Speaker 2 (00:24):
What's going on, Lias?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
At our place, we got our couch was falling apart,
So we've got a new couch.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
O nice. I love a new couch.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
New couch, new catch smell. However, we brought it about
six months ago, so it's finally arrived. Yes, we're not
the only people sitting in a que waiting for their furniture.
It's like a lot of people buying furniture going oh, yeah,
you'll get it in September. Really, so now that we've
got the couch, then that's when the hard work starts
because we've got the scratchy cat. So at home right
(00:51):
now it's like a military operation trying to find ways
to cover the couch when there's no visitors over whatever.
To stop the cat from scratching hell out of the
new couch, She's going to go for the legs.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
She goes for the.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Legs for the new material that stretch. Ye loves the
smell of the material. So it's got right now, This
new couch has got I reckon about four old sheets
and about the couple of bulldog clips holding it together.
And Laurie's been going to town on it's a couple
of towels on the armrests.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And all the rest of it. No, it's not. It's
really quite.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
But I don't mind all of that if it stops
the new couch from getting scratched out.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
How long are you going to have to have it
like that for?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I don't know. It's not my I'm not doing it.
I'm just watching it in progress.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right. Do you think she'll give up?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I think so. I hope so, yeah, maybe they'll come
off with me. You know when you have visitor scratching posts. Yeah,
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, Well she has got a scratching post, so I
don't know why she doesn't use that. You know what
it's like when you buy the cat's things. But I
don't mind the sheets on the couch. I just hate cushions.
I hate cushions. Drive me crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
What kind of philistine doesn't like cushions on the cout
love that word, philister, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I love?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
There are four cushions on the couch and I go
to sit down and I have to put them on
the floor.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
That's barely enough for I like them all over the couch, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But I love cushions.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
But I will say, anyone can give me a tip
on how to keep them fully forfed, I will just
be indebted to you forever, because I find they go
flat pretty easily.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah. What are they putting in the cheap cushions by.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
The way, really okay, not like eleven dollar specials or anything.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
They know what's in.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
They used to put real respect, stood down and stuff
in them.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, they squish down and then they're no longer amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
But we digress. I don't like cushions, philistine.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yes, okay, well what about on the bed because they
go on the floor as well.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, I'll throw them at the cat when she cho
you don't have to. So here's the thing about men
and not understanding the pillows on the bed. You don't
need to understand yours is not to understand yours is
only to put them back in the order they came off.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Them.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
That's all you have to concern yourself with. You don't
have to understand, Just put them back on.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Can you give me some stickets to put numbers on
them so I know where they go? Give me a diagram.
There's always a fairly obvious passion.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Bloody cushions and drive me crazy and I will be
called a philistine every day because I don't care they
go flying round the room. Tell you what makes me
popular at home? I bet I'm sorry, rhymes. Give us
a call, Give us a call to day. There's something
in your house that drives you crazy, and I want
you to mention a person.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Do you know what it is that drives me crazy?
Down lights?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I love them, but I swear I've blown a transformer
every time I've tried to change one. And here's the
reason why I hate them even more now. I had
an electrician recently. Tell me don't worry. Those ones you've
got now are going to outlast you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh that's nice. How very shat you that I'm paying you?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
H out.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's funny anyway. Marry in Secret Harbor, Hello, Hey Mary,
good guys. What is the thing in your house? It
just does your head in?
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Okay, So I'm genuinely diagnosed with ADHD, right yep. So
I just don't get things finished a lot. So we've
got a back sliding glass door in the laundry we
have to go through twice a day. This thing's been
off its trails for about twelve months. And I struggle
with this thing like a crocodile. Every time I got out,
I scream, I swear. My wife's in the back room, going,
(04:37):
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Let me freaking door?
Speaker 7 (04:40):
And I just can't get it out, and I'm going
to put my back to it and squeeze it open.
And I do that every day, and I come out
angry and frustrated, and I go, I fix that.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
One name that's that angers and frustrates everyone when the
old sliding door is off the damn rails.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
But little wheels tugging of those, it's just so annoying.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
It's I'm not an angry person, but that really.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
It is the little things that get you over the edge.
Thanks Barry, Barry Crystal in Valdivs.

