WEBVTT - The Rom-Com TV Shows That Never Get Old

0:00:08.234 --> 0:00:20.073
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Amma Mia podcast from Mama Mia. Welcome

0:00:20.114 --> 0:00:23.553
<v Speaker 1>to the Spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm Concena lu.

0:00:23.514 --> 0:00:24.874
<v Speaker 2>Kid and I'm Laura Brodney.

0:00:25.114 --> 0:00:28.034
<v Speaker 1>And this summer we have curated your Spilled blaylist with

0:00:28.114 --> 0:00:31.794
<v Speaker 1>some brand new episodes and some of our absolute favorites.

0:00:31.914 --> 0:00:36.034
<v Speaker 1>So on today's episode, we're going to be diving in

0:00:36.074 --> 0:00:40.033
<v Speaker 1>to the best rom com TV shows. Now, Laura, this

0:00:40.074 --> 0:00:41.833
<v Speaker 1>is one you and I did a little bit earlier

0:00:41.873 --> 0:00:42.354
<v Speaker 1>this year.

0:00:42.913 --> 0:00:44.513
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so we did this off the back of Lena

0:00:44.553 --> 0:00:47.034
<v Speaker 2>Dunham's new rom com that came out this year too Much,

0:00:47.273 --> 0:00:50.033
<v Speaker 2>and it got us thinking about other TV rom coms

0:00:50.354 --> 0:00:52.154
<v Speaker 2>that I don't know about you, but I watch over

0:00:52.193 --> 0:00:54.273
<v Speaker 2>and over and over again. Some of them you have

0:00:54.394 --> 0:00:56.594
<v Speaker 2>heard of. I'm sure some of them you definitely have it.

0:00:56.714 --> 0:00:58.754
<v Speaker 2>But if you're looking for something to watch over the holidays,

0:00:58.794 --> 0:01:00.194
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this would be your list.

0:01:00.354 --> 0:01:02.514
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and this particular episode is one where you were

0:01:02.554 --> 0:01:05.114
<v Speaker 1>got very very upset with me with my lack of

0:01:05.314 --> 0:01:08.434
<v Speaker 1>TV show knowledge due to the fact that I didn't

0:01:08.434 --> 0:01:09.994
<v Speaker 1>know about Emily in Paris.

0:01:09.954 --> 0:01:11.634
<v Speaker 2>That you didn't know about it, you hadn't watched it.

0:01:11.634 --> 0:01:12.794
<v Speaker 2>It's a cultural hit.

0:01:13.074 --> 0:01:15.554
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was also a bit about Gilmore Girls in

0:01:15.594 --> 0:01:18.474
<v Speaker 1>here too. I really got a flogging in this episode.

0:01:18.554 --> 0:01:20.354
<v Speaker 2>I think I might have blacked that out that whole

0:01:20.394 --> 0:01:23.754
<v Speaker 2>conversation because I can't. I can't deal with girl so

0:01:23.794 --> 0:01:27.034
<v Speaker 2>disappointed and I still am. And if you're looking for

0:01:27.114 --> 0:01:29.594
<v Speaker 2>even more rom com content, we do have a brand

0:01:29.634 --> 0:01:33.474
<v Speaker 2>new episode dropping into your feeds soon about the classic

0:01:33.634 --> 0:01:37.634
<v Speaker 2>most beloved rom com couples that we are sure absolutely

0:01:37.674 --> 0:01:40.234
<v Speaker 2>broke up once the movie finished, so steaching for that.

0:01:40.314 --> 0:01:42.314
<v Speaker 1>I love this one. It's like, it's kind of like

0:01:42.714 --> 0:01:45.754
<v Speaker 1>fan fic, but for rom coms. Now. You have been

0:01:45.754 --> 0:01:49.994
<v Speaker 1>suggesting this incessantly on our channels for weeks and weeks

0:01:49.994 --> 0:01:52.754
<v Speaker 1>and weeks, and we finally had to say today, Okay, Laura,

0:01:52.834 --> 0:01:53.954
<v Speaker 1>for God's sake, will do it.

0:01:54.674 --> 0:01:54.874
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:01:54.914 --> 0:01:59.154
<v Speaker 1>This is the best romantic comedy series of all time.

0:02:00.154 --> 0:02:01.874
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give you a couple of my favorites,

0:02:01.914 --> 0:02:05.554
<v Speaker 1>which are more like more well known, and then you're

0:02:05.554 --> 0:02:07.314
<v Speaker 1>gonna give us the ones that we don't know.

0:02:07.754 --> 0:02:09.673
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and I should say before we jump into that,

0:02:09.554 --> 0:02:11.354
<v Speaker 2>So that is how we're going to do it. What

0:02:11.554 --> 0:02:15.194
<v Speaker 2>is a fun, frivolous Friday episode about love and romance

0:02:15.354 --> 0:02:16.354
<v Speaker 2>without some rules.

0:02:16.594 --> 0:02:18.634
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, rules is what I bring to know. We're about

0:02:18.674 --> 0:02:20.754
<v Speaker 1>to say, I'm about to say, Laura will now come

0:02:20.794 --> 0:02:22.074
<v Speaker 1>in with her rules.

0:02:21.794 --> 0:02:24.074
<v Speaker 2>Because this is what you want from a pop culture podcast. No,

0:02:24.114 --> 0:02:25.994
<v Speaker 2>not just to define things. So obviously we were talking

0:02:26.034 --> 0:02:29.194
<v Speaker 2>about TV romantic comedies because, as you would have heard

0:02:29.314 --> 0:02:32.154
<v Speaker 2>in our wee can Watch episode this morning, Lena Dunham's

0:02:32.154 --> 0:02:34.714
<v Speaker 2>new rom com has just come out on Netflix Too Much.

0:02:35.154 --> 0:02:37.074
<v Speaker 2>Even though it's a rom comm and a drama, Lena

0:02:37.114 --> 0:02:40.474
<v Speaker 2>Dunham said her catalyst for making the show was as

0:02:40.554 --> 0:02:43.594
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a love letter to the romantic comedies

0:02:43.714 --> 0:02:46.154
<v Speaker 2>she grew up watching in all the movies that she loved,

0:02:46.554 --> 0:02:48.874
<v Speaker 2>and so that got me thinking that we always talk

0:02:48.914 --> 0:02:53.274
<v Speaker 2>about romantic comedy movies, and obviously there's so many incredible

0:02:53.394 --> 0:02:56.394
<v Speaker 2>romantic comedy movies out there, but I feel like we

0:02:56.514 --> 0:02:59.514
<v Speaker 2>don't talk enough about romantic comedy TV shows and they

0:02:59.554 --> 0:03:02.114
<v Speaker 2>are also very, very important. So that's what we're going

0:03:02.154 --> 0:03:04.754
<v Speaker 2>to do today. So we've defined a romantic comedy TV

0:03:04.874 --> 0:03:08.754
<v Speaker 2>show as obviously something that is a that has lightness

0:03:08.794 --> 0:03:12.234
<v Speaker 2>and frothiness to it, but something where the love story

0:03:12.714 --> 0:03:15.554
<v Speaker 2>is the central driving part of the show. And it

0:03:15.674 --> 0:03:18.554
<v Speaker 2>is the end game, and you do get that love

0:03:18.594 --> 0:03:21.234
<v Speaker 2>story payoff at the end. So that is how we're

0:03:21.274 --> 0:03:23.114
<v Speaker 2>defining a romantic comedy TV show.

0:03:23.314 --> 0:03:26.034
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm going to start with one that is on

0:03:26.114 --> 0:03:28.594
<v Speaker 1>the newer side. It only came out last year on Netflix.

0:03:28.674 --> 0:03:29.394
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wants this.

0:03:29.514 --> 0:03:32.634
<v Speaker 2>Never heard of it except for the fifteen podcasts WED.

