Back row and Chill with Johanna James and Noel Clark on Fubar Radio.
Good afternoon, everybody.
It's Back Row and Chill.
I'm joined today by Ozzie Azaki.
No?
Ozzie Achille.
Ozzie Achilles.
Oh man.
You got it right the other time.
I know I did.
I was like, I'm not going to read it.
I'm going to remember.
I'm going to remember.
I like that.
I'm going to call you that now.
Mr. Zawah.
Maybe because we were just briefly talking about Japanese films.
It's on the mind.
But anyway, thank you so much for being my co-host today.
You're filling in for Noel Clark, who is filming in Berlin.
Big shoes to fill, but I'll do my best.
Oh, no, you'll do fine.
You were a guest a couple weeks ago.
I was.
We'd like you so much.
We were like, please come back again.
Oh, you guys are so kind.
So we've got a big fun show for you today.
We've got Mark Small, who is a writer-director-actor,
who's going to be coming in to be our first guest.
We've also got Lauren Johnson, who is a makeup artist on various movies and big theatrical West End shows.
Dope sounds fun.
We've got lots of games and challenges.
We've got two doses of guest the movie soundtrack today and loads of entertainment news because there's a lot kicking off this week online and in the world of entertainment.
And we're also going to be counting down the top 10 movie soundtracks ever.
Oh, nice.
That's been voted.
That should be good.
It was voted sort of on, there was a Twitter poll, I think.
I found a Twitter article, and it was like the top ten songs that people have voted for.
So I thought, let's go backwards.
Twitter polls are the most accurate polls in the world, so I'm intrigued to see what happens.
They're scientifically and socially correct.
Yes, indeed.
So we're going to start off with the first that's been voted.
And you can I guess is what you think it was going to be?
Is this the Twitter polls?
Yeah, of the, this is number 10.
We're going to go back and we're going to...
Soundtracks.
Of song, theme to choose songs or songs from films.
Okay.
I think the drive.
Right. I think some of the drive songs will be in there for sure.
Oh.
They have to be. If they're not, then I'm just so out of touch with the world.
Drop the mic, you're out.
No, actually, so number 10, it's Staying Alive by the Vee G's.
Okay. What film was that in?
Saturday Night Fever.
Oh, of course.
So, right, let's play that. We can have a bit of boogie and we'll wake up and we'll get a show on the road.
Let's do it.
This Poppinson is Kent Jones.
And usually I like to be in the front.
but right now this is back we're on chill
how cool is that
that's pretty dope
shouting out my show
right so for all the listeners who are listening
let's just do a little debrief of what you've been up to
what you're about because you're an actor in many a movie
oh me yeah oh I wasn't prepared okay
most importantly right now for me
I guess jet trash is coming out on the 7th of December
and that's the film I did with Robert Sheehan
where we travel to India to cause
loads of mayhem and it was actually filmed in Goa
which is pretty fun and it's called Jet Trash
Jet Trash. That's hard to say
but amazing. Yeah it was a lot of fun
and that comes out on the 7th of December and it's going to be out in
View cinemas all across the country
Just in View? Just in View. We've got an exclusive deal with
View, yes. Oh my God, JetTratch and
is that like the name, anyone's name in the film? Because I like that
as a nickname. Yo Jet Trash. Jet Trash is the name
the film calls like backpackers who go to loads of really nice places
and mess it up basically.
Which is what we do, essentially.
That's what we do. That's so cool.
And just a little backstory as well.
You've been in, you were in the most recent
Tarzan film?
I was. I had a really small part in that.
It was loads of fun. I got to meet Margo Rovey,
which was a dream come true.
Is she as fit in real life?
She is fitter in real life.
Dead on screen.
Ridiculously.
I saw her briefly from afar at the premiere, the Tarzan premiere.
Yeah.
And I was, I mean, I would turn for her, you know, to be honest.
Like, I think a lot of ladies were to me.
Do you know what I mean?
It's not even, don't even think about it.
It's just like, yes, yes, I'm gay, yes.
You know when, like, you see someone who's absolutely stunning,
and then in real life everything goes into slow motion.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, that's what she's...
Just dribble a bit.
Yeah, just a little bit.
She's called her Moggie.
Hi, Muggie.
Oh, no.
Yeah, no, she's fit.
And then just when you think she couldn't get any fitter,
she then pulls out like Harley Quinn.
Yeah, and she did it so well.
She was the best thing of that film.
She was the only thing about that film.
Yeah, to be fair.
It's so good.
And I was, I went to Comic Con this year,
excited because I thought, oh, there's going to be a lot of hardcore Harley Quinn.
And they're not a scratch to her.
None of them can compare to the original Harley Quinn.
No, no, no.
But right, so what's going on in the world today?
We've got a bit of an entertainment news about what's something going on in the world.
Hit me. What's popping?
Okay, so, were you Star Wars fan?
I wasn't until the new one.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, they converted me.
I was like, you know what?
This is kind of entertaining.
You're like, oh, yeah.
I like it.
I know, fresh meat.
of the Star Wars.
So Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia,
in the original ones,
she has just revealed that when they were filming
the first Star Wars, she was actually having an affair
with Harrison Ford, who played her solo.
I know, it's only come out now, 30 years later.
Mind blown, what the hell?
They got it on after
George Lucas's birthday party, apparently.
And it continued for three months,
so they were, like, Laya and solo on set,
and then they'd go home and be.
but he was she was 19
how old is he at that time? He was 33
and married with two kids
Oh that's bad
So they've obviously waited enough time until it's like
Everything's all kind of like the dust dis-selling stuff
Wow that's a big that's a big age gap
What would your age gap be in the oldest guy you'd go for
Oh gosh
I forget how old I am
So I'm like what's appropriate
I know probably in the 30s
30s
I think I tend to
I tend to weirdly have younger
boyfriends. Oh really? Okay.
I've rarely gone
anyone over 30-odd.
Fair. Fair dudes. I heard
that the rule is half your age plus seven
is what you're allowed to do.
So I'm 28, 14 plus 7, I'm bad at math,
is 23. That's the youngest.
The youngest, you're allowed to go. The oldest.
I'm going to say double your age minus 7.
Yes, okay. Maybe that'll work.
What's that? 28, 56, minus 7, 49. No, I can't do that.
is your best?
No.
No.
You can't do 49.
I can't do 49, no.
Okay.
I think 30, you'd probably be the oldest for me, to be fair.
It's like, well, yeah.
I don't know.
Age is, it's just a number.
It's just a number until you take your clothes off.
And then it's a long.
I didn't just say that.
So that's weird.
So, yeah, so it was a real life.
That's not very rare, actually, that obviously,
they say that you often fall in love with whoever you're on-screen shagging.
Yeah.
I mean, I've heard about it quite a lot, actually.
So, yeah, it's weird.
You've never had a set of fare.
None that I'm willing to admit on Light Break here.
Already? Okay. Okay.
All right. What's next?
So, you know, Sir David Attenborough was quoted recently saying that he was going to,
that he thinks it's a good idea that we shoot Trump.
Yeah. I've heard about that actually.
So now he's been targeted and he's been sort of keyboard warriors have been going at him
and saying that he's actually had threats of people shooting him.
So it's all kind of kicked off on the, but then Twitter war,
everyone's just hiding behind their keyboards.
Yeah, it's all keyboard warriors at the end of the day.
I hope Attenborough doesn't go down, man.
He was saying some stuff a lot of people really agreed with, to be fair.
I know, I mean, he said it as a joke.
It's like, come on, he was joking.
But all jokes aside, I think if there was anybody that had an attempt,
it would probably be Trump, if anybody.
Not to get political, but yeah.
I mean, all the other presidents haven't been as hated so widely, you know.
I know, I mean, I was slightly worried for Obama for a little bit.
And then I realized that, oh, no, he's fine.
He's going to be fine.
He's fine, but yeah, like Trump, oh dear.
Okay, so what else is the...
Oh, yeah, so in the BBC news presenter called Victoria Fritz,
she went into Labour straight off air,
and she had to give birth with her co-presenter acting as the birthing partner this week.
So, I mean, I wish that we'd stayed on air, and that would have been amazing.
