1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Great to flick with ben o'she good morning band, welcome band,

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Good morning guys.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what your experience with the moon

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: landing was in nineteen sixty nine, but it was a

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: bit before my time. But I'm sure there are plenty

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: of listeners out there who remember exactly where they were

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: when Neil Armstrong and buzz Aldren set foot on the Moon.

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: And so this new movie fly Me to the Moon

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: is about that period in history, starring Channing Tatum and

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: Scarlett Johansson, and it's kind of like in many ways

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: it's a throwback, like you know, those classic sort of

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: like romantic, witty comedies starring Catherine Hepburn and spent the Tracy.

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 2: They're really trying to channel that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: the sort of thing. It's like a jazzy soundtrack and

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: a lot of sort of sparkling banter between the two leads,

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: and Channing Tatum plays a you know, of a super

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 2: successful US fighter pilot who goes into the space program

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, can't become an astronaut, so he goes

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: into sort of becoming the launch director at NASA on

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: the Apollo program, and his buddy Ray Romano from Everybody

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: Loves Raymond Is there is sort of his you know,

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: sort of confidant and two ic in the launch center

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: and they're about to put Apollo eleven up into space.

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: But the problem is the American people and American politicians

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: I kind of lost a bit of interest in the

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 2: space race and their funding is at risk. So some

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: shadowy figure from Richard Nixon's administration played by Woody Harrelson

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: comes up with the idea of getting a Madison Avenue

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: marketing wizard Scarlett Johanson's character to go down to NASA

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: and kind of give them a bit of a juge,

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: give them a bit of a makeover and sell the

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: sizzle around the lunar launch. And Channing Tadam's character hates it.

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: He doesn't like the idea of someone coming along saying,

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: you know, we've got to shoot these little bits for TV.

35
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: We've got to get some of your astronauts on magazine covers.

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: He thinks that it should all be about the mission,

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: and so you've got this kind of chalk and cheese

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: opposites attract situation at the center of the film. And

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: then the other twist as it goes along is you know,

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Woody Harrison's character doesn't want to leave anything to chance

41
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: in this race against the Russians, and so he thinks

42
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: that Scarlet Johansen should also shoot a fake hoax lunar landing,

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: just in case the original one doesn't work. Yes, that's

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: sort of a sort of like an alternate history of

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: the moon landing. Yes, some people, some people exactly exactly.

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: It's a documentary very much so, and some people and

47
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: some people might think it's it's kind of funny, but

48
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: it's an interesting one because there's also you know, watching

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: this film, you think about the fake news that exists today,

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: and I don't know, maybe it's not quite as funny

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: as the as.

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: The as the writer and director thought it might be

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: to kind of like make jokes about, you know, sort

54
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: of shooting this hoax landing, because we see all the

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: time in real life that people will believe all sorts

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: of crazy conspiracy theories. And so you've got Scarlet Jr. Hansen,

57
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 2: who is great. Channing Tatum I have a bit of

58
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: an issue with in this film, and I'm not just

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: talking about his wardrobe in the film, which is exclusively skivvys,

60
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: but but weirdly short sleeve skivvy. I didn't even know

61
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: that was a thing. Oh yeah, so it's and you know,

62
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: maybe get away with one in one scene, but a

63
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: different colored skivvy in every scene is overkilledly it's honestly

64
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: like a wiggle. And so yeah, and I don't know,

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: the chemistry between Channing Tatum and Scarlet Johnson is only okay,

66
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Like it's definitely no you know, it's definitely no Catrin

67
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: Hepburn and Spencer Tracy that way, who had a bit

68
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: of off screen chemistry as well. And it's funny without

69
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: being hilarious. And it's in the cinemas now, and it's

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: going to be eventually on Apple TV Plus because Apple

71
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: Studios is the one behind it. So it's kind of

72
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: one of those films that you know, when it comes

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: out on streaming, you go, oh yeah, okay, like it's

74
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: a mediocre film you can watch at home on the

75
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: couch and enjoy it. Whether or not you'd pay to

76
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: see it on the big screen. Well, look, I guess

77
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: it just depends on how much you like those two

78
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: actors in the lead roles and how much you like

79
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: these kinds of you know, throwback rom coms, because the

80
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: reality is you don't see too many of these in

81
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: the cinema anymore.

82
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Why did it become a rom com if it's about

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: you dummying out?

84
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

85
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: Okay, well I appreciate your honesty on this one.

86
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: But so it's no Capricorn one. Okay, Ben, how many

87
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: lawn chops are you giving it?

88
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: Well, look, it's like it's solid, definitely not spectacular. I'm

89
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: going to give it three star. That's all right.

90
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: So, Houston, we sort of have a problem.

91
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: We have a problem, but it's a small problem. Okay,

92
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: thanks man, Thanks Ben, have a good day.

93
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, you know, talking movies.
