Let me focus on the acting first. Yeah, I know. Like, chill out. Let me just... One thing at a time, you know? You know, we can't all be like multi... Exactly. Yeah.

So, me and Wadge, we've just worked out today that we've known each other for five years... Too long. Because... Fuck on. Because we went to drama school together. And we just realised on that Facebook pop-up thing, it says five years ago today, you were doing this.

And a photo came up. We were doing our check-off plays. Yeah. At drama school. I never get that on Facebook. You know where it pops up? I don't. How the hell?

You're so lucky. Some people get it. Some people don't. I actually try to search why can't I get it? It's just a thing. I don't know. I can't get it.

Mine's awful. It's like, did you know that eight years ago today? You were dumped? And you're like, oh, this is shit. And an awful Facebook profile pics. I'm like, I've seen some of the statuses that I wrote

and some of them are just awful. It's cringe. It's like, why did I announce that? That's really grinch. Why would I say such a thing? And some of them are actually good and I've nicked them and I put them on my Twitter. Like, oh yeah, I just made that up. We're better at social media now.

I think people have got a little more hang of it. We didn't really know. We was the first sort of wave of it. So we had no idea what we're doing. Of course, because we're going to be the people in the future that's going to be like we were at the beginning of Facebook. When Facebook started, we were the first people. It was, well, it started, you know, America, but then come over here. We were the pioneer.

I remember my space. I used to have some other thing called High Five. Oh my God. Do you remember High Five? Do you remember Hi-Bbo? Yes. Veevo is the one. I didn't have it.

I had a MySpace. I was thinking about trying to find my MySpace the other day. With your friend Tom. With, oh yeah. I had my one friend Tom. No, my MySpace was awful. And I was like full on emo. Oh, was you?

Oh, yeah. I mean, I was taking a picture practically above my head. And me too. I've never seen these photos. I want to see them. It was awful. I had like the black hair with the blonde stripe. Oh, wow.

It was, it was. She's come on a long way, guys. I've changed a lot. but yeah we're going to be able to tell our kids and our grandkids that we were there at the birth of Facebook and they're going to be like whoa let's hope they don't search us because there's some outlandish shit on my own you know what I mean and also I tried to delete my Facebook a couple of years ago because I thought you know what let's just take it let's just have a bit of time out let's just go off

and I couldn't bloody delete the thing it doesn't let you Facebook yeah it lets you kind of semi-delete it but then every day it's like are you sure are you sure I took like an eight month break and then and then I went back on it Oh yeah, I remember. A little sabbatical. It was nice. It was nice some time off, but you just can't avoid it. You just got to get back on it.

Well, coming back to the show, so we've got a big pack show today. Obviously, we've got Wadge Arlie in the studio talking about his new BBC show, The Attack. We're going to announce our competition winner later on in the show. We're going to be speaking to Maido Hamada from NBC's Emerald City. And we're also going to be speaking to Olivier Aseer, who is the director of Personal Shopper, the new film with Christian Stewart. And we got coming, we've got news coming out

of like, I'm going to give you a rundown of all the movies that are going to be coming up in today's show. I'm so excited, I need to calm down. Movies, yes. Usa, USA. Take a deep breath. Very exciting news in the world of entertainment. As well as Lucy Patterson

coming in for our regular review later around about 5.30, so stay tuned. Right, so just quickly, Wadge, we're just going to like touch on the fact that you absolutely smashed it last. Was it last week? It was two weeks ago, I think. Two weeks ago on BBC, there was a new show called The Attack,

which was very controversial but also really scary program, which was a drama. Documentary. I'm going to call it a dramentary. I like that. I haven't tried it on you. I like it. I was just like drama documentary.

It's really long. It's like a moutrementry. It's like a moutrementary. And, yeah, so it's all about the hypotheticals. situation of one of the worst terrorist attacks on London, if that, if that ever happened, how that could happen?

Yeah, exactly. So who did you play? And how did that come about? So I played a guy called Ahmed. Basically, the show it follows a guy who's gone into prison for a minor drug charges and in there he's radicalised by myself, which is nice. I radicalise them. Yeah, I know. Yeah.

Hey. And then they plan to do some very bad stuff, basically. Really bad stuff. And the whole show, mixed in with sort of the documentary side of it telling you what the police are doing to counteract this sort of attack happening and the good work they're doing actually so for sure yeah and I had a very big

beard you had a massive beard normally I'm used to you being so clean-shaven and really sharp and then you were on screen with this like huge beard let me tell you four months I agree that four months literally like when I watched it I shat myself what the fuck is that what's on my face what that's happened Get that raccoon off my face.

I know, I know, it was crazy. It was a pretty impressive beard. It was good. I missed it. I missed it so much. I just went it back. There were so many men up there who just struggled to do facial hair, so they're going to be well gel. I know.

If you saw the attack on the BBC recently, oh no, wait, let's turn that around. BBC's The Attack. Yes. Then get in touch with the studio while Wadgett's here. Let's have a chat. So you can tweet us at Fubar Radio or email in Chill at Fubbaradio.com. let us know if you saw the show what you thought about it

or if you've got any questions to ask Wadge. And if you haven't, it's on BBC IPlayer for like another couple weeks so check it out. Because I saw it live and then I watched it again on IPlayer. Oh, thank you, Johanna. So nice of you.

Well, you know, my buddy. And I was so proud. So proud. Because me and you, Wad, we were actually in the final state, well, actually my very first ever scene that I had to do at drama school was with you.

Yeah, I was partners with you. And at the very end of drama school, my showcase was with you. So I was like, oh, it's my same partner, doing a thing. My baby growing up and going to the BBC. Pop it. So, I mean, how the hell did you kind of wing that? How did that come about?

You know, I was doing another project, which is going to be out in summer. I really can't talk about that one because it's super top secret. But I had a small part in it, so it's nothing big. But they asked me to grow my beard out. And it just so happens, like, within this industry, it's right timing and everything. So the audition come up for this thing.

It's literally 26-year-old guy with a big beard and he's taught, and I'm just like, if I don't get this part, I should quit acting. So I had, you know, and the part came around and it's a cool show, and it's starring Arnold O'Shang. Arnold O'Chang. I got that wrong. So many times. Arnold's a mate of mine.

He was in Brotherhood, and he has hosted back row and cheer a couple times with me. So it was so weird, I knew you, and I knew Arnold. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was really good to work with him, and we shot. It was such a quick shoot, and we had to pick up there, and they had to put a beard back on. Oh, like a fake. beard. Like on top of my

half beard. Beard extensions. Just how long it took to take the glue out. And then I had a rash on my face. I was like, Latio. But yeah, it was a wicked, wicked shoot, and we had a great director, Gabriel Range, and watch it, watch it. No, it was really good. And I've got to say, because I know you, and I know

how fun you are and stuff, but your character is dark. He is pretty much one of the scariest bad men that I've seen on TV, because he is a radical terrorist. Proper, yeah, yes. He's the kind guy that's been out there, come back, right out there, I mean, Syria and stuff. He's come back and plan to do bad stuff in Europe sort of thing. And one thing that, because I watched it on my own, and then I watched it again with a friend of mine who is a Muslim, practicing Muslim.

And she was getting very frustrated because she kept screaming at the thing going, but this is not what we believe. And I felt that the program, it was so, so good, but if you weren't sort of intelligent enough to understand that this, was just these members of the group. And this was not a representation of the whole of Islam. Of course not. Yeah, but you know what? The internet is stupid and a lot of people are very stupid. I mean, you just got educated itself on that sort of matter.

Like I knew this sort of stuff would come in. Like a lot of people saying it was fearmongering. I mean, yeah, but we're just, it's just information. It's just telling you essentially what the police are doing. And what's happening in prison, the one thing that attached me to the script was radicalization that's happening in prison. It's a big problem. So, yeah, because,

I think the whole system of prison is a bit messed up. It's not sort of there to rehabilitate anyone anymore. It's just you just chuck them in there for a couple of years. They come out. Just a box. Yeah. It was horrible when we were shooting in a prison as well. Which prison did you?

It was in Bristol Mallet. I can't remember. Shepton Mallet, that's it. Horrible. Cray twins had spent some time there. Bronson had spent some time there. It was disgusting. Like, don't go prison.

Don't do bad stuff. People just don't go prison, all right? Oh my God. Because, yeah, I was, I was, we're going to, we're going to, pop to some music for a little bit because I really want to get into this subject but I don't want to dive into this very deep important subject It's a bit serious to start off with

Do you know what I mean? It's a little bit like let's just start Let's play some music. Let's have a little bit of music kit because I have been, this week I've been obsessed with this new series called Riverdale on Netflix. Yeah I didn't have seen it too and someone was like Oh my God you got to watch it! So I did and the soundtrack is just insane so I've taken

a couple of songs from there and I'm going to play through today so a lot of today is inspired by Riverdale. My number one song of the week is called Trouble by Cage the Elephant. So we're going to have a little listen to this and we're going to come back and we're going to grill wadge a little bit more about... Kill me. Shit. I'm going to grill you about your new role.

It's bloody amazing. Thank you. Right. This is Backro and Shaw. Stay tuned. Beautiful song. Favorite song of the week. I really like that.

