00:30Satirical horror film, American Psycho.
00:34Here's your host, Tom Gleason.
00:37Yes! Hello!
00:40Season 10 almost done.
00:43Welcome to Hardcats. These contestants are season finales.
00:46The last one to disappoint will be tonight's Hardcats champion.
00:51To be part of the show at home, go to the ABC TV iview socials.
00:55Let's say hello. G'day, Max.
00:57Hi.
00:58So American Psycho is your expert subject. What's it all about?
01:01It's about a 27-year-old Wall Street guy who's just having, you know, just having a wild time living
01:09in the 80s.
01:10I'll miss some, like, violence and stuff. Yeah, there's a bit of, yeah, a bit of blood.
01:14Yeah, he's a psycho.
01:15And he's American.
01:17Are you American or psycho?
01:20I'm not American, no, Tom.
01:22Okay.
01:26Now, this is you in the snow.
01:28Now, we often ask people to send us pictures to show stuff about their exciting life.
01:32Why is this exciting?
01:33I'm in Canada and I'm having such a great time on so much snow, but there is so much that
01:38it starts to melt on my forehead, but as soon as it leaves it, it starts to immediately freeze again.
01:43Do you have any other great travel anecdotes?
01:47I came to Melbourne for the show to have a fun time, Tom.
01:54Hey, Tom.
01:55Now, you're into kookaburras.
01:57I am.
01:57What got you into these giggle chickens?
01:59They're lovely.
02:00They're great birds and I talk to them.
02:03What do you talk to them about?
02:04I answer what they have to say to me.
02:07Oh.
02:08Really?
02:09So can you talk like a kookaburra?
02:11After a few beers, I'm better at it.
02:17Can you give us a sample of your work?
02:20Oh.
02:32I think you're an Australian psycho.
02:36Now, Terry, you've got a collection of cricket bats in your man cave.
02:39I do.
02:40I have to ask, are any of those kookaburras?
02:42They are.
02:43I can see one there.
02:44Why do you have so many bats?
02:46I like them.
02:51Sass.
02:52What is Franklin's lost expedition?
02:54Can you describe it without giving too much away?
02:57It is an expedition to a remote place where many people died.
03:04Yes!
03:06Sounds exciting.
03:07You've got me interested.
03:09So you're into the history, but you like history with, you like it to be grim.
03:13Yeah, yeah.
03:13Yeah, absolutely.
03:14Feels like a bit of an old man topic.
03:16Are you also into red wine and complaining about the woke mind virus?
03:20Yes.
03:21Now, you sent us a photo of preserved meat.
03:22I don't know.
03:24I don't know.
03:25I don't know.
03:52It's actually not French.
03:54Oh.
03:54But originally, when it first started being included in orchestras, it was called the
04:00corps de chasse, so the Frenchness stuck, but most of the innovations in the horn occurred
04:06in Germany.
04:07Mm-hmm.
04:08So it's not French.
04:09Right.
04:09But no one else really cares.
04:11What makes it horny?
04:13Oh.
04:14You know, just have a listen.
04:16It makes everyone horny.
04:17Okay.
04:17Not just itself.
04:20Its official name is the French horn, but to be fair, that's not what serious players
04:25call it, do they?
04:26No, they just call it the horn.
04:27Just the horn.
04:28Mm.
04:28Do you want me to call it the horn or the French horn?
04:29No, no.
04:30The horn is fine.
04:31So as well as having the horn, you're a medical officer in prison.
04:34Yes.
04:34So are most of your call-outs shiv-related?
04:37Not as many as you might think.
04:39Oh.
04:39But there's a lot of...
04:40Oh yes, I punched a wall, but the wall also had teeth, and then there's all these teeth
04:44marks on their hands.
04:45So there's a lot of that.
04:47Wow.
04:47Just calm down.
04:48You're freaking out, Max.
04:51Even Max is going, this is a bit much.
04:55All right.
04:55Let's play.
04:56Punch!
04:58Expert round.
04:59Expert subject.
05:00Win or lose five points.
05:02Steal an answer, double points.
05:05I'll ask each of you five questions on your expert subject.
05:07Right, you get five points.
05:08Wrong.
05:09I'll take five points from you.
05:10The rest of you can steal at any time to get double points.
05:12Let's start with Catherine and her expert subject, the French horn.
05:20We already agreed it shouldn't be called the French horn.
05:22I feel bad about it.
05:23Don't worry, I'll fix it.
