Speaker 2: all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands, or do they

Speaker 4: about eight hundred episodes on Titanic already? We have, It's true,

59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,920

00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: can do it, that I can do it, and that

93
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: in fact, we were born to do it, so we're

94
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: really excited.

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: Please come out.

96
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: Yes, at the end of the day, we have covered

97
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: five hundred movies.

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: Caitlin Durante, it.

99
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 4: Is can you believe it?

100
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: It is shocking.

101
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: It is shocked, And to be clear, I mean whatever,

102
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: I feel like we're always qualifying things and apologizing for

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: things that people are not asking us to do.

104
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: And if that's not the fem experience.

105
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: No, but we have covered five hundred movies between the

106
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: main feed and our Patreon ak Matreon, which we have

107
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: had since twenty seventeen.

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: If you're like, oh, no, there's.

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: No new episode of the Bechdel Cast this week, really,

110
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: then you can head over there. It's five bucks a

111
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: month for two new episodes and access to over one

112
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty of these movies we're talking about. Yes,

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, we recently hit five hundred movies covered, which

114
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: is wild because we we've covered some movies multiple times.

115
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean like obviously Titanic we've covered multiple times, and

116
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: then there's a few episodes that we were strictly based.

117
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: On our own knowledge. Well maybe that's a fun place.

118
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 4: Sorry.

119
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: A shaved of this podcast started in twenty sixteen.

120
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: Yes, we were different people.

121
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: Those eight whole years ago or eighty four years ago.

122
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: It's been depending on how you experienced time.

123
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I think spiritually, honestly, like I've been seeing more and

124
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: more sort of thoughts and articles, et cetera about how

125
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: the passage of time in the last five years has

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: just like not quite been correct.

127
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 4: We are in a weird time. We're a warp time

128
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: loop multiverse. Something is happening. It's an interstellar thing, it's

129
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: a Tenant thing. It's just a lot of like Christopher

130
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: Nolan movies and how time is experienced by those characters,

131
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 4: that is what is happening to us.

132
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: See, I only saw a Tenant at I think I've

133
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: heard this experience from a lot of people that and

134
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: I kind of not to be like justice for Tenant

135
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: because who cares. But like I know some people who

136
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: recently saw when Tenant was like re released into Imax,

137
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, that movie was actually really good,

138
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: because I think many of us saw Tenant either on

139
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: our TVs or I saw it. I've heard this story

140
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: many times of like saw it at the drive in

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: in a desperate attempt to leave the home and feel

142
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: like you're having a communal experience.

143
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: So the two movies I saw at the.

144
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Drive in during lockdown and this is so bleak is

145
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: Tenant which impossible, impossible to understand from forty feet away

146
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: if you're in like over a radio signal.

147
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: Not good.

148
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: Even if you're closer, you're not able to understand it.

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: It is an unfollowable movie.

150
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: It's confused when you're surrounded by it, much.

151
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: Less from far away, like and you have your dog

152
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, ahhuh ah. And then I also saw

153
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: Promising Young Woman at a drive in, which is like,

154
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: however you feel about that movie?

155
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: Not a drive in movie for sure, like real bomber

156
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: to see at the drive in.

157
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Anyways, I have to rehabilitate my relationship with a drive in.

158
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: The point is this show has been on for a

159
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: long time, and the show is I mean, we've talked

160
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: about the origins of the show many times. We don't

161
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: need to recap that here, but it's changed a lot

162
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: over the years.

163
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't know.

164
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: I'm proud of our little show, Caitlin. I'll say, oh

165
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: my gosh, I'm so proud of it. I feel so

166
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 4: lucky and privileged, not only that this is my job,

167
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: because it's a job that I love doing so much.

168
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: And it did not start as this is like you

169
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: know whatever, very much started as like when we have

170
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: time at an act.

171
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: Of financial loss sort of thing. So we're very lucky

172
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: that has turned into a job.

173
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: Truly, and I also just feel so lucky and honored

174
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 4: to be working so closely with you, Jamie Oka. I

175
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: feel so lucky.

176
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: I may yeah, yeah, I like should we cry? No? No, okay, fine,

177
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: No I can't right now.

178
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: It's because I honestly I could cry, but I just

179
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: ate popcorn and all the salt is in my mouth.

180
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: I feel like I couldn't even force it into my eyeballs.

181
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: If I was feeling emotional, which I am. Does that

182
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: make sense, I don't know.

183
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure what's happening physiologically.

184
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Which I just feel like you but you've got to

185
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: pick a hole to have your salt right now it's

186
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: in my mouth. I could do the like Liz Lemon

187
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: thing where I start crying out of my.

188
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: Mouth after she gets like off brands never start drooling,

189
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: which also has kind of been my current reality.

190
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: Anyways, No, kay, I love you so much. I like

Speaker 4: we take pictures with Shrek regularly.

