Starting point is 00:01:29 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?

Starting point is 00:02:30 I'm pushing 30 now no I'm not I'm actually 24 but I feel like I'm pushing 30 anything over 21 that's it exactly anything over 21
Starting point is 00:02:40 you're like crap this is yeah at the beginning of the end or is it the end of the beginning I don't know if you want to get involved with us today oh that sounds a little yeah don't do that
Starting point is 00:02:50 I mean I am single no I'm kidding if you want to check to us tweet us at Fubar Radio or email into the show Chill at Fubbaradio.com we will shout you out let us know what you're up to
Starting point is 00:03:06 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?
Starting point is 00:03:15 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.
Starting point is 00:03:29 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.
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:04:03 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?
Starting point is 00:04:17 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.
Starting point is 00:04:29 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...
Starting point is 00:04:42 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.
Starting point is 00:05:04 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.
Starting point is 00:05:22 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.
Starting point is 00:05:41 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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!
Starting point is 00:06:14 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.
Starting point is 00:06:29 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.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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.
Starting point is 00:07:21 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.
Starting point is 00:07:35 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.
Starting point is 00:07:47 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
Starting point is 00:08:13 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
Starting point is 00:08:26 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
Starting point is 00:08:37 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.
Starting point is 00:08:51 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.
Starting point is 00:09:06 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...
Starting point is 00:09:20 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?
Starting point is 00:09:38 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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?
Starting point is 00:10:09 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
Starting point is 00:10:41 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
Starting point is 00:10:57 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
Starting point is 00:11:13 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.
Starting point is 00:11:30 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
Starting point is 00:11:47 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
Starting point is 00:12:03 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
Starting point is 00:12:19 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
Starting point is 00:12:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:19 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.
Starting point is 00:13:34 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.
Starting point is 00:13:46 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?
Starting point is 00:14:03 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,
Starting point is 00:14:20 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?
Starting point is 00:14:42 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?
Starting point is 00:14:58 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,
Starting point is 00:15:10 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?
Starting point is 00:15:29 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
Starting point is 00:15:44 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.
Starting point is 00:16:03 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.
Starting point is 00:16:18 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.
Starting point is 00:16:38 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.
Starting point is 00:16:57 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.
Starting point is 00:17:10 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?
Starting point is 00:17:29 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
Starting point is 00:17:52 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
Starting point is 00:18:29 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.
Starting point is 00:18:43 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.
Starting point is 00:18:57 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.
Starting point is 00:19:14 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,
Starting point is 00:19:31 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.
Starting point is 00:19:47 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?
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:09 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.
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:34 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,
Starting point is 00:20:50 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
Starting point is 00:21:06 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.
Starting point is 00:21:29 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?
Starting point is 00:21:55 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.
Starting point is 00:22:06 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.
Starting point is 00:22:23 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?

Starting point is 00:25:09 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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.
Starting point is 00:25:31 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.
Starting point is 00:25:45 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.
Starting point is 00:25:59 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,
Starting point is 00:26:13 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.
Starting point is 00:26:28 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.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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
Starting point is 00:27:16 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
Starting point is 00:27:53 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
Starting point is 00:28:15 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
Starting point is 00:28:31 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
Starting point is 00:28:51 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,
Starting point is 00:29:18 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.
Starting point is 00:29:56 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
Starting point is 00:30:14 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
Starting point is 00:30:33 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
Starting point is 00:30:47 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.
Starting point is 00:31:01 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...
Starting point is 00:31:18 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.
Starting point is 00:31:32 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?
Starting point is 00:31:40 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.
Starting point is 00:31:58 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
Starting point is 00:32:12 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
Starting point is 00:32:27 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
Starting point is 00:32:43 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
Starting point is 00:32:59 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
Starting point is 00:33:32 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.
Starting point is 00:33:48 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.
Starting point is 00:34:07 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...
Starting point is 00:34:18 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.
Starting point is 00:34:37 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
Starting point is 00:34:54 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.
Starting point is 00:35:10 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.
Starting point is 00:35:23 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.
Starting point is 00:35:32 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?
Starting point is 00:35:50 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.
Starting point is 00:35:58 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.
Starting point is 00:36:14 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?
