149
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 7: Well, I think back then I definitely did, and that

150
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 7: because I thought it's the only way it'll ever get

151
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 7: any publicity, you know, because you start writing and no

152
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 7: one cared, and so something I made a movie and

153
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 7: then you go, actually, no, I don't the book will

154
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 7: be all right, and then twenty one years later someone

155
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 7: might make a TV series. It's pretty funny.

156
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: Really, it's actually pretty cool, to be honest, that's very cool. Yeah,

00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's you know, I think it's just a

163
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 7: fascinating thing to see how someone else translates spook. And

164
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 7: so the writer of the show, you know, their geniuses

165
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 7: really and they get almost no credits, so you know,

166
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 7: people like Sarah Lambert and Kirsty Fisher they wrote the

167
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 7: TV so and I'm sort of in awe of them. So, yeah,

168
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 7: no pressure on they.

169
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: Really speaking of that though, I mean, it is your baby.

170
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: How much artistic input do you get into the making

171
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: of a show like The Messenger or indeed when they

172
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: turn you know, books like the book The If into movies.

173
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think a lot depends on how inclusive the

174
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 7: producers are, and in this case, they were really inclusive.

175
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 7: They were really respectful to the book, even though they've

176
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 7: got to change things, you know, and that's going to

177
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 7: change things because it's a different medium. But they really

178
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 7: kept the heart of the book, and so I think

179
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 7: the TV series is better than the book in a

180
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 7: lot of ways. Well it's true, I mean because across

181
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 7: a you know, now I'm going to make excuses that statement,

182
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 7: which is across covering myself. Now, across across an episode,

183
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 7: I sort of get to They've made the world of

184
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 7: the book bigger, and they can go deeper, you know,

185
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 7: more often into the characters. So, you know, I'm so

186
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 7: happy with it. I really love it. And anytime you

187
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 7: want to associate yourself with something that's been made of

188
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 7: one of your books, I mean, that's such a huge.

189
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 4: Plas might have real was the screening and did you

190
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: sit down and watch the whole thing at once?

191
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 7: I saw the first two episodes with the producers and

192
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 7: Sarah Lambert, who was the main writer, and they sat

193
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 7: up the back. I sat up the front with my wife,

194
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 7: you know, and I think they were sort of thing,

195
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 7: we're just showing the first team. You know, we'll see

196
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 7: how that goes, and you know, and I just loved it.

197
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 7: And then we watched the next six pretty much back

198
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 7: to back at home and I think it gets better

199
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 7: as it goes, and you know, by the time you

200
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 7: hit episode seven and eight, you're just totally in and

201
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 7: you're really invested in the characters, and you know, and

202
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 7: you're so cheering for them, you know, and you can't

203
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 7: ask so much more than that.

204
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: I think, Well, The Messenger was one of the first

205
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: books you wrote, but we've got to talk about just

206
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: a couple of things you've done since, particularly a book

207
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: that I think features in the top ten favorites of

208
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: most people I know, my bookie friends, and that's the

209
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: book Thief. Congratulations on one of the most beautifully written

210
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: stories I've ever read.

211
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you. I mean I was writing that book, honestly,

212
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 7: and I thought, no one's going to read this, Yeah,

213
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 7: no one? Well, I thought, you know, I imagine someone

214
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 7: trying to recommend it to their friends and the friend says,

215
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 7: what's it about? You know? Set in Nazi Germany, narrated

216
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 7: by death, nearly everyone dies, and it's five hundred and

217
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 7: eighty pages long.

218
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: You'll love it, Yeah, you know.

219
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 7: I I think it just shows you that, you know,

220
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 7: sometimes the best way to achieve any kind of success,

221
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 7: especially in something like writing, is to imagine that there'll

222
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 7: be no success at all. And that's how you stay

223
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 7: pure to what it has to be. And that's every

224
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 7: time there was a risk to be taken with that book,

225
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 7: I go, oh, well, no one's going to read it anyway.

226
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 7: I might as well just do what I want. And

227
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 7: I think that's how it became such a pure piece of.

228
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 5: Work and such a best seller.

229
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I honestly could you know, I still to

230
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 7: this day, you know, and now that's going at fifteen

231
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 7: or sixteen years if that came out and that box

232
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 7: sort of had the legs and you sort of go,

233
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 7: I still never take it for granted. I can't. I

234
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 7: can't sit around looking and do the on the waterfront speech.

235
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 7: You know, I never got my shot at the time.

236
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 7: I've had my breaks and then some, so you know,

237
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 7: I'm just really fortunate.

238
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: Well that is very.

239
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: Intertul and you don't want writers to be, you know,

240
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: have that in their mind about what it may become

241
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 4: later on. You don't want to alter what theism of

242
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 4: the magic you might come up with.

243
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: Marcus.

