 Just after 11 30 this morning and it is time to talk all things movies current and upcoming And I'm delighted to say we are joined in studio. Well, not in studio But by the by the magic of zoom and all that other technology by Collie McFadging morning, Collie Good morning, Rory. It's it's good to be with you again Even if the magic of zoom is only half working today But as long as you can hear me we've loads to talk about look if you can hear me I can hear you we can see you so that's that's the main thing That is the main thing Well, I'm too glad then I changed out of my dirty old staff hoodie and a put on a show You see you can be well caught there. You could have been well caught. I believe belated birthday wishes are in order Well, yes, and no, I had a big I had a big birthday Technically, it's not actually a birthday for another week And I was told by some those and now who have have reached this certain milestone Cling on to it for as long as you can so apparently I've Another six days of being a what should we pretend I am? Oh, that's not I'm not even going I'm not going down that rabbit hole No way. No, sir. No, sir Thank you for the birthday wishes and especially that you know You felt that the only way to celebrate my party was to take a day off. I appreciate the This this sort of collegiousness of of us there and well We had to mark it in some way didn't we you know I was gonna be like an official birthday and an unofficial birthday or I mean Are you really gonna rip the backside out of it now this weekend? Well, that was the plan but turns out I'm way too old to do more than three days in a row without taking a month off Yeah, so I think it'll be yeah the way, you know as you get older The idea of celebrating is like watching a movie and eating some cake rather than eating healthy. So that'll do me Yeah, I hear you barking I hear you bark and all right Let's talk movies because look at first of all, it's it's award season It's Oscar season So there's lots that has been through the theater since the last time we spoke and there's lots coming up as well over the next month Or so so talk us through what's coming up because I know there's loads Well, yeah, we've just come through the sort of very serious types of movies You know, we've had the fable man's we've had Empire of light and a Babylon and all these big serious Hollywood movies And we're actually kind of now coming through to blockbusters But we will have some of those coming back like for example Amazingly in Ireland last week the number two movie in the country was on Colleen Cune Which is on its 39th week of release, which is just amazing isn't it? There's a sort of a Renaissance for that movie like it never really went away It was always sort of in there in the background But now since the Oscar nominations obviously it's taken on a whole new lease of life again Absolutely, and it is great to see because not only is there like it shows you that there's an interest maybe people don't always know what the movies are and it's very easy for someone like myself or yourself who were you know like our movies and look up these things to not to Realize that we're not giving the full message out. There were loads of people who thought oh that sounds interesting But they go oh it's Irish Maybe I wouldn't understand it all or it's only a little movie It won't be in the in the theaters for very long But when they hear the force and they go well if it's that popular internationally Maybe I'll go and they loved it and they told everyone else and it's brilliant to see. However, I have to say in the month I'm very excited to talk about the movies that are coming up this month But I don't think any of them are going to trouble the Oscars really Rory to be honest with you I suppose when we start with the big family movie that's out and it's my background here today Which is of course Puss in Boots. Thank God you said that. Thank God you said that I thought I thought you were going down the magic might route there for a second with a family We're going there. Well, you know families are very different in 2020 Rory Magic Mike So Puss in Boots. Yes, which is I suppose it's in some ways It's the sixth check a Shrek movie because there was a previous Puss in Boots spin-off and there are four Shrek movies and as all we all know Shrek one great Shrek two maybe even better Then the others yeah Great So when when there was ten years gone and you're saying ah, you know I'd be a big fan of going would you not make a new movie instead of going back and rehashing old stuff And I was quite cynical about this one and then I watched it last week I have to say I really enjoyed it and as we acknowledged already. I'm an outfella I didn't even have the excuse for bringing little people with me It was just me sitting in the cinema on my own Watching it in a special preview and I was going right. Yeah, you know, let's be fair You know, I was thinking beforehand, you know, let's be fair little people will like this Don't be all sneery and yeah, it's not so funny and so on but ten minutes in I was going I really enjoyed myself here I have watched all the Oscar nominated movies and I've only enjoyed a few of them as much as I enjoyed Puss in Boots Antonio Banderas worry is having a ball. He is having a ball here He is hamming it up something wrong like I know he's a beautiful accent and all that But he's right down here and it's all Puss in Boots and it's all the fairy tales little Jack Horner All that sort of nonsense so many good jokes