Yeah, 11 00:00:44,304 --> 00:00:47,264 Speaker 1: so that you cannot do your housework, not talk to 12 00:00:47,304 --> 00:00:49,104 Speaker 1: your loved ones, just sit in front of a screen 13 00:00:49,144 --> 00:00:50,984 Speaker 1: or weekend because you know, at the end of the day, 14 00:00:50,984 --> 00:00:51,704 Speaker 1: that's what we want to do. 15 00:00:51,824 --> 00:00:54,184 Speaker 2: There are so many streaming services now this is a 16 00:00:54,504 --> 00:00:55,904 Speaker 2: you know, a public service. 17 00:00:56,264 --> 00:00:58,904 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, yeah, exactly. That's what so many people say 18 00:00:58,904 --> 00:01:00,184 Speaker 1: to me as they come to me, like what should 19 00:01:00,184 --> 00:01:01,664 Speaker 1: I watch this weekend? And I was like, WHOA, Well, 20 00:01:01,824 --> 00:01:03,504 Speaker 1: I have to ask you a few questions first, which 21 00:01:03,544 --> 00:01:05,144 Speaker 1: streamers do you have? What are you into you? What 22 00:01:05,184 --> 00:01:07,304 Speaker 1: are you looking for? Because there's so many choices, So 23 00:01:07,384 --> 00:01:09,984 Speaker 1: we waded through all the new releases and we pulled 24 00:01:09,984 --> 00:01:12,864 Speaker 1: out the ones. First of all, I have to slightly 25 00:01:12,944 --> 00:01:14,944 Speaker 1: break a rule that I said in place when I 26 00:01:14,984 --> 00:01:16,744 Speaker 1: came out with Weekend Watch when we started the spill 27 00:01:16,864 --> 00:01:18,704 Speaker 1: going back into the law, is that it has to 28 00:01:18,744 --> 00:01:21,384 Speaker 1: be something that came out this week. But I wasn't 29 00:01:21,424 --> 00:01:23,584 Speaker 1: here last week. I was on the Sunshine Coast in 30 00:01:23,624 --> 00:01:26,864 Speaker 1: torrential downpour, so I missed that episode and I didn't 31 00:01:26,864 --> 00:01:28,864 Speaker 1: get to tell people about the new TV show that 32 00:01:28,904 --> 00:01:31,424 Speaker 1: I'm absolutely obsessed with. I'm just gonna slip it in role. 33 00:01:31,624 --> 00:01:34,624 Speaker 2: Okay, real again, Look, I am not a rule follower, 34 00:01:34,704 --> 00:01:36,264 Speaker 2: so you just do you. 35 00:01:35,864 --> 00:01:37,344 Speaker 1: No, But I usually go amunt at people, and I 36 00:01:37,384 --> 00:01:41,504 Speaker 1: yell at Emily every time she tries to do this. Yeah, 37 00:01:41,704 --> 00:01:43,744 Speaker 1: I know, she just goes off the rails when I'm 38 00:01:43,744 --> 00:01:46,464 Speaker 1: not here. So it's called The Studio. It's a new 39 00:01:46,504 --> 00:01:48,664 Speaker 1: TV series that has just come out on Apple TV 40 00:01:48,744 --> 00:01:52,664 Speaker 1: Plus and stars Seth Rogan, who I mean, like, you know, 41 00:01:52,664 --> 00:01:54,264 Speaker 1: He's had a few hits and misses over the years, 42 00:01:54,304 --> 00:01:56,664 Speaker 1: but overall, I really love the content that he makes. 43 00:01:56,944 --> 00:01:59,504 Speaker 1: Being the head of Continental is the only job I've 44 00:01:59,504 --> 00:02:02,904 Speaker 1: ever wanted, and I got into all this because you know, 45 00:02:02,984 --> 00:02:07,224 Speaker 1: I love movies, but now I have this fear that 46 00:02:08,304 --> 00:02:13,944 Speaker 1: my job is to ruin them. As Amirk Gregor prestige 47 00:02:13,944 --> 00:02:17,424 Speaker 1: films and box office hits, those are not mutually exclusive. 48 00:02:17,744 --> 00:02:21,224 Speaker 1: We can do both, and we will do both. Matt, 49 00:02:21,344 --> 00:02:21,744 Speaker 1: I get it. 50 00:02:21,824 --> 00:02:23,624 Speaker 2: You want to make great art and make a billion 51 00:02:23,704 --> 00:02:26,344 Speaker 2: dollars doing it. Well, guess what, that never happens, and 52 00:02:26,344 --> 00:02:27,824 Speaker 2: you're going to screw everything up trying. 