for more on this story returned to our culture editor, scott roxborough, who gave us a reminder of exactly why salman rushdie is most controversial work. they satanic verses caused such an almighty stir. i think a lot of people talk about sam versus without really knowing what it's about, because i think it's of a book more famous of than rand, especially now since it's, it's so many decades old. i'm the book itself is not on merely about religion or, or islam. it's a story of 2 indian ex pats living in london who miraculously survive a terrorist attack. and like a lot of rusty's work, it's a satire and it's, it's the repent, has to sort of magically realistic elements throughout the book. and what's caused because defense at the time and still does for some people ease our dream sequences which are in the book which are sort of re collins of the traditional story of the life of the prophet mohammed and many muslims. at the time i took great offense that saying it was an insult to their religion. and that is what sparked a protest against the book at the time and led to the idaho many arra

let's bring in scott roxborough from d w culture. so scott did the 1st episode of this saw house of the dragon live up to the hype? yeah, for me actually, it did. i mean, i'm not sure if you were a fan of the original show game of thrones. i admit i was no, no. okay. well then for those of us who were a big fan, i think we've been jones ing for a of yours now waiting for another dose of the sort of west rose fantasy world. and this definitely livers on that front. i mean, it's got all the stuff that you expect from a game of thrones. you know, the iron thrown the internal battles, lots of sex and violence, and lots of dragons, lots and lots of drags in this show. it'll be interesting to see though, because it does do a few things differently than game of thrones. so it'll be interesting to see how fans respond under the show. i think it depends a lot on what you really liked from game of thrones. and what you did like is it double downs doubles down on certain aspects of the show and that world and leaves out leaves out. ok. ok, it's

an earlier my talk to are so next, but scott roxborough from d. w culture, as there are only very few german directors were able to make it in hollywood. i asked scott what made of compete as in stand out? well, i'm, i think peterson, i mean 1st. busy foremost he was incredible craftsman. i mean i'm, his technical ability were, oh was, was a, was phenomenal, is ability to come to really a catcher action or on screen in a way that felt realistic, but was also incredibly heightened and, and larger than life. i'm. and then we combine that with a real focus on character because every walk on peterson film at a center is a, is a real human being and his characters weren't superheroes. they were ordinary, a men um, put in extraordinary situations. and i think that combination of sort of, of a varies real, a realistic and am relatable. figure in an extraordinary, out of this world situation was what made his movies. so special music. we're seeing a couple of scenes from his most well known movies there. can you walk us through some of his biggest successe

only lawyer i spoke to scott roxborough who filed that report. yet? no it's, it's been quite amazing. i mean, i was he, the last 2 years when we had growing restrictions, when there were social test and saying and masking and so forth. that's all gone now and you really feel it here on the streets in venice. i was just walking past the red carpet and people are already camped out there waiting to see the stars of this night's opening night a film i'm and i think given some of the stars that we'll be seeing over the next a few days, including harry styles and timothy shalumi, i think we're going to see are really hundreds, maybe thousands of streaming, maybe even a few fainting fans, which is great to see because even though cinemas are open again, i've really missed this sort of real celebration of sentiments, of the fan frenzy that you only get at a festival like venice will do your best to keep it together. and netflix us for films in the running on the leader as a streaming giant not find me at one over cinema lummus i think so. yeah, i mean, venic

scott roxborough from d. w culture is here. so is the 1st episode. good? i thought so. yeah, i mean i'm, i'm, for those of us who've been waiting for 3 years since the, the, the last episode of the game of the 1st game of thrones series. i'm waiting in anticipation to see what they would bring out and how they would bring us back to west rose. i was really pleased. i mean, it's got basically everything you want from a game of thrones. it's got a, you know, a palace intrigue. it's got sex and violence, i'm and it's a lot of dragons, which is definitely definitely on my list that was over. i think. i mean, your thing, if i can say one negative thing about it. uh, there are a lot of platinum, blonde wiggs in the series looks a bit like an old duran duran video sometimes. but other than that, i think it's, it's, it's, it's quite impressive even though it is. the show is actually quite a bit different than the original original figure. how does it compare to the game of thrones itself? well, if the rituals, here's a mutual series was truly epic, right? you had all these huge
