This is a Fubar Radio podcast. Go to Fubaradio.com for more details. Back row and chill, with Johanna James and Noel Clark on Fubar Radio. Good afternoon. It's Back Road Chill. It's Friday. It's 4pm for the next two hours, roughly. We are going to be entertaining you with all of the upcoming film news, what is it, TV news, social media.

But let me first introduce my co-host. Who's we? Who's we? Exactly. Who's we? is Alex Hobie. It's been a while. It has been...

But I'm back. Many a month. You're back to entertain everyone. Well, I will do my utmost. No promises, though. I'm feeling a bit sick. Not in terms of, like, cool, sick or good sick. Like, bad, as you can probably tell by my voice.

Sorry, producers and Johanna, but... Are you ill? Well, yeah, I mean... Is this like hungover ill? No, not at all. Not at all. Thirsty Thursdays was not a thing for me last night, unfortunately. Oh, okay.

And I'd have loved it to be, but no, this is just cold. I mean, yeah, I was in Iceland this time last week, so now I'm feeling, yeah, feeling a bit down. Dropping that in. Yeah, when I just passed through Iceland the other day. It's cold. Hence my cold, yeah, I think so. Okay, you've got a really good excuse to be ill then.

Well, I'm not feeling ill. I'm feeling brilliant, so if I'm ill next week, I'll blame you. My bad. Well, we've got a really jam-pack show for you coming up, and we are going to be doing Facebook live again. So if you can get yourself near a computer or a phone or some sort of technology that can get you onto the Facebook. Facebook page, then log in to, well, actually, you'll be on my Facebook, so go to Johanna James Facebook page and in about an hour we're going to be doing a challenge live, which I'm a bit scared about because it's going to hurt.

Okay. Fill me in. What are we doing? I've bought a lie detector. Oh. Like machine, but it electrocutes you if you get it wrong. Okay. Well, already there's a few red flags there. Lie detection is well known that that's not real. It's totally real. It's a holograph. on a five-pound machine. No. I've seen Jeremy Kyle. It was at least six.

I've seen Jeremy Carl and some of those people did not sleep with who they said they did. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I've worked it out myself. You're all the lie detector. Yeah, exactly.

That's the beauty of those shows, I guess. Well, we're going to be testing the machine out live. So if you want to check that out, then go to my Facebook page. But you can also check out our Twitter. It's at Fubar Radio. So tweet is throughout the show, and we will shout you out if you tell us anything interesting or ask us anything. You can ask us anything you want.

We're pretty open. Yeah, exactly. Just go wild. TMI, too much information, whatever. There's no censorship on this show, so literally go wild. Just go for it. Oh, you can email us in, chill at fubaradio.com. Now, every week I put together a plethora of songs that are to do with film or TV

or anything that I'm loving from soundtracks and whatnot and whatnot. Actually, on Spotify, they've got a really good playlist, which is trending in film. Okay. So I've found a lot of them from this one. So I'm going to go for this one. So you copy and paste it, essentially. Well, I copy and pasted this one, but it is a really good song. It's called Devils Whirr.

Busted. I do my research, all right? It's by Rory, who I don't know who that is. I'm not really cool with, like, music people. I just listen to soundtracks. Anyway, I love it. And so this can be the first song of the day. This is back row and chill.

Go on, Rory. Didn't quite do that as smoothly as I wanted to. Damn it! I tried to like DJ mix those oboe, but it didn't work. Oh, well, we're trying things out. It's fine. No, no pressure or anything. That's a good one, actually. What would your DJ name be? DJ James. DJ James, no, that's too many.

Ja-j-j-ch-c-a-da, isn't it? Apparently, you've got to do it. It's MC and the last thing that you ate. Ooh. So what would that be? MC Bollin-Aze. Really? Yeah, that's fire.

Mine would be MC peanut butter ice cream. Peanut butter ice cream? Where'd you stop off one of those numbers? I, on the train. Oh, I was there I'm eating my Tupperware. I didn't realize there's sort of a like a no eating rule on the underground. Oh, really? Yeah, apparently.

But where's that? I don't know who enforces it, but I've heard that Boris brought it in back in the day. So you're not actually supposed to eat on the underground, but I was there with my Tupperware and my Bolognais spilling it all over the place. My mate, that's not like food. That's not food for the travel, is it? No. You struggle enough as it is in a restaurant, let alone on the underground.

That is a funny video there. have the spoon to do the twirley thing either so it was just shovel oh just like yeah yeah just go for it yeah and whoever she was next to her I was looking over like mm-hmm that's it you know and people just frowning they're like oh my goodness I'm just I'm having I'm having creative ideas they're hitting me in my brain right now because if anyone doesn't know me and Alex we make funny videos on Facebook and and all the other platforms but I try you you do I try no you do as well mate sometimes you've had a couple millie couple of Oh, there it is.

Yeah. So, yeah, check out Alex Hoban or Johanna James' Page if you want to see all the funny shit that we make. But I've just had an idea. You have an idea. Like, what if you're having Bolognaise on a train and it's all messy and stuff, but then you meet a girl and then you do the whole,

you know, sucky slurpy thing? If any brands are listening that would like that, hit me out. Yeah, well, is there many Bolognaise brands? I don't think. Domio. Domio. Yeah, exactly. That's right out of their street.

Okay, dokey. Right, so, oh my gosh, we've really really like trajectoryed off the light bottle. I'm hungry now. What's on the agenda today? Dammit, so let's start off with a little bit of entertainment news, shall we? Because I've done my research and I've found out what's going on in the world of film and TV, and there is some fun stuff this week. So are you ready for the entertainment news?

I certainly am. Did you like that? That was amazing. Okay, dokey. Right, first off, you know, the Cannes Film Festival. Yes, can. Can. is in the news this week because it has reversed a recent decision to allow streaming only movies to compete for the big prize of the Palm Door.

Oh, okay. Palm Door. So those originals. So basically, yeah, they made a decision recently to say that you don't have to have a theatrical release of a movie to still compete for best films. So a Netflix original or an independent movie that's put on Amazon or something, they can compete. Nice. And now they've gone back and gone. Actually, no, sorry.

you're going to need to release it in a cinema for it to count as an actual movie. Okay. Well, that's interesting. Do you use said platforms? I do. Well, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Occasionally, my mate's mum

has a now TV account, but we can occasionally get a bit of a now TV. Yeah, so I really think that, I don't know. I'm the same. I'm more of a prime user than a Netflix user. Oh, really? Yeah.

Similarly, the film is on the. there at the moment a fire. Really? Yeah. They've just released the new James Bond on there, well not the new one, whatever the last one was. The last, oh, with a... And they've also got all the Piers-Brosening ones. Oh, amazing. Oh, so if you want to go for a bond sesh. Do you remember the last time we were here and I

actually got the name of that show wrong? The film wrong, train. Well, it was actually lying, but it was trained. Yeah. So I did a similar thing with Manchester by the sea. Yeah. But I said Manchester on the castle. I don't know why. I don't know. Is there a film that's something on the castle? I mean,

that sounds a bit like Ed Sheeran if he made a movie it would probably be Manchester on the castle That's probably why But yeah That was on there as well

The castle by No Manchester by the sea I nearly said it again then Yeah so Yeah That's a good one And then obviously you got All the Netflix originals as well

Have you Just talking about Amazon Prime while we're on there Have you seen American Gods That is the new Is that a series? Amazon series, brand new. I think there's like one or two episodes out now.

I got to go to the screening of the first episode with some of the cast, and it was amazing, and it's a very weird show. Wait, wait. So I was having dinner the other day at home, and my flatmate was watching what only can be described as a large, well, not a large woman, a woman who was growing in size, as in height and length, eating a man. Not with her mouth.

Not with her mouth. With her other mouth? Yeah. Is that the show? Yeah, that's American God. Okay, yes, I have seen. Well, I saw that 30 seconds. That was some weird.

Yeah, she's like a sex goddess, and she consumes men with her vagina. Yeah. I mean, that, basically, American Gods has seen Game of Thrones and gone, right, sex and violence. Nah, mate, this is sex and violence. Yeah, for sure. But it's really good, it's a really good storyline about a guy who finds out that there are

gods of many kinds walking the earth all in modern day America. You've got the gods of social media. You've got ancient Egyptian gods. You've got... Alex just referenced to himself when I said, God of social media. No, no, it didn't happen. Okay, there's a camera.

Yes, it did. One day, babe. Okay, moving on in the entertainment news. So basically, yeah, go see American gods or check out American gods. Go buy Prime. And I think you don't have to pay for the whole year of Prime now.

You can do it as a monthly... Thank you, Amazon, for catching up with the Russell World. Cheers. Other streaming services are available. Exactly. Oh, do you got the rock? I do. Dwayne Johnson.

Okay, what's Dwayne up to these days? So, and I mean, I hope this is legitimate. This has been quoted from him. But The Rock is considering running for president. Okay. Well, I mean, clearly, as you can see, anyone can do it. Well, but you know what? I don't think it has a bad idea.

No, neither do I. He'll get, yeah, he would be amazing. But I think he would be going up against Kanye West. So it would be like the Rock or Kanye West. Wow. Who do you choose? Exactly. That's basic.

