Speaker 4: we sadly lost this week, far too young at seventy nine.
Speaker 4: And I was thinking some of my favorite movies, and
Speaker 4: there's so many. I watched Father of the Bride last
Speaker 4: Saturday night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we watched it Monday night with the girls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there was one because I said so, which
Speaker 4: was a two thousand and seven flicking, you know, just
Speaker 4: a romantic, sort of funny story of an overbearing mum
Speaker 4: with three grown up daughters and trying to get them
Speaker 4: set for life and essentially and this is something that
Speaker 4: I'm grappling with right now with Audrey. You have done
Speaker 4: so with your two girls, that whole thing of letting
Speaker 4: go as a parent. And so Diane's character she there's
Speaker 4: this beautiful monologue in one of the scenes where she says,
Speaker 4: you know, how do I let go and let essentially
Speaker 4: let you fly, Bertie Fly.
Speaker 5: It's just gorgeous.
Speaker 2: She could do incredible drama like movies, not the Godfather,
Speaker 2: than the comedies, romantic comedies. I've never seen Dane Keen
Speaker 2: in a bad movie. No, I don't think she made
Speaker 2: any bad movies. Now incredible ones. If you really are
Speaker 2: looking for something a movie to watch every weekend, you
Speaker 2: can't go past any of the light forty odd movies
Speaker 2: I think I saw at the other day. She made
Speaker 2: incredible range. All right, what else? Patsy gets your daughter?
Speaker 4: The other thing last night we watched I Like Me,
Speaker 4: which is the John Candy documentary.
Speaker 1: Oh I've seen this idea.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, is it joyous.
Speaker 1: That's what a funny, funny guy.
Speaker 4: Absolutely and what a talent. And it's directed by Colin Hanks,
Speaker 4: which is Tom.
Speaker 1: Hanks's son, gifty comedian himself.
Speaker 4: Awayane Reddold's as well, And it's really got a hues
Speaker 4: who of Hollywood has not paying homage to John Candy
Speaker 4: and just how realistic and authentic he was on the screen,
Speaker 4: and how he brought his total self to the screen
Speaker 4: and grappling with several things like imposter syndrome later in
Speaker 4: his career, also the loss of his father at just five,
Speaker 4: and how he brought that desire for connection and family
Speaker 4: to the screen. And you know, there's that scene in Planes,
Speaker 4: Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin where Steve Martin has
Speaker 4: a go at him in the hotel room, you know,
Speaker 4: saying how useless he was, and he says, I like me.
Speaker 5: And it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's a really moving comedy. Planes Trains and Utobiles. I
Speaker 2: love Steve By and it's one of my comic heroes.
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you now, Planes Trains and Automobiles is
Speaker 2: John Candy's movie. Yes, it's not the same movie without
Speaker 2: John Candy. He provides all the heart in it as well,
Speaker 2: and proper old school screen presence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seemed like cool runnings.
Speaker 2: There should just be a twenty four hour movie channel
Speaker 2: that just shows John Candy movies. This relentlessly funny. It's
Speaker 2: one of those guys. Is built for comedy as well.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And that scene in the train station where
Speaker 4: Steve Martin cost and he's just sitting there and he's
Speaker 4: told him that he's on his way home to his wife,
Speaker 4: but of course his wife has died like eight years before.
Speaker 5: There is no wife.
Speaker 4: Steve Martin said, they actually when they went to final cut,
Speaker 4: they cut a heap out of it, and he said,
Speaker 4: I wish they hadn't because it was just the most extraordinary.
Speaker 2: You can see the foreman scene online. Oh oh my god,

Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell Show Every Friday. We got around the team
Speaker 2: first half hour the show. We call it double thumbs
Speaker 2: up the things that we're enjoying at the moment. Two
Speaker 2: TV shows for me. One's a big new show on
Speaker 2: Netflix called Boots. Set in the nineties, bully teenager joins
Speaker 2: his best friend. They decided to impulsively go and join
Speaker 2: the US Marines. It's about boot camp. It's about identity,
Speaker 2: coming of age, camaraderie. It is so joyous and really funny.
Speaker 2: I absolutely loving it. Cannot recommend it enough. Really really
Speaker 2: really great show as well. It's very very good set
Speaker 2: in the nineties. That's Boots on Netflix. And if you
Speaker 2: like a TV show that is grim, will.
Speaker 1: Break your heart. I've got the show for you.
Speaker 2: My wife refused to watch it and keep saying to
Speaker 2: me afterwards when I just come out, I'm quiet about
Speaker 2: five or tens. You've got to put yourself back together.
Speaker 2: It's the same writer and showrunn a guy called Brad
Speaker 2: Inglesby who did Mayor of East Town, Right.
Speaker 1: I wish it were a.
Speaker 2: Great couple of seasons of a really great crime drama.
Speaker 2: This is called Task. It's the best thing I've ever
Speaker 2: seen Mark Ruffalo do. Oh my god, this is blown
Speaker 2: me away. It's week by week and normally get quite
Speaker 2: irritated with that because these days with selfish, I.
Speaker 1: Want I watch it. Oh now.
Speaker 2: I want to watch it now, ain't myself time? Give
Speaker 2: it to me now? But it's on once a week.
Speaker 2: It's worth it. If you really do like TV shows
Speaker 2: that are layered and it's complex. It blurs the line
Speaker 2: completely between good and bad. It's basically the TV show
Speaker 2: Remember the movie Heat. Well, you've got cops and robbers,
Speaker 2: but they kind of a grudge and respect between each other.
Speaker 1: It's like a TV modern day version of that.
Speaker 2: Oh you would bloody love? Oh my god, I do.
Speaker 2: This show actually made me cry this week. It's a
Speaker 2: beautiful show, but it is not. If you're looking for
Speaker 2: a feel good show, stick to Boots. If you wanted
Speaker 2: a bit grim If the National made the TV detective show,
Speaker 2: they would make Tasks. I have loved it Rio.
Speaker 1: What's it for you? Mate? What do you can? Double
Speaker 1: thumbs up?

Speaker 6: actually saw it at the Melbourne Film Festival. It got
Speaker 6: a big standing ovation. It's awesome. It is an ausy
Speaker 6: comedy set at the turn of the millennium, so a
Speaker 6: y two k house party with a time traveling.

Speaker 7: With Diane Kayden who passed away in the week at
Speaker 7: age seventy nine. And I guess this is such a
Speaker 7: great film for her range the Godfather trilogy.
Speaker 1: She was in Godfather one.
Speaker 7: And two, and apparently the director Francis Ford Coppola, he
Speaker 7: saw her in Lovers and Other Strangers and cast her
Speaker 7: for the role of Kay Adams in The Godfather, which
Speaker 7: was Michael Corleoni's wife who was not in the mafia,
Speaker 7: had nothing to do with the mafia.
Speaker 1: At Kay.
Speaker 7: She's this white Anglo Saxon Protestant American and she provides
Speaker 7: that kind.
Speaker 1: Of that good that good versus evil.
Speaker 7: She always wants Michael Corleoni sort of to legitimize the
Speaker 7: business and tries to protect her children from that awful,
Speaker 7: awful crime family, I suppose, and she was family.
Speaker 5: Well, you know that's the.
Speaker 1: Lucy Goosey.
Speaker 2: It's not all at sea, far from it.
Speaker 1: That's not quite the American gene lads, and you know
Speaker 1: it come on.
Speaker 7: Anyways, she didn't want to be in Godfather too, but
Speaker 7: she read the script and let's do it.
Speaker 1: And yes, it was so so good in it. And
Speaker 1: massive respect to her.
Speaker 2: If you're a Godfather fan, right, I cannot recommend enough
Speaker 2: a book I read last year, Take the Canoi. It's
Speaker 2: about the making of the Godfather. Every chapter is a
Speaker 2: badly believable story, almost a story of the making of
Speaker 2: the Godfather is almost just as dramatic and entertaining as
Speaker 2: the actual movie itself. Highest dressing film ever made, Such
Speaker 2: a great movie, incredible.
Speaker 7: I've got one more off. Oh yeah, I'm just can
Speaker 7: I just talk about the croissants at BP. Like the

Speaker 7: highly recommend them. Croissanted BP getting you'll love it. Love
Speaker 7: and they really are they really buttery.
Speaker 1: They're so buttery.
Speaker 2: They're so crunchy cross right now in trouble is very messy.
Speaker 1: Aren't they?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 5: Very hard to eat with any dignity.
Speaker 2: You're a mess after brushing for the next hour.
Speaker 6: Maybe we should get a French person to try the
Speaker 6: bpequas on and get a real French review to see
Speaker 6: if this up to stand it.
Speaker 1: I'm not remotely interested in doing that.
Speaker 7: Put them out of blindfold and we'll give them like
Speaker 7: different croissants.
Speaker 2: And is matched to get get out of the whole
Speaker 2: One year Old Lady Interview this week, all right, don't
