Speaker 1: This is his real life love story for him and
Speaker 1: his wife.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, been obviously transported to America American eyed, but
Speaker 2: really it's John's story. It's amazing to see my friend John,
Speaker 2: John Bishop's name at the end in the story by
Speaker 2: John Bishop. John and his wife were separating and John
Speaker 2: was worked in South and then one night, just out
Speaker 2: of semi bored him, he put his name down to
Speaker 2: go and do stand up and open mic spot. Never
Speaker 2: done it before his life, and he then started it
Speaker 2: a couple more times. He was kind of lost in
Speaker 2: his life and about to break up with his school sweetheart,
Speaker 2: and on about his third or fourth open mic spot,
Speaker 2: his soon to be ex wife happened to be in
Speaker 2: the crowd. Obviously didn't see he goes up the lights,
Speaker 2: you can't see into the crowd. She fell back in
Speaker 2: love with the man he used to be. They started
Speaker 2: to date again. They'd be married twenty five years. This
Speaker 2: is his story. Amazing, goosebumps. This is such a lovely
Speaker 2: story that.
Speaker 4: Would be like, reminds me of the song. What's the
Speaker 4: Pinicolata song? You know how they write to the like that.
Speaker 2: That's not about a guy becoming a mega stand up
Speaker 2: Star's John wasn't having an effeir. I mean, you've actually
Speaker 2: listened to what I've said and translated into noise. When
Speaker 2: is Rio back?
Speaker 1: You should be the other side of the glass, the
Speaker 1: other side of the gloss.
Speaker 6: No, that's where I belong.
Speaker 5: Yes, it is very tough.
Speaker 2: Whatever story I say to you always go. It reminds
Speaker 2: me it's a bit like the Pinakolata song.
Speaker 3: I bloody loved that song.
Speaker 2: You wan to dedicate that just soon to me? Why
Speaker 2: all right, Patsy, what are you giving your double thumbs
Speaker 2: up to?
Speaker 3: Look?
Speaker 6: I was on the red carpet for Bez Luhrman's premiere
Speaker 6: of Epic yes Week, which is so when he made
Speaker 6: the Elvis movie with Jacob Alordie, the Aussie, they found
Speaker 6: uncovered all this Elvis never before seen Elvis footage. It
Speaker 6: was in the m G and m G M vault
Speaker 6: in the salt mines in Kansas. They put it there
Speaker 6: to preserve it. And as he was coming across all
Speaker 6: this footage for the movie, they found sixty five boxes
Speaker 6: of film and he thought, I've got to do something
Speaker 6: with this. Obviously, just a phenomenal fan of Elvis, and
Speaker 6: this has been a real labor of love. It's taken
Speaker 6: him like two years. He's worked with Lord of the
Speaker 6: Rings director Peter Jackson to come up with this. It's
Speaker 6: not really a docoh, it's not really a movie. It's
Speaker 6: just it's ninety five minutes and it is Elvis speaking,
Speaker 6: So it's it's a forty five minute interview with Elvis,
Speaker 6: and he he talks about everything. It's not so much
Speaker 6: showby's Elvis. It's about his life, what he believes. It
Speaker 6: is beautiful on the big screen, and honestly, some of
Speaker 6: the close ups are so close up and it almost
Speaker 6: it's in such pristine condition it almost looks like it's
Speaker 6: ai but it's absolutely not you love it parts. I
Speaker 6: loved it, loved it.
Speaker 1: It's a huge man.
Speaker 6: We've done Graceland all the rest of it. But yeah,
Speaker 6: he's close. Are so close you can nearly count the numbers.
Speaker 2: Spooky now what they lashes, how they can digitally render stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: And is it like he's still alive? Because I read
Speaker 2: a review and that's what I said. It's there's something
Speaker 2: spooky about it. It's incredibly immersive, and I.
Speaker 6: Think the thing too Christian is because there's a limited
Speaker 6: film of Elvis to an extent, and we've all seen
Speaker 6: it a million times. If you're a real fan, it's like,
Speaker 6: oh you've seen that, But this is you know, when
Speaker 6: you can get your eyes on something that you haven't
Speaker 6: seen before.
Speaker 1: He must have had to go through hundreds of hours.
Speaker 6: Absolute labor of love, and he had to match the
Speaker 6: footage with you know, and find the voice track.