Isn't it lush? It's really chill. So that is from Netflix new series Riverdale, which I'm absolutely just dribbling over. So good. She literally is dribbling. I'm literally, what's there? Cover it out. Let's wipe that up.

Yeah, if you're into kind of like retro stranger things slash twilight slash kind of gossip girl, it's got the addictiveness of gossip girl. It's brilliant. It's like a teen, set in teenagers in this little town in Riverdale. One of them gets murdered. It's like a who done it. Everybody potentially could have done it.

Sounds good, man. It's so good. I'm going to go check it out, Netflix. Check it out, mate. That's my Netflix recommendation of the week. Right, if you've just joined us, this is Backro and Chill. I'm Johanna James, and I'm with my guest, Wajar Lee, who has recently been on the BBC with his new show called The Attack.

And let's rewind a little bit before you did the BBC. What stuff did you do since we went to John's school? A lot, really, a lot of TV and film, but a lot of bit parts here and there. I was involved in some bigger films like Red 2 and Good People. With Bruce Willis. I'm with Mr. Burles and good people. and I'd done some sort of American TV stuff. Again, bit parts.

This was like one of my biggest roles, so it was really cool to work on it. I've got an indie feel coming out later in the year called 90 Minutes. It's going to be good, really good British film, directed by Simon Baker, so keep your eyes on peeled on that. Well, you're busy bee, which is really cool, because you are of, what's your, what's your ethnic origin? The heritage, yeah.

This is always the sticky question. People don't know how to ask. I'm Kurdish-Iraqi originally, so I'm Kurdish-Iraki. Yeah, I have that because, My boyfriend's of Middle East and descent and people... It's Palestinian, isn't it? He's Palestinian, Lebanese, Algerian. Oh, bloody.

So I'm like, I don't know what... Just go with one place. Yeah, I'm like, he's sort of from over there. Middle East. Right, so what was my question again? She's doing this by herself, sorry, guys. I'm hosting solo today, so, you know, man down, man down. No, I forgot what more question was.

I got, oh, no, you're, wait, so you're Kurdish. So I was saying about, you're so busy. and because there's been a bit of I saw an article recently that was written on what was a Facebook article but it was essentially saying that people being cast type type cast type type type

that's the way now I love it they knew what I meant that you all knew what I meant and because I remember I was sort of bantering around at drama school and I was saying oh you'll you know I'll bet you any money you're going to play a terrorist

and it happened and it's happened more than once let me tell you I know and this article was basically saying that the role of the, they're sort of fed up of playing the role of a terrorist

and they need to be more positive Middle Eastern characters. Absolutely. In sort of across everything. I think, I agree 100%. It has to come from higher up though, you know, the execs, the producers putting the scripts out because I really do believe there's scripts there that

I've written in this way but immediately we just pigeonhole the Middle Eastern actors to sort of And it would be amazing to, I love when you get given a script and you get to do it colourblind. So they basically get the, whatever the character is. And you can literally just change it to whatever race. And it would still work.

And I like doing that with, I think it was the film Alien. So they got the script and all of the roles were gender neutral. Oh, wow. So all of the new one coming out of all, the original alien. So the original alien, the only role that they thought was going to, meant to be a boy was Ripley was the main character. But every other character has got a gender neutral name

and they just left it open in the casting. It's fantastic. Sci-fi tend to be like that. Yeah, sci-fi. A colour doesn't really tend to come in or gender at all. So yeah, that's really cool. I didn't know that. And then weirdly, so everybody just got cast just blindly, gender blindly.

Apart from the main character Ripley was then cast as a girl. The only one that they thought was going to be a boy, they then changed it because they were like Turned on his head. Singony Weaver got the NAB the main role. Amazing. Good for her. Look what happened to her.

I know. Boom. But that is something that I really want in the future to have more shows that are colourblind and also more historical shows that are colourblind as well, which is where you basically say it doesn't matter what the accent or the, we're just going to cast the role. So it doesn't matter. And they didn't, I think the BBC did that a couple of years back.

They did the Easter story from the Bible, but they did it colourblind. So Pontus Pilot was black and had a Liverpoolian accent or whatever. I mean, they got their new Robin Hood film. Jamie Fox is playing. Little John? Yeah, Little John. Yes.

You shall love. I never would have seen it like that. I mean, that's the context that we have in our head of these characters. He's going to be amazing. Yeah, yeah, we look forward to. Yeah, that looks super good. And that's got, oh, who's the top. Jamie Dornan.

Taran Edgerton. Tarant Edgerton. I love him. Edgerton, yeah, that's right. He's so. We're Kingsman. He was in Kingsman and Eddie the Eagle. Love him.

I interviewed him like a year ago and I've really fancied him and he asked for my number. Oh, go on, Joe. And then I didn't give it to him and then I tried to tweet him and then it got lost and it all just never happened. Well, you missed your chance, really. I missed my chance to Taryn. It's not going to happen again. Never again. Maybe it will.

Too late. All right. I put out on my Snapchat some questions for you guys to get involved. If you do want to tweet us in, you can tweet us at Fubbar Radio or email in Chill at Fubbaradio.com and we will shout you out any questions you want to ask or let us know what kind of films you're loving. So I asked the questions and I got a really random one which said, would you rather have a house-sized cat

or a baseball-sized elephant and why? A baseball-sized elephant or a house-cats. Or a house-sized cat. Wow. So that is like literally the size of a hat. A massive cat or a teeny tiny elephant. I think I have the elephant. It's so cute, look it.

I like big elephants. So even having a little one would be just nice. And you can, you know, you can pocket it, take it around with you. Yeah. The cat will just take up a lot of space. And can you imagine the furballs? Oh my God. And the food you have to feed it.

And the poo. Oh. At least mini elephant poos is going to be like a normal cat. It's a quick clean up, you know. So, I mean, we're such adults. We're just thinking, we're thinking already about like food, price, poo. No matter how it would be amazing to have a massive cat to ride to work. But, you know, and also would eat.

I love your ride to work. Yeah, I don't think you'll care about you much. Imagine that trying to get through the door. Oh, can you imagine? Babe, the cat flap. Uh-oh. Bigger than the house. I have to have another extra door for it, yeah.

So thank you strangely, Casey, on Snapchat for that. That was amazing. Let me just open a couple more and see if there was... Oh, I asked for favourite movies. People are saying Taken. People are saying Scarface. Scarface. There is a spoof coming out of Taken.

The guys from Scary Movie are making it, and it's called Where the Fuck is My Daughter? I love that. I think that's going to be amazing. Where the fuck is my daughter? I'm going to fucking find you. So who is your ideal celebrity man? That's come in.

Ideal celebrity man? Is that question for both of us? Let's just do it. I've always been a Brad Pitt. I loved him. A Brad Pitt fan? I love the guy, yeah. I love the hunk of a man.

What a hunk. I love the fact that he is now heavily a producer. So he's moving into making serious shit. Plan B is. Tram B. Yes, for sure. Wicked. He recently produced the Netflix series, The O-A, which is absolutely amazing.

He produced that? Oh, wow. And he's the brand-new film, The Lost City of Z. Which is coming out soon, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I just saw this week, and I'm going to review it later. It's absolutely fucking amazing. Got a few guys for you, Joe. To interview.

A few guys in there for you. Oh, yeah. A couple of men and that. Right, what's my favorite ideal celebrity man? I guess somebody that's funny. comedian-wise, I like Michael McIntyre. He gets me giggling. I like him. He's a bit camp with his delivery, but I love it.

I love it. I quite like a camp guy, actually. I think I'm quite like, if you're so, you know, strong in your own sexuality that you can go camp and be like... He can do it. He's really funny. I love his stand-ups. It's really funny. So I think Michael McIntyre would my favourite comedian, and then acting-wise, oh, who do I look up? I love a Denza Washington. He's just like, brilliant actor.

The shit, isn't he? And he just walks in such, like, aura, confidence, it's amazing. I know. Just like grace and poison. Like what I hope to be? Me too. Me too. Also, what is your favourite TV series of all time?

That's a pretty extreme, extreme question. I think that is, sounds hard, but it's quite easy. It's got to be friends. Oh, of course, isn't it? It's the easiest question. I think I've seen every episode more than 10 times, like. And it's something that you can just put on. In the background.

It makes you feel comfortable. You know when you're alone by yourself? You know when you're alone by yourself? Excessantial depression of being alone. And you've got friends. Yeah, but also there's so many series that you can put on series like two and it's almost a different show to series 10. That's the thing.

I think what they cast and they made these, they filled these characters so well over the years. You can see yourself in each one of them. Like I always think I'm a bit of Joey and Ross, you know. Yeah. Yeah, you definitely. You are a Joey. I'm a bit of a Joey.

At Jolly. I'm a moved on. I got a bit of Ross. I've got a bit of a head on me now. No, you're a Ross. Yeah, because I used to think that I was quite Phoebe. Yeah. I can see that.

But then I think, like, I think Rachel more in the terms of her watching it again and seeing her comedy. Fatal. I'm fateful. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'd have to say friends, actually. That was just stellar. Right. Another question from Cuvé on the Snapchat,

which is, what will be your favourite vacation destination? Bora, bora. Why? I don't know. It just looks really nice from the photos. And it's really expensive. I assume it's good. I would say, at the moment, I'm obsessed.

