It's nearly the weekend.
It's a beautiful day.
We've been having some really buff weather this week, isn't we?
I know what I'm just going to say?
I'm sat on my shirt really awkwardly.
And I can't lift my arm up.
It's all right. It's really relaxed on football radio.
Have a wriggle. Get comfy because we've got two hours.
Shuffle.
Have a little shuffle.
Yes.
Done.
Comfy?
Comfy else?
Yeah, I'm good.
Good.
Well, welcome to Backo.

We've got lots of guests coming up in the studio and on the phone.
We've got competitions.
We've got all the latest movie news and gossip that we can pack into the show.
So stay tuned.
And I have prepared this week a lot of some really good music.
I've been focusing mainly on some 90s teen movie hits.
Yes.
So we're going to go back.
Oh, yes, I'm excited.
Go back in time, have a bit of vintage.
I love a bit of 90s.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so we're going to start off.
All right, right, let's start off with some Gangsters Paradise by Coolio because...
You know, this song?
It was number one in the 90s for something like 17 weeks.
No.
Or something incredible.
Really?
Yeah, it just couldn't get it out of charts.
It is super addictive.
It's very coolio.
Oh.
That was horrendous.
No, no.
I love you about jokes.
Keep them coming, keep them coming.
The only thing about this is that whenever I listen to it,
I just think of the, I hear the Weird Al Yankovic parody of Gangsters Paradise.
Have you ever heard of it?
Nope.
Okay, YouTube that, if you want a bit of a giggle, Weird Al Yankovic.
Okay, here we are.
We're going to stay off.
The weekend is about to begin.

if you want to check to us

or email into the show
Chill at Fubbaradio.com
we will shout you out
let us know what you're up to
I just noticed then I didn't err
I'm noticing now
I've got to try and not say
I was too busy like
Was that me?
No.
Oh, it was me?
Oh, it was me?
Oh, my God.
I mean, you're just having a great time, aren't you?
You're doing really well.
I'm all over the shop.
Got it's all seven minutes in.
I fucked it.
No.
Yeah, so get involved, if you, anything.
Talk to us about anything.
We wanted a guy asking us what our favourite cheese was.
We were like, okay, we'll take it.
But ideally, something to do with movies or theater or TV.
Tell us what you're liking.
Or your Tinder profile.
miles. Or Tinder. That's technically
entertainment. Yeah.
I only think of that because I went on a
really awful Tinder date the other day. Do you tell?
I paid for all the drinks.
Oh, no. Okay. I mean, I'm all for this whole
feminism. We both pay for things.
Yeah. Kind of shit. Yeah. But I mean,
I went to the bar. I paid for the drinks.
I then drunk the pint.
I then got another... It was just awful.
And then this dude told me he was in a fraternity and, like, made
all the pledges, like, try and fuck a goat. And it was just
terrible. You're like, can I have that?
£3.50 for my...
I spent 50 quid.
I know.
How many beers did you get?
Or where were you drinking?
I don't know.
I was drunk when I got there.
I turned up drunk.
Alexa Wool, ladies, gentlemen.
Hi, everyone.
My can't lay it.
You could take me drinking for that.
I'll give you probably a better time than him.
All right.
Oh, bloody hell.
Oh, actually, talking about Tinder,
you just...
So this week, my boyfriend on Facebook,
he found his old Tinder profile
and he posted it on Facebook for a lot of...
And because, well, the status was, mate, how do you slay so much on Tinder?
And he said, funny gets funny.
And then he showed his, because he had a really ridiculous, like super ridiculous Tinder profile.
Right.
I didn't meet him on Tinder.
And I think if I had seen it, probably would have swipe left.
Just saying.
Oh, dear.
He looked mental.
Right.
So, oh, should we get into a bit of entertainment news?
Go with it.
Because there's so much happening right now in the world of film and TV and, you know, all of that.
Can I bring something up about a film, please?
For sure. This is the space where you would do that.
Goate you and the Beast.
Have you seen it?
I cried solidly for two hours.
You think I'm over-dramatizing this?
Everyone's like, no, you didn't.
I actually physically did to the point where I looked like I had pink eye at the end of it.
Because my eyes were so red.
I believe you, because I know, knowing you, I know how much of a Disney fanatic that you are.
I mean, I'm not one of them weird ones.
I mean, I look quite normal, I would say.
But on the inside, I'm an absolute maniac.
You do have a sort of second home in Disneyland, don't you?
Yeah, I've got a year ticket to Disneyland Paris.
And you're how old?
I mean, I'm pushing 30, apparently.
This is going really well.
No, Beauty and the Beast.
You know, if I was kind of, I don't know what I'm saying,
like, for all the dates out there, I'm like, yeah, I'm pushing 30,
I'm a Disney fanatic.
I like that.
I'm just a drunk all the time.
drunk Disney fanatic.
I'm really welcome to myself well here.
Bing, ding, ding!
Look, oh my God, your phone is on fire.
Oh, it isn't.
From Tinder and Lus.
I wish.
Even the group chat's gone quiet.
I said, oh, hi guys, let's all listen to the radio.
No, everyone's gone quiet.
Idiots.
Sorry, carry on.
Shitty group chats.
Right, no, I did love Beauty and the Beast.
Apart from, I loved everything about the film,
apart from Emma Watson.
Why?
I just...
So basically the whole point of the film.
I know, the main bloody character, right?
It's not that I don't like Emma Watson.
Well, actually, no, that's not true.
I don't like Emma Watson.
But also, she got one of the most ultimate Disney girl roles ever.
Yes, she did.
And I didn't feel like she didn't anything with it.
She's beautiful to look at.
She did, though.
No, like musical theatre-wise, in her songs,
she was just walking along, and I felt like she was terrified to do anything,
to do any gestures or anything.
Like Gaston, when he was singing, he was singing from the belly up, like, you know, from the whole, the cock upwards.
Cock and balls was all in there, wasn't it?
It was all there.
I could totally feel that.
Oh, God, careful.
Not the balls, but, you know.
Okay.
Anyway, go see a few in the views.
Johanna could feel all the cock and balls of Gaston, apparently, to go and see it.
He was hot.
He was, he.
No.
Apart from the fact that he was a total dickhead.
Yeah.
But, like, visual.
Kind of fancy love for you a bit.
I'm just joking I didn't at all.
He's gay, though.
Yeah, I know.
Good luck.
Not got a chance there.
Well, talking to Disney, actually.
So Disney are being sued by a Hollywood producer at the moment.
Yeah.
Because Zootopia, who won the Oscar for the best animation this year, last year, this year.
So apparently this Hollywood scriptwriter and producer, he pitched Zootopia to them
17 years ago
and they didn't take it
but then they've nicked it
because he can produce
apparently evidence to say that it's an almost
verbatim script
almost identical storyline
he pitched them an idea about this
magical
animal world
What is Zootopia about?
I haven't seen it
Oh my God you would love it
You absolutely love it
It's set in a world where animals
they live in this city called Zutopia
or Zootropolis
if you're in
England
They changed the title for England and America.
And it's about this little bunny, tiny little bunny,
who wants to be a policeman.
Normal.
Woman, policeman, woman?
What's the, I don't know what the thing.
Politically correct bunny term is for that.
But, and so she makes it in this,
she goes on the city and she makes it and there's like a missing person's case.
And it's basically, they live in a world where predators and,
what's the opposite to predator?
Prey.
That's the one.
Yes.
Our friends.
But there's this like weird virus.
going around, it's turning predators.
This sounds awful.
Back into predators.
No, it's brilliant.
And it won the bloody Oscar for the whole thing.
It was so funny, like, consistently funny.
But the point is Disney's being sued, so...
Great.
You know, but not that...
I mean, I guess Disney can be sued for whatever the fuck they want.
Well, yeah, because they're just loaded.
The thing is what really upsets me is that Disney actually isn't Disney anymore.
Like, it's basically just a multi-billion-pound corporation.
They're just buying.
Like, none of the Disney family are actually involved in Disney anymore, you know?
Yeah, they're all, like it's
terrible. It's bought out.
Yeah. And it's just,
they're just buying, Disney fanatic.
Idiot. Buying Star Wars,
buying Indiana Jones. I don't like Star Wars,
I'm sorry. Oh, you're not Star Wars fan?
No. Why not? I don't, I've never seen it.
Fan. You could be a massive fan.
Not even like the recent ones.
No.
Get, oh right, stand over there.
Time out. Shall I go in the naughty corner?
Time out in the naughty corner, Alexa.
I don't know what are you guys thinking out there?
Are you, are you Star Wars fans?
Disney fans. I feel like if you grew up on Disney,
you have like a weird, grew up. Yeah. If you grew up on Disney. I wasn't
listening, I'm sorry. You thought I said threw up on Disney. Yeah, I did. Yeah.
Maybe you've thrown up at Disney World. I don't know. Let us know what you think about it,
because I have a huge soft spot for anything Disney. And Disney World, Florida is pretty much my
favorite place in the entire way. I want to get married there. It's my happy place.
I'm just telling everyone my future plans today. Okay, she's ready. She's ready to get married.
Disney style. They have like a chapel
there and everything. Yes, I know I've priced it up and everything
and it's not that expensive.
It's like 15 grand.
Now I know. I actually should be put in a
luney bin. I now know why your Tinder
dates went, whew! Shit.
Right.
Back to some entertainment. Yeah, just talk
over me. Uh, young
um, young Mariah Carey. So Mariah
Kerry's famous Christmas song,
all I want for Christmas is you. Right.
It's going to be turned into a movie.
Well. It's all about a puppy.
that, or a young Mariah
and all she wants for Christmas is a puppy
and they're going to make an entire movie
out of that.
Are you serious?
Yeah, this is what they're pumping money into nowadays.
Brilliant. That sounds shit.
The Terminator sequel
that was going to be in production
has been dropped by its own producers.
Surprise. The own producers went
it's actually shit so we're not going to do it.
Yeah, that's correct. It was shit.
Well, they were saying that it was to do with not getting the right
script but we all know it's because
Arnie is now like
104 and it's just going to
turn into like Arnie for president
can I just say. I'm totally
I would totally vote oh I can't vote
for him I don't live in America if I was American
I'd vote for him yeah I'm quite
clever I promise
but I like Terminator
but yeah he's getting up there's only so much
CGI they can do to backtrack him
back into so yeah
and also if you're a Deadpool fan
Michael Shannon
has been tipped
to play in the Deadpool sequel
to play the mutant cable
so there was all this huge buzz about
Deadpool to, because I'm a big fan of Deadpool
Did you see it? I watched 15 minutes of it
and fall asleep. No!
Yeah. Oh it's so disciplined. I mean I had
I was a bit intoxicated.
