Starting point is 00:02:13 What's your... Either one. Get called a lot of things around the name Beard-Beard-O. Beardy. Beardy man. Yeah. Beardy woman. Beardy woman.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Yeah. Just to clarify, she does not have an actual beard. No, just a lady beard. Just a lady garden beard. Oh, I've never heard of it been called a lady beard before. Quite like that. Well, mine's more of a lady tash, I would say. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:38 But you are filling in for Noel Clark today, because he's off doing FAMO things. What do you do on the day today? Well, so I make silly videos and put them online, you know. A content creator. Yeah, content creator. So, yeah, doing all the silly faces and all of that on my Facebook page. You're a comedian.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Yeah. I would say, own it, girl. You're a comedian. And that's how me and you met, like, over a year ago. We met online. I know. The true romance of the story. We met online.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I chatted you up. You did actually. You slid into my DMs. And we're like, look, let's make a comedy baby. And I was like, I'm down. It was just that chemistry when we first met was undeniable. It was very intense. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:29 You know, I... I've never had that kind of emotion. relationship with a girl before until I met you. It was just something special. I mean it's been pretty hot this week but I'm feeling very flustered right now. I must tell you. Right so I'm going to run you through the show because this is your first time on the radio and your first time on back row and chill. So normally we like to kick it off with
Starting point is 00:03:51 a bit of entertainment news which is where we tell the lovely audience out there what's been going on in the world of sort of cinema, Netflix, theater, anything along those lines. So now we're going to jump right in it. time for the entertainment news on back road till I've felt ever so special when I go to do that
Starting point is 00:04:12 so right what has been going on in the world of the world so much Daniel Day Lewis called it a day he's retired at the age of 60 which is weird because I mean I haven't heard of literally in years I've never heard of
Starting point is 00:04:29 an actor retiring like everyone all the old all the oldies they're still going. Michael Cain. To their dying day. Yeah. Do I mean? You hear of actors passing,
Starting point is 00:04:38 but you never hear of them retiring. So this is, this is interesting. You know, maybe it's just got a little bit too much and just want to, you know, take a... Do some gardening?
Starting point is 00:04:48 Yeah, do some gardening. Do you know what I mean? Trim that, Lady Bush. Take up some new hobbies. But apparently, Hollywood is in shock. They're in shock, apparently. I mean, I'm not that shocked.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I mean, I'd like Daniel Day Lewis, but I'm not a mega fan. I mean, what was the last? last thing that he did that you can think of that he did. He played Lincoln, didn't he? Ah, okay. Is that the last thing? That's the last thing I can think of Daniel O'Do Lois. I mean, when I think of Daniel DeLois, I'm thinking he was in the gangs of New York, right?
Starting point is 00:05:19 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, there will be blood as well. He does a lot of, like, gangy, American-y, fighty stuff, doesn't me? So that's weird. I wonder why he has a, why he has decided to call it. quits but um but he has and but then maybe maybe he's just trying to like spark up a little bit of a buzz yeah true so that he can then retire and then return yeah guess who's back yeah back again
Starting point is 00:05:44 daniel's back so you don't really know i don't know are we are we that shocked do we care let us know tweet us at food by radio if you want to get in touch with us at the show we will shout to you out everyone loves a little bit of a social media shout out nowadays isn't they definitely oh they do you know what i am like super excited about what is wonder woman is on the cards. I know. Oh, have you seen Wonder Woman One? Yeah. Oh, I haven't seen it yet. Oh my God. I've done it. I know.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I was like so inspired after I was just like, Ah, get me a sword. Fetch me my sword. I know. I mean, even just the trailer, I want to get up and like smash something and just like be kick-ass. No, he's on my to-do list for sure this weekend to go and see that. Lucy's going to kill me that.
Starting point is 00:06:29 I haven't seen it already. But so number two, Defo on the I mean it's smashed all the box offices and there's been so much praise for that movie. Definitely. And it's really like sparked a bit of a conversation because it was one of the main Hollywood movies of Blockbusters of the year to be directed by a woman.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Absolutely. So everyone's like, which really that shouldn't really be news and it shouldn't really be of interest. I know it's crazy. The genitalia of the director. Yeah. But you know we're still a little bit behind, aren't we Hollywood? Definitely. So yeah, I'm excited to see. Hopefully this is kind of going to be the
Starting point is 00:07:03 start of more, you know, more big movies with female directors. Yeah, and I heard as well that the main lady who got cast as Wonder Woman, she got cast and then they had a change of director halfway through. And so the new director came on board and she was quoted as saying that she wouldn't have, she wanted to cast an American woman. Right. rather than someone of foreign or Middle East descent, which I was like, where is this going, interview?
Starting point is 00:07:35 Whoa, what is going on? But then she went on to say that when she then got to work with the actress, she went, nobody else could play Wonder Woman better. So I was like, okay, that's nice. Okay, fair enough. It shocked me for a moment. But it's good. I mean, it's good.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Warner Brothers have come back with all the DC film. Because of Marvel has just been like wiping the floor for months with all their Deadpool and all of their movies. And so it's quite nice that DC came back with a bit of a fighting punch. Yeah, definitely. Well done. Well done. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that, but I just need to get myself along to the bloody first one.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Yeah. Late to the party. As usual, Johanna, great. Yeah, so Mariah Carey, Carrie, Carrie, her cameo has got cut from a movie because of her unprofessional, quote, behaviour. Top hat. And there are divas, and then there's Mariah Carey. I can imagine that she'd be a massive diva.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Yeah, you can definitely imagine that. She's notoriously known for her bizarre and like OTT diva demands. So apparently, she was, oh, I read here that she was spilling tea. I was like, no, she didn't do that. That's so odd. But yeah, she had a lot of antics behind the scenes. So apparently, everyone's claiming that they had to wait three to four hours before she made an appearance on set
Starting point is 00:08:57 and then when she got to set she refused to do the stunt that was arranged so that is pretty dovery definitely oh dear I mean I think a lot of these famous people famo people and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:09:11 you need to kind of take a bit of a rain check sometimes and just realise how many girls and guys or anyone they are literally at the floodgates ready to come in and do that job ten times over and also just like the time and effort that goes into like making a film is crazy so like you know to go and like waste people's
Starting point is 00:09:31 time and stuff I don't know I just yeah I don't think it's cool I remember when I first ever ever started out in acting and I like years ago and I met Noel and I remember me know had a conversation and he kind of like made me sort of shake hands with him and he was like will you promise to never diva on me he's like I'll help you and I'll always support you and and sort of like give you a leg up but you can never diva on me. Yeah. I think he'd had a sort of scenario while one of his actresses had divored on him
Starting point is 00:10:00 and so he was a bit like, if you're going to do this, you've got to keep ahead, keep humble and whatever. And I have, I promised it, and to this day, I'm like, if I'm on set, I will do the job. Yeah, I'll do the job. I just, I haven't got time for divas,
Starting point is 00:10:14 to be fair. I think it was, who was it? I think it was Merrill Streep, I think was quoted this year saying pretty much exactly the same thing. Like, even when it's like, you're on set and you're tired and it's 12 hours and you haven't eaten and whatever. So just keep reflecting on
Starting point is 00:10:28 how bloody lucky are we to be doing this job? So, oh, so exciting. Yeah, definitely. I don't know. Mariah Carey. If you guys are interested in seeing Wonder Woman too, or, I mean, there's a lot of praise for Wonder Woman, but if you didn't like it, let us know. You can email in, chill at Fulbar Radio.com
Starting point is 00:10:46 or tweet us at Fulbar Radio. And let us know your film reviews as well. We're going to be doing film reviews later on in the show. So tweet them in, email them in, and we will shout you out and read them out as well. Guys, get involved, because it's not just us telling you what we like. We want to hear what you're liking as well. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:03 I think that we should pop back into a little bit more music. Cool. Because I went to the premiere of a new film called Baby Driver this week, which I didn't really know anything about. I just sort of got an invite and thought, why not? I'm free. So I popped down, and I realized that there was some amazing cast. it was John Hamm, who's the main guy in Mad Men. Very tall,
Starting point is 00:11:29 yes. Gap-looking guy. Kevin Spacey plays like the main kind of gangster bad guy. Lily James, who plays Cinderella. Also was in one of Noel's films, Fast Girls, and Downton Abbey, of course. Who else is in the cast? There's so many amazing, amazing things.
