Speaker 1: From Mamma Mia.
Speaker 2: Welcome to this spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm
Speaker 2: Laura Brodnick and I'm Tina Burke, and welcome to a
Speaker 2: very special round up episode of the Spill. Don't Act
Speaker 2: all coy.
Speaker 1: Tina's been desperate to be in one of our round
Speaker 1: up episodes.
Speaker 2: Em and I usually do them on a Friday, yes,
Speaker 2: and famously you're not here on a Friday. Famously, I
Speaker 2: am the Monday Tuesday gal and sometimes the news cycle
Speaker 2: just too excited. It's too much of the time, and
Speaker 2: I am not a round up girly. And I love
Speaker 2: the round of episodes. There so much fun.
Speaker 1: I'm peo.
Speaker 2: People do love them. That's what numbers tell us, and
Speaker 2: I love to be beloved. So that's like figures crossed. Yes,
Speaker 2: So we thought as a special treat to get us through,
Speaker 2: I was only gonna say hump day, but I hate
Speaker 2: that's such a discussion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's never say that. Why did you do that? Sorry?
Speaker 2: To get us through midweek, we decided to give you
Speaker 2: guys a little extra treat of a roundup, and today's
Speaker 2: roundup is the underrated rom coms that you've probably never
Speaker 2: seen that we desperately love a great description. A great description.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how I'll make that into a podcast title,
Speaker 2: but here we go. Because you and I love rom coms, Yes,
Speaker 2: and we have since we were tiny, tiny children, and
Speaker 2: they probably warped our minds a little bit, but that's
Speaker 2: totally fine.
Speaker 1: And it's very rare.
Speaker 2: That someone says to me, have you seen this rom com?
Speaker 2: And I haven't seen it?
Speaker 1: True, very true, We've seen them all.
Speaker 2: And so we're gonna recommend movies now that are probably
Speaker 2: in the depths of some streaming service you don't even
Speaker 2: know you still subscribe to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that we think you should watch.
Speaker 2: And I've been put under strict orders that I cannot
Speaker 2: mention while you were sleeping sales pullman or set it up.
Speaker 2: And I respect those orders, yes, those.
Speaker 1: Rules that come from me.
Speaker 2: But just to explain, because you know what, nothing gets
Speaker 2: you in the mood for a whimsical romantic comedy round
Speaker 2: up like some hard and fast rules.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's Verry Monica Galler of you.
Speaker 2: Yes, so, yes, we're not doing movies that we have
Speaker 2: talked about on previous roundups. And because I've done so
Speaker 2: many romantic comedy round ups, now we can link a
Speaker 2: few in our show notes.
Speaker 1: We've done so many I had to tie.
Speaker 2: No, this is your first one. This is your first one.
Speaker 2: That's why I said, you pick for movies. I don't
Speaker 2: know what you've picked. You can go to town. I've
Speaker 2: been doing this podcast for seven years, so I'm really
Speaker 2: I'm really having to think outside.
Speaker 1: The box here for my rom comms.
Speaker 2: But I have found three rom coms that I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure I've never talked about before. So you know, and
Speaker 2: what were your rules? So we have to have seen
Speaker 2: it a lot, and we just have to hope that
Speaker 2: the viewers.
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't part of the rule. You've invented that.
Speaker 2: I thought you said that to me. Well, I took
Speaker 2: it on board, and these are movies I love.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do have to be movies we've seen.
Speaker 2: But I didn't make that a rule because I did
Speaker 2: think that was just self explanatory.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I didn't want someone to see the title and be
Speaker 2: excited about a rom com round up and click on
Speaker 2: to hear me talking about the same three movies I
Speaker 2: told you before.
Speaker 1: Anyway, here we go. Okay, because it's your special.
Speaker 2: Day, so scared the special day, you may go First,
Speaker 2: what is your first underrated rom com that people have
Speaker 2: to watch? My first rom com is Plus One? Oh
Speaker 2: my god, I actually don't think I've ever seen that. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's so rare that someone stumps me. If Emily he
Speaker 2: was he she would have said Durassic Park two or
Speaker 2: something weird like.
Speaker 1: She would have been right and we would have a fight. Okay.
Speaker 2: Plus One it came out in twenty nineteen. It stars
Speaker 2: Maya Erskine from Pen fifteen. Yes, or people might have
Speaker 2: seen her in like Mister and Missus Smith. She starts
Speaker 2: opposite someone who I think is just like the ultimate
Speaker 2: rom com royalty NEPO Baby Jack Quaid. Oh we love
Speaker 2: Jack Kwai, son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. So
Speaker 2: he has rom com built into his bones. But elsewhere
Speaker 2: he's been like on The Boys, he was, you know,
Speaker 2: killing ruin the Hunger Games, but this was.
Speaker 1: He's really sorry about that. He's so sorry.
Speaker 2: He has to apologize every fan convention. I think how
Speaker 2: The Boys has done that. He needs to go do
Speaker 2: like a He needs to be paired with some other
Speaker 2: fabulous actress with incredible on screen presence, and they need
Speaker 2: to do a big screen rom com together yes, it's
Speaker 2: my dream for him. I think so because he is
Speaker 2: very good in a rom com. It turns out because
Speaker 2: he has the chops. So this was more I would
Speaker 2: say it has all the temppoles of like a classic
Speaker 2: rom com when it comes to like the story, but
Speaker 2: it feels more indie. It feels just more like grassroots.
Speaker 2: I'll say, Okay, so the so what I mean by
Speaker 2: it being like a classic rom com setup is you're
Speaker 2: gonna die. So Alison Ben are friends from college, and
Speaker 2: the movie picks up where they're at a point in
Speaker 2: their lives where they're going to a lot of weddings,
Speaker 2: like it's wedding season in their friendship circle. She has
Speaker 2: recently broken up with her long term partner. He's just
Speaker 2: like constantly single and like pining for love and looking
Speaker 2: for love, and that's his whole deal. He's like, when
Speaker 2: will a girl choose me?
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm waders like playing me in a movie.
Speaker 3: But I.
Speaker 2: And So they've got so many weddings to attend coming up,
Speaker 2: and classic rom com She's like, what if we just
Speaker 2: go together and we'll go with each other to all
Speaker 2: of these weddings.
Speaker 1: I'll help you hook up with all the hot girls.
Speaker 1: You see, you'll.
Speaker 2: Just kind of be my pal around because I'm trying
Speaker 2: to head over my breakup and I'm so okay. They're
Speaker 2: not pretending to date, not pretending today, they're just going
Speaker 2: with each A lot of movies that have done that,
Speaker 2: a lot of movies with fake dating, not this one.
Speaker 1: This is more just like I need a companion.
Speaker 2: I don't want to face all these weddings alone, because
Speaker 2: they're both for their own reasons, not wanting to do that.
Speaker 2: We follow them through the weddings, and, as you can predict,
Speaker 2: because it's a rom com, at some point and chip
Speaker 2: turns to more. Oh but wait, do they go to
Speaker 2: a destination wedding and they have to share a bed
Speaker 2: or something like that. There's a bit of bed shair,
Speaker 2: but I will say that the bed sharing is very funny. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And it's like, I think this is just a deeply funny,
Speaker 2: well written rom com. So she could easily have become
Speaker 2: one of those kind of annoying quirky girls because she
Speaker 2: is very like. First of all, her outfits the best
Speaker 2: wrong Commo outfits you'll ever see, really such a high
Speaker 2: call verse. It's probably I'm probably wrong. I'm probably not,
Speaker 2: but I don't know. Don't back down now. But I
Speaker 2: remember when I watched it, I was like, great overalls,
Speaker 2: great wedding guest dresses.
Speaker 1: She's one of those.
Speaker 2: Wrong coom leading ladies, the wrong thing overalls. Does she
Speaker 2: fall down a lot? No, it's more like she just
Speaker 2: has no like everything that comes out of her mouth,
Speaker 2: You're like, why would you say that? And also I
Speaker 2: want to be your friend. Okay, it's more that kind
Speaker 2: of roy from people you meet on vacation. No, no, okay,
Speaker 2: it's not annoying. Poppy was annoying. And I like that
Speaker 2: movie a lot, but Poppy was irritating. So obviously, yeah,
Speaker 2: they go to a lot of weddings and there's just
Speaker 2: really incredible chemistry. And I think one of these superior
Speaker 2: like third act fight scenes that I've seen in a
Speaker 2: modern rom com, like you know, like how to Lose
Speaker 2: a Guy in ten Days, that fight scene when she's
Speaker 2: in the dress outside and she's like, you.
Speaker 1: Can't lose something you never had, like a clutter top tier.
Speaker 1: I think this.
Speaker 2: I searched this fight scene on TikTok when I need
Speaker 2: a little like rom com possessed really, yes, because sometimes
Speaker 2: I do that and I know that's really weird, but
Speaker 2: sometimes I search that scene and every time I do,
Speaker 2: all the comments are like, wow, this is this looks
Speaker 2: like a great movie, and I'm like, and it is.
Speaker 2: Please go and watch it. It's so incredible. All wait,
Speaker 2: I just need to go back to that last for
Speaker 2: a second. When's the last time you did this two
Speaker 2: weeks ago?
Speaker 1: Did it? Okay? Does something happen that at work that
Speaker 1: day that I should know about?
Speaker 3: Is?
Speaker 1: I hate to say on the pod that in this
Speaker 1: Sorry guys, we're just.
Speaker 2: Having a quick hr meaning if you guys want to
Speaker 2: just talk amongst yourself for five minutes.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: So, in case you couldn't tell, I'm very single and
Speaker 1: I love to.
