It is back row and chill. Yeah. And I'm joined today by my mate Kamal, otherwise known as King K, online. Not kinky, King K. Not that kind of online.

It's been on me. Double A, double way. What do you do? What do you do, Kamau? I make comedy videos and prank videos. I'm just trying to like the world to smile one person at time, Jay. Nice. Yeah, you've got a channel. So we came into contact recently online because we do the same thing.

We make funny videos. We're silly on the internet for a living. I love it. So if you want to check out Kamal stuff, go to King Kay on Facebook. At King K, AA, W, AA, W. AA, double Y. Well, thank you so much for filling in for Noel Clark today on the show. We have a jam-packed show coming up for you guys.

We've got entertainment news telling you all the what's going on in the world of film, TV, Netflix and Celebratee. Lovely. We've got so many guests. We're going to pack in as many guests as we can to this show. We're going to be talking a little bit of theatre. What's going on at Soho Theatre? We have got a BAFTA-nominated film.

The producer is coming in to speak about a movie called A Syrian Love Story. Amazing film. Which took over five years to make. So that is a passion project. Dedication. If I've ever seen one. We've got Lucy Patterson film review coming in after 530, so stay tuned to that. We're going to be telling you what's hot and what's not.

And yeah, like, what you guys... We think you guys should be watching. and what you guys should be slightly avoiding. Don't want to waste your time. Time's precious. It is. Time's money, guys. Time is money. And I had a really good expression this week, which was, you can't make more time, but you can make the most of it.

So you've just got to get really like IKEA flat pack that time. You know what I mean? Use or lose it. Use or lose it. Precisely. And I've been loving, what have I been loving? Soundtrack-wise. So what I do is every week is I check out the latest soundtracks or old-school soundtracks and I try and find songs that are related to movies or TV or theater or in some way.

Now, I've been loving and raving about the movie called Baby Driver, which is out just, it's out this week, guys, go check out in the cinema. It's, I think it's my favorite film, the favorite film of the year for me. Seriously. And the soundtrack is incredible. So I've got a couple of more tracks from them. I've got a lot of soundtracks from the new Netflix series, Glow, which is based in the 1980s.

So we're going to have a very 80-themed musical journey this afternoon. and a little bit from Brotherhood as well I went back to Norseville Brotherhood because I feel like we should be giving that a little bit more love so we're going to crack on with a band called the Incredible Bongo Band you can tell this is already going to be amazing this features in the Baby Driver soundtrack

so we're going to have a little bit boogie and warm up because the weekend is about to begin I was just saying to Kamala that is my there's the song of the week for me and I've been doing the London commute to it it and it does spice it up. That's a funky background track. I love it. I love it from the baby driver soundtrack. Right. So I think we've just got enough time to squeeze in a little bit of entertainment news. So here we go. It is now time for the entertainment news on back row and

chill. I love that bit. Right. Kudoki what's been going on. Right. Well this is this is entertainment, not really to do with movies, but I thought it would be interesting to chat about. Hit me. So music streaming and like the whole of the music charts, they're having a big old rumble up and they're changing everything about it. Because obviously what's happened recently with Stormsy and Ed Shearin is that because now they're counting streaming views to make you into the charts, it does mean that one artist can literally just dominate like the top 20 for weeks and weeks and weeks.

So they thought about this and they said, right, that's not really fair because one, basically, it's just not giving anyone else's chance to get all. Edrin, come on, Ed, give other people a chance. So they've changed it now, and as of like the, I think it's the 7th of July, they're going to condense, so 300 music streams are going to count

as one sale. So it's going to be a lot harder to get into the charts via streaming views alone. It's going to be more on sales. And they're going to try and keep it like a singles chart rather than an album. Because literally, Ed's Duren's entire album was just like number one.

It's a good album, though. You've got to give the man props. I know. But still, like, you know, what if I wanted to make a song? I'm just got shit all chance getting into the chum. Oh, I suppose. I suppose. So, you know, that's cool. And, right, movie-wise, are you a fast and furious?

I am. I am indeed. I have a confession to me. What's the confession? I have never seen a fast-and-fuel. Oh, come on, girl. It's not really my demographic. It's not okay.

I have a car. It's a little banger. It's got a cassette player. That's like how much intercars I am. So, you know, yeah I've never really and now there's so many of them like 25 or whatever

I kind of like I'm like now I'm like resent like I'm sort of presenting I hope you're saying but Michelle Rodriguez who was in most of them more than a couple of them she's actually threatened to leave the whole

franchise seriously yeah because she said that the the male cast has actually doubled it's quite a male heavy movie series anyway but she's basically saying that the lead the lead ladies aren't really getting like an equal slice of the cake. Even though the new film does have Charleys Theeron and Helen Mirren,

the male cast has doubled from the original films. And so she's kind of saying, look, either give the girls like a proper juicy role, not just a little bit of ass, or I'm going to leave the series. So I'm kind of like, I'm with Michelle on this one a little bit. Ah, the risk of sounded a bit controversial. I think that she did have a good run, though. She did have a lot of screen time at the start. I think...

Well, in the last film, apparently she went from being a lead to like a the period. Well, guess. I don't want to upset anyone, but it just sounds like she's a bit upset because she's not getting the most screen time. Do you mean so? I've got the new girls in and she shows a bit left out, man. Everyone's a bit. Maybe, Michelle. Maybe you're wearing a little bit touchy. But I think she kind of does have a point. I think that you're going to have those fast and furious because he earns billions and billions and millions they do. So maybe, yeah, maybe have a couple of kick-ass roles for the ladies as well where you don't have to be in your bra. Maybe. Consider that. Maybe. I don't know.

Think on it. Think about that. Well, apparently the UK, talking about like discrimination and all that. The UK film industry is suffering from a diversity. They're suffering. Pandemic. They suffered. So, yeah, I mean, apparently the bosses from the Star Wars and the Bond franchises in the UK,

they're facing serious diversity issues. There's no, apparently they're facing issues. The issues are here. Well, apparently only 5% of people in the film workforce have a disability, and just 3% are from black Asian or minority ethnic background. Women make up 40% of the workforce and earn an average $3,000 quid less than their male counterparts. That still happens. Girls get paid less than boys.

For sure, yeah. That's disgusting. Which is kind of crazy. I think, who was it? I saw an article about in the DC world. It was about the Superman versus Wonder Woman paycheck. What is the paycheck? And the superwoman, she was contracted

originally for $300,000. Which is a lot of money. Which is a lot of money. But when you compare it to something like the $3 million pound paycheck... Yeah, it's kind of like, hey! Okay, no, no, no, that's not okay. Just to weigh it up, though, she did get... Because the Wonder Woman film was such a big smash hit,

she has ended up getting like bonus checks and whatnot. But originally her fee was just like minuscule compared to the fee that was given... Oh, no. To Henry Cavill, so... 300,000 to 3 million. It ain't fair, you know, and it's all just, I mean, I'm, I never, ever really was that hot on about, like, sort of gender equality. Because I'd never truly face sexism.

Okay. It was only when I started working, doing comedy and working and doing stuff online that I faced first time ever sexism. And it made me really sit up and made me get really angry. So that was my question. As a theme on an industry from your point of view, what do you have you mean, do you think this is a problem? Yeah, I mean, I found in a different way, not really in a paycheck way, but in, I would say, when you make stuff for the internet or whatever, it's all about, as we do. It's all about credit. So you've got to make sure if people are sharing your videos, it's very important that you get a credit.

Because it's your IP, it's your intellectual property. It's your idea, your edit or whatnot. Where I faced trouble is where I have collabed with different guys in the industry. and people have automatically assumed that the video was not my idea, not my edit. Yeah, and I've seen articles where I've had some guys guest star in my videos and they will be credited entirely themselves.

I even have an article that said, oh, it was a joint video that I did with my boyfriend and in this sort of article it said they didn't even bother to research my name. It was Anne Friend. That time it was Unfriend. It was, yeah. No, no, it wasn't Anfriend.

It was, it was. it was Jub Tube Tube, made this funny video, and woman. I literally was called and woman. That savage. I couldn't believe it.

And I was like, imagine if it was the other way around. And any video that any of you guys were making, imagine if it was credited to me or the girl that was in your video and they called you and guy. Oh no. You would just be like,

shut the door. What? So now I'm actually, I'm a little bit sparky about it. Yeah, I'm quite in there because at the end of the day, you're working. just as hard as anybody else.

It doesn't matter what kind of genitals you got. You could have this one, that one, half a one, whatever. Maybe not half for one, but, you know. Whatever you got down there doesn't really matter when it comes to creating whatever your art is. So, yeah, I'm quite hot on this now, so I think that maybe... Girls, you're just as valuable as boys. Exactly.

It's the chat of land you have to use for girls in a club to get... I'm joking. Boys are just as valuable as girls. But what the good news is is that in the UK the BFI is using a 20 million pound boost from the National Lottery to launch like a 10-point action plan. So they're going to try

and get more people involved in the arts behind. And I did hear something about the BFI actually saying that for a film to be able to be considered by the BFI it has to have at least a 50% gender equality and ethnic equality.

