Yeah, go on. Quickly. Did Daddy turn the radio off last week when he was told to turn the radio off? He did. He said he was listening in Sainsbury's and he whistled all through the dirty game that we played. Fantastic. We've got more dirty fun coming later. I've got some cards up my sleeve for Arnold.

You've got very posh there. I know. We've got more dirty fun coming later. I put my dirty posh voice on when I get all cheeky. Guys, she's not posh. She's like proper trailer trust. So when she does that. When she does that voice, like just know she's getting a bit.

You know. Shed's going down. She's going down. Yeah, so let's have a look. I've got, I've picked, because we like, it's all about films today. It's all about films every week. Yeah. And so we try and pick the music that we're going to play are going to be somehow related to either the films that are coming out, films we love,

or I've been listening to a lot of soundtracks. Awesome. So we've got some music coming up from the Purge Anarchy film. Awesome. Not Anarchy. That was the second one. Purge election. That's the one.

Great. Because the names are all so different. We got some more from the Brotherhood soundtrack. Fantastic. Ghostbusters soundtrack. Who are you going to call? Ghostbusters. We've also got some from the Suicide Squad soundtrack.

As crap as that film was, the actual soundtrack, I'm loving it. Is the music better than the film? Yeah, I'm loving it. So would we enjoy the film if we went there with like a blindfold on? I think so. I think they've got like old, they're doing that sort of Guardians of the Galaxy. Guardians of the Galaxy where they put some 70s stuff in. And then they've also got some.

modern stuff. Guardians of Galice is a good film. And I think so my favourite track, I think I might just play one now. It's actually one of my favourite songs of all time. And normally I'm so... Of all time? Yeah, Queen Bohemian Raspidie is my favourite. Right, do it? Yeah.

But this is not by Queen. And I couldn't believe that I enjoyed it. It's by Panic at the Disco. Wow. And I enjoy it, so I thought I'm going to play that now for everyone. Great. I've never heard of them. I've not heard this track. You never heard of Panic at the Disco? No, no. If Johanna likes it, I trust her. Stay listening to us. Yeah, stay listening to us.

Moving on Hey, yo, you know what? Hey, listen, honestly, it's great to have you in Oh, thank you, thank you to have you in So, Johanna, take it, man, take it from here, man Tell us about you. Okay, so, well, I have known Wajg for a few years Yes, but we haven't caught up in a long time.

No, no, I wasn't in that, man. That's not you? No, that's not me. Was that him as well? That was the other one as well. Oh, yes. All right, just so we understand here, sorry listeners, who the fuck are you, bro?

Basically, all brown people don't look the same. That's where is that. Wajali. Liz Ahmed. You're not Resamed? No, man. But you look bloody like him. You could be as twin.

You should play as twin. We don't look alike. Do you not? No. No. Alright. I'll take your word for it. I'll take your word for it. I got you.

So what have you been in? Mr. Raleigh? I've done a few films. Since I come out of Drum Squad, I've been in a film called Red 2. Red 2. That's with all the old people being... It's called Retired, extremely dangerous, yeah. me dangerous, yeah.

Being like bad asses. Basically, what is it, Bruce Willis? Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, big cast. Wow, wow. So you've had a Bruce Willis Hellamir. I was, yeah. I had a scene with Bruce Willis and John Malkovich, which was nerby. That's awesome, man.

I know, man. And what were you playing in the film? Terrorist. You're playing a terrorist? Of course. Brank, exactly. Brown guy. That's surprising, man.

You're of Kurdish descent? Was your role in the Bruce Willis film similar to when you did the reluctant fundamentalist? I didn't do that. one that wasn't no it was like the Riz guy that's the other guy yeah bro man I'm sure your work is awesome anyway yeah yeah yeah yeah so tell us more

yeah you were terrorists in that in that movie so what did you have to do how did you I was playing a helicopter pilot who gets shot down so I had to basically it's really quick so I had basically like die basically in the film you basically it was really cool spend a few days working on it did you learn how to train how to be in a helicopter

I didn't no no they didn't they gave me 10 minutes just beforehand of training pushing a bunch of random buttons, but you know. So you literally, wing it. Sounds like you in this radio. Literally that's me at the moment. It's like winging the shit out of what this is.

I don't press anything. I press all the buttons, so it's all down to me. So you literally were just acting cool, winging it, improvving that you could drive this helicopter. Basically, yeah. That's what we do, actors, man. So just so young people out there understand. You, you went to, what, one of the big, rich drama schools and everyone?

No, no, no, actually. It's coming up, actually. It's called London School of Dramatic. art. Boom. You hear that guys. London School of Dramatic Off. Yeah. Went there done an advanced diploma. That's where I went. Yeah. You went there too? Yeah. Fantastic. Yeah, exactly. It was good, man. Got such great training out of

it. It was invaluable. So you went to a small drama school, not one of the big rich ones, that went off, by the way, do we need that? You went into a small drama school, not one of the big rich ones. And now you're doing movies with Bruce Willis and Hellamere. Exactly. And that's awesome, man. Yeah, yeah, no. I think everyone thinks that you've got to go to these big drama schools to make it, but you don't. You just, you need good training. I think I've got that. There's a lot of our teachers were actors themselves.

So they kind of been through it themselves and they can pass that knowledge onto you. So it's really, really invaluable. But you still have to work hard, obviously. Of course, of course. And it was like, because we do one year there, it was intense. It's like cramming three years that they do are the rich ones that we do in one year.

So it's wicked. Fantastic. You hear that, guys. So guys, if you're out there listening, like, you know, Wadge is a perfect example. You can actually don't have to go to drama school, but you can go to smaller ones that are affordable and you can come out and you can be doing films of Helen Merrin. How cool is that?

Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis. And what other... I've heard he's a dick, fuck him. Is he a dick? He was your. He was a dick. Yeah, I mean, he kept us

waiting quite a lot. But Bruce, if you're listening, I'm just lying. Yeah. I'm not sorry, Bruce. I love you, and watch I watched a Bruce Willis film last night. I watched Luper.

It's a wicked film. Joseph Gordon Leavitt. Yeah, I would say it's more of a Joseph Gordon Levin movie. Yeah. But I am just, I was just overwhelmed. He plays a younger version of Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis.

And I keep just looking at the screen going, how the bloody hell do you look like Bruce Willis? Like, I was just working out. It was just blew my mind. He lost his hair 20 years later. It's Bruce Willis. Yeah. It's amazing.

There's this thing called makeup that people use. I know, but that was like, award-winning makeup. But also, to happen it to Joseph, he was his acting. He did the voice, he did the look. Very good. The weird side-mouth thing, Bruce does.

It was Joseph doing the acting. Yeah. Yeah. Love that film, Lupa. Check out. It's on Netflix. So check it out. So what else?

Yeah, what was there? I've done another film on Netflix called Good People, which I had a scene with James Franco with, which was really cool. Yeah, I played a bailiff in that one. I didn't play a typical brown guy, but it was really good. So you were a bailiff, not a terrorist? Not a terrorist, believe it or not.

Bro, that's a step up. That's a step up. I know. That's a step up, I don't know what it is. That's a step up. And when was that? It come out to last year, but we filmed that a few years back, 2013.

We filmed that. And you got stuck sort of in. Yeah, you know how it is. It takes really long. on Netflix now, it's called Good People, and you'll see me in the first 10 minutes. I've got a scene with Franco. Fantastic. How is Franco? A bit worse than Bruce, actually.

Oh, my. You just get all the deal. This is when I'm fucking around, man. I'm just lying. It was great, man. We're going to expose you guys, man. Behave yourselves out there. Amazing. I actually recently met Dave Franco. Dave. And I interviewed him. How is it?