That's why. Yeah.
No, you'd love it if you actually sit and watch it sober
it would be brilliant.
Okay, nokey. Right, so going back
to my 19,
teen movie musical playlist.
I'm going to go for
from the cruel intentions
soundtrack. I'm going to go for a bit of fat boy slim.
Love it. This is Praise You on Back Row and Chill.
Boom, that wasn't so smooth.
Could have done that better.
Well, you're listening to Back Row and Chill with Johanna James
and Alexa Wool is my co-host
for the afternoon.
What was that?
I don't know.
I've just noticed, right?
I'm just going to say this
just because I have no shame.
So on Twitter, on
the Fulbar Radio Twitter, there's a picture of me
and Johanna, I'm doing the P-Sign, my bra
is showing and it's got fake tan all over it.
Hot, yeah.
Hot, yeah. Stuff.
Yeah. There's like a button open or something,
and I was flashing my fake-tanned bra.
I just thought I'd let everyone know.
Go on zoom in, it's hideous.
Go and like it. Go and retweet.
It's disgusting.
Alexis bra. Dirty bra.
You could probably sell that.
It's not dirty.
Well, it's fake tan dirty.
Well, yeah.
I'm not dirty.
I'm very clean.
You know what I mean?
Oh, there was something really funny I saw in the news this week.
It's a reality TV show called Eden.
Do you remember, like, a year ago, they're being posters.
Is this where they went to the island for a year?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you remember that?
So, Channel 4, I believe, they sent like 20 people to an island.
And the whole premise of the show was that you have to.
go and start a colony like Eden itself and whatnot, what, whatnot.
Anyway, what's happened is about four weeks in,
the show was a total flop, and they cancelled the show,
but they didn't tell the people on the island that the show was cancelled.
So they've just got off the island.
Now it's a year later, March to March,
and they've had to be told, by the way,
you weren't on camera all that time.
Terrible.
And how would you feel if you, all that time you thought you were, like, on national television?
thinking that you're going to be like big brother?
I mean, I don't really know what I would do.
You'd be pissed?
Yeah, I would.
I would definitely conjure up some form of revenge for the producers
because that is bad for them not telling them.
Revenge porn.
Like, seriously, who thinks that?
Revenge porn.
Yeah, I probably leak everyone's sex tape.
So I mean, I would be.
Because everyone apparently has one.
Apparently.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I wouldn't be very happy at all.
Well, I think it's kind of funny,
but I don't think they'll see the funny side to that for,
very long time. Would you see the funny side?
No, no. I mean it's pretty
funny, but I would be pissed off.
But I think, I don't know why it got
cancelled, maybe just because it was so boring.
Do you know what's really funny though? Is that I was on 4-O-D
the other day and it's actually the most watch show now?
No. Yeah.
Oh.
Maybe it was a big publicity stunt.
Do you think?
Do you think? Maybe.
No, I don't know. I haven't heard of it.
Right. So if you're a Game of Thrones fan, the promo has
just hit the internet like yesterday
so get on your Facebook, get on your
whatever you used to get on the internet
and Google the new trailer because it's sexy as
and the news being
that the only thing they confirm for the next series
is that Jim Broadbent
National English Treasure and Ed Sheeran
are going to be in the next series.
I think Ed Shearin's an extra isn't he?
Oh, do you think?
I think so. I've just completely made that up.
No, I think he's got a part. I'm going to roll
with it like it's true. He's an extra. I have
sourceful information.
Just roll with it.
Ed Shearin, he's getting in everything.
And he's got a massive scar on his cheek.
He thought you were going to say something else.
Ed Shearon has a massive scar.
Scar.
Yeah, he does, because he got hit in the face with a sword.
By Beatrice. Princess Beatrice.
Right, I'm just going to tell the story if anybody doesn't know.
Basically what happened is Ed Shearron was at a party.
Princess Beatrice was like, well, I'm a princess.
and James Blunt was there.
He wanted to be knighted.
So, Apprentas Beatrice rips a sword off the wall
and goes to, like, you know,
he bluddy kneels down on one knee.
She puts the sword over James Blunt's shoulder,
lifts it up and swipes her cheering in the face.
She could have taken off his nose.
Yep.
Or his cock or something.
Bloody great story, though, isn't it?
I mean, that is.
How did you get your scar?
Well, take a seat.
That's got to be one of the best drunk stories.
If anyone out there has a story that can beat
Ed Sheeran's being sliced open with his face with a sword story
Then tweet us at Fubour Radio or emailing
I was just told that it wasn't Beatrice
It was Eugenia, Eugenia, Princess Eugene
Eugene.
Eugenia is it Eugenie or Eugene?
Eugenia?
Prince Eugene.
Anyway, just carry on.
Leave me in the corner, I'm fine.
Jeannie. Let's just call it a genius. Princess Jeannie.
Yeah, if you have a tale to talk.
that please let us know we will we will like read that we'll shout you out
I'm trying to think if I've got anything that beats that but I just literally
can't being my face slashed by royalty nope no no it's happening
do you remember the Oscar cock up this year yes a massive
co-cass yes I did that was the Oscars I was there no you were not the
front row it was because of me no so they've had to rejake all the backgrounds
backstage of the Oscars because obviously they never want that to ever happen again.
So now there is going to be a third person in the control room
whose only job is to check that the right name is being read out.
So that they can just sniper in there and get it if someone cocks up again.
And no electronic devices are allowed backstage
because apparently the people who were supposed to be in charge of the letters,
they were on Twitter and they kept tweeting and doing photos
and doing stuff backstage.
So they're saying that obviously they weren't doing their job,
because they were too busy tweeting
so the wrong envelope
got put in the wrong hand and whatever.
I would have done that as well, to be fair.
To be fair, yeah.
And lastly,
are you fan of Tomb Raider?
Lara Croft.
Sure, yeah.
You're neither here than I.
Yeah, it's not that important in my life,
but it was all right.
Well, I never played the games
because I was a bit young, I think,
to get into the Tomb Raider the game,
but I did like the idea of Lara Croft
because she's like fucking kick-ass.
Oh, absolutely.
I wanted to beat Lara Croft,
minus, like, the mass of tits and stuff.
And then there was obviously the Angelina Jolie movies.
Yeah.
And I like that because Angelina Jolie is one of the only women in the world
where I think, yeah, she could absolutely beat the shit out of me.
Like, I totally...
Do you think?
Yeah.
Well, no, not Angela Jolie now,
because she's a bit frail and a bit like...
But back in the Tomb Raider days, oh my God, yeah.
She could pack a bloody part.
And I've heard guys say that as well.
I think that Angie's only could possibly break me.
I think I could round house kick her in the face and knock her over.
If you do that, it would go viral.
Yeah, I might do it.
I won't.
I'm not going to do that.
I'm a pandy.
Have a shot and go for it.
And, well, anyway, they're making a new Tomb Raider.
Is she going to be in it?
No.
Guess who's going to be Tomb Raider?
Oh, who, who?
Alicia Vicanda.
Oh, is that who's married to Michael Fassbender?
Are they married now?
Yeah.
They got married.
Oh.
Well, they're going out.
They're shagging.
Yeah.
They're fucking partners.
Oh, Christ.
Friends with also lots of benefits on love.
I don't know.
I don't know how I feel about that.
Well, she's a very odd.
I saw a photo.
There's a promo photo of her as Laura Croft has come up.
And the first thing, I hate to say it, but the first thing I do think I go, she's gone
her tits.
Oh.
Which, I can't say I've ever looked, if I'm honest.
What, at her tits.
Yeah.
I mean, beautiful, lovely little petite things.
But she's stepping in.
to the Lara Croft, who is
kind of known for her.
One, I just feel like she's
kind of an athletic build
plus tips. Maybe that's quite a good thing.
So they're changing up. I mean, Alicia,
she's teeny, tiny, tiny.
I think she's about five foot one.
She's tiny, and she's very slender.
And I just don't, I feel like I could
sit on her kind of thing, which
isn't quite what I was picturing for Laura Croft.
So she, but she's a fantastic
actress, so I'm going to like, go open
in the cinema and be like, you know what?
impress me, Vicanda. Let's see what you got.
You know what? I'm thinking about it. She might actually be quite good.
Yeah, I'm like in two minds.
Yeah. I don't know. What do we think? What do we think? What are we voting?
Who, if you out there think can think of anyone better to cast as Lara Croft.
Me?
Or Alexa or myself, let us know at Fubar Radio or email in, chill at Fulbar Radio.com.
I love getting an email. I feel super special.
Last week, we ran a competition, if you remember, which was.
was to win a signed vinyl record going old school of the Brotherhood soundtrack,
which was signed by Noel Clark himself.
And we had two to give away.
And I have got the winners in front of me, so I'm going to read them out.
So have a little, I wish I had a drum roll.
Do I have a drum roll?
No, I don't.
Thanks, Alexa.
Thank you very much.
So the winner is...
Shall I carry on.
No, we got it now.
Okay, sorry.
It's Mike Picksstock from Cheshire.
Congratulations.
James and Mike, so we're going to be posting you a vinyl.
I wonder if he has a record player, though.
That's the only thing.
Well, you wouldn't have entered the competition if you didn't, though, would you really?
Yeah, if you didn't want it, you wouldn't have entered.
So, there you go.
Or it could be like a really big, T-cozy Matt coaster.
Yeah, I was thinking, I could have think, I don't know, sorry, no.
No.
I just thought of something and went, no, that's not suitable for radio.
Carry on.
That's all right.
Oh, no, we can say quite a lot of food, right?
Right, so I think that's it.
So did you miss out?
don't worry because we're going to be doing the same competition again.
If you want to get your hands on a Brotherhood vinyl winning the same prize,
then just go to our Twitter at Fubar Radio.
Right now, I'll give you a couple seconds right now to go.
One, two, three.
Boom, you should already win your Twitter.
Then go and retweet the picture and follow Fubar
and we were going to announce two winners next week.
So well done and congratulations.

no I do I've got like a wolf
duvo cover
I'm a bit
oh wow
yeah that's like me
yeah
What?
Is going on here?
It's the whole thing.
Like if you got on Instagram
and when I started calling myself
a wolf,
like there was loads of other people
with all these wolf pictures
and it's a thing like.
Yeah, it's like a proper
little fetish gang but not quite like that.
I don't know how to think it.
Yeah, yeah.
I quite like it.
I'm gonna roll with that.
Yeah, you should join the team.
Although I told my mum once
that I like things wolf
and then now that's all she gets to me.
She's like, I found you a mug.
And I found you a pen.
Oh my God, people do do that, don't they?
grandparents usually at Christmas.
You say you like one thing, like an animal, like a dog or something,
and they buy you everything to do with that.
