Not Noel Clark. Welcome to Backer and Chill. It's Friday. It's just gone 4pm. The weekend. I think it's officially started. We can just say that right now. I've got that Friday feeling.

It's happened. I'm joined today by Alex Hobern. Hey, what's good. Who is, if people don't know who you are. You've been a guest on this show already. This is your second time. Approximately two weeks ago, I think, to the day. Brilliant.

We boomeranged right back. And so what do you do? So, day by day. And by night. By day, I work for a great company called Unilad. And by night, I make comedy videos on Facebook on my own page, Alex Hober. little plug there. Go follow me.

Go follow me. No, no. No, you make really, really funny videos. So that's it's weird, isn't it? So by day you work for one of the biggest, I'd say the godfather of Facebook, really? That's it. Is there a bigger page? We run the game. Is there a bigger page? No. Well, there's bigger pages, just less engaged

and not as good. I see. Because they've got like, what, 22 million people? 25. Oh my gosh, it's gone up since I last checked those stats. Ok-doke. Oh my. You think you forget how many people there are in the world? Yeah, especially on a social media platform it's crazy that's insane but yeah so I do

that do other bits as well work with yourself on some comedy videos well I just broke a pen apologies for that guys sorry Fubour radio for that I will buy another one no breaks the chair every time yeah well okay this chair is actually on good

form today so chin up I know I was thinking I was like mate if no was here yeah okay that chair would be broken right we've got a jam pack show for you today we've got exclusive interviews with with Terrell, Alvin McCraney and Barry Jenkins, who's the writer and director of that new film Moonlight, which they're posted everywhere.

They've done a big push for it at the moment. I got to see the movie before. It's not out yet, but I got to have an all exclusive screening. Are you allowed to say out of 10 yet, or do we have to wait for the official interview out of 10? Oh, out of 10, out of 10. Well, normally do films out of 5, but I'm going to... Let's go for that then.

I'll say it was for me a 4. three four out of five. Okay, nice. Three and a half. That's good. That's got me excited. Because it's a beautiful film, powerful. Felt it quite slow.

But I'm going to review it later, so we'll do that later on in the show. We've got Lucy Patterson in at 520 to review films. We're going to be telling you what is hot and what is not to spend your money on. Because it tells so much to go to the cinema now. Yes, it does. I went to the cinema. I went to see 50 shades with my friends. And it was like 15 quid.

And I was like, is it worth it? Yeah. I mean, I go to the cinema, the Ritsey in Brixton, and that is like upwards of 15 pounds. It looks like a theatre. It's great experience, but... Don't they have Ritzy Tuesdays or Ritzy Mondays? Like six quid or seven quid or something? No, they do. There is a reduced one. But it just happens to be my luck that I always go on the most expensive day, I think. Like a price tiered every day. Yeah, exactly.

Yes, we've also got other guests. We've got Alex Vlauss. How'd you say his name? I'm not sure. Alex Vlahos. Vlahos. He was on BBC Merlin and he's here to promote his new play in London, which is so exciting.

And I've got so much entertainment news. I've spent all day yesterday researching and there is just so much going on right now in the world of movies. And this and that, I'm so excited. There is. There is. I went to see Lion the other day.

Not Train. Speaking of me. Yeah, okay, earlier I did say, I went to see a great film. It was called Train. There is a train in the film. Spoiler alert, but yeah, I got confused. It was actually lying and it was very emotional.

It had me crying most of the time. Yeah, my parents went to see it. I missed it. It's kind of going off the cinemas now, so try and grab and see it if you can. But I missed the screening last night. But that's the film about the young little boy in India who gets lost from his mom. Yeah, so he loses his parents when he's a kid and gets adopted, but then it's a big story about how he goes back and searches for his parents.

parents over a long period of time. It's actually the guy from Slumdog Millionaire, which I didn't realize before. And Skins. Yeah, who is now an absolute Adonis. He's a very good looking. I know. Right, can we just appreciate this?

So obviously, back in the day, I used to watch Skins, and he played, I don't know what his name was in Skins, but, Death Patel from Skins. And he always played the kind of goofy, kind of skinny guy. And then even in Slum Dog, he was kind of, that kind of adorable skinny geek. And then suddenly, boom! Yeah, exactly.

He's got facial hair. He's built. I was like, when did Dev Patel get hot? He's got those long flowing locks that I've been working so hard to achieve. And my hair line's just receding, unfortunately. Damn it, Dev! Because there was all this funny, I remember years ago, he used to go out with Frida Pinto,

who was the really gorgeous girl from Slumdog Millionaire. And everybody ripped out of him being like, oh, you're punching, she's gorgeous, remember. And then now, ha! Yeah, exactly. Apparently they broke up, because that's probably why he's looking so amazing. There's just one scene where he comes out of the water in his wet suit,

and he's like, obviously his stomach is really cuss up in like a six-pack style. And I was there with my missus actually in the cinema, and I just looked over and I was like, yeah, if I ever got the chance to wear a wet suit, that's what I'd look like. Much to her dismay, because that is nothing what I look like

because I'm sure you'll see it at some point today when the cameras come on. Maybe when it comes to the summer, I'd have lost a few pounds, we'll see. My boyfriend is famous for his chubby belly Jube. What a man. Can you imagine him in a wetsuit? I know, so the punching joke actually gets used against me and Jube quite a lot. Oh really?

Yeah, yourself and Millie. Yeah, I actually heard him say that at the Christmas Souret that we had earlier in the last year. Yeah, I heard my boyfriend say to your girlfriend. So, Dev. Wow, he's punching. Tell me your secrets, Dev. If I can possibly turn from punching to not punching, that'd be great. That'd be good.

So stay tuned. We've also got music, which I try every week to try and keep it in line with the movies I've seen or the movies I'm enjoying or the movies that I've forgotten about. So what have I got? What have I got? Let's play a little bit from the most recent thing I saw, which was 50 Shades Darker. This is Zane and Taylor Swift, which I think is a bit of a weird collab. Zane. Zane from the X-1 direction.

And Taylor Swift. And Zane sings higher than Taylor in this. We'll give that a little listen. 50 shades. 50 shade darker. Oh, that sounds like a really bad film. 50 shades darker. You know, it's back row and chill.

Yeah, Batman. The Batman Lego edition of 50 Shades Dark. 50 Shades of Bad. Okay. Here we go. So I don't want to live forever. This is Bat Row and chill. Okay, no.

No. Oh, how can he, you might have like, squeeze his bowl to get to that. Zane. Hemisphere of singing. Making money, though. I know. Like, can you imagine a song being on the soundtrack of 50 Shades?

Taitay as well. Taita. Are you fan of Taylor? I am, big fan, actually. I'm annoyingly a fan. Yeah. I don't like her, but I like her songs. Post-Ed Sheeran era, she's been a bit Avers, to be honest.

Mm-hmm. Don't you think? Maybe. What was that banger? I can't remember, sorry. One of her last song. Blank space. Oh, yeah, no.

I liked it or shake it off. Okay. Same album I feel. Yeah, I think it was. Right. So, competitions. This year we've been running competitions every week to win shit on the show. And we can announce our winner from last week's show on the Twitter is Jake Westmore.

So, well done, Jake. Jakey boy. Now, unfortunately, we can't speak to him because I think he does on the other side of the world and calling into the studio is not going to work because he's probably. probably asleep right now. But we're going to tweet you, Jake, so don't worry. And if you didn't win this week, don't worry, because we've got another thing for you to win. So Jake won, he won our train spotting competition. And this week we're going to be running another Brotherhood competition. So if you have yet to see Brotherhood, or if you've seen it and

you want to own the DVD yourself, we're going to be giving away a signed copy. Noll signed the DVD. He signed the poster and the album, including which has got like Stormsie on and Crepting Conan and all these cool people. So do it now. So if you go to at Fubar Radio on Twitter and just make sure you're following and retweet the picture we're posting right now. And next week, we are going to pick our winner

and I'll announce it on a show and we can try and call you and get you on a show if possible. So go now. Go and do that now. I'm going to give you like three seconds of air time. Just go do that. We're going to do nothing. So go on.

And if you haven't seen Brotherhood, make sure you go and check it out because it is awesome. It is. Yeah, you came to the Premier. I did. Yes. It was amazing.

It came to the Prem. A little Premier. I wasn't on the red carpet like Johanna and her flowing dress, but I was with a riffraff. It's on the first times ever that I've worn a dress with a trail. Yeah. And Stormsie stood on it. The night was full of Stormsy.

I met him in the toilet. He stood on your dress. It was an interesting life. We both had moments, little moments with the man. But did you hear about him this week? He got his door knocked down. Yeah. Because they thought he was robbing the place when actually he lives there in Chelsea.

Awkward. Aw. My God, that is so... His neighbours rang the police on him. That's what I read. That's what I read. Disclaimer, that might not be true, but that's what I read. No, I read that, yeah, and I've seen a photo of his, like, bashed down door.

Yeah. I would not like to mess with him. He is about seven foot tall. I know. He's absolutely huge, but a huge, like, angel. Like, he's so lovely and not intimidating at all, but from his stature, maybe. Speak for yourself. But, oh, my gosh.

