Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I'm not tomato.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You know when you watch something and then you need
therapy after it. I need you guys to be my
therapist right now because I watched A Family Affair over
the weekend. Now it's the movie that's landed on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Zac Efron on the weekend too.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, okay, so it's been in the top ten on
Netflix for quite a while, and I was excited to
watch it because it's Nicole Kimmen zac Efron. Kathy Bates
plays the mother in law in it love anything she
is in and it's a rom com, so you know,
how can you go wrong? But this is the part
that I think a lot of people need therapy in,

(00:39):
and it was that both Nicole Kidman and zac Efron's
faces are so distracting throughout the whole film that even
though it's a great storyline, you can't get over Nicole
Kibman's wig, like it needed a supporting actor role.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I didn't like that. I didn't like the color because
it was that, isn't it when you people get the
tips done but they don't get the tona right, so
that it's like the yellow. Yeah, it's yellow, like chicken yellow,
little baby chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yellow. That's the color.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
So why if you're going to get all that trouble
for a wig, why get a crap one?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's that the whole time you were not okay. This
is a therapy session I needed, because the whole time,
I'm like, you're in a cold kid, and you're worth millions,
even if you're funding this. Get a better wig, or
just do your own hair or something. Now, Zach's face
is different because he fell over in his home. He
smashed his face on like a fountain or something, and
so he's had all that recon so you can't really

(01:38):
judge that. But Nicole Kidman's face is so different at
the moment. She's put so much stuff in her cheeks.
She's got that chipmunk thing when she smiles, her lips. Look,
I think she's put too much botox in so her lips.
Did you? Did you think that too a joker?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
When she's okay? I have to be honest. You told
me before, you'd watched it before me and told me
to look out for it. So I didn't know whether
I was being distracted by her or your version of her,
but I could see what you meant. Yes, But then
I'm trying to go, well, it's not that bad, and
then all of a sudden it was, and then it wasn't,

(02:13):
and then well and then I'm coming I'm getting distracted.
So yeah, he.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Didn't distract me as much. No, they've they've they've worked
with it and the premise of the film. If you
haven't seen it, it's very clever script. It's basically it's
about a big movie star who is an action figure
and he has a pa which is Nicole Kidman's daughter,
and then she quits and he goes to the house
to try and tell her to come back and work
for him, and he meets her mom and he falls

(02:40):
in love with her. Mum, an older woman. But then
all the jokes all the way through were like, oh,
you guys, sisters, they don't look anything like sisters. The
girl playing her daughter, they don't even look like that
should be her daughter.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
It looks like Christy Brinkley and Billy Joels. Very different,
very different.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Very very different. They should have cast it with like
Reese Witherspoon and her daughter, because all the jokes were
like that they were similar, and they weren't. But here's
the funniest part for me, So we're watching. I'm watching
the film with Millie because of rom Com, you know,
and zach Efron kind of her generation, and we're not
we're not not liking the script and we're not not
liking the movie. How's this for generational?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Though?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Halfway through the movie, she's like, Mom, who is this actress?
Did she write this movie herself? Just so she got
to kiss sak Efron a lot? And I'm like, who
is that actress? That's Nicole Kidman, the most famous Australian
actress of all and my daughter didn't even know who
she was.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Well, in fairness, well if you didn't even recognize her
in the movie, she probably didn't recognize her. She looked
completely different with the yellowy wig.
