which famously I don't love doing. Um,

1260
00:51:25,010 --> 00:51:27,589
S2: I think like to me this felt like was this

1261
00:51:27,590 --> 00:51:31,670
S2: made in 1994? Like there was something very nostalgic about

1262
00:51:31,670 --> 00:51:32,960
S2: this which made me agree with that.

1263
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:33,650
S1: I think that's what made.

1264
00:51:33,650 --> 00:51:34,520
S4: It good for you.

1265
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,850
S2: And but for me, I know it was kind of. Yeah,

1266
00:51:37,850 --> 00:51:40,220
S2: I thought it was quite boring, really was how I

1267
00:51:40,219 --> 00:51:42,690
S2: would describe it. Quite boring. And I thought the casting

1268
00:51:42,690 --> 00:51:44,790
S2: was a bit odd. And mainly I was devastated that

1269
00:51:44,820 --> 00:51:47,880
S2: Lee Isaac Chung, who did Minari, which was this beautiful

1270
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,930
S2: family farm drama, has done this. It seemed like a weird, like,

1271
00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:53,550
S2: you know, it didn't quite seem like he was. I mean.

1272
00:51:53,550 --> 00:51:55,739
S1: This is also a family farm drama. There's a family

1273
00:51:55,739 --> 00:51:56,730
S1: farm that is.

1274
00:51:56,969 --> 00:51:57,299
S4: Key.

1275
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:58,170
S1: To the story.

1276
00:51:58,170 --> 00:51:59,100
S4: That's true.

1277
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,920
S2: Um, look, was it is it a good time? Sure.

1278
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,350
S2: I'd watch it when it hits the streamer and you're

1279
00:52:04,350 --> 00:52:06,240
S2: at home with nothing else to watch, and the Olympics

1280
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:07,960
S2: is over. But I don't know. I just found it

1281
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,020
S2: quite boring and predictable and just it hit all the

1282
00:52:11,020 --> 00:52:13,960
S2: kind of tropes of a disaster show, and I don't

1283
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,259
S2: think it did anything that particularly new and interesting. Um,

1284
00:52:17,260 --> 00:52:18,130
S2: so I'm.

1285
00:52:18,130 --> 00:52:19,000
S4: Sorry, I respect.

1286
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,370
S1: I respect your opinion on all things, Malin. I respect

1287
00:52:21,370 --> 00:52:23,740
S1: your opinion on this as well. But I think sometimes

1288
00:52:23,739 --> 00:52:26,439
S1: you've just got to evaluate something for what it is

1289
00:52:26,469 --> 00:52:28,899
S1: and what it's trying to do. Right? Like you saying

1290
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:31,530
S1: a bit too much, whether about a movie called twisters,

1291
00:52:31,530 --> 00:52:33,210
S1: I feel like is an unfair.

1292
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,290
S4: Criticism to make.

1293
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:36,570
S3: Yeah, that's probably fair. And, you know, I know, but.

1294
00:52:36,690 --> 00:52:39,899
S2: I think what that suggests is the heavy handedness of

1295
00:52:39,900 --> 00:52:40,890
S2: the show. That's what that.

1296
00:52:41,070 --> 00:52:43,200
S4: Movie called twisters about, about twister. Yeah.

1297
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,980
S2: It was heavy handed that a storm was brewing. Look, I.

1298
00:52:46,980 --> 00:52:49,170
S3: Like Jurassic Park. There's a lot of fucking dinosaurs in

1299
00:52:49,170 --> 00:52:49,529
S3: that movie.

1300
00:52:49,530 --> 00:52:50,880
S4: Yeah, we know they're there.

1301
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,670
S2: You don't have to tell us repeatedly that. Oh, a

1302
00:52:53,670 --> 00:52:54,850
S2: storm is brewing.

1303
00:52:55,060 --> 00:52:57,730
S3: I mean, look, I, as you know, love talking about

1304
00:52:57,730 --> 00:53:00,130
S3: the weather. You do whenever there's, like, even a I can.

1305
00:53:00,130 --> 00:53:01,810
S3: I've got a bit of a Daisy Edgar-Jones about me

1306
00:53:01,810 --> 00:53:04,330
S3: and that I can sniff rain a mile away.

1307
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:04,750
S1: Wow.

1308
00:53:04,780 --> 00:53:08,230
S3: Oh, wow. Um, I really like I enjoyed this. I

1309
00:53:08,230 --> 00:53:12,430
S3: think maybe if I'm translating males insane take on the film.

1310
00:53:12,670 --> 00:53:16,240
S3: It's getting very good reviews, and I think maybe the

1311
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,450
S3: reviews are like overselling really what it is, I enjoyed it,

1312
00:53:20,450 --> 00:53:23,660
S3: I didn't think it was like groundbreaking to me. It

1313
00:53:23,660 --> 00:53:25,160
S3: had a lot of like. And I even think this

1314
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,069
S3: is the case with Chung and especially Daisy Edgar-Jones. I'm like,

1315
00:53:28,070 --> 00:53:30,440
S3: have these guys signed like some three picture deals with

1316
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,510
S3: a big studio? And this is like they're both ticking

1317
00:53:32,510 --> 00:53:34,190
S3: off maybe the last one before they can go and

1318
00:53:34,190 --> 00:53:36,950
S3: do like something they want to do. I think it

1319
00:53:36,950 --> 00:53:38,750
S3: was a fun time. I mean, like Luke Combs wrote

1320
00:53:38,750 --> 00:53:41,180
S3: a song, Ain't No Love in Oklahoma, like this is

1321
00:53:41,180 --> 00:53:42,750
S3: this hits all the spots I needed it to hit.

1322
00:53:42,750 --> 00:53:44,250
S3: And I had a really fun time and. And I

1323
00:53:44,250 --> 00:53:46,080
S3: actually thought Anthony Ramos stole the film.

1324
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,640
S2: Well, yeah, I completely agree.

1325
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,919
S1: Yeah, he was great. I mean, Daisy Edgar-Jones, I don't,

1326
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,650
S1: I don't dislike her, but she has like she's a

1327
00:53:52,650 --> 00:53:54,930
S1: one note performer a lot of the time in these

1328
00:53:54,930 --> 00:53:57,510
S1: kind of big budget things. And she was not that great.

1329
00:53:57,510 --> 00:53:57,870
S4: In this film.

1330
00:53:57,870 --> 00:54:00,089
S2: She was not right for this film. Like, her acting

1331
00:54:00,090 --> 00:54:01,050
S2: style is so bad.

1332
00:54:01,050 --> 00:54:02,190
S4: She should have been Sydney Sweeney.

1333
00:54:02,190 --> 00:54:02,580
S5: Yeah.

1334
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,030
S3: But I mean, that's just worth chatting. We can revisit that.

1335
00:54:06,030 --> 00:54:09,010
S3: But you say she's one note. I'm sorry, Glen Powell. Firstly,

1336
00:54:09,010 --> 00:54:12,009
S3: he's basically just morphing into Matthew McConaughey. Like in front

1337
00:54:12,010 --> 00:54:12,489
S3: of our eyes.

1338
00:54:12,610 --> 00:54:16,120
S1: Look, look, let's do the Glen Powell thing. Because I've been.

1339
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:17,680
S3: I've been you know, I've been edging.

1340
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:18,490
S4: I.

1341
00:54:18,489 --> 00:54:21,370
S1: I, I like whooped in the cinema when he came

1342
00:54:21,370 --> 00:54:24,460
S1: out was wearing the cowboy hat I, I, I like

1343
00:54:24,460 --> 00:54:26,350
S1: Glen Powell. You guys know that I like Glen Powell

1344
00:54:26,350 --> 00:54:29,980
S1: I think he's quite charming. Quite fun is good for

1345
00:54:29,980 --> 00:54:33,520
S1: these kinds of movies that are not taking themselves that seriously.

1346
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,380
S1: And he can have chemistry with a whole bunch of

1347
00:54:35,380 --> 00:54:38,830
S1: different people. But I will say he is the same

1348
00:54:38,830 --> 00:54:42,010
S1: character in like the last five things we've seen him in,

1349
00:54:42,010 --> 00:54:43,960
S1: I think. I think hitman sort of pushed it a

1350
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,720
S1: little bit, but this Glen Powell could have been the

1351
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,969
S1: guy from anyone but you, right? It could have been

1352
00:54:48,969 --> 00:54:52,540
S1: the guy from Top Gun Maverick, and I don't mind it,

1353
00:54:52,540 --> 00:54:54,850
S1: but I would love to see him push himself a

1354
00:54:54,850 --> 00:54:56,020
S1: little bit in something.

