Speaker 1 (00:11):
So much. You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mama Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and Borders
that this podcast is recorded on Hello, and welcome to
this bill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm m Burnon
and I'm Cassane Lukitch and welcome to our very special
Weekend Watch episode.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
We can we got's. There's so much good stuff right now.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh my god, that's so much happening this week. We
can't get through all of it. But if you're a
new listener here on the Spill, we do also publish
a full weekend Watch particle of all the new shows
and TVs movies that are coming out this week. We'll
put a link to that in our show notes. Because
we have a massive entertainment team here, Am'm Mia, and
(00:58):
they all watch a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I know. Well, it's like we watched absolutely everything we
would not be getting off the taste saw. I mean,
I even since I've started doing Weekend Watch with you guys,
I'm like, I'm like, this is for work. The others
actually perfect.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The other day, I was like being filmed for like
a social video and it looks so bad because behind me,
my computer's just playing DCC valid Valid Valid. A bit
of spoiler is because our Friday show today we're doing
a big, brutally honest review.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm soxcited.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So if you're awake really early this morning and you're
listening to the Zeppa right as it's been launched at
six am, well done, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Don't forget to tune in their three pm because we
have another episode for you. It doesn't stop everything.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I know, it's great, but what we're starting with today
is not necessarily something you can watch this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
But we got news.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
We've put some news that kind of ties into what
our weekend watch listeners light.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yes, because it was recently announced that there's going to
be a new film adaptation of the Jane Austin novel
Sense and Sensibility and starring Eleanor Dashwood. Headliner is Daisy
Edgar Jones. So this news was firstly, very very exciting
for me because I love all Jane Austen's novels. You
(02:16):
don't never read one Pride and Prejudice.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Oh my god, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We're gonna have to sort this.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I know I've seen the movie.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Have you read Emma?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay? Well, I'm really sorry. I know that that is,
like it's sacrilege. I actually do really like reading, and
I feel like I would like it, but I just.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Do feel like she's one of those writers where a
lot of people assume you read because of like school
and stuff. I read a lot of Jane Austen in school,
and I feel like people associate her writing with that,
which is really unfortunate because she's actually such a brilliant writer.
And I think she's just become one of those authors
where if someone's like, watch your favorite book and you're
(02:54):
like Pride and Prejudice or watch your favorite author, Jane Austen,
they're like role eyes of course it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is yeah, like no, she's actually quite good. Well, I
mean she's a prolific and one of the most famous authors.
It's very well known for a reason. She's clearly incredibly talented.
I've just never actually physically read the books. Like have
you read Charles Dickens before for school? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're a lot more well read than I am.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I had to be. I was forced, but in good
news because you have watched Pride and Prejudice, So SAMs
and sensibility is going to be produced by Focus Features,
which is the same production company that does a lot
of Jane Austen adaptation. So they did Pride and Prejudice.
They also did Emma in twenty twenty, so I feel
like those two movies were an absolute hit. So I
feel like we're in safe hands with this production company.
(03:41):
What I found really interesting is that the screenplay is
going to be adapted by author Diana Reid. So have
you read any Diana read books? So she famously wrote
a book called Love and Virtue, and I love her
as an author. I think she's so so brilliant. I
do think her writing style is very different to Jane
(04:01):
Austen's writing style. Yeah, when I this has been going
all over my group chat, because I have a big
group chat of my best friends who all love to read,
and we're a little bit nervous about the tone of
the film because we love Sense and Sensibility, we love
Diana Reid, we love Jane Austen. I'm not sure if
(04:22):
that combo together for adaptation will translate. And I know
so many people are gonna be like, shut up, it
will and I'm like, I know, I know. I just
want to make sure, we don't have our expectations too high.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay, So you're concerned about this as as a Jane
Austen fans, this is something that you were like, yeah,
okay to Jane Austen.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
For me, like in my head, and I could be
getting this completely wrong because people interpret authors so differently.
In my head, Jane Austen is very witty, smart, like
beautiful scenes like very fun like there are some very
very deep elements to her work, but top line, it's
very fun and girly for me. Diana read for me
as an author, I felt her novels are so well written,
(05:03):
but on the darker side of things, okay, And I
think their writing does contrast a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
This is really interesting. I wish I'm gonna you a
little bit. I don't think you're going to get in trouble.
I think that this is going to be an interesting
thing for people who are really big fans of Jane Austen.
For someone like me, who doesn't really have any skin
in the game, I probably won't like even have a
second thought about.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It, which I'm also really happy about because I feel
like we're adapting so many like classic novels like Wuthering
Heias is coming out, and people have so many big
opinions on that, including the cast and like the costumes
that they're wearing. We've seen photos of scenes that people
weren't too happy about, and I do think we put
a lot in a lot of pressure on these big
(05:47):
film adaptations, but that's only because these books were so
so famous for a reason, and especially these kind of
novels that novels that have been written about women for women,
like so many of these novels, especially Jane Austin novels
like Pride and Prejudice. So many women like that has
been their bread and butter and that has been the
thing that has like felt like home for them. And
(06:10):
I just get nervous for those die hard fans because
they will be critiquing every little element of this, including
the cast. And I don't think anyone else in the
cast has been released, but I'm sure they'll start releasing
the people who are working on it soon. But I
feel like it's going to be high critique from the
fans and then everyone else just being like, yeah, that
was a great film.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah. Look. Unfortunately, so production is going to be beginning soon.
