Nonnas & Bernards Watch

Nonnas

Reegs: Welcome to Bad Dad's Film Review. The podcast that is to film criticism as a sundial is to a coal mine. This week finds us confronting the concept of time itself through watches wrist shackles, whose sole purpose it is to remind you how much closer to death you are. We'll start things off with our top five watches, which will feature more winding than the chronic masturbator with a spring loaded cock ring.

Our main feature Caesars Take on Netflix is Nons a film that will make you question not just the passage of time, but also your will to continue existing in it. And for the children, we go back to 1999 with the incredibly old looking and unrealistic Bernard's watch, in which a teenage boy who is always late is given a magical watch that can stop time and he doesn't use it to molest anyone. Let's meet this week's walking arguments for why Father Time should have worn a condom. Starting with Dan. He's so old. He remembers when smartwatch meant knowing which side to wind, and he's been operating on a strict zero fuck policy since before the invention of things worth giving a fuck about.

True we also [00:01:00] have jaw dropping Chris, who approaches watching films like it's a form of medieval torture, designed specifically to break his spirit. And his film reviews consist of ti entirely of checking how much time is left and sighing dramatically

Cris: Exactly.

Reegs: and fingering his bezels in third place, the man who spent all week complaining about stiff movements and getting his hands stuck in funny positions.

It's sidey.

Sidey: Yeah, that's true.

Reegs: And then

there's me res Hello.

Hello,

Dan: hello.

It's

Reegs: fucking hot in here, isn't

Sidey: we are recording this on the hottest day, not just of the year, but of my

Reegs: Mm.

It is hot, hot, hot

Cris: if it's your life, it's more like

Sidey: the

Cris: the, we, we feel it because we've all been to work and we, we don't, I Not that hot.

It's

Sidey: It's really bad. It's really, really bad.

Reegs: bad.

It's gotta be about 30. Well, my car said it was about 34 when I was driving

Cris: Yeah. Hot is not bad. Cold is bad. Hot is is.

Sidey: oh, gimme cold Any day I can put, I can put layers on. I can't shed skin.

Dan: There's evidence over here that I may have

Sidey: said Dan's Dan. Dan's not very well.

So we're gonna try and rattle through this while Dan's still

Dan: Yeah. 'cause I have jumpers and

Sidey: Yeah. Full. You're fully tracked.

Dan: [00:02:00] even Willy socks. And I still feel cold.

Cris: in your, in your, this is your week as well.

Dan: Yeah, I'm, I'm not winding you up. This is a, a genuine thing.

Sidey: Should we just get into it then?

Just go straight to the top five and forget all the chit chat.

Dan: Whoa, chitchat.

Sidey: Do you want? Yeah, it's up to you. You are, you are the, you're the, you're the one who str struggle hot.

Cris: What did you watch? Come

Dan: Oh, hang in there. I, what I didn't watch was the episode of Murder Bot

Sidey: I didn't watch loads of stuff.

Dan: But it's there, you know, when you wait for it all week and then actually it didn't get round.

So that's waiting for me. I'll look forward to watching that when I've got more energy and, and feel it. The, the time's

Cris: you watch all of them that are out until

Dan: Yeah. and it

Sidey: one a week. It's a, it's a one.

Dan: That's it. It's

Cris: yeah.

Dan: drip feeding.

Hate

Cris: that. So how many are they out until now? I

Dan: I think this is the seventh or the eighth.

Cris: Alright, so that's okay.

You've invested yourself

Dan: you invested yourself in Yeah, it's getting towards the, the penultimate and ultimate episodes. And I've quite enjoyed it. I finished the unicorn the, [00:03:00] remember I told you about that unicorn, the tie thing? The Bad Unicorn, mad Unicorn really enjoyed that actually, although I can't remember its name properly.

And and I was just mainly making like a belt of watches this week, but it was just a waste of time.

Sidey: What about you, Christian?

Cris: I've watched I think if I'm remembering this correctly, the only thing that I watched this week was Electric State.

Reegs: Oh, I started watching that and I turned it off

Cris: is

a film with Chris Pratt and

Reegs: Millie Bobby

Sidey: Borough Brown. Yeah. That was that. It's a Ruso Brothers,

Reegs: Mm.

Sidey: It is cost about five gajillion pounds to

Reegs: million bajillions.

Cris: I will say that, in my opinion, they are trying and, and look, I've not read reviews. I don't care. I, I watched the whole thing front to bottom. And if that's an expression, I'm, I've just said it, so it is

Sidey: is now. Yeah.

Cris: it's a trademark. And it's

Reegs: that's how you wipe, isn't it? Front?

Cris: No, [00:04:00] the other way

Reegs: Oh, right.

Sorry.

Cris: Top to bottom. But it's, I I think it's a copy of, or they, they're trying to do Guardians of the Galaxy, but in a different way with a slightly

Sidey: but even with one of the guys from, yeah.

Cris: because the, the, and, and in my defense, I'm not a critic by any means, but they're trying to do exactly the same thing.

When there's a, when there's a bit of a moment, they'll play a tune that you know of or a,

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It,

Cris: it, it is exactly the same style of, of, of filming, of space.

it's kind of,

It's kind of,

or it might be because I've seen that this looks pretty much the same, but, and, and

Sidey: again, that's kind of, Netflix's mo though, isn't

Dan: Which we, we've got a dog in here

Sidey: today, Bailey.

Yeah. Bailey's

Dan: Rolex actually his name? He's a watchdog.

Cris: Okay. Anyway, so I watched that and it's not terrible, but it's not great either, and it's quite long. So, I dunno. All in all it was, it was, it was all right. [00:05:00] I, the, the music is good in it and it's songs that I've heard of, so at least if that makes any sense.

But and, and I like Chris Pratt. I actually quite like him. Yeah. He, he likes the UFC and I watch the UFC because on Saturday, on Sunday morning, I walk, I woke up really early because the cat jumped on me and I watched the Coleman event and the main event. So if that counts for anything, the UFC was good.

It

Sidey: you watch, did you watch Paul versus fucking whatever his name is in the boxing? No. Fucking you

Dan: has he fought again?

no, That was the,

Cris: not much of a fight, but no, I'm not watching that. That's not, I wouldn't, and look, I, I, I'll pay for the UFC because I'm subscribed to the UFC as it is. I, I wouldn't, that's on pay-per-view.

Yeah. Jake paused on pay-per-view. Why would I wanna pay for that

Sidey: fucking

Reegs: So you can buy him another fucking Lamborghini.

Cris: No, no, thank you.

money, so, Yeah. Well, did you watch anything? Uh uh, Sady?

Sidey: I don't think I did actually. Mostly like the YouTube stuff that I enjoy. I watched all that. I watched lots.

Yeah. Lots of Christopher collects. Yeah. Yeah.

Dan: Okay. Yeah, it comes up in my feed now and I [00:06:00] haven't, I haven't gone into it, but it's, I've been hovering,

Sidey: I'm,

like on the cusp of starting to become a coin collector.

Reegs: okay.

Dan: Okay. Well

there, there was a, a clock book that I was gonna get, but well, you know, it was about time

Sidey: in the, in the Coin collector one, he gets he, he'll, he has a business account, so he's able to go to Santander as his bank and he buys say two 50 pounds or 50 Ps and he, we'll see them on screen.

Reegs: Yeah, we watched some last week, it was great

Sidey: and blah, blah, blah. And. He does that. And so occasionally he'll get a ballywick of Jersey coin.

Reegs: Does he get excited

Sidey: it? Yeah. And he, and when he finds a coin that's like slightly unusual, it will come up on the screen and say how much that is worth. And the Jersey, 50 Ps are worth one pound, 50 to two pounds.

It's like, why don't I just get all my salary

Reegs: In the

Sidey: converted to 50 fees, go over to England and fucking flog the lot. Yeah's

Dan: To this guy. Yeah.

Sidey: So there's that.

Reegs: flood the market,

Sidey: but I didn't watch

Reegs: it. Downside,

Sidey: Yeah. [00:07:00] I

Dan: hours are

Sidey: though.

Dan: though.

isn't it?

Sidey: I can't remember. Oh, there was Glastonbury on. So I watched a bit of Glasgow. There wasn't that much good stuff at Glasgow.

I thought the light was fucking bollocks, to be honest. But there were the occasional good band, so that took up Friday night. So, Saturday night, I was just a, was tired really. So I went to bed really early and so Sunday was homework day, so that was it really for me. Alright.

Reegs: I have seen hypnotic, which if you've put on Amazon Prime recently will be in

Sidey: Thrust upon

Reegs: Yeah. To watch. It's Ben Affleck in a sort of subpar inception style. Yeah. Well, if you like, a kind of very average five out of 10 movie with subpar like inception style styles like plotting and, and visuals and what's his name?

Ben Affleck with a perpetually confused expression on his face. You'll be in for this and I was

Sidey: Anyone else? I'm sold. Anyone else that we know in it?

Cool.

Cris: Is that the one with Anna Darma?

Reegs: No, it's got the [00:08:00] girl,

Cris: something today on

Reegs: It's got Jackie l Haley

Sidey: Oh, not him

Reegs: yeah. And William Fish Ner as the sort of like bad guy who can make you do stuff just by him talking to you.

Sidey: Oh,

okay.

Yeah.

That's a good power to have.

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: Should we crack up with our top five? What?

Dan: Yeah.

Just to tell you that I was I used to work in a in a watch company. Yeah. I got fired even after all the extra hours I put in. Um, It was, it was pretty bad.

