Starting point is 00:00:21 Thank you very much for co-hosting with me today. Thank you for having me. You are an actor. For my sins. We met many years ago On a very weird office job We did, that was bizarre one That was...
Starting point is 00:00:34 They employed actors to work on the telephone lines And we met him again mates And I thought, come on, you'd be brilliant If you can chat on the telephone You can definitely chat on the radio I mean, a little bit different But I'll do my best Yeah, we haven't got angry people calling us up
Starting point is 00:00:46 No, we really don't I will hopefully not Hopefully not That's nice people contacting the show today, please We have a huge show A jam pat for you guys today We are talking about the Edinburgh Fringe We're going to be looking at a new show
Starting point is 00:01:00 called The Great British Mysteries, which is like a kind of a mashup of TED Talks slash mockumentary. It looks pretty, I haven't really seen a show like that, so I'm interested in talking to the guys who made that. Jube's going to be in the studio. Lucy Patterson, she's broken her foot, I think, or her toe.
Starting point is 00:01:18 So she's not going to make it in today, but my good friend Kevin, who is a massive film buff, is going to be coming in at 5.30 for film reviews, so stay tuned. and Chris I'm going to be walking you through the show or what we do now every week I put together a little compilation of my favourite soundtrack songs from movies or shows
Starting point is 00:01:36 or anything that I'm loving so I think we should start off with a little bit of maybe Guardians of the Galaxy because when you think like movie soundtrack that's got to be up there best one for the last few years definitely for sure so this is Fox on the Run by the Suite this background chill we'll be back after this
Starting point is 00:01:53 What an opening. I was just digging all the way through that. That was from Guardians of the Galaxy. Two. Part of the soundtrack there. If you just joined us, it's Johanna James. joined today by... Chris Skegan. Hello.
Starting point is 00:02:18 We're going to be riding this show till the end today. I think it's time. Every week we like to kick off with a bit of an interesting... Entertainment News. Easy for you to say. Yeah, I know. Let me just put my teeth, then. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:02:30 So here's now time for the entertainment news on Beckerw and Chill. Oh my gosh. I like that. I always wanted to be on like a news reporter, but I could never be
Starting point is 00:02:41 an actual news reporter. No, you can't do the voice. Entertainment news. I probably could, but I can't keep very straight face. They've got to look really solemn and sad, haven't they? And I would just be like,
Starting point is 00:02:51 I would just, no. I've got too much of a rubbery face. You do have a bit of a rubbery face, that's true. I'm not built for downtown abbey or the general news. I think there are the two things I could never touch. Anywho, this is the part of the show where we tell you what's going on in the world of TV, film, entertainment. Christopher Nolan, I'm going to start off with him. Because he's come out with a statement saying he's probably done with making superhero films.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I have mixed feelings about this. Yeah, well, he's made some really good ones. He has, he really has. I don't know why. I don't know why. He said that. I don't know. Maybe he's trying to have a comeback.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Possible. I mean, you know, he's doing Dunkirk. Maybe he's decided to focus on more epics, things like that. Possible? I don't know. Historical dream of. Yeah. I think, I don't know. I think possibly he's trying to say, no, no, I'm not going to do it.
Starting point is 00:03:45 And then in two years time, he's going to be like, I'm back, buchess. There are lots of superhero films out at the moment. So possibly he thinks it's a flooded market. Who knows? I think it is a little. I absolutely agree. A little bit. There's this like kind of, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:57 I'm really looking forward to Dunkirk, actually. I can't wait. Yeah, we were chatting a bit about this. I really can't wait to see it. It looks. I saw the trailer last night at the cinema. Was an invited to the premiere. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Cheers. Cheers, Warner Brothers. Thank you. I think it was Warner Bros. I think it's Warner Brothers. I did. It's syncopidity, which is Nolan's production company,
Starting point is 00:04:16 isn't it? Thinkapidity and Warner Brothers. Pinkipidity and Warner Brothers. Yeah, it looks really amazing. The only thing, and this is what we were discussing, earlier that we're a little bit like, hmm, it's Harry Stiles.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I know. One Direction being in the World War. It's hard to know what to think about that, really, isn't it? I mean, you know what? I'm not going to judge it until I see him, because you know what, Harry, you might absolutely make me eat my words. He might, excuse the pun, blow it out the water.
Starting point is 00:04:43 He absolutely might. So I'm not going to judge. I just think that I can't get away from. I know when he pops up on screen, I'm going to be like, oh, Harry Styles. There he is, cut his hair. And I think it's going to remove part of the magic
Starting point is 00:04:56 of when you're in a movie and you get completely... What's it called? Immersed? Possibly. It was called the veil of believability. I might have made that up. I mean, if you haven't, it needs to become a thing. Yeah, the veil of believability. Yeah, the veil of believability in films.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I'm going to coin that. I know that's not what I meant, but for sure. I mean, the amount of people who are in this movie got Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy. I think it's Killian. Killian Murphy. I am such a Mark Rylans fanboy. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Amazing actor. I mean, well, Christopher Nolan, he did say that he actually compared casting Harry Stiles to casting Heath Ledger in the Joker, which initially I was like, what are you saying that Harry Styles is as good as Heath Ledger? Sacrilege. Heath Ledger was one of my favourite actors ever. I was so looking forward to like the, his whole lifetime of work that he was going to do.
Starting point is 00:05:57 So much ahead of him. When he died, I was like, no! Plus also, I was going to marry him, so he completely fell out for me. Naturally, exactly. Massively pissed off at him still for not marrying me. I mean, I suppose in some respects, there was, I remember, there was a bit of an uproar when Heathie was ledger was cast
Starting point is 00:06:12 as the jail car. I didn't remember that. I was always, like, really happy because I loved Heath. Of course, yeah. But, yeah, that's what, apparently, what Christopher Nolan meant. He said that there's a bit of an uproar around Harry, but there was also an uproar around Heath Ledger and Heath Ledger smashed it out of the point. He did. So he's saying,
Starting point is 00:06:25 Don't worry, Harry's going to do the same. So I'm going to go see that. It's out in cinema's 21st of July. Oh, that's not too far. Not too far. I don't even know where we are. What day are we on today?
Starting point is 00:06:35 I'm not sure. We're the 15th? Something like that. That sounds about right. We're the 14th. I knew that. 15 tomorrow. That's what I meant.
Starting point is 00:06:41 So it's out next week. So I'm going to be like shuffling myself for long to a little cinema. I think I might as well. Yeah. So Tarantino. Quentin Tarantino is working on the Manson Murders
Starting point is 00:06:54 films, which Chris had to just film you in what that was about because I didn't know about the Manson murders. So for anyone out there who is like, The Manson What? Could you fill them in on what you told me? Well, I will give you as much knowledge as I have. The Manson murders were a...
Starting point is 00:07:10 Well, they were murders, first of all. It was the wife of famous film director whose name immediately escaped. Roman Polanski. Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate was killed by the Manson family. Charles Manson was this weird,
Starting point is 00:07:27 hippie music cult leader. Gosh. And quite gruesome murders as well. Smearing blood, die pigs all over the place and she was pregnant and it was quite gruesome. In LA, in 1969. Yeah, really, really sort of shook the entertainment industry at the time and now there's a film.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Well, that's pretty close. That's not that far away. Yeah. To be doing a movie about, like, I think when people make, movies out of like real life disasters. I think there should be some sort of like bored that needs to decide if it's too soon.
Starting point is 00:08:03 And it's Tarantino as well and we all know what he's famous for. He's going to go to town, isn't he? Yeah. But the A-listers are lining up. We've got Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence potentially auditioning. Margot Robbie Leonardo DiCaprio.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Again, they were good together. They were. See now, if you've seen Tarantino's recent films, not The Hateful April, but what was the one before the Eightful Eight? Not Django. Yes, Django on change. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Leonardo DiCaprio actually looks in that a little bit similar to Charles Manson at the time of those murders. That is my suspicion. Well, Leo likes to go for the dark roles now. He really does. He gets extra kudos of the awards when he goes dark. So I think he might be playing that card, maybe.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I don't know. What do we think? Do you think that the Manson murders may be made into a film? Is that appropriate? Is that okay? Let us know. tweet us at Fubar Radio. and we will shout you out. Or you can email into the studio,
Starting point is 00:08:57 chill at foobaradio.com. Let us know what you think about that. Should Tarantino touch the Manson murders or is it just a bit too close? And what other films do you think was not appropriate to be made? Like I think there was a, there was movies about like the Boston bombings and movies about the Twin Towers
Starting point is 00:09:14 which were made sort of just well within. For me, I was like, not gonna, I don't know how I feel about this. You know what I mean? Oh, we've got a nice little picture of Leo popped up on my computer screen here. Yeah. I don't know what Charles Manson looks like though, so we'd have to compare the two.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Charles Manson had a swastika carved into his forehead, so not entirely like Leo DiCaprio. Oh, you would just feel wrong on all, because Leo's a hot guy. Like, I fancy Leo, but if he had one of those on, that's just going to like confuse the hell out of me. Yeah, it gets dark. You know, but nobody, yes, but a no, but a no. Super dark. Right, moving on. Mama Mia, the sequel.
Starting point is 00:09:55 It is happening. We've talked about this before. But Lily James has been added. She played Cinderella and most recently was the girl in Baby Driver. Have you seen that movie? I haven't yet. Oh my God. I just, I'm a baby, I just keep rattling on about this movie.
Starting point is 00:10:08 It's my favorite movie of the year so far. Wow. I'm going to say it. And yeah, so Lily James, she's an English rose. She's from our side of the pond. So I always like it when English girls really get into the... Yeah, I know what you mean. Hollywood. So they're going to be
Starting point is 00:10:22 Mamma Mia, here we go again, which I get is like the perfect title, because if you love Mamma Mia, here we go again! I guess what songs do they have left to do, though? Well, yeah, apparently it's all going to be all the Abba songs that didn't appear in the first ones. So all the bad ones. So all the reject
Starting point is 00:10:37 Abba songs. So that's going to be Mammaia, here we go again. But all the stars are coming back. We've got Meryl Streepard, Pistis Pistrishol, Amanda Saffred, Christine Boranski, Colin Thuss. And Lily James is going to be playing the role of young Donna, so young Merrill Streep, which is, that's old. Is it a mummy film?
