We'll put a caveat the show notes. 39 00:02:01,624 --> 00:02:03,944 Speaker 1: They might not, but they'll you know, they'll they'll work 40 00:02:03,984 --> 00:02:07,224 Speaker 1: as hard as they can. Yeah, because movies have such 41 00:02:07,344 --> 00:02:09,224 Speaker 1: a kind of I think, a special place in our 42 00:02:09,264 --> 00:02:11,584 Speaker 1: lives in terms of, like so many of our core 43 00:02:11,624 --> 00:02:14,864 Speaker 1: memories are formed around the movies that we grew up with, 44 00:02:14,984 --> 00:02:17,264 Speaker 1: movies that we've watched with families, movies that we've watched 45 00:02:17,264 --> 00:02:19,584 Speaker 1: a sleepovers with friends, movies that you went on a 46 00:02:19,584 --> 00:02:22,704 Speaker 1: first date, movies that you've watched on a plane going 47 00:02:22,744 --> 00:02:25,664 Speaker 1: on an adventure. Like So it was really hard to 48 00:02:25,944 --> 00:02:28,584 Speaker 1: kind of narrow it down. But we've both picked some 49 00:02:28,664 --> 00:02:31,944 Speaker 1: movies that are kind of the ultimate escapism from real life. 50 00:02:32,024 --> 00:02:36,424 Speaker 2: Yes, and we have talked about escapism movies before, but 51 00:02:36,544 --> 00:02:38,384 Speaker 2: this is I think more in the sense of that 52 00:02:38,424 --> 00:02:41,304 Speaker 2: are so far removed from our lives. 53 00:02:41,384 --> 00:02:44,584 Speaker 1: Like look, I think our last escapeism Movies episode, which 54 00:02:44,744 --> 00:02:46,384 Speaker 1: will link in the show notes, was more based on 55 00:02:46,424 --> 00:02:48,104 Speaker 1: travels were I was about to go on my cruise 56 00:02:48,104 --> 00:02:50,984 Speaker 1: with the psychic predicted.

I know some people. Obviously, 141 00:06:17,424 --> 00:06:18,864 Speaker 1: that movie scared the shit out of me. When I 142 00:06:18,904 --> 00:06:20,344 Speaker 1: was a kid, I was way too scared to go 143 00:06:20,424 --> 00:06:22,384 Speaker 1: to sleep in case a raptor was in my bed, 144 00:06:22,544 --> 00:06:25,504 Speaker 1: or the dinosaur with the thrill thing that kills that shoots. 145 00:06:25,544 --> 00:06:28,384 Speaker 1: Think obviously I war nothing but dinosaurs from this movie. 146 00:06:28,424 --> 00:06:29,904 Speaker 1: But as you're saying that, I am getting a little 147 00:06:29,904 --> 00:06:31,544 Speaker 1: bit of a company moment because I'm hearing. 148 00:06:33,024 --> 00:06:36,064 Speaker 2: And you're looking out, Yeah that is John Williams famous theme. 149 00:06:37,024 --> 00:06:41,024 Speaker 2: And you're looking at like the beautiful rackeosauruses in like 150 00:06:41,104 --> 00:06:42,864 Speaker 2: eating the trees and watching them. 151 00:06:43,064 --> 00:06:45,824 Speaker 1: There is a look. If you stop Jurassic Park at 152 00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:48,624 Speaker 1: a certain point, it's just a lovely family movie. If 153 00:06:48,664 --> 00:06:51,024 Speaker 1: you stop it before the t rex gets out, that's 154 00:06:51,144 --> 00:06:52,264 Speaker 1: just that's a cute movie. 155 00:06:52,464 --> 00:06:56,224 Speaker 2: The reason I picked this one because it's not okay. 156 00:06:56,304 --> 00:06:59,544 Speaker 2: I took the brief very seriously because good we said 157 00:06:59,704 --> 00:07:05,384 Speaker 2: happy place, escapism, nothing said anything about safety from dinosaurs. 