53 00:02:27,624 --> 00:02:31,744 Speaker 1: To make it happen. So he stars as Matt Remick, 54 00:02:31,824 --> 00:02:34,464 Speaker 1: and he's the head of this film production company called 55 00:02:34,504 --> 00:02:40,584 Speaker 1: Continental Studios in this fictionalized version of Hollywood, and he's 56 00:02:40,624 --> 00:02:42,664 Speaker 1: one of those people who's like believes in them making 57 00:02:42,744 --> 00:02:45,384 Speaker 1: like really good movies and kind of trying to save Hollywood. 58 00:02:45,824 --> 00:02:48,544 Speaker 1: And when he gets promoted to head of film production, 59 00:02:48,664 --> 00:02:52,384 Speaker 1: he's trying to save this floundering film company. And the 60 00:02:52,464 --> 00:02:55,384 Speaker 1: cast of this is so stacked. So you've got Catherine O'Hara, 61 00:02:55,424 --> 00:02:57,784 Speaker 1: who people would love from Shitz Creek many other things. 62 00:02:57,784 --> 00:03:00,904 Speaker 1: That's her main role. I'm Alone, Yes, and she's in 63 00:03:00,904 --> 00:03:02,744 Speaker 1: the new season of the Last of Us. She's got 64 00:03:02,744 --> 00:03:04,904 Speaker 1: a lot going on the moment. So she plays the 65 00:03:04,944 --> 00:03:07,864 Speaker 1: former studiohead in his mentor. And then we've got Ike 66 00:03:07,944 --> 00:03:10,224 Speaker 1: baron Holtz, who, again I know he's done so many 67 00:03:10,224 --> 00:03:12,904 Speaker 1: other things, but I will always, always, always love him 68 00:03:12,904 --> 00:03:16,184 Speaker 1: from the MINDI Project. He's an executive there, Chase Sue 69 00:03:16,184 --> 00:03:20,104 Speaker 1: Wonders is Matt's assistant. She's incredible, And Catherine Hahn is 70 00:03:20,184 --> 00:03:22,584 Speaker 1: the studio's head of marketing, and again, you know, she's 71 00:03:22,584 --> 00:03:24,664 Speaker 1: had a great couple of years with Agatha. All along. 72 00:03:25,064 --> 00:03:27,224 Speaker 1: The cast is so good in this. So it's a 73 00:03:27,264 --> 00:03:30,024 Speaker 1: fictionalized studio, but a lot of celebrities are in this 74 00:03:30,144 --> 00:03:34,704 Speaker 1: and they play these versions of themselves. Most notably Martin 75 00:03:34,744 --> 00:03:38,504 Speaker 1: Scorsese is in the first episode and playing himself but 76 00:03:38,584 --> 00:03:41,144 Speaker 1: like an over the top version of himself who's trying 77 00:03:41,144 --> 00:03:43,264 Speaker 1: to get this movie made with Matt, and he's so 78 00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:45,584 Speaker 1: so good in it. We also have Ice Cube, Zoe 79 00:03:45,704 --> 00:03:49,304 Speaker 1: kravitzach Efron, Olivia Ryld throughout the series, all playing themselves 80 00:03:49,824 --> 00:03:53,224 Speaker 1: and it's funny and it's satire and it's so cutting 81 00:03:53,344 --> 00:03:57,864 Speaker 1: about the Hollywood industry. But also it's this idea that 82 00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:59,864 Speaker 1: a lot of actors and filmmakers are struggling with the 83 00:03:59,864 --> 00:04:02,304 Speaker 1: moment where they don't want to just keep making superhero 84 00:04:02,384 --> 00:04:05,064 Speaker 1: movies and keep making ip and keep making spinoffs. They 85 00:04:05,064 --> 00:04:07,024 Speaker 1: want to make original movies and they can't do it. 86 00:04:07,464 --> 00:04:09,944 Speaker 1: And what I love about this series, apart from how 87 00:04:09,984 --> 00:04:12,984 Speaker 1: funny and how original it is, is that it's very 88 00:04:13,024 --> 00:04:17,064 Speaker 1: loosely based on Seth Rogen and his longtime creative