Speaker 1: of this movie coming out for everyone. This Wicked for

00:00:48,104 --> 00:00:49,784
Speaker 1: Good is in cinemas next week.

11
00:00:50,104 --> 00:00:54,184
Speaker 2: I am so so excited the second and final part

12
00:00:54,504 --> 00:00:55,464
Speaker 2: of Wicked.

13
00:00:56,064 --> 00:00:59,944
Speaker 1: After the intermission, Yes, the year long intermission between movies,

14
00:00:59,984 --> 00:01:01,784
Speaker 1: which I know I was critical at the time, but

15
00:01:01,864 --> 00:01:04,544
Speaker 1: I haven't been a full year pretty much. Yeah, oh

16
00:01:04,584 --> 00:01:07,224
Speaker 1: my god, can you believe this time last year? We

17
00:01:07,224 --> 00:01:09,624
Speaker 1: were sitting at the State Theater together with Cynthia Rivo

18
00:01:09,664 --> 00:01:12,864
Speaker 1: and Ariana They sitting next quite next to us, Yeah,

19
00:01:12,984 --> 00:01:15,224
Speaker 1: watching them on stage, and then you're yelling at me

20
00:01:15,264 --> 00:01:17,144
Speaker 1: for crying so hard and making the seat shape.

21
00:01:17,184 --> 00:01:19,024
Speaker 2: I mean I did cry a little bit too, but yeah,

22
00:01:19,024 --> 00:01:19,624
Speaker 2: that as much.

23
00:01:19,824 --> 00:01:22,584
Speaker 1: No, no, sorry, it's twenty years build up. We're not

24
00:01:22,584 --> 00:01:25,064
Speaker 1: talking about Wicked today because we have seen the movie

25
00:01:25,104 --> 00:01:26,784
Speaker 1: at the stage by the time you hear this, but

26
00:01:26,944 --> 00:01:29,664
Speaker 1: we're not going to say anything quite yet. But in

27
00:01:29,704 --> 00:01:31,544
Speaker 1: the lead up to it, it's got us thinking about

28
00:01:31,584 --> 00:01:33,664
Speaker 1: what is at the heart of Wicked, why people flock

29
00:01:33,744 --> 00:01:37,904
Speaker 1: to it. Yes, the amazing stage show and the special

30
00:01:37,944 --> 00:01:40,464
Speaker 1: effects in the movie. Yes, the songs are top tier

31
00:01:40,584 --> 00:01:43,544
Speaker 1: best songs in the world. I'll fight anyone on that. Yes,

32
00:01:43,624 --> 00:01:48,624
Speaker 1: the love story is incredible. But at the end, yeah,

33
00:01:48,744 --> 00:01:52,224
Speaker 1: especially this second part of the movie. But really, at

34
00:01:52,224 --> 00:01:53,864
Speaker 1: the end of the day, what I've always said, people

35
00:01:53,904 --> 00:01:56,464
Speaker 1: flock to Wicked, and what makes it so different from

36
00:01:56,504 --> 00:01:59,224
Speaker 1: so many other musicals and even movies is that at

37
00:01:59,344 --> 00:02:04,064
Speaker 1: its heart it's this beautiful, complicated, life changing I would

38
00:02:04,104 --> 00:02:06,824
Speaker 1: hesitate to say story about female friendship.

39
00:02:07,104 --> 00:02:09,864
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just like one of those movies that I

40
00:02:09,864 --> 00:02:13,024
Speaker 2: feel like so many young girls will watch and they'll

41
00:02:13,144 --> 00:02:15,184
Speaker 2: just be like, this is like the movie that was

42
00:02:15,744 --> 00:02:18,504
Speaker 2: the catalyst of like how they want their friendships to

43
00:02:18,784 --> 00:02:20,904
Speaker 2: turn out when they got older. I feel like a

44
00:02:20,904 --> 00:02:23,264
Speaker 2: lot of people have that like definding moment when they're

45
00:02:23,304 --> 00:02:25,984
Speaker 2: young and like what they want their adult friendships to

46
00:02:25,984 --> 00:02:28,064
Speaker 2: look like. And I feel like this movie in particular,

47
00:02:28,504 --> 00:02:30,784
Speaker 2: because so many people don't have access to theater, I

48
00:02:30,824 --> 00:02:32,584
Speaker 2: think this movie in particular will be that for the

49
00:02:32,624 --> 00:02:33,384
Speaker 2: younger generation.

50
00:02:33,904 --> 00:02:36,304
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just that idea of like a female friendship

51
00:02:36,304 --> 00:02:39,184
Speaker 1: that really changes you, as it says in the movie,

52
00:02:39,544 --> 00:02:41,504
Speaker 1: because of you, I have been changed for the better.

53
00:02:41,544 --> 00:02:44,464
Speaker 1: I've been changed for good. That's a song in the second.

54
00:02:44,144 --> 00:02:45,464
Speaker 2: Movie crying again.

55
00:02:45,544 --> 00:02:45,744
Speaker 1: Yeah.

56
00:02:45,744 --> 00:02:47,424
Speaker 2: Actually, I know I can feel it.

57
00:02:47,424 --> 00:02:49,944
Speaker 1: I feel I want to move on really quickly because

58
00:02:49,944 --> 00:02:51,984
Speaker 1: God knows, there's plenty of crying for me on this

59
00:02:52,024 --> 00:02:54,784
Speaker 1: podcast about Wicked to Come. So in celebration of that,

60
00:02:54,904 --> 00:02:58,344
Speaker 1: today we wanted to make this episode about the best

61
00:02:58,464 --> 00:03:03,184
Speaker 1: movies that depict female friendship. So movies that, yes, they

62
00:03:03,224 --> 00:03:04,784
Speaker 1: have a bit of romance in them, because you know,

63
00:03:04,864 --> 00:03:06,624
Speaker 1: so many movies do, but at the end of the day,

64
00:03:06,944 --> 00:03:11,544
Speaker 1: they're about two women coming together and really changing each lives. Yeah,

65
00:03:11,584 --> 00:03:14,064
Speaker 1: and there are even though I feel like female friendship

66
00:03:14,104 --> 00:03:18,744
Speaker 1: isn't something that's depicted in movies enough or sometimes very well,

67
00:03:19,104 --> 00:03:21,464
Speaker 1: there are a few movie there's a handful of movies

68
00:03:21,464 --> 00:03:22,904
Speaker 1: out there that I think really get it right.

69
00:03:23,264 --> 00:03:25,864
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel like it's getting better and better,

70
00:03:25,984 --> 00:03:28,264
Speaker 2: Like I feel like more people are invested in female

71
00:03:28,304 --> 00:03:30,624
Speaker 2: friendships now, and there's like a lot of more focus

72
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:34,744
Speaker 2: on female friendships as rom comms and as romantic storylines

73
00:03:34,824 --> 00:03:39,864
Speaker 2: rather than the traditional like heterosexual relationship. Yes, absolutely, so

74
00:03:39,944 --> 00:03:42,704
Speaker 2: we picked our favorite movies. How many do you have?

75
00:03:42,904 --> 00:03:45,424
Speaker 1: I have three? I have three two and we haven't

76
00:03:45,464 --> 00:03:48,384
Speaker 1: said which ones they are. No, I don't think there's

77
00:03:48,424 --> 00:03:50,344
Speaker 1: one of mine will double up on, but we'll see.

78
00:03:50,744 --> 00:03:51,864
Speaker 2: Oh do you want to go first?

79
00:03:52,144 --> 00:03:54,024
Speaker 1: Okay, but I'm sad with saving that one till the end.

80
00:03:55,104 --> 00:03:56,464
Speaker 2: But what if it's mine?

81
00:03:56,624 --> 00:03:58,424
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, I'll say the movie, and I think that

82
00:03:58,504 --> 00:04:00,104
Speaker 1: we're both going to say.

83
00:04:00,424 --> 00:04:03,944
Speaker 2: I know when I put this one in mind, I'm

84
00:04:03,984 --> 00:04:04,264
Speaker 2: all right.

85
00:04:04,304 --> 00:04:05,624
Speaker 1: Shall we come on the count of three? Shall we

86
00:04:05,624 --> 00:04:06,424
Speaker 1: say it at the same time?

87
00:04:07,944 --> 00:04:08,184
Speaker 2: Different?

88
00:04:08,184 --> 00:04:10,664
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see ready one, two, three? Books?

89
00:04:10,664 --> 00:04:12,184
Speaker 2: Plot? Yeah, I knew it.

90
00:04:12,304 --> 00:04:13,104
Speaker 1: I knew it.

91
00:04:14,064 --> 00:04:18,504
Speaker 2: I knew it. Okay, sarrying Beanie Felstein and our fave

92
00:04:18,664 --> 00:04:22,104
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Diva. They're both our faves. Actually, Molly and Amy

93
00:04:22,584 --> 00:04:25,504
Speaker 2: they are. Okay, let me do the plot, please do?

94
00:04:26,064 --> 00:04:29,384
Speaker 2: They are high school students. They're in their final year

95
00:04:29,424 --> 00:04:31,704
Speaker 2: of high school. In the US, I still get their

96
00:04:31,744 --> 00:04:34,304
Speaker 2: systems confused with our systems. But they're in the final

97
00:04:34,464 --> 00:04:37,504
Speaker 2: year of high school. They're going into university, and in

98
00:04:37,544 --> 00:04:40,024
Speaker 2: the US you all go to different colleges all the time.

99
00:04:40,424 --> 00:04:43,664
Speaker 2: They're like nerdy nerdy girls like they're I think Beanie's

100
00:04:43,664 --> 00:04:47,304
Speaker 2: like class president, Kaitlyn Diva is like her best friend.

101
00:04:47,904 --> 00:04:50,624
Speaker 2: And then they find out that they were nerds for

102
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:53,864
Speaker 2: no reason, like they skipped all of the college parties,

103
00:04:53,944 --> 00:04:56,904
Speaker 2: they didn't rebel out, and they realized it was for

104
00:04:56,944 --> 00:04:59,784
Speaker 2: no reason because all of the other kids who did

105
00:04:59,824 --> 00:05:01,784
Speaker 2: rebel out and did go to college parties and didn't

106
00:05:01,784 --> 00:05:03,464
Speaker 2: study as much as they did are going to the

107
00:05:03,504 --> 00:05:05,304
Speaker 2: exact same colleges that they are.

108
00:05:06,024 --> 00:05:09,584
Speaker 1: This movie is incredible for so many reasons, but just

109
00:05:09,584 --> 00:05:12,984
Speaker 1: that set up, we should say, directed by Olivia Wilde

110
00:05:13,024 --> 00:05:16,224
Speaker 1: in her directorial debut, and whenever people had.

111
00:05:16,144 --> 00:05:17,544
Speaker 2: Such a soft opening, didn't it.

112
00:05:17,624 --> 00:05:18,984
Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons I told about this

113
00:05:18,984 --> 00:05:21,584
Speaker 1: movie so much. It did have a really bad opening.

114
00:05:21,624 --> 00:05:23,384
Speaker 1: It's gone on to be like a very cult classic.

115
00:05:23,464 --> 00:05:25,664
Speaker 1: But and this is also why I like to defend

116
00:05:25,664 --> 00:05:28,184
Speaker 1: Olivia wild sometimes and people shit on don't worry Darling,

117
00:05:28,224 --> 00:05:29,784
Speaker 1: which I think it was a bad movie. It just

118
00:05:29,824 --> 00:05:32,304
Speaker 1: needed a different end. And sometimes things don't work out.

119
00:05:32,704 --> 00:05:35,744
Speaker 1: But she did an incredible job with this, and she

120
00:05:35,944 --> 00:05:37,504
Speaker 1: really championedo this movie.

121
00:05:37,624 --> 00:05:40,384
Speaker 2: This is such they get a gloody good movie. Oh,

122
00:05:40,664 --> 00:05:41,984
Speaker 2: I think I watch it once a year.

123
00:05:42,064 --> 00:05:44,224
Speaker 1: There's very few movies I would call a perfect movie,

124
00:05:44,224 --> 00:05:45,984
Speaker 1: but this is one of them. And yeah, so the

125
00:05:46,024 --> 00:05:48,784
Speaker 1: weekend it came out, I think, like we were very

126
00:05:48,824 --> 00:05:51,864
Speaker 1: excited about it came out twenty nineteen, But I don't

127
00:05:51,904 --> 00:05:54,024
Speaker 1: think it was one of those releases. Yeah, I know,

128
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,504
Speaker 1: I looked that up. Twenty nineteen.

129
00:05:55,864 --> 00:05:59,464
Speaker 2: You know, that was the first screening I've ever gone to, really,

130
00:05:59,624 --> 00:06:02,024
Speaker 2: and you gave me tickets to, did I? Yeah, it

131
00:06:02,064 --> 00:06:04,384
Speaker 2: wasn't like a premiere. It was like just a screen

132
00:06:04,504 --> 00:06:06,944
Speaker 2: like an early preview, but still free tickets. And I

133
00:06:06,984 --> 00:06:10,104
Speaker 2: took my mom and we were in this theater and

134
00:06:10,144 --> 00:06:12,104
Speaker 2: we had like a little popcorner drink. It was very

135
00:06:12,104 --> 00:06:13,904
Speaker 2: glamorous for us when I was sitting in the theater

136
00:06:14,784 --> 00:06:18,584
Speaker 2: cry laughing, like we were both dying. Like everyone in

137
00:06:18,624 --> 00:06:21,824
Speaker 2: the theater was just like in hysterics throughout the whole movie,

138
00:06:21,864 --> 00:06:23,104
Speaker 2: because that's how funny it is.

