Speaker 4: The thing that I can't or two things actually that

35
00:01:41,245 --> 00:01:42,765
Speaker 4: I can't stop thinking about.

36
00:01:42,845 --> 00:01:44,165
Speaker 5: One very recently.

37
00:01:43,805 --> 00:01:48,565
Speaker 4: Wicked for Good, which is just absolutely sensational, better than

38
00:01:48,565 --> 00:01:52,165
Speaker 4: the first movie, and just so much heart and all

39
00:01:52,205 --> 00:01:56,685
Speaker 4: about friendship and love and connection and it's just a

40
00:01:56,845 --> 00:01:59,605
Speaker 4: feast for the eyes on the screen and it's beautiful.

41
00:01:59,605 --> 00:02:01,045
Speaker 1: So would you put that over Frankenstein.

42
00:02:01,085 --> 00:02:02,725
Speaker 2: I know you're blown away by the kind of like,

43
00:02:02,845 --> 00:02:05,365
Speaker 2: you know, spectacle of Frankenstein, But look.

44
00:02:05,285 --> 00:02:09,204
Speaker 4: You know what I didn't find Frankenstein. And Joseph Lordie

45
00:02:09,285 --> 00:02:12,565
Speaker 4: has actually been nominated. I think it's for a golden

46
00:02:13,165 --> 00:02:17,085
Speaker 4: Golden Globe for his performance. But Wicked is Wicked for

47
00:02:17,165 --> 00:02:20,325
Speaker 4: Good is just there's something really special about it and

48
00:02:20,365 --> 00:02:22,845
Speaker 4: it's I think it's going to be a classic. It's

49
00:02:22,845 --> 00:02:26,125
Speaker 4: so beautiful. The script is amazing. A lot of people

50
00:02:26,125 --> 00:02:29,405
Speaker 4: will have already seen it, but if you haven't, going a.

51
00:02:29,365 --> 00:02:32,645
Speaker 2: Week Saturday with my two daughters who've already seen it together.

52
00:02:33,445 --> 00:02:36,205
Speaker 2: They went with each other about two weeks ago. They

53
00:02:36,205 --> 00:02:38,485
Speaker 2: were like, they watched the video clip if you're talking

54
00:02:38,485 --> 00:02:41,125
Speaker 2: about it. A couple of weeks ago on Instagram they

55
00:02:41,125 --> 00:02:43,285
Speaker 2: were saying, it's that dad. It's literally one of the

56
00:02:43,325 --> 00:02:44,405
Speaker 2: best movies ever made.

57
00:02:44,525 --> 00:02:46,085
Speaker 5: It is and it's going to be one of those.

58
00:02:46,245 --> 00:02:48,044
Speaker 1: So happy to go and see it again. That's taking

59
00:02:48,045 --> 00:02:49,644
Speaker 1: me to see it. We're going a week Saturday.

60
00:02:49,725 --> 00:02:51,565
Speaker 4: I love that and this is the sort of this

61
00:02:51,645 --> 00:02:54,045
Speaker 4: is what it's going to do. It's one of these

62
00:02:54,125 --> 00:02:57,405
Speaker 4: movies where you will want the special people in your

63
00:02:57,485 --> 00:02:59,685
Speaker 4: life to be watching it with you, and it's one

64
00:02:59,685 --> 00:03:02,325
Speaker 4: of those. It's like a warm blanket. Whenever you want

65
00:03:02,325 --> 00:03:06,085
Speaker 4: to feel, you know, cheered up or you will put

66
00:03:06,085 --> 00:03:09,125
Speaker 4: this movie on and it will just from your heart.

67
00:03:09,205 --> 00:03:09,845
Speaker 5: It's beautiful.

68
00:03:09,965 --> 00:03:12,285
Speaker 4: The other thing for me this year was Handmaid's Tale

69
00:03:12,365 --> 00:03:13,085
Speaker 4: season six.

70
00:03:13,645 --> 00:03:16,445
Speaker 1: It was that still good because I love watching that.

71
00:03:16,525 --> 00:03:18,885
Speaker 2: Right we got into about the third season, Pats, but

72
00:03:18,925 --> 00:03:22,445
Speaker 2: then it just coincided with a dystopian time here in Melbourne.

73
00:03:22,645 --> 00:03:24,645
Speaker 2: You're not going to talk about Lockdown. It was a

74
00:03:24,765 --> 00:03:27,685
Speaker 2: very or any more dystopian things.

75
00:03:27,805 --> 00:03:31,405
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was no more space in your brain, but.

76
00:03:31,325 --> 00:03:33,685
Speaker 2: Only not because it wasn't brilliant how much how one

77
00:03:33,685 --> 00:03:35,365
Speaker 2: of the best TV shows ever, But.

