Jeff Goldblum and Janet Mcteer Reveal All on Their New Netflix Series

Bridgeton and the crown are two of Netflix's biggest glossy shows but now the Greek gods have been given their own Series in new comedy drama chaos a modern retelling and re reinterpretation of Greek mythology think sort of Hercules meets succession do we like that the I've watched six of the episode couldn't sleep I went to bed thinking I'll watch one out of politeness just polite cuz they're on the show you know obsessed I got six I've got two more to go now it's brilliant that's fantastic that's that's really coming from you especially should we have a look at a bit of the show we have a look here we go this is chaos everyone it's so good uh I'm not sure that told you much though what's it basically about give us a give us a flavor you're looking at J it's about me you trying to say it's about you well no no no it's all about you as I'm concerned the Greek gods like you said um modern retelling hilariously funny moving and profound Charlie Kel wrote it the guardian gave it five stars and said it's a Triumph and a masterpiece what do you think about that and wait till you see the last two episodes I know oh is it all comes together I I will do I will do I'll watch it straight down but it is amazing you know that sort of the Zeus mythology it is about power and gender and politics and control and the and and and those very basic messages and story lines resonate so much today in a contemporary world but I think that's what's so amazing about the Mi isn't it because they they sort of they allow you to go from A to Z yeah you know so it's in certain senses a very a domestic drama we've been married for 2,000 years 2,000 years imagine that and she's my sister and he's my keep in family okay so nothing on there nothing on there at all and we share lovers so and open very open open marriage and but I get very jealous so well let's not no we no spoilers no spoilers but we were he is magnificent I'm going to say that he no he is you're magisterial no don't arree with me he's magnificent I sit your feet I do whatever she says I'm nothing it's not Obed well behaved so true you're obedient with me anyway I don't know whether you're obedient with bow to your Mastery and he is magnificent you are fabulously hot as well and as do you know what mean woman of a certain age you're not 12 I'm really not my 63d birthday and you are the hotest thing in the whole show I did a couple of weeks what I bless your heart that is defying a lot of things about women in movies and shows I know isn't that great it is it's really great it is great to be able to go you know you're you're playing the sort of the the sexual center of it as it were in some of the story and and that's really cool to to be allowed to do that in a woman in her 60s I remember when I got the I thought Cy I thought those days were over you know but apparently not you've never been more you're blossoming you've never been more alluring powerful nuanced and multi-dimensional and you're just scared of me which I like and is that fear on and off screen cuz you got on brilliantly didn't oh no we got on brilliantly but how could you not honestly he's so good in this he's he's and he's he's everything that we know that Jeff is you know the the quixotic and eccentric marginally and talented and Brilliant but he's also especially as the series goes on and we get more towards the Zed Factor oh he's gets incredibly scary see look at that that is frightening I look at you you make me still I find a Repose in myself that I've never experienced no you are as everybody knows you are an eighth deegree black belt Master at everything cinematic and Theatrical and and human it's just a Love Fest isn't it it really is on screen you kept you kept each other going by playing and singing together cuz you oh you how brilliant you are oh no he's brilliant so he would play he would play the piano in between and then we' sing she sings up a St like a Nale but you get quite emotional don't you when you perform I think you know sometimes there are tears aren't there when you when you perform as s yes perform what yeah yes when you're singing or when you're playing on the piano yeah it's true and or when I'm with you it's true um I you know have been trained my whole life and I wear my heart on my sleeve especially since having these two little boys I was watching you know my wife and I saw the first episode last night this is true really and I uh I was weepy I got weepy I it made me very emotional yeah yeah and Je you've done some amazing roles over the years I remember the line that was groundbreaking I massive at the box office Jurassic Park I mean there'll be families watching this we'll know we'll know those films inside out and now this which is a Netflix series how does this differ to doing those big film blockbuster movies is it does it feel different do you feel okay this is a whole different kind of thing or does it still feel as exciting as doing those big big Blockbusters as exciting if not more so essentially it's the same you're still acting with you know fantastic people directed by fantastic people you good part hopefully no that's the same this is a longer Form 8 hours is a nice length of a movie uh but you know essentially just trying to do the same pretend good you know are you working more do you do more work for these series and you would have done when you were doing the film is that what it is no no sort of it's not that different long you have a longer time to tell a story that's basically it now J you you're in America now how's life like in America well right now it's kind of tricky swiftly on um you know in terms of our political world it's not it's very but it's now quite hopeful over there what you think it being a Brit looking at American po I you might have also f is a strange strange yes it is and uh I fight well we're not going to seg go too far into that but it it is very strange and it's very living in a gun culture when you come from a place where we you know ours is not a gun culture is a very very very scary place to be je do you worry about what's happening in America very similar going through similar things here this sort of division in society polarization you know America stands for freedom and egalitarianism and everyone should come together are you worried about the future for someone like America this great country America I am aware and passionately um engaged in it the whole world seems to be susceptible as always to chaos of one kind or another but um I am optimistic that love and unity will find a way yeah democracy which makes I think what you do even more important I think telling those messages and portraying that sort of you know that those the mythology is a mythology but relatable to today is so and sort of in a strange kind of way once you've watched the entire series it is it is sort of an allegory of our world it's adjacent to it is yes and we are for want of a better phrase the most unpleasant of the 1% you know abusers of power Pretenders to the throne and finally unhinged in my case but right thinking people even with in my own family in the story and some good people on Earth unite finally I don't want to give anything away to possibly Turn the page with energ possibly but maybe not maybe not we'll see that's the question can the page be turned we have lots of children at home will want to know they're big fans of Jurassic part there's always been talk about whether there'll be another one whether it will come back if it does would you be part of it oh there is there is would you would you be part of it Jonathan Bailey who you were also you Scarlet Johansson is in it done a thing or two with yep I'm excited about it no I'm not in it but I'll be the first one there I'll be in believe you're not in it I believe I just think it's weird I'll be in a sleeping bag on the sidewalk for that to go in ticket you will
