Who knows 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.320 if we'll ever be reunited as a gang in the future. 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.840 But the good news is that all of us are 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:35.240 active creators and making things.

And otherwise I'm 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.280 just you know, working on TV shows and movies and 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.760 if you want to watch Adult Wednesday Adams, that's the 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.000 thing that I made a lot ago that people like 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.880 watching watch. And that's about it. Karama, how about you. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.600 I'm still floored by the fact that I didn't realize 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.280 Melissa changed her Twitter handle, Like I just was there 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.240 and I didn't see it happen. You know, what was 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.639 it before Melissa FTW? It just fells a little two 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.880 thousand nine, which is when I made it, Like no 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.959 one knew when ft W meant anymore. And then I 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.520 changed it, and then they took away my verification because 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.080 I changed my handles. Did you get it? Did you 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.200 get it back? No? I haven't gotten it back. I 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:37.800 don't know how how this letter about the fact that 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.359 Melissa is no longer verified, also write a letter about 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.760 the fact that I have never been verified at Karama Drama. 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:50.880 In case you were wondering that sounds verify that ship. Uh. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.040 Well for me, my name was also taken everywhere, so 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.000 I am Danish Swartz with three z s, and then 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.880 my website is Danish Swartz dot com dot com, but 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.000 the first one is spelled out d T. I thought 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.560 it was cute and then I realized it took like 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.280 an extra sentence to explain to people. But yeah, but 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.160 if you want me talking more podcasts, I have a 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.680 podcast called Noble Blood where I talk about history. That's 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.960 that's fun. Uh, it's very different from this. But with 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.280 all of that out of the way, I just want 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.960 to say, it's been such a pleasure getting to know 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.840 you all so much better in Quarantine and having this 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.919 to look forward to to talk about books because we've 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.480 done this all entirely virtually. Yeah, we were talking about 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.000 whether virtual works for like Dana and I were in 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.360 the writer's room together and whether writer's room could work. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.440 It's like, oh yeah, but you don't get to become 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.320 friends with those people. And then I realized I became 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.200 friends with Jennifer Tian and Crama all on Zoom in 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.040 this podcast, and I feel very grateful for that. It 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.480 feels amazing that we have never met in real life 0:03:54.800 --> 0:04:00.520 or pretty faces in my hand one day. Yes, because 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:06.360 it's holding each other's faces in your hands. Yeah, I 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.680 just want to directly into your mouth, making a hand barrier. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.640 I also think it's so special that, like it was 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.719 very you know, speaking personally, but for me, our very 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.360 first recording, it was like instant chemistry between all of us, 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.080 Like it felt so easy and so fun. So Dana, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.360 applause to you for putting this group of women together. 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:35.080 I feel like my criteria was nice people who I like, 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.360 who are easy and fun to talk to, and here 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.480 you all worked out. If you worked do lovely. I 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.160 only like you should have thrown, you know, one person 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:49.680 who you hated, just to make it a little tent, 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.360 a little drama. Well, it's like that. It's like that 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.000 episode of I Love New York where New York is 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.880 like I got boreds who I ruined lunch intentionally, like 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.760 what a talk a little flavor in there, which is 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.640 like something crazy just for fun. One thing that I 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.760 was reflecting on that I'm really grateful for and I 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.960 hope listeners will followed along our as well, is like 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.280 I didn't have any motivation at the beginning of the 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:22.160 quarantine to do anything, let alone read books very regularly. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.040 I was just you know, doom scrolling and all of that. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.480 And I think having this to come back to week 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.120 after week and reading with a group of people who 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.920 I really connect with, I honestly can't believe. What did 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:40.400 we read? Seven books? Yeah, that's a lot of books, 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.400 Like that's way more I think I would have read 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.520 probably one if I'm being honest, throughout the quarantine. So 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.800 I'm very grateful for that, and I think I hope 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.680 the listeners have been too. I feel the exact same way. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.279 It like got me back into I go through like 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.080 reading phases, and it got me back into a phase 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.080 of reading, like was like getting and getting through books 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.680 like I was in a bad habit of just like 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:08.640 giving up finishing books, like having to power through because 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.400 we had a group to be accountable, meant that like 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.680 sometimes I really liked a book that I would have 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:20.240 given up on. Sometimes it's okay to give up anyway. Yes, um, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.839 I do not go through reading phrases, and all I 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.280 did during quarantine was read like a few books every week. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.120 So um. But what I never get to do is 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.279 talk about books in depth with people who have also 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.080 read them at the same time. And it was so 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.720 lovely to be reading and thinking. Not just I enjoyed 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.240 this part, but like, oh boy, I can't wait to 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.799 hear what Melissa is going to say about this part 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.480 or I'm so glad. Everybody else in book Club also 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.640 has a lot of questions about Wally Lamb's book his 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:58.200 entire life. Jennifer, are you Are you off Twitter? How 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.800 do you have the time and energy to do that? 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:05.359 She doesn't have Twitter? One? Not having Twitter on my 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.160 phone is the best thing you can do for your sanity? 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.240 Are you not on your computer all day? Though? No? 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.200 Um no. I used to go out to lunch every 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.880 day and I would just sit for an hour and 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.200 read a book over lunch. So um. Not like some 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.280 play special. You can do it at chapolte or a diner, 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.680 which is what I like to do. But um, yeah. 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.880 So you know, now I still didn't have lunch at home, 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.240 and I still just read a book over lunch. It's 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.040 so good at routine, you know, it's very good at routine. 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.120 My routine is wake up, scroll on my phone for 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.200 an hour in bed, then scroll for the rest of 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.320 the day on my computer on my couch. Yeah. That's yeah, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.119 very to be able to throw in bother my mom 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.000 into that routine. I just like stroll over to the 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.680 room and I'm like, hey, mom, Mom, like, is the 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:08.840 plural of Branzino brand Zini? I don't know. She doesn't. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.200 She looks at me, like, what's wrong with you? It's Italian. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.200 It feels like it should be. Um well, speaking of Italian, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.440 and that to segue two, I know this much as true. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.200 We read a bunch of books that I'm going to recite, 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.040 and I want to know if anyone has like stand 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.200 out favorite we read normal people. I know this much 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.679 as true, Lovecraft, Country, they hate you, give Brave New World, 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:36.920 Rebecca and v for Vendetta, seven full books, any standout favorite? Wait, 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.360 So just to clarify, just to ask a Branzino Branzini 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.280 question for Claria, So do you want to know which 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.839 book was her favorite, which adaptation was our favorite, or 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:51.200 which overall book and film slash screen adaptation was I guess. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.200 I guess it's an open, open question. You can you 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:59.920 can be specific to, like my mother answers here, Yeah, heart, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:04.199 I do. I think the favorite book that I read 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.200 and Chroma was going to hate this is Rebecca. I 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.560 really felt like there was something about it. It was 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.480 one of those books where once I got it took 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.960 me a little bit to get into, but once I 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:20.800 got into her world, I just kept looking forward to 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.240 the time when I got to go back to it. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.760 And I feel like, that's what you love in a book, 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.400 you know, or that's what I love when I get 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:33.880 into a book. Um, and I really even though you 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.160 know there were weird parts in it and the ending 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.280 is frustrating, it feels like there's I don't know something 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.120 about the way that was written, and it was a book. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:44.320 It was one of those books that I would have 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.240 given up on had it not been for this book club. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.600 So that's what I'm grateful for. I think my two 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.720 favorite would be Rebecca and also loved Craft Country. The book. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.800 I didn't love the adaptation where I got it was 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.480 be a little too like sci fi horror for me, 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.880 Like I don't love like blood and Gore, um, but 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.800 the book wasn't quite as much and I really liked 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.000 reading it. I loved I loved love Craft Country, and 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.640 I enjoyed the adaptation just because like seeing all those 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.720 actors on screen is just a delight and seeing all 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.000 those like it was just so great to see all 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:27.240 of them. And my favorite adaptation was the Rebecca Netflix 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.000 one because I absolutely loved tearing it to shreds, like 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.720 love that's so much, what a blast, Like That's the 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.760 thing I love about our book club, Like throughout the pandemic, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.559 we're all doing the same thing. So like when I 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.360 jump on phone calls with my friends and they're like, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.600 what do you what are you up to? What are 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.000 you doing, I'm like the same thing. But book Club 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.040 to me was like my opportunity to gossip, Like it 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:56.120 was my like gossip cathartic like talk about talk some 0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.640 ship on like bad yellow suits and like we got 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.839 we got to gossip about fictional character. And it's the 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.800 stakes are so low in that you don't hurt an 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.920 you want feelings. Really yeah, it's kind it's kind it's 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.319 generous kind gossip. You get to judge people. I feel 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.960 like that's a little generous of all to say it's 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:23.280 generous gossip. I think that it's just like a primarily 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:30.199 victimless crime if you're got fake people. My favorite, my okay, 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.960 so I'm gonna do my sort of oh that that 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.280 doesn't surprise me favorite, and then my h i'dn't expect 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.920 that favorite. So my unsurprising favorite was The Hate You Give. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.400 I really enjoyed that book. I'm glad I finally got 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.400 the opportunity to read it because I've been saying I 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.120 should read this book, I should read this book. And 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.480 I really enjoyed talking with Andrew Thomas. I thought she 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.920 was incredible. That was what a gift that we got 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.240 to spend that time with her and got to hear 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.839 from her directly. And then I'm like, what a cool, 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.920 normal smart person she wanted. She was a very cool, 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:05.440 normal smart person. And my surprise favorite was I know 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:13.679 this much is true honesty. The end was not perfect 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:20.840 in terms of that you got that casino money, but 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.839 I also will say I love that I predicted that 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.319 he was white presenting person with a father that was 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.959 a person of color and you guys were like really, 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.360 and I was like yes, and I just felt it 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.520 through the page. I was like, I see you. You 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.080 you're with me. I see you. And then I was right. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.880 But no, I really enjoyed the crafting of that story 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:46.480 and watching how like he was building this story with 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.040 all these like little minute details that I was like, Oh, well, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.000 that's a dumb thing. Why do you include that? And 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.360 then a hundred pages later, I was like, oh, ship, 0:12:54.000 --> 0:13:03.200 that was so important. Yeah, I actually I really agree 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.240 with you in the in the sense that like reading 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.960 a book that's like a thousand plus pages, you like 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.959 get really attached to living in it, and there there 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.840 is like a craft involved in like building that world, 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.960 and like, even though I didn't always agree with like 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.720 the plot decisions, I thought it was like a really 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.480 readable book and it was like it was really fun 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.480 and like you know, solving the mysteries and then like 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.680 going back to Italy and hearing the stories, like I 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.080 did have fun reading that. It was it was an 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.840 adventure and I was like, oh, I'm totally along for 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.040 this ride with the guy who maybe had sex with 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:45.280 this monkey had sex with he think I think he 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.160 just loved it like a good pet. Did you guys 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.040 see did you guys watch the Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher? Yes, 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.880 was he did that octo? I mean there was definitely 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:02.559 touches maybe or or after it was like some you know, 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.480 it helped him later, you know, when he's alone. Though, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:12.680 really love the octave in that though. It was great. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.480 But I have not seen this and now I will 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:19.640 not see it because it sounds very good. It's really good, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.600 and there's nothing he does that's inappropriate. I just said, like, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:26.880 you really love this octopus, and he really really loves 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.120 this octopus. There are a lot of different ways to 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:35.840 show love. Yeah. Indeed, And just to be clear, Gen, 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.600 none of us are saying that we agree with you. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.800 That guy definitely hooked up with the monkey. The monkey 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.720 was they didn't have sex, but the monkey touched his penis, 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.840 and you kind of made it that could just happen. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.280 He could just be an accident that wasn't in the book. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.480 Was intentionally in the book. For it was just an 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.160 uncomp triple moment. Yeah, he was like it was an accident. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.840 He dressed his penis on like a banana, completely unintentional. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:28.880 Jennifer did did Your favorite favorite might have been I 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.720 love that adaptation. I so rarely read graphic novels. It's 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.160 one that I remember loving as a teenager, and it 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.640 was so nice to revisit it now. Frankly, after Trump 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.520 did not win re election, so I think it would 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.800 have been a little bit too grim to read it 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:51.040 if Trump had been realerted. So reading it knowing that 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.960 we are heading into um not Trump being precedent makes 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.520 it a lot more palatable. I think you're absolutely right. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.080 I really did enjoy you for Vandanna. I would say 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.480 my favorite adaptation was Normal People. I feel like I 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.960 was so surprised, just so surprised by how good it was, 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.280 because you feel like in that kind of story that 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.800 is so internal like and everything is so unsaid that 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.400 it's like, there's no way this is either going to 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.920 turn into like a really obnoxious team soap or it's 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.960 going to be really boring, and it was neither. It 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:34.640 was really just so beautifully done. That was the only 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.000 one I did not watch, but I did. I did 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.400 purchase a gold chain. I know that that is. I 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.080 didn't watch it, but I got the chain. You can 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.680 still watch it, though, I would say I thought that 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.960 sometimes like I was watching around Hulu and like sometimes 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.000 I couldn't tell when they came back from the car commercial. Yeah, 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.440 I said that. That's that was my full sense of it. 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.320 Like I did like it, but the tone to me 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.480 was a little sleepy. I'm still a little salty that 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.920 it was not a period piece of the early two 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.399 I didn't love it. I was just impressed by it. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.680 I think I definitely slept through half of it. It 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.960 was early quarantine. It was like, this is a nice 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:26.359 nap show, which I think my endorsement. You get wrapped 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.640 in like a weighted blanket. I just got a weighted blanket. Oh, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.960 I never even get Yeah. I love They're really good. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.760 They're really good for naps. Okay, maybe I need one. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.880 I think my favorite adaptation was V for Vendetta because 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.000 like Turning, I think they plucked the right stuff and 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.240 they made it like a more cohesive story, like you 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.720 have to make changes Turning anything let him shake. They 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.960 did a good job. They made it emotionally affecting, and 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.879 they pulled out, like I thought, the main message to 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.240 make it an effective to our film. Yes, and I 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.240 think some of the parts that they got rid of 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.399 like the computer being in loud with the Chancellor. We're okay, 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.720 parts to get rid of and some of like the 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.560 weird stuff with women that I didn't love and the 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:21.320 satisfying ending that we wanted to see, like loved that adaptation. Yeah, 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.359 any regrets for stuff that we didn't get to Yes, Um, 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.520 I am so sad that we didn't get to finish 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:33.480 Fingersmith because I love it already. And just watch The 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.960 Handmaid and if you haven't seen it, it's just so 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:42.440 worth watching. It's so beautiful. It's um, it's truly spectacular adaptation. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.120 Oh yeah, I'm finished. I'm definitely doing this whole round 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.719 as if we have podcast episodes on it, and then 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.879 I'm going to watch the movie. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.399 reading it. I'm really enjoying it. And I had like 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.919 so many ideas. I was like, oh, during the summer, 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.440 we should do summer blockbusters, so like we should do 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:07.040 graft Park would have been fun. And also Holes. I 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:12.639 will to great adaptation. It's genuinely a great adaptation. I 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.680 think if you haven't read Holes, you should read it. 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.400 The kid is in the movie, yes she is. Yeah, 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:25.920 the Shila buff Sigourney Weaver John Voight. That's amazing cast 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.960 the guy Pendleton, A Pendleton, the guy who played mirror 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.760 Face in Watchman. Yes, you know what I'm talking about. 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:41.200 That they're their troop leader. Oh okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:47.240 yeah he's there. Jerk face. Yeah, child prison, it's child prison. 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.879 I was really looking forward to our idea of reading 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:59.880 Emma and watching Emma. Emma and cluelists. Yeah, I love them, 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.120 and I've seen Clueless ten thousand times, but I haven't 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.399 read Emma since I was like eleven and thought it 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:09.480 was like, I'm smart, I'm reading. I mean, you should 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.960 still do it. I mean I might. I actually also might. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.080 Have you seen the most recent one? Yeah, I liked it. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:20.000 I've seen zero Emma's and I've read zero Emma's. You 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:25.280 haven't seen Clueless. No, I've seen zero Emma's. Please, I've seen. Actually, 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.400 for a second, I got very upset because my therapist 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.399 told me she had never seen Clueless, and I was like, 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.760 I don't know if I can continue to see you. 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.399 You have to end as the relationship. It was a 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.920 while ago. I've moved through it. I have that Clueless 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.479 is available to watch on Netflix. A couple of times. 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:43.800 But she'll get to it when she gets to it, 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:47.440 and that's me growing Jeremy my fance. I had not 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.280 seen Clueless, and at the beginning of our relationship, I 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.440 made him watch it, and I feel like I made 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:55.399 it really unenjoyable for him because it was one of 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.360 those things where I was just like staring at him, 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.960 staring at the movie while every joke blended and like 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.800 mouthing every word. So it wasn't exactly the experience he 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.240 probably wanted, but I made in my like I guess 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.960 this is also an adaptation. I made even watch Paddington 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.240 and then we watched both Paddington's in a row because 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:21.160 I loved Are They Sweet? Paddington two is a masterpiece, 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:29.520 great truly in his finest role. What are you on 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:31.360 the wrong side of the internet if you're not hearing 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:36.040 good stuff about She's watch Paddington one and then Paddington too. Junk. 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:42.119 It's for real, it's very time of years. It's a 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:46.080 joy okay, ok It's like you know, the term is 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:54.080 higgy higgy hua okuga. It's a very movie. It's pronounced 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:59.440 juga huga. It's a very good movie. Makes it feel good. 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.720 It's like, Okay, I was going to say both, yes, 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:09.400 that's it's like, and thenby sweater and a big cup 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:13.720 of tea in a movie. I'll do that. I god 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.560 to watch Paddington and then and then text back now 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.720 and a half of your like. I have not seen 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:24.120 Paddington either, but I have heard only good things about Paddingtons. Okay, 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.840 we'll watch Paddington. This, I'm true. I am truly blown 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.920 away by this. I have to look. I just didn't 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:35.159 know that we felt strongly about live action. What are 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.119 those movies called c G but that they're not c G. 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.600 I They're all people except Paddington's. Paddington is made of 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.720 what computers? I don't feel strongly about c G I animals. 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:49.720 I feel strongly about Paddington. I promise. I do not 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:53.760 care for baby movies. Um normally I would not car 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:57.800 c G. I bear because this movie is cleverly for babies. 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.840 I saw it on a plane to I will watch 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:03.399 it anytime. It just on television. Wow, it has a 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:08.200 ninety eight percent. I'm blown people. It's just like it 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:13.320 knows what it is and it doesn't really well as parasite. 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:20.119 Something something I've enjoyed about this experience was getting to 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:23.479 know all of you, especially Jennifer, because you are one 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.359 of the most fascinating people I've ever met. Just what 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:28.639 you said about baby movies just now reminded me that 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.320 you were not allowed to watch animated films as a child, 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:35.760 so you only watch Turner Corsic movies. Yeah, and now 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.040 you know, as we think about having a child, we 0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.600 have to think about whether or not we will incorporate 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:51.440 baby movies into their lifestyle. Okay, but like the Lion 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:55.800 King is Hamlet, so excuse you, that's that's a good point. 0:23:55.920 --> 0:24:01.080 I think there was baby movies and family movies, Adrian's movies, 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:06.200 movies that don't have like swear words like baby I 0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:11.720 or whatever, just like shapes on a screen. A baby 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:18.520 wouldn't understand Paddington? Do you think about the screen? Are 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:22.560 the pick are? Do you not watch Pixar movies? I've seen. 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.600 I've seen up Um, which is Heartbreak. Have you seen 0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:32.400 Have you seen Rattitui? No? I haven't seen Actually I don't. Yeah. 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.919 I made I made Ian watch Ratitude because he had 0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:39.080 never seen it, and it's like maybe my favorite Pixar movie. Also, 0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:41.440 not like Rodents, because that's my solid reason for not 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:44.240 watching any it makes you like the rodent. I don't 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.200 think it will, I think it will. I think I 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.879 think by the end of it, will I think that 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:55.560 they should run a restaurant. Yes, yes, yes, give it 0:24:55.600 --> 0:25:05.560 a chance. Also Coco, if you wanna. I haven't wanted 0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:08.439 to remember seeing it in the theater and I needed 0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:11.080 to like the whole credits to recover and I was 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.640
