Speaker 4: I think it's an eight episode first series and it's awesome,
Speaker 4: absolutely beautiful. Is it the one thing I will say
Speaker 4: about it. There's a couple of things, but the main
Speaker 4: thing for me is the cinematography is absolutely stunning. So
Speaker 4: it's filmed in Winnipeg in Canada, and honestly, just the
Speaker 4: way that they've set up some of the scenes and
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 3: Just a piece of art. Absolute It's like looking at
Speaker 3: a framed artwork.
Speaker 4: Some of the scenes. It's so beautiful. I love the
Speaker 4: seventy series as a little girl. This really is is
Speaker 4: much much deeper than that, and it's more beautiful than that.
Speaker 4: Of course, it's based on Laura Ingall's own books, A
Speaker 4: little Girl who grew up in Pioneer America, and now
Speaker 4: I actually I've never read the books.
Speaker 3: Now I want to go and read the book.
Speaker 1: He's a good looking rooster and the guy that plays.
Speaker 4: Australian, he's a thirty seven year for him, Luke Bracy.
Speaker 4: His name is Via Home and Away. I haven't seen
Speaker 4: much else. This is a real breakout role for him.
Speaker 4: He's absolutely stunning.
Speaker 1: He's a good looking guys.
Speaker 4: It's beautiful and you will love it goes far deeper
Speaker 4: into the story of Pioneer America and just land rights,
Speaker 4: things that you when you first saw the seventies series
Speaker 4: you didn't even think about this. This is beautifully made
Speaker 4: and I want to read the book. So Little House
Speaker 4: in the Prairie Number one on Netflix. The other thing.
Speaker 3: We did go and see the premiere of Mowana the
Speaker 3: other week.
Speaker 4: I really liked it. And again we've got an Australian
Speaker 4: in a lead role. So nineteen year old Katherine Leguia,
Speaker 4: who was Jay's daughter. I think one of about eight
Speaker 4: or nine kids. So acting's in her blood. Playschool, Yeah, rats,
Speaker 4: what else was he in Star Wars as well?
Speaker 3: That's rare.
Speaker 4: But she's beautiful, naturally effortless on the screen.
Speaker 3: She's going to be a big star.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the Rock Johnson in it. We had to google.
Speaker 1: In the cinema.
Speaker 4: Johnson because I said to Chris, do you reckon? Is
Speaker 4: this like cg CGI or is this his actual body?
Speaker 4: Because I wouldn't be surprised because Maui, the demi god
Speaker 4: he plays, is really bulked up.
Speaker 3: But he has got a special.
Speaker 4: Pesthetic suit on because he looked a bit wider in
Speaker 4: the waist and Chris is like, no, he's a bit
Speaker 4: badder in the waist.
Speaker 5: That's not the wrong.
Speaker 1: Mom always got a little bit.
Speaker 3: It's a forty pounds suit, this special suit.
Speaker 4: Where so Maui has all these tats that move throughout
Speaker 4: the story and it's been able to do that anyway,
Speaker 4: maw not Maui Moana very true to the original story.
Speaker 4: And how's this a nineteen year old girl making her
Speaker 4: film day Boo on a Disney film.
Speaker 1: That is crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's gorgeous, brilliant.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got some books and a very very very
Speaker 2: funny movie as in Screaming Out Loud We.
Speaker 1: Work at the weekend.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, a proper old fashioned comedy movie that's
Speaker 2: just relentlessly silly.
Speaker 1: They don't make them like that.
Speaker 2: There's not many great new comedy movies coming out anyway.
Speaker 1: First all, start the books.
Speaker 2: Anne Patchett is an author that my eldest daughter ruby.
Speaker 2: She loves an Patchett and so she's always recommending.
Speaker 1: Her new book. She's got a new book out called Whistler.
Speaker 2: He's got a beautiful, stunning front cover of this horse,
Speaker 2: the book I read in one go on the flight home,
Speaker 2: and one of the steward essays came up to me
Speaker 2: and when we are just saying, we've never seen someone
Speaker 2: read a book on long haul, and when I want
Speaker 2: to read this, I've got to read before I landed
Speaker 2: back in Melbourne. So I've got something to talk to
Speaker 2: my daughter about because she loves Anne Patching. It is incredible.
Speaker 2: I cannot recommend that book enough. Whistler is a beautiful,
Speaker 2: beautiful story, beautifully told the reason why she's one of
Speaker 2: the biggest. I think it's got over twenty thousand and
Speaker 2: five star reviews on Amazon. Wow, it's only been out
Speaker 2: like six weeks.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful horse. You're right, it's beautiful horse. And
Speaker 1: then if you are.
Speaker 2: I love the I love the essays of David Sadaris,
Speaker 2: very very funny author. He's got a new book out,
Speaker 2: The Land and Its People. It is outstanding. It's very
Speaker 2: very good. He's here actually again at the end of
Speaker 2: the year. I came to see him a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago when he was hearing he was brilliant, live,
Speaker 2: very very very good.
Speaker 1: And then the movie.
Speaker 2: Then, the funny movie is Little Brother Eric Andre and
Speaker 2: John Senia good Rio. I watched it with my youngest daughter,
Speaker 2: Lois at the weekend. I said, look, we'll give it
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. The trailer was. She was like, Dad, I
Speaker 2: think this is a youth thing. And I went, hey, listen,
Speaker 2: I believe John Cena makes great choices, and I like
Speaker 2: Eric Andre. We learn not watching the whole thing. We
Speaker 2: were literally double over screaming with laughter, relentlessly silly. Really really,
Speaker 2: that's a turn out of ten from both of us.
Speaker 1: Wow, Oh my god. It reminds me.
Speaker 2: Do you remember when peek Will Ferrell Old School and Command,
Speaker 2: just relentlessly funny, just playing for last. Every single scene
Speaker 2: not a wasted scene. It's chardish, puerile, and it's what's
Speaker 2: needed in the world right now.
Speaker 5: I'm so glad you told me that, because I wrote
Speaker 5: that up. I saw that went. I'm not watching that.

Speaker 5: to pick you up.
Speaker 1: You need a Why would you even mention it? I thought.
Speaker 5: This, I promise you, this will put you back in
Speaker 5: a great headspace. The Sheep Detective on Prime. I didn't
Speaker 5: know it was a real movie. I thought it was
Speaker 5: like an SNL sketch or something.
Speaker 1: Like especially brilliant. I saw a five out of five
Speaker 1: star review in The Guardian.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I watched it because I thought a bit like
Speaker 5: little watched it because I thought it'd be bad, but
Speaker 5: it was. It was brillian. The cast is Unbelievable's Jackman,
Speaker 5: Emma Thompson, Brian Cranston, Nicholas Braun, the guy from success
