Speaker 1: Good day before we kick off today's very special episode,
Speaker 1: which was recorded before a live audience at the Melbourne
Speaker 1: International Comedy Festival on April ten. It was amazing and
Speaker 1: because it was a live audience, there was some excitement
Speaker 1: in the room. Everyone was wonderful. I just want to
Speaker 1: put out like a warning. There is some language. It's
Speaker 1: more so early. There's a bit of a bit of
Speaker 1: a carpet bombing of a certain word that goes for
Speaker 1: about ten or fifteen seconds, and then everything kind of
Speaker 1: straightens out after that. There are also some references to Nazis,
Speaker 1: because hey, this movie has Nazis. But we had a
Speaker 1: great time. I really hope you would enjoy it. Thanks
Speaker 1: to everyone who came to the live show. We can't
Speaker 1: wait to do it again. But for now, you enjoy
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: But nine hundred years old you read your bookishood you
Speaker 2: were not?
Speaker 3: Yeah?

Speaker 3: and you came. Thank you very much, Melbourne. It is
Speaker 3: great to be here. We gotta get pretty much straight
Speaker 3: into it, all right, are you ready to kick start?
Speaker 3: This is the very first one. Welcome, so you ain't
Speaker 3: say nothing yet.
Speaker 1: A movie podcast where I interview movie lover about a
Speaker 1: classic or beloved movie they haven't quite got around to
Speaker 1: watching until now.
Speaker 3: And today's guest is a dear friend of mine.
Speaker 1: I've worked with her on radio, on TV, from Roadulife
Speaker 1: to the Project and more recent on how to Stay Married.
Speaker 1: Quite simply, there is no one better. There is no
Speaker 1: one funnier. Ladies and gentlemen, Judith Lucy.
Speaker 5: I will disappoint you for that introduction. I cannot live
Speaker 5: up to that. Hello, Peter, Hell, are you what a delight.
Speaker 3: We're on stage with you? So this is amazing that
Speaker 3: you're here. It's incredible, It is incredible.
Speaker 1: I asked you how to Sydney Airport in the lounge
Speaker 1: before I even started. It was there's an idea and
Speaker 1: you when you told me that you hadn't seen and
Speaker 1: we'll get into it very soon this movie, I was like,
Speaker 1: you need to do it. And now in season four,
Speaker 1: you join us on stage, and it's gonna be very exciting.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 5: I do feel like you asked me about seventeen years ago,
Speaker 5: but here.
Speaker 3: We are finally all right, you gonna kick us off? Jude.
Speaker 5: I am so as a movie lover, Pete. You know
Speaker 5: I'm appalled at the notion of my three favorite films,
Speaker 5: so I will just give you a classic and two
Speaker 5: recent ones. Those three films are June.
Speaker 4: The Space Extends Life.
Speaker 5: Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and The Godfather.
Speaker 6: Come Up Girl?
Speaker 3: Have I said my name is Judith? Lucy?
Speaker 5: Have I said hello, I'm funny lady? And up until
Speaker 5: last week, I had not seen the sound of music.
Speaker 3: With the sound newz.
Speaker 1: Here's decades before Franz Dresher fell in love with mister Sheffield,
Speaker 1: Julie Andrews was a nanny who has set the straighten
Speaker 1: out and a group of unruly kids.
Speaker 3: Her name, of course, was Mary Poppins, but the year
Speaker 3: after that, in nineteen sixty five, she was an umbradoless nun.
Speaker 1: Sister Maria, who is set to straightened out another seven
Speaker 1: unruly kids after the mean girl nuns decide she doesn't
Speaker 1: have what to take for the nunnery.
Speaker 3: There she meets Liesel, my first crush.
Speaker 1: Frederick, Louisa, Kurt, Brigeta, Marta and Gretel. She dresses them
Speaker 1: in curtains. She takes him on the picnic on a mountain,
Speaker 1: a ride on the train, a bike ride, a change
Speaker 1: of wardrobe, and the sing along all on the same day.
Speaker 3: And I don't win to once. I'm calling bullshit on that,
Speaker 3: to be honest.
Speaker 1: She also meets the kid's father, the whistle happy disciplinarian,
Speaker 1: the widowed Captain von Trapp played by Christopher Plummer, a
Speaker 1: proud Austrian who just doesn't realize just how much he
Speaker 1: needs music and love in his life. Nominated for ten
Speaker 1: Oscars and bagging half of those, including Best Picture and
Speaker 1: Best Director, Robert Wise, The Sound of Music Lives Alpine,
Speaker 1: high in the top echelon of all time great films.
Speaker 1: Judith Lucy as a matter of interest, what is it
Speaker 1: you can't face?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 5: You jumped in there and Pete had to tell me,
Speaker 5: because I'm not really on social media that it was
Speaker 5: a bit of a thing that the mother superior says,
Speaker 5: what is it you can't face? But apparently people think
Speaker 5: she's saying cunt facts.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: I was deeply disappointed that she didn't actually say last.
Speaker 5: And I was also quite surprised because look, I went
Speaker 5: to a school with mercy nuns and they were nutty
Speaker 5: for it.
Speaker 3: Honestly.
Speaker 5: Every morning Sister Jemma would turn to us and say,
Speaker 5: come on, girls, it's time for our cunting assembly. So
Speaker 5: that was my there's disappointment with the film. Boy, times
Speaker 5: have changed, haven't they? Because the other thing, when I
Speaker 5: watched the movie, it actually said at the beginning warning
Speaker 5: depictions of tobacco. So I was also hoping that the
Speaker 5: Mother Superior might roll up a dooby, but also that
Speaker 5: did not happen.
Speaker 3: We have started hot, no doubt about that. I know
Speaker 3: several times.
Speaker 5: Three in the afternoon, isn't it frailing? And it's a Sunday,
Speaker 5: we all shall be in church.
Speaker 1: So I mean, when I tell people that you had
Speaker 1: not seen the sound of music, their jaws literally drop.
Speaker 1: I was shocked. I would have assumed it was one
Speaker 1: of your favorite films. You raise Catholic, you love movies.
Speaker 1: You were the host of a movie show for a time,
Speaker 1: so why maybe the only other one was Sampang who
Speaker 1: hadn't seen the castle. Sampang works for the guys who
Speaker 1: made the castle.
Speaker 5: He's a contrarian though year and he's shifty. You can't
Speaker 5: I can't trust Sampan.
Speaker 3: I've always said that, why have you not or had
Speaker 3: you not seen this? Look?
Speaker 5: And it is a reasonable question because I'm obsessed with nuns.
Speaker 5: I thought I was going to be a nun for
Speaker 5: about seven hours, you know, like every Catholic schoolgirl of
Speaker 5: my generation, I think. And it does have everything I
Speaker 5: love in a movie. Nuns, Nazis and romance. You can't
Speaker 5: go wrong, can you. And it's also surprising because the
Speaker 5: television was on in our household twenty four hours a day.
Speaker 5: It was like the fifth member of the family. I mean,
Speaker 5: to be honest with you. I watched so much television
Speaker 5: as a child. I thought the skipper from Gilligan's Island
Speaker 5: was my father. And we weren't just watching television. We
Speaker 5: were watching movies because my mum was a huge movie
Speaker 5: buff and old movies like and I saw all of
Speaker 5: those old musicals, you know, from Oklahoma to High Society,
Speaker 5: Annie gets your Gun and I don't now have a
Speaker 5: sound of music slip through our fingers.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: Mum was Irish, so she loathed the English and women,
Speaker 5: so maybe maybe she just had a thing for Julie Andrews.
