Speaker 1: Toss Popcorn is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Leanna Holstitch and I'm Sienna Jacob and welcome
Speaker 2: to Tossed Popcorn, the podcast where two idiots watched every
Speaker 2: film on the AFI's one hundred Greatest American Movies of
Speaker 2: All Time, the very slightly less racist tenth anniversary edition.
Speaker 2: This podcast is oh, and are now sorry. I also
Speaker 2: started I was like It's time and are now continuing
Speaker 2: to do the podcast. A podcast that the Arts Council
Speaker 2: of England will not accept as evidence in a visa application. Oh,
Speaker 2: despite it being award winning and on the largest network
Speaker 2: in America.
Speaker 1: And over one hundred episodes. Sticking to it. Oh, this
Speaker 1: podcast is a safe space.
Speaker 3: We're safe.
Speaker 1: We're safe right now, A safe space for people, a
Speaker 1: safe theater for people who don't know anything about movies.
Speaker 1: Today we're watching The Producers two thousand and five. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: I was born in Dusseldorphin. That is my day. Called
Speaker 1: me Vot, You're stupid bus Marty, come and join your
Speaker 1: Nazi party.
Speaker 3: Who didn't check enough before we did it?
Speaker 1: Did not even at all. Warning There will be spoilers
Speaker 1: about this, about this jazz hands old film.
Speaker 2: M I guess a content warning that we will be
Speaker 2: speaking about Neo Nazis, huh and Hitler on Germany during.
Speaker 1: World War Two.
Speaker 3: Yes, hmm, oh you know what.
Speaker 2: I we knew deep down because we discussed our love
Speaker 2: for Nathan Lane, so we both knew it was the
Speaker 2: Nathan Lane producer.
Speaker 3: That is exactly what I thought.
Speaker 1: I was like, there's no way in heck Leon would
Speaker 1: be the earlier one I have, but I vaguely remember it.
Speaker 1: I know Gene what's his name was in it?
Speaker 2: Kelly Gene Wilder. No, yes, could I please hear your
Speaker 2: prediction for the Producers?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think, okay, yeah, it's probably not offensive or anything.
Speaker 5: Oh all right, hi Leanna Na, I'm about to watch
Speaker 5: The Producers. Okay, that's not how it goes, but I'm
Speaker 5: about to watch The Producers with a hit show on
Speaker 5: Broadway that was a little better.
Speaker 1: Really looking forward to it. I know it's going to
Speaker 1: be offensive, hopefully in a funny way, because like everyone's
Speaker 1: gay and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty much wild.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll cut that out. I guess if Nathan Lane
Speaker 1: is like being really horny, maybe it'll be funny because
Speaker 1: we know he's not super gross and horny for Uma Thurman.
Speaker 3: In real life.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we all see what it's like, but
Speaker 1: I remember it being very funny and fun. Yeah, with
Speaker 1: a lot of big uh uh sorry, over the top actors,
Speaker 1: and I hope we have a great time. Okay, I
Speaker 1: love you, good bo.
Speaker 3: You could hear me wanting to go.
Speaker 1: A lot of big actors, big actor, biggest actors. Oh,
Speaker 1: the biggest actors in Hollywood world. Well that what a
Speaker 1: wonderful prediction. I'm so sorry about mine. Oh great, okay, Hi, Sianna,
Speaker 1: it's Leanna. I'm about to watch the producers. Uh my
Speaker 1: visa application just got rejected. Oh be cool and fun.
Speaker 1: I love living I predict singing and dancing and people
Speaker 1: who also just love being alive, because God, what a
Speaker 1: treat it is. Love you by you watched this directly
Speaker 1: after finding out there was no time.
Speaker 3: I am so sorry.
Speaker 1: This little thing we've decided to do and like commit
Speaker 1: to in our life has made our life very ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Because you have to do it like this is our
Speaker 3: choice to do it, so we just have to.
Speaker 2: And often it's at the last possible second, regardless of
Speaker 2: any sort of devastation that may have occurred around the
Speaker 2: same time. It's like when we were suddenly watching The
Speaker 2: Iron Giant. I just today had to morostly sit down
Speaker 2: and try to watch the pre.
Speaker 6: Leona.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to hear this. We were talking about
Speaker 1: it off Mike, what a pain? A pain? Well, hey girl, hey, yep.
Speaker 2: My application for endorsement from the Arts Council of England
Speaker 2: has tempered currently been rejected. I have to either appeal
Speaker 2: that decision or submit a completely new application. They will
Speaker 2: not accept a podcast as evidence for that visa, which
Speaker 2: is in the fair because I'm applying as a comedian.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they said no no.
Speaker 2: So instead I've used stand up and improv and now
Speaker 2: somehow have to mount a one woman show in the
Speaker 2: next approximately forty days that is well attended and reviewed
Speaker 2: by professional reviewers whom I do not know and have
Speaker 2: no contacts with, and somehow have to cold email and
Speaker 2: convince to come to this idiot's show and then write
Speaker 2: and publish a review about it. I received the email
Speaker 2: that my visa application for endorsement had been rejected while pooping.
Speaker 1: No wow, Okay, that was showed you a little bit
Speaker 1: about where I'm at in terms of my voice just now.
Speaker 1: That is horrible or well, not so horrible. I mean
Speaker 1: it's two things. It was one good thing went bad.
Speaker 1: I was already in a humble space.
Speaker 3: You were vulnerable.
Speaker 1: I was very I couldn't have been more vulnerable.