Interviewed him. I tried. Well, not that, but I tried to get him to kiss him or to get him to kiss me. I think I saw this. Yeah. He kissed your boyfriend in either, but he didn't kiss you. But he turned me down. He literally turned me down. I was like,

I got rejected by it by Dave Franco. I did also accidentally call him James Franco. Great, yes. That's not the best. Cool, okay, well, thank you. And you're doing any projects at the moment? Yeah, I'm about a film of Channel 4 miniseries, which I can't talk about actually,

but it's coming out next year. And I just done a film called 90 Minutes, which we still got some pickup days on. Fantastic. How long is that film? It's a feature film. How long is it? I'm not good with a sarcasm right now.

Tip your waitress on the way out, thanks, guys. But yeah, that's coming out next year as well. The trailer's on Facebook, called 90 minutes. Check it out. Is it anything like 120 hours? Are you stuck somewhere for 90 minutes? No, no. Actually, I am, yeah.

It's on a football pitch. It's about football. I'm stuck on the sidelines. Are you a terrorist? No, no, but I am paying. Are you a bailiff? I'm not, no, man. I'm paying another brown guy in it, though.

Okay. Iranian. Iranian in this one. I'm going to cover all the Middle East soon. So do you have to, because you're Kurdish, but obviously you're British, but do you have the accent? Are you requested to put on the... 80% of my auditions are with a Middle Eastern accent. Really?

That's good there, yeah. So that tells you a lot. Are there good? You want to know what it sounds like this? It's a bit like this and you curl your ars like this and yeah. That is fantastic. I literally thought I was in... I literally thought I was about to be killed.

I thought there was a terrorist in the room. Like, wow, I think I need to record. Well, thank you for being our first guest. We want to play a little game with you. Going to play a game. Because me and you went to the same drama school, so we would have been, you know, we would have known how to play all these drama games and whatnot.

We're going to play mock auditions, which we did last week with Jason Mazur. Cool. We're going to play it again. So we're going to make up some scenarios. If you want to direct again, Noel, because that's your... I just want to just say, for the record,

I'd have much rather had Riz Ahmed in here. just for the record, bro. It's a shame. It's a shame. You know what I mean? I like to play in the Champions League. You know, being in the Champions League myself and not first division. We all got to get there, you know.

Yeah, no, no. I'm supporting you, brother, which is why I allowed, you know, Johanna to bring you in, even though you're not, to keep you in, even though you're not rich. Anyway, mock auditions.

Okay, okay. So when I say, what was it like working with... Oh, okay. I got you, I got you. But wait, can I just say as well? It was proper sick to see Riz Ahmed here, you know, brother. I haven't seen him in a long time, and you know what, to see him? He sounds like he's doing well, but...

He's doing well, eh. you know I know it was a big o'clock man I love four lions all right

all right so listen what's happening for you right now man this cloud nine business tell me tell us what's going on

yeah no yeah so we got this film called brotherhood and sounds excellent it's amazing so

my character comes back from adulthood yeah because you were in the second film yeah yeah so

with brotherhood people get to get a sense a bigger sense of Henry. He gets to show his character a bit more. And yeah, you know, he's matured, he's grown, you know, he's got a wife, he's got a child,

you know, he's on bigger and better things, he's making jewelry on the sofa with his wife. That's the relationship goals, right? Yeah, I know. That sounds like some great writing there. That's amazing writing, you know? It was amazing writing. There's nothing like that. Pass the crystal, babe. John Silver or...

He's gold. Silver. You get gold, baby. And, and my... By correcting saying you're also in another film that's coming out pretty soon, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm also in a movie called United Kingdom by Amara Santi, starring David O'Uello and Rosman Pike. China, isn't that the woman that you speak to? Oh, you spoke to her this week, because I went... No way.

I know, small world. I went to the BFI Festival launch opening. That was yesterday, right? It was... Or was it the day before? I think it was yesterday. The week just gets smaller and smaller. Yeah, it was yesterday, Thursday.

and basically I got to see all the films that are coming out at the festival but watch them no no I got to see all the trailers oh sorry okay there was so many it took two hours just to sit in the theatre and Lester Square and see all the trailers but the first film the opening film

of the whole entire festival is a United Kingdom and then I got to go and interview the director of it and I saw you, I didn't even know you in that film and then I looked up and there was your face and I was like there's like and he's like oh what took up to do you do it? Yeah because you have an accent I've got an accent in that one yeah

you know I can't do the accent now we are doing interviews You cannot ask me to do these teams now. I love it, I love it. But that's an amazing film. For people who don't know what that is, do you want to just quickly explain to people? Oh yeah, I mean, I'm sure Emma will say it in an interview. But yeah, quick rundown.

It's a period drama set in the 1940s. It's basically a love story between David Oywello and Rosman Pike. It's a true story about Sorette Carmar, who is heir to the throne in Congo, but then he is sent to London. No, sorry, he's sent to England, Oxford University. to study and get prepared to, you know, become king, but then he falls in love with Rosamund Pike.

I love this, and I love you. And I think something very important here that people might have missed. There's black people in this film, and you said it's in the 1940s. 1940s. Now, I want a lot of you young actors out there, especially the black ones, to know that anything... We've been about...

We've been about, as he says. You know, don't feel like anything previous to 1975. You can't get roles, man. You can get it. Let's hope that people are open anything. their minds and making films like this where you can prove that we were hearing. And at Oxford University. And that's the good thing with Amar because Amar loves to tell stories of, you know,

black stories of our culture that haven't been told before. And the good thing with the United Kingdom is, you know, when David's character gets sent to Oxford University to study, it was sort of a time where like it was like a rat pack of educated black, very intelligent men. all in Oxford University like the character that I play his name's Charles Njong Jo

Kenyan but he became the later on after obviously Oxford University he became the Attorney General you know another another guy you know David's character became the president you know

so all of us Is he still alive for your character? Yes he is actually Because that weird playing someone that's still alive and like Did you meet him No I didn't you're Kenya not No no

You ought to start that old school job Okay See where it's going Let's go, let's go, let's go I'm ready, I'm ready But no, the film, like, the trailer It's amazing, and it's a true story True story, man

And it still can kind of resonate today You know, sort of interracial couples And the struggles they face Definitely You know about that, don't you, John? I do Well, I have it from the other way around Because my mom is desperate

For me to have a black boyfriend No way! She literally. Your mom's listening now, is what, isn't it? Yeah, I'll give mum. I'm, listen. I was going to say something. No.

Mom? But Mumsie, like, seriously, you know what I mean? You don't have to fight it any longer. You don't have to fight it anymore. The don't meet is righteous. See, look, she's smiling there. She knows. She knows.

That's Natalie outside. She's one of our producers. She knows. You know about black don't crack, in it, baby. You know about the don't mean. She's nodding. But many people today do. have, they, you know, parents maybe

would still have really old school prejudices. So this film, I think, is going to be, it's going to be very, I'm so excited for this one. Hey, highlights, right, yeah, great. Yeah, cool. And anything else you're up to at the moment? What I'm up to at the moment? Where we go in next week?

Yes, we're going Toronto. We'll get to the six. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I've got, I'm staying here. Yes. We're going to Toronto. We're going, TIF. We're going Toronto International Film Festival,

which is amazing. I've been before. Sick, man. And to go, I've got two films there. Actually, United Kingdom. demand. Brotherhood. Both in a

film festival. The man in the moment. Yeah, another moment. Jahanna's going to be free to run the radio show. I'm going to be here. You're going to miss me when I'm gone.

You're going to listen. What are you going to do without your partner in crime? I'm just going to have to make a cardboard cut out of him and just do his voice and stuff. Bring like a sex doll or something like that. I just have it.

Yeah, hold on. What was that about? What was he a Palestinian with sex toys in his bag? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who thinks of these things? I don't know, man. John.

No, no. They don't come from. my mind. You know what, if it came from your mind, it would be worse, to be honest. Oh man. So, mate, that's fantastic stuff that you've got those two things coming out and going to Toronto with both films. That's brilliant.

Yeah, no, it's a proper blessing, man. It's a blessing. As I said, I went there with The Good Lie last year and, yeah, I know what to expect. So it's amazing, man. So how do you find, because you've got had a big surge in the last couple of years in your career. How have you found it? How have you found it?