78
00:03:35,525 --> 00:03:37,405
Speaker 4: Do you want it to be uplifted at that time,

79
00:03:37,685 --> 00:03:41,285
Speaker 4: especially when you confined to your house with your family

80
00:03:41,485 --> 00:03:42,045
Speaker 4: all day.

81
00:03:42,485 --> 00:03:44,165
Speaker 5: But no, this is brilliant.

82
00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:46,845
Speaker 4: It's I would recommend like if you've read the books,

83
00:03:46,885 --> 00:03:50,885
Speaker 4: definitely Margaret Atward's books, you know you'll be right across this,

84
00:03:51,285 --> 00:03:54,085
Speaker 4: But especially if you're like a mum where you've got

85
00:03:54,325 --> 00:03:58,125
Speaker 4: very rarely the house to yourself for like a few

86
00:03:58,125 --> 00:04:01,165
Speaker 4: hours and you just want to escape. It is so

87
00:04:01,485 --> 00:04:06,965
Speaker 4: beautifully made and Elizabeth Moss is so incredible in this.

88
00:04:07,485 --> 00:04:11,125
Speaker 4: And then they're also in production with The Testaments, because

89
00:04:11,245 --> 00:04:12,885
Speaker 4: you know, it's one of those series when you have

90
00:04:12,965 --> 00:04:15,365
Speaker 4: a favorite thing you and Alex had know what it's like,

91
00:04:15,445 --> 00:04:17,925
Speaker 4: where you just there's a thirst for more and it's like, oh,

92
00:04:17,964 --> 00:04:20,805
Speaker 4: I wish it wasn't the final one. So knowing that

93
00:04:20,925 --> 00:04:24,164
Speaker 4: another you know, whole new series is in production a

94
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:26,564
Speaker 4: few years down the track from where it left off.

95
00:04:26,645 --> 00:04:29,404
Speaker 4: It just all the pieces were tied up and it

96
00:04:29,484 --> 00:04:32,364
Speaker 4: was Yeah, it was so powerful. I loved every single

97
00:04:32,445 --> 00:04:33,124
Speaker 4: season of it.

98
00:04:33,245 --> 00:04:33,685
Speaker 1: Brilliant.

Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell Show, Oh Hells Alive. More later on

102
00:04:45,005 --> 00:04:47,364
Speaker 3: the iHeart Radio Christian.

103
00:04:47,404 --> 00:04:49,484
Speaker 2: One of the best shows I've watched this year. This

104
00:04:49,565 --> 00:04:51,724
Speaker 2: comes from Sarah Morning, Sarah Christian. All the best shows

105
00:04:51,765 --> 00:04:55,964
Speaker 2: I've loved this year was The Paper I saw. I

106
00:04:56,005 --> 00:04:58,684
Speaker 2: saw that on stand. Ricky Gervais is a producer. It's brilliant,

107
00:04:58,804 --> 00:05:02,124
Speaker 2: very very clever. Really enjoyed that as well, Sarah. Thank

108
00:05:02,125 --> 00:05:04,724
Speaker 2: you for your recommendations. All Right, it's our last double

00:05:04,765 --> 00:05:06,724
Speaker 2: thumbs up of the year, the things that we've really

110
00:05:06,804 --> 00:05:11,085
Speaker 2: enjoyed twenty twenty five, So, Patsy wicked wass.

111
00:05:11,125 --> 00:05:14,325
Speaker 1: Movie of the Year for me Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere. Yes,

112
00:05:14,364 --> 00:05:17,445
Speaker 1: I'm biased. I'm big Springsteen fan. I'd be honest.

113
00:05:17,844 --> 00:05:19,844
Speaker 2: Maybe that does make me a bit wonky eye, just

114
00:05:19,885 --> 00:05:22,645
Speaker 2: a tiny bit, and it's just on the side, But

115
00:05:22,804 --> 00:05:26,125
Speaker 2: I love that movie. I really really loved it so much.

116
00:05:26,685 --> 00:05:29,085
Speaker 2: Deliver Me from Nowhere in my Movie of the Year podcast,

117
00:05:29,205 --> 00:05:30,964
Speaker 2: my favorite podcast of the year. This is a strange

118
00:05:31,005 --> 00:05:33,245
Speaker 2: one for me, but I really want to just talk

119
00:05:33,245 --> 00:05:35,924
Speaker 2: about how great it was. Really well made, a very

120
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:40,484
Speaker 2: human voice in journalism, and it's a rival broadcasting organization,

121
00:05:41,005 --> 00:05:44,884
Speaker 2: and it's an ABC podcast, and it was The Mushroom Daily.

