00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Sandy and Samantha, and welcome to Stefan

00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: never told you protection of iHeartRadio, and welcome to another

3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: edition of Happy Hour. As always, if you choose to

4
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: drink or whatever you're doing, do it responsibly. What are

5
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: you sitting on, Samantha, I'm.

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: Drinking tap well, I guess what is it? Room temperature water?

7
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: Not tap water than that. Uh. We did have a

8
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: sponsor that gave us a lovely picture that we use,

9
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: and so, of course, so I got a fancy filtered

10
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: room temperature water because my teeth is oh always those issues, y'all.

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: I have bas and of teeth.

12
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that filters fun because it takes forever.

13
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: It's a timely endeavor, but it's worth it.

14
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: It is worth it.

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: I bought new filters, and I will say the filter

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: is actually made it faster filters, just.

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: So you'll have to catch up on that afterwards. Yes,

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: all right, I'm sitting on.

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: A hot toddy. I basically just oh my well.

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: I won't go into it, but I've been worried about

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: my voice, especially because it is my job.

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: It is, and.

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: I've been having some panic moments about it. If you

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: can hear it a little bit, I think. But because

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: of that, I made hot Toddy, which is essentially I

26
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: just put water.

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: I heated it up. It's like lukewarm.

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: It's really good, which is a pun for my mug

29
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: which has a picture of Luke Skywalker on it. Some

30
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: one of my favorite gifts ever.

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: I love it.

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: And then I put some cinnamon and ginger and lemon

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: and a splash of whiskey in it. It's very nice.

34
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Actually, my partner and I whole conversation we go to

35
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: Costco to get our not a sponsor, huh, to get

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: our liquors because it's cheaper and they have like their

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: off fans, and we'd had a debate about getting whiskey

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: of like Ani's whiskey. We need to have whiskey.

39
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: I love that I've included and you are you?

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Are you?

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: Makes you really happy? Yes? I love it.

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So this episode, I know there's a lot going on.

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot we need to talk about. We are

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: going to talk about it, I promise. But I actually

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about this. I mentioned it a month

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: ago that I watched I gave in and watched the

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: new Super Mario Brothers movie. I already had this written

48
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: because I think I wrote it like while I was

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: watching it, but I didn't want to release it during

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: Pride month because Chris Pratt, Oh yeah yeah, So I

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: was like, that doesn't feel right, so I will wait.

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: It's a bit dated, but we are there.

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't I wouldn't say there's even spoilers, but if

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: you care, we are going to be talking about it.

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: But it is funny because.

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: What I thought you were talking about doing the old

57
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: Super Marios.

58
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, so it is funny though, because your partner

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: and I I had never seen it, or if I had,

60
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I was a kid and did not remember it at all,

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: and we tried to stay up watching it, and it

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: was more bizarre than I could even I knew it

63
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: was going to be strange, but it was stranger and

64
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: I didn't make it to the end. I need to

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: go back and watch it.

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: I think need is a very strong word.

67
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: No, I for me, it's in need. For other people

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: avoid rightfully so, but for me it's in need. It

69
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: actually came up my mom came to visit me in

70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta with my little brother, and we had lunch, and

71
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: somehow it came up. Me and my little brother talked

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: about video games a lot, so I imagine that's what happened.

73
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: But my mom had seen the old one and was like,

74
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: didn't I have like Bob Hoskins in it.

75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: I was like, yep, sure, we all talk about him.

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: Oh it's listeners I've described. I think.

77
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: I hope there's nothing bad about him.

78
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: Me too, me too. Oh gosh, it's it's so strange.

79
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: It's this but so is this one. Okay, So.

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: I was trying to avoid watching it because of the

81
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: Chrispratt thing, but also just like I wasn't really excited

82
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: about it. But then the writers strike happens, and a

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: lot of the entertainment I usually enjoyed kind of went away,

84
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: and I'm not super Samantha and I were just talking

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: about this. I don't like TV shows give me anxiety.

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: They give me anxiety. I like something that's like one

87
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: and done. And so I eventually I gave in and

88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: I watched this movie. I've seen it several times now.

89
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: I will admit the thing that it has going for

90
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: it is mistake. It is very very nostalgic as a

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: kid who grew up paying like Donkey Kong. That whole

92
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: scene all the music. It made me remember when I

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: made you listen to that theme song and I was

94
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: quoting it incessantly for a while, and it made me

95
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: laugh because I used to say with relative ease a lot.

96
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and I believe you and my partner still do this.

97
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: And I just sit there. It's obvious like I am

98
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: the parent and you two are the children having a

99
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: moment together, and I am very lost and never come back.

100
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you like you just kind of wander away?

101
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: I just like, it's literally one of those like are

102
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: they hurting anyone? No, okay, moving on.

103
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: Yes, but I looked back at our the last time

104
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: you and I ran the Peach Sheet road race, which

105
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: happens every July fourth in person, your partner had texted me,

106
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: did you finish with relative ease?

107
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: Yeah?

108
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: Yes, And if he had sometimes to me, I'd be like, what.

