You're cut out for this show, then Any particular
genres of movies.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I like horror movies.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
There might be a bit of a scary film or two in this
list.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I wouldn't say scary, but like Okay, we'll get to
that in a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
You would know the rules.
We won't go through them again,but we will play Icebreaker
Questions.
Chloe, if you could travel backto any period in time, where
would you go?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Probably the 80s.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
The 80s, that's not very far.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know, but it was just like cool.
You know, you had, like EltonJohn was at his peak, you had
good movies coming out.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It was just Shoulder pads yeah, good fashion Wild
colours.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Mullets.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Mullets.
It was great Mullets.
Tiger King has brought themullet back.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I love mullets.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
We'll be sporting a mullet soon.
80s I was there.
It wasn't that good, but themovies were great.
Invisibility or super strength.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Invisibility.
It's because you can just goanywhere and no one would know.
Sounds a bit Boring.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, I don't know, it's just I, and strong for
reasons just if I had to pickbetween the two.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
What does a person need?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
to be happy.
What do they need to be happy?
What do they need in their lifeto be happy?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't know, probably like a goal, something
to like work towards.
If you're not working towardsanything, just do nothing and
you should be bored so it's agoal.
That's a very serious answerwhat did you think I was gonna
say like haircut xbox sky tv.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, you went like a goal in life that is icebreaker
questions out the way.
Thank goodness for that.
Let's move on.
We'll start with your firstchoice for a great film you're
going to be taking to the desertisland go.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Fight Club.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Fight Club epic my favorite movie what is it about
Fight Club that you adore?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
just the fact that you've got to watch it like four
times to really know what'sgoing on.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's just mental yeah , and you sort of get a
different experience, yeah,every time you watch it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You see somewhere else.
It's just a great movie, yeahthe actual bombshell in that is
epic yeah like that is a properbombshell I didn't get it the
first time I watched it.
I got it the second time Iwatched it should probably say
spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's going to be spoilers probably throughout
this podcast.
Who is the best in the movie,though?
Is it brad pitt or is it edwardnorton?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I'd say edward norton .
I think it's just he's betterat acting in that movie.
But I would also argue thathelen bowen carter's character
is better than brad pitt'scharacter as well oh, that's a
bold call.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
She is good in that, though, as well.
Yeah, fun.
People talk about that as abreaking out of period drama
roles into something a bitgritty, and that is gritty Best
scene.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Probably when you find out, like at the end, when
you find out and everything kindof comes together and then at
the end when all the buildingscollapse and you've got the
music.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Pixies.
But equally good is when EdwardNorton beats himself up in his
boss's office.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That is a good scene.
That's a very good scene, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Very good start.
Congratulations film twonapoleon dynamite another great
film, it's just funny.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's awkward, it makes you uncomfortable, but it
makes you laugh so what do youconsider it to be though?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
is it a comedy?
Is it a romantic comedy?
Is it just a high school story?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
no, I think it's just a comedy.
I think it's like a cultclassic.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's amazing ah, it's like up there I think it's a
romantic comedy do you.
Yeah, why?
Because you know, at the startof the film and he wants to play
tetherball and he asks somegirl if she wants to play
tetherball and she just like,brushes him aside, not
interested, yeah.
Then he has the whole thingwith pedro.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
He does his cool dance and then at the end he
asked deb if she wants to playtetherball and she says yes
that's true romantic comedy itcould be considered that yeah,
uh, favorite scenes apart fromthe dance apart from the dance,
I think the scene when, um, hehas the fight with his brother
in the living room is justreally funny, when they're going
(05:01):
to answer the door or somethingand they keep hitting each
other.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
that's funny, that is good.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And when they go to the karate class, that's funny,
oh, and he keeps slapping you.
Yeah, that is funny oh no,that's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, that is very funny.
Do you have bo staff skills?
No, oh, do you see more of youmight have yourself in Napoleon
or his brother Probably.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Napoleon, just awkward.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Awkward, good dancer.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That's a good choice.
