Speaker 1: On the dol Cast. The questions asked if movies have
Speaker 1: women inum, are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands,
Speaker 1: or do they have individualism the patriarchy ze invest start
Speaker 1: changing it with the beck dol Cast interior podcast Studio afternoon.
Speaker 1: Caitlin and Jamie wait quietly as they get the go
Speaker 1: ahead from Aristotle to start, Hey, welcome to the Bechtel Cast. Hi.
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna keep going that. I was gonna
Speaker 1: start breathing heavy. Then you stopped. It's gonna started breathing heavy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of bailed on it, but don't build on
Speaker 1: the bit. Well like me saying hey, welcome to the
Speaker 1: Bechtel Cast was like Caitlin's dialogue. So then I was
Speaker 1: just reading dialogue and then you came in with your dialogue. Well,
Speaker 1: mine was an action line. More, it was like Jamie
Speaker 1: begins to breathe heavily. True. Anyway, I'm Caitlin, I'm Jamie.
Speaker 1: This is the Pectel Cast. Yeah it is. It's a
Speaker 1: podcast about the portrayal of women in movies. We're here
Speaker 1: today and we're talking about another movie. Man, We've got
Speaker 1: to like kick out the energy. We gotta turn it
Speaker 1: out to eleven right now, maybe I should have gotten
Speaker 1: my mix hard. I'm gonna I'm gonna crank it up,
Speaker 1: frank it Up. I have a song in my Spotify
Speaker 1: called crank it Up. It's a theme to my favorite wrestler.
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite wrestler? Who? Big show? Big show, big show.
Speaker 1: He's big and he's at the show. He's very big.
Speaker 1: He's a he's maybe seven feet tall. He's a giant.
Speaker 1: Can we change the subject? He's a big show. Should
Speaker 1: we introduce our guest? Yes? Cool, she's the best. She's
Speaker 1: a comedian. She's a writer for a g Q. It's
Speaker 1: Sofia Ben Hi. How are you good? How are you guys?
Speaker 1: We're good. You have brought us a movie that we're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about. I almost called it The Princess Bride.
Speaker 1: That's not it at all. What is it? Runaway Bride?
Speaker 1: Runaway Bride? Tell us about why you picked this, what
Speaker 1: it means to you, your history with this movie. So
Speaker 1: I started talking to Jamie about movies that I loved,
Speaker 1: and all of my movies are like very romantic comedies
Speaker 1: from the nineties. That's the theme of that list, occasionally
Speaker 1: seeping into like early two thousand's rom coms, Loder aimed
Speaker 1: at teens. Uh So, after looking at that list, I
Speaker 1: talked with Jamie and I thought this movie is probably
Speaker 1: one of the earliest movies I ever saw that was
Speaker 1: made for adults. I'm going to apologie as an advance
Speaker 1: then and say that I'm sorry for how much I
Speaker 1: hate this movie. Fine, I'm not mad. Yes, just wait.
Speaker 1: I love a good shouting match, though, um, I don't
Speaker 1: think it will get to that, but who knows. It's
Speaker 1: the Bechtel Cast. Anything can happen. Do you think we'll
Speaker 1: ever get into a fight, not like a yelling, like
Speaker 1: a fistfight. I just imagine I want to get a fight.
Speaker 1: You're going to flip a table a favorite wrestler, so
Speaker 1: I would not fight you. It's true. I want to enlist. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Big Show is about to retire. Oh god, we're talking
Speaker 1: about this again. Oh my god. Okay, fine, let's talk
Speaker 1: about Oh can I actually I wanted to clear see
Speaker 1: if we're clear to discuss a topic that I would
Speaker 1: love to talk about. But I don't know if everyone's
Speaker 1: down Richard Gear's butt dribble. I'm so damn I'm here. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you are you aware of the lore associated with
Speaker 1: Richard Gear and the dribble within his ass? It sounds
Speaker 1: vaguely familiar, but I don't really remember it's it's I
Speaker 1: have the Snopes tab open right now. In regards to
Speaker 1: Richard Gear and the gerbil, it's it reads. A hoary
Speaker 1: urban legend reports a celebrity was taken to a hospital
Speaker 1: emergency room to have a gerbil removed from his rectum,
Speaker 1: and said celebrity was Richard Gear. Um Snope says it's false,
Speaker 1: but I want to keep that hope alive. It wasn't
Speaker 1: just that. Apparently there's like a sexual thing where you
Speaker 1: put a gerb that episode of South Park of Okay,
Speaker 1: that's from the rumor of him shoving a gerbil in
Speaker 1: a tube of his ass, which is like they have
Speaker 1: to be able to mechanically do that. By now, like
Speaker 1: you can you can get it to that has something
Speaker 1: moving inside of it, by you would say, like you mean,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be a live animal animatronic. As
Speaker 1: a mother of a hamster, I can endorse putting a
Speaker 1: gerbil in your ass. Hey, let's talk about the movie. Okay.
Speaker 1: You grew up with it, you like it a lot. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not like I think there's a huge
Speaker 1: difference between your favorite movie and the best movie. Like
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think this is a good movie, and
Speaker 1: I would not. This is like on the edge of
Speaker 1: what i'd make my boyfriend watch, Like if we had
Speaker 1: just fought, or like he had done something kind of shitty,
Speaker 1: I would definitely make him watch it, like his punishment. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: it's not like, it's not like Cinderella Story where that's
Speaker 1: like if he slept with somebody in front of my
Speaker 1: face and I was like, we're watching Cinderella Story tonight.
Speaker 1: It's my turn to pick a movie. But it's definitely
Speaker 1: like he said something shitty about like my sister or
Speaker 1: something like that, and I'm like, oh no, no, We're
Speaker 1: watching a Julia Roberts movie. That's how I feel about
Speaker 1: this film. That's good. That's good training it is he
Speaker 1: knows how to behave don't pee on the rug, or
Speaker 1: I'll make you watch a Julia Roberts movie. There's a
Speaker 1: joke in the movie about being on the rug. That's
Speaker 1: there is there is there's a joke in the movie
Speaker 1: his ex wife has a new husband and he's laughing
Speaker 1: on the rug and she's like, if you pee on
Speaker 1: my right. That's the guy who's a limo driver and
Speaker 1: the Princess Diaries. Hector Losy. He's in all Gary Marshall's movies,
Speaker 1: weird like Friends. He's also like um in Pretty Woman,
Speaker 1: which also are stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gear if
Speaker 1: you're willing, all stars, which I am our stars are
Speaker 1: also in that film together. Interesting, I well, because is
Speaker 1: this doesn't even know? Is this the first time they
Speaker 1: reunite since Pretty Woman? Or I think it's a sequel.
Speaker 1: It's a Pretty Woman. Really? Yeah, I okay, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen Pretty Woman in a long time. But so much
Speaker 1: of this movie I had fun watching it. It was
Speaker 1: very confusing, particularly towards the end, like the sequence of
Speaker 1: events is just baffling. As a kid, there were things
Speaker 1: that weren't sucked up about it that are now and
Speaker 1: like that's really really packed up. Yeah, Caitlyn, do you
Speaker 1: want to summarize it? Sure, we'll let me start by So, Jamie,
Speaker 1: you hadn't seen this movie before, right? I had not neither,
Speaker 1: did I? So I thought watched it recently. So the
Speaker 1: story is ludicrous, It's fine, all right. Richard gear is
Speaker 1: a calumnist at the USA Today and what a funny job.
