You're looking at the greatest marketing campaign ever 15 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 2: for two movies that couldn't be any further apart man. 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 4: No, I would actually caution seeing them both, caution people 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 4: against trying to do the Barbenheimer like it will melt 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 4: your brain. That's a good idea so different. You can 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 4: see these back to back. I don't think you're going 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 4: to come out of it as sane person. No, so 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 4: different in tone and theme and style and quality. 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 5: They're not meant to be seen back to back. 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 3: The timing is incredib because even Tom Cruise, you know, 25 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: talking about his movie, was asked if he was which 26 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: one he'd see first, and he answered, you know that's 27 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 3: a sign, isn't it. 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 5: Tom must have been thrilled with that. Where do you 29 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 5: want to start? 30 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 7: Let's start with Openhelm that's good and deadly Toy. 31 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 4: Which I actually think is the best way. If you 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 4: were going to see them back to back, I would 33 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: see Oppenheimer first. I'll do the open bee. No one 34 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 4: really talks about the open want a fresh brain, Yeah, 35 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 4: you want a fresh I don't know if it's going 36 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 4: to catch up. We can try and we can try 37 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 4: and achieve that. But I think that's like Barbie, that's 38 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 4: the dessert. Have the sweet thing for dessert? 39 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 6: Right? 40 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 5: That makes moment one before the main meal, if you've 41 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 5: got room. 42 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, And Oppenheimer is an intense viewing experience. It comes 43 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 4: from British director Christopher Nolan, who we know is famous 44 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 4: for the genius for brain twisting movies, whether it's Tenant 45 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 4: or Memento. Dunkirk with its nonlinear storytelling into Stella. The 46 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 4: Dark Night trilogy were probably his most straightforward films, But 47 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: he really does make a habit of making movies that 48 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 4: cause you to think about the themes and they don't 49 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 4: kind of are really obvious. The plot unfolds in a 50 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 4: way that keeps you guessing. You jump forward and backward 51 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 4: in time, and that's certainly the case with Oppenheimer. So 52 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 4: it's about J. Robert Oppenheimer, of course, who's the American 53 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: theoretical physicist aka the father of the atomic bomb. He 54 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 4: led the Manhattan Project that staged the Trinity Test, which 55 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 4: was the world's first detonation of a nuclear weapon in 56 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: nineteen forty five. Three weeks later they drop one on Hiroshima. 57 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: Three days after that, they dropped it on Nagasaki. Hundreds 58 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 4: of thousands of people died. So we're talking about a 59 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: film that has really serious historical implications, like this is 60 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: a towering figure of the twentieth century and in the 61 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 4: movie is played by Irish actor Killian Murphy, who is 62 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 4: amazing from Picky Blinders. He also played Scarecrow in The 63 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 4: Dark Knight and so he's worked with Christopher Nolan for 64 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 4: he's amazing, like Killian Murphy will get serious Oscar buzz 65 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 4: for this performance. Because Oppenheimer was a very complicated dude. 66 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: The idea of him being responsible for, you know, sort 67 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 4: of the development of the atomic bomb and nuclear weapons, 68 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 4: I don't think ever really sat well with him. But 69 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: at the same time, he liked the accolades that came 70 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: with being a national hero, with being on the cover 71 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 4: of Time magazine, like a lot of really really smart, 72 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: like genius level people. I guess there's a bit of 73 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: narcissism involved. He was also a womanizer, so there's that 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: aspect to his character as well. And so we see 75 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 4: the women he loved, his wife Kitty played by Emily Blunt, 76 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 4: who gives a phenomenal performance as sort of his long 77 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: suffering wife, stuck at home raising the kids while he's off, 78 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: you know, saving the world from the Nazis. 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: And these were the celebrities of the day, huge, huge celebrities. 80 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 4: And then you've got his mistress, Gene played by Florence Pierre. 81 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 5: When did he have the time? 82 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 4: I know, I know, And she was a very complicated 83 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 4: woman as well, And so you've got that fascinating aspect. 84 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: But of course you've got this you know, sort of 85 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 4: all of the historical unpacking of the Manhattan Project. They 86 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: went into this remote desert based Los Alamos where they 87 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: developed it with the brightest minds in the world, you know, 88 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 4: Rico Fermi, Richard Feynman, all of these like superstar scientists 89 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: of the day, played in this film by a variety 90 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 4: of actors. Kenneth Branner plays Neil's bore and so this 91 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 4: is really really fascinating to see how it all came together. 