Speaker 1 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and borders
that this podcast is recorded on From Mamma Mia. Welcome
to this spill your daily pop culture fixed. I'm Laura Brodnick, I'm.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Kelly mccaren and I'm here and I'm so excited. I
love filling in on Weekend Watch. Friday is always my
favorite day for any show, pretty much like you Beauty,
It's my favorite show.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's another show that I host shout out to movies.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'm just so excited and it's the one time of
the year pretty much that I watch TV.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yes, I love this. I love that you're prepping through
the week you were on it. You're like, I'm taking
this seriously. Well, we've had to start doing Weekend Watch
is a whole separate episode because the appetite from our
listeners is so intense.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
For people love recommendation, said.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
This so much, and also there's just been so much
good stuff coming out. And I don't know if you
know what this about me. I'm not a short talker,
Like I can't just do oh my god, really, I
have to always you can't just be.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Like, this is coming up tomorrow, this is coming out.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Of all I must monologue, I must give thoughts, feelings,
I must tell people what it was like in the
cinema we watched it. I must go into the history
of the actors. We've got to give the people the information.
So it's spawn into its own thing. But I'm very
excited that you're here today because you've got some good recommendations.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well hopefully.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, yeah, there's actually quite a lot coming out this week.
So we've gone through and kind of pulled out the
best movies and TV shows.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well the most type, if you will, yes, because the
first one that we are going to talk about today
is one that neither ever seen and probably won't see
it to probably on the list for wee can watch. Well,
it's just been so talked about for the past couple
of years. So Rust is finally being released internationally. In
case you didn't know, I didn't to be fair, it
(01:54):
is the name of the Alec Baldwin film where devastatingly
someone passed on set.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, Helena Hutchins passed away on set when Alec Bourbyn
fired a gun at her. That was filled. So the
armor of the film who was the person in charge
of all the guns on set. I didn't do it.
He is in Yeah, she's in prison now, and Alec Baldwin,
after going to court for it, was clear of all charges.
But it's been a huge awful thing and obviously like.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
He's never going to be able to live with that,
Like having to struggle with that for the rest of
his life is just so awful. And her poor family, Like, yeah,
there are so many levels of awfulness and to be
honestly quite surprised that it went ahead.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, because they did go back and reshoot some extra scenes,
like they resumed filming and now they've edited the movie
together and released it. Although I think there's a lot
of tension because the director of the movie, who was
also like in the firing line on the awful day
that all happened and was injured, has sort of said that, like,
you know, he's not a huge fan of Alec Baldwin
at the moment, and I think a lot of people
who worked on the film aren't loving Alec Balwin's reality
(02:54):
TV show with his wife Ilaria, because the first few
episodes centered on him kind of telling his own side
of the story.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, it was almost like he was cashing in and
capitalizing on the horrors of that.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I was really surprised when I heard the movie was
still going to come out, because I understand like their
point of view that, like, we've been working on this
for years, We've shot so much of it. There's a
lot of people who still need to be paid, like
huge amounts of cast and crew working on this scene.
But I'm just like, who wants to watch this movie?
And maybe some people will watch it because of like
a weird kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It's a bit strange.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
If you think I'm desperate to go see that film, Yeah,
I mean I haven't even watched the trailer.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Does it look good?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I mean I haven't only looked at the trailer.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I feel weirded out by the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And it feels like even just the networks are kind
of the same. Because so I read that it is
finally coming out, So it's been released on May second,
so that is today, but it's probably considered US times,
so it would be more like tomorrow morning in AU.
But it's like, no cinema has announced that they'll be
screening it, no platform has come out and said that
(03:56):
they will be hosting it. Someone obviously is going to though, Yeah,
but we just don't know because I guess they don't
want to publicize it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, I haven't seen anything, because like every studio sends
me a list of all the different movies they have
coming out every month. I get like the media release
is with like the cast info and the release date
and the trailers. And I've had nothing about this obviously.
It's not like anyone's gonna hold a premiere or a
screening or anything like that. But I wonder if it's
maybe just a licensing across a few different streamers and
I'll just start popping up in like newly added movies.
(04:24):
But they won't put it in a splash or anything.
I guess, just to put it out there.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Because you know what as well, Like we are in
the industry, so we know the story. Not everyone would
to be fair, yeah, or they would have forgotten or
not put two and two together that that was the film,
yeah exactly, So a lot of people might just be, oh,
there's a great new movie out and they won't have any.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, well, if anyone watches it, like, no judgment if
you watch it, obviously, Like, but you gotta let us
know if you uncover it somewhere and yeah, not one,
I'll be adding to my watch.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
My dad loves westerns, so he probably would and probably
wouldn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, and he probably isn't hasn't remembered it happened years
and years ago, so maybe he'd be one of those
kind of people just turn on, just watch the movie
and be like Alec Bourben's in a movie, which again
a lot of people do, and that's totally fine.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
No, Speaking of other movies, I went to two premiere
this week for two new things that have come out.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm so I'm excited to hear about them. What was
your favorite? Start with that one.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I was going to do them in the order I
watched them, but because I don't know if I can
quite pick a favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But come on, are you not allowed to?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
No? Just internally, like, this is an internal struggle that
I'm having at the moment over which one was my favorite? No,
the second one was my favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It was you can't stop smiling about it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
About Okay, but I'm going to do this one first.
Everyone's like, just say, Kelly, I have a plan. Sorry, okay, Okay,
So the first premiere, I went to this week that
is out now on Prime Video. Is another simple favor.
