Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Peter Hellier and welcome to you. Ain't Seen

Speaker 1: English? Motherfucker do you speak it? But haven't a right?
Speaker 3: No, you ain't seen nothing here.
Speaker 1: Pe Miranda is a joyous as you would hope her
Speaker 1: to be, bursting onto the screen and into our hearts
Speaker 1: in two thousands looking for Ala Brandy. Pea lights up
Speaker 1: the screen with an infectious smile which lies a warrior
Speaker 1: at heart. She won a straight in Survivor two years ago.
Speaker 1: That's right, she won it. I had the pleasure of
Speaker 1: meeting Pierre around the time of Ala Brandy and her
Speaker 1: subsequent roles in A Secret Life of Us, which is
Speaker 1: playing on the same network I was working on. I
Speaker 1: worked with her on my anthology dating series It's a
Speaker 1: Date in twenty thirteen, when she played free spirited Camilla
Speaker 1: opposite Shane Jacison's widowed Hugo.
Speaker 4: Hello, my name is Pia Miranda. Some of my favorite
Speaker 4: films are The Godfather.
Speaker 1: I want to make them an offul again with you Goodfellas.
Speaker 5: We were Goodfellas, wise guys, but Jimmy and I could
Speaker 5: never be made because we had Irish blood.
Speaker 3: And Heather's you were Heather. Now I'm a Veronica. And
Speaker 3: up until this week, I had not seen The Notebook.
Speaker 1: The Beautiful score from Aaron Zigman from The Notebook directed
Speaker 1: by Nick Cassavetti's written by Jeremy Leave and Jansardi and Ossie.
Speaker 1: We have an Ossie connection with this Notebook based on
Speaker 1: the book by Nicholas Sparks. It's rich versus Paul will
Speaker 1: Allie played by Rachel mcadam's choosey, strange love of her
Speaker 1: life Noah played by Ryan Gosling, or the rich, equally handsome,
Speaker 1: equally loving Lon Hammond played by James Marsden, Oh the Choice.
Speaker 1: This all plays out in flashbacks featuring James Garner and
Speaker 1: Gina Rowlands, and it's directed I Did Say, directed by
Speaker 1: Nick Cassavettis who is the Funny Enough the son of
Speaker 1: John Cassavetti's and Gena Rowlands, who features in the movie.
Speaker 1: Pierre Miranda welcome to you ain't seen nothing yet.
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me pleasure.
Speaker 1: So before we get onto the notebook, I feel I
Speaker 1: feel based on your face favorite movies, we're going to
Speaker 1: get a sense of already. Maybe hey, you viewed the
Speaker 1: Notebook and what you thought of it. But let's just
Speaker 1: talk about those. I mean, you've picked some classics, two
Speaker 1: absolute classics, and a cult classic. Yes, categorize, So when
Speaker 1: when did you first watch Let's start with the two
Speaker 1: Mob films as The god From and Good Fellows. Whe
Speaker 1: Where did you see them? And then when did you
Speaker 1: see them?
Speaker 4: I saw The Godfather one and two quite young, because
Speaker 4: you know, being brought up in half an Italian family,
Speaker 4: it's a rite of passage.
Speaker 3: Put it on when you're in the crib. Here's some
Speaker 3: tips for how to get through high school.
Speaker 1: Hopefully your Christine didn't play out with the same kind
Speaker 1: of bloodshed that was happening with the Collion.
Speaker 4: No coming my daughters married and asked NY, But I
Speaker 4: used to have on my old phone the Godfather theme
Speaker 4: used to be my ringtone.
Speaker 3: So I quite love.
Speaker 4: That, feel, Yeah, I do love that, And then I
Speaker 4: just think Good Fellas is obviously the same theme. But
Speaker 4: if that is such a fun, good film. I love
Speaker 4: that film so much. So, you know, and then Heathers
Speaker 4: I've seen probably a hundred times.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: Maybe my friend Tom like, we're obsessed with it for
Speaker 4: years and we used to just watch it all the time.
Speaker 4: It was even on TV the other night and I
Speaker 4: started watching it again.
Speaker 3: I love it. I need to afford to heart and
Speaker 3: horny but realistically low key.
Speaker 4: Note Kurt's handwriting and will slip it onto Martha Dumpchuck's
Speaker 4: lunch tree shit.
Speaker 3: Other I don't have anything against Martha Dumbstock.
Speaker 1: You don't have anything for her either. Have they re
Speaker 1: made Heathers or was there a TV series.
