The first movie off the top of my 73 00:03:13,714 --> 00:03:15,994 Speaker 2: head is Under the Tuscan Sun because it's about a 74 00:03:16,034 --> 00:03:18,834 Speaker 2: woman who follows her dream and changes her life in 75 00:03:18,874 --> 00:03:21,634 Speaker 2: a huge way.

There's one movie 93 00:03:58,754 --> 00:04:01,034 Speaker 1: that I'm worried about, but the other two I feel 94 00:04:01,034 --> 00:04:01,834 Speaker 1: like it can make it worse. 95 00:04:01,954 --> 00:04:04,194 Speaker 2: Okay, well, guys, let's just drap in. 96 00:04:04,234 --> 00:04:05,354 Speaker 1: Which one do you want me to start with? 97 00:04:05,554 --> 00:04:07,314 Speaker 2: Dude, I don't even know at this stage.

No, no, no, I love that. It's just 108 00:04:28,234 --> 00:04:29,193 Speaker 2: like Mamma Mia the movie. 109 00:04:29,274 --> 00:04:31,433 Speaker 1: Yeah, MoMA Mea, the movie I'm Mom Mia Office. 110 00:04:31,513 --> 00:04:33,433 Speaker 2: Yeah.

It's what 114 00:04:42,993 --> 00:04:44,953 Speaker 2: the people mean into that. What if I just announced 115 00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:46,994 Speaker 2: it and then we'd have to do it, That's the thing. 116 00:04:47,154 --> 00:04:49,953 Speaker 2: So what about the story of Mamma Mia and a 117 00:04:50,073 --> 00:04:52,794 Speaker 2: woman not knowing who of these three matters her father 118 00:04:52,953 --> 00:04:55,674 Speaker 2: and then invite them all to her wedding, and just 119 00:04:55,714 --> 00:04:58,154 Speaker 2: I guess, like Sophie's life on the island and what 120 00:04:58,474 --> 00:05:00,034 Speaker 2: about that is inspiring to you because I don't. I 121 00:05:00,073 --> 00:05:01,474 Speaker 2: don't think you're wrong. I just want to hear your 122 00:05:01,513 --> 00:05:02,113 Speaker 2: reasoning for me. 123 00:05:02,154 --> 00:05:07,073 Speaker 1: When I watch Mama Maya, I'm literally like nothing matters. Wow, 124 00:05:07,393 --> 00:05:12,593 Speaker 1: literally nothing matters. Like literally just leave, go live on 125 00:05:12,594 --> 00:05:16,034 Speaker 1: an island. Yeah, go rough it out, make a beautiful hotel, 126 00:05:16,873 --> 00:05:20,153 Speaker 1: dance with three men, and enjoy the rest of your life. 127 00:05:20,393 --> 00:05:23,313 Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a beautiful Like again, I'm not laughing you, 128 00:05:23,393 --> 00:05:25,393 Speaker 2: I think. Yeah, with Meryl Streep's character. 129 00:05:25,433 --> 00:05:27,513 Speaker 1: She Mama Mia two is probably better. 130 00:05:27,834 --> 00:05:29,594 Speaker 2: Oh when Donna's den rude. 131 00:05:29,313 --> 00:05:31,753 Speaker 1: When you see like the beginnings of Donna's life. 132 00:05:31,834 --> 00:05:33,794 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, I do love that. Yeah. Actually we 133 00:05:33,873 --> 00:05:37,313 Speaker 2: can probably roll them into one movie Mamia one, Mammia two, 134 00:05:37,354 --> 00:05:39,914 Speaker 2: and Amanda Seifer said that they're working hard on Mammia three, 135 00:05:39,993 --> 00:05:41,074 Speaker 2: So I do think that's gonna happen. 136 00:05:41,154 --> 00:05:42,993 Speaker 1: It's just those movies that I feel like I watch 137 00:05:43,034 --> 00:05:45,433 Speaker 1: and then I just feel so energized and happy. Yeah, 138 00:05:45,513 --> 00:05:46,834 Speaker 1: Like it's not one of those movies where you just 139 00:05:46,873 --> 00:05:48,474 Speaker 1: sit there and you're like, oh, now what. 140 00:05:48,753 --> 00:05:50,834 Speaker 2: And I also think that there's two different prongs with 141 00:05:50,953 --> 00:05:54,034 Speaker 2: the two different stories. Is that you have Donna's story 142 00:05:54,034 --> 00:05:56,914 Speaker 2: of her, like you do believe that she made this 143 00:05:57,034 --> 00:05:59,594 Speaker 2: beautiful home on this island with her daughter and her 144 00:05:59,594 --> 00:06:03,194 Speaker 2: business and her friends, and she had this big, wild, beautiful, 145 00:06:03,193 --> 00:06:05,553 Speaker 2: exciting life that she set up on her own terms. 146 00:06:05,753 --> 00:06:07,833 Speaker 2: And yes, she falls in love with you Prosdon and 147 00:06:07,873 --> 00:06:09,794 Speaker 2: they get married, but her life was great before that. 148 00:06:10,113 --> 00:06:11,594 Speaker 2: And then you also have Sophie at the end of 149 00:06:11,633 --> 00:06:14,674 Speaker 2: the first movie deciding that real happiness is not the 150 00:06:14,714 --> 00:06:17,434 Speaker 2: traditional at that point in time, getting married but still 151 00:06:17,474 --> 00:06:19,034 Speaker 2: staying with the man she loves and going off to 152 00:06:19,034 --> 00:06:21,553 Speaker 2: see the world and having an adventure. So really it's 153 00:06:21,594 --> 00:06:25,513 Speaker 2: a two prong inspirational story. Yeah. Oh I love that 154 00:06:25,594 --> 00:06:26,834 Speaker 2: this is your recommendation. 155 00:06:27,154 --> 00:06:27,993 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so good. 156 00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:30,833 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.

