It just happens to be his birthday today, born in California, in 58.

It's funny because I actually just saw, I watch a lot of movies from the past too, and Sam Rockwell has been around since the early 90s.

I watched a movie with Halle Berry.

Dennis Leary and actually Sam Rockwell in from 1991, only a couple of days ago.

Strictly Business is what it was called, which was a horse in the Melbourne Cup.

So that's why it got my attention, that movie.

And I just thought, oh, I've never seen this.

They

Let's talk about that movie.

Yeah, Primetime has just been released in cinemas.

It's a bit of an awkward and uncomfortable movie to watch.

It Not in a bad way, but just confronting in many ways.

It's about a television show that was called To Catch a Predator.

So this is about the guy who was the host of that show.

It started off as like a, I guess you could say, just a segment on Dateline on the news show, and then it turned into its own reality series.

That's right, yeah.

Um, it started off as like a, I guess you could say just a segment on Dateline on the news show.

movie streaming and showbiz with shane a bassett we do it every sunday morning here in australia overnight uh nocturne is this right a missing persons thriller new series on apple tv called am i saying that right nocturne

Prime Time starring Phoebe Bridges.

Yeah, Phoebe Bridges is actually a really accomplished singer.

She shows her acting in this, but it's Robert Pattinson as well alongside her that's amazing, and I'm pretty sure he's going to get spoken about in awards season regarding this role.

based around a controversial investigative reality show.

It was started on Dateline on NBC, the news show Dateline, to catch a predator where they'd have hidden cameras as well as people with cameras and set people up basically and they think they were meeting someone they probably shouldn't be meeting and then all of a sudden the host would step out and catch them on camera and talk to them.

And they'd either run away or they'd talk, but they'd be in big trouble.

So it was very controversial.

I

So it was very controversial.

It started off like a little sort of small segment that turned into an actual reality show.

I briefly mentioned it

Shane, what about this one, Clara and the Sun?

Yeah, I liked it.

I didn't expect to like it.

It's directed by Taika Waititi, a Kiwi filmmaker who I haven't really enjoyed a lot of his previous films.

They're okay, but he's got this distinct kind of humour and style.

that I've never really enjoyed.

But he's popular in his own circle and has made some movies that have done well at the box office, like the two Thor movies that he did.

Shane.

Shane, what about this one, Clara and the Sun?

Yeah, I liked it.

I didn't expect to like it.

It's directed by Taika Waititi, the Kiwi filmmaker who I haven't really enjoyed a lot of his previous films.

They're okay, but he's got this distinct kind of humour and style and that I've never really enjoyed.

But, you know, he's popular in his own circle and has made some movies that have done well at the box office, like the two Thor movies that he did.

And he's also done Hunt for the Wilderpeople with Sam Neill.

Sam, Russell, Simon and Con will get to you very soon, but we need to talk about a movie called Pressure, Shane.

And the family loved him and he loved the family.

That's right.

Well, this is pretty much what Clara and the Son is.

There's a few tweaks, a few modern tweaks here, but there's a female robot AI played by Jenna Ortega.

Now, Jenna Ortega is a pretty big young actress.

If you haven't heard of her, you might recognise the face, but she's been in quite a lot since she was young and she's still going strong and I think she's a great actor.

So she plays like this AI robot for this family and she ends up getting feelings and connections and it's a pretty good movie, actually.

It goes into cinemas this week.

And the family loved him and he loved the family.

That's right.

Well, this is pretty much what Clara and the Sun is.

There's a few tweaks, a few modern tweaks here.

But there's a female robot AI played by Jenna Ortega.

Now, Jenna Ortega is a pretty big young actress.

If you haven't heard of her, you might recognise the face, but she's been in quite a lot since she was young and she's still going strong and I think she's a great actor.

There's a movie called Pressure, goes into cinemas this week.

The gig was just proper fantastic, so.

Yeah.

Uh, and w- the head and neck cancer, uh, it's just really good that the word's been getting out and, and you can assist people and, and John can use, use that.

Um, and I'm a bit like him.

I, I would've wanted to sorta step back and not...

Um, and sorta wonder why people still listen to me and so forth, but he has such a following, and people love him and, and pretty much proved that this movie, this concert is being-- It's an encore.

I mean, it's getting re-released-

It's, it's made it very accessible for people, um, you know, 'cause you don't need a, a $200,000 SLS desk, you know?

Shane, tell me about Sense and Sensibility.

Well, not a lot to tell, uh, w- what's already been told because this version of Sense and Sensibility is probably, now I'm exaggerating here, but you know, probably about the 250th version that Jane Austen's, uh, out of Jane Austen's book adaptation and there's so many good ones.

I've gotta say over the years I actually didn't think we really needed it, uh, to be redone yet again.

But that story of, um, aristocrats and, and the period English setting of romance and melodrama and, uh, you know, it's a really relatable story of sisterhood as well.

Uh, it just all resonates still.

Never gets old.

But, uh, the new version is pretty good.

What's this one about?

Have I got that right? On Apple TV.

Yeah, Tenzing, it's the name of an explorer.

In this movie, I just thought it was probably worth mentioning.

I saw it the other day.

It's on Apple TV.

A movie about the first expedition up Mount Everest.

Well, the first one that's been sort of documented anyway, I'm sure some untold history might have happened that we don't know about.

It's a new movie in cinemas and it's called Whalefall.

The opening, I think, was last night officially? It was.

It was last night.

I'm currently in Adelaide.

I'm a guest.

So I'm attending as many movies as I can.

It runs for 12 days.

And, yeah, the opening night film was a film called Wild Horse 9, which isn't released yet.

Now, Whalefall, new in cinemas.

Uh, the opening I think was last night officially?

It was.