And be like, and now in the news.
Best show ever.
Yeah, so for the BBC, like, she timed that almost too well.
That's working hard, man.
I have this weird premonition if I have a kid.
I just know that I'm going to be the girl
that has the baby in the back of the taxi
in a traffic jam.
And then go straight back to work or saying?
Oh, I don't know if I'm going to go straight back to work.
But I just know that it's not going to be an easy ride.
There's going to be some sort of dramatic story.
I just know.
This drama seems to follow me around a little bit.
So I can't wait for that.
Get the vlog camera out.
Yeah, that'll be good.
There'll be a lot of censorship on it.
A million of hits on YouTube.
Easily.
Live birth on the vlog.
And something that's come out today,
because you remember a couple of weeks ago,
Kim Kardashian got robbed in Paris?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And she's kind of like kept a real, it's really...
And there was that joke online about N-words and Paris
robbing Kim Kardashian and the whole Kanye being
the guy who started the whole song of N-Words in Paris.
Oh, see.
Yeah.
And you can swear on this show.
I can.
Yeah.
Niggers in Paris!
I can say it.
It's boom-bar, you can swear.
So it's happened again, but not with...
not with Kim Kay, so in Paris there's a
Bollywood star, massive, massive Bollywood star
called Malika Sherawat
and she's just been tear gassed and beaten up
in her apartment in Paris, not far
right round the corner from where. So basically
there, there must be a little crew there.
And she looks quite like Kim Kay. If you're, if you're a
Kim Kay look-a-like or your rich lady in Paris.
Stay away from that area. Don't go
there. Don't go to Paris. You're a target.
Doge your suck.
Yeah, that's... That's bad, man.
Isn't it? I mean, I like Paris. I spent
a couple months there, a couple of years
go, it was working at the theatre.
And I loved it.
And now it's just a bit, it's getting...
She, like, Kim Kardashian got off scot-free compared to this other chick, though.
I mean, yeah, she got tear-gast and punched.
Yeah, that's, like, beating up.
That's pretty bad, man.
I think, Kim...
Why do they hate pretty ladies in Paris?
I know.
I love the pretty ladies in Paris.
Weirdly, they don't know whether anything was stolen on this one, so it might have been...
They just did it for fine.
It's like a hate punch, or something.
Oh, they did it for the vine.
That's terrible.
That's probably why they shut down Vine.
They posted that and it was like
Yeah we can't do this anymore
Do you know why they shut down Vine?
No, tell me
So the top Viner's there's like 10, 12 top Viner
Who apparently live in like Vine City
It's like an apartment block
You know they all have an apartment
I know it
They're also vloggers now
I think I know the place yeah
And anyway what they did is they approach Vine
To say hey we would like
We'll keep Vine alive
And we will if we'll promote Vine like one video a week
For the rest of the year or whatever
If you give us
And the X Y and Zay
and they put down their terms, they would like certain access to the behind the scenes of Vine to like delete comments and stuff.
And so they sort of said, Vine can you help us with our content creation?
And Vine went, nope.
And so then they all went, right, we're off to Instagram.
Bye!
Oh, no.
So all the top Vine has left and Vine died.
So it kind of shows that even with a massive social media structure, if all the top people just disappear.
Just leave and like walk out and strike.
I had no idea.
That's crazy because like when Vine died, there was.
loads of like compilations from the top viner's saying oh we're gonna miss you vine
so they were just being two-faced little bastards aren't they i think so rude living in vine street
nice puns pans traitor street uh right we're gonna go to our second song counting down the top
ten voted for movie songs ever so number 10 was bg staying alive and number nine i really
went to the left number nine is benny king stand by me do you know this song well you must know
this song.
I know this song.
I can't remember what a film is.
Is it a Disney film?
No, it's from a film called Stand By Me.
Oh.
Which is set, it was made in the 80s, set in the 60s.
It was like classics, but these four, three boys, four boys.
No, I haven't.
They hear about a dead body up on the railway tracks and they go to try and find it thinking
they're going to be heroes.
And it's about their sort of coming of age journey to find this really good.
That sounds fun.
Yeah, really, really good film.
And so Stand By Me by Ben E. King, number nine.
with Johanna James on Fubar Radio.
Guys, you're listening to Back Run Chil. It's Johanah James.
We're joined by our first guest today, which is Mark Small.
Thank you very much for coming to studio.
Welcome, Mark, welcome.
Hello, hello. Oh, it's too early morning for me.
It's the afternoon.
That tells you everything you need to know.
So you are actor-director, writer.
Which order do you like to put it in?
The order that's paying me the most at the time.
The best order.
The only one that counts.
That's it.
The order that, you know, you've just done a job where you can say,
oh, yeah, that proves that I do that little bit of job.
Okay, that's good.
Now it's actor because I've just finished doing some theater.
Doing To Kill a Mockingbird and the Winter's Tale.
So back to back.
Nice.
Boom.
Are you rehearsing at the same time for both of them?
Yeah, we did To Kill a Mockingbird.
And then when that show went up, we were rehearsing the Winter's Tale during the day.
And it was very tiring.
That is intense, man.
I would be scared that I would mix the lines
if I'd just come out of the wrong thing
and be like,
I objected.
No, wait, sorry.
Yeah, yeah, it's tiring,
but luckily I've decided to go to sleep
until January.
Oh, nice.
You can hibernate your acting.
Do you, well, you've done a lot of film as well.
Do you prefer film or theatre?
I prefer the...
rehearsal process acting
of theatre
but directing side
film is a little
it's a little sexier isn't it
it is darn it yeah it is
past my monitor
somebody get me a banana and a coffee
yeah kind of thing yeah also
you know you mess up you do it again
yeah so that's that's a great thing
and you know as a director you can just sit down
and go hmm yes
and then when something
someone else points out something's wrong
I was just checking that you were paying attention
let's go again
go again
also have you done theatre have you done
I did the last job I did was a play
I did a play at the Royal Court
and I agree with Mark
because the rehearsal process
during theatre is completely different to film
like first of all
you actually get a rehearsal
and that's just I was like
what is this why are we spending so much time
I love it yes
and then you go back to film and it's like oh two seconds
cool yeah we'll just do it yeah sure
rehearsal process in film is and camera
as role in that match.
Exactly.
This is your scene partner.
Hello.
Yeah. It was good fun though.
Good fun.
What did you do at the roll call?
I did a play called Torn by
Nathaniel Matarillo White.
Yes, it was fun.
It was intense.
But fun.
Yeah.
Are you going back?
I've decided after doing that I'll do a play
every two years, I think.
Yeah, just to keep myself sane.
It sounded a little bit like mums when they
had kids. Do you want to be more?
Every two years.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're going to stay for now.
Have you, either of you, have anything ever gone wrong on stage live?
Because that's the element of the live theatre.
It's the stuff that goes wrong.
I did a show last year called Enemy of the People.
And there was this raising platform.
And it was wonderful, like strips of wood.
It was a beautiful set.
Yeah.
But I had to put crates on the top of this raising platform.
And then I stepped onto the edge of the platform.
And one of the planks just came right.
it off. And
I slipped down the stage.
I still stood up, it's fine, but
I had to take this plank off of the
stage as part of the action.
You had to style it out.
Because it's supposed to be in a shipping yard.
It's just going to bench press this for like
a little bit and then you
get these guns out.
That's brilliant. Oh my God.
I think I've done, the worst
thing I've done on stage was
it was a play called
Dark of the Moon, which was this Broadway
40s Broadway show about
actually way ahead of its time a little bit.
It was very twilighty. It was about this girl.
That's not ahead of the time.
That's taking the times down.
But about this girl who falls in
love with this like witch boy
in the kind of like
Salem. Is that his name? No.
Witch boy? Which boy?
Or is that just the choice of boys?
She was called Barbara.
Which boy?
But she falls in love with this boy who's magic.
And it was around, it's set in America in the sort of Salem witch hunting time.
So none of that stuff goes down.
And she ends up running away with him in the woods and gets pregnant.
And so the town decided that the only way to get her, like,
they think that she's under a spell.
