Speaker 1: Toss Popcorn is a production of iheartradiooo oo. Hello, I'm
Speaker 1: Leanna Holston and I'm Sienna Jacob.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Tossed Popcorn, the podcast where two idiots watched
Speaker 2: every film on the AFI's one hundred Greatest American Movies
Speaker 2: of All Time, the Very Slightly Less Racist tenth Anniversary Edition,
Speaker 2: and are now shimmying our way down a list of
Speaker 2: films directed by women.
Speaker 1: Oh ooh. This podcast is a safe gym for people
Speaker 1: who don't know anything about movies. Today we're watching stick It.
Speaker 2: If you like falling, then gymnastics peace or for you
Speaker 2: you get to fall on your face, your ass, your back.
Speaker 1: And your pride.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Nothing else to say about that one. I don't know
Speaker 1: who put it on here. It's directed by a woman.
Speaker 2: That would have been me, Thank you?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I guess if it wasn't me, it was
Speaker 1: probably you. Warning there will be spoilers about this Limber
Speaker 1: two thousand's film.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, Ciena, may I please play you my prediction?
Speaker 2: I would like for the film stick It?
Speaker 1: Your prediction?
Speaker 2: Okay, Hi, Sienna, it's Leanna. I am about to watch
Speaker 2: stick It, the two thousand and seven hit film. I
Speaker 2: don't even know if that's what year it's from. But
Speaker 2: it's got two seven energy. I've seen this from me
Speaker 2: so many times because every time it was on TV
Speaker 2: and I was sitting on the couch in my parents' house,
Speaker 2: I would watch it. Ah, with a full bag of
Speaker 2: hint of lime chips. I love this. I predict a
Speaker 2: bad ass energy. And if you're gonna eat Matt, you
Speaker 2: eat Matt hard and anything to get out of this
Speaker 2: tar that's leotard without the leo. In case you were wondering,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have fun and good for me.
Speaker 1: Love you, okay, love this. First of all, I had
Speaker 1: no idea you were into the hint of lime chips
Speaker 1: for that long in your life.
Speaker 2: Oh. Yes, it's most of what I've eaten. I think
Speaker 2: my body is like arguably two percent tostitos hint of lime.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got a hint of lime about me?
Speaker 1: A brand ambassador and uh well that's so exciting. So
Speaker 1: you're you've seen it many times? Yeah, great quotes, great quoting.
Speaker 2: Mm hm, thank you well, Leanna. My prediction forced.
Speaker 3: Yes, Hi, Leanna, this is Ciena. I'm about watch stick it.
Speaker 3: I can only assume this is a cheerleading movie question mark,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, is it in my mind?
Speaker 1: That means it's from the two thousands, But is it
Speaker 1: more recent?
Speaker 2: Question mark? I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 1: I Love you goodbye. Okay. So I assumed it was
Speaker 1: part of this this world of cheerleading and athlete movies,
Speaker 1: but I'd never seen one before.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. I
Speaker 2: told a friend that I was watching it, and she said, oh,
Speaker 2: is it like Bring It On? And I was like,
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I've never seen Bring It On?
Speaker 2: And she was like, me, neither. And then it turned
Speaker 2: out it's it's from the same people who made Bring
Speaker 2: It On.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. This seems like it's the first of
Speaker 1: the world of that I've heard of that I remember
Speaker 1: being I think you said these were on TV a lot.
Speaker 1: I remember them being on TV a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: Remember ever watching them. Well, Theanna before we get into
Speaker 1: the movie, Hey.
Speaker 2: Girl, Hey girl, oh girl, I've had such an afternoon.
Speaker 1: Oh tell me about it.
Speaker 2: I had to mail another laptop. What for my day
Speaker 2: job today? Do you have to mail laptops office? This
Speaker 2: has now happened three times. I go to the post office.
Speaker 2: I say, hello, I need to mail a laptop. They
Speaker 2: say what. I say, a laptop please to a different
Speaker 2: country and they say, oh my god. I say is
Speaker 2: it allowed and they say I have to look it up.
Speaker 2: Yes it is okay. Well, I feel like we could
Speaker 2: have relaxed our energy up top.
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Why do you have to send these laptops? Does it
Speaker 1: have now?
Speaker 2: No, we have employees in other countries and it is
Speaker 2: more cost effective to ship them laptops that we have
Speaker 2: at our office that are not being used then to
Speaker 2: get new laptops.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And today was no different. Today. I went I said hello,
Speaker 2: I need to ship a laptop to India and they
Speaker 2: said what I said, listen And then they said, oh,
Speaker 2: you're going to need a box and I said, well yeah,
Speaker 2: And the frazzled man ran around the post office looking
Speaker 2: for specifically a box. He was like, I just saw it.
Speaker 2: Where was it?
Speaker 1: I just saw a box.
Speaker 2: I just saw.
Speaker 1: Over there.
Speaker 2: And he came back and then he gave me a
Speaker 2: roll of bubble wrap. He was like, you're going to
Speaker 2: have to buy this. I said, okay, it's not my AMEX,
Speaker 2: not my problem. And then he had to ask a
Speaker 2: colleague of his Can I can this laptop? Can you
Speaker 2: ship laptops to India? And the colleague was like, oh,
Speaker 2: you have to check with each country. And I had
Speaker 2: googled it yesterday and India was like, yeah, sure, send
Speaker 2: a laptop over, we don't care. But he sat down
Speaker 2: at his post office desk and looked it up for
Speaker 2: like ten seconds and said, oh, you cannot ship this what?
Speaker 2: And I said okay? So I left the post office
Speaker 2: with a free box slang. I went to the library
Speaker 2: to drop off and then pick up a book. I
Speaker 2: got a lot of emails from our property manager about
Speaker 2: our lease and felt really overwhelmed. And then I went
Speaker 2: and I bought myself a small and overpriced cake.
Speaker 1: Love it?
Speaker 2: Okay, So the and that was my afternoon. So I
Speaker 2: came home with more many more items than I thought
Speaker 2: I was going to because I left my home. I
Speaker 2: left my home with a laptop and a book. I
Speaker 2: returned home with a laptop in a box, a different book,
Speaker 2: and a box with a cake in it. I was
Speaker 2: very sweaty and upset, and there were so many small
Speaker 2: bugs on me. What well, I was really sweaty and
Speaker 2: it's like a really hot day and I walked through
Speaker 2: a lot. I got lost. I get lost in my
Speaker 2: own neighborhood all the time. I don't know where I am,
Speaker 2: and I always end up in this rock garden. Hum,
Speaker 2: there's this long rock garden in my neighborhood, and it's
Speaker 2: somehow my feet. I think my feet are taking me
Speaker 2: to a road, and I end up in a rock garden.
