Yeah, no, I've seen that. And I'm super excited about that. He was also in... I'll tell you where you'll know where he's from. You know, the original Superman TV series in the 90s? No. The lowest lane and Clark. Yeah, yeah, of course.

He played Jimmy in that. You know, like the main little guy. Yeah, and he's all grown up now and he's rather dashingly handsome. And he's bagged himself a lead in the new Sky series. That's ridiculous. Super cool. to him and see what's going on on the American side of Hollywood at the moment.

Or you can email us in at Chill at Fubar Radio.com And email us, just tell us what you're up to you tonight, your weekend, what you fancy seeing. It's raining at the moment. It's awful, isn't it? I could not believe it. I woke up this morning, saw rain. It's been hot for the last, like, month. It's such a shock.

And then now it's raining, but I actually quite like a little bit of rain. After all that heat and all that sweat. It was such a good chill. And I think it's perfect, because I'm going to the cinema tonight myself. That's what I'm doing. Oh, what are you doing? I'm going to see Bridget Jones's baby. Got to be done.

And I have seen it already. this is my second attempt I went to the premiere Of course she did Wicked you go But it was so funny I was like I'm gonna get some mates And I'm gonna go again

Because it was a total pick me up So I'm quite happy that it's raining Because then I'm not missing anything really I have a slightly more crazy night What are you doing? Although I do wish I was actually going to see that The same off I'm doing some promo work in a club

So I've been like to show my face Well I'll be sitting in a nice cosy cinema Stuff in my face for popcorn And I'd be sitting on the bar stuff in my face drinks. And the ladies. The ladies. With a wheelchair power.

Which is cool. So, yeah, we've got loads of stuff going on and whatnot. I'm really excited about the guests that we've got on today. Definitely. What films have you been, have you seen any films recently, talking about films? Yes. I'd tell you what I just saw. I just saw the new psychological thriller, don't breathe.

Isn't that a horror? Horror, psychological. I thought it was a horror going into it, but really it's a lot more. sort of a thriller. Okay, could you just, because I don't even, I don't do horror films, I don't even look at the trailers.

If you could just tell the folks out there within sort of 10 seconds, roughly what the film's about. So the film is about a blind man who has his house broken into by free robbers. And it turns out he has pretty special hearing

and knows exactly where they are. Dun, dun, dun. No, okay, sorry, I'm just fucking around with the thing. Okay, well, that did actually make me feel pretty chilled. That scared me and I've already seen it. You just scared yourself, well, I mean. No, okay, cool, amazing.

Yeah, well, I've seen Bridget Jones. Well, talking to scary movies, what is out today is the new Blair Witch, which we have spoken about previously. Yes. But I've seen that. I went to a screening last week. What did you think? I really enjoyed it.

And I wanted not to because I don't really enjoy. I love thrillers and things that make you jump and stuff, but I don't like horror. Proper horror. I enjoy horror. I love every aspect of horror, but I just wasn't a fan of the first film. Right.

And so going into the second film, I'm just a little bit. No. I want to watch it because I just have to go see it anyway, but I know I'm a bit. The only reason why I managed to stay so glued to it despite the horrorness and it absolutely messes with your mind is the fact that they've really updated it.

It's like 20 years later from the original story, and the original one was just a handheld camera in the woods. It cost something like 30 years. thousand dollars to make and made millions. This one has got money in it and they've updated it because nowadays think of the technology that we've got. We've got cameras on every single phone that anyone

has. You've got cameras probably like on your watch, on your shoes like whatever there's cameras. There's probably is a pair of shoes as a camera in them just saying, probably somewhere in the world. Jay-Z probably owns them. But they've got things like drones now, webcams like so these kids, they go off into the Blair Witch

Forest looking for the original girl. Do you not reckon that it takes the edge away from the film because of the first film. I only had handheld cameras. It was that sort of like, you know. Well, this is all, it's all, you know, it's all vlogging cameras. And it switches between the vlogging, the webcam, the drone. So it's...

Yeah, and I can imagine that's pretty scary. I found it really good. My only, if I was going to critique it, I don't think it should be called Blair Witch. I think it should be called people screaming people's names in the woods. Because literally the entire film, it's just like... James! Ashley!

Is that not nearly every horror film anyway? Possibly. Oh, which one of the 2,700 films? Did you just quote in one go there? You know, I think writers, they really need to think long and hard about what they call characters in horror films because they will have that name scream.

Like, if you look at it, a lot of them end with like an open mouth. Like, it's like, Peter, Sarah! It wouldn't have the same effect if you were like, Malcolm! Yeah, something with a mouth closed doesn't work. Jonathan. Dim!

Tim! Tim! You just go, in the forest, go, Jack, Jack. Yeah, so really hard to pronounce names. I would like to make a horror movie with open, like, close-mouth names. Only. And really hard to pronounce foreign names. Like what?

I'm trying to think of a really hard to pronounce foreign name. Without being racist. Jesus. Pezuse. Hay Zeus. Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Jesus.

Oh, yeah. Hesus. Yeah, man. No, excited. So I gave Blair Witch a massive thumbs up and I gave Bridget Jones's baby a massive thumbs up. So I'm excited about that. Well, we're going to get our first guest in in a moment.

It's Theresa Iiko. She is going to tell us all about her show girls at the Soho Theatre. I'm loving the Soho Theatre at the moment. I think Jack just burned his mouth. Oh my God. I just took it in my coffee and I burned my mouth totally. That was so hot. It's okay.

You can recover. Do you want some water? No, I'm all right. I'm just going to have my tongue out for the rest of the other. of the show. Great start, Jack, your premiere radio debut. Blisters on my...

Burn in your mouth. Amazing. But Teree's going to be in the studio. She's going to tell us all about her show. I'm super excited. Because have you ever done theatre, Jack? I have, actually. I've done it once.

Last year. What did you do? I was on tour for three months doing... It was more of an educational theatre tour, so I was in schools. Right, okay. Still theatre. Yeah, yeah.

And it was based around the lives of two people in wheelchairs who are bullied and it's their journey to try and show the world that they are no different from anybody else that they need a wheelchair, of course they do, but they know they made me different. They're still humans, they're still, you know, everybody else. And so that was, and it's sort of teach kids

in school, you know, that's a really judgmental place in school. That, you know, your peers are your peers, it doesn't matter whether they're walking or not. Because there's quite a lot of people wearing disabilities, so it was nice to get that message across. Well, yeah, okay, because people on the radio, if you don't

know about Jack, but Jack, he rolls around life in a chair. Yeah, yeah. I don't actually need it as like free parking, but I do have a wheelchair, yeah. Totally wins the system, don't you? You can walk, you can walk. Yeah, it's just laziness. But actually, that's how me and you bonded, because I'm a little bit disabled too. Yeah, I forget that every time.

I wear hearing aids, so we kind of bonded overall. I'm getting pretty deaf myself. Give me a year and I'll be like tone deaf. You can borrow mine. My age, anytime, mate, anytime. Sharing him. Right, okay, we're going to go to a song now, and we're going to go and welcome to reason the studio,

and we're going to hear about the theatre. What's going on at the moment? So the song I've chosen at the moment, because we always go for movie-themed songs. Of course. Have you ever seen the film The Breakfast Club? It's a classic 80. Obviously seen The Breakfast Club.

It's the classic 80s, one of my favorite 80s teen films. And this is a song called Don't You Forget About Me by a band called Simple Mind. So I think let's listen to this. It's Friday. It's getting in the spirit. I just kicked. Not a good start. I just kicked the whole death.

Here we go. Hello, welcome back in the studio. We've got Theresa. Is it Teresa I-Coco? I'm sorry. Oh, damn it, you know. When the name, I don't know. I just pick it and say it with confidence.

So close, so close. Okay, sorry about that. Well, welcome so much on the show. Thanks for having me. So your new show, or is it new? It's my first play. Your first ever play. And it's called Girls.

And it's going to be shown, the Soho Theatre, or later this month? It is, yeah. So just, like, tell us how it came about your first show. How did you get your first show in the Soho Theatre? So I wrote girls, after a conversation I had with one of my friends, Daniel Bailey, who's a director. And, like, I tend to write stuff because I feel like,

it's like someone's, I was trying to figure out how to say this, that's sounding weird. It's, like, someone's, like, kind of revealing themselves to you, and then you get really curious about them. And then I wrote girls, and then I sent it off to very, Verity Bargate. It's an award that's so hopefully it's our hosts

and then the Alfred Fagan Award and it was shortlisted for Verity Bargate and it won Alfred Fagan so then they were like let's talk about it. Soho, High Tide and Talawa theatre company co-produced it so

yeah it's excited. That's so exciting. Amazing. Had you had writing experience before or did you just take a whack it? So I've been writing now I'm still really new so I still consider myself like super new, like I'm winging it.

Sip fresh. Yeah, but it's all, but I had written something before, and that's how I got to know Talaura because they, I wrote this thing that I didn't know what it was, and they saw something in it, and they put it on. They have this festival every year called the Tala first, and they kind of just, you know, give new emerging, kind of talent that want to explore.

They give them a platform to do that, and they gave me a platform to try, something and they've just been really supportive ever since. So it's called girls. Can we have a brief rundown? Yeah. Yeah, what's it about? Um, girls to me is about, um, it's about girls, right? It's about girls. Okay. That would be weird if it was a lot of blokes, maybe. I mean, strange things have happened. Um, so it's about, um, female friendship and the how special I feel like it is and how important it is and, and the way that we love each other. and protect each other.

