00:02 - Hello and welcome to Screen Battle,
00:14 your guide to what to watch.
00:16 We'll be tuning into hours and hours of TV
00:18 so we can tell you what to switch on
00:20 and what's to be avoided.
00:22 I'm your host, Kelly Crichton,
00:23 and as ever, our resident TV critics,
00:25 Stephen Ross and Benjamin Jackson are here.
00:28 Praying, praying for January to end soon,
00:31 overcoming illness and exhaustion and all sorts of things.
00:34 So, solidarity everybody.
00:36 Remember, if you wanna see our exhausted faces,
00:41 you can head over to Freeview Channel 276 Shots,
00:44 which is brought to you by a network of journalists
00:45 across the country who are transforming stories
00:47 at the heart of your community into great TV.
00:50 You'll find true crime stories, football news and analysis,
00:52 plus coverage of lifestyle, TV, film, and much more.
00:56 If you haven't tuned in before,
00:57 each week we'll be chatting about what we're watching
00:59 as well as looking more closely at a new program
01:01 or something making the headlines in the deep dive.
01:04 This week, Stephen brings us
01:05 the much anticipated Masters of Air.
01:08 Finally, we go back to the future
01:09 to tell you about a program we may have,
01:11 you may have missed when it first aired our stream.
01:15 This week, Benji takes us to the wacky world of Twin Peaks,
01:18 a cult classic for sure.
01:21 But first, we'd like to talk about
01:22 what everyone has been watching recently.
01:24 So, Stephen, over to you.
01:26 And, magic, Stephen's got a new color top on.
01:31 (laughing)
01:32 Is it because I was wearing such a nice brightly colored?
01:35 - No, I just thought the sort of color palette on my end
01:38 was a bit gray and washed out.
01:40 - Oh, that was me going out about everything.
01:43 - This is the only color item of clothing I own,
01:45 actually, everything else is navy, gray or black.
01:48 - Oh, you're bringing it.
01:50 Okay, sorry, over to you, Stephen.
01:52 Tell us what you've been watching.
01:53 - Yeah, so as I said last week,
01:55 I'd started the Apple TV free trial.
01:58 - Oh, yeah. - And I was hoping
01:59 to milk it and watch a load of films on there.
02:02 In the end, because I was watching
02:04 Masters of the Air for the--
02:05 - Kind of took over. - I didn't really
02:08 get much chance, but I watched another Apple TV
02:12 Second World War drama, and it was a movie,
02:16 again, with a Tom Hanks connection called Greyhound.
02:20 So Tom Hanks plays--
02:21 - What's Rayhound, like a name?
02:23 - Greyhound. - Oh, Greyhound, sorry.
02:25 - Greyhound, okay. - Which is the name of this,
02:28 well, I assume it's the name of the ship that they're on,
02:30 and Tom Hanks is the captain.
02:32 - Okay. - And he's essentially
02:34 trying to cross the Atlantic, and his job is to help
02:38 defend the sort of flotilla of Allied ships
02:43 as they're crossing the Atlantic through the U-boat peril
02:47 and the German submarines. - Okay.
02:49 - And I watched it with my friend,
02:52 he's also quite discerning about movies,
02:55 and we both just thought it was,
02:57 for the first half, laughably quite bad.
03:00 And there's no sound in the background,
03:03 like someone just shouts through a doorway
03:06 from outside the ship, and you can just hear them.
03:08 - Quite clearly, yeah. - And I said,
03:10 turned to my friend and said,
03:12 "The sound on this is terrible."
03:15 And he said, he was just looking at it,
03:20 and he said, "Yeah, it won the Oscar for best sound."
03:23 - No. - And like, I mean,
03:26 maybe it's not-- - That's horrendous.
03:28 - I think it's only, you know how like
03:30 when you notice something
03:30 and then you can't stop noticing it,
03:32 but I sort of thought, A, the sound is just terrible,
03:35 like it's very difficult to hear a lot of what they're saying
03:37 because they're mumbling,
03:39 and then the sound doesn't seem to make sense.
03:41 And then also the like dramatic sounds,
03:43 like the Jaws music, that kind of thing,
03:45 just seemed very amateur and obvious,
03:50 and like, oh, something's about to happen now
03:52 because it's going, (imitates drum roll)
03:55 I thought, this is amateur hour.
