Speaker 1: I am all in again.
Speaker 2: Oh that's you, Gilmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and
Speaker 2: Danielle Romo. Then iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Happy Weekend to all that are listening on weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of excited to talk about Funheads today because
Speaker 3: there were some things that I really noticed. So I'm
Speaker 3: just going to go right for it. Is that Sutton
Speaker 3: Foster's real brother.
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you for saying that, because I was watching
Speaker 4: and saying they are what great casting, what great casting.
Speaker 4: They look alike, they have similar mannerisms. Then I looked
Speaker 4: at our call sheet on our rundown and sure as hell,
Speaker 4: Hunter Foster as Scotty Sims.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Definitely enjoyed it. With them being brother and sister.
Speaker 5: There was a little bit of a weird.
Speaker 3: Brandon and Brenda from nine o two and zero, like
Speaker 3: a hint of a flirt that I think just because
Speaker 3: they're pals. I was like, Oh, but yet, I get
Speaker 3: that they're siblings. But did you not feel that at
Speaker 3: all when you're like, oh, they're a little.
Speaker 1: I cannot say that I did.
Speaker 3: It's hard to write siblings stuff because it always if you.
Speaker 5: Get siblings that are like.
Speaker 3: Close and fun and I did really enjoy their fight
Speaker 3: at the end because I thought, ah, now we're at it.
Speaker 5: But it's hard to write siblings. Also, I know.
Speaker 3: We talked about White Lotus earlier, but the siblings in
Speaker 3: White Lotus are just bizarre.
Speaker 1: I know, they're so bizarre.
Speaker 4: I love, I actually love the brother sister storyline.
Speaker 5: Right, I'll hand it to you. I thought it was good.
Speaker 5: I thought it was good.
Speaker 3: I don't think this episode is as strong as the
Speaker 3: one before.
Speaker 1: Well, let's give a little synopsis.
Speaker 4: So Michelle receives a visit from her brother after another
Speaker 4: failed marriage, while Melanie's new passion for roller Door releaves
Speaker 4: Ginny feeling abandoned, and Boo and carlst busy with their
Speaker 4: child care duties. Which is a storyline that's annoying the
Speaker 4: crap out of me.
Speaker 3: So so, so dumb, so dumb.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's annoying. Should we start from the.
Speaker 6: Top, Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Jordan, before you do, can
Speaker 6: I say one thing, yes, sleep acting is as hard
Speaker 6: as drunk acting, because when they were like falling asleep talking,
Speaker 6: I really had a note of sleep acting is not easy.
Speaker 1: It's also like when you have to play dead.
Speaker 5: And just.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I feel like I'm like, I see them moving.
Speaker 3: I see that moving, them moving. Anyways, start from the top,
Speaker 3: start from.
Speaker 4: Okay, So from the top we we get Jordan. He's
Speaker 4: teaching class.
Speaker 1: He is a what's the right word.
Speaker 5: He is a bossy pants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bossy MEETI pants.
Speaker 3: He is an incredible dance dancer, I know, my gosh.
Speaker 3: And then we get the end scene where he does
Speaker 3: the solo dance. I mean, he is a fabulous, incredible wow.
Speaker 3: But I was like, come on, guy, chill. And also,
Speaker 3: wasn't he a student like one minute ago?
Speaker 4: I yeah, And we'll get to the ending scene a
Speaker 4: little bit later. But I almost clicked off.
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, ukulele, So you thought he was
Speaker 3: so annoying or at the end, you're like.
Speaker 4: At the end when Michelle and her brother were sitting
Speaker 4: on the porch, I.
Speaker 1: Thought that was the ending scene.
Speaker 3: So I was like, all right, oh, and then you're like, whoa,
Speaker 3: this guy came out of door.
Speaker 5: It's sort of the credits.
Speaker 3: He kind of dances with the credits. Yeah, and then
Speaker 3: he was.
Speaker 5: Being mean to himself.
Speaker 3: I didn't love that. I didn't love it.
