Speaker 1: I could get home. We're not going to go to macaus.
Speaker 1: I'll make a burger on the macs before go to

Speaker 1: an early birthday dinner for my forthcoming birthday. It's not

Speaker 1: You knew that you're very good about people's birthdays. Actual, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: We're going off to rock pool. Stakes are amazing. All right,
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break when we come back.
Speaker 1: Then we're getting into this week's double thumbs up. This
Speaker 1: is where me, Jack and Pats we go around the
Speaker 1: team talk about the things that we're into this week
Speaker 1: Gold one I four point three.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Okay, so every week this is the spot where we
Speaker 1: talk about the shows or apps or books whenever we're into.
Speaker 1: At the moment, there's something that I really want to
Speaker 1: talk about, which has become actually the biggest TV show
Speaker 1: in the world. If you've been online, you cannot escape
Speaker 1: the well deserved hype about what I think will become
Speaker 1: probably one of the most important TV shows of this decade.
Speaker 1: And I really mean that. It's a TV show that
Speaker 1: I really recommend it. I think it's actually essential viewing
Speaker 1: for parents, definitely, but even it's seemed for anyone to
Speaker 1: understand what is happening to young kids online. The TV
Speaker 1: show is called Adolescens, and technically I've never seen a
Speaker 1: TV show made like this. It is a technical masterpiece.
Speaker 1: Four episodes. By the way, sixty nine million people have
Speaker 1: seen the show in under the last two weeks. The
Speaker 1: greatest thing is it's the biggest TV show in the
Speaker 1: world right now, and it's really about something so so good.
Speaker 1: It's on Netflix and it's four episodes. There are an
Speaker 1: hour long each and technically people are raving about it
Speaker 1: and they should do because each episode is just one
Speaker 1: continuous take. How the cast and crew did this and
Speaker 1: pulled off is it's astonisher.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't watch that behind the scenes. It isn't told
Speaker 3: me about it. Well, it's just incredible what they pulled off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not just a technical masterpiece. It's the
Speaker 1: story itself is the star. And the thing about this
Speaker 1: one shot isn't just like a gimmick. It means that
Speaker 1: the camera never leaves the action. It's so it makes
Speaker 1: it really really iive about what the storyline is. So
Speaker 1: it is about on one lever, it's about knife crime
Speaker 1: and a young boy accused of it. There are no
Speaker 1: spoilers because this isn't a who done it. In the
Speaker 1: first episode, you realize sad that this young boy has
Speaker 1: been radicalized online and he has done it. And then
Speaker 1: it's every parent's worst nightmare about that cute little boy
Speaker 1: who was in his bedroom and you thought was safe
Speaker 1: is in another world that you didn't know what was
Speaker 1: going on with him. And that is me and every
Speaker 1: single parent. You think they're safe when they're in the bedrooms,
Speaker 1: but there's another world that we actually don't know much about,
Speaker 1: and we spend so much time as parents sort of
Speaker 1: teaching them how to cross the roads and don't talk
Speaker 1: to strangers. We don't really talk about how on earth
Speaker 1: you meant to navigate online. And when I first heard
Speaker 1: about it, because it does break you watching this TV show,
Speaker 1: but in the right way it does, you need to
Speaker 1: watch us. I actually was a scream it. She's like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch that about a kid Acusan Mona.
Speaker 1: But my daughter actually rang me after watching two episodes
Speaker 1: a dad, you really need to watch this, So I'm
Speaker 1: glad she did. It's incredible. And after watching it, I
Speaker 1: actually had big conversations that I've never been able to
Speaker 1: have with my eighteen and twenty year old daughters. And
Speaker 1: you know me, I'm very close close to both my daughters,
Speaker 1: but about their world. I really didn't know how bad
Speaker 1: it was. And then all these stories would come out,
Speaker 1: stuff that they've tried to tell SA and about images
Speaker 1: they've been sent, and when we would then react, they go, oh,
Speaker 1: there's no point getting angry. This is just the way
Speaker 1: it is. It's normalized. So for any parent, you really
Speaker 1: should be watching this TV show. It's a beautiful show.
Speaker 1: Stephen Graham. It's a masterclass in acting from him. But
Speaker 1: there's this kid who everyone is talking about called Owen Cooper.
Speaker 1: He'd never done any acting before in his life. Stephen
Speaker 1: Graham Castle is the first scene is episode three, which
Speaker 1: everyone keeps talking about. It's one of the best hours
Speaker 1: of TV I think I've ever seen. That was the
Speaker 1: first episode they shot, so that's his debut in front
Speaker 1: of a camera and it. Yeah, I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: recommend it enough. It's a really important TV show and
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't sound like I'm lecturing people like
Speaker 1: everyone needs to watch it. I invite you to watch it.
Speaker 1: And I felt squeamish. I feel embarrassed when I said
Speaker 1: to my daughter, I don't want to watch that. That's
Speaker 1: a downer. It will break you, but in the right way.
Speaker 1: And actually it's a hard, uncomfortable, confrontational watch at times.