Speaker 1: He's like always trying to find his next story. He's like,
Speaker 1: what do I write about? And he means this guy
Speaker 1: in the bar. The guy's like, there's this lady she
Speaker 1: runs away from weddings. Write a story about her. He's
Speaker 1: a great idea, I'll do it. And in this world
Speaker 1: everyone reads the columns in USA Today and yeah, and uh,
Speaker 1: the columnists are famous. You can recognize him on the
Speaker 1: street right there. What's your next story for USA Today?
Speaker 1: So he writes this story about this woman who he
Speaker 1: doesn't know, uh, and he ends up getting some facts wrong.
Speaker 1: So the woman reads it a k. Julie Roberts, and
Speaker 1: she's like, uh, got a fact check, sir. So she
Speaker 1: writes a letter to the editor gets them fired because
Speaker 1: he was yeah, by his ex wife because he said
Speaker 1: she ran away from uh seven or eight weddings, but
Speaker 1: it was only three. So you know, this very high
Speaker 1: stakes story that he messed up a little bit. Getting fired.
Speaker 1: That's a big mistake. What yours do you remember? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: so we were just coming up with Clinton presidency and
Speaker 1: I feel like the world this was the news. You know,
Speaker 1: like things were good back then. You have to remember that,
Speaker 1: like what the standard of what's a news story is different?
Speaker 1: That makes And also I do believe that that is
Speaker 1: a story that would appears. Yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: believe that this story would be of interest. I don't
Speaker 1: believe that Richard gear could make a living as a
Speaker 1: USA Today a weekly columnist. That got me a little stuck.
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe I don't know what the going rate
Speaker 1: was in who knows, Right, it's not so much that,
Speaker 1: um sure, it's like it's a human interest story that
Speaker 1: might be seemed to some people. The fact that he
Speaker 1: gets fired over like getting a few facts wrong in again,
Speaker 1: what's a very low stake story. Like if he was
Speaker 1: like like a story about North Korea, right, if he
Speaker 1: wrote Kim Jong Il ran away from seven or eight weddings,
Speaker 1: when Kim Jong Il and actually only run away from
Speaker 1: three weddings, that would be a fireball offense, right anyway,
Speaker 1: So he decides to go to this small town in
Speaker 1: Maryland where this woman lives to get the story straight
Speaker 1: once and for all. How he goes and he meets
Speaker 1: her and she's like, you're a bad man, and he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm here to Basically, he wants to see
Speaker 1: her run away from another wedding because she's about to
Speaker 1: get married again to Bob Christopher Maloney, Poor Bob. Bob
Speaker 1: doesn't get the bud gets kicked around in this movie.
Speaker 1: He's a good gunser cover pretty well from it. Which
Speaker 1: is also an insane plot point that he's still two
Speaker 1: days after he's dumped. He's like, you're the wedding that
Speaker 1: should have been his wed which is the brightest part
Speaker 1: of this movie. But why would you go? First of
Speaker 1: all that that is a testament to Bob's resilience. He
Speaker 1: bounces back immediately. He's like an emotion ferous. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: like an emotionless coach. You know, he doesn't have time
Speaker 1: to put his feelings on the field, even when it
Speaker 1: comes to Julia Robbert. That's true. That's true. Really have
Speaker 1: to think about the fact that he's willing to give
Speaker 1: it his all. There's this weird line of dialet when
Speaker 1: he's at the wedding. Uh, well, I'm sorry, I like
Speaker 1: just took us to the end of the It's I mean,
Speaker 1: what happens in the middle almost nothing. They hate each
Speaker 1: other then they start to like each other very abruptly,
Speaker 1: might I add, but this specific or like, yeah, very abruptly.
Speaker 1: But just a wedding dress though, let's put that out there.
Speaker 1: If IDUs your wedding dress, that's a pretty serious step.
Speaker 1: That's true. I mean, daddy, I would love someone to
Speaker 1: just bring me a wedding dress. Amen, it brought me
Speaker 1: a wedding dress. But like, all right, well we've already,
Speaker 1: to quote Julia Robert's character, we've already got a date
Speaker 1: and venue dress. I guess we should get married the okay,
Speaker 1: So basically I do agree with you that basically nothing
Speaker 1: happens for about forty five minutes except like Joan Cusack
Speaker 1: gets upset at one point, but then she's fine. Uh
Speaker 1: So there's like a Louis not even a character, it's
Speaker 1: just Joan Cusack is in the movie. That's pretty much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like just upset and she's joaning out hard. In this movie,
Speaker 1: she's like Peggy Fleming, not the ice skater. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: a weird joke to make such a bad joke. It's
Speaker 1: a terrible for like a romantic comedy. There's almost no
Speaker 1: trace of comedy in this movie. I found nothing funny
Speaker 1: about it. It's funny because her dad is an alcoholic.
Speaker 1: That's funny. One funny line of the movie is when
Speaker 1: her dad is drunk and calls the dog Porthole. I
Speaker 1: think classroom joke, and I have considered getting a dog
Speaker 1: and naming it Porthole. And no one will know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. But to me, I'll be like from
Speaker 1: run Away Brad. But then someone, someday someone will know,
Speaker 1: and then you're going to be married by me a
Speaker 1: wedding dress, right, and probably Richard Gear. Richard Gear. I
Speaker 1: love Richard Gear so much. He's one of my faiths.
Speaker 1: I don't care what he's done with Gerbils, but he's
Speaker 1: so annoying in this movie. He's well, his character is
Speaker 1: like why well okay. Questions about Richard Gear in this
Speaker 1: movie include why did people not just ask him to leave?
Speaker 1: And why and in particular, why is he allowed to
Speaker 1: stay with Julia Roberts family. No, he stays at a
Speaker 1: break in. She breaks into the hotel. Also, her family
Speaker 1: loves everybody. Her family loves him, they trust him, they
Speaker 1: love except for the dog Porthole, who barks at his
Speaker 1: colorful hair. Crazy. That was a fun Frank. What a
Speaker 1: fun Frank in this funny movie. It's like in Big
Speaker 1: Fat Liar when they make Paul Giamatti blue. You're seeing
Speaker 1: that it is that. It is like that. That's a
Speaker 1: good movie. The one joke that I do like from
Speaker 1: this movie is the pun that is the hair salon name,
Speaker 1: which is curl Up and Die, but die spelled d
Speaker 1: y e like hair die. I like that. And Peggy
Speaker 1: Fleming's husband Corey has a radio show called Wake Up
Speaker 1: with flem. Yeah, that's another good that was exciting thrill.
Speaker 1: There's some small town charm in this movie. I just
Speaker 1: I felt I felt so bad for Bob. Okay, so
Speaker 1: there at is it the wedding rehearsal. Richard Gear is
Speaker 1: allowed to be there because Julie Roberts is like, give
Speaker 1: me money for a nice dress and I'll let you
Speaker 1: tag along for the third act of this movie. And
Speaker 1: then they're at Julia and Bob's rehearsal and they're like,
Speaker 1: rig your gear, you be the priest. They make him
Speaker 1: be the groom, and then Bob is going to be
Speaker 1: the priest so that he can watch her walk down
Speaker 1: the aisle and not break eye contact with her because
Speaker 1: they set up that like that's the only way she'll
Speaker 1: marry you is if you don't break eye contact. That
Speaker 1: and what a terrifying president of the It's so it's
Speaker 1: like it is kind of funny how even Julia Roberts accepts, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't make eye contact with me, I might
Speaker 1: I might just leave. And there are times where she
Speaker 1: and Richard gear A like, Okay, this is a bit much.
