You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said Be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
Used Talk, sed Be Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, my beautiful beanies, and welcome to the bean for
the week. It's a weekend edition that's first with yesterday's news.
I am mean Heart and we are looking back at
yesterday and the day before that, Saturday, because that's how
weekens work. Chris fight Umu unfortunately pass away at the
(00:46):
end of last week, founding member of that Freddy's prop.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Of course, we've.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Got a big spin on infrastructure. Well, we've got a
spin on infrastructure. I don't know if it's bags. Comparatively,
Luke Miller has been making Robbie Williams look like a monkey,
and Helena Bonham Carter. He has a big get for
Francesca's show yesterday. But before any of that, the All
Blacks finally moped everything up three nil against France. Questions
(01:18):
over the All Blacks out there off the back of
the series, Really, what.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Do you think the overriding feeling will be today among
the All Blacks coaching staff.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Well, we please have got it done. It's always nice
to whitewash a team and win a series three nil.
But I think they'd been a little bit of a
little bit of frustration that they did get the coordination
cohesion that preps are looking for out of the series.
But they did expose a lot of players to test
rugby in the international environment. But I think they will
(01:47):
be quitely confident too that they've unearthed a few new
potential superstars in their squad going forward.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Yeah, I want to talk about a couple of players
in a moment, But you talk about that cohesion when
that is not achieved, Is that down to you or
is it also down to the way the opposition approach
a game.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I think it's down the opposition. I thought the French
were pretty good. They were really really organized in defense,
and you along on the sideline Ponty, you may comment
a couple of times about just how quick they were
coming up and how aggressive and physical they were at
contact at Rucke and Wall and just the ability to
get an all Blacks face and shut them down. And
(02:25):
he had Fabian Guilty comment, you know, right at the
beginning of the tour about not letting the All Blacks
be good at what they do, and so they did
that really really effectively in the first sixty minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's so frustrating when opposition teams stop you doing what
you're good at, isn't it? And I just feel like, well,
for living memory, really, Bill Blacks have never managed to adapt.
When a team comes out and chats down their original plan.
(02:57):
There never seems to be a plan B, or a
Plan C or a Plan D. I mean it doesn't work. Well,
we'll just run around light Headler's jokes.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
News talk ze been so.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We're going to remember one of the founding members of
Fat Freddy's Drop Now it turns out that Jack Kam
has actually been to a few Fat Freddy's concerts. Who knew.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
If you've been to a Fat Freddie's concert, I've been
to a few over the years, you will know. It
can be hard sometimes to know when a song begins
and ends. I also think there's a real kind of
distinct New Zealand flavor to their music. Yeah, there's something
kind of I don't know, there's something like pacific, something
(03:39):
kind of relaxed, unshaven, unconcerned. The sound of the Kiwi
summer road trip. For the years in which I lived
in the US, I would always crank it up any
time I had an American in my apartment, as if
it were a kind of statement of identity. I think
it probably says a lot about the band's aspirations and
(04:01):
kind of motivations and priorities, honestly, that they're kind of
artistic purity, that despite their credible international success, that individual
members of Fat Fredy's Drop aren't all household names in
this country. I was thinking about it. I reckon I
know next to nothing of their private lives, and of
all the members, I reckon I would have only been
(04:23):
able to name two off the top of my head
if you had asked me earlier this week. You got Dallas,
friend of the show of course, who is the singer
for Fat Freddy's Drop. And you got moo Chris Fayoumu
founded Fat Freddy's Drop. He produced their music and as
the DJ, his beats and blends and samples with a
(04:44):
kind of foundation of so much of their art. And
I just feel that my experience with his work is
going to be similar to that of so many others
in New Zealand and around the world, like tens of thousands,
if not hundreds of thousands of fans. I feel really
saddened by news of his death and just so grateful,
(05:05):
like so so grateful for the music he made that
has honestly enriched my life.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, I'm quiet robbed by this, not the sad passing,
but the fact that Jack's been to a few Fat Readies.
He's been to Fat Ready's more than once. I just
can't I'm sorry, I just can't picture volving away to
those fat beats. Anyway, you's talk said the right. So
(05:35):
we've got more money being spent on infrastructure or as
this was part of the previous it's all a bit confusing.
Can we just get these roads built? Please?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I saw this press release which is embargo to ten
thirty am, and I got quite excited about the big numbers,
and then I saw the word update in it.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So what's actually new in this?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Well, it's one thing, as you know, to announce a project.
We had a government recently that was pretty good announcements.
It's another thing to actually break ground, has people in
jobs with shovels in hives. And so what this announcement
