Speaker 1: Toss Popcorn is a production of iHeartRadio. Hi. I'm Sienna
Speaker 1: Jacob and I'm Leana Holston and welcome to Tossed Popcorn,
Speaker 1: the podcast where two idiots watched every film on the
Speaker 1: AFI's one hundred Greatest American Movies of All Time, the
Speaker 1: Very slightly Less Racist tenth Anniversary Edition, and are now
Speaker 1: watching movies of our own and listeners choosing.
Speaker 2: This podcast is a safe recording studio for people who
Speaker 2: don't know anything about movies. Today we're watching music and lyrics.
Speaker 1: I'm just here to cater to the plant, and you
Speaker 1: are doing a fine job, if I may say so,
Speaker 1: Although that one is plastic. Huh oh, it's a waste
Speaker 1: of time. Warning there will be spoilers about this rab
Speaker 1: calm old film. This is a rom calm.
Speaker 2: There is ram and there is calm. Uh did you Jesus.
Speaker 1: What it had to be? Because I had never heard
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: Twas I twas I who said to the house ablaze, fantastic.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess this is a good time for our predictions.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I would love that. I would just
Speaker 1: love that. I guess we'll start with mine because I
Speaker 1: knew the film. Those those that who they who know
Speaker 1: it first goes first.
Speaker 2: Yes, if it is to be said, so it be,
Speaker 2: so it is?
Speaker 1: Okay, ready, yeah, good morning, Sienna, Good morning. I'm about
Speaker 1: to watch music and lyrics. I predict there will be
Speaker 1: music and if you can believe it, also lyrics. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've seen this before. I think it's really cute t
Speaker 1: be completely h so. I hope it's a good time
Speaker 1: and doesn't make me want to eat myself into oblivion
Speaker 1: due to romantic oh flaps love you by. I hope
Speaker 1: this was so far from reality in every way that
Speaker 1: it didn't feel that way. Yes, yes, true, as a
Speaker 1: true rom com should completely completely removed from reality. Sianna.
Speaker 1: Could I hear your prediction please? Yes, I'm just remembering
Speaker 1: it now. And well, Hi Leanna, Sienna. Here, I'm about
Speaker 1: to watch music and lyrics. A movie I have never
Speaker 1: heard of, but somebody mentioned might be a rom com.
Speaker 1: So perhaps it will be about a musician finding love.
Speaker 1: Maybe one of them is a songwriter, one of them
Speaker 1: is the composer. Maybe someone's trying to kime a pop star.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's sort of an opera situation. I would love that.
Speaker 1: I would love that. Well, we haven't had that many
Speaker 1: opera movies, not since Citizen Kane. Hot take, Citizen Kane
Speaker 1: is an opera movie. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go watch
Speaker 1: the movie now, I love you goodbye.
Speaker 2: That's not a hot take. That's true. If we did
Speaker 2: have that opera movie with the Three Guys to.
Speaker 1: Morrow, oh my gosh, a Night at the Opera.
Speaker 2: I almost said the Brother's grim. Oh that's what it
Speaker 2: was called.
Speaker 1: I forgot there was a movie about the opera called
Speaker 1: A Night at the Opera. Well, I guess I got
Speaker 1: it right. Some one person writes the lyrics. Oh yeah, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well Leanna, before we get into the movie, Hey girl,
Speaker 1: hey girl, as you you know how you've been afflicted
Speaker 1: all summer long by bug bites? Yes, well something you
Speaker 1: sent him my way or you must have. Are you
Speaker 1: still getting bit yes? Oh okay, Well then others have
Speaker 1: a redin here across the pond, because I have five
Speaker 1: bug bites on one hand. What the heck? Okay do
Speaker 1: you wear bugs? One on my left ear and none
Speaker 1: anywhere else? Did you spray like your legs?
Speaker 2: Because I'm saying they just were nowhere and I don't
Speaker 2: know where they came from.
Speaker 1: This is not.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this how you felt. It's just
Speaker 2: like I don't know what I've done or where I
Speaker 2: went to cause this. I'm a little bit like because
Speaker 2: I was in nature for a few days.
Speaker 1: Sure, so a part of me is like, is it
Speaker 1: lime disease? But I don't know. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think you would probably not if you did, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of of.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm very deeply alone in my life, so
Speaker 2: it's only me checking.
Speaker 1: But so far, the Royal we.
Speaker 2: Have not found any. You're mainly at your neck, you know.
Speaker 2: And I don't think I'm so scared of them. I
Speaker 2: don't think they're around. I had a tick once when
Speaker 2: I was a child. Now ever since, I'm very afraid
Speaker 2: of the nape of my neck.
Speaker 1: That is so scary. Yes, that's terrifying.
Speaker 2: The nape is dark and full of horror. The nape
Speaker 2: to wear, the nape, Beware the nape. Hey girl, Hey girl, gosh,
Speaker 2: what to report? A couple funny things I think you'd enjoy.
Speaker 2: I did another show the other night, the same show
Speaker 2: that I did.
Speaker 1: I was so so stressed all day. It was just
Speaker 1: one of those days where it was like it hit
Speaker 1: like three pm. And we realized how much that had
Speaker 1: to be done. You know, you're all day you're like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I have an event tonight. It's all good, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: it hits that afternoon time and you're like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: So I was very we still, we gave it our
Speaker 1: all and people people really responded to it well, and
Speaker 1: I was very happy. I'm just I'm happy that this
Speaker 1: show is enjoyed by the people and touching to people.
Speaker 1: But I got a couple a couple of comments after that.
Speaker 1: It was like as if people were trying to comfort
Speaker 1: me about my performance and contributions, even though I truly
Speaker 1: wasn't being self deprecating, like yeah, I'm no longer sort
Speaker 1: of like, oh that sucked so much. Afterward, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm glad you enjoyed. But people were treating
Speaker 1: me as if I was being very self deprecating, like,
Speaker 1: for example, this one guy, So it's technically a puppet show,
Speaker 1: even though it's basically like a sketch comedy show with
Speaker 1: some big paper mache flair. Okay, but this guy came
Speaker 1: who was like one of my friends dates, and I
Speaker 1: think he just he wasn't he wasn't used to the
Speaker 1: art form very understandably. But so afterward we were kind
Speaker 1: of standing there and he was trying to I believe
Speaker 1: what happened was that he was trying to connect and
Speaker 1: he was like, okay, this weird puppet person, what should
Speaker 1: I ask? So he was like, yeah, so who makes
Speaker 1: the puppets? And I was like, oh, yeah, we all
Speaker 1: sort of do, we all pitch in. We all, you know,
Speaker 1: like one of my friends made all these ones, the
Speaker 1: ones that you probably remember in this scene. It's very beautiful.