Speaker 2: Read like I don't imagine why I sit at home
Speaker 2: googling fight scenes in rom com of Getting out There.
Speaker 2: This is one of two. So it's this and it
Speaker 2: is the monologue from Gray's Anatomy when Lexi tells Mark
Speaker 2: I love you right before they go on the plane.
Speaker 2: Those two that is just so weirdly specific. Google those
Speaker 2: two and sometimes they're not on TikTok. So I do
Speaker 2: have to go on YouTube and like search for a
Speaker 2: while because sometimes people play like a sad TikTok's song
Speaker 2: in the background, and I don't want to listen to
Speaker 2: that song. I want the real, authentic scene. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying you should do this, but if you're using is
Speaker 2: this much of a crutch, why don't you download them
Speaker 2: and have them on your phone your video folder. Well
Speaker 2: I've thought about that, but when I went to do
Speaker 2: plus one the other day, I had to buy it,
Speaker 2: and I didn't want to buy it.
Speaker 1: Okay, because I want the DVD. I want to, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend any money.
Speaker 2: On this, you know, I will if I can find
Speaker 2: the DVD. I'm trying to build my physical media collection. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: something else to discuss. But I think it's good to
Speaker 2: look at sad rom com scenes when you're just like
Speaker 2: feeling a bit like, oh, I'm too happy.
Speaker 1: You know. No, I've never felt that, not once.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to take it once. I've never once
Speaker 2: thought I'm too happy. Sometimes I've never once googled such
Speaker 2: a thing. But don't you ever like read like smart
Speaker 2: or something, or like a romance book or whatever you
Speaker 2: want to call it, and like you suddenly believe in
Speaker 2: love and the world's great and you're like, that's not real.
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to knock it down the stuff
Speaker 2: and remember reality. I think it's not real all the time.
Speaker 2: That's a separate issue. Lots to talk about in therapy.
Speaker 2: Should we ever go?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I really like my weekly psychic come
Speaker 1: out that's going off. I can't stress so much.
Speaker 2: One that's not therapy, okay, plus one plus one and
Speaker 2: just on streaming services, right, yes, so bounces around the
Speaker 2: streaming services because it wasn't a streaming service original. So
Speaker 2: at the moment, it's on Prime Video Okay in Australia obviously, globally,
Speaker 2: I don't know where.
Speaker 1: Okay, great shout out to our listeners the world.
Speaker 3: One.
Speaker 1: You guys don't have to work that one out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you give it a Google and you
Speaker 2: say where to watch, Google will always tell you.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for explaining the rules of Google. To
Speaker 1: move on from that. Okay, So we've talked about my
Speaker 1: first one. I'm very excited. What is your first underrated
Speaker 1: rom com? Okay?
Speaker 2: I watched this movie so much as a kid in
Speaker 2: the like last year or so. I wanted to rewatch it,
Speaker 2: but I did have a thought to myself. Maybe this
Speaker 2: wasn't a real movie, maybe because I had a really
Speaker 2: intense imagination as a kid. I still do, like I
Speaker 2: having an got one foot in this world and like
Speaker 2: one foot in a completely different realm.
Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, like, is that a real movie?
Speaker 1: Or did I imagine it?
Speaker 2: Like, surely no one actually made this movie and started it,
Speaker 2: but they did, and you've probably seen it because I
Speaker 2: feel like we had similar vibes growing up. Simply irresistible
Speaker 2: starring Sarah Michelle Geller.
Speaker 1: It's ringing bells. What happens? Oh my god? Maybe through
Speaker 1: maybe you've blinked.
Speaker 2: It out, maybe because this movie it's I know the title.
Speaker 2: It was very poorly reviewed and with good I still
Speaker 2: love it. I loved it then, I love it now.
Speaker 2: So you're a Buffy fan when you oh yeaheah shit already,
Speaker 2: So it was just like you were gonna love it
Speaker 2: anyway because of Sarah Michelle Geller. Yes, so Sarah Michelle
Speaker 2: Geller plays the lead. It's kind of a bit of
Speaker 2: a shitty story because the main ah, yes, hit me little,
Speaker 2: I mean, you got it. I didn't know this as
Speaker 2: a kid. Otherwise I didn't know about Hollywood sexism. But
Speaker 2: oh yeah, who would as like a ten year old
Speaker 2: a child?
Speaker 1: But now I know.
Speaker 2: So the movie was originally meant to be about a
Speaker 2: middle aged woman.
Speaker 1: So back then she's probably thirty.
Speaker 2: And she had never experienced love, but she found love
Speaker 2: through cooking. And they offered the role to Holly Hunter
Speaker 2: and she couldn't do it. Then they offered it to
Speaker 2: Sarah Disica Parker, but then they said she's too old,
Speaker 2: even though she also.
Speaker 1: Would have been in her thirties.
Speaker 2: And then I'm sure some executives said, hey, instead of
Speaker 2: this being like a woman in her forties, like experiencing
Speaker 2: love for the first time, how about we just make
Speaker 2: her young and hot, And so they gave the role
Speaker 2: to Sarah Michelle Geller. Okay, that's like Sarah Michelle Geller's fault. No,
Speaker 2: that's not her fault. So it happens. So Sarah Michelle
Speaker 2: Geller is a young woman living in New York. Her
Speaker 2: name's Amanda Shelton. Now, Amanda was very close to her
Speaker 2: mother growing up. This bit feels like you've got mail.
Speaker 2: Her mother ran a restaurant. They were in the restaurant
Speaker 2: together every day. Her mother sadly passed away, and now
Speaker 2: Amanda is trying to keep her mother's little restaurant, beautiful
Speaker 2: boutique restaurant going. The only issue with that is Amanda,
Speaker 2: pretty and sweet as she is, can't cook, kind of
Speaker 2: like heat a saucepinner, can't do anything called queen. Yeah,
Speaker 2: absolutely can't cook. And like the staff that was still
Speaker 2: there with her mother was still working there, but you know,
Speaker 2: they can't afford to keep their restaurant open. And so
Speaker 2: one day Samashad Gella goes to the ull A Sermisha Gella,
Speaker 2: herna's Amanda. Amanda goes to the little food market and
Speaker 2: this strange man who kind of looks a little bit
Speaker 2: like a leprecorn.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think I remember this movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah you do, Yeah, you do, because you know what
Speaker 2: I'm about to say that. His name's gene O'Reilly and
Speaker 2: he sells Amanda some crabs, live crabs to cook. When
Speaker 2: she gets back to the restaurant, and he's like, I
Speaker 2: knew your mother, and she's like, okay. Weird man gets
Speaker 2: back to the restaurant, she cooks the crabs.
Speaker 1: This is a horror movie. And some of the.
Speaker 2: Places, one of the crabs escapes and he's a magic crab,
Speaker 2: and he gives her the power to become an excellent chef,
Speaker 2: but she starts cooking her feelings into the food she's making. Now,
Speaker 2: I kept looking for a synopsis for this movie to
Speaker 2: it kind of explained it because I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I was a kid when I watched this, Like maybe
Speaker 2: I missed it. No, No, every synopsis I found says,
Speaker 2: for unclear reasons, Amanda begins cooking her feelings into her food,
Speaker 2: and she becomes an impressive creative chef. At the same
Speaker 2: time as the food is taking off, this guy called
Speaker 2: Tom Bartlett, who is like the manager of this big
Speaker 2: department store, comes in with his very intense girlfriend played
Speaker 2: by Amanda Pete, who's really a great miss. Yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: the crabs rang the little crab, he's such a it's
Speaker 2: like a puppet the crab.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not. It's not a real crab that they
Speaker 1: just put magic on.
Speaker 2: He like, and he shuffles and he goes missing in
Speaker 2: the kitchen and somehow he's making magic hauppet. It's got
Speaker 2: like a reverse Rattatui where he's like he's helping someone
Speaker 2: become ash.
Speaker 1: Actually know, I think about it what coming on?
Speaker 2: They would have come out after this, Yeah, in the
Speaker 2: two thousands. Yeah, okay, well let's look at that pleasurism.
Speaker 2: But Amanda is unaware of the crab. The crabs like
Speaker 2: in the background. Yeah, okay, say. Tom Bartlett is played
Speaker 2: by Sean Patrick Flannery. So Tom and Chris they kind
Speaker 2: it's a magical thing. They're kind of walking by the restaurant.
Speaker 2: They're like, why don't we go here? And she's like, oh,
Speaker 2: to this little creepy restaurant in the corner, I guess.
Speaker 2: So so they go in, and obviously Amanda not.
Speaker 1: Obviously, I guess. It's really weird.
Speaker 2: It kind of falls in love with Tom because she
Speaker 2: thinks he's hot, and she is kind of annoyed by
Speaker 2: his girlfriend Chris because she's really intense, and she goes
Speaker 2: into the kitchen to cook them lunch and accidentally cooks
Speaker 2: her feelings into their food. So Amanda goes crazy and
Speaker 2: smashes all the plates because she's so angry at Tom
Speaker 2: because obviously it's like she wants them to break up
Speaker 2: so consciously, and she leaves, and Tom like kind of
Speaker 2: starts falling in.
Speaker 1: Love with Amanda.
Speaker 2: There's also a b plot with Patricia Clarkson, Yeah, who
Speaker 2: plays like one of the other department store managers or
Speaker 2: like an assistant manager, and she kind of figures out
Speaker 2: what's happening, so she like steals Amanda's like these are
Speaker 2: clayres that she makes to make her boss worm in
Speaker 2: love with her. It's all very intense. So then Tom
Speaker 2: is also opening a restaurant in the Shopping Santate because
Speaker 2: that's his dream. Remember in the nineties that was a
Speaker 2: thing like every yeah, like Shopping Santa would have like
Speaker 2: a really restaurant.