Sidey: Top five watches. I'm gonna hazard a guess. I dunno though, that there could be some quite good Cassio content.

Reegs: yeah. We should explain. Dan has gone crazy for Casios in the last few months, haven't you? You've gone Casio

Cris: since his trip to Japan. Really?

Sidey: Yeah. That was the, was that the, the Genesis, was

Cris: it April?

Sidey: Was that the

Dan: No, I would say, yeah, it was, it was that I, I went out to Japan to buy a, a cheap tacky gold watch.

Or I was just looking out for one. Really? It wasn't [00:09:00] even that that bothered, but the last couple of days, no, it's, it was for the, the snake bite trip. I thought snake bite is going to don a gold cassio, isn't it? And then when I found the, the A BL Weg 100,

Reegs: you know, you can get 'em in King Street. You don't have to go to Japan to

Dan: It's not the same, but

Reegs: it's not the same,

Dan: Exactly. You are probably looking at something like

Reegs: the F 91,

Dan: the A 1 5 9 wg, EA but I had the 100 wagon, it's Bluetooth and I start as you know, that I was showing it off. I was actually like, well proud of it and thought, this

Sidey: we put a photo just a completely unpro unprompted photo on Discord and Breacher came back and put Great Cassio.

Reegs: Yeah. Yeah. And that was pre

Dan: that was pretty Appreciate that. Appreciate that. And it, it is. So, Chris has got a lovely,

Sidey: well, Chris turned up today and announced that he had fallen well, basically you fell asleep, didn't you?

In the sun and your watch broke. And Dan's like, don't worry, I've got you. I just came down with a box fresh,

Cris: yeah. Fresh box.

Sidey: completely. Here you [00:10:00] go. Here's a Cass.

Cris: have a Cassio, what is it

Reegs: You've

got the F

Dan: the F 91 W isn't it? And w

Cris: There you have it.

Dan: probably the most popular watch in the world.

Reegs: I've got a few films that it features in

Dan: well, can we start off with that then? Cool man. Well, is it Gatten Matter Razzo in Stranger Things? I probably butchered his name, but he has a Cassio F 91

Sidey: Gaden? Matzo,

Dan: Yeah. And it's that retro feel because if you've ever seen one of those ones, it's got like a blue trim with a little bit of red on it. It's a

Sidey: is it the one that's got the shit light?

Dan: It's got the shit light, it's got a really shit green light. But they're pretty much indestructible. They're used from Obama to Osama.

At one point the CIA was actually had these watches on a lookout list for people coming through airports after nine 11 because so many of the nine 11 terrorists in the

Sidey: but then that's a nonsense because if it's so popular Yeah.

You get, you, you

Dan: well it was part of the

Sidey: 200 passengers off a jumbo and you [00:11:00] know, 15% of them might be wearing one of

Dan: Yeah.

And it was part of the profiling. And I imagine they, that's

Sidey: different kind of profilings, not the fucking of watches

Dan: you know, they, they probably, you know, used every tool to their advantage. But this was one, and it's because they're so reliable. And other people from the American side and the Alli side, if you, if you call it that, is also carpets, all LA carpets.

Also use 'em because they're cheap, reliable, and pretty much instructible that one.

Sidey: oh, that one. And that was very expensive for

Dan: That, that was, that was hugely expensive from the Cassio shop, Yeah. You can register the, your your insurance. Okay. What you got for his res stand on Cassio?

Reegs: Well, I've got a Gordy Gold Rolex. Oh. I've got a collection of them. You know the type

Cris: you?

Reegs: no. But you know the type of person that wears a very garish gold Rolex and the characters are based him.

Steve Carrell in the Big Short had won a Rolex Submariner. But that was the ceramic one that was introduced in 2010 and the film was set in 2008, which yeah. Big boo for that. Adam Sandler in Uncut [00:12:00] Gems has a Rolex Day date with a blood red dial fitted in with his, like really over the top character in his jumpsuits and all that.

Glen Garry Glen Ross is a Rolex that he's talking about there. I made $970,000 last year. How much did you make? Not as much

Cris: well, you got that promotion a couple of months ago, so

Dan: it must be getting close.

Reegs: Oh. And also American Psycho. But he used a Rolex date, just reference 1 6 0 1 3 with the Jubilee bra bracelet and tapestry dial.

But Rolex didn't want him to

Dan: No, that's right. He had a SEKO on

Sidey: absolute scenes when

Reegs: he was fighting.

Dan: Yeah, well they, they actually changed it to a, a seko fives, WXJ nine. Oh. No because

Reegs: that's like ruined one of my jokes now as well.

Dan: well. Well, Rolex didn't want to be associated with American Psycho, so they pulled it.

Reegs: Yeah. Any of the

Dan: in the book it is Rolex.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: [00:13:00] Okay. Really?

Cris: It was, the joke

Reegs: It is said, the list of films and actors that sound a bit watchy or timey. It was gonna be American Seko was gonna be the one

Dan: Oh,

Sidey: Oh, that's good

Reegs: Yeah, I know. But there's there's some other ones that are

Sidey: let's do it when we come back around. You shall we?

Cris: Yeah, yeah. I, I wanna

Dan: risk assured you'll have some more.

Sidey: James Bond has a storied watch story. Do you wanna know the list of every single watch that every single James

Bond has bought all

Dan: all am

Reegs: from the beginning to the end.

Sidey: wrong.

wrong fact. Scene Connery from 1962 to 71. Dr. No From Russia with Love and Goldfinger, he wore a Rolex Submariner reference 6 5 38

Reegs: Oh, that's the same one that Steve Carrell was wearing. Yeah.

Sidey: Thunderball was a brightling. I hate Brightling. I is it Breitling? Breitling. I, I hate those watches. Don't do it to me. Top time it's a shit name as well. And, and you only have twice diamonds of forever. It was a gr five 10 precision. I don't even know that brand.

George Lazenby obviously only did one that was a [00:14:00] Rolex Submariner ref. 5 5 1 3 is a pre pre Daytona. I don't know what that means, but it's a,

Reegs: It was before Daytona.

Sidey: Yeah. Roger Moore right. This is Hammers Pete into the ground because this is where it goes shi Right. Living it die. A Hamilton Pulsar and, and a Rolex Submariner.

Rare 5 5 1 3. So that's the same as it's a

Reegs: is a nice watch though.

Sidey: Mam of the Golden Garden. Rolex Sub Mariner, the Spy Who Loved Me, A seko, right? SEKO oh 6 7 4 lc and a Rolex, GMT Master Marine Reko 19 7 9 A SEKO again, but it was the m 3 54 Memory Bank. calendar. Calendar. One

Cris: a timeless

Sidey: your eyes only.

SEKO 76 4 9 7 double zero nine, and a SEKO H 53 0 display. Octopussy, the SEKO TV watch. And I do believe in that one. He also had a SEKO world clock, which is the one I wore on my stag.

Dan: Yeah. Well that's, that's an, that's a nice one I think.

Who was it that had that also? [00:15:00] Kevin Hart in Jumanji.

Sidey: Okay, nice. Seko diver ref.

That was individual. Kill loads of those and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you get onto to Daniel Craig and this is where the list goes. Fucking nuclear. Yeah. Totally. This is where a omega, because it's Right. Obviously all product placement. Right. And they really got their clothes. Actually, Pierce P had one that he was able to remote control his car buy in one of

Reegs: Well, lasers and stuff as well. There

Sidey: There's been magnets and lasers and blah, blah, blah. But Daniel Craig was really just about the watch. Yeah. And it's Omega lots of speed Masters. Casino Rail was a Speedmaster 300 m coaxial planet Ref. Quantum SOS was a Speedmaster Planet Ocean 600 m Coaxial blah blah, blah, blah.

But then he carried on. So he was a brand ambassador and he lucky motherfucker that he is, 'cause I like watches he got to wear. pre advanced, like he, he'll turn up to events and he'll be wearing watch and watch Nudge on the internet. Like Daniel Craig was wearing the something that we've never fucking seen before.

So he, the unofficial [00:16:00] previewer of Omega's hottest start playing watches. Got picture November. I, well there are on the internet. November 22, 3. He wore the then unreleased Omega speed master moon watch professional to the Planet Omega event. He then pulled a similar stunt at the Summer Olympics in Paris.

He showed up at the behest of Omega who were the official timekeepers of the games. Wearing an a mysterious Seamaster diver 300 m with a black dial embezzle, a domed crystal. We domed crystal later. A no date black dial with old school waves and a mesh bracelet. The internet went fucking wild.

Reegs: yeah, they would do.

Sidey: And then he did it again at the 15th Annual Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science Governor's Awards which was a similar one to the one he wore the last time. But this time it was in gold and everyone was like, oh my God, now it's in fucking golden. No one can fucking buy it. So all that shit.

So loads of James Bond watch

Dan: Yeah. That's quite an exciting, isn't

Sidey: I like it 'cause I'm an Omega guy.

Dan: Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. You like the

Sidey: I like Omegas. Yeah.

Dan: Well, I think as you know, I'm, I like [00:17:00] a Rolex. And the, the classic glass that's domed you can't really get anymore.

If you can find some, give us a shout. Otherwise Casios are just a fantastic day watch. They're just, you know, pretty much indestructible.

Sidey: Let's see what Chris has to say.

Cris: Well, I don't have any watch content because I knew there's gonna be a lot of watch

Dan: Mm.

Cris: And I have a film called Watcher,

which I

believe you watched.

Reegs: Mm, yes.

Cris: And it's it's set in Buret.