How have you adapted to suddenly being able to affirm? afford things and getting things for free. Yeah. Do you know what? You know what I mean? You work all your life to afford it and then they give it to you for free. Yeah. What's the coolest freebie you've ever got?

The coolest freebie? Yeah. Didn't you get a segue? Yeah, but that's not the cool. Do you know, I'm going to say something, but it's going to sound dumb. A kettle. That does sound dumb, bro. It does sound dumb, but I mean out.

Hear me out, hear me out, hear me out. Hear me out. Do you know where I got the kettle from? No. Toronto. All right. You know the gift and sweet? Yeah.

Tell me and makes you pancakes with maple syrup in the morning and I'll like the kettle a a little bit more. I don't get my pancakes but you know, the tea is on pint, man, I'm telling you. You're so British. I'm too British, man. I'm too British. But no, but you did, you got some free segues, and I remember I got, the only time I've ever tried one was on the

Brotherhood set, and we were just like going up and down the costume. Oh, did I bring it? Yeah. I can't remember. Bear in mind. You had two of them running around and we were all having to go on them. I don't think the director was very, because I hear he's a lovely man. I don't think he was too chuffed about you guys running around on a segue in case anybody fell down To be honest, you know, the director, God bless his heart and everything,

but I think, you know, he just doesn't have the balance to be on those sort of things, you know, so, yeah. Is he too old? He's maybe too old. I feel like he stepped on it and he broke his tail about him. He did, he nearly did. But let's not name names on who it was, you know. Let's not name names. I thought he's a wonderful man, though.

Yeah, he's cool, he's cool, he's cool. Rhymes with Schmol Schmark, I think. Smolzsmart. Schmourst, the director, Schmourth. You could have said rhymes with Noah's Ark. Oh, yeah. That one about bar. Or tree bark.

Maybe that's a sign. I should start building a boat or something. Nozark, tree bark. Yeah. Tree bark. All right. So what? Johanna Farke.

Sorry. Oh, no. He was so good at this. I know. I've got to give you this, man. I've got to give you this now. Ayrupe. Oh, no.

No, that's rude. That's rude. You did that to Riz Ahmed. Yeah. No. He got the tumbleweed, rough. Oh, you got the tumbleweed, bro.

Oh, he got the tumbleweed. Oh, he got the tumbleweed. So it's a big out of Storzy for that one. Right. Okay, so what's next now? We are now... Well, we're going to just... I think I'm going to pop to a little song

and then afterwards we're going to play a game on because I've got some dirty things up my sleeve that I'd like to... I'm on it, let's go. ...cle with you. So let me just have a lot of what we've got next. What song do you want, John? Well, I've been listening to not only the Suicide Squad soundtrack,

I've also been listening to the Ghostbusters, the new Ghostbusters soundtrack, the one with all the ladies. I'm still yet to watch that, man. The Labia squad. I haven't seen it yet either. No, it was really good. I'm not too precious about the original, so I just went with a complete fresh mind.

See, I'm like, that's part of my growing up, man. Sometimes I feel like some things, yeah. Just don't touch them. Do you know, there was a big controversy. Massifle the track quickly. There's a big controversy about the fact that it was all women. And a lot of, I guess, nerdy, misogynistic dudes didn't like that. And a lot of girls were really, really like, yes, this is great.

I think what would have been more empowering for women and what would have actually been better is if the women were on an equal footing in a mixed team with the men. Yeah, that would have been cool. So having all women, exactly. I think having all women was too much of a statement. It's too much of like our female.

But, you know what, you didn't? The characters were so versatile and you had like, all the four of them were so different. You didn't, I didn't miss anything. And they were hardcore, like, the fight scene. It wasn't funny. It wasn't overly sexual. It was just a decent fight scene.

And I was just like, engrossed in the action and again the comedy it wasn't playing up stereotypes it was just funny so therefore do you recommend it as a movie then yeah I enjoyed it what did you give out of ten I want a 10 or 5 5 I would say good 6 I didn't like love it I wasn't raving about it but I enjoyed it and I really enjoyed the soundtrack which is why I picked out a

couple of a couple of songs and so this was called American Woman by Muddy Magnolias so I thought we'll just play this and then afterwards we can play a game yeah let's play games all right guys into back row and chill not Netflix and Chill like I said before we'll see you after the break

Oh. Yeah, you've met her a few times. She's a doctor now. That's sick, man. Well, all done. Congratulations, man. Congratulations. Cool.

Yeah, fantastic. So you recently watched a film Arnold was in, right? Or you spoke to the director of a film that Arnold was in, right? I did, which was the United Kingdom. So he spoke to Amma, right? I did. I know I got to catch. Well, I saw her on stage and I recorded her. She did this amazing speech about sort of her journey and everything. So I recorded that. And then afterwards they were like, oh, you've got the opportunity to meet her. Do you want to ask her some questions? So you want to ask her some questions. She was like to meet her. I'm from Streatham. She's from Streatham. I'm from Streatham now as well. So what was she proper cool. I really did connect with her because it turns out she was in Greenville. I was in Greenville. She's from South London. I'm from Streatham. She's from Streatham. I live in Streatham now as well. So yeah. Don't you live in Streatham? a straight home.

It's actually, it's actually, it's actually, it's actually, it's actually, it's actually, it's actually, it's actually, it's actually. St. Retham. St. Retham. St. Retham. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. No.

She's just a St. Retham. With his tea and his kettle. That's his kettle. Yeah. So, yeah. No, no. Amazing. Because I'm from, I'm from South London, so I used to go ice skating and stress him.

So, is she the coolest director you've ever worked with? No, no. No. I mean, I mean, I didn't. The coolest lady director. Oh, yeah. Coolest lady director. We don't sexually...

Yeah, we don't do those things. We don't differentiate because that would be sexism. Oh, okay. Well, let's hear this, isn't it? Yeah, let's hear what Amher said here. Let me just like a line of up. Okay, yeah, this is her talking about a United Kingdom, her brand new film.

And so you said you're from Streatham, you're a Lewisham girl. Well, Streatham. Streatham. South West rather than South East. Okay, from the borderline. Because I'm, yeah, I grew up in South London. Oh, cool. That's my end.

Yeah, so I'm Stretton Vale. Streatham High Road, Stretton Vale. Yeah. And if, because we'll do a micro interview, but like just briefly your journey, how did you go from sort of there to work you are today? Look, first of all, I'm 46 years old. I don't even know if I can remember 46 years ago. But, okay, so I was a really shy child and my dad wanted to bring me out of myself a little bit, but in a very gentle way. But he must have realized that I was very creative.

And so he decided to send me to full-time stage school. You know, don't ask me how he came out with that idea. but he did which meant I was able to from the age of 10 on a daily basis do all of the regular subjects that you do in school but also have singing, dancing, drama classes as well. Maths for jazz hands. Yeah, maths with jazz hands. So I was

super, super lucky, super appreciate and adore my late father for that. So by the age of 14 I was on Grange Hill. They call my episode classic now, that's how old I am and but sort of from 14 to 17 I became really really, really clear that I loved storytelling, I loved the world of entertainment, I loved the

world of narrative stories, but I was a really bad actress. But I had some really... I was a really bad actress, but there were some really great actors around me, and I loved what they did. And in particular, we had quite a strong, tough storyline, one of my sort of last storylines or the years that I was in it revolved around one of the lead characters, who was sort of the character that everybody loved, been totally destroyed by a heroin habit. and I thought he was absolutely brilliant

as he took that journey from a sort of relatively clean living boy to somebody he was completely ruined. I was in awe of what he did. And so I left Grangell at the age of 17, black actress in the late 80s, no work, absolutely no work whatsoever, which was probably not a bad thing for me

since I wasn't a good actress, but I wanted to get my typing speed up and the only way I could do it was by typing stories. I just used to type the stories that were in my head. One of those stories became a script. And the rest is history, really. I got my first series on TV at the age of 25. That was called Brothers and Sisters.