house that does your head.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
In Well, we move into our new house about five
months ago, and still every single morning and every time
I go in my kitchen, I go to the wrong
end of the island bench to get cutlery.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Out of a drawer.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Memories. Yeah, it's just going to take time.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yes, well I would have thought it wouldn't be five months,
but even our nine year old daughter does exactly the
same thing because it's just the wrong you know, you
check everything with my house.

ol curR estate. It was their houses were built by
our cour in nineteen seventy one for their workers. And
my kitchen is from nineteen seventy one, which was build
a particle board. Now it's fifty odd years old, which
is never going to be a good thing. But my
partner's now flooded the kitchen bench twice, so the particle
boards got soaked. So every time I opened a drawer,
(08:51):
I opened a cupboard, I look at it, all those
little chippy bits of particle board come out. So it's
in the teak house. It's in the saucepans, it's in

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Good luck more more Lisa More podcasts.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So well, just when you thought the world couldn't get
any more bonkers, a woman in Spain is about to
marry an AI hologram. AI has barely taken off and
I'm sorry, yeah, I find I find it alarming, frightening, altogether, undesirable,
(12:04):
not romantic.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Not this woman.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Alicia Framis has announced her plans to wed the hologram
called Alex. It's spelt A I L e X Alex.
She posted about their situationship, that's one word for it,
Alicia on Instagram, saying we know that soon robots and
humans will be sexual partners.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Really okay, but.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
For me, the next important step is emotionally involving artificial
intelligence with humans.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Alex won't be a permanent.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Fixture in Alicia's physical life because that would be too expensive.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Apparently you can do that with a.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Real personel Costure as well. He will be digitally added
to videos and posts on social media, so he's going
to be photo shopped into all her photos and she
calls that a relationship, a marriage. In fact, the wedding
here's the kicker. The wedding is going to be part
of a tour of different museums and venues and you
(13:05):
can check it out at Hybrid's Hybrid Couples on Instagram
for details. So there is you know, there's there's a
reason there. But that sounds like a bit of a
sort of a you know what take, But I am
a little be mused slash horrified. And a couple of
(13:26):
stories of shady you know, bit ghosting shade, I mean
like Hologrammy a bit.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
C through transparent dark way.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But look, just recently, the last couple of weeks, I've
seen a couple of discussions online, a couple of stories
talking about posing the question about having an AI partner
and is this the way of the future?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And there was serious stories, serious art considering I thought
I was being punked.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I kept looking BEHINDE who was going to go you're
not believing this stuff you're reading, are you? Because I mean,
obviously I wasn't because it's AI. It's art to ficial
and it's a worry when you artificial the last time
I checked, means not real.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So multiple multiple times, you're thinking, is it April first?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I absolutely, Look, you know, I'm sure there's a place
for AI. I'm all for technology and all that, but
it's not an actual person, actually your boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Hey, when's the first hologram going to be on maths?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I don't Oh, I don't know that that hasn't already happened.
I'm not I've seen every season. I'm not convinced that
there's not been a bit of a But these were
serious discussions discussing whether you know, you would stick with
real people or make that move into AI.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
But that might be a better way to go. Is
there not real? Am? I am? I? Am? I on
candid Camera? I've long believed I'm We're all on some
find I'm looking for Jim Carrey.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Human show kind of candid Camera and somewhere out there
in a galaxy far away, little green mid life, just.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Themselves live, get multiple heads off. Some people will do
anything to avoid an argument. Read the flick with ben
o'she good morning man, good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Australian Theater, cinema, all of it royalty today.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Weaving, Hugo Weaving. There's a there's a bit of Ossie
Theater and Cinema Royalty in this film. So Hugo Weaving
has got a new film. He's reached a really interesting
time in his career like he's done, he's done at all.
Like his big breakthrough came on TV in the eighties
for the Body Line, Yes series about cricket with Don Bradman.
He played Douglas, the English captain and that was his
(15:55):
first role out of Nier, which was really really impressive performance.
And then he went on to do Ossie films like Proof,
which was a classic, and then.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Of course the moment in different films, different.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Films, very interesting career, and then of course Agent Smith
