1
00:00:08,234 --> 00:00:19,714
Speaker 1: You're listening to Amma Mia podcast from Mamma Mia.

2
00:00:19,914 --> 00:00:23,034
Speaker 2: Welcome to this fill your daily pop culture fixed. I'm

3
00:00:23,114 --> 00:00:26,273
Speaker 2: Laura Brodnick and I'm a Burnham and welcome to the

4
00:00:26,274 --> 00:00:28,674
Speaker 2: brudly honest review of a new Room Cam on Netflix

5
00:00:28,714 --> 00:00:31,354
Speaker 2: that everyone has been talking about for different reasons.

6
00:00:31,794 --> 00:00:36,354
Speaker 1: People we meet on vacation, Yes, Yes, people we know

7
00:00:36,554 --> 00:00:36,994
Speaker 1: on vacation.

8
00:00:37,314 --> 00:00:39,234
Speaker 2: Yes is the name of the movie and the book

9
00:00:39,273 --> 00:00:41,473
Speaker 2: by Emily Henry on which it is based.

10
00:00:41,513 --> 00:00:44,193
Speaker 1: So just before we jump in, spoilers for.

11
00:00:44,233 --> 00:00:46,793
Speaker 2: Both the movie and the book because we're going to

12
00:00:46,793 --> 00:00:49,034
Speaker 2: be diving into both. So if you're new to brutally

13
00:00:49,074 --> 00:00:52,154
Speaker 2: honest reviews, these are the episodes where we deep dive

14
00:00:52,193 --> 00:00:54,874
Speaker 2: into whatever new movie or TV show has come out

15
00:00:55,034 --> 00:00:57,554
Speaker 2: that is buzzy. Everyone's talking about it, for better or

16
00:00:57,594 --> 00:01:00,273
Speaker 2: for worse, for worse maybe in your case, and we

17
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:01,034
Speaker 2: just get into.

18
00:01:00,914 --> 00:01:03,073
Speaker 1: All the little nitty gritty. Yeah, here we go.

19
00:01:03,194 --> 00:01:05,754
Speaker 2: People we meet on vacation based, as I said, on

20
00:01:05,834 --> 00:01:08,074
Speaker 2: the novel of the same name by Emily Henry.

21
00:01:08,194 --> 00:01:11,113
Speaker 1: Em So you're a big em hen fan, I am.

22
00:01:11,514 --> 00:01:15,554
Speaker 1: I love Emily Henry books. I've read three books of hers.

23
00:01:15,634 --> 00:01:16,953
Speaker 1: I haven't read this one.

24
00:01:17,194 --> 00:01:18,074
Speaker 3: Oh interesting.

25
00:01:18,154 --> 00:01:20,194
Speaker 2: No, No, this is a great dynamic that we should

26
00:01:20,234 --> 00:01:21,954
Speaker 2: do for every show, but we're not always that organized.

27
00:01:22,234 --> 00:01:24,234
Speaker 2: Is that you haven't read the book but I have. Yeah,

28
00:01:24,274 --> 00:01:25,714
Speaker 2: so we can come to it with two different sizes.

29
00:01:25,714 --> 00:01:27,034
Speaker 2: Which m Hen books have you read.

30
00:01:27,154 --> 00:01:32,314
Speaker 1: I've read Funny Story, I've read everyone says fun It's

31
00:01:32,354 --> 00:01:36,114
Speaker 1: so good, it's really good. I've read Happy Place. I've

32
00:01:36,154 --> 00:01:39,674
Speaker 1: read her latest one, Great, Big Beautiful Life, which is

33
00:01:39,674 --> 00:01:43,434
Speaker 1: also really really good. But the thing is with em

34
00:01:43,554 --> 00:01:46,753
Speaker 1: hen books, which I didn't realize until I watched People

35
00:01:46,794 --> 00:01:49,474
Speaker 1: we Meet on Vacation, I thought I'd really enjoyed the

36
00:01:49,554 --> 00:01:53,314
Speaker 1: screen adaptation because what I've noticed from reading MN is

37
00:01:53,314 --> 00:01:57,394
Speaker 1: that it's different stories, like different stakes that all rom

38
00:01:57,434 --> 00:02:01,394
Speaker 1: com So it has to follow the rom com tradition,

39
00:02:01,434 --> 00:02:02,954
Speaker 1: which is it has to have a happy ending, like

40
00:02:02,994 --> 00:02:04,674
Speaker 1: all her books have to have a happy ending, otherwise

41
00:02:04,674 --> 00:02:08,154
Speaker 1: you're just basically like baiting people to write. And then

42
00:02:08,474 --> 00:02:10,994
Speaker 1: all of her characters are very like different versions of

43
00:02:11,034 --> 00:02:15,674
Speaker 1: the same person, right, Yeah, Like it's always like the ditsy, fun, happy,

44
00:02:15,714 --> 00:02:18,714
Speaker 1: go lucky girl with like the dark, brooding guy who

45
00:02:18,714 --> 00:02:20,594
Speaker 1: finds a really annoying in the beginning, but then he

46
00:02:20,714 --> 00:02:23,874
Speaker 1: respects her. Yeah, I love that formula. I know she is.

47
00:02:24,114 --> 00:02:27,194
Speaker 2: Emily Henry is one of the romance authors of the

48
00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:30,194
Speaker 2: moment of the last decade, so many books that people

49
00:02:30,194 --> 00:02:33,474
Speaker 2: are absolutely obsessed with that she's the best seller across.

50
00:02:33,114 --> 00:02:36,793
Speaker 1: Her books for a B Tree she even called be Tree.

51
00:02:37,034 --> 00:02:39,194
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't read that one. So I've read Happy Place,

52
00:02:39,634 --> 00:02:41,994
Speaker 2: and I've read People with Me on Vacation, and I'm

53
00:02:41,994 --> 00:02:43,234
Speaker 2: in the middle of Book Lovers.

54
00:02:43,234 --> 00:02:44,754
Speaker 1: So that's why I think that's next on my last

55
00:02:44,754 --> 00:02:46,874
Speaker 1: book Lovers. Yes, everyone talks about that. It's so good

56
00:02:46,914 --> 00:02:47,234
Speaker 1: so far.

57
00:02:47,354 --> 00:02:50,114
Speaker 2: So this is the first adaptation of an Emily Henry work,

58
00:02:50,394 --> 00:02:53,234
Speaker 2: and so that's why the anticipation for this.

59
00:02:53,194 --> 00:02:55,674
Speaker 1: Movie was at an all time high, because all of

60
00:02:55,674 --> 00:02:57,114
Speaker 1: her books are going to be adapted.

61
00:02:57,314 --> 00:02:57,914
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

62
00:02:57,954 --> 00:03:01,114
Speaker 2: Well, that's a gold mine for streamers and studios because

63
00:03:01,114 --> 00:03:03,953
Speaker 2: they have this huge, huge fan base. But also there,

64
00:03:04,074 --> 00:03:06,554
Speaker 2: as you're saying, like, because it's a romcom, very palatable

65
00:03:06,594 --> 00:03:08,354
Speaker 2: to like people horr on Netflix looking for a.

66
00:03:08,274 --> 00:03:10,634
Speaker 1: Friday night watch. Yeah, the Booktop Girls.

67
00:03:10,754 --> 00:03:14,794
Speaker 2: They were just in a tiars about this release. So

68
00:03:14,994 --> 00:03:17,114
Speaker 2: if you haven't watched it, first of all, it's bad.

69
00:03:17,154 --> 00:03:19,794
Speaker 2: Joy still listen to this, but you know, watch it.

70
00:03:20,394 --> 00:03:22,194
Speaker 2: Maybe you're like, that's a romcom is not for me,

71
00:03:22,274 --> 00:03:23,793
Speaker 2: But I want to listen to you guys dissect it

72
00:03:23,794 --> 00:03:25,234
Speaker 2: in a funny way, and that's what you're about. That's

73
00:03:25,274 --> 00:03:27,314
Speaker 2: what you're about to hear, So actually do stick around.

74
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:31,154
Speaker 2: So it stars Emily Beta as Poppy and Tom Blythe

75
00:03:31,154 --> 00:03:34,154
Speaker 2: as Alex. There are main people, so Emily Beta.

76
00:03:34,074 --> 00:03:36,354
Speaker 1: Two very attractive young people.

77
00:03:36,194 --> 00:03:38,274
Speaker 2: So attractive. So first of all, massive tick form me.

78
00:03:38,314 --> 00:03:39,434
Speaker 2: I love watching hot people.

79
00:03:39,994 --> 00:03:40,714
Speaker 1: Were dark hair.

80
00:03:41,234 --> 00:03:43,074
Speaker 3: Okay, so here's the thing.

81
00:03:43,194 --> 00:03:45,754
Speaker 2: The casting wasn't bad, and there was so much anticipation

82
00:03:45,874 --> 00:03:48,074
Speaker 2: for the casting of because it's all about as you're

83
00:03:48,074 --> 00:03:51,314
Speaker 2: saying about these characters, and so we know that Emily

84
00:03:51,434 --> 00:03:54,714
Speaker 2: Henry was really happy with them, she said previously in interviews.

85
00:03:54,714 --> 00:03:57,634
Speaker 2: From the moment she saw their screen test, she knew

86
00:03:57,674 --> 00:03:59,874
Speaker 2: that they should be Alex and Poppy. She said, their

87
00:03:59,914 --> 00:04:02,434
Speaker 2: chemistry was off the charts. And you know how like

88
00:04:02,474 --> 00:04:04,954
Speaker 2: writers and readers picture the characters in their head and

89
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:08,474
Speaker 2: everyone has their picture. Even Emily Henry said that now

90
00:04:08,514 --> 00:04:11,354
Speaker 2: watching the movie, she now pictures the Poppy and Alenx

91
00:04:11,434 --> 00:04:12,994
Speaker 2: she had in her head when she wrote the book

92
00:04:12,994 --> 00:04:13,594
Speaker 2: as the actors.

93
00:04:13,874 --> 00:04:15,994
Speaker 1: That's when you know some well, so that's a.

94
00:04:15,994 --> 00:04:18,674
Speaker 2: Nice little I guess nod to them. So, yes, Emily

95
00:04:18,674 --> 00:04:21,113
Speaker 2: Beta is Poppy. So Poppy is very much the classic

96
00:04:21,354 --> 00:04:24,753
Speaker 2: manic pixie dream girl, that old school trope that I

97
00:04:24,794 --> 00:04:27,273
Speaker 2: do hate in movies made by men. It's that old

98
00:04:27,274 --> 00:04:30,474
Speaker 2: school trope of like a magical woman comes along and

99
00:04:30,553 --> 00:04:33,433
Speaker 2: like fixes a man's life through like her whimsy and

100
00:04:33,513 --> 00:04:35,993
Speaker 2: adventurous sense. But because we get to know Poppy as

101
00:04:36,034 --> 00:04:38,234
Speaker 2: a character, she doesn't fall into that trope as much.

102
00:04:38,393 --> 00:04:41,034
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I want to be honest, yeah and

103
00:04:41,154 --> 00:04:44,874
Speaker 1: say that the first meeting between Poppy and Alex, if

104
00:04:44,914 --> 00:04:47,354
Speaker 1: I didn't have to watch this movie for work, I

105
00:04:47,354 --> 00:04:49,993
Speaker 1: would have turned it off after the first scene. Really yeah,

106
00:04:50,113 --> 00:04:51,194
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god.

107
00:04:51,234 --> 00:04:53,833
Speaker 3: So many people have said that. Yes, so Emily Beta.

108
00:04:54,073 --> 00:04:55,794
Speaker 3: I actually thought she did a lot with this character.

109
00:04:55,834 --> 00:04:58,354
Speaker 2: And it's hard because I can see how Poppy would

110
00:04:58,354 --> 00:05:00,953
Speaker 2: come across as an unlikable character because she's so like

111
00:05:01,313 --> 00:05:04,873
Speaker 2: that kind of stereotype girl from these kind of movies.

112
00:05:05,274 --> 00:05:07,873
Speaker 2: So again, Emily Beta, great act dress. I guess a

113
00:05:07,873 --> 00:05:09,954
Speaker 2: lot of people would know her from My Lady Jane

114
00:05:09,993 --> 00:05:12,594
Speaker 2: that's on Amazon Prime. If anyone hasn't watched that goal

115
00:05:12,594 --> 00:05:14,753
Speaker 2: and watch and she's so good in it. And then

116
00:05:14,794 --> 00:05:16,833
Speaker 2: of course we know tom blythe from He's had a

117
00:05:16,834 --> 00:05:18,753
Speaker 2: lot of big roles, but I think everyone would know

118
00:05:18,834 --> 00:05:22,033
Speaker 2: him as Cornelia Snow from The Hunger Games The Ballad

119
00:05:22,034 --> 00:05:23,234
Speaker 2: of Songbirds and Snakes.

120
00:05:23,354 --> 00:05:25,073
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's quite scary in that.

121
00:05:25,313 --> 00:05:27,833
Speaker 2: Well here's the thing who When he was cast, I

122
00:05:27,873 --> 00:05:30,234
Speaker 2: was like, oh, really, the villain. I was like that guy.

123
00:05:30,794 --> 00:05:33,073
Speaker 3: And then in the movie I kind of did buy

124
00:05:33,154 --> 00:05:34,394
Speaker 3: him as Alex.

125
00:05:34,154 --> 00:05:36,233
Speaker 1: A lot of the time because Alex, it's the hair.

126
00:05:36,513 --> 00:05:39,073
Speaker 1: Oh really, you think because she's like bleach blonde in

127
00:05:39,154 --> 00:05:42,034
Speaker 1: Hunger Games, which is no offense to bleach bond people.

128
00:05:42,234 --> 00:05:44,674
Speaker 1: He just like you automatically knew he was a bad person.

129
00:05:45,034 --> 00:05:46,593
Speaker 2: Like you're like, that's a villain if I've ever seen

130
00:05:47,354 --> 00:05:49,633
Speaker 2: bleach bond people but you're all evil, But I'm like,

131
00:05:49,633 --> 00:05:51,354
Speaker 2: that's a villain. I'm sorry showing me a villain who's

132
00:05:51,354 --> 00:05:54,594
Speaker 2: not bleachbonde hair or you couldn't pull it off.

133
00:05:56,113 --> 00:05:57,953
Speaker 3: Right, It's like it's like a red flag, like that's

134
00:05:57,993 --> 00:05:58,753
Speaker 3: the villain.

135
00:05:58,513 --> 00:06:01,674
Speaker 1: Bag And then he died, understand I was like, oh, immediate,

136
00:06:01,753 --> 00:06:04,633
Speaker 1: cute boy, Well you don't think he's cute.

137
00:06:05,154 --> 00:06:06,594
Speaker 3: I do think he's cute.

138
00:06:06,594 --> 00:06:07,954
Speaker 1: Me just shame his looks here.

139
00:06:08,313 --> 00:06:09,354
Speaker 3: No, No, I do think it's cute.

140
00:06:09,354 --> 00:06:11,513
Speaker 2: I just I struggled to buy him as Alex throughout

141
00:06:11,553 --> 00:06:13,514
Speaker 2: the movie a little bit, just because obviously Alex is

142
00:06:13,553 --> 00:06:14,993
Speaker 2: meant to be really dark and brooding.

143
00:06:15,274 --> 00:06:17,953
Speaker 1: But also this is the issue when you read the book.

144
00:06:18,154 --> 00:06:20,154
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I didn't have that.

145
00:06:20,234 --> 00:06:21,753
Speaker 2: The book, I gotta say right at the front before

146
00:06:21,753 --> 00:06:26,274
Speaker 2: we get into the book destroyed this movie, destroyed it.

147
00:06:26,513 --> 00:06:28,634
Speaker 2: I probably would have lacked it if not for that.

148
00:06:28,914 --> 00:06:31,033
Speaker 2: But also, watching Tom Blyth through this movie, I'm like,

149
00:06:31,034 --> 00:06:33,433
Speaker 2: it's so unfortunate for him. He has resting evil face.

150
00:06:34,034 --> 00:06:36,914
Speaker 2: Whenever he's not emoting a particular scene. He's just meant

151
00:06:36,914 --> 00:06:39,113
Speaker 2: to be kind of still, and a lot of people

152
00:06:39,274 --> 00:06:41,713
Speaker 2: would be like, look like, obviously some people have resting

153
00:06:41,753 --> 00:06:45,273
Speaker 2: board face and people have resting bitch face. Resting evil

154
00:06:45,274 --> 00:06:47,633
Speaker 2: face in a rom com is a hard thing to overcome.

155
00:06:48,274 --> 00:06:49,794
Speaker 2: So I'll just say that. So, yes, we have their

156
00:06:49,834 --> 00:06:51,833
Speaker 2: meet here to the car you didn't love I.

157
00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:54,234
Speaker 1: Know meet It was fine, it's the more the car

158
00:06:54,354 --> 00:06:59,273
Speaker 1: road trip to Ohio. Yeah, that I was like, so

159
00:06:59,433 --> 00:07:03,193
Speaker 1: pick me annoying, li sa, I know that's the hard thing.

160
00:07:03,433 --> 00:07:05,874
Speaker 1: A car with the guy you've just met, and now

161
00:07:05,873 --> 00:07:09,953
Speaker 1: you're purposely annoyed him. You're singing out loud, you're pressing

162
00:07:09,994 --> 00:07:14,593
Speaker 1: weird buttons, you're like to do, You're like liking everything,

163
00:07:15,314 --> 00:07:18,393
Speaker 1: he's hating everything. You lock the keys in the car.

164
00:07:18,874 --> 00:07:22,114
Speaker 1: You see like it's some old, like funky wishing well,

165
00:07:22,594 --> 00:07:24,874
Speaker 1: and you walk up to it to make a wish.

166
00:07:24,914 --> 00:07:26,554
Speaker 3: Who amongst us hasn't okay.

167
00:07:26,434 --> 00:07:30,554
Speaker 1: Okay, but that wishing well, if you looked closely, it

168
00:07:30,594 --> 00:07:33,554
Speaker 1: was actually being used because it had that like grated

169
00:07:33,594 --> 00:07:34,233
Speaker 1: thing on top.

170
00:07:34,634 --> 00:07:35,793
Speaker 3: Is that what means a well.

