Well, hello there, it's time
for another monkey see, monkey review podcast.
2
00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:20.550
If you've not listened to monkey see, monkey review before, you're very
3
00:00:20.589 --> 00:00:24.019
welcome coming in. Set yourself down. If you've listened to us before and
4
00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:27.300
you're a long time, long time
listener, then you're welcome as always.
5
00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:30.940
You know the drill, you know
what to expect. I'm Scott and joined
6
00:00:31.059 --> 00:00:34.460
each time out by one or more
members of the monkey see family to talk
7
00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:38.570
about what we've been watching, including
some of the recent releases, things flowing
8
00:00:38.570 --> 00:00:42.530
under the radar and some all time
classics. We also talk about the ever
9
00:00:42.609 --> 00:00:46.890
shifting landscape of film and, on
occasions, defend maligned, overlooked up,
10
00:00:47.009 --> 00:00:52.799
under appreciated movies, as well as
our regular pitch battles and the always expanding
11
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.119
trucks of the trade movie score playlist. So this time out I am joined
12
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.359
by two of the wonderful gentlemen that
are regulars on this show. Firstly,
13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.390
it's the guy behind the guy,
behind the guy. It's Mr Kevin Haney.
14
00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:14.030
Hello, they're brilliant. Love that
the guy stick hide the guy indeed,
15
00:01:15.069 --> 00:01:17.790
and also down the other end of
the phone, you're my boy,
16
00:01:17.870 --> 00:01:23.659
blue. It's Mr Craig Woodfield.
Hello there, thank you very much.
17
00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:26.099
I love the intro. I'll keep
that. If that's that's a way,
18
00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:29.980
if you could do that for the
next few times you come on, that's
19
00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:32.739
one. You are you are most
welcome. I might even mix it up
20
00:01:32.739 --> 00:01:37.010
in the future as well. So
we are missing Mr Christopher commander. He
21
00:01:37.329 --> 00:01:42.530
is off being a barred in a
yard and if you are if you are
22
00:01:42.609 --> 00:01:45.329
wanted to support what he's up to, if you search a bard in the
23
00:01:45.370 --> 00:01:48.840
art on Instagram, you'll be able
to find out what he's up to.
24
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:49.840
I could look to you, Chris, I'm sure. I hope you've been
25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.280
listening to this. Soon care if
you were about to say something I was.
26
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.439
I was about to say that people
should chim off in the comments to
27
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.120
see if they could get the references
that you just put forward. there.
28
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.189
Definitely for the introduction. Yes,
the guy behind the guy and my boy
29
00:02:01.269 --> 00:02:06.349
blue, absolutely yes. If you
if you know what films they're from,
30
00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:08.909
and if you know Craig and if
you know Kev, it probably mon be
31
00:02:08.909 --> 00:02:13.789
a massive surprise which films they are. But yeah, so I thought I'd
32
00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:15.900
mix it up a little bit this
week. So how are you both,
33
00:02:15.979 --> 00:02:20.939
gentlemen? Are You well? Yeah, I'm feeling good. The weather is
34
00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:28.539
at the moment it's cloudy at best
and completely sort of flooding at worst.
35
00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:31.729
Flooding. Is that a type of
work? It's what he's just started being
36
00:02:31.729 --> 00:02:34.930
a tide at the moment that say, yeah, I'm doing good doing it.
37
00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:38.969
How are you both? Yeah,
I'm very well. I'm being in
38
00:02:39.129 --> 00:02:43.250
Northern Ireland, I'm a week behind
everybody else, so, you know,
39
00:02:43.969 --> 00:02:46.520
kind of anticipating things opening up a
little bit more and, you know,
40
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.560
being able to get back to watch
watching movies the way they should be watched
41
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.639
and so on. But other than
that, you know, I'm altickularly bood
42
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.000
fantastic. And Craig makes a very
good point there, because the day that
43
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.270
we are recalling warding this is a
bit of a monumental day in in England,
44
00:03:01.310 --> 00:03:07.110
particularly because we're recording this on Monday, the seventeen of May. Episode
45
00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:09.550
will be out slightly later from the
week and today is the day that we've
46
00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:14.860
been waiting for. It's the day
that we welcome cinemas back, as well
47
00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:15.900
as a lot of other things.
You know, we we can now hug
48
00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:23.099
people. If you're, you know, inclined to yeah, we're now allowed
49
00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:27.770
to go back to the cinemas,
which is really, really exciting. I'm
50
00:03:28.009 --> 00:03:30.250
still going to be a little bit, a little bit hanging back on that
51
00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:35.330
one see how everything goes to statistically
because, as I've said on the podcast
52
00:03:35.370 --> 00:03:38.969
before, I have people at home
that I'm sort of shielding and protecting and
53
00:03:38.169 --> 00:03:42.879
making sure that they're obviously comfortable and
happy. But it just feels a little
54
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.680
bit more optimistic at the moment because, you know, we have vaccines,
55
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.639
we're all over the age of forty, so we've all had our first jobs.
56
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.280
We yet. Sorry, I've just
aged us all there. I'T I
57
00:03:54.710 --> 00:03:57.949
so, but there's just this the
yeah, a little bit more of a
58
00:03:58.229 --> 00:04:02.990
feeling of optimism. You know,
the new variant aside, which is obviously
59
00:04:03.030 --> 00:04:06.990
cause for concern, and

hopefully the
will be too disrupted by that. But
60
00:04:08.870 --> 00:04:13.180
but I believe one of our fair
number has actually managed to get back to
61
00:04:13.219 --> 00:04:15.939
see a film at the cinema today. I did. It was me,
62
00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:17.699
Kevin. Yes, I went back
to the cinema to day to see the
63
00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:21.379
first showing in this particular cinema.
So some of the cinema chains, the
64
00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:26.329
major chains, Odion view, they've
opened already. Cindy world slightly behind.
65
00:04:26.370 --> 00:04:28.449
They're going to be opening a little
bit late, are in the week.
66
00:04:28.850 --> 00:04:30.769
And then you got some independent cinemas
like the Prince Charles in London as well,
67
00:04:30.810 --> 00:04:33.209
but obviously I'm London based. They're
all opening. So I went in
68
00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:36.449
court a film of view, which
was good, and it was good to
69
00:04:36.490 --> 00:04:39.920
be back to the cinema. I
booked an advance. They're still doing the
70
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.360
space in thing, as I so
when you book your seat, the two
71
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.720
seats either side of you kind of
like space out and then when you go
72
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.680
in you got to dicult the hand
sanitize, you got scan the trace and
73
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.670
track APP and all of that kind
of stuff. So I would say that
74
00:04:53.750 --> 00:04:59.029
the cinema kind of like hygiene and
and kind of like covid secure elements of
75
00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:00.910
it are as good as they were
when we came out of the lockdown for
76
00:05:00.949 --> 00:05:04.910
a brief period last summer. This
is actually the longest time I've ever been
77
00:05:04.910 --> 00:05:08.620
in my entire life where I haven't
actually been back to the cinema, so
78
00:05:08.899 --> 00:05:11.620
this was really good. The last
film I think I saw, also of
79
00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:15.860
you, was the the craft.
The craft legacy. Is that was is
80
00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:18.500
that what it was? Called yes
row. Yeah, so I saw lad
81
00:05:18.579 --> 00:05:23.569
sequel and then return to the the
same screen to watch spiral from the book
82
00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:26.250
of saw today, which was good. So it's it was. Yeah,
83
00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:28.290
it was. It was good to
be back in the cinema. It was
84
00:05:28.329 --> 00:05:30.370
busier than I thought it would be, but just yet did literally kind of
85
00:05:30.410 --> 00:05:34.050
being in the room that was kind
of, you know, big, dark,
86
00:05:34.089 --> 00:05:38.639
nice sound system, watching a big
screen. It was good, though
87
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.360
it was a it was a bit
kind of like it felt like gone back
88
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.360
in time a little bit because the
trailers I was still seeing were quite placed
89
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.519
part two and all of that kind
of Ja.
They're thinking, this is
90
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.790
really weird. It feels like a
kind of it's a bit of an odd
91
00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:55.230
experience when you go back and watch
films in the cinema and you see in
92
00:05:55.269 --> 00:05:58.550
these kind of like adverts and trailers
and things. Actually, as I walked
93
00:05:58.589 --> 00:06:01.949
in they had a big display for
Emma and it said in cinemas this Valentine's
94
00:06:01.949 --> 00:06:05.899
Day and I was like my God. They say they've still got that on
95
00:06:06.019 --> 00:06:09.139
display and it's probably been up for
over a year. In fact, when
96
00:06:09.139 --> 00:06:11.579
they probably take it out of the
frame it will probably be kind of like
97
00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:15.379
burned in if yeah, see the
image there, but yeah, it's weird.
98
00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:17.060
So cinemas at the moment, I've
doing their best, I think,
99
00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:21.610
to try and reopen, but also
as well, they're still stuck in a
100
00:06:21.689 --> 00:06:25.810
year ago. It still feels very
much like it did a year ago if
101
00:06:25.810 --> 00:06:30.410
you're actually in the cinemas and the
films that they're showing. Obviously spiral from
102
00:06:30.410 --> 00:06:32.360
the book of Saul was is a
new release. They've got a couple of
103
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.439
other new releases as well, but
then there are things King Kong or colon
104
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.680
and Godzilla and all that are kind
of like that. They're showing some stuff
105
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.680
that you may have seen at the
moment as well as rereleases of total recall.
106
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.709
Gladiator will showing there and it just
like lots of kind of like the
107
00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:53.790
older films as well. So hats
off to anyone that's actually released new releases,
108
00:06:53.829 --> 00:06:56.430
but I think they'll probably be what
we have for the time being.
109
00:06:57.310 --> 00:07:00.470
So don't be in any kind of
rush to get back because it's not like
110
00:07:00.589 --> 00:07:02.180
the films are going to be released
at a rate. I've got a feeling
111
00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:05.259
that the films that are basically playing
in the cinemas for the next couple of
112
00:07:05.339 --> 00:07:08.259
weeks. are going to be there
for the next couple of weeks, so
113
00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:12.779
there's no rush to take our time. Yeah, that's it. I there's
114
00:07:12.819 --> 00:07:15.569
a bit of a splurge with new
releases coming up because, as you say,
115
00:07:15.689 --> 00:07:21.009
Godzilla versus Kong, they will be
releasing the new conjuring film in a
116
00:07:21.129 --> 00:07:26.689
week or so. Those that wish
me dad the engineers Jolie action through rather.
117
00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:30.319
That's that's now out, although it's
been on premium rental as well.
118
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.199
As got Godzilla and versus Kong.
There are some cinemas that are also showing
119
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.199
what will combat as well. Yeah, Judas and land the sire. That's
120
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.480
that's juice in the black messigs also
getting screened, as is in some of
121
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.829
the smaller cinemas. They're also shown
Manari and sound of metal and no madland
122
00:07:47.470 --> 00:07:51.029
and no madland. So I mean
there's there is plenty of choice out there.
123
00:07:51.029 --> 00:07:56.589
And Peter Rabbit to yes, if
you have foot if you have younglings
124
00:07:57.110 --> 00:08:01.500
and are reform mind to go and
watch that. So there's there's plenty out
125
00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:05.459
there. I certainly. I mean
there's none of the kind of the real
126
00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:09.579
ta releases just yet. I think
that's going to be the beginning of June
127
00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:13.410
with quite a place part. So
I think I was going to be the
128
00:08:13.490 --> 00:08:16.089
first city, a pinch one.
I've been looking forward to spiral for a
129
00:08:16.170 --> 00:08:18.850
while and it was one of those
films I was actually looking forward to going
130
00:08:18.889 --> 00:08:20.410
to see at the time, and
it's very weird when I was watching it
131
00:08:20.449 --> 00:08:22.129
and I was going, Oh my
God, yeah, I remember that from
132
00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:26.490
the trailer that I saw nearly two
years ago now, and it's it's kind
133
00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:28.759
of really weird. At the end
you kind of like see the things come
134
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.959
up and it's like two thousand and
twenty in you're like, Oh wow,
135
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.240
you know, this should have been
and gone ages ago. Now would be
136
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.320
a distant memory. Yeah, but
it's there now and it's kind of it.
137
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.120
It's very weird because I was very
aware of this when I came back
138
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.389
from cinema last time I watched unhinged. That was my first film back after
139
00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:45.029
first lockdown, and I remember thinking, Wow, look at this, this
140
00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:48.149
is a film that was made before
the world was turned upside down, and
141
00:08:48.230 --> 00:08:50.789
it's kind any very much the case
with this as well. It's very odd
142
00:08:50.830 --> 00:08:52.429
to sort of look at these going, I wonder what they were thinking at
143
00:08:52.470 --> 00:08:54.899
the time when this was going on. Obviously that may be shows that I
144
00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:58.259
wasn't paying too much attention to what's
going on in the film. Or will
145
00:08:58.299 --> 00:09:01.740
review spiral in just a moment.
But yeah, you're looking at any thinking
146
00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:03.419
wow, man, it's like you
know, you you doing your acting,
147
00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:07.259
doing you thing. Got No idea
that you know
this film won't see the
148
00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:11.850
light of day until post that.
You know one of the you know pandemic,
149
00:09:11.929 --> 00:09:15.049
you know absolutely. I mean just
think of that, the films that
150
00:09:15.129 --> 00:09:18.929
actually kind of exist in a complete
form that we've we've yet to see.
151
00:09:20.049 --> 00:09:24.919
That should have been released last year. So there is a full completed cup
152
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:30.039
of ghostbusters afterlife somewhere, because I
remember sit were a bit reading something that
153
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.080
Ivan Ryman's seen it, watch it
with his son Jason, who wrote and
154
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.470
directed it, and Ivan was suitably
emotionally impressed with it. So the fact
155
00:09:41.470 --> 00:09:46.830
that exists top of maverick should have
been with us by now and that you
156
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:52.149
know these films are in a vault
somewhere or on a hard drive somewhere in
157
00:09:52.269 --> 00:09:56.700
a completed form and they're just waiting
to be to be released into the world,
158
00:09:58.139 --> 00:10:00.580
even because I think, I think
some like June yeah, I think
159
00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:03.980
we're going to get this weird thing
because it's something like like with like sort
160
00:10:03.019 --> 00:10:07.129
of experienced in a sort of a
quite a diluted way with spiral is we're
161
00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:11.009
this these types of films, the
films we've been waiting for everything they come
162
00:10:11.090 --> 00:10:15.649
with such a weight of expectation to
it's a little bit like we got a
163
00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:18.809
teacher that with ten at last year, some of the negative reviews towards ten
164
00:10:18.889 --> 00:10:20.840
at last year, we're very much
like, was this what we were waiting
165
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.840
for? Was this supposed to be
the big film that everyone's excited about?
166
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.399
And was obviously a bit a bit
unfair at the time. The films like
167
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.600
going uses and everything, the way
they're going to be measured and reviewed will
168
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.360
be like no other films ever have, and there's going to be that kind
169
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.230
of especially with a quiet place part
two, for example. I think they
170
00:10:35.269 --> 00:10:39.789
can be that lot of people are
going to be going along with this expectation
171
00:10:39.029 --> 00:10:43.309
of familiarity with clips and images and
the subject matter and all that they wouldn't
172
00:10:43.309 --> 00:10:46.710
ordinarily have with normal preparation leading up
to a film. So it's going to
173
00:10:46.710 --> 00:10:50.019
be a really weird time and I
think we're gonna have to kind of like
174
00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:52.860
maybe recalibrate the way we review and
and look at films for the time,
175
00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:56.299
for the foreseeable future, at least
until we start getting post lockdown stuff,
176
00:10:56.539 --> 00:11:01.179
because that way of expectation can only
harm a film. I think. Yeah,
177
00:11:01.179 --> 00:11:03.460
I think. I think there's a
certain element of that. I mean
178
00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:07.370
not my expectations for quite place too
probably should be moderated a bit, just
179
00:11:07.570 --> 00:11:11.929
because, I mean the first I
absolutely love. I think it's such a
180
00:11:13.570 --> 00:11:18.360
such an effective horror thriller that I'm
not sure how they can do enough new
181
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.480
stuff with the new one to really
really bring it up to that level.
182
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.240
I really really hope they do.
And films like I sort of touched on
183
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.840
June. That's you know, that
that exists somewhere and that's been been waiting
184
00:11:31.909 --> 00:11:33.590
on that for a long, long
time and I think it is. You
185
00:11:33.669 --> 00:11:39.350
know, what you said about tenants
really really true. That actually, if
186
00:11:39.429 --> 00:11:43.350
that had been released in normal times, that would have been one in a
187
00:11:43.509 --> 00:11:48.539
sea of choices at that time.