05:24Marty!
05:25Can you just...
05:27There we go.
05:30Thanks mate.
05:31Is that better?
05:32The horn.
05:33The great thing is when people tune in now, they're going to stay.
05:39Modern horns evolved from a 17th century instrument known as a corps de chasse.
05:44Named after its use in whativity.
05:46Catherine.
05:47Hunting.
05:50The corps de chasse or hunting horn was for giving signals, so it was designed to be played
05:54with one hand while on horseback.
05:56Can you do that?
05:57Well, I used to be able to.
05:59Oh.
05:59Really?
06:00Well, I didn't actually do it, but I could have.
06:02I used to be able to ride a horse.
06:04I mean, I rode and I could ride without using my hands on the horse.
06:08I get it.
06:09I could have rid my unicycle.
06:12I didn't, but I could have.
06:16While playing, a hornist's left hand typically operates the horn's valves, while their right
06:20hand goes inside the flared section, known as the what?
06:24Can you just feel it back?
06:25Is it a bell?
06:26Correct.
06:27That was a bell.
06:30There we go.
06:31What does the right hand do when it's in there?
06:33It can alter the pitch, and it changes the tuning, and also it can change the sound.
06:38You can do a thing called hand stopping, which makes it sound very different.
06:42Have a listen to this.
06:47Featured on the Star Wars soundtrack, the horn is a key part of the theme for which heroine?
06:52Catherine.
06:53Princess Leia.
06:54Correct.
06:59Celebrated horn player Dennis Brain performed at the Hofnung Music Festival in 1956, playing
07:06what everyday item instead of a horn?
07:08Catherine.
07:10A hose pipe?
07:11Correct!
07:16There's a lot of teenagers in the town where I live who do play the garden hose.
07:22They tend to suck, not blow, Catherine.
07:24I actually have played the hose pipe at a concert too.
07:28And the teapot.
07:29Was there anything smouldering in the end of it?
07:32Not at my, it was at my high school, so.
07:35So yes.
07:35Yeah, well, it should have been.
07:37Should have been.
07:39Last question in your set, Catherine.
07:42Celebrities who played the horn in their youth include Samuel L. Jackson, Ariana Grande,
07:46and which star of the 1996 film?
07:49Max for the steal.
07:50Is it Ewan McGregor?
07:51Correct!
07:52That was nice for you.
07:56Yeah, star of the 1996 film Trainspotting.
07:59How'd you get that, Max?
08:00Um, I really like Trainspotting.
08:03But I just said 1996 film, I didn't get to Trainspotting.
08:06Everyone knows Ewan played the horn.
08:08There's a video on YouTube.
08:12I was actually hoping you would say it was Ewan, and then it would be who else?
08:17And was it, could it have been the man with the snakes on the plane?
08:19And then.
08:20Oh, I see.
08:21Alright.
08:22You've probably overthought it.
08:25Next set of questions is for Sass on Franklin's Lost Expedition.
08:31In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his crew left England in search of the Northwest Passage.
08:36A shortcut from the Atlantic to the Pacific through which other ocean?
08:42Terry for the steal.
08:43Atlantic.
08:45Incorrect.
08:46Sass.
08:47The North Sea?
08:48Incorrect.
08:49It's wide open.
08:50For the steal, it's Max.
08:52The Arctic Ocean?
08:53Correct!
08:54That was right for you.
08:59You're a psycho, Max, who has no concerns for other people's feelings.
09:04They didn't quite make it through though, did they, Sass?
09:06No, they didn't.
09:07No, this is actually where they got stuck, there, and then all 129 of them died.
09:14Aww.
09:16The two ships, HMS Terra and Erebus, became trapped in sea ice.
09:21Despite being fitted with steam engines sourced from what mode of transport?
09:25Sass.
09:25Trains.
09:26Correct!
09:31Scottish explorer John Ray later discovered from local Inuit people that Franklin's starving
09:36crew had engaged in what to do practice?
09:39Cannibalism.
09:39Oh, sorry.
09:41Brits!
09:43Yeah, though, when Ray reported this back to England, people wouldn't believe that the
09:47crew had eaten each other.
09:48They didn't believe him.
09:49No, they didn't.
09:50Franklin's wife, Lady Jane, funded multiple expeditions to uncover her husband's fate
09:55and erected a monument to him in which London church?
09:58For the scale of Terry.
10:00Westminster Abbey.
10:01Correct!
10:02That's a good one for you.