partner 89 00:04:17,064 --> 00:04:21,744 Speaker 1: Evan Goldberg. Their experience was Sony and the Sony email hack. 90 00:04:21,824 --> 00:04:24,464 Speaker 1: Do you remember that? I do? I mean, I know 91 00:04:24,504 --> 00:04:26,584 Speaker 1: it was terrible and people lost their jobs and it 92 00:04:26,624 --> 00:04:28,784 Speaker 1: was a security issue. It was a whole thing back 93 00:04:28,824 --> 00:04:32,224 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. That email hack was my life. Like 94 00:04:32,304 --> 00:04:35,504 Speaker 1: reading those emails was basically if you're not across it. 95 00:04:35,504 --> 00:04:37,944 Speaker 1: It was off the back of this movie that Seth 96 00:04:38,024 --> 00:04:40,824 Speaker 1: Rogan and Evan Goldberg did call the interview. It triggered 97 00:04:40,864 --> 00:04:44,064 Speaker 1: this whole international security scandal. And then all of the 98 00:04:44,144 --> 00:04:47,184 Speaker 1: emails from Sony, all the executives, all the emails they 99 00:04:47,224 --> 00:04:50,024 Speaker 1: had sent, all the emails that all these huge Hollywood 100 00:04:50,064 --> 00:04:52,184 Speaker 1: stars had sent back to them. Email chains were meant 101 00:04:52,184 --> 00:04:55,304 Speaker 1: to be kept secret with scandals and saying terrible things 102 00:04:55,304 --> 00:04:58,184 Speaker 1: about people like Angelina Jolly just to name one, were 103 00:04:58,264 --> 00:05:00,984 Speaker 1: all made public and we could read all those emails. 104 00:05:01,504 --> 00:05:03,304 Speaker 1: What a time to be alive. It was like a drug. 105 00:05:03,624 --> 00:05:05,304 Speaker 1: I read all of them. I know I shouldn't have, 106 00:05:05,344 --> 00:05:07,104 Speaker 1: but I couldn't help it. They were out in the world. Anyway. 107 00:05:07,184 --> 00:05:09,424 Speaker 2: I have a question about this because it's such a 108 00:05:09,504 --> 00:05:14,344 Speaker 2: sort of Hollywood centric series. If he's not in that world, 109 00:05:14,704 --> 00:05:17,184 Speaker 2: is it still interesting? 110 00:05:17,344 --> 00:05:20,464 Speaker 1: Like yes, good question, because a few people have said that, Yes, absolutely, 111 00:05:20,464 --> 00:05:23,064 Speaker 1: because it could almost just be like a wild workplace 112 00:05:23,144 --> 00:05:25,504 Speaker 1: comedy even if you don't know who these people who 113 00:05:25,504 --> 00:05:27,744 Speaker 1: are playing themselves, although a lot of them are huge stars, 114 00:05:27,744 --> 00:05:30,784 Speaker 1: so you would You could just watch this completely fictionalized, 115 00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:32,504 Speaker 1: not knowing who these people are, and just be like, 116 00:05:32,864 --> 00:05:37,024 Speaker 1: this isn't over the top, funny workplace comedy with great performances, 117 00:05:37,024 --> 00:05:38,544 Speaker 1: and you can follow it along. You don't have to 118 00:05:38,584 --> 00:05:40,184 Speaker 1: know any of the backstory. You don't have to know 119 00:05:40,184 --> 00:05:41,624 Speaker 1: if you if you don't know who Martin Scorre says 120 00:05:41,744 --> 00:05:46,144 Speaker 1: is when he pops up on screen, Scott, oh, how 121 00:05:46,144 --> 00:05:46,704 Speaker 1: did I say it? 122 00:05:46,784 --> 00:05:46,904 Speaker 2: So? 123 00:05:46,944 --> 00:05:50,344 Speaker 1: How is the Scorseseco? And then he's I think there's 124 00:05:50,344 --> 00:05:52,784 Speaker 1: some people that sayc I know, I should go into 125 00:05:52,904 --> 00:05:55,504 Speaker 1: his daughter. His daughter, Franceresca is like huge on TikTok 126 00:05:55,504 --> 00:05:56,904 Speaker 1: and he jumps in that I should go see how 127 00:05:56,904 --> 00:06:00,784 