122
00:05:45,284 --> 00:05:47,205
Speaker 2: It was everything that was going on day by day,

123
00:05:47,245 --> 00:05:51,445
Speaker 2: twenty minute episodes during an incredible trial. The captivated not

124
00:05:51,565 --> 00:05:54,044
Speaker 2: just this city in Australia but the world, but the

125
00:05:54,085 --> 00:05:58,045
Speaker 2: trial of Aaron Patterson's called The Mushroom Daily. Not sensationalists,

126
00:05:58,164 --> 00:06:02,164
Speaker 2: just very human journalism. I thought it was pretty, absolutely brilliant.

127
00:06:02,205 --> 00:06:04,085
Speaker 2: The whole family watched it with swap notes on it.

128
00:06:04,085 --> 00:06:06,645
Speaker 2: It's very very good Mushroom Daily. You can still listen

129
00:06:06,685 --> 00:06:10,044
Speaker 2: again to it. Favorite TV shows far from me. I

130
00:06:10,085 --> 00:06:12,844
Speaker 2: loved all of these in no order. Task, the Studio,

131
00:06:13,205 --> 00:06:16,884
Speaker 2: the Pit, and adolescents. If you have kids, no matter

132
00:06:16,885 --> 00:06:18,964
Speaker 2: what age they are, whether you're a new parent or

133
00:06:19,005 --> 00:06:22,325
Speaker 2: you've got teenagers or nineteen year olds, twenty year olds.

134
00:06:22,404 --> 00:06:25,284
Speaker 1: It is essential you watch adolescents.

135
00:06:25,484 --> 00:06:27,685
Speaker 2: You cannot say you're a parent if you don't care

136
00:06:27,685 --> 00:06:29,244
Speaker 2: about the kids and the world they're in, not the

137
00:06:29,245 --> 00:06:31,205
Speaker 2: world we are in, the world that they are in

138
00:06:31,245 --> 00:06:34,005
Speaker 2: and growing into if you don't watch adolescents, it is

139
00:06:34,044 --> 00:06:36,045
Speaker 2: more important than any book you read on parenting and

140
00:06:36,085 --> 00:06:38,844
Speaker 2: how they getting them into sleep habits and changing their nappies.

141
00:06:39,125 --> 00:06:41,484
Speaker 2: That is about the world that we are growing them into.

142
00:06:41,604 --> 00:06:44,444
Speaker 2: We don't know enough about it. I wish that this

143
00:06:44,565 --> 00:06:46,845
Speaker 2: TV show I've been around ten years ago. I think

144
00:06:46,885 --> 00:06:49,445
Speaker 2: I would have been a better parent. But anyway, adolescents

145
00:06:49,645 --> 00:06:52,004
Speaker 2: very very good. I love reading books. These are three

146
00:06:52,005 --> 00:06:55,125
Speaker 2: books I picked. I read a lot of books. These

147
00:06:55,125 --> 00:06:56,765
Speaker 2: are three books I've loved this year. These are three

148
00:06:56,765 --> 00:06:57,845
Speaker 2: books I've recommended.

149
00:06:58,044 --> 00:06:58,404
Speaker 1: Some of them.

150
00:06:58,404 --> 00:07:00,244
Speaker 2: I've actually bought copies of friends who don't like to

151
00:07:00,284 --> 00:07:02,325
Speaker 2: read that much, and they love them. So I just

152
00:07:02,364 --> 00:07:04,525
Speaker 2: want to recommend books that I think you would really enjoy,

153
00:07:04,844 --> 00:07:06,525
Speaker 2: even if you don't read tons of books, like a

154
00:07:06,565 --> 00:07:09,245
Speaker 2: book nerd like me. First of all, book called great

155
00:07:09,245 --> 00:07:13,485
Speaker 2: title this one. I can easily describe this if a

156
00:07:13,645 --> 00:07:17,765
Speaker 2: nonna was Tony Soprano. This is a story. One of

157
00:07:17,765 --> 00:07:20,525
Speaker 2: her kids dies, she's a honor, she goes on the revenge.

Speaker 2: the unedited version of it and it had eleven times

227
00:10:20,045 --> 00:10:25,125

228
00:10:25,125 --> 00:10:27,285
Speaker 2: middle of the school run to all of London.

229
00:10:28,605 --> 00:10:30,645
Speaker 1: My radio career was only four years old, and I

00:10:31,765 --> 00:10:34,845
Speaker 2: Told them, we told them not to do this and

232
00:10:34,925 --> 00:10:36,965
Speaker 2: if you know The Darkness, they won't listened to that,

233
00:10:37,005 --> 00:10:37,765
Speaker 2: nor should they.

