If you're newish to 10 00:00:43,984 --> 00:00:47,304 Speaker 1: the Spill, Our brutally honest reviews is when we talk 11 00:00:47,344 --> 00:00:49,944 Speaker 1: about either a movie or a TV show that has 12 00:00:50,024 --> 00:00:52,664 Speaker 1: kind of started a big pop culture conversation, something that 13 00:00:52,744 --> 00:00:57,224 Speaker 1: everyone is talking about, and we just go deep on thoughts, opinions, reactions. 14 00:00:57,664 --> 00:00:59,744 Speaker 1: It's everything that we might not say online but we're 15 00:00:59,744 --> 00:01:00,584 Speaker 1: definitely gonna say here. 16 00:01:00,864 --> 00:01:05,024 Speaker 2: But first, we actually have some breaking Bridgeton news and 17 00:01:05,104 --> 00:01:08,904 Speaker 2: it is a personal travesty for me. The start of 18 00:01:08,984 --> 00:01:12,424 Speaker 2: season three, Luke new And, who plays Colin, is in 19 00:01:12,464 --> 00:01:16,344 Speaker 2: a relationship with someone who isn't Nicola Cocklin. 20 00:01:16,904 --> 00:01:19,264 Speaker 1: Yes, so, if you I mean waiting for you to react. 21 00:01:19,264 --> 00:01:20,384 Speaker 2: I'm like, sure, you're upset. 22 00:01:20,584 --> 00:01:23,544 Speaker 1: Oh, I mean no, I'm personally not unset, only because 23 00:01:23,904 --> 00:01:25,544 Speaker 1: I've seen the headlines about this, so I should say 24 00:01:25,544 --> 00:01:29,304 Speaker 1: that people are being like secret girlfriend reveal and scandal 25 00:01:29,384 --> 00:01:31,704 Speaker 1: and people being like we've all been tricked. I can't 26 00:01:31,744 --> 00:01:36,584 Speaker 1: believe they aren't together, and it's just that's Emily's notes 27 00:01:36,624 --> 00:01:39,344 Speaker 1: to me about this episode. No, this is what Luke 28 00:01:39,384 --> 00:01:42,584 Speaker 1: Newton and Nicola Cocklan have been saying throughout this entire 29 00:01:42,624 --> 00:01:44,904 Speaker 1: press tour that they're definitely not together. They're just friends. 30 00:01:44,944 --> 00:01:47,304 Speaker 1: He has a girlfriend. But I'm just saying that's what 31 00:01:47,344 --> 00:01:49,704 Speaker 1: they said, and I do believe them, but obviously their 32 00:01:49,864 --> 00:01:53,504 Speaker 1: body language, their kind of closeness at all their events 33 00:01:54,064 --> 00:01:56,624 Speaker 1: was to give us this tantalizing look into what it 34 00:01:56,664 --> 00:01:58,944 Speaker 1: could be like if they were together, and a lot 35 00:01:58,944 --> 00:02:01,424 Speaker 1: of it was definitely, I think, very planned and in 36 00:02:01,504 --> 00:02:04,984 Speaker 1: like promoting this series and at the British and Australian 37 00:02:04,984 --> 00:02:08,184 Speaker 1: premiere that I did go to, Nikola was there and 38 00:02:08,224 --> 00:02:10,064 Speaker 1: when she was talking about their chemistry and she was saying, 39 00:02:10,064 --> 00:02:11,544 Speaker 1: people keep saying to us, how are you going to 40 00:02:11,584 --> 00:02:13,424 Speaker 1: bring a chemistry to screen? And She's like, we've been 41 00:02:13,464 --> 00:02:15,784 Speaker 1: suppressing it this whole time. We're just about to let 42 00:02:15,784 --> 00:02:19,384 Speaker 1: it loose. So that's the hardest thing. They were across 43 00:02:19,384 --> 00:02:22,904 Speaker 1: there talking points from day one and then Emily, a 44 00:02:22,944 --> 00:02:24,584 Speaker 1: tragedy has occurred in last few days. 45 00:02:24,584 --> 00:02:28,744 Speaker 2: The tragedy has occurred because Luke Newton was photographed hand 46 00:02:28,744 --> 00:02:33,824 Speaker 2: in hand with dancer Antonio rumor Leoti. So beautiful. I'm 47 00:02:33,824 --> 00:02:37,544 Speaker 2: sure a very nice person. She's very beautiful person, dunning, 48 00:02:38,144 --> 00:02:41,424 Speaker 2: but it was just so annoying how he literally the 49 00:02:41,464 --> 00:02:43,824 Speaker 2: minute season three dropped, He's like, Okay, now I can 50 00:02:43,864 --> 00:02:46,504 Speaker 2: be public with my girlfriend. Both of them, like you said, 51 00:02:46,544 --> 00:02:49,344 Speaker 2: like just so smart at the marketing for season three, 52 00:02:49,384 --> 00:02:52,504 Speaker 2: like they really leant into everyone shipping them as a 53 00:02:52,544 --> 00:02:55,624 Speaker 2: real life couple, including myself, even though I host an. 54 00:02:55,664 --> 00:02:58,904 Speaker 1: Entertainment podcast, I fell for it too well. It was 55 00:02:58,944 --> 00:03:01,904 Speaker 1: a perfectly executed press tour in that regard, because, as 56 00:03:01,944 --> 00:03:04,144 Speaker 1: we always say, it's a very fine line to walk 57 00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:07,584 Speaker 1: between giving the audience a taste of like a bit 58 00:03:07,624 --> 00:03:09,424 Speaker 1: of chemistry. You know, we love each other as friends, 59 00:03:09,424 --> 00:03:12,224 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, we could be in love if we chose, Like, 60 00:03:12,264 --> 00:03:15,344 Speaker 1: that's the perfect line to walk where you're not like 61 00:03:15,504 --> 00:03:19,264 Speaker 1: making people think that you're actually cheating on your partners 62 00:03:19,544 --> 00:03:22,464 Speaker 1: Alah Bradley Cooper and Lady Gagai and Astara is born, 63 00:03:22,864 --> 00:03:25,984 Speaker 1: or having people think that you absolutely hate each other 64 00:03:26,344 --> 00:03:30,744 Speaker 1: Alah Rehys Nicholson and Ashton Kutcher in whatever that maybe 65 00:03:30,904 --> 00:03:32,424 Speaker 1: was where they would barely touch each other on the 66 00:03:32,464 --> 00:03:34,304 Speaker 1: red carpet because they didn't want anyone to think they 67 00:03:34,304 --> 00:03:36,864 Speaker 1: were together. So they're the two extremes, and these two 68 00:03:36,904 --> 00:03:40,304 Speaker 1: walked line perfectly. It was just really bad timing. The 69 00:03:40,424 --> 00:03:43,344 Speaker 1: second the after party for the part two of Season 70 00:03:43,384 --> 00:03:47,304 Speaker 1: three launch finished, he was spotted publicly with his girlfriend 71 00:03:47,464 --> 00:03:49,384 Speaker 1: and I wasn't expecting her to go on the world 72 00:03:49,424 --> 00:03:51,624 Speaker 1: tour with them and be on the red carpets. That 73 00:03:51,664 --> 00:03:54,504 Speaker 1: feels like it would be taking the spotlight away from 74 00:03:54,504 --> 00:03:56,624 Speaker 1: the show a little bit. But I just think maybe 75 00:03:56,664 --> 00:03:57,904 Speaker 1: they could have waited a couple of days. 76 00:03:57,944 --> 00:04:00,704 Speaker 2: I know, but I can see as like if I 77 00:04:00,744 --> 00:04:03,184 Speaker 2: was in the shoes of Antonio, I'd be like, my 78 00:04:03,344 --> 00:04:05,544 Speaker 2: boyfriend's super hot. I can't be seen with him, so 79 00:04:05,624 --> 00:04:07,424 Speaker 2: the minute I'm allowed to, like, I'd just be like, 80 00:04:07,584 --> 00:04:08,784 Speaker 2: can I come out now? Yeah? 81 00:04:09,104 --> 00:04:11,464 Speaker 1: Am I allowed to hold your She was like, and 82 00:04:11,544 --> 00:04:13,864 Speaker 1: how like Tom Holland doesn't walk the carpet was there 83 00:04:13,944 --> 00:04:16,464 Speaker 1: or any movies. But he's always there. He's always in 84 00:04:16,504 --> 00:04:18,784 Speaker 1: like the building next door looking out through the window. 85 00:04:18,864 --> 00:04:21,664 Speaker 1: He's in the car outside. That's her, But because she's 86 00:04:21,704 --> 00:04:25,184 Speaker 1: not famous, fous just like, can I just come to this? Well, 87 00:04:25,224 --> 00:04:27,064 Speaker 1: she probably was there, but people just didn't see her 88 00:04:27,064 --> 00:04:29,624 Speaker 1: because they weren't being photographed together. But it's interesting how 89 00:04:29,704 --> 00:04:33,024 Speaker 1: angry people are. I guess they feel like they've been misled, 90 00:04:33,104 --> 00:04:34,944 Speaker 1: even though he has said over and over again, I 91 00:04:34,944 --> 00:04:45,744 Speaker 1: have a girlfriend, but it just wasn't permeating. So much 92 00:04:45,784 --> 00:04:48,504 Speaker 1: to say about bridgeston season three. Obviously, we've talked about 93 00:04:48,504 --> 00:04:49,944 Speaker 1: it a few times in the spill over the last 94 00:04:49,944 --> 00:04:52,224 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Because of the split season, which was 95 00:04:52,264 --> 00:04:55,384 Speaker 1: genius on Netflix's behalf, we've had a long tailed genius 96 00:04:55,384 --> 00:04:57,984 Speaker 1: for them, annoying for me. I did like the gap 97 00:04:58,024 --> 00:04:59,664 Speaker 1: because I feel like he gave people a chance to 98 00:04:59,704 --> 00:05:03,784 Speaker 1: really kind of always episode because I'm a you know, 99 00:05:03,824 --> 00:05:06,344 Speaker 1: a believer of one episode a week and really, you know, 100 00:05:06,504 --> 00:05:07,584 Speaker 1: let it sink into your life. 101 00:05:07,624 --> 00:05:09,544 Speaker 2: I want to watch the whole thing in sixteen hours 102 00:05:09,584 --> 00:05:10,224 Speaker 2: without getting up. 103 00:05:10,704 --> 00:05:12,944 Speaker 1: The first part of the series was very much their 104 00:05:13,024 --> 00:05:16,464 Speaker 1: love story, sexy carriage scene which we talked about, and 105 00:05:16,504 --> 00:05:19,504 Speaker 1: then ending on him leading her into the family home 106 00:05:19,704 --> 00:05:23,304 Speaker 1: to tell the family they're engaged, and then him finding 107 00:05:23,344 --> 00:05:25,944 Speaker 1: out her big secret leading into their marriage. And a 108 00:05:26,024 --> 00:05:28,144 Speaker 1: big thing that's come out this season is that we 109 00:05:28,184 --> 00:05:29,984 Speaker 1: just obviously talked about how much people were loving their 110 00:05:30,064 --> 00:05:32,384 Speaker 1: chemistry on the Red Carpet, but one of the big 111 00:05:32,424 --> 00:05:34,504 Speaker 1: critiques of this season is that people didn't think they 112 00:05:34,504 --> 00:05:37,304 Speaker 1: had any chemistry their characters on screen. 113 00:05:37,784 --> 00:05:40,344 Speaker 2: Wait, people are saying that they didn't be a huge 114 00:05:40,344 --> 00:05:42,704 Speaker 2: thing chemistry on screen, but they. 115 00:05:42,624 --> 00:05:45,224 Speaker 1: Weren't believing their love story. Some people thought she had 116 00:05:45,264 --> 00:05:48,544 Speaker 1: more of a spark with like Lord Devlin, the rich 117 00:05:48,584 --> 00:05:49,904 Speaker 1: guy who was going to leave her alone in his 118 00:05:49,944 --> 00:05:51,864 Speaker 1: house for three years, which I've got to say I 119 00:05:51,864 --> 00:05:53,864 Speaker 1: was quite on board with in that time when women 120 00:05:53,904 --> 00:05:55,784 Speaker 1: get you know, abused and told what to do, all 121 00:05:55,784 --> 00:05:57,464 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. I like being left alone in a 122 00:05:57,464 --> 00:06:00,944 Speaker 1: rich man's house. The dream to write her little column, yeah, 123 00:06:01,024 --> 00:06:02,504 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean she was making a lot of money. 124 00:06:02,504 --> 00:06:05,824 Speaker 2: They're not little, yeah, But as a writer, that sounds brilliant, 125 00:06:06,424 --> 00:06:08,704 Speaker 2: sounds exactly deblings out there. 126 00:06:08,784 --> 00:06:10,184 Speaker 1: I would love to take you up on that offer. 127 00:06:10,344 --> 00:06:12,664 Speaker 1: But yeah, people didn't believe their love stories some people. 