This is a Fubar Radio podcast. Go to Fubaradio.com for more details. Yo. Yo, we're back. Yes. Finally. I'm back. The king is back to reclaim my throne with my queen, JJ.

He's back, baby. That was from, that was a bit of Plan B. Plan B. From adulthood. From our tremendous film. We had a little bit of throwback. Friday throwback. From adulthood.

Plan B, yeah. And that was a great soundtrack, the Addoch soundtrack. I was enjoying it. I was looking through, when I was like looking through this week's songs, I was like, let's go back to the, not the beginning. Was that your way of welcoming me back? Yeah, I was like, come on. I love you, man.

But I'm afraid there's, maybe there's some songs you won't like after that. It's all right. I vowed to save them next year, so I will save you guys next year. But I love that you thought of me and you welcome you back that way. I was like, I'll give no one, and then the rest can be mine. You give me one. It's not what I'd really like, but. Well, we haven't even started.

We got 30 seconds into the show. For everyone, we are friends, but not friends of benefits. Do you know what? My mom and my grandma recently found out what that was. Friends of benefits? They had no idea. Did they think that's what we are? Right.

No, well, now I know what it is, what it is. My mum's very aware. But my grandma, my cousin... I could be friends of benefits of your mum, though, if you want. Oh, why? Last week I had Kevin Freshwell on the show. He started chatting up my mum. What is it?

Everyone's going after my mum. I don't know. She's quite sexy. Leave her alone. She likes it, though. Well, you're sexy. Kevin isn't even chocolate, so. I was like, sorry, you're not even in the race, Kevin.

He's not even in the race, Paul. Anyway, right. Anyway, right, we've got a big show. It's the last show of the year. It's something like our 15th show or 16th show now or something like really, really crazy. I think I've done three. How many have I done? Three, two, three.

At least six. Shut up, three. I've done more than three. What cheeky little mother. We've got lots of guests packed in. We've got Lucy Patterson. She's back from her travel. and we're going to be doing film reviews.

Oh, love it. After 5.30. T.J, he's been away as well. And he's going to come back and tell us a little bit about the weird little Disney play that he's been doing. Let me understand something. So, TJ's calling in. TJ's calling in. Why is he calling in?

Like, I call in when I'm not here. It's my show. Like, why is he calling me? Because he wants to be part of it. He wants to be part of the family. Football family. And I don't know. He just wants to feel involved.

Let's let him feel involved. I like T. We've also got the girls from Muted the Musical. Jade Adams from the Soho Theatre She's one of apparently Dawn French Has like said that she is like the next Her. Her or yeah apparently so

I think Jade would probably rather be the first Jade than Well yeah I think she is the first Jade Adams I'm not speaking for her obviously I'm sure that's a compliment that she won like the The funniest, funniest woman of the year Is she coming in? She better be funny when she comes in I know like pressure right when you get given a title

You're like the funniest woman a year I better be laughing by the time leave or I'm revoking your title. It's like strongest man of the year and stuff like that. Like you can never, you know can never be seen not being strong. I know. Because they'll just like rip it out of you. You have to always be able to lift a car at any one time.

At any time. Yeah. Hey bro, lift the car. But no. Thought you're strongest man the year. Well, clearly not. Right. So, big, big show, lots of fun. And then Christmas, you know Christmas is like next Sunday, not this Sunday, next Sunday.

Is it a Sunday? It's a Sunday, Christmas. So people got less excuse to not go church now because actually on a Sunday. It's on a Sunday. And that means that Christmas Eve is on a Saturday. You're clearly in the Christmas spirit. Jahana is very sparkly. Yeah, well, you'll see us later in Facebook Live.

I basically wore as much Christmas glitter. I'm going to hijack the Facebook Live today. When they go on Facebook Live, I'm going to go on mine as well just because. You're just going to do it? Just going to do it randomly. All right. If I remember. Go on.

Am I going to know when we're on? Yeah, we'll get notified by the little minions when we're going live. But I'm incredibly glittery, all on my face. Basically, I had a big Christmas party. Did you fall in like a pool of glitter and glue? I slept in a pool of glitter in the Christmas party, and I just thought I'd keep it going. I'll just keep rolling.

Rolling in. I feel like you did that. You look very sparkling, but you look great, by the way. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Right, so a little bit of entertainment news. What's going on in the world? What's happening?

Well, obviously, it's coming up to Oscar time. Season. Oscar season. Man, have I been good, guys, you film buffs out there that should be listening to the show because it's supposed to be a film show. Guys, I got some great DVDs, man. I can't give them to you, obviously,

but I'm going to be watching a lot of films over Christmas, so. So you get sent it all? I get sent all the Oscar-e-Bathory stuff, yeah. All right for some. I know. Well, it was the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations were released this week.

And, yeah, there's a couple things. Everyone is going absolutely goo-gar for La La Land. Got it. Yeah, have you got it? Yes, I do. Sorry, we're coming around and watching that. Um, we... Yeah, you can borrow it.

Yes, we like, um, I haven't seen it. I've only ever seen, like, you know, the bits of bobs. But apparently Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are getting like big nods. But interestingly, they're not nominated for, uh, ensemble cast. No, they weren't. So only, only, they were only nominated for the, for the actor, two actors. Um, ensemble cast nominations went to Manchester by the sea. Mm-hmm.

Um, and what else we got here? Moonlight? Moonlight. Yeah, Moonlight. Seen that. Captain Fantastic. Denzel Washington for fences. Again, I haven't seen it, but I've seen it's the trailer where Denzel Washington, it's set in the past.

Yeah. It's a period piece, yeah. Best actress Emily Blunt for Girl on the Train. Have you checked out Girl on the Train yet? No, haven't. She was good in that. Apparently she was pregnant while she was filming it, so she was having to play this, like, completely chronically ill, alcoholic. While she was pregnant.

Blooming and pregnant. It's supposed to be with the glow. Merrill Streep and Best Actress for Florence Foster Jenkins. Oh, Downton Abbey. So Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones and the Crown. There's a lot of British-y. All up for and Best on something. That's interesting that the Crown has snuck in there

since the Crown is still relatively new. Really new. But that's amazing that that snuck in there. And I like the fact that Stranger Things is there because obviously that was a really kind of big show this year that did well for a lot of people. Yeah, I'm super happy about that. Interestingly, if we feel the Westworld is in there,

which has got a lot of mixed stuff, so it's pretty cool that they've managed to... I'm... Because I watch West World with my friend Joe, and he lives in Leeds, so we can only catch up whenever he comes down to London and, like, Christ versus. So we were watching... We were on the last, second to last episode

this afternoon, then I had to come to the show. So hopefully tonight we're going to be able to feel... Don't sound so sad about it. You're like, well, yeah, then I don't have to come to the show. Well, it's the... Penultimate... No, no, penultimate. It's the end. It's the last one of the season. It is the last one. Although I'm pretty sure She says she didn't

I'm pretty sure one of our Producer's women told me that last week's was the last one which is why I was on the phone dressed up like Muhammad Ali looking like a lunatic in the middle of the woods Because I was told last week was the last one By Natalie This is the last thing

Natalie, her name's Natalie She's quite sexy that she She'd send some emails in Let's get her a little Christmas loving or something If anyone does want to email in the show We will shout you out so it's chill at foobaradio.com email in let's know what... Tell me how much you love Natalie and what you want to give her for Christmas.

And also what movies you're looking forward to you and what you like on who you think should win awards and whatnot. Because I saw Manchester by the sea, went to a screening of that and I went in just as an open book. Yeah, you said it was brilliant. I was really... I went through all the feels. I have a question for you guys quickly before we get on to... Did you guys cover the British Independent Film Awards a couple weeks back, the Biffers? I don't. I wasn't here, but...

No, I don't think we talked about it. I'd love an email from you guys who are listening to answer me a question. When you look at films that we've done, like, Brotherhood and stuff like that, that is British and Independent, I'd love you guys to tell me why you think that although it is the very definition of British and Independent

why we get no British Independent Film Award nominations. I know why I think, but we'd be good to hear from you guys what you think. So you've got to... To get a biffa, it has to be an independent movie. Okay, so who won that? I didn't watch it or pay any attention once we weren't nominated. I see.

Okay, yeah, that's weird the way you went, because you're one of the most prominent British... I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about the film as a whole and the cast as a whole, and Arnold and everyone. It's like the very definition of British and independent are our films. This year, our film, the only films ahead of our film this year,

in terms of British films, are Eddie the Eagle the Danish girl big Oscar movie right Eddie Redmayne and I in the Sky which is a big movie from Helen Mirren

then Brotherhood is fourth and we beat the office movie we beat street cat named Bob we beat Florence Foster Jenkins which is on this sag list here we beat Swallows and Amazons we beat I Daniel Blake which is the Ken Lodge film

and we beat high rise by Ben Wheatley which was a massive film as well so we're forth so how come we're British Independent and we don't get any nominations food food Thoughts, filmmakers. Food for

Thoughts. Yeah, I wonder why. If you have a thing, be brave, email's in. Yeah, be brave. You know, I don't give a fuck. Say what you want. I'll read it out. Yeah, we'll see. Well, yeah, I'll be honest, because maybe someone want to hit the nail on head, why? Yeah, because I think I know why, but, hmm, be interested to know what you guys think. Anyway. Hmm. Hmm. Okay, dokey.

