Speaker 1: Look, may, oh, I see you my own look over
Speaker 1: there is that culture. Yes, goodness, wow, loves culture ding
Speaker 1: lost cultures. You're hearing our morning croak. This is the
Speaker 1: earliest episode in history.
Speaker 2: This is the earliest episode in history. Seven am, pt
Speaker 2: eight am empty. Here we go, now, Mountain girl, Mountain girl.
Speaker 1: So apparently if you see one of the Salt Lake
Speaker 1: City housewives in Park City at sundance, it's like not
Speaker 1: a big deal. And I don't understand.
Speaker 2: So what why isn't everyone shouting throwing roses at these
Speaker 2: women wherever they go? Oh my god, I was gagged
Speaker 2: talk about this.
Speaker 1: The one and only couple Seth and Meredith Mark, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, showed up to the wedding banquet after party.
Speaker 2: Stop looking stunning the both of them. Yes, there was
Speaker 2: a lion dance, a traditional lion dance with you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, gorgeous white people. Perhaps they were Mormons.
Speaker 2: I love potential Mormons doing the lion dance in front
Speaker 2: of a crowd.
Speaker 1: The lion dance. So you're not saying lion dance in
Speaker 1: like a fun way. You're saying lion dance like lo
Speaker 1: and dance.
Speaker 2: There was a traditional dance in Chinese culture and some
Speaker 2: Asian cultures, where people dressed in a traditional sequined lion
Speaker 2: costume and dance to loud symbols and drums. Oh Becka
Speaker 2: producer Becta, says, I love a traditional lion dance.
Speaker 1: Familiar with the lion dance? Okay, and the marx has
Speaker 1: joined in.
Speaker 2: The Marxies appreciated the lion dance. But Seth, this is
Speaker 2: someone who likes bits. Seth tasks me on the shoulder,
Speaker 2: holds up his phone. That's shazamming, and he goes, I
Speaker 2: don't know what this song is, and my Shazam doesn't know.
Speaker 1: He's a goofa loofa, one of the great goofa lufahs.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it gets them in trouble on the program.
Speaker 2: It gets them in trouble on the program, but we
Speaker 2: all know it's Ingest and Meredith looking wonderful, having a
Speaker 2: great time.
Speaker 1: Meredith.
Speaker 2: I want to use the platform to apologize. She invited
Speaker 2: me to the store. She was throwing a party that night.
Speaker 2: But I got guess what overserved? Could not make it?
Speaker 1: Were you overserved? I was overserved, but not in like
Speaker 1: a bad way I was. You can hear from my
Speaker 1: voice you were just like, it's time to cap it.
Speaker 1: I tapped it. I capped it at five. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: One of our our third a D on set a
Speaker 2: woman by the name of Nicola, and I stand a
Speaker 2: woman named Nicola. I love and especially third a D
Speaker 2: third a D. She was bringing us to the bar
Speaker 2: to get shots and here we go. It just that's
Speaker 2: that's the recipe for disaster.
Speaker 1: It was a disaster the same actually disaster with a
Speaker 1: Z yes z in the middle of that too. That's
Speaker 1: the best part. The best part of any party with
Speaker 1: the crew after you do anything is finding out who
Speaker 1: that girl is. That's like we're doing shots and more
Speaker 1: more than often it is someone on the AD team. Now,
Speaker 1: can you explain for all the readers, Katie's publicists, finalists
Speaker 1: and Kyle of course, who the that was the first
Speaker 1: time that that happened? Kyle, Kyles, I embrace you. A
Speaker 1: couple of people have come up to me at yes
Speaker 1: you guess that buries self identify as a Kyle's place
Speaker 1: for them to be likely story, we got to get
Speaker 1: a new shirt done, says Becca. I agree, maybe a jersey. Okay,
Speaker 1: So explain to the girls what an ad is and
Speaker 1: why they might want to blow off such theme.
Speaker 2: An assistant director vital part of any set. First AD
Speaker 2: is usually on set calling action, you know, kind of
Speaker 2: logistically moving the day along. Second AD is at base
Speaker 2: camp or as they say in Vancouver, circus, which I
Speaker 2: kind of Brittany, all eyes on the talent, all eyes
Speaker 2: on Nicola and Nicolas. Third AD, which also means she's
Speaker 2: in a circus capacity.
Speaker 1: She's a circus queen. Yes, she's she's on foot up
Speaker 1: the circus. She's on foot on the tightrope. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: basically for this person to be like we're doing shots,
Speaker 1: understand their job the entire process long as to keep
Speaker 1: things on time, get people where they're going. It is
Speaker 1: all about making the day. And so for those people
Speaker 1: at the whatever gathering, whatever party, whether it's at the Sundance,
Speaker 1: is his ass the scene or some sort of wrap situation.
Speaker 1: To see that person let off steam and go for
Speaker 1: it and say we're going to the bar ripping shots.
Speaker 1: I not only celebrate them, but I joined them in
Speaker 1: shot and I raise my glass. Now, Matt, you would
Speaker 1: be obsessed with this.
Speaker 2: Let's give a toast to Nicola, a morning toast to Nicola.
Speaker 1: To the third ad on the wedding banquet, thank you
Speaker 1: for getting the party going last night. I wasn't there,
Speaker 1: but I was always there in spirit. I'm always where.
Speaker 1: My sister is right by his side as a ghost.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm crying. You are with me in
Speaker 2: all ways. I was missing you, but one not thinking
Speaker 2: about Nicola. She was such an important third ad because
Speaker 2: she would have, especially in the night shoots, she had
Speaker 2: either Britney spears speaking of Britney, either Britney playing or
Speaker 2: biggest Swifty on stet always was blasting Taylor.
Speaker 1: There we go to you, to Nicola. To Nicola. A
Speaker 1: name of a swifty if I've ever heard one.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Now, Matt, what are you doing to gear up
Speaker 2: for a big trip that we're taking together?
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I want to talk about that,
Speaker 1: but can we just because we're in the disaster scene
Speaker 1: of can I just say that the wedding banquets reviews
Speaker 1: are out. They are extremely positive. Everyone's saying such gorgeous
Speaker 1: things like heartwarming. They're saying excellent ensemble. They're saying you
Speaker 1: Jung Yun is like another stand up performing. They're saying
Speaker 1: the words Joan Chen like they should have been saying
Speaker 1: on Oscar nomination this mornings, they love a bone to
Speaker 1: pick with you about that week and Joan Tren's name there.
Speaker 1: But they're saying these things, yes, and I just want
Speaker 1: to know from you. How did it feel watching the
Speaker 1: movie The Wedding Bankment, directed by Andrew On, friend of
Speaker 1: the pod director of Fire Island. How are you feeling
Speaker 1: in the dance. I feel so lucky. First of all,
Speaker 1: we are very lucky.
Speaker 2: We have distribution already April eighteenth, theaters get going.
Speaker 1: Come on Bleaker Street, Come on.
Speaker 2: Bleaker Street, thank you, Come on with shif Hans. Yes,
Speaker 2: but it's just nice to, you know, come in with that.
Speaker 2: And what a beautiful celebration of Andrew's talent as a filmmaker.
Speaker 2: Of all the crew, they so many of them flew
Speaker 2: out for this, so nice to see them again. Beautiful
Speaker 2: celebration of Kelly Marie Tran, who fucking tore a force.
Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. I'm so happy for her.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Just you fucking wait, Matt, just you
Speaker 2: fucking wait. Honki CHOHn place my boyfriend, his first English
Speaker 2: speaking role, his first time.