Starting point is 00:11:45 And it's basically, as a synopsis of a movie, it's about a young guy who's called Baby. It's kind of cool. And he's a, he is a, getaway driver for bank robberies. And it's a kind of like a heist film, but with a massive difference. He's got tinnitus or tinnitus.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Oh, yeah. In his ears from an accident when he was a kid. So he constantly has to wear earphones, and he constantly has to play. So he's got all these iPods on him at all time, so he's constantly got music. And the entire movie is shot and edited and stylized to the songs that he's listening to.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Oh, wow. It's just a whole, they've kind of like taken the concept of movie, and they kind of made a baby with a music video and it's just a really refreshing. Yeah, and that's what they were sort of talking about like at the premiere. They were saying that it was an original script, an original story in the whole world of like sequels and prequels
Starting point is 00:12:37 and, you know, this number seven. They thought, let's go back to the basics and do an original idea and it really worked. And so I've been obsessed with the soundtrack all weeks. I picked a couple of my favorite songs. Oh yeah, Jamie Fox, that's who it was. Jamie Fox plays this awesome character in it. And C.J. Jones, Sky Ferreira,
Starting point is 00:12:59 who are in the flesh, is the most gorgeous piece of woman flesh that you've ever seen. She was like meters from me at the premiere. Was it a girl crash moment? You know, I probably would have proposed. If I was allowed any more near her by her bodyguards. It was, yeah, it was just absolutely amazing. So I'm going to go for a bit of Harlem Shuffle
Starting point is 00:13:20 by Bob and Earl. I think that's going to be the next one. This is back where and chill come back. We've got way more entertainment news and our first guest coming up just after half past four. Enjoy! I love that little sound whoever pre-recorded that. It blesses me every week.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Right, we're going to get back into our entertainment news because there's still so much going on. A bit of a drama has gone down on the new well, not it's not new Star Wars. It's the spin-off, the hands Solo movie, which is the prequel to obviously
Starting point is 00:14:04 Han Solo's character in Star Wars. So Ron Howard has been brought in to save the day because the previous directors have been fired. Which is very late in the day to fire directors. It's a bit dramatic, isn't it? It's very bit dramatic. There's three thirds of the
Starting point is 00:14:21 three thirds of the film. That's the whole film. Three quarters of the film have already been shot with the previous directors. Oh, whoa. And so Ron Howard is going to come in and do the last bit, but I don't know how does that work then do they have to last one. It must be really hard for him to just come in
Starting point is 00:14:38 on like someone else's like creation. So late in the day. Yeah. And like kind of save it. Sew it back together again. I hope it's not a bit of a patchwork film. I hate that when that happens. But the previous director is called Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
Starting point is 00:14:51 who are best known for Lego movie, 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street. Oh wow. Yeah, all of those like kind of comedy classics. So apparently, creative differences was what they're saying is why that they got the boot. But it just seem
Starting point is 00:15:08 a bit weird. Apparently people are saying that they injected too much comedy and there was too much improvisation going down. So they want to go back to more sort of classic Hollywood. But I mean, why hire two of the best comedy directors in the business right now and then tell them to
Starting point is 00:15:24 tone down the comedy? It's a bit like, yeah. Okay. I should have seen that one coming. It's like, well, okay. just completely changed. Though I'm wondering if the film's going to be like, it's going to be really weirdly comedic in some scenes and then like...
Starting point is 00:15:37 And then towards the end or whatever. Super Hollywood. Yeah. It's going to be a bit mish-mash. It's a bit of a mashed potato movie, maybe. Yeah. Don't know about that. We'll see what's going on, Rick.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Down to Nabi, are you a fan? I've like tuned in and out of it. You've slipped in and out. Yeah, slipped in and out. Like an uncaring... Are you hooked? Are you invested? I was, at the beginning of it, when it all kicked off,
Starting point is 00:16:06 I was definitely a Downton fan. I love a bit of a period drama. Yeah. I would be so happy running around in a corset, and that would be one of my ideal roles. Towards the end, though, I think I did have a bit of enough of, there's only so many times you can run up and downstairs and talk to servants.
Starting point is 00:16:19 But, apparently not, because they are definitely starting to shoot the Downton Abbey movie. I think they've got one more time to try and get money out of that series. Yeah. Because it did blow up in America as well. So they're going to produce, well, to begin in 2018. That's a long way away, actually. No, wait, we're only halfway through the year.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Six months away. But by the time it comes out. Yeah, it will be a little way away. I don't know. I wonder how many of the cast are in. It's all a bit of hearsay at the moment. We don't know. We cannot confirm nor deny what's going on.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Apparently, Lady Edith Crawley is still waiting to hear from producers. So I think the crew doesn't, the cast don't even know what's going on. But we'll keep you posted. I'll keep an eye out for the Downton Abbey, if you've got any Downton Abbey enthusiasts out there. Yes. I don't know, guys, if you're listening, which way do you sway? Are you sort of period drama or you modern day drama?
Starting point is 00:17:20 What's there? Which way do you like to go? Which way do you go? Well, in terms of like, kind of like you were saying, you know, how you feel like comfortable in a corset running around. It's funny because day to day to day, I'm like in my dungarees and whatever. But then when I'm like acting, I'm like, give me a corset.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Anything like, I love doing like period drama roles. So in that way I like, I do like tuning into things like that. I do think they're interesting to watch, definitely. And it's this whole other kind of world, isn't it? Because it's so different from what we have around. It's like watching history. History. But then that what happens is I actually think that that's what happened in history.
Starting point is 00:17:54 So I like watch downtown Abbey and I'd be like that actually. That's not factual? There wasn't a fire at the mill? No. So, yeah, let's know. Tweet us in at Fubar Radio. Do you go for the period drama or do you go for the modern day drama? Where would you put your penny?
Starting point is 00:18:11 Oh, we've had a tweet in saying, I like your voice, Johanna. Okay. Thank you. It is a lovely voice. You have a lovely voice as well. Oh, thank you. Do you have a telephone voice? Oh, hello.
Starting point is 00:18:25 My dad has like the biggest telephone voice ever. he just has a sort of normal London accent but whenever anyone calls him on the phone and it's like, hello! And suddenly he turns into that. I'm like, are you like owning a bank? Like what's really weird? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:18:41 And he does this weird thing where he also like, he can't multitask, so he can't be on the phone and sit still at the same time. So he'll wonder. So whenever he was on the phone back in the day when I lived at home, he would just like wander into my room
Starting point is 00:18:55 and out again while he was on the phone. I'm like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Dad, and like, my dad does that as well. Like, as soon as he's on the phone, he just,
Starting point is 00:19:02 like, goes for a walk around the house. Yeah, just off you go. Off you go. It's like he's pacing around. It's bizarre. I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:09 they do say that, uh, in, in like a court of, of, of, of, if you sleepwalk
Starting point is 00:19:14 and do commit a crime, like, you're not guilty because you weren't quite aware. But maybe there might be a clause about phone walking as well. Yeah. And you could possibly commit a crime
Starting point is 00:19:22 and that's how I was on the phone. I wasn't aware of what was doing. And like, legit dad wouldn't, No. And he'll be there and he'll be like putting the kettle in the fridge and like a book and in that cupboard and stuff. And it's like, what you do? Dad?
Starting point is 00:19:32 Just not even raw. Gosh. Well, thank you very much for first tweet of the day. That was at Don Yucit. So thanks very much for tweeting in. Tweet at Fulbar Radio or email in. I like getting an email because it pops straight up to my screen. So I get to see it first.
Starting point is 00:19:48 So chill at Fulbar Radio.com. Let us know what you're liking to watch. Are you watching anything at the moment that you're particularly? jazzed about? Well, you got me into the Hamme's Tale. Oh, are you into that? Yeah. I'm like, how can you not be? So into it. Like, what episode are you on? Um, I've like watched as many as have come out on 4 O'D so far. Okay. So I'm like episode four, I think it is. Oh my God. You've got good things. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that I think has got to be my favorite series of the whole, the whole year. I'm going to be, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it the whole year. Yeah. The Hammeys tale. And again,
Starting point is 00:20:26 people misjudged what it was. I had a friend who I recommended it to and she went, oh no, I don't like period dramas. I went, it's not a period drama. It's set in the future. It's like a post, it's a post-apocalyptic kind of future thing. They just happen to dress like the olden days, but trust me they've got like cars and guns and yeah. And she was like, I love that fusion. I think it's so cool and unique. Old and new, old and new. A little bit like the way, slightly like the way that Star Wars, they, they do, it's set in the future, but all the costumes and everything are like really historical. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:58 So that kind of fusion. So if you haven't, check it out. You can, it's on Hulu, if you're like that side of the world that can get Hulu. Or it's on Channel 4, 4OD if you are UK based, the handmade tale. It's based on a book from the 80s, but it's been modernised to the present day for the series so that you can have like cell phones and stuff in there. But I remember reading the book in school. And it's a bit of a graphic novel because the theme is,
Starting point is 00:21:25 about in a society where their infatility is so low that not many people are fertile so if you are they round you up and they force you to be a sex slave to the richer members of society and you've got to pop out the babies to sort of get your freedom but it's interesting
Starting point is 00:21:42 kind of how you know how relevant a lot of the issues occurring in it are oh yeah it's freakyly close isn't it to the yeah freakily close to the modern day which I think is that's the perfect balance of like spine tingly when something's a little bit too close it makes you a little bit too uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:21:59 But yeah, I remember reading the novel in school. And we had to read it out loud in the classroom. And I remember I had the page, I had to stand up and read the page where they were doing one of the sex ceremonies. And there was one of the lines and I had to say the C word. And I was like mortified at like 13 to read this aloud in front of like the teacher. But I guess, you know, quite liberating now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Yeah. So super, super good. Right. Okay, dokey. I think that's enough entertainment news for today. We'll be back next week with loads more stuff. Or maybe later in the show, because news comes out all the time. I'll have a little quick refresh over.
