Starting point is 00:00:00 it's time for the luke and the peach show my name is pete donaldson but this week i'm not joined by mr luke moore because he is currently up a mountain in scotland i believe he's just sent an email to the skarnov whatsapp group saying uh he may need a little bit help getting to the studio next week i'm joined by chris tilly from our fantastic podcast clash of the titles chris tilly how the devil are you sir i'm'm great, thank you for having me Pete. I feel honoured to be sitting in for Luke this week. What I like about Chris is, I've known Chris for donkeys years, actual donkeys years. How old are donkeys? Why do we call them donkeys years Chris? Have you got any intel on that? Why are you putting me on the spot like this? I't know look this is what the lucan peach show is i ask you a random
Starting point is 00:00:50 question from my brain box and you have to mumble your way through an answer approximating what we might think it might be um donkeys yes i've known you donkeys yes and uh we finally get to do a show together um for the next two shows here on the Look and Be sure this week. But basically Chris is here. He's from our Clash of the Titles podcast, and it's a film podcast where two films go head to head. It's hosted by Alex Zane and Vicky Crompton is involved as well. I've guest appeared as well.
Starting point is 00:01:20 How's it going at the moment, Chris? I hear you next week, week next month you might be doing something a little bit different yeah we're gonna reveal i can yeah we're gonna do some horror films next month we're gonna do a month of scary movies so we're just figuring out what they're gonna be um but yeah it's going well actually i told alex i was coming on this and he sent me a message saying don't get sucked into football chat talk only movies mention the name of the show as much as possible and refer to yourself yeah third person is chris thrilly so that's my instructions for the day well last time uh luke was off i did a show with me alex and uh mark from wrestle me the
Starting point is 00:02:00 podcast i do about wrestling with mark and um the reviews weren't universally positive because it was just us remembering when we used to work together about um 15 years ago we never worked together properly chris so so i fear there's there's going to be none of that i listened to that episode and i really enjoyed it but that maybe that's because i was a fan of the radio show you were very self-indulgently talking about. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's kind of how our social gatherings kind of, that's what they descend into.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Alex and me and Mark will start talking about the time that we work together. But I think that's perfectly normal to reminisce about the past, isn't it? We've all got a past. Yeah, and you had funny stories about you writing a song for Lily Allen or something, didn't you? That's the kind of podcasting material I want to hear. Yeah, and you had funny stories about you writing a song for Lily Allen or something, didn't you? Like, that's the kind of podcasting material I want to hear. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, Clash of the Titans is all about two films going head to head.
Starting point is 00:02:52 What's been your highlights recently about which films that you've enjoyed immensely or which films you haven't enjoyed? Well, Jaws and Jurassic Park was big. That was exciting because you don't get bigger movies than that. And Jaws is Alex's favourite film. So it was lovely digging into his passion for that film. was big that was exciting because you don't get bigger movies than that and jaws is alex's favorite film so it was lovely digging into his passion for that film and we all like jurassic park so i enjoyed that one um i was i i pitched independence day and mars attacks i was quite shocked at how much alex and vicky hated mars attacks um right because i just thought it was a cult classic yeah and it's just sort of a
Starting point is 00:03:25 harmless silly comedy but there seemed to be anger from their side of the table uh i i particularly enjoyed we did taken and commando and i love i loved re revisiting um commando uh just that period of action movies in the 80s i could spend all day talking about them is is that why i like to is that why um taken kind of resonated with a lot of people, presumably around about our age, is because it reminded us of those kind of mid-blockbuster, quite cheap, thrifty blockbusters that you used to get on home video back in the day?