I love both of them films, butcan you keep it up?
Can you get the hat trick?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Film free.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Beetlejuice.
Go on, tell me why it's great.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's like a mixture of like really dark humor with
like kids humor, and then you'vegot the amazing scene where
they sing at the dinner tableand all the adults start singing
and dancing and they don'treally know why.
It's just, it's just great.
I didn't like that scene, didyou know?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
that's weird I like that film to the point where
they invoke beetlejuice ohreally yeah, and then I kind of
was like it still good, but itjust lost it a bit.
I loved the bit where they'rekind of trying to find the way
in the afterlife.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, and they're working out how to be dead.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
But yeah, it is a great film.
I think it's one of MichaelKeaton's best performances.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I think it's the only film I've seen him in.
Well, favorite scene oh, thedinner table dancing.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, it's just great we're known a rider in it as
well of course, from strangerthings.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, I think she's done better stuff than stranger
things, though what else has shedone better than stranger
things?
Obviously she was in beatlesyou.
She did edward scissorhandsgreat movie heathers heathers
great movie.
I think she's done better stuffthan stranger things,
especially when she was younger.
Stranger things.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Was her like rebirth?
Yeah, she's back, but she'sonly in stranger things yeah,
she's not back, really yeahthat's true, she's back, but
she's only in Stranger Things.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
She's not back really .
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, that's true.
I don't think Stranger Thingsdeserves the hype it gets.
It's a bit overrated.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That won't go down well.
Beetlejuice is it one youregularly dig out at Halloween,
or do you just watch it?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
all year.
Just watch it whenever, becauseI'm like a big Tim Burton fan.
Okay, top three Tim Burton orBeetlejuice, then Sweeney Todd
and then probably EdwardScissorhands oh my, sweeney Todd
is the worst musical ever made.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's amazing.
It's every line.
It's like they have to singevery single line that's why
it's great it's the worstmusical ever made, in my opinion
.
You adore it right.
Three great movies, two greatmovies and Beetle the entire
saga.
Let's be really warm, burn thelot.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Hate it, and even the actors that were in it hate it.
It's bad.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The actual actors themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Robert Pattinson hates Twilight Like more than
anyone hates Twilight.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, but he's gone on to do some good stuff.
Yeah, I'm not sure KristenStewart's gone on to show the
sort of range that RobertPattinson Robert Pattinson in
the Lighthouse, even though it'sthe weirdest film I've ever
seen is ridiculously good.
I've never seen that.
And obviously he's the newBatman.
Why, though, this filmfranchise above so many others?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's just bad.
It's the only way I candescribe it.
It is just bad.
And if you watch the last one,the CGI baby is the most
disturbing thing.
It's worse than any horrormovie I've ever watched.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's worse than any horror movie I've ever watched.
It's awful.
Yeah, that is very, very poorand it's a bit cliche and it's a
bit the vampires sparkle.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's just not right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's not the Lost Boys, is it?
But anyway, vampires don'tsparkle, they rip you to shreds.
Yes, now one character who'sjoining you on the island, and
that will be.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Data from the Goonies .
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Data.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Quality.
You're on the island and thatwill be data from the goonies
data quality.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This took me so long to decide and I finally sat on
him before you tell me why, justbe aware that most of his
inventions don't work yeah, buthe can still make stuff and he
already has stuff that he's made, like those lights that he has
very short battery life, yeah,but they'd be great for in the
dark only for about threeseconds.
They still work.
He does have his pincers ofpower.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, his fist, that punches people.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Punches himself in the face.
He's great, he can make stuff.
I like him a lot.
Data Chunks is funnier, though.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, but he's a bit helpless, isn't he?
Like he gets locked in thatfreezer with the ice cream and
then he actually gets out by thebad people.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Data is a good choice .
Terrible inventions.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But he can still invent stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
He can.
Who's the worst inventor?
Data or the dad from Gremlins?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I haven't seen Gremlins in so long.
