61
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: A Bradley Cooper joint.

62
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm passionate if he stole that, if he just stole

63
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: that phrase of Bradley Cooper joint, put it at the

64
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: beginning of his films.

65
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it wouldn't be the most it wouldn't be

66
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: that out of the realm of something he might do.

67
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: He's a wild card.

68
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: He is truly a wild card. And I have so

69
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: much to say having to watch this new film of his,

70
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: because we've gonet record in the past talking about how

71
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper is one of the weirdest filmmakers we've ever

72
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: come across. Yeah, and I don't even know if I'm

73
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: going to be able to rain in my feelings about

74
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: this new one.

75
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,320

00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: you know, we've reported on any sort of news that

77
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,040

78
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: this movie. We had to talk about this movie at

79
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: some point, you know.

80
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Casey, I'm just going to say right now, Well,

106
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: which is about stand up but it's also about marriage.

107
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: It gets away from the stand up for like a

108
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: large chunk of the movie.

109
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like the stand up part becomes

110
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: like less and less important and more irritating.

111
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,880

112
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:31,040

125
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: know what it's about, but I know that there is

126
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: a podcasting element to it.

127
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: I dare I say this is the first podcast horror film?

128
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Am I right about this?

129
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: You're not right about that? I saw. I'm trying to

130
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: find there's like another one I saw. Hold on, I

131
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: watched it.

132
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: You're not right. You are an incorrect.

133
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't find it. I really can't find it.

134
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: But there is, Uh, there is another horror movie. I'll

135
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: look it up when we've don't recording about podcasting, Okay,

136
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: it's it's there's there's not that many entries into that

137
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: that genre.

138
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: I will say, yeah, I would agree with that this

139
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: movie is basically like a podcast episode.

140
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

141
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: I knew absolutely nothing about this movie when I walked

142
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: in to the theater, and uh, you know, it's very

143
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: based in audio, as you can imagine because it's about

144
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: a podcast. A lot of freaky, dicky shit going on there. Uh.

145
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,359
Speaker 1: The director is Filipino, which I really appreciated Filipido Canadian.

146
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: Actually that's great, so fully into that scary. Yes, okay,

147
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: I won't go beyond that. Does doing a podcast with

148
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: a guy who does not live in my town inform

149
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,040

154
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, that's spooky.

155
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: It's spooky, but also like I just couldn't help but

Speaker 1: this is too much, right, Like I was like, this

158
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: is And I remember like at some point my friends

159
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: were turning to me, They're like, is this what it's

160
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: like to do a podcast? And I'm like, yes, actually

161
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: it is. Uh. We both wear headphones and we both

162
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: log into you know, our zoom call and blah blah blah,

163
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: and you know, look up things while we talk, and

164
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, anyway, it was very immediate in that way,

165
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: to the point where I was kind of laughing about it.

166
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it kind of like took me

167
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: out of it a little bit. Maybe it did. But anyway, scary,

168
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: that's all I'll say.

169
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: Scary. Okay, Okay. I found the name of the other

170
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: podcast horror movie. It's called Monolith, and that one is

171
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: really a woman recording a podcast by herself and so

172
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: in her house and that's like the only place. That's

173
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: the only location. So that's kind of an interesting one too.

174
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: From twenty twenty two. If you want to check out

175
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 2: more in the casting genre. Well, I got to see

176
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: this movie. I really got to see this.

177
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: You.

178
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: I figured you'd be there. Should we do a pot

179
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: should we do an episode about it? I guess is

180
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: what I mean.

181
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's put a pin in it. It's like, look

182
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: at it first and then we'll decide. Okay, it's a

183
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: twenty four yeah, mm hmm it is. Okay, I saw

184
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: so I watched. If I had legs, i'd kick you.

185
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: Okay, good, you know, because I wanted to make sure

186
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: I saw all the movies that had been nominated and

187
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: that was like that was like, uh, that was nominated

188
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: for Academy Award, but it wasn't one of the big nominees.

189
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: So I kind of skipped it before the Oscars, but

190
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure I saw it, and I

191
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: thought it was really great. Have you seen this?

192
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: Uh No, I haven't.

193
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: It is stressful. It is made by this director Mary Bronstein,

194
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: who is married to Ronald Bronstein, who is like the

195
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: main collaborator with Josh Saftie. Oh I see, so he

196
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: like has co written and co edited every Safti Brothers

197
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: movie too, So this does have something of a stressful

198
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: feel to it that is sort of adjacent to a

199
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: Saftie's brother's movie, But it's much's it's it's much different.

200
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: It's much more surreal and funny. And Conan O'Brien plays

201
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: Rose Byrn's therapist and he's really funny in it. And

202
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: it's just like I think people who have kids would

203
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: relate to, like the difficult, like how annoying having a

204
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: kid can be and how difficult it can be to

205
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: balance all these elements in your life. But it's really

206
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: good if you want to check it out. It's funny

207
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: and Rose burn is obviously great in it. Sure, then

208
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: most of this week I've been watching Heated Rivalry.

209
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Ah. Yes, finally finally, and which I loved. Okay, that's good,

210
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: it's good. I thought it was great. Yeah, did you

211
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: tear up at all?

212
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: Be honest, he's joking, Are you joking?

213
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

214
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: I was very weepy. I was very leaky. Yeah, the

215
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: scenes that really got me. Well, I'm going to spoil

216
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: this if you haven't seen it, so I'm just saying

217
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: that for the audience.

218
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, Like I've seen it. Have you listened to

219
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: the past like eight episodes? I keep referencing it.

220
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: Staying in Hollander and his little girlfriend are breaking up

221
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: and she's like asking him, and she's so gentle and thoughtful,

222
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: but she's like asking him questions like have you ever

223
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: been with a man? And he's just like nodding and

224
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: shaking his head to the answers, and his eyes are

225
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: tearing up, but he's kind of like smiling a little bit,

226
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: like Yeah, it's just so sweet and well done. And

227
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: I was really tearing up during that part.

228
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that part too.

229
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: I mean, this might be one of the greatest moments

230
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,239
Speaker 2: in television history. When Kip comes out of the stands

231
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: after Scott h I mean, can you I was like

232
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: I was getting chills, getting chills right now thinking about

233
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: it was good. It was good. I think a lot

234
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: of people, you know, you know, what you hear about

235
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: it before you watch it. Everyone's like, this is like

236
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: softcore porn. No it's not. It's not like softcore porn.

237
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: And then also people were like, it's so soapy, it's

238
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: a soap opera, it's a romance. I actually didn't feel

239
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: like it was. I thought it was just a really

240
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: good TV show. It's romantic and it's sexual because that's

241
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: the trajectory of their relationship. But I don't know, it

242
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: didn't feel like either of those things. And I don't

243
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: dislike things that are soapy, but it's not like a

244
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: soap opera. Yeah, it's just a good, compelling television show.

245
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: I also thought, I have a real problem with my

246
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: I've mentioned this before, but like modern prestige television, there's

247
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: so many episodes that just like nothing happens, and I'm

248
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: often like this should have been a movie, And I

249
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: didn't feel that. With Heated Rivalry, every episode felt very full,

250
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: very There's just a lot of action packed into every episode.

251
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: Things are moving so much in that show. That was great.

252
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: I loved it.

253
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I told I said when I watched

254
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: it and talked about it on the pod. Initially it

255
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: felt like maybe it could have been condensed, But I

256
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: ultimately think that I started thinking about it actually recently

257
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: because a friend of mine had just watched it too.

258
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: He's a gay man, and was like completely, I mean,

259
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: he just was destroyed by it, and it was lovely

260
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: to hear him talk about that. But I think we

261
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: both kind of came to the conclusion that the best

262
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: thing about it maybe is the fact that like nothing

263
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: bad happens, Like do you know what I'm saying?

264
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, like no, And I think so many queer stories

265
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, let's see when the hate crime scene happens. Yeah,

266
00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: it's like some horrible you know, homophobic scene happens or something.

267
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: You know.

268
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like either somebody is going to get a

269
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: horrible disease and die, ilia is going to be found

270
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: out in Russia and they're going to kill them for

271
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: being gay. You know, none of those things happen. Like,

272
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: in fact, the most stressful thing to happen is that

273
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Shane's dad finds out that they're gay, and then everything's

274
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: fine afterwards, and then they I mean even in that

275
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: scene where the woman rose, I guess that Shane is

276
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: trying to date. That whole episode, by the way, was

277
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: my favorite, I think.

278
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: But it's a great one. That's the one where they're

279
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: in the dance club too. Yeah, and they're like looking

280
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: at each.

281
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Other well, and like even her reaction towards him when

282
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: he's like I'm like not into you is completely great.

283
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: Like she's like, cool, we could just be best friends.

284
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Why do you know, as opposed to like this having

285
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: this negative reaction of like, well, I can't believe you

286
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: wasted my time and blah blah blah, Like yeah, that's

287
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: the thing is that the end of the day. I

288
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: think the reason why this show is so popular, it

289
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: has resonated it is because we're in a horrible moment

290
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: right now and it's like the nicest, most pleasant thing

291
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: to be watching, Like nothing bad happens. We need it,

292
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: we need this joy. You know, I totally agree. But

293
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, when you say that, I think

294
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: people think it's like fluffy like Ted Lasso. No, No,

295
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: it's not.

