You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast
from News Talks at Back.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Stalbaster Stacketer Bred Far Brick Stalbaster Stacketer.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
This is Mel Parson's new track. It's called Brick by Brick.
She's got a tour kicking off really soon, and a
little Booty has told us that a new album is
not far away as well. It is twenty five minutes
to teen on News Talks at B, which means it's
time to get your film pics for this weekend. Francisca Radkin,
our film reviewer, is here this morning. Hey Francisca, good morning. Okay,
(00:50):
we've got two films, both of them showing in cinemas
this morning, so let's start off by having a little
bit of a listen to the Salt Path. What is
it five hundred miles?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh like six hundred?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Are you walking the path yesterday?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's a long old hike.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, retired homeless. Actually you're ready. I can't legs, but
often that good go.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
This has the great Jillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs tell
us about the whole path.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Oh well, you know that I love a good walk,
don't you, Jack?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
You usually run your walks that's the difference.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yeah, Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful up in the white taxes,
this srning if you look for something to do, if you're.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Ant, I mean what I have ridiculous to even start
off with a with a brag like that, you've already
you've already been out. Yeah, I haven't even broken ten am,
and Francis has already made her way up into the
white tack and she's done. I'm probably she's probably done,
like a half marathon or something like that. It's a short,
and there's not all all the regular here's an oxymoron.
(01:55):
A short ten a.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Short t Now look to the film so but it
will make you want to go walking. It's this film
is based on the Southwest Coast Path and Southwest England,
six hundred and thirty miles, but it's also a film
about a middle aged couple who lose their home. They
lose their farm through a bad investment. The kids are
off studying and working and so the kids are sort
(02:19):
of able to look after themselves a bit, but they
find themselves homeless and they're living on a benefit which
is forty pounds a week, and they have no idea
what they're going to do and how they're going to survive,
and they come up with this idea they'll go, They'll
just walk. They'll walk and they'll camp on this track.
Win and Moth are the names of these people. This
(02:40):
is actually based on Win's book that she wrote about
Sorry Rayner's book ray Want to Win, her book that
she wrote about the Walk, and so it's based on
a true story. Moth has also just been had a
terminal diagnosis and he's actually really struggling to walk. So
he's got this kind of very very rare disease and
(03:02):
things and it's terminal and things don't look good, and
yet they still go, this is our only option. Beautiful
performances by the two. There is absolutely no vanity in
their portrayal of these characters. You know, they are just
You see them become very windblowing and sun burnt as
you would expect. The scenery is beautiful, as you would expect.
(03:23):
But what I loved about this story is it's kind
of really it's a bit of a love story. Actually,
it's very touching. It's about two people who find themselves
in a really difficult situation, who embrace their adversity and
kind of get on with it, and you see all
the nuances of this challenge. You see the physical difficulties,
you see it, you know, obviously homelessness, and then when
(03:43):
winter arrives, the helplessness they feel when it comes to
their children and not being there for them and the
hopelessness of their situation. And as time goes by, you know,
walking they sort of become at one with nature, they
learn about themselves, and they even though they take a
break over winter, they kind of look at each other
and go, actually, we need to be on this. We
(04:04):
need to be walking, We need to be on this part.
So not the scenery does do a lot of work
for this film, but I think it's the performances that
draw you in on this journey really is sabulous.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Okay, great, Okay, And that's the salt path. I do
love Jillian Anderson so alone.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
She's beautiful in that. She really is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Okay. So that's the salt path that showing in cinemas.
Also showing in cinemas something completely different. Final Destination, Bloodlines.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Family.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You don't get to pick the one you get, just
gotta love the one you got.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It death is coming for our family, right well, it sounds.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So normally by the time you get to a sixth
film and a franchise, Jack, I'm losing interesting. But interestingly,
there might just be life in this franchise yet. This
is the sixth film. It's been going for twenty five years.
It's been fourteen years without a new movie, so I
was quite intrigued to see what they did here. And
I wouldn't call it so much a reboot, but they
(05:15):
have kind of tried to put a bit of a
twist on the formula, the Final Destination formula, and they've
also kind of the films have often always been very standalone,
but they have made some lovely connections here back to
previous films, but you don't need to have seen any
of them. It opens in the sixties. This young couple
head to this new Skyview restaurant, which is like the
(05:36):
Sky Tower in Aukland. They're going up the elevator and
they're told that the tower was completed ahead of time,
which makes Iris a little bit concerned that maybe that's
not such a good thing. And as the night wears on,
the dance for in this restaurant gives way Jack, leading
to the most gruesome series of deaths as the tower collapses.
And I should probably say at this point, look, the
Final Destination films are all about how a small series
(06:00):
of events like flipping a coin off the top of
this tower can lead to massive traumatic accidences, accidents, and
you know, and they are known for very creative, gruesome death.
This film loves to be gory but also really funny,
and death is kind of a main unseen character in
(06:20):
these films, so that's kind of that's the way they roll.
But this restaurant scene is both a premonition and a dream.
A dream. So Iris has this premonition in the sixties
and she saves all these people, but her granddaughter Stefani,
many years later, is having the same dream as well.
And what happens is that if you cheat death, death
does not forget that and death will come after you.
(06:43):
And Stefani, like her grandmother, Iris, can see it in
the universe and feel death coming. Oh it's totally batty
and just great son. So she works out the Iris. Yeah,
so Iris didn't die, but now the whole family does
have to die, and they have to stop trying and
find a way to prevent that from happening. They have
to cheat death again. Look once again, the deaths are ghastly,
(07:03):
really imaginative. I laughed as much as I kind of
flail balms around. Right in this film, there's as many
frights as there are lives. And actually, I'm going to
give them some credit here. I think they've actually done
a really good job of bringing you know, bringing this
bringing this franchise back and entertaining the audience who have
loved it for twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh very good. Okay, that's Final Destination blood Lines, Francisca's
first film, The Salt Path. Both of those are in
cinemas at the moment, and we'll put all of the
details up on the news talks. He'd be website. Thank you, Francisca.
You will let you just go and I don't know,
do an ultra marathon this afternoon or something just really
casual and chill like that. Oh she's gone, there's it,
she's on the track. You see, this is the problem.
(07:45):
Don't forget if you feel like, I don't know, maybe
after watching Final Destination blood Lines you feel like something
just a little bit different. The French Film Festival is
kicking off later this month from Keddy Kendy to duned
and there are going to be twenty three films showing
in the festival this year, from thrillers, dramas, comedies and