I don't know what he makes.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What His toothbrush pops out.
It squirts toothpaste on it andthen goes everywhere.
He's got a juicing machine thatexplodes in the entire kitchen.
He buys a mogwai.
That's the most ridiculous petin the world.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well then he would be the worst.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So obviously.
I'm going to take Data insteadof him.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Why is a mogwai the most ridiculous pet in the world
?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Because they turn into gremlins.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yes, but why?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Why do they turn into gremlins?
Don't you get them wet?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Right, you get them wet, right.
Think about the implications.
You cannot get your mogwai wet.
Can it drink?
No, can it get its lips wet?
Why drink exactly?
So that is one dehydrated pet.
You can't put them in light,sunlight kills them.
So that is a dehydrated,darkness dwelling, smelly pet.
Because it can't wash and youcan't feed them after midnight
(10:03):
but when can?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
you feed them, it's like the cut off exactly, I've
had this thought many times.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
He says don't feed them, yeah, when it's like the
cut off.
Exactly, I've had this thoughtmany times.
He says don't feed them aftermidnight.
So on day one, midnight, rightwon't feed them.
It's eight in the morning, yeah, when can you start again?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's still after midnight, can you?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
feed them.
This bothers me a lot.
I have a lot of sleeplessnights wondering how you look
after a mogwai.
I can imagine Fight Club,napoleon, dynamite, beetlejuice
I think everyone would prettymuch universally accept they are
class films.
Nothing too controversial there.
And you burnt Twilight again.
That's not a controversialchoice in my opinion.
(10:36):
And you took Data with you.
Proper little cool guy and he'sgot his pins in the power.
He's got his slick shoes.
Yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't know what his news day would be on the island
, but but like, if, like hedidn't have those, the bad
people would have like caughtthe goonies yeah, that's in the
goonies.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
You're on a desert island, no, but exactly he's
like really useful like he'sbasically the reason that they
survived.
I mean, yeah, no, no,technically that's all he did,
but if he hadn't have His?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
princess of power saved himself.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
He punched himself in the face with his boxing glove.
His lights only lasted threeseconds and basically just
blinded the rest of the Goonieswhile they were out, what did
the other kids do?
The other kids Chung broughtSloth to the table.
There's your hero.
Mikey had the map and took himon the adventure Mouth.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Didn't do anything, he was just there, yeah, yeah,
mouth was just the comic value.
Andy the girls she did she playthe piano.
Yeah, so she got that.
But the other two are kind ofuseless yeah, okay, cool.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I don't know why we're talking goonies, and that
will bring us to the end of yourepic adventure in film, and
your time on the desert islandhas only just begun, as you
spend many nights devisingdevices like slit shoes and
punching yourself in the facewith a boxing glove.
Thank you, chloe.
Thank you and goodbye.

questions out the way.
Thank goodness for that.
Let's move on.
We'll start with your firstchoice for a great film you're
going to be taking to the desertisland go.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Fight Club.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Fight Club epic my favorite movie what is it about
Fight Club that you adore?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
just the fact that you've got to watch it like four
times to really know what'sgoing on.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's just mental yeah , and you sort of get a
different experience, yeah,every time you watch it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You see somewhere else.
It's just a great movie, yeahthe actual bombshell in that is
epic yeah like that is a properbombshell I didn't get it the
first time I watched it.
I got it the second time Iwatched it should probably say
spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's going to be spoilers probably throughout
this podcast.
Who is the best in the movie,though?
Is it brad pitt or is it edwardnorton?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I'd say edward norton .
I think it's just he's betterat acting in that movie.
But I would also argue thathelen bowen carter's character
is better than brad pitt'scharacter as well oh, that's a
bold call.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
She is good in that, though, as well.
Yeah, fun.
People talk about that as abreaking out of period drama
roles into something a bitgritty, and that is gritty Best
scene.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Probably when you find out, like at the end, when

the end when all the buildingscollapse and you've got the

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Pixies.