Speaker 1: I didn't love that either.
Speaker 4: Melanie's watching rollo Derby practice and oh, yeah, what do
Speaker 4: you think of her doing roller derby?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm not in the weeds on roller derby,
Speaker 3: but I know people that do do it, and I said,
Speaker 3: do do so? I thought, you know, and I kind
Speaker 3: of at the time was sort of like roller Derby
Speaker 3: was kind of I had some friends doing roller derby.
Speaker 5: I didn't mind it. I didn't love it.
Speaker 3: I thought Ginny and the whole wedding fiascost I didn't
Speaker 3: love a lot of the storyline.
Speaker 1: Do do you help me understand what roller derby is?
Speaker 3: I think it's like bully roller skating, but.
Speaker 1: Like, is the point to knock out people?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you like go around that thing and circle circle
Speaker 3: circles super fast.
Speaker 5: I think you like.
Speaker 3: Plow over people.
Speaker 1: I'm my odd.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's kind of aggressive. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 3: like girls. It's girls do roller derby and they're like,
Speaker 3: what there's like movies about roller derby and they go
Speaker 3: around that thing super super fast on roller skates, which
Speaker 3: I love, but then they kind of rah each other
Speaker 3: and yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean I would think so, and I sort of
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 3: Kouz and starting to like I don't know why we're
Speaker 3: all so mad at her. I'm like, this girl's cool,
Speaker 3: Why are we so I feel.
Speaker 4: Like Sasha I didn't see Sasha, And that was one
Speaker 4: note that I did make.
Speaker 1: I was like, no Sasha to this episode that I.
Speaker 3: Wonder if they were like doing double ups or something like,
Speaker 3: why would they not have all the girls in every episode?
Speaker 3: I don't really know. There must have been some reason
Speaker 3: because there's often episodes where the girls are missing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Boo wasn't in the last episode.
Speaker 3: I know, And then Boo was pretty heavy in this one.
Speaker 3: Maybe because they were young. I don't know, but there
Speaker 3: it feels weird, but there must have been a reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Then we had the scene with Jinny asking Melanie
Speaker 4: where she's been, and that, you know, she's not answering
Speaker 4: her phone and and all that kind of stuff. And
Speaker 4: I don't know why Melanie's not like, hey, I'm rolled.
Speaker 1: They're being I know.
Speaker 3: I don't know why it was such a secret, but
Speaker 3: I think it was because she got the in from Cosette,
Speaker 3: and Ginny doesn't like Cosette because Cosette's like trying to
Speaker 3: infiltrate the school. I don't know, It's sort of like
Speaker 3: around the river and through the woods. Who can whatever.
Speaker 3: I'm happy to see Michelle and Godeau getting along again.
Speaker 1: You know, I really do love Goodah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Godeau's a baller and Michelle needs to realize.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5: Michelle's irritating me a lot less.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like I remember this when I was watching it.
Speaker 3: It's like Sutton Foster sort of found her way. She
Speaker 3: sort of found her way right, like she was over
Speaker 3: the top or way too, way too.
Speaker 1: Like someone gave her some good notes and she listened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone said, you're playing this a little annoying. I
Speaker 3: think we need to dial it. Yeah, I agree, and
Speaker 3: she did, and I'm happy about it and.
Speaker 1: Great this is when we meet Scottie So who.
Speaker 3: Drilled You know the word shrill, I don't use that word,
Speaker 3: but it's almost like in the early episodes she was
Speaker 3: a hint trill or something like where you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: but now she's kind of settled in.
Speaker 5: I still am disappointed in the fashion and the show.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's significant, do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It's not a big role. They they
Speaker 1: definitely and I wish it was.
Speaker 4: They definitely said, we're gonna because if you look at
Speaker 4: like the dancing scenes, like they have that whole room
Speaker 4: filled with dancers that are obviously dancers they put their
Speaker 4: money in.
