So if you 9 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 2: need more New Year's movies, here you go put that 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: in your list. I will say before I started watching it, 11 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: because I have never actually seen it. Nineteen ninety five, 12 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: I would have been fifteen, so I didn't watch a 13 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: lot of like I don't think these along these lines. 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 2: But adult romance, by the way, I mean, like a 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: serious adult on me. That's what I meant. But I 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: keep getting confused with Stella gets her groove back. And 17 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: I was waiting for Taye Diggs the entire movie, Oh No, 18 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: and he never showed up. And I was like, what's happening, Leslie? 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: Snap never showed up? 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: Geez, isn't that what these movies Stella is about? 21 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: Man? 22 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: True? 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: But I was just like, wait, where's t Dis?

I don't know why, 30 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: but I just remember that poster very vividly. So maybe 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: another future. 32 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: I guess we do need to come back.

There was a lot of times 176 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, you're in this book, in this 177 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: alone focusing a lot on just raising her son and 178 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: providing for him has made her really anxious about him 179 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: leaving the nest, which is sort of in the process. 180 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: Thinking that maybe her and her ex could come back together. 181 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: After having a one night stand, she tries to convince 182 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: him to stay the night, which he then reveals that 183 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: he is gay. This is John Carlow Yes, So soon 184 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: she meets her new neighbor, who is a widower, and 185 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: they hit it off. He gets along with her son 186 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: as well, and everything looks good until she tries to 187 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: tell her son not to go abroad for a trip 188 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: to Spain. Soon she realizes she is being clinging to 189 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: her son and apologizes to him and the neighbor for 190 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: getting upset and realized that she is in love with 191 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: her neighbor and he is in love with her too. 192 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: So the movie ends as it began on New Year's Eve, 193 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: and this time, as at the first New Year's everything 194 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: was falling apart for them. This time they've all come together, 195 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: just the ladies celebrating around a bonfire, enjoying the night 196 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 2: in each other's company, laughing and excited about what the 197 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: future holds. Me Also, there was supposed to be a sequel, 198 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: which was written by Terry McMillan. Getting Getting to the 199 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: Happy I believe was the title. But soon after Whitney 200 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 2: Houston did pass away, so all the casts pretty much 201 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: said they would not They did not want to go 202 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: on without her. The author even said that they wouldn't 203 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: know what to do without her character and they didn't 204 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 2: want to replace her. So I think it's just been 205 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: kind of sitting in the water keep. It may be 206 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: one of those things where it keeps coming back up, 207 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: maybe a revamping or something, because in twenty twenty three 208 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: there was another article saying that there was going to 209 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: be a sequel, but I'm not sure. With guest appearances 210 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: with the original, we've seen that happen many times, so 211 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: who knows. Who knows what that looks like because to me, 212 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 2: most of those women look exactly the same. So if 213 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 2: you look at Angela Basker like what, she looks exactly 214 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 2: the same. But yeah, so because of that, I'm not 215 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: really sure if there's going to be a sequel. If 216 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: y'all know anything different, let us know, because this is 217 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: a classic. It was It did hit number one in 218 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: the box office when it was first released. Made over 219 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: eighty million dollars I think in the first week of it, 220 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: which is big for nineteen ninety five in a movie 221 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: like this. They won different awards as well as been 222 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: nominated through different awards, And obviously it's a classic, and 223 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 2: I think it's it's a pretty good, feel good movie 224 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 2: when you go through, when you wade through all the mess. 225 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got some shocking moments. 226 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: There was a lot of shocking moments, of course, and 227 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 2: they seem to be repeating each other's mistakes. Yeah, and 228 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: then but they would be ashamed of some things and 229 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 2: they come back and talk about it. But the dynamic 230 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: was beautiful. So yeah, let's get on to the themes. Obviously, 231 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: I think the number one theme outside of finding love 232 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: is friendship, which these four have an amazing friendship. The 233 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: immediately when they found out that Bernie was getting a 234 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: divorce or that her husband had left her, they call 235 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 2: in to check on her and try to find her 236 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: and try to get to her. Savannah Whitney Houston's character 237 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: shows up and they have drinks together and they talk 238 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: about what's going on and like how to move on. 239 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: We see the big birthday celebration for Gloria that kind 240 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 2: of turns into a mess, but then comes back. 241 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: It did really turn into a mess. And you know 242 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: the thing is, we can all relate even though you 243 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: could be embarrassed about it. If I've been that friend too, 244 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: where you had a celebration that's not about you, but 245 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: you're going through something. 