1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Good morning band, good I might good morning guys. How

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: are you good? Very well, you're pretty excited to talk

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: about Idris Elba. Yeah, we all know if life was

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: a sexy sam which the bread would be Andress Elbro

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: texts Perkins, So settled down the foot long Sorry, Ben Redigress,

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: what have you seen? So? I have seen Beast And

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: so this is Elber's new movie. And look for anybody

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: one who was wondering, you know, what would it be

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: like to see Idris Elber punch a line? Some people

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: might say, hey, that that and a chiky shadow. That's

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: my Friday night. How the line reacts and so it

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: continues this long history of man versus nature movies. Hollywood

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: is obsessed with it. And sometimes you know, it's about

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: kind of like conveying this thought provoking message about humanity's

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: attempt to subjugate nature. Other times it's just about spilling

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: blood and guts in the name of entertainments. Jaws, Jaws,

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: they go rogue and they come for us. It's Jaws, Piranha,

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: razor and the birds. You could never forget a flock

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: of crazy birds people zebras one yet but probably, but

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: there's every other animal that you can think of snakes,

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: snakes on a plane, Leo DiCaprio versus a bear, Liam

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: versus a way, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oliver Platt versus and

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: crocodile in Lake Placid. J Loo versus an anaconda. It's

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of you remember anaconda. It

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: was it was kind of like realized after Snake's on

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: the plane, Hollywood was like, okay, we need another snake.

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. So so there is many many movies

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: where actors take on animals. In this case it's idrizl

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: but taking on a fully grown African lion, right, And

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: so they set the film up by having him as

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: this American surgeon, like super respected, high powered dude, very

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: career focused, so career focused that he didn't really pay

33
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: enough attention to his family, his two teenage daughters and

34
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: his wife. She left him and then got cancer and died.

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: So the daughters blame him for not noticing the mum

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: was getting sick and not being there when she was sick,

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: and so they bring all of that kind of pathos

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: to this story. And so they decide to as a

39
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: bonding exercise, go to Africa and the dead mum's former village,

40
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: her hometown, this little village in the middle of a

41
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of a wildlife reserve, to spend some time there,

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: get to know who she was growing up and kind

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: of bring them all closer together. Lovely, lovely story. The

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: problem is as they go out and about exploring this

45
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: wildlife reserve, they encounter a lion who we realize in

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: a montage at the start of the film has become

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: so psychopathically opposed to humans after poachers killed its pride,

48
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: and so it's like on this revenge trip and it

49
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: is going to kill any human that crosses its path

50
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: and not stop until every single human it runs into

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: is dead. And so just so happens to run into

52
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: this poor family, who you know, don't have any kind

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: of bush survival skills or anything like that. Their good mate,

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: who's a local, is played by Charlto Copley from District Nine,

55
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: like a South African actor who, for a long time

56
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: after that film, which was amazing, was cast as a

57
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: villain in Hollywood because he was kind of like vaguely,

58
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, sort of a brand name but not expensive

59
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and so but he's a good guy in this which

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: is nice to see although you know, you can imagine

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: the survival rate of anybody outside of Idris Elba and

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: his daughter's not it's not amazing. They need a lot

63
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: of line food, of course. And so and this line

64
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: is crazy. It's this huge line and you know, like

65
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: it just does things like throws itself at the Toyota

66
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: land Cruiser and smashes the windows and tries to eat

67
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: the tires and like it just does not yeah, yeah,

68
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: And so it's all about how no, no, no no,

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: And so how can Idris and his daughters escape and

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: find their way back to safety? And so it goes

71
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: through a few twists and turns, and poaches appear along

72
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: the way, most of them get eaten by the line,

73
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and and Idris Elbert cops a massive amount of punishment

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: from the line. And so, like these films generally are

75
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: always like B movie shlock, like you just kind of

76
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: you know what you're getting into. The better ones, like

77
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Jaws kind of offer a bit more because they're just

78
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: so intense. Some of the meg and then they and

79
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: then you got the meg at the other end of

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: the spectrum, and so you know a lot of them

81
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: are not good. Beast is probably somewhere in the middle.

82
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: It's director, this Icelandic dude, Baltasar cormacor who did Guys. Yeah, yeah,

83
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: probably call Macoru something like that. I'm sure that pronunciation

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: is perfect. Did Two Guns with Denzel Washington and Markey

85
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: Mark a couple of years ago. Did that movie Everest

86
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: with Josh Rowland and Sam Worthington and Jake gillen Halso

87
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: he does okay movies, right, and so with this he

88
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: kind of pumps up the tension with these long, continuous shots,

89
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, like we're seeing in some action movies these days,

90
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: and so it seems like you're watching like one ten

91
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: minute shot of Idris Elba, like running through the bush,

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: the line going up and over trees and yeah. Yeah.

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: So it's some interesting things about how the film was

94
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: made that make it quite intense, and there's like plenty

95
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: of moments where you're jumping out of your seat. Unfortunately,

96
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: the flip side is a lot of it is kind

97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: of a bit silly, like this line seems to miraculously

98
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: lose its sense of sight and smell anytime Idris Elba

99
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: is within ten meters. It's only I was gonna say,

100
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: it's only human no, but put it this way, Unlike you,

101
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: this line seems unlikely to ever pounce on Idris Elba, right,

102
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: odds exact if it just walked into this studio right now,

103
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: like good luck getting out of here. But he didn't

104
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: have so much to worry about the line, and it's

105
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: all CGI right, so cool, and so that comes with

106
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: some pros and cons as well. Yeah, the pro Idris

107
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Elba survived mold because it's not a real line. Con

108
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: sometimes maybe not so realistic. And so yeah, so you

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: take the good and the bad with this movie, right, So,

110
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: zig Freed or Royd? That's a spoiler, isn't that? That's

111
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: a spoiler. I'll tell you that you give. I'm going

112
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: to give this one three freed. It's a solid, solid

113
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: movie in a cinemas check out. Look. I I just

114
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: wish you just would make another season of Luther. I

115
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: don't need him to know I got him back on Telly. Yeah, okay,

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: TV stuff is so much and we don't care about

117
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: whether his bond or not. Yeah, well, I mean I

118
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't be opposed to it, guys. Thanks mate,
