Speaker 1: anything about movies. Today we're watching Brave.
Speaker 3: It's not my fault.

Speaker 1: I just wanted her to change you.
Speaker 2: Brave and then just blare some blasting bagpipes.
Speaker 1: This twenty twelve Pixar film Okay that I looked up
Speaker 1: a little bit about it sounds like it was horrified
Speaker 1: by so many things.
Speaker 2: God, oh my god. Oh no, oh my god.
Speaker 1: No, it's okay because it's lace.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It's just like pix.

Speaker 1: Scottish for Scotland. Leanna, should we do our predictions first? Yea,
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear your prediction.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, of course, absolutely remember it and know what
Speaker 2: I said.
Speaker 3: Hi, Sianna, it's Leanna. I'm about to watch Breathe. I'll

Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Leanna, Yes, thank you your prediction. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Hi Leanna, this is Sienna. I'm about to watch Brave.
Speaker 1: I predict. I remember this having a plot that is
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit confusing. So I believe Mereda
Speaker 1: is going to she like fights with her mom and
Speaker 1: she has like two twin brothers, and like there's a
Speaker 1: lot about her mom and maybe there's like fairies or
Speaker 1: question Mark and then she goes like a little room
Speaker 1: in the woods, and she also is like doing an
Speaker 1: archery competition and she's supposed to get married, and also
Speaker 1: her mom becomes a bear and her brothers become bears too,
Speaker 1: and it's like her fault. But am I missing an
Speaker 1: entire plot point there? Because there's like thing's going on
Speaker 1: I remember. But either way, we're gonna have some mother
Speaker 1: daughter stuff going on, schooland schootland and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for it. I haven't seen it in
Speaker 1: a really long time. But I love that girl, Okay,
Speaker 1: I love you, goodbye. I guess I completely remembered it.
Speaker 2: I can't believe how well you remembered all of that,
Speaker 2: all of that.
Speaker 1: I how was that since twenty twelve? For sure?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Even the little room in the woods
Speaker 2: what Yeah, I don't know, geez.
Speaker 1: It must have been all the curly hair in this
Speaker 1: It imprinted on my brain.
Speaker 2: Representation mattered, Yeah, it really does. You see yourself on screen?
Speaker 2: You remember the full.
Speaker 1: Plot well before we start talking about it, because I
Speaker 1: would love to hear what Eliza thought. Mmmmm, Mordu Leanna Hagar.
Speaker 2: Anyway, hey girl, it's the new don k. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 2: we got another one.
Speaker 1: It's the what's it called? The you know when you
Speaker 1: like hit a ball to follow.
Speaker 2: Through swing in a miss.
Speaker 1: No, I'm literally talking about follow through the.
Speaker 2: O with your or when you running to the base.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, follow through. I'm talking about the concept
Speaker 1: of follow through, like if you hit a ball, you
Speaker 1: need to, like pitching, hit all the way follow through. No no, no, no, no, okay,
Speaker 1: specifically following through, which is true in many many sports.
Speaker 1: I'd say volleyball follow through.
Speaker 2: Oh That's why I could never serve. I could never
Speaker 2: do an overhead serve because my arms just were like,
Speaker 2: what do you mean you're supposed to I'm done?
Speaker 1: Follow all the way? Follow through anyway. You have incredible
Speaker 1: follow through with saying Mardu.
Speaker 2: Mardu, thank you. I love saying it. I think it's
Speaker 2: so fun to say.
Speaker 1: It is so fun to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And man, it is not spelled how you would think.
Speaker 1: No. I looked it up and I was like, that's
Speaker 1: not what I've been saying. I was sure there was
Speaker 1: an N at the end too. I thought it was
Speaker 1: mar my gosh, mar Dune.
Speaker 2: Yeah. A note for next film, they can maybe put
Speaker 2: an N on there. No worries.
Speaker 1: So Leanna hay girl, Hey girl girl, how you doing
Speaker 1: I saw tell us about it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I have my cowboy hat right here. I'll put
Speaker 2: it on for this spit. Oh, it won't go over
Speaker 2: my headphones. It is put on sideway.
Speaker 1: Very funny to me that you have reported to me
Speaker 1: that it's really heavy, because it looks like it. Looking
Speaker 1: at it, it makes so much sense that it could
Speaker 1: be heavy, but you would assume that it's not, just
Speaker 1: because they would make it in a way that wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Be I thought so too, But no, I was wrong.
Speaker 1: It's so as hell beautiful.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. I love it so much. It's my
Speaker 2: prize possession. I want to put it on my wall. Beyonce,
Speaker 2: that concert was the best thing I've ever seen in
Speaker 2: my life.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: I cried three times. She is stronger than my antidepressants,
Speaker 2: because you know, I'm not crying on these things, despite
Speaker 2: wanting too often. It was three hours long. She was
Speaker 2: performing for three hours. Wow, the stamina. I was tired,
Speaker 2: and I was just in the audience and I was
Speaker 2: My little knees were so sleepy, my sleepy knees. I
Speaker 2: had sleepy ees by the end of it. We are
Speaker 2: so lucky it. Trixie Mattel said about it that it's
Speaker 2: the first thing in a very long time that's made
Speaker 2: her feel proud to be an American. I was thinking
Speaker 2: of this too when you told me about this. Oh,
Speaker 2: I saw Tricksie talk about that. Wow, it was really emotional.
Speaker 2: It's emotional in terms of like her daughters are performing
Speaker 2: on stage, like Blue Ivy is out there absolutely frickin'
Speaker 2: slaying it with the choreography multiple times. Then her younger
Speaker 2: one Roomy, who's a twin, comes out during the song Protector,
Speaker 2: which is very much about being very parental towards someone
Speaker 2: protecting them and it's so freaking sweet. So that was
Speaker 2: very emotional. But then also it was so emotional in
Speaker 2: terms of so the Have you listened to the album
Speaker 2: at all, Cowboy Card.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, I listened to it when it came out, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: So the first song is called American Requiem Hello, and
Speaker 2: then the end song is called Amen, and oh my god,
Speaker 2: I have goosebumps just thinking about it again. That was
Speaker 2: the last song that she performed, and I was sobing, And.
Speaker 1: All of her.
Speaker 2: Dancers had that their costumes for that number somehow incorporated
Speaker 2: the American flag. So to see that imagery like a
Speaker 2: mostly black, almost entirely POC core of dancers wearing the
Speaker 2: American flag and singing this song whose refrain is Mercy
Speaker 2: on Me, Baby, Have Mercy on Me. It was so
Speaker 2: emotional because it feels so very like what America could be,
Speaker 2: and you can't but think about what America is now.