We don't have a release date yet, but there will
be more casting announcements shortly.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So I am excited.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We'll keep our eat of the ground feels like.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
A creative challenge. Okay, So I feel like the show
that everyone is going to be talking about this week,
and it's too early on to fully cement that. But
The Bear season four is out right now on Disney
Plus huge.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
People go to restaurants to be taken care of it,
to relax tonight, have to think about anything else for
a minute. La Clark is telling you how much money
we have left when that show zero. This restaurant needs
to cease operations.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's hard and it's brutal, and that's what makes it special.
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'm ready to go sane. I am so excited. I've
only watched a few episodes.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Really, yes, okay, so you're you're not up to date? Ah, no,
you got have you? Have you seen the Christmas episode yet? No?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I've seen all seasons.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's okay, yeah, okay, sorry, so you I thought you
said you haven't even seen there at all. Oh my god,
I got very.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I love the Bear and yes episode it's like anyone
who has anxiety.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Please, I felt so sick watching that episode. Like, honestly,
I was like, I've been uncomfortable and clenching this entire time.
I almost switched it off because it made me so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, they've done it so well.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, but it's the point, right, it's the point.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They've had had some controversy for being categorized as a
comedy in all the award show buzz. Recently. They won
a heap of awards when they first started. Recently they've
been out ranked by Hacks, who have been winning a
lot of the awards. LB loves Hacks. I still haven't
watched it. No one tell her, but I feel like
last season season three ended on huge cliffhangers from like
(08:32):
multiple storylines. We had Sydney played by Ioderberry, deciding whether
she's going to stay at the Bear or go to
a new job. We had the Chicago Tribune review that
was kind of like leading up the whole season and
everything was banking on this one newspaper review on whether
they'll still get funding for their restaurant or they won't.
(08:52):
We had Richie I think he had the best story
arc out of everyone, and then I think we landed
where like he was deciding whether to go to his
ex's wedding or not. Okay, so it ended with the
like the typical screen that said to be continued. So
this season it's like jam packed. I won't say too much,
but it's just like so well done. It's so fast
(09:14):
moving and oh my god, everything feels very anxiety.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You know What's interesting though, because often when we hit
this season four periods, some of these shows do lose
their legs. Do you still think the bear has its legs?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
One hundred percent? I feel like because they're so good
at building up tension, the whole premise of the show
is meant to be like tension building, right, because that's
the whole point of being a chef and having a
new restaurant. And what I love about it is that
they follow that same arc through each of their individual
storylines as well, including like their personal storylines and stuff.
But I feel like this season in particular, it is
(09:50):
still very fast paced and moving, but they do go
into that big, like cinematic experience, so you do get
like some slow cuts and things like that. So I
will say that if you're looking for that like highly
tensioned Christmas episode, that we get I haven't seen the
whole season, so we might get that, But so far
it's been just like a pleasant watch. Okay, I like
(10:10):
its pleasant.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They're not anxiety and juicy, not yet, because I've had
to turn it off a couple of times because it
gave me, like I just I just started feeling a
bit sick, Like it's a really good show, but it
was like not great for my mental health.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
If it was not good for anyone's a mount help.
But that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So the best season.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Season four on Disney Bus.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Okay, So I'm going to come in with one of
my favorite shows. Okay, season three of squid Game.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh my god, time shivel Game.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
She's like, I guessed to be that And guess, sir,
where now that's happened?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Well, it feels like season three, like we just had
season two.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Okay, so this is the thing. So season two finished,
We got that in December last year. Oh, whereas season
one was like twenty to twenty that was like pandemic.
So there was a massive break between season one and two,
and I think getting people back into the show took
a little bit of time. But what is with the
big gag? I don't know like it's like you four,
(11:19):
Like waiting for season three four is killing me.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's so there's been so many shows where you've been
like I even remember Game of Thrones. It was like, yeah,
it's the Stranger Things, but they're just being in there
like Buddy thirties. Now it's just taking way too long.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Like people need they need to like hurry it up,
get their shit together. So season three of Squid Game
it's being released today, but as of recording, we are
under embargo, so I can't actually tell you exactly what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Wait, so you've actually watched it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So I've watched it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Oh my god, inside a gas and you can't even
tell us the gass.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I can't tell you good or bad. What I can
tell you is I've already watched three episodes.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh my god. Okay, so you've watched three episodes. So
the reason why we have an embargo is obviously because
production companies they don't want reviews coming out before people
actually have the chance to choose whether they want to
watch it or not, which is fair. I feel like
it's so fair.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So what I think I'll do is I'm just going
to give you a quick recap of where we left
off a season two.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Now I'm going to preface this by saying I don't
speak Korean and I'm so scared that I'm going to
butcher these names. You got it, And I'm really I
want to apologize in advance to any of our Korean
listeners if I butcher them, I'm so sorry, please forgive me.
So basically, we're following Jihun, who is our main character.
He's player four, five six, he is our protagonists right now.