Starting point is 00:36:24 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.
Starting point is 00:36:36 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
Starting point is 00:37:10 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.
Starting point is 00:37:45 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...
Starting point is 00:38:05 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,
Starting point is 00:38:26 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.
Starting point is 00:39:01 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.
Starting point is 00:39:23 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.
Starting point is 00:39:38 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.
Starting point is 00:39:55 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.
Starting point is 00:40:06 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,
Starting point is 00:40:18 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.
Starting point is 00:40:34 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,
Starting point is 00:40:49 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.
Starting point is 00:41:04 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.
Starting point is 00:41:28 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.
Starting point is 00:41:50 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.
Starting point is 00:42:12 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.
Starting point is 00:42:25 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.
Starting point is 00:43:01 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.
Starting point is 00:43:15 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.
Starting point is 00:43:25 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.
Starting point is 00:43:37 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,
Starting point is 00:43:52 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
Starting point is 00:44:09 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.
Starting point is 00:44:27 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.
Starting point is 00:44:52 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
Starting point is 00:45:09 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.
Starting point is 00:45:29 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.
Starting point is 00:45:47 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
Starting point is 00:46:27 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
Starting point is 00:47:03 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.
Starting point is 00:47:15 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
Starting point is 00:47:32 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
Starting point is 00:47:50 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
Starting point is 00:48:09 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?
Starting point is 00:48:31 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
Starting point is 00:48:45 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.
Starting point is 00:49:00 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.
Starting point is 00:49:10 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.
Starting point is 00:49:17 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.
Starting point is 00:49:28 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.
Starting point is 00:49:47 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.
Starting point is 00:50:04 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.
Starting point is 00:50:16 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
Starting point is 00:50:25 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
Starting point is 00:50:35 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
Starting point is 00:50:46 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.
Starting point is 00:50:56 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,
Starting point is 00:51:07 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
Starting point is 00:51:20 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
Starting point is 00:51:32 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
Starting point is 00:51:45 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.
Starting point is 00:52:08 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
Starting point is 00:52:18 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
Starting point is 00:52:36 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?
Starting point is 00:52:57 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,
Starting point is 00:53:21 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.
Starting point is 00:53:33 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.
Starting point is 00:53:49 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.
Starting point is 00:54:07 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
Starting point is 00:54:22 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
Starting point is 00:54:41 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,
Starting point is 00:54:57 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.
Starting point is 00:55:13 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.
Starting point is 00:55:28 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.
Starting point is 00:55:38 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.
Starting point is 00:55:49 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.
Starting point is 00:56:01 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.
Starting point is 00:56:15 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
Starting point is 00:56:31 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
Starting point is 00:56:45 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
Starting point is 00:56:50 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
Starting point is 00:56:59 Oh who's that Nick Nevin Oh yeah I know Nick Yeah He's hosted a show A couple of times For me
Starting point is 00:57:04 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
Starting point is 00:57:12 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.
Starting point is 00:57:22 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,
Starting point is 00:57:35 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.
Starting point is 00:57:49 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.
Starting point is 00:58:05 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...
Starting point is 00:58:14 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.
Starting point is 00:58:27 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.
Starting point is 00:58:37 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?
Starting point is 00:58:49 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
Starting point is 00:59:04 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?
Starting point is 00:59:22 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.
Starting point is 00:59:40 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.
Starting point is 00:59:47 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?
Starting point is 00:59:57 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.
Starting point is 01:00:07 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.
Starting point is 01:00:21 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.
Starting point is 01:00:32 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.
Starting point is 01:01:06 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.
Starting point is 01:01:21 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
Starting point is 01:01:37 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.
Starting point is 01:02:13 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.
Starting point is 01:02:25 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?
Starting point is 01:02:41 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.
Starting point is 01:03:00 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,
Starting point is 01:03:19 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.
Starting point is 01:03:32 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.
Starting point is 01:03:41 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?
Starting point is 01:03:53 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.
Starting point is 01:04:12 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.
Starting point is 01:04:25 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.
Starting point is 01:04:41 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?
Starting point is 01:04:50 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.
Starting point is 01:05:10 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,
Starting point is 01:05:43 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.
Starting point is 01:06:13 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.