244
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 7: No, that's right, and you just don't know. I mean,

245
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 7: and look at this in the case of The Messenger,

246
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 7: where twenty one years later, something happens for it, and

247
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 7: so you've you've got to think I might not be

248
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 7: rewarded for this at all, or you know, to a

249
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 7: lesser extent, might not be on water for this. Now

250
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 7: you know it might might come later on, you know.

251
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 7: So it's just one of it's one of the nice

252
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 7: hysical parts of the job that you don't know where

253
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 7: or how any kind of success is going to come.

254
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 5: Do you enjoy narrating the audio versions of your books?

255
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: I know you've done Bridge of Clay, which is another

256
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: lengthy time absolutely so different to the book they've too,

257
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: a really quintessentially Australian sort of epic tale.

258
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: How do you enjoy narrating them?

259
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what. I've never gone again. You know,

260
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 7: there's one of those things where you go, yeah, all right,

261
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 7: I've done that now, purely because I wasn't very good

262
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 7: at it, I think, And you just you've got to

263
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 7: recognize where like sometimes you've got to put yourself into

264
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 7: darker waters because you never know what capabilities are. And

265
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 7: I just think you know, when actors do something like that,

266
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 7: you might sit there and say, ah, they missed a

267
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 7: good line or they missed a good moment. But for

268
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 7: everything they missed, they find ten things in something you

269
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 7: wouldn't have got, you got something out of and so

270
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 7: I think next time I'll absolutely leave that to the professionals.

271
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 7: I'm glad I.

272
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: Did it, but I've done that.

273
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a good way to say goodbye to

274
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 7: a book that took me thirteen years to write.

275
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: I was wondering how long it took to write.

276
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: Well.

277
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 3: The Messenger begins eight twenty Sunday on ABC and ABC

278
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: I view cannot wait.

279
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 5: Marcus.

280
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: Thank you from me for the joy that you have

281
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: brought to my book reading days, because the book Thief

282
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: and Bridge Clay are two of my favorites, just absolutely

283
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: beautiful pieces of work.

284
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 7: Thank you so much. You know it means the world

285
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 7: because you never think anyone's going to read what you've written.

286
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 7: So you know, I'm glad.

287
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: Any doubt and don't worry about it. Marcus.

288
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: I can see the excitement in the building and the

289
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: wave of excitement book clubs across per and you were

290
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 4: going to talk to the other day, So it's good.

291
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 7: To absolutely pleasure.

292
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you. It's lovely to talk to you

293
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 2: same here.

294
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 7: Have a top day.

00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: More crazy but.

296
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: More Lisa, More podcasts soon, Lisa.

297
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on this time of year,

298
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 4: but it's not it doesn't seem to be just me.

299
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: But I'm having really weird deep dreams.

300
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 5: Are you eating cheese before bed?

301
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: No?

302
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: Not necessarily, not really. I don't know. I don't know

303
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: if it's is it something to do with the time

304
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: of year, is it the weather or is it the moon?

305
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: A lot of people.

306
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: Someone suggested to me yesterday, maybe it's because it's a

307
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 4: be cool tote having deeper sleep. I don't know if

308
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: that's true. I asked for scientific back, some connection. Now

309
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: I've got nothing there. But I did wake up this

310
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: morning with a very sore jaw on the side, and

311
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: you probably won't be surprised. I probably was dreaming about

312
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: eating what are you really? Most likely I don't.

313
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: Remember, I remember what you were dreaming about.

314
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: I've been having dreams about falling, and I actually feel

315
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: like I'm falling in there. That's weird, that dream, Yeah,

316
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: not actually falling out of bed. Laurie reckons. I've been

317
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: running in most sleep a lot, which is pretty well.

318
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: I don't what I'm running from, but my dreams can

319
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 4: get they're almost like Spielberg, kind of like a Spielberg

320
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: film like adventures, and quite often they're a lot more

321
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: Raiders of the Lost Ark than Jaws or Shindler's but

322
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: they're quite incredible adventures, and I feel like there's a

323
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 4: lot of fear and danger and the chance of great

324
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: reward at the end, which sort of marries up with

325
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 4: barracking for free out for twenty nine years, it never

326
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: really comes true.

327
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: My dreams are like, I'm not shy, love, I don't

328
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: know what's going on.

329
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: So you're not dreaming any differently right now?

330
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: No, because you know I dream weird and a lot

331
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 5: all the time.

332
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: You do.

333
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: And I can't even tell you about the couple that

334
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 3: I've had just in the last week, though you are

335
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: right they've been a little different to my usual.

