But this time around, 49 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 6: you've seen the movie as well. Of course we're talking 50 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 6: about bas Lehman's elvis. Feel free to argue if you want, but. 51 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 4: I would be judging you. 52 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 6: He'll be critiquing. But I think the most important thing 53 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 6: when it comes to figuring out whether or not this 54 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 6: movie is any good. And I can't remember another film 55 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 6: where more people, more friends and family, people who follow 56 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 6: me on social media, have messaged and said is it 57 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 6: any good? Like that's the one thing that everybody wants 58 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 6: to know because bas Lehman, he's a polarizing director, right like, 59 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 6: you either love him concern you love him, or you 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 6: hate him, and I don't think there's much in between, 61 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 6: right Like, you either appreciate his aesthetic, which is more, 62 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 6: is more? 63 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: Be too much? Sometimes? 64 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 7: Yes? 65 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, likes he takes a blank canvas, uses every color 66 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 6: in the box, then bedazzles the canvas and then rolls 67 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 6: it in glitter. And so that's that's kind of bad. Definition, 68 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 6: that's bad. And so and I would say when it 69 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 6: comes to this film. If you're thinking about it, like 70 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 6: if you liked Mulin Rouge, if you like The Great Gatsby, 71 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 6: I think you'll love this. I think you'll really love 72 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 6: this film. If you like Elvis, I think you'll like 73 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 6: this film because, as you mentioned Austin Butler, he is Elvis. 74 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 6: It becomes Elvis, but can't it. But on the other hand, 75 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 6: if you're not into bas Lehrman's vibe, I don't think 76 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 6: this is the movie that's going to change your mind. 77 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: No, you're right. 78 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: She's very busy, especially the start of it starts a lot. 79 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 6: And this is the thing, right, So so he tells 80 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 6: this story from the perspective of Colonel Tom Parker, which 81 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 6: is played by the great Tom Hanks, and people remember 82 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 6: the colonel as Elvis's manager. He was always a kind 83 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 6: of an enigmatic, mysterious figure for very good reasons. And 84 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 6: you find out during the film and also in real life, 85 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 6: like he was a dude who had a lot to hide. 86 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: I learned a lot about Tom Poker, I know, right. 87 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 6: But one of the big problems here. So you start 88 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 6: off with with Tom Parker kind of introducing himself and 89 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 6: saying to the audience. Well, you know, like you might 90 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 6: think that I'm the villain here, but I didn't kill Elvis. 91 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 6: I'm the guy who created Elvis. And it kind of 92 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 6: sets up the film as a flashback, So going all 93 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 6: the way back to Elvis's childhood as a little boy 94 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 6: growing up in Tupelo, Mississippi, and his exposure to gospel 95 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 6: music and kind of the you know those kind of 96 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 6: like rocking little jazz shacks with black music, and how 97 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 6: that inspired him to make the music that he would 98 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 6: as an adult. So you get a bit of that. 99 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 6: But the first ten minutes of this kind of setting 100 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 6: up this flashback, it's you know, sensory overload. It's like 101 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 6: it's baz going, do you know what in the last 102 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 6: thirty years since I made Strictly Ballroom, these are all 103 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 6: the things that I've learned as a director, and I'm 104 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 6: going to show you them all in ten minutes. And 105 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 6: it is too much. It is too much. Like at 106 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 6: one point, everything becomes like a like a literal comic 107 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 6: book illustration. 108 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: But he's the kid in primery school. He's pushing to 109 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: you hard on the crowds, and it's. 110 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 6: It's too much. And I think, you know, like if 111 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 6: you if you're a big fan of bas Lermon, you go, oh, 112 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 6: you know, I love this, I love all of this. 113 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 6: But if you're not, and even if you're just kind 114 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 6: of a casual bas Lermon fanily maybe like Romeo and 115 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 6: Juliet's like casual. So the first ten minutes like it's 116 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 6: borderline unwatchable, like I felt that it was. It was 117 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 6: really really hard to sit through, but thankfully it kind 118 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 6: of you kind of lean into it. Maybe Bazz kind 119 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 6: of beats you into submission, or it's just that Austin 120 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 6: Butler appears. 121 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: The young Elvis scene as well helped me because that 122 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: kid was all. 123 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 6: Was good the kids, and it's nothing against the actors, 124 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 6: it's just the direction is just a bit over the top. 125 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 6: And Ott that's bas Lehman right in three. 126 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 4: Works, waiting for it to settle into a real movie. 127 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 6: And eventually it does when when you see Austin Butler 128 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 6: appear on stage as the adult Elvis at his first 129 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 6: kind of big concert that the Colonel is witnessing after 130 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 6: he's already had a kind of one song on the 131 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 6: radio that's doing pretty good. And then that moment and 132 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 6: when you see Austin Butler on stage as Elvis for 133 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 6: the first time, moves and all the girls in the audience. 