Speaker 1: But it is an unprecedentally hard time to be a
Speaker 1: kid right now. It's harder to be a kid than
Speaker 1: when we were growing up. We didn't have to navigate
Speaker 1: cyber bullying and everything that's going on right now. It's
Speaker 1: called adolescence. Probably most valuable thing I can ever say
Speaker 1: on this feature is to watch that show. It's an
Speaker 1: incredible show. You guys will seen it, haven't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. You can't underuse the word masterpiece. It
Speaker 3: really is the best show I've seen in years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is a good topic open night. If
Speaker 4: you have, like Audrey's Nelly fourteen, do sit down with
Speaker 4: your child because then it opens the discussion of you know,
Speaker 4: it's a good circuit breaker for that. So yeah, highly recommended.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, we'll come back. The show, don't talking about
Speaker 1: It's on Netflix. It's called Adolescence And if you watch it,
Speaker 1: send me no afterwards. I'd love to know what it
Speaker 1: opened up for you guys in your family as well.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show, Vodka.
Speaker 1: Patsy, what are you giving your double thumbs up to?
Speaker 4: I am going to buck the trend and it is
Speaker 4: a divisive movie that's out in the cinemas at the moment,
Speaker 4: and that is Snow White and the live, the live
Speaker 4: version of it. You know, they've done all the treatments
Speaker 4: for a lot of the others and now they're doing
Speaker 4: the classic Waltz Masterpiece, the very first animated movie.
Speaker 1: Have you seen it? Parts?
Speaker 4: I've seen it. I went to the premiere and we
Speaker 4: loved it. We loved it, and look, there is a
Speaker 4: lot of controversy around it, but we really really loved it.
Speaker 4: I thought it brought it into the modern age. It
Speaker 4: wasn't it wasn't woke, it wasn't anything like that. I
Speaker 4: thought it was perfectly sack getting it.
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything.
Speaker 4: It's actually go to a movie and just enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Take it on.
Speaker 1: It's laura.
Speaker 3: I've never seen snow white. It would god it like
Speaker 3: the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 4: Nineteen thirty eight is.
Speaker 1: You probably went to the premiere red copy. No, that
Speaker 1: is it would have been. It would have been a
Speaker 1: black and white car.
Speaker 4: Shot gun.
Speaker 1: But good on your pants because everybody else is just
Speaker 1: it's like a pylon.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm a bit biased. I loved it. Go and
Speaker 4: see it while it's in cinemas on the big screen.
Speaker 4: It's a great experience. The other thing I think I
Speaker 4: found my favorite thing ever that I've brought from ald
Speaker 4: and that is their buttered chicken.
Speaker 1: You waited there like a micro right, okay of long
Speaker 1: standard dishes in the world. Wow, how have they done that?
Speaker 1: Put butter and chicken?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, it's producer Caitlin is with me on this.
Speaker 4: We were comparing notes the other day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, easily impressed. No, no, easily impressed. Bogan's shop it No,
Speaker 1: I love right, great savings. I'm just saying that in
Speaker 1: terms of how easy it is to impress her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's easy, it's quick, it's easy, it's delicious.
Speaker 3: Have you tried the Roddy there as well? Because we
Speaker 3: have friends who rave about the Oh, I love it.
Speaker 4: Right, the juices and yogurts.
Speaker 1: It's my favorite Indian restaurant. It is called the rotty Body.
Speaker 4: But this is brilliant. Put in the slow cooker.
Speaker 1: On slow slow, I'd accidentally trip and put it in
Speaker 1: the microwave. What will happen?
Speaker 4: Well, I'll probably go well robbery, wouldn't it in all leathery?
Speaker 4: But but a chicken aldi get on it.
Speaker 3: It's gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Have you thought that? What came? What's going on that sister.
Speaker 4: Stopped sending me stuff?
Speaker 1: Well, because you've plugged everything ever you did every day,
Speaker 1: there's nothing that you haven't given airtime to. Jackie boy,
Speaker 1: what are you giving double thumbs up to? This week?
Speaker 3: Every Sunday, Bianca and I take it in turns to
Speaker 3: plan a family outing and I knocked mine out of
Speaker 3: the park. On Sunday we went to this place called
Speaker 3: Paint Lab at Blender Studios. It's in West Melbourne and
Speaker 3: what they do is you go into this room that
Speaker 3: has paint spluttered all over the walls. You put on
Speaker 3: protective clothing and they give you a canvas each and
Speaker 3: super soakers full of paints, bridges full of paint, growing
Speaker 3: paint around.
Speaker 1: I want to do something.
Speaker 3: I want to paint labat. We took Gordy because we
Speaker 3: thought he's making.
Speaker 1: Amends all the time anyway.
Speaker 3: But I would highly recommend it, even for adults. It's
Speaker 3: not just for kids. That he was the only kid
Speaker 3: there that day. It was unbelievable. Funk and I had
Speaker 3: so much fun making our canvases. And now we've got
Speaker 3: all three of them. Can you bring them home after
Speaker 3: they drive?
Speaker 1: That's West Melbourne and it's got the places called Blender
Speaker 1: Studios and the experiences called Paint Lab.