in The Matrix which is iconic, l Rond in Lord
of the Rings, and so he's done everything really along
the way, and now he's reached a stage in his
career sort of the Jack Thompson era where he's playing
these kind of curmudgeonally characters. But I would say some
(16:26):
of the best work of his entire, long, long career
in acting over the past few years. He was in
The Royal Hotel, that sort of psychological outback thriller which
was which is pretty good. And now in The Rooster.
It's a big call. But I would say this would
be in his top three performances of his life. And
(16:47):
I would say one of my top five Ossie performances
on a cinema screen that I've never seen. That's impressive,
and not that the movie is probably at that level,
but in terms of Hugo Weaving, if you're a Hugo
Weedon fan, or if you just yeah, we just appreciate
fine acting. Oh my gosh, this is just so incredible.
(17:07):
My hair is are standing up on the back of
my neck just thinking. So basically so, it's directed by
Mark Leonard Winter, who's an actor who you might have
seen in the news Reader, the ABC TV series Fires
in Balibo. He's in a bunch of stuff himself escape
from Pretoria, and so now this is one of his
first feature films and it was at Cinny Fest last year.
(17:27):
It was in competition for one hundred thousand dollars prize
and it's, I guess, on the surface level, it's a
tale about loneliness and how blokes in society can feel
loneliness because you know, they don't know how to reach
out and get emotional support, which is a story that
we kind of know, we know that that's a real thing.
And so it follows the journey of this young police
officer who's kind of separated from his wife, he's sort
(17:49):
of living by himself played by Phoenix Rerai, a fairly
new actor to the scene, and he's living in the
bush in central Victoria. He's got a rooster and he
keeps a few chooks. He's got chooks and a rooster then,
and he's kind of struggling with, you know, what's going
on in his personal life, with his wife leaving him
and you know, all that sort of stuff. And then
(18:12):
one day his rooster is eaten by a fox and
he's kind of it kind of really affects him emotional.
And at the same time, his best mate, who he
hasn't really seen for a while they've kind of become
a bit of strange, has died in sort of mysterious
circumstances in the bush. His body's found in the bush
and they're not sure if it's a suicide or what
has happened. He kind of goes out and decides to
(18:34):
camp for a few days at the scene of where
his mate died, just to kind of reconnect emotionally to
what might have happened.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He's having a good run.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
No, he's not having a good run at all. And
while he's in the bush, he like hears some noises
and he sort of realizes there's someone else in the
bush with him, and it's this hermit played by Hugo
Weaving who's lived off the grid for years and years
and years. And then all of a sudden, this fellow
who's a police officer starts to think, well, hang on
a minute, maybe this hermit has actually been involved in
the death of my mate, or at the very least
(19:03):
knows something about it. And so sort of they start
hanging out, and then essentially this young police officer moves
in with Hugo Weaving's character in his little bush hut
and they sort of have this exploration of their own
histories and emotional traumas together, and Hugo Weavings hermit is
a loose unit, like at one moment he almost seems
(19:27):
like a larger than life sort of thispi and he
sort of spouts literature and then he's also drinking, you know,
bottles of red every other minute, and he has this
busted up old ping pong table that he's just set
up in the bush and he just hits the ball
to himself and then he starts playing ping pong and
he says, you know, the point is not to win.
It's just to keep playing. You just got to keep going,
(19:47):
keep getting the ball back, which is kind of his
you know, sort of ethos for life, like that's kind
of his man trait exactly. And so then as as
this sort of unfolds, as these two blokes get to
know each other, you start to realize that, you know,
there's some stuff going on in Hugo Weaving's character's background
that has kind of led to where he is now,
sort of some really really heartbreaking stuff that he's never
(20:09):
really been able to process or get past. And so
his relationship with this young police officer maybe gets him
a bit closer to some of that resolution. And so
it is it's a deeply affecting movie. It's some incredible
scenes in the Victorian Bush, like the nature is a
real character in the film as well, Like you know,
Phoenix RERAI as this young police officer, you know, you know,
(20:32):
maybe not quite to the same level of Hugo Weaving,
but I think the challenge for this young actor is,
you know, like how do you keep up with one
of Australia's best actors in one of their greatest performances,
Like you just just can't it.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Was in the Heights. Yeah, that's yeah, I knew I
Reckon has.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
A fine young actor and I think, you know, in
this film, I think he's a really interesting casting choice.
But you know, he's pushing it up hill a bit
like sharing scenes with Hugo who is just on song.
But you know, this is a film that you would
absolutely just watch to see. Hugo Weaving is a master
class in acting and you know it really gets you,
gets you by the end for sure, like this is
(21:10):
this is it's a kind of a simple premise but
it's well executed and it's it's an example of you know,
I guess what Australian films can be when they don't
try too hard.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Okay, all right, well, how many cocodoodle doos are you get?
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Good?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I'm going to give it three three and a half
cocood very good.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's a good film. You don't just want to see
it for his acting performance. Now, Thanks Ben, Thanks guys.