And maybe that's scrutiny for it, because
188
00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:52.299
Nolan was very focused that this is
going to be a cinema release and,
189
00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:56.340
you know, try to hold the
line as long as possible and because,
190
00:11:56.620 --> 00:12:01.570
you know, it was a highly
anticipated film, but one that maybe isn't
191
00:12:01.610 --> 00:12:05.809
as straightforward as some of the other
summer blockbusters were. I think if that
192
00:12:05.889 --> 00:12:09.049
had been released a time with lots
of other things going on, the scrutiny
193
00:12:09.129 --> 00:12:15.450
probably wouldn't have been there in quite
the same sort of powerful way that it
194
00:12:15.570 --> 00:12:18.679
did. Really Zeroed in on it. But you know, I really enjoyed
195
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.240
tune so that not to not to
kind of like undermine cinema and any way,
196
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.240
shape or form. Basic thing is
he's like and the realization dawned on
197
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.279
me when I was watching Spirell this
afternoon, when I was just literally watching
198
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.830
it and going, do you know
what these are with this is this is
199
00:12:31.909 --> 00:12:35.309
just a film. It's like it's
weird when you have to step back from
200
00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:37.629
that someone that loves cinema as much
as I do, and it was great
201
00:12:37.629 --> 00:12:41.309
to be in the cinema again.
I felt like the weight in Midd lifted
202
00:12:41.509 --> 00:12:43.149
and I kind of like felt like, you know, or some of anxieties
203
00:12:43.190 --> 00:12:46.539
and stuff that I just literally turning
my phone off and being in the dark
204
00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:50.299
room for two hours with no interruptions, just immersed in a way that I
205
00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:54.460
haven't been in the last six months
was terrific and I was there and I
206
00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:56.539
was thinking to myself, okay,
yeah, this is just a film.
207
00:12:58.139 --> 00:13:01.169
Cinema is just films and it's wonderful
and they can save the world and save
208
00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:03.570
you, you know, you know, save your mind and your mental health
209
00:13:03.570 --> 00:13:07.450
and everything in many ways, but
also as well, do remember these are
210
00:13:07.490 --> 00:13:09.450
just films. And Yeah, well, there was an odd way to me
211
00:13:09.529 --> 00:13:13.639
to think that. Yeah, I
I did. I think for me,
212
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:22.399
and you're right, that idea of
it having that positive impact on you soul
213
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.120
basically. But I think that's less
going to be about the films but being
214
00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:31.830
more about the experience. One hundred
that's yeah, and that's the thing that
215
00:13:31.909 --> 00:13:35.309
I'm going to take in the first
time I go in. Is Not necessarily
216
00:13:35.389 --> 00:13:39.750
that I'm going to see something life
changing, be nice for do, but
217
00:13:39.710 --> 00:13:43.980
the fact that I am going to
be in a screen for the first time
218
00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:50.620
since March two thousand and twenty with, like you say, that the big
219
00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:56.929
screen and they sound system and just
that disconnect from the world, because,
220
00:13:56.250 --> 00:14:01.049
God knows we need that disconnect from
the world at the moment and that escapism.
221
00:14:01.090 --> 00:14:05.289
Yeah, I just yeah, that's
that's the thing that I've been holding
222
00:14:05.330 --> 00:14:09.200
on to for a year and,
you know, grabbing those little moments when
223
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.600
I can, when I've been going
to the drive ins, because it's a
224
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.240
new experience. It's a different experience
and it's it's similarly kind of all encompassing,
225
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.600
but there is nothing like that.
I thought I've moment and the lights
226
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:24.110
go down. I found my side. Yeah, yeah, I wait,
227
00:14:24.269 --> 00:14:26.950
I found myself like that. I
found when the lights went down, I
228
00:14:28.070 --> 00:14:30.629
found it was like someone to put
an oxygen mask over the way and it
229
00:14:30.789 --> 00:14:33.909
was like I felt like I'd woken
up and I was back in the room.
230
00:14:33.950 --> 00:14:35.870
You know I mean, it was
like not, yeah, sort too
231
00:14:35.909 --> 00:14:39.139
dramatic about it, and there were
points in the film where I was thinking
232
00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:41.820
to myself, any moment now someone's
going to keep the door in the say
233
00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:43.740
everybody out, everybody else, you
cut cinema, can't come back today.
234
00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:46.100
So if I can't come back today, get out, get out. But
235
00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:48.340
Luckily we went to get to the
end of it. It's almost like like
236
00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:50.820
when I saw ten at last year, I was like, thank God,
237
00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:54.610
I've just watched something. So if
we went into another lockdown now, then
238
00:14:54.610 --> 00:14:56.090
at least I've managed to come up
for air for a bit. Yeah,
239
00:14:56.970 --> 00:15:01.769
absolutely, not to be romating about
things. Goodness me, Kevin, wake
240
00:15:01.809 --> 00:15:05.809
up. So, Kev, come
on that. Tell us a little bit
241
00:15:05.850 --> 00:15:09.720
about spoil, give us, give
us a bit of a summary and tell
242
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.559
us what your thoughts about. Let's
crack on with some reviews. Well,
243
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.840
spiral from the book of saw.
It takes place in the saw universe.
244
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.879
A criminal master mind unleash. He's
a twisted form of justice in spiral.
245
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.029
Yeah, so what is this criminal
master mind? Where does it take place?
246
00:15:24.190 --> 00:15:26.789
Well, you know, the saw
films have been popular for a long
247
00:15:26.830 --> 00:15:28.350
period of time. In my opinion, I love the first saw film.
248
00:15:28.509 --> 00:15:31.710
It's all the second saw film.
Then it kind of like weaves off a
249
00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:35.149
little bit in quality and then you
have kind of hits and misses. I've
250
00:15:35.230 --> 00:15:37.419
not seen all of the saw films
and I thought, Oh no, well,
251
00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:39.220
I be a disadvantage going into spiral. No, you're not. As
252
00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:41.580
long as you seen the first saw
film, and even that, to be
253
00:15:41.659 --> 00:15:45.620
honest, you could probably. You
could probably start from scratch having not seen
254
00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:48.700
any of them. You'll probably be
all right. This one puts Chris Rock
255
00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:52.409
as our kind of like main protagonist
scowling his way through the film in a
256
00:15:52.450 --> 00:15:56.529
way that I've not seen Chris Rock
before, and Chris Rock, who you
257
00:15:56.649 --> 00:15:58.490
know, you know usually wise cracked
his way through lethal weapon for and can
258
00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:02.850
now actually be seen in Fargo on
TV. I don't know if anyone's been
259
00:16:02.850 --> 00:16:04.519
watching the new series of yeah,
but he seems to be having a little
260
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:08.039
bit of a renaissance, a rocket
sons? I don't know, because those
261
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.240
of you that might have seen bad
company that he did with Anthony Hopkins all
262
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.960
those years ago, I've noticed that
he's become a bit more as as he
263
00:16:15.000 -->
00:16:17.279
has a standup comedian, a bit
more of a kind of a mature,
264
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.309
kind of like comic and a bit
more of a mature actor and performer now,
265
00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:23.870
and I think it was really interesting
that he was involved in spiral and,
266
00:16:23.990 --> 00:16:26.909
to be fair, had it of
just been a reboot of a cast
267
00:16:26.990 --> 00:16:30.590
of unknowns, or at least the
level of little carryol ways and stuff like
268
00:16:30.669 --> 00:16:36.100
that that had been ever present right
the way through the original saw films,
269
00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:38.500
I might not have been that excited
about seeing it, but was very interested
270
00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:42.460
to see where this was going to
go. You've also got Samuel Jackson popping
271
00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:47.250
up in it as well. It's
kind of it's generally it's like, okay,
272
00:16:47.289 --> 00:16:51.169
well, even though it's taking place
in the saw universe, its own
273
00:16:51.289 --> 00:16:53.850
film. Yeah, have you got
a copycat for the you know, of
274
00:16:55.009 --> 00:16:56.450
the Jigsaw killings of it? There's
all of this stuff that kind of goes
275
00:16:56.529 --> 00:16:59.490
in it. And obviously I'm not
going to go too much into the plock
276
00:16:59.490 --> 00:17:02.039
because I don't want to give anything
away. But why do people go to
277
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.079
see saw films or films that take
place in the saw universe? They go
278
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.559
for the deaths, don't they?
The ingenious deaths and all of the kind
279
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.799
of a really clever ways of people
having to make split second decisions to know
280
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.309
whether or not to lose their head, you know, it all their head
281
00:17:15.349 --> 00:17:18.190
or their legs or something like that, you know, in a way of
282
00:17:18.230 --> 00:17:21.349
kind of like punishing them for some
indiscretion they've done in the past. And
283
00:17:21.390 --> 00:17:22.710
it's all about that kind of like
that justice, isn't it? That's the
284
00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:26.789
way that Jig saw used to work. But what does spiral bring to the
285
00:17:26.869 --> 00:17:30.900
table? Will it brings a kind
of like a a corrupt, dirty cop
286
00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:34.819
kind of feel. Yeah, so
someone is focusing on the police department and
287
00:17:36.420 --> 00:17:38.700
dirty cops and you know they're bringing
their own form of justice with all of
288
00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:41.940
their unique traps. Is it?
Is it the jigsaw killer? Is it
289
00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:45.329
as he come back again somehow?
Because we know watching the original saw films
290
00:17:45.369 --> 00:17:48.329
he kind of dies every other film
and and just to come back in some
291
00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:52.210
way, shape or form. But
that's obviously as well old you to kind
292
00:17:52.210 --> 00:17:53.890
of like, you know, twisted
timelines as well. So where does it
293
00:17:53.970 --> 00:17:56.450
take place in that? That's for
you to go and see should you want
294
00:17:56.490 --> 00:18:02.480
to. Are the killings, torture
devices and it puzzles and everything that as
295
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.240
ingenious as the original saw saw series? Probably not really. I would say
296
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.079
that the film opens very well and
you go great, there we go,
297
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:15.190
and then it turns into a more
conventional thriller. That said, many other
298
00:18:15.309 --> 00:18:18.470
reasons it it. It's kind of
a little bit not the disappointment, but
299
00:18:18.549 --> 00:18:22.190
it's business as usual and before you
know it you're in a threestaff thriller that
300
00:18:22.269 --> 00:18:26.349
you're sort of interested in but you
want to kind of know how things are
301
00:18:26.349 --> 00:18:27.619
going to pan out. But then
had they have kicked the door in and
302
00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:30.940
kicked us out of the cinema,
I probably would have been able to have
303
00:18:30.019 --> 00:18:34.859
waited another couple of months to find
out. I think Chris Rock is superb
304
00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:37.579
and, as I said, seeing
him in a completely different way. Sam
305
00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:41.890
Jackson is Sam Jackson, but they've
cast the character as Sir Jackson in the
306
00:18:41.970 --> 00:18:45.250
film. So is the know,
the ideal guy to play it, and
307
00:18:45.450 --> 00:18:48.849
the support cast do their thing and
you keeps your guess in and at the
308
00:18:48.890 --> 00:18:51.769
end you're kind of like, well, is it going to be a twist?
309
00:18:51.849 --> 00:18:53.410
Oh, there's a twist. Is
that you know? How satisfying is
310
00:18:53.490 --> 00:18:56.920
it? Well, it depends how
much you've invested in the film as well.
311
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.880
It is gruesome. It's not for
the faint hearted. The music is
312
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.680
terrific. The atmosphere, especially in
a dark cinema and when you're immersed,
313
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:10.109
is is what you would expect from
films in the saw universe and it feels
314
00:19:10.150 --> 00:19:12.309
claustrophobic and it kind of ticks all
the boxes. But I would probably say
315
00:19:12.509 --> 00:19:17.589
that, having again not seen all
of the saw films, it's probably better
316
00:19:17.630 --> 00:19:21.430
than saw two, but nowhere near
as good. Or imagine if the saw
317
00:19:21.589 --> 00:19:22.670
one, if you were to kind
of like trying to score it like that.
318
00:19:22.829 --> 00:19:26.579
So I'd say it's definitely worth seeing
if only for Chris rocks performance.
319
00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:30.380
But there's enough to keep your guess
in and will be a great Saturday night
320
00:19:30.380 --> 00:19:33.579
in the cinema. And it feelt
weird watching it on a Monday morning when
321
00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:37.660
you know that this film has come
destined for a Saturday night. So I
322
00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:41.490
know it's performed quite well in America. In relation to it's performed, I
323
00:19:41.569 --> 00:19:45.009
think it I think it won one
the weekend, the opening weekend, in
324
00:19:45.130 --> 00:19:48.369
relation to the other films that were
coming out. But I think it has.
325
00:19:48.450 --> 00:19:51.690
Actually it's the lowest performance, I
think, for a saw film,
326
00:19:51.769 --> 00:19:53.960
as you would expect, and that's
probably no reflection your film. It's probably
327
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.480
just, you know, on the
fact that people still haven't, you know,
328
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.359
don't feel reashored about going back to
cinema yet, but hats off to
329
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.039
them for not waiting for this or
putting it on a you know, a
330
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.509
streaming release at the same time over
here. And you know, I think
331
00:20:07.670 --> 00:20:11.829
that, to be fair, I
think I'm pretty went in with the kind
332
00:20:11.829 --> 00:20:14.910
of, like you know, my
way of expectation for it was probably a
333
00:20:14.990 --> 00:20:17.109
case of great, I've been looking
forward to this for a while and then,
334
00:20:17.150 --> 00:20:18.309
I say, halfway through our kind
of went, okay, it's just
335
00:20:18.430 --> 00:20:22.339
a film, is three staff thriller
at that, but I'll enjoyed the ride,
336
00:20:22.339 --> 00:20:23.819
and I did. And Yeah,
I certainly wasn't. Yeah, I
337
00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.539
wasn't really let down. It just
could have been better. So fantastic.
338
00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:30.700
There we go. So that's that's
spiral, which is in cinemas, in
339
00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:36.490
cinemas. Now about I was about
that. I will say this. So
340
00:20:36.569 --> 00:20:38.450
Chris Rock even though his character is
mean, a moody and he scales the
341
00:20:38.450 --> 00:20:44.250
whole film, he definitely improvised some
some of the lines in it, because
342
00:20:44.250 --> 00:20:48.170
I will say this is some of
the lines in the script are absolutely superb.
343
00:20:48.329 --> 00:20:51.000
Manages to get those one liners in
in a made that only Chris Rock
344
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:56.079
camp. We're going to move on
to giant titans because I've managed to go
345
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.960
and see something brand new on a
big screen really. So I managed to
346
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.910
get to the great brish driving.
I don't mentioned it a few times before,
347
00:21:04.910 --> 00:21:08.349
but I'm a big fan of the
work they do there and I was
348
00:21:08.430 --> 00:21:12.309
very, very lucky. Actually.
I want tickets to go and to go
349
00:21:12.430 --> 00:21:17.950
and see a film of my choosing
and I left it to my daughter's choice
350
00:21:18.109 --> 00:21:22.220
and she picks after seeing the trailer
Godzilla versus Kong, which is directed by
351
00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:29.900
Adam Wing Guard and is a continuation
of the the Godzilla stroke Kong stroke monarch
352
00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:33.890
monster verse, if you like to
call it that, and it's finally bringing
353
00:21:34.089 --> 00:21:41.049
together Godzilla and Kong from Kong School
Island. So this is following on from
354
00:21:41.049 --> 00:21:45.049
the original Goytheredwoods, Godzilla and God's
all King of monsters and, as I
355
00:21:45.130 --> 00:21:51.720
say, Cong School Island. So
the basic premise of it, it's as
356
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.519
if you need to know too much
about the promise of it, as in
357
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:57.160
a time when monsters walk the earth, humanities fight for its future, sets
358
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:02.750
Godzilla and Kong on a collision course
that will see the two most powerful forces
359
00:22:02.789 --> 00:22:07.509
of nature on the planets collide in
a spectacular battle for the ages. Will
360
00:22:07.630 --> 00:22:11.230
they find out that both of their
mum's names are Martha before it's too late?
361
00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:14.750
And if you've seen Batman vsus Superman, that is a brilliant joke.
362
00:22:15.579 --> 00:22:26.099
So so, yeah, so the
basic PREMIS Godzilla's. Basically he's established himself
363
00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:30.369
in the last couple of films as
being kind of a de facto hero.