Speaker 4: Based on I've done a TV series which was fine,
Speaker 4: But there's something magic about that first Heathers film. And
Speaker 4: I think if you ever are a nerd and you
Speaker 4: want to watch the special features about the making of
Speaker 4: Heathers and you know what the actors experience going through it,
Speaker 4: it even makes you love it even more because it's
Speaker 4: just it's got its own language.
Speaker 3: It's just such a dark, cool film.
Speaker 1: So I've seen it, but a long time ago. So
Speaker 1: it's not a writer writer Christian Slater and who are
Speaker 1: the other Heathers are they They.
Speaker 4: Shannon Dougherty And then I don't know the names of
Speaker 4: the other actresses, So Winona Rod is not a Heather,
Speaker 4: she's a Veronica, that's right. Yeah, And then there's three
Speaker 4: Heathers in a Veronica and Veronica falls in love with
Speaker 4: JD and she thinks they accidentally kill one of the
Speaker 4: Heathers who's like the big bully.
Speaker 5: Veronic and a hangover silver with this up for you.
Speaker 1: It's a family recipe, just give me the cup, jerk.
Speaker 3: Cor lots, but he's actually killed her on purpose.
Speaker 4: And then it turns into this whole kind of bizarre
Speaker 4: suicide film where they start murdering people and then pretending
Speaker 4: it's suicide. But the sort of the theme of the
Speaker 4: film is, you know, if the if you cut off
Speaker 4: the head of the snake, another head's going to pop up.
Speaker 4: So they get rid of the bully, another bully pops up,
Speaker 4: and it's this vicious cycle and it's it's a good film.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I just killed my best friend and
Speaker 2: you're worst enemy.
Speaker 1: Same difference. No, I remember really liking it. It's just
Speaker 1: a film I haven't revisited a whole lot. But no,
Speaker 1: great choice. Let's get on to the why do you see?
Speaker 1: You were a list of many movies to say. Here
Speaker 1: is some suggestions from thought stars. You can it can
Speaker 1: be another movie not on this list, but you chose
Speaker 1: the Notebook.
Speaker 4: I did well because on your list there was quite
Speaker 4: a few really good films that I'd seen, and I
Speaker 4: knew it was going to be a romance, a romance
Speaker 4: or a romantic comedy, because that's not my style of
Speaker 4: film at all.
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people may think of you as like,
Speaker 1: who don't know you? You looking from Afar and see
Speaker 1: your work. Who might just think maybe because it's just
Speaker 1: simply because you're a woman, but they might go.
Speaker 3: Hey, could you not have seen The Notebook exactly? And
Speaker 3: I hadn't seen Titanic either, but that was taken.
Speaker 1: It was taken.
Speaker 4: But I knew that whatever it was going to be
Speaker 4: was going to be some kind of romance because they
Speaker 4: definitely try and avoid them.
Speaker 3: And I'm not heartless, like you know, Rise of Skywalker.
Speaker 4: I was all up for that love story, like that's
Speaker 4: my kind of love story, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: They like battle and that was I fully into that.
Speaker 4: So I'm not like dead inside. I just don't like
Speaker 4: rom Comes.
Speaker 1: There's the clickbait, not dead inside. I want to circle
Speaker 1: back to Riser Skywalker, but we won't get sidetracked just
Speaker 1: yet because I did love Riders Skywalker as well. So okay,
Speaker 1: so what did you know of The Notebook before watching it? Like,
Speaker 1: what were your impressions? What were you aware of?
Speaker 4: I knew about the Notebook that a lot of people
Speaker 4: told me I had to watch it because I was
Speaker 4: going to cry through the whole thing, like you got
Speaker 4: to see it, Oh my god, the Notebook and it
Speaker 4: just comes up all the time, and I think maybe
Speaker 4: was I just being contrary?
Speaker 3: I was like, I just don't want to see that film. Man.
Speaker 4: I knew there was a lot of crying, Yeah, and
Speaker 4: that was it? Really a lot of you ways see
Speaker 4: that crying kissing in the rain.
Speaker 1: That's the scene that I was aware of, and whether
Speaker 1: I was I could see the scene. I didn't know
Speaker 1: where it took place, but I knew either the image
Speaker 1: or the scene. I felt that I knew. I've knew
Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams was in it. I knew
Speaker 1: they had a relationship. After that, I knew there was
Speaker 1: a Notebook, and I knew there.
