Hell Yeah, good morning Patty, Hello, and happy Friday. Alex
Cullen Boom. You sound surprised, Rio, you won't show on Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:38):

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, any reasons here, we all know that.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Anyway, listen, let's get through then, double thumbs up, Alex.
We do this every Friday the start of the show
because you know what it's like on a Friday night.
Families are on the counches. There's too much choice. What's good,
what's bad. It doesn't matter what you want to watch.
You've got to somehow get the vector of what you
happy with, your partner, the kids. It's a compromise. There's
(01:12):
actually too much choice these days. There there's too much
stuff to watch on about eighty billion streaming services now.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
After them, I don't even know what I'm paying for.
I've got some building.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
They're like, I've never even heard of this, and the
kids have got some VPN now where they're watching Tunnel
Bear or whatever it is on I'm shelling out now
for a bear.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So anyway, we call it double thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We go around the team, we talk about the shows
that we're into this week. So a couple of things
for me then kick off this week. Something to listen to.
I talked to before about how I love the podcast SmartLess.
Jason Bitlan went on and Sean it's a very funny show.
The guests they head in a couple of weeks, Hugh
Grant the funniest episode ever.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Really, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I actually pulled over at one at one moment to
rewind it and laugh again. Hugh Grant is a funny,
funny guy, right. I remember I watching an interview last
year with Jerry Seinfeld when he had that Netflix movie
out and hughes in it, and he talks about how
he had dinner with you, and Hugh just said, I
want to be in the movie, and Jerry said to him,
there's not a role in it. And also we have
(02:15):
an auditioned. He goes, I'm an audition shoe run and
Jerry said he's one of the funniest people I've ever met,
was getting so drunk, and I put him in the
movie just because he was just so funny. There's this
grumpy and she is like that, but he is the
way he talks about his kids and his wife.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
This is a funny.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That is an outstanding hour, And no matter what you've
got going on in your life right now, everyone always
leaves a laugh.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And that is relentlessly funny.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I always Hugh Grant on SmartLess is the podcast and
then a couple of things to watch. I spoke a
couple of weeks ago you land up watching it as well,
American Manhunt Bin Laden, and it realized there's three documentaries
they've made under this banner of American man Hunt. So
there's been Larden and then there's three episodes of an
OJ Simpson. One now about eight years ago. There was
(03:04):
a brilliant dramatization Oh J versus the people there was
really good. However, this three parter is the definitive look
at everything. Is interviews with everybody again and they've gone
and found load more stuff, like with the search of
Bin Laden. Just when he thought you're up to speed it,
you're not. You learn so much more from it and
It really takes you back to that time and place
(03:27):
just after the La Riots and all the characters there.
It's mesmerizing, absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
This is called O. J. Simpson. Cannot recommend that enough.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Tough to be in the same series as a Summer
Bin Laden.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And then the third one my daughter doesn't watching at
the moment, is about someone who disappeared from a cruise
ship twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yes, yes, I've looked quite a mixed bunchout it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, I'm out on that one. Ye, yeah, I'm out
on that one. So anyway, that one's really good. And
then the other thing is our very own. He lives
in the city. Eric Banner on Netflix on a horse,
Yes please. Eric Banner is like a training sheer ass.
Yeah he's peppery, but he's aging beautifully. Oh my god.
(04:14):
Both Sam Nil's in it as well. Both of them
are pulling off that they're park rangers with American accidents.
You just get two Americans, Nil and Eric Banner. It's
called Untamed Murder Mystery in Yosemite Park.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Good luck. It's flipping massive.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Your boy, Eric Banner has got like Spider Man, but
for eyes. He's on that big old he's on that
big old Horsey sud He's like this, what the hell,
there's a gunshot ricochet. Then you're like, Eric, special agent,
see that because he's Eric Banners riding on that beautiful water.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Oh my god, he's come a long way from the castle, hasn't.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
He's out of a lovely log cabin.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
However, suddenly towards the end of.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The first episode you realize why he's a little bit
grumpy and he prefers silence, sadness. I was watching watching
with the family and we're all obviously eyes forward. My
two daughters go without even looking. That's crime right now.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I went on, is it something to do with a
daughter leaving home?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Or son? Fictional? A fictional thing? Oh god, oh god,
get it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Eric, there's face on that blanket for me to stare
at the stars, washing every day under that shoe stoff
for the same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh the pain. I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Emy. Christian O'Connell show on podcast about the things, the
shows that we're enjoying at the moment, Patsy wants a few.