03:56 And he was like, "Yeah, no, it won best sound."
03:59 The second half was a lot better,
04:01 but I think Tom Hanks definitely phoned it in,
04:03 like it wasn't a strong-- - Weird.
04:06 - It felt like the movie,
04:10 that it should have been another Captain Phillips,
04:14 and it just had none of the like emotion.
04:17 We didn't care about any of the characters.
04:19 I don't think I could tell you any of their names.
04:21 None of them had any personalities.
04:23 It was pretty bad,
04:25 and it was one of the first Apple TV original movies
04:27 as well, so it wasn't a great-- - That's what I was gonna say,
04:28 I feel like I have no knowledge of this thing whatsoever.
04:33 I've never heard of it, so, you know,
04:35 I think you might be on to the fact
04:36 that it's a bit of a lemon.
04:39 What do you think, Benji, have you heard of it?
04:42 - I don't know, controversial as it sounds,
04:44 kind of a little bored of Tom Hanks these days.
04:47 - He's kind of everywhere, isn't he?
04:48 He's got his finger in so many pies, it's like, okay.
04:51 - At some point, he's gonna bump into another version
04:54 of himself in all these world movies,
04:56 'cause he's been in every aspect of the Second World War.
04:58 - Yeah, that's quite funny.
04:59 Maybe you should write that film, Stephen.
05:00 Maybe you should do it.
05:01 It'll be a bit of a being John Malkovich spade-off.
05:05 - You could call it like Big Two.
05:07 Big Two, cruise control.
05:09 - Okay, so a major avoid on Greyhound and Apple TV.
05:14 I'm sure lots of people will be avoiding it
05:15 'cause they won't have Apple TV anyway, but fair enough.
05:17 (laughing)
05:18 Looking forward to hearing about Master of Zavera
05:20 in a while, though,
05:21 and I know you spend a lot of time watching that, so cool.
05:23 Okay, Benji, tell us, you've not been well,
05:25 so you've probably been doing a little bit more viewing
05:28 than the rest of us.
05:29 Tell us, what have you been watching?
05:31 - Somewhat.
05:32 I mean, when you have a mouth flu, like I've had,
05:35 you know, oh yeah, yeah, one eye peering
05:38 underneath the cover, drinking Lame Sip after Lame Sip,
05:41 you kind of get a bit feverish.
05:45 You kind of get a bit weird.
05:46 So my viewing habit was watching the entirety, once again,
05:51 of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
05:53 - That's just, I can understand.
05:56 - I got into it because there was a documentary
06:00 called The Brony Movie, which just basically followed
06:03 the whole subculture of bronies
06:05 when it was peak kind of fandom back in,
06:09 like, would have been late 2000s, early 2010s.
06:13 And I went into the series thinking,
06:17 this is just gonna be childish and trivial.
06:20 No, it's actually brilliant.
06:22 It was like old school Simpsons
06:24 that had like a bit of a morality play going on.
06:28 So I enjoyed re-watching that.
06:31 For anyone that wants to know how I watched it,
06:33 I'll out myself now, I own it on DVD.
06:36 So- - Benji, I love it.
06:38 - I brought it with me.
06:39 I brought it over with me from New Zealand,
06:41 along with my wife and my personal belongings.
06:44 - I have to say, I have such respect
06:46 for your massive genre spanning likes, like, good for you.
06:51 Yeah, and so hard recommend there.
06:55 So that's good, especially if you're in.
06:56 - Oh yeah, definitely hard recommend.
06:58 You just need a bit of escapism.
06:59 And then on the flip side of that,
07:01 I ended up also making time to watch Bob Hoskins
07:05 in The Long Good Friday,
07:06 which was a 1980s British gangster movie
07:09 that heavily influenced the genre.
07:13 I mean, if you go and watch The Long Good Friday,
07:16 which is basically about what effectively
07:19 has become Canary Wharf in London in the '80s
07:21 and a British mobster, one of the, you know,
07:24 with Bob Hoskins, "Oh, I wanna get into the old,
07:27 "the building game.
07:28 "I'm tired of being a thug.
07:30 "I just wanna get and be in proper British
07:32 "and, you know, get into industry again."