Starting point is 00:22:37 So, back to Baby Driver and a couple of these songs, because I'm just loving that movie. The main guy in it is gorgeous. I forgetting his name at the moment. Ansel Hot Face, I'm going to call him. Because he's gorgeous, and he was the guy in The Fault in Our Stars. Oh yeah, yeah. He's also in
Starting point is 00:22:57 the insurgent, divergent, detergent movies. And he played the lead role and like this I think is his like I mean he did an amazing job in Fulting our stars. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:09 But this is like another level lead role for him. So I think I've got a bit of a crush. I think it's happened. Ansel Elgort. Gosh. Like, yeah. What a name. What a name?
Starting point is 00:23:22 Say that when you're drunk. I don't know. Yeah, okay So what's my next song gonna be? Ooh, okay. This is called Hocus Pocus by a band called Focus. Whoa. I know, could you get any more rhymy?
Starting point is 00:23:36 Probably not. Right, we're coming up to Half Path 4, which means it's nearly time for our first guest, so we're going to introduce it straight after. Hocus, Pocus by Focus on Backrow and Jill. So that was Hocus Pocus by the band Focus. Wow. Say that three times.
Starting point is 00:23:57 This is amazing. Pocus, Marcus, Pocus. Hocus, Focus, Pocus. Right, we've got our first guest on the show So a huge welcome to Ursula Martinez Welcome Thank you Is that your real name
Starting point is 00:24:09 Or another stage It's nearly my real name My mother's maid Ursula is my real name And Martinez is my mother's maiden name Oh yeah I went for my father's middle name Oh okay So my mother's Spanish but everyone in Spain has two surnames
Starting point is 00:24:28 So if I'd grown up in Spain, my name would have been Ursula Lee Martinez. So it's nearly my name. I love the name Ursula as well. Yeah, that's cool. I've never met in Ursula. It means... No, me neither. It means little female bear.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Really? Yeah, because the star constellation, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, that's the bear. Oh, wow. Ursula is a little female bear. Little female bear. So we can just call you that for short. Little female bear. Right, well, we are really eager to talk.
Starting point is 00:24:58 to you about your show because you are on at the Soho Theatre, which is kind of the centre of all things cool. It is, isn't it? It's got such a vibe down there, really. Yeah, those people go just to hang out, they don't even see the shows, they just go down to the venue, which is like, I'm just going to hang around the theatre and like kind of ooze a bit of the cool off and apply it to yourself. But you have a show called Free Admission. Yeah, it's not free to get in. Yeah, I was going to ask, is it free admission for free admission? So the reason why it's called free admission is because during the show I freely
Starting point is 00:25:32 admit stuff. It's like an open mic literal night. So yeah the shows a lot of my work kind of draws on personal experiences and autobiography and this one is an exception and that's why it's called
Starting point is 00:25:48 free admission. Nice and is it one woman show? It's a one woman show yeah. So I freely admit stuff whilst building a brick wall between me and the audience. and this is it's a real brick wall with real bricks and real mortar. Every night you've got to make a real wall. Yeah, every night I've got back, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And then you bash it down again? Yeah, bash it down. It doesn't have the secret is in the mortar, it doesn't have any cement in it. It's just sand, water and lime. So it doesn't set, you can scrape it off. Okay, good. And then you just add water the next day and it's good to go again. I was just imagine you with a sledgehammer just like every night.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Come on, guys, got to get home. Take the wall down. So no cement. It's how they used to build all the cathedrals in days of old were built with sand, lime and water because they didn't have any cement in those days. Because it does eventually set. Okay, but just after a millennium.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It doesn't sit after an hour's show. So how did you get from where you are to where you were? To where I am to where I was or where I was to where I am? the way around. Actually, I'd like to tell the story backwards, please. I thought it didn't just be extra. So, yeah, well, I had written the text and I wanted to,
Starting point is 00:27:11 I didn't want to be speaking into a microphone and be too much like a stand-up comedian. Okay. And I didn't want to not have a microphone because then I'd be standing there like an actor sort of like flailing with my arms and not knowing what to do. So I thought, I'd need to have a microphone. have something to busy myself, an activity while I'm delivering the text in order to kind of make it feel a bit more organic. And then we had the idea, but whatever I do with my hands, it would be nice that that also creates something. And then we went through loads of things that you
Starting point is 00:27:46 could be doing card tricks, you could bake in a cake, you could be whatever. And then I just had the idea, I suppose I could build a brick wall. And then the idea came. And then the idea came. And then it was just, yeah, we just went with it. And it ended up kind of like the layers of metaphor revealed themselves after we'd had the idea and after we were doing it, the idea that whilst I'm kind of revealing stuff about myself, I'm also creating a barrier and a protection between me and the audience. As I make myself more vulnerable, I need to protect myself.
Starting point is 00:28:20 It's also about how we all communicate from inside behind closed walls and we're all trying to communicate with the outside world via social media, but behind walls that were all quite isolated. Then I made the show, then after I made the show, Donald Trump got in and was talking about building a wall between the states and Mexico, and then I took on a whole new meaning. And then also in the show I do talk about the sort of this side and that side,
Starting point is 00:28:48 the divide between them and us, and there's a lot of them and us going on at the moment as well. So, yeah, there's lots of metaphors, and obviously it's a theatrical full. wall that as well yeah I mean the concept of a wall I guess is that it's like somebody back in the day the year old days went right
Starting point is 00:29:04 we're going to build something to stop you and me and yeah it was quite literally quite literally a barrier I do always wonder who were like the first people to invent stuff that we just like have now like who's the first person to invent a cake well who's the first person to
Starting point is 00:29:20 mix sand and water and lime and make something that you could stick rocks together And I wonder what like things they tried before they were like the, before they found something that worked. What was the bleepers? Yeah. Try like it. Beetle done.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yeah, maybe this. Yeah, maybe this. A bit of beetle dung. Wattle and daub. That was it before Mortar, wasn't it? Wattle and Dorb. Anyway, yeah, that blast from the past from my school. And so how long is the show?
Starting point is 00:29:49 How long is the runtime? So I'm on all of next week. Monday to Saturday. The show's an hour long. I'm a firm believer. I'm a firm believer of a 56 minute long show. I think our attention spans and, you know, seek comfortability, you know, an hour, just shy of an hour.
Starting point is 00:30:07 It's so true. Your range of switches starts to just switch up a little bit. Yeah. So, yeah, short and sweet, keep them wanting more. Keep them wanting more. And do you incorporate any music in it, or is it? There's a bit of, there's a little bit of music. There's a sort of triumphant.
Starting point is 00:30:26 It's got a very triumphant and some might say a slightly provocative ending. But yeah, to triumphant music. I'm all quite well known for getting naked on stage, and I may or may not get naked in this show. You'll have to come and see it, guys. You'll have to go check it out yourself. Well, I can see on the press release, there is a bit of nudity. which is
Starting point is 00:30:54 I mean that's a hard one as well as like me and Katie female performers and it's the old concept of nudity it causes a bit of a divide with how you do it yeah well intention
Starting point is 00:31:10 changes how it's perceived or can do yeah yeah context because that's always I remember years ago I was offered a film role which was like fully nude and I was like having to weigh up
Starting point is 00:31:25 because I hadn't really done anything major acting wise before and I was like weighing up people saying oh well you know hold that hold the nude card or like be really picky about where you do it and why and I ended up turning it not going for it and turning it down and going because of the nudity
Starting point is 00:31:43 or because of other reason when I got involved in the project they said it was going to be fully nude but it was fully nude for comedy effect so I got in and I was like okay that's fine If it's the butt of the joke and I can play with that. And then the concept changed and it was fully nude for the shock effect. And they universal, they just wanted a vagina shot for the shake of it.
Starting point is 00:32:06 And so I ended up going like, I don't know, I don't know, no, no. So I ended up not. And now I'm like, really glad that I made that decision. But then on the other hand, I know many actresses who started off going fully nude in Game of Thrones and it has like catapulted them to the next level. and so many doors have opened because of the nude scenes that they did, which is kind of like a... Well, that's weird as well, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:29 Yeah. Yeah, okay. But, yeah, I mean, I suppose in a way, you know, the nudity that I do in my shows is very different. It's, you know, I have full agency. It's like my own work, it's my decisions. I have total control of how, of the context and the... It empowers you to be on stage in the nude, or is it terrifying?
Starting point is 00:32:50 Neither. It's just, it's one of the things I do, like, Comedy is, it runs through my work as well. That's another thing that I do. Autobiography is nothing that I do. So I suppose nudity is just one of the many things in my repertoire that I often draw on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I found when I did the audition process for that very movie, I did find it, I was terrified. I'm so glad that I did the audition process though, even though I didn't do the film. I'm glad that I did that experience because I auditioned in front of a full panel and a room of people. and I did the scene a couple times and stuff
Starting point is 00:33:25 and I found it they were more sort of awkward and embarrassed than I was because I was the one that had the power card because they were the ones not wanting to look me in the eye like sorry could you just do that again? And there was me just there like everything out and I was like I got adrenaline and I found that my fear
Starting point is 00:33:41 like I faced the fear of it anyway because I think being naked is one of the most terrifying things that you can do with anything in the world or they even say to calm your nerves imagine everyone naked and things like that to reverse. I mean I agree. I grew up a, well, my parents were both nudist, so I grew up within a kind of like nudist sort of context. So being naked is not shocking for me.
