0:01:04.965 --> 0:01:08.085
<v Speaker 2>talking about it whatsoever it is. They went together. I

0:01:08.165 --> 0:01:09.765
<v Speaker 2>see that don't live at home anymore. They've got some

0:01:09.845 --> 0:01:12.285
<v Speaker 2>kind of different lives at university than nineteen and twenty one.

0:01:12.445 --> 0:01:13.845
<v Speaker 2>And so they're back home from a union at the moment.

0:01:13.885 --> 0:01:15.365
<v Speaker 2>It's lovely to have them back. They went to the

0:01:15.445 --> 0:01:18.365
<v Speaker 2>cinema together huge. Just seeing them drive off it made

0:01:18.405 --> 0:01:20.245
<v Speaker 2>me Momise so happy that they loved it.

0:01:20.285 --> 0:01:22.925
<v Speaker 4>And a beautiful, a beautiful undertone of the whole movie

0:01:22.925 --> 0:01:26.365
<v Speaker 4>as well about friendship, love, beautiful.

0:01:25.845 --> 0:01:28.485
<v Speaker 5>For two sisters to go to as well. I said,

0:01:28.565 --> 0:01:30.365
<v Speaker 5>relate a lot to it. Connection show.

0:01:30.405 --> 0:01:32.285
<v Speaker 2>It's really it really touched me. You know some movies

0:01:32.325 --> 0:01:34.565
<v Speaker 2>really they stay with us. Yes, you don't leave it

0:01:34.605 --> 0:01:36.805
<v Speaker 2>at the cinema. They keep talking about it, saying it

0:01:36.805 --> 0:01:38.365
<v Speaker 2>was a Now she said it was a work of art.

0:01:38.685 --> 0:01:40.405
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I'm going to go and see it this weekend.

0:01:40.445 --> 0:01:41.725
<v Speaker 1>All right, my recommendations.

0:01:41.765 --> 0:01:45.525
<v Speaker 2>Then there's a TV show that is I've never seen

0:01:45.645 --> 0:01:49.005
<v Speaker 2>action sequences like this in a TV show ever. Years ago,

0:01:49.045 --> 0:01:50.965
<v Speaker 2>there was a beautiful Jetly movie I think it won

0:01:50.965 --> 0:01:53.405
<v Speaker 2>a couple of Oscars called Hero. It's about twenty years

0:01:53.405 --> 0:01:57.205
<v Speaker 2>and in a cinematography and the action scenes were incredible,

0:01:57.325 --> 0:02:01.725
<v Speaker 2>very artistic. This Last Samurai Standing I watched because I thought, oh,

0:02:01.765 --> 0:02:04.645
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be like John Wicks set in Japan, and

0:02:04.885 --> 0:02:07.525
<v Speaker 2>when the Samurais were around, It's nothing like that. It's

0:02:07.965 --> 0:02:12.845
<v Speaker 2>like of the Last of Us. It's amazing. It's a

0:02:12.885 --> 0:02:16.365
<v Speaker 2>deeply moving, really emotional TV show and the action sequences.

0:02:16.405 --> 0:02:19.085
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a TV show like that. Right, movies, yes,

0:02:19.125 --> 0:02:21.245
<v Speaker 2>but not that it is. I keep rewinding bits of it.

0:02:21.245 --> 0:02:24.965
<v Speaker 2>It's beautiful. One hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes. I didn't

0:02:25.005 --> 0:02:27.085
<v Speaker 2>know it's based on a true story. I didn't know that.

0:02:27.085 --> 0:02:30.085
<v Speaker 2>Suddenly Samurais were around for hundreds of years. There was

0:02:30.125 --> 0:02:33.204
<v Speaker 2>such a respect to part society, and then America didn't

0:02:33.205 --> 0:02:35.685
<v Speaker 2>want to trade with Japan if it was feudal. So

0:02:35.725 --> 0:02:38.005
<v Speaker 2>they were the nudgement towards going are getting away with

0:02:38.045 --> 0:02:41.005
<v Speaker 2>the feudal system. They did, and then suddenly the Samurais

0:02:41.005 --> 0:02:43.805
<v Speaker 2>were outcast. They lost all their land, all their status.

0:02:43.805 --> 0:02:46.565
<v Speaker 2>They had to surrender their swords. Wow, I didn't know

0:02:46.725 --> 0:02:47.685
<v Speaker 2>this actually happened.