07:34 And then you go watch Rock and Roller by Guy Ritchie,
07:37 which was basically about a British mobster
07:40 who had his fingers in many pies regarding developments.
07:43 And that last scene in the taxi has been one
07:48 that has been frequently,
07:50 and it's up there with how the Untouchables,
07:54 the iconic scene with the pram
07:56 that goes down the staircase,
07:58 and how that was borrowed from Battleship Potemkin.
08:01 There's my media course knowledge coming through there.
08:05 But it was one of those scenes that everybody has taken
08:09 or derived from the whole, "I'm in the back of a taxi.
08:12 "I'm in trouble, and I've just got this contemplative look
08:14 "on my face." - Yeah, yeah, it's like--
08:16 - And I love Bob Hoskins. - Yeah.
08:19 - I only knew Bob Hoskins through, originally,
08:22 Super Mario Brothers 2. - Yeah.
08:24 Is he still alive? - Yeah.
08:26 - He came-- - Is he?
08:27 - No, no, no, he died. - Oh, did he?
08:28 - He died 2017 or '14. - Oh, okay.
08:32 - But I remember going back to watching
08:34 Super Mario interviews he did,
08:36 and I will always remember the classic comment of,
08:39 "Oh, my son showed me, he's just this character
08:42 "that jumps up and down in a video game.
08:44 "Why, I once played King Lear."
08:46 And that was the end of the interview, so--
08:48 - I love it, I love it.
08:49 Mario is King Lear, love it.
08:51 I'm on board for that. - Yeah.
08:52 - Okay, so there's a bit of a segue there
08:54 from Mario to, I've not been watching anything
08:58 particularly new this week, just continuing
08:59 with like, "Betrayers" and "After the Flood"
09:01 and "True Detective" and all that.
09:02 So I'll chat about some of them next week.
09:04 But the Oscar nominations came out since we last spoke,
09:08 and Mario didn't get any. - Oh, yeah, he didn't get any.
09:12 - Oh, is that, oh, really? - Nothing.
09:14 It didn't get the stand for "Peaches,"
09:15 and it didn't get animation, which I am,
09:17 I'm pretty annoyed about, to be honest.
09:20 - Were you upset about it as much as people were upset
09:22 that Barbie apparently has been snubbed,
09:24 apart from the fact that it's gotten eight nominations?
09:27 - Exactly, and when I went down this morning to look at it,
09:29 and I was like, "Well, it's got loads of nominations."
09:31 And I know Greta Gerwig, okay, fair enough,
09:34 and Margot Robbie, but like, Margot Robbie's performance
09:36 is like, she's playing a doll.
09:38 You know, it's not like, do you know what I mean?
09:41 - Can I just interject and say that before,
09:44 so I was covering the Oscars yesterday, and about an hour--
09:48 - I didn't care before, I do now.
09:49 - About an hour before the results, I turned to my friend,
09:52 who actually is the friend that I watched "Greyhound" with,
09:55 and I said, "Wouldn't it be strange
09:59 "if Ryan Gosling wins Best Supporting Actor,
10:02 "but Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig
10:04 "both miss out on nominations?"
10:06 - Yeah. - And he said,
10:07 "Ha ha, yeah, that would miss the entire point of--"
10:07 - What happened? - And that happened.
10:10 I think Greta Gerwig's more of a snub than Margot Robbie.
10:13 - I agree, that's what I was just about to say.
10:15 - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
10:16 - But you do sometimes think, to an extent,
10:19 like, because of the weight of the film,
10:21 Margot Robbie should have maybe got a nomination.
10:23 Like, Martin Scorsese got a nomination.
10:26 - I'm glad America Ferrera got hers,
10:28 'cause I thought she was really good in "Barbie,"
10:30 and I felt like she was very overshadowed in the publicity,
10:33 you know, and I thought she was--
10:34 - Yeah, for sure. - Actually quite a key
10:35 character in it, you know?
10:36 But anyway, okay, sorry. - I mean, I did like,
10:38 considering she was playing a doll,
10:39 she did properly put the work in for her.
10:42 Like, it was a pretty stonky performance.
10:44 I don't necessarily think she should have got a nomination,
10:48 but it's more that Ryan Gosling did, and she didn't,
10:52 and I think Greta Gerwig-- - Yeah, absolutely.
