Thank you day, Peter.

Hell are you here?

Welcome to you ain't seen nothing yet.

The Movie Podcast where our chat to a movie lover about a classic or beloved movie they haven't quite got around to watching until now.

Today's guest comedian Emma Holland, all below.

I want to.

Stay here with you.

The job.

Wait snake shucked?

Hi Hal Then couldn't happening right suh.

Emma Holland is more than a comedian.

She's now a Bone of Fidey children's author a book.

Her debut book, Stories for the Kid next Door, is going gangbusters.

It looks fantastic, illustrated by the extremely talented Chris Cannett.

As soon as I saw that Emma was releasing a kid's book, I thought, yep, this makes absolute sense.

Emma is a comedian who has been making massive waves in the Australian and international comedy scene over the last few years through stand up shows the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and all around Australia in fact, and also the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where she's playing to sell out crowds.

She's absolutely killing it.

If you get your comedy via the TV, you would have seen Emma killing it on the cheap seats.

I thank god you're here and have you been Paying Attention?

I've had the pleasure of doing a number of episodes of Have You Been Paying Attention with Emma, and she's an absolute joy to play with on that show.

She's actually just a really fun, lovely, funny person to hang around with.

She also I just shouldn't bury the lead because the winner of I think of season four of Taskmaster Australia.

She was hilarious on that season and a well deserved winner.

You can catch and she's working on a brand new show which will hit the festival circuit in Australia and I'm sure Edinburgh next year.

She does have a title for us, she told me off air, but she's not ready to announce it yet.

It is the title alone is worth the price of the ticket.

So go check Emma Holland both live.

Get her new book, Story for the Kid next Door, and you can listen to it right here.

Because I'm bloody stoked to be hanging with Emma Holland today.

I have.

My name's Am Holland and my three favorite films are Finding Nemo.

Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, about time.

We're aveling through time together every day of our lives.

All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.

And boiling point.

Way to not burn out, a way to achieve a successful restaurant.

It's confidence.

Had a great team Russia, you can have.

You can have a very mediocre chef surrounded by a great team, and you've got successful restaurant.

Up until two weeks ago, I'd never seen notting Hill.

As ordered.

Thanks, I don't think you'll believe it was just in here?

Who was it?

Someone famous?

No?

No, it would be exciting, though, wouldn't it if if someone famous came into the shop?

Do you know this is?

This is pretty amazing?

Actually, but I once saw Ringo Star?

Where was that?

Chencyton I Street?

At least I think it was really good.

It might have been that and from Fiddler on the Roof.

You know Topy top Pole?

Yes, that's top top Hole.

H Actually Ringo Star doesn't look at all like top Hole.

But he was quite a long way away from me, so actually he could have been neither of them.

Yes, as yes, it's not a classic anecdote, is it not?

A classic.

In that great movie year of nineteen ninety nine, the most famous woman in the world, Anna Scott, played by Julia Roberts, walks into a travel bookstore remember Those, run by Will Thacker, played irresistibly by Hugh Grant.

Despite all the complications that go along with the most famous woman in the world dating a lowly citizen, Anna and Willing bark on an on and off again romance.

Can a regular guy possibly enter the stratosphere of a movie star?

Or will the trappings of fame, ego, media intrusion work current or ex boyfriends get in the way?

Written by a romantic comedy superstar Richard Curtis but directed by Roger Mitchell, ninety ninety nine's notting Hill is whimsical, funny, and has a massive, massive heart.

Hugh Grant is ably supported by a cast a friendly misfeach from his flatmate Spike ries Iphons to his motley crew of mates from Hugh Bonnerville Tim mcinnherney.

Notting Hill has continued to live in cinema lover's hearts, and it's undoubtedly a classic in its genre.

Emma Holland, have you ever dated a travel bookstore owner?

And how did it go?

Did it pan out?

Ah?

No, but they've dated me.

There we go?

Is the concept you're quite a few years younger than me, a couple, a couple, a couple of years on your holland the idea of a travel bookstore is it not just a bookstore, but specifically a travel bookstore dedicated That seem reason me foreign to you.

No, I think it's pretty I mean, I've seen the section in Dimmicks, so I just imagine that a bit bigger.

It's not hard to conceive.

Yeah, I did hear it's a debate about Oh, travel books is what are weird thing?