296
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: It's like it is very like there's a lot of

297
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: tension and you're and steaks. There's a lot of steaks

298
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: and you feel the steaks, but it also doesn't it

299
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: exists in a you don't feel like something horrifically tragic

300
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: is going to happen, you know. It's just like it's

301
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: it's a romance. It's like if it was it's the

302
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: same stakes of like a straight romance that you would

303
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: see on screen. You don't assume that one of them

304
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: is going to get like yeah, but.

305
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: And it's not like inspirational in that direct, like in

306
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: that kind of way.

307
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: It's not cool, it's not it's no, you know, it's

308
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: a romance, but it's like the tension of like not

309
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: just being a professional athlete, but a gay athlete and

310
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: like keeping its secret, but without like the real life

311
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: tension of that, you know, Like so I I don't

312
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: know it was it was great. I loved it.

313
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: God, that's great. Now you can understand all the jokes

314
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: that I've been slipping into the podcast for weeks.

315
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have to go back and listen to every

316
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: single minute.

Speaker 1: I'm coming to the cottage means way cool?

318
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Did it make you more into hockey?

319
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: Not at all?

320
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: No, that's fair.

321
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: Did it make me more into.

322
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: Connor?

323
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: Story? And Hudson Williams. Yes, sure, I you know, that's

324
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: the thing about these two guys. The fuck do they

325
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: come from? They're amazing, Like I like, it's such it's

326
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: if you want to talk about it, you know, in

327
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: terms of that even on its own, I mean, what

328
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: a fucking crazy, out of left field phenomenon.

329
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I mean I think that was made.

330
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: In a foreign country with two completely unknown stars, like

331
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: becomes the greatest TV smash of current times.

332
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: Well, Connor's story was talking about He's like, when I

333
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: got the heated rivalry job, he was still a waiter.

334
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: You know. It's like it is just crazy. They really,

335
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: I mean, to go from where he was to like

336
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: hosting SNL. I mean, it's it is absolute insanity.

337
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

338
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 2: Did you watch the SNL watch bits of it? Yeah?

339
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah I did.

340
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: Like the when Hudson came out, that was exciting.

341
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, love love them boys.

342
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: So those boys. Anyways, should we close up the film diary?

343
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 3: Fuck?

344
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, we got to get into this important film.

345
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's groundbreaking masterpiece.

346
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 2: We're back with our main discussion. I'm like scared to

347
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: get into this. Oh my god, it's it feels nuclear.

348
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: Oh god.

349
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: So we're talking about. Is this thing on? From twenty

00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm already rolling my eyes. Gosh. Uh.

353
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: It's a comedy drama. It's about divorce, it's about being

354
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: a dilf. I guess, Uh, I guess Will Arnett. I

355
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: mean he he's a real life smoker.

356
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Ah, you can tell.

357
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: You can tell the skin of a voice.

358
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: Shrift store handbag, yep.

359
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Yeah, he looks like he's been yeah, tanned

360
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: in a leather shop. Some of the standout actors Will Arnett,

361
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: Bradley Cooper, Laura Dern, Peyton Manning. Yeah, I wasn't expecting

362
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: him to be acting in this, not as Peyton. He's

363
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: an act He's playing a character in this right. Uh, Millie,

364
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 2: what is your personal connection to this movie besides your

365
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: undying love of our boy Coop Coop?

366
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no connection to this movie at all.

367
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: Stand up, let's talk about it. I'm kind of renascent

368
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: to say this because I have so many friends that

369
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: do stand up comedy. Yes, I am not normally a

370
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: fan of stand up. I'm not. I hate to admit it.

371
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: That's brave of you to say.

372
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have seen it. I've certainly enjoyed it, you know.

373
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: Like I've have listened to stand up comedy albums in

374
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: the past and have seen a lot of stand up

375
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: especially when I lived in LA, but have on the whole,

376
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: but on the whole have I Can I say that

377
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm like a huge fan of stand up comedy.

378
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: No, I I'm not going to go that far, Okay,

379
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: but I can see what you're saying. I don't really.

380
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: It doesn't really like pull me in. It's not something

381
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm particularly attracted to. I don't seek it out. It

382
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: can be really bad and awkward, and I think there

383
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: are art forms that I just prefer more. I have

384
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: a lot of respect for it. I think it's singular

385
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: and unique. It's like jazz music, you know.

386
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't like seek it out very much. Yeah,

387
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: I think part of what I hate about it is

388
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: the audience. Sure, And it's not even like I think

389
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: all stand up audiences have to be terrible, Like, it

390
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter if you're like at the coolest bar

391
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: in LA or New York or at you know, like

392
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: a you know, comedy festival in the middle of nowhere

393
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: with like a bunch of drunk you know, parents that

394
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: are out for the night or something like that. Like,

395
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I think every stand up audience is

396
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: inherently bad.

397
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

398
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: I get frequently embarrassed for people in the audience, especially

399
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: those who like try to participate. That makes me cringe.

400
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: That makes me cringe on a level that I can't

401
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: even like talk about because I'll start having stomach pains.

402
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: Ugh.

403
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: Like I am very skeptical of stand up movies too.

404
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

405
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: I would say, like the The King of Comedy is

406
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: probably my favorite stand up movie, but that's not even

407
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: really a stand up movie.

408
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: You know. I did do a little bit of stand up. Ohday,

409
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: my god, what was that like? Case well, number one,

410
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: I was not very good.

411
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: I think I really had a hard time because you

412
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: do have to have kind of an on stage persona.

413
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: Even if you're being yourself and you're trying to be

414
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: authentically yourself, it's a little bit of an elevated version

415
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 2: of yourself, you know, And I could never quite get

416
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 2: into that vibe. Yeah, And it also felt like weird

417
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: to me to like my art before then had always

418
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: been like writing stories or writing movies that had like

419
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: were like narratives, and then this was like different, and

420
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 2: I had I just had a hard time with it.

421
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: I couldn't. I never felt comfortable doing it, and it's

422
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: really a grind. You have to go like five six

423
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: nights a week to like get good at it and

424
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: make connections and stuff. And I never like vibed with

425
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: the other comedians. So it just I wasn't. I just didn't.

426
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: I wasn't hyped up about it. My friend and I,

427
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: my friend Alex and I used to go together to

428
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: try to go do it, but it was like, at

429
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I just don't want to

430
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 2: be out at night that much. Yeah, that's you know,

431
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: it's like a lifestyle thing.

432
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: Well, and that's like the thing that really makes me

433
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: cringe about the lifestyle of it, because it feels like, Okay,

434
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: I will I will say this generally as you know,

435
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: I would say, like a person in my forties, it

436
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: feels like there's kind of two distinct life paths that

437
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: a lot of like people of my age group sort

438
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: of went for when they realized that they weren't going

439
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: to be musicians, and they didn't want to be musicians.

440
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: They either became chefs or they became stand up comics. Interesting,

441
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: so there's this like, you know, badassory like punk thing

442
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: happening in both of those professions that I feel like

443
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: got ushered in by people of my generation, like alternative

444
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: comedy mixed with like Anthony Bourdain. Yeah, and so also

445
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: it also felt like comedy became a lifestyle. And I

446
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: think we'll talk a little bit more about this as

447
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: the movie progresses, because I don't know. To me, that

448
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: notion of it drives me fucking bananas the whole Like,

449
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta be this like, you know, complete

450
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: fuck up, like complete nightmare of a person in order

451
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: to be really good at stand up or to be

452
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 1: like a truth teller, I have to have like a

453
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: damaged life or something like that. I just think, I

454
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: think I just have gone through so much of it

455
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: in my life as the friend to stand up comics

456
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: and improv people and people in the comedy world that

457
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, respectfully, I've had enough. I love you all.

458
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: I do not want to be in the world that

459
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: you're in.

460
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 4: Ever.

461
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: I never wanted to be by the way, just because

462
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: I do a podcast doesn't mean I want to be

463
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: a comedian. You know, just because I've done podcasts with

464
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: comedians doesn't mean I want to be a comedian. I've

465
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: never wanted to be.

466
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: So it is interesting too because I feel like stand

467
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: up it feels like stand ups most stand ups treated

468
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: as a stepping stone to something else. They're trying to

469
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: do something else, they're trying to get like on a

470
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 2: TV show, they're trying to get like movies made. And

471
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, what are you just trying to use

472
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 2: stand up to like like put it behind you at

473
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: some point and then I just couldn't get passionate about

474
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: something like that. I guess, yeah, you know, well.

475
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's the other thing too, is that I

476
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: think we talked about this a long time ago when

477
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: we were talking about were we talking about the King

478
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: of Comedy? Where everybody thinks that they're funny like everything, like,

479
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: there isn't like one person in the world that's like,

480
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm not that funny. I don't really think I have

481
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: a very good sense of humor. Since if everybody thinks

482
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: that they're funny, then everybody thinks that they can be

483
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: a comedian. And I just am like, it's okay to

484
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: not be a comedian. It's okay to be a person

485
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: in this world who doesn't want to be a professional comic.

486
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: And I'm one of those people, like I don't want

487
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: to be I'm like, I'm leaving that to the experts.

488
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: And like I said, a lot of my friends do comedy.

489
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: Some of my best friends in the world are stand ups.

490
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, great, I love you. I love that.

491
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: For you, I love you.

