0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Fran frequently, Fran, Fran frequently saw you this weekend. Actually, yeah,

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I saw Fran frequently over the past week. The first

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>time was the surprise because we both showed up to

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the same film event without knowing that we were both

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be there. Yes, and we both looked at

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>each other and we were both like, of course you're

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>here because we were there, of course to see Tony

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Collette's Mafia Mama, which is Tony Collette and Catherine Hardwick's

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.119
<v Speaker 1>month right right, Catherine Hardwick, the director of Twilight, which

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>I was, which which you informed me as we were there.

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>She looks insane and she was there at the premiere.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Everyone was there at the premiere at this very Tony

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Collette was there in a gown. Was there? Teresa Judice

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>from Real Housewives of New Jersey was there with their family.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>We were She was actually in the row between Fran

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and I, So we were sharing space with Catherine Hardwick,

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Tony Collette, and Teresa Judice in one room. Oh yeah, incredible.

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Just to paint the scene. Tony Collette was wearing a

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>wedding gown pretty much like a wedding and you know,

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>like a like a white gown. It was a white gown,

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.239
<v Speaker 1>a white gown with flowers and sheer elements that dragged

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>on the floor. That's a wedding gown. I don't know.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Didn't read wedding to me. I had read Spring. I'm

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>not insulting her. It's I mean, Muriel's wedding like it's

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a reference. Sounds a little bit like you are. No,

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a reference. It's a reference, of course to Tony

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Kolet of your Teresa Judaice. I got to skip her

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in the AMC concessions line because I was an a

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>list rewards member, So that wow, very gratifying moment for me,

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I will say, But I also just like didn't realize

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>until it wasn't only until I checked out when I

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>like walked past her and I was like, oh my god,

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>is that Teresa Judice? And I don't watch Jersey, so

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I like wasn't sure, and I was like, it could

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>just be a woman from Jersey, very well could be,

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>but she's so short in person. I was kind of

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>shook by that. And then Catherine Harden, her hairline, her

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>hairline is even shorter. Yes, oh my god, yes, she

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>has a she has a notoriously tiny for well, we

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>we came to discover that she got she got her

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>forehead surgically large, sturgically enlarged. I guess she got her

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>hairline race. She she got reverse f fs is what

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>we talked about. She got she got uh f mm

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, facial mascotolism because because

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>her forehead is small, her forehead is just freakishly feminine

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and danty freakishly. But we should say I loved the movie.

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I loved Mafia Maa. It was so fun. It's very ridiculous,

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>very silly, very lots of action and gore. I would

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely compare it to Spy starring Melissa McCarthy, one of

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>my favorite films, and it has that similar like, you know,

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of a uh like downtrodden woman having a an

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>action adventure. It's about this woman who discovers that she

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>has ties to a mafia family in Italy and she

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>becomes the dawn of the family and is just like

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>weirdly good at it. It was super fun and I

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>love like movies like that that don't take themselves too

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>seriously and it just I had a great time watching it.

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Ye did you like it? I? Well, uh, before, I

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>mean I liked it. I thought it delivered what it promised,

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>just in the whack a doodleness of it. And I

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean my favorite I love underdog tropes in any

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>in any forms. So like, yeah, this like use of

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>like mousey, soft spoken woman who like doesn't control her life,

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like kind of stumbles into you know, being a high

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>profile like you know, dangerous woman. And I yeah, it

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>is very much so like Spy. And I didn't really

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>draw that comparison until we got some of this kind

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of absurdist violence. And and to me, the absurdest violence

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>was the best part of the movie. I thought it

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>was like so funny. I immediately saw a Spy. I

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.239
<v Speaker 1>was like, now this is the movie that I wanted

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to see. And I think I think I was just

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I personally so I liked it. Is it a movie

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 1>I would like totally recommend. I didn't think it was

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that funny. I think it was the issue. I thought

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the physical comedy was funny, and I thought that the

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>violence was really really funny, but I didn't think that

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>jokes were that funny and I kind of just wanted

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.479
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more for a bit, but like, but

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I love I mean it's like, how could you not

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>love a movie called Mafia Mama. It's called Mafia MoMA,

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Like it's a mama and she, you know, is in

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>charge of the mafia and she has this her Tony

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Klutz character is this kind of like midwestern like white girl,

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>like bright, bubbly, like how would you describe her? Like

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>it was such an interesting you know, she's just like

0:06:55.279 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>a very normy, middle aged woman, a in a in

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a disappointing marriage, her husband cheats on her, her son

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>just left to go to college, and she's has this

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>job that she hates. And then she goes on this

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>trip to Italy and like all of a sudden is

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>like sexy and powerful and she gets a makeover and

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>she has a very sapphoic vibe with her like number

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>two woah yeah by Monica Monica Balucci, who the whole movie,

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you're waiting for them to hook up because the vibe

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>is like so overt and it seems like in a

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Tony Collette movie directed by Catherine Hardwick in twenty twenty three,

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like that would actually happen. Like I, as we got

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>further into the movie, I was like, Oh, they're actually

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna do this. She's gonna and especially at that I

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>mean spoiler alert at the end, she like breaks up

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>with the guy she's been seeing, and I was like, Okay,

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 1>this is now, She's finally going to hook up with

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Monica Balucci in her prosthetic leg, which was one of

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the major gags of the film. It was really but

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>then but then it never happened, and it was disappointing.

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>So like, yes, there are some tweaks that could be made,

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>but it was a very fun movie. It's the kind

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>of movie that my mom will probably watch every time

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>it comes on TV and love it. And uh yeah,

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I had a great time. I thought the Monica Bluegi

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>lesbian stuff was like for comedic effect, but yeah, no,

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>they should have. They should have hooked up. But you,

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, you kind of walk out of every

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>movie saying, you know, they should have hooked up. Yeah,

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>but but this was this was different because Monica Bligey

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>was literally like she was she was going in crawling

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>all over to yes, and it could have happened, And

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I was just disappointed that it didn't but still loved it.

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of crawling all over, can we talk about Sasha

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Colby crawling on top of that giant coat Diva for

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the finale lip sync of Drag Race. Oh my god,

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>she is incredibly mean. She's queen. Like, I know that

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it's so cliche to like come out of these like

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>episodes of TV and be like, oh my god, mother, queen,

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 1>you're the mess. But like, no, like like epithets and

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>cliches and like gay aphorisms like have nothing on Sasha Colby,

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>who is a real, actual legend in the grand scheme

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>of like people we've seen through this competition, like next

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to Jinks, the one of the greatest performers the show

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>will ever see period. Yeah, and more than any other

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>season of Drag Race, this finale felt like a coronation

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>rather than you know, any sort of competition like this

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>whole this for Sasha, this season has truly just been

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a straight shot to the crown. And you know, I

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 1>think some of the other I think the other queens

0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>were a little gagged. Not not the they expected to win,

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think especially Mistress and Lux probably were upset

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that they didn't make it to the top. Two that

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>after a season of everyone having so much thought about

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>who was like runner up in the challenges, that to

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>me really translated to the finale, especially because I think

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone knew Sasha was gonna win. It really meant like

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>being number one meant being the person who got to

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>lip sync against Sasha at the end. And even though

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of it became obvious at a point

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in the season that the final two were going to

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>end up being Sasha and Anetra. I think Mistress, especially Mistress, like,

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't think luks you know, really, I

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:43.839
<v Speaker 1>don't think she should have even really been in the

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:50.079
<v Speaker 1>top four. But that's you know another uh yeah, well,

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean I guess I think it should have just

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>been a top three. Yeah you are, Yeah, exactly, it

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>should be. It should have been. I mean, I really

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>warmed up to Lux towards it's the end of the season,

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I think after she had her moment of reading Lucy

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Laeduca like that was incredible, But I it took me

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a while to warm up to her, and then once

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I did, I liked her, But I just like don't

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.719
<v Speaker 1>think she needed to be in the top four on

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the Sasha Kolby of at all, I think there needed to

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>be a top four. Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't be

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>nice to go back to top threes, like just you know,

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in general, because the top four it's like it's never

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be it's like, surprise, it's a top four,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's like it's not. It's not a surprise, Like, yeah,

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>but the surprise, especially considering they didn't do they didn't

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 1>do the the the lip sync setup they've been doing

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 1>for the past couple of seasons where each of the

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>team's lip sync and then the winners of those go

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>head to head. Then if you're not going to do that,

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>what's the point in having a top four? Yeah, And

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>what's the point in Yeah, I guess it's because they

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>really want I don't know, but there was a lot

0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>more like programming in this finale because unecessary programming. Well okay, well,

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.959
<v Speaker 1>first of all, let's start with the necessary programming jinks

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.839
<v Speaker 1>singing Mama, Mama will provide her whatever Mama will provide.

