1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Great per flick with benha.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: I actually got I'm actually too busy seeing movies. They

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: are all late at night. All the movies happen at nighttime.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: So I can't I can't be breakfast radio. You won't

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: be here at five thro or six o'clock any no, no,

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: but look it is it is a great tragedy that

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: you are leaving us clzy. Yet we still seem to

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: be subjected to Liam Neeson movies. Oh my god, put

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: that guy out to pasture. Sorry so, but it's really

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: like once like I love Liam Neeson once upon a time,

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 2: Like I think he's probably twenty years past his use

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: by date in the last But if anything, the older

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: he gets, the more movies, it doesn't make it look

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: doesn't he is prolific. I would say in the last

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: ten years he's made over twenty movies. Every single one

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: of them has been terrible.

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: He was on the on the farm and Who's trying

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: to save the farm shoots everybody.

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: Every movie is basically the same plot. Someone he loves

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: is taken away from him, and eventually it gets to

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: the point where it's like, you gotta look at yourself, mate,

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Why does this keep happening, I know, so anyway, so

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: he's hit so with Liam Neeson is now in a

24
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: comedic role in The Naked Gun. It's kind of like

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: a reboot. It's kind of like a.

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: Sea Felie Nielsen.

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: He's technically playing Frank Drebben's horse was made iconic by

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: Leslie Nielsen. He's playing Frank Dreben Junior, his son of

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 2: Frank Drebbond. But it's very similar to the Believe Brother

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 2: hang On was the original Naked Gun movie in nineteen

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: twenty eight. No, it's you know, there are some films

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: that you think, as soon as you think of them,

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: you can instantly picture the cover of the VHS in

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: the civic videos, and The Naked Gun in nineteen eighty

35
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: eight is one of those. Leslie Nilsen sort of surfing

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: the bullet through the guy when he's holding a police

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 2: ID and the gun. It is just you just picture

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: it straight away. And it was such a comedy. And

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: there was two films that came afterwards in the nineties

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: ninety one and ninety four I think that were also

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: commercially successful. Critically, they were pretty well received and certainly

42
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: by the fans. They were beloved because Leslie Nielsen is

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: Frank Dreben.

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: Nice faver having this stuff.

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: It was just joke after joke after joke, and the

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: films and the films were also they also featured O. J.

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: Simpson before he murdered two people, and so when it

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: was okay to laugh at him. But and you think,

49
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: surely knowes have an age very well, but you go

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: back and watch them and it's just basically, you know,

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: nineteen minutes of O. J. Simpson getting the absolute you

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: know what, getting beaten out of him, and.

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, good on it. I like it. You laugh, you

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: almost laugh even hard chair on the grand stand. Why

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: four there exactly?

56
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: Oh he does absolutely cop it. So this time around

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: Leslie Nielson, Leslie Wilson, Liam Neeson. It's hard to say

58
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: that both Liam Neeson plays Frank Dreben Junior, who very

59
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 2: similar kind of character, sort of a bumbling cop, sort

60
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: of classic sort of you know, sort of film noir vibes,

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: and he's got to solve this murder of this kind

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: of tech developer who worked for it, this tech guru

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 2: like Elon Musk electric vehicle kind of manufacturer who maybe

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: has you know, some kind of agenda to take over

65
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: the world, and the murder is linked to that, so

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: kind of like again, it's quite similar in plot to

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 2: the original film. And the sister of the guy who

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: dies played by Pamela Anderson. She's the classic fem fatale

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: damsel in distress sort of character. Which that set up

70
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: sounds fine, right like, that sounds okay, But the problem

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: comes in because Liam Neeson is just so ancient he

72
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: barely is able to talk in a way that you go,

73
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: what is he even saying right now? His voice is

74
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: so crotchety, his face.

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: Turned into clares his impersonation.

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: Look, I think now's the perfect time.

77
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: Let's hear bring me back my daughter. I will find

78
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: I will find you. I have a particular set of skills.

79
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: That's not bad.

80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: You've been practicing, honestly, honestly, that's better. That is that

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: sounds better.

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: Than did you play that from my eye and just

83
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: leave you?

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: I did you notice that I'm canny?

85
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: I'm actually shook by that, discombobulated to be honest, sorry,

86
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: and so yeah, and so like you remember Leslie Nielsen,

87
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: right like he could do so much with just like

88
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: one cocked eyebrow, like a character would say something and

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: he'd be like yes, and you would be in stitches.

90
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: Not only can Liam Neeson not do that, his face

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: is in a grimace. He honestly looks like he's a corpse.

92
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: It's like a weekend at Bernie's kind of situation. And

93
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 2: then you've got Pamela Anderson as his love interest. And look, Pammy,

94
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: I love her, and she's had a bit of a

95
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: renaissance in recent yas, but if we're being honest, she's

96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: never really the best actor.

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: Like she's not.

98
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: I don't know that was acting, and I'm not sure

99
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: which bits of our actor anyway, and so so she's

100
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: not great. Liam Neeson is not great, and they're the

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: center of the film. And so then you've really got

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: nothing that you're enjoying as you're watching it. And the jokes,

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: you know, you'd think, how hard is it to get

104
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: some naked gun jokes? Even though we live in a

105
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: more politically correct time, you can still there's plenty of

106
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: slapstick humor opportunities, but they're not funny because the guys,

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: the guys who wrote this movie, right, do you know

108
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: what the biggest achievement on their resumes is Chip and

109
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: Dale Rescue Rangers. Oh yeah, like, I'm not even joking you.

110
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: The guys who wrote Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers are

111
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: the people who wrote the Naked Gut and and it's

112
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: made even worse the strips and you know, nothing to

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: do with those Dales, and we're talking about the squirrels

114
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: and the squirrels and to make matters even worse. So

115
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: you got these guys who are probably a little bit

116
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: out of their depth. The producer is Seth McFarlane, the

117
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: guy who created The Family Guy MO So, I reckon,

118
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: I reckon. These two writers were trying to impress Seth McFarlane.

119
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: Sounds like so and so that some of the jokes

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: are honestly so crass and not crass in a kind

121
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: of naked Gun Leslie Nielsen funny way, crass in a Ted.

122
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: Way, Superfamily Guy way.

123
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and honestly I couldn't even repeat some of them

124
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: on this on this show.

125
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 4: Here's what I don't understand. Why do they keep trying

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: to remake really good movies remake crap movies? And then

127
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: you've got somewhere low to start with. Don't do things

128
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 4: like naked gun, don't touch flying high.

129
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: That about Leslie Nielsen, you just can't recreate that. You

130
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: can't because him just looking at it, you cannot, like,

131
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: maybe it's done. Maybe you could have Steve with Steve

132
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 3: Martin ten years ago, years ago.

133
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: Maybe, but like you need, you need a comedian, right,

134
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: Leslie Nielsen. His his brilliance was he was once like

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: a classic Hollywood leader. He was he's very handsome, and

136
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: then and then he evolved into this comic actor with

137
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: Flying High and then obviously then they good gun movies.

138
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: Liam Neeson, he's just not funny what he was in

139
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: Shindle's list. Yeah, but like honestly, Shindle's list was funny

140
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: than this wonderful.

141
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: All right, now closely, if you will, would you ask

142
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: Ben for a writing as Liam Neson plays, Then I.

143
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Know, my friend, you have a particular skill. How many

144
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,720

145
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god, for the two of them skills? All right,

146
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: Thank you Ben, thanks guys, and thank you thanks mate,