You've got the whole thing.
So, Urbane, or I want to say it in French way, Urba.
Urbara.
Urbara.
I could listen to that.
Are you French?
Well, I'm from a French-speaking country, originally from a country called Rwanda.
Cool.
Which is like, used to be a Belgian colony, and they speak French, so that's why.
So do you speak French?
Not really.
Not really.
I can, but I really don't try to because it's just embarrassing.
Sava?
Sava.
Yes, I understood it.
Okay, and you're here to talk to us today
about a play called custody,
which I've got to say,
looks really, really cool.
So if you want to just talk a little bit about that.
You should come see it.
Basically, yeah, so custody is a play that I developed
from 2015, 2014.
Okay.
I started developing it,
because it takes a while to develop a play.
Yeah, so how it came about was basically,
like, I don't know if you guys were,
yeah, you saw the London rights and stuff,
like that after that happened, Mark Duck and all that stuff.
And basically what happened was there was a lot of people on the news and like white middle class
politicians and stuff like that saying who are all these kids writing and stuff like that.
And obviously I wasn't involved in the writing and stuff like that, but I knew that anger and I knew
where that came from.
So I just began to make a project that was going to explain to people who didn't know where
that anger came from.
Yeah, I get that.
What it was about.
So as I started to research about it, I found out more.
stories of black people who died in police custody and I realize it's a thing that's
happening that happened since like the 60s when black people moved to this country that
they had been being killed by the police and nothing was being done about it even until
this day for a black person dies in police custody and the the police officers have
used brutal force and it can be proven they still wouldn't get convicted and it's a
thing where people think it's an American issue but it's not just America it happens
quite a lot here I think that people think that it's only a
American thing because of guns and because like they show it a lot on social media
and stuff like that but they don't know that it's happening in London in the UK it
right at your front front door. Because it doesn't make the news. No it doesn't make the news and
there's this whole big thing of like the police and like all the parties involved the IPCC
who's supposed to investigate the police they corroborate together to actually
have this information so that's why I wanted to create a project to bring it into
people's eyes and for them to see it.
No good on you. It's based on a documentary
called Injustice by this underground
activist group that make films and documentaries about
political issues and they basically
followed all these families who had
family members dying police custody
for over like 10 years and stuff like that
and they documented it and they just showed that in the span
of 10 years nothing had changed
in terms of giving these people justice
and it's like it's so
painful for me because it's like when it's something
like Hillsborough or something like that
when it's white people who've died in police custody
and the police, you can see the extent
to which the police go to cover up things
but because they're white, they will get the press,
they will get justice in the end
but with black people, people who have died since the 60s
to this day, nothing.
So this play here I see on the little like PR for it
says another young man, a young black man dies in police custody
apparently no one's to blame.
How in 2017 can that be so?
Already I'm like, this is in true.
interesting. So how many people are in the play? Is it? Is it?
It's four people. It's me and three other actresses, amazing actresses.
And basically the reason why I wanted to do that, which is mainly female characters,
was because in this whole movement when people are trying to get justice,
is usually the female members of the families who actually do that. So it's based on people like Marcia Rigg,
who has a brother called Sean Rigg, who died in police custody in 2008 in Brickston Police Station.
and Janet Ordar and all these people who had family members dying for police custody,
and they're the ones who fight for justice, who campaign and stuff like that.
So there's mainly women, black women, who are activists and fighting for the justice
and for people to be prosecuted, but people don't know that.
So, yeah, I want it to highlight that they're the ones who are fighting and campaigning.
So it's me and three other actresses, basically.
And have you had much experience in putting on plays or being in...
plays before or is this kind of like a new world?
So I have
had experiences in terms of like
being an actor
in other people's plays but this
is my first first ever play that I've
produced by myself
in collaboration with a company called Faith Drama
and Oval House and stuff like that so
this is my first ever play that I've produced and put on and created
from like an idea and
made it happen kind of thing and it hasn't
been easy but yeah. Oh it's going to be an
oval house in Kennington? Yeah what
is on right now. We're just on the last
first week. So we had press down
on Tuesday, preview on Tuesday,
press on night on Wednesday, yesterday with the first
like proper proper show. And then
yeah, next week we have like,
we have a Q&A today with the family members
after the show yesterday.
So they're going to come and discuss
yesterday. So they're going to come
and discuss about it. And on Tuesday
we have like another panel
with different activists from people
from different organizations, lawyers
who are involved in these cases with
Galdem. I don't know if you know about Galdem.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so they're hosting it.
You should come.
And I really wanted them to host it
because they're female collective,
feminist collective,
and obviously this whole movement
of fighting for rights is headed by black females.
So I was just like they're the right people to kind of host that kind of...
I think if ever I needed like a lawyer,
I would want like a strong black female lawyer.
Yes.
Just saying.
Just saying.
Yeah.
And we'll,
We know the Oval House.
We do, we know it very well.
Oh my gosh, do you?
Seriously.
We went to drama school.
We went to drama school.
Oh, did you guys go drama school?
Yeah.
Is it where?
We went to the London School of Dramatic Art in Kendington and we had our final, final, like, showcase at the Oval House.
Oh, wow.
Amazing.
So we did the Laramie project there like a couple years ago.
So we know the space.
No, it wasn't a couple of years ago.
It was five fucking years ago.
All right, we're not that old.
It's fine.
Overhouse is literally so amazing
because it's like my play I'm not going to lie
it's kind of no holds bad
and it talks about institutional
racism and the fact that
there's a lot of people in society
especially the middle classes
white middle class people are quite apathetic
about this issue and don't want to
highlight it because they're complicit in it
in terms of like
doesn't affect you why not
it doesn't affect you don't talk about it
but people are dying every day
and that's my reality and I try to explain to people
as a black young man in
2017 today
I when I see the police I have to cross
the road so that
if we have an encounter
it could possibly go wrong and I could die
and like I prefer
even though I have a licence I prefer not
to drive because I will be stopped and search
so much oh my God that's terrible
that's the reality of my life and
when it happens I don't know where it's
going to lead to so I'd rather not drive
I'd rather get an Uber because
but
I always try to say to people it's so
sad that as a person living in 2017 as a black young man that is my experience and this
has to be talked about and we have to and it's difficult because it brings about things where
people have to question themselves that what have I been complicit to what have I ignored that
that I've seen the news every day or whatever and it's like and obviously it's British society
and British culture is so polite that we don't want to talk about things that makes it make us feel
uncomfortable. It makes it feel like, oh my gosh,
like, wow, like,
I might not have said anything. I might not
even realize that this is going on in my
own space. Yeah, I used to live in Brickston.
I had no idea. Someone died in Brickson, please, they
all the time.
Have you seen the music video this
year from Crepton Conan?
And Noel Clark, he wrote and directed
and Jason Mazur, who was in Brotherhood.
And basically the whole concept of their
music video was they swapped
the roles. It was like a white policeman
who stopped. I haven't seen it, actually.
And then they stop it and then they rewind it and they switch the roles.
So that they're in Creptin, the police guys.
And they're stopping the white guy.
And they basically turn it on its head and say, like, walk on the other foot or whatever.
It's really, really, really good.
So check that out on YouTube.
No, definitely, I will.
That's a really good one.
So I really like this.
Hashtag, who is Brian?
Yeah, who's Brian?
So basically...
Who is Brian?
Who is Brian?
Basically, so the concept of the play, when I came up with the concept, I was like,
is basically about the families dealing with it
and when you watch them deal with it,
that's when you know the experience
and what it leaves behind
and the extent to which it affects people.
People, like a lot of the family members are ill,
they have high blood pressure,
they develop all kinds of diseases or ailments
because of the pressure of it
and the fact that they never ever get justice
regardless of how hard they might work
to even create their own investigation
because the police tries to hide so much information
when a person dies in police custody.
Yeah, of course,
is all just hidden away.
Yeah, so the families have to basically create their own investigation
and, like, and bring that to the courts,
and the courts will still always throw it away.
And they're all, like, ill because of that.
Yeah, it's very, very sad.
Well, thank you so much for coming on today.
And if you've just joined us,
we're speaking about the new play called Custody,
which is on at the Oval House right now.
So go check it out, go get tickets.
And thank you so much, so...
Thank you so much for coming in.
Thank you.
This has been brilliant.
I can't believe you guys with Drum School
and did a thing.
thing it overhazard.
And it's small world.
And I got a wolf tattoo
when I messed buddies already.
Oh my God.
Okay, we're going to pop to his song
and then we're going to have our next guest on the show.
This is Love Forb on the Cardigans
from the film.
Any guesses, any guesses?
Not got a clue.
Romeo.
Oh, how do you not get that?
Love that song.
Love that film.
Leo.
My love.
20 year old.
20 year old Leo.
I feel more and more pervy
the older I get thinking about that.
I don't.
He's hot.
Right, we've got our second guest
going to be joining us on the phone.
This is Max.
Cassella, he's going to be talking to us about the new play at the Royal Court Theatre.
The kids stays in the picture.
So if technology allows us, we're going to try and get him on the phone right now.
Let's have a little look.
Max, are you with us?
Yeah, I'm right here.
Yeah.
Welcome.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm great.
I'm great.
Fantastic.
Where are you at the moment?
I'm in my swanky flat in Chelsea.
Oh, Bluzzy L.
That is quite swanky.
Very nice.
Yeah.
And you're here to talk to us today about the play that you're in at the Royal Court Theatre.
Tell us a little bit about that.
It's called The Kid Stays in the Picture.
It's an adaptation of a memoir by legendary film producer Robert Evans,
who made The Godfather in Chinatown and Love Story and Marathon Man and a whole slew of other things.
And his life is kind of a role.
roller coaster ride. So it was the bestseller came out like 20 years ago and then it was made into a
very successful documentary about 10 years ago and now Simon McBurney and complicitate theater
company have adapted it to the stage. And it's been re-jured. So we're at the Royal Court and the
Royal Court is hopefully just a, you know, a tryout. The play is still in development and we'll see
where it goes from there. Barbara Broccoli of
2007 fame is the producer
as is Patrick Macmillan. I've heard of her actually
Barbara Broccoli. Cool. No, she's
the lady that does all the Bond films. That's really cool.
Yeah, yeah. Is this one of your first times on the
London stage? Because you've appeared in like the
Sopranos and Broadwalk Empire.
So is this your first? Yeah, it's my first time
working in London. Oh, well
welcome. Welcome, welcome. And
thank you. And are you
nervous about that? Are you...
No, no, not at all. I mean,
what was nerve-wracking was the first time we did a...
The audience came in was the first time we had ever ran the play all the way through.
That was very nervous. Last Minute.com.
Oh, God.
Yeah, well, we've been up for a while. Now we got it down.
