26
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 5: who it is Universal Warner Brothers who makes Wicked?

27
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: Maybe Universal?

28
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 5: No other of their properties has made more money than

29
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 5: Wicked has. And it was only because a guy wanted

30
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 5: to write the musical for it, and he went like

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: looked it up and saw that Universal owns the rights

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 5: to it. This this idea of a prequel to Wizard

33
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 5: of Oz, and they weren't doing anything with it. He's

34
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 5: begged and begged them to make the musical and they're like,

35
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,600

103
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: well known, well known people Conan O'Brien, Bruce Springsteen, all

104

108
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: see him in the short saying My God. He came out.

109
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: He was like the most beautiful man that you've ever seen.

110
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: He did look beautiful in that sixty eight comeback.

111
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 3: Specially well, why was the comeback so big?

112
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Because he's been written off he was he's sort of

113
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: become a bit laughable with all those really bad movies,

114
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: and so the music industry was changing and he was

115
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: looking a bit outdated. It was towards the seventies. Yeah,

116
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: and suddenly he was mainstream. He wasn't cool anymore, and

117
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: then he did something it was really spectacular and cool.

118
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a defining moment for Elvis because even

119
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: the Colonel when they were organizing that, that was actually

120
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 4: a Christmas special, the sixty eight comeback, and the Colonel

121
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 4: wanted him to wear you know, like this Rudolph knitted

122
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: jumper and the whole.

123
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: Cheating as leaning to or he was trying to move

124
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: away from. And they had a big falling out because

125
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: that's actually incredibly edgy what he did.

126
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: It was, and the song if I Could Dream it

127
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: was a political statement. It was a defining moment for Elvis.

128
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 4: So brilliant doco.

129
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,240

Speaker 3: A meat thermometer.

143
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: I know you do, yes, several I go.

144
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 5: It was actually Andy Lee who told me that you

145
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 5: can get ones that a Wi Fi and the smoker.

146
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: You used it last week. Yeah, smoking for nine hours.

147
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: You have to do two or three things where you

148
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: rotate it when it gets a certain internal temperature.

149
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: For me, it's this one's called the bb i Q

150
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 5: and it does work. You can links up to your

151
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 5: phone and you see what temperature.

152
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: I've got the thermo pen If anyone is interested, it's

153
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: an orange one.

154
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 5: It's the barbecue. I just thought it was overkilled. The

155
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 5: normal thermometer works, you shove it in straight away. This

156
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 5: one you have to load up, get the app out.

157
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 5: It's loading, it's loading. And then also, stupidly, the first

158
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 5: time I used it, I thought you could just because

159
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: it's got plastic around it on the end. I thought

160
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 5: you could just grab it with your fingers.

161
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Yourself. It's being branded so hot. I don't know why

162
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: I thought you could just I've done that, yeah, or

163
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: grab the wire off and before in the smoker. That

164
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: thing you can leave it in the smoker for nine hours.

165
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: One of the things that like three hundred degrees you

166
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: touched that you will scream, actually heard singing.

167
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: That's what happened to me this week.

168
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, double thumbs up for me. Then, well, both

169
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: of us went to see Gladiator this week. I really

170
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I thought it's good fun. It's a movie

171
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: that you should go and see at the cinema on

172
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: the big screen. It's hugely enjoyable. You don't need to

173
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: worry about the plot. I would say it actually makes

174
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: john Wick look highbrow. There's more backstory in john Wick

175
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: than there is in Gladia. But I really enjoyed it,

176
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: and so did my wife. It's a great movie. It's

177
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: got big shoes to feel to get anywhere near just

178
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: how great Russell Crowe was and the original one. But

179
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: it's still a really huge, enjoyable sequel.

180
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 5: After we were talking about it yesterday, I looked up

181
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 5: Ridley Scott's age. He'll be eighty seven at the.

182
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 3: End of the month.

183
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: At the end of the month, he said, like two

184
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: of the best sci fi movies evan Alien Aliens. He

185
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: also did Thelma and Louise. This range is huge eighty six.

186
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: He's in charge of the sequel to the movie he

187
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: made twenty four years ago. So yeah, I really enjoyed it.

188
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: The other thing that has just landed last week, which

189
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: is outstanding with a brilliant actor called Eddie Redmain Dave

190
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: The Jackal was a novel in the seventies and it

191
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: became a big movie with a British actor called Edward Fox.

192
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: It's a brilliant, smart movie. It's now become a TV series.

193
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: It is very cooled, very very smart, brilliant thriller, really

194
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: great with Eddie Redman as the Jackal. That is on Binge.
