00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Hello and welcome to Screen Battle,
00:14 your guide to what to watch.
00:16 We'll be tuning into hours and hours of TV
00:18 so we can tell you what you need to be switching on
00:20 and what's to be avoided.
00:22 I'm your host, Kelly Crichton,
00:23 and as ever, our resident TV critics are here,
00:25 Benjamin Jackson and Stephen Ross.
00:28 It's week two of 2024,
00:30 and we are ready for another great year of TV, are we not?
00:35 Remember, if you want to see our faces,
00:38 you can head over to Freeview Channel 276, Shots,
00:41 which is brought to you by a network
00:42 of journalists across the country
00:43 who are transforming stories
00:44 at the heart of your community into great TV.
00:46 You'll find true crime stories,
00:49 football news and analysis,
00:50 plus coverage of lifestyle, TV, film, and much more.
00:53 If you haven't tuned in before,
00:54 each week we'll be chatting about what we're watching
00:57 as well as looking more closely at a new program
00:59 or something making the headlines in the deep dive.
01:01 This week, Stephen is going to talk to us
01:03 about the Artful Dodger,
01:04 which he has been watching intently for the last few days,
01:08 and it'll bring us a very thorough review, I'm sure.
01:11 And finally, we go back to the future.
01:13 Normally, this week, what we're doing
01:16 is Benji's going to talk to us about the Golden Globes,
01:19 which is kind of back to the future in a way,
01:20 because it's, you know.
01:21 - Well, it's only a couple of days ago,
01:23 so, you know, literally, figuratively speaking,
01:26 I am going back to the, well, yeah.
01:29 It works, people, it works.
01:30 - It works, it works.
01:31 - Yeah, it works.
01:32 - If she's hoarding it in there.
01:33 - I promise, it's gonna work.
01:34 It will, I assure you.
01:35 - But first, as always, we like to talk about
01:39 what everyone has been watching recently,
01:41 and it's been a bumper season for it this week.
01:44 Stephen, you're up first.
01:46 What have you been watching?
01:48 - So I saw a couple of movies,
01:50 but one of them was, it's not out yet.
01:52 I got the screener for it.
01:54 It is "The Beekeeper."
01:55 Comes out on the 12th in cinemas, Friday the 12th,
01:58 so tomorrow as this comes out.
02:01 It's the new Jason Statham action flick, and it's--
02:04 - Whoa, I would not have guessed that from the title.
02:07 - Yeah, well, it's basically that genre
02:10 of Jason Statham action movies.
02:12 It's like all of his others, but it's pretty good.
02:15 I think there's something that elevates it
02:17 slightly above the cookie cutter.
02:19 - Yeah.
02:20 - It's not quite John Wick, but it's sort of getting there.
02:22 - It's likeable, that's the thing.
02:23 Jason Statham, isn't he?
02:24 He's kind of likeable, so that helps, yeah.
02:26 - It's pretty good.
02:27 It's fun, it's got a decent cast.
02:29 So you've got Josh Hutcherson from "The Hunger Games."
02:32 He's in it as like King Tech Bro.
02:34 - Yeah.
02:35 - And Jeremy Irons in as well.
02:38 - Jeremy Irons.
02:39 Jeremy Irons, my favorite, all men.
02:42 - Yeah, he's the former director of the CIA,
02:45 I believe, in this movie.
02:48 But he's a pretty committed part for, you know--
02:53 - Advancing years.
02:55 I should be following my own man.
02:56 - Yeah, he sort of does bring a bit to it.
02:58 - He was always a good, bad guy, wasn't he, Jeremy Irons?
03:01 I mean, he's a great actor in general, but a good bad guy.
03:04 - That's good, that's good.
03:05 So it's in cinemas this weekend.
03:07 And is it one of these double release things?
03:09 - So it's a Sky original.
03:11 So it will come to Sky Cinema at some point in 2024,
03:14 but that's not been announced yet.
03:18 So at some point after it's out in cinemas.
03:21 - Yeah, we'll give it a shout on What to Watch,
03:23 obviously, at some point.
03:24 Okay, Benji, what about you?
03:27 What's been up?
03:28 - I've been delving into Yorgos Lanthimos's past work,
03:32 'cause I've managed to catch an advanced screening
03:35 of Poor Things before it gets released also.