0:03:33.394 --> 0:03:34.914
<v Speaker 1>I know we've talked about it a lot, so we

0:03:34.954 --> 0:03:36.554
<v Speaker 1>don't have to go too much into it because I

0:03:36.554 --> 0:03:39.234
<v Speaker 1>know probably everyone's over it. But it would be remiss

0:03:39.274 --> 0:03:41.234
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't mention it because I think it fits

0:03:41.274 --> 0:03:41.794
<v Speaker 1>the genre.

0:03:41.994 --> 0:03:43.434
<v Speaker 2>What did you love about it? That's what we've never

0:03:43.434 --> 0:03:44.434
<v Speaker 2>talked about this before.

0:03:44.354 --> 0:03:48.314
<v Speaker 1>We haven't. I really loved the comedy. I liked the

0:03:48.354 --> 0:03:51.834
<v Speaker 1>cross cultural development of a love story that's not like

0:03:51.874 --> 0:03:56.274
<v Speaker 1>a typical love story, and something centered around religion. It's

0:03:56.314 --> 0:03:59.714
<v Speaker 1>not something that we really see very often, this agnostic

0:03:59.954 --> 0:04:04.034
<v Speaker 1>woman going for this Jewish rabbi. I just thought it

0:04:04.074 --> 0:04:06.674
<v Speaker 1>was a really interesting take. I also really liked the

0:04:06.674 --> 0:04:10.114
<v Speaker 1>sidecat like go Good. One of my favorite characters is

0:04:10.434 --> 0:04:13.634
<v Speaker 1>Sasha played by Timothy Simons. I don't know if you

0:04:13.634 --> 0:04:16.594
<v Speaker 1>ever watched Veep. Did you watch Veab? Yes, he was

0:04:16.594 --> 0:04:19.313
<v Speaker 1>in Vape. He was Jonah in Vain and it's just

0:04:19.474 --> 0:04:22.914
<v Speaker 1>he's such a great character. He's so funny. And the

0:04:22.993 --> 0:04:24.633
<v Speaker 1>new season is coming out in October.

0:04:24.873 --> 0:04:26.793
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yes, our calendars are marked.

0:04:26.953 --> 0:04:28.634
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so we don't have long to wait for season two.

0:04:28.714 --> 0:04:32.914
<v Speaker 1>But I think in terms of fitting your rules, it

0:04:32.993 --> 0:04:34.393
<v Speaker 1>really yep nails it.

0:04:34.393 --> 0:04:34.993
<v Speaker 2>It really does.

0:04:35.073 --> 0:04:37.954
<v Speaker 1>Yes. The other one that I wanted to do is

0:04:38.433 --> 0:04:41.713
<v Speaker 1>one that is a bit older. It wrapped filming in

0:04:41.834 --> 0:04:44.274
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, and it's New Girl.

0:04:44.633 --> 0:04:47.714
<v Speaker 2>My god, New Girl is just one of my ultimate

0:04:47.753 --> 0:04:50.513
<v Speaker 2>comfort watches. But I think what it doesn't get enough credit.

0:04:50.753 --> 0:04:52.914
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it does, but like the hardcore fans know that

0:04:52.953 --> 0:04:55.633
<v Speaker 2>as much as that is an incredible ensemble comedy, it's

0:04:55.674 --> 0:04:59.393
<v Speaker 2>the love story that is so perfectly done. Romantic comedy

0:04:59.393 --> 0:05:01.753
<v Speaker 2>writers dream of a love story.

0:05:01.513 --> 0:05:03.873
<v Speaker 1>Like that, and you know that there's all these stories

0:05:03.914 --> 0:05:08.513
<v Speaker 1>about so. Elizabeth Merriweather created the show and during the

0:05:08.553 --> 0:05:12.233
<v Speaker 1>early episodes, Zoey Deschanel and Jake Johnson, who played Yessca

0:05:12.274 --> 0:05:14.714
<v Speaker 1>Day and Nick Miller, weren't actually allowed to do too

0:05:14.753 --> 0:05:18.513
<v Speaker 1>many scenes together because their chemistry was too good. I

0:05:18.553 --> 0:05:20.914
<v Speaker 1>love it. I love it so much, and they just

0:05:21.034 --> 0:05:24.914
<v Speaker 1>hit it off straight away and you know, obviously a

0:05:24.914 --> 0:05:26.993
<v Speaker 1>lot of the time with these kind of sick comy shows,

0:05:27.553 --> 0:05:30.474
<v Speaker 1>that relationship develops, but it really is from the very beginning.

0:05:30.513 --> 0:05:33.954
<v Speaker 1>You can see that there is chemistry between the two films.

0:05:34.553 --> 0:05:37.993
<v Speaker 1>And again it's just so funny. It's so silly. The

0:05:38.034 --> 0:05:43.313
<v Speaker 1>guy who plays Winston Bishop like Lemonne's, Yeah, he's so funny.

0:05:43.354 --> 0:05:46.754
<v Speaker 1>Like as he grows it gets quirkier. But my favorite

0:05:46.794 --> 0:05:52.514
<v Speaker 1>is definitely Schmidt Max Greenfield. Just how during the pandemic

0:05:52.513 --> 0:05:55.513
<v Speaker 1>with his daughter those funny TikTok He is hilarious.

0:05:55.513 --> 0:05:57.393
<v Speaker 2>I loved him in Running Point as well recently, but

0:05:57.433 --> 0:05:59.073
<v Speaker 2>I just I just will find him like the hottest

0:05:59.073 --> 0:06:02.354
<v Speaker 2>man ever. Also, Veronica Mars fans know him as Leo,

0:06:02.714 --> 0:06:04.313
<v Speaker 2>but he is so good at that show.

0:06:04.393 --> 0:06:07.354
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, he was gonna quick acting before he did this, I.

0:06:07.313 --> 0:06:09.313
<v Speaker 2>Know, and this is the role that really gave him

0:06:09.393 --> 0:06:10.433
<v Speaker 2>his new stardom.

0:06:10.873 --> 0:06:13.553
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, my favorite like bit that they do throughout

0:06:13.594 --> 0:06:15.394
<v Speaker 1>the series, and it's not part of the love story,

0:06:15.433 --> 0:06:17.433
<v Speaker 1>but I'm a bit of a comedy fan. Yeah, my

0:06:17.474 --> 0:06:19.514
<v Speaker 1>favorite bit that they do is the douchebag job.

0:06:19.953 --> 0:06:22.113
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, and how they stomp it at the

0:06:22.154 --> 0:06:25.153
<v Speaker 2>wedding it's so funny. Damn it.

0:06:25.234 --> 0:06:28.674
<v Speaker 1>I can't find my driving moccasins anywhere all the way.

0:06:28.674 --> 0:06:32.794
<v Speaker 2>He says, you's youth everywhere? Are you? I quote shimd

0:06:32.794 --> 0:06:34.274
<v Speaker 2>a lot, which doesn't really fit in with my day

0:06:34.313 --> 0:06:37.193
<v Speaker 2>to day life. I quote you weird. So it's just

0:06:37.234 --> 0:06:41.073
<v Speaker 2>he've got a quote for everything, or at least weird.

0:06:41.873 --> 0:06:45.834
<v Speaker 1>He's so funny. Anyway, That is kind of my favorite.

0:06:45.873 --> 0:06:48.394
<v Speaker 1>That's on Disney Plus now you can watch all seasons.

0:06:48.433 --> 0:06:50.313
<v Speaker 2>And it's such a good rewatch too. We watch it

0:06:50.313 --> 0:06:52.273
<v Speaker 2>every couple of years. It really holds up.

0:06:52.354 --> 0:06:55.354
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a great rewatch. It's just fun. It's cozy,

0:06:55.474 --> 0:06:56.074
<v Speaker 1>it's easy.

0:06:56.513 --> 0:06:56.674
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:06:56.674 --> 0:07:00.073
<v Speaker 1>The last one is a really obvious one. But I

0:07:00.113 --> 0:07:04.074
<v Speaker 1>have a confession. I've never seen it. It's Emily in Paris.