492
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: But for me, well, I've made a whole career of

493
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: working with comics. So it's like sacrilegious that I'm even

494
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: saying this, I know, but I feel.

495
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Like we're I feel like our show is going to

496
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: get shut down. Yeah, I think it's exactly right. He

497
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: is going to come in, They're gonna arrest both of

498
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: us and then uh cancel our podcast. Well, I would

499
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: encourage Bananas. I would encourage Karen Lisa. I would care

500
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: to make fun of citophiles. Now go up record, do

501
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: an entire episode about how you hate movie people, because

502
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: I would be with you. I'd be standing there with you.

503
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: So anyways, let's get to the movie directed by our

504
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: boy Bradley Cooper. Uh So, this is about Alex Novaka

505
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: played by Will Arnett. He's an upper class Westchester financial guy.

506
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: We don't really get into his job at all, but

507
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: we have to just assume that he's incredibly wealthy, you know.

508
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: Does it say he's a financial guy and then he

509
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: was like in finance? He says that at some point,

510
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: Oh god, I didn't catch that. Now I hate it

511
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: even more.

512
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: Well, how else would he afford this giant house like

513
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: in Westchester and like Iran in Manhattan and stuff. I know,

514
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: but like, ugh, he makes it makes them a little

515
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: less sympathetic. He though, is getting a very possibly the

516
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: most amicable divorce of all time from Test Novak played

517
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: by Laura Dern. They have two kids together, two boys.

518
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: So he's moving to the city and he's having a

519
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: bit of a midlife crisis. One night, in order to

520
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: avoid paying the entry fee to a bar, he puts

521
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: his name down for an open mic. He's I just

522
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: want to get a drink, you know. But he's called

523
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: on stage and he does a quick improvised set and

524
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: guess what, it goes okay, And now he's been bitten

525
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: by the comedy bug and he wants to keep doing

526
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: stand up Now I find that this whole introduction very

527
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: irritating because I think it one is sort of insulting

528
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: to stand up comics that it's like just walked in.

529
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, I'm pretty good at this, and it's

530
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: like you just mo up on the spot, and it's

531
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: like that's insulting. Then Number one, I feel like there's

532
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: this type of guy, and Bradley Cooper is certainly this

533
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: type of guy, and Johnny Depp is like another type

534
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: of this guy who kind of like they like to

535
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: brag about, like yeah, I was doing this thing. I

536
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: wasn't even trying and they ended up hiring me for

537
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: this job, or like cool, I went along with a

538
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: friend too an audition. I didn't even audition and they

539
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: wanted me in it.

540
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: You know like these kind of stories you hear, these

541
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: kind of stories where they're like I was doing something

542
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: and I didn't even really care, but they.

543
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 2: Thought it was so good at this I just was

544
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: naturally so good. I just it's like bragging about how

545
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: they didn't try but they still succeeded. Do you know

546
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 2: this type of story?

547
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: Yes?

548
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 4: And I feel like this this type of character that

549
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 4: this whole movie is sort of that way, you know.

550
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Like right off the bat, I'm like, this guy

551
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: goes to the Comedy Seller, which is an actual place.

552
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: Does this very popular, very esteemed.

553
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: Yes, very esteemed place where lots and lots of famous

554
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: people have performed Lisa trigger there is there all the time. Yeah,

555
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: professional comedian leads a trigger. He goes to this open

556
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: mic and really has probably the most milk toast first

557
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: time set you could possibly ever have. And in the

558
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: in the context of the film, it's supposed to have

559
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: gone well. And this is where I'm like, no, it

560
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: did not go well. This is not funny.

561
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: It went well in terms of the laughter, though taken

562
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 2: out of the film, it was not a good set.

563
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, get real, Like, you go to an

564
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: open mic and you see this guy come up and

565
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: he says, like, what's going on with his life? For

566
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: five minutes you're telling me you would have laughed at all?

567
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not saying I would. And if you go

568
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: to an open mic, most are horrific and people it's

569
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: like absolute silence and it's painful, dude, And that's what

570
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: would have happened.

571
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: I realized before I knew better, before I knew better.

572
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: I used to go see my friends at open mics. Yeah,

573
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: never again, I will know first, are you kidding me? Like,

574
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: I'll go see your show. I don't want to go

575
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: to your open mic though, Like, are you joking? I

576
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: mean that is like it's like watching twenty seven unfunny

577
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: people before you come up at one o'clock in the

578
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: morning and then you're only on for a couple of

579
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: minutes and I'm like, yeah, what did my time just

580
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: fall into a vortex? Like what the fuck am I

581
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: doing here?

582
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: And that's the thing. I had to pay twenty five

583
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: bucks twenty yes.

584
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: Yes, twenty five bucks. I had to have at least

585
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: four drinks. And I'm like, and I'm like, this is

586
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: supposed to happen every week. I'm supposed to come see

587
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: you every fucking week. Anyway. This was a constant runner

588
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: in the film for me on whether or not I

589
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: believed that Will Arnett's character was supposed to have been

590
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: good at comedy.

591
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: I think in the world of the movie he was.

592
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: Of course he is in the world of the movie,

593
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: but it's like fantasy. And I kept thinking to myself, now,

594
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: hey that good? Are you kid me?

595
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: Are we saying this is fantasy. It's like in any

596
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: movie where like it's about a fake artist and they're like,

597
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is the most beautiful piece of

598
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: art I've ever seen, and it like sucks, but in

599
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 2: the world of the movie, it's incredible, you know.

600
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, at some point we're putting the cart before

601
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: the horse, I suppose. But at some point he gets

602
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: a call. They jump him up. They're like, we'll give

603
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: you ten minutes. I'm like, why would you do that

604
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes?

605
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Millie, we got to talk about this adult group

606
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: of friend my godhead. So this is sort of the

607
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: SmartLess podcast sponsored movie because Sean Hayes is also in it, yes,

608
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 2: and Audre Day is in it, and Bradley Cooper plays

609
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: a struggling actor. I mean, he plays one of the

610
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: most irritating characters to put to celluloid And Millie, what

611
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: is Bradley Cooper's character's name?

612
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: Okay, his character is named Balls. All right. First of all,

613
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna float another theory of mine to you that

614
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: these people are not fucking friends. Where do you meet

615
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: people like this? Where do you have this perfectly integrated,

616
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: big chill the in group of fucking fuckers with like

617
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: a guy named Balls and his black wife to like

618
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: rich gay guys. And then there's like will ARDNT Laura

619
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: Dark Okay, and they're so good friends that they go

620
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: to like vacation together. Gave me a fucking break. Bradley

621
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: Cooper's character is named Balls, and I'm not sure if

622
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: that is his nickname or his god given name, but

623
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't care. I would never call my friend Balls,

624
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: even if his name was Balls, balls given to him

625
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: by his parents. You're not I'm not calling you Balls, sorry.

626
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 2: See. I think this is one of the big feelings

627
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: of this movie. Among a few. I would say that

628
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: Bradley Cooper is a as a person, is so out

629
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: of touch with reality, and he has no actual friends,

630
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: and so he's like, this is what a friend group

631
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: looks like, and this movie is about more normal people

632
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 2: and one of the first movies he's ever made about

633
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: normal regular citizens. Because Like a Star Is Born is

634
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: about like artists and rock stars, and then Maestro is

635
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 2: about like a very famous conductor. It's like these people

636
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: live in like elevated, weird celebrity places and these are

637
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: about this movie's about regular people, and he is so

638
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 2: out of touch that these It feels like it was

639
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 2: made by an alien.

640
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean this is his like James L.

641
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: Brooks and movie with like normal friends who are, you know,

642
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: cool with each other. But I'm like it bricks, Like,

643
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: first of all, they're completely useless to the plot, Like

644
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: I don't even know what what point they serve other

645
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: than giving a little bit of tiny bit of levity.

646
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: And then this crazy a cappella version.

647
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: Okay, we I was gonna hold on that.

648
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: Put a pit in it, put a pit in it. Okay,

649
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: But in terms of the friend group generally, I was like,

650
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: ain't no way these people are fucking friends.

651
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, one hundred percent. I mean it does feel

652
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 2: like this was by a bunch of out of touch

653
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: celebrities about real life, and uh, that comes through a

654
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 2: lot in the friend group. Also, you have a note

655
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: here that says you're convinced everyone wore a fake nose

656
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 2: in this book.

657
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: Okay, very number two. First of all, this has nothing

658
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: to do with the actors in the film. I'm sure

659
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: they had nothing to do with this. I don't know

660
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: if it was the lighting, I don't know if it

661
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: was the makeup, I don't know what it was, but

662
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: like everybody looked bad, Like everyone.

663
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: Looked like shit, Yeah, everyone's looking a little rough in

664
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: this one. Yeah, And I don't know, I'm sure that

665
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: was intentional because Bradley Cooper was like, well, these are

666
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: real people, so they look bad. Like I feel like

667
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: he was that was an intentional choice.

668
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand it.

669
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: I was like, is it me?

670
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: Why does everybody look like sick? Everybody looks bad? Then

671
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: I started getting in my head about it, and I

672
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know if it's because I was

673
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: thinking about Maestro and Bradley Cooper's love for fake noses

674
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: and ship and I'm like, I started convincing myself that

675
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: Laura Dern and Will Arnett were wearing fake noses.

676
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: That's really an interesting take. I haven't heard anything about this,

677
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 2: but dude, I didn't think that when I watched back.