128 00:06:12,904 --> 00:06:16,584 Speaker 2: I have a feeling I know where this is coming from, 129 00:06:16,584 --> 00:06:19,344 Speaker 2: and I think it's because besides the character, we only 130 00:06:19,384 --> 00:06:23,064 Speaker 2: got one like long sex scene with both of them, 131 00:06:23,584 --> 00:06:26,264 Speaker 2: which are so different to I think season one with 132 00:06:26,344 --> 00:06:30,064 Speaker 2: Daphne and season two with Kate and Anthony. I think 133 00:06:30,184 --> 00:06:33,424 Speaker 2: we got like a lot of intimate moments with both 134 00:06:33,464 --> 00:06:36,544 Speaker 2: those couples, but with Colin and Penelope, it felt like 135 00:06:36,584 --> 00:06:40,344 Speaker 2: it was a lot of heat and like touching and 136 00:06:40,464 --> 00:06:43,704 Speaker 2: leering looks. And I think people get that confused with 137 00:06:43,784 --> 00:06:46,424 Speaker 2: like intimacy and they think they're two separate things. Yeah, 138 00:06:46,464 --> 00:06:48,944 Speaker 2: but I think that all counts. Like I think every 139 00:06:49,024 --> 00:06:51,304 Speaker 2: like scene they were together, I thought they were very 140 00:06:51,344 --> 00:06:51,904 Speaker 2: like intimate. 141 00:06:52,144 --> 00:06:53,704 Speaker 1: I thought too. I thought they also had a lot 142 00:06:53,744 --> 00:06:57,304 Speaker 1: of chemistry. And I just think that some people are misremembering, 143 00:06:57,424 --> 00:07:00,184 Speaker 1: especially the first season of Bridgeton and romancing on their heads. 144 00:07:00,184 --> 00:07:02,344 Speaker 1: It's been a slow bad exactly because I want to 145 00:07:02,384 --> 00:07:04,464 Speaker 1: rewatch that recently and it came out so many years ago, 146 00:07:04,544 --> 00:07:07,864 Speaker 1: and Simon and Daphne don't have sex until like midway 147 00:07:08,184 --> 00:07:11,784 Speaker 1: like Colin and Penelope midway through show. Obviously there's a 148 00:07:11,784 --> 00:07:13,664 Speaker 1: spark between them, but there's a well they won't they 149 00:07:13,744 --> 00:07:16,144 Speaker 1: She's having a romance with someone else. He's very standoffish, 150 00:07:16,264 --> 00:07:18,984 Speaker 1: like it's not this like instant love story like they're 151 00:07:18,984 --> 00:07:21,504 Speaker 1: having sex in the first episode like people remember, and 152 00:07:21,664 --> 00:07:23,744 Speaker 1: very similar with Kateon and Anthony, like they do have 153 00:07:23,744 --> 00:07:25,944 Speaker 1: a sex thing kind of towards the end, but again 154 00:07:25,984 --> 00:07:28,824 Speaker 1: it's that slow burn build up. And I don't know 155 00:07:28,864 --> 00:07:31,424 Speaker 1: if this is because we've already seen them so much 156 00:07:31,424 --> 00:07:33,904 Speaker 1: in two seasons, and so people were sort of wanting 157 00:07:34,024 --> 00:07:36,984 Speaker 1: something so extraordinarily different to what we'd already seen. But 158 00:07:37,024 --> 00:07:39,464 Speaker 1: they also is that slightly ugly side of it that 159 00:07:39,944 --> 00:07:42,584 Speaker 1: I think some people are not realizing their own body 160 00:07:42,624 --> 00:07:46,184 Speaker 1: phobia wrapped up and yes, oh my god, yes, yeah yeah, 161 00:07:46,184 --> 00:07:48,664 Speaker 1: And maybe they didn't see Penelope that character. 162 00:07:48,864 --> 00:07:51,944 Speaker 2: She's not a size zero, So why is. 163 00:07:51,944 --> 00:07:54,264 Speaker 1: This very chance a man everyone's like, all of a sudden, 164 00:07:54,264 --> 00:07:57,224 Speaker 1: he's infatuated with her. That never happens. And it was like, yeah, 165 00:07:57,264 --> 00:07:59,504 Speaker 1: because he realized she was about to marry someone else, 166 00:07:59,544 --> 00:08:01,784 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like that does in real life, 167 00:08:01,824 --> 00:08:03,584 Speaker 1: that does trigger people, is like you, all of a sudden, 168 00:08:03,584 --> 00:08:05,664 Speaker 1: you realize this person isn't going to be available anymore, 169 00:08:05,704 --> 00:08:06,784 Speaker 1: and then you want them. 170 00:08:06,624 --> 00:08:09,544 Speaker 2: And it's like that immediate connection. Like their first kiss 171 00:08:09,664 --> 00:08:11,704 Speaker 2: was the best first kiss I ever seen play out 172 00:08:11,744 --> 00:08:15,464 Speaker 2: on TV, Like it was so dramatic, feltic, and also 173 00:08:15,544 --> 00:08:18,824 Speaker 2: like she felt like hungry for it, which was so beautiful. 174 00:08:18,864 --> 00:08:20,824 Speaker 2: And like his face. I know a lot of people 175 00:08:20,904 --> 00:08:23,664 Speaker 2: don't really like him, but I think he's a brilliant actor, 176 00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:25,984 Speaker 2: and his face after that first kiss and the dream 177 00:08:26,024 --> 00:08:28,544 Speaker 2: he had about her after that, I'm like, this actually 178 00:08:28,624 --> 00:08:31,704 Speaker 2: happens in real life. Yeah, Like it's an immediate connection. 179 00:08:31,584 --> 00:08:33,544 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I also didn't like the idea that 180 00:08:33,584 --> 00:08:35,744 Speaker 1: she was begging for that kiss and then, so it 181 00:08:35,784 --> 00:08:39,224 Speaker 1: didn't really count too much towards their love story because 182 00:08:39,224 --> 00:08:41,264 Speaker 1: I didn't see that as begging. I saw that as 183 00:08:41,264 --> 00:08:44,024 Speaker 1: someone who had been the little sister, a woman in 184 00:08:44,064 --> 00:08:47,024 Speaker 1: a society that doesn't give woman power, a wallflower, by 185 00:08:47,024 --> 00:08:49,904 Speaker 1: her own admission, her entire life, had been on the 186 00:08:49,904 --> 00:08:52,824 Speaker 1: marriage market for years and had this awful time finally 187 00:08:52,904 --> 00:08:54,624 Speaker 1: stepping up and like asking for what. 188 00:08:54,664 --> 00:08:57,184 Speaker 2: She had, like taking control of her own narratives exactly. 