0:07:03.794 --> 0:07:06.193
<v Speaker 2>Get out of here. Well you know what I'd rather

0:07:06.274 --> 0:07:09.593
<v Speaker 2>you say I haven't seen it, then say it's bad,

0:07:10.074 --> 0:07:12.754
<v Speaker 2>I hate it or I don't understand it. For those

0:07:12.794 --> 0:07:15.273
<v Speaker 2>people who say I don't understand it, what is there

0:07:15.274 --> 0:07:18.354
<v Speaker 2>to understand, it's a pretty basic plot point and a

0:07:18.354 --> 0:07:21.634
<v Speaker 2>pretty basic promise anyway. Obviously, I really love Italy in Paris,

0:07:21.674 --> 0:07:23.273
<v Speaker 2>not even in it. I don't hate watch anything I

0:07:23.314 --> 0:07:25.514
<v Speaker 2>only love watch. So I really like it and you

0:07:25.514 --> 0:07:26.673
<v Speaker 2>can continue. What's it about?

0:07:26.794 --> 0:07:28.994
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So this is, like I guess, it's about a

0:07:29.034 --> 0:07:29.994
<v Speaker 1>girl who's.

0:07:31.194 --> 0:07:32.713
<v Speaker 2>Actually what you think it's about.

0:07:32.714 --> 0:07:36.074
<v Speaker 1>Okay. She's a marketing chick in I'm guessing New York,

0:07:36.234 --> 0:07:39.593
<v Speaker 1>Chicago probably, yeah, Chicago. And then she flies over to

0:07:39.634 --> 0:07:41.194
<v Speaker 1>Paris because she gets a job over there.

0:07:41.794 --> 0:07:43.554
<v Speaker 2>She's transferred by her company yep.

0:07:43.434 --> 0:07:46.593
<v Speaker 1>Okay, because they wanted to have like an American lens on,

0:07:46.874 --> 0:07:49.473
<v Speaker 1>like the Perisian life. Yeah, she goes over there, and

0:07:49.514 --> 0:07:52.714
<v Speaker 1>then she meets downstairs from her house is a really

0:07:52.714 --> 0:07:56.114
<v Speaker 1>hot guy and he's French. She's in ridiculous outfits and

0:07:56.434 --> 0:08:01.114
<v Speaker 1>high hills and it's very glamorous. Yes, yeah, that's it.

0:08:01.234 --> 0:08:02.074
<v Speaker 1>That's the story.

0:08:02.474 --> 0:08:04.913
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is kind of the story part. That's

0:08:05.034 --> 0:08:07.793
<v Speaker 2>what it's meant to be. Like, I just find Emily

0:08:07.794 --> 0:08:10.474
<v Speaker 2>and Paris is just so beautiful to watch. It does

0:08:10.754 --> 0:08:14.434
<v Speaker 2>really pre I think you would really like it, Like, yes,

0:08:14.754 --> 0:08:17.273
<v Speaker 2>there's some silliness to it, but it's meant to be

0:08:17.314 --> 0:08:19.874
<v Speaker 2>a silly caper. It's also not meant to be for

0:08:19.914 --> 0:08:21.834
<v Speaker 2>French people. They would never watch it. I think most

0:08:21.834 --> 0:08:24.153
<v Speaker 2>of them don't even know it exists. It's for the

0:08:24.194 --> 0:08:25.194
<v Speaker 2>basic girls like us.

0:08:25.314 --> 0:08:28.273
<v Speaker 1>No, but I love Paris and I pride myself on

0:08:28.354 --> 0:08:29.234
<v Speaker 1>being very Prosian.

0:08:29.554 --> 0:08:35.114
<v Speaker 2>No wit okay, no, no, you can love Paris. Also,

0:08:35.594 --> 0:08:38.954
<v Speaker 2>her version of Paris is obviously like an American idealized

0:08:38.994 --> 0:08:42.514
<v Speaker 2>fantasy to an extent. But whenever I go to Paris,

0:08:42.514 --> 0:08:44.634
<v Speaker 2>I don't think of Emily in Paris like they're two

0:08:44.714 --> 0:08:46.634
<v Speaker 2>kinds of stepend things, except for the fact that she

0:08:46.714 --> 0:08:49.154
<v Speaker 2>goes around to a lot of the very touristy sides

0:08:49.194 --> 0:08:51.634
<v Speaker 2>and loves them. And I also feel that's what you

0:08:51.714 --> 0:08:53.354
<v Speaker 2>do when you go to Paris for the first time,

0:08:53.394 --> 0:08:55.114
<v Speaker 2>and there's no shame in that. There's no shame in

0:08:55.154 --> 0:08:58.114
<v Speaker 2>seeing the Eiffel Tower or the Louver or something and

0:08:58.154 --> 0:09:01.194
<v Speaker 2>getting excited, because that's fine when you see that for

0:09:01.234 --> 0:09:03.674
<v Speaker 2>the first time, you should be excited. Otherwise you're dead inside.

0:09:03.874 --> 0:09:06.834
<v Speaker 2>Do There's a thing called Paris syndrome where people go

0:09:06.874 --> 0:09:09.434
<v Speaker 2>to Paris with such high expectations and when they go

0:09:09.554 --> 0:09:12.194
<v Speaker 2>outside of some of the city centers and they see

0:09:12.354 --> 0:09:14.354
<v Speaker 2>the rubbish and they see the normal houses, people have

0:09:14.394 --> 0:09:18.234
<v Speaker 2>been hospitalized over Paris. That's a true act. Over Paris syndrome.

0:09:18.274 --> 0:09:21.354
<v Speaker 2>Because the shock and the disappointment of this world that

0:09:21.354 --> 0:09:22.954
<v Speaker 2>they built up is not there anymore.

0:09:22.954 --> 0:09:25.314
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding? Paris is my favorite city. I love

0:09:25.354 --> 0:09:26.354
<v Speaker 1>Paris so much so.

0:09:26.434 --> 0:09:27.994
<v Speaker 2>Paris is also I mean, I know it's one of

0:09:27.994 --> 0:09:29.634
<v Speaker 2>my favorite city street no one's ever said that before,

0:09:29.754 --> 0:09:31.314
<v Speaker 2>But I guess there are parts of it that don't

0:09:31.314 --> 0:09:32.074
<v Speaker 2>look like Paris.

0:09:32.194 --> 0:09:34.354
<v Speaker 1>Well. I think if you're going look outskirts of Paris

0:09:34.474 --> 0:09:36.954
<v Speaker 1>is very different to being in like where the Shaws is,

0:09:37.074 --> 0:09:40.794
<v Speaker 1>and it's like very bougie and expensive. Obviously, if you're

0:09:40.794 --> 0:09:45.354
<v Speaker 1>going into the you know, outer our endorsements, it's a

0:09:45.354 --> 0:09:47.754
<v Speaker 1>bit different, you know. I think it's a point of

0:09:47.794 --> 0:09:51.274
<v Speaker 1>pride for me that I haven't seen it because twenty

0:09:51.594 --> 0:09:54.034
<v Speaker 1>to twenty twenty five it's had so much hype and

0:09:54.194 --> 0:09:56.874
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I've gone this long without watching it, I.

0:09:56.834 --> 0:10:00.434
<v Speaker 2>Can't start now. I unders no, I don't understand that

0:10:00.474 --> 0:10:02.634
<v Speaker 2>at all. I just think that if you want to

0:10:02.674 --> 0:10:07.034
<v Speaker 2>watch it and it's this lovely, frothy, romantic comedy esque

0:10:07.114 --> 0:10:09.394
<v Speaker 2>TV show, you should just watch it. That's not that

0:10:09.474 --> 0:10:11.114
<v Speaker 2>if I'm like, that's not the thing to kind of

0:10:11.114 --> 0:10:13.034
<v Speaker 2>get hung up on, is all I would say. Some

0:10:13.074 --> 0:10:15.474
<v Speaker 2>people don't like it because I think it's silly, and like, yes,

0:10:15.514 --> 0:10:17.634
<v Speaker 2>it is silly. It's also not meant to be a drama.

