Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be welcome to New Zealand. Marcus here till midnight tonight.
I hope things are good where you are. I hope
in the next three and a half hours, three hours
fifty three. If they're not good, they will get better. Obviously,
a big deal with the old supermarket of Victoria Park.
That's where, well some of you will know where that is,
near the old Victoria Park markets, just across the road
from there. It's a weird kind of supermakers. You park downstairs,

(00:35):
it's all above there. Oh yes, it's quite she she
two people going from the gym buying skinless chicken and things.
So that's well involved that far of you and I
witness there have got any stories from that today. I
don't know if the cars still stuck. You're probably more
across that than I am. Feels real reminiscent of the
fire at the convention set. It doesn't it one of

(00:58):
those ones that goes on and on and on and
maybe is still burning. You might have some information. You
got to fight the all night. I imagine the food's
all gone. Imagine that we quite the insurance claim to
work out what food's there? Goodness, foreigner souper. I can't
even think of the present for a foreigner supermarket, kin'd
of I think the last time that happened, so you
might have some information about that would be of interest

(01:20):
to me. I will keep you updated with the news
around the next three hours fifty three minutes. I know
that Trump has left the G seven. There was some
talk about heading around with a bunker buster. I don't
know if that was just talk. The story seems to
have become more complicated than that than that in the

(01:41):
last couple of hours since I've been following that story.
So if anything happens there, and I think we'll know
if something happens there, I will let you know about it.
See won't miss the news by sitting it settling in
here for the next three hours and fifty two minutes. Gosh,
I'm quick at working out the calculation, aren't I what
I try to do today? Because it's fifty years since
the movie Jaws, and I decide I wanted to watch it,

(02:07):
having never seen it, couldn't work out where to go
and see that. If someone could help me where to
go and watch Jaws. Where do you find all the
old movies? I kind of did a quick google on
how to watch it, and then I was on the
second hand shops. So there's some VHS's, but I've got
a VHS player. So if anyone I've really keen this
week to discuss Jaws, the book or the movie, but
first of all, I've got to watch it. I intended

(02:28):
to front up tonight having watched it. That didn't happen
for me because I couldn't find the damn thing. So
if anyone knows where I can watch Jaws. Apparently the
book in the movie are quite different. The book is
really good as well, but different from the movie. The
book's got more subplots. But yes, fifty years I remember
it vividly when it came out. The thing that was
most terrifying about it was the poster and the music.

(02:53):
Don't know if anyone watched that recently or know where
they can watch it. If you've got information about that,
do let me know. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine two year, fifty years from the I think
the book came The movie came out for Rest soon
after the book. It might have even been the same year.
I think the whole story of the making of Jaws
was some of you will know more about this than

(03:14):
I do. That because the mechanical shark didn't function very well,
they had to film in a different way, which made
it even more terrifying because the threat and menace was
implied rather than some mechanical thing. But you know what
I love. I love the fact they never remade it.

(03:36):
And that's a topic. They're just they're sitting there, isn't
it the movies. You're very happy they haven't remade Well,
let's put Jaws top of the list, although having never
seen it, I'm always an expert on that, because what
a terrible thing that would be. Could you have some
agi gpt CGI shark coming at you wouldn't look good
at all. So I'm very happy they haven't remade Jaws.

(03:57):
You might want to comment on this also, very happy
they haven't remade the Sound of Music. Very happy they
haven't remade Star Wars. Well, we'll think of all the
movies they could have remade, they just didn't do that.
Thank you people for not doing that. Anyway, that's something
you might want to mention too, So get in touch.
You want to be a part of the show. If
there's something else you want to mention talk about, get

(04:18):
in touch. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty, get in
touch here till twelve nine to nine to is the texts,
by the way, just as a complete different I don't
want to chuck too many topics that you're to start with,
but it feels like it's going to be one of
those nights he'd be read that be where that lugie

(04:39):
that's going around one hundred day. Heck, you don't want
that goodness anyway. I'll tell you more about that some
other time. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. This day
in twenty eight a millionarire I the first woman to
fly across the Atlantic. Pushy husband, they reckon Gary, It's Marcus.
Good evening and welcome. Oh you mice good Gary good, Gary,

(05:00):
very good, Gary.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Bloody yell fifty years ago since I had to leave
the theater because I pull my eyes out with parents
were terrified. Not that old. Parents decided it was a
great idea, even though we lived near the beach. Let's
go see Jaws. Fantastic idea when I was ten years old. Great,

(05:26):
So the part that got me it was all bit
as scary, But the part that got me was when
the boat started to he was feeding the I remember
it distinctly. He was feeding the slush out going I
don't have to feed this stuff out. I don't think
the sharks and have turned out. Next minute it jumped
out of the water at him and I just lost it,

(05:49):
falling my eyes out. Parents took me out of the
theater and fact then you had a custodian who looked
after the theater, so they took me into their office
and they had all the posters of doors as well,
I know. And I settled down and I was all good.
And then as a many of the custodian signed a
poster and gave it to me.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Mom and Dad put it up on the wall.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
And I didn't sleep for a week and I never
went in the water for years.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Did your parents go back and enjoy the rest of
the film, Yes, it's a good story. When did you
find when did when did you finally see it?

Speaker 5 (06:27):
The end of it? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (06:29):
When did bick age later? Bick age later?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
And then I watched the sequels as well?

Speaker 7 (06:35):
I know that.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yes, okay, one, two, and.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Three, I think yes, But traumatized, never went in the
sea for probably five years.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
Horrific.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's well, I never saw them, but there was a
neighbor across the road and their father was quite a
military type person. He I mean, never took his kids
to the movie, just stayed open. Took us three kids,
I think, almost a tougher them up and I thought,
jeepest creepers. That was a tough move and as a
rest by that. But I never saw it. I missed
the boat, was scared. Never seen it in my life.

(07:10):
Can't wait to see it. Can't work out where I
can see it.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
On YouTube and just look out Jaws and then find
the movie link for Jaws. I've watched the Waltons, all
the ard stuff on YouTube. We just find it and
watch it, you.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Know, Will Jaws be on YouTube?

Speaker 8 (07:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (07:33):
They thanks on you man.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Just you do a little bit of a search. I'm
sure you'll find it.

Speaker 9 (07:38):
Haven't you giving me a poster?

Speaker 10 (07:40):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
I can't believe it. Because the poster was terrifying, The
music was terrifying.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
It was all terrifying, exactly, exactly, just nuts. Because I'm
sweet and just thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, Well, because because living in Bluff there were people
always asking me if I want to go and go
shark watching where they drop in their cage, and I'm
thinking I couldn't think anything worse.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
You're in a cage, you'll be right.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh yeah, I wouldn't want to go. Gary, not that interested.
Thank you too for Tuesday. We've got two. Gary's got
a doublehead of garys. Second Gary, Gary, but two it's Marcus.
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 11 (08:20):
Hey, you want to know we watched yours. Okay, you
can stream it on Neon or Apple TV and JB
Hi Fi sell the DVDs.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Wow, would most people still have a DVD player? I
don't even know if I would have one.

Speaker 11 (08:41):
Yeah, probably for most of your Blu ray players will
play DVDs as well.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Okay, that's why I think i'm sort of in the
in the Okay, we've got a JB High fight down.
They'll try that and report back. The poster if you
don't know, the poster is that great lettering of duwelers.
And then you've got a woman swimming and she might
be naked, she might be a skinny dipper, and then
most of the poster is just a shark surface about

(09:06):
to take her.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
So that's a pretty interesting story, is it. And the
shark looks menacing April. It's Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 12 (09:20):
Marcus Hello. I just had to talk to you about Jaws.
When that came out, I was seventeen at the movies,
and back then I think it was pretty well made,
and it was damn scary and at the tender age
of seventeen, like so many other people that are probably

(09:42):
going to ring, and I was terrified to go in
the ocean after that. Look, even I take we'd go
on holidays to Tatne and then we beat j Nelson
And if anyone knows what I back, it's.

Speaker 13 (09:54):
Like a milk on about you.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
It is too if the water.

Speaker 14 (09:58):
Came up past my chest, who would be terrified? There
was going to be a sharkner And that's been one
of my favorite I've never been too scared to watch
a movie, but the impression it made on me was lifelong.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Where did you, April? Where did you see it? Who
did you see it with? Were you and Nelson?

Speaker 12 (10:19):
It would have been with my with my boyfriend at
the time.

Speaker 15 (10:22):
I saw it in.

Speaker 14 (10:23):
The movie theater in donedan Wow and.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Hang on did you Holiday? And Tahuna Nui from Dunedin. Yes,
often every year that's a drive.

Speaker 14 (10:38):
We'd go up for a couple of weeks and stay
out there.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I want a mission. That'd be like a twelve hour drive,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 14 (10:46):
Yeah, Oh, we did it in a couple of a
couple of days. We'd sometimes stop in christ Church on
the way up. But we loved it up there. But
even in that water, I was still terrified, and to
this day I've never felt the same about swimming in
the ocean. It really did have a lasting effect. And
they did make a Jaws two and the George Jaws three,

(11:08):
but they didn't measure up and they.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Didn't but they didn't remake. They didn't remake the original either,
which I think is the best thing with because I'm
sure there's a temptation to bring the real crash hot animatronics,
you know, CG CGI, and they've never done that because
I think probably what was quite good about it was
that the mechanical shark didn't really work, so it was
used quite sparingly.

Speaker 14 (11:30):
He I think I remember reading that Steven Spielberg, who
was quite young at the time when he made that movie,
just to spared sometimes with the mechanical shaft didn't behave.
It didn't behave, but we didn't know that when we
were watching it, obviously. I think I also remember reading

(11:53):
that because he was quite young and he had quite
a lot of headstrong actors in the film. But that
was a bit much from two the Old Sea Captain
apparently the chiefmin that played that role actually was a
bit of a drinker and it made the acting a
little bit more real maybe at times. And he didn't

(12:14):
get on with Richard Dracus apparently, so that caused a
good attention.

Speaker 13 (12:17):
From what I've read over the years.

Speaker 14 (12:19):
But if I think, you've still got to pay per
view if you want to see it on YouTube or
something like that. But it was on Netflix for a
long time and I used to watch it once a month,
So not scared of the movie. Totally impressed with it

(12:43):
for the way it was for the time, but honestly, yeah,
just terrified me. And I used to love to swim
in the ocean. I'd dive in the waves, so new
I got beaches inndermedia and we used to spend a
lot of time in them.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
But you know, of course, seems quite shocking. Well, thanks
so much, Donna, quickly, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (13:01):
Hi, it's Donna. I just thought i'll tell you Acus.

Speaker 17 (13:04):
If you've got sky towards.

Speaker 18 (13:06):
The is on Saturday night, is it really?

Speaker 9 (13:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (13:10):
I saw in the Buddhistment today on Bravo on the movies.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
On the movie, we've got sky. But on the movies.

Speaker 17 (13:17):
No, no, it's not on the movies.

Speaker 16 (13:19):
It's on Bravo.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh wow, jupesscreepers. It's we can sort it out. I'll
watch the kids. I'll get the kids to watch. Okay, Donna,
thank you. Remind me that Dan, that's good for Matarika. Yeah, okay, yes,
Sky Bravo. Oh that's brilliant, brilliant. Okay, I appreciate that.
Our line's free. If you want to talk. We're talking

(13:41):
Sharks and Jaws. Why not just a couple of things.
Quickly they called the mechanical shark Bruce, after Steven Spielberg's lawyer.
That's quite funny. And the production of Jaws was such
a was such a troublesome experience, the crew nicknamed the
movie Flaws rather than Jaws. Are like that. Twenty three
past eight, Louis, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 15 (14:02):
Why.

Speaker 19 (14:04):
I think the reason why they haven't remade.

Speaker 15 (14:07):
The Jaws is because the guy who wrote the.

Speaker 19 (14:11):
Book was at Brenchley or Peter Brenchley, and also Stephen Spielberg.
They both expressed enormous regret at the impact that the
film had on the public section of sharks. And yeah,
because the decimation of the shark population since that, the
people saw them as you know, like you know, shark

(14:33):
hunting and fishing and all of that. Yeah, So it's
interesting what a film can have, the effects, the cultural
effect that can have.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
So I was reading that last night, according to Benchley's widow,
that he spent a lot of his later life, you know,
really campaigning and putting money towards the preservation protection of
sharks because he I mean, look, I don't know what
it was like before that. It's hard to remember what
it was like because I was only ten at the time.
But it's hard to remember if people were terrified of
sharks pre the movie.

Speaker 19 (15:05):
Pet's not to that extent though, because it really was
an early horror movie, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Oh yeah, and look just all of it, the music, everything,
and just you know, you didn't even have to see
it to be terrified by them.

Speaker 19 (15:18):
They're always playing it is that callers said they always
replay it on television like three times a year on that.
I know you probably don't watch free to air channels one, two,
and three, but they're forever playing it.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Apparently it's on channel it's on Bravo, which is free
to wear on Sunday nights, so that's channel four or
channel twelve. So I will be watching it if the kids.
I don't know, if I've got trouble with our kids,
right because our kids jump off the wharf at Bluff.

