Speaker 2: to the show. It's the brilliant. It's Louise Tayler.
Speaker 3: I was worried outside.
Speaker 1: Hi, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: It was going to be like, she's on Facebook, she's
Speaker 4: got on Instagram.
Speaker 2: She's heard of Twitter, she's not been verified.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. Oh thanks for that introduction. That's amazing.
Speaker 2: She is Lou We never met, that's the first time
Speaker 2: we met. But you're very very funny and my favorite
Speaker 2: thing that you do. You do things. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you do it everywhere, but I've only see it
Speaker 2: on Instagram where it's it's like nineties girls and yep, boy,
Speaker 2: is it some funny ship? Is it funny and true?
Speaker 2: And it's really like profound in a way because it
Speaker 2: makes you go, God, we really come a long way,
Speaker 2: haven't we.
Speaker 1: Yes something I.
Speaker 4: Think I'm like, part of it is I suppose you
Speaker 4: had to be there. It's like one of them. I
Speaker 4: feel like when I put them off, they are for
Speaker 4: a very specific group of people that grew up in
Speaker 4: the nineties sort of in the UK.
Speaker 3: But I love making them. They do well, Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 2: But I also do think that they're like maybe it's
Speaker 2: that thing that we always talk about on this show
Speaker 2: of like they're very specific, very very specific. So I
Speaker 2: think they're more universal than you think they are.
Speaker 3: Oh really do think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because of that specificity that if it isn't
Speaker 2: in the same way I always say, like Ladybird feels
Speaker 2: like my life. It's nothing like my life, but it's
Speaker 2: so specific, it's sort of universal. The emotions of it,
Speaker 2: the feelings of what you mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand what you mean.
Speaker 2: And you and the boy in the garden smoking a
Speaker 2: cigarette and doing Titanic Titanic one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's by far my favorite one. That's the
Speaker 4: one I by far put the most effort into it.
Speaker 4: You know. I tried to get all the montage scene right,
Speaker 4: they're like the during of the like that superheroes that
Speaker 4: every kid used to do in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was that with Superman?
Speaker 3: Was it Superman? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Superman or it's super Ted depending on who was your
Speaker 2: gateway to flaying people, and.
Speaker 4: Everyone would like the labs at school would all like
Speaker 4: carve it into desks with their like compass, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean.
Speaker 3: It was everywhere. Yeah, I enjoyed making that one.
Speaker 1: How long you been doing comedy? What got you into
Speaker 1: all this?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 4: I always liked making people laugh, Like I was always
Speaker 4: into that. And then I think I moved to London
Speaker 4: and got a job like in the media, just sort
Speaker 4: of like as a runner, and I was like, and
Speaker 4: I met a group of people that were like making
Speaker 4: funny comedy videos just like themselves, and I thought, God,
Speaker 4: I can do this.
Speaker 3: I want to do this.
Speaker 4: So I sort of started making like this is one
Speaker 4: like YouTube was everyone was on YouTube. It was before
Speaker 4: like Instagram reels and all that stuff. So I'd make
Speaker 4: funny videos and I was like, maybe I'll just get
Speaker 4: into comedy writing and acting and maybe that's my thing.
Speaker 4: But then I got a job working at the Bill Murray,
Speaker 4: which is a comedy club in Islington.
Speaker 3: It well, and then I work there as like a.
Speaker 4: Stage manager for like about three and a half years,
Speaker 4: and I was too scared to do standard, but I
Speaker 4: really wanted to try it, and everyone was always sort
Speaker 4: of trying to convince me to do it, and I
Speaker 4: was like, no, I think i'd hate it. And then
Speaker 4: eventually I sort of decided i'd do like a course
Speaker 4: along with a lot of other people that hadn't done
Speaker 4: it before, you know, just to try it. And I
Speaker 4: absolutely loved it. And then I was like, oh, Okay,
Speaker 4: this is okay, this is it. This is what I
Speaker 4: should have been doing this whole time. Then it was
Speaker 4: the pandemic, so I'd only done it like for a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, and I was like, oh shit, I
Speaker 4: really like doing this.
Speaker 3: And then I couldn't do it for ages.
Speaker 4: But then so technically I've only really been doing stand
Speaker 4: up now for about two years because I started properly
Speaker 4: in like twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: I reckon wow, but I love it.
Speaker 1: Firstly, what were you a runner on?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: So I was a runner at like it was like
Speaker 4: a post production house. We'd all be based in a
Speaker 4: little kitchen and then all the editors would call up
Speaker 4: the kitchen and ask for like tea and toast, and
Speaker 4: we would like make them tea and toast and take
Speaker 4: it to them.
Speaker 3: It was mussive.
Speaker 4: There was loads of us, so it was like going
Speaker 4: to UNI. It was just like one of those jobs.
Speaker 4: But it's just everyone's young, and it was. It was,
Speaker 4: but but at a bunch of people that were like
Speaker 4: all sorts of jobs.
Speaker 3: And I think that's what opened my eyes a bit too.
Speaker 1: Were you treated well as a runner most.
Speaker 4: Of the time you got you had some assholes, You
Speaker 4: had some masholes, like people sent toast back. It was
Speaker 4: warm just like yeah if it was if it was
Speaker 4: not spread correctly, they're liking. Yeah, yeah, you had some
Speaker 4: I don't want to say who there was. There was
Speaker 4: a specific show that was they were a little bit annoying,
Speaker 4: but give.
Speaker 1: Us a clue.
Speaker 2: So funny if you go it's about football x X
Speaker 2: men X macin a X, what's the big X TV
Speaker 2: show x x fos X extra expected expector.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of them were quite sense expected.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like they weren't really bad, but yeah, some of
Speaker 3: them were a bit diverish. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: Well, the show is, you know, in fairness, not unforgiving
Speaker 2: the behavior, but the show demands that behave. The show
Speaker 2: is cultivating that behavior.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Yeah, they had to sort of act
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Like so at least they're on brand. You know.
Speaker 2: I think one of the problems of doing something where
Speaker 2: the message of the show is sort of kindness and
Speaker 2: niceness is you have to then have to be double that,
Speaker 2: whereas he makes it like expect you can.
Speaker 4: Just be Basically, they were like having for breakfast. Those
Speaker 4: guys didn't what they wanted.
Speaker 2: What was my second question? And my second question was
Speaker 2: your very first stand up gig? Tell me that and
Speaker 2: how scary was it, how amazing was it?
Speaker 1: And what was it?
Speaker 4: I did the course at the Bill Murray, and I
Speaker 4: sort of felt like once I got on.
Speaker 3: Stage, I was scared beforehands.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but actually once I got on stage, I was
Speaker 4: like kind of felt quite zen.
Speaker 3: So that's weird.
Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting that because I've worked, I'd watched so
Speaker 4: much stand up comedy from where at the club. I
Speaker 4: think I must have learned a thing or two just
Speaker 4: from watching it for years, because it sort of felt
Speaker 4: like I didn't do any of the like probably common
Speaker 4: mistakes that people like. It felt like it didn't feel
Speaker 4: like it was my first kick, do you know what
Speaker 4: I mean? It felt like quite naturally, but like it
Speaker 4: was really scary, really scary.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did you from watching for three and a half years
Speaker 2: stand up every day every night? Is there anything like
Speaker 2: you can in a sort of summary ways say like
Speaker 2: what's it like that? Did you get sick of people's acts?
Speaker 2: Was it interesting watching people develop where the things you hated?
Speaker 2: Did you get to like I hate this sort of
Speaker 2: thing or was there things that you loved? Like how
Speaker 2: is it just watching it every night?
Speaker 4: What I hated about it was I stopped laughing. So
Speaker 4: I used to laugh a lot at comedy, but then
Speaker 4: I sort of I would see the same a lot
Speaker 4: of the same stuff over and over again, and it
Speaker 4: was it did keep worrying like that. I'd step out
Speaker 4: the room like a lot because I was like, I've
Speaker 4: seen this like every night. But the thing that bothered
Speaker 4: me the most was like, I don't laugh at comedy
Speaker 4: anymore unless it was really funny, like crazy funny.
Speaker 1: Would you go like that's funny, that's funny, that's funny.
Speaker 3: I'd sort of just go huh, which is like instead
Speaker 3: of which is not what you want? Like, that's not
Speaker 3: what I want to you know what I mean. Now
Speaker 3: I'm a bit better.
Speaker 4: I'm a bit better at laughing now, Like I see
Speaker 4: it still because I perform a lot and see other people,
Speaker 4: but I'm not there like having it drilled into me
Speaker 4: every night, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I do enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I do like watching it it drilled into you.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, And I'm glad that I was
Speaker 4: forced to try it because now I love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fucking great. And the sketches and stuff that's
Speaker 2: a side hustle.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like something I've enjoyed doing for a while.
Speaker 4: I sort of I want to make it like I'd
Speaker 4: love it.
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of people do really well from
Speaker 3: that stuff.
Speaker 4: But I think I'm not consistent with it, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like, I'll make a bunch, I'll release them,
Speaker 4: and then it's like a good six months of me
Speaker 4: going right, I should probably think about doing some more.
Speaker 2: Which is, you're an artist. You're a true artist. You're
Speaker 2: not driven by algorithms and deadlines and.
Speaker 3: No, god, no, no, I'm artist.
Speaker 1: You're a fucking artist, Lou Lou.
Speaker 2: Oh no fuck. Oh look at this. I forgot to
Speaker 2: tell you something. I should have told you this. I
Speaker 2: should have told you this earlier. Let me just I
Speaker 2: wish we could rewind these things so I didn't waste
Speaker 2: any of your time.
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is awkward. I barely know you. You
Speaker 1: just say you've died.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right in the beginning of my career.
Speaker 2: Just as we were coming out of the In a way,
Speaker 2: it feels like that's two signs. You know, you start
Speaker 2: stand up and then a pandemic happens, and then you
Speaker 2: go back to stand up and you die.
Speaker 4: It's almost that's really disappointing.
Speaker 1: Actually, how did you die?
Speaker 3: Do you know?
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that the same wasp or there's a
Speaker 4: WASP family that is really out to get me and
Speaker 4: I think I've never been stung, but I'm absolutely petrified wasps.
Speaker 4: But there's always a wasp at my window, always, even
Speaker 4: in the winter. There's always a wasp trying to get me.
Speaker 4: And I'm so fast, I'm too quick for them. That
Speaker 4: I've never actually been stung, but I think that I'll
Speaker 4: be severely allergic. And I think that's why I'm so
Speaker 4: scared of them, because my instinct is telling me to run.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a wasp sting that
Speaker 3: gets me.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Jaws the revenge Jaws For?
Speaker 3: If I have, I can't remember it well.
Speaker 2: The premise is that the shark in Jaws for is
Speaker 2: after the Brady family because they killed one of their own,
Speaker 2: and it's Jaws is out for reveng Gews knows who
Speaker 2: the family are, just followed them that it is out
Speaker 2: to get Like, what's for the revenge? My question is
Speaker 2: in the Jaws, you know the Jaws, which which makes
Speaker 2: perfect logical sense. You know the shark's been following them
Speaker 2: because it killed you. Remember the family absolutely fine? In
Speaker 2: your case, why this wasp family out to get you?
Speaker 2: Figured forever? What did you do to the original wasp?
Speaker 4: I don't know, because I've never killed a wasp, unless
Speaker 4: I did when I was little, but I don't think
Speaker 4: i've done anything. I think they can sense the fear,
Speaker 4: and I think they're all horrible, and they're because I'm
Speaker 4: so scared.
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, okay, we've got to get this one.
Speaker 3: I've got to get this girl here.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 2: I've got to say hearing you talk about what's in
Speaker 2: this way, like, yeah, you've not injured them, but.
Speaker 1: You've slagged them off quite a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love that.
Speaker 2: Your assumption is that they're rude and horrible and they're
Speaker 2: kind of, well, fuck you, then we'll kill you.
Speaker 1: That's their act.
Speaker 3: Do you not think they're rude and horrible?
Speaker 2: Ah, listen, I'm not getting involved. This is between you
Speaker 2: and the wasp. I'm just curious as to why this
Speaker 2: family has been stalking to you for years and years.
Speaker 4: It's either the same family or the same was or
Speaker 4: it's just that I attract wasps in general.
Speaker 2: So they sense your weakness that you will die if yeah,
Speaker 2: that you're scared and you'll die, and they're like.
Speaker 4: Like, I will go to someone's Like I went to
Speaker 4: Edinburgh to the fringe to be a tech and I
Speaker 4: went up there and the room that I was staying
Speaker 4: in had a wasp nest in it. Like there's always
Speaker 4: something to do with wasps around me in my life,
Speaker 4: and Christmas Day there's been like a wasp in my bedroom,
Speaker 4: like Christmas days that's.
Speaker 3: Really fucking fucked up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rude, Like, no, do you know what? I
Speaker 2: am starting to think it is targeted?
Speaker 1: Do you? So it's like fun for them. They're like
Speaker 1: she's so weak.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and people around me have noticed it, They're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's why is there a wasp?
Speaker 3: It like it's like not the time for it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's Christmas Day there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you know the age that this was finally gets here?
Speaker 2: Sixty sixty? Yeah, good age, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sixty, I'm fine with that. Well I'm not sixty is
Speaker 4: probably I reckon.
Speaker 1: Are you with people around people? On your own?
Speaker 2: And this was like, what is the worst finally goes
Speaker 2: that's the time. Having toyed with you for sixty years.