It's not that weird to consider.

And I do like the fact that it's not a successful bookstore, so you know, it's.

Yeah, it speaks to the truth of it.

And I also imagine that, you know, I can't conceive this because obviously I was only four years old, but I imagine that, like access to easy travel information was not at your fingertips at all times, and so you did need to go under your research.

I was traveling but kind of by myself, around the UK in ninety four and I basically came home.

I met lots of people and came home with one or two email addresses.

Everything else was still nail mail letterboxes and phone numbers like landline.

Phone numbers with a few stamps though didn't.

We got a few stamps, got a few stamps.

So it all kind of change between like ninety four and ninety nine in this film was made pretty quickly and then more so after that.

So thanks for joining.

You are extremely busy, always busy in my hold, no doubt about that.

You just asked me if I had a heart out, and I said no, Did you have a timing interleave?

I got eight hours.

Okay, it's gonna be a mega episode.

It's gonna be a four parter.

You ain't se nothing yet notting Hill.

We're gonna get to your three faite films soon, but before just just a little teaser because we'll talk more about notting Hill next week.

But where did this loom on your movies?

You hadn't seen the loom large?

Were you always a bit like why haven't I seen notting Hill?

What did you know about it?

Yeah?

It was one of those films that's constantly referenced in pop culture, and every time someone brings it up, I was like, I've got to watch that.

I really need to get around to that.

And I'd see it on planes and I'd be like, oh, I should watch that, but then i'd be distracted by like a new release that I hadn't seen.

So it was just one of those things I just never got around to.

Yeah, and because you would have known, ye, I'm just a boy.

Yeah I knew, Yeah, I'm just a girl.

I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking her to love asking him to love her.

Yeah, I knew that.

I knew all the like references.

I didn't really know the plot.

I knew it was about like a actress dating Normy.

Yeah, but yeah I didn't.

I knew every reference about it except the actual film itself.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's certainly that line, the I'm just a girl transcends this movie.

It seems I feel like that.

Yeah, that's well and truly out there.

I saw this in the cinema.

This is how old I am, and it's just it's dawning on me recently.

I was telling you just off here that this is now an old film.

It's like twenty six years old.

Yeah, So in nineteen ninety nine, if I was to watch a twenty six year old movie.

You know, you'd be going back to nineteen seventy three, Well, so you'd be watching maybe something like All the Presidents Men or something like that.

You're definitely coming back to do more episodes of your anything that there's more movies for you to watch.

But there is a connection between notting Hill, which we'll talk about next week, and I can't wait to find out what you thought of it, and one of the movies you chose about Time is a Richard Curtis film, and it is really happy to see it on your list because I think it's a really underrated film.

Yeah.

I think so too.

I think it kind of slipped under the Yeah, The Raider.

It's Donald Donald Gleeson, Ye, who is Brendan Gleeson's son, who's now killing it.

He's doing the paper the US Office spin off, and he's in everything at the moment.

And Margot first.

Like just before Wolf of Fall Street.

Yeah, I completely forgot she was in it until very recently.

Yeah, and Bill Nye.

It's such a it's such a fun cast and it's a time traveling it's it's a higher concept than most Richard Curtis films.

Yes, so tell us about the plot.

The plot is Donald Gleason.

Oh my god, I can't remember his character's name.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

I've got to leave something for it when they go on, So I won't.

I won't give any spoilers.

But he has a name.

He grows up with a father who tells him when he's of age that he has the ability to time travel just like he does.

This is an odd moment for me because I had the same moment with my father when I just turned twenty one, and after it, my life was never the same.

So I approach it pretty nervously.

Okay, when you're ready.

It's all very mysterious, right.

The simple fact is the men in this family have always had the ability to This is going to sound strange.

Be prepared for strangeness, get ready for spooky to But there's this family secret, and the secret is that the men in the family can travel in time, well more accurately, travel back in time.

We can't travel into the future.

This is such a weird joke, Seriously, not a joke.

See, you're saying that you and granddad and his brothers could all travel back in.

Time, absolutely, and you still do absolutely, although it's not as dramatic as it sounds.

It's only in my own life.

I can only go to places where I actually was and can remember.

I can't kill Hitler or shag Helen of Troy unfortunely.

Okay, stop, if it's true, which it isn't, although it is, although it isn't obviously, but if.