Speaker 1: Yeah that versus the fashion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whereas Gilmore Girl's fashion was really really really good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I would agree with that really good. So you know, look,
Speaker 3: I I'm not gonna lie. I love Sex and the
Speaker 3: City because I love the fashion. Now. I love the storylines,
Speaker 3: so here I do enjoy it, but I the fashion
Speaker 3: is like lacking for me. So that might be a
Speaker 3: that might be like a judgment. That's just like someone's
Speaker 3: eye rolling me right now. And I respect that because
Speaker 3: I get it. It doesn't really matter. But anyway, no,
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 1: It. It bothers me to see something in town.
Speaker 5: I think just because in Gilmore Girls and in.
Speaker 3: Masl the styling of it, the fashion is just a
Speaker 3: little bit a part of it, and this I'm like, uh,
Speaker 3: I'm better here. I also cannot stand the town. I'm like, God,
Speaker 3: stop showing me this town because this isn't a town.
Speaker 3: It's Manhattan Beach. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Anyway, whatever, but yeah, I mean, like I said, Scotty's
Speaker 4: waiting on Michelle's porch when Goodo was walking her back.
Speaker 1: Kind of awkward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a little weird, but whatever, fine.
Speaker 4: And Scotty said he was just married again to his
Speaker 4: fourth and then I think Michelle forret him to fifth wife.
Speaker 3: They're kind of a mess, these two, Like, let's be honest,
Speaker 3: they're kind of a mess.
Speaker 1: I like that he's a mess.
Speaker 4: I like that they're both mess And obviously we hear
Speaker 4: at the end that basically their mom was just.
Speaker 3: Not a mom. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah was Fanny in
Speaker 3: this episode?
Speaker 1: She was not and I and same with Truly, I
Speaker 1: don't remember truly.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and no, Sasha, you know, they really like
Speaker 3: I think Kelly Bishop like was a you know, a
Speaker 3: major part of the show, but she's not. She's in
Speaker 3: like only half the episodes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when she's in them, they're good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, uh, Michelle calls Gotti's ex wife to get his stuff.
Speaker 1: Back and Boo shows up with their little brothers.
Speaker 3: That was a bit weird. So, yeah, who were all
Speaker 3: those kids?
Speaker 1: It was her brother's friends.
Speaker 3: I felt like I was sort of watching an episode
Speaker 3: of the Babysitters Club, Like I was like, how did
Speaker 3: this happen? And I get it. We're supposed to sort
Speaker 3: of giggle at Oh they seem so married and now booze.
Speaker 1: But I don't like it, and I don't like how
Speaker 1: like Carl runs in. They're not even.
Speaker 3: Eighteen years old.
Speaker 5: I need to go to the gym. I gotta go
Speaker 5: to dance.
Speaker 1: I haven't had time for myself.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, come on.
Speaker 5: I get what they were sort of trying. It was
Speaker 5: sort of a it was a.
Speaker 3: It was an attempt at something, but it just was
Speaker 3: like I kind of giggled a couple times, but.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh I didn't because I'm just like,
Speaker 1: this is cringey. It's also not believable when Boo was even.
Speaker 3: Like talking to Jordan No and.
Speaker 1: She was like, you know that they're part of the
Speaker 1: deal with the kids.
Speaker 3: Oh I know, and it was like, just give them
Speaker 3: back to whoever you're you took them from. Like it's yeah,
Speaker 3: sort of, I was like, where's Sasha. Basically I agree.
Speaker 4: Then we go to the roller derby and we see
Speaker 4: that she's trying it out and because that's a.
Speaker 3: DJ and you know, here's the thing. Sorry, keep going, No,
Speaker 3: you're good. We kind of okay. Obviously she pushed the
Speaker 3: two people in the last episode so we could get
Speaker 3: to this roller derby thing. Yeah, okay, fine, but also
Speaker 3: I'm fine without it. It's just like great, whatever, fine,
Speaker 3: it was funnier when she just pushed the people. I
Speaker 3: didn't really even need all this roller derby, you know, brighamarole.