189 00:08:57,224 --> 00:08:59,224 Speaker 1: And I thought that was a very powerful thing, and 190 00:08:59,264 --> 00:09:01,384 Speaker 1: that to relegate it to her begging. I was like, 191 00:09:01,424 --> 00:09:03,184 Speaker 1: we're watching two different shows here. Yeah. 192 00:09:03,224 --> 00:09:05,944 Speaker 2: It's also interesting that first kiss because I also saw 193 00:09:05,984 --> 00:09:08,664 Speaker 2: it as a thing where she's like, how. 194 00:09:08,544 --> 00:09:09,184 Speaker 1: Good can this be? 195 00:09:09,344 --> 00:09:10,864 Speaker 2: Like let me just get it over and done with, 196 00:09:11,024 --> 00:09:12,544 Speaker 2: Like come on, everyone makes us such a big deal. 197 00:09:12,704 --> 00:09:14,144 Speaker 2: And then after the kiss, she was like, that was 198 00:09:14,144 --> 00:09:14,624 Speaker 2: a pretty bid. 199 00:09:14,664 --> 00:09:16,664 Speaker 1: It was actually pretty good. I understand when people ruin 200 00:09:16,744 --> 00:09:19,064 Speaker 1: their lives over this. A lot of build up to 201 00:09:19,104 --> 00:09:21,224 Speaker 1: their wedding was the other thing I wanted to touch on, 202 00:09:21,344 --> 00:09:21,864 Speaker 1: and I. 203 00:09:22,144 --> 00:09:23,984 Speaker 2: Forget it to Bridgeton time as well, so I'm like 204 00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,224 Speaker 2: it's moving a lot of really fast, and then I'm like, 205 00:09:26,224 --> 00:09:28,264 Speaker 2: oh wait, this is a period drama. 206 00:09:28,344 --> 00:09:30,944 Speaker 1: Even though in watching Bridgeton you have this safety net 207 00:09:30,984 --> 00:09:33,144 Speaker 1: that you know at the end they're going to be married, 208 00:09:33,424 --> 00:09:35,704 Speaker 1: so everything's going to be fine. But the build up 209 00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:38,584 Speaker 1: to him finding out that she was Lady Whistledown, I 210 00:09:38,624 --> 00:09:41,344 Speaker 1: was getting like panic, chest pain on her behalf at 211 00:09:41,344 --> 00:09:44,224 Speaker 1: the engagement party, also feeling bad that she'd built up 212 00:09:44,224 --> 00:09:45,904 Speaker 1: this fairy tale in her head, and then her engagement 213 00:09:45,904 --> 00:09:48,584 Speaker 1: party was ruined. The lead up to the wedding was ruined. 214 00:09:48,984 --> 00:09:50,784 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so glad. They had that really 215 00:09:50,824 --> 00:09:53,544 Speaker 1: beautiful moment as she's walking down the aisle at the 216 00:09:53,544 --> 00:09:55,384 Speaker 1: wedding and she kind of looks at him just like 217 00:09:55,944 --> 00:09:57,664 Speaker 1: do you really still love me? And he gives that 218 00:09:57,704 --> 00:09:59,984 Speaker 1: little nod and she's like, okay, okay, now we can 219 00:10:00,024 --> 00:10:01,504 Speaker 1: do this, and like all of a sudden, like you 220 00:10:01,544 --> 00:10:03,384 Speaker 1: can just feel like the tension from that scene just 221 00:10:03,424 --> 00:10:06,744 Speaker 1: completely drained away. And I also love that they chose 222 00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:11,224 Speaker 1: the instrumental version of Yellow by Cold Yeah beautiful and 223 00:10:11,304 --> 00:10:14,264 Speaker 1: nod to her signature color until before she had her makeover, 224 00:10:14,344 --> 00:10:15,664 Speaker 1: so I was like a nod to the person she 225 00:10:15,784 --> 00:10:19,704 Speaker 1: used to be. Oh, because you haven't been a fan 226 00:10:19,744 --> 00:10:21,504 Speaker 1: of all the instrumentals going forward on the show. 227 00:10:21,584 --> 00:10:23,944 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I usually love the instrumentals. Wasn't big fan 228 00:10:23,984 --> 00:10:26,504 Speaker 2: of the people song, but I'm not like like, I'm 229 00:10:26,544 --> 00:10:29,384 Speaker 2: not like a staunch, like angry person about it. But 230 00:10:29,664 --> 00:10:32,384 Speaker 2: what I loved about the lead up to the wedding 231 00:10:33,064 --> 00:10:36,584 Speaker 2: was seeing him thinking in real time what I should do. 232 00:10:36,984 --> 00:10:38,864 Speaker 2: I also would get like when you were feeling those 233 00:10:38,904 --> 00:10:40,864 Speaker 2: like little panic like chest pains. I was doing that 234 00:10:40,944 --> 00:10:43,344 Speaker 2: with every scene with Eloise and seeing her in it, 235 00:10:43,544 --> 00:10:47,584 Speaker 2: And I loved the comparison of that engagement scene with 236 00:10:47,704 --> 00:10:50,184 Speaker 2: like real life fairy tales like Cinderella, like she had 237 00:10:50,304 --> 00:10:53,264 Speaker 2: until midnight to tell him the truth. Yes, and it 238 00:10:53,344 --> 00:10:54,824 Speaker 2: was like I was just like back in my like 239 00:10:54,864 --> 00:10:57,704 Speaker 2: five year old like childhoo home going like, oh my god, 240 00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:58,624 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. 241 00:10:58,744 --> 00:10:58,944 Speaker 3: Yeah. 242 00:10:59,024 --> 00:11:01,904 Speaker 1: The comparisons to Cinderella was so good because you had 243 00:11:01,904 --> 00:11:04,464 Speaker 1: the whole like makeover, like those times where she entered 244 00:11:04,464 --> 00:11:06,224 Speaker 1: the ball and everyone turned around to look at her, 245 00:11:06,264 --> 00:11:08,744 Speaker 1: and then that countdown to midnight and having to like 246 00:11:08,984 --> 00:11:11,464 Speaker 1: quote unquote go back to her real life, which was 247 00:11:11,624 --> 00:11:14,544 Speaker 1: less than the life she was living, was very intense. Well, 248 00:11:14,544 --> 00:11:17,784 Speaker 1: coming up next, more Bridgington thoughts, and also that surprise 249 00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:21,104 Speaker 1: twist ending that I'm gonna say no one saw Comingana Nana, 250 00:11:22,624 --> 00:11:25,304 Speaker 1: so on the eloise note that you're saying there. That 251 00:11:25,544 --> 00:11:28,104 Speaker 1: was interesting for me this season because she's been such 252 00:11:28,144 --> 00:11:31,704 Speaker 