Speaker 1: Your guys are making fun of me too much, but
Speaker 1: like she still is like, yeah, I run away from
Speaker 1: a lot of weddings. What's interesting too, is that this
Speaker 1: was right around the time that she had left Keefer
Speaker 1: Sutherland at the Altar two days before their wedding in
Speaker 1: real life. No way, Yeah, she did that during the
Speaker 1: filming of the movie Hook, and she like ran away
Speaker 1: from the filming and like went to London and Steven
Speaker 1: Spielberg had to go get her because she was running
Speaker 1: away from a wedding from Keefer Sutherland. Whoa god, I
Speaker 1: had no idea. That really brings a whole fun element too,
Speaker 1: I had no idea. Wow, poor Kiefer know he's had
Speaker 1: quotes about it later that was like I understand why
Speaker 1: I'm like I know you cry every night, Roberts. God,
Speaker 1: oh man, but what a what a strong showing of
Speaker 1: of of manly strength. But but okay, So, how Richard
Speaker 1: Gear and Julia Roberts finally get together romantically is that
Speaker 1: Richard Gear is standing in for Bob because Bob is
Speaker 1: practicing making eye contact like a good husband. And Richard
Speaker 1: Gear and Julia Roberts kiss for like forty five seconds.
Speaker 1: It's so long, it's so uncomfortable, and you don't see
Speaker 1: it coming, and everyone in the at the rehearsals like
Speaker 1: what is going on? Like Bob starts to flip out rightfully,
Speaker 1: so he's practicing eye content and he's like doing the
Speaker 1: right thing. Then you know, Bob is like we're breaking up,
Speaker 1: you know, goodbye, And then Julie Roberts and Mr just
Speaker 1: shrug it off, you know, don't go after Bob, and
Speaker 1: we start planning. I was like, this is the meanest,
Speaker 1: most fucked up, toxic thing I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: I want to see what happens next. Well, the reason
Speaker 1: that no one saw it coming that they're suddenly kissing
Speaker 1: is it it's a poorly written story beat, Like there's
Speaker 1: no build up, there's no like it's just to me.
Speaker 1: It was just like all right, no, they're kissing now
Speaker 1: at this rehearsal. It's very sudden. And then they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, Bob's gone. Now I have a dress,
Speaker 1: I have the church, I have the date blocked off
Speaker 1: on my calendar. Why don't you and I get married?
Speaker 1: Guy who I hated until two moments ago. Have you, guys,
Speaker 1: not ever seen any other romance and comedies? I mean
Speaker 1: this one. No. I mean I love a good roman to,
Speaker 1: I love all of them, particularly the j LO one,
Speaker 1: but but this one, this one, the change was so
Speaker 1: abrupt that even in as a as a rom com lover,
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a second, this is yeah. And also,
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts way to make it clear immediately that you
Speaker 1: were not invested in marrying Bomb even a little, because
Speaker 1: the second he was like I don't know, She's like,
Speaker 1: you're right, I'm gonna marry this guy. I do think
Speaker 1: it's kind of reasonable because there's the two hottest people
Speaker 1: in that town, so you knew they were going to
Speaker 1: That's true if you're the two hottest people. Even if
Speaker 1: someone's about to get married to someone else, you're like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: someone hotter comes along, you're like, well, we don't know.
Speaker 1: We never got to see Bob in the suit. That's true.
Speaker 1: If maybe he could not like a Kendall, like even
Speaker 1: down to his hole anatomy, like probably he's just this
Speaker 1: non sexual but very fit man. He's got a sex lump.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a venus. I think that's true. He's
Speaker 1: got a sex lump that it's really hot. But then
Speaker 1: it's yeah, that's how I imagine Bob and his sexuality.
Speaker 1: But then if you give him a little kiss, it
Speaker 1: cools downs. A little kiss um, Caitlin's triggered. Triggered. Uh no,
Speaker 1: I just this movie is so profoundly stupid to me.
Speaker 1: I thought it was fun and also just like another
Speaker 1: there's just like a lot of really like bigger than
Speaker 1: usual round calm hard lefts where at first it's like
Speaker 1: it is funny because her dad's an alcoholic, but then
Speaker 1: very suddenly it's like it's set because her dad's an alcoholic,
Speaker 1: and then by the end it's like it's kind of
Speaker 1: funny an alcoholic to be fair as somebody who has
Speaker 1: a dad who's an alcoholic. I feel like that's really
Speaker 1: the emotional journey it's like, okay, alright, well it's kind
Speaker 1: of funny. Well that was a good joke. Thank you
Speaker 1: for providing a punchline for my childhood and read can
Speaker 1: we talk about this movie is two hours long? Is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Roncom should not be longer than like an hour forty tops.
Speaker 1: This movie is cloud in just under two hours, and
Speaker 1: it's there is a long period where nothing really happens,
Speaker 1: but it's all it's it's that's when they do all
Speaker 1: the round calm goofs and Pratt falls and laughs. You
Speaker 1: really have to get all the information about that small
Speaker 1: town in there, and like Hail Maryland. If you can't
Speaker 1: get all of the shots of har Hail Maryland. And
Speaker 1: there's us a line called curl up and Die, and
Speaker 1: he's like playing with the barbershop quartet, and it needs
Speaker 1: like the baker woman Betty Betty Trap. I kind of
Speaker 1: shipped her and Bob but then and she's married. But
Speaker 1: well there's that other there's that girl, that horny woman
Speaker 1: who chases after Bob and it's like Bob, oh may
Speaker 1: this is a bad time, but here's my phone, and
Speaker 1: they're just like see look, people are already excited for you.
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, just got broken up with, like left
Speaker 1: at the alder by. You if that don't shout encouraging
Speaker 1: things that poor bob, Bob's needs so much. Therapy means
Speaker 1: so much. Julie, do you think he and Julia Roberts
Speaker 1: have ever had sex? No, she didn't know. He has
Speaker 1: a sex lump. Theyve he springs himself upon her on
Speaker 1: the floor of their kitchen. I think that probably like
Speaker 1: because he has a sex in wrestling, not the same thing.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, we've known. We've found one of
Speaker 1: Caitlin's spots. My my sex name is big Show, Big Show.
Speaker 1: He's got beard right now. The woman who I think
Speaker 1: it's the same character who runs after him right after
Speaker 1: he's gotten broken up with is it her cousin who
Speaker 1: introduces herself in the movie as I'm Maggie's unmarried cousin.
Speaker 1: That's how I introduced myself. I'm Caitlin Comma. She's making
Speaker 1: a joke, not a good one, but a joke about
Speaker 1: not being married because he's writing the column about getting
Speaker 1: married a bunch of times. It's not a clear or
Speaker 1: good joke, admittedly, and it sounds just stupid. But maybe
Speaker 1: maybe she just wants to put it on into the
Speaker 1: He also was hot, so maybe they're trying to set
Speaker 1: up that, like she's being like, I'm single. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I felt for well, I guess I didn't really feel
Speaker 1: for Joan Ki sax role in this movie is fun
Speaker 1: because she was. I mean, I feel like she's sort
Speaker 1: of gets better roles now, but she was like the
Speaker 1: Judy Greer of her time. She's never had a she's
Speaker 1: never had a starring role in a movie, like I literally,
Speaker 1: really my boyfriend. I have gone through her im v
Speaker 1: P page looking for She's like, he's always like a
Speaker 1: sport you never had to start. Like. She's huge. Everyone
Speaker 1: knows who she is and she's never had a movie
Speaker 1: where she's School of Rock. She's in everything. She's my dreams.