The only way to break the spell is to get her into a church,
the one place where he can't go.
And to basically get her to have sex with someone else.
So her old boyfriend with this big hench guy, like, says,
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Which boy, that boy will do it.
That one.
They get it.
The town drag her.
to the church
and then there's this very religious scene
where they're all being like
you know like heal her
so they're all there
they're all there
it's like a community thing
and so it's a very intense scene
it's very like and I have this like
massive guy on top of me
and it's all like uh
and then it goes to black out
and I'm supposed to immediately
leave the stage
go under the rat run
and then turn up for the next scene
so I get up all like disorientated
and instead of running like stage left
I just run straight to the back
and I hit all the church pews
oh no
So everyone can just hear me going,
and so like my stage,
the guy who was acting with, he kind of grabbed me,
put me in the right direction and pushed me on.
And I ran off.
And then that wasn't the end of it.
I forgot, in all of that,
I forgot to duck under the stage tunnel.
So I went smack bang into this metal pole.
It gave myself like two juicy black eyes.
But it was actually quite good because when I ran through,
my eyes, I was in so much pain.
So in the next scene, I was supposed to be crying,
I was upset about what happened in the church.
And I'm begging the boyfriend to take me back after what happened.
And I'm there like, crying.
And I can hear people going, oh, she's good.
She's really good.
That's brilliant.
So it was like the worst thing I've ever done on stage,
but also maybe my best performance.
I think people came back next week and just,
she was so much better last week.
What happened?
There was this energy, there's rawness, blood, you know.
Oh, man.
that was all good right we're gonna play a little game
oh gosh love games
because I do this thing every week where I do like
guess the movie soundtrack
oh right okay so I'm gonna play a little
X like 10 seconds of a movie soundtrack
and I'm gonna hate myself
now Noel is normally pretty
pretty hot on this
I can imagine he's quite good
oh I just realize I've lost my answers
no here we go right so
it's the trivia
it's the trivia game
so we're gonna get ready to
to play, get comfy. Think of a buzzer in your head.
Right. So just shout out
if you can think what you know if you think of what it is.
Dab. Oh, go on.
Dab was my buzzer. Um, Beauty and the Beast?
No, it's nice. Uh, Jurassic Park?
It is!
Whoa! Nice.
One pointer mark. I just saw the trailer, that's why.

Right.
Okay, we are at what we're doing today is we're counting down backwards, top 10 film soundtracks that have been voted on by a Twitter poll.
So at number, what's this, eight?
No, 10, nine, eight.
It's hard to count backwards, isn't it?
This is...
University education, you can't beat it.

You're looking good.
Okay, this is, you're the one that I want from...
Nice.
Classic.
Voted.
Yeah, no way, no one.
So let's bugge this and then I be.
Background chill.
Our Radio presents.
Harriet Rose.
This is Fubbar Radio.
I am joined by Mike Reiches right now.
In my freestars, I mean, it's perceived as political.
But what I try to do is connect through to the personal rather than the political.
And the personal is the feeling of the effects that's caused by a corrupt politician or a corrupt policeman.
And then feelings are feelings of sad.
and anger and pain
so that's why it comes out
how it does.
Every Thursday
Harriet Rose
from 4pm
on Fubar Radio

Punch stuff, hit stuff.
He's a really good actor though.
I've been a fan of his for a long time.
Right.
So the fact that you said it was Miles Teller from Whiplash
tells me that you think the film's all right
rather than saying it's Miles Teller from Fantastic Four,
which meant you hated the film.
I didn't even see Fantastic Four.
You're not missing much.
I mean, you know, make your own trip.
I missed the, like that was the remake
and I missed the other one 10 years ago as well.
I just wasn't in the fact.
You have not missed anything.
They still haven't made a proper film.
They haven't done it properly, have they?
No.
And it sucks because they had really good actors in that.
But we're not talking about fantasy before.
We're talking about bleeder.
So it's a true story about this guy.
It's all set in 1988,
89.
And I love that because I love a period.
Period.
Period.
It's still period, isn't it?
It's a wild.
And they did it very well.
Like the styling and everything and all that everyone.
You just literally look like you picked up someone's great.
Granddad, I'm like, perfect.
And, yeah, so it's about this guy who's like a young boxer.
He's a bit of a...
And what's unusual is that you don't...
You know, normally in the boxing films,
you're really rooting for the person
because you're like, oh, they're a good guy
or they're like a young...
Like Rocky or Creed or something.
But actually, his character is a dick.
He's like really up himself.
He's really arrogant.
He's not that good a boxer.
He kind of brawls more than using anything.
And he gets dropped by his management.
And he's trying to like, oh, one more shot, one more shot.
And then he gets in this really serious car crash with his friend.
They bought a new Ferrari or whatever and crashed it.
And he ends up fracturing his neck.
Oh, no.
And the doctor said to him, we need to fuse your neck together.
And he said, no, because if you do that, I'll never be able to box again.
They're like, mate, we don't know if you're going to walk.
And he's like, I'm going to box again and basically being arrogant.
So the film's about his comeback to boxing from after the car crash, basically.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's very good.
And it's like, well shot.
And I think it's the producers who are,
involved in sort of Silver Linings playbook and so it's very of that movie kind of that type
of style of movie which made me also it's almost a little bit now like um too formatted it's like
oh and then you've got that weird sound of sound not rather than a soundtrack you've got just like long
sounds like be yeah but lots of shots and it's kind of it's a little bit too arty just a subtle
inception horns yeah but it was really good and
And it was really well acted.
And I really like...
Do you recommend it then, for sure?
I'd recommend going to see it, yeah.
And the fact that I think it was...
If it was just somebody wrote that story, I'd be like...
Because it's a true story.
You're a bit like, no way.
This couldn't have actually happened.
Okay.
And they mix it.
And because Miles Teller actually looks so much like the original guy,
they use footage from the original guy's boxing matches as well.
And you don't...
You're kind of like...
Does he naturally look like him or is it like prosthetics?
No, naturally looks like him.
Oh, wow. That's handy.
He grew a little, like, Tash, I think, to be like...
the special effects budget
attached
just put a little bit of fluff
and what is amazing as well
is that he
he starts off in like the feather weight
and then when he
he gets
he goes up to weight categories
which is almost unheard of
in the boxing world
you can kind of shift up and down
but he jumped two
and so in the movie
Miles physically goes from
like a kind of feather weight
to this hit and I'm like
how well
and then he does his training
and he goes down again
and goes back up
I mean, obviously he didn't go up and down, up and they must have filmed it one end to the other.
But he physically went whole whole guard.
If he did do that, that's impressive.
But if they just Captain America did it, because obviously, you know, the prosthetics budget was just a mustache.
So they could have done that.
They could have saved it for the body.
No, I think he did.
You know, I mean, I was looking.
I think those guns were real.
So I say a big thumbs up, I believe, for this.
Is it a movie for boxing fans or for everyone?
You don't have to.
I box.
So I was interested.
Yeah.
Because I like boxing movies and I find it interesting.
But if you didn't know, like, shit's all about boxing, you could still enjoy it.
And the way that it's shot, it is all, it's kind of fast, fast, fast, fast.
So you don't, it's not, yeah.
Adding that to the list.
Bleed for this.
Go watch that.
And then I went to yesterday, where it was this week, I went to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The premiere.
Yes.
That was the other day.
Yeah, that was.
Yeah.
I had an audition and they were queuing up.
They locked off the hole as they do.
And I had to walk all the way around.
Did you, I had an audition as well.
Where were you? Spotlight.
Yeah, I had to walk all the way around.
Like literally just before I went to, what was it for?
It was for the greatest war, which is a sky arts thing.
So, yeah.
Mine was a lot of commercial, so that was a huge trophy.
Okay, so yeah, I went to my audition and then I went to,
and I'm a big Harry Potter fan.
I was a Harry Potter fan.
I grew up.