But equally good is when EdwardNorton beats himself up in his
boss's office.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That is a good scene.
That's a very good scene, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Very good start.
Congratulations film twonapoleon dynamite another great
film, it's just funny.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's awkward, it makes you uncomfortable, but it
makes you laugh so what do youconsider it to be though?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
is it a comedy?
Is it a romantic comedy?
Is it just a high school story?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
no, I think it's just a comedy.
I think it's like a cultclassic.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's amazing ah, it's like up there I think it's a
romantic comedy do you.
Yeah, why?
Because you know, at the startof the film and he wants to play
tetherball and he asks somegirl if she wants to play
tetherball and she just like,brushes him aside, not
interested, yeah.
Then he has the whole thingwith pedro.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
He does his cool dance and then at the end he
asked deb if she wants to playtetherball and she says yes
that's true romantic comedy itcould be considered that yeah,
uh, favorite scenes apart fromthe dance apart from the dance,
I think the scene when, um, hehas the fight with his brother
in the living room is justreally funny, when they're going
(05:01):
to answer the door or somethingand they keep hitting each
other.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
that's funny, that is good.
Speaker 2 (05:04):

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Napoleon, just awkward.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Awkward, good dancer.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That's a good choice.
I love both of them films, butcan you keep it up?
Can you get the hat trick?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Film free.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Beetlejuice.
Go on, tell me why it's great.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's like a mixture of like really dark humor with
like kids humor, and then you'vegot the amazing scene where
they sing at the dinner tableand all the adults start singing
and dancing and they don'treally know why.
It's just, it's just great.
I didn't like that scene, didyou know?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
that's weird I like that film to the point where
they invoke beetlejuice ohreally yeah, and then I kind of
was like it still good, but itjust lost it a bit.
I loved the bit where they'rekind of trying to find the way
in the afterlife.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, and they're working out how to be dead.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
But yeah, it is a great film.
I think it's one of MichaelKeaton's best performances.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I think it's the only film I've seen him in.
Well, favorite scene oh, thedinner table dancing.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, it's just great we're known a rider in it as
well of course, from strangerthings.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, I think she's done better stuff than stranger
things, though what else has shedone better than stranger
things?
Obviously she was in beatlesyou.
She did edward scissorhandsgreat movie heathers heathers
great movie.
I think she's done better stuffthan stranger things,
especially when she was younger.
Stranger things.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Was her like rebirth?
Yeah, she's back, but she'sonly in stranger things yeah,
she's not back, really yeahthat's true, she's back, but
she's only in Stranger Things.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
She's not back really .
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, that's true.
I don't think Stranger Thingsdeserves the hype it gets.
It's a bit overrated.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That won't go down well.
Beetlejuice is it one youregularly dig out at Halloween,
or do you just watch it?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
all year.
Just watch it whenever, becauseI'm like a big Tim Burton fan.
Okay, top three Tim Burton orBeetlejuice, then Sweeney Todd
and then probably EdwardScissorhands oh my, sweeney Todd
is the worst musical ever made.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's amazing.
It's every line.
It's like they have to singevery single line that's why
it's great it's the worstmusical ever made, in my opinion
.
You adore it right.
Three great movies, two greatmovies and Beetle the entire
saga.
Let's be really warm, burn thelot.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Hate it, and even the actors that were in it hate it.
It's bad.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The actual actors themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Robert Pattinson hates Twilight Like more than
anyone hates Twilight.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, but he's gone on to do some good stuff.
Yeah, I'm not sure KristenStewart's gone on to show the
sort of range that RobertPattinson Robert Pattinson in
the Lighthouse, even though it'sthe weirdest film I've ever
seen is ridiculously good.
I've never seen that.
And obviously he's the newBatman.
Why, though, this filmfranchise above so many others?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's just bad.
It's the only way I candescribe it.
It is just bad.
And if you watch the last one,the CGI baby is the most
disturbing thing.
It's worse than any horrormovie I've ever watched.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's worse than any horror movie I've ever watched.
