Speaker 1: the podcast where two idiots watched every film on the
Speaker 1: AFI's one hundred Greatest American Movies of All Time, the
Speaker 1: very slightly less racist tenth Anniversary edition, and are now
Speaker 1: spending our time watching movies directed by women. Oh.
Speaker 2: This podcast is a safe train station for people who
Speaker 2: don't know anything about movies. Today we're watching Lapta ladies. Whooh,
Speaker 2: there's no shame in being an idiot, but being.
Speaker 1: Proud about it. That's shameful. Get it out of my.
Speaker 2: Sight, a film recommended by a pal who you'll hear
Speaker 2: all about. Warning there will be spoilers about this women
Speaker 2: recent film.
Speaker 1: Oh come on, well, Leanna, listen to your predictions.

Speaker 1: There's at least one second that I forgot what I
Speaker 1: was saying, and I have to edit it out. Ready, Hi, Leanna,
Speaker 1: I'm about to watch. I hope that's pronounced correctly. This
Speaker 1: looks like it's a Hindi language, though, and I haven't
Speaker 1: seen anything else about that except for the fact that
Speaker 1: it's two hours or something. It's okay because those ladies.
Speaker 1: My predictions for this movie, I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: am praying. I'm sorry. I don't know, but my hope
Speaker 1: is that it's about sisters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's about sisters, kind of sisters. Okay, I love you, goodbye.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I was so close to the mic.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I do apologize.
Speaker 2: That's okay, I forgive you. I mean there there was sisterhood, certainly.
Speaker 1: M sisterhood galorn mm mmmm well before we talk about it.
Speaker 1: Hey girl, Hey girl girl, how's it going? Girl? Girls? Girl?
Speaker 2: Oh girl. I was supposed to get my visa decision
Speaker 2: this past Monday from the government and I still haven't no, no,
Speaker 2: And I called the government yesterday. I said hi me again,
Speaker 2: remember me from last time? And asked, uh, is anything
Speaker 2: like wrong? And they were like no, there's just a
Speaker 2: backlog of visa applications to be processed. Yeah. And I
Speaker 2: was like, okay, well, do you have a sense of
Speaker 2: like how long the delay will be and they were
Speaker 2: like no, they have not given us a timeline. And
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, my current visa expires two weeks
Speaker 2: from tomorrow. Will that be an issue? And they were
Speaker 2: like no, because while they're making a decision on your
Speaker 2: next one, you're allowed to remain in the country. And
Speaker 2: I'm like yeah, but if they say no to the
Speaker 2: next one and it's after my old one has expired,
Speaker 2: what I was like, Okay, I have a plane ticket
Speaker 2: to fly to America two weeks and two days from
Speaker 2: tomorrow for a family obligation. If I haven't heard about
Speaker 2: the visa by then, can I still go? And they
Speaker 2: were like, we don't recommend traveling while your visa application
Speaker 2: is being processed, so we just don't know yet. We
Speaker 2: just don't know. We cannot know, and my body is
Speaker 2: giving in. It really is like the physiological the damage
Speaker 2: my body is taking from these hits is intense in
Speaker 2: what way. I it kind of hurts to breathe. My
Speaker 2: toe really hurts, my left big toe. I have a
Speaker 2: lot of of course, my visa toe, my visa toe
Speaker 2: is so I don't know if I broke it or
Speaker 2: if I've been wearing boots with a heel too much
Speaker 2: and it's feeling overused. I'm not really sure what's going
Speaker 2: on with my toe, but it's it's been speaking up recently.
Speaker 2: It's been speaking out, asking for what it needs. Unfortunately
Speaker 2: I can't understand it to give it then it whatever
Speaker 2: it is that it needs. So my toe is in
Speaker 2: anguish my shoulders. Of course, I keep planning like, well,
Speaker 2: once I get the decision whatever it is, I'm going
Speaker 2: to get a massage because at least then I can
Speaker 2: let go of the tension I've been holding onto. But
Speaker 2: I still can't get a massage because I still don't
Speaker 2: have a decision. Well, Leonna, you could get a massage. No,
Speaker 2: that would jinx it, I don't think so if I
Speaker 2: got a massage before a visa confirmation, I would be
Speaker 2: deported immediately we.
Speaker 1: Don't recommend getting don't recommend getting a massage while your
Speaker 1: application is being reviewed. If there was an AI unfortunately
Speaker 1: trying to do what is ruining your life right now,
Speaker 1: it would be this. It would be like, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: on my visa decision, m and it's the country I'm
Speaker 1: asking for a visa in doesn't work. Dude, that sucks.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: So now it's like I just have to pick a
Speaker 2: day well, depending on I guess American Airlines by which
Speaker 2: if I haven't heard, I gotta cancel that flight. Baby,
Speaker 2: I cannot go. Please recredit those miles to my account. Damn,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to my cousin. It is I mean, I
Speaker 2: will say it's the most iron clad excuse, yeah for
Speaker 2: not making a wedding. If you don't have all time
Speaker 2: and they don't let you back in, I can't leave
Speaker 2: the I can't come to your wedding because I'm not
Speaker 2: allowed to leave the country that I'm in, which is
Speaker 2: not the one that your wedding is happening in, because
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get a visa so as to not
Speaker 2: have to live in the country where your wedding is happening. Right. Sorry, Sorry, anyway,
Speaker 2: sorry to this cousin, Sorry to this cousin.
