The Kansas City Chiefs are aiming for their first Super Bowl three-peat as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles this coming week.
Kick-off is at 12:30pm February 10 (NZT) - and there's plenty of excitement about the game, the commercials and Kendrick Lamar and SZA's half-time performance.
Flicks.co.nz editor Steve Newall says the cameras will also be looking out for Taylor Swift again - as it's likely she'll show up to support Travis Kelce at this year's game.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Sunday Session podcast with Francesca Rudkin
from News Talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Edb a little bit of Kendrick Lamar and says it
to kick off our entertainment segment. I'm joined now by
the editor at Flex Dot Codo and Zied Steve, you'l
good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Good morning. About as much Kendrick Lamar's mainstream broadcast media can.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Think a very appropriate song there for Sunday morning, don't
you think? It's also probably one of the only songs
that we can play of Kendrick Lamars because everything else
has explicitly Which.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Does beg the question of how many bits of blank
dialogue we'll hear at the Super Bowl performance on Monday,
Kendrick playing for ten or fifteen minutes. I don't think
it's going to contain no and scendiary language. Maybe a
few strategic pauses here.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm sure. I'm sure that he will have been well vetted,
considering there's potentially one hundred and twenty million people going
to watch one of the biggest sporting events of the year,
and actually they go wrong at the Super Bowl, well
could go wrong. I mean, some people watch for the football,
but a lot of people actually watch it for this
halftime performance, and if you're in America for the Super
Bowl ads which play as well.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, absolutely, super Bowl ads be a bunch of new
movie trailers. The halftime performance also lots of cameras trying
to figure out what box Taylor Swift is in. Ye,
lots of other things apart from the game. For those
that are actually following the Super Bowl itself, you'll probably
already know. It's the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Philadelphia
Eagles again, again taking place in New Orleans at the
(01:35):
Caesars Super Dime. This is happening Monday afternoon. I was
thinking about a couple of other previous Super Bowl moments
the other day. There's, of course, the infamous Timberlake Jackson
air quote wardrobe malfunction.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Will reveal it's call it what it was.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It actually was an error Mia flipping off the camera
and then being served for fourteen million dollars, which apparently
she got offered a deal by the NFL that they'd
take one hundred percent of her earnings for life if
she earned more than two million dollars, and she was like,
(02:11):
why would I sign that? And Jay Z, who was
working with her management at the times, like you should
sign that I'm not signing all of my money forever away.
But then you know, maybe don't do the finger at
the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, okay, America, they can't handle it, do you now?
Often these performances are filled with your surprise guests and
things like that. Do you think Kendrick Lamar will do
that or will he own this show?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Kendrick's going out on tour with Scissor so that they
are confirmed or very highly suggested to making an appearance.
I don't know how starfilled this performance is likely to be.
He is the main show. He's the most gifted MC
in circulation. At the moment. He's off the back of
(02:56):
five Grammy wins last week, all for Not Like Us,
All for the song that was the apex of his
rap battle with Drake last year and the one that
really destroyed his opponent.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It was very interesting to see still going on. No
we rapped up the Drake Russ Lamar body.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
There's no steplet, I don't think, and if there is,
there's allegedly still still songs in the chamber. So the Grammars,
we saw the whole music industry standing up celebrating and
dancing about Kendrick Lamar's absolute destruction of his opponent. There
was a sight to behold, especially if said opponent is
(03:34):
Canadian and on tour in Australia while looking back at
the US and going good on you.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah. Prime Video is screening a new comedy from Will
Ferrell and Reese with a Spoon. It's called You're Quarterly Invited.
I look, these two stars are absolutely charming and very
very likable. I thought it was a bit hit and
missed with the comedy.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, it's a little bit, but it's one of these.
It's a throwback to the star driven mainstream comedies that
we hardly ever see anymore. Something about the alchemy of
putting two stars together there in becoming more than the
sum of its parts. When they're on screen together, it's
about them and their interactions. The framing is a bit
of an eye roll. It's like a bit of a
(04:17):
flashback comedy. Today, you don't see films where one person's
trying to book a wedding venue and then a strange
thing happens and it turns out they've booked the same
wedding view venue with someone else, maybe a sickcom episode,
but certainly not a whole feature film. Nevertheless, they carried
off because Will Ferrell's a way to involve dad who's
trying to make things perfect for his daughter. Reese Witherspoon's
(04:40):
a big control freaking mess trying to prove that she's
got her act together. They don't either of them, and
I quite enjoyed it. But yes, it's very much cut
from the It's an eighties comedy dressed up in twenty
twenties fashion.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
If you want something a little bit light for the weekend,
then it's a crowd please.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I've I've been recommending it for maybe like a dusty
morning on the weekend where a bit slow getting out
of bed. I will just quickly mention, if you do
want to watch the Super Bowl, it's being broadcast free
to air on TV and Z and also on Sky
TV via ESPN.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Brilliant, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Let's try to catch the halftime show and if you do,
just want to catch the halftime show probably around two pm.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, brilliant, I'm wroting that down and your quarterly invited.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Classic three star comedy enough laughs to justify watching, but
it's not reinventing anything. I just kind of find it
a bit of a charming.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Nicely rapped up.