Speaker 3: Was some question the notebook came out like oh right,
Speaker 3: and what for me? I waited for you here, now
Speaker 3: we wait still. I had a block to because I'm like.
Speaker 4: Two really really pretty pretty people like having a dramatic
Speaker 4: love story, like where's the jeopard if you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like they're hot and so what like hot people fighting
Speaker 4: about and being dramatic, Like I don't know, for me,
Speaker 4: it wasn't that exciting.
Speaker 1: Well, when Ryan Gosling says they had the big blow
Speaker 1: up later on in the film where he says, you know,
Speaker 1: this is what we do. We fight and then we
Speaker 1: get back together, it's like, have you fought that much
Speaker 1: in this.
Speaker 3: TIFFs? You know, these little weird TIFs?
Speaker 4: And yeah, it was funny because I feel like, you know,
Speaker 4: Street Cart named Desire, you know, that real masculine kind
Speaker 4: of dirty energy that he had, So that's what they
Speaker 4: were trying to emulate, but possibly sort of they didn't
Speaker 4: pull it off.
Speaker 1: They tried to do it with the Beard. He comes
Speaker 1: back with his hips to beard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like he's very you know, he's very light. I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought Rachel McAdams was working really hard, like
Speaker 4: I thought she did it as like an actor watching
Speaker 4: another actor. I could see her really trying to create
Speaker 4: all of the chemistry. I know a lot of people
Speaker 4: think they had chemistry.
Speaker 3: I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: It's funny because initially they they were going to recast
Speaker 1: because they both hated each other, right, And did they
Speaker 1: end up going out, Yes, they ended up going out.
Speaker 1: They became a real couple, and so eventually they took
Speaker 1: him aside and kind of, you know, did something to
Speaker 1: kind of make it work. And it obviously worked because
Speaker 1: they got along.
Speaker 3: I thought she was working really hard to create chemistry.
Speaker 3: I thought she was.
Speaker 4: I could see an actor like really working and doing
Speaker 4: a good job.
Speaker 1: Because she was. She just come off mean girls. So
Speaker 1: this was I think for her film after that, and
Speaker 1: then she went on to did Wedding Crashes. I remember
Speaker 1: seeing her in Wedding Crashes and thinking, oh, wow, she
Speaker 1: is like the romantic comedy lead. Yeah, and she.
Speaker 4: Makes sense because she's adorable, but she's also she looks
Speaker 4: like a hard working actor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know she's a good actor.
Speaker 1: No, Okay, I want to I want you to take
Speaker 1: the Notebook Romance quiz. Okay, I'm going to ask you
Speaker 1: if you have done any of these things. Okay, because
Speaker 1: these are things that often pop up.
Speaker 3: Is romantic?
Speaker 1: Romantic happened in the movie?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to say ahead of time. Probably not.
Speaker 1: Probably not. Okay, let's find out. Have you ever laid
Speaker 1: down in the middle of the street on the first
Speaker 1: date and looked up the traffic lights?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Ever been tempted to do such a thing?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Have you done railway tracks that often happens in other movies?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, okay. Have you ever run up to your love
Speaker 1: one seconds after he knocked off work and mounted him
Speaker 1: in front of his coworkers.
Speaker 4: No, my partner works on set, like imagine that.
Speaker 3: It's like me rolling up.
Speaker 1: Yeah that in other films.
Speaker 3: No thanks, No thanks, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Have you ever written on handlebars been given a dink
Speaker 1: on handlebus as an adult in a loving kind of way,
Speaker 1: not just as a you know.
Speaker 3: I've done it as in a non loving kind of way.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you ever rowed in a boat or been
Speaker 1: rowed in the boat with a million swans around you?
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to remember. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Have you ever have you ever laughed really hard in
Speaker 1: the rain, like when it rains have you ever found it?
Speaker 1: I usually find that annoying and I want to get
Speaker 1: dry and I want to get undercover. Have you ever
Speaker 1: like giggled so much because it's just so damn funny?
Speaker 3: No? No, I'm not a rain fan.
Speaker 1: Have you Okay? Now, I think we're almost going to
Speaker 1: move on from the notebook to other movies. Have you
Speaker 1: ever watched airplanes land? You know, we're at the top
Speaker 1: of their strip on the back of a sitting on
Speaker 1: the back of a car watching Never. No. Have you
Speaker 1: ever snuck into a planetarium after hours?
Speaker 3: Never? But I've not lived. I've not lived.