109
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: I still say, I love it if you don't know

110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. The theme song for the N

111
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: sixty four Donkey Kong is horrible and hilarious, but it

112
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: is in the movie that was a fun like, so

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: the music is really fun. There's like a Mario Kart

114
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: scene and yeah, that's really what it ads going for.

115
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: It's sort of the like, oh, these were the games

116
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: I played or grew up with or what have you?

117
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: Brainbow road scene. This isn't really a review. I mean

118
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: I am reviewing it, but what I more wanted to

119
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: talk about is because we had are very hilarious in

120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: my opinion, Princess Peach slash Toadstool Ye episode yes, in

121
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: which it was hilarious in that you kept saying you

122
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: didn't know who Princess Peach was, and I was like,

123
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: I've seen you play.

124
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: And I had no idea. That's what she was called

125
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: in my head. Her name is Princess toad Stool.

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, it took us a name change.

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: By the way, it didn't make sense to me.

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: But you got your Jack Black theme song that I

129
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: sing to your dog. Now you don't.

130
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: You don't sing to my dog, I know I once.

131
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: Well, well, anyway, so you should go check out that

132
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: episode if you haven't, because we kind of talked about

133
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: sort of the sexism, uh in these games, especially when

134
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: it comes to Peach is sort of your prize. The

135
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: princess is not in this castle, which they have a

136
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: joke about in this movie. It was interesting because they

137
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: try to make Peach more bad, and I would say

138
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: she is she is, uh, But ultimately it does all

139
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: come down to Bowser is in love with her and

140
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: wants to marry her and is going to destroy her

141
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: whole kingdom, the Mushroom Kingdom if she doesn't agree. And

142
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: so it's weird because it's like they try to make

143
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: her a stronger character, like more of a character, and

144
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: she definitely has like she has. She's really proficient with weapons,

145
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: she's really she shows up Mario a lot. But ultimately

146
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: it does boil down to He's trying to Bowser's trying

147
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: to marry her. And I was watching this and it's

148
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: not like that's new at all, because that is like

149
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: the game. That is exactly the plot we talked about

150
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: it in that episode we did on Princess Peach leshto Tool.

151
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: That is the plot of one of the games, is

152
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: that he tries to not only kidnap her, which he

153
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: does in almost everyone, but he tries to marry her.

154
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: And it was weird.

155
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: Because I was watching this as an adult and I

156
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: was like, I can't believe it's twenty twenty three and

157
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching a movie where marriage is kind of being

158
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: used as a weapon where it's very much like he's

159
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: going to control her via marriage and if she doesn't agree,

160
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: he's going to kill everyone she cares about. Obviously, yes,

161
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: and and it's framed is very funny and jack Back

162
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: is amazing, Like the song's really good. He's really great actor.

163
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: He's really funny in it. But it's like kind of

164
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: the funny aspect of toxic masculinity because he has so

165
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: many lines that are funny, but when you think about them,

166
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is real messed up, Like he's

167
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: essentially we're supposed to laugh because he's this big villain

168
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, I want to have the happy

169
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: fairy tale wedding and you're like ah, but then like,

170
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: oh no, he's actually like trying to manipulate this person,

171
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: who he says is like beautiful and smart and straw

172
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: all this stuff into marrying him, and he thinks that

173
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: will make him.

174
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: Very, very happy.

175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: And he has a line where he's yelling at Mario

176
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: where he's like I was finally gonna be happy, which

177
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: I feel is like very in cell kind of language

178
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: when you're like talking about what you're you know, if.

179
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 3: Only this woman would give me what I want.

180
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: I would be happy and then it would be fine,

181
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: but instead she didn't and now he's resorting to all

182
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: this violence. And I bet a lot of you listening

183
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: are like, Eddie, this was like a cartoon movie for kids.

184
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: But I can't turn off my feminist brain.

185
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: And I was watching this and I just thought, you know,

186
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: kids are probably watching it, loving it, and we're not.

187
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 3: It's strange to me.

188
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: I guess that it's still that was the plot line,

189
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: or maybe not strange, but not something I'm comforted by.

190
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, essentially we were. It does feel like

191
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: a step back when for so long we've been like, oh, yay,

192
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: we finally have a superhero or heroes that are women

193
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: who can do their own thing. But then we talked

194
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: about Marvel like yay women, Oh no, women are bad.

195
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: Apparently Still it gets the push back and forth of

196
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: like you're kind of doing it, but you're doing the

197
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: minimal and doing it and then you're doing it in

198
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: a way that's just not really well done. So is

199
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: it more insulting? No?

200
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Right, I saw an article today we need to come

201
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: back to but it was like, Marvel, you got to

202
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: stop fridging your women. But yeah, I mean essentially because

203
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: like they they did, like I said, they made her stronger,

204
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: they made her more bad, but it felt very much

205
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: like they knew people were gonna be like mad about it.

206
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: So's like, no, no, no, no, she's strong. See can

207
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: she can hold her own? She can do all this

208
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: stuff with weapons all whatever. But then they were like still, I.