0:02:48.045 --> 0:02:50.925
<v Speaker 6>Like the heading in the Machine, there was an.

0:02:50.805 --> 0:02:55.165
<v Speaker 2>Act and suddenly they'd been revered for centuries and suddenly

0:02:55.245 --> 0:02:59.245
<v Speaker 2>they were homeless, penniless, And so this is about that.

0:02:59.445 --> 0:03:02.484
<v Speaker 2>But then mixes in squid game where someone says I'll

0:03:02.485 --> 0:03:05.365
<v Speaker 2>give a million all the Samuraizes, like two hundred of

0:03:05.405 --> 0:03:09.125
<v Speaker 2>them have to go and walk as separate Samurais killing

0:03:09.165 --> 0:03:13.365
<v Speaker 2>each other, this last Samurai standing. Wow, that's the best

0:03:13.365 --> 0:03:17.845
<v Speaker 2>part I've ever heard. This has been made for me,

0:03:18.645 --> 0:03:20.205
<v Speaker 2>if this is an algorithm, you know.

0:03:20.205 --> 0:03:23.765
<v Speaker 1>Me better than me. But they can partner up.

0:03:23.805 --> 0:03:26.605
<v Speaker 2>If six of them remain standing and are a team,

0:03:26.765 --> 0:03:27.885
<v Speaker 2>they can share the money.

0:03:28.245 --> 0:03:30.045
<v Speaker 1>So some of them are partner.

0:03:29.765 --> 0:03:32.165
<v Speaker 2>But can you really trust the other people in the

0:03:32.165 --> 0:03:35.125
<v Speaker 2>team because you could turn around and goop job and claim.

0:03:34.925 --> 0:03:35.485
<v Speaker 1>All their money.

0:03:35.645 --> 0:03:36.365
<v Speaker 5>Chop job job.

0:03:36.405 --> 0:03:37.645
<v Speaker 1>And that's the kind of sound effects she got on

0:03:37.685 --> 0:03:37.965
<v Speaker 1>the show.

0:03:38.245 --> 0:03:42.885
<v Speaker 2>Wow. The incredible action then is incredible. Cannot recommend enough.

0:03:42.885 --> 0:03:46.085
<v Speaker 2>It's on Netflix, Last Samurai Standing. That is my show

0:03:46.325 --> 0:03:46.885
<v Speaker 2>of the year.

0:03:47.365 --> 0:03:50.645
<v Speaker 3>The Christian O'Connell show podcast PEP.

0:03:50.645 --> 0:03:52.845
<v Speaker 2>We're doing our Friday recommendations. We call this s double

0:03:52.885 --> 0:03:53.845
<v Speaker 2>thumbs up, Patsy.

0:03:53.885 --> 0:03:54.605
<v Speaker 1>What are you enjoying?

0:03:54.685 --> 0:03:56.765
<v Speaker 5>Stranger Things? Series five?

0:03:56.885 --> 0:04:00.165
<v Speaker 4>So the first part this is just such a masterpiece.

0:04:00.205 --> 0:04:02.925
<v Speaker 4>How they have split it into three so.

0:04:02.845 --> 0:04:04.805
<v Speaker 1>The food was still going, isn't it. I know it's

0:04:04.805 --> 0:04:06.285
<v Speaker 1>the last season, but it's amazing.

0:04:06.445 --> 0:04:09.405
<v Speaker 4>So the first four episodes have dropped on Netflix. With

0:04:10.005 --> 0:04:14.285
<v Speaker 4>ripped through those, the next installment is I Believe is

0:04:14.285 --> 0:04:15.125
<v Speaker 4>it Christmas Eve?

0:04:15.685 --> 0:04:17.525
<v Speaker 5>And then All New Year's Eve is the.

0:04:19.325 --> 0:04:19.525
<v Speaker 1>Ever?

0:04:19.805 --> 0:04:22.445
<v Speaker 4>So there was nine EPs I think in the last series,

0:04:22.485 --> 0:04:24.325
<v Speaker 4>so I'm not sure how they're going to break it up,

0:04:24.365 --> 0:04:25.164
<v Speaker 4>but I can't wait.