Speaker 1: Well, girl, I'm so sorry. No sorry, I've heard not
Speaker 1: countless things of this sort happening to you at this point,
Speaker 1: and I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least I know where my passport is, yes,
Speaker 2: because I didn't have to mail it in this time around.
Speaker 2: Is that a bird chirping outside of your window? Because
Speaker 2: it's really beautiful? Oh, please keep it, don't do anything
Speaker 2: to change that. I love it. Okay, I need I
Speaker 2: need something that's gorgeous right now.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know if I told you. I changed
Speaker 1: the configuration of my room, but now I record near
Speaker 1: the window and I love that. So oh yes, yes,
Speaker 1: hey girl, hey girl. Springtime in Los Angeles is here,
Speaker 1: and I realized this is the only time I really
Speaker 1: feel like I I enjoy it here in this area.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because spring. I've always loved spring. And it's really
Speaker 1: it's really sweet here, you know, like school's still in session,
Speaker 1: but you can feel that people are excited about the
Speaker 1: sun coming out, and there's animals coming back.
Speaker 2: And animals are coming back.
Speaker 1: Animals, animals are back, baby animals are.
Speaker 2: Back doing the animals leave La for a time.
Speaker 1: I mean, there haven't been birds chirping in this way. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe they're migrated over here. Yeah, but uh, let's see. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going on tour, which we have to announce, but
Speaker 1: I'll be going on tour with my puppet group. Uh,
Speaker 1: I just can never say it. I'm going on tour
Speaker 1: with my puppet group. We're touring with a musician. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be so interesting. I'm actually getting really excited. But
Speaker 1: we are going to like we're going to be in
Speaker 1: the car for whole long. Oh my god?
Speaker 2: How who? What's are the logistics set to do? People
Speaker 2: like which vehicle people are going in? Okay, what are
Speaker 2: the logistics? What the logistics are?
Speaker 1: A big car with a trailer on the back.
Speaker 2: Wow, So we're going.
Speaker 1: Phoenix south by southwest Oklahoma City?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, which is the one place where we can't
Speaker 1: find anyone who will talk to us. I'm on outreach
Speaker 1: and I've been trying to like I've you know, been
Speaker 1: saying that does anybody know anybody from there? And somebody
Speaker 1: will know somebody who has a roommate, and yeah, they
Speaker 1: just they won't put me in contact with the person.
Speaker 1: And then there was one guy who reached out to
Speaker 1: me based on my story post and he was like,
Speaker 1: uh huh, I have all sorts of connections in Oklahoma
Speaker 1: City and I went, oh, my gosh, that would be great.
Speaker 1: You have recommendations of like publications or radio shows or
Speaker 1: little things that we can try to just alert Yeah,
Speaker 1: he ghosted me. Oh and I've messaged three times now.
Speaker 2: WUTF So anyway, it's all good. Wow, are you having
Speaker 2: to do all the publicity on behalf of the musician.
Speaker 2: It's kind of weird in that way the musicians doing
Speaker 2: He's doing his own, but we're doing it all together,
Speaker 2: so we're kind of it's like a joint situation. But
Speaker 2: we're trying to contact other DIY artist people because they're
Speaker 2: yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah damn country. Yeah, I'm excited for it, but it's
Speaker 1: I'm one of my one of my jobs that I've
Speaker 1: made up and took upon myself is fiber coordinator because
Speaker 1: I do not up on the road anyway. Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: fiber coordinator because I'm so scared of being on the
Speaker 1: road and being completely stopped up for three and a
Speaker 1: half thanks, I'm really scrash.
Speaker 2: Are you going to do your poop speech.
Speaker 1: My poop speech, you mean, like when I want gave
Speaker 1: a poop speech to what you're staying with a friend.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I mean. I think about it so often.
Speaker 1: Yes, listeners, I was once staying with a group and
Speaker 1: I was like, I need everybody to be out of
Speaker 1: the house when I try to use the bathroom, so
Speaker 1: I give a poop speech, and they like, weren't. I
Speaker 1: thought they were going to be like I thought they
Speaker 1: were gonna be like, oh my god, you're so funny,
Speaker 1: don't even worry about it. But they were kind of like, uh, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: well leave.
Speaker 2: I just loved what you were trying to do, something revolutionary,
Speaker 2: you know, which, as you said to a group of people,
Speaker 2: you said, it's important that we all acknowledge at some
Speaker 2: point this weekend, I'm going to have to poop and
Speaker 2: it's going to happen, and we all need to be adults.
Speaker 1: And you didn't want to hear it about it.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, unacceptable behavior. They are the problem, really really going
Speaker 2: out on a limb. Poopets poop.
Speaker 1: I know we're all thinking about for you to have,
Speaker 1: but I hope someone's thinking about the poopets poop.