It was, which is not, which it is, which it isn't.

But if it was, how would I actually?

How is the easy bit?

In fact, you go into a dark place, big cupboards are very useful, generally toilets at a pinch.

Then you clench your fists like this, think of the moment you're going to and you'll find yourself there after a bit of a stumble.

And a rumble and a tumble.

And that's as far as the science fiction goes, which I love.

That's really because, yeah, that would have been a massive conversation or a thought process that Richard Curtis would have gone through.

Okay, do we build something elaborate and do we go through all this it dive really into the science fiction of it, yep, or do we just make it as simple?

And it's a risk because you know, because if one go well that's stupid.

Yeah, but it works.

It works, It works beautifully, and it's a very The science fiction aspect is so understated, you don't it's I would never consider it a science fiction film.

It's just an aspect.

It's like romanticizes the plot, I suppose.

Yeah, but yeah, it's about him discovering he has this so he can go about, like if he does something wrong, he can go back five seconds and fix it.

And he meets a woman at a blind restaurant, like a restaurant in the dark, yes, and then he loses her number and he goes back trying to like redo it and fix it, and then it's basically just about their relationship and the parts of it he like goes back four relives and then when that stops being effective, and it's just like a really interesting depiction of a relationship and the bits you want to fix and just kind of this acceptance and not everything goes right.

Yeah.

The woman is that Margot Robbie or no, that's Rachel McAdams.

Margo Robbie plays his initial like his teenage love interest.

Yes, almost one of these is he thinks the dream girl.

And then m and Ragel McAdams is I think one of the she's in the Julia Roberts category.

God charisma oozing out of it.

Absolutely.

I remember seeing her the first time in The Hangover, so not The Hangover Wedding Crashes, Yes, and it's kind of thinking, how perfectly cast is she.

She's a somebody who you go, you know, that's the dream girlfriend right there.

Well, my first interaction with her was in the same year The Notebook and Mean Girls, Girls, and it never occurred to me it was the same.

She's just very dynamic, but mean girls.

She like that.

I think that was I'm not sure I saw girls mean girls in the cinema, so so I would have seen mean girls I think before Wedding Crashes.

Maybe I'm not sure which came first, but you're absolutely right, like because Rachel McAdams became almost like an industry where like like Julia Roberts who was making Runaway Bright and Pretty Woman and you know and Nodding Hill, and Rachiel McAdams was making those romantic comedies or romantic films like The Notebook and Your Wedding Crashes and you know, of the films.

But one of the first times we saw her was playing Regina George in Mean Girls, and she's she's horrible.

That's really really funny.

Yeah, yeah, really good, like comedic streak to her American.

Yeah, I think she's she's awesome, and if.

She's listening, I think she'll be very flattered by this.

Well, you never know, you know, I know she's on the Patreon.

We've got to call, we got to I gave it a hotline, Rachel, you're there.

She's also very good and red Eye, red Eye is nothing.

Theress a great maybe Killian Murphy.

Yeah, I'm familiar.

Yeah, so's she's a good one.

Finding Nemo.

What a this is?

This is perfection when it comes to animation, even the storytelling.

From a storytelling point of view, it really.

Is absolute perfection.

This is definitely a nostalgia pic for me.

But I think I was like, I remember being blown away when I saw at it.

Yeah, like eight, and I was a kid when it came out, So I.

Was like, the don't keep saying you don't keep saying that I'm so young.

And I'm so fresh and my ideas are relevant.

Do you know what I noticed when I started doing like TV stuf because I was twenty five when I started on have you E been paying attention?

Audiences do not like it when you say you're young.

They do not care for that shit.

It's funny.

I've spoken to some people who were on the younger at end of the age when they go do like dancing with the stars and they're like like fit and hot and all that, and they get better of that.

Why do you get bat of that?

I guess because they don't like it.

Yeah, they hate it.

Yeah.

If this was in front of a live audience, I would be bombing right.

The reason a live audience watching we had the mean that.

That's why it's quiet.

Yeah, but no, it's so you were young when you watched Funny Nemo yep, I have.

I think it was eight years old came out and I have a very vivid memory of seeing it because we watched it on DVD at home, and midway through the movie, my dad brought a dead bird into the house.

Instead of birds died out in the front of our house, we should go bury it, and so we had to pause.

It was just after the Bruce scene.