1355
00:54:56,020 --> 00:54:57,549
S2: Yeah, I thought he was probably the best part about

1356
00:54:57,550 --> 00:55:00,040
S2: the film in terms of the others. Yeah, particularly compared

1357
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,430
S2: to Daisy. Um, I thought he had. He was very

1358
00:55:03,580 --> 00:55:06,069
S2: charismatic and funny. He had that kind of movie star

1359
00:55:06,070 --> 00:55:08,589
S2: thing that he was leaning into. I thought I liked

1360
00:55:08,590 --> 00:55:09,250
S2: him in this.

1361
00:55:09,250 --> 00:55:10,180
S4: I think he's I agree.

1362
00:55:10,180 --> 00:55:11,530
S2: With you that. Yeah, he's I think he's.

1363
00:55:11,530 --> 00:55:12,190
S4: Got he's just.

1364
00:55:12,190 --> 00:55:15,069
S3: Like there's been a it's been a lot of Glen Powell.

1365
00:55:15,190 --> 00:55:17,620
S3: All these things have come out in like 12 months

1366
00:55:17,620 --> 00:55:21,140
S3: kind of it's been like hitman, anyone but you and

1367
00:55:21,140 --> 00:55:23,360
S3: now this. And they're all like being kind of big.

1368
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,490
S1: Talking less than 12 months. Yeah. Anyone but you was

1369
00:55:25,489 --> 00:55:26,390
S1: December last year.

1370
00:55:26,390 --> 00:55:28,250
S3: So like that's a lot of Glen Powell uh, in

1371
00:55:28,250 --> 00:55:29,150
S3: a short amount of time.

1372
00:55:29,150 --> 00:55:30,800
S1: Well people this is the thing. People love it. Like

1373
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,620
S1: this movie is doing quite well. Interestingly, it's doing very

1374
00:55:33,620 --> 00:55:37,640
S1: well in America and not that well elsewhere. I interested

1375
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:38,930
S1: to get your thoughts on that. Like it is a

1376
00:55:38,930 --> 00:55:42,630
S1: very American movie, I guess, like country music and Oklahoma

1377
00:55:42,630 --> 00:55:46,259
S1: and a lot of chat about Oklahoma! Uh, I, I

1378
00:55:46,260 --> 00:55:48,360
S1: find it weird that it hasn't had a big marketing

1379
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,719
S1: push elsewhere because, Thomas, you and I enjoyed the movie.

1380
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,360
S1: It's not like I need to have first hand experience

1381
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,960
S1: of tornadoes to understand that this movie is fun.

1382
00:55:58,230 --> 00:56:00,690
S3: Yeah. It's weird. I mean, it is very American. A

1383
00:56:00,690 --> 00:56:02,610
S3: colleague of ours said before the podcast that it was

1384
00:56:02,610 --> 00:56:05,100
S3: part of the rise in conservative filmmaking, which is why I.

1385
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:05,340
S4: Kind of.

1386
00:56:05,610 --> 00:56:06,330
S3: Loved it so much.

1387
00:56:06,330 --> 00:56:07,910
S2: Yeah, I do kind of agree with that. Do you.

1388
00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:09,799
S1: Think so? Okay, I've got a totally different read, but

1389
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:10,970
S1: tell me, tell me why you think that, Mel.

1390
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:11,689
S4: Well, I think.

1391
00:56:11,930 --> 00:56:14,330
S2: It's very it is a regionally specific, which I don't

1392
00:56:14,330 --> 00:56:17,750
S2: think necessarily makes it conservative filmmaking, but just the whole

1393
00:56:17,750 --> 00:56:19,969
S2: shtick of it felt to me. And I guess that's

1394
00:56:19,969 --> 00:56:22,370
S2: what I'm saying when I think it felt like a throwback.

1395
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,620
S2: There's something there's a bit of a Northmen.

1396
00:56:24,620 --> 00:56:25,250
S3: What was it?

1397
00:56:25,820 --> 00:56:26,240
S1: Richmond.

1398
00:56:26,270 --> 00:56:27,350
S4: North of Richmond.

1399
00:56:27,350 --> 00:56:28,400
S3: North of Richmond, about it.

1400
00:56:28,550 --> 00:56:29,000
S4: Vibe to it.

1401
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,100
S2: And I know other critics are saying that the failure

1402
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:34,040
S2: to mention climate change was odd. I mean, I don't

1403
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,160
S2: think it needed to be spelled out, but it was

1404
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,129
S2: that kind of there was just that, that kind of

1405
00:56:40,130 --> 00:56:43,310
S2: nostalgic vibe of it that really kind of made me

1406
00:56:43,340 --> 00:56:44,780
S2: see it as a conservative film.

1407
00:56:44,810 --> 00:56:48,950
S1: That's interesting, I think. I think there is an element

1408
00:56:48,950 --> 00:56:50,870
S1: of truth to that. I think it was probably a

1409
00:56:50,870 --> 00:56:54,110
S1: deliberate decision to not use the words climate change, to

1410
00:56:54,110 --> 00:56:57,640
S1: not make this a culture war object and just make

1411
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,520
S1: this film make heaps of money in the Midwest. Right.

1412
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,940
S1: Like I think they probably deliberately had that conversation. But

1413
00:57:03,940 --> 00:57:06,940
S1: at the same time, I do think it's interesting that

1414
00:57:06,940 --> 00:57:11,740
S1: the main villain of this movie is a southern, you know,

1415
00:57:11,739 --> 00:57:15,670
S1: corrupt politician, real estate agent who pretends to be on

1416
00:57:15,670 --> 00:57:19,230
S1: the side of working people but is actually swindling them

1417
00:57:19,230 --> 00:57:22,620
S1: to enrich himself. It's a kind of Trumpian sort of

1418
00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:25,410
S1: a character there, I think. It sort of fits into

1419
00:57:25,410 --> 00:57:28,650
S1: this idea of like, well, is it is it on

1420
00:57:28,650 --> 00:57:31,710
S1: the side of like working class white Americans, which is

1421
00:57:31,710 --> 00:57:35,970
S1: like what Oklahoma is? Yes. Does that automatically make it conservative? Like,

1422
00:57:35,970 --> 00:57:39,750
S1: should progressives just cede the entire ground of storytelling about

1423
00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:42,600
S1: white people in rural towns to the conservatives? I don't

1424
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:46,080
S1: think something that is about farms and about that part

1425
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,440
S1: of America needs to automatically be dubbed conservative. That's that's

1426
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:49,950
S1: kind of my no.

1427
00:57:49,950 --> 00:57:51,060
S4: I think that's fair, but that's true.

1428
00:57:51,060 --> 00:57:54,480
S2: And I'm also, I guess, speaking conservative stylistically as well.

1429
00:57:54,870 --> 00:57:55,290
S4: I do think.

1430
00:57:55,290 --> 00:57:58,800
S3: Though, at the same time, you've got the like attached

1431
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,900
S3: to the villain is the kind of like classic think

1432
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:03,750
S3: tank scientist, like with Anthony Ramos and their project, whereas

1433
00:58:03,750 --> 00:58:07,300
S3: the hero of the movie is like swashbuckling tornado wrangler Glenn.

1434
00:58:07,300 --> 00:58:08,080
S4: Cowboy hat.

1435
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:08,920
S2: Wearing cowboy.

1436
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,930
S3: Hat like kicks the door down of the tornado and

1437
00:58:10,930 --> 00:58:14,650
S3: steps right into that motherfucker. But like, you know that

1438
00:58:14,650 --> 00:58:17,410
S3: he kind of appeals to a certain like, again, I

1439
00:58:17,410 --> 00:58:18,550
S3: don't think you can. Like, it's a good.

1440
00:58:18,550 --> 00:58:20,200
S1: No, it's a good point. It is a very like

1441
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,080
S1: the elites are the bad guys, these fancy people with

1442
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,570
S1: their start up funding and they went to their universities

1443
00:58:25,570 --> 00:58:28,570
S1: versus the like, you know, YouTube guys, we're here to

1444
00:58:28,570 --> 00:58:29,740
S1: take down mainstream media and.

1445
00:58:29,740 --> 00:58:31,700
S3: Like that whole exactly like there's even a conversation where

1446
00:58:31,700 --> 00:58:33,740
S3: it's like, what degrees do you guys have? And like

1447
00:58:33,740 --> 00:58:35,360
S3: they're like, we don't have none, but we just fucking

1448
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,640
S3: love having fun. And like, it's all. So there was

1449
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,100
S3: like that divide was like an undercurrent in the film.