Good. Now we're rolling.
Good. And I always like to ask as well, because I, especially with live theater,
there's so much that can go wrong and the things that you have to do to overcome those little
obstacles of live theater. So has anything not gone the way, not gone to plan? Or has there
been any sort of backstage stories? Every night. Every night, yeah. Tell us a funny story.
What's the worst thing that's happened? Nothing's funny about it. It's terrifying. It's horrible,
isn't it? Yeah, I mean, it was just, I won the first time in the night we had an audience. It was,
again, it was our first month through. I missed an entrance.
Oh, nice.
It was a very horrible feeling and dropped half my lines and didn't pick up enough of cues. It was.
And it was a disaster.
And then we sort of, the more we ran it, the more we got it down.
But nothing too, nothing's humiliating, nothing like terribly embarrassing.
Like when I was in the Lion King, which I was in the original company.
Oh, wow.
Cool.
And I played Timoan, and I have the Tumone puppet on.
And I'm on the, I have everyone's miced up.
And the puppet broke in the middle of my singing Hakuna Matata.
Oh, my God.
No.
And it was in the middle of a matinee.
with a bunch of children.
Oh, no.
And it was hurting me so bad.
I finally made it through the number I got off stage.
And before they could turn my mic down,
I just said, get this fucking thing off.
It went out to the entire office.
All the kids.
Oh, my God, you've known the best story.
Yeah.
They still talk about that.
They still talk about that one.
Oh, that's amazing.
Back in New York, yeah.
That's amazing.
I think it's even better,
because it's like a Disney play
that made the story even better.
That's amazing.
But nothing like that.
Nothing like that for this.
Everything's been funny.
Oh, this game.
This is, yeah.
And for anyone who hasn't been to the role,
I've been to see a plays at the Royal Court.
I love it.
It's a really good venue because it's not quite in the traditional West End,
but it's a beautiful theatre, really big.
So how long?
Really, really beautiful.
How long is your run until?
When can people come and see you until?
We're there for another week until April the 8th,
and we're pretty sold out at this point,
but you can still get tickets if you show up the night off.
Oh, yeah, because they do that thing, yeah.
There's no shows or people do returns,
so you can turn up and have a drink and wait for a ticket.
Exactly, exactly.
But the reviews have been phenomenal,
so it's really hard to get a ticket at this point.
Yeah, that's good.
And it's just a short run, because it's a tryout,
and the intention is to bring it to New York in some capacity.
Oh, that would be amazing.
And how are you liking London?
I love London.
I've loved it since I first came.
I came here and I was a kid. I studied at Lambda.
Oh, okay.
London Academy Music, Dramatic Arts.
Yeah.
I loved it then. I've been back a few times over the years. I've always loved London.
I've actually been quite a London history buff.
Oh, okay. You're probably better, yeah, you're probably better than us about we know more than we do.
I still get lost in the centre. I'm not that clued up to it.
And where's home for you then when you're stateside?
New York, New York City.
Oh, amazing.
Love it.
That would be my second home.
If I could, I love it.
I've been there many times and I absolutely love it.
And so also just quickly, what have you got coming up next in 2017?
What's the year looking like for you?
Well, I'm going to do a film as soon as I get back.
And then I'll see if anything picks up after that.
I have a waiting to hear about a TV series as well.
But I'm starting to when I get home and then that'll take me for a few months
and then I'll see where I'm at from there.
See what's cooking.
God, the life of an actor, I love it because it's so like, it's like leap frog, isn't it?
You got to like, or like you're constantly...
Yeah, you never know what's a...
I didn't even know I was going to be coming here when it's just back in November.
I just was a complete surprise.
I thought I had no idea.
Packed up.
So, you know, that's the way it is.
I'm after London.
Well, that's pretty much.
Well, thank you so much, Max.
And just to recap, anyone's just joined us.
It's a play at the Royal Court Theatre called The Kids Stays in the Pittsburgh.
picture. And who do you play in it? So if people do go along, they can spot you.
We play everything. I mean, everybody plays everything. It's Simon McBurney. It's
complicity. So if you know anything about that, you'll know what to expect. It's absolutely
unconventional. But I do play people like Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzzo and Robert
Town and all of this sort of people working in Hollywood in the 60s and 70s.
Okay, amazing.
So you've got to jump in and out of character.
I can see why that would be.
In and out of characters.
In and out of beards and wigs.
Moustache half on.
Imagine if you run in with the wrong wig on.
Like, what are so?
Exactly right.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for giving us your time.
And I'll let you get ready and start prepping for tonight's show.
Yeah, real pleasure of talking to you.
Break a leg, Max.
Thank you.
Good luck. Thank you.
Bye right, ladies.
Take care now.
Chow, bye-bye.
Oh, chow, chow, chow.
Chow, chow.
I wish I could say chow.
I'm not cool.
I just tried and failed dramatically.
Live on the radio.
Oh, that seems really cool.
There's so much going on to the theatre.
And you know what?
I don't see as much theatre as I would like to see.
I want to, there's part of me that would love to be a real theatre buff.
Yeah.
But my wallet says no.
I know.
And I think, to be honest, a lot of young people now,
I think that they know that we can't really afford it.
but you know
they're doing like 10 pound tickets
20 pound tickets here and there
yeah there's ways
that you know guys can pick them up and stuff
but it is like
you want to go into the West End and see a play
and it'll cost you about 100 quid
well I'm trying desperately trying
to go to the Harry Potter play
but I can't find them for sort of less
than 150 and if you want to go with someone
that's like 300 pounds
that's a holiday that really is
and I can't, no, can't do that yet.
So I'm waiting for that to chill out of it.
And then I want to go and want to go and see it.
But it's just a shame because there's something about live theatre
that's just, I'm always on edge just in case something happens.
I love it.
It's my favourite.
Like, even when we were at drama school, I much prefer to do it.
I mean, I don't really do any acting anymore ever because I hate it now.
but I used to much prefer doing theatre to camera
because me and cameras don't get on anyway
but theatre's just so much more exciting
because if something does go wrong
if you do forget your lines you are absolutely screwed
you've got to cover it
you gotta cover it and do you remember all through drama school
and I just always forget my lines
you were good at that though
do you remember when you did a monologue once
and said that like somebody had got killed on a sofa
what was that about the sofa?
I was yeah yeah I absolutely cocked up my showings
But none of us noticed.
Well, at drama school, we did showing.
You'd work all the week and then you'd show all the teachers and the rest of the school.
How ladi-da-da does that sound?
We did monologues all week.
We showed them off.
But we had a showing, which is like a performance.
And I had this very serious monologue from the Laramie Project,
which was about finding...
It was about finding this...
I'm sorry, I just remembered and I just wiped my lipstick all over my face.
It was this poor, true account of a policewoman who found.
a murder victim which it sounds awful and she says the lines is she pulled him out from
underneath the fence but I was rehearsing and rehearsing and rehearsing my monologue in the
kitchen of the drama school she pulled him out from underneath the sofa and that's what I
said I Freudian slipped it when I was doing my performance and I said and I pulled him out
from underneath the sofa which was not yeah and I so I just lost it and burst out laughing
brilliant and everyone was like what what's going on I want to know if anybody has any
stories like that. Oh yeah if you've got any stories of where stuff's gone tits up for you please do
tweet us at fubour radio or email in chill at fubour radio. We have had a tweet actually that says at fubar
radio when I was six my younger cousin and me were playing with sticks and my cousin cut my face open
with a stick. Oh that must have been about the sword thing. So that's very close to the ed shuren
cutting yeah although I do think as cool as that story is ed shuren having his face sliced open by royalty
just a smidge more smidge more funny
I mean, sticks are very good.
But it's not a sword, is it?
I mean, me and my brother, we used to play this game
where we'd take the back off the sofa or the sofa cushions
and pile them up.
And then we'd run round the room,
try and leapfrog over the cushions and chase each other round.
But I was older than my brother.
I had longer legs.
I could make it.
And he couldn't.
And the poor guy, he was running away from me,
tried to leapfrog over, didn't,
landed and he bit through his tongue
and I just remember
he did that thing and if anybody's seen Sons of
Anarchy, have you seen it? No.
Oh, well this will be lost on you but one of the guys
is imprisoning because he doesn't want to talk
he bites his own tongue off by slamming it on the table
it just reminded me of that yeah
carry on it was pretty much what that exactly that
my brother did a son of anarchy
Oh bloody hell
So if anyone else has got any
any other horror stories like that of what's happened to you
or any accidents we want to know we'll shout out at
Fubar Radio.
Alrighty-tighty, let's go for a little bit more
music. What should I go
for? What shall I go for? Are you feeling
Space Jam? I was just about to say, please, can you put space jam?
Okay, it's one of my favorite films from the 90s.
This is the theme tune for Space Jam.
Noel would kill me if you knew I was playing this on the air, but
fuck it. I love this song. This is Back Row and Chill.
Back Row and Chill with Johanna James
and Noel Clark on Fubar Radio.
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
It is Johanna James and Alexa Wool
And we're joined by our next guest in the studio
So a very huge welcome for the guys from 46 Beacon
It's Oliver and Jay, is that right?
Yes, thank you
Welcome, welcome, thanks for everyone on us
Thanks no, my pleasure, our pleasure
So just to jump straight in, 46 Beacon
It sounds like a secret code word
I know it does
It does it, it sounds like a spy movie or something
Yeah, it does
I mean we are obviously secret agents in disguise
Yeah, I can tell.
I can tell.
I can tell.
I'm just giving it a game away.
But no, it's a play.
It's brilliant play by Bill Rosenfield on the Trafalgar Studios too.
Trifalgar.
Oh, like, cool your face, that.
I just registered where it was.
It's a great in the centre.
It's great, isn't it?
Yeah, it's really small.
It's only about 90 people.
Yeah, 90 seater.
Yeah.
And we have to get our kit off.
So in a small space like that.
What?
All of it?
Yes.
All of the kit.
Yeah.
It's all coming off.
Full Monty.
What?
What?
What?
Because I did see here there's a warning that comes on the PR for this.
That is.
Contains strong sexual content, brief nudity and musical theatre references.
Yeah, it's got all in a lot.
I did read that wrong though and I read it as contain strong sexual content musical theatre.
No, I'm going to ruin it.
You've forgotten it now, I think.
Basically, nudity and brief musical theatre references.
I was like, oh, just brief ones.
It's very quick references.
There's full on nudity and brief reference.
We've got it the other way round, unfortunately.
The thing is, though, how do you feel about being actually like naked?
Do you sing in the buff as well?
There's not actually any singing.
I mean, there's a minor moment of singing that I do.
Oh, it's just brief musical references.
Literally references.