Speaker 1: He made this and this person made this, and he goes, okay,
Speaker 1: so and what did you make? And I go oh,
Speaker 1: And I started thinking and I cannot think of anything.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't make very many puppets. I'm
Speaker 1: more of a performer, writer director. But I did make
Speaker 1: the I made like the Shadow puppets for this one.
Speaker 1: But I completely forgot, and so I was like, yep. Again.
Speaker 1: I wasn't self deprecating. I wasn't like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, you know what, I can't
Speaker 1: think of it right now. And he looked at me
Speaker 1: with so much pity, like because for him, in his defense,
Speaker 1: I can understand He's like, this is a puppet show.
Speaker 1: All I can imagine is that the point is you're
Speaker 1: supposed to make puppets because this thing was so weird
Speaker 1: that these people must be like following their dreams and
Speaker 1: building things they love, because why else would you make
Speaker 1: this thing? And so he was like oh, and I
Speaker 1: was like uh, and he kept like waiting for me
Speaker 1: to say stuff, even though the answer of me being like,
Speaker 1: I kind of helped on stuff, but I was mostly
Speaker 1: a performer in this should have been fine, like I
Speaker 1: was in a lot of scenes, but he wasn't impressed.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, uh uh, you know what
Speaker 1: I did the hair, I helped on the fairy puppet
Speaker 1: that came down on a zipline. It was like I
Speaker 1: helped on zipline. Again, It's like I helped on this
Speaker 1: fairy puppet. And he goes, oh, yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: significant moment. I was like, who told you I needed comforting? Ah?
Speaker 1: I told you to treat me this way. Wow, it
Speaker 1: was so funny. I was like, what vibe was I
Speaker 1: giving off during the show that made you feel that
Speaker 1: you need to like find something for me to feel
Speaker 1: okay about? Oh God, it was so funny.
Speaker 2: People who don't know what to say after a show
Speaker 2: often end up saying the worst possible thing. After a
Speaker 2: stand up gig, my friend brought a friend of theirs
Speaker 2: who was visiting. After the gig, which went fine. My
Speaker 2: friend's friend, the only thing that he said to me was,
Speaker 2: how do you feel?
Speaker 1: I hate that? I I hate it, so I'm still
Speaker 1: mad about it. I'm still like, no, unacceptable, unacceptable thing
Speaker 1: to say. I get that that's your go to. If
Speaker 1: you don't have anything nice to say, all you have
Speaker 1: to say is good job. That's all you have. It
Speaker 1: you don't I don't need anyone's two cents. No, how
Speaker 1: do you feel? Ah, it's the pity, it's the like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's so much pity. Also, can I
Speaker 1: just say to everybody I did a good job. I
Speaker 1: still don't feel bad about my performance? Yeah? Why is
Speaker 1: everyone treating me this way? What's going on? SI enough? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Could you please give us a synopsis of the film
Speaker 2: music and lyrics.
Speaker 1: I will do just that music and lyrics. He's quippy,
Speaker 1: she's quirky. He's a washed up composer from the eighties
Speaker 1: who could never get his head around lyrics, and she's
Speaker 1: a goofy wordsmith who mutters beautiful things to herself while
Speaker 1: spraying plants. He is hired to write a song for
Speaker 1: a culturally appropriative sex symbol current it girl pop star,
Speaker 1: and boy does he need help putting words to his tunes.
Speaker 1: Most of the film is him trying to convince her
Speaker 1: to work with him, and her saying I'm not a songwriter,
Speaker 1: until eventually she agrees to slowly craft a hit with him,
Speaker 1: line by line over the course of four days, they
Speaker 1: fall in love. By the way, he's Hugh Grant and
Speaker 1: she's Drew Barrymore. The ends yay, oh my god, Sienna,
Speaker 1: what did you think of this movie? This was such
Speaker 1: a rom com. It it started out and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is really fun. I loved how it started with
Speaker 1: the music video. It was super fun. It was super cute.
Speaker 1: It felt like it was written in one day, Like
Speaker 1: it was so just the archet, such an archetypal archetypical
Speaker 1: archetypal rom com. I could not believe, like all his
Speaker 1: little quips. I was like, well, so, anyway, I quite
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. But a lot of the reason I enjoyed
Speaker 1: it was because it was so dumb. I couldn't believe it. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: but oh yeah, fun seeing these two actors together. Fun.
Speaker 1: And loved watching Hugh Grant do a little dance. I
Speaker 1: loved that at the beginning. Love when he does a
Speaker 1: little dance, so funny.
Speaker 2: We're so lucky that Hugh Grant is down to do
Speaker 2: a little day.
Speaker 1: We are That's exactly how I feel. When he doesn't,
Speaker 1: I go, We're so lucky.
Speaker 2: He does it in love. Actually he does it all
Speaker 2: the time in this he does it in Paddington too.
Speaker 2: Hugh Grant will do a little day.
Speaker 1: He knows, he knows, he has the the moves. Leanna,
Speaker 1: how did you feel about it this time? I so.
Speaker 2: I first saw this movie when I was a kid
Speaker 2: and we rented it from Blockbusters.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Hello Hello.
Speaker 2: Throw back, and watched it as a family and we're all.
Speaker 1: Like, oh cute. That was so fun. Yeah, that's really
Speaker 1: cute that that was such a fun film.
Speaker 2: So I remember it very fondly because of that. I
Speaker 2: don't think i'd seen it since then, but I think
Speaker 2: we as a family maybe quoted it often or something,
Speaker 2: because I've remembered so many lines from it. Watching it
Speaker 2: again today, they are so funny. I think everything you
Speaker 2: said is correct. I also, looking back at my notes,
Speaker 2: I pretty much only wrote down quotes from the film.
Speaker 2: I didn't really have other thoughts, okay, And I think
Speaker 2: that's the purpose of a movie like this Smooth Brain.
Speaker 2: Just giggle and then it's over and it's so comforting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's very a comfort watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I bet it's also the reason I now live in
Speaker 2: the UK. I bet it could be traced back to
Speaker 2: this being one of the founding like this Monty Python.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of like just Hugh Grant being British
Speaker 2: and yeah, little asides.
Speaker 1: He is the king of that. I think that's very
Speaker 1: he really knows his brand formative. All I wanna do
Speaker 1: is find on ad break for three minutes. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. Rianna. Your first note, I don't remember this quote,
Speaker 1: but I love it. Sure you said, I don't think anymore.
Speaker 1: I just exist so true you said.
Speaker 2: Nobody even said this out loud. It was there was
Speaker 2: some like newspaper, ad or billboard or something for Cora
Speaker 2: and it was an interview with her. Oh, I think
Speaker 2: it was her on the cover of a magazine and
Speaker 2: the pull quote was I don't think anymore.