Speaker 1: In the States. He's wow, a glass skin baby.
Speaker 2: He is so gorgeous and so wonderful as a performer,
Speaker 2: just so great. I love an ensemble. I love an ensemble.
Speaker 2: Can I just say too? And Joan Chana Jungyun. I mean,
Speaker 2: they are the standouts in the film by far, and
Speaker 2: I'm so honored that I got to work with any
Speaker 2: of these people that I just named. And it was
Speaker 2: just such a beautiful thing for Andrew, he got the
Speaker 2: idea for the movie. I mean, he was approached to
Speaker 2: reimagine the movie at Sundance when he was there with
Speaker 2: Spaw Night his first home.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So it's so full circle in so many ways. And
Speaker 2: everyone at the fest, at the dance, I should say,
Speaker 2: at the disaster scene has been so so so warm
Speaker 2: and welcoming and kind of a.
Speaker 1: Fun I'm glad.
Speaker 2: I'm really grateful that I get to experience Park City
Speaker 2: Sundance before it moves to another city.
Speaker 1: Do we think that's definitely happening.
Speaker 2: So among the trustees, the board, the candidate cities are
Speaker 2: kind of witty, down to this is the scuttle butt.
Speaker 1: So this is just the scuttle buck. There's no there's
Speaker 1: no revelations happening here. And I have to say, I'm
Speaker 1: so disappointed that Park City is going to lose it,
Speaker 1: but it's who knows, it might not. Okay, what's the
Speaker 1: scuttle but what's the rumors? Scuttle butt is Salt Lake City?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, oh, just you know, fifteen miles away, but
Speaker 2: in a more sort of down the road, a little
Speaker 2: bit more infrastructure to support you know, the size of
Speaker 2: the scale of the festival totally. And then you could
Speaker 2: hop in a car and go to the ski left
Speaker 2: and walk around Park City. I'm sure park City, because
Speaker 2: that might be a really nice option because Park City
Speaker 2: still it doesn't totally strip the economy away from Park City.
Speaker 1: Well, and also you can still use Park City as
Speaker 1: those theaters and like, you know, maybe it wouldn't have
Speaker 1: to feel completely different. You know, it could be like
Speaker 1: because it is. I would I would imagine that the
Speaker 1: reason they're moving is because it's demanding a larger space.
Speaker 1: Is that ultimately why? Okay, so you're saying Salt Lake City,
Speaker 1: which I think is my weirdly my favorite option, and
Speaker 1: then you have have Cincinnati, which I think is actually
Speaker 1: kind of chic. And this is what James Shame as
Speaker 1: co writer of the Wedding Banquet original film and the
Speaker 1: new film. And he's the one who just I've been
Speaker 1: I've quote on this podcast many times before, has all
Speaker 1: these incredible thoughts about the way that like algorithmic structures
Speaker 1: have ruined society. Oh my god, I need some shots
Speaker 1: brought over.
Speaker 2: To us as well. Oh with James. James is a
Speaker 2: big proponent of Cincinnati. He's like, bring it to a
Speaker 2: city in the Midwest or somewhere where there's just a
Speaker 2: great cross section of all these different populations, bring different
Speaker 2: audiences in to appreciate this kind of film, Like that
Speaker 2: is what that is what Sundance should be as like
Speaker 2: a home for independent film. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: points were and then the third, which I find is
Speaker 2: super interesting. As a Colorado Boulder, Boulder would be very fun.
Speaker 1: Boulder keep the vibes of where we've always been, mountain vibes,
Speaker 1: and that is Boulder mountain time. Yes it is, it is,
Speaker 1: And oh agre just mountain time. I wouldn't want Sundance
Speaker 1: to not be in the mountain time region. Of course.
Speaker 1: Of course, Sundance is so huge for mountain time. It's
Speaker 1: the one time of year people even think about mountain time.
Speaker 1: If you're not living in it already. You're like, like,
Speaker 1: we had to get on this podcast today. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: Bowen is, let me chext notes eight am Mountain Time girl.
Speaker 2: Well okay, So you're saying it's the one time a
Speaker 2: year where people think about mountain Time.
Speaker 1: It's a huge moment for mountain time internationally.
Speaker 2: What do you have to say, Oh, I see, because
Speaker 2: guess what Aspen Gay Ski Week, We're all like, oh right,
Speaker 2: that's happening and you're there. Awesome, which no judgment because
Speaker 2: I would very much like to go one year, But
Speaker 2: it doesn't have quite the cultural impact. It doesn't give
Speaker 2: mountain Time the sort of legitimacy culturally as Sundance does.
Speaker 1: No Sundances, that's high culture. High culture. It brings mountain
Speaker 1: Time up with it because the rest of the year,
Speaker 1: mountain Time is in the doldrums with the housewives of
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. Think about this. Everything seeing on the
Speaker 1: house out of Salt Lake City that's not a vacation
Speaker 1: is happening in mountain time. That's why it's so good.
Speaker 1: You're onto something. Think about it. Think about the elevation
Speaker 1: in those women's brains. Like I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: I mean if We're going to quote Sarah Sherman's brain
Speaker 2: scientist neighbor, we're closer to the ozone here, and so
Speaker 2: we're going crazier exactly.
Speaker 1: Hack. Oh, just to get back on Meredith.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was like, first of all, congratulations on another
Speaker 2: stellar season. I looked both of them in the eye
Speaker 2: and said, thank you for being on the best show
Speaker 2: on television period.
Speaker 1: Yes, but did they say they received it? They received
Speaker 1: it such gracious people. M hm.
Speaker 2: And I said to Meredith, how do you feel about
Speaker 2: the season overall? She says, I liked it. I'm really
Speaker 2: happy with it. The finale was a bit truncated. She
Speaker 2: was like, I had issues with the finale and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, she was just like, it just felt
Speaker 2: a little It did feel like it ended on such
Speaker 2: an abrupt No, she.
Speaker 1: Agrees with us, She agrees with the community.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, And I didn't want to bring up like,
Speaker 2: how how do I move forward in this life? How
Speaker 2: do you and I move forward in this life as equal?
Speaker 2: Meredith Marx and Anti CAATs Navas stands very easily.
Speaker 1: Some thing very easily, because it's like we said to Anglie,
Speaker 1: it's like one feeds the other and the bigger the
Speaker 1: one gets, the bigger the other gets. It's a gorgeous
Speaker 1: symbiotic relationship. It's like if the substance was incredibly positive.
Speaker 1: That's what culture seventy and incredibly No, it's good, they
Speaker 1: got it. It's incredibly positive.
Speaker 2: No, I was gonna say, guess what, The Joker movies
Speaker 2: are just as big as the Batman movies. Say that,
Speaker 2: and those are two adversary locked into cosmic dance.
Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent. And I'm not even ascribing one
Speaker 1: Joker and one Batman because that if there's a hero
Speaker 1: and a villain. But here's what I would posit. Maybe
Speaker 1: both are anti heroes. Okay, that's the whole thing about Batman.
Speaker 1: And you forgot it. And I'm pointing to you, the
Speaker 1: royal you. I am saying you forgot that the Batman
Speaker 1: was an anti hero vigil lanty story because guess what. Sure,
Speaker 1: he saves lives and beats the villains, but you know what,
Speaker 1: he's a billionaire evil girl. You eight bars bars bars. Okay,
Speaker 1: you see, Meredith Marks, you didn't make it too. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry her store. By the way, I'm telling you, I've
Speaker 1: been a couple of times because I went to Sunence
Speaker 1: a few years ago. I made it up top of
Speaker 1: my priority list to get into merediths Marks's shop and
Speaker 1: it's a lovely experience. Next time, top of list for you. Yes,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll go together someday and we'll sort there. Oh,
Speaker 1: but if it moves, I hope it doesn't move, but
Speaker 1: maybe it has.
