WISH THEM WELL AND WE HOPE THEY
RECOVER SOON.
>>> ALL RIGHT, IT’S LABOR DAY
WEEKEND AND THERE ARE BIG
RELEASES HITTING STREAMING
CHANNELS.
JOINING US FOR THE REEL TALK IS
GREG RUSSELL.
HEY, GREG!
>> HEY, KIM, HOW ARE YOU?
>> Kim: IT’S GREAT TO SEE YOUR
FACE.
HOW IS EVERYTHING?
>> EVERYTHING IS DOING WELL,
READY FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
AND REPPIN’ THE CITY, SO HAVING
GOOD TIME.
>> Kim: LOVE THE SHIRT!
AND LET’S TALK ABOUT A MOVIE
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED
IN THEATERS, RELEASE PUSHED BACK
AND NOW ON DISNEY PLUS.
IT’S THE LIVE ACTION FILM
"MULAN."
>> CATCH IT ON DISNEY PLUS AND
WATCHED IT THE OTHER NIGHT.
I HADN’T SEEN THE ORIGINAL
BECAUSE WHEN IT CAME OUT MY
DAUGHTER WAS OLD ENOUGH THAT SHE
WENT WITH FRIENDS TO SEE IT AT
THE THEATER.
SO I HAD HER WATCH IT WITH ME.
THERE ARE A FEW STORY CHANGES,
BUT FOR THE MOST PART, IT’S THE
SAME THING, A YOUNG LADY WHO HAS
THIS GREAT WAY OF FIGHTING, AND
SHE GETS INTO THE ARMY, PASSING
AS A BOY AND JUST GOES ON TO
BECOME THIS CHAMPION FIGHTER.
AND WE’VE GOT A CLIP FROM THE
MOVIE, SO LET’S CHECK IT OUT
NOW.
>> NEED A HAND, LITTLE MAN?
>> DO IT AGAIN AND YOU’LL TASTE
THE TIP OF MY BLADE!
OR WHAT?
>> I’M THE COMMANDING OFFICER.
FIGHTING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
>> YES, COMMANDER.
>> WHERE’S YOUR VOICE SOLDIER?
>> YES, COMMANDER.
>> Kim: WOW, THAT LOOKS REALLY
GOOD.
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?
HOW MANY REELS?
>> A DEFINITE 4 FOR ME.
IT WAS A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE.
IT IS DEFINITELY FOR AN OLDER
AUDIENCE, LIKE 16 AND UP.
BUT IT WAS INTERESTING, AND GOES
TO SHOW ABOUT FAMILY, ABOUT
PEOPLE, AND ABOUT EXCEPTION BACK
IN THE DAY.
SO I ENJOYED IT AND MY DAUGHTER
WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH THE FIRST
ONE ENJOYED THIS AS WELL.
>> Kim: GOOD TO KNOW.
WE HAVE THE NEW RELEASE ON
NETFLIX STARRING HILARY SWANK,
WHAT IS "AWAY" ALL ABOUT?
>> IT’S ABOUT THE FIRST LANDING
ON MARS.
SHE IS THE LEADER OF THE
SPACESHIP.
AND SHE IS FROM THE USA AND
YOU’VE GOT SOMEONE FROM RUSSIA,
CHINA, ENGLAND, AND THE MIDDLE
EAST, ALL KNOTS, ALL WITH
SPECIALTIES WITH THINGS THEY DO.
SO, OF COURSE, YOU’VE GOT THAT
MANY PEOPLE IN A LITTLE CYLINDER
FOR A LONG TIME, THERE
DEFINITELY IS GOING TO BE
FRICTION.
I TALKED TO HILARY SWANK ABOUT
THE MOVIE AND HERE’S WHAT SHE
HAD TO SAY.
>> YOU’VE GOT FIVE PEOPLE ON
BOARD.
YOU’RE ON CHARGE AND RUB A
COUPLE MALE EGOS WRONG.
BUT SHE PERSEVERED THROUGH.
>> DEFINITELY A LOT TO JUGGLE
AND THAT’S WHAT I LOVED ABOUT
THE SHOW, IT’S A CONSTANT
LIFE-OR-DEATH SITUATION THAT
THEY’RE MOVING THROUGH.
AND UNDERSTANDABLY, YOU WOULD
HAVE TO GAVE THE TRUST OF ANY
CREW THAT IS PUTTING THEIR LIFE
IN YOUR HANDS.
IT’S WRITTEN SO WELL, AND NOT
JUST BY THE MALE COUNTERPARTS
BUT BY HER FEMALE COUNTERPARTS
AS WELL.
AND IN TURN, THEY HAVE TO EARN
HER TRUST.
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
AND I THINK THAT’S ONE OF THE
THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE SHOW IS
YOU HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT RACES
AND THEN THE DIFFERENT GENDERS
AND WORRY IN THIS POSITION
WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT BREAKS
THROUGH THE STEREOTYPE AND WE’RE
CONNECTED BY THE HUMAN
CONNECTIVE TISSUE.
>> AND YOU’RE IN SPACE WITH A
HUSBAND AND TEENAGE DAUGHTER ON
EARTH.
SO STILL BEING A MOM.
>> THAT’S THE THING, EVEN IF
YOU’RE NOT GOING ON A MISSION TO
MARS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE,
NO MATTER WHAT GENDER YOU ARE,
THAT YOU ARE HAVING -- TRYING TO
FIND YOUR -- AND LIVE YOUR
FULLEST PURPOSE HERE ON EARTH
WHILE ALSO HAVING A FAMILY, AND
THAT MAY BE YOUR WHOLE PURPOSE,
BUT IT’S BUSY, THERE’S A LOT TO
JUGGLE AND HOW DO YOU JUGGLE
THAT AND HOW ARE YOU PRESENT FOR
BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AND SHOW UP
WITHOUT BEING COMPLETELY
STRESSED OUT?
>> Kim: AWESOME, YOU CAN’T GO
WRONG.
HOW MANY REELS FOR THIS ONE?
>> SINCE IT’S A SERIES, WE’LL
SAY IT’S A MUST-SEE.
IT’S 10 EPISODES, SO IF YOU WANT
TO, YOU CAN WATCH IT OVER THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
START TONIGHT, TOMORROW, AND SO
ON LIKE THAT.
IT’S GOOD.
IF IT WERE A MOVIE, I WOULD
DEFINITELY SAY A 4 FOR THAT.
THE REST OF THE CAST IS ALSO
VERY GOOD.
IN SOME SCENES, THEY’RE GOING
OVER HILLARY.
SO SOMETHING TO SEE.
>> Kim: IT’S A MUST-SEE AND
WE’RE GOOD AT BINGE WATCHING.
>> YES, WE ARE.
