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, weve 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, its everything youd 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 were 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 wasnt 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 theyre 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 youre looking at nationwide election, its 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, were 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 silvias 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. Theyre both in this for the long hall. And the reality is america is a very changing place. And you know, hes trying to hes trying to cut into hillarys 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 ill run for president. Hes been saying it for years. But its 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 wasnt 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. Theyre 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 dont think anybody could have predicted that wed 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, its one of the things that allows newspaper columnists to throw things at people like michael bloomberg. Who knows where well 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 theres many more delegates up for grabs. Many more diverse states will be voting. Thats where they think theyre 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 shell need to win a national election, if i had to bet. Okay. Id 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, well see what this reality show brings next. Yeah, we will. Thanks, alex.

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 . Well talk to ty burr, film critic for the boston globe pahk the cah in havahd yahd, yep, thats 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 didnt have one. I grew up next door to people who have the accident. Its genetic. You have it or you dont. And wherever i did outside the boston area, people say you dont sound like youre from boston. You mean, were the ones with the a accident, not everybody else . You pointed out that right. Well, its 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 im 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, hes really whacking it you know, you cant work it hard. It has to come really unforced. So were looking at him now and speaking of matt damon whos 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 ive seen ben affleck movies where its kind of like hes putting on a coat thats 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 ive ever heard was amy ryan in gone, baby gone. She says things that i cant 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 im yes. Fake movie taylor, boston accent. Lets 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. Im not just a cop. Im a father, im a son, and above all, im 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 doesnt mean so apparently, this is a big thing nationally, right . Well, there have been enough that its now a thing. And it didnt just go viral in new england but all around because its a recognizable thing. One of the things i like in this is the one character who doesnt have the accent at all and literally says im off to park the car in harvard yard. You know, honestly as somebody who just doesnt have the accent and i know people who dont have the accent. Theres plenty of us here. So nice to hear a shoutout for us. You do give a good shoutout 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 dont 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 its 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. Thats what actors dont realize. Its regional, its town by town, block by block, its neighborhood by naked. But you cant describe it, but you can tell. Right. I can tell when somebodys from medford as opposed to brighton but i wouldnt be able to say how or why. But if you development ear, you can definitely hear it. All right, ty, hey, listen, today youve got a great column on dealbreaking movies. Yes. Valentines movies. The movie when you see a girlfriend, a boyfriend, and youre getting serious, and you gotta show her or him the movie that if they dont like, theres gonna be some serious, Serious Problems there. Whats the dealbreaking movie for you . For me, you know, i was seeing a girl and liked her a lot and i sat her down to watch peewees big adventure. And if she did not laugh at that movie, it would be problems. Its our 25th anniversary in two months. So it worked out. I guess mine would be halloween. Yes. Then grease. Grease. Exactly. Halloween youre asking a lot, maybe, but grease, youre good. Ty burr, boston globe, awesome. Coming up next, Creative Ideas for todays valentines day and beyond.