The way I was saying to my friend earlier, I feel like women are transformers. We are built to survive and we are capable of all sort of thing. And we just watch these three girls be everything that women are and also suffer everything that women do and the way that women always,

we watch them survive. And yeah, I feel like that's what it's about. A little bit of girl power right there. Girl power, yeah. Like literally I'm just, they're like, Yeah. Okay. So you can have people coming out of the theatre just being all like huffed up on.

Yeah, sassy as fuck. I like that. We should put out in the tagline. Coming out with like a catwalk. I own this shit. Yeah, I'm going to send an email. That should be in the like promo poster. Yeah, that sounds amazing.

And did you have any choice in or any sort of input into the casting or the design of the show or like, so you wrote it. Yeah. I do actually. All the companies involved are really. supportive so they just kind of let me, like I said it's my first thing so everyone kind of just let me tag along so I went to most of the auditions

and Nadine Rennie, the cast and director at Soho, she's just like the coolest person, I just learnt so much and I learnt patience because hearing your own thing Ova and Dover and over again and then that's but it was really good for me actually because then I

remember some of the things that I'd cut, I was like oh I liked to that after hearing it 12 times in an audition room and I was like, oh, maybe I should put that back in. So I learnt a lot, and it was just really interesting because for me I was like, when I saw an actor that I really, really liked, I was like, oh, please like me, please like me, please like me. And now the three ladies that we have now,

and having this conversation with them, how desperate I was for them, and they also saying that how desperate they were to do the show, it was like, oh. They were just, they were just, needed each other. So it's three girls here, and I've got a little photo in front of me. Well, they're gorgeous girls. Okay, and so you're going to, you're going to end up at the social but you're touring a little bit before that

before you get there. So if you're not in London, you can catch it other places. Yeah, we're at Aubrey now for the High Tide Festival. We opened there last week and we closed there on Sunday and then we open at Bermanentam Rap on Tuesday. Berminim. Peridium. Peridium. Well, that's really

empowering, yeah, because it's quite as an actress I used to go and try and find monologues and pieces to do with and it was quite hard to find something that is female fellowship based. It's it's great that there's a couple of plays that I've like the acid test which is about sort of three girls but this is exciting news

yeah no I'm definitely gonna come along and see this yeah I'd love to let me know when you do come that's exciting have you got wheelchair access I'll be pissed off of us I mean I'd be pissed off for you as well I think the Zio-thetis is pretty good it's pretty modern there's a lift I know that I've been in it that's so exciting so what next so now

because obviously this has been successful as a first show have you got ideas for that? Have you written more? Yeah I actually... Are you going to write boys? No, they get enough attention. They don't need I want my damn sequel. I actually wrote girls when I was on commission

with Talibah writing something else so that play that I wrote when I wrote girls the play that I was supposed to be writing while I was writing girls and I finished that now it's called The Story of Kedija Katenge another female lead Oh, all right, okay.

So hopefully we can do some work with that. And I'm just, yeah, just having fun trying to, trying to take as many opportunities to write as many stories that have as many important people to me and the people that I know just trying to make the screen and stage a little bit more representative. That's really inspiring because I know that for years I loved storywriting and I had so many ideas in my head and I was like, oh, this would be a really funny story, that would be a funny film,

that would be a great short film. But I was absolutely petrified of writing anything down for fear that people would be like, who do you think you are? Like, you have not trained in writing scripts. And so I literally, it was only this year when I sort of met you, Jack. And then we actually sat down and went, actually, we can write. We can write some funnies.

Like, there's no rules. Anyone can put pen to paper or type down or just scribble down your ideas and kind of like stuff with what people think. Like, if you find it funny, if you find it interesting and you want to tell it, like just tell it. And I found the freedom after I realized that I don't give a shit. It's such a creative way to express yourself. You know, putting your thoughts and your ideas, imagination onto paper,

and making that come alive. That's incredible. I love that, yeah. Is it weird having, like, words that you thought of in your own mind and having somebody else say them? Is it, was it like, oh? It is, and it's like, I don't know, it's just such a special thing, especially because the three ladies,

Anita Joy, Abiola, Andy Vett, the actors in the play, they are, I kind of just feel like, I don't know, like they were born to be these girls. And when they are, when they're on stage, or even when they just read, and it's like, oh, this was, I did this because they were supposed to be these girls. And the friendship that they, the characters have, I can see in the free actresses when they're like,

the best thing, the favorite thing that me in the director, one of our favorite things is to watch the free actresses like when they're down in their downtime just watch them chatting away and how they like play with each other and we're just like oh they're actually they've actually becoming friends there's something about that kind of dynamic and it just kind of bleeds off the stage and into real life and during one of the rehearsals they showed me this dance and song number like that the characters

you know when like girls we always used to like oh yeah we have the spice girls at home with hairbrushes and everything. Was I the only guy that did that then? Male spice. That was missing. Diversity. They should have been in male spice.

Peanut spice. Ball bag spice. That's a bit weird. But yeah, okay. So, yeah, that's amazing. You found them. You found what your brain thought of. It's like a premonition almost.

That's a good word. It is like a premonition. And watching them be together when they did that song and dance, like I got, like, I'm not an emotional person, but I got really, like, I just started crying because I was so happy to watch these friends. Like, the characters, and I kind of wasn't sure whether I was watching characters or actors or whatever it was,

but it was this, like, amazing dynamic that I felt so privileged to have been a part of making. Do you act yourself, or do you just write? God, no. No. I feel like that's the worst thing. That's the worst. It's the hardest job. It's the best job. It's amazing. It's our favourite job. I couldn't do anything else.

Yeah. Because I'm crap everything else. The judgment, even like with the writing and people don't have to see my face or anything. Yeah, yeah. And people judge it. Like, I'm so neurotic and I've got such anxiety. I'm just like, oh my God, people are watching my play and what do they think? And oh my gosh, they hate me.

And I can't imagine having to be an actor. And I just have, my hats are off to watching how hard those three women in my play work and how open they are and how vulnerable they're willing to be. And how much of themselves they give, like, completely selflessly. because you don't know what you're going to get back as an actor, do you? I think it's like, yeah, I do not have the stomach or the skin for that. That's the, you've got to have the toughest skin. Oh, the toughest skin.

Oh, yeah, that is. Well, almost in anything, anything where you're putting yourself into your work and, yeah, you're not behind a sort of desk or something that computers, there's like a barrier between, it's very, very vulnerable. You need to know who you are and be confident in yourself to be able to do it. Especially with, like, social media and the internet and everything now. It's so easy to get trolled. That's what I was going to lead on to.

Have you seen any other reviews of the show yet? All my friends listening will be like, like, literally like gut-chering at the word reviews because I've been the worst friend in the world for the last few days because I've been like, no one's allowed to read a few years. Do you not talk to me to me. I'm deleting my social media. I insist you delete your social media as well.

And let's create this kind of like vortex where we just exist together and we just tell each other way wonderful. But then, because I wasn't reading social media, I was like not sleeping because I was like, I was like, oh my gosh, the whole world knows that I'm shit. And they were talking about how shit I am. And then they see me walk down the street and be like, she doesn't know that she's shit, but we know that she's shit.

And I just was convinced that what's happening. That's a lot of over thinking. That's a lot of... A lot of overthinking. And my friends had to deal with all of those messages in the middle of the night. And then I just like, oh, like, just get yourself together. And I just read it, read all the reviews the other day. And I was like, lovely.

And also, it reminded me... That's what I'm not. Lovely. But also, it was like, oh, actually, they are, you know, wonderful people, but just people's opinions. and, you know. That's all they are at the end of day. Exactly. You got to just like roll off your back.

And also something really inspired me that if you actually have people like hating on you, that's actually a good sign. It means you're doing something right. If you are actually off or you're evoking something in them. Do you know what I mean? Rather than nothing,

at least it's like your start of conversation. I've always looked at it. Like, you know, a bad review to me is just as good as a good review. Because if it was no review, then maybe maybe it would be really. Maybe it'd be, well no, maybe they thought nothing of the show, you know, if there was no review. A bad review means they saw it, they had their own opinion about it, which means there's something there.

Something happened that they formed them up. They made them think about what you've done. Do you see a lot of other theatre? Are you an avid theatre girl? I don't know if I'm avid. I go to things that I don't go for the sake of it. I feel like sometimes people go, people go to watch other people just to critique it. Yeah.

And I'm going to watch some theatre and I'm going to have an opinion. I don't really get that. I just feel like I want to be entertained. Yeah. So I go to things that I want to see. Like I went to see house and amongst the region yesterday at the yard. And I thought that was brilliant. And then I went to Edinburgh Fringe earlier.

Earlier this month. Earlier last month. Never been to the fringe. Really? Yeah. I've been once. I was my first time and I was like, this was what I was born to do. Where have I been?

All my summers forever. So good. And you're extremely young. Can I may I ask roughly how old you are? Oh, your whole lady never reveals her age. Okay. But you're very... As a woman, like, I've got probably around 15 years before I've become irrelevant to the world

under the patriarchal system, so I'm going to start lying about my age soon. Well, you look like really young, like 20. So I was just like super impressed by... Around my age. That of Nivya. I reckon you around my age. Maybe. And I'm 20.

Maybe. Baby. She's not going to ruin it. That's fine. That was a bit cheek of me. Was she giving me the ass? I was just so... I was just so amazed at how young she's.

I'm like, God. how she's because I didn't do my eyebrows. It's a total compliment. I haven't got any eyebrows on that's why I look because it's really young. Oh, that makes you younger. Does it? Eyebrows make you look older and firmer. And like, stoner. I don't think anyone's ever used the word

firm on the guard to their eyebrows. I'm looking really firm today. I'm firm. Wrong word. I'm tired. It's been a long week. But I love going to the theatre. I love going to musical theatre.