Speaker 2: So that was the day I saw the day that
Speaker 2: Trump sent the National Guard to Los Angeles. So it
Speaker 2: was just so so emotional. And then I yelled at
Speaker 2: a colleague at nine point thirty in the morning on
Speaker 2: Tuesday who tried to say, oh, isn't it isn't the
Speaker 2: concert isn't the tour being labeled to flop? And I
Speaker 2: hadn't spoken all morning, and I was behind my computer
Speaker 2: in the corner, and I said out loud, oh my god,
Speaker 2: shut up, Dan. And then he said, oh, but I
Speaker 2: was reading in the daily Mail, and I was like,
Speaker 2: the daily Mail read either to respect you or not.
Speaker 2: And then it is really really quiet in the office
Speaker 2: for like ten minutes.
Speaker 1: I know you were you were brave.
Speaker 2: That was brave.
Speaker 1: I was being brave. That is amazing. Yeah, it's such
Speaker 1: an emotional time to be an American right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, girl, I mean you don't have to hate
Speaker 2: girl about that specifically, but hey, girl, go into protest tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I'm follow through in it to you. Yeah, no, King's baby,
Speaker 2: let's go.
Speaker 1: Hey girl, Well i'll see, I'll just I'll just this
Speaker 1: is completely unrelated to that. Yes, it's been that's fine,
Speaker 1: a wild time in La, very very emotional and upsetting.
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't been facing the brunt of anything
Speaker 1: obviously personally, but like, yeah, lots of Like my friend,
Speaker 1: her they're meeting was canceled because her coworker was afraid
Speaker 1: for his parents, so he wanted to go home and
Speaker 1: just be with them. Yeah, it's really terrifying. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like so so it's so sad, dude. I
Speaker 1: heard a radio ad yesterday that made me, actually it
Speaker 1: made my jaw drop because I don't normally listen to
Speaker 1: the radio, but I was using I was taking my
Speaker 1: brother my brother's car, and I didn't know how to
Speaker 1: listen to any music and my phone was doing so
Speaker 1: of course, of course, so I changed. I couldn't even
Speaker 1: figure out how to like change to a channel that
Speaker 1: I liked, and I ended up on like a random
Speaker 1: one that I guess is like if not a Conservative
Speaker 1: Channel then like politically unaligned, but it was a message
Speaker 1: from Homeland Security and it was literally threatening, threatening people
Speaker 1: who live here. I mean it was like Jesus. They
Speaker 1: literally said, if you are here in this country undocumented,
Speaker 1: you're next. Oh my god and my jaw. I mean,
Speaker 1: like it is just I know, so much of our
Speaker 1: experience this year with Trump and presidency is like shock
Speaker 1: and awe. He's obviously following a blueprint of an authoritarian regime.
Speaker 1: He wants to just like copy all the stuff that
Speaker 1: all the horrible guys have done through history so he
Speaker 1: can have ultimate power because he thinks it's funny and
Speaker 1: he's like a sick person, and he's in charge tearing
Speaker 1: our country apart through the like already the weak systems
Speaker 1: that we had set up. He's just like tearing it apart.
Speaker 1: But to hear a government agency literally threaten people, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not even like wow, that's the next level, because
Speaker 1: I know we've been on that level. But it was
Speaker 1: really clarifying for me. I mean it was just like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is not all the times when we were mad
Speaker 1: at Republicans before, you know where it's like George Bush,
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney blah, blah blah blah blah. Yeah, threatening people
Speaker 1: like you're talking to families and people working here, like
Speaker 1: they made up this idea of this this concept, this
Speaker 1: like type of a person who who doesn't exist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is like I mean, I just watching them skate
Speaker 1: go a person a type of people and then threaten
Speaker 1: them publicly. Yeah, anyway, clearly it's so upsetting. But what
Speaker 1: I was gonna share for haygirl is that I bought
Speaker 1: a really big bag of dried percentence.
Speaker 2: A to be a woman, to perform.
Speaker 1: There is just so much happening.
Speaker 2: Those are those like tomatoe things, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I discovered them and call it and I
Speaker 1: was like a new fruit. I had no idea.
Speaker 2: You gave me one once. I hated it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody hates that. I love really for you. And
Speaker 1: I ordered a big bag. Okay, Unfortunately I ordered from Amazon.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I haven't bought anything from Amazon in
Speaker 1: like two years. And I went, I had to buy,
Speaker 1: so I had to buy a I really needed a
Speaker 1: new we need a new tamper for our blender because
Speaker 1: my roommate broke it, all right, and I could only
Speaker 1: find it on Amazon, and so I went, well, while
Speaker 1: I'm here, maybe I'll give myself hey a treat. And
Speaker 1: what I ended up perceiving was like a two pound bag,
Speaker 1: so it's so big.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyway, thank you everybody for listening. Things are dark.
Speaker 1: Everybody keep fighting distraction. Distraction. Distraction is important. I think
Speaker 1: the energy that we put out in the world actually
Speaker 1: has a huge effect on things. Being upset and and
Speaker 1: and saying things and fighting back is significant. So hmm, anyway,
Speaker 1: there definitely it's like la is like fuck no, fuck no,
Speaker 1: get out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this city. Have you been completely built on Mexican
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I mean it literally Mexicans crazy.
Speaker 2: This is this whole country's whole thing. This is the
Speaker 2: only thing that America has to go back on. That's good.
Speaker 2: That's like, hey, we're like scrappy, like ignore the genocide
Speaker 2: and the slavery that like, we're a bunch of immigrants
Speaker 2: came here and like pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps.
Speaker 1: What our pr is insane because we managed to say,
Speaker 1: like we all came here, we immigrated here, and that's
Speaker 1: why it's an amazing country. It's like, well, we stole
Speaker 1: this land completely and hurt people to be living here
Speaker 1: as we are. But okay, you just want to talk
Speaker 1: about that. Okay, then let's do the immigrant thing. And
Speaker 1: now they're like, yeah, by the way, immigrant immigrant, we're
Speaker 1: gonna kill you. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: The cognitive dissonance is banooners.