Speaker 1: So it's not even that you're trying to walk through
Speaker 1: it as a shortcut. You're trying to get home, and
Speaker 1: then you go, oh, no, damn, I'm at the rock gardens.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 1: These are rocks.
Speaker 2: That's my my most recent update. Objectively unsuccessful. But it
Speaker 2: wasn't your venture. Really, you know, it'll it'll just have
Speaker 2: to wait till next week and we'll try again a
Speaker 2: different way, and I don't think it'll work, and who cares.
Speaker 2: Fantastic Here you go, hey.
Speaker 1: Girl, Hey girl. Well I also got law yesterday. Oh
Speaker 1: because I went I said I'm going to go on
Speaker 1: a date with my boyfriend.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: First second, I was like, with who it sounds really what?
Speaker 1: It sounds like, I'm just preparing to openly cheat to
Speaker 1: say I'm.
Speaker 2: Going on a date, bye, sweetie, I'm going on.
Speaker 4: A date.
Speaker 1: Called me back after my date what But we went
Speaker 1: to a mall that's sort of near him, and I
Speaker 1: I guess I've been there once. My phone just did
Speaker 1: a thumbs up, even though I didn't even know I
Speaker 1: even had.
Speaker 2: A thumb on the screen, not even in frame.
Speaker 1: We went to a theater near him that I've been
Speaker 1: to before. Didn't worry me to go to a new theater.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's not new since I've been
Speaker 1: one time, but I don't have I didn't have any
Speaker 1: space in my memory for going to this theater before.
Speaker 1: It just became one of those situations that everything became
Speaker 1: one hundred times more stressful than it needed to be,
Speaker 1: don't I don't mind. I'm not pressed about getting to
Speaker 1: a movie like right on time because there's trailers. But
Speaker 1: it was just like, okay, I'll turn in here. There
Speaker 1: was a sign that said like theater parking and you
Speaker 1: turn and then as you drive like around a block
Speaker 1: and go into another parking lot, I was like, how
Speaker 1: is this The theater is back there? Why would you
Speaker 1: make me go here? I'm leaving, So the theater is
Speaker 1: exactly so the theater is like as far as possible
Speaker 1: from the parking lot.
Speaker 2: Oh, and then I.
Speaker 1: Didn't know where I was and it said it was
Speaker 1: on another floor, but I couldn't see any other floors.
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's only one floor, because apparently that other
Speaker 1: floor was at the end of this floor. There was
Speaker 1: a set of escalators, but I had to walk all
Speaker 1: the way first. But I was just looking at the map, like,
Speaker 1: how am I supposed to get to level two when
Speaker 1: I can't even see any levels above me right now?
Speaker 2: I'm on the ground floor.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I ended up getting there, and then I saw
Speaker 1: Sinners and I will can you spoil anything about it
Speaker 1: except for that feeling stressed? Well, going into a movie
Speaker 1: like that, Oh, I was just so stressed. Oh god,
Speaker 1: so it was kind of failed.
Speaker 2: Damn, I get that. I think one of one of
Speaker 2: the most scared I've ever been times in my life.
Speaker 2: I really couldn't figure out how to word that sentence,
Speaker 2: but I understood. I don't think there's a way to
Speaker 2: do it better. I think that's it. One of the
Speaker 2: times in which I was the most scared I've ever
Speaker 2: been in my life was in the parking garage of
Speaker 2: the Westfield Century City Mall, trying to get into their
Speaker 2: movie theater from my car, and I kept being in
Speaker 2: different elevators. Have been multiple times, and every time I've
Speaker 2: not managed to find the same elevator as before. I
Speaker 2: also know that there's a part of the parking garage
Speaker 2: that's really close to the movie theater, and I've never
Speaker 2: found it from within my car. Yes, yes, And then
Speaker 2: leaving the movie theater and having to find your car.
Speaker 2: It's impossible to be asked that mall. It's impossible to
Speaker 2: leave that mall. Oh.
Speaker 1: I It's like a stress stream, it really. It was
Speaker 1: so yesterday I was like, I can't do this. I
Speaker 1: almost scream oh. And I ended up calling Kelsey. I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know where I am that. The
Speaker 1: ironic thing is that Kelsey has this like insane sense
Speaker 1: of geography. He's one of those people who can just
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I remember where we parked, and walk
Speaker 1: us all the way there, even if he's never been
Speaker 1: to the place before. Like part of this is that
Speaker 1: he was like, wait, you couldn't find it, but we've
Speaker 1: been before. And I'm like, I don't form a mental
Speaker 1: map of every space I've ever been in. I have
Speaker 1: no memory. I don't I can imagine being in the theater.
Speaker 1: But other than that, I have no I've never seen
Speaker 1: this place in my whole life. And he was like, well,
Speaker 1: up the escalators and I'm like, escalators, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: Escalators? What escalators could you possibly be talking about? But yeah,
Speaker 2: but we've been here before. Can absolutely suck my ass.
Speaker 2: It's a phrase when it comes.
Speaker 1: To that means nothing. On the bright side, I ate
Speaker 1: some delicious chocolate popcorn combo, so that was good. I
Speaker 1: love to mix the candies so that I was really
Speaker 1: like chowned down.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, yeah, you'd have to after a stressful afternoon.
Speaker 1: Well should we talk about the movie?
Speaker 2: Yes, speaking of feeling like you can't do this? Uh huh, Sienna,
Speaker 2: could you please give a synopsis of the movie stick It?
Speaker 1: Yes, I will do that for you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. It's like we're on a It's like I'm
Speaker 2: on a call with representative.
Speaker 1: Representative.
Speaker 2: I can look into that for you.
Speaker 1: Look into that, Okay, stick It. Haley is an athletic
Speaker 1: skater type who has a kerfuffle with the law and
Speaker 1: his sense it and is sentenced to a hardcore gymnastics
Speaker 1: program out of state. Turns out she used to do
Speaker 1: gymnastics but famously quote choked at worlds On. She begrudgingly
Speaker 1: returns to the gymnastics world and ends up shaking things up,
Speaker 1: inspiring her uh, inspiring her teammates, watching her own practice sharpen,
Speaker 1: and pushing back on antiquated judging standards. It is a
Speaker 1: fun athletic romp.
Speaker 2: The end, yay, yay, Oh, I can't wait any longer. Cianna,
Speaker 2: what did you think of this movie?
Speaker 1: This movie was lit lit when it started. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be entering somebody else's world. This is like
Speaker 1: the whole bring it on world, and we'll see. I
Speaker 1: cannot believe the things that these women were doing. It
Speaker 1: was amazing movie.
Speaker 2: So the story was so good.
Speaker 1: They were amazing at raising the stakes in another movie.
Speaker 1: If they kept having championships like this and challenges, I
Speaker 1: would have been would have been like, Okay, let's wrap
Speaker 1: it up. They were doing an amazing job. And it's
Speaker 1: so two thousands, laughably so, but then also very fun.