Speaker 1: In it, like the Davags. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So when Amanda goes to the store because like obviously,
Speaker 2: Tom's like, I'm so sorry my girlfriend smashed all of
Speaker 2: your plates. Why don't you come to the store and
Speaker 2: I'll buy you new plates? So she does, and then
Speaker 2: he was like, why don't you cook for a restaurant
Speaker 2: because he's like still in love with her from the food.
Speaker 2: So wait, they start to fall in love over a
Speaker 2: period of time, and twice they float in the air together.
Speaker 1: That's important.
Speaker 2: The way you've described it makes me think, like you
Speaker 2: I have seen this and was a child, or maybe
Speaker 2: you've had a fever dream and like like it's ringing bells,
Speaker 2: but in a way where I'm like, I need to
Speaker 2: watch this because what the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you it's actually a beautiful rom com.
Speaker 2: You just have to suspend all disbelief because it's like,
Speaker 2: obviously a lot of movies have magic in it, but
Speaker 2: this magic is not explained, and it's also just never
Speaker 2: really kind of takes off. They take off, as I said,
Speaker 2: they float together twice because he comes into the kitchen
Speaker 2: and they're cooking together and they it's again they're all
Speaker 2: cooking sexy and their sexy music the crabs there in
Speaker 2: the background, and like smokes comes and they start floating. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then he gets freaked out because he's like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, you're a witch, which not untrue.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then later on that night.
Speaker 2: She has to cook for everyone at the big restaurant opening,
Speaker 2: and she gets so upset that she starts crying, and
Speaker 2: so when she serves the food to one hundred guests,
Speaker 2: they all start sobbing. And later on when she's feeling it, karma,
Speaker 2: they like eat the main course and they get karma,
Speaker 2: and then when they have the dessert, she's like thinking
Speaker 2: about how in love she is with Tom, so they
Speaker 2: all get a bit sexy, and then everyone starts falling
Speaker 2: in love with each other. And then she's leaving and
Speaker 2: Tom sees a spoiler a lot, but there's a scene
Speaker 2: he chases her and then he sends her a paper
Speaker 2: plane because he loves paper planes. Yeah, to like, And
Speaker 2: she goes and picks a dress up off the floor
Speaker 2: because they're int a shopping center, and then they get
Speaker 2: to float again.
Speaker 1: So much is happening?
Speaker 2: Yeah, too much, I'd say, But I like a high
Speaker 2: concept rom com.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like they really did them for a
Speaker 1: while there. When did this come out? Nineteen ninety nine?
Speaker 2: Okay, I feel like late nineties, early two thousands. They
Speaker 2: were like, and what if this person had magic?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think the term is magical really, which is a
Speaker 2: completely real world where like overall magic doesn't exist, so
Speaker 2: like not like Harry Potter, but there's one magical.
Speaker 1: One weird thing that is like woven into the world. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 2: The reviews for this movie absolutely brutal. Everyone's like, Sarah
Speaker 2: Michelle Gella is a great actress, which she is. I'd
Speaker 2: actually say she's the greatest actress.
Speaker 1: Of all time. I wouldn't agree.
Speaker 2: I would say that that's fine, a great disagree obviously,
Speaker 2: because I'm a Buffy fan, I have to say that
Speaker 2: she's amazing. Yeah, she's really good in this shit commits.
Speaker 2: I actually do think all the reviews are very much
Speaker 2: like because I was like, maybe this movie like people
Speaker 2: loved it when it came out. Nope, Nope, I hated it, okay,
Speaker 2: because they were like, this is a ridiculous movie. It
Speaker 2: makes no sense and it feels weird all the way through.
Speaker 2: In saying that simply irresistible. I watched it on Prime
Speaker 2: Video the last time I rewatched it, which was this year,
Speaker 2: highly recommend. I love that a whimsical time. Also, you
Speaker 2: have sometimes it's fun to watch people like eat lovely
Speaker 2: food in a movie, like it's cozy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. That's why I watch it own reservations
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 2: This is like food kissing, food kissing and a spell
Speaker 2: and a magical crab. And I think at the end,
Speaker 2: like they're kissing any scuts pop for this this little
Speaker 2: crab book.
Speaker 1: What a time? Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2: So my second rom com, which you may not have seen,
Speaker 2: is Man Up, which was released in twenty fifteen and
Speaker 2: It stars Lake Bell and Simon Peg. What how have
Speaker 2: I not seen that? I mean, I do like Simon Peg,
Speaker 2: but I love Lake Bell. I find it's so funny.
Speaker 2: I find her funny in movies and very much in
Speaker 2: real life.
Speaker 1: I really enjoy her, and in this she's British. Isn't
Speaker 1: that fun? Oh twist?
Speaker 2: So this movie also does star Sharon Horgan and Phoebe
Speaker 2: waller Bridge in supporting roles, so it's got a really
Speaker 2: good cast and it's I don't always like this genre,
Speaker 2: but I feel like the.
Speaker 1: British do it really well.
Speaker 2: Which is a rom com essentially set over the course
Speaker 2: of one day slash night.
Speaker 1: Oh so like one weekend, no one day.
Speaker 2: So I also tossed up recommending Rylane, which I also
Speaker 2: just mentioned last week on the pod, which stars the
Speaker 2: New Black Panther David Johnson.
Speaker 1: That's all similarly British, really cool, really.
Speaker 2: Funny, basically said over one day. But man up is
Speaker 2: she shouted to my sister. She told me I would
Speaker 2: love it. She was right, and I don't think anyone
Speaker 2: else is watching this but me. So in a classic
Speaker 2: rom com formula, she's a thirty four year old journalist
Speaker 2: who has been dating unsuccessfully for the past four years.
Speaker 1: But who a bit of me.
Speaker 2: It's really weird how we were grew up watching all
Speaker 2: these movies about journal lessons and that's why most of
Speaker 2: us got into this industry. And then the harsh reality
Speaker 2: is most of them is like, look, they're so sad
Speaker 2: and overwork. Yeahs, and that's not true. She's so tired
Speaker 2: and alone, understand.
Speaker 1: So she is trying to get that therapy number.
Speaker 2: You a therapist, contact us at the Stele, which I
Speaker 2: do a live therapy episode of Tina and I. But
Speaker 2: all of our problems we present them to you through
Speaker 2: the realm of movies, through the rum.
Speaker 1: Of pop culture. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: So she is on her way to her parents' fortieth
Speaker 2: wedding anniversary party, So the vibe is essentially she's been single,
Speaker 2: her family's a bit on her case.
Speaker 1: She's going to a party where her whole.
Speaker 2: Family is like in love and happy and like celebrating
Speaker 2: their parents long lasting love. So she's already a bit
Speaker 2: like yeah, whatevs.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: She gets on the train to head towards London, and
Speaker 2: sitting opposite her is the most annoying young woman ever
Speaker 2: and her name is Jessica, and Jessica is on her
Speaker 2: way to a blind date. And as you can imagine,
Speaker 2: for someone a bit cynical, a woman in her young
Speaker 2: twenties who's really optimistic and annoying, and you have to
Speaker 2: sit opposite her on a train for a.
Speaker 1: Really long time, I would hate it. Worst night man.
Speaker 1: No one's happy.
Speaker 2: So Jessica is not aware who she's meeting. Obviously it's
Speaker 2: blind date. So she's got a self help book called
Speaker 2: six Billion People and You, and so they kind of
Speaker 2: have like an argument about this self help worow and.
Speaker 1: She's like a real book, right, Yeah, it's probably not
Speaker 1: a real book, but it sounds but it feels like
Speaker 1: the vibe.
Speaker 2: So it's very much like a book about you being
Speaker 2: like empowering yourself and YadA YadA. And as you can
Speaker 2: imagine lake Bell's character very much just a lake Bell vibe,
Speaker 2: is like, this is stupid and I hate it. She
Speaker 2: falls asleep, she wakes up, the woman has left the
Speaker 2: book behind with a note for her, essentially being like, Queen,
Speaker 2: you need this. That's so passive, aggressive, so so annoying.
Speaker 2: So she leaves the book behind. So then Nancy like
Speaker 2: chases after her to be like, hey, you left your
Speaker 2: book behind.
Speaker 1: I don't want this.
Speaker 2: How dare you insinuate that I need this book? But
Speaker 2: finds herself standing in the spot that this girl was
Speaker 2: meant to be holding the book to find her blind date.
Speaker 2: And then a man appears and his name is Jack
Speaker 2: played by Simon Pegg, and he thinks that she's the
Speaker 2: Jessica girl that he was supposed.
Speaker 1: To be meeting. So what Jessica stood this guy up.
Speaker 2: Jessica's gone to get another book to replace it because
Speaker 2: she just felt like this Steva.
Speaker 1: Needed the book so bad.
Speaker 2: So Jessica's like, I'll get a second book, come back
Speaker 2: and meet my blind day and we'll catch up and
Speaker 2: we'll connect. But in the meantime, Nancy and Jack meet
Speaker 2: and for whatever inexplicable reason, Nancy decides she's just going
Speaker 2: to play along and she's like, yep, that's me. You're
Speaker 2: blind date, so excited to hang out with you all day,
Speaker 2: And then they spend the day sort of getting to
Speaker 2: know it. Jessica, I can't reveal, okay, but I said,
Speaker 2: but we don't forget about her because no from Jessica
Speaker 2: from Jessica Horror Movie. This is horror, creepy and weird. Yeah,
Speaker 2: woman's stolen your date. Yeah, and now you're alone being
Speaker 2: stood up. It's very upsetting. But they kind of spend
Speaker 2: the day hanging out. They're going for drinks, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like one of those things where oh, we're on
Speaker 2: a walk, we're having funch, should we get another drink?
