1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: On the Bell Cast, the questions asked if movies have

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: women and um are all their discussions just boyfriends and

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: husbands or do they have individualism? The patriarchy? Zef in

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: best start changing it with the Beck del Cast. Hello,

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Beck dol Cast listeners, Hi everyone, Jamie Loft us here

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: and Caitlin Durnte. You know us, you love us, of us?

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: You know us, or maybe you don't. This is your

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: first episode and you're choosing violence for no reason because

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: there's no episode this week, and we are I will say, so, okay,

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: let's just you know, I think we can put all

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: our cards on the table at the end of the year.

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: We're contractually obligated to provide fifty episodes a year. But

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing. We really enjoy our job, so we

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: usually don't skip any weeks. And then at the end

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: of the year usually it's like, oh, we we put

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: out enough episodes, we can we can have a bit

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: of a break if you will. Yeah, I'm tired. One.

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: There's a little peek behind the iron curtain of podcasting

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: so opaque, and yet you know now you know that

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: we we are entitled to have two weeks off and

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: we usually don't take them, and this year we're going

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: to take one of them. I didn't even know that

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: because I'm terrible at reading contracts. I don't know if

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: if anyone's ever tried to read a contract before, but

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: they're impossible to understand. I do know, I I know

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: that much. I know that we we are allowed to

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: take two weeks off a year, and we just usually

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: only take one. And I think that that's true this

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: year too, and this is the only one that we're taking,

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: or maybe we did, I didn't know, you know what

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: I think we did in August as well. All I'm

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: saying is we're doing the right thing by doing this,

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: and if you're mad, then you're being a labor problem. True. Yeah,

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: we are tired and we deserve a break and you

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: should respect that. Yeah. So, um, we are taking the

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: last week of the year off this year. However, if

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: you are looking for fun, fun end of year episode

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: and you didn't hear our New Year's Eve Gary Marshall

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: episode from last year, I would say that we have

40

Speaker 1: doing it for since over four years. Yeah, and it's

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: and and another fun look behind it doesn't feel right

52
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: to call it but the iron curtain of podcasting. As

53
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: we are recording this right now, we are about to

54
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,800

00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: of like very popular requests that Caitlin and I want

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: to talk about one on one, and it's also a

60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: mix of weird movies. Are personal favorites, your personal favorites,

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more obscure movies that we want

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: to talk about Frankenstein. I was gonna say this episode

63
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: we're about to record The Snowman is going to be

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: of the I Frankenstein ilk and that it's a very

65
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: very bad movie that there's somehow so much to talk about.

66
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: So I'm very excited to record it. We have so

67
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: much fun in the Matreon. It's also just like a

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: really really kind hearted and sweet community. And and so

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: usually on the Matren, we we or our listeners on

70
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: the Matren will pick a theme every month and we

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: will do two episodes on that theme. We've observed Portman

72
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: July in different months of the year, I think two

73
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: or three different times. So my cat is, Oh, isn't

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: this okay? This is cozy holiday content? My cats screaming

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: for no reason. Wellfully, did I tell you that I

76
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: saw Natalie Portman on the street walking by like just that? Wow?

77
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: Well I did. That's so I had Natalie A. Portman

78
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: appeared to me as like intrusively the other day where

79
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: I woke up and the TV was on and the

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: first thing I saw was a perfume commercial with Natalie A. Portman.

81
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: But she was doing this thing where she was like hey,

82
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: like she got really close to the camera and it

83
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: scared me and I jumped. Yeah, so what does she

84
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: She's so short, right? She she was very petite. She's

85
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: so I love when people are petite. That's Hollywood, isn't it. Anyway?

86
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: You wouldn't You wouldn't necessarily know that's that's movie magic.

87
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: But that's movie magic. I wish that that was me.

88
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Every time we post a picture of us together, they're like,

89
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: why is Jamie so humongous? I feel sick? People, Yeah,

90
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: people say, are so disturbed by that picture of us.

91
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: They think that I'm that you're a giant, and they

92
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: think that I am three ft tall. Liz, I'm wearing

93
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: a one inch heel in that picture. And it's like, oh,

94
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: sorry for looking confident for once in my life. And

95
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: everyone gets so upset about it. So I forgot slouching

96
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: over to try to accommodate the world. Jesus Christ, well,

97
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: speaking of peeking behind the iron curtain, listeners to clear

98
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: it up once and for all. I am five ft

99
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: four and I'm six ft tall, Okay, sometimes I sometimes

100
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: I I I literally was at therapy today, Wow, brave, amazing,

101
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: and my therapist was once again like, you make yourself

102
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: small in the world. You don't you to make yourself small.