139
00:06:23,304 --> 00:06:25,224
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's only one other movie I feel

140
00:06:25,224 --> 00:06:27,544
Speaker 1: like I've had that experience in where everyone is just

141
00:06:27,624 --> 00:06:30,184
Speaker 1: screaming in laughter at the same time at a movie

142
00:06:30,184 --> 00:06:32,184
Speaker 1: theater in the last couple of years, and that's Bottoms,

143
00:06:32,464 --> 00:06:34,464
Speaker 1: which has a very similar Maybe it was just since

144
00:06:34,464 --> 00:06:36,624
Speaker 1: we have won the same thing, we just throw Bottoms

145
00:06:36,664 --> 00:06:41,664
Speaker 1: in it bottom as another movie about female friendship. But yeah,

146
00:06:41,784 --> 00:06:45,264
Speaker 1: it came out that weekend in twenty nineteen and Olivia

147
00:06:45,304 --> 00:06:48,264
Speaker 1: Wilde jumped on Twitter and I think really put like

148
00:06:48,424 --> 00:06:50,784
Speaker 1: humility or anything aside and was just like, hey, guys,

149
00:06:51,104 --> 00:06:53,304
Speaker 1: no one is seeing this movie. Please go to the

150
00:06:53,344 --> 00:06:56,184
Speaker 1: movies and see it. Please see it in the opening weekend.

151
00:06:56,264 --> 00:06:58,544
Speaker 1: I think she said, we're getting creamed by the big guys,

152
00:06:58,944 --> 00:07:02,264
Speaker 1: Like this tweeter isn't like in my mind forever, because

153
00:07:02,304 --> 00:07:04,784
Speaker 1: she was just like, the opening weekend means everything, and

154
00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:06,864
Speaker 1: this movie is making no money. And half of that

155
00:07:06,984 --> 00:07:09,584
Speaker 1: is because, like I guess, Beanie Feldstein and Caitlin Diava

156
00:07:09,864 --> 00:07:12,944
Speaker 1: weren't really household names at the time. Caitlyn diver came

157
00:07:12,984 --> 00:07:15,864
Speaker 1: at touch with the script with the character, and Olivia

158
00:07:15,864 --> 00:07:17,824
Speaker 1: wild wanted to keep her, which was the right choice.

159
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:21,304
Speaker 1: Beanie Feldstein wasn't a huge name at the time, and

160
00:07:21,424 --> 00:07:23,344
Speaker 1: so they just didn't feel like there was a reason

161
00:07:23,384 --> 00:07:24,984
Speaker 1: for people to turn out and see the movie, even

162
00:07:25,024 --> 00:07:29,344
Speaker 1: though it's got like this incredible supporting cars, like it became.

163
00:07:29,224 --> 00:07:32,144
Speaker 2: Like so much bigger after the movie. Yeah, but it's

164
00:07:32,264 --> 00:07:35,704
Speaker 2: just so bloody funny, and like the way they set

165
00:07:35,864 --> 00:07:40,144
Speaker 2: up their friendship, like that opening scene of like Beanie

166
00:07:40,184 --> 00:07:42,904
Speaker 2: coming out of her house and Caitlyn's like at the

167
00:07:42,904 --> 00:07:45,144
Speaker 2: car picking her up, and they just start dancing together

168
00:07:45,144 --> 00:07:47,144
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh my god, go you look fine,

169
00:07:47,224 --> 00:07:48,504
Speaker 2: and it's just so cute.

170
00:07:48,744 --> 00:07:50,664
Speaker 1: Dare you be so beautiful? And how dare you be

171
00:07:50,744 --> 00:07:52,824
Speaker 1: so gorgeous? And they dance for ages.

172
00:07:53,024 --> 00:07:55,304
Speaker 2: For ages and then they're like Malala, yeah.

173
00:07:55,344 --> 00:07:59,904
Speaker 1: Malala, And how Caitlyn's character is gay? And then they

174
00:08:00,144 --> 00:08:02,624
Speaker 1: parents think she and Beanie are together, and like Beanie

175
00:08:02,784 --> 00:08:06,064
Speaker 1: really leads into it. Her mum's Lisa Kudra, right, yeah, yeah,

176
00:08:06,104 --> 00:08:07,984
Speaker 1: and she's like, you guys gonna have sleepover, like we're

177
00:08:07,984 --> 00:08:09,904
Speaker 1: gonna try some hot masks and she's like is in

178
00:08:10,024 --> 00:08:11,624
Speaker 1: like face and she's like I don't need to know

179
00:08:11,624 --> 00:08:14,824
Speaker 1: all the words, but yeah, that moment where they're in

180
00:08:14,864 --> 00:08:17,504
Speaker 1: the bathroom, and they find out it's Beanie's character who's

181
00:08:17,544 --> 00:08:20,184
Speaker 1: kind of saying like, yes, we've never gone to a party,

182
00:08:20,264 --> 00:08:22,624
Speaker 1: Yes you hate us, Yes we're losers, but at the

183
00:08:22,704 --> 00:08:24,304
Speaker 1: end of the day, like we're going off to be

184
00:08:24,344 --> 00:08:26,224
Speaker 1: successful and you're all going to be stuck in this

185
00:08:26,304 --> 00:08:29,224
Speaker 1: tiny town. And then it's Molly Gordon, who plays the

186
00:08:29,304 --> 00:08:33,544
Speaker 1: popular girl who's Beanie's childhood friend. It's Beanie, Molly Gordon,

187
00:08:33,584 --> 00:08:35,824
Speaker 1: and Ben Platt that all went to high school together

188
00:08:35,864 --> 00:08:38,184
Speaker 1: and are best friends. Who says to her, well, I'm

189
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:38,824
Speaker 1: going to yell.

190
00:08:38,704 --> 00:08:41,544
Speaker 2: As well, and she's like, what in our whole world

191
00:08:41,624 --> 00:08:42,224
Speaker 2: just changes?

192
00:08:42,384 --> 00:08:44,024
Speaker 1: What's that line? She goes, yeah, I give a good

193
00:08:44,064 --> 00:08:46,504
Speaker 1: hand job, but I also got like a seven sixty

194
00:08:46,504 --> 00:08:48,144
Speaker 1: on my SATs.

195
00:08:48,864 --> 00:08:51,064
Speaker 2: Cause her name was like a nickname for like hand jobs,

196
00:08:51,104 --> 00:08:52,424
Speaker 2: Like it was such a rude name.

197
00:08:52,664 --> 00:08:54,344
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was awful. And she's like, yeah, I'm a slot.

198
00:08:54,384 --> 00:08:55,784
Speaker 1: I guess what, I'm super smart as well, and so

199
00:08:55,824 --> 00:08:58,344
Speaker 1: I'm gonna yell and I had the time of my life.

200
00:08:58,504 --> 00:09:02,384
Speaker 1: So then we have Kaitlyn Diever and Beanie Feldstein decide

201
00:09:02,384 --> 00:09:04,304
Speaker 1: that they're going to like put all their high school

202
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:08,464
Speaker 1: experiences into one night and go to this blowout party,

203
00:09:08,824 --> 00:09:10,664
Speaker 1: which then turns into one of those movies that it

204
00:09:10,704 --> 00:09:11,824
Speaker 1: all takes place in one night.

205
00:09:11,864 --> 00:09:13,504
Speaker 2: It all takes place in one night, and I think

206
00:09:13,504 --> 00:09:16,104
Speaker 2: there's like three parties and that's happening in the same

207
00:09:16,224 --> 00:09:19,384
Speaker 2: night by different groups in the high school. Like you

208
00:09:19,464 --> 00:09:21,144
Speaker 2: have like your drama nerd, and then you have your

209
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:23,464
Speaker 2: popular group, and then you have like the rich group.

210
00:09:23,824 --> 00:09:26,624
Speaker 2: And it's them like trying to get to each party

211
00:09:26,624 --> 00:09:28,224
Speaker 2: to figure out which is the best one. I'm about

212
00:09:28,264 --> 00:09:30,264
Speaker 2: to have fun. Like it's basically them trying to figure

213
00:09:30,264 --> 00:09:30,984
Speaker 2: out how to have fun.

214
00:09:31,224 --> 00:09:33,344
Speaker 1: And Billy Lord's in it, Oh my god, actually plays

215
00:09:33,504 --> 00:09:34,464
Speaker 1: the party girl.

216
00:09:34,624 --> 00:09:36,344
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's like a bit woo woo.

217
00:09:36,384 --> 00:09:39,704
Speaker 1: What about when they turn into dolls? You see them

218
00:09:39,744 --> 00:09:41,864
Speaker 1: go through like they've been each other's person all through

219
00:09:41,944 --> 00:09:45,104
Speaker 1: high school and they're in that moment where they just

220
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:47,464
Speaker 1: know that their friendship will never be the same because

221
00:09:47,544 --> 00:09:49,184
Speaker 1: as close as they are and they think that they'll

222
00:09:49,224 --> 00:09:52,144
Speaker 1: stay friends, they're going to different schools and they'll never

223
00:09:52,184 --> 00:09:54,744
Speaker 1: have that moment of being each other's person again. And

224
00:09:54,824 --> 00:09:57,024
Speaker 1: so they're also trying to have this night of memories,

225
00:09:57,064 --> 00:09:59,504
Speaker 1: but also like one's got a crush a guy, one's

226
00:09:59,504 --> 00:10:01,664
Speaker 1: got a crush a girl. They have a huge fight

227
00:10:01,704 --> 00:10:06,864
Speaker 1: and they have this moment of betrayal that my brutal,

228
00:10:07,424 --> 00:10:08,104
Speaker 1: so brutal.

229
00:10:08,384 --> 00:10:11,184
Speaker 2: It's probably the only scene that when I do rewatch,

230
00:10:11,224 --> 00:10:14,384
Speaker 2: I have to skip because it actually hurts my feelings.

231
00:10:15,664 --> 00:10:16,624
Speaker 1: It's almost too real.

232
00:10:16,784 --> 00:10:18,944
Speaker 2: It feels like you're the third friend and then you're

233
00:10:18,984 --> 00:10:19,904
Speaker 2: really sad when they fight.

234
00:10:20,144 --> 00:10:21,984
Speaker 1: It's almost like too real a fight because you always

235
00:10:21,984 --> 00:10:23,744
Speaker 1: remember that time you had to blow out with your

236
00:10:23,824 --> 00:10:26,224
Speaker 1: high school best friend and how it just felt like

237
00:10:26,264 --> 00:10:31,104
Speaker 1: the world is ending. Yeah, looks smart a good movie,

238
00:10:31,344 --> 00:10:32,384
Speaker 1: which is so funny.

239
00:10:32,464 --> 00:10:35,144
Speaker 2: They're scene in the taxi Jason Steakis is like the

240
00:10:35,264 --> 00:10:38,064
Speaker 2: taxi driver and they're like listening to porn and they

241
00:10:38,104 --> 00:10:42,024
Speaker 2: accidentally disconnect from their headphones. Yeah, and it's playing out loud.

242
00:10:42,464 --> 00:10:45,944
Speaker 1: Which is everyone else. Oh yeah, because Jason steaks and

243
00:10:46,024 --> 00:10:47,784
Speaker 1: Livia while we're together at the time, so he was

244
00:10:47,824 --> 00:10:48,584
Speaker 1: being supportive.

245
00:10:48,624 --> 00:10:51,744
Speaker 2: But it's all right, he's still there's still a movie.

246
00:10:51,824 --> 00:10:53,584
Speaker 1: It's a really good movie. So good.

247
00:10:55,144 --> 00:10:55,944
Speaker 2: Should I go next?

248
00:10:55,984 --> 00:10:56,464
Speaker 1: Yeah? You go?

249
00:10:56,864 --> 00:11:00,704
Speaker 2: Okay? The next movie is one that you've also seen, Okay,

250
00:11:01,064 --> 00:11:04,384
Speaker 2: and it's like a group of friends, but there's two

251
00:11:04,424 --> 00:11:09,064
Speaker 2: that stick out the most. It is Joy Ride. Yes,

252
00:11:09,624 --> 00:11:12,304
Speaker 2: oh my god, I love joy Rides so much. I

253
00:11:12,344 --> 00:11:14,464
Speaker 2: watch it over and over again. It's just so funny.

254
00:11:14,504 --> 00:11:17,904
Speaker 2: It's like very like slapstick physical comedy, but just so

255
00:11:17,904 --> 00:11:21,624
Speaker 2: so funny. So it stars Sherry Cohler and Ashley Park.