It's a thriller, brilliant.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
He is amazing in it. It's almost like a Jeckyll
hide though. When I was watching it, because he's brilliant.
He it's almost like you're watching his character when you
see Paddington. Paddington is in, you know, you want to
like him. He's likable and he's smiling and you think, oh, yeah,
you just like in Paddington. And then there's this other
(06:35):
side to him, where is a serial killer?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And I mean that's real range you know the acts
of Felix in Paddington too, But wait, he's also a
serial killer.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Wait? What was Paddington bando about?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Folix name in Paddington that's my favorite trilogy. But he's
so likable on the screen, and I found myself physically
smiling watching it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I'm thinking, a serial killer.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I shouldn't be smiling because I know he's about to.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Do and that fall in love with Syraculus and marry
them in President.

how he used to get work as a leading man.

Yeah, he said. Now he's that.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Age in the way he looks only is basically psychopathic.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You can no heretic.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I highly recommend it. It's brilliant and if you do
get the chance, go and see Annie at the Princess
Theater in Melbourne. It's so beautiful. It's got like the
godfather of Australian theater, Anthony Waldow in it. He plays
is he Anny, No, he's Daddy Robbert. They've got a
real Grudle in it who is absolutely adorable, and it's
(07:56):
got Greg Page, the original Yellow Wiggle and wow, it
was so beautiful. I took my fourteen year old and
when I didn't tell her he plays the President and
as he comes out on stage, I didn't tell Aud's
and she was right into the Wiggles. She was part
of Emma's army. Your kids, Alex, I'm love sure Wiggles. Yeah,
And when he came out, Audrey did like this audible

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast double thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We go around the team on a Friday, we talk
about the TV shows that we're into the moment. It
might be a movie or TV show that you watched
this weekend. Rio, what's the f you?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Mate?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I reckon? I found movie of the Year for twenty
twenty five Sinners. It was in cinemas. It's only now
just made it to streaming. It's on HBO Max, it
is in.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I've seen nothing but outstanding reviews for this, saying it's
the masterpiece.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And I didn't think necessarily, Okay, it's Michael B. Jordan's
great who is and hot just like the hottest man.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I interviewed him and in the flesh and the person
with what a beautiful man. If I could pick two
men to ride on a horse with it'd be Eric Banner,
Eric Banner up front, me and in the middle, and
then Michael Jordan anyway too much.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I should have kept it to my sound. Sorry. It's
a good movie, is it. There's not just one Michael b.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Jordan's, there's two Michael b Jordan's. Whoa he plays twin
gangsters in sort of the Prohibition era and they open
up an old duke joint that gets invaded by ancient
Irish vampires.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Wow, okay, all right, you got me now.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It is incredible.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
It starts off like a Tarantino sort of spaghetti western,
then becomes this.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It looks heavily steyinized.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, but it's shot on real film. It's used the
same the same exact same camera as they're used for
Oppenheimer and The Dark Night.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
So it looks beautiful.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
There is a ten minute scene in there that is
one of the most stunning, like scorchingly beautiful scenes you'll
ever see in.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
So this is that's it. I'm sold. I'm watching it
this weekend.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
You got to watch it. You gotta watch it.
Speaker 1 (10:24):