Speaker 19 (15:46):
I wouldn't show it to them, definitely, no.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
But the thing with them jumping off the wolf at Bluff,
it's it's controversial because they're always having fights with the council.
But now one of the news in shark Experts to
see that's the same place the boats come in and
they're fillitting fish and doing stuff like that. Sounds like
a perfect shark spot. So oh no, okay, there's sea
scouts as well, so don't want to fill them with

(16:08):
Tara Marcus, how really old? Are you lush? Not seeing Jaws?
Are you a sock? Get real?

Speaker 10 (16:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (16:15):
I'm desperate to see it, but you know, I forgot
to see it for a long time. And now I'm
looking back and realizing it's fifty years and I'm appalled.
I can't wait to see it. I think of all
the conversations of used out because I couldn't say we're
going to need a bigger boats, because that's what you say,
isn't it when you're at sea? Jules Marcus, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 20 (16:35):
Did you ever work at Armadillo? Yes, in krop.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Simon Street, f Street. Yeah, yeah, anyway, Eden, Wellington, Yeah,
I remember that.

Speaker 20 (16:50):
Anyway. My story about the Jaws is that I couldn't
stand university, so I left it my first year. I
went traveling and I was walking along Oxford Street with
my handy Canon camera and I saw it crowd forming,
and I thought I'd go along there. So I went

(17:11):
along there and it was Andy Warhol and is then
very young mus.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
And Oxford Street, Sydney or in London, London, yep, okay, yep.

Speaker 20 (17:25):
And I thought I was the official photographer, of course,
you know, hiding behind my twenty year old fears. And
they said, make way for the photographer, make way for
the photographer.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
What year we talking.

Speaker 20 (17:39):
Seventy four or seventy five?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, you've got a young setting woice just hanging their jewels.
We'll come back to the rest of the story because
you're not going to be a short call, because this
is a good material and we'll build it up. So
just don't go anywhere jewels. Thanks Tony, Back to your jewels.
So nineteen seventy four or seventy seven, what did you say, seventy.

Speaker 20 (17:56):
No, no, no, no, I'm fifty four. I was born in
fifty fours seventy four or seventy five, okay, and had
just come out and I had lucked into the crowd
lining up to see Andy Warhol, and they thought I

(18:16):
was an official photographer, so they let me in. I
got all these great photos of Andy Warholf and I
lined up also with the box that was his A
to B again, I think it was A to b
Andy Warhol is one of Andy Wowholf's books. And Andy
Warhol said to me, oh, who do you want me

(18:38):
to dedicate that to. Now remember at this time the
whole world had banners about Jaws and everything, and London,
Jaws was everywhere. And I said Jaws and he said, oh,
that's funny. He thought I said Jaws, so he wrote
me in autograph saying to Jaws, wow, it's still on
my walls.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
And did you actually say jewels?

Speaker 20 (19:02):
I said jewels, but he was as Jaws. Wow, Now
how's that? And I've still got it on my wall.
And I just went to check it that I was
still there, and I thought my wife replaced it with
a Chinese painting. I found it.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's a poster of his book, is it.

Speaker 20 (19:25):
It's the you know, the inside cover. He wrote a
book A to B. Yeah, and so you lined up
to get him to sign it and he signed it
on the on the inside cover, A to B to
Jaws Andy wohol.

Speaker 8 (19:41):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (19:43):
And I've still got it and i've you know, I
kept it very really carefully on the sid free paper
and stuff. But fifty years ago you can hardly see it.
Very funny story. I still have the photo.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
That faded away, has it?

Speaker 20 (20:00):
Oh you can still see it?

Speaker 21 (20:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
What a story. Thank you, Jiles. I appreciate that greatly.
Sewanotte's Marcus, Well.

Speaker 21 (20:08):
Marcus, welcome. What a fantastic topic. I was only five
years old when George came out, but I saw it later.
But it's a movie where there's been several documentaries. It's
had a number of unique stories. The first story is
Steven Spielberg was Tho, the third string director. He'd made
The American Caffeedi and he couldn't get a job with
only twenty nine and a big studio wouldn't give a
young man a big budget film. It's much much like

(20:32):
Peter jackson sly story and try the directors pulled out,
so we've got the movie by mistake or in his opinion,
and he says he wouldn't have gone on to do
Star Wars and The Terminator. He credits his entire career
to Jaws being part of that film. Also, there was
a series of mechanical issues. Several of these stunt actors
who were working the Shark are nearly drowned. It was

(20:55):
actually very digitual to get insurance underwriters. There were some
near fatalities. And thirdly, the guy that played Quinte, who
was a famous Thesman actor Broadway, was a drunk off
the ship several times and nearly drowned. They had to
rescue them. It was a movie set with everything from
the director who was never meant to direct the film,
to the to the to the to the mechanics. Also,

(21:19):
what environments are worried about is after the film came out,
there was a huge spike in shark hunting and there
were several endangered species around the Caribbean they were trying
to protect, and that any numbers were decimated because people
thought it was open season nine sharks, but not realizing
some of them are protected species.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Wow. I think it says originally that Spielberg wanted to
use a live shark, to use live sharks for that,
But that's that's why I think the production or the Yeah,
they delayed because I wanted to use live shots, but
had decide they did to use mechanical ones. But they
just would have to scratch.

Speaker 21 (21:57):
And they got inside and the drowned that they nearly
had fatality. It was quite a it was quite a
comedy of well I say comedy of eras, but it was.
It was a remarkable and did die. But he credits
his later career if he didn't didn't get Jaws, he
didn't believe he worked done a terminator or when part
of Star Wars, he says it started with Jaws for him.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
You put it as one of the great movies.

Speaker 21 (22:20):
I do think it was one of the great movies
because I thought it made people think about it was
a unique subject. There was nothing like in the past.
It wasn't a horror movie, it wasn't a science fiction.
It was something unique. I think it was authentic, and
also said Royce Schneider was a very seasoned actor, and
I think it was actually quite quite a pointed thing.

(22:42):
It may be a little bit of fake to go
in the water for a while, but as I recall,
but it was. I think it was a good story
and shark hunting was a legitimate thing back in the
early twentieth century, whale hunting because they wanted to get
rid of him. And there was a lot of problems
that came after it. But the first film was the best.
The second and third I think they lost the magic.
But the first film was the original, and Spielberg credits

(23:06):
as one of the movies. You're way made by a mistake,
but it actually gave him great career afterwards.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Just I don't want to affect check you sure, but
I don't think he did American Graffiti. I think that
was Lucas, wasn't it.

Speaker 21 (23:22):
Something?

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I think I think Joe was his first one that
had kind of done, which is just a truck chasing
a car. But nice to hear from you, Seaw, this
is good stuff. Guys twenty four to nine, Karram, it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Welcome Hi Marcus. Yeah, just Jaws.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
It reminded me.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
I know this is probably going off topic, but kind
of related to the Jaws. There's a movie playing called
The Dangerous Animals at the moment of the cinemas.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Is it a guy feeding people to live sharks?

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's a shark movie. But it's really interesting
that they've shown the animal the humans to be actually
more dangerous than the sharks, because he's doing something more
dangerous than the sharks. So it's kind of like, you
know what I mean, it's kind of like opposite to
the Jews.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
What's it like? Have you seen? Have you seen it?

Speaker 22 (24:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (24:18):
I actually like this.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
So he's a psychopath and he's catching people and feeding
them the sharks, is he.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah, that's what he does. And it's kind of
it's you know, the message is seending is that actually
the humans can be more dangerous. And I thought that's
very interesting because you know how everyone's kind of like
skin of sharks and then here there's this human trying
to Dutch people and then feed them to the sharks
and you know, so, yeah, it was quite an interesting movie. Yeah,

(24:51):
the focus is not a lot on the shark itself.
It's not really scary in that term at all. So
Jaws kind of one wins out. You know, like, I
don't think there'll be a shark movie made as good
as the Jaws again.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
You know, what are the special effects like on this one?

Speaker 5 (25:12):
They're okay, But it's just because normally what he does
is he you know, the sharks kind of like you know,
he's just paus a bit of blood or whatever into
the water and comes around and circles around and he's
feeding these people. And it's not really much to do
with the shark itself. It's he likes capturing the you
know people, He likesmera and then he likes to capture

(25:36):
to see how they're being eaten.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Does he feed them? Are they alive when he's feeding
them to the sharks?

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Yeah, he ties them to a ripe and then like
kind of lowers them down into the water. And it's
this whole movie is about you know, the whole rope
going down, you know, the noise, it makes and the
cinematography and all of that is pretty good, like you know,
the movie Buff, but yeah, the shark itself, you don't
really see much of it because you know, sometimes they're

(26:07):
kind of half their bodies in the water and it's
kind of eating away or something. So you know, you
don't really see much of the shark.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Is it a horror?

Speaker 5 (26:22):
It's a thriller? I mean, yeah, yeah, I think it's
just a yeah, thriller. But yeah, I just found it
quite interesting, you know. I mean I go to most
movies that are playing, and I found this one to
be kind of interesting, like a lot of other ones
are just so boring.

Speaker 10 (26:40):
You know.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
It's a different take, you know.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
What I mean. Like, so it's a naughty film? Is
that I just filmed in Australia?

Speaker 5 (26:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you get the Gold Coast
and everything, and it's quite well band Like sometimes you know,
they can be too weird, but this is kind of
it is weird, but you know it's kind of not
too weird. They've kind of found a balance, I suppose,
you know. So it kind of reminded me like I
didn't even know what was the movie, you know, I

(27:11):
just thought of dangerous animals and it's kind of I thought, okay,
well it's a shark movie, will have started, and then
you realize, actually, you know that people can be more
dangerous than the sharks.

Speaker 23 (27:23):
You know.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Nice to hear from you, Kuran, Thank you. Eighteen to nine. Jeff,
it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Hi, Jeff, yeah believing.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
Oh sorry is this why call?

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, it's your call, Jeff, This is Marcus. Welcome about that.

Speaker 8 (27:43):
It's just going back to talking about Jaws. That took
me right back. I was twenty four years of age
in Australia and I'm not about nineteen seventy four, and
when the first Jaws movie came out, Yeah, sure, who
was pretty scary, but it was great.

Speaker 22 (28:04):
It was a great movie.

Speaker 8 (28:07):
I went and saw Jaws two and three, but not
very impressed with it. It will never be the same
as Jaws one.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
I think there was Jaws and three D two was there.

Speaker 8 (28:21):
It could have been. I'm not sure about that.

Speaker 15 (28:24):
But the.

Speaker 8 (28:28):
First Jaws was really scary. My girlfriend and I were
sitting there and in one part, I think she jumped
about ten feet out of her seat and I had
to keep telling her it's onny a movie don't get
too carried away. And anyway, it was a great movie.

(28:52):
Steelbird did a great job of making that movie. But
Jaws two and three it was okay, but not the same.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't think anybody ever thought that Matrix were going
to be in the sequel, and at least the three
at least they've never remade the original. That's what I
think I'm happy about. Jeff, thank you. If we had
three Jeffs, two Garries, one Jeff. Oh wait, one hundred
and eighty ten. It's all about Jaws tonight, fifty years brilliant,

(29:24):
so plenty of you would have been young kids when
you're dragged along to set and terrified. Someone says, watched
the Shallows, another good shark movie, Marcus. When Jaws came
out in South Africa, the sence has made so many cuts,

(29:44):
everyone called it gums. I used to practice swimming for
competitions beyond the breakers. My dad used to sit in
the hell and watch out the Jaws. I've never gone
in the ocean above my knees ruin my lovers swimming
in the ocean, Marcus. Fun fact. The shark on the
Jaws poster as a Marco, not a great weight. We're

(30:08):
talking Jaws. You've got anything to add, it's a good topic. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty thirty nine two nine two to text,
your experiences with it, your commentary about it. Everyone loves it,
don't they seems to be. I think one puts in
the great the greatest, Well, in the top ten, wouldn't they.
I think it's top ten, isn't it? Just from its

(30:32):
sheer impact into popular culture?

Speaker 13 (30:36):
Brilliant?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Not quite sure the story of the music, but that
was pretty legendary as well. Steve Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 13 (30:44):
Andy Marcus, How are you good?

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Things?

Speaker 13 (30:49):
Good? Jaws three was the three D one. Oh, it's
the marketing, pretty sure, because that was one of the
first ones I saw as a lad. And I'm pretty
sure they played the first Jaws on TV prior to
freak Us all that. Again, that was the first time
I saw it.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
What we're talking like nineteen eighty eighty five or something, Yeah, yep, something,
And then I guess there's plenty of the action of
the shark jumping out towards you. It been three D.

Speaker 13 (31:14):
Yeah, it was pretty good. Back in the day. That
was when you had to wear or make your own
glasses with the blue limbs and the red Lins as well.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
It was quite good, they market. Yeah, it was quite good.
And then it came back about ten. Yeah, don't quite
because even about ten years ago there was a huge
thing about three D. It disappeared because Evatar was three D,
wasn't it.

Speaker 16 (31:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (31:36):
There was, and I think maybe even the Hobbit they
did it their high refresher rate end three D or so.

Speaker 15 (31:42):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
So you saw the Jaws movies in reverse order? Did
you start off with a terrible one then worked up
for the epic one?

Speaker 12 (31:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (31:51):
Probably a bit like Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yes, yes, I will. Star Wars is different all together, Steve,
Thank you? When do you start off with number four?

