Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast
from News Talks at Me.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Time to catch up with our film with You.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Francesca Rudkin is here with her picks for this Easter weekend.
Good morning, Good morning. So there's been a lot of
hype about our Robert Pattinson and Zindaia starring in.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Your first pick for us this morning. We'd better have
a listen.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
This is the drama, all right. So before we got married,
we did this thing, or we said the worst thing
we've ever done.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'll tell mine if we all do it. Promise what
did you do?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Beer bottles and porn left a ner of night?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, what's the worst thing I've ever done?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Okay, I are you serious?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Don dun't dan?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I mean that is a tantalizing little Traylor, is it not?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
And I'm not gonna I'm not going to tell you anything.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I was going to say, don't you dare.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Is because actually you want to try and work through
it with the characters as they're trying to work through it.
That's sort of the fun of this film. Sindana and
Robert Pattinson are.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Really good together.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I kind of couldn't quite picture it, but they're really delightful.
They've got this very natural chemistry. This is the first
time they've worked together, but they're actually in three films
together this year. They're also in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey
and also Dune Part three, which is out at the
end of the year.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
So they're really really love it together.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Look, this film, it starts out as laugh out loud
funny and as it progresses it shifts to sort of
a more cringe worthy, uncomfortable funny. So they play these
two characters, Emma and Charlie, and it is the week
of their wedding. They're just finalizing the preparations, getting things sorted.
I really liked the pacing of this film. They kind of,
(01:56):
you know, as they're writing speeches, we have little sort
of flashbacks to how they met, so we get to
know them. But it's sharp and it's snappy, and we
kind of get to the point, which is this evening
they have with their some friends of theirs, this married
couple where they all talk about the worst thing that
they've done. And a couple of them have done some
quite bad things, but nothing compared to what Zendea's character,
(02:17):
Emma kind of accidentally drops on the table she'd had
a few wines, and she admits to this thing, and
it really just changes everything, and it's very hard to
everything from every comment she makes to every action she does,
you now see her in a completely new context. And
of course Robert Pattinson's Charlotte character, Charlie has to work
(02:40):
out with actually, you know, do I know this person?
Do I really want to marry this person? Do I
want to spend the rest of my life with this person? Also,
so it really looks at relationships. It looks at how much,
you know, is love enough to kind of overcome an
obstacle and to forgive someone. And it also looks at
empathy and how much empathy we can have for someone
(03:01):
who might have made a mistake or almost made a mistake,
and how we can kind of.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
See through it.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It's really look it's snappy, it's really clever, as I say,
life out loud, funny.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
At the beginning, I was really enjoying it.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Then it does get quite uncomfortable as the intensity builds
and we heap get to the wedding and it all
kind of falls back. I spend a bit of time
wondering how else they might have resolved this film because
the question posed and it is quite hard to resolve,
and I think they've left it. I think they've done
a nice job of it and leaving it maybe in
a way that you can.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Use your own. It's a little bit ambiguous.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
You could maybe decide for yourself how you would like
things to kind of pan out.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
But no, it's it's really great. It's a bit different.
I mean, it's a it's.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
A rom com and it's a drama d and it's
a dark black comedy. It's a psychological sort of thriller
at the same time. It's a little bit of everything. No,
really clever thought it was great.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, it sounds really good. I was gonna say it
does sound dark without having.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It feels like there's a dark secret here.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Absolutely, And there is some controversy around it because the
secret is something which people don't really feel should be
a gimmick in a romantic comedy, but they can out
with in a manner that we all understand the seriousness
of it.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
So there is a bit of controversy around it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Even the way you've talked about it just makes me
so intrigued. Now I know it's everything I can do
not to go and google it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'm not going to, but you know what I mean, like, no, no,
I won't. I won't want anything.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
And it's my advice to listens as well. Do not
read anything more about this just you know it's great. Yeah,
don't check it out.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Very good. Okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So that is the drama that is showing in cinemas
at the moment, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya. Next up,
let's have a listen to a film streaming on Disney Plus.
This is Mike Nick Nick and Alice.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Happening.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I'm you, but I'm from the future. They came back,
but a time is ship.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And I understand obviously.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, this is a little bit different.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
This is a film that really shouldn't work on paper,
and look, it probably only just works on screen thanks
to the charisma of its stars. It's a gangster flick.
I think it's sort of set around the nineteen nineties,
but it's also it's also a sci fi film that
involves time travel, and it's a comedy, and it's an
action film, and it's it's a little bit nuts.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
So we follow a couple of hitmen turns out.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
One of them, Mike, played by James Marsden, is having
an affair with his partner. Next wife, Nick, is played
by Vince Vaughn. He's having an affair with his wife Alice,
played by Isaa Gonzales, now the Boys Boss, sort of
mafia like boss. He is celebrating the release of his
son from prison, and to celebrate, he's decided he is
(05:52):
going to take out the person who sent his son
to prison. And it turns out that Mike has been
set up and being held responsible for this, so that
there is a hip man on the way to take
out Mike. Neck, though, decides to step in and help out.
But not just one Nick. There are two Nicks. Hence
the time travel comes into play. It's bonkers, it's really
(06:13):
quite it's really quite nuts. So there's a lot of
Vince Vaughn in this film. There's two Vince Baughn's. He
plays two characters, and he is very much playing. He's
very much acting in the way that we always expect
him to. It's kind of, you know, I don't know
if you've sick got apple, but he's in a show
called Bad Monkey, and it's the most it's the best
performance I've seen from him in a long time. His
(06:33):
sort of his character, in his way of acting, really
fitted that show and that character, and he's brilliant this
it's just a little bit more typical Vince Vaughn having
fun in action comedy. But look along with James Marsden
and Isaac Gonzalez, so the three of them are really
fun together. So if you want something breezy and easy
to watch over Easter, and you've got Disney Plus once
(06:55):
again a little bit like the previous film I spoke about,
it's a real mix of genres. It's a romantic comedy,
a comedy against a film, a crime flick, and a
time travel film. So yeah, if you want something a
little that's a real.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Trend at the moment.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
He yeah, yeah, and look if you can, if you
can do it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Well yeah, right for sure. But the kind of mooley
mash of genres where you're like, oh, so it's both
like a you know, a horror and a seventeenth century
period drama and you know, like in a children's comedy,
like oh.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, it's quite good.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I like that, you know, I like the filmmakers don't
necessarily feel pigeonholed, you know, and maybe it's a maybe
there's another way to look at it, and you could
say they're trying to be everything to everyone at once,
you know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
But yeah, I like that sounds quite good. I like
the sound of it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
So that is Mike Nick, Nick and Alice. That's on Disney,
plus Francesca's first film for Us This Morning is shown
in cinemas. That's the drama, And honestly, I really think
I'm gonna have to go and see that, if only
to resolve what this big secret might be.