0:10:17.754 --> 0:10:21.594
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind silly. I like like feel good silly.

0:10:21.714 --> 0:10:23.674
<v Speaker 2>It's my favorite. I'm really being on having like very

0:10:23.714 --> 0:10:26.154
<v Speaker 2>kind of soothing TV shows, especially that I watch like

0:10:26.194 --> 0:10:28.194
<v Speaker 2>Saturday and Sunday morning. I've got a band. None of

0:10:28.234 --> 0:10:29.674
<v Speaker 2>my friends are allowed to ask me to brunch of

0:10:29.674 --> 0:10:31.714
<v Speaker 2>breakfast anymore, call me, talk to me, go near me,

0:10:31.914 --> 0:10:34.234
<v Speaker 2>because that is my calm time where I wake up

0:10:34.274 --> 0:10:35.634
<v Speaker 2>whatever time I want, and I go out too my

0:10:35.674 --> 0:10:37.914
<v Speaker 2>living room and I have all my bunches of fresh flowers,

0:10:38.154 --> 0:10:39.994
<v Speaker 2>light my candles. I know you have children?

0:10:40.074 --> 0:10:41.074
<v Speaker 1>How to do this so much?

0:10:41.114 --> 0:10:43.354
<v Speaker 2>Laura, Well one day you come visit me.

0:10:43.514 --> 0:10:46.114
<v Speaker 1>Can I had kids like you know?

0:10:46.754 --> 0:10:48.874
<v Speaker 2>Well, this will come back around different seasons for different

0:10:48.914 --> 0:10:50.754
<v Speaker 2>parts of life, and I'll make my beautiful coffee and

0:10:50.794 --> 0:10:52.714
<v Speaker 2>I all I want to do then is watch something

0:10:52.914 --> 0:10:56.234
<v Speaker 2>very soothing that's beautiful and that just like looks lovely

0:10:56.234 --> 0:10:58.954
<v Speaker 2>on screen. And Emily in Paris is really that show.

0:10:59.034 --> 0:11:02.874
<v Speaker 2>And also there are some great performances in there from

0:11:03.194 --> 0:11:06.034
<v Speaker 2>Lily Colin, who players Emily Cooper does the part that

0:11:06.034 --> 0:11:07.874
<v Speaker 2>she's meant to play like she does that fine, but

0:11:07.994 --> 0:11:09.634
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the side characters, all the people who

0:11:09.714 --> 0:11:14.754
<v Speaker 2>work in the French office, Sylvie incredible, Mindy incredible. Like,

0:11:14.794 --> 0:11:16.354
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot to watch it.

0:11:16.674 --> 0:11:19.634
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So, now that we've gone through some of the

0:11:19.834 --> 0:11:22.994
<v Speaker 1>obvious choices, do you want to take us through some

0:11:23.034 --> 0:11:25.914
<v Speaker 1>of the ones that we most likely haven't seen?

0:11:26.354 --> 0:11:29.394
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Yes, this is the moment I have been waiting for. Okay.

0:11:29.634 --> 0:11:31.314
<v Speaker 2>So the first one I wanted to bring up is

0:11:31.314 --> 0:11:33.994
<v Speaker 2>a show that I absolutely fell in love with when

0:11:33.994 --> 0:11:37.674
<v Speaker 2>it came out back in twenty and nineteen. And it's

0:11:37.674 --> 0:11:41.474
<v Speaker 2>a really beautiful rom com series called Four Weddings and

0:11:41.514 --> 0:11:46.314
<v Speaker 2>a Funeral, like the Yeah Grant movie. Yeah, like the

0:11:46.434 --> 0:11:48.674
<v Speaker 2>very very famous movie Hugh Grants. I know you're gonna say,

0:11:48.674 --> 0:11:51.874
<v Speaker 2>but Laura, that's a movie. Well, Mindy Kayling, Mindy Kaling.

0:11:52.154 --> 0:11:54.114
<v Speaker 2>It's like I'm on the defensive today. I'm like, no

0:11:54.114 --> 0:11:56.354
<v Speaker 2>one saying you think about rom comms. Mindy Kayling, one

0:11:56.394 --> 0:12:00.554
<v Speaker 2>of my very favorite TV actresses. Writers creators adapted the movie,

0:12:01.034 --> 0:12:03.474
<v Speaker 2>which was originally written by Richard Curtis, who, if you

0:12:03.514 --> 0:12:06.114
<v Speaker 2>look up that band's name, has written every big rom

0:12:06.114 --> 0:12:08.674
<v Speaker 2>com that we love. Here's the Godfather of rom Comms.

0:12:08.874 --> 0:12:11.594
<v Speaker 2>Mindy Kayling loves rom comms and she loved that movie,

0:12:11.634 --> 0:12:14.314
<v Speaker 2>and so she adapted into a TV series where the

0:12:14.354 --> 0:12:17.154
<v Speaker 2>overall premise is very the same, but it's different in

0:12:17.194 --> 0:12:19.354
<v Speaker 2>terms of like she switched the characters, and one of

0:12:19.354 --> 0:12:22.034
<v Speaker 2>the big switches is that there is now a female lead.

0:12:22.354 --> 0:12:25.594
<v Speaker 2>It's Natalie Emmanuel, who people would know from Game of Thrones,

0:12:25.674 --> 0:12:29.074
<v Speaker 2>Fast and Furious, that really hot vampire movie The Invitation.

0:12:29.634 --> 0:12:32.154
<v Speaker 2>She plays our league girl Maya, and she's an American,

0:12:32.154 --> 0:12:34.354
<v Speaker 2>but she ends up moving to London where her college

0:12:34.354 --> 0:12:36.794
<v Speaker 2>friends are, and it tells the story of these four

0:12:36.834 --> 0:12:40.994
<v Speaker 2>American friends, Maya, Craig, Ainslie and Duffy, and they reunite

0:12:40.994 --> 0:12:44.314
<v Speaker 2>for this very fabulous London wedding. Something happens, and then

0:12:44.354 --> 0:12:46.634
<v Speaker 2>it follows them over their lives of the next year

0:12:47.114 --> 0:12:49.634
<v Speaker 2>that tell all of their different love stories. And it's

0:12:49.634 --> 0:12:51.954
<v Speaker 2>just this beautiful, like if you just want to watch

0:12:52.074 --> 0:12:56.394
<v Speaker 2>something like really frothy and lovely with incredible dialogue that's

0:12:56.394 --> 0:12:58.674
<v Speaker 2>set in London, and it is really beautiful to watch.

0:12:58.714 --> 0:13:01.834
<v Speaker 2>The performances are so good. Mindy Kayling's script is like

0:13:02.074 --> 0:13:03.914
<v Speaker 2>ten out of ten and like, you don't have to

0:13:03.914 --> 0:13:06.354
<v Speaker 2>have seen Four Weddings in a Funeral, although you should watch.

0:13:06.354 --> 0:13:08.794
<v Speaker 1>That's right, what's it streaming on?

0:13:08.994 --> 0:13:11.034
<v Speaker 2>It's on Prime Video now. It wasn't when it came out,

0:13:11.074 --> 0:13:12.714
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, it came out so many years ago, and

0:13:12.794 --> 0:13:15.194
<v Speaker 2>anytime people messaged me because I had so many message

0:13:15.274 --> 0:13:17.594
<v Speaker 2>mostly from spillers on Instagram being like, oh my god,

0:13:17.634 --> 0:13:19.874
<v Speaker 2>laur it's Saturday and I need something to watch, and

0:13:19.914 --> 0:13:21.914
<v Speaker 2>they always want like often like it's just an easy

0:13:21.954 --> 0:13:24.274
<v Speaker 2>to watch TV show, and Four Wings in a Funeral

0:13:24.274 --> 0:13:26.594
<v Speaker 2>of the TV series is always top of my list

0:13:26.594 --> 0:13:28.434
<v Speaker 2>to send because I just know so many people haven't

0:13:28.434 --> 0:13:31.634
<v Speaker 2>watched it. So it's on Prime video so worth watching.