I mean, Kanye, probably same level, in my opinion, as Donald. Yeah. Kanye, emotionally unstable. Yeah, you never know what's going to happen. But I've met Dwayne, and in the brief 20 minutes that I did meet the guy, I feel like we bonded, and I felt like I got a good vibe from him. And I was like, yeah. Is he as big in real life as he is on the shows?

No. Really? No way. I, that was one thing because I think I was picturing like an absolute giant. And I'm a tall girl. I'm like, five, nine. So when I went to meet him, I was like, oh, you're only just shy six foot. Like, what?

Yeah, he's about your height. No wonder he's so big. Yeah. I mean, if I ate that much. and I was this height, and then I'd be that big as well. I thought he was like 6-8. No, no, no, he's not, he's probably 6-1. I mean, it takes a lot of dedication and work, I'll be honest with you.

Also, he's always, like, filming or photographed next to Kevin Hart. That's true. And Kevin Hart was smaller than I even thought. Yeah, that is true. He is very small. He's very small. In fact, just to make things really awkward, I think I didn't make too good a friends with Kevin Hart

because he was sitting on this, well, we had these really high chairs that we did the interview on. This was last year. And when I met them, both of them, Kevin Hart, and Dwayne Johnson. And Kevin was sitting on these chairs and I went to, and I, I didn't know what to say. You know, you get that awkward like,

oh, just think of something to say. Think of something to say. And I sat on the chair and was like, oh, I feel so small when I sat on these chairs. Look at our legs swinging. And he just looked at me like, what? And I was just like, yeah.

I've seen a few interviews with you where you've said things that have been. A little bit awkward. Yeah, taking like the one where you went to five guys. Yeah, let's not talk about that one. I got the nickname five guys girl for quite a while. Americans didn't understand

what five guys was in terms of the restaurant. Which is weird. He thought that Johan was talking about taking five guys out. At the one time. At the one time. But I thought that five guys

the restaurant was an American chain. Yeah, I presume so. Well, it does all American food. Mate. So the Rock is considering running for president, as is Kanye West. So I think on the Twitter day, we should do a Twitter poll

who should run for president. So I think we should do the Rock, Kanye West. And we'll probably stick another random one in there. Yeah. And we're on a poll on our Twitter at Fubar Radio. Make sure you go and let us know what you think. Rock, Kanye West and Baby Spice.

Baby Spice. Yeah, she was my favourite at the time. She was pretty hot. I don't know what. I wonder what she looks like now, though. I'd be quite intrigued. I think the same. Just a little bit more, you know, mummy.

Yeah. A little bit more mummy, baby spice. That's weird. Yeah. Mommy spice. Right, okay dokey. And the last thing is 13 reasons why. Have you jumped on that train?

I haven't yet, no. Okay, you should. It's very, very good. It's a Netflix series called 13 Reasons Why. All about a young girl in high school who commits suicide and she leaves a box of cassette tapes for the 13 people who are responsible for her. Jesus, that sounds heavy. Taking her life.

Yeah, it is quite, but it's a really, really good series. And Selena Gomez was behind it with her mum. And they've revealed there is going to be a second season. But I don't know what about because it did kind of wrap up in a nice story. Yeah, yeah. So I don't know how they're really going to continue that, apart from if they may be, you know, how... It happens again or something like that. Yeah, I don't, yeah, something.

I have a feeling they're probably going to go, they're going to continue it and probably go down the route of maybe like high school shootings or something. Well, yeah, very relevant culturally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I saw the OA, which had things like that as well, which was pretty intense. But it was good. So, yeah, that's where we're up to in entertainment news. You have like a closing thing, like, dinn it, do it? Wait, what was that?

Oh, countdown. Oh, the, d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-da-d-da-da-da. Well, we've got more into-dun news coming up next, but we've got some guests arriving on the show. Because my goodness, look at the time. It's moving on. So we've got our first guest who's going to be on the phone momentarily. So let's just check he's here.

And then I hate technology. We're going to go see if our first guest, Edward Blummel. Eddie. Eddie. We're going to see if he's there in one moment, hold of our phone. Tuesday. Vubar Radio presents.

Boom. Ooh, I like that sexy new voice on the end of that one. That was amazing. Right, we should have Edward on the line. So let's see. If we can... Edward, are you there? Yeah, I am.

Oh, amazing. I love it when it works. Brilliant. Welcome on the show. Thank you for being our first guest. Yeah. How are you doing? We're doing brilliantly.

It's a beautiful day. Isn't it lovely in... Well, are you in London? Where are you back? Yeah, yeah. I'm in London. I'm in a theatre at the moment, so not quite enjoying the sun like I'd like to be,

but you know... Okay. Hey, you win some, you lose some. For sure. And you're here to talk to us about the play, love in idleness. I am, yeah. Yeah, so just let us know a little bit about that.

What's going on? What's going down? So basically it's at the Apollo Theatre on Sharsbury Avenue, and it is a play by a guy called Terrence Rattigan, who was writing in sort of the 40s, and he wrote this play in about 1944, and it's about World War II coming to an end and sort of political and family divisions around the time. It's quite hard, if I'm honest, to sum it up very quickly. but there's a lot going on in it, and it's based around a mother and her son returning from being an evacuee, and while he's been gone, she has found a new lover who is a Tory cabinet minister, and all sorts of hilarity ensues because of that. So, yeah, it's a big subject, and it's very political and very relevant to today. Yeah, I was just saying, like, you could almost just slice it into today,

completely yeah completely it's it's you know he um the character who i play a guy called michael who is who is the son he returns home and um while he's been gone he's got a lot of pretty strong socialist ideas he's like a a young young corbin-esque character and he um he comes home to find not only as his um after his father died as his mum moved on rather quickly but also um to a man very politically different to his views and you know it's they have a they have a terrible time the three of them all together but it's um it's good fun and uh when are you opening your opening so we we had a first preview last night and we're previewing um for a bit but then opening night is on um the 18th of may on Thursday oh amazing it's all it's all going to kick off yeah imminently and uh have you done

a lot of london stage before no not at all this is well This is the first time I've been on the West End, but before this we did, it was the same play. It transferred from the chocolate factory, which is a lovely little theatre in sort of London Bridge area. And it transferred. But other than that, this is, yeah, this play is the first time I've been on the London stage. It's a lot of fun.

It's a bit of a baptism of fire. Yeah, for sure. It's thrilling. I mean, in terms of nervousness, is that going to be stepping up a level as you walk out to that stage? I mean, last night, when we, walked out the chocolate factory where it was is such a tiny audience and it's um really intimate sort of place to perform and then um sort of but because the set and the play is the same i wasn't really expecting it last night when now we're in the apollo which is you know massive sort of 700

ceter and there was a little bit when i walked out of sort of um i fluffed my first slime because i looked out and was like oh so many people i can't imagine what there must be like the pressure yeah it was terrifying but you know it's all you're all the thrill of live theater Exactly. Amazing. That's a really good attitude to have, I think. Yeah. So what if you fluff it? They don't know the script, do they say.

And I mean, little things go wrong here and there from night to night. But when you're doing the same show every night, they're the bits that you start to relish and really enjoy it. People panicking slightly and having to sort of go against what you've been doing the same night for the last, you know, however many performances. Yeah. I mean, in terms of, do you have any tips for someone like, myself or any aspiring actors because I fluff normal life, let alone, um, theater, like

when I'm trying to act or be normal. I, I've loved getting on the tube, getting off the tube, all sorts. Oh, yeah, I mean, I feel like most actors probably fluffed stuff on stage far less than in real life. But, um, but no, I mean, I just, I just sort of, I, My only advice is use the nerves, and I'm always, whenever I'm on stage, whenever I'm feeling nervous, I think that's a good thing. And the best performances always come from the most high pressure and nervous situations, definitely. Sure, yeah. Awesome. And it's a limited season, strictly, to just 50 performances.

Yes, indeed, yeah. All right, so if anyone wants to go and check out Loving Idoness, you better get over to the, really, what, the Apollo Theatre website, I'm assuming. Yes, yeah. it's on, well, there's loads of places that like sell the ticks. I don't actually, all through like different third parties, but yeah, you just have to Google it and it's all there. I mean, 50 performances. Can I, can I just ask? Is that in a row? Yeah, pretty, pretty much. I mean, obviously, we get like one or two days off depending on

the week, a week, but yeah, it's pretty, pretty constant. In terms of, but then, you know, I sort of, that's all, and I'm sort of moaning about that being like, oh gosh 50 performances in a row and then I've got mates that are in stuff for like a year and I go okay cool yeah that's fine that's fine in terms of sort of mental preparation and physical preparation for 50

nights on the trot is it I presume it's one performance a day or is it two performances so we have a matinee two or three times a week depending so sometimes there's two yeah two shows a day for two or three days a week so it is quite full on and it is

the only sort of physical cool thing that has to be stretched as your voice. Your voice will get absolutely destroyed if you're not careful. Is there anything? Do you have hot toddies on set or whatever? Yeah. Well, every actor has their own little, you know, little routine. I do a very, very silly warm-up as far away from everyone as I can find, so they can't hear me doing ridiculous stuff. Other people have their own warm-ups and their own sort of various sort of throat things that they do.

and yeah, you know, everyone has our own method. I always found it ridiculous. I was learning all the different warm-up variations in drama school, and I just found it so unfair that I could work on my voice for hours, but then there would be some old legend actor who smokes 20 a day, and he would just be so on point and do, like, oh, yeah, yeah. I look back to say I'm, I always, people after the shows were always like, oh, do you want to go out drinking?