Speaker 1: Have you ever climbed the water to sneak into a
Speaker 1: junk yard featuring old World War Two aircraft?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, what have you been doing? Have you ever made
Speaker 1: a dash to an airport? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Just because I'm late though my plane?
Speaker 1: We got one. We got one.
Speaker 3: I haven't lived, You have not have not lived.
Speaker 4: That's a it's a lot of romance weird that I
Speaker 4: can't imagine many people would have done much of that,
Speaker 4: like people of the street. Maybe when you like really
Speaker 4: drunk or something, And yeah, it's probably turned because you've collapsed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, take us through some more thoughts on this movie.
Speaker 1: Do you like the the flashback voiceover? There's a people
Speaker 1: were very anti flashbacks and voiceovers, and this was pretty
Speaker 1: popular around this time. You had like Titanic, did this
Speaker 1: Saving Private Ryan? Did this Shawshank Redemption? Are you a
Speaker 1: fan of it? Does it take you out?
Speaker 4: I think if it's done well, it can be good.
Speaker 4: I think the premise of the flashback was quite sweet.
Speaker 4: That's probably what I like the most about the film
Speaker 4: is the idea that this guy is reading the love
Speaker 4: of this love story to his wife in the hope
Speaker 4: that he might get five minutes a day where she
Speaker 4: remembers and he gets a work like I think on paper.
Speaker 4: That's a really beautiful idea and probably the thing that
Speaker 4: touched me most about the film, if even if it
Speaker 4: wasn't pulled off.
Speaker 5: You know quite well, the best love is kind of weekends,
Speaker 5: the saw that makes us reach for more, that plants
Speaker 5: of fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.
Speaker 5: And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hope
Speaker 5: to give to you.
Speaker 3: Forever.
Speaker 1: I love you, I'll be seeing you.
Speaker 4: That's a really sweet idea because you don't really see
Speaker 4: many films about dementia, like there's Iris, I think, but
Speaker 4: there's not that many films about dementia and love.
Speaker 1: Do you think we're supposed to know straight away that
Speaker 1: they were the couple? Well?
Speaker 3: I think it was weird because he had brown hair,
Speaker 3: so you're like, oh, she married the other dude.
Speaker 4: But then it flashes to the book at the end
Speaker 4: and they're not the same people, so it was just
Speaker 4: them and the imagination. So that kind of takes you
Speaker 4: out of the film a bit because you're like, oh, right,
Speaker 4: I guess they just picked them because they wanted to
Speaker 4: try because he had brown hair.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, I thought, and I'm not sure if I
Speaker 1: was just like thinking, you know, like getting ahead on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But if I was singing straight away, it's like, as
Speaker 1: soon the first time I saw James Garner and General,
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, well that's Ryan Gosling and Ragel McAdams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they're going to end up together in this
Speaker 1: in this movie. So I got a bit ahead of
Speaker 1: myself with that, and I was I was second guessing myself, going,
Speaker 1: am I supposed to is this supposed to be a twist'?
Speaker 1: It just seems really obvious to.
Speaker 4: Me, Well, I thought maybe Ryan Gosling died and that's
Speaker 4: why we would cry.
Speaker 1: At one point in the film, I thought, oh, maybe
Speaker 1: it is James Marsden, and maybe that's the little twist
Speaker 1: that are going to play on me. But that obviously
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done you because you thought it was maybe
Speaker 1: James mars.
Speaker 4: Literally just because he had brown hair, Like how do
Speaker 4: you grow brown hair? Like that was going through my brain,
Speaker 4: like can you get brown here when you get older?
Speaker 3: But if you blond?
Speaker 4: But but then I was confused because it was sort
Speaker 4: of starting to become near the end like oh, this
Speaker 4: seems like it's Ryan Gosling's character.
Speaker 3: Yes, And then they did that weird photo album and
Speaker 3: then the fact I.
Speaker 1: Was weird because it was young James Garner and young General.
Speaker 3: And so then you're like, who are the other people?
Speaker 1: There are six sens in going on here.