134 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 2: Start pretty funny scene like it. 135 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 6: Is amazing, and it kind of really does reinforce just 136 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 6: like what as the colonel says in the film, what 137 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 6: an alien Elvis was at the time, like there was 138 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 6: nobody like Elvis. And then the movie kind of finds 139 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 6: its feet from there, and Austin Butler is incredible as 140 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 6: the young sort of hound dog Elvis of the fifties 141 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 6: through to the sixty eight Comeback Special Elvis and all 142 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 6: the way through to you know, the kind of sad, 143 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 6: kind of sequin jumpsuit Vegas. 144 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 2: Elvis, which it doesn't dwell too much, doesn't dwell too 145 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: much good, but that first Vegas scene. 146 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 6: And the performances, and he sings a lot of the 147 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 6: music as young Elvis. He sings most of the songs 148 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 6: older Elvis because his voices kind of doesn't have the 149 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 6: same sort of timber as older Elvis. They used the recordings, 150 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 6: but Austin Butler certainly sings a lot of the songs 151 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 6: in this film. And then you've also got former PLC 152 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 6: student Olivia Priscilla. She doesn't have a huge role like, 153 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 6: I feel like she really could. 154 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 4: Have been in it more because such a pivotal character. 155 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 6: Pivotal character and also helps establish kind of the emotional 156 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 6: weight of the film because it's like what happens to 157 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 6: Elvis in his later life, like he died at forty two, 158 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 6: like when you think about it now, so ridiculously young. 159 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 6: A lot of that kind of emotional weight comes from 160 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 6: that relationship with Priscilla and you know, his daughter Lisa Marie, 161 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 6: And but it doesn't really get a lot of attention 162 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 6: in the film, and it focuses mostly on the relationship 163 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 6: between the colonel and Elvis, and that's where I think 164 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 6: it focuses on Tom Hanks's accent, right, Like his accent, 165 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 6: A lot of people have talked about it before the 166 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 6: movie is released. 167 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: It's extremely ann unfortunately the guy he's playing. 168 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 6: But that's the thing, right, So at the start of 169 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 6: the film, when you hear this accent, most people probably 170 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 6: think the colonel, Okay, he's like a Southern gent who 171 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 6: was a colonel? Why is Tom Hanks doing this weird accent? 172 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 6: And it's not until sort of three quarters into the 173 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 6: movie you realize, hang on a minute, he was not 174 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 6: a colonel. He was not American. He was not even 175 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 6: a Tom Parker, which is all a matter of public records, 176 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 6: so it's not a spoiler. But he was a Dutch 177 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 6: bloke and now historians believe that he might have been 178 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 6: fleeing Holland to escape a murder rap. So like he's 179 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 6: a kind of a dodgy dude, right, And when you 180 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 6: realize all of that, you realize that, you know what, actually, 181 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 6: Tom Hanks is doing a perfect accent, absolutely spot on 182 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 6: to what to what Tom Parkers sounded like. Really we 183 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 6: never heard him, right, And so for some audience members 184 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 6: it'll be hard for them to kind of undo that, 185 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 6: undo that thought, which is a bit of a shame. 186 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 6: But you know, even if you don't like baslerman, even 187 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 6: if you can't get your head around Tom Hanks's accent, 188 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 6: you would go see this movie to see Austin Butler. 189 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 6: Like this is as close as. 190 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: You can get going for Austin Butler. I wouldn't have 191 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: loved it like I did. But he cannot take your 192 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: eyes about believability. 193 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 4: I thought of Elvis on the screen of an actor 194 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 4: all the. 195 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 6: Way Austin Butler, he became Elvis Elvis, And there's a 196 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 6: scene there's the Comeback Special. I think is a great 197 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 6: sequence because so much was writing on that from his 198 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 6: career point of view. But like I loved when he 199 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 6: first got to Vegas and he's he's with the big 200 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 6: band and he's talking about how to put the song together. 201 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 6: And then it goes into the performance and you see 202 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 6: the physicality of Austin Butler on stage. It's literal sweat, 203 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 6: Like I love, bas Lehrman. Bas Lherman is famous for 204 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 6: doing a lot of takes right and so really giving 205 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 6: him away. So he had Austin Butler up on stage 206 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 6: doing the whole thing, and and that's real sweat, real exhaustion, 207 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 6: and so you know, like I think that's that is 208 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 6: why you'd see this moves. 209 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 2: Okay, well we are going to come back with your 210 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 2: interview with Tom Hanks and Austin Butler.

