0:04

one of the rarest things

0:06

in the deadly world

0:08

of is a

0:10

form it's not an occupation

0:12

usually with a retirement and

0:15

a new streaming series the old man

0:18

jeff bridges character is exactly

0:20

that and ex cia agent who's been

0:22

living off the grid for many

0:24

years that is until he's polished

0:26

catches up with him

0:31

a girl is me i

0:33

found nice you

0:42

, that is be a mutasa easier easier

0:46

them though i love you tell it was

0:48

mobius when

0:51

lima

0:51

a ease the tv and film you

0:54

on breakfast when lay seventy

0:56

degrees old good morning jeff bridges

0:59

is as the titles is an old man

1:02

you , that's what the title says how does he

1:04

go at being an action here

1:06

are are think

1:08

he's think pretty well

1:10

for someone who is seventy two a

1:12

but you know he's very i guess the word they

1:14

would use all sins describe older

1:16

people a spry he's very

1:18

spry and what i do like

1:21

about it though is that because

1:23

he's an old then and you know they promised that

1:25

in the title itself it shows

1:27

on screen when he gets beaten up he

1:29

doesn't just bounce right back up he

1:32

is how good he is limping

1:34

he is tired and those bruises

1:36

stick around says there are some

1:39

scenes where you know he kind of appeals is shut

1:41

off to survey the damage done to

1:43

his body and it's all very

1:46

you know red and blue old are only

1:48

and not he has only and pack at one point

1:50

i was like wow jeff bridges well done

1:52

year i'm but yeah

1:54

he's age definitely shows and i think they

1:56

lean into it and i think there is an

1:58

element of realism if they can be such

2:01

a thing in the spicer a loss on

2:03

were a good yeah this guy you'd

2:05

i he's not james bond or he's

2:07

not even liam neeson is to leave

2:10

nathan seems to get around freely well someone

2:12

who is a little more advanced as well he's

2:14

an old guy he's an old retired

2:16

spy who hasn't been in the games for decades

2:19

and he's not necessarily up to all

2:21

the tricks in terms of new age surveillance

2:24

arm you know what they the sort

2:26

of things as supposedly spy

2:28

agencies get up to now and get a his

2:30

heyday was in than and in the eighties during

2:32

the soviet afghan war so

2:34

it's a really interesting

2:37

call of duty play of how this so-called

2:39

has been runs ,

2:42

you know, everything, the cia and

2:44

the fbi now have at their disposal disposal i'm

2:46

he's not the old man in the movie

2:48

cuz i actually in the series i say

2:50

cuz who he really goes up against

2:52

is john lithgow, who is even actually

2:54

older and, and there

2:56

a cameo by joel grey from cabaret

2:58

who at 90 is looking fabulous

3:02

it's just for distressed

3:04

property vegan 60 years

3:06

has you said what? made that jump the

3:08

or he hasn't been on tv

3:10

really for more than one episode since

3:12

his father's side the lloyd bridges so in nineteen

3:15

sixty two or i think more like

3:17

everyone else in hollywood his carnival key a what

3:19

his big screen colleagues during on the

3:21

small screen the get into their riches stories

3:23

and he's gone yeah i want to do that as well you

3:25

know he's given an interview with vanity says same

3:27

that see the guys who he

3:29

and everyone else has worried about the difference in quality

3:32

between tv and film productions and

3:34

now that gap to southern exists and

3:36

dot at his age he still wants experiments

3:39

incredible

3:40

i'm it was announced three years ago was

3:42

it takes so long to make well

3:45

he is a few things happened cause

3:47

it was one of them of course it said production

3:49

baths the jeff bridges also was diagnosed

3:51

with lymphoma sword because he had

3:53

to go off and battle kansas they couldn't really

3:55

make this he they so what they needed to throw him

3:57

around and do of his dogs and luckily

4:00

he's in remission i he get

4:02

i got his health bad he actually came down

4:04

with cove it as well i think he said at one point

4:07

they nearly died from it and

4:09

native what seems to be full recovery

4:11

to come back and shoot the so we pretty much the

4:13

exactly the same cause enormous the same crew

4:15

and he said he added abs

4:16

the at all

4:18

i came now also out this week is our

4:20

half an english domestic thriller starring

4:23

lot of duties martin com students

4:25

and down and downton abbey ease

4:27

tuppence middleton

4:28

good cause doesn't have a good story

4:31

it is interesting is guess i call these things

4:33

domestic thrill is because it is based

4:35

in our own on a relationship so

4:38

it has an element of ah you know

4:40

heightened relate ability where you think that could

4:42

never happen to you but could it happen

4:44

to use so it's a hunt husband and

4:46

wife separated now i'm

4:48

see went away on holidays

4:50

for awakened she came back and they're strangers

4:53

movie into house and they have

4:55

and contact the says she has sold them does house

4:57

is like where like all myself this is this

4:59

house how come you're he is and she

5:01

can't find her ex husband's side

5:04

that that's pretty much the premises the first

5:06

episode and it goes back in flashback

5:08

to sort of see how they relationship

5:10

breakdown and then and then three

5:13

episodes become this really very

5:15

outlandish out of this world's out

5:17

or gets caught can like a scam conspiracy

5:20

of what really happened to lead everything

5:22

the way it did spots i think at

5:24

the core of it it is about how people who

5:26

were once deeply deeply in love

5:28

handful the parts so so

5:31

wrapped you know rapturously and it's it

5:33

is some kind of a it

5:35

is a run of the mill tv thrilla

5:37

i don't necessarily think if he wants a you

5:39

remembered in three years but in the meantime

5:42

it's kind of like oh yeah there's an intriguing premise at

5:44

the heart of this and i like these actors iran

5:46

love martin constant is it runs obsessive line

5:48

of duty so it's always interesting to see him place

5:50

a different kind of role

5:52

that would also we look out for this week

5:54

i want to my favorite size is back on a

5:56

date night court what we do in the shadows

5:58

it's that for it's forces it's a vampire

6:01

mulkey meant tree set in new york i'd

6:04

love to talk about this all the time separate book

6:06

people probably sick of me banging on about

6:08

it but it is a spinoff from the

6:11

kiwi comedy what we do the shadows as

6:13

well endowed but now four

6:15

seasons in seasons in the americans have really kind

6:17

of made it their own as a main clements

6:19

who is the new zealand's comedic actor

6:21

he's still involved as a producer source

6:23

you do have that connection back to the original

6:26

am i don't want to give two months away from

6:28

people who on up to date but i will

6:30

just say one of them but best original parts

6:32

of the new series which is

6:34

a character that didn't sort of have a counterpart

6:37

in the film is an energy than pine

6:39

cone robinson and he's not a very

6:41

cool news story wanting to season

6:44

and then there's also while still kind

6:46

of connected to new zealand a t a

6:48

movie called to make me go that's coming out on

6:50

amazon at the end of the week it's an american

6:52

film it stalls john hard but it was filmed

6:54

in new zealand about father and daughter on a

6:56

road trip and then there's a really weird

6:58

comedy called the rehearsal that's coming out on

7:00

binge a it solves a comedian

7:02

name's nathan fielder and he sort of sets

7:04

up scenario is that allows people to rehearse
