It's Johanna James. And myself, T.J. A.K. Teage World. We are kicking off the year. This is it. First Friday. No, it's not first Friday of the year, is it? Oh, my gosh.

Where are we? What is the day? Friday the 13th. It is. Oh my God. Are you, are you, does that mean anything to you?

Or are you like, No, no, I'm all about, that means that's when you go get tattoos on Flash Day. Lots of tattoo shots do Flash Day. Oh, really?

On Friday 13th? Yeah, on Friday 13th. So you get like a tattoo for like 50 quid or like half the price or, you know, quarter the price. Half a tattoo. Yeah,

half a tattoo. But you have like a board, which is a flashboard and you pick something and it's usually something scary and whatever. It's usually something shit. No, it's usually something good. Well, I'm going to go down to Dharma tattoos down in Bow and get myself a tattoo.

And they're really good there. But I mean, it depends where you go. I trust you of your tattoos. You've got a lot of decent tattoos. But you can get some rubbish. I mean, sometimes that is the thing with a flashboard, you just, it's the discount. You just end up getting something stupid. Cheap tattoo.

But we see. You've got some nice ones as well, actually. We admire each other's ink. Whenever we see each other's, I'm like, you've got anything new. Got anything new? I'm a fan of the ink. So, what has the... funniest lady on Facebook and YouTube

in the whole wide world in my opinion been up to recently What have I been doing? Well I kind of We took everyone sort of takes some time out Over Christmas which is kind of hard When you work on social media and things like that Because you still feel like you need to do it Even on Christmas Day I was like should I tweet

Should I Instagram? Take a break! Have a kicker! You got to have a kick get at me You've got to get out So I did. I chilled out over Christmas Okay Which was nice Really nice

And then now I've got to like get back into it But I'm sure at how far into the month we are already. Uh-huh, uh-huh. And it's like, whoa, whoa. What's happening? What's happening? Uh-huh. That's all right. That's all right.

So where did you spend Christmas and when did you spend New Year? Did you turn up on either of those? I did Christmas at my mommy and daddy. Oh, lovely. I've met Jahan's parents. They are flipping funny. Oh, my gosh. There should be like an Osbournes at Johannes' house.

Like, it's so good. It's so fun. Yeah, they should have their own TV show. They should. So we went, did Christmas there, which was great. And then I did New Year, we went out with mates, ended up in Clapham in London. We didn't really have a plan.

What, on that strip with the bars and cocktails? We went into, where were we? Where were we? It's revolution in Clapham and we had a good night. Vodka Revs? Yeah. Oh, snap. Vodka Rebs is always a good night, a good turn-off in vodka revs.

I went to vodka revs in Northampton. Oh, that's where you were in New Year? And what is it with vodka revs and always having Hindus in there? I know. And guys, if you stop going on Tinder and start going to Vodka Reds because you are more likely to get more swaps in Vodka Reds than you are on Tinder, I'm not even in like, the place is flooded with gorgeous hen parties. Flooded with me. Right. Swimming.

Swimming. Right, so what did, so you were in Northampton? I was in Northampton. Did you get a New Year's kiss? Did you get a little smooch at midnight? I had about four at the same time. Ew. Oh, that is not like,

dentist recommended. I don't think. Or a hygiene made. It's not hygienic. No, it was a good, good, good new years. I stayed in North Hampton because I was up in North Hampton. You're on tour, aren't you? On tour, for four months.

I was doing a play called Peter and the Starcatcher. I was playing a lost boy, as I'm still in my 20s, so I can get away with it. Just. Just. I'm not as young as Johanna, but I'm not as old as Noel. but I'm just in my 20s. And now I'm sticking, man, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. But anyway, I was up there doing a prequel to Peter Pan.

And I think we spoke while I was away as well. So it's weird because being away from London so long, coming back, I couldn't even remember where this was, where the studio was. I couldn't remember where the cups were in my house. I felt for it. And I felt so overwhelmed going in, like, I'm scared to go to West End because there's too many people. Like, even just coming back, it's like, everything's fast and everything's like, I feel like I was in open prison for four months.

Yeah. I've been away. I'm trying to climatize. So you've been all over... All over the UK touring with this new Disney show, right? Tony nominated Disney show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It won five Tony Awards in New York in 2012,

and so they brought it to Northampton. They tried it out here, and hopefully it will progress and come to the West End. Oh, fingers crossed you, mate. But we'll see, because... Musical is not easy. Yeah. All right? But it's really dark.

It's a dark one and the costumes were all like tailor-made and all denim and it was all dark and stuff so it was really big. Okay, you got a little bit more streetcred. And you were like, yeah, I've been away on a Disney play, Peter Pan. Oh, no, no, no, it weren't tacks and stockings. Don't get twisted. It was the bad man, Peter, you know what I'm saying?

Right, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I hope it comes to London because I want to come and see you. Yeah, that would be really cool. Right. So first show back, we've got a lot to get through today. We've got a lot of reviews.

There is like, there is films coming out all over the shop right now because it is BAFTA and Golden Globe season. Yeah. It is award season, so there is so much going on. It's getting a bit political as well. So the golden glows has happened. That's happened already. And the BAFTAs is coming.

Am I correct? The BAFTAs come. The bastardsers are coming. The bastards are coming. And then of course the Oscars as well. Oh yeah. So, you know, the royalty of all the awards. So we're going to be chatting about that.

We've got on the show today, we've got a guy from the BAFTAs. Oh, shut up. Coming in to like let us know. Because I actually don't know. I know about a. awards ceremony but I don't really know how it works how it works and who sells the envelopes you know what I'm saying independent of do the key or don't know like the guy with the white gloves on the lottery does he do it or who makes sure that the person who puts

the name in the envelope isn't just putting their own name yeah that's what I'm saying I swear you'd be like TJ nominated for best female best supporting actor best supporting actress I'll put my name in every single envelope if I could if I could fill them I tell you that so we've got Jim Bradshaw from he's head of film at Bafter he's going to come in. We've also got some other actors to come in. We've got James Highland and Michael Sean in the studio talking about their theatre company.

I went today, not today, I went this week and I interviewed a load of the cast members from the new triple X movie, Return of Zanda Cage, including Ruby Rose and Nina Dobreve. So we're going to be talking to them later on. Oh God, Ruby Rose! I know, I'm in love with that woman. I'm in love with her.

We've also got Amber Dogthorn in the studio. She is a social media comedian star, doing kind of like what I do really. Is it? Funny shit on the internet. And we've got Lucy Patterson coming in, of course. Of course.

To review the film. Review the film. Review them. Review them poply. Properly, now I mean. Right, let's pop to a song. Can I just say, did you get to meet Donnie N? Because if you got to meet Donnie N, there's going to be a problem.

Because I love Donny N. I did interview Donnie N. Shut up. That's it. I quit. He's out. No, I'm just joking. Man.

Come on guys. To make up for it. Make up the fact that I got to meet Don't. Johnny Yen, you can pick one of your song choices for today. So what would you like me to play for you right now? I would like you to play Popping by Chris Brown. This comes from the movie Stomp the Yard. It's Chris Brown, I think, one of these first songs that he brought out.

And it's from that dance movie Stomp the Yard. Yeah. Nice. Stop the Y'all, a bit of Chris Brown. Oh, okay, controversial. We can talk about him when we come back. Is it? So from now it's Popin by Chris Brown. This is back row and chill.

What's he done now? Ooh, that was smooth. That was a smooth one, thank you, T.J. Pappin by Chris Brown. Poppin. No, please leave it to Chris Brown, please. Okay, thank you. Not bad.

Okay. You're listening to Bacro and Chill, Johanna James, and today with Teage World. Teage, that's me. We've got our first guest in the studio. A huge welcome, thank you to Jim Bradshaw. He's the head of film in the awards team at BAFTA. So thank you very much for coming in. Actually, you deserve the fanfare.

I salute you. I salute you. Yes, Jim, I salute you. Right. Yes. This is the godfather of the Bafters, really. That's what they call me. He's like the Wiley equivalent.

You know, you could be, if the enemy did film... I've never been called that before. The Wiley of the Bafters right now. That's it. I've crowned you. Thank you very much. I accept the crown. There you go.

Amazing. So, I was so excited that you were going to be coming in so that we could sort of pick your brains. Because for a lot of our listeners, my level of award show knowledge, is, well, I kind of see the outside of it. I see the glitz and the red carpet and I sort of check up on...

Which is a big part of it. Yeah. I check up on who's won what and stuff, but I don't really know the process of how anything would even get to be viewed or like awarded anything. And I don't really... Yeah, because me and teacher was saying

like how, what... Who really chooses what wins? And how do we ensure that the real winner actually wins? Yeah. Because I mean, if I was doing the envelopes, yeah, okay, right, I was the independent adjudicator, you know, like the man with the white gloves from the lottery, yeah?

The woman, it's a woman. It's a woman on the BAFTAs. Okay, so if I was a lady with the white gloves like from the BAFTAs now, yeah, I would just put my name in all the envelopes. I'd be best actress, best supporting actress, best female, lifetime achievement. I'd be, it'd be teach.

That's my job to make sure that that doesn't happen. So you trust this lady? We trust that, yeah. Can I get a phone number so I can make. No, I really can't tell me who it is. That would defeat the whole... That's good. That's good. Oh, man.

And so how many people deliberate and sit around a round table? Well, so BAFTA is 6,500 members. Shees. So there's 6,500 people who have made a significant contribution to their area of filmmaking, one of whom is Noel Clark. Yes. Ah, yeah, he's on the scene.