Speaker 1: I want her to be true Detective season three. It's
Speaker 1: just her. Yeah, just dude, that would be great. She
Speaker 1: oh man, she's due for what does the Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a Joan. I kept wanting to
Speaker 1: say Black Snake Moone, but that's not the movie that
Speaker 1: that Matthew mcconnughey was good. And when what's the one
Speaker 1: where he's Alice Buyer's Club, Yeah, Dallas Fire's Club for
Speaker 1: Black Snake Moon three words maybe three word titles there.
Speaker 1: But but Jon's role. Joan is clearly caught in one
Speaker 1: of those weird hometown friendships that has run its course.
Speaker 1: But there's not anyone else to be friends with, and
Speaker 1: so she's letting Julia Roberts just wave her nips at
Speaker 1: Corey and and it ends up being like but and
Speaker 1: it becomes an issue too, and I'm like, oh, is
Speaker 1: this a b plot? Where? Where where is this going? Nowhere?
Speaker 1: Joan qus just like it's interest just what you're like.
Speaker 1: It's just what you're like. It's fine. I was like, man, John,
Speaker 1: stand up for yourself. I do wish I'd gone further, admittedly,
Speaker 1: but I think it's an interesting question of like a
Speaker 1: lot of people have friends that are really flirtatious and
Speaker 1: it's like very uncomfortable where you're like, I don't really
Speaker 1: know what to do, right, And Joan is so nice
Speaker 1: and she loves Julia Roberts so much, but there that's
Speaker 1: like the attitude of everyone towards Julia Roberts in that
Speaker 1: hometown of like this is just how she has what
Speaker 1: she does. No one offers any advice or help from
Speaker 1: a storytelling point of view, the fact that like opportunities
Speaker 1: for tension just aren't capitalized on very much. Like she's like,
Speaker 1: do I flirt with your husband? And she's like yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's okay. Like there could be just like more
Speaker 1: conflict intention from the opportunities like this, but they don't
Speaker 1: milk it, and it just that makes it for just
Speaker 1: not a very interesting story to me. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: good that Joan and Corey are secure enough in their
Speaker 1: marriage that they don't need to make a thing of it, sure,
Speaker 1: but also i'd be like Corey made cool a little
Speaker 1: bit cool on Julia. I mean I think the point
Speaker 1: of that is like that everyone in the town is
Speaker 1: in love with her because she's like the only hot person,
Speaker 1: right right, I mean like that's like the guy the
Speaker 1: desk guard let her lets her into the hotel room
Speaker 1: of Richard Gears Like she flashes us. She's like, you're
Speaker 1: commit a felony. Bacon bacon enter, that's fine. Can we
Speaker 1: talk about the eggs? I was hoping that this came out,
Speaker 1: Thank god, motif. Wait what her Viking? The eggs like
Speaker 1: every time with the guy she likes the kind of
Speaker 1: eggs that they like. She doesn't know how to be
Speaker 1: your own person. It's a metaphor, what's there? It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: I think about that all the time. Every time I'm
Speaker 1: eating eggs, I think about Julie Robertson, Like do I
Speaker 1: even like these eggs? Or just a guy? I want
Speaker 1: to like these written It's crazy that Richard gear says
Speaker 1: a word for word three separate times. Oh yeah, how's
Speaker 1: she like her eggs? Shouted at men as they're leaving
Speaker 1: a room. Oh yeah, you think here are how she
Speaker 1: like her eggs? I think I'm going to get that
Speaker 1: tattooed on my eggs like her eggs. Ram turns out
Speaker 1: she likes eggs Benedict. Yeah yeah, but she tries all
Speaker 1: kinds of eggs on her own when she's finally single.
Speaker 1: She finally learned being single when you figured any kinds
Speaker 1: of eggs I want, When you figure out what kind
Speaker 1: of eggs you like, that's when you know you fixed yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd be like you want, I like over easy. I
Speaker 1: do think they're the moral of the story. What they
Speaker 1: were going for is a good moral of like you
Speaker 1: have to learn how to be alone and who you
Speaker 1: are and not with other people. That's like a good moral.
Speaker 1: That's not the moral of most romcoms, how to cook
Speaker 1: your own eggs, because most romcoms are the opposite, where
Speaker 1: they're like this independent woman who doesn't want a man. Instead,
Speaker 1: they leaned into being like, okay, there are people that
Speaker 1: like give themselves up for sure whoever they're with. But
Speaker 1: I feel like that would have hit a little more
Speaker 1: if she had not married, or if this have been
Speaker 1: a good movie. Right, But I mean, that's not why
Speaker 1: we're here. It's just a saying like it's a good
Speaker 1: lesson poorly executed because her character is like who I
Speaker 1: can't even describe her. They're like, she's quirky, but is
Speaker 1: she not really She's still kind of just well, according
Speaker 1: to John Cusack, she's quirky, and that's different from weird, right,
Speaker 1: which is also different from what was souther adjective thrown
Speaker 1: around the net scene. I remember, you know, because Julia
Speaker 1: Robberts says like I'm weird, which, first of all, grow up,
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm weird, and then John kiss like, you're
Speaker 1: not weird, You're quirky. It's different, very darings. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: with with Joan. Joan uses another word to describe herself.
Speaker 1: It feels like she's selling herself short. Yet again, I
Speaker 1: agree that I wish Joan would have been the star
Speaker 1: of this movie. If that's what you're leading to. My god,
Speaker 1: I would love if Joan were the star of this movie.
Speaker 1: But to loop back into the thing of like her
Speaker 1: not ending up with Richard Gear, her point when she
Speaker 1: was like, here's why I couldn't marry you is because
Speaker 1: with the first three guys, they didn't know who I was.
Speaker 1: And then with this marriage, when I tried to marry
Speaker 1: you the first time, you knew who I was, and
Speaker 1: that scared me because I didn't know who I was.
Speaker 1: I have to go find myself. And then she finds
Speaker 1: something she's like, I'm ready, So it's not like entirely
Speaker 1: she sells her lamps and she knows who she is now.
Speaker 1: By the way, I love how they say in the
Speaker 1: early early in the movie that her degrees in industrial design,
Speaker 1: which I think whoever wrote this movie thinks that that
Speaker 1: means that you take industrial looking things and design them
Speaker 1: into stuff, which is not what industrial design is. But
Speaker 1: that's funny way to go, is it. Gary Marshall who
Speaker 1: wrote this, he directed it. Jose Anne mckimmon and Sarah
Speaker 1: two women. Never again? Should that happen? Can we? Okay?
Speaker 1: One thing that I really do want to talk about
Speaker 1: is Julia and Richards. I don't remember the character's names.
Speaker 1: Maggie and Ike's first wedding where she does run away.
Speaker 1: That is a very funds I did not think she
Speaker 1: was going to run away. Here's the thing. I thought
Speaker 1: that that was going to be the end of the movie.
Speaker 1: Turns out there are twenty more minutes. Anyways, she does
Speaker 1: run away, and then there's an amazing extended product placement
Speaker 1: for FedEx. It say, absolutely amazing. Down to Yeah, down
Speaker 1: to they say what the slogan for FedEx was at
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, because he's like tomorrow morning. Right. But
Speaker 1: she Julia Roberts runs away from Richard Gear after Richard
Speaker 1: Gear shouts when she starts to leave, lock the doors,
Speaker 1: which trapper stop her, keep her here against her will.