Speaker 1: I just exist. That's so funny.
Speaker 2: What was your experience like seeing Cora, the character that
Speaker 2: is the embodiment of appropriation?
Speaker 1: Yeah, in some ways, I kind of I kind of
Speaker 1: how do I put this? In some ways, I kind
Speaker 1: of like what they did there in terms of, hey,
Speaker 1: that is such I mean, I guess this was in
Speaker 1: New York, right, Yeah, but it was such a Hollywood
Speaker 1: accurate to Hollywood, Like this is the way that stars
Speaker 1: are weird. Is it's not just them being like like
Speaker 1: I think stars are often like shown as being like
Speaker 1: really like needy and bougie and whatever, but like, truly,
Speaker 1: people here are so weirdly spiritual, Like that's what makes
Speaker 1: them weird. When people become celebrities for some reason, they
Speaker 1: start buying a lot of crystals, No offense to people
Speaker 1: who like crystals, but like it's just it's weird to
Speaker 1: it's weird to see or like you'll hear from their
Speaker 1: assistant that they really wanted like yeah, that they like
Speaker 1: need to study their Buddhism for however long, Like they
Speaker 1: just get really into that here. Yeah, so she felt
Speaker 1: like that. I feel like that was an accurate embodiment
Speaker 1: of celebrity. I also just kind of liked her. I know,
Speaker 1: she's really like a really fun like she's a really
Speaker 1: sweet character. I like that the end too, She's like,
Speaker 1: I want you all to fall in love. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: as far as it goes, I really wasn't doing that
Speaker 1: much eye roll, even though, like the one thing that
Speaker 1: I was critical of was that they were like implying
Speaker 1: that she is the entire reason that they'd want her
Speaker 1: to be that sexualized. I'm like, it's definitely the team
Speaker 1: and the brand. Who's really for that in those kinds,
Speaker 1: like you just kind of like when you're a female
Speaker 1: pop star, you literally have to do that. It's the industry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that was the one part where I was like,
Speaker 1: don't say it's all women wanting to do this, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is part of the industry. Like she's a true businesswoman,
Speaker 1: so she knows what it is. But I did. I
Speaker 1: like that she just wanted to dance, So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Shakira is breathing down my neck, so I want
Speaker 2: to dance.
Speaker 1: And even though it was crazy what they did, like
Speaker 1: so appropriate and like that was the point. That was
Speaker 1: the point. But even later when they had this huge
Speaker 1: Buddhist tattoo on the stage and even watching the people
Speaker 1: in the audience watch that neutrallly, I was like, this
Speaker 1: is so crazy. Yeah, but at the same time, they
Speaker 1: really built her an aesthetic that was unique. I was like,
Speaker 1: they really thought about this character, and for that it
Speaker 1: is funny. But oh my god, this is so wrong,
Speaker 1: Like this is so messed up. It's so it's so
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. Because they know that, they're like, ye,
Speaker 1: they're starting to get it, they're starting to go this
Speaker 1: is crazy. But also no character goes this is wrong.
Speaker 1: At one point they said something about that she ruined
Speaker 1: two music musical culture, and I was like, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: follow that tread, follow that, pull that thread, that thread,
Speaker 1: let's go for it, let's go down that road. But yeah,
Speaker 1: middle further Cora was pretty funny. Leanna, you said something
Speaker 1: very important, an important part of this movie. And we're
Speaker 1: a little gonna get into a specific fan niche which,
Speaker 1: as you said, oh no, it's mister Shoe Glee fans
Speaker 1: in our audience gleeks. And by the way, I want
Speaker 1: to know, go ahead and message us if you are.
Speaker 1: I just love to know the overlap of our listenership
Speaker 1: and any gleeks out there. Well, mister shoe, mister Matthew Morrison. Oh,
Speaker 1: anybody who jump scare when you see him? I do.
Speaker 1: And I don't really know why. No one knows why.
Speaker 1: But he's an upsetting figure. And again we don't know why.
Speaker 1: Science we know why.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's like a monster, Like I don't
Speaker 2: think he's a bad He also doesn't have.
Speaker 1: Like a super weird face. That's like, I just don't
Speaker 1: trust that. I just like he just there's something.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's one of those like handsome but uncanny valley. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, Sienna. You noted a
Speaker 2: woman said to him plants make women feel comfortable? Yeah,
Speaker 2: do you feel that way?
Speaker 1: It was weird that someone He was like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: have plants now because I had a lady friend over
Speaker 1: once and yeah, she said that plants make women feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: And you're like, no, she did not say that I
Speaker 1: walk into a hookups house that I go, you know,
Speaker 1: plants make women feel comfortable? Like, that's so creepy.
Speaker 2: What would they I would say that if you walked
Speaker 2: into a hookups house, what's the item that you'd see
Speaker 2: that would make you comfortable?
Speaker 1: That is a great question. What makes you feel comfortable
Speaker 1: in I mean, to be honest, anybody's home that I
Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable, And it's when it's like like just gross
Speaker 1: Bachelor Town, USA. Like, first of all, if it smells
Speaker 1: really weird, I feel fat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, A good odor is comforting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably just things being a little bit stylish and cozy.
Speaker 1: I go, okay, you're one of us. This is a
Speaker 1: safe space. This is a safe space, like a curtains
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: For me, it's a sectional couch. Oh yeah, if they
Speaker 2: own a sectional couch specifically, huh.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, totally. I loved that opening music music.
Speaker 1: I thought you might. Yeah, it's so funny. It's really
Speaker 1: really funny. And also that song is good.
Speaker 2: It's a banger, Goes goes.
Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah. Most of your notes are just my asking
Speaker 1: a questions. She's being so weird.
Speaker 2: At one point you said, does this song suck? Okay,
Speaker 2: set the song they're writing we.
Speaker 1: Have to talk about, because this is where this movie's
Speaker 1: really cute. But where it was like, guys, this is
Speaker 1: too dumb was when their writing process is insane. Now,
Speaker 1: if this is what being a writer is, then maybe
Speaker 1: I am a writer, which is over the course of
Speaker 1: a week, they write like three lines and they think
Speaker 1: way too hard about it instead of just like writing
Speaker 1: stuff down and then editing it and being like, no,
Speaker 1: let's do this, and they're like, let's think of another line,
Speaker 1: maybe something about your heart. No, that doesn't feel right.
