00:18all over people. Summer blockbusters and festival and music films to celebrate the onset of festival
00:26season. Hooray. Well hooray for most of us but poor Benji's got so much work to do around it. Maybe
00:31not hurry for him. Let them know how the sausage is made. I'm your host Kelly Crichton and I'm joined
00:39by National World's critics Benjamin Jackson and Matt Moen Hickson as ever to tell us what's hot

01:06run times where we'll take you through the best in TV and film. I can maybe stop saying that now
01:11because it's six months into this year isn't it so we've been doing it for a while. Emphasis. Yes just
01:17in case people are you know coming back to it for the second time but haven't experienced the new
01:22look. Screen Babble. So first up today we are talking about series two of The Last of Us. Spoiler
01:28alerts ahead if you have not finished it you may want to skip through on maybe to about 14 minutes
01:34where we will be moving on to a different topic. That's if we go to time which we never do so maybe
01:39give it 15 or 16. And then Benji's going to take us through some of the big blockbuster films
01:46of the summer and we're going to chat a little bit about whether the Hollywood blockbuster train
01:52is running out of steam. And finally we will all start packing our rucksacks for festivals.
01:58What's your favourite festival or music movie? You can hear ours and thoughts on some good
02:03recommendations too. Right. Hello Benji and Matt. How are you guys doing? Hello. Busy. Busy. Yeah.
02:11Very busy. Not too busy for this though. Why are people so productive at this time of year? It
02:15kills me. Right. So yeah we had to start today with you know what we were heralding as one of
02:22the TV events of the year obviously. It returned. The Last of Us returned. Returned? The Last of Us
02:31returned in what seemed like the depths of winter and now here we are in the summer and it's all over.
02:38Matt. How are you feeling about it? Hmm. Next. Agree. Agree. They were always going to have a hard
02:47task because Last of Us Part 2 is very divisive. It is it's a complex beast. It's not like yeah you
02:56know it's doing a lot. It challenges you as a player like it's about empathy and revenge and cycles of
03:03violence and I was always a bit like will this work without interactivity like you know like a
03:10large part of it is you're complicit in Ellie's like bloodbath across the city of Seattle. Yeah so
03:17you're kind of bought into more maybe there as a passive viewer I get you I get you okay. But I think
03:24there was some good stuff I mean there's some really good performances I thought Bella Ramsey
03:28Pedro Pascal was obviously really good when he was there and Isabella Merced? Merced? Merced? Merced? I
03:38don't know how to pronounce the last name which yeah who was Dina in the TV show I thought she was
03:43really good and I actually think Dina's a bit better in the TV show than she is in the game like
03:48I think they give her more to do so yeah I thought she was really good. I also liked Young
03:54Young Manzo? Young Manzo the guy who played Jesse I thought he was really good as well like it's quite
04:01a small role but I thought yeah I thought he was pretty compelling but yeah it's a divisive game like
04:08I was there in 2020 when everything leaked and it was the pandemic and it was a horrible time to be
04:15done in that. I suppose from I never played the game obviously but I was aware of the game and
04:23I think I knew something that Benji maybe didn't know at the start of this second series was that
04:29spoiler alert spoiler alert spoiler uh Joel dies in the first two episodes. I mean I'm not naive I
04:37I still have the game and I'm still attuned to what the second game had I just want to echo Matt's
04:45sentiments there for a moment to say why couldn't they have elongated Pedro's uh you know death or
04:52Joel's death as it were until maybe later on in the season and leave that as a potential cliffhanger
04:58because I'm I'm one of those people that the moment that Pedro left the series it I just it dropped
05:05off for me I found he was the magnetism I found in the first season with all respect to Della Ramsey
05:11and everyone I was drawn to the series because I guess I'm drawn to internet uncle or internet daddy
05:17whatever he's being referred to these days boyfriend yeah I don't know yeah so I'm just wondering Matt
05:24because you you've played the game it's still resting on my ps4 waiting to be touched was there a
05:30possibility that they could have supersized like you said season two and pushed Joel's death or
05:35wasn't quite immediate in the game there's an episode in the season where Pedro comes back and
05:41it sort of touches on like a flashback series episode yeah there's stuff you sort of slowly get filled in
05:47like why they're like you know they start off in a pretty bad place like they're not happy with each
05:52other um their relationship has soured somewhat and you're like oh what's what's happened there
05:58like you know why are they not you know Ellie and Joel anymore and it fills you back in they cleverly did
06:04that I thought as one episode I thought that was smart to do it as an episode instead of pepper
06:08throughout I think that it was one of the better episodes as well wasn't it yeah yeah it's possibly