And that's where I first met David E. Yellowow, who's the star of the movie that we're opening the festival with. Is that why you sort of chose to cast him? Because you're like long-standing. He actually chose to cast me. So David, before he did Selma, found the book that our film is based on written by Susan Williams

about Surrexarama who's this king from Betoaniland in 1947 and just thought this would be a great role to play but also a really interesting story of how this couple's love kind of shook the foundations of the empire but he held onto it he held onto it

and waited till he was kind of of a status in a position where he could we would be financed for him to carry a film. And so he got the script. He sort of called the squad together.

I was like, right. He basically called the squad together, eventually called me, said, look, lady, I got a script. I think you should have a look at it. I looked at it. It was really interesting. I had some thoughts on it,

how we could evolve it, all of that stuff. And again, the rest is history. We came together and made this movie. So he was actually on it before I was, along with the brilliant Rick McCullum, who was my day-to-day producer on the film and the kind of engine

of the film and so that David would be able to be on screen and do the acting that he needed to do as well but it's down to the two of them that the film really got made. And when did Rosamond come along? When was she slotted into that? So once I came on board,

the question was, oh my God, who's going to play Ruth Williams? Who's going to play this woman that should play opposite David? And I just loved Rosmond and Gone Girl. I loved the movie. I loved her, but I'd pre-examble. loved her all along anyway and I'd always sort of stood back and watched her at events like

this one that were at now and thought I really there's something I really chilled about her that I like on screen and so she was just an obvious David had worked with her on Jack Ryan yeah um she was an obvious person for us to send the script to and say hey what do you think and not really knowing what she would think you know playing this woman who gets married to an African guy in 1947 and then goes back to Africa and lives out the rest of her life there is that you would Rosman want to play that and she grabbed it with both hands. Like literally she took it by the horns and just loved the idea of it

and threw herself in. Well thank you. I'm so excited because this is opening the festival, isn't it? Yeah, so that's like, wow. Opening the festival. Yeah. Well, thank you so much for your time. I know you're really busy today but really appreciate it. Thank you. Back row and chill with Noel Clark and Johanna James

on Feebar Radio. Hey guys, we're back. That was Amasante, the director of the United Kingdom. Great interview, Jo. Yeah, I just had a quick one. I just grabbed her on the red carpet. I could imagine her. You seized the moment. Seriously, that was a good interview, man.

I was just like, hey, I just wanted to know. But yeah, she was a lovely lady, and I can't wait to see that film. And you're lovely facing it. Well, we've got a couple of emails in talking about you, so I thought. We've got, hey guys, Arnold, you are so sick. I loved you in my brother the devil and the good life. Who do you want to act with next? That's from Zoe.

Zoe. Okay. I don't know, you know, guys. I don't really work like that. You know, I know, you know, it's always good to say it out there so that, you know, you're putting it out into the ether and it will come to fruition, hopefully, you know. But I don't really have any actors, per se, that I would like to work with.

If I'm very happy with actors that I already have worked with and formed bonds with and friendships with. But I don't really care about actors being attached to projects, big actors, whatever. All I really want to do now is just carry on doing good scripts. And it doesn't matter whether it's Hollywood or here. Just the best work possible. Just good stories.

Just good stories. That's all I'm on at the moment. Indy films, big budget films, it doesn't matter. Well, that's what I was so impressed with the BFI. It was just trailer after trailer of amazing stories. And it was so different. Because when you go to the cinema and you see the trailers, most of the time, it's remakes or massive sort of, no offense. Trilogies or things like that. It's like there's no,

they're on original story. Question for you, though. How diverse did it look? Derry. Yeah, well, that's interesting because, you know, that obviously, you know, there has been criticism of them

for not being diverse. The BFR, yeah, it's good to see that they are. It was amazing. Like, you have one story, it was about this story of, um, this Kenyan chess player, this young girl who is like a... Oh, no, no, no, no, Ugandan chess player. Was it Ugandan?

Yeah, yeah, uh, uh, wolf. I swear you. Wolf. I swear you. Ayru by shotgun. Oh, great! Oh, no, yeah, you get. What's it?

The Queen of Catwaite. Yes, yes, yes. David Oywello as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so that was amazing. There was, like, a story, lots of, there's historical true stories about the guy who read, he did a revolution in Georgia against a sort of civil war.

Great, well, I look forward to seeing a lot of those things. Yeah, like, things that have stories from all over the world. Polish, young Polish children in the 80s. Cool. We've got a quick email here before we go to, I know you want to play on another track, before we go to the track, quick email here from Bethann.

Guys, I've only just discovered this show and love it so much. Thank you so much. Can I ask a question? What? Who have you most enjoyed kissing on screen and who would you like to kiss and would you go fully nude?

I have no idea.

No idea. And would I go full nude? I've done it many times. Yeah, he's fully nude in Brotherhood. Right. Back on track, as it were. On to track. On to A track.

I thought I'd play a little song for us. So you can prepare for the next section. So this is also from Ghostbusters. It's called Ghostbusters, but it's by Fallout Boy and Missy. How come you don't even play in play a little brotherhood soundtrack? We have. We played two today. We played two today.

You're not even listening. She's skipping the ground today. Maybe I bump one of those tracks in the same thing. Maybe we'll bump one later track and put one on. But for right now. A bit of Missy Elliott here. Okay, cool. But yeah, we'll get back onto the Brotherhood.

Did you say Missy Elliott? Well, she's not crying, but she's like a little bit. Ghostbusters. It's a little bit more happy. Oh dear. That was the coolest, like, come down from a song. Do you know what? That was a cool tune though.

That was cool. That was all right, you know. That was all right. I really thought, you know, we're not gonna, we're not gonna like that, but that was not bad. Missy Elliott, ghostbusters. So, a couple emails. We got a couple emails in.

Yeah, I'll start off. It says, I thought Suicide Squad was shit. Good cast, though. It was. Shame about the film. I haven't even seen it. You haven't even seen it yet. Well, what would you say has another all-star cast?

What film would you say? Has another all-star cast, but has been a massive letdown. I think Expendables 3 was pretty awful from Dan. Fantastic. Oh, my. Fantastic. I'm all right. I'm right, bro.

That was terrible. Yeah. The money pumped into that. There you go. And the shit that came out. Is that from Dan? That's from Dan. There you go, Dan.

There you go. That's an all-star cast and a terrible, terrible film. And it's like a terrible eight, because every time they do it, it's terrible. And they did it like... Yeah. How many times I've been done, man? Like four times off you.

Let it go, man. It's always terrible. We got another email here from Drew. And Drew says, loving the new show. Thank you, Drew. Also, Brotherhood, big fan. Didn't think you could top the last one. Any recommendations for hip-hop films?

Well, firstly, Drew and everybody listening. Thank you for that. Thank you. We're very proud of it. And we did top the last one, and we're really chuffed. And that's from myself, Arnold and Jana. Any recommendations for hip-hop films? Well, the obvious straight-away, I would say, if you haven't seen it,

is straight out of Compton, which is out now on DVD and download and everything. Any new hip-hop films, guys, that we can think of? Well, there's Two-Pack All Eyes on Me coming out soon. Two-pack All Eyes on Me is coming out soon. What else? Not sure. Do you know what? That is a good question.

I think what we should do, guys, is have a look at what's coming out. But, Two-pack All-Eyes on Me is definitely on. its way out so you should check that out Drew when you get the chance. Thanks for the question. Mm-hmm. All right. Got a little bit of entertainment news. Hit me. Today so obviously I went to the BFI launch party, there we are.

And there's a couple cool things going on over the summer. So there is a new Black Star Award that they're putting in this year, which is specifically for... Black people? Yeah. Okay. I mean, you wouldn't have guessed it, right? I don't know, man.

Why is it called Black Star? Yeah, man. Because I don't know, I had a very nice thorn. Because the start is a black guy. Talk about pointing out, let your black. You're black in it? And let your start. But it's a, yeah, it's a new award category for the festival.

