1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Great per flick with benshe he's got some crackers ready

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: for us. I do, I do.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: It's coming up to that teas tis the season where

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 2: the mercury rises and the air conditioned comfort of a

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: movie cinema seems pretty appealing.

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: I saw Titanic back ineteen, the longest movie you can find.

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: And also, don't forget school holidays starts very soon and

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: a lot of people listening today might be thinking, what

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: the heck am I going to do with all my

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: kids to keep them entertained now that they can't be

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: on social media, they can't just put them in front

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: of a device.

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben has the answer.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: I got some movies for you, all right, And look,

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: we'll start with one that it's going to be released

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: before Christmas, but it's definitely going to be the biggest

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: movie over the festive season. Of course, it's going to

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: be Avatar, Fire and Ash. You're giving away some tickets today,

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: and so this movie is going to be huge. So

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: James Cameron's previous two installments of this franchise, two of

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 2: them three highest grossing films of all time, So it's

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: a pretty safe bet that the third installment is also

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: going to go bananas at the global box office.

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: They won't scrimp on production costs.

25
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: It is, you know, he's basically created a cottage industry

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: in New Zealand where he's making these movies. There's still

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: a few more to come and yet the new Peter Jackson.

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: So the New Zealanders have done pretty well out of

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: these movies. You've got this. She's like Hugh, He's built

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: his whole compound. Where's he's built these kind of like

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: special high tech country which is which is funny considering

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: this movie is pretty much all CGI, so you don't

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: actually see any of New Zealand. But of course it's

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: got the great Sam Worthington, he's in it, and Zowie

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Saldana returns as well. So more of the same from

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: the Avatar franchise. But it'll be spectacular and you can

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: see it now in imax. It's going to be some

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: IMAX in Perth. But then now, if we look ahead

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: to Christmas in boxing day, it's really a mixed bag,

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: something for everybody. If you like your blockbusters, you're well

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: looked after. With Anaconda, which you remember the movie from

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: like nineteen ninety seven, I.

43
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: Think it managed to put it out, so it was

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: cheesy shlocky.

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: There was no Anaconda. The original Aniiconda was dud, but

46
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: still we kind of liked it as a sort of

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: a cult schlocky.

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: Classic Snakes on a Plane look like Shakespeare exactly exactly.

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: But what I really like is, so this this new

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: film is kind of like a meta reboot starring Paul

51
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Rudd and Jack Black. So straight away you've got to

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: be happy with that car and their two mates, who

53
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: their biggest dream in life was to remake the movie Anaconda,

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: and so they decided to go to the Amazon and

55
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: shoot this movie, this reboot of Anaconda. But of course

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: it all goes off the rails when a real life

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: giant Anaconda starts talking them. And so yeah, like it's

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of fun for people.

59
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Who like those.

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Jumanji reboots with Jack Black, this is going to be

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: up your ally. For the kiddies, We've got a new

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: SpongeBob movie and so based of course on the popular

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: TV series, a cartoon from you know, Saturday Mornings or whatever,

64
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: and this is the fourth SpongeBob theatrical release, which was

65
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: a surprise to me. But apparently there's been three previous ones.

66
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: The last one came out in twenty twenty, so it

67
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: started COVID didn't do very well. The previous two movies

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 2: did reasonably well the box office, over one hundred million

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: dollars each, like sort of you know, twenty million dollar budgets.

70
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: So they're pretty successful. And this is fun. This is fun,

71
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: and they've got I think they've got a song on

72
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: the soundtrack by Ice. Spice is an extremely colorful female

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: American rapper. But it just goes to show SpongeBob is

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: a pop cultural institution, so you know, you know what

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: you're going to get, and there'll be plenty of adults.

76
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: There were a Spongebo because the hang on you know what? Yeah,

77
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: I know we're playing you out, but I think this

78
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: is going to have to be a two part what else?

79
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: Well, I promised you something. Traditional Boxing Day is still

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: huge for movie releases, and January one is also big

81
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: this year because of Avatar kind of sucking out all

82
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: the oxygen. You're not going to get too many tent

83
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: pole films. All of the other studios are gone.

84
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: We're just gonna let Avatar have it.

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: There's no Marvel there's no Star Wars. All of those

86
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: movies have really been a feature and Akondra is probably

87
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: the only other big one. But what you're missing out

88
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: on the blockbusters, you're getting in some really interesting films.

89
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: So one that I think is worth watching Sentimental Value,

90
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: which is on everybody's list of the best films of

91
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, just cleaned up at the Domination. Yeah, yep,

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: I think got eight, which is a record for a

93
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: foreign language film. Norwegian director Jaquim Tria, whose last film

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: The Worst Person in the World was amazing.

95
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so it's.

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: Got el Fanning stellin Scarsgart, a kind of a famed

97
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: European director at the end of his career, kind of

98
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: reconnects with his estranged daughters. So that's going to be

99
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: really really good. Go check that one out then if

100
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: you like, If you like it kind of a bit

101
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: more of a you know, I guess a guilty pleasure

102
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: and you like the pol Fig movies like a simple favor.

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: So you've got one with Sidney Sweeney coming out called

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: The Housemaid, And so that's going to be like a

105
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: twisty turney she takes a job, is that she takes

106
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: a job as a housemaid, and then the couple, the

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: wealthy couple that she's working for. There's some intrigue, there's

108
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: some seduction, there's you know, all sorts of things going

109
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: on in this movie. So the Housemaid, I think that

110
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: will be one that people will be interested in. If

111
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: you like British feel good cinema, Yeah, I knew you would.

112
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: And the great Ray Finds is in a movie called

113
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: The Coral set in World War One. He's the choir

114
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: master of this congregation and he's a bit controversial, no

115
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: one likes him, but he's got to bring the town

116
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: together at a very tough time for England. Like it

117
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: is honestly the most classic I.

118
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Lover bring the town together movie, British feel good movie.

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: As far as I know, this is not based on

120
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: a true story. A lot of them are, and Ray

121
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: Finds is fantastic. The film, myself is certainly one for

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: people who.

123
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: Like that genre. Let me put it that way, all right.

124
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: So there we go, There we go. That's our rundown.

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: That is plenty to look for.

126
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: Time for the orchestra to strike up.

127
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: The course necessary that because it filled a bit egregious

128
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: to play that I was already Doe. It wasn't exactly

129
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: Julia Roberts, you know, excepting I just have to thank you.

130
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: I like to thank my producers. I like to thank

131
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: my mama. To think the key grip on the set.

132
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: The band is here to play, and the band will

133
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: play regardless.

134
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 3: Thank you for seeing the movies that we might not

135
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: want to see so that we don't have to.

136
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: And when I see you next year, doing it again

137
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: for us in twenty six