Speaker 3: I was absolutely down.
Speaker 1: Then they can feel right when you let your guard down,
Speaker 1: that's when they strike.
Speaker 2: He said, Oh, she's pooping. Send the email, send it out,
Speaker 2: send her the pro forma.
Speaker 3: So it's just going to be some more.
Speaker 1: I have to Are you actually gonna try to make
Speaker 1: like a one? I have no choice, I have to.
Speaker 2: They did not accept the reviews I submitted where I
Speaker 2: was part of a lineup of comedians. They said it's
Speaker 2: not enough individual focus on you or enough critique of
Speaker 2: your work. And I said, uh, I've only been doing
Speaker 2: stand up comedy for a year and a half. I
Speaker 2: don't want someone to come critique my work individually.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Hey, girl, sounds like you're about to mount a show.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go run around about to mount
Speaker 1: a show, You're gonna have to run around find teammates.
Speaker 1: And sounds like something we might have just watched.
Speaker 3: But sometime you're talking about going into that.
Speaker 1: Something for a little bit, hey girl, heyyear old under
Speaker 1: that energy. Gosh, well, I am just I am just
Speaker 1: testing the waters of ultimate extreme exhaust. I'm just seeing
Speaker 1: how far I can take it. Oh boy, this is
Speaker 1: kind of my like my big week, which I knew
Speaker 1: it was going to be for months now, the final
Speaker 1: week of October. These shows, I have two, I have
Speaker 1: two shows a night when I do it, and I'm
Speaker 1: doing four nights in a row.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: And I just did my second night last night and
Speaker 1: my voice is already kind of gone. I should have
Speaker 1: I didn't warm up before. And the difference is very,
Speaker 1: very very clear. Yeah, yesterday I was puppet master on
Speaker 1: a short film, and I gotta tell you, being somebody
Speaker 1: on a set who's like a specialist slash someone who
Speaker 1: gets an assistant instead of being an assistant. I get
Speaker 1: why people get addicted to that, because because we're losing you.
Speaker 1: It was well, I was not good at having an assistant.
Speaker 1: I literally was like, go do something else, that's completely fine.
Speaker 1: Oh this person was very good at being an assistant, though.
Speaker 1: I gotta say she like stood in the room while
Speaker 1: I was doing stuff even though I had nothing to
Speaker 1: give her yet. And then eventually she went, Sienna, is
Speaker 1: there anything you need for me? And I said, and
Speaker 1: she said, I'm gonna go downstairs. If you need anything,
Speaker 1: you text me and I'll be here. I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure you don't need anything. And I was like,
Speaker 1: that is how you should be. I'm always just like
Speaker 1: wandering behind somebody in a really creepy way when I'm
Speaker 1: like supposed to be assistant.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: And also like it's never clear as the assistant that
Speaker 2: you have the right.
Speaker 1: To not yeah the room. This person was I think
Speaker 1: older than us, and like she just she just just
Speaker 1: knows the deal. She was just sort of like this
Speaker 1: is there's so much going on, I gotta get out
Speaker 1: of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, I was like, give her to work. So,
Speaker 1: uh that's one thing I learned yesterday. I guess my
Speaker 1: uh hay girls sort of all over the place because
Speaker 1: I really just I'm I'm so tired. One thing, I've
Speaker 1: been very exhausted because of this show I'm doing, and
Speaker 1: it's just been a big week of work too. And
Speaker 1: last week my roommates went to do a Halloween thing.
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 1: I texted you about this, but I was so exhausted.
Speaker 1: I literally like drove home and couldn't remember who drove home,
Speaker 1: because I drove my friends home, and once I got home,
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, who did that? Was it me?
Speaker 1: Or well, no, that's it was like dangerously tired, and
Speaker 1: I got in. I had taken I had run into
Speaker 1: my friends after my show and the parties that were
Speaker 1: all over, but then some of them wanted to go
Speaker 1: to this late night show that our friend was in,
Speaker 1: and some wanted to get food and then go to
Speaker 1: a party. And I really wanted to get food, but
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go to a party. So my
Speaker 1: friends were going to the show, said we would get
Speaker 1: food right after this person's act, and so we went
Speaker 1: to the show, and of course we ended up staying
Speaker 1: for the show for longer, and of course we didn't
Speaker 1: end up getting food, and it was whatever I knew
Speaker 1: it would go like that. But I drove back and
Speaker 1: then turns out my other friends had gone to get
Speaker 1: food and hadn't gone to a party. They'd just come
Speaker 1: home and watched you two and I saw them and
Speaker 1: I literally burst into tears.
Speaker 3: That is though, that is how sleepy I was. And
Speaker 3: they were like, what what happened?
Speaker 1: What did we do?
Speaker 3: And I'm like it's nothing.
Speaker 1: It's the exhaustion, it's the everything, it's the it's the
Speaker 1: extreme envy of you sitting down right now, Yes, uncontrollable,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, to be sitting down.
Speaker 3: So I've had a lot of you know, but this
Speaker 3: is the problem.
Speaker 1: Is is that it's going to be done soon and
Speaker 1: I'll go, thank God, I'm done with that crazy busy week.