0:04:25.284 --> 0:04:27.485
<v Speaker 2>That's not worry about the scheduling, shel we No, I'm

0:04:27.484 --> 0:04:29.924
<v Speaker 2>getting confused. I can air traffic controlers. So they're doing

0:04:29.924 --> 0:04:32.485
<v Speaker 2>the three on the fence carry over the nine.

0:04:32.645 --> 0:04:34.805
<v Speaker 4>But I think it's so clever of them to do that,

0:04:34.844 --> 0:04:37.244
<v Speaker 4>And I wonder if anyone else in future, you know,

0:04:37.364 --> 0:04:40.125
<v Speaker 4>series that come out do that, because it's almost makes

0:04:40.164 --> 0:04:43.685
<v Speaker 4>it even more sort of salivating over it because you know, Okay,

0:04:43.765 --> 0:04:45.525
<v Speaker 4>we've got this little lot and you have something to

0:04:45.525 --> 0:04:46.165
<v Speaker 4>look forward to.

0:04:46.085 --> 0:04:48.844
<v Speaker 2>You know, because now we just we just smashed the show. Yeah,

0:04:48.924 --> 0:04:50.645
<v Speaker 2>in two days. I did last summer, I say it,

0:04:50.645 --> 0:04:52.844
<v Speaker 2>and I miss it. Now I'm almost angering myself. What

0:04:52.844 --> 0:04:53.325
<v Speaker 2>do you do that for?

0:04:53.325 --> 0:04:57.245
<v Speaker 1>You feel sick a bit so much Samurai.

0:04:56.924 --> 0:04:59.325
<v Speaker 5>Action, but this is even scarier.

0:04:59.404 --> 0:05:03.484
<v Speaker 4>I reckon even Gooria, but not sort of gratuitously. So

0:05:04.125 --> 0:05:07.485
<v Speaker 4>it's it's brilliant and it's we loved it, Audrey, all

0:05:07.525 --> 0:05:07.924
<v Speaker 4>three of us.

0:05:08.005 --> 0:05:09.684
<v Speaker 5>It's one of those shows that all three.

0:05:09.484 --> 0:05:11.205
<v Speaker 2>Of us can we all watched as a family in

0:05:11.205 --> 0:05:13.525
<v Speaker 2>the earliest seasons. It got us through COVID actually, yeah,

0:05:13.604 --> 0:05:15.765
<v Speaker 2>because it's on during that. To me, I've got like

0:05:15.804 --> 0:05:23.844
<v Speaker 2>PTSD reminds locked down, I'm not watching a TV on

0:05:23.844 --> 0:05:25.445
<v Speaker 2>a Sunday to see what Dan's saying.

0:05:26.484 --> 0:05:30.484
<v Speaker 1>One person is ill and the kids, but how old

0:05:30.565 --> 0:05:31.005
<v Speaker 1>must they be?

0:05:31.085 --> 0:05:31.205
<v Speaker 7>Now?

0:05:31.284 --> 0:05:34.364
<v Speaker 1>They like they.

0:05:34.245 --> 0:05:36.005
<v Speaker 5>Are older and they do look.

0:05:35.844 --> 0:05:38.765
<v Speaker 1>Older many Bobby Brown's married.

0:05:38.685 --> 0:05:42.525
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the kid John bon Jovist, I know, and old

0:05:42.724 --> 0:05:43.364
<v Speaker 2>what's his name?

0:05:43.404 --> 0:05:45.404
<v Speaker 1>Papa did the ceremony.

0:05:46.565 --> 0:05:50.564
<v Speaker 4>But the creators, the Duffer Brothers, there's a beautiful side

0:05:50.604 --> 0:05:54.844
<v Speaker 4>story in that they have in this series created a

0:05:54.924 --> 0:05:59.364
<v Speaker 4>role based on their old drama teacher. Oh cool, missus Harris,

0:05:59.445 --> 0:06:03.884
<v Speaker 4>because it's like a tribute to her, because apparently she

0:06:04.325 --> 0:06:07.725
<v Speaker 4>was their main driver in following their dreams and they

0:06:07.724 --> 0:06:09.924
<v Speaker 4>were picked on a lot at school and she you know,

0:06:09.964 --> 0:06:15.525
<v Speaker 4>you've got that one teacher that you can confide.

0:06:12.364 --> 0:06:14.645
<v Speaker 5>In, champion teacher.