1450
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:42,680
S1: But also the Glen Powell crew was like the most

1451
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,830
S1: diverse crew of of them all, as well as layers

1452
00:58:45,830 --> 00:58:47,930
S1: to this movie, you know. Um, and I do feel

1453
00:58:47,930 --> 00:58:50,210
S1: like we're joking about the Minari thing. I do feel like, look,

1454
00:58:50,210 --> 00:58:52,370
S1: this is the big budget movie that Lee Isaac Chung

1455
00:58:52,370 --> 00:58:56,160
S1: came in to, I think quite late on after another director, uh,

1456
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,280
S1: kind of that, that they had to bow out there.

1457
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,310
S1: There is a whole, like, family drama on a farm

1458
00:59:02,310 --> 00:59:04,830
S1: in the middle of America plot, which I feel like

1459
00:59:04,830 --> 00:59:07,230
S1: he has some of his fingerprints on, which is a

1460
00:59:07,230 --> 00:59:08,820
S1: little bit of a nod to Minari. That's true.

1461
00:59:08,820 --> 00:59:10,740
S2: But do you like, will you ever think about this

1462
00:59:10,740 --> 00:59:12,570
S2: film again or watch it again? Like, to me.

1463
00:59:12,570 --> 00:59:14,010
S4: It just felt like I might watch.

1464
00:59:14,010 --> 00:59:15,360
S1: It again. I don't think I'll think about it, but

1465
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,250
S1: I don't think the film wants you to think about

1466
00:59:17,250 --> 00:59:19,340
S1: it again. I think the film is there, like have

1467
00:59:19,340 --> 00:59:21,290
S1: a really fun time. If you can't watch it in

1468
00:59:21,290 --> 00:59:23,150
S1: a cinema, watch it on a big screen with good

1469
00:59:23,150 --> 00:59:27,020
S1: sound and you'll kind of be a bit thrilled. And

1470
00:59:27,380 --> 00:59:29,390
S1: I think the film does know it is kind of silly,

1471
00:59:29,390 --> 00:59:31,850
S1: like the ending of the movie in particular is so

1472
00:59:31,850 --> 00:59:35,300
S1: like just like absurd and almost it almost feels like

1473
00:59:35,300 --> 00:59:37,910
S1: a blooper reel, really, of the movie. And I like

1474
00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:38,510
S1: that too.

1475
00:59:38,510 --> 00:59:40,760
S2: Yeah, you're right, that part does kind of save it

1476
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,530
S2: a bit, because otherwise I would say it should be

1477
00:59:42,530 --> 00:59:45,390
S2: more silly. Like it needed to be funnier and sillier

1478
00:59:45,390 --> 00:59:46,500
S2: and more self-aware.

1479
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:47,070
S4: There is such a.

1480
00:59:47,070 --> 00:59:49,920
S3: Thing as being too self-aware and too silly.

1481
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,170
S1: Oh, that.

1482
00:59:52,170 --> 00:59:52,800
S4: Means.

1483
00:59:53,100 --> 00:59:56,220
S1: It's time for the big one. In just a few weeks,

1484
00:59:56,220 --> 01:00:00,570
S1: this film has become the highest grossing R-rated movie in history,

1485
01:00:00,570 --> 01:00:04,620
S1: surpassing Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. Believe it

1486
01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:08,860
S1: or not, it is, of course, Deadpool and Wolverine, starring

1487
01:00:08,860 --> 01:00:12,490
S1: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. It's the third Deadpool film,

1488
01:00:12,490 --> 01:00:16,240
S1: but it's the first one since Disney bought 20th Century

1489
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,470
S1: Fox in 2019, a corporate merger that occupies a weird

1490
01:00:20,470 --> 01:00:24,250
S1: amount of time in this actual film. I'm kind of

1491
01:00:24,250 --> 01:00:25,960
S1: torn on how to talk about it. I think the

1492
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,570
S1: fact that it's like very popular means that we should

1493
01:00:28,570 --> 01:00:31,250
S1: just talk about it as a movie first, evaluate it

1494
01:00:31,250 --> 01:00:33,410
S1: on its own terms, and then we can discuss how

1495
01:00:33,410 --> 01:00:36,830
S1: it fits into the broader cinematic landscape, the Marvel Universe,

1496
01:00:36,830 --> 01:00:42,260
S1: and the future direction of human society. Um, Mel, you

1497
01:00:42,260 --> 01:00:44,960
S1: watch this movie, but you also told us that you've

1498
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,280
S1: never seen any other Deadpool films or any X-Men films

1499
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,200
S1: or any Marvel films.

1500
01:00:51,830 --> 01:00:53,930
S2: It feels I know it felt like I wasn't sure

1501
01:00:53,930 --> 01:00:56,470
S2: whether I should make that confession, but it also felt

1502
01:00:56,470 --> 01:00:59,470
S2: essential to my viewing experience. Um, look, I'm really. I

1503
01:00:59,470 --> 01:01:02,080
S2: think I really ride for Batman. I mean, I have

1504
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,810
S2: seen Spider-Man, Kirsten Dunst, Tobey Maguire.

1505
01:01:04,810 --> 01:01:08,500
S1: Okay, so none of those. Also, Spider-Man is a marvel movie.

1506
01:01:08,500 --> 01:01:09,850
S4: Batman is not a DC.

1507
01:01:09,850 --> 01:01:13,510
S2: But yeah, I think Spider-Man is probably the biggest engagement

1508
01:01:13,510 --> 01:01:15,580
S2: I've had with Marvel. But X-Men.

1509
01:01:15,580 --> 01:01:17,530
S1: And that was the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man, which is not

1510
01:01:17,530 --> 01:01:18,580
S1: a marvel production, in.

1511
01:01:18,580 --> 01:01:20,169
S2: Fact. Well, there you go. So a Sony.

1512
01:01:20,170 --> 01:01:20,800
S4: Production. I was coming.

1513
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,120
S2: Into this very cold.

1514
01:01:22,330 --> 01:01:24,490
S1: Okay, great. No, I think it's I'm not making fun

1515
01:01:24,490 --> 01:01:27,070
S1: of you. I think that makes you a normal person. Unlike, uh,

1516
01:01:27,070 --> 01:01:29,710
S1: you do those like Thomas and I, um. And it's

1517
01:01:29,710 --> 01:01:33,010
S1: just good to lay out, you know, our respective levels

1518
01:01:33,010 --> 01:01:37,600
S1: of engagement and connectedness to this world. Mel, could you

1519
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,850
S1: explain the plot of this movie for us?

1520
01:01:39,850 --> 01:01:43,020
S2: I can now, I have written when I watched it,

1521
01:01:43,020 --> 01:01:45,420
S2: I went into it cold. Right? Like I didn't Google

1522
01:01:45,420 --> 01:01:48,750
S2: who is Deadpool or like anything. I didn't read any

1523
01:01:48,750 --> 01:01:51,330
S2: reviews because I wanted to have the full experience. And

1524
01:01:51,330 --> 01:01:51,690
S2: this is kind.

1525
01:01:51,690 --> 01:01:52,170
S1: Of I'm so.

1526
01:01:52,170 --> 01:01:52,620
S4: Excited.

1527
01:01:52,710 --> 01:01:56,070
S2: What I took away was a wise cracking man in

1528
01:01:56,070 --> 01:01:59,460
S2: a suit that hides a skin condition, and I think

1529
01:01:59,460 --> 01:02:02,790
S2: can time travel and wants to join the Avengers. Um,

1530
01:02:02,790 --> 01:02:07,090
S2: but Tom Wambsgans from succession, that was great, tells him

1531
01:02:07,090 --> 01:02:11,770
S2: that he has to destroy the universe because Wolverine has died,

1532
01:02:11,770 --> 01:02:16,300
S2: and for some reason the world can't continue without him.

1533
01:02:16,300 --> 01:02:18,760
S2: I don't know why. Then he steals some kind of

1534
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:23,140
S2: device and he goes to resurrect Wolverine. And then there

1535
01:02:23,140 --> 01:02:26,620
S2: was just a time pad, a void, an alien lith,

1536
01:02:26,620 --> 01:02:32,420
S2: a nice Paul Dogpool juggernaut. Pyro. That's how that's really.

1537
01:02:32,750 --> 01:02:35,720
S2: I didn't really know what was going on. Um, and

1538
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,850
S2: to be honest, I'm not that sad. I didn't see

1539
01:02:37,850 --> 01:02:39,680
S2: the other Deadpools did I do well?

1540
01:02:39,710 --> 01:02:43,490
S1: Incredible, incredible, incredible summation of the plot. If you.

1541
01:02:43,490 --> 01:02:44,209
S4: Had wrote.

1542
01:02:44,210 --> 01:02:47,000
S1: My own, I wrote my own notes to help explain.