Speaker 1: she says it. Yes, So, because that email hack offered 128 00:06:00,784 --> 00:06:04,704 Speaker 1: this really damaging look into the inner workings of Hollywood, 129 00:06:04,784 --> 00:06:07,224 Speaker 1: the series kind of plays on that. But overall it's 130 00:06:07,264 --> 00:06:09,504 Speaker 1: just very funny, Like if you're a film in Hollywood, 131 00:06:09,504 --> 00:06:11,904 Speaker 1: buff you'll love all the inside jokes. And if you 132 00:06:11,944 --> 00:06:14,064 Speaker 1: just love a good comedy, you'll love it as well. 133 00:06:14,104 --> 00:06:16,624 Speaker 1: So it's out now on Apple TV. Plus they've released 134 00:06:16,624 --> 00:06:18,704 Speaker 1: a few episodes. They're going to be dropping them weekly. 135 00:06:19,344 --> 00:06:21,584 Speaker 1: It's just so good. I haven't watched a TV show 136 00:06:21,624 --> 00:06:24,024 Speaker 1: like this original and this interesting for so long. Like, 137 00:06:24,064 --> 00:06:25,904 Speaker 1: I just love it so much. Okay, that was a 138 00:06:26,064 --> 00:06:28,264 Speaker 1: rave review. That's why I had to sneak it in. 139 00:06:28,304 --> 00:06:29,904 Speaker 1: I'm like I had to tell the people. 140 00:06:31,664 --> 00:06:33,584 Speaker 2: The one that I've chosen. This week, we're going on 141 00:06:33,624 --> 00:06:34,824 Speaker 2: a completely different direction. 142 00:06:34,944 --> 00:06:35,144 Speaker 1: Now. 143 00:06:35,184 --> 00:06:38,184 Speaker 2: If you don't know this about me, LB, I am 144 00:06:38,224 --> 00:06:43,624 Speaker 2: a huge true crime doco fanatic. Like I absolutely adore 145 00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:45,264 Speaker 2: documentaries and true crime. 146 00:06:45,704 --> 00:06:47,064 Speaker 1: Wow, what is it about that? 147 00:06:47,344 --> 00:06:47,704 Speaker 2: I don't know? 148 00:06:47,944 --> 00:06:48,744 Speaker 1: Just freak you out. 149 00:06:49,144 --> 00:06:51,624 Speaker 2: No, I just love it. It just draws me in. 150 00:06:51,664 --> 00:06:55,264 Speaker 2: I find it really fascinating. So there's a new series 151 00:06:55,344 --> 00:06:57,824 Speaker 2: on Netflix, a new true crime series. It's a three 152 00:06:57,864 --> 00:07:00,824 Speaker 2: part series. It's called Gone Girls, The Long Island serial Killer. 153 00:07:01,544 --> 00:07:05,024 Speaker 2: Now it was only released earlier this week. Already there 154 00:07:05,104 --> 00:07:07,064 Speaker 2: is huge type behind it. 155 00:07:07,904 --> 00:07:10,144 Speaker 1: I'm on one system with food flies. 156 00:07:10,424 --> 00:07:17,744 Speaker 2: Oh do you need the police fight? Shannon Gilbert disappeared 157 00:07:17,744 --> 00:07:18,984 Speaker 2: in May twenty ten. 158 00:07:19,184 --> 00:07:22,624 Speaker 1: I will continue to fight until I bring my girl home. 159 00:07:23,464 --> 00:07:26,144 Speaker 1: Months after Shannon disappeared, police were searching the side of 160 00:07:26,184 --> 00:07:28,624 Speaker 1: Ocean Parkway and they learned that this was a bigger 161 00:07:28,624 --> 00:07:32,984 Speaker 1: case than they imagine. Police are on Long Island searching 162 00:07:33,024 --> 00:07:35,664 Speaker 1: for a serial killer. We had somebody who's targeting sex 163 00:07:35,704 --> 00:07:39,864 Speaker 1: workers basically with impunity, right under everyone's nose. We found 164 00:07:39,904 --> 00:07:42,704 Speaker 1: three sets of humor remains from one that it's unbelievable. 165 00:07:42,904 --> 00:07:46,104 Speaker 1: Fifth person six, seven, eight, nine, ten, none of them 166 00:07:46,144 --> 00:07:51,064 Speaker 1: Shannon Gilbert. It's been sixteen years. I was so tired 167 00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:52,944 Speaker 1: being sad. I wish angry. 