Speaker 1: There's time to turn around, and they're all such good
Speaker 1: friends and they're supporting each other, and the things that
Speaker 1: these people were doing with their bodies was insane leaps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I loved it. It was I really also made me emotional.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I had a great time.
Speaker 2: Oh oh fuck yeah, okay, great, let's get into our
Speaker 2: phone notes, her phone notes, where we read the notes
Speaker 2: that the other person took on their phone while watching
Speaker 2: the film. Oh my god, I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. Starting off with a name that Nastia.
Speaker 2: How do I say this, Nastia Lucan.
Speaker 1: Okay, Leanna, your first note is Nastia Lucan is literally
Speaker 1: in this now that a famous gymnastics person.
Speaker 2: Yeah. How much of the Olympics do you watch?
Speaker 1: Certainly not enough to know people's names, Okay, but here
Speaker 1: and there, here and there, Like the last Olympics, I
Speaker 1: caught some. I enjoy it quite a bit. But you know,
Speaker 1: I would say it's a recent development that I've even
Speaker 1: been aware they were occurring.
Speaker 2: One of the most ancient events I've never heard of
Speaker 2: that what they start did where?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Because my family, my family was big into watching.
Speaker 1: The Olympics makes so much sense.
Speaker 2: It was like our religion. Every summer, particularly Athens two
Speaker 2: thousand and four, every summer and Beijing two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, great point every four years, every summer.
Speaker 1: Olympics.
Speaker 2: We watched some every summer we'd tune into some Olympics
Speaker 2: because Ben was a swimmer and dad played water polo
Speaker 2: growing up, so they we really were keeping tabs, particularly
Speaker 2: on swimming. It was also the era of Michael Phelps.
Speaker 2: It was an exciting time to be keeping tabs. And
Speaker 2: the Women's Olympic gymnastics team I think two thousand and eight, Yes,
Speaker 2: had nasty A Lucan on it, and she was like
Speaker 2: famously excellent at Bars Bars, the uneven Bars Bars.
Speaker 1: Who was in this or who was she?
Speaker 2: Was?
Speaker 1: She one of the girls.
Speaker 2: She played herself. Oh, she plays Nastya Lukis and she
Speaker 2: does and everyone goes, oh, my gosh, I love this
Speaker 2: movie so much. Okay, Siana, your first note is what
Speaker 2: is she doing here?
Speaker 1: What is she doing here? Mm hmmm. I just marked
Speaker 1: that because we entered it was like walking through a
Speaker 1: vortex of walking through the space time continuum and entering
Speaker 1: the two thousands. It was the music, the style, the comedy, phones,
Speaker 1: the cell phones, the comedy being like diva girls, mean girls,
Speaker 1: the girl is mean and spoiled, is so two thousands?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, swoopy hair on a boy, the ponytails.
Speaker 1: The ponytails in this movie were oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a little thief of hair in the front
Speaker 2: of a ponytail.
Speaker 1: They looked, they looked amazing.
Speaker 2: I yeah, elaborate ponies. M I'm just huh. I'm just
Speaker 2: laughing because I saw your later note, which is in
Speaker 2: my mind, I'm strong like this, Leona, I get it.
Speaker 1: Like watching the things they were doing. Hayley, who is.
Speaker 2: That busy paragram? I love her so much?
Speaker 1: Amazing, wow, Wow, she was really doing these stunts right,
Speaker 1: like they were all stunt women and the actresses, at.
Speaker 2: Least I know she and the actor who plays Joanne
Speaker 2: were both actors who got hired for the roles and
Speaker 2: then they trained, like did gymnastics training for like two
Speaker 2: months or something before the film, So they aren't doing
Speaker 2: the actual like flips and routines too much. I think
Speaker 2: maybe maybe six I don't know. I think the other
Speaker 2: characters are gymnasts.
Speaker 1: They did a really really good job of faking it,
Speaker 1: to be honest.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: But she was still doing flips and stuff. That's insane.
Speaker 1: That's just insane. I really like she does that handstand.
Speaker 2: Oh I know.
Speaker 1: Who Anyway, I in my mind, I really am like,
Speaker 1: I feel like an athletic person. I feel like I'm strong.
Speaker 1: I really value that, but I don't. I'm not like,
Speaker 1: what's funny is I worked out maybe right before watching this.
Speaker 2: So I kind of had a pump on. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: hell yeah.
Speaker 1: And I was feeling amazing the whole time. And then
Speaker 1: today I did a bunch of apps. So today my
Speaker 1: abs or so and I'm like, yeah, I'm so strong,
Speaker 1: But am I trying lifting anything? I wouldn't be able to.
Speaker 1: I know that I've tried it.
Speaker 2: They make it all look so easy.
Speaker 1: They make it look so easy. I was watching, like,
Speaker 1: what if I could do any of this with my body? Now,
Speaker 1: in my mind, you can do all of this.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you for thinking that. It was quickly discovered
Speaker 2: at age six that I was way too big for gymnastics.
Speaker 2: We never could have made it in that world. I
Speaker 2: was so big. I was just the tallest. I stood
Speaker 2: out like like a tree in a field of grass
Speaker 2: is what I looked like. I also remember one of
Speaker 2: my first social flops happened at gymnastics class where I
Speaker 2: was saying something and in a combination of my anxiety
Speaker 2: and perhaps accurate perception, the tie girl I was talking
Speaker 2: to got visibly bored, and I said, Oh, you don't
Speaker 2: have to listen to me if you don't want to.
Speaker 2: Oh how old were you six?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. That was the beginning of.
Speaker 2: Really quite something.
Speaker 1: Lifelong self deprecation to come.
Speaker 2: I think so. But now I do stand up where
Speaker 2: they have to listen to me even if they don't
Speaker 2: want to. In a lot of ways, stand up comedy
Speaker 2: is the opposite of gymnastics.
Speaker 1: Tell me more.
Speaker 3: You don't have to.
Speaker 1: Actually, there's you know what's crazy, I don't have to.
Speaker 1: There's a Seinfeld episode about that. Oh my god, Oh no, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's literally it's stupid. It's like it's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: thigh is original. The perfect woman is a gymnast sort of,
Speaker 1: but then she's like, from my country, the perfect man
Speaker 1: is the comedian or something. Yeah. Ew, that's insane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a really bad episode.
Speaker 2: Did you just get sentenced to one month's of hard
Speaker 2: time at a gymnastics academy. You're gonna want to start
Speaker 2: collecting ice for the ice math. We'll be right back, Sienna.
Speaker 2: You noted, okay, that was comedy.
Speaker 1: Okay. I first noted that this was going to be
Speaker 1: comedic when she flops herself when she's like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do the routine and she.
Speaker 2: Flops her arms all around. Yes, I was like, I
Speaker 2: noted physical comedy icons, even paragrams.
