started watching I had to give up on it as well I loved the original and to be honest it came out in a time when I was of an age where I was only into what was then described as chick flicks and yet everybody loved this because Swayze had the ability to be that kind of swarthy leading man as well as the rough tough you know kind of fighting like I'm not sure of Gyllenhaal he's very good at the rough top you know what I mean but I don't know can he pull off the kind of you know heart sensitive kind of thing that Swayze did that you know get that character so it's balanced you've seen it in other films rather than making a new one do you know when you see other films whereby the character is really really tough but they're sort of reluctant to be drawn into confrontation and they can do it really well he doesn't do it in this very well it's hard to describe it's like you go well why are you sitting there the paying you five hundred could of a week to sort these fights out and you're just sitting watching on with a smirk on your face it's just not it doesn't present you exactly and I kind of I've got about 10 minutes into the Connor McGregor part of the film you know the action is pretty good but it just it's it's OT it's OTT and none of it makes a great deal of sense and it could be one of those films for Nula that people say if you've seen Roadhouse and you say it's an opportunity to plug the original you say forget Roadhouse go and watch the original because it's really good so it could be one of those that gives that film Amazon would have been better off to dig it out of whatever file it's sitting in and get the dust off and stick that back up on its on its platform because it was brilliant like an amazing cast and everything it really was I'm gonna of course forget the guy's name Sam something is the other guy that was in it with them but it was amazing so it was really really good the original is fantastic there was no need to make another sometimes they sometimes you like to see what they do with them when they make remakes of them but bring up the original and just let people see what it's supposed to be like yeah and I'm in the situation where I haven't seen the original so I'm not I'm not putting this one down because oh it didn't match the expectations the first but I think Michael this was a stream streaming first film and I do worry about that a lot of them are you know they throw a lot of money at them and there's big explosions and big actors and they're a lot of the time pretty poor yeah they're not great yeah like I'm thinking of that that Ryan Reynolds one the what is it read remember there's there's another one on the way that wasn't terrible but yeah it wasn't fantastic it wasn't fantastic either yeah it just as a Ryan Reynolds fan what did you think a red notice for Lola did you enjoy it yeah no sadly even as a Ryan Reynolds fan I disagree and it should have been amazing because it was I love Ryan Reynolds I love the rock and it didn't really it's for the when you list those names it should have been awesome yeah I was it was Wonder Woman good oh what's good oh yeah yeah yeah but she's in a lot of things yeah but the three of them together it should have been fantastic but I don't know now maybe it sets it up I'm still going to watch the second moment when it comes out but I think there's going to be three yeah they've said three yeah I may have watched it as well I mean I don't know we'll see what's going on look at you you're all kind of indifferent since Congress sort of like you know okay keep your calls and comments coming 08 660 25000 best of luck to Abby Harkin at her national semi-final about this morning at the national stadium in Dublin let us know how Abby got on it's

morning to comedian Chris Kent who is performing in on green on theatre tomorrow night at 8 p.m. good morning Chris good morning how are you good to have you on the show quite a run from Cork the rebel county all the way to letter Kenny for a show it is yeah absolutely it better be worked at now I'm expecting huge things you know as are as are the audience Chris yes yes look there as responsible as I am you know yeah it takes you to tango come here and you've been at the comedy game for quite some time now is it 10 12 years that you would call yourself officially a performing comedian yeah I would say I mean I started when I was I started about 19 years ago and I did it full time for about 12 years actually and then I took a little break a sort of a fourth break I suppose with the pandemic and then I'm sort of back down back on the road now for the last two years again so yeah long time very very depressed when you think about how long I'm doing this no that's fantastic won't you hear how long I've been doing this nonsense for Chris in terms of just you know I know you love going out in the stage meet your audience and all that kind of stuff but I was just I was watching the show last night and I was thinking the life of a comedian in this country versus the likes of England in terms of opportunities you know it can be very hard I think in Ireland to break into the TV scene here or what have you and I was watching some of the panel shows you know