Over the last year, the MCU, the Marvel Cinema Universe,
has experienced box office flops like ant Man and the

lowest grossing Marvel film in history, and just this month,
it's connection with Madame Webb's been no cause for celebration.
Fans are getting fatigued with the franchise, and Ruffalo thinks
the expansion into streaming might have something to do with it.
(22:19):
He says, before the streaming expansion, the thing about Marvel
movies was you had to wait three years, and that
created a certain mystique. Now, he wonders if that mystique
might have been wiped away.

all manner of speculation and cynicism around it.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
She's never going to be.
Speaker 4 (23:06):

We take your calls on the thing around the house
that drives you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Crazy, and we'll talk about the Spanish woman who's going
to marry marry really her Ai Hologram.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What's going on, Lias?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
At our place, we got our couch was falling apart,
So we've got a new couch.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
O nice. I love a new couch.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
New couch, new catch smell. However, we brought it about
six months ago, so it's finally arrived. Yes, we're not
the only people sitting in a que waiting for their furniture.
It's like a lot of people buying furniture going oh, yeah,
you'll get it in September. Really, so now that we've
got the couch, then that's when the hard work starts
because we've got the scratchy cat. So at home right
(00:51):
now it's like a military operation trying to find ways
to cover the couch when there's no visitors over whatever.
To stop the cat from scratching hell out of the
new couch, She's going to go for the legs.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
She goes for the.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Legs for the new material that stretch. Ye loves the
smell of the material. So it's got right now, This
new couch has got I reckon about four old sheets
and about the couple of bulldog clips holding it together.
And Laurie's been going to town on it's a couple
of towels on the armrests.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And all the rest of it. No, it's not. It's
really quite.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
But I don't mind all of that if it stops
the new couch from getting scratched out.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
How long are you going to have to have it
like that for?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I don't know. It's not my I'm not doing it.
I'm just watching it in progress.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right. Do you think she'll give up?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I think so. I hope so, yeah, maybe they'll come
off with me. You know when you have visitor scratching posts. Yeah,
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, Well she has got a scratching post, so I
don't know why she doesn't use that. You know what
it's like when you buy the cat's things. But I
don't mind the sheets on the couch. I just hate cushions.
I hate cushions. Drive me crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
What kind of philistine doesn't like cushions on the cout
love that word, philister, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I love?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
There are four cushions on the couch and I go
to sit down and I have to put them on
the floor.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
That's barely enough for I like them all over the couch, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But I love cushions.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
But I will say, anyone can give me a tip
on how to keep them fully forfed, I will just
be indebted to you forever, because I find they go
flat pretty easily.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah. What are they putting in the cheap cushions by.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
The way, really okay, not like eleven dollar specials or anything.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
They know what's in.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
They used to put real respect, stood down and stuff
in them.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, they squish down and then they're no longer amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
But we digress. I don't like cushions, philistine.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yes, okay, well what about on the bed because they
go on the floor as well.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, I'll throw them at the cat when she cho
you don't have to. So here's the thing about men
and not understanding the pillows on the bed. You don't
need to understand yours is not to understand yours is
only to put them back in the order they came off.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Them.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
That's all you have to concern yourself with. You don't
have to understand, Just put them back on.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Can you give me some stickets to put numbers on
them so I know where they go? Give me a diagram.
There's always a fairly obvious passion.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Bloody cushions and drive me crazy and I will be
called a philistine every day because I don't care they
go flying round the room. Tell you what makes me
popular at home? I bet I'm sorry, rhymes. Give us
a call, Give us a call to day. There's something
in your house that drives you crazy, and I want
you to mention a person.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Do you know what it is that drives me crazy?
Down lights?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I love them, but I swear I've blown a transformer
every time I've tried to change one. And here's the
reason why I hate them even more now. I had
an electrician recently. Tell me don't worry. Those ones you've
got now are going to outlast you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh that's nice. How very shat you that I'm paying you?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
H out.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's funny anyway. Marry in Secret Harbor, Hello, Hey Mary,
good guys. What is the thing in your house? It
just does your head in?
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Okay, So I'm genuinely diagnosed with ADHD, right yep. So
I just don't get things finished a lot. So we've
got a back sliding glass door in the laundry we
have to go through twice a day. This thing's been
off its trails for about twelve months. And I struggle
with this thing like a crocodile. Every time I got out,
I scream, I swear. My wife's in the back room, going,
(04:37):
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Let me freaking door?
Speaker 7 (04:40):
And I just can't get it out, and I'm going
to put my back to it and squeeze it open.
And I do that every day, and I come out
angry and frustrated, and I go, I fix that.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
One name that's that angers and frustrates everyone when the
old sliding door is off the damn rails.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
But little wheels tugging of those, it's just so annoying.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
It's I'm not an angry person, but that really.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
It is the little things that get you over the edge.
Thanks Barry, Barry Crystal in Valdivs.