Speaker 4: I think maybe I'm feeling like really sad and I'm
Speaker 4: like sat on a chair like by myself, and I
Speaker 4: see this wasp and I just think, you know what,
Speaker 4: it's time, and I just really, like like I shed
Speaker 4: like a single tear and I just let the worst
Speaker 4: sing me, and then I.
Speaker 2: Go, oh wow, this is kind of beautiful, like the
Speaker 2: worst also, like because is it the worst die when
Speaker 2: they sing you?
Speaker 1: Is that that's just.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately because it would be great if we would both
Speaker 3: die together. Maybe that happens. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe in this case, the murder suicide, maybe the worst
Speaker 2: was Also I've just been following you forever and it's
Speaker 2: like he.
Speaker 3: Can finally rest. Well now that he's done that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like sort of like the end of heat.
Speaker 2: But they both both die. Yeah, it's kind of moving.
Speaker 2: Do you worry about death?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I am a big death worrier.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I have like quite bad health anxiety, and I don't
Speaker 4: really know if that's about death, but I certainly worry
Speaker 4: about my loved ones dying a lot to the point
Speaker 4: of their life just fucking give it a rest, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like I'm quite vocal about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If like I.
Speaker 4: Try and call my mum and she hasn't answer straight
Speaker 4: away or something like that, I mean I am completely
Speaker 4: straight to the worst, phoning around worrying everyone.
Speaker 3: She's just at same freeze. You know, she didn't bring
Speaker 3: her phone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I also like, I don't really want to die,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm having a good time sort of for
Speaker 4: the most part.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm scared of death for sure, but
Speaker 4: I'm not scared of the nothingness.
Speaker 1: Is that what you think happens nothing?
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I'm not. I don't want to think that.
Speaker 4: I wish that I was a more spiritual person. Actually,
Speaker 4: like I think that we can live on in the
Speaker 4: hearts and minds of others. I think, but I actually
Speaker 4: never say never. So I completely don't want to say
Speaker 4: there's not anything, but I don't think that there is.
Speaker 2: Probably so when you live on in the hearts and
Speaker 2: minds of others, you're not sort of part of that,
Speaker 2: as in, your consciousness is no part of that. Like
Speaker 2: you're gude, people are talking about you, but you're.
Speaker 3: No that I think about it.
Speaker 4: No, Maybe I don't know, because like I've had a
Speaker 4: loved one dyeing, I sort of still I sort of
Speaker 4: talk to them and I like picture them talking back
Speaker 4: to me. So maybe maybe there is a consciousness I
Speaker 4: don't know, because maybe they are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you awaken that consciousness every time you talk
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I certainly don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's like a heaven necessarily like the
Speaker 4: one you picture when you're little.
Speaker 3: I don't think that.
Speaker 1: How is the one you picture when you're little?
Speaker 3: Was it like do you.
Speaker 4: Remember the Philadelphia adverts where they're like, yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 4: or Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, that sort of white,
Speaker 4: big like pillars, you know, very white, that sort of
Speaker 4: I think it's probably what I pitched when I was young.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't think it's that now.
Speaker 1: What do you think it's now?
Speaker 4: Honestly, And I'm not just saying this because I'm on
Speaker 4: a film podcast. I would love to just be lying
Speaker 4: around with my friends and family watching films, sort of
Speaker 4: eating nice foods. I'd be allowed to have gluten because
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 1: Now right, Yeah, gluting everywhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can have gluten in heaven. I can have
Speaker 4: pasta pasta. I'm eating a lot of pasta.
Speaker 2: Listen up, Lou, great news. It's real, the place you
Speaker 2: dreamed of, heaven pasta. Gluten to the max doesn't affect
Speaker 2: you in any way. If anything, it's makes you less full,
Speaker 2: zero zero wind nothing. Yeah, you lie on pasta bakes
Speaker 2: that have cooled, and your loved ones and your friends
Speaker 2: and family, and everyone is so excited to see you.
Speaker 2: Oh they're big fads, and they would to talk about
Speaker 2: your life. But the weird thing is they won't talk
Speaker 2: about your life, only through the medium of film. And
Speaker 2: the first thing they ask you is, what's the first
Speaker 2: film you remember seeing?
Speaker 1: Taylor?
Speaker 4: So I had an original answer to this, but I
Speaker 4: decided to use it for another question. So I'm going
Speaker 4: to say another first film that I remember seeing, which
Speaker 4: is The Land Before Time?
Speaker 1: Excellent? Don't believe excellent?
Speaker 3: That's a crier. That is a crier?
Speaker 1: Is a crier?
Speaker 2: I mentioned this before. There's so many Land Before Time sequels.
Speaker 2: It's a whole franchise.
Speaker 3: Seen the first one.
Speaker 2: At some point I'm always like, hasn't it caught up
Speaker 2: with time? Shouldn't it sort of be the land now?
Speaker 3: Just the land?
Speaker 1: It's about time now this lands.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen any of the sequels. I've seen the
Speaker 4: first I just watched.
Speaker 1: Maybe not forty lot.
Speaker 3: There was just one really cute that's I had no idea.
Speaker 1: What's the story.
Speaker 2: It's like the incredible journey, right, little Dinosaur's got yeah.
Speaker 4: To the dinosaur loses them mum. And then they meet
Speaker 4: up with some other little dinosaurs that don't have any mothers,
Speaker 4: and they're trying to get to like the ballet, this
Speaker 4: like ballet, and no one really knows where it is
Speaker 4: or how to get there, but they've just heard of
Speaker 4: it and they're just hoping that it exists, and they
Speaker 4: basically go on in an adventure I think. And then
Speaker 4: but then it was the like not having the losing
Speaker 4: of the mother bit I think was quite upsetting for
Speaker 4: me as a child. But I did watch it. I
Speaker 4: think I watched it a lot. I was always asking
Speaker 4: to put it on.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: Do you have siblings?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: How many?
Speaker 3: One one younger sister? Yeah? She has my best friend.
Speaker 4: Ah, yeah, she's my bestie younger she is four and
Speaker 4: a half years younger than me.
Speaker 1: And where did you grow up?
Speaker 3: Where was this in Leamington's Bar?
Speaker 1: You lived there? Median podcast?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've chatted to him about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, riddle me this, yeah, land before time. Did
Speaker 2: you watch it at cinema on the on the video?
Speaker 4: No, I think, because I think it came out only
Speaker 4: like two years after I was born.
Speaker 3: It being on TV on around Christmas quite a lot.
Speaker 4: I feel like it was always on at Christmas or
Speaker 4: we had we had it taped off the teleg on
Speaker 4: VHS and we would like watch it around Christmas.