364
00:22:30.890 --> 00:22:34.690
He's a defender of humanity and defender
of the planet. Kong on the other
365
00:22:34.730 --> 00:22:38.890
hand, it is has now grown
from his his size. You know,
366
00:22:40.130 --> 00:22:44.210
he's not in substantial size in conscoline, but because it's been about forty years,
367
00:22:44.210 --> 00:22:48.680
hence he is a properly see now
and he's living out his life in
368
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:55.200
a dome on school island where he's
being protected away from Godzilla because they they
369
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.269
know as soon as they get wind
of each other it's basically all going to
370
00:22:59.309 --> 00:23:03.710
kick off. But something is sending
Godzilla a little bit, a little bit
371
00:23:03.789 --> 00:23:11.069
nuts and he he starts turning up
on land and wrecking basically anything to do
372
00:23:11.309 --> 00:23:15.539
with the the company Apex who,
if you've seen, God to the King
373
00:23:15.619 --> 00:23:22.220
of monsters. They are the slucky, evil, sinister organization that was run
374
00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:26.970
by Charles Dance, now being run
by Damian Bishier, who was in so
375
00:23:27.170 --> 00:23:32.970
he was in the hateful eight and
he was in an incovenant and yeah,
376
00:23:33.769 --> 00:23:37.250
as a not too veiled thing that
they've called themselves apex, as you know,
377
00:23:37.809 --> 00:23:41.009
the apex predators. This is the
level of subtle too kind of working
378
00:23:41.089 --> 00:23:45.559
with with a
film and is there
something sinister going on under the surface,
379
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:52.119
and it's you know, it's fairly
well cast. Alexander Scars Guard Rebecca Hall,
380
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.349
Millie. Bobby Brown returns from God
to the King of monsters, as
381
00:23:56.430 --> 00:24:02.269
does Carl Chandler. Also get Brian
tyree Henry in a sort of wise cracking
382
00:24:03.269 --> 00:24:07.549
conspiracy theorist role. Julian Dennison,
Ricky from hunt for the world's people,
383
00:24:07.549 --> 00:24:12.460
also turns up again as a bit
of comic relief. And you know they're
384
00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:18.619
they're just there to spout portentious dialog
and talk about sort of energy sources and
385
00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:25.690
hollow Earth, when what we're really
wanting is great big monster smackdowns. And
386
00:24:26.049 --> 00:24:30.210
so yeah, the the dialog in
the moments in between are literally just to
387
00:24:30.410 --> 00:24:36.609
carry you from one big beastie slap
in another big beastie about the place.
388
00:24:37.410 --> 00:24:41.599
You know what those those moments are
are quite fun and they hold a fair
389
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.720
bit of Heft, as with God
to the King of monsters, which I
390
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:49.200
will confess, the actually with Godzilla
as well. They're all visual feast.
391
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.589
I enjoyed Godzilla to it to a
degree, I thought, you know,
392
00:24:53.190 --> 00:24:57.910
it had issues. killed off one
of the most interesting characters in kind of
393
00:24:57.950 --> 00:25:02.349
the first act, and I wasn't
a massive fan of God to look King
394
00:25:02.430 --> 00:25:07.619
of monsters. But when kind of
visuals kicked in. It was beautiful to
395
00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:11.140
look at and some really, really
quite spectacular special effects. It carries on
396
00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:17.099
that kind of trended that. You
know, the special effects, particularly with
397
00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:19.180
the monsters, are are very good
and, as I say, there's quite
398
00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:25.529
a bitter decent heft with the fights
particularly. There's a there's a couple of
399
00:25:26.089 --> 00:25:32.650
a couple of climactic smackdowns that that
take place and yeah, it's just,
400
00:25:33.410 --> 00:25:37.200
you know, I'm not going to
sort of bang too long and hard on
401
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.160
about this film. That it's it's
it's exactly what you're expecting it to be.
402
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:48.400
It's slightly slightly daff but reasonably likable, wise, cracking dialog, slightly
403
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:55.470
portentious science he dialog lacing together Godzilla, who, you know, probably doesn't
404
00:25:55.470 --> 00:25:59.470
get as much time as on screen
as Kong does, and Kong, who
405
00:26:00.069 --> 00:26:02.750
Kong School Island, is my favorite
of the series so far. I just
406
00:26:02.829 --> 00:26:08.220
think it's brilliant fun and he kind
of feels like a decent hero to root
407
00:26:08.299 --> 00:26:11.619
for. I quite liked Kong.
I was very much caried down on the
408
00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:15.819
side of Kong wanting to win this
particular one. But yeah, it's it's
409
00:26:15.859 --> 00:26:21.490
it's exactly what it's again, it's
a solid two and a half threestar bit
410
00:26:21.569 --> 00:26:26.970
of big special effects, action spectacular. Don't go in expecting anything more than
411
00:26:26.049 --> 00:26:30.529
that. But it is showing at
cinemas at the moment. So rather than
412
00:26:30.849 --> 00:26:34.599
paying fifteen quid to watch it on
your little piddly television at home, you
413
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:37.759
have the opportunity now to go and
watch it in all its glory on a
414
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:44.759
big screen with the kickaff sound system. You know, this is what again
415
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.710
we're going back to cinema for.
You want, you want some and that's
416
00:26:47.910 --> 00:26:52.390
a little bit spectacular. So it's
not it's not great, but it has
417
00:26:52.430 --> 00:26:55.910
its moments of fun and you know, if if you're looking for a little
418
00:26:55.910 --> 00:26:59.470
bit of escapism for less than two
hours, you could kind of do a
419
00:26:59.509 --> 00:27:03.019
lot worse. I think it would
have been my return film had had spiral.
420
00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:04.099
I have been there, I think, just just so obviously. So
421
00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:07.980
we had something else to review on
the PODCAST. I went to see spiral,
422
00:27:07.059 --> 00:27:11.579
but I think that that would have
been my return film had I have
423
00:27:11.660 --> 00:27:14.180
had free reign of anything forwarder felt
that atually, if you know, it
424
00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:15.890
feels like a nice light cinema once
I'm glad that you got to see on
425
00:27:15.970 --> 00:27:19.410
the big screen. Definitely, definitely, and yeah, I mean even even
426
00:27:19.730 --> 00:27:22.569
sort of on a car stereo.
You crank it up, there's some some
427
00:27:22.690 --> 00:27:26.009
good base with with the sound as
well. I do have to say I
428
00:27:26.130 --> 00:27:30.519
did when I when I did see
it, the screen that I watched it
429
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.359
on and the kind of brightness mix
wasn't the best and so I do feel
430
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.480
like I missed parts of it.
So there may be cool to go back
431
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:44.430
and revisit it again just to just
to see if my opinion of it lifts
432
00:27:44.470 --> 00:27:48.950
any because I think the viewing experience
did slightly mar my enjoyment of it.
433
00:27:48.869 --> 00:27:52.430
And you know, it's just one
of those things. It was a reasonably
434
00:27:52.470 --> 00:27:56.630
bright day and I think that the
brightness mix that they had on the screen
435
00:27:56.190 --> 00:28:00.539
wasn't the
best. But but yeah, it was. It was fine and
436
00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:07.740
yeah, worth worth checking out if
you particularly if you've got your your generic
437
00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:12.609
cinema monthly pass. So so,
moving away from the big screen, we're
438
00:28:12.609 --> 00:28:18.890
going back to small screen and recent
streaming releases and we're going for an Amazon
439
00:28:18.970 --> 00:28:26.250
prime exclusive. It's a tom clancy's
without remorse. So directed by Stefano Salima,
440
00:28:26.569 --> 00:28:34.079
who directed the sequel to Sakario,
also Starr in the rather brilliant Michael
441
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:40.799
B Jordan, Jamie Bell and Jodie
Turner Smith, who turned up in Queen
442
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:44.910
and slim last year. He was
queen. Yes, so, yeah,
443
00:28:44.950 --> 00:28:48.670
that's Queen and Guy Pierce as well. And so, yeah, it to
444
00:28:48.750 --> 00:28:52.549
give you the story, an elite
navy seal and covers an international conspiracy while
445
00:28:52.589 --> 00:28:59.059
seeking justice for the murder of his
pregnant wife. So rare. Yes,
446
00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:03.299
so, Jents, what did you
what did you think of without remorse,
447
00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:06.779
Craig, you've you've not weighed in
as yet. This is one you've seen.
448
00:29:06.980 --> 00:29:11.130
How did you find without remorse?
Well, if I was to be
449
00:29:11.650 --> 00:29:18.690
completely honest, I really didn't like
it much at all. It was they
450
00:29:18.089 --> 00:29:22.369
it had moments that I really enjoyed. There was a couple of set pieces
451
00:29:22.410 --> 00:29:26.640
in it that and when I was
younger, when I was sort of like
452
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.839
in my thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, I remembered a film for a set
453
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:34.240
piece and action film, and from
this for me the moment, there's a
454
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.789
moment about halfway through the film with
the the aeroplane. I thought that was
455
00:29:40.309 --> 00:29:45.269
fantastic. Yeah, and the opening
scene as well, where they they're opening
456
00:29:45.309 --> 00:29:48.589
assault. I don't think I'm given
away too much there where they emerge from
457
00:29:48.589 --> 00:29:55.859
the water. I thought was was
fantastic but that the script for it seemed
458
00:29:56.380 --> 00:30:00.220
weak. And the writer, Taylor
Sheridan, who had done hell or high
459
00:30:00.259 --> 00:30:04.859
water and wind river, yeah,
which are two amazing films that I love
460
00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:10.690
going back to, and Sakaria.
Well, yeah, absolutely, you know,
461
00:30:10.809 --> 00:30:14.250
films that I would keep going back
to and will happily keep going back
462
00:30:14.250 --> 00:30:18.410
to. He wrote this film where
I would not happily go back to it.
463
00:30:18.490 --> 00:30:22.160
I wouldn't be happy going back to
watch this again or recommend in this.
464
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.119
I just found it a bit paint
by numbers, to be honest.
465
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.200
The everybody appeared to be dialing it
up, you know, to play the
466
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.640
bad guy. Or I'm supposed to
be the bad guy. I'm going to
467
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:40.390
be the curveball. Michael Pete Jordan
was was great, yeah, but it
468
00:30:40.630 --> 00:30:42.869
his heart didn't seem in it.
He's a and he's a great presence.
469
00:30:44.470 --> 00:30:47.789
Yeah, that's exactly what's going to
say. He's got a real, real
470
00:30:48.630 --> 00:30:52.980
great physical presence about himself and I
think with a right material he's he's so
471
00:30:53.180 --> 00:30:56.619
good. Sorry, I carry up
with no, no, but that.
472
00:30:56.900 --> 00:31:00.740
You're absolutely right, but the the
scenes with his wife were were too fleeting
473
00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:07.089
for me to really care about what
happens to her and or not. But
474
00:31:07.170 --> 00:31:10.650
I did, but I didn't invest
in, you know, the the revenge
475
00:31:10.809 --> 00:31:15.170
aspect of it. So there's there's
lots and lots of it where I was
476
00:31:15.410 --> 00:31:18.200
like, you know, fifteen minutes
has gone by. I've been a passive
477
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.880
viewer of this and I haven't been
drawn into what has been going on here,
478
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.680
you know. But, like I
said, the the scene with the
479
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.640
plane I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed.
I really really enjoyed that. So yeah,
480
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.029
but what did you guys make of
it? Well, I just want
481
00:31:33.069 --> 00:31:36.430
to kind of pick up on what
you said about the writing. So I
482
00:31:37.430 --> 00:31:41.910
sort of agree that. I mean, I found it to be the right
483
00:31:41.269 --> 00:31:45.710
sort of film for my mood at
the time. So I just needed some
484
00:31:45.829 --> 00:31:49.339
Saturday night action wallpaper. Wasn't looking
to get invested in it and I just
485
00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:53.299
it was a film that I just
let happen and and it was it was
486
00:31:53.859 --> 00:31:59.859
okay. Do you think that the
part of the problem with the with the
487
00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:05.369
writing, is maybe down to the
fact that, rather than Taylor Sheridan writing
488
00:32:05.450 --> 00:32:07.170
this from cut the top of his
head, that it's based on the Tom
489
00:32:07.250 --> 00:32:12.329
Clancy novel obviously feels like a bit
of a franchise start. So that trying
490
00:32:12.369 --> 00:32:16.279
to set up a basically a new
Jack Ryan with with Michael B Jordan in
491
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:21.119
the lead role as the what's it
called? John and Ken? John Kelly.
492
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.440
So, so John Clark, who's
the name of the character from the
493
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.880
from the novels. But yeah,
that maybe. I think that might have
494
00:32:29.039 -->
00:32:34.950
something that, you know, the
source materials probably a little outdated now and
495
00:32:35.069 --> 00:32:38.190
I agree that. So it was
very paint by numbers. That there the
496
00:32:38.349 --> 00:32:46.099
justifications for everything that had gone on
were quite were quite weak, quite sort
497
00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:52.140
of nothing really had to kind of
the gravity of the impact that something like
498
00:32:52.299 --> 00:32:59.930
this should have. That you know
that the twist was completely unsurprising and possibly
499
00:33:00.769 --> 00:33:04.890
possibly signed posted by the casting I
think so. Yeah, I think so.
500
00:33:05.049 --> 00:33:07.650
When as soon as I saw the
name, I'm like, okay,
501
00:33:07.650 --> 00:33:09.809
yeah, maybe that's that's we know
whether we know where this is scared.
502
00:33:10.009 --> 00:33:13.480
There were moments, like you said, with the with the plane, you
503
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:16.640
know, the literal wet work at
the beginning was a good sequers and that
504
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.359
kind of drew me in. But
then I just found particularly towards the end
505
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:24.200
of the film that it was just
happening and there was no real kind of
506
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:30.630
engagement with it and they established kind
of some of the allegiances a little bit
507
00:33:30.670 --> 00:33:36.109
too easily considering what had gone before. So for me, Bang average,
508
00:33:36.309 --> 00:33:40.619
but I wasn't offended by it.
Passed the time. I won't rush back
509
00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:45.420
to see it again. You know
what I thought? I think I think
510
00:33:45.579 --> 00:33:47.700
it was yeah, exactly that.
I think everything you guys have said is
511
00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:51.619
exactly true. Bang average, but
I think I enjoyed it more than you
512
00:33:51.700 --> 00:33:53.539
guys did and I think the thing
was I think my expectations were lower.
513
00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:58.609
I kind of felt a bit I
thought, what is about Tom Clancy stuff?
514
00:33:59.009 --> 00:34:01.369
But there's that I think it might
have be with like when I was
515
00:34:01.609 --> 00:34:05.329
when I was a kid, I
used to go I watch that Patriot games
516
00:34:06.009 --> 00:34:07.170
and I was like, okay,
yeah, this is good, but it's
517
00:34:07.170 --> 00:34:09.760
not Harrison Ford in his most action
packed roles, because I love in the
518
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:13.679
other Jones. And there's obviously when
I was a lot younger. And then
519
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:15.440
then I remember going to see clear
and present danger with my friends and we
520
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:17.639
went along or watched it and I
was like, yeah, this is good.
521
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:21.199
It kind of goes for the emotions
and everything like that, and then
522
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:23.389
whenever there's bit and some of all
fears as well. And although whenever there's
523
00:34:23.429 --> 00:34:25.949
a Tom clancy thing, I think
to myself it will be a kind of
524
00:34:27.070 --> 00:34:30.710
Threestar, midlevel, enjoyable political,
you know, espionage thriller, the see,
525
00:34:30.710 --> 00:34:34.949
you know that kind of stuff.
And I think with with that remorse,
526
00:34:35.150 --> 00:34:37.550
I was more excited about it before
and I wish it wasn't called Tom
527
00:34:37.619 --> 00:34:42.219
Clancy's with that remorse, because when
people say Tom Clancy it's like saying we're
528
00:34:42.260 --> 00:34:45.380
going to put a disclaimer in the
title, basically saying if you love a
529
00:34:45.460 --> 00:34:49.300
bit of Tom Clancy you'll like this. If not, you probably find it
530
00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:52.449
a bit three star. You know
now I started watching this oddly at thirty
531
00:34:52.570 --> 00:34:57.369
in the morning with a cup of
coffee and and pobbish or two hours so
532
00:34:57.489 --> 00:35:00.690
it was done. I was done
by just after nine and I was like,
533
00:35:00.849 --> 00:35:02.570
okay, great, yeah, I
can go with my damn glad I've
534
00:35:02.570 --> 00:35:06.289
seen it. Ticked it off the
list and I think I was the reason
535
00:35:06.289 --> 00:35:07.519
I wanted to watch it, obviously
to discuss it on the podcast for you
536
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:09.920
guys, but I just want to
I like Michael B Jordan. I think
537
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.960
he's a great presence and, you
know, like you guys, I think
538
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.800
he's the best thing about the film
and do like Jamie Bell, Guy Pierce
539
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:17.880
has got to stop playing you,
I pierce, in these kind of roles.