1543
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,220
S1: But they're basically word for word. What you what you

1544
01:02:49,220 --> 01:02:52,430
S1: just said. That's basically the plot of Deadpool. Uh, before

1545
01:02:52,430 --> 01:02:55,410
S1: we talk about it more. Yeah. Your take on the movie, Mel,

1546
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,020
S1: as someone who came in cold yay or nay?

1547
01:02:58,020 --> 01:03:05,460
S2: Um, probably. Yeah. There were too many. Yay! Oh, nay. Sorry. Nay. Yeah. Um, two.

1548
01:03:05,460 --> 01:03:08,970
S2: Like top note takeaway. Too many one liners. Just take

1549
01:03:08,970 --> 01:03:12,420
S2: a break. And just like too many dick jokes. Why

1550
01:03:12,420 --> 01:03:15,840
S2: were there so many dick jokes all the time? Constantly.

1551
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,450
S3: Well, Deadpool is like in the comics, meant to be

1552
01:03:18,450 --> 01:03:21,010
S3: almost like he always flirts with like, what his sexuality

1553
01:03:21,010 --> 01:03:23,110
S3: is and stuff. Um, and they kind of explore that

1554
01:03:23,110 --> 01:03:25,690
S3: in the other films. He's, he's basically meant to be

1555
01:03:25,690 --> 01:03:28,300
S3: like juvenile and stuff, but I, I mean, I loved

1556
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:31,060
S3: the first Deadpool movie, was happy with the second one.

1557
01:03:31,060 --> 01:03:34,390
S3: This I just had such a bad time. Like I

1558
01:03:34,390 --> 01:03:37,810
S3: thought it was Ryan Reynolds. Talk about one note actors

1559
01:03:37,810 --> 01:03:40,750
S3: Ryan Reynolds just doing Ryan Reynolds, but it was too much.

1560
01:03:40,750 --> 01:03:43,320
S3: And then Hugh Jackman like Logan, I think we can

1561
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,270
S3: all agree when I say all, I of course mean

1562
01:03:45,270 --> 01:03:47,550
S3: Osmond and I because you haven't seen it. One of

1563
01:03:47,550 --> 01:03:49,560
S3: the great comic book films.

1564
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:53,430
S1: Yeah. James Mangold tackling this character at the end of

1565
01:03:53,430 --> 01:03:57,720
S1: his kind of natural life, a meditation on dying and

1566
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,270
S1: death and legacy. Really, really beautiful film.

1567
01:04:00,270 --> 01:04:02,160
S3: And they kind of pick up threads of that in

1568
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,340
S3: Deadpool versus Wolverine, and in a way that is to

1569
01:04:05,340 --> 01:04:07,450
S3: its own detriment, because it feels like Hugh Jackman is

1570
01:04:07,450 --> 01:04:08,920
S3: acting in his own movie.

1571
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,750
S1: Yeah, he's he's in a different movie, man.

1572
01:04:10,750 --> 01:04:11,230
S4: It's it.

1573
01:04:11,230 --> 01:04:14,380
S3: Is crazy. I and then like, just all of the

1574
01:04:14,380 --> 01:04:19,090
S3: I mean, yeah. Tom Wambsgans, Matthew Macfadyen basically playing Tom Wambsgans. Uh,

1575
01:04:19,270 --> 01:04:20,680
S3: I don't know, it was all a waste.

1576
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:21,460
S1: What a waste of him.

1577
01:04:21,460 --> 01:04:23,890
S3: I know, I know, it was all very confusing. There

1578
01:04:23,890 --> 01:04:26,770
S3: were a few like, you really have to have your, like,

1579
01:04:26,770 --> 01:04:29,740
S3: Marvel lore down pat for this in order to fully

1580
01:04:29,740 --> 01:04:31,850
S3: appreciate all the gags. I don't know, Osman. I mean,

1581
01:04:31,850 --> 01:04:36,200
S3: obviously as someone who lives and breathes Marvel, but like, seriously,

1582
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,150
S3: you would you would have had context for every joke.

1583
01:04:38,150 --> 01:04:39,770
S3: Pretty much. Yeah. Did it annoy you?

1584
01:04:39,950 --> 01:04:43,040
S1: Let's talk about that. Just just to quickly do the

1585
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,400
S1: plot in a way I think that helps people understand it,

1586
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,790
S1: but also explains how ludicrous this plot is. So Deadpool

1587
01:04:49,790 --> 01:04:52,730
S1: is living a boring life after interviewing and failing to

1588
01:04:52,730 --> 01:04:54,830
S1: make it as an Avenger. As you put Mel, he

1589
01:04:54,850 --> 01:04:58,930
S1: gets kidnapped by the Time Variance Authority, which is led

1590
01:04:58,930 --> 01:05:01,060
S1: by Matthew Macfadyen from succession, and he's told he can

1591
01:05:01,060 --> 01:05:03,850
S1: become an Avenger, but he has to watch his universe

1592
01:05:03,850 --> 01:05:06,430
S1: and all the people he loves die. So he decides

1593
01:05:06,430 --> 01:05:09,280
S1: instead to team up with Wolverine from a different universe

1594
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,320
S1: and wreak some havoc. But instead he gets sent to

1595
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,600
S1: this place called the void, which is ruled over by

1596
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,480
S1: Cassandra Nova, who was Professor X's twin sister, played by

1597
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,210
S1: Emma Corrin in The Void. He meets all these leftover

1598
01:05:19,210 --> 01:05:23,560
S1: superheroes from 20th Century Fox films before the Marvel Cinematic

1599
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,350
S1: Universe exists. There's lots of fights, lots of jokes, and

1600
01:05:26,350 --> 01:05:27,910
S1: he tries to battle his way out of the void.

1601
01:05:27,940 --> 01:05:30,070
S1: I think even from that summary, you can sort of

1602
01:05:30,070 --> 01:05:33,850
S1: get a sense that if you are not just across Marvel,

1603
01:05:33,850 --> 01:05:37,570
S1: but you're across the movies that came before Marvel, the

1604
01:05:37,570 --> 01:05:41,350
S1: Jennifer Garner Elektra film, the Wesley Snipes Blade film, the

1605
01:05:41,350 --> 01:05:44,300
S1: fact that Chris Evans before he was Captain America, was

1606
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:47,720
S1: the Human Torch in the 2005 Fantastic Four film. If

1607
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:51,050
S1: you know the comic book lore, that professor X had

1608
01:05:51,050 --> 01:05:55,160
S1: a twin sister who tried to strangle him in utero. Like,

1609
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,160
S1: you have to really know a lot of stuff for

1610
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,290
S1: a lot of these gags to land. And then if

1611
01:06:00,290 --> 01:06:02,150
S1: you are not one of those people, you have to

1612
01:06:02,150 --> 01:06:04,700
S1: just love Ryan Reynolds, and you have to love his

1613
01:06:04,700 --> 01:06:08,420
S1: shtick and his his kind of witticisms for this movie

1614
01:06:08,420 --> 01:06:11,360
S1: to work. Now, the weird thing is, none of us

1615
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,690
S1: really enjoyed this movie. This movie's gotten pretty good reviews

1616
01:06:14,690 --> 01:06:17,660
S1: and has made a shit ton of money, and I'm

1617
01:06:17,660 --> 01:06:21,740
S1: fascinated as to what that like audience is. Who's in

1618
01:06:21,740 --> 01:06:25,100
S1: the bag for this? Because on one hand, like we

1619
01:06:25,100 --> 01:06:27,350
S1: just said, you need to have this knowledge. I think

1620
01:06:27,350 --> 01:06:31,460
S1: that goes 25. In the case of like blade, nearly

1621
01:06:31,460 --> 01:06:37,130
S1: 30 years of film and comic book history and the

1622
01:06:37,130 --> 01:06:39,950
S1: music choices, right, are these big nostalgia hits to these,

1623
01:06:39,950 --> 01:06:43,790
S1: these big music set pieces NSYNC, Bye Bye Bye, Madonna,

1624
01:06:43,820 --> 01:06:46,490
S1: Like a Prayer, all this stuff that like, scratches your

1625
01:06:46,490 --> 01:06:50,300
S1: brain if you're an elder millennial or a gen-xer, but

1626
01:06:50,300 --> 01:06:52,970
S1: then the jokes and the style of the movie seem

1627
01:06:52,970 --> 01:06:55,620
S1: like they're designed for 17 year old boys who presumably

1628
01:06:55,620 --> 01:06:58,590
S1: don't have that. That's just dick jokes, Dick jokes, more

1629
01:06:58,590 --> 01:07:03,510
S1: dick jokes, and really cartoony action that doesn't look particularly good.