Yes, 176 00:07:15,914 --> 00:07:18,554 Speaker 2: I remind you of your parents, both of them, both 177 00:07:18,594 --> 00:07:20,634 Speaker 2: of them together. See, at the end of the day, 178 00:07:20,714 --> 00:07:22,234 Speaker 2: I am their child. Literally. 179 00:07:22,514 --> 00:07:24,434 Speaker 1: That's why. The only thing they'll realize if we saw 180 00:07:24,514 --> 00:07:26,234 Speaker 1: if we did a Freaky Friday. But it's just a 181 00:07:26,274 --> 00:07:28,794 Speaker 1: movie that makes me just so so excited, Like I 182 00:07:28,874 --> 00:07:31,273 Speaker 1: just get so energized, and I feel like it's also 183 00:07:31,314 --> 00:07:33,154 Speaker 1: one of those movies I can watch on repeat and 184 00:07:33,234 --> 00:07:34,514 Speaker 1: people just love more and more. 185 00:07:34,674 --> 00:07:36,194 Speaker 2: I haven't watch that movie in years, you know. I 186 00:07:36,234 --> 00:07:37,914 Speaker 2: don't even know if I've seen it. I've seen it 187 00:07:37,953 --> 00:07:39,514 Speaker 2: since it was in cinemas. I showed it to my 188 00:07:39,634 --> 00:07:41,874 Speaker 2: mum and she loved it, and I haven't watched it 189 00:07:41,914 --> 00:07:42,874 Speaker 2: since like eight years ago. 190 00:07:43,314 --> 00:07:46,194 Speaker 1: For the girls, it is for the girls. 191 00:07:45,354 --> 00:07:47,634 Speaker 2: For the dancing, and I just love that tear sprawls 192 00:07:47,674 --> 00:07:49,914 Speaker 2: and can't sing a note, does it anyway? 193 00:07:49,953 --> 00:07:51,393 Speaker 1: He does that talking sing. 194 00:07:51,234 --> 00:07:53,833 Speaker 2: Yeah, and like that's also inspiration for following your dreams. 195 00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:56,234 Speaker 2: That man can't sing and he's the lead of a musical. 196 00:07:56,874 --> 00:07:58,314 Speaker 2: If you want to put your mind to it, you 197 00:07:58,354 --> 00:08:01,354 Speaker 2: can do it. Colin Firth can't dance dances anyway, Yeah, 198 00:08:01,393 --> 00:08:03,914 Speaker 2: and he loved it. Yeah. Stellan Skarsguard doesn't want to 199 00:08:03,914 --> 00:08:07,393 Speaker 2: be there, but still talks nicely of the movie. And 200 00:08:07,393 --> 00:08:09,314 Speaker 2: he said it's the movie people talking about the most 201 00:08:10,953 --> 00:08:13,594 Speaker 2: out of all the movie, which he's a bit like, 202 00:08:13,634 --> 00:08:15,394 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's what I wanted my career. 203 00:08:15,194 --> 00:08:16,714 Speaker 1: But he's not overtaking my career. 204 00:08:17,874 --> 00:08:21,314 Speaker 2: Yeah. So hopefully they're all back from MAMMEA three that'll 205 00:08:21,314 --> 00:08:21,833 Speaker 2: be amazing. 206 00:08:23,754 --> 00:08:24,713 Speaker 1: Okay, watch yours. 207 00:08:24,834 --> 00:08:28,194 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm excited for my list. So the first time 208 00:08:28,194 --> 00:08:31,434 Speaker 2: I've picked is one I have a very vivid memory 209 00:08:31,474 --> 00:08:33,194 Speaker 2: of watching when I was in high school and being 210 00:08:33,314 --> 00:08:35,994 Speaker 2: very moved by it. So this movie came out in 211 00:08:35,994 --> 00:08:38,474 Speaker 2: two thousand and three and it's called Mona Lisa Smile. 212 00:08:39,034 --> 00:08:39,914 Speaker 1: I don't think I've watched that. 213 00:08:40,914 --> 00:08:43,394 Speaker 2: Are you kidding? Oh, you're in for such a treat, 214 00:08:43,394 --> 00:08:46,674 Speaker 2: Emilya Lisa Smile. Yes, you don't know Mona Lisa's Smile. 215 00:08:47,234 --> 00:08:50,394 Speaker 2: Was this like a pivotal moment in everyone's life. I 216 00:08:50,434 --> 00:08:52,434 Speaker 2: went to see it with all of my high school friends, 217 00:08:52,514 --> 00:08:56,194 Speaker 2: and we not only love the movie, but we felt 218 00:08:56,234 --> 00:08:59,314 Speaker 2: it was also a little bit of a documentary about us. 219 00:08:59,394 --> 00:09:03,314 Speaker 2: Even though it's set in nineteen fifty three, this was 220 00:09:03,314 --> 00:09:06,314 Speaker 2: two thousand and three because it's set at Wellesley College, 221 00:09:06,314 --> 00:09:07,994 Speaker 2: which is a real college did in America, like a 222 00:09:08,114 --> 00:09:10,634 Speaker 2: very fancy ladies finishing college. And I didn't go to 223 00:09:10,674 --> 00:09:12,634 Speaker 2: a fancy high school, but I went to like a 224 00:09:12,674 --> 00:09:16,833 Speaker 2: convent high school in with announced so many nuns in 225 00:09:16,954 --> 00:09:20,154 Speaker 2: Townsville right on the beach Saint Pats if anyone knows it, and. 226 00:09:20,554 --> 00:09:21,434 Speaker 1: Blue Water Hirelan. 