0:13:33.074 --> 0:13:35.114
<v Speaker 2>The next one I wanted to recommend, since we're talking

0:13:35.154 --> 0:13:38.554
<v Speaker 2>about Mindy Kaling, is the MINDI Project. Have you seen it?

0:13:38.594 --> 0:13:40.954
<v Speaker 1>I have seen it, Oh my god, so much.

0:13:40.994 --> 0:13:41.554
<v Speaker 2>You've seen it?

0:13:41.634 --> 0:13:44.354
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you've only seen a couple of episodes. I have

0:13:44.474 --> 0:13:46.834
<v Speaker 1>not like super deep into us, but I do love

0:13:46.874 --> 0:13:49.554
<v Speaker 1>her finding out her whole history on the office and

0:13:49.554 --> 0:13:51.754
<v Speaker 1>how she's a writer with bj Novak and like that

0:13:52.434 --> 0:13:56.354
<v Speaker 1>her whole law is so great. She is incredible and

0:13:56.394 --> 0:13:58.874
<v Speaker 1>she's so funny in the office and I love I

0:13:58.954 --> 0:14:01.114
<v Speaker 1>do really like the MINDI Project. I just I don't

0:14:01.114 --> 0:14:03.154
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of time. This is the great thing

0:14:03.154 --> 0:14:05.114
<v Speaker 1>about working with you is I just put all of

0:14:05.154 --> 0:14:08.314
<v Speaker 1>these things in my mind. Yeah, and one day you

0:14:08.394 --> 0:14:10.994
<v Speaker 1>book a mind box yeah, also known as brain yeah,

0:14:11.074 --> 0:14:11.594
<v Speaker 1>but for you.

0:14:11.554 --> 0:14:12.234
<v Speaker 2>It's a mind box.

0:14:12.354 --> 0:14:13.554
<v Speaker 1>Today it's a mind box.

0:14:14.354 --> 0:14:17.634
<v Speaker 2>So the MINDI Project, yes, it was created, written and

0:14:17.754 --> 0:14:20.994
<v Speaker 2>starring Mindy Kayling. And again I don't say this slightly.

0:14:21.114 --> 0:14:23.354
<v Speaker 2>It is one of the funniest TV shows I have

0:14:23.474 --> 0:14:26.434
<v Speaker 2>ever seen. But also it's very romantic comedy centered. So

0:14:26.754 --> 0:14:31.114
<v Speaker 2>Mindy Kayling grew up loving romantic comedies, but she always

0:14:31.114 --> 0:14:32.754
<v Speaker 2>thought there was no one who looks like her as

0:14:32.794 --> 0:14:35.834
<v Speaker 2>a woman of Indian descent on these shows or movies

0:14:35.914 --> 0:14:37.634
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. So that was her goal to

0:14:37.714 --> 0:14:41.074
<v Speaker 2>write a rom com where she could play the lead character,

0:14:41.114 --> 0:14:43.314
<v Speaker 2>and she could live in the beautiful New York apartment,

0:14:43.354 --> 0:14:45.834
<v Speaker 2>and she could wear the beautiful clothes, and she could

0:14:45.914 --> 0:14:48.714
<v Speaker 2>run through the streets and have these wild romantic escapades

0:14:48.714 --> 0:14:50.554
<v Speaker 2>with men. So it is that, but it's also a

0:14:50.594 --> 0:14:52.834
<v Speaker 2>bit of a send up of those tropes. What's also

0:14:52.874 --> 0:14:55.754
<v Speaker 2>interesting is she plays a doctor because she made her

0:14:55.834 --> 0:14:58.554
<v Speaker 2>character just like a little bit insufferable in the funniest

0:14:58.554 --> 0:15:00.834
<v Speaker 2>way possible, and a little bit of a diva and

0:15:00.874 --> 0:15:03.074
<v Speaker 2>a little bit just like ridiculous. But then she's also

0:15:03.114 --> 0:15:04.834
<v Speaker 2>a doctor so that you like her a little bit.

0:15:05.034 --> 0:15:07.914
<v Speaker 2>So it has all these incredible rom comm tropes to it.

0:15:07.914 --> 0:15:09.954
<v Speaker 2>It's very funny. But what I love is at the

0:15:10.034 --> 0:15:13.714
<v Speaker 2>central relationship between her and Danny, who's another doctor at

0:15:13.714 --> 0:15:17.074
<v Speaker 2>her practice, is based on the love story of Pride

0:15:17.114 --> 0:15:20.194
<v Speaker 2>and Prejudice. So it's based on like him being this

0:15:20.394 --> 0:15:25.034
<v Speaker 2>very gruff, unattainable person who like originally really doesn't like

0:15:25.034 --> 0:15:28.634
<v Speaker 2>her and things. Yeah, and then and then their relationship

0:15:28.754 --> 0:15:31.794
<v Speaker 2>really evolved. And again not to spoil it, but like

0:15:32.034 --> 0:15:33.434
<v Speaker 2>you know how like when you're watching a couple get

0:15:33.434 --> 0:15:35.354
<v Speaker 2>together and like you can tell it's gonna happen, and

0:15:35.354 --> 0:15:36.434
<v Speaker 2>it's building, and it's building.

0:15:36.474 --> 0:15:40.554
<v Speaker 1>We building like a hate to love story lovers hate

0:15:40.634 --> 0:15:42.994
<v Speaker 1>us to love it trop trope.

0:15:43.114 --> 0:15:45.394
<v Speaker 2>So good and like the build up and the moment

0:15:45.394 --> 0:15:47.474
<v Speaker 2>they actually get together is so worth the hype. So

0:15:47.634 --> 0:15:49.714
<v Speaker 2>the MINDI Project, you can watch it on Prime Video

0:15:49.874 --> 0:15:51.034
<v Speaker 2>if you haven't seen it.

0:15:51.034 --> 0:15:53.794
<v Speaker 1>It's got six seasons as well. You can really like

0:15:53.914 --> 0:15:54.834
<v Speaker 1>get into it.

0:15:54.834 --> 0:15:57.754
<v Speaker 2>It could have been fifteen, would have watched it? Okay.

0:15:57.754 --> 0:16:00.354
<v Speaker 2>Another one I wanted to chat about was an Austrange show.

0:16:00.434 --> 0:16:03.274
<v Speaker 2>Actually that has two seasons out on Binge. I don't

0:16:03.314 --> 0:16:06.154
<v Speaker 2>know if you've watched this one, Colin from Accounts.

0:16:06.114 --> 0:16:08.434
<v Speaker 1>No, I haven't, but I should because I always see

0:16:08.474 --> 0:16:10.594
<v Speaker 1>clips of it and I feel like it's really.

0:16:10.354 --> 0:16:14.994
<v Speaker 2>Good, so freakin' funny. So it's written, created, directed, starring

0:16:15.234 --> 0:16:17.234
<v Speaker 2>Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammle, who.

0:16:17.674 --> 0:16:19.914
<v Speaker 1>I love Harriet Dyer interviewed her a few times and

0:16:19.954 --> 0:16:23.794
<v Speaker 1>she's amazing, Yes, and she's incredible. Patrick Brammel is also

0:16:23.914 --> 0:16:28.314
<v Speaker 1>so funny. So I should watch this because did you

0:16:28.314 --> 0:16:30.514
<v Speaker 1>ever watch the one with Matt.

0:16:30.554 --> 0:16:31.474
<v Speaker 2>Oh the Wrong Guy?