1630
01:07:03,510 --> 01:07:06,420
S1: Like Shawn Levy, who directed this movie, is not a particularly, like,

1631
01:07:06,420 --> 01:07:10,380
S1: great filmmaker. Um, David Leitch, you know, who's a pretty

1632
01:07:10,380 --> 01:07:12,990
S1: good filmmaker. He did the second one. The first Deadpool

1633
01:07:12,990 --> 01:07:17,220
S1: was pretty good. I can't understand who this movie is for,

1634
01:07:17,220 --> 01:07:19,960
S1: and I'm more flummoxed about the fact that it has

1635
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,560
S1: been so successful, given that I don't understand who it's for.

1636
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,620
S3: But I think that, uh, the success I reckon has

1637
01:07:26,620 --> 01:07:29,350
S3: come down, this movie almost seems like it was made

1638
01:07:29,350 --> 01:07:33,580
S3: for the ensuing press trip, which has seen Ryan Reynolds

1639
01:07:33,580 --> 01:07:36,970
S3: and Hugh Jackman go all over the world except Australia, weirdly.

1640
01:07:36,970 --> 01:07:40,780
S3: But they did like Asia, South America, obviously the states,

1641
01:07:40,780 --> 01:07:44,780
S3: Europe they like. There's this whole even before this movie

1642
01:07:44,780 --> 01:07:46,220
S3: came out, we've known that they've got this like kind

1643
01:07:46,220 --> 01:07:48,410
S3: of like buddy cop thing going on where they're like

1644
01:07:48,410 --> 01:07:51,440
S3: funny friends and like, he's really serious and Ryan's really

1645
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,780
S3: silly and like, he's so handsome and blah, blah, blah.

1646
01:07:53,780 --> 01:07:57,440
S3: And it feels like the movie has been has come

1647
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,450
S3: alive in the press tour almost. And the press tour

1648
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,160
S3: has fed into like a desire to people want to

1649
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,240
S3: go and check it out like it was always going

1650
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,030
S3: to do well, but it's done so well. I don't know,

1651
01:08:05,030 --> 01:08:08,500
S3: it just feels like it's hinging on the off screen

1652
01:08:08,500 --> 01:08:12,760
S3: relationship of the two leads, which are two pretty universally loved,

1653
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:13,930
S3: like famous actors.

1654
01:08:13,930 --> 01:08:14,230
S4: Or do you.

1655
01:08:14,230 --> 01:08:16,900
S2: Think also that maybe people who love Deadpool one and

1656
01:08:16,900 --> 01:08:19,660
S2: Deadpool two are just going along because they were attached

1657
01:08:19,660 --> 01:08:23,380
S2: to the franchise when it was a lot more original, i.e.

1658
01:08:23,380 --> 01:08:25,689
S2: the first one, so that they're committed to it and

1659
01:08:25,689 --> 01:08:27,040
S2: will still go along.

1660
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:28,930
S1: I think. I think those are both really good points.

1661
01:08:28,930 --> 01:08:31,550
S1: Like the first two Deadpool movies were very popular, right?

1662
01:08:31,550 --> 01:08:34,400
S1: So people will see the third one, plus people who

1663
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,240
S1: just like, like the Marvel movies and remember Wolverine, who

1664
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,310
S1: was in the X-Men movies that were really good will

1665
01:08:40,310 --> 01:08:43,010
S1: want to see them. So there is a lot of

1666
01:08:43,010 --> 01:08:46,160
S1: just like mining nostalgia. And I think, Thomas, that's also

1667
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,080
S1: a really good point. I mean, Deadpool as a character

1668
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,450
S1: in the comic books and in the movies is very

1669
01:08:50,450 --> 01:08:52,790
S1: meta like he breaks the fourth wall a lot. So

1670
01:08:52,790 --> 01:08:55,589
S1: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman having fun in real life

1671
01:08:55,590 --> 01:08:58,140
S1: sort of feels like they're doing it in the movie.

1672
01:08:58,140 --> 01:09:01,320
S1: And this movie, more than any of the others, is

1673
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,840
S1: so matter. Like like he talks about Hugh Jackman being

1674
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,870
S1: in this movie a bunch. It references so many things

1675
01:09:06,870 --> 01:09:08,940
S1: in real life. I mean, one of the jokes I

1676
01:09:08,939 --> 01:09:09,990
S1: did laugh at, I think was the only one I

1677
01:09:09,990 --> 01:09:13,560
S1: laughed at is Reynolds making a Gossip Girl gag about, like.

1678
01:09:13,770 --> 01:09:14,430
S4: Also related.

1679
01:09:14,430 --> 01:09:14,790
S2: To.

1680
01:09:14,790 --> 01:09:16,559
S4: Dicks. Yeah, yeah. It was also.

1681
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,930
S1: Related to dicks. Yeah. He's married to Blake Lively. Who?

1682
01:09:18,939 --> 01:09:21,160
S1: Did you guys recognize her popping up in the film? Well, only.

1683
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,019
S3: Because I knew from the press tour that she was

1684
01:09:23,020 --> 01:09:25,210
S3: in the movie. Yeah, but then there was a very

1685
01:09:25,210 --> 01:09:27,340
S3: funny joke about Hugh Jackman being divorced. Did you guys

1686
01:09:27,340 --> 01:09:27,939
S3: catch that one?

1687
01:09:27,939 --> 01:09:28,599
S4: I enjoyed that.

1688
01:09:28,660 --> 01:09:30,820
S1: And also, all the funny ones are the ones we

1689
01:09:30,820 --> 01:09:33,849
S1: love about, like celeb goss. Um, Jennifer Garner making a joke.

1690
01:09:33,850 --> 01:09:37,599
S1: You probably didn't get this one, Mel. Uh, so Elektra,

1691
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,580
S1: who Jennifer Garner plays, is in like, the same sort

1692
01:09:39,580 --> 01:09:44,400
S1: of universe as Daredevil, who was a, uh, character, and

1693
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:47,640
S1: Ben Affleck played Daredevil, right? Obviously, Jennifer Garner and Ben

1694
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,620
S1: Affleck were an item for a while. And so there's

1695
01:09:49,620 --> 01:09:52,710
S1: a gag where they're like, oh no, where's Daredevil? And

1696
01:09:52,710 --> 01:09:54,900
S1: she's like, don't worry about him. He doesn't need to

1697
01:09:54,900 --> 01:09:55,200
S1: be around.

1698
01:09:55,290 --> 01:09:56,340
S4: Which was pretty good. That was the.

1699
01:09:56,340 --> 01:09:57,780
S2: Part of it that I most like was like the

1700
01:09:57,780 --> 01:10:00,990
S2: meta commentary on Warner and Marvel, even if I didn't

1701
01:10:00,990 --> 01:10:04,019
S2: get the kind of lore of some of the Marvel details.

1702
01:10:04,020 --> 01:10:08,790
S2: But the commentary on the Hollywood industry and super superhero franchises,

1703
01:10:08,790 --> 01:10:12,059
S2: that was definitely the best part. But yes, there was

1704
01:10:12,060 --> 01:10:14,250
S2: not enough of that to sustain it for me.

1705
01:10:14,490 --> 01:10:17,340
S1: Yeah, and I wondered, like, there's people who love this movie.

1706
01:10:17,340 --> 01:10:18,960
S1: There's people I know and who I like, and I

1707
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,060
S1: trust their opinions who really like this movie. One of

1708
01:10:21,060 --> 01:10:24,720
S1: the things that left me feeling like quite bitter about

1709
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,490
S1: it was the joke is kind of on fans of

1710
01:10:29,490 --> 01:10:32,110
S1: these movies, in a way. It's like they're making jokes

1711
01:10:32,110 --> 01:10:35,169
S1: about how Marvel is at a low point that that

1712
01:10:35,170 --> 01:10:40,090
S1: mining so much nostalgia and they're making so much fun of. Thomas,

1713
01:10:40,090 --> 01:10:42,730
S1: you said Logan was one of the best superhero movies ever.

1714
01:10:42,729 --> 01:10:46,150
S1: I totally agree, they kind of destroyed the legacy in

1715
01:10:46,150 --> 01:10:48,759
S1: a way. Like they literally talk about that movie and

1716
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,729
S1: that character so much. And even the return of Hugh

1717
01:10:51,729 --> 01:10:54,310
S1: Jackman after that movie gave him such a poignant and

1718
01:10:54,310 --> 01:10:57,900
S1: beautiful sendoff suggests that none of this stuff really matters.

1719
01:10:57,900 --> 01:11:01,110
S1: So it's like, hey guys, come and pay money and

1720
01:11:01,110 --> 01:11:04,290
S1: watch these stories that are supposed to be about have

1721
01:11:04,290 --> 01:11:07,080
S1: this kind of emotional core or some resonance to your life.