Speaker 1: I have to go. That's like you guys have another
Speaker 1: date of Like, this is not how it works. I
Speaker 1: also loved how much they loved her lyrics. Her lyrics
Speaker 1: were so stupid. I did like what they ended up creating,
Speaker 1: but just like they'd be like, I can't think of anything.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I don't even know. Like one time I
Speaker 1: tried rhyming you and me with autopsy and she was like,
Speaker 1: what about love autopsy? And they're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: she's amazing at this. It all felt like, you know
Speaker 1: that meme of Demi Levado and uh in Camp Rock,
Speaker 1: where she goes she's really good good. That's how everybody
Speaker 1: was reacting to her. She's really good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so I know you wrote irl update. I
Speaker 2: ate too much. Spawn Just now I thought you misspelled spinach.
Speaker 2: What the hell is sponge?
Speaker 1: Sponge is I think of it? It's usually like in
Speaker 1: like the Mexican treats. It's by Marinella. That makes I
Speaker 1: think mostly like it's like it's like Hostess cakes, but
Speaker 1: they're usually Mexican ones. But apparently we were debating it
Speaker 1: last night. Everybody's wants to fight me over sponge, but
Speaker 1: I don't want to fight anymore. Absolutely spyers like ire.
Speaker 1: That's I think what it is. Its awful, but that
Speaker 1: and I've had it in Mexico and then also now
Speaker 1: in La when there's like lots of like Mexican treats
Speaker 1: around that's because I can't find it in Seattle. Like
Speaker 1: I love sponge. Oh it's just like a little like Hostess.
Speaker 1: It's it's like snowballs or something like it. It's like
Speaker 1: a little shortbread cookie with marshmallow with coconut on it
Speaker 1: and then just like a little bit of jam in
Speaker 1: the middle. It's like, you know, just like a snack cake.
Speaker 1: It's a snack cake. Yeah yeah, but it's sponge. It's
Speaker 1: sponge and I love it. And I got a jumbo
Speaker 1: pack when I was I saw one at the store
Speaker 1: and they never come in jumbo packs, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and I got them and I had
Speaker 1: one pack left last night, and I was trying to
Speaker 1: get my roommates to try it, and they were all
Speaker 1: roasting me about it, and so I sort of in
Speaker 1: protest eight five in a row, and I was so
Speaker 1: full of like sugar, red dye, puffy, yeah, fake marshmallow.
Speaker 1: It was so good. But so by the end of
Speaker 1: the film, I was like, oh man, it was one
Speaker 1: of those nights where I really wanted a little treat
Speaker 1: and I was trying to fill the void for so
Speaker 1: long with things that were almost quite right. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: an Spaune. Just a little update for everybody in the listeners.
Speaker 1: Please let me know if you like Spounge. I think
Speaker 1: this is one of those moments where you know, you
Speaker 1: have moments where you look and everybody around you disagrees,
Speaker 1: and you go, this is a way in which I
Speaker 1: am different than mankind. And one way in which I
Speaker 1: am different, and then I think my family is different.
Speaker 1: Is that I saw the box that said Sponge. I went,
Speaker 1: I'll be buying that. That looks fantastic. I'm interested where
Speaker 1: I'm finding. Almost every one of my peers goes, mm mmm.
Speaker 1: That sounds like some sort of science situation that you're
Speaker 1: not supposed to put in your body and I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not a memo.
Speaker 2: I forgot the letters in that order. Never had an
Speaker 2: impact on you.
Speaker 1: Only positive wow, Sponge, Sponge, and you were fine with that.
Speaker 1: I feel great about it. Sponge's the end of you wrote.
Speaker 1: I feel like if I had this dress it might
Speaker 1: change my lege. That dress, the red dress. I loved
Speaker 1: the cut of the dress. And I'm just like, I'm
Speaker 1: at a point in life right now where I'm like,
Speaker 1: will I ever look beautiful again? Like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: will there ever be a reasonable no?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I'm just working all the time
Speaker 1: in these stupid ways, and which is stupid because my
Speaker 1: life also has no sort of employment stability, so I
Speaker 1: could be doing the leisure thing. But I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm always just like sweating and paint clothes, and I
Speaker 1: just like, I I wonder if I'll ever be like
Speaker 1: and I've gone to weddings now and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: kind of looked okay for them, but like that was
Speaker 1: the one thing I'll like dress up for. Hmm, Well,
Speaker 1: I ever, I get that I truly look gorgeous and
Speaker 1: glamorous and well beautiful.
Speaker 2: You know again, it's really hard. We're in an era
Speaker 2: where we have to like bully our friends into a
Speaker 2: dress code so that we can look beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like because otherwise there's no reason.
Speaker 1: High school makes you think that there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot more formal occasions than that really are. And I
Speaker 1: think that we've gotten away from having a lot of
Speaker 1: formal occasions, which I think is in some ways cool,
Speaker 1: Like it's nice that we get to dress more casually
Speaker 1: at work and like that people are all together more comfortable.
Speaker 1: I was thinking the other day, like is it the
Speaker 1: pandemic that made us all just kind of go, I
Speaker 1: need to be more comfortable more of the time. I
Speaker 1: do like that, like a lot of comfort clothing is
Speaker 1: in But like, when would I ever wear that dress?
Speaker 1: If I were to wear that dress, everyone in my
Speaker 1: life would go, what the hell, We've never seen you
Speaker 1: look like this? And when I was growing up, I
Speaker 1: feel like I thought that I would be like in
Speaker 1: dresses more, or I did wear dresses more because a
Speaker 1: that was the style maybe like two thousand and seven
Speaker 1: for example, and then also just you have more occasions
Speaker 1: to sort of wear a little dress, where now I'm
Speaker 1: like I never do that, and when I do, I
Speaker 1: feel almost it feels strange to walk out and beware. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because everyone's like people he stuff, people have comments, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they say the wrong stuff, like men after a performance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just don't react right anyway. I guess that's so
Speaker 1: genuinely how I feel. Uh huh.
Speaker 2: You wrote, oh, and then we'll get to your earlier question,
Speaker 2: because I do want to discuss that. But you wrote
Speaker 2: tragic to learn I grew up to be one of
Speaker 2: the people in the white morph suits. Do you mean
Speaker 2: like assisting at an event?
Speaker 1: At the party, there's all these glamorous and interesting people,
Speaker 1: and then there's the people who were hired to perform,
Speaker 1: and they're on the stairs in these white morph suits.
Speaker 1: And when I was growing up, I would have gone,
Speaker 1: who the hell are those? But like, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: doing a lot in la Is. We're like hired to
Speaker 1: wear weird masks at parties what not. Always like yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been I didn't know this. We're like, I just
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the kind of gig I would
Speaker 1: be hired for. You are the white morph suit? Like
Speaker 1: of all the things I can relate to the most
Speaker 1: at this point in my life and not incredibly disappointing,
Speaker 1: like my life is. I'm very grateful for my life
Speaker 1: right now. Sure, many interesting things, but also like many
Speaker 1: things that are interest now that I'm like, actually, I'm
Speaker 1: an adult now. I'm looking around the I'm like, who
Speaker 1: do I relate to in this room? And it is
Speaker 1: the white morph suit entertainers who no one speaks to
Speaker 1: and they're getting paid to be there. That would be
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. Oh well.