Speaker 8 (31:59):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Pleased? I've left the Star Wars behind. I did a
job for the kids. We watched them all a number
of times, but you don't miss them. They never really
grabbed me. Don't know why. I think in the in
the end, the whole Star Wars universe became too complicated,
too different characters and different things. Although I like the
last one actually surprisingly enough, Rise of Skywalker thought that

(32:21):
was good. I'll go see any when they come out
of the cinema. I think these cinema things, it's where
you've got to see them. Dave Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 21 (32:31):
Macus.

Speaker 22 (32:31):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Okay, yes, well, thank you, thanks for asking. Yes, well,
thank you.

Speaker 19 (32:36):
Hey.

Speaker 9 (32:36):
I really enjoyed showing that too.

Speaker 21 (32:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (32:39):
So I've just caught the tail. I'm just setting minute
ago the leave the topic, George. It's just reminded me
a great movie, really good book too. I can't remember
the name of the ride, but he's written some other
quite there's another great book he wrote which is all similar.
It's not a shark, it's kind of like an octopus thing,
and it's about this couple and it's that's another great route.

(33:01):
It might be called The Beast or something like that.
It's a really good book too. But I'm just just
a I don't think because it's something that I saw again.
I saw years ago, and then I saw it again.
It came up with my my news feed on my
on my Facebook, and it was about because you recall
Richard Drefus.

Speaker 21 (33:19):
You know he was he was the guy on the boat.

Speaker 9 (33:23):
In the movie with Richard Dravia and I can't think
of the actor's name, but he's a he's a famous
famous British actor someone Sure. He was this He played
the part of the Nailei old skipper.

Speaker 21 (33:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (33:38):
So apparently those two had what you what you called
bad chemistry going on from the get go, which really
helped these scenes. And it was just to the sort
of it was to the extent where they couldn't be
together without people being around them unless you know, when
they weren't playing their role. And I think a story

(34:03):
is that Draaic has kind of swanned onto to the.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Film set.

Speaker 9 (34:09):
And complained about having to be out on a boat
and he shouldn't be there because he just had a
couple of big films and he was a bit of
a star, and he was containing about being in this
stupid movie out on a boat in this very famous
English I think it's someone Sure, someone on Oh took
an instant dislike to him, so just really really gave

(34:29):
him a hard time the entire.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Robert Sure, Robert s, Yeah, I thought you thought Grayfuss
was arrogant and sort of above the station. I think,
but I reckon it made the movie what it was
the fact that they were so so sort of you know,
there was so much hatred.

Speaker 9 (34:48):
Yeah, yeah, well gave it that great tension, you know,
but like Lingwood Mac, Yeah, that's right. And and also
and of course that that that movie. You know, there's
there's scenes from movies like Lawrence of Arabia and it's
you know, certain scenes from movies. And of course Robert
Shaw's little story that he tells, you know, him and
his mates by the bombing and the Second World War

(35:09):
on that ship and then they all float around in
the water and then the sharks came. That scene, is
you know that that that's that's often quoted as one
of the one of the greatest acting pieces in any movie.
And it really is, you know, whether you're on the
fence about the wholehighlight shark context or not that bad
is it? Because I've gone back and watched that scene

(35:29):
again and it's it's fantastic as acting and that really
is just bang on steals the show with that scene.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
I think, as I say, Dave, I haven't seen it.

Speaker 16 (35:40):
Oh my god.

Speaker 10 (35:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
So I started off tonight's show by saying, look, it's
fifty years undetermined to right the wrongs. Where will I
watch it? And anyway we've ended we've ended up just
talking about it tonight anyway. So so I'd like to
watch some of those documentaries about the making of it,
because the whole thing, I mean, it seems absolutely fascinating.

Speaker 9 (35:59):
You know, there's so much going on because of course Spielberg.
I think that was was that was that was.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
I think that was it was.

Speaker 10 (36:05):
It was.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
It done duel in a couple of minor ones, but
this was as big as he was only twenty nine
as a young guy.

Speaker 9 (36:11):
Yeah yeah, I mean you watch it as well. I
actually I watch sport of but yeah, yeah, well, well
you'll enjoying it.

Speaker 21 (36:17):
That's one thing.

Speaker 9 (36:18):
Else one and another thing. I'd encourage you to because
it's reminding me of I think I ard you one
night say you don't we and have never worn gendles.
I encourage you to do the driving the word right now.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
I might we Gendles and watch Jaws. Dave make a
real Sunday.

Speaker 9 (36:36):
Yeah, tack too often the same night.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Brilliant, You're good on your day. Thanks for calling me
out on my stupidity. Fancy that there's been a bed
of honor. How ridiculous six to nine never worn gendals.
It's good what people remember. Oh yeah, lust, he doesn't
mean Jennal's an idiot. That's what you want to get
people going around about. I was seventeen when Jaws came

(37:03):
out and I was traumatized about going in the water.

Speaker 24 (37:05):
For years.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I was met on She used to go out from
Carlo karabaita fish and the whole Eccre Gulf. I'veter seen
the movie. They're seized off for a couple of summers,
not because I was nervous, but also my boyfriend and
his three brothers. The dad music is embedded my memory
even now I go for a paddle. There are really
scary moments and at tension throughout the movie. Beatty gives
you a breather, relentless terror and unforgettable. He also did

(37:30):
Peter Benchley, the author also did The Deep, which was
quite a good film. But I saw that one that
was all sort of about black magic and stuff. I
think in the Caribbean. Pretty good film actually, The Deep.

(37:50):
I don't know if Spielboo did that, but it was
eventually written one Marcus im in Beard listening and every
time they mentioned Sharp from Jaws, I visualized it and said,
jumping out to get me Lowell now after to get
up and have a coffee. Well, coffee is the last
thing you need, Marcus. The most chilling part of Jaws
is Quince's monologue about the sinking of the US is

(38:13):
Indianapolis when they were torpedo in World War Two. Sharks
talk about thrown and sailors over a few days as
they waited for rescue. Quince's monologue terrifying, Marcus. If you
watched Jaws backwards, it's actually beautiful stew about a shark
that cruises the world oceanslating limbs to those in need.

(38:33):
See Dan thought that was funny, Marcus. We just spoke,
but you mentioned the movie duelas totally drawn to that
movie on the edge of my seat, whilst my friend
who sat beside me was bull witness. Never realized it
was a Spielberg movie, Jewels, I'd like to see it

(39:01):
in the theater. Actually, I reckockon. They should be putting
on a fifty year anniversary for those that haven't seen it,
including myself. Wasn't it biggest city? I'd organized something? I
suppose I still could, but I think the days of
radio station is organizing movie screenings is probably a thing
of the past. Praise the Lord, get in touch of

(39:25):
your to talkethel twelve. It's all about Jaws. Dirdent dernent,
dird it eight hundred and eighty to nine nine two
text just back to the New World Fire at Victoria Park.
A text has texted through and this is the point
I thought of. They said they're suspicious that the New
World Fire could well have been started by their red

(39:47):
Hot specials. Quite good. Ah, so there we go. That's
that one sorted. Marcus. I was nine. My parents took
the family to Sea Jaws at the King's Theatre in Wellington,
probably January seventy six. Have not been back in the
ocean since. You think it was a very It was

(40:08):
a very quiet summer that summer in America. I think
on the beaches, everything in the ocean wants to either
live inside you or itch you. As a child growing
up in the eighties near Martha's Vineyard, the movie definitely
felt all too real, terrifying. We're talking Jaws. I want
to know all about it from your point of viewer

(40:30):
experience of seeing it. How terrified you were, were you were,
the name of the theater, what you had at halftime,
because of course, once upon a time we did have
half time at movies. A very good thing it was too.

Speaker 9 (40:44):
Was it a movie?

Speaker 25 (40:44):
The other day?

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Tiana had a half time and I thought that was
quite good. So, yes, it's all about Jaws tonight. So
let's be hearing your take on this one. Eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two to text.
Loving the calls, love a bit of movie nostalgia. Also
fifty years ago. I don't know when it came out,

(41:06):
and you see them, that's not important. Tonight's the night
we talk about it, and I'll be watching it on
TV on Sunday. Be a good wine down from Matariki.
Can't wait with commercial breaks? Even better? You do so
much during the breaks. Gosh, what can I do now?
Get the house cleaning done? Come on, Jaws, Jaws, Jaws,

(41:32):
anything you want to talk about as far because it
seems like a lot of you've got on information from
it too. You might be one of those PEO want
to convince to commit to. Have never seen it? Like
that pussy lush? Oh like you have you seen it?

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:46):
You people love that, don't they? Six victims in the movie,
including a dog, not that i'd know. After seeing Jaws
at the Savory in christ Church, I wanted a bigger boat,
Mike Chopper. Someone's texted to intermission and I use the

(42:08):
wrong word, so I apologize, so I say interval. Kind
of think why that's sen through that?

Speaker 7 (42:14):
Come on?

Speaker 8 (42:16):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
According to Fire and Emergency Senior Manager Senior Officer Mike Neville,
the fire Victoria Park has been extinguished and five fighters
will remain there of have an ideal with any hot
spots and ensure the perimeter of the side of secure.
Nine crews sell at the site. This will reduced to five.
They expect to hand the building back to the property
owners in the morning. It's too soon to have an

(42:40):
information about the fire investigation. No word on the Red
Hot Specials getting touched. Marcus till twelve, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty all about the Jaws, the movie I
haven't seen, and unlike some of the movies, I haven't

(43:04):
seen this one. I am going to see Scouts on
her fifty years on. I don't quite know when they're
what they're doing in America. For it that we're doing something,
no doubt. I think Trump will be a big fan
of Joe. It's June twentieth, so we're quite timely for
this last year Quentin Tarantino called Steven Spielberg's film possibly

(43:31):
the greatest movie ever made. He was quick to wear
it isn't the best film in terms of script, cinematography,
are acting, but he was convinced of overall quality as
a movie remains unmatched.

Speaker 11 (43:46):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Just that, and of course they had Golden It didn't
get the Oscar for Bex's picture. That got that was
One Fly Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which I have seen.
But America is full of kind of articles and stuff
talk about the fifty years on, so come on, that's
what we are talking about tonight, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine too known to detext YEP. So the

(44:12):
novel came out in seventy four, of the movie within
seventy five. Pretty hard movie to make too a lot
of time they'd be in the water and Spielberg had
had some success with Duel and the Sugarland Express, but

(44:39):
the mechanical Shark was a disaster. Someone said, one of
the same effects now as the special effects are ancient. Well, well,
the probably thing is the good thing is there aren't
that many special effects because the Shark didn't work. Good
evening Jansips Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (45:00):
Oh hi, I'm just sitting here. I'm reading something interesting. Anyhow,
Jaws is on at twelve fifteen on Monday during the
twenty third, and that's in the TV week that's in there.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Start okay, Now, I think that might be on Bravo,
was it? Because it's on yes, Bravo. I think it's
also on the Monday on the Sunday night, so that's
a repeat. So that's good to know.

Speaker 18 (45:28):
I haven't seen it, but I've looked for Saturday. Was
it Saturday night?

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Sunday?

Speaker 18 (45:34):
The lady? Oh Sunday? Okay?

Speaker 12 (45:43):

Speaker 2 (45:45):
She still get the TV guide, Jennie, Well, it comes

Is it the Press?

Speaker 18 (45:54):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
And christ Church for next week.

Speaker 18 (45:59):
The Sunday, the twenty second.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
And Monday, so it's all next week's TV.

Speaker 11 (46:04):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Are you planning to girl? Are you planning to watch it? Janus, Well,
you seen it already?

Speaker 18 (46:10):
Oh whoa.

Speaker 10 (46:11):
I watched it.

Speaker 18 (46:11):
I was twenty two. It was a bit scary, but
I need to rewatch it because I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Man, was that when you were twenty two? Was that
fifty years ago?

Speaker 14 (46:24):
Here look him.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Okay, Well we conveen on Monday and discuss it. Jedous,
thank you for that. Thirteen past nine. We're talking about
Jaws eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and your memories
of it or your experiences of seeing that, and how
terrified one was. Keep the text coming through two people
nine two nine two to text. Good response so far,

(46:47):
Keep it going. The music score from John Williams absolutely
amplified the suspense. Brilliant two notes and everyone knows the
film Eliza. Thank you, Marcus. We used to stand up
for God save the Queen before every movie. Cheers, fils goodness.

(47:13):
Eighteen past nineteen and it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 18 (47:17):
Oh hi Marcus.

Speaker 26 (47:18):
We live up the road actually not too far from
the fire this afternoon and quite shocked in appalled because
this is the second major fire that we've had. From
our home on the second level, we could see the
sky City Convention when it burned for three nights straight

(47:41):
after a I think a welder left a guest torch
ignited and the whole bitchermen on the or the waterproofing
just went up in flames and it burned like a
distant fire and we could see that from our window
and it was scary. And today has been exactly the same.

(48:04):
They have recently opened up the area and I've actually
actually shop at the New World and quite shocked that
this has happened. I know they were doing a redevelopment
in the car park.

Speaker 22 (48:15):
I just don't know what it was.

Speaker 26 (48:18):
Yeah, so it has the news come out about what
exactly started the fire or someone did.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Say they thought it might be the red Hot specials.
But I think they are being humorous. But you're probably
not the mood for that.

Speaker 26 (48:33):
No, absolutely not, not when you're stret back it's shut
down areas actually almost.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Shannon, tell me a bit, a little bit about your anger.
Who's it towards?

