WEBVTT - Coke Zero is Cis Passing (feat. Cole Escola) 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:07.360 Well, originally they made root beer with g that was 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:23.080 that was the original recipe. I love so you dirty pop? 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.760 Do you remember that era of our lives were like 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.960 that was like I mean that it's such a catchy 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:36.440 little like dirty pop pop. Do you know that justin Timberlake? 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:41.040 Just did you know that he co wrote the I'm 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:48.159 loving it jingle? It's a good justin Timberlake. When it's right. 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:54.120 It's its royalties for every time McDonald's uses the bottle 0:00:54.160 --> 0:01:01.240 pup ba that makes me so upset. Well, you know 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.640 what also I'm loving is that we have Cole s 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:09.120 fully here today to talk about soda, which is a 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.720 very interesting topic for this podcast, and I'm as super 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.960 excited to get into a conversation literally about soda with 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.760 Cole who if you don't know who Cole is, like 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.959 you truly are are sleeping on some of them some 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:29.280 of the best culture that exists, truly. Cole is a comedian, actor, producer. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:34.319 You've seen them on Search Party, on z Way, on TikTok, 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.880 on YouTube, truly everywhere, and um, today we're gonna be 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.000 talking about our favorite carbonated beverages. We really didn't know 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.840 what to expect from this episode, and we talked about 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.160 so many things that aren't soda pop, but like, let 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.080 me tell you, this is one of my faves. Yeah, 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.200 because this is like a virgin the show where we 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.800 give yesterday's pop culture today's takes. I'm rest on you now, 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.240 I'm fran Toronto. Spot up? Do we have to pay? 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:11.440 Justin Timber? Like, now I saw Josie on the Pussycats. Finally, Yeah, 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:16.840 it's terrible. It's terrible. I'm going to kill you. I 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.800 understand why people love it, and that is not my 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.520 sense of humor. I think that the movie should have 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.200 just because you don't have a good sense of human 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.160 The movie should have just been Alan Coming and Parker Posey. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.960 And if the movie was just Alan Coming and Parker Posey, 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.840 it would have been an amazing movie. I can't do 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.800 this with you. The Pussycats are not compelling. Three of 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.440 the most uncompelling protagonists for a movie I've ever seen. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.000 I don't know how they were cast, especially the lead girl, 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.440 like she literally looks Rachel Lee Cook. She looks like nobody. 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:55.200 She looks you are you are infuriated, like a shadow 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.320 of a human being with a face like a plain 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.960 white I ke A Plate and I know that, I 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.200 know that art is subjective, but I want to I 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.600 want to objectively say that you are wrong. I'm okay. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.000 And then Josie and the Pussycuts is one of the 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.840 best movies ever made and every person in is a star. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:20.680 Let's move on from this argument and talk about something 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.799 that we both love, which is girl Girl Girl Girl Girl, Girl, 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.919 Girl Girl, which is f Y Island. Um. We for 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.240 some reason forgot to talk about it last week, even 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.960 though it was the thing that we were like the 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.960 most excited to talk about. And for anyone who doesn't know, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.160 f Boy Island is a HBO Max reality show, um 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.400 that is now in its second season. And I think 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.520 it must be said that like a show with a 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.200 title FY Island, which is a bad title for a 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.720 team hosted by Nicki Glazer. It sounds it sounds allah 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.480 milf Island, like thirty rock farce of a reality TV show, 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.120 and it kind of is. It kind of is. But 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.440 the thing is like, if you know Rose and I 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.400 you know that sometimes we like stand idiot culture and 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.560 we're like, this is so good, minions, I'm a thinking god, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:16.760 but like this is a legitimately prestigiously executed reality TV 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:22.960 show that has totally to me like blown so many 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.520 different kind of reality TV tropes out of the water 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:31.719 with crystalline jokes, an excellent conceived contestants that are mind blowing, 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:37.400 lee stupid and yet nuanced and like manipulative. The so 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.280 the format for for virgins who have not watched it 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.200 is that there are in every season, there are three 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:50.040 women who are looking for love and a group of 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.600 twenty four men who have either come to the island 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.880 as f boys who you know, only want sex and 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.720 money and nice guys who are actually king for love. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.920 And the women have to go on dates with these 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.719 guys and then at the end of every episode figure 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.640 out who they want to eliminate, and when the suitors 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.920 are eliminated, they reveal whether they're an F boy or 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.520 a nice guy. And the way the show ends is 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:18.720 that if the women pick an f boy, that man 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.200 has the ability to take the hundred thousand dollars that 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.880 is up for grabs to themselves or split it with them. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.640 But if they pick a nice guy, then they split 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.159 it and you know, like ostensibly run off into the 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.120 sunset to be in love and what's funny is like 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:39.600 the actual competitive stakes of the show are really driving, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.640 Like it's a really good engine for the show, and 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.039 at the same time, you don't really care about the 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.680 money as much as you care about like how it's 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.159 all going down, Like you know, over the course of 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.760 the show, it's not always a mystery what the status 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.040 of the competitors are. And I think what's really interesting 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.480 is watching these women, even when they're presented with the 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:07.719 cold hard evidence of their love interest being a fuck boy, 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.840 still are like, but I can fix him. It's so 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:16.120 actually like a scientific examination of the human condition and 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:21.240 our our predilection to falling in love with bad people, 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.400 like bad men, and thinking we can rehability. One thing though, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.440 that I do like about this show is that the 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.719 women are not pitted against each other and they they 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.119 each choose kind of their pool of men pretty early 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.880 on the season, so they're not competing for the same guys, 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.200 and they actually help each other out a lot. And 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.799 I also really like I think, especially in season two, 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.920 Nikki Glazer, the host, spends a lot more time with 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.479 the women and gives them advice, and there is this 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:58.400 sort of like camaraderie and like sisterhood built between them 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.200 and they help each other out, which is such a 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:06.200 nice change from most of reality data. You would think 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.880 that they would be pitted against each other, that there 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.600 would be cat fights, that they would manipulate, that the 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.360 producers manipulate them against each other. But I would say 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:20.200 that even though the Funk Boys really do have an 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.080 upper hand in the game, you can't say can't say 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:28.640 fun is so hilarious. I love that these women just 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:33.040 like really getting the trenches together, and that even though 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.239 the Funk Boys sometimes have an upper hand in the game, 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.720 the show is through production, through the way that the 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.480 game is created, through all of the jokes that the 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:49.720 host makes, is all designed to humiliate these men. It 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:57.920 is completely and devoted to showcasing the idiocy of these men, 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:04.840 their lack of basic human relational skills, and and exploiting 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.640 that for comedy. It's very men. Am I right? Did 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.280 you watch all three episodes that dropped this. I loved 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.120 when they were like, um, this is where we would 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.560 put the footage of their date, but so funny. I 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.720 also love that pretty much all of the f boys 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:27.680 are named Garrett, Jarrett, Gary, or like Jared wait friend, 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.600 are you are you an F they are a nice uh? 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.160 And if they are a nice them, I think I 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.360 have some F they tendencies. I'm not gonna lie, but 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.360 I think that anybody that knows me would probably say 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.400 IM a nice thing because I'm kind of I don't 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.800 really have game, and I feel like that is the 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.960 the kiss of death for most nice guys. As like 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.920 nice as they are, they don't have like game, you know, 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.360 and that turns the girls off. Well, Rose, what do 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.880 you consider yourself? Do you consider yourself an F girl? 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.440 I'm an F girl? I mean, I know you're an 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.680 F girl, as if I needed to ask a girl. Um, 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.040 so who are you rooting for for this season? I 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.200 don't care. It's not about that for me, I don't 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:12.839 like the truly answer was the Italian stallion Danny. Okay, 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:19.320 it's Danny for me. Danny has bad hair and the 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:24.680 facial hair and terrible facial hair, and still and still 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.480 he is so sexy to me, and I think that 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:32.559 is a techn it disgusting. I was really fix him. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.880 That is the basis statement of the show. I could 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.880 fix him. Um, what else have you been watching this weekend? 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.760 I haven't really been watching a lot of TV. I 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.400 did read a book this weekend that I really liked. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:54.200 It's called Her Majesty's Royal Coven. It's by Juno Dawson, 0:09:54.880 --> 0:10:00.839 who is a British author, and it's an urban fantasy 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.680 about this group of witches who were like friends and 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.520 childhood and now they're like kind of coming back together 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.080 in their thirties. And it examines the idea of in 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:16.840 a world where women are witches and men are warlocks 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.320 and they're sort of like a power and balance between them, 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:24.400 what happens when there are trans witches, which is I 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.760 think really interesting for a fantasy novel to examine. It's 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.760 also like very funny and very like there are so 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.880 many like really obvious references to things like Buffy and Charmed, 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.440 But I want to I want to read. It's really good. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.520 I I read it in a weekend. It was a 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.320 really quick read. It's going to be a trilogy. The 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:49.240 book ends on this like insane cliffhanger. It's also it 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.520 deals a lot in turfi Ism and the villain of 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.120 the book is a turf and it's it's so cool 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.960 to see this like very real war old evil turned 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:08.160 into this very fantastical evil. Um, and the book is 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.240 very much I think because Juno is a trans author 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.920 in the UK, like it very much reads as a 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:20.280 kind of direct response to J. K. Rowling's disgusting terfism, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:26.040 and I really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend it. Um. Wait, 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:31.400 so you saw Thor and have now watched You've now 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:36.040 gone backwards and watched the first couple Thor movies. Um, 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.960 so I'm very interested to hear what you thought of them. Yes, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.960 I watched the first and half of the second because 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.320 I think the second one is like I think most 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.480 people say that that's like the worst one. I decided 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.480 to watch them, honestly, Rose because you said you kind 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.240 of preferred that that style to take a a t 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.320 d S takeover, and I knew that I was going 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.480 to like Tagas movies more. But like I loved the 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.319 first Thor movie and I thought it was so I mean, 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:08.200 I love that the lore of Thor and everything around 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.520 Asgard is very like Lord of the Rings, like very Rivendell, 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.679 And I like that there is a kind of medieval 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.400 energy that pumps through the first two movies in a 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.400 way that has kind of taken away from us in 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:28.440 the tycha iteration of it. Obviously, I'll always want like 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.400 kind of comedy and reality and things that are based 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.240 more in like like the humans of And something that 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.600 I really appreciate about the most recent two movies is 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:46.120 that like Thor becomes someone who's in you know what 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.000 I mean, Like Thor is sensitive, like a kind of 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.800 weird baby. Um. I think that it's really cool that 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.560 there's this like quintessential character flaw of him being like 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.600 toxically masculine in the first movie that has like really 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.520 brought him to such a full character arc um in 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.439 so many different ways, to be a much more self 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.679 realized person who maybe you know it, is proud of 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.839 his emotions and sensitivity sometimes Or isn't afraid to love 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.680 and and um and still makes mistakes, but at least 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.240 he's doing with better intentions and thinking of other people 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.240 and stuff like that. I don't know, there's a lot 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.319 about the growth of it that I appreciated. And you know, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.800 even though that these four films that divided by two 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.040 are very separate, I still felt like the arc was 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.560 great um And I think Thor is honestly one of 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.559 my favorite franchises. Did you notice that in the first 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.920 movie his they bleached his beard and eyebrows and it 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:52.760 was so weird, so weird. I was like, why, I 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.280 I really failed to understand, Like, does Thor really have 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:01.280 to be canonically arian blonde like so much that they 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.839 needed to bleach his brows and beard like it looked 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.559 so fake. I just like I could not like it. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.680 It was just not the t um But I but, 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.880 I mean, I'm so glad they fixed his wig and 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.360 got him together for these most recent wait we both 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.600 saw um Love and Thunder. Yeah. I I agree that 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:25.040 the movie. The Thor films have definitely evolved a lot. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.360 I like what they've evolved into, but I, as you said, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.960 I do kind of prefer the vibe of the earlier movies. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.840 I mean, can we talk about the fact that, like 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.800 we were told this is what this was going to be, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.040 like some super gay movie, and it was that it 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.320 was nothing of the sort. It was nothing of this sort. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.880 And you would think that when we see this promotional 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:52.440 image of Tessa Thompson Natalie Portman with their arms looking 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:56.840 like that, their arms girl like the and they're not 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.840 going to give us even an inkling that maybe they're 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.200 gonna hook up like that was so and Natalie it 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:09.160 was actually overwhelmingly hetero. It was overwhelmingly heterosexual. There was 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.360 like a brief moment at the beginning where this character 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.080 named Axel could maybe be considered trans or they're teeing 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.560 it up to maybe be a trans character in the future, 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.320 which I don't even want to get into because it's 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:26.000 so conspiratorial and that's exactly what they want us to do. Um. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:30.160 There was a brief moment where Tessa Thompson's character Valkyrie 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:35.320 talks about her ex girlfriend and then what the rock 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.080 guy says that he has to dads, I was like, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.320 fuck off. And then he does get a boyfriend at 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.560 the end. Yeah, yeah, that was fine. But it's like, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.480 I don't care about the fucking rock guy. That's not 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:49.880 queer representation. He's a rock, He's a Rocks are part 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:54.600 of the community. Okay, part of the plus if everything, 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.880 I mean, did we learn nothing from everything? Just about 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:04.240 to say Phoebe said, please don't erase my eco sexual 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:10.160 ideait I'm sure, Um, Rose, I just I know you 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:13.080 and I already discussed this off Mike, But like we 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.960 have to say on the record that Natalie Portman's wig 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:23.240 rotted absolutely. I mean, she phoned this movie in. They 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.280 gave her a billion dollars and she said, I'm going 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.680 to give you the stupidest ship you've ever seen, and yeah, 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.920 you can put this Amazon shake and go. I don't know. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.880 I think her acting. I think her acting was exactly 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:42.000 as good as the movie Um deserved, you know, actually, 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.560 I mean it was. It was funny, it was actually 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.200 very interesting. It was a stark contrast to watch the 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.440 first movie after because she is her and Thor are 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.440 so much more totally grounded and it's a it's a 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.680 true romance most of the time, and the stakes are 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.040 much higher and then not really had to pivot to 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:05.920 being Taikawait absurd Um. And I don't know, I thought 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.760 the plotting was just like very lazy throughout and that 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.840 all the performances suffered through that. And I also just 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.159 wanted way more Tessa Thompson. Why didn't she get to 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.080 keep the Thunderbowl? Like why did she have to give 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.040 that up? I was like, that's like, I was like, 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:26.080 that's a perfect weapon for her to have now. And 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.439 I don't know, I thought Christian Bale was just Voldemorre. Oh. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.440 I thought Christian Bale was actually the best part of 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.080 the movie. I thought he was. I thought he was 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.639 legitimately scary. I mean, I don't even want to give 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.560 him flowers. I thought it. I just thought that the 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.080 conceit of the villain was to Baltimore and I was, 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.439 I just I couldn't. I was certainly the look of 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.280 the villain was very Voldemore. The look of the villain 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.959 was extremely Voldemore. I thought that like a kind of 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.080 necromancer shadow dweller thing. I was, like, that just feels 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.920 Lord of the ringsy Voldemort. Well, I mean, everything is drive, 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.680 But I think this is this is a movie that's 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.000 a It's literally about bringing all these you know, gods 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.199 from different pantheon's together. It's like the most derivative it 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.960 possibly could be, which I thought was on the writing level, 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.080 really fun. There's this scene where all the gods they 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.600 go to like a god convention essentially, or like a 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.679 meeting of all the gods, Greek gods, Norse gods, like 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.639 God's from all over and um. And I thought that 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.159 that was like I laughed throughout and it was. It 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:30.960 was one of the better parts of the movie. I 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.040 think don't need to see Russell Crowe and the m 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.320 see you though, Like my fucking god. But you know, 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:41.119 the movie is fine. The movie is really fine. I 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.200 mostly like just kind of don't think we need more 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.840 Thor movies. And I wonder if there's going to be 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.400 another one, because you know, Comic Con was this weekend 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.160 and they announced like the next two phases of Marvel, 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.120 and it doesn't look like there's another Thor movie coming 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:02.639 anytime soon, although I'm sure he'll show up in other stuff, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:07.520 like the two Avengers movies that are coming out. God, 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.960 I am so I'm fatigued just hearing the announcement of 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.200 two more Avengers. But I'm so excited for Agatha Coven 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:20.120 of Chaos obviously. I'm also excited for Echo, this kind 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.920 of indigenous story that we're getting. Oh did you watch 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.840 the Black Panther trailer? No? Was it good? Oh my god, girl, 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.480 It's like it was very emotional. Oh my god, I 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:36.840 have goosebumps even and Angela Bassett was eating Oh my god. 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.280 I mean, that's one of my favorite Marvel films ever. 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.840 I actually need to rewatch tbh um. Speaking of Angela Bassett, 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.600 this is a nice segue into talking about Nope, because 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.159 did you see the incredible impression of Angela Bassett that 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.919 Kiki Palmer did as part of her Nope press tour. No, 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.720 I haven't, and I haven't seen Nope either. You have 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.000 to check it out. Well, I want I'll talk about 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.360 Nope briefly because I'm sure once you see it will 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:05.000 do like a more deep dive discussion. But what I'll say, 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.520 and I'm still kind of like formulating my thoughts about Nope, 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.919 but it was a very different movie than I was 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:16.120 expecting it to be. It was much more thoughtful. It's 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:20.199 still like, you know, a big summer action blockbuster, but 