GregHOST
And for the last episode, we covered Heavenly Creatures, the 1986 sort of romantic comedy with Bill Conti and Helen Mirren.
GregHOST
Tom Conti.
GregHOST
Tom Conti.
GregHOST
Sorry, Bill Conti is the Rocky composer.
GregHOST
It's a bit bigger than Tom Conti.
GregHOST
And so my first, I only got a chance to listen to the episode today.
GregHOST
And normally, Nicky gives me the opportunity to listen to it before it's released, after he's done all the heavy lifting on the editing.
Philip ClarkHOST
Susan and Hobart, not correct either.
Philip ClarkHOST
Debbie in Marrickville says Nina Conti is the daughter of Tom Conti, not Nick Conti.
Philip ClarkHOST
Okay.
Philip ClarkHOST
Oh, no, I know Tom Conti.
Philip ClarkHOST
Oh, Tom Conti.
Philip ClarkHOST
She's a brilliant ventriloquist.
Philip ClarkHOST
Oh, thank you, Deb.
Jenny EclairHOST
This one was her father in puppet form.
Jenny EclairHOST
We all love Tom Conti.
Jenny EclairHOST
She argues the prize task categories don't suit what she has, which is just the best excuse ever.
Jenny EclairHOST
for not doing particularly well in prize tasks
Jack BernhardtHOST
well oh
Jenny EclairHOST
I'm sorry no so I think Nina got three
Jack BernhardtHOST
Nina got three because um yeah Nina got three because Greg uh enjoys the work of Tom Conti and I will also say obviously Nina's a great uh like impressionist and and like good character everything I loved her impression of her dad it was very it was very sweet and it was just the the thing that she said was oh nina stop it which again very like very relatable um i i really enjoyed it but yes i think three points was probably the max you could do because she's brought in a lot of the um the puppets previously it means that she is the only contestant not to win a prize to ask this series now that chloe is well there's still three more episodes to go
Jenny EclairHOST
okay well let's get to isi and again this really was so isi nobody else no one else could bring in a cutlery platter And this prize task, more than any other prize task that I can recollect, really, really says a lot about these
John RobinsHOST
Hmm.
Dave MastermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's like Nina Conti and Tom Conti, obviously.
John RobinsHOST
Yeah.
Dave MastermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Tom Conti's her dad.
John RobinsHOST
Jeremy Vine and Tim Vine.
Dave MastermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's, that always surprises me.
Alex ShawHOST
'Cause things are now different.
Alex ShawHOST
Set this to Eye of the Tiger instead of Gonna Fly Now, and then at the end have Tom Conti do a louder, more rousing version of Mickey's theme created just for this.
Sharon ShawHOST
Mm.
Sharon ShawHOST
Yeah.
GregHOST
Well, I picked something that has kind of been on my radar.
GregHOST
really really long time actually and i don't know why i haven't picked it sooner it just seems to sort of something else comes in and it has kind of usurped it but i went for the 1986 comedy drama uh heavenly pursuits starring uh tom conti who i think i was thinking it's maybe the first time i've had tom conti on the podcast in something in the podcast i think right
NickyHOST
I think it is, yeah.
NickyHOST
Yeah, which is
GregHOST
Even Tony Curran in the background there.
GregHOST
It's wild.
GregHOST
So Heavenly Pursuits is the story of a special needs teacher, Vic Matthews, played by Tom Conti, who is a teacher at a Catholic school in Glasgow, which is trying to...
GregHOST
It's the...
Stephen MurrayHOST
[laughs]
Matt BrownHOST
... and Tom Conti, which we will come to.
Matt BrownHOST
But just to fill you in, if you don't know about Tilly Norwood, she is the creation of a company called Particle Six Group, and by a sort of sub-company of that group called, I think it's Xicoia.
Stephen MurrayHOST
I tried to find a, a way of pronouncing it and I couldn't find one.
7 MINS LATER
Matt BrownHOST
Okay
Stephen MurrayHOST
... what r- rabbit hole I went down.
Matt BrownHOST
But as part of the promo, I suppose, for Tilly Norwood generally, and also for the film Misaligned, Tilly Norwood was interviewed by Piers Morgan and actor Tom Conti on Piers Morgan's YouTube channel-
Stephen MurrayHOST
[sighs]
Craig NorrisHOST
Just like that.
Craig NorrisHOST
that one is nice and quick nice and quick uh first story from kotaku headlined ai actress tilly norwood glitches out mid-interview and starts speaking cantonese in a friday publicity stop for the ai generated movie misaligned simulated star tilly norwood through some Chinese on Piers Morgan and his acting co-host, or acting friend that was there, joined by, yes, open hire star Tom Conti, where suddenly they were both flummoxed by the... non-human actor they were interviewing suddenly going from English to Chinese, which is really odd, right? So mid-interview, as someone that interviews people, would be a pleasant surprise, or at least a surprise, pleasant or otherwise.
Craig NorrisHOST
If the AI person I was interviewing, in this case, in this story, it's the AI-generated actress that's in an upcoming movie, and the actress is named Tilly Norwood.
Craig NorrisHOST
That's such a Hollywood name.
Tom ContiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So this is the interview here with him.
Tom ContiSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Are they real or are they like you?
Craig NorrisHOST
That's the question Tom Conti's asking.
Craig NorrisHOST
Are they real? It pauses.
Graham O'TooleHOST
[laughs]
Nathan O'ReillyHOST
In the 1989 film, Pauline Collins plays a housewife who enjoys a sexual awakening in the arms of a Greek lover, played by Tom Conti.
Graham O'TooleHOST
I hope this isn't the audio clip.
Nathan O'ReillyHOST
Oh.
LukeHOST
Yeah.
MattHOST
Um, so anyway, in the middle of this interview they asked, uh, it was, it was Piers Morgan and, uh, what's the guy's name? Tom Conti, who's, uh, uh, is he like...
MattHOST
He's so- in the film industry.
MattHOST
I forget his role exactly.