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, and also I think it was fun seeing Liam Neeson beat up people. It sort of inspired a mini sub-genre for him where he's just remade the same film over and over again for the last 10 years. And Caddyshack was good. I listened to that. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:04:14 That's a bit of a classic. I was listening to the Taken one, and the thing that got me is nobody mentioned the bit where at the end of Taken, there was a man who attacks him. I think it's on a boat or something. I can't remember. You know what? I can never remember the end of taken there is a man who attacks him i think it's on a boat or something i can't remember you know what i can never remember the end of it not about um a man one of the henchmen who attacks uh lame neeson he looks like he's been cupronald he looks like he's been covered in creosote he's just like a white guy who's like painted himself like in that kind of that dark
Starting point is 00:04:39 kind of um uh that dark kind of stuff that you put when you when you're a bodybuilder it looks like he's put that on his face where you can only see his eyes. It's really, really weird. And nobody ever talks about it. Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe we'll have to re-edit that episode and bring you in as a guest. Hey, guys. There's a weirdly painted man who turns up while we do this.
Starting point is 00:05:00 He's had a terrible spray tan situation. But, yeah, the Luka Peach show. Are you familiar with our oeuvre? Because it's not much of an oeuvre really because we're recording over Zoom or Zencastr, our product, our app of choice at the moment. I sent you over an invite to this particular session and it went straight to your junk folder. And I think that's precisely where this show belongs,
Starting point is 00:05:25 quite frankly, Chris. Well, I listened to your last episode. I haven't listened to a lot of them, if I'm honest, because since we started doing Clash of the Titles, I am knee deep in listening to film podcasts to pick up everything I can for research. So I haven't been listening to a lot of sort of podcasts just for fun.
Starting point is 00:05:43 So I listened to the last one and very much enjoyed your chat about bad movie merchandise. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It brought back memories. You got any from back in the day? It brought back memories of when, before I even became a film journalist,
Starting point is 00:05:56 just in the 90s when I went and hired Fever Pitch starring Colin Firth from Blockbuster. It came with a free pair of satin red fever pitch boxer shorts, which I actually used to wear on special nights out. Special nights out, lucky pants. Is that a thing in the Tilly world, lucky pants? Of course. Have they worked for you?
Starting point is 00:06:20 No, never. Obviously they didn't. And if they did work and then I got my trousers off and the woman saw satin red fever pitch boxer shorts she's running a mile it would end very very quickly that particular bit of sexual congress so i um yeah go on chris i was just gonna say i enjoyed that and then you sent me over these articles and i'm like well this has no connection to what they were talking about last week. No, no, they haven't. This is quite upsetting.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Well, we'll get to the new story in a second. Have you got any movie merchandise from the film Care Packs? This has come up on the show a couple of times before. My friend, one of his favorite films, inexplicably, is the film K-Pax, featuring an alien, disgraced sex offender. Can you be a disgraced sex offender? Just sex offender or disgraced man, Kevin Spacey. He's an alien. He comes down from heaven or wherever aliens come from, and he just lives his life as best he can. But it's really hard to find Kpx merchandise but i did manage to locate on ebay um some stills you know you sometimes have those promotional stills from from from
Starting point is 00:07:31 films that kind of knock around every now and again i've got loads of them loads of kpx ones i want to go back something you said do you think aliens come from heaven pete because that's what you just claimed i think that i think i think they do they're little angels little angel boys and girls well no yeah angels do come from heaven so you think angels angels are aliens yeah well i think that god lives in in on a on a big spaceship and floats around telling people off for being naughty and having a touching your wink touching their winkies and stuff um so yeah so this is basically the show, to be honest, Chris. I mean, I feel awful that I have to introduce the listeners to you and you to the listeners. Oh, thanks.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Because they know what it's like and you don't. So, yeah, it's very much just a wander through half-remembered stories and half-remembered situations. But we're going to kick off. Actually, we're going to kick off with something I've just read on Twitter. This is interesting, isn't it? Boris Johnson's Rule of six. Big announcement today. You're only allowed six people in your little group on a night out or where you hang out to. They're trying to flatten this curve once again, which is sadly going up here in England and the wider UK. There is an exemption though, Chris.
Starting point is 00:08:44 You've not seen this news story. I'm almost certain. What do you reckon the exemption is for Rule of Six, bearing in mind which government is in charge right now? Is it movie and football podcasts? No, no, it's not. I wish it was, Chris. It's grouse shooting.