So not necessarily. on screen because it would be a bit unfair because if you had a movie set in, I don't know, 18th century Sweden, ain't going to be many black roles in there. I see, I see. But it doesn't mean that the crew or the producers or whatever can't be. So I think that's kind of, you know, well done. We're stepping up, but we're still just so far behind. Like, come on.

Get it together. 2017, people. Jesus. Uh-huh. Right. Lily Collins, you're aware of who she is? I am briefly, but dig my memory. She's Phil Collins' daughter.

But in her own right, she's a movie star, and she's been in things like that, Snow White and, no, Mirror Mirror with Snow White with Judy Roberts and many, many other films. And she's done a Netflix original movie called To the Bone, which is portraying a woman with a young girl with anorexia. Okay. Which she lost a lot of weight to play. Actors, putting that work.

Uh-huh. But what was interesting is now, because of this film, Lillik has come out to say that she actually had anorexia. for herself. So it was kind of like a passion project and like a personal project to see whether she could face a role with a character who's faced something similar to her.

But she was like, she's talking about it a lot and she's getting all the eating disorder sort of discussion going all over. And she was saying that even when she lost weight for the role so many people were congratulating her on her weight loss and saying, oh my God, you look amazing, what's your secret? And she was like, this is the reason why the condition exists because everyone's being praised

for being skeletal, which is like, hmm-hmm. I was talking to girls in the modern industry as well. It's a hard industry. Yeah, for sure. You have to go for a lot, and it's upsetting that way where that's glamour, as because think about a couple decades ago,

when you were overweight per se, that was celebrated. Yeah, for sure. That meant, well, that meant. Back in the 80s, it was all about, like, power bodies, rather than, like, Oh. Boy, yeah.

So I think that... Pray, man. I think it's brave of Lily to bring it up. It must be very personal for her. And I mean, what do you guys think at home? You guys, if you want to get involved with the conversations we're having today.

Oh, you're asking that stuff like that, yeah? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay, let's get a popid. We're getting the audience involved. Jump in. If you want to tweet us at Fubar Radio,

you can let us know. What do you think about Lily? What do you think about the industry? Do you think the industry is sexist? Have you experienced any racism or sexism in the industry if you work? No. No. Let us know we will shout you out

You can also email into the show Chill at FubarRadio.com And we will shout you out there as well Can they call? Is it a calls? We could get some couple calls in But we got such a busy show to do Sorry sorry, sorry, not calls, not calls, no cause. Right, so we will come back to a little bit more

entertainment news after the break I'm going to go back to a little bit of music I think I'm going to go from one of the 80s tracks now From the back But from inspired by, or no, from the actual soundtrack of Glow on Netflix, if you have not checked out this series, check it out. It is, just in a nutshell, it is about some struggling actresses in the 1980s in L.A.

who auditioned for a woman, a female-only wrestling TV show. None of them know how to wrestle. Like it. And it's all complete amateur, but it's hilarious. So it's a comedy with a bit of drama. Set in the 80s, it's absolutely bang on the money. And I started to watch it. And the first my boyfriend was like,

oh, what's this? Women's wrestling. And two episodes in, he was like, no, wait for me. I'm watching two. I'm watching two. I'm watching two. So, absolutely.

So we're going to go, we're going to go a little bit. Spin it. Come on feel the noise. We're quiet riot. And we've got our first guests coming up on back row and show. With Johanna James on Fubar Radio.

Johanah. They forgot that button. Next time, come on. Next time, guys. Next time, DeHana James. And Camon. Right, we've got our first. guest in the studio so a huge welcome to elf lions welcome welcome we'll do two-finger

pet two-fingapet there we go and yeah so huge welcome I'm loving the name by the way elf lions thank you very much like two my favorite well one magical creature one real yeah it really annoys French people when I say my name if if lion what are you part French no not at all but I spent the last year in France at clown school because I make fantastic drunk life choices. Why not, you know? Yeah. Because I wondered if you were because by complete coincidence,

I ended up seeing one of your stand-up shows. Would you call it stand-up? Or would you call it? It's an entertainment slash stand-up. It's an stand-up theatrical extravaganza. That you use language really well in it because you did half of it in French, half of it in English, and it worked really, really well.

So I wondered, I was like, oh, is you French? No. Oh, God, I'd love to be as stylish as a French. I'd love to be French as well. I just love the baguettes. Love the baguettes and the wine. No, I'm not quite as classy enough to be a French, French woman. Well, to London.

You're London-based. I'm London-based. And you are here to talk about your, we've got a show at the Soho Theatre, so huge congratulations for getting in that venue. It's called Pelican. Could you sort of let us know why that is? So my mum has always gone on about how I never talk about her on stage. and how I always talk about my dad and talk about how amazing he is,

and I never talk about her. So I thought to show her that I love her, I decided to do a stand-up show about how I sometimes wish she was dead. Wait, did you say to show how you love her? Yeah. Okay. It's like a love-hate show, just an honest representation of mother-daughter relationships,

and I do the whole thing dressed as a dressage horse. And it is all about just, you know, that fear of turning into your mother. Yeah. But done in a sort of, I talk about moving to France and how. having a crazy 45-year-old ex-French lover and how my mum sort of fits into my life. And I talk about if I had a penis, what would happen? And I mean, it's probably not the best representation of the whole show,

but it is a good, fun, silly experience. I mean, I do have to add, you've just dropped my memory now, actually, because you did talk about what it would be like to have a penis in the show that I thought you do. Talking about what you would do if you had one. I mean, what was one of the things that you would do if you had? Well, I mean, it was only one thing in particular. And it is, if I had a penis.

I have a penis so I can vouch for her, guys. Okay, well, hold yourself because I'm going to blow your mind about all the things you can do with. I dip it in yogurt. Pardon? Yeah. Would you ever dip it? Do you ever fancy dipping it in yogurt? I tend to eat yogurt.

I don't tend to dip my penis into yogurt. Why would you dip your penis into yogurt? Just going to be really nice. Just think it would be really nice, really soothing. Yeah. I mean, you know, all the flavors. If anybody didn't know listening you cannot taste

yogurt through your penis just so you're aware Well other people can Just saying Never know It's turned into a fetish thing now And that was really Mine was just a really

innocent thing But I bet you I bet any money now That everyone listening right now Is imagining If they had a penis Would it be like to dip it in it? Please no one dip them

If they do have a penis They're imagining Dipping it in yogurt Try this at Hope We do one of those I think we should Let us know Tweet us at Food Bar Radio If you've dipped in yogurt

Don't you, guys. And what flavor of you do? Get back to yourself, guys. We've opened up a can of worms. A horrible yogurt-tee cultured can of life. Ooh, well, you know, we'll leave that lovely vision with you guys. I'm really sorry I brought that to you today. So is this your first?

Oh, you did Edinburgh Frint? Mm-hmm. Okay, so that's where everything's sort of transferring. You're one of the transfers. I'm indeed. Yeah, I think this is my, what? That is my third solo hour, Pelican. So it felt really good.

I did it at the Voodoo Rooms last year, and I've always done my shows at the Voodoo Rooms up until this year, because I'm doing Pageridge this year. But Voodoo Rooms was just such a lovely space, and it's such a lovely venue. And, yeah, every day I'd come out, dressed as this beautiful dressage horse,

this lovely designer called Haley. She made the costume, and she studies at Central St. Martens, and I come out holding coconuts and dance to lime in the coconut, and then pretend to be a dresser horse. Yeah. That's amazing. That's how you start your shows.

Do you get scared doing one woman shows? Because it's like, oh, it's just you. It's just you and you. I think that's why I like it. I really like it because if it's a bad show or if you don't perform to the best of your abilities, you've only got yourself to really blame. Well, if you're in an ensemble, I think there's so much anxiety and stress.

For me anyway. Yeah. And I was always awful at team sports. Like I was so bad at netball and lacrosse. But things like swimming I was really fine with. Yeah, because you've got control. Totally in control, yeah. And I like being myself on stage and being with an audience.

I love it. It's amazing. So if people want to go, they're liking the sound of this weird and wonderful wacky show, when can they see you? It's on next Friday and Saturday at the Soho Theatre. Okay, doco. Get down. Go and celebrate pride and then come afterwards. Yeah, you'll be in the area.

So that's Soho Theatre, 7th and 8th of July. We are there already in the year. Yeah? How crazy is that? Oh, don't even get. If someone just pointed at me and go, What's the date? What year is it? I'd be like, in March?

I don't know. I still always think that 2007 wasn't long ago. I know. In my head, I always imagine I'm still a 14-year-old girl at Enemies. A really cool thing to read. It's like 10 years. 10 yards. I remember Sonny Erickson's on Bluetooth on the back of the bus. I don't know about you guys.

Junior Eripple phones. How cool they were. Oh, certainly things. Blackberries, MSN. Moore magazine. I know. I had a BlackBries. I didn't tell that one.

Oh, I love Totally Spies. I didn't watch it, you know? Totally Spats. I don't know that is. Yeah, we're just, we're regressing. Memory Lane, I love memory. This is brilliant. And so why Pelican, if you were addressed Sarthwart,

so is that going to be giving too much away? It's a big reveal at the end of the show. But my mum's obsessed with birds, and I've sort of taken on a love for the birds, so all my show's now a bird-related. Yeah, because last time you were performing in a massive parrot costume. Parat costume, dressed up as a swan. I do it all.

