0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:30.250
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get into this week's Double Thumbs Up.

0:00:30.270 --> 0:00:35.990
<v Speaker 1>Thanks to Specsavers Multifocals, helping you switch focus easily between reading, watching,

0:00:42.580 --> 0:00:44.999
<v Speaker 1>what is it for you? What's your Friday recommendation, mate?

0:00:45.180 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's been a long time between drinks, but Practical

0:00:49.140 --> 0:00:53.530
<v Speaker 2>Magic 2 has finally hit cinemas. Nearly, would you believe,

0:00:53.530 --> 0:00:57.100
<v Speaker 2>30 years since the first, since the original one. Went

0:00:57.140 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>to the premiere the other night. I love this. Sandra Bullock,

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.660
<v Speaker 2>Nicole Kidman are back. On-air chemistry, or on-air chemistry, on-screen

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.940
<v Speaker 2>chemistry is still there. A bit controversial. None of the

0:01:07.060 --> 0:01:09.420
<v Speaker 2>other cast members are there. But, hey, the main two

0:01:09.460 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>are there. Sandra and Nicole are there.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>It's brilliant.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.100
<v Speaker 2>This is a cult favourite. And if you love the first,

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.819
<v Speaker 2>you're going to love the second. And it's kind of,

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>it's been interesting this year because Devil Wears Prada 2

0:01:21.199 --> 0:01:23.229
<v Speaker 2>came out earlier in the year, and that was like,

0:01:23.229 --> 0:01:26.339
<v Speaker 2>20 years after the first, but this is like 28

0:01:26.340 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>years since the first, and the magic is still there.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.420
<v Speaker 2>So Practical Magic 2 in cinemas right across the country.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.700
<v Speaker 1>I reckon in 20 years from now, we'll probably get Rio,

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.660
<v Speaker 1>you've been to see it as well, as Odyssey 2

0:01:35.660 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>or 3. Yes, yeah, what's the sequel? What happens next?

0:01:39.740 --> 0:01:42.490
<v Speaker 1>What happens next? Where did he go on that video?

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.270
<v Speaker 2>The other thing we're into at home at the moment,

0:01:45.330 --> 0:01:47.890
<v Speaker 2>or should I say, I'll actually, no, I'll clarify that,

0:01:47.970 --> 0:01:51.790
<v Speaker 2>that I'm into is Miss Austin on Netflix. This is

0:01:51.830 --> 0:01:55.269
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful full part, genteel BBC period drama.

0:01:55.290 --> 0:01:58.620
<v Speaker 1>Genteel? Yes. That's the BBC. No, they do a good genteel.

0:01:58.650 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>If you want a genteel drama, you go to the

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:01.220
<v Speaker 1>good old Beeb.

0:02:01.500 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>This is so sweet. It's about Jane Austen's sister, Cassandra,

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>and follows her.

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.940
<v Speaker 1>That's the most BBC I've ever heard. I'm sorry. We

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.620
<v Speaker 1>could do a whole thing. Tell me you're British. Without

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.540
<v Speaker 1>telling me you're British. Jane, they've gone through the family tree.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.540
<v Speaker 1>Go through ancestry.com. She's got a sister.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 2>It's not unlike Bridgerton. And follows her later in life

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.410
<v Speaker 2>hunting down Jane's private letters to protect her legacy. I

0:02:24.510 --> 0:02:24.850
<v Speaker 2>love this.

0:02:24.910 --> 0:02:25.190
<v Speaker 1>Is it good?

0:02:25.510 --> 0:02:25.750
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:02:25.770 --> 0:02:28.990
<v Speaker 2>This is catnip for me. And it's my show. I

0:02:29.030 --> 0:02:30.710
<v Speaker 2>can't say the rest of the family's into it. But

0:02:30.990 --> 0:02:33.210
<v Speaker 2>if you love Bridgerton and all those sort of lovely

0:02:33.330 --> 0:02:33.970
<v Speaker 2>period dramas, you'll love this.

0:02:33.990 --> 0:02:35.860
<v Speaker 1>But perhaps the only thing right now, because it's so

0:02:36.060 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 1>full on, the world right now, that actually these shows

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.260
<v Speaker 1>are kind of like hot chocolate.

0:02:40.300 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.060
<v Speaker 1>It's like a nudie. It's just like there's something warming

0:02:44.100 --> 0:02:46.060
<v Speaker 1>and soothing. Yes, and you know. It's not scary. There's

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>so many dark TV shows that we watch now, these

0:02:49.100 --> 0:02:51.380
<v Speaker 1>crime thrillers that are really relentlessly bleak.

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 2>On the edge of your seat.

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.430
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's nice to watch something just... reassuringly pleasant. Absolutely.

0:02:56.450 --> 0:02:56.810
<v Speaker 3>Gentile.

0:02:57.290 --> 0:02:58.310
<v Speaker 2>Gentile, as they say.

0:02:58.330 --> 0:03:00.940
<v Speaker 1>It should be a genre on Netflix. Show me the

0:03:00.980 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>gentile section.