But Austin Butler, this 213 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 6: is a performance for the ages. Like pencil him in 214 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 6: for an Oscar nomination.

It's an incredible movie. 245 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 7: It's incredible. But tell me, like, what does Elvis mean 246 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 7: to both of you before you started this project? Thomas 247 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 7: someone who lived through his career, and Austin someone who 248 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 7: was born more than a decade. 249 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 8: I'll go first, because he goes he had, he had 250 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 8: to go back from the dead. When I was growing up, 251 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 8: Elvis was already done. He was the great nineteen fifty 252 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 8: six Elvis of the rock and roll that be. That 253 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 8: was nine years really before I became a conscious human being, 254 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 8: and Elvis was a guy who was in really lousy 255 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 8: movies about every third week in the United States. I 256 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 8: saw him as a guy who was in silly movies 257 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 8: with greasy hair. That I understood. He did rock and 258 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 8: roll back in the day before before the Beatles did, 259 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 8: and I just thought he was already I thought he 260 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 8: was done. I thought he was like as about as 261 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 8: hip as you know, Forrest Tucker or Milton Burrell. He 262 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 8: was somebody from the nineteen fifties that he didn't mean 263 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 8: anything anything to me. That being said, when I saw 264 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 8: Viva Las Vegas on TV, I thought that was a 265 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 8: pretty great I thought that was a pretty great movie. 266 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 8: But he was always a guy lip singing a song, 267 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 8: playing a guy who drove a racing car in the 268 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 8: day and sang a nightclubs at night. And I never 269 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 8: really bought him as anything other than a guy who 270 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 8: was sort of like a celebrity based on something he 271 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 8: had done much earlier. That didn't mean anything to me. 272 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 7: And Alstin so you were even further dislocated from the 273 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 7: glory days of Elvis. So what did he mean to you? 274 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: Well, that's that's yeah. So I when I first started, 275 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: if I try to forget the two years that i'm 276 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: he really I grew up around my grandmother who was 277 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: in high school in fifty six, so I wasn't familiar 278 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: with the seventies of us. I was more familiar with Heartbreaker, 279 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: Tell Blue Swede Shoes, six of us, you know, and 280 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: so that early fifties, like the Rebel of Us was 281 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: actually what I was a little bit more familiar with 282 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: through my grandmother, and I'd seen King Creole, and I'd 283 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: seen VI the Las Vegas and Gi Blues and a 284 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: couple other films, but I didn't know anything about his life, 285 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: and that like I out of such a peripheral understanding 286 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: of his life. So the great joys to me were 287 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: behind all these ideas of him, because you also, like 288 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 1: you can't help but know the Halloween costume version of 289 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: him and people's idea of him. So for me, that 290 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: was just such a joy to strip all that way 291 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: and see who is this man and where did he 292 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: really come from because he didn't just come from nowhere, 293 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: and sort of put it into context. And then also 294 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: to become more familiar with the music of the late 295 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: sixties and the seventies, which is some of the greatest 296 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: music ever recorded, like the Grit in his Voice of 297 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: sixty eight, like it's the most like it's just so raw, 298 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: and then the seventies music. I didn't realize how much 299 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: I liked the big band sound, and now that like, 300 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: if I'm having a bad day, I pop on some 301 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: of that music and it makes me so happy. 302 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 7: Well, you spent so much time with this character, preparing 303 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 7: it and then bringing it to screen. The concept scenes 304 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 7: in particular, I thought were just phenomenal. And you talk about, 305 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 7: you know, like the tone in Elvis's voice in sixty 306 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 7: eight and then some of those later shows right towards 307 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 7: the end as well, like to me, there was something 308 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 7: in his voice like he was it was I don't 309 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 7: know if it was desperation or whatever it was, but 310 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 7: it felt like he was singing as if his life 311 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 7: depended on because it did, I guess, And I felt 312 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 7: that you did such a great job of capturing that, 313 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 7: Like what were you thinking in those moments, like acting, singing, 314 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 7: the dance moves, There's a lot going on there, Like, 315 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 7: I guess, how did you How did you hone in 316 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 7: on that aspect of the performance? 317 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: Well, I think that that was the That was the 318 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: coorus finding what subjectively, finding that feeling inside, you know, 319 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: rather than seeing him from the outside, but trying to 320 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: as much as I could, feel what his soul was 321 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: going through at any one point. But it's a tricky 322 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: balancing act because you want to be incredibly specific, So 323 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of technical things that are involved of 324 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, spending hours just watching what his hand's doing 325 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: and just trying to get as very specific as possible. 326 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: But for me, it was it was doing that so 327 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: much that when I was on set, I wasn't having 328 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: to think about that, and it was just feeling the 329 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: raw emotion of it.