168 00:07:53,264 --> 00:07:58,664 Speaker 2: Sure, there's very little coverage when the sex worker goals 169 00:07:58,704 --> 00:08:01,664 Speaker 2: off the grid. Now I'm about one and a half 170 00:08:01,664 --> 00:08:05,744 Speaker 2: episode seen. Cannot look away. I cannot look away. It 171 00:08:05,824 --> 00:08:08,224 Speaker 2: is fascinating. So basically, just to give you a little 172 00:08:08,224 --> 00:08:11,904 Speaker 2: bit of a backstory into Ony ten, there was a 173 00:08:11,984 --> 00:08:15,104 Speaker 2: series of bodies that were found on Long Island. If 174 00:08:15,104 --> 00:08:17,504 Speaker 2: you don't know where Long Island is, just off Manhattan. 175 00:08:17,504 --> 00:08:19,584 Speaker 2: If you think about where the Hamptons is, there's a 176 00:08:19,584 --> 00:08:23,264 Speaker 2: massive Long Island is the Hamptons evictily, so just before 177 00:08:23,264 --> 00:08:25,384 Speaker 2: the Hamptons there is this area where it's a little 178 00:08:25,384 --> 00:08:28,344 Speaker 2: bit more suburban and not as affluent. And so there 179 00:08:28,384 --> 00:08:32,304 Speaker 2: was about ten eleven bodies found in this same area 180 00:08:33,064 --> 00:08:37,064 Speaker 2: in twenty ten around that time. So basically, this three 181 00:08:37,104 --> 00:08:40,944 Speaker 2: part series is following this serial killer. And all of 182 00:08:40,984 --> 00:08:43,064 Speaker 2: these women were from sort of the New York tri 183 00:08:43,144 --> 00:08:47,704 Speaker 2: said area, so Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. Now, 184 00:08:48,544 --> 00:08:51,904 Speaker 2: all of these women were sex workers, so there was 185 00:08:51,944 --> 00:08:54,624 Speaker 2: a lot of discourse around the fact that these murders 186 00:08:54,664 --> 00:08:57,344 Speaker 2: were ignored because these women were sex workers, and oh, 187 00:08:57,384 --> 00:08:59,624 Speaker 2: well she's doing that, what does she expect? You know, 188 00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:00,824 Speaker 2: the classic. 189 00:09:00,544 --> 00:09:01,464 Speaker 1: Dictive blaming thing. 190 00:09:02,024 --> 00:09:04,264 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what the end is. It's gripping, 191 00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:08,784 Speaker 2: it's fascinating, it is devastating the way that these families 192 00:09:08,864 --> 00:09:11,744 Speaker 2: and these women were treated, the way that the law 193 00:09:11,824 --> 00:09:14,584 Speaker 2: enforcement dealt with it. If you're a true crime fan, 194 00:09:14,784 --> 00:09:18,904 Speaker 2: you will absolutely be enthralled by this. This also happened 195 00:09:19,024 --> 00:09:21,104 Speaker 2: not that long ago, and I was thinking about it. 196 00:09:21,104 --> 00:09:23,624 Speaker 2: I was in New York in twenty eleven on a 197 00:09:23,784 --> 00:09:27,304 Speaker 2: trip like right when this was happening. Not that I 198 00:09:27,704 --> 00:09:29,744 Speaker 2: was anything to do with it, but. 199 00:09:29,344 --> 00:09:31,304 Speaker 1: It's always interesting when you think about like sometimes you 200 00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:33,584 Speaker 1: can watch a documentary or something and it just seems 201 00:09:33,624 --> 00:09:35,864 Speaker 1: so far removed, and I think that's like sometimes people 202 00:09:35,904 --> 00:09:38,304 Speaker 1: forget that it's real life. But when you think about 203 00:09:38,344 --> 00:09:40,784 Speaker 1: the fact that you be so close to that area 204 00:09:40,824 --> 00:09:43,824 Speaker 1: and it's not like this crazy world that doesn't exist. 