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>That's once on this island. What is it called? Yeah, yeah,

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that was mom And let me tell you she finished

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>her number. I immediately bought tickets to see her at

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Kings Theater during her tour.

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, she is such a performer, and yes,

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>we want to see her perform. We did not, however,

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>need the Orville Peck tribute to drag loving police officers.

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck? It was like, we are so insane,

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Like obviously it makes so much sense because of like

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Rue the because of Rue Paul level queer politics, that

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>they would include cops in that. But it was just wild.

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>What was the point? Because like that I'm doing a

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 1>PSA on the show is necessary? Right, Like it I

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>think that that is not, you know, wasted space. I

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 1>think it's a platform where you can educate people that

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>are allegedly fans of drag and help them understand that

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>this is about trans people specifically. But like why police

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>officers Like literally, like I know, like it feels like

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>redundant and like totally like it just like feels like

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you know, throwing stuff into the echo chamber

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>at this point, but like literally, like the the queer

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>historical legacy of drag artists in this country is in

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>opposition to the police every decade. It's galling. But it's

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the kind of queer politics that RuPaul has such a

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>heart office for. It's like it's like even police officers

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>are gay, because it's still it's like it's like finding

0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the most like socially acceptable quote unquote person possible and

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>being like, even he's a fat yeah yeah, Like that's

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>what RuPaul's version of queer politics are. And that's the

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>thing though, like queer quote unquote, it's a gay politic, okay,

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Like police officers can be gay, police officers can't be

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>queer period. Like I'm sorry, I'll say it right now,

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Like police officers literally cannot be queer, and that to

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>be queer the definition of queer, what the word queer

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>means in this country in opposition to authority, is antithetical

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to the work of police. And I honestly I have

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.359
<v Speaker 1>no problem saying that, and I have no problem gatekeeping.

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah no, that's I one hundred percent agree. I don't

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>think any if you actually don't agree with that, like

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you should not be listening to this podcast, Okay, to

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>get into the nitty gritty Rose I So, I was

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>happy actually to see lux in the finale because I

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 1>think she gave pretty much the best number next to

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Sasha Colby's like, I think she came second to Sasha

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in terms of her original number. I thought Mistress had

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>fear in her eyes, and as soon as she finished,

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you could tell totally you could. And that's the it's

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the it's literally the first time we've ever seen Mistress

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>like scared on stage because and I don't honestly know

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>really why. I mean, it had to have been a

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Korea thing, but like as soon as the performance ended,

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you could see the resignation in her demeanor, in her voice,

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>in her eyes that she didn't do the best she

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>felt she could have done. And Anitra I felt her

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>original performance was also like I mean, the song for

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the most part, the song just like wasn't that good.

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>And Lux's song was really good, you know what I mean,

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>But Anitra apparently there was like drama about like a

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>backup dancer that got like a broken foot or something

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>like that. All that is to say is like also

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the thing. Of course, it was always I was just

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, of course it was always going to be

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a Nature versus Sasha, but like if they were giving

0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 1>a real judging, it would have been Lux versus Sasha Colby. Yeah,

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I could see that, but I do think these things

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>were decided before the finially and even with a Nietra

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>like I do think at a certain point in the season,

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a Nietra very much proved herself to be a one

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>trick pony, Like you know her she was a lip

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>sync assassin, but you know, she was pulling the same

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>moves every time. Like, yes, her jumping over Marcia to

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the third Power was gaggy, But obviously she did well

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 1>in some of the challenges, although some of the later

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>wins I don't necessarily agree with. But yeah, she had

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>a stick and it you know, she brought it in

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>literally the first episode and then kind of did the

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>same thing throughout the whole competition. I'll agree with you

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to Nix, I like obviously would die for a Niitra slash,

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>like I want her to like be my wife and partner,

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and I would take care of her. But I feel

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>like you think you think she's hot. I think a

0:16:55.360 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Nietr is so fine and so beautiful. But I was

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna say I would I would say Anitra's not so

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 1>much a one trick pony as her performance style is

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>just not as rounded as the other girls, like Lux

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Mistress and Sasha are all giving triple quadruple threat kind

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 1>of scenarios where Anitra is really only giving us dance

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and performance. And she because she has this really really

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of lovable, endearing underdog story. I think that's like

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a big reason why people were so gagged that you know,

0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.199
<v Speaker 1>she could do karate and do a duck walk and

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>jump over Marsha and all the different stuff. Like I

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>think that is like worthy of someone going all the

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.199
<v Speaker 1>way to the end. But we have to say, and

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>if I haven't said this before, I must say on

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the record, her runway over and over again was rotted

0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>like rutted, rutted, routted, and the judges just ignored it

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>over and over again for her finale runways and looks

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 1>amazing the crystal gown that she did with like the

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Chris little spine down her back or whatever, that was

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 1>also nice. All of her other runways were giving dolls

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:12.120
<v Speaker 1>kill latex jumpsuits like Vegas core patent leather like ugly, ugly,

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:16.120
<v Speaker 1>ugly garments and flat wigs and the and the judges

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>ignored it because they loved Antra And that is fine,

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>because I love a Nutra too, but like it has

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to be said, yes, well that that was such the

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>glaring difference watching Sasha versus a Nutra in that final

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>lip sync is just, you know, it confirms more than

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.439
<v Speaker 1>ever that drag is a woman's sport. And you have

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you have like the doll of all dolls up there

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 1>against you know, Anitra in her like Vegas body suit.

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I just Sasha like that there's a reason why she

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, took all those clothes off. Like yes, part

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of it is like political because of everything that's happening.

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Like I think she even said an interview with Entertainment Weekly,

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 1>like she wanted to like put out on stage like

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what everyone is so scared of. But it's also like,

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>as she said earlier in the season, like she's the

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>only one who could turn up there and give body,

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's what she did. And like watching her up

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 1>on that stage is like watching so many trans drag

0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 1>performers who I've seen, like watching Charlene do a number

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and like strip down to nothing and like a crowded

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 1>bar or a club, and like there's just something different

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 1>when it like yes, we love like the artifice and

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>transformation of drag, but like when that has like crystallized

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 1>into someone's final form and then it's like the realnessness

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>just sick. It was hilarious that Drag Race decided to

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>give Bob Mackie, it's giving us Lifetime Achievement Award when

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 1>in reality, like Sasha Colby was the winner of the

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Lifetime Achievement Award. Like that's really what it felt like.

0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought Bob Mackie was dead. I kind of did too.

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna When they said they were doing a

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>tribute to him, I was like, oh did Heah? I

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>was like I would have heard if he died. It was. Yeah,

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of bizarre. I guess it's like because

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>they were whatever anyways. But yeah, the coronation you were

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about with Sasha was amazing. Virgins, if you have

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:24.639
<v Speaker 1>any any opportunity to see Sasha Colby perform in person

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.120
<v Speaker 1>during one of her many, you know, cross country performances,

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you have to because seeing her in person is a

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>completely different experience than seeing it on TV. She does

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 1>it like no other queen can, and oh god, it

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 1>was just it was It just made me proud to

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>love the art form that I love. And I think

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that every drag artist watching her felt that way too,

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.479
<v Speaker 1>even Mistress, who I don't know if you saw that

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>clip of them watching the finale reveal together and mistresses

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 1>in that room, and as soon as they announce that

0:20:55.880 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it's Slasha Colby's, Mistress turns like this really funny like canned,

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and she goes, what what the fuck? Boom, Like it

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>was so it was so knowing because they all knew

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 1>that she was gonna win, But it was also like,

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Mistress is such a good sport because and I think

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you'll agree with me, Rose, like she Mistress is on

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.640
<v Speaker 1>like that level, Like she is maybe not as good

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 1>as Sasha Colby, but she is as like well rounded

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 1>as Sasha Colby. She is such an expert in drag

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and I wish I could have seen her even more

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>of her. But she she's gonna, you know, hopefully murder

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.159
<v Speaker 1>All Stars at some point. Oh yeah, mistress will she

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.360
<v Speaker 1>will be winning Stars, you know, fifteen or whatever. Yeah,

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>she has to win. She has to win. Can you

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:44.920
<v Speaker 1>believe we're getting All Stars in like two weeks? Two

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 1>or three weeks? Yeah, I'm surprised it's not starting this week.

