Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's in the news today, but it was actually on TV.
Reloaded the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Last week that yeaday, guys, welcome back to TV. Reload
the podcast where we dive into the shows and films
that everyone is talking about. And today I'm investigating a
murder mystery with Broose of Art and we're going to
be talking sheep suck as and a truly stacked cast
for a kids film.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What a cast, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
That's something that blew my mind originally, but also really
tight script and a really beautiful film to watch.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It was so beautiful. I thought at one.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Point it was shot in New Zealand, but lass it
was shot in England. But yeah, how spectacular, how spectacular?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Good fe It was so good to the special effects.
And we've come so far from the baby world.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I grew up watching Mister Red with a bit of
peanut butter on the lip. This is miles away from that.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
There's no fishing line to be seen anyone, how old
are you?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It was on reruns.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It was on reruns. I didn't watch the original airing.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I was like, the TV was black and white. Welcome
to television.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
That was me, I said, Okay, so the special effects
are amazing. But there's one fault that I found with this,
and I only noticed it about halfway through the film,
and then I kept looking out for it, and I
think I'm on the money with this, but they kept
forgetting to move the grass when the sheep would walk
on the grass.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Oh look at you, being very anal attentive on this line.
I didn't notice that, but that makes a lot of sense.
That would the other thing that bugged me to which
is a silly thing, and it's in the previews, so
I don't mind giving it up. But when the sheep
is standing on the road, I'm just waiting for a
car that comes in.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
There's none.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Like at one point he stands on the road for
like ten minutes and you're like, oh, come on, you
can't stand on the road that long.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I'm glad that I didn't see that, because that sounds
like some sort of cocaine sheep instead of cocaine Bear.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Wouldn't have been good for the kids, either, would it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What happened to Wooly. He's already a hundred miles down
to London by now.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
He's dead now and he's a cloud. Bros.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And I are unpacking of course today the Sheep detectives
the bizarre new animated mystery. I'm going to say that animated,
because you know how people keep saying to James Cameron
that he has to admit that the Avatar movies are
not roons their cartoons.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The guy that directed it before we get into the
the nuts and bolts, Carl Boulder, who's the director.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Carl Boulder, the director is an animation director. So we
did the Minions and the Groove films and Despicables and
all those kinds of bits and pieces. Yeah, so it
makes sense for this film to have an animation director.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, the animation is phenomenal, like absolutely ridiculous, and he's
got his hands on everything that dates back to like
the original.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Shrek movies, so been around forever.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, he's been around forever.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And the special effects, apart from standing on grass, is faultless,
Like it's crazy, how well these sheep are looking real,
like they're talking and interacting like that's beyond and some.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Great shots just sheep reactions and close ups and angles
of sheep looking at the humans and things really tasty,
like some real subtle but quality animation all the way through.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well let's take a look at this.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
There's one secret to happiness in my life. It's taking care.
Are the kindest creatures on earth, sheep. I want you
to meet my flock. I get a well fed, well
groove and each day read out loud to them the mysteries.
(03:08):
Who've done it?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I know who the killer was.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I like to pretend that they follow along, but they're
only sheep.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Why would he stop there? He was just about to
say who the killer was? This is torture. It was
the made right went out. Wake up, everybody, wake up.
We found Georgia on the grass and he's not moving
till he tell us what to do. Our shepherd was
(03:40):
murdered and we shall solve the crime.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Okay, So I'm going to give you a little bit
of a tease about what this film is about. A
flock of unusually and I'm going to say unusually intelligent
sheep are forced to become amateur detectives after their beloved
shepherd is found dead under mysterious circumstance. And full disclosure,
that's Hugh Jackman, who I thought was going to be.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
In the whole movie. A bit of a surprise there.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
As the animals begin piecing together the clues they uncover, secrets, rivalries,
and suspicious humans hiding in plain sight. It's mixed with
British humor, emotional storytelling, and an absurd animated comedy. The
Sheep Detective turns a classic murder mystery into something delightfully ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, I'll tell you too, just following up from last
week's film XX.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
No what I want to say, we.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Saw something XXX together. I'm telling you that.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Right, true, true, But I had in my row two
young women that were laughing hysterically all the way through
this film, and I had.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
A good chuckle all the way through.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And I don't know the way that cinemas are designed
now with walls between each row so your recliner fits
in and all that that maybe some of the laughter
gets a bit blocked by the physical structure of a
cinema these days. Lonely Island went through it on their
podcast recently, saying that the rake of a cinema, which
is the pitch at which it's angled, can actually affect
the laughter. So we'll have to go somewhere like the
(05:03):
Astor in Melbourne, which is a much less raked and
see if the laughter is more free flowing there amongst
in the room.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I've rewatched The Devil was part of this week, Like
I got to go back and watch the sequel after
we discussed no one laughing, And here I am in
a sold out session and I checked today the stats
on this a cinema that conceit three hundred people did
not hear one laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's part of too.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I want hardly to do with the way the cinemas
are set up. Now I've got the Lonely Island have
piqued my interest on this technology. But yeah, lots of
laughter on my row so and obviously infectious once people
get laughing. But we had a really good time sitting
on a row with loud laughs. That wasn't just me
for a change.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, do you know what I want to say about
this movie that did slightly bother me is that our
detective who turns out to be our main protagonist, who