(12:50):
Season two starts with him training. He's like in this
deep depression, he's not really spending any of this money
that he won from winning season one, from winning the games,
and he's you know, training because he wants to basically
put an end to this this whole yea charra, this
this crazy game that the front man is putting on.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And I know that in season one and season two
we got a taste of not just the intensity of
the actual like squid game and the games that they
are forced to take part in that like essentially kill them,
but the side story of the rich of the riches
who actually funded the games and like watch us spectators
as well.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, and we get. What I loved about season two
is we've got a little bit of an insight into
who the actual soldiers were. That was probably one of
my favorite parts of season two. So we kind of
we had Jihun, who they went back into the games
and he was telling all of the players, we need
to get out of here. Let's all band together, get
(13:52):
out of here. And they had the two camps of
the yes and the no of saying, remember where we
left off at season two is they created an uprising,
and the final shot was basically Jihun and his best
friend Jung Bei, his player three ninety. He ends up dying.
He gets killed by the front man, so sad in
(14:14):
front of g and he is absolutely devastated by it.
And it's basically everyone is being killed and it ends
on a cliffhanger. So we know that we are still
in the games, We're still in the middle of it.
We don't know what's going to happen next. I mean,
I know what's going to happen next.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So the season three kickoff straight after that, Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Season three kicks off right where we left off as
season two.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So there's a lot of storylines that we're going to
be seeing kind of play out. A couple of the
people who are still in the games, the ones that
I think are probably key players, so we know that
the frontman is obviously a key player. In season three.
The other storyline that I really loved was Noel. She
(14:57):
was a North Korean woman who is trying to find
her baby. She's a soldier, She's the one that kills
like she's a sniper, so her storyline will hopefully see
that developed. There's a lot of it going.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I know you so badly want to say.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I've got so much that I want to say, because
I have actually just literally come.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Off watching I'm so jealous.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Season three now, and I really really want to tell you.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So those episodes going live at like six am and
then Margo lifts at five pm. I know if you're
listening to this after five pm, we are so sorry,
but we just can't.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I know, I can't. I can't do it. But I
didn't want to leave it out of Weekend Watch because
it is such a huge show and the last it's
the last season, and what I love about this is
it's one of the biggest like the fact that it's
a foreign language show, and.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
They've won so many Emmys.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
The success that it's had is insane and great performances.
It's I really like the storyline. It's creepy and weird
and a bit of a thriller, but there's still these
like underlying comedic elements they still inject into it, which
I think is quite nice.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I do want to say which I messed up in
the first Sea and when I first watched it, because
I watched it like well and truly before it became
this big cultural hype. So I accidentally watched it on
Netflix but the English dubbed version instead of the Korean
version with the English subtitles.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh no, you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's different titleogue, It's totally different, so different.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So do you know when they so when they translate movies,
what they will often do and shows is they will
translate it from the original language to English and then
if it's other languages, I changed it from English into
those other languages. So if you're listening to something in Japanese, yes,
they'll translate it from Korean to English to English Japanese.
(16:53):
So you're getting two lots of translations. So it can
really ruin the dialogue and make it quite confusing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I did not know that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, that's how they do trans.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
When you're watching it, you're watching the Korean version with
the subtitles. Yes, do not get the English dubbed version.
It's still really good. But there were some things, like
there were actual plot lines where I was talking to
friends about and they were like, he never said that,
you mean.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, apparently there's a lot that goes sort of lost
in translation if you don't speak Korean, particularly with the
way that any of the North Korean people speak because
their accents. There's a lot of these underlying jokes where
you would only get it if you spoke Korean because
they're kind of making fun of the North Korean accent.
(17:37):
So there's all these little sort of undercurrents that we
as English speakers and non Korean speakers don't pick up on.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Oh so clever.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
So it kind of makes me want to be able
to speak Korean so I can actually understand the other layers. Anyway,
Squak Game is out now on Netflix. I'm so excited
final season.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I can't wait to talk to you about that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I know we will. We'll here.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Okay, I need to address something so you guys talked
about this. No, it wasn't you, it was Kelly and LB
talked about the fe movie.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Well, we talked about Tom and Brad peer.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He did hand now to my turn.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, okay, because I'm gonna let you. I'm just gonna
sit back.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I am the F one racer here. So I was
lucky enough to go to the Sydney screening of the
new Brad Pitt movie F one, and I took my
dad because he is. He had the best time. It
was one of the best screenings I've been to us.
So sad that LB couldn't go, but my dad really
(18:38):
enjoyed her.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Take and that's really sweet. I love that was if
you haven't been to a screening before. There's kind of
two versions of it. You can either go into people's
like you go into the production office and they usually
have like a little movie theater in there. It's pretty basic.
They might have like a bottle of water or popcorn.
It's like a it's very you're doing this for work.
There's that type of screen up or there's a screener
(19:00):
that kind of is set up a little bit more
like a prep.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yea, yeah, it's a big event. And it's not just
media people. That's so they do it for the influences.
They don't do it for us media people, but we
get to benefit of the influencers privilege.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So with that type of screening, there's popcorn, there's dream screens,
there's like interactive play media walls.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
We had tacos. It was beautiful, really really well like
pere So the F one movie, I feel like we've
talked about it a few times, which is really funny.