678
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: Look, you're like, it's a bruder film. We got to

679
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: go through this, Yeah, it frame by frame. I'm convinced,

680
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: like this is my Pizza Gate that they were wearing

681
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: fake noses. And I'm not saying complete fake noses, but

682
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: maybe they got added to, like maybe they they had

683
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: a tiny bit of of of some you.

684
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: Know some some some extender, Yeah maybe buddy, Yeah, something

685
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: like that.

686
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: Some made some made right, some of them ain't right

687
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: with the way that people look in this film.

688
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: And this is a movie that is like devoid of

689
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 2: conflict kind of too, like there's there's just like nothing

690
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 2: much happens in this or it's like and the conflict

691
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 2: is very silly. Yeah, like I was saying at the men,

692
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: there's like the divorce isn't even that like it's not

693
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 2: like messy, and you're kind of like, what's his problem?

694
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: He's got money and uh a house.

695
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: I don't know well that they think that again, like

696
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: another failing of the film is trying to figure out

697
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: what the deal is and you're like, okay, well, if

698
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to reveal it at the top, maybe

699
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: it gets revealed as the movie goes on, and perhaps

700
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: I didn't catch it, but we'll see.

701
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: We got a lot maybe maybe on the on this

702
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 2: read through, we can maybe pull some things out. Okay.

703
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 2: So Alex, he starts writing jokes and he's going up

704
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 2: every night and he's getting better, and you know, he's

705
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 2: not burdened with having to take care of his children

706
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 2: anymore because he lives in an apartment downtown, so he's

707
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: got plenty of time to do stand up, so he

708
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: even hooks up with a young comic Koray also Tess

709
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: the Laura. During character, she's pursuing her life passion, which

710
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: this was another weird choice. She is a former Olympic

711
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 2: volleyball player. She reaches out to an old acquaintance slash

712
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: potential future fuck, Buddy Layered, played by Peyton Manning, who

713
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: is like the athletic director for some college or he

714
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: works for Team USA Olympic Volleyball. Anyway, she's gonna get

715
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: a job. I can't remember what, but he's going to

716
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 2: offer her a job as a volleyball coach. And they

717
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: go on a date and they accidentally stumble into the

718
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 2: comedy seller when Alex is doing stand up and he's

719
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 2: doing stand up about her, and uh oh, big trouble.

720
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: But guess what this makes Tess horny and they get

721
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 2: back together. Oh my god, they're back. Everything's gonna be okay.

722
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 2: It's funny. This is one of the first times where

723
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 2: I made a note on our document and then Millie

724
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 2: wrote like counterpoint because what I was saying what I

725
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 2: said that I thought I actually liked about the movie

726
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 2: was that you can get into something new no matter

727
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 2: what your age. You just have to enter humbly and

728
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 2: not like an asshole. And that's what he does to

729
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 2: the comedy world. You know, he asks questions, he tries

730
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: to become better. And I thought that was a good

731
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 2: lesson in life, Like I kind of found that inspiring,

732
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 2: but you apparently did not, well, because I.

733
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: Do it every day of my life, like as a

734
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: single woman with no kids and no husband. It's like, yes,

735
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm constantly able to follow my bliss and try new shit.

736
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: I could start stand up tomorrow if I wanted to.

737
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: You could, You know you'd be good too, well, And

738
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 2: I think, okay.

739
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: The inspiring thing being like state, I guess curious and

740
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: inspired by things to want to shark, but nothing holds

741
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: my ass back from doing shit.

742
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 2: Sure, but I think Millie, you're unique in that way.

743
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: Sure I'll say, yeah, I'll take that, I am. But

744
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: it's also like, so to me, I find it. I

745
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: had the opposite reaction to you when it comes to

746
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: will Arnette, being like, I'm a divorced guy who's kind

747
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: of sad and now I want to be a stand

748
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: up comic. I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna be like, no,

749
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: don't try it. Actually, we need less of you, We

750
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: need less divorced guys doing stand up please, you know.

751
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: Whereas I'm like, you know, I don't know. Maybe if

752
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: you wanted to start painting or wanted to, like, you know,

753
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: be a potter or something, I'd kind of be down

754
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: for that, But I feel like it's such a straight

755
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: white guy thing to be like, following my bliss is

756
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: doing stand up comedy. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

757
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: So I can go on stage and get love bitching

758
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: about my ex wife. Yeah you know, well, what did

759
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: you think about that? Making her horny? Don't even get

760
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: me started, Like, oh, okay, I gotta even go back

761
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: a step, dude, I gotta go back a step.

762
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

763
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: The idea that she'd go out with Peyton Manning on

764
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: a date, and then Peyton Manning being such a boring,

765
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: fucking jock to be like, hey, why don't we get

766
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: a drink at the open mic next door? I would

767
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: have left. I would have been like, absolutely not going

768
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: for a drink with you at the open mic. That

769
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: sounds first of all, how do we even talk at

770
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: the open mic, Like, your suggestion to me is to

771
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: leave the dinner and get a drink with me at

772
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: a place where we have to watch people brick. Yeah. No, Like,

773
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if you think we're gonna have sex

774
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: after this, but I'm absolutely I think that he did,

775
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: and I think that he's thought he was. This was

776
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: on the pathway to having sex with Lauria Dreak, which

777
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: is crazy, which is again a dumbass's assessment of how

778
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: to have sex with a woman. Right, So then idea

779
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: is that she just goes with him. Is er number one?

780
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: Number two she shows she's like at the open mic,

781
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: realizes that her ex husband is basically revealing to a

782
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: room full of strangers that he's divorced or he's separated,

783
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: and then he's had this new you know, jaunt in

784
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: the sheets with you know someone, and that he actually

785
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: like misses his wife or something like that at the

786
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: end of the day. Right, So, like some sad dad

787
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: revelation where he's like, yeah, I had sex with somebody

788
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: and I just realized I kind of like having boring

789
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: sex with my wife, which it is kind of a

790
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 1: nice sentiment. I will give him that, But the idea

791
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: that she simply sees him on stage and is like, fuck,

792
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: that's my ex husband. What a hottie. This is like

793
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: making me like horny. And then she meets him outside

794
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: he's starts smoking a cigarette and she's like, yes, now

795
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: my ex husband is not only a fucking cool stand up,

796
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 1: he's also edgy enough to smoke a fucking cigarette. After

797
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: a set, I was like, do not put this messaging

798
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 1: in the world, please. God. I was like, this movie

799
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: is gonna convince men that if you want to get

800
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: your women back, you just have to do stand.

801
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it's it is a sickening message at

802
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: the end of the day. God, oh no, no, So

803
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 2: it's almost as bad as like, to get your wife back,

804
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: you need to start a podcast or something.

805
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: Yes, all these like fucking things that I think have

806
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: been debunked. Have these things not been debunked by everyone?

807
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: We like, it is impossible to get women back by

808
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: your old dumb tricks, you know, like no stand up,

809
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: no podcasting, no you know whatever, like sports betting. I

810
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: don't know what anyone.

811
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 2: Else how like, oh my god, incredible, Well they're back together,

812
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't you know it? And so they're secretly dating now

813
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 2: because you know, they made the whole thing about telling

814
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: everyone they're getting a divorce. I don't think they might

815
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: have even gotten a divorce. Yeah, I don't know. But

816
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 2: now they're dating in secret and it's kind of sexy,

817
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 2: you know, the secret of it all. But there's still

818
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: tension for some reason. And one of the big tension

819
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: points is Will Arnett framed a photo of Tests for

820
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 2: his apartment from when she was playing volleyball and it's

821
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 2: the back of her while she's spiking a volleyball and

822
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 2: she did not like that at all. And so they

823
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 2: go on this you know this this remind you know

824
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 2: you talk about a group of friends. It's kind of

825
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 2: like the movie The Four Seasons or the new TV show.

826
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 2: They go on this like friend vacation and things are

827
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 2: not working between them. There's just tension. They're not they're

828
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 2: not connecting. And Balls tells them that he and his wife,

829
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 2: Christine played by Andre Day, are also splitting up because

830
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 2: Alex inspired him, and like any good stand up movie,

831
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: you know, Will Arnett has a meltdown on stage. But

832
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 2: I think the big thing I want to talk about

833
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: is at this like friend vacation, there is a scene

834
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: in the morning when the group of friends including Sean

835
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 2: Hayes and Bradley Cooper aka Balls and Dedre Day, They're

836
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 2: like making breakfast and they start singing Amazing Grace a

837
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: cappella and they sing the whole song and it is

838
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: truly so insane. It's like, why did that happen at all?

839
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: It is totally unmotivated. It is not a beautiful moment.

840
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 2: It felt like it was improvised, and Bradley Cooper's like,

841
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 2: you know what, it's actually like a really interesting thing

842
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 2: to put in their really interesting moment. I think it

843
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 2: really sums up the friendship. I don't know why it's

844
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 2: in the movie. It's so weird.

845
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna go back and repeat what we

846
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: just talked about not too long ago. This friend group

847
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: does not exist. It was completely shoehorned into this fucking movie. Right.

848
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: Not only that, but now they've got this friend vacation

849
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: and I already invoked the big chill. This is their

850
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: big chill, wrapping shit up and foil fashing dishes and

851
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: dancing at the Everyone's like plating scrambled eggs and bacon

852
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: and shit, and they're doing like a you know, a

853
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: cappella three part harmony, amazing grace, And I'm kind.