Do all the birds. What's your favourite bird? Oh. Oh, goodness, I don't know. Oh, there's somebody to choose from. I'm quite, I know I'm really into swans at the moment. I'm learning a lot about them and writing about them. They can be quite vicious, aren't they? Yeah, they can't.

Well, people say that I could be really boring, but people say they could break your arm. They really can't because their bones, their certain structure that the way they're made isn't strong enough to, it could bruise a baby. Like, you could break a child's arm. Okay. But not like an adult. So they're all quack and... I don't know. The guy punched a kangaroo for his dog

so you never know what situation you can find yourself of him. I live in Kingston and there's a legend of like a really angry, bully swan. They're just bullies, all the other swans and all the humans unless you feed it and stuff. So apparently it does it. It attacks drunk people and everything. Legend has it.

My favourite fact about swans is that 4% of swans in Poland divorce. You learn something new every day. Wow. I didn't even know you that you did. And adultery is rife among black swans. Where are you getting this information from if you may have? Did you talk to someone personally?

Swan Wikimedia. The Swan Whispera. We just opened up and bonded. When I went to a zoo recently and the McCaws, which are these like gorgeous, massive parrot things, they mate for life. So you find a little partner and that's it for life.

They're really monogamous. Monogamous. That's the one. I struggled to get over that word. which I found like super cute and so I was like I'm gonna find myself on my core I know Ziva has black and white stripe guys that's my animal knowledge for you guys

I'm not very... What a knowledge brilliant So if you've just joined us We're chatting to Elf Lions about her new show Pelican I'm gonna be on a Soho Theatre next week 7th and 8th of July From 9pm which is a good time

Yes I think is it 930 930pm no My little press thing says 9pm then Get there for 9 if it's 930 and get a little drinky people. Go that early, have a drink, and someone will tell you what time it is on. Someone will just usher you in.

Always good to get that early. And how long's your show? Are you going for, it's like an hour? It's a solid, solid hour of fun laughs and weirdness in a dark room. That's good. That is optimum concentration time for most adults. 45 minutes to an hour. Oh, fact central today.

No, aren't we knowledgeable? I feel like we're showing off a little bit about our knowledge facts, so we need to just chill the fuck out. Tweet us, guys, your knowledge facts. See, I did it. Anyone of homes got any weird and wacky knowledge about anything to do with birds or whatever. Tweet us at Fubar Radio and we will shout out your little knowledgeable nugget. Instead of the penis and the yogurt.

Or, you know, I'm still waiting on someone to say that they've tried dipping their penis and yogurt or their imaginary penis in yoga. That would make my day if someone did that. Amanda Heckel me last night when I chestered about it. I was doing a gig at The Glory and I did the routine. This guy just went, I've done it and it's incredibly overrated. Oh wow Which just had so many more questions You can't see me but I'm my mouth opening

In shock right now guys By thinking who's been banging on about You know what you need to do You know what you need to do Clive go home right now And dip you Do this And was it for an audience

Was it just for himself Was it for health reasons I will not lie right I am thinking about going home And dip by seeing it Yeah I told you see it's getting in your mind That's because you keep talking about it You're going to be in Tesco's

And you're going to see it and going to go Oh, no. What flavour? Should I go for vanilla? Or is that a bit boring? Should I go for a bit of Greek style and honey? But it might sting if it's not natural. Oh, you would not go for honey.

That's just a... You know, that's just thrush waiting to have. That's just the thrash waiting. But we counteract it with the yogh. But anyway, anyway, a huge thank you for coming on, Alf. That's amazing. And I was so glad that I did get to see you perform and I'm so glad you came in

because I didn't catch your name because it was so busy that night because I was also performing after you, so I wasn't really focusing on anything, but like, my lines! And yeah, so now I was asking you, I was like, who was the girl with the big pigeon parent suit? Because she was really good and I want to see her again, so amazing. Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed that.

Yeah, everyone was raving about you as well. So go see this girl, people. You will not regret spending your pennies on it. We are going to pop back to you another song from the 80s. This is The Look by Roxette, and then we've got our next guest on Back Row and Chill. Back Row and Chill. on Fulbar Radio

and Kamal patchwork. We're getting in there, guys, we're getting in there. It's Jahana James and I'm joined by Kamal today. Otherwise known as King Kay. Online, not King Key, King Key, King, K, K, K, A, W. King, K on the Tintranet. He's spinning in for No Clock today.

And we've got our second round of guests in the studio, so a huge round of applause to you guys. You guys are the peeps from the Quentin Denton. Don't do it wrong. The Quentin Denton Show! Damn it! I even practiced that before. The Quentin Denton Show.

Welcome, Hannah and Luke. Huge, thank you for coming on. What is the Quentin... Oh, do you know what? You just say it. Got ten. Do you want to take that one, Hannah? So, the Quentin Denton Show

is a new rock musical, which is playing in the centre of town in the West End at the moment. At a studio theatre called the Tristan Bates Theatre. It's just opposite the Palace where Harry Potter is on. And it's a new rock and roll musical

about a guy called Quentin Denton, played by Lou. And it's all about him coming out of the radio of a normal couple. They kind of summon him from the radio, kind of like the genie in Aladdin. And he gets beamed into their lives and he teaches them how to live their lives

through the medium of rock music. Oh, that is actually my life. No, I'm joking. I'm hoping to come out of the radio to everybody else knows. Yeah. And are you within the show? Are you behind the scenes?

I'm the producer. Oh, amazing. Okay, so you're driving the car and you got your head out the window. Like, woo! The dog with the head out of the window. Tom sticking out. So how did you get involved with the project? How did you...

Well, I did the project last year as well. We were upstairs at the arts last year, last May. So I just auditioned with a shower of other people. So I had been on tour in a van with three other people for five months, looking for any and everything to do when I got home. And yeah, saw the casting and then went in in front of Hannah and Henry the writer. And Caldi, who's now our choreographer and co-director, last year. We did an hour-long version of us upstairs at the arts at 10 o'clock at night, which was awesome.

And then it came back around, and now we're doing a six-week run, and the show is now about 100, 105 minutes. Wow. So, yeah, with an interval in the middle. So don't worry. the attention spans will be fine. It's an hour, break, and then 45. Lovely, lovely. Especially if you've had a drink.

That'd be nice. I don't want to dip your beer. Yeah, you need time for the yogurt. You know what I mean? Like yogurt break. Gosh, actamel, through the roof sales there. And it's been described as the Rocky Horror Picture Show for the new millennium.

So has it got sort of big nods to the Rocky Horror? Well, the nods are more subtle than that tagline, perhaps. suggest. It's similar to Rocky Horror in the kind of concept of a normal couple, Brad and Janet in this case a couple called Keith and Nat, encountering a stranger in Rocky Horror, that's Frank and Fulter. In this case it's Quentin Denton who tries to tell them how to live their lives differently and opens their minds. So in style it's very similar as well because the music in the show is all original. written by the wonderful writer Henry Carpenter

and it's all inspired by 70s and 80s glam rock so in a way of a kind of similar style to Rocky Horror but what we have that Rocky Horror doesn't have is we've got an awesome live three-piece band playing the score every single night and I was told to leave my fish nets at home so I'm actually in a white suit rather than

in my cross-carter you know Frankinferter You know, I mean, under the suit, who knows, but for what the audience get to see. Oh, you're in a crisp white suit? Is that a nightmare logistically, costume-wise, every night to have crisp white sheet? Shoot? Suit. Yeah, I mean, it's not too bad, but it does, you know, by the end of the week, you're kind of going,

that might need to be dry cleaned. Yeah, I go to the dry cleaners about once a week and I text Luke every week just to tell him that the suits being dry cleans. Oh, yeah, it's sweaty. Oh yeah, it's sweaty. Especially last week when we opened and it was like 35 degrees outside. Oh my gosh, yeah. It was dying in their theatre,

and I always ask, because anything to do with life theatre, I have huge respect for it and also like a fear, I get so nervous before like live, life, if I ever do anything live? How do you deal with nerves? Or do you get nerves or how do you like?

I don't know. Because usually I just, I'm very, I could be quite annoying, I suppose, because I just get really excited before the show. Do you know what I mean? Whereas with this, because Quentin is quite

he needs to be quite commanding so when we start already on stage when the audience come in three of us are already on doing various things so then I get to leave and then come back on and make a big entrance so actually in terms of nerves that's okay because I don't

have to do anything as the audience come in there's nothing set and then I get to have a big I'm here and because of the kind of character it is I get to put my stamp on it straight away whereas Shona Riley and Max Panks who play Cat and Neath

No, Keith and Nat They have to play it far more straight Because they're just in their living room At the start and eating pasta You know, so they just have to play it differently Whereas I can play it up and like really lean into the audience To kind of shout those nerves away basically But I know the show quite well now

Because I did it already So yeah I feel kind of I'm more excited about just getting out there And you know singing some songs And has anything gone wrong with the run? Oh, the last one of them. There's fun things. I mean, one of the things which, okay, I'll just say it the other night.

