Two Blokes Talking Tech

A buttoned-up marketing executive just wants to get home to Chicago for Thanksgiving, but every flight, train, and rental car conspires against him.

Stuck sharing the journey with an overly chatty, relentlessly good-natured shower curtain ring salesman, what starts as pure irritation slowly turns into one of the most unexpected friendships in movie history.

It is Steve Martin and John Candy at their absolute best, hilarious right up until it quietly breaks your heart, and if you have never seen it, The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, is giving you the perfect reason to do so.

Stephen and Val are in the US as guests of Meta at Connect 26 at the Menlo Park campus where the company made some major product announcements.

Also announced were the Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses Audio - no camera and released at a time when there were privacy concerns about the company's camera glasses. And they also announced an update that can turn Meta glasses into a hearing aid.

Muse is the new Meta AI agent which has just been released in the US and coming soon to Australia. Zuckerberg also revealed a small handheld device called the Muse Charm that can allow users to interact with their Muse without needing a computer or phones.

And OpenAI has hacked an Australia Government website - what now??

An unemployed, twice-divorced mum with no legal training talks her way into a filing job at a law firm, and stumbles across a stack of documents that do not add up.

What she uncovers is a cover-up big enough to take down a billion-dollar energy company, and she is the only one stubborn enough to chase it all the way.

It won Julia Roberts an Oscar and is one of the most quietly powerful true stories Hollywood has ever told, and if you have never sat down and watched it, The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, is your excuse to finally fix that.

A shy, socially awkward mechanical genius loses his job at the Melbourne tram depot for the crime of building his own tram, just for fun.

Down on his luck, he takes in a couple of boarders who turn out to be small-time crooks, and it isn't long before his gift for inventing gadgets gets put to a very different use, planning one of the most inventive heists ever put on film.

It swept the AFI Awards, it is proudly, uniquely Australian, and if you have somehow never seen it, that is exactly the gap The Best Movies You've Never Seen, thanks to Fetch and Hisense, exists to fill.