Reegs: It is

Sidey: Oh, nice. We've been

Reegs: Yeah. With a spooky neighbor. And yeah, that's a bit gaslight and all sorts of stuff going on. That was quite good. I enjoyed that.

Cris: Mike, common Row, Carl g Gman and some other burn goman and all that. 2022, it was, I think it was in, on Netflix at some

Reegs: point.

Yeah. Yeah.

Cris: And it's got the word watch in it, so

Sidey: so It does.

Sure it does.

Cris: I'm not gonna bore you to death

Sidey: To be clear, the, the instruction was just top five watches. It did not say time pieces.

Reegs: It didn't No, I I'm sure that

Sidey: Yeah. So you can do whatever you just watch

No, that's, that's what I mean. That's exactly what I'm saying. [00:18:00] It didn't say it had to be watched.

It just said

Cris: because I knew there's gonna be, I, I don't, I

Reegs: yeah.

Cris: a,

I have a few watches at home and I have a, a nice

Reegs: watch. Well, I've got a few on the, the same light bay watch.

Sidey: that's nice.

I didn't even think of that. Yes,

Cris: That

Reegs: with the rock

solid. And

we did that for the pod, didn't we?

We enjoyed that.

Dan: Well, we're normally so strict, aren't we? But let's just let it go. It, it's time. We, we won't second guess it. You know, it, it's we'll, we'll, we'll just do the, the, the timing's right. For all of these film wise. I, I think we can't go through this and you mentioned time piece and I'm thinking of a world War I time piece that was smuggled and this watch was taken at my ass as Christopher Kin explained to a young butch Coolidge in Pulp

Reegs: well, first his father hid it up his ass for for

Sidey: prisoner. Yeah. Prisoner war.

Dan: prisoner

Sidey: He'd be damned, he'd be damned if he, I'm not gonna say rest that line. Yeah.

Dan: And that was just a, a [00:19:00] really iconic part of the film and a really memorable scene. That mentions watches and just quite how much it meant to Butch as well. 'cause

Sidey: was a huge quad device. Yeah.

Dan: Yeah. He, he meant everything that when his girlfriend had forgotten the watch he went back to risk everything.

And from that Zed came out and and actually it turned out good for him because he was able to live a life without being chased. But,

Sidey: He tells the story and then it's the bell, isn't it, of the fight.

He comes bolt upright off the, off the sort. Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: Yeah. It's a fantastic scene of a, of a strong film. G Shocks have been featured in, in quite a lot.

 Chris Hemsworth had a a w 9,400 arrangement in extraction.

Reegs: Okay.

Dan: Okay. It, it was a pretty

Sidey: Have you got a g shot? A cashier?

Dan: I used to have a G shock, but I no longer Ooh, well,

Reegs: will Ter wears one in warfare, which is,

Sidey: not seen that yet. It's on Prime at the moment, isn't it? That's getting thrust upon me all the

Reegs: Yeah. That's quite intense.

Dan: The, the G 700 [00:20:00] one BER is in Jurassic world as well for

Sidey: I've got a g

Reegs: well Walter Soche wears the GBD 200 dash one.

Wow,

Sidey: Oof. that's hot.

Dan: That's a

good watch. Yeah,

Sidey: I've got a GShock and one of the hands on it in one of the dials is off-center. And I cannot, I think it's supposed to be like that. And it really like annoys the, the symmetry out of me. I'm like, no, it shouldn't be like that. It should be pointing at the top.

Dan: Well, I mean, if they're both pointing down at six 30, that's the best time. Hands down,

Reegs: Very good. Some actors who sound like watches Matthew McCroy or Sean Croy, I wasn't sure about that one. Allison Ford time Hanks Patek. Patek Philippe Seymour Hoffman tickle his cage and Arnold Segger.

Dan: Well that's a, that's a nice, I like that you mentioned Matt McConaughy because he, in the film Gold wore a a gold, a 1 [00:21:00] 59 WGEA Casio.

Which is, which is the, the

Sidey: the Weg?

Dan: The Weg is Bluetooth, though, you know, it's gone up, it's gone up in technology, but it is basically the same watch with a few more features.

Sidey: wears the Hamilton Carkey Field. Murph

Reegs: Yes. In

Sidey: which is a plot is like a key plot device's,

Reegs: plot point.

The, the watch. Yeah.

Yeah.

Sidey: like communicating with his daughter. Yeah.

How about I was gonna do a whole trope about people synchronizing their watches and films,

Reegs: Oh, that's good

Sidey: to list them out. There's just a lot of sequences of people, you know, doing a

Reegs: synchronize your watches. Yeah.

Sidey: highest or the other side of the being, the, you know, the army or whatever, synchronizing before a battle or something like

Reegs: Oh, that is

Cris: That was

Sidey: good. That was good. More bond stuff. But this guy from video games, the actual pause button and the menu screen from goldeneye on the N 64 when you press button, was him doing that with his watch and then the screen became the dial of his watch. I think it was based on a Rolex. It was [00:22:00] in part.

And then the thing of where in sci-fi films where they have a display on their wrist where they press it and it's actually a holographic display. Yes. You have one of those in Fallout, I think the PIP thing, and I think you probably get something in Star Wars at some

Reegs: the Predators thing is basically a

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. Lela from Futurama, that thing's basically a

Sidey: There's been loads of,

Reegs: the difference between watch and phone is like small now,

Sidey: Yeah. Lots of new predator content recently.

Reegs: Yeah. It's supposed to be a good killer of killers or

Sidey: called. Yeah. Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. Yeah.

Dan: The cartoon one. Yeah.

Sidey: The, an animated. Yeah.

Cris: Yeah. The one that I, well now when you said it was synchronized do you remember when we did that Samuel Jackson, CCHI and Timberlake

Reegs: Black Snake Moon?

Cris: Yes. And CCHI and Timberlake had a, oh

Reegs: Oh

yeah.

Cris: the thing when they would beep whenever

Sidey: That's right. They, they remember each other.

Cris: yeah.

Reegs: They also had F 90 ones as well. The very watch that you've got

Cris: Yeah. And she remembered definitely all the

Sidey: time. Yeah,

Cris: she clearly kept him in mind. But I have another film in mind, which doesn't, [00:23:00] I can't really remember the actual watch, but it's a classic, it's a great film and it's a film that features method Man and Red Man, and it's called How High.

Okay.

Reegs: Okay. Yeah, I've seen

Cris: They are two guys from the hood that go to Harvard. They get really high and their whole salute whenever they meet each other is instead of shaking hands, they slap the hand inside, outside, look at my watch.

Reegs: Okay.

Sidey: Okay, nice.

Cris: they do. Ha ha. Look at my watch.

so

it's got the word watch and it's in a, in a cult classic.

And I really liked it because it was a stoner movie

Reegs: yeah, it's a good one.

Cris: they smoke weed and, and they have Benjamin Franklin at some point coming out. And,

Reegs: Oh, I've definitely seen that.

I can't remember an awful lot about it,

Cris: It's it's good. It's, it's fantastic. Yeah.

Reegs: Nice

Cris: yeah, that

Reegs: Daniel.

Dan: Well I get close to my choices really. There is that brilliant film. 1159. 59 oh, second to noon. A really good one. But I, I think you know, [00:24:00] obviously I, I have been alarmed by quite how much fun digital Casios are.

And I should probably choose a Casio Marty McFly had the classic, classic ca 53 wf, calculate Watch in. Yeah. In

Sidey: one on the day. Yeah.

Dan: Future. And, and Norm's teased us with photographs of his own. Yeah. And I think that's one that I probably put forward, but let's see what you've got.

Is

Reegs: is

that your pick or is that where we are at, or,

Dan: I, I, it is where I'm at. It's my picket maybe.

Reegs: right. Okay.

Dan: knows?

see

Reegs: well I did wanna mention the Omega Speed Master in Apollo 13, just because that was. A true story and the guy genuinely did use that watch to time, a 14 second maneuver that proved critical in returning that spacecraft to earth. So that's a pretty good watch. An honorary mention for Stranger than Fiction Will Ferrell.

The plot of that movie is about a guy who finds that his life is being written essentially by Emma Thompson. And spoiler alert, she changes it because the character, the main character dies. That's something [00:25:00] that, you know, throughout the whole movie, she changes it. That it's a mobile phone. It

Sidey: from ah,

Reegs: point of view sorry, from a watch, it comes from the point of view of a watch and I am going to go for my nomination is the first ever.

It's a Belova watch. It's not a brand I'm familiar with, but it was the first ever commercial television advertisement was for a watch Be Over Watch in 1941 in the United States was the first ever, it was a ten second commercial for Belova

Sidey: Nice. Steve McQueen.

big big watch guy. Yeah. Yeah. And he had many, but he was in a film called Lamar.

Dan: Lamar. Yeah. And

Sidey: then there was the tags that were very, then they still could still make 'em. And you can get the ones now with the actual color, the, the proper color of the time. I had a black and silver one when I first started working.

And I was, it just my money, my salary was suspending money 'cause I lived at home. And I went and bought. One a, a variation of it, it nice [00:26:00] watch. It's, it's a tag. You know, it's not the best watch in the world, but they're

Dan: they're, they're

Sidey: Good. And years later it fucking went missing. And I don't fucking lose stuff like that.

So I, I'm not really sure what happened to it. I

Dan: was your mates with Riggs then?

Sidey: Yeah, I

Reegs: I was gonna say I've got collection of

Dan: yeah.

Sidey: I didn't have it itemized on the insurance either, so I didn't get the money back for it, not, not what it was worth anyway. So that was annoying. But my, I'm nominating Antics Roadshow. There's a fellow he is a veteran in the US military.