Starting point is 00:09:03 You don't have to. You can have up to 30 people gathering with guns for grouse shooting. You don't have to. You don't. You can have up to 30 people gathering with guns for grouse shooting. So, yeah, the Cabinet Office drafted special meetings on this actual exemption. So if I go out and buy a gun, I can meet up with 30 friends, but if I don't have a gun, I can't. Yeah, it's like Fortnite, but real. In that, isn't the scene is so typically tori i'm loving that i'm absolutely loving that very enjoyable it's just the bloody mindedness of them not to care not to think that people would be upset about this and they'll get away with it
Starting point is 00:09:37 won't they of course they will of course they bloody will very enjoyable um but one of the news stories i did send you, have you been across this mysterious Chinese seed story? No, this is all news to me. Has this been going on for a long time then? This has been going on for a little while. So basically there's been this spate of mysterious, innocuous Chinese seeds being sent to addresses in the U.S. and other places as well.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And the USDA, obviously, who look after food and farming and stuff like that, this mystery seed operation is way bigger than we ever imagined. So apparently, this is all to do with Amazon kind of fulfillment, or certainly online purchasing fulfillment orders. And basically, Chinese companies are able to get reviews for how good... They can put reviews on their own site if they can prove that they sent a product out. It doesn't have to be a product that anyone ordered as long as they send a bag of something. So in order to leave a positive review from a verified buyer, these Chinese companies are just basically sending seeds to random addresses in the US and beyond
Starting point is 00:10:54 for them to game their own kind of system when it comes to online company reviews, if that makes any sense. I've probably not explained this very well, but the bottom line is random Chinese companies are sending random Chinese seeds to random US people. And I'm in for this. Well, this sounds exactly like something you would buy after a few drinks sitting on your laptop.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Definitely. I want a bag of Chinese seeds. If there's anyone in China listening, send me some seeds. Yeah. One recipient in North Carolina didn't even get his seeds. I received a suspicious package from China with a spoon and a fork in it. But because he's a bit of a conspiracy theorist, he thinks that the spoon and fork are covered in COVID.
Starting point is 00:11:41 So that's how they delivered COVID to the US. So some people who haven't delivered covid to the u.s so some people haven't ordered them some people haven't ordered them um uh planted the seeds and then some people who didn't order them ate the seeds just ate the seeds yes right i don't care i don't care how hungry or peckish you are if you are just go to your letterbox and someone has sent you a jiffy bag full of seeds i mean who sent me these seeds they're getting eaten they're going down the gullet i don't even care it saved you a trip to the show what like i used to be criticized when i used to work for a radio station where we used to get sent mystery food i remember a man um sent
Starting point is 00:12:20 uh on behalf or rather to the to the show The Football Ramble, a bag full of mystery meat. It was like jerky, but I mean, it could have been dried anything. It could be dried humans. I ate it all and it was delicious. But I was criticised for eating stuff that people had sent us. Now, seeds, I wouldn't even get involved in that caper.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I don't know what people are doing. Are you a seed guy? Maybe this is to the delivery system. No, not the, I mean, the picture was like sunflower seeds and I'm not, sunflower seeds, they're just too fiddly. What's the biggest seed you can eat? Seeds are just so unsatisfying to me. Anise seed.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Sunflower seeds, like maybe shelled anise seed. Star anise. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, have you, so are you going to order some of these seeds and do something with them live on air? The problem is nobody knows how to. Nobody knows how to.
Starting point is 00:13:12 They're just sent without being asked these seeds. And you are now in. And the USDA are obviously saying we can't have unsolicited seedage arriving on our shores. It might upset our very delicate ecosystem. You know, it might cause a plague of locusts or something like that. But no, the seeds are here to stay, guys. But if you do receive a packet of seeds, please, please do not eat the seeds.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Do not eat the seeds. So that's the first story. What we will do, we'll move on to some emails. We're going to take a short advertorial. So, Jean, we'll be back in a second with more of your emails, more of your bits and bobs, all right? Hi, I'm Nicole Goodman. And I'm Lauren Mishcon.
