good morning, everyone. and welcome to urban update. i'm byron barnett. on the show this morning, the new england aquarium invites to you discover a paradise unlike any other. also on the program, how do you feel about the way boston accents are portrayed in the movies? boston globe film critic ty burr joins us to discuss this very topic. and of course love is in the air as today's valentine's day and we'll have some great ideas for both the fellas and the ladies. but up first, the results of the

but what do they mean for you and me here in massachusetts? earlier this week on the republican side, donald trump topped the list while democrat bernie sanders won in impressive fashion over hillary clinton. to discuss this very interesting primary, we've invited boston globe alex kingsbury to the show. welcome to urban update, thanks for coming in. i was in new hampshire during the week between new hampshire and iowa. you were there, as well. what stood out so it jumped out at you being the crazy time period? well, i think, you know, on the surface, it's everything you'd expect in a new hampshire primary. people are out there, lots of town hawcialtion asking good questions. you know, candidates kissing the babies and shaking the hands and so forth. but in the end we ended up with a result, that while expected, was really surprising, not just that donald trump sort of dominated the g.o.p. field that in a way that -- again, he was

which he won, the numbers really, really stood out. and the same with bern see sanders. again, expected to beat off hillary clinton but coming off a tie in iowa i think people would have expected something a little different. >> bernie sanders, donald trump, the whole antiestablishment thing, it really seemed to just play out right here in new hampshire. >> that it did. i wrote in the globe we're both able to capitalize on sorted of the furious fringes. on the right you had donald trump really capitalizing on a part of the electorate that they felt wasn't being served by the establishment. these are people really angry. you talk to donald trump supporters and hear a lot of this. bernie sanders on the same side from the left dealing with a motivated angry group of the electorate that just is not satisfied with what they're getting out of the standard politician. so i think, you know, that

people in the middle, bush, clinton, kasich, you know, all those people were sort of left behind. >> did he. one of the problems that the new hampshire primary has in general, people say, is when you're looking at nationwide election, it's very white. the political affiliations are very sort nebulous. people change affiliations all the time, independence, so on and so on. as the primary moves forward, we're going to places like south carolina, and that presents a whole new demographic for people like clinton and sanders. >> and this week bernie sanders went to harlem to meet reverend al sharpton. they went to silvia's restaurant, there was crowds outside cheering.

what do you think was up with that? a remarkable scene, a 20. really something. clearly bernie knows this race is going to go on for a long time. they're both in this for the long hall. and the reality is america is a very changing place. and you know, he's trying to -- >> he's trying to cut into hillary's support among black voters. >> to put it direct leash exactly. this is a nation with changing demographics and bernie knows he needs to reach out to them. >> you wrote a column this week talking about the whole bloomberg effect calling bloomberg maybe the biggest winner here in new hampshire. >> he sent out a whole bunch of trial baloons maybe i'll run for president. he's been saying it for years. but it's interesting that the new big winners of new hampshire were antiestablishment candidates. bloomberg has had his sort of entire career running as a

independent the next so a candidate maybe seems more appealing. >> chris christie did all that work and really damaged marco rubio bad fully that debate. but he really wasn't the one to benefit from it. as it turns out, john kasich is the one who came out in second place. >> yeah, kasich worked really hard for his support in new hampshire, the globe editorial page endorsed him. he won a lot of support from the sort of new england moderate republican field. one of the things with christie leaving the race, his supporters are now up for grabs. they're probably not gonna go to trump or somebody like ted cruz. and the people who will benefit from christie leaving are people like kasich and bush. those support letters go somewhere. and both of those candidates have a good shot to sweep them up.

obviously, i don't think anybody could have predicted that we'd be looking at donald trump and bernie sanders in the positions that they are today. i guess, how do you see the race shaping up along the republican side? well, on the republican side, who knows, it's one of the things that allows newspaper columnists to throw things at people like michael bloomberg. who knows where we'll in a year. as we know, the rule books can get thrown out of the window. so a lot up for grabs. >> and on the democratic side, the sword that the hillary clinton people are counting on the march primaries when there's many more delegates up for grabs. many more diverse states will be voting. that's where they think they're going to make their mark. what do you think? can bernie sanders tap into her base at all?

i think somebody like ted cruz on the g.o.p. side maybe has the longevity to win and clinton seems to have the support that she'll need to win a national election, if i had to bet. >> okay. i'd be does he feel bet after this year. alex kingsbury, the boston globe. thanks for coming in and the great chat about the new hampshire primary, we'll see what this reality show brings next. >> yeah, we will. >> thanks, alex. coming up, a spirn takes from the new england aquarium. all the info right here on issue bonn update. stay with us.