1722
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,750
S1: But actually none of it matters, because any time we

1723
01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:11,520
S1: want to make some more money, we'll bring back dead

1724
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,120
S1: characters and we'll make fun of you for believing in

1725
01:11:15,150 --> 01:11:18,600
S1: that stuff in the first place. If people like it, like,

1726
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,640
S1: good on them. But it does feel profoundly cynical. And

1727
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,710
S1: I wonder how many times you can get away with

1728
01:11:23,710 --> 01:11:26,770
S1: getting the gang together, making heaps of fun about it,

1729
01:11:26,770 --> 01:11:30,100
S1: rinsing people for their hard earned cash, and then walking

1730
01:11:30,100 --> 01:11:32,320
S1: away and patting yourself on the back. You can't do

1731
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,809
S1: that too many times. And I wonder if, even though

1732
01:11:34,810 --> 01:11:38,680
S1: this is such a financial high point for for for

1733
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:42,250
S1: Marvel Disney bringing this all together, I wonder if, like

1734
01:11:42,250 --> 01:11:45,200
S1: the next ones could struggle because you just kind of

1735
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:49,100
S1: can't rip your brand apart like this and mock it

1736
01:11:49,100 --> 01:11:52,250
S1: and expect people to keep turning up. But maybe I'm wrong.

1737
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:55,100
S1: Like Marvel fans are weird and they might keep turning up.

1738
01:11:55,100 --> 01:11:55,670
S4: Do you think there's.

1739
01:11:55,670 --> 01:11:57,590
S2: Going to be more? Surely not. I thought maybe this

1740
01:11:57,590 --> 01:11:59,720
S2: was the farewell to Deadpool.

1741
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:00,110
S4: No, I.

1742
01:12:00,110 --> 01:12:02,750
S1: Mean, like there are going to be there's like another

1743
01:12:02,750 --> 01:12:06,440
S1: five Avengers movies, like in the pipeline. There's a joke

1744
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:08,160
S1: in this about, you know, how Hugh Jackman will keep

1745
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,620
S1: doing this till he's 90. The fact that this has

1746
01:12:10,620 --> 01:12:12,840
S1: been so financially successful, if you're Disney, if you're a

1747
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,780
S1: publicly listed company, your shareholders, your board is going to

1748
01:12:15,780 --> 01:12:19,380
S1: be like, you made $1.2 billion off that movie. What

1749
01:12:19,380 --> 01:12:21,660
S1: do you mean you're packing it up, right? And like

1750
01:12:21,660 --> 01:12:25,530
S1: Chris Evans as Captain America, he he left like, okay,

1751
01:12:25,530 --> 01:12:28,230
S1: we'll talk about Tony Stark, right. Like left the Marvel Universe.

1752
01:12:28,260 --> 01:12:30,360
S1: They wrapped all that up. Tony Stark is back in

1753
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,250
S1: the next Marvel movie as a different character. Like they're

1754
01:12:33,250 --> 01:12:36,250
S1: going to keep doing this stuff. That seems crazy.

1755
01:12:36,970 --> 01:12:37,750
S3: It's like, come on.

1756
01:12:37,780 --> 01:12:40,570
S1: Crazy stuff. Yeah, I yeah, I just feel a little

1757
01:12:40,570 --> 01:12:43,990
S1: bit sad that I'm great. It's great that movies are back.

1758
01:12:43,990 --> 01:12:46,720
S1: It's great that people are watching stuff. There's bits of

1759
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,910
S1: this movie that are kind of funny and kind of interesting.

1760
01:12:48,910 --> 01:12:51,730
S1: The points you made, Mel, about the meta commentary in Hollywood,

1761
01:12:51,729 --> 01:12:55,580
S1: but the future of cinema can't just be the same.

1762
01:12:55,580 --> 01:12:59,660
S1: Ten characters that were big in the early 20 tens being, like,

1763
01:12:59,660 --> 01:13:02,809
S1: dragged out of their literal graves in the case of

1764
01:13:02,810 --> 01:13:05,330
S1: Wolverine and made to dance for us on stage. I

1765
01:13:05,330 --> 01:13:08,179
S1: feel quite upset about that, as you can tell. Well,

1766
01:13:08,180 --> 01:13:08,450
S1: how are you.

1767
01:13:08,450 --> 01:13:09,830
S2: Feeling about the Joker later in the.

1768
01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:10,189
S4: Year?

1769
01:13:11,540 --> 01:13:13,280
S1: Don't talk to me about that. I was I was

1770
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,580
S1: so famously out on Joker one. I have no hopes

1771
01:13:16,580 --> 01:13:19,129
S1: for Joker two. Um, but I think at least that's

1772
01:13:19,150 --> 01:13:21,580
S1: something different. Like, it's a, it's an attempt to tell

1773
01:13:21,580 --> 01:13:24,850
S1: a slightly different story using the vehicle of like that

1774
01:13:24,850 --> 01:13:28,450
S1: IP property. I don't feel as anxious about that. I

1775
01:13:28,450 --> 01:13:31,630
S1: feel anxious about that for different like political reasons. Um, and,

1776
01:13:31,630 --> 01:13:33,700
S1: you know, the rise of the incel and where we're

1777
01:13:33,700 --> 01:13:37,180
S1: all going. Um, but I don't feel as grim as

1778
01:13:37,180 --> 01:13:39,189
S1: I do about Deadpool and Wolverine.

1779
01:13:39,189 --> 01:13:41,290
S2: Yeah, I think that's fair. I mean, I think that's

1780
01:13:41,290 --> 01:13:44,600
S2: why Batman, I've always enjoyed Batman because he's not actually,

1781
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,120
S2: he doesn't actually have any superpowers, right? He's just he's

1782
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,730
S2: got a lot of tech knowledge. He's rich. Um, yeah.

1783
01:13:49,729 --> 01:13:52,490
S2: He's rich. I guess that is a superpower. But, um, yes,

1784
01:13:52,490 --> 01:13:55,850
S2: the less these shows have to do with superheroes and superpowers,

1785
01:13:55,850 --> 01:13:57,620
S2: the more I tend to like them.

1786
01:13:57,620 --> 01:14:00,439
S1: Do you have any desire, Mel, after this one, to

1787
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:04,189
S1: watch any future, either Deadpool or Wolverine or Marvel projects?

1788
01:14:04,189 --> 01:14:04,400
S4: No.

1789
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,530
S2: Absolutely not. I'm well off Ryan Reynolds, even though he

1790
01:14:07,530 --> 01:14:10,530
S2: saved that football team. Hugh Jackman I've always been kind

1791
01:14:10,530 --> 01:14:12,870
S2: of out on. So no, not a huge fan. This

1792
01:14:12,870 --> 01:14:14,790
S2: has actually been quite reaffirming for me. Like, I was

1793
01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:17,160
S2: worried when I watched it that maybe my cultural history

1794
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,350
S2: was limited and that I kind of I was out

1795
01:14:19,350 --> 01:14:22,710
S2: of touch with the out of touch with, you know,

1796
01:14:22,710 --> 01:14:25,259
S2: people who love these movies. But now I feel with

1797
01:14:25,260 --> 01:14:27,510
S2: the common man. But now I just feel like.

1798
01:14:27,660 --> 01:14:27,840
S4: You.

1799
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,360
S1: Mentioned you mentioned juggernaut before. Like, did you have any

1800
01:14:30,390 --> 01:14:33,309
S1: history with him? Would you watch a standalone juggernaut film?

1801
01:14:33,310 --> 01:14:34,600
S2: Yeah, I mean, I'd give that a go in the

1802
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:35,890
S2: right circumstances.

1803
01:14:36,460 --> 01:14:38,170
S1: Oh, that's I mean, that's that's big of you. Good.

1804
01:14:38,170 --> 01:14:39,070
S1: Good on you for being up for it.

1805
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:40,810
S2: I'm open to these things.

1806
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,460
S1: How about you, Thomas? I feel like you're like, a

1807
01:14:42,460 --> 01:14:44,559
S1: little bit more plugged in to Marvel stuff. Are you

1808
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,220
S1: at all excited about the future of what is literally

1809
01:14:48,220 --> 01:14:52,210
S1: the biggest cinema project in the history of humanity?

1810
01:14:52,210 --> 01:14:55,150
S3: If we get a Gambit movie starring Channing Tatum because.

1811
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:56,599
S1: Oh, we didn't talk about Channing. That was.

1812
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:57,860
S3: Funny. That was very funny. And I don't know if

1813
01:14:57,860 --> 01:14:59,600
S3: you have the context, but that was basically a character

1814
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:00,830
S3: that he worked on for a long time, and they

1815
01:15:00,830 --> 01:15:02,809
S3: nearly got a film going, and then it fell over.