0:21:48.240 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right now. M after after rewatching Mama Mia last Night.

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.439
<v Speaker 1>It's a very horny movie. But I think Abba is

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 1>very horny music. Well okay, okay, it is thematically horny, yes,

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's not music that makes you horny. Nor would

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you fuck to Abba? Would you see the face that

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you just made? That was like I would too. Yeah,

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I would fuck to a selection of ABBA's music, you know,

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>not all of it, some maybe I would fuck to

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Gimme gimme gimme on the loop for you know, six hours. Yeah,

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean that whole album, to be honest, it is

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>gim me give me, give me your favorite Abba song? Yeah, okay,

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>that whole album is definitely. That album is definitely my

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>favorite album, Like Vulie Voo is so like transcendent, and

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the first like the first song as Good as New

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.679
<v Speaker 1>is probably one of my favorite Abba songs, though I'm

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:11.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure my favorite what's your favorite song? Probably Dancing Queen,

0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>which is so so so pathetically basic. I just know

0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I have when it's right, it's right, I have like

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.120
<v Speaker 1>a really really fierce, like lifelong, like literally lifelong attachment

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to that song. And and then I also really love Chita.

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>It has like a lot of course emotion. I'm getting

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 1>emotional even talking about it. But that's the thing that

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>it's so emotional. It's such emotional music. No, it is.

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Last night when I was watching Mom and Mia during

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the Dancing Queen sequence, I cried. I teared up. Of course,

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I was also very stoned. I wanted to I wanted

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.439
<v Speaker 1>to be I wanted to like have that moment of

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 1>watching it and then be able to get stone this

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.920
<v Speaker 1>morning and like flash back to where I was last night.

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>But but here's what I don't understand. You love Abba,

0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you love your music. How have you waited this long

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>to watch Mama Yea because I knew I wouldn't like it?

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And did you not like it? I enjoyed it for

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>what it was, everything that it brought to the table,

0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>everything that it promised it delivered on. It's just it

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>was not it was. It's so confusingly crazy. It's so

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy to me, and I think it's just a gag.

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I would watch it anytime, honestly on background. Okay, well

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:30.159
<v Speaker 1>it is transcendent. Yeah, and it's just an extremely be

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>positive romp of a musical. And h it's not I

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:37.679
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's a movie that has to be looked

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>at in a through a complicated lens. And that's what

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I love about it. It's about, you know, being on

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.119
<v Speaker 1>the beach in Greece and not knowing who your dad is.

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I just looked up how much money Mama Mia made

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 1>at the box office, and it made six hundred and

0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>eleven million dollars on a fifty two million dollar budget.

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It was a and that's good hit. Yes, it was

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:04.119
<v Speaker 1>a hit. It was a hit. I remember when it

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 1>came out, they were doing sing along screenings. It had

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a sort of it had an extended release. It was

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in theaters forever because people just loved it so much.

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>It was a phenomenon. I mean every time it's every

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>time Abba comes back into the culture, we're like glad

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>for it because Abba is just like so omnipotent in

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>pop music and influences so much pop music, and yet

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:32.520
<v Speaker 1>like nothing sounds like Abba, you know what I mean? Yeah,

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it just Abba. Their music just makes you feel good. Yea.

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 1>It is feel good music. It is. It is in

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:43.919
<v Speaker 1>the same category as Fleetwood Mac. You know, it's music

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:47.199
<v Speaker 1>that is makes mostly makes you feel good and happy,

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:50.399
<v Speaker 1>but it is still very deep and emotional and like

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 1>well made. But it is just like good vibes. Yeah,

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and and also like the fact that like so many

0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 1>of their songs are so like bright, happy, upbeat, Like

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the times they're like lyrically like dark, complex,

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>like sad, like despondent. Like this songwriting is so it's

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:17.239
<v Speaker 1>so often like juxtaposed to like the emotionality of you know,

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and the brightness of like the actual feeling of the song.

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 1>It honestly reminds me of like Carli Rai Jepson or

0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:27.439
<v Speaker 1>like Robin totally totally like Robin oh Swedish like that

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:32.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of like sad, sad, sad lyrical songwriting and then

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:36.680
<v Speaker 1>like really upbeat, bright pop. You know. So Mama Mia

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.400
<v Speaker 1>is God. Did we say that we're high? Oh yeah,

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.120
<v Speaker 1>did we tell the virgins? Okay? So it is this

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>right that Abba won Eurovision and that's why they're famous,

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 1>right Yeah. In nineteen seventy four, Abba were Sweden's first

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>winner of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Waterless.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>So but before Waterloo they did have a lot, They

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>still had a lot going for them. You know, they

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.159
<v Speaker 1>were still like in I think they were still they

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.879
<v Speaker 1>were still making hit. They were still Yeah, but that

0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 1>was their breakout. Yeah, I guess it was God. Okay,

0:27:11.800 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 1>what actually plugged? For the Virgins? Dj Louis podcast Pop

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Pantheon does an amazing breakdown of Abba that I'm all

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.639
<v Speaker 1>not remembering, which is great and Virgins, you did not

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>come here for a you know, timeline breakdown of ABBA's career,

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 1>and that's certainly not where you're going to get. So

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I so here's a good starting point. I was first

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 1>introduced to the music of is Abba Abba? You say Abba?

0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:43.199
<v Speaker 1>I say Abba? What's right? What's wrong? I don't know,

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 1>it's Abba, just it's I think it is Abba. I

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 1>think it's whatever you want, what you feel in your soul.

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I was first introduced to their music, not even by them,

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.439
<v Speaker 1>but by the A teens. Do you remember the A

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Star teenes? They are very yeah, yeah, of course and

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>they covered up. They covered it right. They released an

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>album called The Abba Generation and it was all all

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 1>covers of Abba songs. And that's why first, that's why

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I first was introduced to their music because I bought

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the CD like f Ye at the mall and there

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:21.159
<v Speaker 1>was one summary Sleepway camp where I would if I

0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>was doing anything, if I wasn't on stage, rehearsing for

0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever play I was in. I was sitting in the

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 1>woods somewhere, bumping the Alba Generation in my CD player

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and reading and reading, you know, a Harry Potter book

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 1>probably yeah, yeah, or some kind of like well, you

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't have anything. I was gonna say fan fiction, but

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>they were no, like you know, no, there was. I

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>was going on fan fiction and that we had a

0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>computer room at camp and I would get there. I

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 1>would go there and sit there for hours and read

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:52.479
<v Speaker 1>fan fiction. But you know, but I but I like

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>just that summer, I listened to that CD so much

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't even realize that they weren't the band

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that wrote those songs. I didn't realize who I didn't

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 1>know who Abba was. And it was until later that

0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I found out. I have a vivid memory of this

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>is really embarrassing. But speaking of just like, you know,

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 1>being young and not knowing music. I when Lindsay Lohan

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 1>released that album Confession, the one with daughtared Father dddard Father. Yeah,

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 1>it is it's a little more personal. Yes, parentheses raw

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 1>because she yeah, and the one the one where the

0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:32.520
<v Speaker 1>cover is her it's like her back and there's like

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a red image painted on it. Yeah, yes, that's so

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>she did an album. So she does a cover of

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Edge of seventeen. And I thought that Lindsay is very

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>familiar with I thought Lindsay Lohan wrote that song well

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:46.880
<v Speaker 1>because I because I didn't grow up. Was she not

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Matt Oh she did, Oh absolutely, I was. I just

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. I didn't know who Steve Enix was. I

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. Yeah, oh, but I think I feel like

0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I was always known who Steve Vienix is. Like no,

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Leewood Mac was definitely played in my in our house

0:30:05.160 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>like Saturday mornings by my by my parents, and I

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 1>always remember that from growing up. So I think I

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>always knew who Stevie was, But I did not always

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>know who Abba was clearly, and I think I I

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 1>think maybe it was explained to me. I think at

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>some point I was like, Okay, well who's there? This

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>is the Abba generation? Who the fuck is Abba? Or

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I found out what Abba was when the musical came out,

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>because it came out on Broadway like two thousand and one,

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two, so not long after, you know,

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 1>when I was listening to eighteen's and it was a

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 1>huge Broadway sensation. So you saw, So you saw Mama Mia.