1: a beloved character for the first two seasons, like a 253 00:11:31,744 --> 00:11:34,184 Speaker 1: real fan favorite, and I know that her character was 254 00:11:34,224 --> 00:11:36,624 Speaker 1: in a difficult place where she couldn't really come across 255 00:11:36,904 --> 00:11:39,184 Speaker 1: as likable because she was really set up in a 256 00:11:39,184 --> 00:11:41,544 Speaker 1: way to be the foil of her former best friend 257 00:11:41,584 --> 00:11:43,784 Speaker 1: at Penelope and as the audience, we're supposed to be 258 00:11:43,824 --> 00:11:46,784 Speaker 1: rooting for Penelope, so it was hard to be on 259 00:11:46,864 --> 00:11:49,704 Speaker 1: the side of Eloise, which is hard because that actress, 260 00:11:49,704 --> 00:11:52,264 Speaker 1: Claudia Jesse is so charismatic, she's so good on the 261 00:11:52,304 --> 00:11:55,184 Speaker 1: press tour, so talented, she's so talented. I love that 262 00:11:55,224 --> 00:11:57,744 Speaker 1: she's hiding her arm in all the scenes. You noticed 263 00:11:57,744 --> 00:11:59,784 Speaker 1: that she's always got a book over her arm or 264 00:11:59,784 --> 00:12:02,624 Speaker 1: a cushion, or she's wearing that big like muff walking 265 00:12:02,704 --> 00:12:05,104 Speaker 1: through the park to cover And it's because do you 266 00:12:05,144 --> 00:12:07,744 Speaker 1: know this, No, it's because when they first started filming 267 00:12:07,744 --> 00:12:11,504 Speaker 1: this season, she got really excited after a take and 268 00:12:11,584 --> 00:12:15,024 Speaker 1: she did what she called a celebratory high kick. But 269 00:12:15,144 --> 00:12:17,704 Speaker 1: as she kicked, she fell backwards, fell straight to the 270 00:12:17,744 --> 00:12:19,744 Speaker 1: floor because she tripped on those big skirts they wear 271 00:12:20,064 --> 00:12:23,624 Speaker 1: and severely broke her wrist in her hand. So she's 272 00:12:23,664 --> 00:12:26,544 Speaker 1: wearing a cast and all, yeah, she's wearing a cast 273 00:12:26,704 --> 00:12:28,784 Speaker 1: in the hole the rest of the show of filming, 274 00:12:29,064 --> 00:12:30,904 Speaker 1: so and you can sometimes see it. You can sometimes 275 00:12:30,904 --> 00:12:33,104 Speaker 1: see it peeking around the cushion and stuff because they're like, oh, 276 00:12:33,144 --> 00:12:35,264 Speaker 1: we can't really hide it. So I don't love her, 277 00:12:35,344 --> 00:12:36,784 Speaker 1: but I didn't like Eloise this season. 278 00:12:37,144 --> 00:12:40,584 Speaker 2: See this is I feel like the risk TV takes 279 00:12:40,584 --> 00:12:44,544 Speaker 2: that movies don't have, because when I first watched the 280 00:12:44,584 --> 00:12:48,584 Speaker 2: first half of season three, I also didn't like Eloise. 281 00:12:49,104 --> 00:12:51,784 Speaker 2: And then because I was in my Bridgeton hole, so 282 00:12:51,824 --> 00:12:54,704 Speaker 2: I started watching season one and season two again and 283 00:12:55,104 --> 00:12:58,344 Speaker 2: I forgot how badly Lady whistled Down, which was Penelope 284 00:12:58,344 --> 00:13:01,344 Speaker 2: Featherington wrote about her, oh yeah, and all the stuff 285 00:13:01,384 --> 00:13:04,864 Speaker 2: she did, and it made me kind of appreciate Eloise 286 00:13:04,944 --> 00:13:07,984 Speaker 2: more from like having such a deep love And I 287 00:13:08,024 --> 00:13:09,984 Speaker 2: do think that the true love story in this season 288 00:13:10,024 --> 00:13:13,384 Speaker 2: is La and Penelope and coming together and their friendship 289 00:13:13,464 --> 00:13:16,184 Speaker 2: is just the most beautiful friendship I've seen. And I 290 00:13:16,224 --> 00:13:18,944 Speaker 2: do understand that like pain that she felt of like 291 00:13:19,024 --> 00:13:21,504 Speaker 2: the love of your life betraying you in that and 292 00:13:21,544 --> 00:13:24,984 Speaker 2: like writing for like the entire society about like what 293 00:13:24,984 --> 00:13:27,624 Speaker 2: you've been doing, Like she ruined like Elouise as a 294 00:13:27,624 --> 00:13:30,744 Speaker 2: love story with that guy. Yeah, and it was just 295 00:13:30,824 --> 00:13:33,064 Speaker 2: so upsetting and I was so upset for her, But 296 00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:36,744 Speaker 2: then also watching her mature and like try to find 297 00:13:36,744 --> 00:13:39,064 Speaker 2: that friendship again, I thought it was just beautiful. 298 00:13:39,464 --> 00:13:41,744 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And I think also she copped a lot 299 00:13:41,744 --> 00:13:43,864 Speaker 1: of heat with her friendship for Cressita, which was the 300 00:13:43,904 --> 00:13:46,984 Speaker 1: big setup for season three. And I find Cresita such 301 00:13:46,984 --> 00:13:49,344 Speaker 1: an interesting character in the Brigitton world because she's a 302 00:13:49,344 --> 00:13:51,464 Speaker 1: bad raw She exactly she gets written off as this 303 00:13:51,544 --> 00:13:53,944 Speaker 1: spoilt mean girl, and she definitely is a mean girl. 304 00:13:54,104 --> 00:13:56,344 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think she's definitely the 305 00:13:56,344 --> 00:13:58,904 Speaker 1: most tragic character, or one of the most tragic characters 306 00:13:58,904 --> 00:14:01,944 Speaker 1: in the show, because she is the true embodiment of 307 00:14:02,184 --> 00:14:05,224 Speaker 1: even in that world, if you're very rich and privileged, 308 00:14:05,504 --> 00:14:08,424 Speaker 1: you're in such a dangerous, dangerous position as a woman 309 00:14:08,464 --> 00:14:10,704 Speaker 1: if you're unmarried, and I think we see that as 310 00:14:10,744 --> 00:14:13,464 Speaker 1: she gets set up for these marriages that she doesn't want, 311 00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:15,904 Speaker 1: and then you know, there's the threat of like being destitute, 312 00:14:15,984 --> 00:14:19,584 