Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda Jama from The Daily Oz.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Emma Gillespie is here and Amanda shared me a Kim
Kardashian new show, a little grab of her acting, and
I actually thought she was all right.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
In it the show. What's wrong with this? Lamb tell
us about the show.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
It is the Internet's most hated news show. It's called
All's Fair, available on Disney Plus the first three episode
there right now.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
It has a very impressive cast, a very expensive cast,
no doubt, Kim Karashi and yes, but Naomi Watts, Glenn Close,
Sarah Paulson, Nissi Nash. It's an amazing cast, astonishing and
all of that wasn't enough to save it from being
the most hated show on the Internet. It's got four
percent on Rotten Tomatoes. That's the critics score. That's low.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's low. It was zero.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Percent, but then I went to six and now it's
come down to four. The reviews have been absolutely brutal.
Here are a few of my favorites. The Times said,
all scripted, it feels by a toddler who couldn't write bumma.
A Wall Variety said, the waste feels more flagrant with
every pornographic shot of a Chanel bag, vintage car or
over the top ensemble. Glamory UK said an orgy of

(01:10):
vulgarity where greed rules, love means nothing, and we're somehow
being forced to feel we should all want to revel
in this world too. Or The Telegraph said it's simply
a crime against television.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Wow, tell us what the show's about. It's set in
a kind of divorce law firm.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a bit of a kind of legal procedural I
guess where every episode there are new women, new scorned
lovers who hire these really powerful boss girls who are
like the best lawyers in town, who are going to
take their exes to the cleaners.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
They have their own troubled private lives. I'm guessing, well exactly.
And Kim Kardashian is kind of the lead, like she
is the most prominent character.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Her personal life is on full display because in the
background she's navigating her own divorce.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So there's this kind of riving a professional football marriage. Football. Well, yes,
but they split. Yes, that's not really a spoilery. Acting
makes her look like I thought he was okay. She
just poudered a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
She's okay in the scenes by herself or in the
scenes when there's only a few of them. She actually
gets away with it. And of course she looks incredible
on camera an outfit where she's supposed to be a
lawyer and she's wearing like a Kath and Kim back
tee bar.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
She's not like a skirt.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
From the front, it looks like a very kind of
corporate put together. She looks a bit like Bridget mackenzie
and her kind of private schoolboy outfits. But then from
the back it's full g banger right party at the
back that's full cheap oh yeahless chaps.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
But I do want to say I actually feel kind
of defensive about this show, because yes, you watch it
and you will laugh pretty quickly at how ridiculous it
all seems. They the costumes are amazing, the characters are
ridiculous and empty and shallow, but it's kind of fun
and I I just think we need vapid TV sometimes.
It sort of for me, sits in this world where

(03:05):
you know how reality TV is loved by a lot
of people, but a lot of people also hate it
because it feels too scripted.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
This feels like a kind of happy medium for me,
where it is scripted. It is a drama.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's from Ryan Murphy, who's done shows like you know,
The Menendez Brothers, Jeffrey Dharma, American Crime Story, Nip Tuck. Yeah,
but he has this real campness to the shows that
he makes. There's almost like a satire or something about
it where it knows it's not perfect. But also we
all like to see the insides of private jets, and
we all like to see expensive cars and beautiful clothes,

(03:39):
and we get that here from some of the best
actors in the biz.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh, I think I might have to watch it on
the week watch. I think you should watch it. Kim's
in on the joke.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
She posted over the weekend saying, you know, basically, have
you all seen the most critically acclaimed show of the year,
Yet it's streaming on Disney Place and Hulou, so she
knows she screenshotted some terrible reviews. Another interesting take that
I saw was from the Hollywood Reporter who suggested, like,
is this the pre AI TVs? The TV industry gearing
up for AI to take over?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
As this could have been AI. It's so glib.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yes, it's a show that's really about almost nothing. The
script is almost not there, and we all kind of
getting grimed to be used to these kinds of plots
or lack thereof, so very interesting. There are fifteen executive producers,
including Chris Jenner, and one review suggested that there's almost
so many that they cancel each other out so that

(04:33):
every voice becomes no voice and it is voiceless.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
It's not going to get a golden globe. I think
we saw two of them. We saw Kim's golden globes
and let me more where that came from.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Emma, thank you, thank you all there on Disney Clubs