Speaker 2: It's you are You're on fiber duty.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So anyway, it'll be interesting. Stay tuned, you'll
Speaker 1: be regular. If anybody knows anybody in Oklahoma City, please
Speaker 1: hit me up. The important thing is we will be
Speaker 1: taking a few weeks off. We'll be back again in
Speaker 1: early April. Stay tuned. You can watch on our Instagram.
Speaker 1: But until then, have a good little springtime, Happy Lent,
Speaker 1: Happy Women's Month, and happy Women's Month.
Speaker 2: Mmm, great, gorgeen.
Speaker 1: Well, Leanna, shall we talk about this dang movie?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, speaking of travel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of being in a vehicle, yeah, and being concerned.
Speaker 2: Could you please give us a synopsis of the film
Speaker 2: Lapata Ladies.
Speaker 1: Yes, I wrote this immediately after watching it last night,
Speaker 1: and it is very long. Okay, great, Okay, Lapata Ladies.
Speaker 1: I will sit back and relax, which apparently in Hindi
Speaker 1: means missing ladies.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: After a farcical post nuptial train situation, two identically dressed
Speaker 1: brides in India gets switched. Deepak ends up back at
Speaker 1: his village with the wrong woman, and Pool ends up
Speaker 1: lost at the train station where she stepped off with
Speaker 1: the other husband. But don't worry about that right now.
Speaker 1: The wrong woman in question that I just mentioned is Jaya,
Speaker 1: but she, while in Deepak's town, lies about everything because
Speaker 1: her new husband that I just mentioned a second ago
Speaker 1: is terrible and she really wants to go to agriculture school,
Speaker 1: so she uses this as a time to lay low
Speaker 1: before going to school. But then she lies to everybody,
Speaker 1: so everybody suspicious all the time. It makes you seem
Speaker 1: really suspicious, especially because there's a group of fake bride
Speaker 1: bandits on the loose, by the way, which also complicates
Speaker 1: things because the police are involved a lot. The police,
Speaker 1: by the way, are super corrupt, which also complicates things.
Speaker 1: And then meanwhile, well Pool can't remember the name of
Speaker 1: any villages she either came from or is going to
Speaker 1: because she was raised to be uninformed and helpless dude
Speaker 1: to society, which they do discuss. And also, by the way,
Speaker 1: in this culture, girls aren't even supposed to say their
Speaker 1: husband's names out loud, so everything gets really complicated. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's feminist and warm
Speaker 1: and funny and awesome, and everything turns out great. Yes
Speaker 1: the end, Yes, everyone finds each other. Who needs to
Speaker 1: find everybody who doesn't want to be together.
Speaker 2: They aren't. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, me, Oh my.
Speaker 1: Gosh, I'm lost. Do you remember the name of the
Speaker 1: podcast I was just doing? Does anybody remember I never
Speaker 1: wrote down the name of the podcast I was doing,
Speaker 1: So I'll just have to sleep here for three days.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, yes, oh, Sienna, let's jump into
Speaker 2: phone notes. That's the section where we read the notes
Speaker 2: that we took on our I almost said, on each
Speaker 2: other's phones. Oh, we read each other's notes watching the
Speaker 2: film first of all, just up top, what do you
Speaker 2: think I mean, I'm getting it, so I'm gidding a vibe.
Speaker 2: I loved it so much. Oh my god, I had
Speaker 2: the best time watching this.
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it. It was so fun
Speaker 1: it was I literally called Kelsey in the middle of
Speaker 1: watching it because I'm like, I have to tell you
Speaker 1: what's happening in this. Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 1: And then I went to my God and told her
Speaker 1: the same thing. And that's what I found out. It's
Speaker 1: actually kind of difficult to describe because one girl, let
Speaker 1: me just try, comes out names. One girl is at
Speaker 1: the train station but she got off well the other guy.
Speaker 1: But the guy's bad but and then the other girl,
Speaker 1: she seems bad, but I don't know if she's going
Speaker 1: to be bad. It seems like she's doesn't like her husband,
Speaker 1: but like she's at the village and and the other
Speaker 1: two are really in love. Anyway, I loved it.
Speaker 2: I loved it the premise alone. As soon as they
Speaker 2: got on the train and there were like three people
Speaker 2: in the same outfit and you couldn't tell who was who.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, okay, oh I love that. Oh I
Speaker 2: love that. It really was like a true farce. It
Speaker 2: was extremely farce.
Speaker 1: And be like there are things all the and then
Speaker 1: it's complicated by the fact that there are certain cultural
Speaker 1: practices that make it. Like when it turned out that
Speaker 1: she was lying, but when they asked Jaya, they're like, well,
Speaker 1: why didn't you see it was your husband? And she's like,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to look down. It's wedding day, and I have.
Speaker 2: To look down. I literally can't see through the day.
Speaker 2: One So there's like one cell phone. Yeah, crap, it's
Speaker 2: it's a crap Nokia. It probably still would work today,
Speaker 2: to be fair, but farce.
