Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is Clearzy Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast Look, we caught up with
Emma Booth, Australian actress model from Paper Dolls.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Ben O'Shea reviews bottom stuff. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm not sure why Dave Grohl needs a sign so
he doesn't swear on stage. Be big swear Joe, wouldn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Ah, He's a bit sweary.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
This looks very intriguing for anyone who lived through this
period of time. Paper Dolls begins on Sunday on Paramount
It Stars Wa Zone Emma Booth, Good morning, Emma, Hello,
Hi guys.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Emma.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
The trailer for Paper Dolls is giving us very much
bardo on pop Stars Vibes. Tell us you know just
quickly what the show is about and about your character, Margo.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Paper Dolls is about the rise and fall of a
popular girl band in the year two thousand and I
play Margot Murray. So she's the publicity director and she's
really balls, the career driven woman who's basically trying to
make it in a man's world. But you know, it's
kind of an exploration of power and to kind of
(01:15):
look at the undercurrent of the music industry at that time.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, and what a strange time it was. So this
is actually based on the concept from Belinda Chappel who
was in Bardo and I've heard a podcast recently with
Belinda in and that group had everything. They had, a
thief in the bandy, a jealousy, they had betrayal. That
sounds like a show.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Oh you need the drama. It's all about the drama,
and this show is very, very dramatic, so you're going
to get a lot of that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
An all female team has created the show, and I
imagine you know, when you mentioned it, it's a girl
band in the year two thousand. It must shed a
light on the darker pre me to era for women
in the music industry.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That was some of the worst times.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah, oh absolutely, I know. So things are obviously very
different these days, but back then it was like, you know,
you had to fight to get a seat at the
table and to be seen as an equal. So it's
really interesting we really get to explore that in this show,
which is you know, it's quite confronting.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And for the girls in the band, So that you
know themselves, so there's no doubt we knew at the
time these people were being exploited. Now when you look
back on it, it's it's it's uncomfortable. I mean, I
just read Britney Spears book for example, the whole I
haven't read that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was curious. I had to have a look. It
won't take you long.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's a quick rate.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It is a pretty quick a big fight.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
So I'm sure I'll actually love it. I love it
and I'm going to go, I'm go get a coffee now.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
It is fascinating, But it was it was a an
unc you know. To look back on it and uncomfortable time.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Oh absolutely, you know. And to be honest, I'm sure
it still exists now. It's not completely gone, the media
movement very much. Yeah, you know, it's it's still there.
And I think that's this show really kind of explores that,
you know, the suppression and the abuse of power that
these young artists, you know, I had to face.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
We're young, Yeah, that's right, and vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
There are so many yeah, I mean rock and rolls
a littered with young people who signed contracts and signed
things away. But even more so especially in the bands
that were put together, in manufactured bands.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh absolutely, you know, it's like signing your life away
and also your identity, you know, kind of like you
will be who we want you to be. It's yeah,
it's just a really confronting thing. So but that's when
my character comes into it. And I can't give too
much to life, no, but you will see what happens
(03:58):
my I think my character is a bit of a
she's a powerhouse, bit of a rock star. She's you know,
kind of comes along and her intention is to create
change and whatnot. But I can't go too much into her. Yeah,
it was a very cool character to play. She was
awesome and I got the role literally, you know, I
got a phone call, I got the offer, and then
(04:19):
I said, okay, this looks great. When are they shooting it?
Sound like you're a flyer in a day. So I
was literally on a plane and out to Sydney and
then straight on set a week later. So it was
very fast, but it was a lot of fun shooting
and the girls were just phenomenal. I think that was
probably one of my biggest concern signing on. I was like,
(04:40):
how are you going to find five girls that can
sing and act, but not just act face some really
full on things, concepts and stuff that they have to
you know, do we want really incredible dramatic actresses. And
so it was a really long casting process, I think
five months oh wow to find the girls. But then
(05:00):
when I started to work with them, I was like,
oh my god, every single one of them were just
absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
It's more round us completely completely.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I mean I say, when often started a real band, now.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
May be huge.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's so good, so good, and the music is so
fantastic as well. Yes, I think that will be released.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, what pop songs? Do you have a soft spot for?