Starting point is 00:10:58 Mama Mia's a mummy film? Have you seen it? No. I'm not a mummy. Mama Mia, it's about, oh, lost my voice. It is about a young girl, she's like 20, 21, and she is marrying her boyfriend, and they go to this Greek island to have the wedding, and she finds a diary of her mom, and she finds a diary of her mom, and she's, she's, you know. She basically realizes that she has three potential dads. The mum was a little bit of a little loosey.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Play-a-law. Yep. And she was dating three men at the same time back in the 80s or whatever it was. And so the girl decides to invite all three men to her wedding. And she's going to find out which one is father of the bride. So it's comedy and it's all they keep bursting into songs, Abba songs. And that actually works really well. They've somehow managed to weave all the Abba songs into this story.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I haven't seen the stage show. I just saw the movie. It was quite good. It's really catchy. If you like Abba, which I do, it was good. Merrill Street's good as well. She's always good. It's a bit cheesy.
Starting point is 00:11:58 I don't know where you can find it. I don't think it's on Netflix, but... DVD, go old-fashioned. You could always buy the DVD, or the VH... Probably not the VHS. Probably not, no. Who buys anything on VHS anymore?
Starting point is 00:12:11 Do you watch anything on VHS? But these, I don't own VHS anymore. I wish I did. I had one up until, like, semi-reason. And then I was like, oh, no, I wish I'd kept it. I did all the conversions in the early 2000. I had a DVD VHS combo. And, oh, God, we're showing our age, Johanna.
Starting point is 00:12:28 This is terrible. I was able to convert them all across to DVD. Well, yeah, I used to love VHS. And I think now I've got like a proper nostalgic thing with it. And I want to, does anyone else still watch VHS? A couple of times I've gone around to people's houses, and I've seen that they've got VHSs on the side. And I'm like, whoa, this is like a walk at the park.
Starting point is 00:12:48 This is amazing. Do you guys out there? Do you listen to VHS? Tweet us at Fubour Radio. That's a bit of a juxtaposition. If you listen to old school video, tweet us on the new modern way of talking to people. Or you could send us a telegram if you want to be like extra old school. If you want to go all way back in time. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Right. I'm going to go for a little, another one of our songs now. I'm going to go for, let's go for a bit of Rolling Stones. This is from the Blow soundtrack. So if I can just like load that on to moat. No, it's not letting me load. It's not letting me load. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:18 fine let's go we could sing okay I'm gonna go for something well I think the Rolling Stones just doesn't want to be played right now
Starting point is 00:13:26 so I'm going to go for Bat Pue which is from How to Be Single with the back row and chill back row and chill back row and chill with Johanna James
Starting point is 00:13:39 on Fubar Radio ever the professional I don't know what happened I need to get my I need to flex my fingers there we go Here we go.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Oh, and get back on the board. That was from How to Be Single. Or How to Be Single. How Not to Be Single. That's the one. Mm-hmm. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Your favorite movie, isn't it, Chris? Oh, I love it. Every Friday night. Every Friday. Right, continue with a little bit more of entertainment news. District 10. Oh, I can't wait. Yeah, apparently it's all kind of things are a go-go.
Starting point is 00:14:13 It's the same guy. I didn't realize. And now I'm like, oh, of course it is. It's the same guy that wrote and directed Elise. and Chappi. Yes, yeah. District 9, which has recently come on to Netflix,
Starting point is 00:14:23 and I've watched it again recently. It's just such a good film, isn't it? It's such a great film. It's just different. Mm-hmm. And I love the fact that it's like, it's just so clever, because obviously there's serious apartheid analogies.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yeah. Set in South Africa. If anyone hasn't checked out District 9, it is a sort of a mockumentary, what's the style of it? A mockumentary, I think, is the word. It starts off as a mockumentary. But it turns into a drama almost.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Then without, realizing you stop watching a mockumentary and it just a genuine film happens. Yeah, it's like the office but sci-fi and then suddenly it just takes a shift. It's brilliant. I think it takes a shift. It takes a shift. It takes a shift. It's absolutely brilliant and it kind of ends on a cliffhanger.
Starting point is 00:15:08 So obviously the director said he'd like to go back and finish the story of the main guy because he did an absolutely amazing job. It's so good. Yeah, really, really, really, really check out District 9 if you can. 10's on the way and I'm so excited. I can't wait. It was originally made with a budget of like 30 million and then it banked like
Starting point is 00:15:25 280 million at the box office. That's crazy. So they were like, wow. Because it was like presented by Peter Jackson, wasn't it, District 9? Yeah, so he kind of got on board as a producer and apparently the reason why it all kind of came together, Peter Jackson put his own money into it.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Oh, really? Yeah, he funded it himself because he bought the Halo set and costumes on the cheap because the Halo movie fell through. No way. So if you look at the design of the ship and the design of all the alien gear, it's all Halo gear. That makes so much sense. The guns as well, with the sort of diamonds sticking out of it, a very halo.
Starting point is 00:15:59 The guns are, it's all Halo, and the Halo movie never happened, and Christopher Nolan, Peter Jackson picked it up on the cheap and decided to put his own money into it. How interesting. And make the movie, and it was brilliant. Yeah, a little bit of Star Wars. I know you're a Star Wars fan. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I am a huge Star Wars fan. Well, there's been a bit of controversy over the Monopoly game.
Starting point is 00:16:23 The Star Wars official branded Monopoly game because it does not feature a Ray player. I mean, that seems a little counterintuitive. It seems weird because considering she is the protagonist, all the main character. All the boys are there, Finn, Kornowen, they're all in there, but they didn't feature the girl. And there's a lot of complaints about it.
Starting point is 00:16:43 And when they talk to the company and was like, what's going on? Even the director made it... What the deal, guys? Yeah, like, why have you not got the girl? They were like, oh, there was a lack of interest for the girl character, which I was like... Bull.
Starting point is 00:16:55 But then why's everyone complaining then? Not true. And they were like, if you want the girl character, you just have to call customer services, and then you can get one sent or whatever. I was like, well, that's a long way around the garden, isn't it? Why would you just not include the main character? The main character of the bloody film, they didn't...
Starting point is 00:17:11 The main character of the trilogy, I'm guessing. Yeah, I... Well, we don't know, but... I don't know, but we can certainly guess that she's probably going to be the last Jedi. I mean, you know. But is Jedi plural or single? That's the question. Oh, ooh, that is the question.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I don't know. So there reason is like a hashtag called Where's Ray. Trying to get the poor girl onto some merchandise. There go. Hashtag Where's Ray, Monopoly? Hashtag Where's Ray? Cracky. If there's a Derby version of Monopoly,
Starting point is 00:17:37 Ray should be a counter in the Star Wars version. For sure. Let's do it. TV. Right, so a bit of a shake-up if you are. are a Kermit the Frog fan. The guy who has been voicing Kermit the Frog for the last like 30 years
Starting point is 00:17:53 has been sacked. I can't believe it. I'm shook. Yeah, initially the rumor that it was reported that he left but they didn't say why and then now he's come out, he's written a blog post like a tell-all blog
Starting point is 00:18:09 post. His name's Steve Whitmer and he's worked with the Muppet since 1978 and he has been Kermit's voice since 1990. Well, I didn't realize that Jim Henson used to voice Kermit. You didn't realize that? I didn't know that, no. Really? Yeah, Jim Henson was the original Kermit.
Starting point is 00:18:27 He was the original Kermit. Jim Henson died in 1990 and so Steve Wittmer took over. So ever since then, like 27 years, he's played Kermit and they have recently given in the boot. That is amazing. Because I'm a closet Muppet fanatic. I've loved them since I was a kid. And I know that he did Like Muppets Christmas Carol, if I remember correctly,
Starting point is 00:18:48 which is a fantastic film Was the first of the films after Jim Henson's death, I believe. And that was his first appearance. Steve Whitmore voiced him then. Oh, Whitmer. And so the new guy is a guy called Matt Vogel And he played the Count on Sesame Street. That one but did or two but did.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Yes, so now the count guy, but I just don't. If it's not broken, why fix it? I know. He said in his blog post that there were two reasons stated. Two reasons. But he didn't say what those reasons are. I know. We can talk about that for ages, negotiating, negotiating.
Starting point is 00:19:25 That's not the word. Debating why he left. We can debate or like theorizing. Yeah. Yeah. So Kermit the Frog is going to change. But, I don't know. Will kids notice?
Starting point is 00:19:36 I mean, probably not. Anyone with a good sort of pedigree and impressions can do a good Kermit the Frog. But still, a little bit upsetting. because he was picked by Jim Henson to voice Kermit. Yeah, so Jim Henson passed on the baton of the frog. The baton of the frog. The baton of the frog. And I'm making up, oh, kind of like, sayings this week.
Starting point is 00:19:56 He's brilliant. Yeah, so he passed it on. And I don't know. What would Jim Henson do, basically? And that's not what you're doing, company who own... Disney. It's Disney. Oh, bad.
Starting point is 00:20:09 A year. That is two really bad moves of Disney. They're not putting the main girl character in there, merchandise and they're sacking come at the They are. What is life? What's going on at Disney? What the hell is going on, Disney? Pull your shit together.
Starting point is 00:20:21 What the hell? This is not I'm just like a little bit of emotional. It's all right. It's right. Right, right. So we're coming up and we're about to speak to our first guest of the week, which is really exciting. I'm going to see if my musical deck will let me play the Rolling Stones
Starting point is 00:20:35 again now that I've had a moment. Please, this is can't you hear me knocking from the blow soundtrack. This is back row and chill. Oh, it worked! Fubar Radio Present Access all areas So, darling, it's been a mad week of showbiz
Starting point is 00:20:53 Do you like Ascot? I love it. Oh, you love it? You're surprised by that? I was. I love seeing the awful hats. Why are you looking at me when you're saying awful? One year I got compared to the bird on Sesame Street.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Big Bird was not happy. But this hat has given me, honestly, a dent in my head. Oh, it killed. And I remember saying my head was throbbing, and then I got this big lump on my head. It weighed three stone, is that? Three stone? Seriously, if you've given my car a punch of tyre, I had to put it in the boot.
Starting point is 00:21:21 It weighed it down. Every Thursday, access all areas. From 6pm, Fubar Radio. You're listening to Fubar Radio. It's currently back row and chill with Johanna James and... Chris Keegan. And we've got our first guest in the studio, so a huge welcome to Yarnie Adjissilo. Hello.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Good to be here. Welcome, welcome. Where's your accent from? Oh, it's from Melbourne, Australia. Amazing. Yeah. But the name's from Cyprus. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Oh, interesting mix. There's a lot going on, you know. There's some immigration and then clearly I'm here, so there's some more immigration. Double immigration sandwich. This is brilliant. And you are here to talk to us about your new show. Yeah, I'm doing a show at the Edinburgh Fringe. The Edinburgh Fringe.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Which is not your first show at the Edinburgh Fringe, is it? No, I think it's about my 12th show. Oh, my God. You're like a regular. Yeah, so I'm, well, I was going to say I'm the Roger Fedora, but I'm not that good. I've never done a fringe show I haven't either You know what?