So, you know, people who have made films won BAFTA's in the past. Yes. And obviously, going back years in the year. is so six and a half thousand people who really know what they're talking about in terms of you know great editors great directors definitely so a range of different people yeah that's good so it's not bad that six and a half thousand includes people making working on every type of film from locations to production design to props to absolutely everything you can think of yeah an eclectic bunch yeah and so they vote in the first round so there's

getting to the nominations, they all vote, so they all watch the films. They watch as many films as they can, vote for the ones that they really loved. They all vote for best film. They all vote for the performers. And then in the other category is the editors will vote for the editors,

the directors will vote for the directors, so they're getting that really specialist knowledge. Oh, okay, yeah. That seems fair, so directors are voting for other directors. And then once they've done that, in the second round, when we get at this point when we've got our five films in each category, then everybody votes for their winner.

so everybody gets to have their say on what they think the best visual effects or the best editing or whatever is because obviously they're in real world they're all working together to make films so they've all got their own opinions on it so wow that sounds amazing so it's a lot of people

that's what's important about it because it's not 12 people sitting in a room that's what I thought I pushed like nights and a round table no yeah I thought it was like a supper kind of thing and everyone just decides yeah like a jury that would be so easy

if it's 12 people in a room that's so easy for like somebody to sway it or you've got to make sure that those 12 people are biased and representative and it's impossible. Yeah, we get a bit of Vladimir Putin, wouldn't it? Yeah, exactly. That's another part of my job.

Making sure none of that sort of stuff goes on. Digital security is my biggest headache at the moment. I'm making sure everything's unhackable and, you know. Okay. I don't know. I shouldn't talk about that too much on it. No, no, no, that's good.

No, that's good. So we know it's secure. Yeah. It's proper folk knocks. It's not. Hopefully. You can't break into it. Hopefully.

No one listening should take that as a challenge. Okay, cool, good, but that's good. And I love that there's so many people

that's put my mind at ease because I'm like, no, what if like, you know six and 12 people then obviously you're going to get nominated. So actually I was thinking

I've only got a chat to make 12 friends, but now I know I've got to make 6,000 friends. Six and a half thousand friends. Yeah, it's not going to, it's not going to happen now. Yeah, it's hard to,

it's hard to bribe six and a half thousand people. You've got a lot of, a love Rolexes to give away. And is it my understanding that the board of people who are on BAFTA you get to come together like a committee and

think up sort of new new guidelines and rules and things? That's another big part of my job. So when people say what do you do the rest of the year, so that's what I you know, as soon as the ceremony is finished we're looking at this film and the process of making film is always changing especially with technology.

Yeah. You know, so every year things will come up and we're looking at, you know, what went well the year before, where we need to make tweak categories, where we may need to be looking at. Yeah. You know, are there new things happening? Yeah. Yeah. You know, over the last few years, we really changed the move from special effects, which is like explosions and things happening in real life to visual effects. Visual effects.

Visual effects. And, you know, obviously that's happened over the last sort of 15 years. But, you know, there's always things changing like that. but also the process in the voting and kind of, you know, tweaking, are we doing things in the best way to get to the best results? And so that process happens immediately. So the day after the film awards, we go straight into that. And there's a committee of people, which again, one of whom is Noel Clark,

who do that process. So that's a committee of people from the membership. And again, it's directors, editors, writers. So that's a representative group as well. And they kind of make the decisions on what they're, those rule changes should be. And that's the bit I enjoy most about the job. So when we get to the point where you have to apply the rules,

and we have to have discussions about, you know, what's a documentary? Yes. What's a British film? And kind of work out these definitions that are right and they're always changing. I've got a strong opinion on which should be the best documentary of the year. Okay, I want to hear that. A very strong opinion. Is it one of the ones that's nominated?

Let me see. If I say anything. What is the documentary like? Um, maybe I shouldn't see. Well, you can tell me what your favorite documentary of the year was. I ain't on the judging panel, so I ain't got already... What would you have voted for? I would have voted for the David, that and everything that just happened.

Ah, okay, so that's... So, Bafter does Bafth film and TV. Oh. So I work on the film awards. Yeah. So this is documentaries that's been in cinemas. That's all right. So, yeah, I mean, you're right.

If that doesn't get nominated the TV awards in the spring, then, you know. I'm going to come. through like Kanye West and shut down the whole shot. I swear down. That was amazing. The planet Earth. I think you could probably put a bet on that and it would be pretty same. One really exciting thing that Noel actually, he told me last week, was that about the change of a rule to make diversity.

One of the key things. I love that you've got a good ethic and drive towards that. Yeah, it's something we've been trying to do for a long time. So we do a lot of stuff alongside the awards. All of our awards have special. categories that offer new talent. Yes. And that's something that we've always done. And then we have a lot of work the rest of the year that goes on that people don't get to see where we work with having talent to give them opportunities to match them with members and like mentoring schemes and

learning schemes and all that kind of stuff. So that's something that's very much at the heart of what Bafter does. Okay. And yeah, and one of the things that we've done this year, which will come into effect for the next couple of years is where the BFI have diversity standards, which is saying are the crew of this film diverse does it talk about underrepresented stories like what's happening on screen what's happening off screen

what education opportunities were available on this film and what we've done is we're going to say that from 2019 any film in our British categories will have to have met those standards they will either have to be telling a story from an underrepresented group on screen so on screen diversity is one part of it

or they're making making sure that their career is to feel as diverse as possible. Yeah, that's really good. And it's a really good system that the BFI were put together because it means that there are some types of films, some types of stories that you can't really... You can't put minorities in every... Because I was thinking that, I was like...

There might be a story about, I don't know, 18th century Sweden. Exactly. Which necessarily you couldn't really feel... Say you want to make a Jane Austen adaptation. You can't chew horn minorities into that because, you know, it's hard to do. It's doable. And that's fair enough. It's harder. It's less than...

have like all white people in Beast of No Nation because I couldn't see them playing the warlord but you know what I mean but then you have the opportunity to fill the crew and get through with the diverse crew because yeah like you said it's a film is not just people on the front of the screen a film is everybody behind it as well

and that's what I love about that because I you know I thought it would just like to be in front of the camera but then there's more people behind the camera than there are in front of a camera and in some ways actually what's interesting is diversifying what's in front of the camera camera is the easy bit. Easy.

Because actually it's really easy to give opportunities to other writers and other actors and get different stories told. Actually, that is the easy bit. If there's a will to do it, that's the easy bit. Actually getting people to the level where they can be heads of department off camera in terms of cinematographers and editors. And that's the bit that's hard. And that's the bit that the industry is kind of going,

that's what really needs to change because that's what's really going to affect meaningful diversity. Say if you are like a DOP or whatever and you want to, be in contact with this initiative. Like, is there a way they can make themselves heard or do BAFTA seek out these people? It's a bit of both. It's a bit of both. So if you're already working in the industry

and you're a DAP or trying to be a DAP, we have something called BAFTA crew, which is for people working in those what we blow the line things are the ones that, you know. And that's a sort of structured program that anybody can apply to be on. Is it? You have to have one, I think it's one or two credits on something,

and it doesn't have to be a film. It can be like a music video. or a documentary or whatever. You're like, oh, really? No, no, it's because my mate, I have, like, a few friends who do film and stuff like that. And one of my mates, he's, like, struck, he's an amazing editor. And he's, like, filmed for, like, Dolce and Gabana. He's been away and done, like, shooting for National Geographic.

He's done all these things, like, but he just finds it hard to get out there. And the kid is, the guy's so talented. Yeah, yeah. And that's what Chris all about, is to find people that have got that talent. I'm going to put him in touch with you. And they can then get this structured program that will help them get to the next point to meet the right people and do master classes

and all that sort of thing. That's beautiful. Oh man, that's good. And I guess it's good that it also allows people to see that not everyone has to be in front of the camera. There's so much that that happens behind it. And it's good that it's showing that and something like that.

And this program will teach that and show that. There are other ways to get into film without having to be the next term. I was reading some other day that was saying like, no matter what you want to do no matter what your skills are what your talents are you can do it in film

you can yeah you know props costumes lighting music you know any and all sorts of things pushing button catering me catering is important thing yeah trust me unit nurses like everything that exists

exists on a film set because you know their whole little world yeah I have I have two family members who own catering companies that do music festivals and stuff like that I'm telling them to get into film. They need to get into film. Yes.

And it makes a difference. I've been on film sets where if the food is amazing, then everybody else is happy. Everyone gets into their job. Everyone goes for it. If the food's bad, everybody is focusing on the food rather than on the job and everything.

So something like that is just sorrow important. I've got a friend who's a producer and she says that's the first thing she sorts out is the food because everything. If people don't get food, it rolls down. It's going to work. Trust me and you go on to Anne because me,

yeah, like me without food is not a happy day for nobody. It's not happy. Me too. I'm sure the earth will stop spinning, the hearts will stop beating if I'm hungry and on set. Do you get hungry? Hungry!

Hungry! With a capital H! Yeah? And the things I remember going on the set, I'm going to say what it was. There was a comedy that I was doing, and I went on, and I asked for a, I asked for a bacon sandwich.

And I was eating meat at the time. And because I wasn't the star on the show at the time, I think they forgot my order. And then she brought me a blueberry muffin. That's not the same. The runner put me. I'm saying, even, like, do you know what?

I want to let it slide if she put me a sausage. Not even if she bought me a chocolate chip muffin, but blueberry muffin. Do you know what I mean? I'm like, she's trying to make me. Teacher, I didn't know you were a diva. Shut up, mate. I was about to get Jackie Chan.

Yeah, roll over Moray and Kerry. And you also have, I really like. I always look out for the rising star. And like the yuck, because it's interesting to see who's coming up. Yes, who's. Yeah. And I think this is a great list this year. Let's see.

So obviously Noel announced these for his last Thursday, which seems like such a long time ago. It's been such a long week with these nominations. But yeah, so he announced those for us last Thursday. So it's the E.E. Reising Star. And this is the one that's voted for by the public. So this is where the public do get to have their say on an award. And the five people this year are people.

It's interesting because sometimes you get people that are at different stages in their careers. Whereas this year, I think all five are people that have really landed this year, certainly in terms of their film careers. Well, it's the young guy who is going to be the next Spider-Man. I was so excited that they cast a Spider-Man who was an actual teenager, rather than a 25-year-old playing 19. They cast a teenager and he looks at.

What they did in Captain America after sort of introducing him as a cameo in Captain America so that everyone's ready and excited for him for Spider-Man next year. It works. I can't wait. There's so many films coming out next year from Marvel, which we're going to talk about a bit later as well. But that, I think he's British as well, isn't it?