Speaker 1: Oh I loved, Oh, I just loved I'm so glad, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you to actionha, thank you. Action say. Okay, Leanna,
Speaker 1: you said, oh.
Speaker 2: I just remembered you said.
Speaker 1: Honestly, at this point, I could be down for an
Speaker 1: arranged marriage. Okay, let's talk about that. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: that the best we can. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 2: Nothing in my life is in control right now, and
Speaker 2: so at this point, I'm like, you know what, somebody
Speaker 2: else take the reins and tell me what to do,
Speaker 2: because I don't like the feeling like I can't do anything.
Speaker 1: It completely is one of those practices that you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I completely. I wish there was some form of that,
Speaker 1: like of matchmaking that existed in our culture that you
Speaker 1: could go like the you weren't as in control of
Speaker 1: I know they have because you're like, I want a
Speaker 1: trusted person to match me with somebody else, and we're
Speaker 1: both just good with the situation.
Speaker 2: It's fine. Yeah, it's a okay whatever. And I don't
Speaker 2: even know if these marriages I don't know if, I mean,
Speaker 2: was their marriage arranged? Their's They seemed like I know
Speaker 2: Jayas was, but these two were in love, which was
Speaker 2: very sweet. But I was just like, listen, I maybe
Speaker 2: that's what I've been missing. It's just somebody else to
Speaker 2: arrange it because I'm not doing any work. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: not trying at all, totally well, and I feel like
Speaker 2: there's so much pressure in our culture to like find
Speaker 2: the one, yeah, find the perfect match. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: maybe it doesn't have to be that. Maybe just find
Speaker 2: something which I might have to do if this visa
Speaker 2: gets denied, I might have to arrange a marriage.
Speaker 1: Oh that would be so fun. Wait, please.
Speaker 2: Please, Leanna.
Speaker 1: You've said I have nothing to offer as a wife TM.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about your own personal dowry?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I was thinking about that. I was like,
Speaker 2: I mean I could have I could I could offer
Speaker 2: like monetary whatever, But in terms of like being a
Speaker 2: traditional domestic wife TM, I do not have anything to offer.
Speaker 2: I cannot cook, what is I don't want to like
Speaker 2: maintain the home. I hate children. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: It's possible that I won't bang you, like there's just
Speaker 2: it's arguably zero's across the board from me.
Speaker 1: I have a few thoughts, and I think these are important.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say, Okay, So I've been watching Love
Speaker 1: Is Blind. It's a very boring season. Unfortunately everybody d
Speaker 1: C or which city. This one is Minneapolis. So everybody
Speaker 1: talks like this, they'll be like, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2: Everyone broke up in the pod. I love that.
Speaker 1: So now there's only like there's been no reveals, no,
Speaker 1: not everyone. There's like four couples, but there were a
Speaker 1: couple more couples that were clearly going to be some
Speaker 1: of the like exciting ones, and then they broke up
Speaker 1: because unfortunately I respect themselves. Oh so there's not as
Speaker 1: many now, and nothing dramatic is happening. I love that
Speaker 1: there is one guy who's really really bad, but all
Speaker 1: the bad is happening slowly, so it's like not good TV.
Speaker 2: Oh, very boring.
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is even the couples who are getting along,
Speaker 1: there's this weird thing on reality TV that I just
Speaker 1: think people who don't think too hard about their partners
Speaker 1: can speak this way, which is this concept of like, oh,
Speaker 1: I really want to come home to this, this is
Speaker 1: what I want for my partner. I love if there
Speaker 1: was somebody who when I get home, like this is
Speaker 1: what's ready for me. It's like that's not what a
Speaker 1: partner should employ at all. That's like what a robot
Speaker 1: in your house does, know it trips me up so much.
Speaker 1: The idea that you could love somebody and be like,
Speaker 1: it's just so perfect, because I always wanted somebody who
Speaker 1: would have this waiting for me when I get home.
Speaker 2: Same you. Yeah, but that would be me. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: have anything waiting for you. I'd be on the couch.
Speaker 1: And that should be enough. And you guys make dinner together.
Speaker 1: That should be enough. Anyway. The other thing is, I
Speaker 1: think we have to decide right now what is our dowry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what would you put in your dowry?
Speaker 1: What is my dawry? Right now? My dowry would be
Speaker 1: I have a good My family is good at talking
Speaker 1: about things, so I can provide that sort of a
Speaker 1: good conversational bass that's holidays would be like enjoyable and
Speaker 1: if you need to talk through an issue, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a good place to do it. I have a
Speaker 1: dad who understands business and finance. M m hm, so
Speaker 1: I can provide a business dad. Let's see what do
Speaker 1: I have in terms of things. I have a guitar.
Speaker 1: I have one of those you know those things that
Speaker 1: you plug into your laptop that like adapts it.
Speaker 2: To the Oh yeah, that's really useful. Yeah, that's really helpful.
Speaker 2: You definitely everybody should have that in their dowry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that's mostly it. And then an
Speaker 1: understanding of as a as a wife, I would provide
Speaker 1: a real, a real desire to avoid the sun, like
Speaker 1: to sun protection.
