00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 3: You granted an He's he's the only, right, He's the

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: only because it's the sort of like the origin story.

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: It's a prequel.

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, not a remake, another remake of the movie,

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: but prequel.

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: You could argue the case that we didn't need the

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: last one with Johnny Depp. We didn't, you know, john

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: with you know, the darkness that was involved in that one,

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: because it was pretty creepy.

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 4: Dark enough, it was pretty creepy. He tells its own story.

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: The original Willy Wonka was so damn good. Need to

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: be Wild. It was so incredible.

24
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: Sammy Davis. Yeah, let me.

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: Think about movie remakes and TV shows that they touched.

26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's remakes and sequels and of course TV shows.

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: And it makes me think about things like the Flintstones. Yep,

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: John Goodman, Elizabeth Perkins, what was going on there? I

29
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: didn't need that Bewitched, Sorry, didn't need that. They should

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: have left be Witched alone? So which one should have

31
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: been left alone? And be standalone classics? And have you

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: got one in your mind that comes to mind that

33
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: has been done or should just be left alone?

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: I would rather they stopped having a go at Little Women. Yes,

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: And if you want to see Little Women, go see that. Well,

36
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 3: don't go see but find the Elizabeth Taylor June Allis

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: Gilson from was either.

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 4: The late forties or late fifty lay fifties.

39
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I think Absolute Gold got lemonade steins on my gloves

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: a long time ago.

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't even remember that movie.

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: I think so and so because she was Joe Marsh

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: so she would have been the one with lemonade stains

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: on her gloves. Oh yes, that's why she couldn't go

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: to the next door neighbors.

46

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,160

Speaker 3: to be oh, look we've got lady Ghostbusters.

00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,040

129
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: I think it was two. Yeah, okay, yeah they did.

130
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 6: It just wasn't as believable, you know it was. It

131
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 6: was just like a thrown together kind of movie.

132
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: I thought I didn't have that blonde American woman who

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: was dating Ryan Seacrest, the TV host believe is a dancer, and.

134
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't great.

135
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 6: How can you replace Kevin Baker?

136
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: You can't.

137
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: You can't, is the That's why it should be left alone.

138
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: Thanks Kristen, Thank you Lisa and tapping what gets your vote?

139
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: Leave it alone both.

140
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 5: It's definitely Peach Dragon, the original Peach Dragon is absolutely

141
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: beyond magic.

142
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, have they done. Haven't tampered with that.

143
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: They haven't tampered but that should absolutely because Pastor mcquardi

144
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: is still one of the most magic words in our family.

145
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: And I don't think I've ever cried that hard and

146
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: laughed that hard in the movie. I think the only

147
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 5: thing that could maybe come second was Never Ending Story. Also,

148
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: Dragon definitely was magic.

149
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: Lisa, Apparently they did do a little remake a few

150
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: years ago, so give it a big birth.

151
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: Stay away from it by all accounts.

152
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: It was terrible. You thought you're getting Yeah.

153
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 9: Just ignore it.

154
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: Thank Lisa dragging gets one there. Yeah, Dean in lind Wood. Dean,

Speaker 6: You guys think so, but I reckon. Greece was the word.

157
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I made number two. What were they thinking?

158
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: Work?

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: It was making a big stain, wasn't it, Michelle.

160

184
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,600

Speaker 2: Okay.

00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 5: No.

190
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 3: The number one most viewed Wikipedi page of twenty twenty

191
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: three is chat gbt.

192

201

Speaker 1: welcome her this morning. Christina, Thank you very much.

256
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,040

257
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: Good morning, Christina, Congratulations on an amazing twelve years in charge.

258
00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: What why now?

259
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: What brought about the decision for this moment? Oh?

260
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 6: Look, twelve years is a long time and you start

261
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 6: to think about how long you should be around, and

262
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 6: we've had such success. It's important to leave a job

263
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 6: in good shape for the next person. And I don't

264
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 6: think I could leave it in better shape at the

265
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 6: moment where we are with our playing group off the field,

266
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 6: with our finances and our business and the redevelopment. So

267
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 6: it seemed an ideal time.

268
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

269
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: One part of that development has been the incredible As

270
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: I drove past the Whacker at four thirty this morning,

271
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: I saw the poster of the Scorches poster with the

272
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: men and women there on equal terms on that poster.

