Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast
from newstalk st B.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Twenty seven past ten. You know what that means. It's
screen time time on news talk, said b Tara Ward
has three shows to tell us all about. Hey Tara,
good morning. Let's begin with a new show streaming on
TV and Z Plus starring Julianne Moore, tell us about
Mary and George.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is a new historical drama. And if you think
historical dramas are a bit boring or a bit stuffy,
I think this one will change your mind. This is
a British drama set in the sixteen hundreds and it's
about the Villiers family who are led by the matriarch Mary,
who's played by Julianne Moore. And Mary is this cunning,
calculating woman. She's a desperate social climber and she'll do
(00:52):
whatever it takes for her family to survive. And she
hatches this plan for her second son to become a
romantic interest of the king. And the show is about
how she schemes and plots and pulls all sorts of
strings for her son to gain this position of power
in a world where a lot of other powerful people
are determined to keep her and her family in their place.
It is based on a true story, although I'm not
(01:13):
too sure how historically accurate it is, and I don't
think the show cares too much. It's just having a
lot of fun here. This look stunning. The costumes and
the sets are just so rich and gorgeous. It's just
beautiful to watch. And it's full of this really dark humor.
It's quite irreverent, and just so much energy and attitude here.
I think if you're a fan of the Favorite or
(01:35):
the Great, you know, it feels quite similar to that
those historical shows, but with some real energy and sharp
and funny and lots of dark humor.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Oh good, Okay, that sounds great. Mary and George is
on TV and Z Plus on Prime Video. I am Celendon.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
This is the new highly anticipated documentary about the life
of superstar singer Selendion, and it was filmed not long
after her diagnosis with a very rare condition called stiff
person syndrome, which has meant she hasn't been able to
perform for a few years now and she can't sing
like she used to, and a lot of the documentary
is about her coming to terms with that diagnosis and
(02:12):
the struggle of not being able to perform, and for
someone whose life has her whole life has been performance
in music and singing in front of thousands of people
every night, having to step away from that not on
her own terms is quite devastating for her. So this
is Celindion as we've never seen her before. And often
when you watch a documentary about a famous person or
(02:34):
a musical icon, there's a certain level of ego involved.
You know, they're conscious or protective about what about being
seen in a certain way. But there's no ego here.
This is Celindion, you know, without a scrap of makeup on,
she is raw and emotional. There's some very tough scenes
in this. It really captures the reality of her life
now and it is hard to watch at times, but
(02:56):
there's hope here as well. And it's less of a
look back on her career, which was kind of a
bit more of what I was expecting and more of
a this is where I am now sort of explaining
that to her fans. But you'll need the tissues for this,
without a doubt.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Oh nice, Well, yeah, it sounds really good to see
her in that kind of unvarnished state. So that's I
Am Celene Beyond. That's on Prime Video on Disney plas.
The third season of the ever popular The Bear.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, one of the most intense shows on television is back.
And this is the award winning series about a chef
called Kami who comes home after the death of his
brother and starts running the family restaurant in Chicago. He's
determined to turn this run down but much love Sandwich
bar into a Michelin star restaurant and somehow bring his
staff with him despite their reluctance and lack of formal training.
(03:47):
And season three picks up with the restaurant about to open.
There's quite a different feel to the first episode at least,
but if you haven't seen The Bee yet, I really
really recommend it. It's gritty and intense, and those early
episodes it feels like you're actually in the kitchen. It's
quite stressful. The show keeps winning awards in the comedy category,
but it's definitely not a comedy. This is a drama,
(04:08):
and a drama with a lot of heart as well.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And so the leads. The lead actor Jeremy Allen White
is he's sort of become a bit of a superstar
kind of over night. Really. I know he was, he
had a fair success before, but he's really kind of
gone through to the next strata in terms of success.
You know, he's a very much a Hollywood a lister.
Now I might be putting on the spot here, Tara,
what do you think do you think he's Do you
(04:30):
think he's really handsome?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I do think he's really handsome. Yeah, there's there's something
I think because he's, as you know, he's quite different
and not necessarily trying to fit that mold. Like everything
about the Bear is sort of against that Hollywood TV
show kind of idea. So I think that's maybe the
appeal that he's quite different to that sort of standard
Hollywood manufactured hero.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Because yeah, well, I mean you're not alone. I know
that he's sort of put up as a bit of
a heart throb, but of a pin up these days.
My wife has made it very clear that she thinks
he's rather handsome as well, but of a dish. So
whether or not you find this stressful as one thing,
but there are plenty of reasons to watch the beer.
Thank you so much, exactly, Thank you so much, Sara,
that Is the Beer is on Disney Plus. I Am Selene,
(05:15):
Dianna's on Prime Video. Mary and George is on TV
and ZED Plus, and all of those shows will be
up on the Newstalks d website. It's just after ten thirty.