Starting point is 00:22:18 I spoke to like about 20 people on the way here None of them had either I know What are the chances I know So I mean I have just big respect To anyone who does go Especially it's one man
Starting point is 00:22:27 Yeah one man It's one man one microphone A whole lot of uncertainty That just scares the shit out of me But this is exciting You know Does it terrify you still Or is it a bit more of a routine
Starting point is 00:22:38 No I mean it's like sort of going Oh you know If you drive a car You've been driving for like 15 years and people go, is it still terrify you to get the car? No, I know, I know what I'm doing now. So, yeah, I mean, it used to scare me a lot.
Starting point is 00:22:49 You know, you get the butterflies and you could, you know, sometimes you just spit something out and go, why did I say that? And it go, oh, because it was like a first date and I was nervous. But now I'm pretty, I mean, I've been doing it for 17 years. So, you know, if I was still getting scared now, maybe, I don't know, maybe I should maybe quit or something. Maybe you shouldn't do it. So your show is called Pockets of Equality.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah, pockets of equality. Why is it called that and how did it come about? Okay, so basically it comes from a story where my girlfriend and I went and went to Uniclo, and we both bought jeans, like blackstretched jeans, she got the women's jeans and I got the men's jeans, and we both bought them and then about two days later I accidentally wore her jeans by mistake. By hashtag accident. Yes, well, no, no, no, no, look, the panties, that was on purpose, but the jeans, that was, that was an accident.
Starting point is 00:23:33 And I didn't even realize, like, I didn't even realize, even though like the crotch is like about two inches low and they were really tight and I was like, no, I've just been doing legs, you know? but when I realized I was when I put my hands in her bloody pockets and there's no pockets like women's jeans and trousers have negligible pockets I mean Johanna have you got you can hardly fit your hand in there I've got a little finger depth going on there
Starting point is 00:23:54 I've got my entire world in my pockets yeah and you've got a Starfleet T-shirt on I mean like I think in the future they've eliminated like when you look at the Starfleet uniforms no one's got pockets no one has pockets at all yeah so feminism's failed in the future in the future of Star Trek yeah but yeah I actually have got really shit pockets You've just made me realize that. Well, there you go. And this is the ridiculous thing was, so my girlfriend had my jeans on, and she was having the best day of her life.
Starting point is 00:24:17 And the thing was, she bought those jeans particularly because apparently they had big pockets, but that was only big for women's pockets. So I was like wearing them and I came. I said, I think I've got your jeans on. The pockets are tiny. And she was like, yeah, I thought these were really, really big. Like, she just had a whole day where she was like, you know, like keys in there and a wallet and like 10,000 books and not even like a Kindle, just like physical books. Amazing. So it's basically, that's the story I sort of jump off from, and then it's a whole hour of just about society's rules and expectations about, you know, when you're a man or a woman and all the double standards that there are and things like that.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah. So that was where I got the idea from. And how is it received? Because obviously, well, this whole subject matter is quite, it could be quite touchy. Well, I don't know. I don't think it is touchy because if you just talk about it, I mean, they're everyday things. It's not even like, they're things like, you know, like, my girlfriend works in an office and then one day she went into work without any makeup on and people were like, oh, you're okay? look that well. And it's kind of like, no, that's just how I look. That's just my faith. Yeah, exactly. That's my trick of ever getting out of school or job. I would just go in with no makeup. And they'd be like, Jesus, you're okay? I'm like, you look like a man. I mean, it's terrible. I'm not feeling well. I'm transitioning and I just need some time and yeah, no. They, it was my little, my little trick, but it is bad that
Starting point is 00:25:31 that can happen that you should have to wear. Once I got, I got fired for a job for not wearing heels. Really? Wow. What was it? What was it? Was it? Was it? Was it? Was it? Was like, you know, picking fruit out of a tree or something like that. Did you really need to be tall? Was this in the 1960s? No, this was... It's mad men. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:45 This was only a couple years ago. I used to work on... I was working on freelance on makeup counters in different stores. I went to the house of Fraser and they expected you to do a sort of seven-hour shift on the floor in heels. How high did the heels have to be? Like big, proper stiletto ones? Yeah, like, silo heels. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And I was like, I'm behind a counter. You can't even see my feet. So I went in and I just wore flat shoes. And some of the girls were, oh, they never check. The day that I decided to... to do that was the day that the district manager came down. And she saw me and was like, wear your heels. I was like, oh, they're at home.
Starting point is 00:26:14 And she was like, go home and get them or don't come back. And I did a, I'm leaving moment. You can't fire me. I quit. And I'll be walking out using my actual heels, which are in my flat shoes. Thank you very much. I quit and I walked out. And then it felt great for like five minutes.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And I was like, shit, I don't have a job. But yeah, I couldn't believe that you had to, it was like not like an optional thing. Exactly. And you know, and if you're a guy, you can get fired for the opposite. Why are you wearing heels? Well, it's just the thing I like to do. That's happened to me more times. That's so true.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Ooh, I'm feeling like video ideas coming on there. I make comedy videos for the internet. My spare time. Well, actually now full time. But yeah, someone should get an idea and go, bing. Heels. Yeah, so basically that's the whole idea. So it's just about those little things like the day-to-day things.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Like, I mean, like, you know, like my mum's like 68 years old now, right? And I was in the car with her with my brother. And she was like, oh, I'm thinking of going to Bali with my girlfriend. friends and she was, my brother was like, oh, you're going to get a bit of bobo done? It's like, what he calls Botox, right? He's like, going to get a bit of bobo done? And my mom was like, well, we were thinking about it. And I just like, I just looked at my mum. I was like, mom, you're like, you're like, you're 60. And you don't need Botox, right? And my brother was like, get it done, I reckon. He's just a bit cheeky. And then she turned around and she thanked him. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:29 She was like, thanks, Steve. And I was like, thanks for the support. And I was like, that's insane. Just crazy stuff like that. I'm a little bit worried, like, legit, worried about sort of the future of people's faces, just because it is so on trend right now to copy all the Kylie Jenner's and having, it's like completely normal to get stuff injected. When you're like, not even near aging, like your face hasn't pretty proper start. Like my face didn't really come into my face until I was like 25. So if you're like 19 and injecting your lips already. Who does that when they're 19?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Oh, all the Kylie Jenner want to be follower people. There's a bunch of people in LA that do. It's really on trend. It really is. But now, it's like, it's so normal. And I'm not judging anyone if they do do it. I'm kind of saying neutral. But I do think, like, what if big lips and whatever just don't, are not fashionable in like 10 years?
Starting point is 00:28:18 It's highly possible, I suppose. And you know what I mean? Like, the big lips, they're all the range now and the big bums and everything. But that's how trends work, isn't it? Like, it goes all the way one way. And then someone goes, I'm going to do the opposite. And everyone's like, oh, I wish I'd thought of that. That's the sort of the big joke at the moment, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:28:31 And they're like, you know, when I was younger, when I was 15 to 20, the big joke was, does my bum look big in this? and the answer would always be no, no, and that's the correct answer. It's completely flipped 180 now. Does my mum and think is no? Shit! Exactly. Damn it. It's weird. I mean, I'm thinking that there's also going to be a huge
Starting point is 00:28:49 sort of backwards trend of pubic hair. It's going to come right back around again. And all these girls... Exactly. Everyone's going to wear the short shorts just with a little bit slipping out down the bottom and everyone will be like, oh, that's so hot. So saucy. But I think there's going to be...
Starting point is 00:29:03 I mean, maybe I'll start my own company now, but I think there's going to be like weave Oh, you're going to start the murk and express. I think so. That's what you should call it, a murk and express. Because I think so, I think all these girls are getting rid of their hair and then they're going to be panicking and they're going to want to have stuff to clip on and glue on and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Well, maybe they won't even be able to grow it back. Like I remember there was like this woman who ran the Fish and Ship Shop where I lived and she had no eyebrows because, and my mum, I said, did she draw her eyebrows on? It was like, it's because back in the day everyone just used to take them off, completely off and just draw them on. And some people took them off and then they couldn't grow them back. Oh, Jesus, my nightmare. And now everyone's getting their eyebrows tattooed on.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Yes, insane. I have a friend who's basically like I, she was like, if this job doesn't work out, I'm going to get a job tattooing people's eyebrows on. For sure, it's like the number one, everyone's doing it. Maybe in five years, like the job will actually be. I'm going to go, well, it used to be eyebrows, and now it's pubes. Yes, oh, my.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Tattoo tubes. Yeah. That is a genius idea. Oh, okay, well, there you go. You're going to have to pick really carefully your style. So I'm on the radio now. I'm announcing that if anyone may. makes money out of that. Fifteen percent is mine.
Starting point is 00:30:08 For sure. It is definitely, that was your idea. We actually witnessed the birth of that idea. Yeah, it's a good thing that it's on tape. Oh my gosh, microblading your vagina, though, really? Oh, I don't know. How sexist? You said just vagina? I think there'll be men as well, just kind of going, just thickening it up. Yeah, thick it out.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I'm not too, yeah. Yes, well, you're just going to fall behind trend, aren't you? I'm just going to stick with my current clean shaven look. I'm fine. Yeah. So someone goes, I'm actually happy to get old now. Yeah, just fuck it, whatever. So back to the show, Pockets of Equality. If people are like, I'm loving the time of sky,
Starting point is 00:30:44 how can I find your stuff or where can I see you? Okay, so basically my website is Y Comedian. Like, that's the letter Y, not like, why's this guy a comedian? Okay, white comedian.com. And that's got all my socials on it. It's got on the list of where I've got gigs and where the Edinburgh shows on and all sorts of stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:31:01 So when you're not up in Scotland that you sort of gig around the country, Yeah, around the country. In Australia, I've been in the UK for the past 15 years. So, yeah, just that's what I do. I do the funnies in the places. I've never been to Australia. Me neither. It's one of my like, oh, I'd love to go. You should come, but bring your heels because, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Oh, yeah. You're only allowed heels off the plane in Australia. Absolutely. This is cool. And so it runs for an hour. Do you find that that is exhausting? No. That the right amount of time. I mean, when I was at school, my teacher used to call me motormouth.
Starting point is 00:31:34 so I think I can talk for an hour. Thank you very much. Putting those skills to use that you learn to school. You do the show sometimes and people go, that was amazing. I can't believe you speak for an entire hour. And I was like, oh, that's what's impressive, is it? It's not like the creativity.
