the weekend b.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
F E Big Friday Energy. In fact, just like ac
DC this week b.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
F each B.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Have we been drinking? Not yet? Although one today's show?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Are we still going to do the game I came
up with yesterday where we guess try and guess listener's
favorite drink.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I am actually really to look forward to that. I
don't know why.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You're pretty good at it. You had a real knack
for it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, okay, all right, So let's go double thumbers up
this week. Go around the team every Friday and we
talk about the things that we're really enjoying in the moment.
The TV show, a movie, a snack, a book, an
whatever rio you kick off?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Actually this Friday BF, what is it?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I think I have the most controversial double thumbs up ever.
All's fair on Disney Plus Now. For some reason, not
only to them, Disney gave Kim Kardashian a lot of
money to produce write and start in her own legal drama.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
The reception has been terrible. It got zero stars on Guardian.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
It's got four percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest premiere
of any show in the last.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Now you are selling it, selling it, selling it because
the only reason I know about this is the girls
move back in this weekend from university. So they're back
home for a couple of weeks now over Christmas, right,
and they said, Dad, we have to watch this Kim
Kardashian thing and then a hambokot.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Life's been packed.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But you know, when something is, it's better that it's either.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Brilliant or so bad mediocre. Shell. I can't wait to
see it. It can't crash. I can't wait. Think you're Disney.
Will would not have wanted this. You're the home of storytelling.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
The reviews the Guardian called it incomprehensibly existentially.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Terrible, existentially terrible. I dream of doing radio breaks like that.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
One wonders if this is a social experiment to see
if you can get away with making the most transparently
terrible show on Disney's dime.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It is.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Once you start watching, you will not be able to start.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
It is so bad it's so so bad, but there's.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Such what is she? What is? What is she in it?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
So she's a female divorce lawyer.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
It's sort of like a modern twist on First Wives Club?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
What's good?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Wives Club?
Speaker 5 (02:50):
But she's somehow dragged in Naomi Watts and Glenn Close.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What I saw, I saw the trays trouble though. You
know what it is. It's Kardashian.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Money.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
But the plots are ridiculous, so far fetched, so unbeloved.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's brilliantly this thing you ever recommend that a terrible
TV show that wait for is existentially bad?
Speaker 7 (03:14):
It ironic that she's just failed the bar exam or
did she as well?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It hasn't. She's trailed. I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
But please just just watch it so we can all
talk about it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Okay, terrible.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Friday morning, we're doing double thumbs up. We go around
the team talking about the TV shows and movies, the
things that we're enjoying at the moment. So if you're
parallelized by choice every Friday on the couch, we've got
you two things to me. One is a TV show
wanted a movie movie? I saw a watch last week.
I didn't realize this movie came out a couple of
years ago. It's a Netflix film starring Glenn Powell and
Jonathan Major's true life story of the US Navy's first
(03:55):
black fighter pilot.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It is an amazing movie. It is so good.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's about it reminding me of a quality we don't
hear enough of these days. Character. Oh my god, it's
a true, real life story. It's inspirational. It is so good.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's called Devotion. Cannot recommend enough. Just a really smart,
well made movie. In Glenn Powell, I know, he's like
Tom Cruise's sort of prodigy at the moment, is brilliant
in it. He's really really good. I got what all
the hype is about. I saw a different kind of
actor in him.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
He's the first black pilot.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
No, he's the He's fighter pilot Tom Hudner, the best
friend of Jonathan Majors. Just so chrystically. In case any
of you were like, how they get made? What is
that the eighties? I mean, I know, he's a good action,
but you can't do that. And then the other one
is a brand new TV show from the TV genius
That is Vince Gilligan who came up with and wrote
(04:47):
Breaking Bad and then almost top that really with Beta
Call Saul. Now has got a new show out called Pluribus.
It stars Kim Wexler, Rhea Seahorn, obviously the co star
of Breaking Bad and Beta Called Saul. It is brilliant.
I've seen the first two episodes. It's outstanding. It's a
hell of an idea. You know, we all go like
it is obviously this week on the show and around
(05:08):
the world World Kindness Day, there's been an alien invasion
in twenty twenty five, and apart from about ten people
around the world and the star of Arrea Sea Horn,
it's the only person in America. Everybody else now has
got some brain thing where they all get on with
each other. Oh she hasn't impacted her.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Oh she's okay.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
This is she's like a kind of misanthrope. She finds
incredibly irritating being in a world. And so the idea
is that it's getting us. This is an interview with
there was. I wouldn't it be actually the world to
be a worse place if we're all trying to be
one hundred percent fake happy twenty four to seven.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Well that was us yesterday. We couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That's for the show apart.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
We're still healing on faint kindness anyways, called Pluribus. It
is very very very good. Cannot recommend that enough, Patsy,
what are you enjoying?

style chock moose.