Speaker 2: The person that I related most to in this movie
Speaker 2: was the manager in the scene where he's driving the
Speaker 2: car and she's like, Alex, wait, can you come with
Speaker 2: Now's like, yeah, sure, and the manager just goes, I
Speaker 2: can't come.
Speaker 1: That made me laugh so much. Yay, that was one
Speaker 1: of those moments of like, that was one of the
Speaker 1: funniest things I've seen in a movie. I can't come.
Speaker 2: I was like, Yes, that's that's where I'm at so often. Thanks,
Speaker 2: I can't make it.
Speaker 1: I'm super busy, I can't be there with my stuff.
Speaker 1: I can't come.
Speaker 2: And then yes, Sienna asked, have you ever sat on
Speaker 2: a waterbed? Him having a waterbed is one of.
Speaker 1: The funniest ye that they don't even acknowledge it's not
Speaker 1: commented on. It's just so funny. Someone will sit down and.
Speaker 2: Be like, yeah, I think I sat on a waterbed once.
Speaker 2: And it was in like the first grade because my
Speaker 2: friend's mom owned a waterbed.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: All of us were like, oh my god, that's so cool.
Speaker 2: But my friend was so stressed that it was gonna leak.
Speaker 2: She kept being like, guys, I think I feel a leak.
Speaker 2: We have to get out, and it sucked.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that her parents were like, do not play
Speaker 1: with the waterbed. I guess have you sat on a waterbed?
Speaker 1: I don't think I have. If we were talking about one,
Speaker 1: we're talking about what they were four, because I wonder
Speaker 1: if they're actually comfortable, Like I feel like lying on
Speaker 1: your side wouldn't be comfortable. I don't know would actually
Speaker 1: be comfortable. I think there's enough water that it would
Speaker 1: be because does it feel like your float? Is that
Speaker 1: the idea?
Speaker 2: I don't know, because we weren't allowed to lie down.
Speaker 1: You want to know. I do want to anybody own
Speaker 1: a waterbed. I haven't seen a waterbed in but god,
Speaker 1: I want to lie on. Also, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: often associated yeah with like ooh sexy, but doesn't it
Speaker 1: feel like it would be a difficult thing to be
Speaker 1: sort of hosting.
Speaker 2: Thought that during this movie. I mean, it makes sense
Speaker 2: that they bang under the piano instead of.
Speaker 1: You can't get like try to sit up like you'd
Speaker 1: be like flopping around. Yeah, yeah, and leverage stay in
Speaker 1: too fluid. I really had an episode of a podcast
Speaker 1: and then pop went in and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: What were you about to do? Whatever you just did?
Speaker 1: But worse, Leonna, Shall we move on to badges and trages? Yes,
Speaker 1: this is where it gives.
Speaker 2: Back to everyone, to badges and trages. Where we award
Speaker 2: badges for battles of the eighties has beens and trages
Speaker 2: for tight tight pants.
Speaker 1: Ha aw aw, you go ahead.
Speaker 2: I have badges for so many of the lines that
Speaker 2: made me giggle and I just rally through them. I
Speaker 2: love when they were doing pros and cons and the
Speaker 2: pro was, no matter what you do, in forty years,
Speaker 2: we'll both be dead.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: I love when her sister's trying to get a photo
Speaker 2: with him, and he and her sister and his manager
Speaker 2: are he and her and his manager are all just
Speaker 2: talking instead of having the photo taken. Her sister gets
Speaker 2: so fed up and she says, someone could have sculpted
Speaker 2: us in this time.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: I love thee and where he like winces a bit
Speaker 2: while he's walking and she's like are you okay and
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, it's just my pop hip. When Cora says,
Speaker 2: I want to show you the roof it's upstairs.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I loved core.
Speaker 2: And then the last one and this I have thought
Speaker 2: about since I first saw the movie and I think
Speaker 2: about it all the time. With him saying and although
Speaker 2: she thought the dahalay Lama was incredibly a llama.
Speaker 1: She's actually quite the romantic. I was quoting that to
Speaker 1: myself last time. Is absolutely how you speak. It's incredibly
Speaker 1: a lama a llama.
Speaker 2: I think that's it. I think the intonation. There's something
Speaker 2: about the way that you totally no, you're a little quippy.
Speaker 2: You're quippy, and as thank you you're quippy, I'm quirky.
Speaker 1: I think I just wanted you to say that you're
Speaker 1: incredibly quippy. Of course. Oh when people ask why you're
Speaker 1: in London, I'm like, hey, she loves it. She loves nature.
Speaker 1: It's totally her. But also she just speaks like a
Speaker 1: British person she's supposed to be there. Her comedy is British.
Speaker 2: When people here ask me, they're like, but isn't American
Speaker 2: comedy very different from British? Like why are you doing
Speaker 2: stand up over here? I haven't been able to explain it,
Speaker 2: and thank you that is I'll just say that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I talk British.
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, you do. You have the they're they're
Speaker 1: like they do. They have a certain way of Alama,
Speaker 1: they're they're they're comedy. We all know it. That's why
Speaker 1: we all are obsessed with it. Mama, you got it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks mama.
Speaker 1: My favorite line in this movie, ye was but his
Speaker 1: managers like they're talking about the shows he has lined up,
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, well the nut's very farm one.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. It canceled. And he looks at
Speaker 1: him and he goes, not very canceled, so earnest, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not spury canceled, just like the lowest moment. I feel
Speaker 1: this way so much of the time, Like when I
Speaker 1: applied to be when I applied to be like a
Speaker 1: children's to like take care of like the kids at
Speaker 1: an American history museum, and I was like, I teach
Speaker 1: puppets to kids and I'm American, this America, American study
Speaker 1: in American studies, and they rejected me. And I was like,
Speaker 1: not Spury canceled.
Speaker 2: Yes, Now, anytime a role comes up that you're perfect for,
Speaker 2: it's no.
Speaker 1: Not Spary canceled. That can't be. How can that be?
Speaker 2: I applied to write the historical context for the programs
Speaker 2: for shows at the National Theater in London and I
Speaker 2: didn't even get an interview. And I knew somebody who
Speaker 2: works there or a friend of a friend know someone
Speaker 2: who was able to pass my resume.