06:14one of the best of the show so far yeah maybe yeah yeah very good um I I think you've both touched on
06:22different things there I think that yeah the sort of passive nature of viewing the thing rather than
06:28being in control of Ellie um but also the lack of connection with the characters is a thing
06:37because Ellie is the only character we now have a strong connection with the other peripheral
06:43characters it's just not there yet they haven't spent enough time we're not connected with them
06:48they're just like peripherals you know they're going to be important in the future but they just
06:52haven't become no it's because and I really don't understand why they didn't you know it's a tv show
06:57you can cut across to I don't know have a bit with Jesse where he's he's I don't know having you know
07:04a struggle across on the journey cut to Tommy what's up Tommy like exactly like yeah Jesse just turns up
07:11and we're supposed to be all like yay go Jesse and there was a scene actually in the last episode
07:14where he says to Ellie you'd die for me wouldn't you like I hate what you do and I hate that you're
07:20obsessed with your own stuff yeah but you would die for me wouldn't you and she's like yeah you know
07:25and it's oh it's a bit of a shock because you're like oh yeah so she he's really important to her as
07:31well you know and you're like yeah but um I was intrigued by Abby who's played by Caitlin Dever
07:39Dever so she's in I think she's a great actress she's in um the first one or two episodes two I
07:47suppose and um yes and I was all like when we'd seen that I was like oh she's going to be like
07:53totally in the rest of the series she's the big bad guy you know blah blah blah and in fact we don't
07:58actually see her again pretty much until the very last few minutes of the very last episode
08:03yeah and of course it cuts to her and it's like we now know a series three is gonna be her story as
08:10it were which I found very intriguing and I was it drew me in yeah it was a good I felt it was a good
08:18ending uh despite you know the shoot him up yeah shoot him up scene that happened just before it where
08:25everybody could be dead but her being there and you can see that she's being centered for the next
08:30series is interesting now I did a bit of research today and I did see that uh Bella Ramsey was talking
08:37about season three and they said they hadn't seen any scripts so it may not have been written yet
08:43and also that they may not feature very heavily which would lean into that theory that it's more about
08:50the Abbey character and I have a feeling we're going to get real sort of empathy for the Abbey
08:56character whose father was murdered by Joel you know even though they seem like heartless she seems
09:02like a heartless absolute psychopath in that episode where she basically kills Joel so um yeah there's a
09:10lot going on but I was kind of disappointed bottom line I was a bit like it's not as good as the first
09:16series at all and I just think it's it's that sense of the fact it's not uh you don't know all
09:23right season three is coming in six months like if you knew that you'd go all right this is the
09:27might say it could be two years do you not think like yeah yeah yeah I mean the thing I will say is
09:33I think people will enjoy season three a lot better because the Abbey side of the story has quite a lot
09:39of parallels to the first game and first season she almost has she's almost Joel to someone else and
09:48it's okay you know what do you do if you've done revenge and it doesn't make you happy it doesn't
09:54help like you know how do you climb back when you've done your revenge and it hasn't actually
09:59done yeah hasn't filled that gaping hole in your soul or whatever yeah yeah and the other thing to
10:07mention is obviously the story's moved on a good bit in the sense that we've only had I mean we had
10:13a good few zombie attacks in this series but like by the end of the series it was very much the threat
10:20was from the fireflies and what are the other guys called the walderson scars yeah yeah those guys
10:28serophytes serophytes so is it serophytes or serophytes are the yeah they're the people with the like
10:35the little shaved heads and yeah the religious the religious ones yeah and I mean we haven't fully
10:41come to understand them either yet yeah you know they're sort of they're they're dangerous they're
10:47they've got some weird cult-like religious element to them um but they are a massive threat by the
10:54looks of things and that was always like one of my big hops maybe they'll do in season three like I'd love
10:58uh like the episode with you know frank and bill I'd love that about them yeah it's part of like
11:05the prophet who's this mysterious figure that you've seen like painted yes places like who was
11:11this person like why you know why are they like this like that's yeah yeah yeah you need to connect
11:17you need to connect with the viewer like that episode did in series one where it was like
11:23these two normal people who were trying to live a normal life in very extraordinary
11:28circumstances and you could connect with their story and their love story and all that stuff which