I hadn't seen in very many things before. I just
feel like this movie would have worked better if it
had Donald Leeson.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
If you're in the paper, which is very good in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
He is a phenomenal actor.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I just love him and everything, and I feel like
the only thing for me, that's letting this film down
is our main protagonist at Detective Well, the police officer in.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Town, Nicholas Braun, who was in succession and he's hosted
Saturn Live.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
He's a very funny guy. I think he does a
great job.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
He's American, does a great job with the accent, Like
I don't think the intel that he's not English necessarily,
but I think the writing of that character is it
feels like maybe it's going to be some vague romantic interest,
but it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Quite get there. Its to It definitely gives us, like
you know.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
The end, It kind of teases it a little bit,
but it doesn't quite tease it in a way where
you feel like, oh, everything's wrapped up nicely.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So well, zero chemistry with him and the person who
he is supposed to have some romance vibes.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
With Hugh Jackman's character's daughter, who is Molly Gordon, who
I know from Bear or the Bear and she's in
a couple of things as well. Yeah, I felt like
she was a weird choice more over than Nicholas Braun
in that she doesn't seem to have chemistry with anyone.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I kind of feel like this movie is lacking some
star appeal to the two characters that kind of needed
it the most.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Forget star appeal, just some chemistry between those two would
have been nice. Shifted the whole dynamic, I think because
you don't feel like she has any chemistry with the sheep,
whereas you feel like Hugh Jackman has incredible chemistry with
animated sheep. Even Nicholas Braun as the cop seems to
have some bumbling chemistry with the sheep, whereas, yeah, Molly
Gordon's character not at all. Rebecca Hampstead, Yeah, it's weird.
(07:23):
I'd say she is the hole in this film.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Do you think so?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I'm feeling like I'm getting on board with this. I
feel like you're right.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And now that I'm thinking about it, how bizarre is
it that the sheep in this movie that are animated
have more chemistry with each other than the human actors
in this film? This is a sad day for AI technology.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
That being said, one of our favorites, Hong Chow, was back.
She was the she ran the hotel in the town.
And I never recognized Hong Chow ever, and so it
was nice to look up.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And go, oh, yeah, that was Hong Chow.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
She's awesome and she was awesome in this a lot
of the human characters, I guess because it is about
the sheep. They don't get a lot of screen time,
and it's really important that they maximize that screen time
that they do get to, you know, impress upon us
who their characters are.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Like.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I don't think the priest gets anywhere near enough screen
time that we really get enough idea of who he is.
It's common to holbrook Smith, who is playing Reverend Hillcoa.
He only pops up a couple of times. We don't
really get any sense of who he is. Same with
the other shepherd. Cosin Cole plays the other shepherd, Caleb Merrow.
He does a good job, but again I don't think
(08:27):
we get a real sense of who he is until
the sheep discover that evidence. That being said, I absolutely
love Conleth Hill as Ham the Butcher.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
He was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
There's definitely some great laughs in this film, and they
have gone and spared no expense when it comes to
the actors that are required to really bring these animated
sheep to life. Like as soon as I heard Julia
Lewis Dreyfus's voice. I knew that straight away. Regina Hall
as Cloud as well, and Bella Ramsey, you know, even
though yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
There was just Bryan Cranston was incredible. Patrick Stewart possibly
of the funniest roles he's ever done because he is
playing kind of the old grumpy Englishman and he is hilarious.
I'm sure he's channeling his dad. It was a bit
of a brick. I thought he was just great, just
taking the piss out of himself.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Basically, if anyone's thinking about going and seeing this film,
it's worth the price of the ticket just for the
character work that's done. With their voice work, it's just
it's beyond a plus for all of that. It's just
unusual that for me, with such a rich story that
really is very similar to that, as I said, Universe
of Babe, there was just missing some heart over all
(09:30):
that Babe had. Like there's not a second in the
first Babe film that is wasted. That entire film is
a masterclass, and this movie there's just a few things
when it comes to the actors that are real people
in this that let it down. Because now that I'm
thinking about it, the guy that's he man, he's also
shit in.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
This a man that's in this very shit shit.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And also like I'm going to say something really controversial,
how is he going to be?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He man, he's so ugly. I know people are going to.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Come for me because I'm sure people out there and
have got web pages for that man being attractive because
Nicholas Galazin, Yeah, him, who's gonna And like, you know,
we got to see another animated movie in the trailer
before we saw this film, which is the New she
Man movie, because.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That looks fucking animated. It looks awful, but it looks awful.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But also I just found in this movie he was
so unappealing the whole time.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
It's like he didn't know the character, didn't know what
its role was. Necessarily all the character's role was one
hundred percent. That being said, I really enjoyed this film.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
This was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Like it's edited very tightly in the effects are good,
so that any of these problems that we're delving into now,
I think you pass over pretty quickly in the film
and you can kind of enjoy the narrative regardless.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Emma Thompson, by the way, is brilliant. She's eleven five stars.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
For her, but she literally could turn up and fart
on TV and I'm five stars like she up next
week on.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
TV Reload Emma Thompson, them will turn up and fart
on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Maybe it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't know, but yeah, I think it all trucks
long at a fair pace and it's and like I said,
it's beautifully shot.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
The film looks extraordinary and the dop were as George
Steele from Memory and he's done.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
A lot of big stuff, like he did the English
Robinhood series, but he did Beggie Blinders like he's done
some stuff that looks really spectacular.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I think this film looks incredible.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Like I said, it almost looks like it was shot
in New Zealand, which you know is always lush and green,
and New Zealand's a great place for this type of film.