Speaker 1: I'll get to relax and then I'll have nothing to
Speaker 1: do and be depressed. Right, isn't life a bit Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: speaking of life being a bitch? No, I'm speaking, I know, well,
Speaker 1: speaking of mounting a show from earlier.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, remember remember remember that.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this little film we watched called The Producers,
Speaker 1: shall we?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Siana, we will you please perform a synopsis of the muvie,
Speaker 2: Oh My God of movie musical The Producers.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 1: The Producers, a notoriously lousy Broadway producer played by Nathan
Speaker 1: Lane and a nervous accountant who was always dreamed of
Speaker 1: being a Broadway producer played by Matthew Broderick, realize that
Speaker 1: it may be possible to make more money from a
Speaker 1: flop than a hit, and so they set out to
Speaker 1: make the worst most defensive show imaginable. They go about
Speaker 1: town gathering incompetent and insured and absurd teammates. They meet
Speaker 1: Uma Thurman, who's playing a woman named ullah Uda, and
Speaker 1: they create a show called Springtime for hitlert Uh. It
Speaker 1: is a very old school Broadway Vaudeville goof Time, goofy Time,
Speaker 1: goof Time, goof Time? What time is it? Goof time?
Speaker 1: And spoiler alert, the show ends up being a hit
Speaker 1: instead of a flop. Want wops the end? Yay yay yay.
Speaker 1: Unadd break, unad break.
Speaker 2: We're takking unad break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back in three minutes. Do some accounting. Yay,
Speaker 1: Well the only show we'll get right into our notes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're both killed.
Speaker 2: I think I should say up top, you remember when
Speaker 2: we worked at a bar studio. Yeah, people would call
Speaker 2: in and be like, I didn't check my bank statement
Speaker 2: for twelve months and I didn't realize I had a
Speaker 2: subscription to this bar class. Can you refund me for
Speaker 2: twelve months worth of membership? And we were like no, Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: due to the language and your contract that you agree to,
Speaker 2: and due to the fact that it's not our fault
Speaker 2: that you didn't check your bank account, and often the
Speaker 2: refrain was, oh.
Speaker 1: I wish I could give you a loan. H oh,
Speaker 1: I wish I could give you a loan, but I
Speaker 1: cannot give you alone.
Speaker 2: Watching sitting in front of this movie today, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: I wish I could be watching this film.
Speaker 1: I wish I could be taking me how I wish
Speaker 1: I could be in another body of my own. Wish
Speaker 1: I could be enjoying this, this this piece.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: So that's the energy that my notes have. If it
Speaker 2: seems that there's an absence in them, it's my spirit.
Speaker 1: There's an absence present.
Speaker 2: She was elsewhere. Yeah, there's the presence of an absence.
Speaker 1: Okay, I will take this into account. Well, I think
Speaker 1: we should say up top, we both really liked this movie, right,
Speaker 1: We were excited for her.
Speaker 2: All love have to have fond memories. Me too, all
Speaker 2: the songs was singing along. Remembered a lot of the
Speaker 2: lines from me too.
Speaker 3: Now I may have met.
Speaker 1: Oh us trying to for anything I say on this recording.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: I of course, as we know, was in a Melbrooks
Speaker 1: cabaret for Seattle, Washington's Broadway Bound Theater Camp and it
Speaker 1: was a one. Yeah, I played Leah Bloom, so of
Speaker 1: course I remember. Now I want to be a producer
Speaker 1: with a hitch show on Broadway?
Speaker 2: Yes, how did they Did they gender bend all of
Speaker 2: the womanizing in that song?
Speaker 3: I think they must have.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's tough.
Speaker 2: Because it's like, oh cool if they didn't, but then
Speaker 2: you're still womanizing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, is there a bunch of womanizing in that song.
Speaker 2: In the choreography more so than the lyrics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the station, so maybe it. Yeah, we didn't
Speaker 1: have all that stuff. We just had a wig and me.
Speaker 2: Okay, a wig and me a life story. Uh, I
Speaker 2: arrived in Los Angeles with a wig and.
Speaker 3: Me and a wig and me.
Speaker 1: Can we just discuss upfront what do we think of
Speaker 1: what do we make of this?
Speaker 5: Hmm?
Speaker 2: I the gay part I was a little bit like
Speaker 2: Sleigh like. It was just so camp and over the top.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: I just enjoyed the Nazism. It hits differently now. I
Speaker 2: think in two thousand and five around then we could
Speaker 2: kind of be like, oh lool, because Nazis at the
Speaker 2: time were such a horrible thing, and yeah, I see
Speaker 2: how this is like crazy offensive to be doing for
Speaker 2: this audience. Unfortunately, now we have nazis.
Speaker 1: Yeah and so, and we're like quite as like, lol,
Speaker 1: we're literally a matter of hours away from finding out
Speaker 1: if we're going to have a dictator of our own.
Speaker 1: And it's very very frightening. It's very frightening. So it's
Speaker 1: no longer the escapist piece. Yeah, in fact, this will
Speaker 1: be coming out after the election. Yeah.
Speaker 2: What really struck me this time was the womanizing because
Speaker 2: when you watch that as a kid, and you, yeah,
Speaker 2: you get true seeing women's bodies in films, TV and
Speaker 2: music videos and just everywhere in an that powering way.
Speaker 1: Right, I was like ooh.
Speaker 2: At the same time, it was choreographed and directed by.
Speaker 3: A woman, And by the end, I was like, now
Speaker 3: that's why. Yeah, now that's.
Speaker 1: Exactly what I said. That is exactly what I said.
Speaker 1: I said, Oh, that's why, because I have to say why.
Speaker 1: This movie altogether held up a lot better than I thought.