Speaker 1: Like just what a beautiful man he was as well?
Speaker 1: It was just striking the.
Speaker 6: Most attractive man I think that's ever walked.
Speaker 1: Oh this is what about m Seeming?
Speaker 2: Oh no, you put him in a black Cat's I
Speaker 2: don't know who I can choose to dream.
Speaker 4: It's a.
Speaker 3: Bomb, but it was.
Speaker 6: It was just beautiful. So it opens in cinemas across
Speaker 6: the country next Thursday. If you can place see in
Speaker 6: on the screen. And Baz said, this is the world
Speaker 6: tour that Elvis never got to do. Say, and he
Speaker 6: did have a contract to tour in Australia, but the
Speaker 6: colonel blocked it. Apparently it was meant to tour here.
Speaker 6: So if you're an Elvis fan, go and see it.
Speaker 6: Epic Cinema's Australia wide next week.
Speaker 5: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Alex, what are you giving double thumbs up to? What
Speaker 2: are you enjoying at the moment.
Speaker 5: Well, look, my wife forced me to watch this and
Speaker 5: I thank Bonnie for doing that because it was amazing.
Speaker 5: It's to take that documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 1: We've just started watching it.
Speaker 5: It's so good, isn't it amazing? And it got like
Speaker 5: thirty five hours of sort of well thirty years, i
Speaker 5: should say, of footage that they've been able to use.
Speaker 5: And what they do They just run that footage over
Speaker 5: the interview, so you don't actually see any of the
Speaker 5: five guys on their faces. It's like a voiceover.
Speaker 1: I read it. I love how they do that, Yeah, because.
Speaker 5: They've got so much footage and it goes what a
Speaker 5: story as well, incredible story that these work in class lads.
Speaker 5: I love the Northern English accent. I've got to say it,
Speaker 5: especially Gaddy Barlow and.
Speaker 1: Can you understand it? Did you have it with captions?
Speaker 5: Some of what I didn't, Yeah, because they've got.
Speaker 2: Mates and they were like I couldn't understand a lot
Speaker 2: of what they were saying.
Speaker 1: It's not that bad.
Speaker 2: It's not we can't understand a lot of Australians are
Speaker 2: saying exactly.
Speaker 5: But look, I really enjoyed it, especially I guess what
Speaker 5: they came from and what they became and you know,
Speaker 5: I didn't know this, but though they had other names
Speaker 5: like cutus Rush, that was what they were before and
Speaker 5: then kick It as well, so they played around with
Speaker 5: a few bad names, but I'm glad they came up
Speaker 5: with take.
Speaker 2: It's just great seeing all that footage of when they were,
Speaker 2: like what all the bands your stuff do when they
Speaker 2: still have to go on like daytime TV and mine,
Speaker 2: and there was no effort to make it look live.
Speaker 2: You'd see no speakers, no amps, no microphones, just dancing
Speaker 2: and they were more like that but when they first
Speaker 2: start they looked more like male strippers and they used
Speaker 2: they used.
Speaker 1: To do all the big nightclubs as well in London. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were worked so hard and they still are
Speaker 2: brilliant live.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, and that do what you like. There's a
Speaker 5: film clip for that, and there's not many clothes on
Speaker 5: the lads. They're pretty much but naked.
Speaker 1: At some point.
Speaker 5: But no, and also the Robbie Williams part of it
Speaker 5: as well, Like how though, there was a really interesting
Speaker 5: quote from Gary Barlow saying none of us were looking sideways.
Speaker 5: We're all looking forwards and we weren't looking sideways at
Speaker 5: things like Robbie Williams going through what he was going through.
Speaker 5: And there's this footage of him clearly on something. Yes,
Speaker 5: just not in a good place.
Speaker 1: He's done.
Speaker 2: Robbie Williams has done so well to overcome his addiction
Speaker 2: sponsored by Elton John as well.
Speaker 1: We've gotten through all of that. It's incredible the whole story.
Speaker 2: And then obviously Gary Bardo very successful his zone right
Speaker 2: then the band getting back together. So yeah, we're about
Speaker 2: halfway through. I think it's outstanding. Great watch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so good Netflix. Three episodes just have a look,
Speaker 5: it's wonderful.