Speaker 1: I think you're right, it was a Christmas movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I feel like I would get really excited
Speaker 4: when it was coming on and then I would just
Speaker 4: spend the whole time crying. But like, yeah, I remember
Speaker 4: like taping it and then begging my mum to watch
Speaker 4: it again and again, like I loved it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the what's the film that made you cry
Speaker 1: the most? Do you like?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a big crier, So any film with an
Speaker 4: old man in it makes me really sob so like
Speaker 4: I actually and I know that sounds really it's like
Speaker 4: almost quite patronized, but I just it's like, you know that,
Speaker 4: so one of the this isn't the film I'm going
Speaker 4: to choose, but you know the scene in Shawshank Redemption
Speaker 4: where the old boy gets let out of prison and
Speaker 4: he's trying to make his way in society. I actually
Speaker 4: can't watch that. I will be like sobbing into a pillow,
Speaker 4: have to leave the room. People are laughing at me
Speaker 4: because they think it's really funny that I'm crying that much.
Speaker 4: But it's like something about old man. I don't know
Speaker 4: what it is, but it really like any film, even
Speaker 4: if it's not a sad film.
Speaker 2: It's weird. You can't watch films without man and I
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 4: No, But the film that's made me cry probably the
Speaker 4: most is Stepmom.
Speaker 1: Fuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's why it exists, right, that's a film
Speaker 2: made here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so that is a weeper.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, if I need to have, if I.
Speaker 4: Need to cry, like and I want a really big cry,
Speaker 4: if I put that on, that would do the job.
Speaker 3: Like it's so it's like oh for me, and my
Speaker 3: mom reminds me.
Speaker 4: My mom reminds me of Season Surrounding as well, So
Speaker 4: I think the connection that it like watching it growing up,
Speaker 4: it kind of felt.
Speaker 3: Like she was like, my mom gets me.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, what about being scared? Do you like being scared? No?
Speaker 4: Absolutely hate it, like with passion hate it. I even
Speaker 4: watched like, I think there was an advertisement on Telly
Speaker 4: last night. I was just watching Telly, and I don't
Speaker 4: think they should be able to advertise horror films just
Speaker 4: on like normal scheduled programming. I saw her a said
Speaker 4: it last night, and I got so cross that I
Speaker 4: actually like googled whether other people were cross about it
Speaker 4: as well, and then I ended up on Reddit and
Speaker 4: I was reading all these things about people being really
Speaker 4: upset that they had to see this really dumpy advert
Speaker 4: right before beds.
Speaker 3: Like I don't like being scared.
Speaker 4: But when I was young, there was a girl that
Speaker 4: lived across the street and her parents didn't supervise this
Speaker 4: like all that well, and she had all of the
Speaker 4: Nightmare on Elm Street films that I watched them when
Speaker 4: I was really really young, like too young, and I
Speaker 4: was scared, but I wasn't as scared as.
Speaker 3: I maybe would be now.
Speaker 4: And like I remember, like I went to school and
Speaker 4: I was telling the kids, the other kids at school
Speaker 4: that there was a guy with nice for fingers that
Speaker 4: lived in the house office at the school. And I
Speaker 4: think some of the I think the teacher had to
Speaker 4: call my mum to be like, yeah, Louise.
Speaker 3: Is saying some pret weod stuff.
Speaker 4: And then when my mum asked me about it, she's
Speaker 4: like it turned out I'd been watching Nightmare on Elm
Speaker 4: Street at the girl's house across the street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I did.
Speaker 4: I wasn't as terrified of them back then, but now
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, no. That The scariest film
Speaker 4: I ever saw was at the cinema because I got
Speaker 4: like dupes into going to watch a film and I
Speaker 4: didn't think we were going to watch a horror film.
Speaker 4: I thought we were going to watch a different film.
Speaker 4: And when I got to the cinema, all the girls
Speaker 4: were like, oh, yeah, we're going to watch Sinister, and
Speaker 4: like it was like I could have vomited. I was
Speaker 4: so scared. I was like it was vile, so they
Speaker 4: going treat me into going. I think there was one
Speaker 4: scene that I actually fully screamed, like screamed, and everyone
Speaker 4: in the cinema turned around and was like sort of
Speaker 4: laughing at me, and I had my jacket over my
Speaker 4: face for the most of them, Like and I just
Speaker 4: really didn't enjoy it, Like I don't enjoy being that scared,
Speaker 4: and like jump, I don't like to jump, right, I'd
Speaker 4: rather see the gore than like but that, even the
Speaker 4: like the suspense, I just can't handle it.
Speaker 3: It's like I just can't do it.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the stuff I like. I don't like
Speaker 1: the girl.
Speaker 3: I don't like the either.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not a fan of it. I don't love it.
Speaker 4: So I remember also another film that really I watched
Speaker 4: Psycho really young as well, and I was in Canada
Speaker 4: and my mum's Canadian. I was in Canada, and we
Speaker 4: have Canadians like because I think it's probably or it
Speaker 4: was cheaper to buy land over there because it's so
Speaker 4: much land. Canadians all have like a summer like cabin
Speaker 4: that they sort of go to, and my family have
Speaker 4: one and it's out. It's really remote. There's nothing around,
Speaker 4: and like you have to get to it on a ferry.
Speaker 4: And this is for pre like when we had phone
Speaker 4: and we had no phones, they're no internet.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I'm quite young, and I watched Psycho with my cousin
Speaker 4: and like the hadn't shocked me so much when he
Speaker 4: turns his mother around, It's like I wasn't expecting it
Speaker 4: because I was so young, and I like I just
Speaker 4: couldn't but I think I might cried or something. And
Speaker 4: then I had to walk outside, had to go to
Speaker 4: my bedroom, which is I had to get to it
Speaker 4: via the outside, and it was like pitch back and
Speaker 4: it's like no, all you can do is like crickets
Speaker 4: and it's like no, thanks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think when me and my ex went to see
Speaker 2: Sixth Sense, we went to see six Cents in America,
Speaker 2: like we'd gone like on our first holiday together, and
Speaker 2: we went to America and we saw Sixth Sense and
Speaker 2: it was before anyone knew what success. We didn't know
Speaker 2: what it was like. And the man in the hotel
Speaker 2: and said, oh, that's a good film. I see that,
Speaker 2: and I think we were so scared we cried. I remember, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: so sort of emotional about it. Anyway, what is the
Speaker 2: film that you love? People don't like it, critics hate it,
Speaker 2: but you love it forever. I think you've got a
Speaker 2: good web for this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I didn't. I'm going to say, well, I've
Speaker 4: got a couple. I've got a couple. So I will
Speaker 4: say that Grease Too is definitely one of them because.
Speaker 3: One of the best on the songs are they're up
Speaker 3: there with that. They're so good.
Speaker 4: I will listen to cool Rider just on my way
Speaker 4: to work, like, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2: I put the Grease to soundtrack next to Beethoven's Fish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so good. Reproduction, Oh my god, the.