0:16:31.714 --> 0:16:31.954
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:16:32.274 --> 0:16:36.634
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she plays Stevie and that she's so funny. Yeah,

0:16:36.674 --> 0:16:39.514
<v Speaker 2>she's an incredible comedy actress. We're both from Townsville, so

0:16:39.634 --> 0:16:43.074
<v Speaker 2>you know connected. So in this show Colin from Accounts,

0:16:43.114 --> 0:16:45.714
<v Speaker 2>so yes, Patrick and Harriet together in real life. They

0:16:45.714 --> 0:16:49.794
<v Speaker 2>created the show together, and in it, Harriet plays called Ashley,

0:16:50.074 --> 0:16:52.474
<v Speaker 2>Patrick plays a man called Gordon, and they have this

0:16:52.594 --> 0:16:55.794
<v Speaker 2>incredible meat cute. So a meet cute is the moment

0:16:55.834 --> 0:16:59.034
<v Speaker 2>in the movie of how your two romantic leads will

0:16:59.074 --> 0:17:01.954
<v Speaker 2>meet and fall in love, So Colin from Accounts is

0:17:01.954 --> 0:17:04.434
<v Speaker 2>about that, but also what happens when it goes terribly wrong.

0:17:04.714 --> 0:17:07.513
<v Speaker 2>So in this you've got Gordon. He's driving his car along.

0:17:07.834 --> 0:17:11.073
<v Speaker 2>Harriet Dyer's character Ashley walks out in front of him

0:17:11.114 --> 0:17:13.714
<v Speaker 2>across the road and she sees him. They make eye contact.

0:17:13.834 --> 0:17:15.474
<v Speaker 2>It's a little bit cute and sexy, and then she

0:17:15.674 --> 0:17:18.553
<v Speaker 2>just flashes a boob, just a casual flash of the boob,

0:17:18.954 --> 0:17:20.513
<v Speaker 2>just to be a bit saucy and fun. And he

0:17:20.594 --> 0:17:23.514
<v Speaker 2>sees her and he gets so distracted that he runs

0:17:23.554 --> 0:17:26.394
<v Speaker 2>his car off the road and smashes into a dog, okay,

0:17:26.434 --> 0:17:28.714
<v Speaker 2>which terrifies them both, and so they both take this

0:17:28.794 --> 0:17:31.434
<v Speaker 2>dog to a clinic. His back legs are broken into

0:17:31.514 --> 0:17:33.634
<v Speaker 2>being one of those little dog wheely things. At the

0:17:33.674 --> 0:17:35.914
<v Speaker 2>premiere they had a dog and he wasn't the wheelly thing,

0:17:35.954 --> 0:17:37.794
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, that's probably a good thing, because that

0:17:37.794 --> 0:17:40.394
<v Speaker 2>would have been very stressful for him. And then they

0:17:40.474 --> 0:17:42.354
<v Speaker 2>kind of have to come together to look after this dog,

0:17:42.714 --> 0:17:44.514
<v Speaker 2>and as they do that, they start to fall in love.

0:17:44.994 --> 0:17:47.594
<v Speaker 2>And it's just like such a funny. It's so Australian. Obviously,

0:17:47.594 --> 0:17:50.634
<v Speaker 2>because it's a strange show, but it's just so quintessentially Australian,

0:17:50.794 --> 0:17:53.394
<v Speaker 2>so funny. Their chemistry is amazing, obviously because they're married

0:17:53.434 --> 0:17:56.354
<v Speaker 2>with children, but it is again one of those shows

0:17:56.354 --> 0:17:57.914
<v Speaker 2>that I watch it and I just sit in my

0:17:57.954 --> 0:18:01.034
<v Speaker 2>apartment laughing out loud. But it's also really cute watching

0:18:01.114 --> 0:18:01.914
<v Speaker 2>them fall in love.

0:18:02.114 --> 0:18:04.034
<v Speaker 1>I mean, too great Aussie, because I actually really love

0:18:04.074 --> 0:18:05.634
<v Speaker 1>that you put an Aussie show in there.

0:18:06.114 --> 0:18:08.634
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like it's really defined what a really

0:18:08.714 --> 0:18:12.074
<v Speaker 2>modern rom com can be. So there's two seasons out

0:18:12.114 --> 0:18:14.874
<v Speaker 2>now they're on Binge. I would watch ten more seasons

0:18:14.874 --> 0:18:18.394
<v Speaker 2>of this show. Okay. The other one I wanted to do, Sorry,

0:18:18.394 --> 0:18:21.114
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this is just me, like this is the.

0:18:21.154 --> 0:18:24.234
<v Speaker 1>Laura show now, because Laura, you're so good at this stuff.

0:18:24.234 --> 0:18:26.513
<v Speaker 1>I just love defic I know you do, and I

0:18:26.554 --> 0:18:30.994
<v Speaker 1>love TV two, but you like always have the best recommendations.

0:18:31.154 --> 0:18:32.754
<v Speaker 2>I mean. The other thing is like it is my job,

0:18:32.794 --> 0:18:34.794
<v Speaker 2>so I have an extra incentive to do this, as

0:18:34.794 --> 0:18:37.273
<v Speaker 2>in it does keep my electricity on and food on

0:18:37.274 --> 0:18:40.313
<v Speaker 2>my table. So on that note, the other one I

0:18:40.314 --> 0:18:43.394
<v Speaker 2>wanted to bring up is Modern Love, which is actually

0:18:43.394 --> 0:18:46.114
<v Speaker 2>a romantic comedy anthology I don't know if you've seen

0:18:46.114 --> 0:18:49.034
<v Speaker 2>this one. It actually came out back in twenty nineteen.

0:18:49.114 --> 0:18:52.513
<v Speaker 2>There's two seasons and so it's an anthology series, so

0:18:52.674 --> 0:18:55.874
<v Speaker 2>every episode is its own contained story, which I think

0:18:55.954 --> 0:18:57.754
<v Speaker 2>is also great, especially even have a lot of time,

0:18:57.794 --> 0:19:00.394
<v Speaker 2>because you could sit down and watch one half an

0:19:00.394 --> 0:19:03.634
<v Speaker 2>hour episode once a week and it's its own contending story.

0:19:03.954 --> 0:19:05.874
<v Speaker 1>And it is kind of like Black Mirror.

0:19:06.114 --> 0:19:08.674
<v Speaker 2>It's exactly, it's one hundred percent. That's what it is.

0:19:08.714 --> 0:19:11.314
<v Speaker 2>It's Black Mirror from rom com. So Black Ara freaks

0:19:11.354 --> 0:19:13.994
<v Speaker 2>you out. Go and watch More in Love because it's

0:19:14.074 --> 0:19:18.194
<v Speaker 2>just sweet and lovely. It's mostly romantic love stories, but

0:19:18.434 --> 0:19:21.314
<v Speaker 2>there is platonic love, family love. There's even a really

0:19:21.314 --> 0:19:23.513
<v Speaker 2>lovely episode about a woman and her doorman who kind

0:19:23.554 --> 0:19:25.674
<v Speaker 2>of sees her through all these big moments of her

0:19:25.714 --> 0:19:27.434
<v Speaker 2>life when she becomes a single mum. I know, I

0:19:27.434 --> 0:19:30.114
<v Speaker 2>cry so much. It's got an incredible cast of stars,

0:19:30.114 --> 0:19:32.754
<v Speaker 2>so each episode has its own cast. Wow and some

0:19:32.994 --> 0:19:37.634
<v Speaker 2>Yeah Deeltels, the hot Anne Hathaway, Dev Purtel is so

0:19:37.674 --> 0:19:40.674
<v Speaker 2>good at this tiny Yeah Tina fe is incredible. An

0:19:40.674 --> 0:19:44.474
<v Speaker 2>Hathaway's episode made me sob and a papquin Andrew scott'son

0:19:44.474 --> 0:19:47.474
<v Speaker 2>an episode Mini Driver. It's just so incredible. And what

0:19:47.514 --> 0:19:50.114
<v Speaker 2>it actually is is it's based off the Modern Love

0:19:50.234 --> 0:19:52.674
<v Speaker 2>column in the New York Times, which is a very

0:19:52.754 --> 0:19:54.914
<v Speaker 2>very famous column. It has been going for many, many years.

