Speaker 4 (00:49):
I did want to pay homage to Diane Keaton, who
we sadly lost this week, far too young at seventy nine.
And I was thinking some of my favorite movies, and
there's so many. I watched Father of the Bride last
Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, we watched it Monday night with the girls.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, but there was one because I said so, which
was a two thousand and seven flicking, you know, just
a romantic, sort of funny story of an overbearing mum
with three grown up daughters and trying to get them
set for life and essentially and this is something that
I'm grappling with right now with Audrey. You have done
so with your two girls, that whole thing of letting
(01:25):
go as a parent. And so Diane's character she there's
this beautiful monologue in one of the scenes where she says,
you know, how do I let go and let essentially
let you fly, Bertie Fly.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
It's just gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
She could do incredible drama like movies, not the Godfather,
than the comedies, romantic comedies. I've never seen Dane Keen
in a bad movie. No, I don't think she made
any bad movies. Now incredible ones. If you really are
looking for something a movie to watch every weekend, you
can't go past any of the light forty odd movies
I think I saw at the other day. She made
incredible range. All right, what else? Patsy gets your daughter?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
The other thing last night we watched I Like Me,
which is the John Candy documentary.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Oh I've seen this idea.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Oh my god, is it joyous.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's what a funny, funny guy.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Absolutely and what a talent. And it's directed by Colin Hanks,
which is Tom.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Hanks's son, gifty comedian himself.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Awayane Reddold's as well, And it's really got a hues
who of Hollywood has not paying homage to John Candy
and just how realistic and authentic he was on the screen,
and how he brought his total self to the screen
and grappling with several things like imposter syndrome later in
his career, also the loss of his father at just five,
and how he brought that desire for connection and family
(02:45):
to the screen. And you know, there's that scene in Planes,
Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin where Steve Martin has
a go at him in the hotel room, you know,
saying how useless he was, and he says, I like me.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
And it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's a really moving comedy. Planes Trains and Utobiles. I
love Steve By and it's one of my comic heroes.
But I'm telling you now, Planes Trains and Automobiles is
John Candy's movie. Yes, it's not the same movie without
John Candy. He provides all the heart in it as well,
and proper old school screen presence.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, seemed like cool runnings.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There should just be a twenty four hour movie channel
that just shows John Candy movies. This relentlessly funny. It's
one of those guys. Is built for comedy as well.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yes, yes, And that scene in the train station where
Steve Martin cost and he's just sitting there and he's
told him that he's on his way home to his wife,
but of course his wife has died like eight years before.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
There is no wife.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Steve Martin said, they actually when they went to final cut,
they cut a heap out of it, and he said,
I wish they hadn't because it was just the most extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You can see the foreman scene online. Oh oh my god,
it's really missing. And watch this beautiful Yeah, it is great.
All right, lovely stuff pants. We take a break. We'll
come back here on Gold with double thumbs up and
you can share our shoes as well. What are you
enjoying at the moment? Text me oh four seven five
three one oh four three.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Christian O'Connell Show Every Friday. We got around the team
first half hour the show. We call it double thumbs
up the things that we're enjoying at the moment. Two
TV shows for me. One's a big new show on
Netflix called Boots. Set in the nineties, bully teenager joins
his best friend. They decided to impulsively go and join
the US Marines. It's about boot camp. It's about identity,
(04:26):
coming of age, camaraderie. It is so joyous and really funny.
I absolutely loving it. Cannot recommend it enough. Really really
really great show as well. It's very very good set
in the nineties. That's Boots on Netflix. And if you
like a TV show that is grim, will.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Break your heart. I've got the show for you.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
My wife refused to watch it and keep saying to
me afterwards when I just come out, I'm quiet about
five or tens. You've got to put yourself back together.
It's the same writer and showrunn a guy called Brad
Inglesby who did Mayor of East Town, Right.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I wish it were a.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Great couple of seasons of a really great crime drama.
This is called Task. It's the best thing I've ever
seen Mark Ruffalo do. Oh my god, this is blown
me away. It's week by week and normally get quite
irritated with that because these days with selfish, I.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Want I watch it. Oh now.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I want to watch it now, ain't myself time? Give
it to me now? But it's on once a week.