256
00:11:21,824 --> 00:11:25,864
Speaker 2: They play Lola and Audrey and they're two best friends

257
00:11:25,904 --> 00:11:30,344
Speaker 2: who have grown up together are currently living together. Audrey's

258
00:11:30,384 --> 00:11:33,904
Speaker 2: like this really fancy lawyer and Lola's like this, I

259
00:11:33,944 --> 00:11:37,504
Speaker 2: want to say, she's like an erotic sculptors that what

260
00:11:37,504 --> 00:11:41,144
Speaker 2: she is, like an artist. Audrey's parents, she's been adopted

261
00:11:41,584 --> 00:11:45,384
Speaker 2: and they're kind of like really really close. And there's

262
00:11:45,384 --> 00:11:47,464
Speaker 2: a big thing that's happening in Audrey's work where she

263
00:11:47,504 --> 00:11:49,944
Speaker 2: has to get this client for her law firm and

264
00:11:49,984 --> 00:11:52,104
Speaker 2: he lives in China, so her and Lola gone and

265
00:11:52,104 --> 00:11:55,144
Speaker 2: adventure to China to go find him, and then all

266
00:11:55,184 --> 00:11:59,384
Speaker 2: of this like weird, wild, like road trippy stuff takes place.

267
00:11:59,744 --> 00:12:05,064
Speaker 2: They meet up with Lolo's cousin, Dead Eye and Audrey's

268
00:12:05,064 --> 00:12:08,184
Speaker 2: best friend Kat, who's like an influencer, like a Christian influencer,

269
00:12:08,704 --> 00:12:11,984
Speaker 2: and then at the same time, Audrey finds out she's

270
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:14,344
Speaker 2: Korean and she wants to go find her birth parents,

271
00:12:14,344 --> 00:12:16,424
Speaker 2: and they're all going through this same thing with like

272
00:12:16,504 --> 00:12:19,144
Speaker 2: books one I think most like female friendships, Like they

273
00:12:19,144 --> 00:12:20,984
Speaker 2: come to a headpoint where they have this really really

274
00:12:21,064 --> 00:12:23,984
Speaker 2: big fight and the group kind of splits, and like

275
00:12:24,264 --> 00:12:26,784
Speaker 2: Audrey and Lola kind of in this big contention of

276
00:12:26,824 --> 00:12:29,224
Speaker 2: like what they want from each other in this friendship

277
00:12:29,224 --> 00:12:31,944
Speaker 2: and how they can move forward with such different futures,

278
00:12:32,384 --> 00:12:34,344
Speaker 2: and then they always come together. But it's just like

279
00:12:34,344 --> 00:12:37,704
Speaker 2: one of those fun like friendship road trip movies where

280
00:12:37,704 --> 00:12:41,504
Speaker 2: they're just like traveling across China and Korea and it's

281
00:12:41,624 --> 00:12:43,224
Speaker 2: just so so fun.

282
00:12:43,504 --> 00:12:45,664
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have that situation and again you see

283
00:12:45,704 --> 00:12:48,464
Speaker 1: the movies that friends after high school where they are

284
00:12:48,504 --> 00:12:51,184
Speaker 1: like are we actually friends? Or were we just put

285
00:12:51,224 --> 00:12:53,144
Speaker 1: together and we've grown up together? Which is a hard

286
00:12:53,144 --> 00:12:55,264
Speaker 1: thing to confront. Obviously they come past that, but they're like,

287
00:12:55,544 --> 00:12:57,784
Speaker 1: were we just the only two girls of Asian descent

288
00:12:57,944 --> 00:13:01,024
Speaker 1: because that's how they get paired up as friends? And

289
00:13:01,384 --> 00:13:03,584
Speaker 1: would we have we out growing each other as friends?

290
00:13:03,904 --> 00:13:06,624
Speaker 1: But also, fuck, that movie is just like a wild

291
00:13:06,824 --> 00:13:07,464
Speaker 1: fun watch.

292
00:13:07,584 --> 00:13:08,304
Speaker 2: It's so funny.

293
00:13:08,424 --> 00:13:10,944
Speaker 1: The suitcase is getting stolen, the where.

294
00:13:10,784 --> 00:13:14,424
Speaker 2: They sexually injure the basketball teaste so.

295
00:13:14,984 --> 00:13:17,544
Speaker 1: Good because they all have those wild nights of sex

296
00:13:17,584 --> 00:13:21,144
Speaker 1: about one hotel. Oh so good. But also I find

297
00:13:21,144 --> 00:13:23,344
Speaker 1: myself when you kind of find out what happened because

298
00:13:23,344 --> 00:13:25,544
Speaker 1: one of their characters. Without giving too much away for

299
00:13:25,584 --> 00:13:28,264
Speaker 1: anyone who hasn't seen it, because I highly highly recommend

300
00:13:28,464 --> 00:13:31,024
Speaker 1: anyone watched this movie. I love showing it to people,

301
00:13:31,064 --> 00:13:32,824
Speaker 1: like I've showed it to my sisters and some friends,

302
00:13:32,864 --> 00:13:34,744
Speaker 1: and it's one of those ones where it's such an

303
00:13:34,904 --> 00:13:38,104
Speaker 1: undercovered gem that when you're looking for a movie and

304
00:13:38,144 --> 00:13:40,464
Speaker 1: you say have you seen joy Ride? The person what

305
00:13:40,504 --> 00:13:42,584
Speaker 1: one hundred percent they know, and then you get to

306
00:13:42,624 --> 00:13:43,544
Speaker 1: show it to them, which.

307
00:13:43,384 --> 00:13:47,104
Speaker 2: Is everyone who I've like recommended it to loved it.

308
00:13:47,144 --> 00:13:48,904
Speaker 2: I remember how you did it for a weekend watch

309
00:13:48,984 --> 00:13:51,104
Speaker 2: one time, and then you told me you and your

310
00:13:51,104 --> 00:13:53,624
Speaker 2: sister watched it, and you guys are like cry laughing.

311
00:13:53,664 --> 00:13:56,304
Speaker 2: I'm like, that makes me feel so good, screaming with laughter.

312
00:13:56,344 --> 00:13:57,424
Speaker 2: It was it's so funny.

313
00:13:57,624 --> 00:13:59,544
Speaker 1: And then it also he has it has these wild

314
00:13:59,624 --> 00:14:01,944
Speaker 1: moments or when she shows the tattoo.

315
00:14:01,504 --> 00:14:05,824
Speaker 2: Off the tattoo scene, guys, I just want to say,

316
00:14:06,024 --> 00:14:08,224
Speaker 2: K pop is involved, that's what you need to know and.

317
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:11,544
Speaker 1: That's all you really mean and viral. Yeah, so important.

318
00:14:11,744 --> 00:14:14,264
Speaker 1: But it's also like it has these wild over the

319
00:14:14,304 --> 00:14:17,864
Speaker 1: top like sex or like body movement, all this kind

320
00:14:17,864 --> 00:14:20,024
Speaker 1: of stuff. But then it also really builds to this

321
00:14:20,704 --> 00:14:22,424
Speaker 1: scene that had tears in my eyes because you have

322
00:14:22,464 --> 00:14:25,344
Speaker 1: one character who's looking for her mum and that story

323
00:14:25,384 --> 00:14:27,584
Speaker 1: plays out, and then I think the way it all

324
00:14:27,664 --> 00:14:30,104
Speaker 1: ends with them together and where they are and the

325
00:14:30,144 --> 00:14:32,424
Speaker 1: next adventure they're planning is so beautiful.

326
00:14:32,504 --> 00:14:36,744
Speaker 2: It's friendship done really really well, with the like undertone

327
00:14:36,824 --> 00:14:40,024
Speaker 2: of like their cultural heritage and like how you can

328
00:14:40,064 --> 00:14:43,504
Speaker 2: be brought up so differently, like the nature versus nurture,

329
00:14:43,824 --> 00:14:45,904
Speaker 2: and I think that was done really well, but it

330
00:14:45,984 --> 00:14:47,584
Speaker 2: didn't take away from the comedy either.

331
00:14:48,384 --> 00:14:51,504
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so hard because there have been some really

332
00:14:51,504 --> 00:14:53,904
Speaker 1: great movies centered on female friendship in the last couple

333
00:14:53,904 --> 00:14:56,064
Speaker 1: of years. Because Joyride didn't do well at the box office,

334
00:14:56,424 --> 00:14:57,384
Speaker 1: which I hate.

335
00:14:57,464 --> 00:15:00,464
Speaker 2: I was literally scrolling on stand one day and it

336
00:15:00,584 --> 00:15:02,664
Speaker 2: just popped up and I was like, I know every

337
00:15:02,664 --> 00:15:05,784
Speaker 2: single actress in this movie, Like these are like massive stars.

338
00:15:06,144 --> 00:15:08,104
Speaker 1: Mindy from Emily in Paris. I mean the others are

339
00:15:08,104 --> 00:15:10,184
Speaker 1: all but obviously Eli in Paris.

340
00:15:10,344 --> 00:15:14,064
Speaker 2: It's like Sherry cole is from Nobody Wants This Stephanie Sue,

341
00:15:14,064 --> 00:15:16,464
Speaker 2: who's like in everything, everywhere, all at once, and this

342
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:18,864
Speaker 2: character and enjoy Right is so different to the characters

343
00:15:18,904 --> 00:15:21,704
Speaker 2: she played in that movie. Like we're having like a

344
00:15:21,904 --> 00:15:23,984
Speaker 2: list of celebrities in this movie. And it was just

345
00:15:24,184 --> 00:15:26,264
Speaker 2: I just happened to be scrolling on stand having nothing

346
00:15:26,304 --> 00:15:28,064
Speaker 2: to watch, and I saw this and I was like,

347
00:15:28,104 --> 00:15:29,984
Speaker 2: how I'm not heard of this? Clicked in it and

348
00:15:29,984 --> 00:15:32,024
Speaker 2: it was like the best time of my life. Yeah,

349
00:15:32,064 --> 00:15:34,264
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's like one of those gems. I just

350
00:15:34,304 --> 00:15:36,264
Speaker 2: should have been so much bigger than it was.

351
00:15:36,384 --> 00:15:38,424
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should have been like this huge hit, like

352
00:15:38,424 --> 00:15:41,024
Speaker 1: The Hangover that's spawn like four more movies.

353
00:15:41,024 --> 00:15:42,144
Speaker 2: As funny as a Hangover.

354
00:15:42,384 --> 00:15:45,704
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's so good. Well that's what I think about it.

355
00:15:45,744 --> 00:15:49,024
Speaker 1: And Dead High is so funny, so funny, it's hard

356
00:15:49,024 --> 00:15:52,024
Speaker 1: to even explained. But also, yeah, so it's like this

357
00:15:52,184 --> 00:15:55,024
Speaker 1: wild movie but also taps into female friendship in a way.

358
00:15:55,064 --> 00:15:56,264
Speaker 1: It also just makes you want to go on a

359
00:15:56,264 --> 00:15:58,944
Speaker 1: girl's trip with your friends. Yeah, not that intense, but.

360
00:15:59,184 --> 00:16:01,664
Speaker 2: I can't do what they did. It's too much for me.

361
00:16:02,184 --> 00:16:04,104
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of movies like that, like Bottoms

362
00:16:04,104 --> 00:16:06,344
Speaker 1: that we brought up before with Rachel Setter and Io.

363
00:16:06,464 --> 00:16:08,944
Speaker 1: Debris is one that I think about a lot because

364
00:16:08,944 --> 00:16:11,144
Speaker 1: I just think that should have gone on to be

365
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:12,544
Speaker 1: I know what was successful.

366
00:16:12,584 --> 00:16:13,064
Speaker 2: I don't know.

367
00:16:13,104 --> 00:16:16,384
Speaker 1: People liked it, but for what it was and how

368
00:16:16,464 --> 00:16:19,744
Speaker 1: fantastic it was and how funny it was, and how

369
00:16:19,784 --> 00:16:22,664
Speaker 1: it depicts female friendship and the relieve anyone who hasn't

370
00:16:22,664 --> 00:16:24,264
Speaker 1: seen it could or quick segway.

371
00:16:23,864 --> 00:16:24,984
Speaker 2: On yeah bottom yeah.

372
00:16:25,024 --> 00:16:27,504
Speaker 1: So Iowa Debris and Rachel sent It are high school

373
00:16:27,504 --> 00:16:29,984
Speaker 1: best friends and they start this rumor that they were

374
00:16:30,024 --> 00:16:34,544
Speaker 1: in Jubiu and they're like nerds, they're absolute nerds, and

375
00:16:34,584 --> 00:16:36,504
Speaker 1: they are also gay, and they want to hook up

376
00:16:36,504 --> 00:16:38,624
Speaker 1: with the hot girls at school and they can't find

377
00:16:38,624 --> 00:16:40,424
Speaker 1: a way to get an in with them. So they

378
00:16:40,464 --> 00:16:43,464
Speaker 1: start this self defense club as a wage.

379
00:16:43,064 --> 00:16:46,304
Speaker 2: From experience of their time in Jimmie and they never had.