10:06It's an old man subject.
10:09I knew it the minute I saw him.
10:11Terry's right in there.
10:12He can't wait to crack a bottle of red.
10:15Last question in your set, Sass.
10:17Franklin's voyage inspired several artworks including this painting titled,
10:21Man Proposes, God.
10:23Sass.
10:24Disposes.
10:26Man Proposes, God Disposes.
10:30Alright, time now for Terry and Kookaburras.
10:36How do you explore your interests?
10:39Do you take photos of them?
10:40Like, what do you do?
10:42I hear them.
10:45There's a family that locates my neighbour's backyard, so they're the crew I check out every
10:53day.
10:55So you're essentially perving on a Kookaburra family?
10:58Why not?
11:05Kookaburras are part of the Kingfisher family with the largest of the species named for what sound?
11:10Terry?
11:11The Laughing Kookaburra.
11:13Correct.
11:20Their name comes from the Wiradjuri term, Googaburra, which is onomatopoeia for their laughing call.
11:26So the Laughing Kookaburra is basically the Laughing Laughter.
11:29The carnivorous birds hunt by perching and pouncing and are commonly thought to have been introduced
11:35to Tasmania in the 1900s to help control what reptile population?
11:40So it's for the Steel?
11:41Snakes.
11:41Correct.
11:43That one works for you.
11:47Kookaburras in Australia mate for life and have close family groups, nesting in tree
11:52hollows or frequently the mounds of what insect?
11:55Terry?
11:55Termite.
11:56Correct.
12:01Kookaburra calls can be heard in a Tarzan movie as well as The Wizard of Oz, with a modified
12:06call believed to be used as a dolphin sound for the title character of which 60s TV show?
12:12Terry?
12:13Flipper.
12:14Correct.
12:18Dolphins don't have vocal chords, so they don't actually make a sound, so Flipper would
12:22have never made that sound.
12:24So this is a Kookaburra.
12:29And if you speed it up and pitch it up, you get Flipper.
12:36That's not a dolphin.
12:38Can you do a dolphin, Terry?
12:39No.
12:42Last question in your set, Terry.
12:45Known as The Laughing Jackass or Great Brown Kingfisher, The Laughing Kookaburra's early
12:49morning call also led to the nickname, The Bushman's what?
12:53Who is still as Catherine?
12:55Alarm?
12:57Correct.
13:01Yeah, The Bushman's alarm clock.
13:03The snooze button is a shotgun.
13:07Alright, last set in The Expert round, it's Max and American Psycho.
13:13Based on Bret Easton Ellis' violent satire about a yuppie serial killer, the film stars
13:19Christian Bale, whose performance was reportedly inspired by...
13:23Tom Cruise?
13:24Correct!
13:25By which Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is correct?
13:30You can see it, can't you?
13:31I think he describes like there's a real intense friendliness but there's just nothing behind
13:36the eyes.
13:36Yeah, Mary Harron spilled this in an interview saying Bale thought Cruise, yeah, had nothing
13:41behind the eyes, yeah.
13:42Christian Bale read the interview and then he was like, oh well, I guess I'm not going
13:45to work with Tom Cruise.
13:47After coldly breaking up with Evelyn, played by Rhys Witherspoon, Patrick Bateman ends the
13:53conversation by saying...
13:54I have to return some videotapes?
13:56Correct!
13:58By saying I have to return some what?
14:01Videotapes is correct.
14:02Before killing his colleague Paul Allen with an axe, Bateman lectures him on the music
14:07of Huey Lewis and the News, saying the band's undisputed masterpiece is...
14:11Hip to be square!
14:12Correct!
14:13Switches on, hip to be square is correct.
14:16Paul Allen is played by Jared Leto, making the death completely fine.
14:22After seeing Patrick mutilate a woman in bed, the character Christy flees down a stairwell
14:27but is killed when Bateman drops what on her?
14:30Max?
14:30Chainsaw.
14:31Correct!
14:35Last question in your set, Max.
14:37Describing Bale's approach to performance, co-star Chloe Sevigny said,
14:42working with Christian was pretty hard because I didn't know this whole what thing.
14:47Who's the skill itself?
14:48Method?
14:49Correct!
14:50Double points to your own!
14:55Alright, we've looked through their subjects now, let's look through mine.
14:58Tom's round. Tom's subject, multiple choice.
15:03This week I've been really getting into one hit wonders.

15:25The Buggles, D, Pop Music by M.