Speaker 1: And again I was bracing myself. I thought this would
Speaker 1: be more kind of not hateful, but like, hmm, what's
Speaker 1: like bullying, But in fact it's just incredibly camp and slay. Yes,
Speaker 1: camp and slay. And I felt that way about a
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff actually even the old lady part,
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, you old crone or he called
Speaker 1: them that once. But I expected him to be a
Speaker 1: lot more like, oh, this is disgusting, But he was
Speaker 1: kind of nice to the old women that he was
Speaker 1: like ookaing up with. And I don't know, there's pretty
Speaker 1: good hearted intentions behind a lot of this film. And
Speaker 1: that's one of those things where once I see that
Speaker 1: it's directed by a woman, I'm like, well, there you go.
Speaker 1: Well that's why I think someone who knew that people exist,
Speaker 1: that the people are people. Yeah, because women can never
Speaker 1: do anything something. I feel.
Speaker 2: There's something also to be said for a lot of
Speaker 2: the womanizing being portrayed by Nathan Lane.
Speaker 1: Yes, such a lovable, lovable actor. Totally and very there
Speaker 1: is very absolutely the knowledge glicitly gay irl. Yeah, you're like,
Speaker 1: this feels safe in a way that a lot of
Speaker 1: the time on screen womanizing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, does not.
Speaker 1: Totally. And I also Ula I thought would be also more.
Speaker 1: My memory of her was that it was funny, but
Speaker 1: I was like, we'll see how this is.
Speaker 3: But I loved Ula.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, she was having so much fun and love.
Speaker 2: He's having a great time, She's just doing what she
Speaker 2: wants to be, doing what she wants to do. And
Speaker 2: her song, while yes, it's playing to the male gaze,
Speaker 2: it's all about like rockin' and own in your body
Speaker 2: and yeah, like this is me, You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. She's like, yeah, I just have an incredible body,
Speaker 1: so I want to just swing it around and show
Speaker 1: it to everyone.
Speaker 3: It's gonna yeah.
Speaker 1: And then when she does her little dance, it's not
Speaker 1: like it's just her wiggling her hips.
Speaker 2: Great, Yes, she's silly, she's goofy. I was very guess
Speaker 2: exactly what she wants as well.
Speaker 3: She gets married to this band so that he'll do it.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: Well, Leanna, I'm gonna read some of your notes. Despite
Speaker 1: it all, Leanna, you said I do love a musical
Speaker 1: thank you, so that you have trying desperately down in
Speaker 1: an absolute FuG FuG of existence.
Speaker 2: I was in a damn thug. I'm on two laptops
Speaker 2: at once, because technically I'm doing my day job at this.
Speaker 2: On my other laptop, I'm emailing trying to book in
Speaker 2: a venue for a one woman show that doesn't exist,
Speaker 2: and on my phone, I'm taking notes slash replying to
Speaker 2: messages from people suggesting other venues to possibly reach out to.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, show that I have not written, unprofortunately unfortunately.
Speaker 1: I love this, that this is happening. I know for
Speaker 1: you this is hell, and I would also feel the hell.
Speaker 3: It's horrible, but.
Speaker 1: Similar to watching the Producers me just watching your life.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Also, if there's any way I can
Speaker 1: help you, I would love to thank you. I know
Speaker 1: I can't know anyone with the professional If you know
Speaker 1: anyone who works for The Guardian or the Times, U huh.
Speaker 1: It's very I mean, kind of comically so, but it's
Speaker 1: very just good old Broadway, like they're going to give
Speaker 1: you a big finish there, gonna give you a one last,
Speaker 1: one last verse. They're gonna do a little dance number
Speaker 1: along with it. They're gonna give a little I jumped it.
Speaker 2: I really love a movie musical that actually commits to
Speaker 2: the music.
Speaker 3: It commits so hard it was very entertaining. It really
Speaker 3: didn't get like this.
Speaker 2: Chicago Cabaret does this kind of They just like they
Speaker 2: accept and embrace that they are a musical.
Speaker 1: What didn't do this was Mean Girls. The new version.
Speaker 2: Yes, half asked it and it pissed me so much,
Speaker 2: whereas this one was like, it's Nathan Lane in a
Speaker 2: jail cell, but the jail cell is filled with lights
Speaker 2: and interesting jail cell choreography, and it's extremely wonderful and fun.
Speaker 3: I can play a part of it.
Speaker 1: At the end of that number, oh yeah, and I
Speaker 1: had goosebumps as well. Oh Lehana, you said something very funny.
Speaker 1: You said, I want everything I've ever seen in the movies.
Speaker 1: A woman would never say this.
Speaker 3: It's true. Those aren't really good things most of the
Speaker 3: time for the women.
Speaker 2: No, Leo Bloom comes out of realizing he's gonna be
Speaker 2: a producer and he's.
Speaker 6: Like, I want it.
Speaker 1: I want everything I've ever seen in the movies.
Speaker 2: And I was like, ooh, have you seen the movies?
Speaker 2: I guess as a man, yeah, I know, maybe you
Speaker 2: would want that.
Speaker 3: I felt a.
Speaker 1: Pang of that for all of his stuff that he
Speaker 1: was singing about. It's like, okay, yeah, all the things
Speaker 1: you get being a producer. We know some famous producers
Speaker 1: that got a lot of stuff and now they're in jail.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, mm hmm. That's a sobering thought. It's like,
Speaker 1: that's something you should want to be that bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to be that so I can get all
Speaker 1: the stuff that comes along with it.
Speaker 3: Yikes.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's some things that Leanna has said in her state.
