Back row and chill with Johanna James on Fubar Radio.
Good afternoon. It's Friday. It's 4 o'clock, which means it is back row and chill.
I'm joined today by Chris Keegan.
Hello.
Hello. Hello, mate.
You're right.
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...
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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
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...
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
We're coming into land now on Back Quill.
I have prepared a little movie quiz since we're all well into film.
So how it's going to run down?
I'm going to play you a couple seconds of a soundtrack from a movie.
Think of a buzzer.
And if you know, if you think you know what it is,
just like shout your buzzer out.
And we'll just see how this goes.
Wait, shouldn't we...
What's the buzzer?
Like, buzz.
Yeah, so that's your one.
That's Kevin.