What's come out this week, sort of whizzing around the internet is that the new trailer for Dunkirk, it's Christopher Nolan's World War II. With Harry Stiles from one direction. With Harry Styles from one direction. When he shoots people, does he say, that's makes you dead it for

no no um i mean i don't know like harry stars is beautiful can he act nobody knows um he's all right looking

he's not clark out here is he but he's not bad looking he's not he's a bit younger he's got some years on me he's a bit younger a girl would would you know

lie down for harry let's just say what do you think they don't lie down for me well she he's very young you know he's got the age on his side doesn't he

man's a sugar daddy um um but i don't know i mean it's got a really amazing cast. It does. Amazing cast. Kenneth Branner, Tom Hardy, it's like proper British

British royalty in there. But I don't know whether stuff stars, White Woodstiles have got the role if he wasn't Harry Styles or is he in there because he's drawing in the millions of ladies? I don't know. I mean, my understanding is that my understanding, I could be wrong, is that he auditioned for the part and got the part, but again, would he have got the audition if he wasn't who he was? There's a million, you know, looking at that part,

and I've not seen the film but I'm assuming that there's nothing spectacular that says that he had to do it so there's a million and one young white actors that could have auditioned for that part and I don't know how many of them did I wonder if though because you know when someone is so well known

or if they're trying to make a transition from one sort of side of the industry to the other whether or not I'm going to be able to completely get into the story if I'm going to be like that's Harry's yeah is he going to burst into song any minute or is he going to look to camera and be like that's what makes you beautiful

He could surprise us and be unrecognizable. Well, yeah. All that, you know. I'm going to give everyone a fair. Regardless of that, he's still got an advantage to suddenly be in a big film like that that other actors worked for for a long, long time. And a lot of you listeners that want to be actors

just wouldn't have got the opportunity. And he probably got that opportunity because he is Harry Stars. Because he's Harry Styles. Well. Rogue One, Star Wars. So that came out yesterday. Yeah.

And I didn't get done this week's just been mentored. didn't get a chance to go see it, but it's on my list this weekend. And I've asked people who have gone to see it, and they've been really surprised. Even people who weren't Star Wars fans and were a little bit confused, they still enjoyed it as a movie. I will be watching that. I have friends in there, obviously.

Riz Ahmed and someone else, I forget. But, you know, I will definitely be watching that. You forget your friends? Not really, he's a mate. But I can't remember who you have one is, so they can't be that much of Rames. Professional friend. Yes, I'm really excited about sort of,

go on and what's what's coming up i mean christmas is this is really top cinema our time there's loads of stuff yeah coming out boxing day um do you know what's out on boxing day brotherhood oh on DVD and blu-ray and blue are you a blu-ray or you DVD person i don't care i don't care to be honest just whatever whatever turns up to be honest i don't really buy any i get loads during this season for the award season which i'm not really allowed to share but um no they can't see me thinking it can't see it can't see You can see the wink. I don't really buy any anymore.

I always buy on like, I'll Netflix it or iTunes it or whatever. Do you know what's coming to Netflix? Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Netflix has just bought all the season. Interesting. I'm really, it's another generation that's going to, because I watch that, you know, back in the day. And now it's going to be a whole new generation.

Can you think, can you do the song? What, the beginning? Yeah, can you do the song, yeah. In West Philadelphia, Barn and Reade. on the playground is where I spent most of my days chilling out, maxed and relaxing old cool and shooting some people outside of school and a couple of guys. They erupts no good.

yeah dude right we sound like we could rob a bank come on Clarkian James No we sound like Sharky and George Do you remember that cartoon Sharky and George? No No before your time was it Before I was born

No okay Right we were just talking about Top films that are getting a little Oscary nominationary things, which is Manchester by the Sea, La La Land. I thought I was going to play you guys a little trailer snippet to see if you guys want to go and see. So this is a little snippet of Manchester by the Sea with Casey Afflex, Ben Afflex little bro, who's actually very, very, very good, and he's now nominated for a lot of awards.

So let's have a little listen to this. If you could take one guy to an island with you and you knew you'd be safe because he was the best man, he was going to keep you happy if it was between me and your father. Who would you take? My daddy. I didn't think you're wrong about that. I don't understand. Which part are you having trouble with?

Well, I can't be his guardian. Well, your brother provided for your nephew's upkeep. Nobody can appreciate what you've been through. And if you really feel you can't take this on, you know, that's your right. Why we got into the orphanage? Shut up. Get a car. Do you want to be his guardian?

Well, he doesn't want to be my guardian, for Christ's sakes. We've already got a house. We're trying to lose some kids at this point. How's Patrick doing? Well, he doesn't really open up with me. You don't want to be my guardian? That's fine with me. Not there.

It's just the logistics. All my friends are here. I got two girlfriends, and I'm in a band. You're a Janada and Quincy. What the hell do you care where you live? There's something wrong with me. Do you want me to call your friends? What do you want me to do?

I'm not going to bother you. I'll just sit here until you calm. All right, I'm calming it. Would you please just go away? No. Fantastic movie. That sounds interesting. But it was...

You said it was great. It was heavy. So I left... It was a weird experience because I saw that, and I left, and then I ran straight over. the road to go and watch the room. Wanted to get a fly?

There's a flying in there. Fucking wind me up. I smash his old play. I hate flies, man. So that was Manchester by the sea. And this is a little snippet from La La Land, which is Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. I'll tell you something about Manchester in a minute after we do this. All right, let's have a little look at La La. Because this is a modern day musical set in

LA. And yeah, apparently it's the magic. They've done many a film together. They've got like, it's the classic chemistry of Gosling and So let's see how this is. Two options. You either follow my rules or follow my rules. Capit. Thank you.

I can do it a different way. No, that's fine. Thank you very. You're fired. It's Christmas. Yeah, I see the decorations. Good luck in the new year. It's pretty strange that we keep running into each other.

Maybe it means something. I doubt it. Yeah, I don't think so. You could just write your own roles, you know, write something that's as interesting as you are. What are you going to do? I'm my own club. What happened every time? I think so

How are you going to be a revolutionary If you're such a traditionalist You're holding on to the past But jazz is about the future Yes you are Maybe I'm not It's like a pipe dream This is the dream

It's conflict And it's compromise It's very very exciting Ooh And that was the guy who made Whiplash And I was listening When I went to a screening

Of Manchester by the sea People behind me were talking about La La Land apparently they'd seen it and they were sort of these film buffy media people and they were saying that... Like you mean? A bit like me, yeah.

But like more profess, you know. Yeah. I don't know what they did. But they were saying that they were doing that talk and they were saying like, oh but you know everyone was saying oh, but could he do it again? And he has done it. And he has.

So now he's like officially a first. It's like when you get a viral video. It's like great. Can you do it again? And it's on the second one that you're confirmed as a genius. Not the first. The second one

I don't know if that works for virals You know Does that work for virals? I don't know I think sometimes people can go Like one hit wonder Or oh so Yeah but there's the second one

To cement you though I think the second time The second time you hit Or you surpass your first gong Okay Then you done it So Oh right

You know I'm making it hard for myself It's not my first Oscar It's the second Oscar That really counts Maybe maybe maybe So Manchester By the seat

Interestingly enough where Samuel O' Jackson had a lot to say about it the other day saying it wasn't an inclusive film and I guess he means it wasn't very diverse and stuff like that so is it not and if it's not is it not because it couldn't be or just because

it's not? Well it's set in this really remote, where it's set I'm assuming that it's on planet Earth right? Yeah but it's like very upstate. I think there's black people on the earth. Yeah but you know what it's like in certain areas of England there just are villages which are just all white

because I don't know too much about the geography of America but I think that it's supposed to be this little town on the coast it's like a fishing town on the coast of up from Chicago a couple of hours so you know

So maybe it's because of that Maybe because it would be a little bit weird to have a totally multicultural cast if it was set in like Yeah That makes sense I was in Kettering recently and there was like 400 people

where I were and there was no black people except me Does that is... It was like where's Wally except I was easy to find because it was me. Was that when you were in the woods? No, that was, fuck, I don't know where I was then. I don't know where I was.

Near Pinewood. I was near Pinewood Studios last week in the woods. You're like all over the country. Where's Noel Clark? And I was in Berlin before that. Just popping up? Yeah, I was filming Duncan Jones, film Mute. Yeah, which has got Paul Rudd and Alexander Scarsgard and Justin Thoreau.

Ow, Alex. That's what I was doing. I was in Berlin shooting that. Were you with, do you have any scenes with either of them? I have scenes with all of them. lovely where I speak to them directly. Oh, oh. Look at that.

You got well chuffed. I'd be chuffed if I shared a scene with Alexander Scarsgard. He's a nice fella. He's well tall, isn't he? He's very tall, yes. Paul Rudd is not as tall, but equally a nice fella. Is he as tall as you? Paul, probably about the same height, I think.

No, not so very tall then. Okay. Sheaky. I'm just warming up for our insult game later. I'm 5' 9, mate. 5'9. So am I. We've measured each other. Many, that's not wrong.

We've measured each other. We're exactly the same height. It's all equal from where we're seeing. Yeah, her penis is the same size as mine as well. I know, we measured that too. Yeah, 15 images. I'm about to go really small. Okay, right, so last trailer I've got for you.

It's the Rogue One. It's the new Star Wars. Star Wars spin-off. So if anyone who's looking to find all the characters from the last Star Wars, nah, this is set way before. Way before. Wrong movie, mate. Jim, whatever I do.

