Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
So tomorrow the Bob Dylan movie opens, Complete Unknown, which
is on Friday Night, which is really good. And I
love the Robbie Williams movie Better Man. There's a whole
slew in three months time the eagerly anticipated Bruce Springsteen

(00:24):
movie Delivery from Nowhere, where Jamie Allen White plays the Boss,
who I think would be brilliant. Now, so there's a
lot of these movies now, musical biopics, and I saw
it as a Britney Spears one. He actually wrote a
book about a couple of years ago, sold out five
million copies, and the same director and writer that did
Wicked have brought it up. They're going to develop it
and it's a hell of a story, the Brittany Spears story.

(00:47):
So this morning, I want to know who else deserves
a musical biopic, Patsy? Who do you think Breiser? Oh, well,
i'd have to say yeah. I mean he's coming out
very very soon. Who plays Brian Adams? What would it
be called? Because can you change you the trend? It's
normally a line or a song title, tongue title. Who

(01:12):
would play Break the producers. I said an hour ago,
make sure that you brief Patsy On that I've got
no idea what we're doing, but I come back to you.
We come back to you. Yeah, yeah, please can you
just self take a number? Like take a number, Jackie boy,
who would it be for you?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I have just recently watched the Avic documentary on Netflix, and.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I saw it over Christmas. I didn't think that you
would be into hardhouse and tech. Note.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I knew nothing about a Vach except for the song
Sounded Familiar. He's most famous songs. Now, I'm all about
a Beachy story, a story this guy has, So I
would make it a Vachy biopic because it's all in there.
This guy is like born with this incredible talent where
he can't even play an instrument, but the laptop is
this instrument he's putting the melodies in, and all through

(02:03):
his journey in the music industry, he just cares about
the music, and they keep trying to like make him
play shows, make him make albums, work with this person,
work with this band, work with everybody. He's just loves
the music and he just wants to get back to
make a music man.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's a great story. Have you seen both the documentaries,
because there's the one I'm Tim. I've seen I'm Tim.
I come into the other one. The other one is
his last sets, isn't it? Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I know I've not seen no one.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I've seen the story of He's seen the story, but
didn't see his last ever set.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well, I didn't expect that to be too document Are.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
You you enough? Were Tim? Were you? I'm out? But
I'd pay for a movie for who would play him?
And what's it called?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I think it would be called wake Me Up? The
song we just heard, and I think it would be
Austin Butler and I know he just was Elvis.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Wow this and take a number Tim Butler's back as
a vichy wake me Up.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
If you bring up a Vecchy, you can sort of
see Austin Butler bleaching his hair and coming up beachy.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, yeah, I kind of, yeah, I do. I do
know what you mean. But do you think it's enough
for a big movie, because ultimately you are seeing a
guy who's behind a laptop.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yes, I can imagine. I can picture this in the trailer.
The he's trying, the music industry is hearing about him.
He's getting really popular, and they're like, Okay, what instrument
does he play? And the manichesta go he doesn't play
an instrument.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
No, no, no, Jack goose bugs, goose bugs. That's when
this summer, that's what he goes a guy. There's a
guy behind a desk chomping on a cigar and someone
comes running in Bust, I've got him the next big thing.

the cigar and like the.

see it, I can feel it. We're going to see
you at the Oscars, my friend. We need to start
developing this and then but then you are going to
come down to Like so when I saw the Blob
Dylan movie, it all centers around this big, famous Lamark

(04:15):
performance he made at a folk festival where we he
went electric for the first time. He risk alienated every
single one of his folk fans. The movie two hours
building up to it. It's incredible, you building up to