And I thought the score was fantastic as well.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I actually picked the composer of the score because it
was so signature, Christoph Beck. There was a scene where
there was like a kind of sweet moment between two
of the sheep and you could hear the cello and
I was like, this is the composer of Buffy and
Angel so waited for the film to finish, and I
was bang on, Like, in actual fact, that sweet moment
(11:43):
that's in this movie sounds very much like the iconic
Buffy thing.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So and he also wrote for Frozen.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I did the score for direct five stars for him.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yes, I thought I had a bit of John Williams
about it. It had a bit of some really good
attitude but was still kind of quirky.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I loved the score.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I thought the score was fantastic. I was listening to
it just as we started this podcast today.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Oh wow, Well, I'm also going to be listening to
that as I go to sleep this evening.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Because I thought it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
This is also based on a book by Leonie Swan
and she wrote the book Three Bags Full in two
thousand and five and it has been re published and
repurposed a few times, but this is the first time
being made into a live action, which I'm surprised it
actually took them twenty years to pick it up.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It seems like that's an obvious one, but I guess
it's a weird co production too. Obviously working title from
the UK, but then it's got American distribution. And funding
as well, and it's all over the place in terms
of that, which is why I've got this eclectic American
English cast. How did you feel about the English and
American cast merging like they weren't all English voice? Sorry,
not all the sheep had English accents? Called what a
weird sentence? I just said some of them had American accents.
(12:43):
Obviously the big American stars in here weren't putting on
English accents.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
How did you feel about that kind of culture? I
thought it was confusing. I didn't enjoy that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
You know, it was a New Zealand sheep too.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
By the restart, Well, there's a few kickbacks.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But I think Kyle Bolden might actually our director might
actually be from News Island. I was trying to look
that up before. But Kyle got his first break working
with Peter Jackson in The Frighteners, which.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Was the Yeah Michael J. Fox film, Michael J.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Fox film. He did the Grim Reaper's animation in that
which a and he.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Worked on the mask in Mars Attacks.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So this guy has a pedigree of amazing films. But
I do believe that Bolder might be from New Zealand.
So whilst you kept saying I feel like this movie
was made there. It sounds like there's some origin story there,
there's some.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Right based on his home country. Yeah, and it does
that felt New Zealand to you yet.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, if he's not from there, he's definitely we know that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You know that he's been there, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Like this is almost a bit of a love letter
to that in saying that I would love to know
where Babe was filmed because I feel like it was
similar New South Wales.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, up on the lush, lush farmland up there. Not
not in Broken Hill obviously.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But overall I thought that the story was tired. You
are correct, because I think you mentioned that before.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I thought the direction some clever, clever plot points as well, well,
you know, using the murder mystery books but not laboring
that like I thought, they use them in a very
subtle way.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Very well.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I think it's important to talk about Craig Mazin, who
is our writer. He's actually actually worked on quite a
few things that I think people would know. He worked
on June Part one, the Last of us Chernobyl, which
obviously picked up a lot of awards.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Whenever heavy stuffware. Yeah, if you scroll further down into
further back in his career. He worked on Scary Movie
screenplays for Scary Movie three and four.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
As well and Hangover Part two. He wrote Hangover Part three.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So he's got comedy and drama in his in his holsters,
so that's pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's like people that have that sort of stuff in
their resume, like a good Scary Movie three or a
Scary Movie number twenty five, that doesn't turn me off.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Comedy like that is very hard to write.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
So yeah, choose up a lot of jokes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Do you know who we haven't talked about enough? I
think is Hugh Jackman. And I will say I was
not looking forward to watching Hugh Jackman in this and
I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know
whether it was him at the metch Gala ball with
his new fiance that sort of made me feel a
little irksome towards him.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
You're allowed to say it. You side with de Belief
and ess, that's fine. We all love Debrale.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You're right, Australia does love her, and I don't necessarily
feel like I'm siding with Deborah, but I just felt
a little irksome by Hugh Jackman. So when he turned up.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
In you're so devastated about anyone's divorce, you're on neither side.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Just get it together, guy.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I write for publications like Woman's Dad and New Ideas,
so I buy into these celebrity divorces way too deep.