273
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: It's changed a lot for the women's game as well,

274
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: hasn't it, Christina?

275
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it has changed a lot, and you know, we're

276
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 6: celebrating our cricketers together as cricketers not as a genders

277
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 6: and that's been one of the things I'm really proud

278
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 6: of is not just our male and female cricketers I

279
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 6: celebrated together, but we've got programs now for Aboriginal people,

280
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 6: people with a disability. We set up our matches so

281
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 6: fans of all backgrounds, all interests are comfortable in the

282
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 6: environment and make it truly a game for everybody, which

283
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 6: has been an exciting thing to get part of.

284
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: Christina.

285
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: When you came into the role twelve years ago, it

286
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 3: did cross my mind I have to say, oh, Christina's

287
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: going to have to take on a bit of an

288
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: old boys club. Did you have to Was it as

289
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: good or bad as you expected? And how have things changed? Well,

290
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: as you've just explained, things have changed, But did you

291
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: have to take.

292
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 9: Well?

293
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 6: I think when you're sort of breaking down barriers, there's

294
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 6: always things like that around. That's becoming more less and

295
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 6: less of an issue as time goes on. Generational change

296
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 6: takes time. People of a certain demographic don't change easily.

297
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 6: They're they're smaller in number, and you know, it's exciting

298
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 6: to talk to young people today about how open they are,

299
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 6: what they accept and you know, what they enjoy about crickets.

300
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 6: So nothing, nothing we're doing is easy. So it's been

301
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 6: really rewarding to be part of it into twelve years.

302
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: So you've been so successful. Diplomatic answer too, christ What

303
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: about the December announcement for a March departure? Is that

304
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: how you can enjoy the summer a cricket ahead.

305
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 6: Well, there's two parts. Yes, I want to enjoy the summer,

306
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 6: but I am obligated in my contract to give three

307
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 6: months noted, so I tried to time it so it

308
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 6: wasn't during any of our competition, So after the wbb

309
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 6: L was finished and before the Test match and BBL

310
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 6: started and so and I can enjoy the rest of

311
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 6: the summer and you know, helper transition if they.

312
00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: Want me to.

313
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: What were the biggest challenges that you think you feel

314
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: your face during your tenure Christina.

315
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 4: I know COVID was a very expensive.

316
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: You know time.

317
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, there's different sorts of challenges. So COVID was

318
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 6: a very big business challenge and was exhausting but also rewarding.

319
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 6: You know, I'm a competitive beast, so that that kind

320
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 6: of spills over into getting the business done, and so

321
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 6: the challenge of getting through that was also invigorating. Sometimes

322
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 6: the most unusual things the biggest challenges. So you know,

323
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 6: I laughed now. I think it was or three weeks

324
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 6: ago the Saka made a big announcement that they were

325
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:52,479
Speaker 6: changing their scoreboard from batti batsman to batting with great fanfare.

326
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 6: This many years ago, and honestly, you would have thought

327
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 6: that we'd you know, invaded a so, you know, such

328
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 6: a small, inclusive thing some people get really excited about. Yeah, so, yeah,

329
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 6: it's interesting the things that really people should be worried

330
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 6: about there often go oh, yeah, you can look after that.

331
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 6: And then the small things that are just you know

332
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 6: about making people feel welcome and acknowledging changes in the game,

333
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 6: people you know, get very excited about.

334
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. Christina is a cricket tragic. I understand.

335
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: People around the world love the ground, the Whacker ground itself,

336
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: and obviously that becomes a challenge because opter Stadium comes

337
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: into the pictures and cricket goes there.

338
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: So that would have been one of the challenges as well,

339
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't it.

340
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 6: I look, I always saw it as an opportunity. The

341
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 6: challenge was in convincing people the two grounds can coexist

342
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 6: and not lose which I think we've done quite well now,

343
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 6: but the game needed to have somewhere to grow. We

344
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 6: were at capacity at the whack of ground the government

345
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 6: was building this stadium. Our challenge was to make sure

346
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 6: that we didn't miss out on the opportunity to be

347
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 6: at at the table when it was being designed and

348
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 6: ensure that the cricket facilities were in place for cricket

349
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 6: in the future. So we're now at a stage where

350
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 6: we've got a really nice relationship with off the stadium.

351
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 6: We share things. So the most recent one was Tottenham Hotspurs.