Starting point is 00:31:49 It's the stamina. And you won Best Comedy at Perth Fringe. I got nominated for Best Comedy at Perth French. I don't want to blow my own. It said nominated there. I just read it backwards. I'm going to blame. And as we all know, nominated backwards is won.
Starting point is 00:32:03 It's win. Exactly. I'm predicting the future here. Wow. That's what we do in the show. So you are going to win one day. Okay. They're going to retrospectively give me the award that I lost and take it off the people who won.
Starting point is 00:32:16 They're going to be very pissed off about that. God, it would be like the Oscars this year. Oh, yeah, gee. Sorry, it was actually... I mean, that's about enough except when they do it six months later on. Oh, cricky. Oh, we've had an email in talking about this subject from Georgie. Says, hi, guys.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I wanted to be an air hostess, but during training they told me that I had to wear specific makeup up and heels, so I packed it in. It's so weird that a workplace can put rules on your appearance. Yeah, I mean, gosh, air hostessing in heels as well. I think that's part like clown training, really. You're holding all these trays and walking in the middle of the air. That's like a high, high, high, tightro. Still walking. That's high, still walking. It is. Well, and it's also the fact that been, there's obviously air host and no one's telling them, well, you've got to wear makeup and you've got to wear this and you've got to wear that. I mean, it's, I don't know. I just think it's kind of crazy that, I mean the makeup thing especially is just
Starting point is 00:33:05 it's a super double standard I bet there was a board man or something some sort of boardroom guy I'd be like well where's your makeup mate I think you need it look at those paws where are your heels steward or then now what does that mean only the girls like what about the guy steward I don't know I think you know you know do you remember when it was really hot
Starting point is 00:33:23 about three weeks ago and a lot of men wanted to wear shorts to their work and they weren't allowed to wear shorts and a bunch of them went in wearing dresses yeah because the dress code was basically saying well you can wear dresses but you can't wear short so one day and also to school a bunch of kids did I saw that on the news in solidarity they all went they all did it and all these boys had such balls it was amazing yeah I reckon like all the air stewards should do the same thing like one day just basically go in in dresses and makeup right and just kind of go well you know this is just to point out an inconsistency
Starting point is 00:33:51 yeah for sure I would love that I'm flying that airline yeah that would be fun at line absolutely I was I used to really put air hostesses when I was a kid I used to really want to be one There was this sort of dream about, I guess I didn't really... It's all glamour to it, isn't it? Yeah, I didn't really think about, like, the actual having to fly to all these getting jet lag all the time. It's a 24-hour shift as a wider, really. Yeah, basically, I just thought it was like, wow, because back in the day, flying in an airplane, it was the coolest most amazing thing ever.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Like, the longer the flight, the better because the more movies you could watch, it was just the best. And then now, as I get older, every time I take off, I'm a bit like, the laws of probability. How many times can I fly around the world before something bad happens? I get more nervous as I fly as I get older, rather than more relaxed. Yeah, and if the plane crashes, they'll have to identify you using your heels. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:37 The primark, that's Diana. Primerichaeli. Do you know, I think Richard Branson served as an air hostess on one of his flights a few years back in full makeup, heels and dress. Really? It might have been he lost a bet, but I have a very strong memory of photos of him all over the Virgin website, dressed up as an air hostess with full makeup heels, the number. I heard that Richard Branson actually just likes doing that, and he said he lost a bet. it.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Yeah. Oh, unfortunately, I've lost a bet with who. No more questions. Thank you very much. And just how do you put together a show like Pockets of Equality? How do you, where do you start from? Well, obviously you started from your real life experience, but actually writing the entire hour.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Oh, I just think up stories, experiences. I talk to, I tell my friends that I'm writing a show about this and then often they'll share stories. So you just sort of collate the material and then just sort of like work out which stories I think really illustrated best, work out a structure of where I want it to start and where I want it to go. and then I just fluff it out like I just write jokes around the stories and then you do it and you hope that it works
Starting point is 00:35:37 and then you do it you see how it goes and then the bits that work you keep them in the bits that don't you chuck them out and that's basically how it evolves I mean I've done it in Australia at about five festivals so when I do my first show in Edomreedle it'll be about the 70th time I've done it wow yeah and who will you go and see when you're in a de brook or do you have any time to go and see the other you've always you've always got time but there's like no end of what's that law they say that the amount of work you have to do expanse to fit the time that you have to do it.
Starting point is 00:36:03 It's basically like that except on a 24-hour clock. I call it essay theory. If you can get given a month to write an essay, or take you a month, an hour, you can do it in an hour. Yep, very true. Yeah, and your friends are like, you want to come out and you go, I can't, I've got an essay, and then he's stay at home and watch box sets. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. No, there's heaps. There's heaps, there's really good comedians.
Starting point is 00:36:19 There's, I mean, Abandon Man, do you know, Abander Man? Rob Broderick, they're basically, yeah, they're fantastic. I'm going to go, going to go see those guys. Daniel Kitsen's doing a show there, who I saw in Melbourne. I might go and see how that's evolved. But, I mean, it's just the world's biggest hearts festival. And, like, some of the best stuff you're going to see, you don't even know it exists before you even go.
Starting point is 00:36:37 You're going to wander up. Someone in a pub is going to go, I saw this thing. It was the best. And, you know, you just go along. So if you are heading up, that's my advice. Like, just keep talking to people, tell them what you've liked. Ask them what they've liked. Word of mouth.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Yeah, exactly. And also, if you go to a free fringe show, at the end, you know, we ask for a collection. And, you know, the buckets can get very heavy. So I recommend notes instead of coins. That's a good idea. You know, it's practical. Absolutely. So when are you performing from?
Starting point is 00:37:02 It's the 5th to the 27th of August. Yeah, basically. It's the first Saturday till the last Sunday. And I'm on every day except I've taken Mondays off this year, which is totally unprecedented. That's what you do after you've been doing it 15 years. You've become an old man and go, a bad-dish-seven days a week. I think you've definitely earned your, if there was like a Scouts badge for Edinburgh Festival. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:21 The Edinburgh Fringe Scouts badge. That's right. Yeah, you've got definitely got that. And it's a green badge too, not the red one or the blue one. It's like the high-level green. Edinburgh Fringe badge. Absolutely. Have you ever considered doing not a one man?
Starting point is 00:37:33 Have you done sort of group shows? Well, I do another show which I host, right? And it's with three other comedians, and it's called Comedians Against Humanity. So basically, yeah, ooh. And that's basically an improvised comedy show where everyone in the audience gets three of the white cards against humanity cards.
Starting point is 00:37:49 And then we just, then we get the suggestions for the comedians to improvise on from the cards. So that's like a sort of group show where, you know, they do some improv and they bounce off me, bounce off the audience. Super, super fun. And so yeah, I've done that. And I've done a couple of shows, sketch comedy shows, improv shows, things like that. So, but, you know, stand-up sort of, it's not my first love, but it's my main thing. And how did you start, like, all those years ago? Well, I was at law school,
Starting point is 00:38:13 and I thought, this won't do. You were like, I object to this life. I'm going to go to the stage, darling. No, you're all, I was just, I was studying law and finance, which is all true. Wow. My mom has two degrees in a drawer at home. Two degrees. It's a day. Two degrees. some lost dreams. And yeah, so I basically started doing comedy while I was at uni and it got to a point where I was working at this law firm and I was just talking to other artistically minded people. You always find each other. You know, if you work in an office environment, you kind of like, you're a misfit. I'm a misfit too. Do you want to leave? I want to leave as well. And, you know, people would say stuff like, oh, you do stand up. And I said, yeah. And they were like,
Starting point is 00:38:49 are you good at it? And I was like, I think so. People tell me I'm good at it. And then they say, well, could you do it for a living? And I was like, I think so. And, you know, I remember about two people saying to me, if I could do anything else other than this, I would do it. And so I just decided I'd been travelling. I took a gap year after uni. I came to the UK. I was on the circuit doing some gigs and I knew there was a big comedy circuit here. So I just made a decision and I thought I'm going to move over.
Starting point is 00:39:14 And that was in 2004 with my Cyprus passport. They just joined the EU. So I've been here for the entire EU thing, for the start, the middle and the end. And if you've got, if there are any budding stand-up comedians out there who's like, oh, where do I start? what do I do? I think I want to do this, but what do I do? Well, it's like if someone says, you know, I really want to sing, you wouldn't tell them, you go, well, just go into the garden and plant some tomatoes. You'd be like, sing. That's what, if you want to do a thing, do it, right? If you want to be a comic, go to comedy nights, watch
Starting point is 00:39:42 comics and then pick an open spot night, write some jokes and just go and do them. And you will be terrible, but that's what it is when you start, you know? You can't expect to just roll in and be amazing. It's something you've never done before. For sure. Yeah, you just do it and keep going. And then eventually you get to see. in a radio studio and say, well, I've been doing it for 17 years, you see. I've got the Edinburgh Fringe scouts, Mad of Honor. And, oh no, that was it. My little question just floated away in the air.
Starting point is 00:40:12 I have one. Go on. You're clearly a fan of comedy at the fringe. Is there any other type of performance you go up there? Because I know there's a lot of belesque and things up there, which I'm a big fan of as well. Yeah, right. I don't know. I always see a bit of everything.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Like, I mean, my brother's a choreographer and a dancer. So, I mean, I don't know that much about it, but I've sort of been exposed to it, and there's heaps of dance up at the fringe. So I normally say, like, one dance show or something. And then there's always, like, a play that I want to see. Like, you know, someone's doing 1984 as a play or something like that. And then there's always some weird thing that I took my mum to this thing called Fuehza Bruta. I don't anyone know about Fuezabruta?
Starting point is 00:40:46 I've heard of it. Yeah, it's this Argentinian sort of, like, circusy, interactive experience. And you take a bus out to this weird, big shipping, like, dock and they set this whole thing up and it's all done with like you know high tempo dance music and there's there was and there's just weird sort of things like that that exist that you'll never see anywhere else so I was going to see one of those things yeah so you know I mean that's the older I get the older I get sadder the more I appreciate the fact that there really is nowhere like Edinburgh in the whole world so when you're there you've got to take advantage of it
Starting point is 00:41:19 I recently I went to Edinburgh for the first time it was pissing it down with rain we're trying to film. Pack, a Mac. Yeah, it was wet. Beautiful city, but wet. But even though it's in, you know, the United Kingdom, it felt so foreign. Because the city is so old and cobbled. And I felt like, well, all of us there on the film group, get going, oh, I feel like we're in sort of.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Well, since 2004, it's felt like Hogwarts. Yes. Yeah. That's basically it. You look and go, is that Hogwarts? And it's like, well, they did film some of the external shots there. That's why you think that's Hogwarts. No, just be like, yes, that is.