There's a place in the Bahamas where you can go and swim with pigs. Sorry? Repeat that. You get to swim with little piglets in the Caribbean Sea. Firstly, I didn't know pigs swim. Yeah. That's new information. Neither do I.

But I saw it online and I love it. Swim with pigs in the Bahamas, guys. So that's, I keep Googling it on Pinterest. If you put on good at like swimming with pigs in the Bahamas, it just looks so cute and amazing. And that's where I'm going to go on holiday. Right. So we are going to pop back to a little, another one of my Riverdale songs. Musica.

And then we're going to go into what is coming out this year. because there are some amazing films that have been announced this week. So it's very exciting times in the movie in the movie times. So, oh, I'm going to go for Sugar Sugar, this is an old one, Sugar Sugar by the Archies. But because Riverdale is quite 50s themed, they got a couple. Sugar, sugar, you'll know it.

As soon as I play it, you'll recognize. You got back, it has just gone 4.30. Friday afternoon, the weekend is about to start. The weekend. Back row and chill. It's Wajar Lee and Johanna James. I mean, you said our name's the other one way around. I like to show on it, Arlie.

I like being first. And wadge James. I got that way around. Whoops-y. I haven't been drinking yet. That's not. That's for after the show. Later.

It's St. Paddy's Day. Everyone comes as Irish today. I bet you're like today. I didn't win a green, but I'm going out of my Irish friends. I didn't. Hamas Irish and like I have a whole Irish Catholic family on that side but I I never do anything for Paddy's Day. Today's the day. Today's my, should I do it? My debut Paddy's Day. I can't believe you've got a bit of Irish and you don't go out. I've been going out since I was like, you know, little same Paddy's Day. I'm just picturing you like five. Just like off my face. Tap in the morning to you. Right. So now I've I've been itching to tell you guys sort of some up on coming news because we've got some very very exciting 2017 in

the year of film. So Disney has announced this week that Indiana Jones 5 is going ahead. So Harrison Ford is back. He's back. Amazing. He's about 102.

Who's, is he the lead? Yeah, he's playing Indiana. I heard Ryan Gosling. There's rumors that Ryan Gosling or Chris Pratt were going to sort of take the helm. But it's going to be Harrison.

But apparently Harrison Ford is back, even though he's like in his hundreds. He's badass. He could do what he wants. Of course he can. It's Indiana fucking Jones. But it's got to come out 19th of July. 2019.

I got a long wait. Long waits ago. But Stephen Spielberg is back to direct. So it's going to be quality. And I don't know anything else. They haven't released like a storyline or anything yet. But I mean, got a love in a bit of Indiana Jones. It's Indiana Jones, mate.

Been around since before I was born. Classic. Yeah, I know. It's so good. I think they were all finished before you were born. Yeah, yeah. The last one was in 89. Whoa.

Are you serious? Yeah. No, no, they done a new one. Oh, well, we don't count that one. Okay. Because that's just not good, is it? If you, I don't know, let's ask the people out there, which is your favourite, Indiana Jones and why? I like the Temple of Doom.

Yeah, that's Temple of Doom. Temple of Doom. That's the one, that was 1989, the third one. That's the one I remember the most from my childhood. Likewise, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's my favourite. Is that the one where they spent some time in Venice and then went underground? Yeah, they go.

In the library. They go down and I just remember lots of tunnels and then, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I think that one. And I think it's got the boy from the Goonies, the little young Asian boy in there. Let us know, what do you think? Are you excited about the new Indiana? Do you think they should just let it rest?

Or should we keep dragging up all of these? Spilberg and Harrison Ford, I don't know. It's a match made in cinematic heaven. Yes. But, I mean, that's what everyone's doing. So you've got Star Wars reboot. We've got Indiana Jones. Rebo, we've got Pirates in the Caribbean

5, which is about to drop in May. And it's dead men, tell no tales, although I saw, I went to the cinema last night and I saw a trailer for it and it came up Pirates of the Caribbean Salazar's Revenge. They keep changing. So I don't know if they can work out what the fuck they want to call it.

I don't even remember what half of them were called it. You just noticed one, two, three, four, five. There's the good one, Pirates the Caribbean and then there's just like the other ones, isn't it? But Pirate 5 had actually got to say that the trailer, it did make me go, oh, can't want to see this one. They got loads of cast returning from the original Pirates of the Caribbean.

I think they went back and went right. The first one worked because of this, this and this. So they got a lot of little characters from the first one are coming back on. We've got, of course, Johnny Depp, Jeffrey Rush. So a couple of facts about Pirates the Caribbean. Five. So the Black Pearl will be returning. Because earlier on in the series, the Black Pearl got shrunk into this, like, tiny little bottle.

as you do. In the fourth film they shrunk the pearl into this tiny bottle. Okay. So apparently the pearls... Yes, I remember. Yeah. It's come back to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was drunk at the time. It was Paddy's Day. 2008. I'm drunk now.

Nut, I'm joking. The black pearl is out of its little bottle cage and Jack Sparrow is back on it. So yes, original cast is coming back. The sort of theme about this one, is about the Bermuda Triangle. Yeah.

Which is, I've always been fascinated by that. Because that is... What happens there? I know, it's a real life, mind fuck, isn't it? So much stuff has gone down in that triangle. I've read about it myself. Yeah, I know, isn't it? It's really interesting.

It's like, oh, I want to go. Is it like another world or something? I should have been writing my dissertation at uni and I'm like, what's the Bermuda triangle? But so that's going to be quite fun and all sorts of upside-downy stuff. So also there's a big buzz, because you're, if you've seen the trailer, I do recommend going on to Google, YouTube and checking

out parts of the Caribbean Five trailer because there is some cool stuff going down. But also, there's a new character called Henry, who is absolutely gorgeous. I think he's the new sort of male lead. Orlando Bloom is going to be, he's returning, and there's a rumor that Kira Knightley is going to also be returning for a very

small part, but Orlando Bloom is back as Will Turner, and the rumor is that this new character is Henry Will Turner's son. And look, if you put them side by side, He looks like a mini-mee, but like a hotter 20-year-old version. It's just Orlando Bloom 20 years ago. I know, right, but hotter.

Yeah. And the theory that points to this is if you go on IMDB, all the other characters in the film have double names. So even the girl from skins, what, Kea. Kea Salario. It's a long surname. I'm not even going to attempt it. I just attempted something and I know it's not right.

Solario. I'm going to call it chaos. The ice cream. Just that literally. Here's the ice cream. Kea Salero. Even she's got a double-baron name. Apart from everyone, he's just credited it as Henry,

which is the big thing because they don't want to put Henry Turner. Otherwise, everyone's going to be there. You know you're the lead when you just got one name. It's like it. Oh, here we go. Kea Skoldoledalario. It's Italian. Is that Italian?

It's pretty much Salera. Yeah. Almost, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no offense. Lovely, Kay. I'm sure you're very good. And cast-wise, the bad, the main baddie, was going to be played by Christopher Waltz, who was in Django. The German guy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very good. In glorious bastards as well. Exactly. He's such a good baddie. And he was going to be playing a thick person called Captain Brand. But then Christopher Waltz had to pull out and then they recast it with, how do I say his name? Javier Bardem.

And so then they changed the name to Captain Salazar. to keep it like more ethnically balanced. I see. Which actually I think sounds way cooler than Captain Brand. That sounds pretty cool. If you want to be a pirate. You don't want to be called Salazar, not brand. Exactly. Branding.

And weird little factoid. So both of those guys played the latest Bond villains. They did. So it was... I thought Javier's was much better. Like that scene with Daniel Craig where he put his hand on his leg. With this sort of gay. Yeah, we was like, what is going on right now?

See, I told you when they can play camp. Yeah. recalls. So yeah, that was a little bit weird factoid. The second factoid about Javier is that his wife, in real-life wife, Penelope Cruz, was in the fourth part of the Caribbean and played Johnny Depp's wife.

So that's like keeping it in the family. Incestuous, eh? It's been incestuous, but that's what happens. You know what I mean? And a little factoid as well, they filmed it in Australia. I think they must have got some sort of budget tax cut to film everything in Australia. So even though it's Part of the Caribbean, it's in Osland. And to stop people from getting onto set and fans,

they made the whole film under the code name, Herschel. So they, the film. H-E-R-S-S. What was they going for? Some German? I don't know. Obviously people are like, what's that? I don't even care. Herschel. So it worked and they kept people off the set.

But that was my little factoid from Pirates of the Caribbean Five. I'm going to play you a little bit of a trailer, but do go and see the visual. but this is a little bit of a slice of what you can get in cinema. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Pirates had infected the disease for generations. So I vow to eliminate them all. There was this boy.

Follow him in. Rage. He's searching for her. A girl. I have heard stories of mighty Spanish captain. His son had been killed. Thousands of men. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Pirates. Boom. Sounds wicked. Sounds wicked. Spooky, man. Yeah, a little bit spook-stery. It's getting darker and darker these films. You remember the first one?