It's worth it. If you really do like TV shows
that are layered and it's complex. It blurs the line
completely between good and bad. It's basically the TV show
Remember the movie Heat. Well, you've got cops and robbers,
but they kind of a grudge and respect between each other.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's like a TV modern day version of that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Oh you would bloody love? Oh my god, I do.
This show actually made me cry this week. It's a
beautiful show, but it is not. If you're looking for
a feel good show, stick to Boots. If you wanted
a bit grim If the National made the TV detective show,
they would make Tasks. I have loved it Rio.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
What's it for you? Mate? What do you can? Double
thumbs up?
Speaker 6 (05:57):
If you do want something a bit lighter you just
watched ask. I would highly recommend on Stand. It just
came out on Sunday. It's called One More Shot. I
actually saw it at the Melbourne Film Festival. It got
a big standing ovation. It's awesome. It is an ausy
comedy set at the turn of the millennium, so a
y two k house party with a time traveling.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Bottle of tequila. It is so much fun.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It's very aussy, very ousy humor, but like really really well.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Done, brilliant.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It actually starts.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I wanted to get behind this.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
It's really good.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
And do you remember we a few years ago we
did Grouse the musical, which was we did our own
Aussie version of Greece for grown ups. Yes, it was
written by Fiona Harris, your friend and Mike.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah, she's great. So got a show connection.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
It's so much fun, a great like a Sunday night watch,
perfect like perfect to one one shot, one more shot,
one more shot.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And it's on Stan.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
It's on Stan. It's brilliant.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Okay, the Christian O'Connell show podcast on.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The show right now, we're doing double thumbs up. You

that you would recommend. It might be a TV show, book,
whatever it is. Oh four seventy five three one O
four three, Alex will short, double thumbs up, mate, what
are you enjoying staying.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
With Diane Kayden who passed away in the week at
age seventy nine. And I guess this is such a
great film for her range the Godfather trilogy.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
She was in Godfather one.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
And two, and apparently the director Francis Ford Coppola, he
saw her in Lovers and Other Strangers and cast her
for the role of Kay Adams in The Godfather, which
was Michael Corleoni's wife who was not in the mafia,
had nothing to do with the mafia.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
At Kay.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
She's this white Anglo Saxon Protestant American and she provides
that kind.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Of that good that good versus evil.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
She always wants Michael Corleoni sort of to legitimize the
business and tries to protect her children from that awful,
awful crime family, I suppose, and she was family.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Well, you know that's the.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Lucy Goosey.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
It's not all at sea, far from it.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That's not quite the American gene lads, and you know
it come on.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Anyways, she didn't want to be in Godfather too, but
she read the script and let's do it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And yes, it was so so good in it. And
massive respect to her.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
If you're a Godfather fan, right, I cannot recommend enough
a book I read last year, Take the Canoi. It's
about the making of the Godfather. Every chapter is a
badly believable story, almost a story of the making of
the Godfather is almost just as dramatic and entertaining as
the actual movie itself. Highest dressing film ever made, Such
a great movie, incredible.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
I've got one more off. Oh yeah, I'm just can
I just talk about the croissants at BP. Like the
croissants at BP I get. I often stop in there
on my way into work. Triple thumbs up for these things.
Triple they are. They're so good, they cost only cost
four dollars. There's so crisp loan. What's loon learn shmoon?
(09:04):
I say, compared to.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
These Chris.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Smooth, they are out of the box, these things. I
highly recommend them. Croissanted BP getting you'll love it. Love
and they really are they really buttery.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They're so buttery.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
They're so crunchy cross right now in trouble is very messy.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Aren't they?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Very hard to eat with any dignity.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
You're a mess after brushing for the next hour.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Maybe we should get a French person to try the
bpequas on and get a real French review to see
if this up to stand it.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I'm not remotely interested in doing that.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Put them out of blindfold and we'll give them like
different croissants.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And is matched to get get out of the whole
One year Old Lady Interview this week, all right, don't
put my head back on the chopping block. Okay, with
a croissant review from Claws. It's Friday, guys, the shows
off the tracks. I'll tell you what. I've got no