Speaking of Irish rio, I have been right into this
series called kin k I n.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
About the kinselling gangsters in k W A gang and Dublin.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It is unbelieved Dublin, you say, hard to tell by
the accent. It's so like come Mumbai, a drunk Scottish.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Person perhaps listen. It was unbelievable. It changed me as
a human being. It is that good. It's like ninety
four percent on Rotten Tomas.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's got a Charlie what's his name in from Daran Devil,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's got Aiden Gillen who was a
little Finger in Game of Throne.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He's a great Irish accent, great Irish act. And there's
also the guy who's because I've just started watching it
because you were talking about it. It's very good. There's
an Irish guy in that with a big beard who
plays Joseph Kinsella, who is all Also when the recent
Irish Mobland that I've been watching Tom Hardy, so hang on,
he's working for two different Irish families when Pearce Brazenin
finds them out.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
This so well, is it Francis McGee There might be
Francis McGee. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):

I kind of know Dublin quite well to the north
from the you live with a gangsta dig your TV

Speaker 2 (11:34):

cobbles passes.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Coming back to help me, isn't it? No, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
And then you go, wait the free one SBS one
simple emails.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Or to log in. What they do with that email?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
They do nothing with it because they're wholesome. They won't
sell out details. They're just looking after our emails.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
In case you get from so annoying, begon and say
it kin And also Round the Twist unbelievable. So Paul
Jennings wrote the book, of course, and way back and
I think the nineties two thousand they made a TV
series on it, and it's wonderful with kids, you can
rediscover these shows and Prime Video is running the old
Round the Twists and it's just such amazing viewing. And
(12:24):
little did we know that it was filmed here in Victoria.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's right, the Lighthouse is down the Turkey. You should
take the kids there.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Done absolutely bit of a road trip to drive down
there as well.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And starring Frankie j Holden as well, who I keep
running into in Melbourne.

To him again. You're kidding Park We locked eyes weirdly.
I was like, oh do I say good?
Speaker 3 (12:50):

because I want my kids to meet him and say, hey,
here's the dodgy Man.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Your kids enjoying it. They're all under six, so what
do they make of it? They love it because some
of those episodes are pretty trippy. There's a really.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Scary one with this scarecrow and they won't watch that one.
Sort of fast forwarded those bits. But like there's there's
amazing fantasy and wonder and it's Ozzy as well, which
I really.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Love, and it's got that to know Melbourne as well.
Speaker 3 (13:19):

about the TV shows that we're into the moment. It
might be a movie or TV show that you watched
this weekend. Rio, what's the f you?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Mate?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I reckon? I found movie of the Year for twenty
twenty five Sinners. It was in cinemas. It's only now
just made it to streaming. It's on HBO Max, it
is in.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I've seen nothing but outstanding reviews for this, saying it's
the masterpiece.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And I didn't think necessarily, Okay, it's Michael B. Jordan's
great who is and hot just like the hottest man.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I interviewed him and in the flesh and the person
with what a beautiful man. If I could pick two
men to ride on a horse with it'd be Eric Banner,
Eric Banner up front, me and in the middle, and
then Michael Jordan anyway too much.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I should have kept it to my sound. Sorry. It's
a good movie, is it. There's not just one Michael b.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Jordan's, there's two Michael b Jordan's. Whoa he plays twin
gangsters in sort of the Prohibition era and they open
up an old duke joint that gets invaded by ancient
Irish vampires.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Wow, okay, all right, you got me now.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It is incredible.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
It starts off like a Tarantino sort of spaghetti western,
then becomes this.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It looks heavily steyinized.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, but it's shot on real film. It's used the
same the same exact same camera as they're used for
Oppenheimer and The Dark Night.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
So it looks beautiful.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
There is a ten minute scene in there that is
one of the most stunning, like scorchingly beautiful scenes you'll
ever see in.
Speaker 1 (10:19):

four percent on Rotten Tomas.

sell out details. They're just looking after our emails.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
In case you get from so annoying, begon and say
it kin And also Round the Twist unbelievable. So Paul
Jennings wrote the book, of course, and way back and
I think the nineties two thousand they made a TV
series on it, and it's wonderful with kids, you can
rediscover these shows and Prime Video is running the old
Round the Twists and it's just such amazing viewing. And

Your kids enjoying it. They're all under six, so what
do they make of it? They love it because some
of those episodes are pretty trippy. There's a really.

Sort of fast forwarded those bits. But like there's there's
amazing fantasy and wonder and it's Ozzy as well, which