171
00:07:35,714 --> 00:07:36,713
Speaker 1: Is being used? Well?

172
00:07:36,754 --> 00:07:41,354
Speaker 2: Yeah, so would you possibly know that because they put.

173
00:07:39,953 --> 00:07:43,314
Speaker 1: On top so nothing falls in, and she goes and

174
00:07:43,314 --> 00:07:46,833
Speaker 1: puts a coin in it? Are you telling that the

175
00:07:46,874 --> 00:07:48,274
Speaker 1: towns people have no water?

176
00:07:48,554 --> 00:07:50,234
Speaker 2: Are you telling me that she poisoned a town for

177
00:07:50,953 --> 00:07:53,473
Speaker 2: poison in the town because money is like the dirtiest

178
00:07:53,474 --> 00:07:53,914
Speaker 2: thing in the world.

179
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:58,194
Speaker 1: I hope she got that fucking wish. Okay, Yeah, I

180
00:07:58,314 --> 00:07:59,034
Speaker 1: not thought that.

181
00:07:59,634 --> 00:08:02,554
Speaker 3: Okay, I have the get go. I was mad.

182
00:08:02,634 --> 00:08:04,153
Speaker 2: You're like, well, that woman was just killed. A bunch

183
00:08:04,194 --> 00:08:05,994
Speaker 2: of people can't even see her.

184
00:08:05,953 --> 00:08:08,034
Speaker 1: Like wishing wells. If it so an actual wishing well,

185
00:08:08,114 --> 00:08:10,434
Speaker 1: you turn around and you just throw it in because

186
00:08:10,474 --> 00:08:13,154
Speaker 1: it's open. She like had to move the grating the

187
00:08:13,154 --> 00:08:14,954
Speaker 1: stuff and like push it through a little hole.

188
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:15,914
Speaker 3: Also a red flag.

189
00:08:15,953 --> 00:08:17,154
Speaker 2: I guess if you look into a well and there's

190
00:08:17,194 --> 00:08:19,354
Speaker 2: no other coins in there, not being used as a

191
00:08:19,354 --> 00:08:20,434
Speaker 2: functioning wishing.

192
00:08:20,114 --> 00:08:22,234
Speaker 1: Well, lee wells alone, I say, yeah.

193
00:08:22,034 --> 00:08:23,514
Speaker 3: And that's the story of this movie that no one's

194
00:08:23,554 --> 00:08:25,674
Speaker 3: talking about. Well safety know it.

195
00:08:25,914 --> 00:08:28,154
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this in any other rooms like that

196
00:08:28,234 --> 00:08:28,713
Speaker 1: right now.

197
00:08:28,634 --> 00:08:33,154
Speaker 2: No one everyone's scared to talk about. I was gonna

198
00:08:33,154 --> 00:08:34,874
Speaker 2: say I didn't like the intro because I hadn't picked

199
00:08:34,953 --> 00:08:38,794
Speaker 2: up on the well drama, just because again, I know

200
00:08:39,074 --> 00:08:40,994
Speaker 2: you have to hold the book and the movie to

201
00:08:41,314 --> 00:08:44,634
Speaker 2: different standards. Yeah, but my issue with yeah, they're set

202
00:08:44,674 --> 00:08:46,274
Speaker 2: up for their characters and they're meet cute is that

203
00:08:46,434 --> 00:08:48,834
Speaker 2: in the first few scenes neither of them come.

204
00:08:48,714 --> 00:08:50,314
Speaker 3: Across like overly likable.

205
00:08:50,514 --> 00:08:52,834
Speaker 2: And again, Poppy is like written in the movie at

206
00:08:52,874 --> 00:08:55,514
Speaker 2: the beginning as like such a caricature, Like you're saying,

207
00:08:55,994 --> 00:08:57,674
Speaker 2: it's really hard to kind of get on her side

208
00:08:57,714 --> 00:09:00,154
Speaker 2: when she's being like it's almost like it's like it's

209
00:09:00,194 --> 00:09:02,554
Speaker 2: a TikTok skit of like a crazy woman and like

210
00:09:02,554 --> 00:09:02,794
Speaker 2: a thing.

211
00:09:03,554 --> 00:09:05,914
Speaker 1: No, you're so right, it's like a TikTok skit, which,

212
00:09:06,034 --> 00:09:08,354
Speaker 1: like Poppy and a wasn't surprising to me because that's

213
00:09:08,354 --> 00:09:11,554
Speaker 1: how all of em Hen's women characters are written. But

214
00:09:11,594 --> 00:09:14,354
Speaker 1: it's so different reading about them. Well, I think that's

215
00:09:14,434 --> 00:09:15,194
Speaker 1: just watching it.

216
00:09:15,394 --> 00:09:17,114
Speaker 2: This is the hard thing with bringing a book to

217
00:09:17,194 --> 00:09:20,834
Speaker 2: screen is that in the book we have Poppies internal thoughts.

218
00:09:22,194 --> 00:09:24,714
Speaker 2: We can see her. If she's being chaotic, like what's

219
00:09:24,714 --> 00:09:27,114
Speaker 2: the story behind it? If she's acting really brave, you

220
00:09:27,114 --> 00:09:29,354
Speaker 2: can see she's hurt behind the scenes. If she's being crazy,

221
00:09:29,394 --> 00:09:31,034
Speaker 2: you can tell that she's filled with this joy. So

222
00:09:31,114 --> 00:09:33,034
Speaker 2: she comes across. She probably is my I don't know.

223
00:09:33,034 --> 00:09:34,114
Speaker 2: I've only read a few of her books.

224
00:09:34,154 --> 00:09:37,674
Speaker 3: My favorite Emily Henry heroine because I just love being

225
00:09:37,674 --> 00:09:39,274
Speaker 3: in her head and I felt I found her really

226
00:09:39,394 --> 00:09:41,434
Speaker 3: complicated and like also just really fun.

227
00:09:41,634 --> 00:09:43,234
Speaker 1: Yeah, something that Harriet from the Good.

228
00:09:43,114 --> 00:09:45,794
Speaker 3: Place could learn some stuff from Happy Place, could learn

229
00:09:45,834 --> 00:09:47,154
Speaker 3: some stuff about im, like girl.

230
00:09:47,034 --> 00:09:49,154
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Harriet from Happy Place, Oh my god.

231
00:09:49,834 --> 00:09:51,354
Speaker 2: I don't know what actually is going to play that role,

232
00:09:51,354 --> 00:09:55,634
Speaker 2: but good luck, good luck, good luck being likable on screen,

233
00:09:55,914 --> 00:09:58,514
Speaker 2: because I could barely like you in the book anyway.

234
00:10:01,314 --> 00:10:03,594
Speaker 2: I just also thinking, yesterday you said believe men, and

235
00:10:03,634 --> 00:10:04,794
Speaker 2: today we're really trashing women.

236
00:10:04,914 --> 00:10:06,914
Speaker 3: So we're not coming.

237
00:10:07,114 --> 00:10:08,754
Speaker 1: I'm not having a good way love all women.

238
00:10:08,834 --> 00:10:10,714
Speaker 2: Here's the thing I think with bringing Cross a story

239
00:10:10,714 --> 00:10:12,914
Speaker 2: from a book to a movie is that I know

240
00:10:12,994 --> 00:10:16,594
Speaker 2: you can't have the entire book in the movie. Yeah,

241
00:10:16,634 --> 00:10:18,354
Speaker 2: that would be a three hour movie, and that's crazy,

242
00:10:18,394 --> 00:10:20,314
Speaker 2: So you have to make cuts. I don't know if

243
00:10:20,314 --> 00:10:22,834
Speaker 2: cutting how they met, the real way they met and

244
00:10:22,834 --> 00:10:24,794
Speaker 2: their meet cute was the way to go, because it

245
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:27,154
Speaker 2: is such a fundamental part of the story. Because in

246
00:10:27,194 --> 00:10:29,514
Speaker 2: the book, they meet on the first day of college

247
00:10:30,074 --> 00:10:31,914
Speaker 2: and they have like a little back and forth and

248
00:10:31,994 --> 00:10:34,274
Speaker 2: realize they're from the same town, and then they don't

249
00:10:34,274 --> 00:10:36,034
Speaker 2: speak again for the rest of the year. And so

250
00:10:36,154 --> 00:10:38,634
Speaker 2: when she turns up to get the ride home, she's like, Oh,

251
00:10:38,674 --> 00:10:40,794
Speaker 2: it's cranky guy from the party that I met here

252
00:10:40,834 --> 00:10:43,394
Speaker 2: on my first day. And then you kind of get

253
00:10:43,394 --> 00:10:45,914
Speaker 2: more into their conversation on the way there of what

254
00:10:45,954 --> 00:10:47,714
Speaker 2: they like, what they don't like. I don't think she

255
00:10:47,754 --> 00:10:50,554
Speaker 2: spills a burrito unless I blocked that out the burrito.

256
00:10:51,554 --> 00:10:53,514
Speaker 2: It's more like they have a real conversation and you

257
00:10:53,634 --> 00:10:55,914
Speaker 2: learn so much about and it's such an interesting, like

258
00:10:56,314 --> 00:10:59,194
Speaker 2: writing technique to learn so much because we as the

259
00:10:59,234 --> 00:11:01,234
Speaker 2: reader are learning all this stuff about them as they're

260
00:11:01,314 --> 00:11:04,314
Speaker 2: learning it about themselves and each other, and it really

261
00:11:04,314 --> 00:11:06,274
Speaker 2: sets the scene for them becoming friends.

262
00:11:06,594 --> 00:11:08,514
Speaker 1: And they don't stop it. Well, you'll be happy to

263
00:11:08,594 --> 00:11:09,474
Speaker 1: know they.

264
00:11:09,314 --> 00:11:13,794
Speaker 2: Don't get Yeah, they don't let the keys in the car,

265
00:11:14,074 --> 00:11:16,674
Speaker 2: and they don't spend the night, which.

266
00:11:16,474 --> 00:11:18,314
Speaker 1: I thought that's a lot of because obviously the.

267
00:11:18,194 --> 00:11:19,874
Speaker 2: Car trope is a bit of an homage to the

268
00:11:19,914 --> 00:11:22,874
Speaker 2: beginning of When Harry met Sally, which is the classic

269
00:11:23,434 --> 00:11:26,314
Speaker 2: friends to lover's story, like the original friends love story,

270
00:11:26,314 --> 00:11:27,954
Speaker 2: and this is a friends to love his story. So

271
00:11:28,034 --> 00:11:30,674
Speaker 2: I kind of liked the car ride from college to

272
00:11:30,754 --> 00:11:33,314
Speaker 2: a city as being like a beautiful kind of like

273
00:11:33,634 --> 00:11:36,194
Speaker 2: nod to that works in the book. But then in

274
00:11:36,234 --> 00:11:38,074
Speaker 2: the book it just, yeah, they don't have that other

275
00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:39,634
Speaker 2: It's like they tried to put too many rom com

276
00:11:39,714 --> 00:11:42,594
Speaker 2: tropes in, because getting stuck somewhere over a night classic

277
00:11:44,714 --> 00:11:47,114
Speaker 2: and having to share the same bed another classic rom

278
00:11:47,154 --> 00:11:49,874
Speaker 2: com trope, when used correctly, is done towards the end

279
00:11:49,914 --> 00:11:52,194
Speaker 2: of the book when two lovers have to sleep together,

280
00:11:52,274 --> 00:11:53,914
Speaker 2: not on the first night where it's just weird, and

281
00:11:53,914 --> 00:11:55,434
Speaker 2: then he sleeps on the floor anyway.

282
00:11:55,194 --> 00:11:57,394
Speaker 1: And then she was like nagging him about his girlfriend.

283
00:11:57,794 --> 00:11:59,953
Speaker 1: I'm like, you've just met this man, and she's like,

284
00:11:59,994 --> 00:12:01,954
Speaker 1: tell me about your girlfriend. And he's like, oh, like

285
00:12:02,074 --> 00:12:04,874
Speaker 1: we grew up together, families love each other. Yeah, and

286
00:12:04,914 --> 00:12:06,994
Speaker 1: she's like, oh, great girl to bring home to mom.

287
00:12:07,434 --> 00:12:08,394
Speaker 1: But his mom died.

288
00:12:08,634 --> 00:12:10,194
Speaker 3: Well obviously she didn't know that.

289
00:12:10,314 --> 00:12:11,874
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like, why would you even say that.

290
00:12:11,954 --> 00:12:14,234
Speaker 3: Again, that's why they had that lost him and then

291
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:15,554
Speaker 3: you applied and you're like, wait now.

292
00:12:15,474 --> 00:12:17,474
Speaker 2: Well again, that's why they had that lovely conversation in

293
00:12:17,474 --> 00:12:19,194
Speaker 2: the car where she learns all about because in the

294
00:12:19,194 --> 00:12:21,914
Speaker 2: book he's got quite a few brothers and the story

295
00:12:21,914 --> 00:12:23,794
Speaker 2: of his mother dying and everything, so that's like a

296
00:12:23,834 --> 00:12:26,114
Speaker 2: really big plot point. And then she's got two brothers

297
00:12:26,354 --> 00:12:28,274
Speaker 2: and her family and stuff. And I guess, again, you

298
00:12:28,274 --> 00:12:29,674
Speaker 2: can just learn so much.

299
00:12:29,514 --> 00:12:32,394
Speaker 3: More from a book, So I don't have that. I know,

300
00:12:32,594 --> 00:12:35,634
Speaker 3: you were just flying blind and still.

301
00:12:35,394 --> 00:12:38,833
Speaker 1: Thinking about the well during that scene came down to people, you.

302
00:12:38,834 --> 00:12:40,714
Speaker 3: Do have to let that, know, let that go.

303
00:12:41,554 --> 00:12:43,714
Speaker 2: So then we have quite a few time jumps back

304
00:12:43,754 --> 00:12:46,154
Speaker 2: and forth where it's so beautiful that we kind of

305
00:12:46,234 --> 00:12:49,154
Speaker 2: do learn that Alex and Poppy have, against all odds

306
00:12:49,314 --> 00:12:51,314
Speaker 2: and against the fact they have no chemistry at the start,

307
00:12:51,394 --> 00:12:52,394
Speaker 2: have become good friends.

308
00:12:52,594 --> 00:12:56,233
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think of Emily and Tom's chemistry

309
00:12:56,354 --> 00:12:56,914
Speaker 1: on screen?

310
00:12:57,034 --> 00:12:57,194
Speaker 3: Oh?

311
00:12:57,954 --> 00:13:01,154
Speaker 1: Suck, I don't buy It's such a loaded question. I

312
00:13:01,234 --> 00:13:02,514
Speaker 1: just don't buy it.

313
00:13:02,714 --> 00:13:04,674
Speaker 2: I don't think they had that much on screen chemistry.

314
00:13:04,714 --> 00:13:05,874
Speaker 2: But you know why it hurts me to say that,

315
00:13:05,914 --> 00:13:08,354
Speaker 2: because they have so much chemistry off screen them on

316
00:13:08,394 --> 00:13:11,034
Speaker 2: their press tour. Give me six hours of that. They're

317
00:13:11,274 --> 00:13:13,594
Speaker 2: so cute together. Yeah, they bounce off each other.

318
00:13:13,914 --> 00:13:16,114
Speaker 1: I think. No, I don't think he had amazing chemistry

319
00:13:16,114 --> 00:13:19,354
Speaker 1: with like Rachel Zegler in in Hunger Games, like that

320
00:13:19,514 --> 00:13:23,194
Speaker 1: was not even exactly and so I knew he could

321
00:13:23,194 --> 00:13:25,874
Speaker 1: do it. And I've seen her have chemistry with her

322
00:13:25,914 --> 00:13:28,274
Speaker 1: on screen lovers. Yeah, So I'm like, it just felt

323
00:13:28,314 --> 00:13:30,314
Speaker 1: like it just didn't work in the scenario.

324
00:13:30,474 --> 00:13:32,234
Speaker 2: I just think I don't know if that was them.

325
00:13:32,394 --> 00:13:34,354
Speaker 2: I just think maybe the way it was written and

326
00:13:34,394 --> 00:13:37,394
Speaker 2: the opportunities they had to showcase it didn't come across

327
00:13:37,434 --> 00:13:38,034
Speaker 2: as much.

328
00:13:38,154 --> 00:13:41,194
Speaker 1: I also feel like with the respective works they've done

329
00:13:41,234 --> 00:13:44,274
Speaker 1: as individuals, like they started off in like roles that

330
00:13:44,434 --> 00:13:47,554
Speaker 1: like have were very deep, like very deep roles, and

331
00:13:47,594 --> 00:13:50,034
Speaker 1: it's almost like doing the opposite of what other people do,

332
00:13:50,074 --> 00:13:53,154
Speaker 1: where they go from deep to light. And I think

333
00:13:53,194 --> 00:13:55,954
Speaker 1: maybe that was like the thing that was a pain

334
00:13:55,994 --> 00:13:58,794
Speaker 1: point for them because I both brilliant actors, like I

335
00:13:58,834 --> 00:14:00,914
Speaker 1: found it annoying that I wasn't getting on board with.

336
00:14:00,874 --> 00:14:04,154
Speaker 2: It because all I wanted from this movie was chemistry, because,

337
00:14:04,154 --> 00:14:06,274
Speaker 2: as you said before, with an Emily Henry book, or

338
00:14:06,354 --> 00:14:09,954
Speaker 2: indeed any rom com, whether it's a TV show, a movie,

339
00:14:10,034 --> 00:14:11,834
Speaker 2: or a book, we all go into it with one

340
00:14:11,834 --> 00:14:14,114
Speaker 2: piece of information. These people are getting together. Yeah, so

341
00:14:14,234 --> 00:14:16,874
Speaker 2: already stakes are gone, we know the ending. So then

342
00:14:16,914 --> 00:14:19,074
Speaker 2: the only thing you care about is do I believe

343
00:14:19,074 --> 00:14:21,474
Speaker 2: these people are in love? And am I going to

344
00:14:21,634 --> 00:14:25,954
Speaker 2: enjoy watching it happen? And I just don't know if

345
00:14:25,994 --> 00:14:26,794
Speaker 2: they were in love?