Dan: he buy this in Malaysia or

Sidey: in Malaysia? He's a, he is a crust. He's a, he is a bit of a hippie, but he was involved in

ordinance

and going and, and going through the minefields and doing all that sort of stuff. And when he was deployed, I think in Vietnam his buddy had said to him, you need to go and get yourself a watch while out there.

So he'd gone and he'd got this Rolex. And it just so happened that the one that he had bought was a rare, watch face. And it was called the Panda I think, 'cause it's white with black dials or something like that. And it was a Steve McQueen variation. And anyway, he'd worn it a couple of times and then he is like, it's too nice, I'm just gonna bash it.

So he put it in a safety deposit once he'd been there [00:27:00] for 40, 50 years or something like that. And he'd taken it out to take Antis road show and the guy had nearly had a fucking heart attack when

Dan: I remember seeing

Sidey: He's like, you can watch it on YouTube. It's really, really good. And he is explaining how it could, and he is got everything in the receipt, all the fucking documentation, the warranty, everything's like immaculate.

And he is like, this watch, this watch would be worth quarter of a million. And the guy falls over, you know, a bit like pantomime, but he is like, oh my God, it's low. He is like, but this watch in the condition, in the rarity, in the particular coloration that you've got it and the Steve McQueen variation, you're talking more like 750 and it's like, fucking hell.

Dan: Well, Marlon

Sidey: there's, there's actually one, there's actually one up for auction this week that with an estimate 950

Dan: Well, Marlon Brando wore his own watch in where he played, oh, where's the film gone?

Where he plays the mad, the mad general apocalypse.

Reegs: were all Rolexes, weren't

Dan: and yeah, he wore his own Rolex, which got sold for auction for around $2 million. Obviously you got the Brando connection there. Yeah. But that was [00:28:00] his own watch.

Reegs: But it was also the same watch that Marines used to wear in apparently.

Dan: Well, they used to do deals with the armies. They used to give discount, which is how my dad got his former mate.

Sidey: That's this guy. It's just like, I think he paid one month salary for this. What? You know, it's decent. We'd you cash, but when you're living in barracks and whatever, you could do that.

Dan: yeah, you got the

Sidey: there's videos of, there's the separately, there's videos of Robert, Danny Jr. Going, this is my what?

Collect, you know, with GQ Magazine, you can see it on YouTube. You go, this is my what? And I'm just like, that's his boring, you are like a super, super wealthy guy. Yeah. You can just buy whatever what you want. This, this is different. This is some guy who's safe. Got it. He's kept it safe. It's his only, what?

You know, it's just like special. Yours is just. Some rich guy shit. It's not that, it's not that

Dan: one of many.

Sidey: Yeah. What about you, Chris?

Cris: I've, I've got two in one for a film called Watchman.

Because it's watch.

Sidey: Yeah, I've got it. I was gonna, I

Cris: Watchman and also Dr. Manhattan's dad was a watchmaker and the watch kind of

Reegs: Oh, very good, Chris. Yeah.

Cris: It kind of comes through as [00:29:00] the, the clock of time

Sidey: or his,

Reegs: time is a huge Yeah. Part of the

Sidey: his sort of power. He sees all time simultaneously

Cris: And, and he, and he doesn't understand the concept of time either in, in terms of what we

Reegs: it's irrelevant to him. 'cause, cause and effect doesn't mean anything to

Cris: Exactly. So, and, and also he goes on Mars, I think

Sidey: he, he kind of narrates, he kind of narrates his part of the story by saying it's 1962 and then like simultaneously it's 1984 and all these different things that he's just living it all at the same

Cris: Yeah. And he is got a giant massive blue cock

Sidey: as well.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Cris: again, that's just not necessarily time related or

Sidey: Well, he can do a, he can do a sundal trick.

Cris: Yes. He can do the Yeah, the whole thing Anyway, that I can take that because he's watching the movie name and also the whole kind of situation.

And the norm I have is this guy has been quite controversial in, in, throughout his life. He's dead now, unfortunately. He's got a stadium named after him. He's a global icon and he was in movies made after him.

Dan: [00:30:00] I'm going. Yeah.

Cris: And he famously wore two hub blows bla.

Reegs: that's my least favorite brand of luxury watch.

I

Cris: don't really care about watches, so I don't really

Reegs: no, no, it's

Cris: But I was and I still am a great fan of Diego Mano Maradona, the great Ellp Bado. And also Ronaldo Nazario, the original Ronaldo tells a nice story about Maradona, the, it's a fable because his real reason why he wore the watches was because they were presents from his daughters and he wore both of them one on Argentian time to always remember him the time in Argentina and the other one to be on local time wherever he traveled.

So that's how he kept the time. But Ronaldo Nazario has a funny story that he met Diego Mano Maradona in Rio or somewhere, and he asked him, why do you wear these watches? He's like, well, I need to know the time in Argentina and this one, this is party time. And

Sidey: when he would land back in Italy, all the police and everyone that would be waiting there to, [00:31:00] because he had so many like tax things, whatever, all the police would have new Rolexes from Mafia would like.

No, you let him land and come through. It's no, no bother. Yeah,

Cris: Right. Don't, don't. So, so,

Sidey: of Rolexes flying

Cris: so for me, that's the I know he is not necessarily a guy. He's been in a lot of films, mostly about himself, documentaries and, and other films. But that would be my norm.

El Pido.

Reegs: And then we just need one from the

Sidey: one from everyone else.

Reegs: one for the road.

Dan: Okay, well I'm gonna sit with my Mike Mi fly.

No, I'm not. I'm gonna go for I'm gonna go for the, the gold film, the gold theme. And it's gonna be Matti McConaughy with his

A

Cris: Oh, I like that

Dan: 9 because it is so close to the the wag,

Which

I have.

Reegs: Yeah,

Sidey: Wake for life.

Cris: Nice.

Sidey: Nanas yes,

Reegs: Yes.

Sidey: we should say that Dan has succumbed to possibly heat stroke or something. Yeah. But he's not very well anyway. He's definitely heat stroke and, and he has gone to his bed. Yeah. Yeah.

Reegs: well soon, Daniel.

Sidey: yeah. But this was his nomination. It's nana's, it's one of those Netflix things. I had seen it pop up and I [00:32:00] Put off by the the concept of it, but

Reegs: it's inspired by the life of Jody Scaravella. Yeah.

Sidey: Yeah. It's just a real thing.

And I, I saw Vince v on the poster and that's what put me off. I'm like, I like Vince Vaughn to be a bit more of a, like, laddie kind of bad boy thing. 'cause he's good at that. Really loves swingers and that's like where I always visualize him.

Yeah. And in this, he is playing well, we get to know in the film that he's he's lost his mother. And that's the, the driving force of the, of the film. But the poster art. And it tells you he's a guy he's grieving, he's gonna set up this restaurant and he is gonna, it is gonna be cooked by these Italian, everyone in Italian Wangs about there.

Cooking by the nuns, their grandmothers Yeah. This sort of thing, this ritual that happens weekly family style cooking and everyone,

Cris: and yeah.

And you start with him as a kid

Sidey: passed down through generations and

Cris: I'm still surprised that I call it gravy.

Sidey: Yeah. Right. We're going to that.

But that as a concept put me off watching this, but I've watched it because Dan nominated it. Yeah. [00:33:00] And I didn't know that it was gonna have Susan Saren and Loraine Bracco and all these other people in it. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that, but yes, it does, it does. Open up with a sort of flashback

sequence of him as a, a very young boy.

And he's been sent to a bakery or, or a Italian deli or something. Yeah. To pick up some bread and some other bits,

Reegs: cannolis and the camera kind of, it's very hazy. See Pones and the camera like lingers over the counter and shows you all the delicious stuff. It's food. Pour this. I had a hangover whilst watching it and it was like a bit about

Sidey: I didn't realize they're sent to the donuts.

Reegs: Yeah. A lot of baked pastries and

Cris: Yeah, but that's, that's, that's American Italians.

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's

Cris: where,

Sidey: where, yeah. 'cause this is not, this is obviously in Staten Island.

Cris: Yeah. You think Nonnas, I thought, right.

This is gonna

Reegs: Oh, but they, but their mothers were all born in, they're

Sidey: one generation

Reegs: one generation

away.

Cris: I know. But

Sidey: but it's still a bit of American. Anyway he, he munches a few sweet treats on the [00:34:00] way home, and he gets to sort of clip round. It's sort of lovingly like, oh, you've done it again. He

Reegs: He watches his mom cook the

Sidey: He goes to leave, doesn't he? He goes to leave and he'd be, can't, he's, he's really into like, their cooking.

Reegs: Mm.

He sees how happy everybody is, the community aspect of it,

And

Sidey: mum, nudges the nana and says, oh ladies, she's, oh, do you wanna try the gravy? And I was like, gravy. That's why you're having a fucking roast beef.

Reegs: Yeah. They just mean sauce,

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Reegs: So they have the gravy and you know, he loves that. And then I, there's a big party and all that and it's

Sidey: it's important the gravy, isn't it? It's important.

Reegs: Yeah.

He

Sidey: He's having a great time. He's there. There's a whole thing going on. Everyone's like kissing him on the cheek

Reegs: Yeah, it's really lovely.

Sidey: They take a photo of the nana and his mother and then that fades into the photograph itself and that fades into the wake for his mom. She has just passed and he is crest fallen at the loss of his

Reegs: yeah. Like you say, we're at the wake and afterwards Drea, DeMaio Stella, his sister, I think it was, [00:35:00] wasn't it?