0:03:02.300 --> 0:03:03.739
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you turn it on, you just know

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be good and you know you're going

0:03:05.380 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy it.

0:03:05.640 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>There's always some jaunty music and a horse-drawn carriage arrives. Yes,

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.930
<v Speaker 1>of course. The class system is present. All is good

0:03:12.950 --> 0:03:13.470
<v Speaker 1>in the world.

0:03:14.110 --> 0:03:16.970
<v Speaker 2>And Rose Leslie, who's in Game of Thrones in Downton Abbey,

0:03:17.230 --> 0:03:19.570
<v Speaker 2>is in this. She plays Isabella. So Look, you're going

0:03:19.590 --> 0:03:20.550
<v Speaker 2>to love it if that's your genre.

0:03:20.570 --> 0:03:21.910
<v Speaker 1>You're a shoo-in to get a role in that. If

0:03:21.950 --> 0:03:24.410
<v Speaker 1>you were in Downton, you are a lock-in, aren't you? Yeah,

0:03:24.470 --> 0:03:26.630
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Have you got the outfit that they gave

0:03:26.650 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you in Downton? Can you bring that to Miss Austin?

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.620
<v Speaker 1>It's about her brother, Dave Austin.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.950
<v Speaker 2>Really strong reviews. Miss Austin on Netflix. You'll find it.

0:03:35.740 --> 0:03:37.500
<v Speaker 1>I want to see the version of Mr. Austin. You know,

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>they could really sort of build a multiverse. The Austin

0:03:40.500 --> 0:03:46.210
<v Speaker 1>multiverse of Austin. Get some merch going. All right, Christian,

0:03:46.250 --> 0:03:48.740
<v Speaker 1>mine is... It's a bit late to the party... Double

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.340
<v Speaker 1>thumbs up to the book Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.610
<v Speaker 1>That is an incredible book. I know it was released

0:03:54.610 --> 0:03:56.150
<v Speaker 1>14 years ago. I saw the movie when it came out,

0:03:56.170 --> 0:03:58.910
<v Speaker 1>but didn't really read the book until now. I'm listening

0:03:58.950 --> 0:04:04.170
<v Speaker 1>to the audiobook. It's incredible. Really highly recommended. This is

0:04:04.190 --> 0:04:07.260
<v Speaker 1>from Mark. My double thumbs up, Christian, is for Last

0:04:07.340 --> 0:04:09.820
<v Speaker 1>Seen on Apple TV. We're about to start watching that tonight, Mark.

0:04:10.580 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I saw a five-star review of it the other day.

0:04:12.740 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>It stars Patrick Bramall, who is just on a tear

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:20.010
<v Speaker 1>right now from calling from accounts. he's an incredible Christian

0:04:20.570 --> 0:04:22.850
<v Speaker 1>he's a police responder in a call centre and he's

0:04:22.909 --> 0:04:26.470
<v Speaker 1>sure a caller asking for help is his daughter who

0:04:26.490 --> 0:04:29.589
<v Speaker 1>went missing you've got to start watching it Mark, brilliant

0:04:30.250 --> 0:04:35.150
<v Speaker 1>my two great TV shows one, Trigger Point the fourth

0:04:35.210 --> 0:04:37.950
<v Speaker 1>and last season came out last weekend, it's on Stan

0:04:38.330 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>this TV show, if you love the British cop show,

0:04:41.280 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Line of Duty which is incredible, it's by the same

0:04:43.900 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>people it's got one of the big stars in it

0:04:45.580 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>as well it's like, you know you get a book

0:04:47.980 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 1>One of those summer sort of blockbuster novels you tear

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>through in a day or two. That's Trigger Point. It's

0:04:53.380 --> 0:04:57.260
<v Speaker 1>like if Leanne Moriarty wrote a British kind of cop show,

0:04:57.340 --> 0:05:01.180
<v Speaker 1>this would be Trigger Point. Relentlessly dramatic, completely over the top,

0:05:01.740 --> 0:05:06.060
<v Speaker 1>but hugely enjoyable. Just a rollercoaster of a TV show.

0:05:06.700 --> 0:05:09.029
<v Speaker 1>So that's Trigger Point on Stan. Double thumbs up for me.

0:05:09.110 --> 0:05:12.270
<v Speaker 1>And then the best TV show I've seen all year

0:05:12.370 --> 0:05:15.289
<v Speaker 1>is Furious. My wife Sarah and I watched the last

0:05:15.350 --> 0:05:19.540
<v Speaker 1>episode last night. incredible i cannot rave about this show

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>furious enough it is a proper grown-up thriller that demands

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>your attention it is outstanding i've never seen a tv

0:05:26.300 --> 0:05:30.089
<v Speaker 1>show like that um it's about a female serial killer

0:05:30.530 --> 0:05:33.730
<v Speaker 1>it is incredible really timely and i just can't just

0:05:33.750 --> 0:05:36.350
<v Speaker 1>watch it it's on disney it's the most un-disney show

0:05:36.370 --> 0:05:39.409
<v Speaker 1>you're ever going to see in your life i don't

0:05:39.430 --> 0:05:43.660
<v Speaker 1>know what would make of this But it is outstanding.