Speaker 1: Should we do this?
Speaker 2: And they start to like obviously reveal things about themselves
Speaker 2: and here character like is annoying. Let's be upsrunt about it.
Speaker 2: You are, I see why you're single. Like the whole
Speaker 2: time you're watching, you're like, I get it. But it's
Speaker 2: very much about like their little insecurities and their things
Speaker 2: they're working on, and they like open up to each other.
Speaker 2: And as you can imagine, at some point in time,
Speaker 2: the fact that she's pretending to be another woman is
Speaker 2: going to cause some complications. But it's very funny. It's
Speaker 2: very witty and sharp, and I just think it is
Speaker 2: a perfect British rom com moment if you want something
Speaker 2: that just is like light and fresh and crispy. There's
Speaker 2: nothing too serious, but.
Speaker 1: It is fun. Well unless you Jessica.
Speaker 2: Unless you're Jessica, and then it's like and then it's
Speaker 2: very upsetting, very serious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then it's garbage.
Speaker 2: But so that was quite an uncomplicated recommendation from me,
Speaker 2: unlike simply irresistible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a whole situation.
Speaker 2: I can't say anymore obviously because I don't want to
Speaker 2: spoil it for people. But it's really really fun and
Speaker 2: lake Belle should be in more leading roles and stop
Speaker 2: playing the friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah she's all it's her.
Speaker 2: For a time, there was her and Judy Grier playing
Speaker 2: the quirky best friend.
Speaker 1: In every rom com they're always besties ladies.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so people can watch that on Prime Love. Okay,
Speaker 2: Now I didn't mean to do this, is how I
Speaker 2: should preface this. Next recommendation is, I didn't mean to
Speaker 2: pick two rom coms with a magical supernatural element to them,
Speaker 2: but that's what I did, because again I've talked about
Speaker 2: rom coms so many times in this podcast, I had
Speaker 2: to bring the people new recommendations. I rewatched this on
Speaker 2: the weekend because not even thinking I would do it
Speaker 2: for this, just for shits and gi Yeah, not even
Speaker 2: thinking that I would.
Speaker 1: Do it for this podcast.
Speaker 2: Is that if whenever I'm home on Sunday, Ashton and
Speaker 2: I try and watch a classic movie I haven't watched before,
Speaker 2: or a classic movie only kind of half watched She's
Speaker 2: a Kid and I missed the gist of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just to make sure that my movie brain stays shup.
Speaker 1: You know, you're so classy, like I'm just like that before.
Speaker 3: No, you should. I tried.
Speaker 1: It's so fun.
Speaker 2: I get like a little snack to watch the movie
Speaker 2: with like the theme to the movie, and then I
Speaker 2: have one, obviously, and then I had my fresh flowers
Speaker 2: because I went to the market in the morning, and
Speaker 2: I l like all my candles, and then I put
Speaker 2: my phone in another room so I'm not like distracted,
Speaker 2: because I wouldn't have been when this movie came out.
Speaker 1: This movie came up before I was born.
Speaker 2: And I watched my movie like I'm in an old school,
Speaker 2: like you are a rom com leader, like I am
Speaker 2: a rom com leading late, but not the annoying ones
Speaker 2: that just watched Breakfast and Tifties over and over again.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, you know, like that's always like the favorite
Speaker 2: movie of like girls and rom comms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. It is a good movie there.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the movie is called Splash.
Speaker 1: Yes, have you seen it? I have seen Splash.
Speaker 2: It's such a good movie, but I feel like most
Speaker 2: people haven't seen it. But it might have had a
Speaker 2: bit of a resurgence this year because it stars Daryl Hannah.
Speaker 2: And obviously Daryl Hannah came back into the zeitgeist this
Speaker 2: year because of the lovely Drey Hemingway playing her in
Speaker 2: Love Story, but obviously a lot of people didn't like
Speaker 2: her portrayal in the series, and then Daryl Hannah herself
Speaker 2: wrote a big op ed about how she was portrayed
Speaker 2: and that it was made up and she didn't want
Speaker 2: people to see her this way, which I think led
Speaker 2: a lot of people to go back and look at
Speaker 2: some of Daryl Hannah's most classic movies, one of them
Speaker 2: being Splash. So this movie came out before you were born,
Speaker 2: but even before I was born.
Speaker 1: Wow, so it's really old. Yeah so old. Well, I
Speaker 1: just don't like people say, oh, I wasn't born.
Speaker 2: That movie came out. I was like, that's not the
Speaker 2: criteria for a good movie. Famously, you can watch movies.
Speaker 1: You can watch old movies before you were born.
Speaker 2: And this is what stresses me out when I talk
Speaker 2: about older movies like some age no, no, like people
Speaker 2: assume that you only watch movies when they come out
Speaker 2: at cinema. So like once I was and I was
Speaker 2: at a dinner once and this. I don't want to
Speaker 2: call her a bimbo. That's that's a redactive theme word.
Speaker 2: A lady without a lot of thoughts in her head.
Speaker 2: I was talking about Gold with the Wind and what
Speaker 2: like something, because it like like an and essay had
Speaker 2: come out about it because it is very problematic. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, but when the movie came out,
Speaker 2: it was this, this and there She goes, oh, well
Speaker 2: the theaters really.
Speaker 1: Packed when you went to see it. No, because I'm
Speaker 1: not seventy years old.
Speaker 3: What do you mean? What I know?
Speaker 2: You didn't describe her too harshly? Okay, I don't say
Speaker 2: she doesn't listen to this spell. I'm sure because she
Speaker 2: would know more about the did you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think everyone pretty much that's like me.
Speaker 2: Then talking about that's like me, then talking about breakfast Tiffany's,
Speaker 2: and someone saying to me, did you go to Opening Weekend? No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wasn't born yet anyway. Yes.
Speaker 2: So Splash came out in nineteen eighty four from them,
Speaker 2: Let's move on. Watch movie is from Before You're Born
Speaker 2: as well. I'll say yes on that because a lot
Speaker 2: that's when some of the best movies.
Speaker 1: Ever yeah made.
Speaker 2: I mean, you won't see some of the best cinema
Speaker 2: of all time. Yeah, don't do that.
Speaker 1: Get it together.
Speaker 2: So Splash came out in nineteen eighty four and it's
Speaker 2: a romantic fantasy comedy film directed by Ron Howard, one
Speaker 2: of the most famous film directors of all time. As
Speaker 2: I said, it stars Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks, Yes,
Speaker 2: and their chemistry is excellent in it. Like Tom Hanks
Speaker 2: has obviously been in so many incredible rom coms, and
Speaker 2: he's always sort of like held up to me. It's
Speaker 2: like him and Meg Ryan. Obviously they're incredible together.
Speaker 1: But him and Dal Hannah.
Speaker 2: Pretty spicy and pretty spicy and romantic. A little bit
Speaker 2: of tension, yes, quite a bit attention in that one.
Speaker 2: So Tom Hanks plays a man called Alan, which I
Speaker 2: guess in that eighties might have been a sexy name.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's ever been a sexy name, not
Speaker 2: for no. Well, it's kind of a bit sexy this
Speaker 2: because it's to I lied, doctor Alan Grant.
Speaker 1: I take it back. Oh well, Jesus, yeah, you really
Speaker 1: took that back. I take it back. Surprised you're really
Speaker 1: wrong about one.
Speaker 2: So Tom Hanks plains Alan and as a kid, Alan
Speaker 2: was in Cape Cod and he saw something in the
Speaker 2: water and he jumped off the boat to see what
Speaker 2: it was, and he was under the water and then
Speaker 2: he saw this little girl something towards him, and when
Speaker 2: they touched hands, he could breathe underwater, and he's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is incredible.
Speaker 1: And then the people from the boat him.
Speaker 2: Back in and then like twenty years passes, so he's
Speaker 2: twenty eight now because he's eight years old.
Speaker 1: On that and everyone in an old school rom com
Speaker 1: he's always in their twenties. Yeah, and they're always like,
Speaker 1: when will I find the one?
Speaker 2: Why can't I settle down over Yeah, and it's like
Speaker 2: your twenty five, calm down. So twenty years pass and
Speaker 2: all this other stuff happens, and he ends up going
Speaker 2: back to the same spot and he gets in a
Speaker 2: boat and through a situation he gets knocked unconscious and
Speaker 2: falls into it. It's a lot for me to get into, yeah,
Speaker 2: but Eugene Levee is involved.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 2: A young Eugene Levey. Yeah, a little cutie. I love
Speaker 2: young Eugene.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like he's he's so young, but his eyebrows
Speaker 1: look the same.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they've always been a statement to say he
Speaker 1: was born with them that big.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So so a situation of events. He ends up unconscious
Speaker 2: back in the water, and then he wakes up on
Speaker 2: the beach and he's like, oh my god, how did
Speaker 2: I get there? This is where it is just a
Speaker 2: rip of the Little Mermaid, but we move past it
Speaker 2: and he things are other things, and that's yeah.
Speaker 1: This is an homage. This is this is a Little
Speaker 1: Mermaid for adults.
Speaker 2: Yes, And so he looks up and he's like looking
Speaker 2: around and then over this like little stand in June,
Speaker 2: he sees this face of a beautiful blonde woman and
Speaker 2: she walks out and she's naked, but it's like Dara
Speaker 2: Hannah's like hairs covering everything because it's still like a
Speaker 2: think PG. And he's trying to talk to her and
Speaker 2: she can't talk, and then she just runs into the
Speaker 2: water and swims away, and he was like, holy hell,
Speaker 2: what was that? And then when she gets into the water,
Speaker 2: we realize we the audience get to see that she's
Speaker 2: actually a mermaid.