And I'm always like, yeah, because it affects my voice a lot. if I drink. Yeah. But then you hear about, yeah, people like Richard Harris and stuff like that would have like three pints

at an interval during the play and then come back and then all be smashed the whole time. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, maybe that's because they were older actors

and they sort of, they get used to it, their body attacks, but certainly hasn't yet. I mean, has it always been, even at the chocolate theatre, was it,

were you miced up from the beginning? Oh, no mics at all. Really? Still for now as well? Yeah, no mic here either. So you are trying to fill a big space. But the way that theatre's designed, it makes it easier acoustically than it should be, which is really nice. Anunciate, young man.

Brilliant. Well, thank you so much. And go and do your funny. I'm just like envisioning you backstage now doing all sorts of splits and squats and warmups and everything. Yeah, so you're doing that later. Oh, amazing. All the best of luck for tonight. Thank you so much.

Awesome. Thanks for spending time with us. And just to... Cheers, guys. To recap, it's love in idleness at the Apollo Theatre in London. Go and check it out. Thank you, Edward. Yeah, thank you very much. Cheers, guys.

Bye, bye. Amazing. Would you ever do a theatre play? I would try. I'd certainly like to give it a go. Yeah, I mean, I've never had stage fright, but I do forget lines a lot. I mean, in my job, I present a lot and I forget certain bits. So I'd have to improvise and work on that for sure.

For sure. Yeah, but that's, you know, that's part of it. I get bad live stage fright. Really? Yeah, which is weird, because I want to be on stage so much. much but then it's like a weird thing of and when I actually when I actually jumped off of them doing it

it's fine but before I always talked to me I talked myself out of it before I'm standing in the wings like what are you doing? Are you doing any theatre stuff this year or is it strictly No I had I did recently I did one I found to fill in my friend wrote this fantastic like piece of live theatre and someone dropped out and so

two days before she was like God how could you like be in it and I was like I'll give it a go I haven't been on theatre in about a year so I had one rehearsal and like two days to learn sort of the lines, the routines and everything. It was a short performance play. And we did it in Bethnal Green like three Fridays ago. How did you find it?

And again, once I was in it and once we started the piece, it was amazing. It was called Blue Peter and it was set in the future in like sort of totalitarian Russia. And it was well, Blue Petra really. And it was about. Like if they had like a happy, clappy, blue Peter style thing, but it was really fucked up because there was like Russian guards watching us the whole time. And if we didn't keep the energy up, they would like take us behind a screen and beat us up. And we were teaching kids how to like decorate their gas masks.

And there was a gas attack on the Blue Peter studio in the play and I died. Jeez. But it was getting deep now, but I thought you were going to say it was called Blue Peter. It was set in 2001 and it was on BBC 1. No, no. It was a brilliant, really, really good. No badges for you guys. Written by a good friend, Daisy Smith.

I'm going to shout out. Right. So, yeah, I have done theatre, but I did. The same thing happened right before I was going, what are you doing? I'm not an actor. I'll just go. I'll leave.

Sorry, guys. Sorry for that. I'll just leave. What I'm doing? I'm going to forget my lines. I'm going to fuck it up. I'm going to ruin it. And then you do it and you're like,

that was so fun. And one of the other actors said to me was like, you know what, if you don't terrify yourself every now and then, if you don't do something that absolutely scares the shit out of you, like that is what life is. Yeah, yeah, sure. You just keeping the mundane and the safe and the routine, that's not living.

He was like, terrify yourself once in a while. And I was like, well, okay. That's some good advice. Well, that was good. You know, I did some great advice. Did a lot of nervous poop. So tweet us with what you're going to terrify yourself with next. Yeah.

Maybe you have to get some ideas. Get something on like a bucket list that we should do. Maybe challenge us. Yeah, I want to wrestle an alligator in my lifetime. Really? Yeah, well, okay. Maybe like a blow up one. Oh, come on.

Give me some more credit. I'll do one of those little ones that you find in the pet stores. No, don't beat up mini mini mini pitts. What are they even cool? I can't remember what they're calling. Mini Alligator. So tweet us at Fubar Radio or email in chill at Fubaradio.com and let us know what terrifies you and or maybe challenge us to do something and we might do it on a Facebook live. You never know.

Oki dokey. So have you seen Guardians of the Galaxy? I haven't. Funny story actually. I went into the cinema to watch it with my girlfriend and they were like, you can watch it but you've got to sit separately. that's happened to us twice now. What? Yeah, so it's just always sold out in the Ritsy in Brixton,

so I'm hoping to get a seat in this scene. Definitely, I'm really, Guardian's the United States 2, it was amazing. I watched it with my boyfriend, we were laughing our heads off, like, the whole way through. And I'm loving the soundtrack, because the soundtrack of the first one was just amazing, and this one is not as good, but nearly.

But they have specifically made a song called Guardian's Inferno, and it's got David Hasselhoff. I thought I'd play it for you guys this week, because I've been playing this on a loop on my commute, because it's the best thing. It's really up. We're going to start lifting the spirits up now because it's nearly the weekend, guys.

Let's go David. Let's go David. David Hasselhoff, Guardians Inferno on Backrow and Chill. Boom. That was Heathens by 21 Pilots, which was from the film. Oh, train? I just told you. No, suicide squad.

Suicide squad. And before that, Guardians Inferno from Guardians of Galaxy 2. I'm going to be playing more of Guardians of the Galaxy later in the show. But we've got our next guest. So a huge welcome to the studio. Oh, just one applause. Oh, sorry. There we go a bit better.

Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome. And you are here, both of you, to talk about the play, Becoming, Mohammed. If you'd like to introduce yourself to our listeners. Hi, my name is Anamique, and I'm the director of the play. Amazing. Hello. And I'm Claudia and I wrote the play.

Wow, welcome. Love it. Welcome, welcome. Women in theatre. Loving it. So, Becoming Mohammed, it's going to be on at the Pleasance Theatre in London. Well, it's on now, isn't it? Yeah, it is.

Yeah, amazing, but it's going to be continuing until the 21st of May. So let us know a little bit what it's about, because it's an interesting title, becoming Muhammad. Well, the idea came from a personal experience, actually. My brother converted to Islam in 2007, no, to 2007? That's a long time ago. That's like 10 years ago? No, that's not true. I think it was 2013 or 2014.

Okay. I get all mixed up with dates. I don't know why. Yeah. A couple of years ago, my brother. converted to Islam and I've been studying and working in theatre for quite a while and I just realised there's a show in this. I've been trying out a couple of things but I worked with Claudia a couple of times before and because the story was so close and personal I asked her to

write it for me. Amazing. So is it a drama or is it a comedy or is it both a dramedy? I think it's a dramedy. I think there's definitely a lot of drama in there but because the subject matter could be, you know, so heavy and so serious. I tried when I was writing an Annamic when she was directing it to kind of make it more lighthearted. So there's a few jokes here and there, and our actors are really great at really lifting it up. So I feel both.

Awesome. I mean, if we take it to a more general level, how do you, when you've written something and you've worked so hard on it, how do you then align actors to that? Do you just cast until you find the right one? Or is it like, do you have someone in mind when you're writing? Like, how does that work from? It was a mixture of both.

We're working with an actress called Philippa Carson. She's great. And we've worked with her on several shows. So we knew she was going to be in it. Awesome. And we found our other actress, Nadia, through previous auditions for the show. But we've, well, especially I've never been happy or super satisfied with the meal part. So we had auditions for that quite a couple of times.

Awesome. Who plays that role now? So Thomas, the brother, is played by Jack Hammond. And there's the brother of Amina, which is his girlfriend. And that's played by Jonah Fasel. Okay, awesome. That's amazing. I mean, the subject matter is so relevant, I think, to the modern day.

And it's not something you hear of often, but it happens often. And it's great to bring that into the public eye in the form of theatre, which is how things were portrayed for many years. And it's a little bit of a touchy. subject because a lot of people I think would jump or a lot of people would jump to assume oh if you're in if you're converting to Islam people might assume oh they're becoming terrorists like what's the and they make that like awful jump and it's actually completely fine it's like if someone was becoming Buddhist you wouldn't be that concerned if someone said oh I'm actually

started going to church now I'm Christian you'd be like cool do your thing so so I'm convicted to Islam they'd be like whoa why what's going on are you okay you know how do you're watching How do you work around the stereotypes and people's interpretations of religion within the concept? Well, that was our idea to start with. It was to present a story about conversion that wasn't about terrorism and it wasn't about going to Syria and joining ISIS. And also because that's the real story. There's a story that doesn't have those extremes. And those are the only stories that make it to the media.