15:30The answer is C, Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles.
15:40Catherine, you'll love this.
15:41The singer of The Buggles' name is Trevor Horn.
15:47But you'll hate this, his middle name was The French.
15:52Leaving Hollywood after making his film debut as Charlie in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Peter Ostrom went on

17:11Yeah but do you go like this?
17:13Boo.
17:19The answer is B, creating the video game Minecraft.
17:27Last question in my round's worth double points.
17:30Have a listen to this.
17:34You knew it was coming.

18:20Alright, at the end of my round, Catherine you're at the bottom on 20, get over here.
18:32Alright, what do you reckon went wrong?
18:34Too many clams.
18:36That's a French horn term.
18:38Oh, it's a French horn term? Too many clams?
18:40Yeah, it means wrong notes.
18:41Oh, okay.
18:43What would you do differently if you had another shot at it?
18:46I think I needed to handle a serial killer dude differently.
18:52Maybe you could have bludgeoned him with your horn.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Or just sedated him.
18:59You know what this means.
19:00Mm-hmm.
19:24¡Gracias por ver el video!
19:30Wrap it up, play along at home.

20:16Max.
20:17Wind start the fire.
20:18Yes.
20:19Got there just in time.
20:20Time's up.
20:24Sass and Clare, you're both on 40, which means it's time for a bloody hard off.
20:28Hard off.
20:29That's right, only one of you will survive the last.
20:31Just one question.
20:32First of us, it will answer.
20:33If you're right, you're staying.
20:34If you're wrong, you're dead to me.
20:35You ready?
20:35According to a 2024 article from language app Babbel, which language is harder to learn?
20:42Russian or Arabic?
20:44Sass.
20:47Russian.
20:48Incorrect.
20:49The correct answer is Arabic, which means you're dead to me, Sass.
20:52Get over here.
21:00So, Sass, your expedition fell short, so you failed, which means you did well, according
21:06to your expert subject.
21:08Yeah, exactly.
21:08Yeah.
21:09Like the Franklin expedition, I was ill-prepared for the challenge ahead of me.
21:12Yeah.
21:13It ended in cannibalism.
21:15Yeah.
21:17You ready to go?
21:19Yeah.
21:19Okay.
21:20Out!
21:22There she goes.
21:24Into the tundra.
21:27All right.
21:28Only two left.
21:28Who's going to be the hard quiz champion?
21:30Terry and Max, get over here because it's time to play hard quiz.
21:34Final round.
21:35Head to head.
21:36American Psycho versus Kookaburras.
21:40Hard quiz.
21:41Now, there can only be one hard quiz champion who gets to take home the limited edition big
21:45brass mug.
21:46What will you do with the mug if you win, Terry?
21:48Uh, my daughter at primary school, probably year one.
21:52Had the teacher ask what was her favourite place, and that's Carlton Territory, which
21:57is my man's shed.
21:58It's going there.
21:59You could have just said man's shed.
22:04All right.
22:05What about you, Max?
22:06Um, because my sister was on the show and she didn't win, I'm going to give this to
22:09her as a present, just to remind her that I beat her at something.
22:16That's some cold shit.
22:18It's best of five penalty shootout style, harder questions on your expert subjects.
22:22So it's Terry's knowledge of Kookaburras versus Max's knowledge of American Psycho.
22:26Let's play.
22:28Hard!
22:31Terry, life in Kookaburras have strong neck muscles and a long bony ridge along the back
22:37of their skulls, which are used together for what purpose?
22:42I believe it could have something to do with how they kill their prey and how maybe they digest
22:51it, so I would say killing their prey.
22:56Correct.
23:01Yeah, they bash their prey against the perch.
23:05That's how I used to headbang the Pearl Jam back in the day.
23:08Max, Guinevere Turner is credited twice in the film, once for playing Patrick Bateman's
23:14doomed friend Elizabeth, and for what other contribution?
23:19I'm not particularly sure, but I'll say she provided the likeness of her head for one
23:27of the, or the likeness of a decapitated head.
23:31Incorrect.
23:32But the correct answer is screenplay.
23:38Yeah, women can write as well.
23:48Terry, to defend territory, a Kookaburra will fly from its perch to a tree and back, passing
23:54another from its group doing the same thing, in a display with what name?
23:59It's obviously territorial, and I'm not real sure what the term would be.
24:08Uh, let's say buzzin'.
24:13Incorrect.
24:15It's worth a guess.