208
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: We avoid Beetlejuice regularly. And I also, I mean, I

209
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: really do think that like this show. But also you

210
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: specifically have like opened me up to movies that I

211
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: would not normally see and end up really loving this

212
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: show in general. It has really broadened my horizons in

213
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: terms of I mean in terms of a lot of things,

214
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: but just in terms of seeing things and in terms

215
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: of like thinking about movies.

216
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: It about who's making.

217
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: Them, and about like what I like and appreciate in

218
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: movies in a way that I didn't when this show started.

219
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: I was like, very much for someone with a film degree,

220
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: a very casual film watcher prior to this show.

221
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: You the other day were like, I'm gonna be in

222
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: Boston and there's a Lord of the Rings marathon that

223
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: I might go to of all three Lord of the

224
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 4: Rings movies, And I'm like, Jamie, what did you just

225
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 4: say to me?

226
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: I know I'm different. I've changed.

227
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe it.

228
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: I've changed.

229
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: And I also think said no pee breaks. I'm really

230
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: like addicted to the.

231
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 4: Idea of pissing your pants.

232
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: Infinite movies. No pea breaks.

233
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really know, but yeah, I there are

234
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: interests and like appreciations, and also like we've made friends

235
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: with our guests through making this show. It's just been

236
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful. And I think like one of the things

237
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: that I think was a cool kind of turning point

238
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: throughout this show was like I think it was between

239
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: like maybe late twenty eighteen into early Lockdown, where we

240
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: had covered a lot of movies that were, you know,

241
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: kind of generally blockbusters, or culturally formative in the broadest

242
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: sense during the time that we were growing up, and

243
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: then when we started to run out of those movies,

244
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: realized that, like, the show needs to evolve in all

245
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: of these ways. And not only have our guests obviously

246
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: been tremendously helpful in helping the show grow and sort

247
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: of broadening the kinds of movies we look at and

248
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: the movies we're championing and like who we are, Like,

249
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think like early bepelcasts us is like

250
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover Michael Bay movies because people have seen those,

251
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: and you know us now it's like, I think we're

252
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: more discerning and we're trying to and I just I

253
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that that has so much to

254
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: do with our guests and what our guests bring us,

255
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: as well as what our listeners bring us and have

256
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: asked for as time goes on. And it's really wonderful,

257
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: it really is.

258
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: And I loved seeing the show grow, and I certainly

259
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: have grown myself. I don't think I would be this.

260
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: Three inches taller than when we started. I'm six two.

261
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: Whoa, I'm rag five inches shorter somehow, Oh my god,

262
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 4: I know I'm sick. No, I've certainly grown as a

263
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 4: feminist by doing this show. I don't think I would

264
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 4: be as fervent and militant to feminist as I am

265
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: now if it were not for this show and all

266
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: of the research that I've had to do along the way.

267
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: And I'm grateful to the show and to feedback from

268
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: our listeners and insights from our guests for kind of

269
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: informing and shaping my journey with feminism. So it's just

270
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: been such a wonderful experience.

271
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: It's been really great.

272
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: So if you are a new or long time lister,

273
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: we've covered five hundred movies, and we have sort of

274
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: a dual interest here. We are interested in over the years,

275
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: what have been your favorite episodes? What are episodes that

276
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: have stuck with you? Because you know, we've covered five

277
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: hundred movies, but there's still at least movies we haven't covered.

278
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty more movies.

279
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: Exist, twenty two movies we haven't covered that have been released.

280
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, i'd be super curious of like,

281
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: over the years, what are episodes that you still think about?

282
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: What are types of episodes, what are guests that have

283
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: stuck with you?

284
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: And then moving forward.

285
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: We have had gosh, I think over a half decade now,

286
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: we've had our request page where listeners can send us

287
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: requests that have I think has become kind of increasingly

288
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: important in the show as time goes on, because we

289
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: want to know what our listeners want to hear, and

290
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: then we'll generally, you know, with some exceptions. It's like

291
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: there's no hard rules with our show, never really has been,

292
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: but we will first show potential guests the movies that

293
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: you want to hear about, and we want to you know,

294
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: show a diverse range of directors. We want to show

295
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: more diversity in like the times movies have come out,

296
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: because we've covered every single movie that came out in

297
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: two thousand and.

298
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: Three at this point, yep. And yeah, we want to

299
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: know what you're what you're.

300
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: Interested in hearing us talk about moving forward. So this

301
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: has bafflingly become h endorsement of an old Google doc

302
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: that we have that will be linked in the description.

303
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: Yes, which we rarely plug, but it is.

304
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: I know, I feel like it's really like and if

305
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: you know, you know thing.

306
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: It's true, right, But it is readily available on our

307
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: link tree, which is also where you can get the

308
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: tickets to that Shrek Tannic tour we were just talking about. Yeah,

309
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: but yeah, if you go to link tree slash spectal Cast,

310
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: you will see our listener request form. You will see

311
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: our letterboxed account, which we also.

312
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: Where we put our requests.

313
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess we haven't plugged it in a while,

314
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: and then we just end up getting a million dms

315
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: being like.

316
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,880