So because we're now, you know, we've done the show, I think it's about our 10th show tonight. So because we're getting quite used to us and Shawna did the show before as well. So we did it together. She's done it many times. But there's a golden microphone, which is used quite a lot. of course and it just went missing as in it had been on stage

we knew it was on stage and I turn around to pick it up and it's not there and I have to give it to someone luckily it's I have another mic anyway but we're then thinking as the scene everything's going on the audience have no idea

and I'm going where could it be where the fuck is it gone and I realised it it slipped down the back of the couch as everything does in life so then it's playing a game of when do I next sit on the couch and how can I get my hand rammed down the back of the couch to then rummage for us?

So that it doesn't look like, oh, Luke's there looking for his prop, exactly, you know? But it turned out okay. It was just, there was a lot of looks of me because everyone assumed when we went offstage when we were chatting about it, everyone assumed that I just took it as if I was like, no, no, guys.

I did assume you. Yeah, exactly. Sabotaging as if I don't have enough to do in the show. I'm like, no, I will take the mic now. It's like cheating. That is, remind you, have you seen? the play that goes wrong? Yes, my friend's in it at the moment actually. I absolutely

adore that play. I've seen it about four times because I rave about it and then people want to come with me and I'm like, oh, fuck it, I'll see it again. So I've seen it, like, literally the box office are like, you again, okay. Actually, I'm going to see it with my parents. My parents live in California and they're coming over to see the show on the 15th and they

just book tickets for us to go. My maid, Sean Kerry is an understudy there. So he's, I think he's doing it tonight. Oh, I see. Yeah. But that just reminded me because that plays all about, obviously, things going wrong and it's like I think it's just extra funny anyone who's ever been involved in sort of theatre or performance or anything like that backstage or front of house or in on the stage you're going to get like an extra level of hilarity because you've been there in that moment and it's that

panic you see that brilliant panic when you go to reach for a prop and it is not there and you see literally the thought of do I just pretend that there's an invisible prop or do I use something else in exchange for that prop so true and you've got about three seconds at a side it's like I'm just going to pretend that this chair is in fact a scheme. That's what makes it great. It's amazing. That's the bit that you love because it's that panic on stage and then the five of us all on stage are going,

right, let's figure this one out, shall we? You can work together. It's like, don't panic and we're all going to communicate with our eyebrows and make sure that we all land. Yeah, it's brilliant. That's what I love about a theatre. So guys, if you're just listening in right now, we are talking about brand new.

It's definitely musical, is it. It's rock musical. It's rock. rock, it's inspired by 60s, 70s, 80s. It's huge. It's a huge sound. Definitely get down to Tristan Bates Theatre. And it's on until the, oh, 29th of July. Oh, day before my birthday.

Wow. I'm thinking if anyone's listening, Mom. Your birthday presents. Want to get my birthday present. Brilliant. And you've already had your press tonight. You've already done that and got out of the way. You're well into the run now.

So, yeah, all the best for the rest of the show and break a leg. Thank you very much. And thanks so much for coming down. And, you know, talking about, Like, you're getting penises and stuff. Oh, my God. It's brilliant. Pleasure.

I mean, if I wasn't here, I'd just be talking about it with someone else. Exactly. Same, bro. You know what I mean? We're just taking it into another level by putting it on live radio. We're talking about what you're actually thinking. Let's not lie here. Right.

We're going to go back to a little bit more of my soundtrack, movie soundtrack. I'm going to go for a bit of Billy Joel. Nice. Eats. Considering, you know, you guys doing 80s, we'll do 80s. So we're going to do moving out. We're going to come back with our next guest on Backroom, chill. Jahanna James on Fubar Radio.

Welcome, welcome back. We're nearly halfway through the show. How are you finding it, come on. Amazing. This is so fun, I love it. You are, you're doing brilliantly, darling. Oh, stop it. Stop it.

We have our third guest in the studio, so a huge welcome to Elham. And you're here to talk about your BAFTA nominated movie. Oh, star. Oh, so I'm a producer and also a programme. I have these two different hats. Okay. And so a Syrian love story is a film I made. It was finished two years ago.

It followed the journey of a family from Syria from 2009 until today. And we didn't know at the beginning of the film that it would become a story about a refugee family. But that's something that happened. Oh, for sure, because it's all kind of evolved, doesn't it, with the whole Syrian situation? Absolutely. Yeah.

So when did you start filming again? It was 2009. So at that time, Syria wasn't really in the... kind of international spotlight in the same way as it is now. In fact when we finished the film it really wasn't in that place either so it charts this whole journey

and it sees you know it sees a reality at a point where the country was very much as it still is you know under authoritarian rule but at a point where it wasn't at all possible to protest on the streets and so the starting point was you know the

husband was looking after five kids, four kids alone and his wife was in prison for speaking out against the regime. And throughout the course of the film we see things develop. I mean, the revolution starts, which means that people start openly protesting in the streets

and she gets released and at this point it's the first time she's ever seen anyone else actively publicly protesting. And a lot of things happen until the end of the film. It's a completely crazy, unexpected journey. And logistically, filming, did you come up against any sort of big roadblocks that you had to get over to film?

As the country sort of got more and more intense with its situation, did you find that impacted filming? Yeah, I mean, so the film's director, Sean McAllister, has, had been making films in the Middle East for the last 10 years. He'd made two films in Iraq, both under Saddam and after Saddam's fall. So he was, you know, he'd spent a lot of time in the Middle East and he was actively looking for, You know, he knew Syria was a totalitarian regime, and it's something that people didn't talk about. He wanted to get under the skin of that, so it did involve filming outside of, you know, the norm, as it were. There were a lot of journalists in Syria at that time, but people weren't necessarily presenting the same picture as what Sean was interested in finding out about. So, you know, he's a one-man band with a small camera.

And how did the BAFTA nomination come up? about. Was that kind of, was that always a goal or was that just a surprise ending to the project? That was definitely a surprise ending to the project. I mean, when we finished the film in 2015, it was before the refugee crisis as we know it now. So it wasn't, you know, people, in the UK, there was no interest to distribute it. It was felt to be too much of a risk. It wasn't really telling a story that people felt was important at that time. And I decided that it was a really important story we'd spent five years, six years working on it. And we had a responsibility, I guess, to the family also within the film. And so we booked a number of cinemas ourselves,

and it just, it kind of coincided with the picture of little A. Lan Cordy washed up on the shore. Oh my gosh, yeah. Just a couple of weeks before. And this completely changed people's perspectives about the refugee situation and what that means. And they, you know, people just became very hungry to find out what was going on and try to understand it. It was screened two days in a row on the BBC, so BBC 4 and the next day on BBC 1. So we had this, you know, from being a kind of, you know, independent documentary that had a specific kind of expected life,

it went to being filmed that was seen by about 2 million people just in... Oh, wow, it grew. Big numbers. Just in September alone. So I think that's very much where the idea... Well, the BAFTA nomination was for myself and the director as a kind of breakthrough. It was, what was it for? I think it was called something like breakthrough something.

Outstanding debut, that's what it was. Oh, amazing. Outstanding. There's a nice title. I know it's quite nice. Yeah, an outstanding debut. Yes. And if people would like to, if they're interested, they'd like to see a Syrian love story,

where would they be able to best access this movie now? So, Syrian love story, it screens on, it's on the BF. player, it's on iTunes, it's on Netflix in the UK. Oh, amazing. And it's been screening, you know, consistently over the last two years. We've screened it in universities all over the country. We've screened it at festivals all over the country. And I think what's still so incredibly moving about it is that people write to us almost weekly still to say that it's changed everything that they thought about refugees.

I have to be a fan here, guys. Please go and watch the film. It's such a beautiful concept. And yeah, honestly, just for me to you, yeah it was lovely seriously seriously seriously thank you for documenting that the world needs to see things like that because they're not seen they're not spoken about so yeah guys go watch that I think that's one of the best ways at the moment

to when because I the media I think there's so much distortion about what's shown what's hidden what's not what's especially there's like mainstream media and then there's online media and social media and news and stuff because there's so many like fake articles or so many yeah and so I think that film

especially documentary film in particular, but also mainstream film. It is like the way to reach somebody and actually put like a genuine... The truth out there, basically, without it being... Well, with this film, you follow a family over five years, you see these kids grow up, you know, there's so much that's relatable in it.

It's basically a family story and the backdrop is political. The backdrop is the fact that they become refugees. But, you know, the heart of it is that it's a marriage breakdown. And there's something about that that's so intensely relatable that, you know, it doesn't matter where you're from and who you are. And, you know, whatever age and what your experiences are, you've been disappointed by someone in your life for sure. And so when you see these scenes, you can relate to them so intensely.

And then you think that's compounded by all these other realities. And that's what it is that really makes it, I think, so relatable. And are you still in contact with the family? Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah, we're in touch there. all in France now, if that's not too much of a spoiler. And

they're all well, and they use the film as a way to also talk about the situation in Syria and give platforms to speak about the reality of what they live through. Are they stood together? No spoilers, but they're are together. You can nod or shake.

