new lights. My wife knows I am good for max
an hour a time. Rather have know that it's but
what they do is they go sneaky, sneaking up. We'll

you're trained.

We're going off to rock pool. Stakes are amazing. All right,
(04:19):
We're going to take a break when we come back.
Then we're getting into this week's double thumbs up. This
is where me, Jack and Pats we go around the
team talk about the things that we're into this week
Gold one I four point three.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Okay, so every week this is the spot where we
talk about the shows or apps or books whenever we're into.
At the moment, there's something that I really want to
talk about, which has become actually the biggest TV show
in the world. If you've been online, you cannot escape
the well deserved hype about what I think will become
probably one of the most important TV shows of this decade.
(04:54):
And I really mean that. It's a TV show that
I really recommend it. I think it's actually essential viewing
for parents, definitely, but even it's seemed for anyone to
understand what is happening to young kids online. The TV
show is called Adolescens, and technically I've never seen a
TV show made like this. It is a technical masterpiece.
Four episodes. By the way, sixty nine million people have
(05:17):
seen the show in under the last two weeks. The
greatest thing is it's the biggest TV show in the
world right now, and it's really about something so so good.
It's on Netflix and it's four episodes. There are an
hour long each and technically people are raving about it
and they should do because each episode is just one
continuous take. How the cast and crew did this and
(05:38):
pulled off is it's astonisher.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I wouldn't watch that behind the scenes. It isn't told
me about it. Well, it's just incredible what they pulled off.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, and it's not just a technical masterpiece. It's the
story itself is the star. And the thing about this
one shot isn't just like a gimmick. It means that
the camera never leaves the action. It's so it makes
it really really iive about what the storyline is. So
it is about on one lever, it's about knife crime
and a young boy accused of it. There are no
(06:06):
spoilers because this isn't a who done it. In the
first episode, you realize sad that this young boy has
been radicalized online and he has done it. And then
it's every parent's worst nightmare about that cute little boy
who was in his bedroom and you thought was safe
is in another world that you didn't know what was
going on with him. And that is me and every
single parent. You think they're safe when they're in the bedrooms,
(06:26):
but there's another world that we actually don't know much about,
and we spend so much time as parents sort of
teaching them how to cross the roads and don't talk
to strangers. We don't really talk about how on earth
you meant to navigate online. And when I first heard
about it, because it does break you watching this TV show,
but in the right way it does, you need to
watch us. I actually was a scream it. She's like,
(06:47):
I don't want to watch that about a kid Acusan Mona.
But my daughter actually rang me after watching two episodes
a dad, you really need to watch this, So I'm
glad she did. It's incredible. And after watching it, I
actually had big conversations that I've never been able to
have with my eighteen and twenty year old daughters. And
you know me, I'm very close close to both my daughters,
but about their world. I really didn't know how bad
(07:08):
it was. And then all these stories would come out,
stuff that they've tried to tell SA and about images
they've been sent, and when we would then react, they go, oh,
there's no point getting angry. This is just the way
it is. It's normalized. So for any parent, you really
should be watching this TV show. It's a beautiful show.
Stephen Graham. It's a masterclass in acting from him. But
there's this kid who everyone is talking about called Owen Cooper.
(07:32):
He'd never done any acting before in his life. Stephen
Graham Castle is the first scene is episode three, which
everyone keeps talking about. It's one of the best hours
of TV I think I've ever seen. That was the
first episode they shot, so that's his debut in front
of a camera and it. Yeah, I can't. I can't
recommend it enough. It's a really important TV show and
I hope it doesn't sound like I'm lecturing people like
(07:54):
everyone needs to watch it. I invite you to watch it.
And I felt squeamish. I feel embarrassed when I said
to my daughter, I don't want to watch that. That's
a downer. It will break you, but in the right way.
And actually it's a hard, uncomfortable, confrontational watch at times.
But it is an unprecedentally hard time to be a
kid right now. It's harder to be a kid than
when we were growing up. We didn't have to navigate
(08:16):
cyber bullying and everything that's going on right now. It's
called adolescence. Probably most valuable thing I can ever say
on this feature is to watch that show. It's an
incredible show. You guys will seen it, haven't you.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, it is. You can't underuse the word masterpiece. It
really is the best show I've seen in years.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, and it is a good topic open night. If
you have, like Audrey's Nelly fourteen, do sit down with
your child because then it opens the discussion of you know,
it's a good circuit breaker for that. So yeah, highly recommended.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, Okay, we'll come back. The show, don't talking about
It's on Netflix. It's called Adolescence And if you watch it,
send me no afterwards. I'd love to know what it
opened up for you guys in your family as well.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The Christian O'Connell show, Vodka.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Patsy, what are you giving your double thumbs up to?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I am going to buck the trend and it is
a divisive movie that's out in the cinemas at the moment,
and that is Snow White and the live, the live
version of it. You know, they've done all the treatments
for a lot of the others and now they're doing
the classic Waltz Masterpiece, the very first animated movie.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Have you seen it? Parts?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I've seen it. I went to the premiere and we
loved it. We loved it, and look, there is a
lot of controversy around it, but we really really loved it.
I thought it brought it into the modern age. It
wasn't it wasn't woke, it wasn't anything like that. I
thought it was perfectly sack getting it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I've never seen anything.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It's actually go to a movie and just enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Take it on.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It's laura.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I've never seen snow white. It would god it like
the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Nineteen thirty eight is.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You probably went to the premiere red copy. No, that
is it would have been. It would have been a
black and white car.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Shot gun.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
But good on your pants because everybody else is just
it's like a pylon.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Maybe I'm a bit biased. I loved it. Go and
see it while it's in cinemas on the big screen.
It's a great experience. The other thing I think I
found my favorite thing ever that I've brought from ald
and that is their buttered chicken.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You waited there like a micro right, okay of long
standard dishes in the world. Wow, how have they done that?
Put butter and chicken?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
No, no, no, it's producer Caitlin is with me on this.
We were comparing notes the other day.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, easily impressed. No, no, easily impressed. Bogan's shop it No,
I love right, great savings. I'm just saying that in
terms of how easy it is to impress her.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, it's easy, it's quick, it's easy, it's delicious.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Have you tried the Roddy there as well? Because we
have friends who rave about the Oh, I love it.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Right, the juices and yogurts.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's my favorite Indian restaurant. It is called the rotty Body.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
But this is brilliant. Put in the slow cooker.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
On slow slow, I'd accidentally trip and put it in
the microwave. What will happen?
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Well, I'll probably go well robbery, wouldn't it in all leathery?
But but a chicken aldi get on it.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
It's gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Have you thought that? What came? What's going on that sister.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Stopped sending me stuff?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Well, because you've plugged everything ever you did every day,
there's nothing that you haven't given airtime to. Jackie boy,
what are you giving double thumbs up to? This week?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Every Sunday, Bianca and I take it in turns to
plan a family outing and I knocked mine out of
the park. On Sunday we went to this place called
Paint Lab at Blender Studios. It's in West Melbourne and
what they do is you go into this room that
has paint spluttered all over the walls. You put on
protective clothing and they give you a canvas each and
(11:56):
super soakers full of paints, bridges full of paint, growing
paint around.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I want to do something.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I want to paint labat. We took Gordy because we
thought he's making.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Amends all the time anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
But I would highly recommend it, even for adults. It's
not just for kids. That he was the only kid
there that day. It was unbelievable. Funk and I had
so much fun making our canvases. And now we've got
all three of them. Can you bring them home after
they drive?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
That's West Melbourne and it's got the places called Blender
Studios and the experiences called Paint Lab.