158 00:07:05,424 --> 00:07:08,424 Speaker 2: So that's why I chose it. My favorite cast ever, 159 00:07:08,864 --> 00:07:13,504 Speaker 2: Sam Neil, Laura Den, Jeff Goldbloom, Richard Edinburgh who's David 160 00:07:13,584 --> 00:07:15,944 Speaker 2: Edinburgh's brother that I only realized recently. 161 00:07:15,704 --> 00:07:18,744 Speaker 1: Jeff Goldbloom, who we bumped shoulders with the other day 162 00:07:18,824 --> 00:07:21,224 Speaker 1: at the Wicked premiere when he said, that's this is crazy. 163 00:07:21,664 --> 00:07:23,384 Speaker 2: We know, and I missed my opportunity saying I love 164 00:07:23,464 --> 00:07:25,584 Speaker 2: Jurassic par Park, You're my favorite. 165 00:07:25,704 --> 00:07:26,544 Speaker 1: He would have loved that. 166 00:07:26,824 --> 00:07:28,744 Speaker 2: Jurassic Park is just one of those movies that I 167 00:07:28,784 --> 00:07:32,424 Speaker 2: always go to because, as you said, it is quite 168 00:07:32,464 --> 00:07:34,944 Speaker 2: It has scary elements like these dinosaurs are trying to 169 00:07:34,984 --> 00:07:37,864 Speaker 2: eat these people, which can I say, Firstly, the t 170 00:07:38,064 --> 00:07:42,024 Speaker 2: rex wasn't actually in Jurassic period, so we've a bit 171 00:07:42,064 --> 00:07:46,024 Speaker 2: of a scientific failure on that part.

Like I've watched that scene on 495 00:20:46,904 --> 00:20:50,744 Speaker 2: repeat of him and Hagrid shopping for like his school list. 496 00:20:50,984 --> 00:20:54,224 Speaker 1: That is a great scene, So great because you're experiencing 497 00:20:54,224 --> 00:20:54,984 Speaker 1: those things. 498 00:20:54,744 --> 00:20:55,784 Speaker 3: With Harry Potter. 499 00:20:56,024 --> 00:20:59,424 Speaker 2: You're like, this is crazy, Harry, You're right, this is insane. 500 00:20:59,704 --> 00:21:03,304 Speaker 2: You need an owl. That's crazy. You needed wand and 501 00:21:03,344 --> 00:21:04,624 Speaker 2: it's like quite a scary one. 502 00:21:04,744 --> 00:21:05,664 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. 503 00:21:05,864 --> 00:21:07,664 Speaker 2: And the one guy's not telling you why it's w 504 00:21:08,024 --> 00:21:11,184 Speaker 2: that's crazy. Like so much has happened, just twelve year 505 00:21:11,224 --> 00:21:12,224 Speaker 2: old boy and now I have. 506 00:21:12,344 --> 00:21:15,624 Speaker 1: To save the word. And it doesn't even know it's 507 00:21:15,664 --> 00:21:16,344 Speaker 1: getting stressed. 508 00:21:17,544 --> 00:21:21,304 Speaker 3: He just wants to escape his shitty family. He doesn't 509 00:21:21,304 --> 00:21:23,864 Speaker 3: even know it. Imagine having a family so bad. 510 00:21:23,904 --> 00:21:26,224 Speaker 2: And you're like, I'm just gonna go with you, strange 511 00:21:26,264 --> 00:21:27,824 Speaker 2: man size. 512 00:21:28,624 --> 00:21:32,064 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Look, the first movie is very magical. I'll 513 00:21:32,104 --> 00:21:33,624 Speaker 1: give you that. I don't want you to hate me 514 00:21:33,624 --> 00:21:35,384 Speaker 1: if what I'm about to say, But I love the 515 00:21:35,424 --> 00:21:39,224 Speaker 1: Harry Potter books. I think they're exceptionally well written. Obviously JK. 516 00:21:39,344 --> 00:21:42,104 Speaker 1: Rowling not a fan of her anymore. Me and the 517 00:21:42,104 --> 00:21:45,664 Speaker 1: rest of the world. I don't love the Harry Potter movies. Okay, 518 00:21:45,904 --> 00:21:50,304 Speaker 1: they feel like pale but the first one is the 519 00:21:50,344 --> 00:21:53,944 Speaker 1: first is the escapism because also with the first one, 520 00:21:53,984 --> 00:21:57,504 Speaker 1: the way it ends, you could pretend that to standalone movie. 