See like straight, straight and narrow.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, listen, let's get this straight. We all lose our
jobs if you can't run off America.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
No pressure.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
No. The only question here is why does Sonny who's
come back to F one. I think it's really wonderful
to Apex have given second chances to the elderly. It's
all right, you're just read on quicker than you.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It stars Brad Pitt, So they've done it very cleverly
where they've actually filmed this movie during the actual F
one races at the Grand Prix take place. So a
producer on the film is Lewis Hamilton, who is a
race car driver. The most attractive one and the best
one on the one that I know he is like
(20:19):
the one. He's probably the most successful one right now.
He was a producer on it. And because they're filming
during the races, what they've done in the movie, they've
just made the only like fiction part of it is
Brad Pitt's team, and they've kind of like pushed his
team into all the other already existing teams in F one.
So all the drivers you see on the grid, all
(20:42):
the like people in the background, they're all actually F
one drivers.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So it's almost like documentary ish.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
It feels very similar to say that if you don't
follow the F one or into racing, you will still
understand everything that's going on, like it explains everything to you.
But basically Brad Pitt is like this F one driver
who had this big crash when he was younger. That's stereotypical,
like he's had to crash, he left F one and
now he's come back because his best friend, Very Sexy
(21:13):
has just bought a F one team. He's a team
owners what they call it, So these big billionaire millionaire
guys can buy F one teams and he wants to
bring Brad Pitt on as a driver. So every Formula
one team has two drivers. Brad Pitt is one of them,
and the other driver is this young guy who they
call rookies. It means that it's my first go on
(21:33):
the grid. Damon Idris plays him also very attractive. We
talked about him on the met gala. He was the
guy who came in the race car with the helmet,
the helmet off and was posing in like his little
race uniform. And we also talked about how unfortunately Simone
Ashley was meant to be in the film and all
of her scenes got cut. She's still listed as one
(21:56):
of the main cast members on the IMDb.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
And she still went to the premiere.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
She went to the premiere. She looked nice, goal beautiful,
she knew what she was doing. And we also talked
about previously on the Spill how off like there's been
a few times where Simone actually has been snubbed from
a lot of things, especially with season two of bridget
In where we saw Simone Ashley act alongside Jonathan Bailey
and it felt like his career just skyropper. He's in everything.
(22:21):
He was just in Wicked and we've barely seen her
anywhere and she's a brilliant actress. She's really well done.
But what I want to talk about F one was
I did really really enjoy the movie. I thought it
was really well done, really smartly done, like the way
they had the drivers and even the actual team principles
of the F one teams like interact into the storyline
(22:42):
were so well executed. But I do feel they missed
a mark on some really important things. That feels like
this movie should have taken place years ago. And what
I mean is the women who are in this movie.
So Brad Pitt has a love interest in the.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Movie failed the Bechdel test.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, fails. Firstly, Simon Ashley is not even in it,
so they cut her out. She's like there for one
scene where she waved at the camera, and that's literally
Pitt has a love interest. The love interest doesn't really
go anywhere in the film, but they made a point
to make his love interest the only woman engineer director
(23:23):
in the hole of F one. Do you hear what
I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What are the actual stats?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, in the movie she's the only one, but there's
got to be more than that. In the movie. She's
the only one. Okay, so they're saying, wow you And
they made a big deal of it like, Wow, it's
so amazing. You're the only woman director engineer in F
one and yet her whole storyline is hooking up with radpit.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah. I hate that.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
They also had this scene which a lot of people missed.
It came right at the beginning of the pit team.
So the team that kind of like takes the wheels
off the car and puts them back on in like
zero point two seconds have to be really really fast.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, I see. The only reason I know anything about
a pit team is because I've watched Cars the movie
about a million times.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yes, And they have a really great great yeah, yeah,
very good mate, a really good like really good at
being in the pit crew. Yeah, the pit crew is amazing.
In this pit crew, for this team, there was one
woman on the pit crew, which is quite rare, like
you rarely see women firstly in F one, let alone
in pit crews. And they have to be like highly
(24:22):
skilled people to be in this. And there's this one
scene that if you don't actually concentrate, you could have
just missed it as like a big like shambles of
the situation. But the car comes into the pit stop,
the wheels go on, the wheels come off, and the car,
like and it takes too long, like someone stuffed up.
Guess who out.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Of all of those men, which one easy wind to
like not make the woman. It's like so easy to
change that.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And that's where the women's storylines end in this movie.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Okay, So the Actually I could have easily seen where
her storyline would have fitted into this film, and I
think it would have saved it. Okay, So we enjoyed
the film.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I love the film. I will watch it again. I
thought it was great. I feel like if they just
took out brad Pitt's love in Trist's storyline, that would
have just made the film perfect. Either add Simone Ashley
back in or remove brad Pitt's love and Trist. And
it's really interesting that Brad Pitt this is this movie.
It's very Tom Cruisy of him. When I listen to
the episodes that you guys talked about, I was like,
(25:24):
this makes sense because this movie feels like Top Gun,
it feels like Mission Impossible, it feels like a pit
went in. And He's like, I'm going to be the
hero of this movie, and I'm also going to be
the guy that everyone loves and the guy that everyone
hates and the guy that everyone wants to see succeed
and the guy that makes it up on top of everything.
And that's literally what he did that whole movie. And
I'm like, we already got a Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
No wonder Tom Cruise was a little bit crappy with me.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He was, and this is why he just copied his movie.