103
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: You can be. But I interpreted it physically. I'm six

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: ft tall. I'm six ft tall, period, Jamie, take up space,

105
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: take up space literally and metaphorically. Look, we've talked about

106
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: it on the show a million times, and it's like,

107
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: I want other women to take up I want everyone

108
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: to take up the appropriate amount of space, except for myself.

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 1: I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to even vote.

110
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: Um So, it's a comf. We're all on a journey.

111
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: We weren't supposed to be on an episode this week,

112
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: and look at us providing free content once again. It's

113
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: at least five minutes long by now. So, so join

114
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: the Matreon, the Matron's Fund. That's where Caitlin and I

115
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: really get confessional and have and have a real goofy time.

116
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the Snowman, and I swear

117
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: to god, I have so many notes it's absurd. My

118
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: recap is like five pages long. I don't think I've

119
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: prepared this hard for an episode in a long time.

120
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: And we prepare very well. I mean, yes, we do, okay, yes,

121
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: um oh. And then one final thing is so we'll

122
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: be returning in the new year with regular episodes as normal.

123
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: We have a list of movies we definitely want to

124
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: cover in the coming year. If there are any, though

125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: that you would like to request. We forget to plug

126
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: this all the time. But we have a Google like

127
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: Google something. What is it called a Google form? A

128
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Google form that don't edit that out. Don't edit that out.

129
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,119
Speaker 1: That was I really loved that. You're like a Google Google.

130
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: I was like, it's not a Google. It's not a

131
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: good silting up. I simply could not think of the word.

132
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: I do that four hundred times a day, and it's

133
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: just kind of like liberating to see someone else the

134
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: same like um um um, you know, and then just

135
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: get to any of the sentence. Yeah, so fine, I'll

136
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: keep it all in anyway. It is a Google form,

137
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: thank you, Jane. Yes, you're welcome. And on that form

138
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: you can submit requests for movies you would like us

139
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: to cover, and then we compile all the results of

140
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: that and yes, you know, make an effort to do

141
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: episodes on very popular requests. Um. But we're also you know,

142
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: we're seeing everything that you request, so request away, we'll

143
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: provide that. And we are especially always looking for movies

144
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: that you want to hear who are that are not

145
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: directed by white guys? UM as always that it is

146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: always a continuing initiative of us on the show and

147
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: also just in life in general, to lift up, discuss,

148
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: learn about, talk about, find guests who want to talk

149
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: to us about movies that aren't made by straight white guys.

150
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: Can you imagine they're out there. We've covered many of them,

151
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: but we would like to cover more. And so in

152
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: the coming year, particularly if there if there are movies

153
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,480

Speaker 1: of you know, Caitlin and I were not fake podcast friends,

181
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: and that's not like directed at anyone in particular. Although

182
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: there are people out there, are codes out there who

183
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: are fake friends. We're real friends. Were uh, we're playing

184
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: it safe and then we're getting tested before we spend

185
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Christmas together as we usually do. Indeed, so there you go.

186
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: You'll probably see some of our annual Christmas content. Are

187
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: we gonna watch Titanic? Yes, like we did on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately,

188
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: it's like we do have two annual Titantic that are

189
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: very close together. I have a quick question for you,

190
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: and maybe it if it's too personal for the episode,

191
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: you can cut it. But I'm curious, Well, we'll see

192
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: what if it was disgusting? Um No, I'm curious where

193
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: did you did you find like a place for the

194
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: lego Titanic or is it just still like on your

195
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: table in your TV? Wow, that is not too personal

196
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, it is currently resting in front rest.

197
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: I'd laid it to rest at the bottom of the

198
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: Atlantic Ocean. Um, it is in front of my TV

199
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: stand on the floor. Okay, I feel I feel like

200
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: you need to get like a sturdy shelf for that, right.

201
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Are you gonna like spray it with like spray glues

202
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: so it doesn't because what if you if it falls.

203
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I've thought about that. I know I think if it falls,

204
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: no amount of glue will hold it together. So I

205
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: think I don't want to glue it. Someone had the

206
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: idea that I mount my TV on the wall, which

207
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: requires so many more skills than I than I have.

208
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: But if I mount the TV, then I can put

209
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: the Titanic just like put it on top of the

210
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: TV stand. That's an excellent idea. Mounting a TV is

211
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: has made me cry, but it is possible, and I

212
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: can help you because I cried doing it once. Yeah,

213
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I might just hire a task rabbit or something. We'll see.

214
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Not to impreune your work, Jamie, No, trust me. I

215
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: don't want to mount your TV. I was y nice.

216
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: It's really hard and and TVs are heavy. Okay, So

217
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: happy New Year everyone, Happy holidays. Please stay safe, please

218
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: protect yourself and others. And if you're mad at us

219
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,120