Speaker 1: She said, here's the quote, I'm not going into the toilet,
Speaker 1: I'm going into show business. Leanna says, Lol, well, I'm
Speaker 1: going into the toilet. And then you've said, and then
Speaker 1: you've said as quick as possible, me writing a one
Speaker 1: woman show. It's really you should have said mounting. It's
Speaker 1: less writing, it's much more mounted.
Speaker 3: You're taking you this whole movie. You're like, all right,
Speaker 3: taking notes.
Speaker 1: Damn it. Oh fuck me. It's the embodiment of shit
Speaker 1: my ass. It really is. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean you've received this news while literally pooping and
Speaker 2: now have to write a one woman show. Mount a
Speaker 2: one woman show. Truly, shit my ass?
Speaker 3: Oh this one too. They're there where where me.
Speaker 1: That's actually a really hard note to say. I think
Speaker 1: I do this to you a lot often. I wrote,
Speaker 1: I write down a quote and then a thought, and
Speaker 1: you have to really perform the whole. I'm sorry. It's
Speaker 1: when I'm starting to try to I'm mastering.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna change. But yeah, Max is comforting. Will
Speaker 2: Ferrell's character. He's like, they're there, and Will Ferrell's like,
Speaker 2: yeah there, and I was like, yeah me.
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell is so funny in this. I adore him
Speaker 1: in this. This is the kind of thing where you
Speaker 1: see him and you go, I mean, that's a star
Speaker 1: right there. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: He gives it all up. He gives it all up
Speaker 3: on the stage, dog I do.
Speaker 1: One of the things I love about Will Ferrell is
Speaker 1: he's kind of like he can be sort of a
Speaker 1: subdued funny guy if he wants to be, the kind
Speaker 1: that's sort of like just kind of the sort of
Speaker 1: funny guy in your class type. But also he's a
Speaker 1: theater kid. He's a star.
Speaker 3: He's a star.
Speaker 1: Henna, Oh Mike, He's got it. He's got it.
Speaker 3: He really does.
Speaker 2: I love the line he says where he says we
Speaker 2: lived it's the back right across from Switzerland. All you
Speaker 2: ever heard was yodling. Amazing to say that you lived
Speaker 2: at the back of a country is so funny. So
Speaker 2: much of this movie is so quotable, except that you
Speaker 2: can't just like say that out loud, right. You can't
Speaker 2: just like when when you're having a coffee with your girls,
Speaker 2: be like, hello all the producers.
Speaker 1: Remember when he's like, I.
Speaker 3: Was never a member of Sanazi Party.
Speaker 1: You know when I laughed, I like a moment that
Speaker 1: surprised me. It surprised me until laughter was hmm. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so many things so funny about this film. But
Speaker 1: once they finally do the the end number or they
Speaker 1: the springtime for Hitler is really quite a production, and
Speaker 1: like all of that women in tanks as like, it's
Speaker 1: like so funny and over the top. And the parts
Speaker 1: that really had me laughing were when the women start
Speaker 1: dancing and they're like German Nazi World War two uniforms
Speaker 1: like short shorts.
Speaker 3: They're dancing and they go they go to one side
Speaker 3: and one guy goes like, I was.
Speaker 1: Born and that's my nor and then they dance the
Speaker 1: other side. Then this guy goes to me, stupid, be
Speaker 1: a smarty, come and join the Nazi party. I left
Speaker 1: so hard. And then they keep dancing and they're going
Speaker 1: throwing grenades and stuff.
Speaker 2: When they tap the ground it's gunshots and yeah, like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I completely agree that.
Speaker 1: Number so much.
Speaker 2: And they did the perfect thing with it where you're
Speaker 2: watching it very appalled, and then it cuts cause you're
Speaker 2: watching it like wait a second, is this okay?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: That they're doing this totally and then it cuts to
Speaker 2: the audience and they're completely appalled and it's so funny
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, good, okay, so they know they
Speaker 2: obviously know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone know. The whole point is that yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: And it's so over the top in a direction that
Speaker 1: is yeah, it's a very they they went the right
Speaker 1: direction with it. It's not too detailed about anything. It's
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, it's it's more uh, writing lyrics with
Speaker 1: these historical terms, like when he's like, pile me, it's a.
Speaker 2: Mile to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no greater dictator in the land. Leonna.
Speaker 3: You said this ending walked, so the end of Paddington
Speaker 3: two can run. Oh right, so true.
Speaker 2: Ending with a number, very fanciful of a bunch of
Speaker 2: people in jail having a good time, just.
Speaker 1: Very you said, just very genuinely high quality dancing. I
Speaker 1: felt that often through this movie. I went they they
Speaker 1: had people, but just bring it. Oh it's people, just
Speaker 1: brought it. Did you notice some Andrea Martin was in
Speaker 1: this and I saw her in the credits, and I said,
Speaker 1: during the Old Lady dance. I was like, wait a second, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and had I been watching the film, absolutely seen her.
Speaker 1: She was so great.
Speaker 2: Everybody was so just all of the ensemble members. Who
Speaker 2: are I Just Another thing I loved is they clearly
Speaker 2: had Broadway performers, yes in this movie, Yes, just people
Speaker 2: who know how to sell Broadway. Even then their toes
Speaker 2: were pointed, yeah, and their limbs were extended. Everything was intentional.
Speaker 2: There was so much intentionality behind every movement. Oh, I
Speaker 2: had no idea w Uma Thurman was such a song
Speaker 2: and dance person. Well, it's because she was not allowed
Speaker 2: to speak in pulp fiction. Yeah, the other film we've
Speaker 2: seen her in she just overdosed on drugs. And then
Speaker 2: was it's insane that that's what she's more whatever known for.