0:19:54.994 --> 0:19:57.114
<v Speaker 2>I read it online a lot, and it's a weekly

0:19:57.194 --> 0:20:00.234
<v Speaker 2>series where they publish all these personal essays about love

0:20:00.714 --> 0:20:04.954
<v Speaker 2>and relationships. And it's just real people's stories that feature

0:20:05.474 --> 0:20:08.114
<v Speaker 2>in this column, and it's so beautifully done. It just

0:20:08.154 --> 0:20:10.513
<v Speaker 2>tells all these little pockets of life. And over the

0:20:10.594 --> 0:20:12.954
<v Speaker 2>years it's become really famous and there's podcasts about it.

0:20:12.994 --> 0:20:15.553
<v Speaker 2>Now that's this TV show. So every episode of Modern

0:20:15.594 --> 0:20:19.114
<v Speaker 2>Love is based on real life people, on these people

0:20:19.114 --> 0:20:20.714
<v Speaker 2>whose stories appeared in this column.

0:20:20.834 --> 0:20:24.074
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it wild? How like twenty nineteen it came out,

0:20:24.474 --> 0:20:26.154
<v Speaker 1>this is not really well known.

0:20:26.354 --> 0:20:27.954
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Oh, I feel like it was very buzzy at

0:20:27.994 --> 0:20:29.994
<v Speaker 2>the time. But I feel like, and especially because that

0:20:30.114 --> 0:20:31.874
<v Speaker 2>like the first season had a lot of big names

0:20:31.914 --> 0:20:34.793
<v Speaker 2>and the second season came out quite quickly afterwards. But

0:20:34.874 --> 0:20:36.674
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like it's one of those shows like

0:20:36.714 --> 0:20:38.674
<v Speaker 2>Four Wings and Funeral where there was a hit of

0:20:38.674 --> 0:20:41.754
<v Speaker 2>buzz and I feel like it's really fallen off people's Radars. Yeah,

0:20:41.794 --> 0:20:44.353
<v Speaker 2>and so modern love. I can't speak highly enough of it.

0:20:44.354 --> 0:20:46.354
<v Speaker 2>There's so many episodes I still think about all these

0:20:46.394 --> 0:20:49.074
<v Speaker 2>years later, and like there's frothy episodes and some episodes

0:20:49.074 --> 0:20:52.314
<v Speaker 2>that just made me sob It's really beautiful. It's on Prime,

0:20:52.394 --> 0:20:55.514
<v Speaker 2>It's on Prime Video. So yeah, highly recommend, because again

0:20:55.594 --> 0:20:56.513
<v Speaker 2>little self contained.

0:20:56.714 --> 0:20:58.674
<v Speaker 1>Do you know why I think it hasn't really hid? Yeah,

0:20:58.714 --> 0:21:01.554
<v Speaker 1>because Prime wasn't that big when this came out in Australia.

0:21:01.674 --> 0:21:02.714
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't like a.

0:21:02.634 --> 0:21:05.354
<v Speaker 1>Massive streaming service yet, So I feel like maybe that's

0:21:05.354 --> 0:21:06.674
<v Speaker 1>why a lot of people might have missed it.

0:21:07.314 --> 0:21:09.154
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure if you have a Prime subscription now

0:21:09.194 --> 0:21:10.474
<v Speaker 2>you can go in and watch it, because it's all

0:21:10.514 --> 0:21:13.434
<v Speaker 2>just sitting there ready to watch. Okay, one more because

0:21:13.474 --> 0:21:15.554
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like I can't finish off this episode

0:21:15.794 --> 0:21:18.194
<v Speaker 2>without talking about one of my favorite shows of all time,

0:21:18.554 --> 0:21:19.273
<v Speaker 2>Heart of Dixie.

0:21:19.514 --> 0:21:23.674
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I'm sorry, really, no, really, why why I

0:21:23.714 --> 0:21:26.033
<v Speaker 1>said I watched like five seconds and I hated it.

0:21:26.154 --> 0:21:29.114
<v Speaker 2>Well, of course five seconds. Also of the pilot, you

0:21:29.154 --> 0:21:31.714
<v Speaker 2>should know that a pilot is not always a reflection

0:21:31.794 --> 0:21:32.554
<v Speaker 2>with the real show.

0:21:32.554 --> 0:21:36.194
<v Speaker 1>It was too like like it's so sugary, in the

0:21:36.514 --> 0:21:41.434
<v Speaker 1>way to Sugary like two American So I can't everything.

0:21:41.154 --> 0:21:43.994
<v Speaker 2>I wanted a wrong coom Sugary Americans starring Rachel Bilson.

0:21:44.234 --> 0:21:47.553
<v Speaker 2>I have watched all four seasons multiple multiple, multiple times.

0:21:47.634 --> 0:21:49.513
<v Speaker 2>I know, and I'm here to tell you that, and

0:21:49.554 --> 0:21:51.194
<v Speaker 2>so many other women in this office too, you know.

0:21:51.234 --> 0:21:52.954
<v Speaker 1>And I know that I'm going to get raped over

0:21:52.994 --> 0:21:54.514
<v Speaker 1>the coals by this. I know it's very pop.

0:21:54.634 --> 0:21:55.754
<v Speaker 2>I just think you have to watch more than a

0:21:55.794 --> 0:21:58.994
<v Speaker 2>few seconds so it get Heart of Dixie. It's so

0:21:59.034 --> 0:22:01.154
<v Speaker 2>stressful that you haven't watched it. You know, if they

0:22:01.154 --> 0:22:02.474
<v Speaker 2>haven't watched it, that you're just not even giving it

0:22:02.474 --> 0:22:05.154
<v Speaker 2>the kudos it deserves. But Heart is about Rachel Bilson,

0:22:05.194 --> 0:22:08.234
<v Speaker 2>who again incredible actress, who really can lead a rong

0:22:08.274 --> 0:22:10.754
<v Speaker 2>com like that's her Nie. She's a good leading lady.

0:22:11.034 --> 0:22:13.714
<v Speaker 2>She plays doctor Zoe Hart and yes, she is a

0:22:13.754 --> 0:22:16.874
<v Speaker 2>heart surgeon living in New York, very very fancy. Yeah

0:22:17.514 --> 0:22:19.394
<v Speaker 2>it's not really it's not trying to be at all

0:22:19.474 --> 0:22:22.754
<v Speaker 2>like subtle at anyway here. And she misses out in

0:22:22.754 --> 0:22:25.994
<v Speaker 2>this huge job opportunity because her supervisor at work tells

0:22:26.034 --> 0:22:28.313
<v Speaker 2>her that even though she's called doctor Heart and a

0:22:28.354 --> 0:22:30.354
<v Speaker 2>heart surgeon. She doesn't have a heart, she has no

0:22:30.394 --> 0:22:32.994
<v Speaker 2>bed sign manner. So he tells her to go and

0:22:33.034 --> 0:22:35.194
<v Speaker 2>work as a GP for a year and then come

0:22:35.194 --> 0:22:37.833
<v Speaker 2>back to the hospital and she'll have a chance. And

0:22:37.874 --> 0:22:40.074
<v Speaker 2>then she can't find a GP job because obviously they're

0:22:40.074 --> 0:22:42.154
<v Speaker 2>all filled for the year. And then she remembers that

0:22:42.194 --> 0:22:44.674
<v Speaker 2>this strange old man in suit has been coming to

0:22:44.754 --> 0:22:48.033
<v Speaker 2>her graduation in her events and stuff for over her

0:22:48.114 --> 0:22:51.154
<v Speaker 2>life and keeps offering her a job, writing to her

0:22:51.154 --> 0:22:53.914
<v Speaker 2>a job and saying, I own a medical practice in

0:22:53.954 --> 0:22:56.553
<v Speaker 2>a tiny little town called blue Bell and Alabama, and

0:22:56.554 --> 0:22:59.034
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to hire you. And she was like, okay.

