Speaker 1: know anything about movies. Today we're watching The Prince of Egypt.
Speaker 1: I shall teach you what to say.
Speaker 3: Is it just called Prince of Egypt? Prince of Egypt?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess warning there will be spoilers about this.
Speaker 1: I'd say biblical, but what does it mean? What's from
Speaker 1: the from the Talmud?
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, you know, I don't know old film, how
Speaker 2: medical old film? I guess content warning for locusts, like
Speaker 2: torture of enslaves, Yeah, locusts and torture of enslaved people,
Speaker 2: but like, I don't know, mainly locusts. No, definitely, I'm
Speaker 2: so interested to talk about like the things that kids
Speaker 2: are used to.
Speaker 3: Seeing, what the fuck.
Speaker 1: It's like right and wrong, and so much about what
Speaker 1: you're learning. So they'll just show torture scenes. I saw
Speaker 1: my torture scenes abuse.
Speaker 3: Would you think of that way? But now that I'm
Speaker 3: an adult watching it, I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, many atrocities. Yes, Sienna, had you
Speaker 2: seen this before?
Speaker 3: Well, let's do our predictions show.
Speaker 2: Okay, Sienna, could I please hear your prediction for Prince
Speaker 2: of Egypt?
Speaker 1: Yuh huh, High Leanna, this is Sienna. I'm about to
Speaker 1: watch the Prince of Egypt. I am sure I've seen
Speaker 1: this a bunch of times because I went to Catholic school.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it in a while.
Speaker 1: It seems like something we'd watch, like a rainy Day
Speaker 1: recess or like.
Speaker 2: Ray Day recess.
Speaker 1: Ye, it's in the library end a lot for an
Speaker 1: after school thing.
Speaker 3: I oh my god.
Speaker 1: Oh I predict that Moses floats down the river in
Speaker 1: a basket and then he does all the Moses stuff and.
Speaker 3: Then is it a musical?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It seems like everyone's seen this movie, and I don't
Speaker 1: understand why, because did you all go to Catholic school?
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 1: Let's see what it's all about.
Speaker 3: I love you, goodbye. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There was a dog that barked and it sounded like
Speaker 1: it was in my house, but it's it was like
Speaker 1: a neighbor's dog all jealous. Okay, Leanna, Well, I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear your prediction.
Speaker 2: Okay, hello, Sienna, na I grew up to watch The
Speaker 2: Prince of Egypt. I don't think I've seen this before,
Speaker 2: but I know Ray finds voice as a character in it.
Speaker 2: Perfect casting. Way to nail that, Disney not Disney. And
Speaker 2: there's a song about sending plagues because the Bible and
Speaker 2: I predict there's going to be a lot of frogs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotter work. Okay, So how many times have
Speaker 1: you seen this movie? What's the relationship with seeing it?
Speaker 2: I think I've seen this once now total including now
Speaker 2: so yesir and then TikTok fed me. Well today, TikTok
Speaker 2: fed me a lot of the plague song over the
Speaker 2: past couple of years and clips.
Speaker 1: When you're in Catholic school or a religious space, this
Speaker 1: is one of the perfect ones for them to slap on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just because God will punish you and they want
Speaker 2: you to learn that.
Speaker 1: I I, uh, well.
Speaker 3: Yes, first of all. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, we'll have to talk about it more after we do. Okay.
Speaker 1: Hey girl, Yeah, hey girl, Hey girl, how are you doing.
Speaker 3: Girl?
Speaker 2: It's been so humid here for like the whole week
Speaker 2: and my body is shutting down. No, I like it.
Speaker 2: It's it's altered me psychologically to the point that I'm like,
Speaker 2: I shouldn't exist as a human person. I have no
Speaker 2: worth as a person because I just feel so sweaty
Speaker 2: and hot and appealing all the time. Yeah, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: no one look at me. I will, I will not,
Speaker 2: I should not be I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: You really have an aversion to dampness. Huh.
Speaker 2: I'm not good with it. And as soon as it
Speaker 2: gets hot, I'm not good at that either. I'm not
Speaker 2: good at being a different temperature than the one that
Speaker 2: I like. And it's like the windows are cracked but
Speaker 2: there's no breeze, so it's just like still air. No, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it's it ain't right.
Speaker 3: I'm on this podcast. We hate being too hot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I ate too much trail mix. And now
Speaker 2: my stomach hurts, which happens every time. I always know
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen, but I do it anyway. I'm my
Speaker 2: father's daughter. He has the same thing with mixed nuts.
Speaker 1: It's hard to eat the right amount of a of
Speaker 1: a snack like that.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: It's hard.
Speaker 2: So now I have a tummy ache, and I'm I'm
Speaker 2: at that point where I'm about to start sweating, and
Speaker 2: that's where I permanently exist in this weather. I'm always
Speaker 2: just about to be clammy, Like you can't feel it
Speaker 2: or see it externally, but I.
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Also very uncomfortable, comfortable, really uncomfort.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: I hate maybe it will be the only woman on
Speaker 2: the lineup, but it's not good tonight. And I'm like
Speaker 2: a sweaty I'm what they think women are, which is
Speaker 2: like ugly and stupid and bad.
Speaker 1: WHOA None of that was relevant to what you've been
Speaker 1: saying about being sweaty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very ugly and stupid and bad. When I'm
Speaker 2: sweaty and humid, I get really ugly, stupid and bad.
Speaker 2: I become a usb. I'm so uncomfortable. I don't know
Speaker 2: what to do. There's nothing to do. I just have to
Speaker 2: sit here. Anyway, when it was raining fire in the film,
Speaker 2: I understood, I was like, I know a bit about that.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. This is such a funny movie to
Speaker 1: watch when you're like not comfortable.
Speaker 2: This movie is not and it's in plague. The Old
Speaker 2: Testament is really a downer, well, Siena, Hey girl, hey.
Speaker 1: Girl, I'm about to get my hair done after this,
Speaker 1: which is again the opposite of what you're doing, which
Speaker 1: is going to an all male mic.
Speaker 3: Yay, my sister's.
Speaker 1: Gonna come with me and we're gonna chat with our
Speaker 1: hair lady. No, that sounds so nice, Okay. The one
Speaker 1: thing that worries me is when I scheduled disappointment, my
Speaker 1: hair looked very bad. Okay, so I was like, let's
Speaker 1: redo everything. I want to get highlights, I want to
Speaker 1: cut it.