Like, I mean, that's, that's awkward, isn't it? That's the racial discrimination at its peak. It is. I mean, to be fair, him on the neighbours, Stormsy is all the time. He's all over the world, so he's probably not home a lot.

So they probably haven't quite met him yet. But I think he'd been to the BAFTAs with Noel about full brotherhood at the time, or something like that. Yeah. So he was suited and booted, and anyone that robs a house in black tie. In a tux.

It's pretty bold. But, yeah, that was... James Bond style. Stormsy News of the Week. We should have a lot of Stormsy. February edition. Stormsy. segment.

Brilliant. So yeah, get on there, get on follow us on Twitter. Just follow us anyway, because there's loads

of funny stuff on there. And if you want to speak in our, speaking to our show, what's the word I'm looking for? Call in. If you want to call in

or contact us, you can email us directly at fubaradio.com. Any emails we get in we will try and read out and shout you out. Because we want to know, we want to know what you're up to you

this weekend, what films are you loving or theatre shows or what are you hating more specifically as well, that's they're more fun. What have you found really crap? Apart from me.

apart from oh my god this new presenter is so rubbish worse than no how's Alex doing in comparison to Noel put me on a pedestal against Noel that'd be great

right do you want a bit of a bit of entertainment news go for it what's going on because there is just so much well the first thing that I'm really excited about because my favourite film

in the world is hook okay the Robin Williams Peter Pan sequel okay yeah yeah I've got it I got it now oh my gosh

love love that movie. So apparently the actor who played Rufio, you know the teenage boy with the Rufi-io. He is making a prequel. Okay. To a piece of pan or to the hook? No, not the hook, to hook.

To hook. He's making a Rufio prequel. So it's going to be all about the backstory of Rufio. Apparently he was called Rufus and how he got put into a foster home, ended up in Neverland. Okay. How he became the leader of the Lost Boys since Peter Pan left because in that film they just turn up and he's now the leader of the lost boys.

There's a lot more lost boys and for somehow he's like now the new Peter Pan. So they're looking for that and also how he got his really cool Mohawk as well. So Dante Basco is the actor who's been doing that and he is, but he's self-funding it or he's trying to get it funded so he's putting it on Kickstarter. Okay. And they need to get like 30 grand to try and make this film. Yeah, sure. And they're looking for at the moment there's open auditions.

So if you are somehow, if you're listening from L.A., they're looking for local children in L.A. Oh, is it L.A. only? L.A. only. Yeah. I reckon I'd be a wicked lost boy. I know. Well, me too. I wanted to be the first lost girl. Okay. That's nice. Yeah, mixing it up. I remember watching the movie when I was younger and I was being like, I want to be a lost boy. And my brother's like, you can't be a lost boy because you've got Willie.

I was like, well, I want to be the first lost girl. Yeah, nice. I had no interest in being a Wendy. I was like, I can't cook. I can't. What? I can't tell you stories. I'll just, nah. I went to see Peter Pan and South Bank.

Oh, at the National? Yeah, in November. It was incredible. Yeah. And to be honest, I hadn't seen Peter Pan in 10 plus years. So for me, that brought back a lot of memories. And I kind of learned the storyline again. So, yeah, let's get this kick in on Kickstarter and get some money.

If anyone wants to, and the film's going to be called Banga Rang. Oh, Bangarang! Bangarang! Isn't that a song? Yeah, it is. Voice critics. Banga ring. Yeah.

Ding, ding, ding. We both sang different songs then. So, yeah, Google Dante Basco or Bangorang or the prequel to Hook and it's going to come up and you can like, you can just pledge like five pounds and then maybe you can see this film made, which is, I'm really excited to see that. Okay. Are you going to go, going to get a little plane ticket over there, go for the audition? I kid. I kid. Hi, guys.

You've been auditioning a bit recently. I've been secretly auditioning. That's why I like snuck out at L.A. the other day. Right, so Star Wars So there's been rumours going around this week That Phoebe Waller Bridge Who is the main girl in Fleabag This BBC series

That's just been like blowing up since last year And every, she's so funny If you haven't seen Fleabag Google that I think it's on BBC too now Anyway so Phoebe Waller She's really, really good comedian And she's been claimed that she was going to get A role in the new Star Wars

And she's going to be the first ever female main character droid Oh wow So that was what was going on and I was like so excited and apparently Phoebe has now said she's dismissed the rumours and said No that's no true But I don't know whether it's her

Just like maybe a secret was leaked And now she's trying to squash it I don't know I'm hoping Because I really like her Maybe she's under NDA as it's known Exactly so she's had to go Oh no no I don't know if he's all that But it's a bit of a random very precise rumour

Isn't it? Yeah I mean droids in Star Wars Are possibly the best characters I feel Like the one in the Rogue One was amazing C3PO obviously legendary and R2D2 actually but that new one I can't remember his name the big black

shapely robot guy really tall he was so funny yeah he was all the comedic relief in Rogue One so Suicide Squad 2 oh say that 10 times fast that has been apparently it's confirmed even though the first one was awful

and lots of people in talks to direct it and at the moment Mel Gibson has confirmed that he is in talks with Warner of us to direct Suicide Squad 2. Amazing. So, I don't know how I feel about that. I don't know what the story would be, but... I'm awfully sorry that I've forgotten that lady's name that's in Suicide 1.

Suricide Squad 1. Oh, my days. Please tell me she's in Suicide Squad 2. I mean, I hope so. She was the best thing about the first film. Harley Quinn. Harley Quinn. I know, right?

That is Halloween 2016, though. Comic Con. Everyone was that. Everyone was Harlequin and Comic Con as well. Yeah, yeah, I even went as Harley Quinn. I think she just had the monopoly on Halloween in 2016. She was just insane. Okay, and so Thor 3 is coming out, which is called Thor Ragnarok, I think.

Thor Bangerang. Thor Bangerang, we'll call it that. That's so much better. And apparently it promises to keep you laughing, and it contains the craziest action scenes in MCU history, which is a very bold statement to ever. say about a film that it contains the craziest action sequences in history. So I'm like, oh, let's see.

Okay, Chris Hemsworth, what's your thoughts? Oh, only as Thor. Okay. He has to have like the long hair and the hammer and the weirdly like... The hammer that no one else can touch. Exactly. I like that. Strong.

You just like having a hammer that no one else can pick up. Well, my boyfriend does, you know. Oh, chube. Yeah, no one else can touch the hammer. Wow. Wow. I just forgot that my parents wasn't to the show. Hi, mom.

Okay, and lastly, Jennifer Lawrence has signed up to play a spy in the new spy thriller called Red Sparrow. It's like a sexy Russian spy who falls for a CIA agent and then has to consider double agenting. Is that a word? Agenting? Yeah, yeah. Probably not.

I love Jennifer Lawrence. So do I. She's like my ultimate girl crash. I actually watched passengers the other day. Yep. Which you see her in a nice white, not bikini swimsuit. Baving suit. Bathing suit.

In this amazing spaceship setting, which just seemed to, yeah, it blew my mind, as I'm sure it did most of the male population, and female population, actually. I mean, what luck? If you're going to be stuck on a cruise ship, spaceship, for a hundred years, why not be with her? Can you imagine? Was it luck, though? Better see the movie.

If you haven't, passengers was, it was pretty good. I think, okay, right, that's at the moment that'll be, enough we've got a little bit more what's going on in the world, entertainment news coming after the next song. So now I'm going to play. Let's have a little look, a little look, what we can do. Oh, I'm talking about the film Lion slash train, if you like to call it.

This is Never Give Up by Sear, which was in the movie. Well, I haven't seen the movie yet, so you're going to have to tell me whether it's in it. Yeah, okay, let's go. Okay, let's give it a go. It's back around you. And Chill with Johanna James on Fubar Radio. It's Backrun and Chill with Johanna James and...

Alex Noel Hoban. Alex Noel Hoban. That is not my middle name. I was just joking. And we are joined today by our first guest in the studio. We've got Alex Vlahos. Yeah. Vlahos. Slashed it. First time. Good job.

Brilliant. Welcome, welcome. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Can we get closer to the microphone because I can see people in the box shouting at me. Oh, oh, oh, yep, yep, okay. The box. Is everybody's mics up and around?

Yeah, brilliant. Okay, so, Alex, I got the death stare. You are an actor. I am, yeah. Thespian, our co-fespian. And you are here for, to talk about, well, let's go back a bit, and let's talk about what you used to do, and then we can go right up to the present day. What did I used to do?

Well, I heard that you were in BBC Merlin. Oh, God, yeah, years ago, yeah. Yeah. Back in the day. That was such a show. Yeah. How long? we talking? What time of year?

Like, what year were you in Merlin? So I was in season five. Season five, okay. Came in and ruined everything. I was the baddie that basically, and I was the baddie that basically like stopped the show getting a season six. Oh, really? Yeah, so when I go to conventions, a lot of people turn up and they're like,

you're the reason why I cry at night. I'm like, I'm sorry, but you do realize it's acting and I'm not actually Mordred from Merlin. I don't actually have my own chain mail set at the house, you know. Oh, you don't, damn it! Should have brought it in. Me, yeah. Not good on radio.