380
00:16:46,424 --> 00:16:49,624
Speaker 1: They're like, you girls have to protect yourselves. Saying it loud,

381
00:16:49,624 --> 00:16:51,264
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound as good as it is, but like

382
00:16:51,304 --> 00:16:53,784
Speaker 1: it's so good, and so they start this self defense

383
00:16:53,824 --> 00:16:55,784
Speaker 1: club and not only does it get them a bit

384
00:16:55,824 --> 00:16:57,904
Speaker 1: closer to the girls they're in love with, It's also

385
00:16:57,984 --> 00:17:01,184
Speaker 1: Kaya Gerber's best role ten out of ten. Like I'm

386
00:17:01,224 --> 00:17:02,944
Speaker 1: not huge fan of her as an off a fan

387
00:17:02,984 --> 00:17:04,344
Speaker 1: of her as an actress.

388
00:17:03,984 --> 00:17:07,624
Speaker 2: But she acted in this like she acted she bought it,

389
00:17:07,664 --> 00:17:10,824
Speaker 2: Like I really liked her in this. Yeah, this movie

390
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:13,864
Speaker 2: is just so bloody funny because it's also so bizarre

391
00:17:14,344 --> 00:17:16,264
Speaker 2: at the same time. And they start like teaching the

392
00:17:16,304 --> 00:17:18,344
Speaker 2: self defense class, which is also kind of a mix

393
00:17:18,624 --> 00:17:21,304
Speaker 2: or a callback to fight club. All they're doing is

394
00:17:21,344 --> 00:17:22,544
Speaker 2: just beating the shit out.

395
00:17:22,384 --> 00:17:24,984
Speaker 1: Of each other exactly without telling anyone about it. It's

396
00:17:24,984 --> 00:17:27,424
Speaker 1: all for it. But they also at the same time like, yes,

397
00:17:27,464 --> 00:17:29,344
Speaker 1: it starts out as a way for these two girls

398
00:17:29,344 --> 00:17:32,224
Speaker 1: who are not the popular girls to hopefully like have

399
00:17:32,384 --> 00:17:34,504
Speaker 1: some body contact with these hot girls at school and

400
00:17:34,544 --> 00:17:36,584
Speaker 1: hook up with them, and one of them is successful.

401
00:17:36,944 --> 00:17:39,144
Speaker 1: But also they do become like this little family of

402
00:17:39,184 --> 00:17:41,784
Speaker 1: all the misfits at school and all these women coming together.

403
00:17:42,344 --> 00:17:45,624
Speaker 1: And the final scene on the football field, I was

404
00:17:45,744 --> 00:17:46,784
Speaker 1: literally on my note.

405
00:17:46,824 --> 00:17:49,344
Speaker 2: I didn't expect that. It's like a it's nearly a

406
00:17:49,424 --> 00:17:49,984
Speaker 2: jump scare.

407
00:17:50,424 --> 00:17:52,864
Speaker 1: I feel like we were just at one stage just screaming,

408
00:17:52,864 --> 00:17:54,744
Speaker 1: like we won't even laughing. We didn't expect it at

409
00:17:54,904 --> 00:17:57,344
Speaker 1: we passed laughter and went into screaming because it was

410
00:17:57,384 --> 00:17:57,944
Speaker 1: too much.

411
00:17:58,144 --> 00:18:00,624
Speaker 2: It's a movie that I've seen that like speaks about

412
00:18:00,984 --> 00:18:05,504
Speaker 2: the female rage at the forefront, Like it's so obvious

413
00:18:05,544 --> 00:18:08,184
Speaker 2: this movie is about like high school female rage, and

414
00:18:08,224 --> 00:18:10,904
Speaker 2: it's like you are seeing like all of these hormones

415
00:18:11,024 --> 00:18:15,184
Speaker 2: leave these women like physically into like this massive fight.

416
00:18:15,584 --> 00:18:18,504
Speaker 2: And I think it also shows how historically, like it's

417
00:18:18,544 --> 00:18:21,944
Speaker 2: been men movies and movies about boys and teenage boys

418
00:18:21,984 --> 00:18:24,424
Speaker 2: where they get into these big brawls, but showing that

419
00:18:24,424 --> 00:18:27,704
Speaker 2: there's so much like anger that women have to suppress

420
00:18:27,744 --> 00:18:30,464
Speaker 2: just from being women, and how that can also be

421
00:18:30,624 --> 00:18:34,224
Speaker 2: led out in a way that's so physical and violent

422
00:18:34,424 --> 00:18:36,944
Speaker 2: but still like being friends with each other.

423
00:18:37,264 --> 00:18:39,944
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's also so rare to have a high

424
00:18:39,984 --> 00:18:42,784
Speaker 1: school movie where at the center of it like pretty

425
00:18:42,864 --> 00:18:44,184
Speaker 1: much that in books a part of the main ones.

426
00:18:44,224 --> 00:18:45,904
Speaker 1: I guess there's a lot of movies about high school

427
00:18:45,904 --> 00:18:48,624
Speaker 1: best friends, but where like there's not a love story

428
00:18:48,664 --> 00:18:51,104
Speaker 1: at the center of it, Like there obviously are two

429
00:18:51,224 --> 00:18:53,344
Speaker 1: of the women in the group who kind of fall

430
00:18:53,384 --> 00:18:56,144
Speaker 1: in love, but it really is just about these girls

431
00:18:56,184 --> 00:18:59,984
Speaker 1: and their relationships, and this isn't Nichola Girls scenes in.

432
00:18:59,944 --> 00:19:02,304
Speaker 2: It, and like, he's like so hot, and I thought

433
00:19:02,344 --> 00:19:05,304
Speaker 2: he would be such a main character and he's literally not.

434
00:19:05,344 --> 00:19:06,984
Speaker 1: If anyone who doesn't know he's the hot guy in

435
00:19:07,024 --> 00:19:09,224
Speaker 1: the idea of you. Yeah, but also Red White and

436
00:19:09,344 --> 00:19:12,304
Speaker 1: Royal Blue another favorite movie. And he is just an

437
00:19:12,344 --> 00:19:15,944
Speaker 1: absolute loser in this and he commits so hard to

438
00:19:15,984 --> 00:19:16,664
Speaker 1: being a loser.

439
00:19:17,024 --> 00:19:19,504
Speaker 2: He's so good. Everyone in this movie is really good.

440
00:19:19,544 --> 00:19:21,824
Speaker 1: Okay, there you guys, you got a little bonus recommendation there.

441
00:19:22,224 --> 00:19:24,144
Speaker 1: Watch Bottoms watchjoy Ride.

442
00:19:23,984 --> 00:19:26,624
Speaker 2: Watch Bottoms Ride. We're already three down.

443
00:19:26,824 --> 00:19:29,144
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm gonna take us far far away

444
00:19:29,144 --> 00:19:32,984
Speaker 1: from high school and into a much more serious movie

445
00:19:33,024 --> 00:19:35,744
Speaker 1: about female friendship. But I think it stands up as

446
00:19:36,424 --> 00:19:39,824
Speaker 1: one of the greatest movies about two best friends on

447
00:19:39,824 --> 00:19:42,664
Speaker 1: the screen that you'll ever see. To the point where

448
00:19:42,704 --> 00:19:45,104
Speaker 1: this movie came out in nineteen ninety one, you were

449
00:19:45,104 --> 00:19:48,664
Speaker 1: barely alive. I was barely alive. But it's still something

450
00:19:48,704 --> 00:19:51,384
Speaker 1: that is referenced by people of all ages to this day.

451
00:19:51,584 --> 00:19:54,104
Speaker 1: Oh and it is Thelma and Louise.

452
00:19:54,704 --> 00:19:56,424
Speaker 2: I've never seen what.

453
00:19:57,304 --> 00:19:59,784
Speaker 1: No, I don't tell anyone I love that you're whispered.

454
00:19:59,904 --> 00:20:01,264
Speaker 2: Don't tell anyone.

455
00:20:01,704 --> 00:20:03,224
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, love Elma.

456
00:20:03,904 --> 00:20:05,584
Speaker 2: That's my favorite movie.

457
00:20:05,824 --> 00:20:08,184
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not judging you for not seeing it. It's like,

458
00:20:08,384 --> 00:20:11,224
Speaker 1: but you know it, right, Yeah? Do you know what happens.

459
00:20:11,024 --> 00:20:13,424
Speaker 2: Based off like how much people quoted.

460
00:20:13,224 --> 00:20:15,584
Speaker 1: Well, the thing. It's been quoted so much. It gets

461
00:20:15,704 --> 00:20:18,584
Speaker 1: referenced so much, it's been parodied so much, and like

462
00:20:18,624 --> 00:20:20,784
Speaker 1: everything from like The Simpsons to other movies like it

463
00:20:20,864 --> 00:20:23,064
Speaker 1: is one of those ones where you probably feel like

464
00:20:23,064 --> 00:20:25,024
Speaker 1: you've seen it because you've just been immersed in the

465
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:26,064
Speaker 1: storyline since you're a.

466
00:20:26,104 --> 00:20:28,384
Speaker 2: Child, kind of like Lord of the Rings. I know

467
00:20:28,464 --> 00:20:29,264
Speaker 2: that whole plot line.

468
00:20:29,264 --> 00:20:30,504
Speaker 1: You've ever seen Lord of the Rings?

469
00:20:30,864 --> 00:20:32,624
Speaker 2: Oh, I have now, but I knew it before.

470
00:20:32,664 --> 00:20:34,624
Speaker 1: I actually okay, I was gonna say, that's a whole

471
00:20:34,624 --> 00:20:36,104
Speaker 1: different conversation we gonna have to have.

472
00:20:36,304 --> 00:20:37,504
Speaker 2: I don't want to admit too much.

473
00:20:38,584 --> 00:20:40,344
Speaker 1: So Semura and Louise as I said. It came out

474
00:20:40,344 --> 00:20:43,384
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one and it was directed by Ridley

475
00:20:43,424 --> 00:20:47,424
Speaker 1: Scott and it stars Susan Sarandon and Gena Davis. So

476
00:20:47,464 --> 00:20:50,664
Speaker 1: Susan Scott, yeah, wow, this is a big deal this movie.

477
00:20:50,664 --> 00:20:53,664
Speaker 1: At the time, lots of other actresses were attached to

478
00:20:53,664 --> 00:20:55,744
Speaker 1: play at different times, but it kind of just came

479
00:20:55,784 --> 00:20:59,144
Speaker 1: down to like contract negotiations and schedules, and then it

480
00:20:59,184 --> 00:21:01,984
Speaker 1: did come down to Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis playing

481
00:21:01,984 --> 00:21:05,264
Speaker 1: these roles, and they were the complete right choice. So

482
00:21:06,024 --> 00:21:09,144
Speaker 1: Susan plays Louise and Gina plays Thelma. They had two

483
00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:11,264
Speaker 1: best friends and they set up on a road trip.

484
00:21:11,664 --> 00:21:13,944
Speaker 1: Now I just call them by their real names, Susan Sarandon,

485
00:21:13,984 --> 00:21:16,184
Speaker 1: because I feel like that's less stressful for people who

486
00:21:16,224 --> 00:21:19,184
Speaker 1: don't know the movie. Susan Sarandon's character Luise is like

487
00:21:19,304 --> 00:21:23,384
Speaker 1: very tough talking, very strong, and Filma's a bit more timid,

488
00:21:23,504 --> 00:21:26,624
Speaker 1: and she's a very abusive husband who we find out

489
00:21:26,704 --> 00:21:28,944
Speaker 1: later that she asked him if she'd gone this road trip.

490
00:21:28,984 --> 00:21:30,704
Speaker 1: He said no, and she kind of sneaks out and

491
00:21:30,744 --> 00:21:33,504
Speaker 1: goes anyway. So all these two women want to do

492
00:21:33,784 --> 00:21:37,064
Speaker 1: is quietly drive their car to this little fishing cabin

493
00:21:37,144 --> 00:21:38,504
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere and just have like a

494
00:21:38,504 --> 00:21:41,064
Speaker 1: bit of a girl's weekend, a chill girls, we can

495
00:21:41,544 --> 00:21:43,584
Speaker 1: to do that from them, well, you would think so, right,

496
00:21:43,664 --> 00:21:46,744
Speaker 1: of course, men get involved, Ah, they always get them

497
00:21:46,824 --> 00:21:50,304
Speaker 1: exactly and ruin everything day in your leg so they

498
00:21:50,864 --> 00:21:53,464
Speaker 1: set out for this vacation and they're at this bar,

499
00:21:53,624 --> 00:21:55,424
Speaker 1: their mind, their own business, are having a fun time.