So have you seen the original? A simple favor sort
of Okay, you need to actually think you would really
love it. I like, I just got to move board,
(05:49):
so I think I was doing something else at the
same time. Okay, no, no, no, just watch it again. Like
I don't say it lightly when I recommend movies to people,
but this is a wildly entertaining movie LDR.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Like Anna Kendrick's character be friends Blake Lively's character. They
become best friends, but then Blake Lively disappears and Anna
Kendrick sleeps with the husband.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, yes, that is a way I could watch it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I watched it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
There's more because the dialog. So both movies are directed
and created by Paul fig who is an incredible director.
We've had him on the Spiel before. I'm such a fan.
So he's like the man responsible for like Bride'smaids and
all those kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You had him on.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, I have photos with him.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Where was I that day? I would have sat on
his lap and said, please, sir, put me in one
of your funny themes.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So freaking interesting and amazing. He's just got an ie
for dialogue and character and everything. He's just he's amazing.
So he directed A simple Favor, which came out in
twenty eighteen. So yes, it sars Anna Kendrick as she's
a mom borger. She's a single mom, her husband passed
away as a bit of a backstory with how she
got pregnant with her son. The other moms and dads
at school don't like her because she's a bit of
(06:50):
a weird tryhard and then Blake Lively's Emily Nelson comes
onto the scene, and this is Blake Lively's best acting role.
Usually I use the word actress very lightly for her
because I feel like she.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Just plays Serena in everything.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
To be fair, she has always said that she hates
when people think she's acting Gossip Girl because she's like,
that's a caricature. I'm not really acting. It's just like
a you know, it's just an amalgamation of a two
different things, Whereas in this she's great. So she plays
Emily Nelson and she arrives in this small town and
her son is going to the same school as Stephanie
played by Anna Kendrick, and Blake Lively's character Emily Nelson is,
(07:26):
you know, so chic, so impressive, so mysterious. They become
friends just because their kids are friends. And then yes,
when she goes missing, Stephanie starts investigating Emily's appearance, and
this whole wild situation erupts with like family members and
burnt down houses and secret identities and secret twin sisters
(07:47):
and it's a whole situation. But it's such an entertaining movie,
and it looks so incredible, Like the clothing is incredible,
the sets are it's just very entertaining. And so when
everyone heard that another simple favor was coming out, Well,
the biggest thing is that everyone thought that Ada Kendrick
and Blake Lively hated each other, which I guess like
maybe at the time, I was like, oh, is there
a bit of adamosity there? But I actually don't think
(08:08):
they ever did.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I think they probab just aren't best friends and who cares.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yes, But I also think maybe because both of them
sometimes with their co stars. Anna Kendrick spends all her
time with the Pitch Perfect Girls that she's super close
with them, and Blake Lively has been close with a
lot of her different co stars over the years, not
lately messed up who A lot of people kind of
think like, see, she's a mean girl, and I'm like,
I think it's the same thing. Whereas like with leydon Anda,
they're all just like colleagues who get along but maybe
(08:32):
don't hang out in their spare time.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I don't hang out with everyone in my spare time, but.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Blake Lively is still like best friends with like the
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Girls.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
So I don't know, Okay, I have a thought, yes,
that movie for both of them, so Pitch Perfect and
Sisterhood both so young.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think so too groups of girls, but also multiple movies.
So exactly when it was announced that Another Simple Favor
was coming out, I was like, there's no way these
two women who have so much money, who could book roles,
There's no way they'd come back to this movie if
they hated each other. So I actually think they get
along quite well. And the thing is, their on screen
chemistry together is incredible, Like they just bounce off each
(09:08):
other so well in the first movie, but also in
the second movie, maybe a bit more because their characters
know each one are on the same footing. So the
end of Another Simple Favor which I don't want to
spoil too much.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You haven't watched how old is it? Seven years old?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Fine, just tell us.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Emily Nelson Blake Lively's character goes to prison at the end,
and what for for killing people?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I can't remember? That's okay, Yeah, like this is what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I don't I don't remember. After identity fraud, oh, very
bit of light murder, you know, all those bits and
pieces attempted murder on Anna Kendricks's character know. So then
we pick up many years later in another simple favor,
and Anna Kendrick's character, Stephanie has just written a book
about Emily and she's moved on all that sort of stuff.
(09:51):
And then Emily is released from prison and she comes
and finds her, and everyone thinks she's going to kill her,
but instead she tells her she's getting married in Capri.
That's how she says, Cabri in Italy. And she blackmails
Stephanie into coming to her fancy wedding to be her
maid of honor. And so we've got a lot of the.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Murder someone and then you want them to be your
mate of honor.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I like it, Yeah, and exactly and there's this hole
back and forth, and so all I can sort of
describe it is is this kind of like absolutely wild
Bonker's Keeper. Everyone was like, this is too much, it's
two over the top, and I was like, no, no,
Paul fig knows what he's doing with this. He has
gone all in. Yeah, in spite he was inspired by
this very fancy wedding by a Vogue editor many years
(10:33):
ago in Capri, where he's like, it was so of
the top. So we kind of took that idea and
then meshed it with this murder plot and brought in
like Blake Lively playing multiple characters and it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Where's the husband and the child from the first film?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, they're there. Henry Golding's back. Kenry Golding said because
he filmed Crazy Rich Asians because he wasn't an actor,
he was like a TV presenter, so he got tapped
to being Crazy Rich Asians and then he was cast
in a simple favor. So this is his second movie.