Speaker 1: Plot twist.
Speaker 2: No one saw it coming, Yeah, unless you saw the
Speaker 2: film poster. Unless you saw the poster, but otherwise, well,
Speaker 2: you're me in my living room. My mum's in the background.
Speaker 1: Holy shit.
Speaker 2: Plot twist, a very believable mermaid tail. And then you
Speaker 2: get to see Daryl Hannah as the mermaids swim underwater
Speaker 2: for ages and that's incredible. Can I just say, yeah,
Speaker 2: if they could do this in nineteen eighty four and
Speaker 2: these special effects hold up, we don't need all this
Speaker 2: weird AI CGI slop that we had today because that
Speaker 2: was so effective.
Speaker 1: She looks like a real mermaid.
Speaker 2: She looks like a real and she's just holding her
Speaker 2: breath and a tail under water like the girls from.
Speaker 1: H two did. Yeah, and like probably Sarah in Aquamarine. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah. When Alan was in the water, he drops
Speaker 2: his wallet right when it has his idea in a
Speaker 2: dress on it. So she get this bits my vote.
Speaker 1: So she goes to this sunken ship and.
Speaker 2: She finds a map and she puts his idea.
Speaker 1: I never would have thought of it.
Speaker 2: She's so smart because she's a mermaid and she matches
Speaker 2: his ID to this map, and then she goes to
Speaker 2: New York to find him, and she gets legs that
Speaker 2: she does get legs, and then obviously she gets arrested
Speaker 2: for walking around naked, and then she's holding his wallet
Speaker 2: to the police call him. He comes, they fall in love.
Speaker 2: He doesn't know she's a mermaid. This is where a
Speaker 2: movie that could only be made in the eighties is
Speaker 2: that he just thinks this beautiful woman that he meant
Speaker 2: on a beach and then swum away in the water
Speaker 2: and has appeared naked in New York to find him,
Speaker 2: and he's like, absolutely, come and live in my apartment
Speaker 2: with me. I love you so much, let's be together. Yeah,
Speaker 2: liking Katan Leopold when Hugh Jackman's just hot enough that
Speaker 2: it's okay that he's insane.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, He's like, you're a beautiful woman, no questions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on in, lady.
Speaker 2: And so she obviously doesn't speak English. She learns over
Speaker 2: the course of the week she's with him because she
Speaker 2: watches movies. But this is interesting because he's like, what's
Speaker 2: your name?
Speaker 1: What's your name?
Speaker 2: And then because they're in the New York they're standing
Speaker 2: on Madison Avenue and so you see Madison Avenue on
Speaker 2: the sign, and so that's what her name is.
Speaker 1: She's Madison. Love that. So here's a fun See. She
Speaker 1: is smart, she thinks on a feet, she's smart. She's
Speaker 1: actually the smartest pert.
Speaker 2: She might be the smartest from complete rom commpleete don't
Speaker 2: ever do it rom commlely. Just girls just get themselves
Speaker 2: into ridiculous situations because they don't think. Yeah, Madison's ten
Speaker 2: steps ahead. Yeah, she's always plotting, scheming, whatever it's Most
Speaker 2: of it is one hundred percent by accident. But here's
Speaker 2: an interesting fact. Do you know anyone called Madison several? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and do you know why they're called Madison because of
Speaker 2: this movie?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: Well, let's just say, was that there a surge in
Speaker 2: there was a surge in Madison. So this movie came
Speaker 2: out in nineteen eighty four, nineteen a five, Madison appears
Speaker 2: like in the not in the top, but like in
Speaker 2: the top fifty twenty names in multiple countries, most in America,
Speaker 2: because you know, Australia's just a bit behind sometimes but illustrating.
Speaker 2: And then it just kept growing and growing and growing, growing,
Speaker 2: And I'm sure even if some people didn't even know
Speaker 2: they're calling their kid Madison because of that. That's how
Speaker 2: it became so popular. Such, but all the nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: five Madisons, they're definitely named after Madison the Mermaid. Okay,
Speaker 2: something to think about.
Speaker 1: Very important, You're right.
Speaker 2: Cultural is like, guys, so next time you meet a
Speaker 2: Madison and say, hey, did you know I know where
Speaker 2: your name came from? That mermaid? And they're like, no, no,
Speaker 2: Daryl Hana, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Well it did. It went up the name charts really quickly.
Speaker 1: I believe you. Yeah I didn't. So anyway, then there's
Speaker 1: a whole thing about obviously the government gets involved, the
Speaker 1: government's governments.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 2: I can't stand a good rom com the government getting
Speaker 2: involved because the government's like because Eugene Levy, the villain
Speaker 2: is like, that's a mermaid, let's trapper, and then the
Speaker 2: government come and content and he sposed it with water
Speaker 2: and then her tail appears, and it's so sad because
Speaker 2: she'd been hiding the tail from Tom Hanks. She takes
Speaker 2: a bath secretly at nine and he tries so open right,
Speaker 2: and she's trying to dry the hair dryer so that
Speaker 2: he when he comes in, he's like Madison opened the door.
Speaker 2: Barge is in the bathroom rude, but it's because she
Speaker 2: didn't want him to see the tail. Yeah, the government's
Speaker 2: always fu and the government keeps her in a tank.
Speaker 2: And then they find and they end up letting Tom
Speaker 2: Hanks go alan like he's just a man. We put
Speaker 2: him in water, like he's been.
Speaker 1: The tank.
Speaker 2: Because they just leave in his tank of water for
Speaker 2: like days, and then the one scientist doesn't want them going.
Speaker 2: The other one's like, he's been in that tank for
Speaker 2: like forty eight hours. I think he's just a man.
Speaker 2: Tom Hanks is like, ah, running, so they blindhold him
Speaker 2: and drop off the street. Then he has a team
Speaker 2: up with Eugene Levy to save Madison. Yeah, and then
Speaker 2: I won't spoil the ending, eve though I have spoiled
Speaker 2: you said a lot. No, it sounds like I've said
Speaker 2: a lot. Yes, so I haven't put in the showy
Speaker 2: house is sink time being. I'm like, oh, it's fun,
Speaker 2: have a good time, and you're like and all. So
Speaker 2: then the government, okay, but I have to explain levels
Speaker 2: of mythology and mystical creatures and origin origin of names. No,
Speaker 2: it sounds like I said a lot, but I haven't
Speaker 2: talked about any of the I haven't done the shopping
Speaker 2: scene or like the first kiss or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Like nothing so true.
Speaker 2: But it does end on a bit of cliffhanger because
Speaker 2: he can go with her to the ocean, but if
Speaker 2: he does, he can never come back to earth Land.
Speaker 1: So what does he do?
Speaker 2: Does he go back to his family and friends because
Speaker 2: he's really close with his brother played by John Candy iconic?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Does he go back to the real world or does
Speaker 2: he go and live underwater with a mermaid? I don't
Speaker 2: know watched by watching the film, So Splash an iconic
Speaker 2: rom com that I think everyone should watch. And if
Speaker 2: you're out there, named Madison, what a beautiful thing to
Speaker 2: be named after? That is nice Darryl Hannah's most iconic role.
Speaker 1: So I have.
Speaker 2: Decided, while listening to you, to completely change what I
Speaker 2: was about to regalize. I didn't see the stress we
Speaker 2: just had in this studio because Tina can only do
Speaker 2: one morecation and you've got about ten on that list,
Speaker 2: and the panic of trying to pick.
Speaker 1: We'll do another one of these.
Speaker 2: Listen, And I mean I have written about this a
Speaker 2: million times, Okay, but not this, not this recommendation.
Speaker 1: This is a deep cut. I have no idea what
Speaker 1: you're gonna say.
Speaker 2: By the way, so this, likewise is a movie that
Speaker 2: was like a childhood movie, and I've no one seems
Speaker 2: to have ever seen it, and you've only taken me
Speaker 2: there through mentions of the government and like other worldly shit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because that's what every good rom com needs, interference from
Speaker 2: the government. Yes, so this has taken a turn. And
Speaker 2: I had some more like run off the male rom
Speaker 2: coms to talk about, but I don't want talk about
Speaker 2: them anymore because I want to talk about this. Have you
Speaker 2: seen the two thousand and one action comedy film which
Speaker 2: is a wrong com.
Speaker 1: It's called Just Visiting? Wait?
Speaker 2: Have I who's in it? Christiana Applegay? Oh, and the
Speaker 2: French actor Jean Reno, No, I don't think i've seen it.
Speaker 1: And Malcolm McDowell, Tara Reid and Bridgewills.
Speaker 2: No, okay, all names I'm obsessed with, obviously, But I
Speaker 2: thought i'd seen every Christina Applegate rom com.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I nearly put the sweetest thing on this list. But
Speaker 2: but I say, when we do sexy rom coms, sexy
Speaker 2: rom coms with fun songs, that's that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so we can do it. I don't think actually,
Speaker 1: I just thought about five.
Speaker 2: There are so many we good, Okay, guys, the problem
Speaker 2: is we've watched too much movie. Yeah, Tina and amends.
Speaker 2: If a spiller can please write down what did I say?
Speaker 2: Sexy rom coms with a good song with fun song.
Speaker 2: You just send that to us and we'll put on
Speaker 2: the list of episodes to do. Yeah, okay, go okay.
