Speaker 2: me Momise so happy that they loved it.

00:01:20,285 --> 00:01:22,925
Speaker 4: And a beautiful, a beautiful undertone of the whole movie

Speaker 4: as well about friendship, love, beautiful.

27
00:01:25,845 --> 00:01:28,485
Speaker 5: For two sisters to go to as well. I said,

28
00:01:28,565 --> 00:01:30,365
Speaker 5: relate a lot to it. Connection show.

29
00:01:30,405 --> 00:01:32,285
Speaker 2: It's really it really touched me. You know some movies

30
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:34,565
Speaker 2: really they stay with us. Yes, you don't leave it

31
00:01:34,605 --> 00:01:36,805
Speaker 2: at the cinema. They keep talking about it, saying it

32
00:01:36,805 --> 00:01:38,365
Speaker 2: was a Now she said it was a work of art.

33
00:01:38,685 --> 00:01:40,405
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm going to go and see it this weekend.

34
00:01:40,445 --> 00:01:41,725
Speaker 1: All right, my recommendations.

35
00:01:41,765 --> 00:01:45,525
Speaker 2: Then there's a TV show that is I've never seen

36
00:01:45,645 --> 00:01:49,005
Speaker 2: action sequences like this in a TV show ever. Years ago,

37
00:01:49,045 --> 00:01:50,965
Speaker 2: there was a beautiful Jetly movie I think it won

38
00:01:50,965 --> 00:01:53,405
Speaker 2: a couple of Oscars called Hero. It's about twenty years

39
00:01:53,405 --> 00:01:57,205
Speaker 2: and in a cinematography and the action scenes were incredible,

40
00:01:57,325 --> 00:02:01,725
Speaker 2: very artistic. This Last Samurai Standing I watched because I thought, oh,

41
00:02:01,765 --> 00:02:04,645
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like John Wicks set in Japan, and

42
00:02:04,885 --> 00:02:07,525
Speaker 2: when the Samurais were around, It's nothing like that. It's

43
00:02:07,965 --> 00:02:12,845
Speaker 2: like of the Last of Us. It's amazing. It's a

44
00:02:12,885 --> 00:02:16,365
Speaker 2: deeply moving, really emotional TV show and the action sequences.

45
00:02:16,405 --> 00:02:19,085
Speaker 2: I've never seen a TV show like that. Right, movies, yes,

46
00:02:19,125 --> 00:02:21,245
Speaker 2: but not that it is. I keep rewinding bits of it.

47
00:02:21,245 --> 00:02:24,965
Speaker 2: It's beautiful. One hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes. I didn't

48
00:02:25,005 --> 00:02:27,085
Speaker 2: know it's based on a true story. I didn't know that.

49
00:02:27,085 --> 00:02:30,085
Speaker 2: Suddenly Samurais were around for hundreds of years. There was

50
00:02:30,125 --> 00:02:33,204
Speaker 2: such a respect to part society, and then America didn't

51
00:02:33,205 --> 00:02:35,685
Speaker 2: want to trade with Japan if it was feudal. So

52
00:02:35,725 --> 00:02:38,005
Speaker 2: they were the nudgement towards going are getting away with

53
00:02:38,045 --> 00:02:41,005
Speaker 2: the feudal system. They did, and then suddenly the Samurais

54
00:02:41,005 --> 00:02:43,805
Speaker 2: were outcast. They lost all their land, all their status.

55
00:02:43,805 --> 00:02:46,565
Speaker 2: They had to surrender their swords. Wow, I didn't know

56
00:02:46,725 --> 00:02:47,685
Speaker 2: this actually happened.

57
00:02:48,045 --> 00:02:50,925
Speaker 6: Like the heading in the Machine, there was an.

58
00:02:50,805 --> 00:02:55,165
Speaker 2: Act and suddenly they'd been revered for centuries and suddenly

59
00:02:55,245 --> 00:02:59,245
Speaker 2: they were homeless, penniless, And so this is about that.

60
00:02:59,445 --> 00:03:02,484
Speaker 2: But then mixes in squid game where someone says I'll

61
00:03:02,485 --> 00:03:05,365
Speaker 2: give a million all the Samuraizes, like two hundred of

62
00:03:05,405 --> 00:03:09,125
Speaker 2: them have to go and walk as separate Samurais killing

63
00:03:09,165 --> 00:03:13,365
Speaker 2: each other, this last Samurai standing. Wow, that's the best

64
00:03:13,365 --> 00:03:17,845
Speaker 2: part I've ever heard. This has been made for me,

65
00:03:18,645 --> 00:03:20,205
Speaker 2: if this is an algorithm, you know.