Speaker 3: I want to whatever.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now it's actually been looking pretty good because
Speaker 1: it finally go out to the right thing. And so
Speaker 1: I'm like, I probably do need a maintenance haircut so
Speaker 1: it stays so I can grow.
Speaker 3: Out how I want.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of room for error here, because
Speaker 1: if I don't explain what I want, yeah, then what
Speaker 1: I've been.
Speaker 3: Enjoying is gonna get worse.
Speaker 1: And I'm afraid now I already told her, like I
Speaker 1: had her book a lot of time so I could
Speaker 1: get all these highlights.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't really want to have like blonde
Speaker 3: hair when I leave there.
Speaker 1: That doesn't that's maybe I'll just wear an outfit that
Speaker 1: I've been wearing a lot and then go like, can you.
Speaker 2: Make this match the outfit?
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of like I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I've been wearing a lot of the same color scheme
Speaker 1: recently and I don't.
Speaker 2: So you're like, this is what I'm doing. Yeah, please
Speaker 2: get something that vibes with this. Yes, that's genius, thank you, because.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that it's going to be really I'm going
Speaker 1: to get some really blonde streaks.
Speaker 3: In a way that I won't like.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also don't have as much of Usually I
Speaker 1: go for the highlights because my hair is sort of
Speaker 1: a color you can't quite catch, sort of target. You're like,
Speaker 1: I have red hair, make it more orange, make it
Speaker 1: vibrant red, make it more vibrant. But I'm sort of like,
Speaker 1: I don't really know. It's sort of that like German
Speaker 1: nothing color and so uh so I'm just like, make
Speaker 1: it look brighter or bigger.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But apologies again to the country of Germany.
Speaker 3: You know German brown hair that's sort of like.
Speaker 2: It's unnameable.
Speaker 1: A lot of you out there have it, and that's
Speaker 1: o color.
Speaker 2: You're forever chasing. Yeah, and like there's like maybe there's
Speaker 2: a rain for that color. In German, probably they have
Speaker 2: some sort of portmanteau.
Speaker 3: I call it your light brown.
Speaker 2: These days, I would not say, but you're so right.
Speaker 2: I've never had to describe your hair color, and I
Speaker 2: wouldn't know how to. I would say it's curly, but.
Speaker 1: For thank you, that's how the color is.
Speaker 2: Well, listener, if any of you know what Ciana's hair
Speaker 2: color is, please ride in, please tell us. Would walnut?
Speaker 2: Is walnut something? I think I just ate a lot
Speaker 2: of walnut.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's walnut or raisin. Well, Leanna, let's get
Speaker 1: through this, shall we?
Speaker 2: Okay, let's shall Sienna? Could you please give us a
Speaker 2: synopsis of I guess the old testing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of. I didn't want to do that, so sure.
Speaker 1: Oh, the Prince of Egypt, this is the Exodus story,
Speaker 1: which we all know.
Speaker 3: That's right, the second book of the second Book of.
Speaker 1: The Bible, the Exodus story, or part of it anyway,
Speaker 1: Egyptian Prince Moses iconically learns that he was adopted and
Speaker 1: came from Jewish slaves, who, as we might recall, and
Speaker 1: as he might recall, are the people treated like total
Speaker 1: crap by his Egyptian posse. He realizes this is wrong
Speaker 1: and embraces his roots and makes it his mission.
Speaker 3: To set his people free.
Speaker 2: Let my people.
Speaker 1: It starts with him as a baby getting sent down
Speaker 1: the river and ends with the very the second before
Speaker 1: he delivers the Ten Commandments.
Speaker 2: That was him. Yeah, I think, yeah, Oh my god, yeah, baby,
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I would not want to listen to
Speaker 2: that just after crossing the Red Sea. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: are you kidding? I'd be like, shut up, don't tell
Speaker 2: me what to do. I'm just I'm let me catch
Speaker 2: my breath.
Speaker 3: Emma, I was watching this with my brow.
Speaker 2: Shalt not kill you just killed like most of the
Speaker 2: Egyptian Guard.
Speaker 3: We were watching this with Emma.
Speaker 1: My brother's girlfriend too, is Jewish, and she said, it's
Speaker 1: so Jewish quote to uh be so hungry and but
Speaker 1: have to hear a bunch of rules before you're allowed
Speaker 1: to eat.
Speaker 2: Ah, Like, here's a bunch of new rules. Oh my god, hey, everyone,
Speaker 2: new rules, new rules.
Speaker 3: Alert It would be so annoying. Moses goes up, hold up.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank god we had Thank god that we had
Speaker 2: a Jewish perspective in the viewing of this because I
Speaker 2: was really curious.
Speaker 3: We were talking a lot about it.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's similar for her growing up in
Speaker 1: like Hebrews school and okay, yeah, yeah, well this would
Speaker 1: be great because we've got a Catholic.
Speaker 2: A Jew, and just like kind of a non person
Speaker 2: in me like I had, say, a Christian, but I didn't.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I forgot that doesn't No,
Speaker 3: you're right.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we had a Catholic, a Jew, and a
Speaker 2: sweaty woman watching the film, and now let's hear the
Speaker 2: opinions of the three religions.
Speaker 1: Sorry, everybody, we need to take a moment for one
Speaker 1: of the plagues of twenty twenty five ad breaks.
Speaker 2: We'll right back.
Speaker 1: Nice well, Leana, shall we talk about our phone notes?
Speaker 2: Note, I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad you're
Speaker 2: here to shepherd through this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I gotta tell you, Oh my god, I did
Speaker 3: not enjoy this.
Speaker 2: I I can't say that I felt uplifted by the end.
Speaker 1: It's so serious.
Speaker 2: I'd let it. Okay, let's get into it, Sienna Rude.
Speaker 2: Your first note is the animation actually looks so bad. Okay.
Speaker 2: My thinking was, I thought the animation looked really good.
Speaker 3: Oh really?
Speaker 2: Is that wrong?
Speaker 1: I think both things can be true, which is that
Speaker 1: you're probably like for at the time, it's actually pretty
Speaker 1: good just general.
Speaker 2: No, no, I was like, this looks so much better
Speaker 2: than today's animation because today's they really fortnited it, and
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I love two D animation. But to me, this I
Speaker 1: was frustrated because here's what I do not respect. All right,
Speaker 1: take number one.
Speaker 2: Let's hear it.