I'm too involved. But I will say Hugh Jackman in
this is superb. He does a very good job and
there is a sort of Obi wan Kanobi moment that
he pulls off magnificently in this film as well.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I think he's very charming, you know, back to that
charming huge Jackman we all knew and loved. And yeah,
its accents really cool, really subtle but nice. Yeah, I
think he does a good job.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I thought about this while watching this movie, and I
just want to say, before we move into what our
schools are, I want to ask you.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Who is your favorite sheep?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I feel like everyone that's going to go into this
is going to walk out and have a favorite sheep.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Have a favorite sheep.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It's Ronnie and Reggie voiced Brett Goldstein. Who are the
two rams that just love ramping shit? For Brett Goldstein's
larious he was in drinking recently on Apple TV, but
of course he was on Ted Lasso. Of course is
how we got to know and love Brett Goldstein. And
he's hilarious playing the twin ramses, both voices.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I think it's fair to say that that can be
your favorite sheep because they really are part and past
all of those two.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Do you have a favorite sheep? Is it Cloud? It
is not Cloud.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
You're a bit of a diva. I thought it might be,
you know, well, I.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Thought I did like Cloud, But I just thought Julia
Lewis Dreyfus carried on Lily superb like, so amazing, and
that character had a lot of heavy lifting with the storytelling,
and you had to really buy into her intelligence and
her desire to be a detective and all of that.
And I thought, considering she's never seen on screen, all
the warmth of Julia Lewis Dreyfus and a bit of
humor comes across in that, and five stars, five stars
(16:51):
for you, Julia.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Her performance is quite extraordinary because she's not a big,
loud character. She hasn't got a big point of view
or a big voice or anything. You're right the way
she uses her voice subtly throughout that whole film to
ingratiate herself to the audience but also connect with her
co stars and bring character to a sheep. She is
quite extraordinary, and that's where the animation has been especially good.
Is the nuance in her voice, touching that quality animation
(17:15):
to it is just extraordinary. I think she does an
amazing job.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And also she doesn't do what I think a lot
of actors do that are probably notoriously known for a
particular role. There's Noah Laine Bennets in this voice. This
is her using a softer sound to her character and
her comedic delivery. And that's where I thought was really impressive,
because you do sort of forget that it's Julia Lewistre
(17:38):
for some times, and the character does do everything it
needs to do.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Like I love Julia Luis Drefu's in the Marvel universe,
but it just feels like a Lane is in the
Marvel universe in the best possible way.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
But yeah, no, she is very good. That's a good call.
I still like Brett Goldstein.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I've been mispronouncing her name for the entire life, Like
I think I've mispronounced her name seventy five times. In
this podcast. So Julia, if you're listening, I'm very sorry.
I'm going to say with this film, it's a three
and a half star film. For me, it probably should
have been more. But I did feel like some of
the leads, some of the actual humans in this some
of the actors, didn't it it down just a little bit.
(18:11):
So because to me, Babe is a five star film
which fits into this universe. Do like a crime murder mystery,
so this does do well in that as well. It's
a bit Knives Out meets Babe. But look, three and
a half stars for me. Slightly disappointed in parts, but look,
I would definitely recommend it for families to go and see.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, it's funny the way that you say three and
a half stars, which for me is a very good
score for any film, and then you talk about disappointment.
I'm going to give it three and a half stars
because I love this film. I just traveled along at
a great pace. I enjoyed all the elements. Other than
a couple of small character issues. The sheep were all fantastic,
and then the human cast were fine. I welled up
and cried a little bit at the end when everything
(18:50):
came together and really enjoyed that. I think it does
what it needs to do very effectively, very efficiently, and
you're not going to walk out of it disappointed. You
might think about it and then think of a couple
of things you didn't love, But like we've done today,
I don't think anyone left the cinema last night upset
or disappointed that they'd seen it.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And it was a pretty solid packed cinema for me too.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Maybe fifty people in one of those fifty seventy seat
cinemas in the new designs. But yeah, no, I think
it was a great film through and our stars throw
it on any Sunday afternoon when it's raining.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The kids will be transfixed.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, and I think it's something that the adults will
see on and come and sit down and watch as well.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, exactly, very welcoming.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So next week, what are you thinking, Mother Mary? Are
you thinking, Mother Mary? Because I know you're a big
Anne Hathaway fan.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I am a big Anne Hathaway fan and a big
Beatles fan. That just reminds me of the Beatles lyrics
by the Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be. But yeah, Mother Mary should be fun
interesting as well, not fun in a ITT's all put
on party dress's way, but I think it should be
a very intense interesting film.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well, I just think it sounds like something quite different
for Anne Hathaway. I mean she's singing and the music
is done by Charlie XX. So that's already getting me
pretty excited about this. But this certainly a sort of
evil tone, like a sinister tone to this, So.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, I think it's gonna be weathering heights. Yeah she did.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Actually it was excellent on that, So yeah, I'm excited
about Charlie XX doing more movie work like this where
they can work on score and songs together and in
an intense emotional way. Yeah, I'm getting more excited about
Mother Mary than I was before.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Well, we're going to go and see it on Monday evenings,
so guys, it sounds like we'll be able to drop
our podcast on time next week, so it'll be out
on next Friday. But if you're looking for a film
to go and see with the family, the Sheep Detectives
is definitely for you.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Go and check it out. Distributed by Sony
It's in the news today, but it was actually on TV.
