The two Kates aren't in it, I don't believe, but
they are brilliant. They've done a lot of really funny
ABC work before and it is just there's no other
show like it.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's really really By the way, what happened? You only
plug your sister's TV show once? Just keep doing it

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Is happening Monday for you, buddy boy?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
So once more, It's on at eight pm tonight at
the Museum eight pm Wednesdays, or you could watch it
right now on ABC I view.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Well, listen to the show. What about Patsy's News?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
And you are all over the place, all over the place.
That's number's gone to your head all right, double thumbs up.
Two recommendations for me. First one is a movie my
wife and I finally got around to seeing. It was
nominated for Oscars. It's on Netflix. It's called Train Dreams.
I have not seen a movie as beautiful and as
moving as that. How Joel Editing didn't win an Oscar

(03:52):
for what at best thing he's ever done. And he
is an incredible Australian act to such a talent, he
is amazing. It is a beautiful movie, right, you know,
sometimes you see you find it, says saying, they don't
make movies like that very often they don't.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
It feels like a movie from a different time.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
It is so beautifully done everything about it. It's a
deeply moving and thinking film about life, and it's so good.
The ending is beautiful. My wife and I were in
tears at the end of it. Not not heavy tears,
but just joy's tears about what it is to live
a life and everything you'll go through together is oh
my god. I cannot recommend Train Dreams enough. It's wrong

(04:29):
because often these days now when we're streaming movies at home,
it's so much easier. But because easy, you don't engage
with it. The same way you do at the cinema.
You know, at the moment, Ryan Gorsney is saying, go
and see his new movie at the cinema. And it's
not our jobs to save cinema's movie makers need to
make better movies, you know. And actually, when we're streaming
at home, you have your your half watching it, aren't you.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
You've got your phone your check it. So let me
see what the footy scores are.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I noticed that within twenty minutes my wife and I
didn't touch our phones.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Wow, where you are?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Just you're you're compelled, You're drawn into this beautiful movie.
It is so good. Can I recommend that enough? You
won't be disappointed. You'll be emailing me over the w weekend.
If you watch it, you will have a lot to
say about it. It's beautiful. Train Dreams is the name
of the movie. It's on Netflix. And the other thing,
which is about for a second season that is TV
is TV. That's a work of art. It's a hidden

(05:20):
camera show called Jury Duty two.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Why is the second season?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I did not know that second season is So it's
a hidden camera show. It's all improvactors and there's one
member of the public who doesn't know he's the unwitting
star of a hidden camera show. They're on a company retreat, right,
and this cast it really well. Is that he's such
a lovely, likable guy and they're all improvactors.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Incredible.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
The first season better than that, groundbreaking pieces of TV
I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yea, yeah, Jury Duty is called It's on Amazon Prime.
The second season is outstanding. You don't need to have
seen the first one. It is so funny. It's genius.
I don't know how they do it. It's incredible. It's
called company Retreat Jury Duty two. All right, we've got
the news spot on the way. What are you enjoying