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.239
<v Speaker 1>I saw a touring production of Mamma Mia. I never

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 1>saw it on Broadway, but it was like a blockbuster

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 1>musical because you know, it's of course, it's such a

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>smart musical, because it's a jukebox musical with the most

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 1>record niceable like feel good music in the world and

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 1>totally sing along with any any song or at least

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>know it. I'm so curious how the process of writing

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the musical came about, Like what was the one lyric

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>that they were like, Oh, it's about a girl who's

0:31:18.400 --> 0:31:20.239
<v Speaker 1>getting married and doesn't know her dad is because her

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>mom was a slut. I think like that. You know,

0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:28.480
<v Speaker 1>whoever who wrote this musical, The book is by like

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, like Catherine Johnson. She wrote the

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.040
<v Speaker 1>book for the musical and the screenplay for the movie.

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure then, if you're asking what the process of

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>writing this was, I'm sure they all did like lines

0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of coke and k one after the other, like in

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a row on vacation probably, But also the guys from

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Abba the Fuck are their names, Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvus.

0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're very involved in the music in the movie.

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>And actually they both have cameos in the movie. Oh

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:07.440
<v Speaker 1>did they really? Yeah? In Dancing Queen, there's a guy

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>singing on a boat playing the piano, and that's one

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of them. And then in the post credit scene when

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 1>they're singing Waterloo, there's a shot where it like goes

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 1>up to the heavens and the Greek chorus are like

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>performing and there's one of the other guys from ABBA

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>is dressed up as Zeus and he's like, that's presiding overall. Yeah,

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 1>it is beautiful. I'm happy they were involved, although I

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 1>wish the girlies had also been involved. Yeah, that would

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>have been nice, because that's kind of the thing with

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>ABBA is like the men write the songs and the

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 1>women perform them. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's how music

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:48.800
<v Speaker 1>should be. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, tell me more. Tell

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 1>me wor about your views about the binary roles for

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:56.840
<v Speaker 1>for gender and music. So okay, so we're talking about

0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 1>like before before the movie came out, because this movie

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 1>came out two thousand and eight, but Mama Mia loomed

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>large in the culture for a very long time, and

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 1>especially in the theater community. And you know, everyone virgins

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 1>know that I was a musical theater girl in high school. Yes,

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and one year at a theater competition. So when you

0:33:18.360 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>go to these theater competitions they have they also in

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 1>addition to the competitive part of it, they have workshops

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that you can go to. And this one that I

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 1>went to had a dance workshop. And listen, I'm not

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>a good dancer. I never was. I was in a

0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:38.000
<v Speaker 1>tap musical once and I was like feeling myself, and

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>so I went to this what tap musical, Dames at Sea.

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of an anything goes rip off. I was

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 1>an attack which tap musical Crazy for you, Crazy for you? Beautiful, beautiful,

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 1>oh beautiful? Are you a good are tap dancer? No?

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Not at all. That's why I didn't get the lead.

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember many episodes ago when I told you

0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that story about the theater teacher that was, like I

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you, almost it was between you and Luke.

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 1>It was between you and Luke, but Luke got it

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:10.799
<v Speaker 1>because he can suck Luke. And that was what is

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a fuck Luke? Luke, wherever you are out there, I

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>hope you're dead. He's probably He's a really nice what

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I remember fuck him? So so anyway, at this theater competition.

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I went to a workshop where they taught us the dance,

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the official choreography to Dancing Queen and that's wait, wait

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>from like the music from the musical Yeah, no, from

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the from the Broadway music A music this is you know,

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:41.279
<v Speaker 1>early two thousands, I see Broadway camp. So I did

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 1>learn that dance. I was not very good at it.

0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I would not say that I slayed, because I again,

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>not a good dancer, don't. I don't really have rhythm,

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:56.239
<v Speaker 1>and picking up choreography has always been, let's say challenging.

0:34:56.640 --> 0:35:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Although the tap numbers that I learned in high school

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:04.319
<v Speaker 1>I still remember. It's like muscle memory. No, I will

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:30.360
<v Speaker 1>never forget how to do those. Okay. I have some

0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 1>questions about the movie Mamma Mia, and okay, I just

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 1>so for the virgins. I just watched it on a cruise,

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:42.279
<v Speaker 1>the perfect place to watch it besides a Greek island. Yes,

0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Laurel and I sat down. We were like, okay, we're

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:47.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna watch this. I can't remember if we were high.

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I would assume you were, and I feel well. The

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>thing is, we were running out of meat. If you

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 1>remember from last episode, we were like rationing it and

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we were out by then, and

0:35:56.960 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I should remember, But anyways, my experience the movie was

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 1>just like I realized that I had seen it before,

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:05.760
<v Speaker 1>or that I'd seen it in parts or in background,

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 1>or I swear I watched a lot of it with you,

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh we have never watched fifteen minutes of because you've

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>always refused. I thought we watched the first fifteen minutes

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:18.239
<v Speaker 1>of it after Drag Race one time, and anyways, it

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:21.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. But like I my having rewatched it now

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 1>revisited it with this mindset, I was just like, it

0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:29.480
<v Speaker 1>is pretty perfectly silly and the pure sprasm. It is

0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:36.240
<v Speaker 1>so so distractingly bad as a singer, and wait, actually

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:38.600
<v Speaker 1>did they make these girls sing live? I feel like

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them sung live. No. No. The live

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 1>singing musical of our time was Layz Yeah Lame, which

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.880
<v Speaker 1>was horrible. This No, This was all you know, recorded

0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 1>in a studio, and the soundtrack does slap and huge

0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>hit as well. I feel like some of them were

0:36:56.520 --> 0:37:00.560
<v Speaker 1>singing on set if a lot of it felt like, well,

0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:04.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe they were just really bad. But oh god, Pierce Brosnan,

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, he was so he was so sexy.

0:37:07.640 --> 0:37:10.439
<v Speaker 1>He was extremely sexy. Which one of the three dads

0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:12.160
<v Speaker 1>would you want to fuck? Oh I'm so glad you

0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 1>asked this because I did think about it last night

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and it is one hundred percent selling Stars Garden. Oh

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:24.440
<v Speaker 1>what he was really giving for me on this viewing.

0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought for sure you were going to say Colin Firth.

0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I love Colin Firth, and I think this is such

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a great Colin Firth role because he's usually so serious

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's so goofy and silly in this movie. And

0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:40.760
<v Speaker 1>he's gay and he's and he's gay. I mean he's

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:45.000
<v Speaker 1>blind and he's gay, I mean gay, I mean blind.

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's blind, I mean blind. Yes, he's gay.

0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And he even gets to get booed up at the end.

0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 1>There is a scene where after the dads have found

0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>out that they're like, they all think that they're Amanda

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Seyfried's dad, when Stellen, scars Guard and Colin Firth are

0:38:07.680 --> 0:38:09.640
<v Speaker 1>on the boat, I mean they all stand up to

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 1>disrupt the wedding. No, no, no, I know an earlier

0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 1>scene than that when they're on the boat together, and

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it's when Stellin is like kind of being like, so

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 1>you're gay, right, without saying it, but like there is

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>there is a vibe between them, and I think they

0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>should have ended up together instead of Colin Firth ending

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:32.399
<v Speaker 1>up with the random ensemble member and Stellen Scar's guard

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 1>winding up with Julie Waters aka Missus Weasley. Missus Weasley.

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>It was so random, Like that's the thing is like

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the way it was all tied together at the end.

0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, this is wild, and like the

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 1>wedding scene is crazy, and everything about that musical is

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:54.799
<v Speaker 1>absolutely bonkers, like the like the narrative, like yeah, they're

0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the best example of a use of musical theater logic.