But it's finally out into the miss. I really want
everyone to watch it. Whether you like racing or you
don't like racing, I just want you to watch it
and see if you kind of agree with me or
if I'm taking things a bit too personal.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
No, I feel like I don't think you are.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
If one fan, I really wanted to love it one
hundred percent and I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
It just missed the movie five on ye any Bechtel
testing or.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Damon Adri should have had the love interest.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Give us.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Brad pitkiss a woman. I've seen that enough.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Three D female characters like rather than these just very
much dimensional things. It just feels like we should be
past that now.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
We should be past it anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
One in is now.
Speaker 2 (26:34):

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm soxcited.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So if you're awake really early this morning and you're

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Don't forget to tune in their three pm because we
have another episode for you. It doesn't stop everything.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I know, it's great, but what we're starting with today
is not necessarily something you can watch this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
But we got news.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
We've put some news that kind of ties into what
our weekend watch listeners light.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yes, because it was recently announced that there's going to
be a new film adaptation of the Jane Austin novel
Sense and Sensibility and starring Eleanor Dashwood. Headliner is Daisy
Edgar Jones. So this news was firstly, very very exciting
for me because I love all Jane Austen's novels. You
(02:16):
don't never read one Pride and Prejudice.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Oh my god, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We're gonna have to sort this.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I know I've seen the movie.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Have you read Emma?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay? Well, I'm really sorry. I know that that is,
like it's sacrilege. I actually do really like reading, and
I feel like I would like it, but I just.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Do feel like she's one of those writers where a
lot of people assume you read because of like school
and stuff. I read a lot of Jane Austen in school,
and I feel like people associate her writing with that,
which is really unfortunate because she's actually such a brilliant writer.
And I think she's just become one of those authors
where if someone's like, watch your favorite book and you're
(02:54):
like Pride and Prejudice or watch your favorite author, Jane Austen,
they're like role eyes of course it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is yeah, like no, she's actually quite good. Well, I
mean she's a prolific and one of the most famous authors.
It's very well known for a reason. She's clearly incredibly talented.
I've just never actually physically read the books. Like have
you read Charles Dickens before for school? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're a lot more well read than I am.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I had to be. I was forced, but in good
news because you have watched Pride and Prejudice, So SAMs
and sensibility is going to be produced by Focus Features,
which is the same production company that does a lot
of Jane Austen adaptation. So they did Pride and Prejudice.
They also did Emma in twenty twenty, so I feel
like those two movies were an absolute hit. So I
feel like we're in safe hands with this production company.
(03:41):
What I found really interesting is that the screenplay is
going to be adapted by author Diana Reid. So have
you read any Diana read books? So she famously wrote
a book called Love and Virtue, and I love her
as an author. I think she's so so brilliant. I
do think her writing style is very different to Jane
(04:01):
Austen's writing style. Yeah, when I this has been going
all over my group chat, because I have a big
group chat of my best friends who all love to read,
and we're a little bit nervous about the tone of
the film because we love Sense and Sensibility, we love
Diana Reid, we love Jane Austen. I'm not sure if
(04:22):
that combo together for adaptation will translate. And I know
so many people are gonna be like, shut up, it
will and I'm like, I know, I know. I just
want to make sure, we don't have our expectations too high.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay, So you're concerned about this as as a Jane
Austen fans, this is something that you were like, yeah,
okay to Jane Austen.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
For me, like in my head, and I could be
getting this completely wrong because people interpret authors so differently.
In my head, Jane Austen is very witty, smart, like
beautiful scenes like very fun like there are some very
very deep elements to her work, but top line, it's
very fun and girly for me. Diana read for me
as an author, I felt her novels are so well written,
(05:03):
but on the darker side of things, okay, And I
think their writing does contrast a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
This is really interesting. I wish I'm gonna you a
little bit. I don't think you're going to get in trouble.
I think that this is going to be an interesting
thing for people who are really big fans of Jane Austen.
For someone like me, who doesn't really have any skin
in the game, I probably won't like even have a
second thought about.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It, which I'm also really happy about because I feel
like we're adapting so many like classic novels like Wuthering
Heias is coming out, and people have so many big
opinions on that, including the cast and like the costumes
that they're wearing. We've seen photos of scenes that people
weren't too happy about, and I do think we put
a lot in a lot of pressure on these big
(05:47):
film adaptations, but that's only because these books were so
so famous for a reason, and especially these kind of
novels that novels that have been written about women for women,
like so many of these novels, especially Jane Austin novels
like Pride and Prejudice. So many women like that has
been their bread and butter and that has been the
thing that has like felt like home for them. And
(06:10):
I just get nervous for those die hard fans because
they will be critiquing every little element of this, including
the cast. And I don't think anyone else in the
cast has been released, but I'm sure they'll start releasing
the people who are working on it soon. But I
feel like it's going to be high critique from the
fans and then everyone else just being like, yeah, that
was a great film.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah. Look. Unfortunately, so production is going to be beginning soon.
We don't have a release date yet, but there will
be more casting announcements shortly.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So I am excited.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We'll keep our eat of the ground feels like.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
A creative challenge. Okay, So I feel like the show
that everyone is going to be talking about this week,
and it's too early on to fully cement that. But
The Bear season four is out right now on Disney
Plus huge.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
People go to restaurants to be taken care of it,
to relax tonight, have to think about anything else for
a minute. La Clark is telling you how much money
we have left when that show zero. This restaurant needs
to cease operations.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's hard and it's brutal, and that's what makes it special.