We had to pause it, go outside and bury this bird.

I cried, and then we came back in and finished the movie.

So you already were emotional at the movie before the bird died or happened.

I hadn't quite happened yet, but then I was like primed and ready, you're ready to go?

Yeah, wow, bird d could have waited.

Maybe it was very excited.

I remember him being like quite juzzed up, like birds dead?

What was it?

Was?

It like it's just like a life experience, kind of lesson than you could Yeah, can share?

I think so.

I think you just like to do any activity because.

You grew up.

You grew up in Queensland.

No, I grew up.

I know it's a it's a common misconception.

Well let's get this straight.

I grew up in in between Canberra and Indonesia.

So I moved back and it's got a ballpark.

Queensland is between that.

Of the town between Canberra and Indonesia.

But you live in Canberra.

No, in Indonesia.

Yeah, so I'd moved back and forth every three three to five years between them, right.

What was that like?

I found it hard at the time, just because you're a kid in middle school and you're like moving countries constantly.

But now I love it.

I love that it was part of my childhood and it was so different.

And like the school I went to in Bundling, like in Indonesia, was like three hundred kids from preschool to year twelve.

And so I just grew up in this really tight knit, like beautiful community.

And yeah, I wouldn't trade it.

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't.

About time it.

You go back there.

I literally just went back this year for a wedding.

I took my husband, he went for the first time.

It was awesome.

Yeah, it was such a And I went back to my old house and look, this is very look I grew up with like a maid and a driver, and I'm very aware of the privilege that I had.

But I went back and the guard for my house named Tago.

I've known him since I was like eight years old.

I went back.

I hadn't seen him in ten years, and he was still there, and like, I'm so glad I still have some Indonesia because I got to like chat to him and we were so excited to see each other.

It was so nice.

I couldn't believe he was still there.

So you often hear when people when they're young and they move around a little bit, they do fall into like movies become a thing for them did the time?

Was that the same for you?

Yeah, one hundred percent.

Yeah, I like loved movies grow up, especially in high schol I want to be a cinematographer up until, like, I had started doing comedy genuinely really, but yeah, I just became a big movie buff.

So your read's absolutely right there.

Thank you very much.

So you see Finding Nemo when you're eight Yep, And like I said, it is it is a perfect film.

Firse who don't know the hero's journey, take us explain what that is.

It's the hero of the story starts out having a certain opinion and then they go through various tasks and ordeals to and it slowly changes their opinion from the start of the film, and then by the end those experiences have transformed them into a different person, into a hero.

Yes, yes, and it's and this does it as well as any other film does.

Pixar are a bit of a masterclass at their best with this and Finding Nemo.

You know, Craig Mason script notes, Yes, there's a great episode where Craig Mazon on script notes, Cregg Mason has a recent You've written the last of Us and Schnoble before the lastly did comedies, The Hangover Films, The Scary Movie Films, an amazing career pivot, and he does an episode where he basically gives a how to how to write a movie?

You know, how to write a screenplay?

I really recommend it's just google it.

It's got script notes, and he uses finding Nemo as the best example of, you know, the storytelling.

And the other point he makes is that obviously highlighting the hero's journey, but the pain and the hurdles that that the screenwriters put in front of Marlon to get to Nemo is phenomenal.

Like the fear he has about he's only he's only got the one son, and then he's got the stakes massive, he's only got the one flipper.

He's out into the world, and he doesn't want to these child at into the world, and he's going, I need the one flipper.

And he's the only child, and he's and he's not necessarily the bravest.

Tearing up at the market.

It's really like, it's it's it's it's a beautiful film.

It's incredible.

If it wasn't for you, I never would have even made it here, so thank you.

Hey, hey, wait a minute, we'll wait.

Where are you going?

It's over, Dory, we were too late.

Nemo's gone and I'm going home now.

No, no, you can't.

Stop.

Please don't go away.

Please.

No one's ever stuck with me for so long before.

And if you leave, if you leave, I just I remember things better with you.

I do.

Look p Sherman forty two, forty two.

I remember it.

I do.

It's there.

I know it is because when I look at you, I can feel it.

And I look at you and I.

I'm a home.

Please.

I don't want that to go away.

I don't want to forget.

I'm sorry, dor, but I do.