Reloaded the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Last week that yeaday, guys, welcome back to TV. Reload
the podcast where we dive into the shows and films
that everyone is talking about. And today I'm investigating a
murder mystery with Broose of Art and we're going to
be talking sheep suck as and a truly stacked cast
for a kids film.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What a cast, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
That's something that blew my mind originally, but also really
tight script and a really beautiful film to watch.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It was so beautiful. I thought at one.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Point it was shot in New Zealand, but lass it
was shot in England. But yeah, how spectacular, how spectacular?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Good fe It was so good to the special effects.
And we've come so far from the baby world.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I grew up watching Mister Red with a bit of
peanut butter on the lip. This is miles away from that.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
There's no fishing line to be seen anyone, how old
are you?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It was on reruns.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It was on reruns. I didn't watch the original airing.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I was like, the TV was black and white. Welcome
to television.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
That was me, I said, Okay, so the special effects
are amazing. But there's one fault that I found with this,
and I only noticed it about halfway through the film,
and then I kept looking out for it, and I
think I'm on the money with this, but they kept
forgetting to move the grass when the sheep would walk
on the grass.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Oh look at you, being very anal attentive on this line.
I didn't notice that, but that makes a lot of sense.
That would the other thing that bugged me to which
is a silly thing, and it's in the previews, so
I don't mind giving it up. But when the sheep
is standing on the road, I'm just waiting for a
car that comes in.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
There's none.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Like at one point he stands on the road for
like ten minutes and you're like, oh, come on, you
can't stand on the road that long.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I'm glad that I didn't see that, because that sounds
like some sort of cocaine sheep instead of cocaine Bear.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Wouldn't have been good for the kids, either, would it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What happened to Wooly. He's already a hundred miles down
to London by now.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
He's dead now and he's a cloud. Bros.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And I are unpacking of course today the Sheep detectives
the bizarre new animated mystery. I'm going to say that animated,
because you know how people keep saying to James Cameron
that he has to admit that the Avatar movies are
not roons their cartoons.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The guy that directed it before we get into the
the nuts and bolts, Carl Boulder, who's the director.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Carl Boulder, the director is an animation director. So we
did the Minions and the Groove films and Despicables and
all those kinds of bits and pieces. Yeah, so it
makes sense for this film to have an animation director.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, the animation is phenomenal, like absolutely ridiculous, and he's
got his hands on everything that dates back to like
the original.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Shrek movies, so been around forever.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, he's been around forever.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And the special effects, apart from standing on grass, is faultless,
Like it's crazy, how well these sheep are looking real,
like they're talking and interacting like that's beyond and some.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Great shots just sheep reactions and close ups and angles
of sheep looking at the humans and things really tasty,
like some real subtle but quality animation all the way through.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well let's take a look at this.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
There's one secret to happiness in my life. It's taking care.
Are the kindest creatures on earth, sheep. I want you
to meet my flock. I get a well fed, well
groove and each day read out loud to them the mysteries.
(03:08):
Who've done it?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I know who the killer was.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I like to pretend that they follow along, but they're
only sheep.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Why would he stop there? He was just about to
say who the killer was? This is torture. It was
the made right went out. Wake up, everybody, wake up.
We found Georgia on the grass and he's not moving
till he tell us what to do. Our shepherd was
(03:40):
murdered and we shall solve the crime.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Okay, So I'm going to give you a little bit
of a tease about what this film is about. A
flock of unusually and I'm going to say unusually intelligent
sheep are forced to become amateur detectives after their beloved
shepherd is found dead under mysterious circumstance. And full disclosure,
that's Hugh Jackman, who I thought was going to be.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
In the whole movie. A bit of a surprise there.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
As the animals begin piecing together the clues they uncover, secrets, rivalries,
and suspicious humans hiding in plain sight. It's mixed with
British humor, emotional storytelling, and an absurd animated comedy. The
Sheep Detective turns a classic murder mystery into something delightfully ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, I'll tell you too, just following up from last
week's film XX.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
No what I want to say, we.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Saw something XXX together. I'm telling you that.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Right, true, true, But I had in my row two
young women that were laughing hysterically all the way through
this film, and I had.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
A good chuckle all the way through.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And I don't know the way that cinemas are designed
now with walls between each row so your recliner fits
in and all that that maybe some of the laughter
gets a bit blocked by the physical structure of a
cinema these days. Lonely Island went through it on their
podcast recently, saying that the rake of a cinema, which
is the pitch at which it's angled, can actually affect
the laughter. So we'll have to go somewhere like the
(05:03):
Astor in Melbourne, which is a much less raked and
see if the laughter is more free flowing there amongst
in the room.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I've rewatched The Devil was part of this week, Like
I got to go back and watch the sequel after
we discussed no one laughing, And here I am in
a sold out session and I checked today the stats
on this a cinema that conceit three hundred people did
not hear one laugh.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's part of too.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I want hardly to do with the way the cinemas
are set up. Now I've got the Lonely Island have
piqued my interest on this technology. But yeah, lots of
laughter on my row so and obviously infectious once people
get laughing. But we had a really good time sitting
on a row with loud laughs. That wasn't just me
for a change.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, do you know what I want to say about
this movie that did slightly bother me is that our
detective who turns out to be our main protagonist, who
I hadn't seen in very many things before. I just