Well, it's a spoiler. We don't want to spoil it. No spoilers. No spoilers. And it's going to be part of the Is it pronounced Shabuk? Shabak. So this film in particular isn't part of Shabak, but very much the thought process behind having made this film

has informed how Shabak was curated. And, yeah, if anyone doesn't know what Shabak is London's largest festival of contemporary Arab culture. Exactly. So Shabak means window, so it looks to be a window onto the Arab world from contemporary Arab artists from all over the region. And, you know, I curated the film program in knowledge of, how much misunderstanding there was about the Arab world.

And Syria in particular has become incredibly visible on our screens. And it felt to me that it was very sad. Not that it's not necessary to see some images. It was very sad that the country is only being related to through the idea of destruction. So true. And there's something about, you know, Aleppo, for example, Aleppo was like the jewel of the region.

It was like the Paris of Europe. You know, it was known for its soap, for example. And I would love for people to know that about the city. And to really understand what it means, therefore, that it's been destroyed. And also kind of reflect on that reality in a different way. So the whole program has been curated around these two ideas of understanding conflict in a more personalized way, I suppose. Understanding conflict in a different perspective. And the idea of imagine a future, because after the reality of what's happening in the region,

Also the idea of what do artists from the region imagine as the next step, the future? Well, the best way is to educate and relate. So, my film is one of the best mediums to do that. And if you guys are interested in checking out the Chebac Festival, it's screens at the Barbican and the Institute, France, says, first half of July. So that would be the place to check out the website there to go and see. Because I think it's super important, especially now as tensions are rising. Yes.

That's what I was going to say. This is the time. God. Because it's even, I've even felt like a little spill of it because my, my boyfriend's Arab. And we are, we're on the internet a lot. And we, I have noticed that we do get, there are the occasional really savage hate comments and things. And I can see that it's someone just purely uneducated. And they have never been exposed to sort of the other side, the other side of the coin, the other side of the story.

The other side. Or it's just recognizing that, you know, there is more, the Arab world has an incredibly, you know, diverse and interesting culture. And to realize that we're not talking about people who are different and other, but people who are exactly like us who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. And definitely film can be an amazing way to see that. To do that. And also see, you know, the, I don't know, inventiveness or humor with which artists try to reflect on that.

So I don't know where your boyfriend, where's your boyfriend from? He's a big mixture. he's Palestinian-Lebanese Algerian So he's kind of a mixture of all the middle So I have a little question for you off the back of that Okay You've obviously seen a zoomed-in version of a very personalised people in relationship

And as a world isn't perfect at the moment I mean I'm just curious to see what would you Say is a way that we can move forward And really strive to understand because you've had that personal experience For people what would you say to people just to raise their over-intelligence How would we create a change in the world is a better question from your experiences that you've seen? I think there's something around critical thinking,

so actually questioning the things that are being relayed as simplified messages. And thinking about the other side of the story, thinking about, I think anything that tends towards dehumanizing is really problematic. There's no need to actually, this idea of humanizing people is kind of crazy because it suggests that in the first place that there's the assumption that some people aren't human. Cherry too as well. Oh, you know what I mean?

I would say, Khamal, for me, I would say that I, sparking, not being afraid to spark conversations with someone, and just asking questions. I have two friends who I have literally

just hounded them with questions about, one girl I used to go to school with and one's my boyfriend's sister, I just hound them questions about their culture, their religion. I actually have got a question about Islam because I, all I know is kind of

from like movies. So just from your experience And then I'm gone, oh, I see, something's like that, like that And I realised just how many similarities And so I think just find someone, find a friend of a friend And just ask them loads of questions And I assure you they like won't be They're actually like more than happy to tell you

They're like, please, this is so fed up with the media's portrayal Or movies portrayal Please let us like, you know, just speak to people It's the same with anything I agree and I suppose it's also knowing that one person Doesn't represent everyone for example That is so true. Say it again, girl.

Say it again. One person does not represent everyone, okay? For sure. Thank you so much for coming in and speaking to us. It's about a Syrian love story which you can check out Netflix. Netflix. Go and check that. It's all over the place.

So thank you so much for coming in. I'm going to pop. I think a bit of Queen. This is from the Baby Driver soundtrack. It's kind of like the finale of the whole movie. And I actually, Queen's one of my favourite bands. And I never come across this song before. forth. Thank you. Freddie Mercury, Iranian.

Ah, yes. It all links in. Love it. I'm going to say that I meant to do that. Not a narrow, but still, I'm Iranian, so that works. Here's a bit of queen. This is back row and chill. This is Paterson is Kent Jones. And usually I like to be in the front, but right now this is back row and chill. Woo, Camas face on me. What's popping is Kamala Sili on Vacrow and Chill? I like that.

I like that one. Oh, God damn. We are on a roll. It's just gone 5pm on Backrow and Chill. Yeah. bar radio. I'm really excited to talk to our next guess. Proper hats. This concept is just amazing. We are talking to Isabelle and Dora from

Shipface Showtime. Hi. Hello. A huge welcome and please let us know what shit face showtime is. Trust me. Yeah. Hand over. We do

musicals. This year we're doing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Lovely. And four hours before the show, one of our cast members starts drinking alcohol and when it comes to the show they are allowed to do whatever the hell they like on stage and it's up to the rest of us to get through it and see what happens oh my god that's that I mean yeah so is this was this a spin-off of the drunk Shakespeare yeah we're from the same company okay

yeah because I've heard legends about that show yeah yeah so they've been going for eight years and then we kind of we're like the babies of the group and we joined about two years ago and started doing musicals so more dancing more singing a lot of more to go wrong basically to get muddled up yeah and you encourage the audience to drink along with you oh that's a good question always i mean always drink responsibly yeah but um why the wizard of oz particularly was that who's idea was that and where did that come out of the bag um well when we start We started we wanted to do old-fashioned musicals because we just think it's more funny when there's a higher height to fall from

and Wizard of Oz is like a classic in that way Everyone's expecting, they know what's about to, should come. Everyone knows it, everyone did it at school or whatever and there are songs that everyone knows in there. And there's also a lot that the drunk can play with with the plot. So we had our preview shows in Brighton a couple weeks ago and the Tim man decided that he didn't want to find a heart, he wanted to find a boyfriend.

So for the rest of the show we had to go through the audience. trying to find a boyfriend for the Tim Man and like figuring out how to weave that into the storyline Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. So you guys, your improv skills must be really sharp. No, that's just about to say. So you don't panic and just...

I mean, yeah, you've got to be prepared for just the most crazy things. One of my favourites actually was when it was one of Izzy's drunk nights. Oh. Izzy? And she, do you know what I'm about to say? No. Oh, could be. Have you ever done this?

thing with an iPhone where you get your iPhone and you ask Siri to read out a text that's got emojis in it? No. Because Siri reads out emojis and he literally goes It'll be like Baby Angel Smiling Pile of Pooh

Yeah, you know that one It literally is called Smiling Pall of Pee Or there's one that goes like Asian Idiograph meaning good homework And Izzy like got Siri and Held him up to him Mike so that the whole like literally everyone in the audience could just hear Siri reading out these messages

and like how the hell do you weave that into a musical do you know what's amazing all the other cast members were like seething what the hell do we do from here yeah that's pretty wild to just throw that card in now that's it I think that's exciting because when I go to a show I get I take on performers nerves

even though I'm a member of the audience I remember when I first went to see Matilda they came out and they made an announcement to say that it was the Matilda's first ever night and I wish they never told me because of the whole thing I was like go on go! It's like a mom like

oh come on! Yeah I was feeling nervous for her and like she was absolutely bossed it she was fine she was like walking backwards singing on stage and stuff and I was just like what but I get that I get a bit nervous for performers

so this show I'd be there like I'd be thinking I'd be getting cramps and kind of all kinds of tenseness do you know what it's going to happen people have said like when they've come to see the show that like when they're see the drunk they like feel really kind of like mother like maternal towards them like after

they just like oh how are they getting yeah they just want to be behind them we've had a lot of people like make friends as well from the drunk shows like alan everyone always fancies alan after his drunk shows all the boys always like yeah yeah they really do like people always fancy the boys and they get Yeah. They get like DMs on Twitter and stuff. Like, hey, saw your... We're there like, oh, okay. It's great for you, babe.

Yeah. So what do you drink before you go on? What's your drink of the show? Well, it's different for each person. I love Prosecco. I also love Sovibe. Sovignon Blanc. It's not a drink of juice.

Is it you like rum, don't you? I'm a bit of rum. Yeah, I'm a rum girl. Yes. Bit of Coke and rum. It's just like whatever you drink to get yourself into the party. Mood rink. Has anyone ever got ill mid-performance?

No, no. We give out a precautionary bucket at the beginning of the show, so, you know, we've got all bases covered, guys. I just had an idea for a T-Total version of the show. Okay, I'm just going to throw it out there. So all the cast drinks, a lot of water from four hours before the show, and you're not allowed to pee. so the entire show is based on people needing to perform but desperately needing the toilet because I think that might bring a whole new energy oh it would bring it would bring energy that's sure it would be shit-faced it would be like what would it be

piss holding yeah you're catching enough we're catching enough we're working on it we're working on it we're taking to the board but I think there could be something in that because you know like Joey from Friends in that episode where he goes to audition he really needs the loo and he ends up nailing the performance

because everything he does is out of desperation Yeah, you think that's so true though. If you ever gone to an auditioning, you really need a wee, and you go in the room and suddenly you don't need a wee anymore, you just like, where does it go? Does it go back up? I don't know. But actually, we always have drunk, we have so many drunk performers who before the show,

they're like, I really need a wee. And we're like, you actually can't go now. It's too late. You'll just have to go in the middle of the show. And so much of the time they don't end up going, because they get on stage and they're like, I'm the star. Yeah, it just goes from their minds.