Speaker 1: I was like, she was so good in this. She
Speaker 1: was so good.
Speaker 3: She's such a good dancer.
Speaker 1: I know. Well, Leana, should we move on to badges
Speaker 1: and trages?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Your final notes, By the way, we've we talked about it,
Speaker 1: but just to reiterate are that this was directed by
Speaker 1: a woman, so no wonder it's so great. And also
Speaker 1: she was the choreographer, which it does. It does make sense,
Speaker 1: it does. I loved that so much.
Speaker 2: I was like, it makes so much sense to have
Speaker 2: the choreographer also direct the camera, Like if you're directing
Speaker 2: the movement of the people, you should also be in
Speaker 2: charge of the movement of the camera, right, and how
Speaker 2: it's seeing the people. And that's why it also was
Speaker 2: so good, Like that's what, Oh, that's why it feels
Speaker 2: like it captures Broadway so well. You really feel like
Speaker 2: you're watching a musical and not just like that's so
Speaker 2: true filmed a dance. Yeah, oh, I really I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Unfortunately I love it and you've got it,
Speaker 1: flunked it your ads and stretch your stuff. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back after these messages.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Oh I already said that. Well, Leona, let's move on
Speaker 1: to badges and trages, where we give badges for.

Speaker 1: that there was a real point to the movie.
Speaker 3: That it's like, Oh, they are.
Speaker 1: Going to try to make a bad show because they
Speaker 1: can make more money that way. Maybe just like, yes,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have that moment or that light bulb moment
Speaker 1: that goes along with the musica. Oh wait, ye, here's
Speaker 1: what the show is gonna be about. And I got
Speaker 1: so excited when I remember that. I love a movie
Speaker 1: with a point. It's very comforting. It is, it's very comforting.
Speaker 2: I my first badge is a badge for this woman

Speaker 2: the movie. My next badge just for yes, I.
Speaker 1: Remember that being funny, and it was like fifty times
Speaker 1: funnier than I even remember. Oh my god, so much of.
Speaker 2: This holds up so well because it's it's either like
Speaker 2: slapstick or physical comedy, or just like the intonation with
Speaker 2: which you say something that makes it so funny.
Speaker 1: This movie wasn't afraid to just get the very best,
Speaker 1: the very best performers.

Speaker 1: know where oh if your intention, but anyway, this is.
Speaker 3: A perfect actor.

Speaker 1: it's a fascinating thing because it's it was not from
Speaker 1: a gentle time of the culture. It should be.
Speaker 3: It should be.
Speaker 1: Problematic on levels, on certain levels, and you know, on
Speaker 1: certain levels, yes, the whole thing, but it really did
Speaker 1: something very modern. It really holds up in being very
Speaker 1: camp and very cunty. Yeah, it was just so fun. Also,

Speaker 1: of these over the years. Yeah, it's just a Jewish ice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so funny.
Speaker 3: Trag is a you can go first, Okay, just don't trage.
Speaker 2: For it's this wasn't even fat phobic. I just am
Speaker 2: sad for this woman in the number. There's just like
Speaker 2: ugly woman that they make fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's like, it's so weird and her ugly
Speaker 1: is actually like she just is a little shorter and
Speaker 1: like has curly hair. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was so
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, I actually this does mean to women.
Speaker 1: It was mean, this is two thousand and five.
Speaker 3: Yes, totally.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I have a trauge for I have a tradge for
Speaker 1: when he says your dirty old buzzard after the he
Speaker 1: whisks off one of the old women and the whole
Speaker 1: thing isn't mean, but that when I was just like, oh,
Speaker 1: come on, do anything she's paying you in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, trage for women's rights. Yeah, in
Speaker 2: the sense of there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 2: of body on screen. Yeah, for the dance core yeah,
Speaker 2: which I dancer is very hot, but it's a deep
Speaker 2: imbalanced gender wise. Yeah, you see a lot of woman's
Speaker 2: body in the film.
Speaker 3: Definitely trage for.
Speaker 1: If we were to look at this in terms of
Speaker 1: the character's values, certainly, you know, like our sweet Leo
Speaker 1: wanting to have all the things that a producer has
Speaker 1: and yeah, and all the as you said, the womanizing
Speaker 1: and things like that, they're definitely you know, you know
Speaker 1: what you're getting into. It's very over the top and
Speaker 1: it's very there's a lot of wowie zowie kind of moments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, h.
Speaker 2: A trage for I don't care for this song. I
Speaker 2: don't even remember a single word or tune from it,
Speaker 2: but it's the first song that Leo Bloom sings about
Speaker 2: Ula when they're alone in the producer's office, and at
Speaker 2: the end of that.
Speaker 1: Face that face, that marvelous face.
Speaker 2: I get that they have to establish that the two
Speaker 2: of them are for each other, but.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The point of that song is that he just keeps
Speaker 1: turning to the camera and singing straight forward. She'll try
Speaker 1: to give him a kiss a little bit, and then
Speaker 1: he'll just go back and hm hmmm, which is pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Not that he just keeps being distracted by other things,
Speaker 1: but that he keeps facing the camera. Yeah, trage for
Speaker 1: some of the moments behind to keep it gay. The thing,
Speaker 1: the way that I felt about it was that I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm enjoying it, but I don't know, like,
Speaker 1: if I were to talk to the people creating it
Speaker 1: at the time, I'm not the things that I was like, slay,
Speaker 1: slay slay, I think they'd be like, what, No, this
Speaker 1: was supposed to be like a joke.