Speaker 5: But so it slipped through the cracks anyway. And then
Speaker 5: I think by the time I was in my twenties,
Speaker 5: I started to realize that almost everyone else on the
Speaker 5: face of the earth had seen the sound of music.
Speaker 5: So then I just decided to kind of double down
Speaker 5: on it, do you know what I mean? I just
Speaker 5: decided to turn an oversight into some sort of triumph
Speaker 5: and go, well, I'm never gonna see it now, because
Speaker 5: I bet it's terrible. I mean in the same way
Speaker 5: that I've never set foot in an Aldie, and I
Speaker 5: feel like ship has simply sailed that I will never
Speaker 5: set foot in an Aldi. So that's kind of how
Speaker 5: I was about the sound.
Speaker 3: Of My next podcast is actually where haven't you been yet?
Speaker 1: So before we move on to your favorite films, and
Speaker 1: of course we'll come back and talk a lot about
Speaker 1: the sound of music, let's maybe play for those who
Speaker 1: also weren't aware of what went viral as far as
Speaker 1: what is it you can't face? Let's have a look
Speaker 1: at that scene and see if you agree what he's
Speaker 1: been said.
Speaker 4: You've been unhappy. I'm sorry, reverend mother.
Speaker 2: Why did they send you back to us?
Speaker 4: They didn't send me back? Mother? I left.
Speaker 2: Sit down, Maria, tell me what happened?
Speaker 7: Well, I I was frightened.
Speaker 2: Frightened. Well, they unkind?
Speaker 7: Do you all know?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 2: I was confused. I felt.
Speaker 4: I've never felt that way before.
Speaker 9: I couldn't say I knew that here I'd be away
Speaker 9: from it, I'd be safe.
Speaker 2: Maria, our abbey is not to be used as an escape.
Speaker 2: But is it? You can't face.
Speaker 5: I think you're clutching at a sweary straw there myself.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about June's this is the original
Speaker 1: or the recent.
Speaker 3: June on the original?
Speaker 9: Get out?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: Because yeah, I just wanted to mention a couple of
Speaker 5: recent films because June I was so excited, because how
Speaker 5: good was it to go back to the cinema when
Speaker 5: we couldn't go for a couple of years. So I
Speaker 5: had a couple of false starts, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 5: the Bond film will be great to see on the
Speaker 5: big screen, Little Bored and French Dispatch Love Wes Anderson.
Speaker 5: That movie didn't add up to a hill of beans.
Speaker 5: But then when I saw June at Imax. The only
Speaker 5: time I wasn't completely engrossed in the movie was when
Speaker 5: I was thinking, this is what cinema is all about.
Speaker 3: I lost my mind. I loved it.
Speaker 5: I think he's an incredible director. So yeah, that would
Speaker 5: that's the best thing I've seen recently. And Portrait of
Speaker 5: a Lady on Fire was my favorite lockdown film.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that one. Oh.
Speaker 5: I cannot recommend it highly enough. French film, it's sort
Speaker 5: of it's a deceptively simple story. There's very little dialogue,
Speaker 5: there's almost no music. I loved it.
Speaker 1: And then of course the classic The Godfather, which is
Speaker 1: my favorite film. I say, I say you got Father
Speaker 1: and Godfather Part two of my favorite films.
Speaker 5: Well it's yeah, it's like which child do you kill?
Speaker 5: Because I always got on my case all of them,
Speaker 5: but we do won't go into that. Yes, Godfather one
Speaker 5: or Godfather too?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 5: But and this is not a cherry story, Pete, but
Speaker 5: I'm going to jump in and tell it anyway. But
Speaker 5: The Godfather now has a particular resonance for me because
Speaker 5: my brother died quite a few years ago now, but
Speaker 5: the last words he ever said to me were I'll
Speaker 5: see tomorrow, baby sister. He was twelve years older, and
Speaker 5: we'll watch The Godfather. Fortunately then he died. But look,
Speaker 5: I oh look, if you don't laugh, you cry. Come on, everyone,
Speaker 5: it wasn't your brother.
Speaker 3: Pretend boohoo. But I really wanted.
Speaker 5: This is just a handy hint. I'm giving you for
Speaker 5: free because I wanted the next time I saw The Godfather,
Speaker 5: for obvious reasons, it to be special. So I thought, oh,
Speaker 5: I'll go and see it at the Arts Center with
Speaker 5: the mso doing the soundtrack and Peter was terrible. And
Speaker 5: it's terrible because has anyone been to one of those
Speaker 5: ones where they do the soundtrack. We'll see my beef
Speaker 5: with it is huge screen, beautiful print. You cannot hear
Speaker 5: a word of dialogue because it's all.
Speaker 3: So if you're actually there.
Speaker 5: For the movie instead of the soundtrack, it's a waste
Speaker 5: of everyone time.
Speaker 1: For those listening to the podcast, Jude comically play the violin. So, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask, did you enjoy the sound of music?
Speaker 3: Can I talk around that? I knew it wasn't gonna
Speaker 3: be a no, it's not it.
Speaker 5: I was struck by many things. Well, for starters. Even
Speaker 5: though I hadn't seen it, I felt like I had,
Speaker 5: because I mean, I am a movie lover. I've seen
Speaker 5: so many clips from it because it's such an iconic film.
Speaker 5: We all know the songs, and so the fact that
Speaker 5: I had seen so much of it already did not
Speaker 5: make those two hours, fifty five minutes and twenty seven
Speaker 5: seconds fly by. I will say that.
Speaker 3: So you checked out the running time I did.
Speaker 5: I did that quite a lot, and I actually did
Speaker 5: it in two sittings, which is very unusual for me.
Speaker 5: I will absolutely own the fact that I wept a
Speaker 5: lot while I was watching it. But was that the movie?
Speaker 5: Was that me getting over COVID? I'm not sure, and
Speaker 5: also trying to understand why my supposedly good friend Denise
Speaker 5: Scott had abandoned me in Adelaide when I got it,
Speaker 5: But that's a story for another time. Come and see
Speaker 5: the show. Hear me bitch about her on stage in
Speaker 5: front of her, So that was in there. Something that
Speaker 5: I was pleasantly surprised about was I did find myself
Speaker 5: thinking I would have sat on a young Christopher Plumber's face.
Speaker 3: And I didn't know.
Speaker 5: You know, I've never found him attractive before, so that
Speaker 5: was something. Then again, it is slim Pickens in that film,
Speaker 5: isn't it. Who else are you going to go for
Speaker 5: the creepy uncle Max?
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I did want to know, did you find him sexy?
Speaker 1: Capa von Chabin? Obviously I sort of did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I sort of did.
Speaker 3: He's a little bit smoldering.
Speaker 5: But can I tell you my biggest issue with the movie,
Speaker 5: or the thing that I found interesting, Pete, was, you know,
Speaker 5: despite the fact that initially the kids don't really like Maria,
Speaker 5: despite the fact that the man she loves is engaged
Speaker 5: to someone else, despite the fact that she then returns
Speaker 5: to the convent and wrestles with the fact of oh
Speaker 5: should I become or nun or not, and then ultimately
Speaker 5: despite the fact that all of their lives are threatened
Speaker 5: by a bunch of Nazis, there is not a second
Speaker 5: of tension in.
Speaker 3: The film, not a second. It's remarkable.
Speaker 5: It's like this, you know, it starts off with all
Speaker 5: the kids don't like her, but these are a few
Speaker 5: of my favorite things. Now they do.