Speaker 2: I think you bring that too, Yeah, I sure do.
Speaker 1: This is the sun Protected podcast, Pale Pod, Pale Pod.
Speaker 1: What about you.
Speaker 2: I have a really large plush seal yeah, uh huh,
Speaker 2: called Prince Herbert. But he can fit into almost any suitcase.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. That is amazing I have.
Speaker 2: I have a Colorado flag, a flag from my home state,
Speaker 2: so if I ever got lost, I would remember where
Speaker 2: I'm from because I have the flag right from where
Speaker 2: that is. I have the patience to do a really
Speaker 2: overly needlessly complex paint by number, but not the discipline
Speaker 2: to finish it in anything under four years.
Speaker 1: Sure, but you know, and to finish something after four
Speaker 1: years is actually really that's really that's really impressive, because
Speaker 1: I feel like once you give up, Once I give
Speaker 1: up on something, I don't go back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's the I guess I won't. I
Speaker 2: don't give up on things. Is that true? No, I
Speaker 2: give up on friendships really easily.
Speaker 1: Well, friendships are different than a paint by number.
Speaker 2: Else, I think I'm I'm a little bit too Like
Speaker 2: my visa decision is still up in the air, and
Speaker 2: there's been scaffolding on our balcony for a month now
Speaker 2: blocking out the light. So I think I'm really too
Speaker 2: mentally ill to Yeah, have a sturdy dowry beyond those
Speaker 2: items totally.
Speaker 1: Well, if mental illness stop people from partnering up, then
Speaker 1: it would be very different world. So I think you're good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well that's been our dowry. And we both have a podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we each can offer fifty percent of a podcast.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of a podcast that's owned mostly percentage by
Speaker 1: a big corporation.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, not nice who for licensing reasons, they might
Speaker 2: not even be able to serve.
Speaker 1: We own it, actually a very small percentage of our
Speaker 1: own podcast. We both own some pretty expensive microphones.
Speaker 2: That's my dowry. Oh god, I'm not giving a microphone
Speaker 2: to a man.
Speaker 1: Oh, we have to give it to them.
Speaker 2: Isn't that the whole thing of a dowry?
Speaker 1: It is bold.
Speaker 2: Oh, they just kind of knew it was there, Leanna,
Speaker 2: You've said it'd be really funny, like putting a dowry
Speaker 2: together of stuff you're you don't want. Uh huh, You're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I've been actually trying to get rid of this thing.
Speaker 2: So do you want these old tennis shoes or like
Speaker 2: this that I can't donate?
Speaker 1: It's my dowry. Here you go, Leanna. Did you watch
Speaker 1: the dub or the sub?
Speaker 2: I watched the subtitled version. Dub dubbing makes me feel
Speaker 2: crazy watching a film that's then been dubbed in the
Speaker 2: English language. But you watched the I watched the dub,
Speaker 2: and at certain points a couple of times I switched
Speaker 2: to the sub just because it was like they were
Speaker 2: making a joke or something that I wanted to hear
Speaker 2: in the original language. So I got to hear everybody's
Speaker 2: actual voices, which was really helpful.
Speaker 1: Oh. I enjoyed the dub. It wasn't It wasn't a
Speaker 1: really bad dub, And I also had the sub on
Speaker 1: it at the same time, so I could see like,
Speaker 1: what the different translations whow yeah, whoa. I enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: But I was eating dinner and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to have to read what I understand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you wrote down this line that I also saw,
Speaker 1: which is your blunder would even shock our ancestors? That
Speaker 1: was so funny. There were some amazing lines in.
Speaker 2: This can I hm, I don't mean for this to
Speaker 2: be mean, but it might sound mean. Are you in
Speaker 2: a place where you can hear something like that. Yes,
Speaker 2: that line made me.
Speaker 1: Think of you. Thank you so much. I've made a
Speaker 1: number of blunders. I loved the word blunder. It's like
Speaker 1: so and it does. It evokes something where I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: my blunder, my blunder.
Speaker 2: That would shock even our ancestors.
Speaker 1: Blunder, I've made a blunder that would shock even my ancestors.
Speaker 1: Like sometimes you make a blunder that would shock even
Speaker 1: your ancestors. Okay, one of the translations, you know, he
Speaker 1: gives that little speech about like you don't want to
Speaker 1: go to the cops.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Ever, yeah, is your jewelry?
Speaker 1: The translation in the way that in the dubbed version
Speaker 1: was it was like, losing your jewelry is a problem,
Speaker 1: no doubt, but going to the police station really stresses
Speaker 1: you out. Oh that was like that's.
Speaker 2: So much like worse than the original. But they had
Speaker 2: to make it rhyme, because the original one is like
Speaker 2: Lost Jewelry is like twofold in terms of like hardship
Speaker 2: one the loss of the item, and to the inquiry
Speaker 2: with the cops. Yeah, which is so funny and inquiry
Speaker 2: really rhythmic, but definitely rhyme.
Speaker 1: Going to the cops really stresses you out.
Speaker 2: That's true. Oh and speaking of Sienna, thank you you
Speaker 2: noted that's too much in your mouth, sir.