11:34was this similar for the Joel and Ellie episode we had in this series but like yeah they need to maybe
11:40stretch that out a bit I feel and that's that's maybe the that's maybe the joy of the computer game
11:46in a way those little bits but they haven't stretched it enough for tv or something yeah I feel
11:53it was almost too video gamey like there's too often like people like running around with guns and
11:59stuff it's like yeah we got it they're like they're wandering around and yeah some of the stuff like
12:05I always do that thing as well where I'm like how much ammunition have they carried on this horse to
12:09Seattle you know I know I know it sounds ridiculous and you do have to suspend reality in a certain
12:14amount but I'm like the two girls go off on the horse and they're it's like or the two characters
12:22go off on the horse and it's they have a backpack or two backpacks and yet how much you know where
12:28is their food where is their ammunition all this stuff and it's like yeah you know did you just put
12:34a toothbrush in the bag was that it like um it's strange and and I really struggled with if we're on
12:41a rant you know the way they went into like a music shop and they went into like an auditorium
12:46and obviously music and playing music is a theme in the in the series but I was like there's no way
12:52these people have been rampaging all over the city the place is an absolute wreck there's no way
12:56there'd be an auditorium where there's a perfectly set up fenced you know and all the all the instruments
13:03and like and nothing and everything's untouched I was like that doesn't make any sense whatsoever
13:07and that kind of stuff annoys me if it happens a lot and it did happen a bit in this series where
13:12it was like but then I guess again it's back to well it's a computer game it's not actually you know
13:17based on anything you know in terms of it's also a tv show isn't it as well like like I feel like
13:23they could do more to make it a tv show like I feel sometimes that they're yeah they're almost like
13:30like they seem in two minds like oh we've got to slavishly adapt this and it's like but you don't
13:35have to like you can you can do more tv show style takes on this like it's we like I thought
13:44they would do the abby ellie split like as in you would see them both at the same time I didn't
13:49think they would do the yeah this is all of ellie's story yes all about this story like so it doesn't
13:56yeah it doesn't feel the same you know because you're not something like oh what what do you mean
14:00I've got to control abby now what no I don't want to do that like I want to kill abby like
14:04let me kill abby like whereas this is just like okay it's just a different character now I guess
14:10yeah yes interesting and I suppose we won't give any more away of what happens later at this point
14:17because who knows what's going to happen in series three but apparently there is it has been commissioned
14:23so it will come at some point so look uh that was us the last of us series two did you finish it at
14:29all Benji no have you got have we wrecked it completely for you there uh you've kind of wrecked
14:33it completely for me but it's all sorry no you want me to put a spoiler you yes spoiler alert but like
14:40you have to get off the podcast to avoid it I don't even how would that work I was just doodling
14:47a sudoku it's it's fine talk amongst yourselves a bit more uh tell me though what series in to your
14:55mind returned for a second series and they completely messed it up any any any strong feelings about that
15:02I mean I don't know about second series but I mean I I really wanted to say the uh when
15:12Arrested Development first arrived back on Netflix because the way that they had that show and the
15:18way that they broadcast that initially was I were going to concentrate on just one character each which
15:25completely took away from the dynamic that made Arrested Development brilliant in the first place
15:31because it's an ensemble piece but um I'm gonna say the last season of the White Lotus I really didn't
15:39enjoy yeah you didn't actually yeah that dropped off as well so it's HBO having a bit of a resting on
15:46its laurels for its legacy tv and there's a bit of a drop-off on it because yeah I don't know many people
15:52that revered season three of the White Lotus no like they revered the first two seasons running out of
16:00steam a little bit what about you Matt uh I have to go with uh Friday Night Lights I feel like that's
16:06the quintessential had a terrible second season yeah now I think that came out during the strikes
16:11you know the the 2007-2008 strikes I think that probably yeah had was part of the reason like
16:19those production troubles which is why it wasn't great but yeah that went from oh wow this is like
16:23a fantastic show to like what on earth like why is that killing someone you know that did manage to
16:30like fix itself around uh yeah there's always hope to bounce back isn't there I suppose that's it yeah
16:35exactly like sometimes they should quit while they're ahead of series one but then you know
16:38you could be left at series three or four and being someone who's watched Grey's Anatomy for 22 series
16:44I can tell you there was some total dud series like but you know I kept going so dedicated but then