Speaker 15 (48:46):
I know it.

Speaker 26 (48:49):
I feel sadness over the loss of quite a building
that was being rebuilt. I don't know what they were
doing on the ground floor, but you know, it's already
so congested through the inner city there, and then to
have these awful fires and the liability the past just

(49:10):
over small eras it frustrates.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Me because another fire to take a long time to
put out that three day one didn't it?

Speaker 16 (49:18):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (49:19):
Absolutely, And it's just frightening when you all. I can
see up our window because we've got a second level,
and all you can see is the spire in your
in your window frame, and that's frightening.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
She had a nice to talk. Thank you. Twenty past nine, Maxing,
it's Marcus. Good evening. Oh Maxine, that's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 10 (49:41):
Ah, hello, Marcus. I'm suffering you cold at the moment.
I hope I'm quite audible.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
You are, ding, Oh, thank you.

Speaker 10 (49:50):
I do want to share my experience of.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
The Jewels movie.

Speaker 17 (49:55):
Yes, fantastic.

Speaker 10 (49:58):
And you haven't seen it yet.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
No, No, I'm going to see it on Sunday and
I'm going to become a Jewels boar. Yes, oh, very
very good.

Speaker 5 (50:06):
I saw it.

Speaker 10 (50:08):
Goodness me, I must have been was when it first
came out and my brother and I were shipped off
on the bus to get out of our mother's here
and we would take ourselves off to the Century Picture
Theater Indonedan and here was this Jaws movie.

Speaker 16 (50:29):
It was brilliant.

Speaker 10 (50:31):
It had all thoughts in it, It had wonderful family dynamics,
it had caring of the community. You were really going
to enjoy it, and there were certain aspects of it
where you basically.

Speaker 9 (50:47):
Screamed, and I agree.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Where were you?

Speaker 10 (50:52):
Where were you?

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Where were you? Bust from?

Speaker 10 (50:58):
I was brought up indonnedan.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Okay, but yeah, okay, but you will okay. So you
caught the bus from home to the city to watch it?
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Yes, that's right.

Speaker 10 (51:07):
Yeah, to basically get out of mother's here.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
You know, it was fifty years ago today or in
two days. Do you know how old you would have been?

Speaker 7 (51:16):
What have you been?

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Six or seven? Nine? Well, it's quite young to see it.

Speaker 10 (51:22):
Yes, it was, but a very very good movie. I
sent the neighbor across the road from our spirit glamorous
woman was reading the book because it was like a summer.

Speaker 5 (51:41):
The book to read, you know.

Speaker 17 (51:44):
And I remember viewing the.

Speaker 10 (51:48):
Cover of the book of Jaws coming up underneath.

Speaker 8 (51:54):
The south board.

Speaker 10 (51:55):
It was brilliant shot. And I know, I suppose we
must go to the theater. Mum, we must go to
the theater. Take money, go, get out of my hair.

Speaker 27 (52:07):
Wow, And off we went.

Speaker 10 (52:11):
To this movie, very very good movie. And the funny
thing is, for months I wouldn't even slash the toilet.
I was too frightened the chores would.

Speaker 27 (52:26):
Come up through the bottom.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Goodness so fast. That was, you know, interesting, very interesting, Maxing,
thank you for that. Twenty three past nine, we are
talking Jaws and every iteration about that fifty years ago.
It was on the June twenty it was released, and
I think one hundred and fifty theaters across America. I
imagine it would be somewhat later in New Zia. It

(52:50):
might be three or four months later. Marcus. I watched
Jaws the eighties of my parents' lounge was seven to eight.
I still remember going to the toilet the ends and
not being able to sit down, freaking out. The shark
would cover the toilet, toying calls when I go. Even
the old one foot pedling bull in the backyard was
out of bounds. Had to rewatch years later to get over.
It wasn't so scary then. So if New World Freeman's

(53:19):
Bays are right off, where's the nearest New World and
walking distance? Isn't there a new world in herne Bay? Marcus.
I was listening to a podcast the other day on
music and they are saying the two notes and the
Jaws music are a semitone, a part which in music
is known to create suspense, regardless of where on the

(53:40):
instrument you play them, Marcus Taring infern I came out
at the same time as Jaws. That was a scary
fire movie. Well, I enjoyed Towering Inferno much Ley, I
wasn't too scared for that anyway. Good evening, Jason, welcome.

(54:04):
It's Marcus, sir.

Speaker 10 (54:06):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Thank you?

Speaker 28 (54:09):
And the Jaws movie from a cinematography point of view,
was quite roundbreaking, the way they did the course up shots,
you know how the cand of zoom men. That's the
first time that technique was ever used in mainstream cinema,
and it's still like used a lot in my horror
movies and stuff the family.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Yeah, so it's quite groundbreaking, it seems.

Speaker 28 (54:35):
Yeah, yeah, just I just like, yeah, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Appreciate that. Jason, Thank you. Twenty six past nine catches
soon see your text through two people or your emails.
Marcus at Newstalk zb dot co dot m Z. Marcus

(54:59):
loved Jewels not on you him personally. As my birthday
and Monday, I'm planning to see the new zombie movie
twenty eight years later. Looks good. Oh the movie called
twenty years I haven't heard of that. I think I said,
zombie movie. I never heard of it. Oh yeah, okay,

(55:20):
the third film in the twenty eight Days Later franchise.
It's three decades since the Rage virus escaped of Biological
Weapons laboratory 's a documentary. Denny boyle upcoming post apocalyptic
horror film sounds cheery, doesn't it? Get in touch? Keep

(55:43):
those texts coming through. Two People eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine two nine two to text. The
Italian Fair is not quite the same, is it? Marcus?
I was a teenage judger working on after school hol
job the Octagon Theater indneven when Jaws came out. We
had to stay in the theater in those days and
weren't allowed to leave to the film as over. I

(56:03):
was petrified when Jaws came out of the water and attacked,
and I couldn't look at the screen. Well, I think
of the ashes must be terrifying for them stuck there
watching it time after time. Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty All your stories duels related. For those haven't
watched it. We had watched on Sunday on Bravo with ads.

(56:28):
Did like it intimitional. Every ten minutes I.

Speaker 29 (56:31):
Saw Jaws when I was sort of fairly young and
at the Saint James Theater in Auckland. I think it
was I was in the balcony. I just fell off
when Jaws the guy's ladling chum off the back of
the boat and the shark comes up right behind him.
I got such a friday. It just about fell off
the balcony.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Were you too young? It was about right for you, Tony.

Speaker 29 (56:48):
I think most of it was that was not that scary,
but there were just a few kind of explosive, unexpected
moments that kind of made the whole film, and it
was it was pretty impressive for such a low tech era.
But then they spoiled it a bit later by showing
us the sort of gas canister that drove the shark
and kind of ruined the whole thing because it was great.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
And of course when you would have seen that, there
were no sportler alerts because people wouldn't get on the
day and say, oh, you got to watch out for this, fright.
I mean, it was all you didn't know what was
going to happen.

Speaker 29 (57:14):
No, exactly, no, if you hadn't hadn't spoken to anyone
else who saw it. I think I saw it quite
early on in it's run, and yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Because it was quite this seemed to be I don't
even know how you did hype in those days, but
it was quite hype, wasn't it. There was a there
was a frenzy for I don't even know how you
did that.

Speaker 29 (57:29):
Yeah, I think it was on the back of the
because it was on the back of the book as well,
which had come out. And of course, you know, there's
no decent Hollywood film that doesn't have a book.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Yeah, but yeah, it was.

Speaker 29 (57:38):
It was a pretty It was a pretty big issue,
a pretty big sort of thing. And I guess movies
were hyped a little bit more in those days than
they are now, with the posters and the launchers and
that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Okay, good on, you tell you thank it to ten.
My name is Marcus. Welcome eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
We are talking Jaws. When did you see it? Marcus?
The presided VEGISEI two was the first part of the
three scary ones for me. The town in Funty, then
Jaws scarred me for life. Yes, I saw the Beside,
then I saw the Infernover. Didn't go to Jaws. Don't
know why just tapped out, didn't really appeal, didn't really

(58:19):
appeal to me. No surprises there. But I'm gonna watch
it on Sunday. I can't wait, and n should report back.
It's gonna be hard for me seeing it fifty years
later because I can't have all those conversations. I can't say, oh,
I just saw this amazing movie. You might have heard

(58:40):
of it, anything else you want to mention, good for
your free cume through as far as special days, today
it is apple strude all day. Out of all the
desserts I've made, I think apple Strudle's probably one of
them more enjoyable to make. In order to talk about

(59:02):
the most delicious asert, but the one that's the most
fun to make. We won't talk enough about what's fun
to cook always quite like, what's that plum thing I made?
Love making? That French name? Anyway that'll come to me?
Enjoy baking? Yeah, twenty three away from ten, Alex, it's

(59:23):
Marcus welcome?

Speaker 17 (59:25):
Is that Marcus?

Speaker 24 (59:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Alex welcome?

Speaker 30 (59:28):
Yeah, thank you Marcus.

Speaker 17 (59:29):
On about nineteen seventy nine, my wife and I were
doing a tour through I'm pretty sure it was Paramount
and we were open, followed with many other people and
we're quiet. They're going through all the studios, and one
round we came to this corner and suddenly this massive
shark came out. At this this massive shark came right.

(59:51):
You've never heard so much screaming in your life. It
was it just stopped short.

Speaker 16 (59:58):
Boy.

Speaker 17 (59:59):
It was so real that it was pretty scary.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
It was it was it the same one from the movie.
Was Is that what it was?

Speaker 17 (01:00:08):
Well, I don't would that be Paramount was made that
film Paramount?

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Yeah, I don't know too much about the studio tours,
but I guess it probably would have been.

Speaker 17 (01:00:16):
Yeah, Oh, you never heard so much screen of your life.
I'm beating myself and I believe it or that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Thank you, Alex, Chris, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 31 (01:00:28):
Oh yes, hi Marcus. It's Chriss speaking. For years and
years and years after seeing Jaws, I could never ever
swim in the sea. And my husband was a fisherman
and we were living at the beach, but all I
could even do was pedal in the waves. And now
I've tune seventy one and I've just moved to a beach.

(01:00:53):
I never even think about Jewels, I swim in the
sea in summertime.

Speaker 10 (01:00:57):
And yeah, but no, it left.

Speaker 32 (01:01:00):
It left a long term.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Oh yeah, you wonder why you're really, Chris. You wonder
why you went to see it. You must have known
you'd be prone to getting terrified of it.

Speaker 31 (01:01:12):
No, this was way back when it first came out.

Speaker 15 (01:01:14):
Nobody had seen it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Oh so you didn't think it was going to be
as bad as it was?

Speaker 31 (01:01:19):
No, nowhere it.

Speaker 15 (01:01:21):
Was nowhere near.

Speaker 32 (01:01:23):
I knew that it was.

Speaker 10 (01:01:24):
It was about a shark.

Speaker 31 (01:01:25):
But you, like other people are saying, when it rows
up out of the water, everybody in the theater just screamed.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Did it fect your husband?

Speaker 7 (01:01:35):
No?

Speaker 31 (01:01:36):
He thought I was being stupid, He said, for heaven's sake,
you know, it's only a movie. I said, I know,
but I can't get there music out of my head.
It isn't it funny? Now I've moved and I live
right beside the sea. In fact, it's right outside my house,
and I don't even think about it, not to.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Hear from Christin and what that indicates. Marcus call it
and upper Hut the last night currently two degrees hitting downwards.
Jim mcgrandad Jim for one one who know that we've
turned the heater on in the garage for the cat. Marcus.
My girlfriend I saw Jaws as sixteen year old, didn't
find it scary and all. It was so ott clock

(01:02:22):
with orange seventy do it spooks me to this day, Chris.
We're talking Jaws, though not the other films. If you
want to come through and talk about that people, it's
fifty years It was released on Thursday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday,
Mataliki is the day. That was the day it was

(01:02:43):
released to the States, So we're on topic. We're three
days ahead. Marcus. I went to stay at my elder
brother and sister in lawa are so scared, went home
and didn't slept. Check the bath Worice movie I've seen,
probably fifty years ago was The Exaucist. We are talking
Jaws eight time. And there's a new Shark movie too,

(01:03:05):
about a guy foreading live victims to sharks. Sounds terrible,
so a sick purse would go see that. I'm getting
touch at nineteen to ten. If you want to be
a part of it, here till midnight, oh eight hundred
and eighty ten, eighty good evening. Kimmit's Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:03:23):
Welcome, are you I'm just driving home?

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Yes, draws terrified me.

Speaker 24 (01:03:32):
I don't like going in the water over my knees,
but I love going to the beach. But what actually
does terrify me? As have you seen the David Edinburgh
doco with.

Speaker 15 (01:03:46):
Get the Seals?

Speaker 22 (01:03:48):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
Are you just cut out there a bit? Tell me more?

Speaker 24 (01:03:51):
Oh, oh, the David Edinburgh with the killer whales and
the beach and they come up onto the shore and
grab the seal.

Speaker 15 (01:03:58):
So now I'm afraid.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Yeah, that's amazing, isn't it.

Speaker 15 (01:04:05):
Yes, that is.

Speaker 21 (01:04:08):
That year Jaws.