That is one of my, like, little. little life. I need to go to so many more. If I could properly sing, that would be my life, I'd be on stage, musical theatre, or in a bit. But do you need to be able to properly sing? Well, you need to be able to sing in the shower,

but that's as far as it goes. It's quite hard to auto-churching to a life crowd. There is a piece of theatre that I am absolutely dying. I'd probably sell like an arm to go and see, which is the new Harry Potter play. Oh, don't get me started. I would crawl for that. So when girls won the Alfred Fagan,

we had a reading, and in the reading, Shirel Skeet, who plays Hermione's daughter, was she was Tisana from Girls in our reading. So I was like, yes, Shirin. So I remember being like, oh, great, you know, if Girls ever gets on. And then she was like, oh, babe, Harry Potter called. I was like, oh, thanks, Cheryl. Bye.

Harry Port called, done. With Harry Potter calls, you've got to go. But she's, like, so amazing, and I'm so dying to see it. Just the cast is incredible, isn't it? And I have so much. completely sold out? It is getting super, super booked, but, you know, every Friday, I think they do some sort of tombola

and they release 40 tickets. They're gone in seconds, surely. No, no, it's like a kind of, they do it for the Book of Mormon as well, I think, on Mondays, where you go outside the theatre and then you put your name into a bucket and they pull out 40 tickets and stuff. So, there are ways to see it. You can also go to returns on the day, because some people, you know, they get flu and they can't make the ticket,

and there will be a spare seat occasionally. Or you could just, pre-book for, you know, 26, 17 and just wait a long time. I looked at booking tickets online. I was due to see it in June 2017. No, 2018, sorry. 2009. That's such a forward investment.

But you've got to, I feel like I need to do that for Hamilton because I know that's going to be an issue. And if I don't see that, then I'll just be devastated. Just be devastated. Let's get my tickets in for your show now before I gets booked up for the next three years. Yeah, so it's going to be, just a recap for our listeners. It's going to be on at Birmingham Rep, 20th to the 24th of September, and then Soho Theatre for a whole month, isn't it?

27th to the September to the 29th of October. Perfect. I'll saunter down and see that. Thank you so much, Theresa, for coming in. Oh, thanks for having me. That's lovely. And all the best of luck for your future writing. So empowering to the young...

Girl power! Girl power! Yeah. We're going to pop on to... I'm going to pick a happy song. This is one of my happiest songs that I've ever... Ever ever listen to. It really picks me up.

On behalf of Noel, he's a fan, I'm a fan. Oh, wicked. So how did that even come about? How did you get your track? Because before, the Unstoppable Team, they did a film before called Legacy. Mm-hmm. And I did some music for that. And then, yeah, this Brotherhood came up.

And then, yeah, they just asked me for some music. And I sent a couple tracks. And yeah, that's the one. I auditioned for the film Legacy. Did you understand? It's the only audition that I've ever done fully but naked. Oh, okay, right. Like, fully in the nude.

How was that? How did you find that? That was an experience. Weirdly, I went in, because it wasn't the first auditioning. I did like three or four rounds of auditioning and I got through to the final. No, no, no, the final one. The first of a few audition, you audition in your clothes,

then you audition in a bikini, and then finally they turn off their camera and you do it. They say, you know, they're just checking that you can do it so that if you can't do it on, you know, they don't even get to set and then you check it out. So they're like, we just needed you to see the do the scene. So I did it. nervous, obviously it was a lot nervous, and

there's like a whole panel of like producers and casting directors and whatever, and it did the scene, and then weirdly, it was so empowering because I thought I was going to be the one that would be all embarrassed and blushing. They were all embarrassed and blushing. And I was just standing there like... Usually strutting and stuff all over the place.

This is me! And they're all like looking up like, oh, that was great, do it again. Do it again from a different angle whilst I just all lean back and... Yeah, yeah. So it was quite empowering so yeah that was cool anyway we've uh we've got a little bit off track but the point is i know that movie legacy it's good movie and that's so cool so you're making and what do you so music is your main thing yeah yeah yeah yeah music is my main passion so i produce and also

rap and rap and yeah so i produced that also multi-talented man oh thank you brother yeah so yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. And did you see the film? Did you get to go to, were you invited to any sort of screening of it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went to the screening. Yeah, I like the film a lot.

I think it's dope. That's great. Yeah, yeah. I still haven't seen it. I still haven't seen it. You need to see it, right? I know, I'm in it and you're, my brain. I've got so many reasons to see it.

You're in it, nose in it, right? D-Dak's rapping in it. Exactly. That's a multitude. That's like four reasons. Three or four reasons why I need to see it. I think I just held up five fingers. I was like, I got four.

seasons. Why you need to go see it, man. My maths is great. Making me less disabled, brilliant. I have maths disabled and I'm proud of it, it's fine. But, wait, and when did you start music? What was that like? I started music when I was like five.

I did piano lessons. Five? Yeah, piano lessons. Didn't we all though? Yeah, I definitely. No, I did recorder. I did a bit of that. I could do three blind mice on the recorder.

Probably still can. I was that guy who, you know, when we was at school, put me at the back with the triangle, I think, you know what? Let him there for 20 minutes. Put his brakes on, leave him there. Right, just give him a triangle. That was me.

Let him go. All those percussion instruments. We're the main guys. I challenge you on your next track to put a triangle in there somewhere. Can you put that? Just for me, you've got to put a triangle. Yeah, at the end of it, just,

bing. You know, that's it. Well, it's an epic sound, though, like, the triangle, is an epic instrument. Yeah, no. And also, actually, don't knock it. It's quite hard, because you remember when you got,

like, the triangle, We got a little stick. And if you accidentally hit all the sides. Don't try and make that sound hard, Jan. It was hard for me. Do you know what else I used to do in school, and I genuinely took lessons for like three months. I used to play the steel pants.

Shut up. The steel drums? Yeah, I could do white Christmas. I could do all these songs. No. Yeah. On the pants. I was like, I went to a proper, like, white girls school as well. Oh, my God.

I went to quite a rough school, so we used to pick up the, you know, the little eggs that you shake and they're like little maraca sort of eggs. we just see it with fuck we could throw them across the school that was basically our music lesson to a team I do feel sorry for music teachers man

it's like a lot it's like a jungle out there yeah my music teacher was dope though that I could go to a music class when I had like science or something wow yeah yeah we could go there that quiz you on the physics

see how good you want to science I just went there to that make music that we could kind of go there when we had that other lessons that it was dope that she wasn't like she wasn't like other teachers It's just more like free and musical.

There's always like one, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, it was dope. Well, we've just got an email in for the studio of the questions saying, what are your favourite films? So I think if we go around. Just do it.

What would be, what's on your? Prover, Brotherhood. Oh, that is a nice for it. But it's self-promote there, love it. Yeah, yes, that's coming to my top. Cool, okay. That's up there. Any old school favorites, like VHS.

favorite. That's a come into America. That's a great film. Eddie Murphy. Yeah, yeah. That's hilarious. And I like white chicks and that's white chicks.

Obviously, if you can't be white chicks. Yeah. Yeah. I met and interviewed Mullen Wayans this year and he was amazing. Did you?

He was amazing. It's so weird because I interviewed Terry Cruz. Oh, oh. Tag-teens people. Tagging.

But, okay, Jack, what would be your favorite film? And if you say bad education, I'm going to punch you in the face. Oh, okay. I got nothing then. I got nothing.

No, no. I'm always, always been a fan of Toy Story. The original Toy Story. Number one. Yeah. Buzz like you. What was the one where they got lost in Pizza Planet? That's the number one.

Yeah, that one. Didn't you want to go to Pizza Planet? Like, at the kid I was like, oh, I want to go to this planet. I also, when I left to a kid, I was always quite a small child. So I always used to try and crawl into the claw. Oh, yeah. Because I wanted to go inside and sit in it with a toys. Me.

I did love to talk. How iconic. And it was amazing that we were the first generation that got to watch it originally. I went to the cinema when I was... Yeah, I did too. Yeah. The original, I think it was like 1996 or something crazy.

Yeah. That makes me feel old. But, no, I loved... Were you a Sid or an Andy? Andy. Andy? With your toys. Andy? Andy. Andy, 100%.

Andy had all the toys, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, but Sid used to cut his toys up and put the mat together. Yeah, he was mad. He was mad. He was mad. Yeah. Like absolute nutter child

We're just breaking these toys. Yeah. Yeah. I was in Andy but I did, when it came to Barbie dolls, I did used to... No, you did. I used to cut the hair off and...

Yeah. I think that, I think now that that's probably one of the massive signs of, like, child. Psychological child. Now I know why you're so messed up, yeah.

It's like early signs of serial killer in me, but no. Okay. My favourite movie of all time probably would be Stephen Spielberg's Hook. I remember that. I love that film. That's a horror movie, isn't it? No.

No. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Captain Hook. Yeah, who? Peter Pan. With Robin Williams. It's Peter Pan in there? Yeah, it's Peter Pan. Robert Williams played Peter Pan, he's grown up, he's old, and...

I think I remember it, I remember it. His children... It's not a lot of it. You know what? I think it was, I know he did last something. No, the guy with a horse. I thought that was the same, sir. My back.

My bad. Oh, he's brighted up my day. I'm crying. A tear has come to Mr. Minster's eye. No, and I found, I was on Facebook the other day, and this thing popped up, which said backyard cinema. Yeah. Which I was going to mention anyway.