Was it real chain mail? No. Plastic with a spray to like look like... Okay, okay. Don't ruin it though. Sorry, the magic of... The magic of TV. The magic of the BBC medieval unit.

Brilliant. So, okay, so you used to do the BBC and then so more currently you're doing theatre. I am, yeah. I'm doing a play called La Ronde of the Bunker Theatre. I've heard about the bunker. It's beautiful. I mean, beautiful in that sort of underground car park sort of way. Rustic.

That's the right word to use. Atmospheric. Atmospheric. Yeah. Concrete. Ooh, yeah. Modern. Exactly. Bunkard does scream concrete. It does, exactly. La Ronde. That sounds very Francais. Or is it? No.

Not. German. It's German. Yeah. Austrian. The guy that wrote the original play, Arthur Schnitzel, I think that's the way to pronounce it. But he did it. It was like in the 1800s. And it was so controversial of a play

that they didn't perform it until 1920. Like, yeah. Wow. And, yeah, or 1820, I don't know. But yeah, so we're doing a sort of modern adaptation of the play that's written and directed by Max Gill. So yeah, it's cool. And who do you play in it?

I play everything. So this is the concept. There's 10 scenes, 10 characters, and there's four actors, and the four actors have to learn the whole script. Wow. And then in between each scene, we spin the roulette wheel. There's a massive roulette wheel at the back of stage, and that dictates who we play on the night.

No way. There's a possible 3,000 combinations. That's amazing. It's amazing for people to watch but to be that guy or four of us we walk on and we're going, God, why do I do this to myself? Oh my God, I worry about remembering just you know, my lines.

Oh my gosh, imagine if you're... It's basically like playing Hamlet. That's how many words there are. So yeah, it's ridiculous. They're all in there. That would be so funny if you played it if you all had like a wet run and you did it drunk and you're spinning the roulette real and I think I think that would make it more challenging.

Is that me? It's not you? Or you start answering you, right? Well, that's what happens. When you start, like, you know, when you dry on stage or you can't, you forget your line, you're so blessed to have someone opposite you who can feed you the line because you know the whole scratch. Oh, everybody knows everything. Yeah, that's a good strategy.

Very, very supportive, which is lovely. And have you gone live yet? Have you started or is it? Yeah, so we opened on, we previewed on Saturday, Sunday. We pressed on Monday. And now it's, as you just told me, it's Friday, which. days make no sense to me You've been down in a bunker for this whole week

I haven't been underground I've no idea It's 2017 Is it? February Yeah It's February Yeah

So when we run until March the 11th I think Oh got a nice little time Yeah come along Yeah no 100% A week in How many characters have you had to play roughly So you can only

Maximum you can play is four Just because of the combinations And the minimum you can play is zero Sometimes you could potentially not go on in an evening Oh because it doesn't Because if the wheel doesn't pick you, then you don't know. Oh, okay. On Press Night, one of the actors only played one scene.

On Press Night's obviously, you know, agents, casting directors, friends, family. And the wheel was just getting to like scene eight, scene nine. And the audience was just like, oh, in despair, because, bless him, he just didn't get to go on. Oh, the audience gets to see the wheel as well. Yeah, the wheel is part of the set. It's this huge roulette wheel at the back of the stage.

Amazing. And we have these sort of mug shots that we put up with Velcro. And then we spin the wheel, and then that dictates who's playing what character. Okay, that's really interesting. I got told I'm allowed to swear, so I'm going to do it. It's fucking mental. I love seeing the guests, like, their first ever curse word.

It comes out. It comes out hard, but then also apologetically. Yeah, like, so sorry. My parents, they hate it and they don't like swearing, but sometimes they do, so they kind of weirdly whisper it. So I'm like, Mom, if you're going to just swear, just commit to it, commit to say it. Fuck, and she's like, I can't, I can't, I can't.

No, I can't. No, no, no, no. Mum's and sweet. She is sweetie. She's sweetie. Can't quite commit to the swearing. Not yet. My mum's very well spoken, but if you rub her up the wrong way, oh, she's what it comes out.

She's a dark horse. Yeah, it is. Yeah, I had an experience once in a car where my dad was on the phone, trying to figure out how to work the cooker. We had just got a new cooker. And I was trying to contribute. And my mum was trying to explain at the same time, you know, having that bit of back and forth.

And she goes, will you shut the fuck up? And I went, by the way, I was like, 22 at this point. I think it's worse when you're older. Yeah, yeah. It is, yeah. I've never heard my dad swear either. He's not a swearer.

I think the worst he ever did was he called me a git. He was like, you're tricky little gut! And I was like, whoa, dad! When you dust off one of the old swear words back in the day. A git, really. Let's bring that out. Let's recycle that. Burke.

Burke. Burke. So, how did you get involved with the play, LeRond? Did you audition or did you know somebody in the production? So I've just been filming a TV. It's called Versailles on BBC. And I've just finished filming the second season. And that's about seven months filming in Paris. Oh, oh, the French King one.

Yeah, Louis XIV. I love that one. So I've been filming that. And just that classic actor thing of just wanting to do theatre because I think it's real acting. And then phone my agent when I got back and said, just surprise me, give me a challenge. I don't want to do something.

I don't want to do the crucible. Like just bog standard sort of period thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's all I've really done on stage is done, like, I've done Macbeth, and I've done, you know, but they usually like period, classic stuff. And then this script came through and they said, you want to go and meet the director? So I said, yeah, and then sat him down and went, what the fuck you're playing at? You're mental.

This idea is crazy. Yeah. And then, yeah, got the part and started rehearsals. And yeah, and then just, yeah, it's been, it's been fun. Super, super, oh, my gosh. Well, it sounds fun, but they're not, it also scares the shit out of me. It's that thing of walking on stage, not. knowing who you're going to play.

So the butterflies are, like, going crazy. I'd just spew. I'd probably just spew. I do like fake spew, do you know, like, that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It never really comes out. You know. No! Just wretch. I was going to wretch, bro. It's my warm-up.

That is my, like, theatre warm up. I just going to wretch somewhere. Let's talk about nerves for a second. Oh, yeah. I mean, what, it's Friday now, started on Monday, five days in. Yeah. How are the nerves? Do they calm down?

Are they there continuously? They're continuously, well, especially at the start of the show, because you just don't know if you're going to have a busy night or a quiet night. Yeah. And then once the first scene is selected, and if you're selected or not, and you have to sit on stage for an hour and a half,

so you're constantly there. Just there, present. So I think once the first scene is selected, you can then start to breathe, then you can figure out that, oh, okay, so I'm not them too, so I might be the next one, and you start going over the lines in your head.

Okay. And then you're not that one, so you think, okay, what's the next scene? So you're constantly, like, thinking, but I think as the show goes on, you all sort of calm down. Buying yourself time kind of thing. Yeah, God, yeah, sweating.

And have you had any technical fuck-ups? Because that's my favourite stories of any time I'd ever do a live show or like any of filming or anything I'm like, what are wrong? Well, I don't want to spoil it. Well, it's not a spoiler really

because you can see it in the photos but the very first scene is between a prostitute and a bus driver. And the bus driver has a fetish for baked beans. So we have this sort of, the opening sort of scene is the prostitute holding a can of beans and the bus driver's going,

yeah, right, okay, I'm ready for you now, pour it on me. And let's just say that, you know, if you do get picked as the bus driver, you end up having an hour and a half of just dried crustacean beans on you. So it's not really a fuck-up, but like that one character is the one where you kind of don't want it. Everyone's like, no! The baked bean guy.

No! Oh, I got bus driver, and you're taking off your top because you know you're going to get beans on it. You're just sort of like, and you're lying there on the bed going, all right, come on then. And then you end up doing nine of the scenes with just sort of like an orange glow. Of baked. Especially because I've got a little bit of a beard.

It just sort of sticks in there. Oh, there'll be a beanie beard. And then he's sitting on the underground back from London Bridge just going, I think I can smell Heinz. Oh, it's me. O'Don Cologne, Heinz. Northern line. Heinz for men.

The worst line as well. If you could give any advice on nerves and how to deal with them, I know a lot of people in the acting industry, music industry, even just down to exams. Yeah. What would be your tips except for breathe? Because everyone says to me, I'm nervous. They're like, just breathe.

I'm like, I already am. Breathing. Can't you tell? Tips for nerves. Hmm. I don't know. Any little tricks that you do? Well, like, fake it until you make it.

So it's like one of those things where it's almost like pretend to be confident, like physically put yourself into a confident body stance. Pose, yeah. To make it look like you're not scared. Or the other thing is, you know, like a panicking, a swan. So the swan on the top of the water is beautiful and gray swan underneath. and also just the thing of you can pinch your inner, you can use your fingers to pinch yourself inside your,

and sometimes it just focuses your body. Because nerves is all, it's all triggered in your head that then reacts to chemicals in your body, like this way you start sweating or shaking or whatever. So I've always done the thing of just like knowing that it's happening, knowing I'm nervous, and then tricking, trying to trick my brain to think of something either completely different. Sure.

That's the sort of thing that I've always done, which is like, okay, like my sudden time. breathe heavily, I'm hyperventilating, whatever, and then just going, I'm just going to revert to thinking about, like, I wonder how they make corn flakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just pick a, like, a random thought out of your head. Just try not to think about why you're nervous, because the more you think about it, you end up going into a hole, don't you?