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.860
<v Speaker 1>That is called Furious and you can find it on Disney. Rio,

0:05:46.900 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>what is your double thumbs up, mate?

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 3>I've got an app and another Disney Plus show, actually,

0:05:51.140 --> 0:05:54.210
<v Speaker 3>while we're at it. It's called Adults. It is a sitcom.

0:05:54.590 --> 0:05:56.170
<v Speaker 3>It is so funny.

0:05:56.350 --> 0:05:58.969
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny. I watched the trailer for it yesterday

0:05:59.150 --> 0:05:59.870
<v Speaker 1>and it looks great.

0:06:00.130 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 3>It is the most chaotic. It's sort of like A

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.620
<v Speaker 3>sort of R-rated Gen Z version of Friends.

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.659
<v Speaker 1>It is so, so funny. It's so naughty.

0:06:09.540 --> 0:06:12.110
<v Speaker 3>But I feel like sitcoms have sort of died off

0:06:12.140 --> 0:06:14.610
<v Speaker 3>a bit since the 2000s and the 90s, but I

0:06:14.630 --> 0:06:18.330
<v Speaker 3>feel like they're making a comeback. Ted Lasso, Superstore, Abbott Elementary,

0:06:18.690 --> 0:06:22.590
<v Speaker 3>and now Adults is really, really funny. Can't recommend that enough.

0:06:22.650 --> 0:06:25.330
<v Speaker 1>It's funny. You just mentioned Abbott Elementary. I only started

0:06:25.370 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>watching it this week because it's won so many awards.

0:06:29.340 --> 0:06:31.060
<v Speaker 1>It's brilliant. So funny.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 3>It's like, I guess, a new version of the Office

0:06:33.900 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 3>Abbott Elementary.

0:06:34.620 --> 0:06:36.490
<v Speaker 1>It's done so well. Really, really, really good. I just

0:06:36.530 --> 0:06:39.610
<v Speaker 1>kept seeing it winning all the awards, and I haven't

0:06:39.650 --> 0:06:40.630
<v Speaker 1>seen it yet. It's brilliant.

0:06:40.790 --> 0:06:41.170
<v Speaker 3>It's so good.

0:06:41.190 --> 0:06:43.170
<v Speaker 1>Very, very good. You know what it is, Rio? It's Gentile.

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.740
<v Speaker 1>You know what? It is a genteel sitcom. Are we

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.450
<v Speaker 1>doing a genteel breakfast show?

0:06:47.830 --> 0:06:48.130
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:06:48.490 --> 0:06:50.430
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think we are. We should do. We

0:06:50.490 --> 0:06:54.310
<v Speaker 1>really ought to. Maybe Monday. So where can they find that? Disney.

0:06:54.470 --> 0:06:56.830
<v Speaker 3>That's on Disney +. And just very quickly, if you

0:06:56.970 --> 0:06:59.750
<v Speaker 3>are an allergy or hay fever sufferer like myself, and

0:06:59.790 --> 0:07:03.530
<v Speaker 3>I know you are as well, Christian, especially in spring, download.

0:07:03.570 --> 0:07:05.430
<v Speaker 3>It's called the Pollen app. There's a Melbourne one. There's

0:07:05.470 --> 0:07:08.050
<v Speaker 3>a Sydney one. Every single day, it tells you a

0:07:08.070 --> 0:07:10.790
<v Speaker 3>little alert. If it's a high pollen day, medium pollen day,

0:07:10.850 --> 0:07:13.430
<v Speaker 3>low pollen day, If you can go outside, if you

0:07:13.450 --> 0:07:15.690
<v Speaker 3>should stay inside, it is a lifesaver.

0:07:15.750 --> 0:07:20.110
<v Speaker 1>I meant to live my life. It says stay indoors. Yes.

0:07:20.170 --> 0:07:21.270
<v Speaker 1>Who can just stay indoors?

0:07:21.390 --> 0:07:22.330
<v Speaker 2>Don't go out.

0:07:22.370 --> 0:07:24.620
<v Speaker 1>Don't go out. What, are you going to ring your

0:07:24.630 --> 0:07:26.570
<v Speaker 1>boss and go, listen, Pete, I can't come in today?

0:07:27.100 --> 0:07:30.410
<v Speaker 1>The app says no. High pollen. High pollen. Can't come in.

0:07:30.420 --> 0:07:33.460
<v Speaker 1>Would love to, but can't. Put me on Teams. I

0:07:33.500 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>work from home.

0:07:34.660 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 2>The Christian O'Connell Show.

0:07:36.460 --> 0:07:37.180
<v Speaker 1>Go on.

0:07:37.540 --> 0:07:38.300
<v Speaker 3>Podcast.