Speaker 1: No, not Spury canceled. I didn't even get an email back,
Speaker 1: Like I go to a personal it's so messed up,
Speaker 1: so messed up by can cancer not Spury? I love
Speaker 1: that bonding question of the perfect fit for one did
Speaker 1: not Spury cancel? Yeah, one did not Spury cancel. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: Leanna more badges.

Speaker 2: I just love I love his delivery style.
Speaker 1: I really love it. Badge for the opening music video.
Speaker 1: Dancing starting a movie with a music video is so cute. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And it was the whole music video, which I love
Speaker 1: it goes mad. There's a moment in it where there's
Speaker 1: he's just had his like heart event, his cardiac event
Speaker 1: in the hallway and he and the other guy are
Speaker 1: looking into the camera and singing, pop goes my heart
Speaker 1: and you can tell that Hugh Grant is laughing.
Speaker 2: That's so cute, and I'm like, I love that they know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I've figured out this is very binary, and
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. But in the society we live in
Speaker 1: when they are portrayed, when we portray men and women
Speaker 1: on the screen, I love when women are freakish and
Speaker 1: men are silly, two things I will forever, forever love.
Speaker 2: The two genders, freakish and silly. Oh a badge for
Speaker 2: the running piano bit where Drew Barrymore is always putting
Speaker 2: something on his piano and he's always taking it off.
Speaker 1: That sian. That's very unfortunately. I don't mean to be
Speaker 1: a but like when quirky girls are just like bad
Speaker 1: like that's that's me. Like when they're doing things wrong,
Speaker 1: when they're doing things wrong every day wake up and
Speaker 1: I assume I'm doing like so many things wrong, and
Speaker 1: I usually am, oh god, it's your turn. Oh, badge
Speaker 1: for badge for wow, I did not write good badges.
Speaker 1: This is terrible badge for the two thousand and seven
Speaker 1: fashion throwback. And also there was something quite quaint about it.
Speaker 1: The scarves, the scar the far side, the headbands. This
Speaker 1: was like middle school huge necklace and yeah, long necklaces.
Speaker 1: Loved it.
Speaker 2: A badge for her hair looks good from the front
Speaker 2: but not the back, and I loved that that was
Speaker 2: very humanizing. They're seated at lunch or breakfast or something,
Speaker 2: and she's got the classic like rom Com soft wave
Speaker 2: curl beach waves. Yeah, I guess I actually don't know
Speaker 2: a beach wave looks like, but it's that like very smooth, yeah,
Speaker 2: but soft curl, and it's very voluminous at the front.
Speaker 2: And then there's a shot of her from the back
Speaker 2: and you can tell that they've kind of taken all
Speaker 2: of her hair and put it in front of her
Speaker 2: shoulders so that her hair looks super voluminous yeah, from
Speaker 2: the front, and then it's like a straight little strip
Speaker 2: of hair at the back. And I was like, yes,
Speaker 2: this is cinema. This is this is womanhood. To be
Speaker 2: a woman is to perform ha this is the realist
Speaker 2: moment in a film. One little that I've seen in months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little rat tail in the back.
Speaker 2: I just we need to admit that we look best
Speaker 2: with all of our hair shoved to the front of
Speaker 2: our body, and no one should look at us from the.
Speaker 1: Badge should look at the back. Yeah, I'm too terrified
Speaker 1: to see that. Most of the time. I wrote badge
Speaker 1: for Matthew Morrison. Lol, just hilarious to see him.
Speaker 2: My final badge I loved so many quotes. My final
Speaker 2: badge beside all the quotes that I loved is a
Speaker 2: badge for her shirt and necklace combo that she wears
Speaker 2: to the concert. It's this very gorgeous, like silk dark
Speaker 2: green shirt that's a really nice cut and has a long,
Speaker 2: tasteful necklace huh with it, And I was like, I
Speaker 2: would absolutely wear that.
Speaker 1: I love that my final badge. For the end credits,
Speaker 1: those were so cute. I really enjoyed the final little
Speaker 1: like blurbs that they were doing with the music video.
Speaker 1: I thought that was hilarious. That was really fun, very clever.
Speaker 1: Yay trages. Trag is.
Speaker 2: A trage for it's annoying how hesitant she is this
Speaker 2: job it's really annoying even with her like trauma, yeah,
Speaker 2: her writer's block, trauma.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, rejecting a job that fell out of the sky.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Absolutely not trage for you're like cole Porter
Speaker 1: and panties that sucked. I hate that. I was like,
Speaker 1: love this, love this. Oh, don't talk about my underwear.
Speaker 1: And also that's just not something you should say.
Speaker 2: Trage for they didn't eat their breakfast when she's like,
Speaker 2: I want to go get breakfast, and then that's where
Speaker 2: she dumps about her trauma.
Speaker 1: Hate. They leave without having eaten the breakfast. I hate
Speaker 1: on TV when they don't eat the food. Let her eat.
Speaker 1: Trag for the weight loss through line. It could. I
Speaker 1: will say it didn't come up that much, but for yeah,
Speaker 1: she works at this weight loss place. And then just
Speaker 1: a couple of times he says something about like I
Speaker 1: have aformed at a fat farm.
Speaker 3: Once you're just like, oh, yeah, I similarly have a
Speaker 3: trage for a society's approach to fatness.
Speaker 1: Ye generally yeah, especially at this the fat phobia undertones
Speaker 1: trage for all the appropriation. Again, we discussed it a
Speaker 1: bit earlier, but it's like, this is a perfect example
Speaker 1: of what appropriation is, which is what they're making fun of.
Speaker 1: I don't think they had quite words for it at
Speaker 1: the time. It felt very of its time, sort of tragic,
Speaker 1: like not sure we're actually working on making progress with this. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: a trage for Okay, a badge because I think as
Speaker 1: if Manvia is so funny in this as the person
Speaker 1: who works in the lobby of their building, but a
Speaker 1: trag for they make him do like a very stereotypical accent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was really too bad. Trag for. This is
Speaker 1: actually unforgivable what he's saying to her when they had
Speaker 1: that fight. Yeah, he was like, you're exactly like what
Speaker 1: that guy said about you in the book. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: would be like, yeah, can we just say, anybody listening
Speaker 1: to this who might be in a relationship with that
Speaker 1: kind of thing might have been said to you at
Speaker 1: any point, anything that hurtful going for the jugular. That
Speaker 1: is such an unloving thing to do. You have to
Speaker 1: question that person's character to the very core, because damn
Speaker 1: what who I can't believe he said that to her,
Speaker 1: and obviously he took it back later, but like, absolutely not.