Yeah, the kid. And then, so, yeah, so Tom Holland, he's British. And then the range of people there say, there's a, I don't know if you guys saw a film called Victoria, which came out in the summer. So it's this German film that was done in one single take. Single take, all the whole film. So it's about this girl going on a night out,

and she gets involved with these, so she's a Spanish girl living in Berlin, and she gets involved with these guys. She's just, you know, she's just going home from work. She gets involved with these drunk guys, and the night goes on a very... Bad turn, yeah. Yeah, it takes a bad turn.

And it's just all taking them. all taken to the camera is just following them around Berlin, takes in one take. And the girl, Laia Costa, who plays Victoria, is this incredible performance and would be an incredible performance in a normal film, let alone that she is doing it. In one take.

That's like a one-woman monologue on film. Yeah, well, they sort of improvised it, apparently. So they did it, obviously, they had to do it over a number of nights. So they just ran the thing six or seven times, I think. That is, man. And then the one that he is on the film is, I think, the sixth night they did it. Wow.

And you watch it on two levels because you're watching it. It's a good film. It's a really exciting film. It's a sort of thriller. So you're really excited about it. But then on the other hand of it, as someone who loves film,

you're watching it going, how the hell did they do that? How the hell did they get the camera into the car without cars? Oh, snap. There's people that are getting in and out of cars. And obviously it ends up out of it. I won't give too much way, but there's chases.

Chases and it's all seamless. The cinematographer did a ridiculous job. Is it done on one, so one camera or two cameras? Literally one camera, one take. It's one take, no take. And it's not like Birdman or some of those things where it seems to be one take and it's fake. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, you know, that's not an exclusive.

No, no, no. But this is genuinely one take all the way through, which is just incredible. Because I'm thinking, okay, if they run some super track and they've got like a super dolly and a super track like going through, like they're running through a car. But then you can't run that much track, then they must be like a steady cam. And then which one do you pick? Yeah, exactly. So you watch it on these two levels because you're watching it going,

I'm so into this story, so into these characters, but then go, how did they do that? Yeah, is it on a drone? Someone I was talking to it about, just thinking about all the, like, people that must have been running around, like stopping traffic and stopping people coming into. Oh my gosh.

Can you imagine the logistics of it must have just been ridiculous. I think they did it at like 3 o'clock in the morning. And imagine, imagine trying to bash the wires for that. Totally. Or even if they did it with like a battery thing, how you're going to change, where he's still going? I don't know.

I would have to love to see that. They have to do it behind the scenes. Please, please let them do. Yeah, exactly. I wanted there to be a documentary that shows the other side of it. This could be like a new, I could see this being a new genre. One take.

Best One Take film. Well, that's what I'm sort of starting to do with Facebook Live. Because Facebook, it's like a different medium of entertainment. So entertaining people on a live. And I'm thinking, well, I do sketches, but what if I do a live sketch? And I have a seven-minute sketch, one take. It's alive. So I'm kind of exploring that myself.

And apparently, on the hairspray live thing that they did recently, they put the hairspray live out on TV, and Facebook Live did the behind the scenes. So you could watch how they were doing it. And I was like, well, to me, that's more interesting. Yeah. Seeing all these people running around and they're kind of just making it. Yeah, but that's where you never get to see.

And you can't pay to see someone in a changing room or seeing someone like how they focused or warming up the voice. because it's weird seeing what actors do in the theatre and the voice exercise, if you got to see it, not knowing that world, you think, what? Yeah, that's really interesting. I love the direction that things are going in.

And it's so good to hear that it's forever changing, like having the things that short animation. I guess that wasn't always there. I think, oh, is it always on? It's been there for a while, but again, that's where people who make short animations aren't always new talent, but they often are. And certainly these guys, I think,

cool are. She's nominated for this short film, Tough. She's just straight out of, she's just graduated, and she's just made this film totally on her own, and she's got a BAFTA nomination for it. Shut! The Fonda.

Who's that? Jennifer Zhang, who's nominated for this film called Tough, which is all about her relationship with her grandma, so she's sort of, her grandma's from China. Yes. And it's about being British, Chinese, and, you know, where do you fit in?

Do you, you know... Wow. And it's just this beautiful little animation, and it's... Oh, man. And she's got a BAFTA nomination. and she's going to be there with Ryan Gosling and Natalie Paulman and who are God, who else. I believe the BAFTA is in good hand in your hands, Jim.

I'm filled with confidence now. And just on a personal level as well, just wanted to ask what your favourite performances and movies, just not as someone from BAFTA, but just as in yourself. What have you really enjoyed and liked for our audiences to maybe go and see? I mean, a really nice position this year of genuinely liking all of the films that Nominated, certainly in best films. Some years you're kind of a bit like, some of these aren't so great, but I see why they're nominated, but I don't like them.

Whereas this year I really love them all. I'm not supposed to pick one, but if I had to, I would pick Moonlight. Yeah, okay. Which isn't out yet, so it's going to be out around the time of the ceremony, so mid-February. And it's just a really great film about sort of coming-of-age thing. Again, what we were talking about before, about diversity, a kind of story that hasn't really been told. Okay. You can't say what it's about.

Well, it's about this guy who's growing up, it's hard to know how to tell you without giving stuff away because it's one of those films where stuff gets gradually revealed as it goes on. But it's about this kid growing up in the poor area of Florida, I think. A lot of, I've seen, you know, gets into kind of gangs and drugs and stuff. Is it? Which sort of feels like it might be a film you might have seen before, but trust me, there's more to it.

It's not called Paid In Four, is it? Because that's come out already, for that. No, I'm realizing as I'm saying it, that sounds like loads of other films. but this is different. Can I get your opinion on this year, right? I'm advocating for this to happen, yeah? Okay, because you know, they're remaking a lot of films at the moment, all right?

Yeah. I think it's time that they make Demolition Man, okay? Remake Demolition Man. And who do you want to see in that? That's what I'm saying? Who would you cast as Wesley Snacks and as, what's his name? Yeah, Stern. Who would you?

Oh, man. I'll put you on the spot there, I'm sorry. Who are you? I can see you Noel going at it in this film. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I can't, don't make me choose who's going to be here. I know. I mean, me as Wesley Snatch, you know. I thought you'd probably want to be honest with this month.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. No, but, yeah, no, I think maybe Tom Hardy or someone younger. Yeah, Tom Hardy or maybe go different routes of like Ryan Gosling or something. Chris Pine, maybe. Ryan Gosling, too pretty. There's no one that can replace Sly, really. Sly is sly. It's true. It's true. Well, I'm going to have a think about it, and we're going to make this happen this year.

Okay. We shall make it, all right? I look forward to getting nominated next. year. There you go. That's our film nominated. Plus, we've got Inside Man, so it's going to happen. And if we can't do it, Putin will. Exactly. Well, thank you so much, Jim. We're sorry. I'm sorry. But thank

so much for your time. And people who want to watch the BFTAs, it's going to be on the 12th of February? 12th of February. Yeah, and it will be on BBC, as usual, and loads of stuff on social media. And do vote in the E.E. Rising Star Award. Yes, please. We've only mentioned two of them, but have a look on the website, see the other three, and choose. When do they have to vote by?

I think it's the Friday before. It'll be the 10th. Amazing. Okay, so get your vote in. It's open now, get on the EE website and have a look at the nominations. Oh, definitely. Jim Freshall, everybody,

you are absolutely amazing. It's been great to meet you. We'll be watching. Unless we can squeeze a ticket. Talk to me afterwards. Talk to me afterwards. Yeah. All right, thank you so much, Jim.

We're going to pop to a song now. I'm going to go for a bit of Wilson Pickett. Let's go like old school. What film is that from? You told me they had to be from a film, so I've been racking my brains all weekend. Is this going to be the bridesmaid to Wilson Picket? No.

No. Yeah, you're sweating now. No, this is from The Bronx Tale. Okay, all right. We'll show on Netflix over the weekend. Oh, I'll let you off, I'll let you off. All right, amazing, so here it is. 99 and a half word of due.

All right. Hello. Hello, back in the studio. Hi. Yes. Okay, welcome to Background Chill. Guys, we've got our second guest. Got James Hyland and Michael Sean in the studio.

You were from the Brother Wolf Theatre Company. Yeah, that's right. Is that correct? Nice to be here. by the way. Thank you. Friday. We like to kick off Friday and get all theatrical. Why not

indeed? I like it. I like I'll do a bit of theatre myself actually. You have? Yeah, he's just come back off tour from the theatre. I was doing Peter and the Starcatcher. I played at a national theatre a couple times. Oh yeah? Play Romeo and Romeo Juliet twice at the national.

All right. I actually work there at the moment. Do you? Yeah, not just at the bar. Not in the actual theatre. What show? Was it? No, no. Just work around there?

Just, you know, in the bar at the bottom. Yeah, it's alright. It's a vibe there, isn't it? Yeah, it's always meeting some. Do you ever go to the one upstairs? The green room? The blue room or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's where you've got to be at. So, tell us and all not all the listeners about what the Brother Wolf Theatre Company is. What do you do and what you do in the moment? Well, we opened, I should say, started about 19908, and what we do is all sorts, really. It is mainly theatre. It's actually Brother War,

just that, you know, it's just called Brotherle. And we do do other things as well, like a little bit of TV. We did a TV pilot. We do original plays. And this, what we're talking about today is an original play. It's a World War II drama. Okay. And it's

called a lesson from Auschwitz. It was produced in 2015 in commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day. Because it was the, yeah. You know, the actual 7th. It was, yeah. It was the 70th

anniversary at the time. And it will be the anniversary again on the 27th and we're performing just the day before on the 26th, you know, New Wimbledon Studio. But that's just one of many that we do. How many people are in this play? How many cast?