Or bands?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh god?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
You know, back in those days I was a bit
of a fan of in Vogue. Oh yeah, I love
Britney Spears still do.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh look, I have to go through the old record
collections to be honest.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You for your mind, yours will follow my head.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That there's a show sort of head towards focusing when
we talk about the modern the money and the things
that are surrendered. They stick a bunch of girls in
a house or whatever it might be, but do they
focus on the body issues as well? They had to
be a certain size and eating disorders come in when
they have to wear certain outfits.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Touch on that.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Oh, look, it is briefly touched on, because you know,
that was something of the era, but times have changed
so much and it's so welcomed. It's kind of like
be your individual self now and that's what people love
and that's what sells, which is so refreshing. But yeah,
of course it was. That was definitely a hot topic
in those days. And then it's briefly touched on in
(06:27):
the show, for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
So you live in Florida now, which is quite different
to I believe you were born in Denmark, in Australia,
in Western Australia. Yeah, as in our Denmark.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I'm not in Europe. Yeah yeah, yeah, so that must
be a bit different.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It is, but you know, I was modeling from fifteen
years old. I was first living in Tokyo, and so
I've been traveling pretty much most of my life. Yes,
and for me, you know, it's not that weird. I
love it here. It's really great. We ended up moving
during the lockdown because we're in Hollywood, Okay, family here,
(07:09):
my husband does and it was like, well, it's open,
it's one of the few places that are open and
we're going there.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, great weather.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I was just actually talking to someone recently about that
whole Tokyo modeling era.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That was, I believe, a very fun time to be alive.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
It was.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
How do you know, she said, so, what happened in
Tokyo stays in Tokyo.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
But she just said it was She's talking about the nineties,
so it might be a little early for you, but
she said it was a happening the city thousands.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, he really was, Like so many models came from
all around the world to model there because he made
great money and it was just fun. I mean most
of us were just out partying, yes to night. Sorry,
mom found the photos. Yeah, and it was just it
(08:09):
was just so fun. And I love the culture there.
I'm with Japan, yes, and so I spent seven years
here on and off. Yeah, so on and so yeah,
I was hanging to go back there.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It's very popular at the moment. People love to go
skiing there. Every second person you're talking like, oh, I'm
going skiing in Japan. Okay, Yeah, nice for your half
your love.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, I hope the birth you didn't get out
of bed for less than ten grand in those days.
Absolutely not, thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Can we talk about improvising and acting for a moment?
Is licking Billy Bob Thornton's head Devil Speak the Master? Yeah,
the most random improvisation you've.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Just room Billy, really random. Yeah, he's amazing in general
and a complete gentleman. And I did Yeah, it was
just yeah, he's it was a weird thing and I
was like, just go for it. Some strange things happened
hands when in places and I was like, oh my god,
what do I do?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
His head?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
That's kind of where that came from.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Click his head.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
But you know what, it worked everything in that film. Yeah,
just licked the head.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It does, that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Billy then was going on this same Oh yeah, I

That's so true there really is. It's a very special
place and where we live on Bustleturn were right on
the beach, there a broad water and often you go
down then there's no one there and it's so it's
just it's a very spiritual place for me. Beautiful certainly
can't go here and be on your own. We're very spoiled,
(10:21):
a little bit hard.
Speaker 3 (10:23):

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Today is November thirty.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It's a date that a lot of Fleetwood mac fans
will remember because a year ago today we lost that
beautiful songbird herself with Max Christine McVie.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I believe it's a year.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I can't well, I can actually this year has gone
so quickly, but I feel like it actually feels like longer.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Ye, Look, we lost year is so missed.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, we lost that beautiful voice, that voice, her songwriting
skills and the wonderful work on keyboards for all those years,
and after the induction into the Rock and All Hall
of Fame for Fleet were back, Christine retired. That was
nineteen ninety eight and then a few years later was
never Yeah, I ran about twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. She
went a bit borded, a bit bored home in London,
I'm and she went back out on the road.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And see if they've stopped arguing yet.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah, reached the band.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We saw her in Perth with when Neil Finn joined
the band, you know, when Lindsay was off their own,
not Lindsay's fault, and so it was wonderful to see
him in Perth one more time. But you get the
feeling Stevi Ennix has been mourning for the full year,
don't you know? This was her not long after her
wonderful band mate and friend that's away.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
It's really nice to say, we just that she's been
still here and that's I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Trying to.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Thank you for.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You can hear the band just because Stevie was breaking
down at that point, and you hear the band just
sort of meandering waiting for her to come back.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, it was not long after we lost Christine.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Her song her songs will last forever, talking about over
fifty songs you write and sang on for fleetwand BAC
over the years, and some beauties over my head and everywhere,
and you might love and fun Claisy at lasta remembering
Christine McVey a year after we lost the Fleet back Superstar.