92 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 4: But it's told in flashback form, really a set starting 93 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 4: at nineteen fifty nine, and this kind of senate confirmation 94 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 4: hearing of this blog that no Australians have ever really 95 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 4: heard of a businessman, philanthropist, former naval officer Lewis Strass 96 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 4: who's played by Robert Danny Judy in the kind of 97 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 4: like they've used like practical effects to make him look 98 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 4: like he's about sixty five really really effectively, and he's awesome. 99 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: And that part of the film is black and white, right, 100 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: so even though it's in the future, it's black and white. 101 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 4: When they go flash back to the past, it's in color, 102 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: which is a little bit weird. And basically anytime the 103 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 4: film is being told from Oppenheimer's perspective, it's in color. 104 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 4: Anytime it's anyone else's perspective, it's black and white. 105 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 7: Wow. 106 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 4: And so it creates this kind of aura around Oppenheimer, 107 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: which I think is like really adds to the drama. 108 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: The film is so tense. You've got this, like as 109 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 4: all Nolan films do, like this kind of like anxiety 110 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 4: inducing score and soundscape. In this case, it's kind of 111 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 4: like frequently got like almost like Geiger counter clicks going 112 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: just like in the background, shivers down his spine and 113 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 4: Killian Murphy's performances. Oppenheimer is very kind of intense as well, 114 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: Like he's a dude who doesn't necessarily say a lot, 115 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 4: but you see there's a lot going on inside his head, 116 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 4: and we sometimes see like glimpses of what he's thinking about, 117 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 4: which is kind of like these part calls smashing against 118 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 4: each other and explosions, and so it's like it's like 119 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 4: he never kind of really got over the idea of 120 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 4: nuclear power and the huge impact that it could have 121 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 4: on humanity, because in later life he actually protested against 122 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 4: the development of hydrogen bombs, which is kind of how 123 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 4: he became the enemy of the state kind of and 124 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 4: they suspected him of being a Soviet spy, which this 125 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: film touches on as well. So it's how he goes 126 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 4: from a national hero to then becoming the enemy of 127 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 4: the state and everything that sort of happens in between, 128 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 4: and who are his allies, who are his enemies? And 129 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 4: it's absolutely fascinating to watch how he was. You know, 130 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 4: I guess how America creates heroes and then you know, 131 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: punishes them villifies them, which is you know it really 132 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 4: wish for story and it's different to Dark Knight, right, 133 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 4: the whole thing about Christian Bale. You know, it's like, 134 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 4: you know, if you're a hero for long enough, you 135 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 4: know they'll come for you, basically the thing. 136 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is genius casting because killing has got 137 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: these wonderful face actor but he's got an incredible, very 138 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 3: different look as ye a lot. 139 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 5: Of restraints to his performance. 140 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 4: He looks like up and it's you know, like this 141 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: is this is one of the most Christopher Nolan films. 142 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: Like it's got all of the techniques that we know 143 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: and love from the director. It's not perfect, I have 144 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 4: to say, like there's there's like a lot of nudity 145 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: for Florence Pugh's character. That feels gratuitous, like honestly, for 146 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: such a for such a fine young actress, Like I 147 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 4: just don't know if it really serves the plot. It 148 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 4: just does not feel necessary. And there's a couple of characters, 149 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 4: small characters, and their motivation is significant but doesn't really 150 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 4: ring with authenticity and so, but they're really minor complaints. 151 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 4: This is this is a phenomenal piece of cinema and 152 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 4: you see it on the big screen and it is 153 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 4: extremely impressive. 154 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 7: Is it too long? It is? 155 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 5: It's an intermission. Put it this way. It is long. 156 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 5: It's like nearly three hours long. 157 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: I watched it though, So when I watched it, I 158 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 4: had to go home and do some work afterwards. And 159 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 4: I got out of the cinema and remarked to my partner, Oh, 160 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 4: it was only a thirty no worries, I'll get home 161 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 4: and do some work and. 162 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 5: She's like, no, it's nine to thirty. 