Speaker 1: That's what marriages. This ceremony can recover from what's happening
Speaker 1: right now. The ceremony can recover from the bride not
Speaker 1: wanting to get married, right like, yeah, just about face,
Speaker 1: she went the wrong way. She's going to marry me.
Speaker 1: We know each other for two whole weeks. What I
Speaker 1: do think it's crazy is at the very very end
Speaker 1: when they get married again, like for real, this time,
Speaker 1: she did it, she goes through with it, she buys
Speaker 1: another fucking dress. Oh yeah, yeah, that's true. And they're
Speaker 1: not on that kind of budget. She works at a
Speaker 1: hardware story here, he's a USA Today columns not anymore.
Speaker 1: He got fired. Here's tell that story to g Q.
Speaker 1: I guess is if g Q would want what do
Speaker 1: you think? What do you think would want that as
Speaker 1: a cover story. I think I think they would. Why not?
Speaker 1: Why not? I had it? That's like if Daniel from
Speaker 1: the Vans, you know, Damn Daniel, if he ran away
Speaker 1: from a wedding. I think we don't want to know
Speaker 1: Dan Daniels runaway wedding. They didn't have internet celebrities back then.
Speaker 1: They just had like, you know, newspaper celebrities, right. I
Speaker 1: feel like the last celebrity of the runaway brad Kind
Speaker 1: was that astronaut who are a diaper? Agreed? And I
Speaker 1: love her, actually, I love her. Talked about her with
Speaker 1: somebody the other day. She's really important. We should we
Speaker 1: should have her on the show. It's not my show,
Speaker 1: but we should have we should, we should we should
Speaker 1: bring her into the fault a little more because she
Speaker 1: I mean, if we're going to talk, we usually say
Speaker 1: women in STEM at least once every podcast because we're
Speaker 1: allies and we love women in STEM. You can get
Speaker 1: specific women in STEM rule, but also asked for not
Speaker 1: women diapers, run away bride. Really, she's she ran towards
Speaker 1: lost she was, and there were no time for bathroom
Speaker 1: breaks and her journey. I respect that. I respect the
Speaker 1: funk out of that. I don't know if I'm not
Speaker 1: familiar with this story. O, man, we'll have to talk.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a long time. I'll look it
Speaker 1: up on my own. The overview is like there were
Speaker 1: two astaurants at NASA, a woman and a man, and
Speaker 1: then he started dating somebody else and she got really
Speaker 1: mad about it. So she drove like something unreasonable, like
Speaker 1: eleven hours something, wearing a diaper to go confront him
Speaker 1: and like attack the woman. And so she was charged
Speaker 1: with like, oh, planning to murder something. I think I
Speaker 1: assumed that she was wearing a diaper in space, like
Speaker 1: space diaper. Oh no, no, no, no, no, diapering up
Speaker 1: a real, a real she was in a car and
Speaker 1: she's like, I gotta get their ACEP. No time to
Speaker 1: pull over for arrest, stop piss and ship myself for True,
Speaker 1: she might have like not eaten, you know, just like
Speaker 1: made sure she was fine. Yeah, it was premeditated. So wait,
Speaker 1: you know, she might have been a really big planner.
Speaker 1: It seems like it. I mean, you've got to be
Speaker 1: meticulous if you're an astronaut. True, maybe she had the
Speaker 1: diapers already. She's never know when you're space diapers and face. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, maybe that's her road trip thing. And it's
Speaker 1: not a bad idea for a road trip, and the
Speaker 1: failing press did not point that out waymestream media, extream media.
Speaker 1: Why isn't there a movie about her? That's the Really,
Speaker 1: that's a million dollar question. That's crazy. All right, it'll
Speaker 1: look at the life rights and then i'll make sure
Speaker 1: it passes the bike. They'll test. Yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: every line of dialogue will be passing the test. I
Speaker 1: do like that she proposes once she runs away from
Speaker 1: the wedding the first time. I kind of like that scene. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like the scene, but I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: that I hate this movie so much. I don't like
Speaker 1: the scene, but I like the woman being the one
Speaker 1: to propose. I thought they do that with Julia Roberts
Speaker 1: a lot, it seems like, because I'm also in notting Hill.
Speaker 1: She is like very much the male the character. She's
Speaker 1: very unlikable in that movie, which I love, like she's
Speaker 1: not fun and like kind and she's successful and he's
Speaker 1: kind of a bumbling idiot. So they kind of did
Speaker 1: it a little bit with this movie too, I feel
Speaker 1: like where they're like, you be a man, right and
Speaker 1: and at the time I was like, oh, what a
Speaker 1: novel and interesting thing to make our to make our
Speaker 1: friend Julia do I liked. I did like that the
Speaker 1: first time Richard Gear delivered that very clunky on aalog
Speaker 1: about like the marriage of like when marriage and you
Speaker 1: and someday love her, both of us who want to
Speaker 1: get out of it and yeah, maybe leave, but then stay.
Speaker 1: And then she has to verbade him deliver that same
Speaker 1: clunky monologue back to him, where she's like, it's like said,
Speaker 1: maybe leave and he's like, I will marry you. Like
Speaker 1: I just I like to see I like that we
Speaker 1: saw on screen a woman proposing to a man. I
Speaker 1: have a real problem with the traditional like you're you're together,
Speaker 1: you want to get married. Maybe you've talked about it,
Speaker 1: who knows, but generally, if you're in a HEATERO relationship
Speaker 1: and you're the woman, you kind of just have to
Speaker 1: wait around to be asked to and it just like
Speaker 1: takes out your agency, you know. So I like this.
Speaker 1: She's like, you know what, I want this saying I'm
Speaker 1: want to go out and ask for it and try
Speaker 1: to get it. So I like that part of it.
Speaker 1: I did also like that they didn't make it a
Speaker 1: big deal, like it wasn't likely to People kept being like,
Speaker 1: and she proposed, Yeah, like that movie weep Here with
Speaker 1: Amy Adams, Yeah she proposes, but it's like a whole
Speaker 1: thing that she's allowed to propose because she's a woman
Speaker 1: on weepy or day or something. I'm like, you can
Speaker 1: do it any day. They're like, it's opposite day. So
Speaker 1: it's um just in terms of woman character, probably the
Speaker 1: woman in this movie who has it together more than
Speaker 1: anyone is Richard Gear's ex wife. Yes, I think that
Speaker 1: that was like an ex wife character. They can very
Speaker 1: often be made to be shrewish, especially because she fired
Speaker 1: him and that could have been made to seem like
Speaker 1: a vendetta thing, but it wasn't. She was just doing
Speaker 1: her job. And they have this very I mean, very
Speaker 1: weird scene where Richard Gard pretty much kisses around the
Speaker 1: mouth in front of her new husband. I didn't love that.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, she seems to have it together,
Speaker 1: and she's like, I accept that our marriage. You know,
Speaker 1: she's not pining after him. She's his boss. She fires him,
Speaker 1: but not her feelings, and then she attends his Honestly, Okay,
Speaker 1: if I were her, I would attend the Julia Roberts
Speaker 1: Richard gear wedding because it seems like such a bad
Speaker 1: idea that like there's a little petty redding in there.
Speaker 1: Because friends though too, Like I just remember the guy's
Speaker 1: named Fisher. Fisher's her new husband. Yeah, I love him.