03:37 - Yeah, which we'll feature in your chat
03:40 in a little while about the Golden Globes, obviously.
03:42 But yeah.
03:43 - It's probably, unfortunately, the preface
03:45 going on the road to the Oscars and being on this podcast.
03:49 Probably a lot of talking about Poor Things
03:51 is gonna happen because I'm a big fan of Yorgos Lanthimos.
03:55 I loved what he did with The Favourite,
03:58 which you can catch on Disney+.
04:00 Very surprised also that one of his first movies,
04:03 Dog Tooth, which is incredibly transgressive,
04:07 you can actually stream on ITVX.
04:10 I never thought ITVX would be home of Art House Cinema,
04:14 but here we are.
04:14 - Takes a note.
04:16 Takes a note.
04:16 - Yeah, put that down now.
04:19 ITVX, home of Art House Cinema and Gattaca.
04:23 I only bring up Gattaca because the cinematography
04:26 for Poor Things- - Oh my God, Gattaca.
04:28 Yeah.
04:29 - Well, that'll be a chat for another podcast, definitely.
04:32 - Yeah.
04:33 - The cinematography for Poor Things is absolutely stunning
04:36 and definitely serves itself well to watch in the cinema.
04:41 I, following Lanthimos's works previously,
04:45 he's always been a bit more art housey,
04:47 a bit more surreal.
04:49 And you still get that with Poor Things,
04:52 but you get it with such a bigger budget.
04:54 I compared the visuals of Lisbon, for example,
04:59 to kind of a bit like Gattaca,
05:02 that retro futuristic kind of feel,
05:05 but more so kind of Baron Munchausen,
05:07 if anyone remembers that,
05:09 the whole kind of Mediterranean vibe
05:12 with kind of like flying vehicles and stuff like that.
05:16 Emma Stone's gonna win the Oscar with no disrespect.
05:19 - Tell us a little bit about it.
05:20 So it's, am I right in saying it's about a-
05:23 - It's based on Alistair Gray,
05:24 the late Alistair Gray's novel.
05:26 - Yeah.
05:27 - And it is about a character called Bella,
05:30 who is brought back from the dead.
05:33 - Yeah.
05:34 - And so you end up with this childlike creature
05:38 that is basically kind of learning
05:41 how to live in the society that they're based in.
05:44 She then gets kidnapped or kind of coerced
05:47 into leaving with another character played by Mark Ruffalo.
05:51 She then begins to explore her sexuality.
05:54 So yeah, it's a lot of sexy scenes involved in the film.
05:59 But until she kind of ends up growing
06:03 and becoming sentient and maturing throughout the film,
06:07 which is really nicely captured by the fact
06:09 that when they are at her original residence
06:13 with Willem Dafoe, who plays Godwin, who created her,
06:16 it's all in black and white.
06:18 But the more and more that she starts to mature
06:20 and become more adult,
06:23 the film then becomes more and more color.
06:26 Not the kind of thing you wanna take your mom and dad to see,
06:31 unless they're used to watching sex scenes
06:33 and did "Saltburn" with you over Christmas,
06:35 but fantastic performances from Emma Stone,
06:39 Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe,
06:42 Lenny Ussher as well. - Is there a bit of humor in it?
06:44 Or is it all, is it very serious?
06:47 - I laugh more at it than I did "Saltburn."
06:49 - Oh, wow, okay, yeah.
06:51 - And even the sex scenes are shot
06:54 in with like fish camera lenses.
06:56 So even the sex scenes had a bit of humor to them as well.
06:59 - Bit wacky, yeah. - Yeah, a bit wacky.
07:01 But it is for me his, at the moment,
07:06 modus operandi because of the huge budget
07:09 he's gotten with it.
07:10 And it's gonna be a tough one this awards season,
07:15 which we'll talk about with what things are being given,
07:18 but yeah, it's gonna do really well
07:22 and it's well worth your time.
07:23 And if you're not familiar with Yorgos Lanthimos' work,
07:26 thankfully Disney+, ITVX, even the BBC,
07:30 they are now all, 'cause we're in awards season,
07:33 starting to stream his stuff.
07:35 So "Poor Things" is out in the cinema tomorrow,
07:37 January 12th, and you can pick up on all of his other works,
07:41 Disney+ and ITVX, but yeah.