Is that true? You're being serious. Yeah, it's the new Black Star Award, the BFI. So they're honoring work. But that makes sense because, you know, they, have they finished doing it? They started doing a month of playing black films, right? When is this happening, Johanna? Well, the BFI, the festival is actually in October, I think it's the 5th of the 16th of October.

What's the name of the festival? What festival is? Do we know which festival is? It's the BFI film festival. Right, okay, great, great. Yeah, and so yeah, this new awards coming out. So I think that was, I was just like on Arnold. There we are. Mate, I think that's yours, bro. Maybe, maybe, man. I think that's in the bag.

I mean, I can't win it, so, you know. God willing, man. Then also, another thing that was quite cool is that they're building for the festival. They're building a brand new cinema. in Abankment. So it's going to be in that Victoria Park right next to Embankment Station. Oh, wow.

Yeah. They're the best, man. You can go and see as many films in Cinemar's one. Do you know about that, no? No, I'm just thinking about the fact she said at hometown cinema's Peckham, but I know she's now losing Westminster, darling. Oh, you tried to get the street, Chris. I still go back.

I live in Coven Garden at the most of the most of the most of. moment but at the moment did you like move to Ninth Bridge darling from Lewisham and so always went to Peckin and it stayed the same you know those moments where you're just like hold in a second what weird what we're living yeah listen the Cine World card though bro you need to get one is that the one so guys Arnold's recommending a Cine World card and

because our radio station can do what the fuck you want we can promote a Cine World card I personally like view myself I like View Cinemars myself do they have a special and be like members card or anything. I don't know. I tend to get in for free so I don't really know about that kind of thing. Sorry. I'm just throwing out of there.

I like view cinemas. Their popcorn tastes better. It's fresh. It's fresh. It's fresh. What's your choice of snack for the cinema? I tend to not buy snacks from them. Really?

Do you know why? Because I don't. No, I thought. Like a hot dog. Why not? Six inches and it vibrates. Oh, man. No, I don't buy any food.

I don't buy any food. I have to have something in the cinema. No, because I feel like. I have to. Just the other day, there was a guy next to me, and he was eating popcorn, but he was so loud. I wanted to fly kick him, sitting like him. Just not the popcorn at his hand.

Yeah, that's what they're him. He was so... No, I don't want to be that guy. No, I have to have something to eat. I have to eat. Sometimes I'll bring stuff, sometimes I'll buy popcorn. And you know what? I banned myself from ever buying a hot dog or nachos.

I was like, until I am in a film, I cannot. You won't eat hot dogs? I won't buy that snack. So until you're in a film, you won't have hot dogs in your mouth? No, at the cinema. The cinema. No, yes. So I was like, now I'm finally in a cinema movie.

I could buy myself some nachos. And you've got another one in a couple of weeks. Yes. Why, you're killing the game. What's that? All the Natshows, everywhere. She's going to be like, like, in a cinema, a hot dog. Nah, nah, right.

Stop it. But, you know what, yeah, I love my cinema snack. So, super excited. Yeah, that's Scottish muscle. Scottish muscle, you know. Oh, yes. Fantastic. Produced by a wonderful company called Unstoppable Entertainment.

I've heard of them. They're up and coming, they're up and coming. They're doing a thing, man. Isn't that, Schmarsh marks? and Mason and Mason Hazer Mason Hazer and Mason Hazer

it has to be Arnold bumped the other track there was gonna John was gonna play some other track by some nonsense band but we bumped it Chase and Spaters but okay we're gonna go back

to this was picked out by Arnold so let me just make sure so this song's called Fighting It's by a young emcee called AJ Tracy And we all love this track man Big track man So yeah we're gonna play this now

It's on the soundtrack It's a brotherhood which is out right now Go see it tonight after the show Now Background chill John James and Noel Clark And chill with Noel Clark And Jill with Noel Clark and Johanna James

On Fibar Radio Hello What a tune that is I know that's a pretty good tune From the Brotherhood soundtrack Brotherhood the film is out Now It's one of my favourite tunes

on the Brotherhood album, man. Well, one of the things we want to do on this show is review films tell you what we think you should be seeing or avoiding. And so this week I went off and did my research and I saw a couple of films. And the first film I saw was Purge Election Year,

which Arnold has just told me in the break that he's actually seen as well. So you can pitch in on this. I've been a bit busy this week, guys. Just throwing it out of there. What are you doing? What? Just promoting it.

I'll let you off doing your homework. Traveling the country. you off this time doing your homework, but I did my homework. So I'm a fan of the Perch Films. I think the concept was amazing, which anyone who doesn't know what the Purge films are, it's the idea that in some dystopian future,

all crime, crime has been reduced because it has been made legal for 12 hours only in America. To do what you want. To purge your urge to mainly murder people, I think. But all crime's legal, and it's just really freaking creepy. And they've made three to the

third film, the final, third and final. The third and final one, yeah. And so this year, it's the stories follow. The first film followed one family who were on, their house was on lockdown during the purge. They've got to survive the night while all these murders are running around. The second film was about, it was like a group of a cross of five different people who met on the night and tried to battle their way through the city amongst all the crazy people. And the third one is about. Election.

Yeah, it's more political, which weirdly was timed with the American elections. well, well, or not probably weirdly, probably on purpose. And I really I went in there going like, are you just rinsing it for a third? Or like, is there enough story here to make it interesting? But I loved it. Like costumes.

I was, I mean, I watched it on my own as well, which I don't really like. Is it scary? It's scary, but they say that the director said it's, they wanted it to be more action, not horror. That was his intention for all the films. I think it's definitely going to be the last one because if I remember correctly,

with this final one Don't give it away I think it is the last one though Can I just ask a question Just pretend I'm the layperson here This film is about people allowed to Do any crime they want for 12 hours Right and then after that it goes back to being normal

Yeah and apparently in this society That crime is like on the lowest it's ever been Like people don't commit crimes in the year Have you not seen it at all? No they look terrible to me No it was honestly the way that they're so punchy. If you want to go to the cinema

and have like a punchy, racie, hour and a half. And this one, they went in a different direction and they went more into sort of religious cults way. So people purge, they purge religiously and they have sort of mass murder, like literally in a church as a mass.

So there was all sorts of more horror things. And people tend to, they treat it like a Halloween. They dress up in these cool masks. And this one was interesting because they had like a girl gang. specifically all girls and they came out and they were wearing all these like amazing. And they came to the shop right?

Yeah and they're trying to get their candy bars and they're going to kill for their yeah it's just like it's basically the whole things are taught I guess a piece on kind of what would happen if we were allowed to let off true and I remember thinking looking at it being like this is sick

like this is an entertainment and then I realized I was watching a film about it and I was being entertained so I was like there must be a small part of us that are a bit Uh, like that. So that's out now, is it? That is out now, yeah. And that should be the second film you see after Brotherhood.

After Brotherhood, if you're still looking for something else, I would recommend going to see Purge. Because, you know, get ready for Halloween. Halloween's next month. We are in September now. Is that Halloween next month? It is. I don't celebrate them pig indeed.

Me neither, man. I kick down a pumpkin display in Whole Foods me. I don't mess about. I'll dash the eggs back at them when they do. Kids, just stay there. I'm just going to throw you some candy. I'll get some candy. Boiling a kettle.

shh, I want to kill. Perge on them. By the time it hits them, it wasn't boiling anymore. That is exactly the purge attitude. So, yeah, I did a little bit of research about the movie because I was interested. And the director said, there's some little factoids behind the scenes.

Yeah, how did the director in the right even come up with a concept? Because it's a pretty dark concept. He said that he had a near-death experience with his wife in the car. And this other driver sort of came at them and nearly killed them. And they got out and they had a bit of a hustle. like the guy didn't seem remorseful at all in any way for nearly killing them. And when they got back in the car, the wife went, oh, if we could just, you know, if I got one free one a year, oh, that'll be him.