Speaker 2: To move next the last years, Matt and I would
Speaker 2: love to show up in any capacity, just just just
Speaker 2: to watch the films, to hang out at the accurate
Speaker 2: energy house, you know, to chill at the.
Speaker 1: Name so that. I love like the Chase Sapphire you know,
Speaker 1: fire pit fire, Yeah, I love it. I love like
Speaker 1: American Express hot chocolate bar, like truly. And that's what
Speaker 1: you're gonna get when you go to to Sundance is
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of incredibly sponsored quaint activities.
Speaker 2: Activations down, yeah, activations down.
Speaker 1: Hold my hotel phone's ringing one second picking up sounds
Speaker 1: positive so far. That would be wonderful, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: And then I'm according a podcast, but if you could
Speaker 2: leave it at the door, that would be wonderful.
Speaker 1: Oh this is good, Yes, that's great. He's so good
Speaker 1: at handling stuff like this. Yeah, okay, we're gonna leave
Speaker 1: that all in. Yeah. No, that was really good because
Speaker 1: I was I was sort of narrating to the readers,
Speaker 1: like exactly how well you're a communicator? How would you
Speaker 1: rate that interaction? That was a ten out of ten. Really,
Speaker 1: I love the dulcent tones that you spoken. Thank you,
Speaker 1: and I am recording a podcast, so if you could
Speaker 1: leave it outside the door, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: It's a little early, and so I'm not like totally on.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to interact with the world yet.
Speaker 1: You were giving Selena Gomez wrapped in the blanket asking
Speaker 1: for you know what I mean? That meme that's actually
Speaker 1: the best meme Selena Gomes wrapped in Like what is
Speaker 1: it like an Adirondack blanket? Yes, just a gorgeous big
Speaker 1: nit The best one that because it was like this
Speaker 1: is me when I did the best was when I
Speaker 1: calmly asked the flight attendant for ginger ale after waking
Speaker 1: up on the plane.
Speaker 2: It was Sydney Battle's tweet and it's one of the
Speaker 2: best tweets of all time.
Speaker 1: In a clear, calm voice.
Speaker 2: Here, this is it, Sidney battlesweet me right from my
Speaker 2: edible coma to ask the flight attendant for a ginger
Speaker 2: ale and a clear, considerate voice that conveys gratefulness and respect.
Speaker 1: Becker just put it in there. It is honestly, this
Speaker 1: picture of her and us is the image for this episode.
Speaker 1: This is exactly the vibe right now. Oh, this is
Speaker 1: Selena wrapped in this blanket and then us with our
Speaker 1: heads wrapped in this blanket. Tell Spencer who By the way,
Speaker 1: people have been asking about who's been crushing our graphic
Speaker 1: design It has not been the very busy Bowon Yang.
Speaker 1: It has been Spencer also very busy. Not that Bowenyang
Speaker 1: couldn't also tear down these graphic designs. But we have
Speaker 1: been truly blessed by the team rushing truly now, So
Speaker 1: you saw Meredith Marks. Were there any other Housewives sightings?
Speaker 1: There were many sightings.
Speaker 2: Lisa Barlow was I will reveal Queen of sun Dance,
Speaker 2: the Queen of Sundance. There's a Vita Tequila loam. Today
Speaker 2: was not able to make it to one of our
Speaker 2: producers and to Lisa with his husband, and they were
Speaker 2: so excited to see. They're like, Lisa Barlow, We're such
Speaker 2: huge fans. It's so nice to meet you. First thing
Speaker 2: she says to them is, Hi, guys, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: what do you guys think of Bronwyn? First thing out
Speaker 2: the kid's asking about bron I.
Speaker 1: Think we have to leave that in. Guys, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what do you guys think about Bronwyn? Like already, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is just remarkable.
Speaker 2: It's like, this is what I this is what I
Speaker 2: tend to forget about housewives honestly, is like, this is
Speaker 2: their real lives. It's not it's not as put on
Speaker 2: as we would like to as I am inclined to believe.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was watching and I was watching an
Speaker 1: interview with Bosama last night, who by the way, I've
Speaker 1: grown really like, I like, and I think it's like
Speaker 1: really really she brings so much to the show and
Speaker 1: also heartbreaking her home. Yes, so all the best to
Speaker 1: anyone who's still struggling, by the way, Like damn, But
Speaker 1: I was watching an interview with her, and she was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I did it because X Y Z reasons.
Speaker 1: And then she was like, my one thing was I
Speaker 1: really didn't realize it was going to be so real.
Speaker 1: But the relationships are very real, and sure the show
Speaker 1: is produced in terms of like they nudge you in
Speaker 1: terms of things to bring up or whatever. But the
Speaker 1: stuff that like all goes into the conflict for the
Speaker 1: episodes is real and all based in real stuff. And
Speaker 1: when you were arguing with someone, that's a real argument.
Speaker 1: It's not like you get off screen and high five
Speaker 1: and are like, you know, TII, we really ate that scene.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we just had an actual conflict that
Speaker 1: was captured for everyone. And she was saying that that
Speaker 1: was the big realization from her time on the show.
Speaker 1: So Lisa Barlow strolling down, even the Queen of Sun
Speaker 1: Dance has in the back of her mind, like her
Speaker 1: conflict with Bronwyn right Broadway is top of mind for
Speaker 1: her on a week like this. Well, you know want
Speaker 1: to know why, It's because I thought last week Lisa
Speaker 1: and Bronwyn was tocause Because honestly, even if you're not
Speaker 1: a big Bronwyn fan, I think one storyline where she
Speaker 1: was incredibly sympathetic and my heart Julie did break for
Speaker 1: her was when she shared the story of the background
Speaker 1: of you know, Gwen's parentage. So she has a daughter, Gwen,
Speaker 1: and she got pregnant out of wedlock with you know,
Speaker 1: a very Mormon baby daddy. Yeah, and the father and
Speaker 1: the mother of him basically didn't like accept her. Basically
Speaker 1: just tough Mormon stuff with the child coming and she
Speaker 1: was nineteen, Becker reminds us. And so it's been a very, very,
Speaker 1: very you know, difficult relationship. Gwen's father doesn't know her
Speaker 1: because he's passed away since Wow, this is, as I'm
Speaker 1: reminding myself, as I'm saying this darker, but it's anyway, guys,
Speaker 1: please give me grace, remember at seven am. But it's
Speaker 1: a tough situation and Lisa is some how finding herself
Speaker 1: in the middle of it. And I think that all
Speaker 1: Bronwin was really wanting in that reunion exchange was just
Speaker 1: for Lisa to acknowledge the fact that Gwen's feelings had
Speaker 1: been hurt by Lisa in regards to all this, and
Speaker 1: Lisa just couldn't do that. But I think Lisa is
Speaker 1: feeling the guilt and the impact of what she has
Speaker 1: maybe wrought by just by mentioning certain specifics on the
Speaker 1: after show, as it were, and I think she just
Speaker 1: might have a hard time apologizing or just taking any
Speaker 1: taking some accountability for a situation like this, And it's
Speaker 1: why we love Lisa.
Speaker 2: But it's also really it's I mean, that was a
Speaker 2: hard I mean we're huge Lisa Barlow fans in this house.
