Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast
from News Talks atb.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's time to get your screen time picks for this weekend.
Three fantastic shows to watch your stream at home. Tara
rewards our screen time expert Get Atara. Good morning, Okay,
let's kick things off with the latest David Attenborough tell
Us About Ocean with David Attenborough on Disney Plus.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, this is a City of Edinburgh's latest nature show
and it's a film rather than a series. It's on
Disney Plus, but it's also screening in cinemas at the moment,
and it's about the importance of the ocean to our planet.
And the film was released on David Attenborough's ninety ninth birthday.
So he's looking back over the last century to consider
what we've learned about the ocean, the discoveries that we've made,

(00:52):
the depth that we have literally reached, all of which
have happened in relatively recent times and certainly in his
own lifetime. And it's such a powerful documentary because it
just pulls you in with this incredible photography. It's so
stunning to watch. The colors are really vibrant, the storytelling
is so good as you would expect with David Edinburgh,
and then it comes to an unavoidable part, which is

(01:14):
that we are ruining the ocean with things like deep
sea trawling and industrial overfishing. We're killing the ocean and
ruining those ecosystems. And it's a pretty brutal, confronting message.
But what's important here is that David Attenborough leaves us
with a message of hope and that if we leave
the ocean alone, if we protect more areas, they will

(01:35):
regenerate and thrive and those ecosystems will rebuild, and how
important that is to the rest of the health of
the planet. So really, really powerful documentary. I really recommend it.
It's so beautiful to watch. And of course, Sir David
Edinburgh in his one hundredth year, such a treasure and
this is just so beautifully done.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Fantastic. Yeah, I can't wait to see that. So that's
on Disney Plus Ocean with David Attenborough. On Netflix, Titan
the ocean Head Disaster.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, this is a new Netflix documentary about twenty twenty
three disaster involving the ocean Gate submersible, which I'm sure
people will remember was traveling down to the bottom of
the Atlantic to see the wreck of the Titanic when
it imploded and killed the five people on board. And
this documentary looks at the events leading up to the emplosion,
how the submersible was made, the warning signs that were

(02:25):
there that things could go wrong, and it particularly looks
at Stockton Rush, who was the wealthy businessman whose dream
was to become world famous by offering tourist trips down
to the Titanic and who built the submersible, and he
does not come out of this well. But it talks
to a lot of employees and whistleblowers who had left
the company or were fired when they raise concerns. There's

(02:48):
a lot of behind the scenes footage as well, which
takes us into the room when they were building that technology.
And so this does answer a lot of questions about
what went on and how this was allowed to happen.
And it's a story that has captured people's attention since
twenty twenty three. This only came to Netflix a couple
of days ago, and it's already you know, sitting in
the number one position in New Zealand, so you know,

(03:10):
if you do want to know more about it, and
understand what happened. This documentary is a great place to start.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Nice. That's Titan the Ocean Head Disaster. It's on Netflix
and also on Netflix Paris Has Fallen.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, this is an action packed TV series. It's actually
a spin off of the Has Fallen series of movies
that starred Gered Butler. He's not in this, but this
is a thriller about a protection officer and an MI
six agent. Her team up after a terrorist attack in
Paris and they have to try and stop another bigger
attack from taking place. And if you want a realistic

(03:44):
political thriller, this isn't it. This is all about the
action and the chases and the stunts. It's quite violent,
but it moves along at a great pace. They are
running through France trying to save the world. I expect
this to get sillier and a bit more far fetched
as it goes along, but you know, it's one of
those shows you can put on, you won't have to
think about it and it will just take you along

(04:05):
for the right How good?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
All right? Thanks so much, Tara. So that is Paris
Has Fallen. That's on Netflix. Titan the Ocean Head Disaster
is also on Netflix and Ocean with David Attenborough is
on Disney Plus. We'll make sure all of those shows
are up on the News Talks. He'd be website as well.