Yeah. From, there's a lot of Sopranos ex Sopranos actors in this. She's one of them. You need to feed your grief. She says to him,

Sidey: she had an OnlyFans, didn't she?

Reegs: Then she adds it. It's got 18 cloves of garlic in. Are you supposed to, like, is that a good thing or a bad thing? The camera just lingers is quite a good little joke.

Sidey: Yeah. She hadn't known any fans after Soprano. Yeah. Yeah. It's had just had to do it

Reegs: making an unrelated note on my phone here.

Sidey: Yeah. And he's got we've seen in the flashback sequence this car, and we've seen his.

brother-in-law.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: His,

Reegs: it was also his childhood friend,

Sidey: His, his brother-in-law's dad saying was made Right. Get down and clean it some more. You missed a bit. Yeah. And then later on now, when we see him in real time in the, in the present day, his, his brother-in-law now owns this car.

It's a real, it looks still looks exactly the same, totally immaculate.

Reegs: It's Joe Manganello as well. Yeah. Bruno, is that the

Cris: Bruno. Bruno is his

Sidey: Fucking buff.

Reegs: Yeah. He's got keep himself trim.

He is married to Sophia Vagaro or

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: So, he goes to see [00:36:00] Lorraine b Braco playing Roberta as his mother's friend. She's in an assisted living facility. 'cause she wouldn't attend. She was just like, I think it's like just too much for her. She's known her for 60 years and she's quite a cantankerous

Sidey: she's super,

Reegs: woman as

Sidey: super argumentative. Impressive. Yeah. Yeah.

Reegs: And so anyway, in the wake of his mother's death, you know, people are starting to be worried about, he gets invited for dinner at Stella and

Cris: at his own's house. He, he's like, oh, we're having dinner on Sunday. And he actually asked, they come to his house. Yeah. And they're like, oh, we didn't expect you to cook for us, but

Reegs: And we see him cook actually in like very poignantly in the aftermath of his mother's death. We see him cooking a few recipes and things that he know he is trying to recreate that thing and that thing of being able to kind of connect with your family or ta you know, taste your

Cris: Is this when they bring him the letter?

They bring him the letter from his mom, right? yeah. Oh no. His the, the, the woman,

Reegs: Lorraine b Braco

Cris: Yeah. Yeah. She gives him

Reegs: yeah. So he doesn't care to open at this point. It's too raw for him 'cause his mother has literally just died and they come over and it's obviously [00:37:00] he's had, he's acquired some money $200,000 and they're urging him to kind of spend it,

Cris: Well, to find a girlfriend, pretty

Reegs: find a girlfriend, sort some debt out,

Cris: sell some debt or do something that you're

Reegs: or do something to

Sidey: Yeah. 'cause he works a kind of not dead end job. It's like a sort of constructiony

Cris: No. His mechanic for the buses,

Sidey: That's, and it is obviously

Reegs: an asshole.

Sidey: boss are, tune him out all the time. His obviously, his heart's not in it. It's a fucking like, shy job. Really? Yeah. And

Reegs: he's got a good community of friends there

Sidey: Yeah. He's got a good like network. But he doesn't like the work.

Reegs: And the boss is like, you know, he equates his mother's death to his cat's death and all that sort of stuff. And he's a bit like, oh, you've used up all your personal time off in your, in your grief.

So we're not supposed to like him at all. So anyway, it's after that thing. He goes to a market, doesn't he?

Cris: Staten Island.

Reegs: Island Market. Again, he's still trying to recreate the

Cris: after his mom passes, tries to make the food re recalls certain things that happened and certain episodes, and it is all to do with [00:38:00] food and stuff like that.

And he goes to this market and he bumps into the old woman trying to buy the, some Marzano Tomatoes. Yeah, tomatoes.

Reegs: Yeah. And the love interest. Who

Sidey: Cardini.

Reegs: Antonella? Linda

Cardinally.

Sidey: I've had the hearts of her for a long time,

Reegs: And they had an awkward encounter. He stitched her up at prom, didn't he? Yes.

Cris: Find out later.

Sidey: off and got pissed with his mates and just basically forgot to go back or missed the, the timing.

Got he, you know, he fucked it in the ear.

Reegs: Yeah. And she conspicuously wears a wedding ring. We'll find out later. Her husband has died of

Sidey: he doesn't know that, does

Reegs: doesn't know. He doesn't

Sidey: He just thinks, oh, he had a thing with her a long time ago, but she's happily married and then

Reegs: he feels a bit more embarrassed at seeing her. And like that prom story, he's still not really resolved it

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cris: He's like, oh, I've seen, I haven't seen you since prom. Mm. And you kind of think like, fuck Bit longer time, but whatever. And

Reegs: so

he as walking home after that encounter that he sees a restaurant for sale in Staten Island [00:39:00] and I think next he's talking about it with Stella and Bruno, like the conversation is whether it's a good idea to buy it and then they misunderstand.

No, he's already bought

Cris: Yeah. And then we understand Bruno's a contractor and he's like in construction and he's got all these,

Reegs: And actually Stella's into it when he explains, it's really about connecting back his idea because he's got a real clear vision for it straight away. It's all there born. He know he wants to bring back Italian culture, the food of grandmas who made, you know, such a big connection in his life through his Italians and through his family and all that stuff.

He wants to bring that, he wants to recreate that. He wants to be like an open house style kitchen, food, all cooked by nons. And generally people are supportive in his life and say, yeah, what a great, beautiful idea. Why don't you go and do

Sidey: They're actually super supportive and they don't necessarily tell him how supportive they are because his brother-in-law. Does the contracting work for it? Yeah. Builds it all up for him.

It looks great. It's all there ready to go. But there's all the hoops, all the admin hoops, as well as getting the, the nons in [00:40:00] there. We're gonna meet a crew of four. Yeah. We've got Lorraine Braco. She's in

Reegs: Yeah, she's a sort of prickly loner. There's Susan, Sarah Duns supposed to be the sexy one,

Sidey: She's the last to join.

Reegs: Yeah. And she's got her boobs out all the time. But we'll find out. There's actually a plot reason for that. And there's like a one who kind of walks in off the streets, it's seen a sign or

Cris: they put the sign on the list of Craig.

Reegs: The list of Craig. That's right.

Sidey: Who is this Craig?

Reegs: She used to be a nun.

Sidey: Why isn't he just put in an advert in the newspaper? I keep saying.

Reegs: And the other one is Brenda and when Roberta and Brenda, when they meet, sorry, Roberta and Antonella, when they meet, they just hate each other. They start spitting each other from one's from Bologna and one's from Sicily. There's are two areas that hate each

Cris: Yeah.

Sidey: I think that's quite common in, in Italy. You know,

Reegs: Oh, it was making me laugh. When they're spitting at each

Cris: Yeah, yeah,

Sidey: spitting and then they, they have

Cris: the north, you call them Africans. In Italy,

Sidey: they have a bit, have a proper food fight. And they're just like, we're gonna break this up.

Like, no, it's the Italian waves. Gotta let 'em fight it out.

Reegs: And in fact, but it is a [00:41:00] bit of a problem, isn't it?

'cause it's that the food fight

Cris: Yeah. There's Capella.

Reegs: Elle, Which is it's yeah. Sheep's head. It fucking looks disgusting. But she's talking about it from being from her family village and being part of her, my identity. Some big broad Italian stereotypes here. And in the fracas, over the capelle, there's a fire.

It

Yeah.

Sidey: the oven goes up, it catches fire up the wall. Not long after that. Well, Linda Carlina comes in and helps him clean it up and it all looks on the surface of it. Fine. But the inspector comes round the, the food safety kind of, whatever the fuck they're called.

Yeah. And he comes out the health inspector. Yeah. He comes out he does the inspection. They're waiting in the bar and he comes out and says, sorry, you failed and you failed twice. Your oven's fucked. And it's full of fucking genics, whatever the fuck he says. And also the fire

Cris: damaged the wall.

the

Sidey: brother that the wall, the brother-in-law's like looking at him like,

Reegs: what fire?

Sidey: And he is like the damaged, the integrity of the wall. And he is like, the integrity of the wall is fine. I fucking built it. He is like, no, no. 'cause he [00:42:00] just says the integrity of the wall first. Yeah. He like, there's nothing wrong with the wall. I built it, you know, my, my start built, it's fine. He is like, no, the fire has has damaged.

He's like, what fucking fire? Then

Cris: is like, oh, sheep's head caught on fire.

He's

Sidey: And immediately when the guy was saying it, I was thinking, well, they're just gonna bribe him shortly. They're just gonna bribe him. Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: And that's how they get round it. 'cause when he says, I went, okay, well, we'll sort it out.

When can we get you back to give us the certificate? Is it probably be about a year

Reegs: or next week?

He's like, nah, it's a year's.

Sidey: We, we will fully, we'll, fully booked. So it'd be about a year. You're like, oh, okay. Shit. That, that derails everything. And Talia Shira, who is the one who's been the nun does a prayer Yeah.

Asking for a miracle. And Linda Cardini, whose lawyer looks the guy up and realizes he's under suspicion for taking bribes. So they wheel him in and be like, listen, Dick Ed, and you're gonna fucking come

Cris: pass? Yeah. We'll give

Sidey: and he says, he says, just sort the two things out and you know, I'll give you a certificate.

So they,

Reegs: a very different experience this

time around

Sidey: they get rounded that way They don't have to bribe him. They just have to lean [00:43:00] on his,

Cris: they do have the, the, the whole known as before the grand opening have a big

Reegs: yeah, well they they need to sort their

Cris: team, team bonding.

