Speaker 5: like casual.
Speaker 1: Accessible as wine.
Speaker 2: When it's done badly, it's so elitist and snobbish, right,
Speaker 2: and this is how it's been for years in the UK,
Speaker 2: and it's all like there's some kind of like elitness
Speaker 2: about it. What was great when I moved to Australia
Speaker 2: is there's none of that. Yeah, it's in the any
Speaker 2: So I like it when you go and wine shops here,
Speaker 2: or even bottle shops, you see tradees who know what
Speaker 2: kind of wines they like.
Speaker 1: I really like that. It's not like that in the UK.
Speaker 2: There is horrible snobbishness about it, you know, Whereas here

Speaker 2: You're just not strong enough when it goes next episode,
Speaker 2: I'm not strong enough. Yeah it's terrible, but then you

Speaker 7: You finally got around to seeing Poor Things with Emma Stone,
Speaker 7: which absolutely scooped the Oscars. She got Best Actress, that

Speaker 7: just as a family, and Chris said, let's have a
Speaker 7: look at this. We haven't seen it yet yet. Rave
Speaker 7: reviews all these awards. Anyway, when you sit down and
Speaker 7: turn it on, you think, oh, this is weird.
Speaker 4: It is so weird.
Speaker 1: So what's it about.
Speaker 7: So it's about a young woman and this doctor who
Speaker 7: essentially so she takes her own life and he gets
Speaker 7: her set in Victoriana, London, and he essentially gives her
Speaker 7: a like puts her baby's brain because she was pregnant
Speaker 7: at the time.
Speaker 1: It's very dark, I know, but it's fascinating. It sounds
Speaker 1: nothing but dark, I know, but.
Speaker 7: Puts another brain essentially in her.
Speaker 1: Head, telling them about the wines of the right.
Speaker 4: But she gets a baby's brain witch.
Speaker 7: Room, Yes, yes, yes, and then it's like her awakening
Speaker 7: and she like, it's weird. It is really strange. There
Speaker 7: are dogs with ducks heads on them.
Speaker 4: I'll say no more, I'm in it's really.
Speaker 1: Are you sure not a funny chime?
Speaker 4: Stop?
Speaker 2: Clap's drunk on a plane the other days you've had
Speaker 2: one of these cheese dreams. That's not a movie an oscar.
Speaker 7: It is weird, and we're all sitting there in the
Speaker 7: opening sort of minutes of it, going wow, this is weird.
Speaker 7: This is like nothing we've ever seen before. But it
Speaker 7: is gripping and you can't stop watching. She is so amazing,
Speaker 7: no wonder she got the oscar. But it's beautifully made.
Speaker 7: So it starts out as black and white and in
Speaker 7: transitions to color like it's stunning.
Speaker 1: So she gets the baby brain of her dog.
Speaker 7: No with ahead, she gets the brain of her unborn baby.
Speaker 1: And whyould anyone want that formed? I mean walk or talk?
Speaker 7: So it's weird. It's William Dafoe. It's got Mark ruffle.
Speaker 1: Let me guess William Defoe is a doctor.
Speaker 2: Yes, some kind of creep.
Speaker 7: And there's a really funny dance scene with Mark Ruffalo,
Speaker 7: who's her love interest initially, and it is absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 7: So it's it's weird, it's like creepy.
Speaker 1: It's you know what you brought me over the edge.
Speaker 1: It's nicely stuff.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's different, and that's what we just sort of,
Speaker 2: you know, watch the same stuff and eat the same food.
Speaker 7: General the time, and it takes you out of out
Speaker 7: of that space.
Speaker 2: So poor things now understand, it's not it's poor things
Speaker 2: as in.
Speaker 1: P A W.
Speaker 2: No, oh, they missed the truth.
Speaker 4: But it's weird.
Speaker 7: And then they turn They turned Mark Ruffalo into half man,
Speaker 7: half dog at the end of it.
Speaker 5: It's you've got to watch it, he says, like it
Speaker 5: makes sense.
Speaker 4: And obviously they turned my buffalo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just presumed it ended with him as half Mark,
Speaker 2: half dog, which half half.
Speaker 4: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Were you smoking anything, Pats? He loves the vapor at

Speaker 6: When we first arrived here in Melbourne, what we didn't
Speaker 6: realize is that a lot of Melbourne CBD was demolished,
Speaker 6: destroyed with the Wrecking Ball. And there's this famous story,
Speaker 6: a lot of famous stories.
Speaker 1: It's called the.
Speaker 6: Lost City of Melbourne and it tells the story of
Speaker 6: the golden Age of Melbourne. It's demolition and then it's preservation.
Speaker 6: It's on Netflix and it's a fascinating walk through history
Speaker 6: of this great city. And if you don't know much
Speaker 6: about Melbourne, which we didn't, it's a really good way
Speaker 6: of finding more out about it. So what's Melbourne famous for.
Speaker 6: It's laneways. Who knew that all these laneways in Melbourne
Speaker 6: were all different names. So there was Exhibition Street. It
Speaker 6: used to be called Stephen Street, really really dodgy area.
Speaker 6: They changed the Exhibition Street because they wanted to sort of,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 1: Perfect it up a bit rebranded.
Speaker 6: There was Bilking Square that was a really really awful
Speaker 6: place that was in the city as well. And bilking
Speaker 6: was the practice of taking a man's trousers off and
Speaker 6: taking all his money.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: He gave them his money, told us that they stole
Speaker 2: his money.
Speaker 1: Pilking that's what he was up to in that.
Speaker 2: You know, one man's pilking time is one man's pilking time.
Speaker 2: It's nothing to do with us what you did with
Speaker 2: those three guys in that fauna.
Speaker 5: They're renaming the sauna now. They didn't like the sound
Speaker 5: of it before the rebranded Pilking Room.
Speaker 1: Bringing pilking back.
Speaker 6: It was really interesting and so and all the old
Speaker 6: picture theaters they are all demolished, like the Padua Theater.
Speaker 6: Our older listeners will probably remember that in Brunswick, replaced
Speaker 6: by a shopping center.
Speaker 4: So I just.
Speaker 2: Really enjoyed the history what's it called again, So it's
Speaker 2: on Netflix.
Speaker 1: It's called The Lost City of Melbourne. Great, okay.
Speaker 2: We'll take the latest news and sport and please share
Speaker 2: what you're into at the moment.
