What are you going to watch? What are you going
to read? We've got you. We call it double thumbs
up things that we've been enjoying this week. So for
me this week, it's red. Sometimes you get there were
so many TV shows that start really well, loses a
bit in the middle, and it doesn't end very well.
Untamed was not that it actually got better and better
(01:01):

love that. I went to see f one the movie.
It did come out a couple of weeks ago, but
I really enjoyed it. I went to see it last weekend.
Do you guys when you go to cinema, I'm there,
I want to see the local adverts and the trailers. Yeah.
I love all the voice yes, yes, it's always a
local legal firm and a car dealership.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Those are always never not.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
The local adverts very shoddily made as well, a very brightly.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Lit office somewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You know they're very happy to offer you a free
coffee as well, and come in anytime this week for
a free coffee in a consultation. I love the local adverts, yes,
and then also I love seeing all the trailers. Yeah
that's true, because then you act like you're like an
Oscar's judge went not seeing that crap, but I got
big goosebumps.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I cannot see enough of that Springsteen trainer.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Oh, it come out, It cannot come out quick.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Enough for me. Who's playing Springsteen again, Jeremy Allan.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
What he's got the muscular intensity, he is the boss.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
The balty neck. Yeah, he has got the neck you
need that. He's got that next thing. I don't know
how you got that veiny neck. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And also it's who's the guy who's great actor from
a succession Jeremy Strong. Oh, yeah, you see him in
a movie, you know. Oh, this is a serious movie.
He's a very kind of intense actor, isn't he. Kendall
from That's Yeah, great show anyway. And then this week
me and the kids watch a really funny movie. It's
on Amazon Prime, Heads of State.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Oh that looks I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And we had to watch in two installments. I'll be
honest here, right, I lost them in the first eighteen minutes.
The kids went, there are lots of so called laughs, Dad,
but there's no laughter on the couch.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I said, all right, well.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Come back to it, Matt, and they went, no, No,
this is like one.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Of your movies where we watch it alone.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Anyway, We came back two days later and we finished
the whole thing off. It's good, Okay, okay. Idris elba
is the UK Prime Minister, all right. John Cena is
the American Come on, if you can suspend that kind
of disbelief, you're in for a hell of a ride.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We we loved it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's silly, it's funny, it's unders shamedly probably happy Gilmore too.
It is very funny. The act there are three set
action pieces that are you scream out loud. They're so good.
Author we were buzzed up at the end. It reminds
you of those old fashioned eighties movies.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Right.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
This John scene has actually been in quite a few
good comedy I saw him.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It's Blockers.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yes, really really, he's underrated. He does comedy very well.
Inches Elbow is a great serious actor. But also if
you saw The American Office, he's in a season of that.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
He's terrified and John is saying, it's very hard to interview.
Apparently I have interview John.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
He he was what made Unfortunately, like the radio station
I used to work for, the lift barely worked when
we were up on the third floor, and I would
always go and meet all guests myself downstairs and reception,
so bring them up in the lift, and it rarely worked.
I remember Bono losing it because the lift didn't work,
and he was.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Like, Christian, we were here out two years ago. The
lift did work. Then Christiss station.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
No, he's Irish and Indian and however, right, Bono is
one thing, okay, John Cenia is a huge, beautiful sort
of bespoke suit he had. When I said, hey, listen,
we're up on the third floor, he started swearing.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
He had a and I certainly went no card.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Even the movie they make a joke about how bad
is it running?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And you see it's like big units. They don't they're
not built. He's not on the treadmill, so I said,
and he goes, you kidding me? And I don't know?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
We and so me and him have to march up
in angry science. Me behind this massive back. It was
like I was walking behind a solid oak.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Door and he was going, I've lost count?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Is this the first time? I went, I, but we're
halfway up towards the first to start the interview. It
was like, get me a glass of water.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Anyway, I really loved it. It's called the Heads of State.
All right, let's play a song. We got Bruno Mars
Lots out of Heaven and we go around the team
doing double thumbs up.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
This week the.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We're doing double thumbs up. We go around the team
talk about the things that we're enjoying. This week, Patsy,
what's it for you?
Speaker 7 (06:02):
We saw a great documentary for the fiftieth anniversary of
the Jaws movie, the original Jaws movie. It's called Jaws
at fifty. It's on Disney Plus and it's like lifting
the curtain back on one of the most classic movies
and it's absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Pat to that movie. I mean, we had it a
call it this week. Who actually said, Oh, it's like
a scene in Jaws. Yeah, it's common reference.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Is it Jaws? The music? Yeah, it's sort of.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Its terrified a whole generation our age it of the ocean.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
I can still remember I was about three when our
parents took us three kids to go and see cinema.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It was terrified.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Audrey couldn't get over that. We watched it after we
watched the documentary because.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We wanted her to see it. I believe grandma and
granddad took a three year old.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It's a scary movie.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
It is really in the suspense, but it's absolutely fascinating.
And Steven Spielberg talks about how after he made it,
because there were so many cost blowouts, it just took
so much longer, how he had genuine PTSD after doing it,
and so Orca.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
The boat that they used in the.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Film is now at Universal Studios, which you can see,
and he said when it used to close, he would
go and sit on this boat after the movie was
released and everything, and he said he'd just sit there
and cry.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
He was just so traumatized by making it.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And yeah, because he already had to back himself because
they put when you watch it now because special effects
and CGI and GreenScreen are incredible now. At the time
Jaws was terrifying, but you watch it now, it's the
least terrifying looking thing ever.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It works like some cheap sort of thing you.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Get a Luna Park meganical shuk.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It looked so lame, and he.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Said it would always break down and they'd always hear down,
you know, in their earphone's nuts.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Shark's broken. Oh it's working.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
No, it's broken again, and it just would take ages
to film. But one unknown fact I did not know
about the movie. There were only legitimately like six actors
in it.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
All the rest were Nantucket locals.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
O kidding.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All the beat scenes behind the mayor.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
And were local people that lived at Nantucket where I
was filmed, which gave it that beautiful, almost documentary style
of movie.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I didn't know that. It was fascinating.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
And a couple of the scenes one of the locals
was on the boat. They didn't even give him lines.
He just like said whatever he wanted to say. So
it's brilliant. It's called Jaws at fifty It's on Disney.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Plus.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It terrified my wife so much. I mean, she loves
diving and she still gets nerves about diving because the
movie Jaws. Right, she used to do as a kid,
because she went to see it when she was like five.
I don't know what her parents were thinking of. She
wouldn't get in the bath for weeks. She was terrified
that Jaws was going to get up for the plug
ole and she would make her dad paid and the
plug go and go all clear.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Going to the bathroom, toilet toilet, right, Yes, the local,
the local, there's a there's a sharkskin to come into
the swimming in the middle of that music.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The one most iconic movie scores ever, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
And the other thing that's dropped this week, which if
you've got a teenager girl, a teenage daughter particularly, you
will be right across this.
Speaker 3 (09:05):