346
00:14:27,154 --> 00:14:28,874
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was waiting the whole I'm not

347
00:14:28,914 --> 00:14:30,594
Speaker 1: even joking the whole movie. I was just waiting for

348
00:14:30,714 --> 00:14:31,914
Speaker 1: Alfie from Emily in Paris.

349
00:14:32,994 --> 00:14:34,754
Speaker 2: Okay, Look, I mean, look, they do have some moments

350
00:14:34,794 --> 00:14:36,194
Speaker 2: of chemistry. So as we'll get through.

351
00:14:36,194 --> 00:14:39,394
Speaker 1: So I do want to say, like, the visuals of

352
00:14:39,434 --> 00:14:40,954
Speaker 1: this movie are beautiful.

353
00:14:41,114 --> 00:14:42,914
Speaker 2: Well that's what I was happy about, because I do

354
00:14:42,954 --> 00:14:45,394
Speaker 2: hate people like, oh I love a trashy Netflix movie,

355
00:14:45,474 --> 00:14:47,034
Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm sorry, I cannot watch a

356
00:14:47,034 --> 00:14:48,874
Speaker 2: trashy movie that looks like it was filmed on a

357
00:14:48,954 --> 00:14:52,114
Speaker 2: sound stage with someone pulling a different backdrop on, like

358
00:14:52,154 --> 00:14:54,474
Speaker 2: a wire in the background. Yeah, like again, not that

359
00:14:54,474 --> 00:14:55,074
Speaker 2: you need great.

360
00:14:55,914 --> 00:14:58,314
Speaker 1: Difference, and I didn't. We haven't talked about this on

361
00:14:58,354 --> 00:15:01,594
Speaker 1: the pod because I think I was all. But what

362
00:15:01,754 --> 00:15:04,234
Speaker 1: I didn't really like about the last few seasons of

363
00:15:04,234 --> 00:15:06,234
Speaker 1: Stranger Things was that so many of the scenes were

364
00:15:06,274 --> 00:15:09,154
Speaker 1: so obviously on a st stage. Yeah, compared to season one,

365
00:15:09,194 --> 00:15:11,114
Speaker 1: when they got this massive budget and it was so

366
00:15:11,234 --> 00:15:14,514
Speaker 1: beautifully shot. I didn't realize until I watched Strange Things

367
00:15:14,554 --> 00:15:18,274
Speaker 1: like that actually really impacts my viewing experience. So watching

368
00:15:18,474 --> 00:15:21,234
Speaker 1: this movie and like seeing all the like sets in

369
00:15:21,274 --> 00:15:24,634
Speaker 1: the different countries and the colors and like the costumes,

370
00:15:25,114 --> 00:15:27,074
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was obsessed with that aspect. Oh

371
00:15:27,154 --> 00:15:27,434
Speaker 1: I love that.

372
00:15:27,514 --> 00:15:28,594
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that as well.

373
00:15:28,634 --> 00:15:31,794
Speaker 2: I thought it looked really lush and beautiful in a way,

374
00:15:31,874 --> 00:15:34,074
Speaker 2: knowing they were actually at these places.

375
00:15:33,674 --> 00:15:35,554
Speaker 3: And the campig Oh my god, I loved it.

376
00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:37,354
Speaker 2: And also just yeah, they're like the shots of New

377
00:15:37,434 --> 00:15:40,474
Speaker 2: York and Poppy's wardrobe and the filming in Tuscany, and

378
00:15:40,554 --> 00:15:43,314
Speaker 2: again that is what makes this such incredible because again,

379
00:15:43,314 --> 00:15:44,914
Speaker 2: if you're one of those people who hasn't watched it

380
00:15:44,914 --> 00:15:45,234
Speaker 2: and you're.

381
00:15:45,154 --> 00:15:47,474
Speaker 1: Here, please do watch it. Yeah, just watch it for

382
00:15:47,514 --> 00:15:47,954
Speaker 1: the sides.

383
00:15:48,074 --> 00:15:51,034
Speaker 2: It's kind of almost like this beautiful escapism is what

384
00:15:51,074 --> 00:15:53,754
Speaker 2: I'm looking for sometimes in a rom com is to

385
00:15:54,274 --> 00:15:56,194
Speaker 2: kind of live in this lush fantasy world.

386
00:15:56,274 --> 00:15:57,634
Speaker 1: And you do get that a little bit.

387
00:15:58,074 --> 00:16:00,434
Speaker 2: And so she because Poppy is such the quintessential rom

388
00:16:00,474 --> 00:16:02,954
Speaker 2: com girl, like she's a writer living in New York

389
00:16:03,234 --> 00:16:07,114
Speaker 2: with her own writers. I love out our job, even

390
00:16:07,194 --> 00:16:09,394
Speaker 2: now with all the slugs wanting to be a podcaster.

391
00:16:09,514 --> 00:16:11,514
Speaker 2: I do love how our job's are always like the

392
00:16:11,634 --> 00:16:13,914
Speaker 2: dream scenario and then we like stomped in here today,

393
00:16:13,994 --> 00:16:16,274
Speaker 2: be like we're so busy and time not that clam

394
00:16:16,834 --> 00:16:17,794
Speaker 2: it's not noon.

395
00:16:17,874 --> 00:16:19,714
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is, I mean sometimes it is. But even

396
00:16:19,794 --> 00:16:23,634
Speaker 1: like travel writers, I didn't see her spile a single piece, No,

397
00:16:23,754 --> 00:16:25,634
Speaker 1: I know, but I okay on that though.

398
00:16:25,754 --> 00:16:28,834
Speaker 2: I do hate when people pull that on these kind

399
00:16:28,874 --> 00:16:31,474
Speaker 2: of shows of like, why don't we see them sitting

400
00:16:31,514 --> 00:16:33,154
Speaker 2: at their chairs doing this? Why don't we see that?

401
00:16:33,274 --> 00:16:35,434
Speaker 2: It's because that's not good TV or film, but it's

402
00:16:35,474 --> 00:16:37,794
Speaker 2: good for me. You can't, like watch an episode of

403
00:16:37,794 --> 00:16:40,394
Speaker 2: the bowl type and watch an actual day in their lives.

404
00:16:40,434 --> 00:16:42,274
Speaker 2: People like, that's not how magazines run. I mean yeah,

405
00:16:42,274 --> 00:16:44,234
Speaker 2: because otherwise the camera will just be on Jaye for

406
00:16:44,314 --> 00:16:45,794
Speaker 2: five hours while she writes an article.

407
00:16:46,074 --> 00:16:48,794
Speaker 1: That's not good TV. Okay, but they the bowl types

408
00:16:48,834 --> 00:16:51,314
Speaker 1: are whole different story. That girl was given a week

409
00:16:51,394 --> 00:16:52,234
Speaker 1: to write one article.

410
00:16:53,194 --> 00:16:55,874
Speaker 2: Yeah that's unheard of now. But yeah, again, you're not

411
00:16:55,914 --> 00:16:58,194
Speaker 2: supposed to see Poppy at her office job. You're supposed

412
00:16:58,194 --> 00:16:59,434
Speaker 2: to see her going off and all these times.

413
00:16:59,434 --> 00:17:01,194
Speaker 1: I want to share her office job because my favorite

414
00:17:01,234 --> 00:17:03,394
Speaker 1: character in the whole movie was Jamila Jamil. Yeah. I

415
00:17:03,434 --> 00:17:04,634
Speaker 1: did love Jamila Jimil in this.

416
00:17:04,754 --> 00:17:06,674
Speaker 2: She's having such a good run because she also did

417
00:17:06,714 --> 00:17:09,354
Speaker 2: that NETFLI Christmas movie with all of the Hudson and

418
00:17:09,394 --> 00:17:10,833
Speaker 2: Alicia Silverstone and she's.

419
00:17:10,874 --> 00:17:13,354
Speaker 1: Great in that, and she was in She Hulk, Yes,

420
00:17:13,554 --> 00:17:16,634
Speaker 1: and she's great in that, and I loved her in

421
00:17:16,674 --> 00:17:16,954
Speaker 1: this too.

422
00:17:17,074 --> 00:17:19,194
Speaker 2: Would I want to spin off for her character because

423
00:17:19,194 --> 00:17:21,994
Speaker 2: I'm like, this woman is first of all glamorous and

424
00:17:22,074 --> 00:17:24,514
Speaker 2: amazing but also super interesting and I would just want

425
00:17:24,514 --> 00:17:25,594
Speaker 2: to go watch just spin off about her.

426
00:17:25,834 --> 00:17:28,474
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is a very very cool character. But no,

427
00:17:28,634 --> 00:17:30,234
Speaker 1: I think you're right about the whole writing thing. That

428
00:17:30,234 --> 00:17:33,914
Speaker 1: would be I guess boring for some for me to watch.

429
00:17:33,994 --> 00:17:36,754
Speaker 1: But it's like what I liked about like her role

430
00:17:36,914 --> 00:17:39,674
Speaker 1: was she made out to make her job like so

431
00:17:39,674 --> 00:17:42,314
Speaker 1: so important because she had to travel to all of

432
00:17:42,394 --> 00:17:45,794
Speaker 1: these places for work and like write about them and

433
00:17:45,874 --> 00:17:48,674
Speaker 1: like take photos of them. And then you also see

434
00:17:48,754 --> 00:17:51,834
Speaker 1: her kind of like change her mind into realizing that

435
00:17:51,914 --> 00:17:55,314
Speaker 1: her work has now become her lifestyle. And she was

436
00:17:55,394 --> 00:17:57,434
Speaker 1: like in this frame of mind throughout the whole movie

437
00:17:57,434 --> 00:17:59,114
Speaker 1: where she just assumed she was going to be doing

438
00:17:59,154 --> 00:18:01,273
Speaker 1: this for the rest of her life. And I think

439
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:05,834
Speaker 1: the sticking point was like she didn't really have a home. Yeah,

440
00:18:06,234 --> 00:18:08,354
Speaker 1: And I thought that was really really interesting because I

441
00:18:08,394 --> 00:18:10,514
Speaker 1: feel like when we do when we watch these kind

442
00:18:10,514 --> 00:18:14,034
Speaker 1: of rom coms with like journalists, because it's always a journalist.

443
00:18:13,714 --> 00:18:16,114
Speaker 2: I know, and they always want to throw their life away.

444
00:18:16,234 --> 00:18:19,834
Speaker 2: So if rom coms have glamorized journalism and media, but

445
00:18:19,954 --> 00:18:21,954
Speaker 2: they also do make you think it's an awful thing

446
00:18:22,034 --> 00:18:24,674
Speaker 2: that you have to escape. Just think Andy Anderson Halle's

447
00:18:24,674 --> 00:18:26,514
Speaker 2: a guy in ten Days walks away from her job.

448
00:18:26,514 --> 00:18:28,034
Speaker 2: I can't do this anymore. I just want to write

449
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:31,234
Speaker 2: what I want to write, leaves Andy Saxon Devil Wears Prada.

450
00:18:31,434 --> 00:18:33,474
Speaker 1: Publishing is not for me. It's the devil. I can't

451
00:18:33,554 --> 00:18:33,754
Speaker 1: do this.

452
00:18:33,954 --> 00:18:36,874
Speaker 2: Storing my phone in a fountain walk away. Jennifer Ghanna

453
00:18:37,114 --> 00:18:40,513
Speaker 2: in Suddenly thirty very much like yeah, Like I just

454
00:18:40,554 --> 00:18:42,634
Speaker 2: want to like be at home with Mark Ruffalo and

455
00:18:42,754 --> 00:18:43,914
Speaker 2: like live in the suburbs, and like.

456
00:18:44,034 --> 00:18:46,154
Speaker 1: Magnets, did you do that amazing shoot for the Yeah,

457
00:18:46,674 --> 00:18:49,074
Speaker 1: it wasn't amazing. It's not getting sued. That was embarrassing,

458
00:18:50,154 --> 00:18:50,314
Speaker 1: you know.

459
00:18:50,434 --> 00:18:53,194
Speaker 2: Like again, media evil, Like all these movies tell us

460
00:18:53,234 --> 00:18:56,234
Speaker 2: that the turning point for your whole life to fall

461
00:18:56,314 --> 00:18:58,634
Speaker 2: in love, find yourself, be happy is walking away from

462
00:18:58,674 --> 00:18:59,314
Speaker 2: your media job.

463
00:18:59,474 --> 00:19:00,994
Speaker 3: And I don't know what to take from that except

464
00:19:01,234 --> 00:19:01,714
Speaker 3: maybe we have.

465
00:19:01,794 --> 00:19:05,634
Speaker 1: To start out. So this is resignation Sorr.

466
00:19:05,714 --> 00:19:06,834
Speaker 3: Yeah to everyone, mum me asked.

467
00:19:07,114 --> 00:19:09,394
Speaker 1: So we can't be in a relationship until we believe.

468
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:10,394
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is our last.

469
00:19:11,874 --> 00:19:13,273
Speaker 2: I walk into it and throw my phone in a

470
00:19:13,314 --> 00:19:15,273
Speaker 2: fountain and then walk back in ten minutes later being like, no,

471
00:19:15,394 --> 00:19:16,154
Speaker 2: I need to get paid.

472
00:19:16,634 --> 00:19:18,554
Speaker 1: And then I think with the whole job thing, like,

473
00:19:18,674 --> 00:19:21,754
Speaker 1: it wasn't that big of a I don't know, like

474
00:19:21,834 --> 00:19:23,114
Speaker 1: it was a big deal, but it wasn't like a

475
00:19:23,194 --> 00:19:25,634
Speaker 1: pain point that it's always been historically.

476
00:19:25,954 --> 00:19:27,994
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, it wasn't the book a little bit.

477
00:19:28,034 --> 00:19:30,874
Speaker 2: But I think the poppy storyline in the movie as much.

478
00:19:30,914 --> 00:19:32,354
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try not keep saying in the book because

479
00:19:32,394 --> 00:19:33,793
Speaker 2: I know that's frustrating people who like, we haven't read

480
00:19:33,834 --> 00:19:34,434
Speaker 2: the book, but.

481
00:19:34,714 --> 00:19:38,394
Speaker 1: There would be so like majority of their viewerships. That's

482
00:19:38,394 --> 00:19:40,594
Speaker 1: why it became like number one in Australia straight up

483
00:19:40,634 --> 00:19:43,114
Speaker 1: because so many people were waiting for this because so

484
00:19:43,234 --> 00:19:45,354
Speaker 1: many people have read that book. Yeah exactly, So like

485
00:19:45,514 --> 00:19:48,594
Speaker 1: they had to make a movie knowing that like majority

486
00:19:48,594 --> 00:19:50,194
Speaker 1: of the viewerships and people who would.

487
00:19:50,114 --> 00:19:51,194
Speaker 3: Love this movie what it was.

488
00:19:51,394 --> 00:19:52,793
Speaker 1: Yeah, I already knew everything else.

489
00:19:52,834 --> 00:19:54,314
Speaker 2: But I do think it is a pain point for

490
00:19:54,354 --> 00:19:57,273
Speaker 2: her in the series because it's just everything's accelerated, so

491
00:19:57,434 --> 00:20:00,674
Speaker 2: it's her decision of it. It's accelerated to decide that

492
00:20:01,114 --> 00:20:02,914
Speaker 2: she wants to build a life for her hot health,

493
00:20:02,994 --> 00:20:04,954
Speaker 2: She wants to have a home. She wants holidays to

494
00:20:04,994 --> 00:20:07,513
Speaker 2: be like a break from a life that she loves,

495
00:20:07,914 --> 00:20:09,954
Speaker 2: not for holidays to be her whole life to return

496
00:20:10,034 --> 00:20:10,634
Speaker 2: to a life.

497
00:20:10,474 --> 00:20:13,474
Speaker 3: That she doesn't love. Which I don't know if I loved.

498
00:20:13,314 --> 00:20:15,313
Speaker 2: That messaging of like if you're single and work, then

499
00:20:15,354 --> 00:20:17,394
Speaker 2: you come home to like an empty apartment with no

500
00:20:17,514 --> 00:20:19,434
Speaker 2: food in the fridge. It was again that very classic

501
00:20:19,834 --> 00:20:22,714
Speaker 2: from Coom trope of like the girl's life is empty

502
00:20:22,754 --> 00:20:25,114
Speaker 2: and if you live alone, like you don't cook, you

503
00:20:25,194 --> 00:20:26,794
Speaker 2: don't eat, you don't have furniture.

504
00:20:27,274 --> 00:20:28,874
Speaker 1: And I just don't know what single women are living

505
00:20:28,954 --> 00:20:31,074
Speaker 1: like that because we both live alone. I don't know

506
00:20:31,074 --> 00:20:32,714
Speaker 1: what your fridge is like. It might actually thank you,

507
00:20:32,834 --> 00:20:38,034
Speaker 1: do you know? Okay? Okay, Poppy Nan. What I love

508
00:20:38,154 --> 00:20:41,314
Speaker 1: though the interest scene of her when you do see

509
00:20:41,394 --> 00:20:44,674
Speaker 1: her doing a solo holiday and she's like in a monologue,

510
00:20:44,714 --> 00:20:46,674
Speaker 1: is her actually typing the article about the holiday she's

511
00:20:46,714 --> 00:20:48,714
Speaker 1: just come back from. And she's like in this beautiful

512
00:20:48,754 --> 00:20:51,353
Speaker 1: resort and she's by herself and there's like no one

513
00:20:51,434 --> 00:20:53,154
Speaker 1: to talk to and no one to hang out with,

514
00:20:53,314 --> 00:20:54,994
Speaker 1: and everyone's kind of looking at her like why are

515
00:20:54,994 --> 00:20:57,154
Speaker 1: you alone and she just goes back to her room

516
00:20:57,234 --> 00:20:58,914
Speaker 1: and like stays there and has a shower. I'm like,

517
00:20:59,274 --> 00:21:01,554
Speaker 1: I feel like so many women who travel alone have

518
00:21:01,674 --> 00:21:05,513
Speaker 1: experienced that. Well, you become so filled with so much anxiety,

519
00:21:05,674 --> 00:21:08,513
Speaker 1: and you're so self conscious about being alone in a

520
00:21:08,714 --> 00:21:10,474
Speaker 1: part of the world that no one knows you, and

521
00:21:10,554 --> 00:21:12,914
Speaker 1: you're also thinking about like safety, and you're sitting there

522
00:21:12,914 --> 00:21:15,034
Speaker 1: and you're like everyone's watching me, everyone's judging me. Like

523
00:21:15,074 --> 00:21:17,674
Speaker 1: there's been so many times on holiday where I've just

524
00:21:17,714 --> 00:21:19,834
Speaker 1: stayed in my hotel room for one full day because

525
00:21:19,834 --> 00:21:22,273
Speaker 1: I've been so scared to just leave. Yeah, And I

526
00:21:22,354 --> 00:21:24,754
Speaker 1: thought her talking about that was just so true.