Speaker 1: not having anything, and her like taking these big swings 313 00:14:19,584 --> 00:14:22,384 Speaker 1: and pretending she's Lady Whistledown, and the fear that you 314 00:14:22,464 --> 00:14:24,304 Speaker 1: see in her eyes that she's got herself into this 315 00:14:24,344 --> 00:14:27,384 Speaker 1: situation because even with all that wealth and power and 316 00:14:27,424 --> 00:14:30,624 Speaker 1: all those beautiful clothes she has, she just has no 317 00:14:30,824 --> 00:14:33,584 Speaker 1: say and no power in anything. And I thought it 318 00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:36,424 Speaker 1: was so tragic but also beautiful. How when you see 319 00:14:36,464 --> 00:14:39,064 Speaker 1: her in the final scene of Bridges and season three 320 00:14:39,104 --> 00:14:42,024 Speaker 1: and she always has those very opulent hairdoodes with like 321 00:14:42,344 --> 00:14:45,144 Speaker 1: flowers and spikes and spikes in it. And in the 322 00:14:45,224 --> 00:14:48,264 Speaker 1: last one, if you look closely, there's small chains across 323 00:14:48,264 --> 00:14:51,304 Speaker 1: her hairline weave through her hair to show that she's 324 00:14:51,344 --> 00:14:53,784 Speaker 1: basically locked in a cage of this world and she's 325 00:14:53,904 --> 00:14:56,504 Speaker 1: chained to living this life. And I just thought, oh, 326 00:14:56,704 --> 00:14:57,864 Speaker 1: it's beautiful but tragic. 327 00:14:57,944 --> 00:15:00,464 Speaker 2: I also love with her character. Towards the end, she 328 00:15:00,544 --> 00:15:03,624 Speaker 2: kind of went into like a very masculine mentality where 329 00:15:03,584 --> 00:15:06,144 Speaker 2: it's like, do whatever it takes to survive, fuck everyone else, 330 00:15:06,624 --> 00:15:09,464 Speaker 2: and seeing that on a woman is so startling because 331 00:15:09,504 --> 00:15:11,664 Speaker 2: you're like, why you be like that? But then I'm like, 332 00:15:11,784 --> 00:15:13,744 Speaker 2: this was like one of the Bridgian guys. I'd be like, 333 00:15:13,784 --> 00:15:14,464 Speaker 2: that's kind of hot. 334 00:15:14,584 --> 00:15:18,184 Speaker 1: Yeah, you think, what an entrepreneur? And what did you 335 00:15:18,224 --> 00:15:21,504 Speaker 1: think of the lady whistledown reveal, because obviously that's what 336 00:15:21,504 --> 00:15:23,584 Speaker 1: we've been building up for the whole world and the 337 00:15:23,624 --> 00:15:26,664 Speaker 1: Queen in particular, to know who has been behind that 338 00:15:27,104 --> 00:15:29,944 Speaker 1: and that it happened in that big ball thrown by 339 00:15:29,944 --> 00:15:32,624 Speaker 1: the Featherington sisters. Love them, by the way, have come 340 00:15:32,664 --> 00:15:35,664 Speaker 1: full circle for them. They other just I think they 341 00:15:35,704 --> 00:15:39,464 Speaker 1: are actually the MVPs of this last season. But having 342 00:15:39,544 --> 00:15:42,304 Speaker 1: that big reveal take place, I'm not sure if it 343 00:15:42,384 --> 00:15:43,624 Speaker 1: hit the way I wanted it to hit. 344 00:15:43,944 --> 00:15:48,344 Speaker 2: But what I loved is seeing the Queen Queen Charlotte 345 00:15:48,344 --> 00:15:51,744 Speaker 2: come to the realization that although season one, season two 346 00:15:51,744 --> 00:15:54,664 Speaker 2: she wanted to take Lady Whistlesound down, she wanted her 347 00:15:54,664 --> 00:15:57,024 Speaker 2: to be in jail. She was like writing about her 348 00:15:57,104 --> 00:16:01,024 Speaker 2: every move and every decision, and the Queen suddenly realized 349 00:16:01,064 --> 00:16:03,824 Speaker 2: that this is like a worthy competitor and she's actually 350 00:16:03,824 --> 00:16:06,184 Speaker 2: having a lot of fun with her, and it was 351 00:16:06,184 --> 00:16:09,424 Speaker 2: like actually pushing her to be better at her job, 352 00:16:09,424 --> 00:16:11,424 Speaker 2: which I don't think the Queen had in like years 353 00:16:11,464 --> 00:16:13,824 Speaker 2: to come. She had a performance She's like, this is 354 00:16:13,824 --> 00:16:15,704 Speaker 2: the first time someone's actually stood up to me, and 355 00:16:15,744 --> 00:16:17,464 Speaker 2: they can stand up to me because I actually don't 356 00:16:17,464 --> 00:16:18,024 Speaker 2: know who it is. 357 00:16:18,264 --> 00:16:18,304 Speaker 3: No. 358 00:16:18,424 --> 00:16:20,184 Speaker 1: I did like all the sentiment a and how it 359 00:16:20,224 --> 00:16:22,784 Speaker 1: played out. I just thought maybe the pacing was a 360 00:16:22,824 --> 00:16:25,344 Speaker 1: little off to at the end. That felt like such 361 00:16:25,384 --> 00:16:27,224 Speaker 1: a big moment and such a big reveal, and I 362 00:16:27,264 --> 00:16:28,824 Speaker 1: know there was a build up to it, but I 363 00:16:28,864 --> 00:16:30,744 Speaker 1: feel like it could have been the centerpiece of its 364 00:16:30,784 --> 00:16:33,864 Speaker 1: own episode, just hooked on that, whereas in that last 365 00:16:33,864 --> 00:16:37,024 Speaker 1: episode there was just so much packed in in terms 366 00:16:37,024 --> 00:16:39,344 Speaker 1: of like the reveal where all the other characters are 367 00:16:39,464 --> 00:16:42,144 Speaker 1: the aftermath of their wedding and then trying to get 368 00:16:42,144 --> 00:16:43,544 Speaker 1: everyone's happy endings. 