until literally two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's called Austin. It's on ABC I View.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
It's an ABC original show, but it feels like a
BBC comedy because it's got Sally Phillips, Bridget Jones and
Glenn Miller, who is in Paddington and English.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
So it's a killer.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Cast and it's got Did you guys watch Love on

Absolutely Love on the Spectrum Season one. Michael who was
whoways always wear a suit? Yes, he is the son
in the show, and not as a cameo, not playing himself.
He's a proper acting roles and it's not like he's
a he's a core character. He's probably the most I
mean it's named after him. He plays Austin of the show. Austin.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
He's brilliant. What a great cast.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
And the plot is, it's a great set up.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
So it is about a children's author who gets canceled
after accidentally retweeting a neo Nazi and it's them trying
to rehabilitate his image and Austin comes in as.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
His let Me get spend Miller is the author?

Christen O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:11):

favorite TV shows stream this weekend, Alex Cullen.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What have you? What are you enjoying at the moment?
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Mane Well, Christian, I am obsessed with the NFL. I
listened to all the podcasts. I try and watch as
much of it as I can.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
It's just so fascinating, the storylines, the strategyes.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You love Friday Night Lines. That's my top three TV
shows of all time.
Speaker 8 (11:36):
Any given Sundays. Yes, oh my goodness, come here.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
The way, touch your bono alpaca.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
Yes, he traveled at showed me the money. No, that's
another that's another one. Anyway, So I'm watching this show
called Quarterback.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's great Netflix. It follows three quarterbacks. So who do
you like? Cousins or Mahomes.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Or I'm a big fan of Jared Goff because he
came to the Detroit Lions from the l A Rams,
and the la Rams basically discarded him. The Detroit Lions
saw something in him and brought him on. I see
myself in him in some way.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Wow, you know I didn't expect you to go anyway, he.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
Was given a chance, he was given another opportunity.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
So you're on QB one.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, I get it, you do have an aasory thinks
they're QB.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
One, But it is the hardest position in sports.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And that's why job because at the captain that everything everything.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
They had to know what the defense is doing, what
their own team's doing, uh.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And have to memorize for weeks all the coaches plays.
I didn't know any of this until I watched the
Tom Brady documentary Generating.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, he is the greatest athlete. I think they ever
leave that guy.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
He is incredible. But quarterback, it's really cool because you
get to see behind the scenes. You see what these
quarterbacks go through. You have the the Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Kirk Cousins snapping his achilles tender, yes, and that the
whole rehab and going through movie team. So you know,
sport is life, folks, and like, you see what these
guys go through, and I think it's really fascinating insight.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Next week on the show, we need to come back
to the greatest sporting athlete ever. Tom Brady's a big claim,
big one, big one. Yeah, you got You've got there's
so many other Max Gorm excuse me.