So his caveat for coming back to another simple Favor
was that his character would be kind of a bit
more off the rails, which he is. So basically, you
have all of these people in Capri in this fancy hotel,
(11:09):
Blake Lovely's character is getting married and a murder happened, well,
actually multiple murders happen. Oh no, then they have to
sort of solve it again. Yeah, well who does this time? Well,
I mean there is some good twists in there. So
it's so funny because I went to the premiere and
it's just like all the whole two back rows. I
was sitting with just all mom and mere girls and
everyone was screeching. And there is one plot line that
(11:30):
upset a lot of people and it might make you
think of the White Lotus.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Oh no, no, no, Laura, Yeah no, I'm not watching
it now.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, so you probably don't be talking about tag incest. Yeah,
just still disliked, just slightly. It's the new done thing
in movies now, so I don't I just thought it
was the kind of perfect movie. I don't know if
i'd say everyone like, definitely go buy a ticket to
go to the cinemas. But it's releasing on streaming, it's
releasing on Prime video. I didn't even know what was
at the cinema. I thought it was straight to No,
it's straight to video. It's on Prime video now. So
(12:01):
this is what I'm saying. It is the perfect movie. Yeah,
or like Friday Night on the couch, glass of wine
and you just want to like get completely lost in
a bond her story and watch. Also, their clothes are amazing,
Like it's just the most over the top. Blake Lively
wears a hat in one scene that is bigger than
my car, like, and it's so good just to see
(12:21):
her walllzing through like Italy in this crazy hat in
these and like her wedding outfit. It's just so yeah,
oh my god. Okay, I'm gonna watch it this weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm sorry, just.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Such perfect, perfect escape show.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You think it matters if I don't remember much about
the first time?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
No, no, Also, they tell you at the beginning this happened,
so you'll pick it up. Okay, one hundred percent. So
another simple favor on Prime video. It's out now.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Speaking of White Lotus, funnily enough, I'm gonna talk to
you all about a brand new show that came out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So it's four seasons.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's the new eight part comedy series, which is an
adaptation of a nineteen eighty one big screen romantic comedy
of the same name. So it came out on Netflix
yesterday and it is the most perfect cozy. It's raining
and I want to watch something really good and a
movie won't cut it, because I want to rot for
a solid session activity, you know, when you just want
(13:10):
to sit down. The weather has been awful in Sydney
this week. I don't know if it's like that, probably
definitely not else everywhere in Brisbane it's raining. In Perth
it's raining and it's reading no no, But in Sydney
it's been so cold and rainy and it's really like
feels like the start of proper winter. So I, if
I didn't have a kid, would just want to sit
(13:31):
and rush for an entire like half day in front
of the TV.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is perfect because it's clever.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's really warm and cuddly and cozy and funny, but
it's also clever. Oh so you don't feel like you're
just sort of sitting there watching a sitcom or something.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, do you know what I mean? It gives
me the same vibe.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
It's absolutely nothing like it, but the sex lives of
college girls.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh yeah, it's not.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's not like that, but just in terms of clever
but really yeah, but finally enough. It gave me some
similar vibes to White Lotus, except well, someone isn't murdered
at the start, and the whole series isn't centered around that,
and it's a bit more fast paced, but like in
terms of character development, but it just had similar vibes,
(14:16):
like I feel like if you liked that, you're going
to really love this. So it stars Tina Faye and
Steve Corell and it follows six longtime friends who embark
on a peaceful weekend.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
To get away, which they just regularly do.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
They do it four times a year with the seasons,
which comes not so peaceful when one of the couples
reveals that they're on the verge of breaking up, which
we you know, really fucks with a big group when
some people break up. So it's centered around, as I said,
the concept of the four seasons and going away for
a long weekend every season. The show uses the season
as a metaphor for life's different stages, so youth maturity,
(14:52):
decline and then renewal. And I also imagine I couldn't
find anything that said this, but I imagine it's also
talking about the age ol saying, you know, that they
say a friend is here for a reason, a season
or a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, Like, I'd say it has something to do with
that as well.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But that's very clever.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I don't know, I just I really really love it.
It's warm. It's just a really comforting bit clever watch.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Written by co written by Tina fe as well, who
stars in it. Yeah, which anything that's written by anything
that Tina fe writes, like I'm so here exactly that
the woman's exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So that's on Netflix, all right. Tell us about your
favorite movie. Okay, so you were so excited about a
simple favor, I can't possibly understand how you could be
more excited about it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Well, I've had a bit of a run where I
haven't loved a lot of movies lately, so I was
happy this week to do two little cinema troops and
actually walk away both me and you can take your
kids to this one.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Correct, Oh, I thought it was a Marvel feeling.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
It is a Marvel movie in my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I just think every Marvel.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Is a kid's movie, especially this one deals with mental
health and dispression. So I'm a huge, huge Marvel fan,
like every freaking everyone else in the world.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Of course I'm not everyone.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I guess movie franchise in the world, and I love
them for not just the action everything, but the character
development and the world building, which is why I get
so freaking annoy when people are like, oh, I don't
love Marvel movies because I don't want people who just
like scream and shoot at each other. I'm like, who's
watching that, That's not what the movies are about.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Okay, yeah, that doesn't even make sense. I don't like
Marvel movies because I don't care for superheroes.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, that's totally fine, whereas I only care about superhero Yeah,
like Taylor made for me, so there's no screwl that.