16:50it's got better again and then it goes off again and I guess it's writers come and go and that kind of
16:55stuff but the one that I would always go back to is that completely lost its way but it wasn't until
17:00about the third or fourth series I think was last pardon the pun yeah okay that's enough of that right
17:07we are now going to talk about summer blockbusters so Benji you've been writing about summer blockbusters
17:13and honestly we could be here all day if we talked about all of them so we're going to focus on some of
17:18the ones that have been kind of most heralded so tell us yeah yeah I mean oh we need to start with
17:24Mission Impossible Final Reckoning which came out a week or two ago along with Lilo and Stitch which
17:31have been doing really well but you brought up has Hollywood run out of steam now being the nerd that
17:40I am with my glasses I did a bit of math now this year 13 of the two or sorry 2024 should I say
17:4913 of the 202 films that came out during the summer blockbuster time period were either part of a
17:57franchise were part of a live action adaptation or a complete remake and if you compare that to 2023
18:04there were 17 films that same fit those same parameters either reboots remakes or films based on
18:13IP so I think maybe Hollywood and the studios have maybe taken a bit of a lesson not to completely
18:20bulldoze everybody with like franchise movies and everything like that but I mean it's path
18:27of course these days I mean we have to start we've been talking about Pedro let's talk about the fantastic
18:32four first steps which looks to continue the stop start momentum that the Marvel Cinematic Universe
18:39seems to have because for every Captain America Brave New World there is thunderbolts yay so
18:47I am a bit dubious about it because there have been four different times that the fantastic four
18:56has tried to be made into a film stop four yeah so arrested and will know that there was a version
19:05made an association with Roger Corman back in 1994 a real low budget one just so the studio could retain
19:13the rights to fantastic four okay right okay that was referenced in the rest of development when Tobias
19:20Funke met his drug addicted love interest and then we of course we had the Eon Grufford and Chris Evans
19:29ones from 2005 and 2007 which seemed like they'd do all right but then that franchise tailed off and
19:36then unfortunately you had their fourth attempt which was the 2015 version with Michael B Jordan and
19:44everyone so I can't remember any of them any of them no like I definitely want to see the first one
19:51like not the not the first first one the actual first one back when I was a kid but I do not remember
19:57any of it and like I feel like guy who turns into fire and fly should be like perfect for
20:01a young boy yeah they should be on your list exactly yeah but I mean I'm hoping that because they're
20:08taking more of a retro futuristic feel with this version that perhaps it's going to have that same
20:17sort of kitsch appeal that Thor love and thunder had because they had those taika waitati versions of
20:23the Thor movies they definitely invested more in the kind of quirky retro futuristic aspect which I
20:29think they might be doing with this um but we'll wait and see one of the other big ones everyone's
20:35talking about one second we do have to say that Pedro Pascal is in the fantastic four that's why
20:42did I not mention that to begin with did you say that at the start that but that's why we can
20:46speaking of Pedro Pascal yes we can be pumped for it because Pedro is in it and he was he's in a film
20:53that my kids watch sometimes which is called we can be heroes it's a kids film about superhero about
20:58superheroes it's from only 2020 and it I swear it is you should just check it out because
21:03it's pretty low budget terrible and Pedro is like one of the main people and it's only from 2020 so I'm
21:11kind of surprised but anyway let's hope this one is slightly better this anyway I mean we have to
21:18talk about 28 years later as well I'm I'm a little bit skeptical about it uh who's in it uh Aaron Taylor
21:28Johnson Rafe Ralph it's there's an LPH in there Ralph or yeah Fines is in there as well um I I mean
21:38there's a there's a lot of hype behind it but because we know for a fact next January the sequel
21:45uh 28 years later the bone temple is coming out could that mean that people perhaps might wait until
21:52it comes on streaming services watch it then and then go to the cinema I mean you know we talk like
21:59we're not still in a cost of living crisis and I know cinema tickets uh yeah not too expensive but at
22:05the same time you've got to make sure that you're getting what you want you definitely need to make
22:11sure there'll be a lot of nostalgia around that film though is it and it's a new film it's not a
22:14remake you know what I mean it's a new story so we're going back to the franchise side of things
22:20though as well aren't we because it isn't intellectual property so there's an argument that could be made
22:26that yeah but is it not just another franchise film but let's hope that it's really good and so
22:32is the next one you know yeah yeah let's be optimistic clearly somebody really wants it to be good