227 00:09:21,754 --> 00:09:23,554 Speaker 2: We weren't allowed to go to the beach. There was 228 00:09:23,594 --> 00:09:26,434 Speaker 2: a there was an iron fence between us and the beach, 229 00:09:26,754 --> 00:09:30,674 Speaker 2: and people would it's more like that would walk past 230 00:09:30,674 --> 00:09:32,194 Speaker 2: and be like, we thought this was a prison, but 231 00:09:32,194 --> 00:09:34,034 Speaker 2: then we saw girls in white huts and we're like, 232 00:09:34,034 --> 00:09:37,034 Speaker 2: this is our school, how dare you? Because we also 233 00:09:37,154 --> 00:09:39,554 Speaker 2: like in the movie they learned how to cook and 234 00:09:39,594 --> 00:09:41,554 Speaker 2: walk and stuff, and we did that in high school too. 235 00:09:41,554 --> 00:09:42,874 Speaker 2: We learned how to get out of a car, how 236 00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:44,594 Speaker 2: to walk with a book on our heads? Did you do 237 00:09:44,634 --> 00:09:47,434 Speaker 2: it in high school? How to put makeup on? How 238 00:09:47,474 --> 00:09:49,434 Speaker 2: to put men we won't, how to throw a dinner 239 00:09:49,474 --> 00:09:51,394 Speaker 2: party for your well, we were like, could we throw 240 00:09:51,394 --> 00:09:52,834 Speaker 2: it for our boss? And the lady who did it 241 00:09:52,874 --> 00:09:58,634 Speaker 2: was like, maybe your husband's boss. Anyway, that's that stuff aside, 242 00:09:58,634 --> 00:10:00,953 Speaker 2: because this movie is set in the fifties. This is 243 00:10:00,994 --> 00:10:03,594 Speaker 2: an incredible movie. So it is set in nineteen fifty three, 244 00:10:04,114 --> 00:10:06,474 Speaker 2: and it tells the story of a thirty year old woman. 245 00:10:06,514 --> 00:10:09,034 Speaker 2: Now she's thirty, which is important. So she's an old 246 00:10:09,034 --> 00:10:12,394 Speaker 2: maid forgotten by the world, never to take a husband 247 00:10:12,754 --> 00:10:16,234 Speaker 2: called Catherine Ann Watson played by a young lady called 248 00:10:16,274 --> 00:10:19,834 Speaker 2: Julia Roberts. Oh my god, yeah, I still don't believe 249 00:10:19,874 --> 00:10:20,674 Speaker 2: you haven't seen this movie. 250 00:10:20,714 --> 00:10:22,914 Speaker 1: This is actually pivotal because I'm turning thirty next year. 251 00:10:23,114 --> 00:10:25,074 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I should watch it. 252 00:10:25,194 --> 00:10:27,554 Speaker 2: Oh my god, you could be you could be Julia Robertson. 253 00:10:28,074 --> 00:10:29,274 Speaker 1: You know what it sound like, we're in the same 254 00:10:29,314 --> 00:10:30,114 Speaker 1: life stage. 255 00:10:29,994 --> 00:10:33,834 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well again, she is a passionate, driven, very very 256 00:10:33,874 --> 00:10:37,114 Speaker 2: clever woman. So she goes to Wellesley College to teach 257 00:10:37,234 --> 00:10:40,154 Speaker 2: art history, and she's all about, like, I don't need 258 00:10:40,194 --> 00:10:43,114 Speaker 2: to get married. Women should have an education, women should 259 00:10:43,114 --> 00:10:44,874 Speaker 2: have birth control. She's really big on that, which she 260 00:10:44,874 --> 00:10:47,034 Speaker 2: gets thrown a bit of hot water. And it's one 261 00:10:47,034 --> 00:10:49,074 Speaker 2: of the few colleges at that time where women can 262 00:10:49,114 --> 00:10:51,754 Speaker 2: go and get a degree, and she thinks that she's 263 00:10:51,794 --> 00:10:54,434 Speaker 2: going to empower this first group of women who are 264 00:10:54,474 --> 00:10:57,394 Speaker 2: really getting an education. But when she gets their things 265 00:10:57,434 --> 00:10:59,154 Speaker 2: are not as as it appears because a lot of 266 00:10:59,154 --> 00:11:01,434 Speaker 2: her students, like she teaches this one class, these art 267 00:11:01,474 --> 00:11:05,074 Speaker 2: history girls, and they've all memorized the syllabus already and 268 00:11:05,114 --> 00:11:07,674 Speaker 2: they're just sort of turning through the facts. Or what 269 00:11:07,714 --> 00:11:10,594 Speaker 2: she learns is like they're not there to change their 270 00:11:10,634 --> 00:11:13,274 Speaker 2: lives and go to college as she thought, but go 271 00:11:13,314 --> 00:11:14,874 Speaker 2: on to do pre law or anything like that. They're 272 00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:16,754 Speaker 2: all just there to kind of just get their degree. 273 00:11:16,754 --> 00:11:18,954 Speaker 2: As like a little side quest and they're all waiting 274 00:11:19,034 --> 00:11:21,234 Speaker 2: till they get married, and marriage is very much the goal, 275 00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:24,794 Speaker 2: which she is horrified by. The cast of students ten 276 00:11:24,794 --> 00:11:28,434 Speaker 2: out of ten. We've got Kirsten Dunce as Betty. Betty 277 00:11:28,914 --> 00:11:32,594 Speaker 2: initially is well, she's a raging bitch, but you learn 278 00:11:32,674 --> 00:11:35,833 Speaker 2: why Betty gets married early on. Yeah, oh my god, 279 00:11:35,874 --> 00:11:38,154 Speaker 2: kiss and duns and this is cutting because she's very 280 00:11:38,194 --> 00:11:40,714 Speaker 2: much like editor of the school newspaper, leader of the 281 00:11:40,714 --> 00:11:43,714 Speaker 2: girl gag about to marry her dream guy. Everything's perfect, 282 00:11:43,754 --> 00:11:46,274 Speaker 2: but is it? And then we've also got Julia Styles 283 00:11:46,434 --> 00:11:49,354 Speaker 2: as Joan. This is peak Julia Styles error, I love you. 284 00:11:49,514 --> 00:11:52,634 Speaker 2: Julia Styles is Joan is like wildly clever, and she's 285 00:11:52,754 --> 00:11:55,794 Speaker 2: very enamored with Julia Roberts character when she writes yes, 286 00:11:55,954 --> 00:11:57,874 Speaker 2: just sweet and funny and nice, and she and Betty 287 00:11:57,874 --> 00:11:59,714 Speaker 2: are best friends. But Betty's kind of like seen as 288 00:11:59,714 --> 00:12:01,833 Speaker 2: the evil one and Joan's the nice one. Also, we 289 00:12:01,914 --> 00:12:05,634 Speaker 2: have Maggie Dyllan Hall as Giselle. Gizelle is a lady 290 00:12:05,674 --> 00:12:09,154 Speaker 2: about town having sex with men and which is forbidden. 