Speaker 1: That was a particularly tough thing to watch. But these
Speaker 1: are this is the thing.
Speaker 2: We're just saying that these are human beings and it's
Speaker 2: a show of antiheroes and we love them for it.
Speaker 1: So Lisa Barlow was out and about. I know, I
Speaker 1: saw Heather Gay and some photos.
Speaker 2: Well, Heather Gay and Stephen and our friends, even Simbari
Speaker 2: we're hanging out, coming in through that all time. I'm
Speaker 2: just so because I came to Sundance, I'm going a
Speaker 2: tight ish schedule. I'm disappointed. I don't have time to
Speaker 2: ski to hit the slopes here bummer. And I didn't
Speaker 2: really get a chance to screen any of other films.
Speaker 2: I was really excited for that opportunity. Didn't quite have
Speaker 2: time for that. And that's so hard.
Speaker 1: People don't even realize that it's like impossible to get into.
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's really tough.
Speaker 2: And so I'm shout out to anyone who came to
Speaker 2: our screening, thank you so much for coming to the Eccles.
Speaker 2: But I was just prepared mentally I was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, maybe there will be no Housewives moments this
Speaker 2: trip and.
Speaker 1: That will be okay, and lo and behold Meredith.
Speaker 2: Meredith, thank you for making I mean this was This
Speaker 2: just completed the entire experience for me. Thank you, Meredith,
Speaker 2: genuinely truly. Meredith and Seth, thank you for coming from
Speaker 2: supporting the film. They did not see the film, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: but they were very excited.
Speaker 1: To very hard to get in.
Speaker 2: I must reveal there was much consideration and discussion with
Speaker 2: Andrew as the director and the producers, who are all
Speaker 2: Housewives fans.
Speaker 1: There was a scene that we had to cut from
Speaker 1: the movie.
Speaker 2: Oh, Lily's character and I are in the back house
Speaker 2: hiding away from the situation that happens in the main house,
Speaker 2: and we're surrounded by all these boxes and we're just
Speaker 2: like escaping from our realities for a moment, and I'm
Speaker 2: showing Lily's character Lee, Chris is showing Lily's character Lee
Speaker 2: the beach scene where Heather gathers all the women to
Speaker 2: reveal reality bontee.
Speaker 1: And it's cut from the movie.
Speaker 2: It's cut from just because tonally it just kind of
Speaker 2: you know, I understand, but tonally it just didn't quite fit.
Speaker 2: But it was just it was going to be the
Speaker 2: biggest laugh in the film, I believe.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm ready to give my review of The Wedding Banquet. No, now,
Speaker 1: this movie could have been better. No, no, no, it
Speaker 1: had all the elements and I'm really disappointed I won't
Speaker 1: be able to support it in theaters.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Matthew, I understand I won't be able to
Speaker 2: support it. But no, it was I mean, like Lily
Speaker 2: and I were just improvising around the house and around
Speaker 2: the Salt Lake City house Wives.
Speaker 1: I was in heaven.
Speaker 2: The crew was crying, laughing, Our DP was shaking with laughter,
Speaker 2: being like what is this show? This sounds incredible? And
Speaker 2: I was like, you guys, you need to watch this, okay.
Speaker 1: Like truly you have spread the gospel. And then oh
Speaker 1: my god, for Meredith and Says to come to the party.
Speaker 1: Was that a full circle moment?
Speaker 2: Well, but they knew because I had to personally reach
Speaker 2: out to all the housewives because because our produce, our
Speaker 2: producers were not hearing back from their people to clear
Speaker 2: that clip, and so they were like, Bowen, can you
Speaker 2: please do us a solid? And so I had to
Speaker 2: like reach out draft this beautiful letter heart from the heart.
Speaker 2: I was like, whatever, I can read it at some point.
Speaker 2: I can't pull it up now, but because it will
Speaker 2: take too long.
Speaker 1: But oh my god, we do at some point you
Speaker 1: need a reading of it that we do the housewives.
Speaker 2: But they were all so understanding, so wonderful, so generous
Speaker 2: with letting us like use that moment in our film.
Speaker 2: And I'm so disappointed, but you know, for for reasons
Speaker 2: they understand.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I know, this is not a contemption thing. I'm just like, Oh,
Speaker 2: that's like my one thing that I mourned.
Speaker 1: But deleted scenes, I mean, this is yet another Bowen
Speaker 1: Yang deleted scene. Oh my goodness, you might be the
Speaker 1: legend of you might be the legend of the cutting
Speaker 1: room floor. I missed deleted DVD culture was deleted scene
Speaker 1: culture And now we have YouTube and featurette culture feature
Speaker 1: at culture, Yeah definitely, but the feature rats like with
Speaker 1: the YouTube, so if you have to seek it out right,
Speaker 1: And I'm so glad I sought out the substance feature
Speaker 1: because I loved that after see it. But with feature
Speaker 1: rec Culture and deleted scene Culture that was presented in
Speaker 1: front of you as part of the package as part
Speaker 1: of like the sit down. I'm gonna say this right now,
Speaker 1: there's one film that we both love that had amazing
Speaker 1: DVD features, and I think this movie, if you really
Speaker 1: boil it down to DVD culture and when it was
Speaker 1: at its peak, Yes, this movie is peak d culture.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna say it on three together. No, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what you mean. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it, and you're gonna wish that you would throw
Speaker 1: the dice. I'm gonna countdown three, two one. Charlie's Angels fold?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Why was I so under confident? You said,
Speaker 1: Charlie sentel. I was gonna say Charlie's Angels fold throttle
Speaker 1: first of all, Charlie's Angels. No, because Charlie's Angels years later.
Speaker 1: I knew you knew, I knew you. Why did I
Speaker 1: ever doubt myself? I love you, love you back. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I knew you knew. Did Charlie's
Speaker 1: Angels special features the first one, especially because like the
Speaker 1: way the fire and the rock music would be playing,
Speaker 1: like God, just the best movies ever, best movies ever?
Speaker 1: Can I say ever?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Matt if you're gonna get asked by
Speaker 2: letterbox very soon what your four favorites are? Oh god,
Speaker 2: both times I've been asked, Both times I've said Charlie's Angels,
Speaker 2: And this time on the red Up yesterday they were there.
Speaker 2: I was able to share it because Charlie XCX's letterbox
Speaker 2: to league, did you see this?
Speaker 1: I did, and I really enjoyed Charlie XCX's Letterbox.
Speaker 2: Charlie Sangels that was on that list HM, which then
Speaker 2: prompted me to reach out to her and be like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, that movie's online, And then we both
Speaker 2: bonded about how it is cinema classic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so good. I mean, like it's also like
Speaker 1: so gorgeously self aware. I mean just it's so fun.
Speaker 1: It exists to be fun, but also the plot is
Speaker 1: good and the twists are good. Yes, absolutely, what do
Speaker 1: you make of the scuttle?
Speaker 2: But now that part three, I mean all the women
Speaker 2: are on board for part three.
Speaker 1: The three of them got on a zoom with DEMI.
Speaker 2: Recently just discussing how fun that movie was full throttle,
Speaker 2: and I just they all look like I want to
Speaker 2: see them all on a movie again like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would deeplay, especially because Cameron's now, I guess
Speaker 1: out of retirement in some way fashion. I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, while we love Drew on her daytime show,
Speaker 1: would be great to see her in the cinema. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Lucy's making a comeback, and Lucy's always welcome, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and also Demi's having the moment Tom did. Of course,
Speaker 1: I don't know a spoiler alert for Charlie's Angel's full throttle,
Speaker 1: but to me does die plummet into a fiery pit.