Reegs: exactly. They need to sort their spirits out. They go for a team

Cris: lemon cello

Reegs: session, lemon

Sidey: funny. Li

Reegs: and

Sidey: one of these six waters, you can have one, one li cello. You've got six drinks of water

Cris: And you get to see probably the biggest cleavage of Susar run. And

Sidey: well she's famous for that right?

Reegs: but it's a sad story as well because she had a

Sidey: she had a double mastectomy. Yeah.

Reegs: So she's had a

Sidey: because she makes, she makes the Tanya Shira's one fi boobs. Yeah. The nun. Yeah.

Cris: And then

Sidey: and so they, they're both fake. And she's like, oh. And then she reveals because they're going around telling their stories and Lorraine reco, she doesn't talk to her kids.

And she said, it's really

Reegs: Oh, it's very

Sidey: She says, you know, I says, I've raised them to be tough kids to be, you know, 'cause they'd grown up probably at that time in a really tough neighborhood with all sorts of shit going on. And she's raised them to be tough, but the, the side effect of that is that they don't fucking talk anymore.

She says

Reegs: what? She said, I

Sidey: if I could go back and if I could be a different type of mother and raised differently than I absolutely would, [00:44:00] but they, oh

Reegs: man, it breaks your heart, you know, just speaking of a life of regrets and all that sort of stuff. And yeah, so Susan Sarin never settled down with,

Sidey: she's been quite promiscuous by sounds of it.

Reegs: it's just not for her.

Sidey: she prefers a married man, I

Reegs: Yeah, basically. And the the other one, the godly one, Talia Shire's

Sidey: she was a lesbian. She

Reegs: was a lesbian and it was, you know, not,

Sidey: not, not frowned upon. Yeah. She's imagine a life where you couldn't be yourself.

Reegs: Yeah. So, you know, very sad touching stories and women's stories as well.

Powerful women's stories as

Sidey: And Susan Strand gives them a, have a makeover. Not in a super cheesy way. They just all feel really good about themselves and they've, they've all connected. Not that they won't have a row again, but but they, they all feel really good. And then they march in next day it's supposed to be opening day.

So the restaurant is all geared up. Everything's looking great. The kitchen is ready to go. It's all stocked up. Everything's good. One problem is there were no customers.

Cris: Yeah.

And we do have the, the market guy,

Sidey: it's his

Cris: before that we, we have the market guy [00:45:00] where an Antonio buys the Sam Marzano tomatoes.

He says to him, to Vince Vaughn's character, he is like, look, that was my mate's restaurant. He was there for 50 years. They had to shut him down. You're not one of

Reegs: he thinks he's removing a part

Cris: you know, he is like, oh, you're not one of us. You're not, you know, this is, you changed the name. You're not, you're not from Staten Island, you're not from the community.

Why

Sidey: says it to one of the non, he says, he is not from round here. I, you know, we don't like him.

Cris: And, and even when he comes back and he gives him this, the flyer with the menu, he is like, yeah. And then he just, yeah. Just folds it and puts in the bin and, and we kind of see that. And then on the first night is only his mate.

Yeah. His his best mate from k from, and, and they're the only

Sidey: his brother-in-law's like, oh, right. So we got paid. Then he is like, yep.

And

then it's one of the nanas twigs I forget her name, but she goes down to the market then. And you just see her do like the classics of Italian nana to fucking wax him with his hand.

He is like, how Dave, you've been, you've been telling everyone not to come down. He is like, listen, this guy's not from round here. He is not [00:46:00] one of us fucking, I'm not supporting that. And he is actively been telling people not to go to the, to the

Reegs: doesn't have the support of the local

Cris: And

throughout the movie we see Vince Vaughn calculating, calculating, calculating,

Sidey: There's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot

Cris: sort out the books. You can see him on his laptop trying to see final notice, and then it's a final notice how much money is in the account.

This, he keeps sending emails to all the, these

Sidey: he sent to Linda Conlin, this is it. We are done. You know, we, we, we've, we've got nothing. I'm gonna sell the place and I'll give the money to my brother-in-law to pay him back for all the work and blah, blah.

But that's it.

Reegs: Oh. And also there's been a little bit of their love story.

She's talked about like not being able to let go of the grief, you know, which is obviously a big theme in this movie. Grief, the grief of her husband. And she's got a wedding ring. She still wears the wedding ring and you know,

people keep encouraging her to switch it to the other hand

Sidey: Yeah. But she's not ready.

Reegs: ready for love.

Yeah.

Sidey: I wonder if that appeal. There's, or they do, they do have a romantic connection there because he recreates prom, he wears a replica basically of the same prom suit that he had on. [00:47:00] Yeah. He, he sort of blindsides her by getting her in. He's, he's been lectured, basically been lectured, be given her life lesson by the non saying, don't miss this opportunity.

You gotta fucking like,

Cris: yeah, she likes you. Go.

Sidey: you. 'Cause he didn't, he didn't actually, to be fair, I didn't even know that she was a widower, you know, or a widow. Sorry. And so she, he gets, and the place is all lit up. We kind super romantic and he's got it all set out and he, he makes amends for the bullshit and explains that, you know, he was a fucking like teenager, you know, he as a child he's super into her.

She seems to be into him. She really loves what she's doing, what he's doing. She's been sort of watching through the door, you know, every time he is doing something she's like, oh God, he's so amazing. He's such a

Reegs: well. But, and there at Paynes to point out, he's got a real passion for the food. He's into the community idea of this, this, as much as sort of passion project about opening up the community is, is about making anything in terms of money.

Sidey: They have a heart to heart where, where she explains about the ring and she, and, and, and how she feels. And she's like, I'm just not ready to do that. And he's like, no, I totally get it.

And she sort of looks at him and he's like, I've got this letter from my [00:48:00] mother and I feel like I can't read it because once I read it and I've got nothing left from her, you know? And I'm like,

Reegs: I know. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh yeah.

Sidey: So we got that coming up. So he does, he eventually, the money situation because there's, there's just no fucking no one there, there's no one, other than the occasional visit from family and friends, there's no one coming.

He sits the nuns down and he says, look, I'm really sorry. Yeah. You're amazing. The food is amazing, but we just can't afford to keep the doors open, so we're

Reegs: and the food does look amazing.

They've shown us over and over beautifully

Sidey: really, really love Italian cuisine as well,

Reegs: and it's shot beautifully in this as

Sidey: And they, they're all, they're all like so nice to, they're like, listen, you gave me your vegetables. We're so proud of you. Your mom would be so proud of you. All this sort of stuff, you know, you did a great thing. It's, it's just unfortunate. And so they say, well, fuck, you know, the kitchen is actually

Cris: we've

got loads of food.

Yeah.

Sidey: fully stopped for full service, so let's not let it go. Waste. What we'll do is we'll just get everyone down. We'll just say to everyone, everyone just come down free night. We'll do a [00:49:00] big thing and that's the end of it. And we'll, we'll, we'll shut it up. And you're like, I can see where this is going on.

It's, I mean, the thing about this film is there's no, like,

nothing, there's nothing, nothing's gonna surprise you, but it's quite a nice journey. So they do that. They, they just tell everyone to come down, all the different people and and they say it's family style. You just sit yourself down.

There'll be plates and plates of food and the

Reegs: before he's gone to the CR cricket?

Sidey: He does go to the, the the meta cricket. Yeah. And because he is, we've, we've had a montage of him just appealing for

Cris: Emails, emails,

Sidey: him some press, gimme

Reegs: just like, come down, it'll be

Sidey: I'm not asking you to give us you, I'm just asking you to give an honest appraisal

Reegs: come down and experience it.

Sidey: it's like.

See what you think. And no one would do it. They're just too busy. They

Reegs: And then Susan Sarton, it's like, well, fuck it.

If they won't come to you, you go to them. So take a load of food up to your, so he finds like some really ho

Sidey: this guy that just reviews three star restaurants.

Cris: Michelin and all that. He's like,

Reegs: that. Edward Durant, who I figure is a real guy who does

Sidey: it. Must be. Yeah,

Cris: probably. And he's like, oh, you do know I only review in

Reegs: Well, at first he's a bit like, where's security?

Get this guy out of here. Which is quite funny. [00:50:00]

Sidey: funny. He had, it was almost like a villain's layer. The way his, his office, it looked all like clad in like fucking

Reegs: no, he was about to go on,

Cris: I was gonna say, yeah, it looked like he was on

Sidey: what it was? The

Cris: on

Reegs: and he'd basically ambushed, ambushed him

Sidey: he has a Grub hub. Type, you know, takeaway bag that he, and he's just like, we've got, we do, we do this stuff and we've got this gear and all this and the cabella, blah, blah, blah.

And he just sort of leaves it and he says, look, this is what we're trying to do. I really believe in it. I just want you to come down and taste it. And it kind of just cut. He just, it

Reegs: well it's, it almost in first at

Cris: the guy tells him, he looks at his notebook thing and he's like, I'm booked until

Sidey: Yeah. And we're guessing this is the summer or something. It's a long

Cris: And he's like, oh, right,

Sidey: he walks off and

Reegs: I think he picks up an olive or something, doesn't he?

Sidey: We don't see that until after. 'cause he just, it just kind of left. Looks

Cris: like nki, but anyway,

Sidey: that's what I thought.

Reegs: it was, yeah. And

Sidey: And then, yeah. So we get it shutting down.