And it's this cinema that you can go to that they've built, and it's got bean bags and cocktails, and it's a proper comfort. That would be so cool. Yeah, like there's all those rooftop cinemas and backyard cinemas. It's called Backyard Cinema and they're showing all some of my favorite movies. And this Sunday they're showing hook. So I'm going to go down. Yeah, I'm dragging my boyfriend down.

That's a load of bullshit. You can only be an artist, a singing artist, or a music artist, and not an actor, or he can only be a producer or an... Eminem pretty much smashed that one to pieces, though,

Well, I'm a fan of the doctor. Thank you so much for coming in. It's Backrow and Chill, Foobar Radio. Back Row and Chill with Noel Clark and Johanna James on Fubar Radio. Hey, guys, I'm here today with a very special guest. It's Michael Landis in the building, everybody. I actually don't actually don't have an applause thing, so I'll just do myself. That's good. Thank you very much. That's a bit lame, actually. It's Joe Hannah. So, busy time for you.

You are American. You're currently in London, England. I am. How are you finding? I was going to do a bad English accent. No, can you do an English accent? I can do the woman at the airport at the magazine that goes cashier number five, please. But that's like, that's Johanna.

That was very good. So are you acquainted with England? Yeah, I've come here quite a bit. My wife's dad is Scottish. I did a couple of series here. I did a series here. I did a play. Occasionally you guys invite me over.

And I love it. Yeah. But this show was made for Sky, but we literally filmed Hootin and the Lady all over the world. Yeah, I was going to ask that, because that is the thing that you're promoting at the moment, which is your brand new Sky Series, which starts today. Tonight at 9. On Sky One. Sky One.

The main channel. The main Sky. And so, yeah, I've just been checking out the trailers and stuff. It looks, for me, it reminded me a little bit of like the sort of Indiana little homage to the sort of 80s. It is a throwback. It's just a big. fun action adventure it's got humor

and we literally did film all over the world we were in Russia we were in Cambodia we went to Rome Africa Namibia did you collect little trip air miles I collected snow globes did I collect little snow globes I collected a lot of air miles which is your favorite country to visit

we ended in Cambodia which I didn't anticipate myself going there so to watch the sunrise at Anchor Wat is kind of awesome but I'm half Italian or my grandfather was so I love I loved Italy. We started in Rome. Getting back to your European roots. Yeah. It was fun.

I mean, like we were in Russia in the dead of winter, and I got to bring my kids on there to Moscow. We're one of the only shows that's ever filmed in the metro system in Moscow, which is cool. And we shot in Red Square. It's awesome. Special times. So you are, it's called Hooter and the Lady, and you play. I play Hootin.

Houton. And The Lady is played by Ophilia Loebibond. Ophelia Lovibond. Don't you just love saying that name? Ophelia Love? Ophelia Love. Yes. You have to roll your tongue at least three times.

It's a very sexual name. I love it. Is it? And also... It's not like Johanna. No, I like Johanna. I like Johanna. Yay, thanks.

That's a role. I play Hootin. He's an American kind of adventure guy that is very good at tracking down artifacts or treasures or anything for private investors. He does it his own way. He doesn't follow any rules, which also leads him into a bunch of sticky situations. situations. And is it like comedy?

Do you, or is it... There is fun. It's tongue and cheek. Tongue cheek. Banter. Intellectual foreplay. A bit of bans. Little bans, back and forth.

But it's fun. I mean, they're two, they're kind of opposite. She's very straight, but they both want the same thing. They just go about it differently. And so that creates a friction. And did you audition with Ophelia, or was it... I, yeah, they, I came to London and met five. They had me read with five young,

actresses and Aphelia came in last. Yeah. And I had just, I was making a movie in Thailand and I flew from Thailand and she came in, she had just got off a plane from New York and she was playing like, oh, I'm just flustered and I just flew from New York and I was like, Bangkok. I got you beat. So we instantly kind of hit it off and had like a little bit of a rat tat tat. A little radat at the chemistry was there. Apparently she absolutely nails auditions because there's a weird little link I just realized today because Noel Clark, who is my co-host here, he is a producer

and film director and an actor himself. He's currently promoting his film. It got into the Toronto Film Festival. Great. Ophelia was one of her first ever films was one of his. He auditioned her and he told me about her ages ago. He was like, oh, I'm at this actress. She walked into the room. I had a role in mind for someone else and she walked in and

boom, part was hers. And so... She's great. So he, a weird little I wish I was here because, yeah, he could definitely tell you. She's also a comedian. I mean, she's Her timing is amazing. She was on that show, W-1A. Jessica Hines, who's a big comedian,

she's in the show, and a guy called Jonathan Bailey, who was on Broadchurch and W-1A. So it's Hootin and Lady in the cast of W1A. Now, you were also, people might remember you, because you were back in the day.

You were on Superman, weren't you, the New Adventures of Superman? I was. I was on a superhero show when it wasn't cool to be in a fucking superhero show. But for me, that is the only, like,

Superman series that I register as the real. Like, that was my childhood. I love that show so much. That's so funny. I wanted to be Terry Hatcher. You did. Yeah. It's dangerous when you're a kid

I'm watching that show because you're like, I'll just jump out of window. I can fly. I can do it. I'll do it. I want to be a reporter. That didn't happen either.

But you do a very good English accent. That was very good. I want to do a little challenge with you. Are you going to do an American accent? Do you want me to? Yeah, you can let me hear. What do you just say? Do you want me to go for a yogurt?

Okay. Let me just say, and I'll try to do it in an American. I'll tell you a word that everyone always says like it's tomato, tomato, you know what the word that we don't do together the same. Yogurt.

Yogurt. Yogurt. Yogurt. Yogurt. Yogat. Yogat. Yogat. Yogat.

Of yogurt. But yogurt. Why do you say yogurt? Like, yogurt? I didn't hit it. I just said, I just say yogurt. But you go to Valley, girl. Is that way you can, can you do a valley?

Like, what, like L.A.? Like, California. Like, totally like that. Yeah. I spent a little time in L.A. last year, so I kind of thought that way out. That's great. That's very good. But English, let's go back to English.

Because I'm a London. I'm from South London. South London. From South London. I am from Broccoli. Get out. How do you know broccoli? Shut the front door.

I know broccoli because I did a show here when we filmed in broccoli. I've laughed. I'm from Brooklyn. Isn't there like an old dance hall there or some old? Yeah, the Rivilly Ballroom. Oh my God, we're like old schoolmates. Boom. Well, I was going to, yeah, I grew up in Brooklyn in South London.

So you were trying to test my London knowledge. I want to test your London slang. So if I'm going to throw you some slang words, I'm going to see if you can translate what you think that they might mean. Minge. Sorry. Do you know what that is? I do.

You know what? I love that in, what was it, the in-betweeners? That kid with like the clunge mags and, sorry, I'm being naughty. No, no. Minge is one of, like, my favorite words. Give me a word. Okay, what about pique? Peak.

Yeah, what do you think peak means? Fuck. Like we've peaked, it's, I fuck, I don't know. It's an uncomfortable situation. Peak. This is peak. This is peak. Yeah.

You can bring these back. That's American. You can teach everyone. Maybe not. Okay. Yard. Yard. Yard.

Yard. Well, a yard in America is like money. Oh, is it? Like, what do we call? A yard is like a thousand bucks or something, right? Or 100,000. A yard? A couple of yards.

Well, yard here is your home. Your yard. Your yard. Your crib. Yeah. Your yard. You're hitting me with some young good. Yeah, this is the current.

High through Minge. Okay. What about if something's dead? Fucking dead. No. If something's dead, it's not happening. It's not going on. Nothing's happening right now.

It's poor quality. Poor quality. This is dead. This is like, you know, yeah, sorry, mate. Your jacket's dead. Wow, give me some more. Shit. What is, what's WIP?

Your ride. Your whip. Your car, right? Yeah, okay. Okay, okay, maybe that's the same one. Okay, cool. What about fam? What is a fam?

Your family? No. Your friends. It's a close friend. Your close friend. Your close friends, my fam. And, a final one. What does Peng mean?

Peng. P-E-N-D. Ping. Ping. We have a thing, what we call Pang, is if you have a moment that you go, fuck, I shouldn't have said, there's like a pang in your stomach

or like a pang. No, it's nice looking, so if you see like a really hot girl, oh, she's pang. She's pang. But explain that you just made that up. I did not make that up. Why is the good looking girl pang? What makes her pang? I don't know. These kids on the street, they just like twist words and stuff. Look at her, she's pang.

Yeah. Or she's paying for dinner. Paying. that's how we would say She's so paying, I'm paying She's paying Fuck Yeah, no, well done Those are very

I didn't do well at all I did extremely You can Well I was so impressed That you do Minge That's amazing That's a bit naughty That's amazing

There's an actress in Hollywood Who got Minge tattooed on her foot Did she? She maybe didn't know well No she yeah She didn't quite It was Amanda Seafrid And she said she was on set

With Colin Firth And he kept saying Minge She kept swearing Minge And so she loved it so much She got it on her foot And then now she does Red Carpets

and there's minge on her foot. There's minge on her foot. Well, we have a lot of swear words over here that maybe don't translate. We say bugger a lot. Bugger, like, oh, bugger. That's like a Hugh Grant movie. Oh, yeah, he says it a lot. You say bullocks.

Oh, bollocks, yeah. You say the C word a lot. The sea word in England seems very normal and it's less offensive, but in America, people get offended by it. No, it's still pretty offensive here. Is it? Yeah, not really used much on TV or anything. But going down a pub, it's everywhere.