there's a plethora of panel shows on in Britain and Channel 4 Channel 5 Dave and all of those type of stuff and I was just thinking you know you get yourself a bit of a name then you get yourself in the telly and one thing follows another there's not really that option for for comedians some breakthrough to the British TV scene of course Chris but it can feel like a glass ceiling at times can it do in the doing the circuit in Ireland absolutely yeah absolutely for years and years it did feel like that to be honest with you with the TV stuff but magically now you don't need it anymore because you know most of most of the comedians in Ireland were not depending on TV anymore it's purely down to your own following and your social media and that is after just changing the game completely to be honest with you it's probably more beneficial to you than any of the the UK TV is to have a strong social media following yourself you know what I mean there you go that's interesting yeah yeah literally I mean this tour that I'm doing now is is just so much bigger than anything else I've ever done and it's all down to myself sort of filming and producing my own shows and then cutting them up afterwards and putting them all online and basically finding an audience you know and people find me and it's kind of snowballs like that so the TV is great and it would be fantastic I wouldn't say no to it but it's a real relief at the moment now not to have to you know I'd kind of half given up on it anywhere but it's a real relief to just say I really don't don't need it at all yeah you're the master of your own yeah you're the master of your own deputy yeah a destiny and an independence as well so the show you bring into letter Kenny tomorrow night is back at it and your style is it that you is it well how do you describe your style it draws on your real life experience yeah I would say it's storytelling a lot of people would say it's deadpan I think you know it's storytelling deadpan I like kind of I like the hour I like I like doing my own shows so I start to get to take my time and build up these routines you know that you don't necessarily get to do in the shorter club sets yeah I don't know it's very hard to describe your own style it's a bit weird as a comedian to describe to describe yourself you know yeah of course it is but you do draw on you do draw back at it I mean I think that the title actually really tells its tale doesn't it yeah exactly no I draw my everyday life and it's about to be honest with you it's about going full time in the comedy again taking the risk and going for something that you love you know the means so it was actually harder this time around because the last time I became a full-time comic was in 2009 when there was a recession and I was basically I couldn't get any work so I was kind of pushed rather than jumped from my day job you know I couldn't get any work so and I happened to be doing comedy at the time whereas this time around I you know I really had to hand in my notice there's a lot of demand I could have easily kept my job as an electrician but at the end of the day it's kind of like not what I wanted to do you know so I really I really just that's kind of what the show was about about just just going for it anyway you know brilliant okay listen it sounds great the brilliant thing about on Green on Theatre too that attracts the best talent from all around the country so we're delighted you're making the way up from Cork and we look forward to well you tomorrow night tickets are available not many though so get on it right now it's there's only a few yet yeah that's it Chris Kent performing at on Green on Theatre tomorrow night from 8pm so what a great way to spend your Saturday night good stuff Chris safe journey up wouldn't love to see you there thank you thank you bye bye Chris our pleasure right the remake of Roadhouse was good but nothing is ever as good as the original movie or characters but you see I'm coming at it Michael whereas I didn't see the original and it still was poor if that makes sense okay Sam Elliott gravel voice himself sexist voice alive Sam Elliott's brilliant yeah okay yeah I love Sam Elliott that's who you were referencing in the original he was yeah I think Patrick Swayze's brother in it if I remember correctly yeah which would be a rare rarity in all in all reality haha in fairness it would I saw her on our phone I know she's googled it Ghostbusters I know Ghostbusters Michael yes we flagged this didn't we and you haven't seen it we went to see it myself for a little went to see the new Ghostbusters movie and I also went to I went went nowhere I watched the other one at home because the first one from a couple years ago first Paul Rudd one is on Apple TV and that's Ghostbusters after life so that was the one which brought new characters into the franchise so I watched them as sort of a double bill middle of last week so that one first as I say which is on Apple TV very much enjoyed it I would have been a fan of Ghostbusters back in the 1980s did not like the 2015 reboot and this one then returns to the original timeline and just brings new younger characters in I thought it was great fun I