209
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: Kind of go back to the mad Max. The new

210
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: version with Charlie's their own, but like everybody was so

211
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: mad because it was like feminists because she was the

212
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: one that was driving the truck and there's those women

213
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: and all these things. But I'm like, but still in

214
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: the end, it was the Max dude who had to

215
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: sacrifice himself to save them all. He was still the

216
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: lead with this Charlie's character just staring in anguish half

217
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: the time. Like that was and I'm like it was

218
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: a good movie. I wanted to support it just because everybody,

219
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: all the men were mad. I'm like, this is the

220
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: movie that you're mad at?

221
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: Like this is this one?

222
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: Like if all the movies should be mad at, it's

223
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: say something like kill Bill, which the antagonist is a

224
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: woman that's killing everyone, including the teacher, the main hero

225
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: guy and somehow y'all are okay with this, like because

226
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: it was made by a dude who kind of actively

227
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: hates women. I don't know, Like I'm not sure, but

228
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: the whole stance is like it's not as feminist as

229
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: you think it is, but you're mad because it's implying

230
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: it could be.

231
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the interesting thing because we've talked about that

232
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: a lot, because I feel like there's this thing especially

233
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: in like traditionally perceived as masculine spaces, So video games

234
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: is a huge one. And in fact, there was an

235
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: article did you see this Smith that there's an article

236
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: that came out the other day that said more women

237
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: play video games? And it got like rakes with the

238
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: coles by men who are like, that's impossible, that's impossible.

239
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: It was just like a it was just a straight

240
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: up like this is the survey found and they were like, oh, yes, yes.

241
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: So this is still like a huge deal in the

242
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: video game world. And I feel like in a lot

243
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: of those cases and a lot of those spaces, it's

244
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: you can have your women, you can have your like

245
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: female character be a little bit stronger, but only to

246
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: a point only till she's still sexualized. Only like she

247
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: still has to fit in our like masculine gaze, and

248
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: the fact that this was like a wedding storyline used

249
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: to entrap her as even though she was like, quote,

250
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: you know more bad. It feels very much like she's

251
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: still being seen.

252
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: In the Mario Odyesty game because I played it for

253
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: a split second and then my partner enjoyed it way

254
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: more because I got to a point I'm like, I'm

255
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: gonna die all the time, so I quit. Now. Is

256
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: the plot point to rescue the princess?

257
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know, I think it is. Is that

258
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: the one?

259
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: So there is one game where the exact plot point

260
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: is that Bowser's in like a white wedding suit.

261
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: He's got a top.

262
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's I think I remember, like this

263
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: sounds really familiar. And I've never watched this movie. I've

264
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: never watched the previews. I know nothing about it. I

265
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: knew that Chris Pratt was gonna be the voice. I

266
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: was like, why, it doesn't even make sense. Nothing about

267
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: that makes sense. So also to say that I have

268
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: no interest, but I feel like I think the Odyssey

269
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: is the one where the dude's like, I got I'm

270
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: gonna marry her and keeps kidnapping her, and then he

271
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: sends his Hinchman to fight Mario in different scenarios, which

272
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: I always die. I always die. This is why I

273
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: hate these games. Even on the switch, still angry. It's okay,

274
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm okay. But the plot point is that he has

275
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: to get her, him and Hattie whatever the name of

276
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: the hat is. Yes, that's how you can be a

277
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: co op. Uh, And I'm still bad at it, but

278
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember. I think that's the whole plot point.

279
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's a newer game and it's one

280
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: of the most popular games out there. The fact that

281
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: this is a newer game, I guess you have to

282
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: have some kind of ultimate goal, but it seems odd

283
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: that this is the ultimate goal, the marriage line, because

284
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: I don't feel like, yeah, the Super Mario three, that

285
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: was the intent. It was just to help her to

286
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: find her, right right.

287
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: A lot of them are just She's like, not in

288
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: your castle, you have to go find her. And I

289
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: will say maybe not in defensive but to clarify, in

290
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: the movie, she does. She agrees to the marriage because

291
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: she's trying to protect her people, but she does have

292
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: a plan to get out of it, and does She

293
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: does attack Bowser.

294
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: And he's like, well, then we're breaking up right now.

295
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm working on my voices of good Yeah,

296
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: thank you again. One of those things where I feel

297
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: like they did. They knew that our conversation has changed

298
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: since the games came out. People wouldn't be happy if

299
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: that was the whole plot point. So they kept trying

300
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: to give you, like, no, seapeaches really strong, and she was,

301
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: but it still felt like just a little bit, and

302
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: she still ended up. Yeah, Mario had to save her,

303
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: and Bowser, perhaps not surprisingly, did not take rejection really well.

304
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: And so there's like this whole scene that I was

305
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: just imagining kids watching of this guy being like, you've

306
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: ruined everything you made, but so sell all this stuff.

307
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: And then yeah, Mario and Luigi saved the day. It really,

308
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it was nostalgic. I liked

309
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: that part of it that I just thought, I just

310
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: because it's really really popular. That movie has been the

311
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,600

Speaker 1: what I'll say about the new Super Mars Brothers movie.

376
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Although also one more thing, the age difference between the

377
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: actors kind of weves me out. But all right, that