291 00:12:09,714 --> 00:12:12,674 Speaker 2: And we've also got Jennifer Goodwin as Connie, the sweet, 292 00:12:12,834 --> 00:12:16,194 Speaker 2: lovely one who no boys want to date until she 293 00:12:16,234 --> 00:12:19,194 Speaker 2: meets a kind of sweet boy who wants to date her, 294 00:12:20,194 --> 00:12:21,954 Speaker 2: and so you sort of see as they go. The 295 00:12:21,994 --> 00:12:24,514 Speaker 2: movie follows them through the school year, and you see 296 00:12:24,594 --> 00:12:27,514 Speaker 2: Julia Roberts's character like desperately trying to cling to this 297 00:12:27,634 --> 00:12:29,834 Speaker 2: ideal that she has that the one thing in life 298 00:12:29,914 --> 00:12:31,994 Speaker 2: is to sort of teach these women, and so it's 299 00:12:32,034 --> 00:12:33,474 Speaker 2: inspiring in that way. This is why I think it's 300 00:12:33,474 --> 00:12:34,954 Speaker 2: a good movie to watch be for the New Year, 301 00:12:35,194 --> 00:12:37,234 Speaker 2: because of how a lot of their stories end. So 302 00:12:37,474 --> 00:12:39,714 Speaker 2: you give a few kind of light spoilers here, but 303 00:12:39,714 --> 00:12:42,114 Speaker 2: you should still watch it, Okay, okay, because I really 304 00:12:42,114 --> 00:12:43,914 Speaker 2: want you to watch this movie, just like you'll have 305 00:12:43,954 --> 00:12:45,234 Speaker 2: such a good time and then you can message me 306 00:12:45,234 --> 00:12:47,074 Speaker 2: afterwards and you'll probably messageing one of those photos where 307 00:12:47,074 --> 00:12:49,714 Speaker 2: you're crying. It's just interesting about how like your dreams 308 00:12:49,754 --> 00:12:51,474 Speaker 2: don't have to look how they were on paper. Like 309 00:12:51,594 --> 00:12:54,274 Speaker 2: for Kirsen Dunne's character, her dream was to marry this 310 00:12:54,314 --> 00:12:57,074 Speaker 2: guy and be a good wife. And when she realizes 311 00:12:57,154 --> 00:13:00,114 Speaker 2: no matter what she does, and being the perfect wife 312 00:13:00,154 --> 00:13:01,714 Speaker 2: isn't going to make her happy, isn't going to make 313 00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:04,834 Speaker 2: her husband treat her like a person she is the 314 00:13:04,834 --> 00:13:07,834 Speaker 2: one to sort of change her life, and Julia Roberts 315 00:13:07,914 --> 00:13:10,434 Speaker 2: helps her do that. And you also have the character 316 00:13:10,474 --> 00:13:11,874 Speaker 2: of Joan, who is being set up to be like 317 00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:13,594 Speaker 2: the smart one, the one who's going to escape, the 318 00:13:13,594 --> 00:13:15,314 Speaker 2: one who's going to get out of this. And at 319 00:13:15,354 --> 00:13:17,674 Speaker 2: the end, she chooses and this is a little light spoiler, 320 00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:20,074 Speaker 2: I guess she chooses not to go to college. She 321 00:13:20,114 --> 00:13:22,954 Speaker 2: chooses to get married instead, and Julia Roberts is so 322 00:13:23,994 --> 00:13:27,194 Speaker 2: disappointed but trying not to show her, and Julia Styles 323 00:13:27,234 --> 00:13:30,034 Speaker 2: gives this incredible speech that is like picked Julia Styles, 324 00:13:30,074 --> 00:13:32,194 Speaker 2: and she was like, being a housewife is not a 325 00:13:32,274 --> 00:13:35,074 Speaker 2: letdown you Like you assume that housewife has no intellect, 326 00:13:35,234 --> 00:13:37,194 Speaker 2: has no dreams of her own, but like, that couldn't 327 00:13:37,194 --> 00:13:39,074 Speaker 2: be further from the truth. And that's my real dream 328 00:13:39,074 --> 00:13:40,274 Speaker 2: and I'm going to chase it and I won't give 329 00:13:40,274 --> 00:13:42,034 Speaker 2: it up for anything.

Because when this movie came out, the 365 00:15:02,274 --> 00:15:06,634 Speaker 2: critics panned it. They said it was like predictable, They 366 00:15:06,674 --> 00:15:08,434 Speaker 2: said it was sappy, they said it was like a 367 00:15:08,474 --> 00:15:11,554 Speaker 2: women's version of the Dead Poet Society, but it lacked 368 00:15:11,594 --> 00:15:14,594 Speaker 2: the drama and grace of that. And what's kind of 369 00:15:14,634 --> 00:15:16,554 Speaker 2: interesting that I realized now because when I saw that, 370 00:15:16,554 --> 00:15:18,434 Speaker 2: I was like a teenage girl and I felt really 371 00:15:18,474 --> 00:15:20,714 Speaker 2: stupid because I was like, Ah, my friends and I 372 00:15:20,794 --> 00:15:22,754 Speaker 2: love this movie, and we talk about it at school 373 00:15:22,834 --> 00:15:25,634 Speaker 2: the time, we watched it sleepovers together and everyone I 374 00:15:25,714 --> 00:15:27,354 Speaker 2: knew loved it. And then I was reading all these 375 00:15:27,394 --> 00:15:29,234 Speaker 2: reviews and it wasn't n til I got older. I'm like, well, 376 00:15:29,274 --> 00:15:31,594 Speaker 2: these reviews were all at the time written by old 377 00:15:31,594 --> 00:15:34,354 Speaker 2: white men, have a place in the world.