Starting point is 01:06:31 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,
Starting point is 01:07:01 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.
Starting point is 01:07:40 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
Starting point is 01:08:17 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.
Starting point is 01:08:31 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
Starting point is 01:08:47 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.
Starting point is 01:09:00 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.
Starting point is 01:09:21 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.
Starting point is 01:09:38 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
Starting point is 01:09:52 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
Starting point is 01:10:14 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.
Starting point is 01:10:41 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.
Starting point is 01:10:51 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.
Starting point is 01:11:04 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
Starting point is 01:11:22 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.
Starting point is 01:11:33 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.
Starting point is 01:11:49 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.
Starting point is 01:12:05 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.
Starting point is 01:12:24 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.
Starting point is 01:12:39 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.
Starting point is 01:12:57 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
Starting point is 01:13:10 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
Starting point is 01:13:22 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...
Starting point is 01:13:35 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.
Starting point is 01:13:48 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.
Starting point is 01:13:57 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
Starting point is 01:14:08 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
Starting point is 01:14:24 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.
Starting point is 01:14:43 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.
Starting point is 01:14:58 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
Starting point is 01:15:13 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
Starting point is 01:15:29 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
Starting point is 01:15:36 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,
Starting point is 01:15:43 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,
Starting point is 01:15:51 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.
Starting point is 01:16:01 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.
Starting point is 01:16:09 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.
Starting point is 01:16:17 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.
Starting point is 01:16:31 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.
Starting point is 01:16:39 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,
Starting point is 01:16:54 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
Starting point is 01:17:05 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
Starting point is 01:17:16 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
Starting point is 01:17:26 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
Starting point is 01:17:42 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.
Starting point is 01:18:01 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.
Starting point is 01:18:20 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
Starting point is 01:18:37 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
Starting point is 01:18:53 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?
Starting point is 01:19:09 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
Starting point is 01:19:24 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.
Starting point is 01:19:36 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
Starting point is 01:19:51 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,
Starting point is 01:20:06 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
Starting point is 01:20:14 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?
Starting point is 01:20:32 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?
Starting point is 01:20:48 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.
Starting point is 01:21:02 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.
Starting point is 01:21:18 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
Starting point is 01:21:30 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.
Starting point is 01:21:45 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.
Starting point is 01:22:00 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.
Starting point is 01:22:14 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,
Starting point is 01:22:28 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,
Starting point is 01:22:48 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
Starting point is 01:23:02 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.
Starting point is 01:23:21 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.
Starting point is 01:23:37 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.
Starting point is 01:23:50 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,
Starting point is 01:24:00 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.
Starting point is 01:24:13 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.
Starting point is 01:24:22 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.
Starting point is 01:24:34 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.
Starting point is 01:24:44 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.
Starting point is 01:25:00 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
Starting point is 01:25:23 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
Starting point is 01:25:37 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.
Starting point is 01:25:53 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.
Starting point is 01:26:13 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?
Starting point is 01:26:21 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.
Starting point is 01:26:30 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.
Starting point is 01:26:46 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
Starting point is 01:26:55 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
Starting point is 01:27:16 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.
Starting point is 01:27:32 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.
Starting point is 01:27:49 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
Starting point is 01:27:57 X on the beach Abitha Weekender Towie Tawi what else is there watch all of them I did get hooked I got hooked on
Starting point is 01:28:05 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
Starting point is 01:28:13 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
Starting point is 01:28:22 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
Starting point is 01:28:37 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.
Starting point is 01:28:52 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.
Starting point is 01:29:00 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.
Starting point is 01:29:16 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
Starting point is 01:29:30 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
Starting point is 01:29:44 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.
Starting point is 01:29:55 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.
Starting point is 01:30:07 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.
Starting point is 01:30:22 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,
Starting point is 01:30:35 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.
Starting point is 01:30:47 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
Starting point is 01:31:04 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
Starting point is 01:31:19 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
Starting point is 01:31:31 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
Starting point is 01:31:44 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.
Starting point is 01:31:55 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
Starting point is 01:32:12 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
Starting point is 01:32:30 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?
Starting point is 01:32:46 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
Starting point is 01:32:57 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
Starting point is 01:33:12 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.
Starting point is 01:33:24 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.