Starting point is 00:34:02 I don't do it for shock value. You know, and as a performer, it's quite a sort of show-offy exhibitionist sort of profession. So I suppose as a nudist and a performer, it was only a matter of time. Yeah, it was going to happen. But yeah, I don't really do it for shock value, but, you know, I think the, I think the human body is fascinating. And clearly it has fascinated fellow humans since time began. Millennians.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yeah. All the sculptures and paintings since time began have been exploring the naked body. And, you know, I'm just doing the same. So we are talking about Ursula Martinez's new show, free admission. It's on at a Soho Theatre. When is it on until? When can they... It's Monday to Saturday at 7 o'clock in the main house at the...
Starting point is 00:34:52 So you can go to Sohofeater.com if you want to grab some tickets for that. And you can see her in the flesh. Literally, a lot of flesh. That's great. Thank you so much for coming in and being our guest. We're going to pop to another song now. What am I going to do? Oh, Chase Me by Danger Mouse, another song from the Baby Driver Soundtrack.
Starting point is 00:35:11 And then I promise I am going to move on from that film. You're addicted. I'm loving this songs at the moment. Here's what we know. Two men and a woman came into the bank branch clad in black business clothing. Back row and chill with Johanna James and Noel Clark on Fubar Radio. Boom. Right, we're coming up nearly to the halfway point of the show.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Wizards by, isn't it? Wow, really. You're chatting to yourself. We've got our second guest in this studio, so a huge welcome to Bryn Higgins. Welcome, welcome. Hello. We've had some fantastic names with Ursula and then Brin. I love the name Brin as well.
Starting point is 00:35:46 That's cool. Where'd that come from? It comes from Wales. From Wales. Yeah, if you're in Wales, you'll hear it quite a lot. Unfortunately it means a hill So we've had little female bear and hill Yeah I was always hoping it would mean something bigger than a hill But a hill there's a lot of hills
Starting point is 00:36:01 A hill is the beginning of a mountain Right I wish I thought of that before And you are a director Yeah And we're here to chat about your new film Called Access All Areas Which is an awesome name
Starting point is 00:36:16 Do you want to sort of like give a little synopsis about what it's about Yeah it's a feel good road movie very music led because it's about four teenagers kind of unruly kids running away from home against the wishes of their parents going to a big music festival as we all do and losing themselves at the festival and finding themselves at the festival
Starting point is 00:36:35 yeah brilliant and it's got the second generation in the sense because their parents, two parents come after them who are very very well one's a bit odd and the other's mad and angry and so they also rediscover their you know zest for life I suppose through being at the festival.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Have either of you ever? runaway as a kid. Did you ever actually I definitely had like a couple of moments where I like packed my little backpack and was like I am leaving, walk down the road and then turn around like hmm this wasn't such a good idea.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Yeah, much the same actually. I think I did. I packed a bag. I think I took a whole loaf of bread and I genuinely thought that was going to like last me. I was like that's about a month worth of food and then I got to the corner of the park and then I was a bit miffed that no one had noticed I was gone and then it started to rain so
Starting point is 00:37:21 I thought, stuff this, I'm going to go home again. Well, it's much the same in this in the sense that there's no plan in leaving home, except to get to the festival. They've got a reason to go there. There's a sort of long-lost legendary musician who, in theory, is meant to be playing. So for some of them, it's about going to see that, which is a reason a lot of people, I suppose, go to festivals. Yeah, to see that. But mostly it's about getting away from home.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I am so excited that there is a movie made. And did you shoot it actually at the festivals? We shot it at Bestival. Oh, wicked. Oh, my God. Logistical Nightmare. though, right? Not recommend.
Starting point is 00:37:52 It's not top of the book of Don't do this with the film crew, but it's quite high up the list. Yeah. Were you camping as well as filming? Some did, no. We kind of, well, I wish I had now,
Starting point is 00:38:03 but we ended up wanting to get off, you know, base for at least a bit of time. So we were in a caravan park about 10 miles away, which was a useless waste of time anyway because, you know, it's just as noisy there kind of thing and a sort of bit grim, really.
Starting point is 00:38:17 So, no, I actually thought we had a great time in some ways because you have to completely embrace the chaos and that this is not a film set this is a big music festival yeah you can't really be like could you quiet down junk people we're trying to film could you stop jumping in front of the camera
Starting point is 00:38:33 and making it because there was a lot but then after dark nobody notices anything anymore so you can get away with it all you know do you know what I'm so excited weirdly you know how I have this theory was not my theory I heard it but about how ideas kind of just like float around and it's whether it's not your idea, it's whether you're susceptible to the idea
Starting point is 00:38:54 so that's why the same idea can land on so many different people and it's kind of whoever completes it first because I went to my first ever I did, I worked a lot of festivals last year presenting so I'd never actually gone to a music festival and I did like three or four in a row and when I was there I was just inspired and I was like
Starting point is 00:39:10 oh my goodness this what an amazing story ground for a film I wish to make a film and like I was sort of like jotting down ideas and speaking to people and saying wouldn't it be great to sort of combine a sort of well I was going to go from the sort of vlogging aspect and turn that into people who arrive and then
Starting point is 00:39:26 it all turns into one story so when I was reading up all about this I was like somebody baby I did it I dropped that ages ago great so I was so excited and the cast as well you've got some amazing ladies lined up there and so Ella Pernell she was in the Tim Burton movie
Starting point is 00:39:44 yeah Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children she was I saw that twice she was brilliant in that Yeah. Did you see, how did you get her involved? Did she just come audition through and you go, it's a script-based thing, I think. Also, she actually, as you discover it in the film, is a very, very good singer. So she has a lot of music in her. So I think it was that they're attracted to it. But again, as you say, this sort of story, because it's a two-generational story, which festivals are as well, that you have a lot of young people there. But you nowadays have a lot of people who have been going to festivals maybe for a long time. So, you know, the parent-children thing is a big part of it. Because you need to. a good story at a festival because it's chaos otherwise.
Starting point is 00:40:22 That is what I found, although I just went to I Love White Festival, and I found that they literally was, it was 13 to 17 year olds running around in the little gangs, covered in glitter, and then there was sort of 40 up. And I sort of, we went and was like, where are all like middle people?
Starting point is 00:40:38 But it was literally just two kind of two generations rolling around the same festival, each doing their own thing and having a great time and stuff. And the other lady, lady girl lady girl I don't know how old she actually is in real life they're all playing they're pretty young actually oh okay they are playing
Starting point is 00:40:55 she was the amazing girl in the narnia movie so I'm so excited to see her back in the game and yeah no Georgie again just they're all very good natural actors which you kind of need if you're going into this environment where you're not very controlled they're all pretty well prepared
Starting point is 00:41:13 Jordan Stevens tends to work on the fly a little I don't think he'd mind me saying that but that's great because what he does is a wonderful sort of energy to it. Yeah. And, you know, so, yeah, they were able to sort of stick to the storyline, even though we were kind of battling our way through. You should have made a movie about making the movie at the movie set.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Well, and then, yeah, the last one who's kind of the main character, along with Ella, is Edward Blumel, who's very up and coming, wonderful, very natural actor. I don't think Edward had done anything on camera and didn't, I don't think he even knew this isn't really what you normally do. Oh, okay. Just threw him in at a festival Well, it was literally There's a scene where he has to run through the crowd
Starting point is 00:41:52 To the front of the stage And, you know, Future Islands were on Or some big band I mean, and this was, you can't rehearse this It's just camera was following him Security guys going And he just did it twice, yeah Did you have to pre
Starting point is 00:42:05 Sort of give a heads up to festival You were going to be doing this? Yeah, no, it's made in conjunction with them And with Robbed a Bank and stuff That's arranged all the music I thought you guys would be running around Gorilla style like Duck and duck into that tent
Starting point is 00:42:16 Yeah, but I didn't realize, I've not really shot at a festival before. It's a little more ad hoc in a sense than you know. Like with films, you tend to plan it very carefully and do what you've planned. Festivals, it's a lot more fluid. It's sort of like a band get in a huff so they don't turn up, so there's nothing there to film or whatever it might be. And you just kind of roll with it. That's a good thing that's a good thing in life, actually,
Starting point is 00:42:39 because I get a little bit stuck in sort of, kind of maybe a little bit of order and liking to know what's going to happen and when. and I think it's just pre-planning everything that's just me trying to control everything so I think it's a good idea to sort of actually be in those situations where you got to just like roll with it, go with the flow. You know I have a background in documentaries which kind of helps
Starting point is 00:42:57 so I knew there's no point getting angry in all this but we had a, there's a scene that has to be seen in a toilet right? It's a festival has to be a scene in a toilet and while we were shooting this scene we were waiting on we had a big row of them you know those sort of organic ones
Starting point is 00:43:13 and we selected the one we wanted waiting for the people to get out so we could get in and they weren't coming out and then someone looked underneath and two pairs of feet in the toilet and then a pair of hand sort of comes over the toilet door and it was like oh god and we've got a camera set up and everything you know
Starting point is 00:43:29 you caught on camera love so stuff like that but they'll be so chuffed if they made a little cameo that was like no they're not in it that definitely no people they weren't aware of what they were up to like the mic guy just being like you won't believe what I'm hearing
Starting point is 00:43:44 Yeah, yeah, very much. And so it's already had its London premiere, hasn't it, the East End? No, it's coming up. Oh, it's coming up. Oh, no, yeah, because we're not even in July, are we? I just can't even get what we're going. So 1st of July.