Yeah, 420 00:17:13,634 --> 00:17:15,634 Speaker 1: and then I watched it, and then I still really 421 00:17:15,674 --> 00:17:18,154 Speaker 1: really enjoyed it because I think for me, when I 422 00:17:18,154 --> 00:17:20,514 Speaker 1: watched it this year, it felt a bit different. Yeah, 423 00:17:20,554 --> 00:17:21,674 Speaker 1: and it's suddenly thirty. 424 00:17:21,994 --> 00:17:23,794 Speaker 2: Oh okay, No, that's a great movie. 425 00:17:23,794 --> 00:17:25,874 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love this movie so much, and 426 00:17:25,914 --> 00:17:27,634 Speaker 1: I think I was just scared to watch it because 427 00:17:27,634 --> 00:17:30,074 Speaker 1: I'm like, she's only thirty, and yet she's like an 428 00:17:30,154 --> 00:17:33,234 Speaker 1: editor of this magazine and she's living in this massive mansion. 429 00:17:33,354 --> 00:17:35,313 Speaker 1: She's dating this hottest guy. You know, he's a bit 430 00:17:35,314 --> 00:17:35,793 Speaker 1: of a weirdo. 431 00:17:35,914 --> 00:17:36,714 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's sitting this. 432 00:17:36,674 --> 00:17:39,833 Speaker 1: Hottest guy, and it's like so unrealistic from what a 433 00:17:39,834 --> 00:17:41,354 Speaker 1: thirty year old actually looks like. 434 00:17:41,434 --> 00:17:42,954 Speaker 2: Can I take this is no? I agree with you, 435 00:17:42,994 --> 00:17:44,994 Speaker 2: and I can prove it. And because one of the 436 00:17:45,114 --> 00:17:46,954 Speaker 2: very first pieces I wrote for Mom and Meal when 437 00:17:46,954 --> 00:17:49,914 Speaker 2: I started here many many many years ago was the 438 00:17:50,074 --> 00:17:51,914 Speaker 2: rom Coms of Our Youth. So that one, and I 439 00:17:51,994 --> 00:17:55,434 Speaker 2: named that one, didn't give us unrealistic expectations about love. 440 00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:59,553 Speaker 2: They gave us unrealistic expectations about real estate. Because I 441 00:17:59,594 --> 00:18:02,154 Speaker 2: always thought by thirty, I too would be living in 442 00:18:02,194 --> 00:18:04,754 Speaker 2: a big, beautiful, sprawling apartment in the city, and I 443 00:18:04,794 --> 00:18:08,793 Speaker 2: would have a huge wardrobe of life incredible designer clothes, 444 00:18:08,794 --> 00:18:11,074 Speaker 2: and I'd be going to these crazy parties every night 445 00:18:11,154 --> 00:18:13,513 Speaker 2: and men chasing you. Because that's what the rom coms 446 00:18:13,514 --> 00:18:16,314 Speaker 2: told us, and that's what isn't that why we all 447 00:18:16,314 --> 00:18:19,793 Speaker 2: went into media. Suddenly thirty had lose and then we 448 00:18:19,834 --> 00:18:22,154 Speaker 2: even Devilare's Pride. I took the wrong message from that. 449 00:18:22,194 --> 00:18:24,634 Speaker 2: I was like, no, be Emily Charlton, we got here. 450 00:18:24,674 --> 00:18:27,154 Speaker 2: And then they're like no, They're like, see this like 451 00:18:27,314 --> 00:18:29,674 Speaker 2: tiny studio apartment.

But it 454 00:18:35,594 --> 00:18:36,074 Speaker 2: took a while. 455 00:18:36,154 --> 00:18:36,874 Speaker 1: It took a while. 456 00:18:37,114 --> 00:18:37,834 Speaker 2: We're still calling. 457 00:18:37,914 --> 00:18:38,794 Speaker 1: We're still getting there. 458 00:18:38,914 --> 00:18:41,394 Speaker 2: Yeah, movies have a lot to answer for about the 459 00:18:41,434 --> 00:18:43,554 Speaker 2: age of thirty because it's sin in life, but it's 460 00:18:43,554 --> 00:18:46,154 Speaker 2: also seen in cinema. Is it's huge defining moment in 461 00:18:46,194 --> 00:18:48,593 Speaker 2: your life when you're supposed to have everything together. 462 00:18:49,354 --> 00:18:52,114 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it just this movie.

Yeah, And 465 00:18:56,914 --> 00:18:58,914 Speaker 1: then I watched it this year as a twenty nine 466 00:18:58,994 --> 00:19:00,954 Speaker 1: year old, and it was more it wasn't like your 467 00:19:00,954 --> 00:19:03,194 Speaker 1: life's not glamorous, because it definitely as nic as glamorous 468 00:19:03,194 --> 00:19:05,874 Speaker 1: as that, Yeah, but it was more just like trying 469 00:19:05,914 --> 00:19:09,274 Speaker 1: to remember how I felt when I was thirteen and 470 00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:12,994 Speaker 1: how like much young girls really look forward to getting older.

So the director Penny Marshall 591 00:23:55,234 --> 00:23:58,234 Speaker 2: saw the nineteen eighty seven TV documentary A League of 592 00:23:58,274 --> 00:24:00,994 Speaker 2: Their Own, which is based on the real story of 593 00:24:01,034 --> 00:24:03,434 Speaker 2: the women who were in the All American Girls Professional 594 00:24:03,474 --> 00:24:06,033 Speaker 2: Baseball League, and was like, this has to be a movie. 595 00:24:06,194 --> 00:24:08,834 Speaker 2: And the movie just became iconic. Like there's a line 596 00:24:08,834 --> 00:24:10,714 Speaker 2: Tom Hanks said, which has voted one of the best 597 00:24:10,754 --> 00:24:13,674 Speaker 2: lines in cinema across multiple platforms, where he's yelling at 598 00:24:13,714 --> 00:24:15,274 Speaker 2: them one of the girls starts crying. He's like, there's 599 00:24:15,314 --> 00:24:20,273 Speaker 2: no crying in baseball, yes, but it's so interesting that 600 00:24:20,514 --> 00:24:23,234 Speaker 2: all the time, what do you really ever heard you say? 601 00:24:23,874 --> 00:24:26,353 Speaker 1: Okay, I can't believe you don't know where that when 602 00:24:26,394 --> 00:24:28,634 Speaker 1: I was a sports girl my dad used to stay 603 00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:28,994 Speaker 1: it all the time. 604 00:24:29,514 --> 00:24:30,874 Speaker 2: You need to watch the movie so you know where 605 00:24:30,874 --> 00:24:32,994 Speaker 2: it's quoted from. But the reason I think it's inspiring 606 00:24:33,194 --> 00:24:35,674 Speaker 2: is I don't want to play baseball personally. Yeah, but 607 00:24:35,714 --> 00:24:38,234 Speaker 2: I find the women in this movie crazy inspiring. First 608 00:24:38,234 --> 00:24:41,514 Speaker 2: of all because they're based on real women who actually 609 00:24:41,514 --> 00:24:43,554 Speaker 2: did this. But a lot of them have to fight 610 00:24:43,594 --> 00:24:45,594 Speaker 2: to get there. They have to go against their families, 611 00:24:45,834 --> 00:24:48,594 Speaker 2: they trained so hard. One of the best players is 612 00:24:48,634 --> 00:24:50,234 Speaker 2: told to leave because she's not pretty enough. 