Speaker 4: Greatest and the song where he's trying to like get
Speaker 4: her to have sex with him. Because that one profound, Yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 4: I like I've shown friends Grease too, and they've all
Speaker 4: sort of been like, Wow, you really love this?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4: Michelle Fifer is just what the best thing of at it?
Speaker 4: Michelle Faiffer. Yeah, so that one definitely. But also I
Speaker 4: love the film mana Lisa Smile.
Speaker 2: With Julia Roberts Art. It's like art fraud or she's
Speaker 2: a teacher. It's inspiration the teaching film.
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's set in there.
Speaker 4: I think it's set in the like early nineteen fifties
Speaker 4: Connecticut or somewhere like that. It's like it's like set
Speaker 4: like a posh girls school and all of the girls
Speaker 4: are basically being It's like they go to this school.
Speaker 4: It's like a finishing school and they're but it's under
Speaker 4: the guys that they're getting this like hoity toity education,
Speaker 4: when actually they're just teaching them like yeah, after this,
Speaker 4: you'll probably just go and be a wife, wife and
Speaker 4: a mother anyway, And you know, I think it's a
Speaker 4: really beautiful setting. I love those sort of period films.
Speaker 3: Anyway. The cast is great. I think it's a really
Speaker 3: good film, but it's really like the critics did not
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2: I think my assumption and I love an inspiration of
Speaker 2: the teaching film. I just assumed it was sort of
Speaker 2: an average teacher film. Yeah, I mean, and maybe that's it.
Speaker 3: I don't know, because because I've just always loved it,
Speaker 3: so I can't really pull it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it's maybe the reason it's not loved is
Speaker 4: like maybe it's not feminist enough or something.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was just because it was Julia Robertson. She
Speaker 2: was very successful and people are horrible for no reason.
Speaker 2: Maybe it is a bloody masterpiece.
Speaker 4: And Kirsten Dance is playing like an unlikable person, which
Speaker 4: I think she plays a likable.
Speaker 3: Person in a lot of films.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and yeah, I just think I love it, and
Speaker 4: I love the costume, and I love the where it's set.
Speaker 4: And those sorts of films I can just like, you know,
Speaker 4: Sunday afternoon, they just they actually relax me, those sorts
Speaker 4: of films, just like, Yeah, it's a nice story.
Speaker 2: Who directed it, and Mike New. It's Mike New who
Speaker 2: is a very good director. Yeah, I love it, very
Speaker 2: good director. He did for wedders in the Funeral.
Speaker 3: That's another on one favorite films.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.
Speaker 1: I believe that's.
Speaker 4: Where because I'm also Yeah, so now you're naming films
Speaker 4: that I love.
Speaker 1: That he's your favorite director. Basically I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that he directed those ones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's on my list of like people that are
Speaker 2: sort of underrated. When you go, God, he's done a
Speaker 2: real mix. You do fucking Donny Brasco. He did Pushing Tin.
Speaker 2: He did Into the West. I love Into the West.
Speaker 2: I mean he's good, he's good. Fair place with him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he did Prince of Persia, The Sounds of Time obviously
Speaker 2: your favorite, and The Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
Speaker 3: I love that one as well.
Speaker 1: He's your favorite director because that's another one.
Speaker 3: That's another one where it's like a periody sort of. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I like that. I like this guy.
Speaker 1: He's your guy, He's my guy. He's your favorite filmmaker.
Speaker 2: What is a film on the other hand that you
Speaker 2: used to love but you've voiced it recently?
Speaker 1: You've got that boy. I don't like this anymore.
Speaker 4: I have like two actually and they're kind of silly films.
Speaker 4: But the scary Movieranchise.
Speaker 3: I don't love it anymore, but I used to really
Speaker 3: love it. I thought it was the funniest thing in
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: And I was young me too. I haven't checked back
Speaker 2: in my head a bit of it.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: It's so sad because now I watch it, I'm like,
Speaker 4: it's just it just doesn't really make me laugh anymore.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like I genuinely used to think, and
Speaker 1: the fairy should have great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so funny, she's really funny.
Speaker 2: She is such a committed performance, like she's really committed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very good what she's doing.
Speaker 3: It's a shame.
Speaker 4: Actually, I just watched it and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm not that asked about it anymore, right, But I
Speaker 4: also I don't know if it's it just has probably
Speaker 4: has an age.
Speaker 1: That well, yeah, comedy really does. No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so scary movie, but I didn't see that. I
Speaker 4: saw one and two, and I thought both of them
Speaker 4: were really good. When the second one especially, actually I
Speaker 4: thought it was really good. It's great with the caretaker.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but yeah, I sort of tried to watch
Speaker 4: them recently and then like got a bit bored actually
Speaker 4: so and also miss congeniality really yeah, it was. It's
Speaker 4: too misogynist for me to like even get on board
Speaker 4: with now, just like that.
Speaker 3: She's like just the way that they are with her.
Speaker 4: Is like I just can't can't handle it. It's just
Speaker 4: I watched it recently and I was like, it's like
Speaker 4: it's watchable still, but it's like I was every five
Speaker 4: minutes men my friends looking into the role and go,
Speaker 4: oh my god.
Speaker 3: You notice it when you rewatch it. Now you notice it?
Speaker 1: How who are with her? The pageant people.
Speaker 4: Just everyone like like she's just like pull her ugly
Speaker 4: and she's ever wait all the time, she summed a bullet,
Speaker 4: she's hot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those things are when the A in the Hollywood
Speaker 2: film is like a ten.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're really bad.
Speaker 2: About yourself, disgusting pig. Yeah, what is the film that
Speaker 2: means the most to you? Not necessarily the film itself
Speaker 2: is any good, but the experience you had around seeing
Speaker 2: it always makes it special to you.
Speaker 4: Okay, So my answer is top gun great for this one,
Speaker 4: because so growing up I told you about the little
Speaker 4: we had this little cabin in Canada, and I've got
Speaker 4: very close family. I'm really close with my Canadian relatives,
Speaker 4: and I'd spend all my summers there as a kid,
Speaker 4: Like my mum would drop me off. She'd come over
Speaker 4: for two weeks and then she'd leave me there for
Speaker 4: the rest of the summer with my cousins, and you know,
Speaker 4: we would all bond and my nan would sort of
Speaker 4: look after us. And my nan had two VHS's on
Speaker 4: the island and one of them was Top Gun, so
Speaker 4: we would all watch Top Gun together as a family.
Speaker 4: And now it's become like I still love that, Like
Speaker 4: I love the movie anyway, but now it's like it's
Speaker 4: my movie. That's me and my cousins and my sister.
Speaker 4: We're like we watch it. We're like high five in
Speaker 4: each other, you.