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'm ready to go sane. I am so excited. I've
only watched a few episodes.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Really, yes, okay, so you're you're not up to date? Ah, no,
you got have you? Have you seen the Christmas episode yet? No?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I've seen all seasons.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's okay, yeah, okay, sorry, so you I thought you
said you haven't even seen there at all. Oh my god,
I got very.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I love the Bear and yes episode it's like anyone
who has anxiety.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Please, I felt so sick watching that episode. Like, honestly,
I was like, I've been uncomfortable and clenching this entire time.
I almost switched it off because it made me so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, they've done it so well.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, but it's the point, right, it's the point.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They've had had some controversy for being categorized as a
comedy in all the award show buzz. Recently. They won
a heap of awards when they first started. Recently they've
been out ranked by Hacks, who have been winning a
lot of the awards. LB loves Hacks. I still haven't
watched it. No one tell her, but I feel like
last season season three ended on huge cliffhangers from like
(08:32):
multiple storylines. We had Sydney played by Ioderberry, deciding whether
she's going to stay at the Bear or go to
a new job. We had the Chicago Tribune review that
was kind of like leading up the whole season and
everything was banking on this one newspaper review on whether
they'll still get funding for their restaurant or they won't.
(08:52):
We had Richie I think he had the best story
arc out of everyone, and then I think we landed
where like he was deciding whether to go to his
ex's wedding or not. Okay, so it ended with the
like the typical screen that said to be continued. So
this season it's like jam packed. I won't say too much,
but it's just like so well done. It's so fast
(09:14):
moving and oh my god, everything feels very anxiety.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You know What's interesting though, because often when we hit
this season four periods, some of these shows do lose
their legs. Do you still think the bear has its legs?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
One hundred percent? I feel like because they're so good
at building up tension, the whole premise of the show
is meant to be like tension building, right, because that's
the whole point of being a chef and having a
new restaurant. And what I love about it is that
they follow that same arc through each of their individual
storylines as well, including like their personal storylines and stuff.
But I feel like this season in particular, it is
(09:50):
still very fast paced and moving, but they do go
into that big, like cinematic experience, so you do get
like some slow cuts and things like that. So I
will say that if you're looking for that like highly
tensioned Christmas episode, that we get I haven't seen the
whole season, so we might get that, But so far
it's been just like a pleasant watch. Okay, I like
(10:10):
its pleasant.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They're not anxiety and juicy, not yet, because I've had
to turn it off a couple of times because it
gave me, like I just I just started feeling a
bit sick, Like it's a really good show, but it
was like not great for my mental health.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
If it was not good for anyone's a mount help.
But that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So the best season.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Season four on Disney Bus.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Okay, So I'm going to come in with one of
my favorite shows. Okay, season three of squid Game.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh my god, time shivel Game.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
She's like, I guessed to be that And guess, sir,
where now that's happened?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Well, it feels like season three, like we just had
season two.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Okay, so this is the thing. So season two finished,
We got that in December last year. Oh, whereas season
one was like twenty to twenty that was like pandemic.
So there was a massive break between season one and two,
and I think getting people back into the show took
a little bit of time. But what is with the
big gag? I don't know like it's like you four,
(11:19):
Like waiting for season three four is killing me.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's so there's been so many shows where you've been
like I even remember Game of Thrones. It was like, yeah,
it's the Stranger Things, but they're just being in there
like Buddy thirties. Now it's just taking way too long.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Like people need they need to like hurry it up,
get their shit together. So season three of Squid Game
it's being released today, but as of recording, we are
under embargo, so I can't actually tell you exactly what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Wait, so you've actually watched it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So I've watched it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Oh my god, inside a gas and you can't even
tell us the gass.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I can't tell you good or bad. What I can
tell you is I've already watched three episodes.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh my god. Okay, so you've watched three episodes. So
the reason why we have an embargo is obviously because
production companies they don't want reviews coming out before people
actually have the chance to choose whether they want to
watch it or not, which is fair. I feel like
it's so fair.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So what I think I'll do is I'm just going
to give you a quick recap of where we left
off a season two.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Now I'm going to preface this by saying I don't
speak Korean and I'm so scared that I'm going to
butcher these names. You got it, And I'm really I
want to apologize in advance to any of our Korean
listeners if I butcher them, I'm so sorry, please forgive me.
So basically, we're following Jihun, who is our main character.
He's player four, five six, he is our protagonists right now.
(12:50):
Season two starts with him training. He's like in this
deep depression, he's not really spending any of this money
that he won from winning season one, from winning the games,
and he's you know, training because he wants to basically
put an end to this this whole yea charra, this
this crazy game that the front man is putting on.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And I know that in season one and season two
we got a taste of not just the intensity of
the actual like squid game and the games that they
are forced to take part in that like essentially kill them,
but the side story of the rich of the riches
who actually funded the games and like watch us spectators
as well.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, and we get. What I loved about season two
is we've got a little bit of an insight into
who the actual soldiers were. That was probably one of
my favorite parts of season two. So we kind of
we had Jihun, who they went back into the games
and he was telling all of the players, we need
to get out of here. Let's all band together, get
(13:52):
out of here. And they had the two camps of
the yes and the no of saying, remember where we
left off at season two is they created an uprising,
and the final shot was basically Jihun and his best
friend Jung Bei, his player three ninety. He ends up dying.