Speaker 1: They're trying to they're trying to make us forget. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's really like, yeah, oh, I did see a flop
Speaker 1: of a post that's going around that I saw at
Speaker 1: least one person post don't repost this. Someone posted it
Speaker 1: was one of these like it was beautifully drawn, like
Speaker 1: a graphic that said it said like I would rather
Speaker 1: be in a room with one hundred immigrants than one
Speaker 1: ICE agent. Like duh, that is not something that you
Speaker 1: should post what I would rather. I would rather be
Speaker 1: around civilian people than.
Speaker 2: One armed, insane, brainwashed military.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like yeah, dude.
Speaker 2: That's that's how everybody feels.
Speaker 1: This is that is one of the comical things that
Speaker 1: happens in this time of like really really like we're
Speaker 1: all just like trying to trying to again put that
Speaker 1: energy out there, put the we know that injustice is
Speaker 1: going on, So sometimes things can float around that are
Speaker 1: like no, wait, wait, wait, wait wait, wait, wait, yeah,
Speaker 1: that happened the day you think it means, or you're
Speaker 1: not you're not saying what you think you're saying that
Speaker 1: the thing, let's say.
Speaker 2: During the Black Lives Matter protests in twenty twenty, a
Speaker 2: lot of people they were trying to say, like, if
Speaker 2: you see injustice, you have to speak up and speak
Speaker 2: out about it and bring attention to it. But what
Speaker 2: they ended up saying was silence is consent, and all
Speaker 2: of us were like, well, whoa, hey, that's actually conflicting
Speaker 2: messaging with a whole other thing that we've been doing.
Speaker 1: You can't say that silence is consent. No no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, that's gonna fall on the wrong years
Speaker 2: this interpret that the graph. Don't really post that, girly.
Speaker 1: It's okay, I'm gonna take a graphic. Mama, we love you.
Speaker 1: Take it down.
Speaker 2: You had the chance to add your break, would you.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, all right. Well, well political commentary, yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and gio political commentary, let's do a hard turn.
Speaker 1: This is good. I think that this this you know,
Speaker 1: our podcast is a place where we can Our podcast
Speaker 1: is a place. Our podcast is a place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like that T shirt, those T shirts that
Speaker 2: are all like, this must be the place. Our podcast
Speaker 2: is a place. This is certainly a place. Thank you
Speaker 2: everyone for coming to a place the Ganda. Let's talk
Speaker 2: about Brave Sienna. You kind of already did in your
Speaker 2: gorgeous prediction, but please, would you give again a synopsis?
Speaker 1: The Brave forgot? Yeah, let me just find where it
Speaker 1: is for forgat a cake, Brave made Deaths. Mereda doesn't
Speaker 1: want to do princess e duties. She wants to run
Speaker 1: around in the river and stuff. She doesn't want to
Speaker 1: do these princessly things, let alone get married to a
Speaker 1: boy she's never met. When three neighboring kingdoms bring their
Speaker 1: awful sons to compete for her hand in marriage a,
Speaker 1: Mereda is furious, especially at her mom, who she wishes
Speaker 1: would just listen. Through a series of magical events, she
Speaker 1: turns her mom into a bear, and they have to
Speaker 1: figure out how to break the spell. During this time, though,
Speaker 1: her mom learns how to be a little more wild
Speaker 1: like her daughter, and Mereda learns how to be less
Speaker 1: selfish and honestly do her homework to be more responsible.
Speaker 1: There's also this thing about the myth of Mordeu Mardu
Speaker 1: big ghostly bear, big ghostly bear who ate bears his
Speaker 1: dad's foot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a there's a b plot.
Speaker 1: There's a bee plot where a bear in her dad's foot.
Speaker 1: There's a thing where her a bear ate her.
Speaker 2: Just a bear, a big ghostly bear, the bear, you
Speaker 2: might say, the bear, the ultimate bear. Yeah. Bear.
Speaker 1: Turns out Mardeux is part of the same like family
Speaker 1: spell situated, like a when a family goes wrong and
Speaker 1: things get split, that someone's gonna turn into a bear.
Speaker 2: That's the prophecy.
Speaker 1: Her mom almost turns into a real bear. There are
Speaker 1: some scares there, but she turns back into a woman.
Speaker 1: Yea the end, and it's be they learned to break tradition.
Speaker 2: Yes, o Hern notes, Yes, this is the segment of
Speaker 2: the podcast where we read the notes that the other
Speaker 2: person took on their phone while watching the film. Your
Speaker 2: first note is this is your life minus the heaping
Speaker 2: stacks of meat. I was gonna ask if you felt
Speaker 2: connected to the culture, because I was like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, work, work, work, anything that's sort of like the Celtic. Yes,
Speaker 1: the old timey red, the ancient red hair that came
Speaker 1: that brought us here my yeah, my fore mothers. But
Speaker 1: then they were eating only meat like.
Speaker 2: Hey, but also pastries. True, true, she only had pastries
Speaker 2: and that's very Yes. Yeah, there's the Celtic music and
Speaker 2: the Celtic not work, specifically because Irish dance dresses growing
Speaker 2: up often the traditional team dresses incorporated. Celtic not work.
Speaker 1: Not work.
Speaker 2: Okay, Celtic not work. I'm sorry for my addiction.
Speaker 1: It's not you. It's just it's it's it's it's it's
Speaker 1: a tongue twist.
Speaker 2: Celtic not work.
Speaker 1: Lela. You said, my body goals are Willow, the wisp.
Speaker 1: You mean the little the little floating blue, that little
Speaker 1: blue floating thing that just goes ah. That is so
Speaker 1: u core. I just want to be a wisp. I
Speaker 1: want to be a gasp of air. I want for
Speaker 1: once to experience being a skinny legend. And I know
Speaker 1: it's not in the cards genetically, I do know that,
Speaker 1: but I'd love for one day to just be the
Speaker 1: skinniest little bit and be out in the forest like
Speaker 1: I like, I loved her princess vibe, the idea that
Speaker 1: this kid I love her, the princess thing, like I
Speaker 1: love her so much. A lot of times, and it
Speaker 1: sucks that, you know, she's supposed to get married at
Speaker 1: like thirteen years old to some random.
Speaker 2: We do forget that, but we do forget she's probably thirteen.
Speaker 1: A lot of princess uh films, they're kind of like
Speaker 1: shutting the tower or they have to do all the
Speaker 1: boring stuff. She lives like in a really grassy area,
Speaker 1: and there's not that much she's supposed to learn to
Speaker 1: like sew and stuff, but like you know, she basically
Speaker 1: gets to have a leisurely life where she gets to
Speaker 1: like explore nature and she has a big horse. It
Speaker 1: just seems like the best place to be a princess. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is an era where I would love that.