Michael and I just touched two. Yeah, it's a two-handed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, and how long is it a run in time? Well, 60 minutes without an interval, so it's just 60? Yeah, 60. Without an interval? Yeah, yeah. No breaks, no mistakes. It's a thing. With TV you can make a mistake

and you film little bits by bits but you've got to just It's like spitting like an hour long song It's like sing for a hour You just got to keep going and going and going It's good It is very much like that Like doing an hour long song

You know But we're feeding off of each other You have your ways But what that allows Because there's no interval It also makes it quite immersive Wouldn't you say Yeah completely

It's like going into It sounds really strange But it's like going into a little dream you're kind of at the end you're like that and you grow up and it's like yeah just do an hour of that yeah I do find that at the theatre though when you have a really intense play it's all right of musicals and stuff because you kind of want to have a we and whatever but like when you're in a play and then you kind of get pulled out of it to go get some popcorn or whatever and it is hard to then get back it's like right where were we oh yeah

that really emotional thing we were trying to talk about um I've seen the only um world war play that I've seen is of Journey's End which obviously super powerful have you ever seen it's about all the the the guy boys in the trenches. Yeah. And that, like, is really enjoyable and then hits, like, real punches you at the end. So it's really, really powerful, powerful play. Well, this is slightly unusual.

It's slightly unusual for a drama that's about the Holocaust. Yeah. Insofar as it is told predominantly from the Germans' point of view, from the Nazis' point of view. Oh, really? So do you used to play to... Well, no, Michael. Michael plays a prisoner, a German-Jewish prisoner. and I play Rudolph Hirscher, who is the actual commandant of Auschwitz.

He runs the whole place. Historically, that was the guy. Historically, absolutely. And they interacted? They do interact, but the thing is, Michael doesn't have, his character doesn't have a lot of words. But what happens, if you come and see it, what happens is through the process of Hearst instructing his troops

on what to do and what's to come, aka, you know, basically the final solution he's implementing that by use of Zyclon B, which is like a poison gas. Michael's character is responding to that but in a very stationary, small, minimalist sense. So it's very, very kind of almost very, very delicate, isn't it? Yeah, it's a weird one because you've got to take into mind

what these kind of people were put through in terms of control and rules and the fact that they could be killed for looking at people. So you've got to kind of put yourself within those confines as well and then try to act through that as well. That's amazing. It's it quite hard. Obviously, it's a very dark subject matter. How do you then go to the pub after?

How do you shake it off? How do you get out of it? It's really weird. When we've done it in the past, we've both come out and felt it's like a massive rush of adrenaline. you're like you're kind of we do want to harrogate and we're both shaking for about like 30 minutes afterwards

because it is quite it's very intense you kind of you've kind of just got to get it out your body if that makes sense like it do you feel like you're on a Debbie Dan or like when you come out you know oh flow you're not not really

he's not on an up yeah but it's not it's not it's not an up like this is what I've done it's more like a yeah intense like yeah it's a strange thing it's a strange thing actually because you would feel

you would suspect that we'd be very down but what it is we're not pleased but we're content that we've achieved this sounds a bit odd our objectives as the characters so if we give everything we can

to fulfill those objectives we come off depleted kind of shaking because it's very very emotional the piece but also at the same time pleased that we've reached those objectives because without reaching them we can't really take the audience to the place they need to go exactly

they need to go I can I can imagine like especially for yourself like you have to be acting with your body and look you haven't got the words and stuff like that and what's it with the what's the DiCaprio film where he was with the bear and stuff like that oh the revenant absolutely yeah like that way but it's hard if you because he has the camera they camera can pick out his body can pick out his movement with you you've got to share this whole kind of movement with a audience and they you can't focus their eyes and they're gonna see everything

So that's all sorry, so that's very interesting. So it sounds amazing. Yeah, it's weird to say that. Because it's quite, we were saying that, it's quite filmic in that sense. Because like, you, you, you're, as the character, you're trying to do as little as possible. But, you know, he's not in a good way.

He's had broken bones. He's been, you know, he's been through the camps, essentially, and escaped and then been caught. Like, he's like, he's not, when we find them, he's not in a great place, as you would expect. but he's also trying to hide all this to survive. Is it based on true accounts or is it more of a fiction, but obviously based on a very true place?

Well, it's interesting actually because there was a hoard of Nazi testimony and the individual that I'm playing, Rudolf Hearst, was caught and asked, forced to give his testimony in great detail and he actually gave it in a kind of a diary form. And it's extensive. and there are other Nazis that were caught that gave this extensive their extensive testimony

so there is a hell of a lot to pick from so what you'll see and what you're here from me as Hearst is Hearst's actual words you know everything that happens is based on fact in 1941 Hearst arrived from visiting Himmler

whose second in command only to Hitler in Berlin he arrived back at Auschwitz with the orders, his new orders, to share with the troops, which were to implement the final solution, which they called to the Jewish question, the final solution to the Jewish question. Which was basically they had tried all sorts of methods

to move the Jewish population, not only outside of Germany, but outside of Europe. Because Hitler and all his cronies, as you know, they wanted to eradicate Jewish people. But it started off from a point, of you of let's just make it really unpleasant for them so that they go away. Didn't work so then they tried something else. That didn't work to their standards so then they tried something else.

Until they came to a position when they thought, well, the only thing we can do is exterminate him. And then they said, hold on, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, exterminate him. That means killing the women and the children as well. And they said, yes, everyone. Everyone. And so that's where the play begins. Hurst arrives having had his meeting with Himmler

and he says to his troops this is what we're going to do and in order to do that he's going to use a demonstration tour and unfortunately the demonstration tool he uses is Abraham Kernisberg played by Michael Wow I mean I'm yeah I'm very So to explain what he's going to do and see Exactly and he's basically testing them

It's a test he's saying to them You know you must be harsh Because that was the most important trait of any SS man is to be harsh. And if you're not harsh, you won't be able to kill little kids, women. The thing is, is that they were, this is what the psychology around what happened, and it freaks me out how close to home, it's only within this lifetime nearly. There are people alive today who are affected, like directly affected.

And it kind of baffles you. I saw this TV show or something a while ago, and it was all about the psychology of sort of what happened in those, They weren't saying that the Nazi They weren't excusing anything But they were saying as a human If you're put under a certain Constraints, would you make a similar decision?

And they did this test It was about being responsible For another room of someone's pain Someone was hooked up to a sort of an electricity machine So the more that you press the button The more pain you would give the other person And they were testing it on all these levels And saying what would a human

Do you get pain yourself? No, no, you're giving someone else pain And people actually pressed the button? But what was crazy, normal people, what we would consider normal everyday people today, when they were put under certain pressures, decided to press the button as far as they could to give somebody else pain.

And it was just... Just as fancied to see if it'd be funny to see what happened. No, no, I can't quite remember the... Well, you could see the other room, you don't show. No, you don't see it. That's a bit of same. If you can't directly see the responsibility of what you do... You're no longer accountable.

Yeah, exactly. If you're not accountable, it's all like... They've done it as well with, you know, everyone asks the question, could you press the button that sets off the nuclear bombs? If you, you know, all the pressures of the guy who has to actually do that. Oh my gosh, psychology. Well, at the end of the day, the Nazis were saying, well, yes, we are accountable, but what is it for?

It is for our country. It is for our people. One people, one country, one fury, a, which is Adolf Hitler. And that is the reason that spurred the morn. From a strangely very human sort of impulse, which was sort of wanting to, how they termed it, was protect themselves

from the influx of the Jewish, as they called it, infestation, which we all know is absolutely preposterous. But that's what spurred them on. That's what spurred the mom. Give us me the he be-a-jee. Right. He said, oh, this is blowing my mind. Well, we're going to pop to a song.

And then, because we've got Fespians in the house. And me and you are, we're actors as well. We thought we'd play a little game. We are lesbians. Yeah. So are we. We thought we're brilliant. Right.

Lesbians in the house. So we're going to pop to some music and then we're going to come back in, and let's play some games. Because we're all about, it's getting very heavy in the studio right now. So we're going to get a bit more light-hearted on the flip side. But what are we going to play for them now, Johan? I'm going to play Gangsters Paradise, by Culeo. Oh snap. That's from... What movie's that from me?

I'm going to put you on the spot. Dangerous minds? Yes! Yeah, Michelle Pfefer, right? Dig, dig, that's what I'm saying. Ten points to Michael. All right, brilliant. So, we will be back after the quick break to play some games. With Brother Wolf.

Right now. Food Bar Radio presents. Harriet Rose. I'm joining me in the studio right now. Is cakes to kill it? Someone started clipping their nails on the tube today. Excuse me? Like, this is it.

Is it right? But also I was like maybe it's just a custom out here. I'm not used to. I mean, for fuck's sake, if that was a custom here, I would leave immediately. And I was just like, yo, you are out here. Did he have a lot? Do you have really long nails? They weren't like long, like gross.

Like, actually, like, you need to click them now. It was just like, you could wait until you get hot. It was like, it was a manageable nail. Every Thursday. Carriot Rose. From 4pm on Feevar Radio. Right, you're back on back row and chill. Yes, we're with Johanna, James and myself, TJ.

I like that. She's Doig Thorne? Yeah. She's Doig Thorne as well. We've been having, I've been having a conversation I'm confused. Would you ever change your? your name, T.J. Because I had this conversation with my boyfriend

last night. To talk about names. If I got married to the girl's name. What a popular thing in this feminist age is, instead of the woman taking the man's, you might smush together your names and create a new name. So I had... No, no, no, no, no. Some answers are doing it. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you see, the thing is yeah, me, I'm hanging up my gloves, my boots, yeah. The least you can do is take the name, okay? But what if you've got a name that is like... Yeah, it's really cool. I would. I would. Say like she's got a business or whatever, yeah, right? Or she's got whatever, and that's her name. She can keep it on that or, you know, just be Cheryl. You don't need to do cold tweedy. Every time we get married, change your name, yeah? Don't change it. Keep yourself of Cheryl, Cheryl, be Cheryl. But at home, at the doctors, the GPs, yeah. My name best be on that down. She's, right? All that, all the stuff that matters, the passport and all that, it matters, yeah. All right, Mrs. C. J.B. Ward, you got to take his next. What is your second name?