You understand? I understand. Our rebellion is all that remains to push back the Empire. I think you might be able to help us. When was the last time you were in contact with your father? He is critical to the development of a super weapon. If my father built this thing, we need to find him. All right.

They are requesting a call sign. It's a rogue one. If the empire has this kind of... has this kind of power what chance do we have we have hope the force is strong make 10 men feel like a hundred whatever I do see I understand I understand oh I think we're playing it again that our rebellion is all that you were that was very exciting though I mean it's one of those ones where actually it sounds exciting but if it's not Star Wars I'm not really watching it oh really yeah because it just it sounds exciting but it's just like a ya

there's loads of films like that. But because it's Star Wars, I'm all over it. You're all over it. Oh, branding works. I grew up with Star Wars and there's lightsabers and shit like that. And I can confirm there are light sabers in this one. Yeah, and it's the director of, well, I don't actually don't care because I liked his first film.

I don't like the second one, so. But it's a director of monsters. Yeah. Which was that tiny little film. Yeah. That supposedly cost 200 grand. And then he did Godzilla, which was like 200 million. Didn't jump in budget.

at all. And then now he's done this. Yeah, man, he's scaled up. I'm really looking for... Garrette Edwards. Ah, that's its name. No, I'm going to go see all those films. Oh, I've already seen Manchester by the sea. But I'll watch that again. Right, let's going to... I've looked in a little bit of the soundtrack to La La Land because that's also going to be a number one because it's super catchy and super sunny and super

you think it's going to be a number one. I think so. Place your bets, guys. Place your bet. La La Land. It's going to win all the Oscars and it's going to be number one. Number one single. I will bet you. I might, I might take it. take that. My 15 inch cock, I'll bet you that. We've already lost that, haven't you? Right, here we go. So this is

another day in the sun from La La Land. Wow, we're back. Oh, it's a lovely day in the sun, man. Do you know what? I have to say, Johanna, James. I think you were right. That is a lovely song. I know that you'll be listening to that on the way to work. Tap dance in your way to the studio. Well, I don't know about that. Well, we've got our first guest in the studio. Welcome to Camille Gatting.

who is the... Camille Gatine. Gatine. Who is the producer on the movie The Girl with All the Gifts. Fantastic. Which we did review a couple months back. Because I went to see... I went to see the screening that was in Leicester Square. I had a shock on my life because normally you go to press screenings or whatnot.

And I was sitting on the front row. And then suddenly, like, Gemma Artisan came out. And then Glenn Close and I was just like my mouth just dropped. Like, oh my God. They're only people, you know. I know. But I really look up to like Glenn Close. people but I'm looking at them.

Glenn Close is wonderful. Yeah, so I was just like, I wasn't prepared. That's all right. I don't fang girl over many people, but I was just like, had a shock. Yeah, she's devil wears pride of me. It's like, oh, quality. Yeah. I know, that's Marrival Street.

I'm all confused now. I wasn't going to correct you, but. Glenn Close is, um, Crewella Deville. Yeah, she's also the man pirate that goes in the boo-boobox in hook with beard. Right, okay. You're getting a bit obscure. Let's get to the girl with all the game.

Welcome, the girl with all the game. So for anyone who doesn't know what that film is or hasn't yet had the chance to see it, do you want to give us a brief? Yeah, I'm not going to say too much because I think if you've not seen it, it's better to go in cold and not have any expectations.

It's just a messed up school with little kids who live in prison cells and every morning soldiers come and at gunpoint make them sit in wheelchairs and they're strapped really securely and rolled into class, they're in a bunker. And the kids don't seem to have a problem with that. Gemm Arderton is their teacher

and they love her and they love going to class but they're just treated like little monsters and it's set in dystopian future which is my favourite genre of film I love it so messed up or as we know it the West Midlands

in two years time so I have a question for you because I recently sat with some amazing publishers and they gave me the book of the film I said we should read this it's wonderful in the films out and I said oh yeah yeah so Tell me how that all happened.

I'm understanding that actually there was a film before there was a book. There was. So Mike Carey's been writing Sandman, Lucifer, X-Men, like for 30 years. He's an amazing comic book writer. So I met with him for a general meeting. And at the end of the meeting, it was, I've just written this short story. Do you mind taking a look?

And it's the first five minutes of our film. Amazing. And I knew Colin McCarthy, the director, really wanted to do a whole film in Derellate Location. He's got this obsession with. with derelection porn, as we like to call it. So have I. So I sent him the short story.

I was like, look, I think we can do something with this. So the three of us storyline, the film together, and Mike wrote the script, and we had a bit of a break at some point. And Mike was like, oh, I've just written a novel based on the script. So Column and I've never read the book. Do you guys own the book, then? Well, I got, I had to have the rights for the film, but I was like, I've never signed an option for a book before that I've never read.

Right, right. And obviously, the book came out early. before the film, but we got really lucky just Sweden was in the UK doing Age of Ultron and he's a massive Mike Carey comic book fan. So he actually bought the book because as you know, Josh Whedon would have nothing better

to do than go to Waterstones during prep on Edge of Ultron and read a whole book and read a whole book and then tweet about it and he tweeted about it with the cover of the book going this is the best thing I've read in ages and that helped with financing. I'm sure it did. That's amazing that's amazing. So

it's great. So told me about the process of working with children they always say don't work you have to pretend right now that I'm not the movie director and actor and blah blah and I'm just a radio host Avoid animals Yes we had that

Avoid children You had that Avoid asbestos We had that Yeah I think you should actually avoid Asbestos though Definitely That's one that can seriously damage your health

Whereas the other two It just can be annoyances Look our main character's a 10 year old girl And she's in every scene Yeah she isn't every single You follow it every time through her. What was the cost and process? We saw 3,000 tapes. We met 500

girls and it sounds nuts but she's the very last girl we met. Wow. The very last one. And I wasn't with Column. She's from Nottingham from the TB workshop and I was down in London closing financing. We were doing chemistry reads with Gemma and five other girls on the Monday and it's

Friday afternoon at 5 and Colum's going via Nottingham because you like just want to make sure we don't leave any stone on to and I remember him calling me and going there's one more and she came in on the Monday to read with Germany and was like yeah it's her wow that's amazing sometimes the way

that it's the last one that you meet or sometimes the very first one well interestingly the first one the very first one we met was the other amazing one yeah yeah wow like a bookend a bookend of girls and was there any

was it quite an open casting like did you see or was she always going to be? It was a bit unusual in that basically, and Noel will understand that, is when you put a casting call out, especially for kids, you get the upper middle class girls first

from the really motivated, momager-driven schools. And that's fine, but that's not at all the vibe we were going for. So we actually had a scout that went around the UK and met a lot of normal girls from normal schools. and that was really important to us

because obviously this is a dystopian world where there is no class you know there's just a few human beings left around and so there isn't like posh or not posh these kids I'm not going to give any spoilers but these kids have not been raised by normal grown-ups in a normal society

so they had to be sort of blank canvases and they just had to be emotionally really raw so what you're saying which is a good thing as well is that actually it was a non-specific in terms of race or class or anything like that, which is great to know. And hopefully, like, you listeners out there that kind of are wanting to be actors, you know, it does happen a lot more now that roles are non-specific.

It's really important. And we made an effort with that. We asked My Carrey to remove any description of age or colour for all of the characters. Yeah. So that for our casting director, it was completely open. So there's only eight characters, but half my cast is female and half my cast is black. Yeah. And that was a conscious, you know, decision by Collum and myself when he started the process.

Yeah. Awesome. The cast as a whole were really, really good. But the little girl absolutely kind of totally carried the film. She's amazing. She's really good. Yeah. Again, I don't want to give too much away because once it twists, the twist comes quite quickly in the movie.

I can see why the opening would have been a short in itself and how it's like extended to, you know. Yeah. So you're not waiting until the very, very end to get any kind of. huge huge, huge twists. And when are you released on home entertainment? 18th of January. Oh, just after Crombo.

Just after Christmas. So when you're out in your sales, guys, the girl with all the gifts will be out. Make sure you all grab it. And one thing that I really love, because a dystopian future, sometimes they can go really CGI, and CGI

just doesn't really cut the muscle for me. I find that it like When whole things are CGI it just ruins it And I remember I was doing some like research on this film When I was going to talk about it And like you said about the real locations That were abandoned

So all of it was, it felt so real So it was in the future But it was like real hospitals That were abandoned Real shops, real real locations Dudley Stoke-on-Trent Oh man glamorous

Canock Chase and Chernobyl We went to Chernobyl Did you actually go? Yeah To a guess near area No, in Pripyat. So the actual city, next to the, which was completely abandoned, we needed it to look completely overgrown and derelict.

So we went there with a drone. And so all the big London cityscapes, obviously we added all the St. Paul's and, you know, London skyline, but everything is totally real and it's all Chernobyl. And I guess you were, I guess near the radiation then. So you get a little Geiger thing around there. And then when he goes, whirr, you walk away. And let me understand.

You were nominated and won and won a British independent film award. The first of its kind, they recognise that being a first time film producer is hard. Yes. So it was a new category this year's called Breakthrough Producers. Well done. Congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations.

That's great stuff. And was that an exciting night for you? Well, you get free champagne if you win. So I got pissed with Jennifer Saunders, which was sort of really fun. You're tapping her up for the next movie potentially. No, I was just getting drunk with that. Just getting drunk with us. And where have you put your little...