Starting point is 00:13:56 In 2020, self-care can seem like yet another overwhelming job for women. Every week, we test out a new kind of self-care so you don't have to. Firstly, can we just clarify how we pronounce it? Kombucha? Kom-booch? Yeah. Kombucha. Kombucha.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Self-care club. Wellness road tested. So that was the first day. You know, it was just the not slipping into the complete default mode of what I normally do, which is have a go at my husband for what he hasn't done. And, you know, all of that stuff, I kind of stopped. Okay, so it was more the absence of meanness rather than the projection of kindness at this initial point. Yes. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
Starting point is 00:14:42 This week, we are testing out menstrual cups. How are you feeling? Dreading it. I know that you love to give a practice that's all about down below. I'm not interested. I've never even really thought about it since before I met you. Never thought about your vagina until you met me. It doesn't get a lot of air time.
Starting point is 00:14:58 It doesn't get a lot of air time. No, it doesn't. The Self Care Club is a Stakhanov production. And we're back. It's the Luke and Pete Show. I'm Pete Donaldson, joined by Chris Daly from the Clash of the Titles podcast. It's all about two films going head to head on a similar theme. What I like about Clash of the Titles is before you announce what films you're going to be doing,
Starting point is 00:15:20 you announce on Twitter a little kind of like clue as to which ones you're going to do. Are they always guessed from your clues? Yes, because when we're getting to record time, if no one's guessed it, I then put an additional clue that makes it really obvious. So we haven't had a week, but I don't think I've had to do that maybe once. Every other time people have guessed correctly. So I love trying to come up with the clues because what you want is for to get 50 guesses but only one correct guess i think last week i messed it up i messed it up a little bit and we got like 30 correct guesses so but this week it's going much better this week what was last one's clue um last week well last week i tried something new which
Starting point is 00:16:02 was too oh no this is embarrassing i do an erotic daubing no i took it for the twitter clue i said kpax did you draw kpax at that alien from heaven we never do kpax we took i took a still from each film you coward this is mac and me i posted a picture from each film that wasn't obvious what the film was but i didn't realize you can do this reverse google search reverse google search yeah if you go um if you go to there's a russian uh image search called yandex um and it's really fun uh they do like an image search if you download a picture of one of your friends um they've got such good um facial recognition and they're probably doing something incredibly uh weird with the with the images that you're sending them but it doesn't matter I'm not going to I'm not anti-Slavic I'm
Starting point is 00:16:51 not anti-Russian companies necessarily unless they do something terrible so you can have me pictures of my friends I don't care but the you can put a picture of your friend up and then they will find people who look exactly like your friend and it's way more specific than google image search it's way more specific than uh like yahoo image search or bing or anything uh they're really good at finding people who look just like you um so a bit of a tip if you want to lose a few hours on the internet but as it's well documented everyone looks like you pete so there's no competition yeah honestly it's it's it's just it's just getting worse and worse like i can i can look like a million different people at the same time there's people on the tube people have taken