to swear during their recent recent show in Abu Dhabi.

Really it was written all.

In caps, placed right in front of him on the stage.

or something absolutely more clezy.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
More Lisa More podcasts soon.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Bread the Flick with ben O'she on ninety six a FM.
Ben We've been intrigued for days now with what it
is that you're reviewing.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
I feel like you've built it up so much now
and maybe set some unrealistic expectations in the minds in
the listeners. I was listening on the way in this
morning podcast. I heard you say that ben O'she is
coming out to talk about Bottoms. I don't know what
people think I'm here to do today plug an OnlyFans account.
I don't know what, but I can tell you that.
So this new comedy, it's a coming of age kind
(15:53):
of teen comedy, and it's called Bottoms. But even though
there are some bits of it that a little bit risky,
it's not about bottoms. It's not about Dairris Buttocks, nothing
like that. It is about these two friends, these two
BFFs that are the bottom of the food chain in
the social hierarchy in their high school. So they're the
(16:15):
bottom the bottom dwellers, the bottom feeders. So that's basically
where the bottoms comes from, right, So it's about there.
You can you can imagine it is if you like.
And so there are these movies are a dime a dozen, right,
and most of them are pretty forgettable. You've got the
all time classics, like you've got your mean Girls and
your Heathers and You're Clueless and You're super Bad. Heathers
(16:39):
was such a good film, super Bad, and so you've
got some awesome films there. And this might be a
bit controversial to some people, but I will say the
bottoms just as good as any of them. Really, like
is an absolute cracker. I went in with very crack
tempered expectations. How many bottom how many bottom joke get
(17:00):
any one fellows ound effect for that Listen, I don't
want to be the butt of any jokes here.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And now I'll throw it over to you guys. But
so living in the film tells a story.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
The film tells the story of these two BFFs, PJ
and Josie, who are lesbians. They're virgins. And so just
like in super Bad, where the boys in that film go,
you know what we're going to college next year after
finishing high school. So you know, the pop the cherry,
let's like get it done before we go to high school,
before we go to college, and you know, and then
we'll be laughing at they take. They take the same
(17:32):
kind of approach, right, but they're the bottom.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Twenty twenty three style.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Three styles, so very much so and so and they
realize that, you know, that the ultimate would be if
they can hook up with the two hottest cheerleaders in
high school. So they set their sights very high. And
one of these cheerleaders will look very familiar to viewers
because she's the daughter of Cindy Crawford. Kaya she looks
(17:57):
exactly like Sidney Crawford, and so she is she is
one of the cheerleaders. But they can't even talk to them.
They don't have any way of interacting with these cheerleaders.
So they realize the best strategy will be if they
start a self defense club for all of the girls
in the high school. But because they don't know anything
about self defense, it basically just devolves into a fight
club and instead of teaching them anything really useful, they
(18:19):
just get all the high school girls into the gymnasium
and go all right, well, let's just like beat the
Jesus out of each other and hopefully we learn something
along the way. And it becomes so popular that these
two girls, PJ and Josie becomes sort of, you know,
cult figures in the high school. And so they're loving life.
They're getting closer forming bonds with these cheerleaders as they're
sort of wrestling in the gym under the watchful supervision
(18:40):
of their really disinterested history teacher who's going through his
own divorce. For NFL, yes, exactly, and the casting is
quite incredible here. They've cast NFL superstar mush On Lynch,
who was known as Beast Mode in the NFL because
he's just insane. He's retired now and he's fantastic. It
could be the new sort of like Snoop Dogg kind
(19:02):
of crossover from another industry into movie. No, no, definitely
not the next. And so but as they get more
and more popular, it leads to its own problem. So
it starts to create friction within their really tight friendship group,
and it also creates this jealousy and envy with the
high school football team, who were used to being the
(19:23):
top of the food chain, but all of a sudden,
everybody's more interested in this all girl.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Fight clubs aren't happy.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
The jocks aren't happy, so the jocks try to get
back at the girls, which kind of starts this tit
for tat battle between the two groups, and it all
culminates in the final, you know, sort of homecoming football
game where a rival football team is coming to town
and they've got their own agenda as well, which creates
a little bit of danger. And now this is an
(19:49):
over the top satire, so you know, it's a sort
of movie that isn't fully grounded in reality. Like you've
got the jocks who are walking around and sitting in
class in their full football game, which is not something
that actually it happens in real life.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But the way the.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Film leans into it is so fun that you go
along with it, and you go, you know what, that's fine.
