Speaker 4: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Definitely before I left for college.
Speaker 4: Great. Did you see the mini series, the Julia Child
Speaker 4: mini series? No, I think think I watched that in
Speaker 4: the I definitely watched that since during the time while
Speaker 4: we were doing the podcast, I watched it because that's
Speaker 4: when I got really into making French omelets. Oh so
Speaker 4: we love Julia Child on this podcast?
Speaker 2: Do you love Julia Jakay?
Speaker 4: Sure? Okay, I just realized it.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, why not a tall woman? Have not thought
Speaker 2: about my opinions on her? The only Julia Child I
Speaker 2: know is Meryl's Julia, and I adore I think.
Speaker 4: That she is actually like very uh a very respectful
Speaker 4: and accurate homage sleigh sleigh love. Okay, Well, hey girl,
Speaker 4: is that right?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you want to do that with maybe more enthusiasm?
Speaker 4: Hey girl, I just couldn't remember all of a sudden.
Speaker 4: It all feels foreorn to me.
Speaker 2: Girl.
Speaker 4: How's it going.
Speaker 2: Heat summer? The heat wave continues here in London. No,
Speaker 2: it's eighty four degrees today, which means currently it's twenty
Speaker 2: six point five degrees celsius inside my bedroom, which in fahrenheit.
Speaker 2: Let's find out seventy nine degrees fahrenheit inside inside my
Speaker 2: bedroom where I'm sitting presently doing a podcastew you, I
Speaker 2: would say, is the correct assessment of the situation. I'm
Speaker 2: uncomfy again, Did I remind you really uncomfy? No?
Speaker 4: No, anything, It's all that I'm thinking of totally.
Speaker 2: It's the only thing on my mind. I've been having
Speaker 2: very vivid, incredibly stressful dreams. I think in a combination
Speaker 2: of my meds and the heat, it's giving me like
Speaker 2: cinematic dreams. The other night, I had a stress stream
Speaker 2: that you and I were watching a film that was
Speaker 2: so violent, but also I was in the film, and
Speaker 2: I had to spend a week in Soviet Russia. And
Speaker 2: I was like, well, if I can just get through
Speaker 2: this week, I'll be fine. I didn't get through the
Speaker 2: first day. It was deeply stressful. No fort night, I
Speaker 2: had a stress stream that I had to go to
Speaker 2: the met Gala, but it was in Los Angeles instead
Speaker 2: of New York, and I had invites from three different friends.
Speaker 2: I was going as like the guest of three different friends,
Speaker 2: but none of them communicated with me like pick up time,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, no for when they'd collect me so
Speaker 2: that we could go do the stupid like red carpet
Speaker 2: step and repeat. And one of them was like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: I'll pick you up at like ten PM, and I
Speaker 2: was like, but the met Gala starts at five. And
Speaker 2: then another one was like, well, just text me, like
Speaker 2: what motel you're staying in? Motel? I was staying in
Speaker 2: a motel for the met Gala, so so I will.
Speaker 2: And then I kept trying to send them a WhatsApp
Speaker 2: but I kept not being able to get the letters
Speaker 2: correct on the keyboard, so I couldn't text them my
Speaker 2: address for them to pick me up. I had to
Speaker 2: get ready, but I looked so ugly. Oh no, because
Speaker 2: I didn't have any time to do my makeup.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I woke up and I was like, what am I
Speaker 2: worried about?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: What can I fix here? What is it in my life?
Speaker 2: That's what's my life worry that's causing me to worry
Speaker 2: that I have to go to the met Gallow but
Speaker 2: also might get stuck in Soviet Russia.
Speaker 4: Your stress dreams are highly creative. I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that's where I'm at.
Speaker 4: Damn. So you're you're you're very hot and your.
Speaker 2: Stress dreams are oh my god. And then the one
Speaker 2: I had last night was we're all getting on an airplane?
Speaker 2: Who just all of us? Okay, definitely you were there.
Speaker 2: I'm like Dorothy at the end of the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2: You were there, and you were the ten man and
Speaker 2: the scarecrow, remember, And I got bumped up to first
Speaker 2: class because nobody else sat there and it was just
Speaker 2: like if you asked, they would give you a seat. Okays,
Speaker 2: were looking at this plane. This plane was as long
Speaker 2: as a train, and you go from car to car
Speaker 2: on the airplane a plane one train. They had to
Speaker 2: search my luggage because they were very convinced I'd put
Speaker 2: marijuana in there, okay, and I was like, now, listen,
Speaker 2: that is as valid a concern as that is. I've
Speaker 2: never done that, and I would never do that because
Speaker 2: this is.
Speaker 4: The fear that I have, of course.
Speaker 2: And then I had to get off the plane and
Speaker 2: go get my luggage again and get it back onto
Speaker 2: the plane before the plane took off for initially China
Speaker 2: and then the East coast of the United States.
Speaker 4: Totally, totally.
Speaker 2: And also a guy I had once had a crush
Speaker 2: on who I asked on the date who said no
Speaker 2: of course, was also there just to make things, just
Speaker 2: to add stress to the trestle.
Speaker 4: Well, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So that's been my week subconsciously, you know, it explains
Speaker 2: why I'm so tired.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when I'm awake, absolutely, it's because I'm dreaming in
Speaker 4: HBO mini series. Yeah, any production companies out there.
Speaker 2: There you go, Yeah, if any of that resonated. You
Speaker 2: want to to purchase the rights to my brain, purchase
Speaker 2: the rights to Leonas please, somebody have it. I don't
Speaker 2: want it.
Speaker 4: I would watch a sort of black mirror type mini series.
Speaker 4: Is just based on your dreams every night?
Speaker 2: Yeah, my insane ssri stress dreams. And we know I'm sweating.
Speaker 2: We know I'm real sweat happening. I'm sure that's contributing
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the state.