Literally references.
But, yeah, I mean, you know, it's part of the job.
I mean, I've done it before.
Petrifying.
Yeah, I've done it before, yeah.
Seasoned prose, then.
Yes, I'll, you know.
Unfortunately, yeah, it just seems to keep happening.
It's a nightmare.
It does seem to come with the territory, wherever you go, be TV or theatre.
But it's scary, though.
I don't think I could do it
I couldn't at all
It's quite liberating as well
Once you've done it once
I mean you just want to do it all the time
Exactly yeah
All the time
I go everywhere naked
It's quite rare that I'm actually wearing clothes today
It's quite unusual
I mean the weather's nice enough
Yeah exactly
Seems I get out of the studio
I'm just going to strip off
Why not
Well the law
But you know
Apart from that's true
But if you think about it
It's not that weird singing in the buff
Because everyone sings in the shower
I don't
Apart from you
Yeah
The only person
I don't at all.
I know, I do.
No, the acoustics.
Yeah, wonderful, wonderful.
I sound fucking good in the show.
I like, yeah.
Actually, I just did a sketch,
because I did comedy sketches, aside from the radio,
and I just did a sketch with Natasha Beddingfield.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, she approached me and was like,
I want to get one of your sketches.
I was like, cool.
And so I sort of came up with one,
and I was like, you know when you think you can sing great in the shower?
Yeah.
So it's like me getting in the shower,
and something I've got this amazing voice,
and I'm like singing Ed Shearin and Whitney Houston
and then the camera kind of patterns around,
and she's there like cleaning her teeth like
Morning hell soon
I'm like oh shit it wasn't me of me
It was you all along
But yeah
Just all like plug myself
But we're plugging you guys
So
46 beacon
That's not spy musical
Back on topic
Back on topic
And how did you guys get involved with it?
Yeah I auditioned for it about a month
We're only three weeks in rehearsal
Yeah
We're into the theatre
Next week
So yeah I just audition
for it, read the script, loved it, thought it was a challenge
and ended up getting the job, so congratulations.
Thanks so much, yeah.
It had a short run before at the Hope Theatre
for four nights, and I think off the strength of that
they decided to bring it into the West End
and give it a proper run, and that's how, when we became involved with it.
So, similarly, it's great play.
How many of you are there in the play?
Us two. Just us.
Oh, just you do?
Oh my God.
Us two for 90 minutes.
I was expecting. I don't know why.
I was picturing like a full cast
of like nude people like doing the can can
or something. I went off
in my mind. That's an insight to remind. I asked for the full
compliment of naked people doing the cancane
but it was budget restraint
austerity and all that in it.
Bloody hell, it could break it. They could put mirrors
behind you maybe and then they'd be low
or no because what if anybody like bent over?
That's true. No one like, no one needs to see that.
Nobody wants to see that.
I'm just kidding. It's just too.
Well, this is very brave. What are brave men.
Maybe we should come off the topic of nudity now.
I think we've rinsed that one.
So apart from being nude, what is the show about?
Well, it's a, as we said, it's a two-hander.
It's a sort of coming-of-age story, really.
It's about Ollie's character, Alan, meets my character, Robert,
and he's obviously much younger and more beautiful
than I'm a sort of wizened old hack actor,
living in Boston, but British, and Ollie's character's American.
and they meet former friendship and have a sort of one night together.
So it's sort of about this night of romance between these two men,
but it's also about identity and coming to terms with who you are
and all that deep stuff.
Love it.
Absolutely.
One night.
I was going to say one night in deep town.
I was like that sounds like a porn.
Yeah, it does.
But you know what?
I was going to say it's either a spy thriller or 46 Beacon does sound like a sex position.
It does indeed.
Oh, it does.
Why can we not get off the topic of sexy nudity?
I'm just thinking.
I was like, can you imagine?
We're like, babe, let's do 46 Beacon.
Get yourself in the 46 Beacon now.
Assume the position.
I don't know if we've got the equipment in the studio, I believe.
Amazing.
So a little bit about the two of you,
before you were doing 46 Beacon positions.
Because I, boy.
Yeah.
I mean, I barely in it.
I literally, I mean, we shot a few scenes.
And apparently, I've not seen it yet,
but our assistant director, Joe,
watched it and said I was in it
for one line. So I've got one line
in my boy, yeah. That is still, that's still in it.
Do you know what I'm still in? Either credit, let's not
lie. Didn't get Carl together. No, didn't get cut all together, yeah.
Well, that's, I can sort of almost top that with like
cutting room floor story. So my first ever
TV movie thing was on Channel 4, like, years ago.
And I had, I was like the bad guy's girl, so I was in
every scene that the bad guy was in and they kept giving,
they liked us to go, they kept giving me more scenes. I'm like,
this is great, this is great. And then
when I actually came to Channel 4 Studios,
to see the screening of the thing.
They cut, it was going to be a three-part program,
and they cut it into two.
So they just cut off, most of it out.
And the only thing, the only thing that was left in,
I had one line.
And at the end of the shoot, they said,
would you mind, would you be up for doing a sex scene?
Because we think that you're in it so much,
and your characters developed, and like, would you?
And I was like, yeah, I feel like that would be something that I'd do.
So I feel comfortable.
I did this sex scene, which wasn't just,
it was like, I was basically shagged up against a tree.
And it's great.
This is a great story, Janet.
And it was the only thing.
It was the only thing that got kept in the bloody program was my one line.
And my tree shanging.
And I got all the family round, all the nans and stuff.
I'm like, oh, I'm too do nans.
And I was like, oh, no.
Don't watch this bit.
I wasn't in it.
I wasn't in it.
That wasn't me.
But yeah, I learned a big lesson there.
Like, be careful what you do and what you're not doing.
It's a cruel world, in it.
It's brutal.
Cutting Room Floor.
Yeah.
Well, it's happened to me as well.
Yeah.
We've all been there.
What is your one line from Eyeboy?
Yes, please, please tell us.
I think it's like, all right.
But you do it so well, at least.
That was brilliant.
Do you know that?
Can we have it one more time?
All right.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
If anyone doesn't know what we're talking about,
Iboy, it's like a Netflix original movie.
A British one, which is one of the first pioneering British Netflix.
Is it a Netflix original?
I don't think it is.
It is.
I might be making that up.
I think it is.
It says Netflix original on it.
Netflix. Okay, we're going to go with that.
Because all I do is watch Netflix
all the time. But it's
kind of a cool concept. It's about
a boy who gets shot in the head
but it goes through his iPhone
and bits of his iPhone get stuck in his brain.
What, I didn't know that. Yeah.
Cool. And so then he wakes up and he starts
he's basically got an iPhone, he's got all technology
in his brain at his disposal
and then he goes on a vendetta to
like take down this gang in London
all on his own. Yeah, yeah, it's got
a good cast, Roy caneers in it.
Maisie Williams
Front Game of Thrones
Yeah
And Bill Milner as well
So it's a great cast
Yeah
Including me with my one line
It's cool
It's a cool
It's impressed me
Yeah
And what about yourself
Well
Prime Suspect
1973
Has been the thing
That I've been working on recently
I had a friend in that
Oh who's that
Nick Nevin
Oh yeah
I know Nick
Yeah
He's hosted a show
A couple of times
For me
I want to watch it
Really badly
I haven't started yet
But I will
I promise
Well it's all just
kicked off on Thursday night
It's episode
a very exciting episode I gather.
I saw, I watched the first one looking for Nick.
Right.
Oh yeah, and then he comes into the second and third one.
He was like, I'm in every episode,
I'm in every episode, pop from the first one.
I was like, damn it!
Yeah, yeah, we're cousins.
Yeah.
Did you have to shave your head as well?
I didn't have to shave my head.
I had to have a very long ratty wig
because I play sort of drug addicts
and General Houdlam, David Bentley,
who just sort of runs, well, doesn't run around,
limps around, just got broken leg,
sort of smoking joints and trying to do a bank job.
As you do.
In the 70s.
Indeed, in the 70s,
with a wig and sideburns.
I love, it might be my dream to do something of a period or a decade or something.
I just think that's so fun stepping back.
Yeah, it's really fun.
Or future, either way.
It's great.
And, well, I mean, I've sort of spent my life perpetually in the 70s because the play 46 Beacon is also set in 1970.
So I've done primetime suspect in 1970, and then gone back three years.
So are you wearing flares?
I'm not.
I'm growing the sideburns a little bit, though.
I see.
So much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's good.
They suit years, though, yeah.
No, I know, seriously.
I bleached my hair.
they break off and end up with these...
Brilliant.
Very weird side burny bits.
But we've taken a lane right down.
Back back to 406 vegan.
So when's it until?
So it's on from 5th to the 29th of April.
Oh, so it hasn't started you.
No, next week.
No, yeah.
First previews on Wednesday.
Ooh, light of times.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
But I feel like we're ready for it now.
We're ready to get an audience and we're ready to sort of crack on, yeah.
I want to see it.
Yeah.
Oh, come along.
Yeah, come see it.
Come say hi afterwards.
We'll be able to look us in the eye, but you'll be able to show there.
That's a brilliant show.
I'm really sorry.
Yeah, that's really good.
And what else is 2017?
What have you got in the pipeline
or are you got your hopes to do?
I've got a Sky Atlantic series
coming out in September, I think, called Tin Star
with Tim Roth and Christina Hendrix.
Tin Star?
Tin Star, yeah. It's like a sort of contemporary
Western crime thriller
where Tim Roth plays a police chief
who moves to a sort of quiet town in Canada
and is passed
from London catches up with him.
You've got a lot of American-y roles.
Yeah, this one isn't actually in American.
46 Beacon is, but actually I play a kid from London.
London, but in an American?
Yeah, but in Canada.
Yeah, I know, it gets ever so confusing.
Your accent's going to be all over, like, I don't really know what day.
I know.
My family won't recognise me.
Can you guys make me a promise that if you forget your lines for 46 Beacon,
you promise me that you'll just go, all right?
That's the one.
That is the one.
That's the code.
You just look each other in the eye.
All right.
All right.
Nice, nice, nice.
Yeah, I think we should do it.
Yeah, good.
That's going to be what you're saying,
you know, to then just jump into something.
You're going to Freudian slit that now.
You do know that.
You're going to close.
You know what?
There is a few like all rights in that.
Oh, is that?
Now there's like sort of short little lines like,
oh, all right.
Oh, you jinxed it now.
Now we've said it.
This is the only thing I'll be able to think about
when I say the word all right.
We're going to corpse now.
You've ruined my life.
Or you can, or the other thing is if you've got to say it, you've got to say it like
Matthew McConaughey.
All right, all right, all right.
I love that guy.
Brilliant.
I'm going to say I met him.