22:37but I love 28 days later I hope it does well also you know I mean the way that they use
22:44different film and technology to give it that gritty appeal is fantastic and it looks like
22:49it's the same thing that they're gonna do here my concern is that are they gonna try and world
22:54build for what is potentially going to be a trilogy of new films and try and condense that world
23:00building into just one film which might seem like skipping you know the course a little bit and
23:08racing through it wedged yeah yeah yeah I get you yeah which is good um and then there are of course
23:14you know a whole bunch of other films out there as well I mean like you mentioned there's two we went
23:20on and on and on about the last of us that there's too many to go through but yeah um how to train your
23:27dragon live action coming out there I know what you did last summer did we need another I know what
23:32you did last summer there's superman that hopes to buck the trend of other superman movies so yeah
23:38you're bang to rights Kelly about are they going back to the well when it comes to just pitching and
23:45praying that a franchise film will do better this time around or a sequel or a live action remake so
23:51it's going to be a very interesting summer and I do think that people are kind of hoping for that same
23:56barbenheimer kind of phenomena to occur this time around but I mean it was a perfect storm when those
24:03two films came out wasn't it and it's going to be hard to recreate that perfect storm again we were kind
24:09of spoiled weren't we and I mean to think that people went to the cinema and watch those two films back
24:13to back when you might struggle to get somebody out to the cinema to watch one film this summer you
24:18know um but I do think I do think there's potential there and as you mentioned the Mission Impossible
24:23film which is the last one even though I can't remember if I've watched any of them since the
24:27second or third one um and you have Naked Gone and but again you know they're all been there done
24:33that sort of thing um so watch this space we might be here in September eating our words and being
24:39like actually none of these did well it was all original films or you know I never used to be
24:44fine Hollywood was we might we might talk about how the franchise films are like ah how amazing that
24:49it was a very post-modern take on something that's been done before absolutely the likelihood of that
24:54being law getting poo from a wooden rocking horse is more likely that's the second time I've heard that
25:03recently and I don't think I'd ever heard it before but anyway um so this got me thinking actually
25:07about you know what film in your mind should never ever be messed with ever again Benji
25:15no I go for Matt because I cut him off when we talk about it all right Matt go on then
25:19it's okay well just you know keeping up the video game theme I think Resident Evil they've just got
25:25to stop like they're trying to make another one they've tried it so many times even it all stop
25:30yeah it's just like just just stop it now like you you've done it like you've had a failed Netflix
25:34show even a reboot movie all those bloody movies from the 2000s like just just yeah call it quits
25:40just yeah someone fall in the head and double tap that franchise immediately right
25:45well I think I just have such a soft spot and a fondness for Goonies I I just think like you
25:53couldn't cast that film like you'd get some character wrong it was just of a time and I've
26:01heard rumors in years gone by that they were going to redo it and I just think no it's it's just too
26:07it holds too important to space in people's movie memory hearts that you would really really struggle
26:13the probably the closest thing they'll ever get to is like stranger things you know but the you'd
26:17really struggle to recreate that I think come on Benji give us one real quick what what should
26:22we never make again Texas Chainsaw Massacre just stop they've done a few of them as well haven't
26:28they yeah it's been flogged to death completely yes the first one's a classic for a reason because
26:34it was a time a place a definitely an atmosphere did we need Texas 3d did we need Texas Chainsaw
26:41Massacre versus you know the the woke virtual people that apparently Hollywood resent and put into
26:47movies now which was an actual thing so just just stop all right let Leatherface have a nap let him
26:55enjoy his redundancy because they've closed down all of the slaughterhouses around Texas just let
27:00him be for god's sakes let him be please just stop please just stop okay think of the horror movie
27:06monster love it okay right so we are now going to talk a little bit about it's that time of the year
27:13when you can't set foot outside your door for the sounds of thumping music funfares and people
27:18having a good old time so in honor of festival season we thought we'd share our favorite festival
27:23or music movies of all time I feel like this is one of those things that I could have really
27:27overthought this but I decided to go simple but Matt let's start with you what what is up there on
27:34your list of movie slash yeah documentaries I'm gonna go with rolling thunder review which is on