07:45 - Cool.
07:46 - It's not the kind of thing I wanna watch with your family.
07:49 - I've never seen, I've not seen any of his films.
07:52 - Not even the lobster or the favorite.
07:55 - I've not, the lobster I've been wanting to watch for ages
07:58 and the favorite, I was gonna watch when it was in cinemas
08:01 and missed it, and then it was on Disney+,
08:03 and I thought, well, I'll watch it now it's on Disney+,
08:05 and I've not got around to any of them.
08:06 So I'm definitely gonna see "Poor Things."
08:08 - But I think to be fair, maybe the favorite,
08:11 like he's not ever become fully mainstream, has he?
08:15 Like, you know what I mean?
08:16 This is probably gonna be his biggest film, isn't it?
08:18 - It's kind of like how Ari Aster is well known now
08:23 in horror circles for his works with A24,
08:26 but they never quite encroach into mainstream territory.
08:30 There's still an art house kind of sensitivity
08:33 involved in the work.
08:34 So I don't think we're ever gonna get a just straight
08:38 mainstream Hollywood blockbuster from "Yorkers Lanthimos,"
08:41 nor would we want anything like that either.
08:43 - Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
08:46 Speaking of things you shouldn't watch with your parents
08:48 and nice cinematography,
08:50 I did watch "Saltburn" over the weekend.
08:52 Yeah, personally, I just think it's a bit overrated,
08:58 a little bit like, I feel like the sex scenes
09:01 are what everybody's talking about,
09:02 or the sort of, we call nudie scenes.
09:05 I enjoyed some of the performances.
09:09 I thought "Rosamund Pike" was great.
09:11 I enjoyed some of the characters in it,
09:13 but I thought it was quite superficial, a lot of it.
09:17 I don't know, I didn't really-
09:19 - I've had a couple of people message me saying
09:22 that they felt cold and empty after the end of it,
09:26 but I wonder if that is basically the point of the ending,
09:31 is that cold and empty feeling like we as the viewer
09:34 have been taken for a ride by this guy as well.
09:37 I might be looking too much into it
09:39 and being a theater geek about it, but you're right.
09:42 The main thing from that film is just the shocking scenes,
09:46 which makes you think, were they put there
09:48 just to elicit some kind of social media TikTok reaction,
09:51 which it has.
09:52 - Yeah, and I mean, it's beautiful, the thing,
09:54 and we live in an age of the visual is so important,
09:59 and the setting is beautiful,
10:01 and the cinematography is great.
10:04 Some of the shots are amazing,
10:05 like the little underwater things,
10:07 and the nighttime shots in the courtyard,
10:09 and things just beautifully atmospheric and everything.
10:12 But I just think if you walk away from it,
10:15 and the things that stick with you most
10:16 are the kind of weird sex scenes
10:20 or strange sex things that went on in it,
10:23 then it doesn't say much about the film.
10:25 I don't know.
10:26 So anyway, that was that.
10:28 And I have been watching loads of new stuff this week,
10:31 and I don't have very much time to talk about it,
10:34 but I am watching "The Traitors."
10:36 I did not watch the last series.
10:38 I am enjoying it much to my horror.
10:41 It's one of those things that I watch,
10:42 and I feel dirty when I'm watching it,
10:44 but I can't stop watching it.
10:45 So I will fill you in on that more next week.
10:49 "Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office,"
10:51 which has been all over the news this week,
10:55 which you probably don't need to hear any more about it
10:57 from me, but I...
11:00 There's a lot going on,
11:04 because obviously it's this big, huge, serious,
11:06 terrible story.
11:08 But in terms of the actual drama,
11:10 I think it's very good.
11:11 And I think that, you know, I'm not finished it yet,
11:15 but I think that there's some good performances in there.
11:18 And they've managed to tell a huge story
11:21 in quite a small space of time, you know?
11:24 So that's good.
11:25 I'll give you a more fulsome review next week,
11:27 potentially.
11:27 And I started "Fool Me Once,"
11:29 which seems to be popular in some circles,
11:31 but I've only done a couple episodes.
11:33 And there's eight episodes,
11:34 which has me thinking this is not going to be worth it.
11:37 But watch this space.
11:39 So that's what we've all been watching this week.