You can psych yourself. I used to do that a lot at drama school. I'd psych myself into thinking that I was going to mess up, and so I would, or I would go, or I would go blank. So you just got to, you know, oh, and the other thing, got me over that. So I struggled with that for like a year of thinking I was going to mess thing up and then I was going to actually do it.

So then I thought, okay, I need to go out the other thing and go, yeah, you probably are going to mess up, but you are going to save it. You are going to improv the shit out of that moment and you're going to wing it and you're going to be fine. So it's like on the cuff, it's like, because your brain goes to anxiety, it goes to like, what could go wrong? And then you're like, okay, but I can handle it. Anything that goes wrong, I'm going to just play with it. And it's going to be funny and it's going to be hilarious in the part of the day after.

It's an interesting concept because whenever, I mean, in my job, I'm out, I'm sort of doing presenting and stuff in front of people. And people, when they're in a crowd or a group, they become this thing which they're not, if you know what I mean. Like, you must see it all the time. You come out on stage and you're like, these people have paid. They're no longer humans. They're now these people that are like constantly judging you and affecting you. But it's just like making sure you remember that they are humans. If you mess up, they're going to be, they're not all going to be like, you're shit.

Especially with theatre, unless it's like a really well-known play, like unless it's Shakespeare where people sit in the front row and they mowed along with you. Oh, really? Like something like LeRons, like it's a completely new adaptation. Sure. You're the only person that knows that you messed up. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

That's a good point. And that's the thing to sort of realize that if you dry or if someone saves you or you miss a bit of the script, no one knows. Yeah. No, you know. Or the director that sat there making notes and tatting at you. Go. Sorry, sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. But yeah, nobody does know. So that's really good point actually You're there to... I probably guess even with presenting You know no one knows that you missed your Auto queue or your card is falling on the floor

or anything like that You just have to wing it, blag it Apart from me when I go Oh fuck I forgot Take two Oh it's live Oh no Sorry people

Like Adele Did you see Adele at the Grammys Where she was performing this George Michael thing And she's just like Oh stop stop I fucked up Stop I want to make this grid for him

like I want to do this. Oh yeah, she completely stopped. That's endearing as hell though, isn't it? It does work. It works and obviously everyone was talking about it. I wonder if it was not on purpose. That humanises her. Really, really, like massively humanises her.

It's great. Oh, I saw a thing. One of the best things that I've seen on my like computer screen this week is on my feed is Adele when they dress her up and they put a prosthetic on her to make her not look a little bit. Just do it like the Adele impersonation thing. Yes. So she gets put in with a group of Adel. Adele impersonators in a competition.

It was for her live thing, right, for Graham Norton. Yeah, very funny. And there's about, what, 12 sort of, like, hardcore Adele fan and impersonators, and then she's in the room with them, but she doesn't quite look like Adele. And then they're all going up one at a time on stage and singing someone like you. And they're all talking about, oh, what Adele would like or what Adel. And she's pretending to be nervous. She's like, I'm really nervous.

Oh, I'm really nervous, really nervous. And she's pretence to go and be sick and stuff. And then finally she gets to be nervous. up and then she sort of stops and has to do it again and they're like oh bless her she was so nervous earlier and then suddenly she starts singing and they all go yeah how is she that's her and oh they're all start crying it was just brilliant and adele was amazing her acting was brilliant she played the part so good so i don't know how you'd find that but google adele graham norton yeah impersonation on google and that's going to come up right we're going to pop to a song and then we're going to come

back and uh just keep chatting about what's going on and i want to talk to you a little bit about aside because I love that show so do it get some goss right so I'm going to go for oh I'm going to go for one more um 50 shades darker this is bomb bidi bimbytie bomb by Nick Jonas and Nickymanage

Back Row and Chill Back Row and Chill with Johanna James on Foo Bar Radio Boom you're listening to Backrow and Chill with Johanna James and Alex Hoburn we've still got our guest in the studio What Alex, how, this Alex.

Hello, yes, me, this one. Actual Alex. Yes. How was your day? That was smooth. So smooth. No, just because this was quite last minute. Yes. No point lying about it. It was very last minute.

And yeah, I went out and got absolutely shitted last night. Really? So I was ready to walk in and go, listen, I am so sorry for everything. But once I'm in you, I look like, I'm having a great time. You're looking well, though. Water. Water. That's it. Water's the key.

It's a doctor theatre tonight. That'll kick me out of it. But yeah, when I got the phone call, like, do you mind going on the radio? I was like, yeah? And then, do you know when you're having a shower and you clearly know that you're still drunk? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like, going, what am I doing? And you come out and you've still got, like, look at the mirror, you're like, I forgot a bit. I think I brushed my teeth four times. You know, like, you just keep going back to the bathroom. What haven't I done teeth? I don't know. Just keep going.

Just keep going. And then you get on the underground, and I was like, just psyching myself up. And then I thought, well, it's only radio. They're not going to see my face. And then the first thing I see is a little camera. And there's cameras. Oh, there's got four cameras in the studio.

Oh, dear. So I apologize. I was watching online to see my ugly mug. That's all right. Thank you. So, yeah, I'm going to see with the theatre and you're doing a show every night, most nights of the week. Is it a big party afterwards?

No, not really. It was just, last night we had a really good show, as in what that means for four of us is that we all got an equal opportunity. So sometimes one business on four and sometimes business on one. And it kind of feels like the energy is a bit lost. But last night we all got, I think, two and three, two and three or whatever. And it felt like it's one of them ones where, you know, the best nights are the ones that are unplanned, aren't they?

Yeah, yeah. When you just don't know and you're like, whey! I'll just go out for one. I'll just go out for one, yeah. That happens to me. Yeah, yeah. Just go out for one next thing you know, you've got Domino's at 4 a.m. And me and my flat may have this thing where we go to McDonald's and we go to McDonald's and we go.

go back to our house after a night out and I always lay on the floor once I'm there there's no move me he's like mate come to bed like I've got a bed there and I'm just like no I'm staying here I can't move I am home yeah this is my home my my my Uber driver was giving me like the death stairs you know like oh I know what you've done in the little mirror and I'm looking and I'm going to judge me I'm going to give you two stars if you do it's a mutual thing he's like you dare give you two stars I'll give you one stuff exactly yeah Oh yeah, of course they rate you, don't they? Yeah, that's it. You forget that.

It's a two-way. It's a two-way, haven't you. So, just in case anyone's join us, Alex is here to promote his, not film, his play, La Ronde, which is on at the bunker in London Bridge. London Bridge, yeah, yeah, so next to the mania, the chocolate factory. And you might also know Alex from, he was in BBC Versailles. Yeah, I still am. I start season three in May, so, yeah.

He gets to go out to Paris for eight months, which is nice. Were you there from the beginning? Yeah, I play, so I play Louis Cautors, younger brother, Philippe, who's a openly gay, cross-dressing warrior, basically. That sounds like a fun role. They described him as a 17th century David Bowie, and I was like, got to play this. So I have so much fun. I get all the cool scenes.

That's good. Horseback, cannons firing, and I get to wear a dress, and it's like Lady Gaga. It's amazing. It's amazing. Yeah. So season three, I start filming season three, but season two is coming out on the BBC in April. So, okay. With TV, I've got a question. Is there any job security, or do you read next episode's script?

And you're like, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die. It's not Game of Thrones in that respect. So it is history. And my Philippe real person lived until he was 60-odd. Okay, so you've got time. Plus, we've got an exclusive. I mean, they can write me out, right? They can if I was a dick.

Yeah. But don't be a dick. And just let history dictate the fact that I'll be here till season 40. team with a zimmer, you know, they will never recast me. Still all night's out. Yeah. A diamond zimmer. Okay, you're on royalty. Oh my god, that was, and so in Paris, but you're eight months, but you get to hot back a lot. Yeah, so like Eurostar is what, two and a half hours on the train? So, um, so I live in London and I come back every other weekend, I guess, but Paris is nice, you know, it's not like a bad

city to spend the time in. Have you learned French or have you, ha! Everyone else. ask me this, no. And I keep saying to the crew, because the crew are French, like makeup artists and the camera people and all that, I keep saying to them, like, I'll learn French by season two. And then season two kids.

By season three. By season three. And I think it's kind of like a good omen that I just keep not learning it and I'll keep getting commissions. I lived in Paris for a little bit for a couple of months. And it was my thing. I was like, I'm going to learn to speak French.

But as soon as people heard that I was English, they would speak to me. They'd be like, oh, English. And I was like, no, no, no, no. Please speak to me in French because I want to know. They don't give you the benefit of the doubt, is a shame. Yeah.

To be fair, most English people don't know French, so it's such a shame, and it's so disrespectful that they know English, and it's like, I feel so embarrassed that they know my language. I've had a different experience.

The places, I haven't been to Paris, to be fair, but the places I've been in France, they refuse to speak English. I end up just like, I mean, I've been skiing and stuff like that.

I went to Morsin, and I was like, oh, this is like Santan Nation, and I was like, do you have any more of this? And they're just like, hmm?