Yeah, they're not putting everyone who just becomes happy following Islam. Yeah, exactly. It's not exciting. And so I guess in a way, the kind of the subversion of expectations is just in not having that. And even though there are tensions within the family, they don't have to do with that kind of choices. And Anamique, when it says that you knocked on your,

well, I mean, what you wrote was that you knocked on your brother's door after two years. Is that actually how it happened? You knocked on his door after two years and you just didn't recognize what was in front of you? No, not really. No, it's really, it's inspired by my story. So we try to grab those feelings and ideas and put it in a different story

because obviously this happened over a couple of years and now it had to be an hour and a half play. So there is some verbatim in it. There are some real events, but most of it is dramatized. I saw my brother a lot more, but it was quite a surprise when I found out and it already happened quite a while ago. Yeah, of course. So that's how we tried to capture that initial shock.

Sure. And is your brother, he's still part of the faith? He's still practicing. Yeah, definitely. He's happily married, still lives in Rotterdam. And he came to see the show about a week ago now. Oh, so he's seen it. That was something weird for him. Yeah, how did he feel when, what was his feedback? Was it a bit daunting for you initially? Were you like, oh, nervous? Yeah, it was very nerve-wracking. And both my parents seen it as well. My parents got really emotional. My brother really liked it, and I think he really enjoyed being part of the spotlight.

and we did a post-show talk, which he did it very well. I think he really enjoyed it, and a lot of people have said, we've had some Muslims coming to visit the show, and everyone's just really happy how there's not a moment where the terrorist comes on stage. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, I mean, it must be presented very well.

And am I right in thinking that you do post-show talks regularly? Yes, we do them every Friday, so we have one this evening. Oh, cool. Wow. We have one with a female re-referenced. and with a PhD student from SOA, as we specialised in Islamic conversion. Okay, amazing.

So it's also an educational piece to it as well in the post-show talks and you can really dig into those issues, amazing. I personally this year have learned a lot about Islam because my boyfriend's family are Muslim. So I've like meeting the family and getting to like know and like live with them. I've learned a huge amount because I didn't not know stuff.

I just, it was one of those things where it wasn't that I wasn't interested. It just wasn't in my, like my world. In your bubble. Yeah, I wasn't in my bubble. Now I've like opened my bubble up and it's been really, really positive and the anger that they have against people like terrorism or the media who twist and who don't show the whole thing and they're so angry and they're like, oh we've got no voice. We've got no voice to say

this is not our religion, this is not we believe, everything is absolutely, absolutely, it's like the polar opposite. We believe in you shouldn't harm anyone and you should give to charity and all these positive things. Like, you know when the recent terrorist attack on Westminster? And he didn't really get into the news that like immediately, like something like 6,000 pounds was raised in the mosques, just immediately to help anyone who'd been affected or was hurt or things like that. That's what's so nice about something like this,

is that you can really express it in an art form. And without any stereotypes, without any pressures, you can just express yourself on stage and bring your story to life, which was obviously very inspiring. I've been inspiring for a lot of people as well. So where is it again? So the Pleasant Theatre in North Road in London. And the next stage as well, I think,

because I was talking to a friend who I went to drama school with an actor called Wajar Lee and he is Kurdish and he always, we had a joke in drama school, you're going to play a terrorist, mate, you're going to play a terrorist.

And that's what he ended up to go and do and he ended up recently being like the main guy on the BBC. and he played the main kind of baddie on that, which was very weird to watch because he's not a baddie at all. He's absolutely sweetheart. He grew this huge beard.

It didn't even look like my friend. But we were sort of saying, right, the next stage, I think, is that if the media won't have, it won't allow these good stories to come through, then the next thing is for characters in movies and TV shows. And to give people from Middle Eastern ethnicities, give them really positive characters, not just the baddies, like flip it all on its head a little bit,

I can't, so I'm absolutely waiting for the film world in Hollywood to kind of catch up on that. Yeah. That's my like kind of wish for Hollywood over the next couple years. And so this is the way, this is fantastic. And in your post-show talks, have you found any sort of really inspiring stories of people who have converted and people have come to you and being like, this is actually amazing that I can now talk about this and be opening about my faith and my conversion. Have you experienced that in sort of person-to-person post-talks? Yeah, we, well, the woman who is. on tonight, Miriam, we met her before and she's a British-born woman. She was born in Cyprus, I think, and she reverted or converted quite a while ago. We met her a few weeks ago and she has a really

inspiring story about the faith helped her and how it's been a completely positive change in her life. And she's going to be on tonight, as well as, as Annamic mentioned, these PhD students who studied specifically conversion in the West to Islam. And even meeting her, and through her having access to the lectures at Sores, who are attended by both Muslim students and non-Muslim students were interested in the subject. Everyone has been quite responsive and, yeah, it's been quite excited, I think. So when people come to watch the show,

do they automatically come to see the post talks, or is that? Well, we have a little five-minute break after the show, just like a little new break. But we do hope people stay and come and watch the post-show talk. And so far, we've done a couple of workshops after the show as well. Just having a little chat with our we have a cultural facilitator called the Bia Islam

so for most people that's the first experience of having questions asked by a girl in a hijab which is really funny to see but we feel like a lot of people want to stay and ask questions because you're confronted with things that you might have not known and

yeah there's been so many positive stories from both people with faith or without faith it's just a family drama really it's about family more than anything so everyone can relate to it. Yeah, that's good. Like relatable, as long as it's relatable, then people are going to engage with it and they're going to come down and check it out.

That's really cool. And just sort of in the future, what's still, I know at the moment you're like absolutely in the thick of this, but have you got any other projects or anything in the pipeline that you want to finish this year or head on to next year? We have a couple of ideas. We're just going to choose on which one to focus first, but we have our company together. Oh nice. Oh, awesome. Yeah.

And you're both so young, which is brilliant. I think we look younger. But thank you. But no, you've been really young. So I was like, oh, the writer and the director are coming in. And I was like, these girls? Cool. This is cool.

Is there going to be any more iterations of this? Or are you going to sort of, are you looking to finish it here? I know you might not know the answer to that now and see how it goes. Well, we're really hoping at least to transfer to some place. But our dream is to sort of tour it around and also hit those regional. theaters where I think we can engage a lot more people. And we had some interest in Cape Town, didn't we? Yeah, we had interest from Cape Town.

And because I'm from the Netherlands and Claudius from Italy, we've had requests from there for translation and stuff. So we really hope it's going to work out. Would you ever consider making it into a film? Sure. People have said that, yeah. Yeah. Because I think that would be really, because I love theatre,

but it is so time contained, because it's only if you can get to it at that certain point, Whereas if you make a film, you can be forever and never end the next generation and so on and so forth. Exactly. That would be cool to maybe like think about whether that could translate into a film. I think it sounds like it could for sure. Sounds. Super exciting.

Well, thank you so much for coming in. It's been fantastic. So that's Becoming Mohammed at the Pleasant Theatre in North London. Seem to be global. Soon to be global movie. Come on Hollywood. Any Hollywood producers out there? Come on.

Ding! Ideas. Right, brilliant. Okay. So every week I play, songs that are related to movies or anything whatever what what what and this one is a is a little bit long it's more of a story than a song what is it it's from an animation you know when you go and see disney animations they show a pre at little animation sure yeah which absolutely i always like

sometimes like that better than the film so this one's called lava have you seen it no no no and it's about um it's about this island it's this island that's really alone in the middle of the ocean and he's singing about he wants to like someone to love and then this other little island comes along. I won't ruin it. Just listen. So this is going to be a bit of an odd song, but it's the middle of background. I'm going to come back for more entertainment news, more guests, film reviews and our Facebook live. This is about Rowland Jill.

Let's go. We actually performed that in secret. That was me and Alex Hoban. Shaking my booty. Yeah. In between that. decided to hula hoop around the studio. It was good.

It's good. It's on my Snapchat. Yeah. You follow Johanna on Snapchat and you'll see me attempting my hula hoops. Oh, the hula hoops. Right. A little bit more entertainment news because there is just so much going on in the world. I think we should have a little chat.

Right. So what's happened this week? There's not that many films coming out of the Mo. I think everyone was just basically too scared to go up against Guardians of Galaxy. Yeah. So there's not a lot out. So what are we dealing with at the moment? Obviously we've got guardians.

We've got guardians. But this week we had the Guy Ritchie movie, which the name of it is just got out of my head. I don't know either. And it's got Charlie Hunnam, David Beckham. Oh, okay. King Arthur, there we go. There are so many there.

I was like, he's got a sword. He's got a long sword anyway. As soon you said Beck's, I was like, I know which one. I know. So apparently Charlie Hunnam has addressed whether or not he's going to be the next James Bond. Okay. Interesting.

What was his thoughts? Because he was stopped by Conan. The barbarian? Not the barbarian. The talk show host. Oh, yes. Of course. That's a guy.