Speaker 1: He's great. Hector slay me, ride my limo any day.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a euphemism. Actor. Yeah, I referred to him
Speaker 1: a vagina as a stretch um, but he, like I
Speaker 1: liked their friendship. It seems like he's like a clueless
Speaker 1: idiot x in a lot of ways that had no
Speaker 1: idea why they broke up and like all that, and
Speaker 1: she was like, look, I've moved on with my life,
Speaker 1: but by the way, here's what you sucked up. And
Speaker 1: I loved that because that's like how I don't want
Speaker 1: to be as an excess, Like we can be friends,
Speaker 1: we're fine, but here's like you're a mess and I'm great.
Speaker 1: And the ex wife whose name I really don't remember,
Speaker 1: but and her new husband, Fisher, they have a great relationship.
Speaker 1: Fisher is not jealous that Richard gear Is, you know,
Speaker 1: works with her or is around. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: this couple is very stable. I wouldn't want to see
Speaker 1: a movie about them because they're so stable. They're in therapy.
Speaker 1: They literally talk about how it takes three people to
Speaker 1: make their marriage work, Me, Fisher, and our therapists, and
Speaker 1: that looks like it's working. Her name is Ellie, by
Speaker 1: the way, Ellie so, and I so, I'm I'm pro Ellie,
Speaker 1: I am pro Jones, I'm pro jo, I'm pro everyone
Speaker 1: in the movie except for your Deer. Sometimes there's a
Speaker 1: lot of really good women in the movie. I think
Speaker 1: the Grandma's adorable classic horny Grandma loved that. I wrote
Speaker 1: down some of my favorite lines from the movie, including
Speaker 1: it's funny when a grandma says, penis that's the that's
Speaker 1: the cord. I bet someone said that in a meeting
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know what, that's true. History has
Speaker 1: proven it's funny when a grandma's penis right. I like, well,
Speaker 1: they give her like the button in a bunch of
Speaker 1: different scenes, as though what she has said is a
Speaker 1: funny laugh line to go out on and it's usually not.
Speaker 1: But I mean she's wearing it on her it's fun joke.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite lines in the movie is she
Speaker 1: says innocent girls are terrified with the one eyed snake.
Speaker 1: When I was a virgin bride, I took a knitting
Speaker 1: needle to bed with me. What what is a weapon
Speaker 1: to shove up? I love it. That's a fun joke.
Speaker 1: That's one of the better jokes of this movie. I
Speaker 1: love that she calls it a one nighted snake and
Speaker 1: she was a virgin and scared and she was going
Speaker 1: to get militant. She was like, let's get right to
Speaker 1: stabbing your dick. There is nothing funnier than a scared virgin.
Speaker 1: For interpreted as when she first said it, is she
Speaker 1: gonna like try to like butter herself up with a
Speaker 1: knitting men. Know, like that's what I thought she was saying.
Speaker 1: I liked I liked torny Grandma. I mean it would
Speaker 1: be Betty White today if it were cast today, that's
Speaker 1: Betty White. Yeah. The past ten years horny Grandma characters
Speaker 1: and that that grandma and made she rest in Peace
Speaker 1: probably most likely rest in Peace. Probably made a ton
Speaker 1: of money on that and it was went, you know,
Speaker 1: travel the world and was all horny Grandma there. She's
Speaker 1: probably sent her like two grandsons to college with the
Speaker 1: money she made from run away. That would be so nice.
Speaker 1: And then they're like, you know, that would be cool
Speaker 1: if you hooked up with a guy in college and
Speaker 1: he's like, you know what, I can afford to go?
Speaker 1: Here go. My grandma said, Penis, that's amazing. I wonder
Speaker 1: when her grandson's went to college, and I wonder if
Speaker 1: I affected them. I can't wait to find out. If
Speaker 1: that were the reason I could afford college, I would
Speaker 1: tell everyone. That would be like my pre hook up
Speaker 1: story is why I'm here. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: wedding culture. First of all, the hashtag wedding this movie
Speaker 1: while it's like, yeah, you've got to find out who
Speaker 1: you are first before you can pair off with someone else.
Speaker 1: That's good, but it's still like marriages the end goal.
Speaker 1: You're not successful until you've married. It's kind of also
Speaker 1: the message it's sending. I feel like this movie like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, nine, that's that's a tricky I feel
Speaker 1: like that's like around the time where that mentality was
Speaker 1: like maybe dying but not dead yet. Well, Sex and
Speaker 1: the City hadn't happened, so people didn't know it was
Speaker 1: an option to be Samantha, you know what I mean
Speaker 1: right right, Like it wasn't cool to be a fun
Speaker 1: slot yet, which was like, thank god, we can all
Speaker 1: be fund slots. Know. I love being a fun slut
Speaker 1: because like back then the movies were like Parent Trapped
Speaker 1: and it was like let's wear beige and like be
Speaker 1: a mom, you know, like that was the roles for
Speaker 1: women were like a mom. Yeah, And and this movie
Speaker 1: doesn't deal with it in a great way for sure,
Speaker 1: But I don't know. It's weird that I feel within
Speaker 1: a few years of this movie coming out, that mentality
Speaker 1: slowly started to dissipline. And I'm sure it did have
Speaker 1: something to do with sex in the city, because like
Speaker 1: right around this time is also just a little bit
Speaker 1: before it was like You've Got Mail, and if you
Speaker 1: watch that movie, that gets a much better written romantic comedy.
Speaker 1: But the the aim of the main character is not
Speaker 1: like sex or fun. It's like dating a nice guy.
Speaker 1: And that was like all romantic comedies and nineties were
Speaker 1: like I want to date a nice guy right and now,
Speaker 1: and then right after it was like fun sluts, you know,
Speaker 1: which is great. I'm just saying that's like very part
Speaker 1: for the course for ninety eight. I feel like even so,
Speaker 1: weddings still happen, and I just want to talk about
Speaker 1: how they're a huge money making scam. Yeah you heard
Speaker 1: it here. First, guys, wedding, If you have a wedding,
Speaker 1: you're throwing away your money because like, first of all,
Speaker 1: why are there so many different events for what should
Speaker 1: just be one of it. Because you've got like your
Speaker 1: bridal shower, you got your bachelor or your bachelor party,
Speaker 1: You've got your rehearsal and your rehearsal dinner, and then
Speaker 1: you've got the wedding itself, and then you've got the reception,
Speaker 1: and then you're supposed to go on a honeymoon, and
Speaker 1: sure you're like celebrating this great thing that's happening in
Speaker 1: your life, but it's just it comes with so like
Speaker 1: you gotta document it with a videographer and a photographer
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be flowers, and you gotta buy addressed
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars, and you have to book out a
Speaker 1: venue that's thousands of dollars, and you gotta stationary in
Speaker 1: the get hard to believe that all of that would
Speaker 1: make me happier than a two target gift guard. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: like absolutely, there's no way that I that somebody would
Speaker 1: offer me either that or like even a fifty other
Speaker 1: target gift CD to be like that sounds really thrilling.
Speaker 1: That would be the better choice. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: I really do enjoy weddings. I don't know. I like going.
Speaker 1: I love that when other people have them. But then
Speaker 1: I think about, like, oh, you don't have dollars for
Speaker 1: a party, Like who, what life do you live? You'd
Speaker 1: have to live a very different life in my world
Speaker 1: to pay for the Also, the idea of a wedding
Speaker 1: ring alone, just like paying for a rock, that's so
Speaker 1: much money. I'm like, do you know you can buy
Speaker 1: a car, get a factional thing. Let's get back tasts
Speaker 1: back tattoo for less. Yeah, it's exactly. Let's get screams
Speaker 1: that match. I could get like, we'll get your matching
Speaker 1: worm tattoos someday. No, you could literally just get like
Speaker 1: the whole script of Shrek tattooed on the back of
Speaker 1: your body. Yeah, that would be a fun couple activity.