If they don't even say it, they go, you fucking, Just whisper it. What about mingin? That's an Irish thing. Yeah. Oh, that's so mingin. Yeah. Well, all those, I'm from New York City.

So you'll have, when you come from different, if you're not in like a posh, you know, thing, I think you come up with your own little slang or is. I invent words sometimes. I said horrocious once. And I meant like horrendously ferocious, and it just came out as hosious. But horosius is a good word. So I get that. I was like, gosh, it's just horosious that situation.

It's like Shakespeare. He made out words all the time. I think they made up Shakespeare. Are you fan of Shakespeare? Bill? William? Old Bill? Old Billy Billy? Shakespeare? Yeah. I don't... There's a rumor that he was actually a woman, but writing under the male name.

Willamina? I mean, that would make sense, I think. All those feelings that he was writing about? It's pretty much just PMS in a play, isn't it? Just like, I hate you. Do you go to Shakespeare? I do. At the globe, they've got this really good deal where you can go. It's like a fiver.

All the time. For a fiver. That's the Columbus Ruffer. road flower market. You can spend a fiver. I have a little fan in England. I have some good friends here, yeah. Do you know who Dexter Fletcher is? Yes. He's the voice of McDonald's.

The Big Mac MacFerrie. You've not heard. Every time you listen to McDonald's, it's Dexter. How do you know Dexter? We did a play. Did he get free McDonald's? He doesn't get free McDonald's. You think as the voice of McDonald's, you'd be able to walk in and be like, I'd like a burger. But I think they pay him and he can buy some McDonald's if he wants. That's not as fun, is it?

Where do you get a good burger? You guys are all big about your lobster burger thing. What's going on? I... Where do you get a good cheese burger? My favorite is five guys, isn't it? Five guys. I get free burgers at Five Guys. You do? I did an interview once and I accidentally made a huge

tit of myself and made a big sexual innuendo and I was interviewing someone and it went viral. And five guys offered me free burgers. Five dudes offered you free burgers. Five guys the place. Five guys the place. Yeah, that was the mix up. I was talking about five guys. You were thinking at five guys.

The burger place and they thought I was talking about five men. of mine. Uh-oh. Never go lower than seven, so it's fine. Johanna. Okay, so back to... What else can we talk about? Who's doing the lady?

A little bit more. Because it's starting tonight. Have you actually seen... I saw, like, the first two. We go to Rome and the second one. The first one's in the jungle. We go to Egypt, Russia, Cambodia. It's just good fun escapism.

We do a lot of stunts. We were up on the stunt team. Do a lot of the Tom Cruise movies. And Tom Cruise picks the safest people in the world. I felt in good safe hands. we did more stunts than I ever have, and they pushed us further than we ever did. We did fights on helicopters.

Did you hurt yourself? Emotionally. No, you get hurt a little bit, but they don't let you do every, everything, because there's insurance and stuff. You have to come back the next day. I'm not precious, but... You've got to keep your face intact. I guess, I don't know. I'm going to start watching it, and that's actually quite big.

Normally, I just stick to Netflix. Do you got any upcoming projects like next in line where you're going after? I did a film with Matthew McConaughey called Gold. It's a, that's coming out on Christmas Day in America. I don't know when it's coming out here. Okay. It's a big drama. It's about the largest gold scandal in the history of the world, I think.

The history of the universe. It's kind of gold, money, greed. But it was written and directed by the guy that did Siriana and won the Oscar, and he wrote traffic and won the Oscar. Stephen Gaghan. So it's a good proper. Proper serious chunk of him. And McConaughey's great. He gained all this weight and lost his hair.

He's like, great. He's going to, I think he'll get nominated for another Oscar. You said that with like a nice amount of. No, he's amazing. I think he's great and I think he's fun and... He kind of came out of nowhere. He was like killing the, you know, the rom-coms and all those kind of films and then just out of nowhere, boom. He did all those romantic comedies and then he moved to Austin and he took a little break. And then the phone stopped calling for a while and then all of a sudden you become a new idea. And he came out and he did a couple of movies before Dallas Byers Club that were great.

Yeah. Mud and Magic Mike too. That's what happened. That was the first movie. I think Soderberg called him. Then he came and did that. He works hard. Do you play like a goodie or a baddie or a... I just play a banker, a New York banker that goes... Baddy?

No. That goes to Indonesia to verify that what they found is really gold. And it turns out to not be really gold. And I look like probably an asshole. But it's all set in the 80s. I had to pretend more to travel with a Walkman. I love that part of acting because I'm an actress as well. Like when you get put on set and you have to pretend that you're an expert at something.

I'm like, yeah, I can totally fly this helicopter. Thank you so much. I know you've had a really super busy day. I won't be getting in a helicopter with Johanna. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's amazing to meet you. I can't believe that you're from my hometown.

Well, you went to my... I'm from my hometown. Dance hall. River House, whatever it's called. Okay, we need to stop here because this is getting dead. Okay. Football Radio presents.

The Hannah Witten Show. One of the sexiest things that someone's ever said to me was when I was very much like doing the stuff, we're getting down to it. I was clearly very much getting to the point where I was just like, I want to come. You know when you get it.

And that's allowed. You're like, I want this. And I think he could tell in terms of my body language that I was just like gearing up. Good. But then he just stopped and said to me, he was just like, you're going to come when I want you to come. And I was just like, oh my gosh. Ballard, that's a nice one. Good job.

Every Wednesday. From 6pm on Fubar Radio. Yo, guys, it's back row and chill with Johanna James. And today, Jack Binsett. Yo, yo, yo. Yo, we got Lucy Pelson back in the studio to do some film reviews because now it's for this part of the show, which is, um, honest film reviews.

Yes. And a bit of TV. Do you know what that reminded me of? What? Lord Farkod from Shrek. Lord Farkward. When it just comes out, you know, into the castle. I love shit.

It's on the list. Right, welcome, Lucy. Welcome back. Hi, thanks for having me back. Friday. So another week has passed. More movies are coming and going. What have you seen this week?

I saw Don't Breathe. Right. Absolutely shit myself. And saw Hello High Water, which, oh my God, is one of the best films I have ever seen. That is a bold statement, but I stand by. I think I saw a trailer for that. With Chris Pine. Yeah.

Who is devilishly handsome in it. Yeah. I would. Obviously, well, yeah. We all would. I think we all would. I think we all would. Great.

Okay, let's start with that. So what is the film about and why should people go and see it? It's basically a heist film. It's, you know, bank robbers and cops and robbers type thing. That's only on the surface of it, though. I mean, really, essentially, it's sort of a family drama. It's a road movie. It's a buddy movie.

It's like this beautiful love letter to rural Texas. It's just absolutely beautiful to watch. Basically, these guys are robbing banks. And at first you think, well, you know, quite clearly you're breaking the law. The policeman are going to get you. But it turns out there's a very good reason why are they doing it. I won't reveal the reason. Oh, a Robin Hood sweet.

It is. Exactly that. Yeah, maybe. And it's so heartwarming, you know, what they're actually doing. But also it's really sad that they've actually got to take the action they're taking because they're basically just being screwed over. Yeah. The lead cast are absolutely amazing

I mean Chris Pine Like we said Beautiful those blue eyes You could just get lost in them But he's so rugged in it He is a leading man Definitely He's he's learned his chops

I think Definitely But Ben Foster Who plays They play brothers in it He's the blonde I love Ben Foster I love Ben Foster

I always have And you know What makes me sad Is that he's largely ignored You know Really? Well I mean Yeah he got a little bit of recognition

for 310 to humour and things like that but why is he not a massive star I don't understand yet why is he not an A list? Yeah I mean you watch him in Alphrodog and things like that and he's a ridiculous psycho that's what I liked him from yeah and he amazing that like he

you would think that really in real life he's got to be a complete lunatic but I've read interviews and things and he seems like quite a stable normal person but you know he he plays it part psycho part lovable rogue in this and that to me as well is his testament to his talent

because if you can be this absolute luno but also tone it down and be a lovable morally bereft yeah but lovable road yeah exactly and he's absolutely amazing to watch he really was my favourite part about the film definitely how amazing what you convinced me

because I saw a poster for it and I got to admit from the poster I didn't really I wasn't inclined to go and see it I did see the trailer and that made me go Real? Yeah, me too. I mean, I saw it. I thought it looks a bit cowboyish to me.

Yeah, yeah. And Jeff Bridges is in it, obviously, who is really, really old, and basically looks like he's got no teeth when he's talking. That there was points where I was... To put it nicely, you know what I mean, you know. It's a bit of a gummy bridges. He really was gummy. There's points where I'm thinking,

don't really know what you're saying, but, you know, you're pushing the plot along. So overall from you, I think your film where you would be... Yup. Yep. It's a yop from you. Definitely. Okay.

And so the next film you saw was, don't breathe, which I think, Jack, you mentioned briefly. I've seen. You've both seen that. And, yeah, what did you feel? You go first. What did you think? I thought it was, you know, absolutely amazing. I thought, oh, it's going to be one of these, run-of-the-meal. I've seen so many horror films.

I was waiting for you to say it was shit, and I'd be like, no. No, and I've seen reviews where people have said, oh, it's this, it's that. No, it does exactly what it says on the team. Exactly. It scares you. There was plenty of times where I was jumping out of my seat. Yeah. I just jumped then, because you said jump, but I don't know why I adopted.

I don't. I just went home. I don't know. Right, I tell you, I went in there. I've always, like, being a disabled actor, ever since I was a child, I've always loved a film. It's got, you know, the plot is based around someone who's disabled. And so when I started, when I knew them, you know,

it's a couple of kids breaking people's houses, they find out a blind guy, just living in a house, easy target. That, to me, it was appealing. I thought that's going to be a great, great film. There is so many more twists. Oh, my God. So many tweets.