And he said, he said three things to say about it. He goes, I can say two things. I'm English. I look devilishly handsome in a suit. And number three is nobody's called me about playing James Bond. So I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. That's annoying. I mean, the first two.

let's be honest most of us are that English and everyone looks good in a suit people do look devilishly handsome in a suit even I do I put on a tux and I'm like I can imagine I work in Moorgate so you just see suits all the time and it becomes a bit generic but as soon as I put one on

I'm like oh I could be Bond wow yeah well I've always had that dream but I think that's a bit past me now no you're Bond like the original bonds they're all like in their 40s yeah exactly I mean

When I'm 40, I'll probably still look like this. With a snapback and some trainers. Well, yeah, but I'm also on three months of facial hair growth at the moment. So am I. So am I. Three months, yeah. And as you can see, doing well.

Nothing's happened. I mean, I've been trying to grow November since three November's ago. What? Still not happening. Yeah, still not happening. Well, it's all right. Your hair will come in, don't right.

Has everyone got any tips? On how to grow hair. I'm trying to like, well, I have to help my boyfriend D. hair. Geez. Oh yeah. He's one of the hairiest people ever ever met.

But he works it. That's the thing. I feel like if I had hair, I mean my hair and my head's going anyway, which is why I'm wearing a hat. But if I had hair in my face, I just wouldn't it wouldn't suit me.

I'm all about that baby face. Yeah, you're a baby face boy, so that's fine. That's it. I mean, wow, Charlie Hunnam. I mean, that's humble to say I look devilishly handsome in a suit. That is really modest.

Modest. That's very modest of you, Charlie. Okay, dokey. And also, well, there's been a bit of a chit-chat about whether or not David Beckham should have acted in a movie because he's a footballer turned celebrity icon, now turned actor. And Guy Ritchie has defended him and saying he's a fabulous actor, but everyone else who's seen the film has slated him. Now, I haven't seen the film, but I know Lucy Patterson, our resident film reviewer, has seen the film.

So she's coming in in about 20 minutes and she's going to let us know her opinion. And I trust Lucy. She'll run her through it. Yeah. I mean, Bex must have improved because I actually rewatched the other day when him and Victoria were on the Ali G show. Oh, that was good, though. That was very good. But he wasn't very good at acting.

But he wasn't that actor, yeah. But he was just, you could tell he was like very embarrassed and nervous. For sure. But I mean, he's like, he's not even, I don't know. David, really? David Beckham? Why? Bring back Ali G though. Jesus.

Yeah, Ali G in a film. He did Trumpins viewers. well which is hilarious back in the day when you did he yeah you got to check it out I didn't even see that where is the internet show me the internet now so wow Ali G interviewing Trump the buzz oldron one when he was like so buzz what was it like to walk on the sun as in yeah yeah it's the moon that just got me that is amazing yeah Ali G was actually he gave me a lot of inspiration when I'm interviewing sort of celebrities okay yeah yeah he gives me you know bit of some ideas to have the balls to just do something

wacky or weird or rude. Exactly, yeah. How does that go down most of the time? Sometimes it backfires and sometimes they just, they don't, they don't get it. Don't clock on. And sometimes they can be really generous and they can help you with being really funny. A huge Jackman, one of the most generous people.

Really? In terms of comedy? He could tell that I was trying to do a silly interview and he just played with me and it was fine. Other people, like, maybe I won't drop names, but they didn't play ball. Really? Jeez. And I just looked like that. So, thanks for that celebrity.

Thanks. No name. You know who you are, no name. They're definitely listening as well. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Okay, so I really want to see this film, King Arthur, because I do like Guy Ritchie's movies,

and I'm going to, like, pretend that, well, you know, David Beckham's in it, but I have seen a photo of him, like, from the press release, and they've, like, prostheticed his face, so it doesn't look quite like David Beckham. I think he's got sort of a scar on a fake nose. Okay. So then again, what's the first?

Point. Yeah, exactly. It wasn't the love I, don't Beckham. Well, maybe he's just trying to, like, go into other things now. He didn't become a football coach, or he didn't need to, I guess. And I think maybe he's got that midlife crisis now. I know, but he literally hasn't got any more skin left to tattoo. Yeah.

He might just be like, look, midlife crisis, let me get prosthetic nose on. Give me a scar and see what goes down. Yeah, no, yeah, right. Maybe he gets a scar in the film, you know. Do you know what? I, ladies listening out there, are you a fan of the Beckham? Because I honestly do not fancy. the guy. He doesn't float my boat. I do.

No, I don't. He's not one of my faves and my boyfriend does not believe me. He thinks that I'm lying out of my ass and I'm like, honestly, honestly, I do not fancy David Beckham. So I think it's a men's when you're young, well, when my generation was young, my generation. My generation. 24. When I was growing up, it was like

oh, David Beckham was this amazing, incredible footballer and really good looking and he was dating a spice girl. Yeah. So we were like, he's got something. He's the man. So it's also like, for someone like Jude or your boyfriend, he must just be like, look, come on, don't lie to me. He was the number one footballer in the world at one point.

He had Victoria Beckham, who, let's be honest, was better than Sporty Spice. And also, he's like a millionaire with these kids who are now Instagram famous, obviously, because of their dad. But he's just so good. He's a great guy. Yeah. Because none of those things appeal to me, I don't like football, so I would never want to date a football or anything to do with football.

Money doesn't appeal to me. And I mean, yeah, okay, he's got some abs. But have you heard the guy talk? Yeah. What's your thoughts on Vicky? It's a bono killer. Vicky Bex. Vicki Bex.

Well, apparently, they're not even a couple. Really? Sorry to shatter the dreams. Word on the street. I heard it here first. It's a business. Okay. I've heard some insider knowledge.

I mean, it's hard. It'd be hard not to, like, you know, when you get into bed, unless you're sleeping in other rooms, it's like, oh. hard not to with Vita Rebecca. She's beautiful. She's beautiful. But, yeah, apparently it's more of a business empire than a relationship. Well.

Which is a bit sad. But, you know, at most, a lot of couples are actually not real couples on the internet or in FAMO scenarios. Yeah, but we are. But we are. As in we're not a couple. We're not a couple. But we each have others.

Yeah, but we are. We're a couple. Oh, this is awkward, Alex. We're not, we're not. Hang on. When I invited you on the show, I did not mean. Oh, right. I thought that was that light, the green light.

Oh, good, no. No, we both have other afts who do things online with us. Yeah, exactly. Well, well, yeah. That sounds a bit wrong. Not so much. Comedy things. Right, moving on.

So, Twin Peaks. The first actual themes from the new Twin Peaks has been launched. Are you excited about Twin Peaks? Did you miss the boat last time? Twin Peaks. I'm trying to look through my notes. Nope, I don't know anything about that. Okay, Twin Peaks.

It used to be this, like, kind of cult. series in the 90s and they've brought it back after like 20 years 25 years and they've refilmed it and I think it's obviously a sequel series but there is like such a cult following behind it and now with the internet as well it's like well so I think you can watch it on Netflix or definitely somewhere online because I watched it online however it was a little bit creepy it's about a girl who gets murdered all these things about like death and murder and stuff but a girl gets murdered and it's like the following the sort of like the police people

trying to find in this little town. Okay. There is some mysterious things. They find video footage and things like that. It's really good but they're freaky things happen up in Twin Peaks and it's not one of those things. It's not like a, it's not horror slasher or really jumpy thriller but there are some things that just they, I don't want to watch it on my own basically. Okay, sure. And I was single

for too long to watch it on my own so I need to maybe like roping the boy or someone and say or does anyone want to come and just come around my house. This is just a shout out and watch Twin Pigs with me. That's a dangerous move. Tweet me out of Food Bar Radio. Well, I would watch it, but I've currently got something, well, my schedule is full until the new Game of Thrones.

Your Donald's in Cards full. Yeah, I'm re-watching the whole of Game of Thrones. From the beginning? Yeah. And I'm currently behind a schedule by approximately three seasons. So I'm going to have to keep going until... When is it June or July? I think it comes out.

It's late, isn't it? It's really late. Do you know that they're writing Four Game of Thrones spin-offs? Really? Four? That was some news For each character. We dropped that news last week

but I'll just in case you missed it I'll re-reliterate, can't say that word. They have hired like the top writers. They've got like Jane Goldman who did like kick-ass and Kingsman and she's, they've each been given

I'm assuming they've been given like a strand or a story or a character and they're going to do four spinoffs potentially. They've also got the writer for Mad Men. writer for, I can't remember off the top of my head, but there's like four proper, absolute. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, Game of Thrones, July 16th. Oh, nearly my birthday. Yeah, and mine, 21st of July's mine. Oh, 30th. Oh, you're closer than you would think. You'd have a party. Exactly. No, but yeah, so actually the first few seasons of Game of Thrones reminds me of Hunger Games.

For sure. So many people are dying. They build you up. They make you fall in love with a character and then slash his head. Ned Stark's chop down. Everyone else is chopped down, spoiler alert. Yeah. But yeah, it's July 16th, tune in.

Make sure you watch all the seasons before, otherwise you won't have a goose what's going on. Yeah, you're like, who are the world's people on? No, I love a Game of Thrones, and I just love the fact that it's like, it's like, fake historical, but like the seven kingdoms. If anyone is like, oh, I've never really got into it or whatever. Exactly. It's just brilliant.