Speaker 2: So just visiting and so quickly. Christina Applegate has start
Speaker 2: in two near identical films that involve time travel and
Speaker 2: princes and the city of New York.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. So the film starts in the
Speaker 1: twelfth century in England, and that is not what I
Speaker 1: thought you were going to say.
Speaker 2: And there's this guy and he's a count and he's
Speaker 2: about to marry a princess. Her name is Rosalind, and
Speaker 2: she's the daughter of King of the reigning King Henry.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's meant to be like that King Henry,
Speaker 2: but like you never know, sure.
Speaker 1: You don't.
Speaker 2: So at the wedding banquet, he has an enemy called
Speaker 2: the Earl of Warwick. And you're gonna be a bad guy.
Speaker 2: With that name, and so the earl gives Thibeau Thibol
Speaker 2: I kind of even honest.
Speaker 1: Remember, he gives him a potion.
Speaker 2: Yep, he makes him hallucinate, and the potion was meant
Speaker 2: to go to Rosalind by a witch. It's a whole
Speaker 2: thing's riches and all this time, can I just tell
Speaker 2: you nothing you're saying sounds weird to me. I know
Speaker 2: the genre of movie very well. Yeah, under the influence
Speaker 2: of the potion, he kills Rosalind brilliant.
Speaker 1: I didn't know where this was going to go, believing
Speaker 1: she is.
Speaker 2: A ferocious monster. And then while he's being sentenced to death,
Speaker 2: he asks his servant to find a wizard to help him.
Speaker 2: The wizard gives him a potion that sends him back
Speaker 2: to the moment.
Speaker 1: Before he killed her.
Speaker 2: The wizard botches the spell and instead sends them to
Speaker 2: the twenty first century. That's opening.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the opening.
Speaker 2: Christina Applegate does play Rosalind, but basically they wake up.
Speaker 1: It's twenty first century.
Speaker 2: They're in a museum in Chicago, and they are arrested
Speaker 2: by boys for causing a hubbub, and they are rescued
Speaker 2: by museum employee Julia, who looks the same as Roslin
Speaker 2: because she's also played by Christina apple Well. She thinks
Speaker 2: that this guy is her distant French cousin who drowned
Speaker 2: while yachting.
Speaker 1: Are you making this up?
Speaker 2: And then he finds out later that Julia is descended
Speaker 2: from his family, so he's like, I have to return
Speaker 2: to the past and correct my mistakes and all of this.
Speaker 2: So it's like two like medieval dudes running around the
Speaker 2: city with her, and she's does know who they are?
Speaker 2: Then no, so so it's one of them. She's like,
Speaker 2: just like, fine, take these crazy guys into a stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's why you've triggered me because I like Tom Hanks, mean,
Speaker 2: like I'll take this crazy naked lady into my home
Speaker 2: one hundred and this goes to show that as much
Speaker 2: as we as a society evolve, things always remain the same.
Speaker 2: And the one constant we all have in our lives
Speaker 2: is that hot people can get away with anything.
Speaker 1: People can do.
Speaker 2: Hold, people can literally be weird. They can break into homes,
Speaker 2: they can kill people. They can show up at different
Speaker 2: times in different clothes, they can be naked, they can
Speaker 2: have they could be medieval, they can have a tail
Speaker 2: does It doesn't matter. There's something beautiful about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I don't really think John Reno, the French chactor,
Speaker 2: is hot, but my mum did so maybe a little.
Speaker 1: I think I was.
Speaker 2: And basically like she, Christina Applegay, modern modern Christina Applegay
Speaker 2: has a terrible fiance and we hate him and he's
Speaker 2: weird and you'll recognize him because he's always snively in movies.
Speaker 2: Oh sure, that guy, you're the one.
Speaker 1: You'll know when you see better.
Speaker 2: She like works with them on like figuring out why
Speaker 2: they've like she thinks they've lost their memory and like
Speaker 2: they're like, no, no, we need to get back to
Speaker 2: Rosalind in the twelfth century. Sure, and obviously, like as
Speaker 2: you say, you know, magical realism. Slowly, like you start
Speaker 2: to believe what's going on. And so the romance is
Speaker 2: like him and Rosalind, but also like him helping her
Speaker 2: to fall in love and to see that like love
Speaker 2: is real.
Speaker 1: Oh so he doesn't fall in love with modern day Christina, No.
Speaker 2: Old old Appley, because then that's kind of his like
Speaker 2: his like distant daughter daughter grand great great great granddaughter
Speaker 2: in theory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, bit weird. So I am.
Speaker 2: This isn't so much a as I thought, but I
Speaker 2: do remember them kissing, so what Oh I think she
Speaker 2: develops a crush on him? Oh, of course, because why
Speaker 2: wouldn't you have the memory lost? Were guy staying in
Speaker 2: her apartment?
Speaker 1: Why we And then she gets oh no way, she
Speaker 1: gets a love.
Speaker 2: It she gets a love Okay, yeah, yeah, sure that's
Speaker 2: kind of a spoil But I do think it's important
Speaker 2: that people watch this. And the reason I bring this up.
Speaker 2: Christina Applegate also starts in another movie with Martin Short,
Speaker 2: where a same thing happens to her, where another prince
Speaker 2: gets sent to modern day times and meets Applegate and
Speaker 2: Bernadette Peters is in it. Oh love and he has
Speaker 2: there's like a frog, it's a whole thing. But so
Speaker 2: this happens to Applegate twice, like cinematic history.
Speaker 1: Well, the one thought, why we're doing it again? We're
Speaker 1: doing it again? Wow? Once, that's not her fault. Twice.
Speaker 2: You've gotta start looking at your actions. You gotta start
Speaker 2: thinking what am I doing? What have I done put
Speaker 2: myself in this situation? And they both came out in
Speaker 2: the same year. And that movie is cool.
Speaker 1: It's a year.
Speaker 2: At got red long hair in one and blonde curls
Speaker 2: and the other. So you're like, oh, two different people
Speaker 2: and that's the point of acting.
Speaker 1: One would say two different people?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: So am I rom com recommendation Duell Prince Charming and
Speaker 2: Just Visiting basically the same thing twice?
Speaker 1: Have fun? Do I want to watch Just Visiting?
Speaker 2: Though I don't think it is okay? Yeah, I thought
Speaker 2: it was just put that on the maybe list.
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued.
Speaker 2: Maybe I should just watch it because I do feel
Speaker 2: like I've watched every other Christina Applegate movies.
Speaker 1: We'll jump into this one. Yeah, okay, last one from
Speaker 1: me again.
Speaker 2: I was trying to feel I don't want to say
Speaker 2: this is the best from common the World, because famously
Speaker 2: it was quite bad.
Speaker 1: But I rewatched it on one of my many how at.
Speaker 2: The sut of the year, I just ended up going
Speaker 2: on work trips to weird locations overseas for a while,
Speaker 2: a lot of time on plane to kill. And I
Speaker 2: watched this movie on two different work trips, once to
Speaker 2: New York and once to South Korea.
Speaker 1: So I feel like it's really bad. There's limited movies
Speaker 1: on a plane.
Speaker 2: I don't find that ever, And I only ever like
Speaker 2: watching hormones on a plane, but when I'm eating I
Speaker 2: do watch a rom com. So it's so specific to
Speaker 2: unpack that with the therapy anyone found that therapist done before?
Speaker 2: And the more we talk, the more clear it is
Speaker 2: that we do need that therapist. Something cute about us
Speaker 2: doing joint therapy, right, Yeah, yeah, I probably share a
Speaker 2: few issues. Anyway, this movie is called Fool's Gold. Ah,
Speaker 2: didn't watch it, didn't care. Really, you've never seen this, No,
Speaker 2: So to sell sell me on it right now? Well,
Speaker 2: I think I just have to say two names to
Speaker 2: sell you on it. Two names will make you watcher
Speaker 2: that maybe you know them and it hasn't swayed you.
Speaker 1: No, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.
Speaker 2: They already did one banger and that's why they did this,
Speaker 2: and it's not their fault.
Speaker 1: It wasn't as good the second time.
Speaker 2: So Foolswell came out in two thousand and eight because obviously,
Speaker 2: how Los a Guy in Ten Days is one of
Speaker 2: the greatest rom comms ever ever ever made. I think
Speaker 2: we can all agree on that.
Speaker 1: Yes much.
Speaker 2: If I came to this podcast and I was like,
Speaker 2: have you guys heard about this movie came out twenty
Speaker 2: years ago. Maybe you've missed it. How Losing Guy in
Speaker 2: Ten Days? So how The Loser Guy in Ten Days
Speaker 2: came out. It's a massive success, and a huge reason
Speaker 2: it's such a success is the performances of Kate Hudson
Speaker 2: and Matthew McConaughey. Not only is their chemistry off the
Speaker 2: charts amazing, but just their performances because you just think
Speaker 2: about someone who was like less like Kate Hudson's such
Speaker 2: a good comedic actress and she's so charming. And again,
Speaker 2: Matthew McConaughey, even though he hates rom comms now, was
Speaker 2: very good at rom comms. Yeah, in the hands of
Speaker 2: lesser act those parts would have been crazy.
Speaker 1: Like it.
Speaker 2: Just imagine someone else crying on the floor and sobbing
Speaker 2: with a love turns, and no one else was delivering
Speaker 2: that line that I've already delivered on this podcast today,
Speaker 2: like you you can't lose something.
Speaker 1: That she never had.