We have the family meal. And everyone has a fucking great night. And they bring out the

Cris: he puts the sign out already. Ah, yeah. They,

Sidey: closed, it brings out the nons and all the people [00:51:00] who are there for this one last hurrah

Reegs: including the real guy.

He was there.

Sidey: Yeah.

Cris: The mullet. Yeah. The, the

Reegs: first I was like, that guy's that Extra is really enjoying himself.

And then I look, oh, right, okay.

Sidey: And they give them a round of applause, you know, standing ovation for the food. Which to be fair, looked amazing.

Reegs: And it's not just the food, it's the, the, the kitchen is kind of, it's like, you know, almost in the,

Sidey: Yeah, yeah. It is stage. Like the

Reegs: And like the vibe is like big tables. Everybody sitting together, family

Sidey: Yeah. We're making a massive part of this and we're making a massive part of that and a massive pot and it's all getting laid down the table and everyone's just gonna eat it. Yeah.

And enjoy

Reegs: gets to express their culture. 'cause one week it's the woman from Bologna's term, one's from Sicily. That's how they resolve some of their

Sidey: Yeah, that's the compromise. 'cause their kids can't fucking decide. So then yeah, it is the, that's the last night and it's been a great night. But that is it. The next morning he gets the ring at the doorbell, goes to the door. It's his sister and his brother-in-law, and they just chuck the followed up newspaper on his chest.

You know, bang. Have a read of that. [00:52:00] Fuck me. It's a restaurant review. And the matey cuts back to when he's walked away from him in the studio and he's tasted a few bits and he's gone. Fuck. That's actually really nice. He's sent one of his junior editors

to, go down there, have a look at it, and she's, she, and then it cuts to their final night.

They're, we really won. And only big night. And she was one of the ones sat at the table and she's like, fuck, this is like a real community place. It's really,

Reegs: but she's a pains to point out. It's not gimmicky though

Sidey: though. No, no, no. It is completely authentic. It's

Reegs: It's all authentic and

Sidey: This is amazing. You know, you've got real people cooking the food.

There's no bullshit. This is just a great atmosphere. Everyone's like absolute. And you know, that, that the way, not necessarily the the one table thing, but like little small, like community, not community, I don't even mean community, but it's like neighborhood joy. That's, I really like those sort of places.

That's what I really like to be at. And we see, we cut back to her and we see her thinking going, fuck, this is really great. So she's given them a brilliant review. And Vince [00:53:00] Warren's like getting choked up reading that. He's, he's super into it.

Reegs: We'd also found out to add a bit of tension, Bruno, and and Jody had fallen out because he, unbeknownst to him, Bruno had financed some of the stuff by selling his

Sidey: say it. He won't, he won't say it to him and it's his wife that chaps up and tell him. He is like, I thought you were keeping out of it.

Reegs: it. Yeah.

Sidey: What would it be like if you were in it? And

Reegs: the success, in the aftermath, he's able to buy back the car for him, which a nice moment as well.

Sidey: Yeah. So it's, it's turning out to be

Cris: well then it's pretty much the

Reegs: It is, yeah.

Cris: And then it is the, the song at the end and the, the pictures and the fact that because

Reegs: well, he opens up the letter, he

Sidey: they also, they, they Linda Kini and Vince Vaughn's characters, they're having a full on romance.

They're just kissing in front of everyone in the restaurant. It's the mega happy ending. Like everyone's, yeah. Super delighted.

Reegs: And he's moved on. So he opens the letter from his mother and it's her, all of her ingredients.

Sidey: Honestly, I

Reegs: I know this, you tell, I [00:54:00] know I went a few times

Sidey: Right, so I, I've been on Friday I was with Dan 'cause he'd been having a whole big drama about his watch, like a really thing about he, you know, he's got his dad's watch, which is taken to the shops, the jewelers, the watchmaker to have repaired and they'd fucked it.

And there was a whole big fucking drama about that. And I was like, thinking about that. And then he, he goes to sit down and he said this thing about once he reads the thing from his mother that he is got nothing. And honestly, I was fucking in bits, I was thinking about talking, I was thinking about all the things that people have lost.

And I was like, fuck, I'm barely getting through this. You know what I mean? It was super emotional, like totally predictable, like silly.

movies

sentiment of. But like then you get a little bit of sentiment bit and I was like, fucking how, like it was, I was all over shop. Yeah. Really good.

Reegs: And the sort of payoff to that moment, which is a nice moment where he starts to move on and move on to his new life with Olivia, is that he finds out that the secret sweetness that he'd been chasing in the Sunday gravy was actually apples, it

Cris: Yes. Yeah. They [00:55:00] show you the apples. Yeah.

Sidey: just goes to cook some at night, doesn't he?

And he tastes it. He is like,

Reegs: That's finally he's able to recreate his mother's and Nonna's

Sidey: she, she's, he, he opens the envelope and just says I wish I could have left you more. And he flips over and it's just, she's written down all the recipes that she knows for him. Brilliant.

Reegs: very meaningful. Yeah. A very Sunday afternoon heartwarming Yeah, me too.

With a hangover. Cheesy and cliche. Nothing groundbreaking, but I did really quite enjoy this. I

Sidey: Same Exactly. All those things I like, you know, he is gonna buy the car back for him. Yeah. You know, the restaurant's ultimately

Cris: you're gonna be

successful. Yeah.

Sidey: that they're gonna get together. But when it gets to the actual heart of it, with his relationship with his mother and reading

Reegs: is very authentic

Sidey: was fucking in bits, like I could barely like hold it together.

Reegs: And also like expressing love through food is a thing that a lot of people can relate to.

Sidey: Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

Cris: I thought it was more, it was really nice, like throughout the whole thing.

And again, it's, it's an easy thing to see the end. And you think, for me, I was only [00:56:00] waiting to see how is he gonna turn

Sidey: it on? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cris: How is this

Sidey: be? When's the, when's the moment?

Cris: when is, is is he gonna be the guy from the market calling people? Is he gonna be his mates? Is he gonna be the drivers, the bus people or whatever?

Who's gonna bring people in, basically? But also at the end, when I've not seen anything be, I've never even heard of this movie. I've never seen anything before it, I didn't read anything before it, and I've actually seen that it's a real place. This, is a real place.

Reegs: the real place over the

Cris: And the guy with the mullet and all that.

So, so for me to see that, I was like, fuck hell, this is actually a real place. And then you, okay, you're gonna romanticize the movie and you're gonna make it into, you know, all

Reegs: that.

But everybody's got, got a mother and you know, if you live long enough that your mother will die and you know, people

Cris: and a grandmother and, and you remember the cooking

Sidey: that.

And I think it, I think it says like, they obviously had these four, but then they just started employing non from all over the place. I'm sure one of the ones they Sure. Asian Look Korean to

Cris: Asian. Yeah. There was definitely Asian. They said that now it's just, there'll be

Sidey: it's, they'll cook, they'll cook and then they'll come out to see that everyone's enjoying it.

You know, it's real. That's the vibe, you know, it's a real [00:57:00] family vibe inside. And it does say, make sure you call ahead

Reegs: the restaurant near where Project 52 that used to be there beforehand was a bit like that. The Portuguese

Sidey: restaurant. Oh, Madeira Club. Yeah. It was great.

Cris: It is the same place.

was, that,

was the same

Sidey: Yeah. Yeah. It was great. Yeah. It

Reegs: of vibe that when you went in sometimes.

Cris: Yeah. There was

Sidey: that was a great restaurant. Yeah.

Cris: Mix's dad used to run it.

Sidey: It was Pedro, it was the guy who is it? Longville, the one who's not the family member at Longville, but yeah. Real good vibes in there. Yeah.

Reegs: So a strong recommend for Nons, which was surprisingly funny

Sidey: Netflix, Netflix, Netflix stuff is like, they, so they make this, these things because they, Netflix is obviously a global brand, so the stuff that they make, the, the, the products they make have to be universal and able to succeed Cross territory. Yeah. And this we've, 'cause we have watched other, other Netflix scenes that were just

Reegs: pretty average.

Sidey: painfully generic.

And this was generic in a lot of senses, but the stuff where it mattered was excellent.

Reegs: Exactly. [00:58:00] And it was clearly made with a lot of love. Like some of these actors like Lorraine Bracco, Andre DeMaio and stuff, you don't see 'em in a lot of stuff these days.

They don't do a lot of work. It was clearly a passion project for, and Vince Vaughn as well, and a lot of these people are Italian.

Cris: this was my point that except for Vince born Sarandon, everyone has an Italian surname. Yeah. And they're all New York, New Jersey, kind of that kind of vibe. They're all Italian, you know, second, third generation, whatever.

They all have a connection somehow or another, not necessarily with that restaurant, but with. What this movie symbolizes. So I think that's kind of made it really, because they're all,

Sidey: I think this all do well, the

Cris: the gestures and the, you know, they're all

Sidey: oh, they lean into the Italian stuff, you know, of course the

Cris: Yeah, of course.

Sidey: the foreigners. But I think it, I think it will do really well for Netflix because it, it, it will cross sell across territories, but also it has a really good heart.

And that stuff is, there's stuff about family obviously that's like a hundred percent universal and, and really hits him.

Cris: how many times have you have we seen movies, New York, any, any [00:59:00] era Italian connected to the mafia or connect to gangsters or connect to violence. There's

Reegs: portrayal. Yeah. There's

Cris: none of that in this. This is just family food and love and, you know, success really, in

Reegs: a way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Cris: So, so it's, I quite like that. It was quite nice. And the perfect length.