Where have you put your little award? Like up on the shelf. Yeah, that's what I do. It's just on the shelf. And how did you get Glenn Close involved? Because... I get asked that a lot. Yeah.

How did we get Glenn Close? How did you get the cost? We asked. We just sent it to her. And it's just serendipity always. And she'd literally had a chat with her agent two days before that going, I really want to do something different. I always get offered.

like the angry ex-wife or the cruel grandmother. I just want to do something different. And he called her and he was like, look, I just got this British indie zombie film. Yeah. And she read it and she loved it. Great. And she just got on Skype with our director within 48 hours

and she just said yes on the spot. Yeah, fantastic. Sometimes it happens, man. I think that, and that's the key, you know, people don't always ask because they think like the Americans are unobtainable and actually they're not, you know, and a lot of them are wanting to do different things. So good for you.

Glenn wanted to come to Stoke on Trend. badly. Who doesn't want to go to Stoke-on-Trent, no? I want to go now. Should we just go now? Let's all just go now. All right, off air. Be-hmm. Okay. So what's next for you? You've got anything you can speak about? Yeah, Mike Carey, the writer, this time we've read the book.

His next book, Falcide, which came out in April, I think, where it's a ghost story set in a women's prison. Fantastic. So we're doing that as a trio again, Colin, Mike, and myself. Fantastic. So I'm expecting a role in that one. I know it's a ghost story in a women's prison, but I'm pretty diverse. You can play a woman. You wear a corset, it's fine.

The ghost is a 10-year-old boy. I'm sure we can see GRIU somehow. I can do that too. Don't worry about that. And is that a period piece or is that a modern piece? No, it's a modern piece. Fantastic. I'm assuming the ghosts might be a bit periody.

If he's young, if he's 10, he might have died 100 years ago. Let's not give it away regardless. Well, that sounds brilliant. Nice and jumping. Great. Right, we're going to pop to you a song. What time are we on? Oh, no, we've got a little time.

So pop to a song and then we can pop back again and play a little game if you don't mind. Every week I do sort of guess the movie song or guest the, and we've got guest that Christmas movie. So we're going to be testing your knowledge industry. I want to point out that I usually win this game, but, you know, hopefully you can dethrone me. I want to point out that I'm French and I moved here when I was 20. So I might know the title of the film in French.

I'm trying to already make excuses for losing. No, no, just say the title in French and I may be right or I may be wrong. You can get, you can get 10 points if you can. get it in French, that's fine. All right. Okay, when we play songs by, it's called Gold by Mia M-I-A. It's in the film. It's in the film, sing.

Okay, oh, the gorilla thing. The gorilla and pig singing film. Yeah, sounds awesome that film. Oh, wow. My boyfriend, and the sex is good, but he doesn't make me orgasm. When we finish, I say, I'm going to the toilet, and I finish it myself. What can I do? Shit.

Before you put your dick in. me. I need you to go down on me for a son of 30 minutes. I think that's reasonable. What have you told him what you'd been up to? You twist it, you're like, I've been going to the toilet afterwards and finishing myself up. I don't want that to happen anymore, so here's my compromise.

You watch me. I'm turned on thinking about it. She's bloody. Of course she is. She's Hannah Witten. Every Wednesday. From 6pm on Fuba Radio. Me.

Listen. I know I'll be away for a little bit, but I don't know why we're advertising Hannah's show. She's like, the guy needs to go down there for 30. Why does she need to give that advice? I would do that for free. And I don't get locked jaw or nothing. I'll go there for an hour. So you tell Hannah Wednesday, I'm there. I'm there. Under the desk while she's doing her show, she'll be like, hi, I'm everyone, I'm just, uh, uh, uh, I'm there. I'm on my way, girl Wednesday. 30 minutes, no problem. No locked jaw or nothing. Yeah, I like your face literally dropped when you heard that. What's this?

So what the fuck is this? What is this? That's Hannah Witten, baby. Right. I'll be meeting her Wednesday. We are going to play Name that Christmas movie quiz. So let me just line this up and see. So just think of a buzzer.

Anything. So if you think you know the answer, you can be like. I'll do Hannah Whitten and when I'm down there. That'll be my buzzer. Have you got a buzzer? Okay, great. And let's see how we go. I think we're going to play.

It's either going to be a song or a clip. A clip. All right. Do it. see, okay, let's have a little go at what this is. I'll tell you what I'm going to give you, snakes. I'm going to give you the counterton. Yeah.

Yeah, you picked some obscure ones here. And you didn't even have the respect to pick the my Christmas animation that I was in called Saving Santa. unbelievable. Oh yeah, you were a little animation, although it would have been embarrassing if I didn't get it. Exactly. See, I was like just saving you there.

I was like, had your back. I was expecting bad Santa or trading places. Trading places. That's a good Christmas movie. Classic, classic movie. Looking good, Lewis. Feeling good, Winthrop. That's a good movie.

18th of January. There we are. I'm paying attention. It was a long night. Sorry, guys. The girl with all the gifts will be out. And hopefully, hopefully you guys will get a couple of Baftanms as well.

That would be nice, eh? Let's see. Yeah. I'm actually a BAFTA member, so. Well, do you want a cup of tea? Bouts of champagne. Champins. We can discuss this after the show.

There's no bribe we're allowed. Amazing. Right, we're going to pop to a song. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for coming in. Good luck with everything in the future. Brilliantly fun. I'm going to play a song now from Manchester by the Sea. It's by Ella Fitzgerald.

It's called I'm Beginning to See the Night. You fucking love this film, mate, aren't you? I never cared much for moonlit skies. I never winked back at fireflies. But now that the stars are in your eyes, I'm beginning to see the light I never went in for afterglow or candlelight on the mistletoe

But now when you turn the lamp down low I'm beginning to see the light Used to ramble through the park Shadowboxing in the dark Then you came and caused a spark That's a foral on fire now I never made love by lantern shine I never saw rainbows in my wine

But now that your lips are burning mine I'm beginning to see the line I never cared much for moonlit skies I never winked back at fireflies But now that the stars are in your eyes I'm beginning to see the light Went in for after glow Or candlelight

But now we see the light Used to ramble through the park Shadowboxing in the dark Then you came and caused a spark That's it for another girl I'm beginning to see the light ball Beginning to see the light Oh

Beginning to see the light I'm beginning to see Right We're back on, we're back on We're back on Sorry man I'm gnairin Just reminding Johanna how much I look after her You do mate, you've sorted me out solid

Not in the way you guys think Not as well Right A bit of unusual movie facts I've been doing a little bit research I quite enjoy this every week I'm just scared to be a geek Right so Tarantino

Was asked by a friend This was pre pre-pop fiction days I am listening to you I'm just wondering why all those that have disappeared The building's been evacuated And we still are here on there Everyone's missing No Tarantino was asked by a friend

To look after their bunny rabbit and he didn't he forgot to look after it and the bunny rabbit died and so to say sorry he commemorated the bunny by calling one of the robbers in Pulp Fiction after it's called Honey Bunny. They're called Honey Bunny after the rabbit that he killed.

That he'd let die. Yep. I mean he should be even more responsible I think Peter should have him locked up, Petter, Peter whatever they're called should have him locked up for that. I know. Kill on a bunny. The character called Switch in the Matrix which is the girl basically the white, the girl in white with the blonde hair. not Trinity, basically.

The character was written and was called Switch because initially they were supposed to switch gender when they went in and out of the Matrix. But Warner Brothers they scrapped, they cut the idea because they didn't want to touch too many.

But you know why that is, don't you? Right. Because the Wachowski's, hold on, are they the directors? Wachowski brothers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Directed the Matrix. They're no longer the Wachowski brothers, are they?

Because they're, yeah. One is called Lana and is now a lady. And that is probably why she wanted to do that. Yeah, they wanted to play with like, and that would have been like a massive move forward having someone who would have been amazing. It's a it's a shame that. It's a shame that Warner Brothers weren't so. It would be interesting if they made it now. Warner Brothers maybe would probably go for it now. I would go for it now, I think. But apparently it didn't.

All the characters, talking about gender stuff. All the characters. Sorry, I keep looking at your sparkly top. So sparkly. All the characters in Alien were written. gender neutral. So all of the names of the characters so it could have been cast either way. So they left it completely open. It just so happened to be that they were boy or girl. It was never written. And the only person who was specifically a boy or a girl was the main character which was supposed to be a boy. Ripley, yeah. I'm aware of that. So Ripley was supposed to be a boy and then they switched it to... And it ended up being Sigourney Weaver.

To be a girl. Girls, you can do it. You can do it. You can kill them aliens. And in Rocky, the original Rocky, there's a scene... It was supposed to be a horse, wasn't it? He was supposed to be horse. Oh my God, can imagine a boxing horse film? That would be awesome. I would so go and see that. Me too, man. It probably won't win any awards, but I'd watch it.

But that would be amazing. Everyone being like... A boxing horse. They go to the pub and be like, let's go see that boxing horse film. Man, that was such a good film. So anyway, in Rocky, when he finally gets into the arena

when he's looking up at the poster of himself and he spots that his... The shorts are wrong. That he's not wearing the correct shorts. That was a real-life moment because the art department did the wrong shorts. So they actually made it into the movie and they made it like a thing.