It's a strange way of putting it in. 441 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 2: I guess they mean suddenly we're spoilt for choice. Maybe 442 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: they mean Alanis has got too much on to catch 443 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: up on.

Have you noticed 446 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 2: a lot of people posting online this week about the 447 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 2: particularly beautiful sunsets that we are having. 448 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 4: So many photos? 449 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: Well, there's a reason, apparently, we can thank a volcanic 450 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: eruption in Tonga. It may have been six months ago, 451 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: but the dazzling sunsets and sunrises in recent weeks have 452 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: been linked to the long lasting impacts of the volcanic 453 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: eruption in January, and according to scientists, they could continue 454 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: for another year. It reminds me of those Mount Pinatubo 455 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 2: sunsets of the late nineteen eighties, it's all over the state. 456 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: In Albany, they've noticed a lot of vivid oranges in 457 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 2: their sunsets, whereas they usually get more purple and pinky color. 458 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 2: They've noticed the sun rises are as colorful as the sunsets, 459 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 2: which is often the case here. So it was mid 460 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: January the undersea volcano erupted in Tonga in a massive explosion, 461 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: thought to be one of the world's biggest, and analysis 462 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: from NASA showed it bursts through the troposphere, the stratosphere, 463 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 2: and even into the third layer of the atmosphere, the mesophere. 464 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: It's a lot of spears reaching fifty eight kilometers at 465 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: its highest point, fifty eight straight and. 466 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 4: They get those images as well from up there as well. 467 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: That's incredible. So that pumped particles like ash, sulfates, and 468 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: water vapor into the stratosphere and there are currently estimated 469 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 2: it to be about three times more aerosols in the 470 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: stratosphere than normal. And it's the particles in the atmosphere 471 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: on the whole providing a surface to scatter, and it's 472 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: the scattering of light that causes our beautiful that's causing 473 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: our beautiful sunsets. Right now, you go there Endeth the lesson. 474 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: Great thank you for sure, great photos, but maybe don't 475 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 3: breathe it in well. 476 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 9: More more Lisa more podcasts soon ninety six. 477 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 4: Something to get you excited, because I know this makes 478 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 4: you smile. 479 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 2: Lease, are you all right? 480 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 4: Lott I lert you okay, let's just struggling, so you 481 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 4: have to speak up.

He was your favorite character, Lurch. 506 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: It was thanks very much, but I mean, you know, 507 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 2: we'll get to this in a second. The relationship between 508 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 2: Gomez and Morticia, that was something to aim for. That's 509 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: so beautiful now. Storyline with the musical, it's a father's 510 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: worst nightmare. Mess is what's happening? 511 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 4: Indeed, give us a. 512 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: Quick rundown about what's what's going on with Wednesday. 513 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 10: Well, it's a coming of age story in that Wednesday 514 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 10: has found a boy, and. 515 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 4: She has bought the boy. Look us home and he's normal. Oh, 516 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 4: he's got a ghoul. 517 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 10: No, and we have to contend with that. But and 518 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 10: unfortunately she puts me in a very difficult position because 519 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 10: she says that I can't tell Morticia. So for the 520 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 10: first time in our relationship, I've had to keep a 521 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 10: secret from No. 522 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 2: That's a deal breaker, a really really trouble mess. 523 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 4: Does does say the words that's French at any stage around.