27:42netflix or was on netflix it was a netflix film I don't know if they've like vaulted it away I should
27:47have yeah but it's a documentary by Martin Scorsese about uh bob dylan's rolling thunder review tour in
27:55like the 70s but it's um it plays very like fast and loose with uh fact and fiction like there was a movie
28:03that they were filming at the same time that they never actually used and the use oh it isn't like
28:07really from real life it's actually from a movie and yeah it's it's it's perfect for the master of
28:15mischief himself so yeah it's really good it's quite a long lot so you might want to split it up in a few
28:20episodes I've not seen it actually where did you say you could watch it it was not on netflix oh like
28:26it was a netflix film and when was that made roughly uh 2018 2019 before the pandemic yes I vaguely
28:35remember this now um and obviously we've had the other dylan biopic with timothy shalliman more
28:42recently which is called something road is it anyone a light a bright long and winding road or something
28:51okay we'll we'll come back to that on the next episode um I think it's something something road is in my
28:59head but anyway um okay cool Benji what about you what is your favorite music slash festival movie
29:07I mean I know I jotted down head uh metal a headbanger's journey but in all honesty the one that still
29:13sticks with me is uh 2005's The Devil and Daniel Johnson which is about a fantastic outsider musician
29:21and basically him coming to terms with the fact that he has a a a mental disability a real serious
29:30problem and yet still is a proponent of this fantastic outsider weirdly beautiful kind of like
29:37pop music I got into Daniel Johnson because Kurt Cobain used to wear a hi how are you t-shirt and
29:44I just found it incredibly fascinating uh even if you're not a fan of the music it's definitely
29:51want to check out just to study how people can cope with such huge expectations and yet their own
29:59personal issues and yet still create this fantastic music that is beloved and you know unfairly underground
30:07I still think but it was absolutely riveting and and that or searching for sugar men uh to yes defining
30:16documentaries to check out cool cool yeah well I was very lazy here and I just went with festival right
30:22the that fire documentary the documentary about fire festival and um that was supposed to take place in
30:28uh in the Caribbean somewhere if memory serves me correctly and basically yeah so it's it's you know
30:41like it's not really a music it's not music related at all it's about a festival that's an absolute
30:45car crash and it's this you know character Billy McFarland who is like a businessman and he decides he's
30:53gonna throw this like I guess super luxury festival on this island and you know he flies out all these
31:00models and it looks super chic and it's gonna be super amazing in a beautiful location blink 182 are
31:07gonna play and others and yeah it's gonna be total high end etc gets all these models to put stuff on
31:13Instagram on social media or whatever and it basically sells out you know for whatever the price the
31:17tickets were which was astronomical only rich people could afford to do this thing and then basically
31:22the documentary just catalogs the whole spiral of a disaster that the whole um whole incident was and
31:30the way they took advantage of like local workers and local businesses and the way people just turned
31:35up they're expecting this amazing thing and they didn't have anywhere to sleep and they didn't have
31:38anything water to drink and oh my god it was just complete car crash so yeah it's definitely worth
31:44the watch to for that insight into that someone give that guy that managed to get the water a trophy
31:51yeah he he was an absolute hero i don't oh my god yes but you know yeah it's just
31:59you know billy mcdarlin's trying to do another pop-up festival now they're trying to do firefest 2
32:04didn't happen come on americans re-elected trump what you're anything is possible do you know what i mean
32:10like so hold on that's not the kind of podcast for that i apologize there are other political parties

32:30quickly before we have to sign off what music story would you like to see immortalized on the big

33:01to the conservatorship i'm slightly concerned that that story isn't quite finished yet you know and
33:07it could still end badly that's all right that's what we're talking about franchise movies sequel kelly
33:14lots of sequels all the sequels you want benji's got a new funky mike thing that looks like he's
33:20commentating at the horses so um he's just enjoying it or uh or eating a very nice ice pole yeah there
33:27you go uh my my secret slash not really secret desire to see a band story on um the big screen
33:36is the klf who have the most absolutely mental story the stuff they did their motivations their
33:45complete lack of respect for the music industry and everything it stood for and how it operated
33:51is just it's a piece of it's a work of art which is what they actually meant for it all to be anyway
33:56but you do you are left agog at points in their stories um i mean everyone kind of knows them
34:03first burning the million pounds but like there's so many other stories in their band history yeah
