WEBVTT - Booksmart with Vanessa Chester 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.720 On the bel Cast, the questions asked if movies have 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.800 women in them, Are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands? 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:12.920 Do they have individualism? The patriarchy? Zef and best start 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:16.840 changing it with the Bedel Cast. Hello, and welcome to 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.840 the Bechdel Cast. My name is Caitlin Durante, my name 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:24.079 is Jamie Loftus, and weird book smart. The two of 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.720 us were really smart at books. See. I was struggling 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:28.400 to think of a way to start this episode as well, 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:33.600 and that was probably exactly what I would have said. Okay, 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:38.199 well and we know to read and we're and we 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.800 also a master's degree for crying out. Yeah. Yeah, you 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.599 guys read a lot to do that. I don't. I 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.400 don't think I would have really. I'm like, did I 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.920 read in college really at all? And I just like 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:54.160 really went deep into debt and got very depressed. You 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.400 don't need to read to know how to do that. Anyways, 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:01.920 Today's episode is it was brought to you by reading. Um. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.600 So this is the Bechtel Cast. If you're a new listener, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.600 this is our podcast where we talk about the way 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.600 that women are portrayed in popular movies. UM. We use 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.920 the Bechdel Test as a jumping off point for discussion. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.360 But what is the Becktel test? What I mean? I 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.520 need someone with a master's degree to tell me, and 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.800 dogshit to tell you that. The Bechdel test is a 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:31.160 media test developed by cartoonist Alison Bechtel that requires that, 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.920 let's say a movie that you're looking at has two 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.840 named female identifying characters. They must be in the movie together. 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.319 They must speak to each other, and their conversation cannot 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.240 be about a man. Yes, you think it would be 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.880 not that hard, but a lot of movies don't do it. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.120 Let me do a quick example. Yes, okay, Hey Caitlin, 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:59.320 what's up, Jamie? I am still so like struck by 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.640 the anime? Did knockoff of Titanic? We watched last night? 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.080 Me too, the Legend of Titanic. I had never heard 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.720 of it. We watched it. There's a giant octopus, but 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:17.679 it's going to have identifying octopus. But his name is Tentacles, 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.360 and he holds the Titanic together and everyone when the 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.800 Titanic lives, it's we have to do a bonus episode 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.840 on It's at least as good as Book Smart. It's 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.560 at least it's not a little better. We watched it 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.600 right after we double featured Book in the Legend of 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.720 Titanic and Book Smart, for all of its merits, does 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:44.799 not have a gigantic octopus that rescues people. And that's 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.920 one of its fatal flaws, and that's really what the 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:52.640 discourse has been focused around. Well, that conversation came close 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.480 to passing the backtal disks until I brought up the octopus. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.560 I mean, and the octopus is really phallic too. It's 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.919 like a baby doghead with eight dicks just shooting out 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:09.040 of it. It's so strong and throbby, it's gross. I 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.920 think you should let's bring move away from this conversation 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:18.119 and introduce our guest. How do I follow that? I don't. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.400 I'm really sorry about impossible. Like to follow. You're gonna 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.959 do a great job because I have two arms. I 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:30.239 think I'm already failing the voice you just heard. She's 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.520 an amazing human. She's an actor and you might know 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.000 her from such movies as a Little Princess, Jurassic Park, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:41.000 Lost World, and Harriet the Spy. It's Vanessa Chester. Thank 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.600 you for having me, Thank you for saying I'm an 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:47.480 amusing amazing human being, Like where I just have a 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.800 feeling she's strong into it. Let's check back in with 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.200 that at the end of the and you still feel 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.480 and then if not, I mean, we can always blame 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.800 it on a friend of the show, Miles Gray, because 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.960 he brought you into our Oh my gosh, we can 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.760 always take him out of this world. We're talking about 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.120 book Smart. We're talking about book Smart, a new release. Yes, 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.320 popular listener request, and yeah, I'm just like to talk 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.240 about it. So, Vanessa, what did you think of the movie? 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.240 I really enjoyed it. Like I saw a preview and 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.200 I was like, I want to see this. Like I 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.680 kind of was that girl in high school who like 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.520 studied a lot and got great grades. And I mean 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.400 I partied still, but like I could have partied far more. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.760 I can't go back and do that, and I made 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.560 up for in college. Um. I felt like the casting 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.680 was brilliant, Like I liked every single character. I like 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.400 the personalities, like they all had such great chemistry. That 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.640 and also I feel like at the beginning it was like, oh, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.880 I know these people. I know who this person was 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.080 in high school. And by the end you were like, oh, 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.279 everyone's a blooming onion. We have many layers, Like we 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.080 all realized that, but it also makes you kind to 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.599 think of like that person in high school that you 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.400 may have judged that you now see on Facebook and 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.640 you're like, whoa, or like, what did I hear that 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.880 I just accepted to be them? You know, we all 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.440 had that. Yeah, a lot of traumatic high school the 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.279 projects coming out at the moment. There were so many 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.520 specific characters that you're like, oh, I would have pre 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.000 judged that person in high school for sure, or like 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.960 I was that or I hung out with them, or 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.919 I like I defended that person. Yeah, my best friend 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:32.080 growing up was a Jared. Oh really Yeah, Peter was 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.640 a bit of a Jared, but without all the money. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:40.880 So it was just sweet. I was so sweet. I 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.880 was very much like the gals Amy and Molly were like, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.200 I didn't party at all in high school. I was 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.280 like really cared about my grades and like studying and 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.240 if you're listening to the show for the first time, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:59.240 Cale and I historically canonically suck very boring in Lane. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.560 We are very I'm like trying to think. I'm like 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.920 I was really good because I was afraid of my 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.520 mom and I knew, like, but then it was one 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.839 of those things where like, I'm not necessarily lazy, but 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.359 the lazy aspect of my personality really shined through to 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.080 find efficiency and things. And so I was that person 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.320 who was like, if I pay attention in this fifty 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.120 minute period and take bomb notes, I won't have to 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.760 fucking study and I'll pass all the tests, like and 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.839 that was basically the way I got through college too. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:30.040 I've got a photographic memory. Just look right, draw like, 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.279 ask all the questions and be done. And then the 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.359 minute I got into college, I was like, I just 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.920 ditched for like half of senior. Yeah. By the time 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:43.120 I was in college, I discovered Vladimir vodka and it 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:48.760 was off advance. We did MR. We had Mr Boston 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.120 from vodka. You could get it in gallon size and 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.400 make it last. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The fake idea at 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.120 Food for Last when I was like, pop off on 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.080 me and everyone's but that's basically killing half of us, 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.040 and I was like, it's chill. It's chill, guys, Like 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.560 food Food for Less is the only place that accepts 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.640 this idea, like three and it says I'm five eight, 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:15.000 So do it, okay, guys, do you want Jungle Juice 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.600 or not? Right, Um, let's just dive into the recap. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.880 No one has much of a history. I've seen it 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.800 three times now. I was a little I mean, it 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.720 was it was weird. I I just saw this movie. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.560 There the like discussion around this movie was kind of 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.080 bizarre when it came out of like it underperformed at 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.600 the box office and the reasons people thought that was 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.560 sort of all over the place, and it was just 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.320 like there was a lot of like interesting, weird discussion 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.520 around this movie when it came out to the point 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.480 where I was, I was like, I don't know when 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.680 when Twitter discussions get so in the weeds, I'm just like, 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.520 I'm I'm tired, and I'm less likely to see the movie. Yeah, 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.040 Like I'm exhausted just from eating these reviews. I don't 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.680 even know I had the capacity to watch the actual movie. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.040 You review too many takes, Like there were so many 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.160 takes on this movie, too many takes. But I mean, 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.160 like Twitter, Twitter takes are just like they're exhausting. So 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.800 I was almost like put off from seeing this movie, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.640 which I realized now it was not fair because I 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:25.560 quite enjoyed it. Likewise, I'll tell the story of the 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:31.400 movie the story of the book. So it's the last 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:37.520 day of high school for Amy and Molly beaniefeldsnin Caitlyn. 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.760 For Caitlyn who my favorite fun fact about her is 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:46.120 that her dad was the voice of Barney Stop right. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.680 I would I would just have a shirt that said 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.679 so I wouldn't have to like find a way to 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.840 get it in the conversation. It's incredible that I had 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.720 to seek that information out. Why isn't she just talking 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.079 about people, don't promote this movie you're in. Your father 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.839 is a bar Need the Dinosaur anyways, So that's all 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.800 I know. They are best friends and they are too 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:13.880 like overachiever, goody two shoots types like funny, they're like, yeah, 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:19.400 they're like not other weatherspoon an election. Yeah, they're like 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.080 what we wanted, Like, oh, you have a personality, but 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.360 you're smart. Yeah, like type A but not like they 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.240 have terment each other, but like not with other people 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:35.800 outside of their duo. And because they want to just 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.839 study hard so they could get into good colleges. And 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.280 then we meet some of their classmates. There's Nick, who 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.920 is the VP of the class because Molly is the 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:48.000 class president. There's like THEO and Tanner. They're like these 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.880 like to burnout guys. There's this girl that they call 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:55.800 triple a. Uh. There is this girl Ryan who Amy 0:09:55.840 --> 0:10:03.640 has a crush on. Uh skater out with the curly hair. Yeah. Um. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.040 And then there's Jared who's this like rich try hard 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.920 kid and his rich friend Gigi, who is played by 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.920 Harry Fisher's daughter Billy Lord. Yeah. I was imed being 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.680 everyone today. I loved her. She was Nick is Kuba 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:25.960 Gooding Junior's son. Fun. I didn't know that having famous 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:30.080 parents gets you into movies. It's maybe be so good 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.719 that I don't even I can't even be mad about it. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.640 So we meet all these classmates of their's and then 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.240 Amy and Molly find out that Nick is having a 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.720 party at his aunt's house that night. Then Molly overhears 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.400 some of her classmates talking about her and like saying 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.920 that she's not fun, that she loves school too much, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.640 and that she has a butter personality. Funny joke. I 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:56.599 was like, Oh, that one hurts far far more. His 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.240 school students are just even though this is like a 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:04.240 writer like our mean cutting Yeah. And then Molly finds 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.839 out that all of these classmates who she thinks are 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.920 like idiot burnouts and who like partied a lot and 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.760 had fun, also got into the good colleges. So she 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:18.520 has like a connection like you know what, Amy, we 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.480 got to go to next party. We got to prove 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.720 to these people that we can be fun too, and 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.480 that we you know, we don't want to have missed 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.240 out on like fun high school party experience. This is like, 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.800 I feel like it's such Catharsis for students who were 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.920 like that, because that student almost never actually goes to 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.960 the party on the last day, Like I definitely never. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.559 I just went to the afternoon barbecues when people graduated, 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.600 and I was like, I'd like a cheeseburger and then 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.640 I'd leave by four pm. I was. I was feeling 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.200 it for them. It was like, yeah, you go to 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.560 a party or you regret it for the rest of 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.120 your life. Yeah, I was. So then they get ready 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.560 for the party, but they don't know the address to 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.520 nix Aunce House and no one is answering their calls. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.800 So then Molly's like, oh, I'll try Jared the like 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:12.920 try hard rich kids icon Jared, who is listening to 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:18.200 a Cheraldzoonberg on tape Lean and listen. Corporate feminism a 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.000 little bit misguided. But you know he's seventeen years old. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:25.920 He doesn't. He's making an effort in friend so to 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.480 call him and he comes to pick them up, assuming 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.760 that he knows where the party is, and he takes 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:35.679 them to a party. But it's not the Twilight Zone, sick. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.960 It's like his lonely boat party. But like, what would 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.600 you do for one of those Jared T shirts? I right, 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:49.040 I hope they're selling that. I would like one. That 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.360 Jared party made me so sad, Like if this were 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.400 a darker movie, Jared would be like he would like 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.520 kill someone, like he has infinite resources. I watch a 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.960 lot of true crime and as to see that storyline happening. Yeah, 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.760 I'm like, it's a good thing he does have a 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.600 heart of gold because this could have, like them failing 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:13.520 on his party could have been their death sentence. The 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.160 only other person there at his graduation party is Gi. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:23.880 She was just what a great character, so much fun 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.760 she does appears, you never see her enter a room. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.000 I love this, Jaredy'll like, Molly, You're awesome. I like you. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.199 And she's like I gotta go. So she and Amy 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.439 high tail it out of there. So Swan dives off 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.360 of the boat. She does a lot of dives into water, 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.480 like there's one that I was like, I hope that 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.120 was a stunt double that one would like get hurt, right, Yeah, 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.000 I was like, she's not doing a movie for like 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:55.160 a month after. I think that one hurt. Great. So 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.679 Molly still wants to go to next party, but Amy's like, 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.120 we just went to a party, we don't need to 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.120 go to another. And then Molly calls Malala, which is 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.160 like their code for hey friend, you gotta do whatever 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.760 I want. Whatever I say, no questions, ask like full support. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.800 So Amy's like okay, and then they hear back from 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.319 their classmate Alan with the address is one of the 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:20.400 Drama kids. I love the Drama kids and George, my 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.720 kids are incredible. Love them. So they call a lift 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.080 and the driver is their principal, making you know, some 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.000 commentary on you know how educators are not paid enough. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.360 This is like this there is like I like it 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.360 every time, but there is a repeating motif in this 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.040 movie where it's just like and they get in a 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.680 car and a very famous comedian is driving the car 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.840 like that happens like four different times. We're like, wait, 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:51.040 Jason Sudegus, did Jessica Williams like my mama, micoh bro, 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.720 it's everything. It's almost as if this was scripted, but 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.480 it's fun like that those scenes are this movie and 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.680 compared a lot to super Bad, which I don't think. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.440 That's exactly what I thought after the car scenes are 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.480 like when I got the strongest vibe when I thought 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.400 the hater would dry. Yeah, well, I was thinking about 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.160 the scene where they like end up this super Bad 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.240 but like, oh, when mclovin tries to get the liquor 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.160 that and it was like that one creepy dude who's like, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.880 you definitely have something in your basement. I don't want 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:27.160 to know what. Yes, I don't, I forgot. I feel like, 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.920 but that was what gave me that deja vu moment too. Yeah, 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.120 there's I mean the comparisons. I mean, like it doesn't 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.280 bother me at all, Like it's just it's a I 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.960 think it's worth discussing later on too. But yeah, and 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.160 I think that Jared is like kind of a vastly 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.520 improved mcloven type character. That makes sense because we like, 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.480 learn about him. We know about him, mclovin. Where is he? Yeah? 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.480 Where did he go? I don't know. So they're in 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.000 the cab there in the lift. They watched some porn 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.240 in the car, so that because Amy's all I I 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.160 don't know how to do anything with girls, and Molly 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.280 is my teacher. Here is they're pornal no no, And 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.320 then they finally get to the party, except that this 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:14.120 party is Alan and George's Murder Mystery Dinner Theater party. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:21.120 I mean, druma that in credible monologue. That wait, who 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.920 is George? Who gives the monologue? This like my husband? 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:29.160 That's that's Alan. That is so funny. And then he's like, 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.400 you don't have to do it every single time, sighing. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.000 I was like, I hope someone else comes in and 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.760 he does it again. I loved the codependent drama club friendship. 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.800 That was that really resonated with me. So g is 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.400 also somehow they're at this party and she's like, Wow, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.200 I'm surprised you guys aren't feeling those drugs yet, because 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.240 she had fed them drugged strawberries. Because it has to 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.920 happen in this movie, it does, So they start tripping 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.760 they hallucinate that their Barbie doll. That was weird things. Yes, yeah, 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.000 well we'll talk about this scene. Yeah, this is like 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.920 one of the things that was like like okay, O 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.240 couldn't done without it. I don't know, but it felt 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.760 wedged in. But anyway equals drug scene, you know, it's 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.200 like you gotta experiment if you go out. He's like 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.520 so over it. They also get sober so quickly, which 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.800 is that was my next note, Like I'm not saying 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.679 anyone's dabbled, but that seemed like it was way too 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:29.480 short of a time, Like they sat down at dinner 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.880 and their trip was over. I was right. Yeah, They're 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.240 like it's the next scene. We're sober, we have Barbie, 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.680 so it's done now. So then they leave George's party. 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.480 Amy's like, okay, we went to two parties. Let's go home, 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.680 and Molly's like, no, I still want to go to 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.720 Knick's party. And then we find out that it's because 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:50.040 Molly has a crush on Nick, which announces from like 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:58.280 the away girl. And then Amy's like okay, let's freaking 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.600 go to Knick's party. But they still don't know the address. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.119 And then they do all this homework to figure it out. 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.000 They see a video from the party where there's like 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.399 this big stack of pizzas from Lido's Pizza. So they 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.720 go there and try to like rob the piece of 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:19.720 delivery guy. For Brian's like you could be killed. Yeah, 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.320 He's like, don't trust people, but he gives him the address. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.480 Later revealed that he's a murderer. Ye. Yeah, well, I 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.440 mean when he'd like described what could possibly happen, it's 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:36.000 like you've done or he's done it. You've got ten 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.760 thousand hours of experience and this and that's scary. Yeah, 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:44.280 you've Malcolm Gladworld. This to a career hours of murder. 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.280 But they still can't get to the party because Amy 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.560 left her phone in his car and Molly's phone is 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.080 almost dead from all the porn that they streamed. Molly 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.240 makes a call with like her last bit of juice. 