613 00:24:51,474 --> 00:24:54,314 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I wonder if that movie Drew Barrymore made. 614 00:24:54,554 --> 00:24:57,834 Speaker 2: Oh with it also based on a true story. That's 615 00:24:57,874 --> 00:24:59,954 Speaker 2: a great movie too, Roller Derby. 616 00:25:00,674 --> 00:25:02,394 Speaker 1: I love that movie. 617 00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:04,394 Speaker 2: Ten out of ten. Yeah, any kind of women's sports 618 00:25:04,394 --> 00:25:07,434 Speaker 2: movies just a genre. We should do it once stage Okay, 619 00:25:07,434 --> 00:25:09,874 Speaker 2: coming here, No, I know, but I again, I don't 620 00:25:09,914 --> 00:25:11,714 Speaker 2: want to play these sports, but I'll watch the share 621 00:25:11,794 --> 00:25:14,834 Speaker 2: of these movies because they are so inspiring. So Aliga 622 00:25:14,874 --> 00:25:17,074 Speaker 2: there are. You should watch the movie and the TV show, 623 00:25:17,554 --> 00:25:20,154 Speaker 2: not only because they're just wildly entertaining. And Alleiga of 624 00:25:20,154 --> 00:25:22,314 Speaker 2: their own came out well over thirty years ago at 625 00:25:22,314 --> 00:25:24,394 Speaker 2: the movie and it still holds up to this day. 626 00:25:24,954 --> 00:25:26,474 Speaker 2: Like your heart will be beating. At the end, you've 627 00:25:26,514 --> 00:25:27,914 Speaker 2: been jumping up and down. You'll be like, I want 628 00:25:27,954 --> 00:25:29,513 Speaker 2: to watch I want to be a player on a 629 00:25:29,514 --> 00:25:30,154 Speaker 2: baseball team. 630 00:25:30,314 --> 00:25:32,114 Speaker 1: You say, Madonna's in it, Madonna's in it. 631 00:25:32,034 --> 00:25:33,793 Speaker 2: Wild, Yeah, she's great in it. 632 00:25:33,874 --> 00:25:34,553 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 633 00:25:34,674 --> 00:25:36,754 Speaker 2: And again, it's just a really inspiring story of women 634 00:25:36,794 --> 00:25:39,714 Speaker 2: following their dreams, women taking over a male dominating industry, 635 00:25:39,994 --> 00:25:42,434 Speaker 2: and women just doing the jobs they want, even if 636 00:25:42,434 --> 00:25:45,194 Speaker 2: they're being told they're not pretty enough, they're not smart enough, 637 00:25:45,194 --> 00:25:46,714 Speaker 2: they're not good enough. And I think that is the 638 00:25:46,794 --> 00:25:49,154 Speaker 2: energy we should all take into the new year. And 639 00:25:49,194 --> 00:25:50,274 Speaker 2: there's no crying in baseball. 640 00:25:50,314 --> 00:25:51,434 Speaker 1: There's no crying in baseball. 641 00:25:51,714 --> 00:25:55,274 Speaker 2: So important.

If you not 666 00:26:54,394 --> 00:26:57,553 Speaker 2: to know his name, I'm sorry to anyone else, they 667 00:26:57,554 --> 00:26:59,194 Speaker 2: would laugh you out of this room. To me, I'm 668 00:26:59,234 --> 00:27:01,394 Speaker 2: always here for an Avengers movie. And I also find 669 00:27:01,394 --> 00:27:03,554 Speaker 2: the Avengers inspiring because you're right, they do come together 670 00:27:03,594 --> 00:27:07,594 Speaker 2: with the power of friendship. Even that's wait, none of 671 00:27:07,594 --> 00:27:09,714 Speaker 2: those that's the whole, ving the whole. 672 00:27:09,714 --> 00:27:11,754 Speaker 1: I don't even talk at the Iron Man and. 673 00:27:11,674 --> 00:27:14,394 Speaker 2: Captain America can't do anything without being bros. I've got 674 00:27:14,394 --> 00:27:16,914 Speaker 2: to come together as friends. And that's what Endgame teaches us. 675 00:27:16,954 --> 00:27:19,954 Speaker 2: Because the whole pot of Endgame is Captain America and 676 00:27:20,154 --> 00:27:22,714 Speaker 2: Iron Man going on a quest together to rekindle their 677 00:27:22,714 --> 00:27:25,914 Speaker 2: bro shit and that's what saves the world. Friendship. Oh, 678 00:27:26,154 --> 00:27:28,714 Speaker 2: it is a movie about friendship. That's so nice, and 679 00:27:28,794 --> 00:27:30,274 Speaker 2: that's a good lesson to take into the new year 680 00:27:30,274 --> 00:27:32,714 Speaker 2: and make more time for your friends. Exactly, you might 681 00:27:32,714 --> 00:27:36,034 Speaker 2: need to save the world together, exactly. Friends close, Yeah, 682 00:27:36,954 --> 00:27:37,714 Speaker 2: start for landing. 683 00:27:38,874 --> 00:27:41,274 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Anyway, we'll all right. 684 00:27:41,554 --> 00:27:43,394 Speaker 2: I was not gonna recommend this. I was not going 685 00:27:43,474 --> 00:27:46,033 Speaker 2: to bring it up because I didn't want to look silly. 