1816
01:15:02,810 --> 01:15:03,980
S4: I figured, yeah, um.

1817
01:15:03,979 --> 01:15:05,690
S3: And I thought he kind of stole the movie a

1818
01:15:05,689 --> 01:15:07,070
S3: bit there. That was a very funny scene.

1819
01:15:07,070 --> 01:15:09,019
S1: But okay, so don't you think so? I thought, I

1820
01:15:09,020 --> 01:15:10,400
S1: think he's very funny. I thought he was very funny

1821
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,950
S1: in this, but even that. So Gambit is this guy

1822
01:15:12,950 --> 01:15:15,530
S1: from south Louisiana, and he's got that kind of, like,

1823
01:15:15,530 --> 01:15:18,950
S1: New Orleans accent really hammed up. And Channing Tatum is like,

1824
01:15:18,950 --> 01:15:22,150
S1: taking the piss out of it. Basically. It's like, again, man,

1825
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:23,800
S1: if you care about these characters, if you're trying to

1826
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,410
S1: make this for people who care about stuff, you're kind

1827
01:15:26,410 --> 01:15:29,110
S1: of making a joke of it like nothing's left. That

1828
01:15:29,110 --> 01:15:31,690
S1: is sincere. I feel so weird. I'm getting so passionate

1829
01:15:31,689 --> 01:15:34,720
S1: about what they're doing to characters like Gambit. But I

1830
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,600
S1: enjoyed Channing Tatum in the movie. But then again, I

1831
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,530
S1: think about what statement they're making, about how much they

1832
01:15:41,530 --> 01:15:43,400
S1: actually care about this stuff. And I get a bit

1833
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:44,540
S1: sad again. Yeah.

1834
01:15:44,780 --> 01:15:46,519
S3: Is it I mean, what's the what's the give us

1835
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:48,320
S3: the temp check on the Marvel heads on Reddit. Like,

1836
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:49,460
S3: are people pretty upset?

1837
01:15:49,460 --> 01:15:52,070
S1: No, no, people love this. People love this. People think

1838
01:15:52,070 --> 01:15:55,129
S1: that after the last few Marvel movies, um, like the

1839
01:15:55,130 --> 01:15:58,040
S1: marvels that were just not good and kind of confused

1840
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,820
S1: that this was relatively tight. Like, I think the story

1841
01:16:01,820 --> 01:16:04,099
S1: is obviously ludicrous. Like, it kind of doesn't really make

1842
01:16:04,100 --> 01:16:06,560
S1: any sense. But in terms of just like we're getting

1843
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,890
S1: some funny characters together to have a fun time and

1844
01:16:08,890 --> 01:16:10,629
S1: we're going to make a bunch of in-jokes for you

1845
01:16:10,630 --> 01:16:14,799
S1: nerds to laugh at. People love that. My my sort

1846
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:19,360
S1: of cynicism and depressed nature around it, I think, just

1847
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,600
S1: comes from a more broader place of like where cinema

1848
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:27,400
S1: is going and the the cynicism of studios like Disney

1849
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,670
S1: making jokes about corporate mergers and whatever. I Yeah, that's

1850
01:16:31,670 --> 01:16:33,590
S1: where it comes from. Marblehead's really like this, and I

1851
01:16:33,590 --> 01:16:36,740
S1: think it's probably breathed a bit of life into the franchise.

1852
01:16:36,740 --> 01:16:40,190
S1: I think this movie doing well, reminding people that superhero

1853
01:16:40,189 --> 01:16:43,309
S1: movies can kind of be fun, the Robert Downey Jr stuff.

1854
01:16:43,310 --> 01:16:46,370
S1: People are excited about the future of Marvel, so unfortunately,

1855
01:16:46,370 --> 01:16:48,469
S1: we're probably gonna have to talk about it more over

1856
01:16:48,470 --> 01:16:49,790
S1: ensuing months and years.

1857
01:16:49,790 --> 01:16:51,470
S2: But before we wrap up, can you tell me why

1858
01:16:51,470 --> 01:16:53,179
S2: his face looks like that?

1859
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,460
S3: He got he got into an accident.

1860
01:16:56,030 --> 01:16:56,809
S4: Okay. Yeah.

1861
01:16:57,050 --> 01:16:58,130
S1: Looks like acid burns or something.

1862
01:16:58,340 --> 01:16:58,550
S3: Yeah.

1863
01:16:58,610 --> 01:16:59,780
S4: Okay. All right. Yeah.

1864
01:16:59,780 --> 01:17:05,510
S1: All right. Let's leave that there. Hopefully for a long time. Um,

1865
01:17:05,510 --> 01:17:08,450
S1: before we finish up, we've got our regular Impress Your

1866
01:17:08,450 --> 01:17:11,689
S1: Friends segment where we share something that we watched, read,

1867
01:17:11,689 --> 01:17:14,750
S1: listened to, or consumed in the world of pop culture.

1868
01:17:14,750 --> 01:17:17,540
S1: I'm going to go first. Quick little film shout out

1869
01:17:17,540 --> 01:17:20,070
S1: from me. It's a movie called How to Make Millions

1870
01:17:20,070 --> 01:17:24,089
S1: Before Grandma Dies. It is a Thai family drama directed

1871
01:17:24,090 --> 01:17:29,700
S1: by debut filmmaker Pat Bonaparte, and it's doing gangbusters in Thailand,

1872
01:17:29,700 --> 01:17:32,939
S1: a big blockbuster hit there and across Southeast Asia. The

1873
01:17:32,939 --> 01:17:35,460
S1: movie is about a uni dropout who offers to take

1874
01:17:35,460 --> 01:17:38,970
S1: care of his terminally ill grandmother, but then his family

1875
01:17:38,970 --> 01:17:42,630
S1: realize he's only doing it so he can swindle her inheritance.

1876
01:17:42,630 --> 01:17:46,410
S1: It's great. It's kind of darkly funny, also very sad

1877
01:17:46,410 --> 01:17:49,740
S1: and tragic at moments, but very heartwarming. Uh, it's an

1878
01:17:49,740 --> 01:17:52,260
S1: ode to grandparents, right? We love grandparents. They're very important.

1879
01:17:52,260 --> 01:17:54,900
S1: They play a great role in our lives. The grandmother

1880
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:58,710
S1: in this film is played by Usha Kumkum. She's 78

1881
01:17:58,710 --> 01:18:01,530
S1: years old. It's her first ever film and she is

1882
01:18:01,530 --> 01:18:04,320
S1: just astonishing. It's in cinemas now. I don't know if

1883
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,290
S1: this will be like a best foreign, uh, or best

1884
01:18:07,290 --> 01:18:10,889
S1: non-English Oscar film, but it could be like it's it's

1885
01:18:10,890 --> 01:18:13,890
S1: getting quite a bit of critical acclaim. It's a really fun,

1886
01:18:13,890 --> 01:18:16,679
S1: heartwarming film. Could not recommend.

1887
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:17,460
S4: It. I might go and.

1888
01:18:17,460 --> 01:18:20,520
S2: Watch this to cleanse my soul of Deadpool and Twisted.

1889
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:21,150
S4: Yeah, yeah, it's good.

1890
01:18:21,150 --> 01:18:23,670
S1: To watch something like this after Deadpool because you're like, oh,

1891
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:25,380
S1: cinema can be.

1892
01:18:25,380 --> 01:18:26,010
S4: Good.

1893
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,469
S2: Well, also, and I'll tell you my rec. But one

1894
01:18:28,470 --> 01:18:30,299
S2: thing I did, because you've been talking about it so

1895
01:18:30,300 --> 01:18:33,400
S2: much and I obviously trust your taste very much. I

1896
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,490
S2: went and started industry, and I'm sure we'll probably talk

1897
01:18:36,490 --> 01:18:39,790
S2: about it when we get to season three, but I

1898
01:18:39,790 --> 01:18:42,550
S2: like I thought it was it is so good the

1899
01:18:42,550 --> 01:18:44,620
S2: first season. And I kind of went into this thing

1900
01:18:44,620 --> 01:18:47,590
S2: thinking about Lena Dunham and whether her connection to that

1901
01:18:47,590 --> 01:18:50,740
S2: project really harmed it at the time. But anyway, so

1902
01:18:50,740 --> 01:18:52,150
S2: I just want to say that I'm on board. I'm

1903
01:18:52,150 --> 01:18:54,340
S2: trying to catch up. So, um, have you watched it?

1904
01:18:54,340 --> 01:18:55,120
S4: Thomas? I've watched the first.

1905
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:56,190
S3: Season, but I want to get back into it. I

1906
01:18:56,189 --> 01:18:57,870
S3: feel like people are kind of really clinging on to

1907
01:18:57,870 --> 01:18:59,670
S3: industry right now as the new show.