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:01.200
<v Speaker 1>It is like nothing makes sense and all of these

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 1>crazy things happen and people just accept them. Like when

0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:06.960
<v Speaker 1>when Donna finds the three men there and they're like,

0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:09.080
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, we all just wound up here and we're

0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 1>staying up in this attic and your goat shed and

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 1>She's like, well that's weird, you know. Mama Mia is

0:39:15.280 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of giving Shmiga dude. It's giving well yeah Shmiah, Yeah,

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean yes, brand Swiga dude is Swiga Dude is

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like parodying though crazy and I say logic of musical

0:39:27.160 --> 0:39:30.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's almost like Mama Mia is parodying itself that

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it is a musical, like it's it's crazy. It's like

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it feels like, I mean, I'm so glad that we're

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:39.320
<v Speaker 1>stone because I feel like it needs to be listened

0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>to high. Okay, another another question I have about this

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 1>is how old is Meryl Streep supposed to be in

0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:48.920
<v Speaker 1>this movie? Because they're like amazing because they're like, Sophie

0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:51.640
<v Speaker 1>is twenty years old. So this movie came out in

0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight, so that means that she would

0:39:54.080 --> 0:40:00.360
<v Speaker 1>have had Amanda, sayf reed in nineteen eighty eight, and like,

0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I think we're supposed to believe Donna is like forty,

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:08.840
<v Speaker 1>like mid forties, and she's not. Like they could have

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 1>just made twenty five and it would have been more believable.

0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And also, like they're supposed to there's so many references

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in the songs to the fact that like this all

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>happened in the seventies, but like that doesn't make any

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:24.920
<v Speaker 1>sense either. And then like let's not even introduce the

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:28.279
<v Speaker 1>like Meryl's wig into the equation because then it gets

0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 1>really hassy. I loved Meryl's wig. I think she looked

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I think she looked amazing. Oh, she does look amazing,

0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 1>but her wig is extremely clocky and also tea shot Mama. See,

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was amazing. I did. I thought she

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.920
<v Speaker 1>was unlockable. And and I have to say that as interesting.

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.240
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like it sounds like you're following the weird

0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:52.640
<v Speaker 1>musical theater logic where nothing makes sense because that hairline

0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:56.400
<v Speaker 1>was was rough. It's too low? What I need to

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:58.839
<v Speaker 1>look at it. It's it's not too low. It's just

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:02.279
<v Speaker 1>like it is a wig in a very visible way.

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But Meryl is so good in this movie that she's

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:14.080
<v Speaker 1>so fun and like she's always on and like what

0:41:14.520 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 1>when when the her divas came in off the boat

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:19.880
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning and they had that moment of meeting

0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>up again together, like they're all so good. I believed

0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that they were friends, like I believed the relationship between

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Meryl and Amanda, Like, Meryl is just incredible. I know

0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:33.239
<v Speaker 1>this is such a hot take. Meryl Streep is a

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 1>good actress, but no, but it is she is. I

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:38.799
<v Speaker 1>think I think the thing is about it is just

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that the rest of the movie is not giving what

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Meryl's giving, Like Meryl is giving ding. Sorry, Meryl's giving

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:51.720
<v Speaker 1>acting down like and in the singing she's giving acting.

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:56.080
<v Speaker 1>She is giving character like her. Her vocals are emotional

0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and our meeting with the character like she's to me,

0:41:58.440 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the only one that is actually doing it. Amana Syfreed

0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:04.120
<v Speaker 1>is obviously amazing, but she I don't think, is this

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:07.560
<v Speaker 1>is not like Amanda Sufried's like that, Like Amanda was

0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I think playing more into the parody, you know what

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Like I feel like everyone on set was

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:16.280
<v Speaker 1>not taking the movie very seriously. I think they're having fun,

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:21.080
<v Speaker 1>but they're still, you know, all like doing it like

0:42:21.160 --> 0:42:24.160
<v Speaker 1>they're ye all committed, even to even to the parts

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that I don't like, like Christine Baranski's number that's all

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:30.359
<v Speaker 1>about her being a cooper and how the young guy

0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:33.040
<v Speaker 1>wants to fuck her. I'm like, oh my god, I

0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:35.919
<v Speaker 1>mean that's that song is it's I think that could

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:39.800
<v Speaker 1>have been cut from the movie. But but she's still

0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:44.319
<v Speaker 1>selling it. She's still giving a thousand percent. Yeah, she's

0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:48.480
<v Speaker 1>giving one thousand percent. I mean she she was also incredible. Okay,

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:51.319
<v Speaker 1>So in this movie, even though obviously Colin Firth is gay,

0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>there's the scene where Amanda goes on the boat and

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:58.279
<v Speaker 1>like spends an afternoon with them, and they're all like

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:01.920
<v Speaker 1>being dad like, but also like they all obviously want

0:43:01.960 --> 0:43:03.799
<v Speaker 1>to fuck her because they don't know yet that she

0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:06.719
<v Speaker 1>could possibly be their daughter. But that is very much

0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the vibe, Like except for Colin Firth because he's gay.

0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 1>But even then I think a little bit, they're like

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:16.719
<v Speaker 1>what if what if we? I just like gang banged

0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:21.799
<v Speaker 1>you right now. I just love the mechanations your head

0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:25.520
<v Speaker 1>makes and like like interweaving all of these characters to

0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the point of homosexuality, no matter what homosex. But also

0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:33.480
<v Speaker 1>just like that is your take behavior every culture. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I just characters on screen. I'm like, would they fuck

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 1>or wouldn't they? And for the most part, like nine

0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:43.959
<v Speaker 1>times out of ten they would. Maybe I was high

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:47.720
<v Speaker 1>because like I do not remember anything. I don't remember,

0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:50.960
<v Speaker 1>or rather I I at no point was like thinking

0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.319
<v Speaker 1>about the characters or what they wanted. It was just

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to me like a series of music videos and and

0:43:56.800 --> 0:44:00.600
<v Speaker 1>like some light narration in between and I and I

0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 1>loved that, And god, I honestly didn't even know sometimes

0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>what the character's relationships were together, and I was often confused,

0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:09.759
<v Speaker 1>especially since we don't know who the daddy is. But

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 1>that was But that's so annoying to me. It's supposed

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:17.239
<v Speaker 1>to be like who who done it? Who Daddy? Well,

0:44:17.239 --> 0:44:20.680
<v Speaker 1>who do you think it is? Who daddy? I think? Yeah,

0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:23.760
<v Speaker 1>which daddy do you think is the daddy? Who daddy?

0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:26.919
<v Speaker 1>What are the threes? So it's it's Colin Firth, Stellin'scar's

0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:32.200
<v Speaker 1>card and Pierce Brosman. I think I think it was Stellin's.

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Stellen's guard. I agree, Yeah, I

0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:41.440
<v Speaker 1>think I think he and Amanda maybe look alike a

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit. I thought, I thought, just because like the

0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 1>two other heart throbs would be too obvious and it

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:49.879
<v Speaker 1>had to be the one that looked like a dad.

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Did they find out who the dad actually is in

0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the sequel? I don't remember literally. I hear we go again?

0:44:57.400 --> 0:45:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Were you? Probably? But I've only seen it once and

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:04.200
<v Speaker 1>have never wanted to watch it again. No, I didn't

0:45:04.200 --> 0:45:07.839
<v Speaker 1>watch it. I opened it up on a plane, watched

0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:10.279
<v Speaker 1>the first like thirty seconds, and then skipped to the

0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 1>end to when Share comes in, and then it was

0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the only part worth watching. I mean, I know

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the general plot of it. I know that Meryl's dead,

0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like a lot of flashbacks Lily Lily James is

0:45:21.239 --> 0:45:25.520
<v Speaker 1>in it, but I don't remember. The intricacy is of

0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:29.839
<v Speaker 1>the plot. And I think that's fine. Meryl's Meryl's dead, right,

0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:32.319
<v Speaker 1>She's dead in the in the first scene, it's like her,

0:45:32.400 --> 0:45:35.480
<v Speaker 1>she's dead the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, but she has

0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:38.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't her spirit come back or something? No, No, it's

0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:41.200
<v Speaker 1>just most of the movie is flashbacks of her, of

0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:43.919
<v Speaker 1>the young version of her. Meryl was like, I'm good,

0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:46.880
<v Speaker 1>love enjoy. I do think in the in the post

0:45:46.920 --> 0:45:51.839
<v Speaker 1>credits musical number, she's in it, but otherwise she is.