Starting point is 00:17:34 pictures of um there's there's people you know on on online there's this there's this celebrity kind of like he was a young lad i think he was a big boy big boy um and then he turned 18 and he decided he wanted to be a small boy small boy small boy and he lost a load of weight and he has made the terrible choice of sort of having like a kind of high bun so it kind of looks a bit like an undercut he started wearing my glasses and he's giving himself a goatee beard he's just trying looks out and he's he's settled on my. And it's unfortunate because he's only like 23, 24. And I get sent that guy every couple of hours. I saw a guy in a car yesterday who looked like you and I got a little bit excited.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I've been watching the TV show The Fall with Gillian Anderson. Yeah. Have you seen it? Did you watch that show? You don't look like Jamie Dornan. No, no. I'm just saying that I was like, I'd be the perfect. I would be the perfect criminal because I look like everyone. If they put a photo fit out like they did on that show for Jamie Dornan,
Starting point is 00:18:34 it would just look like anyone. And they could cut- They'd have a tea bag from Prison Break. I was just going to say, you can cut your mate from Prison Break. A glass tea from Prison Break. But, yeah. Have you said, like, i'm fascinated by the they keep on making very rudimentary mistakes when it comes to um computer use um you know like most tv shows they'll have a
Starting point is 00:18:54 proprietary uh kind of a one-off uh kind of um system usually in american dramas they'll have when someone uses a computer it won't be like a mac or ios it won't be uh like mojave or something or or a windows um computer it'll be this random weird kind of thing they've created themselves because they don't want to infringe on copyrights or pay money to windows or pay money to to apple i don't really know how it works but in england we seem to see a lot lot more kind of windows action and and Gillian Anderson keeps on printing stuff out to the Microsoft XPS writer, which isn't even a bloody printer properly.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And she keeps on not saving files in the right way. And it's really starting to buy my piss. She's getting worse at it, quite frankly. I mean, I'm sorry. I lost interest about halfway through that. See, this is who we need on the Luke and Pete show. luke would just roll with the puddages on that one he'd try he'd he would humor me for a bit and then he'd change the subject but that tv show is all about her just being very sexually liberated and then her um delivering some
Starting point is 00:19:58 really ham-fisted kind of obvious kind of like oh do you think uh women deserve to be attacked because they dress a certain way? No, nobody thinks that in 2020. Or if you do, you're a fucking wrong one. So don't worry about it. Germany cricket. Pretty hammerly done. Get someone to edit that writing.
Starting point is 00:20:17 That's what they call them. The old edit writers. That review comes from five years ago when The Fool was actually on telly. It's just gone to Netflix. I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying the sexually liberated Gillian Anderson. It's good. Let's get on to some emails.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Chris, I've sent you a list of emails. Would you like to kick off with Laura's email, which is the top one I brought you? Sure. Laura says, this is my first email. My husband has emailed several times, but has never been read out. So it would be great if you could read this one just to get up on him.
Starting point is 00:20:50 She wants to let us know that her school had a nurse and she was also the school librarian. And I'm not convinced she had any qualifications to support either role. As expected, the school nurse, she wasn't always the most empathetic and was often skeptical about whether you were actually sick enough to be there one memorable occasion uh that i ended up in sick bay coincided with one of england's group games in world cup 98 uh this was on during school time
Starting point is 00:21:17 and only the year nines were being allowed to watch it exceptionally unfair i had been knocked over in a crush at one of the school entrances at lunchtime a common event at my comp when you had 950 11 to 14 year olds in a school designed for 300 what's going on here cabins that sounds like they've got potter cabins that was my school they just ran out of space and just put everyone in potter cabins i mean she got it was a crush and it sounds like this was a regular occurrence. Laura hit her head on the floor. I was fine, but clearly didn't fancy what lessons I had that afternoon. And for once, the nurse agreed. So someone was rung to come collect me and take me home.