Speaker 3: But whatever, fine, it's not a problem either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: Anyway, go ahead, keep going.
Speaker 4: And then we're back to the dance studio, and this
Speaker 4: is where Ginny is asking Melanie where she's been and
Speaker 4: that she has that the Bridesmaids stress is awful and
Speaker 4: her mom is trying to sabotage.
Speaker 3: And that was also crazy. There was so much crazy
Speaker 3: in this because it's like her ma. Obviously I get it,
Speaker 3: her ma, her dad's getting remarried, the mom's all upset
Speaker 3: about it. But it's just like, whoa crazy?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what episode did they all go to dinner? Her
Speaker 3: and her mom and then the other girl and her dad.
Speaker 5: Was that this.
Speaker 3: Episode or last week when they went to dinner? Do
Speaker 3: you know what I'm talking about? They all went to
Speaker 3: a restaurant she something with the valet the ballet, and like,
Speaker 3: was that this episode or last night?
Speaker 1: No, it's not this episode. I don't remember that.
Speaker 3: Sure. I sort of thought, well, why aren't they together
Speaker 3: Ginny's mom and the other girl's dad, But I guess
Speaker 3: there he's still married.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I couldn't quite figure that out.
Speaker 5: You don't remember this, nobody remember?
Speaker 3: I don't think I made it up. Anyway. They were
Speaker 3: at like a restaurant and it was the the two
Speaker 3: girls and one mom and one dad not together anyway,
Speaker 3: Who cares?
Speaker 4: Oh, Jackie says, it is this episode. Why don't I
Speaker 4: recall that at all?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was sort of a funny, insignificant scene, but I
Speaker 3: was sort of like, well, why aren't these two together?
Speaker 3: What's going on? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys.
Speaker 4: I blacked out when I was watching it then, because
Speaker 4: I have recollection of that that actual zero that can happen.
Speaker 4: We go to the roller dirty and Melanie gets the
Speaker 4: nickname Cleos macdra which I thought was kind of funny.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, you know what there was though?
Speaker 3: There was two roller Derby names that I can't remember
Speaker 3: right now that were sort of takes on celebrities that
Speaker 3: made me laugh. Not her roller Deby name, but two
Speaker 3: others and I laughed because I was like, Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 4: And then we get the dance scene where Jordan is
Speaker 4: yelling at everyone and Boo just puts him in his place.
Speaker 3: It was funny, it was amusing.
Speaker 5: Whatever.
Speaker 3: Everything felt a little round peg square hold me in
Speaker 3: this episode, like, I agree, we're trying this not totally working.
Speaker 3: We're trying this is not totally working. Nothing's really working,
Speaker 3: but we're just gonna keep trying it.
Speaker 4: Then we're back at the roller Derby and uh, Ginny
Speaker 4: shows up in her bridesmaid's dress that is completely ruined
Speaker 4: by punch.
Speaker 1: And I loved when Melanie was like, hey, we're where
Speaker 1: did you guys get punch? And Ginny just went.
Speaker 4: On her well rant about how you can get punch
Speaker 4: anywhere at the supermarket, YadA YadA, YadA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she calls out Ralphs and Bonds. She's like
Speaker 3: Ralphs and Vonds.
Speaker 5: It was funny.
Speaker 3: It was all fine, whatever, yyada YadA. That's how I felt, like, okay.
Speaker 1: Fine, but we get the you know, we get the
Speaker 1: payoff that.
Speaker 4: Ginny now knows that Melanie is in the roller Derby
Speaker 4: and it's because of Cosette and.
Speaker 3: She's all mad at Cosette and says, you won't steal
Speaker 3: my friend.
Speaker 1: That's such a high school thing.
Speaker 4: That is so high school, like, oh, you can't be
Speaker 4: friends with that person because you're friends with me.
Speaker 3: When did we get to the part where Sutton Foster
Speaker 3: and her brother falling asleep in the ukulele and they're
Speaker 3: talking to sleep and then they have their big fight,
Speaker 3: Like that was kind of amusing.