Speaker 2: It's hard to know which feeds the other. Like, is
Speaker 2: it the stress dream that make me sweat? Well, that's
Speaker 2: the fact that I'm a sweating that makes my brain
Speaker 2: think I'm stressed.
Speaker 4: This comfort does add to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, please do more research about the side effects
Speaker 2: of antidepressants. If any of y'all work in that field,
Speaker 2: please keep, Please do more of that work.
Speaker 7: Maybe it's that they remove, they quell some of the
Speaker 7: anxieties you feel during the day, They like conmute them
Speaker 7: so and they just force them all into your the dream.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can't hold them back at night. The flood gates.
Speaker 2: There's somewhere, like that energy has to go somewhere. So
Speaker 2: they're like, well, we'll just do it in the dreams
Speaker 2: rather than while she's awake.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's.
Speaker 2: Where it goes because yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: It can't just disappear. Hey girl, Hey girl, Well I
Speaker 4: texted you that I also had a stress dream last night, mm, which.
Speaker 2: Yeah, stress dreams about just you're sucked. I'm sorry, it's well.
Speaker 4: The thing that's scary is it's like they're just about
Speaker 4: the United States of America getting more and more authoritarian.
Speaker 2: So like that is happening.
Speaker 4: That is happening. I had a dream that I was
Speaker 4: personally I personally offended Donald Trump, and my I was
Speaker 4: I was kidnapped and tortured and then my family was
Speaker 4: gonna be kidnapped and tortured. But literally, that is happening
Speaker 4: the Gestapo, Yeah it's happening.
Speaker 2: What did you do? What was the personal offense? I
Speaker 2: did you call them like a little bit, you know what.
Speaker 4: We were all going out to protest, and once we
Speaker 4: got out to the protest, there was like hundreds more
Speaker 4: marines and police officers than we realized, and we realized
Speaker 4: it was like a trap for everybody, Like the protest
Speaker 4: was a trap. And I got tased, Oh my god.
Speaker 4: And then I was just one of the people who
Speaker 4: was out and about. And the other thing I was
Speaker 4: gonna say at hey girl, was that I went to
Speaker 4: a lay miss party last night and the outfit I
Speaker 4: was wearing, Oh my god, is how I should look
Speaker 4: all the time.
Speaker 2: Oh, I believe that. I believe it was a huge sleigh.
Speaker 4: Whatever it was, it was a sleigh. Yeah, it was
Speaker 4: very fun, and that's kind of my true form. But
Speaker 4: I think I was wearing that outfit in the dream.
Speaker 2: Because it was a revolution, it's and the powers in place.
Speaker 4: I maybe got more attention than usual because I looked
Speaker 4: so amazing, So maybe that's why I.
Speaker 2: Was pulled aside, that's why you got tasting.
Speaker 4: That's why I got kidnapped because well, it's hard to
Speaker 4: take your eyes off of me, of course, because.
Speaker 2: I looked amazing. We need to be come to abduct you?
Speaker 2: Is well, what were you wearing.
Speaker 4: Anyway? Though? That's that and that's why my my my
Speaker 4: voice is a little hoarse because I was screaming lame
Speaker 4: miss songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, explains Also why you were singing lame is at
Speaker 2: the beginning of our call to day. Well, and just
Speaker 2: that line as well, it's the only part I remember,
Speaker 2: because why are the knew about tigers?
Speaker 4: Why are there tigers.
Speaker 2: And why does Eponine specifically know about them?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on my own all right, Well, before we do,
Speaker 2: the full second act of Flame is rable speaking of
Speaker 2: a society that has undergone turmoil, Sienna True, could you
Speaker 2: please give us a synopsis of the film Julie and Julia.
Speaker 4: Yes, Julie Powell sets out to cook all of Julia
Speaker 4: Child's five hundred plus recipes from Mastering the Art of
Speaker 4: French Cooking in one year. This is based on a
Speaker 4: true situation and a true blog.
Speaker 2: The movie Truelo cuts.
Speaker 4: The movie cuts between Julia Child's journey to becoming a
Speaker 4: cooking master in France and writing her famous cookbook in
Speaker 4: the nineteen fifties, and Julie Powell's life living in New
Speaker 4: York right after nine to eleven, cooking in her tiny
Speaker 4: apartment kitchen and hating her job the end. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: a lot of the true Julia Child. Foody foody love
Speaker 4: that you want?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's got that Nora e. Fron magic
Speaker 2: of making the food look delicious.
Speaker 4: I will watch anything with food. I love food. What
Speaker 4: can I say?
Speaker 2: Yeah, ly reminded me of Ratitui, a lot. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: just I was basking and THEUI was brought to mind.
Speaker 4: They just go, don't you love bread? And you go,
Speaker 4: I do love it bread.
Speaker 2: I love bread.
Speaker 4: God, I wanted a brushetta real bad after this movie.
Speaker 2: I've been thinking of it all day.
Speaker 4: Well, Leanna should move on to our phone notes where
Speaker 4: we talk. We notes that we took on our phones
Speaker 4: while watching the film.
Speaker 2: O O we Mademoiselle bion venue. Everyone to our phone notes.
Speaker 2: And I couldn't tell you either of those words in French.
Speaker 2: My thirteen years of French classes were worth wow nothing.
Speaker 4: Rin Okay, Yeah, Leanna, you've said, first of all, you said,
Speaker 4: sorry hot take New York is ugly. I think that
Speaker 4: takes fine. I love New York City as much as
Speaker 4: everybody else. I love it so much. But also, you know,
Speaker 4: there's other there's other things to the world, and we
Speaker 4: don't want to admit that.
Speaker 2: Well, it reminded me of the way that you describe
Speaker 2: comedy boys of proudly ugly.
Speaker 4: That's what bothers me. Be ashamed a little bit. M hm.