527
00:21:24,754 --> 00:21:26,353
Speaker 2: And no one wants to say that, because if you're

528
00:21:26,434 --> 00:21:29,154
Speaker 2: traveling solo, it's built up as especially as a woman,

529
00:21:29,194 --> 00:21:31,674
Speaker 2: it's built up as this big kind of like you're

530
00:21:31,714 --> 00:21:34,394
Speaker 2: so independent and you're so strong and you're so powerful,

531
00:21:34,674 --> 00:21:35,914
Speaker 2: and also in your head, you're like, I have to

532
00:21:35,994 --> 00:21:37,273
Speaker 2: make the most of this, and I have to be

533
00:21:37,354 --> 00:21:39,354
Speaker 2: adventurous and get out there. And again, we sell these

534
00:21:39,394 --> 00:21:41,234
Speaker 2: books and TV shows where women go on holidays by

535
00:21:41,274 --> 00:21:43,594
Speaker 2: themselves and they not only meet the love of their life,

536
00:21:43,634 --> 00:21:45,754
Speaker 2: but they meet friends and they get swopped up on adventures,

537
00:21:46,034 --> 00:21:47,954
Speaker 2: and so when that doesn't happen, you do end up

538
00:21:47,994 --> 00:21:49,674
Speaker 2: a bit depressed alone in the hotel room, but you

539
00:21:49,674 --> 00:21:51,234
Speaker 2: don't want to tell anyone because you're like, it's not

540
00:21:51,594 --> 00:21:52,914
Speaker 2: You're like, but I'm adventurous.

541
00:21:53,074 --> 00:21:55,114
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I just want to post my tacos on

542
00:21:55,154 --> 00:21:57,033
Speaker 1: my Instagram story. So you think I'm doing that all

543
00:21:57,074 --> 00:21:58,154
Speaker 1: the time. So true.

544
00:21:58,274 --> 00:22:00,594
Speaker 2: So after we find out that Alex and Poppier friends

545
00:22:00,634 --> 00:22:02,994
Speaker 2: and he meets her parents, Molly Shannon is only this

546
00:22:03,074 --> 00:22:05,353
Speaker 2: movie for a second, but she's so good. So they

547
00:22:05,474 --> 00:22:07,314
Speaker 2: nearly cut the scene where she comes in with the

548
00:22:07,354 --> 00:22:10,474
Speaker 2: massive box of condoms, and Emily Henry said that she

549
00:22:10,594 --> 00:22:12,394
Speaker 2: knew they were going to probably cut that scene because

550
00:22:12,394 --> 00:22:14,234
Speaker 2: she's like, it doesn't really progress the story, but she

551
00:22:14,474 --> 00:22:16,594
Speaker 2: loved it so much, so they filmed it and the

552
00:22:16,634 --> 00:22:17,394
Speaker 2: director kept it in.

553
00:22:17,674 --> 00:22:18,154
Speaker 1: I liked it.

554
00:22:18,954 --> 00:22:21,234
Speaker 2: It really just gives so much insight into like Poppy's character,

555
00:22:21,314 --> 00:22:22,954
Speaker 2: because again, like we don't get as much of her

556
00:22:23,034 --> 00:22:24,754
Speaker 2: backstory in the movie as we do in the book

557
00:22:24,794 --> 00:22:26,834
Speaker 2: to explain why she is the way she is, and

558
00:22:26,954 --> 00:22:29,914
Speaker 2: we've also cut her two brothers from the story, so

559
00:22:30,034 --> 00:22:32,033
Speaker 2: it's like you only really get her parents to kind

560
00:22:32,034 --> 00:22:34,033
Speaker 2: of explain why she's like that.

561
00:22:34,074 --> 00:22:36,194
Speaker 1: Which I'm glad we got parents scene because I feel

562
00:22:36,234 --> 00:22:39,114
Speaker 1: like in traditional rom coms it seems like the woman

563
00:22:39,194 --> 00:22:42,354
Speaker 1: just has no family ever. Yeah, and like the only

564
00:22:42,394 --> 00:22:44,794
Speaker 1: way she can find family is if she finds a

565
00:22:44,834 --> 00:22:47,313
Speaker 1: man like stays with him, and then they're like, oh,

566
00:22:47,554 --> 00:22:49,674
Speaker 1: she'll be fine if she's exactly.

567
00:22:50,234 --> 00:22:52,554
Speaker 2: We also get onto our first trip with the two friends,

568
00:22:52,554 --> 00:22:54,874
Speaker 2: so we're jumping back and forth between timelines. We know

569
00:22:54,994 --> 00:22:57,354
Speaker 2: in present day they're are strange and haven't spoken for

570
00:22:57,434 --> 00:23:00,194
Speaker 2: two years, heartbreaking, But then we get all these scenes

571
00:23:00,234 --> 00:23:03,114
Speaker 2: going back to different trips that they've taken, starting off

572
00:23:03,194 --> 00:23:05,273
Speaker 2: with their camping Canadia invention.

573
00:23:05,594 --> 00:23:08,754
Speaker 1: Yes, Alex has just broken up with his girlfriend Sarah,

574
00:23:08,994 --> 00:23:11,074
Speaker 1: or she broke up with him, and he's really really sad.

575
00:23:11,354 --> 00:23:13,793
Speaker 1: So this is off the back of him visiting her

576
00:23:13,874 --> 00:23:17,033
Speaker 1: and her parents, and then they go camping together in Canada,

577
00:23:17,074 --> 00:23:19,354
Speaker 1: which is one of the places he's always wanted to go. Yeah.

578
00:23:21,554 --> 00:23:23,674
Speaker 2: It is very cute though, and we have again all

579
00:23:23,754 --> 00:23:26,074
Speaker 2: of these scenes of them like on adventures and like

580
00:23:26,194 --> 00:23:28,994
Speaker 2: them finding their travel rhythm together. And again this is

581
00:23:29,034 --> 00:23:30,674
Speaker 2: where I think their chemistry did come through.

582
00:23:30,794 --> 00:23:32,954
Speaker 1: But it should have come through a little bit more. Yeah,

583
00:23:33,034 --> 00:23:35,273
Speaker 1: but it was fine. There's all these little callbacks to

584
00:23:35,354 --> 00:23:35,674
Speaker 1: the book.

585
00:23:36,114 --> 00:23:37,954
Speaker 2: Like in the book, one thing they say is like,

586
00:23:38,074 --> 00:23:39,874
Speaker 2: it speaks to me on a trip they go on

587
00:23:39,954 --> 00:23:41,874
Speaker 2: where someone says that to them and they repeated over

588
00:23:41,914 --> 00:23:43,714
Speaker 2: and over to each other. So when she looks and

589
00:23:43,794 --> 00:23:46,834
Speaker 2: sees that crazy statue and she's like, it speaks to me,

590
00:23:46,914 --> 00:23:48,754
Speaker 2: Like she says it once, but it's a real callback

591
00:23:48,754 --> 00:23:52,674
Speaker 2: to like a whole chapter book, full chapter. And then

592
00:23:52,754 --> 00:23:55,274
Speaker 2: they meet Buck played by Lucas Gage, who I'm always

593
00:23:55,314 --> 00:23:57,874
Speaker 2: so happy to see pop up in anything, like just

594
00:23:57,914 --> 00:23:59,994
Speaker 2: find that man is so funny and like Buck, it

595
00:24:00,154 --> 00:24:04,114
Speaker 2: like lives in the forest, but he's got a speedboat.

596
00:24:05,514 --> 00:24:07,954
Speaker 2: In the book, they live in this like shackled house

597
00:24:08,034 --> 00:24:10,273
Speaker 2: him and like fifty other people and they go there

598
00:24:10,274 --> 00:24:12,834
Speaker 2: and there's tents in the backyard they sleep in. But yes,

599
00:24:12,994 --> 00:24:14,793
Speaker 2: in this they're just they just capt Well, the thing

600
00:24:14,874 --> 00:24:17,754
Speaker 2: is they're like all backpackers, wanderers, adventurers. They're all doing

601
00:24:17,834 --> 00:24:20,074
Speaker 2: like part time contract job. So that's why they're all

602
00:24:20,154 --> 00:24:22,634
Speaker 2: camping in the forest. And it's kind of a cute

603
00:24:22,674 --> 00:24:25,474
Speaker 2: moment because on the boat you can see that Poppy

604
00:24:25,594 --> 00:24:28,274
Speaker 2: is desperate to go because she's desperate to have adventure

605
00:24:28,314 --> 00:24:30,194
Speaker 2: and like tick these things off a list that she's

606
00:24:30,234 --> 00:24:32,354
Speaker 2: got in her head. And you can tell Alex doesn't

607
00:24:32,354 --> 00:24:34,354
Speaker 2: want to go because that's his nightmare. Yeah, but he

608
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:37,434
Speaker 2: looks at her and can tell that she is so

609
00:24:37,634 --> 00:24:41,394
Speaker 2: desperate to go and so desperate to sleep with lue Cage.

610
00:24:41,794 --> 00:24:43,074
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she doesn't.

611
00:24:43,594 --> 00:24:45,313
Speaker 3: And then we also get a little tom blythe kind

612
00:24:45,314 --> 00:24:45,954
Speaker 3: of naked scene.

613
00:24:46,034 --> 00:24:48,514
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed, Yeah, I enjoyed that. So they're both

614
00:24:48,594 --> 00:24:50,394
Speaker 1: like single, They're like, let's make the most of it.

615
00:24:50,514 --> 00:24:53,034
Speaker 1: We're clearly platonic friends, so let's go sleep with other people.

616
00:24:53,394 --> 00:24:55,674
Speaker 1: It doesn't really work out. They end up in the

617
00:24:55,754 --> 00:24:59,273
Speaker 1: tent together, but it's still very platonic. Yeah. And then

618
00:24:59,394 --> 00:25:01,394
Speaker 1: that's where we see them make the pact of like

619
00:25:01,554 --> 00:25:04,474
Speaker 1: doing this thing every single summer for the rest of history.

620
00:25:05,074 --> 00:25:07,674
Speaker 2: The thing is in the book. I was like ripping

621
00:25:07,754 --> 00:25:10,154
Speaker 2: the pages forward so desperate for them to hook up.

622
00:25:10,194 --> 00:25:12,754
Speaker 2: I'm kiss in the movie, I was like, maybe you

623
00:25:12,794 --> 00:25:14,114
Speaker 2: guys are better as friends.

624
00:25:14,634 --> 00:25:18,634
Speaker 1: I think they were friends, Like even in their boat scene,

625
00:25:18,754 --> 00:25:20,994
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, I think you should.

626
00:25:21,234 --> 00:25:22,594
Speaker 3: Cook up with the weird boat guy.

627
00:25:22,874 --> 00:25:24,354
Speaker 1: Yeah, Age, Yeah, liked it.

628
00:25:24,994 --> 00:25:26,714
Speaker 2: So then the thing is in the book again, you

629
00:25:26,834 --> 00:25:29,474
Speaker 2: have a lot more trips that they take. Trips in

630
00:25:29,594 --> 00:25:31,273
Speaker 2: the movie you don't see as many. Some of them

631
00:25:31,314 --> 00:25:34,234
Speaker 2: have condensed, But the New Orleans scene is very much

632
00:25:34,354 --> 00:25:37,194
Speaker 2: that whole sequence of events is very much like kind

633
00:25:37,274 --> 00:25:39,954
Speaker 2: of made for and ramped up for the movie. And

634
00:25:40,074 --> 00:25:42,234
Speaker 2: I honestly there's a New Orleans scene where they pretend

635
00:25:42,314 --> 00:25:44,354
Speaker 2: to be the married couple and she's in the wig

636
00:25:44,514 --> 00:25:46,234
Speaker 2: and everything. Yeah, and I do think that's where the

637
00:25:46,354 --> 00:25:48,114
Speaker 2: chemistry is the best. What do you think of the

638
00:25:48,194 --> 00:25:50,194
Speaker 2: dance scene when they get on the dance floor, because

639
00:25:50,234 --> 00:25:52,434
Speaker 2: that really okay, just so you know, that's meant to

640
00:25:52,474 --> 00:25:53,994
Speaker 2: be the standout scene of the show.

641
00:25:54,354 --> 00:25:55,394
Speaker 1: And I saw it in the trailer.

642
00:25:55,594 --> 00:25:57,314
Speaker 2: Most Yeah, that's why it's in the trailer, and most

643
00:25:57,394 --> 00:25:59,394
Speaker 2: people say that it's their favorite scene from the movie.

644
00:25:59,434 --> 00:26:02,114
Speaker 1: You didn't like it, I mean I liked it because

645
00:26:02,154 --> 00:26:03,914
Speaker 1: I like, I think it was the first time you

646
00:26:03,994 --> 00:26:08,074
Speaker 1: see like a character a mini character development from Alex. Yeah,

647
00:26:08,194 --> 00:26:11,194
Speaker 1: because like he and they talk about this in the movie,

648
00:26:11,234 --> 00:26:12,634
Speaker 1: and I'm sure in the book how he is like

649
00:26:12,674 --> 00:26:15,554
Speaker 1: a different person on vacation. So he's like this really

650
00:26:15,674 --> 00:26:19,354
Speaker 1: like stiff, like awkward, introverted guy. Yeah, and then she

651
00:26:19,634 --> 00:26:21,674
Speaker 1: just says like, oh, he'll show you how to dance

652
00:26:21,794 --> 00:26:24,034
Speaker 1: right now, knowing that he wouldn't do it, and he

653
00:26:24,154 --> 00:26:24,994
Speaker 1: just gets up and gives it.

654
00:26:25,234 --> 00:26:25,634
Speaker 3: He does it.

655
00:26:25,834 --> 00:26:28,034
Speaker 2: Yeah, he gets and you can see like the happiness.

656
00:26:28,074 --> 00:26:29,634
Speaker 2: And this is where tom Blythe is really good. Actually,

657
00:26:29,634 --> 00:26:30,874
Speaker 2: they're both so good in the scene.

658
00:26:30,874 --> 00:26:31,313
Speaker 1: I'll give him.

659
00:26:31,314 --> 00:26:32,954
Speaker 2: They're both great in the scene, and I see chemistry

660
00:26:32,994 --> 00:26:38,034
Speaker 2: between but tom Blythe is like he plays that. Alex

661
00:26:38,194 --> 00:26:40,114
Speaker 2: is just so like he's nervous, but then he's just

662
00:26:40,194 --> 00:26:42,273
Speaker 2: so happy with himself that he's done this because it's

663
00:26:42,314 --> 00:26:44,513
Speaker 2: not something he would ever do. And that does explain

664
00:26:44,594 --> 00:26:46,513
Speaker 2: how he falls in love with Poppy, because he likes

665
00:26:46,514 --> 00:26:48,234
Speaker 2: her a lot as a friend before that, but in

666
00:26:48,354 --> 00:26:50,594
Speaker 2: that dancing scene, he's kind of looking her like, wow,

667
00:26:50,714 --> 00:26:53,714
Speaker 2: you've turned me into a new person and I'm obsessed

668
00:26:53,754 --> 00:26:53,954
Speaker 2: with you.

669
00:26:54,314 --> 00:26:55,714
Speaker 1: So that's really cute, I guess.

670
00:26:56,034 --> 00:26:59,154
Speaker 2: Shall we move on to the Tuscany trip, which is

671
00:26:59,194 --> 00:27:02,594
Speaker 2: an amalgamation of two different scenes in the book. Oh yeah,

672
00:27:02,714 --> 00:27:04,234
Speaker 2: so it's doing a lot of the heavy lifting to

673
00:27:04,274 --> 00:27:04,594
Speaker 2: make up.

674
00:27:04,634 --> 00:27:05,634
Speaker 1: I get it. I get in the movie.

675
00:27:05,674 --> 00:27:08,754
Speaker 2: They can't have different trips with ten different things would

676
00:27:08,754 --> 00:27:10,314
Speaker 2: be all over the place. Do you think it should

677
00:27:10,314 --> 00:27:12,273
Speaker 2: have been a mini series? I was thinking that as

678
00:27:12,274 --> 00:27:14,313
Speaker 2: I watched it, like, would we have been better as

679
00:27:14,314 --> 00:27:16,194
Speaker 2: a miniseries to get all of these trips in or

680
00:27:16,234 --> 00:27:16,434
Speaker 2: does it?

681
00:27:18,234 --> 00:27:20,273
Speaker 1: Actually? I think I would have preferred it as a

682
00:27:20,314 --> 00:27:24,274
Speaker 1: mini series really like a country per episode, Yeah, okay, yeah,

683
00:27:24,474 --> 00:27:25,994
Speaker 1: and then like some flashbacks in between.

684
00:27:26,114 --> 00:27:27,834
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that would have helped it kind of like

685
00:27:28,074 --> 00:27:30,273
Speaker 2: just would have helped the chemistry and the relationship grow.

686
00:27:30,314 --> 00:27:33,114
Speaker 1: Because I just felt like it was too long, too

687
00:27:33,194 --> 00:27:36,273
Speaker 1: many things, like unnecessary things happened in the moon, like

688
00:27:36,794 --> 00:27:38,194
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I should have been half an hour.

689
00:27:39,114 --> 00:27:41,874
Speaker 2: No, no, But also so many important thing from the book,

690
00:27:41,874 --> 00:27:43,114
Speaker 2: because the thing is you have to believe this is

691
00:27:43,194 --> 00:27:46,554
Speaker 2: a best friend situation that's spanned over a decade and

692
00:27:46,674 --> 00:27:49,234
Speaker 2: then two years of silence and then them coming back

693
00:27:49,274 --> 00:27:52,754
Speaker 2: together under these like extraordinary circumstances, so you have to

694
00:27:52,794 --> 00:27:54,634
Speaker 2: see that. But so we have the Tuscany trip, which

695
00:27:54,634 --> 00:27:56,474
Speaker 2: stands in for a lot of different locations in the book.