Speaker 24 (01:04:09):
I mean I loved I loved it being by the beach, but.

Speaker 19 (01:04:12):
I hate going in the water.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Do you regret seeing the movie?

Speaker 24 (01:04:18):
No, because I've watched it probably a dull a dozen
times since. Still, but my poor children, like you know,
the adults now that's growing up, like my younger sister
seem and to this day, you know, she's not allowed
and over a waist.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
You know, I'm kind of amazed that the whole movie
has just passed me by all those years that you know,
the originally I didn't step. I've never come across and
as some sort of all night session or anything. It
kind of surprised that it's passed me by. But anyway,
I'm going to remedy that.

Speaker 24 (01:04:49):
Yeah, but the look out for the dayvid es for
a one that's here.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
I can't believe that they do that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
Yeah, I'll keep an eye on that one. I thought
you had about this. It's got a new Ocean documentary
out too. It's amazing he's still alive, isn't it. Mind
you are, Dick, Dick van dok must be just to
be about one hundred. I felt slightly bad telling Shannon
what caused the fires at New World. She didn't seem
in the mood for laugh at all, did she. That
was a miss That was a misstep. You do wonder

(01:05:21):
about people that ring up and are furious about fires.
I mean, where's your fury at that? These just happened,
don't they. I kind of always thought that she was
angry about how long the fires had gone on for.
Oh well, I remember going to watch Jewels and Timid
who I jumped at one scene and my contact lens
fell out. After the movie, the boys wanted to go

(01:05:43):
to the Caroline Bay Us girls were too scared. As
far as Jaws goes, I wouldn't get my neighbors paraple
in the dark Marcus. Back in the eighties when I
was in primary school, it was quite scared. I think
it was the simplicity of the times, the lek of

(01:06:03):
technology and all that stuff, as the young ones having
a repaced, fast paced life. I'm not talking you about
Jewels that, Marcus. I grew up in an outer suburb
of Melbourne. Jaws was the first movie I was allowed
to see without my parents bracket strange choice. My friend

(01:06:25):
and I were eleven years old and caught the train
then tram. Mum made me learn the grid pattern of
the CBD streets so i'd know when to get off
the tram at Russell Street. The movie was terrifying, but
we loved it. The entire audience reeled back in their
seats and screamed when Jewels came out of the water.
It didn't stop us swimming that summer. Carolyn, and of

(01:06:48):
course too. The Aussies have very special relationship with sharks,
don't they. I imagine there's probably more people get eaten
by sharks Australian anywhere. It's pretty much I love hate thing,
there isn't it. They love the sea but they don't
love the sharks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Streaming live on iHeartRadio, This is Marcus, says Call eight.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
On Youth Talks' good evening, Sandy, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 33 (01:07:14):
Thank you Marcus. Hope you're having a wonderful evening.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
Yeah, good evening.

Speaker 8 (01:07:20):
Good.

Speaker 33 (01:07:21):
Let me tell you a few things about my experience
with not only Jaws, but also great white sharks. So,
my husband is an avid Jaws fan and I probably
have watched the movie over about fifty times. Wow, And
there are certain parts of the movie that still makes
me jump even though I've seen it so many times. However,

(01:07:44):
with my husband being such an avid shark fan, we've
done a number of shark dive trips around the Neptune
Islands in South Australia and also Stewie Island down there
BYU So we've had a lot of experience with great
white sharks and been out with Rodney Fox, who was

(01:08:09):
attacked by a great white shark back in the seventies.
And there's a really good story about him on the
internet if you ever want to read it. But he's
got a big research vessel. He takes trips out to
the Neptune Islands, the South and the North Neptune Islands.
He's a bottom diving cage where you can jump in

(01:08:31):
and get down to the bottom of the ocean out there,
and you can actually watch these beautiful sharks swimming from
the top of the surface of the ocean down to
the bottom. And they are the most graceful looking animals
in the water when you see them.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Was it the Jaws movie that got your husband into sharks?

Speaker 33 (01:08:54):
Yes, he watched it when he was seven. Wow, had
the little T shirt to wear and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Did you do the cage diving in Fobo Straits?

Speaker 6 (01:09:03):
That what you did?

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
Yes, we went out with Mike and you saw.

Speaker 33 (01:09:08):
Them, Yes, the sharks, and straight there they are, or
actually out towards Stewey Island. They are the most aggressive
sharks I think that I've seen around the top cage.
They are a little bit more boisterous, let's say, when

(01:09:31):
they go to comeing towards the cage. That it's generally
the smaller male sharks that, let's say, arc up a
little bit more. But we were out one day with
another dive company and we'd run out of throw baits
and we threw out a yellow piece of boogie board

(01:09:58):
right off the back of the boat, and I've got
a fantastic photo of just after the shark had taken
the booby board and left a beautiful circle in the
middle of the water. But yeah, no, and they are
amazing creatures. They're not really very interested in us as such,

(01:10:20):
but yeah, they're an amazing creature. I could highly recommend
anybody that has a passion for any form of sharks
to get in touch with the Ruddy Fox Shark Expeditions
out of Australia. It's well worth it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
What's your next trip planned for.

Speaker 33 (01:10:40):
Are probably, I would say it back to Adelaide to
go out again out there?

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
Goodness m And that's just the Nptrid Islands that just
south of Adelaide. Is that where they are?

Speaker 33 (01:10:55):
They're about forty five I think it's about forty five
nautical biles of the coast of South Australia here.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
And what's the set up? What happen in that one? Okay?

Speaker 33 (01:11:08):
So you go out and you fly from Adelaide up
to Port Lincoln where you join the boat the Princess
the Princess too and you spend either four or five
nights on the boat out at the Neptune islands and

(01:11:28):
the shark diving.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
In a cage.

Speaker 10 (01:11:34):
In a cage.

Speaker 33 (01:11:34):
Definitely in a cage.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
And did you say the cage goes to the ocean floor?
Did you say that?

Speaker 33 (01:11:40):
Yep, they have got the only ocean floor diving set
up in this part of the world. I'm not sure
whether or not they do it in South Africa anymore.
You know that orcas kill great whites, right, yep. Yeah,
so most of the big great white sharks in South

(01:12:00):
Africa have been evacuated by orcas, so they have disappeared.

Speaker 2 (01:12:07):
I think they also did. They also did shark diving
in Ekapolko, but someone got eaten I think, and they
stopped that.

Speaker 32 (01:12:13):
Ah.

Speaker 33 (01:12:15):
Yeah, there's Guadaloupe.

Speaker 22 (01:12:19):
Yep.

Speaker 33 (01:12:19):
They do quite a lot of shark week filming over
in Guadaloupe. See it, it's been cut right back.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
Well, there we go. Okay, standy, thank you, six away
from ten. My name's Marcus Wilk. If you want a text,
see you a lot. There we go, husband, well into sharks.
Eh goodness, anyone called it Stewie Island, But there we go.
Never Marcus, I'm on the boys trip the Caple going
out to the Ranfredy Bank at father m to hunt

(01:12:51):
for bluefin tuna. My mates are all snoring, so I'm
listening to your show. We may see some sharks out there.
Jaws movie is great. A trial for bikes on Auckland

(01:13:13):
buses seriously on the trains year good, but buses. Why
bloody dogs now bloody bikes. I think the whole point
of that is because you can't bike over the Harbor Bridge,
So it makes the whole cycling in the city kind
of null and void because you can't get where you
want to get because you can't go on the Harbor Bridge,
which is crazy that they never worked out for that.
Thanks Darren for that too. Yes, I was thinking about that.

(01:13:36):
What a disgrace feeding a polysterring bugging board to a
great white. They need their concession canceled. I didn't want
to say anything, but I thought that sounded to me
to be extraordinarily stupid. And what for for kicks really stupis? Oh, well,

(01:14:03):
each to their own. I guess the fact that you
were so free with the story she saw nothing wrong
with doing it. But yeah, thanks Murray Terriot's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 23 (01:14:16):
Yeah, hi Marcus. Yeah, I think Stephen Stielder was a
bit put out because he wasn't not expected to be
nominated in the director's category, but he wasn't so and
it was up against like you say, one two over
the Cookoo's Nest, but burn a field two of the editor.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
She won.

Speaker 15 (01:14:41):
And he never employed her again, so he probably little
bit out of spite. No, no, wow, she never worked
again for him.

Speaker 5 (01:14:51):
Side.

Speaker 23 (01:14:51):
I don't know she but she won, yeah, for editing.
But I got a real shock. Robert Shaw, who played
quint he died only three years later. I've got a
really real shock when he does, because it.

Speaker 6 (01:15:06):
Wasn't that old.

Speaker 23 (01:15:08):
And his son Ian does a play called The Shark
Is Broken. He plays his father in this stage play,
which is I think it's been one of Edinburgh Fringe
Award and he plays his father and our actives play
Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfus parts. So Richard Dreyfus is

(01:15:30):
the only one who's still living of the three.

Speaker 15 (01:15:33):
But it was a brilliant movie. It stands a test
of time, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:15:37):
So could just.

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Explain to me Terry. For those of us are not
familiar with I presume Richard Drayfus is the boat's captain
and nal kind of a seaman, that's correct. But what's
Quentin's role?

Speaker 23 (01:15:48):
Hooper? Yeah, Quinn he is he had the the boat
that that that went out to catch the shark.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
So so what was Drafus's role then, Hooper, Yeah, explain
what the role was.

Speaker 15 (01:16:02):
He was, you know, the oceanographer okay, and sharks yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Okay, he's a shark expert. Okay. The other one was
the skipper. That makes sense, yep, yep.

Speaker 23 (01:16:12):
So but they all played their parts really well, and
I think that was part of the success, you know.
And Ray Shaded went made Jaws too, but the others
stayed away from the sequels, you know, but I think, yeah,
I thought, I mean, yeah, it was a scary movie,

(01:16:33):
you know.

Speaker 15 (01:16:34):
So, and it was brilliant. The script was good.

Speaker 23 (01:16:37):
And the Benchley, the guy who wrote the book, he
was had the easy played the guy on the stand
who was played a reporter. He was dressed in a
suit on the beach when he was So that was
Peter Benchley. He just had a scene in that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Yeah, did you see Terry? Were you Truman? Did you
see it? As a child?

Speaker 23 (01:17:04):
Fifteen years get to the beach and deaf and port
Ye have a friend when in the water thought, oh
my god, maybe this's just year this sort of put
the TV GBS into it. But you know, it's it's
pretty I mean, that's the power of movie making.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm looking for I mean looking
more and more forward to seeing it. Terry, so thank you,
and for those that don't know, it's not a film
I've seen, but not through any reason apart from I
didn't really want to see it as a child and
haven't cover across as an adult, which is surprising. It's
one of those movies you can always you know, you
almost said that you've seen so many scenes of it.

(01:17:42):
I can actually, you know, I'm looking forward to how
it all gets strung together. Actually, we are celebrating our
fiftieth Like Jaws nineteen seventy five, the boys are still
storing in the bunk room. Jaws will be so dated
and corny. Now, well, I think the script and the

(01:18:03):
acting is pretty good. However, I'm of the opinion no
Shark movie documentary should be shot on TV within three
months before summer. It ruins my ocean swimming and snorkeling regards. Owen.
Of course, you could choose not to watch it. My
late mum always told us how it was Jaws that
scared her away from the ocean. Only found out when

(01:18:24):
the school trip to Kelly Toalmes ended in her having
a panic attack as the parent help. Oh yeah, not
good for the parent. Help. I get in touch if
you want to talk. It's eighteen past ten. Welcome on him,
as Marcus. It's the movie Jaws, fifty years ago this

(01:18:44):
week in the States.

Speaker 30 (01:18:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
It's just going to tell you.

Speaker 34 (01:18:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
Someone said all the smeg stickers it knew, well, possibly
would have burned. That's right. That could affect the smell giveaway,
couldn't it. We're trying to find out the Jaws screening
date New Zealand. Someone will know. I'll tell you what

(01:19:12):
doesn't know. That's chet GPT New Zealand. I said it
was October seventh of the ninth. Oh that's twenty twenty, stupid.
So I'm looking out when it was released. Well, there

(01:19:34):
we go, the Gavette Brewsters having a fiftieth anniversary screening.
Good on them, they're sensible. I will keep looking, Michelle.
It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 32 (01:19:44):
I guess I was almost ten.

Speaker 25 (01:19:47):
I think when Mum and dad took me to Jaws.
I don't really remember the movie, to be honest. I
know I liked it and I probably jumped when the
shark came out of the water. But the notable thing
was we went to the Saint James on Queen Street
and Auckland, and I think it was the season. Immediately
for us, a man dropped out of a heart attack.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Wow, that's exciting, you know.

Speaker 25 (01:20:12):
I think we read about it or heard it on
the news the next day, and I think, like everyone
a little bit after that, I didn't really want to
go through it at the beach, but the thing was
to always make sure you were the last one out,
so if there was a shock, someone else would get
eaten first.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
I imagine it would call into question your parents judgment
for taking a ten year old to the movie. But
that was just then, was it.

Speaker 32 (01:20:37):
But yeah, no, it wasn't.

Speaker 10 (01:20:39):
We didn't.