And that's where he kind of got the idea. And he's like, oh, what if we could get one free one a year? Who is his wife? Yeah. So it all came from his wife, which is cool. Originally, they were going to have it as a slash comedy. And there was going to be like comedic elements. And then when they got into it, they were like, no, that ruins it entirely.

So we're going to keep it completely serious. there is a lot of the scenes were improvised because they shot specifically the third one they shot it guerrilla style out and around in the city so because a lot of it's all at night so outside the candy shop and stuff they kind of just let the girls go wild with their chainsaw I don't believe that apparently I don't believe

it like we all work in the business guys like this is a studio movie they didn't be shooting nothing guerrilla style I've got money man I can imagine though the original one was very low budget I can believe that but wait when you say the original was very low budget to what standards?

Like that's... Like probably 5 million, made about 100. Okay, all right, well, the budget of this one was 12 million. The newest one, right? Oh, maybe it was...

The only way that they did guerrilla style is if that 12 million went in the director in his wife's pocket and they made it for one million. Or the rest went into promotion. Do you know what I mean? Well, just to put it into perspective, so they spent 12 million on the purge film

and they got a 200 million return. See what I'm saying. And the... Gorilla style. Which was less than... So 12 million is actually less than the catering bill on the film Oblivion. You know, Tom Cruise's sci-fi film Oblivion? How much was catering?

The catering bill was more than 12 million. That's what I'm saying, on that film? Put catering. Yeah. Not, no. You've been on their chicken and chips. You've been on an American film, like me, right? So you know, craft service is, obviously.

When you try to trick the man and be like, yo, can have an omit with goat's cheese and he's like, all right. Yeah, quickly. It gives you everything you want. So the purge. Thumbs up or thumbs down. So I said massive thumbs up. Like, I enjoyed it, and I thought that they kept enough.

It wasn't just to repeat you the other ones. They put in all twists and turns and you're jumping through the whole time. Right, so the second film, I went to see. I got invited to an exclusive preview screening. So this film isn't out yet, but it's going to come out in the next couple of weeks, which is Blair Witch, which is Blair Witch, too. Wow. Ooh, eerie.

Well, this isn't the right film, but it's scary. Scary music, you know, just to get a little. So I'm not a fan of horror films. Like, I have an overactive imagination. I just tend to stay away from them because I know that I'm going to have grief afterwards but I couldn't resist going to see the film and I really enjoyed it

as a piece of technical film. And that's coming from someone who doesn't like horror films I know. Well it was an interesting concept because obviously the first film was super low budget and it was all filmed on sort of shaky hand cans which people at the time in the cinema were throwing up because they weren't used to everything. That's right.

Which was the first in its kind at the time. Yeah it was really like... And the marketing for Blair, which I might add back in the day, was genius. Because everybody wasn't sure whether the legend was real or not. People thought it was real. Yeah. It was brilliant. They thought that was a real tape that they found.

Yeah, exactly. And the iconic scenes with the snot in the girl's nose. Come on, man. Amazing. Well, this film, it kind of, it's a remake, but it's also like an update, but it's also a sequel in the sense that the girl Heather from the original film, Heather's little brother has now grown up and he finds, somebody finds a DV tape, so getting a little bit. more ahead in technology. And when they look through, when they review it,

they think they see Heather in the tape. So they decide there's a documentary, his friends are documentary makers and they're like, let's go back out into the woods. What a great idea. And we're going to go and see if we can find Heather from the original movie. And this time, but they go out and they're fully prepared

and they have a drone. They have these like ear, all the branding technology so they've got like the Cannondies and they've got their vlog camera, and they've got each character in the film, there's six of them go out into the woods and they've each got like an earpiece camera. So that means that as a filmmaker, you can choose whether you're looking at the POV

of each of the characters. So you can do this shot, this shot, this shot, and then you can do drone shots. They also set webcams up in the woods. You can't choose when you're watching the film though. No, no, you can't choose. But I'm just imagining as the director, I was imagining like, or the editor, I was like, this is amazing. You can see, it's not all just like shaky cam. It's very cleverly, but legitimately, a group of people in the woods. Can I ask your question?

Go on. So in terms of the film, if I remember correctly from the first one, do you ever, in this one, do you ever get to see the enemy? Do we see witchy? Because I think I see her in Sainsbury's round my eyes. There's a woman, I'm like, that's the Blair Witch. In this one, they go a little bit further back into the history of who the witch is and the legend of the witch.

And apparently, if you look at her, you die. So it's all around this thing of like, just don't look. She can be there next to you. but as long as you don't look. So you could be like, and she could be like all figling your ears. Yeah, so right up to the end of the film. But if you look at her.

So you're safe if you go right into the corner because it was like in the legend. You're just going to give them the people's over. Can I ask a quick question as well before you finish review? Yeah. In the group of people that go through it, is there black people in that group. Yeah.

There is. This film's not real. And he went to the woods with them. Thank you. It doesn't make no sense. This film is not real. It's a black girl. I'm not having it.

Black people don't be sneaking into the woods. I'm gone. If I hate, Are you not, is that, what's the girl's name? Is that red-tete in the video? Let's go to the woods. Get that. Honey, get the car, get the car.

Yo, we out. I'm out. How many black people die in Mount Everest? None? Because we're climbing our fucking mountains in the cold. We're climbing that shit, bro. How many black people get eating by shocks? None.

No. Because we're not swimming near them. And another point I wanted to make up this film is that, you know when you're in a film and you're, and someone's like, what's that noise? Let's go over there. And you're like, no, no, you wouldn't. Don't tell me they do that in this film. No, no, no, in this film, they do it as if, that's why it's probably more scary.

They are actually in your position. So they first go into the woods, the very moment that something freaky happens, they hear like a weird noise. And they go, guys, what's that noise? Should we go check it out? Everyone goes, no, fuck that shit. And then as soon as it does get a little bit creepy,

they all go, right, we're out, we're out, like, this is not funny. They've taken diverse casting too far, because black people are not sneaking in the woods looking for witches. And that's the truth. But no, the whole point is they get stuck in the woods. and because of this one gets a little bit,

I want to say sort of sci-fi paranormal. Ah, wow. Another question. Does that said black person do they die? That's a spoiler. That's a spoiler. That's a spoiler.

You can't go there. I need to know. You need to watch the film. They probably die first. They probably die first. They're probably just what I need to know. But like... If they die first, we're back on track.

It's normal. Yeah, it's normal. I can buy that they went into the film. because they die first. It's what I'm saying. But it was so well acted. And yeah, and you really felt for them

because they did react normally like they were freaking out and then they were trying to get out of the woods and they couldn't get out when they wanted to. Stuff happens that stops them from getting out. There was nothing that could happen that would stop me getting out of those woods. I'm telling it, well.

Unless it's some juju, brother, that's stopping you. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Some dark magic that you can't go. Because they got all GPSes and stuff for everything you would have now and like what happens if you...

What happens if your GPS? That scares me. That scares me. So, Joanna James, Blair Witch, two. Thumbs up, thumbs up. I was a massive thumbs up, especially if you're looking for one of those. I was like on the edge of my seat. I was like, you know, definite thumbs up, yeah.

And I don't even like horror films. All right, I might check that out. Guys, Blair Witch, after Brotherhood. After Brotherhood. Which is out now, by the way. Hold on what is, so Blair Witch is out now, now. No, no, no, that's coming out. I think it's on the 16th of September.

I saw an early preview of it. So when you've seen Brotherhood eight times, check out the Blair Witch. So wait, so once you've seen Brotherhood eight times, and then they've seen Brotherhood eight times, and they you've seen United Kingdom eight times. Then you go watch. And yeah, so I did a little bit of research about the original Blair Witch because I was like, okay, okay. And yeah, like I said before, there was a lot of motion sickness in the cinema because they've never seen that kind of thing before.