500
00:21:55,944 --> 00:21:58,504
Speaker 1: Filma is kind of chatting with this guy and he

501
00:21:58,624 --> 00:22:00,384
Speaker 1: kind of gets like, you know, this idea of like, oh,

502
00:22:00,504 --> 00:22:02,424
Speaker 1: this woman will hook up with me. They tell him

503
00:22:02,424 --> 00:22:04,664
Speaker 1: to go away, they tell him she's married. They go

504
00:22:04,744 --> 00:22:07,184
Speaker 1: to the car. He follows them out, and he starts

505
00:22:07,224 --> 00:22:09,824
Speaker 1: attacking them in attacking Filma like he's one hundred percent

506
00:22:09,864 --> 00:22:13,144
Speaker 1: going to rape her. And so Louise is traveling with

507
00:22:13,144 --> 00:22:15,384
Speaker 1: a gun that her boyfriend had given her, pulls the

508
00:22:15,424 --> 00:22:18,584
Speaker 1: gun out of the car and shoots him deserved Yeah,

509
00:22:18,624 --> 00:22:20,944
Speaker 1: But then of course they're stressed because everyone's like does

510
00:22:20,984 --> 00:22:23,664
Speaker 1: he die? He dies, Yeah, And then they're like, oh

511
00:22:23,664 --> 00:22:26,664
Speaker 1: my god, we've killed this man. And also everyone saw

512
00:22:26,744 --> 00:22:30,104
Speaker 1: us inside the bar flirting and chatting with him back

513
00:22:30,104 --> 00:22:31,664
Speaker 1: when they were just thought he was just a rauning

514
00:22:31,664 --> 00:22:33,584
Speaker 1: gun by. They're just saying hello to like, no big deal,

515
00:22:34,064 --> 00:22:35,984
Speaker 1: and it's gonna look like we took him into the

516
00:22:36,024 --> 00:22:40,304
Speaker 1: car park and shot him. No, no, no, no, they're the

517
00:22:40,344 --> 00:22:42,864
Speaker 1: heroes of the story. They've just been put in a

518
00:22:42,944 --> 00:22:47,064
Speaker 1: horrific situation. And you also find out later why Louise

519
00:22:47,104 --> 00:22:51,344
Speaker 1: had such an intense reaction to seeing this man attack

520
00:22:51,384 --> 00:22:55,104
Speaker 1: her friend, and so then they decide to run, get

521
00:22:55,104 --> 00:22:57,024
Speaker 1: in the car and leave. No one's gonna believe us.

522
00:22:57,864 --> 00:22:58,304
Speaker 2: Road trip.

523
00:22:58,584 --> 00:23:00,664
Speaker 1: Yeah, So then the rest of the movie follows them

524
00:23:00,664 --> 00:23:02,984
Speaker 1: on this road trip. The police find the body, the

525
00:23:03,024 --> 00:23:06,504
Speaker 1: FBI get involved, the FBI start like tracking them. There's

526
00:23:06,504 --> 00:23:09,024
Speaker 1: this one particular FBI officer who's the one that they

527
00:23:09,104 --> 00:23:11,264
Speaker 1: every time they could take it call from the FBI

528
00:23:11,424 --> 00:23:13,904
Speaker 1: because he's trying to negotiate them for the show themselves

529
00:23:13,904 --> 00:23:16,184
Speaker 1: in who is sort of like it's like he can

530
00:23:16,224 --> 00:23:19,304
Speaker 1: see what's happened and he's trying to help them. And

531
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:23,464
Speaker 1: they just kind of then throw themselves into this lifestyle,

532
00:23:23,464 --> 00:23:25,424
Speaker 1: like they don't set out to hurt anyone, but they

533
00:23:25,424 --> 00:23:28,184
Speaker 1: do like roub a shop with the garden and do

534
00:23:28,304 --> 00:23:31,504
Speaker 1: other stuff things. Yeah, and along the way they meet

535
00:23:31,544 --> 00:23:33,864
Speaker 1: a very hot guy played by Brad Pitt in his

536
00:23:33,984 --> 00:23:36,744
Speaker 1: first his very first acting role. I don't know he

537
00:23:36,784 --> 00:23:38,464
Speaker 1: was in this, yeah JD. I think that's what his

538
00:23:38,544 --> 00:23:42,104
Speaker 1: name is. I just think he was. He's pretty much naked,

539
00:23:42,344 --> 00:23:45,344
Speaker 1: So just think super young Brad Pitt, super naked before

540
00:23:45,384 --> 00:23:47,064
Speaker 1: he became wildly problematic.

541
00:23:47,424 --> 00:23:48,584
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm into it.

542
00:23:48,624 --> 00:23:50,304
Speaker 1: Well, they kind of this young guy they pick up

543
00:23:50,304 --> 00:23:52,624
Speaker 1: and Selma has like a wild night with him, and

544
00:23:52,624 --> 00:23:55,544
Speaker 1: then he does steal from them. Not to give away

545
00:23:55,544 --> 00:23:57,024
Speaker 1: so much of the movie. I see this movie years,

546
00:23:57,024 --> 00:23:58,224
Speaker 1: but I watched it all the time as a kid,

547
00:23:58,224 --> 00:24:02,384
Speaker 1: which really, I know, I can't believe. My mum was like, oh, notough,

548
00:24:02,424 --> 00:24:04,624
Speaker 1: you should watch Buffy as a teenager, and I was like, literally,

549
00:24:04,784 --> 00:24:06,704
Speaker 1: I watched Elma and Luise on that weird VHS we

550
00:24:06,704 --> 00:24:09,944
Speaker 1: had in the TV cabinet like fifty times. And so

551
00:24:10,104 --> 00:24:12,584
Speaker 1: it's thing of like the reason it's such a strong

552
00:24:12,784 --> 00:24:16,184
Speaker 1: movie about female friendship, it's that these two women come together.

553
00:24:16,304 --> 00:24:19,544
Speaker 1: It's like protecting each other on the run together. And

554
00:24:19,704 --> 00:24:21,904
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil the ending, but I kind

555
00:24:21,904 --> 00:24:22,864
Speaker 1: of have to to explain.

556
00:24:23,064 --> 00:24:24,184
Speaker 2: Yeah, I also watch it.

557
00:24:24,264 --> 00:24:26,304
Speaker 1: I feel like the ending is so iconic that you

558
00:24:26,344 --> 00:24:29,704
Speaker 1: would know. So they're in the car, they're heading towards

559
00:24:29,704 --> 00:24:34,144
Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon. The FBI like fifty police cars are

560
00:24:34,184 --> 00:24:35,344
Speaker 1: behind them and chasing them.

561
00:24:35,464 --> 00:24:37,264
Speaker 2: So they're on the runt, like physically.

562
00:24:36,944 --> 00:24:40,384
Speaker 1: They're chase. It ends in a huge car chase and

563
00:24:40,584 --> 00:24:42,184
Speaker 1: they're driving and they don't know what to do when

564
00:24:42,184 --> 00:24:44,424
Speaker 1: they're in the car, and then they are like, if

565
00:24:44,464 --> 00:24:46,344
Speaker 1: we stop, we'll go to prison for the rest of

566
00:24:46,344 --> 00:24:49,304
Speaker 1: our lives and it'll be over. And they're so broken

567
00:24:49,784 --> 00:24:54,184
Speaker 1: to stop. Well, here's the thing. The movie doesn't want

568
00:24:54,184 --> 00:24:56,224
Speaker 1: to sort of us to think of their death as that.

569
00:24:56,304 --> 00:24:57,904
Speaker 1: You're meant to think of it as the moment of

570
00:24:57,944 --> 00:25:01,184
Speaker 1: like extreme friendship. It's a way I die. I feel

571
00:25:01,184 --> 00:25:02,464
Speaker 1: like I need to show you the clip of this

572
00:25:02,504 --> 00:25:05,144
Speaker 1: afterwards and just for you to see it. So can

573
00:25:05,184 --> 00:25:07,504
Speaker 1: I just say this is one of the most iconic

574
00:25:07,704 --> 00:25:10,104
Speaker 1: film endings of all times. Skip ahead a few seconds

575
00:25:10,104 --> 00:25:11,824
Speaker 1: off you I want to hear, but it is one

576
00:25:11,824 --> 00:25:14,624
Speaker 1: of the most iconic film endings of all time where

577
00:25:14,624 --> 00:25:18,144
Speaker 1: they say, let's just keep driving, let's just keep going,

578
00:25:18,704 --> 00:25:20,424
Speaker 1: let's just go, and they look at each other and

579
00:25:20,464 --> 00:25:22,944
Speaker 1: they're smiling and they're crying and they just like they

580
00:25:23,064 --> 00:25:25,664
Speaker 1: just commit to like we are together until And that's

581
00:25:25,664 --> 00:25:27,984
Speaker 1: why people say like, you're my Filma, you're on my Louise.

582
00:25:28,024 --> 00:25:30,424
Speaker 1: That's a shorthand for saying like you're my best friend.

583
00:25:30,424 --> 00:25:32,544
Speaker 1: It's a shorthand for saying you're my ride or die

584
00:25:32,624 --> 00:25:35,264
Speaker 1: like that's where this comes from like we ride together

585
00:25:35,344 --> 00:25:37,064
Speaker 1: or we die together, and they decide to ride and

586
00:25:37,144 --> 00:25:40,304
Speaker 1: die together. You look so shocked.

587
00:25:40,504 --> 00:25:42,184
Speaker 2: My how did I miss this?

588
00:25:42,464 --> 00:25:43,864
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a huge no.

589
00:25:45,064 --> 00:25:46,464
Speaker 2: I thought I knew everything about that.

590
00:25:46,624 --> 00:25:49,184
Speaker 1: You know why you think that is because it's such

591
00:25:49,264 --> 00:25:51,424
Speaker 1: a beautiful way that Ridley Scott does. It is that

592
00:25:51,624 --> 00:25:53,504
Speaker 1: you're not to think of them as dying in a way.

593
00:25:53,784 --> 00:25:56,664
Speaker 1: So they're driving towards the Grand Canyon. She puts her

594
00:25:56,704 --> 00:26:00,384
Speaker 1: foot down the accelerator, they kiss, they hold hands, and

595
00:26:00,424 --> 00:26:02,584
Speaker 1: then the car like shoots off the edge and it

596
00:26:02,744 --> 00:26:05,144
Speaker 1: ends on the frozen car in the air. So you

597
00:26:05,184 --> 00:26:08,064
Speaker 1: don't see them die, and you don't see anything bad

598
00:26:08,064 --> 00:26:10,024
Speaker 1: happen to them, And in your mind you could almost

599
00:26:10,024 --> 00:26:11,864
Speaker 1: have madgine that they jumped to the Crown Canyon.

600
00:26:12,624 --> 00:26:15,704
Speaker 2: They they fly away like Herbie Herby.

601
00:26:15,784 --> 00:26:18,784
Speaker 1: Maybe their car's cheer hitty bank bank. Yeah. Yeah. So

602
00:26:19,024 --> 00:26:21,064
Speaker 1: but that moment of like we ride together or we

603
00:26:21,104 --> 00:26:23,464
Speaker 1: die together, like that's film or in the wis like

604
00:26:23,584 --> 00:26:25,584
Speaker 1: I've got your back because a few times, you know,

605
00:26:25,624 --> 00:26:27,104
Speaker 1: one of them will say like, well you didn't shoot him.

606
00:26:27,104 --> 00:26:28,344
Speaker 1: You could turn them in. They're like no, no, we're in

607
00:26:28,344 --> 00:26:30,544
Speaker 1: this together, like we're one hundred percent in this together.

608
00:26:30,584 --> 00:26:33,024
Speaker 1: We've got each other's backs. And they do fight and

609
00:26:33,024 --> 00:26:35,304
Speaker 1: stuff through the movie, obviously because it's a tense situation.

610
00:26:35,704 --> 00:26:38,264
Speaker 1: But it's meant to be like a symbol for finding

611
00:26:38,304 --> 00:26:41,584
Speaker 1: that one female friend who has your back no matter what,

612
00:26:41,624 --> 00:26:43,304
Speaker 1: who will be with you to the end, someone that

613
00:26:43,344 --> 00:26:45,944
Speaker 1: you'd rather drive off the grown canyon with, because if

614
00:26:45,984 --> 00:26:49,984
Speaker 1: you don't do that, then you're gonna be separated. Emily's crying, everyone,

615
00:26:50,304 --> 00:26:55,264
Speaker 1: what the hell? Yeah, that's crazy. Sorry to spoil that

616
00:26:55,304 --> 00:26:56,024
Speaker 1: maybe for you.

617
00:26:56,064 --> 00:26:57,424
Speaker 2: No, I'm definitely gonna watch this.

618
00:26:57,784 --> 00:27:00,664
Speaker 1: I think you would love it again. Once you watch it,

619
00:27:00,704 --> 00:27:03,424
Speaker 1: you'll be like, oh, this gets referenced in every other

620
00:27:03,504 --> 00:27:05,304
Speaker 1: movie I watched. That's why I think it's important for

621
00:27:05,304 --> 00:27:08,144
Speaker 1: people to watch these classics, because they are the foundations

622
00:27:08,144 --> 00:27:10,624
Speaker 1: for everything we watch now. Yeah, and then you're also

623
00:27:10,704 --> 00:27:13,304
Speaker 1: realize how often people quote this movie, like, both in

624
00:27:13,344 --> 00:27:16,504
Speaker 1: real life and in TV shows and movies and stuff. Yeah,

625
00:27:16,504 --> 00:27:20,224
Speaker 1: that idea of write or die that's from this, that's insane. Yeah,

626
00:27:20,304 --> 00:27:22,584
Speaker 1: I write a die all the time. Yeah, well you go. No,

627
00:27:22,664 --> 00:27:24,784
Speaker 1: you can say to someone you're my Selma, you're my Louise.