Speaker 1: So for example, uh, Emma, my brother's fiance, Yes, and
Speaker 1: my friend she's an example. She's a graphic novelist, and
Speaker 1: she's a person who has like a really clear style,
Speaker 1: like she could draw anything in her style, and I
Speaker 1: think that's amazing. I part of this is probably because
Speaker 1: I like to draw, but I can't do that, Like
Speaker 1: I couldn't create yea like a whole style packet for
Speaker 1: a show or for a movie or something. But I
Speaker 1: respect when they're able to give it a cohesive looking style.
Speaker 1: This movie, it felt like somebody just drew a bunch
Speaker 1: of different looking faces that don't go together at all
Speaker 1: and then tried to pass it off. Is that they'd
Speaker 1: done a good job and you can't fool me.
Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, Egypt at the time was
Speaker 2: super diverse.
Speaker 1: It just looked so stylistically huh, wow, I did did you?
Speaker 2: Oh question, did you watch the SD or the HD version?
Speaker 3: No idea, probably h I watched.
Speaker 2: I watched s d X. It was twenty cents cheaper.
Speaker 2: I think I didn't. I think that probably smoothed things
Speaker 2: really nice time.
Speaker 1: I bet it did, because they had all these weird
Speaker 1: three D stuff, you know, like when the the basket
Speaker 1: is going through the water and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, mine was great. Mine was very as it
Speaker 2: was meant to have. Really, I think that's good.
Speaker 3: That's nice.
Speaker 1: I definitely definitely appreciate the two D animation more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just felt so much like this movie wanted to
Speaker 1: be Hercules the whole time to me in terms of vibe,
Speaker 1: except for that they cut out all the there was
Speaker 1: nobody had like the charm that they had.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that you said that, because I thought
Speaker 2: that the High Priests were modeled off of Hades's uh
Speaker 2: huh little gargoyles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they felt completely similar, Leonna. You said, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: one hundred percent insane. They turned this story into an
Speaker 1: animated children's film. I just am like, was somebody did
Speaker 1: somebody ask for this? Because in today's day and age,
Speaker 1: I would think it was completely funded by a Christian organization.
Speaker 2: Mmm. Interesting, I just think they wouldn't this this, this
Speaker 2: would never get made today because everybody would be like,
Speaker 2: I'm not touching that. I'm not getting into all those
Speaker 2: different for Christians too many people. Yeah, I guess maybe
Speaker 2: a mega church would pay to get like a really
Speaker 2: eerie version of an animated film made.
Speaker 3: The number of genus?
Speaker 2: Is this contest is pushing still a Christian agenda?
Speaker 1: Yes, I explain because this is this is my perception,
Speaker 1: because they love any of the good boys of the Bible.
Speaker 2: The good Boys of the Bible, the g b o
Speaker 2: b uh. But it's a story about the Jewish people, right,
Speaker 2: But but the Christians are like Jesus. Yeah, yeah, Jesus was.
Speaker 2: And it's also part of this, Like a suit rich
Speaker 2: synagogue wouldn't pay to have this turned into a face.
Speaker 1: It's a good question.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd have to, I'd have to ask our in house.
Speaker 2: I feel like Christians, though, are the ones who have
Speaker 2: to keep rebranding and being like, no, we're good.
Speaker 1: I also want to convert people.
Speaker 3: That's their whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not saying that there's not propaganda from every church.
Speaker 3: Right there definitely is. There definitely is.
Speaker 2: But from every religion.
Speaker 1: Christians in the US. Yeah, and like religious content, like
Speaker 1: they just they throw down, Oh Siena, you noted and
Speaker 1: thank you. All these white voices, Okay, an all white
Speaker 1: cast again for a tale set in ancient Egypt, a
Speaker 1: country famously in Africa. It was like, it's not just
Speaker 1: that the voices were white, and that's a whole big
Speaker 1: the conversation about whiteness and the original Caucasian, the Jewish culture.
Speaker 3: Okay, whatever, but again.
Speaker 1: Ancient Egypt, these are brown people, safe to assume. But
Speaker 1: on top of that, they didn't even choose They chose
Speaker 1: the whitest possible voices. Val Kilmer, Val Kilmer, Sandra Bullock.
Speaker 2: Girl, what were you doing in this? The songs in
Speaker 2: this were all bad? Oh what was that about? Usually
Speaker 2: the songs are good.
Speaker 1: I feel so gas lit by the fact that anyone
Speaker 1: talks about this film in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 3: Like it is a legitimate musical.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's only one good song, and it's
Speaker 2: the moment that the frogs are hopping out of the river.
Speaker 3: Which song was it?
Speaker 2: I send up pestilence and I just like, unfortunately it
Speaker 2: then gets wrecked by by two white boys singing at
Speaker 2: each other over that sit that sick beat.
Speaker 1: I thought more of the songs. There was so much
Speaker 1: potential for sick beats.
Speaker 2: Every song was bad for the opening lullaby was like, okay,
Speaker 2: fun use of perhaps like Egyptian themes, Egyptian musical theme. Yeah, nope,
Speaker 2: just ease white boys singing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, is this before they figured out the pizzazz
Speaker 1: that cartoons can have? But no, they're not doing it
Speaker 1: for decades.
Speaker 2: There's no was white voices, but not all white. Not
Speaker 2: everybody was a white voice. Let me not a race
Speaker 2: the people who are actually not white in Mulan, but
Speaker 2: also great songs exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you've got they did Aladdin and Aladdin has gotten.
Speaker 2: Away with I missed Aladdin watching this. I missed Aladdin
Speaker 2: because the desert.
Speaker 4: It's like it least it is objectively a careless portrayal
Speaker 4: of that region. But oh sure, yeah, but it's so
Speaker 4: fun that they've I still worked with it for a
Speaker 4: long time, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like, how do we make this because they made it
Speaker 1: a fun time for people to watch all This movie
Speaker 1: was not lit. No, this movie was not lit. It
Speaker 1: was very serious.
Speaker 3: The songs did not slay.
Speaker 2: The song very dead.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that because that's how I felt.
Speaker 3: And I was scared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was scared. What's happening? Nothing is slaying.
Speaker 3: Nothing is slaying. People don't understand.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be slaying.
Speaker 1: Leanna, you said crocodiles and hippos, best of luck baby.
Speaker 1: I recently was in New York City and I went
Speaker 1: to the.
Speaker 2: Med baby died. There's no way that baby lived. Yeah,
Speaker 2: keep going that baby was Moses. Yeah, but come on.
Speaker 3: A new one.
Speaker 2: That baby got flipped upside down by several crocodiles and hippos.
