WEBVTT - F Boy Insurrection 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:04.760 You know what I did by this year that I 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:09.400 loved that changed me what my AMC Stubs rewards membership. 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:14.160 That's what I'm saying, Diva, That's what I'm saying. Welcome 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:22.520 to the family. Welcome to Nicole Kidman's family. We are 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:27.440 almost at the end of Thank God, not that this 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.080 was a bad not that this was a bad year, 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.000 but like it just was a long year. I in, 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.800 you know, looking back at the year because spoiler alert 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.640 virgins today we're doing the best of two episode and 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.240 looking back at this year, I just realized some things 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:49.680 that I thought happened in or even were truly like 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.080 six months ago. I had that experience when I saw 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:57.480 my Spotify rapped this year, which did unfortunately have Catwalk 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.640 by RuPaul, And I remember, like I at that and 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:05.120 I was like Catwalk came out this year, Like that 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:10.759 made me feel ancient. Um, anyways, yeah, this year did 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.720 really like crawl by musically, whether were there any like 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.720 I mean we've talked about like a lot of our 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.640 favorite albums, our favorite artists like from the year, um 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.600 standing out to you, like who was the artist or 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.520 album that like defined your year, Like who were the 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.400 who was the first person that stuck out of your mind. 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.840 Two was about her, because of course it was at her. Yeah, 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.080 of course it was that. I mean there, if we're 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.640 if we're you know, using Spotify wrapped data and also 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.400 my own internal data, there are were no men present anywhere. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.320 Um yeah, I mean for me obviously we have talked 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.800 about at length on the podcast. Ethel Can really ruled 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.559 especially the second half of my year because I didn't 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.800 listen to Preacher's Daughter until pretty late in the summer 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.120 and then was immediately evangelized by it. I mean, funnily enough, 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:10.600 considering you know, like the evangelical overtones of the whole album. UM. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.320 And yeah, I mean we we've talked a lot about, 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.280 you know, kind of the big albums for us this year, 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:24.400 which were you know, Preacher's Daughter, Renaissance UM, thena album 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:29.880 Willows Coping Mechanism which I was obsessed with, UM, Dance 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.800 Fever from Florence the Machine was a big one for 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.280 me this year, and also the live version of it 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.680 that she released from her concert at Madison Square Garden. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.880 I've listened to a lot um some albums that I 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.120 didn't really talk about on the podcast this year where 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.640 I really liked Laurel Hell by Mitski Um. It actually 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.680 was the album that made me like Mitski who for 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.640 a very long time, I just didn't really funk with Um. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.720 And then more recently I I have always kind of 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:06.680 liked to Below, but never like listened to her music 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.600 like fanatically or anything. But after Spotify Wrapped came out, 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:16.240 my friend Ryan told me that her song No One 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.960 Dies from Love was his number one UM song on 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.240 his Spotify Wrapped. So I started listening to her album 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.080 Dirt Fem, which came out this summer, and I am 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.200 totally obsessed with it. It's so good. I'm still especially 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.880 I'm still in shocking that that's how you pronounce it. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:39.560 It's it does um. Yeah, this song No One Dies 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.920 from Love amazing, has a great music video. Grapefruit is 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.600 like a banger about eating disorders, which no really, Oh 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.080 yeah you told me about this. That's a deep cut 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.600 that's like really raw material to to like kind of 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.280 dissect and then crank through. I guess a pop music 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:02.800 machine like that's yonderful arts. It's a very fun dance album. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.080 Was like some really good songwriting on it. Um. Also, 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.080 I did did Charlie x C x's album come out 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.800 this year or was that last year? That was this year? Yeah, 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.440 with Charlie xc X and Motemmmy came out around the 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.040 same time. That was definitely a big moment, which one 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.640 obviously obviously Scissa, which we talked about last week. Great 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.280 year for music. Anything else on your radar this year 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.440 that we haven't really talked about. Um No, you've named 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:34.320 four of my top five, which were Muna Preacher's Daughter, Renaissance, 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.760 the Willow album, and then Sissa, which wasn't on your 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.760 tops the newsas album I think is just immediately I'm like, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.680 that's going to be a standout from the year for 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.800 me and we'll go deep into next year, the same 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.520 way Adele's album, released at the end of last year 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.719 went deep into the next year for me. Yeah. I 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.840 for me, like Willow was like the underappreciated thing of 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.520 the year. Like I did not see any blogs talking 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.159 about coping mechanism. I have not heard people talking about it. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.119 I'm like making people listening to this listen to this album. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.160 I dropped someone off at the airport and we listened 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.040 to the album all the way through and they loved it, 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.960 And like I yeah, I'm just like always I want 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.400 more people to listen to what I feel like is 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.240 willows best work. So if you liked the Willow TikTok song, 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.240 go listen to Coping mechanism Um. And then I think 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:27.040 Ethel Caine, who I discovered this year through you, really 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.000 also just defined the year. Like I knew immediately that 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.479 she was going to emerge as like this like favorite 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.440 Internet celebrity. Like she has the makeup of so many 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.479 things that we want in a public figure, which is 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.200 that she doesn't care about being a public figure and 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.320 isn't interested in like the varnish of like what celebrity 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.040 comes with in America, and like, but she's still you know, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.080 looks she's still really fucking funny, really down to earth, 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.520 and she looks great into things she's being styled in 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.600 in these photo shoots were seeing so and she's so 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.640 good at the Internet. I just love. Yeah. What I 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.880 also really appreciate about her is, like I've noticed, especially 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.400 recently as she has been ending up on a lot 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:12.039 of these end of Your lists, is she cares really 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.840 deeply about the way that her art is perceived and 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:19.400 has been spending a lot of time online calling people 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.919 out or calling them in or whatever, like trying to 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.680 educate them about her music and what they might have 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.480 missed in it. And like the fact that you know, 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.160 American Teenager is like not supposed to be this like 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.760 glorification of Americana and if like and if you see 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.560 it that way, then you're really missing the point of 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.520 her album listening. And and even though American Teenager was 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.520 my top played song on Spotify this year, I have 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:52.279 to say that my actual favorite song of two is 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.760 definitely Thoroughfare. I think it's like my two top songs 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.200 of two on very different sides of the spectrum our 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.040 Thoroughfare and Alien Superstar. Like that is that is the pairing. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.360 I honestly, god, I didn't even think about best song 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:12.320 in preparation for this for this episode. Um, Thoroughfare definitely 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.880 is is like up there. It was something that I 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.680 just returned to and played over and over and over 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:24.000 again and couldn't stop. I think that, like I I 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.960 actually don't. I wonder if like ethel is actually on 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:31.120 like you know, year end like best of list, because wow, 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.360 I'm seeing like on a lot of like people's timelines, 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.160 But like I feel like she a lot of critics 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.080 did not like the album because like the songs were 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.000 too long, and ship she was on Pitchfork, she was 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.200 on Rolling Stone. I think American Teenager was on either 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.240 either Pitchwork or Rolling Stone. It was like the number 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:54.440 eleven song of two Wow. I honestly never I never 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.600 would have guessed, but I'm like really happy for it, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:01.760 and like, yeah, I um I. The one that comes 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:06.360 to mind is um Jody. It was like one of 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:11.440 those controlled deluxe songs that I just played over and 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.960 over and over and over again UM on SoundCloud and 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.080 on Spotify, and UM, I don't know, like there's something 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.600 about the kind of like whimsical and like blowing through 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.280 the winds like quality of that song that like I 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.720 really felt like. UM. I wouldn't say an anthem for 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.280 the year because it's not anthemic at all, but a thematically, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.520 I was like, this is what the year feels like. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.360 I think that like runners High was also one of 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.600 those songs where I was like, the year feels like 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.440 runners High, which to me is like a standout from 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.120 the whole Moon album. UM. And also I Guess He Did, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:51.840 which is like the meme song an amazing, amazing UM 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.880 One of one more recent edition for me is um 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.680 Spitting Off the Edge of the World from Yea Yea's 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.160 album that they released in September, which is the song 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.439 they did with Perfume Genius, an album that even though 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:08.920 I'm like lifelong yeah yeah, yeahs UM fanatic, I didn't 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.600 really listen to until a while after it had come out. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.640 But it's an amazing album. Um. I have to say 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.000 that Midnights did not make it into my top albums 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.800 of the year, even though obviously I have been listening 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:29.319 to it pretty NonStop since it came out, and like somehow, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.240 like in the in the two weeks between it coming 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.320 out and when Spotify stopped collecting data for Wrapped it, 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.360 like it would be found its way into my you know, 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:43.880 top songs. It you know, like we've we've already had 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.480 the discussion about it. But it as much as I 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.200 like it, these other albums we've been talking about and 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.760 songs we've been talking about were just better. I feel like, 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.120 you know, would have could have should have like maybe 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.480 would be on like my top I was gonna say 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.880 top twenty five, but maybe like top fifty for the here. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.120 But yeah, I just the album did not did not 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.040 do it for me at all, and I honestly ended 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.000 up muting a lot of the songs on Spotify because 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.840 the algorithm was feeding me too much midnights and I 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.400 was like, I actually don't I don't want to listen 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.760 to this again. Um, Karma, I think it's just like it. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.040 It feels like a song of the year to me, 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.640 even though I didn't love it that much, just because 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.040 it did really fit the vibe. It's a song that 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:30.480 we all emotionally, if not comically, like attached to. And UM, 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.240 I think pulled a lot of like the things that 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.360 it's just like a very millennial song that I think 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.800 that we latch onto that I can at least commend 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.199 for being a really perfect pop song. UM. Okay, Well 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.720 what about what about like movies? Do you have favored 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.520 movies of the year. Yes, Um, A lot of which 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.760 we've already talked about. Um, I think Tars one of 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.839 the best movies of the year. Um, Downtown Abbey and 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.959 New Era is still reign supreme as my favorite movie 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:07.640 of two alongside Mrs Harris Goes to Paris. I'm not trolling. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.120 I'm not saying it's the best. I'm saying it's my 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:15.320 favorite and that is your favorite difference Difference Yes, and 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.600 Orphan First Kill. I really enjoyed. It was one of 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.120 the one of the most fun movie experiences I had 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.960 this year. X and Pearl were both great. Top Gun 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:33.000 Maverick and then a more recent edition obviously Everything Everywhere, 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.640 All at Once, Um, and then a more recent edition 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.000 Avatar The Way of Water fucking slapped it was. It 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.200 was incredible, takes the cake and UM, I think I 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.520 can say this by the time this episode has come out, 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.800 because it will be out. But Matilda the Musical, which 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.760 is I believe out now on Netflix, is really good. 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.360 I cried multiple times while watching it. I'm excited to 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.400 see it. Um. I feel like I saw the original 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:06.199 Broadway version of Matilda, but I don't remember why or how. Um. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.000 The only movie that I really, you know, thought to 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.240 write down for the best of the year is Everything Everywhere, 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.319 All at Once, Like that is a movie that you know, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.760 we There's nothing I have to add to the conversation 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.160 outside of the fact that it's just like a movie 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.679 that is invested in like pleasure and invested in storytelling 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.719 and in marginalized storytelling, but like at the end of 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.600 the day, it's about like pleasure and fun and adventure 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.199 and like action. And I thought that that was like 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.600 a kind of stark difference between people that love. When 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.199 people talk about this movie in relation to Tar and 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.520 how Michelle ye Out and Capelin Chedd are up against 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:50.320 each other for best Actress, it's like Tar. I also adored, adored, adored, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:56.200 but it was not necessarily an overall pleasurable experience. Like 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.400 I didn't enjoy it. And this is just me personally. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.400 I didn't enjoy all three hour res of it. I 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.120 you know, felt like it was art that I was 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:09.000 consuming and digesting and muscling through, where something like everything everywhere, 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.640 all at once had the art while championing entertainment um 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.800 and and me being entertained in the seat. And I 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.280 think that's something that just on on a personal taste level, 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.000 you know, me, I'm always going to be uh, I 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.200 want I want style and I want substance. But I like, 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.480 at the end of the day, I want to make 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.199 sure I'm having fun. Um interesting to that effect or 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:31.679 what do you want to say to that? Well, I 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.560 just I guess that the further away I get from 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.360 the experience of seeing Everything Everywhere, All at Once in 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.360 a theater. I'm not as kind of gob smacked by 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.560 it as I was initially, Like, Yes, I think Michell 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.800 Yo is incredible in it. I think Stephanie Shoe is amazing. Um, 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:53.719 the guy who plays the dad also incredible. I think, like, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.160 if I revisited again, maybe I'll have better language to 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.120 put this in. But I like, I don't know, let's 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.319 just say this. I think Tar is a better movie 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.320 than Everything Everywhere, All at Once. And it's and it's 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.200 certainly like for my taste, just a movie I enjoyed more, 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.880 you know. And they're two, and they're totally different films. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.720 If I'm going to exactly they're totally different films. If 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.360 I'm going to be extremely truthful, I'm going to kind 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.920 of agree with you a little bit and say that 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.160 Tar put the pieces of the plot together in a 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.320 way that was like had a mastery that was that 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.280 that everything everywhere was not that interested in, right the 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.200 the Daniels, I think we're really invested in like experimentation, 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.280 and so components of plot and character development were kind 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.680 of put on the side to prioritize action, right And 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.360 I And so I do actually agree with that, and 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.480 I also, if I'm going to be really hairy, I 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.920 will say, just on an awards level, that what Kate 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:57.680 does in Tar is something that the Oscars will adore 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.640 and love and prioritize more than what Michelle Yo did, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.800 which was, to me, on the performance level, extremely different. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.200 But if I'm evaluating it all my own, kind of 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:14.080 like metric, I feel what Michelle did was triumphant and 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.120 a retrospective of her work that was long deserved, and 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.480 I think that added thematic meaning to her performance that 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.600 was at the end of the day, more powerful than 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.040 what Kate did. But again I'm just like being kind 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.840 of no. I I agree, and I think you're right, 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.840 And I think when I think it is extremely likely 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:38.200 that Michelle Yo will win Best Actress at the Oscars, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.800 I think it's deserved. I don't think it's necessarily deserved 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.520 just on the merits of her performance in the film. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.520 I do think, as you said, it's about her career. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.320 It's about her getting this recognition that she's long deserved, 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.920 especially when cape Lynchett literally already has two Oscars, like 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.800 she doesn't need it. But for my taste level, like 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.160 I enjoyed her performance more and and I think Tar 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:07.800 just does more with its premise than Everything Everywhere All 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:12.160 It Once does. Like I actually kind of the again, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.160 Like the further I get away from it, the more 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.800 I wish that Everything Everywhere All at Once had like 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:22.600 doubled down on its own world building and Tar, like, 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.480 obviously it's not like a sci fi movie, but it 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.720 is so deeply entrenched in it in the world that 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.080 it builds, And I just it's just more my taste 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:36.119 as a movie. But they're both fantastic films, both fantastic performances, 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.960 quite amazing actresses, and like, who cares about awards anyway, 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.120 But it was a great ear for the movies. Yeah, 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.000 who cares about a war? It's funny, Like you say, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.040 Michelle Yo, It's like, is she She's it's extremely likely 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:48.920 that she'll win, but like, I feel like it's more 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.000 likely that Kate's gonna win because she I think in Tar, 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.920 she has there's more to observe on the level of 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.640 like her as an actor, maybe even but like, but 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:07.120 we see this happen with with awards and that it 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.399 really is especially the voter when you think about the 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:16.360 voting body of the Academy especially like it is Michelle's time. Yeah, 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.360 it is she's I think she's I think she's going 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.960 to win, unless like they split the vote and Michelle 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.000 Williams wins for the Fableman's which I don't think it's 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.800 going to happen. Because I hear that I haven't seen it. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.280 I'm not going to. But I hear that it's a 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.600 very insufferable movie. I believe it. I okay, I have 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.119 to say, you know it just with other movies. I 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.919 you know, when I was trying to pull together, like 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.240 what my list of from the year, it's evident that, 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.399 like I'm really a girl that's like my favorite movie 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.400 is just like the last movie that I saw. And 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.680 I can't stop thinking about Triangle of Sadness. I really can't, 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.119 and I I I cannot wait for you to watch it. Actually, 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.959 it's like streamable now, maybe you should rent it. I 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.560 totally when you have three hours to three hours to 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.240 sit through it. It's the kind of movie that I'll 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.439 probably watch over since it's dreamable. I'll watch it in 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:12.000 two sittings maybe, yeah, yeah, wildly entertaining. You could watch 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.479 it in three. It's it's a three part movie and 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.480 each part really feels like a new movie. It's like 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.320 kind of how I feel about it. But I don't 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.359 think on the craft level that it was like the 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.240 best movie of two or whatever. But I think the 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.720 reason I say it's one of my favorites is because 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.800 it tried so many things that I had never seen 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:39.560 before that were subtle but still commentary successful while still 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.720 being like um rambunctious, like you know, not afraid to 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.840 make mistakes on like the storytelling, our character level, and 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.840 um just like image it like there's there's a set 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.160 piece in the middle of the film that I already 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.560 talked about you will love. Um. I can't stop thinking 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.080 about that movie. So definitely definitely a stand out for 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.399 me because I didn't actually think I was gonna like 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.680 it that much. Yeah, I was actually very surprised that 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.760 you loved it as much as you did. It just 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:05.760 felt like a movie I wanted to write, you know 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.840 what I mean. I think when you can see how 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.400 much fun the writers are having, which I think describes 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.200 a lot of things on our like movie and show 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.560 list this year. Um, that's like when I'm when I like, 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:35.000 remember remember stuff. Let's let's make a little a short, 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:39.520 little pit stop in Rose's book Corner A little pit Stop. Um. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.560 I you know, I read a lot this year, not 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.840 as much as I as I wish I had. I 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.760 will say, if I'm looking at the year thematically, this 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.800 was the year for me that I really discovered and 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:55.520 became obsessed with queer historical romance. I've read a lot 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.359 of it this year. Um. Some of it I've already 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:03.280 talked about. A Lady for Ad was incredible. Um. Uh, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:07.080 pretty much any book by K. J. Charles UM. And 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.520 then some other books I've talked about already are Her 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.400 Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson. I think is probably 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.760 my favorite book that I read this year. I've talked 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:20.440 about it before. Um. Also the Captive Prince trilogy, which 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:22.480 we did talk about on the podcast before, but I 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.639 believe it was cut in an edit. Um. It is 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:30.640 a sort of like alternate history. Um. Slavery romance. Wait, 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.480 this isn't the one you were reading on Fire Island? 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.199 Was it? No? No? No, that was that was a 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:39.600 different another another course, another course that another cod beast Ripper, 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:44.800 God beast Ripper. Yes. Um. And um, something that I'm 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.879 reading recently that I'm really enjoying is a book of 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:52.760 short stories called Salt Slow by Julia Armfield. UM. I 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:57.040 have always been a short story girly, and I it's 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.280 it's a really good way for me to break out 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.480 of a reading lump which I have been in recently 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.879 because I just finished a book that it took me 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.520 basically a month to read because I really wasn't enjoying it. 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:12.840 And I've been trying to empower myself more to stop 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.919 reading books when I realized I don't like them. I 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:20.280 have a really hard time doing that because I'm a finisher. UM. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:24.439 And unfortunately, this book that I actually was really excited 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:28.760 about reading just wasn't good and it took me a 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.399 long time to read it. And so I wanted to 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.720 read something that I could like consume pretty quickly and 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.080 would get me back into a reading mode. UM. And 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.440 so that book of short stories, which I actually found 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:42.920 because it was on UM the reading list that Florence 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.840 Welch put out when she was releasing Dance Fever of 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.080 books that had sort of like inspired the album or 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.360 books that she read while she was writing and recording 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.000 the album. And it's a lot of like really great 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.560 like dark, little short stories, so I definitely recommend it's 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.760 it's very readable and like like just kind of fast 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:06.280 paced readable is my vibe slash that was me when 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.640 I read The Heart the Heart Stopper books that you left. Um, 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:11.600 I can't even remember why you gave them to me. 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:13.600 I think because I wanted you to read them, because 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:19.200 I think I had you had covid. Yes, I brought that. Yeah, 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.680 I had covid. Um, so I think honestly, so I don't. 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.480 I don't. I don't read as much as Rose. The 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.239 Virgins probably know this already. I used to be an 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:30.920 avid reader. I made a resolution to read more this year, 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.439 and I did not. Um, I really did not. And 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:37.159 I don't even know if like I was like, oh, 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.040 it's okay, it'll be next year's goal. And it's like 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.199 I just need actually to to regiment. You have to 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:45.239 make time for the things you want to make time for, 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:47.960 and that's like where I'm at. But the book that 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:52.560 I read the most this year, crazy enough, is this 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:56.000 book called The Greeks and Greek Love by James Davidson, 0:22:56.080 --> 0:23:00.480 which is a kind of like Queer not year. It's 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:06.280 like gay mail love in um Greek history and examples 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:10.560 of it throughout mythology and time. And I read a lot, 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.720 a lot a lot of that book in preparation for 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:17.399 our Greek Mythology episode. But then after we recorded our 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.600 Greek Mythology episode, I kept reading it and you know, 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.359 for as research for another writing project thing, And like, 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.960 I just forgot how much I fucking love reading about 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:30.879 Greek myths and Greek history, queer Greek history. UM. So 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.159 if you have, if you or if the visions have 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.160 any like Rex in that regard, like I would love 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:38.199