Speaker 1: That would mean because because your life would be so
Speaker 1: much better than everybody.
Speaker 2: That's true, and it's also so remote that, yes, you
Speaker 2: can't get bothered that often exactly.
Speaker 1: That's a big part of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, when you do get bothered, I guess it's
Speaker 2: like the most violent it could be, right, And that's
Speaker 2: kind of like what Game of Thrones is, right, right,
Speaker 2: But in the interim Princess as a princess sip a waterfall.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I enjoyed it so much. It was so pleasant,
Speaker 1: it was so smart, so honest.
Speaker 2: I'm so intrigued by your use of the adjective pleasant.
Speaker 2: I found it because I was in distress for an
Speaker 2: hour and a half.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that bear is so cute and so worried
Speaker 2: for like fifty minutes or longer. She is really worried,
Speaker 2: and it's really hard to see an animal be in distress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an animal, that's true. It is, I guess
Speaker 1: because I knew how it was such a cute bear.
Speaker 1: She is a cute bear.
Speaker 2: I did also, I literally during the movie had to
Speaker 2: keep saying to myself, it's gonna be okay. Also because
Speaker 2: Eliza was seeing it for the first time, so they
Speaker 2: were just stressed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's such a cute bear and so slick.
Speaker 2: Very she's so demure. She's the most demure little bear.
Speaker 2: I love her so much. She's so big and so polite.
Speaker 1: She's a representation for tall women everywhere because.
Speaker 2: She's a big, huge woman.
Speaker 1: She's knocking things over. But she's also very.
Speaker 2: Like sorry, sorry, ooopsie.
Speaker 1: She's a dainty giant. Yeah, Leanna, you said, Sienna, what
Speaker 1: Highland Games event do you think you'd be good at. Okay,
Speaker 1: what are the options?
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this, let's look it up.
Speaker 2: I know it's like throwing a log, archery, kind of
Speaker 2: tug of war, throwing a weight over a stick, the
Speaker 2: kind of kind of Highland Games event minus yeah, cultural performances. Okay,
Speaker 2: a caber toss. That's throwing a log, caber, anything regular
Speaker 2: cab in the caber hammer throw similar to as it
Speaker 2: is in the Olympics events. You better work wait for height.
Speaker 2: That's the one where you have a big weight and
Speaker 2: you throw it and it's supposed to go. It's basically
Speaker 2: like doing a pole vault instead of you yep, tug
Speaker 2: a war.
Speaker 1: Oh you're throwing not just a log, that's like a
Speaker 1: big stick. That's like a it's a trunk, a trunk,
Speaker 1: a full trunk. That's a whole tree.
Speaker 2: Throw in a trunk for sure. Yeah, So which one
Speaker 2: do you think you'd be best at?
Speaker 1: Humans are so funny and cute, Like what.
Speaker 2: I know, it's so important to not have anything to
Speaker 2: do because then you invent the Highland Games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your arrow and you have sticks and kegs and
Speaker 1: rocks and you're like, Okay, I'm gonna see if I
Speaker 1: can throw mind the furthest but let's make it a whole.
Speaker 2: Thing stick, yeah, which meant would you register for?
Speaker 1: So a lot of these is are strength based. In fact,
Speaker 1: all of them, I'd say, hmm, I'd say either the
Speaker 1: shot put or the keg toss m because I could
Speaker 1: wind myself around a little bit and I'd think that
Speaker 1: I could get my core into a place where I
Speaker 1: could do something nice. What about you?
Speaker 2: I would submit myself as one of the highland cows.
Speaker 2: What that was an option for judging.
Speaker 1: I'm obviously not strong.
Speaker 2: Enough to do any of these because we've got similar fringe,
Speaker 2: similar bangs. And then go by and you moo, hello moon.
Speaker 1: Move all summersalt Wait sorry hello, oh no, that's summerset Leanna.
Speaker 1: You said insane to slice the tapestry. But also so
Speaker 1: teen versus mom, Oh my gosh. They just capture this
Speaker 1: mother daughter dynamic. They really do in such a real way.
Speaker 1: It's like there's something really real and honestly like touching
Speaker 1: about the fact that this whole thing is about her
Speaker 1: being forced to get married, but she's mad at her
Speaker 1: mom because of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what the love story is, her and her mom.
Speaker 2: Like that's the love that they focus on, and that's
Speaker 2: first of all groundbreaking. It really is a genre for
Speaker 2: a princess movie to not be about. It's such happily
Speaker 2: ever after in a romantic heterosexual Relationshi, yeah, my god.
Speaker 1: And it's not like she's just like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get married, screw everybody else. Everybody else's because that's
Speaker 1: how it can be sometimes where it's like the rest
Speaker 1: of the world has different values, and so this protagonist
Speaker 1: is to find her own way with some random person
Speaker 1: she meets. But this is like, yeah, the way it
Speaker 1: really is is you'd be mad at your mom. Your
Speaker 1: mom gave you this life, and your mom is the
Speaker 1: one whos supposed to understand you the most. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like, Mom, come on level with me. Yeah you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're actually gonna make me do this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like she's not even mad at her dad because he's
Speaker 1: not even really part of it.
Speaker 2: He can barely like put two sentences together. Coord he's
Speaker 2: just thinking about that that big ghost bear.
Speaker 1: More so beautiful. Yeah, later we'll have to talk about
Speaker 1: because this was brend Brenda, Brenda Chapman. Yeah, Brenda Chapman.
Speaker 1: She dedicated this to her daughter. She's working on it
Speaker 1: for six years, and then John Lassiter took her, took
Speaker 1: her off the freaking movie, replaced her with a man.
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tried to look up what their creative differences are.
Speaker 1: I can look into it more. We're at our later segment.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you all.
Speaker 1: I know about John Lassiter now is that he soft
Speaker 1: metude for hugging everybody so much. Oh, which that's one
Speaker 1: of those things where in the course of the Me
Speaker 1: too movement, everything was like so horrible. We would be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like they had sex slaves and oh, they would you know,
Speaker 1: expose themselves in front of people at work, like yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely heinous things. So then once a hugger came around,
Speaker 1: we were like, Okay, well that's not so bad. Everyone
Speaker 1: was like okay, but imagine your boss constantly asking for hug.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't need to be hugging everybody.
Speaker 1: That is incredibly inappropriate and an obviously very touch starved woman.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying that.