It's like the actually great character building. So the initial
early phases of the Marvel Cinematic universe were very much
about building up the heroes who go into Me and
the Avengers, so each of them had their own movies
and their own storylines, and when they came together it
(16:40):
was so amazing. And it was all building up to
Avengers Endgame, where it came to this final big battle
and most a lot of the main characters died or
went different ways and after that, so we had this huge, huge,
build up to this incredible final movie. I've never cried
so hard in a movie, like my body was shaking.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
This is it sad?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
That and Wicked are the only times movie. Yeah. Literally,
when the lights came on and my face was not
it was the color of a tomato, all my miscar
run down my face like onto my boobs.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Okay, that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You need to explain that you have rose shout, that's
why you were the color of a tomato. And and
then your makeup came off, so yes, that's why.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, but also just the emotion so sobbed in that.
And then they started like the next phase of bringing
all new characters and movies, and for me and a
lot of fans, it just felt really flat. The last
couple of movies haven't been super well reviewed. I think
fans are kind of turning away from them. The last
Captain America was okay, like the Marvels I liked, but
a lot of people didn't like it. So this idea
(17:41):
that the biggest movie franchise in the whole world has
been floundery, Like it was even a joke. In Wolverine
and Deadpool, they make a joke about Marvel not being
good anymore. So it's been this wildly.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
They're not Marvel.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well slightly adjacent, Okay, yes, slightly about to.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Say, hey, I really like Deadpool. Yeah that was funny.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Deadpool is very funny. Alright, different kind of studios anyway,
So this week Thunderbolts premiered at the cinemas and there
was a lot writing on this because it was the
first time they were doing that thing again with we're
like bringing a lot of past characters into team up.
So in Thunderbolts, Florence Pugh is it's pretty much the star.
She's reprising her role as Elena, who people saw in
(18:19):
Black Widow for the first time. Sebastian stands back as
Bucky Barnes. He's been in the franchise for a really
long time. Julia Louis Dreyfus is in there. She's amazing
playing Valentina Austrange. Actress Geraldine Schwanahan, who we've hedr on
the Pod many times and she's so funny and I
like this. She was like last in Driveaway Dolls, she
was in that movie Blockers, she was in Miracle Work
(18:40):
as a TV show, Like, she's a comedic actress from
Australia who's most.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Kind of like Australians Katherine Hahn.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, one hundred percent, even though she's in her early twenties.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
So it's like really cool, Yeah, Australia's Katherine Hahn when
she started a career, because now she's main character energy, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, and so it's really cool to see her in
a main role. And then you've got like David Harbor
back as Alexi and all these kind of things. So
you have all these characters from different Marvel TV shows
and movies all come together to team up, and basically
they're like the poor Man's Avengers, if that makes sense,
Like they're the rejects, the ones nobody wants. It starts
with them all being brought together in this situation because
someone's trying to kill them and they end up teaming
(19:16):
up to save the days. They're like, yes, it was that,
and that's the crossover. No one knew that would actually
be a great crossover. So I just felt like it
brought back that old school Marvel energy of like having
all these great characters. Florence Pugh is such a great lead,
Like it did feel like they were floundering, not having
like a central character to tie into, so her opposite
(19:38):
like Sebastian Stan and Wyat Russell and Lewis Pullman and
everything is so incredible.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
She is incredible.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, I think I've only really seen her in Midsummer,
but her performance in that, she she's so talented.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
She's getting I mean, she was incredible in Little Women.
She's just incredible. Even don't worry Darling. She's great.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Oh yes, yes, yes, I loved that.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, she is really great. And you can tell she
loves playing Elena because we got to know home Black
Widow that's when the character was introduced. Then she was
in the TV series Hawkie and that was like a
surprise cameo, and all of that's kind of been building
up to her being in these movies. And it's also
interesting because it's a Marvel movie where like it really
delves into like the evil they face is this character
that's rooted in like depression and mental health and having
(20:20):
to overcome like that inside you. But it also has
these incredible action sequences and it's just really fast paced
and really funny, Like I think people have missed Marvel
movies being really funny, which is kind of the crux
of them. So I just feel like, maybe Marvel's back.
We love an underdog story, that multi billion dollar.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Compay, such an underdog, but I just love how excited
you are.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, I just you know, it's my favorite movie franchise.
They've been dug good lately, have not been great. This
is the first one I've really loved, you know, been
able to say like, yeah, it feels like the gang's
back together. And I would just say to people, there's
two end credit scenes, so stay till the very very end,
because the very end lets you know which other group
of superheroes they're going to kind of like team up
(21:02):
with in the future, because this is the start of
the next phase. So yeah, very good. So Thunderbolts. It's
out in cinemas now. If you've kind of fallen off
the Marvel train, this is the one to jump back
on with if you've missed the last few. You don't worry.