Starting point is 00:22:00 As I was sat in sickbay, desperately hoping whoever was going to pick me up would get there in time to get off home for kickoff. A stream of boys from my year came in to try and convince the nurse that they were really ill and needed to go home she didn't believe any of them and sent every single one back to class she obviously hadn't considered that a girl a very sporty girl who happened to play football for the school and a local team and went on to play academy level laura could possibly try to exaggerate an injury in order to watch the england match needless to say i watched the game at home and was back into school the next day as my parents had quite rightly ascertained that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me i hope that the gender stereotypes in schools have changed since then so that it is recognized that girls might like football just as much as boys but a small part of me hopes that another girl might get the benefit of these stereotypes in order to watch the world cup laura you have subverted and uh enjoyed the spoils of uh gender stereotypes they're
Starting point is 00:22:48 very enjoyable uh did you have a school nurse at uh at school i don't think i did certainly not my primary school was a very little primary school there was no nurse there i went to quite a big posh all boys school for secondary school and i think it was the kind of school where they just said... Pull a Laura trick. I think they just said, you're not hurt. You're not sick. Get on with it. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Walk it off. Run it off. Yeah. Crying out loud. Yeah. I presume you had a librarian, though. I mean, that is bare minimum. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Yes. Yeah. Okay. And what was your favourite book in the library? I can tell you what my favourite book was in the library at primary school, because I wish I'd stolen it and kept it. It was the novelization of Back to the Future. I used to go read that a lot. What? I mean, I'm presuming it had had because you know like when that when somebody writes a
Starting point is 00:23:45 book and it gets uh it gets adapted for for stage screen or uh or film uh they replace the cover with the one that you're the that's the film effectively to to shift more units sure and i'm always very embarrassed to read that version of the book so i try and find the original if i can because i am petty and small uh and yeah just those two things quite novelizations are incredible though because these writers sometimes they're doing it before the film script is finished they're writing it alongside the film being made so they they've got they're coming up with stuff that's not in the film um they just have to get it done and so one I read a few years ago and ended up writing about was the novelization of et where right et really wants to bone elliot's mum
Starting point is 00:24:29 oh what like he's like a horny he's a horny et he's a horny et and there's one point where he's imagining her in the shower and you're just thinking how was this allowed chris chris tell me she's got the shower curtain across and he just pokes his periscope-style head over the top and goes, wow, how we were. It's just who reads CZT thinks this needs to be sexed up? I hope they were all put, I hope they're all collected together,
Starting point is 00:25:02 the copies of the E.T. novelization and buried in the Nevada desert like the Atari cartridge. That's very enjoyable. Oh, I really want to read that now. Have you read the whole thing? I've read the whole thing. I've written an article with the highlights, which I could send you, but I could also lend you the book.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Oh, good. I've actually started collecting novelizations because I'm a twat. And, yeah, I'm not really reading a lot of them but i think um i've got a few rockies the rocky ones seem to play out in his head like it's all from the first person of what he's thinking and that's weird being inside rocky balboa's head wasn't that wasn't that the basis of a podcast um oh the rocky four one yes they were yeah it was slightly different but yeah they were looking for this what was it's like a subsection of literature created around um ivan drago uh that's right yes yes yes riveting it was very very very good back in the day um oh wow it's
Starting point is 00:26:01 a little bit like um video game um uh solution you know you like a little bit like video game solution. You know, like sometimes when a video game comes out, there's a big annual, a big book that comes out with it, and it's basically a whole walkthrough on how to defeat the game really, really quickly. It's a little bit depressing because, like, you know, people should be able to find out their own way of getting through half the stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:21 But, yeah, they're written at the same time that the video game is getting made. So there are sometimes aberrations and strange things that are put in. But I enjoy the idea of a horny, red, lit up, penis-ed. A little telescopic winky. A little horned dog.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I've just been looking up what England's group games were in World Cup 98. And I really hope Laura didn't bunk off for the Romania-England game because we actually lost that one. Yeah, that's a stinker. That would have been a stinker. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Do you remember much of World Cup 98? Let's sashay a little bit into football chat because obviously me and you have gone to Crystal Palace a couple of times. You won at the weekend. Well done. Yes, so did you, didn't you? And Ross Townsend doing the thing.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Yeah, we did. Yeah, yeah. Lovely. It doesn't happen often. We're both that injury. It doesn't. That must mean we're both that injury it doesn't yeah that must mean we're both top
Starting point is 00:27:07 half yay we're gonna be in Europe World Cup 98 I was at uni for the first half of the
Starting point is 00:27:15 tournament and then I was back in Croydon for the second half yeah very vivid memories of the
Starting point is 00:27:20 Argentina game with the Owen goal I mean that was one of the most I think dramatic Owen goal. I mean, that was one of the most, I think, dramatic nights of football I've ever watched. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I thought we had a chance that year
Starting point is 00:27:32 and it just didn't happen for whatever reason. With Shearer and Owen up front, I thought we might be doing it. But how about you? What are your memories?