The characters are gorgeous and it's fantastic. A lot of people are like, oh, I'm not into fiction. Who's your, it's not fiction. Yeah, it's not in real life. Who is your favorite character or favorite storyline? Deneres Targaryen. Okay. Yeah, she's pretty cool.

You know why. Mother of dragons. She's got dragons, number one, which is awesome. Yeah. She's got two great dragons. And another dragon. She got three great dragons. She got some great dragon eggs.

She got some great dragon eggs. She's, yeah, she's great. No, she's definitely the favorite because I'm hoping that she's going to bring her dragons. She's going to bring her two dragons and the other dragon. And then she's going to bring her two dragons and the other dragon. and then she's going to come over and conquer Westros. She's definitely... Unless I've got that wrong.

Yeah, I think so. I think she's definitely... She ain't going to die, basically. We all know this. Well, she can't. People try burning her. She's mother of dragons. She's the mother of fucking dragons.

Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I think I like her as well, actually. I like her story. I like the fact that she started off so, um, like, innocent and princessy. And now she's like, Queen! Love it. One night with Col Drogo. Oh, my God.

I think he's got up in my favorite character. Yeah, suddenly you're a dragon queen. People, you know, David Beckham, uh-uh, Carl Drogo, uh-huh. Jeez, that's because he's hairy. He's, yeah, I think I've got a type, you know what I mean? Yeah, I can see the comparison. Yeah, for sure. Big hairy-bearded guy, done.

Okay, dokey, so Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville is going to play Roll Dahl. They're going to do a Roll Dahl biopic about the best-selling children's author. So, I mean, they've done lots of Roll Dahl movies, like the BFG. Okay. Matilda Like, Roll Dahl was actually Probably one of my favourite

children's author What a legend Like, oh I used to love The Twits Did you ever read the Twits? Yeah, I did I think I did I haven't read much

In my life As you can probably tell audience But I think the Twits Was one of them I just love Roll Dahl stuff

But I don't actually know anything About the actual Roald And apparently You don't even We've been saying His name wrong

For like What is it? Rold Dahle Roll Dahl Roll doll We say Roll doll But apparently Roll doll's granddaughter said

By the way Everyone's saying it wrong It's actually Rail or something I don't know I love those words Where people always get it wrong Well like

You know those videos Where you see people Actually pronouncing things How they look Like the Irish ones I actually have a story About calling someone Cio Ban

Okay go on Yeah well no It was just in a client meeting I went into In my actual day to day job And met somebody And I was like Lovely to meet you Ciban

I'm Alex and they were like, it's, it's Chavon. I was like, are you sure? Yeah, it's one of those things where you're like, are you sure that that is your name? Yeah, recently I think I saw, maybe was it on Unilad or something? Potentially.

A guy going through all the Irish names, if you said them how they're written. And it was amazing because it was like, yeah. Yeah, like Chavon and all the others. Or like, yeah, like very normal names, like, Ian. It would be like, I'm like, I can't do it. Yeah, it's like, I can't do it.

If anyone has any, like, weirdly spelt names, then tweet us at Fulbar Radio. We will shout you out. We're going to try and pronounce your name on the radio. Yes, please do that. Or email in chill at fulbaradio.com. Because I have a bit of a name that people can't really pronounce. So it's Jihana, like Jihana. But people read it and they're like, Johana, Jan.

Are you Swedish? Like, it's weird. People are scared to say my name and I can tell. They're like, hi, you're. the girl. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, go on to say it, Jahana. Even my own family, like, my brother can't before,

but he calls me Jan. Really? Which is Jahana, Jahana, Jana, Janah, Janah, Jan. It's like, literally, it's like, it's the most, like, laziest way you can ever say my name is Jan. I've got a name that people struggle to call, like struggle to say.

My name's Alex Hoven, but for some reason everyone calls me Joe Tasker. Yes, okay. This actually happened yesterday. I went out and filmed with another online comedian called Joe Tasker. but you guys look absolutely the freaking same. You're like twins. I'd request a DNA test, I think, because this isn't the first time. You're missing a bro. You're missing an actual brother.

People, like the bigger pages on Facebook when they post videos of either of ours, and they always tag the wrong person in. Or there's just hundreds of comments like, oh, that's not Alex Hoban. That's actually Joe Tasker's video. So if you could please credit the right person, that'd be great. Copyright reports. I'm like, no, it's actually me. It's actually you.

But I can't believe that that happened because no one's ever recognized me. They've always recognized me as Joe. So they're like, oh, hello, Joe. And I'm like, hello. Because he's northern. So I do his northern accent to them and try and play it off. But this one time they thought I was with you. Yeah.

So me and Joe were out filming in London yesterday in Leicester Square, top location for anyone doing a viral video. And we got a couple of fans came up for pictures. And then this morning, Alex texts me because the picture of me and Joe was actually tagged me and you. Yeah, exactly. It was tagged Johanna and Alex. when I was hundreds of miles away. Yeah, this is a...

Do you know what? This is a good thing. Because in the future, if you guys ever need, like, a stand-in or a body double, or, like, when you get really famous and you need someone to, like... You guys can, like, confuse paparazzi and stars.

Exactly. I mean, he is, like, me, but better-looking, younger and more unique, because he's got this little eye thing that he's got going on. He's got a little... I will struggle there with my double chin and my receding hairline.

He's just got... He's the whole... lot of hair. He got a lot of hair, chiseled jawline. I'm like, hello. And people know.

Everyone's like, you're the son of Mr. Bean. I'm like, well, thank you very much. He's a great comedian, but he's also very ugly. Oh,

do you remember earlier in the show when we were talking about the Rock being president? Yeah, what's going on? Right, so we've just put out, we actually put out a Twitter poll and we've said, 64% would like The Rock,

36% would like Kanye. Yeah. Suck it. Kanye. A bit worrying that more people than I thought. Yeah. I mean, I've heard that Kanye is actually in the mountains at the moment recording his new mixtape.

Sure he is. Something like that. Twin Peaks. Yeah. He's doing something in the mountains and everyone's wondering what it is. Right. Okay, we've heard a tweet in, so from Maria Armadio, who says, I voted the rock, but I would also like to say Kanye would be preferred over the

twat in the office right now. Yes. Couldn't have better myself, Maria. Yeah, well, well done. Yeah, exactly. You tell her. I mean, Kanye would be better, but it would be weird. I think it would be like the national anthem would be all like trap music and stuff.

National anthem, everyone stands up, Hansel and Chess, move it, make it on the... Right, da, da, da, da, da, da, America is so great. Brilliant. Right, yeah, okay, so keep going over to our Twitter at Fubour Radio. If you want to get involved in that poll, it's still open. Let us know The Rock or Kanye West for president 2020. To be fair, just anyone, anyone but... the Trumpster would be good right now.

Talking of like remixes and music and stuff, I've been looking online and trying to find remixes, some cool remixes of either TV show theme tunes or old school things. So, you know, singing in the rain, one of the most classic movie songs ever. And I found a cool remix to it, so I thought to play it right now. Back row and chill.

Foo Bar Radio presents the Hannah Whitton show. The way that this game works is that Abby has got a list of sex positions. And then we have to basically guess if it's real or not. Press a price. Well, if you can't spell it, it's real. That's definitely real. You need to make that up. You want to try to describe that?

Boobes in the air. The thing you have to be careful about this is that this looks like a position where the penis could quite easily fall out. And it could be not just vaginal. Any holes a goal? Am I right, lads, lads. Every Wednesday. From 6 p.m.

Fuba Radio. Fubar, right, well, I really want to, I love Hannah Witten. Yeah. I really want to, I love Hannah Witten. But I think I really want to listen to Hannah Witten. Oh, is she on this radio station? She is. That was, that was just her show.

And then also, I was in Iceland recently and they have an app, actually. This is a true story. It tells you how far back you're related to the girl you meet and the night out because everyone in Iceland is related. Yeah, so there's only 300,000 people in Iceland. So instead of Tinder,

you have whatever this app is called, where you... How much are we even Hey, can I buy you a drink? Yes. Well, let's just check on this app to make sure we're five generations apart. We don't want to...

So, how mad is that? Anyone from Iceland? Shout out. It's a wicked country. Anyway, over to you. Last go. One more. One more. Okay. My hand is still, but look at this. Okay, I think we've done all the questions. So maybe you have to think of one off the top of your head. Okay.

DJ bonnet Yeah exactly for sure Cheese night Cheese night right So welcome welcome Lucy is our resident Film reviewer

And this is the part of the show Where we talk about Things we've seen What's coming up And warn you guys Whether something is a big hit Or a big miss Or a big shitter

We don't like those Yeah don't have big shits Avoid the term Yeah Basically So what have people been watching this week that they can either like talk about or

slate or rate I guess I'm very very very excited about the one thing that I want to talk about this week okay I went and saw King Arthur on Wednesday how good is it oh my God it's so so good obviously for people that don't know this is Guy Ritchie's

new film starring Charlie Hunham Duke Lord Jiam and Honsu loads and loads of different people basically everybody that ever came into contact with Guy Ritchie is in the film, which is lovely. And it's the origin story of King Arthur, you know, the whole sword in the stone

delio. Yeah. But obviously it's reimagined because it's Guy Ritchie. And I was slightly concerned, I must have it, because I was thinking, how the hell is Guy Ritchie, with his signature way of making and writing films, going to translate to that sort of time. Yeah, like, Robin Hood style stuff. And at first, I was watching it, I was like, oh, no, this is really weird.