end of the island bench to get cutlery.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Out of a drawer.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Memories. Yeah, it's just going to take time.
Speaker 5 (05:37):

but even our nine year old daughter does exactly the
same thing because it's just the wrong you know, you
check everything with my house.

boards got soaked. So every time I opened a drawer,

Worried about you ending up in that, mate, Take care

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Good luck more more Lisa More podcasts.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So well, just when you thought the world couldn't get
any more bonkers, a woman in Spain is about to
marry an AI hologram. AI has barely taken off and
I'm sorry, yeah, I find I find it alarming, frightening, altogether, undesirable,
(12:04):
not romantic.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Not this woman.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Alicia Framis has announced her plans to wed the hologram
called Alex. It's spelt A I L e X Alex.
She posted about their situationship, that's one word for it,
Alicia on Instagram, saying we know that soon robots and
humans will be sexual partners.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Really okay, but.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
For me, the next important step is emotionally involving artificial
intelligence with humans.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Alex won't be a permanent.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Fixture in Alicia's physical life because that would be too expensive.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Apparently you can do that with a.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Real personel Costure as well. He will be digitally added
to videos and posts on social media, so he's going
to be photo shopped into all her photos and she
calls that a relationship, a marriage. In fact, the wedding
here's the kicker. The wedding is going to be part
of a tour of different museums and venues and you
(13:05):
can check it out at Hybrid's Hybrid Couples on Instagram
for details. So there is you know, there's there's a
reason there. But that sounds like a bit of a
sort of a you know what take, But I am
a little be mused slash horrified. And a couple of
(13:26):
stories of shady you know, bit ghosting shade, I mean
like Hologrammy a bit.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
C through transparent dark way.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But look, just recently, the last couple of weeks, I've
seen a couple of discussions online, a couple of stories
talking about posing the question about having an AI partner
and is this the way of the future?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And there was serious stories, serious art considering I thought
I was being punked.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I kept looking BEHINDE who was going to go you're
not believing this stuff you're reading, are you? Because I mean,
obviously I wasn't because it's AI. It's art to ficial
and it's a worry when you artificial the last time
I checked, means not real.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So multiple multiple times, you're thinking, is it April first?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I absolutely, Look, you know, I'm sure there's a place
for AI. I'm all for technology and all that, but
it's not an actual person, actually your boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Hey, when's the first hologram going to be on maths?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I don't Oh, I don't know that that hasn't already happened.
I'm not I've seen every season. I'm not convinced that
there's not been a bit of a But these were
serious discussions discussing whether you know, you would stick with
real people or make that move into AI.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
But that might be a better way to go. Is
there not real? Am? I am? I? Am? I on
candid Camera? I've long believed I'm We're all on some
find I'm looking for Jim Carrey.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Human show kind of candid Camera and somewhere out there
in a galaxy far away, little green mid life, just.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Themselves live, get multiple heads off. Some people will do
anything to avoid an argument. Read the flick with ben
o'she good morning man, good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Australian Theater, cinema, all of it royalty today.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Weaving, Hugo Weaving. There's a there's a bit of Ossie
Theater and Cinema Royalty in this film. So Hugo Weaving
has got a new film. He's reached a really interesting
time in his career like he's done, he's done at all.
Like his big breakthrough came on TV in the eighties
for the Body Line, Yes series about cricket with Don Bradman.
He played Douglas, the English captain and that was his
(15:55):
first role out of Nier, which was really really impressive performance.
And then he went on to do Ossie films like Proof,
which was a classic, and then.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Of course the moment in different films, different.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Films, very interesting career, and then of course Agent Smith
in The Matrix which is iconic, l Rond in Lord
of the Rings, and so he's done everything really along
the way, and now he's reached a stage in his
career sort of the Jack Thompson era where he's playing
these kind of curmudgeonally characters. But I would say some
(16:26):