Sidey: Yes.

Reegs: Well, it was one hour 54. I thought you might think that

Cris: No, no, it was good. It was good.

I, I enjoyed that.

it was good enough. Long enough.

Sidey: Good length, strong.

Cris: Strong. Yeah, strong.

Reegs: Bernard's watch. I'm the only one who actually

Sidey: had seen it 'cause he nominated it. He has bailed out. Yeah. I think he said it was a strong recommend, but will it take it from you? 'cause Chris and I haven't seen this and this possibly, we, we we're debating whether we carry on doing kids stuff.

Yeah. We might just do dad

Cris: it's also, it's a struggle to find and, and look, you, you, you've

Sidey: 500 odd

Cris: Yeah. But that's what I mean, you know better than me. Look, the world is full of, of kids stuff. Right. But it's a very niche place where you, [01:00:00] you rarely find different themes than the generic

Sidey: I think.

I think if we find a good one, we do it as like a main, but anyway, let's talk about, let's talk about this

Reegs: thing, the main thing that has changed is that our kids have grown up.

We've been doing this podcast for five or six years and you know, our elders in particular, they just watch adult stuff like the

Sidey: Yeah, same.

Yeah. Yeah.

Reegs: all that sort of thing. So that, that's

Cris: train spotting and that.

Reegs: So yeah, maybe we can shake things up to more realistically reflect being

Sidey: yeah, exactly.

Reegs: or whatever.

Sidey: But what about this one?

Reegs: this was Bernard's watch, this was made in 1999.

And when you watch it, you think, fucking hell, that looks like a thousand years ago with the

Cris: You

said that in the intro, right? I,

Reegs: I was really surprised how old this looked in terms of fashions and all sort like technologies.

Sidey: I remember

being in the nineties. Yeah. We didn't have the internet where we could go and buy stuff of ASSO or wherever for Tempe, we would have to go into town, into the high street for whatever was available.

Yeah. Get the shittiest haircut that was

Reegs: I was about to say, you'd have had a bad [01:01:00] tracksuit and a shit haircut, which is probably pretty accurate. Some

Sidey: shit jeans and a bad haircut and much like I do these days in my forties. So yeah. Nothing's changed really, but for kids, I think it has.

Reegs: Yeah. So,

Sidey: oh, what I would say about that is that now I think that all the kids look the same.

but in a shit Instagram, fring them in a shit Instagram sort of way. Yeah. Where they all don't necessarily look cheap and

Reegs: everyone goes to the gym.

That's what I find about the youngsters nowadays. They're all fucking massive.

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: Do they feed them

Sidey: I think the girls all look the same. I think there's an aesthetic that's just the same.

Reegs: Yeah. Every girl under the age of 25 looks the same

Sidey: sort of. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe they, maybe that's not any different when we, anyway, this is this thing.

Reegs: So the plot of the, the concept is that which you're introduced to in the theme tune is that Bernard is, well, it looks like he finds it, but he's given a watch.

He's constantly late stuff and he's given a watch that allows him to manipulate time backwards and forwards and pause it. It's like a stopwatch. It's not an F [01:02:00] 91. It's like a

Cris: it's like me when Dan gave

Sidey: me Oh, a stopwatch.

Reegs: Like a pocket watch type

Cris: pocket. Right. Okay.

Reegs: So the there's some whimsical pan pipe type music and then we're off.

They're raising money for the pet sanctuary. It's not very. Pet. Yeah, pet cemetery. The pet sanctuary. And his fa, his grandfather is a bit of a blowhard comes across and gives a load of advice. He thinks about, you know, he talks about what he'd raised money through darts that he'd done years ago.

You've gotta give people a reason to come and spend money, to raise money for things. So, he's gonna organize this darts

thing.

Contest. Yeah. Competition. Competition. And he's gonna show some of his prowess which includes being able to throw three darts at the same time, all into the bull.

Sidey: Wow. Okay. Yeah.

Reegs: So three darts, one hand

Cris: through the other.

Reegs: well just kind of holds them all. And they sort of all land like clustered in, right?

Cris: Right.

Sidey: Okay. I'm calling [01:03:00] bullshit.

Reegs: Well,

Well, yes, you, you might be right to do that. 'cause when they go to practice it grandfather doesn't have it at all. So, cutting a very long story short, when it comes to the actual night of the pet zone treat, it's being held in a pub.

Sidey: because I'm just looking at a dartboard now and I'm

Reegs: it's hard, isn't it?

Sidey: three

Cris: to do that

Sidey: time. I have seen professional darts players hit three balls in a row. Not with the, not in the same

Reegs: one hand. 3

Cris: in one throw. Yeah, it is just, physics. Might disagree with him on that one.

Reegs: so we get to the the evening of the thing and his first dart is absolutely horrific, like just rich shades around the room.

So Bernard uses the watch to pause time just after he is thrown it and then he grabs the thing, pushes it, repositions it, puts it in the dart board and you know, yeah, I know. But so they raise the money and everybody's very, very happy. Except there is a thing where he doesn't get to his watch in time or some, there's some conundrum and he manages to throw the three and he does it even though, so he obviously you [01:04:00] think he Bernard's gonna, 'cause he talks about doing the three dark finish.

But grandpa throws it before he is got a chance to get his watch ready and manages to do it.

Sidey: Ah, what a legend.

Reegs: pays off. Yeah. And then, yeah, he pause his time and then he just like starts like fiddling with the breasts of the no, he doesn't. He doesn't. But that's what I would've done if I had

Sidey: I know. I think it would be hard to resist temptation, wouldn't it?

Yeah. That's interesting that we did back in the nineties and we got strong darts content because darts, although they had the, no, we get confused about

Reegs: this

is a children's show and a lot of it is set in a pub with adults drinking beers. So that's 1999 for you.

Sidey: yeah. What I did do last week on Thursday, I went on a history walk of Saint Helio's.

My third one this was Tails and Ales. It was seven different

Reegs: Okay.

Sidey: Okay. And the people that drink in them.

and

Reegs: who got stabbed in them.

Sidey: no, we were going back way, way, way

Cris: Is his with the same guy? Yeah.

Sidey: Okay.

Reegs: He must think you are like following him around.

Sidey: We left the, I, he was my two most loyal customers. I see.

But the [01:05:00] cock bottle was a guy called Thomas Ley and that he really helped us win the Battle of Jersey.

Reegs: All Right.

Cris: Okay.

Reegs: Which took place in an ley place or

Sidey: and no ley Street. Street? No, it took place in Royal Square, but Ley Street is named after Thomas Ley. And so lots of these people there, Baron Street is named after Barford and blah, blah, blah.

They're all named after people. And then the shit anyway that No getting derailed he said. We will have a pint in the Delphi. Right. So the, there's an area in Jersey called the Parade and there's a big statue of the don there. He built all the roads. He built the first roads that connected all the Yeah.

Parishes. Okay. And his party, his the opening of this monument to Don was paid for by the Jersey Cycling Association. 'cause they finally had roads cycl, but the Don Hotel, which became Kit Oche, he, so when we were out on Thursday, he said, well, we'll have a pint in or, or we'll stop in the Delphi.

You don't have to a pint, but you can have a drink. We'll go for the Delphi. That's the next pub down. It's quite [01:06:00] nice. You can, you know, it's like not a gastro pub. You

Reegs: Did you have to buy him a pine?

Sidey: No. He said, I, I was gonna stop in Kit Chas, but it's a bit rough. And I was like, I spent a lot of my childhood in that pub.

'cause my dad would drink in that all the time. And I would just be sat, I would just be like, right. Know, there was no question of like, you go to a holiday camp or, or blah, blah, blah. It's like, mom's at work, dad's going to the pub. So you go to the the pub with your dad and I just played like whatever arcade machine was there.

Like that was basically my taste. Fucking can imagine. Can imagine. Didn't have your kids now mental. But

Cris: there are still people that do that, you know

Sidey: I know, I know. But it's not as like commonplace as it was back in the a That would've been the eighties. Yeah. But then there were, you know, the pub games.

So then you, you play pool and you'd play darts and all that. So to see a bit of darts content in a kids play takes me back. Yeah. To the eighties in the Don Hotel pub in the parade of, yeah.

Reegs: Well, like you say, it must have been pretty commonplace because this was a children's television [01:07:00] program airing on BBC one during,

Cris: 1999, Yeah. I

Reegs: 9 with a large part featuring adult drinking.

Cris: Well, that's the, the idea because I, I always have this conversation with people whenever they ask me, like, oh, I've never heard this in my life until I came to Britain. And mind you, I, first time I moved to England, I lived in London, and people would ask me, where's your local?

And I didn't understand what they mean. Mm. Because my notion in Romania, we don't, you don't have a local pub. You, you don't, we don't,

Sidey: it would be because generally, like in the old times, it would be centered around a village and you would have the village like post office and a pub. You know, those are the

Cris: Those were the, the social places where people

Sidey: do your day job, you'd probably maybe go and buy a bike and then well, we'll go to the pub.

That would be there. That would be, you get to know everyone. I remember

Reegs: in England that are

Sidey: yeah, a lot of them, a lot of the rural places like that. And that's what keeps the communities together. My my dad was a tax driver and I remember distinctly, he had a, a regular customer who, who was an alcoholic and my dad would just.

Drive him all day to different pubs to have [01:08:00] like pints, you know? And I would, sometimes I would be there with him and he would just this guy was, he would, oh, he would do this magic trick, you know, not hide the penis but with like fag ass in his hand and do that. And then he would appear and, and you're like, fuck.