Speaker 3: Know, from gone. We're like, yes, we all gave each
Speaker 3: other call signs. You know, it's like.
Speaker 1: Suns out, Yeah, what's mad dog? Surns out, what's your cousin?
Speaker 3: We did this a while ago. I think hers was
Speaker 3: like pretty grim. Actually it was like a bit of
Speaker 3: a disgusting one. I can't remember and I can't remember.
Speaker 4: But like, we like love it. It's so special to it.
Speaker 1: Did you all go and see Top Gram everick together?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: I went to see it without them, and I was
Speaker 4: really scared, Like we all went to see it as soon
Speaker 4: as it came out, but I was really scared I
Speaker 4: was going to hate it. So I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I don't know about this. You know, it's been quite
Speaker 4: a while. It's such a like it's quite a cult
Speaker 4: classic as well. It's very like and honestly, I was like,
Speaker 4: this is fucking brilliant. I thought it was the best
Speaker 4: thing I've ever seeing.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 4: I've watched it like five times since it's come out.
Speaker 4: I think it's honestly so good. It's almost and goes.
Speaker 4: I was so better than the first one. I think
Speaker 4: it is, but the story is better, and it's just
Speaker 4: they got enough of the like nostalgia in the movie
Speaker 4: without it being too like nah, yeah, they've.
Speaker 2: Got enough of it genuinely exciting and very exciting, and
Speaker 2: it's fucking good like storytelling.
Speaker 1: It's just great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4: And like my friends and I had, we watched Top
Speaker 4: Gun and Top Gun Maverick back to back one Sunday
Speaker 4: and they were sort of hanging out of mine and
Speaker 4: it was just so much.
Speaker 3: Fun just watching them together. I was like, I love this.
Speaker 3: I could watch it again now, I might have watched
Speaker 3: it later.
Speaker 2: I also think it's genuinely profound if I may to
Speaker 2: have a big, huge, fucking blockbuster, huge, hundreds of million
Speaker 2: dollar film that plays at the Imax that is about,
Speaker 2: you know, all the things it's about, but also acknowledges
Speaker 2: aging and time moving on and has a scene where
Speaker 2: black on the screen at the Imax, black and white,
Speaker 2: it says it's time to let go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is fucking deep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I totally agree.
Speaker 4: I mean, they put that love story in for Tom Cruise,
Speaker 4: but I'm glad that it was like with someone older,
Speaker 4: some young woman like I just yeah, I thought it.
Speaker 3: Was really good.
Speaker 1: What is to film you most relate to? Lou Taylor?
Speaker 4: So I was going to say this one for my
Speaker 4: first film I remember see because it's the first film
Speaker 4: I remember seeing the cinema. But I'm going to say
Speaker 4: my girl, because.
Speaker 1: Because how does he day you are McAuley girl?
Speaker 3: No, I'm the girl.
Speaker 1: No Bees does she?
Speaker 3: That's Bees? No.
Speaker 4: But I'm a little hypoponderac sort of obsessed with death
Speaker 4: and illness, and I'm her. That's She's the most related
Speaker 4: to any character.
Speaker 2: I think and you've inherited her friend's fear of well,
Speaker 2: of course you've got a fear of us.
Speaker 1: Your best friend was killed wasps.
Speaker 3: Then yeah, it makes sense. Maybe that is something to
Speaker 3: do with it.
Speaker 4: I did listen to your episode with Jamina Janel and
Speaker 4: I was like, maybe that fear of wasp actually came
Speaker 4: from watching that film really early, and that's the first
Speaker 4: time somebody had said that, and I'd gone, oh my god,
Speaker 4: that's very interesting. But I that's mine's very wasps specific.
Speaker 4: I'm not really scared of these, right, So I don't
Speaker 4: know if it is.
Speaker 2: They're fine.
Speaker 4: They're like very and they like they sort of fly
Speaker 4: up to you, but they don't like just sort of
Speaker 4: hang around.
Speaker 3: They just like fly off.
Speaker 4: And wasps are really like they're there to attack you, right,
Speaker 4: and they like don't leave your drink alone, and it's
Speaker 4: like just really stressful.
Speaker 3: They look stressful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, that's really fucking stressy.
Speaker 4: But the film, like just her thinking that she had
Speaker 4: like a chicken bone large in her throat for like
Speaker 4: a few years.
Speaker 3: That's that's totally my vibe.
Speaker 4: I think I would totally as well if my cold
Speaker 4: teacher that I fancied at school was teaching a summer
Speaker 4: writing class. I'd have gone to it, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, I fancy the guy. Yeah, just all of
Speaker 4: that stuff. You know, she's I'm that girl for sure.
Speaker 4: I am what she grew up to be.
Speaker 1: Now, what about my girl?
Speaker 3: To thought it was good? You know, i'd watch it again.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't like I wasn't obsessed with it.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I liked it, all right. What's what's the
Speaker 2: sexiest film ever made?
Speaker 1: Lee Taylor?
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is weird.
Speaker 4: So the part B of this question is actually my answer,
Speaker 4: So I'll save it for the part B, which is
Speaker 4: a bit creepy. But I think Secretary is a very
Speaker 4: sexy film. Yeah, not necessarily like the subject matter, but
Speaker 4: just the way it's done.
Speaker 3: I thought it was really really really intense and really good.
Speaker 2: If you don't mind, I'm going to ask you about
Speaker 2: this because this film, i'd say, comes up arguably the
Speaker 2: to come up a lot with women in this film.
Speaker 2: Oh right, Okay, And I mean this in a good way,
Speaker 2: like as in, it obviously got something very very right
Speaker 2: that women fucking love Secretary. And I always ask and
Speaker 2: I would love to hear your take on it? Why sexty?
Speaker 2: What's it done that's so long lasting? For most women
Speaker 2: who've ever seen it think it is the sexiest film.
Speaker 2: It's unusual to have a wide answer, and it's often
Speaker 2: that yeah, and there hasn't been anything since it that
Speaker 2: obviously got it right.
Speaker 4: I think women like they don't need the visuals so
Speaker 4: much as they need the tension. And I think women
Speaker 4: find like a relationship and tension building and that sort
Speaker 4: of thing more sexy than like seeing.
Speaker 3: Someone naked, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: I think I think the way that Maggie Jillenhole is
Speaker 4: really you can see she really wants it.
Speaker 3: It's almost like you can relate to that. And I
Speaker 3: don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 4: I've never actually really thought about it, but there's it's
Speaker 4: more the relationship and the it's her point of view
Speaker 4: as well as it's his. But I think you can
Speaker 4: put yourself in her shoes quite easily. I think that
Speaker 4: way they've built the tension really well, and I think
Speaker 4: that's what women like.
Speaker 2: But you don't like suspense in the horror, you really
Speaker 2: like it in relationships?