Speaker 4: There's they just picked really good looking people for their flashbacks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I thought they were very sweet. James Garner
Speaker 1: and Gena Rowlands. I thought they you know, and I
Speaker 1: thought that the matches actually were quite good. I thought
Speaker 1: Gena Rowlands in particular, it was a really good match
Speaker 1: for an older Rachel McAdams.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 1: The one thing I thought of actually, which I quite
Speaker 1: liked about this film and the way they did it,
Speaker 1: was that James Marsden's character was a nice guy. I
Speaker 1: watched Titanic recently for this show, and the Billy Zain
Speaker 1: character is that they've gone they've put so much Mayo
Speaker 1: on it, Like it's that they've tried really hard to
Speaker 1: point out that he's like the biggest cho Yeah, and
Speaker 1: obviously they're doing different things, like they don't have the
Speaker 1: time they need to kind of make a bigger thing
Speaker 1: because that, you know, they need all this action happening
Speaker 1: while a boat is sinking, where they don't have time
Speaker 1: to kind of delve into feelings the way the way
Speaker 1: the Notebook does. But Billy's ant is such a wanker, right,
Speaker 1: But he's so over the top, you know, like the
Speaker 1: Titanic sinking, and he's still he's still pissed off that
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio is running off for Kate Winslet. It's glad
Speaker 1: to go, mate, Come let's get off the boat to die.
Speaker 1: You're a better die. It's over. But James Marsin's is
Speaker 1: a nice guy and like when jol McAdams goes to
Speaker 1: him and says, you know that I just need some
Speaker 1: time away. He says everything that you would hope somebody
Speaker 1: would say when I.
Speaker 4: Would know, I feel like one person, and when I'm
Speaker 4: with you, I feel like someone totally different.
Speaker 2: It's normal not to forget your first love. I love you,
Speaker 2: but I want you for myself. I don't want to
Speaker 2: have to convince my fiance that she should be with me.
Speaker 1: Should I be worried? Are you okay? Yes, go away,
Speaker 1: do what you need to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it was clever to make him a viable alternative,
Speaker 4: so you know, either ending was going to be okay
Speaker 4: and you were meant to sort of feel like anything
Speaker 4: was possible.
Speaker 3: And he's a good guy. But maybe you.
Speaker 4: Just can't fight love, like maybe not maybe not push
Speaker 4: towards someone else just because your present partners a dick. Like,
Speaker 4: maybe it's just you can't fight love even if you've
Speaker 4: got a really good option.
Speaker 3: So that was a good you know, I got that.
Speaker 1: I think you're coming around.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: It was a long film, pet like it was long.
Speaker 1: It was it was too and it felt like a
Speaker 1: beat like so okay, So Joan Alan takes he's always great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's great when she sees the guy. The guy, yeah,
Speaker 3: at the lumberyard.
Speaker 1: So it takes it to the lumberyard.
Speaker 3: And I shagged some rough trade too, you know sometimes
Speaker 3: when I'm in the area, STARp.
Speaker 1: Here and don't watch him, trying to picture how different
Speaker 1: my life might be a bonding session, and this is
Speaker 1: where the convenience of movie isn't and you know, like
Speaker 1: it's where he wasn't quite clear for me, Like if
Speaker 1: you know, on the surface you find, you accept it,
Speaker 1: but if you scrutinize it. So I just want to
Speaker 1: get the motivation of Joan Allen's character here. So she
Speaker 1: on the surface, we believe that she's going to take
Speaker 1: Rachel McAdam somewhere where she's going to say, point out,
Speaker 1: this is why you're making a mistake, and she thinks
Speaker 1: she's going to take it. She takes her to the
Speaker 1: lumberyard and points out that this guy, and we think
Speaker 1: she's kind of saying, you know, I could have ended
Speaker 1: up with that guy, but luckily I ended up with
Speaker 1: your dad because you know, you know, we've got the
Speaker 1: money and all that. And as she's saying all that,
Speaker 1: she gets quite upset and as she remembers the hot.
Speaker 3: Times, the passion, the plash guy.
Speaker 1: She once had. So there's a turning point in her
Speaker 1: motivation there.
Speaker 3: So then she gives her the letters after that too, Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: She goes back. She drops her off back at Goslings
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 4: I don't even know the guy's name, Like that's how
Speaker 4: not I wasn't It was Noah, Noah, thank you.
Speaker 1: It was Noah Noah and Alie, I mean I was
Speaker 1: taking notes. And then she gets out of the car.
Speaker 1: She kind of says, you know, I hope you make
Speaker 1: the right choice, and she Alie gets out of the
Speaker 1: car Regie mcadam's, and then she has a thought. She goes,
Speaker 1: I'll give you the letters, so she could shut the
Speaker 1: letters in the trunk. Why would she have the letters
Speaker 1: in the trunk if she was going to make this
Speaker 1: point of like basically like, why didn't you burn the
Speaker 1: letters for? To begin with? Well, would you keep those
Speaker 1: letters around?