Speaker 2: Let me love and accept. You be working on yourself,
Speaker 2: aware on it, Yeah, be aware that there's room pro improvement.
Speaker 2: I get it. Also, of course, it was a directorial
Speaker 2: choice to show the difference between the romanticized Paris of
Speaker 2: nineteen forty nine and the devastatingly real New York City
Speaker 2: of two thousand and two. Totally which related Sienna. You noted,
Speaker 2: who does she work for? The nine to eleven company?
Speaker 2: I did not understand her job.
Speaker 4: She's like, I go to work every day, everybody calls
Speaker 4: me and tells me about their nine eleven story, which happened,
Speaker 4: by the way, four months ago.
Speaker 2: Oh insane. And what you're saying with that? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Well she works for it. What is it, the Lower
Speaker 2: Manhattan Development Corporate?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, so they're literally the people who are deciding
Speaker 4: what're developing Lower Manhattan. Yeah, with Tribeca and that area,
Speaker 4: which has recently faced a huge blow. Was it two
Speaker 4: thousand and two or two thousand and three that this
Speaker 4: was happening, this movie.
Speaker 2: Nine to eleven? No, no, no, this movie? Yeah, what is happening? No,
Speaker 2: it was like it was two thousand and two. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's two thousand and two into two thousand and three.
Speaker 4: Cool. Yeah, yeah, she really, I for some reason was
Speaker 4: picturing that like the nine to eleven of it all
Speaker 4: would come in at the end.
Speaker 2: Oh anyway, Yeah, this.
Speaker 4: Really is It's really right. I think you're right that
Speaker 4: they did do a good job of kind of it was.
Speaker 4: They're showing that Julie is like cooking in this small
Speaker 4: kitchen and she doesn't have like the all the fresh
Speaker 4: food loving the beautiful copper potts and yeah stuff around
Speaker 4: her marches.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I I'm curious how people who lived in New York
Speaker 2: directly after nine to eleven feel about this movie, because
Speaker 2: I feel like, what's good about it is we don't
Speaker 2: really see Julie or her husband themselves like pea if anything,
Speaker 2: like an answering machine for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and she'll be like I hate everyone who calls
Speaker 4: me Yeah, which is fair that it's her job and
Speaker 4: it's like really taxing, but it's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're they never because at the beginning she's like,
Speaker 2: should should we be leaving Brooklyn? So it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: you you lived in Brooklyn during nine eleven, Mama, that's
Speaker 2: real close to you know, ground zero. I don't know
Speaker 2: that that struck me more today than previously.
Speaker 4: That's a great point because.
Speaker 2: And it was the two things I hadn't really noticed
Speaker 2: were like them not really having like a personal emotional
Speaker 2: response to nine to eleven.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: And also the concept of McCarthyism uh huh being a
Speaker 2: running thing. I did not get that the first time.
Speaker 4: I wat Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Leanna, Yeah, this okay.
Speaker 4: My hot take is that.
Speaker 2: I love the Julia movie. I hate the Jewelia movie.
Speaker 2: I said the exact same my flatmate earlier.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, I think this is an amazing movie
Speaker 4: mixed with a movie with somebody who sucks pretty bad.
Speaker 2: People who are annoying. Yeah, okay, yeah, great, thank god, Okay, perfect, Leanna,
Speaker 2: and I want to watch this again, but only the
Speaker 2: nineteen forties bits because it's amazing.
Speaker 4: Leana, you said why are all her friends terrible? Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you wrote, Julie, why are these your friends?
Speaker 5: She is?
Speaker 4: She is mm hm. Their lives are so different. I
Speaker 4: don't know why she's friends with all these rude CEOs.
Speaker 4: The point is she doesn't have that much money, she
Speaker 4: has a shitty job.
Speaker 2: She just likes to go home these rude CEOs.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: I think this is a product of being a film
Speaker 2: from two thousand and nine that was executive produced by
Speaker 2: Scott Rudin a famously evil man because the amount of like, oh,
Speaker 2: there was this big expose about him in Oh, I
Speaker 2: can't remember it was maybe Vulture, it was maybe a
Speaker 2: different magazine a few years ago about how much of
Speaker 2: a bully he was and just what a monster he was.
Speaker 2: Oh no, so he got like booted a little bit
Speaker 2: out of the industry. But the misogyny and the Julie
Speaker 2: storyline where like all of her friends are awful, yes,
Speaker 2: but then it's like normal to hate your friends, like
Speaker 2: everybody hates their friends.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what are about her mom calls and says, I
Speaker 4: fucking hate Yeah, and again, maybe you're stupid, You're stupid. Stop.
Speaker 2: Maybe some of that's rooted in the truth of the
Speaker 2: author's experience, but I think just like writing two dimensional
Speaker 2: women is such a.
Speaker 4: Lazy yeah, totally and rude choice. I know, she doesn't
Speaker 4: really have any friends besides her husband, a man who
Speaker 4: eats like a hyena. All he did was come in
Speaker 4: and be like, come on, let's have sex. And then
Speaker 4: she's like, no, I'm cooking right now, and he goes,
Speaker 4: let me try it, let me try some, and we'll
Speaker 4: just like rip apart whatever she's been making and shove
Speaker 4: it in his mouth after she spent that hour with
Speaker 4: a fort It's insane. Say so right, yeah, if you'll
Speaker 4: excuse me, I just made a very very nice and
Speaker 4: fancy cake and my white boyfriend is taking a big
Speaker 4: bite out of the side. I gotta go deal with this.
Speaker 4: I'll be right back. Leanni. You said, oh dang, I
Speaker 4: forgot how good this food looks.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh my god, the food toasting, the bread like
Speaker 2: in a pan filled with butter. She's like grilling bread.
Speaker 4: It is very a very kind thing they did to
Speaker 4: us to make a movie in which there's delicious food
Speaker 4: and Meryl Streep is playing Julia Child. So Meryl Streep
Speaker 4: is incredibly charmingly and hilariously going oh.