0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>She said, not again, I'm not I'm not I'm not

0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:58.719
<v Speaker 1>strapping into the overalls again. You can't pay me enough.

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I think she's in the overalls. I think she's absolutely

0:46:02.000 --> 0:46:04.520
<v Speaker 1>said the overalls and like all the time she jumped

0:46:04.560 --> 0:46:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in the air well. That's kind of like the iconic

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 1>image of the movie as her within the overalls, her

0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:14.640
<v Speaker 1>like spread like touching her toes. Oh my god, I

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 1>mean honestly, like I'd rather watch her in this than

0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:22.200
<v Speaker 1>her in prom Oh remember her that a thousand she was.

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean that the movie was rotten, and Meryl suffered

0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:28.040
<v Speaker 1>for that I feel, But like, what other musical has

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Merril done another musical? She was in the Mary Poppins movie.

0:46:35.400 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 1>What Yeah? Yeah, she was in the second the Mary

0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Poppins Movie with Emily Blunt. She had the topsy Turvy song.

0:46:42.200 --> 0:46:45.520
<v Speaker 1>She has an orange wig. Oh yeah, Oh she was great.

0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah she's slowly. I forgot it was It was a

0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:52.959
<v Speaker 1>it was a surprise cameo along with Angela Lansbery. Okay,

0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Phoebe wants to know what her favorite Meryl performances are

0:46:56.400 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 1>besides Sophie's Choice. I've actually never seen seeing Sophie's Choice

0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:03.560
<v Speaker 1>me either. I do not want to. I do not

0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:06.560
<v Speaker 1>wish to. Okay, favorite Meryl I'm looking at the IMDb

0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:09.479
<v Speaker 1>right now. We still haven't seen Silkwood. I still haven't

0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:12.080
<v Speaker 1>seen it. You still haven't seen it, right, let's watch

0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:18.200
<v Speaker 1>it together. Yeah. Oh it's complicated. Yeah, hands down, hands

0:47:18.239 --> 0:47:20.759
<v Speaker 1>down my favorite maryl performance. I don't even know if

0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm joking. Yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't think

0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm joking. It might be it's complicated. I fucking love

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that movie and her embodiment of that movie. I love

0:47:33.480 --> 0:47:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that for you? What about you? What about you? So

0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I know everyone's gonna expect me to say the dev

0:47:38.920 --> 0:47:42.759
<v Speaker 1>wors Prada, and she obviously is iconic in that, but

0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:46.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna throw you and say I prefer her in

0:47:46.640 --> 0:47:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Lemony Snickets, a series of unfortunate I say that I

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:54.359
<v Speaker 1>knew you were gonna period period And they also had

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer Coolidge, they had Oh it was that was a

0:47:58.040 --> 0:48:01.960
<v Speaker 1>place for legends. But Meryl is so good in that movie.

0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Jude Law, Jim Carrey, Right O'Hara, Joan Cusack, I think

0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Joan Cusack, John Cusack. I need to watch more John

0:48:16.680 --> 0:48:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Cusack movies. What's the what's the movie where she's a therapist? Oh,

0:48:21.800 --> 0:48:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it's Prime, where she's a therapist and Uma Thurman is

0:48:25.040 --> 0:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>fucking her son and Uma Thurman is her patient. What yeah,

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:37.480
<v Speaker 1>what yeah? Prime? It's not very good. No, No, I

0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:41.719
<v Speaker 1>mean god, I mean actually would watch. There are a

0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:43.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of merryl movies that I feel like I need

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to watch, starting with Sophie's Joyce. Evidently she really tears

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:51.360
<v Speaker 1>up these abba songs. Money, Money, Money is one of

0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the high points of the film for me, really, the

0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 1>whole beginning of the film, like Honey, Honey Tour, Money,

0:48:58.640 --> 0:49:03.759
<v Speaker 1>money Money, slade down Mamma Mia incredible, Like gim Me

0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:06.239
<v Speaker 1>gim Me Gimme is that No, Gimme Gimme gimmey is

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:09.520
<v Speaker 1>at the bachelorette party and it's kind of like almost

0:49:09.719 --> 0:49:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a background number, but it still tears. Any abba song

0:49:14.680 --> 0:49:17.759
<v Speaker 1>that repeats one word three times, you know, is gonna do.

0:49:17.920 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the magic formula, sister, that's the magic yes rule

0:49:22.719 --> 0:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>of threes basic. Basically, that's just chanting. That's that's witchcraft, witchcraft,

0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that's right. These songs are spells. Absolutely. Meryl's giving witch

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:35.600
<v Speaker 1>she has many times, as she has several times in

0:49:35.640 --> 0:49:39.800
<v Speaker 1>her career, well only only one one into the Woods

0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:45.360
<v Speaker 1>another musical adaptation that is not good and way worse

0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:48.440
<v Speaker 1>than Mamma Mia is she kind of she's kind of

0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:52.920
<v Speaker 1>witchy in Mary Poppins. Yeah, there's something you know, magical

0:49:53.040 --> 0:49:57.240
<v Speaker 1>going on. She's got miss Frizzle vibes in in that.

0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Holy fuck, she would slay as misfress plays any role

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.359
<v Speaker 1>live action Miss Frizzle. You know what there should be

0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought about today, total tangent. There should be a

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.000
<v Speaker 1>live action legend of Zelda. Did you ever like I've

0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:12.680
<v Speaker 1>never played, you know, I'm not I'm not a video

0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:15.480
<v Speaker 1>game girl. Yeah. Yeah, that's why. Honestly it should be

0:50:15.520 --> 0:50:17.680
<v Speaker 1>made from as a movie or series so that you

0:50:17.719 --> 0:50:19.960
<v Speaker 1>could consume the lore of it, because the lore is

0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:22.440
<v Speaker 1>really beautiful and all the characters are really hot and horny.

0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:26.399
<v Speaker 1>Do you think it's adaptable? Oh one hundred percent. Oh

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:28.640
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent. And they could cast like the hottest

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.919
<v Speaker 1>little twinks in all of these roles. They should cast

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:34.040
<v Speaker 1>an envy to be linked like it should be like

0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Emma Darcy or something like that. Link should be. There

0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:39.160
<v Speaker 1>should be a mashup and link should be link Larkin

0:50:39.320 --> 0:50:44.279
<v Speaker 1>from the movie Hairspray. Yes, yes, yes, they should cast

0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:47.239
<v Speaker 1>a woman like uh allah May Martin and Peter Pan.

0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Is that what her name is? May May Martin's the

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:55.160
<v Speaker 1>girl that famous May Martin one like Mary Martin. That's

0:50:55.200 --> 0:50:59.640
<v Speaker 1>so funny because I get that a lot. No, you're

0:50:59.640 --> 0:51:04.160
<v Speaker 1>think about Alison who played Peter Pan. That's really live

0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:07.160
<v Speaker 1>version which I never saw. Yeah, her name is Mary Martin.

0:51:07.200 --> 0:51:29.080
<v Speaker 1>She's iconic. I watched that musical a Ton Royal. Do

0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you remember anything else about like the time that you

0:51:31.600 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 1>found was like the time of a Mama Mia. You

0:51:34.120 --> 0:51:36.680
<v Speaker 1>like alluded to like being at you know, camp and

0:51:36.719 --> 0:51:40.239
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, like any other memory association or like

0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:43.320
<v Speaker 1>do you have an Alba breakup song? No, but ABBA's

0:51:43.400 --> 0:51:46.920
<v Speaker 1>definitely like the ABBA is definitely the music that I

0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:49.400
<v Speaker 1>put on, like on a trip, when you're like in

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a house of a bunch of people and you need

0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to put something on that's gonna please everyone. Abbas the

0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:58.759
<v Speaker 1>perfect go to, you know, like when you're like like

0:51:59.040 --> 0:52:02.920
<v Speaker 1>us in like Joshua Tree, making breakfast in the morning,

0:52:03.080 --> 0:52:05.680
<v Speaker 1>like you're putting on Apps, You're putting on Abba, You're

0:52:05.680 --> 0:52:10.960
<v Speaker 1>putting on Dolly Parton, You're putting on or Share. But

0:52:11.560 --> 0:52:16.200
<v Speaker 1>ABBA is really universal. Share Share is a little less.