0:22:59.114 --> 0:23:01.394
<v Speaker 2>So she gets on a plane and a bus and

0:23:01.474 --> 0:23:03.954
<v Speaker 2>takes all her fancy clothes out to this tiny little

0:23:03.954 --> 0:23:06.434
<v Speaker 2>town called blue Bell, only to discover this all the

0:23:06.434 --> 0:23:10.074
<v Speaker 2>first episodes, that's why I hate the Only to discover

0:23:10.514 --> 0:23:12.714
<v Speaker 2>that the man who gave her the job is actually

0:23:12.794 --> 0:23:15.074
<v Speaker 2>her father who she didn't know and he just died.

0:23:15.314 --> 0:23:17.954
<v Speaker 2>And then she stays in the town to be the doctor.

0:23:17.994 --> 0:23:19.154
<v Speaker 2>And it's this a whole fish out of water thing

0:23:19.154 --> 0:23:21.034
<v Speaker 2>because she's like a big city glamorous girl and it's

0:23:21.034 --> 0:23:22.154
<v Speaker 2>a little town where they still dress.

0:23:22.194 --> 0:23:26.154
<v Speaker 1>It's like Sweet Home Alabama, but completely on stereodys about

0:23:26.394 --> 0:23:27.513
<v Speaker 1>Reese with a spoon in it.

0:23:27.754 --> 0:23:29.793
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but Rachel Bilson is so good in this, and

0:23:29.874 --> 0:23:33.754
<v Speaker 2>also it's got these amazing side characters. Obviously, Gilmore Girls

0:23:33.794 --> 0:23:35.994
<v Speaker 2>is so much of a better show. But the town

0:23:36.074 --> 0:23:38.313
<v Speaker 2>of Bluebellt mirrors the town of Starles Hollow in a

0:23:38.314 --> 0:23:38.714
<v Speaker 2>way of.

0:23:38.594 --> 0:23:40.313
<v Speaker 1>Like I didn't like.

0:23:40.794 --> 0:23:42.754
<v Speaker 2>No, we're not doing no.

0:23:42.794 --> 0:23:46.874
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

0:23:46.914 --> 0:23:49.474
<v Speaker 2>Okay, listen, you might as well you just trashed my family.

0:23:49.914 --> 0:23:52.874
<v Speaker 2>Do you know that? Did you watch all of Gilmore Girls? No?

0:23:52.994 --> 0:23:54.033
<v Speaker 2>You watched five seconds?

0:23:54.874 --> 0:23:56.994
<v Speaker 1>I watched the season. Listen. I don't hate it, but

0:23:57.434 --> 0:24:00.114
<v Speaker 1>that's not I'm so sorry. You should see how upset

0:24:00.154 --> 0:24:01.033
<v Speaker 1>Laura looks at me right now.

0:24:01.034 --> 0:24:02.754
<v Speaker 2>It's one of my favorite TV shows. I know all

0:24:02.754 --> 0:24:03.074
<v Speaker 2>the time.

0:24:03.154 --> 0:24:05.833
<v Speaker 1>I know I understand Laura, and I'm really sorry. I

0:24:05.874 --> 0:24:09.794
<v Speaker 1>really do apologie. TV shows that I really love aren't

0:24:09.834 --> 0:24:14.114
<v Speaker 1>really like dramas like that. Okay, I'm like Parks and

0:24:14.234 --> 0:24:19.674
<v Speaker 1>rec or Veep or Brooklyn nine nine, So it's just

0:24:19.714 --> 0:24:22.994
<v Speaker 1>not my type of show. I'm really sorry. Like I've

0:24:23.034 --> 0:24:25.754
<v Speaker 1>watched it, but I'm just not like obsessed with it.

0:24:26.154 --> 0:24:27.994
<v Speaker 2>I can't. I can't write I do try.

0:24:28.914 --> 0:24:32.194
<v Speaker 1>Version, a less good version of that, and like really agree, American,

0:24:32.354 --> 0:24:33.073
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that.

0:24:33.194 --> 0:24:34.834
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm just trying to say, Okay, maybe it's not

0:24:34.874 --> 0:24:36.874
<v Speaker 2>for you. But the people who love Gilmore girls, people

0:24:36.874 --> 0:24:40.273
<v Speaker 2>with humor, heart and soul, those people who love the

0:24:40.274 --> 0:24:41.874
<v Speaker 2>town of styles Hollow and the fact that they've got

0:24:41.874 --> 0:24:44.674
<v Speaker 2>the little quirky town square and all the different characters

0:24:44.634 --> 0:24:46.273
<v Speaker 2>that live in it. If you like that, that is

0:24:46.314 --> 0:24:49.314
<v Speaker 2>also in Heart of Dixie. I should also say it's

0:24:49.314 --> 0:24:51.833
<v Speaker 2>got one of the best performances from like a side

0:24:51.914 --> 0:24:55.394
<v Speaker 2>comedic actress who becomes a leading lady, which is Jamie King,

0:24:55.634 --> 0:24:58.513
<v Speaker 2>who plays Lemon Breeland. And I think out of everyone,

0:24:58.554 --> 0:25:00.234
<v Speaker 2>you would like her because she comes off like, oh,

0:25:00.234 --> 0:25:03.834
<v Speaker 2>she's just sugary, sweet debutante. But she is an evil mastermind.

0:25:03.834 --> 0:25:06.514
<v Speaker 2>She's so clever, she's so like manipulative, and she very

0:25:06.554 --> 0:25:09.674
<v Speaker 2>much becomes the lead character as the shows go of. Also,

0:25:09.714 --> 0:25:11.954
<v Speaker 2>it's got my favorite thing in a love story. It's

0:25:11.954 --> 0:25:15.194
<v Speaker 2>got haters to lovers and a very unexpected love story.

0:25:15.194 --> 0:25:17.553
<v Speaker 2>The whole time you're watching Heart of Dixie, they're setting

0:25:17.634 --> 0:25:19.033
<v Speaker 2>up this is the main love story. This is the

0:25:19.034 --> 0:25:20.754
<v Speaker 2>main love story. This is the main love story, and

0:25:20.794 --> 0:25:22.754
<v Speaker 2>it changes and it's the best payoff.

0:25:22.834 --> 0:25:24.794
<v Speaker 1>But if I'm going to watch like a Fish out

0:25:24.794 --> 0:25:26.874
<v Speaker 1>of Water series, I'm going to watch like Ginny and Georgia.

0:25:26.994 --> 0:25:29.674
<v Speaker 2>Oh see, I can't get behind Jinny and Georgia. Really no, Oh,

0:25:29.714 --> 0:25:32.074
<v Speaker 2>I really like it. It's good TV. It's just it

0:25:32.114 --> 0:25:34.273
<v Speaker 2>hasn't sucked me in in the same Oh.

0:25:34.314 --> 0:25:35.994
<v Speaker 1>I like it a lot more like at least because

0:25:35.994 --> 0:25:38.274
<v Speaker 1>it's got like a bit of quirk to it. Yeah.

0:25:38.354 --> 0:25:39.794
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so of these shows you wouldn't know because

0:25:39.794 --> 0:25:42.474
<v Speaker 2>you haven't watched all of them. So that's that. So

0:25:42.594 --> 0:25:45.074
<v Speaker 2>Heart of Dixie is on the stand, and there's so

0:25:45.114 --> 0:25:47.274
<v Speaker 2>many episodes, and I just also, again, if you're looking

0:25:47.354 --> 0:25:51.474
<v Speaker 2>for really comforting, lovely TV, I have watched every episode

0:25:51.594 --> 0:25:53.793
<v Speaker 2>so so many times. It's just really good. It's got

0:25:53.834 --> 0:25:54.554
<v Speaker 2>a really good cast.

0:25:54.914 --> 0:25:58.634
<v Speaker 1>And also, please don't hate me and send me death threats.

0:25:58.634 --> 0:26:00.354
<v Speaker 2>Okay, guys, you do what you need to do with