Starting point is 00:43:56 First of July, 9 o'clock Saturday night, I think, and it's finishing the festival, so it's a good film to finish with, I think, because it's a big, 28 tracks of big loud music. And so can people get down to the festival and see it there? Is it open ticket, brilliant? It's certainly the Hackney Picture House. Okay, so our, Saturday, the 1st of July, we're not there already.
Starting point is 00:44:19 At the East End Film Festival to see Access All Areas. I like the name there because obviously, you know, there's lots of boundaries at a festival. Always want to get in the VIP. Always get checked out. Never mind. Thank you so much for coming in and chat in. I'm super excited to see this.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Yeah, me too. Good. Be young again for the weekends. It tends to make people want to go. That's what we've discovered. Showing it to audiences that go, right, just want to go to a festival now. I'm going to go to a festival now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Come on southern glitter and flat, you're doing quite well. You're looking quite festively today. Just get me to a festival now. You're ready. I'm ready. Well, weirdly, Glastonbury's happening right now as we speak.
Starting point is 00:44:54 It's like the Friday night of Glaston. So I'm not going to pretend I'm not jealous that I'm not there. Okie dokey. I'm going to play, I promise this is my last song from Baby Driver now. Okay. Okay. This is the opening song to the movie,
Starting point is 00:45:09 which is, I mean, just in the way that films can inspire you. This one inspires you to go to festival. baby driver inspired me to drive really crazily fast to lots of 70 music so I'm going to pretend that I'm driving right now safety fast Johanah
Starting point is 00:45:20 oh yeah always wearing seatbelt and never Snapchat while driving kids okay there we go back row and chill with Johanna James and not Clark on Foobar radio didn't quite do the didn't quite do the join there very well whoopsie

Starting point is 00:46:27 Hi, Daniel. Radcliffe. Who'd like to speak first to that day? Hi, I'm Brad. Hi, I'm Brad, and I'm a writer-director of feature films and other such stuff. I thought you were going to say hi, I'm Brad, and I'm an alcoholic. No, well, that's... I already said that once this morning.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Yeah, I had to stop myself from saying it. Yeah, you're a writer-director and... Yes? Hayden, what do you do? I'm Hayden Hades. Not my real name, as you know. Cheesy stage name that I've regretted ever since I came up with it. But I am a, yeah, a writer and stand-up in general.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Hades of all trades. Hades of all trades. all trades. Basically, it's knobish, isn't it? I'm Daniel White. That is my real name. Okay, lovely.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Yeah, it's a bit... So many Daniels on the world. White is just a... Yeah, I know, I should just pick it to the microphone, I'm sorry. Don't look at us. Don't look at us. We're not here.
Starting point is 00:47:29 And I run a PR company for indie film and some theatre stuff. Ooh, ooh. The guy manages everything to go everywhere. Brilliant, brilliant drops. It's like dark arts.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I'm like PR of Voldemortemort. P.R. Whoa. Whoa. And what, well, there's a couple of projects that you want to talk about today. So, Brad, let's kick off with the one that's about to be released. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Well, it's funny because I was on the show a few months ago, was it a year ago, or something talking about the premiere of my movie, Hallows Eve, that we were premiering at Fright Fest at the time. And it's doing really well. We're now, it's a horror film that's being released on Netflix in October. Oh, wow. And next month it's being released, Sky Store, Google Play, iTunes and Amazon. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:48:19 It's really been picked up by all the major players. Yeah, and that's a UK industry. We have a USA distribution that I can't talk about yet, but that's on the table. And that hopefully will have news on that soon. But for UK audiences, yeah, yeah, next month on Sky and Amazon and then Netflix in October. What a little film horror. It's getting around, isn't it? Sleeping with all the big...
Starting point is 00:48:41 Film houses that. I'm exhausted. I've got a horrible image in my head. And so Hallow's Eve is a little synopsis because obviously it's a horror. It's a horror, it's a horror. It's sort of like the one page or one line pitch of it is it's a modern day estate gam
Starting point is 00:48:59 find themselves in a late 70s, early 80s style slasher. But it's got all the homages to John Carpenter. Obviously it's called Hallow Zeeve. It's really not pretending not to be. Or homage to John Carpenter. winter, but hopefully through that lens, it reveals itself to be about something else and completely different and hopefully gets people talking. Hello, Zee.
Starting point is 00:49:21 And I love the poster. Yes, thank you. Yes. The poster. All that poster was designed by a guy called Graham Humphreys who actually designed the original UK poster for Nightman Elm Street and The Evil Dead. That's why it's so good. Yes, he's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:49:35 He, for some reason, decided to help us out and give us a poster. I think we had a few beers and he said yes. And so how did you come about making Hallows Eve? Well, Hallow's Eve came about, because as a filmmaker, I have several projects on the go. You always got a few balls in the air. Fingers and many pies. Yeah, fingers and many pies. And whilst you're trying to get certain things going, there's always a part of you that's like, okay, if all of this falls flat, I need something else, something that I can pretty much get going myself.
Starting point is 00:50:05 So I wrote Hallows Eve, and then I sort of pitched it around a bit. spoke to my sales agents that did my last movie, which is called Seventh Dimension in the UK, Beacon 77 in most other countries, except France called Code 77. Why are the different names? I always find that weird when they... You have to talk to the distributors about that
Starting point is 00:50:25 because I asked that question. I didn't want it to be called the seventh dimension in this country, trust me, because that sounds like it should be on the sci-fi channel at 3pm starring Dean Kane. Yeah, isn't the seventh dimension? No offense to Dean Kane, because you're awesome, but... Anyway, but yeah, yeah, so it's it. But in France, they call it.
Starting point is 00:50:41 called it. I mean, I don't mind in countries that have different languages because you know. You have to translate it. But France can call it. France had the best title for a movie ever. And that was the French title for Jaws, which is La Dande de la Mere, the Teeth of the Sea. That's just amazing. So they can call anything they like. But so yeah, so my sales agents, I pitched
Starting point is 00:51:00 them this idea that I showed them the script and they said, yeah, and I said, look, my, I think with the right people in the right location, I can get a good portion of this movie shot off my own back. I'd like to do that because I want to get because all the other projects were stalling at the time and I was like, and they said, well, yeah, fine, if you want to do that
Starting point is 00:51:18 and we'll support you and you can then go to market and try and raise the money with us backing you up at sales agents so that people know it's going to go to the market and hopefully get sold and distributed. And so that's what I did when we shot with the help of my fantastic DP, Robert Hawwell, who has his own company and brought on amazing cameras and lenses and everything.
Starting point is 00:51:40 We shot third of the movie, basically, and then went out, and a year later we had the money to shoot the rest of it. And then, bam, and then we had it finished, yeah, for Fright Fest last year, and now it's going out into the world for people to see. You guys, well, you're properly representing what it is like to make independent British movies. It is a grind, and, yeah, so massive respect to you for that. Thank you very much, yes. And you mentioned Jaws, which, weirdly, I saw this thing pop up last night. And you know the sort of outdoor cinema or secret cinema? It's all like the rage now to go and see a film in the location or whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:14 They've done the outdoor jaws in a huge swimming pool and you are sitting in floaties watching it. I was like, I don't think I could do it. Because you'd be there and I'd touch your foot and you'd be like, Jesus! I'm definitely doing that. That's so up my own. Oh, I don't think you're kidding.
Starting point is 00:52:31 I like a bit of maybe retro horror or thriller, but when it gets to like Slash a Slash or Gore, What was it that we saw? We saw The Cundering together. And we like, me and Katie, we got pranked by the wall of comedy, which is this big Facebook page. And they told us we were going to be going
Starting point is 00:52:50 and seeing exclusive screening of Suicide Squad. And we thought, cool, great. Yeah, Harlequin, amazing. Janukin dressed as Harlequin. And I come in there, we get in there. And then I see that there's a camera set up in the thing and I was like, I've got a bad feeling about this. And then the movie came on.
Starting point is 00:53:06 It was not Suicide Squad. and we can't deal with horror and they were filmed us and it was hilarious they put the video out and there's basically we were making noises like glutteral noises that I didn't think you could make and like inventing like kind of kung fu moves that we didn't know
Starting point is 00:53:20 you could also do. I think like the strain that movie had on my heart like it's definitely shortened my lifespan probably definitely by a few hours yeah I was so pissed off and so stressed and because stuff I've got an overactive imagination anyway so when stuff something gets into
Starting point is 00:53:35 my psyche that I don't want to put in there It just does. I've got to be careful, but I've just learnt that from. And you were living in a creepy building at the time. I know. I was living in like an abandoned warehouse or something. I was like, this is not. Although, to be fair, some people came out of suicide squad more pissed off.