Speaker 2: Something is so wrong with me because I'm like oh,
Speaker 2: I get it. I would have said that too, Like
Speaker 2: she spent so like half the days that they had
Speaker 2: to work on this, like hemming and hawing. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: now she's backing out at the last second and he
Speaker 2: needs this so badly.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, it did. It was hurtful and hateful.
Speaker 1: It was I will say it was so unprofessional. Just
Speaker 1: suck it up her. Yeah, her behavior. Yeah, I definitely
Speaker 1: hated that. But going for what she said, She's like,
Speaker 1: by the way, the one thing I'm really really, really
Speaker 1: really hurt by is a specific thing and he's like, hmm,
Speaker 1: guess what you're hurting me. So I'm gonna say that
Speaker 1: one thing that's unforgivable and she's like, please don't and
Speaker 1: he's like, no, I'm saying yeah, yeah, that was that
Speaker 1: was bad.
Speaker 2: My final trage is I googled it and there is
Speaker 2: a fourteen year age difference between these actors.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was. How old was she in this?
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's sixty three now and she's forty nine.
Speaker 2: So the maths of whatever that makes them in two
Speaker 2: thousand and seven.
Speaker 1: Why, oh okay, I just thought another trage trage for
Speaker 1: when when she goes the sister goes, I'm your older sister,
Speaker 1: and then she goes seven years old years older.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what it was two thousand and seven being an
Speaker 2: old woman, being an old woman, being a woman over
Speaker 2: thirty at all was insane and it was a real
Speaker 2: weapon to remind us of anybody of that.
Speaker 1: But why would you even I just didn't understand why
Speaker 1: it was relevant.
Speaker 2: It's not relevant. I think it's just one of those
Speaker 2: things that siblings do where they know it'll annoy the
Speaker 2: other person, so they just.
Speaker 1: Like do it. That's so weird. I hated that, And
Speaker 1: my final trage is just the singer being super sexed
Speaker 1: up because it's her idea. If they really wanted to
Speaker 1: be critical of the industry, it would have been fun
Speaker 1: if they're like, well, we have to sell stuff, so
Speaker 1: she's gonna do her dance thing, you know, like, well,
Speaker 1: if you want to really sell, then we should have
Speaker 1: her do a little dance, right right, you know right,
Speaker 1: Which is like.
Speaker 2: If they were trying to like empower her and be like, no,
Speaker 2: it's not it's too dark. If we have it be
Speaker 2: the industry forcing her to that's the thing.
Speaker 1: To want to dance, and I don't want to say, like,
Speaker 1: plenty of performers obviously own their sexuality, and like this
Speaker 1: totally she wants to dance and this could be like
Speaker 1: her aesthetic, but yeah, just like it's just so. I
Speaker 1: guess in the last few years, I've become so aware
Speaker 1: of the way that them because I used to be
Speaker 1: like not know anything about the music industry. And I
Speaker 1: remember somebody saying something about, like female artists have to
Speaker 1: do ten times as much as like a male artist.
Speaker 1: Like a male artist can get on stage and literally
Speaker 1: just sing, and female artists have like put their legs
Speaker 1: behind their head and like do a flip and like
Speaker 1: do aerial silks and wear a super sparky health to
Speaker 1: just sing their little song and then also have an
Speaker 1: amazing voice. And that's just what we expect from them.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, you're right, and
Speaker 1: now I can't unsee it.
Speaker 2: And one of my favorite tiktoks is a guy talking
Speaker 2: about Pink and like her crazy aerial performances that she does,
Speaker 2: and he's Scottish and he goes, I don't like to
Speaker 2: be overly critical of performers, but Pink, get done, get done,
Speaker 2: get done.
Speaker 1: She is She's just flying around get done. That's so funny,
Speaker 1: don't anyway anyway, Yes, she could be as an artist
Speaker 1: wanting to own her sexuality and this is her aesthetic
Speaker 1: and everything. But I feel like these are the little
Speaker 1: things where it becomes a bit where like the parodying
Speaker 1: of stuff and like like like the essence of parody,
Speaker 1: like the South Parks and everything they'll make fun of,
Speaker 1: like the artists themselves, where it's like this isn't an
Speaker 1: individual's chore, like this is the industry, Like don't blame
Speaker 1: the women. I just I could just feel the like
Speaker 1: blaming of women for so long of the like total well,
Speaker 1: she's a sex symber, like you know how Britney Spears
Speaker 1: wanted to because that's like what it's making fun of, right,
Speaker 1: It's like Britney Spears like wanted to take her boobs
Speaker 1: out and it's like absolutely not. It was all the
Speaker 1: men around her, like she likes doing her things and
Speaker 1: she loves to dance, but like, yeah, everybody's society being
Speaker 1: weird about it.
Speaker 2: It very much shows that we were still decades away
Speaker 2: from the reckoning that we did about what we did
Speaker 2: to Brittany.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly. So I just felt a societal traged that
Speaker 1: we weren't like obviously talking about that, but all that said,
Speaker 1: Core was very hilarious. Yes, well, Leana Shell and move
Speaker 1: on to her next segment, which is, of course, how
Speaker 1: to pretend you've seen this film? Do we have to? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think we literally do. I'm just gonna look up
Speaker 1: some trivia on this movie.
Speaker 2: This is for Uh, you are at a concert, you
Speaker 2: are seeing Doja Cat? Huh and Matthew Matthew woreris and
Speaker 2: he says, hey you go ah.
Speaker 1: He goes, hey, sorry, I've noticing that you're enjoying this music.
Speaker 1: I've actually been in a lot of musicals and musical media,
Speaker 1: but there's one that actually had a concertant that you
Speaker 1: may have seen it. I don't know if you liked
Speaker 1: me in it.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: It's called Music and Lyrics? Did you? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with it?
Speaker 2: And in order to make Matthew take his final bow,
Speaker 2: we're going to give you a few sentences you can
Speaker 2: say to pretend you've seen the film Music and Lyrics. Yes, Matthew,
Speaker 2: I've seen Music and Lyrics? Oh what Doja Cat's coming on?
Speaker 1: Now? Gary, I'm going out?
Speaker 2: And her sister says that at the very beginning, because
Speaker 2: she's like, oh, Alex Fletcher invited me to see him performing.
Speaker 1: It, Gary, Gary, I'm going out. I loved her sister
Speaker 1: in this. Yeah, me too. I love her too. I
Speaker 1: could have sculpted us by now. Yes, Matthew Morrison, I've
Speaker 1: seen music and lyrics. Fun fact. Fun fact. Hugh Grant
Speaker 1: at first didn't want to sing, but then he trained
Speaker 1: got really into it and was like this is so
Speaker 1: fun and decided to perform the big concert scene live,
Speaker 1: and then when they played it back, he was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this sounds horrible, and so they did a pre recorded version.