854
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 3: Of like.

855
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: Apropos of what, like, this is just no fucking rivert

856
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: reason to this shit at all.

857
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not even a fun It would be one

858
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 2: thing if it was. They did like some funny dance

859
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: to show that they were friends, but it felt very

860
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: solemn and bizarre, like it was like, why is this happening?

861
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: And honestly, like even the entre day character, being the

862
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,479
Speaker 1: only black person in this group of extremely white people,

863
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: I'd be like, they don't get this from me. They're

864
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: not getting my singing prowess on my vacation. They don't

865
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: deserve that part of me. And I would I would

866
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: have I would have hidden that from her, from them.

867
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: I would have code switched.

868
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: But code switch.

869
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: I was like, none of these people appreciate you. Okay,

870
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: come on, even ball see with your husband Balls. So

871
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned in the notes that you could understand why

872
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: Tess had such a violent reaction towards this photo that

873
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: Alex kind of like blew up and made into a

874
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: giant wall sized poster for his kids. Yes, because she

875
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: does have this reaction that is kind of like, why

876
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: would you do that. Yeah.

877
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 2: The thing, I can kind of understand why she was upset.

878
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's good.

879
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: I think it's hard because you don't even know what

880
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 2: their main problem was as a couple. Yeah, Like you

881
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 2: don't understand why they're splitting up, and so like when

882
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 2: someone gets upset about something, I have no context about why.

883
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

884
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 2: Like so that was sort of confusing to me. I

885
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 2: can see how she would be upset, Like, I think

886
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: it's sort of bizarre that, like your ex husband's like, hey, look,

887
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 2: I put a a your big, a big picture of

888
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 2: you on my wall. I'd be like, don't do that.

889
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 2: We're splitting up, you know. I can understand that. I

890
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 2: can also understand being like, can't you celebrate my accomplishments

891
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: for now and not who I was, which I think

892
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: is kind of ultimately what she's mad about. Yeah, that

893
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 2: it's like, you don't see me now, you see only

894
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 2: the old version of me.

895
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And she has such anxiety about that too, where

896
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: you know in the movie, and she talks about this

897
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: with a Peyton Manning character, but also kind of at

898
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: other points in the movie. It's very subtle, so you

899
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: may not catch it, but she's like you know, trying

900
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: to you know, make peace with the fact that she

901
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: no longer plays and is now trying to be a coach,

902
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: which I can understand being like a star at something

903
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: and then realizing that you're now probably much better as

904
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: like an advisor to something, yeah, which means ultimately means

905
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: that you're older and can't be a player anymore. Right,

906
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 1: So she's having that kind of internal turmoil. But then

907
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: I can also see it as a woman being like, oh,

908
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: so you want to put this picture of me when

909
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm like super hot and young and what do you

910
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: want to just like, yeah, you know, think about me

911
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: like that and not what I look like or who

912
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: I am now. So I get that. However, I totally

913
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: agree with you that the story is so bad that

914
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: you don't even know that that's an issue for her

915
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: or for that That's the thing.

916
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 2: That's the thing I didn't I was like, that was

917
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 2: a problem. Why is she's so upset? I didn't know

918
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 2: that was like, yeah, ticking into something, you know.

919
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get like, this is the thing about this

920
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: movie that confounded the fuck out of me was that

921
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is their issue or what are their issues?

922
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 1: Because honestly, in the first five minutes, she's just like, hey,

923
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: you want to get a divorce, and he's like cool.

924
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: She's brushing her teeth with no.

925
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 2: Tooth literally verbatim, that's verbatim what the scene is. She's like,

926
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 2: so this is done.

927
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, cool, Yeah, no toothpaste. By the way, I've

928
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: talked about there was no toothpaste.

929
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 2: No, I didn't catch the multiple scenes.

930
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: Well, people brushing their t with no fucking toothpaste drives

931
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: you crazy? Who brought that up?

932
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 2: Did Alicia Malng that up? We brought that.

933
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: I brought it up in the Alasha episode as the

934
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: thing that drives me nuts film grape. But it's like,

935
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: that's the thing is that it kind of that is

936
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: all we know. And then you're like, okay, well maybe

937
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. And then when they do talk

938
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 1: about it, you're like, it's kind of too little, too late.

939
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea why they're already mad about this

940
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. They should have hinted at something. There

941
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: should be more context and that has that was happening

942
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: all throughout this movie and it was driving me fucking bananas.

943
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I think, yes, I agree with that.

944
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 2: It was just like it's hard to know. It's like,

945
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 2: why were people getting upset and why were people getting happy?

946
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 2: I didn't know what was going on, ye you know.

947
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 2: So the end of the movie, Alex talks to Balls

948
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: and guess what. Balls and andre Day are not splitting up.

949
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 2: They're getting back there. They never split up, and that

950
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 2: was confusing too. I was like, what Ball character trajectory?

951
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 2: I think Bradley Cooper thought he was comic relief, but

952
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 2: was not funny at all. It's really painful to watch, actually,

953
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: And Alex decides that he does want to be with

954
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 2: Tests and that they'll make it work. They just both

955
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 2: need to pursue what they individually love and they'll work

956
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 2: it out, I guess. And that's that's satisfactory to Laura

957
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 2: Dern and they get back together because basically he's like,

958
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 2: I know marriage is hard, but I want to do

959
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 2: it with you, you know. And it's like okay. But

960
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 2: it's like it comes back to the thing we we

961
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 2: were just talking about. It's like, why were they splitting up?

962
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. Why did they get back together? I

963
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 2: also don't know, like there were no inciting incidents on

964
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 2: either end of that. It just kind of like they

965
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 2: just decided. I guess, yeah, And I get that. Sometimes

966
00:55:53,400 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 2: divorce does it come from this like super dramatic place.

967
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean, like it's they say in the movie, like

968
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 2: nobody cheated. There wasn't like some huge events. Sometimes it's

969
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 2: just people like, hey.

970
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: Like we follow out of love and you know, I

971
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: don't really know what to do about that. And I

972
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: can I can get with that. I can get with

973
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: the idea that people want to separate for non dramatic reasons.

974
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: But I also think if you're gonna make a fucking movie,

975
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to explain that to the viewers a

976
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: little bit more than you did.

977
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it needs to be like also they just I

978
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 2: think it would have helped if they made the characters

979
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 2: not get along. But there's so many scenes of them

980
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 2: after they're like we're getting a divorce, them hanging out

981
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 2: and like joking around with each other. And if it's

982
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 2: a it's one of those things where there's not a

983
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 2: dramatic reason that they're splitting up, they at least need

984
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: to not get along in the movie. But they got

985
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 2: along great. It seemed like yeah, I don't know, it

986
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 2: was like weird.

987
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, they would have like these little moments where it's

988
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: just just like, oh, cool, you bought a big car.

989
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: Why'd you do that? Okay, But then they'd be at

990
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: the kid's birthday party and they're running around like you know,

991
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: some damn whimsical you know, Wes Anderson movie, and I'm like, okay, yeah,

992
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: what is it? What is it with these people? And

993
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't understand what's happening?

994
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was like it's almost like

995
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 2: Bradley Cooper wasn't comfortable enough making anyone a bad guy. Like,

996
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 2: no one's a bad guy in this movie, you know,

997
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 2: or do any None of the characters really do anything bad.

998
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 2: I would say, yeah in the movie, And I think

999
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: you have to have your characters do bad things to

1000
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: each other for there to be tension.

1001
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: You know. Also, I seriously, dude, I spent half of

1002
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: the movie wondering if Alex's father because Alex's mother and

1003
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: father play a prominent role. They're kind of like babysitters

1004
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: to the kids. But then they're like kind of around

1005
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: to like give him guph once in a while, right, Like,

1006
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: is Alex's that Mexican? I can't understand who this guy is?

1007
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: What is his car. I don't know the actor Kieren

1008
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: Hinz No, I mean yes, by name. But I also

1009
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: thought his look was super bizarre in this film. Like

1010
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: I was just like, I don't know if that's the

1011
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: way he looks at all films.

1012
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: He's Irish, yeah, and he is in There will be

1013
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 2: Blood and other things. But it's funny because they do

1014
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 2: kind of seem to go out of their way to

1015
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 2: be like, well, he's foreign, but they never say like

1016
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 2: they aren't like he's Irish or like he's that. They

1017
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: say he's like from a different country, and it's sort

1018
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 2: of kept vague.

1019
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's got kind of dark features, and

1020
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,959
Speaker 1: so that's why it was kind of like what's his ethnicity?

1021
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: Is alex half Mexican? Like I don't understand, like what's

1022
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: happening here? So I anyway, again, something too vague to

1023
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: leave unanswered.

1024
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 2: The end of the movie, I was like, so this

1025
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 2: movie is about finding like stand up comedy and finding

1026
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 2: the passion for stand up comedy, but it really like

1027
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 2: loses that along the way. And then at the end

1028
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 2: of the movie, I'm like, wait, so is he moving

1029
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 2: back to Westchester? Because if he does that, he's not

1030
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 2: going to be going up five nights a week in

1031
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 2: the city. So the end of the movie felt like, well,

1032
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm done with stand up now, and so in that way,

1033
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: I'm kind of like, what was the whole point of

1034
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 2: this whole fucking movie? Yeah, you're done with it, Like

1035
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 2: it seems like you tossed it aside without any any thought.