540
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:21.789
Whenever I was watching him the whole
film, thinking, man, you
541
00:35:21.909 --> 00:35:23.789
know, you know, you're the
memento man. What what you did?
542
00:35:24.349 --> 00:35:27.750
Why? Why do you keep popping
up as the guy in the suit that
543
00:35:27.869 --> 00:35:30.750
you, I'm an, are about? You know, Jamie Bell, at
544
00:35:30.829 --> 00:35:32.750
least he's kind of like some of
his roles are got a bit more variety
545
00:35:32.829 --> 00:35:37.340
to it, but Guy Pierce is
woefully under used in Hollywood in general,
546
00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:39.019
and it's because he's in films like
this. Yeah, and I was watching
547
00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:42.260
it and I was thinking to myself, yeah, this is quite enjoyable.
548
00:35:43.139 --> 00:35:46.619
I will say this right had I
have seen without remorse when I was fifteen
549
00:35:46.659 --> 00:35:50.769
years old, instead of clear and
present danger, I probably would have enjoyed
550
00:35:50.809 --> 00:35:52.730
myself a little bit more because what
it didn't have, or what it had
551
00:35:52.769 --> 00:35:57.050
but by folks in not on someone
that's the reluctant hero, a little bit
552
00:35:57.170 --> 00:36:00.369
like year Jack Ryan's it
was it. You know, the Michael B Jordan's
553
00:36:00.369 --> 00:36:05.000
character is. It was in the
thick of it, because that's what he
554
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.239
did. Yeah, and I found
that there was a lot more action in
555
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.599
it that whenever I started to get
a little bit bored and action sequence came
556
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.199
along and I was like okay,
cool, yeah, I'm back in the
557
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.119
game now, back in the game, and then I'd start to lose interest
558
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:20.429
again and then another action sequence would
come up. But you know, and
559
00:36:20.510 --> 00:36:22.389
that sequence, yeah, that the
plane sequence is great. The sequence in
560
00:36:22.389 --> 00:36:24.630
the prisons brilliant as well. When
you see that kind of thing, when
561
00:36:24.630 --> 00:36:28.269
you see is, you know,
will whenever, I'll level with you,
562
00:36:28.349 --> 00:36:30.789
whenever Michael B Jordon's got his shirt
off, I'm appy, you know.
563
00:36:30.829 --> 00:36:32.219
I mean it was kind of like
he was going for it and I was
564
00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:35.500
like yeah, this is this is
good, and I did like that it
565
00:36:35.539 --> 00:36:37.300
didn't outstake. It's welcome because it
clocks in under two hours, which is
566
00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:40.019
kind of like another thing with Tom
Clancy stuff. You kind of go and
567
00:36:40.059 --> 00:36:44.699
I admittedly I've not seen the Jack
Ryan TV show, which I would like
568
00:36:44.780 --> 00:36:46.969
to see, but again I think
it's because of the casting. I think
569
00:36:46.969 --> 00:36:51.409
I used to be a little bit
kind of I wasn't enthused about Ben Affleck
570
00:36:51.530 --> 00:36:53.289
taking over from Harrison Ford, but
when I actually look back at it,
571
00:36:53.369 --> 00:36:55.769
I think I used to tell people
that I used to like the Jack Ryan's
572
00:36:55.769 --> 00:37:00.530
thrillers because I wanted to. I
wanted people to think that I like Jack
573
00:37:00.530 --> 00:37:02.079
Ryan for it is, when in
fact I probably won't go back and revisit
574
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:05.639
them any time soon. You know
I mean, it's that kind of thing.
575
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:07.800
So I think, I think,
without remorse, was better than I
576
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.599
expected it to be, because I
expected it's just be dull. But the
577
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:14.719
thing that kind of bothered me the
most about the film, and it probably
578
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.030
shows how much engagement I had with
it, was during one of the earlier
579
00:37:17.070 --> 00:37:20.909
parts of the film, not to
give anything away, where there's an assault
580
00:37:20.949 --> 00:37:24.429
on his house. Right he's downstairs
in his front room listening to music on
581
00:37:24.750 --> 00:37:28.750
on his on his laptop, yeah, on his Bluetooth, right, and
582
00:37:29.469 -->
00:37:31.860
the villains, before they're breaking in, they cut the power to his house
583
00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:36.460
and he's laptop goes off and all
I could think of throat the entire action
584
00:37:36.539 --> 00:37:40.059
sequence, was why didn't battery on
the laptop kick it? Why did he
585
00:37:40.179 --> 00:37:44.769
notice that there was an assault on
his house? Because the battery on his
586
00:37:44.809 --> 00:37:49.849
laptop. Someone that's in an elite
squad would have probably quite up to date
587
00:37:49.969 --> 00:37:52.849
tech in their house right and they're
at least I my battery on my laptop
588
00:37:52.889 --> 00:37:58.530
lasted longer then he's laptop battery did. So I couldn't get over that.
589
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:00.400
And by that by and by the
point that had happened, we were already
590
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.079
kind of like two thirds into the
film and I was like cool, okay,
591
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:06.519
don't well, we know that this
guy doesn't have a lasting battery on
592
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:08.039
his laptop, so what else is
he going to like trip up on?
593
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:15.429
That's why I think the the moment
for me that I can't realized that maybe
594
00:38:15.469 --> 00:38:19.989
I shouldn't be taking it hundred percent
seriously is when there was a news report
595
00:38:20.670 --> 00:38:23.829
going on so in a briefing room
and one of the news reporters was purred,
596
00:38:23.869 --> 00:38:29.940
happily, from parks and recreation as
well. Plus also as well,
597
00:38:29.940 --> 00:38:34.900
one of the villains in it is
the guy from fleabag and as it was,
598
00:38:35.019 --> 00:38:37.260
it was there was just I was
just thinking about so many things about
599
00:38:37.300 --> 00:38:40.420
the production and the writing and everything
like that. I wasn't really focusing on
600
00:38:40.449 --> 00:38:43.809
the film and any time that my
mind would go like that. They call
601
00:38:43.889 --> 00:38:46.130
me better than actually sequence that to
be fair, or quite well executed.
602
00:38:46.530 --> 00:38:49.929
So I you know, I think
it's kind of it's probably better. In
603
00:38:50.010 --> 00:38:52.610
my opinion, it was better than
my average Tom Clancy. But then if
604
00:38:52.650 --> 00:38:53.809
you're not a Tom Cloanncy fan,
it's not going to win you over.
605
00:38:54.090 --> 00:38:58.559
Now I think there's a just go
back to the action sequence is really quickly.
606
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:00.360
Just as kind of a final point, there's one that takes place at
607
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:07.159
an airport involving a car on fire, and I saw a sort of mini
608
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.670
feature at on the making of that
moment and the fact that that was all
609
00:39:12.789 --> 00:39:19.670
done in camera and real fire,
real Michael B Jordan really getting into that
610
00:39:19.829 --> 00:39:23.940
car. Yeah, that's yeah,
that's yeah, I mean that's you know,
611
00:39:24.059 --> 00:39:29.260
there are moments in it that kind
of go above and beyond your standard
612
00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:32.579
box standard conspiracy thriller and there are
moments like that that you know, that
613
00:39:32.699 --> 00:39:38.610
are really well executed. But and
I guess, yeah, I guess that
614
00:39:38.849 --> 00:39:44.010
that sort of is what held the
appeal for me is that these moments all
615
00:39:44.010 --> 00:39:47.610
the way through and quite a sort
of a rote conspiracy thriller, that that,
616
00:39:47.769 --> 00:39:51.969
you know, it was portrated by
some really really smart actual moment.
617
00:39:52.170 --> 00:39:54.559
So it does the does the Tom
Clossy think? Good, you know well
618
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:58.400
enough, but not going to win
anyone else. MMM. So I if
619
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:02.320
you're interested in a bit of Tom
Clancy, conspiracy thriller without remorse is on
620
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:07.510
Amazon prime now. And so we
come to the last of our reviews for
621
00:40:07.789 --> 00:40:12.630
this particular episode and we're moving over
to Netflix. Will the recent streaming releases.
622
00:40:13.349 --> 00:40:17.550
It's the French thriller oxygen, directed
by Alexandra Agha. So the basic
623
00:40:17.590 --> 00:40:22.699
story is no escape, no memory, ninety minutes to live. A woman
624
00:40:22.820 --> 00:40:28.300
wakes in a cryogenic chamber with no
recollection of how she got there and must
625
00:40:28.460 --> 00:40:31.420
find a way out before running out
of air. So this is one that
626
00:40:31.780 --> 00:40:35.929
both me and Craig have seen,
so I'm going to jump in first,
627
00:40:35.929 --> 00:40:37.730
if that's all right with you,
Craig, what you go for? It
628
00:40:37.929 --> 00:40:42.170
fantastic. So oxygen. I saw
the trailers pop up that while ago and
629
00:40:42.250 --> 00:40:45.969
thought that looks like a an interesting
premise. I mean it's something that ticking
630
00:40:46.010 --> 00:40:51.639
clock, race against time, losing
oxygen. It's something that we seem previously
631
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:57.039
in the brilliant but very, very
bleak buried with Ryan Reynolds from a few
632
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:00.519
years ago. It feels like a
kind of a high tech, almost sci
633
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:05.989
fi updating of the kind of the
buried story. At the idea of somebody
634
00:41:06.869 --> 00:41:12.670
that is trapped with kind of minimal
communications with outside world, limited space,
635
00:41:13.909 --> 00:41:17.230
but where she's trapped in this in
this kind of cryogenic chambers, is it's
636
00:41:17.269 --> 00:41:23.019
a bit of a box of tricks
that could could basically killer before before the
637
00:41:23.139 --> 00:41:27.699
air runs out. So it's kind
of it. It's a decent thriller.
638
00:41:28.659 --> 00:41:32.929
Now, I wear because it's Netflix
one, they offer both English dubbing and
639
00:41:35.050 --> 00:41:37.809
subtitled version. So, Craig,
I believe you watch the dubbed version.
640
00:41:37.849 --> 00:41:43.409
Yes, I did. I wasn't
really given a choice because of our okay,
641
00:41:43.489 --> 00:41:45.769
because of the way the APP that
I was watching it through didn't give
642
00:41:45.809 --> 00:41:50.119
me a choice. So right,
okay, and I, yeah, I
643
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:53.719
opted for the French subtitled option as
soon as I realized that it was it
644
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:58.599
was the dubbed, the dumb version. I prefer. I first subtitled with
645
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:04.150
the the original kind of actors performance
in there. And you know what,
646
00:42:04.710 --> 00:42:09.829
it's pretty good, I think,
particularly the the setup and that kind of
647
00:42:10.230 --> 00:42:15.940
air of mystery and that that kind
of piecing together a puzzle from within there,
648
00:42:15.980 --> 00:42:21.739
because essentially this this cryogenic pod that
she's in has technology to be able
649
00:42:21.820 --> 00:42:24.860
to kind of search the Internet,
make phone calls, find information out.
650
00:42:25.179 --> 00:42:30.769
It's useful for its basically try and
piece together her life, because essentially Liz,
651
00:42:30.050 --> 00:42:36.329
played by Melanie Laurent is, she
wakes up basically with Amnesia, not
652
00:42:36.449 --> 00:42:40.210
remembering who she is, how she
got there and why she only has thirty
653
00:42:40.289 --> 00:42:45.400
three percent oxygen left and not long
before it runs out. And it's really
654
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:52.559
interesting because, particularly in that first
bit where she's kind of hyperventilating and quite
655
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.760
sort of violent, with a movement
the computer, who's played by Matthew Amrak
656
00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:02.590
who's in quantum of solace and he
was also in the sound of metal as
657
00:43:02.630 --> 00:43:07.469
well. It's lovely sort of deep
French computer voice just tell it that with
658
00:43:07.590 --> 00:43:13.179
her current consumption and she'd actually only
have forty minutes to live, and so
659
00:43:13.380 --> 00:43:17.340
that that sort of adds the layer
of tension that actually that that increased oxygen
660
00:43:17.460 --> 00:43:22.980
consumptions actually making her task that little
bit harder. And I think the way
661
00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:29.250
I found it particularly is it got
to a point in the film where the
662
00:43:29.409 --> 00:43:32.610
mystery was going to you think it's
going in a certain direction because it it
663
00:43:32.809 --> 00:43:37.610
does jump to flashback and it does, you know, she does have hallucinations
664
00:43:37.769 --> 00:43:43.440
and takes it back to two moments
outside of the pod which sort of help
665
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:46.719
you link, think way link in
the story up to and it does drop
666
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:51.679
little bread crumbs through. But what
I found with the with kind of that
667
00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:55.829
that there's that midpoint revelation and the
revelation for me, while the setups kind
668
00:43:55.829 --> 00:44:01.150
of effective and intrigue in the the
too reveals, they slightly deaden the impact,
669
00:44:02.269 --> 00:44:06.550
that it's less of a Oh my
God, that's a big twist to
670
00:44:06.869 --> 00:44:08.030
kind of all right, okay,
yeah, I can, okay, I
671
00:44:08.070 --> 00:44:13.420
can. I can see that it's
it's a nice little twist, but I
672
00:44:13.539 --> 00:44:17.260
think the way the way the twist
worked, because it felt more like it
673
00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:22.659
was more of a sort of a
conspiracy thing. The twist almost took a
674
00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:28.969
little bit of the the tension out
of it. I found that the race
675
00:44:29.090 --> 00:44:34.409
against time became less I don't know, it just it just felt less important
676
00:44:34.449 --> 00:44:37.960
with now that mystery had been had
been solved. However, I the that
677
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:42.320
the big thing for me is Melane
Ron's performance. I thought she was just
678
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:50.320
brilliant it's a really, really challenging
role, essentially spending a whole film in
679
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:55.550
a really color limited space with the
camera right right there in a face,
680
00:44:57.590 --> 00:45:01.349
so literally you can't miss a thing
that she does and you know she was.
681
00:45:01.550 --> 00:45:07.500
She was expressive and the genuine fear
and the genuine frustration with a situation.
682
00:45:07.900 --> 00:45:14.739
I thought, if nothing else for
her, it's absolutely worth watching because
683
00:45:14.780 --> 00:45:17.219
she was. She was absolutely brilliant. How did you find it? Cry,
684
00:45:17.699 --> 00:45:24.369
the the first forty five minutes I
was completely gripped and I was I
685
00:45:24.610 --> 00:45:29.610
was all in. I was this
is a five star kickoff to a film.
686
00:45:30.250 --> 00:45:36.280
I was I completely agree. How
performance, melody's performance was sensational.
687
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:42.360
Yeah, and her physicality, with
with very limited movement, obviously being in
688
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:49.119
in that chamber, was fantastic and
the the parts when she would move from
689
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:54.070
side to side and so on were
wonderful, really, really nicely like used,
690
00:45:54.190 --> 00:45:59.789
and it used only sparingly. I
agree that there is a point where
691
00:46:00.550 --> 00:46:04.860
I wouldn't necessarily have put it down
to to any sort of revelation, but
692
00:46:04.940 --> 00:46:08.460
there is a point where you're given
enough, you're you're dropped a few hints
693
00:46:08.500 --> 00:46:12.460
and you were like, okay,
I think I know where this is going,
694
00:46:13.139 --> 00:46:16.659
and you know you are. I
mean the smugness in me was kind
695
00:46:16.659 --> 00:46:21.090
of massage and going yes, Craig, well done, you've done you've worked
696
00:46:21.130 --> 00:46:24.329
out part of the story before they've
given it away, and that did soften
697
00:46:24.570 --> 00:46:29.090
the last sort of twenty to twenty
five minutes of the of the film.
698
00:46:30.289 --> 00:46:36.519
But I was I can see the
buried part. I I found lots of
699
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.760
source code in it as well.
