Apex

So, uh, Taron Egerton, another story.

So, uh, you know this guy from Rocketman, he played Elton John, The Kingsman, or even that new movie Apex, um, that was on Netflix with Charlize Theron.

It was filmed-

Really good

If this is your first time listening, as you just heard, we're a horror podcast from around the world.

This week we were talking about the film Apex, currently streaming on Netflix.

And yeah, if this is your first time listening, I already said that.

Welcome to the show.

So she's not reacting for the first time, but she is reacting to them because they have come up in popular media.

And this particular episode, she was reacting to Go by the Chemical Brothers.

Can you guess why? It's because it's the song that is featured on the film that we're talking about this week, Apex.

So she goes through, she reacts about the song, how it builds up, how she could tell...

Is that monosodu-sodium glutamate?

Oh, people are texting in saying, "Do not watch Apex on, uh, Netflix."

Oh.

What's that?

It'll put you off biltong for life.

Oh, why?

"Watch Apex on Netflix, don't eat the biltong." Oh, no.

What are you talking about?

But, you know, you obviously have great fun doing it because I know as well.

I think the last time we spoke, you were ferrying a movie crew in and out for the movie Apex, which I actually saw on Netflix not that long ago.

No, it's not actually a bad – Charlize Theron's in it, the psycho fella Edgerton, where he plays a psycho in it, and it's not a bad sort of a film, actually.

Did you ever see it? Like, that was what you were talking about last time, eh? Yeah.

Yeah, it's a bit out the gate.

Yeah, so talking about last time, when they first turned up, I thought we were doing a budget doco, but then it ended up being a Netflix movie.

Yeah, it got put online not that long ago, and the movie just took off.

It got number one on Netflix, and I think it's had the most views this year, like 40 million views or something like that.

Would he happen to be the director of Everest? He is indeed.

He also recently directed Apex.

I was really.

That was Taron Egerton in

There was a dog rescue that she facilitated earlier in the year that ended up attracting global interest.

She's also worked for the film crew of the hit Netflix movie Apex as well, flying them in and out of some pretty interesting locations.

We talk about West Coast tourism and a whole bunch of other things, hunting as well over on the coast.

So Lily Newton to join the program, plus Christy Wright will join us as well, the new Executive Director of the Fairlight Foundation, taking over from good friend of the show, Laura Coote.

I guess you see it all there.

But, you know, you obviously have great fun doing it because I know as well.

I think the last time we spoke, you were ferrying a movie crew in and out for the movie Apex, which I actually saw on Netflix not that long ago.

No, it's not actually a bad – Charlize Theron's in it, the psycho fella Edgerton, where he plays a psycho in it, and it's not a bad sort of a film, actually.

They look

like the teeth Taron Egerton has in his film Apex with Charlize Theron.

If you know, you know.

It looks like someone didn't get braces in year seven when they needed it, you know? Don't you think with the teeth? He's got the same

Why is that on my list then? It's called By Any Means.

Well, it is the major film that is out this week.

But yes, for some reason, despite people being able to go and see it in cinemas right now, they've put a review embargo on it for 7pm.

And because I did have an event screening, I did sadly have to agree to that stipulation.

So this is based on true events, real people, to a degree, obviously, as always, they take some liberties.

It's set in the 60s in Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement.

The film is centered around a young FBI agent played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

He's been in lots of things.

Two out of five, yeah.

Um, my next movie was Apex.

Yes.

Another streaming movie.

Yeah.

Well, let's start with your, then.

What, what did you think of Apex?

There, yeah.