Speaker 1: This is why stories come to be, because somebody saw
Speaker 1: a baby floating down the river and then they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I bet he became a prince. It's like you got
Speaker 1: even by hippo and one bite.
Speaker 2: When when that all happened. When the movie was over,
Speaker 2: I really wanted to ask, like, Okay, so what if
Speaker 2: all of that actually happened? We and do we know?
Speaker 2: And can we know?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. Personally.
Speaker 1: We were talking about it because I'm like, well, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like a legend based on an actual sort
Speaker 1: of historical time, right, And Emma was like, I think
Speaker 1: it's even more like King Arthur, where it's like based
Speaker 1: on a an era slash genre that we can kind
Speaker 1: of click with, Like we know that there were slaves,
Speaker 1: there were people were enslaved in Egypt. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: and sure this is sort of like a story about that,
Speaker 1: like this legend is placed in this Okay. I went
Speaker 1: to the met this year and I found out that hippos.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, tell me what is it? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I love this. What you don't want to hear it
Speaker 2: right now? How they're everywhere?
Speaker 3: Egyptian? Egyptian?
Speaker 2: Now I'm trying, Yes, I want to hear about the hippos.
Speaker 2: Why haven't you told me yet? Tell me? Yeah, what is.
Speaker 3: It in Egyptians?
Speaker 1: Because in ancient Egypt, why, it was like overrun with hippos.
Speaker 1: There were literally so many hippos in the Nile. There
Speaker 1: were straight up I love that so many hippos. That's
Speaker 1: way too many hippos. Because I was, you know, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a sort of sacred.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: They have the Egyptian God. That's a hippo. I remember,
Speaker 1: they're revered for reasons because of their their strength and
Speaker 1: they're whatever. But it's also because there were.
Speaker 2: So many.
Speaker 1: For hippos, and so there was like a royal like
Speaker 1: to prove yourself as a prince, you always you have
Speaker 1: to kill a hippo.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I wouldn't. I wouldn't try. If you
Speaker 2: came face to face with a hippo, how would you
Speaker 2: go about I.
Speaker 3: Actually don't know. I think that's the thing about hippos.
Speaker 1: They're like, you don't you can't get away from that
Speaker 1: if you you see when.
Speaker 2: You're done kind of they're like, So I would maintain
Speaker 2: eye contact and I would back away very slowly, but
Speaker 2: I would not turn my back on a hippo.
Speaker 3: Okay, I feel like it's a respect thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I guess, first of.
Speaker 2: All, I wouldn't disrespect to hippo.
Speaker 3: That's a great point.
Speaker 1: I wonder if the most the safest thing you can
Speaker 1: do is just hop on its back if it runs
Speaker 1: at you.
Speaker 3: And try to write.
Speaker 2: They're so slippery, they are the most tire out the hippo.
Speaker 1: Dan's animal. They're slippery so you can't grab on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have super stronge, they're huge, couldn't have the bigger mouth.
Speaker 1: Weirdly fast, biggest mouth, and they're fine in the water.
Speaker 1: They're fast in the water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cute little ears which are disarmingly charming.
Speaker 3: And yeah, then they charm you.
Speaker 2: Moodang. Moodang is propaganda from big hippo.
Speaker 3: It's so true.
Speaker 2: What are they planning. They're going to come back. There's
Speaker 2: going to be as many hippos as there were in
Speaker 2: ancient Egyptian times.
Speaker 3: Leanne, I have to read some more of your notes.
Speaker 1: You said everyone loves to have a take on the
Speaker 1: sphink how the Sphinx lost its nose.
Speaker 2: If they're sphinc that includes the Sphinx. A director is
Speaker 2: gonna say, and of course will show how it lost
Speaker 2: its nose.
Speaker 3: Everybody loves that.
Speaker 1: Move on, everybody loves move on everyone.
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to see any
Speaker 2: more revisionist history about the Sphinx his nose. And I okay,
Speaker 2: that could be a vocal warm up for theater. Revisionist
Speaker 2: history about the Sphinx's.
Speaker 3: No revisionist history. Read the Sphinx's nose.
Speaker 1: Oh, Leanna, you said, may God protect you in an
Speaker 1: American accent in Ancient Egypt is so stupid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how the movie felt. May God stupid? What?
Speaker 2: Who is speaking? Shut up?
Speaker 1: When I first heard Sandra Bullock talk, I was like, Sandra,
Speaker 1: I love you so much, but get get out of here. Said, uh,
Speaker 1: I think this is.
Speaker 3: How a lot of the world feels.
Speaker 1: Leoni, you said ancient Egypt was so lit except for
Speaker 1: the slavery.
Speaker 3: That's kind of the vibe.
Speaker 5: That architecture was so gorgeous, the fash everybody was hot
Speaker 5: in my understanding, and that's true and confident that that's
Speaker 5: true as well.
Speaker 2: The hippos, so many hippos. I didn't go to the
Speaker 2: unprecedented numbers of hippos.
Speaker 1: I went to the Brooklyn Museum, which they have hippos there.
Speaker 2: They had, I understand, because they've got an Egypt section.
Speaker 1: Right, you know what they had an Egypt section two. Oh,
Speaker 1: unless I'm getting this wrong.
Speaker 2: Did you go to the zoo? Do you see a
Speaker 2: hippo at the zoo?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And then I just guessed about all the other stuff.
Speaker 2: What so many of these back in the day. I
Speaker 2: love ancient Egypt minusless slavery. Yeah, it really seems like
Speaker 2: a really lit place except all the slavery.
Speaker 1: Leanna, you said, my guys, you have to stop scything babies.
Speaker 2: Uh uh oh my god. An animated children's film, you
Speaker 2: see a soldier go into a home, hover over a
Speaker 2: cradle and take out a scythe and you say, whoa.
Speaker 3: This is why I'm like, was nobody in what way?
Speaker 1: Is this not funded as some sort of propaganda because
Speaker 1: all love to my Catholic education, not all love. Oh,
Speaker 1: like I think this did make me an interesting person,
Speaker 1: but all the like horrific torture and death stuff that
Speaker 1: you see, yea is definitely to put messages in your
Speaker 1: head about like age, right and wrong, what is right
Speaker 1: or wrong? But also there's a little bit of like
Speaker 1: this is what happened to people like us, or people
Speaker 1: who believed in things like people who have faith faith,
Speaker 1: or people who really care about like hm, you you know,
Speaker 1: like there's some sort of virtue to our faith because
Speaker 1: of this, this, this and this, you know, or like, h,
Speaker 1: there's some reason you want kids.