Starting point is 00:41:54 That is, that is, yes, yes it is. Exactly. For the fringe, the whole city just changes, morphs completely. Well, I always say to people that go, oh, well, you know, how do you describe Edinburgh? And I say, well, you know, in, say, Melbourne Comedy Festival, they put a comedy festival in the city. At the Edinburgh Fringe, the city becomes a festival. And that's the difference is that literally is a show here. And then two doors down, there's a show, and then there's another show.
Starting point is 00:42:17 And it's just insane. Like, there's nothing like it. It's so overwhelming. And it just really takes it over. One day I must get my shit together. Me too. We should make a pact. We push the other way now.
Starting point is 00:42:28 What about this year? Well, I've got something on in October, so, you know. I've got something on for that entire month. Yeah, every day. So we are talking about Pockets of Equality. Brand new show. It's going to be on at the Edinburgh Fringe this year. Fifth of the 27th of August, where is the location of it?
Starting point is 00:42:45 Oh, it's at the Banshee Labyrinth, which is this insane rock bar. I've never done a show there before, but I've seen heaps of shows. It's one of these things, you know, one of these typical Edinburgh buildings where you could take your phone in there and die and no one would know because there's just like five meters of rock between you and outside. And it's just, yeah, this real got got got got got got got of rooms, sort of 40, 50-scented of rooms and like, yeah, it's a real classic Edinburgh-y sort of sort of vibe. So if people want tickets, where shall we have to? Well, it's part of the free fringe, which is basically where I don't pay for the venue, audience don't pay to come in, and then we do a
Starting point is 00:43:23 collection. So it's basically like busking. So you go in, you see the show, and you pay what you think it was worth. Brilliant. Yeah. And so it's a really nice way of making the fringe affordable. And you get all sorts of people putting what they can afford. One dude put 50 pounds in my bucket one time. And it was a Scottish... It was a Scottish
Starting point is 00:43:40 50 pound note, which I'm reliably assured by the Bank of England doesn't exist. No, it does exist. But I'm just saying, like, you have to spend that, because you can't even spend an English 50 with that people looking at you weird down here. I didn't even see what it until I was like 22.
Starting point is 00:43:54 It was like a myth. Yes, exactly. Like what are this massive piece of red paper with the queen on? What? You can have the Jabberwocky or the 50 pound note. Well, I'll take the Jabberwiki because it exists. Yeah. Duh.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Fake monopoly money. Well, a huge, huge thank you for coming on my show. Thanks for having me. All the best of luck. I mean, I didn't even need to give you luck. You're pro at this. Listen, if you've done it at the Edinburgh fringe,
Starting point is 00:44:14 you know, you take all the luck you can. Amazing. So I'm going to go into a little bit of music now. We're going to go, Welcome to the Jungle, Guns and Roses, which recently was on what a tune was on what movie trailer. Do anyone want to know? No? No. It's the new Jamangie. Welcome to the Jungle.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Of course. There's a new Jimargy? Yes. It's coming out. Duane Rock Johnson. Oh, it's going to be amazing. Dwayne Roe-Johnson. Jack Black, Kevin Hart. It looks quite good. Someone's going to do it in Edinburgh. Yeah, for sure. So this is Welcome to the Jungle. I'm back row and chill. Joe Page Show.
Starting point is 00:44:53 It's all about new music. It's all about alternative music. It's all about in-depth band interviews all about hilarious little games of a musical twist. It's all about teaching my dumb old musical mate, Sy Thomas, the other side of the desk, all about music, he knows nothing. With Oasis, what are your thoughts on them? Because I've got a thought on them.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Go on, you give me... I reckon, right, everyone watches them, they share clips with them, and they're going, oh, I can't believe it. They don't believe, they speak the truth, or they just, they're really... They just don't care what they say. There's no filter, blah, blah, blah. They're just not like, dickheads. Every Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Joey Page. From 2pm. Fubar Radio. You're listening to Food Bar Radio. It's Back Row and Chill with Johanna James and... Chris Keegan. And we're halfway through the show. Congratulations, Chris.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Oh, thank you very much. And we have our second guests into the studio. So a huge welcome to Rose Robinson and Joseph Hancock. Hello. Hello. Stage brilliant names. They sound like super famous already. Very theatrical.
Starting point is 00:45:47 You call me Joseph. Only my mum calls me Jason. I'm going to start calling you Joseph. You should. Behave. I know when a full name comes out, gives a bit of a, well, business.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Does something wrong. Mom? Yeah. It's like that kid in the supermarket getting told off and you think it's you. Now Joseph. What?
Starting point is 00:46:05 Why? Jesus. Remember when you used to get lost in the supermarket? All the time. And you have to go on the tannoy. I have a very vivid memory of holding onto my mum's trolley
Starting point is 00:46:14 and turning round and it's not being my mother and I just chipped my parents. I cannot think of anything more scary in that moment. I had a friend who when he got lost as a little boy got lost and so they went
Starting point is 00:46:28 to the tannoy person and said what's your name and then the tannoy came over and his name was James and they were like can Henry's parents please come and when they came the parents came and went why did you say your name was Henry he was like the name? I was like he didn't really quite get the concept did he about the lost children
Starting point is 00:46:45 anywho you guys are here to tell us all about great British mysteries which is the brand new show which you're going to take up to the fringe yeah with her all month Yeah, amazing. This looks super right on my street, exciting. What is Great British Mysteries about as a show?
Starting point is 00:47:05 Well, it's a sort of mockumentary, presented by two pretty strange presenters called Olive Bacon and Dr. Teddy Tyrell. And they've spent years looking into all of the British mysteries that, you know, like the, what is Stonehenge, the Prince in the Tower. the Tim Hemen special. You know, we really look into everything.
Starting point is 00:47:32 And to this show is a sort of best bits. So we kind of have a countdown of the best bits from these different episodes. And then we show the full winning episode in all its glory, which is, of course, Loch Ness. Ah. I was always fascinated by Loch Ness as a kid. And I saw the movie, which convinced me, of course I rule. So have you seen Lottness the movie?
Starting point is 00:47:53 I haven't, no. Oh, it's like a little early 90s gem. Watch it the other day actually Yeah Oh my God It's this little girl that lives in Scotland And she is friends with the longest Monster
Starting point is 00:48:07 With Nessie Yeah because I think it's a Is it like a journalist Comes down He goes over to try and prove That Lottness is not real Makes friends with the little girl And pretty keen on her hot mum as well
Starting point is 00:48:19 Oh yeah Oh really? He fancies her mum who's the innkeeper Oh there's so many levels to this film It was a good little movie I think I watched it when I was around the same age as the girl and the thing that I always remember was the guy said, oh, I know what
Starting point is 00:48:30 the Loch Ness Monster sounds like, rah! And she's like, no, it sounds like, whee. And they whistle, so the Loch Ness Monsters whistle. So I used to go around all these lakes whistling as a child looking very weird, but like in hope that some sort of monster would come out of. Our Loch Ness Monster meows like a cat. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:48:48 And we spent about an hour on Spotify trying to find cat sandbacks, and eventually Rose just went, I'll just do it. It's me. So if you see the show. show the cat sound effect is actually Rose Robinson. Fantastic. How did the show come about?
Starting point is 00:49:03 Yeah. It came about. It's sort of a few different things in a way. So Will and I have always been talking about doing a show together that would involve lots of different tales and
Starting point is 00:49:18 that would be presented by two odd balls but it was a very, very loose idea. And then it was sort of all over one coffee back in October, we were saying, what can these stories be? We're completely stumped.
Starting point is 00:49:34 And then somebody suggested British mysteries, great British mysteries. And then it kind of splurged out from there. It was like, it was that, yeah, it was the kind of firework. And then suddenly it was like, oh yeah, we could do, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it kind of, yeah, it snowballed a bit from there.
Starting point is 00:49:55 the character that I play, Olive, she is, I did a little bit of, tried out some solo character, sort of stand-up, like, yeah, character, character performance, and did a competition called Funny Women back in September last year, which was great fun. And so we sort of realised that she's probably, she's exactly the kind of girl who would want to present Great British Mysteries. she's sort of really into the Tudors loves a terrible ghost story and it's yeah just a very strange young girl and this is almost like a few years later if everything went to plan for Olive
Starting point is 00:50:37 she'd be presenting Great British Mysteries so it's a dream come true for her and would you ever consider sort of transferring the show onto like a series like a film TV series? Yeah well the whole thing is kind of done as though it's been running for seven series So when you come into it, it's almost we play it that the audience is watching something that they know really well.
Starting point is 00:50:59 So there's loads of references to things that you don't get that hopefully work are sort of subtle enough that you know that you're not meant to get them, but they're very niche. And the confidence from Olive and Teddy is the confidence of people who've been doing very well for themselves the last seven years. So it's kind of done as a sort of,
Starting point is 00:51:22 fake TV program and it's almost like you're in the room. And yeah, we just wanted to do something that went across lots of different locations. It feels very filmy. The whole thing's kind of underscored all the way through with like loads of old kind of film scores and Hitchcock and yeah, it's pretty weird. But it feels very filmic. We've tried to make something that feels like like strange but true or like Most Haunted Live or, you know, those kind of old 1950.
Starting point is 00:51:52 horror films that just have this really grainy feel to it. So everything's very low-lit and very murky and very mysterious. And is it the first time you guys have gone to Edinburgh? It is as this, yeah, our company's the Cloak and Dagger Club, and we've, yeah, this is our first show. We've been up in different ways, like Will and I went up a couple of years with a sketch show called Mixed Doubles, and Joe came up with us last year,
Starting point is 00:52:18 and you've done several shows at that. Yeah, Will and I were at uni together. So our first Edinburgh was actually nine years ago this year doing a kind of drama, a terrible drama society show. And somehow we're still cracking on. So we've all kind of done different things in different ways. But it feels in a weird way like this is all of those separate ideas coming together. I mean, the whole thing is just a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:43 We've just every idea we've ever had for the last 30 years. You kind of cram it into one show. And did you ever find anything really cool out about actual British mysteries that you are like, oh, I didn't know that? Because I've heard about Jack the Ripper, I've heard about Great, no, Lottness. The Great Lottness. The Great Lottness. I'm inventing his name now, the Great Nessie. Was there anything, a bit of history that you actually learnt yourself?