686 00:27:46,074 --> 00:27:48,034 Speaker 2: But then I thought about what movie where I need 687 00:27:48,074 --> 00:27:50,674 Speaker 2: to like really inspire myself. What movie do I go 688 00:27:50,754 --> 00:27:53,273 Speaker 2: to in my head? And it's this one. And I 689 00:27:53,314 --> 00:27:56,754 Speaker 2: don't usually bring up animated movies. Yeah, but this is 690 00:27:56,794 --> 00:27:59,434 Speaker 2: an important one. Okay, what do you think? It's going 691 00:27:59,474 --> 00:28:01,674 Speaker 2: to be? The Amy polar One inside out? And it 692 00:28:01,714 --> 00:28:04,674 Speaker 2: makes me feel anxious, okay, because it makes me think 693 00:28:04,674 --> 00:28:07,474 Speaker 2: of all the emotions living in my head. It also 694 00:28:07,474 --> 00:28:09,634 Speaker 2: makes me feel like accepting, but I don't. That doesn't 695 00:28:09,634 --> 00:28:11,554 Speaker 2: inspire me. It makes me want to go sit in 696 00:28:11,554 --> 00:28:14,234 Speaker 2: my room have a little think. No, I am talking 697 00:28:14,314 --> 00:28:18,034 Speaker 2: about the two thousand and nine animated classic, The Princess 698 00:28:18,074 --> 00:28:18,513 Speaker 2: and the Frog. 699 00:28:19,234 --> 00:28:24,674 Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is the favorite Princess movie, isn't it? 700 00:28:24,794 --> 00:28:29,474 Speaker 2: Just like ten? It is so good. 701 00:28:29,274 --> 00:28:32,194 Speaker 1: And like the animation is so well done because it 702 00:28:32,234 --> 00:28:35,513 Speaker 1: was like done during a time where animation was being elevated, 703 00:28:35,834 --> 00:28:37,434 Speaker 1: and it felt like they went back to the roots 704 00:28:37,434 --> 00:28:40,554 Speaker 1: with like the drawn animation. Yes, that is exactly true, 705 00:28:40,594 --> 00:28:41,234 Speaker 1: so beautiful. 706 00:28:41,314 --> 00:28:44,314 Speaker 2: They were experimenting with all of those these different animated 707 00:28:44,634 --> 00:28:46,834 Speaker 2: ways of making movies, which were fun and nice. But 708 00:28:46,914 --> 00:28:49,634 Speaker 2: this is the first movie after a long slew of 709 00:28:49,674 --> 00:28:51,674 Speaker 2: like trying different things. The Princess and the Frog was 710 00:28:51,714 --> 00:28:54,434 Speaker 2: the first one they went back to traditional animation. And 711 00:28:54,634 --> 00:28:57,514 Speaker 2: this is like the traditional animation that had really brought 712 00:28:57,554 --> 00:29:00,274 Speaker 2: in the audiences during the Disney renaissance when they like 713 00:29:00,714 --> 00:29:03,274 Speaker 2: all like, you know, a lighted little mermaids, They're like, 714 00:29:03,354 --> 00:29:05,074 Speaker 2: let's go back to that, give the people what they want. 715 00:29:05,354 --> 00:29:08,274 Speaker 2: It was also returned to the Broadway style of music. 716 00:29:08,954 --> 00:29:11,314 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, in Disney movies. And that is why I 717 00:29:11,354 --> 00:29:13,314 Speaker 2: love Disney movies, Like I love the storytelling, but that's 718 00:29:13,354 --> 00:29:14,754 Speaker 2: why I listen to the music over and over again 719 00:29:14,794 --> 00:29:17,234 Speaker 2: because they are a Broadway calibro. So if anyone's on 720 00:29:17,274 --> 00:29:19,674 Speaker 2: a cross. The Princess and the Frog it's about Tiana 721 00:29:19,754 --> 00:29:21,874 Speaker 2: and she is, yes, a young woman living in New 722 00:29:21,994 --> 00:29:25,354 Speaker 2: Orleans and her dream is to open her own restaurant. 723 00:29:25,474 --> 00:29:27,874 Speaker 2: That is her dream. She wants to be a business owner. 724 00:29:27,994 --> 00:29:30,634 Speaker 2: So she makes really good gumbo, yeah really and really 725 00:29:30,634 --> 00:29:33,314 Speaker 2: good begnetes and she's yeah. And so she's working all 726 00:29:33,354 --> 00:29:36,194 Speaker 2: these jobs. She's working as like a waitress, and she's cleaning, 727 00:29:36,194 --> 00:29:38,434 Speaker 2: and she's working around the clock trying to get her dream. 728 00:29:38,834 --> 00:29:42,834 Speaker 2: And then her friend Charlotte daddy, Yeah, I love her. 729 00:29:42,994 --> 00:29:44,834 Speaker 2: There's a place for the Charlottes in the world. She's 730 00:29:44,914 --> 00:29:47,554 Speaker 2: so cute home daughter. She has propped up to be 731 00:29:47,594 --> 00:29:50,994 Speaker 2: the perfect mean girl, and she's not exactly. She is 732 00:29:51,034 --> 00:29:54,354 Speaker 2: the rich, white, beautiful kind of yeah like girl about town. 733 00:29:54,514 --> 00:29:56,874 Speaker 2: But she and Tiana are really good friends. So Tiana 734 00:29:56,914 --> 00:30:00,074 Speaker 2: takes this job making beignets for her party, and there 735 00:30:00,114 --> 00:30:02,634 Speaker 2: she meets Prince Navine. Now, yes, there's a love story 736 00:30:02,674 --> 00:30:03,994 Speaker 2: in The Princess and the Frog, but I think it 737 00:30:04,074 --> 00:30:07,274 Speaker 2: teaches that is such a hoty, so what right, and 738 00:30:07,354 --> 00:30:09,994 Speaker 2: some animated men can just get it. And also because 739 00:30:10,034 --> 00:30:13,954 Speaker 2: he has a redemptive arc hot I won't go into 740 00:30:13,954 --> 00:30:17,034 Speaker 2: the semantics of the backstory of the princess and the frog, 741 00:30:17,074 --> 00:30:18,714 Speaker 2: but you guys can probably work out what happened. So 742 00:30:19,074 --> 00:30:21,794 Speaker 2: Tiana and navine at first like she's trying to build 743 00:30:21,834 --> 00:30:24,194 Speaker 2: her dream. He's selfish prince who thinks of no one 744 00:30:24,234 --> 00:30:26,554 Speaker 2: but himself. Thanks to a little voody magic, they both 745 00:30:26,594 --> 00:30:28,074 Speaker 2: get turned into frogs and they have to go on 746 00:30:28,074 --> 00:30:31,154 Speaker 2: a quest together to become human. That's not so much 747 00:30:31,194 --> 00:30:32,954 Speaker 2: the part that you can take him to the new year. 748 00:30:32,994 --> 00:30:35,274 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess like it's a quest that's important 749 00:30:35,394 --> 00:30:37,154 Speaker 2: Data frog and data frog exactly. 750 00:30:37,234 --> 00:30:38,234 Speaker 1: Give the frogs a chance. 751 00:30:38,314 --> 00:30:41,394 Speaker 2: Give the frogs a chance because also Navin and Tiana 752 00:30:41,434 --> 00:30:43,434 Speaker 2: fall in love while frogs, so they fall in love 753 00:30:43,474 --> 00:30:47,474 Speaker 2: with each other's minds, which is an obstacle, an obstacle. 