628
00:27:25,024 --> 00:27:29,904
Speaker 2: Ah my next one. I used to watch this movie

629
00:27:30,304 --> 00:27:32,584
Speaker 2: all the time and I definitely have talked about it

630
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:34,584
Speaker 2: on the podcast before You Watch It all the time

631
00:27:35,024 --> 00:27:37,504
Speaker 2: with my cousins and my family. It was one of

632
00:27:37,504 --> 00:27:39,744
Speaker 2: the movies that the adults would always put on for

633
00:27:39,824 --> 00:27:42,504
Speaker 2: all of us when we were annoying them and who

634
00:27:42,624 --> 00:27:44,544
Speaker 2: was how's we were at? They'd just be like, everyone,

635
00:27:44,584 --> 00:27:46,624
Speaker 2: sit down, it's time to watch your favorite movie, because

636
00:27:46,624 --> 00:27:48,344
Speaker 2: it was all of our collective favorite movie. And I'm

637
00:27:48,344 --> 00:27:50,024
Speaker 2: from a big family, so that I was like twenty

638
00:27:50,064 --> 00:27:52,144
Speaker 2: of us and we'd all sit down and watch it,

639
00:27:52,344 --> 00:27:53,984
Speaker 2: and we weren't really watching it because we knew this

640
00:27:54,064 --> 00:27:56,744
Speaker 2: movie so well that we just quote it from beginning

641
00:27:56,824 --> 00:27:59,264
Speaker 2: to end, and it was probably not a movie we

642
00:27:59,264 --> 00:28:01,824
Speaker 2: should have seen as such young young girls like I

643
00:28:01,904 --> 00:28:03,664
Speaker 2: watched this one, I think when I was like nine

644
00:28:03,744 --> 00:28:06,304
Speaker 2: years old. It is so so.

645
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:07,184
Speaker 1: Good, Like god, what is it?

646
00:28:07,784 --> 00:28:08,744
Speaker 2: Bend it like Beckham?

647
00:28:09,184 --> 00:28:09,504
Speaker 1: Oh?

648
00:28:09,584 --> 00:28:13,984
Speaker 2: Yeah, a classic? So Pa Minda Nagara and Kiera Knightley

649
00:28:14,024 --> 00:28:16,624
Speaker 2: and Kiera Nightley is so young in it justs and jewels.

650
00:28:17,344 --> 00:28:22,464
Speaker 2: So it's basically about Jess. Jess Minda. She is a

651
00:28:22,504 --> 00:28:26,184
Speaker 2: young girl living in England with her family and she's

652
00:28:26,224 --> 00:28:30,944
Speaker 2: off Indian heritage and her family are very traditional and

653
00:28:31,104 --> 00:28:34,464
Speaker 2: her mom wants her to just focus on her studies,

654
00:28:34,904 --> 00:28:38,344
Speaker 2: marry someone from another family that they love and respect,

655
00:28:38,784 --> 00:28:41,784
Speaker 2: and then just kind of like be a how'swife essentially,

656
00:28:41,864 --> 00:28:44,504
Speaker 2: like cook and clean and provide for your family. And

657
00:28:45,344 --> 00:28:50,184
Speaker 2: Jess just Minda is really good at football also Nana soccer,

658
00:28:51,024 --> 00:28:53,184
Speaker 2: really good at football. So she would play with like

659
00:28:53,224 --> 00:28:55,584
Speaker 2: the boys in her neighborhood and she was always the

660
00:28:55,624 --> 00:28:58,584
Speaker 2: best in her team. And then she meets Jewels, which

661
00:28:58,624 --> 00:29:03,104
Speaker 2: is Kiera Knightley who is white British and she comes

662
00:29:03,104 --> 00:29:04,824
Speaker 2: also from a bit of a quirky family, like a

663
00:29:04,904 --> 00:29:06,384
Speaker 2: mother's a bit silly.

664
00:29:06,504 --> 00:29:08,824
Speaker 1: Yeah, he mother wants her to be like a girly girl.

665
00:29:08,984 --> 00:29:10,984
Speaker 2: Yeah, her mother wanted to be a girl, but her

666
00:29:11,024 --> 00:29:15,464
Speaker 2: dad loves that she loves football and Juels like plays

667
00:29:15,464 --> 00:29:18,904
Speaker 2: for a football team. Their coach Joe played by Jonathan

668
00:29:18,944 --> 00:29:21,584
Speaker 2: Reese Meyers who you might know as Henry.

669
00:29:21,344 --> 00:29:23,584
Speaker 1: D eighth and the tutors. Yeah, I do from that.

670
00:29:23,864 --> 00:29:25,904
Speaker 2: He's so hot in bending back and I'm like I

671
00:29:25,944 --> 00:29:28,904
Speaker 2: had a huge crushing him. Yeah, I I was young.

672
00:29:28,944 --> 00:29:30,704
Speaker 1: I thought he was a bit weeding and annoying and

673
00:29:30,704 --> 00:29:33,664
Speaker 1: I was like, why are these two honest girls fighting

674
00:29:33,664 --> 00:29:33,984
Speaker 1: of him?

675
00:29:33,984 --> 00:29:36,144
Speaker 2: But also his storyline was actually not needed in this.

676
00:29:36,424 --> 00:29:38,664
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also he was just the guy that was there.

677
00:29:38,944 --> 00:29:39,824
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was just there.

678
00:29:39,904 --> 00:29:41,664
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to crush on a guy that's there,

679
00:29:41,744 --> 00:29:42,264
Speaker 1: that's just there.

680
00:29:42,304 --> 00:29:45,264
Speaker 2: And then Jules convinces Jess to join the football team,

681
00:29:45,344 --> 00:29:47,504
Speaker 2: so she does it without telling her parents. She kind

682
00:29:47,504 --> 00:29:49,784
Speaker 2: of sneaks out and it's just like one of those

683
00:29:49,824 --> 00:29:53,424
Speaker 2: like female friendships but like cross cultural, which I felt

684
00:29:53,424 --> 00:29:56,944
Speaker 2: like was so forming as a child who's also from

685
00:29:57,144 --> 00:30:00,264
Speaker 2: immigrant parents living in Australia in this world because a

686
00:30:00,264 --> 00:30:02,784
Speaker 2: lot of my friends were like white Australian and I

687
00:30:02,824 --> 00:30:06,824
Speaker 2: thought watching like older girls see their friendship form like that,

688
00:30:06,904 --> 00:30:09,264
Speaker 2: I think that was just so affirming for me, Like, yeah,

689
00:30:09,464 --> 00:30:12,224
Speaker 2: it was just so beautiful to watch. And also watch

690
00:30:12,344 --> 00:30:15,424
Speaker 2: Jess's parents come around to her playing football in the end,

691
00:30:15,624 --> 00:30:19,944
Speaker 2: and the lines in this are iconic, like when Juel's

692
00:30:20,024 --> 00:30:23,184
Speaker 2: mom is like, get your lesbian feet out of my shoes.

693
00:30:23,224 --> 00:30:25,584
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because they take the shoes because her parents

694
00:30:25,624 --> 00:30:28,064
Speaker 1: gave just Minna money to buy shoes for her sister's

695
00:30:28,064 --> 00:30:31,104
Speaker 1: wedding and she uses it for football stocks and then

696
00:30:31,184 --> 00:30:33,464
Speaker 1: Kiera Knightley's character. He's like, don't worry. My mom has

697
00:30:33,504 --> 00:30:33,944
Speaker 1: so many.

698
00:30:33,864 --> 00:30:38,304
Speaker 2: Shoes lesbian Fiama shoes and her aunt's like lesbian. Her

699
00:30:38,304 --> 00:30:41,624
Speaker 2: birthdays in much I thought she was a pisceys, just

700
00:30:41,664 --> 00:30:45,104
Speaker 2: like iconic iconic lines. She's like, we can find anything

701
00:30:45,144 --> 00:30:47,584
Speaker 2: to fit these little mosquito bikes. I'm like these juicy

702
00:30:47,664 --> 00:30:48,584
Speaker 2: juicy mangoes.

703
00:30:48,864 --> 00:30:50,424
Speaker 1: Was talking about it beeB Yeah, and.

704
00:30:50,384 --> 00:30:52,704
Speaker 2: I me and my cousin would quote juicy juicy mangoes

705
00:30:52,744 --> 00:30:54,424
Speaker 2: all the time. My mom's like, you have to stop this,

706
00:30:54,544 --> 00:30:55,584
Speaker 2: like you're in a supermarket.

707
00:30:55,664 --> 00:30:58,304
Speaker 1: Or when her cousin tells her that he's gay and

708
00:30:58,344 --> 00:31:00,104
Speaker 1: he tells her he's like, I like Beckham. She's like,

709
00:31:00,144 --> 00:31:03,664
Speaker 1: I know. He's like, no, I really, I really like Beckham,

710
00:31:04,384 --> 00:31:06,024
Speaker 1: which is a beautiful way to say it. It's like

711
00:31:06,104 --> 00:31:08,104
Speaker 1: we gotta to Stanza.

712
00:31:07,424 --> 00:31:12,024
Speaker 2: And then they both have a crush on Joe average Joe,

713
00:31:12,064 --> 00:31:13,864
Speaker 2: and then they just literally like brush him to the

714
00:31:13,864 --> 00:31:16,144
Speaker 2: side to play football, and they both get a scholarship

715
00:31:16,144 --> 00:31:18,784
Speaker 2: to the US. And the end scene when they're in

716
00:31:18,824 --> 00:31:21,944
Speaker 2: the airport and they pass David and Victoria Beckham.

717
00:31:22,424 --> 00:31:25,704
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not David Victorian. It would have been so

718
00:31:25,984 --> 00:31:27,904
Speaker 1: iconic of them to do a cameo on this movie.

719
00:31:27,904 --> 00:31:31,184
Speaker 1: But I guess also they didn't know because they's stunt people. Yeah,

720
00:31:31,224 --> 00:31:32,544
Speaker 1: and you just see the back of the back of

721
00:31:32,584 --> 00:31:36,064
Speaker 1: the King, but they're like, it's a sign. And I'm like,

722
00:31:37,184 --> 00:31:39,264
Speaker 1: I feel like if David Beckham had known what this

723
00:31:39,304 --> 00:31:41,384
Speaker 1: movie would become, he would have done that cameo. This

724
00:31:41,424 --> 00:31:41,864
Speaker 1: is how I.

725
00:31:41,824 --> 00:31:45,064
Speaker 2: Found out about David Beckham really through this movie, because

726
00:31:45,064 --> 00:31:47,024
Speaker 2: I would always ask, like I would be like, why

727
00:31:47,064 --> 00:31:48,704
Speaker 2: is it called Benda like Beckham? Like I'm like, who

728
00:31:48,704 --> 00:31:49,424
Speaker 2: the hell is Beckham?

729
00:31:50,464 --> 00:31:52,904
Speaker 1: A lot of assume knowledge and it sounded like a god.

730
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:53,824
Speaker 2: In the movie because it's like I want to be

731
00:31:53,824 --> 00:31:56,344
Speaker 2: as good as Beckham. He's like, and I'm like, who

732
00:31:56,424 --> 00:32:00,944
Speaker 2: was this person? And then my Dad's like, David Beckham.

733
00:32:02,344 --> 00:32:02,664
Speaker 1: Time.

734
00:32:02,784 --> 00:32:03,824
Speaker 2: But I guess these girls do.

735
00:32:03,984 --> 00:32:05,584
Speaker 1: Yeah, You're like, I'm gonna trust them. I feel like

736
00:32:05,584 --> 00:32:05,824
Speaker 1: they know.

737
00:32:05,824 --> 00:32:08,624
Speaker 2: What's good enough for me. But yeah, bended like Beckham.

738
00:32:08,664 --> 00:32:10,944
Speaker 2: It was just one of those friendships I feel like

739
00:32:11,304 --> 00:32:13,664
Speaker 2: we never see even now in modern day, which we

740
00:32:13,864 --> 00:32:17,544
Speaker 2: rarely get, like cross cultural friendships where culture is seen

741
00:32:17,704 --> 00:32:20,904
Speaker 2: as like the biggest obstacle in the friendship and in

742
00:32:20,944 --> 00:32:23,584
Speaker 2: their family lives, and I wish we got more of it.

743
00:32:23,664 --> 00:32:25,584
Speaker 2: But this is the one movie that I felt like

744
00:32:25,744 --> 00:32:27,904
Speaker 2: was so close to home for me.

745
00:32:28,304 --> 00:32:31,544
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, I love that. It's also like, yes, they

746
00:32:31,624 --> 00:32:33,864
Speaker 1: have all the troubles of other high school friends, but

747
00:32:33,904 --> 00:32:35,984
Speaker 1: they also have like the pressure of like wanting to

748
00:32:36,104 --> 00:32:38,824
Speaker 1: essentially be a lead athletes and what that means for

749
00:32:38,904 --> 00:32:41,624
Speaker 1: having to like push each other and also push aside

750
00:32:41,664 --> 00:32:44,384
Speaker 1: jealousy of each other when because Jewels obviously brings Jess

751
00:32:44,424 --> 00:32:46,824
Speaker 1: in but then just is so good and obviously Jules

752
00:32:46,824 --> 00:32:49,024
Speaker 1: has had a crush on average Joe for so long

753
00:32:49,104 --> 00:32:51,824
Speaker 1: and then he kind of likes Jess problematic and them

754
00:32:51,904 --> 00:32:54,304
Speaker 1: having to sort of push past all of that and

755
00:32:54,384 --> 00:32:54,784
Speaker 1: which they.

