Speaker 1 (00:09):
I Heeart podcasts. You can hear more gold one I
four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
free iHeart app. Got anything good? Hey? This is the
Christian O'Connell show podcast. The hardest conversations you have in
a family often a Friday and Saturday night. What are

(00:31):
we going to watch that actually everybody is happy with?
And normally then to get like you know, sign off
by committee, something dilute to when no one really wins
and you're all really begrudgually watching it in sight were
to get and we're spoilt now because there's so much choice.
There's a golden age right now. It's some really really

(00:53):
great TV. All right, So what have I enjoyed at
the moment? Then brilliant three part documentary produced by Guy Ritchie. Oh,
I think I know? Diamond heist. I really want a
true story of a diamond heist that was attempted in
London at the end it was called the Millennium Dome,
just on the cusp of the millennium two thousands. Three

(01:13):
part documentary and if they'd pulled it off, this would
have been the world's biggest heist. It's barely believable how
they thought they were going to get away with it.
And what's amazing is the documentary is very very well done.
But the real person that they found is one of
the gang, the main gang leader who served years in
prison for doing this or trying to do this, him

(01:34):
talking about it all. And then they've got the real
his counterpart, this detective who was trying to stop them. Oh,
you've got the time. That's such. It's three parts. It's
so good. It sounds like a Guy Ritchie no totally.
At one point this footage from two thousand and the
police talking about this crime, where they go, well, it's
something else, some sort of Guy Ritchie movie week to camera.

(01:56):
It's produced by Guy Ritchie twenty years later. But it's
just three parts, but it is so good. It's brittiant. Yeah,
Diamond Heist is very good. And then a great great
new drama watching at the moment on Prime Better Sister,
that is very, very very good. I cannot recommend that enough.
I haven't heard about it. It's so good that I've

(02:17):
sent an email to a PR team going, hey, listen,
this is only once a week to the muggles, I
mean all the chips. I can binge it all week
this weekend. It's very good. It's on Amazon Prime, brilliant
Who Done It? Sick? And it does that thing you
know with very very brilliant dramas that are who done
It's where it sets up so many red herrings. It's

(02:40):
definitely the other sister. Oh my god. No, it's a
shady boss. Oh my god. No, it's the housekeeper that
hates that rich woman. And you're like, there's about twenty
two suspects in this. You've got no idea what's going on.
And then however, they've got what's his name? From Stranger Things.
Matthew Modine said, So this guy's in it, he did it.

(03:00):
There's no evidence. I'm telling you know. You don't call
in Papa, that big white hair of his. He's an
odd ball in everything, isn't he? Papa did it? He's
always up to no good, that guy. There's a big
new drama on Prime you want to Senior all the
adverts called Mobland Now. It got recommended to me by

(03:22):
every single male friend of mine, and they all kept
saying this, do you like Tom Hardy? I'm like, yeah,
you got to watch mob Bland, right, have I you
got to watch it, do you know Tom Hardy And yeah,
I don't know what it is catnip from Middle Ray
because what he represents is what they'll never be tough,
tough and buff right in those years that's long gone,

(03:43):
that's left the town. Okay, So anyway, it's also got
Pearce Barsenan and Helen Mirren. Now I'm nine episodes in,
I've become addicted to it is. It is good. However,
there's a major clang and I've watched all nine and
I love it. The major clang is Pears Brasenan and
the very English Helen Mirren are doing very strong Irish

(04:03):
accents now the now a lot of a lot of
great British actors and actresses can do a Marror Can
accents night really good. The Irish one is don't bother right,
It would have been fine to do your normal accents.
It doesn't matter. It's a plan to see sort of
gang land thing anyway. So but the Irish accents are
real strong where you're like, why whoa, whoa, whoa? Why

(04:25):
didn't anyone go cut piss? What's she doing? All right? Yeah?
Well fade them there way, no way harrigans. No, Tom
Hardy is obviously gone. Listen, I did bait, I did
one bad accent. I ain't doing this again. He's just
Tom Hardy. He's outstanding in it because he's not going
don't don't worry today. So we went the ragons on

(04:48):
that back down calf and so any scene with this,
I'm now starting forward winder. Oh my god, they're talking
to non Irish again. However, it's a ten out of ten.
Tom Hardy is great. I wish you could do like
you know, you get your director's cut. You just did
a Tom Hardy cut. Can I just have the Tom
Hardy scenes and a love pas bos and he's actually Irish? Easy?
Look this accent is he's not He's Irish and he's

(05:10):
going to get banned from lands. It's sacrilegious. It's shocking.
He looks amazing though he does. He's a real because
he really has been like seventeen a quick google and
then we started this week on the show like what
was the year? Maybe we should do what what's their age?
As well? Like a glistening stallion. His skin looks amazing. Look,

(05:31):
Tom Hardy, what did you say? No? Yes, yeah, Tom
hardy of be about fifty two. I would guess forty seven, right,
So what's Pierce Brosnan. Yeah, he's seventy two, you're right.
Oh my gosh, oh my god. No, No he is.
He's very he's very hot. He's still he's I don't
know how he's done it. That man looks great, he does.
Look at those yeah, no, wow. And he's a silk

(05:54):
fox in it. Yeah, gangster god. We love a bad boy.
We want anyway. So Mobland it's a show I really
enjoyed as well. Just finished this this weeek watching brilliant
fourth season on Amazon Prime of Clarkson's Farm. I actually
think it's the best thing he's ever done. Jeremy and

(06:16):
I love top Gear and known them for years, and
James as well. But I'm telling now Clarkson's Farm what
he's done for farmers all around the world. We see
how hard they have it, and Jeremy's done a great thing.
It's a very funny, heartfelt show. But you know, and
he keeps saying constantly, this isn't my living, but this
is heartbreaking even for me, up against the weather, no
matter how hard you work, And he was saying there's

(06:38):
no other job where it's not about your job, it's
depending not on what you do about bloody weather. Yeah.
So Clarkson's Farm very funny, great fourth season. Finished that
this week. And the other thing we've just started is
I would say this is one of the best crime
thrillers I've seen in the years. You might see everyone's
raving a moment. It's called Department Q. It's new on Netflix. Yes,

(06:58):
my god, it's so good. Perhaps you would love us
really really really smart, brilliant show, great cast as well. However,
I will say this, I watched an served the other night,
and it's not a horror move or anything, but it's
a chilling thriller. Right, No, No, it's really good. But
I had a nightmare. Really, I actually had a nightmare

(07:18):
about it that the I couldn't find me. It is
a really full on nightment. You know. I still get
terrified from linemans. I would walk out and have to
go out into the living room and put a light
on to just clim down. I had to put the on,
I had to put the yeah yeah, just reground. And

(07:40):
normally what I did I watch a scary TV show.
I'll watch an episode of Seinfeld as a kind of
a panic and I didn't do that, and Mummy said
to me, you need to watch Seinfelder. You might wear
the bed pretty boy, a big grown up Sarah. She
was right. Wow, it's very good. Department Q cannot recommend

(08:00):
that enough. Christian O'Connell show go on podcast