I didn't meet him.
I just, I saw him physically.
That's the same thing.
In my mind, I met him, right?
Oh my God, what the hell?
We're actors.
I mean, the thing is like, if we like glance someone across in a restaurant, then we've
worked with them.
That's what we say.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
It's like everyone, everyone, I'm pretty sure, says that we, all of us say that we can ride
horses? Yeah. And sense. You know, like, when you go to an audition, can you ride horse? Of course.
Never ridden one in my life. No, me neither. No, probably shouldn't say that on radio, but it's true.
On my CV, I can ride a horse. Exactly, yeah. All the accents as well. I chatemated myself with that
twice. They said, can you do Scottish accent? Of course. Yeah. I couldn't. Squatland. I then
tried to like, you. That was my Scottish accent. What was that? Scottish. Oh, that was a little bit
Scotland?
No.
He's going to be pushing the...
Yeah, I did go to drama school, but I can't do accents at all.
That's why I don't act anymore.
I became a bloody makeup artist.
That's one reason to do.
Scotland?
Scotland.
But yeah, I said I could do Scottish and I couldn't.
And then I thought that...
Because there's all the accents on YouTube.
There's a very small amount of videos doing Scottish accents on YouTube.
Someone needs to, like, help us out.
Us actors.
How are your Scottish accents?
Not bad.
Do you know what I've actually had to do one once and it was atrocious and they actually put it on the TV
Try and say all right in a Scottish accent
I don't think Scottish alright alright yeah that was good you're good well done
got it down in Warren yeah what part of Scotland is at Edinburgh
I'll go for a little bit of sterling actually oh was it nice I felt that coming
yeah I also said that I could do martial arts in a and I went up for a martial arts role
well done I got to be got to the audition and
And there was like all these girls, there was a martial arts specialist who was showing the routine that you then had like five minutes to learn and then you had to go to the panel.
I was literally like, I fucked up.
And I was just like, you know what?
I'm just going to go for it.
And I didn't do the routine because I forgot it.
So I just made up my own routine.
You did like a bit of interpretive dance like masquerading as martial arts.
And I got a callback.
Did you?
Oh, well.
That was all right.
And then I went back again for the next one and they were like, could you bring whatever weapon you specialize in?
I'm like, yes, of course.
I'm just going to go into my weaponry.
And I kicked a head off a broom and used a pole.
Oh, wait.
Literally, they said bring a weapon.
Get you supposed to be martial arts?
I'd just bring a, you know, samurai sword on the tube.
Yeah, one of those.
Well, I didn't have a sword, so I had a broom.
And so I was, like, fully trained in the broom.
The broom.
And I just, like, whip that around.
And I ended up landing the job.
But it was because the character was supposed to be, like, a happy-go-lucky, clumsy person.
Because apparently the martial arts trainer went,
Yeah, she doesn't know what.
So your incompetence in martial arts got you the job in the end?
In the end, yeah, it did.
Advice to actresses and actors everywhere.
Fake it till you make it.
Wing it, wing the whole thing.
Well, if anyone's just joining us now, we're talking about 46 Beacon,
which is going to be appearing at Trafalgar Studios from the 5th till the 29th of April.
And there's brief nudity and brief musical theatre references.
Indeed.
As well.
So thank you so much, guys, for coming in.
Thank you.
Pleasure.
Cheers.
This is been, I feel all happy.
What are you doing?
Well, I had a laugh.
I like.
I love.
I love.
You'll talk about sex.
That's where he is.
That's it.
That's not sex, nudity.
Well, that's on your mind.
All sex in my head.
Ronnie.
And play a song.
I think I'm going to play a song called Oolala because, oh, yeah.
Do you remember this?
Ooh, la la.
What movie it's from?
10 points if you do.
This is back Rowan chill.
Jahada James on Fubbar Radio.
It's coming up to nearly half-past five on Friday.
It's back row and chill.
I'm not prepared for this.
Alexa, jumping on to the chair.
I'm not sat down.
Oh my God, carry on.
That's all right.
Carry on.
The show must go on.
Yeah, I'm just going to stand for a bit.
We've got really high chairs in the studio.
You know, no one always has a problem with his chair.
I think that chair is cursed.
Yeah, it is.
It's the cursed chair.
Right, we have got our final guest on the show.
We're going to be speaking to Sam Groves.
who's going to be letting us know all the ins and out of Flatpack Festival Birmingham.
So hopefully they're on the phone.
Let's have a little looky.
Sam, are you with us?
I am. I'm here.
Hi.
Welcome.
Thanks for coming on the show.
A pleasure.
How's it going?
Really, really well.
It's lovely in London.
Whereabouts are you?
We're in deepest darkest dig bus in Birmingham.
Oh, bloody hell now.
I've never heard of dig bus, but that's cool.
and you're going to be speaking to us about Flatpack Festival,
which I'm assuming is not about furniture.
It's not about furniture, no, it's about film.
And art in general, it's called Flatpack Film Festival is the actual title.
But we're kind of a mixed arts festival more than just a film festival.
We have music and performance and installation and exhibitions and that type of thing.
All going on, all across different venues.
in Birmingham?
Yeah, so this year we've got about 20 different venues,
and I would say the majority of them aren't really set up for film necessarily,
so we're using canal boats and we're using warehouses and ballrooms and churches
and various different types of spaces.
And is there any sort of particular types of you've got like shorts and new features
that are going to be featuring?
Yep.
Yeah, I mean, the program's really eclectic, so we've got loads of short films, probably about 200, 250 in total.
Oh, wow.
We have our short film competition.
We have our non-competitive shorts as well.
There's loads of them throughout the week.
We've got new features.
We've got documentaries.
We've got old features.
We've got medium-length films.
We've got film installations.
Yeah, it's a really kind of varied program.
and it's quite diverse.
But, you know, I think there's kind of something for everyone to have a hook with, you know,
something for everyone to appreciate somewhere in the program.
And why is it called Flatpack?
So, yeah, it's kind of inspired by IKEA in a way.
We must be the only film festival inspired by IKEA.
Maybe, yeah.
Essentially, when we first started, which was back in two,
2006. We took over various different warehouses and kind of built up cinema spaces. We took over
these empty buildings and created this space for a few days and then at the end of the festival,
we just packed it all back down again. And so we have this kind of element that we travel around
and we build up and we pack down. So that's where the name comes from.
And I'm just looking through like the PR for it. And there's going to,
to be a David Lynch retrospective, which is going to be the sort of exclusive preview of a new
documentary as well.
Yes.
David Lynch, the art life.
Yeah, so we've got, there's this great new documentary about his life and kind of starts
at the beginning of his life and, you know, talks about his inspirations and that type of thing.
We've also got the UK premiere as a new 4K restoration of More Holland Drive.
We've got an exhibition which again is in the UK for the first time
which is an amazing thing called Holorama
and it's five different optical theatres which uses this kind of Peppers ghost effect
and there's a Twin Peaks element in there
We're also showing Wild at Heart with Nick Cage
Nicholas Cage and Laura Dern
She's from the original Jurassic Park is that correct
That's the one
I like her.
Same one.
She's great.
Yeah.
And just for anyone out there
and all our listeners
who are filmmakers themselves,
how would they go about getting their work
into the festival or sort of submitting something to be?
So we kind of,
we take submissions,
we open up for next year's festival
in the summer.
So when this is wrapped up,
probably in about July time,
we'll open up for submissions.
And usually we open up for short filmmakers.
So any films which are under 20,
20 minutes.
Okay.
And people can send them to us.
We're also open to ideas and suggestions.
If people have got installations or workshops they might want to do.
Yeah.
We're always up for having a conversation with people.
So, yeah, just get in touch with us.
Getting in touch.
And so there is a website, which is www.flapackfestival.org.
And I'm assuming that there would be like a contact section there for them to...
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just info at Flatpack Festival.
all.uk. We've also
obviously got Twitter,
Facebook, I mean, there's
abundant... Of ways to get
through to us, yeah. Amazing.
And so it's going to be going on the 4th
till the 9th of April in Birmingham.
So if you're around the Midlands
and you want to get down there, like check out
all the socials.
Yeah, check out.
For the Flapack Festival.
Oh, that's brilliant. Well, thank you so much for
shouting that one out because it's nice
to have some festivals, like film festivals
that aren't in London,
necessarily because anybody sort of you know north of
well what I would say as well about Flatpack is
you know I go to various film festivals in London
and there's a lot of amazing festivals happening
but Flatpack is definitely distinct and for people who don't know
Birmingham or have a kind of slightly old view
of what the city is like it's actually changed quite a lot
and improved quite a lot and we kind of explore
so much of the city and
and parts which people don't really know about.
So it's a good way of exploring Birmingham as well.
So it's definitely worth Londoners making the trip.
And it's only like two hours on the train from London now.
Not even that.
It's like one hour 25.
Oh, okay.
They've sped it up since I've last been to Birmingham.
Exactly, yeah.
Houston to New Street.
It's a breeze.
Oh, amazing.
Well, thank you so much, Sam.
That's brilliant.
So get on.
If anyone who's interested in the Flatpack Festival,
then head over to the website.
or we'll probably shout it out on our Twitter
so you can go to Fulbar Radio
and see that. So thanks so much for getting involved.
Have a brilliant weekend and all the best for the festival.
Cheers, thank you.
Thank you. Bye.
I don't think I've been to a proper film festival.
There's one in Sheffield at today.
Which is where I'm from if anybody wants.
Shout out Sheffield.
Yorkshire. Anyway, so
I've been sat half on, half off this chair
for the past 10 minutes and now I've got cramps.
So I'm just going to like cramp.
Crouch for a minute.
Crouch for a remote.
Yeah, ow.
We'll put a song on and then you can...
Exactly, then I can sit back down again.
Yeah, I'm dying a little bit.
What was I saying?
Yeah, there's one in Sheffield, this documentary one, I think.
And they always do it at, like, the independent cinemas,
they'll never do it, like V-Wars and New World or whatever.
And just support sort of small filmmakers and student films and stuff,
and it's sick.
It's really good.
Yeah.
So...
I mean, this seems like a good...
They seem like this one seems really open for new, for newbies and...
And that's cool, because I've got loads of...
I've always had loads of ideas for sort of short films and bits and bulbs,
but I just don't know where the hell to, you know,
you can't put them forward to BAFTA first return around.
Well, yeah, exactly.
Where would you put them?
Cams.
Straight to the Cams Film Festival.
So this is a really good idea.
If you are a budding filmmaker or you've got a little crew that you like making stories,
you know, this is potentially a good place to put your stuff.
Well, okay, let's continue with all the music.
I think I'm going to go super girly,
and I'm going to go for a bit in a Britney's bit.