I also think, because I grew up overseas, that kind of Australia connection I really sidled with because I would constantly find myself like trying to consume Australian media while I lived overseas, because I get so homesick sometimes, and I think the Australian connection in that film really resonated with me.

And also that animation is unbelievable.

Yeah, for its time, it's just incredible.

Well, every time there's a new picks Out film, you like part of the fun of it would be kind of see how far has animation because they were the forefront and still are, I assume.

But they it was always like, okay, what next?

What what you know?

Like I remember when Toy Story came out, which is only five, and seeing it in the cinema by myself as a twenty year old, but going, okay, I'm cool with this because I'd heard about this new kind of animation style and was blown away.

And then you kind of look at it now and it's it's good, but it's like watching again, you know, an animated film from the seventies compared to Toy Story, Sid's.

Skin was not being that smooth if it was a teenager said, Sid's got some issues.

Yeah, they got a They had didn't learn how to animate acne yet.

They hadn't figured out the texture.

They they were good when they Yeah, humans, they hadn't mastered yet.

So I think you're absolutely right.

But Nemo and shout out to my good friend Rovik Manus who got a roll a little rolling locky man.

Do you know I forgot that until just now.

I should actually ask him about that.

Yeah, he'll deliver, He'll delivered the lines.

And also I shout out to the score, the Thomas Newman score.

Yes, it's there's one little like song in it that genuinely makes me cry if I ever need to cry for anything.

I just listened to this like forty second score by Thomas Newman.

I think it's Nemo's egg is.

The neigh of the score.

Yeah, just the just the song.

Yeah, it's incredible.

It's a massive class of filmmaking across the whole, the whole, Every element of that movie is fantastic.

A movie that I have not seen.

My apologies, is a boiling point.

No good, this is I can tell you about it.

It's very exciting.

It's very weirdly of the time because it's by the guys who made Adolescens.

Oh yeah, it was the film.

It's same thing.

One shot set in a restaurant starring Stephen Graham, and it's basically just ninety minutes.

It's it breaths like a plate and it just follows this chef who's kind of on the brink of a breakdown over the course of like ninety minutes of a shift.

It's on boh yeah, service on table four.

Yeah, Table seven said, the lamb is undercooked.

What they wanted to be cooked again.

No, that's that's fine.

It's spos it's pink.

I did try and explain that to them.

Did you explain.

Table seven?

Okay, well they didn't.

That's pretty well done, the best it well done with.

That's lamb.

That's how it's supposed to be.

It's supposed to be pink.

I know I didn't.

Okay, just didn't listen to me.

Okay, what table is it?

Seven?

Let me follow?

Just just trying a ship out.

We're supposed to it in sharp.

All your voice, So explain next time, plaze.

Yes, yes, I will say.

Why was that plate said back?

It's fine?

Well, what's the problem, because there's no problem.

What's the problem.

I'm asking you what the problem was?

They said it was too pink?

Right, so the customer wasn't happy.

That was that's what the problem was.

No, No, the problem wasn't that.

The problem is your staff isn't explaining what my problem.

Because either it is that they've sent the plate.

Back because they're not happy.

It's quite simple.

The Lamy's supposed to be pink.

Do you understand that the lamy is supposed to be doing?

Not my staff's issues not do you understand.

That I'm saying the Christomers always, that I'm saying the costumers always?

Do you know?

How do you know how the dishes is supposed to be cooked?

Do?

Yeah?

I think I've only seen it once or twice.

It just blew me away when I saw it.

And that's weirdly how I watched Ado Lessons initially, like I didn't know about the high but I just thought, oh my god, they've made a TV show.

Of course I'm going to watch this, but yeah, kind of it's it's really incredible, really really good film.

So when when these films are executed, well, when it's you know, even if it's not one shot, if I even's just like it's you know, set over an afternoon or set it over a night, or set over an hour or whatever it might be, it's yeah, it could be really powerful.

There's a film called Locke, which is Tom Hardy and it's him in a car and you never cut away from it and he's just having phone calls with various people.

It's the phone booth effect.

Yeah, conf yeah, yes, it was a shomaker.

I feel like at that.

Point someone will know someone.

I want to write in ye Rachel.

Rachel's online.

She might have found it.

Was a big filmmaker.

He made one of the Batman films.

He came on Rod Live.

He actually said nice things about me.

I'm forgetting his name now.