Speaker 2: Exactly, she had the Hollywood chops to pull off crazy
Speaker 2: all that. Yeah, exactly, it's hard to be again because
Speaker 2: she's hot. She gets away with everything. Crazy scale hot, crazy,
Speaker 2: gotta keep to keep those two. You can't go too
Speaker 2: far crazy unless you're equally as hot. Yeah, and how
Speaker 2: I met your mother taught us that.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So after that movie came out, it's a critical success,
Speaker 2: it's a box office success, home release, massive success. Everyone's
Speaker 2: going out and buying the DVD and droves girl wearing
Speaker 2: that dress to formally, everyone's got that dress. Everyone starts
Speaker 2: and rolling in journalism courses at university to be Even
Speaker 2: though that was girl, even though the message of the
Speaker 2: movie was don't do this, journalism is dead and it's
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, it was like, you'll get a
Speaker 2: job and before strite something you don't want to write,
Speaker 2: can I just say sorry, I know this is the topic.
Speaker 2: But she's like, oh, I want to write about like
Speaker 2: world peas, And I'm like, you're probably being paid so
Speaker 2: much money as a twenty two year old to write
Speaker 2: a how to column, look alife, have something exactly?
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: Also, don't take a job and then complain that the
Speaker 2: job is not the one you wanted. When you're you're
Speaker 2: the one to tell you work your way up, Kate Hudson. Anyway, Sorry, Anyway,
Speaker 2: she probably should have gone and worked at a newspaper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any turn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so everyone wanted the How to Lose a Guy
Speaker 2: in Ten Days sequel, and apparently they did try to
Speaker 2: get off the ground. But it's almost like we have
Speaker 2: to break these two up and what they trick each
Speaker 2: other again, Like there's no way to do that.
Speaker 1: There's literally no way for me. Once, shame on you,
Speaker 1: exactly for me.
Speaker 2: She comes back in because now she's writing a book
Speaker 2: because she has to come back and trick him again.
Speaker 1: That's what it's called full school. So I mean, actually
Speaker 1: I would watch that movie.
Speaker 2: So instead they did the thing. And this is what
Speaker 2: has happened with a lot of iconic rom coon couples before.
Speaker 2: So obviously Richard Gear and Julia robertson Pretty Woman, huge success,
Speaker 2: can't make a pretty Woman too? What is she back
Speaker 2: on the streets? Has to go together again? No, you
Speaker 2: can't do that. No, stead it made Runaway Bride. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now she can't keep her husband. And again with Tom
Speaker 2: Hanks and Meg Ryan because Sleepless and Seattle is such
Speaker 2: a big kid, can't really make I mean, you could
Speaker 2: make a sequel to that, but I think it would
Speaker 2: be like why did I marry this weird guy? I
Speaker 2: met on top of the Empire State Building. So instead
Speaker 2: they mate You've Got Mail.
Speaker 1: One of my top top top top top movies in
Speaker 1: my opinion, better than Sleeps so much matter and that
Speaker 1: never happens. Yeah. Crazy. So basally I would say Runaway
Speaker 1: Bride better than Pretty Woman.
Speaker 2: I wonder if i'd say that, No, Pretty Woman's better again,
Speaker 2: really good fight monologue that I think the time well
Speaker 2: in Runaway Bride. Yeah, yeah, there's a good there's lots
Speaker 2: of good fights in Pretty Women. Not as good, and
Speaker 2: it's more high stakes because the reason she meets him
Speaker 2: is that her friend gets killed and putting the dumbstar
Speaker 2: to a story for another day. Yeah, which is like
Speaker 2: you wouldn't truly have I beat you on the arm
Speaker 2: pit Like that's great? Yeah, great great? Oh fun times. Anyway,
Speaker 2: so they decided to do the same thing with Kate and
Speaker 2: Matthew and pair them up again for hopefully a movie
Speaker 2: that will be as good to have to lose a
Speaker 2: guy in ten days.
Speaker 1: It's not that and that's the recommendation. Is it a
Speaker 1: good movie? No? Is it saved by their performances? Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, they're just good together on screen. So I would
Speaker 2: say you watch this movie. If you've watched how Loser
Speaker 2: Guy in ten Days a thousand times, you need to
Speaker 2: give a little break that you watch this instead. Okay,
Speaker 2: quick fire. Are there pirates? That's all from the trailer.
Speaker 2: Kevin Hart's a pirate. He's a gangster pirate. Wait, you
Speaker 2: can't just say no. Kevin Hart's in this movie and
Speaker 2: Donald Sutherland's in this movie. It just got a lot better.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: This was a high stakes, big release movie and it
Speaker 2: was filmed in Australia, in my home state of Queensland.
Speaker 1: Yes, so, Kate Hudson.
Speaker 2: Play these They are a married couple who's about to
Speaker 2: be divorced, Tess and Finn, and they fell in love
Speaker 2: like working on ships and being treasure hunters, like diving
Speaker 2: down to like Los Rex and like cause like if
Speaker 2: they're out in the ocean and you dive down and
Speaker 2: there's treasure there, you get to keep it. That's what
Speaker 2: we call sea law, the law of the ocean in
Speaker 2: international waters. That's pirate law. Okay, So they do that,
Speaker 2: and then he becomes obsessed with finding like one of
Speaker 2: the biggest treasure ships of all time, the Aralia, and
Speaker 2: his obsession drives them apart. So we pick up years later.
Speaker 2: They've been separated for years. He's still searching for the Aurelia.
Speaker 2: He's outed ships and doing illegal things. He's lost all
Speaker 2: his money. It's a whole thing. She's working as a
Speaker 2: steward on Donald Sutherlin's super yacht and his vapid daughter
Speaker 2: has come to stay with him, and it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: So they go to get divorced. Right, they go to
Speaker 1: the divorce hearing.
Speaker 2: Matthew McConaughey's character is called Finn but maybe going forward
Speaker 2: will to score him. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson's character
Speaker 2: is called Tests. They go to the divorce hearing. She's like, yes,
Speaker 2: please divorce us. I need to be away from this man.
Speaker 2: And he's like, no, I still love her, Rah rah rah.
Speaker 2: So then he says to her, I found the Aurelia,
Speaker 2: like I found the way to find it, and will
Speaker 2: you come with me? And then Donald Sutherlan, who's trying
Speaker 2: to impress his crazy, shopholic daughter who doesn't want me
Speaker 2: spend time with him, but it is just going to
Speaker 2: visit her billionaire father to get some money. She becomes
Speaker 2: really invested, so the four of them on their super
Speaker 2: with the two gay chefs that are on board.
Speaker 1: That they're married.
Speaker 2: They're like these crazy rich people can't stand them. They
Speaker 2: go off to finally Aurelia, but Kevin Hart is like
Speaker 2: a He's like a, uh, well, his name is big Bunny,
Speaker 2: Big with two gee's cool. Matthew McConaughey has brought a
Speaker 2: lot of money from him, but he cannot pay back,
Speaker 2: so he kind of chases them out, and it's a
Speaker 2: whole thing of them finding the It's very kind of
Speaker 2: like there's a lot of like action sequences.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're on the run and there's love.
Speaker 2: It's like a pirate weavie, two ships racing for the
Speaker 2: same treasure, a couple falling back in love as they
Speaker 2: remember why.
Speaker 3: The two houses both alike in dignity in fair Varuna
Speaker 3: where we lay our seat, but in this case, unfortunately,
Speaker 3: it is fair Florida where we lay our see.
Speaker 2: And the thing about tessen Thin is that they fight
Speaker 2: really bad, but they have really good sex, is what
Speaker 2: you say. They do have one sex in the movie,
Speaker 2: but the camera cuts away. It's like, what are we
Speaker 2: doing here? All I've heard through this whole movie is
Speaker 2: that he's so good at sex is the best thing
Speaker 2: and that's why she couldn't leave him. And then they
Speaker 2: finally find a treasure map and so to celebrate, they
Speaker 2: have sex in a church.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, it's fine pushing buttons.
Speaker 2: Anyway, she gets kidnappedy Kevin Hart. He goes to save her.
Speaker 2: They find a ship with treasure. It's like a big
Speaker 2: action movie Vibes with Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. Doesn't
Speaker 2: have a fun it, does, you know what? I'm gonna
Speaker 2: watch it just to see watch it just to find out. Honestly,
Speaker 2: some of our recommendations today just a bit of a
Speaker 2: find out.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I just think sometimes sometimes I'm just looking looking, looking
Speaker 2: for a rom com I haven't seen, because if you
Speaker 2: rewatch the classics too much, you make yourself sick of them.
Speaker 2: And watching like a rom com on a Sunday night
Speaker 2: is the ultimate decision to make. Yeah, like Sunday scary
Speaker 2: is lighter candle, there's a pizza.
Speaker 1: I don't know your story. Maybe there's a wine.
Speaker 2: If there's definitely a wine, and you just put on
Speaker 2: a little something that's easy to get into. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: often seeing it home being like, I just wish I
Speaker 2: could like wipe all the rom comes they've seen from
Speaker 2: my memory and watched them again for the first time.
Speaker 2: Because so it just that other people have that issue.
Speaker 2: Maybe haven't seen Fools Gold, maybe not. It's a fun time.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna go super super quick.
Speaker 2: Everyone's excited because this is an unauthorized recommendation that act
Speaker 2: produced told you. Just taken it back around to a
Speaker 2: real recommendation, because I've done two pretty good ones, one questionable. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and now I'm back ye okay, the movie Win a
Speaker 2: date with Tad Hamilton. Oh my god, Yes, yes, I've
Speaker 2: seen Okay, I have watched this movie maybe fifty times.
Speaker 2: This movie was so big and buzzy when it came out,
Speaker 2: and what if people fat it was in my house,
Speaker 2: but I've never met and like out there obviously, our
Speaker 2: team so into pop culture, love movies, all that jazz.