Speaker 1: So it would be a lot for her to come back,
Speaker 1: because they really do show her becoming engulfed in flames.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. In the world of
Speaker 1: Charlie's Angels, crazier things have literally happened. Truly. She is
Speaker 1: engulfed in flames in a theater in downtown La. Yeah,
Speaker 1: after she swings, yes, swing on Chinese lanters all the
Speaker 1: way downtown.
Speaker 2: Swing on Chinese lanterns and string lights all the way
Speaker 2: from Hollywood to downtown La, which is what at least
Speaker 2: like seven miles.
Speaker 1: I can't say. Let's just say it was an incredible
Speaker 1: feat for them to accomplish, especially because there are not
Speaker 1: Chinese lanters hanging in the entire way down there like
Speaker 1: you couldn't. This is the part what you really had
Speaker 1: to suspend disbelief bo once you get to the end
Speaker 1: of Charlie Sandels fuld Thttle, if you hadn't suspended disbelief
Speaker 1: by now it's time to start. It's seven miles of
Speaker 1: string lights and just swinging like Spider Man. Yeah, through
Speaker 1: the low, through the low, low neighborhoods. Absolutely no tall
Speaker 1: buildings in you know, Westlakeer Echo Park. Let's just say, really,
Speaker 1: a comment on how bad traffic congestion can be here.
Speaker 1: Really a comment on that, and a smart comment on that,
Speaker 1: and a smart fun comment that we didn't even pick
Speaker 1: up on until now, all these years later.
Speaker 2: But we're talking about it now, and this is just
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be cloying and say, this is really highlighting
Speaker 2: our love for Los Angeles hashtags stay in La.
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, Well, you know now they're really trying to
Speaker 1: there's lots of movements now to try to get more
Speaker 1: production back here, because it's kind of ridiculous. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what Newsom should do next, is he should we
Speaker 1: should try to figure out Obviously this is not as
Speaker 1: like easily said, in all these tax incentives and tax
Speaker 1: breaks that all these other states get to shoot, here's
Speaker 1: a novel idea. How about bringing those to California? Right,
Speaker 1: like revitalized, revive the industry. Here again, I don't know shit,
Speaker 1: but it feels like something where I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: leep saying like, oh, well, it's easy to shoot in Georgia. Well,
Speaker 1: it's easy to shoot in fucking Canada, Pennsylvania, saying all
Speaker 1: these places. I'm like, what why can't that be in California?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love a Keyxote trailer and you only get
Speaker 2: those in California.
Speaker 1: Baby got to video Village, not video village, I got
Speaker 1: to I got to base camp yesterday for my own
Speaker 1: new project, can't say yet, hopefully can say soon. I
Speaker 1: walked onto a studio lot. It was base camp on
Speaker 1: a studio lot, and it felt like hooray for Hollywood,
Speaker 1: and I was getting put into hair and makeup and
Speaker 1: actually it's more of a costume than I've done ever.
Speaker 1: And then the tour went by and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I had a little boy moment where I was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like I made it. I'm in costume as
Speaker 1: the tour goes by, and I'm on a studio a lot,
Speaker 1: and it was fun and I was like, see, this
Speaker 1: is the whole Hollywood California thing. It's literally hooray for
Speaker 1: Holly Good. The song that plays when you ring my doorbell,
Speaker 1: that lovey Unrose, it's a rotation. That's amazing you. I
Speaker 1: love that damn song. It's really a hit. It's really
Speaker 1: a hit. They knew they had something when they wrote it.
Speaker 1: They knew they had something when they wrote it. Well,
Speaker 1: that's my sundance experience for the most part. That's the gist.
Speaker 1: But wait, one more thing. What's the buzz on kiss
Speaker 1: of the Spider Woman? Buzz on Kiss of the Spider Woman?
Speaker 1: Is that it is really really good. It's very entertaining.
Speaker 1: I think Vulture just put out a review saying I'm
Speaker 1: not being too generous with it, but I'm still seeing
Speaker 1: it anyway. I don't fucking care.
Speaker 2: Bill Condon, this is the thing in the bill content
Speaker 2: I'm seeing. I'm seated and for j Lo, like, come on.
Speaker 1: I mean listen, all you have to do is say
Speaker 1: j low is going to be dancing in like a
Speaker 1: Hollywood production, like and that Bill Conson is doing it,
Speaker 1: and then I'm kind of there, like we'll see. I
Speaker 1: guess the reviews because I've also been reading the reviews
Speaker 1: and it seems like a takeaway is it's obviously two
Speaker 1: very different movies. If you don't know the story of
Speaker 1: Kisse of the Spider Woman, so it's about Argentinian prisoners,
Speaker 1: and one of them is a openly flamboyantly gay window
Speaker 1: dresser and the way he sort of deals with his
Speaker 1: life is by imagining in his mind Hollywood sequences and
Speaker 1: big dance numbers that feature his favorite star, La Luna,
Speaker 1: and that is played by Jennifer Lopez, and so Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lopez sort of exists as a movie within a movie,
Speaker 1: so that these two characters who are undergoing torture and
Speaker 1: you know, a very very very bleak existence in an
Speaker 1: Argentinian small prison style can sort of like escape somewhere, escape,
Speaker 1: you know, and deal with the trauma of their circumstances.
Speaker 1: It's really interesting. That's it excellent musical, but as a
Speaker 1: movie it feels like a tough adaptation. And I think
Speaker 1: some of the comments are that it obviously feels like
Speaker 1: two very different movies, and one is more enjoyable than
Speaker 1: the other. But we'll see. Yes, that's just the buzz
Speaker 1: on the ground. We literally will see the movie. That's
Speaker 1: the scuttle butt on that huge, huge praise and buzz
Speaker 1: for Ava Victor's film, Sorry, Baby, Wow, nice the debut
Speaker 1: of a new a new filmmaking voice.
Speaker 2: They I mean, Ava Victor is getting so many accolades
Speaker 2: and they were so happy for them. A friend of
Speaker 2: the show, friend of the show, We love Ava so
Speaker 2: exciting just just on some many like Lucas Hedges.
Speaker 1: Is in that movie. Cool. Natalie Rodter Ateman friend of
Speaker 1: the show. Also in that film is Natalie up at Sundance.
Speaker 2: I don't think she is. I would have loved to
Speaker 2: see her. I don't think she is, unfortunately, or maybe
Speaker 2: she is. Maybe I just missed her.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm not everyone's here for like a
Speaker 1: full five six days, and I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Here for two nights and I'm scuting. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: gotta do it right next time.
Speaker 1: What are you coming back so quickly for? Like? What
Speaker 1: is it the I gotta work on the shoot tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So then at the end of the week, this is
Speaker 1: where we say we're going to We're having a Vegas moment,
Speaker 1: my first Vegas moment since high school. Wow. Wow, yeah
Speaker 1: has changed. We are having a vaguus moment. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. We are doing it big. We
Speaker 1: are seeing on Friday night Shanayah, on Saturday night Mariah.
Speaker 1: Is it Diva's Live or what? Or what up in
Speaker 1: this piece? I cannot wait? Or what?
Speaker 2: My My family never did the Vegas shows. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess, like the kids don't even really.
Speaker 1: Get no, no, no, it's not a family thing. I
Speaker 1: mean the first time I ever went was in college,
Speaker 1: and I remember, like my like dumb basic ass was
Speaker 1: like it's like Disney World for adults, which is literally
Speaker 1: what it is.