It's weird. I do think that, I mean, I have felt that, you know, when you go to the gym and you think you need a wee and then suddenly you don't. I think you do reabsorb. If anyone's like a doctor out there listening, like, what happens to your wee when you need to go and then you don't need to go? Where does it go? Explain the biology.

Exactly, please. Tweet us in at Fubar Radio. Where does your wee go? Or email in chill at Fulbaradio.com. Please help us because I'm stumped. I'm stumped. I'm stumped. I'm stumped with that. You know, same with poo as well. I've been there. Okay. And this question. Where is the poo go?

Where does a smiling poo emoji? If people are like, yeah, I want to go and see a shit-based Wizard of Oz. Where is it on and how do people go and see it? So we're on at the Leicester Square Theatre. We're on... We're on every Sunday at 8pm through July. So we're on from this Sunday coming to the 23rd. And then we'll be at Edinburgh Fringe,

at the Cow Barn Medquod from 10pm for the entire month. So there's a lot of boozing coming up. That's going to be a very expensive. Is the alcohol putting the budget of the show? Oh, good, yeah. We get drunk for work. I'm happy to get involved in this show, you know. After sliding.

Honestly, the first time that we went alcohol shopping for the show, how funny was it? We were just walking around, walking around Aster, like, and we'll have more beer, and we'll have more proscego, here's the company card. It's literally saying.

You know those moments, like you're like, is this my life? Is this my life? Yeah. And what about, the hangovers though because you're going to be like drunk and then performing and drunk and performing

so you know what actually I don't get I get more hungover on a normal night than I do do don't shit your head but there's true that you do I know it just annoys me that you do because Izzy wakes up the next day after her drunk show and she's like off to yoga

at 10 a.m. Like I wake up the next day after my drunk show and I need a fry up yeah it's ridiculous but I feel like we look up because after the show You have enough, like, there's people looking after you, feeding your flap jacks. That's true. Cheesy chips. Always cheesy chips.

And water and stuff. And, like, you know, when you go out yourself, you're not going to look after yourself as well. Like, I get home, usually just neck a cup of water and get to bed. Do you what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So actually. I don't get drunk guys, so I wouldn't know.

Just doing it upbringing. The holy wine for you. well this is such a cool concept I love it and has anything gone wrong like what's the worst kind of like ow shit

we had in our first year in Edinburgh like the boys kept on trying to outdo each other when they were drinking which is not something that we encourage now we like try and move away from that but like I think one boy just got too hot one show and ended up taking his

shirt off and then it just progressed and we basically ended up having one of our cast members entirely strip like even take his pants off and he was just like holding his uh... Janet Taylor yeah and he was literally

like climbing over the audience like totally naked balls and face like you imagine some people would like that though yeah and we've also I mean shit face Shakespeare have had a cast member order like 20 dominoes to the theatre once

and they turned up after the show had finished. So then the cast just had like eating it for the rest of the week. So you're allowed to take it to literally wherever you want to take it. All the mad are the better. That's amazing. That is. I want my job. I want that job. And just lastly, how do you know

if you're sort of drunk enough to perform? Is there a certain level of drunk that is like, she's stage ready? We get used to how each of the cast members kind of react to the alcohol. Because there's the alcohol and then there's the adrenaline of going, okay, you're allowed to do what the hell you like in front of?

of 400 people and obviously you're pissed like the adrenaline goes through the roof so it's like a combination of that and the drinking. Yeah, so it really depends from person to person. Like for me I don't really seem that drunk

until I get to, I don't know because obviously I'm drunk so I don't know what I'm. I think I seem a lot more drunk when I've got to the theatre because it suddenly hits me and you go like oh my God. Yeah, totally. Whereas like for Izzy, you can normally tell physically and how she is.

not in a bad way just like you know you can see very tipsy in there with loads of sober people you know so but we learn like a lot of our cast members we basically like hire our mates because we know how they are as drinkers and we get used to how they'll react to it and we can like really monitor them

and we want to look after them and they want to look after us and I mean I struggle to like remember my lines and where I need to go when I'm sober so if I was drunk I'd be all over the place I'd just start doing a whole other play or something I don't know what I'd do boy well this is amazing so just to recap it's shit face

show time the wonderful Wizard of Oz and you can get it at Leicester Square Theatre so check it out I'm super excited for you guys thanks so much for coming in thanks for having us this is making me want to go have a drink and like for a person show don't know if anyone would pay for it

I'll pay for it Jay I'll come a little team my own right let's go for a bit more music I'm going to go for this is a young emcee. It's from the baby driver soundtrack. I'm obsessed for this movie. You've got to go see it. It's absolutely brilliant.

I've heard good things. Baby driver. Is this a little bit of music kit from it on back row? And chill? Who by Radio presents? Sticky Blood. What were you talking about last time, time? Whether Jeremy Corbyn should be Prime Minister. Because a lot of shit's happened.

I don't think it's over yet. The positive is that a lot of the extreme things, that Renew Manifesto. I've gone. Because she's realised people don't like me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's bollings. I feel like she's full of shit.

I feel like she knows now what to put on the front. She didn't know what to put on the front before. Whereas now she's like, oh, put that in the front window. I'm hearing like, dirty. I'm hearing words like, dirty meetings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dirty dupies. Dirty dupies.

Daily dupies. Get out, toddlers pack. Every Monday. Sticky blood from 6 p.m. Food Bar Radio. Oh, what an intro. interesting show. Lovely.

This is Backrow and Chill. We're nearly at the three quarter way free. Oh man. We're flying high, coming into lens, but not yet. We've got one more guests, or two guests on the show. This week, TJ, who often co-hosts with me here on the show, he went down and he met the actors from the new movie All Eyes on Me, which is the biopic true story of Tupac.

Have you seen the trailer? I need to watch that trailer. I saw the trailer this week, and yeah, it's super, super interesting. He met actor Demetri Shippe Jr. who plays Tupac, which I was like, oh my God, that guy has got balls to take on such an iconic role. Especially so, it's still relatively soon after he died. It's like, oh. It's going to get watched like that. And Kat Graham, who plays Jada Pinkett Smith.

Oh, Jada Pinkett Smith. Well, Kamar was just over, over, boldover, overwhelmed. With the fact that Jada Pickett Smith dated Tupac and now was Smith. So that's a lot of, yeah. Got, so what you said, gone, that's a lot of... That's a lot of... That's a lot of prolific dick that she got a... there. Well done, Jada.

They're both very gorgeous men. And yeah, so this is the true and untold story of the rapper, actor, poet and activist, Tupac. So this was T.J. meeting the cast from that movie. Here we go. Back row and chill on

Fovar Radio. All right. So Demetris and Kat, how are you doing? We're great. We love the UK. Oh, man. And the UK loves you. Well, I certainly love you after watching a film. Can I say absolutely amazing performance by you both. Thank you, thank you.

All right. So let's get into the questions. This being an autobiographical film, all right? How is it different to prepare to play a real person as an actor? Because you know, usually when you're acting, you're playing like a fictional character. So you kind of have creative direction as to where you want to make the character go or how you think they should be. But obviously, the characteristics and mannerisms are based on real people.

So how did you go about preparing for that? Well, me personally, I've never played anybody else. I wouldn't know. But, you know, just doing a great deal of research, you know, studying the people. Yeah. Myself, I just watched Tupac all day. I would record myself, you know, learning Tupac's interviews. Okay.

Saying it with, you know, with him, you know, like next to the TV, I record the Tupac interview saying it. Yeah. Yeah. To get the boys. I admit. The cadence, you know, a whole lot of stuff. Yeah, I really honed in on your mannerisms. And, you know, like, he always looked through, through his eyebrows.

I know you had that steely look back. I'm watching you, bro. Very well done, I must say, and yourself? Me, yeah, I mean, we're fortunate that we had a lot of interviews to look at, and we had movies, and, you know, Jada had done a pretty good body of work by the time, you know, she was in, even her in her late 20s, so, you know, I was able to kind of tap into that.

Yeah. Look at interviews. There weren't that many of her speaking on Pock, but the stuff that I did see was pretty emotional, and there was a lot of, of love there so it was really important that that um you know i honored that yeah did you get to like maybe meet some of the real people of course you never got to meet part but did you get to meet some of the real people that were in in the film you know well we met the outlaws which was crazy

i don't want to ruin the film but you know um when the outlaws was in the um the final scene and just like that's the part that kind of broke me because you know these these guys really you know they worked with him and and they were i knew they grew up with him you know i'm saying so That was hard for me, even just as a person, as a fan of music. And man, just watching them be a part of this was crazy. I mean, LT, obviously, he worked with pop. He's not just like the producer or the creator of the project. He's a really renowned music producer and worked and, you know,

and even produced over at Death Row and produced for Snoop even told me, which I didn't even know until I did his cooking show with Martha Stigard a few weeks ago, that LT had done a bunch of records for him. Okay. So, you know, he's been in the game for really long time and wanting to bring his personal touch and his personal, you know, experiences and love for his friend to the big screen.