It was just like, it was a bit weird, but, you know. Yeah. I think the original Pirates of the Caribbean was one of the only films. I saw it, I think, four times at the cinema. I was, like, 13 or something at the time. And I remember watching the trailer again and again and again, and I was absolutely obsessed. I really... How did you get in a cinema?

I'm sure it was a 15. No, I think it's 12. Maybe I wore a pad. It was really good, though. But I remember going to see it, and I just absolutely loved it. Because I love sort of, what is it? It's a fantasy movie, action adventure fantasy, with period costumes and corsets and all that.

And I really wanted, I really wanted to play Lesbosuan. It was wicked. I was like, come on. You wanted to be that part so bad. You can do it. You can do it still. I'm sure the franchise will go on and there'll be another character. Well, I don't think it's going to stop, you know.

They make too much money. I know, part of the Caribbean, 59 is going to be, you know, grandchildren. The great, great, great, great, great. But then they're going to run out of pirate times, and it will just come right up to the modern day. They do, more original films do need to be invested in, I think, as well. No.

We was talking about it. Like, there's that new film that just come out, get out. Oh, yeah. Proper original, and it's done so well in a box office. It just shows, you know, original films can make a lot of money. And that was the, I saw something about that, which was it was the first, movie to be penned by a black writer

that has grossed over 100 million on the debut and I was like, yes, get in there. That's happening, it's good. So that was really, really, really cool. So, yeah, I think everything's starting to open out a little bit more and get a little bit more accessible. I do like the sort of the franchises going on,

but it comes to a point where you just got to stop. I'm not sure about this, Paris Caribbean. We'll see, we'll see. We'll give it a go. Sounds good. Give it a little looking. Right, so let me just see in my little entertainment news. We should probably let, you know, what's going on in the world of the entertainment.

So Mission Impossible Six. Yeah. It's underway. It's shooting. Henry Carville's been confirmed. Was you just about saying? Yeah. I saw that today.

I was like, cool. Yeah. And I thought it was quite interesting the way that they announced it. So obviously, they must have prearranged that he was going to be in it, obviously, because there's so much more that needs to be going on. But the director put a picture on Instagram and tagged Henry in it and said, hey, do you fancy a role in the movie? And he was like, hey, yeah, all right. On one condition, I can really fly.

Because obviously it's Superman, it doesn't get you really fly? So he goes, yeah, okay, we'll get you, like, stand it up. You can really fly. So they made it look like it was this little, like, casual exchange on Instagram, but we all know it wasn't. Yeah, stay planned this for months. The internet is a lie, everyone. The internet is a lie. which is so that's cool

so Henry Cavill okay Superman is going to be a Mission Impossible 6 but we don't know what he's going to play yet yeah they still got a lot of the cast from the last one which I felt was quite good I watched the other day I do like a Mission Impossible

Impossible but again Mission Impossible 6 Indiana Jones 5 is like they're literally just they're trying to get to double figures we can make it to 10 has there ever been a 10? Police Academy Oh yeah I guess

Police Academy just went on and on I don't know Police Academy 7 which one is this I don't know The land before time. That also went on and on and on and on. Oh my gosh. It's like a little gem from the 80s.

It's Stephen Spielberg's animation. Okay. And it's about these little group of dinosaurs that get, oh, it's actually horrific. I can't actually watch it anymore because it is so, it makes me cry. It's this little group of baby dinosaurs that get in the, it's like the end of the dinosaur. Yeah, with all the meteorites hitting.

Yeah. And they get split up from their moms and dads, and they get told that if in doubt, They've got to head to the Great Valley. This is where all the dinosaurs are going to, like, cluster because that's where there's food. And it's like they go on this amazing adventure together. Although me and my brother used to argue because I thought it was called the Great Valley. And he thought it was the Green Valley.

So we just argued. Did you both get it wrong? What was actually? I don't know, because someone, like, correct me on this. I thought it was got to get to the Great Valley. And he said, it's the Green Valley. But they had this really strong American accent, so we couldn't work it up. But that had about, it was number one.

and then it went on to have like, Pirates the Caribbean. Land before time. Land before time. 12 or 13 or something. I'll go check it up. Right. Glastonbury,

Ed Sheeran has been just announced. He's kind of headline. Basically, you know all my fucking news. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't.

I'll just leave. Bye. It's been great, guys. It's been a great six months. He'll be perfect, though. I mean, there should be no one else really doing it.

He's the biggest sort of. in the world right now. Last year, I was at Isler White Festival, and there was in the BBC tent. There was not too many people in there. There was this young sort of folk singer in there who I had interviewed earlier in the year. I knew him a little bit, so I went to go see him.

And everyone was just sitting there kind of in the sun, swaning themselves, being, you know, interested, but not really interested. And then suddenly, for the last song, he was like, oh, I'm going to get my mate out to come sing with me. And Ed Shearin just bossed out of nowhere. And suddenly, I've never seen a stampede in my life. This is the closest thing.

There was women, children's shoes, everything, screaming. Everyone's running to the front. And Ed Shearing did like a duet with this guy. Boy done well. Boy done well. And so I can only imagine what Gastropry is going to be like. It's going to be epic. Right, let's see if you know.

Okay, this is going to be like a test. Let's see if you know my news. Eddie Redmayne is playing an animation character. You know, Ardman Studios? You do Chicken Run. and Gromit. They've got a new film out called Early Man, which is about a little caveman called Doug

played by Eddie Redmayne. And it's also got Tom Hiddleston and Amazing Williams. And that's been announced today. But at the moment, Eddie is filming Fantastic Beasts 9, 12 and 22 or whatever they're doing. Did you know that? I didn't know that. Great. That's some new news there. 1 15 love to me.

Yes. No, I really won the first game. we've got potential matrix reboot I heard I'm not sure about that I know me knew that's the one thing I'm like no I just liked where it was that I mean I love I like Keanu and I like John Wick I loved yeah I love what Wachowski's did with that as well it's just so good

and just leave that there you don't touch it leave it B Matrix 9 please no please no and finally a big big bang theory I do I love big bank theory I love Sheldon big well you'll love this then the Big Bang Theory spin-off has been confirmed. And it's called...

A spin-off? Yeah. It's called Young Sheldon. And it's going to be all about young Sheldon growing up in like... Is he going to play it? What's his name? The actor?

No, they've got a young 9-year-old who at the moment is in that pretty... No, little big lies. Okay, that series. Yeah. And they said it's going to be like Malcolm in the middle style. Okay, that would be wicked. With this young...

Because his mom's proper Christian and he's the airside. That'd be really funny. So I think I'm quite excited to see that. I'm actually excited. I don't know when that's going to come out well I'll have to keep you posted but pretty pretty cool right so I think we are

How many words are there? Gives of the P. P. P. P. P.

C. Patrol. Yeah. Of course. Pee. Brilliant. Right. So you do Facebook comedy. Yeah. Stuff. And you're sort of big on Instagram as well.

Instagram's kind of like only grown in the last like three, four months. But I'm glad. I'm not complaining. That must be weird. Because I remember when I first got Instagram and I had about 10 people follow me me or whatever. Is it weird to to have realized that so many people are looking at you.

Yeah, the funniest thing happened to me so people will say to me, how did you get recognised? And I'm like, no, because I'm not anyone. I went into Nando's other day. And this girl literally came up to me, ran up to me, asked me for a picture, and I was like, so embarrassed. I was like, oh, why do you need a picture of me, babe? Bless her.

No, that's cool. It was cool. It was nice. It's weird when you're Famo on the internet because so many people know your face because you just pop up regularly in their timeline but they don't necessarily know who you are. You're the girl of the internet. Oh, you're the girl of the internet?

You don't know whether to say yes or not because you don't know what they are. Which one? Pine Hub. No, not the one of porn her. Not the cash me outside girl. No. You know what? The cash me outside girl has now got 8 million followers.

I think she's got more. And she's seen something she's earning like $140,000 a month. I can't even. Most people wouldn't. They wouldn't earn 100. $40,000 in their life. Yeah, and she's young.

She's 13. Is she 13? She's 13, but she looks like 20. She's, I know, apparently she's... 13 year old would not be looking like her. Because she's got, her 14th birthday's coming up. But, I mean, when I was 13, I was in like braces, dungarees. Trying like blue eyeliner.

I know. Like horrendous stages. And now, now they're looking like Instagram models. That is a thing. I've noticed. Kids today look so trendy and cool. Yeah, that wasn't me. And good looking.

And honestly, it was awful. Like recently on Facebook, people tagged me in a load of, we went on a school journey when I was about 15 and we found somebody obviously took like a kind of

Kodak developer camera. Oh God, I love those. And they found them, they put them on Facebook and it's like, Jesus, we didn't know what eyebrow pencil was. Yeah, someone sent me a picture today actually. I'll show you after it.

It's horrendous. And it was only four years ago and I'm thinking, can you delete that? That's the thing. We're such a culture of putting everything online. Yeah.

And it's going to stay online forever, potentially. We'll be looking back at her videos in like five years thinking, what are those? What are we? Yeah, what have we now? Actually, Emma Watson was in the news recently because she had some photos stolen and then they were leaked.