Like, you know, the last sort of 45 minutes, not even like half an hour. It's relentless again and again and again. There's four twists. I'm like, what? Who's what? I literally was exhausted to sit in there going to go and, is this going to end? Is there something else going to happen? It took me 20 minutes.

The question of who was actually blind. Because I was thinking, you didn't know that from your hearing. Come on. I know. I must admit that was a bit, really? But, you know, I thought, don't you think he was amazing? He reminded me of, um, Nick Taylor in Wolf Creek. You know, absolutely.

lunatic that's like all silver fox but like a hench psycho he was massive he was very musley it was it was like ex-veteran yeah like soldier wasn't he yeah and he lost his eyesight in a bomb

was it in Iraq I think or like Vietnam probably Vietnam yeah he lost his age yeah I think that you know the bond as well between the lead female actress and the male actor they were they were very good that was a good bond they had there I mean, I don't really know much. It's Dylan Minette, I can't really pronounce his name.

And Jane Levy. And Jane Levy, she's worked with Fedi Alvarez before on the remake of Evil Dead. Yes. And it took me a while to realise it was actually her because her hair was blonde and she's all like... I got that on straight away. I was like, I just wouldn't wish I were a kid in the trailer. I was like, I know that. Yeah.

But yeah, you're right. They really had good chemistry, didn't they? And I just think that... I mean, that was a vital part of this coming together was then to... Absolutely. Otherwise, you know, because that's so, the guy on his own, the blind guy, was not going to pull through with the film. No. On his own.

No, no. So it was exciting. So it's not, so it's a, it is a thriller more than a horror. Yeah. I mean, it's not, you know, the supernatural, ghosty type stuff. Not at all. He is like a, not a slasher up, but, you know, that's sort of thriller type of thing. A little bit, a little bit of, you know, moments you thought, oh, Jesus, that must have hurt.

But, you know, like, you know, definitely. There's got to be some of that, isn't there. You're not being ill from the... I mean, there was some gross... There was one gross bit. It was a close-up of a certain bodily fluid and it actually had a hair bit. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Oh, it's actually gagging in the cinema. I mean, I'm desensitised to that gore. But that... I thought it was really clever. I don't it. Why has it not been done before a horror film? I know. You don't have to watch that all we're on about.

I don't want it to be done. It's getting real. She's getting real. And then it gets real scary. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When there's hair. underground dungeons and bodily fluids.

So overall that would be like a... Definitely. Totally. Family friendly. For the bodily fluid, I'd say. Yep. Amazing. We're just going to whiz through in the entertainment news of what is coming up

and what I think you should go and see coming soon. This is not out right now. But the Magnificent Seven with Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt. Look. I'm very excited for that sort of... I think the Western. movies. I am all up. I'm up for a Western movie.

So go on them, Google or YouTube or whatever and look up The Magnificent Seven. I recommend that one. The Girl with All the Gifts with Gemma Arterton. I saw that trailer. Because I love, my favorite movie genre ever is sort of post-apocalyptic or dystopian future. Just love it

when the world's... I'm in the future. My most favorite moment is when the world's about to fucking end. Brilliant. But it's about this dystopian future where a lot of humanities wiped out by an infection and the ones who do Gemma Artisan is obviously survived

because she's cool and she's this sort of psychologist, the doctor and they get these kids who are infected and they kind of experiment on them and there's this one special girl who's got like a genius IQ and she they could create a bond and even though she's sort of got infected with this essentially zombie thing

was zombie type infection and it's about just watch the trailer I'm really excited for it it looks like a drama but I just love the one I'm saying. I'll tell you what I just watched on Sky Premiere to do with the zombies sort of side of things

was the maze run of scorch trials. I haven't watched any of them. The first film, fantastic. You're really, really good. The second film, it's all about them escaping what they were involved in the first film, but then the zombies coming through it. And it's like, it was so good.

I don't like zombie films. Oh, I do. Not because I'm scared of them, I'll get bored. I don't like them. But this, I watched the whole thing through it. I loved it every second of it. Oh, I'll have to watch them. I haven't watched that.

And the third thing that I'm looking forward to that I saw pop up, because I read the book and I was so, I went, oh, I wish they'd make this into a film. It is Inferno, which is, you know, the, oh, what's the one with Tom Hanks and all the, what was the original one? The Vinci Code? That's the one I'm looking for. It's another damn brown book, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a continuation, the same character. So it's the Da Vinci Code, and it was Angels and Demons, and then I read Inferno, and it was like another level interesting.

I haven't seen any of them. I haven't seen... Yeah, so Inferno, it's all about... Well, it's actually touching on a very good subject. We do so much to save the world and say... Technology now means that humans are living longer and we can cure so many diseases. But the impact on that globally

is that we're also running out of space in the world. And everything is like getting stressed. So it's sort of like... So I think some terrorists are attacking, trying to lower the population of the world for the good of the world. And it was just an interesting debate and the book was really interesting, fast-paced.

See, that sounds like something. I would be like, I'd be like, you know. And it's Tom Hanks. It's Tom Hanks. Can't go wrong, can't you? So I'm so excited that he signed on, when he came back and he's good for him. He's a new film coming out now, Tom Hanks, isn't he?

It's the one where they have to land a plane, Hudson River. Oh, yeah. What's that called? Hush. Tom Hanks and in his movies, he gets stuck everywhere, doesn't he? Never travel with Tom Hanks. Exactly. On a boat, on an airport.

That's a disaster waiting to happen. Tom Hanks is absolutely going to screw you if you're going on holiday. Like, yeah, don't do that. Well, thank you so much, Lucy. We're going to pop on another song now. And we'll hope you have you back next week. We'll go off and do our homework. Yes.

It's so exciting. Thank you for having me again. I know. It's amazing. All right, thanks so much. So I'm going to play a bit of Prince now. One of my favorite songs. Can you guess what it is?

It begins with P. Purple rain. Yes, it is. Alright, we'll see you. I'm looking at it on the screen going, is that an rhetorical question? Do you want me to answer? Is that a fucking there?

Or do you need to leave him for Lucy to get? Like, come on. His Prince Purple Rain on Back Road, Chill. And Chill with Johanna James and No Clark on Fubour Radio. Okay, then and now. We're going to play Then and Now, okay? Favorite film when you were young?

I'm not insinuating that you're old, but, you know. No, I got it. I know where you're going. You didn't have to fill that in it. Younger. Bastard. When I was younger, I think. I had two films that I love.

Of course, I loved Star Wars when I was younger. I was blown away by Star Wars, blown away by Star Trek. I remember watching with my dad Bridger Over the River Kwai. Wow. Yeah. And that was one of those kind of movies that was intellectually so far above me for that age. But I just remember getting into the movie and be like, it took me away. Even as a kid, it held my interest.

I was a Goonies, man. Remember Goonies? Oh, yeah. Hey, you guys. Yeah, I know. I look like the Goonies, so I'm skipping over that. Thanks a lot for saying that. Thanks.

Oh, yeah. I could be the Gooney. Yeah, I know. Thanks. Favorite film now, you think? Favorite film now? Brotherhood. Y!

Which, by the way, is number two in the box office. I think, it's funny, I've had some films that I absolutely love, and it's funny, I tend to go towards, like, Eastwood. Oh, my favorite, of all times, unforgiven. Yeah. It's one of my favorite films because of the character was so awesome, because even though He's there and he's trying to change his path, but he's done outlawed Josie Wales and two mules for Sister Sarah. So you had no problems excepting the fact of this character's past that William Moody was a bad son of a gun who tried to change his ways. And then Gene Hackman was so amazing being that bully and the way he went after English Bob and, you know, that the whole synergy they were doing there were where Gene Hackman was the aggressor.

He was the intimidating one. He was the bigger alpha. Yeah. And then Eastwood's sick. He's got the flu. You know, the kid's trying to be like Eastwood but does still has a soul. So, you know, I mean, even though he shot the guy in the toilet, you find out that he's never killed anybody before. And he realizes he doesn't have that black heart to do it.

So you see that human side, that human gamut. And then when Morgan Freeman gets killed and Eastwood has the drink, you see the chance. I got goosebumps now. You see the change come over his character where it's almost like, I'm done. done. I'm not playing around anymore. And then you see how things change where Hackman, who was the bully, now ends up like all bullies. He's on the receipt because he ran into a bigger alpha. And you saw the fact that Eastwood didn't have any remorse. He didn't have any soul. It was just you're dealing with death and death has showed up and called your number. And I just,

I love that movie for you. So that was my examination of unforgiven. It was a little deep. That's it. That's it. What's your favorite previous film that you've done? Film that I've done actually my best work not that is that extensive. I love the work I just did with the Soska Sisters in Vendetta. It was kind of a quick movie. We shot it in three weeks, which is fast. That was an opportunity. I worked with Dean Kane, who I don't know if you guys know Dean,

but he is absolutely amazing. I have my first death scene. And we were running out of daylight, and it was the last shot of the day that we were doing that day when I die. We have one basic cause of lighting. We have one shot at it. One shot at it, you know. And I've never died before.

I've got, you know, all this stuff to do. And so Dean ends up slicing my throat while I'm on top of him. We're about to shoot him. He's got a knife hit and he cuts my throat. So I've got to grab my throat and bleed and then fall off of him. Because at the end, because I had beaten his wife and killed her by hand and tortured him, I've been the bully. Now that my throat's cut and I'm bleeding out, the tables have turned. he's going to be above me, put a bullet in my head, kill me.