Speaker 1: Because it's only the women he was asking. Obviously it's
Speaker 1: incredibly inappropriate. Yeah, So imagine this guy trying to hug
Speaker 1: all the women in the office and then being like, sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't like your work, I'm gonna take you off
Speaker 1: of it. Oh my god, oh gosh.
Speaker 2: Imagine that if at one point in Brave moret Do
Speaker 2: stops roaring and then is like, where's my hug?
Speaker 1: Give us a whole? Come on, Leonna, you said if
Speaker 1: not friend, why friend? Shaped?
Speaker 2: We have to talk about bears. Bears are so cute.
Speaker 1: They're so cute. Are you telling me that I want.
Speaker 2: Going to kill them?
Speaker 1: On?
Speaker 2: Come on?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Right, that whole like the man versus the bear thing,
Speaker 2: like would you rather be with a man or with
Speaker 2: a bear? And most women would choose the bear? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you hear about this?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, I've heard about man.
Speaker 2: This was online. Yeah, yeah, you know about that. Bears
Speaker 2: are with their little, tiny round ears. There's just no
Speaker 2: world in which I wouldn't want to hug a bear.
Speaker 1: Sorry, so true. Sorry, I'm just thinking about also, like
Speaker 1: how true it is that it would be so much
Speaker 1: scarier to be trapped in the woods with a random man.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because a bear would be terrifying on a
Speaker 1: level of but you just yeah, there would be a
Speaker 1: chance that I could maybe get away where a man
Speaker 1: might do some weird stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a bear would a bear is much more
Speaker 2: likely to leave you alone than a man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's true. Yeah, I honestly her mom I
Speaker 1: loved as a bear. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I loved all of her little tendencies. I mean there's
Speaker 2: some of them in my badges, but oh my god,
Speaker 2: she was She really is so sleek.
Speaker 1: They were literally this movie was like what if what
Speaker 1: if a bear was like a girl? What if a
Speaker 1: bear is like a lady? Yeah? What if a bear
Speaker 1: is trying to be a lady.
Speaker 2: She's a lamee because she was trying to tell her
Speaker 2: crown on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so cute, which I didn't notice so much of
Speaker 1: this before that her whole like her mom, really feels
Speaker 1: a sense of duty. She's and she's a really good queen.
Speaker 1: She's like, I need to keep control of the kingdom,
Speaker 1: and the way that I've learned to do that is
Speaker 1: by being very formal and doing all of the queenly
Speaker 1: acting like a lady. And so she's still trying to
Speaker 1: do it even when she's turned into a bear. She's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat these berries.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm a bear. I will be using a twig
Speaker 2: forking night. Excuse me? I'm nude, I'm dude, also voiced
Speaker 2: by Emma Thompson.
Speaker 1: Really, yes, you better work, oh because the voice of
Speaker 1: the mom no way, I love her. She can't do anything.
Speaker 2: I love her so much. Oh, si Ana. You noted
Speaker 2: he said, Wow, Okay, she destroyed this woman's house. She's
Speaker 2: coming back in the spring. You guys, this woman's literally.
Speaker 1: Like, I won't be back till spring. Then they blow
Speaker 1: up her house. Imagine coming back and being like hello.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't think i'd be surprised. She's probably turned
Speaker 2: her mom into a bear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's probably used to all her stuff being blown
Speaker 1: up when she gets back.
Speaker 2: Also, I just like, why do you keep giving that
Speaker 2: spell to people? You know that it turned that guy
Speaker 2: into a big ghost bear. I will say he was
Speaker 2: terrorizing the highlights.
Speaker 1: Logically that was tough for me because was it her
Speaker 1: turning into a bear that made them closer? I guess?
Speaker 1: I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Guess well, and you noted they really spent the whole
Speaker 2: day eating fish and never talking about the poem.
Speaker 1: That confused me. They're like, okay, we have two days,
Speaker 1: so let's spend the first day spending a spending a
Speaker 1: lot of time at that river, which I enjoyed the montage,
Speaker 1: but the montage was just about fish. Yes, and I'm
Speaker 1: glad they spend time together. But yeah, that was like, ladies,
Speaker 1: the sun is going down.
Speaker 2: You have two days, not a long time for the assignment. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they don't. They don't try to puzzle it through. They're
Speaker 2: just focused on say the riddle, the antics. That's true,
Speaker 2: that's all true.
Speaker 1: It was strange, Leanna. You said he became a wisp, jealous.
Speaker 2: More dum gets crushed to death by a stone, first
Speaker 2: of all, incredibly skinny, okay, and then becomes as.
Speaker 1: I had a moment, we might not be able to
Speaker 1: keep this. I don't know if it's going to make sense.
Speaker 1: I had a moment where I was like, wait, is
Speaker 1: part of the spell that he has to throw this
Speaker 1: blanket over her mom? And I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was actually part of this bell but it seems like
Speaker 1: it was. No.
Speaker 2: She was just wrong.
Speaker 1: She was just wrong.
Speaker 2: She got it that meant literally mending, because.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was gonna say, if they
Speaker 1: had mended that stone that Mardeux was, then did they
Speaker 1: have to throw that stone on Mardu? But as I
Speaker 1: was saying that out loud. He got crushed with an
Speaker 1: actual stone, crushed to death, and I went, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess he did.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I think she did have the bell right.
Speaker 1: She had to mend it and then they hug.
Speaker 2: No, she didn't have to sew anything she did. She
Speaker 2: was taking it very literally. They had to mend their relationship.
Speaker 1: No, no, I think it was both. No, but then
Speaker 1: why would Mardeau have had a thing that was also broken?
Speaker 2: Just visual symbolism.
Speaker 1: But how was that the moment where she meant mended
Speaker 1: the relationship.
Speaker 2: Because she's like, please come back. All you've ever done
Speaker 2: is like be there for me and support me. I
Speaker 2: love you.
Speaker 1: Wow? She literally before damn No, ungrateful, ungrateful. Honestly, teens
Speaker 1: are the worst. Teens are teens are the devil?
Speaker 2: You're crazy. Yeah, they'll just watching a TV show which crazy.
Speaker 2: The voice of Meredith is in really and it just
Speaker 2: came out. It's super popular. She's absolutely actually Scottish and
Speaker 2: thank God, love good. But there's a teen in it.
Speaker 2: And somebody was saying, like, oh, teenagers, they they have
Speaker 2: to push you away so that they can fly the
Speaker 2: like leave the nest. But it makes it all like
Speaker 2: much more painful, and I was like, God, damn, I
Speaker 2: wonder if that is like, deep down what psychologically going on.