I'm like, what? What? Come on. So then you just cook like a lobster. Yeah, I'll just like, Damn that man. Bright red. Bright red. And I was just like,

hmm. Oh, right, Alex, we're out of time because you've got to get back to Lodd Bridge and got to get prepped. Come get tickets on bunkertheater.com. It's selling really well. There's only 110 seats per night, so it's quite...

Intimate. Very intimate. And if you do come and you see me play the prostitutes, I wear leather hot pants and that's it. So if that's not an excuse to come and see it. Oh, thank you so much. It's amazing. Thank you very much.

Have a really, really good show and break a leg. Good, that, man, have a good one. Cheers. Okay, I'm going to play next. This is from the John Wick 2. John Wick 2. This is, I like the trailer music. Let's go.

You're listening to Backrow and Chill. If that doesn't put you in the mood for the weekend. It does. That was John Wick, wasn't it? I don't know, what word? Yeah, it's made it. It is. That was the John Wick trailer song called Battle Royale.

Love it. Hiped. Hiped up. Right, we were to dance around the studio, you guys. So, um, just before the break, that was Alex Vlahos. Vlahos. Vlahos. Vlahos.

He was Vlari. No, I'm not coming. He was great. He was really nice guy. Definitely go and check out his play. It sounded amazing. I love that he came on like, maybe still a bit drunk. To be fair.

I don't know to say anything, but he's a bit cross-eyed. He looked amazing. I was like, right. Okay. He was the dog. Definitely hair of the dog Right, it's a little bit more entertainment news What's going on in the world of film

Jurassic World 2 Has started, officially started production Apparently they're going to make it into a trilogy As they do with everything that makes money nowadays But Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are back on board Amazing But Bryce Dallas Howard is not going to be wearing heels in this one Okay

Because there was all this big hoo-ha Oh really? I didn't know that. Yeah, in the first film because she was wearing these like healed stilettos and she was running around the dinosaur park being chased by T-Rex. Even I thought, I was in there, I was like,

kick your fucking heels off, girl, and run! Like, that's my first port of call if I'm being chased by dinosaur. Human nature, back to barefoot. Yeah, just do it. Like, just, you know, I'd strip naked and run, whatever. Maybe streamline, streamline me if I'm being run away.

Aerodynamic. Erodynamic. Less support, though. Less support. And if I haven't shaved, it wouldn't be very, I don't know. No, that's true. So, mm-hmm. Okay, too much information.

CMI. Because the last film pulled in $1.67 billion, so that's a lot. And I think that was purely with the trailer, with that massive, like, crocodile shark that jumped out. Do you remember? Yep. That, like, sold it for me. I was like, I've got to go and see this now. Yeah.

It jumped out of the water. Crocodile shark. The crock shark. I don't know if that's the thing, but yeah. The crash. I can't do it. No, there's no other words for it. Yeah.

But it was crazy dinosaur that jumped out of the water. The croak. That took me so long. Okay. And apparently might be directed by the same guy who did a monster calls. Okay, yeah. I've heard about, apparently that's another one to go and check out. I know.

Same as train. Same as train slash line. And there's just a new film I saw a trailer for. I was looking through, because one of my favorite things to do is to look through trailers and see what I get excited about. I love a good trailer. I guess sometimes I get more excited about a trailer than the movie. Okay.

And it's my dream to be in a trailer, sometimes more than... Oh, really? When I made it in the Brotherhood trailer, I was like, yes, I'm in the trailer. I was going to say, I saw you in the trailer for that. I was like, hang on a second. Hardly in the movie, but I'm in the trailer. And then, so there's a film called Colossal, which you can find a trailer on YouTube or Apple trailers. And it's got Anne Hathaway.

And it's this very weird... I mean, whoever came up with this idea, I'm like, cool. I'm going to run with it. Okay, hit me. It's basically about this girl and she's like hung over or she's ill or something. And she wakes up and she wakes up and finds that since she's been asleep, this huge monster has landed in some Asian city like Saul or Seoul. Okay, okay.

And all the world's media are on this like huge, huge monster. And then she's watching it on the news and then she goes up and like scratches her head. And then so does the monster. And then she realizes that she is the monster. And whatever she does, the monster does. Jeez. Robot. A bit like that.

It's like a big like Break dance. Robot monster. Metaphorical, physical monster. And then so she goes to see her friends and she's trying to tell them, look, I'm the monster that's running around the city. Wouldn't you just stand still? Well, so she does.

She said, and they would like prove it. And so she starts to dance. And then they look on the media and then the robots doing the robot. I mean the monster. The monster. I am tired. Wouldn't you just be like, okay, this is weird. I'm going to stand still, maybe I'm tripping out,

I don't know what's going on, but I'm going to stand still and not kill anyone else. Yeah, well, that's the thing, because every time she moves around, she could, like, stomp on somebody or a building. But also the thing is that when, when, like, the military go to, like, shoot her, she's like, ow, she can feel it.

No way. So it's called colossal, and it's kind of a very weird, dark comedy. And I thought, you know what? I'm going to give that one a go when that comes out. That looks quite funny. Sounds interesting, actually. Are you a Doctor Who fan?

No, unfortunately not. I had a think. I remember Doctor Who when it was the Scottish man, I think. This was a while ago. David Tennant. David Tennant. He was a good Doctor Who. I love a Dalek, but I haven't seen it since then, since Tennant.

Yeah, no, I was a Doctor Who fan. I was a big Doctor Who fan around Tenant, and then again with Matt Smith. And then I, after Matt Smith, I stopped. It's not Benedict, is it? Cumberback. No, it is. that he plays Sherlock Yes that is a show

That's a show I love that one No it's Peter Copoldi But he has just left So they are now casting For another Doctor Who For a new doctor Geez get the applications in

There is no news yet Whether it's going to be male or female Although there is a lot of speculation About whether they are going to go for a girl this time Apparently Tilda Swindon Okay Tilda Swindon Is that her name?

Tilder and the Tardis Tilda And the TARDIS. It fits. She's like number one girl who'd be offered it. I'd also probably quite like to see like Dawn French or someone. Yes. Would be amazing as the doctor.

And I love that I think it's open for being a girl because it is just called the doctor. Yeah, exactly. Doctors can be girls too. A lot of doctors are female. A lot of them are. Yeah. My girlfriend's mum is a doctor. Shout out to Karen.

Shout out to Karen the doctor. The doctor. Saving lives. And, uh, okay. And American Horror Story. Are you a fan of that? Oh, dear. No.

Are you scared of horrors? Yes. Yeah, I can't do horror films. Like horror films and stuff, I'm like, no way. But I managed to actually get through American Horror Story because there was enough of, like, characters in there. There was enough stuff to make it not so scary. Is it the one Christian Bale?

No? Okay. Oh, that's American Psycho, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a very cool series. So it's like a horror-themed TV series. And every season is an entirely different storyline. Okay.

So the first season was set in this creepy house in L.A. with a family who moved in. And so they did the whole of the series and the season around that. And then the second season, they got all the same actors back, but they completely went back to the drawing board and said, okay, nope, we're now going to set it in a mental hospital in the 1960s. Wow. So the actors get to stay in the season

and they get rewritten in as completely unrelated characters and then you just get to see them again doing something a little bit different. So I watched the first two seasons and then I became single and I did not want to watch it on my own because you need to watch it with a buddy. Shoulder to cry on.

A snuggle buddy, I think. But the American Horror Story season six is about to come out but season seven apparently is going to cover the presidential election in 2016. Oh wow. I think they're going to do something Trump-ish with American Horror Story. That's a good move. I, yeah, I had a bad experience with the horror.

I watched Jeepers Creepers. Right. That was the first horror I ever saw when I was about 10. Ever since then, I can't look at groups of crows because that means that Jeepers' creepers is around. There's other things that freak me out as well. But it's a long, ongoing thing. I need to see a psychiatrist, I think, about this one.

Yeah, crows. Yeah, not to get you for your birthday. Yeah, no crows. I'm not sure why you'd be getting me crows for my birthday but... Never know. My bird sanctuary. I don't do horrors.

I can't think of what was the first thing that scared me. My dad when I was little, he showed me Planet the Apes. Okay. And I could do the first one fine, even though it was quite a scary thought. I literally really thought that the world could go upside down and monkeys would take over. But in the second one, they go underground.

and there was where the old humans, like some sort of human cult go are under there. And they've got these weird brain heads. Anyway, I just remember seeing it and then my dad goes, oh, don't look. And so I went, and then I kind of tried to cover, but I did see and I saw these brain cult people

that live underground. And I had nightmares for so long. Be careful with your kids when you're watching that stuff because it does affect you. Like, it's affected me to this day. Thanks, Mom. Actually, it wasn't, mum. Like, there's my friend Alex.

Thanks, Alex. But it really, really, really affected me. Isn't it crazy? Yeah, when you're little. And, I mean, if anyone listening out there has got any, what was like the scariest most thing that really affected you as a kid or even as an adult, what really scared the shit out of you and affected you? Yeah, in terms of entertainment.