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, I think it's really I think the build
Speaker 4: up of that is really sexy in the same way
Speaker 4: that I think break Back Mantain is one of my
Speaker 4: sexiest films.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: It's I think it's just the relative way.
Speaker 1: That's an hour long build up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's sexy. I think.
Speaker 4: I think it's the same reason that like women love
Speaker 4: dirty dancing as well. I think it's because it's it's
Speaker 4: the relationship that's sexy, and it's the tension, and that's
Speaker 4: I think that's what's sexier in real relationships is when
Speaker 4: you know the build up to the sex is almost
Speaker 4: more sexier.
Speaker 2: You know, I do, good answer. Okay, Well, then there's
Speaker 2: the subcategory traveling bone is worrying. Why don't a film
Speaker 2: you found arousing you weren't sure that you should leave Taylor?
Speaker 1: What was that?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 4: I do think the sexiest film I've seen it's called
Speaker 4: Me by Your Name, And I.
Speaker 3: Know people talk about it, but.
Speaker 4: I find that worries me because I'm like, I mean,
Speaker 4: he was twenty one, it was tiny, but he is
Speaker 4: playing like a seventeen year old, and you know, I
Speaker 4: don't bowl about sort of fancying seventeen year old boys.
Speaker 3: Really, So that worried me that I was like, oh what.
Speaker 4: But again, I think for me, it wasn't about their age,
Speaker 4: it was about their relationship. I think it worries me
Speaker 4: that that's my sexiest film because there is like that
Speaker 4: age gap is a bit, it's a bit gross.
Speaker 2: I always find that film slightly how kind of acclaimed
Speaker 2: it is and was, and I think it's very well made,
Speaker 2: very well acts and stuff.
Speaker 1: But I was when I saw it.
Speaker 2: I was like, this guy's a kid and the other
Speaker 2: guy works for his dad, and everyone seems okay with this.
Speaker 2: There's something odd about it. Maybe I'm being a sort
Speaker 2: of prude or but I was sort of like, this
Speaker 2: feels like. I was surprised how little it was discussed,
Speaker 2: in how much everyone loved the film that I didn't
Speaker 2: see a lot of like, but this fucked up this
Speaker 2: relationship like or it is at least has some questions.
Speaker 3: No one talks about. Everyone's just like yeah, it's forking,
Speaker 3: sirxy Like no, yeah, no one does.
Speaker 1: No one says is it weird? The mom and dad
Speaker 1: were just like, go and have sex with us.
Speaker 4: Said that's why I changed it to this category. It
Speaker 4: did having to having to choose this category. It did
Speaker 4: make me realize like, oh yeah, why do I find
Speaker 4: that the socialist film?
Speaker 3: Because it is it is a bit problematic.
Speaker 4: But I do think because as I've said, I like
Speaker 4: the relationship and the tension build up. I think that
Speaker 4: that nails that film nails it because you're seeing this
Speaker 4: like pining.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the end. I love the end. I
Speaker 2: love the fireplace. It's very like relatable, as in that
Speaker 2: feeling when you're a teenager and you're mad in love.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah many times.
Speaker 1: Yeah I know it.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: You know when you when you slept with someone who
Speaker 2: works for your parents and you're a child.
Speaker 3: I was always doing that.
Speaker 2: Tell me this, what is objectively the greatest film.
Speaker 1: Of all time?
Speaker 4: I am going to choose my favorite film of all
Speaker 4: time for this answer because I actually think that if
Speaker 4: you saw it on the list of the best films
Speaker 4: full time, I don't think you could really argue with it.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to say Forrest Gump, which is my
Speaker 4: favorite film will time.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love it.
Speaker 4: I'm obsessed with it. It was also the second VHR
Speaker 4: that was that my family habit, and I think, I think, yeah,
Speaker 4: it might not be like it's on the list you've
Speaker 4: got it. I think I think Forrest Gump's on the
Speaker 4: list of the best films full time.
Speaker 3: I think it's really, really, really well made.
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree.
Speaker 4: I think the fact that what they did, you know,
Speaker 4: with putting him on all those different time periods and
Speaker 4: all the you know, being able to talk to President Canada,
Speaker 4: I thought I was really of her. I think the
Speaker 4: love story is beautiful, like the friendship, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. I think it's got everything. I think it
Speaker 4: has every box ticked. Yeah, do you agree.
Speaker 2: I've watched it in years and years. I loved it.
Speaker 2: I really used to really love it. I suspect that
Speaker 2: there are sort of some some questions that I might
Speaker 2: have now, but but I really loved it, and I
Speaker 2: don't want to say any bad of it, So I
Speaker 2: definitely it certainly did mean a lot to me back
Speaker 2: in the day, and I haven't get it in over
Speaker 2: ten years.
Speaker 4: So there is a part of me that thinks that
Speaker 4: it's like because it was my favorite film of all
Speaker 4: time growing up, I've sort of not allowed myself to.
Speaker 3: Find another one. I'm like, no, it has to be
Speaker 3: as far as gum.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do know, but.
Speaker 3: The soundtrack, everything about it.
Speaker 2: The soundtracks fucking listen, I'm still this is a fucking
Speaker 2: sad track.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Same, It's brilliant and like this is weird as well.
Speaker 4: But I think I wanted to be as a kid,
Speaker 4: I wanted to be like Jenny, even though she's really.
Speaker 3: Got. When I watch it now, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I really wanted to be this like cool, sort of
Speaker 3: sixties seventies chick.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, And I think maybe that had an element. But
Speaker 4: I do think it's a really brilliant love. I think
Speaker 4: it's funny, I think it's sad. I think it's got
Speaker 4: everything in it that you need from a film.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But I also will say that there are others where
Speaker 4: I've gone, oh, yeah, that's really like when I watched
Speaker 4: I've only seen it once. But when I watched Butch
Speaker 4: Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, I remember going, oh, that's
Speaker 4: like one of the best, like that's really good. But
Speaker 4: I've only seen it once, so I felt like I
Speaker 4: couldn't like pick it.
Speaker 3: But there are and of course Shank Redemption, all those ones. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I think I'm going to choose Forest Gumps. I
Speaker 3: think it's the best film.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2: So, what is the film that you could or have?
Speaker 2: WA's the most over and over again?
Speaker 4: Most films, Like that's my favorite thing to do is
Speaker 4: just to watch Like me and my sister especially, we.
Speaker 3: Watched the same ship over and over again.
Speaker 1: Do you want to make films?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd love to at some point, but I like,
Speaker 4: I find it really comforting. There's something that comforts me
Speaker 4: about seeing something so familiar to me. So I do
Speaker 4: watch a lot of the same films, like especially on
Speaker 4: a Sunday.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just rewatching, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: There's so many answers that I could choose, because there
Speaker 4: are so many of them. But I actually think now,
Speaker 4: I don't think that people think.