Yes.
Because it's the night.
We're doing 90s teen sort of mega mix, mega hits.
Love it.
So this is Drive Me Crazy by Britney Spears from the film, Drive Me Crazy,
which was from Sabrina the Teenage Witch girl.
Oh yeah, I've never seen that.
You just...
I'll just leave now.
I'm off seeing.
Out of the door.
Out the door.
That was Britney Spears.
Love it.
And I'm just being back to being like an 11-year-old girl there.
It's amazing.
Crazy.
I think I was already about 20 at that point.
that's alright
so is she
so it's fine
do you remember when she was like
the Don it was like Britney
or you were like
it was Britney or Christina
you were on always Britney
you're on either or
you were oh you were neutral
yeah I was
and I think that was very controversial
I was Britney but like
there was a part of me
I remember watching Christina
you know when she did her dirty video
and I was like
I just want to be like that
I want to be dirty like that
And I was like, because Brittany was like...
I'm 12.
I know.
That's what I thought too.
It was one of the first times that I wanted to try and emulate the, you know.
What were the chaps and everything?
I really wanted a pair of leather chaps.
But when in the world would you ever that be ever be acceptable?
Oh no.
My dad's got some.
Excellent.
Honestly, he genuinely has.
There we go.
My dad's got some leather chaps.
I hope he doesn't wear just them.
Oh God.
Please don't make that's my dad.
I'm just giving you a visual one.
Please.
Right.
Right.
This is her background chill.
Chill, it's Johanna James and Alexa Wall
and we've been joined by Lucy Patterson
and we're going to be doing some film
reviews so don't be afraid
to get involved if you have a film review
that you want to let us know about we will shout you out
so tweet us at Fulbar Radio or email
in Chill at Fulbaradio.com
for the next half an hour
tell us what films you've been seeing what you want to see
if you've seen anything and it's really shit
let us know because they're the best ones
exactly so has anybody seen
what has people been watching this week in film club
Do you know, I've been really busy this week actually.
I have three things on my list.
I'll start with one that I was really excited about actually.
Because I do love a bit of nostalgia.
The Power Rangers movie.
I haven't seen it yet.
I actually went to see it all on my own and I've just got no shame.
I do it all the time.
I've got no shame at all.
I was so excited by it.
Obviously, we know that Power Rangers was a TV show when we were kids.
80s, 90s, 90s, 90s.
Yep, 90s.
Early 90s.
Which was known for being.
cheesy and at the top
and just terrible. The best thing
ever. Exactly. It was so
terrible that you just loved it and you know what? I was
going into the film and I saw the trailer
and I got so excited and I thought actually
I think this is going to be really good. I don't think they're going
down the cheesy boat. I was so wrong.
It was cheesy as fuck and it was
brilliant. It was so good. I was
laughing, smiling, crying through
the whole thing that even had the song in it.
Only for a little stupid. I wanted
more of the song. I did. I was
waiting for those guitars to come out and I was
going to be like,
I know,
but they just,
they kind of subtly put it in there
and I was a little bit like,
I know,
there was interesting me
and like about four other people
in this massive screen
and I was in this row on my own.
I thought,
I want to get up and dance.
Like,
I actually want to sing,
this is so good,
but it is,
it's a terrible film.
But brilliant at the same time.
But brilliant.
It's one of those things
that it's just so bad,
it's good.
And, you know,
even if you weren't alive
when the TV show was out
and you didn't watch it
and you don't know about it,
please take your kids to see it.
Teach them.
teach them about Power Rangers.
Everybody needs to know the Power Rangers.
Oh, they really do.
And I smell a franchise.
I really do.
Also, what colour did everyone want to be?
Yeah.
Pink.
For you.
I was yellow.
I was red.
I mean, I know that was the leader.
Yeah.
Definitely a man.
I was red or yellow.
I wanted to be the red one.
But I think...
I know.
I mean, tomboy at heart from age like five.
Yeah.
I like red because red's the leader,
but now my favourite colour is yellow.
So I think I would go for the yellow.
Well, we'd be absolutely.
absolutely fine then.
I know, yeah, let's start it up.
We can be escorted.
There you go.
But what I did like about this film,
because I saw it yesterday on my own as well.
Brilliant.
And...
I never go to the cinema with people.
I don't.
I do it on my own all the time now.
It's the best thing.
And we, well, I went on my own
and I went, yeah, again, with like an open mind.
I wanted it to be good
because of my kids' connection to it.
And, but the things that I thought were good about it
was the way that it was filmed,
obviously, really well.
Oh, yeah.
in a very modern
lots of fast editing
and study cam
and so it looks
totally like shit hot
that's good
and I like the characters
that they built up
and the whole film is about
how the Power Rangers
become the Power Rangers
and kind of the struggle
that it is to become the Power Rangers
because they can't morph
until
they're ready
and they're all together
yeah
it took like the majority
of the film
to get to that point
hence why I said I smell a franchise
guys. They've set it up now.
They've set it up and now they can just roll with
all the... I'll tell you what I loved and it actually brought
a bit of a tear to my eye.
The Blue Power Ranger, he's played by a black guy
who is autistic.
Yeah. Really?
Sick. He actually set, you know, and it's a walking
talking shot that it's a tracking shot, you know, and he's just
it's not a sad moment.
It's not a supposed to be a poignant moment.
It's just matter-of-factly saying,
I'm on the spectrum. It means this.
It means that, blah, blah, blah. And then just carries
on. You know, it's...
A subject very close to my heart because of one of my friends' sons, you know, he's autistic.
And I see him struggle.
And I'm just so pleased that more and more in the mainstream,
it's being bought to light, but not bought to light in some sort of tragic way.
No, he's a positive way.
Oh, it was actually amazing.
That was a good thing about it.
My little brother is autistic.
And that was one thing that I saw, and I was like, bloody hell.
Well, one, they gave the main black guy.
They cast opposite.
he's not playing some cool gangster
from the rough side of the streets
he was playing a guy called Billy
who is autistic and he was
a bit of a nerd and they sort of
they anti-cast him which I love
the fact that they gave that. I thought he was brilliant. He was my favourite thing
about the film. He's so funny
as well because he's all like the comments
that he was making matter of fat and he doesn't like to
swear so he was trying to swear
and then he'd be like I don't say that
I don't say that. So he
go to just see this one guy's performance
is just brilliant and then
I mean, I think if I'm going to nitpick it
I think like the main guy Jason could have
been hotter. He did have been a little bit
didn't he? He just was a little bit not
He seemed hot in the trailer
Yeah, I think they drew on the abs.
Oh, they were impressive though, am I saying?
I think they sprayed those on
Yeah, a bit of contouring
Oh yeah. And the only other thing
is that I, the two girls
looked pretty much identical. They did, didn't they?
So I thought they could have gone for a bit of different
girl. Yeah, they could. You know, one of the girls
could have been a red-haired
or a blonde or black or whatever.
Like they could have...
They were pretty identical.
I think they cut one of the girls' hair off
just to make them look a little bit more different
because they look absolutely identical.
I was a little bit confused at times.
Yeah, I was.
I was too. I was like, unless they're in their little suits,
I don't know which one they are.
So, I mean, pushing the boundaries.
So they've got one of the main guys is autistic
and the other is gay.
So they've got...
They're sort of filling the boots of...
They really were, you know, doing what they should be doing
when it comes to diversity and things like that.
and, you know, some people might say,
oh, that's so obvious.
Well, of course it is.
They've done it to include everybody.
People need to stop moving.
Yeah, if you've got a group of five teenagers,
more than likely, one will be autistic,
and more than likely one will be gay.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Representation.
Ooh, love it.
So I love that.
And also, it's a fantastic soundtrack.
I've got a couple of songs to play from it
because the soundtrack is banging.
So I went out of the cinema going,
yep, yep, yeah, loved it.
So go see power and just people.
Take everybody to see it.
It's amazing.
And if you have seen it, let us know at Fubour Radio on the Twitter.
What else has anybody been watching?
Riverdale.
I know we've all been into Riverdale.
I'm just like, I'm sorry, I'm just going to have to state this on the radio
because I loved Zach and Cody.
You know the sweet life of Zach and Cody?
And honestly, I'm not even too.
No, but I fancied them then.
And have you seen them now?
I know.
He's the most fucking beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Totally.
Totally.
Literally, that's the only reason I wanted to watch Riverdale,
because I have never heard of the Archie Comics or anything.
And I was like, well, Cole Spouse, obviously.
I must admit, it is him that sort of made me.
Yeah.
Well, I felt, well, me, it was like a housemate,
my housemate said, oh, my gosh, you've got to watch this show.
And I was like, okay, I'll give it go.
And I'm obsessed to watch the whole thing.
And I told her, I was like, you got to watch it.
I'd seen it, and I was like, oh, Cole Spouse,
yeah, Ben from Friends, oh, I think I will.
And I just ignored it.
And then Johanna basically was pissing her pants about it.
I was like, okay, I was.
And the lead guy is also really hot.
Oh, totally.
So if anyone's going, what are they
gnaturing on about?
So Riverdale on Netflix, it's
Netflix original series, and it's based
on the Archie Comics, which were 1950s
comics, which they have then updated.
So it's got like a 50s retro style,
but it's in the modern day.
And it's about a boy who goes missing
in a town called Riverdale.
It's very twin peaksy.
Murder mystery.
Yeah, murder mystery.
A little bit stranger things style.
Really great soundtrack, really great cast.
And it's just,
It's just a drama and a murder mystery and kind of a who done it.
Everybody in the town potentially could have killed this boy.
It's very easy on the eye as well.
It's very, yeah, everyone's gorgeous.
Even beyond, you know, how beautiful the cast is,
it's such, it's so visually pleasing to watch.
Yeah, I know it is.
It's neon and dark and gorgeous.
All the shots are beautiful.
Yeah, they really are.
Everyone's well lit.
Especially the topless ones.
Even out, you could be outside in a wood and it's so well lit.
This is beautiful.
Wow.
It is so, but it is.
polished that is one thing about it that really
stands out. It's really polished, you know.
And it has got the guy from, yeah,
Sweet Life of Zach. One of the twins from the Sweet Life
of Zach and it has got
who also played the young Ross's son, Ben.
I had to show my friend because she didn't know who that was
and I was like, this is Little Ben and she was like, oh my gosh,
I feel weird for fancying him.
To make you feel better, so the main guy in it, we fancied him too
and then we googled him and realized he was 19 and we were like,
Jesus. Wait, what? The main guy
in it.
He's not.
K.J. Apert, as in the lead
dude. The lead guy.
Archie. He is not
fucking 19 years old. He's 19.
Oh, for God's sake. I kissed a 19 year old
the other night as well.