Speaker 1: This character intro was crazy. This is one of the
Speaker 1: craziest scenes I've ever seen. This is when they go
Speaker 1: to the police station because they keep saying, they keep
Speaker 1: implying like I don't want to go to the cops,
Speaker 1: Like if anything bad happens, I am not going to
Speaker 1: the cops, Like it sucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then we get there and we see obviously there's like
Speaker 1: a comical amount of corruption, but beyond that, it's not
Speaker 1: just that this guy is so weird. So his mouth
Speaker 1: is filled to the brim with I guess tobacco what
Speaker 1: I settled on, and then.
Speaker 2: I was begging. I was begging, so he has he's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: his cheeks are so full, and he was trying to
Speaker 2: do a Godfather impression. We forgot about that I forgot
Speaker 2: she was singing. She was singing to lesson to take
Speaker 2: down the fine, yea, to reduce the fine again. So
Speaker 2: I love that they.
Speaker 1: Were showing that there's the sort of wiggly rules around
Speaker 1: the law.
Speaker 2: It's like, but it's in corruptly and the police force
Speaker 2: is bad. But it's really funny when it's like, well,
Speaker 2: I'll take ten thousand rupees off this fine if you see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: That's why.
Speaker 1: He was also just a weird guy. He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I love this singing. Beautiful. But then later another guy
Speaker 1: offers a sing sort of as a joke, and he's
Speaker 1: like really, and then they hit him. Yeah anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was so it was so gross. It was a
Speaker 1: crazy character intro but definitely got across the sky's a weirdo.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm mm hmm. Totally.
Speaker 1: Leana, you've said maybe a little earlier than this, she
Speaker 1: said a lesson and why you must tell women things?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, both wives And then it turned out
Speaker 2: only one wife, only Pool, not Jaya. Pool didn't know
Speaker 2: the name of the village she was meant to be
Speaker 2: going to with her husband with Deepak, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: you have to tell women things. This is because if
Speaker 2: you tell us things, then we will know thing we
Speaker 2: can work with that. Yeah, this her I can't do
Speaker 2: anything if I don't know anything.
Speaker 1: Her experience as a woman and a bride as like a.
Speaker 2: Child so young.
Speaker 1: She was so young.
Speaker 2: The actress is seventeen, very seventeen, which is what she looked.
Speaker 1: She looked so yeah. Yeah, but but it was all
Speaker 1: it was cute, innocent. Yeah, it was okay. But her
Speaker 1: experience like being like, what, I don't have any of
Speaker 1: the information, so I'm scared? Is how I felt. As
Speaker 1: like an intern or a PA all the time. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: someone who won't tell you anything. And then you're like,
Speaker 1: I don't have the information, so I can't make any
Speaker 1: smart decisions. I'm a smart decision maker, but you're not
Speaker 1: giving you the information, so instaid. I'm just running around
Speaker 1: the train trying to figure out where my husband went.
Speaker 1: Why would you put me in this position?
Speaker 2: Literally?
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my gosh, okay, Leanna, you've said you said
Speaker 1: the problem will sort itself out. Men. Oh when did
Speaker 1: they say that?
Speaker 2: Oh? When don't they say that? Men are always saying that?
Speaker 2: Men are always saying, Oh, I'm sure it'll be fine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because do you know why it ends up fine? Because
Speaker 2: a woman a has to get involved men sort it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah that is unfortunately incredibly true and it's devastating.
Speaker 2: But I did love that this movie recognized that and
Speaker 2: the people who save the day are women. Yes, like
Speaker 2: Jaya saves everyone's everyone's ass.
Speaker 1: That's so true.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. I love this movie. Like, no, it didn't
Speaker 2: sort itself out, Jaya fixed everything and.
Speaker 1: They get to go on their own journeys. And also
Speaker 1: I liked them. We got to go and see that
Speaker 1: they were flashbacks showing that Pool and Deepak really loved
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah that was so we're happy when they
Speaker 1: get back together.
Speaker 2: It's not just like, yeah, true, they're good.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be good partners. But she got to look
Speaker 1: she wants like a job less Yes, Leonna, you said,
Speaker 1: you said plot twist, he has legs. I gasped. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was crazy.
Speaker 2: I gasped at that reveal.
Speaker 1: So one of the friends. So one of the ways
Speaker 1: that Pool ends up like getting by when she's at
Speaker 1: the train station, she.
Speaker 2: Is so lost, Oh this poor girl.
Speaker 1: And a kind, small young man comes up to her
Speaker 1: and is like, oh my gosh, you're so lost, like
Speaker 1: I'll help you, and then he's like, here's also my
Speaker 1: pal who uses like a little cart to get around because.
Speaker 2: He fell up a train and lost his legs, lost his.
Speaker 1: Legs, but turns out his legs were just tucked into pants.
Speaker 2: Oh crazy?
Speaker 1: Were you thinking about how uncomfortable would be to be
Speaker 1: sitting on your knees like that all day?
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe he got up and was fine. I'd
Speaker 2: be so stiff even after.