Speaker 1: Anytime I bring this movie up, not a soul has
Speaker 1: heard of it.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, which is crazy, and that's on us for
Speaker 2: hiring and that's on us. We'll talk about that later
Speaker 2: when I wait it came up. We had a whole
Speaker 2: when I was a teenager in this movie came out.
Speaker 2: We had a whole big display, big time, a DVD
Speaker 2: display with like balloons and stuff in this movie came
Speaker 2: out a big dealer. When I have the DVD from
Speaker 2: that time period, maybe I shoped it came out. I
Speaker 2: know you had a Queensland.
Speaker 1: We just established the see her stay on task.
Speaker 2: So win a date with Tad Hamilton. Incredible cast. We've
Speaker 2: got Tofah Grace fresh off that seventies show. He's looking cute,
Speaker 2: he's amazing, we love him. We've got Kate Bosworth also
Speaker 2: recently in Blue Crush, A star on the rise. Possibly
Speaker 2: did she ever rise to her full potential?
Speaker 1: Topic for it? Shit, I think she deserves better, is
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Kate Bosworth should be. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think we all thought she was going to be
Speaker 2: like a mega movie star. She was going to be
Speaker 2: Reese with the Spirit and she's a regular movie star.
Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, she's very happily.
Speaker 1: She got divorced. She's incredible.
Speaker 2: She had to divorce in her forties. She married Justin Long,
Speaker 2: who she's a on com queen. He's a horror movie
Speaker 2: queen with Guild and now they're very happy to make
Speaker 2: movies together she's fine, She's no, she's so fine and
Speaker 2: everything's cool. So also Jennifer Goodwin, oh yeah, and Catherine
Speaker 2: Haun and josh Ja Hammuel so setting the scene. Her
Speaker 2: name is Rosalie Fudge and she works at a Piggly Wiggily,
Speaker 2: which is a supermarket chain wherever in Mid America she's from.
Speaker 1: I think this is when I found out that Piggly
Speaker 1: Wigglies were a real thing. They were a store.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't know that until later in life. I
Speaker 2: thought they were invented for this film.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So Rosalie Futch played by Kate Bosworth and her pals
Speaker 2: all work at the Piggly Wiggly. So Tofa Grace plays
Speaker 2: Pete and he is their manager. It's an important power dynamic.
Speaker 2: Jennifer Goodwin plays Kathy. She's like the weird, quirky friend.
Speaker 2: Sean Hayes and Nathan Lane are in it. Getting to
Speaker 2: that I can't tell. Catherine Hahn local bartender in love
Speaker 2: with Pete. She's incredibly quirky. And the reason I bring
Speaker 2: it up is how to lose a guy in ten
Speaker 2: days and win a date with Tad Hamilton. Exclamation Point
Speaker 2: are Companion Cinema right, I see it. I see it
Speaker 2: because they came out around the same time. And Catherine
Speaker 2: Hahn is like, she steals the show as the best
Speaker 2: kind of character, like incredible in this film. And this
Speaker 2: was before I knew her in like other things. I
Speaker 2: was like, that's the star and I did not know
Speaker 2: the powerhouse actress that she would go.
Speaker 1: We did not come, but we kind of, but we knew.
Speaker 1: We were like, she's incredible.
Speaker 2: So Rosalie is obsessed with a movie star and his name,
Speaker 2: if you could believe it, is Tad Hamilton, a movie
Speaker 2: start name that only works in the early two thousands. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and do you imagine today Tad Hamilton. Tad Hamilton, we
Speaker 2: wouldn't buy it.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, honestly, we're so susceptible to marketing today.
Speaker 2: He starts in one sexy hockey show, everyone would love him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And so Tad Hamilton is like a quintessential Hollywood two
Speaker 2: thousands bad boys. So he's in all of these like blockbusters.
Speaker 2: The women they love Tad Hamilton, but in real life
Speaker 2: he's a problematic party boy and he gets photographed drinking
Speaker 2: and driving and leering.
Speaker 1: That's a direct.
Speaker 2: Quote on the cover of a newspaper and his agents
Speaker 2: are played by Sean Hayes and Nathan Lane, and they
Speaker 2: basically are like, we've got to fix.
Speaker 1: Your image, Tad.
Speaker 2: Here's what we're going to do. We're going to stage
Speaker 2: a competition where fans can enter to win a date
Speaker 2: with you for a charitable outcome, because nothing will fix
Speaker 2: your image more than being pictured with an underage young
Speaker 2: girl exactly who works in a local with a very
Speaker 2: intense power in one hundred percent. So Rosalie. She's the
Speaker 2: beast fan of Tad Hamilton has ever been. She raises
Speaker 2: the money, she enters the competition. They pick her because
Speaker 2: her name is stupid and she's from a small town
Speaker 2: and they're like, well that's like our image rights, small
Speaker 2: town wholesomeness. We'll send them on a date. They go
Speaker 2: on the date, she's like starstruck, it's incredible. They have
Speaker 2: a good time. Surprisingly, he actually is quite charmed.
Speaker 1: By beause she's Kate Bosworth.
Speaker 2: She's beautiful, she's beautiful, and make her not look beautiful
Speaker 2: on this she is beautiful. She's just nervous, like and
Speaker 2: she's funny and I would be too. Imagine me and
Speaker 2: Louis Pullman on a date like you have to be sedated. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I couldn't live through it, but that happens. Oh, by
Speaker 2: the way, Tavi, she works at the sewer basket. She
Speaker 2: works at the Biggi Wiggly. I forgot about that Dad
Speaker 2: Piggly Wiggily was turning out stars starded. Otavia Spencer is
Speaker 2: just like a disgruntled Bigly Wiggly employee and at one
Speaker 2: point she just like is like, whoa Rosalie comes to town,
Speaker 2: but Tad, okay, I've spoiled. Tad comes to town because
Speaker 2: they go on this date and he can't stop thinking
Speaker 2: about it. Of course sums the town and he's like, Rosalie,
Speaker 2: let's date for real?
Speaker 1: And she's like, what the fucking.
Speaker 2: And she lives home with her dad, and so she
Speaker 2: runs home to her dad and she's like, I'm going
Speaker 2: on a date with who movie start?
Speaker 1: Dad Hamilton?
Speaker 2: Okay, great, Pete forgot about Pete for Grace to for
Speaker 2: Grace fuming. He's obviously he's had a crush on Paul
Speaker 2: Rosalie his whole life and he's never once done anything
Speaker 2: about it because small town boys don't really do things
Speaker 2: like that. He's fuming whole town's buzzing. Everyone's excited except
Speaker 2: Pete and Pete's dog and for high association Catherine Hahn
Speaker 2: and the bartender is pissed because Catherine Hahn is in
Speaker 2: love with Pete.
Speaker 1: This is Shakespeare. I don't fool's goal with Shakespeare with
Speaker 1: this is no.
Speaker 2: So bartender upset because she's in love with someone who's
Speaker 2: in love with someone else. And everyone's just upset except
Speaker 2: for Tad. Hamilton image is thriving. He's got a hot
Speaker 2: new girlfriend and he's like bought a ranch and he's
Speaker 2: chopping wood and he's like, look at me and prepping
Speaker 2: for my next big role in Hollywood. Pete gives again
Speaker 2: another great monologue because you know he he knows all
Speaker 2: these amaze things about Rosalie that like Tad would never
Speaker 2: even notice. Like Tad doesn't even get her the way
Speaker 2: that Pete does. Okay, Like it's so serious. If this
Speaker 2: movie came right now, Pete would be like in the matosphere.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but no, but we love Pete with us. Pete,
Speaker 2: I know he's okay, protected and he gets I think
Speaker 2: here's a degree or something. It's like a really big
Speaker 2: plot point is that he gets accepted somewhere. I think
Speaker 2: it's I think it's like an ivy or like even
Speaker 2: just a universe school because they're not in high school,
Speaker 2: but they are clearly like in their very early twenties,
Speaker 2: and you don't really touch on that because it could
Speaker 2: get weird. Tad Hamilton clearly like thirty or something, and
Speaker 2: alcoholic Pete keeps getting employee of the month, gets a
Speaker 2: new he gets into school.
Speaker 1: I believe it's medicine.
Speaker 2: Wow, and he's gonna leave, and so suddenly Tad might
Speaker 2: take Rosalie off to Tinseltown or Pete's over here. And
Speaker 2: then also, oh my god, best line of the film.
Speaker 2: My mum and my family always like quote this to
Speaker 2: me whenever they think I need like a weird clearche
Speaker 2: pep in my step. It's honey, your odds go up
Speaker 2: when you file an application.
Speaker 1: And isn't that so true? Isn't that so true?
Speaker 2: My god, I'm going to date with Tad Hamilton, like
Speaker 2: speaking on a level that we weren't even prepared for. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and great soundtrack anyway, I'm done, Okay, wow, And who
Speaker 2: did you say played Tad Hamilton? Josha Hamuel Okay, t
Speaker 2: hammel mel I said it was Josh Jummel.
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: When I've been thinking about Turkey's ex husband is so true.
Speaker 2: The guy who was in the Trains. We talked about
Speaker 2: him the other day for some reason.
Speaker 1: Random caln Oh, because he's in Ransom Kenyon. Of course, of.
Speaker 2: Course he's Yeah, he's the lead in the Netflix cowboy
Speaker 2: esque Ransom Canyon, and he was in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: He's the transformer and he's very good as Tad Hamilton. Yea,
Speaker 1: but what's his name? I've been calling him Josh Jummel
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years.
Speaker 2: I think of the two of us, You're going to