1036
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1037
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: That's how it sort of felt at the end. I

1038
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: don't know, And it was kind of like we're still

1039
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: on the on the fence on whether or not Tessa's

1040
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: reignited flame for him is contention upon him being a

1041
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: stand up right, Yeah.

1042
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 4: So it's kind of like it's confusing the ending that

1043
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 4: they aren't like like I think there had to have

1044
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 4: been a scene where it's like I want to get

1045
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 4: back together, but I still want to do comedy and

1046
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 4: her being like okay, like some acknowledgment of it, but

1047
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 4: it's like not, it's gone.

1048
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 2: It's very weird.

1049
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, like, what do they do do

1050
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: they move back into the city. She's a volleyball coach

1051
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: and he's a stand up comic I know, and they

1052
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: just live a bohemian lifestyle in the same I don't understand, Like,

1053
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: what is the wrap up? Dude? I feel like I've

1054
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: said so much about this film. Uh, it's very clear

1055
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: how I feel. Yes, if we're going to wrap this

1056
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: up in any kind of way, because the whole fucking

1057
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: reason we watched this movie is because of Bradley Cooper

1058
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: and our thoughts of him as a filmmaker. Okay, I

1059
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: think it's fairly obvious that I did not enjoy is

1060
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,479
Speaker 1: this thing on? Okay, besides the fact that it's way

1061
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: too long, over two hours? Why is it over two hours? Again,

1062
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: as a romantic comedy does not need to be this long.

1063
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: The thing that really bothers me about this film in particular,

1064
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: and now that he's made three movies, we can we

1065
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: can you know, assess his filmmaking caurer over the course

1066
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: of three movies. Okay, he made two movies that are

1067
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: essentially gay movies for straight people. Okay, if this is

1068
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: my opinion. By the way, you know, a Star is

1069
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: Born a classic ip which you know is I'm claiming

1070
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: it gay. It's for gay people, like the story is

1071
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: the legend of it that everybody involved in it prior

1072
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: to his version is for the girls and the gays okay, period,

1073
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of straight guys that watched

1074
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: that movie for the first time because of him. Okay.

1075
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Then he makes a second movie about a gay icon

1076
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: again for Oscar bait for straight people.

1077
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1078
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't know who we made it for. He you know,

1079
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: left snoopy in the vestibule. He put on a fake nose.

1080
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean that to me. You know, he's not as

1081
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: not as straight as one would assume, but like, yeah,

1082
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: that's I think what I'm having such a bad reaction

1083
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: towards this movie because it's like.

1084
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Now, I just those movies are also like almost camp,

1085
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 2: they're almost bordering on damp.

1086
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: Yes, again perfect a perfect way of saying it. This

1087
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: recent film is just a super boring straight movie. It's

1088
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: about like middle aged people getting divorce, okay, And it's

1089
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:45,439
Speaker 1: not even like a Nancy Meyers straight people movie, which

1090
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I would argue is actually kind of gay too, a

1091
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Nancy Myers movie, Right, So he's like not fun by

1092
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: making this movie. At least we could find the camp

1093
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: in those first two. I can't even find the camp

1094
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: or joy or anything in this new one. And quite frankly,

1095
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna watch a movie about straight people getting

1096
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: a divorce. I just watched The Squid in the whil again, like,

1097
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna You've got like two precocious you

1098
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: know boys in that movie too, Like it's basically a

1099
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: better version of this movie at the end of the day.

1100
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: And there's no stand up plot, thank god.

1101
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 2: So it is funny because this movie, and I'm loath

1102
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 2: to use this word, but it felt lazy. Yeah, it

1103
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 2: felt like there was like no research into the comedy world.

1104
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 2: It felt like there was no real emotional research into

1105
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,439
Speaker 2: getting a divorce. It was kind of like it felt

1106
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 2: like an outsider perspective. I'm like, what getting a divorce

1107
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: looks like, and even though I don't have any experience

1108
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 2: with that in my life either, but it just it

1109
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 2: didn't feel lived in. And I think Maestro and a

1110
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Star Is Born those felt the opposite of lazy. It

1111
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 2: felt like he went way above and beyond to get

1112
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 2: things done accurately and like make it feel lived in.

1113
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 2: And I just didn't get that sense with this movie. Yeah,

1114
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 2: you know, so I would say it's his worst movie.

1115
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I wonder if he got self

1116
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 2: conscious after Maestro and he's like I have to do

1117
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 2: a real straight movie or something. But like, I want

1118
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 2: him to go back to what he did with the

1119
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 2: first two movies because I legitimately like loved both of those.

1120
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they had moments of true bizarreness that I

1121
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: weirdly appreciated. And I think you're right, the camp factor

1122
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: is what made me appreciate both of them, right, even

1123
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: the like I just wanted to get a good look

1124
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: at you live. Yeah, Like even that is hilarious still

1125
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: to me. And there's moments of that in both these

1126
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, first two film I think I was amused by,

1127
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: and I felt like this movie was just sort of boring.

1128
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's disappointing, Yeah, because I do like him

1129
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 2: and I think he's interesting, and it's funny because you

1130
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 2: couldn't quite let go of He's like, well, it has

1131
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 2: to be about a performer. There has to be a

1132
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 2: performance element to it, which like both of his all

1133
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 2: of his movies include yeah, you know, the character as

1134
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 2: a performer. But I just feel like it was really misguided.

1135
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if like if we're again we're watching there's

1136
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: so many better movies about divorce that you could watch,

1137
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: so many if you're a middle aged guy out there

1138
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: that's like, man, I don't know. I'm going through some

1139
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: hard times with my woman, and I don't know. I'm

1140
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: thinking about making making a pivot. What should I watch?

1141
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Watch literally anything but this, Like watch you know, Squint

1142
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: in the Whale marriage story, you know, scenes from a marriage, Like,

1143
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's just so many movies about divorce

1144
01:05:55,640 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: that kind of are first in line before this one. Yeah.

1145
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

1146
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: And I feel bad saying this because you know, mostly

1147
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I do mostly positive people. We don't like hating things.

1148
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 2: But no, and I really and I think he's really talented,

1149
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 2: and I really want him to make more movies. Like

1150
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't want him to stop making movies. It kind

1151
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 2: of reminds me when we talked about the Materialists, Like

1152
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: I was just like, it just feels off. It just

1153
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 2: is like you weren't playing in the right key signature

1154
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, just something is just wrong. And like

1155
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 2: I want you to get back to where you were before.

1156
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 2: And because I like there's a quality to his films

1157
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 2: that feel very alive and I felt that a little

1158
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 2: bit in is.

1159
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: This thing on?

1160
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 2: But it just I don't know, it just it didn't

1161
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 2: quite work.

1162
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Bradley, I need you to move more towards the bos

1163
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Alartman end of the spectrum and not the Noah Bambbach

1164
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: end of the spectrum.

1165
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I think he was trying to make a Judd

1166
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Appatow movie.

1167
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Well, your real house is being insane, so let's just

1168
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: go that way, Okay, dude.

1169
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 2: Well, I just think back to the interview he did

1170
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: about with Leonard Bernstein's children on sixty Minutes I think

1171
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 2: it was, and they're like, what do you miss most

1172
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 2: about him? And he answered first and he's never met

1173
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 2: the man. And I was like, Okay, that's so crazy

1174
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 2: that he did that, and I want that guy back.

1175
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes artists are out of touch with reality.

1176
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think Prince was living in our

1177
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 2: world when he was making his music. You know, sometimes

1178
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 2: artists are like that. And I don't want you. I

1179
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 2: don't want to see your commentary on everyday life.

1180
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, it's hard to be in the middle.

1181
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: You either got to be like real off the rip

1182
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: or real underground. Yeah, big in the middle is weird.

1183
01:07:52,840 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 2: Anyways, that's our comvo about. Is this thing on? All right, Millie,

1184
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 2: We're back we got some gripes, gropes and grats. Can

1185
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 2: you believe it?

1186
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: I can't. Actually, this entire episode has been a one

1187
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: big film gripe.

1188
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, we got some gropes in here. Consentuals. Okay, here's

1189
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 2: a gripe from Monica. Love your show. It is a

1190
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 2: treasured part of my Tuesday routine. Oh, thank you. Not

1191
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 2: sure if you've talked about this, but I feel Milly

1192
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 2: may have, considering she has definitely spoken about Southern accents before.

1193
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 2: But my film gripe is when someone has a bad

1194
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 2: Southern accent, or if it's a misplaced Southern accent, like

1195
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 2: when it's set in Texas but someone sounds like they're

1196
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 2: from the Carolinas, it really takes me out of it

1197
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,560
Speaker 2: and I get so annoyed. I'm from Oklahoma originally, so

1198
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 2: I can distinguish oak from Texan as well. But I'll

1199
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 2: give that a little bit of a pass. Which also,

1200
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 2: thank you Millie for saying Oklahoma is South, but it's

1201
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 2: a different kind of South. Loll because it's not. Because

1202
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 2: it is, it's not Midwest anyways. That's a geography slash

1203
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: region gripe for another day. Thank you so much again,

1204
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 2: for being yourselves and adding so much fun to film. Monica,

1205
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 2: any thoughts about this, Millie dude?

1206
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Of course, I've got on record about this several times.