336
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: This ereie isn't when you wake up you go, oh,

337
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: I really dream that. So they say you dreams can

338
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: imitate life, but in a weird sort of like Stranger

339
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: Things upside down kind of with the dreams segn. I

340
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 4: think it's weird because sometimes they're similar to life but

341
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: just a bit different. So I had a dream last

342
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: night where I was explaining to someone there was photos

343
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: of my dad, right, Red, and my dad in his

344
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: day in these thirties or forties was a dead ringer

345
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: for Ed Devereux, the actor in the Australian show Skippy. Yeah,

346
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 4: and I was explaining to this person and the comb

347
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 4: so no, it's my dad, Red, What are you talking about?

348
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: Weird stuff like that, Okay, But I must admit that

349
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: I have more dreams about my work wife than my

350
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 4: life wife, right, that's weird. I have so many dreams

351
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 4: of you and I because we spent a lot of

352
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: time in this, in this little fishbowl in here. I

353
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: have dreams of you and I going off air, you

354
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: and I leaving work, going to a motel and no,

355
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 4: I'm going to joking. You and I have dreamsjjar puff

356
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: and stuff, dreams going to a sleazy motel on Greates nightway, No,

357
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 4: not that way. I have dreams of you and I

358
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: losing guests, like actually later Woodley walking in and then

359
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 4: we just lose them and we're doing we're doing things

360
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: on the air, you know those kind of weird. Yeah,

361
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 4: really strangely weird. But the one I have the most

362
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: is that I call you Lisa Maxine. Way too many

363
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 4: times and you give me the face he does, go Anthony,

364
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: thank you.

365
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: The Sure Report on ninety six AIRFM.

366
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 3: Remember that Netflix movie bird Box, the one with Sandra

367
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 3: Bullock where everyone had to wear blindfolds to avoid seeing

368
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: the mysterious force that was wiping out the population.

369
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 5: I liked it, some people I hated it.

370
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: It rates as one of Netflix's top films, and now

371
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 3: it's getting a spin off, bird Box Barcelona is set

372
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: in Spain at the same time as the original film.

373
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: It follows the same plot, and it's due out July fourteenth.

374
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: One of the great ironies Clarzy of playing a great

375
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: character on TV is it can limit your future roles.

376
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: I mean, think this guy for example, No Cramer, look,

377
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: just leave me alone. Michael Richards was so good as

378
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 3: Kramer he typecast himself into oblivion. Well, someone who else

379
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: who gets it is Henry Winkler. Recent interview, he's been

380
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 3: talking about how he couldn't get hired for years after

381
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: starting in Happy Days. Once the Fonds, always the Fonds.

382
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: Okay, because I'm the Fond.

383
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: Speaking to the US today, Winkler said, there were eight

384
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 3: or nine years at a time when I couldn't get

385
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 3: hired because I was typecast as the Fonds. In the end, though,

386
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: he managed to reinvent himself and went on to play

387
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: loads of different roles, including in comedy series such as

388
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: Arrested Development and Barry. Meeting the Parents is intimidating enough

389
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: as it is, I imagine, but can you imagine how

390
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 3: much more intimidating it'd be if that parent was Rambo.

391
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: Don't push it, don't push it.

392
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 5: I'll give you a more your belief.

393
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: Let it go, John Rambo, Wow, this is my dad.

394
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: In the build up to the release of their new

395
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: reality TV series The Family Stallone, Sylvester Stallone's daughters Sophia,

396
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 3: Cistine and Scarlet have opened up about what it's like

397
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 3: to date. When easier dad One says, well, we're single

398
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: dot dot That says it all. Another said it's very difficult.

399
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: Guys don't always return, while Sly says I just don't

400
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: trust their intentions because I know men. You're you're the

401
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 3: father of a daughter, yes, and a very attractive young lady. Yes,

402
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 3: my dad, which probably makes it even worse.

403
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 5: What was it like?

404
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: Terrifying? In a word, terrifying.

405
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 4: And I've never owned arms, but I thought about a shotgun,

406
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: and then I thought it may lead to more trouble.

407
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 4: But it is really, really, really weird. But there's a

408
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 4: certain time where you God, don't let them go. Oh

409
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean you don't.

410
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: Stop caring, worry and come back. Yeah that's right. Yeah,

411
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: but then again, I'm not Rainbow or Rocky. Who's going

412
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: to hit you?

413
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 7: Like it?

414
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Please more Clezy more Lisa Poor podcasts Great the f

415
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: with Ben Ocea on ninety six.

416
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 3: FM, The Book Club The Next Chapter Book Club two.

417
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 8: So I'm going to start this review with some statistics,

418
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 8: like all good movie reviews. So, according to the United Nations,

419
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 8: the over sixty five demographic is the fastest growing age

420
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 8: group on the planet. Right, So, for the first time

421
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 8: in human history, back in twenty eighteen, what did you say,

422
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 8: over sixty five?

423
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: Over sixty fives?

