Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Sunday Session podcast with Francesca Rudgin
from News Talk SEDB mad.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
For their music once again following their reunion, sending the
band to number one in the UK chart. So the
Greatest Hits compilation Time Flies It's gone back to the
top spot. That's followed by the nineteen ninety five album
What's the Story Morning Glory at number two and at
number four is definitely maybe they're just they could have
done the full sweep, but Sabrina Carpenter gotten the way
there at number three.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
But I don't know. I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Actually, the more I'm hearing about and the more I'm saying, oh,
I skip back to Gilan Hens, I have to hearab
with Fomo that I'm not going to be going to
the concert. But somebody who has got a ticket to
go to the concert in Australia is Chris Schultz. But
he's not going to tell me all about it because,
as I say, I've got Fomo.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
But good morning, Francesca.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Joining us the Talk Entertainment. Some very good news for
us though. Lord has announced, as we did say here
on the show when everyone got all upset that she'd
announced some tour days but hadn't announced New Zealand that
there was no way that she would miss coming home
to perform her new album And She.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Is She Is Yeah. Unlike Oasis, Lord is coming to
New Zealand for two shows next year. She's playing Spark
Arena on February eleven and Wolfbrook Arena and christ Tach
on February thirteen. They're definite upgrades on her last show here,
which was in the grotty underground toilet of the Pitt
Street YMCA my old gym a few weeks back.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
If you remember, yes, I have more fond memories of
the Western Springs Gurg.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
That was the last one I saw. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
There's one big problem with this tour though, and you
might have noticed a major city missed out in that
New Zealand tour. Wellington isn't getting a show. This has
caused a bit of an issue down here. I'm down
here now. I've already had several conversations with people mad
about this, and it's the second artist this week actually
to do the same thing. Lewis Capodi also announced the
(01:56):
New Zealand tour that included Auckland and christ but not Wellington.
So the big problem here, Wellington doesn't have its own
Spark Arena or Wolfbrook Arena. It's got TSB Bank Arena,
which is only about three and a half to four
thousand people, I think. So they're just missing that venue
that holds sort of around the eight to twelve thousand
(02:16):
people mark for any artist that falls into that category
like Lord, like Lewis Capaldi, they haven't really got anywhere
for them to play. They've got TESP Bankrena, or they've
got sky Stadium, which is, you know, thirty five thousand.
It's a lot bigger Tamotha poul the Century City in
Pears on the warpath about this, She's got plans, she's
(02:37):
trying to push this through. She says this that Wellington's
the only Australasian city that doesn't have a venue of
this size. So Wellington desperately needs this. They're going to
keep missing out on shows. Unfortunately, it really sucks being
a music fan if you're down here, especially after Homegrown
upsticks after twenty odd years and is moving to the
(02:58):
White Cuttle next year.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
So we just cannot get our stadium sorted in this country,
can we?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
We really can't.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
We can't. Jaws, of course, turned fifty this year, and
there's a new Disney doco that examines why it's been
so enduring.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
This made me feel so old. I wasn't even born
when it came out, but I specifically remember the first
time I saw it. I was sitting on my parents' couch.
I was watching it on their tiny color TV. But
I remember the chills. I remember the impact it had.
And this documentary's all about that. It's about filmmakers who
(03:34):
watched this and were inspired. JJ Abrams, for example, you know,
became a filmmaker because the Jaws. This really examines the
impact this film had the first big summer blockbuster. The
footage of the queues around the block for people lining
up to see this film are extraordinary. I've never seen
anything like it. That people just desperate to see it.
(03:55):
People went I saw it like ten times, thirty times,
like they just could not get enough of this, this
shark attack movie. The other really great thing the stock
which she does it. It explains how difficult Jaws was to make.
Steven Spielberg was twenty seven. He didn't have the reputation
obviously that he has now, and he had basically a
(04:17):
nervous breakdown, and he admits that he had panic attacks
for years afterwards. That went way over budget, that the
robotic shark that they made kept breaking down. It was
never working, it was reliable. Yes, yeah, I didn't know
any of this. So this was fascinating.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
If you don't know the making of it, you've got
to watch it. It is, Oh, it is. It's absolutely fascinating.
There is so much more to the film than just terrifying.
You'd go back in the water.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Hey, we're lucky it got made.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Really, Oh, totally, totally. It'd probably be better if it didn't.
I didn't go on the water for a long time afterwards. Hey,
you've also got a bit caught up with some shows
on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Well, it's pretty wild and wintery weather out there. It's
time for a good you know Netflix binge if it's
raining at your place. Train Wreck is a documentary series.
It's been around for a while. They kicked off with
Woodstock ninety nine. I remember watching that back in Lockdown.
It was about that music festival, really troubled music festival
from the nineties, and then they didn't make any for
ages and suddenly they've dropped eight train wreck documentaries. Now,
(05:19):
these are really short, forty five minute documentaries. They're super addictive.
They are about these pop culture moments that you sort
of remember, You sort of go ah, I've got a
vague recollection of that, and they just take you back there.
So there's one about Rob Stock, the mayor of Mayhem,
this Canadian mayor who was drunk and snorting coke and
(05:42):
just doing all this stuff and still getting elected. There's
one about balloon Boy, this kid which I vaguely remember
this his dad built a spaceship and this kid purportedly
went off and floated around America and this balloon. There's
one about American apparel and the Nightmare Boss but the
Highlight or than the Deer, depending on which start of
(06:04):
the fence you set on. As Poope c. Cruse, this
has been just a topic of very deep conversation in
our household. We watched it as a family. It's about
a cruise ship that caught on fire and got stranded
in the middle of the ocean and couldn't move, and
everyone on board had to start using red plastic bags
to do their business. And they were peeing in the
(06:26):
shower and they were laving on the top deck and
it's just I mean, everything's in that title. It's awful.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's just I love it. Look, we are sort of
middle of the middle of winter, and you do get
to the point where you get a bit desperate and
you watch anything. So there we go. If you're at
that point, I think Chris is giving you some really
good inspiration. Thanks so much, Chriss, appreciate it.