That's nice. That was the art department fucking up and got into the movie. A little quick thing on actors changing their names because a lot of actors started off in their movies being called one thing and then they changed their name later on. Number one being The Rock. So he was credited as The Rock for quite a few films before he then changed to Dwayne the Rock Johnson

and then he finally dropped that to just Dwayne Johnson. Marky Mark, Mark Wahlberg. He was credited his first film as Marky, and then soon dropped that. Arnold Schwarzenegger was credited as Arnold Strong. He was very strong, then the film flopped, and then he came back with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wacken Phoenix was originally, well, he was actually born Wacking Raphael, Bottom. Bottom. And then when his family, they left the cult, children of God.

They changed all the names to River and Wachian. They changed them to like, they changed Phoenix. Their last name to Phoenix, because it was like their new rebirth. And he chose Leif. So for the first couple of films, he was credited as Leaf Phoenix. And then changed back to Wackham Phoenix. Lawrence Fishburn, who was in The Matrix. Yes.

He was Morpheus, by the way. Morpheus in the Matrix. Not played by Samuel L. Jackson, as the running jokers. No, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's right. He was called Larry Fishburn. In earlier films, I think even in Boys in the Hood, he's Larry Fishburn. It was Larry Fishburn and then changed to Lawrence Fishburne.

He got older, he was like, you can't call me Larry anymore. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean. Norma Jean, yeah. But for our first couple of movies, she was Gene Norman. Norma Jean is more. It's Norma Jean, and then, yeah, Norma Jean, there was something on the end. And then she changed it to Jean Norman, and then they were like, that's not working.

You need to be something more iconic. and Marilyn Monroe. Someone said, oh, you remind me of this actress Marilyn something, so that's why she took Marilyn and then she matched it with an old maiden name

of someone in her family. And Nicholas Cage was... He's a Coppola. Nicholas, yeah, Coppola. He's a Coppola. For those who don't know, Francis Ford Coppola, I think, is his dad or uncle.

Yeah, his dad. Not sure. And Sophia Coppola, director, is his cousin, I believe. But he didn't want to be... I mean, like, kudos. do him. He didn't want to be associated with the family name in the sense that people thought he was getting a leg

up so he's like, no, I'm going to do it myself, I'm going to be Nicholas. So he just got a leg up anyway, but pretended he wasn't part of the family. And then it was all me. And then finally Olivia Munn was her first couple of movies, or she was Lisa Munn and then they were like, I think it's working as Lisa, so they changed it to her lady. Because that doesn't seem that much

of a problem. I know, right? Lisa Munn. It's a shit name though, isn't it? Leitha Munn. It's shit though. But Olivia Munn, it just kind of rolls off more. And your name used to be Bublin Awesome source And I changed my name Yeah you helped me

With my name changed Because I did actually Yeah we were like What should we What should we Many of those years ago Like four years ago I do remember that yeah

And we were like playing around With different names Because when you're an actor You have to register Or you used to be I have to register With the actors union Yeah

And they already was A Joanna James So I couldn't have And there was also The other names That are your real name The other names That are my real name

They were already taken I had to like re-establish the name. Yes. So that's how Johanna James was born. I still call you, but I still call you Joe. I still call you Joe. Yeah, because it used to be spelled with an O and I switched it to spell it with an A.

Yeah. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Falled you! You fools! Ha! Ha! Falled you! But actually, I fooled myself, because now no one can say my name. Yeah, they're like, is it Johanna? Is it? Johanna? Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah! No, Johanna. No, Johanna. Miss Jay?

Oye. O. You over there? JJ. Bitch, no. Too far. Well, I don't want to know about your personal life, love. Too far. Okay, I think we've got our second guess are coming into the studio. Sitting out there regretting that they're coming on the show after hearing your terrible segment.

We've got the girls from the muted the musical. Fantastic. Is this the funniest lady in the world? No, that's, she's coming after. I'm sure these ladies are very funny anyway. Muted, let's do it. We're going to have a little bit of Sam Smith and we're going to come back with the girls

from Moody the Musical It's Back Row and Chill Back Row and Chill with Johanna James and Noel Clark on Fubar Radio I've got a bone to pick with you quickly just quickly before you introduce I guess I've noticed that you only play the one

with your name first because I've not been around and you're winding me up and you're going to switch it back No no no I've listened to four of them today and all of them say Johanna James first and you're trying to be sneaky

and you're not getting it Do you know what I'm doing No even Natalie's modern No, he's nodding. You're not getting out of this one. Can I explain? Just remember why you got this show in the first place. You're not letting me explain. That's right, I'm not. We have guests. I've got two options. I can play the one with both our names or with just my name.

So which one am I going to play? But you're playing the one with both our names, your name first. All right. Well, I need that put on the, it's not even on the thing. I'll just say it. Back row and chill with Noel Clark and Jahad James. Because we do have it. We do have it. Get it on the cart, will. She's taking it off.

I didn't take it. Natalie's nodding at me. We're having a domestic, sorry ladies. Sorry, anyway, let's go to our guests. We've got our guests. That's very cheeky. We've got Tori Alan Martin and Sarah Henley in the studio. Welcome, ladies.

Thank you. You are from Newtid the musical. Yes. So are you performing in or are you in charge of? I'm performing in. And I've written some of the lyrics and we've produced it together. And Sarah's written the book. So we're like a slash.

Slash generation. Awesome. So for people like me who've been off filming movies when other people change the jingle on the show, can you explain what muted the musical is all about? Yeah, you do that at all. Well, the title gives it away a little bit.

It's obviously unlikely that a musical would be about unmute, but it is. And it's, yeah, it's this guy he was doing really well in a band. They were about to get signed and he lost his mother in a hit-and-run accident. And the way he reacted to that was to become mute. He just shut down and he couldn't. Like psychologically, yeah, became mute. Yeah, and we found that really interesting as a vehicle for a piece of theatre.

Whoa, that was a true story. No, no. But we found mute. I wish it was. We should have lied. Yeah, true story. We just found that idea of a mute character and their inner thoughts. we've got a sort of teenage version of himself from before the accident who sings his thoughts effectively.

Amazing. And I'm the ex-girlfriend and I get enlisted to sort of come back and try and bring him out of himself. And it's a lot about secrets and forgiveness and, yeah, and the things that we feel we can't say that we maybe should. So yeah, that's it in a nutshell. But there's some twists, so you can't say too much. And how did you guys, apart from the concept you just told us, like, what was the sort of kernel of what made you guys come? up with that in particular. I think we're just always looking for things that aren't

stereotypical musical theatre. We're not really into the sort of jazz hands playing and we are interested in giving me lovely jazz hands there now. Yeah. I try. And I think we want it, we like to tell really contemporary young stories

that we feel represent 2016 and us and our friends and people who think they hate musical theatre. They're the people we want to get in. And this, because it was modern and about a band and it so it opened itself up to have commercial sounding music which is what we love to do um so yeah that that was what appealed to us about it and that's our whole thing it's just bringing musical theatre into the now really and um yeah i think i want to see it because

i'm not a fan in musical theatre yeah and that's who we create it for and a lot of our friends aren't and it's sort of like it doesn't have to be this thing we've we've got this idea of what musical theatre is in our heads and that's what we're interested in in messing with that i used to do a lot of musical theatre when i was a teenager and i remember once the first time i did a play and i said to my dad i was like what do you think he was like there wasn't any songs it was great cheers dad yeah but a lot of people feel like that and i think that's been fun for us in terms of like how we introduced the songs as well like not like and now i'm having a song That was good by the way.

Thank you very much. Just giving you a little insight. So it's more kind of like you might be mid-sentence in it and that sort of takes over because it's this inner thought it's kind of taking over and almost soundtracking the action rather than bursting into some.

I love that because I don't, I think what annoys me, although I do like wicked. Yeah, wicked's wicked. But I think what annoys me about musical theatre is sometimes when they just every sentence just go straight into it. song and I just start fucking hell. If I wanted to have a soundtrack, I just listen to one.

Exactly. You know what I mean? So it sounds interesting. Yeah, we feel the same. So hopefully it's people like you that we're trying to create work for. And how did it go from that development to actually being on stage in London? What was there? How many loops did you have to jump? A lot. A lot. And we're still

jumping. Shut of fucking meeting now. You can say on this show, you can say anything you like. Yeah, we were told that I was so, I really relaxed and I knew I could say fuck. He made my day a lot better. Anything you want. Fucking Friday. Yeah.

Yeah, we did a version of it in 2012 that we just put on, we raised £2,500 on Kickstarter and that's all we had, and we just threw it on, got a bunch of mates involved. And then Stephen Frye came down and called it stunning,

and we started to get this sort of secret hype about it. Little buzz, a little buzz, yeah. And we were being in the bar, we'd have a drink, and we had fans that would come down and, like, join in, and it was cute. And we've just kept

plugging away. But we've written things in between them. I've worked with Idriselba a lot. We've sort of grafted and got better hopefully, but this one was a little nugget that we had to, we couldn't let die. So yeah, we came back with it top of the year, didn't we? Yeah, we did another Kickstarter for an album. Sorry, a bit croaky. That's all right. Another Kickstarter for an album, which we did in February. So we made a little cast album and we did a showcase. And these guys from the bunker caught on, that's where, that's the venue. that the show's on. It's a new venue in London Bridge and really likes it and they're up

for taking a bit of a risk on new stuff that's a bit different and yeah they gave us the slot. Amazing. Which is over Christmas which is interesting because it's not a pantow and it's not very Christmas they want that though. Do you have a break

or is it all the way through? Obviously Christmas Day and Boxing Day we get off a New Year's Day which was strategic because you lot will be absolutely legless I won't know my own name so there I'll be no good to anyone I will be completely mute

and no good to anybody this is really weird apart from not the show which I'm sure it was something really was that a little cough over there was turned away from the mic this is really weird I'm just going to digress quickly because we'll get that concept of it I was filming

a film called mute in Berlin about a mute bartender who had a traumatic experience and went mute Oh! So you know all about it? Well, I don't really, but that's... I was in that film as Duncan Jones' new film. That's what I was doing.