0:06:14.844 --> 0:06:19.205
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, she led them to quit their small town move

0:06:19.245 --> 0:06:22.085
<v Speaker 4>to LA and think maybe we've actually got a future

0:06:22.125 --> 0:06:25.245
<v Speaker 4>in screenwriting. So they've paid homage to her in this

0:06:25.885 --> 0:06:28.924
<v Speaker 4>it's an actor who plays a kindergarten teacher, but it's

0:06:28.964 --> 0:06:31.364
<v Speaker 4>based on their drama teacher, which I think is really

0:06:31.404 --> 0:06:34.725
<v Speaker 4>sweet aside from all the dimmer organs. But yeah, on

0:06:34.765 --> 0:06:37.125
<v Speaker 4>Netflix season five, it's brilliant.

0:06:37.284 --> 0:06:39.604
<v Speaker 1>Those biggest TV show now that is Stranger Things.

0:06:40.125 --> 0:06:42.925
<v Speaker 3>The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:06:43.404 --> 0:06:46.444
<v Speaker 2>We're doing double thumbs up our recommendations. Rea, what's yours

0:06:46.445 --> 0:06:46.765
<v Speaker 2>this week?

0:06:46.765 --> 0:06:48.404
<v Speaker 6>All right, I got a sexy one, I got a

0:06:48.445 --> 0:06:49.205
<v Speaker 6>nerdy one.

0:06:49.245 --> 0:06:50.405
<v Speaker 1>Wow, combine them.

0:06:52.005 --> 0:06:55.325
<v Speaker 6>I'll start with the sexy one. It's maybe my algorithm

0:06:55.404 --> 0:07:00.004
<v Speaker 6>is very different to your guys, but mine. This show

0:07:00.005 --> 0:07:03.084
<v Speaker 6>has been everywhere, so I finally gave in and watched it.

0:07:03.085 --> 0:07:07.684
<v Speaker 6>It's called Heated Rivalry on HBO Max. It is steamy.

0:07:07.804 --> 0:07:12.085
<v Speaker 6>It is about two professional ice hockey players who are rivals, enemies.

0:07:12.125 --> 0:07:15.565
<v Speaker 6>Imagine like Decos Patty Cribs. But they fall in love.

0:07:16.364 --> 0:07:21.245
<v Speaker 2>Than that, but they fall They have this sordid affair.

0:07:21.645 --> 0:07:25.205
<v Speaker 6>They fall in love and it is I mean, watch

0:07:25.245 --> 0:07:27.285
<v Speaker 6>the first episode within fifteen minutes.

0:07:27.725 --> 0:07:29.765
<v Speaker 1>Get the kids out of the room because it is.

0:07:30.364 --> 0:07:35.765
<v Speaker 1>It's a spicy taking those big gloves off. The gloves

0:07:35.765 --> 0:07:37.845
<v Speaker 1>are off very much. But it's brilliant.

0:07:37.885 --> 0:07:39.485
<v Speaker 6>It's actually very war It's got I don't know if

0:07:39.485 --> 0:07:41.485
<v Speaker 6>you guys have seen Heartbreaker before. It's got a little

0:07:41.485 --> 0:07:43.925
<v Speaker 6>bit of that heart and love. It's really really sweet.

0:07:44.885 --> 0:07:45.645
<v Speaker 1>Said Rivalry.

0:07:45.725 --> 0:07:47.445
<v Speaker 6>Yes, not one for the kids, but one for the

0:07:47.485 --> 0:07:50.365
<v Speaker 6>adults and one for the kids, one for smart kids

0:07:50.485 --> 0:07:54.804
<v Speaker 6>or dumb adults like me. It's called mirk Roper's crunch Labs.

0:07:55.045 --> 0:07:57.765
<v Speaker 6>He's a huge YouTuber and he's kind of like, I guess,

0:07:57.804 --> 0:08:01.045
<v Speaker 6>like a modern day myth Busters myth Busters sort of guy.

0:08:01.085 --> 0:08:04.125
<v Speaker 6>And he does all these awesome science experiments. I'm not

0:08:04.165 --> 0:08:07.004
<v Speaker 6>personally like a huge science person. I don't know much

0:08:07.045 --> 0:08:08.884
<v Speaker 6>about it.

0:08:09.325 --> 0:08:10.845
<v Speaker 1>The biggest nerd I know.

0:08:12.285 --> 0:08:12.645