I can live with it because the satire of social
conventions and gender and sexuality is so legit you kind
of forgive all of these extra things. You forgive the
fact that the plot is kind of nonsensical because the
(20:24):
statements that it makes about high school life and just
society in general, like really solid, like as good as
a lot of serious, highbrow comedies while wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You can do that, you can twist the two together. Yeah, yeah,
it's good.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
It's wowing, wowing a lot of critics like myself around
the world. So like people like the New York Times
have loved it, The La Times have loved it, The
Washington Post loves it. It is a film that I
think will go down as one of the best comedies
of twenty twenty three, and it deserves to be, Like
I would say it's better than Bridesmaids, better than Bridesmaids.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So you did mention and you mentioned super Bad. That's
Judd Apatel does get as silly as that, because that
is very silly.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
So it probably doesn't get quite as silly as that,
and it probably ends up having a little bit more
heart too, like a real kind of emotional depth, which
you know is probably not a surprise when you go
from a film about teenage boys to a film about
teenage girls.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It's a little bit.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
More thoughtful, but it is also hilarious, Like it is
genuinely hilarious. And for fans of The Bear the Excellent
Show on Disney plus so ao Eda Berry who plays
Sydney in The Bear, is one of the main characters
she plays. She plays Josie and is awesome, Like, she
is so funny and she's fantastic in this is well.
(21:42):
Rachel Sennet is the other league character who's also amazing.
It's a really good young cast, a lot of faces
that people might not be familiar with, apart from Kay
Gerber who looks like her mum. But aside from that,
like I thoroughly recommend this, people.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Can see it all right, Well, how many first rule
of bottoms is don't talk about trips bottom club.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
How are you giving I'm going to give this four.
It's a ripper. By the way, you did mention tit
for tat. You broke the rules. It was just be
about bottoms man. Yeah, well done.

This is Clearzy Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast Look, we caught up with
Emma Booth, Australian actress model from Paper Dolls.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Ben O'Shea reviews bottom stuff. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm not sure why Dave Grohl needs a sign so
he doesn't swear on stage. Be big swear Joe, wouldn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Ah, He's a bit sweary.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
This looks very intriguing for anyone who lived through this
period of time. Paper Dolls begins on Sunday on Paramount
It Stars Wa Zone Emma Booth, Good morning, Emma, Hello,
Hi guys.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Emma.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
The trailer for Paper Dolls is giving us very much
bardo on pop Stars Vibes. Tell us you know just
quickly what the show is about and about your character, Margo.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Paper Dolls is about the rise and fall of a
popular girl band in the year two thousand and I
play Margot Murray. So she's the publicity director and she's
really balls, the career driven woman who's basically trying to
make it in a man's world. But you know, it's
kind of an exploration of power and to kind of
(01:15):
look at the undercurrent of the music industry at that time.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, and what a strange time it was. So this
is actually based on the concept from Belinda Chappel who
was in Bardo and I've heard a podcast recently with
Belinda in and that group had everything. They had, a
thief in the bandy, a jealousy, they had betrayal. That
sounds like a show.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Oh you need the drama. It's all about the drama,
and this show is very, very dramatic, so you're going
to get a lot of that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
An all female team has created the show, and I
imagine you know, when you mentioned it, it's a girl
band in the year two thousand. It must shed a
light on the darker pre me to era for women
in the music industry.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That was some of the worst times.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah, oh absolutely, I know. So things are obviously very
different these days, but back then it was like, you know,
you had to fight to get a seat at the
table and to be seen as an equal. So it's
really interesting we really get to explore that in this show,
which is you know, it's quite confronting.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And for the girls in the band, So that you
know themselves, so there's no doubt we knew at the
time these people were being exploited. Now when you look
back on it, it's it's it's uncomfortable. I mean, I
just read Britney Spears book for example, the whole I
haven't read that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was curious. I had to have a look. It
won't take you long.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's a quick rate.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It is a pretty quick a big fight.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
So I'm sure I'll actually love it. I love it
and I'm going to go, I'm go get a coffee now.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
It is fascinating, But it was it was a an
unc you know. To look back on it and uncomfortable time.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Oh absolutely, you know. And to be honest, I'm sure
it still exists now. It's not completely gone, the media
movement very much. Yeah, you know, it's it's still there.