246 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: It comes and it comes, and they all sit there 247 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 2: talking about what they don't want to men and they're 248 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: having that conversation. I think we've all had similar conversations 249 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: when you realize you've gone through a pile of men 250 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: or a pile of relationships that just wasn't going to work, 251 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: but you really thought maybe, and then the hindsight kicks in. Yeah, Yeah, 252 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: I do love that they all find each other and 253 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 2: realize how strong they are together collectively and then separately 254 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 2: as well. And they're all on different paths. Obviously, you 255 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: have the salon owner. You have the housewife who's going 256 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: to come out with her own business, who she's been 257 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 2: discouraged all her life not to do the catering, but 258 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: now she's about to, you know, throw it in and 259 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 2: get into it. And then you have the high power executive, 260 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 2: and then you have the producer doing her own thing, 261 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: which is lovely. 262 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that one of the things I 263 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: really liked about their dynamic was it they're they're the 264 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,119 Speaker 1: type of friends that will like have your back. 265 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: But we'll call you out. 266 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: They'll be like, wait, I love to see where Angela 267 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: Bassi's character comes in. She's like, I want a hair cut, glorious. Like, no, 268 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: we're not doing it. She's like, no, I want this 269 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: hair cuts. 270 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: Like fine, she. 271 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: Just starts cutting her hair really halpaardly, and then. 272 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: It turns because they were like, I don't like it. 273 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 3: But it was such a great seed of like I 274 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 3: think you're being idiot. 275 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: Fine, then we'll do it, because uh yeah, Barney is 276 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: like I'll do it myself, and you're like, oh, I 277 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: was gonna go real bad. That's gonna go real bad. 278 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: Don't let her do it. Don't give her banks, don't 279 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: give her her banks. 280 00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: But she looks me. 281 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: Think it's pretty usual. I think she kept that signature 282 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: hairstuff for the longest time because they liked good on her. Obviously, 283 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 2: the friendships go underneath us. But when I say relationships, 284 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: were going to say like partnerships or whatever, So we're 285 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: relationships or love interests. That was definitely the theme. We 286 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: had the good, the bad, the h and the renewal, 287 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: I will say, but obviously there wasn't much good up 288 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: until till the end. I think because the good relationship 289 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: was Gloria and the Neighbor played by Gregory Hines, and 290 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: I kept saying Gregory Hines. My partner was like, what, 291 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: like if you don't know who Gregory Hines is and 292 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: you just don't know the nineties the eighties has tap dancing. 293 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: He was glorious, but like it really was. All those 294 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: relationships were so kind of like, oh because none of 295 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 2: them or anything that all of them were either married 296 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: or unemployed or apparently drug dealer as one was. So 297 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: it's kind of like, okay, pick and choose your fighters everyone, 298 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: And even with like the Wesley Snipe thing, I'm still 299 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: kind of like, this is not a good situation. 300 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like I don't know if this would 301 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 3: be like emotional cheating. No, I'm not sure it. 302 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: Is emotional cheating, and like I understand mourning your your partner, 303 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: but we also know most men are the one to 304 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: leave women and their sicknesses. 305 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: So like, what the yeah, yeah, I feel like every 306 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: time we watch one of these like quote romantic movies 307 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: or there's a lot of I guess relationships going on. 308 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: Not necessarily romantic movies, but there's a lot of relationships 309 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: in them. I leave thinking men are trash. 310 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, that does seem like the theme here. Wow, 311 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: most men are trash liars, all the all them liars, 312 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: apparently unless they've been widowed. 313 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: Unless they've been widowed. Also like. 314 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: They're chunky. 