163 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 4: So like I didn't actually realized it was an hour 164 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: longer than it was, because it's like I feel, if 165 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 4: if you're interested in the history, you get so engrossed 166 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: in how significant the moments are that you're watching depicted 167 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 4: on screen, it's easy to lose track of the time. 168 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 5: Okay, well that speaks volumes. 169 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 2: And now movie that has had the biggest, most successful, 170 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: I guess marketing campaign of movies I've seen in a 171 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: long time, the Barbie movie. 172 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 5: Bobby No, I haven't heard of it. 173 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 4: Global marketing campaign has really been unlike anything else, Like 174 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 4: you're talking like Star Wars kind of level marketing. And 175 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 4: I guess you could make the point why, like why 176 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 4: with so much money spent marketing a film it's about 177 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: a toy? Why this particular film and we'll look a 178 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 4: lot of it is about selling Barbie merchandisosaurs, Like the 179 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 4: film comes from Mattel's studios, Mattel Films, So you know, 180 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: there's a bit of invested deals, a bitvested interest. There's 181 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: a lot of third party licensing deals that have been 182 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 4: done to slap the Bargbi logo on literally everything. He 183 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 4: turned around and there was a Barbie logo on it. 184 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 4: But that's that's basically. It's everywhere at the moment, so ubiquitous. 185 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 4: And I think I had some Barbie brand for and 186 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people that were super pumped 187 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 4: about this film because Margo Robbie's casting as Barbie is brilliant, Like, 188 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 4: you know, it's the role she was born to play. 189 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: Ryan Gosling as Ken seems like it seems just amazing 190 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 4: as well. He's a very very beautiful man. And the 191 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 4: trailer kind of pitched it as this fun filled pink romp, 192 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 4: nothing too serious. Then you actually see the movie and 193 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 4: that's not what it is. Oh so it is humorless 194 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 4: and it is so so earnest. So imagine, imagine, I 195 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 4: guess being lectured by a high school student on feminism, 196 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 4: ideology and patriarchal patrio article systems of oppressure. That's what 197 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 4: it is like. That's that's like, it is more like 198 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 4: an academic lecture Arbie on gender roles and yeah, we're. 199 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 5: Talking about the dole that is responsible for. 200 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, well and this is the thing, right, So this 201 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 4: is why I think it does it. 202 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 5: More here about their bodies, yea, Why. 203 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 4: It doesn't sit so well with me because like Greta Gerwig, 204 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 4: who's a fantastic director behind behind like actual actual kind 205 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 4: of feminist masterpieces like Lady Bird, Little Women, Women remake 206 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: was brilliant, and then you've got it was co written 207 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 4: by Noah Bambach, who also is an incredible indie filmmaker. 208 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 4: He made Marriage Story with Adam Driver and Scarlet Johansen. 209 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 4: It was Oscar nominated. Yeah, Francis har that starred Greta 210 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 4: Gerwig Is is kind of like a feminist masterpiece as well. 211 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 4: And so these are legit filmmakers who can make really 212 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: nuanced statements. But with Barbie I Reckon, they've tried to 213 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 4: justify their involvement in such a low brow, mainstream commercial project. 214 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 4: So they've just laid it on so thick, and it 215 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 4: just doesn't make any sense because they've completely ignored the 216 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 4: fact that it's made by Mattel. The whole point of 217 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 4: the movie is to make money for Matel by selling 218 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: Barbie merch and Mattel wants to franchise it. They want 219 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: to make matchbox car movies. There's really not a lot 220 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 4: of artistic integrity to a project like this, but they've 221 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 4: tried to convince themselves and us. Yeah, totally, that's totally 222 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 4: what's going on here, and it comes at the expense 223 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 4: of making an entertaining movie, Like people will go in 224 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 4: here expecting to laugh and have fun and they'll come 225 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: away going was there even a joke in this movie. 226 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: Really yeah, it is like like the gags are like 227 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 4: a poor man's Zoolander imaginal, and that's kind of a 228 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 4: good that's kind of a good comparison for what Ryan 229 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 4: Gosling is doing. He's doing a Derek Zulander, only not 230 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 4: very funny or well. Like it's actually made me question 231 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 4: whether Ryan Gosling can even act. That's how bad he 232 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 4: is in this movie. And the talk that he could 233 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 4: be an Oscar contender is completely ridiculous, especially when you 234 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 4: can compaired to Killian Murphy and what he's doing Openheart Ras. 235 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: Do people even know what movies are? And which is 236 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 4: a shame because it didn't have to be like that. Like, 237 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of potential to a film 238 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 4: like this, And even Barbie Life in the dream House, 239 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 4: which is an animated series on Netflix which most people 240 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 4: probably would never even consider watching. 