66
00:03:20,205 --> 00:03:23,765
Speaker 1: Me better than me. But they can partner up.

67
00:03:23,805 --> 00:03:26,605
Speaker 2: If six of them remain standing and are a team,

68
00:03:26,765 --> 00:03:27,885
Speaker 2: they can share the money.

69
00:03:28,245 --> 00:03:30,045
Speaker 1: So some of them are partner.

70
00:03:29,765 --> 00:03:32,165
Speaker 2: But can you really trust the other people in the

71
00:03:32,165 --> 00:03:35,125
Speaker 2: team because you could turn around and goop job and claim.

72
00:03:34,925 --> 00:03:35,485
Speaker 1: All their money.

73
00:03:35,645 --> 00:03:36,365
Speaker 5: Chop job job.

74
00:03:36,405 --> 00:03:37,645
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of sound effects she got on

75
00:03:37,685 --> 00:03:37,965
Speaker 1: the show.

76
00:03:38,245 --> 00:03:42,885
Speaker 2: Wow. The incredible action then is incredible. Cannot recommend enough.

77
00:03:42,885 --> 00:03:46,085
Speaker 2: It's on Netflix, Last Samurai Standing. That is my show

78
00:03:46,325 --> 00:03:46,885
Speaker 2: of the year.

79
00:03:47,365 --> 00:03:50,645
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast PEP.

80
00:03:50,645 --> 00:03:52,845
Speaker 2: We're doing our Friday recommendations. We call this s double

81
00:03:52,885 --> 00:03:53,845
Speaker 2: thumbs up, Patsy.

82
00:03:53,885 --> 00:03:54,605
Speaker 1: What are you enjoying?

83
00:03:54,685 --> 00:03:56,765
Speaker 5: Stranger Things? Series five?

84
00:03:56,885 --> 00:04:00,165
Speaker 4: So the first part this is just such a masterpiece.

85
00:04:00,205 --> 00:04:02,925
Speaker 4: How they have split it into three so.

86
00:04:02,845 --> 00:04:04,805
Speaker 1: The food was still going, isn't it. I know it's

87
00:04:04,805 --> 00:04:06,285
Speaker 1: the last season, but it's amazing.

88
00:04:06,445 --> 00:04:09,405
Speaker 4: So the first four episodes have dropped on Netflix. With

89
00:04:10,005 --> 00:04:14,285
Speaker 4: ripped through those, the next installment is I Believe is

90
00:04:14,285 --> 00:04:15,125
Speaker 4: it Christmas Eve?

91
00:04:15,685 --> 00:04:17,525
Speaker 5: And then All New Year's Eve is the.

92
00:04:19,325 --> 00:04:19,525
Speaker 1: Ever?

93
00:04:19,805 --> 00:04:22,445
Speaker 4: So there was nine EPs I think in the last series,

94
00:04:22,485 --> 00:04:24,325
Speaker 4: so I'm not sure how they're going to break it up,

95
00:04:24,365 --> 00:04:25,164
Speaker 4: but I can't wait.

96
00:04:25,284 --> 00:04:27,485
Speaker 2: That's not worry about the scheduling, shel we No, I'm

97
00:04:27,484 --> 00:04:29,924
Speaker 2: getting confused. I can air traffic controlers. So they're doing

98
00:04:29,924 --> 00:04:32,485
Speaker 2: the three on the fence carry over the nine.

99
00:04:32,645 --> 00:04:34,805
Speaker 4: But I think it's so clever of them to do that,

100
00:04:34,844 --> 00:04:37,244
Speaker 4: And I wonder if anyone else in future, you know,

101
00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:40,125
Speaker 4: series that come out do that, because it's almost makes

102
00:04:40,164 --> 00:04:43,685
Speaker 4: it even more sort of salivating over it because you know, Okay,

103
00:04:43,765 --> 00:04:45,525
Speaker 4: we've got this little lot and you have something to

104
00:04:45,525 --> 00:04:46,165
Speaker 4: look forward to.

