AJ HoffmanHOST
The wicker book has been made into a movie.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Oh, that's why that article was written then.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Well, Wicker was way down the list after the Minotaurs and stuff, but...
AJ HoffmanHOST
What was
Rob ThompsonHOST
the movie where the woman made...
AJ HoffmanHOST
Something like that? That was a terrible movie, by the way.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Terrible movie.
AJ HoffmanHOST
But yeah, in Wicker, the love interest is a man made of actual wicker.
KayHOST
Listen, I'm both English and Scottish, okay? Anyway, for Angus, I went with, obviously, Alexander Skarsgård as...
KayHOST
The Wicker Husband.
ElleHOST
Oh my God, that's so good.
KayHOST
Because it was so good.
Mark AdderleyHOST
This is like a Last Smith and Jones.
Mark AdderleyHOST
Do you remember when they used to put their faces next to each other and just talk to each other? Yeah, yeah, do you remember that? Anyway, this is a movie review of Wicker.
Mark AdderleyHOST
Wow, you guys are a filthy bunch of naughtiness because this is one of those trailers that I kind of, you know, we don't do as many trailers as we used to do just because we don't have time, but every now and then when we do get time and I get a chance to kind of grab nads.
Mark AdderleyHOST
This was one that just struck me as a strange, odd Olivia Colman I know you love.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
And our daughters were here and a friend of theirs.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
And I said...
Nadia SawalhaHOST
As I came into the room, one of my daughters said to her friend, they're going to see Wicker Man, like we were the
Mark AdderleyHOST
most...
Brett CollinsHOST
I'm a little unclear because maybe it came out earlier in L.A. Whatever.
Brett CollinsHOST
I'm talking about the movie called Wicker.
Brett CollinsHOST
It's good.
Brett CollinsHOST
It's unique.
Brett CollinsHOST
And it makes me want to have sex with a tree.
Brett CollinsHOST
Literally.
Brett CollinsHOST
And that is because, in case you didn't know, this movie Wicker, it's all about Olivia Colman, who stars in the movie.
Brett CollinsHOST
She has this little magical man, played by Peter Dinklage, that makes her a husband made entirely out of wicker.
Isaac RoppHOST
Those are your hot...
Isaac RoppHOST
Oh, and then Wicker Husband? Like, what is that? I've seen that a few places, and I don't understand it.
Isaac RoppHOST
Wicker Husband? Yeah, like Wicker...
Isaac RoppHOST
Apparently, there's like a romantic...
Isaac RoppHOST
Oh.
Chris HowdenHOST
And a tsk, tsk it, a task it.
Chris HowdenHOST
The new movie Wicker centers on a husband who is woven into being by a magic basket maker, and the real-life basket weaving community is showing what it's made of by complaining about what the wicker husband is made of.
Chris HowdenHOST
As it happens, the Friday edition, radio that would have recommended more tender woven care.
Chris HowdenHOST
On Saturday, two weeks will have passed since a catastrophic grass fire swept through a military base in Wainwright, Alberta, engulfing soldiers who were in the middle of a training exercise.

Chris HowdenHOST
We reached her in Oxford, England.
Chris HowdenHOST
A hard man is good to find.
Chris HowdenHOST
That is the tagline for the new romance fantasy comedy drama film Wicker, in which the great Olivia Colman plays a single fisherwoman who visits the village basket weaver, Peter Dinklage, and requests he craft her a husband.
Chris HowdenHOST
With the help of some magic, Wicker Husband, played by Alexander Skarsgård, is born.
Alex Huston FischerGUEST
Can you
Lucy Fenwick ElliottHOST
tell me a bit about, you know, that whole process of working, I mean, particularly on Wicker Husband? What maybe were some of the challenges with that and why was it important to you guys to do it sort of the hard way in some cases?
Alex Huston FischerGUEST
Because it's a movie about people and it's on a human scale and you want, you know, you want to feel the grime and the mud and the dirt and the skin and the fabric texture and all this.
Alex Huston FischerGUEST
So you want the wicker husband to also be real and also be in the room and reflecting the light that's there.
Eleanor WilsonGUEST
It just sounds terrifying to me, so, you know, it's partially just how we like to work.
Eleanor WilsonGUEST
We like to front-load all the
Alex Huston FischerGUEST
thinking and all the work, so it was about a year and a half of R&D and design on the Wicker Husband.
Eleanor WilsonGUEST
Yeah, and similarly, like, just being able to get Weta Workshop on board, gave us so much confidence that it would look amazing because they have such an incredible reputation obviously that they're just not gonna do something that looks bad and that was the

There's absolutely no shame in living out your remaining days alone.
Matt NegliaHOST
Olivia, Alexander, thank you so much for joining me to talk about Wicker.
Matt NegliaHOST
I got to ask first and foremost, what is this costume, makeup, prosthetics look for you, Alexander, made out of? And was there ever a danger of that, like, breaking on set between the two of you? So it's made out of
Alexander SkarsgårdGUEST
Wicker.
Alexander SkarsgårdGUEST
Yeah.
Alexander SkarsgårdGUEST
And it's a hybrid of 3D printed and organic materials.
