Speaker 5: moments of twenty twenty four. But on Stan the other night,
Speaker 5: actually we watch Nugget Is Dead.
Speaker 3: That's Getting High.
Speaker 5: Christmas film, Ouzsie Christmas Film, and it's a bit it's
Speaker 5: a bit like our version of National Lampoons Christmas. It's very,
Speaker 5: very funny, but it's also got a beautiful message of
Speaker 5: I don't know, of love and of the family unit.
Speaker 5: And even though we're all quirky in our own ways,
Speaker 5: and you know, December twenty five sometimes can be really
Speaker 5: stressful for families, there's just this underlying joy of just
Speaker 5: everyone being together and being themselves. So we loved it.
Speaker 5: That's on Stan and the other thing that they've just
Speaker 5: brought out this week, we got right into ten Pound Poems,
Speaker 5: which was a brilliant seer.
Speaker 3: Sure she really good? That?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's beautifully mate. Stephen Curry's in it. The Ausiacta
Speaker 5: and they've just leaks sort of preview teasers photos of
Speaker 5: Sirius two which is going to drop next year. So
Speaker 5: I'm really really looking for.

Speaker 3: I tell you what, guys, what I really love is
Speaker 3: Stills Robins. What some Sillers have you seen? Glenn about
Speaker 3: forthcoming features?

Speaker 3: Photos just add it to my game.
Speaker 5: One of my albums, Seriously.
Speaker 3: Broke. It only took a year.
Speaker 5: My favorite book of the year has to be Kathy
Speaker 5: Lett's Husband Replacement Therapy. I've been burning through any possible
Speaker 5: book that mentions perrymnopause or menopause because of the podcast
Speaker 5: that I've done this year, Rage Against the Menopause on
Speaker 5: the iHeart.
Speaker 3: I got one.
Speaker 4: I got a recommendation for you. Yeah, did in her
Speaker 4: book club All Fours by Miranda July.
Speaker 3: Miranda very good.
Speaker 5: I need a book. Yeah, it's incredible, beautiful, I will
Speaker 5: get that.
Speaker 3: But this is good, pretty steamy.
Speaker 5: Live right in my alley.
Speaker 4: No, but right up the all.
Speaker 3: Look the other way, the bus coming.
Speaker 5: But this book's great because you know, menopause can be
Speaker 5: a bit of a mess with your head, so to
Speaker 5: look at it in a comedic.
Speaker 4: I just find the best way to book is look
Speaker 4: at the front cover.
Speaker 5: On it's so funny. So Kathy led of course, is
Speaker 5: in episode nine and ten of my podcast and she
Speaker 5: was hilarious as she always is.
Speaker 3: She was great.
Speaker 5: She's such absolutely adore her.
Speaker 4: And the crush on the pod this year as well.
Speaker 5: Thank you absolutely. I've got to say I've absolutely loved it.
Speaker 3: You've got to come back such a big impr.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at series two and where that's going to go,
Speaker 5: and of course we're going live with it just for
Speaker 5: a couple of dates, so fun next year. So I'm
Speaker 5: really really enthusiastic about it and I love it. I
Speaker 5: just feel the love and the support. It's been beautiful.
Speaker 5: And the movies we did see earlier in the week,
Speaker 5: the preview of Mowana Too, which has been doing amazing things,
Speaker 5: so take it with the kids, go and see it.
Speaker 5: Paddington three as well.
Speaker 3: Oh don't worry, I will be going to see that.
Speaker 3: Paddington was in my top five of movies.
Speaker 4: I even seen Paddington's Cordial.
Speaker 3: A great movie. Yeah, Oh it's brilliant.
Speaker 5: So I think he goes back to Peru one and
Speaker 5: it's seriously it's beautiful. It's so gorgeous. But yeah, Mowana
Speaker 5: has been doing even before it opened at the cinemas
Speaker 5: in the previews. In the US box office, it's done
Speaker 5: like fourteen million US just earlier in the week, So
Speaker 5: it's going I think it's going to be massive.
Speaker 3: I hear what they've done. Sped up stills.
Speaker 4: Movies has a series of many, many stills, back to back,
Speaker 4: created moving.
Speaker 5: But there's a beautiful line in Mawana where because you
Speaker 5: know she's she's no, she's one of the it's one
Speaker 5: of the Disney movies where she's not a princess. She's
Speaker 5: kind of like just a commoner. Moan is the daughter
Speaker 5: of the No, she's not a princess.
Speaker 4: But she's the daughter of the chief.
Speaker 5: And she's not a princess.
Speaker 3: She's pointing at you. Now she's going to you.
Speaker 5: And by the end of this it's beautiful because the
Speaker 5: people jack.
Speaker 3: The whole story.
Speaker 4: She's meant to be the next chief.
Speaker 5: It's just not a princess. I'm telling you, she's not
Speaker 5: a princess. Anyway. There's a line where Maui says to her,
Speaker 5: but everyone thinks you're a princess and she says, but
Speaker 5: I'm actually not and he's a bit weaking it now.
Speaker 5: It's so beautiful. It's so beautiful, go and see it.