234
00:10:37,925 --> 00:10:39,165

237
00:10:42,365 --> 00:10:44,845
Speaker 2: single listener about then, quite this small show. I don't

238
00:10:44,885 --> 00:10:46,685
Speaker 2: know which was more true, with the lack of listeners

239
00:10:46,925 --> 00:10:49,405
Speaker 2: or the lack of complaints, But anyway.

240
00:10:49,045 --> 00:10:50,165
Speaker 1: Glad you enjoy The Darkness.

241
00:10:50,204 --> 00:10:53,045
Speaker 2: They're a great band and he's a great follow on

242
00:10:53,485 --> 00:10:56,124
Speaker 2: Instagram as well. It does a brilliant series where he

243
00:10:56,564 --> 00:10:59,045
Speaker 2: talks about his favorite pop songs can be anything from

244
00:10:59,084 --> 00:11:01,765
Speaker 2: Gaga to The Stones and how they're put together. It's

245
00:11:01,804 --> 00:11:04,085

Speaker 2: Justin on Instagram. All right, Alex, what have you love

247
00:11:07,365 --> 00:11:07,765
Speaker 2: this year?

248
00:11:07,845 --> 00:11:09,964
Speaker 6: Well, just before we get to that. The Darkness they

249
00:11:10,005 --> 00:11:12,124
Speaker 6: are an incredible band. I saw them in Perth a

250
00:11:12,245 --> 00:11:14,165
Speaker 6: number of years ago and they did the best rendition

251
00:11:14,245 --> 00:11:16,684
Speaker 6: of ac DC's Back in Black that I think of.

252
00:11:16,845 --> 00:11:19,645
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what a tree. When bands do a good

253
00:11:19,684 --> 00:11:22,604
Speaker 1: cover version, it was so so good. But my pix.

254
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:25,365
Speaker 6: So I have two crime dramas that have stayed with

255
00:11:25,444 --> 00:11:27,925
Speaker 6: me my entire life. The first one is The Wire,

256
00:11:28,444 --> 00:11:31,525
Speaker 6: that's an American one. It was an incredible show, incredible show.

257
00:11:31,605 --> 00:11:35,245
Speaker 6: Closely followed by that is a show called Kin It's

258
00:11:35,324 --> 00:11:38,885
Speaker 6: about an Irish crime family. It's on SBS on demand

259
00:11:39,444 --> 00:11:42,285
Speaker 6: and I think about it often. It just rocks you

260
00:11:42,564 --> 00:11:44,485
Speaker 6: to your core. So you put it up there with

261
00:11:44,485 --> 00:11:45,205
Speaker 6: the wy The Why.

262
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:47,205
Speaker 2: I would say that's in my top five greatst TV

263
00:11:47,245 --> 00:11:49,205
Speaker 2: shows ever long on the Sopranos.

264
00:11:48,605 --> 00:11:52,125
Speaker 6: Definitely, it's just below the Wire for mine. Wow, because

265
00:11:52,204 --> 00:11:53,765
Speaker 6: I think I spent a bit of time in Ireland.

266
00:11:53,804 --> 00:11:55,445
Speaker 6: So I lived in Ireland just after I left school,

267
00:11:55,845 --> 00:11:59,125
Speaker 6: and I guess there's this fascination there with these crime gangs.

268
00:11:59,125 --> 00:12:01,045
Speaker 6: There's a kind of hand crime gang that I think

269
00:12:01,285 --> 00:12:02,564
Speaker 6: this show is loosely based on.

270
00:12:03,084 --> 00:12:05,204
Speaker 2: And I thought, you meant this show is Lucy based.

271
00:12:06,925 --> 00:12:11,564
Speaker 2: You look in a pass then I hear, yeah.

272
00:12:11,245 --> 00:12:14,564
Speaker 6: So it's it's a brilliant It's got Ad Gillen, a

273
00:12:15,084 --> 00:12:17,844
Speaker 6: little finger from the Game of Thrones. You might have

274
00:12:17,925 --> 00:12:20,725
Speaker 6: seen him around Kieren Hines. He starred in a couple

275
00:12:20,725 --> 00:12:22,324
Speaker 6: of Australian dramas.

276
00:12:21,845 --> 00:12:23,884
Speaker 1: Also in Gamer, also in Game of Thrones.

277
00:12:23,605 --> 00:12:26,005
Speaker 6: Game of Thrones as well. So it's just fantastic and

278
00:12:26,005 --> 00:12:28,005
Speaker 6: it's ten us around the death of one of the

279
00:12:28,324 --> 00:12:34,565
Speaker 6: crime family sons and this revenge and this absolute I