1908
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,520
S1: Yeah, it starts in, uh, a week, I think. And

1909
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,889
S1: there's a lot of hype kit Harington's in this season.

1910
01:19:04,890 --> 01:19:07,320
S1: Two is great. I'm really glad. Mel, thanks for jumping

1911
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:07,530
S1: on board.

1912
01:19:07,530 --> 01:19:08,969
S2: Yeah, yeah it's great. One of the best shows I've

1913
01:19:08,970 --> 01:19:11,850
S2: kind of seen in a while. Um, my rec is

1914
01:19:11,850 --> 01:19:13,830
S2: and this is kind of I think there's a trend

1915
01:19:13,830 --> 01:19:17,250
S2: in literature of brat women at the moment. Um, you

1916
01:19:17,250 --> 01:19:21,360
S2: kind of got all fours. Miranda. July night bit. Vladimir.

1917
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,480
S2: These are kind of women who don't just accept motherhood,

1918
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:28,590
S2: middle age, wifedom they kind of are breaking out of boxes.

1919
01:19:28,590 --> 01:19:30,720
S2: And I think this one fits into that category. It's

1920
01:19:30,750 --> 01:19:34,050
S2: woo woo by Ella Baxter. She is a Melbourne writer.

1921
01:19:34,050 --> 01:19:36,269
S2: This is her second book. Her first book was called

1922
01:19:36,270 --> 01:19:39,060
S2: New Animal, and she was one of the best young

1923
01:19:39,060 --> 01:19:41,759
S2: Australian novelists of the year. The prize that the Herald

1924
01:19:41,970 --> 01:19:45,970
S2: gives out, this one is about an artist called Sabine.

1925
01:19:45,970 --> 01:19:48,820
S2: In the lead up to her first solo exhibition at

1926
01:19:48,820 --> 01:19:53,590
S2: a gallery, and she kind of descends into chaos when

1927
01:19:53,590 --> 01:19:56,559
S2: she discovers that she's being stalked. She's this man in

1928
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,650
S2: her garden. He leaves her letters, he comes into her house, um,

1929
01:20:00,100 --> 01:20:05,530
S2: but she seeks to take revenge by almost pursuing the pursuer. Um, and,

1930
01:20:05,530 --> 01:20:07,740
S2: you know, it's kind of wild and wacky, but you're

1931
01:20:07,740 --> 01:20:11,820
S2: left questioning whether that's the only sane response to what

1932
01:20:11,820 --> 01:20:15,210
S2: she's going through. Um, it's a really good read, and

1933
01:20:15,210 --> 01:20:18,000
S2: it's also based on the author's own experience of being

1934
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,820
S2: stalked as well. So she wrote it while she was

1935
01:20:20,820 --> 01:20:23,700
S2: having that, um, having that experience. So it's really kind

1936
01:20:23,700 --> 01:20:26,250
S2: of ripples with life. But, um, yeah, I think a

1937
01:20:26,250 --> 01:20:28,140
S2: good a good new Australian read for the list.

1938
01:20:28,170 --> 01:20:29,850
S1: Great. And before Thomas says it, yeah, I'm seeing a

1939
01:20:29,850 --> 01:20:32,140
S1: lot of people on Instagram share it around.

1940
01:20:32,140 --> 01:20:34,150
S3: So I've been trying to get it off your desk, but.

1941
01:20:34,150 --> 01:20:34,900
S4: You're refusing to.

1942
01:20:34,900 --> 01:20:36,820
S3: Give it to me. So yeah, I read New Animal

1943
01:20:36,820 --> 01:20:39,340
S3: and really liked it. Um, that's a crazy story based

1944
01:20:39,340 --> 01:20:41,230
S3: on a real story of a guy running like an

1945
01:20:41,229 --> 01:20:44,290
S3: illegal zoo on his property. Um, so, yeah, I will

1946
01:20:44,290 --> 01:20:47,650
S3: be definitely keen for that. Uh, my wreck this week

1947
01:20:47,650 --> 01:20:50,769
S3: is a good one, because I have impeccable taste and

1948
01:20:50,770 --> 01:20:53,080
S3: my finger on the pulse. It is a show that

1949
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:57,019
S3: comes out today. Uh. it's on binge. And I don't

1950
01:20:57,020 --> 01:20:58,370
S3: know if you guys are across this because it's like

1951
01:20:58,370 --> 01:21:01,189
S3: fucking both in your wheelhouse, Mr. Throwback.

1952
01:21:01,220 --> 01:21:03,500
S1: Yeah, I am across this. I've not seen it, but

1953
01:21:03,500 --> 01:21:05,090
S1: I'm across it. I'm excited for it.

1954
01:21:05,090 --> 01:21:06,860
S3: It's really good, man. So are you across this?

1955
01:21:06,860 --> 01:21:08,240
S2: I'm I'm across it. But yeah.

1956
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,360
S3: Not so. Mr. throwback is basically a mockumentary starring, um,

1957
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,360
S3: Steph Curry, not Stephen Curry. The Australian from you should know.

1958
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,760
S2: That I did ask for an interview and they replied.

1959
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:17,150
S4: And they.

1960
01:21:17,150 --> 01:21:18,860
S2: Said, he's at the Olympics right now. And I'm like,

1961
01:21:18,860 --> 01:21:20,490
S2: I know, but after.

1962
01:21:20,970 --> 01:21:21,480
S4: But yeah.

1963
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:25,650
S3: Basically, um, Steph Curry plays himself. Uh, and Adam Pally,

1964
01:21:25,650 --> 01:21:26,580
S3: who I don't know if you guys ever know. Do

1965
01:21:26,580 --> 01:21:29,520
S3: you ever watch Happy Endings? It was actually quite a good, um, show.

1966
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,400
S3: It was like basically like the mid 20 tens answer

1967
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:36,120
S3: to friends. Anyway, Adam Pally plays this guy Danny Grossman. Uh,

1968
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,429
S3: and in the sixth grade, he and Steph Curry were

1969
01:21:38,430 --> 01:21:40,830
S3: best friends. And they were both really good at basketball.

1970
01:21:40,830 --> 01:21:44,200
S3: But Adam's character, Danny was like the better one. And

1971
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,300
S3: so he was on the path to superstardom in year six.

1972
01:21:46,300 --> 01:21:48,910
S3: And then obviously his best friend becomes is Steph Curry

1973
01:21:48,910 --> 01:21:50,890
S3: and becomes one of the greatest basketballers of all time.

1974
01:21:50,979 --> 01:21:53,710
S3: And then we cut to the future. And basically Danny

1975
01:21:53,710 --> 01:21:58,120
S3: is running a memorabilia store called Mr. Throwback and you know,

1976
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,549
S3: it's in trouble financially. And so he reaches out to

1977
01:22:00,550 --> 01:22:04,480
S3: his one time childhood best friend Steph, to help him out. And,

1978
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,520
S3: you know, on their first meeting, he steals his game

1979
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,240
S3: day jersey. And the story kind of picks up from

1980
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:11,179
S3: there as as they reconnect and, you know, like involve

1981
01:22:11,180 --> 01:22:13,400
S3: in each other's lives. It's very funny. Um, it's like,

1982
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,549
S3: got that mockumentary thing. Steph Curry is very, like, annoyingly

1983
01:22:16,550 --> 01:22:18,560
S3: funny as well as being so good at basketball. Damn

1984
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,030
S3: not fair, not fair.

1985
01:22:20,030 --> 01:22:21,410
S2: He's wonderful.

1986
01:22:21,410 --> 01:22:22,250
S3: Ah, but you're one of.

1987
01:22:22,250 --> 01:22:24,200
S1: The best footballers in Australia, and you're also very.

1988
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,400
S4: Funny. So that is.

1989
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,680
S3: Actually. Yeah, I mean, I mean, there's so few of

1990
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,620
S3: us and it's just it's good to see another guy

1991
01:22:30,620 --> 01:22:32,530
S3: out there grinding. But yeah, it's I think you guys

1992
01:22:32,530 --> 01:22:35,170
S3: will really enjoy it. And, um. Yeah, that's on binge. Uh,

1993
01:22:35,170 --> 01:22:38,080
S3: I think episode week by week. And it's out today. Great.

1994
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,570
S1: Rex look at that. A great film, a great book,

1995
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,720
S1: a great TV show. What what more do you want? Really? Yeah.

1996
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,179
S3: What more? Australia's best three by three basketball.

1997
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:51,430
S1: Uh, awesome conversation team. Good luck. Enjoy the rest of

1998
01:22:51,430 --> 01:22:53,200
S1: the Olympics. I will see you next week.