today is about as saying there are six billion dollars
of infrastructure projects that will be breaking ground before Christmas.
(06:20):
That means spades in the ground jobs throughout the country
are stronger economy, and we are getting those projects done
faster and better and that's actually good for the economy
in the long run too. So we've done an exercise
of showing New Zealand where all those projects are around
the country, the money that's been allocated for them. And look,
(06:40):
the advice is for every billion you're spending, that equates
to about four and a half thousand jobs. So this
is literally thousands of jobs in our communities, activity firms,
busy diggers, digging, bulldozers, shoving.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So a pretty good question from Tim at the job there,
so and interesting that Nicholas said the previous government was
good at announcing things. So they've announced this, but now
they're announcing that they're doing this. And also secondly, did
bullgoes as show? Is that what they do as this
(07:16):
sort of do? Now time for some serious monkey business.
I don't know if you saw the Robbie Williams movie
where he was a chimpanzee and everybody else was just
a normal human being. Well they're were human beings. I
(07:37):
don't know how normal they were. Anyway, I thought it
was great and of course you know, we're responsible for
the monkey eysing of Robin Williams.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Visual effects supervisor. Does that mean that you're the guy
sitting behind the computer hitting refresh or rendering the images?
Does it mean that you're the guy in front of
the green screen with the funny little balls and a
weird outfit.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
What is your job?
Speaker 7 (08:04):
I'm well, typically a vision effects supervisor is responsible for
the visual effects component of a movie. I think pretty
much these days every movie will have a visual effects component.
Most of it will be invisible, and it's everything from
sort of designing the shots, how to work with the director,
(08:24):
to delivery of the final work that will then go
into the film.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
And so is it your job to coordinate all the
different things that encompass visual effects.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Yeah, to sort of plan how we're going to tackle
the work, what the best way to do it is, Yeah,
how to make sure things are efficient and then also
presenting that work back to the director.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
So theoretically, if I was making a film about a
meteor blazing toward Earth that was going to destroy the
entire planet, and I came to you and said, right,
what is the best way to do this? What is
the best way to render this image on the big screen.
Would it be your job to say, Well, we could
do it by, say, getting a basketball in front of
a green screen and putting it across to get across
(09:08):
the screen, or we could use this kind of sophisticated
computing in order to make that image from scratch like it.
Would it be your call to decide how best to
make it?
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Yeah, exactly, I'll be talking you out of the basketball
green screen plan for startus.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The you go. That's how movies are made, according to
Luke Miller, from whether they're I mean, I assume because
I think they did a Planet of the Apes or
the Planet of the Apes movies wh did work on them.
So it's only just occurred to me that that was
probably quite handy when it came depending.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Robbi Williams is the worst news talk zip Bean.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Helena Bonham Carter has got a new project out. I'm
just so stunned that Francisca managed to score Earth All
the show that I didn't quite catch what the movie was.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Now, tell me when a beloved Irish author like Nia
Williams adapts one of his own books into a film
and you get the call to be part of it.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
How long does it take for you to say yes?
Speaker 8 (10:06):
Well, there was a sort of I loved the book
like twenty five years before that call came, and it
was like one of my all time favorites. My mum
had given it to me and I was like, it
has us It's an enchanting book. And in fact, at
that time I thought, I need to get the rights
and I need to play Isabelle who is the young Asano?
(10:30):
And then nothing happened. A lot of people have tried
it Stanny Toucu and lots of people that it went
through different lives, and it is basically an impossible book
to to adapt. So then when it came twenty five
years later, Niall actually wrote to me this message. I
was trying to find it last night and I thought,
oh my god, he wants me to play Margaret Gord.
Oh it's meant And because a lot of the book
(10:52):
is about destiny and fate, I thought, oh, the book
has now come to life and now I'm inveigling eggs
in vaguing me into me involved in it. So it
was a sort of fateful thing. And the man I
met Polly, I thought, who's got such a huge amount
of Margaret Gore and her I shear determination. I thought, yeah,
(11:14):
I think I'm meant to be doing this real prison.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's not just an on screen pote. So you feel like, oh,
that's somebody who knows what you're doing talking about.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And I looked at one of the movies called look
for You If it May not to tell you. The
movie is called Four Letters of Love. I am Glen Hart.

I don't know if you saw the Robbie Williams movie

Visual effects supervisor. Does that mean that you're the guy

Does it mean that you're the guy in front of

the work, what the best way to do it is, Yeah,
how to make sure things are efficient and then also
presenting that work back to the director.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
So theoretically, if I was making a film about a