10:55 - Yeah, Greta Gerwig was snubbed as well in 2020
10:58 with "Little Women," and that was a whole thing back then.
11:00 So to potentially snub her again here
11:03 is an interesting one, but yeah.
11:08 - Oppenheimer has done very well.
11:12 - 13, 13 nominations. - Yeah, "Barbie's" got,
11:15 what, eight?
11:15 "Poor Little Things." - Four things.
11:18 - "Poor Things" got 11. - "Poor Things" got 11.
11:20 - "Killers of the Flow Moon" got 10.
11:22 - Yeah, so they're dominating, aren't they?
11:24 You know, but I think it's gonna be interesting.
11:26 I'm hoping Cillian Murphy does the business,
11:29 but anyway, "Saltburn" got none,
11:33 which I think we were in agreement about,
11:35 weren't we, a few weeks ago?
11:37 But yeah, so there was a little bit of controversy.
11:39 Again, not an awful lot of black women nominated,
11:43 which seems to be an ongoing issue, and yeah.
11:47 But anyway, it'll be interesting to see
11:48 what happens in a few weeks' time.
11:50 Okay, we will be back after the break with
11:53 "Masters of Air" and "Twin Peaks."
11:55 (upbeat music)
11:57 Okay, welcome back to part two,
12:06 where we're gonna be talking about
12:08 "Masters of Air" and "Twin Peaks."
12:10 So, Stephen, we're gonna go to you now
12:12 to talk about "Masters of Air,"
12:14 which has been hotly, hotly, hotly anticipated.
12:18 Is it all it's cracked up to be?
12:19 You've watched all of it now, fair play.
12:22 Yeah, so it's pretty good.
12:24 "Masters of the Air," it's a-
12:26 - Yeah, sorry.
12:27 - It's a successor series, a spiritual successor
12:30 to "Band of Brothers," which I guess is one of the very early
12:35 super, super prestige TV shows,
12:40 where TV shows basically became movie-level experiences.
12:45 And now we have "Masters of the Air,"
12:48 which follows American fighters and bombers
12:51 in the B-17 Flying Fortress planes,
12:54 flying missions over Germany in occupied Europe
12:58 during the Second World War from bases in Britain.
13:02 So you have a bit of the very stereotypical
13:06 British characters in it who are not the villains,
13:09 obviously, because they're the allies,
13:10 but they're sort of a bit snobby and very RP,
13:14 and they don't come off too well, which is fine.
13:18 You know, I don't mind.
13:18 We all know that we sort of helped the Americans out
13:23 more than they helped us out,
13:25 so we can laugh at it when they come back at us.
13:29 - Right.
13:30 - Yeah, it's got a super-duper cast, this film.
13:33 So it's got Austin Butler, who we now all know from-
13:37 - Elvis. - Elvis.
13:38 He was sort of fairly low-level in the UK
13:42 until he did "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,"
13:47 and then Elvis really sort of shot him to, like,
13:50 megastardom and masters of the air.
13:52 He's great, and he plays Major Gale Cleaven,
13:55 who is one of the sort of main pilots that we follow.
14:00 And he is cast alongside Callum Turner as John Egan.
14:06 You have Barry Kern, who plays Biddick,
14:10 and one of my, probably my favorite character in it,
14:12 Anthony Boyle, plays Crosby.
14:14 And Crosby is a navigator, and he's super nervous.
14:19 He gets airsick.
14:20 He doesn't have any faith in his own abilities.
14:22 And in the end, it turns out that he's probably
14:25 one of the best navigators they've got.
14:26 He's super, like, he comes in clutch all the time,
14:31 and he keeps putting it down to luck
14:33 and just dying himself.
14:34 And he has a really nice development of the series.
14:37 He comes up against some real, like, bad luck
14:41 and some unfortunate incidents,
14:42 but he's a great character,
14:45 a real bit of inner turmoil as well.
14:48 But the series is exec produced by Steven Spielberg
14:53 and Tom Hanks, who worked, obviously, together
14:56 on the probably definitive '90s World War II movie,
15:00 "Saving Private Ryan," and then came together
15:02 for "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific."