0:52:16.760 --> 0:52:19.320
<v Speaker 1>The first three are like per yeah, a little more polarizing.

0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 1>The first three are like exactly what you described, this

0:52:21.680 --> 0:52:25.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like perfect like music that no one will

0:52:25.000 --> 0:52:27.719
<v Speaker 1>complain about. Shaw Day I feel is also in that category,

0:52:27.840 --> 0:52:32.080
<v Speaker 1>but different genre, completely different vibe. Yeah, and it's more

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:34.680
<v Speaker 1>evening when you're making dinner in the evening and everyone's

0:52:34.680 --> 0:52:39.640
<v Speaker 1>hanging out. Yeah, there should be a shaw Dai musical. Honestly,

0:52:40.520 --> 0:52:43.000
<v Speaker 1>your storyline be it would have to be the horniest

0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 1>fuckiest musical. Oh my god, I want to do that.

0:52:46.560 --> 0:52:48.600
<v Speaker 1>That would be what else would you want to make

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a musical of their music? Shaw Day really is a

0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 1>good one. It could honestly be like a trans story.

0:52:56.239 --> 0:52:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Of course, of course it could be you know what

0:52:58.719 --> 0:53:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like God, I don't know. Do you have

0:53:03.000 --> 0:53:06.680
<v Speaker 1>an immediate answer to that? I definitely feel like not. Well.

0:53:06.719 --> 0:53:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Ryan and I have joked for years that

0:53:09.560 --> 0:53:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Gaga should write a My best Friend's Wedding musical, but

0:53:13.080 --> 0:53:17.240
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be a jukebox musical my best friend's wedding.

0:53:17.480 --> 0:53:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I do think there could absolutely be a Madonna jukebox

0:53:20.719 --> 0:53:24.160
<v Speaker 1>musical that would be incredible. Yeah, it could never it

0:53:24.160 --> 0:53:27.200
<v Speaker 1>would never happen. No, it wouldn't ever happen. But I

0:53:27.680 --> 0:53:29.880
<v Speaker 1>still think if it could happened, it would be great

0:53:29.920 --> 0:53:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and she be just dropped in the chat tailor. A

0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:36.280
<v Speaker 1>tailor musical would be incredible. So many of her songs

0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:39.319
<v Speaker 1>are already stories. They are They're already stories. There you

0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:41.960
<v Speaker 1>could do. You could do a musical where act one

0:53:42.040 --> 0:53:45.359
<v Speaker 1>is ever Act one is folklore, Act two is ever more. Look,

0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:48.360
<v Speaker 1>just because in the words of what you're gonna do

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:51.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't necessarily what you think you're gonna do like that

0:53:51.200 --> 0:53:58.439
<v Speaker 1>is that the no I never want to do. Yeah,

0:53:58.719 --> 0:54:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like in the word the rue Paul,

0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:05.879
<v Speaker 1>we're all born clothed and the rest is piss. Yeah,

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:09.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that's actually I mean, that's that actually is true. Yeah. Oh,

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a Kate Bush jukebux musical. That's what I thought when

0:54:11.960 --> 0:54:14.799
<v Speaker 1>I saw that would be incredible. When I saw the

0:54:14.840 --> 0:54:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Weathering Heights quote unquote musical that was at San Anne's

0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:24.160
<v Speaker 1>warehouse last year, I was so shocked that it wasn't

0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:28.759
<v Speaker 1>a Kate Bush jukebox musical, because you absolutely could make

0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:32.359
<v Speaker 1>a Weathering Heights musical out of Kate Bush songs. Yeah,

0:54:33.160 --> 0:54:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and that is not what they did, but that should happen,

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and I would love, I would love to write the

0:54:39.480 --> 0:54:42.120
<v Speaker 1>book for it. All of our songs are so cinematic,

0:54:42.200 --> 0:54:46.680
<v Speaker 1>like so grotesque theater kid like powerful grotesque theater kad

0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:51.160
<v Speaker 1>like like ooky, spooky, Like the costumes would be immaculate

0:54:51.239 --> 0:54:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and like big and like like I don't know, like surrealist,

0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:56.840
<v Speaker 1>like Yeah, that would be really fun. And there were

0:54:56.880 --> 0:54:59.280
<v Speaker 1>so many numbers that would make great musical theater numbers

0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like what do you think is though? Like rubber Bond Girl.

0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:05.560
<v Speaker 1>What's the log line. The log line is, no, it's

0:55:05.600 --> 0:55:08.920
<v Speaker 1>it's Weathering Heights. Oh, it's just what it is, a

0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:12.400
<v Speaker 1>weathering It is a Weathering Heights musical with the songs

0:55:12.440 --> 0:55:15.839
<v Speaker 1>of Kate Bush. If you feel like you could thematically

0:55:15.920 --> 0:55:20.680
<v Speaker 1>align the lyrics with what's going on in every step

0:55:20.719 --> 0:55:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of that book. I don't even remember what the book

0:55:23.440 --> 0:55:27.040
<v Speaker 1>is like really about it's about, you know, I feel

0:55:27.040 --> 0:55:30.720
<v Speaker 1>like you've even summarized it for me before on the podcast. Yeah,

0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it's about lost multi generational love and all the twisted

0:55:37.640 --> 0:55:43.840
<v Speaker 1>ways it gets fucked up, death and longing. Yeah, it

0:55:43.920 --> 0:55:47.720
<v Speaker 1>is very dark. I mean, okay, So if I could write,

0:55:47.760 --> 0:55:49.960
<v Speaker 1>if I could do, if I could adapt a musical,

0:55:50.120 --> 0:55:55.319
<v Speaker 1>my first instinct was like Selena like King Tania like,

0:55:55.840 --> 0:56:00.600
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like that could be draggy. Don't be

0:56:00.640 --> 0:56:03.000
<v Speaker 1>mad at me. Yeah, no, that's that would be so fun.

0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's there's like a kind of yeah,

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm trying to ban drag. No, well, sometimes

0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you know it's sometimes I think drag. Well, actually, here's

0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:16.399
<v Speaker 1>something I think. Drag in musicals is often a bit

0:56:16.480 --> 0:56:19.080
<v Speaker 1>like choogy, Like it's not really it doesn't feel like

0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:21.719
<v Speaker 1>drag in any way, Like there hasn't actually been a

0:56:21.760 --> 0:56:26.200
<v Speaker 1>powerful or honest depiction of drag in a musical. I

0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:28.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean, you have Harris Andre, you have

0:56:28.360 --> 0:56:32.600
<v Speaker 1>La Kasha Foe, Lakaja Foe. I've never seen so but

0:56:33.200 --> 0:56:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Matilda apparently, I've actually never seen thee Buffs. I've only

0:56:37.480 --> 0:56:40.439
<v Speaker 1>seen the movie. But yeah, in the musical, trench Pull

0:56:40.600 --> 0:56:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is played by a man. What you didn't know that? Yeah,

0:56:44.840 --> 0:56:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of crazy, okay, I uh uh. Selena I

0:56:49.680 --> 0:56:51.160
<v Speaker 1>think would be really cute. I think there's like a

0:56:51.239 --> 0:56:54.560
<v Speaker 1>drag narrative there. I honestly like have like written I've

0:56:54.600 --> 0:56:57.120
<v Speaker 1>like I've I've always wanted to do something around in

0:56:57.239 --> 0:57:00.359
<v Speaker 1>narrative like that involves Selena and Selena fandom a true

0:57:00.440 --> 0:57:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Selena fan. But Donna Summer Musical would be incredible, Like

0:57:07.280 --> 0:57:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I would absolutely lose my mind honestly, just a musical,

0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a musical that is literally just bad girls, like like

0:57:17.560 --> 0:57:21.439
<v Speaker 1>just that album like that would be phenomenon because it's