It's awful.
Yeah, that is very, very poorand it's a bit cliche and it's a
bit the vampires sparkle.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's just not right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's not the Lost Boys, is it?
But anyway, vampires don'tsparkle, they rip you to shreds.
Yes, now one character who'sjoining you on the island, and
that will be.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Data from the Goonies .
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Data.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Quality.
You're on the island and thatwill be data from the goonies
data quality.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This took me so long to decide and I finally sat on
him before you tell me why, justbe aware that most of his
inventions don't work yeah, buthe can still make stuff and he
already has stuff that he's made, like those lights that he has
very short battery life, yeah,but they'd be great for in the
dark only for about threeseconds.
They still work.
He does have his pincers ofpower.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, his fist, that punches people.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Punches himself in the face.
He's great, he can make stuff.
I like him a lot.
Data Chunks is funnier, though.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, but he's a bit helpless, isn't he?
Like he gets locked in thatfreezer with the ice cream and
then he actually gets out by thebad people.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Data is a good choice .
Terrible inventions.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But he can still invent stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
He can.
Who's the worst inventor?
Data or the dad from Gremlins?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I haven't seen Gremlins in so long.
I don't know what he makes.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What His toothbrush pops out.
It squirts toothpaste on it andthen goes everywhere.
He's got a juicing machine thatexplodes in the entire kitchen.
He buys a mogwai.
That's the most ridiculous petin the world.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well then he would be the worst.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So obviously.
I'm going to take Data insteadof him.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Why is a mogwai the most ridiculous pet in the world
?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Because they turn into gremlins.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yes, but why?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Why do they turn into gremlins?
Don't you get them wet?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Right, you get them wet, right.
Think about the implications.
You cannot get your mogwai wet.
Can it drink?
No, can it get its lips wet?
Why drink exactly?
So that is one dehydrated pet.
You can't put them in light,sunlight kills them.
So that is a dehydrated,darkness dwelling, smelly pet.
Because it can't wash and youcan't feed them after midnight
(10:03):
but when can?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
you feed them, it's like the cut off exactly, I've
had this thought many times.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
He says don't feed them, yeah, when it's like the
cut off.
Exactly, I've had this thoughtmany times.
He says don't feed them aftermidnight.
So on day one, midnight, rightwon't feed them.
It's eight in the morning, yeah, when can you start again?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It's still after midnight, can you?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
feed them.
This bothers me a lot.
I have a lot of sleeplessnights wondering how you look
after a mogwai.
I can imagine Fight Club,napoleon, dynamite, beetlejuice
I think everyone would prettymuch universally accept they are
class films.
Nothing too controversial there.
And you burnt Twilight again.
That's not a controversialchoice in my opinion.
(10:36):
And you took Data with you.
Proper little cool guy and he'sgot his pins in the power.
He's got his slick shoes.
Yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't know what his news day would be on the island
, but but like, if, like hedidn't have those, the bad
people would have like caughtthe goonies yeah, that's in the
goonies.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
You're on a desert island, no, but exactly he's
like really useful like he'sbasically the reason that they
survived.
I mean, yeah, no, no,technically that's all he did,
but if he hadn't have His?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
princess of power saved himself.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
He punched himself in the face with his boxing glove.
His lights only lasted threeseconds and basically just
blinded the rest of the Goonieswhile they were out, what did
the other kids do?
The other kids Chung broughtSloth to the table.
There's your hero.
Mikey had the map and took himon the adventure Mouth.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Didn't do anything, he was just there, yeah, yeah,
mouth was just the comic value.
Andy the girls she did she playthe piano.
Yeah, so she got that.
But the other two are kind ofuseless yeah, okay, cool.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I don't know why we're talking goonies, and that
will bring us to the end of yourepic adventure in film, and
your time on the desert islandhas only just begun, as you
spend many nights devisingdevices like slit shoes and
punching yourself in the facewith a boxing glove.
Thank you, chloe.
Thank you and goodbye.