And I think that's this show really kind of explores that,
you know, the suppression and the abuse of power that
these young artists, you know, I had to face.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
We're young, Yeah, that's right, and vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
There are so many yeah, I mean rock and rolls
a littered with young people who signed contracts and signed
things away. But even more so especially in the bands
that were put together, in manufactured bands.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh absolutely, you know, it's like signing your life away
and also your identity, you know, kind of like you
will be who we want you to be. It's yeah,
it's just a really confronting thing. So but that's when
my character comes into it. And I can't give too
much to life, no, but you will see what happens
(03:58):
my I think my character is a bit of a
she's a powerhouse, bit of a rock star. She's you know,
kind of comes along and her intention is to create
change and whatnot. But I can't go too much into her. Yeah,
it was a very cool character to play. She was
awesome and I got the role literally, you know, I
got a phone call, I got the offer, and then
(04:19):
I said, okay, this looks great. When are they shooting it?
Sound like you're a flyer in a day. So I
was literally on a plane and out to Sydney and
then straight on set a week later. So it was
very fast, but it was a lot of fun shooting
and the girls were just phenomenal. I think that was
probably one of my biggest concern signing on. I was like,
(04:40):
how are you going to find five girls that can
sing and act, but not just act face some really
full on things, concepts and stuff that they have to
you know, do we want really incredible dramatic actresses. And
so it was a really long casting process, I think
five months oh wow to find the girls. But then
(05:00):
when I started to work with them, I was like,
oh my god, every single one of them were just
absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
It's more round us completely completely.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I mean I say, when often started a real band, now.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
May be huge.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's so good, so good, and the music is so
fantastic as well. Yes, I think that will be released.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, what pop songs? Do you have a soft spot for?
Or bands?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh god?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
You know, back in those days I was a bit
of a fan of in Vogue. Oh yeah, I love
Britney Spears still do.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh look, I have to go through the old record
collections to be honest.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You for your mind, yours will follow my head.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That there's a show sort of head towards focusing when
we talk about the modern the money and the things
that are surrendered. They stick a bunch of girls in
a house or whatever it might be, but do they
focus on the body issues as well? They had to
be a certain size and eating disorders come in when
they have to wear certain outfits.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Touch on that.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Oh, look, it is briefly touched on, because you know,
that was something of the era, but times have changed
so much and it's so welcomed. It's kind of like
be your individual self now and that's what people love
and that's what sells, which is so refreshing. But yeah,
of course it was. That was definitely a hot topic
in those days. And then it's briefly touched on in
(06:27):
the show, for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
So you live in Florida now, which is quite different
to I believe you were born in Denmark, in Australia,
in Western Australia. Yeah, as in our Denmark.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I'm not in Europe. Yeah yeah, yeah, so that must
be a bit different.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It is, but you know, I was modeling from fifteen
years old. I was first living in Tokyo, and so
I've been traveling pretty much most of my life. Yes,
and for me, you know, it's not that weird. I
love it here. It's really great. We ended up moving
during the lockdown because we're in Hollywood, Okay, family here,
(07:09):
my husband does and it was like, well, it's open,
it's one of the few places that are open and
we're going there.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, great weather.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I was just actually talking to someone recently about that
whole Tokyo modeling era.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That was, I believe, a very fun time to be alive.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
It was.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
How do you know, she said, so, what happened in
Tokyo stays in Tokyo.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
But she just said it was She's talking about the nineties,
so it might be a little early for you, but
she said it was a happening the city thousands.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, he really was, Like so many models came from
all around the world to model there because he made
great money and it was just fun. I mean most
of us were just out partying, yes to night. Sorry,
mom found the photos. Yeah, and it was just it
(08:09):
was just so fun. And I love the culture there.