11:43 We'll be back in part two with the deep dive
11:46 into the artful Dodger.
11:48 And Benji is going to talk to us about the Golden Globes
11:51 on Back to the Future, sort of, technically.
11:53 (upbeat music)
11:55 Stephen, you're going to talk to us about the artful Dodger.
12:07 Tell us about this.
12:08 I know very little about this, actually,
12:10 but you've been watching it.
12:11 - So it is a sort of sequel to "Oliver Twist."
12:17 - Oh.
12:17 - As far as I'm aware, it's not really based
12:19 on any specific Dickens book.
12:21 - Writing, yeah.
12:23 - Obviously there's like references in there.
12:26 You get a few sort of, "Oh, Dodge, it was the best of times.
12:30 "It was the worst of times."
12:31 That kind of stuff.
12:32 And I'm sure, I mean, I've not really read much Dickens.
12:35 I'm not that cultured,
12:36 but I reckon there's probably a few more lines in there.
12:41 There was a few lines where I could've-
12:41 - You'd love it.
12:42 You'd love Dickens, totally.
12:43 - I know, I know.
12:44 So I've read "A Christmas Carol,"
12:46 because that's quite short, but that's about it.
12:48 - "Leak House" is my favorite.
12:49 Try that one.
12:50 Take your wild minds, big book.
12:52 - Yeah, go on.
12:53 - Yeah, I think there's probably quite a bit
12:55 of references in there.
12:57 I Googled a few of the characters' names
12:59 and they seem to pop up through his books.
13:02 But yeah, it's set in the 1850s Australia.
13:05 Dodger, post, I was gonna say "Lord of the Rings,"
13:09 post-Oliver Twist has been collared for his crimes.
13:14 - Sent to Australia.
13:16 - Left to rot by Fagin in prison,
13:20 and then whacked off to Australia,
13:22 where he's managed to actually make a life for himself
13:24 as a doctor.
13:25 - As a doctor?
13:27 - Yeah, at some point he joined the Navy
13:29 and then he became a sore bones.
13:31 And while-
13:33 - Flattery, I did not see coming.
13:35 Yeah, okay.
13:36 - Whilst he's in Australia,
13:37 this prisoner comes up to him and turns out it's Fagin.
13:41 And instead of chucking him in prison,
13:44 Dodger decides to take him on as his personal servant.
13:47 And Fagin tries to bring Dodger back into a life of crime,
13:51 but Dodger, who's now Jack Hawkins,
13:54 like not a respected,
13:56 but more respected than he was as a common thief,
13:59 is working as one of the two or three doctors
14:02 in the penal colony,
14:04 where he meets Lady Belle,
14:06 the beautiful daughter of the governor of the colony,
14:10 and sort of begins to fall in love with her.
14:13 And Lady Belle harbors hopes of becoming a doctor herself,
14:17 but obviously faces massive-
14:20 - Discrimination.
14:21 - Gender barriers as a woman in the 1800s.
14:25 So she sort of secretly works with Dodger
14:29 to basically come up with the first anesthetic
14:34 that's used in Australia.
14:37 They do some groundbreaking surgeries,
14:39 but she's not really able to take any of the credit.
14:42 And alongside of this,
14:44 Dodger's being targeted by Gaines,
14:47 the captain of the guard,
14:48 who suspects that him and Fagin
14:50 are trying to steal basically
14:52 whatever they can get their hands on.
14:54 And a lot of the time,
14:55 that's a fair point 'cause they are.
14:57 - So he's still got a bit of a shady side to him.
15:00 - He's got a lot of the Dickens themes of class
15:03 and love that transgresses these class boundaries
15:07 and criminality and law and order
15:10 and the unjust sort of system of the time.
15:13 But instead of like Victorian England or Victorian London,
15:16 it's Victorian Australia.
15:20 And it's, yeah, it's pretty fun.
15:23 It's, one thing I will say is a caveat,
15:26 sort of trigger warning.
15:28 Lots of really graphic scenes of surgery.
15:31 - Oh.
15:32 - So I, and that sort of tapers off
15:35 in this latter half of the series.
15:37 But the first four episodes
15:39 is one sort of big set piece surgery,
15:42 each episode where you have broken bones being set
15:46 and amputations.