Speaker 3: To see these things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, I forget where we
Speaker 2: are also watching this because I thought this was like
Speaker 2: a historical event, Like I thought Ramsey's was a guy
Speaker 2: and Moses was a guy, right, and everybody just got
Speaker 2: like a little metaphorical with the telling of the story.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I guess that's what they were doing.
Speaker 2: So ye, you know, it's it's historically accurate.
Speaker 3: I mean, the.
Speaker 2: Probably, I guess they're going to show it, but the torture,
Speaker 2: it's not like I mean, I do believe even if
Speaker 2: not literally this happened, this kind of thing has happened.
Speaker 2: So I was like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: No, that stuff I think is definitely what was happening.
Speaker 1: It just feels like they're not just showing like a
Speaker 1: spicific event. Obviously, we never see things like that about
Speaker 1: the way that slavery in the United States was actually
Speaker 1: enacted or anything, you know, like that would be useful information.
Speaker 3: But it's always about like.
Speaker 1: The ancient times of your religion that we want you
Speaker 1: to stay in and keep giving money to forever. Ooh,
Speaker 1: and that's the real tea and I'm all for.
Speaker 3: I think faith is a wonderful thing. I think there's
Speaker 3: so much value to it. But that's also part of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I was like, who's paying for this? But
Speaker 1: also you forget sometimes that religion has been very in
Speaker 1: for a very long time.
Speaker 2: For almost the US.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, for almost ever everywhere, but in the US,
Speaker 1: like it might have just been more of a thing
Speaker 1: even back in was it the nineties?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be to be like obviously everybody wants to
Speaker 1: see this because we all love the Bible. Yeah, Lehanna,
Speaker 1: you said Elmo Moses. Only now becoming aware of slaves
Speaker 1: is white people in twenty twenty, discovering racism tea we are?
Speaker 2: It was so like, my guy, have you considered looking
Speaker 2: out the way once? Ever?
Speaker 3: That's for now?
Speaker 2: You is this happens every day right in front of you.
Speaker 1: You're the royal architect, and they would build the stuff.
Speaker 2: It was very white people in twenty twenty. It is
Speaker 2: also at the times like just very suddenly being like hey,
Speaker 2: what whoa what's that?
Speaker 3: Do you guys have a problem with this?
Speaker 2: What's I can't believe this is happening. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: she would be happening. Did you know this was going on? Okay?
Speaker 2: Turning to the slaves, did you show that you're enslaved. Yes,
Speaker 2: if your husband came back from work and said, honey,
Speaker 2: I talked to a plant. The plant was God. God
Speaker 2: said I have to go fight the king. I'm leaving.
Speaker 2: What would you do?
Speaker 3: You would go, I don't believe you.
Speaker 2: About that, Okay. I would say, shut up and sit
Speaker 2: down and have some water. Have some water, and then
Speaker 2: I would call the police. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I would probably hear them out. I'd probably be like,
Speaker 1: please explain. I would say please explain, because I'd really
Speaker 1: hope that there was some explanation to why they're being cuckoo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say, where is the rest of the mushroom chocolate?
Speaker 2: And could I have some? Please?
Speaker 1: You said, oh, Moses is a shepherd. What's up with
Speaker 1: Moses and Jesus and why are they so similar?
Speaker 2: Mm hm.
Speaker 3: Themes?
Speaker 1: First of all, I think people were shepherds for a
Speaker 1: long time a lot of places, So the.
Speaker 2: Shepherd's true forever.
Speaker 1: It's sort of there are themes throughout the whole Bible.
Speaker 3: These are all people who you.
Speaker 1: Know, had a relationship with God and did something important
Speaker 1: that led to our tradition going forward. Like we have
Speaker 1: the Ten Commandments, Thank you Moses.
Speaker 3: We have this covenant with God. Thank you Noah.
Speaker 2: Do you think that God sent the flood that Noah
Speaker 2: had to build the arc for because there were so
Speaker 2: many hippos?
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: There were literally more hippos than we could imagine. Like
Speaker 1: imagine every time you go to the water there is
Speaker 1: there's like hip families of hippos. They were just like
Speaker 1: so populated there. They had to keep killing them. They're like, aha,
Speaker 1: like were so scared of hippos? So awesome? Uh, Leana,
Speaker 1: you said when they were writing the Bible, do you
Speaker 1: think they too giggled at burning bush? My bush is burning,
Speaker 1: My bush is burning.
Speaker 2: My bush is absolutely burning in this humid weather.
Speaker 1: Come on, a burning bush?
Speaker 2: Be serious.
Speaker 1: I don't think they laughed at that little bush, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. And by the way, this is where we
Speaker 1: get Yahweh. He's like, I am with you, Yahweh.
Speaker 3: Is that what ya means?
Speaker 2: Did he say that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They're like, what wait, what's your name? Hey? Who
Speaker 3: am I talking to? And he's like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Yahweh And Yahweh is God? Yes, okay, I it means
Speaker 2: imagine me in religion class, okay, because it means I am.
Speaker 3: That's what we learned in religion class.
Speaker 2: I am, I am, Oh my God. Imagine, imagine Moses
Speaker 2: is talking to the burning bush and Moses is like, wait,
Speaker 2: who are you? And the burning bush goes, I am
Speaker 2: a yankee doodle dandy.
Speaker 1: I am a yankee doodle dandy yanke.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how it goes. Yahweh a yankee doodle boy.
Speaker 2: That way is an acronym for is your bush burning? Mama,
Speaker 2: you're gonna want attend to that. You've got three minutes.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Oh, Sienna, you noted.
Speaker 1: The Angel left Death is like, mean, my God, you
Speaker 1: have death.
Speaker 3: By the way, is a big white wind that comes
Speaker 3: from comes from a big, big bright sun hole in
Speaker 3: the sky.
Speaker 2: That scene that was actually scary. That was quite scary.
Speaker 3: Scary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way that it was animated was really unsettling.
Speaker 1: So this is the passover moment when it's like, listen,
Speaker 1: if you're with God, you're gonna put Lamb's blood.
Speaker 3: Over the baby sheep.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about them.
Speaker 1: And if you're not on the door, you're not gone.
Speaker 2: You will take your firstborn son.
Speaker 1: And the Angel of Death sweeps through anthropomorphically kind of
Speaker 1: peeks around here and there like Flubber.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was like Flubber to see. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, Flubber is the angel of death bouncing around?