352
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 6: They came here to play, they trained at our ground

353
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: for ten days, that was their base and we work

354
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 6: really well together. And the close proximity means we can

355
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 6: have events and teams have easy training and playing facilities

356
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 6: without having to travel all over the city. So it's

357
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 6: been really good. And when the redevelopment is finished, we'll

358
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 6: have a ground that people can come to every day

359
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 6: of the year with the swimming pool, the cafe and

360
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 6: all sorts of other activities not connected to a match

361
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 6: going on.

362
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 4: That's very cool. Bring people back to this end of

363
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: you know Hay Street as well.

364
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, And with the primary school being built

365
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 6: in the Region Park. There's a lot of it at

366
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 6: this end of town.

367
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: It would be nice to see this end of town

368
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 3: get a bit of a you know, because it used

369
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: to be a very happening park, a bit of vibrancy.

370
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 4: Again, as you say, is there any talk about a replacement?

371
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: And this is your moment.

372
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: I probably shouldn't ask this right now, but any any

373
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: they'll be scrapping now.

374
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 6: You watch your hurry up.

375
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: My grandfather used to say how many times I said

376
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 3: that to you, Clary, That's.

377
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: Funny, still warm.

378
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 6: Look, my job as a CEO is to ensure that

379
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: I've got staff who could step up if that's what

380
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 6: the boards want. So I'm comfortable that we've got staff

381
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 6: internally who could step up into the role. But it's

382
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 6: not my job.

383
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 8: You know.

384
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 6: We identified people externally that we know, but the board

385
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 6: will go on a search and make that decision.

386
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking into a crystal ball for next week, Christine.

387
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Way's Lance Morris, the wild thing

388
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: terrorizing the upper order of the Pakistani test team in

389
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: the first test. Wouldn't it be great if another West

390
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: do he got his cap Yeah, it would be terrific.

391
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 6: We're certainly running out of room on our Hall of

392
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 6: Walk of Fame for Test players, so it'd be nice to.

393
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: Fill that up a little bit more.

394
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 6: But yeah, we're hopeful that he has a debut, and

395
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 6: you know, we thought it was going to happen last

396
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 6: summer and he just kept missing out. So with the

397
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 6: ball was coming off a World Cup and we know

398
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 6: there's a few niggles with them, so we'll see what happens.

399
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, lovely to see him get a baggy green.

400
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 6: Well.

401
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: Based on everything saying, it sounds like the future of

402
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 3: w Way cricket is looking very good.

403
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, as a cricketer, what you

404
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 6: want to do? Who is the depth in your playing

405
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 6: squads and we've certainly got that. So we've just got

406
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: to keep working on it and keep following the same

407
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 6: pattern and we'll be strong for years to come.

00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 2: But I think that really Notki tell us more right?

475
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 8: So he is a Japanese animation God, that's we're talking.

476
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 8: So we're talking like the Walt Disney of Japanese animation.

477
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 8: You could make the case, maybe you know, maybe you

478
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 8: know his resume is even better. And all you have

479
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 8: to look at is who he has influenced over the years, right,

480
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 8: So this is the guy who has given us the

481
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 8: Oscar winning Spirited Away back in two thousand and one, Pono,

482
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 8: my neighbor Toto. These are all on Netflix these days,

483
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 8: so they're pretty widely streamed. But so John Lassiter, who

484
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 8: is one of the founding creative officers of Pixar. He

485
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 8: came up with the idea of Toy Story when he

486
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 8: was visiting with Miyazaki.

487
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: In Tokyo, Okay, the origin, so.

488
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 8: There'd be no there'd be no Toy Story without Miyazaki.

489
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 8: And then you've got people like Pete Doctor, who is

490
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 8: a three time Academy Award winner who won Oscars for Up,

491
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 8: Inside Out and Soul for some of Pixar's best movies.

492
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 8: He is hugely inspired by Miyazaki, and when he became

493
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 8: creative director of Pixar, basically, anytime they were making a

494
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 8: Pixar movie and they got stuck for inspiration, they would

495
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 8: put on a Miyazaki film in the office and that's

496
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 8: where they would get their ideas from. So it gives

497
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 8: you kind of an idea, and even beyond animation, like

498
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 8: directors like James Cameron, Where's Anderson Gillomo del Toro have

499
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 8: all taken inspiration from Miyazarki over the years. And now

500
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 8: the animator is in his early eighties and about thirteen

501
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 8: years ago, and about thirteen years ago he pulled the

502
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 8: pin on his career. He's like, you know what I'm done.