Joel Schumacher, Joel Schumacher, Yes, have you seen Buried Nos Ryan Reynolds, he's got the same idea.

He's in a coffin forst ninety minutes.

Yeah, it just doesn't cut away.

It's so it's if you're claustrophobic, didn't watch it.

It kind of feels cost the Phoe being a car with Tom Hardy for like ninety minutes, a coffin with Ryan Reynolds.

But that is that is incredible.

But Locke is one of those one of the is basically made by the guy who made Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

He created that.

He's just he's got a guy who has his an ideas guy and just makes things happen.

But yeah, he's basically a guy who's he has phone some phone calls about some work that he's trying to organize, but largely it's then about his wife and his kids.

His kids are waiting him to get home to watch a football game, and there's something that he hasn't told them yet that's happened, and he's on his way somewhere else and and it's just it's that it's heartbreaking and it's like it's so simple though, like and then listen to it.

When I listen to it as as a as a dad and as a husband, you kind of listen to it and the and the kids who were all they wanted to they had to come home watch the football game with him, and then it starts, things start unraveling, and it's yeah, it's it's a beautiful, beautiful performance by Tom Hardy.

Yeah, and even that the you know, the underrated voice actors who are there.

Yeah, incredible.

Yeah, I'm a bigger I love theater like yeah, plays and like I love any movie that reads as a play and has the same like I don't know, feeling of watching something live and unravel in front of you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

One of my favorite in that as as plays, I've seen Glen Glen Gary, Glen Rossta.

Watch that Glen Garry Glenn ross Is they're doing on Broadway to the market, like Kieran Colchin Bilbur but the film version, so it's it's it's David Mammett.

I wrote it.

He's one of the all time great American screenwriter stage writers.

And it's Al Pacino, Alec Bordwin, Alan Mark and Jez My mind's not working as well today as I should be.

It's so funny.

You obviously have this wealth of knowledge and you're like beating yourself up and not remembering.

Yeah, Ed Harris, Ed Harris is in it, and yeah, Alan Mark and Ellen Arkan is so good as such a one of those actors that elicits kind of empathy and you really feel for him.

And Jack Lemon.

Jack Lemon is so again, He's one that you just feel as well.

Yeah, Jack Lemon, Yeah absolutely.

But Glen Garry glen Ross, if you love movies that are kind of almost play like, then Gary, glen Ross and Locke I'm recommending for you.

But they are your three favorite films.

And we next week it will be chatting to you about notting Hill.

Do you mind coming back week?

I'd love to.

I obviously have nothing on.

You have nothing on before we do, though, we do encourage our listeners to get onto our speak pipe and leave a message any comments you have about the show.

Any guess you want to have on any movies you want us to cover, and Seamus has gone on to us let us have listened to shamous.

Hey Pete.

First of all, I just want to say that your podcast is awesome and you do a great job every week.

I think we have a lot of favorite films in common, which is awesome.

One film that is one of my all time favorites is Fantastic, mister Fox, and I'd love to see a chat with someone about that movie one day.

Not only is it a great book, but the film is also unreal and very very underrated in my opinion.

I'm a school teacher and I'm constantly chatting to my kids about both the book and film about how great it is.

So yeah, I would love to see you give it a crack.

Also, you need to bring back Luke McGregor as a guest because he is bloody funny.

Thanks mate, see ya, Yes.

Mister Fox, not to McGregor.

It's a hard.

It's a hard, famously difficult to watch.

Oh my god, yes to both both of those things.

You nodded when he said fantastic, mister Fox.

You know I haven't actually seen it, but I'm a big Anderson film.

I mean, obviously I lived in Brunswick for a bit.

I love Anderson fantastic, mister Fox is brilliant.

I almost said Moon Rose Kingdom is one of my favorite movies.

It's so so close.

So do you see the recent one?

No, I don't think I've caught up.

I think I do find like I did enjoy the most recent one, and I my he's coming to tradition.

My son, Oscar, my youngest son, we watched some Wes Anderson films during lockdown and with my older kids, I watched like good Fellers and some of the Taxi Driver, and he was a bit young for that, so we did Wes Anderson.

I did forget how many handjof references they were in Rushmore, A lot of Yeah, man, I thinks is not yeah, okay, yeah Early Anderson.

But yeah, he's just a beautiful filmmaker.