Speaker 2: Do you think that Flubber is in some ways a
Speaker 2: reincarnation of all of the hippos that God drowned in
Speaker 2: the flood? And thank you for asking that Flubber is round? Yes,
Speaker 2: I Lubber is slippery.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 2: I do think that.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what I think.
Speaker 2: I've always thought that, and it's really great to hear
Speaker 2: something else externalize it. I thank you for articulating myself.
Speaker 3: I do think that. So the angel of.
Speaker 1: Death, flubberly, yeah, bounces around and like we'll like look in.
Speaker 1: We'll literally like sniff around and check and then be like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: you do have blood on your door. I won't kill you, say,
Speaker 1: and then we'll turn and then every now and then
Speaker 1: we'll be like, I don't see any blood, sorry, swing in.
Speaker 1: We hear oh, and then a child is dead.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: At one point, a boy walks in holding a pot
Speaker 1: and we hear the pot crash and his hand flies out.
Speaker 2: His hand slaps out of the door. It's so nuts dark,
Speaker 2: it was really nuts. Ci Ia, you noted about that. Wow,
Speaker 2: it's too bad. This song comes directly after all the
Speaker 2: children of the town die, the one that's like miracles
Speaker 2: happen once in a lot.
Speaker 1: That's what's so weird about religion, classes and stuff, because
Speaker 1: you never questioned that as a kid, and you get
Speaker 1: that was pretty ft.
Speaker 3: The consequence of.
Speaker 2: You, I get Rameses needs to end slavery in Egypt
Speaker 2: and should be punished if he doesn't. Okay, but killing children,
Speaker 2: Oh it just whoa, This is starting to sound familiar.
Speaker 1: It reads Oh no in the book, in a book,
Speaker 1: it reads so much it needs better because yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like because it's an old legend in a book, so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like yeah, and so the angel of Death killed
Speaker 1: all the firstborn sons and then Ramses said okay, fine,
Speaker 1: you can go, you know, like the god punished him
Speaker 1: and then this happened and they celebrated. That all makes sense,
Speaker 1: but then trying to portray it with Sandra Bullock as
Speaker 1: a cartoon coming down and being like me, it has happened, Nah,
Speaker 1: like don't this is not the time.
Speaker 2: There was written in the pod that was really uncomfortable,
Speaker 2: like that I didn't like celebrating the suffering of it
Speaker 2: was just billions.
Speaker 3: It was just so directly after.
Speaker 2: Yeah, read the room borderline during like it was nearly overlapping.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Leanna, you said, yay plague song a lot of frogs.
Speaker 1: By the time the plague song came on, I was
Speaker 1: so pissed about all the music that I was like,
Speaker 1: what's with all this chanting?
Speaker 3: I wish this was all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that was my favorite, but then unfortunately the
Speaker 2: two brothers sing over it, and I was like, stop, shut,
Speaker 2: I want to hear this plague chanting.
Speaker 3: Shut I send up pestil and send.
Speaker 2: It was a banger. All those frogs. Which of the
Speaker 2: forty plagues do you think would be your least favorite?
Speaker 3: Were they forty plagues?
Speaker 2: I thought, so, isn't that the thing?
Speaker 3: I thought it was treer than that, but I don't remember. Oh.
Speaker 2: I feel like the number forty is always the number.
Speaker 2: It is the number twenty days, forty nine plagues. Oh well,
Speaker 2: they could have come up with more.
Speaker 3: I love that, though they'd be like really like trying to.
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, so locus, okay, bug hippos.
Speaker 2: We can we can send every hippo you said, still
Speaker 2: a lot of hippos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Leanna, you said this tale hits specifically these days. Yes,
Speaker 1: misuse of power, yes, tormenting and killing people.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was.
Speaker 2: I think the thing that was particularly like, oh my
Speaker 2: Jesus god, apt you was just naming the big guys
Speaker 2: was a world leader continuing to do harm to a
Speaker 2: population and ignoring the the damage that's doing to his own.
Speaker 2: So then everybody is suffering totally. Yeah, And it's like
Speaker 2: just his kind of ego and power and insanity. It's
Speaker 2: a great great driving bullies.
Speaker 1: Um hmm, Leanna you said, Leanna's final note just top
Speaker 1: it all off. We'll let you all sit and think
Speaker 1: about that, because it was it was very dark.
Speaker 3: Leon. Your final note is Ramsey's pal.
Speaker 1: You gotta let this one go, so to speak, you
Speaker 1: let just this one people go.
Speaker 2: Because the final shot, or one of the final things,
Speaker 2: is Ramsey's yelling across the city Moses. And I was like,
Speaker 2: my guy, just let it go. And then I realized
Speaker 2: what I'd said, and I said, if you touch me, maybe.
Speaker 1: Not what he's best at, maybe not the best.
Speaker 2: Something to work on, not a strength, but I endorse
Speaker 2: him with on LinkedIn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, should we move on to our next segment, yes,
Speaker 1: which is of course badges and trages, where we give
Speaker 1: badges for babies and baskets for babies, and baskets and
Speaker 1: tradges for a tyrannical enslavement Yeah of people.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I give that a trage for sure.
Speaker 3: Tyrannical of him to enslave them.
Speaker 2: He was being a tyrant. I have a badge for
Speaker 2: the spooky dogs. Okay, he has two of those really
Speaker 2: spooky dogs from Egyptian times, a cane, corso whatever dogs,
Speaker 2: and they were so cute. He was being so cute
Speaker 2: with them.
Speaker 1: I have a badge for his sandals. Later in the desert,
Speaker 1: when he very viscerally rips his sandal, that scared me.
Speaker 1: But he lifts up his sandal like, oh this damn
Speaker 1: sandal broke. He has a beautiful, little gorgeous like embroidery
Speaker 1: or something on the inside of Egypt or something. I
Speaker 1: don't remember what it was up, but it was gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I would love to have more art
Speaker 1: on the bottom of my shoes please.
Speaker 2: I have a I guess badge for not sugarcoating slavery. True,
Speaker 2: they made it so definitely showed that it was real badge. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they were not above the brutality of this despite it
Speaker 2: being a maybe kind.
Speaker 3: Of for kids question mark.
Speaker 1: My main badge for the movie is the parting of
Speaker 1: the sea is the best part in my opinion. It's
Speaker 1: really fun when you get to see the huge ocean
Speaker 1: go straight up because the water needs to go somewhere,
Speaker 1: and when they're walking through.
Speaker 3: And you get to see some life, yeah, swim by.