696
00:27:56,634 --> 00:27:59,754
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it hasn't been awkward in the start, Yeah,

697
00:27:59,794 --> 00:28:01,273
Speaker 1: because Alex is back with.

698
00:28:01,354 --> 00:28:04,554
Speaker 2: Sarah yes, played by Sarah Catherine Hawker. People would know

699
00:28:04,634 --> 00:28:06,474
Speaker 2: from the last season of White Lotus Piper.

700
00:28:06,754 --> 00:28:08,874
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yea, yeah, do you not know that's her?

701
00:28:09,034 --> 00:28:09,714
Speaker 1: No, I didn't know this.

702
00:28:09,914 --> 00:28:13,554
Speaker 3: Yes, and then of course our boy also, yeah, confession.

703
00:28:14,114 --> 00:28:17,274
Speaker 1: When I was watching this, yeah, I wasn't wearing my glasses.

704
00:28:17,834 --> 00:28:20,434
Speaker 3: I can't believe you just said that. Now we're halfway

705
00:28:20,514 --> 00:28:20,754
Speaker 3: through this.

706
00:28:21,114 --> 00:28:24,154
Speaker 1: No, I could see what was happening. I've been with you.

707
00:28:24,234 --> 00:28:26,314
Speaker 3: When you're not wearing your glasses, you can't see a thing.

708
00:28:27,394 --> 00:28:29,314
Speaker 3: I don't believe you've been seeing these people kiss. Do

709
00:28:29,354 --> 00:28:30,794
Speaker 3: you even know what the ending is? I do.

710
00:28:31,474 --> 00:28:33,874
Speaker 2: I'm just everyone's sound listening back to everything you've said.

711
00:28:33,914 --> 00:28:35,754
Speaker 2: Been like taking that with a grain of salt. No,

712
00:28:36,434 --> 00:28:39,634
Speaker 2: you're like they'd never danced. How could you see their

713
00:28:39,834 --> 00:28:41,514
Speaker 2: of course you couldn't see the chemistry because they just

714
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:43,554
Speaker 2: two blobs on the screen moving around.

715
00:28:44,474 --> 00:28:45,234
Speaker 1: No, I could see.

716
00:28:45,274 --> 00:28:47,554
Speaker 3: I could see your opinions of veto and see.

717
00:28:47,634 --> 00:28:49,114
Speaker 1: I just couldn't read the subtitles.

718
00:28:49,274 --> 00:28:52,594
Speaker 2: Okay, you watch with subtitles, that's for another Obviously, how

719
00:28:52,634 --> 00:28:54,554
Speaker 2: do you not watch what I would never watch? Changing

720
00:28:54,554 --> 00:28:56,554
Speaker 2: the subtitles? And if anyone says to me, you watched

721
00:28:56,554 --> 00:28:58,634
Speaker 2: Emily and Parison subtitles. No, I was a guest at

722
00:28:58,674 --> 00:29:00,594
Speaker 2: someone else's house and they put the subtitles on.

723
00:29:00,754 --> 00:29:02,714
Speaker 1: I have to watch your subtitles because I only watch

724
00:29:02,794 --> 00:29:04,514
Speaker 1: movies when I'm eating food, and I can't hear that

725
00:29:04,594 --> 00:29:06,274
Speaker 1: when I'm chewing Emily.

726
00:29:06,154 --> 00:29:07,954
Speaker 3: You cannot something like that.

727
00:29:08,074 --> 00:29:10,274
Speaker 2: You're missing all the new ones, and you're reading ahead

728
00:29:10,314 --> 00:29:13,354
Speaker 2: because the line appears on screen before the person has

729
00:29:13,354 --> 00:29:15,194
Speaker 2: said it, so you lose all of the nuance. This

730
00:29:15,394 --> 00:29:17,194
Speaker 2: is not to people who have like any kind of

731
00:29:17,274 --> 00:29:20,234
Speaker 2: eyesight issues who need subtitles. If you've got your glasses on,

732
00:29:20,314 --> 00:29:20,994
Speaker 2: you don't need them.

733
00:29:21,154 --> 00:29:23,034
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't have my glasses on, so you read,

734
00:29:23,834 --> 00:29:25,954
Speaker 1: so I couldn't read the subtitles, and I was lost

735
00:29:26,434 --> 00:29:27,434
Speaker 1: without my subtitles.

736
00:29:27,634 --> 00:29:30,554
Speaker 2: I just think for subtitles, people have them on because

737
00:29:30,554 --> 00:29:33,754
Speaker 2: they're too busy double screening, and then those people don't

738
00:29:33,794 --> 00:29:35,314
Speaker 2: get to have an opinion on whether the movie or

739
00:29:35,354 --> 00:29:36,034
Speaker 2: TV show is good.

740
00:29:36,034 --> 00:29:37,714
Speaker 3: That's not just to you. That's I agree.

741
00:29:37,714 --> 00:29:41,114
Speaker 1: If you're double screening, you can't review this, but if

742
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:42,874
Speaker 1: you have subtitles, you're allowed to.

743
00:29:43,714 --> 00:29:45,914
Speaker 3: I just think that that's not how unless you read.

744
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:47,634
Speaker 1: Sometimes I want to read a movie, you can read

745
00:29:47,674 --> 00:29:50,594
Speaker 1: the book. You might as well read the book.

746
00:29:50,634 --> 00:29:51,434
Speaker 3: If you're going to do that.

747
00:29:52,114 --> 00:29:52,914
Speaker 1: Well, no, I don't need to.

748
00:29:53,474 --> 00:29:54,754
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the book is a lot.

749
00:29:54,754 --> 00:29:56,594
Speaker 2: I think you would actually come back around to the

750
00:29:56,994 --> 00:29:58,514
Speaker 2: story if and you would really love it if you

751
00:29:58,554 --> 00:29:59,034
Speaker 2: read the book.

752
00:29:59,274 --> 00:30:01,994
Speaker 1: It's also, yeah, should a movie to book? Yes?

753
00:30:02,514 --> 00:30:04,554
Speaker 3: No, I've done that before and sometimes it's great.

754
00:30:04,874 --> 00:30:06,114
Speaker 2: The thing is, you already knew that were going to

755
00:30:06,154 --> 00:30:08,514
Speaker 2: get together before you picked up because Emily Henry book,

756
00:30:08,834 --> 00:30:10,554
Speaker 2: and there's so many things in here we can't even

757
00:30:10,594 --> 00:30:12,154
Speaker 2: touch on today you'll be like, who are these people?

758
00:30:12,194 --> 00:30:16,434
Speaker 1: What is happening? Okay? So anyway back to Tuscany.

759
00:30:16,674 --> 00:30:20,074
Speaker 3: So Sarah kathin Hawkies is playing Sarah and then Lucian

760
00:30:20,274 --> 00:30:24,874
Speaker 3: Leviscuant is playing Trey obviously from Emily in Paris.

761
00:30:24,674 --> 00:30:27,154
Speaker 1: And they're just not making him like mean boys. You know,

762
00:30:27,274 --> 00:30:28,794
Speaker 1: he's always the second choice.

763
00:30:31,074 --> 00:30:35,274
Speaker 2: Well, someone be the leading man, Let someone pick him

764
00:30:35,354 --> 00:30:38,114
Speaker 2: for one so hot he's so hot and no one

765
00:30:38,314 --> 00:30:39,234
Speaker 2: ever picks him.

766
00:30:39,434 --> 00:30:43,474
Speaker 1: Okay, I really wanted I really wanted him and to

767
00:30:43,554 --> 00:30:47,234
Speaker 1: end up together. They have so much good chemistry.

768
00:30:48,194 --> 00:30:49,514
Speaker 3: I was like, no, stay with that guy?

769
00:30:49,594 --> 00:30:52,394
Speaker 2: Can I tell you him and Alex together I actually

770
00:30:52,434 --> 00:30:54,114
Speaker 2: loved on screen, and I think they should have an

771
00:30:54,114 --> 00:30:57,314
Speaker 2: odd couple kind of spin off because Trey and Alex

772
00:30:57,474 --> 00:31:00,634
Speaker 2: just come from different worlds. And at one point Trey's like.

773
00:31:00,674 --> 00:31:02,794
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't even have a mailbox, and

774
00:31:02,954 --> 00:31:05,834
Speaker 3: Alex goes, you don't have a mailbox, and then Trey

775
00:31:05,914 --> 00:31:10,234
Speaker 3: says back, with no humor, no, I've got wonderlust. It's like,

776
00:31:11,674 --> 00:31:14,234
Speaker 3: no one's allowed to say that. That's the worst thing

777
00:31:14,314 --> 00:31:15,594
Speaker 3: that anyone could ever say.

778
00:31:16,034 --> 00:31:18,234
Speaker 2: Can you imagine any human being but a grown man

779
00:31:18,314 --> 00:31:21,634
Speaker 2: saying that without a hint of irony or humor. So

780
00:31:21,794 --> 00:31:23,234
Speaker 2: I got the dick for him then, So I do

781
00:31:23,434 --> 00:31:26,594
Speaker 2: understand why Poppy didn't choose him. But yes, we've got

782
00:31:26,634 --> 00:31:27,474
Speaker 2: the four couple that.

783
00:31:27,514 --> 00:31:30,594
Speaker 1: You're like, has a strong choice to make someone unlikable,

784
00:31:31,074 --> 00:31:33,274
Speaker 1: like because he's just so likable and everything he's.

785
00:31:33,154 --> 00:31:35,714
Speaker 2: In Yeah again, well again, he's meant to be. He's

786
00:31:35,714 --> 00:31:37,194
Speaker 2: likable in the book. When they break on the book,

787
00:31:37,234 --> 00:31:39,034
Speaker 2: they're just like, we had a great time together, but

788
00:31:39,114 --> 00:31:41,434
Speaker 2: we don't want the same thing. So like peace out,

789
00:31:41,514 --> 00:31:42,314
Speaker 2: like they high five.

790
00:31:42,394 --> 00:31:42,954
Speaker 1: It's fine.

791
00:31:43,474 --> 00:31:45,954
Speaker 2: So we've got the two couples in the Tuscan villa

792
00:31:46,114 --> 00:31:50,514
Speaker 2: for this couple's holiday, which is a terrible idea because

793
00:31:50,714 --> 00:31:53,394
Speaker 2: it's tense and it causes a lot of issues. And

794
00:31:53,474 --> 00:31:54,834
Speaker 2: I think this is a good time to talk about

795
00:31:54,834 --> 00:31:58,714
Speaker 2: the character of Sarah. Okay, because in any other world,

796
00:31:59,314 --> 00:32:02,514
Speaker 2: this is Sarah's story and Poppy is the villain. Can

797
00:32:02,594 --> 00:32:06,154
Speaker 2: you imagine Sarah explaining pop On to her friends justice

798
00:32:06,154 --> 00:32:09,554
Speaker 2: for fucking Sarah, yet justice for Sarah. Want to come

799
00:32:09,634 --> 00:32:13,554
Speaker 2: to this, I don't know, It's just it's just sometimes

800
00:32:13,594 --> 00:32:15,634
Speaker 2: the main girl is actually the villain and we just

801
00:32:15,674 --> 00:32:16,874
Speaker 2: happen to get her point of view.

802
00:32:17,234 --> 00:32:22,914
Speaker 3: Not the summer turned pretty for lady, I know, lazy,

803
00:32:22,994 --> 00:32:24,354
Speaker 3: It's like, where is her story?

804
00:32:25,114 --> 00:32:28,714
Speaker 2: Could just imagine Sarah explaining Poppy to her friends, like, say,

805
00:32:28,794 --> 00:32:30,994
Speaker 2: you and Iron are having drinks with Sarah. She's our

806
00:32:31,074 --> 00:32:33,874
Speaker 2: friend and she's like, I'm Dames guy called Alex. I've

807
00:32:33,874 --> 00:32:35,834
Speaker 2: known him forever. We've been on and off and get

808
00:32:35,874 --> 00:32:37,754
Speaker 2: a little bit, but like we're really making goal of

809
00:32:37,794 --> 00:32:38,114
Speaker 2: this time.

810
00:32:38,194 --> 00:32:40,234
Speaker 1: My families know each other, Yah, we've known each other

811
00:32:40,314 --> 00:32:40,674
Speaker 1: whole life.

812
00:32:40,834 --> 00:32:41,514
Speaker 3: On the same page.

813
00:32:41,554 --> 00:32:43,594
Speaker 2: We both want to stay in Landfield, we both want

814
00:32:43,634 --> 00:32:45,714
Speaker 2: to get married with one of kids in the book.

815
00:32:45,754 --> 00:32:47,794
Speaker 2: They're also both teachers who end up teaching at the

816
00:32:47,794 --> 00:32:49,954
Speaker 2: same school, so they're even more kind of like in

817
00:32:50,074 --> 00:32:52,634
Speaker 2: each other's lives, and they meet at college. But he

818
00:32:52,754 --> 00:32:55,714
Speaker 2: has this best friend, Sarah tells us, and her name's Poppy.

819
00:32:56,434 --> 00:32:59,034
Speaker 2: Now he goes on a holiday every year with Poppy,

820
00:32:59,234 --> 00:33:00,954
Speaker 2: just the two of them, to which I have never

821
00:33:00,994 --> 00:33:04,314
Speaker 2: been invited. Poppy calls him and messages him all the time,

822
00:33:04,394 --> 00:33:07,074
Speaker 2: and she's always in a disaster, something terrible is all

823
00:33:07,114 --> 00:33:09,354
Speaker 2: always happening, and Alex has to go and save her

824
00:33:09,434 --> 00:33:11,554
Speaker 2: and look after her. And every time I'm with Poppy,

825
00:33:11,674 --> 00:33:13,434
Speaker 2: she pretends to be my friend, but I get a

826
00:33:13,554 --> 00:33:15,754
Speaker 2: terrible vibe from her, And if that was our friend,

827
00:33:15,834 --> 00:33:16,154
Speaker 2: we'd be.

828
00:33:16,234 --> 00:33:18,994
Speaker 3: Like, who is this monster? And you need to tell

829
00:33:19,074 --> 00:33:20,514
Speaker 3: him he can't see her anymore?

830
00:33:21,634 --> 00:33:26,114
Speaker 1: Right, Oh my god, Oh my god, you're looking distressed.

831
00:33:26,794 --> 00:33:28,674
Speaker 3: I'm just saying Sarah's point of view of this whole

832
00:33:28,754 --> 00:33:30,354
Speaker 3: debarcle is a very different story.

833
00:33:30,794 --> 00:33:33,514
Speaker 1: And now I'm just rethinking about seeing the Tuscany where

834
00:33:33,514 --> 00:33:35,634
Speaker 1: they're like about to go to bed, yeah, and he's

835
00:33:35,634 --> 00:33:38,314
Speaker 1: like on his phone and she's like is it Poppy, Yeah,

836
00:33:38,354 --> 00:33:40,794
Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, she'll probably go check on her, right, Yeah,

837
00:33:40,994 --> 00:33:45,474
Speaker 1: you sit you're ask you sit down, and you stay.

838
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:48,714
Speaker 1: You have sex with your beautiful girl, and you go

839
00:33:48,794 --> 00:33:49,154
Speaker 1: to sleep.

840
00:33:49,234 --> 00:33:51,034
Speaker 2: But she can't say that because then she looks like

841
00:33:51,114 --> 00:33:54,274
Speaker 2: the villain of like this controlling girlfriend and like go

842
00:33:54,394 --> 00:33:54,874
Speaker 2: check on her.

843
00:33:55,234 --> 00:33:58,194
Speaker 1: And he drives her into town for a pregnancy test

844
00:33:58,274 --> 00:33:58,594
Speaker 1: and then.

845
00:33:58,594 --> 00:34:00,754
Speaker 3: Proposes to Sarah, which again he doesn't do in the books,

846
00:34:00,874 --> 00:34:01,594
Speaker 3: really kissing her.

847
00:34:01,914 --> 00:34:04,874
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, in the book they have that kiss,

848
00:34:04,874 --> 00:34:08,154
Speaker 1: and then she's from this relationship.

849
00:34:08,274 --> 00:34:10,194
Speaker 2: And then in the movie he proposes to her like

850
00:34:10,194 --> 00:34:12,433
Speaker 2: obviously had the ring, but he only proposes to her

851
00:34:12,714 --> 00:34:15,194
Speaker 2: because he thinks Poppy is never gonna love him from

852
00:34:15,234 --> 00:34:15,674
Speaker 2: their kids.

853
00:34:16,194 --> 00:34:19,914
Speaker 1: So she also gets hate this guy. I hate Alix.

854
00:34:20,434 --> 00:34:22,834
Speaker 3: I mean he's he's just also movie people that meant

855
00:34:22,874 --> 00:34:23,434
Speaker 3: to be perfect.

856
00:34:23,514 --> 00:34:27,913
Speaker 1: He's just behavior. Also you're like, oh, I'll just keep

857
00:34:27,994 --> 00:34:28,794
Speaker 1: her on like the back.

858
00:34:29,074 --> 00:34:29,274
Speaker 2: Yeah.

859
00:34:29,714 --> 00:34:31,434
Speaker 1: See if my main girl likes me, not oh she

860
00:34:31,474 --> 00:34:33,074
Speaker 1: doesn't like me, Okay, I guess I'll marry this one.

861
00:34:33,234 --> 00:34:34,274
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a bit like that.

862
00:34:34,394 --> 00:34:36,834
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying the Sarah spinoff is a very

863
00:34:36,834 --> 00:34:39,354
Speaker 2: different story to this. So again, in the book, she's

864
00:34:39,394 --> 00:34:42,794
Speaker 2: a teacher and when Poppy goes to Lynnfield at the end, oh.

865
00:34:42,754 --> 00:34:45,114
Speaker 1: Fuck, we need someone to write about sarah story. We

866
00:34:45,234 --> 00:34:46,514
Speaker 1: need someone to do a wicked.

867
00:34:47,234 --> 00:34:50,594
Speaker 2: O my god. Yes, yes, the untold story of Sarah

868
00:34:50,754 --> 00:34:53,234
Speaker 2: from the people we made on vacation and it's a

869
00:34:53,354 --> 00:34:54,194
Speaker 2: very different story.