205 00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:46,944 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, serial killers. There was this huge thing 206 00:09:46,984 --> 00:09:50,344 Speaker 2: in like the sixties, particularly sixties and seventies where you know, 207 00:09:50,544 --> 00:09:52,904 Speaker 2: you're Ted Bundy's and John Wayne Gacy's and all of 208 00:09:52,944 --> 00:09:56,664 Speaker 2: those really big cereal killers that they haven't been as common, 209 00:09:56,664 --> 00:09:59,064 Speaker 2: but there's you know, these comparisons to Jack the Ripper 210 00:09:59,144 --> 00:10:03,824 Speaker 2: because this particular killer targeted sex workers. If you are 211 00:10:03,944 --> 00:10:07,624 Speaker 2: interested in true crime, you will really enjoy it. It 212 00:10:07,744 --> 00:10:11,184 Speaker 2: is tragic, it's enthralling, and it's really hard to look 213 00:10:11,224 --> 00:10:11,944 Speaker 2: away from. 214 00:10:12,104 --> 00:10:14,464 Speaker 1: Oh wow, So on Netflix, right on Netflix. 215 00:10:14,464 --> 00:10:16,304 Speaker 2: And it came out on the thirty first of March, 216 00:10:16,384 --> 00:10:18,104 Speaker 2: so a couple of days ago, So you can watch 217 00:10:18,104 --> 00:10:18,704 Speaker 2: that this weekend. 218 00:10:18,824 --> 00:10:21,464 Speaker 1: Okay, my other recommendation, which only came out yesterday. So 219 00:10:21,504 --> 00:10:23,544 Speaker 1: this is very much within the bounds of we can watch. 220 00:10:23,584 --> 00:10:26,344 Speaker 1: So we're back on track here. It's a new series, 221 00:10:26,424 --> 00:10:29,104 Speaker 1: a comedy drama series that just came out on Disney 222 00:10:29,104 --> 00:10:33,264 Speaker 1: Plus last night called Dying for six. My cancer is back. 223 00:10:33,464 --> 00:10:35,984 Speaker 1: I'm too young. I haven't done anything with my life. 224 00:10:36,024 --> 00:10:38,944 Speaker 1: I know it's cheesy, but everybody has a bucket list. 225 00:10:39,824 --> 00:10:42,024 Speaker 1: We'll never even had an orgasm with another person. 226 00:10:42,544 --> 00:10:47,024 Speaker 2: Good, we have something for your list. Orgasm with another 227 00:10:47,104 --> 00:10:56,144 Speaker 2: Personason cad you into dating app. 228 00:10:56,264 --> 00:10:59,504 Speaker 1: You're compromise. You can't just sleep with strangers. 229 00:10:59,784 --> 00:11:01,184 Speaker 2: This is about how I feel on it, and I 230 00:11:01,224 --> 00:11:02,184 Speaker 2: want to feel things. 231 00:11:02,944 --> 00:11:04,664 Speaker 1: Would you take a picture of me slapping my own 232 00:11:04,704 --> 00:11:08,544 Speaker 1: but butthole or no butthole, a hint of butthole? Oh 233 00:11:08,784 --> 00:11:09,624 Speaker 1: be yourself. 234 00:11:09,744 --> 00:11:11,064 Speaker 2: Actually. 235 00:11:11,704 --> 00:11:13,944 Speaker 1: So it's based on a podcast series at the same 236 00:11:14,024 --> 00:11:16,424 Speaker 1: name by Wandery. I've listened to that yet you have? 237 00:11:16,664 --> 00:11:17,984 Speaker 1: What did you think? I haven't listened to it. It's 238 00:11:18,064 --> 00:11:20,944 Speaker 1: really really good, really amazing. Does it feel like it 239 00:11:20,944 --> 00:11:21,824 Speaker 1: should be a TV show? 240 00:11:21,984 --> 00:11:22,224 Speaker 2: Yes? 241 00:11:23,144 --> 00:11:25,224 Speaker 1: Well, I think this has been like a huge global 242 00:11:25,264 --> 00:11:26,824 Speaker 1: podcast as one, so I think that's why there was 243 00:11:26,864 --> 00:11:29,624 Speaker 1: so much excitement, so much height for this series. So 244 00:11:29,864 --> 00:11:33,184 Speaker 1: it stars Michelle Williams, who I will just watch in anything. 