15:05 And it's got, I would say it's closer to "Band of Brothers"
15:09 than "The Pacific."
15:10 It's got a lot of insanely good action scenes.
15:13 - Is it a discrete series that is not gonna go on, is it?
15:16 There's not gonna be future-
15:17 - No, I imagine it'll be like "Band of Brothers."
15:20 Well, no, it won't go on because the war is seen through
15:24 in the series.
15:25 So it'll be another "Band of Brothers" type show
15:28 where it's the entire, well, a vast swathe of the war
15:32 from this perspective.
15:33 I hope they do more.
15:35 I hope they come back with, you know,
15:36 maybe an African campaign series.
15:39 Or what I would love to see is a submarine series
15:44 or like the "Atlantic" series where they're sort of manning
15:48 the fright over the Atlantic.
15:51 I think that would be fantastic.
15:53 But yeah, I heavily recommend this.
15:56 It's, yeah, it's a great, great series.
16:00 - So people can get a week's free trial, can't they,
16:04 of Apple TV and binge it on if they want?
16:06 - Well, yes, you'll have to wait a little while though.
16:08 So it comes out on the 26th with the first two episodes
16:13 and then it's weekly.
16:15 So if you wanted to watch it all with your free trial,
16:17 you probably wanna watch-
16:17 - Wait till the end.
16:18 - The end in like March and then binge it all.
16:23 - Darn it.
16:24 Fair enough, fair enough.
16:27 If you wanna be on top of it,
16:28 you're gonna have to subscribe to Apple for a few months.
16:31 Okay, cool, that sounds great.
16:33 I am actually looking forward to watching that.
16:34 And yeah, God, the cast is amazing, isn't it?
16:37 So that'd be great.
16:39 Great, Master Smear, thank you, Stephen.
16:41 Right, Benji, over to you.
16:44 We're gonna talk about, I mean,
16:45 like quite different TV series here.
16:49 And confession time, I have never watched Twin Peaks.
16:54 - Well, let me just break it down for you.
16:58 It's a nice, simple TV series.
17:00 - I mean, I think everybody knows it though, don't they?
17:02 Everyone knows Twin Peaks, they know what it's about.
17:04 They know names of characters.
17:06 They know, it is a cult classic completely,
17:09 but it's like, I've never, I never actually sat.
17:11 I actually remember when it came out the first time,
17:14 1990, what?
17:16 19, what was it?
17:18 What was the year?
17:19 - Well, it first starred on ABC in 1990.
17:22 - Okay, so yeah.
17:23 - And for those that perhaps aren't familiar with the series,
17:27 it's pretty simple.
17:29 It's about, it's almost like a crime procedural drama
17:33 that's based around an FBI agent teaming up
17:36 with a local sheriff to determine who killed the body
17:40 of a woman called Laura Palmer.
17:42 Hence the tag for the first season was,
17:44 who killed Laura Palmer?
17:46 And it takes its name from the coastline
17:49 of the sleepy little lumbering town
17:52 where the murder took place and is being solved,
17:55 which is Twin Peaks.
17:57 And yeah, it's a fantastic show.
17:59 Thanks for coming.
18:00 Wait a minute, it's a David Lynch production though.
18:03 So there's more to it than that.
18:04 - Of course.
18:05 - Yeah, there is of course the cult and the fandom.
18:09 With it being David Lynch,
18:10 it means that anything and everything can happen.
18:14 So we're treated to Agent Dale Cooper
18:17 played by a regular collaborator with David Lynch,
18:20 Carl McLaughlin, who is a dune and blue velvet.
18:24 He uses a bunch of unorthodox methods,
18:28 including spiritualism, first nation mysticism
18:33 to try and find out who,
18:36 or not to spoil it too much, what killed Laura Palmer.
18:40 And every cast member has their own little idiosyncrasies.
18:45 Agent Cooper constantly sending memos on his recorder.
18:50 We never find out who he is talking to
18:52 until a couple of seasons later.
18:56 We have a audience surrogate, I felt,
18:59 in the form of the local sheriff, Harry Truman,
19:02 who is basically the straight man,
19:04 as opposed to all of the well-meaning,
19:07 but slightly odd town folks in Twin Peaks,
19:10 which I have to give a big shout out to.