and one of the things I noticed as well The later strikes fell into making very topical jokes. That's as soon as they you know But it's animation. So two years later They seem out of date. So there's Karate and jokes and all that sort of stuff This one sticks to just good jokes And it's particularly about like say Goldilocks and the three-bear crime family all of this sort of stuff It's very funny very clever What we always loved about Shrek in our house was Shrek was like it was like Pantel, you know, there was something in there for There was loads in there for the kids right but there was loads in there for the adults as well It went straight over the kids head. You know what I mean and and that formula work That's what worked about Shrek. So there was something there for everybody. So the moms and the dads They didn't mind going along to see it. They didn't mind sitting down and watching it on their own They'll only be delighted to be dragged to this one They really don't and like this especially for all ages this great bit Puss has to retire in this movie for a while He's in a retirement home for cats and it is so funny and also a little bit going God How many years am I off that see the plot of the movie? I suppose I should mention the plot quickly So puss you know like all cats has nine lives and all of a sudden he realized eight of them are gone and now close Puss is close to mortality and what does he do? Does he run away and hide from it? Or does he embrace it and become the hero? He always was I think you know probably where we're going But it's absolutely a thumbs up So anybody looking for a family entertainment in the next couple of weeks and absolutely recommend it You won't feel you know those wireless headphones you give away Yeah, the people get sneak sneak in when they have to watch a Pokemon or something like that Yeah, I was trying to ring up earlier, but the Falcara mafia seemed to On the phone, but yeah this one you won't need your headphones go in and enjoy it yourself the little people enjoy it The even the grumpy teenager who really doesn't want to go with their four-year-old sister will enjoy this And there's a great cast in this as well I mean Antonio Banderas obviously, but you know you have Florence Pugh in there Olivia Coleman Ray Winston's in there as well. I mean there's a huge fantastic cast Absolutely, and you just know they're doing they're doing this one for fun Not just the money everyone's enjoying themselves. You can actually hear it in their voice I must have you know, they're all probably used to doing these sort of animation going well This isn't funny, but you know they're paying me buckets of the money where they actually get to deliver lines like this It's really good crack. However, I suppose we should go for the you know Perhaps then after bringing the kids to the cinema Perhaps the Mabby's in particular although also the daddies it's 2023 may have another movie in mind. What do you think? Yeah, well, you know, I mean where are we going? I mean, you know, where do you think we're going with this? I know where you're going with this. Yeah, yeah Absolutely, so magic Mike is back one more time So here he goes the man who's modeled his career on myself and yourself Rory Tatum is back for one more movie now the first movie, you know magic Mike is the young innocent guy who ends up You know, I'm just gonna stop you there, right? Okay before we I'm gonna be honest right full disclosure. I know nothing about magic Mike. Oh, I know not. I've never seen it I had no I have no interest in seeing it So far I saw about 10 or 15 minutes of the first one. I was made what I'm like now This is not for me. I just didn't find it funny. I didn't appeal to me at all now Maybe if I had a stuck it out for a little while, I don't know, but You tell me am I missing out? Well, I would say you're not the target audience. I think that is to be fair Here's an example Warner Brothers sent us a big message, right? And they sent they said oh promote magic Mike Whatever way you want and you can have people dressed up sections on but just remember to emphasize it's about dancing It's all about dancing not taking clothes off. It's about dancing It is on its bum about dancing But it is look it is good Harmless, you know harmless fun. It's a bit cheeky Everyone there is happy to be there chatting Tatum who is mostly old and past it at nearly 40 I tell you if I'd looked like that when I was when I was now let alone when I was 40 I would be only delighted Salma Hayek is in it. She's 56 and she's gorgeous Everyone looks great and it's all about it's like a big prolonged music video It's all dancing some of it sort of of the dirty variety, but even that is quite tame It's you know a wood like it's it's a 16s movie. It's not family friendly. Okay, but it's also not rude It's not 50 shades of gray or anything like that It is all just a bit of fun the bit of tease and there are people out there I'd like never mind the sort of mild jokes that you and I are making there are people out there who just love a Romantic dancing movie and that's what it is and now the only thing is there's one scene on it That definitely doesn't work I think for an Irish audience in the last big climactic dance They're dancing on stage and they've loads of fake rain everywhere And I think that probably works, you know in Miami and in Australia and so on All I was thinking is oh God the weather's gonna be awful You know put on a jacket man. It's freezing, you know, that's what I was thinking