Leaked around the internet. Apparently they're not nudes, but they are of a private swimming costume fitting. I didn't know you could fit a swimming costume. Either like it's on or it doesn't, you know. I didn't know there was a fitting. They're all kind of like straight. actually aren't they don't really but apparently she's suing um which is I don't know

who do you sue the thing with the internet is you sue everyone that shares it or do you sue the how do they get leaked though is it publicity yeah half of it I feel like it is somebody must have had access and somebody's gone I'm gonna leak these though yeah so makes you from Apple yeah so it makes you think maybe now that you're getting more famo and famo just be careful about where you send your nudes and stuff because oh my God Can you imagine? I haven't sent any such fine. Oh, I'm joking.

I was like, Pinocchio! Yeah, no, I'll be fine. I don't know. What do you guys think? Are you into a nude? Is it safe to send a nude anymore? Yeah, I don't think it's safe. Does anyone trust anyone?

That's the real, do you trust someone off to send them a picture of your badge? If a guy, even, I mean, I'm in a relationship, so it's fine. But even if a guy asked me for one, I think it's just like, why? Why? I mean, that is a very weird concept. It's now completely normal. Yeah, it is normal. I'd like a photo of your genitals, please.

Yeah, if it was the other way around, though, I don't think they would do it. I think girls are more kind of open to doing it. Really? Yeah. I don't know. My Snapchat's full of dick pics. Oh, see, mine's closed because I can't call it.

No, I mean, not the ones that I've found, but, like, people just send me dick pics. It's full. I really. I think it comes up blurred, and you're like, in the messages you've got to accept, and I can tell on the blur it's just a big dick. A blurry dick.

So I don't know, what do we think about this? Maybe we should do a Twitter poll, whether we not we agree with new nudes or not, because there was a theory that because of the backlash of revenge porn and people leaking the nudes and stuff, that it's actually going to deter people from actually sending them in the first place. So in a couple of years, it's not going to be all the rage because people are going to really understand how much it can backfire on you.

Yeah. It can definitely backfire. Because, I mean, I'm thinking back to when, when it's like smart phones when you've done it. Well when smartphones were first ever, ever, ever, ever out. And I, you know, one of my first boyfriends. I think we, we were messing around.

We had a couple of like naughty picks or whatever. Nothing too, nothing too bad. But then obviously we broke up and I think we, I had them on like, this is how old it was, I had them on a CD. Oh no. A CD of photos. And then I broke up with him. Did you ask for it back?

No, I forgot. And then now, years later, I was like, where is that CD? Somewhere in the world, there is a CD. You're going to find them on Facebook soon. I don't know. And the same with my phone. So I had my first ever smartphone and my phone got stolen at a gig. And then it was when I realized I went, my part of it.

Yeah. So I think after that. And they didn't lock in those days, did they? I know. We didn't have pins. It was just, what a time to be alive. Yeah. So basically, we're fucked.

I know. And the new generation isn't. They all know how to like cover themselves and whatnot. I don't know. If anyone got any horror stories about sending nudes gone wrong, please let us know. We'll keep you anonymous

or we'll shout you out, whatever. Tweet us at Fubar Radio or email into the show, chill at Fubbaradio.com. Do you have any disaster? Nude tweeting. Disasters. Please let us know.

But don't send us nude pics. No, but no no dick pickies today. There's only so many penises one can look at before one throws up. We're going to pop to another song from Riverdale. I've been obsessed with this Netflix series called Riverdale.

You will love it. My mate recommended it to me and I I've not had a show where I've actually been glued. Oh really? And they're releasing it one a week Netflix. Because that's so annoying. So you can't binge on it. On a Wednesday? It's on a Friday. Tonight! Yes!

They do that with feathers as well. It's really annoying. But it's so good and it's set in this time fictional town of Riverdale. And the comic books was originally in the 50s, but they've modernised it to the modern day, but everyone's still 50s style, so the girls all have, like, perfect, right up your street. Red lipstick, curly hair, they go to the diner,

but it's all modern day. It's about a murder. One of the twins, one half of a twins get murdered, and it's a bit of like a hood on it, and everybody potentially could have shot this boy. Very cool, but the soundtrack is insane, so I'm going to play Gold by Kiara. This is Bachar and Chill. It's Brooklyn and Johanna Jay. So sexy. What a sexy track.

That is. Spacker and Chill. I'm joined today by Brooklyn. Social media starlet, says you. Half a million. Sorry about that. How many little followers have you got now on your... 28,000.

That's mental. On your Facebook. And just over 100 on Insta. Oh, that's crazy. I know. Yeah, well, that's how we know each other. We met through mutual love of being stupid online. which is cool.

We've got I asked the people earlier in the show to tweet in their favourite movie or questions so we've got Jacob Osterhuez who says favourite movie has to be Fight Club

It's the best So what would you say your favourite movie is Brooke? Oh there's too many I'm like really soppy In the mic In the mic I'm really soppy I like Pearl Harbor

Oh my gosh Because of Josh Hartnett Oh is he your fav? He's one of the most I saw Pearl Harbor but I saw it originally when I was whenever my head I was too young so I didn't understand it yeah I then watched it again later and then you understand yeah the depth of it yeah yeah there's loads of movies that like any of Denzel Washington oh yeah

Fight Club is amazing as well fight club is good as well I was late to the party on that I didn't see that for ages yeah why did you miss that well I tend to I had this thing where I got put off if films were an 18 certificate right Even though I was well over 18, I still look at an 18 and go, oh, not for me. That's a naughty one. No, that's a lie, because I went to see 50 shades of grey with you. I didn't know that was an 18.

You did when you started watching it. I was shocked. Oh my God. I was shocked. It was an experience going to see 50 shades of grey with Brooke because you kept making noises all the way through. The thing is, I didn't even really fancy him until that film. Yeah. And then it kind of all went.

I mean it wasn't just you the cinema was all women entirely there was not one guy there wasn't one man in there and as soon as he came onto the screen there was like audible oh my god top of the girl we're gonna do me now and stuff like that

and just all the way through the film it was a beautiful little cheese fest yeah it was good you haven't seen 50 shades check it out you know it's like soft porn do you know what he pretty much is yeah it is the second one is yeah kind of preferred the second one to the first one

There was things in there, I didn't know what they were doing. Oh, really? Yeah. A pole thing, do you remember? Oh, we should tie the legs together? Yeah, and he just went and flipped, and the whole body went round. I mean, there is many an accident to be happened when you start bringing poles and stuff. Don't try that at home.

Into the bedroom. Actually, a little, I think I should maybe pass on a bit of knowledge. My boyfriend tagged me in a link on Facebook today. All about the safeties of choking. Oh. So if you are into. that if that's what you want to get up to on your Friday night and your back row and chill Netflix and choke

whatever I need to see that it was like the aim of choking is not to restrict the esophagus is not to press down on the bit where you breathe or the sides it's to squeeze the sides exactly because that's where you've got the arteries if you apply pressure to the arteries

with the shape of a V then it will just bring lightheadedness to your partner rather than actually killing them okay so that's a good point then I just thought I bring it up as we were on kinky movie sex. Cool. You know, safe sex,

everybody. Safe sex. Maybe we can do a segment every week. Brooke and Johanna, safe sex tips. Amazing. We are coming up soon in the show. We're going to be speaking to one of the actors who is in the NBC show Emerald City.

I don't know if any of you guys are fans out there. It's called Maido Hamada. And we're going to be trying to link up with him in America. I'm not sure if he's quite online yet, we're going to be seeing if technology can link us all the way over to, I'm assuming, L.A. That's where he is. Always.

Have you been to L.A.? No. Have you never been? No. I know, but I'm going this year. Okay, yeah, for sure. I want to go for like a month. It is a, it's a such, it's a complete world shift, L.A.

Because I'm a London girl. And London is kind of, it's sort of dirty and gritty and fresh and fashion and stuff. LA is just so alien. Really? It's very clean. Is it? Yeah. I imagine it to not be.

No. Well, I think there's... The different parts of L.A. But it's also very far apart in London. You can sort of walk almost anywhere where you get buses, choose, trains. You can't. You have to drive everywhere in L.A.

So when the first time I went to L.A., yeah, now I Uber, the first time I hired a car, and that was a bad mistake. That's a mistake. I was driving everywhere on my own through the spaghetti junction. How did you call? One time I couldn't get off the highway.

I couldn't... Because you have to turn on the opposite side to what you do in England. So I couldn't get over in time. I missed the junction three times. I had to go round and I was crying by the end of it. Like, I just want to get off. I would crash. It's bad enough in London.

Yeah. I'm learning to drive now and it's like... And oh, are you learning? I'm a bit scary. Yeah, so definitely my tips for L.A. would be Uber. If you like healthy eating, amazing because everywhere is just obsessed with salads and kale and working out.

They're big, big... They're really into their looks over there. So I felt soaming in. When I went to LA. Oh my God, I was hanging out with these models. And everyone is super thin. Oh, God, no.

Go anywhere else in America. I like a burger me. I don't mind a bit of beef. I was looking for a burger and I couldn't find anything that wasn't covered in cheer seeds or something. Oh, really? It was quite hard.

It's not for me. Not for me. Well, let's see if my dough is coming in. Me dough. Sorry, that was embarrassing. Let's see if we get him on the dough. line. Mido, are you with us? He's on the line. Thank you. So sorry.