You know that the things that I loved
700
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:46.789
about source code in this and I
and the menacingness of Milow as well,
701
00:46:46.909 --> 00:46:51.710
which was was wonderful, and I
definitely will go back and watch this and
702
00:46:51.750 --> 00:46:54.949
I will watch this with subtitles as
well to see if that sort of how
703
00:46:54.989 --> 00:47:00.829
much is that is ramped up by
the dubbing and so on. But the
704
00:47:00.989 --> 00:47:04.739
look of the the pod itself,
I thought was, yeah, wonderful,
705
00:47:05.179 --> 00:47:08.619
and that that the there's an arm
that comes out, a robotic arm that
706
00:47:08.739 --> 00:47:14.780
comes out, had a wonderful menacing
sort of like physicality to it, which
707
00:47:14.780 --> 00:47:17.530
I really, really like. So
I by the end of the film I
708
00:47:17.849 --> 00:47:22.650
felt a little bit empty, but
then that's part of the way that the
709
00:47:22.730 --> 00:47:28.929
story goes. Yeah, and it
felt a perfect accompaniment to, you know,
710
00:47:29.369 --> 00:47:31.400
just coming out of where we're at
at the minute, you know,
711
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:37.239
in in the world. It was
like, okay, it's you know,
712
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:43.159
it felt like a perfect bedfellow to
to the last year that the majority of
713
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:45.550
us have had, you know.
Yeah, and I knowing that it was
714
00:47:45.630 --> 00:47:51.150
filmed between the two lockdowns and so
on, it was. I thoroughly enjoyed
715
00:47:51.150 --> 00:47:53.309
it. I can't wait to watch
it again and now, you know,
716
00:47:53.429 --> 00:47:58.429
watching it with the subtitles and I'll
go and watch it on a different platform,
717
00:47:58.739 --> 00:48:02.980
different device. So yeah, it's
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wouldn't give
718
00:48:02.980 --> 00:48:07.539
it five stars, I wouldn't go
that far because of the last twenty minutes,
719
00:48:07.699 --> 00:48:10.260
but I was really, really taken
with it. Yeah, I sort
720
00:48:10.300 --> 00:48:15.250
of went went down the middle with
with kind of three stars with it.
721
00:48:15.969 --> 00:48:19.409
I think probably in hindsight, maybe
a little bit harsh, just because,
722
00:48:19.969 --> 00:48:23.409
like you say, that first that
first bit with the with kind of piecing
723
00:48:23.409 --> 00:48:29.440
the puzzle together and the performance and
the mystery of it was brilliant. I
724
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.079
mean it's so well done. It
was really intriguing. I just I just
725
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:37.840
found when when those that the story
developments were dropped, that it just so
726
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:40.789
an okay, yeah, all right, fair enough, fair enough, and
727
00:48:40.989 --> 00:48:45.710
I think I think I was geared
up for something more of a race against
728
00:48:45.789 --> 00:48:52.110
time, conspiracy theory, big revelations. It was good, but I didn't
729
00:48:52.150 --> 00:48:55.460
I didn't love it. So but
in that last twenty minutes you do have
730
00:48:55.699 --> 00:49:00.860
the Milo character, the computer,
doing that the at the sixty two countdown,
731
00:49:01.099 --> 00:49:06.699
which was incredibly tense. That was
yeah, I mean that that fine
732
00:49:06.860 --> 00:49:09.369
or sequence, and there was some
really, really great set pieces as well,
733
00:49:10.449 --> 00:49:14.969
set pieces in a tiny little box, you know, just involving a
734
00:49:15.849 --> 00:49:20.449
kind of an intravenous drip and as
there's a couple of moments with that,
735
00:49:20.769 --> 00:49:25.920
with either with either needles or drips
that in that enclosed space and kind of
736
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:30.719
the potentially fatal result of those moments. Did you know that? It was
737
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:37.000
really effective. So yeah, I
mean it's definitely, definitely worth checking out.
738
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:42.389
I say, I quite enjoyed the
French subtitles. I thought the performances
739
00:49:43.150 --> 00:49:46.429
were great. So yeah, if
if you've got Netflix and you want a
740
00:49:46.510 --> 00:49:52.059
nice tense bit of Sci Fi thriller
oxygen, it's well worth a better a
741
00:49:52.139 --> 00:49:57.900
time. So in a little bit
of little bit of Providence we came up
742
00:49:57.900 --> 00:50:01.579
with the idea for this next section
a little while ago and it was kind
743
00:50:01.579 --> 00:50:07.530
of prompted by a completely different film
and we'll go into that in a little
744
00:50:07.530 --> 00:50:09.610
bit more detailed the moment, but
it sort of links nicely into oxygen because
745
00:50:10.130 --> 00:50:14.369
one of the things that we would
sort of talked about in the past off
746
00:50:14.449 --> 00:50:21.409
Mike was films that we absolutely love
but you know, we'll never kind of
747
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:24.960
want to or have the urge to
see again in a hurry. I know
748
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:30.119
Craig he said that last week,
the last episode, when we talked about
749
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:34.039
no mad land, that he thought
it was a wonderful film but it's not
750
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.710
something that he will go out of
his way to watch and it just really
751
00:50:37.750 --> 00:50:43.789
set me thinking on for different reasons
why people might not want to revisit certain
752
00:50:43.829 --> 00:50:46.269
films. I think that's you know, we alluded to it quite early on
753
00:50:47.030 --> 00:50:53.019
in the oxygen review. Is Buried. I think it's a I mean it's
754
00:50:53.019 --> 00:50:59.219
a really, really effective, tense, claustrophobic thriller, really kind of Dour
755
00:50:59.340 --> 00:51:06.690
Down Beats. Think that I was
absolutely gripped by but given that first of
756
00:51:06.730 --> 00:51:10.570
all I am I am quite claustrophobic, it was a bit of a it
757
00:51:10.809 --> 00:51:14.809
was a bit of a challenge for
me to kind of to kind of sit
758
00:51:14.929 --> 00:51:17.409
through, because sometimes I mean just
that there's that moment in aliens, for
759
00:51:17.489 --> 00:51:22.440
example, where bishop is crawling down
the tube and that gives me palpitations just
760
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:27.639
because of how restricted he is.
So having a whole film with somebody in
761
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:31.280
this tiny, restricted space. It
did. It did kind of play on
762
00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:36.909
my fears a little bit. So
while I absolutely love it, for those
763
00:51:37.070 --> 00:51:40.949
reasons, it's probably not something I'm
gonna rush back in a hurry to watch.
764
00:51:42.070 --> 00:51:44.829
I own it and I think with
the three films I'm going to be
765
00:51:44.869 --> 00:51:46.860
talking about in this section, I
own all three, so I have the
766
00:51:46.940 --> 00:51:52.099
opportunity there to watch them. I
just I just don't think I'm going to
767
00:51:52.179 --> 00:51:57.860
I'm going to rush. We talked
about this so on a call earlier,
768
00:51:58.099 --> 00:52:00.460
earlier this week, and Kevi,
you made a really good point. That's
769
00:52:00.460 --> 00:52:04.690
actually you know, about buried about
the time that you would watch it again.
770
00:52:04.769 --> 00:52:07.090
Yeah, I think it's. I
think the thing is especially where,
771
00:52:07.090 --> 00:52:09.329
if we will, if we start
this on kind of like high concept thrillers.
772
00:52:09.369 --> 00:52:14.170
Essentially, if you go which a
high concept thriller or high concept anything
773
00:52:14.170 --> 00:52:15.000
to be honest, something like speed, you know, God get the bus
774
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:19.840
about fifty miles an hour buried.
It takes place underground gravity. It's like
775
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:22.320
a roller coaster ride in space.
Is She's try and get back to Earth.
776
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:23.760
All of those kind of things.
Generally, if you have a high
777
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:28.559
concept thriller or something like that,
that's more of an experience than it is
778
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:30.030
like, you know, like something
like the Godfather, where you sit back
779
00:52:30.030 --> 00:52:32.150
and you go, yes, I'm
going to admire this and this is really
780
00:52:32.190 --> 00:52:35.510
good. Look at that acting and
everything. But you have something that's like
781
00:52:35.630 --> 00:52:37.510
this is going to get your heart
going up, is going to make
you
782
00:52:37.550 --> 00:52:39.670
feel claustrophobic or it's going to make
your heart race. All of those kind
783
00:52:39.750 --> 00:52:43.909
of films, it's like, if
it doesn't pay off, or it might
784
00:52:44.030 --> 00:52:45.500
only pay off one so I kind
of man so to go back. We
785
00:52:45.619 --> 00:52:47.980
buried. It's that kind of thing. But what I want to do is
786
00:52:49.059 --> 00:52:51.139
if I want to watch that again, and I do want to watch it
787
00:52:51.219 --> 00:52:53.300
again. I've not seen it since
I saw it, but you're right,
788
00:52:53.420 --> 00:52:57.340
like yourself, I own it.
What I want to do is I want
789
00:52:57.380 --> 00:53:00.769
to watch it with someone, so
I can watch it with them and see
790
00:53:00.809 --> 00:53:02.610
how they react to it's the same
with gravity. I think I saw gravity
791
00:53:02.650 --> 00:53:07.329
and it's opening weekend. I saw
it with you guys, Craig and Scott.
792
00:53:07.369 --> 00:53:07.889
We went to see it and which
is brilliant, and I saw it
793
00:53:08.010 --> 00:53:13.280
two days later and I remember thinking
I was as excited about watching it with
794
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:15.199
the person I was watching it with
as I was about seeing the film again.
795
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:17.800
And I think that's kind of what
it isn't it's that sort of thing
796
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:22.199
where I doubt I'd put myself through
buried again, but I'd love to see
797
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:25.119
someone else put themselves through it and
react and talk about it more importantly,
798
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:27.829
and I think that's what it is
as well. Asn't it is if you
799
00:53:27.869 --> 00:53:29.869
go and Waich your film. There
are some films you can watch, digest
800
00:53:29.909 --> 00:53:31.389
and go about Your Business. There
are some films that you come out you
801
00:53:31.510 --> 00:53:35.309
just want to discuss, you just
want to talk about it. You also
802
00:53:35.389 --> 00:53:37.630
as well, you sometimes find yourself
in, especially in like pub conversations,
803
00:53:37.869 --> 00:53:42.699
talking about films that you probably didn't
really give the time of day or Fiel,
804
00:53:42.820 --> 00:53:45.699
didn't give them the attention they deserved
at the time. Someone'll talk to
805
00:53:45.739 --> 00:53:46.659
you about it and you're like wow, okay, so you know what,
806
00:53:47.179 --> 00:53:50.860
maybe I do need to go back
and revisit that. I won't go and
807
00:53:50.940 --> 00:53:53.139
see buried again, but then talking
to somebody about it's actually quite exciting.
808
00:53:53.219 --> 00:53:57.610
It was actually quite a really good
idea. It wasn't just high concept because
809
00:53:57.650 --> 00:54:00.929
again, when it comes to high
concept stuff, sometimes the concept. I'm
810
00:54:00.969 --> 00:54:05.210
thinking of a film with Amanda seafreed
and Justin Timber Lake some years ago.
811
00:54:05.449 --> 00:54:07.170
I think it was called entire in
time. Yeah, in time. Yeah,
812
00:54:07.210 --> 00:54:10.800
that was a high concept thriller,
but it didn't deliver, and I
813
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:15.440
think that's the thing sometimes and sometimes
they're so excited about the premise they don't
814
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.960
actually deliver the goods as well,
you know. So that's why some high
815
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:22.079
concept thrillers, if we're talking about
that kind of element as well, you
816
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:24.070
got on. You think this is
a great way to be experienced in the
817
00:54:24.110 --> 00:54:29.269
cinema, but I don't know how
buried will work on on a DVD or
818
00:54:29.269 --> 00:54:30.630
on a Blu Ray, that kind
of thing. So buried is something I
819
00:54:30.670 --> 00:54:34.070
do want to go back and watch, not because I want to put myself
820
00:54:34.110 --> 00:54:36.750
through it again, but I'd love
to watch someone else put themselves through it,
821
00:54:36.829 --> 00:54:38.699
if that makes sense. Definitely,
definitely, and that's that's kind of
822
00:54:38.739 --> 00:54:44.539
the joy of film, because before
we got hang hand over to Craig for
823
00:54:45.460 --> 00:54:47.340
some of his thoughts, Kev actually
did this to me, I think,
824
00:54:49.179 --> 00:54:52.889
because my the film that kind of
prompted me to kind of think about this,
825
00:54:52.969 --> 00:54:55.369
this segment and films that I love
that I'm probably not going to be
826
00:54:55.409 --> 00:54:59.650
in a hurry to watch again.
It's one that Kev took me to go
827
00:54:59.809 --> 00:55:02.610
and see and now you'd seen not
turn my animals before. Yes, you
828
00:55:02.690 --> 00:55:05.889
took me to go and see it. I didn't. Yes, yes,
829
00:55:05.969 --> 00:55:09.719
I did. Now, not to
turn animals. Tom Ford directed again a
830
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:15.400
thriller starring Jack Jellen Hall and Amy
Adams and Aaron Taylor Johnson and Michael Shannon.
831
00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:22.469
Hell of a cast was, I
thought, absolutely brilliant, really,
832
00:55:23.389 --> 00:55:28.789
really, really great film. The
reason, I think, more than anything,
833
00:55:29.110 --> 00:55:31.989
is there is a set piece in
the middle, and going to go
834
00:55:32.349 --> 00:55:39.179
the spoil a light as possible,
but essentially it involves Jake Len Hall's family
835
00:55:40.139 --> 00:55:47.739
basically being held up on the road
by Aaron Taylor Johnson's absolutely foul, fearsome,
836
00:55:49.099 --> 00:55:54.969
horrible get of a human and his
and his to his too, friends
837
00:55:55.369 --> 00:56:06.159
and the whole sequence is so uncomfortable
and it's so tense and is it's it
838
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:10.440
is literally like a living, sort
of waking nightmare. Is that that you're
839
00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:15.840
watching this and you're putting yourself in
that situation and you cannot, you
literally
840
00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:22.110
cannot see a way out of that
situation at all. You can't see how
841
00:56:23.309 --> 00:56:29.030
anything they could have done could have
worked out any different to how the seam
842
00:56:29.150 --> 00:56:34.619
progresses and how it pays off.
And it's just a I mean it's a
843
00:56:34.820 --> 00:56:38.500
it's a massive Gut Punch had you
know, for that reason, if I
844
00:56:38.659 --> 00:56:43.300
was to watch it again, I
would really need to kind of sit down
845
00:56:43.980 --> 00:56:47.610
and kind of be in that in
that frame of mind and that mindset because,
846
00:56:47.929 --> 00:56:52.210
I mean the film itself, I
mean goes, you know, follows
847
00:56:52.250 --> 00:56:55.210
that through. I do you kind
of wish there was a bit more of
848
00:56:55.250 --> 00:56:59.809
a visceral payoff to it. I
think that that's that's certainly how I found
849
00:56:59.809 --> 00:57:04.960
at the time, but certainly because
it's essentially two stories playing alongside each that
850
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:13.280
Amy Adams reading her ex's story and
the deck x played by Jack Jillenhall,
851
00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:16.469
and the father in the in the
story is also played by Jake Glenhall.
852
00:57:16.510 --> 00:57:22.190
Sou's basically pulling a double shift that
the story world, that the real world's
853
00:57:22.469 --> 00:57:29.510
actually feels more sort of superficial than
the story world, which feels really real
854
00:57:29.750 --> 00:57:34.300
and dangerous and grimy and lived in, and it's that part of the film
855
00:57:34.340 --> 00:57:38.219
that's really, really kind of magnetic. But again, it's just it's real.
856
00:57:38.300 --> 00:57:44.369
It's so downbeat that you really have
to be you know, a's Kev
857
00:57:44.449 --> 00:57:46.369
said before. Now it's a great
phrase use. It's appointment cinema, and
858
00:57:46.449 --> 00:57:51.809
I don't I don't see there being
a point where I am going to really
859
00:57:51.969 --> 00:57:55.250
want to make an appointment to kind
of sit down and put myself through that
860
00:57:55.289 --> 00:57:59.679
again. But I might just do
it, you know, if I wanted
861
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.679
to watch it with somebody that I
think might appreciate ate it and see their
862
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:07.440
reaction to it. The it's odd
that you say not turn on animals and
863
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:13.590
we hadn't discussed the movies that we'd
picked, but the film that I'm going
864
00:58:13.630 --> 00:58:17.789
to kick off with gives me exactly
the same feeling as not turnal animals.
865
00:58:17.829 --> 00:58:23.309
I I love not turnal animals.