When you said that, I was like, that's weird. That's fate or something. How weird is that? I don't know what it means, but it does mean something. Well, it means I have to come and see the show now. Yay! Come and hang out with us. Let me take a picture of this, so I'll definitely come and see the show.

Let us know and we'll have lots of drinks. If people did want to come down and find it, so it's on... When did it start? It's opened on 7th of December. Oh, it's open? Yeah. We just got nominated, Offi nominated for Best New Musical today. That's nice. That's cool.

Best new musical, yeah, wonderful. Yeah, we've opened, we've got shows running Tuesday till Sunday. We have two shows Saturday, two show Sunday. And a few actual extra matinees during the... Yeah, during Christmas. So I have a question. Yes. You're in the show.

Yeah. You're not in the show. Oh, no. So why are you croaky? No. I know, right? She should be croaky. Why are you croaking?

I've got stamina. Yeah, she's got the training for it. No, I'm not trained. You can't even give me that. No, that's true. stamina. I'm on to you. She just wants the sympathy. Now actually putting on a show is harder

to be fair. She gets all the bollocks bits and I just get to swan on and get a clap. So to be honest. Sorry, did you say get the clap or a clap? A clap. Just the one. Just checking. Just checking. Yeah, great.

And it doesn't finish until Saturday, 7th of January. Yeah. So where is exactly it's in the bunker in London Bridge? Yeah, if anyone's heard of a theatre called the Meniere Chocolate Factory. It's underneath there. It's an ex-car park.

So it's about three minutes walk. If you take the Borough High Street exit at London Bridge, it's about three minutes walk down the road. So, yeah, just past the breakfast club. I am coming to this play. You said the words breakfast club. I'm assuming they have breakfast. And you also said the words, chocolate factory.

So I'm hoping it is what I think it is. It's not the reason I'm coming to the play. I'm coming anyway. Well, you have to come to find out, right? Yes, I shall. I shall. No, this looks absolutely amazing. and and what are there anything sort of after plans to take it on anywhere else after or is this

I mean we hope so we always hope so but it's Broadway I mean that have been at anywhere to be honest just some money yeah off that would be amazing wouldn't it just support really just for we're trying to do something different and we're trying to give British musical theatre a new voice and we just need the support it's really fucking hard do you still have a kick starter that we could tweet for you have any yeah do you have any jibby online sadly but we're probably do another one but get in touch with us if you want to help support. Yeah if anyone wants to help

we're here with open arms. Have you got a website or a Facebook page or yeah yeah we do. Yeah we've our Twitter is at interval prods so like yeah a bit weird productions was too long. Oh I thought it was so it's not yeah that's short for like having sex

can't they? And how many cast are there? Who else is in the cast? There's six of us, yeah. Yeah, that's right. And it live music? Yeah, live band. Wow.

Oh, we've got such a dude. We've got to talk about. Oh, Gus. Yeah, talk about Gus. Who's Gus? What does Gus do? He's our guitarist, and he played and wrote loads of songs with Seal for years, and he's just an absolute G, and he plays left-handed, upside-down guitar. He's just an absolute G.

So come for him alone, and he's the nicest man. Well, you're not going to give him a little bit? I don't, I don't think. Slightly maybe the wrong generation. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, he wrote with Seal for years. Yeah, got you. So he's more like Uncle Gus.

Yeah, he has made some Uncle, actually. That is a true story. Uncle Gus. But he's a G. He's a G. He's a G, man. Fantastic. And so what's the plans next? What's happening?

What's the next plans? Obviously, we want muted to keep being a success and to do well, but like what are the plans do you guys have individually or together? I've got a show called Wretch, which is about two girls in a homeless shelter, going to the Vault Festival opening February 8th that I'm in and a band, indie band called Eliza and the Bear.

Food Bar Radio presents. So this man from Singapore has revealed that he married his pet snake because it looks like his dead girlfriend. Now wherever he goes, the pet snake is by his side. His neighbours call him the man with the snake. Very creative. Didn't even capitalise the team. You don't even make a film about this guy.

He's screwing. He's just the man with the snake. He's kind of peek on every other person who owns a snake. It can be anything. You're forever now known as the man wears the jumper. I wear jumpers. No, no, I coined it. Every Wednesday.

From 4 p.m. on Fubar Radio. Back row and chill with Noel Clark and Johanna James on Fubar Radio. Too fucking right. Oh, you can swear. Oh yeah. You can say what you want, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Exactly. Two fucking right. 50-50, that's how it should be. It will be. It's on there. Well, now they've corrected my monitor. You're cheeky, not mistake, your cheekiness. They've corrected your cheekiness. To be there, I didn't notice which way arounds our names are. I just hear both names. I'm like, cool. I don't mind. But then when it was like four times,

I'm just like, all right, they're taking a piss out of me now. They make Anton Deck stand as Anten Deck. Do they? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they do. We need to introduce. We've got our guest. This is Jade Adams in the studio.

Hey, welcome. How you doing? I'm right, mate. I was stuck in traffic, so I'm all like, I've got too much adrenaline because I thought it was going to be late. Well, you're not. Now, I've got to tell you something. I've heard that you're the funniest person in the planet or something like that.

Something like that. Basically, what happened was I was having. You better make me laugh today. That's what I'm saying. I had an interview. and they said to me, they said, oh, tell us, for the uninitiated, who are you? And I went, well, a humble answer is that I'm just a lowly cafe worker, just with dreams of making people laugh.

To anyone else, I'm Britain's funniest woman. Oh, no, I said, I'm the answer to British comedy. And then that got taken as the things. Now I can use it as a quote, mate. So, yeah, that's PR, mate, that is. I is PR. I love that. I love that.

But apparently, I'm quite funny. I just, I just, I'll be the judge of that. I've funny bones, apparently. I got a funny bone Have you? Have you got a funny bone? May you've got to stop doing that I've got a funny bone

He hits on my mum It's kind of a problem Her mom loves it Her mom loves it But she likes a right upper Yeah She loves it I love how

Big king size snickers Right up her She loves it Does she? King size snickers with nuts Yeah This is taken a turn Total

Tone turn Yeah Fubbaugh it stands for Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition Oh Oh, that's great. So you just, you could take in any old riffraff here, really. We can just go.

And look at the, look at the simple. Not on this show, we only take quality on this show. Thanks, May. That's why you're here. Thank you. Quality industry. Peeps. Peep, on quality, apparently.

It's hard to like, it's hard to, when you are, where I'm from, you don't really sit around, a bragging about yourself like people do on the internet. So when I'm in these things where I'm in for 15 minutes and I've got to make people come and see my show, I find it ever so uncomfortable to just say, hey, I'm real funny. I'm so funny. I'll tell you what you won't do is you won't be bored for an hour. So what is your show about? Because you've got a show at the Soho Theatre.

I have. I'm around there all the time. Come, mate. It's well funny. It's about, basically, it started off as I didn't want it to be what it was about. And then over the preview period that I did from March to July, it turned into a show, which was where I basically spent 31 years of my life trying to be other people thinking that other people knew what the route to happiness was.

And then I realised. at 31 having done this show that actually I knew what it was all along and that was to be me and that doesn't mean people have to be me because I don't like that I don't like it when people copy it's a one laugh just write that down one laugh yeah one tick one tick done one should copy you should just be yourself that's what I think anyway and I think that happiness comes from being yourself being you however that is and not worrying not trying not to worry what other people think about you yes which I spent all my life doing because I had I had some um strong female role models that like to dominate me

when I was growing up. Oh, did you? Socey, don't it? It was. Family members. I know I'm West Country. I'm not that West Country. I'm not that. Two. Two. Just making love with that. That's two.

Excuse me, chest infection. Just gone. I had the same thing as the Dream Girls' Girls had. Oh, wow. The show got shut down, didn't it? I had the same illness. Did you give it to him? I think I did. Stop snogging all the cast of showgirl. I was so fit. That one from Glee is well fit.

Who's in there? From Glee? I don't know. I just saw her singing and I thought maybe she's in it, but I'm not, I don't imagine that that girl's in the West. Maybe she is. I haven't seen her do any work since Glee. No, me neither.

She's got the, yeah, it's the black girl in Glee. She's sort of my size with big, big old fro. No, she's done nothing since Glee. She's done, she's done nothing. She's done fuckle. She's done fuckle. She's a very good voice. Yeah, she's got a good voice.

Do you sing? I do, yeah. I sing opera. This chair wants to move around. In the show? Do you sing in the show? I have an ongoing battle with these chairs, So just be careful, mate.

They're the enemy. I am. I do sing in the show, but not until the very end, which is ruined the ending. But you still won't expect it because I take you on a roller coaster. It's full of stuff. I've just jam-packed my show with as much as I could. There's dancing, singing. I lip-sync at one point.

I beatbox. I rap. Wow. I can do the splits. Shut up. Yes, mate. I was a dancer for 12 years. Fantastic.