Speaker 3: Oh, the Captain's gonna marry someone else, climb every mountain.
Speaker 3: Now he's gonna amicably.
Speaker 5: Break up his engagement. You know, it's just it's just
Speaker 5: there is It's amazing to me because a lot happens,
Speaker 5: but they're not interested in the story at all. It
Speaker 5: just sort of lurches from one side to the next
Speaker 5: with the occasional oh look a lovely mountain. And as
Speaker 5: you said about the captain, he starts off as this
Speaker 5: cold authoritarian and then the next thing, you know, he's
Speaker 5: just a happy go lucky guitar playing softy and it's
Speaker 5: just like, but there's no journey, do you know what
Speaker 5: I mean. It's just like someone flicks a switch or
Speaker 5: sings a song, and now the plot has moved along.
Speaker 1: Well, let's have a let's have a look at the
Speaker 1: meeting of Captain von Tramp and Maria.
Speaker 2: Why do you stay at me that way?
Speaker 4: Well, you don't look at tall legacy, captain.
Speaker 10: Sir, I'm afraid you don't look very much like a governess.
Speaker 10: Turn around, hat of.
Speaker 3: It's the dress.
Speaker 11: You don't have to put on another one before you
Speaker 11: meet the children.
Speaker 2: But I didn't have.
Speaker 9: Another one when we entered the abbey.
Speaker 4: Our worldly clothes are given to the poor.
Speaker 2: What about this one?
Speaker 9: The poor didn't want this one? Well, I would have
Speaker 9: made myself and you dress, but there wasn't time. I
Speaker 9: can make my own clothes.
Speaker 10: Well, I see that you'll get some material today, if possible.
Speaker 11: Now, prolim Maria, I don't know how much the mother
Speaker 11: avers has told you.
Speaker 4: Not much.
Speaker 11: You are the twelfth in a long line of governesses
Speaker 11: will come to look after my children since their mother died.
Speaker 11: I trust that you will be an improvement on the
Speaker 11: last one.
Speaker 2: She stayed only two hours.
Speaker 4: What's wrong with the children, sir?
Speaker 11: There's nothing wrong with the children, only the governesses. They
Speaker 11: were completely unable to maintain discipline. Without her, this house
Speaker 11: cannot be properly run. You will please remember that for aim. Yes, sir,
Speaker 11: every morning you will drill the children in their studies.
Speaker 11: I will not permit them to dream away. There's summer holidays.
Speaker 2: Each afternoon they will march about the grounds, breathing deeply.
Speaker 2: Bedtime has to be strictly observant.
Speaker 11: Excuse me, so when they came, they conduct themselves at
Speaker 11: all time with the utmost or innocent acorum.
Speaker 2: I'm dressing you in commander, Yes.
Speaker 1: So, Jude, when it was the last time somebody asked
Speaker 1: you to twelve, well you did this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Oh well, yeah, that was that was just could you
Speaker 3: look great? Well?
Speaker 5: Also, when I applied to be Warren Beatty's secretary, apparently
Speaker 5: he used to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it wasn't a world away from a
Speaker 1: you know, Roger Raile's style.
Speaker 5: No, no, well, I think the film is very progressive
Speaker 5: in so many ways, Pete. So I wasn't entirely shocked
Speaker 5: by that, saying, yeah, it really broke down some barriers
Speaker 5: when it came to race though, didn't it. It's one
Speaker 5: of the whitest films I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Jerremoh Austria, were you surprised? Did you know
Speaker 1: that Nazis were involved in this film?
Speaker 2: Ah?
Speaker 5: I vaguely remembered there was Nazi involvement.
Speaker 1: Not in the production, in the in the in the story.
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on.
Speaker 5: Rolf l Rolf had a touch of Does anyone remember
Speaker 5: the scene from Cabaret when they burst into Fatherland Fatherland? Well,
Speaker 5: it's a much much better fucking film, so you know,
Speaker 5: just watch it if you haven't.
Speaker 3: But I feel like you're not talking around it as much.
Speaker 5: No, that's true, but he could have come straight out
Speaker 5: of that scene. So he was very I thought he
Speaker 5: was like Nazi stereo type number one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny when I when I was young, and
Speaker 1: I should say I loved it.
Speaker 3: I love this film. I watched.
Speaker 1: I watched this film almost almost as many times I've
Speaker 1: seen Star Wars.
Speaker 5: Really, how old were you when you first saw it?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Probably six? Okay?
Speaker 5: And I do respect you, Les, just to thank you.
Speaker 3: Was that for the twelve or was that?
Speaker 1: But anyway, So it's funny when you're when I do
Speaker 1: this podcast and all of a sudden, look at a
Speaker 1: film that I love that I'm about to talk about,
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering what you're thinking about it. Obviously you're
Speaker 1: thinking about sitting on this is a face. I didn't
Speaker 1: think about that, but you do look at it. What
Speaker 1: you said before about there's no tension is absolutely correct,
Speaker 1: But there's nothing really happens. Is the Baroness I used
Speaker 1: to always think was the I guess, the villain of
Speaker 1: the story. But when you watch it as an adult, yeah,
Speaker 1: she actually comes across as quite quite dignifying.
Speaker 5: I beg to differ Pete, because come on, she's been married,
Speaker 5: she's blonde, and she smokes, she's a slut and you
Speaker 5: can't trust her. I think that's pretty obvious.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a funny scene where they're all saying
Speaker 1: when he announces the marriage, and they all go up
Speaker 1: and they kiss her individually, and Kurt he whispers something
Speaker 1: in her ear and I it seems like a very
Speaker 1: strange and.
Speaker 3: He kept the one choke and said, you get out
Speaker 3: of here, you scamp. It's a very strange.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, obviously it's It's a.
Speaker 1: Fun thing when you watch it next. It's a fun
Speaker 1: thing to imagine what Kurt whispers to the baroness. I
Speaker 1: think it's call me Captain von Pants.
Speaker 3: Did you have a favorite kid?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: I hated them all. Oh well, Laser was hot. I
Speaker 5: can understand why she was a crust. But she's sixteen
Speaker 5: going on forty two.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, if.
Speaker 5: She's sixteen, I'm twenty seven.
Speaker 3: It was twenty one.
Speaker 5: Well, she was clearly older than sixteen.
Speaker 3: And Christopher Plumber was thirty five when they made this film.
Speaker 5: And something I did enjoy was the fact that he
Speaker 5: was only six years older than Juliandrews, which, especially in
Speaker 5: the sixties, when usually you know, the two leads were
Speaker 5: at least twenty years apart. That was something, But I
Speaker 5: did want to say the child I hated the was
Speaker 5: is Gretel the youngest one because she believe Gretel alone, Joe,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but she looks like a human lava. I
Speaker 5: really I just wanted to call the exterminator.
Speaker 3: But I thought this was interesting. Did you know I'm
Speaker 3: losing people?
Speaker 5: Did you know that some of the other people they
Speaker 5: considered for casting in terms of the children were Cherry Gar,
Speaker 5: Kurt Russell, and the Osmonds.
Speaker 3: And I put it to.
Speaker 5: You that it would have been a far more interesting
Speaker 5: film if those people had landed the roles. Imagine Kurt
Speaker 5: and Donnie and Marie k.
Speaker 3: Kurt Russell would have been amazing. That would have been phenomenal.
Speaker 1: So it's like I said, when you watch it, I
Speaker 1: have so much love for this film, but I think
Speaker 1: because it takes me back to when I was a
Speaker 1: kid more so than anything else. But there is there
Speaker 1: are things through the wrong, but it's basically the songs
Speaker 1: that hold this movie together is do you have a
Speaker 1: favorite song at least?