But within minutes, I was absolutely enthralled by it, and it is just brilliant. It is absolutely amazing in every single way. There were a couple of things that I was cringing at, but I just don't care. You know, and I read reviews after I watched it because I don't like to sully my opinion with other people's bullshit. So I make my own opinion, and then I read everybody else's.

And Variety and Rolling Stone, we're just ripping it to shreds. And I just thought, you miserable bastards. Did you actually watch the same film that I watched? Yeah, yeah. You know, it's so much fun, and it's made beautifully. It's visually amazing.

The acting is obviously brilliant. Duke Law is the most evil bastard. ever and he's so good at it he plays um the the king's brother okay um because obviously we Charlie Hunham doesn't know his king Arthur that's the whole origin story with the sword and the throne and things like that but Jude law is the current king basically his uncle and he's so evil and so good at it you know because in recent years he's just been you know we've seen him in the holiday and two fruity little things where he's being lovely or you know some kind of hero but this is just a complete bastard he could be a dick so good at it so

good at it. Charlie Hallam's accent obviously was ropey but to be fair the poor man doesn't even know his own accent is now. But what is Charlie Hannam's accent? He was born in Newcastle, raised a bit further down south, but when you spend seven or eight years on a TV show putting on that dodgy American

accent, I'm so sorry, Charlie. Yeah, so he's a bit here there and all over. It's terrible, but then everybody uses their own accent in it, so it just doesn't matter. The action sequences are brilliant. The score is quite experimental and eclectic and Some of it you think that doesn't really belong there.

But then once you get into it, it just brings it home. Yeah. And the CGI is brilliant. And I just can't go on about this enough. I've written a massive blog post about it. So, you know, go onto Twitter, find my blog, and go and read it, and you will want to see it. Yeah, for sure. And what's your Twitter handle so people can find your blogs?

It's very good. It's popcorn and PNM. Popcorn and PNM. When I read that, I think popcorn and PMS and I'm like, Oh, my! What is PNM? That is, pick a mix. Oh, Pick a mix.

Although, now you've just ruined it by saying, but I'm going to P-M-A-M-A. That literally is my laugh. Shout out to Yellowberry Jelly Snakes. Excellent. But P-M-I, P-M-S, oh, wait, Picamix, there we go. I got a vomiting virus from Pick-A-Mix once. No way. It's because those people just put their hands in.

Yeah, because people putting their hands in and stuff. Oh, no. I worked in a cinema for one night as an actor on Halloween, dressed up as a vampire, and we were supposed to jump out and scare the shit out of people. Excellent. Which was a very fun job. But at the end, they were like, just take what you want. from the pick-a-mix so obviously I went in I went in hard and then I went to a about like

it takes a couple of hours for it to set in vomiting virus so then I went to a house party and I literally was like 10 minutes at the house party went upstairs everything was coming out of everywhere I like came down the stairs vomited all in the hallway and everyone was like she's wasted I was like no I haven't even had to drink I've been working and had it's Pickermix

coming out The vampire at the cinema. With the piccumic, you know, the piccimics and the cinema on the vampire thing. That's it. And I looked, um, because... It was like she's still wasted. I was definitely drunk. I was like a zombie vampire.

So obviously, I looked like shit and then I was vomiting as well. So people thought it was all, they were, one guy came and laughed at me and I thought it was like part of my costume. It was like, I'm on the floor like, bleh. Like, no, it's to help me. Don't cry wolf now because if you were sick, then I wouldn't call them. Exactly. You're like, I'm going to shit myself.

You need to get me out of it. Oh, well, I'm never having picking me again. So, yeah, so now I'm a little bit with that in my mind, when I go to the cinema, I'm like, you know what, I'll just buy a bag from St. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, living, live in, live in. Oh, I've got to say Yolo.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But apparently, Yolo, just to veer off for a second. Yeah. It was actually supposed to be the opposite of, you know, people would like do something crazy and they go, yeah, well, you only live once. Yolo. It's supposed to be the opposite.

It's like, yeah, well, you only live once. so be careful. Oh, really? All right? It should be, it should be Yolo, drive safely. Yeah, that's completely not like YOLU.

That's stupid. To your last effort, which was scare yourself. Do something. Yeah. You can scare yourself in a safe environment. No.

You can do that. You can. Well, I mean, that wasn't safe. No. I know. I mean, to be honest with you, I did not sign any disclaimer. I think we could,

we've probably like, yeah, the health and safety regulations. I'm not going to like the fact. Yeah. The government. The government. The government. of the radio. Yeah, they're all watching eye.

Right, so, okay, I'm going to go and see off, that's on my... Yes, do. Everybody go and see it. The only thing I have to ask about is because I've heard loads of people being like, David Becker. I refuse to talk about it. And I even said, the last line of my blog is like, David Beckham is a football player, not an actor, leave him alone. Yeah.

You know, it wasn't, to be fair, to be honest, I was cringing so much, I didn't look at it. I didn't watch him, I listened to him, but I had my phone in front of my face because I could not look at him. But why is he, why was he in the film film then? Well, go, Richard, just puts his mates in films, didn't it? That's just what he does. Okay, so could you recognise him?

Was it completely obvious? You could. And my, I went with my housemate, and he, like he always does, he's an incessant tapper. He taps me and whispers things in my ear while watching films. And I knew what he was going to say, and I was like, how do you not know that David Beckham is in it? Yeah. You know, and he was really, really shocked.

And I was like, he's been everywhere all over the internet, everyone's been slagging it off, you know? And you could, even though he did have, you know, really dodgy makeup on and, like, proper brown teeth, you could see it was him and you could hear it was him as well and it was quite aggressive what he did like the lines he was given to deliver were quite Game of Fronzy

Yeah you know it was quite threatening you know He's so sweet He doesn't seem right Yeah his voice is just not right Yeah but it was over within about 30 seconds And I was quite pleased about that So I saw Well I caught up with a movie

That came out ages ago but I watched Split Oh what did you think Yeah which I really liked And I didn't really know it was made on such a low budget. It was made on nine million pounds, which for Hollywood is like not a lot. And so, yeah, that was just,

but it made back something like 250 million. I'm not surprised. Jesus, what an investment. Yes, they paid out nine, got back like 245. It's crazy. Somebody's having a good night out. For sure. And so they said that the next split two is going to be like a lot bigger budget

and they're going to really go to town. And Samuel Jackson and Bruce Willis have signed on so it's going to be a big old. It's like a crossover type thing. Yeah, because if you haven't seen the movie, a split is actually a surprise sequel to the movie Unbreakable from years and years ago. And I really enjoyed it.

So the premise of split is a guy who, three girls who get kidnapped by this guy who has split personality disorder and he has 23 different persons living inside one body. And well, there might be a 24th. That's what the film's about. Imagine that playing a role. Well, yeah.

He was amazing. He was amazing. He was absolutely incredible. Every single character, I fully believe, I was just watching him, just be. And I was just like, you are everything. There was a point as well when he was talking to his therapist. And he goes from the nice sort of semi-normal one to the real evil bastard. And all he does is slightly change his facial expression.

He doesn't move. He just does something with James McAvoy is a revelation. You can tell he's a different character. Absolutely amazing. It's so good. It's a character pretending to be another character. A bit of a mind fuck. This one, but you can tell.

And anyway, so he was up for an MTV, like a movie award, and he didn't win it, and Emma Watson won. Okay, was that the unisex one? Emma Watson won over James McAvoy and split. And I'm like, where is the flipping Oscar? Yeah. Where is the Oscar? He's brilliant.

Exactly. I don't even have 23 words in my vocabulary, let alone 23 pounds. Exactly. But, yeah, he was just brilliant. I really like the story and the subplot and the whole back story to the main girl was really good quite really dark but brilliant

so I really I completely missed the boat when that came out in the cinema and I watched it and that was great but maybe we would watch it with someone because I was watching it with two friends and we all jumped on the sofa like quite jumping I think I actually went to cinema on my own for that one as usual brave girl I did shit myself on my face it was creepy that's why you're on your own

yeah everyone knows that's what happens I've got two I've got this one and I got this one. These are my two personalities. This one is when you accidentally turn the front camera on. And then this one is when I see a girl on the street and try to get that jaw line.

You know what I mean? You're right. You're like, how you're doing, are you cool? What are you saying? Then she sees me on my bus later on. You got to keep that double chin away, fellas. You know what I'm saying? I've actually like photoshopped a double chin out of a...

Really? No way. How'd you do that? I learned how to Photoshop. Oh. Oh. Anyone that knows, anyone wants to give me a workshop, hit me up. I photoshopped my jaw different. This was in the days before automatic filters.

Now it does it all for you. But back in the day, I had to Photoshop all my profile pictures. What is this? I've never heard of any of these things. What? I'm just always there with a double chin. No, you've got to get on Snapchat. Get the filters.

