Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Sunday Session podcast with Francesca Rudkin
from News Talk SEDB.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
There's a little bit of Harry Styles. It's a song
called American Girls. It's off the new album that he
released on Friday called Kiss All the Time Disco Occasionally,
which is an interesting way to live your life. I
wasn't so sure about this album and these songs when
I first heard them, and the more I hear them,
the more I'm kind of going, you know what, not
so bad in the background sort of you know, get.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
A bit of a move on, jiggle on. Steve neel
is where us a talk entertainment. You have you been
listening to Harry.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
No, but I understand why the sort of hints of
like I've been listening to El City sound System, but
we can hear that. You can hear it in that song.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Absolutely anyway, Harry Styles One Night in Manchester. That is
a film. It's going to be on Netflix. I think
it's kicking off eight a m. Tomorrow morning here in
New Zealand. So for all you Harry Styles fans, there
we go.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'll put it on the watch list.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Steve put that on the watch list. But I'm very excited,
and I know you are too, because a Disney Plus
show that we both really enjoyed the first time it
came around just sort of took me a little bit
by surprise was Paradise, and it's back for season two.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
I'm really really enjoying the show. Season one was such
a nice surprise in the era of instant kind of spoilification.
It was great to a show that held a kind
of big secret at its core. Murder mystery about the
President turned out it was taking place in a replica
of a small town that was in a bunker inside
the Colorado Mountains. There'd been a super volcano, most of

(01:38):
the earth being wiped out by a mega tsunami, and
this kind of revealed itself over the first season did
kind of beg the question, where does the show go
from here? Season one minus spoilers, what kind of minus
spoiled it already? Actually? Season one ended with discovering the
outside world wasn't quite as totally devastated as everyone thought,
and took the unconventional step for season two of dropping

(02:00):
the first three episodes at once, which was a nice
way to kind of jump back into a show that
a lot of people binged in its first season. The
first episode I really liked featured a new character as
a flashback episode. It showed what they did when they
hold up at their work, except their work was Graceland
because they were a tour guide for Elvis's old house.
So it was kind of bottle episode set in Graceland.

(02:26):
And then the other two episodes kind of move the
narrative along a little bit, but also kind of set
up that the show's going to go into even bigger
kind of sci fi territory. There's this bit of dialogue
that I really really liked from episode three as well,
like thinking about that with a merge into the world,
it's a bit, a bit rubble, but it's okay, and
the scientist explains the survivors are thinking, we made it,

(02:46):
We're so lucky. Not so fast, morons. That was just
the first act, and then goes on to explain what's
coming next to these people as a replica of what
happened on the planet Venus, where greenhouse gases are going
to ratch it up the heat, the air is going
to thicken, the oceans are going to evaporate, and soon
the pressure is going to crush everything standing.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Shalene Woodleigh stars as this character who is the Graceland tour.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Great addition to the cast is amazing And I'm going
to be honest with you, she made me cry. I've
cried in an episode of the show which kind of
took me by surprise.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Episode of Lost.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I know exactly. It kind of took me by surprise
and I have it. Yeah, so I absolutely with a watch.
So season two is on now Disney Plus and the
New Zealand comedy Fist has made its first announcement.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yes, totally our programs out. Tickets are on sale now.
This has taking place in Auckland and Wellington between the
first and twenty fourth of May. It's the thirty third
Auckland edition celebrating thirty years in Wellington. Stacked lineup as
you'd expect. I was just going to rattle off some
of the locals. They include Brindley stant Paul Ego, Timbatt,
David Carrios, Abby Howell's, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera,

(03:54):
et cetera. I thought i'd just highlight a couple of
things that stood out from the early announcements. So the
biggest international name I've seen in the program Eddie Izzard
doing a show called Eddie Izzard The Remix Eddie inspired
by her ever loyal audiences, remixing and reimagining some of
her own favorite personal comedy highlights. I believe that's at
the Civic and Auckland. The best title of a show

(04:16):
at the Comedy Festival this is Guy Williams's show. So
think about how shouty Guy Williams is and just imagine
him screaming this title at you. Rich people are stealing
from you and blaming brown people and trans people, and
some people believe them.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Ah, it's his title.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Great name for a show, I think if you ring
up the ticket company and try and order those down
the phone.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
The way, I was trying to write a shorter blurb
for what the show's about, so he thought he'd take
up more space on the program page with the time.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Absolutely or someone just got stuck in an elevator with
him and said, that's the name of that's the name
of your show. The best social media presence for a
show that I've seen so far is Rhiann and McCall
and their show Nosferatu Looking for Love, where there's been
a lot of a lot of clips of Nosarato interviewing
people about love on the streets and McCall's version of

(05:04):
nos Farata is quite good. I look forward to this
as much as they're looking forward to Love and our
best kind of international gamble that jumps out of the festival.
So far from me as a stamp town. This is
a late night show. It's an international show that that
happens as part of festivals. It's sort of an anti
comedy variety show from what I gather. The Guardian says

(05:27):
it features fibery than copious nudity and superb performances, and
notes that it's sort of hosted by an alter ego
of Zach Zucker. He's playing a host called Jack Tucker
and a little bit of a Sleezebag, so they're kind
of last everyone late night Sleezebag hosted anti comedy variety show.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Okay, thumbs up or a thumbs down from you, please,
just very quickly. Western Springs Bowl, thirty thousand seat concert
plan thumbs up with them.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Massive thumbs up. Okay, I'm delighted. I'm delighted, Laneway. Western
Springs was wonderful. It was great being in that neighborhood.
It's such a good environment to go to a show
in both the Amphitheat, the Natural anphtheater itself, but also
it's it's a really nice part of Auckland. And yeah,
I'm glad that this now stays in the hand of
hands of Aucklander's and not billionaires.
