Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Teams podcast
from News Talks at BO.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
This is Ray, Where is my husband? New music? She
lost all of her songwriting notebooks last year. I don't
know how, but okay, maybe there was a fire.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Was there a fire?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
They were stolen? Libby says they were stolen. Thanks producing Libby,
that's bad Aim. Anyway, She's pulled a few tracks from
the depths of her mind though, to bring us this
new one. So that's nice Jack. The women were outplayed,
says Ben. Canada turned up to play New Zealand was
still asleep the better team one on the day. I agree.
Right home to catch up with Francesca Rudkid, our film reviewer,
for her picks this weekend killed her.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Let's begin with a movie showing and cinemas at the moment.
This is Splitsville.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Ky as that I'm unteathful, no one does does the
horse isn't that big as your.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We're open, we are not monogamous. Oh okay, little twist
there tell us about Splitsical, Francesca, Yes, So.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I felt like I needed a bit of a laugh
this week, so I took myself off to my local
my little Lido and epsom and sat there with two
other people and I did have a really good laugh,
mostly at a couple of scenes involving goldfish Jack And
if you've seen splits bul you'll know what I'm talking about.
And I know that sounds a bit odd, but it
was a real got the giggles, couldn't stop giggling, laugh
(01:52):
and I think we all need one of those. I
don't know whether you'll laugh at Splitsful or not. It'll
all depend on the mood you're in and whether you're
you're sort of open and available for a bit of
screwball comedy and a bit of fun, a bit of craziness.
I spoke about the recently, which is also on cinemas.
In cinemas at the moment, two people, you know, go
to hate each other and then they sort to beat
up with this toxic relationship. This too is an exploration
(02:16):
of marriage and relationships, but it's a bit more nutty,
it's a bit more bonkers, and it's from the two
guys who brought us another fabulous comedy recently called The Climb,
Michael Angelo Covino and Carl Marvin. And they're going to
getting a name for themselves as these two who are
writing these fabulous comedies, and Covino has directed this, and look,
(02:39):
it's just it's just, it's a bit. It's a bit
of everything. There are sort of some quite sweet, sort
of almost you know, lovely moments. There's some outrageous fun,
there's some nudity and craziness. There's some physical comedy. There's
also a fight between these two characters which is absolutely hilarious.
(02:59):
It goes on and on on and leads to one
of those goldfish scenes. So there's kind of a little
bit of everything. They throw it all at us. This
is kind of one of those films that you think, oh,
this is so refreshing. It hasn't like a studio, hasn't interfered.
May haven't put it in front of a test screening,
have told them to tidy it up and make it nice. Look,
some of it works, some of it doesn't. But it's
(03:19):
a story of this couple being married for fourteen months.
She suddenly says, actually, what am I doing? I don't
want to settle down. I want to go and have fun.
He pretends that that's absolutely fine, you go have fun,
and they're still sort of living together. He tells another
his best friends Paul and Judy, that this has happened,
and they go, look, you know, these things happen. We
have an open marriage, and then everything kind of their
(03:42):
relationships kind of intersect and everything kind of turns into
a little bit of chaos here. So, as I said,
it's they throw everything at you. Some of it works,
some of it doesn't. But one of the great things
that they did was they got to Coda Johnson to
come in and play Julie. And she is fantastic and
it's really good fun seeing her gist sort of with
a bit more lighter comedic material. She's absolutely fantastic in themselves.
(04:05):
So there we go.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I've got the last Yeah, very good. Now it sounds
like it sounds like a good be a bit of
fun as well, and I like the idea that it
hasn't been kind of overly produced by a studio that's
you know, test audiencing it too much and that kind
of thing. So that's Splitsville. That's showing in cinemas right now.
Our next film is screening on Disney Plus. This is swiped.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Young people don't date online.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
If we raced through that stick.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Ma suddenly we've got complete market share of on millennial dating.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And just give me six hundred bucks in a plane
ticket and I will come back with the next fortune
five hundred company with Tender. I'm swiping right, How do
I download it? I want to see this.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh okay, this is a little bit different. Tell us
about swipe Francisca.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
So this is screening on Disney Plus, it's the unauthorized
biography of Whitney Wolf heard. Lily James plays her and
does a very good job of it. I think probably
the issue here is it is the unauthorized biography. So
Whitney Wolf Heard. She was a co founder of Tender.
She had a relationship with one of her co workers
that didn't work out so well. She leaves Tinder. She
(05:05):
goes on to mind to found the popular women's first
dating at Bumble. But she's also very kind of becomes
very well known because she took Tender to court for
or she sewed them for sexual harassment discrimination. So she's
kind of known for those sort of three things. But
she's under a massive NBA, so we you know, she
(05:26):
can't talk. She can't share her story. Now the can
a lot of other people who were around it, so
what they've kind of pulled toget. I think this is
a really interesting story. It's an interesting story of a
woman in a very male dominated industry, especially at a
time when it was maybe quite loose, and you know
that that that environment sort of you know, has a
(05:49):
social reputation and often women sort of had to conform
to that culture. So I think there's a really interesting
story here. I think the problem is that they can't
really get to the bottom of what what drove herd
you know what, what her intent mentions were, the lessons
she learned. So yeah, it's interesting, it's fascinating. Lily James
(06:12):
is great, but I think unfortunately Dan Stevens appears I
did not recognize him for a moment. So yeah, it's
glossy and well put together. I just think unfortunately we
can't really get to the truth of the story. The gritedness,
you know what, would have made it a little bit
given a little bit more depth.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, all right, So that swiped that is showing on
Disney Plus, Splitsville is in cinemas. All of the dats
for those films are up on the news talks heb website. NEWSTALKSEEDB,
dot co, dot MZ. Thank you so much, Francisca.