Speaker 3: I thought that too, Like it just seemed very convenient
Speaker 3: that she.
Speaker 1: Brought them very neatly stacked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like very neatly. So she kept them, which is
Speaker 3: kind of creepy, like your mum keeping the letters and
Speaker 3: wrapping them in ribbons. That's just creepy, Like I would
Speaker 3: respect her more if she's like, screw this guy.
Speaker 1: And then like so she took the David Jones before,
Speaker 1: like I'm going to get these.
Speaker 3: Gift raps and I've been creepily like holding on to them.
Speaker 4: So I don't know whether we're meant to think that
Speaker 4: she came with the idea to help her find her
Speaker 4: way by giving her the truth about Noah and giving
Speaker 4: her the truth about her past. But that's a big
Speaker 4: thing to just packed those letters in the boot just
Speaker 4: in case it really is, I guess, And there weren't.
Speaker 3: Three hundred and sixty five because I was looking at
Speaker 3: them and that's.
Speaker 1: Like, maybe it's the first stack. Maybe it's not the
Speaker 1: first quarter with the rest the first quarter of the year.
Speaker 1: I did like the War Widow kind of that little
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 3: I like that that was that was a good story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was good, she was she was good, she
Speaker 1: was she played that really well. I thought when it
Speaker 1: was really nice and Rachel mcadam's invited the rent, I
Speaker 1: thought I did things. There are threesome happening.
Speaker 3: That's my husband said. It's like, oh, what's gonna happen here.
Speaker 3: Nothing that cool is going to happen.
Speaker 1: So will you watch The Notebook ever? Again?
Speaker 4: No, I can definitely say that I respect and encourage
Speaker 4: people to watch it if it's up there alley, but
Speaker 4: it's sort of not I'm just not I don't want
Speaker 4: to say I'm not romantic, but I you know, my
Speaker 4: idea of like like it's our anniversary next year, next week,
Speaker 4: and my idea of like the perfect day is like
Speaker 4: Burger's beer PlayStation, like I ten year old boy, like
Speaker 4: deeping myself, and so I don't want to be but that's.
Speaker 1: Just looks like can we please just watch Titanic? Can
Speaker 1: we just please?
Speaker 3: She's the same, He's fine, I'll play Metal Gis solo
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 4: So, you know, I don't know if it's a fault
Speaker 4: in my own personality that I didn't embrace it as
Speaker 4: much as I felt like I should have.
Speaker 3: But I kind of knew I wasn't going to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I wondered, pe Miranda, if this movie kind
Speaker 1: of reminded you of another movie of a girl who
Speaker 1: different men that choose from from a different side, so he.
Speaker 3: Picks the hot rough trade as well.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's ever picked the rich rich movies.
Speaker 3: No, they don't do that.
Speaker 1: So that was and that was your I looked it up.
Speaker 1: I knew it was one of your early films, but
Speaker 1: it was your first film.
Speaker 4: It was my very first film. All I'd done before
Speaker 4: that was Neighbors. I was Toadfish's first girlfriend. Whoah, I
Speaker 4: popped Toady's cherry.
Speaker 3: Yes, if that like, that is there's a few things
Speaker 3: I'm proud. I never knew that that is, Like, I'm
Speaker 3: so proud of that. Like, I know a serious relationship
Speaker 3: with Tody, like serious relationships, so that.
Speaker 1: Your names eighteen months and like full on dating Tody
Speaker 1: the whole time when he.
Speaker 3: Had the ponytail too. It's like classic Tody. Yeah, me
Speaker 3: and Toadfish. So I got to write me out though
Speaker 3: they forgot.
Speaker 4: Because I had to go do Alabrida forot to write
Speaker 4: me out. So I had to, like and I told
Speaker 4: them they forgot. And so I just walk in one
Speaker 4: day with a Pavlova and I'm like, what's the similarity
Speaker 4: between me and Pavlova?
Speaker 3: And He's like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: When I go, well, Pavlova's from New Zealand and That's
Speaker 4: where I'm moving.
Speaker 3: Bye, Karen.
Speaker 1: I really want to find that scene. Is that scene
Speaker 1: available anywhere that? I'm oh my god? So were they? Like?
Speaker 1: Were they racist scenes? I mean, that doesn't get too racist,
Speaker 1: particularly back then.
Speaker 3: But it's a racist scene in Ali Brandy.