424
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 8: So back in twenty eighteen, for the first time in

425
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 8: human history, there were more people over sixty five than

426
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 8: there were under five. It's never happened before. And in like,

427
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 8: by the year twenty fifty, a quarter of all people

428
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 8: living in Europe and North America will be sixty five

429
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 8: or older. So it's a rapidly increasing aging sopulation around

430
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 8: the world.

431
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: Right, it's a bit of pressure on pensions, doesn't it.

432
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 8: But the entertainment industry really hasn't really catered to this

433
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 8: group very.

434
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: Well at all.

435
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 8: But now all of a sudden they've realized, you know what,

436
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 8: people over sixty five have money, they have time, and

437
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 8: they also are from a generation who loves going to

438
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 8: the movies. Yes, they have an attention span, not like

439
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 8: the kids these days who want to see their moving

440
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 8: pictures on the tickety top.

441
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 5: It's not over forty five seconds.

442
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: It's boring.

443
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 8: And so so along came The Book Club in twenty eighteen,

444
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 8: starring an all icons cast. You have Oscar winners Diane Keaton,

445
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 8: Jane Fonder, Mary Steenbergen, Ted Danson's wife, and also like

446
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 8: a multi multi Emmy winner, Candas Bergen from Murphy Brown fame.

447
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 8: So they just don't get much better than that. As

448
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 8: far as as far as actresses help line they put

449
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 8: them into. This comedy was a mediocre. It was about

450
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 8: a book club, four lifelong friends. They decide the book

451
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 8: of the month is going to be fifty shades of gray,

452
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 8: and then things get a bit raunchy from there and

453
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 8: they start aging disgracefully.

454
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing. Making that book. The book it was

455
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: like predictable.

456
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 8: It kind of was a bit patronized exactly, but it

457
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 8: made a ton of money, like I made one hundred

458
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 8: and fifty million dollars around the world. And so of

459
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 8: course they're going to do a sequel. That's what book Club.

460
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 8: The next chapter is. There's no really book attached to it,

461
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 8: you know, so I don't expect any kind of literally

462
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 8: literary examination here. Instead, they decide to go on a

463
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 8: jaunt to Italy, ostensibly as a hen's trip for Jane

464
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 8: Fonda's character before she gets married to Don Johnson. And

465
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 8: so off they go. And that's the thing. There's some

466
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 8: great older actors in here, Andy Garcia as well and

467
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 8: Don Johnson. It's a really cool cast in the same

468
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 8: four women, the same for women. So all the girls

469
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 8: are back. They go to Italy, they tour around Rome,

470
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 8: go to Tuscany, Venice, some classic.

471
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 5: Some classico, yes, basic.

472
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 8: Some beautiful scenery. So there's a lot of that going on.

473
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 8: The jokes bizarrely off color, like the sort of jokes

474
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 8: you find in a Seth Rogan movie. There's a joke

475
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 8: about mother Teresa and what she does while she's I'm

476
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 8: not even going to go into it, but let's just

477
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 8: say it is so in a propriate I'm not apprude,

478
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 8: but you give them.

479
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: Blues.

480
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 8: It's definitely none is behaving badly and but the performances

481
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 8: from the key cast are all really good. But unfortunately

482
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 8: the dialogue is just so clunky, like it is some

483
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 8: of the worst dialogue you'll see in a movie, which

484
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 8: is just such a shame when you have these amazing

485
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 8: actresses and then you give them such a terrible script

486
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 8: to work with, and it's so mad, you know, like

487
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 8: they can get into trouble with the cops over over

488
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 8: some rubbish and then they have to will they make

489
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 8: it to the you know, to the wedding on time.

490
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 8: It's just the biggest bunch of cliches you could ever imagine,

491
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 8: and it doesn't really showcase their talents as.

492
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: Well as it might have.

493
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 3: You can't just get a great cast and think that's

494
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: gonna enough.

495
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 5: It's not enough to them.

496
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 4: To watch all the exotic Merrygold hotel movies that being

497
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 4: into this one moment and.

498
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 8: That's that's the thing, right crowd. The British do this

499
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 8: type of cinema very well. They do cater to older

500
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 8: or in a way that Hollywood hasn't been able to

501
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 8: figure out, and movies like Best Exotic Marriagot Hotel is

502
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 8: a great example of how to do it well. This

503
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 8: is the opposite spectrum, but it will still probably do well,

504
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 8: just because there are not many options for people who

505
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 8: want to see people that look like them on the screen,

506
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 8: and you're over sixty five.

507
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighty five, and the audience not going to I spoke.

508
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 8: To I spoke to her last week. She's doing fantastically well. Yep,

509
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 8: coming back, coming back from not Hodgkins last year.

510
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 5: You spoke to it.

511
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 8: That's I think that's the sort of joke that was

512
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 8: in the movie

513
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: How many Cheeseboards book Club ninety two and a half

514
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: cheese balls, then the dialogue, thank you be crazy Lisa