Starting point is 00:53:08 There's a guy called Scott who was a kind of beginning of the century version of Attenborough. So he would go around and he would be the kind of nature guy, pretty well-established. established. David Attenborough. Yeah, essentially, except he totally believes in the Loch Ness Monster. It's a bit like David Attenborough saying, being Attenborough, but then saying, I categorically believe in Bigfoot. And that just being a thing that we have to accept. So stuff like that is really weird where you find out specific moments in history where
Starting point is 00:53:41 what's really nice about these characters is that they just really want to believe. And it's kind of a show about whether you choose to believe or not in a silly sort of way. so stuff like that's really nice are you worried that people are going to maybe not get the subtlety that it's all characters and believe would be like well did you know lots of it's very subtle but there's
Starting point is 00:54:01 lots of big dick jokes as well so it spans big digs that is the biggest great British mystery of all isn't it? Indeed. Do they exist anyway where can people see this if they want to We're going to be on from the second to the 28th of August up at the Pleasance courtyard in the cellar. That sounds very like theatrical and Shakespearean, the Pleasant's courtyard.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Yeah, exactly. Lovely. And people can, is it ticketed event so people can find tickets? Yeah, they're all online, yeah, on the Pleasance website or on the Ed Fringe website. Yeah, like by them in person. So just to recap, we're talking about the great British mysteries going up to Edinburgh Fringe this year at the Pleasant. Courtyard. Yeah, I was like,
Starting point is 00:54:51 I forgot it already. Oh no, don't ask me. Ask the website. That's what it's there for. And have you got plans to take it if people can't go all the way up to Edinburgh? We're doing our last preview in London on the 26th, which is at Leicester Square Theatre.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Oh, perfect. Yeah, so I mean that's two days before we kind of get the train up. So hopefully it's pretty close by then. Preview. Is that like a super, super dress rehearsal? Yeah, kind of. it's a dress rehearsal where
Starting point is 00:55:21 some of it's always a bit new and maybe maybe you'll never see it ever again so I always try and think that if you're in an if you're in an audience I mean everyone who's going up to Edinburgh previews across the summer and sometimes they are literally people still on the stage with the script reading bits out
Starting point is 00:55:38 but the joy is if you pay a fiver you may see something that will never be performed ever again probably for good reason But equally, it might be a really kind of unique little happening that you're in a room with 30 people and Daniel Kitson. And then that will just disappear into nothingness. I actually think that there's going to be a movement because there was a huge technology movement about like recording the moment on your phone, having everything recorded what you eat, what you do, what you whatever. I think there's going to be like a backlash of that over the next few years. And there's going to be like events where people go just to be like in the moment events where no technology is allowed, no self.
Starting point is 00:56:18 these, no whatever. That's what I think the one thing that live theatre still has because you can't really be texting and tweeting a way and being really engrossed in a live performance. Yeah, absolutely. I think you're bang on. A bit like fashion, it's all going to go full circle. For sure it is. And I think there even is
Starting point is 00:56:34 I've heard about some gig venues who are actually trying to desperately stop that being the phone going out. I'm just gesturing my phone everybody. Kay Bush had like a no phone. I think you had to like give your phones in at the beginning. Oh my gosh. That one mental, can you imagine being in charge of the phones?
Starting point is 00:56:50 But I had an iPhone 7. Yeah, it's an iPhone. Kate Bush has got it now. Yeah, she said, that's a money-making scheme. He's selling off the back of the thing. But yeah, I think that's one of the things that I love, and I think that is why theatre is just forever, ever going to be a thing,
Starting point is 00:57:06 because capturing it, it's in the moment. And like you said, each performance is different. So you can go and see it on a Monday and see the same show on a Friday. You're going to have little... With that in mind, has anything ever gone wrong? Because I love asking live, everything live, that's the juicy pet. There's lots of projections in it.
Starting point is 00:57:25 And the timing of them is often not quite right. And there's a bit where Queen Elizabeth I first, there's a sort of a minute scene where over the scene, eventually the joke, the whole punchline, is that she turns into Noel Edmund. And the projection slowly, there's this huge noise that goes like, bum, bum, bam, bam, bam, bam. and the light goes into very dark red
Starting point is 00:57:49 and Olive and Teddy do a really prolonged turn round and look at it and then turn back at the audience like what just happened. And the idea is that is Noel Edmund somehow like a blackoutic character who's been propping up all these characters in history. And twice and two of the last gigs, the Noel Edmund's face has been revealed instantly.
Starting point is 00:58:12 And the audience doesn't really understand what they're seeing. It was like, this is Noel. But they just get an instant picture of No Ledman's with this kind of Jacoby and Ruff on. And without explanation, Anne Reyes and Will have to try and address that whilst delivering a minute's worth of dialogue that leads to a point that the audience has already seen.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Oh, gosh. It's not ideal. Try and backtrack that around. Yeah. How are you remembering lines? Because that's one thing that always played me. Yes. Live line remembering.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I find I'm a bit very I'm a bit dangerously variable on it once I know it super super well absolutely fine but then actually I get to a point where I know it's so well that I start thinking maybe I will have some sausages tonight yeah I think I will oh my good I just said sausages online it's the moment you start thinking about what you've got to say
Starting point is 00:59:10 and you lose it yeah when it comes so naturally were there any Were there any mysteries that you discovered that you wanted to get in the show that didn't make it in? We did want to get the Beast of Bobman in. The main reason for that was because it was all in order to get Will, who has short blonde hair,
Starting point is 00:59:28 into a long, blonde mullet wig. And we also, we, Will wrote a line which was Dartmoor, more, more, more. How do you like it? How do you like it? We really wanted to get that in. And unfortunately, that's not made it. Not made the cut.
Starting point is 00:59:44 going to try and find a way. I think you should. I like that line. Well, all the best of luck with the Great British Mysteries. If you just joined us, that's what we're chatting about. The Great British Mysteries is a new show. Half Ted Talk, half a mockumentary. Instantly, I'm like, I'm like, oh, what is, I want to see that. I love a TED Talk.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Love a TED Talk, and I love a mockumentary. So this sounds amazing. There you go. I also love the Loch Ness Monster. So if you're into all of that and you happen to be hanging around Edinburgh with a spare £10, go see this show. So thank you so much, guys, for coming down.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Thank you for having us. I play lots of songs that are linked to movies or series that I'm like enjoying at the moment. So I'm going to go for, oh, this was from Baby Driver. I keep going on and on, you cannot shut me up about this film. It's so good. The soundtrack is amazing. And they had the original version of the song Tequila. And this is the remix called Tequila.
Starting point is 01:00:38 So let's see. Oh my God. I think you're a bit nervous about what it's going to be. We're going to play it, we're going to do it. Here it is. It's back road, chill. Our Radio presents. I just want to check the lyrics for CPR.
Starting point is 01:00:58 What's CPR stand for? Come, penis. Well, Rears was not. Uh-huh. Yo, Dick, brick, hard, like a medal. Uh-huh. It's got three holes for it like a pretzel. I got three holes.
Starting point is 01:01:07 I got three holes for it like a pretzel. Yeah. Tight as a virgin boy. Don't get me nervous. Tight. I'm here to serve you customer service, right? Right. I save Dick by giving it CPR.
Starting point is 01:01:17 don't do that. Like, please don't blow into it. Put my mouth on it, like CPR. But CPR is blowing. Every Monday. From 2pm. Food Bar Radio. You listen to Food Bar Radio.
Starting point is 01:01:29 It's Backroat and Chill with Johanna James and... Chris Kagan. And we've got our third and final guest of the show. Who is it? Who is it? Who is it, babe? It's me! It's who is Joob.
Starting point is 01:01:41 For anyone who doesn't know. You are... Introduce yourself. You're supposed to intro me. I'm your guest, Johanna. What is this? Come on. Jube,
Starting point is 01:01:49 well, if I do, it's a bit weird. Okay. It's, you are a international online superstar. Oh, come on, you can do better than that. Let me have to go. Introducing the sexiest, chubbiest man on planet Earth. I just spat all over the microphone. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 01:02:05 All right, I cut the music. Hi, guys. My name's Jub Tube Tube. I make silly videos on the internet, and I'm going out with the gorgeous Johanna James. And guys, finally got my boyfriend on the show. Who? Welcome, welcome.
Starting point is 01:02:18 What's going on? Bringing home to work and work to home. I feel like a third wheel here. Is he needed? I'll just leave. I'd just leave you guys. This really awkward moment just happened in the green room where Jude handed his cup of coffee to Chris,
Starting point is 01:02:32 not realizing he's the co-host and not one of the minions here. Thanks for me look bad. Thanks, Jude. Thank you, thanks for that. I'm so sorry. I'm going to kiss you after the show, I promise. I will accept that kiss. Welcome to Football Radio.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Thank you for me. What do you do online? All right, so basically what I do is I make relatable funny videos and take over the internet. We had around 1 billion views in the last year. My Facebook page is currently on 1.5 million. We've had sketches that have gone over 100 million views. He's so modest.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Well, you asked me for the facts, and I'm merely presenting numbers. The numbers do not lie. No, we're doing really well at the moment. We went from absolutely nobodies to quite literally taking over the internet for half a year, which I'm really really proud about. And why can people see your stuff? Where's where? Literally just tap on Facebook
Starting point is 01:03:23 and one of my videos should pop up, and I'm joking. It's at Jub Tube Tube Tube. So if you just type in G-O-U-B, the first thing that should pop up is me. So Juptube. Ju-tube. Yeah, check out.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Let's some cool vids. Why did the name come from and why the name? Because that's... I was looking for a name for ages. My original name was Ju-brand B-F-G because at school people called me B-F-G and I wasn't quite aware of what the acronym stood for.
Starting point is 01:03:47 It turns out... Wait, wait, guess what did it stand for? The only thing I can think of is big friendly giant. Yeah, it turns out is big fat Jew brand. Oh, man, okay. Yeah, yeah, so people in the playground be like, BFG, BFG. And I was dancing along thinking him meant big friendly giant. Yeah, turns out I was being bullied.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Shade. But then my friend was like, Jew brand BFG, reading that as a username is Jubbhug. So what is this actual word? And then he was like, why don't you, I don't know, what you're doing YouTube? He was like, nah, Facebook. It's like, why don't you say Jubeube? I was like, like, literally, birds flew. It got hot in the room.
Starting point is 01:04:22 It was just glowing. A beam of light from the sky. Yeah, quite a lot. I was like, jube, oh my God, that's my legacy. But people never say it like that, did they? No, they call me goob. Goob tube? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:34 There's no je in the English language. It's G or J. So there's no je. So they're just like, goob. Oh, you goob. I mean, proffa gets me. It's like, oh, he goob. I love your videos.