Do you know what was weird one? My little brother, when he was about three, he was absolutely terrified of Emperor Zurg in Toy Story. Is this a hack? Yeah. He was petrified. And he'd be watching Toy Story. And as soon as Emperor Zerg came on, he'd be out, he's crying.

He didn't want to watch it. He had to fast forward it. He had like a fear of this Emperor Zerg. This is potentially the biggest question of the last 20 years, Buzz or Woody? Woody. Really? I'm, yeah, to infinity and beyond all the way, baby. See, that year, I got a Buzz Light year.

because the year the toy story came out, it was you had to have a Woody or a Buzz. Like, that was the Christmas thing. And I really wanted a Woody. And Woody had all sold out, so I got Buzz. Really? And I did like it, but you can't cuddle Buzz. It was a really hard bit of plastic.

And it wasn't like something to nice to sleep with. It was just this like hard buzz light year. So I was really annoyed that I didn't get a buddy. No one wants to sleep with a hard buzz light year. Woody gets to pull a string and there. I was a snake in my boots. So I really wanted that, man. So if anyone's got an old Woody doll, they want to donate to me,

just send it in football radio. There's a really cool range of brands out, which have Andy written on the bottom, and they've got like, yeah, Toy Story-Story style stuff on them. It's really cool. I'm desperate for a pair. I think they're sold out, but. I totally drew Andy on the bottom of my shoes.

Yeah, I did. Nostalgia is strong. But my dad is called Andy. So it's like, I am my dad. Property of Andy. Property of Andy. Right, so Big Bang Theory. Are you a fan?

Yes, massively. Well, that's a good job because they've just commissioned season 11 and 12, which I don't know. I don't see this ending. Yeah, I hope it never does. Sheldon Cooper is timeless. I just, I don't think he's going to, apparently he's got a role in hidden figures.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And as soon as I saw him, but he's playing like a NASA scientist, and I was like, mate, you're never ever going to be, not Sheldon. You will never ever going to be not be Sheldon. Whoever wrote that is, yeah, that's crazy.

And he carries the team, I think. Like Leonard, okay, great. Penny, obviously she's very attractive. Yeah. Howard and Kutrapali, they have such a funny relationship. But Sheldon just nails it. He's the glue of the entire family.

Love it. So, yeah, and the other thing that I saw that has just come out is Love Season 2 on Netflix, the new trailer, if anyone has been desperate to see that, because last year they bought out I think he's called Judd, you know Judd Abdo? He does all the, he did like Knocked Up.

Oh, I think I know he's a guy actually. 40, 40-year-old virgin. All those kind of Seth Rogan style. He does sort of all those Hollywood films and he decided to write a Netflix original series called Love. Which, again, I don't think it should be titled that because I think it put off a lot of guys from watching it. but you shouldn't.

It's just so good. I definitely check it out. And it's set in LA and it's about a guy who works as a tutor on the Hollywood lot, tutoring the children who are in the movies. But he desperately wants to be a script writer. And he's trying to get his scripts him. But he has to teach these little brat children. And it's about how he crosses paths and meets this kind of crazy girl who's got,

she's like a love, she's a love and sex addict. Oh, she's got. A love addict. A love addict, which is a thing. Yeah. It's a thing. A love addict and a sex addicts and they kind of...

I mean, like, when does sex become an addiction? Because you're trying to have it pretty regularly, right? Sex addiction, I don't know what the actual... How many times does it become an addictic? Like, how many times a day does it become addiction? I think it's not in the matter of how many times.

I think it's when it disrupts your life. Yeah. You like skip breakfast. Any addiction. Any addiction. Yeah, actually, what is the definition of? an addiction? Yeah, right in. Right in. What is, what would it be? I think it's when you, um, yeah, when it, when it,

you give up other stuff. Yeah, when it overtakes something like, if you, if you skip breakfast for drugs or sex, probably got an addiction there. Not so much breakfast because, like, that's happened before. Okay. But let's go for like lunch or like dinner. Let's go for, if you skip all the meals, then you're right. Right. Okay, so go check out Love trailer on Netflix or I found found that on the internet. And I really, really recommend the first series because it was so good. Right, so this week I got to go and meet the director of the new film Moonlight just straight after the BAFTAs. So the BAFTAs happened on Sunday, so I watched that with my brother.

And I did see Noel. Noel was at the BAFTAs and he was wearing this white tucks. And he kept being, he was sat behind Amy Adams. And every time the camera went to Amy Adams, there was Noel. And I swear at one point he was on his phone. I was like, No! You're on TV! He's like the English version of Rihanna when she was at the Grammys with her little flask, hip flask. she had a diamond hit flask

she was just drinking all the way through. Oh, amazing. Well, no, he wasn't that cool. He was just on his phone. On his phone.

And, and yeah, so no, was at the Bafters, but afterwards, I got to go and meet, um, the Terrell,

um, and also Barry Jenkins, who directed and wrote Moon Night. So I'm going to play for you now a little clip of when I got to go to speak to them because they were so lovely. And they're over here right now from, uh,

L.A. So let's just play this for you out. Here we go. Back row and chill with Johanna James on Fubar radio So we met Barry

early in the week and he said that you guys The good guy Yeah he's the good one Oh you're the bad one No no I'm just the weird one Okay And yeah so we've got to speak to him

A little bit about his side Because he said You wrote the play That got then evolved into the movie Moonlight So if you could just tell us a bit About what the play was And how you wrote that So the script in Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue.

I wrote in 2003, shortly after my mother died of age-related complications. So I wrote this kind of, you know, filmic. You know how sometimes you sing in the shower a little bit, even though you don't think of yourself as a singer. And I was writing plays, and I didn't think of myself as a film. filmmaker, but I wanted to write something that could feel like a film only because the memories of the time I had spent with my mother were coming to me in very visual ways and experiential ways, which is different than what we do in the theater. So I wrote in Moonlight, Black

Boys Look Blue, and then I went and wrote the rest of my plays. I sort of got down, I thought, got down as much of the feeling of growing up in Liberty City in Miami as possible, and then kind of left it. And then a friend of ours, Andrew Heavier, who is a filmmaker in Miami, the Borsh Corp, got that script from me by asking me if there was anything that was ever made, that I'd ever written that looked, felt like film. And it was this piece, and so I gave it to him, and then he hunted Barry down and gave it to Barry, who, oddly enough had grown up three blocks away from me. But you didn't know each other? Didn't know each other. went to the same schools.

He's only eight months older than I am. He says he's eight months older than I am. I think he's not. I think he's actually maybe a little older. Okay, he's just like skimming a little off the top. Yeah, yeah, maybe like nine months older. But, you know, but not much older. So we were in, you know, similar grades and knew similar people,

but didn't know each other. And so this is a very biographical film for you. No, for sure. And also for Barry. as well. I mean, I think what we discovered is that, you know, we grew up in the same time period. Some of the same things influenced us. I mean, both of our mothers struggled with drug addiction. And, you know, we both looked, we saw the drug trade around our neighborhood and, you know, dealt with abject poverty. So we both, you know, grew up in similar ways. But certainly there are events in the piece that are directly from my life, especially the first two thirds of it.

And Bear was really careful to protect them and make sure that they were framed in a really authentic way. And also like the love sort of storyline. I've definitely got a love storyline. I was like, Bear and Love. Sure. And is that also inspired by your... No, those are real events, yeah. So there was a kid named Kevin.

Oh, wow, like literally that... Yeah, no, no. So Kevin's going to go see the movie and be like, hey. No, it wasn't. His name wasn't Kevin, but there was a Kevin. Oh, okay, all right, okay. I was like, otherwise, maybe you should change the names. Oh, no, no, no.

Though the kid who did, who was the bully named Terrell, was named Terrell. I didn't name him that from some sick joke. His name was Terrell. Okay. Yeah. But I doubt he'll see the movie. It's so strong because it deals with like, yeah, bullying, drug addiction, the backwards, upside down relationship when mother and child,

when one has to care for the other and sort of the wrong way around. So there's so much in this film that I think people are going to, you can just relate to and it just hits like that. It goes straight in the heart. It's like, oh. Were you, how involved were you in the film production or was it more you inspired that and let Barry go off? So once Barry and I figured out, we started a conversation about the script and that he figured out he was on a, this was going to be his second film, which is really brave and courageous of him. We sort of just tried to figure out the structure. because the original structure went so that all those three chapters were braided on to each other.

So you would see Little wake up, you would see Shiron wake up, you would see Black wake up. You would see Little going to school. You would see Shiron going to school. You would see Black going to the corner. And that's how the entire film progressed for the next, you know, hour, hour and five minutes. So you realized that they were one person. And Barry felt really strongly that we should divide it into three chapters. So that we could see so that the audience had a chance to be immersed in those pivotal moments.

in a way, which I thought was really brilliant and smart. And once we got to that conversation, it was pretty easy. It was sort of very swift to go, yeah, let's do that. And then Barry went off and rewrote the script in that way. And that's how we got Moonlight. So after that, I was like, great, you're going to make it? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, okay, fantastic.

Well, I'll be here. And you guys let me know how that goes. And when they were filming in Miami, he invited me to set quite often, but I did not. I was smart enough to stay away. Oh, you're going to stay out. It might be quite hard to see sort of your baby child. Oh, it was less about the script. It was more about I didn't want to see those scenes happening again.