Starting point is 00:53:51 So, you know. Jarga. Yeah. True. True. That. Ooh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Notice I didn't say I did. Some people. This is an honest film review show. We can say what we want. Okay. Well, moving on to, I think, one of the very major exciting reason why you guys are all stuffed in this little studio right now
Starting point is 00:54:09 is that you've got a new project that we are going to be launching on the show today we have a new project we have a new project I'm very much involved as well so yeah do you want to
Starting point is 00:54:19 who wants to take the mic heyden you take the mic it's your baby right I'm accustomed to as I am to public speaking yeah it's a show that
Starting point is 00:54:33 had a strange genesis in that I think I said last time I was on that I sit and I write a lot of things and then I go, well, I've only got a budget of eight pounds. Much like a Brad Watson joint. It's like, you know, I want to make this, I want to make this amazing thing, but I haven't got enough money to do it. I have to get super creative. And so I spend a lot of time just, you know, writing things that just take place in a bathtub or, you know, in a completely darkened room.
Starting point is 00:55:03 I'd got really bored with it and I thought, well, you know what, I'm just going to write something for me so unbelievably ridiculous and difficult to film that could never be done. Think big. Just for fun, so I did. And then, well, I forget is I have no sense of time.
Starting point is 00:55:19 So by the time I'd finish doing it, about a decade had elapsed and the kind of technology had kicked in. I sent it to Brad, we eventually got round to you, and Brad was like, you know what? out of kind of the stuff that you've done and various things, this is the thing that seems most fun.
Starting point is 00:55:37 This is the thing that I'd quite like to do. So Brad got on board. And so we shook hands and then there was a montage. And then we met, you know, we had various castings and stuff and a young Jayhanna James strolled in, about a foot taller than the character was in my head. Completely different ethnicity. Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:58 And I was like, interesting. And Brad was like, no, this is. This is, like, Eris, this is that this is a character that she's going to make it work. And he showed me the film, because I was busy in the green room kind of saying hello to all the applicants and stuff. And he was like, take a look at this. And I'm like, pretty sweet. Do you guys still have my audition tapes? Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Oh my God, the embarrassing is that. We've got to release. We should release that. Yes, if we get to a certain amount on the crowd fund, we say we'll release the. That's good. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So just to wrap up.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Just to catch up where we are. Basically, this thing called Ares, which is what Hayden showed me. And I said, this is a, what you've written here is a pilot for a TV show. Let's expand it, let's turn it into it, let's come up with like a series arc, and let's create a pilot episode. And that's what we have done and we have written. And in the meantime, once we'd cast you in the main role, we decided to go ahead and do kind of a proof of concept,
Starting point is 00:56:58 tone poem, sort of thing. promo I guess which has now been dropped online and seems to be getting an awful lot of views and and off the back of that we've decided we're going to out of that pilot episode
Starting point is 00:57:15 we can create a web series so we're going to kickstart a crowdfunding page to hopefully raise the money to do that. We will raise the money because we will raise the money and basically it's for
Starting point is 00:57:30 anyone, this series is the reason I fell in love with it was because it made, right from the first page, it was making me laugh, and the sci-fi references were incredible, and it's literally, and I think the first thing I said to you when I came and I said,
Starting point is 00:57:44 this is Red Wolf Meet Hitchhacker's Guide to the Galaxy as if directed by Ridley Scott. And I think that's when you said, yeah, I think that's a pretty good, yeah, I think that's exactly. Yeah, yeah. That was exactly what I was thinking. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:55 So, ERIS, the TV slash web series, wherever it's going to end up, is going to be made, but we need your help to get it made. So we have made lots of teasers and bits and bobbins so you can get little snippets of what the TV show is all about. And we've made a Facebook page, which is
Starting point is 00:58:12 at Eris underscore series. Yes. I don't have that in front of me. Daniel's coming. We'll tell you about Daniel's involving a sec, but he's basically a mis-attack quote. We have a Facebook page, which we will tweet out in a moment, and you can go and follow.
Starting point is 00:58:28 If you want to get a little bit, a little bit of a a feeling for the series. And the moves boosh. And the moves years. And we want to get you guys involved because almost like everything like you're saying Brad is the ideas are flowing for so many people
Starting point is 00:58:44 but the funding, if the funding isn't there, the idea just never gets to come to fruition. So we want to get people on board at Ground Zero. So if you want to be part of making a TV show, really we need the help of the audience first. This is exactly how, Deadpool, this is the way around the Deadpool,
Starting point is 00:59:02 the concept, it was turned down by studio after studio after studio. Oh, wow. It was not getting, it wasn't getting at all. So what happened is they released a tester, like a screen test of it online. And it got a big social media following. And it basically turned the producers minds around. So we need to sort of come together and convince the big studios, all the little studios.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Definitely. To fully produce this series. Absolutely. Because it's not, yes, it's about raising the money for us to do what we promise we can achieve on the money that we're cheap, that we want to raise. But it's also about galvanising a fan base. It's also about people getting involved, right, as you say, from ground zero. And everyone feeling a part of growing this idea. And hopefully if it then ends up being commissioned and taken into series, everyone will see that and go, wow, I was a part of that.
Starting point is 00:59:54 That was something that I thought that I could see that commissioners can't. And because of that, now it's out there. And I think that that's quite an exciting new way that we're trying to explore. We're getting things off the ground now. It's kind of people-powered film, isn't it? It's like if you're a sci-fi fan, being involved with something like this, and actually making it happen is a really empowering thing. But if we can get it to the stage where it's actually being shot,
Starting point is 01:00:20 we can do Facebook live, we can do social media live, so we can take the viewers and the fans who've made it happen literally behind the camera, and they can see what it makes and how you actually make a film work. It will be part of the process. Yeah, and absolutely. So, that's crowdfunding. It's awesome. And we are going to launch the official crowd fund
Starting point is 01:00:37 for ERISA TV show in a couple of minutes. So we're going to pop to a song and then we're going to get all the technology ready and then we're going to go live and we're also going to go Facebook live and we're going to start, we're just going to kick the whole thing off. Bam-and-Bam.

Starting point is 01:07:45 Basically, we've created a between, well, not I didn't really create it. I'm just in it. You guys have created a really fun British sci-fi comedy series, which I think there is a series lack of at the moment. Yeah. Proper old school. So if you are a fan of Doctor Who, if you're a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy,
Starting point is 01:08:03 You were a fan of all of the hitchhiker's guides. This might be a TV series that you are interested in, but we need your help to get it started because with anything in the world of the world of film, we need funding. So go over to all the socials, check out the videos that we've already made off our own back, and if you like it, maybe you want to donate a little bit.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Absolutely. The Kickstarter link will go up on Facebook and also there'll be more versions of the videos with the Kickstarter link on them now. And even if you don't have any spare cash at the moment to give to the project, even just being part of the movement and just liking and sharing and doing the whole social media thing, every little helps. Every little like and click and share always helps.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Absolutely, because as I said, it's not just about the actual physical money to raise, it's also about galvanising a fan base so that we can go forwards and to bigger, better things with it and show people that there's a fan base that are hungry for this kind of fun, intelligent adventures. And there are a couple of prizes. If you do want to get involved and you want to join the Kickstarter, where's the Kickstarter link?
Starting point is 01:09:11 Where would that be? Trying to find it. Should we tweet it out? Yeah, because we've just launched it. Obviously, the link hasn't existed until literally 30 seconds ago. Okay, we'll be tweeting the link if you want to go check out the whole Kickstarter page and you can get to know what we're talking about, what's going on, and if you want to get involved.
Starting point is 01:09:28 But what are a couple of things that people can get in return for helping us? us on this. Well, pictures of you are mainly really, isn't it? And of me for anybody that's really into niche stuff. There's one picture of me that's on the go, but just one. Brad, like Vlad,
Starting point is 01:09:45 who's in. Just shirtless Brad on the horse. No, but I think if people do want to get involved and you want to help this series, you have the chance to be in the series as well. So if you are a young budding actor or even behind the set, I guess, you want to come down and be part
Starting point is 01:10:02 of the making of the series, then you can have access to that if you join the gift star. So basically, yeah, from, you know, it all depends on the, you know, you'll see all the donation prizes and perks that you can get. But it ranges from signed pictures. It ranges from obviously getting the series early, getting the soundtrack album early, getting all sorts of stuff early,
Starting point is 01:10:23 all the way up to set visits, being in it, playing one of the Lost Legion characters, which are these entities that are humanoid, beings created out of dust that are actually based on real living people that have been exterminated and they get recreated out of dust and yeah
Starting point is 01:10:40 and all the way up you know to massive prizes like that and obviously there's behind the scenes info some exclusive behind the scenes stuff that you can get you know there's all manner stuff go to the Kickstarter page once the link is up on the Facebook page go there you'll find it and you'll see all the perks
Starting point is 01:10:54 and just to close Dan because you have come onto the project as sort of later on in the game as almost like an immediate fan of the project. So I wanted to ask, what made you go, yes, I want to get involved? It's funny. I really hate science fiction that is billed as a sci-fi comedy and it's just not funny. It's like kind of like the last summer wine in space.
Starting point is 01:11:18 You just sit there watching an entire episode and want to gnaw your own head off. It's just not funny. And this is funny. I'm not blowing smoke up your backside, but you are brilliant as Eris. Brad's OK as a director, I suppose. Hayden's awesome as a writer. Brad's really good. What hopes me as a keyboard player as well
Starting point is 01:11:35 is Brad's really good on the synth and provides the music. That's very good. I've had the eras theme in my head for like weeks now and it won't go away. I mean sometimes do you feel like you can almost hear it?