754 00:30:47,794 --> 00:30:50,354 Speaker 2: So I guess sometimes it's like a mean man can 755 00:30:50,434 --> 00:30:52,754 Speaker 2: change because she does change him. But the bigger part 756 00:30:52,954 --> 00:30:55,194 Speaker 2: is that she follows her dreams all the way through 757 00:30:55,194 --> 00:30:57,914 Speaker 2: and gets her restaurant in the end. And I think 758 00:30:57,914 --> 00:31:00,954 Speaker 2: that that is a very important. Well, let's not bring 759 00:31:00,954 --> 00:31:04,354 Speaker 2: on the women down right, They didn't do Yeah, what. 760 00:31:04,234 --> 00:31:06,754 Speaker 1: Did Demi Lava say? I'm not some little home mormaid. 761 00:31:08,674 --> 00:31:11,274 Speaker 2: I mean again, these are all these are all true things. 762 00:31:11,634 --> 00:31:13,194 Speaker 2: So when I went through my Spotify this year, there 763 00:31:13,194 --> 00:31:15,834 Speaker 2: were many Disney songs in there my Spotify rap and 764 00:31:15,874 --> 00:31:17,474 Speaker 2: there was one song that was at the top of 765 00:31:17,474 --> 00:31:19,554 Speaker 2: all the Disney songs because that is the song I 766 00:31:19,594 --> 00:31:21,714 Speaker 2: listened to multiple times a week when I need to 767 00:31:21,754 --> 00:31:24,514 Speaker 2: like really rev myself up to follow my dreams. And 768 00:31:24,554 --> 00:31:25,394 Speaker 2: it's almost there. 769 00:31:25,714 --> 00:31:27,154 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I don't know the song. 770 00:31:27,314 --> 00:31:29,114 Speaker 2: Oh my god, God would listen to it after this? 771 00:31:29,234 --> 00:31:30,874 Speaker 2: I cannot do adjust it can I can't. But it's 772 00:31:30,874 --> 00:31:33,234 Speaker 2: like you're almost there. I mean like the thing of 773 00:31:33,274 --> 00:31:35,274 Speaker 2: the song is like you're almost there. It's like keep going, 774 00:31:35,354 --> 00:31:37,634 Speaker 2: get it done, keep going, like you're so close to 775 00:31:37,714 --> 00:31:39,794 Speaker 2: your dream. So out of all the Disney kind of 776 00:31:39,834 --> 00:31:42,194 Speaker 2: like motivational songs, it's kind of the best because it's 777 00:31:42,274 --> 00:31:44,914 Speaker 2: like if you cross the line, you'll be there in time, 778 00:31:44,994 --> 00:31:47,234 Speaker 2: like you're almost there, like you know that kind of vibe. 779 00:31:47,554 --> 00:31:49,514 Speaker 2: And I think the story behind the woman who sings 780 00:31:49,554 --> 00:31:52,714 Speaker 2: it too, because Princess Tiana is voiced by Anna Carnoni Rose, 781 00:31:52,754 --> 00:31:55,714 Speaker 2: who is an incredible Broadway performer. She was also in 782 00:31:55,834 --> 00:31:58,834 Speaker 2: dream Girls and She's a really good example of following 783 00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:01,034 Speaker 2: your dreams too, because she was never supposed to be Tiana. 784 00:32:01,074 --> 00:32:03,634 Speaker 2: It was supposed to be Beyonce. The casting director came 785 00:32:03,634 --> 00:32:05,834 Speaker 2: out and said, so they said to be I don't 786 00:32:05,874 --> 00:32:07,754 Speaker 2: mean to I don't mean to cast a spurs on Beyonce. 787 00:32:08,114 --> 00:32:10,914 Speaker 2: But Beyonce was offered the role of Tiana in Princess 788 00:32:10,914 --> 00:32:13,194 Speaker 2: and the Frog if she auditioned, because the rule was 789 00:32:13,234 --> 00:32:16,074 Speaker 2: everyone had to audition, and she said, no, I am Beyonce, 790 00:32:16,474 --> 00:32:19,194 Speaker 2: and this is a story where where two truths can 791 00:32:19,274 --> 00:32:22,194 Speaker 2: exist together. She had to audition and she is Beyonce, 792 00:32:22,514 --> 00:32:25,074 Speaker 2: and those two things didn't judge. All these other women 793 00:32:25,114 --> 00:32:27,714 Speaker 2: came in to audition, Tyra Banks and all these like 794 00:32:27,794 --> 00:32:31,354 Speaker 2: different people came in and like Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keyes 795 00:32:31,394 --> 00:32:34,274 Speaker 2: auditioned three times and again all those women are incredible. 796 00:32:34,314 --> 00:32:36,754 Speaker 2: But Anna Canoni Rose, she came in. She was a 797 00:32:36,834 --> 00:32:38,314 Speaker 2: lesson one star out of all of them, even though 798 00:32:38,354 --> 00:32:40,114 Speaker 2: she's like a Broadway star and she's been in movies 799 00:32:40,154 --> 00:32:42,074 Speaker 2: and stuff. And she came in and just auditioned and 800 00:32:42,114 --> 00:32:44,234 Speaker 2: auditioned and auditioned, and she nailed it and she got 801 00:32:44,274 --> 00:32:47,514 Speaker 2: the roles amazing and she became like she's now like 802 00:32:47,554 --> 00:32:50,274 Speaker 2: an official Disney princess and all these things. And so 803 00:32:50,354 --> 00:32:52,234 Speaker 2: sometimes when I listened to that song, I think about 804 00:32:52,274 --> 00:32:54,794 Speaker 2: her because she wasn't the most famous person in that room. 805 00:32:54,874 --> 00:32:56,834 Speaker 2: She was the most successful and she came in like 806 00:32:57,034 --> 00:32:59,474 Speaker 2: way behind the starting line to everyone else. And she's 807 00:32:59,514 --> 00:33:01,474 Speaker 2: still got the part because she worked the hardest and 808 00:33:01,554 --> 00:33:03,394 Speaker 2: she was the best. And I just think that is 809 00:33:03,394 --> 00:33:05,914 Speaker 2: the energy that we should all take into twenty twenty six. 810 00:33:06,394 --> 00:33:07,754 Speaker 2: And that's why don't give up. 811 00:33:07,674 --> 00:33:08,234 Speaker 1: Your day job. 812 00:33:08,314 --> 00:33:08,594 Speaker 2: Girls. 813 00:33:09,394 --> 00:33:10,794 Speaker 1: Even if you meet a prince. 814 00:33:10,714 --> 00:33:12,994 Speaker 2: Even if they say we'd actually rather have Beyonce, you 815 00:33:13,034 --> 00:33:16,114 Speaker 2: can still get the job. You can still get that job. Takeaway. 816 00:33:16,154 --> 00:33:16,834 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. 817 00:33:16,874 --> 00:33:18,354 Speaker 2: So the Princess and the Frog great. 818 00:33:18,554 --> 00:33:21,274 Speaker 1: So intimidating, right, Oh my god, you go girl. 819 00:33:21,554 --> 00:33:24,434 Speaker 2: Yeah.