Speaker 1: Just like sitting on my knees on the couch. I
Speaker 1: can't stand quite yet.
Speaker 2: My ankle fell asleep while watching this film, and I
Speaker 2: was in so much pain.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: No, I could not do a day on a cart
Speaker 2: ostensibly legless.
Speaker 1: Surprise, I have legs.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: You said, I love this sim card queen. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: where'd she get that new sim card?
Speaker 2: I have no idea, I said, slow up, I know.
Speaker 2: I loved that. I loved that we were seeing some
Speaker 2: espionage from early on. I said, oh no, this is
Speaker 2: a woman with a plan.
Speaker 1: That's what I had to call Kelsey because I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. We thought these were just two stupid women,
Speaker 1: but instead one doesn't want to be a stupid woman,
Speaker 1: and which is fine because she's seventeen. And yeah, as
Speaker 1: is explained to her, she is incredibly she was made
Speaker 1: dumb by society, which yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2: Not your fault, you're dumb. Can we for one.
Speaker 1: Second, can we for one second please talk about man Jumai.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you highlighted her life. He said, quote
Speaker 2: there's no shame in being an idiot, but being proud
Speaker 2: about it is shameful. End quote. She is my star,
Speaker 2: my hero, my mother. I loved her so much.
Speaker 1: Love, I loved her.
Speaker 2: She spends the whole film radicalizing pools against men, and
Speaker 2: I said, work, she was amazing, like against really the patriarchy.
Speaker 1: And it's true, like by the time we see inside
Speaker 1: her house and pools, like do you live alone, we
Speaker 1: realize that all the women we've seen in this film,
Speaker 1: like they're just playing such key roles in like the
Speaker 1: family space. Yeah, that they're like never just people of
Speaker 1: their own with their own space, And it is radical,
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I just spends the whole time being like, pool,
Speaker 1: you know, you're dumb, right, And it was cool how
Speaker 1: they kept being like she kept noticing that her I
Speaker 1: forget what's what the name of the young man who
Speaker 1: helps her is. But they keep comparing the fact that
Speaker 1: he knows all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, yeah, yeah, he's been getting address of
Speaker 2: a movie star.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, he knows all these things because they just
Speaker 1: like have trusted him with this information or given him
Speaker 1: this information because he's a guy, a man, and he's
Speaker 1: can like go out in the world and participate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but she's just been told how to make food and
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. Yeah, and Manjuma is like, so you
Speaker 1: know you're stupid, right, And that's fine, girl, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be rude about that, but like
Speaker 1: if you actually think that you're doing a good job,
Speaker 1: like that's embarrassing. It's so funny and awesome, and also
Speaker 1: like they're making such awesome points, like there's so much
Speaker 1: commentary commentary and I was living.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 1: Leonni, You've said gagged at a faces everything tea, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, she's in a full Nikoba when like, oh
Speaker 1: the guy is like I can't tell, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I was absolutely gagged at that.
Speaker 2: So they're going around. Deepak is going around showing everybody
Speaker 2: a photo of him and Pool from their wedding day,
Speaker 2: but Pool is wearing her veil so you can't see
Speaker 2: her face, and he's like, have you seen this woman?
Speaker 2: And everyone's like, I can't see her in that photo?
Speaker 2: How would I have seen her in real life? And
Speaker 2: one guy at a stall is like, why would you
Speaker 2: cover her face? Like a face is everything.
Speaker 1: It's like someone's whole identity.
Speaker 2: Someone's from behind him is a woman in a nicab
Speaker 2: Then she goes tea.

Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: Literally he loses his wife and he's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: beat her up when I find her because she's lost,
Speaker 1: and it's like you lost her, and then he's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well I'm bored, let's go out drinking. And he goes
Speaker 1: drinking instead of trying to find her, and then everybody's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's kind of bad news because he burned his last
Speaker 1: wife to death when she called children.
Speaker 2: There were some parts of this movie where I was like,
Speaker 2: he oh, but yeah, I mean I knew deep down
Speaker 2: that it was farce vibes and that all would be
Speaker 2: well in the end, and so I was trying to
Speaker 2: figure out how they were gonna get around it. And
Speaker 2: I was like, tell him she died. Yeah, I tell
Speaker 2: him she's dead.
Speaker 1: They made him bad enough that the cops would even
Speaker 1: be like, actually, the cops would have reason to help
Speaker 1: her because he did a cry to his last wife.

Speaker 1: closed this case, this woman can go off on her
Speaker 1: own and maybe if somebody was in this room and
Speaker 1: we saw him hit her, which you just did in
Speaker 1: front of us. But he goes to this whole reason
Speaker 1: why she should be able to go and Pretteepa is
Speaker 1: like this is nonsense. What is this nonsense? And the
Speaker 1: cop goes this nonsense is the law.
Speaker 2: Yeah ah.

Speaker 1: Yes, Oh my gosh. I was just listening to a
Speaker 1: podcast about Blue Zone maintenance Face and they were talking
Speaker 1: about like, oh, these are the cultures where people are
Speaker 1: never put in nursing homes, and a lot of those
Speaker 1: cultures it's because women just do the nursing home stuff.
Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, you're talking about because what marks
Speaker 1: like a culture that has a lot of longevity is
Speaker 1: if the men live for a long time, because men
Speaker 1: usually die earlier. And so it was like, well, the
Speaker 1: men live really long here. But it's like, yeah, because
Speaker 1: they're using the women as labor, you know, like it's
Speaker 1: like it's because of women, it's because of women. Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1: should do it or not.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't know that at all.

Speaker 2: Our next segment, Yes, this is how to pretend you've
Speaker 2: seen this film. This is for you are on your
Speaker 2: way to agriculture school.
Speaker 1: Yes, you're on the train on the way to agriculture school.
Speaker 2: Pre Deep shows up and says, hey, can I have
Speaker 2: that seat?
Speaker 1: Can I have that seat? This reminds me a lot
Speaker 1: of a movie that I saw recently that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of like stuff about girls in it, but mainly
Speaker 1: it's about this like really cool guy who ends up
Speaker 1: saving these women. He's really good at riding bikes. And
Speaker 1: also there's another guy who's a pretty bad guy, but like,
Speaker 1: I get where he's coming from in terms of burning
Speaker 1: employ alive.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And in order to get off the
Speaker 2: train without pret Deep, we are going to give you
Speaker 2: a few sentences sentences you can say to pretend you've
Speaker 2: seen the film Lapata Ladies. Oh, yes, pre Deep, I've
Speaker 2: seen Lapata Ladies, and I have to say, for centuries
Speaker 2: the women in this country have been duped. This con
Speaker 2: is also known as a respectable girl. Yes, now leave
Speaker 2: me alone. I'm not a respectable girl. I'm getting off
Speaker 2: this train without you.
Speaker 1: I'm not a respectable girl.
Speaker 2: I'm a tired woman.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yes, Pretteep, I have seen the film
Speaker 1: Lapata Ladies. Fun fact, man Jumai, the best character in
Speaker 1: movie history, was not originally part of the script. She
Speaker 1: was added much later. Oh that's surprising, because whoa, that's
Speaker 1: a character who I could see being shoehorned in. But
Speaker 1: she felt completely natural in it and felt great. And
Speaker 1: also I don't know how you could have defined Pool's
Speaker 1: experience without her being like mentored.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. I guess maybe she was just hanging out
Speaker 2: with the Ruffians your time the Ruffians. So I love
Speaker 2: that she had an an older woman mentor. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: prett Deep, I've seen Lapta Ladies, and I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: to you what Jaya said to that child in one
Speaker 2: of the scenes early in the film, what are you
Speaker 2: staring at? I love I really should be allowed to
Speaker 2: say that to children and babies. Well, I'm still mad
Speaker 2: at that baby who glared at me on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: I don't remember this.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this baby glared at me from a
Speaker 2: stroller on New Year's Eve because I bumped into my
Speaker 2: friend who was their nanny, and the baby just kept
Speaker 2: glaring at me, so then I glared back. We were
Speaker 2: just looking at each other like.
Speaker 1: That is so rude. Whoa, this is only, Yes, Deep,
Speaker 1: I have seen the film Lapta Ladies. This is the
Speaker 1: only or this is only the second movie directed by
Speaker 1: Kiran Rao Karan who directed it. The woman who directed it,
Speaker 1: that's like crazy. She literally sayd this is the best
Speaker 1: movie I've ever seen. So yes, hmmm.
Speaker 2: Per Deep, I've seen Lapata Ladies. You know, my mom
Speaker 2: tried to marry me off to you, but I said no,
Speaker 2: don't make me be part of the herd. Mother. I'm
Speaker 2: not a pack animal. I'm a woman and I'm going
Speaker 2: to agriculture school.
Speaker 1: Don't make me be part of the herd.
Speaker 2: Mother, mother. That line was great.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I forgot to give a badge for
Speaker 1: when man Jumai eats the sweet she has something to celebrate.
Speaker 1: I literally started crying.
Speaker 2: Oh what did I cry?
Speaker 1: In this movie? She finally has something to celebrate and
Speaker 1: it tastes so nice. Yes, per deep, I have seen
Speaker 1: the film. I have seen the film Lapata Ladies. The
Speaker 1: name of the ladies leading ladies are Pool and Pushpa,
Speaker 1: both are words for flower. But then it turns out
Speaker 1: that Pushpa's name is actually Jaya, which means success.
Speaker 2: Oh sligh, yeah, Oh my god. That line where the
Speaker 2: main cop says she's that woman's gonna go far and
Speaker 2: then his buddy goes, yes, sir, Darra Dune is eight
Speaker 2: hundred kilometers from here.
Speaker 1: His last thing was so delightful. That was so delightful.
Speaker 1: I love that. M hm, Well, Leana shall go on
Speaker 1: to our next segment, which is, of course, should you
Speaker 1: watch this or where we tell you if you should
Speaker 1: watch the film or if you should do anything else
Speaker 1: with your damn time? What would you say?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, yes, yes, you should watch Lapata Ladies.