It took just eight days to shoot the original. This is not the new one, the original. And the actors, they were given less food each day to build up the tension because they shot it linear as well. Oh, wow. I didn't know that. Yeah, and a lot of it was improv. The actors didn't know. They were just put in that scenario

and told to sort of improv it. So no script, no definite script. They're just scenarios. That's good, man. And they were told to film, they filmed it all themselves. And 19 hours of usable footage was, like, collected.

And they had to go through that to make it down to, like, an hour and a half. They literally went up to the woods for eight days and got the shit scared out of them. That's terrible. I don't like the song. So basically, they were actually, scared.

It's the best way that was in wild film it is. Yeah, because they went to this open casting call I saw an interview

with the actors and they said that it was just for a self-filmed improv-style movie feature film and they didn't know what it was

kind of thing and they got cast one of the guys got cast just because he was the only one that knew how to hold a camera

and use a camera so they didn't tell them what it was like I paid them like equity minimum it's like minimum

and then and then they went out to the woods and so like no back in certain points in the film they were just

put in situation and they were thrown, freaky stuff was thrown at them and they just had to react to it and a lot of it was genuine. So this film, the new film obviously is a lot more, because our audiences have evolved as well. We need more entertainment. We need it to be more jumpy. I'm massively claustrophobic. There's a scene where this

girl, she has to go underground to escape the witch and I was dying in the cinema just watching it like, oh, you had to leave, but it was, they up the game, they up the scare factor, they up the jump factor. Everything's just like, up, up, up. Did you, did you,

just a random question. So, see the actors from the original one. Have any of them gone on to do any other things? Not really. A few little bits here and there, but their careers fizzled out pretty quickly. Within four or five years, I think they were kind of out. But they did get quite a bit of money from

that first of all. I can imagine, right. What else did you see? That is all I saw for the film reviews of this week. Fantastic. It was honest film reviews and a little bit of TV. Honest film reviews and a little bit of TV. A little bit of TV. A little bit of more. Yours is better than my

Damn it, Arnold. What film would you like to review, Noel? Me? No, no film, really. I thought you had to... Yeah, no, she's right. So, guys, on DVD right now, Captain America, Civil War. Now, listen, listen.

I'm going to tell you, Captain America Civil War is on DVD and downloads now, whatever, you know, iTunes and all the other places you can get them. Essentially, it's part of the Avengers and a Marvel. franchise and you guys if you miss this one and missing a treat because this essentially I think is one of the best films

of the collection so you should immediately watch it so you got Captain America falling out with the Avengers versus Iron Man falling out with some of the Avengers and they both take sides to become to Civil War and the new Spider-Man makes an appearance he does the new young guy. The new Spider-Man makes an appearance and is cool as fuck so guys

Captain America Civil War out now iTunes DVDs, Blue Rays or that thing from Marvel go go check it out home yeah I recommend that one as well. I watched that on the airplane and I loved it and that's the first Spider-Man that's actually age appropriately cast

like he's actually 17 rather than like a... Not like 32 in high school and you're like bro if you should be getting in a... Yeah you graduated. Only thing about that film was because I love it. But where was Thor? Well you see... Where was he? He's off. He's doing his... Yeah you see... Because he had everyone but Thor. But you've got to wait till you see Thor Rangar. 4-3's

Have you seen the little comic thing that they've, this little, have you seen Marvel have released this video, this funny video of Thor? And he's talking about, why wasn't I in that film? I've not seen that, I'm going to check out. It's primarily going around.

And he's saying that basically, he took time out, and he's lived with some random guy called Tom, and Tom's his friend now. Was it Facebook Tom? No, MySpace, Tom. It's not my Space, Tom. With his classic picture, like that. He's, I don't know where that brother is.

He's got money, man. He's cool, man. He's chilling. He's got my. I just realised that it got pretty geeky, so I get to play my geeky button. Because we're talking about all our comic-y stuff. Amazing.

You don't need it. So hold on. So pronounce it for a name again for me? Adira, Anoselay. Addua. Anna. That's a queen's name, right? I know, man.

You know what I mean? That's a queen's name. I'm about to leave my missus out here. The power of a name. So tell us about yourself, huh? So I'm here because I've got a show on that I wrote and directed. Some theatre. Some theatre, darling. As part of Africa Utopia at the South Bank Centre.

And it's called Expensive Shit. And it's about toilet attendance. Wow. That's amazing. So is the show expensive, though? Is it expensive? It's 10 pounds. That's not too bad, though, isn't it?

That's not too bad. It's a live theatre? Yeah. Bargain, exactly. Exactly. Would that be like, or is it the name to do with the actual piece? The name is to do with the actual piece, but also it's based, it's based in two toilets. One in the Shrine Nightclub in Lagos.

Shrine Night Club was Felakuti's club when he was alive. Felakuti, yeah. And the second set of toilet is in a club called. the shimmy in Glasgow, where a story broke in 2013 about a two-way mirror in the girls' toilets, and men could pay to go and sit in a room, £800 per night, sit in a room and watch the girl's toilets without a girl's knowing. So all I've done... That's real? Yeah, it's real. It's real. And I was like, where is this? That's terrible. Give me the address to this place so I can complain about this.

This is awful. Just text me the postcode. Honey, we've got to go down there and stop this. Maybe I've got going to tell them to stop. So is it the same character that goes from Nigeria? Yeah. So she's... Yeah, basically. So she's an older woman in Glasgow and she's a toilet attendant.

But her past is as a wannabe dancer in Felakutie's band in the 90s in Nigeria. So this is the true story? Well, it's based on true facts. But, you know, I've gone... I've had... Creative license. Yes. Yes.

And you wrote it yourself. Yeah, I did. Amazing. And you star in it? No, no. I've got four actresses. Yeah, four, it's a forehander. Okay.

Yeah, so they all dance, switch accents, switch locations. I have a question for you. Yeah. This sounds amazing and I would love to see it. I have a question for you, though. As a black woman, writing and directing, have you, has it been a challenge to get to where you've got? Do you look at people at Amar Asante and kind of go, man, that's kind of my inspiration?

You've got to make your own work. Yeah. Because nobody's going to give it to you. That's what I'm talking about. You know what I mean? That's the reality. I was first an actress and you know

I felt I was all right but I just wasn't getting the parts and I knew that if I wanted to create my own work I had to go for it so yeah that's amazing you hear that guys you've just got to go for it you've just got to go for it you've just got to go for it

you can't wait for people to yeah write it yeah write it I was scared to write I was just like letting off gas in the corner of it's like I'm saying congratulations he's nervous he's in the presence So the queen is there.

The queen is here. But she says the name again. You're right, Iris? Sorry, nervous. All right, that's great. So you wrote, yeah, because I used to be so scared of writing because I thought being a writer

was some sort of like far off high. But then I was like, no, I've got some stories. And I did. And I'm just going to scribble that down, scrimble that down. So how did you start going? Did anyone encourage your writing? I think Schmolschmark did. Oh, right.

Okay, sorry, Kelly. That's good, because I think that's part of it as well, as having people around you can help. you and inspire you and support you as you're writing. But I think theatre needs different voices, so it's not about getting it right. There's no right way of writing. It's just a voice, and every voice is original, so just put it on paper. Absolutely, that's right.

And how long is the show, is it? It's 55 minutes, crammed, 55 minutes. I don't like to bore audiences, so it's, yeah, there's a lot going on. And, yeah. Amazing. And how long is this Fest at Africa Utopia Festival? So it's up till the 4th of September. And the whole point of the festival is to celebrate the fact that Africa can lead the way in terms of technology, gender, art, film, all these things.

Because, you know, Africa gets a bad press generally. And so it's just highlighting all the different things that the continent leads on. So there's lots of arts exhibition, there's dance, there's music, the Cape Town Opera is there, their fashion shows. It's really exciting. Yeah, that's amazing. That's amazing. And how many shows are happening at the Africa Utopia? So we have, I'm afraid, we're sold out. But we're coming back.