feel like this movie would have worked better if it
had Donald Leeson.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
If you're in the paper, which is very good in Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
He is a phenomenal actor.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I just love him and everything, and I feel like
the only thing for me, that's letting this film down
is our main protagonist at Detective Well, the police officer in.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Town, Nicholas Braun, who was in succession and he's hosted
Saturn Live.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
He's a very funny guy. I think he does a
great job.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
He's American, does a great job with the accent, Like
I don't think the intel that he's not English necessarily,
but I think the writing of that character is it
feels like maybe it's going to be some vague romantic interest,
but it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Quite get there. Its to It definitely gives us, like
you know.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
The end, It kind of teases it a little bit,
but it doesn't quite tease it in a way where
you feel like, oh, everything's wrapped up nicely.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So well, zero chemistry with him and the person who
he is supposed to have some romance vibes.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
With Hugh Jackman's character's daughter, who is Molly Gordon, who
I know from Bear or the Bear and she's in
a couple of things as well. Yeah, I felt like
she was a weird choice more over than Nicholas Braun
in that she doesn't seem to have chemistry with anyone.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I kind of feel like this movie is lacking some
star appeal to the two characters that kind of needed
it the most.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Forget star appeal, just some chemistry between those two would
have been nice. Shifted the whole dynamic, I think because
you don't feel like she has any chemistry with the sheep,
whereas you feel like Hugh Jackman has incredible chemistry with
animated sheep. Even Nicholas Braun as the cop seems to
have some bumbling chemistry with the sheep, whereas, yeah, Molly
Gordon's character not at all. Rebecca Hampstead, Yeah, it's weird.
(07:23):
I'd say she is the hole in this film.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Do you think so?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I'm feeling like I'm getting on board with this. I
feel like you're right.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And now that I'm thinking about it, how bizarre is
it that the sheep in this movie that are animated
have more chemistry with each other than the human actors
in this film? This is a sad day for AI technology.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
That being said, one of our favorites, Hong Chow, was back.
She was the she ran the hotel in the town.
And I never recognized Hong Chow ever, and so it
was nice to look up.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And go, oh, yeah, that was Hong Chow.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
She's awesome and she was awesome in this a lot
of the human characters, I guess because it is about
the sheep. They don't get a lot of screen time,
and it's really important that they maximize that screen time
that they do get to, you know, impress upon us
who their characters are.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Like.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I don't think the priest gets anywhere near enough screen
time that we really get enough idea of who he is.
It's common to holbrook Smith, who is playing Reverend Hillcoa.
He only pops up a couple of times. We don't
really get any sense of who he is. Same with
the other shepherd. Cosin Cole plays the other shepherd, Caleb Merrow.
He does a good job, but again I don't think
(08:27):
we get a real sense of who he is until
the sheep discover that evidence. That being said, I absolutely
love Conleth Hill as Ham the Butcher.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
He was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
There's definitely some great laughs in this film, and they
have gone and spared no expense when it comes to
the actors that are required to really bring these animated
sheep to life. Like as soon as I heard Julia
Lewis Dreyfus's voice. I knew that straight away. Regina Hall
as Cloud as well, and Bella Ramsey, you know, even
though yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
There was just Bryan Cranston was incredible. Patrick Stewart possibly
of the funniest roles he's ever done because he is
playing kind of the old grumpy Englishman and he is hilarious.
I'm sure he's channeling his dad. It was a bit
of a brick. I thought he was just great, just
taking the piss out of himself.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Basically, if anyone's thinking about going and seeing this film,
it's worth the price of the ticket just for the
character work that's done. With their voice work, it's just
it's beyond a plus for all of that. It's just
unusual that for me, with such a rich story that
really is very similar to that, as I said, Universe
of Babe, there was just missing some heart over all
(09:30):
that Babe had. Like there's not a second in the
first Babe film that is wasted. That entire film is
a masterclass, and this movie there's just a few things
when it comes to the actors that are real people
in this that let it down. Because now that I'm
thinking about it, the guy that's he man, he's also
shit in.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
This a man that's in this very shit shit.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And also like I'm going to say something really controversial,
how is he going to be?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He man, he's so ugly. I know people are going to.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Come for me because I'm sure people out there and
have got web pages for that man being attractive because
Nicholas Galazin, Yeah, him, who's gonna And like, you know,
we got to see another animated movie in the trailer
before we saw this film, which is the New she
Man movie, because.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That looks fucking animated. It looks awful, but it looks awful.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But also I just found in this movie he was
so unappealing the whole time.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
It's like he didn't know the character, didn't know what
its role was. Necessarily all the character's role was one
hundred percent. That being said, I really enjoyed this film.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
This was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Like it's edited very tightly in the effects are good,
so that any of these problems that we're delving into now,
I think you pass over pretty quickly in the film
and you can kind of enjoy the narrative regardless.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Emma Thompson, by the way, is brilliant. She's eleven five stars.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
For her, but she literally could turn up and fart
on TV and I'm five stars like she up next
week on.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
TV Reload Emma Thompson, them will turn up and fart
on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Maybe it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't know, but yeah, I think it all trucks
long at a fair pace and it's and like I said,
it's beautifully shot.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
The film looks extraordinary and the dop were as George
Steele from Memory and he's done.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
A lot of big stuff, like he did the English
Robinhood series, but he did Beggie Blinders like he's done
some stuff that looks really spectacular.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I think this film looks incredible.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Like I said, it almost looks like it was shot
in New Zealand, which you know is always lush and green,
and New Zealand's a great place for this type of film.