Speaker 1: I love Shrek. There, I love Shrek. Why didn't we
Speaker 1: do Shrek? I would have loved to do that. It's
Speaker 1: crazy that we haven't done a Shrek episode yet. I
Speaker 1: think both of you guys so much, and just keep
Speaker 1: watching Shrek over and over. Um. The I like weddings.
Speaker 1: I don't like getting too involved in weddings because when
Speaker 1: it comes to the point where I was a maid
Speaker 1: of honor last year and I had to fly across
Speaker 1: the country like three separate times to do like I
Speaker 1: think bacherette and then wedding, and then I missed something
Speaker 1: or other and everyone was mad. Yeah, I didn't love
Speaker 1: you're putting Not only are you putting a financial burden
Speaker 1: on yourself, you're often inflicting it on a bunch of
Speaker 1: other people. Oh yeah, I mean and and usually the
Speaker 1: people closest to you that you love. Yeah, You're like,
Speaker 1: let me funk these people. Are you gonna buy this
Speaker 1: this dress? And I have to get you a juicer.
Speaker 1: I would absolutely make my worst enemy my made of honor, Like,
Speaker 1: there's no bigger funk you than you need to take
Speaker 1: care of this party that I'm planning. I am excited, Okay,
Speaker 1: I do want to have oh like I'm wedding someday
Speaker 1: and I have all these fun pranks planned we can do.
Speaker 1: I want to put like a wild card in my
Speaker 1: bridal party, like someone that like I'm not particularly close to,
Speaker 1: but like just really just guilts are into being in
Speaker 1: my bridle party and being very close with everyone else
Speaker 1: and everyone being like, who's this person? Um? And I
Speaker 1: also have this plan for my whole life, uh where,
Speaker 1: And it starts at my wedding because I forgot to
Speaker 1: do it at my college graduation. Uh where. In every
Speaker 1: major event in my life, I want there to be
Speaker 1: someone dressed in a in a Scooby costume, like a
Speaker 1: mascot costume, but being like the background of the picture,
Speaker 1: you know. And then at the birth of my child
Speaker 1: will be in the background of the picture. Uh, we'll
Speaker 1: have well, I'll have to have a guy. I can
Speaker 1: have a guy for higher I gotta I wanted to
Speaker 1: have a ring bear and have the person dress up
Speaker 1: in a full bear a man like a little child costume. No,
Speaker 1: it can't be cute, and it has to be alarming.
Speaker 1: Want my wedding to be very alarming. I want everyone
Speaker 1: to feel like they had a bad dream. I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask people that aren't my parents to walk me
Speaker 1: down the aisle, but like, not even close to me.
Speaker 1: They're just like, don't even get me started on all
Speaker 1: the implications of that. Like I want to get stunt
Speaker 1: doubles for my parents to do flips like the whole
Speaker 1: like father giving away his daughter, It's like, well, are
Speaker 1: my daughter's property property? No, I bestow this property onto
Speaker 1: this other man who And oh, yeah, you got to
Speaker 1: change your name now because my dad and the man
Speaker 1: I married to do like a Brittany Madonna style kiss
Speaker 1: and pass my spirit my dad like now you're the
Speaker 1: princess of pop. I really want my dad to end
Speaker 1: up like Richard gear in this film and to end
Speaker 1: up kissing the groom and and then not me and
Speaker 1: that's how we find out my dad's I want to
Speaker 1: get cooked in my own wedding and lunch my dad
Speaker 1: and my beloved make it and maybe go further in
Speaker 1: my wedding at least, and I'm fine if they go further.
Speaker 1: A little tweaking, Yeah, a little yeah, do what you
Speaker 1: feel is I would enjoy a wedding if that happened,
Speaker 1: but I don't, like I want to be cillar. I
Speaker 1: understand like wanting to throw a celebration for this important
Speaker 1: day in your life. But even if you don't do it,
Speaker 1: guess what, you still can be married if you fill
Speaker 1: out all the paperwork anyway, or if you just hang
Speaker 1: out for seven years. Yeah that you just live together
Speaker 1: for a while and then you'll be married. But um,
Speaker 1: I understand like wanting to like throw a party, but
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be as extravagant as what we're doing
Speaker 1: and what we have been doing for decades. No, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. No, it is financially irresponsible for most people.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Yeah. I just have a joke about, like,
Speaker 1: would you have the same wedding if you had to
Speaker 1: invite a kid that was like starving to your wedding
Speaker 1: and like probably you'd be like, oh, thirty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: is not a good thing to spend on a party
Speaker 1: with the world like exactly, like the world is so bad,
Speaker 1: could save eighteen families, right, yeah. I you love listening
Speaker 1: to people talking about the specifics of their wedding though,
Speaker 1: because it's always so serious. But if you're even one
Speaker 1: step removed from it, you're like, this is the dumbest
Speaker 1: remember in my life, Like my my my cousin got married,
Speaker 1: and that she would I would hear her on the friends.
Speaker 1: You'd call me crying because like she wasn't rustic enough.
Speaker 1: She'd be like, I, really, my mom didn't want to
Speaker 1: pay for the tables that because I want the tables
Speaker 1: to be barrels, because barrels are rustic, and I don't
Speaker 1: understand why we can't afford enough barrels and didn't It's
Speaker 1: just like any this problem is big. This is a
Speaker 1: big problem. My own gotta get those barrels. My really
Speaker 1: only requirement is I'm going to walk down the aisle
Speaker 1: to It's only Africa by Toto. That's like absolutely, because
Speaker 1: you're gonna get so amped from that that like it
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter who I'm marrying, but I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: be like I'm in by the time you walked on
Speaker 1: the aisle to Africa, you'll marry literally any literally is it?
Speaker 1: Bob Costas? Who is it? I don't care? Put them
Speaker 1: up turn around. That's how I feel about wantings. Sorry,

Speaker 1: always on the lookout for a future x Mrs Malcolm

Speaker 1: divorced and he's just realistic with his expectations. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like that song I'm only going to break, break, break, break,
Speaker 1: break your heart. I it wrong. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: songs where rappers are like warning women that they're going
Speaker 1: to break their hearts. And I love that because it's like,

Speaker 1: seen it all the way through twice. It's it's amazing,
Speaker 1: good everything, catastrophe and good rom com No, I do
Speaker 1: like I've only seen the first season, but I do
Speaker 1: like that show. Excellent or Amazon Original Day The Vision
Speaker 1: is the best show on television if you like. People
Speaker 1: talk about it. I don't know. It's so woman and
Speaker 1: it's very self aware. I love it. Gina Rodriga shines
Speaker 1: every week. Every week. Team Michael, Yeah, whoa whoa controversy. Um,
Speaker 1: are there any other thoughts that people have on the
Speaker 1: movie Away Bride, I will say that there are a
Speaker 1: lot of good speaking roles for women for different kinds
Speaker 1: of characters that are like not the same role or
Speaker 1: not just putting them in the same like Shuill woman
Speaker 1: best friend, like it was a little weird different. They
Speaker 1: are all white. It is a very white movie, as
Speaker 1: many movies are. There is a I think a reporter
Speaker 1: who is like at the finn the wedding that they
Speaker 1: attempt and then she runs away from with Richard gear Um.
Speaker 1: There's a woman of color who's a reporter who's asking questions.