870
00:34:55,834 --> 00:34:57,234
Speaker 1: So can we write it? Yeah, let's do it. I

871
00:34:57,314 --> 00:34:58,034
Speaker 1: can do it right after this.

872
00:34:58,674 --> 00:35:00,914
Speaker 2: So in the book, Poppy goes to the school to

873
00:35:00,954 --> 00:35:03,314
Speaker 2: tell how she loves him and because the school's locked

874
00:35:03,354 --> 00:35:05,194
Speaker 2: because you can't just let strangers into a school, and

875
00:35:05,234 --> 00:35:06,954
Speaker 2: Poppy can't get that because she's special.

876
00:35:07,274 --> 00:35:11,473
Speaker 1: Sorry that was me. She's fine now, we just made

877
00:35:11,514 --> 00:35:12,834
Speaker 1: ourselves hate these people.

878
00:35:14,154 --> 00:35:19,794
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do it. She's still our girl. And I

879
00:35:19,954 --> 00:35:21,834
Speaker 2: also sometimes it's the same thing with Carry in Sex

880
00:35:21,874 --> 00:35:23,434
Speaker 2: and City. Sometimes you hate her because you relate to

881
00:35:23,474 --> 00:35:25,874
Speaker 2: it too much a lot of the time. When Poppy

882
00:35:25,914 --> 00:35:29,234
Speaker 2: gets into scrapes, I'm like, same girl. And then Sarah

883
00:35:29,314 --> 00:35:30,553
Speaker 2: is the one who comes to the door and tells

884
00:35:30,594 --> 00:35:33,234
Speaker 2: the security letter in and then they have this conversation

885
00:35:33,354 --> 00:35:36,234
Speaker 2: of realization about like Sarah's like, well, you know, he

886
00:35:36,394 --> 00:35:38,274
Speaker 2: kind of always loved you, and all this sort of

887
00:35:38,314 --> 00:35:41,154
Speaker 2: stuff and everything, and they had that moment that's been

888
00:35:41,274 --> 00:35:43,434
Speaker 2: tweaked in the movie, I guess in a kind of

889
00:35:43,514 --> 00:35:46,594
Speaker 2: interesting way where they gave Sarah this extra story, so.

890
00:35:46,714 --> 00:35:50,473
Speaker 1: Like that's the book, it happened straight after. In the book,

891
00:35:50,514 --> 00:35:51,314
Speaker 1: Sarah is a teacher.

892
00:35:51,634 --> 00:35:54,033
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and she just stays a teacher and there's

893
00:35:54,074 --> 00:35:56,473
Speaker 2: no conversation like she and Poppy talk when Pobby comes

894
00:35:56,514 --> 00:35:58,634
Speaker 2: to school to tell her she loves him, and Sarah's like,

895
00:35:58,994 --> 00:36:00,834
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, tell him, like you guys should be

896
00:36:00,834 --> 00:36:01,514
Speaker 2: along together, like.

897
00:36:01,554 --> 00:36:02,434
Speaker 1: I should have, Sarah.

898
00:36:02,954 --> 00:36:05,114
Speaker 2: But in the movie they give her this big arc

899
00:36:05,194 --> 00:36:07,474
Speaker 2: of like she's stuck in this world she want to

900
00:36:07,474 --> 00:36:09,234
Speaker 2: be and she's been told to take over a family

901
00:36:09,314 --> 00:36:11,794
Speaker 2: business and stay in Lynnfield and marry Alex And that's

902
00:36:11,834 --> 00:36:14,314
Speaker 2: why they had that moment where Sarah and Poppy bump

903
00:36:14,434 --> 00:36:16,553
Speaker 2: into each other at the airport. You might have missed

904
00:36:16,594 --> 00:36:20,194
Speaker 2: us if you couldn't read the subtitles quick enough. But Sarah,

905
00:36:20,714 --> 00:36:22,914
Speaker 2: Sarah says to Poppy, you really did be a favor

906
00:36:22,994 --> 00:36:24,954
Speaker 2: because I didn't know my life could be this and

907
00:36:25,034 --> 00:36:26,914
Speaker 2: I didn't know I could have these adventures.

908
00:36:26,474 --> 00:36:28,033
Speaker 1: Because and now she's traveling the world.

909
00:36:28,074 --> 00:36:30,994
Speaker 2: She was very enamored when Poppy was telling her stories

910
00:36:31,034 --> 00:36:32,554
Speaker 2: about traveling in the villainy.

911
00:36:32,754 --> 00:36:33,473
Speaker 1: She's a good friend.

912
00:36:33,554 --> 00:36:36,114
Speaker 2: So she listened listen to Poppy talked and she and

913
00:36:36,154 --> 00:36:37,514
Speaker 2: you can see this look on her face. She's like,

914
00:36:37,554 --> 00:36:39,794
Speaker 2: I didn't even know this was an option to live

915
00:36:39,874 --> 00:36:41,234
Speaker 2: your life like this. I didn't know it was an

916
00:36:41,274 --> 00:36:42,634
Speaker 2: option not to stay in your hometown.

917
00:36:42,714 --> 00:36:44,514
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know because you need.

918
00:36:45,874 --> 00:36:48,114
Speaker 2: And my boyfriend just goes off to these wild countries

919
00:36:48,154 --> 00:36:50,914
Speaker 2: every year with his sexy best friend and then messages

920
00:36:50,954 --> 00:36:53,354
Speaker 2: me two weeks later. So I guess that was kind

921
00:36:53,354 --> 00:36:55,274
Speaker 2: of nice. They gave Sarah this arc of like she's

922
00:36:55,314 --> 00:36:57,194
Speaker 2: the one to tell Poppy, yeah, like you did me

923
00:36:57,234 --> 00:36:59,754
Speaker 2: a favor. You guys belong together kind of go get

924
00:36:59,834 --> 00:37:01,873
Speaker 2: him kind of thing. And then you also get this

925
00:37:02,074 --> 00:37:04,074
Speaker 2: new story for Sarah where she gets to go and

926
00:37:04,194 --> 00:37:06,634
Speaker 2: live this adventurous life. So she's not left behind in

927
00:37:06,674 --> 00:37:08,794
Speaker 2: Lynnfield like Sarah in the book.

928
00:37:10,074 --> 00:37:13,034
Speaker 1: Oh God, Sarah the book just left behind.

929
00:37:13,314 --> 00:37:15,754
Speaker 3: Well, she just is like in Lindfield. I'm sure she's fine.

930
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:18,553
Speaker 2: She was a teacher, she was fine, but she didn't

931
00:37:18,594 --> 00:37:20,714
Speaker 2: have this side story of like wanting like you assume

932
00:37:20,794 --> 00:37:23,234
Speaker 2: she wanted to be there. In the book, she moves

933
00:37:23,274 --> 00:37:25,674
Speaker 2: to Lindfield to teach the same school as Alex, and

934
00:37:25,714 --> 00:37:27,274
Speaker 2: then they break up and he gets together with Poppy,

935
00:37:27,314 --> 00:37:29,434
Speaker 2: and what do they all see each other at school barbecues?

936
00:37:29,474 --> 00:37:32,473
Speaker 2: I guess so God, before they moved to New York.

937
00:37:33,114 --> 00:37:36,114
Speaker 1: Girl, get up, girl, Girl, get out.

938
00:37:35,954 --> 00:37:36,874
Speaker 3: Of there again.

939
00:37:36,914 --> 00:37:39,033
Speaker 2: I can't wait for Emily Henry to write Sarah's story

940
00:37:39,114 --> 00:37:43,393
Speaker 2: of police or we'll write to Emily Henry as we're

941
00:37:43,394 --> 00:37:46,033
Speaker 2: going to like present day. You see Poppy has gone

942
00:37:46,114 --> 00:37:49,674
Speaker 2: to Barcelona to spend time with Alex. Now in the

943
00:37:49,794 --> 00:37:51,754
Speaker 2: book again, I'm gonna stop saying that, I promise, but

944
00:37:51,794 --> 00:37:54,674
Speaker 2: I think this one's important because in the book, she's

945
00:37:54,754 --> 00:37:57,554
Speaker 2: not invited to the wedding because she has not spoken

946
00:37:57,594 --> 00:37:59,314
Speaker 2: to the entire family in the two years.

947
00:37:59,314 --> 00:38:02,714
Speaker 1: Why would David invite his brother's friend he sees once

948
00:38:02,754 --> 00:38:04,034
Speaker 1: a year to his wedding.

949
00:38:03,794 --> 00:38:05,873
Speaker 2: Who he also hasn't talked to her years. So in

950
00:38:05,994 --> 00:38:08,473
Speaker 2: the movie, she acted she's thinking of Alex. She goes

951
00:38:08,474 --> 00:38:10,873
Speaker 2: to type of text and then she goes to delete it,

952
00:38:11,234 --> 00:38:13,074
Speaker 2: and then she accidentally sends it. So then they have

953
00:38:13,154 --> 00:38:15,473
Speaker 2: a text back and forth and he tells her about

954
00:38:15,474 --> 00:38:18,354
Speaker 2: the wedding and then she gets invited, but she wants

955
00:38:18,394 --> 00:38:20,954
Speaker 2: to spend more time with him, so she lies and

956
00:38:21,074 --> 00:38:23,554
Speaker 2: says that she's going on a work trip to Palm Springs,

957
00:38:24,154 --> 00:38:26,554
Speaker 2: And so they have a whole week together, just the

958
00:38:26,634 --> 00:38:28,714
Speaker 2: two of them in Palm Springs, staying in the same

959
00:38:28,794 --> 00:38:29,873
Speaker 2: hotel room. What.

960
00:38:30,714 --> 00:38:32,474
Speaker 3: Yeah, doesn't that change the story.

961
00:38:32,594 --> 00:38:33,714
Speaker 1: That's a whole different story.

962
00:38:33,834 --> 00:38:36,714
Speaker 3: It's a whole different story, and it's a whole Yeah.

963
00:38:36,754 --> 00:38:38,794
Speaker 2: So they're like sleeping in the same bed nearly every

964
00:38:38,874 --> 00:38:40,434
Speaker 2: night for a week leading up to the wedding.

965
00:38:40,834 --> 00:38:41,953
Speaker 1: And were they just having sex?

966
00:38:42,194 --> 00:38:44,754
Speaker 2: Not until the end, like so the same in the book,

967
00:38:44,914 --> 00:38:46,674
Speaker 2: like the end, just before the wedding, they have sex.

968
00:38:46,794 --> 00:38:50,514
Speaker 1: There's no way, So there's no way that would happen.

969
00:38:50,714 --> 00:38:53,154
Speaker 2: So we have a there's a few changes have been made,

970
00:38:53,234 --> 00:38:54,953
Speaker 2: I guess we can talk about now. When they're at

971
00:38:54,994 --> 00:38:57,274
Speaker 2: the wedding. So in Barcelona, you kind of see them

972
00:38:57,314 --> 00:38:59,034
Speaker 2: hanging it out of it together. You see them kind

973
00:38:59,074 --> 00:39:01,473
Speaker 2: of like find each other again, and you see them

974
00:39:01,514 --> 00:39:05,993
Speaker 2: have a kiss, and it's in further they've had sex, right, Yeah,

975
00:39:06,314 --> 00:39:08,953
Speaker 2: it's that classic of like they kiss, they fall onto

976
00:39:08,994 --> 00:39:10,194
Speaker 2: the bear, they grasp each other.

977
00:39:10,354 --> 00:39:12,434
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cut to the next morning when they're lying together

978
00:39:12,554 --> 00:39:15,393
Speaker 1: half naked. Can I tell you I don't want to

979
00:39:15,434 --> 00:39:15,914
Speaker 1: stop set you.

980
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:19,194
Speaker 2: In the book, that sex scene is wild and goes

981
00:39:19,234 --> 00:39:21,954
Speaker 2: on a very long time, and the build up to

982
00:39:22,034 --> 00:39:22,714
Speaker 2: it is so intense.

983
00:39:22,754 --> 00:39:23,714
Speaker 1: I want to read it right now.

984
00:39:23,914 --> 00:39:25,913
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go get We just leave and go get

985
00:39:25,994 --> 00:39:28,634
Speaker 2: the book. So in the book, they've been in this

986
00:39:28,714 --> 00:39:30,913
Speaker 2: hotel room. The air conditioning is broken, which is kind

987
00:39:30,914 --> 00:39:32,393
Speaker 2: of alluding to the movie, but in the book it's

988
00:39:32,434 --> 00:39:35,433
Speaker 2: so much worse. They can't breathe. He's hurt his back

989
00:39:35,514 --> 00:39:37,914
Speaker 2: so badly. He's bed bound for like a few days.

990
00:39:38,194 --> 00:39:41,314
Speaker 2: Things are going terribly. They're having fights with their airbnb guy.

991
00:39:41,634 --> 00:39:44,514
Speaker 2: It's like the tension it's building. It's building, it's building

992
00:39:44,634 --> 00:39:46,754
Speaker 2: is building. Finally they go out and try and have

993
00:39:46,834 --> 00:39:49,114
Speaker 2: this like one last day because of their last day before,

994
00:39:49,154 --> 00:39:52,994
Speaker 2: like the wedding festivity start terrible. Well, he's on painkillers

995
00:39:52,994 --> 00:39:54,594
Speaker 2: at stage, and so they can't actually do anything and

996
00:39:54,634 --> 00:39:57,234
Speaker 2: they have an awful time. They're both so upset because

997
00:39:57,594 --> 00:39:59,473
Speaker 2: in her head, this is like, this is our last chance.

998
00:39:59,514 --> 00:40:01,634
Speaker 2: Because in the book, you're in Poppy's head the whole

999
00:40:01,674 --> 00:40:03,274
Speaker 2: way through pretty much, so you're getting hurs out of

1000
00:40:03,314 --> 00:40:03,634
Speaker 2: the story.

1001
00:40:04,034 --> 00:40:05,674
Speaker 1: And then they get out to the room and they.

1002
00:40:05,594 --> 00:40:09,154
Speaker 2: Just start having this explosi fight, which turns into them

1003
00:40:09,194 --> 00:40:11,354
Speaker 2: having this hot kiss. And you know how in the

1004
00:40:11,474 --> 00:40:14,634
Speaker 2: movie the balcony is all like raining yeah, and it's

1005
00:40:14,674 --> 00:40:15,314
Speaker 2: all shut.

1006
00:40:16,714 --> 00:40:18,034
Speaker 1: With yeah.

1007
00:40:18,154 --> 00:40:19,913
Speaker 2: So in the movie, she runs out and again it's

1008
00:40:19,914 --> 00:40:22,314
Speaker 2: starting to rain. They start ripping at all the tarps

1009
00:40:22,714 --> 00:40:24,994
Speaker 2: and he comes up there and they have this like wild,

1010
00:40:25,154 --> 00:40:28,154
Speaker 2: full sex scene on the tarps outside with the rain

1011
00:40:28,234 --> 00:40:30,873
Speaker 2: coming up, and they even talk like in between it,

1012
00:40:30,994 --> 00:40:32,674
Speaker 2: like they it's just the whole thing is like at

1013
00:40:32,714 --> 00:40:34,513
Speaker 2: one point when they're just like making out and he's

1014
00:40:34,554 --> 00:40:36,314
Speaker 2: going down on her for like ages and then they

1015
00:40:36,394 --> 00:40:39,154
Speaker 2: have sex and it's this whole really steamy scene and

1016
00:40:39,194 --> 00:40:41,674
Speaker 2: they're also talking about like it's also important to the

1017
00:40:41,714 --> 00:40:44,594
Speaker 2: plot because they're sharing information about how long they wanted

1018
00:40:44,634 --> 00:40:46,954
Speaker 2: each other and all these different things and how in

1019
00:40:47,034 --> 00:40:48,674
Speaker 2: love they are and everything. So we have that and

1020
00:40:48,794 --> 00:40:50,513
Speaker 2: here's I'm going to tell you something that's gonna upset

1021
00:40:50,554 --> 00:40:54,314
Speaker 2: you so much. They filmed that scene. That scene exists

1022
00:40:54,394 --> 00:40:57,314
Speaker 2: out in the world, and the reason we didn't see it,

1023
00:40:57,874 --> 00:40:59,674
Speaker 2: and I've never I don't shut up.

1024
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:00,994
Speaker 3: I don't usually hate people.

1025
00:41:01,514 --> 00:41:04,074
Speaker 2: I don't hate people except the people who were in

1026
00:41:04,154 --> 00:41:07,114
Speaker 2: the test audiences for people we meet on vacation.

1027
00:41:07,474 --> 00:41:10,714
Speaker 1: Those those people watch those wild sex and they said

1028
00:41:10,754 --> 00:41:11,714
Speaker 1: too jarring.

1029
00:41:11,834 --> 00:41:14,433
Speaker 3: They said, shut up, doesn't make sense, give me names.

1030
00:41:16,874 --> 00:41:19,914
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm sorry, call the police. You can't do that.

1031
00:41:20,594 --> 00:41:22,194
Speaker 3: They all got cut from the movie.

1032
00:41:23,114 --> 00:41:23,554
Speaker 2: I know.

1033
00:41:23,954 --> 00:41:25,194
Speaker 3: Isn't that the worst thing?

1034
00:41:25,394 --> 00:41:25,434
Speaker 2: No?

1035
00:41:25,634 --> 00:41:25,834
Speaker 1: I know.

1036
00:41:26,034 --> 00:41:31,194
Speaker 3: Wait, Emily, and that's what we end the pod here.

1037
00:41:31,394 --> 00:41:35,754
Speaker 1: So much for listening to this today. Spillers reduced. It's

1038
00:41:35,794 --> 00:41:38,794
Speaker 1: time production mascotstronic so upset.

1039
00:41:39,154 --> 00:41:41,034
Speaker 3: So Emily say you on Monday dance again.

1040
00:41:41,114 --> 00:41:42,474
Speaker 1: We have morning tea on Monday.

1041
00:41:43,314 --> 00:41:46,354
Speaker 3: Emily's left, your soul has left your body.

1042
00:41:47,474 --> 00:41:49,714
Speaker 2: That scene between those two So when you're saying, I

1043
00:41:49,754 --> 00:41:50,634
Speaker 2: don't believe they're in large.