Speaker 2: So good, Oh yeah, oh, I love to eat.
Speaker 4: And then for some reason they put sour Julie in it.
Speaker 4: I know it's based on a real person. I don't
Speaker 4: know if they hit the charm of the of the
Speaker 4: other side.
Speaker 2: I found this character so annoying me too, But I
Speaker 2: have to say right now before we say anything truly heinous.
Speaker 4: She died.
Speaker 2: That woman died, I know in twenty twenty two kind
Speaker 2: of of COVID nineteen. Oh really, I saw that it
Speaker 2: was heart failure. I didn't see it was like.
Speaker 4: She had COVID like the week before.
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, well that's really sad.
Speaker 4: It is based on a real person and she has
Speaker 4: since passed away, So I'm not making fun of them.
Speaker 4: We're not all clear.
Speaker 2: Think there's something.
Speaker 4: First of all, I say, go Julie for doing this
Speaker 4: what like doing this cooking everything in a year thing,
Speaker 4: and she like made she became a writer through this.
Speaker 2: Yeah never but in a movie.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Trying to give stakes to starting a blog
Speaker 4: is next to impossible. They were like, her boyfriend won't
Speaker 4: support her, her mom will call and bully her incessantly
Speaker 4: for spending time after work on a blog. Like no,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, no one cares if you start a blog,
Speaker 4: which that stakes enough for people not to care and
Speaker 4: not support you.
Speaker 2: But do you think it was different in two thousand
Speaker 2: and two, the concept of starting a blog?
Speaker 4: I do think it was different. H I think it's
Speaker 4: almost better then because there's only so many blogs. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and it's like more of an undertaking back then. But
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, they didn't manage to make her that sympathetic.
Speaker 4: It's weird along the way, and I wonder if it's
Speaker 4: also because in comparison to Julia Child and her apparently
Speaker 4: wonderful marriage to Paul, I know, any two characters would
Speaker 4: be annoying in comparison to them, because they're just such
Speaker 4: dream boats. I don't know, but anytime it went back
Speaker 4: to Julia in two thousand and two, I would go,
Speaker 4: I know because on top of like, there's all these
Speaker 4: life circumstances that are of course going to be different
Speaker 4: than the dreamy, charming, rich life of Julia Child and
Speaker 4: her husband who constantly wants to bone her. But but
Speaker 4: also it's like, Julia, help us out, why are you?
Speaker 4: Why are you so annoying? Leonna? You've said, yes, enormous, Jane, enormous, Jane,
Speaker 4: Jane coming. This is a movie for huge women. These
Speaker 4: sisters are enormous. Yes, Meryl Streep is five to six
Speaker 4: playing a six to two woman. But can I tell
Speaker 4: you something, If anyone's gonna be appropriating tall woman culture,
Speaker 4: I want it to be Meryl Streep because Meryl can
Speaker 4: have it. She first of all, she can have it.
Speaker 4: She did a great job, and she's such a good actress.
Speaker 4: I think she literally grew like she looked bigger on screen.
Speaker 4: I think she managed to do it.
Speaker 2: She made her. She was big. Meryl was a big, big,
Speaker 2: big woman. I also think maryl has never done that
Speaker 2: bullshit thing of like I'm so small right, Like, we've
Speaker 2: never seen her do that kind of the energy. I've
Speaker 2: never seen allowed. She's allowed into the tall girl, into
Speaker 2: the tall woman, the huge woman universe. Hwu, I love
Speaker 2: these huge ladies.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: I thought they were so well cast. I know, I
Speaker 2: just there the Julia child part of this movie me too. Oh,
Speaker 2: every good moment.
Speaker 4: Meryl Streep, We're so lucky to have her. We're so
Speaker 4: lucky to have her.
Speaker 2: And what's crazy is Amy Adams is also a very
Speaker 2: talented actress. I just hate this character. It's just too bad. Sienna,
Speaker 2: I do want to talk about this. You've noted, Okay, bitch?
Speaker 2: Did she really want kids that bad? Or is that
Speaker 2: just what childless women need to feel in movies.
Speaker 4: There were a lot of things in this movie that
Speaker 4: I know they added in for the drama or for
Speaker 4: the like you have to have a mom who doesn't
Speaker 4: support you, even though why didn't you care about your blog?
Speaker 4: That really bothered me obviously.
Speaker 2: What the thing with the mom too is she's like
Speaker 2: why are you doing this blog? Stop?
Speaker 4: But she doesn't say like do something else, yes instead, Yeah,
Speaker 4: she's not like I don't agree with this because I
Speaker 4: think you should be doing this instead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just like the trophy one would be like
Speaker 2: if you need to focus on starting a family, yeah,
Speaker 2: but instead she's just like, don't do no, do it.
Speaker 2: It's dumb, You're stupid.
Speaker 4: You're stupid. It's not a human being at all. But then,
Speaker 4: of course I love to see Meryl act. She did
Speaker 4: an amazing and beautiful job. Jane Lynch is gonna have
Speaker 4: a child, and so then Meryl Streep. We see that
Speaker 4: Julia Child is so sad because she wanted a child
Speaker 4: so badly, and I was kind of like, damn, can't
Speaker 4: we just let there be a childless celebrity who just
Speaker 4: like doesn't have kids. Her life is amazing and I
Speaker 4: don't know her life. I tried looking it up, and
Speaker 4: the things I found I haven't researched enough. But if
Speaker 4: anybody wants to go and research out there, I saw
Speaker 4: one thing saying they never got around to it and
Speaker 4: it was fine, which I would completely believe they had
Speaker 4: very full lives. It doesn't seem like having children would
Speaker 4: necessarily fit in with their situation. I saw another thing
Speaker 4: that maybe they did want kids, and she was a real,
Speaker 4: like huge proponent of planned parenthood, which slag. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I need to research it allmore. But
Speaker 4: either way, it's just like, I don't know if that
Speaker 4: was a huge part of her journey. I couldn't. It
Speaker 4: didn't seem like it was a big part of her thing,
Speaker 4: So why do we gotta do that? Yeah, but maybe
Speaker 4: at the time of twenty eleven or whenever this movie.