Speaker 3: This is supposed to be bad, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway I have there's a trag for an energy
Speaker 2: of hey, are we sure that everyone's okay with this?
Speaker 2: Where obviously do a Hitler musical is insane? Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you know, maybe not the best and uh at the
Speaker 2: end when the police come in and they're all Irish like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I see, I understand why you're making this joke.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure about it. It's very it's
Speaker 1: just so vaudevillian, like when they can make there be
Speaker 1: a character and the thing is is like very caricature, right,
Speaker 1: So like when they can go okay, and then how
Speaker 1: about there's a bum in between these guys who's also
Speaker 1: singing with them?
Speaker 3: Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we need an old lady, we need a
Speaker 1: hot lady, we need an ugly lady, we need a
Speaker 1: bumb we need a Nazi, we need an Irish guy,
Speaker 1: we need a fat guy. You know all these things
Speaker 1: where you're like it's like setting up like all of
Speaker 1: those guys walk into a bar. Yeah, exactly one of
Speaker 1: those jokes. Yeah, yeah, and it's Vaudeville, is an almost
Speaker 1: impossible ship to land, ship to steer.
Speaker 3: I will say, like.
Speaker 1: Port, you see these are the places where you go, Okay,
Speaker 1: well this is the part I see why, Like.
Speaker 3: It's it's this, this old school.
Speaker 1: Entertainment can be enjoyed. But you said when it misses
Speaker 1: the mark, you're not surprised at ye all. Yeah, final
Speaker 1: trage is definitely there's fat phobic for sure, Like it's
Speaker 1: it's not definitely. One of the caricatures that they like
Speaker 1: to do is just like, let's call this character fat
Speaker 1: and that's bad, fat fat, fatty fat fat. I'm not
Speaker 1: that fat fat.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I have a trage for making light of
Speaker 2: the US carceral system.
Speaker 1: I always feel weird about that too. I always do
Speaker 1: to Deville. But yeah, no, whenever they have dancing prisoners,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you understand that we've created hell, right, We've
Speaker 1: created a living hell and it's completely unjust. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: My final trage is generally insensitive.
Speaker 1: Again, I think it held up a lot, like I
Speaker 1: didn't feel I didn't feel gross, but yeah, if you're
Speaker 1: feeling really sad about war, this has a lot of
Speaker 1: war stuff. If you're feeling really sad about Yeah, the
Speaker 1: cartinal system. If you're feeling really sad about sexism, if
Speaker 1: you're feeling you know, like if you're having a time
Speaker 1: where you're gonna see all that, it's gonna be in
Speaker 1: this movie, but you will be reminded you any more trages.
Speaker 3: No, that's it. Well, Leona, I believe you have a heart,
Speaker 3: so I guess we should keep going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's keep going.
Speaker 2: My heart out is mounting a one woman I have
Speaker 2: a heart out one woman show in thirteen minutes.
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Well, Leana, shall we move on to
Speaker 1: our next segment? Of course? How to pretend you've seen
Speaker 1: this film? This is for you are at opening night
Speaker 1: of Leanna's One Woman show, opening and closing night. It's
Speaker 1: a one time thing. I'm gonna need that sign and
Speaker 1: shenning in line. You're excited, this person goes.
Speaker 3: I hear. It's pretty high stakes this this show.
Speaker 1: You know, it reminds me of another show I've seen,
Speaker 1: one that I prefer because it's not about women. Actually,
Speaker 1: one that I prefer because, yeah, there's one woman I
Speaker 1: really like because I like to look at her, and
Speaker 1: the other ones are the guys who want what I want,
Speaker 1: which is to be a famous producer with power and money.
Speaker 1: And you go, ooh, I don't think you got out
Speaker 1: of that what you were supposed to get out of
Speaker 1: that movie? He says, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's called the
Speaker 1: Producer's Producer Baby.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you all about to stop Max.
Speaker 2: I guess in order to stop Max from producing you,
Speaker 2: We're gonna give you a few sentences you can say
Speaker 2: to pretend you've seen the film The Producers.
Speaker 1: This movie also looked so fun to be in.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, don't even get me so get me started. Oh, yes, Max,
Speaker 2: I've seen The Producers. Could you just please leave me
Speaker 2: alone and go to the bathroom? And Max says, but
Speaker 2: I don't have to, and I say.
Speaker 1: Try try think of Niagara Falls. Yes, Max, I've seen
Speaker 1: the film The Producers two thousand and five. Fun fact
Speaker 1: which I think you and I will both be happy
Speaker 1: to hear, because I was stressed about this and I
Speaker 1: wonder if you were too. Fun fact that Matthew Broderick
Speaker 1: wore an ear plug in one ear when Nathan Lane
Speaker 1: has to get up really close.
Speaker 3: To scream in his ear.
Speaker 1: Never put your own money in the show. Your own
Speaker 1: money in the show. He was so I was stressed
Speaker 1: about that. Yes, I loved it. I'm just like, I
Speaker 1: love it when Nathan Lane yelled me too, he's so funny. Okay,
Speaker 1: another fun fact. Because I think there's so many in this,
Speaker 1: I have to double him up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nathan Lane.
Speaker 1: Shaved the top of his head in order to create
Speaker 1: a realistic comb over, which, by the way, is a
Speaker 1: huge brag that He's like, yeah, my hair ahead of
Speaker 1: hair is so full, I'm just gonna he had to
Speaker 1: shave it down.