And I guess, like you're asking if kids can see it,
there's not any kind of really terrible gore, so I
guess so then you can have a nice litt chat
afterwards about mental health and depression, what happens when you
(21:23):
hold it even.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
With three year Yeah, yeah, no, this was having a
more so for older kids.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, like a tween, take a tween. So Thunderbolts ad
in cinemas now.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Well, there's some fun things to watch, your fun and
not so fun things to watch. Let us know what's
on your list, but we'll be back in nine miter
hours recommendations and I have never been so prepared. When
you hear the topic, you will understand why.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
The Spill is produced by Amy Kimball with some production
by Scott Stronik. And yes, as Kelly says, we back
in your feed at three pm this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Bye Lan
So much.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and borders
that this podcast is recorded on From Mamma Mia. Welcome
to this spill your daily pop culture fixed. I'm Laura Brodnick, I'm.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Kelly mccaren and I'm here and I'm so excited. I
love filling in on Weekend Watch. Friday is always my
favorite day for any show, pretty much like you Beauty,
It's my favorite show.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's another show that I host shout out to movies.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'm just so excited and it's the one time of
the year pretty much that I watch TV.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yes, I love this. I love that you're prepping through
the week you were on it. You're like, I'm taking
this seriously. Well, we've had to start doing Weekend Watch
is a whole separate episode because the appetite from our
listeners is so intense.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
For people love recommendation, said.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
This so much, and also there's just been so much
good stuff coming out. And I don't know if you
know what this about me. I'm not a short talker,
Like I can't just do oh my god, really, I
have to always you can't just be.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Like, this is coming up tomorrow, this is coming out.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Of all I must monologue, I must give thoughts, feelings,
I must tell people what it was like in the
cinema we watched it. I must go into the history
of the actors. We've got to give the people the information.
So it's spawn into its own thing. But I'm very
excited that you're here today because you've got some good recommendations.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well hopefully.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, yeah, there's actually quite a lot coming out this week.
So we've gone through and kind of pulled out the
best movies and TV shows.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well the most type, if you will, yes, because the
first one that we are going to talk about today
is one that neither ever seen and probably won't see
it to probably on the list for wee can watch. Well,
it's just been so talked about for the past couple
of years. So Rust is finally being released internationally. In
case you didn't know, I didn't to be fair, it
(01:54):
is the name of the Alec Baldwin film where devastatingly
someone passed on set.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, Helena Hutchins passed away on set when Alec Bourbyn
fired a gun at her. That was filled. So the
armor of the film who was the person in charge
of all the guns on set. I didn't do it.
He is in Yeah, she's in prison now, and Alec Baldwin,
after going to court for it, was clear of all charges.
But it's been a huge awful thing and obviously like.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
He's never going to be able to live with that,
Like having to struggle with that for the rest of
his life is just so awful. And her poor family, Like, yeah,
there are so many levels of awfulness and to be
honestly quite surprised that it went ahead.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, because they did go back and reshoot some extra scenes,
like they resumed filming and now they've edited the movie
together and released it. Although I think there's a lot
of tension because the director of the movie, who was
also like in the firing line on the awful day
that all happened and was injured, has sort of said that, like,
you know, he's not a huge fan of Alec Baldwin
at the moment, and I think a lot of people
who worked on the film aren't loving Alec Balwin's reality
(02:54):
TV show with his wife Ilaria, because the first few
episodes centered on him kind of telling his own side
of the story.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, it was almost like he was cashing in and
capitalizing on the horrors of that.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I was really surprised when I heard the movie was
still going to come out, because I understand like their
point of view that, like, we've been working on this
for years, We've shot so much of it. There's a
lot of people who still need to be paid, like
huge amounts of cast and crew working on this scene.
But I'm just like, who wants to watch this movie?
And maybe some people will watch it because of like
a weird kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It's a bit strange.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
If you think I'm desperate to go see that film, Yeah,
I mean I haven't even watched the trailer.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Does it look good?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I mean I haven't only looked at the trailer.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I feel weirded out by the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And it feels like even just the networks are kind
of the same. Because so I read that it is
finally coming out, So it's been released on May second,
so that is today, but it's probably considered US times,
so it would be more like tomorrow morning in AU.
But it's like, no cinema has announced that they'll be
screening it, no platform has come out and said that
(03:56):
they will be hosting it. Someone obviously is going to though, Yeah,
but we just don't know because I guess they don't
want to publicize it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, I haven't seen anything, because like every studio sends
me a list of all the different movies they have
coming out every month. I get like the media release
is with like the cast info and the release date
and the trailers. And I've had nothing about this obviously.
It's not like anyone's gonna hold a premiere or a
screening or anything like that. But I wonder if it's
maybe just a licensing across a few different streamers and
I'll just start popping up in like newly added movies.
(04:24):
But they won't put it in a splash or anything.
I guess, just to put it out there.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Because you know what as well, Like we are in
the industry, so we know the story. Not everyone would
to be fair, yeah, or they would have forgotten or
not put two and two together that that was the film,
yeah exactly, So a lot of people might just be, oh,
there's a great new movie out and they won't have any.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, well, if anyone watches it, like, no judgment if
you watch it, obviously, Like, but you gotta let us
know if you uncover it somewhere and yeah, not one,
I'll be adding to my watch.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
My dad loves westerns, so he probably would and probably
wouldn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, and he probably isn't hasn't remembered it happened years
and years ago, so maybe he'd be one of those
kind of people just turn on, just watch the movie
and be like Alec Bourben's in a movie, which again
a lot of people do, and that's totally fine.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
No, Speaking of other movies, I went to two premiere
this week for two new things that have come out.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm so I'm excited to hear about them. What was
your favorite? Start with that one.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I was going to do them in the order I
watched them, but because I don't know if I can
quite pick a favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But come on, are you not allowed to?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
No? Just internally, like, this is an internal struggle that
I'm having at the moment over which one was my favorite? No,
the second one was my favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It was you can't stop smiling about it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
About Okay, but I'm going to do this one first.