Speaker 2: Came out two thousand and nine, Yeah, twosand.
Speaker 4: And nine, maybe it was like, you know, we're talking
Speaker 4: about the infertility thing and stuff like that. But it
Speaker 4: does just feel like every movie we've ever seen when
Speaker 4: a woman doesn't have children, it's like, well, she went
Speaker 4: crazy because she couldn't have a bath.
Speaker 2: We have to humanize her, so we'll make her devastated
Speaker 2: that she has no kids, because that's the only normal
Speaker 2: response for a human woman to have. I don't see
Speaker 2: that for Julia. I think it's fine. I agree, I agree,
Speaker 2: And can I tell.
Speaker 4: You something, It is so awesome to see a woman,
Speaker 4: just to see a person over forty just like learning
Speaker 4: a new skill and thriving that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it did make me a little sad because it
Speaker 2: was like, oh, okay, in order to be able to
Speaker 2: do this, you have to have the wealthiest husband in
Speaker 2: the world, and also the US embassy is paying for
Speaker 2: yours and no kids picking up a new skill. Sleigh,
Speaker 2: it's never too late. If your husband were the end
Speaker 2: you're fatting parrots.
Speaker 4: Totally. But that was really fun. Leanna. You did say, LMAO,
Speaker 4: being a McCarthy stand is so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, her dad, Julia Child's dad like that McCarthy.
Speaker 2: He's got great ideas, So, I mean, we see it.
Speaker 2: It's it's like those men who start their tweets with
Speaker 2: uh uh Trump, mister president, sir, it would be an
Speaker 2: honor to blah blah blah blah blah, and you're like,
Speaker 2: are you not embarrassed?
Speaker 4: I mean, you gotta know, feel bad about it, but
Speaker 4: think they're proud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Leanna, you've.
Speaker 4: Said the real villain of this film is the reporter
Speaker 4: guy who called Julie to tell her Julia hates her. Yeah. Hi,
Speaker 4: I wonder if you want to comment on the fact
Speaker 4: that Julia Child hates you, like.
Speaker 2: I didn't ever need to know that. I could have
Speaker 2: gone my whole life not knowing she'd said that, but
Speaker 2: you called me to tell me that she had said that. Yes,
Speaker 2: what the f man?
Speaker 4: Thanks, You didn't set up a situation in which I
Speaker 4: met her.
Speaker 2: You didn't help you know, it's just like, no, like,
Speaker 2: what comment are you expecting?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: My comment is that that makes me feel terrible.
Speaker 4: Also, like, I don't know if Julia said that with
Speaker 4: the intention of this person hearing that, Like something I
Speaker 4: would say just kind of offhanded about something is very
Speaker 4: different than what I present to a person, not just
Speaker 4: because I'm filtering it for them, but because it's like, actually,
Speaker 4: the message I want to instill in you is something different.
Speaker 4: I was just being petty with my friends to totally.
Speaker 2: Also, she was like eighty eight when she said that,
Speaker 2: if I heard about somebody like sixty years younger than
Speaker 2: me doing anything related to my work, I would say
Speaker 2: that's annoying. Yeah, leave me be.
Speaker 4: We looked up later why she said like what she
Speaker 4: said about it, and she says it was literally that
Speaker 4: She's like, yeah, she just didn't really like like frivolous people,
Speaker 4: like she'd just never been interested in the flimsies. Oh, like,
Speaker 4: if you were an educated woman through the depression, you're
Speaker 4: just kind of like, I don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 4: You're stupid. I get that.
Speaker 2: I could totally see me telling Julia Child I have
Speaker 2: an anxiety disorder and her being like, ugh, I'd have
Speaker 2: to be like and thank fair enough, ma'am, thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Siena, you noted nobody calls to put
Speaker 2: up someone else's one woman show. Okay, I'm sorry, please
Speaker 2: is so funny. Can we talk about this for a second.
Speaker 2: Because so she gets published in The New York Times
Speaker 2: with a terrible photo.
Speaker 4: I also thought that I thought when she was looking
Speaker 4: over somebody's shoulder in the cafe, she was gonna be like,
Speaker 4: oh god, but she was just proud, which is again annoying.
Speaker 2: And suddenly she starts getting calls.
Speaker 4: But not only are they calls being like hey, I
Speaker 4: want to represent you, Hey, I want to represent you.
Speaker 4: They are all distinct things that people want from her.
Speaker 4: So one person calls it is like I want to
Speaker 4: represent you. Another person's like I want I have a
Speaker 4: book company, and I want to I want your book.
Speaker 4: This person's like, I make movies and I want to
Speaker 4: make you into a movie. They all have their own
Speaker 4: little thing one person. So it's going through like I'm
Speaker 4: thinking you might want to start a show, an article,
Speaker 4: a book, blah blah blah, a one woman show.
Speaker 2: That's not how one woman shows work. No one woman
Speaker 2: shows happen to the audience. No one ever is like
Speaker 2: I'm developing for someone else. Yes, yes, exactly, I totally
Speaker 2: see what you mean.
Speaker 4: They're like, you either have to tell people are subjected
Speaker 4: to one woman shows, or it's like it completely makes
Speaker 4: sense as a thesis, as I need to mount this
Speaker 4: to stay in the country, or just like this is
Speaker 4: a story that I just let me do this. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna do this. Yeah, but you don't say you know
Speaker 4: your story. I think I think.
Speaker 2: We could develop see this as a one woman show
Speaker 2: to a one woman show. I think people would really
Speaker 2: love that. No one in.