315 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a strange. I couldn't figure out what's 316 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: going on in that plot line for a minute. Wait 317 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: a minute, okay, I. 318 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: Mean I thought they would Ultimately, I thought he was 319 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: going to come back and it was going to be 320 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: redeemed because he was like, you know you, maybe I'm 321 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 2: not your ideal, but I can give you everything you want. 322 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's really sweet. Also, I can't 323 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: tell if they're lying, Like I just waited for the 324 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 2: shoe to drop, because I swore Wesley Snipe was lying. 325 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: Right, like it was a big grift something right. 326 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: The entire time of course, I think that like even 327 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: though it's kind of like what is happening, that still 328 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: kind of was like hope of renewal for Bernie's character 329 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: to see that there are men out there who do 330 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: want a treasure the people they love, because she was 331 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 2: jealous of the fact that he loved his wife as 332 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 2: much as he did, even though his actions did not 333 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: necessarily prove it to me at that point. But again 334 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 2: I digress. But the fact that that that you can 335 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 2: have that and you can see that was a thing 336 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: I think for a Gloria's character. She didn't think she 337 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: could be loved and said that she was too fat 338 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: and all these things and just really didn't think she 339 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: deserved it. And and Gregory Hines's character was like, no, no, no, 340 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: here you are. I love you, you know, immediately, and 341 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: they grew together. Not only that, but he was a 342 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: father figure. When Tarik's father walked away, I guess that 343 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: was conflicting plot line two of like he abandoned his 344 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: son absolutely, but he came back around, and when they 345 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: found out he was gay, they kind of just dismissed him. 346 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 2: I couldn't quite figure that part out. I wasn't sure. 347 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: It was an interesting sideline, I think, But those two so. 348 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: Bad because when I immediately saw him, I was like, 349 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: oh no, they're kinda stays gay that. 350 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: He was, and I felt horrible about the earring. 351 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,479 Speaker 2: In the nineties, that was their key way of like 352 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 2: letting you know, oh, this person is probably gonna be gay. 353 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 2: His character is going to be gay because he's got 354 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: that that that is it in the left ring or 355 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: left ear ring or something that was going around as 356 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 2: a rumor when I was growing up, and I'm like, 357 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: what what is happening? But yeah, essentially that was so yeah, 358 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 2: that was that pot nineteen ninety five, y'all, nineteen ninety five. 359 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 2: We have to all remember this because the acting was 360 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: not great. I think the only person that I was like, yes, 361 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: getting it was of course Angela Bassett and her her 362 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: fierce anger you know when Heston did a great job too. 363 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: But like when you come and see the shining of 364 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 2: the all of them. But like, the nineties had a 365 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: different level of acting skill that we saw, and I say, 366 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: this is I don't act well, listen to our ads, 367 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: but you can see the differences. But yeah, I think 368 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: that all the relationships really did have a ton of 369 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 2: like trying to grow, oh and trying to become better. 370 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: I think Whitney Houston's character really does. They don't highlight 371 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: it enough that she figures out she's okay, and she says, 372 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: I'm an assult because I've been with you and excusing 373 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 2: these things, and I don't want to be anymore. And 374 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 2: that's like that big ending is like yes, yes, here 375 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: we go. That's the realization. 376 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 377 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: Because again, like this is not unique to this movie 378 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: or not even to the nineties, but there was so 379 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: much like you've got to find a man. There is 380 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: even one line I wanted to write down where it's 381 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: like wow, or it was like a woman. 382 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 3: Without a man, what are you even doing with your life? 383 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: And she has this like producer job that she's really 384 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: good at and she's she loves and she's just got 385 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: this guy that she keeps waiting, like waiting like he's 386 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna change, He's gonna change. And she finally has that 387 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: mom of like he's not gonna change, and because I've 388 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 1: been going along with it, I don't feel good about that. 389 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: And she has a great like public breakup scene yes nope, 390 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: no more, and it was very it was very vindicating, 391 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: and her mom had been pressuring her so much like 392 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: You've got to get a man.