Starting point is 01:04:43 I'm like, yeah, it's tube. It's jube. We have the same thing. No one can say my name either. Jehanna. It's not very hard though, is it? Honestly, you wouldn't be surprised. It's Hannah with a Jha at the front. Jahanna. I think when we first met I call you Joe Hanna for quite a while.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Yeah, but that is, because that's my original name. Really? Yeah, that would be why. I introduce myself as Joe Hanna. This is a revelation to me. Yeah. So my name was Johanna, but then because of a mix-up with equities, like the Aquiters Union, they wouldn't let me have my own name, so I thought it'd be really funny. Those sort of fucking monster. I know. Can I swear?
Starting point is 01:05:14 You can swear? Those fucking monsters I know, right? And so I said, right, if I spell it with an A, can I keep my name? And they were like, go on and then, fine. But now everyone thinks I'm Swedish or they're like, Jahana?
Starting point is 01:05:26 Jahana. Yohana? Thanks for stealing my thunder on my name story. Let's talk about Jahana on the Jahana show. Well, it is the Jahan. Yeah, I forgot about that. Sorry. Cheers, babe.
Starting point is 01:05:39 So what are you working on at the moment? Trying to drink this coffee, but I didn't realize they put the sun. in my mug. All right, so currently, I'm not going as viral as I used to because what it was at first was I was just trying to get famous. And we kind of got the Facebook fame now. And now it's all about making money because I was window cleaning whilst I was making
Starting point is 01:05:59 my videos. So I had people Snapchating me through their window. Like, oh, hey, Goop Tube Tube Tube! You're cleaning my windows! And at the same time, I'm like, well, this doesn't really, the image doesn't fit. And that's not me trying to be like egotistical or think I'm above a particular. job but there's a narrative that I'm trying to portray and that's that I make funny
Starting point is 01:06:18 videos online and I'm at the same time doing people's gutters and stuff. It just didn't work on. I think it's great you're a gutter cleaner. Yeah well I wasn't making enough money but now... It was like a weird version of sort of Superman. Your Clark Kent and your jub, you got a sparkly... Juip tube in the evening. Pressure washed by day. Exactly. And you can just sort of rip open your shirt and slap your belly.
Starting point is 01:06:36 There you go. It was fun at first but it's like I need to start making some real money and now we started pulling in some serious cash So it's just like we don't need to, I don't focus on going viral anymore. So now I'm trying to like find a balance and make money as well as create my legacy and make good content as opposed to just adverts. So what's it about, is it about building a brand? I guess that sort of has to be the prime thing. You build a brand to work around.
Starting point is 01:07:00 You've got, you know, YouTube people like David Dobrick and Philip DeFranco who have t-shirt businesses on the side. Is that what it's about from here on? Well, it depends what kind of community you have as a fan base. I mean, for some people, that may be it. but for me it's more like I get more love out of people saying hello to me in my hometown. I'm a hero in my hometown.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Can you believe it? Of silly videos. It's more the legacy as opposed to, yeah, the money is nice, but being loved for what you do as opposed to just making money and being hated, as some social media people are.
Starting point is 01:07:29 I feel like if you're loved for something you do that you love, that's you being rich already without even needing money. Yeah. That's the whole point of like a Tony or an Oscar, or whatever, it's just depreciation. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Look, if I can pay my bills and make people laugh, fuck the money. It's cool. I'm good to go. But, yeah, legacy is key. I don't want to be hated. I want to be loved. That's it. Yeah, it's quite hard on the internet because there's sort of like two lanes you can go down.
Starting point is 01:07:53 And one is sort of pranks and public menace, which are very, very, very watchable. Even I sort of, I do click on them sometimes. And then you've got the sort of slightly harder way, which is sketches. Yeah. Because there are a lot. You've got to think. characters, you've got narrative, you've got actual punchline and jokes
Starting point is 01:08:15 it's quite hard to keep everyone's attention in a world where like cats falling over and people getting pied in public is like the way. Nothing frustrates me more than sitting down for a good 24 hours, writing out ideas, subplots, clever
Starting point is 01:08:31 twists on reality, how what kind of engagement are we going to get, what conversation is going to happen in the comments and really be in depth and then someone falls down the stairs and it's fake. and they get 40 million fucking views. I'm just like, you dumb, idiots. Do you, I mean, do you guys follow much of the stuff coming out of L.A.?
Starting point is 01:08:48 Have you sort of looked at David Dobrick, for example? Reinvented vlogging a little bit. Yeah, we tried to dabble, but we found our lane, and it's nice to try and cross-convert following and all of that stuff, but it's just not our lane. It's like saying to a tennis player, oh, what, have you tried a little bit of squash? It's kind of the same, but it's really not, and I don't feel comfortable. That's fascinating.
Starting point is 01:09:09 I can make a video and get more views. and a movie would in a weekend. That's crazy. I can meet up with my friends, film with it, get it edited, and we get more exposure than the film does, and we do it with 200 quid, as opposed to a million pound budget. It's astounding how that can happen. It really is.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Ridic. The power of social media is insane. David, what was he called you just said? David Dobrick. I've heard of him. Is he like Gary Vee? He's going out with Liza, Leaser, Liza. Liza.
Starting point is 01:09:33 He started off as sort of a daily vlogger, but he realized that actually vlogging his day of life was kind of boring. So he started, he's started deliberately and actively scripting his vlogs. Fake vlogs. We were going to do that, but it's fucking hard work. Yeah, and he does it every day, does it five days a week.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Is it obvious I'm sweating right now? Oh, yeah, I've seen David, yeah. And he's one of the most, he's one of the most well-sor-recognized YouTubers at the moment. You know I, darling, we're going to take the... You can see the sweat patches through my jumper. What is this? It's a lot of pressure.
Starting point is 01:10:04 It's the curse of being chubby, it's not the pressure. Oh, I'm taking my hoodie off, that's it. Do it. Strip, strip, strip. Okay, just me. Okay. No, I'm on board. I'm on board, don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Yeah, I've thought about that. I mean, that's what I like about the internet. It's like, it is opened the floodgates. Anyone has a chance. Absolutely. Not saying everyone can do it because not everyone's, like, watchable, but anyone has a chance if you put them effort in
Starting point is 01:10:27 and plop or grind in it. No, don't sell them a false dream. No, it's true. You've got to give them context, though. It's not that easy. What you need is, okay, what you're saying is anyone can go viral, which is true,
Starting point is 01:10:38 but what you need to know is, not only do you need content that moves, you need a distribution platform. So, i.e., you've got your app, so Facebook, Snapchat, musically, wherever it is you want to go big. But on top of that, you need distribution. So you need a share circle on Facebook
Starting point is 01:10:52 when we drop a video. It's not like we drop a vid and 88 million views. That never happens. That is incredibly rare. What you need is big pages to share your stuff for you. But as well as that, even if you've got a share circle,
Starting point is 01:11:03 if the content don't move, you're flogging a dead horse. There's a lot of technical business that people don't realize about the internet. Sorry, I was going to interrupt. I'm just really excited to be on radio. Listen, guys, if you want to go viral, I'm about to break it down for you right now.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Get a pen and paper because this is fucking real. Hang on, hang on. You're about to change your life. Okay. Okay. This is what you need for a video to go viral. Relatability. Check.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Likeability. Check. Check. What conversation is going to happen in the comments section? So, for example, boyfriend, girlfriend, prank, when people make those pranks, are expecting people to go,
Starting point is 01:11:34 ha, ha, this is amazing. What actually happens is people go, this is fake, this is fake. and then obviously people jump in like, no, it's real. And then that's a part of the conversation. That's an extra 10% engagement. And on top of that, people go, I wouldn't treat my girlfriend like that.
Starting point is 01:11:45 I wouldn't treat my boyfriend like that. So it wasn't the intended conversation that you expected, but that's what's carrying the video over and tipping it over the 20 mil mark. So that's just the conversation in the comments. Now you also got to think about your trailer, i.e. your thumbnail and your caption. How are you going to capture the attention of the audience?
Starting point is 01:12:02 You've got three seconds as soon as that video drops to maintain that attention. See what I'm saying? So there is a way. to do it but there's a formula then you need to get it right someone's had coffee I don't know it's fascinating I haven't got much time I want to get all of the information out now
Starting point is 01:12:16 because anyone can do it guys I'm not joking listen if you take some of those tips and you just work on it for a few weeks two likes five likes 10 likes a week before you know it that starts to snowball and out of nowhere you go from 800 likes to 1.5 million likes everywhere you go people like yo Jude what's
Starting point is 01:12:31 going on trying to slap my belly well not if they're called Jude but yeah but you know what I'm saying it is possible you can chase your dreams I was cleaning windows. Not that it's not a worthy profession to go down, but it was just something I wasn't good at. It was something that I would wake up and hate doing. Chase your dreams and I promise you if you keep trying every single day, there will be a breakthrough eventually, or it may lead you down a different path. Inspiration from YouTube right there. I feel like smashing some shit.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Can I drop the mic? No, it's very expensive. Do not hit the mic. Sorry. I cannot take him anyway. Right, we're going to go back to a little bit more music, and then we're going to go into some film reviews because I think all of us have seen a lot of stuff this week that we want to have a little chat about. Okay, so I think I'm going to go on oh, a bit of Tom Jones. Let's do a bit of Tom Jones.
Starting point is 01:13:20 I'm a Tom Jones fan. Absolutely. Fantastic. That's brilliant. This is also from Baby. No, it's not from Baby Driver. It's from Glow on Netflix. Loving this.
Starting point is 01:13:32 This is about Ryan Chill. Johanna James on Fulbar Radio. We're back. It's the last part of the show. What was that noise? That was just the fubas. Sexual noise. Stop doing that.
Starting point is 01:13:50 Your boyfriend's here. Behave. Right, it's Johanna James co-hosting with Chris Keegan. Today, it's the last half of the show. Normally Lucy Patterson comes in and does some film reviews, but she's broken a toe or something. She's broken something. Get better soon, Lucy.
Starting point is 01:14:07 So, as her replacement, I've invited down, Kevin Kruehler, welcome. Hello there, guys. doing? He is a huge film buff and we often talk about film and I was like you know what I need to get you on my show because we can definitely talk and Jub Tube Tube is still here so Where's a fucking chicken?
Starting point is 01:14:24 That's his tagline. Oh I've dreamt about hearing that in real life. I'm going to get that on my gravestone. I'll put it on there babe, no worry. Thank you. What are you insinuating? I'm going to die first. Yeah, you smoke more than me and eat more and eat more. How about you reveal to your listeners
Starting point is 01:14:40 how much more of an unhealthy life? style I have. Thanks, Joanna. No, no, no, wait, wait. She's just got vegetarian. I've just gone vegetarian. Have you explained to them why you're vegetarian now?