521 00:21:57,864 --> 00:22:00,904 Speaker 2: I think where it becomes more plot line over like 522 00:22:01,064 --> 00:22:03,944 Speaker 2: Magical is like second movie going forward. So you have 523 00:22:03,944 --> 00:22:06,304 Speaker 2: to be really into the Harry Potter universe to want 524 00:22:06,304 --> 00:22:07,704 Speaker 2: to know what happens. 525 00:22:07,744 --> 00:22:08,024 Speaker 1: I guess. 526 00:22:08,064 --> 00:22:09,584 Speaker 2: I mean, we all know what happens, but I think 527 00:22:09,584 --> 00:22:11,584 Speaker 2: the first one is the one that can actually stand 528 00:22:11,624 --> 00:22:13,544 Speaker 2: alone as a movie, and you can pretend the others 529 00:22:13,544 --> 00:22:14,784 Speaker 2: aren't there if you want to. 530 00:22:15,224 --> 00:22:17,704 Speaker 3: I don't do that because I'm a diehard fan. Yeah, okay, 531 00:22:17,824 --> 00:22:18,664 Speaker 3: that's my true love. 532 00:22:18,704 --> 00:22:23,944 Speaker 1: That little under the radar, little indie recommendation, Harry Potter franchise. 533 00:22:24,584 --> 00:22:26,984 Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys heard of it, but okay. 534 00:22:26,784 --> 00:22:28,984 Speaker 1: I've swung in a wildly different way of my last 535 00:22:28,984 --> 00:22:31,064 Speaker 1: one here, so we're a non fantasy. So the way 536 00:22:31,064 --> 00:22:33,224 Speaker 1: I found this, I was getting very overwhelmed picking because 537 00:22:33,224 --> 00:22:35,184 Speaker 1: movies in my whole life. I was getting very overwhelmed 538 00:22:35,224 --> 00:22:37,544 Speaker 1: as we came into the studio trying to pick one, 539 00:22:37,584 --> 00:22:40,864 Speaker 1: and so in my stress induced state, I just went 540 00:22:40,904 --> 00:22:43,784 Speaker 1: through like all the different streamers I have, you know, Binge, Stand, Netflix, Prime, 541 00:22:43,824 --> 00:22:46,784 Speaker 1: all of those, looking through my recently watched list and 542 00:22:46,904 --> 00:22:49,664 Speaker 1: my save list to see which movies. I'm like, God, 543 00:22:49,664 --> 00:22:51,184 Speaker 1: what have I watched recently? And what do I watch 544 00:22:51,184 --> 00:22:52,784 Speaker 1: over and over again? And I think I came up 545 00:22:52,784 --> 00:22:55,744 Speaker 1: with a real banger, the movie that defined my teenage 546 00:22:55,784 --> 00:22:58,584 Speaker 1: years and just made me feel like every single thing 547 00:22:58,624 --> 00:23:01,984 Speaker 1: could be fixed with a song. And that movie is 548 00:23:02,584 --> 00:23:03,224 Speaker 1: Cody Ugly. 549 00:23:03,384 --> 00:23:04,464 Speaker 3: That's a good one. 550 00:23:04,504 --> 00:23:06,824 Speaker 1: Isn't that a great movie? It has recently come to 551 00:23:06,864 --> 00:23:09,784 Speaker 1: my attention when Lee and Rimes was in Australia because 552 00:23:09,824 --> 00:23:12,344 Speaker 1: she sung the