Speaker 3: This is a good film. Okay, I could have said
Speaker 3: it for that other answer, but I watched The Day
Speaker 3: After Tomorrow a lot. But I love it.
Speaker 1: It's a great answer, great answer.
Speaker 3: I love a big weather film.
Speaker 1: I like big Weather.
Speaker 3: It's got everything, It's got all the weather.
Speaker 1: You know, it's my favorite big weather film. Is the
Speaker 1: Perfect Storm.
Speaker 3: That's brilliant. That's great, very upsetting.
Speaker 1: Very moving, very moving. I love that. I love all
Speaker 1: the actors in it. I love the characters.
Speaker 2: I love the sea, big fan of the.
Speaker 1: Sea. I don't mind the storm, you know.
Speaker 3: I love a love a tidal wave, me.
Speaker 2: Love and and it all seriously with the Perfect Storm,
Speaker 2: I was like when I was young, that taught me about.
Speaker 1: The fishing industry. It genuinely did.
Speaker 2: Like I was like, you told me about the sort
Speaker 2: of how it works a bit.
Speaker 4: I only saw that for the first time in Lockdown
Speaker 4: The Perfect which surprises me considering how much I love
Speaker 4: weather film. I watched Twister a lot growing up, you know,
Speaker 4: I was always watching Twister. And then I saw The
Speaker 4: Perfect Soil, and I was like, this is really good.
Speaker 3: This is good. I was really upset at the end.
Speaker 3: I mean, it sad.
Speaker 1: It is that.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say it out loud because I
Speaker 3: don't want to spoil it. It's very sad.
Speaker 1: It's good though. He's great John Hawk's I love amazing.
Speaker 4: I mean, the Day after Tomorrow does the storyline is
Speaker 4: quite like I'm going to say that now, like the
Speaker 4: fact that he like walks across the whole of like
Speaker 4: the East coast or whatever it is, in sort of
Speaker 4: the midst of like the biggest storm. That'sn't that's known
Speaker 4: to man, like, it doesn't make any sense. Also, there's
Speaker 4: one bit where like what there's soellos of wolves they're
Speaker 4: not needed.
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on that you don't need the wolves.
Speaker 3: But I really like the ending. I'm like, well, but
Speaker 3: I love watching the beginning.
Speaker 4: Because I like watching the tornadoes take out Los Angeles
Speaker 4: and I like the big tidal way of it comes
Speaker 4: over in New York City. Again, something relaxed. I find
Speaker 4: it quite you know, especially if it's raining outside.
Speaker 3: Oh, I love that. Get a weather disaster film on
Speaker 3: when it's raining, get all.
Speaker 1: Crazy taking it. Yeah. What's the worst film I've ever seen?
Speaker 4: I found this quite hard, actually, the sunswer because I
Speaker 4: don't feel like I've seen like I've seen bad films,
Speaker 4: but I don't tend to remember them because they're quite
Speaker 4: because obviously they just don't stay with me because they're bad.
Speaker 3: But I'm going to say Speed.
Speaker 1: Too, Yes, Speed to Cruise Control.
Speaker 3: I will try to watch that. Recently I couldn't.
Speaker 4: But I can watch a film, an escapist film about
Speaker 4: like a world that doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: I can. I can get on board with Harry Potter,
Speaker 3: Lord of the Ring. I can do that.
Speaker 4: But the fact that that had happened Sandra Bullock for
Speaker 4: a second time. I actually couldn't get on board with that,
Speaker 4: get my head around it. I'm like, the issue, it's
Speaker 4: a bad now as well.
Speaker 2: No, the issue is it's set on a cruise ship.
Speaker 2: There's no she's on it, I know. But like the
Speaker 2: issue with Speed two is it's on a cruise ship
Speaker 2: that has to go first. It's like it's in the
Speaker 2: middle of the there's nothing, there's nothing in the way,
Speaker 2: like there's no jeopardy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that it's.
Speaker 1: A big old lumbering ship.
Speaker 2: There's only one bit of jeopardy when it's getting towards
Speaker 2: land of the time, You're like, okay.
Speaker 4: I turned it off, so I don't. I actually didn't
Speaker 4: watch the end. I have no idea what happened. I
Speaker 4: got to a point where I was like I can't
Speaker 4: do this, Like I really can't do it. I thought
Speaker 4: it was really bad, and I was upset that her
Speaker 4: and Keanu Reeves went together anymore. Yeah, and again it
Speaker 4: was like, imagine you've got on this bus and you've
Speaker 4: had to drive at certain miles pour and you've like
Speaker 4: that's happened to you, and then you've ended up on
Speaker 4: a ship where like there's another bomb. Like, I think
Speaker 4: that's the most unrealistic thing I've ever I can imagine
Speaker 4: that was it.
Speaker 3: What you'd feel like? What? Yeah, I really like that.
Speaker 3: That is just Boris Gunk's more believable.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, well the stuff Forest happened, yeah roller
Speaker 2: that Yeah. What is the film? You're in comedy? You're
Speaker 2: very funny. What's the film made you laugh about?
Speaker 4: I found this one had as well, because I don't
Speaker 4: think I watched that many funny films or like.
Speaker 3: Laugh a lot.
Speaker 1: You huh.
Speaker 3: It's really rude and obnoxious. The wedding singer.
Speaker 4: I'm going to say, I think the wedding singer is
Speaker 4: such like I Adam Sandler films are fine, but I
Speaker 4: actually think this is his best one. I'm like, this
Speaker 4: is that that is the best out of sand the
Speaker 4: film in my opinion, I think it's absolutely hilarious and
Speaker 4: on point, and it's so silly.
Speaker 3: Everything about it's so silly, and I love.
Speaker 1: That you can have that, you can have that. It's wonderful.
Speaker 1: Lou Taylor, what a fucking joy you've been.
Speaker 3: What thank you?
Speaker 2: However, when you were sixty, this wasp family that had
Speaker 2: been following you since you were very small, and there
Speaker 2: was the main ones, the main ones who's sort of
Speaker 2: it was his life's work because it was like, look,
Speaker 2: how fucking scared she is about it's rude.
Speaker 1: We'll give her a reason to be scared of us.
Speaker 2: And they followed you around and they pop up every Christmas,
Speaker 2: specifically Christmas Day, Merry Christmas. Still here, Merry Christmas. And
Speaker 2: then one day you were sat in a chair in
Speaker 2: your room and there was the worst and the worst
Speaker 2: was tired. It was tired, and he thought you've been
Speaker 2: a worthy adversary. And he looked at you, and you
Speaker 2: looked at him, and he said, okay, I've had a
Speaker 2: good run, and came towards you, stabbed you in the
Speaker 2: head and died.
Speaker 1: Both of you died together in the head. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine stabbed in the head?