Speaker 4: Like, I know my kids want to watch it, or
Speaker 4: some of the parents like my kids watch our Brandy
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh my, I'm like, did you fast
Speaker 4: forward the learn a bit where he grabs mutch? So
Speaker 4: I definitely have to cut that out if my kids
Speaker 4: are going to see it. I've done a couple of
Speaker 4: The funny thing about being an actor is like, when
Speaker 4: you're really young, everyone really tells you, like, you've got
Speaker 4: to be naked in this thing because it's a real
Speaker 4: commitment to your craft, and you know, real actors get
Speaker 4: naked and they push themselves and then you kind of
Speaker 4: hit like thirty nine and everyone stops asking you to
Speaker 4: be naked, and you're like, oh, it wasn't really about
Speaker 4: commitments to my craft.
Speaker 3: It was about getting a young girl to get a
Speaker 3: knocks out.
Speaker 4: And I'm an idiot, so no one's asked me for
Speaker 4: a very long time lesson learned.
Speaker 1: So they are they are. I've never I've never done
Speaker 1: a sex thing, thank god, but I've done I've had
Speaker 1: to do with it's a date and then how to
Speaker 1: stay married, like scenes where they might evolve kissing, and
Speaker 1: like I've come through to acting via the side door
Speaker 1: or the back door. You know, I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: train to be an actor. I didn't really know if
Speaker 1: it's going to be you know, it was kind of
Speaker 1: curious about it. So when I write, when I wrote
Speaker 1: it's an episode of it to date the Wonderful Lisa mcewne,
Speaker 1: there was a scene where, you know, when we're writing,
Speaker 1: we go, you know, we'll kiss at the end, and
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I'm not sure if I'm ready,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I don't want to have that conversation
Speaker 1: with my wife. Like if you're an actor, you kind
Speaker 1: of like imagine you got kiss.
Speaker 3: On your to date. I kissed Shane. Shane was coming
Speaker 3: in the in the bin because I was pregnant.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Shane, And you know, if you like.
Speaker 4: Your mate, you don't want to like it was embarrassing too,
Speaker 4: like two mates, yes really And it was Valentine's and
Speaker 4: we're like, oh, it's just I feel like it's hard
Speaker 4: once you get married, it's really hard to do those
Speaker 4: scenes because anyway I spewed, he was like not impressed.
Speaker 1: I was like, kiss because you were pregnant. But do
Speaker 1: we know no?
Speaker 3: I was like really early, I think I told Shane.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, so Shane, you okay?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I said so I'm spewing and kissing you
Speaker 4: and he was just putting mints in my mouth.
Speaker 1: So that was so Shane had to kind of like
Speaker 1: people probably knew you were vomiting, and he had the
Speaker 1: with that knowing that people were watching you kiss him
Speaker 1: and then run around, but he knew.
Speaker 3: Why and everyone else like god, he must have beg
Speaker 3: it's hard. It's hard I find that stuff.
Speaker 1: So you would you still have to have a conversation,
Speaker 1: like not a conversation, but like, well let's call the
Speaker 1: conversation with your husband, look like and say I'm doing
Speaker 1: this scene or you're Stewart and come telling later.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I guess it depends on your own relationship,
Speaker 4: Like you know, we've got I respect him, So I
Speaker 4: wouldn't just go to work and make out with someone
Speaker 4: you know and not tell.
Speaker 1: Him because theres always that part of you goes, it's
Speaker 1: still making it, whether it's still making it art or whatever,
Speaker 1: it's still kind of making it.
Speaker 3: He knows that I'm not into actors, so he's cool.
Speaker 4: He's I've been years and like so many years together
Speaker 4: and he knows that actors aren't really my jam as
Speaker 4: far as like dating them. So more gamers, Yeah, more gamers,
Speaker 4: more like your music, that kind of thing. Like, So
Speaker 4: he's not threatened, but you're still like I wouldn't want
Speaker 4: him to go to work and like kiss someone and
Speaker 4: not mention it and then see the film like, oh sorry, babe,
Speaker 4: didn't mention that? Yeah that, but yeah, not I want
Speaker 4: asked you to get nude likeily post forty, So you
Speaker 4: know I'm right.
Speaker 1: Let's circle back to the Riot of Skywalker.
Speaker 3: Oh what a film.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: So did I.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've said it. I saw it twice and I
Speaker 1: want to say a third time before it leaves cinemas.