Speaker 4: The history of the world has had their pockets filled
Speaker 4: by putting on a one person performance anywhere.
Speaker 2: No. I also feel like the theater is one of
Speaker 2: the mediums the least capable of conveying like delicious food. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's so true, like unless you're cooking it on stage live,
Speaker 2: but even then you're gonna have to rely on like
Speaker 2: the scent you across to the audience. A one woman
Speaker 2: show was Julia Child.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if they meant it, like, but that
Speaker 4: was a teavy cooking show. Yeah, that's what you want to.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't describe one.
Speaker 4: And then when Julia Child mounted her famous one woman
Speaker 4: show which would change the cooking world forever, her Emmy
Speaker 4: Award winning one woman's show, Leonna. You're final note is
Speaker 4: the ending always makes me cry. The freeze frame with Julia.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, her and Stanley Tucci laughing. It's the
Speaker 2: jovial laughing. It's something that song I find very like
Speaker 2: heart wrenching, heartrending whatever it is. And their beautiful relationship
Speaker 2: and he's so supportive of her, and they love each
Speaker 2: other so much, and they're able to laugh so easily
Speaker 2: with one another and like celebrate her success together. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, is always cry.
Speaker 4: They're such a their couple, their their relationship is so
Speaker 4: so sweet and fun to.
Speaker 2: Watch, true power couple.
Speaker 4: It's not like overly sweet either, So somehow nothing is
Speaker 4: overly sweet in a way that feels fake, and it's
Speaker 4: just like so delightful totally.
Speaker 2: I forget entire world. Yeah, she's the best person in
Speaker 2: the entire world for sure. Welcome to our segment Badges

Speaker 2: high five, good for you. Yes, I didn't tell him,
Speaker 2: I swear. But none of her actual friends or she
Speaker 2: invites over for dinner, they're they're all white. That's so funny.
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize.
Speaker 4: Why didn't she invite her black friend who seems to
Speaker 4: be her best friend in that she's the only person
Speaker 4: who's nice to her.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 4: She gives her high fives constantly.
Speaker 2: She's so supportive. All she does is support Julie. That
Speaker 2: is so funny.
Speaker 4: Okay, trash for that weird scene where uh where Julie's like,
Speaker 4: I have fans and all the boyfriends at the table
Speaker 4: explain the analytics to her. I don't understand why the
Speaker 4: boyfriends are the only people who know about her blog
Speaker 4: and why she doesn't have access to her viewer count,
Speaker 4: even though in another time they still were able to
Speaker 4: see I think if they had readers and she was like,
Speaker 4: I have people read my blog and these random men are.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah they do. Why do they know that? Why
Speaker 2: isn't it one of her friends no blogs and the
Speaker 2: girlfriends are no blogs?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, I don't think that girlfriends even
Speaker 4: speak in that scene.
Speaker 2: It's insane. That scene is insane. A trage for starting
Speaker 2: sentences with so, ma'am, you want to be a writer,
Speaker 2: you should not be starting sentences. You should not be
Speaker 2: writing sentences that go so tonight. I made this thing,
Speaker 2: you just say tonight. I made this thing. That's a big,
Speaker 2: a big peeve of mine. As people who start their
Speaker 2: sentences are so oh interesting in writing form, you don't
Speaker 2: need it, you can always take it out.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: If I haven't done that.
Speaker 4: You have not known.
Speaker 2: I noticed it a lot at work. Imagine if I
Speaker 2: was trying to convey a pet peeve to you, but
Speaker 2: via a trage. Hate film when people do that. I
Speaker 2: hate when trage for when when you're trying to make
Speaker 2: memes with your Wait, that's only us, and no, that
Speaker 2: was an film Julia and Julia's.
Speaker 4: Well trag for that very awkward SNL viewing they do
Speaker 4: together where they're both snickering.
Speaker 2: With their like martinis and.
Speaker 4: Being forced to watch an SNL thing like a classic thing.
Speaker 4: You kind of go, oh, it's I guess that's medium funny.
Speaker 4: She just she's just bleeding everywhere and watching. There's nothing
Speaker 4: that makes something less funny than watching two people.
Speaker 2: Laughing at it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very.
Speaker 4: Awkward and weird.
Speaker 2: God, you know, I also found it pretty creepy how
Speaker 2: Julie starts like wearing pearls and like sort of dressing
Speaker 2: like Julia. Yeah, it was going a little bit all
Speaker 2: about Eve for me. My final trage is a trag
Speaker 2: for this old ideology around turning thirty and this whole like,
Speaker 2: oh you have to have an existential crisis about turning thirty,
Speaker 2: because it's the end of your life and if you
Speaker 2: haven't had everything figured out by then you are a waste.
Speaker 2: Because Julie's character turns thirty over the course of the year,
Speaker 2: yeah blog, and I'm like, I just this is so tired.
Speaker 4: I feel like the only reason I will feel any
Speaker 4: weirdness around turning thirty is because everyone keeps acting like
Speaker 4: you're supposed to. Yeah, okay, trag For the lobster scene,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Julie says much. Oh, I don't want it.
Speaker 4: It's so it's so crazy for me to throw these
Speaker 4: live lobsters into the boiling water. The human thing to
Speaker 4: do is to kill them with a knife, And then
Speaker 4: she thinks about doing it. Then she throws them in
Speaker 4: the boiling water, which is so inhumane. I know it's
Speaker 4: how they've been doing it for a long time, but
Speaker 4: she has the choice. And then her boyfriend rushes up
Speaker 4: and puts the lid back on. He wasn't helpful in
Speaker 4: killing them at all. He didn't do anything to help.