thought it really set up the new characters very well it did the threat aspect well so you believe that these characters were a jeopardy but you were still having to laugh and I like those kind of movies where you're able to laugh along but you're thinking oh okay maybe maybe log or wrong maybe they'll all die but they won't really it's a fantasy comedy then we went to the cinema that same night to see the newest iteration which would be the fifth of the Ghostbusters franchise this one is Frozen Empire this one is a different kettle of fish again it's Paul Rudd and it's the kids again because it's all a newer generation but it mixes and matches and brings back the familiar faces from the 1980s version it's the critics have not embraced this one to the same degree that they embraced the first one the first one has 64 percent on Rotten Tomatoes but this one has 43 and the critics are all saying much the same thing that myself and Falula said after watching it it's slightly overstuffed it's got a lot of characters not just the ones from the movie a couple years ago but it introduces like you see Patton Oswald is brought in as a character who gets a couple of key scenes you see the various people added to the mix and for me it felt like too many people like they were really trying to put everybody and everything into it trying to bring a lot of comedians the chaotic very chaotic and story kind of was put on the back burner a little bit some of the characters from the first movie that they brought back I kind of thought they didn't serve the story this time around now is it not a passing of the Patton I don't know there is an element to that to some degree because you get to see Bill Murray and that crew more in this one but it's it's not that it's by the time you get to the climax and no spoilers here but the time you get to the climax there's a large group of people standing around I mean there's a large I mean it's not just the old crew and the new crew but again they bring in like a lot of new characters that are you know they're just in for this story there's a guy brought into it and he's sort of got a sort of like I don't want to say too much but he's got a sort of a superpower that kind of plays into things and I kind of wondered gosh do we need do we need that you're a bit of an outlier because you referenced the the score from critics but the audience seemed to love it for nearly 84 percent of people and a a lot of people would have seen this over Easter it chimed with them I know it's a strange one because I agree with Michael I really loved the first one and I did enjoy this something you wouldn't enjoy it but if you're kind of taking a critical eye to it it's like that it's like the story kind of lost a bit purely because there was so many people in it they you know like as he said about the end of the thing when they were you know as in all of these things there's a the big kind of fight scene or the final battle and in the final battle I don't know all they fit in the thank God the white screen you know how the firehouse was always very narrow yeah 25 of them standing around in it there was a lot of them like it was yeah and none of the performances were bad it's not that you'd say oh that was a terrible performance but like Pat Nozwell's in it and he picked a very quirky person in it and I can't think of the who you know Nonjiani he's yeah from the Eternals again a great performer I mean a really great performer he had very good performances in it but just but do we need that character in this film was my feeling like it's another character I think the problem was with it is because there were so many people in it you didn't know enough about them so you didn't really care about them you know I think in these things you know it needs that little bit of heart is it a franchise that needs just to be let go at this stage do you think oh I would say there's life in it I would say if they if they learn their lessons for the next movie and return to a smaller but no I mean that one from a couple of years ago was great for it right okay was great fun and I mean there's a new younger cast and I would love to see them get in you know I'd love to see those kids kind of grow up and and you know you know I yeah I'd like to see another couple of movies all right it's okay I know sorry now I think Michael was and I were talking when we left to see them and we're saying maybe it's the middle of a trilogy yes they may be signed up for three and sometimes when it's a trilogy they they throw a lot of stuff at it you know the way just to establish who they're keeping in who they're not keeping and then you'll know in the next one exactly who you know survives and well with all that considered Fnula what are you giving it out of 10 well I'm apparently going to go see it again over the weekend with my niece so I'm going to give it a decent size I enjoyed it I love the ghostbusters I probably would have given it about a seven seven and a half oh okay I think it's enjoyable it had a few jumps it had all that kind of elements in it but in terms of the threats and fear would you age it what would you uh say it's suitable for oh well I mean it's I had been thinking previously that I would bring six or seven year olds with me which you might do to other things but you wouldn't bring them to this it does have that kind of 12 or maybe 10 12 12 so it is 12 and I would say yeah you'd want to be about 10 12 you know you want to be at least that kind of and it depends on the kid as well Mike Michael what would you give it out of 10 I'd give the one from a couple of years ago a solid eight because that was great fun but I'd bring this one down to a six because it was okay but I wouldn't be as enthusiastic if they had been flipped if I had seen this one if this had been the first one I would have been like oh that franchise is is dead right but with a hope that the next one's a 10 pick it back up again