Everyone's like, just say, Kelly, I have a plan. Sorry, okay, Okay,
So the first premiere, I went to this week that
is out now on Prime Video. Is another simple favor.
So have you seen the original? A simple favor sort
of Okay, you need to actually think you would really
love it. I like, I just got to move board,
(05:49):
so I think I was doing something else at the
same time. Okay, no, no, no, just watch it again. Like
I don't say it lightly when I recommend movies to people,
but this is a wildly entertaining movie LDR.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Like Anna Kendrick's character be friends Blake Lively's character. They
become best friends, but then Blake Lively disappears and Anna
Kendrick sleeps with the husband.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, yes, that is a way I could watch it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I watched it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
There's more because the dialog. So both movies are directed
and created by Paul fig who is an incredible director.
We've had him on the Spiel before. I'm such a fan.
So he's like the man responsible for like Bride'smaids and
all those kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You had him on.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, I have photos with him.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Where was I that day? I would have sat on
his lap and said, please, sir, put me in one
of your funny themes.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
So freaking interesting and amazing. He's just got an ie
for dialogue and character and everything. He's just he's amazing.
So he directed A simple Favor, which came out in
twenty eighteen. So yes, it sars Anna Kendrick as she's
a mom borger. She's a single mom, her husband passed
away as a bit of a backstory with how she
got pregnant with her son. The other moms and dads
at school don't like her because she's a bit of
(06:50):
a weird tryhard and then Blake Lively's Emily Nelson comes
onto the scene, and this is Blake Lively's best acting role.
Usually I use the word actress very lightly for her
because I feel like she.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Just plays Serena in everything.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
To be fair, she has always said that she hates
when people think she's acting Gossip Girl because she's like,
that's a caricature. I'm not really acting. It's just like
a you know, it's just an amalgamation of a two
different things, Whereas in this she's great. So she plays
Emily Nelson and she arrives in this small town and
her son is going to the same school as Stephanie
played by Anna Kendrick, and Blake Lively's character Emily Nelson is,
(07:26):
you know, so chic, so impressive, so mysterious. They become
friends just because their kids are friends. And then yes,
when she goes missing, Stephanie starts investigating Emily's appearance, and
this whole wild situation erupts with like family members and
burnt down houses and secret identities and secret twin sisters
(07:47):
and it's a whole situation. But it's such an entertaining movie,
and it looks so incredible, Like the clothing is incredible,
the sets are it's just very entertaining. And so when
everyone heard that another simple favor was coming out, Well,
the biggest thing is that everyone thought that Ada Kendrick
and Blake Lively hated each other, which I guess like
maybe at the time, I was like, oh, is there
a bit of adamosity there? But I actually don't think
(08:08):
they ever did.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I think they probab just aren't best friends and who cares.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yes, But I also think maybe because both of them
sometimes with their co stars. Anna Kendrick spends all her
time with the Pitch Perfect Girls that she's super close
with them, and Blake Lively has been close with a
lot of her different co stars over the years, not
lately messed up who A lot of people kind of
think like, see, she's a mean girl, and I'm like,
I think it's the same thing. Whereas like with leydon Anda,
they're all just like colleagues who get along but maybe
(08:32):
don't hang out in their spare time.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I don't hang out with everyone in my spare time, but.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Blake Lively is still like best friends with like the
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Girls.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
So I don't know, Okay, I have a thought, yes,
that movie for both of them, so Pitch Perfect and
Sisterhood both so young.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I think so too groups of girls, but also multiple movies.
So exactly when it was announced that Another Simple Favor
was coming out, I was like, there's no way these
two women who have so much money, who could book roles,
There's no way they'd come back to this movie if
they hated each other. So I actually think they get
along quite well. And the thing is, their on screen
chemistry together is incredible, Like they just bounce off each
(09:08):
other so well in the first movie, but also in
the second movie, maybe a bit more because their characters
know each one are on the same footing. So the
end of Another Simple Favor which I don't want to
spoil too much.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You haven't watched how old is it? Seven years old?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Fine, just tell us.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Emily Nelson Blake Lively's character goes to prison at the end,
and what for for killing people?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I can't remember? That's okay, Yeah, like this is what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I don't I don't remember. After identity fraud, oh, very
bit of light murder, you know, all those bits and
pieces attempted murder on Anna Kendricks's character know. So then
we pick up many years later in another simple favor,
and Anna Kendrick's character, Stephanie has just written a book
about Emily and she's moved on all that sort of stuff.
(09:51):
And then Emily is released from prison and she comes
and finds her, and everyone thinks she's going to kill her,
but instead she tells her she's getting married in Capri.
That's how she says, Cabri in Italy. And she blackmails
Stephanie into coming to her fancy wedding to be her
maid of honor. And so we've got a lot of the.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Murder someone and then you want them to be your
mate of honor.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I like it, Yeah, and exactly and there's this hole
back and forth, and so all I can sort of
describe it is is this kind of like absolutely wild
Bonker's Keeper. Everyone was like, this is too much, it's
two over the top, and I was like, no, no,
Paul fig knows what he's doing with this. He has
gone all in. Yeah, in spite he was inspired by
this very fancy wedding by a Vogue editor many years
(10:33):
ago in Capri, where he's like, it was so of
the top. So we kind of took that idea and
then meshed it with this murder plot and brought in
like Blake Lively playing multiple characters and it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Where's the husband and the child from the first film?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, they're there. Henry Golding's back. Kenry Golding said because
he filmed Crazy Rich Asians because he wasn't an actor,
he was like a TV presenter, so he got tapped
to being Crazy Rich Asians and then he was cast
in a simple favor. So this is his second movie.