Now I get to be afraid and vulnerable, which I haven't been in the whole movie. Which you know as an actor, as an actor, that art to go from, ah, to afraid, it's cool. But as I'm on top of him dying, I start to fall off, and he holds my hip. So I'm wrestling, I get it, he's giving me the office. And then when the time's right, he pulls on my jeans a little bit, and then I fall off of it. So then we finished a shot, and the girls were like, oh, that was awesome. That was perfect time. I was like, my man took care of me.

But he was that kind of giving actor. Like, it was a prison movie and, you know, it was low budget, but we did what we could do with it. But he did all of his own stunts. He took the beatings every day. And it's really amazing because he set the tone of how a good lead actor sets a tone. Nice to everybody. Yeah. Shows up on time.

Can do attitude. Works his ass off. And the set was so amazing the way everybody worked hard because the lead actor set that tone. And that was one thing I learned right away. Like, that's the kind of actor. I want to be a guy that's that works. with everybody that says hello to everybody that works well with everybody and you know if you do have an attitude you have it at home in the hotel room by yourself and you kick the shit out of the

pillow at home yeah yeah yeah uh i enjoyed work with him so far the best i mean every experience is unique where i did knucklehead michael walkins was directing that my first director was not go a bit i was a bit i was a bit i'd grown up in an orphanage i wouldn't i you know it's not like tropic thunder it's not like yeah it's not like tropic thunder i didn't go full yeah you know but anyway um Yeah, yeah. Michael Watkins, my first director meeting with him. Michael Watkins, he's, you know, easy writer. He's done all these amazing words, NYPD Blue and all these shows.

He's a hell of a director. He's a little crazy, he's been a hell of a director. He comes in with a straight face. He says, I got two rules. Know your lines and show up on time. He walks out. Yeah. And I was like, that's it?

Oh, my God. So I know this script. I know the DNA. The script. Like, we didn't have a tie. for the movie. It was called The Big Show Project. We didn't even have a title for it yet. So then when I get on set with him, I spit the lines out and he comes over and he says, listen, you know the character. If some of the lines stain your teeth, which is a great line. He says, put it on how Walter would say it.

So be Walter. You know Walter. So then he was so kind. I was like, okay, where's that crazy guy? He left three weeks ago. This is cool. But with him, I learned a 1T, 2, T, 3, T, T, 4 T shot. He taught me all the little creeps of Mickey Rooney and the Martina. Like, I learned a lot of the language because I just sat next to him at the camera and learned. So speaking of that, do you feel like, is there a director that you would absolutely love to work with? And learning so much from, as you just described, do you think directing one day, whether it be WWI programming or whether it be movies or something that you'd like to go into? I don't think I would have any aptitude whatsoever being a director at this stage.

I am so green. I wouldn't even want to try to venture. into that feel. Directors are amazing because they actually picture the entire movie in their heads. That's an ability that I don't know if I have to be able to do. The relationships they have with their crew to motivate their crew

which you know a movie is based on its crew. You live and die by your work efficiency of your crew. I don't think I'd want to undertake that pressure. You know what I mean? As far as directors, there's so many great directors out there. But you know, you have your dream director. Yeah,

I'd love to be directed by Clint Eastwood someday. Of course, I'd rather have, I wouldn't mind having a donut and a cup of coffee with Clint Eastwood. I wouldn't mind scrubbing Clint Eastwood's toilet. I'm fine with whatever. I just want to hang out with Clint Eastwood. Scrummy toilet. Scrum my toilet.

Okay. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good to do it, sir. I'll do that, sir. But, you know, I mean, you know, that's one of those kind of things where you want to work, I mean, I'm open-minded. I want to work with anybody that will help me become the best act that I can be, get the best

performance that I can. And willing to take a risk on me because there's a thing I'm very coachable. I've been an athlete my whole life. So I'm used to running offenses, run our defenses, whatever matches we need out there hitting time cues. So I'm used to fall in directions and instruction. And I think that's one thing that I do bring in the table for a big guy is I'm very open with my other actors. I feed off the energy of my other actors that help me put me where I need to be. And when you get that synergy flowing, I'm getting the cusp of it now, but you can really see where great actors have that magic and it's done right.

So that's the entertaining part for me. That's the part that I want to be a part of. And someday maybe get into some live theater acting and stuff, which is kind of like wrestling, but theater I think would be good at some point. This is one of the best theater shows we ever see. Aw, thanks. Wendy Mallor is a good buddy in mine.

She was in Knucklehead. She talked to me all the time. What was the movie she wanted me to redo? Of Mice and Men. Oh, Mice and Wow. Yeah, she wanted me. She says that would be a good one for me. She said I would like theater acting

because I'd have the, you know, when you're in front of a crowd, you have the instant gratification of the audience. Films was completely different because you don't know what you did, and there's some editor that's picking something that he thinks is good, because sometimes you're watching go, ah, that other one was better, because I don't watch, I'm not going to watch my daily's kind of guy, because I wouldn't know if I did sound right or wrong anyway. I trust the director of my other actors in my gut. And then watching again is not going to help anything, but keep me up all night, question it, you know? Honestly, man, you know, this is like theater. I've done theater.

You know, I've done theater. I did theater for years before I started making movies and directing movies and blah, blah, blah, blah. If you think, you know, you're saying I'd love to theater, you guys are doing it and doing it well. Oh, fantastic. I think you're probably a lot closer than you actually think. And you're performing tonight, aren't you? Yes, I am. Big guy wins spandex.

Yay! We'll spot you. We'll watch you. Good song. That's it. Man, thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I look forward to catching it. Yes. I'll be back in the States next week, so we'll check it out. But thank you so much. Thank you very much. Good luck. This has been...

Fubour. Back row and chill with Johanna James and Nolklaff on Fubar Radio. Fubar Radio presents. Taylor Incorporated. Do you remember Femodoms? I don't understand how it works.

Can you read out some of the instructions? First of all, find a comfortable position for inserting the condom. Squatting or with a one leg raised on a chair. Imagine that, like when you're just about to go in and you see your gal like, What in?

One leg up on the chair, I was about to sing an acoustic song and do you're dipping your head round the bottom. Can you get a femadom that and bring it in next week? Yeah, sure. Yeah, please, actually.

Cancel the order because apparently during sex they make of the rustling noise. Someone described it as fun with a wind sock. Every Wednesday. Hey and Sylvester Incorporated. From 4pm on Fubar Radio. Woo, guys, we're back.

We're back. That was, if you're just listening, that was mine and Knowles. interview, second part of the interview with the wrestler, the big show. We went last week down to the O2 arena. We watched the live show and we got to speak to him and he was a legend. So jealous. Right, we've got

another legend in the studio now. We've got, finally, Dog Brown. Woo! Thank you so much for coming in. I feel like there's a lot of pressure on me now that I know the show's called Back Row and Chill and like, what happens at the end of this show? Well, exactly. You have to wait to find out. No one

never told me that. We were never boys like that I know back well originally when we were like thinking up ideas for the show Noel was like I think it should be called fingered in the back row I was like wow okay no I didn't know that that was like There's nothing left to the imagination

At least back row and chill there's some kind of Subtakes Finger in the back row you know what you're getting I was like well that we That's an option Noel Or we could maybe go for like Netflix and Chill Kind of like a back row in chill And then we...

Were you the one that made that decision? We're the first one to say... Well, I came up with that. You came up with that. You can tell that Noel was my age, though, because fingered in the back row was definitely something we did in the 90s, you know. That was definitely a past time when you could still smoke in the cinema. Yeah.

Back in the day. Them days. What was your local cinema? Where did you go? The Odian, Wilsden Lane. It's on the corner of Willson Lane and Kilbyn-Hirodus. It's like one of those mental. churches slash bingos now

yeah there's yeah I've seen them love their places yeah it actually got shut down because there was like a rat infestation in the cinema yeah yeah around about 92 or something like that 93 it was the first

place I ever saw I saw my first 12 I saw Batman which actually was the first 12th that's how fucking old it Batman was the first 12th yeah first ever rated 12 what was the first 12 you saw did you ever sneakie under age of 12.

No, because I was going to see 12s and 15s when I was 10. They just saw the wheelchair and went, let me through. How can we tell? They don't say shit to the wheelchair. They don't see nothing to me. I was buying fags at seven.

I remember when I saw, I think it was called the Perfect Storm when I was 11 years old and my mum took me and she was so nervous about lying that I was 12 and they didn't even ask my age and she went, she has 12, she has 12, you know, I was like, Mom, keep six.

I don't remember my first 12, but I remember my first 15, which was found destination. Oh, at the cinema? Yeah, yeah. I don't remember what my first 15 was. Do you know what's weird? It's still, if I see something with the label 18, I go, oh, not for me. Really? Yeah, because if it's too violent, I'm just a bit like, eh.

Like horror film or something. Imagine how to rat infestation in the cinema, that brings a whole new effect to a horror film live. I think she was just, you know, like, first and foremost, I mean, I know a lot of people that I meet now in this world of the media they maybe were born in the 80s, but if you were a little kid in the 80s like I was, shit, you remember, like, shit was just not, it wasn't really built for, like, family-friendly stuff or, like, health and safety wasn't the utmost in people's minds.

Smoking on planes. Yeah, there weren't seatbelts in the back of cars in the 80s. Do you know what, that sort of tells you everything you need to know about what adults, like, where their focus was back then. Good luck kids. You know? Yeah, just crack. Go on.

Brace yourself. As long as I survive. I'm the breadwinner, do you know what I mean? Assume a cannonball position. Good luck. But yeah, everyone's got a bit too health and safety now. Yeah, it's too far now. It's too far.