245 00:11:33,184 --> 00:11:36,464 Speaker 1: I find her such a fascinating actress, and I love 246 00:11:36,544 --> 00:11:39,544 Speaker 1: that she was this huge teen star on Dawson's Creek 247 00:11:39,584 --> 00:11:42,504 Speaker 1: and she very famously saved up all of her earnings 248 00:11:42,544 --> 00:11:45,264 Speaker 1: from Dawson's Creek so that when the show finished she 249 00:11:45,344 --> 00:11:47,704 Speaker 1: could go off and like be in plays or do 250 00:11:48,184 --> 00:11:51,624 Speaker 1: little independent movies, or go to like take more drama classes. 251 00:11:51,664 --> 00:11:54,984 Speaker 1: Because she's always been this serious actress. And it kind 252 00:11:54,984 --> 00:11:57,384 Speaker 1: of kills me that she's had so many Academy Award 253 00:11:57,384 --> 00:12:00,144 Speaker 1: nominations and hasn't won one yet, but she will. And 254 00:12:00,264 --> 00:12:03,384 Speaker 1: also interestingly, she hasn't acted for a couple of years, 255 00:12:03,384 --> 00:12:05,664 Speaker 1: and when she was doing the press for this, she 256 00:12:05,704 --> 00:12:07,944 Speaker 1: said that wasn't intentional. She didn't mean to take this 257 00:12:07,984 --> 00:12:10,784 Speaker 1: whole big break from Hollywood, even though she has little 258 00:12:10,824 --> 00:12:13,824 Speaker 1: kids at home. So she has like Matilda Ledger, who 259 00:12:14,024 --> 00:12:16,864 Speaker 1: she had with her late partner, Heath Ledger, and then 260 00:12:17,104 --> 00:12:19,584 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago fell madly in love with 261 00:12:19,664 --> 00:12:21,504 Speaker 1: the man that she married and then they had two 262 00:12:21,584 --> 00:12:23,744 Speaker 1: kids together and they live on a farm like outside 263 00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:25,664 Speaker 1: of New York and it's a whole thing. She's very private, 264 00:12:25,664 --> 00:12:27,624 Speaker 1: but I weirdly know that amount of information about her 265 00:12:27,944 --> 00:12:30,984 Speaker 1: busy and I know, well, that's the thing. I feel 266 00:12:31,024 --> 00:12:33,024 Speaker 1: like I get all my information at Michelle Williams from 267 00:12:33,104 --> 00:12:35,704 Speaker 1: Busy Phillips because I listened to that podcast. They're best friends. 268 00:12:35,784 --> 00:12:37,624 Speaker 1: Michelle Williams has been on it, even though she never 269 00:12:37,664 --> 00:12:40,024 Speaker 1: does stuff like that, but they're just like such good 270 00:12:40,024 --> 00:12:43,104 Speaker 1: friends from Dawson's Creek Days. So Michelle Williams said that 271 00:12:43,144 --> 00:12:44,504 Speaker 1: she didn't mean to take a few years off, but 272 00:12:44,544 --> 00:12:48,184 Speaker 1: she was just waiting for something to really capture her interest. 273 00:12:48,304 --> 00:12:50,384 Speaker 1: And because she's at that stage of her career now 274 00:12:50,384 --> 00:12:52,944 Speaker 1: where she can just do things that she feels passionate about, 275 00:12:53,344 --> 00:12:55,664 Speaker 1: it took a couple of years for something to come along, 276 00:12:56,024 --> 00:12:58,024 Speaker 1: and then she read the script for Dying for Sex 277 00:12:58,064 --> 00:13:00,464 Speaker 1: and was like, I have to do this. So she 278 00:13:00,504 --> 00:13:03,504 Speaker 1: plays this woman Molly. She's in her forties and she's 279 00:13:03,584 --> 00:13:06,544 Speaker 1: diagnosed with breast cancer. She finds out the breast cancer 280 00:13:06,624 --> 00:13:09,184 Speaker 1: has spread and she doesn't have very long to live, 281 00:13:09,504 --> 00:13:12,784 Speaker 1: and her reaction to that is she gets very fixated 282 00:13:12,784 --> 00:13:14,544 Speaker 1: and very upset on the fact that she hasn't lived 283 00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,384 Speaker 1: a sexually fulfilled life. She's been married to her husband 284 00:13:17,384 --> 00:13:19,984 Speaker 1: for fifteen years, but she's only ever orgasmed by herself. 