I'm with Japan, yes, and so I spent seven years
here on and off. Yeah, so on and so yeah,
I was hanging to go back there.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It's very popular at the moment. People love to go
skiing there. Every second person you're talking like, oh, I'm
going skiing in Japan. Okay, Yeah, nice for your half
your love.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, I hope the birth you didn't get out
of bed for less than ten grand in those days.
Absolutely not, thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Can we talk about improvising and acting for a moment?
Is licking Billy Bob Thornton's head Devil Speak the Master? Yeah,
the most random improvisation you've.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Just room Billy, really random. Yeah, he's amazing in general
and a complete gentleman. And I did Yeah, it was
just yeah, he's it was a weird thing and I
was like, just go for it. Some strange things happened
hands when in places and I was like, oh my god,
what do I do?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
His head?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
That's kind of where that came from.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Click his head.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
But you know what, it worked everything in that film. Yeah,
just licked the head.
Speaker 5 (09:31):

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Billy then was going on this same Oh yeah, I

That's so true there really is. It's a very special
place and where we live on Bustleturn were right on
the beach, there a broad water and often you go
down then there's no one there and it's so it's
just it's a very spiritual place for me. Beautiful certainly

Today is November thirty.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
It's a date that a lot of Fleetwood mac fans
will remember because a year ago today we lost that
beautiful songbird herself with Max Christine McVie.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I believe it's a year.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I can't well, I can actually this year has gone
so quickly, but I feel like it actually feels like longer.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Ye, Look, we lost year is so missed.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, we lost that beautiful voice, that voice, her songwriting
skills and the wonderful work on keyboards for all those years,
and after the induction into the Rock and All Hall
of Fame for Fleet were back, Christine retired. That was
nineteen ninety eight and then a few years later was
never Yeah, I ran about twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. She
went a bit borded, a bit bored home in London,
I'm and she went back out on the road.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And see if they've stopped arguing yet.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah, reached the band.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We saw her in Perth with when Neil Finn joined
the band, you know, when Lindsay was off their own,
not Lindsay's fault, and so it was wonderful to see
him in Perth one more time. But you get the
feeling Stevi Ennix has been mourning for the full year,
don't you know? This was her not long after her
wonderful band mate and friend that's away.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
It's really nice to say, we just that she's been
still here and that's I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Trying to.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Thank you for.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You can hear the band just because Stevie was breaking
down at that point, and you hear the band just
sort of meandering waiting for her to come back.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, it was not long after we lost Christine.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Her song her songs will last forever, talking about over
fifty songs you write and sang on for fleetwand BAC

Speaker 2 (15:15):
More Lisa More podcasts soon.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Bread the Flick with ben O'she on ninety six a FM.
Ben We've been intrigued for days now with what it
is that you're reviewing.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
I feel like you've built it up so much now
and maybe set some unrealistic expectations in the minds in
the listeners. I was listening on the way in this
morning podcast. I heard you say that ben O'she is
coming out to talk about Bottoms. I don't know what
people think I'm here to do today plug an OnlyFans account.
I don't know what, but I can tell you that.
So this new comedy, it's a coming of age kind
(15:53):
of teen comedy, and it's called Bottoms. But even though
there are some bits of it that a little bit risky,
it's not about bottoms. It's not about Dairris Buttocks, nothing
like that. It is about these two friends, these two
BFFs that are the bottom of the food chain in
the social hierarchy in their high school. So they're the
(16:15):
bottom the bottom dwellers, the bottom feeders. So that's basically
where the bottoms comes from, right, So it's about there.
You can you can imagine it is if you like.
And so there are these movies are a dime a dozen, right,
and most of them are pretty forgettable. You've got the
all time classics, like you've got your mean Girls and
your Heathers and You're Clueless and You're super Bad. Heathers
(16:39):
was such a good film, super Bad, and so you've
got some awesome films there. And this might be a
bit controversial to some people, but I will say the
bottoms just as good as any of them. Really, like
is an absolute cracker. I went in with very crack
tempered expectations. How many bottom how many bottom joke get
(17:00):
any one fellows ound effect for that Listen, I don't
want to be the butt of any jokes here.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And now I'll throw it over to you guys. But
so living in the film tells a story.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
The film tells the story of these two BFFs, PJ
and Josie, who are lesbians. They're virgins. And so just
like in super Bad, where the boys in that film go,
you know what we're going to college next year after
finishing high school. So you know, the pop the cherry,
let's like get it done before we go to high school,
before we go to college, and you know, and then
we'll be laughing at they take. They take the same
(17:32):
kind of approach, right, but they're the bottom.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Twenty twenty three style.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Three styles, so very much so and so and they
realize that, you know, that the ultimate would be if
they can hook up with the two hottest cheerleaders in
high school. So they set their sights very high. And
one of these cheerleaders will look very familiar to viewers
because she's the daughter of Cindy Crawford. Kaya she looks
(17:57):
exactly like Sidney Crawford, and so she is she is
one of the cheerleaders. But they can't even talk to them.