Jean-Barre. Gendarie? Actually, you know what I'm saying? Go ahead! Hit me up on Facebook. Teach you all to get married, didn't it? Because next year is my year. I'm looking to get married. Calling all potential Mrs. Jamboree.

Well, I don't know. I was talking about my boyfriend. Would you be upset? Would you want me to take your name? Or, like, you know, what are we going to do? And he was like, I don't know my name. Let's make a new name. And I was like, oh, okay.

I like. I like, I like, I'm making a new name. Yeah. So then we thought, like, well, what was what's the name? And then it's just... But you're going to get rid of your name? Well, I'd like to... Make a name together.

I like the idea to make a name together. That's really nice. That's really nice. Let's... We've already do. We're already Jubana. That could be your surname. Gibana.

Johanna, Jabana. That's good. I know, no, but seriously, I have a friend and he doesn't like... He's like family, whatever, whatever. So, he decided to take his wife's name. So I can understand if you're doing it for that reason. But if your wife is, like, gripsing you up and saying,

look you best take my name yeah I'm like bro grow a pair okay let's be let's be diverse okay well we've actually divered we've gone down a little lane let's go back so Amber you're in the studio and Amber you are on oh I just whacked the microphone there terribly sorry I'm so excited that you're in the studio I'm so I'm so excited because you are one of them there's not many female comedy content makers on the internet so you do YouTube Facebook the gram yeah all of the gram all of them And you make, well, me, you can introduce yourself.

What do you do online? Yeah, so I started by doing pranks on Facebook. And then I go into comedy sketches, public interviews, like social experiments. I do a bit on YouTube, but it's mainly Facebook that I'm focusing on right now. Okay. I think a lot of people are kind of going this way and stuff with the Facebook, like, instead of doing the sketches on the YouTube. Well, there's a big YouTube Facebook kind of, it's like one of the other. It's kind of a bit there's a divorce.

There is. And it's like mommy and daddy. Exactly. Which third are you going to go on? I think myself, I want. I watch music stuff and, you know, is a YouTube. And I think when it comes to acting stuff, I usually go Facebook. I 100%.

I would never go to YouTube for a comedy sketch because on YouTube the videos are so much longer. Like, who wants to watch a seven-minute comedy sketch? Facebook's like one to two minutes and that's perfect. You reckon? Yeah, most people can't watch more than two minutes. Serious? Yeah, but what about like, don't be a menace or drinking juices stuff? That old comedy film, that's like a film.

So you couldn't watch a comedy film? Well, there's a weird thing. They're talking about the... millennials, all of our age people, is that your attention spans have shrunk dramatically. So when you're doing something to grab something, the internet is this huge, big

space of floating information and floating, and everyone's just trying to grab for attention. So they haven't got the patience to sit down. So if you're going to go and sit down in the cinema and watch a film, you have a different attention span to when you're on your phone. Yeah, it's true. So it's a different medium.

So I really applaud people who are, well, I applaud anyone who's getting out there and trying to do it because essentially you're making content, for the passion for the love of it. And it's hard. You're putting yourself out there to be judged. Do you get trolled? Oh, 100%. Yeah?

But girls or guys? Or is it both? It's mainly girls. I mean, my audience is predominantly guys. Oh, is it? Yeah. Well, you are both quite pretty ladies. I must admit I can understand that. Oh, thank you. So the girls I do tend to have, it kind of fluctuates. They go like really, really obsessive fan-gob in such a lovely way.

Just being like super supportive, which is like the nicest thing. Or they go a bit crazy and they're just like, you're a whore. And I'm like, okay, that's a bit harsh, but okay. I think it's because their boyfriends are watching you. You know, that's what my mum says sometimes. It would make sense, but I can't comment that back. Could you imagine? Don't engage. Don't engage.

I just leave it. I'm like, you don't talk to the trolls. Do you know what I say? Platform, what's it? No, haters only give you a platform to stand on. And they make that platform a little bit higher each time they keep hating. So rise above it, okay? Yeah, okay.

Look at that. So me's dropping some knowledge right now. Come on, rate that. I felt like you should be like a therapist for social media people. That's what I'm saying. So, so, girls, what is the perfect span for a comedy video you are saying? Because we were just talking about the time.

You'd say it's about one minute, two minute. I think you probably think the same with obviously the sketches. Like, we've done some sketches together. I reckon like a minute to a minute and a half. A minute to a minute and a half, yeah? It's a perfect thing. And then, like, doing the pranks. Like, do you not ever get scared?

because I've seen some prank people that go too far and stuff like that year or if you're doing like a social experiment, do you have a limit or do you not do you, are you fear for your life or anything like that? Because I've seen some people who take it too far. Have you ever had anything like that? Yeah, I mean, my mum's a magistrate. So I always check out like the legal side before Hans Wachron,

I'm not breaking the law. Good, good. The last prank that I did was, it was a wireless upgrade prank on people's headphones. So I was in public cutting people's headphones. Oh! I bet you got some pissed off. people. Yeah, people weren't happy.

Are you mad? I think I saw that. Are you mad? What if they've got, Dre Beech? They can be up to 300 pounds. Okay, okay, okay, so what I did is I went up to people beforehand, found like the cheaper looking headphones said, you know, are your headphones sentimental? Some people were like, yeah, my grandma gave them to me. I'm like, first of all, cool grandma, a bit of a weird gift, but fine. But obviously, if it's a sentimental gift, I'm not going to cut them. If they're like, no, I got them for free, I'm like, well, I'm going to prank you. Don't say it, but I'm like, interesting.

Bring over the camera crew and then start going. Okay, so you sort of semi, semi, just check that you're not being a test. Yeah, because say you cut someone's headphones and it's like a family heirloom, like, you're screwed. No, but still, like... It's a risky business. It's a risky business. And I mean, is that like vandalising, is that like, like, like, like, property and, you know, what's the final line between... I mean, our thing is...

Sorry, I filmed that one with my friend. We're going to be doing some more pranks, but for that one, we did put it on the video and we said we paid every single person back plus some extra. Okay. So, like, if they said, I would say they could have lied, it could have been a two-pound pair. Yeah. If they said 20,

we'd be like, fine, here's 20. Because, like, for the sake of a good video, like, that's not really, that's not too bad. Okay, I'll love you often. Then people were happier because they were like, oh, sick, we're going to be in a viral video. Like, it got like over a million views on my channel alone.

Okay. And then they basically get an upgrade on their headphones. It's like, when... Oh, damn. Everyone loves to be... There's, um, you get the two ways with the puppies. That's right. I feel better now.

There's like a nice twist on that, okay. Okay. You break my shit, I'm a break you. I mean, I was looking at your headphones being like, do you want to, why it's so great a speed? Come try me, because these are J-Bs. He's just that I robbed off the B in it. You drew on a B with a Sharpie.

You're from East, I know. Exactly. Go on. No, I was just saying like when you're working with or doing anything in the public, I, public reacts like one of two ways. They either totally are on board and want to get in. They want to get in the video and they're really up for it. Or you get people who are so unup for it.

Oh my God, yeah. And they, you know, they don't want to be filmed and they try and say it's illegal. And actually, it is not illegal to film people. It is illegal to post it without their consent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but it is not illegal to have a camera in a public place. Yeah, yeah, no, no, it's not.

Exactly. But it's illegal to post it and not blow. But you can blur the face. Yeah, I was going to say, you can, like, you can change their voice, you can blur their face. There are ways around it. Like, if people ask me not to you footage, I just won't. Because I can't really be bothered.

Yeah, you can't really be bothered with the past. But, but I've had people shout at me saying, that it's illegal to film them and I'm like, actually, Melod's not, but then they don't really react well to that either. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Right, so one of the things you do do is you do lots of, you go to a lot, we cross each other all the time on premieres and bits of bobs, which is really fun.

What kind of premiere did? What's the most recent premiere that you went to? So I went to the Live By Night premiere on Tuesday, which is Ben Affleck's new gangster film. Oh, no, I see. I've seen a bit. It wasn't too short what to expo, but it was amazing. Yeah, I really liked it.

Yeah, we'd definitely go and watch it again. Did you see Ben Affleck? Yeah, he was on the red film. cup it was like Siena Miller. Does he look nice? He's so sexy. Is it? Yeah, this is like the second premiere I've been to when he's. I mean, every time I just kind of stop and like drool a bit. I'm like, Ben, marry me. Would you still marry

the chubby Ben Affleck? He's not chubby anymore, though. He's not. Yeah, I know, but when he does, because he fluctuates, you know, are you still going to love him with all his crumbs? I would love Ben Affleck. Would you rub his belly? Would you grease his back? Yeah, who wouldn't? It's Ben Affleck. Good. I'm partial to a bit, chub. Yeah, hey, Chubb, love him.

Hey, I'm partial. I'm partial. I'm partial. to anything I can get where. Hashtag Desperate. And so I went to see the most recent thing I saw. Well, I just went to a screening today, but it wasn't a premiere, but I saw the Triple X movie. Yeah. Which I think you've seen as well.

It's the third. I thought it was the second film. It was the third. No, it's the third. Oh, my God. What did you think of the new Vin Diesel movie? So I really like to like any action films with him in, I think, are amazing.

Like, the character, Xander Cage, is just insane. It's literally Vin, just amplified a little bit. like the cast was amazing Dupacur, Ruby, they had this amazing chemistry together, they're like the two lead females. I liked Ruby. Who doesn't like Ruby? Yeah, everyone loves Ruby Rose.

You're mean? I did like Ruby Rose. And I had like the huge privilege this week to go in and interview seven members of, well, it was eight members of the cast but then one of them had a diva fit and left. So I didn't know. What did you do to her?

I don't do anything. I won't because of you? It's probably some inappropriate questions. Come on, you can tell us. It was, no, no, I touched her restaurant. I just touched her. Is it? Just one or two?

It's just one or two. I was just one as far. I wasn't even there. I was just told that she'd left. That's all right then. I'm glad it weren't you, Johanna, because I like you. But I did get to interview a lot of people. Cool.