Speaker 1: That's that's next.
Speaker 4: So so Scotty shows up to get an extra key
Speaker 4: and Michelle's place because he lost his last one. Michelle's
Speaker 4: up set because Scotti told her that the ukulele was
Speaker 4: when in reality he had it the whole time.
Speaker 3: I mean, that was sort of what I know.
Speaker 4: And then you you know, get a Scottie started to
Speaker 4: fight about his ex best friend that Michelle dated and
Speaker 4: he didn't even remember the name because yeah, Eric Johnson and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they fight about their mom and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all sort of good and sort of huh.
Speaker 3: I don't care, Like it was like almost a good episode,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna have to give it like a five
Speaker 3: because it just nothing clicked for me. I was like, oh, oh,
Speaker 3: do you do you ever?
Speaker 1: Because you have you have two brothers. I have a brother.
Speaker 1: Do you ever fight with your brothers?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: My god? That is like I love when I see
Speaker 3: families having meltown's on TV because I'm like, at least
Speaker 3: we're not that weird.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: I know my friend Carrie, her family is one of
Speaker 3: those families were like the sibling the three siblings all
Speaker 3: get along and the parents will get to love each
Speaker 3: other and it's just so perfect and you go over
Speaker 3: and dinner's ready and everyone's having a great time. And
Speaker 3: I've this is long, Like I've known these people since
Speaker 3: seventh grade and I've never seen anyone get in a fight.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, when does that happen?
Speaker 4: But then we all know the family who cannot just
Speaker 4: cannot get their shi t together and.
Speaker 3: You just fight with your siblings, and who do you
Speaker 3: fight with more?
Speaker 4: My sister is It's like it's not even a possibility
Speaker 4: to fight with her because she's the chillest person on
Speaker 4: the entire Like you can literally tell.
Speaker 3: Her so little, she's so much younger, you can.
Speaker 4: Tell her I hate you and she'll be like that's okay,
Speaker 4: and so like it's literally like.
Speaker 5: I want to be like that.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: Do you like that.
Speaker 4: She gives me so much anxiety because she is like
Speaker 4: that and I'm the exact opposite. She's just like, that's
Speaker 4: that's fine, okay, Okay, so she it's in cape like
Speaker 4: it's not even a possibility to fight with her.
Speaker 5: Is your brother like that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: My brother, on the other hand, has to have the
Speaker 4: last word for everything, and I kind of in the
Speaker 4: same way. So we my brother and I we we
Speaker 4: we go at it a little bit, but never never mean,
Speaker 4: it's just always like no, no, you're wrong, you're wrong,
Speaker 4: you know, like that, not like like we've never not
Speaker 4: spoken to each other, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's never gone like that. It's just good old brother sister.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: I like it. I like it. I like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But then yeah, I mean, but then we get
Speaker 1: the The show ends with.
Speaker 4: Scotty and Michelle on the porch explaining her ukulele. They're
Speaker 4: singing together, and then good old Jordan at the very
Speaker 4: very end is dancing and he's literally coaching himself, I know,
Speaker 4: and beating down on himself like it was kind of sad.
Speaker 4: I was actually made very intrigued about his character.
Speaker 3: It's also like, again, I felt like a reach that
Speaker 3: didn't connect, do you know what I mean? They're trying
Speaker 3: a lot in this episode, and again like that's really
Speaker 3: hard to pull off like a dance or be need
Speaker 3: to them, and it just was like a lot of
Speaker 3: it for me was.
Speaker 1: Man, yeah, for sure, I get that.
Speaker 3: I don't know, just like it was fine, it just
Speaker 3: didn't totally work.
Speaker 1: What would you rate this episode?
Speaker 2: Fine?
Speaker 3: It was fine. It wasn't great.
Speaker 4: I'd give it six and a half. It was entertaining,
Speaker 4: but there's some things like the boostoryline that bothered me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, But fine, I'll be there. I'll be
Speaker 3: there next week to see what happened.