I was of the job.
generation of like your generation when we like
the books came out and the whole school
just went quiet and everyone was in the books and
you know if you anyone let out a
spoiler you'd be hated
for the whole semester yeah basically
did you dress up you dressed up didn't you
what for the premiere yeah as in did you go
as a house with a wand
and a toad I did wear like a big
it's called Fantastic Beast and I wore a big purple furry coat
I'm like I'm a beast
so kind of people saw it going
she loves Sesame Street
wrong film kid
no it was good
it was a good fit it was very very long
and
that's not the first thing
you should be saying if you think a film is good
oh it was long
but you didn't really notice because it is very
fast-paced
and there's some familiar faces
there's some familiar faces like Colin Farrell
and Eddie Redmayne but then a lot of them
are kind of like unknown so it was really weird
at the premiere because the main stars of the film
were like going down the red carpet and people were like
they didn't know who they
and then I'm like, you're stupid because in the next film
by the second film the same fans are going to be going
crazy and I have to shout out like
there's a guy
the actor who actually plays the supporting role to Eddie Redmayne's lead
The comedy guy
The comedy guy
Yeah
His character is called Jacob Lobowski
And he is a
He's a muggle
And he gets caught up, he gets bitten by this little creature
And then he gets caught up in the whole drama of the story
And he, I want to see a spin-off of his adventures
He steals the show.
He steals, he made the film.
I would actually not, I'd be a bit like, if it wasn't him.
He, he, his comedy timing is amazing.
You kind of, you travel through him into this world
because he's seeing it for the first time.
Okay.
I found it hard to associate with any of the other characters.
Is Eddie Redmayne's character not that likable?
It's, he comes across like very, um...
He seems quite arrogant in the trailers.
Very autistic, I would say.
Oh, really?
He never looks eye contact.
He's always kind of looking down and,
Um, he's just very, yeah, he likes animals, not humans and he's very sort of apologetic and he's not, he's not, he's not, he's not a hero. He's not like a Harry Potter in that sense of someone that you want to like, he's not like a Gryffindor.
Have they made any of the beasts look weirder than Eddie Redmayne?
Um, there's a lot of weird beasts. A lot of weird beasts. And they went, they went, they, it's very heavy on the, um, heavy on the CGI. And I'm always a fan of, um, practical.
Practical effects, yeah.
I mean, the beast and practical effects, that would be pretty difficult in that kind of thing, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Puppets, kind of take it back to, like, labyrinth days and stuff.
Yeah, but I like that.
Like, you know, like in Jurassic Park, the majority of the dinosaurs are practical effects.
And it withstands time because...
Yeah, because it was still pretty impressive, actually.
I love that.
So, I'd still say, everyone's got to go see a fantastic beast just for the...
For the Bants, but this guy, this one character, I really hope that he comes
back in the other films and I hope that he has his own film because he made me
nearly wet myself in the fear so it was really good right we're going to pop to our next
song in the list one of I think it's our only Disney and it's a bit of a weird one this
wouldn't have been my top Disney but it was voted number 10 nine eight seven number seven it's
the bare necessities for the jungle but classic classic on back row and chill
back row and chill jihanna james and no Clark on
Boom, counting down the top 10 movie songs of all times.
That was Jungle Book.
Classic.
For Bernal Sososos.
Right, we are going to go on to a phone interview with our second guest today.
It's Remy Vaughn Richards, who's a director of a guerrilla-style music documentary called Fargy Agba.
I hope I thought that right.
So Remy, hopefully, is on the phone.
Let's see if she is on the line.
Remy, are you on the line?
Yes, I'm on the line.
Hi.
Hi.
Yes, you are live on the radio.
Hi.
Hi.
Thank you so much for calling in.
We would like to hear a little bit more about your documentary,
which is currently screening a part of the BFI's Black Star season.
Is that right?
Yes. Beyond Nollywood, it's a subsection of that, yes.
Okay.
So basically, it's a film that took me like six years to make.
I started off as a pet project just following a friend of mine
and brought these master musicians together.
And it started following them,
and over the course of the six years,
can their lives and deaths unfold
and they kind of chart the history of
music and culture of Lagos
in 1940s to present
day 2015 really
it's a labour of love self-financed
everything it was very much
it is kind of guerrilla style
kind of raw
but yeah it was a passion project
no totally and so you over the six years
how many times did you go out
I'd get phone calls
I mean they were rehearsing they managed
to go to um they were invited
at some point to go to America in
2011. I started in 2009.
And then in 2011, they invited
to Prospect Park, Brooklyn's
festival, music festival.
So, whenever they did rehearsals,
I'd get phone call, rehearsing now.
Kunle was able, rehearsing now, come get your stuff,
so I'd just gather my equipment and rush there.
But I was always there, sort of,
in between work, my
paying work, I'd always be hanging out
and finding out where they were and just sit with them
and follow them around. And, you know,
so I can't be saying, because I look back
at now, I'm thinking, how the hell did I do that?
I don't even know how I did it.
Dedicated. I don't know how I managed to
film, you know, the one part in America
where one of them
dies on the plane, and I'm there
when the phone call. I just happen to be there all the time
somehow. I don't know.
Wow.
That's really impressive, though.
Amazing story. And the characters as well
of these musicians,
and they've got fantastic names as well.
My favorite is it Fatai Rolling Dollar?
but I
he was he's the most
character he's the one that most people know about
because he became
Kunleby discovered him
early on and he's the one that got
profound he's a real
he marketed himself very well
his complete character
so he's the one like
jane's nose straight away and he was
a fantastic character really very
young spirited
still having wives at the age of
80 something and having allegedly his children
we don't know if they're really his children but you know he was
still nursing around still smoking lots of
We'd still living the life of rock and roll.
It was awesome character.
Or a rock star.
Calling Dollar Rockstar, amazing.
And so from, so was this the first documentary that you'd attempted to make, or was it?
This is my first passion project.
I mean, I kind of make documentaries as a living in Nigeria.
But this was the one that really caught me.
And, like I said, it wasn't, it wasn't meant to be a documentary at first.
I was just recording it.
And then somehow it kind of, the more you get into something, the years later, stories
unfold and then they start to talk about history of Lagos, the music scene and realized their place.
They were kind of forgotten heroes.
They were the people that were before people that became very big.
I don't know if you know Ebenezo or Baylor's really big people.
They employed him as an instrument and then he's like one of the major characters in the music scene.
So they were like people that they weren't known, but they had a strong place in the history.
It's kind of strange how they didn't get never quite made it, but they were fundamental in
creating other people.
And how did you get it from, so you created it on your own?
And then how did you get it into sort of associated with the BFI?
Well, it's just Nadia Denton.
She was doing this series called Part of Black Star, Beyond Nollywood.
And I guess someone must have told her about it.
Because it's done the circuit.
It got awarded for this Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Award.
It got voted for Best Documentary.
I entered it for festivals.
It's played in some parts of the world already.
It even showed in Finland, the Greenland requested it, bizarrely.
I don't know how greenland, anyway.
It's shown in Spain.
It's shown at a New York African film festival.
It's been doing the festival.
Yeah, it's getting round.
Yeah, yeah.
And are you still in contact with, I mean, I know a lot of them have passed away now,
but are you still in contact with some of the band and the guys?
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, after the old boys, there's only one left.
Yeah, very sad.
And my tragedy is, because this is self-financed and we haven't got funding
bodies like you have in England in Nigeria
you know everything's down
to you and I wanted to whatever money
I get or got I would give
a percentage back to them
you know
it's kind of sad really because I would love to give them
so only one left and he's always saying
when you give me some money give me some money
you know I'll give you if I get anything from this project
you're always going to get a percentage I mean I didn't manage
to get sponsorship towards the latter end
to do the post-production
through a private
oil company in Nigeria and the Goethe Institute and another individual.
They helped me with the post-production.
And I got an airline to fly me to New York to follow them there.
So I did get some, but after I shot everything, pretty much when everything was kind of done.
And I gave them the guys some money out of anything I got.
So, yeah, it's sad, really.
It's sad.
They all died, not seeing the film ever.
Oh, no.
Damn.
Yeah.
Oh, well, at least they are, they're documented now forever, and you've got that.
And their next generation of family will have that as well.
So what's next up for you?
Have you got any other sort of films or documentaries that you want to get your hands into?
Passion projects are kind of weird because you don't find them, they find you.