You got a problem. I'm 24.
No, but I felt better. I felt awful.
Archie was 19. But then I
Googled the other one and he's 24
so I felt so much better. Well, I'm 34
so I shouldn't really put any of them in that way.
But I just don't care. They're all beautiful.
They're beautiful.
19. I'm sorry I'm just going to have to bring back this point here.
So he's 19 and his co-star...
He looks very old for his age.
I know. Because I was going,
look at them casting these 20 odds as teenagers.
And I googling him, went, no, no, he's...
No, no, he actually is one.
On steroids or something.
But he has to kiss his co-star who plays his teacher
because he has an affair with him, a naughty affair with his teacher at the school.
It's quite sexual, actually, is it?
She is 34.
Or sensual.
Is she? Oh, they go there.
She's 34.
So she can get off with him.
We can go.
Well, I'm all right.
Free pass.
Yeah.
Also, I've actually got,
I realized this on the last episode.
You know, Cole Spouse and so Jughead's dad,
he was the really hot guy in Scream.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's not aged very well, I see.
No, I said.
Neither is Luke Perry either.
It's still quite hot, though.
They're still quite, you know, rugged and, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can remember his name in Scream, but.
Yeah, that's Jughead's Dad.
The hot one from Scream.
So that's Riverdale Netflix.
Also, a huge.
thumbs up from us.
Yeah.
And another thing I watched
the entire series of this week
and a huge thumbs up from me
is Love, the series on Netflix.
Is that the Judd Uppetow thing?
Yes, it is.
Which I think is one of those things
where it's been completely misnamed.
There is also another series
called Love on Netflix,
so it's very confusing.
Yeah.
But this is the one that's by Judd Uptow
who does, he's behind all the...
He's my hero.
He's not pretty good.
All those films like 40-year-old virgin,
knocked up, like all the American...
Pineapple Express.
Yeah.
Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill
So if you're into those movies, you'll love, love.
You'll love love.
It's basically about two, it's about dating in your sort of late 20s 30s.
And they absolutely nail the truth of what it's like to date someone or trying to be in a relationship with someone.
But it's funny because you're laughing because you're like, I know someone like that or I've actually done that.
And it's about a girl who is a bit of a live wire, a bit of a loose cannon like emotionally.
She's also a bit of a, she's a sex addict and a love addict.
And
Plusy L
It's about a guy
called Gus
Wouldn't that be nice?
Wouldn't that be nice to be?
Yeah, carry on, sorry.
And it's just a really, really good
like insight.
It's really funny.
They've got really good set of like strong characters
that they establish quite fast
and then off you go.
And yeah, so it's just, it's very close to home.
I love it.
And there was the first series
you now have two series to Binjohn.
The second series just came out
and it was just as good as the first one.
So I'm trying to get people to say, oh, watch love.
And people go, I don't really want that title sound shit.
Ignore the title.
I think the Judd-Apital angle, especially people of my age, that man shaped our sense of humour.
Yeah, he did.
You know, Jim Carrey sort of started it when we were little, but then Judd-Apettel just egged us on, you know, in our 20s.
Keep going.
So I will definitely watch that.
Yes.
Do you know what I binge watched yesterday?
What?
Abitha Weekender.
Did you?
Yeah.
I cannot stand.
It's absolutely brilliant.
Is his name, Jordan?
Yeah.
I cannot stand his fucking face.
I hate him.
I can't watch it because of him.
Do you know what?
I'm just going to tell you.
Go.
I fancy him.
Apparently, I fancy fucking everyone today.
Me too.
I mean, I've already said at the beginning of the show that I'm single, so I mean,
fucking hell.
Single and really, doesn't it?
Apparently.
Yeah, I binge watched it and it is so horrendous that it's really, really good.
Oh, see, I do love stuff like that.
What is it called again?
I missed it.
Be the Weekender.
And where do you see that?
It was Magal.
It was Magill.
off weekend there and then they moved to a
what's it about? Oh basically it's like a Jordan short
type of thing so basically these holiday reps
people come every weekend hence the weekend
so like two boys or two girls
staying rooms next week to their own hotel
and these people are kind of holiday reps
take them out
and kind of yeah like kind of all the drama
about who's in relationships with who
and doing stuff to her
it's terrible but it's amazing
I love terrible stuff like that though, but I just can't stand his place.
Yeah.
It's since X on the beach.
He's just ruined himself for me.
If nobody knows, Jordan is the guy that went out with Megan McKenna and was in X on the beach.
I can't remember what he was in.
I think he was famous for Magaluf Weekend, actually.
He was before he went on the beach.
Reality TV, but it's slightly known.
Do you know what?
Reality TV is something that I don't watch a lot of telly, and that is, I just don't know who anybody is in that world.
I'm more on the movie.
I'm obsessed.
I only watch TV for reality TV.
I don't watch anything else
I'm so bad
the rest of the time
I'm watching films
I watch, do you know what
this is so sad
I watch Made in Chelsea
George Shaw
X on the beach
Abitha Weekender
Towie
Tawi
what else is there
watch all of them
I did get hooked
I got hooked on
Made in Chelsea a while
because I started to watch it
to take the piss out of it
and then I got genuinely hooked
and then I watched it this week
that's how it starts
It's back on again
isn't it this day
and so I put it on
and my boyfriend was there
and he was like
what is this rubbish
that you're watching
anyway it was on in the back
ground and then I noticed him
I noticed him watching it
and then I went
I thought that you didn't like watching this
he goes yeah but you know I only like it
when they're shouting and stuff
and I was like you're gonna get hooked me
that happens all the time with boys
I live with my friend Baz and he
before he moved into my house
didn't watch any of it I'm watching that shit
he's absolutely hooked on it now
and we have to actually wait for each other to be able to watch it
have you ever sneakily watched it and pretend you haven't
because I have done that
no he does all the time
I've done that.
Where I've sat in my room and watched it as soon as it has come out.
And they're like, have you watched it?
I'm like, no, not talk.
He does that all the time.
That's terrible.
You two should be friends.
You're on live radio now.
Oh, God.
Oh shit.
Sorry, everyone.
Right.
Just before we come into land,
I've got a bit of news for what's coming up in the future.
So what's been released.
So Batgirl, the movie, has been green lighted.
And it's going to be directed by Josh Whedon, who did Avengers,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
So Batgirl is coming out.
Also
The trailer has dropped
For Stephen King's It
Which I'm not a horror person
But I saw the trailer and went
Oh my have to watch the show
I haven't watched it and I can't
I love the original miniseries
So much
I still watch it now
I know every word
Every sound every movement in it
I am that person
And I am so concerned
If I see a trailer
I'm going to think
No fuck this I don't want to watch it
No it's a really really fucking good trailer
I'm going to avoid it.
It's got the boy from Stranger Things in it.
I know. I know.
And I know all these good things about it.
I'm just going to wait.
I'm going to avoid the trailer.
I'm going to go to the cinema and watch it.
I don't want any preconceived.
Actually, I get you.
Well, I was going to play the trailer right now.
Well, I can't see it.
That's fine.
But just a little factoid.
So when I did a bit of research about it,
so Pennywise the clown is played by Bill Scarsgard.
Who is Alexander Scarsgard's brother.
They're getting all over the place.
The Scarsgards.
and Selen Skarsgaard's son.
Yeah, he was in fucking...
Oh, I keep swearing.
True blood.
Yeah, no.
Oh, carry on.
I'm just going to think about this.
Well, he...
Well, Bill Scarsgard, he is 26,
and he was a lot younger than I thought of the clown to be.
And apparently, but he came in,
and he did an amazing audition.
And his performance is being compared to Heath Ledgers.
But the Joker?
The Joker.
Wow.
Bold statement.
They saw lots of people for the role,
and apparently he came in and he did something.
totally different and he twisted it
and he just freaked out all the producers
and they were like that's the one
he was in that Netflix program
that was really weird
oh he was so good in it as well
what's Bill Scarsguard
yeah yeah yeah Google it
and but you know what
the little factoid here who was cast
as the clown before he wasn't the original
Will Porter
yeah really
facially I can see him being Pennywise
and I was really pleased with that decision
but what I've read
and I have looked
at Bill Scarscard as Pennywise
I have looked at the picture
like just a still
and I must admit he'd scared the shit out of me
so he's, you know
right person
He scared the shit out of me
because I saw him first as Pennywise
and then I saw what he looked like on like Wikipedia
and I was like oh he's hot
Oh this is confusing
It was Hemlock Grove
for anyone that wasn't
And look how absolutely stunning he is
Oh beautiful those eyeballs
I'm completely confused now
I'm going to have weird
pervy dreams about clowns.
I'm just going to hold this.
Do you think we could get married?
I think you make a beautiful couple.
Bill, where are you?
Come on, Bill.
Billy.
Go look at some drains.
I'll be hiding under the...
Don't I actually will.
And just finally, Netflix have announced
that they're going to be doing a revamp
of Lost in Space, a full
series, which is
if anyone doesn't know what there is, it was a big series
in the 60s, it was also a movie in the
90s which had Joey from Friends being
not Joey from Friends. And was
ripped a new arthal by every
critic. But as a child
I enjoyed it because it was a space movie. And it was
Joey. But yeah so it's about Robinson
family who get lost in space as the title
says. Funny that. And
it's but being
produced by the main people who did
prison break. So
they're not my friends at the moment. Oh why not?
Because why? How? How
are they making a new prison break?
the end of the last one
I won't spoil it for anybody
I'm somebody spoiled it for me
and I've never seen it
I'm not having I'm just not having it
and I'm not going to watch it
they're somehow they're going to revive
maybe magical fairy dust
probably who knows
yeah so I'm
I'm excited for that because I love a
I do love a space adventure
and so that's what's coming out there
so super excited
I'm just going to quickly play
the It trailer for Stephen King's It
because I really think it's good
and if you want to see the visual of it
make sure you go to Google
or YouTube or whatnot and whatever.
I can't believe it's Bill. Scars.
I know.
We're going to sit here and curve over Bill while you guys can listen to this.
Here we go.
There you go.
She's already captain.
Thanks, Billy.
I've ever been in before.
To hire or disappear six times the national average.
And that's just grown-ups.
Kids are worse.
Saw something.
There was this.
It's all connected by the sewers.
That's where it lives.
Trailer for the new movie.
It looks really, really good.
Right, we've come in to close.
That was hell.
Thank you so much, ladies, for a fantastic show.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
Yes.
And I'm going to end with my favourite song from the new Power Rangers movie
because this song comes up at the end
and I had to stand up and dance to this because it's brilliant.
This is Give It All by Santee Gold and Vince Staples.
Bye, everyone.
See you next week.
Thank you all.
Sexy.