756
00:32:54,744 --> 00:32:55,544
Speaker 2: Do, Yeah, which they do.

757
00:32:55,624 --> 00:32:56,704
Speaker 1: I mean they have a bit of a fight bit,

758
00:32:56,904 --> 00:32:59,784
Speaker 1: who doesn't girls love to fight. But the thing is,

759
00:32:59,864 --> 00:33:01,264
Speaker 1: and you seeing them like kind of go off on

760
00:33:01,304 --> 00:33:04,304
Speaker 1: the plane to like follow their dreams together.

761
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:06,224
Speaker 2: And they send their postcard back to their families and

762
00:33:06,304 --> 00:33:09,184
Speaker 2: them and their new football team. Yeah, so cute, so

763
00:33:09,344 --> 00:33:12,624
Speaker 2: good in my head. They're still playing football to this day.

764
00:33:13,144 --> 00:33:15,744
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they met Jack of David Beckham many times.

765
00:33:15,824 --> 00:33:17,904
Speaker 2: Yeah, David Beckham wishes he could be.

766
00:33:17,944 --> 00:33:21,224
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I think that too. Okay, I know I've

767
00:33:21,264 --> 00:33:23,384
Speaker 1: said that every movie I've done is the most iconic

768
00:33:23,384 --> 00:33:26,544
Speaker 1: friendship movie, but this is the most iconic friendship movie.

769
00:33:26,904 --> 00:33:29,864
Speaker 1: If you asked anyone to say, what is the most

770
00:33:30,264 --> 00:33:34,144
Speaker 1: important movie about friendship that everyone references, they would say

771
00:33:34,144 --> 00:33:38,344
Speaker 1: this Beaches how much? But you know about it?

772
00:33:38,384 --> 00:33:39,304
Speaker 2: I know about Beach.

773
00:33:39,424 --> 00:33:41,624
Speaker 1: You know the idea of like, if someone said to

774
00:33:41,664 --> 00:33:43,504
Speaker 1: you Beaches, you'd be like, oh, the movie about the

775
00:33:43,584 --> 00:33:44,304
Speaker 1: chicks who are friends.

776
00:33:44,384 --> 00:33:46,544
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally, that's literally all I know about it.

777
00:33:46,784 --> 00:33:48,904
Speaker 1: Well, this movie did come out in nineteen ninety eight.

778
00:33:48,984 --> 00:33:52,384
Speaker 1: Were You're alive? Barely was alive? I was barely alive. Yeah,

779
00:33:52,384 --> 00:33:54,104
Speaker 1: just so you know, No, you weren't. If you were,

780
00:33:54,224 --> 00:33:57,104
Speaker 1: I was two years old in nineteen ninety eight, sorry,

781
00:33:57,184 --> 00:34:00,904
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. I was like, dude, there's no way

782
00:34:00,904 --> 00:34:03,024
Speaker 1: you're alive in nineteen ninety eight unless you've been pulling

783
00:34:03,024 --> 00:34:05,344
Speaker 1: a younger situation. Matter. If I find this whole time,

784
00:34:05,344 --> 00:34:06,904
Speaker 1: you've been lying about your age and you're actually I'm

785
00:34:06,944 --> 00:34:08,824
Speaker 1: like fifteen, you're actually in your mid thirties.

786
00:34:09,744 --> 00:34:10,304
Speaker 2: No, I wasn't that.

787
00:34:10,984 --> 00:34:13,184
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was barely alive. I've been alive for like

788
00:34:13,224 --> 00:34:14,024
Speaker 1: a year barely.

789
00:34:14,264 --> 00:34:16,504
Speaker 2: I was like, I was too, so what we.

790
00:34:16,464 --> 00:34:20,064
Speaker 1: Didn't watch it in cinemas, but I've watched it many

791
00:34:20,104 --> 00:34:20,864
Speaker 1: times since then.

792
00:34:20,904 --> 00:34:22,664
Speaker 2: I'd be like, Okay, now your mom's pushing it.

793
00:34:23,824 --> 00:34:25,224
Speaker 1: No, well, I mean, this is again one of those

794
00:34:25,224 --> 00:34:27,344
Speaker 1: movies that we had, and I've got old VHD S

795
00:34:27,424 --> 00:34:29,664
Speaker 1: tape that my mum taped off also had the commercials

796
00:34:29,664 --> 00:34:32,624
Speaker 1: in it, and we just just to watch it over

797
00:34:32,664 --> 00:34:33,304
Speaker 1: and over and over.

798
00:34:33,344 --> 00:34:35,984
Speaker 2: And I love to watch an old VHS tape with

799
00:34:36,024 --> 00:34:36,904
Speaker 2: the commercials in it.

800
00:34:37,304 --> 00:34:39,584
Speaker 1: That'd be so rare. What my mum used to do too,

801
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:41,184
Speaker 1: is if it was a bit of a risque movie,

802
00:34:41,224 --> 00:34:43,464
Speaker 1: like this movie isn't as much? Is that with Pretty

803
00:34:43,504 --> 00:34:46,344
Speaker 1: Women and Dirty Dancing? She she didn't press record when

804
00:34:46,344 --> 00:34:48,584
Speaker 1: they were having a sex scene. So our all of

805
00:34:48,664 --> 00:34:52,624
Speaker 1: VHS tapes of Pretty Women and Dirty Dancing don't have

806
00:34:52,664 --> 00:34:54,464
Speaker 1: the sex scenes in them. So it wasn't until I

807
00:34:54,504 --> 00:34:56,464
Speaker 1: was an adult that I realized that in Pretty Women

808
00:34:56,504 --> 00:34:58,344
Speaker 1: they have sex and in Dirty Dancing they have sex.

809
00:34:58,344 --> 00:35:00,384
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, I don't want

810
00:35:00,384 --> 00:35:01,344
Speaker 1: to make ass.

811
00:35:01,464 --> 00:35:03,784
Speaker 2: That's so funny. I'm like, what a legend.

812
00:35:04,184 --> 00:35:05,584
Speaker 1: I can't even watch it. Now because I'm just like

813
00:35:05,584 --> 00:35:07,464
Speaker 1: when I see that pretty woman seeing when they kissing

814
00:35:07,464 --> 00:35:09,624
Speaker 1: on the piano, I'm like, this has been edited later on.

815
00:35:09,824 --> 00:35:10,864
Speaker 2: This is for me.

816
00:35:10,944 --> 00:35:13,744
Speaker 1: This is not the version I watched as a child.

817
00:35:13,864 --> 00:35:17,224
Speaker 2: I have a confession that I am confessing right now

818
00:35:17,384 --> 00:35:21,824
Speaker 2: to my family. Yeah, the reason why Nana and Papa's

819
00:35:22,144 --> 00:35:26,024
Speaker 2: VHS machine thing broke was because I'd always put my

820
00:35:26,184 --> 00:35:30,344
Speaker 2: spoons in them. After I ate my cereal, I put my.

821
00:35:30,304 --> 00:35:31,744
Speaker 1: Spoon through the cassette player.

822
00:35:31,864 --> 00:35:33,024
Speaker 2: Why, I don't know.

823
00:35:33,504 --> 00:35:35,104
Speaker 1: I was going to say, because I snuck a tape

824
00:35:35,104 --> 00:35:36,944
Speaker 1: and I tried to rework. There's no need to put

825
00:35:36,944 --> 00:35:38,064
Speaker 1: a spoon in a VHS.

826
00:35:38,104 --> 00:35:38,944
Speaker 2: There's a lot of spoons.

827
00:35:39,064 --> 00:35:43,704
Speaker 1: That Wasn't that a very easily detectable crime, Because didn't

828
00:35:43,704 --> 00:35:45,584
Speaker 1: they come over and say, hey, Emily, you were just

829
00:35:45,624 --> 00:35:47,584
Speaker 1: eating with a spoon next to the VHS, and now

830
00:35:47,584 --> 00:35:49,104
Speaker 1: there's a spoon in the VHS.

831
00:35:49,784 --> 00:35:51,744
Speaker 2: I think they knew well they because there was so

832
00:35:51,784 --> 00:35:54,424
Speaker 2: many spoons in there that even when they shook it,

833
00:35:54,424 --> 00:35:57,264
Speaker 2: it wouldn't make a noise because it was so compacted in.

834
00:35:57,904 --> 00:35:59,904
Speaker 1: I don't even understand how you would put a spoon.

835
00:36:00,264 --> 00:36:03,824
Speaker 2: So there were two issues, right, the VHS players stopped

836
00:36:03,824 --> 00:36:08,664
Speaker 2: working and Nana ran out of spoons.

837
00:36:08,704 --> 00:36:11,384
Speaker 1: Literally have so many questions together. I feel like you

838
00:36:11,544 --> 00:36:13,064
Speaker 1: to get your Nana on the pod and do like

839
00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:15,504
Speaker 1: a yeah, she'll feel like what do like a twelve

840
00:36:15,504 --> 00:36:16,184
Speaker 1: part system?

841
00:36:16,704 --> 00:36:18,304
Speaker 2: Like you owe me a lot of money?

842
00:36:18,384 --> 00:36:21,504
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, that's her expensive. Well that's not how I

843
00:36:21,504 --> 00:36:23,744
Speaker 1: watched Beaches. So it came out in nineteen ninety eight

844
00:36:23,904 --> 00:36:30,424
Speaker 1: and it stars Bette Middler as Cecilia cc bloom, great name, yeah,

845
00:36:30,904 --> 00:36:34,264
Speaker 1: and Barbara Hershey as Hithery Whitney. This is one where

846
00:36:34,264 --> 00:36:36,184
Speaker 1: I might use their character names because I think people know.

847
00:36:36,784 --> 00:36:40,064
Speaker 1: So it starts with cec Bette Midler, obviously one of

848
00:36:40,104 --> 00:36:43,424
Speaker 1: the greatest musicians and actors of our time, on stage

849
00:36:43,424 --> 00:36:46,744
Speaker 1: at a concert. Well, obviously you're like this woman CEC Bloom,

850
00:36:47,064 --> 00:36:50,064
Speaker 1: super famous. Yeah, she gets a message, something has happened.

851
00:36:50,384 --> 00:36:52,384
Speaker 1: She cancels the concert, she runs out, she jumps in

852
00:36:52,424 --> 00:36:54,224
Speaker 1: the car, she starts driving, and you don't know what

853
00:36:54,264 --> 00:36:55,744
Speaker 1: the message is. No, no, you don't know. It's time with

854
00:36:55,784 --> 00:36:58,344
Speaker 1: the messages. And as she's driving, she thinks back and

855
00:36:58,384 --> 00:37:01,104
Speaker 1: then next minute it's her in Atlantic.

856
00:37:01,784 --> 00:37:04,624
Speaker 2: Oh it goes do yeah, you go back in time.

857
00:37:04,664 --> 00:37:07,264
Speaker 1: And then suddenly she's a child and we're back in

858
00:37:07,344 --> 00:37:10,064
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty eight at the stage and she's in Atlantic

859
00:37:10,104 --> 00:37:13,824
Speaker 1: City and Ceci is like a child star. She's performing

860
00:37:13,824 --> 00:37:16,544
Speaker 1: in like a concert at like a hotel thing, and

861
00:37:16,584 --> 00:37:19,904
Speaker 1: she's auditioning for something, and she's got a really overbearing

862
00:37:20,384 --> 00:37:23,184
Speaker 1: mother that she's running away from. And while she's running

863
00:37:23,184 --> 00:37:25,744
Speaker 1: away onto the boardwalk, she meets this little girl with

864
00:37:25,864 --> 00:37:30,064
Speaker 1: dark hair called Hillary, who is from a very very

865
00:37:30,184 --> 00:37:32,824
Speaker 1: very rich family. So there's a huge difference. You have

866
00:37:32,944 --> 00:37:35,544
Speaker 1: CeCu who's this like from a poor family, but her

867
00:37:35,584 --> 00:37:37,224
Speaker 1: mum's trying to make her a star and she's a

868
00:37:37,224 --> 00:37:40,024
Speaker 1: good singer, but she's like really bawdy and really out

869
00:37:40,064 --> 00:37:43,144
Speaker 1: there and really like unpolished. And then you've got Hillary,

870
00:37:43,184 --> 00:37:47,264
Speaker 1: who's like this beautiful, perfect princess with like perfect straight

871
00:37:47,304 --> 00:37:50,464
Speaker 1: hair and a little dress on. And she come so no,

872
00:37:50,584 --> 00:37:51,864
Speaker 1: And that's never a pointed the thing.

873
00:37:52,864 --> 00:37:53,784
Speaker 2: I was like, what's her flaw?

874
00:37:54,624 --> 00:37:57,064
Speaker 1: What does a little girl's floor? It's Hillary, just like, hey,

875
00:37:57,064 --> 00:37:58,824
Speaker 1: why are you crying under the boardwalk And she's like,

876
00:37:58,864 --> 00:38:01,144
Speaker 1: I'm Cec, I'm Hillary. And then they go from this

877
00:38:01,144 --> 00:38:04,144
Speaker 1: little adventure together and they go and get ice cream

878
00:38:04,184 --> 00:38:05,304
Speaker 1: and they go and do all this stuff and then

879
00:38:05,344 --> 00:38:07,504
Speaker 1: the parents find them and rip them apart. Before they

880
00:38:07,544 --> 00:38:08,904
Speaker 1: do that, they exchange the.