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit.
Speaker 2: Also, teenagers are evil.
Speaker 1: Because I remember the first time I really was like
Speaker 1: fighting with my parents or whatever or like having conflict
Speaker 1: was about probably my senior year, right before I had
Speaker 1: to leave. So it was kind of like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But then you come back and say yeah, thanks, my
Speaker 1: brain developed in yeah, thanks, thanks.
Speaker 2: As it turns out, uh, sorry about all that, and
Speaker 2: thank you, Leanna.
Speaker 1: Your final note ismg they've traded colors. Oh mere, doas
Speaker 1: wearing green and her mom is wearing blue.
Speaker 2: And your final note is bear fight.
Speaker 1: I just forgot that this ended with a bear fight.
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, we have two bears. They're gonna fight.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, They're gonna have to fight.
Speaker 1: They're gonna fight.
Speaker 2: Chekhov's gun, no brave bear.
Speaker 1: Bear More do you may have heard of more dou
Speaker 1: But did you know that we have more podcast coming
Speaker 1: up next around after these ads, we'll be right back. Ah, well, Leanna,
Speaker 1: should we move on to our next segment, which is
Speaker 1: of course badges geese?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Please? These where we give badges for bears, bear mama,
Speaker 1: bear mama, and tradges.
Speaker 2: For tricking your mom into eating a cake that turns
Speaker 2: her into a bear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, Mereda, that's a trage, Mereda, come on, I
Speaker 1: have so many badges. Yay, okay, because I forgot to
Speaker 1: write a bunch of down.
Speaker 2: First, my first badge is a badge for the font.
Speaker 2: I love a Celtic font.
Speaker 1: Yes, my first badge is a huge badge that I'm
Speaker 1: sure we're both we both noticed, which is the curl
Speaker 1: pattern in this movie. They clearly I think they spent
Speaker 1: like many years actually making it bounce and flow because
Speaker 1: they really spent a lot of attention on the hair.
Speaker 1: But one thing I really appreciated is that her hair
Speaker 1: doesn't have perfectly uniform curls, which would be the easy
Speaker 1: way to do it. They did it the real way,
Speaker 1: which is that she has some wisps that are longer,
Speaker 1: some that are more stretched curls, some are tighter curls,
Speaker 1: which is how curly hair works. So thank you Brave
Speaker 1: for doing that. It was so beautifulank you brave, Thank
Speaker 1: you brave.
Speaker 2: It was brave of freaking. Her hair is so gorgeous.
Speaker 2: I have such hair envy over her hair. A badge
Speaker 2: for music the music. Loved it. Love a Celtic too.
Speaker 1: Yes, I also wrote a badge for the music.
Speaker 2: It was really love you.
Speaker 1: It was kind of at first a little bit, even
Speaker 1: though this is Irish, not Scottish, it reminded me of Titanic.
Speaker 1: The wind, the wind instruments.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, but it was very beautiful. A badge for
Speaker 2: the scenery. These are all I wrote all of these
Speaker 2: before I wrote any actual notes down. This was in
Speaker 2: the opening, like ten seconds of the movie.
Speaker 1: The scenery is one of the reasons why I found
Speaker 1: this film so pleasant. It's just like everything I looked at,
Speaker 1: the scenery, the banquet halls, the it was all. It
Speaker 1: was all nice.
Speaker 2: Scotland is so beautiful.
Speaker 1: I won't go.
Speaker 2: Oh, you've got to go. It did make me excited
Speaker 2: to spend a month in Edinburgh this summer. I won't
Speaker 2: ad a chance to go like be in nature, but
Speaker 2: but I'll be in Scotland.
Speaker 1: Badge for this is something I remember noticing when I
Speaker 1: watched it at the time. I'm always very satisfied by
Speaker 1: cartoon genetics when they actually make characters look like they
Speaker 1: are the children of another, oh of the Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that she really looked like she was the child of
Speaker 1: both of her parents, like she had certain elements from
Speaker 1: each of them. And then all the sons were like
Speaker 1: the junior version of their dad. And I just find
Speaker 1: it really Yeah, yeah, those little rascals.
Speaker 2: They were funny. They were they were funny. I think
Speaker 2: they did it really. I think it's because they didn't speak.
Speaker 2: That's why I liked them.
Speaker 1: They did a good job at all the at all
Speaker 1: those extra characters, because the men could have taken up
Speaker 1: all the space, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was fun Yeah, a badge for a sheep fly
Speaker 2: through the air. When all the clans get into a
Speaker 2: big brawl at their first meeting, at one point, there's
Speaker 2: a sheep flying through the air and you just hear baha.
Speaker 2: It's really funny. It's funny.
Speaker 1: My next badge is a badge and a tradge okay.
Speaker 1: Erdadge is the first female protagonist in the Pixar universe
Speaker 1: Wow in twenty twelve. The first female protagonist. That's insane.
Speaker 1: I looked it up because I'm like, you're joking. And no,
Speaker 1: all the other ones, they were like Dory Jesse. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm like they are characters, like a side character where
Speaker 1: this was really a female story. It was the very
Speaker 1: first Pixar female story. Wow, so way to go Mereda.
Speaker 2: Oh, a badge for so sleigh in the archery scene.
Speaker 2: She is so slay, she is so slayh Yeah, big sleigh.

Speaker 1: She's got big claws, but she's got manners. Delicated bear,
Speaker 1: delicate bear.
Speaker 2: Just a penny whistle over that, and we're in business.
Speaker 2: We've got our celtic tune.
Speaker 1: I guess those are all my badges. You're summing it
Speaker 1: up quite well, Okay.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: A badge for the eyes.
Speaker 2: To show when she is mom, when she is bearing hunting, hunting,
Speaker 2: and effective, very show. Don't tell it worked. A badge
Speaker 2: for this bear is so cute. I love this bear too.
Speaker 2: I love the sleep Bear. And my final badge is
Speaker 2: a badge for a post credits scene. Did you see this?
Speaker 1: No? What was it?
Speaker 2: Do you remember that sleepy guard with the triplets cut
Speaker 2: off the mustache? Yeah, So he's sleeping by the door
Speaker 2: and then he gets awakened by somebody saying, hey, delivery,
Speaker 2: sign here, and he has to sign a thing and
Speaker 2: then it pans out to show a wagon piled like
Speaker 2: two stories high with wood carvings.
Speaker 1: Wood carvings, I don't get.