It was last night.

Um, I'm currently in Adelaide.

Um, I'm a guest.

Um, so I'm attending as many movies as I can.

It runs for 14, uh, 12 days.

Oh

The Social Reckoning, tell me about this one.

It's kind of this...

Well, I wouldn't call it a sequel, it's more of a follow-on to The Social Network, which was released in 2010, so quite some time ago now, uh, about the Mark Zuckerberg, uh, story when he intro- he sort of introduced Facebook and the evolution of that and how it changed everything, uh, from the ground up when he did that.

And now it's many years later.

Um, Jesse Eisenberg, who played Mark Zuckerberg in that movie, was intended on playing this role, but he never came back.

He didn't want anything to do with, with, with the movie, so they had to get someone else.

Uh, Jeremy Strong is the actor who plays Mark Zuckerberg as an older character, and this is basically the story of him going to court about privacy situations, legalities, and all the whistleblowing that went on with someone behind the scenes who was in the company and then told newspapers, and it just went into that side of things.

And what about this movie, Shane? It's called Other Mummy or Other Mommy.

What do we need to know? The Social Reckoning.

Yeah, Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed this.

He wrote A Few Good Men, The West Wing, and this is like a, it's not really a sequel, it's more of a companion film or a follow-on to The Social Network, the story about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook.

This is about a whole lot of things that Facebook did wrong.

And it picks up, I think, many years later, but really interesting.

I think they're going for Oscars because of the acting in it is just outstanding.

But I don't think it's as good as the social network.

Oh, scary film.

What do we need to know? The Social Reckoning.

Yeah.

Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed this.

He wrote A Few Good Men, The West Wing, uh, and this is, like, a sort of...

It's not really a sequel.

It's more of a, a companion film or a follow-on to The, The Social Network, the story about Mark Zuckerberg and, and Facebook.

This is, uh, about a whole lot of things that Facebook did wrong.

Uh, From Italy With Love, I think this is a new Australian movie on Stan.

They're looking at you and thinking, what's this bloke up to? Is this a security risk in this day and age? That's not unusual.

Yeah, yeah, and basically the library was pretty hot at the front, but generally in the other places it was pretty cool.

The radiation, obviously, in trains, buses and that are totally unacceptable by government standards.

And, you know, I work with a couple of hundred scientists in regards to this for children's wellbeing.

But reflecting back on Melbourne, my God, it's just absolute...

One or two, a couple, you know, probably a dozen and a hundred, thousands and thousands and thousands...

The place was chockers, absolutely unbelievable.

reason for no, no, no?

Tell me about this one.

Yeah, well, East of Eden's a John Steinbeck book, very popular novel, and then it was made into a movie called In 1955, starring James Dean, Raymond Massey, among others, classic film.

Haven't seen it for a long time.

It is available to watch on HBO Max, but the new series version of it, we've had another series of it before, I remember, with Jane Seymour.

many years ago, but this one, East of Eden, has got Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott, among other really good actors, filmed in New Zealand, and wonderful, like, storytelling, just all set before the World War I. era and just sprawling families and land ownership and relationships.

And it's all sorts of stuff going on in this series.

They've really spread it out from the novel, added a few things, but the acting and the scenery, and you've got to put your phone down to watch this.

What about Digger with Tom Cruise, which is in cinemas right now? Well, some people

Tell me about this one.

They've really spread it out from the novel, added a few things, but the acting and the scenery.

And you've got to put your phone down to watch this.

It's a seven-episode series.

What about Digger with Tom Cruise, which is in cinemas right now? Well, some people might think this is

Heart of the Beast is a movie in cinema starring Brad Pitt.

Yeah.

One of the best movies.

Well, it's the movie of the month, I reckon.

Uh, it's one of the great performances by Brad Pitt as well, and it's a story of a dog and him, uh, and they're stranded deep in the Alaskan wilderness.

Uh, their, their, uh, dog is from combat, and Brad Pitt's character's also, like, an ex-soldier and Special Forces veteran.

Uh, but they're in a plane crash in Alaska, and they survive it, but they gotta get out of the wilderness.

And, uh, Shane, tell us about this one, What Lies Below.

Yeah,

I think a lot of people might be looking forward to this movie.

It's based around a book by Colleen Hoover, which I haven't read, but I probably wouldn't mind now seeing the movie.

It's my kind of film.

It's a psychological thriller.

It's a mystery and a suspense movie.

It's got a bit of sexual charge in the plot line because it's all about a writer as well, which I always enjoy movies about writers.

One Mile, Chapter 1 and 2, what do we need to know about it?

This is the wonderful John Goodman.

John Goodman plays the president in this, and Tom Cruise is also in it.

This is the new Tom Cruise movie.

And all I'll say, because I'm not going to give too much away, I don't think it's going to do very well at the box office, so I think it's going to be a rare Tom Cruise flop.

However...

It's a movie about an oil tycoon, a very rich one and very much pretentious one, played by Tom Cruise.

And he's digging and he hits a plate, one of the plates under our earth, and it causes a huge, huge environmental problem.

One Mile, Chapter 1 and 2, what do we need to know about it?

We love her, don't we? What's going on with Kate?

Oh, I very much do like Cate Blanchett.

She's one particular actor that if I see her name in a movie, especially lately, the last few years, quite an alternative kind of actress in many ways, makes some unusual choices, not always the same roles.

She's won an Oscar before, of course, for Blue Jasmine a while ago now.

But yeah, she's on stage in London.

It's like the National Theatre's production of a show called Electra Persona.

And it's a story, well, I don't know a lot about it other than it's two people on stage, her and another actor, and they toss a coin and they decide who they're going to play on the night.

Heart of the Beast is a movie in cinema starring Brad Pitt.
