WEBVTT - THIS! is Disclosure Day 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:05.920 The day is June eighteenth, Thursday, twenty twenty six. 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:13.000 This it is Disclosure Day. It was so this, you know, 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.599 it's disclosed. I really liked Disclosure Day, but it was 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.200 such a weird adaptation because they didn't talk about trans 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:20.880 people at all. 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.520 Well, okay, at the end when the alien comes out 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.360 and then she pulls up her skin and it's candid. 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.920 Oh, so that was supposed to be like that was 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.560 kind of like a metaphor. It went a little over 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:33.000 my head. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.000 She was wearing a lot of makeup. She's got some 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:36.800 new work done. I don't know if you recognized her. 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.440 I did think her head looked kind of big, but 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.720 the rest of her was skinny. She's clearly on ozembic 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.720 skinny rose. 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.400 My favorite part of Disclosure Day is when they. 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.559 Said this is Disclosure Day. 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:50.559 It's disclosure Day. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.560 My favorite part of Disclosure. 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:53.320 Day never to start. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.920 My favorite part of Disclosure Day was when the Cardinal 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:01.080 Cardinal the Casey Musgrave song, when the Cardinal flew into 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.160 the room and Emily Blunt hit the ton k and 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:12.920 hereditary boom new I'm right right now, I'm I can 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:17.200 I'm mewing, and I can also read all your thoughts 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.440 and I know that your transsexual. Rose. 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:22.440 What am I thinking right now? 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.720 You're thinking it's actually kind of easy that you want 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:35.480 to suck off Josh O'Connor. No, that was so close though, 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.800 I was you were thinking people should see stop that train. 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.920 Oh my god, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Okay, a 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.679 little preview of what we're about to talk about in 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.480 this episode. But before we do, Yes, we did miss 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:56.120 our episode drop last week due to unforeseen tragedy circumstances, 0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:03.920 unforeseeable circumstances. Will chat briefly about it because Rose wants to, 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.280 and then you know, we'll carry on with the rest 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:11.400 of the episode. Rose, what we were down bad last week? 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:19.720 Yeah? So my grandma passed away last Monday. She had 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.880 been in the hospital for a little bit and passed 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:28.120 away very suddenly last Monday. It's weird to talk about 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.720 because you know, when I tell when I have it's 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.119 only been a little over a week, and when I've 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.440 told people, oh, yeah, my grandma just passed away, I 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:42.520 think people don't really know how serious it is because 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.320 grandmothers are very different figures in a lot of people's lives. 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.359 I think a lot of my friends, grandmothers are these 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.560 sort of like remote figures who are mostly you know, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.480 features in their childhood and like they have a lot 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:04.720 of love for them. But my grandma was a really 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.720 huge part of my life for which I will forever 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.960 be grateful. You know, she was really young when I 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.160 was born. She was only forty nine when I was born. 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.519 I had really young, kind of vital grandparents my whole life, 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.959 and it's only in the past couple of years that 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.760 you know, she really kind of felt like the grandmother 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:32.600 that everyone expects you to be talking about. And I 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.400 am having a really tough time. I'm saying that now 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:41.880 because Friend already knows it, and I would like our 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.680 listeners to know because I care about all of you, 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.240 and I know some of you care about us, and 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:54.360 also because I want I want the world to know 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.840 my grandma. She was really She was a really amazing woman. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.640 I also think anyone who has read my novel Best 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.840 Woman knows how important family is to me. In a 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:13.920 very complicated way, my grandma was, you know, inspired one 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.880 of the characters in Best Woman. I thanked her in 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:25.920 the acknowledgments. My grandma just loved me and her children 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:31.040 and all her grandchildren a lot. She was really amazing. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.680 When I came out as trans, I actually cut. I 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.440 gave the eulogy at her funeral, and I had a 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.880 little bit of it where I spoke about her reaction 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.800 to my transition, and I didn't end up actually saying 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.719 it at the funeral, just because it felt like my 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.760 place was more to be the representative of all of 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:59.400 her grandchildren. So I just want to say here. You know, 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.560 when I told my grandma was trans ten over ten 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.279 years ago, she told me she had known since I 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.200 was a child, and even though she you know, in 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.599 the first couple of years, sometimes got a name, names 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.320 or pronouns wrong, like I always knew that it was 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.719 just it was a mistake. It was never ill intentioned, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.479 and after a certain point it stopped happening. And my 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.039 grandma was incredibly supportive of me. When I did my 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.840 book tour and I did a stop in my hometown 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.400 last year, she was sitting in the front row. She 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:40.760 was my biggest cheerleader. She was also really glamorous and fabulous. 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.119 I was going to say she was a style. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.960 She was a style of icon. I think she and 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.320 I look a lot of like my sister, my. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:48.880 Sisters, my mom exactly. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.760 This looks so much like her. I'm even getting my 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.680 hair colored this week to like look a little more 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.440 like her, just because I really want to keep her alive. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.039 And you know, the thing is, I have been so 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.359 worried about forgetting things about her, and I think what 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.839 I've realized and what I kind of said in my 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.440 eulogy and have really been saying to my siblings and 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.600 cousins and my mom, who is really going through it 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.400 having lost her mom, is that I could never forget 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:26.080 anything about my grandma because there's all these, you know, 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:31.960 indelible parts of me that come directly from her. She 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.919 was this unwavering pillar of support in our family. She 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:43.760 was extremely passionate and creative. She was a really amazing woman. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.080 Her name was Harriet Weisman. She was my grandma for 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.720 almost thirty eight years, and that was not long enough. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:55.720 And I will miss her every day. So thank you 0:06:55.839 --> 0:07:00.480 all for I don't know, listening to that waiting around, 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.080 being around. Thank you for uh dealing with our absence 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.000 last week. And I guess that, I guess dealing with me. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.119 I might be a little less funny than usual. I'm 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.720 I'm still kind of adjusting to this new reality. Grief 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:22.120 is really weird. Uh, this is the closest death to 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.880 me I've ever experienced in my life. So it's going 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:30.280 to be an adjustment period. But doing this show, I 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.120 think will hopefully be healing and at least talking about 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.480 stupid stuff like Disclosure Day. We'll keep my mind off 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:38.360 things for an hour. 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.200 Well, I was just about to say, baby, I organized 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.160 a Disclosure Day viewing with a one Rose DOMI and 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.800 a group of our friends last night to distract you. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.080 And boy were we distracted, you. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.960 Know, you know, like the original The original plan was 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.960 we were going to see Stop That Train again. And 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.679 then I realized, like, oh, I actually, like I can't 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.760 watch a movie that I've already seen and I need 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:06.080 to be totally swept up in something and enthralled. And honey, 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:11.360 I was enthralled during Disclosure Day. It was, let me say, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.200 a dumb movie. But that is a feature and not 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:15.640 a bug in my opinion. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.720 Yes, oh yeah, it was very very stupid if you 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.480 were Okay, So if you're not aware of this film 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:25.240 Disclosure Today. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.760 It is a film by Steven Spielberg and it is 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.000 very kind of classic Spielberg. You know, he loves an 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:38.360 alien movie. He loves like psychic phenomena, and this this 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.200 was really giving. I think out of all of his films, 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.400 the one it felt felt the most similar to was 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.839 Artificial Intelligence. But you know, the logline is that Josh 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:57.480 O'Connor is playing this whistleblower from a private company that 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:04.360 has been that has been suppressing information about aliens UH 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:11.800 and their contact with humanity for decades he uh. Simultaneously, 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.560 Emily Blunt is a news anchor who is having these 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.760 weird experiences and which mostly involve mewing directly into the 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:25.040 camera and at mewing at various ci animals. And they 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:29.400 are trying to share the truth about aliens with the world, 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.839 and Evil Colin Firth is trying. 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:37.440 To stop them, right, Evil Colin Firth actually kind of 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:42.520 slays Coleman Domingo plays the guy on the phone, the 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.920 guy in the laptop kind of trope. He's the guy 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.160 that is like remotely kind of managing the situation. And 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.760 I will say they found in a secret agent film. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:55.240 Oh yeah, it was kind of like involving like an 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.680 FBI agent usually has like a guy on the yes, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.480 you know, a guy that's the laptop, a guy in 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.960 the control center that was Coleman. And I think you're 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.920 making a really good point and something that I actually 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.280 liked about the film, but I think might be what's 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.120 not going over so well with audiences is this is 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:15.000 not so much like a huge explosiony action movie. It 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:20.960 kind of plays more like a spy thriller in a way, because, like, 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:26.320 weirdly enough, the objective of these people is that they 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.559 have to get to a local news station in Kansas 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.040 City so that they can play all of this alien 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.559 footage live on TV, because that's the only way they 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.240 can prove to the world the aliens are real. A 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.040 ridiculous premise for a film in twenty twenty six, as 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:49.040 if anyone would not see footage of, you know, proving 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.960 literally craving the aliens were real and wouldn't either scroll 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:57.319 past it think it was a deep fake, or be like, okay, whatever, 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.240 who got kicked off All Stars last week? 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.880 You know it's that's. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.480 Literally the tea, That's okay. So, like, if we're starting 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:10.160 with the thing that to me, the fatal flaw of 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:15.320 the film is that all all of the suspended tension 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.000 or like the overhalling. The majority of the stakes of 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:25.120 the film rely on this like truth of the movie 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.160 that I don't think is true to real life, which 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:33.320 is that if humans were shown substantiated and unequivocal evidence 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:38.880 that aliens exist, everyone would stop what they're doing and be. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.520 Moved, and like everyone would like no one would can 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:51.040 even even position it against some vague geopolitical conflict, Like 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.080 at some point in the movie, they're like talking about 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.040 how their World War three is about to start. People 0:11:56.080 --> 0:12:00.120 are in gas stations, like stocking up on you know, 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.080 bottled water and toilet paper, and so I guess the 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.800 movie is trying to pause it like this information would 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:12.240 be so literally earth shaking that that wars would end 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.920 because we would realize that the real important thing was aliens. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.280 And I have to tell you, as someone who has 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:22.079 been living on Earth these past couple of years, that 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:27.040 has we have at various points gotten like proof about 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.559 aliens and weird shit, and no one gives a fuck. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.559 Yeah, Spielberg literally like he loves aliens so much, and 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.000 you can tell he cares a lot about it because 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.720 he's supplanting like his kind of like kind of like 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:45.640 reverence for extraterrestrial life and the possibility of it, and 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:50.679 and kind of he's like like laying it over what 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.960 he he's kind of like just placing it onto the 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.840 general population. That's just not how the general population feels. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.880 I don't know if the Disclosure Day is like literally 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.120 working with the Pentagon right now now, but like the 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.559 last I think three to five days, like the Pentagon 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.560 has released more videos and images of like UFO sightings. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.360 I think it's like the third batch of like documents 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.320 images and no one gives up. No one fucking cares. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.240 Pop crave is literally tweeted. 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:18.679 I saw it the other day. 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.800 A photo of Menda's back, Yes, like literally a photo 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.880 Shawn Menda's back will like get more retweets than like 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:31.280 this UFO, like this literal Pentagon UFO sighting like no 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.920 one fucking I do. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.800 Think because Steven Spielberg loves to go heavy on a theme, 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.520 and this movie is chalk full of themes. It's almost 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.679 more themes than story. Like none of the characters are 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.640 really real, none of them have like any sense their 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:51.480 interiority and and let me and they're like their vehicles. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.520 I really enjoyed the movie. I give it four stars 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.200 on Letterbox. It was so really enjoy and I was 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.400 I did not think about a single thing while we 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.520 were watching it. But I think what Spielberg is trying 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.439 to say, and like he has the characters more or 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.400 less say it in a couple different ways, is that 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.839 like truth is the most important thing in the world. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.920 And I actually think this movie is more a commentary 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.680 on like the the age of you know, misinformation and 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:23.720 fake news than like literally about aliens. And I also 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.760 think it's about empathy. There's there's kind of a really 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:31.800 poignant moment, like one of the better written things, one 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.400 of the better written kind of monologues in the film, 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:43.520 where one of the characters talks about how truth is important, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:51.200 like that everyone has a right to know everything and 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.120 and oh no, no, sorry, I was talking about empathy. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:53.200 No. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.000 What they were saying is that that that the specific 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.760 aliens in this film, which I did like there like 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:03.840 very classic alien They look like what everything is like 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.040 you know, the the nothing like the first the first 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.760 clip we see of the aliens is from the Roswell Crash. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.560 So basically where this movie is saying, like in the 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.520 world of this movie, like every alien sighting has been real. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.520 But and then it talks about Nixon can see aliens, 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.080 which is but the point I liked that they made 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.440 was that the aliens because Emily Blunt is gifted this, 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:28.720 you know, like telepathic ability, and Coleman Domingo delivers this 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.240 speech which he says, like to the aliens, they see 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.760 us having evolved past empathy when they actually view empathy 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.960 as the the ultimate evolutionary peak. And that I thought 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.520 was very beautiful and is is such is such a 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:50.040 Spielberg idea, like he's so ooey gooey and cheesy. And 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.280 there were moments in the film that that really like 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.720 sung to me like that, like there was even there's 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.560 a there's a part where Emily Blunt finally links up 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.560 with Coleman Domingo's character, and the way her power works 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.880 is that when she looks at someone, she knows everything 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.360 about them, and he asks her why she won't look 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.960 at him, and she says, because you know everything. And 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.000 when I look at you all know everything and I 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.720 don't want to know everything. And I thought that was 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:20.600 such good writing. And then there like there are moments 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.960 like that, and then there are really dumb, stupid moments 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.200 and like bad piece of dialogue and all this shit 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.760 about people actually caring about aliens that they like no 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.600 one ever would have cared about. So it's dumb. But 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.680 like I again, I think that's a feature. I think 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.640 that's why I liked it. I agree. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.440 I mean, look, I something that I was thinking about 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.320 when I was watching the film. I just couldn't stop 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.800 thinking about, just like us, what it means to what 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.400 a Spielberg movie is, and and I forgot how it 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.040 feels to watch one. The last Spielberg movie I watch 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.840 was Westside Story, which I actually really loved. But before that, 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.000 it had been like ten years, maybe more, since I'd 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.720 seen a film like probably like Tintin was. What do 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:10.200 you think is your favorite Spielberg Probably Hook? But I 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:14.520 really really love Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.000 I obviously really love Jurassic Park. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.000 I'm a Minority report girl. 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.119 I love No. 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.879 I've never seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.199 would really like to. I know a lot of the 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.280 discussion about this movie is like people being like Steven 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.760 Spielberg has already made a better version of this movie, 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.119 and it is Close Encounters of the Third Kind. So 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.040 I would like to revisit it. I don't know. I 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.280 think this film has caused a lot of hand ringing 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.120 online by people who have because I think people are 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.359 seeing that the box office numbers are somewhat disappointing and 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:54.520 they're like, it's crazy that even Steven Spielberg can open 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.960 a movie and like he's lost the sauce. I don't 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.920 necessarily think he's lost the sauce. I actually think this movie, 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.520 had it come out in like ninety four, would be 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:09.280 a classic. But we this movie has not. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.359 We're desensitized to the things that Spielberg would like us 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:13.520 to not be disensitized. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.800 Yes, and the world has moved on, but he hasn't. 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.280 And this movie does feel very dated. 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.800 It does, but that but here's the okay, so here 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.159 to to my back to the point of like what 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.639 makes us Spielberg film? This is part of like what 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.679 I was thinking about. I kept watching the film and 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.879 having like a kind of immediate or gut reaction to 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.840 certain things and be like, oh, that's so cheesy. Oh 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:39.640 that's so corny. Oh like we've this is like so uninventive, 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.280 Like we it's like all these different kind of like 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.080 tropes about aliens, images of. 