Speaker 1: I really liked her when it started. I was like,
Speaker 1: this person is too beautiful to be funny on this screen.
Speaker 1: There were times really tried to have her like I
Speaker 1: literally went back and rewatched. They tried to have her
Speaker 1: make like, uh, goofy ugly faces to stick it to sticket,
Speaker 1: to stick it to her coach. But her face can't
Speaker 1: really warp in that way because she's just so beautiful,
Speaker 1: Like her face is like still and and and cemented
Speaker 1: in this beautiful So she tried to kind of go like, uh,
Speaker 1: but it's it looked it just gorgeous. It just looked
Speaker 1: like she had like art smelled a flower or was
Speaker 1: being brushed by a spring wind? Did you just get
Speaker 1: brushed by a spring was trying I was mocking you.
Speaker 1: So I wasn't trying to so beautiful. I wasn't trying
Speaker 1: to be rude, but I just assumed this was like
Speaker 1: an a beautiful athlete. And but that was hilarious. And
Speaker 1: I was like okay, and I loved her. I ended
Speaker 1: up loving I loved everybody. Yay, Leonna, you've said this
Speaker 1: is the only film that's ever made me want to
Speaker 1: take up running.
Speaker 2: In the way that you, in your mind are strong
Speaker 2: like this. Yes, yeah, in my mind I can run
Speaker 2: like she does in this. She makes it look so easy.
Speaker 2: She's enjoying it. Ah A not a glimmer even of
Speaker 2: sweat on her, her luscious ponytail flowing behind. Whereas me,
Speaker 2: every time I do a workout class that's cardio, the
Speaker 2: instructor comes up to me because my face gets so
Speaker 2: red and asks are you okay? It happened to day
Speaker 2: A Mirr four hours ago, a young young man had
Speaker 2: to ask me if I was okay because I had
Speaker 2: gone tomatoes own.
Speaker 1: Again. That's insane too, because you are you live in England, Yes,
Speaker 1: you live in England. Like of all the places where
Speaker 1: there's supposed to be other people.
Speaker 2: Who like oh, who experience this.
Speaker 1: Who have white faces that become red while working out,
Speaker 1: it should be in the UK.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I think I wear my emotions on my
Speaker 2: sleeve in a way that the the English do not.
Speaker 2: So not only am I beat red, I'm also like
Speaker 2: visibly downtrodden at the end of a hard workout in
Speaker 2: a way that others are kind of stiff upper lipping it.
Speaker 1: Leanna, you've said zodiac sign, bitch.
Speaker 2: I loved that.
Speaker 1: Did they say that?
Speaker 2: They were so many things? There were so many zers
Speaker 2: I couldn't It was constant, absolutely, one hundred zings hours.
Speaker 1: May I say, I wonder since this is formative for you.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of puns in this movie. It's
Speaker 1: extremely punned forward. I mean they're stupid puns. They're like,
Speaker 1: they're like very two thousands puns. Are you thinking of
Speaker 1: like when she calls her pariah carry yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: like mble without applause. Yes, anytime they have a choice
Speaker 1: they get their default line is like, well we need
Speaker 1: to think of a pun here. Oh yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: without applause. Why don't you take it like that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It is a very funny film, Geez.
Speaker 2: I think you really are onto something there because I
Speaker 2: was thinking just in terms of like bisexuality question mark huh.
Speaker 2: I think this film made an impact, but damn also
Speaker 2: in terms of never having sex because I am instead
Speaker 2: making puns. Oh ah.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was also because they were twenty
Speaker 1: four hour gymnasts, as they said, but I guess they
Speaker 1: were just like making puns.
Speaker 2: This is a Greek prophecy. You will be bisexual, but
Speaker 2: you will never get laid because you're always making puns,
Speaker 2: like Cassandra from from Troy, where she would know the
Speaker 2: future but no one would ever believe her when she
Speaker 2: told them, Oh, damn it, stick it, damn it have
Speaker 2: you done to me? And if anybody's like, are you
Speaker 2: coming out on the pod by now? I don't know, Mom, Dad,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Listen, I don't know. You'll get an
Speaker 2: email when I figure it out.
Speaker 1: I did love you. I liked that this movie. Also.
Speaker 1: I always respect when movies are able to not have
Speaker 1: like a romance be one of their main oh sort
Speaker 1: of truths, because that's kind of an any one, but
Speaker 1: like that's just not what their life was really focused on.
Speaker 1: So like, yes, the boys are in the periphery kind of, but.
Speaker 2: They should be where they should be keeping there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I also loved these guys were like you know boys.
Speaker 1: I know that it'supposed to because they're twenty four hour athletes,
Speaker 1: but like that's also so real about high school you
Speaker 1: know boys, it's called having friends. Okay, Leonna, I need
Speaker 1: to read some of your notes, you said, Sienna, I
Speaker 1: really hope you like this movie. I did. It was little.
Speaker 2: I felt a little vulnerable. I didn't realize why watching it.
Speaker 2: I think this is one of my favorite films.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is a great favorite film. It really was
Speaker 1: really good. I mean I thought, yes, I thought it
Speaker 1: would be. I was imagining again the cheerleader vibe that
Speaker 1: which is, you know, people doing a lot of uh
Speaker 1: flips and things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but being being thrown.
Speaker 1: Mostly being kind of like mean to each other.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like that at all, no, I know.
Speaker 1: I also learned so much about the gymnastics world and
Speaker 1: what's antiquated and like the fans. I also loved the
Speaker 1: boys who were watching, and they were like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: this sport is amazing.
Speaker 2: Loved it. I will point Eliza was like this was
Speaker 2: written by a woman because one of the boys said
Speaker 2: something that was so oh. When one of the guys
Speaker 2: was like, she's got you totally whipped man, and the
Speaker 2: other guy's like, okay, so since when it's been whipped
Speaker 2: a bad things like ever, and the other guy's like
Speaker 2: good point, good point was like, okay, a woman did right.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I was like, is it in some ways a fantasy?
Speaker 2: Of course, but it's wonderful.
Speaker 1: Leonna, you've said Academy Award for Way Way. Please?
Speaker 2: Oh did you have any favorite characters? There is pretty
Speaker 2: obviously a correct answer here.
Speaker 1: Ah, To be honest, I loved them as a unit.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great. The correct dancer is way Way.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've only seen it the once. Sure, I did
Speaker 1: love but Way Way. Oh oh, you mean when she
Speaker 1: does her whole dance routine on.
Speaker 2: The I mean every moment of hers in the film,
Speaker 2: but especially her routine on being that was awesome. Oh,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm oh my god.
Speaker 1: There was a moment that really struck me in the
Speaker 1: film when yes, well.
Speaker 2: It's I shouldn't say it like that time for our segment,
Speaker 2: a moment that really struck me.