Speaker 2: There definitely should have been a hippo in that, yeah, swimming.
Speaker 2: It was probably mostly hippos in the Red Sea. My
Speaker 2: last badge is a badge for it is super metal.
Speaker 2: To turn the Nile to blood. That was so metal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I said, okay, God, this angsty teen God.
Speaker 3: This is an god angsty story.
Speaker 2: God is rock and roll. Tragic moment, Oh my god. Trages,
Speaker 2: Oh a trage for it is so embarrassing that these
Speaker 2: are just two white guys Moses and Rameses.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Honestly, same with Steve Martin and Martin short as the
Speaker 1: that's who those were. Oh no, the gargoyles. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: they did not do a good job at that role.
Speaker 1: I see why they were like, oh a comedy duo.
Speaker 1: It felt like that improv Yeah, I have a trage
Speaker 1: for it's so serious. This is I remember not loving
Speaker 1: this movie as a kid, and I stand by it,
Speaker 1: but I was always confused because it seems like everybody
Speaker 1: else was excited about it, but it was always too
Speaker 1: serious for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just not fun. This ain't it? Oh
Speaker 2: trage for American accents at least do British. It was
Speaker 2: so so it sounds elevated.
Speaker 3: So American.
Speaker 1: Trage for They're playing with the big boys now is
Speaker 1: one of the worst songs ever.
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it was happening.
Speaker 1: Was me my jaw, My jaw was dropped as I
Speaker 1: was watching, just how poorly I was waiting for it
Speaker 1: to become a song, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for
Speaker 1: it to have a beat, waiting for it to be fun.
Speaker 1: They just name a bunch of Egyptian gods in a
Speaker 1: way where its like, is the joke that you're doing
Speaker 1: the accent that you're like actually trying to pronounce it correctly,
Speaker 1: Which is the first time anybody's like acknowledged that this
Speaker 1: is actually true true?
Speaker 3: And then it was not.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I'm sorry everybody, I'm being such a hater,
Speaker 1: but I hated this.
Speaker 3: I hated that song. Well.
Speaker 1: Watching I felt gas lit like I was supposed to
Speaker 1: be enjoying this, as if this was the comedic relief,
Speaker 1: the comic relief, but it was not.
Speaker 3: It was bad. It was bad.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that song sucked.
Speaker 3: Thank you for agreeing. Oh my god, it makes me
Speaker 3: feel so much better.
Speaker 2: Uh. Two trage is in a row that are very relevant.
Speaker 2: Trade for this did not need to be a musical
Speaker 2: and a trage for this song sucks, which I was
Speaker 2: talking about a different song. I was talking about his
Speaker 2: like hero song of like oh my life, I wanted
Speaker 2: to whatever blah.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. My final two trages are
Speaker 1: also related there. I said too much chanting, because I
Speaker 1: think they relied on They're like, okay, this is like
Speaker 1: they're feeling it, like this is sort of a tribe
Speaker 1: that they're like expressing together. We'll just have them sort
Speaker 1: of like chant sing. But I think they relied on
Speaker 1: that too much, and it was just like.
Speaker 3: Again, Uh. I think it was Emma who said.
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm really quoting her a lot for this, but
Speaker 1: it was like, what they were trying to make sound
Speaker 1: sort of ancient came out as just dissonant and boring.
Speaker 1: Oh and that's how it felt to me. So my
Speaker 1: final trage is just for the music. Dot dot dot question.
Speaker 2: Mark, Yeah, what happened? What went on there?
Speaker 3: What did happen?
Speaker 1: My prediction is that he was writing Wicked at exactly
Speaker 1: the same time, and so he just had to like
Speaker 1: write this in one night.
Speaker 3: Because Wicked ate, but this does not eat.
Speaker 2: Wicked was very good. This sucked a trage for God
Speaker 2: is also a American man. I think it's awesome. I
Speaker 2: think it was Val Kilmer. That's so embarrassing. What an ego? Wait,
Speaker 2: you go, you see a bush. It talks to you
Speaker 2: in your own voice, and you're like, I heard God,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, someone slap him. Eo boo.
Speaker 3: That's so funny. That's so funny. Every guy who tells
Speaker 3: me about the screenplay he's writing. Literally, I went, I
Speaker 3: heard my own voice and it was gone.
Speaker 2: I had an idea for this sketch. I think it's
Speaker 2: really funny. Do you want to hear it? Well, you're
Speaker 2: going to fuck off A trage for the music they
Speaker 2: play while God is turning the nile to blood was
Speaker 2: not right. It was very like, yes, it needed to
Speaker 2: be like.
Speaker 3: Listeners.
Speaker 1: By the way, just so you know, Leona put up
Speaker 1: both her hands in the sort of rock what is
Speaker 1: this rock and roll? Okay, we just found out that
Speaker 1: when you do that on Apple, it makes lasers that
Speaker 1: happen behind you.
Speaker 2: And my final tragedy is this movie is long, not literally,
Speaker 2: but it felt long. I it was long.
Speaker 1: I'm didn't like I have no allegiance to this film.
Speaker 1: It was they did a bad job. I think I
Speaker 1: just genuinely think they did a bad job.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you could do a good job
Speaker 2: with this.
Speaker 3: This shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: An animated movie, a little more charming.
Speaker 2: It's like a crazy story to be like, hey, kids
Speaker 2: gather around.
Speaker 1: I think they needed to commit to the remember when.
Speaker 2: You were a baby? Well, imagine that there's a scythe
Speaker 2: and an angry soldier holding it.
Speaker 3: The fuck they couldn't decide the tone. It was no good.
Speaker 1: Um okay, Leanna, let's move on to our next segment,
Speaker 1: which is how to pretend you've seen this film.
Speaker 2: This is more you are herding your sheep.
Speaker 3: You're hurting your sheep. Come on, come on here, and God.
Speaker 2: Is that okay? You're okay with that?
Speaker 1: God yells at you in the voice of Jeff Goldblim,
Speaker 1: Jeff gold who was in this for no reason, maybe
Speaker 1: the only Jewish person that we hear about, and he says.
Speaker 3: Ah, isn't that what he does?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yes, yes, it's a lot.
Speaker 1: Of hurting sheep over there.
Speaker 3: That reminds me of a movie that remember I was in.
Speaker 1: I was in as a little character named Yahweh, And.
Speaker 3: I'd love to tell you about it.
Speaker 1: If you haven't minute, we can talk about it together.