Starting point is 01:11:47 Yeah. Yeah, almost like in the background. It's weird. Yeah, it's weird. Sometimes you can hear this theme. It's almost like it was planned, isn't it? It's like you stepped into a soundscape and your whole perception just changes
Starting point is 01:12:00 and you sublime into the... Absolutely, absolutely. And a lot of voices are softened, so we're doing overdubs now. Yes, absolutely. But it changes. It's going to get beaty very soon. Deep in the dark reaches of space.
Starting point is 01:12:11 My entire idea was, when I hooked onto Hayden's idea, and I think our sensibilities click, but I said, yeah, let's go full-on 80s with this. Let's go back to those old days of big, big theme tunes, big, big action, big fun stuff, and that's what... Practical effects.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Practical effects, yes, definitely. I'm fed up of cheap, shitty CGI. Can't stand it. Ruinning all my movies. Absolutely. And it's nothing worse. Like, practical effects that don't quite, aren't 100% real are still great. CGI that isn't 100% real is just, is mind-blownly awful.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Yeah, it's horrible. So practical all the way. And we've got a great guy called John Schoonrad who, I mean, he did the effects for the beat. He designed the beast in the Xuner. Men movies and he did literally everything you've ever seen that's cool he does all of Matthew Vaughn and stuff and he's he's he's absolutely fantastic and he's going to design our two alien because it's a trio the main characters are a trio these two aliens that have resurrected eris because eris is the last human alive and and they have they have fun adventures together
Starting point is 01:13:21 but oh and see to kick it in guys the old piano I won't say I wasn't influenced by Rocky four I can see I can hear her now. So guys, if you've just joined us, we have just launched the Eris Kickstarter campaign for a brand new TV series that I'm in, brass directing, Hayden's written. So go and check it out and see if you want to get involved
Starting point is 01:13:41 and help us make, because it's all our dream baby project to ever make this. We're going to sign out now. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for coming on. I'm going to leave everyone to listen to a little bit more of the ARIS theme tune so they can really get involved.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Thank you so much. Goodbye. Bye-bye. Boom. That was Darf. and Queen, mashed up together. What a lovely mixture. I know.
Starting point is 01:14:05 I just thought, I'm, I love, like, doing my little researches and a little, well, little mash-ups. Yeah, I'm starting to get, I basically am running out a lot of soundtracks. So I'm looking into mash-ups of people who have been on soundtracks where it's going until the next movie's out. Right, it's just gone 5.30. So the close the show, we get Lucy Patterson in to do our film review time. Hello.
Starting point is 01:14:27 So, welcome, welcome, welcome. It's the ladies. I know. I love a lady's show. Lots of lady gardens. Okay, dokey. Let's get right in. This is the part of the show where we talk about what is hot and what is not,
Starting point is 01:14:40 what people should be watching or avoiding. In our opinion, it is only our opinion. So, chill out. But it is the best opinion. Lucy's pretty good. Lucy has our own film blog, which she, do you do it every week? I do it when, because I'm on here every week, forcing my opinions down people's strokes,
Starting point is 01:14:57 I tend to only really write when something really gets me. Yeah. And at the moment, I've got a Wonder Woman post in the works, which you still haven't seen, Johanna. I heard that earlier. And the big sick, which I saw her on Monday, which we'll talk about in a second. So if people want to go and read up more, because you write really, really well, where would they go to find your... If you just go on Twitter, it's popcorn and PNM blog. Popcorn and PNM, not PMS.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Not PMS. I read that wrong. Although sometimes it is. I read that wrong for so many weeks. I was like, Popcorn and P&M. Did you actually really think that was not? Yeah, I was like, well, she's honest. that's the whole point
Starting point is 01:15:33 yeah yeah so what have you been seeing this week that you've like enjoyed well I was lucky enough on Monday to go to a press screening of a little film called the Big Sick now when I read that title I thought that just sounds absolutely horrendous like I don't know about this it sounds like a big vomit it does isn't it
Starting point is 01:15:49 but then when I read up about it and found out it's produced by Judd Appetal who basically the man is my hero he you know he's that man shaped my sense of humour I absolutely love him and then you know I did a little bit more research into and found that it's actually a true story. It's a rom-com
Starting point is 01:16:03 written by, I can't pronounce his name, Camel Nangiyani or something like that. But he basically wrote down the story of how he met his wife. And he has been quoted as saying, you know, that is pretty much the truth. That is exactly what happened.
Starting point is 01:16:21 And he plays himself in the story. He is a Pakistani background and he meets an American girl. And it's lovely to see the sort of culture clash handled in such a refreshing and funny and honest way, you know. She gets really, really sick and he ends up, you know, getting to know her mom and dad really, really well and forming this lovely bond with them. I won't tell you any more about the story because it's quite unconventional. I just got feelings.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Yeah. But I was laughing my ass off and crying my eyes out. It was so embarrassing because I was really crying at the end. Everyone was leaving. The lights came on. I was like, okay, I'll get up in a minute. It was just really emotional. I just get overwhelmed.
Starting point is 01:17:02 But it's coming out very soon. I think it's next week or something like that. But Google it, seriously. Watch the trailer. It's amazing. You'll love it. The Big Sick. At least you're not going to forget the title.
Starting point is 01:17:13 No, you're not. That's one that's really going to stick in your head. A big. Yeah. And when you watch it, you'll realize why they called it that. Although, probably could have picked something better. Not the Big Stick. No.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Or the big dick. Not the big dick. Not porn. That's going to come out, isn't it? Some sort of hospital. themed. Totally. Oh God.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Doctor's not. Yeah. No, no. No, no. No. But yeah, that was a big yes, yes, yes. Go and see it.
Starting point is 01:17:37 It's adorable. I did check out the trailer and I have to admit, it has got that same vibe as the series love and just like absolute brutal honesty that you're so relatable, you're like, yep,
Starting point is 01:17:49 I've been in that situation I know someone who is. Yeah, and it was so lovingly written. You can just tell that he really loved putting this down on paper and playing it out. And the fact that he played himself was, you know,
Starting point is 01:18:00 an added bonus. And also what I can see as well with a lot of Judd's work is that he's going away from like Hollywood visuals and putting like real actors in because the actors who are in this film are not like Hollywood looks. They don't, you know, they're very average
Starting point is 01:18:17 normal human beings that have across all his series. You know, they've got a big nose or they've tall the Frankie or they're like human actual human. If you actually look at the cart of like freaks and geeks, Yes, James Franco is adorable, but that man's mouth is huge. You know, and there's Steph Rogan.
Starting point is 01:18:33 And they're all slightly quirky looking, aren't they? And that is, you know, that's his foundation is those people. And he's just found all these brilliant comedic actors from around that group. And I just, he is my hero. I think he's absolutely amazing. Yeah, I'm super keen to see that. Have you been watching or seeing anything, Cote, and your... It could be theatre as well.
Starting point is 01:18:54 Yeah, anything. Well, I don't know. If anyone's sort of a bit bored of what's on their... Kelly at the moment or if you don't have one you're like a student and you're living off your BBC I player or 4OD then something me and my
Starting point is 01:19:11 housemates have just become addicted to is the British sitcom Friday night dinner I don't know if you're seeing it. Oh it's so funny it's so weird isn't it as well so good. Is that with the guy from In Betweeners? Yes Will from Inbetweeners yeah
Starting point is 01:19:27 It's got Tams and Greg in it Who's amazing. Yeah, from like Black Books, the Green Wing. I just love her. But it's just a really, really watchable, like, laugh out loud series about this family, this Jewish family who, their sons come over every Friday night to have dinner together. Yeah. And every Friday night, something goes wrong. And they've got this crazy neighbour who, I forget what was name is, but he was from, he was from, he.
Starting point is 01:19:59 who's been in Spaced and Greenwing as well. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and no, it's a great comedy to watch. It's such a simple premise as well, and it's so clever that just from that they can make hilarity. What platform is it on? 4OD, isn't it? 4OD, okay, brilliant. There's a lot of old British comedy gyms on 4OD.
Starting point is 01:20:20 I'm not sure whether Green Wing is. You mentioned that. I absolutely love that. I've got, like, the DVD box television. I have watched it so many times. It's so good. Do you know what a series that I've started and it was a really promising first episode
Starting point is 01:20:34 It is a series called White Gold Oh, I watched all of them Oh, you've seen it, yeah Because they're all on BBC IPlayer, all of them They're so good So I think it went up to BBC 3 I think it was an online thing Weirdly, I found out about
Starting point is 01:20:50 I was in talks with the same production company Who made that art I was interested in making something with me and Katie And so they said The thing we're working on at the moment is a thing called white gold. It's got the two guys from the in-betweeners, and it's also got Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl,
Starting point is 01:21:04 and it's about three Essex window sales, like double-glazing age salesman, door-to-door salesman, but set in the 1980s. I was like, immediately, I love it. And filmed it in my office block where I work. Really? Yep, and all around the site where I work, yeah. Did you get to see them?
