Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gem.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nation from The Daily Oz editor at Large. No, she's
not at large. He's right here. I just like saying
editor at last.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I like hearing you say, Emma Gillespie.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
Helloa lobell another day, another celebrity trying to convince us
that they're very normal and there is nothing to see here.
The Baldwins have a new reality series. It follows the
life of Alec Baldwin, the sixty six year old actor,
and his wife, who is twenty six years his junior.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
And they're one hundred and seven children.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
There's just seven children, but same, same, They've got two nannies,
four dogs, four cats. And if you haven't heard of
Hilaria Baldwin before, born Hillary in Boston.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
I thought she was Spanish born Hillary.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
There was a lot of confusion some years ago on
the Internet. She sounds very Spanish and she acts very Spanish.
She even speaks a lot of Spanish, but she's actually
not Spanish. She has this weird fake accent. We've got
a little bit to play for you now.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
We have grand paper.

Speaker 5 (01:02):
When I'm pregnant and I'm not trying to stay fin
I'm just trying to keep my circulation going, it's stretching
and keep my muscle trying it. In comments on my photos,
received a troll message, which is something that they like
to do.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
So she's not quite but she's quite accented, isn't she. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
She there's grabs of her doing cooking shows saying like, oh,
how in English you say onion? And then the whole
rest of the bitch she's saying like on you, I
cannot say how you say and it's just it's very funny.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
But the Internet kind of caught her out. She's white,
she grew up in Massachusetts.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
She's of English, German and Irish descent, and yet inexplicably
she speaks with this accent. She kind of yells at
her kids in this show in a Spanish accent, which
is just hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
So looking at the two of them together, they've done
this show, and they've done this. They started this show
after he inadvertently murdered somebody.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Man, he accidentally shot someone.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
An accidental shooting with that prop gun.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
So yeah, the show starts halfway through last year, which
is sort of coming towards this.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Trial for involuntary manslaughter.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
So in twenty twenty one, Baldwin was on the set
of this film Rust and the cinematographer Helena Hutchins, a
forty two year old mother, was killed when this prop
gun went off. Baldwin was rehearsing a scene.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
He was also the executive producer, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
He was heavily involved in the production. The props manager
is also still a waiting trial. He argues that he
pulled back the hammer of the revolver, not the trigger,
but the gun fired anyway, And this show really sort
of tracks the difficult path for the family of those
charges and of that journey. Those charges were dropped earlier

(02:46):
this year, but he has now filed a huge civil
suit and he's going to sue them for a lot,
a lot, a lot of money. But the thing that
people are kind of up the show are the city
of Santa Fe, the New Mexico Districttorney's office, some people
involved in the film, I believe. But the thing that
people are really annoyed about with this show is that
this family, this extremely wealthy, sort of privileged Hollywood family,

(03:12):
have kind of co opted this story of Helena Hutchins,
and it's really about how hard it's been for them, which,
of course I'm sure, it's been incredibly horrific for him
to be caught up in all of this and the
man sort of stuff and the trial. But it just
feels a little bit yucky or weird or something. The
other thing is that they absolutely hate each other. Oh,
I love hearing. What do you think I've decided that

(03:34):
Alec and Ilaria Baldwin do not love each other anymore?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
But he upset upon he's got a thousand children. He
looks completely exhausted.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh, he is a very unhappy man.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
He is often gazing into the distance in a very
stained polo shirt.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
He looks very poor. He also looks old. He doesn't
look sixty six. He looks eighty six in my opinion. Sorry, Alec.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
We've got a little bit of a grab of a
viral moment on the red carpet. They were promoting the
show and Hilaria kind of snaps at him.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
See how it feels to have would be out there,
Oh my dad, when I'm talking, you're not talking. No,
when I'm talking, you're not talking.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
This is why.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yes, well that's like just pat him out of the show.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
No, No, I mean I think this is a really.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Rum.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
She has claimed that she thought she was being she
was trying to be funny and that that's banish.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's what that.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Look on his face though he looks at the camera,
gives it side eye as if to say, see what
I'm living.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
The entire show, it's like side eye from him them
having a weird passive aggressive thing.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Anyway, I thought i'd take.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
You through some of the standout reviews. The Guardian gives
it one star. The Baldwin's review Alex dreadful reality show
is a new loaf for TV. The Baldwins is dreadful
and makes the couple look likewise. Vulture says The Baldwins
is grimmer than you imagined, and my favorite from a
publication called Collider, The Baldwins isn't real TV. It's horror,

(05:02):
a naked display of deeply layered domestic darkness. Wow, their
family dynamics are transfixing and horrifying. The show itself aimless, haunting,
painfully over exposed, tragedy, crudely covered with a shoddy candy
colored paint job.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
You know who takes the pressure off Harry and Meghan.
Megan Michael goes, I'm just doing some recipes.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
People.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
If you can catch it on binge if you want
to waste some time from the Daily Oys.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Emma Gillespie, Thank you, thank you,