1044
00:41:53,394 --> 00:41:54,873
Speaker 3: So that's why at the top of the movie when

1045
00:41:54,914 --> 00:41:56,434
Speaker 3: you asked me if they had chemistry, I was like,

1046
00:41:56,594 --> 00:41:58,114
Speaker 3: I didn't want to answer because I was like, I

1047
00:41:58,314 --> 00:42:00,873
Speaker 3: do think they had chemistry in the cut scenes that

1048
00:42:00,994 --> 00:42:01,913
Speaker 3: we didn't get to see.

1049
00:42:02,074 --> 00:42:04,714
Speaker 1: Not even jerking that scene would have made the whole

1050
00:42:04,754 --> 00:42:05,074
Speaker 1: movie for.

1051
00:42:05,154 --> 00:42:08,314
Speaker 2: Me, because the thing is, again, they trade information that

1052
00:42:08,394 --> 00:42:10,594
Speaker 2: scene like, yes they have hot, steamy sex, Yes, they

1053
00:42:10,674 --> 00:42:12,794
Speaker 2: rip each other's clothes off, they destroy the balcony, the

1054
00:42:12,874 --> 00:42:15,194
Speaker 2: rains coming down, like it's all sexy, but it's this

1055
00:42:15,394 --> 00:42:17,794
Speaker 2: moment of like, it's all the tension build up from

1056
00:42:17,794 --> 00:42:20,073
Speaker 2: them being in that hotel room for the week living.

1057
00:42:20,594 --> 00:42:22,473
Speaker 1: And they could have done that scene if they cut

1058
00:42:22,554 --> 00:42:23,234
Speaker 1: the well scene.

1059
00:42:25,754 --> 00:42:28,994
Speaker 2: Yeah again, over that whole overnight in the hotel. It

1060
00:42:29,114 --> 00:42:30,954
Speaker 2: was added to make up for this whole week that

1061
00:42:31,034 --> 00:42:33,354
Speaker 2: we don't see between them in the lead up to

1062
00:42:33,394 --> 00:42:35,794
Speaker 2: the wedding. So Emily's Henry has been asked about this

1063
00:42:35,914 --> 00:42:38,074
Speaker 2: so much. The sex sceeds because that is being part

1064
00:42:38,074 --> 00:42:39,274
Speaker 2: of why people love this book.

1065
00:42:39,394 --> 00:42:41,674
Speaker 1: They're like that and all of Emily Henry books, And

1066
00:42:41,754 --> 00:42:43,393
Speaker 1: I'm like, does that mean none of the books will

1067
00:42:43,394 --> 00:42:44,154
Speaker 1: have any of their te I.

1068
00:42:44,114 --> 00:42:47,794
Speaker 2: Don't know, all great sex stad and different test audience,

1069
00:42:47,874 --> 00:42:48,594
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

1070
00:42:48,914 --> 00:42:50,433
Speaker 1: And test audio are they just people who?

1071
00:42:50,674 --> 00:42:52,194
Speaker 2: You know? Why who else can go to a test

1072
00:42:52,234 --> 00:42:54,354
Speaker 2: scredy at like eleven o'clock on a Tuesday. Sorry, real

1073
00:42:54,394 --> 00:42:57,034
Speaker 2: people have jobs. Those people have nothing to do. Ruined

1074
00:42:57,074 --> 00:42:59,074
Speaker 2: it for everyone. So Emily Henry got asked about this

1075
00:42:59,114 --> 00:43:01,554
Speaker 2: a lot because the movie came out in every interviewer

1076
00:43:01,634 --> 00:43:04,354
Speaker 2: because all the interviewers love the books which is like, hey,

1077
00:43:04,754 --> 00:43:07,513
Speaker 2: just one question, where's all the sex scenes, because there's

1078
00:43:07,514 --> 00:43:09,714
Speaker 2: other ones up, like they have sex multiple times after

1079
00:43:09,834 --> 00:43:12,354
Speaker 2: that as well. That I do believe they filmed that.

1080
00:43:12,554 --> 00:43:14,834
Speaker 2: We also didn't see. You only get like this little

1081
00:43:14,914 --> 00:43:17,674
Speaker 2: like kiss and bed kind of situation. And so Emily

1082
00:43:17,794 --> 00:43:19,754
Speaker 2: Henry she talked to a variety about it, and she said,

1083
00:43:19,794 --> 00:43:22,514
Speaker 2: here's what I'll say. I saw the scene and it

1084
00:43:22,634 --> 00:43:24,114
Speaker 2: was gorgeous and perfect.

1085
00:43:24,874 --> 00:43:26,034
Speaker 3: I was like, girl, shut up.

1086
00:43:27,314 --> 00:43:29,554
Speaker 2: Then she says, I actually feel a little bit guilty.

1087
00:43:29,714 --> 00:43:31,554
Speaker 2: This is Emily Henry talking of the sex scene that

1088
00:43:31,594 --> 00:43:33,473
Speaker 2: we will never get to see. She said, I feel

1089
00:43:33,474 --> 00:43:35,154
Speaker 2: a bit guilty because I went and told all my

1090
00:43:35,274 --> 00:43:37,873
Speaker 2: friends it's one of the sexiest sex scenes.

1091
00:43:37,594 --> 00:43:39,514
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life.

1092
00:43:40,034 --> 00:43:41,354
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can hear this next bit.

1093
00:43:41,794 --> 00:43:44,954
Speaker 2: She said, genuinely, it was like Titanic level to me.

1094
00:43:45,434 --> 00:43:48,034
Speaker 1: It was so good. It was so raw and tender.

1095
00:43:48,834 --> 00:43:50,634
Speaker 2: But then she said the director got the feedback from

1096
00:43:50,674 --> 00:43:53,433
Speaker 2: the audience and that it stole the story too much.

1097
00:43:54,674 --> 00:43:56,634
Speaker 1: They have to release a special cut.

1098
00:43:56,954 --> 00:43:59,914
Speaker 3: One hundred percent release the cut. It'll go even bigger

1099
00:44:00,034 --> 00:44:01,074
Speaker 3: number one on Netflix.

1100
00:44:01,194 --> 00:44:01,794
Speaker 1: I will do another.

1101
00:44:02,394 --> 00:44:04,393
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I do think people tuned in to watch

1102
00:44:04,394 --> 00:44:05,834
Speaker 2: it because I thought it was going to be in there,

1103
00:44:06,594 --> 00:44:09,513
Speaker 2: I assume because I haven't read the book, but every

1104
00:44:09,554 --> 00:44:12,514
Speaker 2: book of hers has And You're right, like all of

1105
00:44:12,554 --> 00:44:14,873
Speaker 2: the sex scenes Emily Henry Wright is not just about

1106
00:44:14,914 --> 00:44:17,114
Speaker 2: the sex, but it's like a coming together of these

1107
00:44:17,154 --> 00:44:19,674
Speaker 2: two people who had initially just had like this big

1108
00:44:19,874 --> 00:44:20,913
Speaker 2: like collapse or this.

1109
00:44:21,034 --> 00:44:24,114
Speaker 1: Breakup moment, and they come together and then they talk

1110
00:44:24,234 --> 00:44:26,954
Speaker 1: throughout it, and it's like so for the woman and

1111
00:44:27,074 --> 00:44:29,634
Speaker 1: like she's finally getting what she's wanted this whole time.

1112
00:44:30,154 --> 00:44:31,594
Speaker 1: And I just thought this book didn't have that. I

1113
00:44:31,674 --> 00:44:33,794
Speaker 1: just thought the book it was a different line to say.

1114
00:44:33,914 --> 00:44:36,674
Speaker 2: This party line that everyone in Hollywood trots out is like, oh,

1115
00:44:36,714 --> 00:44:38,354
Speaker 2: I'll do nudity in a sex scene if it's for

1116
00:44:38,434 --> 00:44:39,433
Speaker 2: the story, if it's for the.

1117
00:44:39,434 --> 00:44:41,314
Speaker 1: Plot, And I'm like, well, this was for the plot,

1118
00:44:41,714 --> 00:44:42,393
Speaker 1: and where was it?

1119
00:44:42,674 --> 00:44:44,954
Speaker 2: So then she went on to say, yes, people in

1120
00:44:45,034 --> 00:44:47,953
Speaker 2: the test screenings who weren't familiar with the books again

1121
00:44:47,994 --> 00:44:49,794
Speaker 2: because maybe the people who went to the test screening

1122
00:44:49,834 --> 00:44:52,033
Speaker 2: don't know how to read, said it was too much

1123
00:44:52,074 --> 00:44:54,154
Speaker 2: of a hard right turn in the movie.

1124
00:44:54,354 --> 00:44:56,674
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, have you ever seen a romcon before. I'm

1125
00:44:56,754 --> 00:44:57,754
Speaker 3: so worried for these people.

1126
00:44:57,794 --> 00:45:00,274
Speaker 2: I both hate them and want to help them, like

1127
00:45:00,714 --> 00:45:02,754
Speaker 2: what is going on in their lives that they've never

1128
00:45:02,834 --> 00:45:06,953
Speaker 2: seen this before. And so the director, he's like, well,

1129
00:45:07,154 --> 00:45:08,994
Speaker 2: here's where I kind of also blame Emily Henry. I

1130
00:45:08,994 --> 00:45:10,634
Speaker 2: don't want to drag her into this, and we don't

1131
00:45:10,634 --> 00:45:13,034
Speaker 2: want to be we Hate women podcast. But the director

1132
00:45:13,114 --> 00:45:15,634
Speaker 2: said to her, how important is seeing the sex scene

1133
00:45:15,674 --> 00:45:17,754
Speaker 2: to you and your readers, And she said, I think

1134
00:45:17,794 --> 00:45:19,634
Speaker 2: it's kind of important in a way because it's something

1135
00:45:19,674 --> 00:45:23,274
Speaker 2: we're destigmatizing. But ultimately, my opinion would be that if

1136
00:45:23,314 --> 00:45:24,953
Speaker 2: it doesn't fit in the movie, then it doesn't work.

1137
00:45:25,034 --> 00:45:27,474
Speaker 2: And I had to serve the larger movie, and I

1138
00:45:27,514 --> 00:45:29,354
Speaker 2: don't want people to feel like they were jolted out

1139
00:45:29,354 --> 00:45:29,514
Speaker 2: of the.

1140
00:45:29,554 --> 00:45:33,274
Speaker 1: Story into a different movie. So that's pretty upsetting.

1141
00:45:33,474 --> 00:45:35,194
Speaker 2: There's a few times where I think she have a

1142
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:37,994
Speaker 2: gun to her head when I think she was probably

1143
00:45:38,034 --> 00:45:39,074
Speaker 2: like I'm doing more with Netflix.

1144
00:45:39,114 --> 00:45:39,914
Speaker 1: I can't say anything.

1145
00:45:40,074 --> 00:45:43,634
Speaker 2: So I do ultimately think that might have impacted how

1146
00:45:44,034 --> 00:45:45,514
Speaker 2: not just for the sex scene, but just for the

1147
00:45:45,554 --> 00:45:47,034
Speaker 2: whole lead up to it. Because obviously we know that

1148
00:45:47,114 --> 00:45:48,873
Speaker 2: Poppy and Alex do have sex. They start to fall

1149
00:45:48,914 --> 00:45:51,514
Speaker 2: in love, they go to the wedding, everything's lovey dovey.

1150
00:45:51,914 --> 00:45:53,834
Speaker 2: I feel like they kind of like almost made Alex

1151
00:45:53,914 --> 00:45:56,913
Speaker 2: a little bit too vanilla in the book, because again,

1152
00:45:57,154 --> 00:45:59,033
Speaker 2: in the sex scene in the book that we'll never see,

1153
00:45:59,754 --> 00:46:02,473
Speaker 2: that's when he really confesses all the times he's been

1154
00:46:02,514 --> 00:46:04,433
Speaker 2: in love with her and desperately wanted to have sex

1155
00:46:04,514 --> 00:46:07,634
Speaker 2: with her, including this page of the book Live Rent

1156
00:46:07,674 --> 00:46:09,354
Speaker 2: Free in my head. You know the scene where he

1157
00:46:09,434 --> 00:46:10,873
Speaker 2: goes to look after her and they're supposed to go

1158
00:46:10,874 --> 00:46:12,674
Speaker 2: to norwayn Oh, and you can't surprise her at New

1159
00:46:12,754 --> 00:46:15,474
Speaker 2: York and she's yeah, and she's got the flukes. In

1160
00:46:15,554 --> 00:46:18,033
Speaker 2: the book, she's got pneumonia and she's like so sick

1161
00:46:18,154 --> 00:46:20,314
Speaker 2: she doesn't get out of bed for three days. And

1162
00:46:20,714 --> 00:46:23,834
Speaker 2: when he arrives in her apartment, like she's basically unconscious

1163
00:46:24,234 --> 00:46:25,674
Speaker 2: to the point where she hasn't got out of bed

1164
00:46:25,714 --> 00:46:27,234
Speaker 2: for three days, so she's wet the bed and she's

1165
00:46:27,274 --> 00:46:29,634
Speaker 2: like living in her own filth and like she's so sick.

1166
00:46:30,074 --> 00:46:31,873
Speaker 1: So he no, no, he does.

1167
00:46:31,954 --> 00:46:34,074
Speaker 2: He takes her to like an urgent care and then

1168
00:46:34,074 --> 00:46:36,634
Speaker 2: he also has to like shower her and everything in

1169
00:46:36,674 --> 00:46:39,034
Speaker 2: the book, it's so intense. And then when they're just

1170
00:46:39,154 --> 00:46:40,873
Speaker 2: after they've had sex and they're talking about how much

1171
00:46:40,874 --> 00:46:43,074
Speaker 2: they wanted each other for so long. She was like,

1172
00:46:43,154 --> 00:46:45,154
Speaker 2: I wanted you when you were like looking after me

1173
00:46:45,194 --> 00:46:47,194
Speaker 2: when I had pneumonia. And he's like every morning that

1174
00:46:47,234 --> 00:46:48,794
Speaker 2: I woke up and looked at you. I nearly came

1175
00:46:48,954 --> 00:46:50,234
Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm sorry.

1176
00:46:50,394 --> 00:46:59,433
Speaker 4: What, I'm sorry. I had to re read it because

1177
00:46:59,434 --> 00:47:01,754
Speaker 4: I was watching are you talking about when she was

1178
00:47:02,554 --> 00:47:03,514
Speaker 4: in bed.

1179
00:47:03,594 --> 00:47:06,234
Speaker 2: In her like soiled sheets and you had to lift

1180
00:47:06,314 --> 00:47:08,794
Speaker 2: her up? And then the whole time he's lying next

1181
00:47:08,834 --> 00:47:10,913
Speaker 2: to her, he's giving her like he's like checking her

1182
00:47:10,954 --> 00:47:13,474
Speaker 2: fever night and giving her medication, like he's like spoon

1183
00:47:13,594 --> 00:47:15,954
Speaker 2: feeding her. She can't lift her arms, And I was like,

1184
00:47:16,154 --> 00:47:18,114
Speaker 2: when you read that the book, I was like, oh

1185
00:47:18,194 --> 00:47:19,513
Speaker 2: my god, I love this man so much.

1186
00:47:19,554 --> 00:47:21,194
Speaker 3: Oh he's so lovely. I don't even care if they're

1187
00:47:21,194 --> 00:47:21,554
Speaker 3: not in love.

1188
00:47:21,634 --> 00:47:22,393
Speaker 1: What a lovely man.

1189
00:47:22,754 --> 00:47:25,234
Speaker 2: And then afterwards, when they've had the wild balcony sex

1190
00:47:25,314 --> 00:47:27,393
Speaker 2: and he's telling her all the times he's wanted her

1191
00:47:27,434 --> 00:47:29,154
Speaker 2: and been in love with her, that's what he says,

1192
00:47:29,234 --> 00:47:30,714
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god, that whole seed

1193
00:47:30,914 --> 00:47:32,834
Speaker 2: is all of a sudden disgusting in my head, because

1194
00:47:32,874 --> 00:47:34,194
Speaker 2: what do you mean you had an erection?

1195
00:47:34,354 --> 00:47:36,554
Speaker 3: More, you were like spoon feeding her soup.

1196
00:47:37,394 --> 00:47:39,714
Speaker 2: I understand that's how men work, but they say it

1197
00:47:39,914 --> 00:47:42,674
Speaker 2: like that, I nearly came every time I woke up

1198
00:47:42,714 --> 00:47:43,794
Speaker 2: next to you in your sick bed.

1199
00:47:44,954 --> 00:47:48,754
Speaker 3: It's like, I just think that that really Again, that's

1200
00:47:48,794 --> 00:47:50,554
Speaker 3: Alex's character, and I just think they made him.

1201
00:47:50,794 --> 00:47:52,154
Speaker 2: That was creepy in the book, but at least it

1202
00:47:52,234 --> 00:47:54,914
Speaker 2: was his character, right, Yeah, in the movie they stripped

1203
00:47:54,954 --> 00:47:55,714
Speaker 2: all that away from him.

1204
00:47:55,834 --> 00:47:58,513
Speaker 1: Oh I'm glad he didn't say that because I didn't

1205
00:47:58,514 --> 00:47:59,314
Speaker 1: even have sex.

1206
00:47:59,714 --> 00:48:01,354
Speaker 3: She would have just said it in the rain, I

1207
00:48:01,474 --> 00:48:05,953
Speaker 3: was like talking about a shark writer a sharp right

1208
00:48:06,034 --> 00:48:06,953
Speaker 3: turned to one kiss.

1209
00:48:07,634 --> 00:48:09,473
Speaker 2: But again, in the book, they just had wild sex

1210
00:48:09,474 --> 00:48:11,834
Speaker 2: and they were having more sex, so like that felt okay,

1211
00:48:12,594 --> 00:48:15,154
Speaker 2: it felt fine, Okay, heat of the moment, the heat

1212
00:48:15,194 --> 00:48:16,873
Speaker 2: of the moment exactly so. And they go to the wedding.