Starting point is 01:14:52 Yeah, I think I did it in last week's show. I watched a film on Netflix called Okja, OKJA, and it's about this fictional super pig and it growing up with this daughter of a farmer and when it comes to be slaughtered, she can't let it go and she chases
Starting point is 01:15:08 it to New York and she saves the pig. And it actually parallels what actually goes on in slaughterhouses and abattoirs and as soon as I watched the film, we cried, we cried. We. Shut up, Janice. I tell you about telling people about that stuff. A tear was shed and I decided after it, I just didn't feel right eating meat.
Starting point is 01:15:24 I was like, you know what? I just don't want to eat stuff with a face. Which is brilliant for me because then she walks in with hummus and carrots. I'm 100 KG. Hummus and carrots doesn't feed me, Johanna! And a bit of falafel. All right. So, Kevin, welcome. This is the part of the show
Starting point is 01:15:40 where we do film reviews. We talk about what we've seen, what we think shit, what we think's not, everyone can go around and we can just discuss what we've seen. And I've got a little quiz for you guys as well. Sounds good to me. It's wild in here, isn't it? We're getting crazy. So, Kevin, do you want to start?
Starting point is 01:15:59 What have you seen this week? Well, why not? I'm alone in the movie ranger, what's actually mean. I'm going alone to the movies because I really hate when people just talking to my ears. like, oh, you know what's going to happen right now? And I'm like, yeah, I'm trying to figure out. I watch a movie. Do you like going alone?
Starting point is 01:16:18 That's fine. I got this in my own. It was a fun time. Last time I went to the new Spider-Man Homecoming movie. And it was amazing. And I'm sitting on a wee epic chance right in the middle when one guy by himself walking, see right next to me. And I'm like, my man.
Starting point is 01:16:32 I know what you feel. So what did you think about Spider-Man Homecoming? Well, if we're going to the comic version, are we going to like a Marvel Cinematic Universe version what they just built up for the cinematic universe that's good for the comic version let's not really go into that
Starting point is 01:16:49 I know in the Rotten Tomatoes they want to 94% 94% I know it's crazy It went far but I liked it, don't get me wrong I enjoy every single moment with the movie but it wasn't what I expected
Starting point is 01:17:03 Peter Parker that's not as the Peter Parker as in the comic The Spider-Man Yes, the Spider-Man has this funny arrogance What he has in the comic as well The Peter Parker is very childish in the movies Well, I know I can relate, you know, the new wife was coming up as well
Starting point is 01:17:21 But they changed a lot, they changed the characters They changed the character appearance as well Yeah, you know They did, they, because I, my favourite Spider-Man was the one that When I was a teenager, which was a Toby McGuire Yes, yeah And Curse and Dunst because I was a big fan of them And so when I think of Spider-Man, I kind of think of that
Starting point is 01:17:39 but you have to just put that away when you're watching Homecoming because it is a different universe, it's a different version and they played around with the ethnicities of a lot of the characters which some people are like, don't think you should touch that. Mary Jane should be a ginger and whatever.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Well, the talk recently is that she's not even Mary Jane. It was just a tip of the hat to Mary Jane from the comics family. So I would suppose it was Mary Jane. That's what I thought as well, but yeah, apparently an interview afterwards it was just a nod, just a tip of the hat. Oh, it was just a nod. She wasn't trying to be Mary Jane. But are they just saying that, you know, it's the Marvel
Starting point is 01:18:11 cinematic universe. They could say anything, yeah. Yeah. Jube's like, I haven't seen this film, so I don't have a lot to say. I'm not going to like, I was actually thinking about chicken. Well distracted, my bad. Do you think about chicken more that now I'm a veggie? It's like a pressure. Do you feel like you have to compensate for my lack of eating me? No, because I really don't care whether you eat it or not.
Starting point is 01:18:32 I will eat chicken. Okay. Well, Spider-Man, I really liked it, and it was the first time that they had an actual teenager playing a teenager. So before it was like Spider-Man, who's actually 28, still in high school with his 29-year-old girlfriend. So I like the fact that he was actually a kid.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Yes, for the movie in this part, that's fine. But we can't forget that in the comic is not only a teenager Spider-Man, Peter Parker actually acting as an adult as well in some of the comic part. And that's one, the first. Spider-Man movie came out that Toby McGuire
Starting point is 01:19:10 he nailed it the Spider-Man wasn't good but Peter Parker as an Edward Peter Parker he was great he was amazing I think overall it was really really good and I would definitely recommend go and see it that's a yep I think Michael Keaton just
Starting point is 01:19:25 nailed it amazing isn't he but he's a great actor he's a fantastic actor so overall that gets a yep where's that button I didn't see the coming. Do you brand? Do you want some chicken?
Starting point is 01:19:39 Yep. Cheese! All right, sorry. Ask me, ask me. Okay, what did you go and see, darling? Okay, so what I went and watched was a... What we went and watched? What we went and watched, pardon me,
Starting point is 01:19:51 was an pornographic parody of a war film called Shaving Ryan's Privates. So, as opposed to, I'm joking, that was an awful joke that bombed. So, what I went and watched... I got excited. Come on. Using Stormsy to par your boyfriend live
Starting point is 01:20:09 Cool, I remember that Me and Johanna went and watched Planet the Apes Odeon gave us our own cinema screen To watch Planet of the Apes Which is pretty damn cool I don't know if you guys have seen the last one Have you seen it? The Dawn.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Which last one are we talking about? Dawn of the Planet of the Is. Brilliant film I was just like, how are we going to top this? And they nearly did with this one, which is war for the Planet of the Apes. I thought that it was very well thought out. The action was incredible.
Starting point is 01:20:40 It was very emotive. The way they made, you could understand the emotions coming from the chimps. And that's when you really, you see when people say that we come from monkeys. Obviously, we don't, but you can see so many, like, physicalities and the idiosyncrasies and facial expressions. And you know, you become an ape in yourself. I'm not even joking, it brings it out of you. You become an ape yourself and you really feel for them. And just like with Okja, how it made you feel like I don't want to eat me.
Starting point is 01:21:05 anymore. We left the cinema after watching something really profound. It echoed I don't want to ruin it for people but there were scenes in the film that echoed the Holocaust when the monkeys are trapped in prison and there were other like racial
Starting point is 01:21:21 slavery and things like that. There's undertones of like slavery and stuff like that and it was very very powerful and motive and I love the way they did it but the action scenes were incredible but it's not a massive but you know it's two hours, 20 minutes. That's pretty down long so I felt like my attention spanned just like
Starting point is 01:21:38 I got lost in it I absolutely adored it I thought it was amazing the CGI is stunning possibly the best Cgen I've I've ever seen I mean even if you think about Spider-Man homecoming there even a couple of moments where you're like CGI Spider-Man right there I never once was thrown out of the story and it's not a two-hour
Starting point is 01:21:58 epic action movie there are these wonderful moments of stillness and dialogue and Woody House and just again as usual as usual he's one of the greatest actor I saw in skiing as well started out as a weird little guy in cheers and now
Starting point is 01:22:12 incredible actor yeah I loved it it was like I couldn't really fault the movie it was really brilliant if you have the two hours and a half or whatever it takes to go and see it definitely it was a great movie indeed
Starting point is 01:22:24 like I don't doubt that but when I was asking like which are we talking about I don't know how many people saw the back like the old old words the original originals Dr Zezas 1968 and started the first movie
Starting point is 01:22:39 and it was a remake as well you know it's gonna sound interesting at 2001 they made a remake and it was I liked it it was a huge failure but I liked it and I was so angry like they end the movie with like a huge open and then we're gonna know what's happened
Starting point is 01:22:55 I was so annoying I happened to find War for the Pan of the Games nine interesting facts about the franchise that you didn't know Okay, so let's go for So it was back in the 1960s A makeup test was the turning point in the 20th century Fox because the makeup for the original movie was at the time phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:23:15 It was breakthrough, yeah. It was real actors being put with prosthetics that look like monkeys. So Planet the Apes actors, Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robertson appeared in the makeup screen tests with James Brolin and Linda Harrison and at the time the test, oh the makeup, the screen test reportedly cost 5,000 pounds to shoot
Starting point is 01:23:34 but this helped the former vice president to dish out 5 million for the film okay so they had to put in 5 grand to do a screen test to convince the producers and they got the budget for it and they got 5 million back out you'd think Charlton Hesman could have put up the 5 million himself he was rich back then I think
Starting point is 01:23:49 The makeup for the original movie cost around 500 grand sounds how much that's how much Johanna spends a week on her makeup oh she's but it's worth it but the budget was reported 1 million okay um so yeah that's a lot of money on makeup
Starting point is 01:24:04 that's a lot of mullah i wonder if what makeup brand actually did the makeup of the has anyone ever been to comic con and they've seen the guys who actually put on the prosthetic and they in the flesh it's the most bizarre thing i turned around and they had the most amazing it's ridiculous i i did a little promo event for resident evil a couple weeks back and i got turned into a zombie and i just had my face covered in prosthetics for it was a pain in the backside but it was great fun can you move your face uh i could but the more i move my face the more it disconnected from my skin. Well, you could be a great zone
Starting point is 01:24:35 with Danish kids like, like, ah. Yeah, exactly. Not bad, Kevin, not bad. While shooting the 1960s movie, the cast discovered something unusual would happen at lunchtime on set. While the actors were still in their costumes and they ranged from chimpanzees,
Starting point is 01:24:47 orang and tangs, gorillas and humans, they found themselves segregating according to species. Shut the front door. So the actors and the producers were confused, but everyone just seemed to segregate. Is that true? Apparently so. Racism.
Starting point is 01:25:00 heard that before. He's already started. Racism amongst days. And to conclude the producer of the new film saying that the movie is complete because at the end we were like, is there going to be another one? Is this the end?
Starting point is 01:25:12 Because it feels like there's kind of an end to a story here. They say it is not the end. It is the complete movie cycle of this section of the movies. But there is scope for many more stories. Get in. They've left space. However, one thing they are not going to do is they are never going to remake the original.
Starting point is 01:25:29 So they're never going to go back and test the original. I'm kind of on. I'm not happy with that. Why? Are you guys purists? Don't ruin an original movie like that. Yeah, you're right though. Part 2's never seem to do well, do you. I'm not a purist, but you know, get your damn hands off
Starting point is 01:25:42 me, you dirty egg. You can't be that, you know. That wasn't bad. Thank you, yeah. Right, so we're going to come back with a couple more of these Planet Eap tip bits. In a moment, it's going to go quickly to... She said tipped.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Beep. Are we funny? We can swear on the show, Kevin, it's fine. But thanks anyway. All righty then. We're just going to go from a little bit more from the soundtrack of how not to be single, and we'll be right back on Back Quare and Chill. And Chill with Johanna James on Fubour and Radio.
