Speaker 5: Went and saw Devil Wears prior to too Now. I
Speaker 5: have to preface this with saying when I came out,
Speaker 5: I wasn't that impressed. I thought, well, that's not quite
Speaker 5: as good as the first one, and I thought, if anything,
Speaker 5: I've had lovely little two hours with my fourteen year
Speaker 5: old We went and saw it together.
Speaker 4: Yes, as a good hang.
Speaker 5: As I have processed it across the last five or
Speaker 5: six days, I like it more and it's like no, no, no,
Speaker 5: you missed the point. It is so much deeper. It's
Speaker 5: a beautiful script. It is glossy, not as glossy as
Speaker 5: the first. It's beautiful. It's picturesque. Part of it's shot
Speaker 5: in Italy and the lovely Galleria with all the fashion
Speaker 5: stores and everything.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's nice.
Speaker 5: It's got the original cast, of course, with the addition
Speaker 5: of Patrick Bramile.
Speaker 4: I know, incredible.
Speaker 2: Who is He's so natural on screen?
Speaker 4: Big American? Oh yeah, such a talent today.
Speaker 2: And I love now you can be an Aussie on screen.
Speaker 2: He didn't have to.
Speaker 5: Be an American and he's an Australian builder essentially.
Speaker 2: So it was beautiful.
Speaker 5: Miranda is so much more mellow now than she was
Speaker 5: in the first.
Speaker 2: It's tweter.
Speaker 4: I've never seen the first one.
Speaker 1: I'm watching it this weekend right with my daughters, and
Speaker 1: then we're all going to go and see the second
Speaker 1: one next week.
Speaker 4: Really, i've never seen it. It's so good, it's very now.
Speaker 4: I'm watching it this weekend. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: It's like a Mother's Day thing. We're going to do
Speaker 1: it my wife for all Saturday night. We're all sitting
Speaker 1: down and watching it together. I've never seen it. Talk
Speaker 1: about Miranda. Is that Anne Hathaway?
Speaker 2: No, No, no, that's Meryl Street Women right now.
Speaker 4: Are all not in their head? Go come on this guy?
Speaker 5: Yes, so she plays like the Enna win Tour character
Speaker 5: and quite ruthless in the first one. But you know,
Speaker 5: the media landscapes changed and the Runway magazine has had
Speaker 5: to make cutbacks and she has to hang up around.
Speaker 1: Great Stanny Tucci is in as well, who I love.
Speaker 1: I was watching the interviews with the cast, and you
Speaker 1: know he directed a lot of it, did he really?
Speaker 1: And they said the way he works At four o'clock
Speaker 1: it stops and he has a mini cocktail maker on
Speaker 1: him and he starts making everyone Minnie martinis.
Speaker 4: What is a classy app, isn't he? So you recommend it?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
Speaker 5: It speaks to women in their fifties who are aging
Speaker 5: in the workforce, and it also speaks to mothers who
Speaker 5: make sacrifices, professional women, any working woman who makes sacrifices
Speaker 5: being a mum.
Speaker 2: It's lovely. You'll love it.
Speaker 4: Great, can't wait?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to draw the first one first of
Speaker 1: all this weekend, rio, What have you enjoyed this week?
Speaker 3: Guys? It is a big day today, the Big Guy's birthday, mister,
Speaker 3: I should say, sir, David Attenbrough's one hundredth birthday.
Speaker 1: How many generations have been inspired to the one that
Speaker 1: around us, in the natural world, above us, around us
Speaker 1: and beneath us as well.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: There's some stat that he's the only person to have
Speaker 3: won a Bafta in the black and white color and
Speaker 3: four k.
Speaker 1: Era, one of the few people to have a double
Speaker 1: night as well. He's actually got his two sirs. It
Speaker 1: really should be sir, Sir David Attenborough.
Speaker 4: Wait, how does that work? I don't know.
Speaker 1: He got on the eighties and he got in the
Speaker 1: last eight years.
Speaker 4: He's got two different forms of knighthood.
Speaker 2: One was for like animals and preservation.
Speaker 4: They all got together. The apes bloody love him, you know.
Speaker 2: The environment I think was for the second one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that man is done so much and just beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful shows.
Speaker 4: So there's a new one, isn't there.
Speaker 3: There's a new one. It's called a Gorilla Story and
Speaker 3: it's beautiful. So it goes back. There's an iconic Attenborough
Speaker 3: moment back in the seventies where he goes into the
Speaker 3: Rwandan jungle and he's just sort of creeping up near
Speaker 3: these gorillas.