Speaker 4: And then he puts the lid on and she goes,
Speaker 4: thank you so much. That scene was crazy. I felt
Speaker 4: gasper by that scene. Everybody here did a bad job,
Speaker 4: and no one should be proud of themselves.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, I would love for you to be going
Speaker 2: around to various situations and saying that to the people involved.
Speaker 2: None of you should be proud. Everyone did a very
Speaker 2: bad job. Stop stop feeling proud about this.
Speaker 4: It was all bad. Well, Leanna, Shall we move on
Speaker 4: to our next segment, which is, of course.
Speaker 2: How to pretend you've seen this film?
Speaker 4: This is you are grocery shopping at the supermakey and
Speaker 4: you're looking at the bread and McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Oh okay. Senator Joseph McCarthy comes up to you. It says,
Speaker 2: what do you do in your spare time? WHOA nothing?
Speaker 4: No, I do nothing at all. You say, I'm starting
Speaker 4: a blog. He goes, that's actually more annoying than my thing.
Speaker 4: Be on your way. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Senator Joseph McCarthy comes up to you with a really
Speaker 2: bright light, holds it over you. It starts are you gay?
Speaker 2: Interrogating you, but then realizes, do you know what? This
Speaker 2: really reminds me of a guy who worked for the
Speaker 2: government in the fifties, and they actually made a movie
Speaker 2: about him that's called Paul and Paul. Well, really it's
Speaker 2: called Julie and Julia. Yeah, I've seen that one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's about Paul Child. No, no, no. And in order
Speaker 2: to big.
Speaker 4: Senator McCarthy from interrogating you about Red scaring you, Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: here are a few things you can say to pretend
Speaker 4: you've seen the film Julie and Julia.
Speaker 2: Yes, Senator McCarthy, I've seen Julie and Julia.
Speaker 4: Ugh.
Speaker 2: The current state of the government reminds me of the
Speaker 2: makeup of Julia Child's class at Le cordon Bleu. All men,
Speaker 2: all GI's and very expensive.
Speaker 4: That looked straight up terrible. That's why I felt I
Speaker 4: think she won some of them over. She totally, Oh
Speaker 4: you're improv class, Yeah, totally. Yeah, Uh, she totally did. Okay,
Speaker 4: you better work. Meryl Streep gained fifteen pounds while filming
Speaker 4: the movie.
Speaker 2: Oh I forgot you just from eating like really good food.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 4: I don't know if she was supposed Maybe she was
Speaker 4: just doing it as part of the role.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because she grew eight inches.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she had to stretch up and become the size
Speaker 4: of the enormous woman.
Speaker 2: Enormous woman, yes, Senator McCarthy. I've seen Julie and Julia. Really, honestly,
Speaker 2: it's not about Paul. We're not talking about men. Who's
Speaker 2: talking about men.
Speaker 4: We're talking about Julie and Julia. Really, just Julia. Yeah,
Speaker 4: to be honest, Yes, Senator McCarthy, I've seen the film
Speaker 4: Julie and Julia. Some facts about the heights in this movie.
Speaker 4: Julie a child was six to two huge, We love it.
Speaker 4: Paul Child was five nine, which is so funny because
Speaker 4: imagine being like five two, but he just looks like
Speaker 4: it compared to this six too woman. Yeah, but Meryl
Speaker 4: Streep is five six. Stanley Tucci is five seven and
Speaker 4: three quarters tall. Okay, just like just give it, just
Speaker 4: just just say, just say five to seven. But but
Speaker 4: he's a man in Hollywood, so I understand. H In
Speaker 4: order to achieve the height, they had to do several
Speaker 4: camera slash, set slash costume tricks, which I was noticing.
Speaker 4: I think they dropped her waist a lot, so she
Speaker 4: looked like all together longer. Yeah, and then also like
Speaker 4: in the last scene, you also just buy it because
Speaker 4: she's such a great actress, but she is wearing like platform.
Speaker 2: All those those heels.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw those in the end, I was like, huh,
Speaker 4: which at some point you're like, what are we supposed
Speaker 4: to do besides simply theater, Like, honestly, that's quaint, instead
Speaker 4: of them like CG eyeing her legs longer.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Yeah it, but it is really funny to imagine Julia
Speaker 4: child like absolutely prancing around in these clumping in some things, strutting.
Speaker 2: What is marshmallow fluff? I finally read scare Senator McCarthy
Speaker 2: away from me in the grocery store aisle so I
Speaker 2: can have some peace. But I find myself so distraught
Speaker 2: and perturbed by that conversation that I say, I'm going
Speaker 2: to go buy some bread.
Speaker 4: Oh imagine living somewhere with a bakery. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: do you guys have like no good bakeries in London
Speaker 4: where you can buy breads.
Speaker 2: Not in the way that you'd wish.
Speaker 4: Okay, yes, Senator McCarthy. I have seen the film Julia
Speaker 4: and Julia, And guess what. This is the first Hollywood
Speaker 4: film at least partially based on a blog. And I
Speaker 4: believe it.
Speaker 2: I believe it, and I believe it. It's funny that
Speaker 2: we've watched a film based on a Twitter thread and
Speaker 2: a film that's based.
Speaker 4: On the blog to we accidentally often Yeah, a reason
Speaker 4: moving too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, can I give a late badge? Yes, I
Speaker 2: have to give a badge for the pet name that
Speaker 2: Paul calls Julia as a term of endearment. He goes
Speaker 2: my big sprig. Also, I'm sorry, this is another badge
Speaker 2: I have to give a badge for. When they're talking
Speaker 2: about Julia's size. There's never an element of shame to
Speaker 2: it that they're always just like, you're huge, You're a
Speaker 2: big woman. And she's like, I know, I'm growing in
Speaker 2: front of you. And I love that. That is so true.
Speaker 2: It's just it's like really healthy. They're just so like, yep,
Speaker 2: that's how you're big. Yeah, And that's not a bad thing.
Speaker 4: It's just what it is.