Android filters now. Like, the iPhone need to step up because Android filters. I don't know Android. Yeah. One thing that I watched on Netflix, which I've been waiting for for a while because it caused a bit of controversy, was casting John Bonnet, which is a documentary...

Well, I didn't really get what the concept was. It was very weird. Until I started watching it, I was like, eh? For a while. I was like, what is this? So it's a documentary film about the whole awful murder of John Bonnet Ramsey in 1996, which is weird because I remember this, because she was the same age as me. Really?

Yeah. And I remember I was six years old, and my mum, and I remember watching the news and my mum saying, oh, this little girl's been, she was a beautiful beauty pageant princess. She was in the toddler pageants and somebody killed her and there was so much dodgy stuff went on around

It just They said was it the parents Was it the mum? Was it the dad? Was it the brother? So they've made this Netflix Very controversial and they've done it In a bit of a weird way

So they've They got amateur actors They did a casting call in her hometown And they got amateur actors To come forward and play the roles Of the family and the police officer And it's played by And you see the audience

additions of these amateur actors and some of them are like, my good. And some of them are brilliant. You're like, okay, you, you know, X factor. And then they're, but they're talking about how personally maybe they were affected because they're from the hometown. But then they got like, they were saying, oh, there was no way that they thought maybe the brother might have, because the girl died from head wounds. Wow.

They found her in the basement of the house. And there was a three-page ransom note. Jesus. She died from head wounds, but there was also. signs of other sexual abuse and things they thought oh maybe it was the brother but the brother was about nine or something

and they said oh he couldn't he wouldn't have had the strength but in the video they audition the boys and they give them they give them a torch and a watermelon and they say can you and they these some of the boys destroy the watermelon so you're like you know what nine year old boys probably could have done that probably could

harm someone if they actually cared that is madness don't dispute so check it out it's a weird one you know it's not it's just an interesting one but it is interesting and it does what you think. If you didn't know the story of John Bonnet Ramsey because there are so many things that went wrong and people

say, total bodd job really. It was shameful. People were walking in and out of the crime scene so all of the evidence couldn't be used. Yeah, so no one's ever really solved it. It's one of those mystery murders. Poor little girl and she's absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful girl. She was just like perfection little Barbie girl. Wow. Glundering lips a lot, yeah.

So that was my Netflix watch for the week. Have you been watching anything, Alex? As I said, Game of Thrones. I obviously finished Broad Church a few weeks ago. Oh, yeah, that was good. Did that one, that was good. But not in terms of any of this contemporary stuff that you're talking about. I'm kind of lost in this conversation.

I think it's because we have to watch something. Yeah, we've got to go into the dips. I'm going to start watching stuff. One thing, oh yeah, I did watch and I was going to play for you guys was Alien Covenant, which I believe is out today. Oh, okay. which was actually really super good because I didn't like Prometheus

and I'm not... Yeah, neither did I actually. I've like semi-watched some of the alien like I know like the standard scenes and whatever but I haven't really totally watched it and then about this one I went along to review because I was going to interview some of the actors from it and it was just really, really good

and I found myself... I went into the cinema like super sleepy and it woke me up. Lovely. It was good. It was filmed beautifully and there was lots of just really good acting. And Danny McWood,

bride who I love he's part of the whole like Jonah Hill Seth Rogen club I did get to meet him I did get to meet him yeah kind of a fan girl a little bit over here yeah I think I was done he he he he's his first like well that I've seen like serious acting role and he's not funny in it and he's just really good

he's really good acting yeah really Scott just creates his crazy world though doesn't he really amazing yeah I was looking at the main girl in it and looking at her face through the whole thing like I know you I know your face what have you been in she's the main girl with brown hair in Fantastic Beasts, the Harry Potter Revival. So I was like, oh, you're getting around, girl.

Yeah. Well done. Which is really, and she's like 37 or something. So I was like, whoop, there's Hoproth. Actresses that are not 19. This is brilliant. I tell you what I did see. Let it just came to me then.

I knew there was something like King Kong, the new one, Kong Skull Island. What did you think? Because I haven't watched it. I'm not being bothered. I liked it. It was exactly what you expect. Oh, well, that's a king Kong movie.

It was just like a. epic giant. The one thing I liked about it was that he stood up like a man. Yeah. So Kong walk like that rather than before, while that. Which was weird. But no, it was brilliant and like

the size of it, obviously with the really good graphics, the same people that did Godzilla. Yeah. And I thought it was good. It was set in the 70s so that it could completely, immediately it's like, oh, this is island that we haven't found yet because it's the 70s and we don't have drones, so it's fine. And it has the wonderful.

beautiful oh, Brie Larson No, the man Oh Brie Larson is beautiful Brilerson is beautiful Oh Tom Hildeson

That's the guy This guy He can play any role Literally any role And he's a machine In this one Lowkey, Bond Yeah literally

He could definitely play Bonn Please Yeah Tom Hiddleston was a super Yeah But yeah It's a good movie It's a good

You know It's a good popcorn Friday night Definitely watch cold I think now I've just gone past that point Because it's not

in the cinema anymore Or is it Because things are really hanging around likely. Yeah, nothing else has come out. It's been really bad. But Alien is coming out and I do that will be probably my top one for the moment and I've got the little trailer to play for you guys now. I love to hear it. Because it's yeah it's really really good films. Here we go. You've

all sacrificed so much to be here and be a part of this thing we're doing. This crew is made up of couples. It's the first ever large scale colonization mission. And everyone back on Earth is really grateful for your hard work. Your courage. We're making history here. This is weird. What are the odds of finding human vegetation this far from Earth? Who planet it?

You hear that? What? Nothing. No birds. No animals. Nothing. What happened here? Anna James on Fuba Radio.

Yeah, that is One Band by Silver, which was from Guardians of the Galaxy. Thank you ma'am. Thank you ma'am. Yeah, I'm loving it. First, when I listen to the Guardians' Galaxy 2 soundtrack, I went, oh, it's not quite the same as the first one. No, it's not. But now I've had it on repeat. I'm like... You have to sort of let yourself go and, you know, forget the first one a little bit because it's so good. So good. And let the second one in.

I need to try. I'm going to go and try to see it tonight, I think. Try to see it. You can. It just makes it so much. What, Waterloo? Is that where the I max is? Oh, there's various. Okay.

I didn't know. I don't know. Yeah, when you say I'm going to do I'm going to Basald it. Oh, Basilden. So if Basil did it has got one, then you're fine. Right, so just doing a little bit more film reviews. So we've got, well, it's not a film, actually. It's a TV series.

I thought, you know what, I'm going to explore the interface of Amazon Prime because I tend to go to Netflix. I was like, no, let's just give everyone there. Prime is sad. Yeah, and I found a show called Black Sales, which was really cool. And I just did the first episode, and I actually didn't get all the way through the first episode, not because it was bad, but because I was so tired. and I was reviewing other things as well.

But I'm going to keep going because it was really cool and it's like a Pirates of the Caribbean style drama, like monies in it. It's really good. You know when you do historical and it's a bit? There was a Netflix recently that they just didn't have the budget. Aquaman in it. Yeah, with Jason Monroe.

And they didn't have Carl Drogo basically. And they didn't have the budget and it just didn't work. So this is like really good budget and it opens on a big boat fight which you love. And the main guy in it, he reminds me of Heath Ledger Yeah He's got like a heathedgery kind of

vibe I cannot remember the name But he's gorgeous He's nice to watch And lovely And yeah he's got like a heat ledger A young Heath Ledger Element to him

And yeah If you like a bit of pirate and stuff Head over to Amazon Prime Black Sales Nice I feel like Amazon Prime missed a trick with Transformers They should have

They should have brought the rights to In the beginning They really should Amazon Amazon Prime. Yeah. Oh man. It would have been.

Yeah. I mean, copyright. Oh. Factoid of the week that I found. So this is, well, I hope this is true. You never can trust the internet. But apparently the CEO of Netflix offered a partnership when they were like beginning Netflix. Yeah.

They offered a partnership to the CEO of Blockbuster. Oh, wow. And apparently he laughed in his face. Yeah, well, you would, didn't you? Oh, gutted Blockbuster man. And so he said, you know, we've got this thing where we thought people can watch movies at home. and then they'd pay a subscription and they were like, no, no, we've got our VHS.

So now that guy must be crying every night into a bottle of wine. I can see why I did it. He'd be like, well, to be honest, why would I go with you and I've got my own thing here? When you're probably going to put me out of business. You put us out of business, which they did in the end. Yeah, exactly. But if they were in partnership, then that probably would happen.

Silly, silly man. On Netflix, they turn over something like $2 billion a year. It's madness. It always happens, though. For crazy. Same happen with Snapchat. Yeah. The moral of the story is if somebody offers you a partnership in a business, try and take it.

Just jump in. Just put five weeks. So, oh, competition time. So last week we had this huge movie package to win from Sleep Plus the movie, the new movie with Jamie Fox, also a good movie. And we have found our winner, and it congrats to it's A Diamond, 1987. And Gregio underscore UK from Twitter, you have won the merch pack each. So we're going to send that out to you. Awesome.