Yeah, we must be reprising. So this is a shout out to anybody who wants to bring my show to London. We're coming back. Yeah. Guys, anyone listen to you've got to bring the show to London. It sounds amazing. Yeah, be good. We've got two shows tomorrow and one show on Sunday, but it's sold out. But there's loads of other stuff going on that's really, really exciting.

Like Cape Town Opera are doing this. this massive opera about the life of Nelson Mandela. And that's an amazing piece of work. So that's there. There's like a whole exhibition on dandyism, African dandyism. Tell me what that is. For those who don't know what dandyism is, let's tell me what dandyism is. Can you help me?

Right, dandyism. I think it's just about guys who dress in flamboyanty. Yeah, I was thinking like the dandies is there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's a bit dandy. So it's kind of like, he's a bit dandyism. I can get dandy still sometimes. You know what I mean?

It's just about looking fly and looking good. Yeah, you look quite good now. You look good now, Mark. Andy, Arnold, you're looking very dandy, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. Look at you, your little dandelion. Look at a dandelion.

Thank you. This is so exciting. And have you previously to this show? Is this like your debut show, or if you have? I wrote another show actually about a woman called Henriette Talax. You heard this story. The first cells to be kept alive outside the body were from a black woman in Baltimore

except nobody asked her in the 1950 exactly and her family found out in the 1990s by which point her cells were in 90% of labs in the world they'd been bought and sold and bought and sold the birth of the pharmaceutical industry was based on her cells

the woman didn't know and her family didn't know so I read this brilliant book called The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lax which you can get and I was just furious man I was furious that I didn't know about this woman who's affected all our lives. If you've taken a pill

stronger than an aspirin, you owe it to her. Because of the fact that her cells survived. Yeah, and also they tested all sorts of things on her cells because they were the first human cells that you could test stuff on. That's amazing. So Oprah's doing a film. That's what I was going to say. Are you writing the film script or anything like that? Wouldn't that be great?

Have they worked out why her cells survive? Well, I think it's because they were cancerous cells, right? But nobody really knows, and that's why her family thinks it's like, spiritual dimension to it like that she was pissed off with the way that they treated her because it was during

Jim Crow and she would have gone into a coloured hospital and all that kind of speech marks uncolored right and so they feel like it's her cells kind of going, yeah yeah so yeah if I can have the memorial cells I'll have some of them sort of you know

yeah a moral cell pill that's amazing well that's an amazing story and obviously it would be interesting hopefully they don't Americanize the story too much Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it? Hollywood it too much. Yeah, yeah. And would you ever think about a film of your show or a TV show?

Actually, I have been approached, and it's interesting, because I don't know how sexy toilet attendants are. I know, I know a few that are not bad, you know. Well, that are sexy? Yeah, yeah, not bad, you know. I've seen a few uncles in there that. Strong women. It's funny because, like, male toilet attendants tend to be younger than female ones.

Really? Yeah. Not that I've seen that many and I'm hung around in boys' toilets. But when I see them, they seem to be younger to me. They seem to be like, you can get guys like in their 20s, early 30s, right?

But then women are generally like... That's because you guys are smarter enough and you've had your career and then you're chilling and like, I'll be a toilet-tolerant and the young guys are whatless and they're like, you know what? I'm lazy, I'm not going to go to the toilet. The guys, they look older,

so I don't know if it's the toilet smell aging them. Oh, man. Can't think of a worse job. I can't think of a worse job. I can't think of a few words. worse jobs than that. Really? Yeah. What? I don't know, but worse.

I'm not at the moment. Shit shoveler. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Although they do have to do some of that. I don't know, you know? I think there's separate cleaners that come in. The attendants are the ones. They spray you with the team, give you the towel. Do you know what? I didn't realize.

They don't get paid. No, they take the tips. They live purely, for the eight hours during the club. They just get tips. I thought they were basic. No. So what they've started doing is they get paid as cleaners in the day and then they just stay through the night.

I didn't know that. Yeah, it's all on tips. But that's, it's such a, it's a cool subject because everyone's been to the toilet within a, like everyone knows. I've never been to the toilet. I've never been to the toilet. Everyone's been to the night.

And everyone's met an attendee, they've all got a attendee's story or like, you know, especially when you get a really nice one. You know, you're just like, I really like, you know what I mean? Yeah, man. Yeah, they got, in the girls one, mate, it is like,

one time I needed one. It's like a boot similar. Listen, that's a long story that I won't even go into, but, but, but, No, amazing. Well, thank you so much for coming on.

Sorry, it's been so brief. But we're nearly at the end of the show now. September 1st to the 4th is expensive year. Africa Utopia and the South Bank Festival. But come and see lots and lots of other things as well. It's really exciting. I love the South Bank Center. It's all going on.

Well, thank you so much. Well, we're just going to play a little trail now, and then we're going to go into the end of the show. Thank you so much for having me. Adura Onoshale. Oh, my God. What? I have with Tom Davis.

Before every gig I used to do to listen to Leona Lewis. If I get up any day and I feel I don't try 100%. If you get up. Sometimes I just lay there just listen to power balance. Yeah, right. The light that comes into your life, mate, will come through a power balance. I had no idea Leonor Lewis had that power. Yeah.

Jesus, man. That voice. There's days that I genuinely sit at my desk. And I think, gosh, you're doing now. He gave me so much hope. There's so much. I'm like, you're worried about what she's doing? I'd like to return a favour.

I knew that was coming. I hate you. And that's how I'm kind of, I know, because he was a child star as well. He was in Grange Hill, weren't you? That's how we love each other. Oh, CBBC. You're all BBC buddies. Yeah.

That's right. It always shows sound wonderful. I might just, you know. They're all right. They sound wonderful. Before them, there was only post for the platform. Oh, God. No, don't like me.

But honestly, you were in Kaching. I remember watching you in Kiching when I was a kid. Yeah, I watched Kiching. Yeah? Of course I did. When I was a lot fatter. Plump. You're still pretty plump now.

I'm just want to throw that out there. Hey, look. Look here. A six-pack is better than a keg, yeah? That's what they say, but it's not true. So listen, so you're going to be on the show when a lot, you're actually one of our co-hosts. Especially when I'm doing my filmy stuff

We've also got Jack Binstead, who's in Bad Education. Yeah. And we've also got Kevin Freshwater lined up, so we've got a block. Oh, nice. You've got some great co-host when I'm not about me.

Maybe I should not come back. Surrounded by men. No, no, you're my favourite. But I'm surrounded by a man. talented men all the turn. And also, we're also going to have a film reviewer come in. Yes. Lucy Patterson. She does

some real world review shit and she's going to be coming in reviewing films as well with you. Yeah, she may help my film reviews because I do a lot of homework and I love talking film with anyone who will listen. It sounds like you have an action pack for a couple weeks coming up, man. You're going to have to come back as well. I'm going to come back, definitely. That's it. Next week's meant to be amazing. Who we got in again?

Well, next week we have got Dot Brown. Dot Brown. Yes, he's in a new Jave's film. the, what's it called? Life on the road. Which is the, you should watch after you've watched Brotherhood, of course, of course, of course. And it came from a sketch that they did and it's developed into a film.

So I look forward. I've got to go watch that this week. I can check that out. After I watched Brotherhood, of course. Of course. And then go watch that out. Is that out? Is it already out?

Yeah, yeah. So we're coming to the end of the show. We're going to play one of the last songs. And we're beating it. What song is it? Well. Is it nice? Is it beating?

No, no. Right. So what I do is, obviously. See, I try and pick songs that are connected to films, but Blair Witch doesn't have a soundtrack because it doesn't have... It's got that thing, and then, yeah, that's the, you know, the theme tune. What is that, me? Look, I'm not a singer.

Nor just press two at the same time. I don't know why I liked it. No, what I did is I looked up the top films of 1990, not top films, top songs of 1999 when Blair Witch was released. And I just picked my favourite, which was no Scrubs by TLC. Oh! No, pigeon was best. So listen, we're going to be out.