1207
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: Monica and I are completely aligned. As a Southern person,

1208
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: listening to bad Southern accents is like nails on shockboard.

1209
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 1: It's like going to an open mic, honestly, and you're

1210
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: absolutely right because you can't put somebody like Sissy Spacek

1211
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 1: who has a classic Texan accent next to Glorrilla or

1212
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: something who is from Memphis, Tennessee and has a very

1213
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: specific Memphis accent, right, Yeah, and even closer in proximity.

1214
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: It's like there's a difference between a Memphis accent and

1215
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: a Atlanta accent, and there's a difference between those two

1216
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: and a Carolina's accent, like a North Carolina's accent. Right.

1217
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: So it's like, as a Southern person, you know this.

1218
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 1: Most other people, though, don't. Hollywood doesn't know that. They'll

1219
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: just be like yo, talk about talk like cockleberry Hound.

1220
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 1: Then you'll be fine, and it's just yeah, it's a

1221
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: I've had that film Gripe forever. So Monica totally with you.

1222
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: I propose, Monica, if you want to write back. Maybe

1223
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: we both come up with the three worst Southern accents

1224
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: in film history. Like this, we do like a top

1225
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: three list. You could do one, I can do one,

1226
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: and we'll compare notes. I'll do it on the podcast. Well,

1227
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: I'm giving you time to think about that.

1228
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 2: But right back, right back in Monica, we need to

1229
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 2: hear from you. Yeah, I want to say sort of similarly.

1230
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 2: It bugs me. You know, Minnesotan. That's a very specific accent.

1231
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 2: It is Midwestern, but it's a little bit more elongated.

1232
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 2: But a lot of times in movies people will have

1233
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 2: Minnesotans talking like Canadians. Yeah, like where they're like, sorry, sorry,

1234
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 2: we don't talk like that, and or they'll make a

1235
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 2: Minnesotan sound like a Chicago guy. They're talking like a

1236
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 2: Chicago like that. It's a different accent and it's a

1237
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 2: confusing accent. But I noticed that as well, and so

1238
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 2: it pisses me off. People don't care about these flyover

1239
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 2: states sometimes coastal elites. Yeah, unbelievable. Uh okay. I have

1240
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 2: a film group, grow Consensual. Here we go play in it.

1241
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,560
Speaker 3: Hi, Millian Casey, my name is Tanner, and I have

1242
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 3: a film group for you. I was reminded of this

1243
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 3: when Casey brought up the movie Society in a discussion

1244
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. And you mean a Society

1245
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 3: starring Love of my Life Billy Warlock bet are known

1246
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 3: as the son of Dick Warlock, actor who played Michael

1247
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 3: Myers and Halloween two.

1248
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Anyways, I digress. What I really love about that movie

1249
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: is that it has some very.

1250
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 3: Delightful practical effects, and I simply think it looks so

1251
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 3: much better than a lot of CGI in used today,

1252
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 3: which looks just kind of very tacky to me in

1253
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 3: a way that I find objectionable. So anyways, love a

1254
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 3: good practical effect, and I would love to hear what

1255
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 3: other films you guys like that have a notable use

1256
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 3: of practical effects. I don't know if you guys talked

1257
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 3: a bit about this in your episode on the Thing,

1258
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 3: but I would love to hear more of your thoughts.

1259
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 2: Oh Man, what a great question. Yeah, and I agree

1260
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 2: obviously when we were talking about that in the Thing

1261
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 2: that you can just see texturally that there's something going

1262
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 2: on with a practical effect in a way, it has

1263
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 2: more soul, it has more texture to it than something

1264
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 2: that's made from CGI.

1265
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I talked about the brief millisecond of shittiness that

1266
01:12:56,280 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 1: happens before a practical effect goes off because there is

1267
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,719
Speaker 1: no seamlessness, you know, as the way it is in CGI,

1268
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:08,839
Speaker 1: where a scene like immediately becomes another thing. Yeah, practical

1269
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: effects has like there has a physicality that has to happen.

1270
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: So there's usually like a millisecond something of shittiness where

1271
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, there's a puppet coming out or whatever,

1272
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: like you know, the chest cavity has to open, uh,

1273
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 1: because it's manual and not you know digital. That is

1274
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: the joy of my life is that millisecond of shittiness

1275
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: before practical effect pops off. It's so nice and it's

1276
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: nostalgic and it like it's and then the sometimes in

1277
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 1: the the more b horror movies, that millisecond drags on

1278
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: into even longer millisecond and it's even better. So you know,

1279
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when I think about practical effects,

1280
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: I really think about the early movies of TIM, Yeah,

1281
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: like Beetlejuice, especially where it's like there's a lot of

1282
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: clay mation, a lot of like prosthetics and just more

1283
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: artistryho goes into that and then it's like later movies.

1284
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,879
Speaker 2: He's like, I love CGI.

1285
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I think there was some interview where he's like, oh,

1286
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 1: I hate looking back on my old movies with like

1287
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 1: the bad special effects.

1288
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 2: I love this CGI I'm able to use now. And

1289
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, the stuff like Alice in Wonderland, that

1290
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 2: stuff looks like shit, the boot Willie Wonka. I just

1291
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 2: think that doesn't look as good as his older stuff.

1292
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean that's kind of like one filmmaker.

1293
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: But honestly, the best practical effects alien early Yeah Cronenberg

1294
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 1: like scanners, Are you kidding me? Classic practical effects? I mean,

1295
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, even stuff like uh, you know, any kind

1296
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:50,759
Speaker 1: of like eighties transformation movie like American were Wolf in London,

1297
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: like all that kind of stuff, fantastic, like all like

1298
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: fun weird horror from the seventies and eighties like.

1299
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, there's one by Peter Jackson from nineteen ninety

1300
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 2: two called Dead Alive I believe it, or it's called

1301
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 2: brain Dead, and this is one of the most goopiest,

1302
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 2: most disgusting movies ever seen. But there's just so much

1303
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 2: good stuff in there. Yeah, there's good practical effects.

1304
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like, honestly, age for me. You know,

1305
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,719
Speaker 1: like I grew up watching eighties and early nineties stuff,

1306
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: so I was lucky. I grew up in the practical

1307
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: effect age, and I was like, this is the shit.

1308
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: Like any science fiction or horror movie that I came

1309
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: across was always practical. So I don't know, I was

1310
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: lucky in that way, but I have so many faves

1311
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: and I still, like I said, I still think they

1312
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,600
Speaker 1: should do them, even though it's probably like cost prohibitive

1313
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: at this point, but and I still want to practical

1314
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: effects artists to come on the podcast. So if you're

Speaker 2: He's just gonna slurp this up. Okay. Another consensual film

1323
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:19,759
Speaker 2: group from Emily from Minneapolis. Love that, Hi, Milian and Casey.

1324
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 2: There are character actors I love so much that I

1325
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 2: will see every movie they are in, regardless of genres,

1326
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 2: slash reviews, slash roll size, you get it. If John

1327
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 2: Leguizamo is in a movie, I'm gonna see it. If

1328
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 2: Tony Klett is in a movie, I'm gonna see it.

1329
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 2: Not only are they insanely talented and transformative, they always

1330
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 2: have great taste regarding the movies that they sign on to.

1331
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 2: So who are your must see actors and what movies

1332
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 2: made you fall in love with them? You both rock?

1333
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Thanks for making me laugh every week, Millie. I was

1334
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 2: thinking about this recently. I don't have that many like

1335
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 2: gotta see actors working today. I would say Philip Seymour

1336
01:16:58,240 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 2: Hoffman used to be one.

1337
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: H I don't know. I mean Steve bu Chevy, like

1338
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: that's that's a great one. You think Keanu is a

1339
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: character actor, No.

1340
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 2: I guess he's not. He's a leading man.

1341
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 1: Well, and like to be real, I was a huge

1342
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: well I mean, I shouldn't say this. There have been

1343
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 1: times where I loved a character actor and then that

1344
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: character actor became like a main guy and I was like, hm,

1345
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like that's happened with Walton Goggins

1346
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 1: a little bit.

1347
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, where I was like

1348
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 2: he's lost as bloom a little little bit.

1349
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: And I mean I'm not even talking about somebody like

1350
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: Paul Giomanni, for example, who is like always going to

1351
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 1: be a character actor but is the star of movies.

1352
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: Walton Goggins went from being like a creepy redneck guy

1353
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: to now being like kind of a haughty in things. Yeah,

1354
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: And I was like, huh, I don't know what do

1355
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: I feel about that? I mean, there's a lot. There's

1356
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of great character actors in there. Anytime I

1357
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: see Donald Log in a movie, if he pops in

1358
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: a movie for two fucking seconds, I'm like, great movie.

1359
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 2: You know who?

1360
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 3: I like?

1361
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: Shaye Wigham, Yeah, love Shaye Wiggham, Fuck, I love that guy.

1362
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: Every time he pops in, I'm like, hell yeah, dude,

1363
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: great to have you here. Yeah. I mean there's so

1364
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 1: many good ones. I love Margot Martindale, like rest in Peace, Queen,

1365
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: but Contrata Parrel. Anytime she was in a movie, I

1366
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: loved her.

1367
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 2: You know who's my main one?

1368
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: Right now? Do you know who this is?

1369
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 2: A young woman, Ivy Woke? Do you know? Yes?