Speaker 2: I got to take you on the roller coaster. I
Speaker 2: don't know about that. Why how about you take me shopping?
Speaker 2: That's the roller coaster?
Speaker 1: A right, we can go shopping. We can definitely go shopping.
Speaker 1: We can definitely go to the buffet. We will definitely
Speaker 1: be going to the shows. We will be on one.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. And I just if there's a camera
Speaker 1: up in here and the best because of that's for
Speaker 1: if you see us. Yeah, if there's a camera up
Speaker 1: in here, it's gonna leave with me when I do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm taking that camera. Does she say touch my body?
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the set list. I'll be shook
Speaker 1: if she doesn't. I love touch my body. Ohay. Also
Speaker 1: legend and the music video unbelievable legend. So we're supposed
Speaker 1: to do. I think the suggestion is that everyone wear
Speaker 1: a little glittery something to Mariah and everyone wear a
Speaker 1: little leopard something to Shanaya. Oh, I don't think I
Speaker 1: have the leopard your coat that you wore on the
Speaker 1: Red Carpet two. I saw your look. I saw your
Speaker 1: lank Fisher marniecoat, a Marnie zebra coat. And what were
Speaker 1: those pants like? Purple plaid pants? They were blue plaid pants.
Speaker 1: Never can tell them apart.
Speaker 2: Of no problem and some fun power clashing, a Michael
Speaker 2: Fisher nudge, A polite Michael Fisher nudge.
Speaker 1: We love him.
Speaker 2: By the way, can we get your response to the oscarms?
Speaker 2: Talk about bagas and then we'll talk about Oscar toms
Speaker 2: a bit. I mean, we said that's what we're gonna
Speaker 2: be this weekend. We will have a full report when
Speaker 2: we get back.
Speaker 1: Yep, let's talk Oscar noms. Okay, So first, of all
Speaker 1: I want. My big takeaway is that you guys were great.
Speaker 1: Oh things like you and Rachel so much fun together.
Speaker 1: I love the old comedy joke about how it's just
Speaker 1: comedy for gays and women. It's true. This was a
Speaker 1: really fun they You guys did look amazing and great pronunciation.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Can I say your French was jumping out girl?
Speaker 1: It helps. It helps to speak a language, to have
Speaker 1: a flexible tongue. I think I'd be truly adrift. I
Speaker 1: thought the USCAR nominations were pretty good. I have my
Speaker 1: disappointments of my disappointment not to see Margaret quality there.
Speaker 1: I really am very disappointment not to see Margaret. I
Speaker 1: can't say I'm like totally in love with the supporting
Speaker 1: categories for whatever reasons, no challengers noms. I think the
Speaker 1: challenger's lack of love sucks. But you know, I've seen
Speaker 1: almost everything this year, and I'm not going to go
Speaker 1: out of my way to say anything negative. But there's
Speaker 1: some boring stuff that's like floated to the top. Like
Speaker 1: for me, it's like, I don't know, like I just
Speaker 1: I think it could have been a little bit more
Speaker 1: interesting had we thrown in like yeah, challengers into Best
Speaker 1: Picture if we had seen even like, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: this movie because it terrifies me, but like people loved
Speaker 1: us faratu. I was like, it's got lots of craft
Speaker 1: nomene Yeah, a lot of technical stuff.
Speaker 2: But well, I was I was just buzzing through because
Speaker 2: there was about a four hour window where they took
Speaker 2: your phones away.
Speaker 1: I get in and the Academy's like phones place.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, of course, so I get in
Speaker 2: my flight lands at twelve thirty.
Speaker 1: I have to be at the academy at one am.
Speaker 1: Oh damn. And then oh I didn't know it was
Speaker 1: like this.
Speaker 2: They snatched your phones away and then I am basically
Speaker 2: prepping for four hours doing little social hits, but also
Speaker 2: about a solid hour of pronunciation training with the wonderful
Speaker 2: Cliff at the academy, who uh lewis Rotel shouted out
Speaker 2: to me over DMS. He was like, that is the
Speaker 2: Oscar Oracle. That is, he is the Oscar Oracle.
Speaker 1: And so they tell you who the nominees are going
Speaker 1: to be beforehand. Yeah, so I get a big binder
Speaker 1: that has all the nominees. Oh wow, And so you
Speaker 1: were so you got to be a little gagged beforehand.
Speaker 1: I was gagged.
Speaker 2: Beforehand, flipping through being like, oh my god, Sebastian like
Speaker 2: so fun.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Wait, so I've now seen The Apprentice.
Speaker 1: Those nominations are really well deserved. Jeremy, congrats, Jeremy's about
Speaker 1: And I understand people are like squeamish about watching the
Speaker 1: movie The Apprentice because of the trump of it all,
Speaker 1: but like, when you do get around to it, those
Speaker 1: performances are excellent and I enjoyed the movie. I really did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess this is my thing is It's like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of like interesting, bold movies out there, and
Speaker 1: I want to say, I think I just got used
Speaker 1: to the idea that something like The Substance could be
Speaker 1: nominated for Best Picture, so that when it was, I'm
Speaker 1: not giving it its flowers right now. It's amazing. So
Speaker 1: many things are nominated and up there for awards that
Speaker 1: like would not normally be and I think it's great.
Speaker 1: Lots of international stuff is nominated. I'm just gonna say it,
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy about a complete unknown. And in fact,
Speaker 1: to say to say I'm not crazy about it as
Speaker 1: an understatement, I find it to be a Wikipedia to
Speaker 1: a karaoke track. That's the read I'll give on for this.
Speaker 1: I mean, especially because he did walk the line, which
Speaker 1: was so good, right, Like, I just feel like it
Speaker 1: was this. It was like a low impact version of
Speaker 1: that same movie. I think it's really hard to like
Speaker 1: dramatize and bring emotion to the story of someone who
Speaker 1: was by definition unknowable and very removed. And I just
Speaker 1: I did not find it that compelling of a story
Speaker 1: because I actually think that not every cultural figure has
Speaker 1: a compelling story.
Speaker 2: If anyone injected like actual stakes into that film, it
Speaker 2: was I'm gonna say, weirdly Norbert Leobads, Yeah, I mean yeah,
Speaker 2: he was the character where I'm like, oh, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: this is this is why we should care question Mark.
Speaker 1: It had its moments, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: I thought, like I said, I thought. I thought the
Speaker 1: ensemble was great. I thought the casting was excellent. It's
Speaker 1: just it didn't add up to an altogether very compelling
Speaker 1: story for me. And I thought the performances in terms
Speaker 1: of the music were good. You know, it's something against it.
Speaker 1: It's just I look at the Oscar nominations and see
Speaker 1: that it did so well, and I'm like, now, really,
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's just how I feel. I'm not crazy
Speaker 1: about that movie. I wasn't crazy about Conclave, but again,
Speaker 1: I did see that on election day. You watched it
Speaker 1: on election day.
Speaker 2: I went into Conclave being like this is probably not
Speaker 2: gonna be for me.
Speaker 1: Really really enjoyed it? Yeah, no, I mean a lot
Speaker 1: many many people did. And there's so many movies up
Speaker 1: there that I'm like, I really loved. It's just I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just some of them. I just don't
Speaker 1: care that much.