Speaker 25 (01:20:40):
There was no great discussion of oh look you're too young,
Togo or anything so and I wasn't disturbed by it,
or I wasn't a sort of child who was, you know,
like timid. I think if you were, you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Were you like a movie going family, you'd often go
to movies as a family. Yes, okay, yeah, Well.

Speaker 25 (01:21:04):
Years later as an adult, I remember going down to
the Beats at Brown's Faith and I decided to go
for a swim at night, and I'd parked my car
on the boat ramp with the lights going out, and
I can remember going out there thinking, Oh, this is
just too freaky.

Speaker 35 (01:21:15):
It's just completely black.

Speaker 25 (01:21:16):
I can't see anything behind me, And I think I
stayed in for all of about five minutes and then
dumped out again.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
Yeah, having not seen the movie, I presume there was
some shark attacks some people knowned swimming at night?

Speaker 11 (01:21:27):
Is that right?

Speaker 32 (01:21:30):
I only remember the daytime attacks.

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
Okay, but yeah, nighttime is classic. How did you know
someone had died in the screening before? Were there ambulances
the stuff there or was it just everyone talking about that?

Speaker 22 (01:21:44):
No, we heard it on the news.

Speaker 8 (01:21:46):
Wow.

Speaker 25 (01:21:46):
So when we got there, and that was in the
days when you know you'd have there was a two
o'clock seasion, a five o'clock session, and at eight o'clock,
and so I'm pretty sure it was the session immediately
before us, and so I don't know if it had
happened early in the movie, but there were no signs
of ambulances or anything.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
Yeah, okay, it's an interesting point. It was always the
movies eleven two five, and what did they change that?
Now all the show I enjoyed the regularity of that,
go to a five o'clock catch at eight o'clock. Goodness,
it's all become sor But ho hum, movies these days,
has it? Although I know the kids have gone plenty

(01:22:23):
of movies they haven't bothered going to because they's just
kind of not been myice. What was the last one
they went to? Lilo and Stitch was something before that.
I can't remember. He might have been Minecraft, by the way.
Watched the Robot one the other day on TV. Thought
that was quite good with the robot on the island.
The animation, well, that's quite fun. I sort of we'd

(01:22:46):
read the book, and the book took a bit of
getting into. Actually I knew there was something to it.
But the movie is good. I think it might be
called Iro, but I'm not entirely sure. Something like that.
Just have watched on TV. Watched it with the kids
the other day. Sort of animated movie, but quite different text.
If you've got them, it's all about Jaws. Evening Ben

(01:23:08):
this is Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:23:09):
Welcome, hey, market towns and hangs and all right, good
have you been? Everybody a laugh when you're talking about Jaws?
I think I've got that last. I was about ten
years old and we took the family Carl who was
a dats in two sixty c from them the Tago
back up to the Naden and and we went and

(01:23:32):
went watch a show. It was called the Food Tube.
It was the family Show. We got there and there
was some bloody walk around the stage pop withs. I remember.
The old man just grabbed me, so you can't be
watching that, and he dragged me out, and we've done
and picked a teather down the road and we walked
in and it was a it was a movie called Jaws.
I was ten years old.

Speaker 6 (01:23:51):
We walked straight in there.

Speaker 22 (01:23:52):
And yeah, I've never looked the water ever since. The
same a Markers freak you out? Yeah did it?

Speaker 6 (01:24:00):
She did?

Speaker 22 (01:24:02):
And it was like that. I didn't move the Damien.
I think it was about twelve. I did in when
I watched it. Remember the triple sixth boy year whatever
it was, Damiens.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
What was the stage show your parents took you too?

Speaker 22 (01:24:15):
It was it was called the boob tube.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
The boob tube.

Speaker 22 (01:24:20):
Yeah, it was some sort of I don't know. It
was in't the Need, and it was like a production play.
And right at the start we all sitting there and
that because I had three sisters and one brother and
mom and dad, We're all sitting there. And next it starts,
and the light go down and it's part here and
it's gone, and this lady just starts worn across the

(01:24:41):
across the stage, pop goodness.

Speaker 6 (01:24:44):
And I remember thinking, oh, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Know what was called the boom tube. You wonder what
your parents were expecting.

Speaker 22 (01:24:51):
Well it was it was the paper. Apparently it is
meant to be, like, I don't know, some sort of play,
and yeah, it turned out to be a web bit risque.

Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
Have you eats your fear of the water been diluted
over time?

Speaker 22 (01:25:07):
Well, no, I remember going across my brother LAWI used
to live on Durgle Island and we went across from
a little rowboat or a clinker as they call it.
He used to go back and forth from school from
from Durgal Island to the mainland, just right at French
Pass on the north side of it. He knew where
the where the coach through the general stick because he's
will force and all sorts. We're going through the little clinker.

(01:25:29):
One day he was rolling and I just sit on
the back of it, and this Barco shark went past it.
It was probably about three times as file as after
the fin was. I was sitting down.

Speaker 6 (01:25:38):
The sin was buller than.

Speaker 22 (01:25:39):
Me, and I was just like, let's go, mate, let's go,
Let's get the.

Speaker 5 (01:25:44):
Heck out of here.

Speaker 22 (01:25:44):
All right, this is not cool, but yeah, yeah, that's
I remember that Marco looking it was one passed. He
looked at me with his eye, he was looking up.
He just swim past, and I was like, oh, this
is not cool, but yeah, chores when you're young like that,
that was just yeah, you're absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
I'll see what I can find about that, play Ben,
But thank you. The boob chup. Never heard of it.
Keep your calls coming through Angel Texts. Two people. Nine
to nine too was the text number. I'm still trying
to find an opening date for Jaws in New Zealand.
It was the twentieth of June in the United States
nineteen seventy five. Someone says, did he have any fear

(01:26:30):
of boobs as well? Good question, which I thought of
that Rod and Valerie Taylor, Australians, provide a lot of
the underwater live shark footage following the movie. They dedicated
their lives to conservations, to the backlash against sharks, especially
the Great White. I'm getting bombarded with shark frogram adverts
on TV. We're not expecting the Marcus. While my three

(01:26:52):
months before summer band was tongue in cheek. Recent shark
images do make one jumpy if something strikes one's flipper.
My big buffhead dog Barney swam out behind us and
gave us heart failure when he swam up into us
from behind, and we inhaled so much. Would have laughing
for us all because it was difficult to carry on.

(01:27:13):
Born nineteen seventy seven, Third child movies of note, Jaws,
Alien Nightmare on Albastick Cocone, Unbeatable. Unbeatable is not a movie.
That's an adjective.

Speaker 29 (01:27:23):
You're calling a bend there. Marcus was talking about the movie.
He said it was Dami and it was called The Omen,
and that movie made me dead scared of rot wilder dogs.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
I've never seen that terrible, terrible, I've never seen terrible.

Speaker 29 (01:27:37):
I was well freaked out. By those things.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
I don't even know they existed before that, did they?

Speaker 24 (01:27:41):
Right?

Speaker 29 (01:27:41):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I don't think I've ever seen one
in New Zealand. And I've heard of Doberman's but never
rot whalers.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
And I've always known, well, maybe I thought they were
what they would have been, Doberman's ros. Weren't they.

Speaker 29 (01:27:52):
Yeah, I've always been very wary of rot whalers ever since.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
What good reason? Okay, Tony, thank you for that. Twenty
nine to eleven. Jennet's Marcus welcome, good evening, Oh Markaire,
good Jenny, it's good. Well.

Speaker 36 (01:28:05):
We had an account with the real Jaws. Oh god,
back in the nineties. We're oven America, and we went
to Universal Studios and we jumped aboard the little train
thing on wheels that takes around on the movie sets,
and we came along as along to this little lake
and they said, oh, this is a lake where Jaws

(01:28:26):
was filmed, and maybe one was all looking out the
window and next thing, this nonstrous shark come flying out
of the water towards the vehicle. Everyone just about shat
themselves and all screaming, and yeah, well.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
That sounds quite clear how that works, because you're not
expecting it obviously.

Speaker 26 (01:28:44):
Well, no, and the and the.

Speaker 36 (01:28:45):
Lake was quite small, and they said that that was
where the whole thing was filmed. And when when you
saw the film and it saw on this you think
it's in this big ocean, but it's actually only on
a small lake.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
Yeah, I think that. Yea, I think a lot. I
don't know where the whole I think a lot of
it was filmed out. I'll look into that, but Genny,
thank you for that. Patrick, it's Marcus. Welcome, Mike.

Speaker 7 (01:29:06):
How are you mate?

Speaker 15 (01:29:07):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Patrick? God good, goody good, good good.

Speaker 7 (01:29:09):
You're wanting to know when Jaws was released in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Yeah, and where would you look? I find that out?

Speaker 7 (01:29:15):
Well, I just remember it because I actually went and
saw it, and it was it was during the Christmas
school holidays of seventy five seventy six. I would have
seen it very early seventy six, and I'm pretty sure
it was a Saint James thea fre in Auckland. And
we parked the car up the top of Queen Street
and walked down my friends and their family and they

(01:29:38):
were building the civic car park at the time, and
we looked over the fence and looked into this great
big hole that went way way down into the ground.
So the things. So, yeah, that's what I remember it. Say, Yeah,
January seventy five to seventy six. I would say that
probably the first or second week of January. Where did
you Where did you park up the top of Queen Street?

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
Where did you drive? Where did you drive in? From Patrick,
South Auckland. Yeah, I'm lucking the story. Big family out there.

Speaker 7 (01:30:08):
And years I say it was. It was quite scary
for a fifteen year old kids.

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
Yeah, well there were a lot of kids a lot
younger that went to it too, because the kids across
the road must have been about seven and eight. I
was surprised they went, but you know, I think their
father took them to toughened them up. I thought it
was a strange choice.

Speaker 7 (01:30:26):
It was actually good. I think it's been on telling
a few times and I think if I remember OLLI
scoring through the sky planner sort of thing, I think
it's on in the next few day sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
So yeah, yeah, I think it's on Bravo on Sunday, Yeah,
okay with the commercials and then the next day as well,
so they must be they must be honoring the fact
that it's a fifty year anniversary. So it seems that
it's going to get quite a few outings. I don't
know if they've done it. I don't think they've been
a recut or a longer version, have they. There's never

(01:30:57):
been a director's cut. It's always just been the movie,
hasn't it correct?

Speaker 15 (01:31:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:31:01):
Correct? Yeah, Yeah, I've seen them a couple of times.
I say, seventy five, seventy six, but yeah, I think
i've seen it on TV maybe once since.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
Yeah, didn't put you off the water?

Speaker 18 (01:31:12):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (01:31:13):
Yeah, did?

Speaker 7 (01:31:14):
I think it did initially? But yeah, Now I think
as time goes on, you get a bit older, and yeah,
like life goes on and you go in the water,
I think, yeah, I just like.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
Your family mission. Driving into town and parking the topic.
It seemed a long way away, but I guess that's
the that's the reality in those days.

Speaker 10 (01:31:31):
One of them.

Speaker 5 (01:31:31):
Oh it was.

Speaker 7 (01:31:32):
Yeah, we just came along along the Southern Motorway and
talk and found a found a parking spot where with
a friend of mine and his parents and and I'm
pretty sure it's the Saint James Theater. Yeah, it's during
it's definitely during the Christmas school holidays. So ye're siventy
five s and six there. I think it'd be pretty
safe to assume.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
That you've got a good memory. Patrick.

Speaker 7 (01:31:51):
Thank you very much. Mark, it's good to talk to you,
my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
I talked to you too. Twenty five to eleven, I
would say, is it text Marcus? I would say the
irrational fear that Gen X and boomers have with Jaws
as similar to the irrational fair millennials have with logging
trucks driving in front of them due to the final

(01:32:16):
destination movie. Blair texts, my mother went into labor with
me while she was watching Jaws in seventy six at
the cinema. It's been my favorite movie since childhood. Watch
it every couple of years. Cheers, Blair Marcus. I was

(01:32:38):
a total water baby. There's a teen seeing Jaws completely
ruined deep water swimming, just putting their head underwater and
seeing the murky green depths fading to the distance. Finally
started surfing at twenty six and spent twenty six years
surfing three early stormy days alone way out the back
of waves until well after sunset, even into moonlight. So
I guess I got over it. Did you have any

(01:33:03):
fear of boobs as well? That's funny that text day,
It's funny. Wild Robot was the film I was talking about.
But the text of the night, The text of the
night was I was trying to find it people, He's

(01:33:30):
gonna find the text of the night. Suspicion is that
the New World Fire was started by the Red Hot Specials.
It is twenty to eleven. Good evening, Celerets, Marcus. Welcome, Oh, good.

Speaker 35 (01:33:46):
Evening, Marcus. I'm just listening to about the Jaws movie.
I was an oper girl to the family that booked
in New York, and they had a summer house on
Martha's Vineyard.

Speaker 10 (01:33:58):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:33:59):
And that's where they That's where it was filmed, wasn't it.
That's where they filmed it.

Speaker 32 (01:34:04):
Yeah, we were.

Speaker 35 (01:34:05):
We had We used to go down to the beach
and snorkel and swim because it was summer. And then
one night we went off to the movie theater and
we saw Jaws, and of course a lot of the
locals were the extras, and they all stood up and
everyone cheered, and God when I got home from there,
and I don't think I ever at the beach again.

Speaker 10 (01:34:27):
Wow.

Speaker 35 (01:34:28):
Apparently it was too cold. I think there to actually
have sharks.