1370
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 1: She was in Anora?

1371
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 2: Right, She's in Anora. She's in If I had legs

1372
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 2: i'd kick you. Yeah, she's great. She plays like annoying

1373
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 2: young person really well. Yeah, and I love her.

1374
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's great. You know, somebody made the case for

1375
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: John Carroll Lynch being the greatest dude and not just

1376
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,440
Speaker 1: the creepy guy from Zodiac, which I very much appreciated.

1377
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 1: But you know, honestly, my favorite character actors are the

1378
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: old school ones, like I mean, the most I think

1379
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 1: for me, my possibly my favorite character actor of all

1380
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: time is Timothy Carey. And I don't really know if

1381
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 1: many of y'all know who he is. He was in

1382
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: quite a few Stanley Kubrick films, like most notably he

1383
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 1: was in Paths of Glory and The Killing. He was

1384
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: in a lot of Cassavetti's films, and he ended up

1385
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: making his own movie self financed, called The World's Greatest Center,

1386
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: which is like one of the weirdest movies I've ever

1387
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: seen in my life. To me, he is a perfect

1388
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: character actor. Just like he comes on screen, he's fucked

1389
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: up for like ten fifteen minutes, and then he goes

1390
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: away and then you're just like, well, I want him

1391
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: to come back. I don't know what happened there.

1392
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:08,560
Speaker 2: Well, Timothy Carries an interesting one too, because he I

1393
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 2: feel like good character actors also have like a like

1394
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 2: they're weird people in light in life too, like they

1395
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 2: almost like stumbled into acting kind of as an afterthought. Yeah,

1396
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 2: you know, and he had there was something where he

1397
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 2: was like really disruptive on the movie Paths of Glory.

1398
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like that was like he was like an

1399
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 1: absolute maniac.

1400
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh he faked his own kidnapping to generate personal publicity,

1401
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 2: which prompted Kubrick to fire him. So he's he was

1402
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 2: fired halfway through.

1403
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's an absolute maniac. I also, of

1404
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: course would be remissive. I mentioned John Cazal, who was

1405
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 1: a character actor that happened to be in like five

1406
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 1: incredible you know, classic films.

1407
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, he's in five movies and they're like

1408
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 2: in the top twenty five greatest films of all time. Yeah.

1409
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 1: But like all of my favorite actors are pretty much

1410
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: character I just like Warren Oates. I mean I could

1411
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: go down the list of you know, William H. Macy,

1412
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, like Michael Parks, like even people from like

1413
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 1: classic Hollywood, like a Sterling Hayden or a Robert Ryan

1414
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, I like, to me,

1415
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: I think that they're just more interesting, and you know,

1416
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: like for every Bradley Cooper, there's going to be some

1417
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: absolute fucking weirdo that's kind of like popping into a

1418
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: scene and stealing the show, you know, And I don't know, Yeah,

1419
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm just that person.

1420
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 2: It's time for employees' picks. Yeah, film recommendations based on

1421
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 2: the theme of the discussion. Really, what do you got

1422
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 2: for us today?

1423
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 1: Well? I couldn't. I couldn't honestly figure this one out.

1424
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: This week. I was like, Okay, what am I going

1425
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: to recommend based on a movie that I pretty much

1426
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: disliked the entire time? Sure, but then I decided that

1427
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 1: I was going to go in this direction, which is like,

1428
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 1: what's a movie about a guy that follows a sort

1429
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: of self involved pursuit and then ends up getting his

1430
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: wife or girlfriend back? M hm. And then I was like,

1431
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,919
Speaker 1: it's got to be high fidelity from two thousand.

1432
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 2: Sure, I beloved I love that movie.

1433
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 1: Well, and it's like in that similar way, which is

1434
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 1: kind of like I'm I'm on the rocks with my lady.

1435
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 1: How am I going to process it? I'm going to

1436
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: do something that's kind of like self indulgent in Navel Gaizy,

1437
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 1: which is, I'm going to start a record label and

1438
01:22:52,240 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, put out music by kids, and maybe in

1439
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: some way that's gonna entice my woman back, And in

1440
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: fact it does, yeah, because it shows some like weird

1441
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: admitiative or something.

1442
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, But that High Fidility does such a better job

1443
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 2: of explaining why I'm I follow the logic of High

1444
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 2: Fidelity much better than Yes is this?

1445
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,919
Speaker 1: Whereas because that movie is literally all about the details,

1446
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: that's the complete opposite approach, which is basically like, do

1447
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 1: you want a minute by minute play back of the

1448
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: highs and lows of my relationship? And this is exactly

1449
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: why we broke up. It becomes very clear as to

1450
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: why they're not supposed to be together versus Bradley's Mooth.

1451
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: It was just no no explanation whatsoever. But you know

1452
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like, you can see why I'm linking

1453
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: these two movies together.

1454
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 2: Sure, yes, I totally can. I also think High Fidility

1455
01:23:57,960 --> 01:23:59,719
Speaker 2: does a better job because I feel like the movie

1456
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 2: it's self is saying Rob the main character is a

1457
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 2: fucking idiot and isn't and I feel like the is

1458
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 2: this thing on is kind of like, well, this guy's

1459
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 2: kind of cool, Like what he's doing is cool.

1460
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: Well, it's like, but I always am gonna argue. Okay,

1461
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: think about the gender reversal of this. Okay, this would

1462
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 1: this would be tantamount to a woman and her husband

1463
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 1: are getting a divorce and he's not in love with

1464
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: her anymore, so she opens an Etsy shop and then

1465
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,719
Speaker 1: he's like, I love you again, Let's get back together.

1466
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: Isn't that what we're talking about. It's the same conceit.

1467
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: It's basically like, oh, I'm gonna do something that is

1468
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: just like so like I'm gonna have my own personal

1469
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:51,520
Speaker 1: mode of discovery via something that is very self indulgent,

1470
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,679
Speaker 1: and then that somehow woos my ex back into my arms.

1471
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Or I'm gonna be a pilates teacher and my husband's like,

1472
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,600
Speaker 1: what I just saw you teach a class out of

1473
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: the window of your Plotius studio and like, now I

1474
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: love you again. It's the same thing, and I'm like,

1475
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Hollywood is never making that movie. So anyway, good, you

1476
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: gotta get me off this microphone by saying oh now.

1477
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well okay, mine sort of I also had like

1478
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 2: a hard time following, like, oh, what should I what

1479
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 2: kind of movie should I recommend? And I'm going with

1480
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 2: the more positive spin on the movie, which is that

1481
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 2: I think it's cool to learn something new and become

1482
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 2: a part of a new community and humble yourself before

1483
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 2: that community in order to enter that community and finding yourself,

1484
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 2: like finding out about yourself, entering into kind of a

1485
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 2: new thing. And I'm recommending two thousand and nine's Whip

1486
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 2: It directed by Drew Barrymore her only movies she ever directed.

1487
01:25:59,960 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 2: It's about roller Derby and Elliott Page entering into the

1488
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 2: roller Derby and finding themselves in that.

1489
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: Uh.

1490
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 2: And I liked that movie. I thought it was really

1491
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 2: cute and fun and I haven't seen it in a

1492
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 2: long time. But there's a speech that Juliette Lewis gives

1493
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 2: where Julie Lewis is like, do you know how old

1494
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 2: I was before I found this is my thing? Roller

1495
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 2: Derby's my thing? Do you know how old I was

1496
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 2: when I found out found my thing?

1497
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 1: I was thirty five? And in the movie it's like, WHOA,

1498
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: that's old. But obviously I'm older than that now, and

1499
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not old. Ain't that funny?

1500
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 2: Not funny? But anyways, I enjoyed that movie.

1501
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 4: I thought it was fun and I Drew, get off

1502
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 4: the damn couch start directing some more movies.

1503
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to call up Bradley and be like,

1504
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: wh where's the money you're getting? Can I have something?

1505

01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 1: We're talking about this movie that I've actually never seen before,

1527
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:05,560
Speaker 1: I know, and I'm making up for lost time. I

1528
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: have no idea why we're watching this movie. I think

1529
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: is it a wait? Is it a I think it's

1530
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 1: an anniversary.

1531
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 2: Hold on, it's technically an anniversary, but also the NBA

1532
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 2: playoffs are starting soon, and it kind of lines up

1533
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 2: with that.

1534
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's I think that's exactly why we picked it.

1535
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember why, but we are going to watch

1536
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 1: Space Jam from nineteen eighty six, and I'm sure my

1537
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 1: mind is going to be completely fucking blown. Now.

1538
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 2: This is the movie I saw in theaters and when

1539
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:44,680
Speaker 2: it was done, I remember thinking, well, that's going to

1540
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 2: win the Best Picture for the Academy.

1541
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: I think that's something you said on a very early

1542
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: podcast that I laughed about it for weeks after you

1543
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 1: said it.

1544
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: How could it not? Why wouldn't Why wouldn't that win

1545
01:28:58,960 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 2: Best Picture?

1546
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:05,120

Speaker 2: this movie.

1549
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: God, I feel like I've been so negative. I need

1550
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: to go be positive, put positivity in the world.

1551
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 2: It was negative in the service of our love for

1552
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 2: Bradley Cooper, because we love Bradley Cooper and we support him.

1553
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't support it making movies.

1554
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 2: That's fine, a slight misstep, but we look forward. Well,