Speaker 2: There's a whole TikTok about how the scansion on its
Speaker 2: very nice to Me, Like, how fucking crazy? Why would
Speaker 2: the emphasis be on those specific syllables. There's no like
Speaker 2: you could just go skip the very hello nice to me,
Speaker 2: Hello very nice as opposed to hello very nice to me.
Speaker 1: It's like so it's like I don't totally buy into.
Speaker 2: The idea that like it's meant to be like caustic
Speaker 2: and it's meant to sound like a melodic or whatever.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, like standing the musical sort of like zone,
Speaker 2: shall we say, and just like deliver first of all,
Speaker 2: not onlyamos if.
Speaker 1: Amlia Perez has no haters. I'm dead. Well, there you go.
Speaker 1: First of all, you know who completely snubbed that movie,
Speaker 1: Glad Right, well, there you go, right there. So, first
Speaker 1: of all, I know there's a lot of discourse about
Speaker 1: this movie from the trans community, from the Mexican community.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna weigh in on any of that. What
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is this movie is at the same
Speaker 1: time it's so chaotic and it is also so boring.
Speaker 1: It's both. It's kind of crazy, right because it just
Speaker 1: comes in and sweeps these nominations, and now I have
Speaker 1: to ask why come on? Like Becca says, twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five is green Book, But it's not like that though,
Speaker 1: because green I guess in kind it sort of is,
Speaker 1: because it's like a you know, a queer movie that
Speaker 1: people feel like they can get behind in the Academy.
Speaker 1: But it feels different to me.
Speaker 2: It's already the villain though of this, of the season
Speaker 2: and the campaign, and so I feel like, I don't
Speaker 2: know if they can go the distance in the words
Speaker 2: of Lisa Barlowe.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. I don't know how I feel
Speaker 1: about it being the villain either. It's just like it's
Speaker 1: not good enough to be the front runner. In my eyes.
Speaker 1: And it's also not like I'm also uncomfortable with the
Speaker 1: amount of hatred that it's garnering, because then you look
Speaker 1: at some corners of the internet and it's like people,
Speaker 1: it's people like you know, I won't even say the
Speaker 1: names of like some of these YouTubers I've watched, but
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, they they play the clip
Speaker 1: of that sex change operation thing, and then it cuts
Speaker 1: back to them and they're hating it. It's like Becka saying,
Speaker 1: right now, hating it for all the wrong reasons, right,
Speaker 1: and like, you know, that feels really uncomfortable. But then
Speaker 1: when you put that clip out there as a representation
Speaker 1: of the movie, how exactly do you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be received. I don't know. This is a really bizarre
Speaker 1: cultural moment this movie, because it's like I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. I think they decided really early on.
Speaker 1: I think it premiered it can and they decided really
Speaker 1: early on this was like the prestige big movie of
Speaker 1: the year, and also it's Netflix and everything, so it'll
Speaker 1: kind of packaged up to be this like big Oscar movie.
Speaker 1: And then everyone saw it and everyone has these like
Speaker 1: crazy polarizing responses to it for good reason. And again,
Speaker 1: this has nothing to say about the performances. The performances
Speaker 1: are great and it's well done, and I think Zoe
Speaker 1: Saldania will win the Oscar for it, and she's stunning.
Speaker 1: But this movie, it's like, what exactly are we watching?
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be all these genres. Sometimes that's
Speaker 1: just confusing. I find the story to be compelling.
Speaker 2: It's compelling, but it also doesn't quite make sense either,
Speaker 2: and like the first doc stuff, it's like, well, why
Speaker 2: is she the one who has to like figure out
Speaker 2: logistically all these things?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's is that are our bounce on the and
Speaker 2: the words of Seth Meyers our bounces.
Speaker 1: That might be our bounce. I just thought there was
Speaker 1: there were so many great movies this year, and then
Speaker 1: some of them the ones that I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are the Givens in the Oscar Race. You know,
Speaker 1: you get around to watching them and like you're like, Okay, sure,
Speaker 1: I guess I guess we've decided this is the representation
Speaker 1: of film this year.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, before we move on, I don't think sooney,
Speaker 2: can we just talk about the announcement that just came
Speaker 2: out that we are officially coming out with the Rules
Speaker 2: of Culture volume Thank.
Speaker 1: You for reminding me. Oh my god, Yes, your girls
Speaker 1: are authors, future authors. Bon Yang and I will be
Speaker 1: co authoring The Rules of Culture volume one that is
Speaker 1: being announced today. We're doing it under Andy Cohen's imprint.
Speaker 1: Thank you King, Thank you Father. Twenty twenty six. We're
Speaker 1: eyeing publication for twenty twenty six, but we are excited
Speaker 1: to announce that now, and we are excited to get
Speaker 1: to work on it. And it's like, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: different than you may think. I think that a lot
Speaker 1: of people have been reaching out being like, where's the
Speaker 1: coffee table book with the Rules of Culture? Heard your
Speaker 1: suggestion there, We're going to do something a little bit
Speaker 1: different and a little bit more fun for us. We're
Speaker 1: putting our foot into this book. Yes, oh interesting in
Speaker 1: a sexual way. No, I don't think of putting your
Speaker 1: foot into it as necessarily a sexual thing. I just mean,
Speaker 1: you really put your foot in that, like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, isn't that an expression? Yes? But
Speaker 1: also it could be a kink. I think let's say
Speaker 1: it's both. Yes, we will be putting our foot into
Speaker 1: it in a writerly and kinky sense.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we're so excited and thank you to everyone
Speaker 2: at Crown Publishing Group, agents and all those wonderful people
Speaker 2: who make dreams come true. Oh, this is a dream
Speaker 2: come true Penguin Random House. We're so excited to work with.
Speaker 1: Y'all and Andy Cohen himself. Of course, this will be
Speaker 1: a true blast to do. And it's coming next year.
Speaker 1: What else is the time for. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: I think it's time. Yeah. This is a scant episode,
Speaker 1: you guys, because it is early in the morning. This
Speaker 1: is one of those weeks where this was the only
Speaker 1: time we could do this and it is seven am
Speaker 1: for me, eight am for Bowen in mountain time. But
Speaker 1: we love This was really the mountain episode. Then last
Speaker 1: week was the laughing episode. This was the mountain episode.
Speaker 1: All right, I have something that I could do for
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. It's something that I'm like
Speaker 1: notice more and more and I can't wrap my head
Speaker 1: around it.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, this is Matt Rodgers. I don't think Sony's
Speaker 2: time starts now.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. You're working out with all
Speaker 1: your jewelry on, Like I'll be a Barry's boot camp
Speaker 1: and literally on the on the treadmill next to me
Speaker 1: will be a woman in full earrings, Bengals and more. Literally,
Speaker 1: yesterday I was at the Hollywood location and I'm putting
Speaker 1: some of you on blast. If you take class with me,
Speaker 1: a woman's earrings full in. The guy next to me
Speaker 1: watches bracelets and a necklace. The guy on the other
Speaker 1: side of me a necklace, and I'm like, guys, what
Speaker 1: if something falls off? This becomes a project dial. And
Speaker 1: this is another installment in becoming a projectile culture. This
Speaker 1: is why you always wear seatbelts. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna be safe. If there's an accident,
Speaker 1: you become a project dial. If there's an accident at Berry's,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. When you're a koutra monster
Speaker 1: guying everywhere and your ear ring mama on treadsticks becomes
Speaker 1: a project dial. Take the earrings off, put them in
Speaker 1: the lockers they provide for you. I don't like jewelry
Speaker 1: and all these things. Watch is flying around. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. During the workout, not during group fitness,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 2: That's one minute that is really I would say slightly dangerous.