Speaker 5 (01:34:33):
So but yeah, it was.

Speaker 35 (01:34:35):
It was filmed there. And you know down where we were,
we were living, you could see the places, you know,
down by the wharf. So yeah, Martha's Vineyard off the coast.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Of Yes, because what was up and I'm remembering now,
that's what said the article I started us talking about
talking about reading about the career and the f year
was filmed at Matha's Vineyard.

Speaker 35 (01:34:56):
Yeah, a lot of a lot of the locals were
in the in the film, and of course they were
all there at the theater and everyone was cheering. But yeah,
it was pretty pretty gary go on the water after that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
Nice place, Martha's Vineyard, Yeah, oh there was.

Speaker 35 (01:35:13):
There was in the seventies way back. And yeah, we
lived we actually lived next door to the Kennedy And
I don't know who. I don't even know who the
Kennedys were until some yacht past our house and park
next door. And yeah, there's quite a lot of I
think wealthy people and movie stars.

Speaker 14 (01:35:36):
The Taylor Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
There must have been quite that market family you were
working for.

Speaker 35 (01:35:44):
Oh yeah, he was a developer, a Jewish fan, Jewish family,
and we went to this place on Martha's vineyard, but
place with the tennis court, and they had the people come.
They had to have private beaches there, and they had
a couple of guys come and they took all the
stones off the beach so we could just have stands.

(01:36:05):
But I mean, I I had to work because I
was working for them. And it was a it was
a it was a lovely place. But I mean the
houses were beautiful. But you know, I just remember Jaws
and was filmed on Martha's vineyards.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
And just to get me right, just to correct, Martha's
Vineyard is an island, isn't it.

Speaker 32 (01:36:29):
Yes, it's off.

Speaker 35 (01:36:34):
Oh Boston or the Cape Cape Cape Cod. There's another
island called Nantucket. And it was the bigger island marthas inion.
I think a lot of people from New York and
they go there for the summer.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
It's not a huge also, it's about five kilometers across.
It's not messive, is it?

Speaker 35 (01:36:55):
But no, no, And it's got like a real Cape
Cod like.

Speaker 27 (01:37:02):
Town.

Speaker 35 (01:37:02):
And you know, all the boats go fishing and people say,
you know, sail over there and stopped there for the summer.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
Did you fly there? Did you fly there or go
by Faery.

Speaker 35 (01:37:16):
No, just buy Faery, okay, because we lived in New York,
just in Rye, New York. Yeah, and then we must
I don't know, we must have traveled up somewhere and
then they went across with the car. If I can remember, yeah,
it was a while back, but yeah, that's where Jaws
I remember.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
I'll remember that it put you off swimming for life
to that silla.

Speaker 35 (01:37:40):
Yeah, kind of. I like swimming pools now, but.

Speaker 10 (01:37:44):
No funny.

Speaker 35 (01:37:45):
I never I really enjoyed the swimming with the snort
cling and you could see little fish, But that that
night stopped stopped all swimming.

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
In the sea.

Speaker 35 (01:37:55):
From then onwards, I think I spuck to the swimming pool.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
That's a talk, So I thanks so much. Seventeen to
eleven A text door says, I went to the Jaws
movie in nineteen seventy six on a first date and
have been with that person for coming up to forty
four years married this year. Nice story. Maryland says, I'm

(01:38:21):
enjoying as the the Peel's Memories of Jewels. I remember
the aerie music in the film. Whenever I heard it
gave me the creeps. I think it still does give
people the creeps for a famous bit of music and
you got to hit two bars. You know what it is.
Don't even know if there was much else on the soundtrack.
Get in touch you want to talk here till midnight

(01:38:42):
twelve for midnight Hello Kendle. Sorry, twelve to eleven, Kendle.
It's Marcus. Good evening, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 27 (01:38:49):
I'd like to tell you about a tale, a true
tale about forty years ago, approximately seventy star from Foodstuff
Swellington and some of them were grossers, went to California.
One of the places we went to was one of
those film studios now around. They had a lake there

(01:39:15):
and they towed a little trailer around for a bus
and a trailer, and in there we went alongside this lake,
and the lake had a pier going out and it
looked like a single toilet at the end. All of
a sudden it blew up, and everybody looked over there

(01:39:36):
to see what was going to happen. But in the
meantime it was to take our mind off yours, who
came into the shore right where we were. But everybody
was looking at this action from the toilet, and we
got a hallow of fright and I took Yes, I

(01:40:00):
took a photo of it, but it was in fright.
I had the camera in my lap and I've still
got it today here.

Speaker 2 (01:40:09):
So anyway, what were there other special effects on that tour?
Was it the only one?

Speaker 22 (01:40:16):
Oh?

Speaker 27 (01:40:17):
I know, there was things going here, there and everywhere.
You know that the House of wax and went into
a railway station, for instance, and a train came and
alongside the platform that we were in the suttle cart,
and all of a sudden there was an earthquake and
the concrete all broke up, water pouring out of it

(01:40:40):
and all the rest of it. You know, very realistic.

Speaker 2 (01:40:44):
No good on food stuff taking seventy people. Were you
a grosser?

Speaker 27 (01:40:49):
No, I was in charge of the property at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:40:52):
Well it was a good junket that way, Yeah too, right,
it was what else did you do when you were there?

Speaker 5 (01:41:00):
We went and saw a lot of.

Speaker 27 (01:41:01):
The s supermarkets Disneyland. I thought, oh, well that would
be for kids in that I'll tell you what. I've
been back to America since, and in the first place
we work with Disneyland because it was really something so well,
there's many many things I saw.

Speaker 5 (01:41:23):
Are they you know the.

Speaker 27 (01:41:26):
For the world, the fish and so on. But anyway,
that's their adventure out there.

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
What's your favorite supermarket? These days? There are Kendall, I
do the shopping and I go to a new world
and stoke brilliant. It's good, is it?

Speaker 5 (01:41:49):
It's just being a.

Speaker 27 (01:41:51):
New ones being built at the at the present time?

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
Are your self checkout, no, no where.

Speaker 27 (01:42:01):
I'll get a bigger order than that, okay, and so
I get the the ladies to do it.

Speaker 11 (01:42:08):
Brilliant.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
Nice to hear from your Kendall. Thank you. Nine to eleven.
What we are talking about is Jaws. Because it's fifty
years ago on the twentieth, which is three days away
that it was released in the United States. Many call
it the greatest movie ever made, not for the greatest skip,
not for the greatest acting, not but just the greatest

(01:42:29):
general all around film, which is probably fair enough. Spielberg
did it twenty eight apparently he was when he nailed that.
That's pretty unbelievable. And I think a lot of the
success of the movie is because the mechanical shark was
such a dud that a lot of the frights hat

(01:42:52):
to be implied rather than spelt. Out, which made the
movie psychologically more terrifying. Of course I haven't seen it,
which I love telling people. But it's on TV this
weekend on Bravo on Sunday night, so they never know.

(01:43:15):
But come Monday I might be all sharked up. Be
fun to watch it with commercials. I flew from Nelson
to christ to eight pms. We're born in the partner,
so we want to get away hit a schedule to
try and beat the fog that's due to cover Christ
Churcher other time we land We took our five minutes

(01:43:36):
early and no sign of fog when we landed fully
three minutes that I've never been on a flight that
actually left a hit a schedule. Great, Hi John, AT's Marcus?
Good evening?

Speaker 4 (01:43:51):
Yeah, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:43:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:43:54):
There's quite a famous scene in Jaws when Roy Scheider,
the guy that plays the police chief.

Speaker 22 (01:44:01):
Is on the beach and.

Speaker 4 (01:44:06):
There is there's a big scare on the beach. It
creates a whole lot of panic and Steven Spielberg, the director,
he is quite a what's become quite a famous method
of filming for that scene and what they did they

(01:44:27):
put the camera on a like a little track that
allowed them to pull the camera back from from Roy Scheider,
but at the same time they zoom in, So it
creates quite a cinematic effect that that enheartss the sort

(01:44:50):
of panic that he's showing, you know, And it's a
famous method of filming that has since been used quite
a lot. And sometimes I see it in movies and
I think, oh, that's the that's the Jaws technical or
that beach.

Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
So just to clarify, you've got tracks with the carts
on it, and you've got the camera fixed and they're
pulling that back, but you've got a focused person that's
actually focusing zooming it in as it's been pulled back.

Speaker 22 (01:45:20):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:45:21):
Well, I hadn't thought about that. That's quite clever, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:45:24):
Yeah, you're watching it this weekend for the first time,
you might notice that one.

Speaker 2 (01:45:29):
Yeah, and it must be quite cinematog cinematographically significant with
some of the things they've done, because I guess what
happens when you're young and you're kind of pressed for time,
and you know, and the mechanical shark's not working, you
pull out all the tricks.

Speaker 4 (01:45:46):
Yeah, yes, I think there were quite a few, because
I think It's really a film that, although he didn't
get the Academy Award, it certainly put him on the
map as a very innovative director.

Speaker 2 (01:46:02):
I think we all know the Academy. I think we
all know the academies are rigged though, aren't where someone
gets because.

Speaker 5 (01:46:06):
It's the.

Speaker 4 (01:46:08):
Yeah, yeah, I think so too. But he went on
to direct, of course, Close Encounters of the Third Kind,
with Richard Jafuss starring in that as well, who was
in Jaws. So yeah, that was another thing they collaborated on.

Speaker 6 (01:46:27):
Have you seen it?

Speaker 2 (01:46:28):
Have you seen it recently?

Speaker 4 (01:46:31):
I can't remember the last time I saw it, but
I have seen it several times and it's it's in
a movie I enjoy.

Speaker 5 (01:46:39):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:46:41):
Actually the first ever three D movie that I saw
was Jaws three three D. I think it was quite
quite an early one that they did in three D.

Speaker 2 (01:46:57):
Yeah, I think it was very good. My first three
D movie was Piranha and it wasn't much good.

Speaker 4 (01:47:06):
No, yeah, I only for that one too.

Speaker 6 (01:47:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:09):
No, because ten to fifteen years ago, three D movies
and all the rage again. But now they're cand be
disappeared again, haven't they. There's no nothing anymore?

Speaker 4 (01:47:19):
Na you don't see it, you know, I remember because
I've taken my kids to three D movies, can't remember
what they were, but no, that would have been yeah,
sort of probably over ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
Yeah, because even Avatar was three D and I don't
know if the sequel was or not, but that seemed
to be a big part of Avatar's success. That was
at hollow me kind of feel that's right, Yeah, it
was okay, John, Thanks for that. Now Dolly Zoom, I've
been to look at that. I was talking to you,
Get out of the water. That's the famous Dolly Zoom.

(01:47:58):
Thank you for those texts getting touched. My name is Marcus, Welcome.
We are talking duels. Your thoughts on that could be
fifty years before another chance to talk about this on
the radio, that's right, long time. You might be one
of those people that have never seen it and how

(01:48:18):
that felt like spending your whole life something that you've
kind of couldn't even talk about because you had no
experience of it. Well, just looking at that video of
the Dolly Zoom, what's the colors look really vibrant on it,
which I'm quite excited about. There's all those movies in

(01:48:39):
the seventy. Look that looks sensational. The old Dolly Zoo
may fire seems to be contained. That's the father. Oh,
I can't remember afar in a supermarket like that before.

(01:49:00):
By the way, there's this huge supermarket opening in Rolliston.
The South Island's largest supermarket are Peck and Save forty
million dollars. For those that don't know, Roliston is a
city you can actually see growing, built to withstand anything.

(01:49:27):
It's been built to continue operating through major seismic events.
Four hundred andy five car parks because you need those
because there have been no buses. The people used to
have Peck and Save Rickerton and New World Bewcluther fourteenth

(01:49:51):
of October twenty twenty five is where it opens.

Speaker 11 (01:49:55):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
I wonder whether they'll have tellers. It'll just all be
self scanning. Good evening, George, welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:50:06):
Yeah, you're mentioning the Trump parade. The birthday present parade.

Speaker 2 (01:50:10):
Yes is seventy ninth and the two fifty year of
two and fifty years of the American military.

Speaker 34 (01:50:15):
I suppose it was I've recorded that, but I watched
most of it, and there was a couple of things
that amazed me.

Speaker 16 (01:50:22):
How slow it was, and they seemed to spread it
out so that the fireworks would end up being taken
in the dark because they couldn't have it going any faster.

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
I think the service people would just round off, having
just spent a day rehearsing. It just seemed to be
over it.

Speaker 16 (01:50:41):
They I've watched the Russian parades. Those guys have impeccable timing.
Everything's up close. It's mess on mess, you know. And
you watch the Chinese one and.

Speaker 8 (01:50:55):
They have just.

Speaker 16 (01:50:58):
Impickable clothing, the timing, the lines are dead straight, no
one's out of place, every movement is all together a mess.
It's incredible. In the North Korean ones, you know, same again,
huge background, huge number of people with flags, all waving
and everybody cheering, everybody on. And he watched the Trump ones.

(01:51:18):
The guys weren't even walking properly in step. Their expressions
on their faces was why do I have to do this?
Didn't even in straight lines.

Speaker 2 (01:51:28):
Did you see the drone guy.

Speaker 16 (01:51:30):
Oh, he just sort of carried it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:32):
Yeah, unbelievable the.