I don't own it, but that that
866
00:58:23.510 --> 00:58:28.780
scene that you're talking about stands out
and Jack Jillen holes one of my favorite
867
00:58:28.820 --> 00:58:32.260
actors and I watching him, you
know, in almost anything is captivating and
868
00:58:32.420 --> 00:58:36.500
so on, but I don't think
I can go back to nocturnal animals,
869
00:58:36.940 --> 00:58:39.980
you know, because I don't think
I can put myself through that feeling again.
870
00:58:40.530 --> 00:58:45.730
You know, because it works so
well and that the first film that
871
00:58:45.969 --> 00:58:47.969
I had on my list was kill
list. Now I don't know, Scott,
872
00:58:47.969 --> 00:58:52.650
if you've seen that this. I
still haven't seen it and it and
873
00:58:52.730 --> 00:58:57.280
the reason I've not seen this is
largely down to the reaction of you guys
874
00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:00.599
that it's one film that I am
I really want to see and I just
875
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:05.880
can't put myself in the mindset to
kind of set myself down. I yeah,
876
00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:10.869
I I'm quite a I'm caught a
sort of mood driven movie watch.
877
00:59:10.989 --> 00:59:15.829
I think if I'm going to a
cinema, that that feels like it kind
878
00:59:15.869 --> 00:59:19.429
of appointment and I will make myself
go and see it if I am,
879
00:59:19.510 --> 00:59:23.860
if I have the choice at home. I tend to kind of shy away
880
00:59:23.900 --> 00:59:29.260
from those more difficult choices, which
is really strange, but but yeah,
881
00:59:29.340 --> 00:59:32.500
I kill this is one that,
you know, I like Ben waitless work.
882
00:59:32.579 --> 00:59:35.980
I really want to see it,
but I just need to kind of
883
00:59:36.139 --> 00:59:39.090
I think been because steel myself read
and weet is even said. I think
884
00:59:39.210 --> 00:59:42.929
that he would never make a film
like kill this now. That was a
885
00:59:42.969 --> 00:59:45.530
kind of young man's movie, and
I think that this is something that we've
886
00:59:45.530 --> 00:59:46.570
kind of addressed as well. Is, like Craig was saying, with the
887
00:59:46.570 --> 00:59:50.170
kind of you wouldn't go back and
watch it now, and I think films
888
00:59:50.210 --> 00:59:52.530
like the couple of films that were
on my this would be like recoim for
889
00:59:52.570 --> 00:59:55.679
a dream or gas bonot, is
irreversible. There were films that I own
890
00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:59.239
a reverse why? I don't own
reccoon for a dream, but it's that
891
00:59:59.320 --> 00:60:01.199
kind of thing where I bought them
and I intended to watch them again.
892
00:60:01.239 --> 00:60:04.079
I have seen them again. I
think I watched them, but the first
893
00:60:04.079 --> 00:60:06.559
time I saw them, or and
then I watched them once. I bought
894
00:60:06.599 --> 00:60:09.989
them once. We're in the case
of irreversable and it's that thing where I've
895
00:60:09.989 --> 00:60:13.909
seen it by never want to put
myself through that again. I think irreversible,
896
00:60:14.710 --> 00:60:16.190
since maybe with reckon for a dream
as well, with something that I
897
00:60:16.230 --> 00:60:20.469
wouldn't want to watch with somebody to
see how they react, I think we've
898
00:60:20.550 --> 00:60:23.659
buried it's something that's exciting and fun
almost because it's ever really host to ride,
899
00:60:23.659 --> 00:60:27.019
but some don't. With the reversible
and probably to a lesser extent,
900
00:60:27.099 --> 00:60:30.340
nocturnal animals. Is something that I
wouldn't watch with somebody because I don't want
901
00:60:30.380 --> 00:60:34.019
to be that. I like the
conversations it might provoke, but I don't
902
00:60:34.059 --> 00:60:36.730
think I'd want to be there with
them. Just a little thing about killed
903
00:60:36.730 --> 00:60:38.769
list as well. Cray just that
whether when I saw kill this. I
904
00:60:38.809 --> 00:60:43.090
saw killed us for the first time
during a preview, as a preview screening,
905
00:60:43.409 --> 00:60:45.809
and it was a really odd screening
because it was not no one knew.
906
00:60:45.849 --> 00:60:50.239
Everyone News of new Ben Wheatny,
but nobody knew about the content of
907
00:60:50.320 --> 00:60:52.079
it. Everything like that, and
that's that's part of the surprise of it,
908
00:60:52.119 --> 00:60:53.880
I think. I think killed this
is, as well as being absolutely,
909
00:60:54.360 --> 00:60:59.760
you know, horrific and terrifying in
many ways it's also hilariously funny because
910
00:60:59.760 --> 00:61:02.400
of the chemistry that they've the two
characters though, the Neil Maskell and Mike
911
00:61:02.440 --> 00:61:06.989
Smiley have got, works really well. And I went to see and I
912
00:61:07.030 --> 00:61:07.750
think I might have told you guys
this, but I'll just put it for
913
00:61:07.789 --> 00:61:12.190
the podcast, is I went to
see it. I think was at the
914
00:61:12.190 --> 00:61:15.150
Prince Child Cinema as a preview and
it was the film followed with an introduction
915
00:61:15.230 --> 00:61:20.500
from Ben Wheatley, Neil Maskell and
Mike Smiley and then a Qa after.
916
00:61:20.699 --> 00:61:22.739
And what they did was they came
out, they introduced the film, Ben
917
00:61:22.780 --> 00:61:25.460
Wheatley introduced the film and said Hey, guys, will be back at the
918
00:61:25.500 --> 00:61:29.699
end to do a q and a
about it, and then they left the
919
00:61:29.820 --> 00:61:34.250
cinema and we watched ninety minutes,
two hours of kill us and what they
920
00:61:34.329 --> 00:61:37.969
must have done is they went obviously
to the pub and then they'd obviously spent
921
00:61:38.050 --> 00:61:42.010
those ninety minutes, two hours sitting
around talking, having a laugh, with
922
00:61:42.090 --> 00:61:45.449
the chemistry that they clearly had together. And then at the end of the
923
00:61:45.489 --> 00:61:47.000
film, and if you remember killed
this, you remember there's no end credit
924
00:61:47.039 --> 00:61:52.960
music. It just goes silent and
the credits roll right they walked in during
925
00:61:52.119 --> 00:61:58.039
the credit rolling in silence, after
we'd just watched the climatic sequence which obviously,
926
00:61:58.079 --> 00:62:00.920
if anyone see killed this knows that
it stays with you. And it
927
00:62:00.079 --> 00:62:05.110
was literally like we're all sitting there
in silence, open mouthed, in shock,
928
00:62:05.309 --> 00:62:09.309
and they come in going why,
let's do a few day and then
929
00:62:09.389 --> 00:62:13.469
we spent the Qa we've been with
you, Mike Smiley, a Neil maskill
930
00:62:13.590 --> 00:62:16.539
sitting there or us all in shock
and then all quite jovial and obviously maybe
931
00:62:16.579 --> 00:62:20.340
a little bit tipsy as well.
And it was the weirdest Q Anda I
932
00:62:20.420 --> 00:62:22.940
think I've ever been to, but
was probably in an odd way, I
933
00:62:23.099 --> 00:62:27.380
might have had some kind of like
release that a lot of people it's a
934
00:62:27.460 --> 00:62:30.809
bit like the little shop of horrors, you know, little shop of horrors
935
00:62:30.809 --> 00:62:35.369
having its original Broadway ending, initially
didn't work with test audiences and people were
936
00:62:35.409 --> 00:62:37.090
like why didn't that work? And
I D Lee Release the theatrical cart with
937
00:62:37.210 --> 00:62:40.409
a different end into the the to
the show. Why did they do that?
938
00:62:40.570 --> 00:62:45.000
Will it's because at the end of
the show, little shop of far
939
00:62:45.199 --> 00:62:46.719
is, you get the you get
the cast come out and take a bow
940
00:62:46.800 --> 00:62:50.159
and everyone gets their applause and it's
like Oh, Great, oh, that's
941
00:62:50.199 --> 00:62:52.559
wonderful. You know what? Happy? That's actually happy ending because their actors.
942
00:62:52.639 --> 00:62:54.960
I can see that. You don't
get that with film and I think
943
00:62:55.000 --> 00:62:58.119
what I got is I got a
kind of like a release, because they
944
00:62:58.159 --> 00:63:00.429
came in laughing and joking about the
production and what a great time that they'd
945
00:63:00.429 --> 00:63:04.030
had working together, and I think
it had I've just watched the film,
946
00:63:04.070 --> 00:63:06.909
I think I probably would have gone
to bed sort of shaking coming over my
947
00:63:06.989 --> 00:63:09.349
head that night. But I think
in a weird way, even though Killiss
948
00:63:09.389 --> 00:63:12.789
is probably one of the most affecting
films I've ever seen, I think I've
949
00:63:12.860 --> 00:63:15.099
fortunate enough to have a release that
a lot of people, yourself included Craig,
950
00:63:15.099 --> 00:63:20.460
maybe never had. Yeah, APP
it's the kill list as on.
951
00:63:20.659 --> 00:63:24.659
One thing that keeps working with kill
list. It stays with me and I've
952
00:63:24.699 --> 00:63:30.210
been writing lists on instagram of like
my favorite movies and someone and somebody said
953
00:63:30.369 --> 00:63:34.449
in my horror movies, you didn't
put kill list because I was just writing
954
00:63:34.489 --> 00:63:40.289
a list of of export
movies that
just affected me and kill list was definitely
955
00:63:40.329 --> 00:63:45.719
at the top of that. And
one thing that makes kill list keep working
956
00:63:45.800 --> 00:63:50.599
in my head is that Neil maskill
isn't it. It turns up in mostly
957
00:63:50.719 --> 00:63:55.550
sitcoms things that I've seen, and
is a brilliant comic actor. So seeing
958
00:63:55.590 --> 00:64:00.869
him in that after kill list almost
works to the advantage of the film.
959
00:64:00.909 --> 00:64:03.389
It's like it kind of messes my
head. It's like two worlds. That
960
00:64:03.469 --> 00:64:11.059
shouldn't be shouldn't work together. So
yeah, and it's and the irreversible was
961
00:64:11.059 --> 00:64:15.460
also on my list as well.
I've I have seen that twice, kind
962
00:64:15.500 --> 00:64:19.420
of by accident. I watched it
after Kevin I had spoken about it.
963
00:64:20.099 --> 00:64:26.210
I went off to see it and
I then bought it and I went to
964
00:64:26.449 --> 00:64:30.650
an extreme cinema marathon, which was
a twenty four hour movie marathon of extreme
965
00:64:30.730 --> 00:64:36.289
cinema, and I was I got
four films in to be honest. So
966
00:64:36.530 --> 00:64:40.840
you know, that's around about eight
hours of extreme cinema, which is enough
967
00:64:40.840 --> 00:64:45.440
for anybody. And irreversible the one
that made me think, you know what,
968
00:64:45.000 --> 00:64:49.679
it's probably time to go home,
Craig, you've had enough. So
969
00:64:49.800 --> 00:64:53.389
yeah, just to give you an
idea of what I'd seen leading up to
970
00:64:53.469 --> 00:64:58.550
that, I'd seen Sarlow, I
had seen Tetsuo, I'd seen a clockwork
971
00:64:58.590 --> 00:65:03.389
orange and then irreversible and I just
could not go any further with that.
972
00:65:03.670 --> 00:65:09.260
So so yeah, that's that.
Those were my list, but also buried.
973
00:65:09.780 --> 00:65:13.019
I want to go back and watch
it again. In fact, I
974
00:65:13.300 --> 00:65:15.940
only saw it a little bit late
to the party, after we'd all seen
975
00:65:16.059 --> 00:65:21.530
gravity and you'd said about that kind
of Claustrophobia that buried gave you. So
976
00:65:23.090 --> 00:65:26.050
I do want to go back and
watch it again, but I'll have to
977
00:65:26.250 --> 00:65:29.650
pick the right time. It will
have to be appointment cinema, you know,
978
00:65:29.730 --> 00:65:32.650
when I'm in the right frame of
mind and O I am, you
979
00:65:32.730 --> 00:65:38.760
know, not feeling so claustrophobic as
perhaps coronavirus has made us all feel.
980
00:65:39.119 --> 00:65:41.519
Yeah, I would say. But
I would say buried is a lot more
981
00:65:41.639 --> 00:65:44.079
fun than we because I know we're
talking about it in the similar kind of
982
00:65:44.119 --> 00:65:46.400
like, you know, categories and
putting it with like clockwork orangine, irreversible
983
00:65:46.440 --> 00:65:49.030
and recruit for dreaming, all that
kind of stuff. Buried is fun.
984
00:65:49.190 --> 00:65:53.429
It's designed to be young is it's
a roller coaster ride where you come out
985
00:65:53.429 --> 00:65:55.389
and you go that was great and, depending on what you think of the
986
00:65:55.429 --> 00:65:59.349
ending, I think for the most
part you're enjoying it. It's exhilarating and
987
00:65:59.469 --> 00:66:01.909
fun, whereas I think here reserve
her reversible is more of an endurance test
988
00:66:01.989 --> 00:66:06.539
to the point where I I don't
think I would recommend it to anyone now,
989
00:66:06.860 --> 00:66:10.219
especially this day in age and the
way things have gone on. I
990
00:66:10.340 --> 00:66:14.139
think the twenty five year old me
thinking he was cool and going, yeah,
991
00:66:14.179 --> 00:66:15.179
man, I like this kind of
like French new eat all that kind
992
00:66:15.219 --> 00:66:20.489
of I think now I wouldn't.
I Will Never Watch your reversible again and
993
00:66:20.610 --> 00:66:24.170
I think that I doubt I will
recommend it. I'll only speak about it
994
00:66:24.250 --> 00:66:27.170
with people who put and I think
I've got a bit of the distance.
995
00:66:27.210 --> 00:66:30.130
I probably haven't seen it in fifteen
years and I think I've got enough distance
996
00:66:30.170 --> 00:66:31.650
from it now that I can look
back on it as something I'll never see
997
00:66:31.690 --> 00:66:34.840
again without it, hope you know, of affecting me and those sequence.
998
00:66:34.880 --> 00:66:38.760
Everyone went on to do great things
and it was a very, very well
999
00:66:38.960 --> 00:66:42.559
made film, but bloody hell,
it's hard, hard going, and I
1000
00:66:42.599 --> 00:66:45.519
don't think I'd want to put anyone
through that. I recommended it to one
1001
00:66:45.599 --> 00:66:50.550
person and she just text to me
after she'd watch the film, show it.
1002
00:66:50.869 --> 00:66:55.030
What have you done to me?
So and we we're no longer in
1003
00:66:55.110 --> 00:67:00.510
contact. So, but I do
still have I got the DVD back,
1004
00:67:00.630 --> 00:67:04.539
so that was the main thing.
That's yeah, that's the king for you.
1005
00:67:04.659 --> 00:67:08.780
Probably never to watch again, of
course. So, and I would
1006
00:67:08.780 --> 00:67:11.340
also say, to be honest,
I would even say people listening to this
1007
00:67:11.420 --> 00:67:14.179
podcast, if you've never heard of
irreversible. When you would look it up,
1008
00:67:14.219 --> 00:67:15.730
I would be very careful that even
looking up at the content of it
1009
00:67:15.969 --> 00:67:18.730
could have actually be. I would
put a trigger warning on that. Yeah,
1010
00:67:18.849 --> 00:67:23.489
big, big trigger warnings on the
reverse will if you if you don't
1011
00:67:23.530 --> 00:67:26.570
know it. Yeah, it's not. It's not a film because, again,
1012
00:67:26.610 --> 00:67:29.690
because the reputation it would there was
never an opportunity to kind of
watch
1013
00:67:29.690 --> 00:67:34.159
it when it first came out for
me and it's something that I've I've kind
1014
00:67:34.199 --> 00:67:39.320
of heard and it sort of permeated
my consciousness in that time and it's not
1015
00:67:39.440 --> 00:67:43.360
something that as as much as the
reputation of the movie in terms of its
1016
00:67:43.400 --> 00:67:48.389
quality is apparently good, the the
content if just yeah, I think they
1017
00:67:48.429 --> 00:67:50.630
would. There would be a lot
of triggers there. I think it's sort
1018
00:67:50.630 --> 00:67:54.429
of the films like at the time, Baysmore came out as well, and
1019
00:67:54.550 --> 00:67:57.150
I think, obviously a Serbian film, which has got a hell of a
1020
00:67:57.190 --> 00:68:00.300
classification history, that these are kind
of a horrific films. I think people
1021
00:68:00.300 --> 00:68:04.340
were more endured than enjoy and you
probably want to give a wide berth in
1022
00:68:04.420 --> 00:68:08.579
Jeneah. Really, to be honest, that's it. That's it. I
1023
00:68:08.659 --> 00:68:11.460
think. I think you know,
we're quite lighthearted with the way that we
1024
00:68:11.820 --> 00:68:15.130
approach these things. So it's mostly, you know, for me it's around
1025
00:68:15.210 --> 00:68:18.449
sort of fear and tension and that
that kind of nightmare thing than that actual
1026
00:68:18.890 --> 00:68:24.810
films that I endure rather than enjoy. I think the last of the last
1027
00:68:24.890 --> 00:68:28.920
of my pics of mine. Again, this is one that I've sort of
1028
00:68:29.000 --> 00:68:31.079
a did in the last in the
last couple of weeks. It's something that,
1029
00:68:31.640 --> 00:68:35.319
again, I own and I absolutely
love it. As of him.