I interviewed Nina Dobrev from the vampire diaries. Okay. I don't know that program. I didn't realize she has such a huge, huge following. Yeah, but that vampire thing was all cool. But you know what? I think it's shifting to time travel. I just want to put that out there.

Okay, time travel's the new vampire. new vampire thing? No, I feel you. There's like loads of like TV shows at the moment. There's like passengers, that's sick. That's about time travel. What's it? Dirt Gently.

Yeah, that's not I mean there's so many. That one. And then what, that frequency as well. That's on Netflix as well. But there's a few. And A, A, O, A, A, A, A. B.A. Is that one about time time at all?

It's about. It's about flatlining. So it's about traveling outside of time. Oh, sick. And then you've got the timeless thing that's come out. There's a lot of, I'm telling you, the vampire, forget vampires. It's time travelling now.

Okay. Go on. Well, anyway, I've got to meet Nina Debride very briefly. Donnie, let's get to the nitty-gritty. The most important person that you met here, the only person that really mattered... Was Donnie Yen? Aside from Ruby Wax, Rose. And Nina.

Nina was awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all good. Donny Yen! All right. Well, I will be playing. I've got each of my interviews with all of the cards. But first I'm going to go for Nina because she was lovely. Great.

I'll keep listening each week until I hear Donnie Yen. And what was really funny was, was I went in there. and obviously they're all doled up for junkets. They've got so much makeup on and so much everything. It's like the world's media and presses upon them. Of course. And she was all lovely and then I sat down and I realized she was wearing these little plastic flip flops. When I interviewed her, she had the same.

Wait, which day did you interview her on? Was it Tuesday or Wednesday? Wednesday. I think I got her on Thursday. Yeah. Yeah, I got her yesterday. She was wearing flip flops and she was like, you can't get my feet in. And I was like, oh, that's so cute.

Yeah, I love that you're wearing flipflops. I was like, dude, you're very cut. I was like, why aren't you wearing slippers? I'd be there with, like, the biggest slippers in the world. Yeah, I'll be with the granny beige slippers. It's snowing out there, Nina, and you're wearing flip flops. But she was a cutie, so I'm going to play a little bit now

of my interview with Nina DeBrev from the Triple X movie. How did you get involved with Triple X? What was the story there? Well, I had to audition and fight for it. They didn't really see me as the techie, geeky girl. I think originally they wanted me to go in for Dipika's role. which I would have loved to play.

She's a great character, and I love kick-ass-kicking. Kicking butts. Kicking butts. That would be really fun at some point. But coming off the show and all the other things that I've been doing, I really wanted to try something different and challenge myself and be in the workforce. Now I'm not in high school or college on screen.

I'm finally... Finally grown up. I'm finally grown up. And so it was a well- Welcome challenge. I had a lot of fun playing this role. Because this role brings a lot of comedy to the film. It's like you're a good comedic relief. And it's, yeah, it's like a, it's a geeky girl. She's hot, but she's geeky, but she's funny. Is comedy something more, because it is a step to the side for you, this kind of thing.

Is comedy something more you want to go down? Definitely, yeah. I've done a few things as of late in that genre. And I'm, it might be my favorite. Yeah. So far. I mean, there's getting paid to go to work and laugh all day and try new things and be goofy. Like, I really couldn't believe that this was happening. The whole time I was just running around, falling over, geeking out on people and talking too much and being a klutz. So it was so fun. And behind the scenes, we can get a little bit of behind the scenes gossip.

Was there any sort of funny moments or did anything go wrong on set? Because I know stuff never goes to plan. No, I know Ruby got hurt. in like the easiest sequence. She did all these crazy stunts. And then during like the easiest one that she had to do where she just had to like run in a straight line, she ended up like falling and hurting herself.

Ironically. And I'm kind of like that too. Yeah, I did. At one point, I was, when we were shooting, I kind of fell off of a bike and ended up getting like a giant, giant bruise thing on my thigh. but it's an action movie.

If I hadn't gotten a battle wound. Instagram it. Yeah. I did, actually. I did. And were you, did you want any more? Because you got a little bit of action. But just a baby amount, like the smallest amount that you could possibly get.

I would love more. In fact, that wasn't even in the script. DJ and I, the director, came up with the idea to do this baby little sequence on the day. We just, like, filmed it. Oh, wow. Yeah, you should have had some. more. That was really funny. No, but it was just like a little intro, and hopefully if there's a sequel, maybe,

maybe we'll see what happens in the future. And just lastly, what is next for you, now that you've, born your horizons and you're now an adult. Yeah. My, um, this film comes out January 20th, so I'm excited for the world to finally see it. And then later this year, I have a movie called Flatliners. It's coming out. Oh, nice.

Yeah. Oh, I'm really into all about the moment. I've been watching the OA on Netflix. It's all about the OA. The OA. about near-death experiences. Oh, I've seen it. Really good series.

So I'm all like, I'm all into the... Oh, then you'll love our film. You'll love it. It's pretty cool. Okay, I'm going to go and Google that. Back row and chill with Johanna James on Fubar Radio. Cool. And that was Nina Debrev.

and things. What else have you been doing in that? Have you done any more acting? Yeah, so I've had a few featured roles in films this year. I did Name of the Game with Callum Best earlier on this year. Kind of more of a featured supporting artist in Double Date, which was another film and most recently fanged up, which is

Dapper Laf's, Dan O'Reilly's new film. Yeah, which was like a nice featured role, so... So what did you get to do? So I played someone's wife, So the whole day we were filming in a strip club, which was great. And basically there was just a bit of beef between, like, Dan hitting on me and my husband being like, mm-mm, that's not happening. They had like a little beef up.

Oh, my God. Terry Stone. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and he's, obviously, he's quite big, so he was like, huh. Man. And you're just there like, hey. So what, you worked at this strip club?

No. I mean, I was working there anyway. I just happened to be there on the day they were filming, so they thought they'd bring me on set. that was a joke I'm not my god your face does that tell me

no those days are behind me honestly he just heard strip club and he just went on oh I went out I just heard strip club I'm still stuck at strip club I don't know

what else you said but for anyone who doesn't know the info Dan O'Reilly who plays the character dapper laughs online he has made he wrote a movie with Nick Nevin who's quite regular on this show

and it's a comedy about setting a man's prison with vampires. Vampires that's called fanged up. Is it a bang? Oh, see. Get it? And Dan was really cool and he gave

loads and loads of roles to loads of people on social media. Giving all the social media comedians a chance to be in actual movie as well. Oh, that's dope. Well, tell your friends with Dapper, aren't you? Both of you, yeah. So remember what I told you, right? Time travel is the new vampire.

So his next movie you know what's got to be about, right? So, Dan, if you're listening. Yeah, so Fanged Up 2 needs to be like time travel. Time travel, one, isn't it? Okay, I'll let him know. I'll let him know. All right, well, thank you so much Amber for coming in. This has been super, super fun.

And you'd be great to get on the show because you see so many movies with all your premieres and events and stuff. Yeah, it's like one a week. I'm a movie geek as well, so all of them. Oh, man, you've got a love a good feel, man. I'm a massive movie geek as well. That's good, that's good. So out of five, what would you say for Triple X?

I give a solid four and a half. Four and a half. Yeah. Yes. I like you. I never give a five, so that's like really good. No, that's strong,

that's strong because Donnie ends in it because we would have fell out if you didn't give it something strong. Well, it would have been a four. Donnie listed it to a 4.5, so that was... That's what I'm saying. I like you, you know? Hey, she can come again.

Okay, what song do you want next, Mr. Song, man. I don't even know what I sent in because... These are all yours. Let's do something smooth and sexy, like, because... Oh, Solomon and Bert then, Solomon Burke. Cry a gone then, Solomon Burke or Mary Jane. This isn't a like, get down and chill with your girlfriend.

It's used in so many films. It was used in Dirty Dancing. It's also recently used in The Man from Uncle. Boom, yeah. My film knowledge is awkward. I'm going to go whine on myself in the corner. All right, okay. This is sexy.

All right, guys. Let's get down. Food Bar Radio presents The Hannah Witten show I really like 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? Be like, 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, she's bloody. Of course she is. She's Hannah Witten. Every Wednesday. The Hannah Witten show. From 6pm on Fubar Radio. Back room, chill. Yes.

Is what you listening to right now? That's it. I'm myself, TJ, misbehaving on the radio. We've got our, what is this, one, two, three, four, kind of fourth. Fifth guests? Yes. Wow. Beasio.

Lucy Patterson, welcome back to the show. She's back. Yeah. Guess you's bet. Back, okay. She's reviewing the films properly. Right, shit's about to get serious. We're going to be reviewing.

We've all been doing our homework. There is films just flying out of nowhere at the moment. There's just all the time. So I've been really trying to do my homework, and I enjoy it. It's fun homework, isn't it? So who's been seeing what and what do they think about it? And what is what? And what's coming?

What have you been watching and what shall we watch? Well, last night, I went to see La La Land. Oh, my God. I want to see it, but it only came out the night before. Well, exactly. And I was thinking to myself, you know, obviously the industry's gone completely apeshit about it. And I was thinking, okay, that's fine. But they also went apeship about Birdman, and I didn't like that film at all.

What? Fucking terrible. No. No, I thought it was terrible. It was stupid. I didn't love Birdman. No. It's all right.

But I went to see it. Oh, my God. It's so magical. Really? Yeah. Oh, it's not a soppy film is it? It's not all soppy. It's La La Landra one with a girl dancing and the man, oh, it's a musical.

But it's not like a full-blown fame musical or a musical where they can't actually speak, they have to sing every word. Like there's surprisingly few actual musical numbers. I mean, it opens with a massive one. Everyone's all in like bright primary colours and like dancing around on some freeway somewhere on top of their cars. Just like fame, really. But they shouldn't put you off because it's an amazing love story. And, you know, there's lots of cautionary tales about what it's like to do.

try and make it in Hollywood and things like that. But ultimately it's just this massive, sparkly love letter to Hollywood. And it's a real filmmaker's film. It's a real actor's film. Really? Yeah. It's... But it's a musical.