I'm still waiting for another one to hit me.
Meanwhile, I'm working on some feature films, some sort of lowish budget to kickstart my drama side of me.
As far as documentaries, I'm doing a series in Nigeria.
This time I'm being paid.
It's always fun.
For an individual, again, it's all the individuals in Nigeria.
He's doing a series on the birth of contemporary arts in Nigeria.
Because before the, after the, there wasn't any contemporary arts in Nigeria,
so the British came and then established a sort of established form of art school.
So they all die.
Again, then they're 70s, 80s.
So I'm doing a series covering them before the main ones die.
the main modern contemporary artists in Nigeria, I guess.
So I'm doing a series on them.
But that's all the passion project.
It's kind of passionate at the same time,
but it's not like I'm using my own money.
I'm being paid to do this.
So I'm not as free to do what I want.
I have to follow the client's format.
But it's still a great project.
And where would people,
if people are interested in seeing the music documentary,
how could they go about seeing that?
Because obviously it is screening at the BFI on the South Bank.
my challenge, you know, I didn't, like, this is the
fashion project, so I didn't think about
the whole marketing and blah, blah, blah,
because it, you know, as one, normally
you should think about your marketing straight away when you do a project.
This was never done really for the money
or for the, so
that's my challenge now, apart from doing festivals
and again, got to try and raise funding because
again, to produce
DVDs and get it online stories,
it's down to funding, everything's down to funding.
Everything has to be self-financed.
So I'm looking for
funding to create the DVDs,
the stage.
So I don't know, really.
Not yet.
This is my challenge, right?
So hopefully soon we'll be able to be able to find it online.
And I is on, for a brief few days at the BFI South Bank, I think 18th to 20th of November.
It's on the 20th at 315 at the NFT3.
Oh, perfect.
Okay.
Well, thank you so much for me for giving us your time.
And thank you for all the crazy hard work on this film.
Thank you very much.
Amazing.
Have a good weekend.
Thank you.
Bye.
Thank you too.
Thanks, I'm.
Bye.
Amazing.
Right.
Popping on to the next song in our song list.
This is Simon and Garf uncle.
I don't think.
It's Mrs. Robinson.
Are you?
Classic.
What's this?
Let's go have a listening and you'll see.
This song just goes.
It just kind of dies.
A long death, doesn't it?
There's no.
It's just like, keep playing the guitar and it's not to get back.
Just leave the person in the studio.
Right.
We were just having a bit of a chimwag in that song about the brand.
Well, it's not brand new anymore, is it?
It's been out for a while.
It's still spent out for seven weeks.
Westworld.
Westworld.
Oh, it's so good.
We're all fans of Westworld.
The new HBO series, if you haven't checked it out, get what are you doing.
One might say better than Game of Thrones.
Yes, I said it.
Come at me, bro.
Hashtag, come at me, bro.
But we're all at different levels.
because Ozzy's right up to date.
I'm a fiend for it.
I'm four episodes in.
I'm only one episode in.
But we all love it.
We all love it.
So good, man.
And I don't know if you guys are loving it as well,
just tweet us at Food Bar Radio,
let us know how much you're loving or hating Westworld.
But if you're hating, then what?
You're not watching the same show.
I'm watching it.
The premise of it is it's set in a future world
where it's like a pleasure park,
a bit like Disneyland times a thousand.
Or like Jurassic Park.
Yeah.
Jurassic Park with Cowboys.
Yes.
And there's loads of robots who are very, very human-like, and they can't hurt you,
but they can do everything else that humans can do.
Yeah.
And you can do anything you want to them and all that kind of stuff.
And they, it starts, well, the whole thing of the story is when the, in the park, a virus is affecting the robots,
and the robots are starting to glitch, and the park is starting to, danger as approaching,
and sensing.
Yes.
There's so much I can't say because you guys, oh, damn it, spoilers, man.
Don't spoil it.
I can't spoil it, but.
I hate spoilers.
I don't want to be that guy, man.
Have you seen the original movie, though?
Of course.
There's an original movie.
Yeah.
Are you kidding?
Maybe this is why I like it so much.
This is new to me.
It's based off the movie, which was, what, 60s, 70s?
Oh, that's why.
I don't watch anything before the 90s.
Yeah, no, my dad showed it to me.
Wait, hold on.
Hold on.
That means you're going to tell me that you've probably watched the new Magnificent Seven, but not the original.
Oh, no, no, no.
I know it exists, but I still am watching it.
It's not my film.
No, no.
That's not my.
That's not my president.
But, no, there's an original film.
The original film's slightly different, though.
So it's the same premise of what it's called Westworld.
And it's set in the day that the robots go crazy.
But there's like three or four different worlds.
So there's like medieval world, cowboy world,
Roman Toga world.
And it cuts between all the different parks.
A bit like,
Disney World. That could totally happen
in this series then, couldn't it?
They should totally expand it, because this series is exclusively in Westworld.
In West World, yeah.
And it's got some of the most amazing acting talent,
and the budget on this is insane.
It's a Sky Atlantic production.
And the way that it's shot and the acting and, like...
Just the vast scope of it all.
It's just insane for a television series.
They could do the thing like they do with American Horror Story,
so season two in a different world.
Maybe you'd have the same actors.
That would be amazing.
They're the same robots.
That would be sick, yeah.
In Roman world.
Everyone in Togas.
That's your mind, Jan.
I love a toga.
And, well, we were speaking as well
because one of the producers of the show said,
oh, we've got some Westworld,
what they're called?
Theories.
Conspiracy theories, yes.
Just a theory.
And they're quite good, I'd say.
So cover your ears, if you are a Westworld fan,
you don't want to hear.
Hashtag spoiler alert.
Hashtag spoiler alert.
I may just want him a lot.
But the theory is,
wait, what was it?
You can't lay up a theory.
And they're like,
what was it?
One of the theories was that everybody,
apart from the creator is a robot
and the guests, basically,
so even the people that work in the building.
And then the other one was that there's two different timelines.
So, like, there's a big baddie,
and there's like a new kid who comes into the world for the first time.
And the baddie is basically the new kid 30 years later.
He just never left the park, basically.
because he's trying to discover the
whole of the park.
The secret, the truth of it
or whatever.
Because this park is, it's just a huge
dome. It goes on and on and on and on.
Yeah.
And, oh God, I can't wait.
So with the first conspiracy theory,
does that mean that the whole world is destroyed
and he is repopulating the world.
With robots.
A lot of Matrix.
Yeah. He's the creator.
He's the only person.
Maybe because...
It's a good theory.
He said about his partner passing away.
Yeah.
Maybe it was just the two of them left
and then...
They just decided,
we're bored.
With only humans left,
let's just build loads
of life-like robots
and pretend that everything's still cool.
Yeah.
Oh!
There's quite a sort of God theory parallel going on
because the creator,
when he steps in,
he can just do whatever he wants in this world
and it's a bit like,
you're playing God.
That's why, basically.
Or maybe he was just a loser.
Maybe there's loads of people in the world
and he's just a loser,
lives on an island.
He's the only one there
just making these toy robots from him.
It's making these toy robots.
Well, so yeah,
Check out Westworld.
If you can.
The other thing that I can recommend from my TV review recommendation is Planet Earth 2,
which is the new David Attenborough,
which apparently took something like 10 years to film.
I believe that.
Or something like, I mean, the footage that they've got is just incredible.
And obviously, David Atabra's amazing narration skills.
We were talking about the lizard pit and the snakes.
The lizard pit and the snakes.
That went viral online.
That sounds biblical.
It is, though.
If you see it, man.
It is.
Indiana Jones and the lizard pit and the snakes.
lizard-pillains.
It's almost more intense than Indiana Jones, because it's like
these baby lizards, this is their life,
this is how cruel the mother nature is,
they hatch from their eggs, and they
have to get it from the sand dunes
to the sea, and when they hatch,
the first thing that they do, when they're just learning
to, like, use their limbs,
suddenly they get attacked by like 50 snakes,
and it's like a kind of like survival,
don't fight or fly kind of thing, yeah.
So these things, and they know instantly
that these snakes are going to kill them.
I don't know how, but they should know.