I've got kids now. And, you know, I think the world is too, like, child-centric. I think you can't wrap kids in cotton wool. They've got to experience the grit and the grime of life. Because otherwise, they're not ready for the world. world when they should be. Yeah. You know? You don't want to

like rap your kid in Cottonwall and then they get to secondary school and they just get wailed on like every day because they just don't know about the world. They're not ready. Yeah. So there you go. I mean, that's just my opinion. I'm sure our listeners will have different ones but that's how

I feel. Well, if you do email us in, we'd like to start a conversation. Studio. Tell me how irresponsible of Peron you are. Email us. Who wins? Studio. Food bar. Food bar. Do you have recently been in a cinema movie yourself as well. Yeah, my first big movie.

It's an amazing moment for me really, you know, I know people say, oh, your life must have changed. It doesn't really because nobody really watches shit anymore. Everyone just passes by. Have you seen it? Nah, I'm just watching this thing on Netflix or whatever. I literally are going to get up and be an actor now.

You've thrown it from it. I'm going to fuck it. I'm not going to act anymore. No, you're going to watch it. My own personal, professional point of view from when I was a little kid, that was a dream, you know, to be on the red carpet and to being a movie, a mainstream movie. And that's happened now. And I feel like if I never do anything else ever,

like I've always got that. Ticked it off. Yeah, I've always got that. So what movie, what was the movie that you were in? Oh, yeah. It's called Life on the Road. David Brent Life on the Road. It's one of those kind of, yeah, one of those like colon movies, you know, where you got like the first half of the name

and then a colon and then the second half. How did that come about? You get into that? Uh, well, me and Ricky have been working together for about four years. He saw me on YouTube and got my contact details and called me up to the wonder of the modern age. And I started opening for him at stand-up gigs. And from that point, you know, when he realized, okay, yeah, you are funny. Like, we started having beers and stuff and talking about stuff.

And it was that time, 2012, he was developing Derek. Yes. And he was like, look, you know what? I've written like two and a half episodes. I need to write six. and I think like we should just somehow try and crow buy you into an episode like just work out a character

that would work coming to the old people's home and we were on tour in Scandinavia and he said look when we go back to London just come round and we'll put some ideas down and it was so surreal you know because you know when the office came out and I was like whatever how old was I

I mean wow damn it's 15 years ago the office 15 years ago so I was like what 21 22 and you know at that age you see you see a comedy that strong it's going to live in the memory long and in fact it actually changed the nature of comedy there's still comic actors now that I see that I think yeah you're just doing Jervais you're just acting like everybody acted in the office

which Javais created so to meet him was one thing to open for him at his gigs was another But then to come back to London and just go around his house and just work out ideas and for him to go, what do you think of this? What do you think of that? It was insane, you know? But now, yeah, it's like four years later and we've worked on so many different things together. Such a lovely guy, Ricky. Yeah, that's the craziest thing because everybody's like, he's so good at Brent.

He must just be Brent. And it's just like, no, he's just fucking good. He's just good. He's just good. I've been active for nine years now. My first ever job was life's too short. which was Ricky Jervais and Warwick Davis Yeah, of course

I did one of the episodes of that And Talking to Ricky afterwards After we've done the filming I was like 11 year old I was like really impressionable I was like wanting to get into acting He inspired me to keep going

And nine years I'm still here I'm still doing acting I'm still going hard And it was Ricky that helped me get there Well he's you know I think you know The fact that he pushes boundaries And you know

He'll take the piss out of the disabled He'll take the piss out of black people who'll take the piss out of religion I'll take the piss out of all of these things that we're a little bit sensitive about and the easiest thing to do is oh he's like a prick he's a prick but maybe he's just starting a conversation

because if you actually look at the people he's worked with and I include myself in this who else is just plucking like a black rapper comedian from obscurity and going yeah star in my movie do you know I mean because Ricky doesn't really see people like that he understands how everybody else sees him and he takes the piss out of that,

similar to how Sasha Baron Cohen used to do, you know, but maybe even a little bit more subtle because I think there's still people who think, oh, Ricky's just, yeah, you're a dick. You're just being provocative for the sake of it. I don't think he is. I think he's opening up these discussions, opening up these debates,

because it's an interesting thing. It's an interesting thing. And what was it like filming the movie? Like, was it, where were you filming in and what was your role? Well, I mean, first and foremost, that movie was probably, Probably, at that stage, I, you know, I got a firm foot in the sort of TV door and I was doing a lot of drama and a lot of comedy. And it's probably my 14th or 15th time on a set, you know, shooting continuously. And it was easily, and to date is easily the most fun I've had on a set.

Because firstly, Ricky doesn't work beyond like 4pm. He just wants to go home. He just wants to go home. And the industry just loves him for that. They love him for that. You finish early. You start late. He never does more than a couple takes of anything

because he just doesn't want to kill the laughter, the moment. So there's a lot of improv. There's a lot of messing around. But you still feel like there's somebody in charge here who knows what he wants. So when you do two takes and he's like, I got it. You're like, oh. But then when you get used to it, you're like, no, he knows.

knows and it made for a really fun set you know all the uh all like the beers you see me and the band drinking in the film are real beers you know like we just we just had a ball man we had an absolute ball from start to finish and that was largely ricky's direction i would say i heard that's called a wet take if you uh wet take if you do like wet rehearsals and wet take if you use actual alcohol um i think yeah if you ever doing a show or a scene i think you should always just do a wet take just why not exactly why the hell no even if there isn't supposed to be I don't know. You should.

You know, it's like, Holby City, why not. Yeah, just carry your baby downstairs. It's a weird thing acting

because you should always know what you're doing and you should always be prepared. But at the same time, you can also be over prepared and you can also know too much. And when you know too much and you're over prepared,

I don't know if I buy your performance as much because it feels like you're doing all the acting. Yeah. Do you mean? You're doing all the acting. you've researched, you've studied, you've learned your lines to a T, and that's all good, but sometimes the most natural thing is just your instant reaction.

And the reason that you might have seen people, when I include myself in this, in Jervais' projects, where they're brilliant in the Javais project, and then they're kind of okay in other stuff, is because Javais will, like, I mean, he employed that whole mock documentary concept of the interview, you know. so as a director he'll sit there by the side of the camera and just ask you questions and get you to react naturally. And you know it's a comedy, so you're trying to be funny.

But whenever, like, there were days when I sort of manufacture a line in response to him and he just going, no, no, man. Yeah. I don't want your flipping pre-prepared jokes. Like, just react. So he'd ask me harder and harder questions that I hadn't been prepped for. And then when you just stop being nervous and you just answer them. Always that one.

The comedy comes out, but also you're not acting. Because you just haven't got time to even think about that. So you're just like, let me get the voice of the character. And that's all you're focused on, just maintaining the character's voice and that's it. I love that. And it's quite an interesting technique, actually. Just be. Yeah.

I mean, look at the band in that film. None of them are actors. They're actual musicians. And he got them acting before they even realized what was happening. So in the future, in the cards, would you want to do more? I mean, you've ticked off. you've got it ticked in the bag now, but do you want to go back of you? No question.

I would absolutely love it. I mean, I've had so many amazing offers and auditions since the movie, which is really exciting, and I'm going for as many as I can. Nothing is guaranteed in this business. You never know how long you're going to be working for. Such a fickle business. Yeah, so you make, hey, what are the sun shines, you know? So for now, 100% if there's more out there, I will do it.

you know and then I'll pale into obscurity just like everybody else right gentlemen I have got a movie quiz because we played a movie quiz last last week with the Manda Man's On the Wall Boys and it was fun so I've prepared some more questions for you guys so I don't know what the answers are to this do I

no no I did not see it and you've prepared a couple questions I've got two here just so I can play otherwise I just realized that I don't get to play so he's got two for you I've got two for both of you we're going to like work out this. It's like a triangle.

Yeah, what a triangle going on here. It's a theme triangle, isn't it? Freedom. Ding! Background, chill. With Jack's triangle. Okay, right, first question. So I think maybe we should do

some sort of, whoever gets it first, could maybe do a buzzer sound. Should we make up our own buzzer sounds? Yeah, that could be quite fun. Be whatever. What are you going to go for, dot? What do I have? I don't know what I've got on my sleeve.

I'll go for the, I'll go for the, for the camera and fry range up I'll go for the Wow That'll be my sound Beat that what's yours I can't beat that I can't beat that

Is in Star Wars What is the name of the emperor Never seen it We've done Well take a guess, take a whack at it. Yep, yep. It's not quite abrasive enough, that sounds.

Sorry, do we, do you have anything there? I think it's, I think it's something like palatine or paladin or palatine or palatine. Something like that. Okay, I'm going to give it to you, it's Palpatine. I knew it was something like that. That's partial credit. Yeah, you get that. One point to you.

Okay, here's the second question. And you guys can play along when you're at home, if you can, like, email us in. If you got it right. If you're going to write or just see what you know. Second question. First female monster to appear in a movie. What was the first female monster? Female monster.

No, it's much further back than that. It's actually the bride of Frankenstein. Oh, of course. Was the first female monster? I wasn't class in her as a monster. That was a problem. Okay, that's all right. Okay, question.

I think if you have the hots for someone, you can't describe them as a monster. Maybe you can. She's pretty hot. Yeah. I've got to say. Who dies in the fourth Harry Potter movie? I've never seen that.

Okay, so then maybe you're not going to get this next. Okay. Oh, there we go. Okay, this is a movie quote from a film. Can you tell me what film and who said it? Follow the spiders. Why couldn't it be follow the butterflies? I know, I know.