So his caveat for coming back to another simple Favor
was that his character would be kind of a bit
more off the rails, which he is. So basically, you
have all of these people in Capri in this fancy hotel,
(11:09):
Blake Lovely's character is getting married and a murder happened, well,
actually multiple murders happen. Oh no, then they have to
sort of solve it again. Yeah, well who does this time? Well,
I mean there is some good twists in there. So
it's so funny because I went to the premiere and
it's just like all the whole two back rows. I
was sitting with just all mom and mere girls and
everyone was screeching. And there is one plot line that
(11:30):
upset a lot of people and it might make you
think of the White Lotus.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Oh no, no, no, Laura, Yeah no, I'm not watching
it now.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, so you probably don't be talking about tag incest. Yeah,
just still disliked, just slightly. It's the new done thing
in movies now, so I don't I just thought it
was the kind of perfect movie. I don't know if
i'd say everyone like, definitely go buy a ticket to
go to the cinemas. But it's releasing on streaming, it's
releasing on Prime video. I didn't even know what was
at the cinema. I thought it was straight to No,
it's straight to video. It's on Prime video now. So
(12:01):
this is what I'm saying. It is the perfect movie. Yeah,
or like Friday Night on the couch, glass of wine
and you just want to like get completely lost in
a bond her story and watch. Also, their clothes are amazing,
Like it's just the most over the top. Blake Lively
wears a hat in one scene that is bigger than
my car, like, and it's so good just to see
(12:21):
her walllzing through like Italy in this crazy hat in
these and like her wedding outfit. It's just so yeah,
oh my god. Okay, I'm gonna watch it this weekend.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm sorry, just.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Such perfect, perfect escape show.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You think it matters if I don't remember much about
the first time?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
No, no, Also, they tell you at the beginning this happened,
so you'll pick it up. Okay, one hundred percent. So
another simple favor on Prime video. It's out now.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Speaking of White Lotus, funnily enough, I'm gonna talk to
you all about a brand new show that came out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So it's four seasons.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's the new eight part comedy series, which is an
adaptation of a nineteen eighty one big screen romantic comedy
of the same name. So it came out on Netflix
yesterday and it is the most perfect cozy. It's raining
and I want to watch something really good and a
movie won't cut it, because I want to rot for
a solid session activity, you know, when you just want
(13:10):
to sit down. The weather has been awful in Sydney
this week. I don't know if it's like that, probably
definitely not else everywhere in Brisbane it's raining. In Perth
it's raining and it's reading no no, But in Sydney
it's been so cold and rainy and it's really like
feels like the start of proper winter. So I, if
I didn't have a kid, would just want to sit
(13:31):
and rush for an entire like half day in front
of the TV.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is perfect because it's clever.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's really warm and cuddly and cozy and funny, but
it's also clever. Oh so you don't feel like you're
just sort of sitting there watching a sitcom or something.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, do you know what I mean? It gives
me the same vibe.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
It's absolutely nothing like it, but the sex lives of
college girls.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh yeah, it's not.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's not like that, but just in terms of clever
but really yeah, but finally enough. It gave me some
similar vibes to White Lotus, except well, someone isn't murdered
at the start, and the whole series isn't centered around that,
and it's a bit more fast paced, but like in
terms of character development, but it just had similar vibes,
(14:16):
like I feel like if you liked that, you're going
to really love this. So it stars Tina Faye and
Steve Corell and it follows six longtime friends who embark
on a peaceful weekend.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
To get away, which they just regularly do.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
They do it four times a year with the seasons,
which comes not so peaceful when one of the couples
reveals that they're on the verge of breaking up, which
we you know, really fucks with a big group when
some people break up. So it's centered around, as I said,
the concept of the four seasons and going away for
a long weekend every season. The show uses the season
as a metaphor for life's different stages, so youth maturity,
(14:52):
decline and then renewal. And I also imagine I couldn't
find anything that said this, but I imagine it's also
talking about the age ol saying, you know, that they
say a friend is here for a reason, a season
or a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, Like, I'd say it has something to do with
that as well.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But that's very clever.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I don't know, I just I really really love it.
It's warm. It's just a really comforting bit clever watch.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Written by co written by Tina fe as well, who
stars in it. Yeah, which anything that's written by anything
that Tina fe writes, like I'm so here exactly that
the woman's exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So that's on Netflix, all right. Tell us about your
favorite movie. Okay, so you were so excited about a
simple favor, I can't possibly understand how you could be
more excited about it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Well, I've had a bit of a run where I
haven't loved a lot of movies lately, so I was
happy this week to do two little cinema troops and
actually walk away both me and you can take your
kids to this one.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Correct, Oh, I thought it was a Marvel feeling.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
It is a Marvel movie in my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I just think every Marvel.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Is a kid's movie, especially this one deals with mental
health and dispression. So I'm a huge, huge Marvel fan,
like every freaking everyone else in the world.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Of course I'm not everyone.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I guess movie franchise in the world, and I love
them for not just the action everything, but the character
development and the world building, which is why I get
so freaking annoy when people are like, oh, I don't
love Marvel movies because I don't want people who just
like scream and shoot at each other. I'm like, who's
watching that, That's not what the movies are about.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Okay, yeah, that doesn't even make sense. I don't like
Marvel movies because I don't care for superheroes.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, that's totally fine, whereas I only care about superhero Yeah,
like Taylor made for me, so there's no screwl that.