theme song play Cody Ugly, Don't Fight 553 00:23:12,384 --> 00:23:14,704 Speaker 1: the Moonlight, one of the greatest songs of all time 554 00:23:14,824 --> 00:23:18,304 Speaker 1: and the backing track to my teenage years. And when 555 00:23:18,304 --> 00:23:19,864 Speaker 1: she was in Australia, people like, oh what has she 556 00:23:19,904 --> 00:23:21,704 Speaker 1: ever done? I'm like, only sing the best song in 557 00:23:21,704 --> 00:23:23,944 Speaker 1: the whole world, like put some respect on her name. 558 00:23:24,264 --> 00:23:26,264 Speaker 2: That's also one of the movies that I watched when 559 00:23:26,264 --> 00:23:29,504 Speaker 2: I was a young kid. You should watch because there 560 00:23:29,544 --> 00:23:31,184 Speaker 2: were scenes where my mum made micholos my eyes. 561 00:23:31,304 --> 00:23:34,664 Speaker 1: Yeah. It's the ultimate ultimate escapism. So it came out 562 00:23:34,744 --> 00:23:36,464 Speaker 1: in the year two thousand, if you want to cast 563 00:23:36,464 --> 00:23:39,224 Speaker 1: your mind back that long. Weirdly based on an article 564 00:23:39,264 --> 00:23:43,144 Speaker 1: that Elizabeth Gilbert wrote, No, yes, what yeah about a bar. 565 00:23:43,304 --> 00:23:46,664 Speaker 1: She wrote a story like she wrote like a yeah right. 566 00:23:46,544 --> 00:23:47,904 Speaker 3: So this is all like an article. 567 00:23:48,064 --> 00:23:51,104 Speaker 1: So like this and Pray Love in the same cinematic universe, 568 00:23:51,144 --> 00:23:53,024 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Funny, it's such a great car. 569 00:23:53,104 --> 00:23:56,384 Speaker 1: So Piper Prebo is the lead actress. Oh I'm such 570 00:23:56,384 --> 00:23:59,304 Speaker 1: a Piper a Prebo fan just from this. Plays Violet 571 00:23:59,384 --> 00:24:02,304 Speaker 1: in this tiny little town. She wants to be a songwriter, 572 00:24:02,504 --> 00:24:05,304 Speaker 1: not a singer, because she's got terrible stage fright. Shows. 573 00:24:05,304 --> 00:24:07,064 Speaker 1: She goes to New York try and make it, and 574 00:24:07,104 --> 00:24:09,024 Speaker 1: she ends up getting a job in a bar called 575 00:24:09,104 --> 00:24:12,184 Speaker 1: Coyote Ugly where she has to be a coyote and 576 00:24:12,264 --> 00:24:14,304 Speaker 1: which means and as a teen, I thought this was 577 00:24:14,304 --> 00:24:16,784 Speaker 1: the coolest job you could ever have. They're bartenders, but 578 00:24:16,824 --> 00:24:19,464 Speaker 1: they also get up and do these incredible choreograph dances 579 00:24:19,584 --> 00:24:21,904 Speaker 1: on the bar and they spray them in with soda, yeah, 580 00:24:21,944 --> 00:24:24,744 Speaker 1: and water and stuff, and so she's trying to like 581 00:24:24,944 --> 00:24:27,184 Speaker 1: get her songs heard. She also meets and falls in 582 00:24:27,184 --> 00:24:30,784 Speaker 1: love with Adam Garcia. It's just such an incredible cast. Sorry, 583 00:24:30,784 --> 00:24:32,304 Speaker 1: it's such a fun movie. And you know what, it 584 00:24:32,344 --> 00:24:35,704 Speaker 1: got absolutely panned by critics when it came out. They 585 00:24:35,704 --> 00:24:37,544 Speaker 1: were like, this is the worst movie ever. Don't see it. 586 00:24:37,544 --> 00:24:40,624 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. And then the people said, we