Speaker 1: But other than that, and everyone's pretty white. The older
Speaker 1: women we see as horney grandma. Oh yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: we do see some represent older women. So that's honey grandma.
Speaker 1: Uh check um. It does pass the Bechdel test for sure,
Speaker 1: so that's good it doesn't. There's a scene where it
Speaker 1: passes pretty early on whenever Joan Kuzak and the other
Speaker 1: lady friend whose name I forget, the cousin unmarried cousin, No,
Speaker 1: not Betty Trout either. There's a with like a poof
Speaker 1: hair thing. She's an older woman too. Yeah, she says
Speaker 1: I'm going to focus on your eggs, Bob. While she's
Speaker 1: working at the dinero, they come in and ask Maggie
Speaker 1: if she's seen the call um that Richard Year has
Speaker 1: printed in the Say today, And she's like, yeah, what
Speaker 1: a funny joke, you guys. And she's like, you told
Speaker 1: us not to do any bachelorette jokes because is that
Speaker 1: a thing? He? I guess so so, So there's that
Speaker 1: conversation happens again in the hair salon again Carl up
Speaker 1: and die, which is what I wanted to do when
Speaker 1: I watched this movie. They are talking about a chair
Speaker 1: for a while, we're talking about a dog. They talked
Speaker 1: about kinds of stuff. It's not a man. They're fun friends.
Speaker 1: As you were saying that, I was thinking about how
Speaker 1: I don't think Shrek passes the Betel test and out
Speaker 1: freaking it doesn't. It doesn't, It doesn't. It doesn't. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because there's Fiona and there's Arthur other there's no other
Speaker 1: speaking part for women other than give him the chair.
Speaker 1: When the woman yells that when he's beating someone up
Speaker 1: that yeah, Shrek man, it's problematic. It's problem that it
Speaker 1: came out before Night eleven. It did it come out
Speaker 1: like two months before one? Can I tell you my
Speaker 1: favorite fact about a movie ever? And I was also
Speaker 1: about to say one of my favorite movies does not
Speaker 1: pass the Bectel test. Master of Disguise. Fun fact about
Speaker 1: the Master of Disguise. You know that scene, that famous
Speaker 1: scene from the Master of the Skies, the turtle turtle scene.
Speaker 1: I have not seen that movie. Everyone's seen this scene.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the turtle? Are you kidding me? Aristotle?
Speaker 1: Aristotle seen it? Shout out to Aristotle's Danta Carveys only
Speaker 1: movie that he's the star of. It's the last movie
Speaker 1: he's the star of. It's not a great movie. But
Speaker 1: um I wrote a bunch of essays about it a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And I listened to the commentary
Speaker 1: track and this iconic, very bad scene and this very
Speaker 1: bad movie was filmed on September eleven. Wow, they kept
Speaker 1: going after that. They said that in the commentary track,
Speaker 1: they were just like because it was Dana Kurfey and
Speaker 1: the director and they were just like, oh, Like when
Speaker 1: the turtle scenes started, they're like, oh, I was like,
Speaker 1: why this is a great scene and they're like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: This was on September eleven, two thousand one, and uh
Speaker 1: we had to stop filming for a couple of minutes
Speaker 1: and uh just have a moment of silence, but you
Speaker 1: know we had to finish. The scene. Was like, man,
Speaker 1: Shell must go on. The show truly did go on. Oh,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say a few of my other
Speaker 1: favorite lines of dialogue the movie. One of them is
Speaker 1: when Richard Gear shows up to the baseball game that
Speaker 1: people playing in. Maggie goes there. He is again snoop
Speaker 1: doggie dog. Yeah, that is a good that's a good quote.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means. I'm still thinking about it.
Speaker 1: He's like snooping around her. But that's like not a
Speaker 1: response to snooping. That's that's stuck with me. To another
Speaker 1: The Titanic makes a Snoop Dogg reference to they name
Speaker 1: one of their deep sea cameras after Oh, I was like,
Speaker 1: what how does Jack and Rose know about Snoop dog
Speaker 1: came from the past. There's a passenger from the future.
Speaker 1: What an actually watch The Titanic if Snoop Dogg had
Speaker 1: been on it, I will not watch that film. Like
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg has been a prevalent cultural force for decades.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. My other favorite line is when
Speaker 1: Maggie goes, you wouldn't know real love if it jumped
Speaker 1: up and bit you in the armpit. Armpit learned. They
Speaker 1: were like instead of asks, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: You can't say dick? How about armpit? We cans I dick?
Speaker 1: How about one eyed snake? There's I liked that. That
Speaker 1: would seems like one of those things of like, let's
Speaker 1: just change the dialogue so TBS doesn't need to change
Speaker 1: it later. God love TBS. I love TBS movie edits
Speaker 1: They're so good it should be everybody to look And
Speaker 1: I came here at a party. Are we ready to
Speaker 1: to rate? Let's do it all right? Um? So we
Speaker 1: rate on a five nipple scale of how you feel
Speaker 1: the movie treats it's women characters, and uh we we
Speaker 1: usually describe the nipples. Do you want to go first? Sure?
Speaker 1: I would give it. I'm gonna say I could give
Speaker 1: it two and a half nipples. Again, I'm gonna give it.
Speaker 1: Uh both of John cusacks nipples and a half. I
Speaker 1: had horny Grandma nipple. Nice yeah, i'd say I want
Speaker 1: to give it like two nipples. Um. It does bother
Speaker 1: me that, like such a huge emphasis is placed on
Speaker 1: marriage and pair bonding, and that's like what you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be doing if you're a young woman and you
Speaker 1: gotta find men boom with Um, something's happened that I
Speaker 1: don't mind. I think you're okay. Um. Largely, I just
Speaker 1: think this is such a sloppily poorly written movie that
Speaker 1: I can't I don't like any of the characters. So
Speaker 1: with that said, two nipples they belong to the drunk dad,
Speaker 1: oh sad leaky alcoholics. Nipples to alcoholics. Heavens that leak
Speaker 1: like the leak booze out of them, and they can
Speaker 1: suckle on them if they run if they're Ye. I
Speaker 1: don't mean to be making light of alcoholism. I know
Speaker 1: it's a serious problem in disease. How about you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with I would go with three. The only
Speaker 1: thing that I really have an issue with is that,
Speaker 1: like you said, everyone is white, so that that might
Speaker 1: being that might be a two and a half, but
Speaker 1: I was gonna go three nipples. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: speaking roles for women. There's a lot of friendship for women.
Speaker 1: There's um more than most movies. They let women actually talk,
Speaker 1: even if they are annoying women. Um, which women are annoying?
Speaker 1: That's real, Um, not all. I'm just saying there's some
Speaker 1: women who annoying. I women are annoying. Women are sluts
Speaker 1: all across the ballard. Look, I think I'm an annoying
Speaker 1: sled if someone called me that accurate, like, yes, you
Speaker 1: know me, you get me when Yeah? No, but I
Speaker 1: think there was some accurate portrayals of parts of womanhood
Speaker 1: in that movie. Um, so I'm going to give it
Speaker 1: three and all three nipples are coming from Porthold the dog.
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, oh yeah, he's got a plenty of Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got up to six. Yeah. Oh well, row Away Bride.
Speaker 1: Uh Kaylin hated it, Sophia, and I liked it. Uh
Speaker 1: ultimately a weird movie that people probably don't watch that much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you could. You should if you wanna, you know,
Speaker 1: waste to two hours. Okay, relax anyway, Sophia, thanks for