new andrew scott thing on netflix did you see that what's that andrew scott is it a show or film yeah it's a new show that's on the netflix it is bit ripply you know oh yes yeah yeah yeah yeah andrew scott plays ripply but i i barely got through the first episode so i wasn't ready to be able to chat about it yet i have to go back to him i love andrew scott and you know he was nominated for a lot of awards there for that movie that he did recently but this is the they've shuffled in black and white and i feel like they may have gotten a little bit excited about themselves no no it is getting a lot of play so it'll be interesting if the listeners have watched it let me know should i bother or will i just leave it i stuck with the dairy girls team and i went with renegade now which is on disney oh okay and in renegade now it is this the it's new to disney last week it's great and i really enjoyed it it's got louisa harland sorry i was just looking down to get her name and there's a couple of shows on disney that i'm watching actually that i'm really enjoying but the renegade now is louisa harland and she kind of played the cousin on on dairy girls and anybody who has been able to know she was daft and she was all coming up with crazy theories but the in this she plays a a young girl who is after coming back from kind of following the drum as they used to say back in the 1700s she comes back from war to home and what we're not really sure what's happened to her but she has been and visited by a spirit which is played by nick mohammad from and ted lasso and this gives her nearly supernatural powers and and she gets accused of a crime and then it's all about her revolving and evolving around the way there's some fantastic actors in it i'm really enjoying it i sat down to kind of watch one or two for this just so that i'd have a flavor of it and i'm now six out of the eight in so my my going to bed early got completely destroyed by it but it's really enjoyable it's like each one is about between 45 and 50 minutes you know disney have a tendency to never have every episode for the same amount for the same length of time it's a weird concept that they have but i don't know it's in lots of the shows that they do but um yeah very enjoyable i really i really enjoy it and i definitely recommended people and it does i mean has a little bad language but it you know and there is obviously a little bit of fighting in it but there's no kind of blood or go or you could sit down with kind of again like we're saying ghost bus three age kind of like 10 12 as long as you don't mind them here and you know few bad words you could definitely sit down and um you know so far it's days anyways it's kind of interesting that you added to the review in that i've no disney is spending an awful lot of money at the moment seemingly and they've changed their design a little bit to make the argument that it's not just kids telling that there's adult stuff there there's blood and bad language and a bit of hanky panky if you know what i mean so they're obviously trying to not rebrand themselves but to broaden their broaden their horizon that people don't just think oh yeah i mean this is a great show but also a great show i was watching on is death and other things man deep tanking is it and Michael probably knows violet bean she was in one of the marvel concepts back in the day but it's it's very dark it's very you know it's kind of like a murder mystery type of a thing and all about you know man deep tanking plays supposedly the greatest detective in the world kind of an entity and it's very sort of back and forth but they're doing lots of older stuff you know along with murders in the building stupid things like that you know so they are trying to cover did that man deep tanking thing did you finish it did you wrap up the season or did you i did yeah i wasn't sure about it in the beginning but actually by the time i got to the end of it i really enjoyed it because it's not second series in it it's not getting yeah they pulled the plane on it so it was cancelled this week but i was it's interesting so it's no way yeah oh i actually enjoyed it by the end the first one or two was a bit was i wasn't sure about it but by the time i actually watched it to the end i really enjoyed it halo on paramount michael yes halo on paramount i've been looking for a good action show for while i was drawn to this because of some of the people involved in it