of the best work of his entire, long, long career
in acting over the past few years. He was in
The Royal Hotel, that sort of psychological outback thriller which
was which is pretty good. And now in The Rooster.
It's a big call. But I would say this would
be in his top three performances of his life. And
(16:47):
I would say one of my top five Ossie performances
on a cinema screen that I've never seen. That's impressive,
and not that the movie is probably at that level,
but in terms of Hugo Weaving, if you're a Hugo
Weedon fan, or if you just yeah, we just appreciate
fine acting. Oh my gosh, this is just so incredible.
(17:07):
My hair is are standing up on the back of
my neck just thinking. So basically so, it's directed by
Mark Leonard Winter, who's an actor who you might have
seen in the news Reader, the ABC TV series Fires
in Balibo. He's in a bunch of stuff himself escape
from Pretoria, and so now this is one of his
first feature films and it was at Cinny Fest last year.
(17:27):
It was in competition for one hundred thousand dollars prize
and it's, I guess, on the surface level, it's a
tale about loneliness and how blokes in society can feel
loneliness because you know, they don't know how to reach
out and get emotional support, which is a story that
we kind of know, we know that that's a real thing.
And so it follows the journey of this young police
officer who's kind of separated from his wife, he's sort
(17:49):
of living by himself played by Phoenix Rerai, a fairly
new actor to the scene, and he's living in the
bush in central Victoria. He's got a rooster and he
keeps a few chooks. He's got chooks and a rooster then,
and he's kind of struggling with, you know, what's going
on in his personal life, with his wife leaving him
and you know, all that sort of stuff. And then
(18:12):
one day his rooster is eaten by a fox and
he's kind of it kind of really affects him emotional.
And at the same time, his best mate, who he
hasn't really seen for a while they've kind of become
a bit of strange, has died in sort of mysterious
circumstances in the bush. His body's found in the bush
and they're not sure if it's a suicide or what
has happened. He kind of goes out and decides to
(18:34):
camp for a few days at the scene of where
his mate died, just to kind of reconnect emotionally to
what might have happened.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
He's having a good run.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
No, he's not having a good run at all. And
while he's in the bush, he like hears some noises
and he sort of realizes there's someone else in the
bush with him, and it's this hermit played by Hugo
Weaving who's lived off the grid for years and years
and years. And then all of a sudden, this fellow
who's a police officer starts to think, well, hang on
a minute, maybe this hermit has actually been involved in
the death of my mate, or at the very least
(19:03):
knows something about it. And so sort of they start
hanging out, and then essentially this young police officer moves
in with Hugo Weaving's character in his little bush hut
and they sort of have this exploration of their own
histories and emotional traumas together, and Hugo Weavings hermit is
a loose unit, like at one moment he almost seems
(19:27):
like a larger than life sort of thispi and he
sort of spouts literature and then he's also drinking, you know,
bottles of red every other minute, and he has this
busted up old ping pong table that he's just set
up in the bush and he just hits the ball
to himself and then he starts playing ping pong and
he says, you know, the point is not to win.
It's just to keep playing. You just got to keep going,
(19:47):
keep getting the ball back, which is kind of his
you know, sort of ethos for life, like that's kind
of his man trait exactly. And so then as as
this sort of unfolds, as these two blokes get to
know each other, you start to realize that, you know,
there's some stuff going on in Hugo Weaving's character's background
that has kind of led to where he is now,
sort of some really really heartbreaking stuff that he's never
(20:09):
really been able to process or get past. And so
his relationship with this young police officer maybe gets him
a bit closer to some of that resolution. And so
it is it's a deeply affecting movie. It's some incredible
scenes in the Victorian Bush, like the nature is a
real character in the film as well, Like you know,
Phoenix RERAI as this young police officer, you know, you know,
(20:32):
maybe not quite to the same level of Hugo Weaving,
but I think the challenge for this young actor is,
you know, like how do you keep up with one
of Australia's best actors in one of their greatest performances,
Like you just just can't it.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Was in the Heights. Yeah, that's yeah, I knew I
Reckon has.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
A fine young actor and I think, you know, in
this film, I think he's a really interesting casting choice.
But you know, he's pushing it up hill a bit
like sharing scenes with Hugo who is just on song.
But you know, this is a film that you would
absolutely just watch to see. Hugo Weaving is a master
class in acting and you know it really gets you,
gets you by the end for sure, like this is
(21:10):
this is it's a kind of a simple premise but
it's well executed and it's it's an example of you know,
I guess what Australian films can be when they don't
try too hard.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Okay, all right, well, how many cocodoodle doos are you get?
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Good?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I'm going to give it three three and a half
cocood very good.
Speaker 2 (21:27):