won't stand 587 00:24:40,624 --> 00:24:42,024 Speaker 1: for that, and it ended up making quite a lot 588 00:24:42,024 --> 00:24:43,544 Speaker 1: of money and it went on to be an absolute 589 00:24:43,584 --> 00:24:46,784 Speaker 1: cult favorite. And I once pitched an article at Mamma 590 00:24:46,864 --> 00:24:49,784 Speaker 1: that every good life lesson I learned came from Cody 591 00:24:49,904 --> 00:24:52,504 Speaker 1: Ugly and it didn't get picked up. But there's a 592 00:24:52,504 --> 00:24:55,224 Speaker 1: great scene when maybe now's your redemption Now. I write 593 00:24:55,224 --> 00:24:57,904 Speaker 1: it this week because I was just kind of entertainment now, 594 00:24:57,904 --> 00:25:00,224 Speaker 1: you know what, I have been promoted many times since 595 00:25:00,264 --> 00:25:02,424 Speaker 1: I so now I'm the boss. Maybe maybe I'll pitch 596 00:25:02,464 --> 00:25:04,504 Speaker 1: it now because I think there's a great scene where 597 00:25:04,544 --> 00:25:06,504 Speaker 1: they're sort of talking about their dreams, and everyone's dream 598 00:25:06,584 --> 00:25:08,104 Speaker 1: is to like hers is like to be a singer 599 00:25:08,184 --> 00:25:09,784 Speaker 1: or interde this and that, and Adam Garcia is like 600 00:25:10,344 --> 00:25:11,824 Speaker 1: it was just to be living in New York and 601 00:25:11,864 --> 00:25:14,504 Speaker 1: having my on my own two feet and like supporting myself, 602 00:25:14,504 --> 00:25:16,504 Speaker 1: and like that's my dream and I'm living it and 603 00:25:16,544 --> 00:25:18,184 Speaker 1: sorry that you think is not good enough. And sometimes 604 00:25:18,224 --> 00:25:21,144 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, like sometimes your dream is just living 605 00:25:21,184 --> 00:25:23,904 Speaker 1: in the place you want and supporting yourself and just 606 00:25:24,024 --> 00:25:28,064 Speaker 1: enjoying your life every day. Adam Garcia, he was one 607 00:25:28,104 --> 00:25:28,704 Speaker 1: of the girls. 608 00:25:29,624 --> 00:25:30,744 Speaker 3: He was one of the girls. 609 00:25:31,024 --> 00:25:33,584 Speaker 1: He was years too early for instagram ware. That quote 610 00:25:33,584 --> 00:25:36,704 Speaker 1: would have just gone off. So anyway, Cody Ugly, It's 611 00:25:36,744 --> 00:25:39,504 Speaker 1: just a rollicking good time. It's such a fun movie, 612 00:25:40,184 --> 00:25:43,024 Speaker 1: and all the when she actually does get up to sing, 613 00:25:43,584 --> 00:25:45,984 Speaker 1: all of the problems go away. Everything is fixed in 614 00:25:46,024 --> 00:25:48,344 Speaker 1: that moment. It's kind of like Center Stage, which was 615 00:25:48,344 --> 00:25:50,784 Speaker 1: my other movie obsession around that time, where everything is 616 00:25:50,824 --> 00:25:52,864 Speaker 1: fixed when she does the dance then or Save the 617 00:25:52,944 --> 00:25:56,504 Speaker 1: Last Dance, where everything is that's a good raise your voice, 618 00:25:56,504 --> 00:25:59,384 Speaker 1: where everything is six where she sings the end, or 619 00:25:59,384 --> 00:26:01,984 Speaker 1: when she sings the classroom, yeah, bring or on stage 620 00:26:01,984 --> 00:26:04,104 Speaker 1: to the end, Bring back movies where everything is fixed 621 00:26:04,144 --> 00:26:05,984 Speaker 1: with the song and a dance.