And so they see,
them. That's really impressive, actually. And then they just
run, like you wouldn't be let in, like, you know.
So, it's a reptile version of
saving Private Ryan. Yeah.
Open in 40 minutes.
That's perfect. That's perfect.
Me and a bunch of mates were watching it, and we
were shouting and screaming at the TV as if
it was some sort of like sports fan.
It was like, come on, son!
You can do it!
Yes! It was amazing.
And it kind of reminded me of another
one I saw, the most, other cruelest thing
I've ever had to watch on, like an animal documentary.
It's one where these little baby chicks,
They hatch up, the mum's hatch up 400.
And the mum kicks them off to make them fly.
400 foot up of these like dagger cliff edge.
And then the mum's like, they're born.
The mum's like, all right, off you go.
And these chicks, they can't even actually fly.
That's the cool thing.
They can't fly.
But they've got to fall down the cliffs.
And if they make it to the bottom alive, they can then learn to fly.
So most of these chicks, there's like six chicks in this thing.
And like, mom kicked them out.
And like four of them just smacked, you know, squashed on the,
and then two of them managed to like,
and they kind of like
bounce off these rocks
and then got to the bottom like
and then off they go
The conversation
The conversation between those siblings
is they're getting kicked out
Oh mum's weird
I thought she loved us
I love you
Oh it's a harsh world
It's a harsh world
But you know I relate to it
It's parodies of that you know
I got kicked out when I was 18
Oh
No well I left
okay
right Mark thank you so much
for coming in and being on the show
great fun
have a good winter
seester
winter siesta
because you said you're going to hibernate
till January for your acting wise
so thanks so much
we're going to pop to the next song
in our
oh okay
a bit of top gun
let's get it in
it's Berlin
take my breath away
oh is that the one you went with
yeah
it's not the one I went with
Danger zone
Would it have been the one that I would have gone with
Yeah but this is not my enlist
I'm not fighting the people
This is the people's choice
So we're gonna go
We'll take my breath away
Jaada James
On Fubar Radio
Welcome back back row and chill
We've got our third guest of the show
Welcome Lauren Johnson
Welcome
The studio
Lauren you are a makeup artist
I am
To the stars
To the stars
That's all I tell them
They believe me
and well we've not had someone
from technically the crew
of a movie or theatre room before
we've had a lot of directors and actors
and so we thought let's get
it takes a lot of people to make a movie
or make a show not just the people
this is true
on the poster
so it's true
where did you start out
as a makeup artist
because there must be a couple listeners
who are quite into this
and don't know where to start
so I trained at
Christine Blondel makeup academy
in Camden
which is run set up and run by
Christine Blanda, who's like a big makeup designer
she did like Sherlock Holmes
and practice in Caribbean and like all these big films
but she still very much works in it
so getting trained by her is good
because she kind of is still fresh with it
and kind of that's kind of how I got into it really
yeah and do you specialize in anything
makeup wise?
I tend to stay away from the pretty stuff
and yeah
what's the pretty stuff
just like basic makeup or
like all that kind of
beautiful sort of
Instagram
are you more like
gritty prosthetics and scars and stuff
yeah
that's dumb
that's more my
that's more my
field of work
that is sick
sometimes people don't quite understand it
but I'm like
that's what I do
so yeah
so more sort of prosthetics
I do do some
be stuff
and I work with
Mac cosmetics
and they're obviously
like a gigantic
cosmetic band
so I do do all the beauty
stuff as well and theatre and film really is mainly my thing if anyone's ever got a bruise or a
disease or something like oh can i take a photo my reference book or if i don't want to be at work
i just spend an hour in the morning sorting that out for myself don't turn anyone i said that
so you worked for many years at the big west end stage show the lion king yeah so whose makeup
did you do on the lion king like what was that um everyone so basically it's a team of six people including
my manager and there's
five makeup artists and basically
we all sort of the whole show gets split
into five different tracks we call
it and so then we'll do
like you know Rafiki and Mufati's makeup
and then you'll run downstairs and you'll be under the stage
and it's all mental and like lots of
camp people in jock straps
and like dancers like there's splits up the wall
and stuff like that and you just have to run around
like grab wigs and like swipe
zebra stripes on people or like
give them like a giraffe face or something
wait so during the show they'd have to
you're in the show, yeah.
Change from different animals to different animals.
Oh, yeah.
It's like they change, God knows how many times in the show.
Each scene, they're like a different thing.
So they're either like a giraffe or they're a blade of grass.
So like literally, like, and the guy that gets the blade of grass the most is like,
I'm a blade of grass for 45 minutes a day.
But no.
Yeah.
So, yeah, they're just constantly in and out of clothes.
So we just have to be there's kind of like do all of that and stuff.
And Simba gets super sweaty.
So we have a lot of sweat checking, which basically.
means sweat dab dab dab dab dab yeah so yeah that's what I did on that and do you
prefer doing theatre or film what's your favourite makeup um I was like in three years I told
myself I'd do one and then the money was consistent so I was like okay so I stayed for longer
I love theater because they're just completely is completely mad it's a completely mad world
but I like the sense of film that every day is something different
I'm sort of, I've got a short attention span, so
the same show over and over again.
But, yeah, the Lion King was like a whole lot of fun
because they're all nuts over there.
But I think probably film, I prefer.
And what films have you been working on recently or in the past?
So the first film I ever did was Sherlock Holmes 2.
But I turned up on set the day after Robert Danny Juner left.
Put me into depression for about six months.
but I'm hoping I'll have my moment with him one day.
And then I've worked with, I've done a lot of films with Noel Clark,
so a lot of London-based films.
And then recently I did The Weekend, which is, I've got Man them on the Wall.
The Wall of Comedy Boys, who were in, I think they were in last week,
promoting the weekend, actually, or before.
I haven't seen it yet.
I was supposed to go to a screening, this week, but I got invited to the Fantastic Beast premiere.
I was like, sorry, guys, Harry Potter Trump's you.
I'm so sorry.
It's my choice.
Sorry.
But I'm going to go next week to another one.
So I really want to see that.
So that was, yeah.
There was any prosthetics in that film, or was it mainly?
Well, yeah, no, there were.
Not that I want to give too much away, because I'll get stuff on the wrist.
But Cojo plays a few different characters in that film, and one of them, he,
am I allowed to say this?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So one of them, he's like this Chinese man.
What?
Cojo, the comedian, plays a Chinese dude in the film.
He does.
Cojo.
He does.
And I won't say what the other character he plays is,
because then I probably really will get stuff on the wrist.
But he, yeah, he plays a Chinese restaurant owner, man.
But I didn't do the prosthetics for that.
Someone else, they had a different department doing it.
So, no, I did just everything else, basically.
Every day.
It was fun.
It was mental.
the boys are nuts so
it's probably the most I've laughed on a film set to be honest
I mean most of the film sets that I've worked on have been like
mature adults whereas
these boys who I didn't know who they were
when I first sort of went
to the meetings and they were like so man them on the war
I was like mm-hmm what's that like
is that like a chocolate bar
but then like yeah but they were
a whole bunch of fun
and with your sort of film
you know you basically get like all eyes all ears
backstage we were talking earlier about
stuff that goes wrong in the theatre
or live or even on set or whatever.
With the big, massive Disney shows like The Lion King,
what's the worst thing that's ever gone wrong or ever happened
or like from behind stage?
Give us the juicy past.
Yeah, give us the juicy girl.
Disney will be like, I ban you forever.
No, like, there's a lot of technical difficulties in theatre.
So the one that seems to go wrong the most with the Lion King, bless them.
is Simba has the bit where he
No, Scar falls off the rock
And like that tends to go wrong quite a lot
So he's like, they're swinging in the air
And then like nobody knows to do
So they're like, the curtains, get the curtains
Slowly the curtain comes down
And he's just like swinging
Or like he'll swing and then like
The lights are- Wait, is that what Simba's saying?
Get the curtains?
No, like just everybody backstage are like
Just draw the curtains down
And people are like, why the fuck are the curtains coming down?
