1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Bread the Flick with Ben Osh on ninety six am 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: the morning. 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: Good morning. Now, I'm happy to bring some Kenneth Brenner 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: content to you today, Lisa. 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: You know I interviewed him once. I was not in 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: the flesh on the phone, but I had to go. 7 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: I had to go and see the first Thaw movie 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: to be able to do it. 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 2: So that was my one. 10 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: Venture into seeing a superhero movie because it meant I 11 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: could interview Kenneth Branner because. 12 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: He directed it. It was an interesting film, it. 13 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: Was It was different to any of the others, and 14 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: I had a bit of a Shakespearean thought of it 15 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: before me. 16 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, every minute. 17 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 2: Well now he's back behind the camera and in front 18 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: of it for another Hercule Poirot murder mystery. So these 19 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: films are of course based on the books of Agatha Christie, 20 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: and this is the third installment of Branner's Poirot. It 21 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: was a TV series I won on the ABC for 22 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: many many years, and the first one, a Murder on 23 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: the oron Express star studded car, made a ton of money. 24 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: The second one, Death on the Nile, also a star 25 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: starded cast made a ton of money. Between the two 26 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: of them, I think they've made seven hundred and fifty 27 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: million at the box office, which is not bad going. 28 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: And so this third one comes along, and it is 29 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,279 Speaker 2: really a departure from the other two. So Kenneth Brenner 30 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: and his screenwriter, who's worked with on all of these movies, 31 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 2: wanted to do something a bit different. So for starters, 32 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: they took one of Agatha Christie's lesser known books, certainly 33 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: compared to the other two. Yeah, taken one that I 34 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 2: think a lot of people might not be familiar with. Yeah, 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: you might be thinking, did Agatha Christie ever write a 36 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: book called a Haunting in Venice? No, she didn't. Her 37 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: book the film is based on is Halloween Party. So 38 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: Halloween Party was I think the thirty eighth Poiroh mystery 39 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: that she wrote. And so then so they've changed it 40 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: quite a lot as well. Whereas the first two movies 41 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: were really pretty faithful adaptations, this one that completely chucked 42 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: Agatha Christie's book out the window and made the film 43 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: that they wanted to make instead less And you can't 44 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: mark around with murder on the bark around with the classics. Now, 45 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: I think Kenneth Browner kind of earned the right to 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: be a little bit adventurous because the first two movies 47 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: were so successful and his Poirot character is so awesome. 48 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: I think the Agatha Christie estate was like, we'll give 49 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: you a bit of lead. I spoke to Agatha Christie's 50 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 2: great grandson and the best big was referred to Sir 51 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: Kenneth Branner as Ken, you Ken, Ken, I was speaking 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: to Ken. They how good is that? Anyway? So he 53 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 2: was a pretty old fellow. So instead of being set 54 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: in a country a state like Agatha Christie's Halloween Party book, 55 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 2: it's set in Venice. We find Hercule Perot, the famed detective, 56 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: has retired from detecting. He's just taken it easy. He 57 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: lives in this palazzo on the canals, and his biggest 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: worry each day is whether or not his delivery of 59 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: pastries is going to a right at the time, he 60 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: has a bodyguard who follows him everywhere because people always 61 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: hassling him. Borrow, I've got a problem. Can you solve 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: my mystery? And this and this Italian bodyguard keeps them away, 63 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: so he kind of gets to keep his peace and quiet. 64 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, his his rest is interrupted 65 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 2: by the arrival of this brash American murder mystery author 66 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: played by the Great Tina Fay Ariadne Oliver, who rocks 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: up and says, look, Poirot, I know you've retired. 68 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: You're not fans loud, it's really and so. 69 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: But I'm glad you did because I can see this 70 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: look on your face and I was like, oh am, 71 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: I doing a bad job. What's going on thinking up 72 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: the joint. So Tina Fey arrives and says to Poirot, Okay, like, 73 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: I know you've retired, but you know, this world famous 74 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: spirit medium is in Venice for a seance and I 75 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: haven't been able to debunk her techniques. Would you consider 76 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: coming along to this seance and see if you can 77 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: figure out how she does it? Because she's you know, 78 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: it's really driving me crazy and goes, ah, okay, that's 79 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: a favor for you, I'll do it. The spirit medium 80 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: is played by I'm a bit nervous to say anyone 81 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: else's name now Michelle Yo. Oh, no, the great Michelle 82 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: yo who is actually brilliant as this spirit medium. They 83 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: go to this this old palazzo that is cursed because 84 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: it used to be a children's hospital, the kids died, 85 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: all this kind of stuff pretty I know. And so anyway, 86 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: this seance happens and it is wild, but you know Poirot, 87 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 2: he's he's pretty good at seeing through this stuff. But 88 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: then there's a murder, an actual murder, and all of 89 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 2: a sudden it seems like they might be supernatural anything. 90 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 2: I'm not telling you who done it. You have to 91 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: watch the movie. And so and so. Then in classic 92 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: Poirot fashion, locks everybody in the palazzo. No one is leaving. 93 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: There's a huge storm outside, and then everybody who's in 94 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: the building at the time, one of them is the killer. 95 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: So he goes one by one trying to solve the 96 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: mystery in classic Poirot fashion. And he's got the mustache, 97 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: he's got the accent, has got his past he does 98 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: or he gets pretty cranky in the lack of pastries. 99 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: But otherwise it's a very very fun film. The Mustache. 100 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: It's all the scale, you know, like a train across Europe, 101 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: a boat down the river Nile. This is just all 102 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: contained within christ classic Christie, classic Christy kind of situation. 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: The star starded cast is not really there either. You've 104 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: got Jamie Dornan who Kenneth to work on Belfast and 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: is very good in this as well. You've got Kelly 106 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 2: Riley who's from Yellowstone with Kevin Costner. But it's mostly 107 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: a cast of lesser non talent, and it's kind of 108 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: a bit supernatural. It's a bit of a almost like 109 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: a horror movie times, which is a bit different from 110 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: previous movies. 111 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: Refreshing how he's had given a bit of a different 112 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: tit of a spook. 113 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: It gives me more confidence that there'll be a bunch 114 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: more Poio movies in the future. All in all, it's 115 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: probably not the greatest of the three films. It's kind of, 116 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: you know, smaller in its ambition. It's still very enjoyable. 117 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: Kenneth Browner is great and you know, go along to 118 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 2: the movies for one of those classic who'd done it films? 119 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: All right, how many twirling mustaches are you giving it? 120 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: Let me give this one three radio. 121 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: Back in the day when we used to go to 122 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 1: the five o'clock session, you know with our parents, Clerzy, 123 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: the latest Agatha Christie movie was like looked forward to 124 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: and received like you know they look to the Marvel 125 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: movies these days. Yes, it was amazing so it's nice 126 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: to see it make a. 127 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: Bit of it. Still still going pretty strong. Thank you Ben, 128 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 2: Thank guys Man. 129 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: Next time, casting directors will have to go through Lisa first, 130 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: the shortest. 131 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: No Tina Fay.