Speaker 2: And in order to extinguish this bush, we're going to
Speaker 2: give you a few sentences you can say to pretend
Speaker 2: you've seen the film Prince of Egypt.
Speaker 1: Well, I have the best piece of true about this movie,
Speaker 1: which I think many of us know. This was the
Speaker 1: film that DreamWorks was making and focusing on.
Speaker 3: Have you heard this? And that.
Speaker 1: When an animator would mess up on this film, when
Speaker 1: they were getting like punished and taken off the project,
Speaker 1: they would be sent to work on another movie that
Speaker 1: was going on that nobody wanted to work on because
Speaker 1: it wasn't supposed to be as like successful or exciting
Speaker 1: and it was a movie called Shrek uh, and so
Speaker 1: it was called being shreked O.
Speaker 2: God, from you got shrekeed.
Speaker 1: You were sent from Prince of Egypt to Shrek, and
Speaker 1: thus Shrek was born.
Speaker 3: And it's so much more memorable than this.
Speaker 2: Wow, it shaped a generation. Oh my god, Yes, God,
Speaker 2: I've seen Prince of Egypt. You know that baby, the
Speaker 2: way that they animated him, his face, he looks. That
Speaker 2: baby has the face of an That baby looks like
Speaker 2: he owns a railroad in the nineteenth century.
Speaker 3: A face like a railroad owner.
Speaker 2: I mean, no wonder they took him in. They were like,
Speaker 2: I think this guy knows about oppressing the worker.
Speaker 3: You can tell in his face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that baby up out of a basket,
Speaker 1: I could tell you new how to oppress some people.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, love that baby.
Speaker 1: Yes, God, I have seen the film Prince of Egypt.
Speaker 1: The four minute parting of the Red Sea sequence took
Speaker 1: ten animators two years to complete. No, and also, Steven
Speaker 1: Spielberg insisted that the film end on Moses carrying the
Speaker 1: Ten Commandments. That's fine, what that makes sense? Why do
Speaker 1: you have to insist so much? What do people want? Ah?
Speaker 2: Yes, God, I've seen Prince of Egypt. There is one
Speaker 2: line in it that was very a huge mood, which
Speaker 2: is when Moses says, I've done nothing in my life
Speaker 2: worth honoring. Hello, Hello, I felt that my sweaty ass
Speaker 2: felt that this week I have swamp ass.
Speaker 1: I just swamp ass is real. Yes, God, I have
Speaker 1: seen the film Prince of Egypt. One reason why Val
Speaker 1: Kilmer was selected to play God was because the filmmakers
Speaker 1: liked the idea that God was acting as Moses's inner
Speaker 1: voice in order.
Speaker 2: To guide to God jimminy cricket ass. Yes, God, I've
Speaker 2: seen the Prince of Egypt. You know you said something
Speaker 2: in that movie when you've said I am that I am,
Speaker 2: that had the exact same energy as when in Succession,
Speaker 2: cousin Greg is testifying in front of Congress and says,
Speaker 2: if it is to be said, so it be, so
Speaker 2: it is. Oh my God, Siena, let's let's ride a
Speaker 2: hip bow into our next segment. Should you watch this
Speaker 2: or in which we tell you if we think you
Speaker 2: should watch this movie or if you should do something
Speaker 2: anything else with your time.
Speaker 3: I have the perfect answers.
Speaker 2: Oh I do too, Okay, what's yours?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My perfect answer is you do not need to watch
Speaker 1: this film. I'm sorry, this film is lame. I would say,
Speaker 1: if you want to get a childish, if you want
Speaker 1: to get some of the stories of the Bible, because
Speaker 1: sometimes it's nice to just see them because nobody wants
Speaker 1: to read that, but you could watch Veggietails. They sum
Speaker 1: it up a little Vegietails, which also is sort of
Speaker 1: that that's really making it for kids right there. And
Speaker 1: if you want to get the like sort of ancient
Speaker 1: pizzazz vibes that they seem to really want to give
Speaker 1: with this, watch Emperor's Groove ancient pizzazz. It is so
Speaker 1: good and it's so filmy, so enjoyable. It's it's the
Speaker 1: opposite of this in vibes. This is like serious, turgid
Speaker 1: and lame. Thisg and it's just such a good movie.
Speaker 3: It's so fun. Boom Baby, they wanted most boom Baby.
Speaker 1: Boomy Baby'd be very Reverend Leanna, what about you.
Speaker 2: That's true, I would say, if you don't watch this,
Speaker 2: if you are looking for something that includes ancient Egyptian
Speaker 2: mythology and at least some actual Egyptians, you should, and
Speaker 2: in fact must, watch the series Moon Night perfect, the
Speaker 2: best thing. It's one of my favorite TV shows and
Speaker 2: it was one glorious season that was never going to
Speaker 2: be renewed ever.
Speaker 3: And I love it.
Speaker 2: I love it so much. And the hippo is in it.
Speaker 2: The hippo goddess is in it.
Speaker 3: It was a cool little series.
Speaker 2: Poet, I think that's her name.
Speaker 3: I think you're right.
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, baby boom, baby boom, Cianna, what would you
Speaker 2: rate the film Prince of Egypt?
Speaker 3: Odd?
Speaker 1: Guys, they did not do a good job. Whatever teamwork
Speaker 1: was happening, didn't.
Speaker 3: It didn't give I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, and well everybody kept getting shrecked.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, I give this like one locust out
Speaker 1: of five mm.
Speaker 3: I just didn't.
Speaker 1: I just And also some of my dislike distaste for
Speaker 1: this movie comes for the fact that I had to
Speaker 1: keep watching it as a kid, and I was always like,
Speaker 1: really that guy. Nothing against Moses, but this movie did
Speaker 1: not light me up.
Speaker 3: Leanna put about yourself.
Speaker 2: Yes, I too would give Prince of Egypt one hippo
Speaker 2: out of millions the billions that were in ancient.
Speaker 1: And Egypt they wish out of five.
Speaker 2: Moses was really hot, but it was so so wrong,
Speaker 2: and none of the songs slapped in the way that
Speaker 2: we all know they could have. Yes, exactly, and it
Speaker 2: was confusing and shouldn't have been an animated film. This
Speaker 2: should never for children, This should never have happened. But again,
Speaker 2: at least they were like slavery was really bad. It's
Speaker 2: really horrible to treat people this way. So one hip
Speaker 2: of well, all right, praise be thanks everybody, get it.
Speaker 1: We just listened to Prince of Egypt. Sorry, if it's