1213
00:48:16,874 --> 00:48:18,594
Speaker 2: We're back to the movie. Now, we've got to lay

1214
00:48:18,634 --> 00:48:22,433
Speaker 2: this plane. Guys, they're at the wedding. They're so in love,

1215
00:48:22,594 --> 00:48:24,714
Speaker 2: it's so cute. We can't even get into any of

1216
00:48:24,714 --> 00:48:26,594
Speaker 2: the side characters because we've spent too much time going

1217
00:48:26,634 --> 00:48:28,834
Speaker 2: back and forth on the book. And then this is

1218
00:48:28,834 --> 00:48:30,754
Speaker 2: when they had their first moment of like they're on

1219
00:48:30,874 --> 00:48:34,234
Speaker 2: different pages still because Alex thinks that she's all it

1220
00:48:34,314 --> 00:48:37,154
Speaker 2: and they're going to be together forever, and she kind

1221
00:48:37,154 --> 00:48:39,393
Speaker 2: of rightly almost I'm team copy on this one.

1222
00:48:39,554 --> 00:48:41,354
Speaker 3: Yeah, is like, let's just take a minute.

1223
00:48:41,434 --> 00:48:41,993
Speaker 1: This is a lot.

1224
00:48:42,594 --> 00:48:45,234
Speaker 2: A week ago, we weren't even speaking and now you're like,

1225
00:48:45,434 --> 00:48:47,154
Speaker 2: we're going to be together for over, Let's get married

1226
00:48:47,154 --> 00:48:47,674
Speaker 2: and live in a house.

1227
00:48:47,714 --> 00:48:50,953
Speaker 1: And until then we've had very separate lives and we've

1228
00:48:50,994 --> 00:48:53,514
Speaker 1: been very vocal on how we want to live the

1229
00:48:53,594 --> 00:48:55,554
Speaker 1: rest of our lives. Like he's always wanted to be

1230
00:48:55,634 --> 00:48:57,794
Speaker 1: like a homebody, like back in where he grew up

1231
00:48:58,154 --> 00:49:00,873
Speaker 1: in a house in a home, and she's always wanted

1232
00:49:00,914 --> 00:49:02,754
Speaker 1: to travel around and live in New York and do

1233
00:49:02,874 --> 00:49:04,953
Speaker 1: this job and like not be tied down to one

1234
00:49:04,994 --> 00:49:05,953
Speaker 1: single place. Yeah.

1235
00:49:06,394 --> 00:49:08,714
Speaker 2: So yeah, different things they want from each other. So

1236
00:49:08,714 --> 00:49:11,393
Speaker 2: I have that conversation. He essentially tells her that he

1237
00:49:11,434 --> 00:49:13,714
Speaker 2: can't be with her in this situation, which is when

1238
00:49:13,794 --> 00:49:15,954
Speaker 2: she flies back to New York, has the meeting with

1239
00:49:16,034 --> 00:49:18,594
Speaker 2: Sarah in the airport, where she kind of realizes and.

1240
00:49:18,674 --> 00:49:19,314
Speaker 3: Then goes back in.

1241
00:49:19,394 --> 00:49:20,834
Speaker 2: And this is kind of interesting because then she goes

1242
00:49:20,874 --> 00:49:24,513
Speaker 2: back and like changes her life, leaves her job, which

1243
00:49:24,554 --> 00:49:26,154
Speaker 2: is I do love when Jimila Jimmeil. I know that's

1244
00:49:26,154 --> 00:49:27,834
Speaker 2: not her name, but that's just what it is. Like,

1245
00:49:27,954 --> 00:49:29,794
Speaker 2: Oh no, don't worry, like a thousand people want this job.

1246
00:49:29,834 --> 00:49:31,834
Speaker 3: You can go gol, which is so true.

1247
00:49:32,354 --> 00:49:34,714
Speaker 2: And she rebuilds her life and then she flies to

1248
00:49:34,834 --> 00:49:38,393
Speaker 2: Lynnfield to tell Alex how she feels. So this is

1249
00:49:38,394 --> 00:49:40,314
Speaker 2: the last time I'll say this in the book. Okay,

1250
00:49:40,914 --> 00:49:43,514
Speaker 2: it's a kind of different situation because she goes to school.

1251
00:49:43,514 --> 00:49:45,354
Speaker 2: That's when she and Sarah have the back and forth.

1252
00:49:45,634 --> 00:49:47,794
Speaker 2: And then Sarah as her being kind of a mission

1253
00:49:47,834 --> 00:49:51,074
Speaker 2: to Poppy of like I forgive you you guys be together,

1254
00:49:51,154 --> 00:49:54,154
Speaker 2: like as in giving her blessing, tells Poppy where Alex is,

1255
00:49:54,594 --> 00:49:56,154
Speaker 2: which is at a bar across the road with some

1256
00:49:56,234 --> 00:49:59,234
Speaker 2: other teachers. So Poppy goes over there and she delivers

1257
00:49:59,274 --> 00:50:01,674
Speaker 2: that hole I love you, you are my home, You're

1258
00:50:01,714 --> 00:50:04,234
Speaker 2: my everything to him in the bar where I'm just

1259
00:50:04,274 --> 00:50:07,834
Speaker 2: assuming all the teachers are watching, so I.

1260
00:50:07,874 --> 00:50:09,754
Speaker 1: Always like, maybe they're like a public proposal.

1261
00:50:10,114 --> 00:50:12,234
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he rejects her, and she runs outside

1262
00:50:12,274 --> 00:50:13,433
Speaker 2: to cry and he chases her.

1263
00:50:14,034 --> 00:50:16,594
Speaker 3: He rejects herge He initially kinds like, I can't get

1264
00:50:16,634 --> 00:50:18,194
Speaker 3: here the embarrassment, my friend.

1265
00:50:18,354 --> 00:50:20,074
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm actually in the middle of something because

1266
00:50:20,114 --> 00:50:21,954
Speaker 2: she went to that school with her old teachers, like

1267
00:50:22,074 --> 00:50:24,873
Speaker 2: watching happening. And then she runs out to the car

1268
00:50:24,954 --> 00:50:28,314
Speaker 2: and he chases her. So he chases her, which is

1269
00:50:28,394 --> 00:50:30,794
Speaker 2: very different because in the movie she goes to his

1270
00:50:30,954 --> 00:50:31,994
Speaker 2: dead grandmother's house that he.

1271
00:50:32,034 --> 00:50:37,194
Speaker 1: Now lives in. Yeah, it's nice house in a nice house.

1272
00:50:37,234 --> 00:50:39,794
Speaker 2: Well done, buddy, and he's going for a run because

1273
00:50:39,914 --> 00:50:42,114
Speaker 2: his only personality trait is that he rings.

1274
00:50:42,794 --> 00:50:45,354
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's not far fetched from most men.

1275
00:50:45,634 --> 00:50:45,834
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1276
00:50:46,034 --> 00:50:47,794
Speaker 1: But again in the book, he's like a writer and

1277
00:50:47,874 --> 00:50:48,553
Speaker 1: he does all these others.

1278
00:50:48,554 --> 00:50:50,714
Speaker 2: He's a writer, diiction writer, that's what he wants to be,

1279
00:50:51,154 --> 00:50:53,394
Speaker 2: and he has all these letters to him and apparently

1280
00:50:53,874 --> 00:50:56,714
Speaker 2: he could write Sarah's story and he's currently very turned

1281
00:50:56,754 --> 00:50:57,513
Speaker 2: on by dying women.

1282
00:51:00,114 --> 00:51:03,154
Speaker 1: And then we have this scene where Poppy chases Alex Yeah,

1283
00:51:03,154 --> 00:51:06,314
Speaker 1: and he can't hear her because he's wearing his head pods. Yeah,

1284
00:51:06,754 --> 00:51:08,394
Speaker 1: and she's like running after him and she's.

1285
00:51:08,234 --> 00:51:11,634
Speaker 3: Like Alex, Alex Alex.

1286
00:51:11,274 --> 00:51:13,794
Speaker 1: And she's run. She doesn't even run that far, honestly, well,

1287
00:51:13,834 --> 00:51:14,393
Speaker 1: just wanting to it.

1288
00:51:14,634 --> 00:51:17,034
Speaker 2: Her whole personality trait that they're setting up towards the

1289
00:51:17,154 --> 00:51:18,473
Speaker 2: end is I don't run, I don't run.

1290
00:51:18,554 --> 00:51:20,993
Speaker 3: I don't run, And she ran and then she ran

1291
00:51:21,074 --> 00:51:22,474
Speaker 3: for him. So it's so interesting.

1292
00:51:22,474 --> 00:51:25,914
Speaker 2: I was watching an interview with Emily Beta and Emily Henry,

1293
00:51:26,194 --> 00:51:28,393
Speaker 2: and in that interview, Emily Beata is saying that in

1294
00:51:28,474 --> 00:51:30,834
Speaker 2: between takes, she just kept running around the block they

1295
00:51:30,874 --> 00:51:33,354
Speaker 2: were filming on so that she would be so out

1296
00:51:33,394 --> 00:51:35,033
Speaker 2: of breath and frantic in real life.

1297
00:51:35,394 --> 00:51:36,433
Speaker 1: That's when she gets to him.

1298
00:51:36,674 --> 00:51:38,794
Speaker 2: Her face is like naturally read and she's like puffing

1299
00:51:38,914 --> 00:51:43,714
Speaker 2: because she made herself nearly choke. But also, she said,

1300
00:51:43,794 --> 00:51:47,234
Speaker 2: it's so interesting because her whole personality she runs from everything,

1301
00:51:47,634 --> 00:51:49,754
Speaker 2: like she runs from Alex, she runs from her hometown,

1302
00:51:50,114 --> 00:51:52,314
Speaker 2: she runs from relationships, she runs from her job. And

1303
00:51:52,434 --> 00:51:54,674
Speaker 2: running to Alex. It's such a big moment because it's

1304
00:51:54,674 --> 00:51:57,474
Speaker 2: the first time that she's running towards him, and Emily

1305
00:51:57,554 --> 00:51:59,034
Speaker 2: Henry goes, oh my god, I never even thought of that.

1306
00:51:59,194 --> 00:52:01,074
Speaker 3: Yeah, because obviously she didn't write that scene.

1307
00:52:01,514 --> 00:52:02,194
Speaker 1: She's like ahead the.

1308
00:52:02,194 --> 00:52:04,594
Speaker 2: Other one, and then they have their big moment on

1309
00:52:04,674 --> 00:52:07,714
Speaker 2: the intersection, on an intersection declaring their love for each other.

1310
00:52:07,754 --> 00:52:12,154
Speaker 2: What did you think, Yeah, fine, Emily, come on, these

1311
00:52:12,154 --> 00:52:14,834
Speaker 2: are your people, Emily Henry, Emily better, Emily Verda, you

1312
00:52:14,874 --> 00:52:16,354
Speaker 2: need to come together now. I was just.

1313
00:52:18,434 --> 00:52:20,594
Speaker 1: Emily need together, and I was like, yeah, I love

1314
00:52:20,674 --> 00:52:22,714
Speaker 1: those scenes, like I love those coming together scenes, but

1315
00:52:22,834 --> 00:52:24,194
Speaker 1: like I need to know logistics.

1316
00:52:24,554 --> 00:52:26,354
Speaker 3: But we get logistics because we have the little bit

1317
00:52:26,434 --> 00:52:28,354
Speaker 3: afterwards where they're both living in New York together and

1318
00:52:28,354 --> 00:52:30,314
Speaker 3: they're happy and their home is where they are together.

1319
00:52:30,434 --> 00:52:32,154
Speaker 1: But are they living New York together? Are they going

1320
00:52:32,194 --> 00:52:32,834
Speaker 1: back and forth?

1321
00:52:33,074 --> 00:52:33,114
Speaker 2: No?

1322
00:52:33,354 --> 00:52:36,433
Speaker 1: Because he's wearing a Sarah Lawrence sweatshirt so he's got

1323
00:52:36,474 --> 00:52:41,954
Speaker 1: a job again. Maybe because then they were on the plane.

1324
00:52:42,434 --> 00:52:44,474
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they now they only that's to show that

1325
00:52:44,554 --> 00:52:46,794
Speaker 2: they have a life that they're not trying to escape from.

1326
00:52:46,954 --> 00:52:49,714
Speaker 2: And now they only take holidays as like a special treat.

1327
00:52:49,954 --> 00:52:52,354
Speaker 2: They live for their life, They don't live for their holidays.

1328
00:52:53,714 --> 00:52:55,354
Speaker 1: Well no, because you know what, do you think? Definite

1329
00:52:55,354 --> 00:52:57,594
Speaker 1: about the movie now? But now that I thought they

1330
00:52:57,634 --> 00:53:00,474
Speaker 1: were like living in between New York and Ohio, now

1331
00:53:00,514 --> 00:53:02,314
Speaker 1: they were going back and forth from Betty. So they

1332
00:53:02,434 --> 00:53:04,634
Speaker 1: live in New York, which was concerning to me because

1333
00:53:04,634 --> 00:53:06,754
Speaker 1: then I saw they had a dog, and you can't

1334
00:53:07,154 --> 00:53:08,433
Speaker 1: keep your dog's flying all the time.

1335
00:53:08,594 --> 00:53:11,114
Speaker 3: No, So does that change taste in the movie now

1336
00:53:11,154 --> 00:53:11,914
Speaker 3: that you know what's happened?

1337
00:53:11,954 --> 00:53:14,154
Speaker 1: I mean, he's always wanted to be in her Ohio.

1338
00:53:15,154 --> 00:53:16,754
Speaker 2: No, but I think he also just he that was

1339
00:53:16,754 --> 00:53:19,434
Speaker 2: also like a fear well again again the again the

1340
00:53:19,514 --> 00:53:21,194
Speaker 2: last time I say this. In the book, there's this

1341
00:53:21,274 --> 00:53:23,514
Speaker 2: whole story about him being so scared to start a

1342
00:53:23,594 --> 00:53:26,354
Speaker 2: family or have a life or be with anyone because

1343
00:53:26,394 --> 00:53:28,314
Speaker 2: his mother died in childbirth and he was also like

1344
00:53:28,394 --> 00:53:30,514
Speaker 2: locked into raising all of his brothers that he like

1345
00:53:30,634 --> 00:53:31,474
Speaker 2: has a vaseectomy.

1346
00:53:31,874 --> 00:53:33,154
Speaker 1: They skipped over that in the movie.

1347
00:53:33,314 --> 00:53:38,754
Speaker 2: Oh okay again vasectomy coming over sick people, while change

1348
00:53:39,074 --> 00:53:41,314
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff that's been left. But no, no,

1349
00:53:41,794 --> 00:53:44,594
Speaker 2: the movie ends with them finding this place where they've

1350
00:53:44,674 --> 00:53:47,033
Speaker 2: kind of come together. Of that they have a home base,

1351
00:53:47,074 --> 00:53:49,234
Speaker 2: which is what he's always wanted, and they traveled together,

1352
00:53:49,234 --> 00:53:52,434
Speaker 2: which is what she's always Okay, do you like this

1353
00:53:52,554 --> 00:53:54,074
Speaker 2: movie now that I've explained the ending to you?

1354
00:53:55,754 --> 00:53:56,314
Speaker 3: No? I like that?

1355
00:53:56,714 --> 00:53:59,034
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well they didn't they there won't any like dialogue

1356
00:53:59,034 --> 00:54:01,034
Speaker 1: in those last few scenes. What you meant to take

1357
00:54:01,074 --> 00:54:02,953
Speaker 1: it in? I don't you need to able to watch?

1358
00:54:03,154 --> 00:54:06,593
Speaker 2: This is what I mean unique subtitled what saying, Dear Emily,

1359
00:54:06,674 --> 00:54:07,554
Speaker 2: this is what's here?

1360
00:54:08,634 --> 00:54:10,954
Speaker 1: Well, that is people we meet on vacation. What a

1361
00:54:11,034 --> 00:54:11,594
Speaker 1: wild ride?

1362
00:54:11,914 --> 00:54:13,554
Speaker 3: You know what. I might watch it again, I don't know.

1363
00:54:14,154 --> 00:54:16,714
Speaker 1: I think my issue, my main issue is I think

1364
00:54:16,754 --> 00:54:18,714
Speaker 1: it's because it was the first rom com I watched

1365
00:54:18,754 --> 00:54:20,393
Speaker 1: after Heated Rivalry. Oh.

1366
00:54:20,674 --> 00:54:23,674
Speaker 3: Yeah, the difference is just two starts. Well, Heat a

1367
00:54:23,794 --> 00:54:25,714
Speaker 3: Rivalry is like a ten out of ten, and like

1368
00:54:25,794 --> 00:54:28,914
Speaker 3: you can't compare them. Yeah, But also I don't know

1369
00:54:28,954 --> 00:54:29,554
Speaker 3: if we would.

1370
00:54:29,394 --> 00:54:31,034
Speaker 2: Have had the same sort of heat of rivalry if

1371
00:54:31,074 --> 00:54:33,474
Speaker 2: we had as a movie. So I do think that

1372
00:54:33,634 --> 00:54:35,754
Speaker 2: sometimes with the series you just do get to see

1373
00:54:36,434 --> 00:54:38,834
Speaker 2: more of the relationship bill. But also there's so many

1374
00:54:38,914 --> 00:54:42,154
Speaker 2: rom coms that I've watched in my lifetime, not from

1375
00:54:42,154 --> 00:54:45,073
Speaker 2: the last decade but previously where I do one hundred

1376
00:54:45,074 --> 00:54:47,154
Speaker 2: percent believe that people are in love in the movie,

1377
00:54:47,554 --> 00:54:48,473
Speaker 2: and so it can be done.

1378
00:54:48,554 --> 00:54:49,234
Speaker 1: It can be done.

1379
00:54:49,434 --> 00:54:52,074
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, release the sex scene. Yeah, and I'll

1380
00:54:52,154 --> 00:54:54,154
Speaker 2: change my review of this movie because my review is

1381
00:54:54,194 --> 00:54:57,954
Speaker 2: the book is great and the movie's fine, but you

1382
00:54:58,034 --> 00:54:59,474
Speaker 2: put that sexy back in there and that.

1383
00:54:59,514 --> 00:55:01,594
Speaker 1: Yeah, that well scene out.

1384
00:55:01,794 --> 00:55:03,393
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, that's vibe.

1385
00:55:04,834 --> 00:55:07,554
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening to this spill today.