Speaker 16 (01:51:34):
Point, I don't know. And it looked like a drone
out of the local toy shop. Yes, yes, And Trump
many times his ies grouped doing a Biden. You sort
of wondered if he'd fallen asleep.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
Well, I think most of the time he's realizing, Gee,
why did I ask for this? This is just ridiculous?

Speaker 16 (01:51:52):
No, why did he demand it? Because he demanded on
his first time and they refused, so he didn't get it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:59):
He went to Paris with mccrawn and saw one that
he was quite impressed with because the French you're good
at that, and wanted one, and of course too. It
just made the US military look incredibly underwhelming and not
laughing and not fight fit, because I reckon most of
them can't serve anyway because they won't pass the health
standards because their physical condition is so poor. And I

(01:52:21):
think that was a fairly quick representation of it.

Speaker 16 (01:52:24):
And where are the missiles? Where are the decent bits
of armory instead of tank on tank on tank?

Speaker 2 (01:52:32):
Were there any fly people? Were there any flyovers?

Speaker 6 (01:52:36):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (01:52:36):
There were. You didn't see much of them, though, But
the guys in the tanks were all waving and cheering
everything as if they'd been told to do that, you know.
But the guys marching one or two would turn to
Trump as if they wanted a salute, but the rest
of the guys know, in the middle of the crowd,
you know, in the Chinese they all turned to the

(01:52:57):
president as they go past, or premiere or is he
what his name is? The Russian ones that will turned
to putin, you know, their heads turned to the right
and snap.

Speaker 2 (01:53:06):
And the same with the where did you get hold
of it?

Speaker 16 (01:53:11):
I watched the whole thing on teev It was interesting.
Fox Fox had it on, but they kept poking advertisements
in the middle of it, which I thought was really amazing.
And then they replayed it later in the night full
with no advertisements, so somebody must have complained. And then
if you went to Sky Australia, they had it on

(01:53:32):
there and the BBC had it. But the BBC had
their own commentary running to a certain extent as well,
and the girl and the Americans when they had the
parade running, instead of watching the whole parade when the
advertisements were on, well they seemed to cut to this
chat stuff and it was just you know, yak, yak, yak,

(01:53:56):
about how great they were in everything between these two
guys or this guy on this bill commentary, and it
was like, shut up with you. I want to actually
see the parade?

Speaker 2 (01:54:04):
How long was it?

Speaker 12 (01:54:05):
And the.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
Sorry, how low did the prey take?

Speaker 22 (01:54:10):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (01:54:10):
Ours started at ten o'clock on TV and they finished
about three and it finished well, it must have been
an afternoon one there, because it finished as it got
dark and then they had it would have been an
hour of fireworks in the middle of all this stuff,
which was choreographed with music, and it was quite interesting.

(01:54:33):
But the amount of money they must have spent on
fireworks was huge.

Speaker 2 (01:54:37):
Were there any bagpipes or anything?

Speaker 16 (01:54:40):
I didn't see any bagpipes. They started the parade with
the sort of like seventeen hundreds with drawn carriages and
guys and red and white English type soldier uniforms and
all this sort of stuff. So they went right back
through history and slowly worked there up to the present.

(01:55:01):
Then they went through all the different platoons and all
the different airborne divisions, everything related to the army. So
they had all the desert uniform Desert Storm uniforms, and
all this sort of stuff was all there, so they
showed all the different.

Speaker 2 (01:55:16):
It was quite a big deal when Desert Storm came
out with that special desert camouflage and those special dessert boots.
That was a big thing. I remember that win.

Speaker 34 (01:55:22):
In nineteen ninety I was which I was actually involved
with an international outfit and we had a TV screen
satellite feeds from all the Iraq and Kuwait, Yep and
all the American armories.

Speaker 16 (01:55:41):
You know, in the history of the Americans, they used
to have those wagons and circles to fight the Indians off.
In the movies. Yes, well, we saw flying over the desert.
They had huge encampments, tampments with there would have been
probably five hundred one thousand tanks, not kidding, in tents

(01:56:03):
and all sorts of stuff in these huge encampments in
the middle of the desert. And then there was a
big gap, and then there'd be another one would fly
over that, and there'd be another one and another one,
and Yeah, it just went on and on, and I
wish I'd videoed it. And I just couldn't believe how
much money had been spent on all the stuff that

(01:56:23):
was never returned to the States and just left behind. Wow,
and it's just amazing. And you know, the tanks had
blades on bulldos of blades on them, so that when
they got to the trenches where the Iraqis were they
simply just pushed this end over them and buried them.
Then they could just go ahead, but rowning over the trenches.

(01:56:45):
You know, the stuff that I saw there was just amazing.
The the you know, the shots of where they shut
up all the all the roads and all the trucks
and everything, and demolition of that. What you saw on
TV at home was nothing compared to the international news
feeds that were going through at the.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
Time, because it was the first kind of contract we
had CNN, didn't we There was a lot of you
remember for.

Speaker 16 (01:57:07):
That, yes, yes, but it was also choreographed all the newspeople.
From what we saw and what we understood from the
army information for the Americans was they were all taken
in groups to the same places to see the same things.
They never saw the rest of what was going on,

(01:57:29):
So they were taken to what the army wanted the
public to see, and so everybody kept seeing the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:57:35):
What was your role, George, Can you say any more
about that?

Speaker 6 (01:57:39):
I was and.

Speaker 16 (01:57:41):
Sometimes controlling feeds to Televison New Zealand, Okay, and all
this sort of thing. So we're feeding news feeds through
and feeding news feeds out I was actually in control
of the nineteen ninety Commonwealth Games to the World. Wow,
I pushed the button to turn that on. So I've

(01:58:01):
had some interesting moments. I looked at the button on
the console and the screen as we had the opening ceremony,
and I could turn off the world. You know, if
I was a rebel, I could turn off the world
and they wouldn't see nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:58:17):
Clearly, you didn't nice to talk, George, Thank you, twenty
six past eleven. Well, he's a good point. Got a
feel for the New World staff at Freeman's Bay, the
uncertainty of where they may be relocated to other food
stuff locations if you're lucky enough. So yeah, I don't
know about that. The insurance not cover their wages during

(01:58:37):
the rebuild. Perhaps they don't. That is a concern. Marcus.
My memory of Jews. When I was twelve years old,
my mother dropped myself and three other siblings off at
the picture theater. She was late picking us up. I
went back there together toilet the movie theater locked up.
Was in the bathroom. Locked inside a theater at twelve

(01:59:00):
was traumatizing. I bet my mother ran down the street
to find the lady with the Keys. Every time Juork
comes on now it brings back memories of me being
locked in the theater. I often wonder why did my
mother drop us to see such a gruesome movie. At
twelve the Crusaders, we meet the Chiefs in the twenty
twenty five Super Rugby Pacific Grand Final. I see old

(01:59:25):
Colin Man's bridge. I think it's some. He's banned the
cow bells from the stadium, so I thought it was gutless.
But they've done that and slightly precious New Zealand's winter Solstice.
The shortest day is Saturday, twenty first of June twenty

(01:59:48):
twenty five, at two forty one pm. From then on
the days get longer and the first all Black game
of the years against France July five in Dunedin. Have
destroyed that by sending down a B team. I can't

(02:00:10):
work out when they can't stop that, just ruining rugby,
the obsession with the World Cup. Would have loved to
have gone that match if it was going to be
any good, but now have no interest. Good evening, Pete,
it's Marcus. Welcome, Marcus there going good Pete yourself? You're

(02:00:32):
not seeing George?

Speaker 35 (02:00:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 30 (02:00:35):
I have actually see I put the damn good movie,
but I thought it was quite well. You were old
they had made it. But in the day I don't
stand good move.

Speaker 2 (02:00:43):
Yeah, everyone seems to think that one of the best.

Speaker 30 (02:00:46):
I reckon it was, yeah, sounds and everything, it was
quite quite well done. You're just regarding the I can't
play bring the bells down at thet the final on.

Speaker 2 (02:00:55):
So they're not and it's very toldish, incredibly childish, because
there wouldn't be many people coming down from from the
Wyekado anyway.

Speaker 30 (02:01:05):
If they bring whoever whatever team it is. If you
can't handle the pressure, well tough.

Speaker 22 (02:01:10):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:01:11):
They said it would be dangerous to have a cow bell,
Well no one's been. No one's who'd of Whitekato standing
with the cow bells?

Speaker 30 (02:01:17):
Are they absolutely prosthetic? And yeah, there should be a
shane in themself. Actually, I hope they do. After that,
they lose it by quite a bit.

Speaker 37 (02:01:27):
They deserve to lose it now. The crusaders don't want
the cheat to win anyway, but they deserveship.

Speaker 2 (02:01:34):
Brother, did you know about that or you just heard
it when I said it?

Speaker 30 (02:01:37):
No, I just hit it now.

Speaker 37 (02:01:38):
I couldn't believe I just can't believe and if you
cross shocked, I just.

Speaker 2 (02:01:44):
Bring the article ups to make sure I've got it right.

Speaker 37 (02:01:47):
Yeah, yeah, shouldn't be to stop that.

Speaker 2 (02:01:50):
Crusader's chief executive Colin Maine for said the band was
due to spectator safety.

Speaker 37 (02:01:56):
We have, we have the games here on some you
plumber the highlands. What they bring their buckets along, you.

Speaker 2 (02:02:01):
Know they bang on the part of it to kill
the vibe.

Speaker 30 (02:02:05):
Apparently detonment.

Speaker 37 (02:02:06):
I think, bring whatever you like along long you not
hit anybody.

Speaker 2 (02:02:09):
We've made the decision to ban cow bells for the
Super Rugby Grand Final to ensure fans are able to
come to the stadium and enjoy a great game of
rugby where everyone is safe.

Speaker 37 (02:02:20):
What that is bad sportsmanship?

Speaker 2 (02:02:22):
Totally bad sportsmanship.

Speaker 3 (02:02:25):
Yees.

Speaker 6 (02:02:25):
Not not that they got room.

Speaker 2 (02:02:27):
That they've got room for those bloody horses going back
and forward.

Speaker 30 (02:02:31):
You know, let's see what they can have that fun.

Speaker 37 (02:02:33):
They don't mind bringing the horses along with it. They
can bring whatever they bring along. But is the other
the other opposition team they want to bring what they
want to bring along and where it's just intertoned.

Speaker 2 (02:02:43):
Just certainly makes half the country want to back back.
White cutter, doesn't it?

Speaker 7 (02:02:48):
Ah after that, never coding.

Speaker 30 (02:02:51):
These crusaders now they're hips the car a tune on them.

Speaker 2 (02:02:54):
Good to hear so animated. Pete, thank you, and it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 6 (02:03:00):
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 38 (02:03:02):
I've just been listening and talking about sharks and things,
and I always remember my mother telling me the story.
She was a good swimmer in her day, and this
would have been about them or forties. In the nineteen forties,
she was a member of the Wolminary Surf Club and
they were at a competition down in Tea tie Bade

(02:03:23):
near Willington, and they must have had a lunch break
or something, so she just went out for a swim
in the bay, and she said, then she was swimming around,
she all of a sudden had a feeling that there
was something swamed past her, but she couldn't see anything.
And when she happened to look back into the shore,

(02:03:45):
her teammates were waving at her, and she thought they
were just waving, so she waved back and it wasn't
until she got back into the shore they were waving
or I hope that they've seen a spin in the water.

Speaker 3 (02:04:01):
Wow, they were.

Speaker 38 (02:04:02):
Waving at her. To come back in. But so she
must thing went right past very close to us, so
obviously it wasn't hungry enough for you know, she had.

Speaker 2 (02:04:14):
Lucky escape, did she see?

Speaker 16 (02:04:16):
Yous? I do?

Speaker 38 (02:04:21):
And I'll never forget that. I can still have that
very first scene lodged in my mind when they still
went out early morning, and I can still remember seeing
her shooting sideways through the water all of a sudden,
and I'll never get that first scene out of my head.

(02:04:42):
But I haven't started the swimming.

Speaker 2 (02:04:45):
I can't wait to see it. And but thanks so
much for that. Nice to hear from you. Yes, the
other topic too, if you want to get outrageous about
the Canterbury rugby team or the Crusaders. Health and skinned evening,
Cheryl Good evening, Hi.

Speaker 32 (02:05:00):
Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:05:01):
Cheryl Good?

Speaker 32 (02:05:03):
Yeah, I'm really gutted that the no cowbells are allowed
on Saturday night.

Speaker 2 (02:05:10):
Yeah, seems surprised. A cow bell is a feature of
White Cato the Super rugby team though.

Speaker 32 (02:05:17):
Yes, of course the games yeah both Yeah, whether it's
NPC or Super Rugby, the cowbells are always there. And
I'm really really pissed off the Crusaders. They need to
get off their bloody pedestals. I don't know who they
think they are, who made them chiefs go? Yeah, I
hope the chiefs go down there and kick their asses

(02:05:38):
big time.

Speaker 10 (02:05:39):
I really do.

Speaker 32 (02:05:40):
I'm really pissed off, to be honest, yep, not on
bad sportsmanship.

Speaker 2 (02:05:46):
And there's probably no one going to find up with
cow bells anyway. It's probably sold out for the cantabs.

Down and Super Rugby and ninety percent of the games
are won by.