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you my least favorite, which was of
Speaker 5: course Adalvites I mean, come on, and the lyrics for
Speaker 5: that and what's small and white, clean and bright, which
Speaker 5: is obviously implying that only white things are clean, so
Speaker 5: it's racist. But the one that I particularly well, I've
Speaker 5: printed out the lyrics to my favorite one, Pete, which
Speaker 5: is of course sixteen going on seventeen, because I thought
Speaker 5: some of the lyrics really need to be read out,
Speaker 5: if that's all rightas do of course, your life, little girl,
Speaker 5: is an empty page that men will want to write on.
Speaker 3: How creepy is.
Speaker 5: That the word defiled just popped into my mind. Eager
Speaker 5: young lads and rogues and cads will offer you food
Speaker 5: and wine. Well I sort of disagree with that, because, frankly,
Speaker 5: if a man offers you food and wine, marry him.
Speaker 5: But she's also wary, of course, Pete of bachelor Dandy's
Speaker 5: and drinkers of Brandy's. Well, we know Brandy was the
Speaker 5: crystal myth of the thirties. And it's the final verse, though, Pete,
Speaker 5: that really makes it the feminist anthem that I love.
Speaker 5: I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do.
Speaker 5: You are seventeen going on eighteen. I'll depend on you,
Speaker 5: and I think that's just the beginning of a beautiful,
Speaker 5: coercive relationship.
Speaker 3: Ultimately and and domestic violence. So the lesson is never
Speaker 3: bring home a Nazi.
Speaker 1: Let's have a look at the scene where Rop delivers
Speaker 1: a telegram and things get a little bit heated, because
Speaker 1: it's interesting to watch this knowing yeah, even with the
Speaker 1: where the world is now Austria in annex, it's a
Speaker 1: there's a big there's a bit going on in this and.
Speaker 5: It's amazing that there is some tension. For a second,
Speaker 5: Sonore that everybody happened much.
Speaker 2: H h h What are you doing there? Or Captain
Speaker 2: von Trap I was just looking for I didn't see
Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't know you were hil Hitler. Who
Speaker 2: are you? I have a telegram for head dead Wiler?
Speaker 2: I am heard Dad Whiler. Yes, sir, yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: you've delivered your telegram. I'll get out, Okay, okay, Old.
Speaker 2: He's just a boy, yes, and I'm just an Austrian.
Speaker 2: What's going to happen is going to happen. Just beg.
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen to you, Max. Don't you ever say
Speaker 2: that again? You know I have no political convictions. Can
Speaker 2: I help it? If other people do? Oh? Yes, you
Speaker 2: can help it. You must help it.
Speaker 1: Hello, Then she says, how can I bring you back
Speaker 1: from that far away place?
Speaker 3: Yes? Pa, how does he manage to do that?
Speaker 5: Don't know you thinking she offered him a risty.
Speaker 12: Well, considering your characterization a minute ago, it does get
Speaker 12: pretty steamy, though, doesn't it.
Speaker 5: Because I also love the fact that you know Maria
Speaker 5: and the Captain.
Speaker 3: Realize they're in love when they're awkwardly.
Speaker 5: Jumping through a traditional Austrian folk dance. I thought, well,
Speaker 5: they didn't need tinder back then, did they? Nothing like
Speaker 5: a folk dance to bring people together.
Speaker 3: Did you one thing this before? Rolf was weird? There?
Speaker 1: Like he arrives, it's obviously tense, So to break the
Speaker 1: tension he goes into a hitless salute.
Speaker 9: I think.
Speaker 3: When in Rome, I think.
Speaker 5: That's another take home lesson from today. You're in a
Speaker 5: tense situation, don't you.
Speaker 1: Did you find as far as chemistry goes, did you
Speaker 1: find there was more chemistry between the Baroness and Captain
Speaker 1: von Trapp or Captain von Trapp and Julie andrews?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 5: That's a good question, and my lack of interest makes
Speaker 5: it hard to answer. But I feel like he and
Speaker 5: the Baroness were better sous to be honest, Yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Feels like Cata von Champ and Maria seem pretty I
Speaker 1: can't imagine says that Maria sitting on his face.
Speaker 5: I don't want to preempt anything.
Speaker 3: But are we showing the clips from the wedding? Yeah,
Speaker 3: we can. I do have that. Actually, let's have let's
Speaker 3: have a look at it.
Speaker 5: Because I well, I was particularly moved by the wedding.
Speaker 5: That's probably because only one man has ever proposed to me,
Speaker 5: and that was Stuart Cummings and I was in grade one.
Speaker 5: I turned him down because his family didn't have a
Speaker 5: pall and that's a decision I will regret for the
Speaker 5: rest of my life. But anyway, but what what bride
Speaker 5: to be wouldn't want to hear this as they were
Speaker 5: walking down the aisle, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously Anaconda hadn't been released.
Speaker 2: At this point.
Speaker 5: Is how lovely that your husband is standing there and
Speaker 5: people are saying that you're a problem of flibberty, but
Speaker 5: a demon and a headache. So I don't I don't
Speaker 5: expect that marriage to last.
Speaker 1: No getting trolled as you walked, And it's also been
Speaker 1: very much an organized thing.
Speaker 3: There's three hundred people in that chapel and they're all singing.
Speaker 1: They got together, they learned the song and they sung
Speaker 1: it at her most precious moment in her line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, why not just sing? You're making a huge mistake.
Speaker 1: There were some crushes on set, so you know. Apparently
Speaker 1: Louisa had a crush on Frederick. Frederick had a crush
Speaker 1: on Liesel. Liesel had a crush on Captain von Trapp.
Speaker 1: He was twenty one at the time. Apparently Christopher Plumber
Speaker 1: drunk quite a bit and that the only child he
Speaker 1: spoke to off camera was Liesel Charmaine car and they said.
Speaker 1: Charmaine said their autobiography that there was some flirting going on.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: He hated the film, of course, Christopher Plumber, and he
Speaker 5: referred to it as awful, sentimental and gooey and no
Speaker 5: wonder he drank his way through it. If I'd been
Speaker 5: Julie Andrews, I also would have drunk my way for it.
Speaker 3: Well, he said, working.
Speaker 1: With Julie Andrews was like rocking up to work and
Speaker 1: being slapped by a Valentine's card every day.
Speaker 3: Apparently they did.
Speaker 1: In the end, they were They were quite close by
Speaker 1: the end. As the years went on, they were very
Speaker 1: they were very close and friendly. But another fun fact
Speaker 1: was he was also drunk, apparently during the music festival,
Speaker 1: and artists drunk at festivals just a no go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm appalled to him discussing. Well, he was Amuso too,
Speaker 5: so of course he was pissed. Did you probably taken
Speaker 5: a couple of lines?
Speaker 3: Did you?
Speaker 4: When?
Speaker 1: I mean, when I was a kid, I kind of
Speaker 1: fail in love with Austria watching this, Do you have
Speaker 1: any sense of like, have you been to Austria?
Speaker 5: No? No, I haven't, but I felt like me. You know,
Speaker 5: I was talking to Denise Scott about it, because Scotty
Speaker 5: actually used to host like Singerlongs to the Sound of Music.
Speaker 5: I have seen Denise Scott wearing letterhusen on her way
Speaker 5: to hosting one of those things, and you know, when
Speaker 5: she said to me, what did you think of it?