285 00:13:20,224 --> 00:13:23,344 Speaker 1: So she ends her marriage. She moves in with her 286 00:13:23,504 --> 00:13:26,344 Speaker 1: best friend Nicki, who's played by Jenny Slat. So so 287 00:13:26,544 --> 00:13:29,184 Speaker 1: incredible is this. So she gets rid of her husband, Steve. 288 00:13:29,224 --> 00:13:31,264 Speaker 1: Steve's kicked to the curve. She moves in with Nicki, 289 00:13:31,624 --> 00:13:33,664 Speaker 1: who takes on the role of her care and then 290 00:13:33,704 --> 00:13:36,104 Speaker 1: she goes in this sort of like quest, this odyssey 291 00:13:36,624 --> 00:13:40,664 Speaker 1: to have all these incredible sexual experiences. So in that way, 292 00:13:40,744 --> 00:13:45,624 Speaker 1: it's this really like sexually charred show, and there's all 293 00:13:45,624 --> 00:13:48,984 Speaker 1: these different sex scenes and it's really interesting to watch. 294 00:13:49,024 --> 00:13:51,904 Speaker 1: But then you're also watching this woman whose body is 295 00:13:51,944 --> 00:13:54,824 Speaker 1: becoming just ravaged by this disease have to deal with 296 00:13:54,824 --> 00:13:56,224 Speaker 1: that and have to deal with the end of her 297 00:13:56,264 --> 00:13:59,344 Speaker 1: life and not wanting to think about that and wanting 298 00:13:59,384 --> 00:14:01,624 Speaker 1: to sort of just go off and almost cram like 299 00:14:01,664 --> 00:14:04,944 Speaker 1: a lifetime's worth of sex into these last few years 300 00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:06,664 Speaker 1: that she has left. And I know that's making it 301 00:14:06,664 --> 00:14:08,944 Speaker 1: sound like it's a bit sad, but it's. 302 00:14:08,944 --> 00:14:11,464 Speaker 2: And I think, having Liz into the podcast, this is 303 00:14:11,544 --> 00:14:14,264 Speaker 2: a true story. So this is what this woman did, 304 00:14:14,464 --> 00:14:17,504 Speaker 2: But it's really about like self discovery, it's about finding 305 00:14:17,544 --> 00:14:20,024 Speaker 2: who she is, and it's really funny as well. 306 00:14:20,584 --> 00:14:22,704 Speaker 1: I don't know if that comes across it. Does They've 307 00:14:22,744 --> 00:14:25,104 Speaker 1: really leaned into the human and I think a lot 308 00:14:25,144 --> 00:14:26,784 Speaker 1: of that comes from Jenny Slaate, Like she's such an 309 00:14:26,824 --> 00:14:29,464 Speaker 1: amazing comedic actress. But if you don't know Whames's funny in. 310 00:14:29,424 --> 00:14:31,184 Speaker 2: It, if you don't know who Jenny Slaate is, if 311 00:14:31,224 --> 00:14:33,504 Speaker 2: you've seen Parks and Rex, she's in Parks and Rex. 312 00:14:33,704 --> 00:14:37,664 Speaker 1: So there's eight episodes, they're all out now on Disney Plus. Again, 313 00:14:37,744 --> 00:14:40,344 Speaker 1: there's some really funny moments and then there's some really 314 00:14:40,664 --> 00:14:43,024 Speaker 1: serious dramatic moments. So it's a good mix between the two. 315 00:14:43,064 --> 00:14:45,064 Speaker 1: And it is the kind of show that like you 316 00:14:45,104 --> 00:14:47,264 Speaker 1: could just watch one weekly and like really take it in, 317 00:14:47,344 --> 00:14:48,584 Speaker 1: or you could sit down and just watch them all. 318 00:14:48,584 --> 00:14:50,264 Speaker 1: We want to go on a Sunday, so Dying for 319 00:14:50,344 --> 00:14:51,504 Speaker 1: Sex on Disney Plus. 320 00:14:51,784 --> 00:14:53,384 Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm really looking forward to.