How are you? You don't like chaya seeds. Is that correct? Well, we just like burgers. I don't think I can be having this conversation with you now if you don't like chias seeds. I think there's too much going against us now. Yeah, so okay, so are you into the whole healthy eating thing? Well, and, you know, it depends. It depends on what's healthy. I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't like to eat processed foods, but I don't like to overdo it either. For sure. Balance. It's all about balance.

It is. It's all about the balance. And where in America are we connecting with you now? Are you, which side are you on? In L.A. You're in L.A. We knew you would be. Brilliant. I'm probably, yeah. I'm not having a chaya smoothie or anything, chaya muffin. I'm actually quite good.

I just had a normal, normal caffeine-laced coffee, and it's making me jiddery. It's probably not good for me. You're buzzed. Friday night, you're buzzing. Well, thank you so much for coming on the show. We love to talk to people all about things, entertainment, and your show, Emerald City on NBC. Just tell all the fans over here,

sort of how you got involved with that, and what's the backstory to that? I love the behind the scenes. Oh, sure, sure, sure. So I auditioned originally for a different part within the show, And then they came back to me and asked me would I audition for Aman. And I said, yeah, sure, I'd love to. And then I read all the scripts and just kind of fell in love with the show.

And for those of you who don't know, Emerald City is a reimagining of the Wizard of Oz. It's based on the Frank Baum novels. He wrote 14 books. And so we're basically a new take on what people remember from the Wizard of Oz. It's a completely different take on it. It's very kind of game of thronesy, if you want, in terms of, you know, lots of knights and armor and sword fighting and all that kind of stuff. But we have witches, and of course, there's a tin man, and there's a lion, and there's a scarecrow. So all the familiar characters that you still remember are still in the show, except completely different.

And everybody becomes those characters in our show rather than being those characters from the get-go. And do you remember, because obviously everyone, I have such childhood memories of the original Wizard of Oz. Do you remember the second, the return to Oz film? No, I don't. Did anyone see that? I really remember. The thing that kind of stuck out with me is I watched The Wiz, you know, the Michael Jackson one, where he played the scarecrow in the late 70s.

That was really my childhood memory. I think, you know, I caught Wizard of Oz maybe once or twice on TV on a Christmas special or something like that. But it was more The Wiz that had an impact on me than the other movies. Brilliant. And so you are also a bit of a, you've spent some time in England, haven't you? You trained over here? I have spent a lot of time in England, yes. I actually went to drama school in the UK. And then when I started my career, my drama school was in Oxford, not affiliated with the university, but independent of that. So I went to drama school in Oxford. And then I got signed by my agent and moved to London and then started doing plays in the UK. So the first five years, I've been. It plays in the West End and at the Royal Court and for the RSC and stuff like that. And until then finally somebody decided to put me in front of camera, which I thought was a really good idea by that time.

So about time. But, yes, I spent a lot of time in the UK. And so that's okay. So you transitioned from, because, I mean, having like a stellar career on the theatre, it's so different to being on screen. Did you have much training in film and camera? Because did your drama school give you any training for that? No.

No, sadly not. I think we were still, probably, it's probably changing now, but when I went, it was still, you know, you were prepared to go for the stage, your body and your voice and working on Shakespeare and the text and all that. It was very much a stage school as such. We were trained to go to theater and not really trained for film and TV at the time. But I think, you know, like everything, you really don't really learn much about acting. until you're actually doing it professionally and you're learning from the other pros that are doing it or have been doing it for so long.

So I was very fortunate to be able to have done the theater in the beginning and to be able to watch all these amazing actors and watch their process and learn from them and ask them questions. And the beautiful thing about the UK's and the rich history of theater that you guys have is that you really start to make bonds with these older actors who are really generous in sharing. their information.

Well, it is a hard transition because, I mean, even now, I went to drama school in London as well, and they didn't prepare us really well at all. So going out and doing bits of TV and film, you are just sort of winging it and pretending. So you're acting on top of your acting.

Sweetheart, I'm still winging in now. We're all just winging. Oh, am I not allowed to Chris? Oh, no, you can. This is Fubar Radio. I can. I can say bollocks. Oh, I haven't said bollocks in so long.

I miss saying that. Oh, that is a proper British swear word right there. That's brilliant. It is indeed. Bollock. I mean, I'm going to pretend that it's Shakespearean. I think he probably invented that one. I'm pretty sure he was probably one of the better cursors of his day.

I'm sure he was. So is Emerald City what you're concentrating on at the moment? Have you got anything in the sort of near future as well? or was well no I I'm we finished shooting Emerald City in in June last year

so right now since November I'm filming a new show called counterpart for a network here called Stars and that's a really great show and I'm shooting a whole season of that I should be finished by that by

by June I think and yeah it's a it's a wonderful show it's about the world has been duplicated in some kind of seismic events and there's a cold war going on between those two worlds. So that's the new show I'm doing. But yeah. That's got J.K. Simmons in it. Is that right? That's correct. Yeah. Yeah. Brilliant. What's exciting. Well, thank you so much for chatting with us today. And if any of our listeners

out there, want to check out Emerald City. You know, definitely. Check out Emerald City. It's a fantastic show and you'll really enjoy it. And it'll be, it's completely different to what you're you guys remember what Oz looks like. It's dark, it's gritty, it's beautiful, it's got fantastic scenery and sets and great actors in it. And it's a really fun story, so go check it out. Yeah, it looks absolutely amazing.

Game of Thrones slash Wizard of Oz on there. Brilliant. Well, enjoy your weekend and your chia tea seed latte. Yes, thank you. Thank you. All right. Are you guys coming out there? Are you guys coming out to Lai anytime?

Yeah, we want to, for sure. We want to go out and make a... We do a lot of sort of... Well, Vine's dead now, but we do Facebook comedy videos, so we want to come out and film a bunch of them out in L.A. Because that's the place to do it. That is the place to do it. And plus the sun is always shining, and you know,

you know, the British weather. It's not a guarantee. It's shit, isn't it? Shit. It's so... Listen, that's why I left. Because of the weather. It's so depressing.

I don't blame you. Yeah, yeah. I lived in the UK. for I think a total of about 10 years and I think in that time I don't recall having two weeks of sun. Did you turn into Caspar?

Wow, yeah, you must have been pale as well yeah but hey, but hey there's so many great things to do in London you don't miss the sun after a while. Yeah, we're busy all right, we'll have a good weekend. Thanks so much mate, thank you. Thank you. Take care, bye bye. Bye.

Oh, what's sweetie. He's cute. He's cute. Why he is cute look at that picture he's he's foie ha ha no really from the wizard of Oz my first dog was called total and really based on that total yeah I used to want to be Dorothy oh yeah do you know Wizard of Oz she was supposed to be 10 years old Dorothy the character but Judy Garland was 16 when she played her and she sprouted breasts yeah she did have breasts they were they were constantly trying to bandage her boobs down and they tried to design the costume with frills to make her look as flat chest and as young as possible, but it was just

very obvious that she was, she didn't look to in, that she was like a late teenager. Anyway, we've got Lucy Patterson coming up for some film reviews. We're also going to be speaking to the director of Personal Shopper. We're going to pop to some music. This is background. This is background. Oh, I'm going to play a bit of, it's my fave. Arctic Monkeys, actually. And then we're going to end with the, but Arctic Monkeys. This is also from Riverdale, as every other song so far has been on the show. This is Back Row and Chill. Back Row and Jill with Johanna James on Fubar Radio.

Welcome back. I'm joined today by director Olivia Assayas. Is that? Brilliant, thank you. And we're going to be talking about his new movie Personal Shopper, which stars Christian Stewart. And I went to see a screening week before last. So I've already seen the movie.

So if you could just tell us a little bit about the movie, and how it came about, how you started to make it? Well, you know, it's the question you always get, but ultimately it's the toughest, because when you write a film, it's like when you write a novel, you know, you start small, you start from a character, an image, whatever, you know, and it kind of grows into a fully bloomed story.

So it's, I think here it was pretty much the character of Maureen. I had both the character, meaning a young girl in Paris, a foreigner, you know, she has no friends there, she has no roots there, she's there because that's where her brother used to live and her brother just died. And just to make a living, she has to do a very stupid job,

which involves just driving, you know, carrying bags from point A to point B, really, you know. Yeah, and so the premise of the story for anyone who hasn't It's a young girl in Paris and her brother dies. And so it's a bit, she's also a medium, isn't she? So she can, well, she's trying to contact the other side. Yeah, she's a medium, but she's not too sure about that. She has her doubts.

I mean, it's like it's mostly her brother who was into that. So yes, she's trying to, because, you know, they made this off, like, because, you know, they all have some heart problems. They both have hard problems. So they knew they were not going to live too long. Yeah. They made a promise that the first one goes would try to get in touch with the other. But he was really the one who believed in that stuff.

And she's left and she has major doubts. She's not so sure she will get a sign. And so is it a French film? Well, you know, it's the best of both world or the worst of both worlds. In a sense that, you know, I suppose that for the French, we are foreign film because we are, we are, we are an English-speaking film. So in that sense, we don't get any subsidies or help in France. And for the rest of the world, we're basically in the French film. So we don't get that much financing.