Speaker 5: I found myself saying it was a lot of lovely scenery,
Speaker 5: which I feel like is one of the most damning
Speaker 5: things you can probably say about a movie. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean it did look beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they haven't been on the Sound of Music tour.
Speaker 1: It's a good fun.
Speaker 5: Those people will never buy tickets to see me. Ever again,
Speaker 5: I have just said goodbye to about fifteen audience members.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, has anyone come here today who actually doesn't
Speaker 1: like the sound of music?
Speaker 3: Maybe I've lost more like two hundred.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, has anyone coming and not seen the sound
Speaker 1: of music? Okay, there aren't spoilers I should have pointed
Speaker 1: out earlier.
Speaker 5: But there is no tension, so it really doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Also, what's what is interesting is the real life Nazis
Speaker 1: once the Von Traps, he's obviously based on a real story,
Speaker 1: a true story. They have changed some things so for
Speaker 1: instance that the.
Speaker 5: Pressure, they made it less interesting.
Speaker 3: They removed all the tension and discussed it's quite possibly true.
Speaker 1: Actually what we'd have said, because in real life what
Speaker 1: happened was the Nazis not only wanted the captain to
Speaker 1: go work work for them, but there was another There
Speaker 1: was an older Von Trapp who's been written out in
Speaker 1: the movie.
Speaker 3: His name was probably Gary, and they wanted Gary.
Speaker 1: He was a doctor and they wanted him to be
Speaker 1: a doctor for the Nazis. And they also wanted the
Speaker 1: Von Trapp to sing Happy Birthday that Hitler on the radio,
Speaker 1: and it's quite see what you've been joking, they're not
Speaker 1: really joking about the lack of tension.
Speaker 3: That actually does add tension, a.
Speaker 5: Great deal of tension. Yeah, so let's get rid of that.
Speaker 1: And then the real Nazis. Once the Von Traps fled,
Speaker 1: and they fled by train, they didn't go over the
Speaker 1: mountain because if they were actually going where they go
Speaker 1: in the movie over the mountain, they're going closer to Germany, right,
Speaker 1: And actually Hitler had a mountain side retreat, which is
Speaker 1: basically on the other side of that mountain. The real
Speaker 1: Von Traps would often be at a cafe and Hitler
Speaker 1: would be there having like smashed abo.
Speaker 5: Outside of the smashed Avo bit. I mean, that's fascinating.
Speaker 5: Why wouldn't you put that in a movie?
Speaker 1: And then in the end, so they leave and they
Speaker 1: did sacrifice a lot. They arrived in America with four
Speaker 1: dollars and the real Nazis in Heinrich Himlick, he's one
Speaker 1: of the upper Nazis. I think he worked in say
Speaker 1: he took over the house and when Hitler would visiting,
Speaker 1: he would stay in the real Von trap house.
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, it's called Nazi information for you.
Speaker 5: I have been more interested in the last ten minutes
Speaker 5: than I was in two hours twenty seven seconds of
Speaker 5: the movie.
Speaker 3: And in Germany.
Speaker 1: Actually when they when the executive film executive, so they
Speaker 1: wanted to cut. This may not surprise you. They wanted
Speaker 1: to cut the film after the wedding. It was basically,
Speaker 1: the wedding happened, and then nothing else happened out. Yes,
Speaker 1: did you find One of the things I really noticed
Speaker 1: as an adult watching watching it was once they get married,
Speaker 1: it no longer.
Speaker 3: Is about sister Maria, no at all. No, she's done.
Speaker 5: Suddenly, it's in glorious bastards.
Speaker 3: That's a good point. It's a good point.
Speaker 1: I spoke before about the Baroness. I always thought she
Speaker 1: was the villain. You had an interesting take on it earlier.
Speaker 1: But let's have a look at some world class nagging
Speaker 1: going on from the Baroness and Maria.
Speaker 5: Oh this scene is mystifying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well let's have a little.
Speaker 4: I want to help me, Baroness. I'm delighted.
Speaker 7: Ina, I really don't think I do have anything that.
Speaker 4: Would be appropriate.
Speaker 8: Now, where is that lovely little thing you were wearing
Speaker 8: the other evening when.
Speaker 4: The captain couldn't keep.
Speaker 9: His eyes off, couldn't keep his eyes off me.
Speaker 4: Come, my dear, we are women, and let's not pretend
Speaker 4: we don't know when a man notices us. Here. We
Speaker 4: have to notice everybody and everything.
Speaker 8: There's no need to feel so defensive, Maria, you are
Speaker 8: quite attractive. You won't captain would hardly be a man
Speaker 8: if he didn't notice you.
Speaker 7: And as I hope you're joking, not at all, but
Speaker 7: I've never done a thing today.
Speaker 4: You don't have to, my dear.
Speaker 8: There's nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman
Speaker 8: who's in love with him.
Speaker 4: In love with him, of course, to what makes it
Speaker 4: so nice?
Speaker 8: As he thinks he's in love with you.
Speaker 4: But that's not true.
Speaker 8: Surely you've noticed the way he looks into your eyes,
Speaker 8: and you know you blushed in his.
Speaker 4: Arms on you're dancing. Just now. You don't take it
Speaker 4: to heart.
Speaker 8: He'll get over it soon enough, I should think, men,
Speaker 8: do you know?
Speaker 7: Then I should go. I mustn't stay here. There's something
Speaker 7: I can do to him, nothing.
Speaker 4: Yes, please don't say a word about this to the Captain. No,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't dream of it. Goodbye, Maria. I'm sure you'll
Speaker 4: make a very fine nun.
Speaker 3: Just a sister helping out another sister, I'll.
Speaker 5: Tell you what chicks you can't trust him, especially when
Speaker 5: they have half a fishing net attached to the top.
Speaker 3: Of their dress. I love you are quite attractive. That
Speaker 3: was an interesting one. No sugar on that, No, no.
Speaker 5: Sugar on that. And she was saying that to her
Speaker 5: while she was essentially in her underwear, which I thought
Speaker 5: was confronting.
Speaker 1: I would have liked if she ever said, Maria says
Speaker 1: she at the door. She turns around and she says, Maria,
Speaker 1: I think you're going to be a fine nun.
Speaker 3: Now, fuck off.
Speaker 5: If she'd said, Maria, what is it? You can't say?
Speaker 3: Like I said earlier. When I watched it as a kid,
Speaker 3: I thought she was the villain. I really, I really.
Speaker 5: Thought she was like the and I think I think
Speaker 5: that's what they were gunning for as well.
Speaker 1: But I think when you watch it as an adult,
Speaker 1: you have you do have a different view of the
Speaker 1: baroness because when and we'll go into another clip now,
Speaker 1: which is when she says goodbye, and I always kind
Speaker 1: of thought, yeah, she was, she was the villain, but
Speaker 1: she handles this with I would say, a bit of dignity.
Speaker 4: There you are.
Speaker 8: I really must speak to cook about the venush nut.
Speaker 8: It is entirely too delicious for my think, and it
Speaker 8: makes you much too quiet at the dinner table.
Speaker 4: Was it the wine?
Speaker 10: The one?
Speaker 2: You have?
Speaker 4: No idea?
Speaker 8: What kind of trouble I'm having trying to decide what
Speaker 8: to give you for a wedding present.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know I'm enough, but I do want you.
Speaker 8: To have some little trifle for the occasion. The first
Speaker 8: time I thought of a fountain pen, but you've already
Speaker 8: got one. And then I thought perhaps a villain in
Speaker 8: the south of France, but they are so difficult to
Speaker 8: give trap.