Speaker 1: Well, this is a bad example of there were many
Speaker 1: many moments that were very emotional for me. This one
Speaker 1: wasn't emotional. It was more I went what but in
Speaker 1: a way that I enjoyed, which was do you remember
Speaker 1: when they have a it's way Way and Mina. Do
Speaker 1: you remember when they hold like a shot of them
Speaker 1: for a really long time while they're.
Speaker 2: Thinking, yes, yes, I do.
Speaker 1: It was one of the longest thinking shots I've but
Speaker 1: it was long enough for me to go, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was.
Speaker 2: I think that may have been where I wrote down
Speaker 2: Academy Award for way Way Please really, because I could
Speaker 2: totally see it being like the director's like, okay, and
Speaker 2: then we'll just get like a reaction shot of you,
Speaker 2: like thinking about that information that you've just learned right there.
Speaker 1: It's when there, It's when they are wondering if Hayley
Speaker 1: actually was sabotaging them instead of trying to encourage them
Speaker 1: to try more ambitious.
Speaker 2: Ducks, and Wayway just keeps giving amazing reaction faces.
Speaker 1: It was such a long reaction shot, but it was
Speaker 1: went for long enough that it was like it was gold.
Speaker 1: It felt like art where I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm going through I'm going through this spectrum of emotions
Speaker 1: that they're experiencing right now.
Speaker 2: Of I loved it.
Speaker 1: Did my friend really betray me? No, she can't, but
Speaker 1: it would make sense. Maybe I don't know her as
Speaker 1: well as I think I did. But was it worth it?
Speaker 1: I got to try something new?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm being, and it's like taken advantage.
Speaker 2: Of in the edit you think about cutting it short
Speaker 2: and you're like, unfortunately I cannot, because all of this
Speaker 2: was gold. This was way too good to cut.
Speaker 1: Directed by a woman. That's all I can say. Oh, Leona,
Speaker 1: you said, may I accompany you to the jelly beans?
Speaker 2: The seven words every girl wants to hear. We just
Speaker 2: really love I love that vibe on a person. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like goofy but polite and kind. Yeah, that's silly. That's
Speaker 2: so fun that it was fun.
Speaker 1: Like they were just too cute, that dating thing, Like
Speaker 1: they were both interested in each other. He thought she
Speaker 1: was cool and was into her bitchy vibe and yeah,
Speaker 1: and you think.
Speaker 2: I'm a bitch. She like literally would go out with either.
Speaker 1: Of them, but then likes him, and like they both
Speaker 1: want to go to prom with each other. It's just
Speaker 1: that was cute. And she gets to go out with
Speaker 1: a boy. She's like, that's she really wants to try
Speaker 1: going out with a.
Speaker 2: Boy, and yeah, going to prom. She just wants to
Speaker 2: go to prom. Actually, I think I'm going to go
Speaker 2: to prom first. This movie is very, very very good.
Speaker 1: It's very very good. And Lea, you said the biggest
Speaker 1: demonstration of kunt in history that Haley's performance.
Speaker 2: It's when Haley first scratches vault and she takes out
Speaker 2: each brastra app ah, oh, I have pumps. I have
Speaker 2: goosebumps right now.
Speaker 1: Mina's talking amazing. Oh, Mina did an amazing performance.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And she got marked down for having her bra strap out,
Speaker 1: which nobody even freaking noticed. And everyone's like, are you kidding.
Speaker 2: Doris, She's she's flipping through the air three Doris. Of
Speaker 2: course her BRA's gonna pop out, Doris, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: we haven't even mentioned that. That's Jeff Bridges.
Speaker 1: I saw earlier that you said, this is the main thing,
Speaker 1: you know Jeff Bridges from Yeah, he did great, he did.
Speaker 2: He was I don't think I've seen him in anything
Speaker 2: else except for that insane movie we had to watch
Speaker 2: that was on the list.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, the naked movie.
Speaker 2: The naked movie.
Speaker 1: The film. This is the opposite of No, it wasn't Nashville.
Speaker 1: I don't even it was the Last Picture Show. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This movie is not only rebelling against antiquated gymnast judging
Speaker 1: gymnastics standards, it's also rebelling against all cinema ever because
Speaker 1: this is justice. The only thing that makes me feel
Speaker 1: better about those horrible movies that I had to ever
Speaker 1: look at it and that people still talk about, is
Speaker 1: that Jeff Bridges ended up being in this movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is showing you how far yes, these are stakes.
Speaker 1: They did such a good job at raising the stakes.
Speaker 1: What what I've just seen your notes.
Speaker 2: I have tried to do a handstand and the splits
Speaker 2: and I have cried.
Speaker 1: Leona while watching this movie. And we have to remember
Speaker 1: I had a pump on to begin with, because I have,
Speaker 1: of course, but there was a moment let's we forget
Speaker 1: see I had a pump on. I didn't really even
Speaker 1: process what I was doing, but I had a moment
Speaker 1: when I realized if any of my roommates came in,
Speaker 1: I had gone to my couch just to see. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I want to feel what it feels like to do
Speaker 1: a handstand, and I knew I couldn't do one, despite
Speaker 1: my intense core strength, At least as I imagine it,
Speaker 1: I don't have the capability of doing that. But I
Speaker 1: sort of stood on the edge of my couch and
Speaker 1: put one leg up and was trying my darn best
Speaker 1: to feel like I was doing a handstand because it
Speaker 1: looked like it felt amazing.
Speaker 2: Yes, and in your mind you are strong like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was like, I wonder how close I
Speaker 1: could do get to doing the splits. Anyway, it really
Speaker 1: was inspiring to me while watching it. I felt like
Speaker 1: a child watching a it's so fun a dance routine
Speaker 1: or something and being like, y, yes, do you.
Speaker 2: Want to do that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I totally. It made me want to do an across
Speaker 2: the floor elaborate set of flips, which would kill me.
Speaker 1: Leanna, your final notes are a healthy bit of rebellion.
Speaker 1: So true. All gymnastics routines should be said to music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that beam routine was everything to that beam routine.
Speaker 1: And then finally you said slay mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: And your final note, your final note is stick. It
Speaker 2: has me bawling.
Speaker 1: I was sitting there in broad daylight, just like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, so important.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's really. It's also about like the people have
Speaker 2: the power, like power to the people, like you can
Speaker 2: overcome a fascist rule if you all stick to, if
Speaker 2: you band together and rise up.
Speaker 1: It wasn't fair. I may not know how to do
Speaker 1: the splits. I may not be able to do a handstand.
Speaker 1: But god damn it, I can take my bra strap out.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Oh my god, I'm so glad
Speaker 2: to hear it all landed as well.
Speaker 1: Women. It was. It was just really good. They did
Speaker 1: it really.