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:24.600 like much more heady than I was expecting. And if 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:30.240 you're like kind of placing it in the pantheon of 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:38.440 horror sci fi action films, it's much closer to Arrival 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.719 than it is to Independence Day. If that's like the 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:46.240 spectrum that I'm creating for for where those kind of 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:50.200 sci fi movies can be. And it's not scary, right, 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.359 I didn't think it was very scary, But what I'm saying, 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.800 it's like it's much more hetty and thoughtful and like 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.320 introspective and like is really trying to say some thing 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:06.160 about I think like celebrity and surveillance culture. Um. But 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:08.840 you know, well, I won't spoil anything. We'll talk about 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:12.040 it more once you've seen it. But KICKI Palmer is 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:17.600 such a star, um, and she is incredible in this film. 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:21.000 I liked it much more than Us, which I did 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:25.160 not really love. I loved Us. I felt like it's 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:29.520 such a difficult, like sophomore follow up to the masterpiece 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.840 that is Get Out with Note. I'm I'm really excited 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:35.800 to see it, um, but I want to keep my 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.320 hopes low. As a huge Jordan Peel stand like I, 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.320 I'm just like every I just wish he would just 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:43.320 make more. I want like more and more and more 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.480 from No. I think I think it's good for him 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.840 to I think quality control is very important and that's 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.520 and that's what keeps him as you know, he really 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.840 is now a must see director. Like when I saw 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.040 the movie on a Saturday afternoon, it was packed and 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:16.639 his films are no event event movie is I was 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:20.520 not allowed to drink soda and or pop um when 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.879 I was a kid. We were a healthy household. Yes, 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.520 so you you call it pop? So did you grow 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:30.720 up in the PMW, the Pacific Northwest, and we call 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:33.719 it pop. We call it pop. But in other places, 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:38.120 can you break down the soda slash pop dichotomy? If 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.720 not binary, I don't know where. I don't know where 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.040 the line is. I don't know if it's the Mississippi 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.440 or dialectical. I mean, I know in the South they 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.520 call it it's all coke. It's all coke, right, it's 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:53.000 even pepsi as coke. Yeah, and even seven up is coke, 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.600 Like what kind of coke you want? Yeah? Because what 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:57.440 kind of coke you want? And then some people say 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:02.480 cola like put my as he tastes like pepsicola exactly 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.520 is already famously said. But you fall on the pop 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:10.200 lines pop. But I wanted to be not from where 0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:13.480 I was from, so I called it soda as like 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.480 a kind of sort of like, I'm not like you all, 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:20.680 not like other girls. I'm not like other girls. So 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:24.520 I have to know why is soda or pops so 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:27.480 important to you? It's well, I mean it says so. 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:31.400 I mean, already we know now that Fran was parented, Yes, 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:36.040 because of pop a k A soda. It was that dangerous, 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.239 It was that and like what did you grow up 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:43.080 drinking pop? Like what kind of soda was? Yeah? I did, 0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:46.320 but it was restricted. So um, you know when I 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.840 was a teenager, only diet sodas were kept in the house. 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:55.119 My mom was very like health conscious. Um my grand 0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.480 and you know what, I guess I do know what 0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:03.399 kind of soda every person in my life prefers, you know, 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.800 like I know my grandma will only drink like caffeine 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:11.960 free diet coke, the caffeine free that nice pretty gold can. Yeah. 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.679 I mean I'm a coke girl unless I'm on an 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:16.840 airplane and then it's ginger ale all the way. I 0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.920 don't know why ginger ale tastes better in the air, 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:24.840 but it does well. They say that like, um, it's 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.919 like the bubbles, like when you order diet coke on 0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.199 an airplane that, um, it takes a long time for 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:33.439 the bubbles to go down, like in the air for 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.880 some reason. So it's one of those days harbonated longer. 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.040 But it's one of those things that flight attendants hate 0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:40.760 it when you order diet coke because they pour it 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:42.359 and then they have to stand there and wait for 0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:47.679 the like the foam to go like like another diet coke. 0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:51.040 I had a flight attendant on my flight here. She 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:53.560 I slept for like most of the flight, but I 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:55.639 did wake up when the beverage cart came around and 0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.120 she bent down to be like, anything for you, sweetie, 0:24:58.200 --> 0:24:59.720 and I you know, I was wearing a mask and 0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:01.880 I and I gave it for you. By the way, 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.440 I said, UM, can I have some apple juice please? 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:08.240 Because that's like that might go to flight beverages or 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:12.240 apple juice or ginger app if I'm flying economy. That 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.639 is that's very like tummy safe. Yeah, it is, um, 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:18.040