Yeah, it's a bit of a hybrid. Because I was wondering whether, because I heard about Kristen was doing a sort of a French film. I thought, oh, is she going to speak French? Is it going to be half and half? I love it when we sort of pair with France and do half and half films. It's brilliant. And just about the casting as well, because you've got some fantastic actors in there. Was Kristen always in mind?

Yeah, Kristen was, I suppose, part of the inspiration for the film. I mean, I had just worked with her. And, you know, if I was telling the story of a young American girl, my point of reference would be her, yeah. To be her, you know. So it's written for her. and I think it's a movie where she's really pretty much center stage. So I think that her artistic input is vital in this film.

I think there's a lot of whatever this film is that it owes to Kristen. And with the storytelling of this film, it was probably the most unusual film I've seen this year in terms of I couldn't see where it was going to go. and it felt like almost sort of two or three different styles of film all wrapped up together. It was with the sort of supernatural side, I was like, is it a horror thriller? And then with the sort of, then it turned into more of a drama with the, with Kristen and the mystery guy on the phone. Which was, so it kept sort of shifting between.

You know, I feel, you know, I, I. It's both part of the fun when you're writing, and it's hopefully also part of the fun when you're watching the film. I think that this ultimately could be, is a character study. It's a coming of age story, and it can be told in a million ways. We know we follow someone going through some kind of major crisis in her life. But I think there are ways to share that with an audience and try to make the film fun.

You know, in a sense that, you know, it twists and turns in weird ways, but the idea is to keep you constantly surprised. I think that's what storytelling is about. And I'm getting also bored with, also both as a writer and as a viewer with movies that kind of follow, you know, like by the dots. Yeah, the same. So you're safe, you know where, you know, it's getting a pretty dull cinematic experience.

I'm more fond of more challenging for viewing experiences. No, for sure. And definitely, if you're looking for something a little bit outside the box and a little bit different to your usual... Are you having an English tea? No, I'm having an... American coffee.

And you film location on Paris, in Paris. And also in London. Because I saw that you got the Eurostar. And that's a journey that. I've made many, many times. Logistically, how was it easy to film on the Eurostar? No, no, no, it was not.

When I wrote the scene, I said, oh, this is really simple. Yeah, on the train. It turned into a nightmare, really. I mean, it was unbelievably complicated, because basically you're not allowed to shoot on the Eurostar. So we had to, we ended up locating an old Eurostar carriage that was parked. I'm not sure where in France. And so we ended up, of course, not being, we were not able to shoot on a moving train.

We were shooting on a train in a parking and in the garage. And so that was not easy. That was very difficult, actually. Then we had to go through special effect, to insert whatever is going on on the other side of the windows. Then we were not allowed to shoot in the French station. I mean in the French Eurostar zone. Yeah, yeah. In the Gardiner.

But they allowed us to shoot in London. So we ended up, so we could not shoot the French lounge, and we ended up shooting both lounges because, you know, she travels. Yeah, sure. So she stops in the Paris lounge and on the way back she's in the London lounge, but ultimately it's the two different levels of the London lounge. It's the same lounge. Amazing.

Some stuff we absolutely had no access to meaning. Like when she boards the train in Paris, we were not allowed access, but we were allowed access in London. So again, we had to, I don't know, it's, it's, it's, and both on the British and French side, we were not allowed to film the passport control. Oh, of course. And the, and the, and the metal detector area. So we had to recreate that in the Czech Republic. I don't know. You know, this whole thing that looks very simple and fluid

was just a nightmare. Oh, that's crazy. Wow, that's amazing. Because I remember just seeing, I'm like, oh, they're filming on the Eurostar. I had no idea that you could film on the Eurostar. Yeah, you actually can't. You were right.

Well, well done. You pieced it together really, really, really well. So what's sort of next for you? Do you have... Well, I have different projects. I have one movie that I was supposed to make two years ago in a US. like a true crime and you know it's a screenplay I wrote

okay so like three years ago now but I'm still pretty fond of it I think it's you know it's exciting it's a mafia story in the late 70s but it's expensive so we're not sure we I mean we have a hot time putting it together to do that way

so I'm writing a couple of other screenplays and so I will decide what's the the one we'll put on fast track. Okay. And just to go in full circle round to the beginning, how did you start out for any young filmmakers out there who want to know how to get involved?

Well, I didn't go through film school, if that's part of the question. I mean, for some reason, I hated school. And when I started making films, it's kind of interesting because when I started making film, which is maybe a long time ago, but ultimately not that long, it's, filmmaking was for,

was not for brilliant students. It was for the more artistic, more confused and messy ones, you know? And now it's become the opposite. Now it's like the best students want to become filmmakers or something like that. I don't know how it is in England,

but that's the way it is in France. So, no, I studied literature, I studied painting because I was more of a draw, drawf's painter, whatever that. And I approached filmmaking by working as a trainee on productions, on various productions. I did whatever stupid job I could get, you know, so I can relate to Kristen being a personal shopper in my film. Because, you know, when you're very young at that point, and you want to get into, whatever has been

attracts you you you you do silly job so I you know but I worked a lot in England as a as a trainee in the editing rooms for Superman

which was an interesting job a weird interesting job I work also as a third assistant on a couple of English American movies shot in Europe so I was an assistant

editor right But then I basically started making my own short terms. And, which is also specific, I suppose, to French culture, I wrote about filmmaking. Okay. In the magazine Caillard de Cinema, which was the Nouvelle Vague, historical magazine. And I think that I learned a lot there. I mean, that was more of my films. That was my film school.

Brilliant. Okay. So basically, in England, we call it when you're grinding, it means you kind of, you're working so hard, do whatever you can to get to where you go. So you basically, you grind, you work the grind. Yeah, yeah, I get that. You got your fingers and all the pies. Brilliant. Well, thank you so, so much.

It was a blessing. And all the best, you're going to be, are you popping on the Eurostar now? Yes, I am. You're whizzing back to Paris. So thanks so much for giving us the time. That was brilliant. Thank you.

Thank you. He was so cute. Oh, what a cute little French guy. We've seen a wee. So that was about the movie personal shopper, Kristen Stewart. Can I just say, she shaved her entire head, ladies. Really?

Yeah, I've just seen her all. that she's doing all the press for personal shopper and she's done a proper buzz cut everything off. For a reason or just maybe a role? Had enough. But she's doing a Britney. She's buzzed it off but she's dyed it proxide blonde and weirdly...

Surely it's a role then. I think she looks better. Really? She actually, one of the few people who looks amazing like Natalie Portman does. Like Amber Rose looks amazing and she's glamour but she actually... She does. I don't know if I could shave my head. Even for a roll. Absolutely not. No way. Maybe for a roll. If Spielberg asked, I'd be like.

look, mate. Actually, yeah, I think there's levels to this. To be fair, I just would end, ever. Stranger Things, 11. I know. If you just joined us now, it's Backer and Chill. I'm joined by Brooklyn and also Lutie Patterson. Hi, aye, aye. Hi. Having a ladies. A lady's

day. Lovely. Lady's Day. On Fuba. Right, so we can just, let's fly in with some film reviews. We're going to be telling you what's hot and what is shit. So, I think, Lucy, if you go first, because you've seen the most up-to-date.

I have. Oh, I saw Beauty and the Beast today. So jealous. And do you know what? I was fighting back tears the entire time because it was that overwhelming. I'm emotional anyway. Like, I cry everything. So do I. But I get so overwhelmed by certain things. And as soon as I heard the music swell, you know, and the story at the beginning of the enchantress and things like that.

Yes, I don't because I will cry now. Honestly, I will sit here and cry now. Summit. It was just that good. I mean, I went on my own, which didn't help, but I was surrounded about all these people just sniveling like an idiot.

Anyway, I mean, that tells you in itself how amazing the film it is, you know, that I have nothing to complain about, and I will find something in any film that I watch usually. I am. Wow. You know, and when I first heard about it and I heard it was going to be Emma Watson,

I was concerned. I am as well. I don't really like her. No, see, this is the thing. Sometimes, whenever I watch her, I think GCSE drama. For sure. You know, her dialogue delivery and her facial expressions are all a bit like my old drama class, you know, at school. And I just think, like my acting.

Come on. Oh, come on now. But she, on the odd occasion, did take the turn into GCU see drama. but it didn't matter. It didn't matter at all because the entire film was absolutely amazing. Like they did with Cinderella, they made it the most, I mean that, in the truest sense of the word is the most beautiful film I've ever seen. And Beauty and the Beast is totally up there with that.

The set designers and the CGI and the costumes, it's not going to disappoint anybody at all. Luke Evans is my favourite thing about that film. Who knew he had those pipes on him? Because I heard a snippet of him singing. Amazing. Really. What about Emma Watson's singing?

Because it is auto-tuned to shit, isn't it? It really is. You know what? Within about two bars, I heard, oh my God, that's auto-tune. Yeah, it's all just, she's singing like, oh, bad, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And it's all like this, like, computer. If you've done voice coaching or any sort of vocal training,

you can tell my lot off that that is. I mean, I learned to sing like that in college. You know, my performing arts training taught me how to sing like that. And I just think, oh, could they have got somebody else that had a better voice? I don't know. But I think at the moment she's the only one that's young enough and has

the right look to be, well, all right, obviously, apart from you to her. I can't believe they didn't pick you. I know, right? Right. But yeah, it was absolutely perfect. Everybody go and see it at the cinema. Do not waste the opportunity.