How was it recreating some of those famous scenes that Park was in and Jada had been in, like, reliving those moments? Especially yourself, you got to recreate some of the album covers and stuff like that and the music videos. How was that? That was fun. The music videos was a great time. You know, I remember, like, the day on

said what I did the same song. That was dope. You know, some of the hand out when people come in, I had the outfit. Yeah. It was like one of the, I think it might have been like, last days before we had like a little break or something. But it was just cool, man. And then recreating like the juice scene.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know it was one of the most fun moments is just like being on set and seeing Meach run around.

He'd like show up in that gold dashiki. And then next thing I know he's got like the gum being. And next thing I know, he's bald. And it's just like, I don't know which pock I'm meeting that day. You know, I'm going to lunch. I come back. He's like in a suit, you know. It's just like, it was really, really fun for me to watch him just completely jump to different years.

And he just did these time jumps so quick and had the mannerisms and had the attitude and the the innocence that Demetrius showed when he was younger to like when he was a bit, you know, after prison. Huh? Oh, man. What? What? That's somewhat of a spoiler. But I really wish that the pizza scene. Oh yeah, well maybe that'll be in the DVD.

Yeah, they have to. That was so dope. Yeah. So it's interesting because you get a deeper understanding because I think when people think of Pock, sometimes they just think a thug life. They think of the Tats. They think of, you know, I get around and they, you know, California love, death, you know. They don't, you know, Meach brings so much vulnerability and such character to Pock that you really like, you fall in love with Pock all over again. I really enjoyed your scenes together.

Thank you. Me too. And, you know, like the poem scene. Did you get much time to rehearse together and build a relationship? Because you handled Jada like really delicately. You know, I think you really captured her like beautiful. And that was so good. That relationship, it was just so real.

Like I forgot that I wasn't watching, you know, Park and Jada. Like, you know what I'm saying? It was just crazy. It was such a beautiful scene. So how did you get to build on that relationship? Or did you have much rehearsal? We always had that relationship even the second we met. That was so crazy.

I honestly can't remember a person recall at all, like meeting a person and becoming like instant like friends. You know what I'm saying? Like me and Kat, that's what happened. Like when we met, it was like we was, you know, we was just good. You know what I'm saying?

We hung out a couple times and, you know what I'm saying? But at a certain point, you can't like, you know, you can't just create energy. Like you just can't. Like you can try your hardest and be the best actor in the world. but, you know, we just wanted to do the best we could to bring our friendship to the screen too.

So just quickly, so in the UK, we have a music, a genre, a style of rap called Grime. Have you heard of it? Hell yeah. Yeah, you like a bit of Grime? Okay, you haven't. You need to get into some Grime, yeah? Okay, I'm going to give him some Grim rappers anyway.

So there's a guy called Getz. He's got a song called Top Free Selected. So this question is based on his song. So who are your top three selected rappers? Now you've played a movie. You can't get fired, so you don't have to necessarily say two guys. Top three rappers ever? You are your top three rappers ever quickly.

Yes, guys. Go on the spot. Pressure. Tupac. Yeah? Jay Z. Yeah. Kendrick Lamar.

Okay. And? Um, uh, uh, uh, most death. Oh. Um, not in any order. Obviously, um, Pock and, um, I don't know. I really like groups, right? So I love, like, the roots and I really love, um, far side and digible planets.

I could just, yeah, so just, yeah, so just, um, I don't know old school hip-up. I don't know. I'm on a timer guy. I go bye. Okay. Thank you, guys. Thank you very much.

It's been great interviewing you. I had so much more questions. And I could like interview you for many more hours and watch that movie for many more hours. Yeah. Maybe come to this Q&A tonight. Yeah, come. Brilliant, guys. And I'm going to definitely hook you up.

Oh, man, that'd be great. And maybe I'll hook you up with some, you know, training shops and so on and so forth and some grand music. Guys, have a great thing. Thank you very much. Awesome. Thank you. Such a tune. I have like, yeah, been busting a few moves.

embarrassingly in the studio, the cameras were on. I forgot the show. Oh, no. Right, we are coming into our film review section of the show. Lucy Patterson. Hello. It's back. Back again.

Back again. Yep. This is part of the show where we just review what we've seen. We've been watching, loving, hating, hating, online and cinema. Anywhere, really. Netflix. Whatever. The old school television.

Yeah, just that even happened. Exactly. Yeah, what have you guys seen? I don't want to kick off with... Well, I sort of delved into Amazon this week because, you know, it's been sitting there for a while on my prime account and I haven't really bothered to look what's on there.

And I know of a couple of shows, you know, transparent and American gods and things like that. I thought, okay, I'm going to look for their original shows and see what I can find. And I found a couple of absolute gems. Completely different ends of the spectrum, both of them. But the first one was, was, it's a show called Red Oaks.

It's actually been out a couple of years now, I think, and I think they're bringing out season three this year. It's, Craig Roberts is the star. He is a filmmaker in his own right. He made submarine and he made something with Emil Hirsch, and I can't remember what it was called, but he's amazing.

It's like, it's only a half hour show. It's American. And it's like this lovely mixture of like Caddyshack and all of the teen movies you've ever seen. It's set in the 80s. Oh my God. I'm a lot. over it really. It's so funny. It's that

dry humour mixed with some slapstick stupidity that just that mixture works so well. It's got something for everyone in it. Yeah. And it's got like the who's who of 90s comedy in it. Paul Reiser and Tate Donovan and there's loads of different faces

that you'll see when you start watching it. And I'll remember the face. Yeah. And it's set in a country club and it's his summer off from college and it's just about all the things he gets up to with his girlfriend and the owner's daughter and things like that. It's like a bit of a porkies, like I said, mixing with Caddyshack. And it's just so good.

You know, they're all smoking weed and doing this and that and the other two each other. You got me now. So, yeah, it's really, really good. It's really funny. And some amazing directors, actually. And I didn't realize that until I saw the credits. You know, I didn't really do much research. I thought, can't just watch it.

Don't fill your brain with other stuff. And there were Amy Heckling. She directed a couple of episodes. David Gordon Green, who Pineapple Express. You know, there was some serious. people attach to this and I can't believe I'd never heard anything about it. Yeah, well I've never heard anything about Redd's no so off the way. So get on Amazon, get yourself a prime account and watch it. It's amazing. It's definitely binge-worthy. And you can now, because before,

I think I was, I was a bit hesitant to get a prime account because you had to pay yearly. But now you can pay monthly. They've, you know, come. I think it's like $7.99 a month and it's like, and it's so worth it. So worth it. Not only can you get that forgotten birthday present the next day, you know. You do. And there's all vintage films on there and things. You know, there's other channels you can get from there. So it's amazing. I'm being completely in love with it. Lovely. Yeah. Yeah, I'm down with that.

I have been, well, I'm going to switch over to Netflix because this is what, this is, I'm so excited about this series. I'm so annoyed that I finished it all in two days. Good binging, though. It's Glow on Netflix. Oh. Which I heard, someone mentioned it, like, oh, you should watch this glow thing, and I was like, what's about? Actually, Ozzy mentioned something about that.

Yeah, it's, I don't actually know. It's wrestling, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. So, and what I realize is it's a true well, dramatically true story. There was an actual TV show in the 80s on Saturday morning TV which was an all-female wrestling. Brilliant. Never heard of it.

It was called Glow and you would win the Glow Crown and what they did, it was all a load of silly. Well, I mean, a silly as actual wrestling is. Well, yeah. So they all had their own characters. And this series is about these sort of desperately failing actresses in L.A. in the 80s

and they decide to, the only thing they've got left is to decide to audition for this new TV series. To be a wrestler. Yeah, none of them know anything about wrestling or anything like that. So they literally start from scratch. And the reason that it really caught me, one was the absolute homage to all things, 80s, the soundtrack.

Whoever did the design and all the costumes and the hair, like it wasn't like a kind of 80s style. This was the 80s. Yeah. It's absolutely bang on the money. I've seen a lot of promo pictures. That alone is sort of sucked me in. I'm like, I'm going to watch it.

It's brilliant. So it is a comedy. and Alison Brie, who was in How to Be Single and a couple of other sort of American comedies, she is now taking her like first lead that I've seen, a part of lead. And she absolutely nails it. Excellent. And her comedy, she does, awkward moments, like, brilliant. Obviously, so she's there and she's playing this actress and she desperately wants to be a real actress and she's having to be in a wrestling show.

And she's in the ring and she's just like, I just don't know what my, like, what's like my purpose? I just need something What's my motivation? Yeah, what's a motivation in this scene? And they're like, just do the fucking move. Just choke slumber. And she's just like, but what if I'm Russian? It's really so good.