Speaker 2: Because it's hard to tell. Like you know, when you've
Speaker 2: seen a movie a billion times, you like, well, this
Speaker 2: makes sense to me, because I've seen it a billion times.
Speaker 2: You never know if it's all gonna make sense. The
Speaker 2: first time, I felt.
Speaker 1: So welcomed into the gymnast world, like they explained it
Speaker 1: all very well. It felt like there was a real
Speaker 1: love for the sport.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I might watch it again tonight.
Speaker 1: We need to do badges and trages because oh shit,
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking of all the things that.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it. Welcome everybody to our segment Badges
Speaker 2: and Trages, where we award badges for backflips and trages
Speaker 2: for triple backflips.
Speaker 1: Perfect. My first badge is for all the badass montages. Oh,
Speaker 1: there were some amazing, extremely fun, extremely unique beautiful montages
Speaker 1: or birds. I viewed scenes of these women doing all
Speaker 1: sorts of things with their legs or or it would
Speaker 1: be a montage like time lap sort of thing of
Speaker 1: everybody on the team. Are you kidding me? That was
Speaker 1: so so fun and amazing, amazing, amazing displays of athletic feats.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I have a badge for the visual storytelling,
Speaker 2: especially the cinematography during that in house match that they have.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I don't think I wouldn't have trusted a
Speaker 1: man to do this. I'm sorry. There's so many women's
Speaker 1: body on the screen.
Speaker 2: And they just that's very true.
Speaker 1: Actually when a man puts a camera on a woman's body,
Speaker 1: he just it just is it wrong. It's gone so wrong.
Speaker 1: So many are disrespectful. You can just see it.
Speaker 2: That's so true. It really is, like it's a portrayal
Speaker 2: of athletes. Like even like there's a close up on
Speaker 2: a woman's butt where she's spraying her leotard to it,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't feel it's not uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's it's it's women making it and
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's so respectful of the athletes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Badge for all the puns, very punny. Ye.
Speaker 2: I have a badge for the font, the sort of
Speaker 2: graffiti ish font yeah in the opening credit. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Badge for dogs are people too?
Speaker 1: Hayley.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I love flying.
Speaker 1: The writing makes no cardioectomy.
Speaker 2: I will have a cardio ofseectomy. Badge for the soundtrack.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, the soundtrack was really fun.
Speaker 2: Oh it just slapped.
Speaker 1: Badge for the athleticism. Are you kidding? You don't get
Speaker 1: to see this In most movies, you don't get to
Speaker 1: see this most of the time.
Speaker 2: It is so rare that you get to see this. Oh.
Speaker 2: A little badge for Greg slash Gary from White Lotus. Hello. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was there for like a second, right mm hm
Speaker 2: he plays her dad and everyone's.
Speaker 1: Like what Hello, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2: It was a different time.
Speaker 1: Badge for rooting for the other girls. Yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: love women supporting women in a real way. They changed
Speaker 1: They changed the world, honestly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. A badge for that running bit of talking over
Speaker 2: the phone. But you're making a phone out of your hands.
Speaker 2: It's like mina, right, yeah, tell Joanne blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: mina put down the phone.
Speaker 1: That is when that is early on when I first
Speaker 1: became shocked, being like, is this movie gonna be really funny?
Speaker 1: I didn't expect it to be a comedy film.
Speaker 2: Yes, this might be a perfect film. It really really
Speaker 2: kind of has everything I want. I guess it's super white,
Speaker 2: but it's actually it's not that white. It's pretty white.
Speaker 1: It's pretty white.
Speaker 2: Which is also like an indictment of the world of
Speaker 2: elite athletics, but also especially now, particularly with like Simone
Speaker 2: Biles Gabby Douglas, like, yeah, we we have seen non
Speaker 2: white people really slay in the women's gymnastics department.
Speaker 1: I noticed that. I hmm, I noticed that in my
Speaker 1: trage is sorry, okay, yeah, I'm sorry. It was just
Speaker 1: so boring. Oh no, no, no, no, no, Badge, that's
Speaker 1: not true. That's not how I feel, Badge for I
Speaker 1: actually loved this, the boys being obsessed with the sport.
Speaker 1: This it being a two thousands movie. I just completely
Speaker 1: assumed and wasn't thinking much of it that the boys
Speaker 1: would get there and be like, WHOA, so many hot girls.
Speaker 1: Hi five. Yeah, but they actually don't do that. The
Speaker 1: bit about the guys seeing gymnastics is that they kind
Speaker 1: of came to save Haley and they they're kind of
Speaker 1: skater guys, and but they got there and they were
Speaker 1: super invested in the sport because it was so amazing.
Speaker 1: They were just.
Speaker 2: Amazing metal and they really respect a wipeout.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, there was a great.
Speaker 2: Respect, great respect a badge for. I love a we
Speaker 2: gotta stick together moment in a film, and this one's
Speaker 2: was when the judge was like a lot of great
Speaker 2: people had crappy parents. We got to stick together, and
Speaker 2: I said, they have something to come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that judge was awesome.
Speaker 2: Oh, also just fun that they don't have had the
Speaker 2: parent trap.
Speaker 1: I always respect when there's like a little character who
Speaker 1: doesn't do much and they decide to give them like
Speaker 1: a strong character sort of POV thing. Yeah, like that
Speaker 1: is writing with care. I know, because if I had
Speaker 1: to write a thing right now, I wouldn't do that
Speaker 1: because I would lazy. That's how I know they did
Speaker 1: a good job, uh badge for As I've said, this
Speaker 1: movie is so good at raising the stakes in interesting ways.
Speaker 1: I forget. I think it was once they were scratching
Speaker 1: and stuff, I'm like, I didn't even know that's where
Speaker 1: this movie was going. I knew about all of their
Speaker 1: personal issues that were gonna get resolved. But now the
Speaker 1: final beat of the movie is them fighting this world together.
Speaker 1: I didn't predict that.
Speaker 2: Totally, especially with like a sports film. You expect it
Speaker 2: to end with the big need.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was gonna end with a W
Speaker 1: and we find out different exactly. We find out that she,
Speaker 1: you know, left worlds because of this emotional stuff, but
Speaker 1: there was so much more movie left and I was
Speaker 1: grateful for it, which is so rare.
Speaker 2: My final badge is a badge for I love these judges.
Speaker 2: The character actors who played all the judges were so funny,
Speaker 2: I wrote down.
Speaker 1: I wrote that down too earlier. I loved the woman,
Speaker 1: the woman.
Speaker 2: The woman I loved. Well, there's two the woman with
Speaker 2: long bangs with the long bang so funny.
Speaker 1: And then the guy who he's the one who in
Speaker 1: Parks and rec plays the guy who the math guys
Speaker 1: who remember when Ben keeps going to work at the
Speaker 1: ex Yes, and they're obsessed with him, the lead nerd.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that guy. That's so funny.
