Speaker 1 (05:34):
Go to Nazi RSL. You might do a Family Night
Pats Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Right now, we're doing recommendations station our Friday recommendations, TV shows,
movies you might want to stream or watch this weekend.
All right, two from me one a B. I think
Apple TV's best TV show is Shrinking. The new season
is back now. I cannot recommend that show enough, laugh
out loud, funny and so much heart as well. Brilliant lineup.

(06:05):
Jason Segal remember him? And also Harrison Forward. You know
Stall looks great. He's so charismatic it is brilliant. It's
a TV show the whole family sit down and watch.
There's so much in it as well. It's brilliant.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
What a coupling, Yeah, Ford and Siegel.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh yeah, finally we get it. And then my next
one is another coupling. Matt and Ben. We're back, Ben Affleck,
Matt Damon. Yes, what I call it's a Matt flick,
Matt Fleck. Actually it's a Matt Fleck.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
The Rip. You might have seen this advertised big movie.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
On Netflix Straight to Netflix, starring these two these If
you're not these two boys I yoked together forever on
they just are now The Rip. The first half an
hour is one of the most exciting and compelling thirty
minutes I've seen from movie in years. The rest of
the movie can't sustain that. It's the most complicated dirty cop,

(07:03):
dirty cop thriller I've ever seen. I couldn't work out
hang on, who's doing what to so much so a
couple of days later I went back and watched it
again to try.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
And make sense. Even though I know the ending, Like
Lord of the Ring, it was just so complicated.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
It's so intricate. It's a Faberge egg. It's a checkov play.
On a second viewing, it's even more enjoyable. Okay, because
a lot, a lot of it is I don't know
the tirty copies. I'm so confused right now. And also
it's really dimly lit. Give them what shows are you
know what? It's squinting, get the contrast up close the curtains.

(07:40):
Why is it so dark? The movie's not doesn't it
doesn't benefit from me. They're not in a mind shaft,
They're in a house. But I loved it. It's a
real throwback to those nineties sort of movies. They cannot
recommend it enough, but not on first viewing, Christian, are
you sure about it?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
The rip does not rip. But on the second viewing,
go back again.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Now you know what's happening, you can relax, turn your
brain off, and then it's a lot more injouable. Then
the rip really does rip. And also I find ben
Affleck just mesmerizing. You know, it's just something about he
does something scene, he's being interviewed.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Is he a dirty cop? What's going on? It's Ben Affleck.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
There's crazy stuff already happening in intensity there and a
strange dye color to his hair and beard, the stuff
that actually you only see you on Steven Sigar. You
see that hair color like that's not that's not human hair?
What color is that? You know you're going to buddings
and you know I want I want to black like that.
It's not possible, but it's on Steve. It's the top

(08:46):
his head, so it's his hair and his goaty is
all painted this strange color and not what's going what's
going on? Benny boys? Everything right there? Then he does
something with a cigarette. I rewound a couple of times
up what what's he doing with this cigarette?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
What was he doing? Don't you've got to see it?
It doesn't I'm like like a trick or like I
don't know what he's doing with it? Again, but again
this is the actor.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
We've look to me.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Now, what's going on with what benefit can do with
the cigarette? In that opening scene with that strange hair
dye the rip rips? Second time round? What's it for you?

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I've got a product, actually an Ossie invention by an
Ossie mum on maternity leave that will seriously it has
changed our lives. It's called the produced pods and they're
these little like I thin I guess the size of
a large lunch box. And you put your fresh veggies, fruit,
whatever herbs in it, and I don't know how it
does it, what it's doing, it is some sort of magic,

(09:39):
some sort of wizardry. It keeps everything that you put
in there fresh for like six to eight weeks.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
How does it take out?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Like?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
What is it? Is it the nitrous oxide that I.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Have no idea what they do.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
She don't want to avocado last in there because they
perish in half a second.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
We've had so you know how long, Like coriander lasts
like barely last two days, wilt so quickly. We've had
coriander in there from two fridays ago. It is still.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Australia right now. So find away.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Thanks to RHEO of making my coreander last longer.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
This is why they gave.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Us a national show exactly shutting out the problems in life.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Coriander going off.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
You will never have stuff go off, I promise it is.
You will be gobsmacked at how.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Long it lies away.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
No, No, it's a soft it's it's like a soft
bag and inside it's got this extra lining in it
that you keep a little bit damp and that's all
it is. There's nothing, there's no sort of there's no
other you know.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Something there we'd use in space.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yes, yeah, you can't.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
You can't be chucking out soggy letters or thrown avocados
up there. You can't sun it lands on someone in
Mexico through that.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Where do you get them?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
You can only get them online. They called produced pods.
You probably only need two for your fridge, but they
they fit quite a lot in.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
It is brilliant. I don't know how she does it,
but it's amazing.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