I love that. And it looks like, it does look like quite a girly show. But like I said earlier, like my boyfriend was like, no, I don't really fancy it. So I just had it on. Yeah. And then he got gripped. And then he got pissed off that I dare watch it without him.

So he's like, I'm watching it too. I'm like, all right. Fine. And the episodes are only sort of 25 minutes, 29 minutes long. I like that. That's good because you can really just sort of get going, get right into it. You can get right into it. You can do like three, four episodes in what would be a movie. Yeah.

I think there's 10 episodes overall. And it's just like my favorite series. Wow. It really makes you laugh. But then also there's drama in it because it's kind of that main Alison Brie character. It's also about her best friend. They're best friends. And then you discover that she, Alison Brie has slept with the best friend's husband.

Spoiler! No. That is the premise of the And she turns up at the gym on the auditions To have it out with her in the ring Ends up getting a role on the show too Brilliant So the whole of this thing is like

She's a head, they're both headliners Of this wrestling show But they have actual They actually want to kill each other Because of the Well there's her motivation Fuck her up There's the brilliant

So check out glow And a lot of the music I've been playing today Has been from the soundtrack To the whole series It's been brilliant. So I would say, yeah. I mean, Kamal, have you seen anything this week that you've been loving or hating? You did Amazon, you did Netflix, I do mainstream cinema.

Excellent. Transformers. Oh, okay. That was the movie I was trying to get into. So when I had my meltdown in Sydney World, that was what I was trying to go and see. So please tell me that I didn't need to go and see it because it's shit. I've got bad news. So the problem when you do see movies, when you do more movies, it can lose the plot line and it can start to water down.

Yeah. Yeah. The humans were fighting the transformers in this one. And I don't really think that you can go against metal and really, I mean, the transformers were transforming and threatening them when the humans were standing there with guns trying to shoot. Yeah, right. I'm saying, I understand about it not being real, but bumblebee would hurt you in real life.

Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was a bit, personally, it let me down because it just wasn't real enough. This wasn't really enough. Yeah. I didn't like it. I don't think it was real enough. Good, I'm pleased about that.

I heard rumors, though, that it was, even though, it was the best one, it was the funniest? What were the gags like? You know when you're on mindset and you don't, you didn't like it in general? I just wasn't feeling because as soon as I saw them fighting the robots, I just didn't, I couldn't connect with it.

It just didn't feel. Sometimes you think this film is shit and I'm not going to laugh at it. I just for principle more than anything. It upset me because I had high hooks. How much is a film I had high hopes. How was Laura Haddock, the British actress? Because I know her.

Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that case, she was amazing. No, she was very, she was very, good actually to be honest. Yeah. But to be honest, I'm,

when I see a character from the start, I like to see them through. Yeah. I still miss Megan Fox. Even though she killed it. Yeah. I saw Transformers as Sam Doohickey

and whatever Megan Fox is like that. Yeah. So it's like, Michaela. Yeah. But I mean, she did do well. I mean, I haven't seen her anywhere else. I'm sure she is. But she did do really well.

But for me, I have to rate that rotten tomatoes. I didn't really feel the Transformers. Okay. All right. Well, that was, okay, that would be a... Oh, hello. Oh, wow.

Sounded Dix? What are you? I'm a funny to you start now. Okay, well, I went to see, I got invited to the pre-pree, pre-pree screening of the hitman's bodyguard, which is Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. They've done a movie, which I didn't,

all I saw was a poster, so I just went along to see, like, what is it? Now, I really, I actually can't talk too much about it because it is embargoed because it doesn't come out in August. Spoils, both. But I am going to be interviewing Samuel L. Jackson next week. Oh my God. That does that the sound effect.

Oh, hell no. I press the button, guys. I rupert shock to me. Oh, hell to the no, girl. It's not that kind of radio show. I promise you that. Yeah, so it was actually really good. And it's essentially like a buddy movie

between Samirangelo Jackson and Ryan Reynolds. Is Ryan Reynolds just being Ryan Reynolds like he always is, though? Yeah, he is being a toned-down. Deadpool kind of. I mean he always is but the fact is it's always good to watch anyway. It doesn't matter, does it? That's exactly what I wanted. I was hoping that he was going to be Deadpool and it is it's a

you know the synopsis of the story is that it's a bodyguard, Ryan Reynolds owns a bodyguard service. I know what you're talking about. That film looks epic. And Samuel Jackson is a hitman and they obviously from two opposite sides and it just so happens on a job with Interpol Ryan Reynolds has to protect

Samuel Jackson hitman and they have his and they have beef. Oh, brilliant. And it is really brilliant. And some of the comedy, and you can't, what I learned about it is that you couldn't see where it was going. You know, a lot of things, you're like,

oh, here we go, here we go. And just as you think, you know, roughly where it's going? Suddenly you're like, where is this film? Oh, and then that happened. Okay, right, right, okay. So it was brilliant, and I'll be able to tell you a lot more once I've spoken to Samuel.

Lovely. Did you see how we're already on. First term. First time, basis. Oh, cool. So jealous. All right, well, I have got a, I've got lots, we continue doing

our reviews after this song and I've got one more song to play before the end and I've also got, which I've prepared earlier, a movie facts, not a quiz, I'm just going to be telling you some bit of trivia. Oh, I love it when you do this. I know. It's like when you did the thing where people like died on set

and stuff like that. Exactly. I've got a 10, 10, top 10 movie trivia for the week so that's going to be coming up. Lovely. I'm going to play this song from Brotherhood and bringing back a couple of your brothers. Throwback, hashtag, hashtag. Hoback?

Hoback, Hoback, I said. No, this is regularly by Jamie Joseph. And if you don't know, this is a part of the movie where I'm in and I get like a gun in my face.

Okay, here we go. Loving that song. Vocals. Vocals. Right, okay, I think it's time for my sci-fi movie facts. Oh, very excited. But I did a lot of research for,

so to end the show on a bit of knowledge. Lovely. Before you're going to get pissed and forget all of them. Yep. Okay. writing, righty.

Number one. The club featured in The Matrix. Oh, no, maybe this might be better if I just put a little, hold on. Here we go. Oh, my God. So dramatic. The club featured in The Matrix was a real S&M club in Sydney, and all the extras were actual patrons of the club,

and they were just asked to come in their own costumes. Oh, crap. So they're all real people and real S&M phonetics. Oh, lovely. Nice. Growth. Diff a beam. Number two, the spacesuits costumes in the Ridley Scott Alien, the original one,

were so poorly ventilated. That was a lie. That the actors, they kept passing out from CO2, like, inhalations. Including his own kids, because his kids played certain roles. I think for perspectives, they put the smaller people and feel parenting. I know, so his kids kept passing out. Can you imagine? That's a child abuse case right there.

Right, duh. It was the 70s. Number three. 150 post-apocalyptic vehicles were made for Mad Max and destroyed for the movie. That was also a lie. That was a lie. The X signal was lie. Yeah, that's right.

That's crazy. Number four. The term Blade Runner does not appear in the original story. No. Which is why it's like, why is it called Blade Runner? The reason why it was borrowed from another film. film treatment that really's got red and he liked it so much she was like well I'm gonna call this movie Blade Runner but it was nothing to do with the movie not in the

original story and it was someone else's film bold move stupid move obviously it's a bold move I love the name of it so you're not all the moment well done um Elliot in the film ET never got a last name shit shit yeah it's never mentioned so he's just Elliot so awesome factroyd good one number six To help pitch the Terminator movie, James Cameron had actor Lance Hemrickson dress up like a cyborg, kick in the producer's door and intimidate them for 15 minutes.

Oh my God. Wow. Okay. No, kicking the door to the board meeting and intimidate them for 15 minutes and then they got a gist of what was going to be there. That's a long time as well. That's a long time to be intimidated by a cyborg.

I'm not going to lie. Clive Owen's character in Children of Men does not pick up, use or touch a gun for the entire... Tirey the film. I actually never noticed that. I don't notice it, but Clive Owen did not touch or use or pick up a gun. I love these little fat boys. Yeah, no, for real.

We look into things deeper. Not more. Oh, the last one here, last one to wrap up the show. Star Trek 2, called Wrath of Khan, was supposed to be called the Revenge of Khan. But it was rejected because it was too similar to Revenge of the Jedi. And at the time, the special effects team was working on both. So, kind of had a say. And so Star Trek got...

shunted to the side and called Rathokane because it's too close to rent it To be fair that it's pretty iconic now so you know Exactly worked out yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah It's so good I love them You can now impress your mates in the pub tonight I'm like, didn't you know

Next pub quiz I'll be smashing it Never touched a gun in the Did you know I mean I do it all the time anyway And they're like you're so boring loose Don't be a hater Off the top of my head I just remember another Children of Men factoid In the movie Clive Owen's character wears a t-shirt

that says 2012 London Olympic Games. Oh yeah, I knew that one for some reason. Which was not surprising because now we had 20. But when the movie was made in 2006, we hadn't won then, that way. We hadn't won the game. So they just, they predicted on the off time. So I might get it.

Affirmation. That is. Believe in use I'll achieve. Yeah. And the movie is set in like 2018. It's not as scary as Simpsons predicting Trump as president. No, we have to put that in there. We have to put that in there. Right.