I do wonder though, I wouldn't mind him just surprising us one year with a film with it that has a different palette and a different esthetic.

So funny if he just made like hyper violent horror, yeah, but it's still like shot beautiful.

So beautifully.

Yeah.

Yeah, I just kind of feel like, you know, you kind of feel like you go and see the same twenty six actors who are working for Scale, and I do.

I do love his film, even though films I don't.

Let's have a great reaction to the first time after I was for a second time and I go, okay, yeah, yeah, that's nice.

I didn't take my son to go see.

And I want to put this out there.

Poor Thomas Anders is a new film one after another.

Okay, so I I I'm gonna go see this, I think, but it took a bit of convincing.

I controversially don't love his movies.

Really.

I think he's obviously brilliant, but I just don't resonate with them.

Like every time I've seen what I've just come out being like I just couldn't connect with it.

Which ones have you seen?

Litt chat about this?

Lickris Pizza, Pizza, inherent Vice.

Yeah, and this is going to be controversial Boogie Nights Nights.

It's not that I didn't love it, I just couldn't connect to it.

Yeah, fair enough, I would recommend and Hamis McDonald covered this on our podcast and famously did not enjoy the movie.

But I think you'll have a different perspective on it.

Puns Drank Love is.

The Sandla film, Sandla Film, Sandler's bigger moment.

He made every comedian I think they could act.

Yes, damn you, Adam Sandler.

They're all sitting there being like, what if I'm brilliant?

I just haven't had the right script yet.

Where's port Thomas Anderson come out to me?

I him and Emily Watson are so good.

God, I love Emily Watson.

Yeah, Emily Watson's so good.

She's she's amazing in this and it's a very gentle film.

But it's a lot of stuff happens, you know.

It's it's beautifully made.

It's different than any other film.

I think you'll see it's ninety minutes, you know.

I think after Magnolia, he basically challenged himself to write a film because Magnolia was for three hours.

I love Magnoli here as well, but he challenged himself to write like a ninety minute film, and Punch Rank Love is the result, and it's it's so good, so yes, one battle after another.

Though it's a different film for him.

I think it's got a different kind of look.

But it talk about the zeitgeist.

If you are following anything that's happening out of the news out of America with the Ice agents and all that stuff happening and the war on immigration.

This feels like it was written for this exact moment in time.

People are calling it a blockbuster.

They're saying, you've got to go see it in imax.

They're saying it's like like a film film, Like I saw it in imax, and I probably will go and go see the seventy mil version as well.

It's because I don't want to drink it back in again, like I kind of I put a lot of pressure on PTA films and probably wears aison as well.

You go there and you kind of thinking, am I enjoying it?

Am I?

Is this as good as I?

You know?

Like, and I was doing a little bit of that, I think because I had my son with me.

It was his first PTA film.

I was kind of wondering what he thought.

So I want to go see it by myself again and this kind of But I was so much to love about it.

Some of the performances by actors that you wouldn't necessarily lean out of the caprio is amazing.

But there are some performances from there's a new actress in Chase Infinity.

Yes, yes, she's incredible.

Now that's a superstar.

Jack Lemon and Chasing Together Last just really amazing performances and Johnny Greenwood score is always amazing.

So yes, saw that, and I saw This Is Spinal Tap too.

Just while we're yes, have you seen have you seen Spinal Tap?

I know, I know about it?

Familiar, do you know?

I reckon?

I have my wealth of film knowledge starts from about two thousand and four onwards.

Prior to that, everyone's like, have you seen this classic film?

Like not, yeah, but there's there's a period where like I sort of seen a lot.

Yeah, Yes, I love Spinal Tap, and I think I was in a cinema with it.

It was pretty packed, and I enjoyed This Is Spinal Tap too.

Was it as good as it could have been?

Maybe not?

I think they could have done a bit more work on Yeah, famously, they kind of just there's no real script.

They have ideas.

There's a few things that maybe would have been could have been better if they did actually have a stronger idea about why this film was actually happening and why the guys were getting back together.

But Outside of that, it didn't bother me.

It bothered a few other comedians.

I was with name Names and Nick Kappa and and but I there was enough laugh for me.

And I was in a cinema laughing with people and that felt pretty good.

That's great, that's great times, that's all you want.

Well, this film where we're going to chat about next week notting Hill.