It's like sit in the middle of the show
but like that or like you know scar dies
falls off the rock and dies and then like the lights won't go out
so he just he had to just roll off stage one day
in his like big eyes
oh no he's dead wait no he's no oh I think uh yeah
yeah like he wears these like big trousers
and they're sort of like a 50p shape so it's like trying to roll off
wearing those it's like a 50p coin trying to go down the stairs
it's like oh sorry sorry sorry and he went on with like two coat hangers
attached to the back of his trousers once
Which I didn't notice the whole scene.
But yeah.
I swear once there was, I heard a story about the,
there was the elephant, the four guys that were in the elephant,
they fell off the stage or something.
There's four dudes an elephant.
I'm not at that all the time and it's really bad and no one else finds it amusing.
So there's the elephant that comes down the aisle at the beginning.
It's four hyenas, all guys that play hyenas.
And there's one person in each leg,
but they've got a whole whole this huge pole
that holds the rest of the elephant body up.
And like, there's four of this.
not funny.
There's one of them.
I laugh every time.
Everyone's like, you're a terrible person.
I'm like, I'm sorry.
But the staircase is like enough for two people,
but there's, they're just, they've fallen in,
and the orchestra pit is right next to the stairs,
and they just fall in the orchestra pit, like,
quite regularly, and it's just quite dangerous,
which why it isn't funny, but I just find it amusing.
But then, so the poor orchestra pit just get it all the time
because they're constantly getting like animals falling on them
that just can't get their footing right.
And then, like, there was this one time,
where Scar was like, he stands on top of the rock and he sings this big like be prepared song
and like he has this stick and he swung it and it like landed in the orchestra pit and hit a violinist
in the face and he had to go to A&E.
That's not funny by my life.
And he's like, this poor guy only went to work to play the violin and he's just like, Jesus
this wasn't in my contract.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And once was there, there was, um, the story about the story about the story.
the gas mask.
The gas mask.
The zebra who came to watch the show
that was in the front row that scared...
Oh, fucking out.
Are we glad to swear?
Yes, of course.
Yeah, no, that was after like...
So you know, after that really terrible incident
of that guy going as the Joker
and then killing everyone in that cinema?
Oh, in Arizona.
No, yeah.
Somewhere in America.
Aurora, Aurora.
Well, basically, this fucking nut job
turned up.
well maybe he wasn't natural maybe he just really liked animals but like he turned up to watch the
line king in a full on zebra face like a prosthetic zebra face that would freak me the fuck out but the
worst thing is he went and sat in like the second row and put his hood up so i don't know if he's putting
his hood up because he's like maybe this is inappropriate how can i hide the fact that i spent three
hours doing this but like someone spoke to him afterwards like we're not all doing this oh my god it wasn't
fancy dress and like no it turned out it was like a real prosthetic piece that it looked like it was like
cost a lot of money to make.
I don't know where the guy got it from.
But he got his face done as a zebra,
like a long-faced zebra,
because he was going to some sort of like
Lion King's celebration party,
Lion King theme party afterwards.
And he was like, well, I'll save time.
But like going to watch the show
because he was like a religious Lion King lover
and then I'll just go straight.
So not only did he was he,
like he must have been on the tube like that.
I mean, like at the corner shop.
Putting his hood on like that's going to hide the whole face.
Yeah, but he had this muzzle that just stuck out.
His snout was just.
just sticking out the hood and these kids were just like
Jesus Christ and all the family were like oh we're all
going to die okay great this is the day
but he was he was just an innocent
guy dressed as a zebra turns out
not even on Halloween
I know can you imagine being his friend on Halloween
I get to do my makeup like
what's Barry going to wear this year
right we're just going to pop to
we're counting down the best

I'm like...
Danger Mouse was cool, man.
It was cool.
What was the guy, that mole with the glasses?
Penfold.
That was a good one.
I like Danger Mouse.
My favorite kids, I did like recess.
I think that was one of my favorite.
I liked Alex Mac.
It wasn't a cartoon, but it was on Nickelodeon.
It's about this girl who had powers.
And she always, and she got it from like toxic ooze or something.
I can't remember.
I used to love Harriet the spy.
Oh, that was good.
I went through a proper phase where I pretended I was a spy.
And I like just write everything down in my notebook and I go around the school listening to conversations and being like, Charlie said, at 4.02.
I used to just think I was Polka Hunters and just stand at the top of really tall things and just stick my face out in the wind.
And there just wouldn't be anything.
I would just wait and then nothing would happen.
Ah, childhood.
Right.
Okay.
moving on with our oh i like this next song um this song is used in uh dirty dancing and i think it's number
i think it's number six in our countdown of the top songs ever in movies um it was also used recently
in crazy stupid love anyone's seen that movie yes i have actually the goss the goss himself
this is using the part of the movie where he's trying he's showing how showing him a stone how he
picks up girls and i remember in the film why i like laughed and snorted i was like what you use it
this song to pick up a girl and then he did the move and I went
yeah that worked that would deliciously tan that one isn't he let's face it
yeah very Miami time in that yeah right okay you're kidding me listen to a little bit of
it's Bill Medley and Jennifer Warren into the time of my life
Patrick I'm just dreaming about about well actually the guy from the film's actually
quite alright Patrick Swayzey he's got the hips he's got my hips
Patrick Sways me
Swayze me
Right so I went away this week
And I did a little bit of research
I love I absolutely love like DVD extras
Behind the scenes
All those like things and facts about a film
That you're like
God, I didn't know that
Did you know?
Did you know?
So I went away in Fountain Did You Know
So here we go
So actually know let's entry this properly
Let's do like proper you know
Because this is like Johannes
Did You Know
Movie fact toys
There we go
Right, so in Disney
The film 101 Dalmatians and Peter Pan
Are the only movies where both parents feature and don't die within the film
Both parents' feet, really?
Both parents are in the movie and that they don't die during the movie.
Interesting.
Every other Disney film has a parent that's missing or lost or died
Like Bambi's mom dies.
Yeah.
Bambi's just a...
Bufsa dies in Lion King.
Yeah, so there's a lot of dead parents in the Disney theme.
So it's only 1001 Darmatians.
and Peter Pat, Wendy's parents
that stay alive
and are both in the movie.
Although in Peter Pan, he doesn't
know his parents, does he?
So they may as well...
Well, it's Wendy's parents.
Oh yeah, that's true.
Yeah. Mr. and Mrs. Darling.
And the first animated
film to be nominated for an Oscar
was apparently Beauty and the Beast
1991. Really?
Interesting.
Although I swear in my mind's eye
I...
I thought Toy Story got one.
I guess that was way after anyway
Beauty and Bees was first and
I thought that Snow White did but I'm gonna have to
double check about fact toys of the week
Check your facts
Do you double check my facts yeah
Right so in Bollywood
Every year they produce over
800 why are you laughing at Bollywood?
I knew that I did know that
Yes that is true
You in Bollywood films just make through laugh
I wasn't a Bollywood film one
Really? Yes that's mad
Thanks for bringing that up Lauren
You're just gonna skip past that
Do tell.
Yeah.
Jay, you skip past that Joe.
Do you tell?
A couple years ago, I was in, I got cast in a,
I was the only English girl in a, in a Bollywood cast.
And they filmed half the film in Mumbai and half of it in Slough.
Guess where my scenes were.
Mumbai!
I wish.
And it was this film about this young,
I had this like Mumbai television star, played the lead.
And also, like, a really prolific, but Bollywood actor, like,
He played the dad.
And apparently he did the voice of Shir Khan in the Disney's Indian version of Shir Khan.
He was really good to do scenes with.
I was like, shit, better like, do my lines properly.
And yeah, it was just this like, Bollywood.
I didn't get to dance.
I know what you're thinking.
And I didn't get to say any.
That was my next question.
I didn't get to say anything in Hindi.
It was all English.
What's it called?
It's called, Dad Hold My Hand.
Okay, cool.
Let me just write that.
Dad, hold my hand.
It's about this young guy who comes to England to meet his dad
because his dad, he never met his dad,
and he's got like an arranged marriage in Mumbai,
and then he meets his dad, lives with him for a summer,
and falls in love with the English girl next door,
and then he has to choose which life he wants
does he want to go back to the arranged marriage,
and India, or does he want to stay in England with his dad?