19:12 She died when the recording of "Twin Peaks to Return,"
19:17 which was the third season
19:19 that came out a couple of years ago.
19:20 The Log Lady.
19:23 And I'm sure if you're not familiar with the Log Lady,
19:25 she was a character that used to walk around with a log,
19:28 and the log would actually be a conduit
19:30 to the spirituality in Twin Peaks,
19:33 such as, for example,
19:34 my log believes that it's a spirit
19:36 that has killed Laura Palmer rather than anything else.
19:39 - Okay.
19:40 - Right, it's a log.
19:42 The log, for every reason, it's a conduit,
19:44 not tarot card readings or anything like that, but a log.
19:49 I really don't want to give too much away
19:51 because much like Cooper remarks
19:53 in the diner in Twin Peaks about the cherry pie,
19:55 there's a damn fine television series
19:57 that had a very damn fine prequel with "Fire Walk With Me,"
20:01 which starred the late David Bowie.
20:04 And the second season venturing more into the lore
20:08 of how it actually killed Laura Palmer.
20:10 But it's brilliant.
20:11 You could, I mean, I haven't got too much time.
20:14 I could probably go into an entire podcast
20:16 about Twin Peaks, the whole mythos surrounding it,
20:20 and everything like that.
20:22 But you know, unfortunately, if you want to watch it,
20:24 it's on Paramount+, so a subscription is required.
20:28 There might be a possibility
20:30 that it might still be on Sky Atlantic,
20:33 which showed Twin Peaks the return when that first came out.
20:38 But I know for a fact all three seasons are on Paramount+.
20:42 - Okay.
20:43 - And yeah, I can't do it justice
20:44 within the five minutes to talk about it.
20:46 You have to go and see it. - I know.
20:48 - Even if you're not a Lynch fan.
20:51 - Yeah.
20:51 - Lynchian is a word now in the cinematic universe
20:54 that gets used a lot.
20:55 And Twin Peaks is definitive, you know,
20:58 not offensive to the point where,
21:02 I mean, "Firewalk" with me is a different story,
21:05 but yeah, it's entry-level Lynchian surrealism,
21:08 and it's fantastic.
21:10 - I think it's worth saying that probably nowadays
21:13 we're a bit more used to sort of surrealism
21:17 or sort of otherworldly elements
21:20 coming into sort of like normal TV programs or whatever.
21:23 - Yeah.
21:24 - Whereas he was one of the first people to do it.
21:26 He was one of the first people to be like,
21:28 "What if this happened?"
21:29 - Yeah, I mean, it's the only TV series I can recall
21:32 where the opening episode both had the impactful reveal
21:37 of Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic being found,
21:40 but that same episode having Jack Nance,
21:43 another frequent Lynch collaborator,
21:45 'cause he was Henry in "A Razorhead,"
21:49 remarking, "Oh, there was a fish in the percolator."
21:53 So that's the kind of humor that Lynch goes for,
21:56 the very stark, but then very surreal.
21:59 - After all, yeah.
22:00 But I think because of that, it did become,
22:03 like, it must be the most cited TV program.
22:08 You know, it's been referenced in everything
22:11 from like "The Simpsons."
22:13 - Yeah, when we talked about "The Sopranos,"
22:14 we talked about how "The Sopranos"
22:16 opened the doors for prestige television,
22:18 but I think perhaps we're not too kind
22:21 on how "Twin Peaks" did that on a network,
22:24 which was ABC, which is the equivalent
22:26 to maybe our ITV Channel 4 in America.
22:30 And the fact that they asked him to do a soap opera,
22:34 kind of like a crime drama,
22:35 and he got away with what David Lynch thinks
22:38 a soap opera should look like is incredible.
22:41 And the fact that he got away with those elements
22:44 of surrealism, of spiritualism,
22:47 and just absolute existential horror at times as well,
22:51 when you realize just exactly as unfolded.
22:53 And if you don't have time to dedicate to all three seasons,
22:57 the international version of the pilot
23:00 acts as just basically a one and done,
23:03 which gets confusing. - Oh, interesting.
23:05 - Then if you watch it on some streaming services,
23:09 they will play the international pilot,
23:12 and then you get confused, but this has all been solved.
23:15 Why do they continue?
23:17 - Great, great, great, cool.