Yeah. You just can't explain it. You just did a musical, alright? No, it was a play with music in. Exactly. This is a film with music in. Come on now. Cool.

I get that. So it's Emma Stone playing a... It's like a wannabe actress or she's trying to... She goes on all the auditions and you see her failing and the pitfalls of trying to make it and things like that. I mean, I won't obviously go into her story any further because I don't want to ruin it. And then there's obviously Ryan Gosling who, oh my God, that man. Really? He has got a voice like velvet.

Seriously. Yeah, he's not. He's singing. Yeah, it is. Because George Clooney never sung in Brother Ware out there, which really got me. That has literally just shaken my world. Are you lying? On my life, he never sang that.

because you can't sing. So you know the soggy bottom boys, yeah? Yeah. He's my M-in! No. Trust me. I'm not having this. I'm not having you.

Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Produce an alley's nod in her head. Apparently. It's the truth. Swear that. I love it because Jan had got me

looking for songs for films or whatever for today show. And then I did, yeah, I came across that. Trust me. And that's one of my favorite films. Oh my God. Well, fuck George. Anyway. Right.

God. Plot twist. Can sing. And he can. Of course he can. Of course he can. Sure. He's just so captivating and he can move really well.

He can dance. He's little tap dancing number is adorable. You know, and it's basically a love story. There's things going on around it and these amazing choreographed routines. And, you know, it's all original songs as well that are just absolutely mind-blowing. It's just a beautiful film to work. And they've got really good chemistry because it's like the third time. These guys are hooked up and played lovers on screen.

So if you've got a like smashing chemistry, because that was my problem with them. with passengers. I didn't believe the chemistry. Oh my God, we need to talk about this, Joanna. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. Which is the passengers? I ain't seen this one. Passengers is, um, that was next on my list. Chris Pratt and Jennifer, Jennifer. Is it out of you?

Yeah, he's out. It's out of cinema now. They're both far. La La Land is well now, so. Yeah, La Land's officially out as of yesterday. It's on my list to see this weekend. I don't know. You just have talked it up, a good game, so I might go. It's not to everybody's taste. Do you know what?

You should go just to get an opinion. Yeah. Can I just say, news just in, um, Ryan. Goslin didn't do all his vocals, but Snoop Dog did his vocals. Shut up. Sweatown. The silence. The dead air.

I just thought I'd just thought I'd break your house. Brilliant. Stop with the ball. All right. Stop it now. So, okay, so Lala Land's got a full thumbs up. Go check it out. Just so that you can even have an opinion on it, I say.

Yeah, if you hate it, very enough. But at least you've watched it. At least you've given it. Yeah, giving it go. So Passengers was one that I saw. Yeah, I saw that too. and for anyone who doesn't know what it's about, it's Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence.

It is set in the future where people are moving to other colonies. I've seen the... I've seen this. So they're on a spaceship and they're going to be put to sleep for 120 years. And what happens is Chris Pratt's pod malfunctions and he ends up waking up 90 years early. Yeah, I know, I see... It's mind-blowing, I've seen it.

It really is. And so it is, I mean, the film is a bit of a moment. mine fucking and I was sitting there going what would I feel? What would I do? Yeah. Really, really what is real thinker in it? You're like, can't he can't turn it back on? He can't put himself back to sleep. He tries to fix it and everything he tries everything that you're sitting there thinking you would do

he tries. Swear that and the girl wakes up as well. So he, yeah, he decides. In the trailer, there's a girl. Yeah, yeah, so he decides to okay, spoiler at work. Spoiler alert, everybody, don't listen. He decides to wake up Jennifer Lawrence. Oh, we're. And it's all about the internal struggle he has

and the secret that he woke her up to. I was sitting there going, do you know what? I'd probably wake someone up. I probably would as well, but if you put yourself in her place as well, I'd be livid. It's murder, isn't it? You know, you're 90 years away from anywhere. Yeah, so yeah, because they got, oh my gosh,

that years before they get to civilisation. Yeah, so you would never get off that plan. You'd never get off that. That's it for the rest of your life. You're on the ship. You're on the ship. Is there food in the ship? There's food, yeah.

I mean, it's like this state of the art major starship. So is there enough food? Is there enough food for everyone? Well, there's 5,000 passengers on it? 5,000 passengers. I'm waking up at least 100 people. I don't care.

If I'm going down, I'm 90 years, I'm waking up 90 people, one for each year that I've got to be on this crew. Everyone's getting it. I ain't what, it's like, I hate me, you're up now, in it. Do something.

Do something? You can't go back. You can't go back in there. You know what I'm saying? No, people get locked up. It's not a problem. Tell me that. Nobody get locked in a pod with me.

You get more part. I thought it was, I mean, amazing concept, amazing story. And it made me sit there and think and go, oh, shit. Yeah. Which I liked. Amazing. What I didn't like is I didn't like, I thought that they obviously got the most well-paid actor and the most well-paid actress, and they just assumed that they would have chemistry.

Yeah. But they didn't. No. But he's so good, though. It's her fault. He's also absolutely beautiful. I don't know how it's normal to be that good looking. Trust me, he's got.

He's got something going on there. It's different. It's a new thing. I like it. It's a new gravy. It's like Bixson and Osgo Ossol match. I mean, I'm just going to like put my two cents in there, but I think I have a feeling it's that the reason why, apparently Chris Pratt's wife was on set a lot.

Really? Yeah, she came down to visit and Jennifer Lawrence has made a big thing about her being really Pally with Anna, her, the wife. Yeah. Which makes me think that nothing went on, but I think that there was just an over-sensitivity. to the fact that she is Jennifer Lawrence. I can't really lose myself in this. She's gorgeous.

I think there was just like a slight step back because she was aware that he was married. And she's also said she felt really nervous having a sex scene. She said she got absolutely hammered, didn't she before? She was nervous having a sex scene because he was married. I think it was on her mind. It was probably on his mind, especially with Brad Pitt and all of that. Yeah, yeah. Do you know what?

The thing is, yeah, see Chris, I used to read you here, but you ain't got no balls, bro. You got to tell the misses, look, jam back at home. You can't come to work with man, you get me, yeah. Say like she works in that, I don't know, a baked bean factory, yeah. You're not going to be there while she's packing beans, bro. So she's got to stay at home. All right, you've got a point. Do you get what I'm saying?

Like, some day, especially on the sex scene. I just feel like they're probably, they're fantastic actors, so I feel like they could have brought it. But I just didn't feel the camera. I felt like it was like a step back, and I think there was just a sensitivity. They were both trying to be respectful. Yeah.

Obviously, of the marriedness, which I respect. But in the, the pain. The payoff of that, the payoff of that was that I just didn't believe, I didn't really like root for them as a couple. No, I didn't. Oh, man, I'm disappointed because the trailer looks sick. If you think of like Titanic?

Yeah. And like Jack and it broke your heart. You want them. No, no, no, actually, she's a bitch. Because that could have both, they could have both floated on the team. Oh, we could go on for hours about that, could we. Trust me, I swear she, she, mm-mm. And also, women will survive longer in cold water.

It's scientifically proven that women will survive longer in cold water than men. therefore he's a heart should have been on the plank. Why? Because there's the boobies and stuff. I don't know what it is. Flotation domain. It's a scientific fact that women will survive longer. And plus, me, I can't trade water, so I need to be on the plank. But yeah, that's a long thing to hear about.

Okay, Leo. So, yeah, so overall passengers, I think it's a good one to see. But, like, maybe a really good DVD. Yeah, I mean, I thought... The thing is about that, the shame about saying that is that it's such a beautiful film to watch. It's like a poster for CGI and how far we've come. you know, it's just mind-blowing.

Yeah, like the money. And it's so clean and like, you know, get your dinner off it, that sort of like, edited beautifully type of thing. But I think Martin Sheen and Chris Pratt made a better couple than Jennifer Lowe's. I didn't want her to wake up. I knew she was going to because I've seen the trailer.

Yeah. But them two with their little two hand are going on, I was thinking, this is great. I could watch this for another two hours. They're brilliant. Like a bromance between a robot and the guy. Exactly. And then he was going to wake up and see, I don't want that to happen.

But, you know, it's kind of. He's got a robot friend. Bartender. He's like something out of the Shining, wasn't it? The only thing that he could talk to, he was, he's awake for a year on the ship on his own. And the only thing he could talk to was a robot bartender. And did the bartender have different words logged in?

Yeah, well, he was like an android, so he could have an intelligent... Yeah, yeah. So it's like two guys. From the waist up, he looks like a human. From the waist down, he's all. Yeah, has he got internet? Because you know what I could survive by myself? You know, actually, I could.

You know what? They did have a slight internet. You could send and receive messages to Earth, but it would take 30 years to get there and 40 years to come back. Oh my God. That is long. It's like dial-up.

That's what I'm saying. Imagine trying to stream like like a YouTube video or something like that. Buffering. I'm like, oh, John's video buffering for like the next nine years. That's long. My face on like, like, oh, come on. Right. Okay.

So, anything else that you've seen that you've enjoyed? Well, I wouldn't say enjoyed, but I saw it. Assassin's Creed. Yes. That, actually. Okay. On the surface of it, it's entertainment, you know, and fair enough. You know, I didn't sit there thinking I want to leave this cinema now.

Yeah. But it was just too much. It was too much. It was too much going on, you know, and there was all these superhero landings and this, that, and the other. And you do get sort of sucked in by Michael Fassbender because, you know, he hasn't got a shirt on for quite a lot of it, you know. Yeah, he was a very good actor, and he's a very convincing action hero, I think. He was very good, you know, this part where he sort of like, threw himself off a roof and just fucked everyone up with his little wrist blades.

And I thought, this is brilliant, like getting all rolled up in the cinema. Because it's based on a computer game, right? Yeah, based on a computer game. And I was thinking, you know, everybody who has ever played this game, which is probably millions and millions of people, is probably going to love this. You know, that does happen. If you're invested in it in your life anyway, and you go and see a film version of it, it's like an extension. But that can also go the other way, where you can think, what the hell have you done to my game? Yes.