24:17The correct answer is trapeze.
24:19Yeah, or trapeze flight.
24:21Max.
24:22In a satirical scene early in the film, Bateman and his colleagues compare seemingly identical
24:28business cards.
24:29The second card displayed belongs to David Van Patten, and is described as being eggshell
24:36with what type?
24:38Eggshell with remalian?
24:42Correct.
24:46Terry.
24:48Researchers in 2014 identified a new species of parasite in the faeces of the Laughing Kookaburra.
24:54What part of the host's scientific name lends itself to the new parasite's name?
25:00First, I've heard about parasites.
25:05Let's, uh, have a think.
25:07Um, maybe a tick?
25:12Tick-ish?
25:22Incorrect.
25:24The correct answer is Dacelo.
25:26Yeah.
25:29Yeah, Dacelo is the genus of the Laughing Kookaburra, so they named the parasite Karyospora Dacelo.
25:36Marty?
25:40Thank you, Marty.
25:42Max.
25:42Before telling the audience there is no real me, only an entity, Patrick narrates his detailed
25:48morning routine.
25:49Between removing his ice pack and applying his aftershave lotion, put the rest of his
25:55routine in order.
25:58Talk us through your thinking.
26:00I'm pretty sure it goes water-activated gel cleanser first, and then it's honey almond body scrub.
26:06Um, is this your routine too?
26:11Look at me, Tom.
26:13I don't know.
26:14You could be 55.
26:16On which I'd say it's working.
26:21Oh, this is going to hurt.
26:23Uh, I'm going to put that Herb Mint facial mask as the last, because that's what he peels
26:27off.
26:28Um, I'm going to go with exfoliating gel scrub, because that seems right in my head.
26:34Um, it's trying to remember the scene, but remembering that, what's it called, Christian
26:39Bale looking like that as having a shower is very much distracting my mental processing
26:43right now.
26:45Water activated gel, honey violet.
26:46I want to say it's that.
26:48I want to say water-activated gel cleanser, honey almond body scrub, exfoliating gel scrub,
26:52deep pore cleanser lotion, and Herb Mint facial mask.
26:56Incorrect.
26:58Yeah, he starts with deep pore cleanser, and then water-activated gel cleanser, and then
27:04the honey almond body scrub.
27:07But you're right, he does finish with the facial mask, so you're right about that.
27:11That's also my morning routine too, if you replace all of that with soap.
27:18Marty!
27:22Terry, to assert dominance, two kookaburras from the same group might engage in sparring.
27:27What happens in the act of sparring?
27:30I do believe that they would use their large beak.
27:37I think they would sword fight with their beaks.
27:43Incorrect.
27:44The correct answer is the birds lock beaks and try to twist each other off the perch.
27:49You said they're sort of using them like sword fights, we need to, that they lock beaks together.
27:53There they are, they're actually locking beaks together.
27:56Max, before telling two sex workers that Susudio is a great, great song and a personal favourite,
28:04Bateman name-checks which two other Phil Collins solo songs?
28:09Um, I think it's In the Air Tonight and, I don't think I'm going to get this one.
28:15I think it's In the Air Tonight and, um, I'll say, I'll say Brave.
28:23Incorrect.
28:24Correct answer is In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds.
28:29Terry, according to this book, laughing kookaburras were introduced to several British territories
28:35in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including New Zealand and which other Pacific Island colony?
28:44Whether you consider New Guinea as an island?
28:50Difficult to say.
28:53I will go with New Guinea.
28:55Incorrect.
28:56Correct answer is Fiji.
28:59Yeah, it didn't actually take, though, the Fijian kookaburras.
29:01They were gone after 25 years.
29:03They didn't survive.
29:04And, as for New Guinea, kookaburras, they were already there.
29:08Max, if you get this right, you are tonight's hard quiz champion.
29:11Christian Bale's colleagues were struck by his apparent ability to sweat on command
29:15during the business card scene.
29:17But in 2022, Bale revealed that was an inadvertent side effect of him doing what?
29:25It's...
29:26It's not holding his breath, is it?
29:30Correct, which means you are tonight's hard quiz champion!
29:33All right, Terry, you know what this means?
29:35Yes!
29:37There he goes.
29:43Congratulations, Max, you are tonight's hard quiz champion,
29:45which means he has a big breath tonight.
29:48And he's been signed off.
29:49Thanks for playing hard.
29:52He's American and a psycho.
29:56Congratulations, psycho!