Spoiler allow, who is his shoes?
Well, do you know what?
I don't even know.
You haven't seen the film?
Because I have not seen the completed film,
and also we shot two endings,
so the director couldn't decide.
What?
So we shot one ending.
We shot one ending where...
Which one movie?
do, I don't know.
Yeah, we shot one ending where he goes off with me
and one ending where he goes off
and has a kid with the Indian girl.
That's like just the best way so no one can square it.
Too contrasting ending.
I know, and he was like, we'll see in the edit which one I like.
I'm like, okay, so I don't know whether or not we stayed together.
But what was really sad is that she, I found out
that the director of the film passed away this year.
So even he hasn't seen the end of the film.
So I don't know who's going to choose where that goes.
But technically I was in a Bollywood film.
I learned a lot and being on set for a couple of weeks.
in a Bollywood movie, very different to English.
Yeah.
Do we do that? That's not, that's acceptable,
isn't it? Yes. That's music. It's fine.
Yes.
Max and not facts. Max and the facts.
That is PC, yes.
So Bollywood, they produced over 800
movies a year, and Hollywood produced
less than half of that. So Bollywood are like on it
with their, they can churn out of movies.
The industry is huge.
It's big, man.
And they're moving more towards English-speaking movies.
As English becomes a bigger, bigger language
because then the film can do better around the world.
So they've commented on to that.
So most, a lot, well, not most,
but a lot of Bollywood films are now in English,
which is why I could be in one.
Which was great.
Okay, so the Bond movie, Casino Royale,
was the first Bond film approved by Chinese cinema.
I did not know that.
So all the other bonds weren't allowed to be shown in China.
Wasn't there a big thing about China not liking any Western films for a long time,
up until recently?
They're quite in.
independent, aren't they?
They can't even have Facebook.
Yeah, that's true.
China can't have Facebook.
Or Google.
Yeah, they can't have all of them.
They have their own ones.
They have their own Facebook and their own Google and they're...
Really?
And it's only, as of recently,
that they've started to relax a little bit about some Western stuff.
But although, so yeah, YouTube, Chinese.
So like the whole of the...
You have like Chinese YouTube stars
and they keep it all contained.
So you have to go underground.
It's like illegal to have a Facebook.
They've got a lot of good remakes though.
They did a remake of Entourage.
which I tried to watch
which was hilarious
it was great
yeah yeah
subtoters and everything
it was dope
chewing gum's like illegal there isn't it
I don't know if it's illegal
it's just banned
which kind of was the same thing in China
yeah isn't it
you're not allowed to have it
chewing gum at all
you can't buy it anywhere
my mum didn't allow me
have chewing gum either
she was like if you swallow it
it's in your gut for seven years
that's what I heard as well
I got a lot of chewing gum
in my gun
and I'm thinking that's
the older I get as well
I'm like oh crap
right we better just whiz
to the last song before
the last one. This is like
going to be a gym favourite, one of the classics
from all movies. It's Survivor, Eye of the Tiger.
Let's get our Rocky.
Yum.
Back row and chill with
Jahanna James on Fubar
Radio. I just had to
cut that down a little bit shorter because all these songs
are like four minutes long and I did, I worked
too hard on my movie facts
to let them go. So let's get back
in there. So did you know that
King Kong was Adolf Hitler's
favorite movie.
Really?
Did not know that.
I wonder why.
That's an interesting choice.
That's a weird one.
Why would he like King Kong over?
I can't think of anything else actually.
Why?
That's so weird.
The dominance of it, like him just being...
But the story of King Kong is the...
He's kind.
It's the beauty of this like huge creature who's actually lovely and falls in like, well,
has a friendship with a young lady and he protects her and he dies for her.
I don't know.
That doesn't sound like it, does it?
The story of King Kong, I'm like, oh!
Maybe we got it all wrong.
It wasn't even him.
I should know.
Right, so in the 19...
Well, we were just talking in that song
about using makeup and blood
and special effects.
And in the 1960s movie Psycho,
they used chocolate syrup instead of blood
because on the black and white camera,
blood color looked really weird and grey,
so they used chocolate syrup to look like blood.
That's a much better idea.
We should still use chocolate syrup now.
I know.
But can you imagine, it actually removes all the kind of scariness
and weirdness of the film.
The actors doing those scenes.
We've chopped of syrup like,
oh, cut!
Well, I ran out of blood on the film
I just got back from in Ibithen
and it's just, I had nothing,
so I just used golden syrup and red food coloring,
which is a common solution,
but I was like, this is a lot though, don't they?
And a lot of vampire films and stuff as well.
Yeah, but it's amazing because I am so messy
that I always get covered in it more than the actors do.
And this time I was like,
like, yum it.
Also, that,
film American Psycho was the first American
movie to show a toilet flushing
on screen. That I didn't know either. So they had a shot at the toilet
going, shh, and that's the first time. Why doesn't everybody know that?
That should be a more famous toilet either.
Exactly. In Madam 2 Shores or something, I think.
Right. All the clocks in the movie
Pulp Fiction are stuck at the time, 20 past four.
All the clocks in the movie.
20 plus 4.
420.
420. Can you explain that to me?
What 420 is?
Yeah.
Because I've heard...
420 is the 20th of March and it's...
January, April, 20th of April
and it's the World's Weed Smoking Day.
Oh!
So when you see loads of snow, it's like, oh, 420, dude, yeah, 420.
I knew that.
Or like on Airbnb when you see this is a 420 friendly household,
that's their way of saying you can smoke weed in here.
So if I say that now, I'm going to be really cool.
Yeah, totally.
Instant.
We can be cool now.
Instant.
Okay, I'm a 420 in this house.
Just so you guys knew.
I'm a 420.
I'm a good movie fact.
But I'm not actually sure if it's right.
So if there's any makeup eyes
that are listening to this, please can you confirm it?
But apparently, on
Dawn of the Dead,
the makeup budget was
mainly all put on contact lenses
so they didn't have much budget for
other necessities in a horror film.
So a lot of their wounds and stuff on their
faces is Starbucks napkins
with blood on.
That's what I've been told from someone that
worked on the project. That's crazy.
Please confirm whoever the designer is.
I'm going to go back and watch that film now.
I'm sorry. That's right by Starbucks.
Yeah, literally. Of God, they're probably going to get fined by Starbucks now.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, they are all free, those napkins.
That's true, yeah, yeah.
They're giving away. You can do what we want with them.
They're giving away. You can make Hollywood movie props with me.
Cool, cool, cool, right. So one of the last facts here, what we've got.
So the movie in Toy Story, well, the movie in Toy Story, in the Toy Store movie, the
carpet design in Sid's hallway
which is that, you know, the bad kid.
Is that the skull? Is that? Yeah, yeah, the skull kid.
It's the same carpet design as in The Shining.
So they had little like...
God! That's a bit...
I know, right? So Sid's carpet is the same as the one in the Shining
with Johnny's in the Shining. That's like a little Easter egg.
At the total Easter egg, it's amazing.
And also, okay, Home Alone, one of my favorite Christmas films.
Love that film.
Well, Buzz is... You know there's a scene when
Kevin finds Buzz's...
girlfriend's photo and she's really ugly and he's like oh
well apparently it's a boy in a wig
because the director thought it would be too mean on any girl to ever do that
they got like a fat boy in a wig
I always wonder though what the people feel like that I mean I know there's ugly
agencies but like imagine being like the deliberate ugly one I mean
I know so that's why they use this little kid to save his
fair enough somebody's got to do it
someone's got to do it right oh okay it's we're coming to the end of
show and we've got our number one
voted song of all time.
I'm afraid it's close
but it's not drive. Damn you Twitter!
You know nothing about soundtracks.
No! But next time you're on Ozzy

We'll all be drive. The entire drive
sound drive. Nothing but try. I have a drive
jacket in my house. Oh that is so gangster
man. The actual... Yeah I've bought it

drum roll.
It's I will always love you by Whitney Houston
from the film.
The body goes.
Filles.
Feele films.

But, okay.
Quite.