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.160 Tropes about characters like Colemon Domingo is a textbook magical 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.440 Negro character in this film. 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.080 Kind of yeah, like things like that. It's like very 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:58.199 like not, it's very just like yeah, and then and 0:18:58.240 --> 0:18:59.840 then and then I was kind of like, well, maybe 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:03.119 that makes you feel a little nostalgic for you know, 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:07.320 the peak of Spielberg's career. Actually, I mean he doesn't 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.720 really have a peak, but like maybe like no he died, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.520 I would like when he was making Any seventy and 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.320 the other alien movies, and like, yeah, you know what 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.720 I mean, like he I wouldn't say. I don't think 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.800 peak is the right term. I think it's kind of like, ye. 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.199 The golden age of Spielberg, Yes, when I mean he 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.560 kind of invented the idea of a summer blockbuster. He 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.560 directed Jaws, which kind of was the first summer blockbuster, 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:36.800 and he has kept creating that. I just think as 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.280 a culture, we've kind of moved beyond those movies. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:46.000 And like certain tricks he uses cinematically for suspended attention, 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:50.760 certain shots that zoom in on people's faces or that 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.720 have a certain kind of genoesequa of like like yeah, 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.720 just like him as a master's suspend attention. They're all 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.640 things that all the their filmmaker's reference now and repeat, 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.760 and so now when he does it, it's like it feels. 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.640 It feels tired dated when he was the one who 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:08.560 invented it, but it's not. 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.520 He invented it. He invented it, and so like, I 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.240 don't know, there there was something I think it's funny, 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:17.320 we we. I really was comforted by this film. I 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.000 don't know if I'm gonna watch it again, no, but 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:21.400 I was so comforted. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.520 I was. There were some really thrilling sequences. There's a 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.199 there's a there's a chequence, yeah on with a with 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:34.600 a train stop that train promo that was really amazing. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.119 I don't think. I actually think the biggest problem with 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:41.280 this film is the writing. The film was written by 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:45.480 David Cope, who looking at his credits, he's written a 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.919 lot of really shitty movies. It's a lot of like 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:54.359 bad sequels and prequels and like he wrote Jurassic World, 0:20:54.440 --> 0:21:00.960 Rebirth and oh like Secret Window, that like weird depth movie. 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.080 He just like does not have very good credits. So 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.160 I'm not which one was Rebirth. Rebirth was the most 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:11.040 recent one with Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey and his 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:12.679 slutty little glasses. 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:15.760 Actually, I can't remember if I've seen the Julianne Moore 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:16.600 Jurassic Parks. 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:18.600 It is the third one. 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.800 I think I need to see it. 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.520 Well, have you disclosed? 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:24.800 Yes? 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.440 Today it's Disclosure Day, and you know what, one day 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:32.840 we will get an accurate adaptation of the documentary Disclosure 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.720 about trans People Jen Richards. 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:40.199 Yes, yeah, girl in the car Home, Laurel and I 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.639 could not stop saying it. We were like, this is 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.280 Disclosure Day, Like it's so. 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.840 Oh my God. Sitting next to Laurel during that movie 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.320 was such a game from God because she really kept 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.080 me entertained the whole time. It was so weird how 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.880 we were cackling through the whole film and the rest 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:02.439 of the audience was dead silent. The first time Emily 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:07.679 Blunt mewed, we were screaming, and the theater was and 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.440 the theater around us was like a ghost town. 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:17.840 We did have most of the time, uh laughter domino effects. 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:19.520 We would laugh first and then the rest of the 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.120 theater would laugh because we were laughing as particularly, there 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.000 was one moment I camera what it was. It was 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:30.520 probably just another crazy shot of Emily Blunt with perfect makeup, 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.920 perfect lash lashes, face in the shape of. 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.280 An incredibly distracting Veneers. 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:41.879 Mewing the housetown mutes, mewing the house down mutes yes, 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:46.639 and Laurel just goes like that and then the whole 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:50.479 theater erups in laughter. It was so it was so 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:52.720 weird to not be on the same vibe. 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.480 But you know what, I just leaned into it. I 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.600 was the person who led the applause when they said 0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.920 in the film, this is disclosed. 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:01.080 It's disclosure Day. 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.040 I mean that was worth the price of the ticket, honey, 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.200 although I didn't pay for the ticket.
