Episode Transcript
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and borders that this podcast
is recorded on.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Good Morning, Spillers and other days upon us and with
it more juicy entertainment news to get us through the morning.
I'm ash London, and just like you can count on
Reread to pop out another kid when all we want
is an album, you can count on me to keep
you up to date with everything that's happening amongst the
stars today. We've got everything from Daddy Pedro stepping out
(00:51):
in Sydney to the Emmy Knoms. I've done us a
nice drunk Hammama this morning, so let's get pouring. After
their December proposals, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Officially in wedding planning mode.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The star studded wedding is going to be happening in Montecito,
which I think will hence always be known as Harry
in Meghan's neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Let's be honest. The wedding is happening in September of
this year.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It's gonna last two days and featuring mostly close friends
and family, including likely appearances of course, from her best
du Tay tape, and we're hearing the invitations have officially
been sent out, So this baby's happening. Check your mailboxes.
Come on, Australia Post, come through with the goods. I'm kidding,
I'm going to not expected invitation now. Benny is Jewish,
(01:36):
so we'll no doubt see some Jewish traditions incorporated into
the ceremony, hopefully some killer musical performances. I love these
guys together so much. I'm so happy they're getting married.
I cannot wait to see how beautiful she looks on
her wedding day. Next up, if you're in ours and
the airfields, decidedly sexier, more daddy like than I have.
(01:56):
The reason Pedro Pascal has stepped out on our fair shows,
I repeat, Pedro Pascal has stepped out in Sydney in
a sheer shirt.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I can't. It's like he's teasing me.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's like he's personally teasing me with the outfits, and
he knows what he's doing. He appeared alongside his Fantastic
four First Steps co stars Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and
Eban Moss Bakrach at the City premiere last night for
the film, which is scheduled for a July twenty five release.
The Red carpet was absolutely heaving. Fans had been there
(02:26):
for hours and hours and hours in order to catch
a glimpse of Daddy and Vanessa. Kirby looked so radiant
and so pregnant. Although I would be pregnant too if
I'd spend that much time around Petro, so.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Make it stick around.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Up next, the next big musical adaptation on the cards
for Ariana Grande, and this one has got me absolutely
losing my mind. The Emmy nominations are officially out. An
Apple TV psychological thriller Severance and hbos DC Universe drama
The Penguin have stacked up the most nominations at the Emmy.
(03:03):
Severance scoring twenty seven nominations, not bad and nominated for
the top fries of Best Drama alongside The Pier, The
White Lotus and others. Now The Penguins, starring Colin Barrell
earned twenty four nominations. My god, it's going to compete
for Best Limited Series. I still haven't seen The Penguin
because it looks too scary, but Colin Barrel is unbelievable.
(03:25):
Hollywood Satire, The Studio and The Iconic White Lotus of
twenty three each not bad, and then the likes of
Hacks the Bear, Nobody Wants This and Abbott Elementary also
competing for Best Comedy Mini Series. My Money is got
to be on Nobody Wants This? I mean, has there
ever been a greater show? If if the category was
(03:46):
just like Best Kiss, then that would definitely get it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Takes a bag, puts the ice cream down, Chef's Kiss.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Noah Wiley receives his first Emmy nomination since nineteen ninety
nine for his role as an emergency room doctor on
The Pit. I have loved him for so long. He
was nominated five times for his role in Er Back
in the Day but never won. So wouldn't that just
be the most amazing full serve cool moment? And at
age eighty three, Harrison Ford has earned his first Emmy
(04:14):
nod ever for playing a grumpy therapist on Shrinking. If
you haven't seen that show, get around it. It is so fantastic.
The Emmy winners will be announced at the Red Carpet
ceremony on September fourteen. Now We Loved Wicked and Now
director John M. Two is back with another adaptation for film,
and this time it is Doctor Seuss, Oh the Places
You'll Go. It's going to be turned into a film.
(04:36):
One of my favorite books of all time. This one's
starring Ariana Grande and Josh Gad aka Olaf from Frozen.
The actor shared photos of both of them holding binders
with their scripts over their faces in a recording studio.
Josh said, never been more excited to go places. We
are dreaming up something very special for you, he said.
Warner Brothers Animation is put together a truly all star team.
(05:00):
I've been dying to work with Ariana and John for
a while. This is so, so exciting. One of the
most magical, inspiring books being brought to life with one
of the most exciting directors on the planet. Josh gad
is Musical Royalty. Ariana Grande is Ariana Grande. I can't
wait for more information. I can't wait to see it.
I love everything about this project and that is us
(05:22):
for Morning Tea.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