He gets killed by the front man, so sad in
(14:14):
front of g and he is absolutely devastated by it.
And it's basically everyone is being killed and it ends
on a cliffhanger. So we know that we are still
in the games, We're still in the middle of it.
We don't know what's going to happen next. I mean,
I know what's going to happen next.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So the season three kickoff straight after that, Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Season three kicks off right where we left off as
season two.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So there's a lot of storylines that we're going to
be seeing kind of play out. A couple of the
people who are still in the games, the ones that
I think are probably key players, so we know that
the frontman is obviously a key player. In season three.
The other storyline that I really loved was Noel. She
(14:57):
was a North Korean woman who is trying to find
her baby. She's a soldier, She's the one that kills
like she's a sniper, so her storyline will hopefully see
that developed. There's a lot of it going.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I know you so badly want to say.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I've got so much that I want to say, because
I have actually just literally come.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Off watching I'm so jealous.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Season three now, and I really really want to tell you.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So those episodes going live at like six am and
then Margo lifts at five pm. I know if you're
listening to this after five pm, we are so sorry,
but we just can't.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I know, I can't. I can't do it. But I
didn't want to leave it out of Weekend Watch because
it is such a huge show and the last it's
the last season, and what I love about this is
it's one of the biggest like the fact that it's
a foreign language show, and.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
They've won so many Emmys.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
The success that it's had is insane and great performances.
It's I really like the storyline. It's creepy and weird
and a bit of a thriller, but there's still these
like underlying comedic elements they still inject into it, which
I think is quite nice.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I do want to say which I messed up in
the first Sea and when I first watched it, because
I watched it like well and truly before it became
this big cultural hype. So I accidentally watched it on
Netflix but the English dubbed version instead of the Korean
version with the English subtitles.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh no, you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's different titleogue, It's totally different, so different.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So do you know when they so when they translate movies,
what they will often do and shows is they will
translate it from the original language to English and then
if it's other languages, I changed it from English into
those other languages. So if you're listening to something in Japanese, yes,
they'll translate it from Korean to English to English Japanese.
(16:53):
So you're getting two lots of translations. So it can
really ruin the dialogue and make it quite confusing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I did not know that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, that's how they do trans.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
When you're watching it, you're watching the Korean version with
the subtitles. Yes, do not get the English dubbed version.
It's still really good. But there were some things, like
there were actual plot lines where I was talking to
friends about and they were like, he never said that,
you mean.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well, apparently there's a lot that goes sort of lost
in translation if you don't speak Korean, particularly with the
way that any of the North Korean people speak because
their accents. There's a lot of these underlying jokes where
you would only get it if you spoke Korean because
they're kind of making fun of the North Korean accent.
(17:37):
So there's all these little sort of undercurrents that we
as English speakers and non Korean speakers don't pick up on.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Oh so clever.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
So it kind of makes me want to be able
to speak Korean so I can actually understand the other layers. Anyway,
Squak Game is out now on Netflix. I'm so excited
final season.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I can't wait to talk to you about that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I know we will. We'll here.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Okay, I need to address something so you guys talked
about this. No, it wasn't you, it was Kelly and LB
talked about the fe movie.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Well, we talked about Tom and Brad peer.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He did hand now to my turn.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, okay, because I'm gonna let you. I'm just gonna
sit back.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I am the F one racer here. So I was
lucky enough to go to the Sydney screening of the
new Brad Pitt movie F one, and I took my
dad because he is. He had the best time. It
was one of the best screenings I've been to us.
So sad that LB couldn't go, but my dad really
(18:38):
enjoyed her.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Take and that's really sweet. I love that was if
you haven't been to a screening before. There's kind of
two versions of it. You can either go into people's
like you go into the production office and they usually
have like a little movie theater in there. It's pretty basic.
They might have like a bottle of water or popcorn.
It's like a it's very you're doing this for work.
There's that type of screen up or there's a screener
(19:00):
that kind of is set up a little bit more
like a prep.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yea, yeah, it's a big event. And it's not just
media people. That's so they do it for the influences.
They don't do it for us media people, but we
get to benefit of the influencers privilege.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So with that type of screening, there's popcorn, there's dream screens,
there's like interactive play media walls.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
We had tacos. It was beautiful, really really well like
pere So the F one movie, I feel like we've
talked about it a few times, which is really funny.
See like straight, straight and narrow.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, listen, let's get this straight. We all lose our
jobs if you can't run off America.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
No pressure.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
No. The only question here is why does Sonny who's
come back to F one. I think it's really wonderful
to Apex have given second chances to the elderly. It's
all right, you're just read on quicker than you.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It stars Brad Pitt, So they've done it very cleverly
where they've actually filmed this movie during the actual F
one races at the Grand Prix take place. So a
producer on the film is Lewis Hamilton, who is a
race car driver. The most attractive one and the best
one on the one that I know he is like
(20:19):
the one. He's probably the most successful one right now.
He was a producer on it. And because they're filming
during the races, what they've done in the movie, they've
just made the only like fiction part of it is
Brad Pitt's team, and they've kind of like pushed his
team into all the other already existing teams in F one.