Oh, okay. Okay. And have you ever wanted to act or be front of you? Oh, I am an actor. Oh, you are? Okay. Okay, and so you write stuff for yourself to... No.

No, okay, because that's what I do. I write my own. Oh, that's good. That's good. I rarely, you know, I just... I stopped acting when I... I think the last play... I did was I was workshopping the suit with Peter Brook and then that was the last thing I did I was sort of like nope this is good I'm done this is tiring it's very tiring yeah yeah did you ever get like performance anxiety or always yeah yeah that's why I stop it's hard to do I'm very shy I'm very hard on myself you know acting is very difficult so I decided to continue to write I also was you know I like the collaborative process I like the part where we all sort of sit around and get together and make

something happened. And so, you know, the family that I've gotten out of Moonlight is sort of impressive because these are actors who absolutely do that. And so were you at Bafters? Yeah. And are you going to the Oscars? Yep. Okay. So was that the real first time at Baxter's or had you been around the award? No, that was definitely my first time at the Baptist. Okay. For sure. What was it like? Probably maybe my last time. You couldn't go. Um, it was, it was surreal, you know. There's royalty there? Yes. They were. were. Yep. Do you find yourself just bowing for no reason? No, but I certainly, you know, it's funny because I didn't know I knew this. Maybe it's because I spent so much time here, but I found myself,

you know, when the prince, when the Dutch and the Duchess came in, then the Duke and the Duchess came in, I sort of stood up and knew I was supposed to stand up. And I was like, I'm up. Does anybody else know that? Oh, you guys didn't know. He's supposed to stand up. And then at the end, when everybody was like, oh, it's over, let's go. I was like, nope, we have to stay seated. until the royalty leaves. And I was like, how does nobody know this? Like, you guys don't know. Come on.

It was basic royal decorum, everybody. Exactly, exactly. It's like, you've got to learn that. That's really exciting. They were so charming. And it's so awesome that, you know, a crown royal is the president of your Academy Awards. Yeah, that's really cool. That's sort of stunning.

I don't know if we ever can have that kind of integration in a way. Or maybe we don't want that. But it's sort of really beautiful that they were that involved. in that caring about the process. And obviously Moonlight was up for Best Picture. So aside from... Four Baptist. That was amazing too.

Yeah, yeah. Four, four. But aside from this film, what's been your favorite of the films that last, well, last year? Do you have another favorite film? Oh, lots of them. That you liked. So, you know, I... Did you like La La Land or is it?

Yeah, I like it. I liked it. I don't think it's, everyone's having a big hoo-ha about it and I found it so much more sad than... Oh, yeah. No, it's... You know, it's good for Damien Chazelle. It's incredible job.

It's really, it's beautiful on the eyes. And some of them, sadly, some of them I still haven't seen, you know. But at the same time, you know, I loved fences. I loved hidden figures. I loved 13th. I loved Lion. Oh, lion. I love Def Patel, man.

He's got hot as well. Oh, wait. That's, I mean, that's not what I meant, but sure. But, I mean, I know, I love him. But obviously, Dev started off on a British TV sitcom when I was, we were both teenagers. No, yeah. And he was known as the really kind of geeky guy. And then just suddenly, boom.

He's like, come out. And everyone's like, when did Dev Paddle get hot, mate? Oh, yeah. Nah. I mean, I think he's always had the kind of charm to him and sort of, you know, you can't, those sort of bright eyes that he has, you kind of can't make those up. And so they glow on film. And so maybe he's just gotten used to that.

I don't know, but he's just, he's an incredible actor. I mean, and that was the other great thing about being at the back. after you sort of sitting around very talented people. Yeah. Right? And you're like, yeah, this is the talented room. Who was the, who is like the coolest? Did you fan go over anybody?

Yeah, for sure. I met Rez Ahmed and I was like, Ah, dude, you're so awesome. So awesome. I was like, yeah, tons of times. Tom Ford came up to us. I was like, dude, I'm wearing a suit from you. I'm wearing you.

It's a very weird thing to say to someone when you first went. No, no, I didn't say I'm wearing you. I definitely was like, I'm wearing your clothes, like for sure. That which is also weird, you know, it's like, but yeah, it was sort of a stuff. You know, you can't, I don't get over, you know, Nicole Kidman was right there. And I was like, you were amazing. Is she super, super tall and elegant?

She is elegant. She's not as tall as you. Oh, really? Yeah, I think, you know, she seems very tall because of the presence that she has. And, you know, and Merrill Streep is the coolest because, so this is the interesting thing. So I was at the HRC before I got, I flew over. So I was in New York, and the human rights campaign had a gala that honored Meryl Streep and Moonlight the same night.

So that was Saturday night. And we did that. And I was like, oh, my God, I got to get on a plane and got to go to the Baptist, which was, like, terrifying to me because I'm like, I'm going to be, I'm never going to get any sleep. But Meryl was there at that. And she was just lovely. And she was like, I love the film. And she was so complimentary.

I was like, oh, my God, Maril Streep. She'd be so cool. She hugged Jarrell, who plays the middle of Kevin. And, like, they had a whole conversation. I was like, this is great. This is so wonderful, a little moonlight. And then I go get on this plane. I'm, like, complaining.

I'm like, her. And I show up at the Baptist, and there's Merrill. Glowing, amazing, standing there, kissing everybody. So wonderful. And I'm like. Witchcraft. Yeah. I'm like, she's a sorceress.

Witchcraft, mate. She's a sorceress. She's like evaporated herself. Deaparated herself there. She's got a wand somewhere. I swear. Like her and J.K. have been having conversations about how to use the hoggwards, like,

teleporting. I know. I can't just be makeup. Or anyway, we're out of time, but thank you so, so much. And have a brilliant time with the Oscars. Oh, thank you.

Woo-hoo, and we've just been joined by Lucy Patterson. Hello. Our in-house regular film review. Yes. It's time for film reviews. we're going to be talking about films that we've seen this week, things that are coming up, what we think is shit, and what we think is not. Please do join in.

So, what have people been seeing, viewing, streaming this week? Who's going first? Shall I go first?

You go first, we see. Okay. John Wick, Chapter 2. joined up. I went with you. Me and Johanna actually got to go to a screening together rather than being Billy Nomates on her own, which was quite a treat actually. And it was a really, really good film.

I didn't expect anything less, to be honest. The first one was amazing. People that don't know, or I haven't seen the first one. John Wick, Chapter 2 is the second film to John Wick, funnily enough. Starring Kearney Reeves, he is a hitman trying to retire. He's just trying to. He's just trying to retire and live with his little dog and, you know, everything just gets completely fucked up and so he has to go and kill loads of people. So it is 100 miles an hour from the second

it starts. Yeah. You know, the question that I had after watching it was how many times can one man be run over and still get up and fuck everyone up? Like he's just, he's like my new hero. And Keanu, he came in. He did. Oh my God, he was so exciting. He came into the screening. And it was like, in the flesh. Yeah. Oh, it's so good. Neo. So I went in and I hadn't seen the first one. So obviously I didn't get a couple of the references,

but I didn't really need to. No, I don't think you need to. This film is a standalone story. You can obviously see that it's a guy who used to be a hit guy that gets called out again. Yeah. The only thing is I was so, so tired because I spent all day filming a La La Land sketch,

which is going to be out on Fubar's Facebook soon. Did you fall asleep? Then we did the show and then we ran to Lester Square, and I was there. And then I woke up on. I was like, Lucy. I actually wasn't going to tell anybody, Johan,

who just grass yourself up. No, I have to say, it wasn't the film's fault. No, she was so tired. You looked so comfy and cozy, oh, bless you. I don't know, I was that right.

I just called her down into the, and then I kind of, so I missed the middle of the film. Yeah. I saw the beginning, I woke up and then I was like, did he, did he kill her? I don't know.

What happened? What did it? What did it happened? And then I saw the end, sort of like midway to the end. Yeah. So I thought it was good. And yeah, it wasn't anything particular. It was, it was great, like, they stretch the realms of violence, I think.

Oh, they really did, but it was glorious. It's like, you can't be hit and punched and stabbed and run over that many times. He's a machine. And the thing is, Keanu Reeves, it's 52. Wow. He's 52, and he moves and fights like a 20-year-old ninja. He's amazing. Yeah.

I'm glad he's come back. And when I came in, I was like, when I saw his face, I was like, he's not aged. Really? He's not aged. What did he look like in person? He's just a... Neo from the major... And he's so softly spoken, isn't it?

It was really sweet. It was a very surreal moment, I must admit. Hey, hey, guys, thanks for watching this. This is a really fun film to make. I was like, yes, I can't wait to watch it. John Week 2, bye. No, no, it was good. So John Week 2, I think it's out in cinemas.

It was out? Yep, it came out today, I think. It's amazing. It's well-made, well-acted, fun film to watch. Yeah, lots of patches. If you don't mind, go and check it out. I'm definitely going to go and check it out.

Yeah, you should. So I went to see 50 shades darker Oh, did you? Because it had the one star review So I was like, let me get in. I'm going to get involved. And so I went with some girlfriend with Brooke.