Speaker 1: First of all, why would you want to wear all
Speaker 1: that stuff while you're dealing with weights and like materials
Speaker 1: like and positions where you have to like engage your
Speaker 1: body in certain ways.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's say you're not at barries, you're at the gym.
Speaker 2: You're with some machinery and some hardware. Like that's just
Speaker 2: a disaster zone, Like you're something's gonna get snagged and caught.
Speaker 1: No things get caught on stuff. And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's just like and then the guy next to me
Speaker 1: did that thing where he tried to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: at the end of a sprint at berries, like what
Speaker 1: people will try to jump to the sides instead of
Speaker 1: like running it down like like okay, okay, we're we're
Speaker 1: running out now. And then I have to say that
Speaker 1: bugs me because I'm like, you're gonna hurt yourself. No
Speaker 1: I know, but that's I think that you jumping to
Speaker 1: the sides of the of the treadmill like in order
Speaker 1: to relieve yourself of the strenuous activity. I feel like
Speaker 1: that is how people are going to hurt themselves. It's
Speaker 1: like it's it's not a natural movement, and it just
Speaker 1: makes me nervous next to you. I'm not yelling at you,
Speaker 1: bo No, I'm just saying I don't want you to
Speaker 1: hurt yourself out. Thank you. I never said that. I
Speaker 1: never knew you were this type of girl. Congratulations one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty classes, by the way, thank you, huge feet.
Speaker 1: And I started working with a trainer. The fans of
Speaker 1: the Ride podcast may know JR. I actually asked him.
Speaker 1: I asked him yesterday. I was like, so, does does
Speaker 1: Benny talk about you on the Ride podcast because he
Speaker 1: trains Benny Drama And he goes, yes, Benny and Mary Beth,
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, wow, so this is someone
Speaker 1: I feel sad I'm actually seeing him in two hours.
Speaker 1: I feel safe mentioning him on the pod. But now
Speaker 1: you have to ask. Nowadays the pod is so huge,
Speaker 1: you never know who's going to be uncomfortable by putting
Speaker 1: thrust into the limelight of lost culture. One of the
Speaker 1: funniest things about watching the nominations live because I did.
Speaker 1: I woke up early, as I want to do I
Speaker 1: guess lately, so I could watch you do the nominations live,
Speaker 1: and it's like I watch it on YouTube. Yes, I
Speaker 1: watched it live. I watched the whole thing. I woke up,
Speaker 1: I woke up at five twenty seven am, put that
Speaker 1: laptop on my chest and opened it for you, and
Speaker 1: Rachel sent it pronouncing French and looking hot. And one
Speaker 1: thing I'll say is the entire YouTube chat almost says
Speaker 1: people from Brazil going crazy for Fernando Torres, and I'm
Speaker 1: still here. I think she could actually win, like, and
Speaker 1: now that she's nominated, like if I do think to
Speaker 1: me is still a front runner. But I think that
Speaker 1: Fernando Torres's performance in that is so stunning that if
Speaker 1: people actually watch all of them, it might be hard
Speaker 1: not to vote for her. But obviously we're still teamed
Speaker 1: to me here and and team Cynthia.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's I think, I do think it is
Speaker 2: a very fun stacked Best Actress.
Speaker 1: Racist love Best Actress this year. It ended up being
Speaker 1: such a competitive year, and you know, to say nothing
Speaker 1: of fucking Mighty Madison, who's absolutely amazing and as.
Speaker 2: Some people I think are rightfully feeling the Nicole Kidman snub,
Speaker 2: like that's a major snub, hugely Oscar worthy performance. I
Speaker 2: love baby girl, Nicole Kidman and Baby Girl like it's
Speaker 2: it's wild that she keeps getting better, but she is
Speaker 2: getting better.
Speaker 1: I mean to say nothing of Mariannejean Baptiste, who was
Speaker 1: also amazing on her Truth, which is a tough movie
Speaker 1: but like an unbelievable performance. You know. I loved Pam
Speaker 1: and Last Show Girl Like. There was so much going
Speaker 1: on this year and Best Actress, so kudos to those nominated. Kudos. Oh,
Speaker 1: I guess I haven't technically done my I don't think, Sonny,
Speaker 1: you have not technically done it. So this is your
Speaker 1: technical I don't think, Sonia. Are you ready to sort
Speaker 1: of shred? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I was speaking of shred. Oh, thank you
Speaker 2: for setting me up like that, for teeming me up
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Go, this is going Yang's I don't think so, Honey,
Speaker 1: his time starts now.
Speaker 2: I don't think so many cross country skiing. I'm seeing
Speaker 2: some of you do this out here in Park City,
Speaker 2: Utah as I'm driving into town. Why what's the point.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm gonna get lectured. There's probably so many
Speaker 2: wonderful reasons to do it. In the times that I've
Speaker 2: done it, I see no value. I see no enjoyment
Speaker 2: out of it.
Speaker 1: I see jelly sore legs the next day, or even
Speaker 1: the same day, even day of If you're going down
Speaker 1: the slopes, I know there's risk of danger. I know
Speaker 1: it's scary, but at least you feel exhilarated. You go, wow,
Speaker 1: fucking I went down a whole ass mountain in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna eat a fat ass burger or a
Speaker 2: big pizza at the lodge to reward myself. There's none
Speaker 2: of that built into cross country skiing.
Speaker 1: You're in a field, you pass by a horse who's
Speaker 1: like five hundred feet away. It doesn't really give the
Speaker 1: give and I don't really and I'm seeing people still
Speaker 1: do it. I thought we left that.
Speaker 2: I thought we left that in the seventies, the eighties
Speaker 2: or whatever, the nineties. Why are we doing it in
Speaker 2: the year of Our Lord twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1: And that's one minute. I'm so sorry to hear this.
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's hard for me. Yeah, I mean, and
Speaker 1: you were so you really want to go to Aspens
Speaker 1: Ski Week? I do. I really do. Okay, so we'll
Speaker 1: go and you can do your thing, and I guess
Speaker 1: I'll be that girl in the house that's like drinking.
Speaker 1: I would love for you too, don't say it, learn
Speaker 1: I mean, I would do some greens with you, and
Speaker 1: I think you would have a good time. I've never
Speaker 1: talked to someone who had gone skiing that didn't have
Speaker 1: a torn acl. S right, what about me? What about you?
Speaker 1: What about you? For one? Oh, you ever thought about
Speaker 1: that you have a torn acl? You don't even know? Sure?
Speaker 1: I bet, Oh my god, if I said I would
Speaker 1: get it would be your own person. It would be
Speaker 1: oh my, good girl with a torn acl, with such
Speaker 1: a character in high school, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I remember I went to high school with this girl Sam,
Speaker 1: and it felt like she was on crutches for two years.
Speaker 2: Of course it was so debilitating. It's not to say
Speaker 2: that she didn't need the crutches. It's just it fucks
Speaker 2: you up. It's so funny that this person in my
Speaker 2: life has probably gone on to has probably has definitely
Speaker 2: gone on to live like a full life. Who knows
Speaker 2: where she is now, to be down a career, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
Speaker 1: But she will always be that girl in crutches on
Speaker 1: high school to me, and understand that if you are
Speaker 1: in high school when you're listening to this and you're
Speaker 1: on crutches, look around, sweetie. To everyone, the rest of
Speaker 1: their life, you will be the girl who was on
Speaker 1: crutches in high school. Period.

Speaker 2: in or oh my god. If you're in high school