369 00:16:43,424 --> 00:16:44,824 Speaker 2: Too much like ending arcs. 370 00:16:44,864 --> 00:16:46,664 Speaker 1: And yeah, it was like the last is like the 371 00:16:46,744 --> 00:16:48,464 Speaker 1: last Lord of the Rings movie, where it keeps ending 372 00:16:48,544 --> 00:16:50,944 Speaker 1: every year and another ending starts and it ends again, 373 00:16:50,984 --> 00:16:52,904 Speaker 1: and so that's my only thought. I loved the power play, 374 00:16:52,904 --> 00:16:55,344 Speaker 1: and I I am so interested to see going forward, 375 00:16:55,584 --> 00:16:57,624 Speaker 1: even though we're not getting New bridgeton for like two 376 00:16:57,664 --> 00:16:59,784 Speaker 1: more years, so who knows where we'll be in the 377 00:16:59,784 --> 00:17:01,944 Speaker 1: world then. But I do like the way how it's 378 00:17:01,984 --> 00:17:05,584 Speaker 1: set up of Penelope writing under her own name. Very 379 00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:08,664 Speaker 1: sad that Julie Andrews is no longer voicing Lady whistled Down. 380 00:17:08,664 --> 00:17:10,264 Speaker 2: You know, she's my favorite actress of all the time. 381 00:17:10,544 --> 00:17:11,344 Speaker 1: I think she's mine too. 382 00:17:12,464 --> 00:17:14,704 Speaker 2: That was so depressing when I found out that, like. 383 00:17:15,264 --> 00:17:17,184 Speaker 1: She's no longer she's out of a job because Lady 384 00:17:17,184 --> 00:17:20,304 Speaker 1: whistle Down has been unmasked. But the other big thing 385 00:17:20,464 --> 00:17:23,144 Speaker 1: to finish up the big reveal at the end was 386 00:17:23,144 --> 00:17:24,784 Speaker 1: a Francesca moment which I. 387 00:17:24,784 --> 00:17:27,024 Speaker 2: Feel like to be her season. 388 00:17:27,304 --> 00:17:29,064 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we don't know whose season is going 389 00:17:29,144 --> 00:17:30,984 Speaker 1: to be next, Like everyone's thinking it has to be 390 00:17:30,984 --> 00:17:34,024 Speaker 1: Benedict or Eloise, but I don't know because you set 391 00:17:34,064 --> 00:17:37,464 Speaker 1: that up. The end was so hugely set up for 392 00:17:37,664 --> 00:17:41,184 Speaker 1: Francesca's book, so if you kind of missed that small moment, 393 00:17:41,264 --> 00:17:43,504 Speaker 1: it's Francesco at the end standing with her new husband, 394 00:17:43,584 --> 00:17:48,424 Speaker 1: John Sterling, and she's introduced to his cousin, Michaylas Sterling, 395 00:17:48,624 --> 00:17:52,144 Speaker 1: which you've read the books. Huge plot twists because in 396 00:17:52,184 --> 00:17:54,984 Speaker 1: the books they've done a gender swap, and so it's 397 00:17:55,104 --> 00:17:58,944 Speaker 1: Michael Sterling in the books and slight spot do you 398 00:17:58,944 --> 00:18:00,024 Speaker 1: want to know spite sweeler, I. 399 00:18:00,024 --> 00:18:00,544 Speaker 2: Know the spoiler. 400 00:18:00,664 --> 00:18:02,504 Speaker 1: You spoiler, Okay, if anyone cover your ears for a 401 00:18:02,584 --> 00:18:05,344 Speaker 1: second if you don't want to know this. Francesca's husband 402 00:18:05,744 --> 00:18:07,944 Speaker 1: that she is just married in the book at least 403 00:18:08,584 --> 00:18:11,544 Speaker 1: does not survive very long into their marriage. I'm trying 404 00:18:11,624 --> 00:18:13,904 Speaker 1: not to say too much. And so she then has 405 00:18:13,984 --> 00:18:17,584 Speaker 1: another great love story which is beautiful with Michael Sterling. 406 00:18:17,664 --> 00:18:20,904 Speaker 2: Yes, but Michael is not there in the series. Michael 407 00:18:20,944 --> 00:18:24,224 Speaker 2: is instead Mikayla. So it's like the series as a 408 00:18:24,304 --> 00:18:26,024 Speaker 2: learned that Francesca is not. 409 00:18:26,024 --> 00:18:28,784 Speaker 1: Straight well exactly. And this is the wild thing because 410 00:18:28,904 --> 00:18:32,384 Speaker 1: Julie Quinn, who wrote the books, the one big thing 411 00:18:32,504 --> 00:18:35,024 Speaker 1: that when Netflix and Shonda Rhimes wanted to adapt her work, 412 00:18:35,104 --> 00:18:36,784 Speaker 1: the one big thing that she had written to her 413 00:18:36,784 --> 00:18:39,224 Speaker 1: contract is that they could make changes and they could 414 00:18:39,224 --> 00:18:41,544 Speaker 1: swap storylines around, which they've done, like there's so many 415 00:18:41,544 --> 00:18:43,744 Speaker 1: differences to the book and the TV show, But the 416 00:18:43,784 --> 00:18:45,904 Speaker 1: one thing she said that they weren't allowed to touch 417 00:18:45,984 --> 00:18:48,664 Speaker 1: was any of the final couples. So Daphnie and Simon 418 00:18:48,744 --> 00:18:51,584 Speaker 1: had to be together, Kate and Anthony had to be together, 419 00:18:51,664 --> 00:18:55,104 Speaker 1: and so on and so forth, and so this is 420 00:18:55,264 --> 00:18:58,104 Speaker 1: quite a big spot. And it's something interesting that the showrunner, 421 00:18:58,384 --> 00:19:01,784 Speaker 1: Jess Branew, confirmed that she had been pushing for a 422 00:19:01,864 --> 00:19:05,024 Speaker 1: queer storyline in the Bridgeton world for a long time, 423 00:19:05,104 --> 00:19:06,824 Speaker 1: and I was very vocal being to people like that's 424 00:19:06,824 --> 00:19:09,104 Speaker 1: just not going to happen. It can't because the final 425 00:19:09,144 --> 00:19:10,344 Speaker 1: couples are set in stone. 426 00:19:10,624 --> 00:19:13,104 Speaker 2: So this is kind of a way they're still having 427 00:19:13,144 --> 00:19:15,384 Speaker 2: the same characters but making the characters slightly. 428 00:19:15,464 --> 00:19:15,624 Speaker 4: Yes. 429 00:19:15,664 --> 00:19:18,544 Speaker 1: Yes, because Julia Quinn has signed off and said she's 430 00:19:18,584 --> 00:19:20,864 Speaker 1: happy with the gender sole love that, and so it's 431 00:19:20,904 --> 00:19:24,104 Speaker 1: differently because like the world of Bridgeton is very they 432 00:19:24,104 --> 00:19:26,144 Speaker 1: don't seem to have the same rules in some cases 433 00:19:26,144 --> 00:19:28,384 Speaker 1: as society back then did. But there's still the rules 434 00:19:28,384 --> 00:19:30,584 Speaker 1: of you can't marry someone or be with someone of 435 00:19:30,584 --> 00:19:32,464 Speaker 1: the same sex. So it's kind of a dangerous but 436 00:19:32,584 --> 00:19:35,824 Speaker 1: interesting storyline at that time to introduce. And that's why 437 00:19:35,864 --> 00:19:38,824 Speaker 1: you had that moment when Francesca met Michaela. She forgets 438 00:19:38,824 --> 00:19:41,664 Speaker 1: her actual name, she can't speak, she's so throwing, and 439 00:19:41,704 --> 00:19:45,224 Speaker 1: so it's setting up their future relationship, which I love, 440 00:19:45,384 --> 00:19:48,144 Speaker 1: but I'm so interested in how they're going to do it. 441 00:19:48,184 --> 00:19:50,024 Speaker 1: But like, what a great plot twist to end on 442 00:19:50,384 --> 00:19:52,664 Speaker 1: season three. Bridgesen is on Netflix, if that's not clear, 443 00:19:52,704 --> 00:19:54,584 Speaker 1: and let us know your thoughts. We would love to 444 00:19:54,624 --> 00:20:01,384 Speaker 1: know what you thought of this seasons the Weekend Watch. 