What's on the tape

A transcript, made by machine from the audio and tidied up. It gets names and the odd word wrong, so treat it as a way to find the bit you want rather than as a quotation. Every timestamp jumps to that moment in the video.

0:03 Station celebrating the DVD and Blu-ray release of X-Men first Class where there's a pop-up Lounge in homage to the University graduate with the power to read minds. Has been under CIA surveillance for some time when an agent tracks him down to help her recruit a team of mutants their mission is to take on Sebastian. Shaw a supremist plotting nuclear Armageddon between America and Russia X-Men first Class comes out on DVD today um it it's a a great well you everyone knows the franchise. But this is the best version of that franchise directed by Matt Vaughn who's an amazing Storyteller with lots of young and hip and gorgeous actors.

0:55 And xavior can read minds and you're going to get into my head the thing is there's lots of things going through your head many things going through your head. So the important thing is I need you to isolate one thought okay one simple thought for example uh the easiest thing is to isolate say. A name you got a name in mind uh don't say anything about what it might be it what I want you to do I'll give you a little. Area to focus on I I'll draw a little circle here okay and I want you to write the name in there so you're thinking about a first name. Yep now it could be male or female but you just told me it's male don't say anything no way don't give anything away it is M. Yes it is now do not give anything away so look at me I'm going to go through letters of the alphabet don't say anything very quick think about the letters in the name.

1:49 At me look at me a b c d e f g h I j k l m n o look at me p q r. S s t u v WX y. Z I got a couple if he got that from that I going be blown away I got a name go on it is a guy's. Right I reckon it's this what was the Frank no way my God I'm a real life Professor X that's why we're here today oh what happened. There I just teleported us from Victoria Station how did you do that that's just going hour oh you're sneaky I'm watching out for you good loud. Good loud Jason tell me about the DVD extras um well most of the stuff in the DVD extras that I love is all the stuff about the prosthetic.

2:40 Makeup and um how they turned beautiful Jennifer Lawrence into a big blue Smurf like thing um yeah so I find all that stuff really fascinating. So that's the I think the best bit there's also about 25 minutes of extra footage now the action scenes that you did in the film. Looked really cool like disappearing and reappearing and grabbing people and doing stuff like that uh were they physically demanding it was you had to be fit really to do this one and um I love all that stuff I do you know trions. And calks and and have done marathons and stuff so anything that's physically demanding I find exciting anyway so any excuse to train is a good thing. Now if you could have any superhero powers in real life what would you choose and what would you do with them like I said I mean it's like all boys I'm afraid it's got be x-ray.