241 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 5: It's actually hilarious. Like I rate it very highly as 242 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 5: a kind. 243 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 4: Of a subversive kids show that makes some kind of 244 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: like legit statements, and it's not like the statements this 245 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 4: film makes a terrible like the Patriarchy does have a 246 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 4: lot of problems and there are a lot of companies 247 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 4: that are run by men in the C suite. But 248 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 4: none of this is revelatory, Like it's kind of stuff 249 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: that we've heard before, and the film doesn't make really 250 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 4: any new statements. It doesn't really bring any to the 251 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 4: table that makes you I've never thought about that before. 252 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: It's maysically like you're telling me stuff that I already 253 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 4: know over and over again, like they are like, I know, 254 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 4: twenty long monologues about why the patriarchy is terrible, and 255 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 4: like after the first one, it starts to get a 256 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 4: bit self indulgent, and I think that's a bit of 257 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 4: a shame. Margo Robbie, though I'm pleased to report, is phenomenal, 258 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: Like she's really fantastic. Like I don't maybe love everything 259 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 4: that she's done as much as some other people, but 260 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: this is one of the best performances of her career. 261 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 4: It shows good range, she's great at comedy. She's doing 262 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 4: a different accent, like she does that New Jersey kind 263 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 4: of thing whenever she does an American accent. 264 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 5: She's not doing it in this film, which. 265 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,599 Speaker 4: Is great to see of Wall Street and which is 266 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 4: kind of what she does in like Suicide Squad and everything. 267 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 5: But she's not doing that. She's really really good. 268 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 4: The America Ferrara is a Mattel employee gone rogue, who helps, 269 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 4: who helps? Margo's Barbie is really really good as well. 270 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 4: There's one superb gag by Helen Mirren as the narrator, 271 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 4: but who breaks the kind of fourth wall And when 272 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 4: Barbie is saying that she feels ugly, Helen Mirren comes 273 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 4: in and says, oh, note to the filmmaker, Margo, Robbie 274 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 4: is the wrong act at a cast if you're trying 275 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: to successfully make this point. And that's a moment of actual, genuine, 276 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 4: genuine humor, that's not taking itself too seriously. But the 277 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 4: rest of the film takes itself so seriously. And even 278 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 4: when it's kind of taking the mickey out of Mattel, 279 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 4: and there's a few jokes along those lines with Will 280 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 4: Ferrell as the kind of the bumbling CEO of the 281 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 4: Matel Corporation, it feels so forced because we all know 282 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: Mattel is the one laughing all the way to the bank. 283 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know, it's not to me, it's 284 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 4: not super successful. 285 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: Some people disappointed, Okay, it's time to range them. 286 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 5: However, you choose man. 287 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: Well, let's let's stick to the Barbenheimer and do Barbie first. Okay, 288 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 4: And so Barbie, as I said, was a bit disappointing. 289 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 4: I went in with high expectations. It was completely not 290 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 4: the fun movie that I expected, nor was it nearly 291 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 4: as intelligent and intellectual as it would like to think 292 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 4: that it is. And so but for Margo, who's great, 293 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 4: I'm going to give. 294 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 5: It a two and a half. Okay. 295 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, and we mentioned some disappointed faces early on. 296 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. 297 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 4: I don't bother taking anybody under twelve. They not understand, 298 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 4: like unless you want to explain to the more cognitive dissonances, 299 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: like I'm not even joking. 300 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 7: I take the whole movie to explain it. 301 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 4: And Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer. That's the other end of the spectrum. 302 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 4: This is what cinema should be. Should be seen on 303 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 4: the biggest screen possible. Filmed it in imax, so you 304 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 4: could really go as big as you want. Killian Murphy, 305 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 4: Legit Oscar contender amongst the cast that is all fantastic, 306 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 4: not perfect, but absolutely brilliant. Christopher Nolan has done it again. 307 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 4: I'm going to give this one four stars. 308 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 5: Four brilliant.