Speaker 4: Okay, how do you feel about yachts?
Speaker 8: A long, sleek one for the Mediterranean or a tiny
Speaker 8: one for your bathdom?
Speaker 4: And where to go on our honeymoon? Now that is
Speaker 4: a real problem.
Speaker 8: I thought a trip around the world would be lovely.
Speaker 8: Then I said, oh, el so there must be someplace
Speaker 8: better to go.
Speaker 4: And don't worry, darling, Yes, chaol.
Speaker 13: It's no use.
Speaker 10: You and I.
Speaker 6: I'm being dishonest to both of us, utterly unfair to you.
Speaker 6: Until people talk of marriage.
Speaker 4: Don't say another word, chaok Please.
Speaker 8: You see there are other things I've been thinking of.
Speaker 4: Fond as I am of you. I really don't think
Speaker 4: you're the right man for me.
Speaker 8: You're you're much too independent, and I need someone who
Speaker 8: needs me desperately, or at least needs my money desperately.
Speaker 4: I've enjoyed every moment we've had together. I do thank
Speaker 4: you for that.
Speaker 8: Now with them, if you'll forgive me, I go inside,
Speaker 8: pack my atter bags and return to the Nawhere and
Speaker 8: somewhere out there is a young.
Speaker 4: Lady who I think will never be.
Speaker 3: A nun.
Speaker 10: Darling.
Speaker 3: I mean the double take.
Speaker 5: Ye, maybe Christopher Plummer was drunk there as well. Yes,
Speaker 5: the Baroness is actually quite classy. I think I actually
Speaker 5: quite liked her. And of course I liked her because
Speaker 5: she wanted to pack the kids off the boarding school.
Speaker 5: But no, I agree, she's actually entirely reasonable. Apart from
Speaker 5: that very weird scene you showed before. I liked it.
Speaker 1: And So Julie Andrews gets nominated for the Oscar.
Speaker 3: Not sure if she wins.
Speaker 1: It, Christian don't think she didn't. Christial Plumber didn't get nominated,
Speaker 1: did you? What do you think of Julie Andrews. It's
Speaker 1: an amazing performance.
Speaker 5: I mean, shoot, I'd love to know who did win
Speaker 5: that year. If anyone wants to google it.
Speaker 3: It might have been the sixty six Oscars. Okay, Julie
Speaker 3: Christy is it?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: Well, come on? And what was that for? Which is
Speaker 5: the film? And that is a brilliant film and an
Speaker 5: incredible performance. So no, pete, I really, I really didn't
Speaker 5: think it was a terrific performance. It's I mean, it's
Speaker 5: a it's your standard musical.
Speaker 3: Kind of look. I mean, I've never been in the music.
Speaker 5: Look, my equivalent is the Wizard of Ours. That's that
Speaker 5: was the film I watched probably the first time when
Speaker 5: I was sick, and watched it every couple of years
Speaker 5: and absolutely loved it and loved Judy Garland. What's Judy
Speaker 5: garl But so I think I would feel very much
Speaker 5: the same way if someone was attacking the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 1: So my apologies, I mean, I guess that was the
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill that That'll be a whole different discussion we'll have.
Speaker 1: So we we uh scip a night at the time
Speaker 1: we were go I want to play one last clip,
Speaker 1: and this is the clip, almost the turning point, if.
Speaker 3: You like, of their relationship.
Speaker 1: Captain von Chabbi is about the boot Maria out for
Speaker 1: having that extraordinarily long day with the kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and can I say I'm having tiny tennis? Did
Speaker 3: you pack?
Speaker 5: That's I am glad this is the last clip because
Speaker 5: I'm starting to feel like I'm watching the entire movie.
Speaker 3: It was a trapture, all right, this is uh.
Speaker 1: They've come, They've come back and on the on the
Speaker 1: boat and they all fall in. Apparently, Gredel, you might
Speaker 1: be happy with this. She couldn't swim, and.
Speaker 5: I'm not happy because she clearly survived.
Speaker 3: She couldn't swim.
Speaker 1: So the idea was she was supposed to fall next
Speaker 1: to Julie Andrews, who was going to take care of her.
Speaker 1: But Julie Andrews falls on the other side of the boat,
Speaker 1: so one of the other kids ends up fishing her
Speaker 1: out and performing mouth to mouth, and then of course
Speaker 1: Christopher Plumber, Common Trap and sister Maria have words.
Speaker 2: Prodan, you want to stay here? Please?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'd better go see what Max is
Speaker 4: up to.
Speaker 14: No flin, I want to took falanswer from your Yes, captain.
Speaker 2: Is it possible? Oh god, I have just imagined it.
Speaker 14: Have my children, by any chance been climbing trees today? Yes, Captain,
Speaker 14: I see and where?
Speaker 2: May I ask? Did they get these these play clothes?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 2: Is that what you call them?
Speaker 9: I made them from the drapes that used to hang
Speaker 9: in my bedroom. Dream They still have plenty of where left.
Speaker 9: The children have been everywhere in them.
Speaker 14: Do you mean to tell me that my children have
Speaker 14: been roaming about Sutspur dressed up in nothing but some old.
Speaker 9: Drapes and having a marvelous time. They have uniforms, straight jackets.
Speaker 9: If you'll forgive me, I will not forgive you for that.
Speaker 9: Children cannot do all the things they're supposed to do
Speaker 9: if they have to worry about spoiling.
Speaker 4: Their well, they wouldn't dare. They love you too much?
Speaker 4: They fear you.
Speaker 2: I don't wish you to discuss my children in this manner.
Speaker 9: You've got to hear from someone you're never home longing.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear any more from you about you.
Speaker 9: Know you don't, But you've got to now take lisel child.
Speaker 9: One of these days you're going to wake up and
Speaker 9: find he's a woman. You won't even know her. And Friedrich,
Speaker 9: he's a boy, but he wants to be a man
Speaker 9: like you, And there's no.
Speaker 2: One to show your hand tell me about my son.
Speaker 9: Gheeza could tell you about him if you'd let her
Speaker 9: get close to you. She notices everything, and Kurt pretends
Speaker 9: he's tough, not to show how hurt he is when
Speaker 9: you brush.
Speaker 4: Him aside the way you do all of them.
Speaker 9: Louise, I don't know, but someone has to find out
Speaker 9: about it.
Speaker 4: And the little ones just want to be loved. Oh please, Catay,
Speaker 4: love them.
Speaker 14: Love them.
Speaker 2: I don't care to hear anything further from you finished.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, you are captain right now.
Speaker 14: You will pack your things this minute and return to
Speaker 14: the abbey.
Speaker 2: What's that it's singing? Yes, I realized it's singing, But
Speaker 2: who is singing?
Speaker 4: The children?
Speaker 2: Children?
Speaker 4: Every song? My to be like the wis.
Speaker 3: Rise from the lame to.
Speaker 1: Ludes, I mean, and then he turns in the cheer
Speaker 1: and I would say that scene, Judith Lucy for me
Speaker 1: had so much tension. I'm glad the rest of the
Speaker 1: film didn't.
Speaker 3: I couldn't have any more tension after that.
Speaker 5: She's feisty. I'll give you that page. But why watching
Speaker 5: some of these clips again? I think we can also
Speaker 5: for Lisay the Christopher Plumber, a master of the the
Speaker 5: double Tape.
Speaker 1: So the one scene that is tense, the last twenty
Speaker 1: minutes our post wedding in the Nazis are, you know,
Speaker 1: on their doors.