Speaker 2: You're not going to tell me you.
Speaker 1: Such a genius placement of character actors. My final badge
Speaker 1: is for a movie where the main relationship character is
Speaker 1: a coach.
Speaker 2: It's interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually like like a mentor character, Like they
Speaker 1: didn't have like a best friend who she like was
Speaker 1: fighting with or a love interest or you know, it
Speaker 1: was this coach thing, and she didn't. He wasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was like, you're a daughter to me,
Speaker 1: and so it was just a your father replacement. It
Speaker 1: was just you know, he's like, I'm proud of you
Speaker 1: as my mentee.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Anyway, perfection trages. Trag is trage for I'll just say
Speaker 1: a trage for the two thousands trope of the women
Speaker 1: hating women thing. They ended up loving each other and
Speaker 1: so the actual essence of this film was love. So
Speaker 1: I didn't feel that really coming from the as much
Speaker 1: as it's a a trage for that being sort of
Speaker 1: the essence of the time. Yeah, at this time, there
Speaker 1: was sort of a need to make girls be mean
Speaker 1: to each other or judge each other or be quote
Speaker 1: unquote divas you know.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, devo.
Speaker 1: But again, that's not I didn't feel that energetically, spiritually, spiritually,
Speaker 1: I have a trage for I never understood why her
Speaker 1: friends couldn't be at the final meat in the film,
Speaker 1: But I think it's literally just like it was an
Speaker 1: out of town meet, and I bet there was a
Speaker 1: scene that they cut that was like, oh, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: we can't be there, ye, because they don't say why,
Speaker 1: they're just not Yeah.
Speaker 2: They don't say like I wish my because she has
Speaker 2: that final narration that's like I wish I had better parents,
Speaker 2: I wish my friends were here. And whenever I was
Speaker 2: a kid watching it, I was like, Oh, why aren't
Speaker 2: her friends there? But I think it's literally like they
Speaker 2: couldn't take the same bus to where else in Texas?
Speaker 2: At what the meat was? You know?
Speaker 1: Good point?
Speaker 4: Uh trag for the scene the scene where the boys call, uh,
Speaker 4: what's your name again?
Speaker 2: Joanne?
Speaker 1: The scene where they called Joanne a bitch is just
Speaker 1: so confusing. Every line that came after I just kept
Speaker 1: being like, whoa what ah. The writing of that scene
Speaker 1: confused me so much. So one boy says to her face,
Speaker 1: you're a bitch, and it feels.
Speaker 2: He says to his friend in front of her, she's.
Speaker 1: A bitch, Jude, she's a bitch. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about that, miss prissy whatever. So I understand that
Speaker 1: it was the scene trying to achieve. There's often a
Speaker 1: scene where a mean character gets their comeuppance, where someone's like,
Speaker 1: I don't like your attitude, but calling her a bitch
Speaker 1: wouldn't be as tolerated now and it felt very violent.
Speaker 1: But fortunately the other boy was like, yeah, I like
Speaker 1: that you're a bitch, which I kind of like that.
Speaker 1: He's like, I know what your vibe is and I'm
Speaker 1: into it. But it was just resolved in a weird
Speaker 1: It didn't have a lot of feeling of resolution. It
Speaker 1: was very strange, and she's like, yeah, I could only
Speaker 1: take away that she maybe wasn't super offended, but it
Speaker 1: was super disrespectful. It was a very strange scene. It
Speaker 1: made me feel confused, but I guess when it ended,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, they're okay.
Speaker 2: I think that was the most two thousand and six
Speaker 2: the dialogue was in the film.
Speaker 1: I feel like since it's two thousand and six, that
Speaker 1: was like that was how they translated, Like this is
Speaker 1: through their the language of two thousand and six. This
Speaker 1: was a feminist scene. Yeah, this is them doing their best,
Speaker 1: Like it's just they didn't have the technology. They didn't
Speaker 1: have the technology. That's exactly what it felt like, like,
Speaker 1: you only have you have to use the word bitch.
Speaker 2: And you have to use gay as a punchline.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Also, I was like Yeah, is he gay. That's that's
Speaker 2: what the other part was.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh cool, he's gay.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: It was so amusing. Yeah, anyway, two thousand and six.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: I My final trage is a trage for Unfortunately, any
Speaker 2: choreography after Wayway's balance beam routine will seem lame. So
Speaker 2: Hayley's floor routine is the last routine that we see
Speaker 2: in the movie. And it's, of course, like you've been
Speaker 2: building up to this the whole film and you want
Speaker 2: to see this really like badass Hella sleigh floor routine,
Speaker 2: which it really is with the actual skills that she
Speaker 2: does the flips et cetera across the floor, But unfortunately
Speaker 2: the choreo in between I've always found like a little lame.
Speaker 2: And I still feel that way. She's not a dancer,
Speaker 2: you know. And again it's that thing of like we
Speaker 2: now in modern times are c and gymnasts really stray choreo,
Speaker 2: Like we're seeing people who can actually dance dance. That's
Speaker 2: so in the bits between the flips, Yeah, and way
Speaker 2: Way had so she was so good at dancing, she
Speaker 2: does a full hip hop beam routine, and then this
Speaker 2: in comparison always seems a little bit like well.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, you're okay. What Way is doing?
Speaker 2: She was like shadow boxing and I was like, that's
Speaker 2: a good trage.
Speaker 1: My My final trage is for yes, I did notice
Speaker 1: how white this was. The good thing is is because
Speaker 1: I notice how white it is because the gymnastics we
Speaker 1: see these days, there's so many more black women involved.
Speaker 2: True, so there has been yeah, aggression.
Speaker 1: So the trage is probably for the sport itself, and
Speaker 1: like it's because I didn't even tune into the sport
Speaker 1: until they've started making this progress. Like I know, it's
Speaker 1: like this is huge and historic, you know, to have
Speaker 1: some miles here and to like be like breaking so
Speaker 1: many records and things like that, and mm hmm, I did.
Speaker 1: I did notice it when they were some of those montages.
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, this is this is a white sport.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's yeah, that's the Olympic track.
Speaker 2: And it's also you know totally and.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to a raceway because Waywa was there
Speaker 1: and slang Waywe was amazing the way for so much.
Speaker 2: I really think she was my favorite. I just I
Speaker 2: watching it this time around her facial expression, uh huh throughout.
Speaker 1: I love that and Mina, we're besties too, a little
Speaker 1: like there's like when there's like a little pair in
Speaker 1: the movie and then later when they're like hanging out
Speaker 1: of the mall, like they're hanging out with each other
Speaker 1: and feeding candy to each other because they're besties.
Speaker 2: Besties.
Speaker 1: Yay. Well, shall we move on to our next segment
Speaker 1: of the podcast, which is, of course, h how to
Speaker 1: pretend you've seen this film? This is for you.
