1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Great to flick with Ben Oshe Good morning, Ben, Good

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: morning guys. When the weather turns horrible like this and

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: it's stormy at night, is there anything better than cozying

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: up on the couch under a rug and watching a

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: horror movie? So good, you had me into a horror

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: movie watching a movie. Well, there are some people who

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: can't get enough of that sort of stuff, and they

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: will be flocking to the cinema this week to see

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: Long Legs, which is the movie that everybody is talking about.

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Packet Ben. Oh, huge surprise hit at the US box

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: office when it opened last weekend. So the film cost

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: a a couple of million dollars to make, so extremely

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: low budget, not very much at all, And it stars

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage, so he's a big name, but pretty much

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: nobody else in the cast you would recognize, okay, And

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: so it opened last weekend in America against fly Me

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: to the Moon. The Moon, the movie with Channing Tatum

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: and Scarlett Johansson and Ray Romano cost one hundred million

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: dollars to make that soul so and Long Legs made

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: twice as much money in the box office. Oh wow,

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: the tongue is working in Hollywood. Oh yeah, so it made.

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: It made something like thirty three million dollars in it's

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: opening weekend, and so it's the talk of Tinseltown right now.

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: And it probably belongs now in the same category as

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: some of those other surprise indie hits, like indie horror

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: hits like the Blair Witch Project and Saw the First

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Saw movie when that came out and no one knew

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: anything about it, So there's a paranormal activity. You know,

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: there are these horror movies that come out of nowhere

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: do really well at the box office on you know,

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: they've made on the smell of an oily rag. But

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about this movie is Nicholas Cage has

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: done something that he's never done before in his career.

34
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: He hasn't been Nicholas Cage because you know how in

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: every movie, it doesn't matter if it's a comedy, an action, blockbuster,

36
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: a romance, he's always Nick Cage. And that was kind

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: of that was kind of like taking the mickey out

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: of in his movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Yes,

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: where it was like, you know, he's just so Nicholas

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Cage in this movie. He's unrecognizable in facial prosthetics, he's

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: got long hair, and he's behaving in a way you

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: like this. So he's kind of channeled Mark Bolan from

43
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: t ren if you can imagine, like that, sort of

44
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: Mark Bowl and glam Rocker from the seventies crossedwit Annibal

45
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: Lecter Sinister Mate. So he's found the middle ground in

46
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: between those two. And so he plays this this character

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: Long Legs, who is being investigated by the FBI the

48
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: suspected involvement in a series of murders. Entire families being murdered,

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: and it looks like the dad in each family is

50
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: the one who's committed the murder, but they think that

51
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage's Long Legs is somehow involved because there are

52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: these mysterious notes left at the scene. And the person

53
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: leading the investigation is this young woman from the FBI

54
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: who has clairvoyant abilities. And so as this investigation unfolds,

55
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: which does give silence of the Lamb vibes for sure,

56
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: you get closer and closer to solving the mystery, and

57
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: things get a little bit more supernatural as it goes,

58
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: and it's extremely creepy. Nick Cage one of the creepiest

59
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: villains that you see on the big screen all year

60
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: and probably from the last five years. Like he it

61
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: chills up my mind just just thinking about just thinking

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: about his afformance. He's amazing in this. Unfortunately, from the

63
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: film's perspective, that's the best bit. The actress who plays

64
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: this FBI agent, know, it's easy to compare her to

65
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: Jodie Foster, very similar kind of thing, and no clarice.

66
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: She's just really not as good. She kind of goes

67
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: into the Kristen Stewart category of acting. We just kind

68
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: of purse your lips and look like you've sucked on

69
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: a lemon. And so it's you know, she's she's not amazing,

70
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: and the rest of the cast they're okay. The cinematography

71
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: is fantastic. It's a haunting film, there's no doubt about that.

72
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: The dread just builds and builds and builds. The ending,

73
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: like a lot of these types of movies, you know,

74
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: probably doesn't quite get to where it needs to, and

75
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: you're sort of left thinking about how great Nicholas Cage was.

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: But then when you start thinking about the plot, you realize, well,

77
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: hang in a minute, did that actually make any sense?

78
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: So there's probably a plot that hard, Yeah, especially when

79
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: they've got like a complicated supernatural element as well, and

80
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: they kind of rely on the audience just accepting things

81
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: like you know, this thing that has power over people.

82
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: You just have to accept it. Don't ask why, don't

83
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: ask for any deeper explanation. You're not going to get it.

84
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: You just have to accept. That's how it is. They

85
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: are hard, the least to say, because every part of

86
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: the genre has been explored, so it's hard to shock

87
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: people now. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And like people are

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: talking about this is like one of the scariest movies

89
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: of all time. It's definitely not that. And you know

90
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: that it's getting a lot of hype right now. It's

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: probably not as good as the hype, but in terms

92
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: of a really interesting movie with an incredible performance by

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage, this is definitely one that ticks a lot

94
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: of boxes from that perspective and fun fact, directed by

95
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Oz Perkins, who played dorkie David in Legally Blonde. Oh

96
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: look him up, you remember him straight away? All right, Well,

97
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: how many legs has it got? I'm almost scared your

98
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: framed it like that. I'm almost skeared to say the

99
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: number three legs three. Okay, it's not quite a spider

100
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Jake the bed say that long legs. Yeah, true. Thank you,

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Ben Good on your bed. Thank guys,