Speaker 1: And then massive there's silver backs as well. It's an
Speaker 1: incredible moment of natural reporting as well.
Speaker 4: He's very brave. They're huge, Yeah, two hundred and fifty keels.
Speaker 3: And one of the little one comes over and starts
Speaker 3: sort of playing with him, and he starts playing with
Speaker 3: it back well, very gently, and then the big.
Speaker 2: Mama comes behind him.
Speaker 3: And puts her hand on his head and they have
Speaker 3: this moment. And he still is so good at his
Speaker 3: job that he has the wherewithal to be able to
Speaker 3: look to the camera and commentate and said, he's really
Speaker 3: profound things.
Speaker 1: He's lying there, one of them's messing with his hand,
Speaker 1: one of them start to do under his shoelaceers like
Speaker 1: five or six and watching it has been blown away
Speaker 1: by watch. The time was so edgy as still as
Speaker 1: now if you saw a reporter doing that now it's
Speaker 1: taking now, it's so drone shots. It's made a lot cheaper.
Speaker 1: They don't get actual humans on location. Now there's cheap
Speaker 1: boy to do it. But he was out there, which
Speaker 1: brought it somehow closer to your front rooms around the world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it makes you feel so differently about animals
Speaker 3: and nature and you see them as these you know,
Speaker 3: intient beings. And he goes back, well, he doesn't technically
Speaker 3: go back. They go back to the Rwandan jungle to
Speaker 3: see what that the Pablo family, which is the gorillas,
Speaker 3: and what's.
Speaker 4: Happened to them.
Speaker 3: And interestingly, the numbers are still going quite well. But
Speaker 3: they've got like this gang warfare going on between these
Speaker 3: two big honchos Ibuzu and Jirakuzi, and they've got this
Speaker 3: sort of Godfather esque sort of turf war going on.
Speaker 2: It's fascinating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is amazing.
Speaker 1: One of the most interesting and enjoyable people I've had
Speaker 1: a pleasure of interviewing as well, and an owl with him.
Speaker 1: What a funny, funny, charismatic, twinkly eyed guy as well,
Speaker 1: so many incredible stories as well. He's lived such an
Speaker 1: extraordinary life. And the thing is, now, what's sad is
Speaker 1: if you watch the last couple of years because of
Speaker 1: the mess we've made of this natural planet, just when
Speaker 1: you hear him too, it feels like he's telling us
Speaker 1: all off and he should be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, every single I remember the in Oceans, He's
Speaker 3: last one as well, this really moving monologue.
Speaker 4: About the big waves crashing.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes we should play some of it and some
Speaker 1: of his classic bits as well. And I've got two
Speaker 1: TV shows for you that I highly recommend as well.
Speaker 1: Finished watching Big Mistakes. I was raving about this last week,
Speaker 1: Dan Levy's show on Netflix. Obviously it's Dad Eugene Big
Speaker 1: Star and they're when Shit's Creaked Together. It's his own show,
Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant half hour episodes.
Speaker 4: Loved it, really great.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that coming cliffhangers at the end as well,
Speaker 1: really really enjoyed it, really funny.
Speaker 4: And then the other one.
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the year when they're
Speaker 1: talking about best TV shows of the year, this will
Speaker 1: go down as the most original TV show of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. It's the big new show on Apple TV
Speaker 1: called Widows Bay.
Speaker 4: Styles are brilliant.
Speaker 1: Matthew Reese, if you ever saw the Americans, great actor.
Speaker 1: It's got vibes of like Twin Peaks, So it's a
Speaker 1: kind of not horror, I don't like horror, but more
Speaker 1: mystery sort of vibes to it, mixed with Parks and Rex.
Speaker 1: He says, mayor of a small line and there's something
Speaker 1: odd going on, and yeah.
Speaker 4: It's so good. It's five out of five for me.
Speaker 4: That great.
Speaker 1: My Family on the version to stop watching because they
Speaker 1: keep getting scared by the jump scares. But it's very
Speaker 1: smartly done, like Hitscott, where it's just off camera. It's
Speaker 1: not it's not too much, it's not too vivid, right,
Speaker 1: but we don't want anything too full on right now
Speaker 1: the way the world is. You want something mild mildly scary,
Speaker 1: but I cannot recommend enough. That's called Widows Bay. It's brilliant.
Speaker 1: That's on Apple TV.