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.120 She's like, come pick us up. And then who shows 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.320 up but another famous Camie the in Jessica Williams. Their 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.119 teachers their teacher, that's fine, and she takes them to 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:11.040 Nick's party. There's a yeah, man, Jessica Williams deserved a 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:15.160 better storyline. I'm like, what we could take a photo 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.840 and add that to the Like Jessica is writing on 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.200 her hand even though there is a notepad in front 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.600 of I just look at something like super protective and like, 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.359 oh my god, that's a really dope pen. Should I 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.160 swipe it? What about karma? But notebooks, you know things 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:31.840 like that. I'm like, I don't want to funk up 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.960 someone's whole thing and like rip out a page and 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.639 I'm like, my handworks, feel free to use the notepad. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.919 But this is kind of the thing. Now, we definitely 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.560 are going to put it that on a conspiracy math 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.920 just like this lead to this to this. It's gonna 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:51.240 become like a huge meme of understanding book smart. Yes, yeah, 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.760 I mean we'll get into the Jessica Williams character in general. Yeah, 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.159 deserve better. So they get to the party. Finally everyone 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.800 is there. Molly and Nick are flirting, Amy and Ryan 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.760 are maybe flirting. Amy is still not really sure what's 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.600 happening there or if Ryan even likes girls, and then 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:13.240 Amy sees Ryan and Nick kissing, so she goes up 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:14.960 to Molly and she's like, we have to go. We 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.920 should go without telling Molly what she saw. So then 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.040 they get in a fight, and Molly's like I have 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.080 to do all the heavy lifting of our friendship and 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:28.879 Amy's like, well, you're mean, and then Amy reveals. Amy 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.040 reveals that she's taking a gap year and staying in 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.360 Africa for the whole year. That's the super bad moment too, right, Yeah, 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:38.960 it's another big super bad parallel. And that was one 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:40.840 of the moments where I was just like, oh, yeah, 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.760 everyone in teen movies are fucking rich as hell. She's like, well, 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.800 I'm taking a gap here like a good bank, Like 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.320 I want to hear the kids like I didn't get 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.280 a cal grant approved, you know, like something that's relatable, 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:59.280 like I don't have health insurance. Yeah. Classic teen movie. 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.480 So then they fight and they storm off, and Amy 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.280 goes into the bathroom and Hope, another one of their classmates, 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.879 is in there, and they have like sort of like 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:13.000 this antagonistic back and forth and then Amy kisses her 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.320 we'll talk about that, and then they start hooking up. Meanwhile, 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:21.560 Jared and Molly are talking and like maybe vibing a 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:26.280 little bit, I don't know, and then Amy cut back 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:32.120 to the bathroom. Amy accidentally fingers hopes butthole and then 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:35.560 I mean and this is like this is also like 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:39.480 major like jet Apatow movie vibes of like I accidentally 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.480 fingered a button and then I barfed, Like just to 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.560 be fair, she barbs because she drinks six cigarettes. But yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.000 but barfing on someone at a party, which also happens 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:55.640 in super Bad. Yeah, the super Bad comparisons are warranted 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:59.520 in many ways, but there are also not in many ways, 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.119 and we'll talk about it. Um. So Amy like rushes 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.320 out of there, and then Molly finally sees Ryan and 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.359 Nick kissing, so she's like, oh, that's why Amy, you know, 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.359 wanted us to leave. She was trying to protect me. 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:13.480 So she like goes to try to find Amy, but 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:15.960 right then the cops show up to bust up the party, 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.399 and Molly gets out. The girl that they called Triple 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.919 A picks her up. Meanwhile, Amy, she's like, I'm going 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.480 to create a diversion for the cops, and then we 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:28.760 cut to the next morning we find out that she's 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:33.159 been arrested. She's so many questions in jail, has a 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.720 phone call, pane of glass a whole bit. I'm like, 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:39.440 I'm just fine to suspend my disbelief on that you 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.720 kind of have to, and then Molly goes to bail 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.280 her out using the information that they have on the 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:49.080 pizza delivery dude, who we find out is they wanted criminal. 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:53.639 Like yeah, and then graduation is about to happen. Everyone's 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.480 waiting for them, and then they drive like crazy to 0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:01.640 get there. Molly gives her valedictorian speech, they graduate, Molly 0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.360 takes Amy to the airport and then they say goodbye 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.600 and there's crying, but then they're like, hang on, we've 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.160 got time to get pancakes, and like, yeah, let's get 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:14.640 some fucking pancakes and smash to black at the end. Yeah, 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:16.600 I wasn't expecting the pancake thing. I was like all 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.240 in my feelings and my duvet crying, like I have 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:23.280 best friends too, And then I was like pancakes, Like 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:28.680 I love pancakes. Pot How many times have I, you know, 0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:33.280 gone to Denny's with a friend and eating pancakes once 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:37.280