Speaker 2: It because Mereda offered to buy all of the woodworking
Speaker 2: pieces off the Witch Spell.
Speaker 1: Oh cute.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so cute. It was very love.
Speaker 1: They got a good job on this movie. It's hard
Speaker 1: to create a whole new universe, and they really did.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Yeah. Trages, My first trage is this
Speaker 1: is the first female protagonist in the Pixar universe. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm glad they did it. You had to do it
Speaker 1: at some point, but damn.
Speaker 2: My first trage is okay, maybe try and knocking. When
Speaker 2: Meredith gets to the Witch's cabin, she just walks in.
Speaker 2: That's rude. That is clearly someone's residence. You should knock.
Speaker 1: She is at a rude I mean she is a princess.
Speaker 1: She's a bit entitled, I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Trage four taking a woman off of a project. Oh,
Speaker 1: I just uh, this feels like a trot back.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, something occurred, situation, and it's one of
Speaker 1: these things where I'm like, however they reported on it
Speaker 1: and everything we found out about all of his hugging
Speaker 1: John Lesster's hugging later, I just don't buy whatever the
Speaker 1: reports were. I just feel like he was probably really
Speaker 1: hard to work with and Micromanagy, which I think I
Speaker 1: saw somewhere and believe, was probably like, you're doing it wrong.
Speaker 1: You're doing it wrong. I don't like this. I don't
Speaker 1: like that, and then eventually was like, yeah, she's working
Speaker 1: very well with me. I'm gonna take her off because
Speaker 1: she was probably frustrated because she was making a story
Speaker 1: about her mother daughter. You're like, hmm, maybe you should
Speaker 1: have triplets in it. So oh, anyway, those are all guesses.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I felt a young boy dive into Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to. Everybody loves that funny cleavage lady
Speaker 1: that we have in every other movie.
Speaker 2: She was really funny.
Speaker 1: I also wasn't that put off by that scene, and
Speaker 1: I loved her.
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, yeah, a trage for I am doing
Speaker 2: too many things right now. I Leanna was doing too
Speaker 2: many things while also trying to watch Brave.
Speaker 1: What were you doing?
Speaker 2: I had some work that I had to get done. Also,
Speaker 2: our fringe our Edinburgh Fringe Festival poster design was due today,
Speaker 2: so I was like having to give feedback to Michael
Speaker 2: who was doing the design in in design because he's
Speaker 2: a designer oh as his full time job, like an
Speaker 2: interior designer, so obviously he needed to be having the
Speaker 2: reins of it. But then it wasn't like a canvas
Speaker 2: thing where we could just both be scooted. It was
Speaker 2: like having to go back and forth with edits and
Speaker 2: notes and whatever, and trying to take notes on Brave,
Speaker 2: and my brain felt like it was exploding. She felt
Speaker 2: like she was on fire. I just wanted to be
Speaker 2: doing one thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. By by by the time I was watching Brave,
Speaker 1: I had a I was fighting off a headache like
Speaker 1: a migraine, because I only get migraines when I get headaches.
Speaker 1: But I did. I did fight it off, but it
Speaker 1: was like there were a lot of bright I was
Speaker 1: really when when I'm when my head hurts a lot.
Speaker 1: I really get to notice the contrast in light on
Speaker 1: these movies because there were some very bright scenes and
Speaker 1: I was like, ouch, but I got through it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess my one trage would be that there are
Speaker 1: some plot things that are unclear to me. Mainly I
Speaker 1: was really I found myself really frustrated at Merida, like
Speaker 1: girl talk about the poem don't me eating fish all day?
Speaker 1: Even though really the point was that they spend time
Speaker 1: together and get on the same page, which they ended up.
Speaker 1: But right the riddle, she probably was doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: But then later when she's like everybody let me out,
Speaker 1: everybody let me out, I was like, so the tapestry,
Speaker 1: because I thought that was what fixes Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: was like just so quickly and then run out. But
Speaker 1: she did something which is so me, which is getting
Speaker 1: in the car and then finishing the project. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: okay 'let's do it in the car. And by in
Speaker 1: the car, I mean she sat on her horse and
Speaker 1: then she was swrse.
Speaker 2: Her expensive horse angus My final trage is a trage
Speaker 2: FORER that I had to keep saying to myself, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be okay. Is I wouldn't necessarily call it a
Speaker 2: comfort watch TB.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It is stressful and emotional.
Speaker 1: Will I completely get what you mean. It is stressful.
Speaker 2: You have to be willing to feel emotions when you
Speaker 2: sit down to watch this.
Speaker 1: There's something really sad about this, I guess trope, even
Speaker 1: though it's not very common where your family member could
Speaker 1: be taken away from you in a way like that,
Speaker 1: where they just forget you and become like in this case,
Speaker 1: like become a creature. You know, yeah, yeah, because it
Speaker 1: really was. I was also when when she was crying
Speaker 1: and like, mom, please don't go home. Oh man o,
Speaker 1: your mom's about to disappear because of your own yeah sakes,
Speaker 1: because of your tense thoughtlessness.
Speaker 2: It's intense, and as a kid it doesn't register as much, but.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know so many things are so much more
Speaker 1: disturbing and sad now than.
Speaker 2: I'm an adult. Also, it was really violent.
Speaker 1: It was, oh my gosh when they were throwing all
Speaker 1: the just early on, when they were throwing all the
Speaker 1: knives at the like Bear, the stuffed bear. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: want to throw a butcher knife into Mardu's head. Mardu, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are all those are all my trages, Moleana. Shall
Speaker 1: we move on to our next segment, which is, of course,
Speaker 1: how to pretend you've seen this film before. You're at
Speaker 1: a big buffet of hagis and and cake cake and
Speaker 1: you are loading up and yeah, and Lord Dingwall, or
Speaker 1: it could be we Dingwall, which is his which is
Speaker 1: his son. Oh yeah, We Dingwall comes up to you
Speaker 1: and says, oh, I see, I see. You know, we're
Speaker 1: all here at this sort of medieval banquet hall experience.
Speaker 1: And it makes me think of a movie I liked that.
Speaker 2: Had a lot would you like it? A lot about it?
Speaker 1: Something that you liked, and it had the games in it,
Speaker 1: and then it had a bear fight, which I love.
Speaker 2: And in order to caber toss We Dingwall into the loch,
Speaker 2: We're gonna give you a few sentences you can say
Speaker 2: to pretend you've seen the film Brave, Yes, We Dingwall,
Speaker 2: I've seen Brave. Meredith says something to Angus that I
Speaker 2: say to myself every morning when preparing breakfast oats.