Speaker 2: It's awesome.
Speaker 4: They're also like fifty forty and fifty like I think
Speaker 4: they're just like it's all it's all good. Oh my god, Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. One last one, last one, yes, Senator McCarthy.
Speaker 4: I have seen the film. I have seen the film
Speaker 4: Julia and Julia. In her research, Nora Efron was surprised
Speaker 4: to discover that Julia Child and Paul Child had a
Speaker 4: very intense sexual relationship, which they both wrote about enthusiastically
Speaker 4: to their friends.
Speaker 2: People would put that into letters in the past in
Speaker 2: ways that I don't think people do necessarily these days.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you'd see your friends like talk
Speaker 4: to friends on the phone so much so like they
Speaker 4: just had to be like, yeah, I had great sex
Speaker 4: with my wife.
Speaker 2: Fucking yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh Sianna.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Let us uh uh pull our next segment
Speaker 2: out of the oven, which is should you watch this
Speaker 2: ore in which we tell you, beloved listeners, if we
Speaker 2: think you should watch this movie or if you should
Speaker 2: do something else with your recipe? What do you think, Leanna?
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I.
Speaker 2: Would say you could watch this film. You could watch
Speaker 2: just the Julia Child parts. Tbah, I love them so much.
Speaker 2: And then I really really was very just like at
Speaker 2: the other half, which I feel bad about, but it's
Speaker 2: also the truth. But I don't really have another thing.
Speaker 2: Is there some sort of cooking show?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: What was really good that I enjoyed a lot was
Speaker 2: Sola L. Wiley's YouTube channel where you larious dishes. You
Speaker 2: could check out her YouTube channel, Sola That's a fun one.
Speaker 4: She is one woman show.
Speaker 2: She is one of my favorite.
Speaker 4: She's incredibly, incredibly knowledgeable and skilled about like food science,
Speaker 4: but she's also just a delightful fun person to watch
Speaker 4: and she has a husband she loves.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 4: Yes, Cianna, what would you say? It's a great recommendation.
Speaker 4: I would say the same thing as you. The parts
Speaker 4: that are delightful and fun with Meryl being Julia Child
Speaker 4: are so fun. It is really kind of endlessly delightful
Speaker 4: to watch Julia Child do her thing and prepraying that
Speaker 4: if you wanted to watch more of that, you could
Speaker 4: watch Julia the French Chef is her actual show, which
Speaker 4: you could also watch, but I haven't watched much.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's Sarah Lancashire plays Julia Child. She's amazing.
Speaker 4: She was so good. She's British. That makes sense because
Speaker 4: she was yeah she uh yeah. That show was so
Speaker 4: good and it kind of takes you through how they
Speaker 4: started it, which because she was like a housewife's starting
Speaker 4: a cooking show and things were done so differently. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed that and it made me so excited
Speaker 4: about food. It's great for foodies. Would recommend if you
Speaker 4: want more Julia Child content. That is packaged in a
Speaker 4: in a dramatic medium.
Speaker 2: Leanna, what would you rate this film? Weird movie?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: I god like I would give the Julia Child parts
Speaker 2: five big spriggs out of five. We can rate it
Speaker 2: like and then the Julie part I would give like
Speaker 2: two burnt Borgignons out of five, so on average, I
Speaker 2: guess that makes it a three point five out of
Speaker 2: five totally, but I feel sad about that. But I
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna wait them differently. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 2: wait at like a two thirds to a one third ratio.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give the whole thing four out of five.
Speaker 2: Fantastic copper pans. Yeah, I love Love, Love Merrily and
Speaker 2: Stanley and Jane Lynch. I completely agree, Like it's it's
Speaker 2: such a gift. The maryl parts such a gift. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I'm going to give that food in the Julie
Speaker 2: section also is really good.
Speaker 4: I am going to Yeah, that's true. I'm going to
Speaker 4: give the maryl Or the I'm going to give the
Speaker 4: Julia Child part of this six female created cookbooks out
Speaker 4: of five, and I'm going to give the Julie parts
Speaker 4: two Bullied by Your Mom Blogs out of five, and
Speaker 4: I will give the full movie two point nine yeah,
Speaker 4: because it weighs it down for me too much. Two
Speaker 4: point nine boned Ducks out of five. But the Marral parts,
Speaker 4: I wonder they probably have like a YouTube edit with
Speaker 4: just the maryl parts. Not to be completely rude, I
Speaker 4: mean it was fine, It was fine, but I just
Speaker 4: really wanted to just I would just watch Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 2: I would just watch Meryl Street be.
Speaker 4: Julia Child for my whole life, the best, the best.
Speaker 4: Well there, we've done it. We watched Julia and Julia.
Speaker 4: I had a fun time. I gotta say, my brother
Speaker 4: and I were saying this at the end. It's kind
Speaker 4: of the perfect movie in that you get to love
Speaker 4: it so much and you get to hate it so much,
Speaker 4: which is actually kind of enjoyable to talk about.
Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, it's the perfect thing. Merciboku for listening now.

Speaker 2: If you had to accomplish a milestone in a year,
Speaker 2: what do you think you would do? Like a certain
Speaker 2: number of some things?
Speaker 4: Oh interesting, I'd probably either do an exercise one just
Speaker 4: to see if I could actually like, I'd probably try
Speaker 4: to try to do I'd do one cartwheel a day
Speaker 4: and add one every day until.
Speaker 2: I was doing three s five carp wheels.
Speaker 4: And by the way, I can't do even one right now, Okay,
Speaker 4: so i'd have.
Speaker 2: To be right or so I'm picturing at the end
Speaker 2: that you're like on a football field, like you need
Speaker 2: that much distance to do three hundred and sixty five cartwheel?
Speaker 4: Would that actually be really bad for your brain? Probably?
Speaker 2: I was just wondering that I was wondering that exact
Speaker 2: same thing