503
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 8: I've made a bunch of movies. I'm retiring. And he

504
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 8: kind of, you know, went off the radar for a

505
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 8: little while, and then a couple of years ago decided

506
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 8: to get back into it. And he's doing this last film,

507
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 8: The Boy and the Heron, which everybody who's into Japanese

508
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 8: animation and animation in general and a lot of filmmakers

509
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 8: been super excited about, and it's finally getting it to

510
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 8: release here in Australia this week. And like films like

511
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 8: Spirited Away and How's Moving Castle, he tells this story

512
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 8: of a young character in Japan sort of around about

513
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 8: the time of World War Two, which is a period

514
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 8: that Miyazaki has always been very fascinated with. Hich is

515
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 8: kind of his own childhood yep. And this boy is

516
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 8: forced to flee Tokyo when his mom dies in a

517
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 8: hospital fire because of the bombings in World War two,

518
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 8: goes to regional Japan with his dad and his dad's

519
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 8: new wife, and when he's there in this strange surroundings,

520
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 8: he gets involved in this kind of mysterious adventure involving

521
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 8: a giant heron and this cast of wild characters. Miyazaki

522
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 8: films are always kind of known for this incredible imagination

523
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 8: that he brings to it sort of supernatural, but they

524
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 8: touch on something sort of very human and universal, and

525
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 8: they end up being like incredibly beautiful films that make

526
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 8: statements about family, sort of learning about yourself, as well

527
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 8: as the environment and you know, the evils of war.

528
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 8: So there's a lot of big themes going on in

529
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 8: all of his films, and like, if you're a purist,

530
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 8: you would probably try to see these films in you know,

531
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 8: the original Japanese language with the subtitles. But Miyazaki always

532
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 8: knew that the key to success overseas was having sort

533
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 8: of English language dubs of his films, and so they've

534
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 8: always put so much effort in incredible voice casts, and

535
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 8: with the boy and the heron, like I would say

536
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 8: this is probably the best voice cast that they've ever

537
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 8: put together. You just listen to some of the people

538
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 8: involved here. So you've got Christian Bale who plays this

539
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 8: young boy's dad. You've got Florence Pugh who and plays

540
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 8: a sort of a plucky female sailor. You've got Willem

541
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 8: Dafoe as a Pelican, Dave Battista as the King of

542
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 8: the parakeets and as the voice of the heron sort

543
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 8: of one of the major characters. You've got Robert Pattinson,

544
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 8: and so you've got just these Mark Hamill is in

545
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 8: it as well, he's a great granduncle. So it's really

546
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 8: a who's who of all of these big name actors

547
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 8: in Hollywood who have just been more than happy to

548
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 8: kind of add their voices to this, to this movie.

549
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 8: Because Mirzaki is just just such a god in the

550
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 8: cinematic industry. And you know, for anybody who's watched any

551
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 8: of his films, this is you know, this is a masterpiece.

552
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 8: There's no other way to describe.

553
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: It is an absolute Gems hasn't let you down. When

554
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: the comeback, he's highly impressed.

555
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Like his films are

556
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 8: like nothing else. And it's in a way it kind

557
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 8: of gets a bit Christopher Nolan esque in some of

558
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 8: the twists towards the end, it feels kind of like

559
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 8: more of a you know, sort of a Hollywood twist

560
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 8: kind of vibe than some of his previous films. But

561
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 8: it's also, you know, it's highly conceptual. If you've never

562
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 8: seen one of his films, you'd walk into it and

563
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 8: go like, or did they have a magic mushroom on

564
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 8: the way in or something?

565
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: What they is going on?

566
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 8: But they really are. There's such a special special movies

567
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 8: and if this is the last one that he ever makes,

568
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 8: he's gone out on a high note.

569
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: L well, gosh, what are you giving it?

570
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 8: Well, I'm giving this one four and a half.

571
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: We know when you're excited about and I don't think

572
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Lisa and I are alone who would have answered the

573
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: question in that way when you asked about me is acting?

574
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: And we both went more so. It was like an

575
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: education for a lot of people right there and here

576
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:25,120