It's true. It's true. I'm not that familiar with it. with a game but I'm obviously seen the game but I didn't know how I thought it was just set in medieval medieval time so to have that yeah so to have that twist where it's in now and then they go back and it's like all about finding

what they're trying to find the apple yeah I mean that was quite imaginative I must say but you could have called it something better than the apple the apple I mean To find the magic apple You understand which is a very special Apple I don't want to say too much yeah it needs to be yeah and it is a very special

But I can't believe that this whole game is about an apple. Do you know what though? They're saying that that isn't actually in the game. Oh, okay. That was for the film because you think you can't, there's about nine or something, three, grieve. That's what I'm saying. And all these different, like, shoot-ups.

I don't think they could all do it just around the apple. So I checked that actually because I was thinking, I'm not convinced by that. Yeah, because it was just for the film. So people are going to be peeved about that. If I was going to be like, why had the apple? Yeah. It could have been anything.

Exactly. Could have been in a bottle of Evian. Something. There was holes in it. There was holes in that pot all over the place. It was like watching Swiss cheese. Yeah, I can imagine it would be like Pete and everyone would have their opinion from the games company to the producers. It's too many cooks.

Too many cooks. But there's some badass fighting. Oh, there really was. Someone actually said to me, he'd seen it before me and he was like, oh, you know, the action scenes were a bit there. And I was like, what are you on about? They were amazing. Like the choreography that went into them, you know, like, oh my God, it was amazing. That was a good thing about it.

About when he's naked and he's just on the machine by himself, you know, when they come back to a real. Obviously, I know you. I'm never leaving the cinema. Talking action films, so I went to see Triple X this week. And I hadn't actually seen any of the previous triple X. No. No, I wasn't. I wasn't.

I've only seen the first time. I know. So I went in completely like fresh eyes, like what is this? And action-wise, amazing. Like, really, because they bought in loads like Donnie Yen and they bought in loads of martial arts stars. And I was a, I'm a Jackie Chan fan from back in the day. So I do like a bit of martial arts.

Yes. However, and Ruby Rose, I thought, was really good. Other than that, I was cringing. Oh, no, really? I really thought you were thinking about it's just amazing. No, no, no, it is a teenage boy's wet dream. Oh, that's my kind of movie. It's fine, but like the feminist in me was just, was cool.

Oh, sorry, no, sorry, that's not my dream. I thought you meant like the kicking and the fighting when we did on the end. No, no, as in like... Like that. So when you watch a movie, there's a theory that you subconsciously find somebody that you relate to. Totally. And that's how you get hooked into a movie. You find a character that you can either sympathise with or you think, then there has to be the same

gender as you. It has to be a character that you can associate with. And which is why when they remade the Hobbit, they, Peter Jackson added in girls that weren't in the original script. Because he thought, I need something for the girls to hook into. God bless Peter Jackson. So, yeah, I mean, clever, I get it. I just was fine. Until Ruby Rose came along in the movie, I found it quite hard to associate with any of the girls, because all the girls were just

there for the very, fairy well they were just there for the booms and the bekees and it was also as well I mean sorry but Vin Diesel is not my

cup of tea and he's a lot older 15 years older than the original one and he's him it was him when he kept trying to have sex with people it just made me cringe it just made me go

I was slightly like looking away from the screen and also it was in it was in HD HD and it was just two in my face and Vin Diesel put his tongue down I'm one of my... Oh no!

I mean, what is he now? About 15, God's like, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, honestly. With young girls and it just... Oh, no. I wasn't the first person to say that it was just a bit weird and pervince.

Like, pervy. But, but... But, go on. He can hold his own action-wise. And that's what kept me... That's what got me in the film was the action, the fast-pacedness. I was like, okay, this is cool.

But it was also, it was so hammy. Oh, no. Like, the acting in it and the characters and stuff. But that's what you get from an action film. I know. The 10 million... the series is, I mean, no, no, that's faster than the furious.

Fastly the Furious has got a million things. They have ripped it. I prefer the triple X's to the Fasted to the Furious. That's controversial right now, but I do. But I really like the triple X's. And it does what it says on the tin. It's an action film. Someone's got to do the action things.

Someone has to do musicals and romance. It was what it was and it is. And I was like, that's why I stayed. But I found myself cringing and I found myself that I thought that the females, it was like, I was like, she doesn't need to be in like a fire. high-boot. Why does she have to kick-ass in a wonder-brot? Like, why can't you just kick-ass?

In Jogging-Bot-I'm in, like, pyjamas? Can I ask? Because I'm a fan. I'm a fan of Donien, yeah. And, like, he's, um, he did the Itman sagas, which there's been loads of. Yeah. He's in Rogue One as well. Yeah, Rogue-W-W-W-G-A. This guy, this guy is the guy who trained Bruce Lee, and he does all about his life. And, I mean, the last one, I don't know why it had Mike Tyson in it,

but it's the only problem that I have with the Itman sagas. But is he amazing in the film? please tell me he's amazing and the film is good. He's one of the main characters and I did an interview with him you'll hear it next week but he was saying why he was interested in doing

this, it was the character that made him into it because he's done so many. And he does a lot of Asian films, he's not done a lot of Western films so he was drawn because he wasn't interested in playing just the cold-hearted Asian baddie so he wanted something with a twist and he's got more to his character than that. I like this. He's a good

actor. He's a good Grandmaster's another good film of his alone. I just felt overall triple X, it's like, it was you know, if you're into that, it's a proper lad's lad's field. And if you're looking for it, and the acting was, some of it was just shocking. Oh, no. But that's what you want in the action film?

Shocking out. Yeah, like when what's it, like Arnold Schultz when he's in the Terminator. Get on, get on, get on. God, God, Garnar. You know what I mean? You're just rubbish. You know what I'm saying? Rocky. I'm, G.N. You know? Don't start on Rocky now.

Exactly. Or Terminator, actually. But you're right, Palm for Chief. Moving on. Was there anything else on Netflix or TV or anything else anyone's been getting into over the Christmas season that they can recommend to anybody? I started watching the O-A.

Okay. I've just finished with me yet. Have you finished it? I've only watched two episodes and I'm hooked. See, TJ doesn't have the attention span but if you get off... Says you, the YouTuber and Facebook on. The Queen of Facebook, like, who makes attention span.

My attention is my... Have you known that I'm 50 years old, yeah? I've watched movies in black and white. Okay. Gone. The OA is the thing I'm raving about, because I was into Westworld, and I actually think OA has trumped Westworld for me.

I didn't like Westworld either. I didn't watch West World. I started, I don't know. It's rubbish. No, it's great. I'm sure it's amazing, but I just have it. Everyone thinks it's great but me. Well, yeah.

I think you're on your own now. You've got your own. Yeah. Does my opinion, ma'am. You can talk. But the OA, and I think the title of it, doesn't do any favours. No, it doesn't at all.

I wasn't drawn to it by the title. I put it off. But when you actually hear what it's about, it's about a girl who was missing for seven years. And she, you know, those are sort of people who get kidnapped and held somewhere.

But what was interesting, is that she was blind when she went missing and she comes back and she's not blind anymore. She can see. She can see. And... And... And what was really interesting

about, this series is that the opening episode, the first 34 minutes, I think, is the opening. And then it's... And then the credits rise. And then it starts in a completely... Then it goes back to 1987

Russia and it's a different time, different place. So the first 34 minutes is just like a prologue. And you need to watch it because it makes sense all later on. But it was a complete... I've never seen that done before and I was like, oh, this is different. Oh, now we're off to Russia and now are okay. It's just so...

The main star in it, her name's Britt Marling. She wrote it. Is it? Is it? Is it? She's a badass. And, oh my God, what an imagination. Yeah.

If I had half that imagination, we'd all be making films together because I'd write them. What? I just can't understand how someone's that talented. It actually makes me sick. No, I rate her for what she did, but I didn't get into it. I'll give it another chance. You've got to give it another chance. It's a bit of a drag at the beginning.

It is a bit slow. But I watched one episode. No, I thought. Did you finish the episode? Did you finish it? Yeah, I watched it, but I was like, didn't have a stuff because it just weren't gripping me. Yeah, but then episode two is when it sort of starts to move on. Like, you're just getting set up in the first one.

I think my laptop was still running, but I just went to paying attention. Yeah, you got to me. You need to try. I'll try again. It's worth it. Do you know what? I had just watched Dirk gently. And anyone seen that?

No, no. Dirk Jadley, the holistic detective now. It's got Elijah Wood in there and this other English actor I've not seen before, but it's really, really good. It's very different. Yeah. It's very different. It's about time travel. And it's given a new edge to time travel.

And it's like there is nothing like it. It's got a lot, I think, four, it's got five stars on the Netflix anyway. But usually, I'm a bit, you know, with Netflix homemade, everything seems to have five stars. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. Big suspect. No, this does deserve it.

And it's hard to explain what happens. It starts off with. there's just a blood scene and then a catwalk pass and then you've got Lajwood and he sees himself and you think how does he see himself? Because he's going up in a lift and it all spills out what happens and it's really good. It's one to watch.

You can't predict it, you can't predict it, go on. Right, no, I'm just not going to go on. We've come into land. We're talking to the end of the show. So thank you so much Lucy for coming on. Thank you for having me again. I'm definitely going to go away and see La La La Land and come back with my opinion on that one.

I might watch Triple X and then tear it a new one next week. I'm going to try that. Seriously, just give it one more episode and if you're not grip, then it isn't for you. But trust me, I've just finished the series and I've never been so affected. I sat there for a while

and just let it absorb what I'd seen. It was, honestly... I must have been missing signed. It must have been... You need the next episode you do. We could keep going on. We'll be back next week for more background show. And next week, we have got signed prizes

to be giving away. We're like stepping it up this year. We want to get more of you involved. So thank you so much for listening. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'm going to be playing. We're going to go out to all the way up remix. This is from the Triple X soundtrack.

This was something I did love about the movie. Thank you for listening, guys, to me and Johanna. And me, bye. Have a good weekend. Bye. If you enjoyed this podcast, please don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes.