she's about 530 pounds or so, and she's quite a spectacular animal to see. >> what's the most common question that you get asked? >> always if i'm scared. people come up and they're spiraling around exhibit and see large barracudas and morey eels and sharks and people are always concerned we're worried to be in there but i've been in there so many different times and interacted with the animals, i don't get neb us at all. it's honestly just a blast to be >> well, better than me. happy to watch. >> many of them don't need this is new england's largest movie screen. what is that experience strike. >> 392 seats. stadium seating.

so come in, have a good time. >> all right. mark henderson and christine sinnigen, thanks for coming in and have fun this week coming up. >> thank you. >> okay. when we return, does hollywood get our boston accent right in the movies? we'll talk to ty burr, film critic for the boston globe

>> "pahk the cah in havahd yahd," yep, that's our beloved accent, right? but my question is when will hollywood get boston accents right? actually, this is the question we talk to with our next guest because that was the title of the column last sunday that he wrote. he joins us this morning to get into more details. this is a fun one. >> it is fun.

middle of brookline. >> what happened to your sack sent? my parents didn't have one. i grew up next door to people who have the accident. it's genetic. you have it or you don't. and wherever i did outside the boston area, people say you don't sound like you're from boston. >> you mean, we're the ones with the a accident, not everybody else? >> you pointed out that right. >> well, it's really, really difficult. i talk to actors and they say that and the south african a accents are the two accents that are tough to get right. >> so i'm going to queue this up. there was one movie, goodwill hunting. >> wonderful movie. >> and great actor who passed away, robin williams. >> right, total face plant on the accent. i mean, he's really whacking it

you know, you can't work it hard. it has to come really unforced. >> so we're looking at him now and speaking of matt damon who's in there with goodwill hunting and also another movie, the departed. >> the departed. right. >> the accent somebody kind of forced in that one, too and you would think he would know how to do it, and i've seen ben affleck movies where it's kind of like he's putting on a coat that's not quite his size. to him. >> speaking of those guys, matt damon and ben affleck, what did town? those were pretty good. i still think one of the best boston accents i've ever heard was amy ryan in gone, baby gone. she says things that i can't say on the air but nails that accent good. >> all right, so before we go on, there is a piece going on,

here on nbc, you know what i'm yes. fake movie taylor, boston accent. >> let's take a look at that. >> in a town where loyalty is king, with a line between right and wrong is blurred and justice is anything but lined, one thing reign os supreme. >> you all know me. i'm not just a cop. i'm a father, i'm a son, and above all, i'm from boston. bobby accent. critics are calling boston accent, gritty, emotional and accents this year. the politician with the upscale kennedy type boston accent. >> i am the mayor of boston, and i was elected to clean up this town, but that doesn't mean -- >> so apparently, this is a big thing nationally, right? >> well, there have been enough

that it's now a thing. and it didn't just go viral in new england but all around because it's a recognizable thing. one of the things i like in this is the one character who doesn't have the accent at all and literally says i'm off to park the car in harvard yard. you know, honestly as somebody who just doesn't have the accent and i know people who don't have the accent. there's plenty of us here. so nice to hear a shout-out for us. >> you do give a good shout-out for the finest hour. that one got it right. >> that one got it right. you can tell the actors kind of get it right and the ones that don't quite come close. casey affleck is in it and in another movie coming out later this year called manchester by the sea. and he lives it. he knows how to just put it throughout so it feels like it's lived in the character, and you can always tell when an actor is putting it on. >> as a bostonian, you know that my friend charlestown had a little different accent. >> right. that's what actors don't realize.

it's regional, it's town by town, block by block, it's neighborhood by naked. >> but you can't describe it, but you can tell. >> right. i can tell when somebody's from medford as opposed to brighton but i wouldn't be able to say how or why. but if you development ear, you can definitely hear it. >> all right, ty, hey, listen, today you've got a great column on deal-breaking movies. >> yes. valentine's movies. the movie when you see a girlfriend, a boyfriend, and you're getting serious, and you gotta show her or him the movie that if they don't like, there's gonna be some serious, serious problems there. >> what's the deal-breaking movie for you? >> for me, you know, i was seeing a girl and liked her a lot and i sat her down to watch pee-wee's big adventure. and if she did not laugh at that movie, it would be problems. it's our 25th anniversary in two months. so it worked out. >> i guess mine would be halloween. >> yes.

then grease. grease. >> exactly. halloween you're asking a lot, maybe, but grease, you're good. >> ty burr, boston globe, awesome. coming up next, creative ideas for today's valentine's day and beyond. all the details right here on