15:48 - Oh, geez.
15:49 - All that kind of thing,
15:51 which is a bit much.
15:53 I sort of watched those through my hands.
15:55 - Yeah, yeah.
15:56 - But it's pretty fun.
15:57 It's sort of tongue in cheek comedy drama.
16:01 David Thouless plays Fagin,
16:03 who the first episode I thought,
16:05 who is that guy?
16:06 I know that guy,
16:07 but he inhabits the role so well
16:09 that I was sort of taken aback
16:11 when I realised it was David Thouless,
16:12 who you'll know is Lupin from Harry Potter.
16:18 And, one second, I'll just.
16:22 And Thomas Brodie Sangster plays Jack Dawkins/Artful Dodger.
16:28 So he's from Queen's Gambit, I guess recently.
16:32 And of course, the young boy in Love Actually.
16:34 - Which everybody's gonna know him as,
16:36 the young guy in Love Actually,
16:37 who looks that much older than he did in Love Actually.
16:40 Actually.
16:41 - Yeah.
16:42 And May Mitchell plays Lady Belle.
16:43 I'm not sure if she's been in anything I've seen before,
16:46 but I think this will probably be
16:48 a bit of a springboard for her.
16:50 And also Tim Minchin plays a sort of secondary character.
16:56 - A stinging, travelling salesman of some sort.
16:59 - Well, he's a more minor villain
17:01 who tries to cheat at cards
17:03 and then crops up again throughout.
17:05 I knew I recognised him,
17:06 and it wasn't until the finale
17:07 that I realised it was Tim Minchin.
17:09 And yeah, he's great, obviously.
17:13 - Sounds a little bit different anyway.
17:16 So how many episodes?
17:18 - Eight episodes.
17:20 Now, not coming out until the 17th.
17:23 So you got a little wait as this comes out,
17:25 six days, I guess.
17:27 But they should all be released in one go.
17:29 They all came out in one go in the US in November.
17:32 So we've got a little while longer to wait.
17:35 But yeah, pretty fun.
17:37 The finale, I thought,
17:40 wasn't the best episode of the series.
17:44 I was hoping for a little more payoff at the end,
17:47 just a little bit, a little more obvious resolution,
17:51 but very good.
17:52 I think it's planned as a limited series.
17:53 - Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
17:54 If no obvious resolution,
17:55 then obviously series two
17:57 will be coming along at some point.
17:59 - Well, it ties itself up.
18:01 Just it's a bit ambiguous as to how everything will fall,
18:06 but I think it has been billed as a limited series.
18:10 I suspect it might get a second go around, depending.
18:14 - Okay, no, Disney Plus.
18:16 - Yeah.
18:16 - Yeah, Disney Plus.
18:17 - Yeah, Disney Plus.
18:18 - Fab.
18:19 Right, Benji.
18:20 So at this stage,
18:21 I'm sure people have heard lots about the Golden Globes,
18:24 but we also couldn't let it go by
18:25 without actually chatting about it.
18:28 We were chatting off air before we started recording,
18:31 and I was saying, you know,
18:34 it seems like they're back, quite back,
18:37 considering they were canceled two years ago
18:39 because of the scandal around not having
18:44 a properly diverse board or judging panel.
18:47 - Yeah, and the allegedly improper activities
18:50 of some of the Hollywood Press Association as well.
18:55 - Yeah.
18:55 - Some lawyers have told me allegedly.
18:57 Yeah, but it came back.
19:00 No real major surprises when it came to the winners,
19:03 which you would expect from the Golden Globes,
19:06 given that they break up the dramatic category
19:09 and the musical and comedy categories.
19:11 So Kelly Murphy, of course,
19:14 picking up the Golden Globe Best Actor
19:17 for Oppenheimer in Drama.
19:19 You've also got Christopher Nolan.
19:22 I mean, Oppenheimer just came in
19:24 and swept those kind of dramatic awards.
19:27 Poor Things, which we've spoken about,
19:29 which I was excited about,
19:30 if you didn't get the gist at the intro,
19:33 that ended up picking up Best Comedy,
19:35 and also Emma Stone winning her Best Actress
19:39 in a Musical or Comedy.
19:42 Paul Giamatti, who I absolutely loved
19:45 since he appeared in Private Parts,
19:48 which was that Howard Stern docu-pic from ages ago.