0:57:21.480 --> 0:57:25.000
<v Speaker 1>like a full sequence album, like it's gorgeous, Like yeah,

0:57:25.040 --> 0:57:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a full story. I do think most divas have

0:57:29.120 --> 0:57:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the catalogs where you could make their their music into

0:57:33.840 --> 0:57:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a musical. That's why Titanique worked so well. Yes, I

0:57:38.880 --> 0:57:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you know a Share musical would be fab I mean

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:46.560
<v Speaker 1>nine the nine to five musical, a Dolly Parton jukebox

0:57:46.680 --> 0:57:50.440
<v Speaker 1>musical or did she write original music for it? I

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:52.440
<v Speaker 1>have no idea, but I do know that there is

0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:55.040
<v Speaker 1>a Share musical that I didn't see. But oh the

0:57:55.080 --> 0:57:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Share show, I heard it was horrible. I heard it

0:57:58.360 --> 0:58:02.200
<v Speaker 1>was great, but from fans. Well, I heard it from

0:58:02.360 --> 0:58:05.600
<v Speaker 1>people who like see a lot of musical theater and

0:58:05.680 --> 0:58:11.600
<v Speaker 1>said it was terrible. Also, Adele Adele would be a

0:58:11.600 --> 0:58:14.640
<v Speaker 1>great musical. It would be very sad. Yeah, it would

0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:18.360
<v Speaker 1>be so sad and then occasionally horny. Would you do

0:58:18.400 --> 0:58:21.600
<v Speaker 1>like a Fiona Apple musical or something like that? Sorry,

0:58:21.840 --> 0:58:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I think Fiona could write an original musical, but I

0:58:25.440 --> 0:58:29.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know about jukebox. Yeah, it's not you know, you

0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:32.760
<v Speaker 1>don't gather around the speaker to sing some Fiona Apple together.

0:58:33.520 --> 0:58:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a Whitney Houston musical Divas Again, that would fuck,

0:58:37.760 --> 0:58:43.760
<v Speaker 1>It would fuck and suck MGMT the musical, No, what

0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:48.680
<v Speaker 1>was that would be horrible? Yeah, we need a panic

0:58:48.720 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 1>of that. Discuss sky Perera a musical. But like, there's

0:58:52.680 --> 0:58:57.840
<v Speaker 1>no second act because you'll never release another album ever again. Oh, Brittany,

0:58:57.960 --> 0:59:00.680
<v Speaker 1>there is a Britney musical. I think it's Baby One

0:59:00.680 --> 0:59:04.480
<v Speaker 1>more Time. Yeah, it's like it's out also apparently bad.

0:59:05.520 --> 0:59:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I would love Panic of the Disco and a musical

0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that's just a fever you can't sweat out. Oh my god,

0:59:12.480 --> 0:59:19.080
<v Speaker 1>so hard because that is such such like narrative and

0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:22.160
<v Speaker 1>it's so pan sexual. It's like it would be the

0:59:22.160 --> 0:59:24.320
<v Speaker 1>most pan sexual ship. And he would write off on

0:59:24.400 --> 0:59:28.280
<v Speaker 1>it because you know he is pan He's bye. No,

0:59:28.360 --> 0:59:31.640
<v Speaker 1>he's famously pan I thought he was by but you

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:34.040
<v Speaker 1>would you would probably know better. I would know better.

0:59:34.280 --> 0:59:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't know for sure. But the last yeah,

0:59:36.320 --> 0:59:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Phoebe. Look it up, Phoebe. Everyone's bye. Okay,

0:59:40.880 --> 0:59:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Panic people dot com. Panic of the Disco's Brendan Ury

0:59:44.440 --> 0:59:47.320
<v Speaker 1>comes out as pan sexual. Period. Oh great, love that

0:59:47.480 --> 0:59:53.840
<v Speaker 1>for him. Yeah, anyways, I need to write that. You

0:59:53.920 --> 0:59:56.960
<v Speaker 1>do need to write that. I honestly, I like I

0:59:57.000 --> 1:00:00.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like he and I understand each other lyrically, dramat like,

1:00:01.040 --> 1:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>sensationally like I understand. I feel like I understand him

1:00:04.200 --> 1:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>as an artist. Do you know what I mean? Ah? God,

1:00:06.800 --> 1:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I've like, I've like really really I know we've talked

1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>about this during our Indiesley's episode, which everyone should listen to,

1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>but I've like really reconnected with that album. Like as

1:00:14.760 --> 1:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>of last year and this year, I'm still a fever.

1:00:16.320 --> 1:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>You can't sweat out a fever you can't sweat out. Yes,

1:00:18.480 --> 1:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm still listening to it. Yeah, that, I mean, there's

1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>such a narrative already built into it, and I would

1:00:24.880 --> 1:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>be there Opening Night with my flat iron bangs, my

1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>parachute pants. Okay, So who in who in Mamma Mia

1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>is bisexual? So definitely Stalone Scarsguard's character because he obviously

1:00:37.880 --> 1:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>hooks up with Colin Firth at some point. Christine seems

1:00:41.080 --> 1:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>like she would fuck anything for sure, and I think

1:00:43.800 --> 1:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>she and Meryll have probably hooked up. And Meryl is

1:00:46.680 --> 1:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the Meryl's Donna is the one who you think she

1:00:49.480 --> 1:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>would be by, but she's actually secretly extremely hetero and

1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>tries to pretend that the time she and Christine Baranski

1:00:58.400 --> 1:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>hooked up never happened. Really, she's also a terf I

1:01:03.640 --> 1:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like she's giving lesbian. I'm saying Amanda Seyfried's fiance bisexual.

1:01:08.960 --> 1:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Obviously all of the Greek chorus members are bisexual. They

1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>probably all pumped up like on production totally. The young

1:01:15.880 --> 1:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>guy who wants to fuck Christine Baranski is gay and

1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that's why he's like chasing Christine because he wants to

1:01:22.920 --> 1:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>fuck her. He's gay. He's like yes, He's like, I

1:01:27.840 --> 1:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>don't belong here. Off, get me off this island and

1:01:31.920 --> 1:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>give me off this bye island. Afridaites fountain bisexual. What's that?

1:01:37.400 --> 1:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>It's the fountain that explodes the end of the movie

1:01:39.840 --> 1:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>when they're all dancing. Meryl goes, yeah. At the beginning

1:01:45.480 --> 1:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>of the movie, they're like, there's legends that aphrodities fountain

1:01:48.320 --> 1:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>is on this island and then it explodes at the end.

1:01:51.920 --> 1:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Is the musical kind of magical? No, but it's just

1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of gave magic for me, and it was kind

1:01:57.840 --> 1:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of confusing. I was like, is this supposed to be

1:01:59.800 --> 1:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>like a magical realism. I'm not. It's just another like

1:02:02.920 --> 1:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>musical theater logic thing. It's like, oh my god, the fountain,

1:02:06.320 --> 1:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, okay, okay, And it's a Chekhov's gun, you

1:02:09.000 --> 1:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>know they mentioned at the beginning, so it has to

1:02:10.880 --> 1:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I am the boom boom gun at the end exactly. Yeah,

1:02:13.920 --> 1:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>oh god, I can't. I literally like this musical is

1:02:18.440 --> 1:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>so confusing, and I feel like it's actually extremely simple.

1:02:22.480 --> 1:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>It is very easy, easy premise, no correct, right, It's

1:02:26.400 --> 1:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>really actually extremely simple. It's just like the tale is

1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>all the time. It's confusing how it all came together

1:02:32.600 --> 1:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and got made the way it was made. That's why

1:02:36.920 --> 1:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>it's beautiful, because it's psycho it's and it just works

1:02:40.680 --> 1:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>so well. The casting is Bzonkers. It is you know

1:02:44.880 --> 1:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>how you always talk about people's Q score like Mom

1:02:47.720 --> 1:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and me at the musical has a Q score of

1:02:49.960 --> 1:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know whatever is high, but it has like

1:02:52.880 --> 1:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a similar C score to Adele yeah to ad In

1:02:56.320 --> 1:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the music it is universally beloved international sense say Mama Mia.

1:03:01.240 --> 1:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>The musical is the Dbadal herself. And as we always say,

1:03:06.720 --> 1:03:19.720