Speaker 2: Wow, Oh Max, I've seen the producers. Please get over yourself.
Speaker 2: You can be better than this. Don't you realize there's
Speaker 2: a lot more to you than there is to you.
Speaker 3: I loved that line, there's so much more, so much.
Speaker 2: I tried to make that my senior quote in the
Speaker 2: yearbook really because there was a photo of me in
Speaker 2: front of a fountain.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're like a.
Speaker 2: Fountain, don't you realize? I love about that so much
Speaker 2: that Nathan Lane says there's a lot more to you
Speaker 2: than there is to you, and then he turns towards
Speaker 2: the camera and he just mouths, what the fuck.
Speaker 1: Good? I love this? Oh my gosh, I forgot to
Speaker 1: say that I loved the songs in this, but like
Speaker 1: listening to the lyrics, it just felt like mel Brooks
Speaker 1: sat down and wrote them in one sitting anyway. Fun fact, Yes, Max,
Speaker 1: I have seen the movie.
Speaker 3: I have seen the film The Producers.
Speaker 1: Fun fact. Melbrook originally wrote the music by humming the
Speaker 1: melodies to the songs into a tape recorder and having
Speaker 1: friends who were musically literate write them down onto staff paper.
Speaker 1: Oh isn't that cute.
Speaker 3: He's just such a He's like.
Speaker 1: I got a song in my heart and I gotta
Speaker 1: sing it. Yes, it figures not much. I have a
Speaker 1: secret desire.
Speaker 4: Hiding deep in my soul. It that's my heart of
Speaker 4: fire to see me in this rule To.
Speaker 1: Me, we're singing at the same time, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if we are.
Speaker 2: For you to me, we're also singing it at the
Speaker 2: same great so there's almost no way that we are. Yeah,
Speaker 2: beautiful O, Max, I saw you coming, and I'm actually
Speaker 2: starting the conversation first so that you can't. For the
Speaker 2: last sixteen months, I have been touring in No No.
Speaker 2: And then Max says, you played Nietzsche. No No, No No,
Speaker 2: I love that so funny. No No, I love the
Speaker 2: audition seen so much when, oh my god, the assistant.
Speaker 6: Goes Jacques Lapidia, Jacques leap Jack Lapides, Jack Lapidies. I
Speaker 6: mean that is so funny, Juq Lapidia.
Speaker 3: Truly Roger Bart is my new hero.
Speaker 1: Oh mm hmmm, aw.
Speaker 3: Yes, Max, I've seen the film The Producers.
Speaker 6: Yay.
Speaker 1: Roger Bart was nominated for a two thousand and one
Speaker 1: Tony Award for Supporting or Featured Actor in Broadway. Wait
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, so he must have been in
Speaker 1: the when it was on broad Broadway one too, Thank goodness.
Speaker 1: Oh I love that.
Speaker 2: I also love so much when they bring an actor
Speaker 2: from the Broadway show to be in the movie version,
Speaker 2: me too. I think that's so good.
Speaker 1: They bring so much pizzazz, so descrived. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: the pizzazz is unmatched. He was drunk, You got lucky.
Speaker 2: Don't ever call here again.
Speaker 1: It sets my heart of fire to see me in
Speaker 1: this role, Ciana.
Speaker 2: Let's roll into our next segment. Yeah, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Should you watch this or this is where we tell
Speaker 2: you if you should watch this movie or if you
Speaker 2: should produce some other if.
Speaker 1: You should produce a one woman show instead?
Speaker 3: Oh Leanna, what do you think.
Speaker 1: You could just do screaming for a lot of it.
Speaker 2: I genuinely, while watching this, I was like, maybe I
Speaker 2: could just sing a song from the Producers at some point.
Speaker 2: I don't need to get like the rights for it
Speaker 2: or anything. I'm not gonna charge admission. I would say
Speaker 2: you could watch The Producers for sure. It's extremely fun
Speaker 2: parts of it. As Siena phrased very well, when the
Speaker 2: vaudeville doesn't land, you're not sobriety. If you don't want
Speaker 2: to watch the whole movie, please watch Nathan Lane's performance
Speaker 2: of the number B trade on YouTube, and.
Speaker 3: It also is a summary of the movie.
Speaker 2: It's a summary of the film as well. What you
Speaker 2: could watch instead is Will and Harper the documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 2: I can't remember if I've talked about it on this
Speaker 2: pod before, but it's Will Ferrell and his friend Harper
Speaker 2: Steele and they go on a road trip and it's
Speaker 2: about Harper traveling back through America after she's transitioned.
Speaker 3: And it's really.
Speaker 1: Beautiful and just a very good document you saw it.
Speaker 1: I watched it. I cried so much. And I never
Speaker 1: watched documentaries. I don't care about them. Yeah, but watching
Speaker 1: this I was like, this is very well done.
Speaker 2: Wow, great Will and Harper on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Sienna, what would you say? I would say, it's actually
Speaker 1: it's actually a very fun movie to watch. Still, this
Speaker 1: was kind of like a this this experience is sort
Speaker 1: of a I like this movie, let's check if it's
Speaker 1: actually good.
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: It's exactly it really delivers on what you want. It's
Speaker 1: exactly what you hope for. Yeah, see exactly what you expect.
Speaker 1: And a little more fun because people are so talented.
Speaker 1: I mean really just watching it for uh, Roger Bart