Some people call themselves a triple threat. I am an octuple threat, which has actually no relation to the fact to look a little bit like Ursula from the Little Mermaid. You don't. You don't know like that. Thanks, mate. That's a half laugh there.

I'll give you that. Four and a half. No, three and a half laugh. Don't get flat here, so three and a half. Fucking hell. But she's only been on like two minutes. That's brilliant. That's brilliant.

That's brilliant. That's brilliant. I don't. I don't love much. I don't love much. So that is brilliant. No, honestly. If something's funny, he just goes,

they'll be their fucking belly rolling on the ground I'm like Is that because you think you're funnier than everyone else I'm mildly amusing Yeah it's because you're the class client Ain't you mate And so it's uncomfortable for you

No it's not uncomfortable That's the wrong word Because look at him You got defensive What I meant It is, it's not uncomfortable It is You had one there didn't you

Truth is always funnier than anything else My show's very brutal as well I'm quite honest in it Good I swear the audience to secrecy When they come in About something I say some stuff and I swear them all to, like, things that I would never put on telly or on radio.

I wouldn't ever say it, but on stage, I give the, I give some stuff over to the audience that they're not allowed to, like reviewers as well, attempt to shut the fuck up at the end if they didn't like it. However, funniness, you were probably very funny at school, which is why you went into the world of the dramatics. You were hilarious in Doctor Who, mate. Thank you. I was a massive fan of when you were. in it. I didn't watch it so much when Matt, when Matt what's his face left, but when you were in it, it was brilliant.

Yeah, when I was Billy and Mickey and, yeah, all that. I know and Miss Rose, Babes. Rose and Doctor, that's pretty much where. It kind of, yeah. I don't think they ever really recreated anything. I don't think that they did it as well as they did it when they did it then.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I gave it. Yeah, babies. Yeah. And that stripper thing. Oh, I didn't mind that though, because she had a bit sart. She has well fit in that stripper show. She's all right. She's all right. She was better as Rose? Oh, totes, yeah. You guys. What about if Rose was a stripper?

In fact, you know, there's some fan YouTube videos on YouTube of Rose from Doctor Who, they basically mashed in. Doctor Who and the diary, Secret Diary of a Cool Girl, because there's a scene where she has sex with Matt Smith, because he's in Doctor Who and that, so they mash it together.

I'm that much of a fan. Google that. Google that. I used to read fan fiction. for Buffy the Lampower Slayer. Did you write it as well? No, I didn't write it. So for people like that, I know, fanfic is

when fans write stories, episodes of their favourite shows or second favourite shows and have the characters fucking and doing all sorts of craziness and people love it. I was always spit roasted by Spike and Angel in my fan fiction. Really?

No, I didn't write it. I just thought that would be funny. That is funny. That's mildly amusing. It's mildly amusing. You didn't laugh, you just told me it was funny, which is what you always want as a comedian. That was funny.

I'm just mind out done, that's five. Are you right? Does he do this with all the comedians? I think so. No, but you're the funniest ever. What? Funniest person ever. I'm quite funny.

Do you know what I did today? On New Year's Eve, I am doing two things. I'm doing Soho Theatre with Bourgeois Maris, who were a great sort of cabaret double act. Then I'm going to the Eagle in South London, and I'm dressing up, so Scotty, who's a drag performer that I work with, he is doing a show where basically everyone who's died over 20s,

16 is getting recreated in this show at the Eagle. It's a lot of cast. I'm Victoria Wood. I put the wig on today. I looked just like her. Oh, man. I was doing all the hand actions as well. Let's do it.

I was doing it. I was great. I was doing it. How did you feel about it? Because she was someone that was really, I guess, a pioneer in your... Lady comedy. Yeah, she was. Yeah, she's great.

I loved her. I watched Acorn Antiques and Dinner Ladies. And I watched all her stand-up. And I watched... Well, her sit-down because she was at a... but yeah no she was great she was you know she is a pioneer of of ladies comedy um which is great um i i i'm not i'm a bit funny about the old ladies comedies i just tend to do comedy i don't really sort of it's not ladies comedies it's just comedy mate i'm just funny i happen to have a vagina um i'm sure

it's a very pretty one too it is absolutely lovely can have a look you can after the show we're we're doing well facebook live let's go ahead feel free we're facebook live yeah can we um um um So who inspired you when you were a young comedian? Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Victoria Wood did, Julie Walters. And then I watched a lot of American stand-up, so like George Carlin and Bill Hicks. I mean, every comedian says that. Louis C.K. I love Louis Ciccom.

He's brilliant. But I love my favourite stand-ups, all-American. All my favourite, like, proper, you know, not what I do, which is fuck assing around with a load of bag full of props and shit. But I'm. You know, like what they do out there with it. Because my show is the first time I've done an hour of chatting as well. Because a lot of people think, oh, I'm going to be like putting on different costumes. I stay in the same clothes all the way through the show.

And I ain't Adele in it either because I do Adele. I'm doing it tonight at the glory in King. Is that why you got your wig with you? I had to bring it with me and I panicked because I thought I was going to be late. And I was just dying it because it was too blonde. That does look like Adele, isn't it? Yeah. I'd do it all right.

Some Trannies called me Adele when I moved. to London six years ago and not wanting to get any more jobs in call centres or serving smashed avocado on rye bread to children as young as four called Joffrey, I decided to start dressing up as Adele for Cash. It's not a bad shout, to be fair. It's also the opening line to my show. How did sort of the Soho theatre come about then? How did it get from you having a start?

I've got an idea to be funny in a show. How did you get someone to commission it? I went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2016, smashed it in the dick, got nominated for. the best newcomer. Seven. Seven. Seven.

Seven. Eight. Nine. One of roll. It's like, I need to have a little cling like, ding, ding, ding, ding. I got one. I should have bought it. I did a scissor kit to P.G.N. Duncan's, let's get ready to rumble in the

Bethnal Green Working Men's Club and fucked my knee up and did me ACL in. Oh, flipping out. That's painful. When my mum was looking after me, she put the food on the other side of the room so I'd walk over and get it. She'd scrawled. And then she also gave me a little bell which she would just let me ring

almost like I was that guy in the wheelchair in Breaking Bad who was just about to kill Gustavo. Great reference. Oh yeah. They're very good. Good reference that way. So you got... Oh yeah, so I got nominated for Best Newcomer

and then I didn't think I was going to get Soho Theatre because they weren't really... Like everyone else I'd seen had been given their spaces and I was like... And then I was all like, oh, it's a class thing. It's because I'm working class because there were a couple of reviews up in Edinburgh that sort of really annoyingly referred to me as craft.

or brash and it's just a shitty thing to say just because I've got an accent and I'm not and also I'm not like I haven't um you know I'm not I don't have much fear when it comes to expressing myself so I you know it comes when you're female it comes across as someone who's a little bit bought to Frank or Gordy or something like that

so I had a... Or when you're black yeah babes Working class is the new black mate yeah and when you're both of those things oh mate yeah or female of course you need to be fat and in a wheelchair now mate I'm changing your sex Yeah

You will take a lot of boxes They'll They'll commission a sitcom for you in a minute mate Yeah I know I should try that Just go in in a wheelchair You'll be dandy I might try that

Do it right it down You're gonna make a note of that too Yeah so I didn't think I was gonna get it And then they And then they gave me 14 or 15 dates Which is quite a lot For someone who didn't win

Best Newcomer But was nominated for it And it's been selling really well I've sold out the last three that I've done and I think Tuesday might be I'm not sure but I think it's very close to getting sold out on Tuesday

So you're at the sofa How long are you running for? So I've now got a run from next Tuesday to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday So the 20th to the 23rd I think it's four dates Then I come back from Christmas

I'm doing the 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th Oh great, in between And then I've got another run from the third to the 7th of January as well So you are round so if people want to find you. They can come watch.

It's funny. They'll enjoy it. It's not, I'm not, I don't mention, like, my relationship status really in it at all. And I don't, like, I don't, like, I don't moan about not having a boyfriend or anything like that. I don't, it's more about me being a person and me being a bit of a dickhead, really. Which is what you want. I think what you want from someone who's going to make you laugh. Yeah.

This chair is mental. She's turning. She's now facing the other way. There's a complete rotation. There's a war on chairs, mate. Just watch it. Am I meant to ask you guys questions? No.

Well, we are slightly out of. times because we're coming towards the end of the show. We've got to move on to our film reviews but thank you so much for coming in. What film is it? Loads. Just be careful of that chair. Just name me a film and I'll tell you what I think. Star Wars. Love it. Rogue One, Star Wars. Oh, I ain't seen it, mate. Ten by the way. Thanks, mate.

He sounds like a hippo with a greater stuck in his throat. How can he sing? You're giving hope and dreams to all those people out there. You guys are going to be in a musical. You guys are listening when TJ doesn't, it proves anyone can do it. If I can, then anyone can trust me.

That's another thing. You got me mixed up, bro. Amazing. No, it's a prequel to Peter Pan. And, yeah, it's kind of. kind of like a dark, it's a dark side of how Peter Pan kind of became Peter Pan. So it's kind of the anti, it's kind of the anti-Panto. Oh, I see.

So like Wicked was for Wizard of Oz, like Wicked was for Wizard of Oz. This is like the... Yeah, kind of thing. But obviously, it did well on Broadway, so they spent the last four years trying to get it over in the UK, you know, like with Disney Theatre. And, yeah, they're trying it out over here.