And I thought the score was fantastic as well.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I actually picked the composer of the score because it
was so signature, Christoph Beck. There was a scene where
there was like a kind of sweet moment between two
of the sheep and you could hear the cello and
I was like, this is the composer of Buffy and
Angel so waited for the film to finish, and I
was bang on, Like, in actual fact, that sweet moment
(11:43):
that's in this movie sounds very much like the iconic
Buffy thing.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So and he also wrote for Frozen.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I did the score for direct five stars for him.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yes, I thought I had a bit of John Williams
about it. It had a bit of some really good
attitude but was still kind of quirky.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I loved the score.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I thought the score was fantastic. I was listening to
it just as we started this podcast today.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Oh wow, Well, I'm also going to be listening to
that as I go to sleep this evening.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Because I thought it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
This is also based on a book by Leonie Swan
and she wrote the book Three Bags Full in two
thousand and five and it has been re published and
repurposed a few times, but this is the first time
being made into a live action, which I'm surprised it
actually took them twenty years to pick it up.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It seems like that's an obvious one, but I guess
it's a weird co production too. Obviously working title from
the UK, but then it's got American distribution. And funding
as well, and it's all over the place in terms
of that, which is why I've got this eclectic American
English cast. How did you feel about the English and
American cast merging like they weren't all English voice? Sorry,
not all the sheep had English accents? Called what a
weird sentence? I just said some of them had American accents.
(12:43):
Obviously the big American stars in here weren't putting on
English accents.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
How did you feel about that kind of culture? I
thought it was confusing. I didn't enjoy that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
You know, it was a New Zealand sheep too.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
By the restart, Well, there's a few kickbacks.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But I think Kyle Bolden might actually our director might
actually be from News Island. I was trying to look
that up before. But Kyle got his first break working
with Peter Jackson in The Frighteners, which.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Was the Yeah Michael J. Fox film, Michael J.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Fox film. He did the Grim Reaper's animation in that
which a and he.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Worked on the mask in Mars Attacks.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So this guy has a pedigree of amazing films. But
I do believe that Bolder might be from New Zealand.
So whilst you kept saying I feel like this movie
was made there. It sounds like there's some origin story there,
there's some.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Right based on his home country. Yeah, and it does
that felt New Zealand to you yet.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, if he's not from there, he's definitely we know that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You know that he's been there, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Like this is almost a bit of a love letter
to that in saying that I would love to know
where Babe was filmed because I feel like it was
similar New South Wales.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, up on the lush, lush farmland up there. Not
not in Broken Hill obviously.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
But overall I thought that the story was tired. You
are correct, because I think you mentioned that before.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I thought the direction some clever, clever plot points as well, well,
you know, using the murder mystery books but not laboring
that like I thought, they use them in a very
subtle way.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Very well.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I think it's important to talk about Craig Mazin, who
is our writer. He's actually actually worked on quite a
few things that I think people would know. He worked
on June Part one, the Last of us Chernobyl, which
obviously picked up a lot of awards.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Whenever heavy stuffware. Yeah, if you scroll further down into
further back in his career. He worked on Scary Movie
screenplays for Scary Movie three and four.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
As well and Hangover Part two. He wrote Hangover Part three.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So he's got comedy and drama in his in his holsters,
so that's pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It's like people that have that sort of stuff in
their resume, like a good Scary Movie three or a
Scary Movie number twenty five, that doesn't turn me off.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Comedy like that is very hard to write.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
So yeah, choose up a lot of jokes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Do you know who we haven't talked about enough? I
think is Hugh Jackman. And I will say I was
not looking forward to watching Hugh Jackman in this and
I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know
whether it was him at the metch Gala ball with
his new fiance that sort of made me feel a
little irksome towards him.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
You're allowed to say it. You side with de Belief
and ess, that's fine. We all love Debrale.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You're right, Australia does love her, and I don't necessarily
feel like I'm siding with Deborah, but I just felt
a little irksome by Hugh Jackman. So when he turned up.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
In you're so devastated about anyone's divorce, you're on neither side.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Just get it together, guy.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I write for publications like Woman's Dad and New Ideas,
so I buy into these celebrity divorces way too deep.