Okay, yeah, yeah. And my housemate. And it was so weird because we went into the cinema and it was all girls. There was no men. It was all female. And it was like some sort of interactive

thing along. Literally, yeah. He came on screen and everyone went, Oh, stop here. I'm not even joking. And I'm not really, I'm not really a Christian gray, like, enthusiast. I don't really find Jamie. Jamie Dornan.

I mean, he's obviously, he's beautiful, but I'm not like that into. Not psychotic about it, yeah. No, I'd prefer, like, funny and hairy, but. And then anyway, so, but every time he kept, like, coming onto the screen or taking his top off, there would be these audible. Oh, wow. That is so cringe. Really?

Yeah, it was so. funny. He's so awkward. And I had one friend on one side, another friend on the other I was in between and they were both just losing themselves over this. It was so funny. I was like, what's wrong with you? He's just proposing, okay? And so as a film, it was

like, I actually way preferred, the first one, I didn't really like the first one at all. This one has got a much better storyline. Really crap S&M though. Really? Like, average shots. Yeah, literally it's like, I'm going to... Well, I think you have to turn it down from the

because they are basically pornography. Okay. But honestly, it's like I was, you know, expecting to go in and learn something and he was like, I'm going to tie your ankles down. It's like, that's it. Really? Yeah. So he tied her up, basically.

He tied her up. Oh, boring. Yeah. And, oh, is that it? And it would never be as slick as it looks. No. No, and I was thinking in there, I was like, mate, if I should, we should do some sort of 50 spoof. Please do.

That would be hilarious. of it because I was like, it doesn't happen like that. There would be farts and they would have to do that, yes. That goes on. Was she any better? Because she was wooden as anything in the first one. Yeah, but this is the thing that I can't

get around is like the character that she has to play. She's really, really mousy. Yeah. But not even like cute girl dressed down. She's just quite dull. Dull. And the character's got nothing and he's like, so this big billionaire is like obsessed.

you know, with his, like, minions and having this, like, submissive people. And then for some reason, he just falls head over heels for her. And I can't see why. And I can't see how, all of a sudden, one minute he's a control freak psycho, and the next minute he's all suppy and shit. It's just, it's not believable.

It's, uh, it just, I don't believe it. Like, if she was something like, you know, like in pretty woman. Yeah. She's, uh, the Vivian, even though she's like a prostitute, she's so, um, charming. Charming. And she's, and she's, and she's, and she's, and you get why he'd fall in love with her. Yeah, but, yeah,

We've been a stage you're like, really. And there's nothing. So, like, she's really dull. And, and, and, and, and, but she doesn't, she's, she's not really cute anyway. She's not really funny. She doesn't really crack anything. She doesn't fall over anything.

She's not clumsy. It's like, she's just really boring. Yeah. And I just don't think, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I was like, why are you? I was like, why are you? I can hear it as well.

I could hear her people going, she's not pretty enough for him. Really? She's not pretty enough. Jesus. She's not. And I was like, whoa, so she's punching. Yeah.

she's touching that time and it was just you know it was just it's basically girl porn I realized like emotional girl porn did you read the books no I didn't read the books

so I went in not knowing what the story was obviously my friends had they were like you don't read the books oh my gosh this is the one I read like one and a half

and stopped because the writing was like a child yeah so like it's basically it was just it was just girl fantasy night and it was everything that I bought you know the guys

and it also I was like well this is ruined everyone's Valentine's Day because no man can compete with what he just did. He like helicopter flies her out to this party and then he like he proposes and he does all this stuff and it's just like he as a joke

puts 24 grand in her bank of care and lol and I was just like I was like ditchy the day before Valentine's I was like some guy's going to turn up with like a flower and a card and it's like mate you're not Christian Gray

where's my helicopter in 20 for grand. Expectations. Oh dear. And then also, emotionally as well, you know, like I want you.

I've got eyes for only you. And I was like, what guy says I've got eyes for only you? Really. Yeah. We all know, we got our one eye, Bucky here.

We all know that. No comment. I'm outnumbered here, guys. Help send recruit. Yeah. So 50 Shade, it was good,

you know, it was good for a good goal. Just don't take it seriously and just go for a bit of it. And just go for, to watch the other girls watch it is more of interesting. Yeah, that sounds more interesting actually.

I think I'd probably go just for that. But you find that there's a lot of people I know have been to see it like they go out for lunch with girls and then go and see that and I just find it really weird. Let's go out for lunch and porn. You know what I mean? Just like group porn. Like some emotional porn?

Yeah. Lovely way to spend the afternoon. And then we're going to like, not like our boyfriend. Manicure, pedicure and porn. Yes. That can really take up as it. Mani peddy porn day. Oh my God.

It's going to be a thing. Mani petty porn. So, yeah, what else did anybody see? I saw Lion. Also known as Train. Also known as Trane. I asked him what he's seen. He goes, train.

I was like, what? He goes, I mean, Lion, there's a train in it. I can see why, yeah. So, yeah, it's an amazing story about a guy who, he's a very young boy in an Indian slum and he loses track of his mom and his brother, etc. And he goes off. And then he's adopted and taken to Australia.

So the whole story is about him trying to figure out. like his childhood, he's now 20-something. Why is it called Lion? Oh, no, that's a spoiler. Oh, I can't say that. I can't say that, but it's Dev Patel from Slumdog Gemilina who we mentioned earlier. And he won the BAFTA.

Oh, really? Okay. And he's up for the Oscar as well. Oh my God. Bless his heart. He's up for an Oscar. Dev Patel from Skins. And Warr from Skins is up for an Oscar

and that is pretty amazing. Well, done, Dev. Yeah. And he's got really hot. Yeah. We were saying, yeah. Yeah, he's got, well. Because I've never seen so many grown men cry in a cinema.

There was only about six people in there because I went on one of those really random times. It's like early in the day. Yeah, everyone was baller. I was like, I was walking, it was actually at Westfield and Stratford. I was walking through afterwards and like everyone's looking at you. Like, why are you crying? I'm still crying. Like, I just couldn't control it.

It was madly. It was just so emotional. Yeah. Yeah, that's what happened to my dad. He said he just sobbed through the whole thing. And my mum was like, it was really embarrassing. I thought he was going to have to leave. I'm like, you can talk, mum.

You cry at everything. There's like levels of crying as well, isn't it? It's like the sob. But then there's that one where you're like, like, actual wrecking stuff shaking. Yeah, you want to just be like, let it go. I have had that.

That's what happened to me. There was a movie that I watched, what did I watch? I think it was, I love you. P.S. I love you. Oh my God, that destroys me that film. And I started to watch it, and it's about the opening sequence. It's like these people are really in love.

and he dies. Oh, no way. And he knows he's going to die because he gets this like quick terminal thing. And he leaves his wife letters and messages and stuff. So for a whole year after he's died, so he keeps popping up. And he ends every message with PS, I love you.

Isn't that Gerard? Gerard Butler. And I started watching it and I got the sobs. And to the point where my friend had to stop it and said, Jan, if you're not going to shut up, like we need to continue. Get out. Stop you crying.

Pull yourself together. Or just stop you. You know, because I was like glutteral. Oh, no. Like actual baby crying. It just really, it really hit a nerve. When it does that to you, you know, it really hits. Same with the most recent one to make me cry was in fences.

Viola Davis. I still haven't seen that yet. I'm going to see that. She made me cry in that because I just, yeah. I think the last one I proper lost my shit too was Deepwater Horizon. Oh, really? Oh my God. I was shaking in the cinema.

See, because if I was at home, I would have been like screeching. Yeah. It was that bad. but I think he probably made it worse because I couldn't cry like a child because Baz was next to me and he was going, you need to shut up. You're embarrassing me. Get up. I was like, no, no, I can't. It's just terrible. That's a really good film, but it will destroy you.

That makes me nervous about watching it. Yeah, it's a... Oh, there was a film I was watching at home. And I was, it was, I didn't, I was only kind of quite newly with my boyfriend. I didn't want to... I didn't want to... Silently, it was just streaming down my face. He sort of saw me.

He was like, are you getting? He was like, is there something you need to tell me? And you're like, oh, I've got an itchy nose. Get rid of the snot. I'm just cleansing. Fine. Right, so is there anything else that anyone's seen? On Netflix last week, they put up one of my films

that would definitely have a place in my top ten. Oh, right. Which, you know, that's quite hard. I don't think I could actually really define it, but this would definitely have a place. Do you the Top Ten? Yeah. The People versus Larry Flint.

It's quite an old film. I think it's 90s film with Woody Halston. And it's the story of Larry Flint, who is the publisher of Hustler magazine. And it tells the story from a little bit of his childhood. And then when he, you know, the conception of the magazine and then on to, you know, present day, really. It's got Edward Norton in it, Courtney Love.

I think Courtney Love got quite a few awards for that performance. Really? Yeah. And it's the best performance I've ever seen out of Ed Norton. He's so natural. when it makes me want to cry just because he's that good. And he's from Fight Club. Yeah.

Edna, right, brilliant. And it's just such a good film. Like, it's an old day, but they've just put it on Netflix. So find it and watch it. It's very good. Right. We're coming in to land for the show. So we're going to do a Facebook live in a moment.