it for his acting performance. Now, Thanks Ben, Thanks guys.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
It sounds like even one of the genre's biggest stars
thinks the Marvel comic book movie folks have jumped the Shark.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'm talking about the Hulk himself, Mark Rufflon. You don't
want to make him angry.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Over the last year, the MCU, the Marvel Cinema Universe,
has experienced box office flops like ant Man and the
Wasp and The Marvels. In fact, that one became the
lowest grossing Marvel film in history, and just this month,
it's connection with Madame Webb's been no cause for celebration.
Fans are getting fatigued with the franchise, and Ruffalo thinks
the expansion into streaming might have something to do with it.
(22:19):
He says, before the streaming expansion, the thing about Marvel
movies was you had to wait three years, and that
created a certain mystique. Now, he wonders if that mystique
might have been wiped away.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
M duh, look something long enough.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, I'm sure you've heard. Beyonce's made a country album. Well,
she's become the first black woman to reach number one
on the US Country chart with her new single Texas
Hold Them. Will this be the one to shut jay
Z up and get her Album of the Year at
the Grammys? Probably not, But you know what, the problem
with jay Z's very disrespectful speech and carry on at
(22:55):
the Grammys a couple of weeks ago. Is if she
ever does win Album of the Year, now he's all
tainted it. He's ruined it in advance because there'll be
all manner of speculation and cynicism around it.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
She's never going to be.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
He's robbed her of any chance that she would have
to just quietly celebrate it and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Should have been for zip It Good One Jay.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones has revealed that he has been
diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Foreigner is on their current farewell tour,
but Jones hasn't played with the band since twenty twenty two.
And when your parents are Barack and Michelle Obama, it
can be tough to step out from under that shadow,
which is why Malia Obama is dropping her surname. Because
(23:38):
she's pursuing her acting ambitions and she's signed up for
a film project called The Heart, and she's decided to
go by Malia Ann, which is her middle name.

bit of independence of.