kyle killen is a guy a producer and writer a great show years ago called awake with jason isaac's i loved it it was about a cop who was kind of trapped between two realities and steven kane was the guy behind one of my favorite action shows of the last 10 15 years a show called the last ship which was about a post apocalyptic world and there was a naval ship that was sailing the seas basically trying to save the world and it had brilliant brilliant action sequences i thought it was a fantastic show so i thought right halo i know it's a game i don't play the game i'm not a gamer but i thought if kyle killen and steven kane are behind this show it's got to be a good action show so i dived into season one there back in the spring back in february and thoroughly enjoyed it it delivered the action that i was looking for but not in every episode there was episodes that were very story driven that had no action so basically the story is we're far distant future we've got a a situation where there's like a federation that rules the the galaxy but they rule kind of with it an iron fist iron thumb and they have these super soldiers that kind of are sort of their enforcers and they're not very well liked in some of the outlying planets into this situation comes mysterious powerful aliens who start raining death and destruction down on people so now the population find that they're kind of caught between two evils but they're kind of going to support i suppose that the soldiers that they've previously been rebelling against and the focus of the series is one in particular Pablo marcas is the name of the guy he plays master chief petty officer john 117 and he's our protagonist he's our hero and he finds himself over the course of the first season linked to a mysterious object which may reveal things about his own past and may give him powers beyond the scope of any normal human being so it delivers the action it delivers an epic size science fiction storyline involving the threat to the entire galaxy i got him i wanted to watch it because i wanted a good action show and i like good sci-fi action shows and there's nothing else that i have that fits that bill also natasha mackalone is in this and i'm a big fan of her she's a big huge dunny gall connection haven't spent many years here i think a family still is home here yeah she's um now i first saw her in revelations with bill pulman back in the early naughties and then she was on californication as david decovney's ex-wife fantastic actress there's a case to be made for saying she's the best thing about this show she really gives a great performance ambiguous or morally challenged scientist she's the one responsible for making john 117 who he is but her without saying too much her motivations are not as pure as they might seem she seems quite manipulative it delivers the action it delivers on story it's got a a book he would bind is in this one of the coolest guys on the planet he's i love that guy he was on fargo's where i first seen him and he gets an excellent part in this as an x one of the you know one of john's soldiers he was a guy who who escaped from the boot camp years ago i'm loving this show when i'm giving a good solid eight maybe nine nine out of ten i like the action and i'm all set to watch season two and this one is on xbox permanent and i've already played halos for xbox orientated game i'm a playstation person i know that yeah yeah yeah just a bit of idle information just a bit of information you know what i mean it's content i'm the same as you i'm not a gamer no interest well i am a gamer i just don't have an xbox i have a playstation does that make you one of the cool gamers for me it does it's like apple versus android xbox versus playstation do you know that kind of stuff i try and convert people as i go through life how does that go for you terrible righty oh listen that's great stuff and i'm just watching queen of the south has started again it's like an ever you watched it before yeah yeah watch three or four episode series but it's it's like watching it again i don't know sometimes i wonder you know do you get that finula what's your memory like for stuff like i'm watching it uh you're asking you're asking finula how long is the second year who are you and where is the real greg hughes that was a rhetorical question no but you know like it's it's good like i'm enjoying it because it's it's it's also it is you know it's there's stuff in it for people that like all different stuff it's an actiony thing though isn't it i mean there's action no it's more it's a gritty drama i'm more it is yeah yeah yeah gritty drama she's a she's a crime boss isn't she no not yet oh okay but i presume she's going to elevate her i thought you said she just find herself caught up in in the in the cartels and you can see i hate when that happens oh my god it's on netflix it's actually a really good show for someone who's looking for something long for just want to go get some milk and bread and cheese and then you're caught up in the cartels that you're all friday gone i tried to sort of watch doom the first doom dune sorry because the dune tunes in the cinema and it was like when you were explaining