105
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:48,844
Speaker 2: You know, because now we just we just smashed the show. Yeah,

106
00:04:48,924 --> 00:04:50,645
Speaker 2: in two days. I did last summer, I say it,

107
00:04:50,645 --> 00:04:52,844
Speaker 2: and I miss it. Now I'm almost angering myself. What

108
00:04:52,844 --> 00:04:53,325
Speaker 2: do you do that for?

109
00:04:53,325 --> 00:04:57,245
Speaker 1: You feel sick a bit so much Samurai.

110
00:04:56,924 --> 00:04:59,325
Speaker 5: Action, but this is even scarier.

111
00:04:59,404 --> 00:05:03,484
Speaker 4: I reckon even Gooria, but not sort of gratuitously. So

112
00:05:04,125 --> 00:05:07,485
Speaker 4: it's it's brilliant and it's we loved it, Audrey, all

113
00:05:07,525 --> 00:05:07,924
Speaker 4: three of us.

114
00:05:08,005 --> 00:05:09,684
Speaker 5: It's one of those shows that all three.

115
00:05:09,484 --> 00:05:11,205
Speaker 2: Of us can we all watched as a family in

116
00:05:11,205 --> 00:05:13,525
Speaker 2: the earliest seasons. It got us through COVID actually, yeah,

117
00:05:13,604 --> 00:05:15,765
Speaker 2: because it's on during that. To me, I've got like

118
00:05:15,804 --> 00:05:23,844
Speaker 2: PTSD reminds locked down, I'm not watching a TV on

119
00:05:23,844 --> 00:05:25,445
Speaker 2: a Sunday to see what Dan's saying.

120
00:05:26,484 --> 00:05:30,484
Speaker 1: One person is ill and the kids, but how old

121
00:05:30,565 --> 00:05:31,005
Speaker 1: must they be?

122
00:05:31,085 --> 00:05:31,205
Speaker 7: Now?

123
00:05:31,284 --> 00:05:34,364
Speaker 1: They like they.

124
00:05:34,245 --> 00:05:36,005
Speaker 5: Are older and they do look.

125
00:05:35,844 --> 00:05:38,765
Speaker 1: Older many Bobby Brown's married.

126
00:05:38,685 --> 00:05:42,525
Speaker 2: Yes, the kid John bon Jovist, I know, and old

127
00:05:42,724 --> 00:05:43,364
Speaker 2: what's his name?

128
00:05:43,404 --> 00:05:45,404
Speaker 1: Papa did the ceremony.

129
00:05:46,565 --> 00:05:50,564
Speaker 4: But the creators, the Duffer Brothers, there's a beautiful side

130
00:05:50,604 --> 00:05:54,844
Speaker 4: story in that they have in this series created a

131
00:05:54,924 --> 00:05:59,364
Speaker 4: role based on their old drama teacher. Oh cool, missus Harris,

132
00:05:59,445 --> 00:06:03,884
Speaker 4: because it's like a tribute to her, because apparently she

133
00:06:04,325 --> 00:06:07,725
Speaker 4: was their main driver in following their dreams and they

134
00:06:07,724 --> 00:06:09,924
Speaker 4: were picked on a lot at school and she you know,

135
00:06:09,964 --> 00:06:15,525
Speaker 4: you've got that one teacher that you can confide.

136
00:06:12,364 --> 00:06:14,645
Speaker 5: In, champion teacher.

137
00:06:14,844 --> 00:06:19,205
Speaker 4: Anyway, she led them to quit their small town move

138
00:06:19,245 --> 00:06:22,085
Speaker 4: to LA and think maybe we've actually got a future

139
00:06:22,125 --> 00:06:25,245
Speaker 4: in screenwriting. So they've paid homage to her in this

140
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:28,924
Speaker 4: it's an actor who plays a kindergarten teacher, but it's

141
00:06:28,964 --> 00:06:31,364
Speaker 4: based on their drama teacher, which I think is really

142
00:06:31,404 --> 00:06:34,725
Speaker 4: sweet aside from all the dimmer organs. But yeah, on

143
00:06:34,765 --> 00:06:37,125
Speaker 4: Netflix season five, it's brilliant.

144
00:06:37,284 --> 00:06:39,604
Speaker 1: Those biggest TV show now that is Stranger Things.