Speaker 3: The creeping out of the house is tense.
Speaker 1: The escape from the music festival knowing that the Nazis
Speaker 1: are there, but the searching for them in the in
Speaker 1: the cemetery, the nunnery.
Speaker 3: I mean, you would have been tense. Then drew.
Speaker 4: At you.
Speaker 5: Because I mean, even though it does become a completely
Speaker 5: different film, as you've pointed out, by that stage, you
Speaker 5: just kind of know that they're going to be okay,
Speaker 5: because that's how the whole film has been sort of structured,
Speaker 5: and that's I felt like that was the feel of
Speaker 5: the whole movie. So, I mean, it would have been
Speaker 5: fascinating if one of the children had been shot, really
Speaker 5: up to my enjoyment, baby, the captain had been taken,
Speaker 5: you know something. But no, by that stage, I thought,
Speaker 5: nothing bad is going to happen.
Speaker 3: How many stars out of five?
Speaker 2: Dude?
Speaker 3: Can I read it?
Speaker 5: A line from Pauline Kale with a very well known
Speaker 5: American film critic. She described the movie as the sugar
Speaker 5: coated lie people seem to want to eat, and then
Speaker 5: added audiences have turned into emotional and esthetic imbeciles. When
Speaker 5: we hear ourselves humming the sickly goody goody songs, I
Speaker 5: feel I'm in Pauline's camp. Look for sentimental reasons and
Speaker 5: because I love you, Peter Hellier, I'll give it a six.
Speaker 3: A six. I said I was only five stars six five.
Speaker 5: You love this movie, loves the SATs.
Speaker 1: A couple of all fun facts before we go out,
Speaker 1: and so can I just say, Pete, I am very
Speaker 1: happy that I've seen it.
Speaker 5: I will never watch it again, no shit, and I
Speaker 5: would not have watched it but for you and this podcast,
Speaker 5: So thank you.
Speaker 1: As I say, this podcast comes with homework, and I
Speaker 1: this is this is the second longest movie we have done.
Speaker 1: This is just under three hours. There's one we haven't
Speaker 1: released yet. We did Gone with the Wind with Rove mcmanor.
Speaker 1: So that's that's what's coming up.
Speaker 5: And that's not a problematic film at.
Speaker 3: All these days.
Speaker 5: That will be an interesting discussion.
Speaker 3: Rolf was a walk in the park.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, there's a there's minefields there, but here are
Speaker 1: some And thanks for everyone who listens to the podcast
Speaker 1: and subscribes to it.
Speaker 3: We'd love to do a live show down the track.
Speaker 1: For those who haven't unless you listened to the podcast,
Speaker 1: it's basically this, but this is a live version. We've
Speaker 1: had recently Osha Ginsburg doing Roman Holiday, Charlie Pickering doing
Speaker 1: Sexualize videotape, Tony Martin had done.
Speaker 3: This is a fete.
Speaker 5: Yes, there was a movie Tony hadn't seen.
Speaker 1: We have emailing us saying, surely Tony Martin has seen everything.
Speaker 3: There won't be a movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For those who haven't listened to the episode, Tony Martin
Speaker 1: never seen. Oh he has seen now Top Gun.
Speaker 5: Oh well, I'm genuinely really surprised. Yeah, and what did
Speaker 5: he think of it?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's stupid. It's a stupid movie. What I haven't
Speaker 3: realized is.
Speaker 1: When they're going to get attacked at the end, they're
Speaker 1: in San Diego at the Top Gun at the Academy
Speaker 1: and they get attacked, they have to go into a
Speaker 1: real sky battle. Who the fuck's the enemy? I've been
Speaker 1: attacked by Canadians. Really good point, It makes no sense.
Speaker 1: Here's a fun facts.
Speaker 3: Days.
Speaker 1: The day after the von Chaps escaped, Hitler shut the borders.
Speaker 1: They just got out in time. The real Maria had
Speaker 1: quite a sad life. Her parents died very young. She
Speaker 1: lived with an uncle who was very mean and an atheist,
Speaker 1: so he're actually becoming a numb wise and act of
Speaker 1: rebellion in a way. And she says she fell in
Speaker 1: love with the kids first before she fell in love
Speaker 1: with the captain, like she had never actually been kids
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. And when one of
Speaker 1: the kids gave her a kiss on the cheek, that's
Speaker 1: when she fell in love with the kids, and she
Speaker 1: fell in love with the captain later on.
Speaker 3: Human touch human very important. We all know that after
Speaker 3: the last.
Speaker 1: Two years, sister Mary was in lockdown for two reasons,
Speaker 1: to leave the house to sing on the mountain and
Speaker 1: to go to the shops. And she used to sing
Speaker 1: Julia and used to sing a super color fragilistic expellodosius
Speaker 1: to the kids. And they thought because Mary Poppins hadn't
Speaker 1: come out yet, they thought she was just making it
Speaker 1: up for them, dumb shits. And yeah, and this is
Speaker 1: the final fun fact, the real the reason the von
Speaker 1: Chaps have money. It was not because of anything von
Speaker 1: Trapp did. It's because his widow, his ex wife or
Speaker 1: his wife who had passed away.
Speaker 5: Oh I love the fact that we hear nothing, not
Speaker 5: a single thing.
Speaker 3: Did she just give.
Speaker 5: Birth to the seventh child?
Speaker 3: And when I'm.
Speaker 1: Done and bunchups, you're like, I'm over it then. And
Speaker 1: the reason that they live in there, that's an amazing
Speaker 1: house and they have money is her great her grandfather
Speaker 1: invented the torpedo.
Speaker 3: There's torpedo money.
Speaker 1: Her grandfather invented the torpedo, and her uncle invented the
Speaker 1: drop punt. That's a footy gag Win in Melbourne. But
Speaker 1: Judah Lucy, like I said, this comes with home.
Speaker 3: I really appreciate it.

Speaker 4: Yay, Well I'll be to say I do I do
Speaker 4: you to you and you and you.
Speaker 3: I'm still smiling.
Speaker 1: I am still smiling at that event, both live and
Speaker 1: then listening back to it with Judith LUSI thank you
Speaker 1: so much. It was a long awaited episode. We often
Speaker 1: got emails about when is that Judith Lucy sounding music
Speaker 1: episode come up? I promised it before we had recorded
Speaker 1: it in season one, and then it just got disruptions
Speaker 1: and delays, and dude, as I knew she would, finally
Speaker 1: came good in a pretty big way, above and beyond
Speaker 1: doing a live our first live podcast, we went sure
Speaker 1: if anyone was going to rock up. There were nearly
Speaker 1: three hundred people in the room. It was just it
Speaker 1: was so much, so much joy and love for comedy
Speaker 1: and movies in that room.
Speaker 3: We will do it again.
Speaker 1: We're already working on well, at least thinking about the
Speaker 1: movie and the guests that we might have at a
Speaker 1: live venue coming in soon. Hopefully we can do it
Speaker 1: around the country more and more as life gets back
Speaker 1: to normal. But thank you Jude, once again, just one
Speaker 1: of the one thing I didn't point out was the
Speaker 1: opening scene of the Sound of Music. And when I
Speaker 1: actually watched it, and I might to bring Derek from
Speaker 1: Casway Studios in here today. Derek, Hello, you've seen the
Speaker 1: Sound of Music many times? Surely no, God, you haven't
Speaker 1: seen it at all.