Yeah, I'm going. It's amazing. I'm going to go tonight. So that is a big resounding. Yep. from Lucy. Absolutely. Yeah, I'm going to, literally, I'm going to leave the studio. Good.

And I'm going to stay it. It is my favourite Disney film. See, it's my second favourite, and I was thinking, you know, I'm scared. My first is Sleeping Beauty. Always will be. I love Aurora, yeah. But they added a couple of extra songs in it, which were a little bit unnecessary. Okay.

But because my generation and younger know Beauty and the Beast are backwards and forwards and know the songs and things like that, they're a little bit jarring. Yeah. Because you think, oh, these are a bit. And you can't sing along. No, exactly. That was it.

That was exactly. I was sitting there sort of singing along, like ignoring the people around me. And I was thinking, oh, what's this then? Don't know. This is a little bit weird. But anyway. Was there a song called Human again?

There may have been. I was crying. Oh, because there is a song. There's a song from the original 1991 release, which got cut. Oh. called Human Again and they pre-recorded it and everything

and then when the DVD came out for the anniversary they stuck it in the original animation they reanimated it and it's called Human Again Maybe there was because yeah there was a song that Beast was singing And they all sort of got him I love him I actually had a crush on him like I feel weird

I didn't it when I was a child Still do It's a bit weird Still do Watch this and you'll fancy him too I know I mean my boyfriend makes sense When you see that

The hair He's a very hairy Okay, so we are so excited about this. Right, moving on, what else is really, really good? So I went this week to see the preview for the Lost City of Zed or the Last City of Z if you're in America, which is Charlie Hunnam from... Sons of Anarchy.

That hot one. Yeah, that hot blonde one. And also Tom Holland, who plays his son. You love Tom Holland, who's the new Spider-Man boy. Okay, cool. Who I didn't realize that until I did my research. recognize him. He did have a mustache that was a bit of funny. But

I was completely, I went in not knowing what it was about, I just got a press screening invite and went, that's the best way. I went, oh yeah, I'll just go and see what is a what? It's a true story based on a true story about Percy Fawcett who was in the army in the turn of the century like 1906 and the film goes from 1906 to 1927. Wow. So it spans all of that time. And

it was basically there was this real guy called Percy Force that he was in the army and originally at the time there was a war going on between Brazil and Bolivia to do with like rubber mining so they basically they sent in some of the British soldiers to because there was no maps

no one had ever been into the Amazon before so they've said you've got to go through the jungle and you have to map out where the border of Brazil and so we can stop this argument so he went in and then they were and they like nearly died because obviously they're going through the Amazon as like British, like,

Tallah, oh, the snake. In their John Perth. And so they go through and then they find that deep, deep, deep, deep in the jungle, they find pottery in the ground and they find rocks that have carvings in them and they're saying wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.

The Amazon isn't just a, like, underneath the Amazon, we think there's a lost ancient city and there's like, cool. Yeah, so he was like, he called it Zee and he spent his entire life absolutely. obsessed about finding this lost city of gold in the Amazon. And so, but then World War

One happens, he has to go into the war and oh my gosh, there is a scene when he's in the trenches. And I've seen like trench movies. This was absolutely amazing. You were like sitting there as if you were going through the trench. And like, I went to see it with a producer friend of mine. And afterwards we sat and went, that movie was amazing. Costume wise, bang on.

What's it called? Song-wise. Score-wise, that's the one. So score-wise, bang on. She even speculates. She thinks that they filmed it on film rather than digital camera. Oh, wow, really?

Because the film looked like, it reminded me of a... It looked like it was made in years ago. You can't tell, can't you? Yeah, the whole way this film was made was old school. It felt like a 60s classic. Like Charlton Heston

could have played the... So it's a big biopic. It's two hours and 20 minutes long. It is long. so make sure you pee. Does it feel like it's long? It did go. I did think where is this going after a while? Because it kept going through the years and I was like,

well, it's going to find out. But overall, it's a modern day classic. It's got Robert Patterson from Twilight. He plays the sort of the right-hand man to Percy Fawcett. And you wouldn't recognize him either.

He's got a full-on beard. Total, like, I think he's deliberately going away from leading, Yeah, he wants to get us far away. This is as far as way from Edward as you can get. I'm done with him. It was really, really good. So I'm saying a huge sum up.

It was surprisingly just brilliant. I'm excited. The wife is played by Sienna Miller. Obviously, because she plays everyone's wife in everything. She's in everything. I like Sienna. I do, but she's in everything. If someone else's a chance.

The only thing I was upset with is that I thought, because she played this feminist, but in 1906, and she wanted to go along to the jungle expeditions and there was a big scene where she said, no, I've done bloody childbirth, I've done this, I've done that and she was like, I don't want to stay at home and just have the kids. Like, I'm coming with you to the jungle and I thought, oh yes, go girl. But she doesn't end up going, she wasn't allowed.

And I was just like, oh, that's not quite the film. I thought it was going to be a big, like, they're going to make it through the jungle as a couple, but that wasn't quite what the film was like. Yeah, and so I did a little bit of research about the film about because it was based on, I didn't know until the end when they tell you like what happened to everyone and stuff and you're like, oh God, it's real.

It's real. When you don't know, I like that. It makes me more impactful. Yeah. So initially, Brad Pitt was supposed to play Percy Fawcett. Didn't he produce it? Was it his production company? Yeah, yeah.

It's like very, it's the same people, 12 years of slave as well. Him and Charlie Holland are like mates, aren't they? What's hot mates? I know. I know. Can you imagine? Turning up a beer with them.

Which one do you choose? A Charlie. Enie, mey, mani. Mo. Charlie. Catch a Charlie by the toe. Little squeals. Don't let him go.

Grab him by the throat. In a few shape. Okay, we just went right off. So Brad Pitt was supposed to play Percy. Then he pulled out. Then Benedict Cumberbatch was supposed to play Forcet. And then he didn't play it. So then that's when it was handed down.

and Robert Patterson actually ate in a scene he ate live maggots for real but then the scene got cut from the movie obviously done it for no reason he's like right great great he's trying to be Daniel Day Lewis and it's just completely backfired

and one of the crew members got because they actually filmed through the Amazonia of the jungle and one of the crew members got bitten on the face by an Arbor Viper and so apparently the prop-marked just went in out of nowhere and sucked the venom and spat it out

but he had no idea what he was doing because he just finished on Eastenders so he wasn't like he wasn't trained or anything I think he just saw it in a movie and just went for it and yeah so I mean it was like a proper

and you can tell that the way this film is is like you can tell that they're actually there they're not in the studio it's real the sweat is real the mosquito bites are real amazing I do warn you that there is a lot of tribal, they keep going through some of the tribes are cannibals

and stuff. There is a lot of bums in this movie. It's two and a half hours long nearly and there is just so many tribesmen in bongs. But by end of it I was like, I think I've seen over 500 bums. Quick like Brotherhood, so many bums in that film, no. No, no. Too much of his half. Brilliant. So that is my, so the Lost City of Z

which is out next week, definitely goes to that. Lovely, I will do. I was concerned about Charlie Hunnam because he's Jack Seller to me and always will be Jack Seller and I was a little bit concerned that he wouldn't be able to... He's hot in a British accent I'll tell you on his name. I'm so pleased.

He's just hot in general. Well yeah. Yeah, no, he's good. Any accent will do. I know. Just don't talk. No, just sit, just sit, Charlie. And so just quickly, what about the other film that you saw?

Oh, I saw Get Out. Straight after Beauty and the Beast which was probably a bit stupid because it just completely ruined the vibe. But what an amazing film. On your own again. Yeah, on me own again. I go to cinema on mine all the time. People might think it's sad but do it. It's so

it's such a good experience anyway. So I was geared up for this quite jumpy horror, you know, but what I got was this sinister twisted, amazing film. You know, it was really, it really surprised me.

You know, obviously everyone knows there's a huge racial aspect to it. But it goes so much deeper than that. And, uh, And Gordon Peel, who wrote and directed it, he's a comedian. Him and Keegan and Michael Key have their own sketch show and things like that. They are so hilarious. And luckily enough, he was able to get some funny touches into the film.

I mean, I was laughing out loud and shit in my pants at the same time. Please go and see it. It's absolutely amazing. The performances were good. The score was this mixture of like dirty hip hop. And some of it sounded like Beetle juice, you know. It was just really, really good. for a first time, I think

first time director, he did a brilliant, brilliant job. Amazing job. Yeah. And it's the first time I think I'm going to repeat this in the same show, the first time a black writer, movies grossed over 100 million on the first film, so it's like, he's like, yeah. He's done an amazing job, good for you, Jordan Peel.

It's going to be hard, probably. Yeah, everyone go and see it. Brilliant, okay, so that's Lost City of Z, Beauty and the Beast and get out. They're all like, yes, yes, yes, is from us.