Speaker 1: It is then olts it as. Then, yes we Dingwall,
Speaker 1: I have seen the film Brave. This is the first
Speaker 1: Pixar animation movie. Okay, it's the first Pixar movie said
Speaker 1: entirely in the historic past, which makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: It was really a different movie from what they've done.
Speaker 1: It was like a princess movie in a really specific
Speaker 1: place in history and space, and I think I loved it.
Speaker 2: Yes we Dingwall, I've seen Brave. And please stop speaking
Speaker 2: to me right now because I have to go to
Speaker 2: the archery competition because I'll be shooting for my own hand.
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 2: I'll be shooting for my own hand, for my own.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Yes, this is weird. Okay, yes we Dingwall,
Speaker 1: I have seen the film Brave. It took six years
Speaker 1: to make this movie. Mark Andrews was initially the consultant
Speaker 1: providing the Scottish themes for writer and director Brenda Chapman. However,
Speaker 1: by October twenty ten, Chapman left after four years of work,
Speaker 1: with Andrews subsequently taking over but still keeping the intended
Speaker 1: story that Chapman wrote. Okay, Originally eighty percent of the
Speaker 1: movie took place in snow, which I think would explain
Speaker 1: why the after credit or why the credits had so
Speaker 1: much snow in it.
Speaker 2: Did you notice that?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was weird and.
Speaker 1: We were like, are they just doing the seasons or what?
Speaker 1: But when Chapman left the project, this is how it's written.
Speaker 1: But when Chapman left the project, so did much of
Speaker 1: the white stuff. Okay, we'll all have to go and
Speaker 1: read up on why she left. But I tried looking
Speaker 1: it up a little bit and it was kind of
Speaker 1: vague in some reports, but it says because she and
Speaker 1: John Lassiter had creative differences because he was micromanaging or something.
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if it. This was like right
Speaker 1: before women were allowed to say what was happening.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's true.
Speaker 1: They just didn't really report on it. She kind of
Speaker 1: like unceremoniously left the project, which is I mean, it's
Speaker 1: obviously a project she cared a lot about and developed,
Speaker 1: so that must have been really painful and complex.
Speaker 2: So I don't know that's so hard because then your
Speaker 2: name is going to be attached to something that you
Speaker 2: don't have control over how it actually gets presented to
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she's still at the Oscars, dedicated to
Speaker 1: her daughter.
Speaker 2: Weed dingwall is sidling up to me, and I could
Speaker 2: tell he's gonna speak to me about a film, and
Speaker 2: so as a distraction technique, I stand up and I
Speaker 2: point across the banquet hall and I say, oh, more
Speaker 2: do And all the men get out their weapons and
Speaker 2: sprint and pile in a corner, and I sneak away
Speaker 2: and ride off into the sunset on my expensive horse.
Speaker 1: Nay, oh, okay, two more pieces of trivia. Uh yes,
Speaker 1: we dingwall I have seen the film Brave good for them.
Speaker 1: There was originally a scene where Merida was actually interested
Speaker 1: in young mcguffin, but the scene was scrapped because they
Speaker 1: wanted to focus on the love between the mother and
Speaker 1: the daughter. Yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 2: So I love that she has no interest in any
Speaker 2: of them. I love that so much.
Speaker 1: It's just like, why would why would she get married?
Speaker 1: Just like I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know any of these boys.
Speaker 1: And then finally, two additional software programs were specially developed
Speaker 1: for the movie by Pixar the span of three years.
Speaker 1: One of them, one of these software programs, allowed simulation
Speaker 1: of Mereda's one thousand, five hundred strands of hair to
Speaker 1: move together with her movements because the hair is really giving.
Speaker 2: And that is women's rights. It is about developing a
Speaker 2: computer program to accurately show the movement of a girl's hair. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that is that's women's right.
Speaker 1: I still am glad that this, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to say I think even though she got taken
Speaker 1: off of it, it must have been painful and whatever happened
Speaker 1: that made it so that she couldn't finish the project,
Speaker 1: it was probably really frustrating working with her teammates on this.
Speaker 1: But whatever Brenda Chapman was able to bring it was
Speaker 1: a great it's a great girly watch. I loved it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and it's so clear that a woman worked
Speaker 2: on this.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Had had a lead role. Well, shall we move on
Speaker 2: or was there another piece of trivia? Let's move on
Speaker 2: to our segment should you watch this? Or in which
Speaker 2: we tell you if we think you should watch the
Speaker 2: film or if you should go to another castle?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Leanna's face looked completely unsure about that one. Leanna,
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh you can watch Brave. Oh I wish you would.
Speaker 1: Oh I wish you would.
Speaker 2: I wish you would watch this film. I don't even
Speaker 2: have something else you could do. Just just watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. I also think you can watch Brave.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, you know what would you rate the film Brave?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Brave. I've really had a good time
Speaker 1: watching it. Yeah, I had a better time than I thought.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I thought, but some Pixar movies
Speaker 1: these days, they got a lot of plot going on
Speaker 1: and they just kind of last maybe forty minutes longer
Speaker 1: than they should. So I thought it was going to
Speaker 1: be part of that world, but it really wasn't. You
Speaker 1: got to see bears being cute, father daughters. Yeah, all
Speaker 1: those boys are, they're being funny. Hmmm. I would give this.
Speaker 4: Film, oh, four point eight piles of meat out of five.
Speaker 1: I really didn't have many problems with it. Oh.
Speaker 2: I think I will give Brave five tossed cabers. That's
Speaker 2: the Scottish spin off of our podcast where we watch
Speaker 2: every film tossed cabs on the Scottish Film Institute's list
Speaker 2: of one hundred greatest. I'm looking that up. Five tossed cabers.
Speaker 2: I think it'll just be the BFA again. Five tossed
Speaker 2: cabers out of five. I love this movie. I really
Speaker 2: I think ancestrally, you have no choice but to give
Speaker 2: it a five totally. It's beautiful. The animation is gorgeous,
Speaker 2: the acting is so good, the voice.
Speaker 1: Acting game is really good. It's amazing.
Speaker 2: There's bits of humor. It's definitely stressful, but you know,
Speaker 2: it makes you feel something.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. It was.
Speaker 2: It's just beautiful and it makes you appreciate your mom.
Speaker 1: And we can't forget my body goals. Yeah, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we did it.