But look it is sexy girls night out fun, but quite innocent at the same time Right. There are people listening who will really enjoy it and you know the plot's okay And that's fine. Well, let's face it. They're not you're not going along for a big deep and meaningful plot It's not it's not a thinker. I don't think this one. Yeah in the same way that we in a couple of months time We'll be talking about fast and furious ten. They'll be loads of lads rubbing their hands Go can't wait to see that and you'll go, you know the same criticism could actually just probably more plot in magic Mike than there is in those but it doesn't matter because if you just want to enjoy a bit of fun innocent, you know harmless This is the third installment and look looking at the subtitle the final tease I assume for now anyway This is the supposed to be the final installment I think I think it probably is the final one. I think they've enjoyed themselves I don't think they ever expected to get two more out of the first one But there are big hits and I think they're enjoying themselves. They all agreed I don't know. I can see him doing a Sylvester Saloon 20 years time You know, he's doing a rocky on it. He's coming back for one final dance There could be a sort of yeah, there could be sort of a creed version where magic mic jr Comes out but this fully enough this was supposed to go straight to streaming And they liked it and they liked it so much and they thought Post-covid that people would like a night out at the cinema and I know myself that I was talking a couple of cinema owners And you know, it's been in their sort of VIP lounges that have sold out for these ones People going for a glass of wine and a pizza like and a big and have a bit of a laugh at it You know, it's a big night out movie. I doubt anybody will be going to the two o'clock screenings Yes, not gonna be a big matinee performer. I don't think no and it's one of those and why not right? Okay, so that's magic mic the last dance That is in theaters now, right? We're gonna go for a quick commercial break. What are we coming back with? I think we're gonna come back. Well, it's it's marble time talking about movies that only some people interested in But they absolutely love ant man is on its way next week And we're gonna talk about that and maybe a little time for cocaine bear just because of the title Okay, we'll talk we'll talk ant man and cocaine bear.

We are talking movies. We are joined by collie mcfadging And uh up next on the list collie. We have got uh a marvel installment It's been a while since we've had a marvel movie. I think haven't we what was the last one we had? Black panther was the last black panther. Yeah, that was what yeah, november last year So it's actually not a while but uh, this is one that's been a long time coming. I think ant man Absolutely and and the really big hopes for this one. I think you know, I know I know you like your sci-fi and your time zone time stuff I don't know if you're as into the marvel stuff and particularly the tv thing This has all been set up really by Loki the the tv show that was very successful And ever since Avengers we've had loads of marvel movies and they've all been fun But they haven't been you know part of this big overarching story that we got for the first 10 years And this supposedly is the one that's going to kick off the whole shebang again That people are going to be lining up in their droves to find out what happens in the end Building up to a big avengers movie. This is part of the the the over the big big plan that they have This is what marvel phase two or phase three or what phase are we on now for I think we're in phase four. We're in phase four. I get a wee bit I like them and I get a wee bit lost But this is the one that they're ramping up because the last few movies have been successful But not mega hits and I think they're really a bit under pressure to to knock our socks off with this one So it's called atman a quantum mania a bit of a Play on quadrophenia the last movie there and what it is is ant man and all his gang They're going to travel through time to change things now. We know we've seen spider-man We know when you go change time Things do not work out well And they're going to unleash this bad guy called kang who's played by an actor called jonathan majors Who we're going to see loads of lately because he's also the bad guy in tree three That's going to be at the start of next month. So lots of big movies. This guy's just We're just catching him at the time. He's rocking him to mega start him And he is the control basically he's the controller of the universe and he is not to be messed up with Even though he pretends. Oh, everything's fine. I'm only here to help, you know Okay, in life We should trust people who say they're here to help in movies in marvel movies never trust the guy goes Yeah, I'm only here to help always the bad guy. So this looks spectacular Rory they're pushing 3d and everything because I've seen that I've just seen the trailers and a mind blown It looks really exciting really fun. Is it a bit is it a bit of a retread though? I mean because we've so much of the marvel multiverse going on and now we're getting into time travel Is it all a bit a bit too sort of mind-bending? I mean is would it not be and this is just me speaking now and I'm not a huge marvel fan But would you are a doctor who I am a doctor who fan exactly but that's a show about time travel But would it not be better? Um to you know go with a very