Speaker 13: Look bits and pieces, I reckon, I've seen enough bits
Speaker 13: and pieces to put it all together.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, Duke kind of felt that to a degree, and
Speaker 1: it was one of the things you do think about,
Speaker 1: is that opening scene.
Speaker 3: You know, the hills are alive, the Sound of Music.
Speaker 3: That's the first thing you see.
Speaker 1: And I always thought it was almost like it happened
Speaker 1: really quickly, like the camera just after you know, the
Speaker 1: the movie logo, the film shit the fox, and then
Speaker 1: they swept straight into the hills are alive.
Speaker 3: But what I forgot, it's got these beautiful shots.
Speaker 1: Of the mountains and it's just like it's this wind
Speaker 1: for it, you know, like for almost a minute, I reckon,
Speaker 1: maybe even closer to two it's the wind, and then
Speaker 1: there's some birds you start hearing. It's you get closer
Speaker 1: down towards the ground or the mountains, and then some
Speaker 1: wind chimes, and then all of a sudden you hear
Speaker 1: the music. Starts kicking in and then it swells into
Speaker 1: Julie Andrews singing the hills are Alive. Yeah, it reminded
Speaker 1: me that what a studying opening sequence that was. And
Speaker 1: they actually shot it by using helicopters that would actually
Speaker 1: push Julie Andrews over, you know, and she had after
Speaker 1: about six takes it okay, guys, you know if I'm
Speaker 1: a bit pissed off now, like you've had enough, And
Speaker 1: they would shoot it by like flying sideways next to it.
Speaker 3: That's where you can see.
Speaker 1: I think they did the same thing when the kids
Speaker 1: are and the von Trapps are going over the mountain
Speaker 1: at the end you can actually see the grass obviously
Speaker 1: moving around.
Speaker 3: Because of the blade of the helicopter.
Speaker 1: But I forgot to mention my love of that sequence
Speaker 1: and the sound design of that on the live episode.
Speaker 3: But Derek, people can.

Speaker 1: there's also a new exciting way you can get in touch,

Speaker 3: That easy.
Speaker 1: We've already had a couple, but let's say we were
Speaker 1: on new one. Somebody else has gone on to speak Pipe.
Speaker 1: Who's got on the speak pop this week?
Speaker 13: Vicky, Vicky cent us one. So are you ready?
Speaker 4: I am, Hey, Peyton Jerrek.
Speaker 15: I have to say my favorite episode was in Bruth.
Speaker 15: I hadn't seen the movie before I listen to that, and.
Speaker 3: I think I've watched it maybe over twenty times.
Speaker 4: I was hoping.
Speaker 15: Maybe you could find someone who hadn't watch Royal or
Speaker 15: Tenny Bombs.
Speaker 3: It's one of my.
Speaker 13: Favorite movies and I think.
Speaker 15: Thanks guys, love to podcast, keep it up.
Speaker 1: Thanks well, thank you, Vicky, And I got to say
Speaker 1: that is astonishing and espectal be very proud. Did Vicky
Speaker 1: to say that she hadn't seen in Bruce, which you
Speaker 1: did with Tom Ballard. It's one of my favorite episodes
Speaker 1: we've done as well. That she hadn't seen it before
Speaker 1: she listened to the podcast.
Speaker 13: Listen back to it, let me go.
Speaker 3: I want to be very straight on this.
Speaker 13: Let's go again.
Speaker 4: Hey, Pete and Jerk.
Speaker 15: I have to say my favorite episode was in bruth
Speaker 15: I hadn't seen the movie before to that, I think
Speaker 15: I've watched maybe times.
Speaker 1: I'm so nicky saying Nicky saying she had never listened
Speaker 1: watched in Bruges since well before the podcast, and there's
Speaker 1: watched it twenty times since.
Speaker 3: That's incredible. That makes me very proud.
Speaker 13: That's it.
Speaker 3: We've nailed it absolutely, and.
Speaker 1: It was it was I really loved that episode. That
Speaker 1: was one episode where I was very confident that Tom
Speaker 1: Ballard was going to really love In Bruges. I remember
Speaker 1: coming to the studio very excited. I do love that movie.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely one of my favorites. I think definitely
Speaker 1: a top ten movie for me. Also, the other thing
Speaker 1: that's blowing my mind Vicky. Literally this morning, I was
Speaker 1: thinking somebody needs to do Royal tannem Barms because I
Speaker 1: was thinking we haven't done a Wes Anderson film yet,
Speaker 1: and I'm a Wes Anderton fan, so I thought maybe
Speaker 1: Rushmore or Royal tannem Balms or Grand Budapest Hotel might
Speaker 1: be the ones you kind of focus on, even though
Speaker 1: maybe my favorite Wess Anderton film is The Life Aquatic
Speaker 1: with Steve's Zoo.
Speaker 3: But I think those that are.
Speaker 1: Three that it would be good starting areas, particularly Rushmore
Speaker 1: or the Grand sorry, the Royal Tanton Arms because they're
Speaker 1: the earlier work post Bottle Rocket. They are on the list.
Speaker 1: So what I do either when I have a conversation
Speaker 1: with the guests, it's usually is there a movie that
Speaker 1: you know you haven't seen? And they're very quick, you know,
Speaker 1: usually they're very quick. They have one and I'm either like,
Speaker 1: well let's do that, or we've already done that, can
Speaker 1: you choose another one? And then I send them a
Speaker 1: list if they can't quite think of one on the spot.
Speaker 1: But those movies are on the list and they would
Speaker 1: love to do Royal tannin Arms Vicky. So that is
Speaker 1: certainly hopefully it will happen at some point.
Speaker 13: It's got to find someone that hasn't seen it.
Speaker 1: Absolutely now next week on the show, very excited another
Speaker 1: Ossie legend. Following Judith Lucy, we can only follow up
Speaker 1: with another legend and This is not a legend of
Speaker 1: the comedy scene, but a legend of the music scene.
Speaker 3: The one, the only Ben Lee will be joining us.
Speaker 1: I've known been for many years and he's such a
Speaker 1: sweet guy, a funny guy, and obviously such a talented musician.
Speaker 3: He has a new song act called like This or
Speaker 3: Like That.
Speaker 1: It is a brilliant song following up from me He's
Speaker 1: born for this bullshit single from last year, Like This
Speaker 1: or Like That. Ben says it's about being a fan
Speaker 1: identity Beatles versus Stones, Navana versus Pearl Jam and Ben
Speaker 1: Lee versus powder Finger, which I.
Speaker 3: Love that he wrote that.
Speaker 1: So Ben Lee will be joining us next week. I
Speaker 1: was very excited when he chose this movie. Nervous and
Speaker 1: excited because Ben Lee nominated from the mid nineteen seventies,
Speaker 1: based on David Williamson's play directed by Bruce Beresford, starring
Speaker 1: Jack Thompson and Graham Kennedy and John Howard, not the
Speaker 1: ex Prime Minister, the actual actor.
Speaker 3: The Club.
Speaker 1: Yes, the movie based around the Collingwood Football Club. It's
Speaker 1: a movie that's dear to my heart. I've sent him
Speaker 1: many times, haven't watched it for years. I can only
Speaker 1: imagine there some problematic aging issues around it, but maybe not.
Speaker 1: Who knows what ben Lee will make of a footy
Speaker 1: film from the seventies. I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 1: That's next week, and you ain't seen nothing yet. Ben
Speaker 1: Lee watches the club until then. By for now, and
Speaker 11: So we leave old Pete save Van Salt, and to
Speaker 11: our friends of the radio audience, we've been a pleasant
Speaker 11: good name.