Speaker 1: What do you make of the noise around star Wars
Speaker 1: and the fan outrage and people not getting what they want?
Speaker 3: So I think it was something that big.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I didn't like the one, two, three,
Speaker 4: but then I think what they've done with these latest
Speaker 4: three films, they've sort of come back to the real
Speaker 4: Just the essence of Star Wars is something really vintage
Speaker 4: about it, and I think the performers are really great.
Speaker 4: Like I just think everyone in it is my kids.
Speaker 4: Wanted to go back to one, two, three, and I
Speaker 4: didn't find like the performance was very good. The young
Speaker 4: kid was a bit patchy and stuff. Where you go
Speaker 4: to these last three and.
Speaker 3: Everyone's just unreal and they've found these unknowns and just
Speaker 3: put them in these massive roles and they've shone.
Speaker 1: And what was amazing that the Force awakens was how
Speaker 1: quickly we loved Ray and Finn and Po and like,
Speaker 1: you know, ask Isaac. I think you know a lot
Speaker 1: of us knew, but John Bog and Daisy Ridley, we
Speaker 1: had no idea how one and.
Speaker 4: Just that beginning scene when like he's the stormtrooper with
Speaker 4: the heart, that's so cool. I really loved it. And
Speaker 4: I found like there's a romance that I was right.
Speaker 4: I was right into, Like that's.
Speaker 3: My kind of romance.
Speaker 4: Definitely, that really felt their relationship, really wanted them to
Speaker 4: be together. Yeah, so you know that's the notebook can learn.
Speaker 3: I was but that's kind of there's a passion. There
Speaker 3: was passion and intensity and chemistry between.
Speaker 1: Those absolutely, And the one thing I would I would
Speaker 1: agree with some people is I'm surprised the lack of
Speaker 1: maybe foresight as far as planning out these three films. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like being part of Disney and you know they own
Speaker 1: Marvel and seeing how Marvel an amazing job of doing
Speaker 1: these twenty or so films that kind of all come
Speaker 1: together in the end is amazing. I thought they would
Speaker 1: have had a plan for the three films. Obviously they didn't.
Speaker 1: Didn't and it shows a little bit. But with that said,
Speaker 1: I thought I thought The Riser Skywalker was so much fun.
Speaker 4: And I was happy for it to end on a
Speaker 4: good note, like I was glad that that was the
Speaker 4: last film that was a great one, rather than ending
Speaker 4: on it, you know, somebody you can end on it, don't.
Speaker 1: Really really some critics of being like using fan service,
Speaker 1: like it's a bad term, And I'll tell you he
Speaker 1: loves fan service exactly, And I didn't want Dan. I
Speaker 1: love seeing Wicket and the Ewoks, you know in that
Speaker 1: little scene. I love chew he got his medal.
Speaker 4: I think this the rejuvenation of Star Wars is really cool. Yes,
Speaker 4: you know, because it is like, I know you and
Speaker 4: your kids really enjoy it together. Something my kids and
Speaker 4: I bondo. It's sort of like Harry Potter as well,
Speaker 4: you know, where it's really cool. And I feel like
Speaker 4: they had that misstep where they made one, two and three,
Speaker 4: which unfortunately they made in Australia. Look, I auditioned for
Speaker 4: one of those roles and I didn't get it, So I'm.
Speaker 3: Not saying that I'm bitter. No, actually I'll give it
Speaker 3: was just another even more minor role. Yeah, which role
Speaker 3: was it?
Speaker 4: It was actually one of the handmaidens in the second thing,
Speaker 4: and Rose had been like, oh yeah, I did the
Speaker 4: first one.
Speaker 3: It was fun. I was like, I got this in
Speaker 3: the bag. My mate did it. Didn't get a call back.
Speaker 3: But that is not why I didn't like those films.
Speaker 4: I just didn't think they kind of cut it. But
Speaker 4: I'm glad they came back to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe they'd seen the tefish romance.
Speaker 4: And she's too hot, too hot, and distracted it to
Speaker 4: be like Natalie, who there's me looking at this weird Italian.
Speaker 3: Chick in the back.
Speaker 1: Miranda, it's been an absolute pleasure to chat to you
Speaker 1: about the notebook and other things. Particularly, I think the
Speaker 1: highlight the headline coming out of tonight.
Speaker 3: Is that you were not dead inside.
Speaker 1: Not dead inside, but also that you were first.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You find that scene, particularly the pavlover scene.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, there's a lot of gold. There's a lot