linear, you know movie start to finish without all this You know multi various character wobbly wobbly timey-wimey to borrow a phrase I I agree and I think they've got into the In the trenches best they got a bit bogged down with some of this lately And supposedly this is the one to show ah, this is what you're meant. This is what the storyline is This is the way you're going that all that the sort of stuff that they've been doing with different dimensions at different time Is going to make sense in this movie. I I won't nope. I'll tell you next Thursday I'll send you a text But this is the promise that this is we're going to see the plan the plot of the movie from this one And you know one of the things the ant-men movies have been entertaining partly I think because Paul Rudd, you know big fan of dunny gall went on a stack party at dunny gall Um, he is a very entertaining likeable presence and of course in these movies He's not a super genius and he's very good at explaining the obvious He's often used for that and he's you know, I always trust him when I see him in a movie you go Even if the movie's not great. He's going to be entertaining. So apparently This is the wonder putting their their stakes down to go We're going to hook you in all over again with this one Is it a jumping on point for for let's say somebody who sort of Dipped in and out very casually into the into the marvel universe. Would this be an ideal jumping on point for someone? I think yes, it would be you probably want to know a little bit about before But this is the jumping on point for the next 10 movies Okay, I think you know if you were to watch the movie 10 Like no more than you couldn't watch the final two Avengers movies without having seen all the others You wouldn't watch harry potter 7 first. This is a jumping on point for it But probably rory you're right at this stage There are people who like these sort of movies and then there's people who just go I am out. I'm tapping out. This is not for me a bit like you and magic might And I suppose though with your career as an exotic dancer in the past I suppose maybe magic might be just a bit too much like like work before you you went to the radio Well, this is it. Yeah, exactly. See it brings back bad memories. Okay, moving swiftly on right So that that's ant man and that is in theaters when That is starts next friday next friday. Okay, so we'll talk a little bit about that next month. Yeah, exactly All right. Now, here's one that I've been looking forward to talking about purely because of the title Yes, sometimes we've complicated stuff like for example I didn't want I was trying not to bore anyone too much with all the time traveled stuff in ant man But sometimes there's things you just go. I like this. It's called cocaine bear And the whole idea is it's based on a true story and then wildly exaggerated for well I'm sorry. So rewind there a second. Did you say this is based on a true story? When I say based, I mean very loosely based, right? Somebody did Uh, conduct a huge robbery of of a drug lord and they threw the drugs out of the plane to To go and pick them up later a bear found the drugs and took the drugs that did happen Right I don't think the bear went on the rampage we get on this movie Which is very much paid for tongue-in-cheeks horror laugh and what's most mind-blowing not that it's a true story Not that it's a horror movie where a bear takes a load of cocaine and goes hunting all the um The campers and stuff like that in ever-increasing funny ways The most mind-blowing thing is it was made in county wicklow even though it's a big Hollywood cast It's made in county wicklow. So every time you're watching going this could only happen in Hollywood Then you go, actually, no it happened in I recognize that guy Be too wicklow and you know, it's not the bears. I would worry about you know But you know, I have to say it looks really fun It is clearly tongue-in-cheek. Some of the bear effects look a bit ropey and I think that's on purpose I can't wait to see this. It's probably it's away from this one It's the same sort of elka snakes on a plane. That's sort of uh Snakes on the plane is a perfectly good example They came up with the title first and then went we have to do the movie Yeah, I do you know what? I think you're absolutely right It sounds like you know, I've got a great idea for a movie or I've got a great. I've got a great title I have a brilliant title. Let's build a movie around that That next we'll have bear on a plane snakes on cocaine. Who knows we might have a whole franchise here Oh, the possibilities are endless cally But after a lot of really good but serious movies, I am ready for these this month I am ready for a bit at nontons knocking out of the park enjoyed february You know, it's my birthday month, but it could be a miserable loud cold month all the same So let's go kick back enjoy leave our brains at home. They are not necessary for the next couple of weeks Let's go watch a bear high on cocaine. How about that? That sounds like a great night out How could you say no to that? Callie as always has been a pleasure talking to you. We'll talk to you in march and we'll uh, we'll go back over Um, some of the oscar winners and some of the oscar losers as well and everything that goes along with that Thanks for joining us this morning callie No problem always pleasure rory. All right. Take care. That's calling mcfadging there Talking to us all things movies and he'll join us again In march and we'll be talking oscars