So all the drivers you see on the grid, all
(20:42):
the like people in the background, they're all actually F
one drivers.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
So it's almost like documentary ish.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
It feels very similar to say that if you don't
follow the F one or into racing, you will still
understand everything that's going on, like it explains everything to you.
But basically Brad Pitt is like this F one driver
who had this big crash when he was younger. That's stereotypical,
like he's had to crash, he left F one and
now he's come back because his best friend, Very Sexy
(21:13):
has just bought a F one team. He's a team
owners what they call it, So these big billionaire millionaire
guys can buy F one teams and he wants to
bring Brad Pitt on as a driver. So every Formula
one team has two drivers. Brad Pitt is one of them,
and the other driver is this young guy who they
call rookies. It means that it's my first go on
(21:33):
the grid. Damon Idris plays him also very attractive. We
talked about him on the met gala. He was the
guy who came in the race car with the helmet,
the helmet off and was posing in like his little
race uniform. And we also talked about how unfortunately Simone
Ashley was meant to be in the film and all
of her scenes got cut. She's still listed as one
(21:56):
of the main cast members on the IMDb.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
And she still went to the premiere.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
She went to the premiere. She looked nice, goal beautiful,
she knew what she was doing. And we also talked
about previously on the Spill how off like there's been
a few times where Simone actually has been snubbed from
a lot of things, especially with season two of bridget
In where we saw Simone Ashley act alongside Jonathan Bailey
and it felt like his career just skyropper. He's in everything.
(22:21):
He was just in Wicked and we've barely seen her
anywhere and she's a brilliant actress. She's really well done.
But what I want to talk about F one was
I did really really enjoy the movie. I thought it
was really well done, really smartly done, like the way
they had the drivers and even the actual team principles
of the F one teams like interact into the storyline
(22:42):
were so well executed. But I do feel they missed
a mark on some really important things. That feels like
this movie should have taken place years ago. And what
I mean is the women who are in this movie.
So Brad Pitt has a love interest in the.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Movie failed the Bechdel test.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, fails. Firstly, Simon Ashley is not even in it,
so they cut her out. She's like there for one
scene where she waved at the camera, and that's literally
Pitt has a love interest. The love interest doesn't really
go anywhere in the film, but they made a point
to make his love interest the only woman engineer director
(23:23):
in the hole of F one. Do you hear what
I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What are the actual stats?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, in the movie she's the only one, but there's
got to be more than that. In the movie. She's
the only one. Okay, so they're saying, wow you And
they made a big deal of it like, Wow, it's
so amazing. You're the only woman director engineer in F
one and yet her whole storyline is hooking up with radpit.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah. I hate that.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
They also had this scene which a lot of people missed.
It came right at the beginning of the pit team.
So the team that kind of like takes the wheels
off the car and puts them back on in like
zero point two seconds have to be really really fast.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, I see. The only reason I know anything about
a pit team is because I've watched Cars the movie
about a million times.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yes, And they have a really great great yeah, yeah,
very good mate, a really good like really good at
being in the pit crew. Yeah, the pit crew is amazing.
In this pit crew, for this team, there was one
woman on the pit crew, which is quite rare, like
you rarely see women firstly in F one, let alone
in pit crews. And they have to be like highly
(24:22):
skilled people to be in this. And there's this one
scene that if you don't actually concentrate, you could have
just missed it as like a big like shambles of
the situation. But the car comes into the pit stop,
the wheels go on, the wheels come off, and the car,
like and it takes too long, like someone stuffed up.
Guess who out.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Of all of those men, which one easy wind to
like not make the woman. It's like so easy to
change that.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And that's where the women's storylines end in this movie.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Okay, So the Actually I could have easily seen where
her storyline would have fitted into this film, and I
think it would have saved it. Okay, So we enjoyed
the film.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I love the film. I will watch it again. I
thought it was great. I feel like if they just
took out brad Pitt's love in Trist's storyline, that would
have just made the film perfect. Either add Simone Ashley
back in or remove brad Pitt's love and Trist. And
it's really interesting that Brad Pitt this is this movie.
It's very Tom Cruisy of him. When I listen to
the episodes that you guys talked about, I was like,
(25:24):
this makes sense because this movie feels like Top Gun,
it feels like Mission Impossible, it feels like a pit
went in. And He's like, I'm going to be the
hero of this movie, and I'm also going to be
the guy that everyone loves and the guy that everyone
hates and the guy that everyone wants to see succeed
and the guy that makes it up on top of everything.
And that's literally what he did that whole movie. And
I'm like, we already got a Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
No wonder Tom Cruise was a little bit crappy with me.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He was, and this is why he just copied his movie.
But it's finally out into the miss. I really want
everyone to watch it. Whether you like racing or you
don't like racing, I just want you to watch it
and see if you kind of agree with me or
if I'm taking things a bit too personal.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
No, I feel like I don't think you are.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
If one fan, I really wanted to love it one
hundred percent and I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
It just missed the movie five on ye any Bechtel
testing or.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Damon Adri should have had the love interest.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Give us.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Brad pitkiss a woman. I've seen that enough.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Three D female characters like rather than these just very
much dimensional things. It just feels like we should be
past that now.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
We should be past it anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
One in is now.