19:52 He picked up the Best Actor in a Comedy
19:57 for The Holdovers, which is opening next week.
20:00 Divine Joy Randolph also got her flowers
20:03 because of that show.
20:05 But let's move over to television
20:06 because put your hand up if you thought
20:08 Succession was gonna sweep the Golden Globes
20:11 in the television categories.
20:12 And it did, of course.
20:16 Kieran Culkin, who for me has been the MVP
20:19 in the last season of Succession.
20:21 He ended up being the actor
20:23 that ended up picking up the gong.
20:25 Sarah Snook, who has been incredible throughout.
20:29 She got her flowers as well.
20:31 And one of your favorite programs as well
20:33 got their flowers at the Golden Globes.
20:35 Both Jeremy Allen White,
20:37 his co-star, whose name escapes me,
20:41 I apologize, and The Bear.
20:43 - Oh, Eddie, I can't remember his name.
20:45 - Is it Eddie B?
20:46 Send your hate mail to benjamin.jackson@nationalworld.com
20:51 if I got that right.
20:52 But they're also picking up.
20:54 My only kind of, well, my only two gripes,
20:58 I mean, the host, but there's been a lot
21:02 of discourse about that online already.
21:05 - Yeah, Joe Carrey wasn't popular, was he?
21:07 - Well, no, and then he threw his writers under the bus
21:09 by saying, "Oh, it was my writers that wrote the jokes.
21:12 "I only had 10 days to prepare."
21:14 And what's the argument against that?
21:16 Like I said, our fair is, but Saturday Night Live
21:20 has to write for seven days a week.
21:22 So what was that excuse?
21:24 My other thing was that the winner of the standup award
21:28 was not Chris Rock for "Selective Outrage,"
21:32 which I really enjoyed, but Ricky Gervais for "Armageddon,"
21:35 which I will give one of these.
21:37 - Did it, was he?
21:39 Jesus.
21:40 - It's funny, isn't it?
21:41 He's very divisive, I think, at the moment, Ricky Gervais.
21:44 - I know.
21:45 He's gone right off the deep end into just.
21:47 - Yeah, interesting.
21:50 So yeah, I think it's one of these things as well, isn't it?
21:54 Like the kind of winners are almost an aside
21:57 with these events, you know, it's like the fashion,
22:00 you know, who was there with who.
22:02 Taylor Swift, you know, having a grumpy face about something.
22:06 Like that seems to be all the stuff.
22:08 And Cillian Murphy having lipstick all over his face,
22:10 getting his award, which I thought was kind of endearing
22:12 and very cute.
22:13 But you know, it's that kind of, yeah,
22:16 there's not much talking about the films and the TV.
22:20 You know what I mean?
22:20 - I think it was more of a case of,
22:23 there was no kind of outrage
22:25 who got overlooked for an award.
22:27 Everybody got the performance that they deserve
22:29 for the last 12 months.
22:31 And yeah, and now leads into whether,
22:35 my biggest thing heading into the Oscars in March
22:37 is, is it gonna be Lily Gladstone or Emma Stone
22:40 that picks up that Best Actress award?
22:42 So we've got the Primetime Emmys next week,
22:45 Critics' Choice.
22:46 We've got the SAG Award announcements this week
22:49 that are coming out.
22:50 So that hopefully will inform us a little bit more
22:53 what will go on at the Oscars.
22:56 But yeah, it was fun,
22:58 but it was kind of milk toast at the same time
23:00 in terms of an award ceremony compared to other years.
23:03 - Yeah, one thing worth noting, I think,
23:04 was Barbie had nine nominations and only won one.
23:07 And it's kind of like a,
23:07 - Box office achievement.
23:08 - It's almost like a sort of a made,
23:09 - Yeah.
23:10 - Yeah, it's kind of like a made up sort of,
23:12 you know, we're gonna give this to you
23:13 because you didn't win anything else.
23:15 - They got the song, didn't they?
23:16 The Billie Eilish. - Oh, did they? Sorry.
23:18 So the two, so they got two then.
23:20 But yeah, so anyway, no, very interesting
23:22 and a good start to awards season, as we say,
23:25 and we'd be touching on a lot more of that
23:26 in the coming weeks.