I'm too involved. But I will say Hugh Jackman in
this is superb. He does a very good job and
there is a sort of Obi wan Kanobi moment that
he pulls off magnificently in this film as well.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I think he's very charming, you know, back to that
charming huge Jackman we all knew and loved. And yeah,
its accents really cool, really subtle but nice. Yeah, I
think he does a good job.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I thought about this while watching this movie, and I
just want to say, before we move into what our
schools are, I want to ask you.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Who is your favorite sheep?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I feel like everyone that's going to go into this
is going to walk out and have a favorite sheep.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Have a favorite sheep.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It's Ronnie and Reggie voiced Brett Goldstein. Who are the
two rams that just love ramping shit? For Brett Goldstein's
larious he was in drinking recently on Apple TV, but
of course he was on Ted Lasso. Of course is
how we got to know and love Brett Goldstein. And
he's hilarious playing the twin ramses, both voices.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I think it's fair to say that that can be
your favorite sheep because they really are part and past
all of those two.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Do you have a favorite sheep? Is it Cloud? It
is not Cloud.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
You're a bit of a diva. I thought it might be,
you know, well, I.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Thought I did like Cloud, But I just thought Julia
Lewis Dreyfus carried on Lily superb like, so amazing, and
that character had a lot of heavy lifting with the storytelling,
and you had to really buy into her intelligence and
her desire to be a detective and all of that.
And I thought, considering she's never seen on screen, all
the warmth of Julia Lewis Dreyfus and a bit of
humor comes across in that, and five stars, five stars
(16:51):
for you, Julia.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Her performance is quite extraordinary because she's not a big,
loud character. She hasn't got a big point of view
or a big voice or anything. You're right the way
she uses her voice subtly throughout that whole film to
ingratiate herself to the audience but also connect with her
co stars and bring character to a sheep. She is
quite extraordinary, and that's where the animation has been especially good.
Is the nuance in her voice, touching that quality animation
(17:15):
to it is just extraordinary. I think she does an
amazing job.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And also she doesn't do what I think a lot
of actors do that are probably notoriously known for a
particular role. There's Noah Laine Bennets in this voice. This
is her using a softer sound to her character and
her comedic delivery. And that's where I thought was really impressive,
because you do sort of forget that it's Julia Lewistre
(17:38):
for some times, and the character does do everything it
needs to do.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Like I love Julia Luis Drefu's in the Marvel universe,
but it just feels like a Lane is in the
Marvel universe in the best possible way.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
But yeah, no, she is very good. That's a good call.
I still like Brett Goldstein.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I've been mispronouncing her name for the entire life, Like
I think I've mispronounced her name seventy five times. In
this podcast. So Julia, if you're listening, I'm very sorry.
I'm going to say with this film, it's a three
and a half star film. For me, it probably should
have been more. But I did feel like some of
the leads, some of the actual humans in this some
of the actors, didn't it it down just a little bit.
(18:11):
So because to me, Babe is a five star film
which fits into this universe. Do like a crime murder mystery,
so this does do well in that as well. It's
a bit Knives Out meets Babe. But look, three and
a half stars for me. Slightly disappointed in parts, but look,
I would definitely recommend it for families to go and see.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, it's funny the way that you say three and
a half stars, which for me is a very good
score for any film, and then you talk about disappointment.
I'm going to give it three and a half stars
because I love this film. I just traveled along at
a great pace. I enjoyed all the elements. Other than
a couple of small character issues. The sheep were all fantastic,
and then the human cast were fine. I welled up
and cried a little bit at the end when everything
(18:50):
came together and really enjoyed that. I think it does
what it needs to do very effectively, very efficiently, and
you're not going to walk out of it disappointed. You
might think about it and then think of a couple
of things you didn't love, But like we've done today,
I don't think anyone left the cinema last night upset
or disappointed that they'd seen it.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
And it was a pretty solid packed cinema for me too.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Maybe fifty people in one of those fifty seventy seat
cinemas in the new designs. But yeah, no, I think
it was a great film through and our stars throw
it on any Sunday afternoon when it's raining.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The kids will be transfixed.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, and I think it's something that the adults will
see on and come and sit down and watch as well.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, exactly, very welcoming.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So next week, what are you thinking, Mother Mary? Are
you thinking, Mother Mary? Because I know you're a big
Anne Hathaway fan.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I am a big Anne Hathaway fan and a big
Beatles fan. That just reminds me of the Beatles lyrics
by the Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be. But yeah, Mother Mary should be fun
interesting as well, not fun in a ITT's all put
on party dress's way, but I think it should be
a very intense interesting film.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well, I just think it sounds like something quite different
for Anne Hathaway. I mean she's singing and the music
is done by Charlie XX. So that's already getting me
pretty excited about this. But this certainly a sort of
evil tone, like a sinister tone to this, So.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, I think it's gonna be weathering heights. Yeah she did.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Actually it was excellent on that, So yeah, I'm excited
about Charlie XX doing more movie work like this where
they can work on score and songs together and in
an intense emotional way. Yeah, I'm getting more excited about
Mother Mary than I was before.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Well, we're going to go and see it on Monday evenings,
so guys, it sounds like we'll be able to drop
our podcast on time next week, so it'll be out
on next Friday. But if you're looking for a film
to go and see with the family, the Sheep Detectives
is definitely for you.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
