1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: John Jarrett's movie What About Sale is going to be

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: in cinemas this Friday. That's only on the East coast.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: We are going to have to wait until May fourteen.

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: And now I'm disappointed because I already had it locked

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: away for the weekend. You saw me watching the trailer

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: before thirty seconds in. I was just a mess of goosebumps.

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: John Jarrett joins us, Now, good morning.

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: You sorry about that. Well, it's really hard to get

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: all the cinema's ready to rock and roll the same time.

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Never mind, we've got the decent seaboard pretty well shown up.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: But yes, I concentrated on them. Then I went to

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: Wa South Australia and they haven't got any openings to

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: well May fourteenth.

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: All right, Well it just builds the anticipation, does Yeah.

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: Yes, so it's a bit of an early one. But

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: folks out there brought it down May fourteenth.

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: So you don't forget the point is John this move?

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: He looks wonderful. Now. What about Sal is about a

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: man with Down syndrome who is about to lose his

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: mother to cancer, so he goes on a journey to

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: find his strange rock muso father. Enter mister John Jarrett.

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he finds me and I'm a drunk. He's

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: having a lot of disappointment and tell us about mum's

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: dying lung cancer from smoking. And he finds the old

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: man and he's a drunk. Yeah.

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Tell us about Jared O'Dwyer who plays Sal jaredo Jered.

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: Love that Jared O'Dwyer is one of the best actors

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: I've ever worked with, and not down syndrome make the

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: best one of the best actors I've ever worked with. Yes, Yes, extraordinary.

30
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: He won Best Actor in two thousand and nine at

31
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: trot Fest. You know, so he's been around and he's exceptional.

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: In he doesn't get the Best actorate nod, I'll be

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: very disappointed.

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: He holds John Jared angry.

35
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Don't make anger. It's an extraordinary performance, and he holds

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: the film. We don't think it down syndrome actors held

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: a film before. What I mean by that is usually

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: there's a partnership going on. Yes, but he's on his

39
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: own and he's on a mission, and he ends up

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: in Sydney City, living with a derelict and trying to

41
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: find his dad. It's an extraordinary journey and it's being

42
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: a box of tissues and it's kind of uplifting, happy ending.

43
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: But anyway, it's one of those wonderful domestic dramas, classic

44
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: classic Aussie indie film that we're very very good at.

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: If I didn't say so myself.

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you say he's one of your absolute

47
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: favorite actors for stop not you know, specifying down syndrome actors,

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: but the number of incredibly talented actors that come from

49
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: the down syndrome community is amazing.

50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: Well that's because they're emotionally more intelligent than.

51
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: Will ever be I suppose.

52
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, well.

53
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: Ninety eight percent happiness. They've got, you know, every reason

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: to be filmed. Sad occasionally, but they really they really

55
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: enjoy life. They embrace life, and they're very happy people.

56
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: New right for people you write you've gone full minder

57
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: on this, you've written it, you've directed it, and you've

58
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: started it. Is that is it hard to juggle?

59
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: The hardest thing is selling it right, Okay, the two

60
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: ends it's that I'm not overly fond of is getting

61
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: the money. But if that was easy ever, you want

62
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: to be doing it and then getting it out there,

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: you know, getting it out Offenheimer and Barbie and Elvis

64
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: and all these monster movies Hollywood people keep throwing out,

65
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: it's pretty hard to get a lovely little Ossie film

66
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: through all that. So that's the hard button that used

67
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: to be. But services the nineties, you know, when nineties

68
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: we had Shine, which you could probably parallel this movie with.

69
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: There's that kind of film. It's not a huge film.

70
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: All those films back in the nineties, Murials, Wedding and

71
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: all of those Priscilla made on a reasonable budget and

72
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: they couldn't wait to get an Aussie film out. But

73
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: now I'm telling it, it's really hard.

74
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Well, I thank you for fighting a good fight in

75
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: amongst all those ridiculous big blockbusters and you know, comic

76
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: book movies and stuff, because these are the movies that I,

77
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: for one love and I'm not alone spandex.

78
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: And you've been able to tire her before the next

79
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: round of summer blockbusters come out. So timing is really

80
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: everything with these, isn't it.

81
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: It is.

82
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: We couldn't put it out last year because everyone came

83
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: back to the cinemas in March and just everything was released.

84
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: You know, it would have been swamped. So it took

85
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: us to April to find a gap that wasn't too

86
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: full on, you know, so it's really difficult.

87
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: John, you play his rock musician father Tommy, who doesn't

88
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: mind a drink. Did any particular rock star did you

89
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: have to sort of do a bit of research. Was

90
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 3: there any particular rockstar that you modeled yourself on?

91
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: No, no, I just yeah, I was inspired by John

92
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: Jarrett and he's passed. I'm not a drunk anymore, but

93
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: I had an affair share in the seventies, you know,

94
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: different times and if I didn't get into Nider trying

95
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: to become a singer in a band, thinking all right,

96
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: I've seen pretty well.

97
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Right, So well I can tell you got into Nider

98
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: from the way you've pronounced one John after Nider. This

99
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: is a question that we love to ask people of

100
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: your year standing. Do you remember where you were when

101
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: you got the callback for your first very big role?

102
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: Might have been that what was that something McCarthy, the

103
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: one about the football?

104
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: Oh no, I had a callback. The most the most

105
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: memorable one, yes, is the callback for playing Ned Kelly

106
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: in the in the Last All Right Played miniseries. I

107
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: got Best Actor for it. In the day before you

108
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: were all born.

109
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: That's nicer for you, And it wasn't before I was surprised.

110
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: I'm usually older than anyone I'm talking to. But it

111
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: was a brilliant mini series. Yes, but with that property

112
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: name was between me and Mel Gibson. I think I

113
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: won it because it was the same height as Ned

114
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: and he wasn't. But that's the best callback I ever got,

115
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: because that's that's that's the best thing I've ever done.

116
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: You dine out on that for a while, beat Mel.

117
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: The people took a while. He wasn't famous then.

118
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: He was pretty good from the get guy he was.

119
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, we can't we have to. We

120
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: can't talk to you without saying the words Wolf Creek

121
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: and I don't do. And I imagine that that is

122
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: something that has become part of your life that people

123
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: have got to either you know, they quote a bit

124
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: at you, or they do the laugh or whatever. Are

125
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: you okay with that? Does it mean?

126
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, if they didn't think I'm not relevant anymore? And

127
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: we're going to do We're going to make Wolf Creek

128
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: free in Hope. At the end of in early twenty

129
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: five it fell over with COVID. We will go a

130
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: lot COVID killers. But we're going to try and do three,

131
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: four and five when we're chasing a package. Hopefully we'll

132
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: get it together.

133
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: Because there's still a lot of backpackers out there.

134
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: I heard it. Yeah, there's still a lot of people

135
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: to terrify, teach me sit.

136
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,840