It's like the actually great character building. So the initial
early phases of the Marvel Cinematic universe were very much
about building up the heroes who go into Me and
the Avengers, so each of them had their own movies
and their own storylines, and when they came together it
(16:40):
was so amazing. And it was all building up to
Avengers Endgame, where it came to this final big battle
and most a lot of the main characters died or
went different ways and after that, so we had this huge, huge,
build up to this incredible final movie. I've never cried
so hard in a movie, like my body was shaking.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
This is it sad?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
That and Wicked are the only times movie. Yeah. Literally,
when the lights came on and my face was not
it was the color of a tomato, all my miscar
run down my face like onto my boobs.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Okay, that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You need to explain that you have rose shout, that's
why you were the color of a tomato. And and
then your makeup came off, so yes, that's why.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, but also just the emotion so sobbed in that.
And then they started like the next phase of bringing
all new characters and movies, and for me and a
lot of fans, it just felt really flat. The last
couple of movies haven't been super well reviewed. I think
fans are kind of turning away from them. The last
Captain America was okay, like the Marvels I liked, but
a lot of people didn't like it. So this idea
(17:41):
that the biggest movie franchise in the whole world has
been floundery, Like it was even a joke. In Wolverine
and Deadpool, they make a joke about Marvel not being
good anymore. So it's been this wildly.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
They're not Marvel.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well slightly adjacent, Okay, yes, slightly about to.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Say, hey, I really like Deadpool. Yeah that was funny.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Deadpool is very funny. Alright, different kind of studios anyway,
So this week Thunderbolts premiered at the cinemas and there
was a lot writing on this because it was the
first time they were doing that thing again with we're
like bringing a lot of past characters into team up.
So in Thunderbolts, Florence Pugh is it's pretty much the star.
She's reprising her role as Elena, who people saw in
(18:19):
Black Widow for the first time. Sebastian stands back as
Bucky Barnes. He's been in the franchise for a really
long time. Julia Louis Dreyfus is in there. She's amazing
playing Valentina Austrange. Actress Geraldine Schwanahan, who we've hedr on
the Pod many times and she's so funny and I
like this. She was like last in Driveaway Dolls, she
was in that movie Blockers, she was in Miracle Work
(18:40):
as a TV show, Like, she's a comedic actress from
Australia who's most.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Kind of like Australians Katherine Hahn.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, one hundred percent, even though she's in her early twenties.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
So it's like really cool, Yeah, Australia's Katherine Hahn when
she started a career, because now she's main character energy, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, and so it's really cool to see her in
a main role. And then you've got like David Harbor
back as Alexi and all these kind of things. So
you have all these characters from different Marvel TV shows
and movies all come together to team up, and basically
they're like the poor Man's Avengers, if that makes sense,
Like they're the rejects, the ones nobody wants. It starts
with them all being brought together in this situation because
someone's trying to kill them and they end up teaming
(19:16):
up to save the days. They're like, yes, it was that,
and that's the crossover. No one knew that would actually
be a great crossover. So I just felt like it
brought back that old school Marvel energy of like having
all these great characters. Florence Pugh is such a great lead,
Like it did feel like they were floundering, not having
like a central character to tie into, so her opposite
(19:38):
like Sebastian Stan and Wyat Russell and Lewis Pullman and
everything is so incredible.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
She is incredible.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, I think I've only really seen her in Midsummer,
but her performance in that, she she's so talented.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
She's getting I mean, she was incredible in Little Women.
She's just incredible. Even don't worry Darling. She's great.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Oh yes, yes, yes, I loved that.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, she is really great. And you can tell she
loves playing Elena because we got to know home Black
Widow that's when the character was introduced. Then she was
in the TV series Hawkie and that was like a
surprise cameo, and all of that's kind of been building
up to her being in these movies. And it's also
interesting because it's a Marvel movie where like it really
delves into like the evil they face is this character
that's rooted in like depression and mental health and having
(20:20):
to overcome like that inside you. But it also has
these incredible action sequences and it's just really fast paced
and really funny, Like I think people have missed Marvel
movies being really funny, which is kind of the crux
of them. So I just feel like, maybe Marvel's back.
We love an underdog story, that multi billion dollar.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Compay, such an underdog, but I just love how excited
you are.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, I just you know, it's my favorite movie franchise.
They've been dug good lately, have not been great. This
is the first one I've really loved, you know, been
able to say like, yeah, it feels like the gang's
back together. And I would just say to people, there's
two end credit scenes, so stay till the very very end,
because the very end lets you know which other group
of superheroes they're going to kind of like team up
(21:02):
with in the future, because this is the start of
the next phase. So yeah, very good. So Thunderbolts. It's
out in cinemas now. If you've kind of fallen off
the Marvel train, this is the one to jump back
on with if you've missed the last few. You don't worry.
And I guess, like you're asking if kids can see it,
there's not any kind of really terrible gore, so I
guess so then you can have a nice litt chat
afterwards about mental health and depression, what happens when you
(21:23):
hold it even.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
With three year Yeah, yeah, no, this was having a
more so for older kids.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, like a tween, take a tween. So Thunderbolts ad
in cinemas now.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Well, there's some fun things to watch, your fun and
not so fun things to watch. Let us know what's
on your list, but we'll be back in nine miter
hours recommendations and I have never been so prepared. When
you hear the topic, you will understand why.