445 00:20:02,904 --> 00:20:05,864 Speaker 2: Even though we gave you one brilliant recommendation on Netflix, 446 00:20:05,904 --> 00:20:09,224 Speaker 2: we also still have weekend Watch. You're welcome. These are 447 00:20:09,224 --> 00:20:11,264 Speaker 2: the shows that we I need to watch this weekend 448 00:20:11,264 --> 00:20:13,464 Speaker 2: and then you can DM us and talk about it. 449 00:20:13,784 --> 00:20:17,944 Speaker 2: Mine is a bit of a gruesome action, dark comedy recommendation. 450 00:20:18,144 --> 00:20:20,944 Speaker 2: It is The Boys season four. It is now streaming 451 00:20:20,984 --> 00:20:23,584 Speaker 2: on Prime Video. If you don't know what The Boys is, 452 00:20:23,704 --> 00:20:27,424 Speaker 2: think like an R rated version of The Adventures? 453 00:20:27,544 --> 00:20:29,024 Speaker 1: Would you say absolutely? 454 00:20:29,984 --> 00:20:33,584 Speaker 3: I look back at my life and all I see 455 00:20:35,024 --> 00:20:38,944 Speaker 3: and a messages on mate, and I ain't got time 456 00:20:38,944 --> 00:20:42,304 Speaker 3: to fix it and then do it one thing right 457 00:20:43,744 --> 00:20:47,424 Speaker 3: with the time I got left. I can't do it alone. 458 00:20:51,544 --> 00:20:55,504 Speaker 3: I can't do with that change. 459 00:20:55,904 --> 00:21:00,504 Speaker 4: This country is corrupt beyond repair, so we gotta save it. 460 00:21:00,904 --> 00:21:04,304 Speaker 3: Bring It's not going to be easy. 461 00:21:04,504 --> 00:21:07,024 Speaker 2: I have to do some terrible things for the greed good. 462 00:21:07,264 --> 00:21:09,904 Speaker 2: I think it is probably one of the most realistic 463 00:21:09,944 --> 00:21:13,024 Speaker 2: depicture of what our world would actually look like if 464 00:21:13,264 --> 00:21:17,264 Speaker 2: superpowers existed, like if there were superhumans, Like how our 465 00:21:17,264 --> 00:21:20,184 Speaker 2: every day would look like, how our schooling would look like, 466 00:21:20,464 --> 00:21:22,264 Speaker 2: how a political system would look like the. 467 00:21:22,224 --> 00:21:24,224 Speaker 1: Political commentary on this show. 468 00:21:24,344 --> 00:21:25,664 Speaker 2: So I think people. 469 00:21:25,384 --> 00:21:27,344 Speaker 1: Write it off because it's a superhero show, but it 470 00:21:27,464 --> 00:21:29,344 Speaker 1: is so nuanced and so interesting. 471 00:21:29,504 --> 00:21:31,704 Speaker 2: It also, which I'm a bit embarrassed to say, has 472 00:21:31,704 --> 00:21:34,104 Speaker 2: helped me understand the US political system. 473 00:21:34,184 --> 00:21:36,464 Speaker 1: No, that's not embarrassing. These writers are They know what 474 00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:36,984 Speaker 1: they're doing. 475 00:21:37,544 --> 00:21:40,504 Speaker 2: It is so good, but yes, warning, it is extremely 476 00:21:40,624 --> 00:21:44,064 Speaker 2: violent and gruesome. It stars one of my favorite NEPO babies. 477 00:21:44,184 --> 00:21:47,304 Speaker 2: Jack Wait, yeah, we'll let that one slide. So yeah, 478 00:21:47,384 --> 00:21:49,544 Speaker 2: son of Meg Ryan and Denize. Yes, but he's great. 479 00:21:49,544 --> 00:21:49,944 Speaker 1: It's fine. 480 00:21:49,984 --> 00:21:52,784 Speaker 2: He's good. But also has Chase Crawford, which he is 481 00:21:53,184 --> 00:21:55,384 Speaker 2: so weird and funny and I think he plays his 482 00:21:55,464 --> 00:22:00,464 Speaker 2: character brilliantly. Anthony Star, Carl Urban, Aaron Moriarty. The cast 483 00:22:00,544 --> 00:22:03,104 Speaker 2: is massive and super talented, but because it is a gruesome, 484 00:22:03,184 --> 00:22:05,064 Speaker 2: a lot of them like die off, so I can't 485 00:22:05,104 --> 00:22:07,664 Speaker 2: list them all, but they're not all really really good. 486 00:22:08,024 --> 00:22:09,704 Speaker 2: I'm super obsessed. I don't know a lot of women 487 00:22:09,744 --> 00:22:11,384 Speaker 2: who watch this, so if you do watch this, please 488 00:22:11,464 --> 00:22:12,904 Speaker 2: let me know because I need someone to talk about 489 00:22:12,904 --> 00:22:14,824 Speaker 2: it with. All Right, well mine is. I mean, look, 490 00:22:16,304 --> 00:22:18,624 Speaker 2: we were talking about Laura's this morning. I can't stop laughing. 491 00:22:18,664 --> 00:22:20,744 Speaker 1: I was having a bit of a breakdown because I 492 00:22:20,784 --> 00:22:22,384 Speaker 1: didn't want to tell you about all the other big 493 00:22:22,424 --> 00:22:23,864 Speaker 1: shows that are out, like House of the Dragon, Like 494 00:22:23,904 --> 00:22:26,784 Speaker 1: you guys know before we still recommend it. We might 495 00:22:26,824 --> 00:22:28,544 Speaker 1: still recommend it, but I was like, yes, I don't 496 00:22:28,544 --> 00:22:30,184 Speaker 1: want you to be like yes, Laura, we know. So 497 00:22:30,304 --> 00:22:32,304 Speaker 1: I'm going with something that you might not always out 498 00:22:32,344 --> 00:22:34,784 Speaker 1: but has been out for close to twenty years, but 499 00:22:34,904 --> 00:22:38,384 Speaker 1: there's a new season. So the new season of Criminal Minds, 500 00:22:38,424 --> 00:22:40,944 Speaker 1: if you can lave, it's still going well.