1030
00:68:35.359 --> 00:68:40.279
I adore it, I think.
I think the way it works is is
1031
00:68:40.439 --> 00:68:45.069
so is so perfect. It's just
it's eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
1032
00:68:45.270 --> 00:68:48.510
Now there is a little bit of
a sort of emotional backstory with this that,
1033
00:68:49.670 --> 00:68:54.029
you know, it's a hard film
to kind of bring yourself to want
1034
00:68:54.029 --> 00:68:59.380
to watch because of because of how
bitter sweet it is. Little bit confessional
1035
00:68:59.699 --> 00:69:04.140
for me now is that in the
last six months I've been so I went
1036
00:69:04.260 --> 00:69:12.489
through a breakup and particularly in the
last sort of three four months, the
1037
00:69:12.970 --> 00:69:15.810
break up was kind of hit me
quite hard and then in the last couple
1038
00:69:15.850 --> 00:69:21.449
of weeks it's sort of got to
a point where I have to I have
1039
00:69:21.609 --> 00:69:29.479
to let that go and it's weird
because at the same time that there are
1040
00:69:29.680 --> 00:69:33.079
elements of that of the film that
you almost feel like when you are at
1041
00:69:33.119 --> 00:69:40.029
your lowest, do, you're at
your most pained, that you almost want
1042
00:69:40.189 --> 00:69:44.949
yourself yours, want for yourself to
just forget it so you could move on
1043
00:69:45.069 --> 00:69:47.550
and you can move forward. And
you get that. You get where the
1044
00:69:47.590 --> 00:69:53.220
Jim carry character comes from. At
your lowest you just want it to stop.
1045
00:69:53.819 --> 00:69:57.420
I don't want to feel like this
anymore, and that's a and that
1046
00:69:57.500 --> 00:70:00.659
that's you know, when you're going
through that, to you know. I've
1047
00:70:00.899 --> 00:70:03.100
I've been through breakups before and it
they were very, very difficult, they
1048
00:70:03.140 --> 00:70:06.609
were very hard and as a result
I haven't really visited the film. And
1049
00:70:06.689 --> 00:70:12.930
now at the moment, the idea
of and particularly the way modern relationships are,
1050
00:70:14.409 --> 00:70:19.930
is you almost undergo a little bit
of that that erase your process in
1051
00:70:20.090 --> 00:70:25.239
your real life as you go through
it. So you know, rather than
1052
00:70:25.560 --> 00:70:31.319
your memory being cleared of memories of
this this person, you know you spend
1053
00:70:32.279 --> 00:70:40.109
time going through your photos and your
videos and your social media and where that's
1054
00:70:40.149 --> 00:70:45.670
been together and and you work backwards
from this point of pain where where you
1055
00:70:45.829 --> 00:70:49.819
start, the most recent pictures and
the thing and and where the distances and
1056
00:70:49.939 --> 00:70:57.380
as you go further and further back, you make that realization that actually,
1057
00:70:58.140 --> 00:71:00.819
you know there was something, there
was something beautiful, and it is worth
1058
00:71:01.500 --> 00:71:06.529
hanging on too. But I think
you know the way that that I kind
1059
00:71:06.569 --> 00:71:09.569
of feel about these things and I
think it will be a long, long
1060
00:71:09.609 --> 00:71:14.569
time before I want to put myself
through watching that is I see so many
1061
00:71:14.609 --> 00:71:18.760
of these things that essentially I've gone
through and I've I've with my phone,
1062
00:71:18.800 --> 00:71:27.640
I've raised the memory of this wonderful
person and I've deleted messages and I've restricted
1063
00:71:27.840 --> 00:71:31.039
my ability to look at a social
media and and to what intense of purposes
1064
00:71:31.869 --> 00:71:38.630
she is now being raised from my
life. And that's that is bitter enough.
1065
00:71:39.149 --> 00:71:43.909
But you know, it's when you
get to that point of wanting to
1066
00:71:44.109 --> 00:71:46.300
forget it all that actually, when
you look back to those earlier days,
1067
00:71:46.340 --> 00:71:51.819
I didn't delete the photos. I
move them to a safe place so they
1068
00:71:51.859 --> 00:71:57.899
are always there's those those memories don't
go anywhere, but I don't have to
1069
00:71:58.060 --> 00:72:00.529
look at
them, I don't have
to come across them and have that pain.
1070
00:72:00.649 --> 00:72:06.529
That when I'm feeling more together about
everything, I can I can then
1071
00:72:06.569 --> 00:72:10.489
go and revisit that and I'm in
a place where I can do that and
1072
00:72:10.529 --> 00:72:15.800
I just think with something with how
effective that turn sunshine, the spotless mind
1073
00:72:15.960 --> 00:72:20.680
is, with doing that and in
having that sort of bitter sweet, almost
1074
00:72:21.039 --> 00:72:29.399
hopeful ending, I just think the
moment would absolutely ruin me. So so,
1075
00:72:29.520 --> 00:72:31.590
yeah, it's it's a really it's
a really interesting one, but I
1076
00:72:31.710 --> 00:72:34.869
just say, you know, it's
one of my all time favorite films,
1077
00:72:34.909 --> 00:72:41.149
but I just find it really,
really hard to put myself in the mindset
1078
00:72:41.670 --> 00:72:46.340
of going through that because I've been
through it before and at the moment it's
1079
00:72:46.420 --> 00:72:54.140
very, very raw and I'll find
myself feeling like, feeling like it does,
1080
00:72:54.180 --> 00:72:58.300
about feel like jold does about clementine
towards the end. You know,
1081
00:72:59.090 --> 00:73:00.409
if I spend too much time on
that, I will start to get to
1082
00:73:00.489 --> 00:73:04.649
that point and it's not it's almost
kind of not healthy to keep going over
1083
00:73:04.770 --> 00:73:09.529
that. Just be able to put
it to one side. But but yeah,
1084
00:73:09.529 --> 00:73:13.039
I mean what a film, though, to be able to kind of
1085
00:73:13.079 --> 00:73:16.800
draw those emotions and that's and again
it sort of links in a weird way
1086
00:73:16.880 --> 00:73:21.520
back to not turnal animals. That
and this is one thing I am were
1087
00:73:21.520 --> 00:73:28.149
I love cinema so much. It
is because a really great moment can draw
1088
00:73:28.909 --> 00:73:33.229
emotion out of you and can a
turn a mirror on yourself and beat make
1089
00:73:33.470 --> 00:73:40.510
you feel things. So not turnal
animals made me feel fear and and helplessness
1090
00:73:40.630 --> 00:73:45.300
on behalf of the family and anger
and frustration, and that that was that
1091
00:73:45.539 --> 00:73:50.739
was kind of real as I was
watching it. And an eternal sunshine.
1092
00:73:51.180 --> 00:74:00.489
It's it generates that sort of that
that bitter sweet but also weirdly hopeful feeling
1093
00:74:00.729 --> 00:74:05.810
that that you know that you know
love potentially could endure, and it's but
1094
00:74:05.890 --> 00:74:14.760
at the same time watching this relationship
disintegrate in reverse. It's so effective that
1095
00:74:15.279 --> 00:74:18.479
that when it kind of hits that
hits that point later in the film,
1096
00:74:19.000 --> 00:74:25.229
it just breaks your heart because it's
so bright and cheerful, but you know
1097
00:74:25.470 --> 00:74:29.989
where it's going. And Yeah,
that's just the magic of film, that
1098
00:74:30.069 --> 00:74:33.949
it can, that it can draw
that Cathartic reaction out of you, even
1099
00:74:33.989 --> 00:74:36.670
when you don't necessarily want to put
you put yourself in the way of watching
1100
00:74:36.670 --> 00:74:40.380
it again. So so yeah,
so, yes, Scott, I mean
1101
00:74:40.500 --> 00:74:44.220
that's obviously that that kind of shows, I think that you were saying,
1102
00:74:44.260 --> 00:74:45.859
like the power of films and how
they can work and everything. And Clearly
1103
00:74:45.939 --> 00:74:51.060
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind was
written from that place, probably as a
1104
00:74:51.100 --> 00:74:55.289
catharsis of what he was going through
at the moment. We seems to be
1105
00:74:55.329 --> 00:74:57.770
a very similar things what you might
be he at the moment as well,
1106
00:74:58.010 --> 00:75:00.729
which shows that that kind of thing, because you wouldn't get someone just pulling
1107
00:75:00.810 --> 00:75:03.289
that out of thin air and this
had actually kind of gone through that as
1108
00:75:03.329 --> 00:75:05.689
well and probably thought those things and
it was well ahead of its tire.
1109
00:75:06.050 --> 00:75:10.119
Yeah, really good, really good, kind of like a way of looking
1110
00:75:10.119 --> 00:75:14.000
at it. Yeah, definitely,
and it's so, so stutent, so,
1111
00:75:14.359 --> 00:75:18.079
you know, so truthful in the
the feeling of it and the emotion
1112
00:75:18.199 --> 00:75:23.109
of it. So so yeah,
so, for for you guys listening,
1113
00:75:23.189 --> 00:75:27.710
that's a rare moment of sort of
emotion and, as I say, Catharsis
1114
00:75:27.789 --> 00:75:31.750
for us here. But you know
that that's the beauty in the old encompassing
1115
00:75:31.789 --> 00:75:35.100
nature of film is that we can
we could talk about it as entertainment and
1116
00:75:35.140 --> 00:75:40.060
we could talk about it as having
that that deeper, stronger meaning to us.
1117
00:75:40.220 --> 00:75:43.380
And again, I think I think
we'd all agree that. You know,
1118
00:75:43.460 --> 00:75:46.539
potentially, as we go down this
this this rabbit warry. We could,
1119
00:75:46.699 --> 00:75:50.369
we could find other films that we
would that we would discussed, but
1120
00:75:50.529 --> 00:75:54.729
sound off on our social media,
which will give you the and if there
1121
00:75:54.770 --> 00:75:59.689
are films that you particularly love that
you don't think you could approach again for
1122
00:75:59.930 --> 00:76:03.090
whatever reason, whether it is,
you know, from a phobia, from
1123
00:76:03.130 --> 00:76:06.760
from an emotional point of view,
all that it just, you know,
1124
00:76:08.000 --> 00:76:13.359
scarred you for life. But jads, thanks for that. I really enjoyed
1125
00:76:13.399 --> 00:76:16.000
that and, in a weird way, kind of needed it. So thank
1126
00:76:16.000 --> 00:76:23.510
you. Now we've now we've got
all emotional. Shall we effectively defecate all
1127
00:76:23.670 --> 00:76:27.430
over that and go for a bit
of a pitch battle? Yeah, the
1128
00:76:27.510 --> 00:76:30.310
devil not. Let's go. Okay, so let's give it it's proper introduction.
1129
00:76:30.710 --> 00:76:44.340
Gentlemen, are you ready for this
week's pay bad? So we're running
1130
00:76:44.500 --> 00:76:47.250
quite close to the end of this, this first kind of run of pitch
1131
00:76:47.329 --> 00:76:51.369
battles, because we're gonna freshen things
up in the next few weeks. We're
1132
00:76:51.409 --> 00:76:56.569
gonna have a bit of a review
and different, different features. So we've
1133
00:76:56.609 --> 00:77:00.090
got to mix it up keep it
interested for you. But we will be
1134
00:77:00.210 --> 00:77:04.520
bringing pitch battle back again in the
future once everybody's nerves have repaired. If
1135
00:77:04.600 --> 00:77:10.079
you've not heard the podcast before and
Are Unfamiliar With Pitch Battle, the concept
1136
00:77:10.159 --> 00:77:14.640
is really simple. Basically, we
are given three things. It's an actor,
1137
00:77:14.680 --> 00:77:19.189
an item and a genre. What
we do is essentially right our own
1138
00:77:19.350 --> 00:77:24.229
pitch which we present in the form
of a picture or a trailer or a
1139
00:77:24.550 --> 00:77:27.789
sound and mood board, a sort
of Kevin's have been in the past,
1140
00:77:29.989 --> 00:77:35.100
and essentially we kind of square off
against each other and decide between the between
1141
00:77:35.140 --> 00:77:38.859
ourselves, who we think the winner
is and hand it over to you to
1142
00:77:39.020 --> 00:77:45.250
tell us who you think particularly one
of that pitch battle. So we're quite
1143
00:77:45.289 --> 00:77:49.449
honored this time out because the person
who has contributed our pitch battle items is
1144
00:77:49.890 --> 00:77:57.609
none other than the writer of wilderness
that we reviewed in our last podcast,
1145
00:77:57.810 --> 00:78:00.439
which, if you've not seen it, it's available to rent now. Both
1146
00:78:00.439 --> 00:78:04.840
Kevin and Craig have both seen it
and gave it absolutely sparkling reviews and I
1147
00:78:05.199 --> 00:78:09.760
can't wait till I'm kind of in
a place where I can I can kind
1148
00:78:09.760 --> 00:78:15.390
of watch it. So Dr Neil
Fox himself, not that one, he
1149
00:78:15.590 --> 00:78:18.310
has given us these three following items. Gentlemen, do you have your pens
1150
00:78:18.350 --> 00:78:26.470
ready doing really? Okay. So
actor is the beautiful, luminous and brilliant
1151
00:78:26.510 --> 00:78:34.539
Amy Adams. The item is a
goat and as genre, once again it's
1152
00:78:34.579 --> 00:78:43.050
come rand again already. It's our
western. So we now have five minutes
1153
00:78:43.569 --> 00:78:46.210
to write our pitches, but for
you fair people, we will be back
1154
00:78:46.850 --> 00:78:55.090
in just a minute. Pens,
pencils in, implements, quills down,
1155
00:78:55.409 --> 00:79:01.640
gentlemen. So how did you find
that one? Yeah, yes, I
1156
00:79:01.800 --> 00:79:09.399
found it. You found it on
your page. So before we before we
1157
00:79:09.520 --> 00:79:12.909
came back on the air, we
decided in the most scientific way of going,
1158
00:79:13.630 --> 00:79:16.189
I'll go first, I'll go second, I'll go third. So we've
1159
00:79:16.189 --> 00:79:19.829
decided our order. So it's going
to be myself, Craig, as the
1160
00:79:19.989 --> 00:79:25.260
man Sandwich in the middle, and
care as the crossed on the end.
1161
00:79:26.300 --> 00:79:34.020
Okay, so I will present my
pitch first. So presenting his very own
1162
00:79:34.699 --> 00:79:41.729
Amy Adams starring goat featuring Western,
it's Mr Scott Harrison, Aka myself.
1163
00:79:42.529 --> 00:79:46.689
After husband was killed in the civil
war attempting to return his GIRAFFE COMPANION,
1164
00:79:47.489 --> 00:79:53.479
Mary I'll decided to uproot her family
of five children and drive their heard of
1165
00:79:53.520 --> 00:79:58.239
a hundred goats across country to start
a new life. Can she protect her
1166
00:79:58.279 --> 00:80:03.399
family and their livelihood on this perilous
journey? Variety called it a sweeping,
1167
00:80:03.439 --> 00:80:09.310
epic empire. Said, finally,
the film that will score Amy Adams,
1168
00:80:09.350 --> 00:80:14.989
her Oscar, the sun, said
they milked it a bit. Amy Adams
1169
00:80:15.750 --> 00:80:21.500
in go west. Hey, good, very good, Verdigar, say,
1170
00:80:21.539 --> 00:80:28.260
I'm attempting to start a a pitch
battle cinematic universe now, like a previous
1171
00:80:28.340 --> 00:80:32.060
pitch buckling. There's this is a
pretty, pretty good britiant mostly I did.