Starting point is 01:21:20 No, I wasn't allowed over there. They were in a separate building, and I knew they were there, and I was like, you have to let me talk with it. Because I'm HR, I have to sort of behave myself. and I was like, okay, yeah, nobody's allowed over there. Shit, I want to go. As soon as I found out Ed Westwick was there,
Starting point is 01:21:32 I was like, somebody stopped me from going over there and embarrassing myself. It was amazing to see Ed Westwick with an 80s accent, with an Essex accent, rather than have him being his American suave gossip girl guy. And you know what, being from Essex, I wince at people who can't, who try and do an Essex accent, but it is atrocious, it's not easy to do. But when you're born with it, you notice someone who's not really, not getting it that well and he didn't actually make me wince that much at all. There's probably one of
Starting point is 01:22:00 one or two dropped vowels or something but he was really good. He was good at it. Yeah. Dolly good. Well yeah so white gold that was I mean that was it was funny. It kept me entertained and my boyfriend didn't understand what it was he goes is this in between us like ten years later? I was like no no baby. It's just got the guys in it. The thing is it might as well be because they are
Starting point is 01:22:18 basically their characters but I love that I missed them. I've missed them. I've missed them and it's nice to have them back again. Stick to what you know. Yeah exactly. Stick to what you know. I went to see the premiere of Baby Driver I was so happy for you I didn't know what it wasn't I'm so jealous
Starting point is 01:22:34 And it is I think I'm gonna say I think it was my favourite movie So far this year And I've enjoyed a lot of stuff But I think it's just so different Yeah And I was like Loving it because of the
Starting point is 01:22:48 Stylistically and just technically How it was made I could see that even down to It's all based on the songs that this getaway driver is listening to. And it's to the point where he can't get away drive unless he's got music. Like he has to start the song from the beginning and stuff. There's a scene where he has to like jump start, steal a car and jump start it.
Starting point is 01:23:09 And he can't get away. Even though people are checked, he can't until he's found something on the radio that he can drive to. I can't wait to do this. Because of his tinnitus, he can't. Yeah. Yeah, he has to have music. So stylistically, everything, the edit, every, everyone in the background is doing something to the beat of the music. It's just so satisfying to watch because you're like.
Starting point is 01:23:25 Like this is so smooth. Yeah. And there's some real, like, heartbreaking moments with his, like, foster dad, who's deaf. And he kind of steals a lot of the film, actually. Really? Yeah, this actor. Who is actually deaf as well. It was, like, when they cast a thrill.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Because he was at the... Amazing. He was at the premiere, but he was signing. Yeah. The whole time. I just can't recommend it enough on. I think I'm going to go back and pay to see it again, just because I... Yeah, I'm definitely.
Starting point is 01:23:55 going to go and see it. I saw you went to the premiere and I thought, okay, I'll give you a hand of that one. And I got a wee little clip because there's a little dynamic in there. Obviously it's a heist movie and it's like these different heist characters. You always like sort of criminals, but criminals that you can kind of love at the same time. So he doesn't use a getaway driver. He's doing very bad things, but
Starting point is 01:24:11 he's realised in the story that he's pushed and forced into it, like beyond what he wants to do. And then a couple of the other heisty, robbery people, you kind of like, you're like, oh, they're criminals but you kind of like them as well. Jamie Fox's character
Starting point is 01:24:26 And so I'm going to got a little clip here About the dynamic between John Hamm And Sky Ferreras Because they play like a kind of Bonnie and Clyde Oh wow lovely So I'll play you a little bit Oh exciting A little clip of that
Starting point is 01:24:38 I think you're the last word and crazy You're not Buddy and Darling Theirs is a very fiery dynamic They shower each other with attention They're kind of a Bonnie and Clyde situation Which is very sexy and very fun They're motivated by chasing a danger
Starting point is 01:25:00 and the excitement and the action. He's like a gun and she's a trigger. Buddy takes her hostage, shotgun to her head. We've really played that a lot. You guys perfectly, I mean, baby driver. Takila. And even before you go and see the movie,
Starting point is 01:25:21 just go and check out on Spotify. They've got the, or on like, anyway, they've got the whole, the whole soundtrack on playlist is already out there. You can just already get used to the songs because it's just, it makes me want to go driving, but as stupid. speak. Really? Oh, excellent. I can't wait
Starting point is 01:25:35 to see it. I do love driving and I think that, I think as an alternative, you know when you think oh, what else would I do? I there's a part of me that wish I'd done stunt driving. Really? Yeah, I really enjoy it and I met a lady stunt driver once and she was kind of like I want to be you. Because it was funny because she did all this stunt driving
Starting point is 01:25:51 and she was balls of steel with that but she was put on a job where she was asked to jump from sort of two stories and she didn't want to do it. So I was on the set at the time as an actor and I said I'll do it because she goes on a stunt driver I can't jump
Starting point is 01:26:06 so I ended up jumping out the building we kind of swapped roles but made me think like cool she seems so awesome I'll like drive oh wow I do like driving but the wing mirror fell off my car this week so I can't drive it until I get that fixed I would just still drive it anyway
Starting point is 01:26:23 I didn't know that it's the only mirror that you like legally require is your right what the right I would totally get arrested then because if that fell off I would just still drive yeah or Gaffer type it. But you know it's actually so hard to drive because I had to drive back from my gear with my wing mirror missing. Someone smacked into it and
Starting point is 01:26:40 yeah. Gosh, we've gone off on a tangent, haven't we? Right. More of the story, guys, don't drive without your wing mirrors. And also go and watch baby drivers. Yes. There we go. Oh my God. Wrap it up nicely. Well done. There was something else that I was
Starting point is 01:26:57 going to recommend on. It's gone out of my mind. Oh, there's loads of stuff coming out on Netflix, which I'm loving. And I watched Stranger Than Fiction last night. Is that Will Feral? And Emma Thompson. I'm so,
Starting point is 01:27:10 and Queen Atifa. I've actually never seen it. I know. I'm late to the party. It came out. I'm a big Will Ferrell fan. Yeah. And I thought it was going to be a Will Ferrell,
Starting point is 01:27:18 you know, Ha, ha, ha. Hilarity, stupidness. Yeah. And it wasn't. It was actually like a really, it was like more of a drama. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:27:26 And it was about, yeah, like, Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell, like, genuinely, you know, with his acting chops, crying. and stuff. I love seeing that. I love seeing, you know, really stupid comedic actors. Suddenly turned.
Starting point is 01:27:39 Proving to us that they are so talented. John C. Riley, Jim Carrey, when I see them, and even Danny McBride in Aalien, that was nice to see when it is. I love that. I love that, yeah. That's all sexy. That you can act. Yeah, so Stranger Than Fiction, it's on Netflix and it is about a guy who lives a very lonely life,
Starting point is 01:27:57 very repetitive office life and he starts to hear the whole of his life is narrating, by Emma Thompson and he starts to hear her voice and it's a bit weird in an abstract in the way that Emma Thompson plays a writer who has written about him and she's going to, she thinks that she's writing a book
Starting point is 01:28:18 but what she's actually doing is writing his life. So whatever she writes in the book happens in life and then it was the day that she decided to kill off the character and he became aware that it was like the day that Henry was going to die. He's like, no, so he's got a right. race to find the writer to say no no I'm real whatever you write happens um but within so I thought
Starting point is 01:28:38 oh hilarious but within that it was actually more of a look at about um driving your own train in your life yeah and who controls your destiny you or someone else and and um and because this guy's quite he's quite anal with the way you know he would he would brush his teeth exactly 178 times and he would get this exact train and whatever and it's like breaking out of your habits of your of the mundane of your life and like living life you only get one all that kind of jazz and a movie so it was a good little pick-me-up on a Sunday not, it wasn't even Sunday night last night, was it?
Starting point is 01:29:09 No, I'm not sure what it's wrong with you, it's Thursday. It was Thursday. Come on now. But it felt like a Sunday. You know what I mean? I don't know what month I'm in. I don't know what day of the week it is. What a miss. It is officially Friday, isn't it? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 01:29:27 And we are not at Glastonbury. I've worked out that much. Yeah, I'd rather not be, to be fair. Oh, really? Oh, it's too much. far too much effort. So many people in my life, I'm a festival girl and so many people in my life always said, you should go to Glastonbury? And I'm like, do you know me? Do you know that I would never put that much effort in to walk 20 minutes between stages? That there's too much to do. Is it? The other way, I can just pitch myself up by the main stage and that's it, you know,
Starting point is 01:29:51 beer in hand, well, vodka in hand. And not have to worry about sodding around everywhere. But the people that are there, you know, I've got some friends that are there, they're saying it's, you know, really a good one. Yeah. And so muddy. This year it's been, like, normally it's just like a complete washout. But this year it's been rather hot. But, you know, you don't have to go because they stream it all to TV anyway. So I think I'm just going to kick back tonight in my PJs. And just maybe make a little tent in the living room.
Starting point is 01:30:15 You do. Fault. There we go. I love it. Yeah. And I can have my... Getting some beer. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:21 Some nice food. Snacks. Get some cheesy chips. And I get an actual toilet. Yeah. But I can use it my leisure. And a bed that you can sleep in that's not inflatable. Mm.