881
00:38:10,624 --> 00:38:11,424
Speaker 2: Economic background.

882
00:38:11,504 --> 00:38:13,304
Speaker 1: Well yes, that, but her mom's like, get back to

883
00:38:13,344 --> 00:38:15,464
Speaker 1: this audition, and the dad's like, why would you run

884
00:38:15,504 --> 00:38:17,864
Speaker 1: away from us? We're like on holidays rarah. And so

885
00:38:18,144 --> 00:38:21,224
Speaker 1: before they do, they exchange addresses and they're like, write

886
00:38:21,224 --> 00:38:23,064
Speaker 1: to me, Please write to me. And then all through

887
00:38:23,064 --> 00:38:25,944
Speaker 1: their childhood and all through their teenage years their pen pals.

888
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:28,424
Speaker 1: So they write to each other and keep each other

889
00:38:28,504 --> 00:38:30,264
Speaker 1: like they they never see each other for like the

890
00:38:30,304 --> 00:38:33,824
Speaker 1: next fifteen years or whatever until they're adults. And Bett

891
00:38:33,864 --> 00:38:37,104
Speaker 1: Middler's character Cec is performing and into the room walks

892
00:38:37,104 --> 00:38:40,184
Speaker 1: this beautiful woman and she's like, it's me Hillary. And

893
00:38:40,264 --> 00:38:42,944
Speaker 1: Hillary has like run away from her life, and so

894
00:38:42,984 --> 00:38:44,824
Speaker 1: they move in together, and it's this whole thing of

895
00:38:44,864 --> 00:38:47,544
Speaker 1: like their friendship of like they move in together. They're

896
00:38:47,584 --> 00:38:49,584
Speaker 1: both like struggling to kind of make it in the world.

897
00:38:50,064 --> 00:38:52,144
Speaker 1: They kind of like both fall for the same guy.

898
00:38:52,264 --> 00:38:54,264
Speaker 1: So I have a bit of a blowout. And then

899
00:38:54,304 --> 00:38:56,864
Speaker 1: at one stage Hillary goes off back home to look

900
00:38:56,904 --> 00:38:58,944
Speaker 1: after her dying father and she falls in love with

901
00:38:58,984 --> 00:39:01,304
Speaker 1: someone of her world. So then they kind of have

902
00:39:01,464 --> 00:39:04,544
Speaker 1: this big like distance in their friendship, and this time,

903
00:39:04,664 --> 00:39:06,664
Speaker 1: like CEC's career kind of goes up, but then it

904
00:39:06,664 --> 00:39:09,144
Speaker 1: goes down. And then one day Hillary shows up back

905
00:39:09,144 --> 00:39:11,864
Speaker 1: on her doorstep say that her husband's cheated on her,

906
00:39:12,144 --> 00:39:14,944
Speaker 1: and she's also heavily pregnant, and so like they move

907
00:39:15,024 --> 00:39:16,744
Speaker 1: back in together, and it's this whole thing of like

908
00:39:16,904 --> 00:39:20,224
Speaker 1: the movie basically traces like their friendship from when they're

909
00:39:20,264 --> 00:39:24,944
Speaker 1: tiny little girls till when they're in their forties and

910
00:39:25,064 --> 00:39:29,864
Speaker 1: something horrifically bad happens, yeah, and kind of just chaces

911
00:39:29,864 --> 00:39:32,784
Speaker 1: this incredible lifelong friendship from these two women who come

912
00:39:32,824 --> 00:39:35,904
Speaker 1: from different worlds who really shouldn't have seen each other

913
00:39:35,984 --> 00:39:38,384
Speaker 1: again after that day they met under the boardwalk, but

914
00:39:38,664 --> 00:39:41,904
Speaker 1: just became each other's person because what happens is like,

915
00:39:41,944 --> 00:39:44,544
Speaker 1: so Hillary's husband's like cheating on her, so she ends

916
00:39:44,624 --> 00:39:47,184
Speaker 1: up raising her daughter Victoria alone, and then Cecy becomes

917
00:39:47,264 --> 00:39:49,624
Speaker 1: more popular and then one day she finds out she's very,

918
00:39:49,744 --> 00:39:52,944
Speaker 1: very sick, and she finds out she's going to die

919
00:39:52,984 --> 00:39:55,984
Speaker 1: pretty much, and CEC's got this big world tour booked

920
00:39:55,984 --> 00:39:58,824
Speaker 1: and things, and she's like, so it's called beaches. There's

921
00:39:58,824 --> 00:40:01,384
Speaker 1: a reason for that is that Hillary has this beach

922
00:40:01,384 --> 00:40:04,704
Speaker 1: house and she wants to have one last summer there

923
00:40:04,704 --> 00:40:06,824
Speaker 1: with her daughter Victoria, but she can't do it by herself,

924
00:40:06,864 --> 00:40:10,104
Speaker 1: and she wants Cec to give up her career at

925
00:40:10,104 --> 00:40:12,824
Speaker 1: that point, not forever, but just for that summer and

926
00:40:12,904 --> 00:40:15,744
Speaker 1: come with them. And then CEC's like, ohh I will

927
00:40:15,784 --> 00:40:17,504
Speaker 1: hire up because she's got so much money, she's so

928
00:40:17,584 --> 00:40:19,584
Speaker 1: rich and famous right now, She's like, I will hire

929
00:40:19,584 --> 00:40:22,064
Speaker 1: the best nurses, I will hire help and she can

930
00:40:22,104 --> 00:40:23,664
Speaker 1: to see Hilary is like oh okay, cause she's like

931
00:40:23,664 --> 00:40:25,464
Speaker 1: I could have done that. I'm rich, like I wanted

932
00:40:25,504 --> 00:40:28,104
Speaker 1: you to be there. And then so Cec does that,

933
00:40:28,184 --> 00:40:29,744
Speaker 1: she takes some and the three of them have this

934
00:40:29,864 --> 00:40:33,184
Speaker 1: incredible summer at the beach. So they met on a beach,

935
00:40:33,704 --> 00:40:36,224
Speaker 1: and then their friendship at this moment has also come

936
00:40:36,264 --> 00:40:39,344
Speaker 1: back to them being on the beach. And then later

937
00:40:39,384 --> 00:40:41,144
Speaker 1: on they find out that Hilary is and like the

938
00:40:41,184 --> 00:40:43,544
Speaker 1: last day of her life, they go back to the

939
00:40:43,544 --> 00:40:46,584
Speaker 1: beach so she can die there. And it's that song

940
00:40:46,584 --> 00:40:48,704
Speaker 1: win Beneath My Wings, which is the song that Bette

941
00:40:48,704 --> 00:40:51,824
Speaker 1: Midlis's character sings throughout the movie is the soundtrack to

942
00:40:51,864 --> 00:40:56,024
Speaker 1: the movie and that place, Oh it is so sad.

943
00:40:56,104 --> 00:40:58,864
Speaker 1: I have never seen anyone not watch this movie and

944
00:40:58,944 --> 00:41:02,264
Speaker 1: just sob and sob and sob and it's the two

945
00:41:02,344 --> 00:41:04,424
Speaker 1: of them just sitting on the beach together, just as

946
00:41:04,504 --> 00:41:06,824
Speaker 1: Hilary is about to die, and like Cecy's just holding

947
00:41:06,864 --> 00:41:10,144
Speaker 1: her hand and smiling, and then it cuts to a funeral.

948
00:41:11,104 --> 00:41:13,784
Speaker 1: So she had asked Cec if she would look after

949
00:41:13,824 --> 00:41:15,904
Speaker 1: her daughter because her daughter's don't like six at the time.

950
00:41:16,464 --> 00:41:19,704
Speaker 1: So the last scene is of her singing on stage

951
00:41:19,744 --> 00:41:21,424
Speaker 1: and she kind of looks up and she's singing the

952
00:41:21,464 --> 00:41:23,144
Speaker 1: song at the end that she was singing when they

953
00:41:23,144 --> 00:41:25,784
Speaker 1: first met as little girls on stage. And then it

954
00:41:25,824 --> 00:41:28,344
Speaker 1: shows her walking off with Victorian taking her hand and

955
00:41:28,384 --> 00:41:32,864
Speaker 1: like telling his stories about her mother. Fuck yeah, I

956
00:41:32,904 --> 00:41:34,864
Speaker 1: feel like I'm gonna cry just tell you about that.

957
00:41:35,024 --> 00:41:38,704
Speaker 1: This is It is such a good movie. It is

958
00:41:38,944 --> 00:41:41,144
Speaker 1: a rollercoaster of a movie, like it has at one

959
00:41:41,184 --> 00:41:43,824
Speaker 1: stage like Bette Midler's like on the screen just like

960
00:41:43,904 --> 00:41:46,424
Speaker 1: singing this wild song about having big boobs in this

961
00:41:46,424 --> 00:41:49,424
Speaker 1: Broadway play she's in, and the next minute, like killer

962
00:41:49,584 --> 00:41:52,624
Speaker 1: is like collapsing from this Cardio. I think Cardio mypopathy

963
00:41:53,024 --> 00:41:55,224
Speaker 1: that she has finding out she's gonna die, like it's

964
00:41:55,264 --> 00:41:58,464
Speaker 1: a it's a wild ride, but it's very much of

965
00:41:58,504 --> 00:42:00,824
Speaker 1: like again. It's it's one of those movies that has

966
00:42:00,864 --> 00:42:04,024
Speaker 1: become the defining movie about friendship, about female friendship and

967
00:42:04,064 --> 00:42:05,624
Speaker 1: what people will do and what they can go through

968
00:42:05,744 --> 00:42:08,544
Speaker 1: because they have some all out like crazy fights, and

969
00:42:08,544 --> 00:42:10,744
Speaker 1: they have these long estrangements and they have of things,

970
00:42:10,744 --> 00:42:13,064
Speaker 1: but they always come back to each other and are

971
00:42:13,104 --> 00:42:16,104
Speaker 1: each other's person to the moment where they're on that

972
00:42:16,144 --> 00:42:20,184
Speaker 1: beach together as Hilary takes her last breath Star. So

973
00:42:20,384 --> 00:42:22,904
Speaker 1: it is an iconic movie. Again, one of those things

974
00:42:22,904 --> 00:42:24,624
Speaker 1: where like you hear Beaches and all of a sudden

975
00:42:24,664 --> 00:42:27,984
Speaker 1: it's become like shorthand for female friendship, sticking with that

976
00:42:28,024 --> 00:42:31,224
Speaker 1: person finding a friendship and how the best love story

977
00:42:31,264 --> 00:42:33,224
Speaker 1: in your life doesn't have to be romantic, could be

978
00:42:33,304 --> 00:42:36,704
Speaker 1: just be your best friend. Sorry, I feel like someone

979
00:42:36,784 --> 00:42:39,064
Speaker 1: might have been really depressing. But also sometimes you know,

980
00:42:39,424 --> 00:42:40,624
Speaker 1: light and shade, that's what we're.

981
00:42:40,464 --> 00:42:42,344
Speaker 2: Hear for mine shade.

982
00:42:42,424 --> 00:42:44,424
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I feel like you really need to watch

983
00:42:44,464 --> 00:42:47,104
Speaker 1: Thelma and Luise, and you really need to watch Beaches,

984
00:42:47,344 --> 00:42:48,784
Speaker 1: like I know you probably think that I've just told

985
00:42:48,784 --> 00:42:51,184
Speaker 1: you too much and potentially I spoiled it. But I've

986
00:42:51,184 --> 00:42:52,584
Speaker 1: only skimmed the surface.

987
00:42:52,824 --> 00:42:53,544
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

988
00:42:54,024 --> 00:42:58,144
Speaker 1: Like that movie spans like Beaches. Oh please, don't don't

989
00:42:58,184 --> 00:42:59,664
Speaker 1: want to don't watch them the.

990
00:42:59,584 --> 00:43:01,744
Speaker 2: Same night between.

991
00:43:02,504 --> 00:43:04,704
Speaker 1: What it is in between? Yeah, don't. I would just

992
00:43:04,744 --> 00:43:06,904
Speaker 1: recommend anyone don't watch Thelma and Luise and Beach is

993
00:43:06,944 --> 00:43:07,384
Speaker 1: the same. No.

994
00:43:07,784 --> 00:43:09,504
Speaker 2: I think, like what should be the order of all

995
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:14,184
Speaker 2: of my recommendations. I mean, start off Thelma and Louise, Yeah,

996
00:43:14,224 --> 00:43:18,664
Speaker 2: and then maybe like two light ones, yes, book smart Bottoms,

997
00:43:19,584 --> 00:43:20,744
Speaker 2: maybe Beaches.

998
00:43:20,624 --> 00:43:22,584
Speaker 1: And then maybe joy Ride and the joy Ride and

999
00:43:22,584 --> 00:43:23,424
Speaker 1: then bended like began.

1000
00:43:23,584 --> 00:43:23,824
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1001
00:43:23,984 --> 00:43:26,864