I had Barbie everything that 317 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: we didn't have.

This 679 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: is an amazing opportunity because the Beatles never actually played 680 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: the White Album live. I don't believe, but this is 681 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: our own supergroup, Phil Javison, Tim Rodgers, Josh Bike and 682 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: Chris Chaney and Chris joins us now, Hello, Chris Gras, 683 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: Hello are you?

How do you guys 687 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 2: put your own spin on it? 688 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,439 Speaker 11: It's a great question, because that's one of the things 689 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 11: that we said from the word go, is that it 690 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 11: wasn't necessarily just a tribute night. It's not like the 691 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 11: four of us are pretending to be John Paul. 692 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 6: Now. 693 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 5: I don't see that. 694 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 7: You see that. 695 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 11: The way it works is that we are the sort 696 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 11: of interchanging singers that you know, we're all allocated a 697 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 11: certain amount of songs because it's a double record, a 698 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 11: seventeen piece band behind us, and yeah, that just is 699 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 11: the incredible diversity and stuff on this record, so you 700 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 11: need that many people. But yeah, it's been one of 701 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 11: the great joys of my career actually, which is why 702 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 11: we're now doing it for the fourth time on this tour. 703 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 7: Coming back to it, ye mane of the songs in 704 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 7: order or do you just mix it up? 705 00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 5: No? 706 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 11: No, no, no, it's runs as the record does. It 707 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 11: even has the jet airplane at the beginning before back 708 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,399 Speaker 11: in the USS, so cool. Yeah, it's great because, as 709 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 11: you said, you know, people the Beatles never played this live, 710 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 11: and so the thing is we sort of try and 711 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 11: bring our own interpretation vocally to it, and I think 712 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 11: we put our own kind of stamp on it, but 713 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 11: we don't obviously don't remove it from what it was. 714 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 11: But it's not us pretending to sing like John Lennon, 715 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 11: you know, And so it's been so successful I think 716 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 11: because of that reason. It's not just a covers band. 717 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 11: It's actually got this it's a whole show. So looking 718 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 11: forward to it. 719 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 5: It's a moment, as the kids say. 720 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 2: Chris, you mentioned the diversity of the songs on the album, 721 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 2: and it was, as we know, written during that transcendental 722 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 2: meditation period with the Maharishi, which I feel as though 723 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: all of the Beatles interpreted in their own way that 724 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 2: obviously affected had an influence on what became the White Album. 725 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,479 Speaker 11: I guess it did. I mean, it's sort of it's 726 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 11: sort of the sound of a band splintering. You know, 727 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 11: they were recording a few things on their own, different studios, 728 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 11: but obviously still sounds like the Beatles no matter what 729 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 11: they sort of did, even if they recorded some parts separately. 730 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 11: But I mean, it's every record they ever did is incredible. 731 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 11: But the diversity on this one in particular is kind 732 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 11: of is staggering, really like Blackbird and then it's got 733 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 11: things over Happiness is. 734 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 7: A warm gun. 735 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 11: It shows from very very minimal to just you know, 736 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 11: really really beautiful too, things like good night right at 737 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 11: the end, which is sort of ringos La La Bay, 738 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 11: and it's just got it all. 739 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 7: Have you ever met a beetle? 740 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 11: I have, actually, yeah.