Speaker 2: Are at the concession stand, at the concession stand, a
Speaker 2: gymnastics me looking for a new for food. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: and coach comes up to you and says you're popping
Speaker 2: the clutch and you say, so what what?
Speaker 1: Hello? I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm literally here for nachos.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 2: Come on, huss huss control your tricks.
Speaker 1: That's in my softball coach, my terrible softball coach in
Speaker 1: high school would say instead of hustle, he go.
Speaker 2: Huss huss hussh god, huss huss huss. My dance teacher
Speaker 2: was always like, help me, help you, which was just
Speaker 2: her way of saying like be better.
Speaker 1: So coach is saying all this stuff to you, you
Speaker 1: go no, No, I'm done with that. I'm done with
Speaker 1: all that. I just want to I'm left that behind.
Speaker 2: I'm not an athlete anymore.
Speaker 1: And in order to Stumpy Coach from screaming at you
Speaker 1: about this film and other things and your form, here
Speaker 1: are a few things you can say to pretend that
Speaker 1: you've seen the film stick It.
Speaker 2: Yes, Coach, I've seen stick It. And unfortunately, I actually
Speaker 2: can't continue this conversation because I accidentally burned all my
Speaker 2: leotards last year, so I need not chose.
Speaker 1: I don't know who these people are.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is just.
Speaker 1: Weird that it says originally there were two sisters on
Speaker 1: the team, played by Courtney and Kim heroes.
Speaker 2: Okay, hero say.
Speaker 1: But Kim decided her senior year of high school would
Speaker 1: be more important, so the sister characters were removed. I
Speaker 1: wish I knew who those people were, because I love
Speaker 1: this fact that somebody involved with the taping was like,
Speaker 1: I actually want to go to high school because.
Speaker 2: That's like the point of the movie.
Speaker 1: That's true, choose your destiny. But I have no idea
Speaker 1: who that is.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to look them up.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 1: I'm like, is it a gymnast or an actor. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: sorry that I can't help. But they took people out
Speaker 1: of this movie because they were because they decided to
Speaker 1: go to high school, which is the point. If that's
Speaker 1: not the moral. If the moral of the story isn't
Speaker 1: just go to high school, then I don't know what
Speaker 1: is Yeah? Yeah, yeah, literally, who is that?
Speaker 2: Yes, coach, I've seen. I really think the way that
Speaker 2: Jeff Bridges says the word proud in that film imprinted
Speaker 2: on my brain. I think I hear it all the time.
Speaker 2: But it's something about his small mouth with no lips
Speaker 2: and kind of a Texan accent and a bit of emotion,
Speaker 2: so it's a little husky coming out.
Speaker 1: Proud, Proud.
Speaker 2: I'm so proud, pro. I can't even do it. My
Speaker 2: lips are too luscious. I can't do it proud anyway,
Speaker 2: Back off, coach, I need my nachos.
Speaker 1: I also don't know who this is, right, is it
Speaker 1: Carly Patterson? No? John Patrick? Amadori?
Speaker 2: Oh, he's one of the besties. He's the non Kellen
Speaker 2: Lutt You's the floppy haired guy.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool. In this movie, Haley says she got her
Speaker 1: ged when she was fifteen. In real life John Patrick
Speaker 1: Amadori graduated high school at age fifteen. Okay, cool, And
Speaker 1: then I clicked on him. Okay, I can see that now.
Speaker 1: I clicked on him to see who that was. And
Speaker 1: the first thing it says, oh my gosh, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: the older version of that boy. Now it says that
Speaker 1: you can soon see him.
Speaker 2: Okay, so yep, he aged aged, but what an old boy.
Speaker 1: When I clicked on him, it says, in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: you can see him starring opposite some of these actresses
Speaker 1: in the upcoming drama series three Women. Oh, it sounds
Speaker 1: like a drama series we would come up with, Okay,
Speaker 1: get this, three winny women? Whoa and it sounds like
Speaker 1: hell good green light starring with in all these women films.
Speaker 2: Three women. That's way too many. Three women. It's like
Speaker 2: the men's equivalent of Handmaid's Tale, Like losing all bodily
Speaker 2: autonomy in the Handmaid's Tale is to women's experience of
Speaker 2: the world as there being three women.
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's so.
Speaker 2: Dystoping at once. No, no coach, stop talking to me
Speaker 2: about a film. You're gonna hurt yourself. Think about your weness.
Speaker 2: That was so period piece because everybody learned the word
Speaker 2: ween around two thousand and six and was having a giggle.
Speaker 1: It was excellent news for four tweens and teens everywhere.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yes, coach, I've seen the film. I have
Speaker 1: seen the film. Stick it. Uh. Both Haley and Joanne,
Speaker 1: both actresses were born in Montreal, Okay, Canadians being good
Speaker 1: at gymnastics. Also, if I fact is that I'm just
Speaker 1: realizing right now that almost all of Hayley's tricks were
Speaker 1: either really fast or from the back.
Speaker 2: And that's why I thought.
Speaker 1: I completely thought it was her. I've never been so
Speaker 1: effectively tricked by a movie. I was very, very effectively.
Speaker 1: I was living the fantasy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, and they did so much training that they really
Speaker 2: had the bodies of gymnasts.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so it felt interchangeable when it was them
Speaker 2: versus a stunt double.
Speaker 1: They really found good.
Speaker 2: That must have been really hard to do. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: I feel like with a lot of stunt doubles, you're
Speaker 2: at least wearing pants.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. There's not so much that you have to
Speaker 1: like match exact need to see every contour and muscle, musculature, makeup.
Speaker 2: Oh, Siena, let's move on. Let's move on to our
Speaker 2: segment should you watch this or in which we tell
Speaker 2: you if we think you should watch this movie or
Speaker 2: if you should do something else with your training.

Speaker 1: thought it was fun.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I agree. You actually must watch this film.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: It was fun. I don't like it.

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing.
Speaker 2: There's so many colors. I love their leotards at the
Speaker 2: end with the flames, but they're all in different colors
Speaker 2: because they're individuals.
Speaker 1: Because they're individuals. Oh, I love those flame costumes. It's
Speaker 1: so when everything's like the same but different I know,

Speaker 1: was a big thing there. So we had an ice
Speaker 1: bath at the school and one time I remember one
Speaker 1: of the boys coming up and being like, Oh, I'm

Speaker 1: and some other girl were like, we're about to do it.
Speaker 1: We're already taking one. Yeah he was. He looked at
Speaker 1: us like huh, because he took us. He so didn't
Speaker 1: take us seriously. He's like he was a more serious runner,
Speaker 1: and I remember in that time being like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is entitlement. Ah, boys are very entitled. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: them down.
Speaker 2: And we stay on Siena for a long reaction shot