1172
00:80:32.539 --> 00:80:39.649
Thank you. I wanted to get
the fabish at egg and Clart Eastwood
1173
00:80:39.649 --> 00:80:44.529
in there somewhere, but I just
yeah, I couldn't crack it. Very
1174
00:80:44.609 --> 00:80:47.409
good. Thank you. Thank you. The puns still cut. They come
1175
00:80:47.449 --> 00:80:54.479
in thick and fast a stick.
I'm fast. I was going to leave
1176
00:80:54.520 --> 00:80:59.359
it for you to say. Yeah, okay, so to go. Second
1177
00:80:59.680 --> 00:81:04.430
it's Mr Craig Wood failed with his
Amy Adams starring goat, featuring Western.
1178
00:81:06.149 --> 00:81:12.989
In a time when men rode the
trails and kept the law, one woman
1179
00:81:13.109 --> 00:81:18.939
stood alone. Strong, fierce and
defiant. She tended her goat. Heard
1180
00:81:19.020 --> 00:81:27.699
of forty. That will become relevant
later on. Alone rustlers would disswapt her
1181
00:81:27.819 --> 00:81:31.380
world. She would have to cross
the plans of America for her goats,
1182
00:81:32.090 --> 00:81:40.850
accompanied by the one goat that remained
billy this summer. Amy Adams Stars in
1183
00:81:41.409 --> 00:81:56.039
the UNFO goten. Oh that's that's
a I epic
pun gymnastics. When speaking
1184
00:81:56.159 --> 00:81:58.720
to you, you know, you
say start with a pun, so that's
1185
00:81:58.760 --> 00:82:02.989
what I started with. And and
what backwards from this brilliant, brilliant.
1186
00:82:03.550 --> 00:82:05.390
I don't. Yeah, I don't
know if I got the puns, but
1187
00:82:05.390 --> 00:82:13.270
I don't know. To see it's
so finally presenting here is Amy Adam starring
1188
00:82:13.630 --> 00:82:21.180
goat, featuring Western it's Mr Kevin
Hainey, rob are. Amy Adams is
1189
00:82:21.340 --> 00:82:27.500
making a mark, or marking a
man's world. Who is that girl?
1190
00:82:28.220 --> 00:82:31.569
Wow, she'd the fastest gun in
the West, don't you know, not
1191
00:82:31.810 --> 00:82:36.729
only the fastest going in the West, but the fastest in Ano, south
1192
00:82:36.970 --> 00:82:44.010
and east, to he he he. Hi, boys, it's time,
1193
00:82:44.520 --> 00:82:49.720
it's high noon and I'm here to
take the West back. Shit. Why
1194
00:82:49.880 --> 00:82:57.359
this girl could be described as the
greatest of all time. Amy Adams is
1195
00:82:57.880 --> 00:83:05.829
geoaight, starring gene happened as a
voice of the guy? Brilliant. There
1196
00:83:05.909 --> 00:83:10.069
we go. So brilliant. Technically, not a not not an actual goat
1197
00:83:10.109 --> 00:83:12.229
in there. But I was thinking
because initially I was like what, Gene
1198
00:83:12.270 --> 00:83:15.619
Hatton's always in decent Western's and I
know he might come out of retirements do
1199
00:83:15.739 --> 00:83:17.779
the voice of a goat. Yeah, but then I just felt the greatest
1200
00:83:17.819 --> 00:83:24.300
of all time. Yeah, Hey, guy's a brilliant, brilliant. So.
1201
00:83:24.539 --> 00:83:28.010
So, we will give you our
social media accounts at the end.
1202
00:83:28.289 --> 00:83:30.850
Sound off on those and let us
know what you thought of this episode's Pitch
1203
00:83:30.970 --> 00:83:38.210
Battle, which brings us neatly to
our tracks of the trade spotify playlists.
1204
00:83:38.329 --> 00:83:43.720
So, for those uninitiated, the
tracks of the trade spotify playlist is basically
1205
00:83:43.720 --> 00:83:49.359
a steadily growing list of movie school
music that we all love. What we
1206
00:83:49.439 --> 00:83:53.960
do is we pick a choice each
and if it's on spotify, of course,
1207
00:83:54.000 --> 00:83:57.270
because see it's a it's a playlist
on there, we add it to
1208
00:83:57.350 --> 00:84:01.789
the playlist and we're attempting to build
up a large and eclectic mix of different
1209
00:84:02.510 --> 00:84:08.310
styles and sounds from the movies that
hopefully you'll find something that you love.
1210
00:84:08.510 --> 00:84:12.819
So we have a real range and
I think you know we're get everything from
1211
00:84:12.859 --> 00:84:16.699
sort of since to Chris is got
quite a sort of a jazzy jazz style
1212
00:84:16.779 --> 00:84:23.060
and preference to here I'd like it. I like
an epic Craig as thrown
1213
00:84:23.140 --> 00:84:26.250
in a few great electronic tracks as
well, and you know, between us
1214
00:84:26.250 --> 00:84:30.729
all we're creating something I think that's
quite beautiful and it's to share with you.
1215
00:84:30.250 --> 00:84:34.449
We will share the links to the
spotify playlist at the end and on
1216
00:84:34.609 --> 00:84:40.600
our social media, particularly on our
episode notes. But in the meantime what
1217
00:84:40.680 --> 00:84:44.279
we'll do is we'll start with Craig
and we'll go through each of our choices
1218
00:84:44.479 --> 00:84:48.359
for this episode's tracks of the train. So I have kind of stuck with
1219
00:84:48.520 --> 00:84:54.390
the electronic theme and I thought it
was time that I went to my favorite
1220
00:84:54.390 --> 00:84:58.189
film of all time, which is
fight club. Now I kind of have
1221
00:84:58.310 --> 00:85:00.869
an issue saying that it's my favorite
film because a lot of people jump on
1222
00:85:00.989 --> 00:85:05.949
the bandwagon and anybody that knows me, I tend to not like bandwagon and
1223
00:85:08.340 --> 00:85:11.699
that that that rubs me up the
wrong way. So some people, when
1224
00:85:11.739 --> 00:85:14.939
I tell them fight club is my
favorite film, they do that whole really
1225
00:85:15.460 --> 00:85:19.979
and they give me a look with
their that that angers me. But anyway,
1226
00:85:20.649 --> 00:85:27.850
the dust brothers did the soundtrack to
fight club and the track that I've
1227
00:85:27.890 --> 00:85:31.130
gone for is, who is Tyler
Durdon. I'm sure that most of you
1228
00:85:31.289 --> 00:85:34.329
know who tyler Dirdon is, but
if you do, just, you know,
1229
00:85:34.449 --> 00:85:38.520
keep it on the download on social
media. But that's my choice.
1230
00:85:38.560 --> 00:85:44.439
It's not talk about it really excited. So I'm going to go up next
1231
00:85:44.560 --> 00:85:48.439
and I have I've picked a film. That's that's we have a link with
1232
00:85:48.560 --> 00:85:55.310
this piece of Music Because Junky Xcel, Aka Tom Holkenberg, he wrote and
1233
00:85:55.470 --> 00:85:59.630
composed the score for Godzilla boss come, which were reviewed earlier. So what
1234
00:85:59.710 --> 00:86:02.189
I've done is trying to link it
in and I've picked one of the tracks
1235
00:86:02.510 --> 00:86:08.300
from a different one of his movie
scores and I've gone for the Brilliant Mad
1236
00:86:08.500 --> 00:86:13.420
Max Fury Road and the track that
I've I've picked is called brothers in arms
1237
00:86:13.979 --> 00:86:18.130
and it's the secret to the film
towards the end with big chase through a
1238
00:86:18.289 --> 00:86:25.090
canyon and yeah, it's just a
really sort of intense, rousing piece of
1239
00:86:25.170 --> 00:86:28.890
music. It's again I'm it's going
for the epic. I Love Things,
1240
00:86:29.409 --> 00:86:32.800
particularly movie school music, that gets
the blood pumping and you know, sounds,
1241
00:86:33.279 --> 00:86:40.239
sounds big and sounds like it should
underscore something spectacular, and that's exactly
1242
00:86:40.279 --> 00:86:44.399
what brothers in arms is. It's
a great piece of music and I you
1243
00:86:44.479 --> 00:86:45.760
know, I think I think we
might see John Ki X. I'll turn
1244
00:86:45.800 --> 00:86:50.869
it up in a future tracks of
the trade. Kev. What's yours?
1245
00:86:53.029 --> 00:86:55.789
Well, my one comes from one
of my favorite Westerns of recently. Is
1246
00:86:55.789 --> 00:87:00.909
it's the assassination of Jesse James by
the coward Robert Ford. A wonderful soundtrack
1247
00:87:00.029 --> 00:87:03.220
by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
This is nice and simple track, one
1248
00:87:03.699 --> 00:87:08.659
rather lovely thing and lovely piece of
music and in fact the album I would
1249
00:87:08.699 --> 00:87:11.659
recommend you picking up anyway, or
just put it on on spotify and just
1250
00:87:11.819 --> 00:87:14.260
listen over it will show you.
It's a lovely kind of like. Sit
1251
00:87:14.340 --> 00:87:16.130
there, read a book with a
glass of Red Wine and listen to the
1252
00:87:16.210 --> 00:87:21.729
music of Nick Cava Warren Ellis.
The assassination of Jesse J but the coward
1253
00:87:23.130 --> 00:87:25.810
Robert Ford lives. And Gentlemen,
there we go. I'd hardly recommend that.
1254
00:87:25.850 --> 00:87:30.039
It's as Nice as the sounding and
soothing as my voice was just I
1255
00:87:30.199 --> 00:87:33.880
feel more relaxed now. A big
hello to all you truckers out there.
1256
00:87:38.479 --> 00:87:41.720
Awesome. So I will add those
tracks to the playlist. They will be
1257
00:87:41.960 --> 00:87:46.630
available as the podcast launches. So
you'll be able to pick those and all
1258
00:87:46.670 --> 00:87:50.149
of the other tracks that we've added
to tracks of the trade very, very
1259
00:87:50.229 --> 00:87:57.510
soon, which brings us neatly to
the end of our eighteen monkey see monkey
1260
00:87:57.550 --> 00:88:01.100
review podcast. Yes, Eighteen,
so I'm adults. We have, we
1261
00:88:01.220 --> 00:88:06.619
are now. The podcast is now
legally allowed to drink and vote, so
1262
00:88:08.899 --> 00:88:12.859
I'm spend, smoke, yes,
and play the lottery. So so,
1263
00:88:13.010 --> 00:88:15.890
yeah, so it will. From
next week we're going to be drunk with
1264
00:88:16.050 --> 00:88:24.689
a fag on gambling and voting or
something. I don't know. I've completely
1265
00:88:24.850 --> 00:88:31.680
I've completely lost this. They said. It's not easy trying to think of
1266
00:88:31.840 --> 00:88:44.430
interesting things to say. I'm leaving
this in. I always, I always
1267
00:88:44.470 --> 00:88:47.909
love it when we lose it's so
to bring us to the end of this
1268
00:88:47.989 --> 00:88:54.869
this monumental episode, I got to
ask a few things off you for listeners.
1269
00:88:55.270 --> 00:88:58.420
Firstly, as the thing we always
ask
and if you can do it
1270
00:88:58.619 --> 00:89:02.659
would be you know, mean the
world to us if your podcast provider,
1271
00:89:02.979 --> 00:89:10.529
particularly podchaser or apple podcasts, if
they offer the opportunity to leave reviews,
1272
00:89:11.250 --> 00:89:15.649
honestly leaving a positive review for us, even though you know we go off
1273
00:89:15.689 --> 00:89:20.130
on random, random flights of fantasy
and tangents. If you enjoy that,
1274
00:89:20.210 --> 00:89:25.079
if it makes you laugh or you
just like us, please you leave us
1275
00:89:25.079 --> 00:89:29.560
a positive review. It does help
us become more visible and means more people
1276
00:89:29.600 --> 00:89:32.439
get to listen to us. So
it's you know, it's really something awesome
1277
00:89:32.560 --> 00:89:35.960
that you can do for us.
In addition, if you are enjoying the
1278
00:89:36.039 --> 00:89:42.069
monkey see monkey review podcast and you
know somebody that likes films or just likes
1279
00:89:42.350 --> 00:89:45.909
a bit of a bit of fun
talking about films, recommend them the podcast
1280
00:89:46.069 --> 00:89:48.350
because we'd love to. Would love
to have them on board as well.
1281
00:89:49.149 --> 00:89:53.899
In addition, we have various social
media for you to get involved with.
1282
00:89:54.340 --> 00:89:59.500
What I do every episode is I
add links to each of our social media
1283
00:89:59.539 --> 00:90:02.140
or where I can't add links,
then I will add the search terms for
1284
00:90:02.300 --> 00:90:05.739
them. We have a an instagram, which is probably the most active thing
1285
00:90:05.779 --> 00:90:10.930
we're on at the moment, which
is monkey see, monkey review. We
1286
00:90:11.050 --> 00:90:15.050
also have twitter, which is at
Ms Mr Pod. We are on facebook
1287
00:90:15.489 --> 00:90:18.850
the Monkey See Monkey Review Group.
If you search for that you'll be able
1288
00:90:18.890 --> 00:90:21.640
to track it down. Otherwise,
followed the link on the episode notes.
1289
00:90:23.119 --> 00:90:28.119
Both me and Kev log our films
and wrote reviews every now and again on
1290
00:90:28.399 --> 00:90:30.600
letterboxed so you can see what we're
watching, see what we're thinking of it.
1291
00:90:31.640 --> 00:90:36.149
We will leave links for both of
let's boxed on the the show notes
1292
00:90:36.149 --> 00:90:40.310
as well, and if you're of
a mind to drop us an email,
1293
00:90:40.510 --> 00:90:46.430
we are at ms Mr Pod at
gmailcom at. That just about ups that
1294
00:90:46.510 --> 00:90:48.989
bit up. As I say,
don't worry about writing it down. Will
1295
00:90:48.989 --> 00:90:51.340
write it all down for you on
the episode notes. You just have to
1296
00:90:51.380 --> 00:90:57.020
scroll down and look. So that
brings us to the end of another monkey
1297
00:90:57.020 --> 00:91:00.220
see monkey review podcast once again.
You know, we've made it to eighteen
1298
00:91:01.060 --> 00:91:05.289
and I'm just, yeah, delighted
to be able to keep doing this,
1299
00:91:05.329 --> 00:91:10.569
keep having fun and you know,
it's it's kind of real therapy for me
1300
00:91:10.609 --> 00:91:13.850
at the moment as well, as
you probably won't be surprised from what we
1301
00:91:13.930 --> 00:91:16.010
discussed earlier. So, yeah,
I love doing this. It gives it
1302
00:91:16.529 --> 00:91:20.079
gives me a real bus to to
do it and to be able to talk
1303
00:91:20.199 --> 00:91:24.560
to three of my closest friends.
I know Chris isn't here today, but
1304
00:91:24.680 --> 00:91:29.800
he's still included in that. So
yeah, please come back and join us
1305
00:91:29.800 --> 00:91:31.989
again. I get involved. If
you want to let us know about a
1306
00:91:32.189 --> 00:91:35.630
tracks of the trade that you want
have added or any ideas for future features
1307
00:91:35.710 --> 00:91:40.869
or future pitch battles. And I
just want to say thank you to Calvin
1308
00:91:40.909 --> 00:91:45.550
Craig, because you are, as
I said earlier, the guys behind the
1309
00:91:45.590 --> 00:91:50.899
guys behind the guy. So yeah, now you're both awesome and your input,
1310
00:91:50.939 --> 00:91:55.819
as always, a bloody love it. So thank you me, thanks
1311
00:91:55.859 --> 00:91:58.500
having us, man, I thank
you very much. I I love doing
1312
00:91:58.539 --> 00:92:01.170
it every single time. FAB We
will, we will stop this loving at
1313
00:92:01.170 --> 00:92:03.689
the end of the episode, once
by a time, but just at the
1314
00:92:03.729 --> 00:92:05.890
moment, while we still got the
buzz, we're going to carry on.
1315
00:92:06.649 --> 00:92:10.409
So that brings us to the very
end, and all that remains for me
1316
00:92:10.489 --> 00:92:15.119
to do is to say goodbye.
Goodbye Jurio, by cheers.