They don't have any way of interacting with these cheerleaders.
So they realize the best strategy will be if they
start a self defense club for all of the girls
in the high school. But because they don't know anything
about self defense, it basically just devolves into a fight
club and instead of teaching them anything really useful, they
(18:19):
just get all the high school girls into the gymnasium
and go all right, well, let's just like beat the
Jesus out of each other and hopefully we learn something
along the way. And it becomes so popular that these
two girls, PJ and Josie becomes sort of, you know,
cult figures in the high school. And so they're loving life.
They're getting closer forming bonds with these cheerleaders as they're
sort of wrestling in the gym under the watchful supervision
(18:40):
of their really disinterested history teacher who's going through his
own divorce. For NFL, yes, exactly, and the casting is
quite incredible here. They've cast NFL superstar mush On Lynch,
who was known as Beast Mode in the NFL because
he's just insane. He's retired now and he's fantastic. It
could be the new sort of like Snoop Dogg kind
(19:02):
of crossover from another industry into movie. No, no, definitely
not the next. And so but as they get more
and more popular, it leads to its own problem. So
it starts to create friction within their really tight friendship group,
and it also creates this jealousy and envy with the
high school football team, who were used to being the
(19:23):
top of the food chain, but all of a sudden,
everybody's more interested in this all girl.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Fight clubs aren't happy.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
The jocks aren't happy, so the jocks try to get
back at the girls, which kind of starts this tit
for tat battle between the two groups, and it all
culminates in the final, you know, sort of homecoming football
game where a rival football team is coming to town
and they've got their own agenda as well, which creates
a little bit of danger. And now this is an
(19:49):
over the top satire, so you know, it's a sort
of movie that isn't fully grounded in reality. Like you've
got the jocks who are walking around and sitting in
class in their full football game, which is not something
that actually it happens in real life.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But the way the.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Film leans into it is so fun that you go
along with it, and you go, you know what, that's fine.
I can live with it because the satire of social
conventions and gender and sexuality is so legit you kind
of forgive all of these extra things. You forgive the
fact that the plot is kind of nonsensical because the
(20:24):
statements that it makes about high school life and just
society in general, like really solid, like as good as
a lot of serious, highbrow comedies while wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You can do that, you can twist the two together. Yeah, yeah,
it's good.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
It's wowing, wowing a lot of critics like myself around
the world. So like people like the New York Times
have loved it, The La Times have loved it, The
Washington Post loves it. It is a film that I
think will go down as one of the best comedies
of twenty twenty three, and it deserves to be, Like
I would say it's better than Bridesmaids, better than Bridesmaids.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So you did mention and you mentioned super Bad. That's
Judd Apatel does get as silly as that, because that
is very silly.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
So it probably doesn't get quite as silly as that,
and it probably ends up having a little bit more
heart too, like a real kind of emotional depth, which
you know is probably not a surprise when you go
from a film about teenage boys to a film about
teenage girls.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It's a little bit.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
More thoughtful, but it is also hilarious, Like it is
genuinely hilarious. And for fans of The Bear the Excellent
Show on Disney plus so ao Eda Berry who plays
Sydney in The Bear, is one of the main characters
she plays. She plays Josie and is awesome, Like, she
is so funny and she's fantastic in this is well.
(21:42):
Rachel Sennet is the other league character who's also amazing.
It's a really good young cast, a lot of faces
that people might not be familiar with, apart from Kay
Gerber who looks like her mum. But aside from that,
like I thoroughly recommend this, people.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Can see it all right, Well, how many first rule
of bottoms is don't talk about trips bottom club.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
How are you giving I'm going to give this four.
It's a ripper. By the way, you did mention tit
for tat. You broke the rules. It was just be
about bottoms man. Yeah, well done.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