Speaker 1: But it seems like he was very amused by it all.
Speaker 1: So I love that for him. That's really funny.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 2: Matthew Morrison is still talking away, but I see that
Speaker 2: Dojakat is coming towards us, and I asked for a
Speaker 2: photo and she says, only if you're single, and I say, well,
Speaker 2: I've been married sixteen years. But nothing's written in the show, right.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love when she's like take them in,
Speaker 1: take the kids inside, and he's like, but should love you,
Speaker 1: and she's like, good man, take them inside, but you're
Speaker 1: a good man. I love you? How hard is it?
Speaker 1: You go? You said she was so awesome.
Speaker 2: You go, you walk, you sit. I liked their dynamic,
Speaker 2: her and her husband.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what the heck? Yes, Matthew Morrison, I've seen uh
Speaker 1: music and lyrics. Fun fact, as a child, Hugh Grant
Speaker 1: took piano lessons from Andrew Lloyd Webber's mother. Oh that's
Speaker 1: so funny. But he forgot to play piano later, so
Speaker 1: he couldn't play it in this. He had to like
Speaker 1: pretend Andreloid webba so ando web I guess he was
Speaker 1: just a community member. That's so funny. Wait, so did
Speaker 1: he like hung out around like angrelaid Webber's house. I
Speaker 1: wonder how old she was Weber?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder hold Androloid Webber is as well.
Speaker 1: I think he's so old, isn't he like so old?
Speaker 1: I think he's maybe in his seventy Oh that's not
Speaker 1: that old. He's seventy six. Wow, I thought he. I
Speaker 1: thought he had to be like one hundred and five.
Speaker 1: But I guess I'm thinking of his mother. She's probably
Speaker 1: around one hundred and five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Matthew Morrison, I've seen music and lyrics, and
Speaker 2: I've also seen Glee, and I think you just need
Speaker 2: to leave people alone for a little bit. I know
Speaker 2: I have amazing insight. I would use it on myself only.
Speaker 2: I don't have any problem.
Speaker 1: Yes, Matthew Morrison, I've seen music and lyrics as we presumed.
Speaker 1: Cora Coorman is based on Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad they made Kora. I'm glad they made Kora
Speaker 1: likable and not just like yeah totally, you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I love that she was never like a villain character
Speaker 1: or anything like that, because people hate women like that.
Speaker 1: Could have really that could have really been bad, dangerous territory. Well, Leanna,
Speaker 1: shall we move on to our next segment, which is,
Speaker 1: of course should you watch this or where we tell
Speaker 1: you I should watch this film, or if you should
Speaker 1: spend your time doing something else? What do you think?
Speaker 2: Look, I think this movie is fun and silly, and
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the lines in it are
Speaker 2: very funny and I was laughing out loud. It's not
Speaker 2: perfect and oh do you know what? Okay, if you
Speaker 2: need a different rom com that's more Madrin and feels
Speaker 2: like a refreshing oh yeah, but still follows comfortingly a formula.
Speaker 2: You could watch Starstruck. I'm sure I've recommended it before.
Speaker 2: It literally show Starstruck on HBO. Oh, it's such a
Speaker 2: cute show, very cute show, very rom com vibes, British
Speaker 2: talking about celebrity, celebrity.
Speaker 3: Yes, I love that.
Speaker 1: Wow, it really is a very similar comparison. Nice, so good, Seanna,
Speaker 1: what would you say? I have some recommendations for what
Speaker 1: you could watch of a similar vibe. I think this
Speaker 1: movie was really funny and cute, But if you wanted
Speaker 1: to watch some other things, if you want to do
Speaker 1: the opposite of cultural appropriation of South Asian cultures. I
Speaker 1: really liked the documentary The Problem with a Poo. And
Speaker 1: if you're like, oh, I want to learn more about
Speaker 1: like why this feels kind of messed up? Is it
Speaker 1: really that big of a deal talking about like sort
Speaker 1: of the like South Asian representation in Hollywood. M hm h,
Speaker 1: then you can watch You can watch that documentary is
Speaker 1: really entertaining. Also, if you want to watch something about
Speaker 1: celebrity that's making fun of celebrity, you could watch the
Speaker 1: show The Other Two that was so funny. I was
Speaker 1: thinking about it when they were doing it. When they
Speaker 1: were doing like buddhast Delight and stuff like, or when
Speaker 1: I was thinking about how I wish they talked about
Speaker 1: her being sexualized, like who cares about sex selling? Mm
Speaker 1: hmmmm hmmm. And the final show you could watch if
Speaker 1: you want more Matthew Morrison is the show Glee. No,
Speaker 1: but that one is probably the most problematic of them
Speaker 1: all anyway, Cursed. If you want a problematic watch, how
Speaker 1: would you rate to the film music and lyrics? I
Speaker 1: would give music and lyrics three point five mashed potatoes
Speaker 1: out of five. It was so dumb. I like there
Speaker 1: were times where I was watching it where I felt embarrassed, wow,
Speaker 1: because I was like, this is just so it's like
Speaker 1: cringey in like a fun rom com way. But on
Speaker 1: top of that, I will say, it's also really clever
Speaker 1: and cute and like there's it's more than just like
Speaker 1: like we're talking about like an AI rom com. It's
Speaker 1: like a step above that in a really fun way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like a perfect thing to watch with your
Speaker 1: family type of vibe. Yeah, it was cute, Yes, Leonna,
Speaker 1: what about yourself?
Speaker 2: I would give music and lyrics four tight pants out
Speaker 2: of five. Uh, it's so fun to watch you Grant
Speaker 2: do a little day. Yeah, gosh, there's kind of nothing
Speaker 2: like it. Yeah, I love watching that. A lot of
Speaker 2: the lines, the little quips I love. Oh, I love
Speaker 2: a little quip so much, And there were one thousand
Speaker 2: in this. It was mostly little quips. Yeah, it really
Speaker 2: was a little quip than it is human interaction. And
Speaker 2: that's fine by me.
Speaker 1: I don't really need much in the way of conversation.
Speaker 1: And I think to your point about like AI rom
Speaker 1: coms versus this one, the leads in this at least
Speaker 1: felt like it was fun to watch them interact with
Speaker 1: each other, and there was some sort of like spark
Speaker 1: between the two of them and fun to watch them
Speaker 1: bounce off each other energetically, which you do not get
Speaker 1: I think in most modern rom coms. Yeah, it's just like,
Speaker 1: who are the hottest and most famous people right now?
Speaker 1: We'll just put them in a film together. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: not really, that's not working. Yeah, we don't have a
Speaker 1: Hugh Grant right now, like just a quippy man British man. Well,
