Speaker 1: DC this week b.
Speaker 4: F each B.
Speaker 1: Have we been drinking? Not yet? Although one today's show?
Speaker 2: Are we still going to do the game I came
Speaker 2: up with yesterday where we guess try and guess listener's
Speaker 2: favorite drink.
Speaker 1: I am actually really to look forward to that. I
Speaker 1: don't know why.
Speaker 4: You're pretty good at it. You had a real knack
Speaker 4: for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, So let's go double thumbers up
Speaker 2: this week. Go around the team every Friday and we
Speaker 2: talk about the things that we're really enjoying in the moment.
Speaker 2: The TV show, a movie, a snack, a book, an
Speaker 2: whatever rio you kick off?
Speaker 1: Actually this Friday BF, what is it?
Speaker 5: I think I have the most controversial double thumbs up ever.
Speaker 5: All's fair on Disney Plus Now. For some reason, not
Speaker 5: only to them, Disney gave Kim Kardashian a lot of
Speaker 5: money to produce write and start in her own legal drama.
Speaker 4: The reception has been terrible. It got zero stars on Guardian.
Speaker 5: It's got four percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest premiere
Speaker 5: of any show in the last.
Speaker 2: Now you are selling it, selling it, selling it because
Speaker 2: the only reason I know about this is the girls
Speaker 2: move back in this weekend from university. So they're back
Speaker 2: home for a couple of weeks now over Christmas, right,
Speaker 2: and they said, Dad, we have to watch this Kim
Speaker 2: Kardashian thing and then a hambokot.
Speaker 1: Life's been packed.
Speaker 2: But you know, when something is, it's better that it's either.
Speaker 1: Brilliant or so bad mediocre. Shell. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see it. It can't crash. I can't wait. Think you're Disney.
Speaker 1: Will would not have wanted this. You're the home of storytelling.
Speaker 5: The reviews the Guardian called it incomprehensibly existentially.
Speaker 2: Terrible, existentially terrible. I dream of doing radio breaks like that.
Speaker 5: One wonders if this is a social experiment to see
Speaker 5: if you can get away with making the most transparently
Speaker 5: terrible show on Disney's dime.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 4: Once you start watching, you will not be able to start.
Speaker 5: It is so bad it's so so bad, but there's.
Speaker 1: Such what is she? What is? What is she in it?
Speaker 4: So she's a female divorce lawyer.
Speaker 5: It's sort of like a modern twist on First Wives Club?
Speaker 6: Is that?
Speaker 4: What's good?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Wives Club?
Speaker 5: But she's somehow dragged in Naomi Watts and Glenn Close.
Speaker 1: What I saw, I saw the trays trouble though. You
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's Kardashian.
Speaker 4: Money.
Speaker 5: But the plots are ridiculous, so far fetched, so unbeloved.
Speaker 2: It's brilliantly this thing you ever recommend that a terrible
Speaker 2: TV show that wait for is existentially bad?
Speaker 7: It ironic that she's just failed the bar exam or
Speaker 7: did she as well?
Speaker 4: It hasn't. She's trailed. I didn't know.
Speaker 5: But please just just watch it so we can all
Speaker 5: talk about it.
Speaker 1: Okay, terrible.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Friday morning, we're doing double thumbs up. We go around
Speaker 2: the team talking about the TV shows and movies, the
Speaker 2: things that we're enjoying at the moment. So if you're
Speaker 2: parallelized by choice every Friday on the couch, we've got
Speaker 2: you two things to me. One is a TV show
Speaker 2: wanted a movie movie? I saw a watch last week.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize this movie came out a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago. It's a Netflix film starring Glenn Powell and
Speaker 2: Jonathan Major's true life story of the US Navy's first
Speaker 2: black fighter pilot.
Speaker 1: It is an amazing movie. It is so good.
Speaker 2: It's about it reminding me of a quality we don't
Speaker 2: hear enough of these days. Character. Oh my god, it's
Speaker 2: a true, real life story. It's inspirational. It is so good.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: It's called Devotion. Cannot recommend enough. Just a really smart,
Speaker 2: well made movie. In Glenn Powell, I know, he's like
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise's sort of prodigy at the moment, is brilliant
Speaker 2: in it. He's really really good. I got what all
Speaker 2: the hype is about. I saw a different kind of
Speaker 2: actor in him.
Speaker 1: It was great.
Speaker 4: He's the first black pilot.
Speaker 2: No, he's the He's fighter pilot Tom Hudner, the best
Speaker 2: friend of Jonathan Majors. Just so chrystically. In case any
Speaker 2: of you were like, how they get made? What is
Speaker 2: that the eighties? I mean, I know, he's a good action,
Speaker 2: but you can't do that. And then the other one
Speaker 2: is a brand new TV show from the TV genius
Speaker 2: That is Vince Gilligan who came up with and wrote
Speaker 2: Breaking Bad and then almost top that really with Beta
Speaker 2: Call Saul. Now has got a new show out called Pluribus.
Speaker 2: It stars Kim Wexler, Rhea Seahorn, obviously the co star
Speaker 2: of Breaking Bad and Beta Called Saul. It is brilliant.
Speaker 2: I've seen the first two episodes. It's outstanding. It's a
Speaker 2: hell of an idea. You know, we all go like
Speaker 2: it is obviously this week on the show and around
Speaker 2: the world World Kindness Day, there's been an alien invasion
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, and apart from about ten people
Speaker 2: around the world and the star of Arrea Sea Horn,
Speaker 2: it's the only person in America. Everybody else now has
Speaker 2: got some brain thing where they all get on with
Speaker 2: each other. Oh she hasn't impacted her.
Speaker 4: Oh she's okay.
Speaker 2: This is she's like a kind of misanthrope. She finds
Speaker 2: incredibly irritating being in a world. And so the idea
Speaker 2: is that it's getting us. This is an interview with
Speaker 2: there was. I wouldn't it be actually the world to
Speaker 2: be a worse place if we're all trying to be
Speaker 2: one hundred percent fake happy twenty four to seven.
Speaker 4: Well that was us yesterday. We couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: That's for the show apart.
Speaker 2: We're still healing on faint kindness anyways, called Pluribus. It
Speaker 2: is very very very good. Cannot recommend that enough, Patsy,