Right. We've got a little 10 minutes now to do. Our film reviews, you can start first, Lucy. It's a good job with 30 10 minutes, really, because you haven't seen fuck all while you're being away. I've been lording it up in New Zealand, so.

But the film review, it kind of, it fell a little bit to shit when you were away. Did it? Got to confess, guys. Unbelievable. So what the fuck have you guys been doing? I've been trying to film review, but it's hard to film review of yourself.

That's true. You can't talk to yourself about. I had two key members missing of the film review club. Sorry about that. Unbelievable. That's all right. So what have you seen? What do you want to bring to the table? What do you think about it?

The fact that I was in New Zealand, obviously, that is Peter Jackson land, isn't it? I mean, you get to the Wellington Airport, and on the side of it is middle of middle earth, and there's all statues in it. And, you know, they're really, really proud of him. And quite rightly, you know, but what I think people don't quite realize about Peter Jackson is where he started. You know, everyone knows. as far back as King Kong usually. Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit. Fucking amazing films, you know,

what an absolutely multifaceted, talented man. I actually don't really like them that much. But, you know, universally, they are good films. But he actually started with comedy horror. A particular film that I love is called Brain Dead. It came out in 1992, and it's like the slapstick zombie horror film. And it's always, you find it near the top of lists

of the bloodiest, goryest films of all time. On the surface of it is actually quite a bad film. But you know when a film's so bad, it's good. Yeah. I absolutely love it. You know, it's not really got anyone famous in it, but the fact that that's where he comes from amazes me, because you watch the last Hobbit film

and how far that's come and how technically amazing it is and, you know, what it did in the box office and the records it broke and things like that. Then you go back to the beginning and he's done this thing where someone's chopping someone up with a lawnmower and putting body parts in a blender. It sounds gross, but it is funny. It's interesting, I think people should do that

is go back and look at their favourite director's early films. First film, yeah. I absolutely loved it, and I do that with everybody. It's like a stalking gene in me that if I find someone that I like, I will go far, far back. Like yourself now. Did you do that with me, baby? I found the knot.

That's a great film. I love that film. I love that film, yeah. I think it's brilliant. And no one really. Underrated for you. People don't know about it. Underrated, yeah.

Everyone's like, oh, hood movies, that's all he does. bullshit. That is a wrong calm and it's amazing. Hors shit, proper. But yeah, you know, I like going back to where these people started, you know, so I've been watching that and... Brain Dead. Where would you find Brain Dead?

You can find it for like a penny on Amazon. A penny's one of you're jacket. Easily enough, I'm so... I'm such a fan of the penny DVDs. You know, you can find any old shit on Amazon. Actually, I've seen your Instagram recently and you've got like a wall of DVD, literally. It's actually there.

It's like, to all of the DVDs. me. I love that. I love DVDs. You know, you should... Well, girl, you better come back in the New Year with some proper reviews as well.

I'm sorry, I'm just talking absolute shit today, I'm not. Do you know what's out on DVD though? Have you got another one to go on the back? Well, it's not really that interesting, so we can talk. Trolls. Oh, so good. The animated comedy, trolls.

So that's about to come out. And I would highly recommend that for parents or... Everybody, really. Yeah. It's a really, really good animated film. so anyone who wants to see that should check out trolls it's the right tone of kids' movie and little jokes for the adults

Yeah, there is some in there What did you choose to watch on the plane? Because you went to New Zealand recently A lot of film time, what did you choose to watch? Do you know what I did? I actually I so badly want to love suicide squad But I don't, I think it's a part of steaming shit

Horshift So I watched that twice Trying to love it You know Were you on Virgin by the way No I wasn't, I was on Malaysia Okay It's cheap because they lose

entire planes. So I thought, okay, I'll go with them, though I'd do that again. It'll be really cheap. There's only happen twice, yeah. Exactly. But yeah, I tried to love that and, you know, I just can't. Also, by the way, we're very sad that this happened.

Let's just tell you that. We're not making light of those situations. Oh, no, very sad. No, no, of course not. Sorry about that. But yeah, it's unsavable. You know, even if someone was to go and re-edit it and reshoot some things,

you just can't save it. What do you think about the new Harley movie? Because apparently they were going to get... I think it's a terrible idea. I think that they need to calm the fuck down. About Harley Quinn. Well, yeah, about, yeah, for a start. Not taking away from Margot Robbie.

No, she's great. She's amazing in everything she does, really. And she's absolutely gorgeous. But I think they need to just slow it down with the DC and the Marvel and all that. Yeah, just stop. I think the problem is it's difficult to say, oh, you shouldn't do that because, you know, then people say you're anti-female or your anti, you know, your anti, you know, you're anti. It's not about that at all these problems.

I'm very, like, equal. you know and all that kind of stuff but I think that's a bad idea yeah I mean maybe because they are going down at the female route it might be a new and fresh thing but that's just me just not even that's just because they're not even Harley Queen is a major character but they're not like major major major characters do you know what I mean no no by the way if anyone's flying on virgin at the moment I'm on the front cover of the in-flight magazine oh yeah I saw it a lovely picture no I have to ask is that an old picture it's about five years old baby yeah don't look a daily day old don't look at all young

That looks out of. Yeah, so if you're a virgin with your parents and your parents are like, oh, there's no one that takes my fancy on this flight, just pull out the Inflip magazine for your mum. No, look at this. And show her that. Just look at that. And then you watch Brotherhood.

I had a flight recently. I went to L.A., and there wasn't a lot on there that I was like really like, oh, great. But I did watch a film called Money Monster. Jack O'Connor. George Clooney. Julia Roberts, directed by Jody Foster. And it was very similar to phone booth-booth-esque.

phone booth. Was it good, though? I enjoyed, like, I was on the flight and I was enjoying it and I really liked it. Yeah, I think it's good. He did a good job, Jack O'Connell, didn't he? Yeah, Jack O'Connell. He really held himself well.

And the accent, and, yeah, I'd really believe. Well, I am the accent, please. Oh, are you? I'm not having... I pick I was in everyone's accent when it's not their own. But, yeah, there was a couple little dropped vowels and things, but...

Okay. You know, I don't know what I think I am. Jackie did well, well, done. But you're not acting, though, won't you? Exactly. No, I thought it was really good and really gripping. And also I thought, like, slightly realistic. I think it's one of those films you can only watch once.

Because once you know the who is it and the why and the what, it's kind of like, oh, I've seen this. But for the first watch, a bit like phone booth, it's just quite gripping. And I was on the plane, like, ooh, and it was well-acted. Good, you know, I love all the people in it. So I was like, oh, okay, that's one to find maybe for a Friday night. And the other film that I saw was Me Before You. Oh, my God.

It destroyed May that thing. Yeah, which was a bit, so I was watching it on the plane. Chick flicking, it's for you guys, that, isn't it? Yeah, it's quite chick flicky. I'm not watched that tonight after La La La Land. It's the girl from Game of Thrones, Amelia Clark. Yes.

She's my cousin. Mm. She's not my cousin. She's not my cousin. But she, they're really, really good. And Sam, Kathleen. Claflin. Claflin.

Claifian. Married to Laura Haddock. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Laura. but we but we, I watched it

I did have a cry and then you know it's funny because you're on you're on a plane and um so embarrassing and then and everyone's watching their films

in their own time so I was watching it and I had a little cry and I finished and then the lady next to me had obviously just talked to that bit and I turned the shoes crying

crying away and up oh for God I was like you're not crying on the planes man is unbelievable it's very it's very emotional the film is about this

you know young guy savvy kind of proper dicket I bet you're telling me I don't cry when I watch it I bet you cry I think you're made of

a little bit, though. Tenor, I won't cry. Yeah, no, I think... But you start to think, literally, it's like this young guy, he's everything, he's got, he's good looking, he's wealthy, he gets... Hold on, I'm not in the film, what are you talking about? Well, I think it parallels with your life, yeah. Obviously playing it. And there's this tragic, unfortunate

accident gets hit by bike, and he is paralyzed from the neck down. Oh, horrible. I know, and it's about everybody trying to, like, make his life better and him being, like... Just pushing everybody away, you could do. Just leave me. Just to test stuff. But for someone to fall.

so far to be in the kind of like, you know, the elite of the Yeah. Of the, um... And have it all taken away completely. Everything gone. And then, um, Amelia Clark's, um, Cooky little character who I would have loved to play.

She's so charming, isn't she? She's lovely, isn't it? It's just such a good job. So again, that was, um, two just like decent films. Everything else was a bit, bit rubbish. Sorry, British airways. Christmas watching guys, you guys find, uh, me before you. Yeah.

As the girls recommend. Trolls. Definitely. And brain dead. Yeah. No, that's not really a critical. Christmas thing. Maybe just watch Home Alone instead. Well, just, you know, my point

was, research, research, your directors, research, your writers, find what they've done, you know? But I would say, what's the Polar Express, that's my Christmas movie to you guys. I've never seen it. Well, watch it. I've never seen it either. Watch it. Okay, we'll watch it. My Christmas movie, my Christmas movie, I've already, it's Home Alone, I'm going to be watching Home Alone too, and I'm going to use this as a little plug

because this is our final show of the year and we're going to end on the final song from Home Alone. Okay, you guys. Have a great Christmas. Merry Christmas, all the listeners. We'll see you in 2017. Thanks for listening. Motherfuckers.
