He's very big. 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.119 He's a he's maybe seven feet tall. He's a giant. 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.480 Can we change the subject? He's a big show.

It's 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:50.480 Sofia Ben Hi. How are you good? How are you guys? 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.880 We're good. You have brought us a movie that we're 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.320 gonna be talking about. I almost called it The Princess Bride. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.440 That's not it at all. What is it? Runaway Bride? 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.880 Runaway Bride? Tell us about why you picked this, what 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.840 it means to you, your history with this movie. So 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.639 I started talking to Jamie about movies that I loved, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.080 and all of my movies are like very romantic comedies 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.799 from the nineties. That's the theme of that list, occasionally 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.840 seeping into like early two thousand's rom coms, Loder aimed 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:27.280 at teens. Uh So, after looking at that list, I 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.560 talked with Jamie and I thought this movie is probably 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.200 one of the earliest movies I ever saw that was 0:02:33.440 --> 0:03:00.680 made for adults. I'm going to apologie as an advance 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.000 then and say that I'm sorry for how much I 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:10.720 hate this movie. Fine, I'm not mad. Yes, just wait. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.880 I love a good shouting match, though, um, I don't 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.919 think it will get to that, but who knows. It's 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.639 the Bechtel Cast. Anything can happen. Do you think we'll 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.799 ever get into a fight, not like a yelling, like 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.679 a fistfight. I just imagine I want to get a fight. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.280 You're going to flip a table a favorite wrestler, so 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.839 I would not fight you. It's true. I want to enlist. Yeah. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.960 Big Show is about to retire. Oh god, we're talking 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.960 about this again. Oh my god. Okay, fine, let's talk 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.480 about Oh can I actually I wanted to clear see 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.880 if we're clear to discuss a topic that I would 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.240 love to talk about. But I don't know if everyone's 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.040 down Richard Gear's butt dribble. I'm so damn I'm here. Okay, 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.840 do you are you aware of the lore associated with 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.920 Richard Gear and the dribble within his ass? It sounds 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.120 vaguely familiar, but I don't really remember it's it's I 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.400 have the Snopes tab open right now. In regards to 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.840 Richard Gear and the gerbil, it's it reads. A hoary 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.800 urban legend reports a celebrity was taken to a hospital 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:16.159 emergency room to have a gerbil removed from his rectum, 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:22.040 and said celebrity was Richard Gear. Um Snope says it's false, 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.760 but I want to keep that hope alive. It wasn't 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.279 just that. Apparently there's like a sexual thing where you 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.599 put a gerb that episode of South Park of Okay, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.040 that's from the rumor of him shoving a gerbil in 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.560 a tube of his ass, which is like they have 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.680 to be able to mechanically do that. By now, like 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.560 you can you can get it to that has something 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.280 moving inside of it, by you would say, like you mean, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.960 it doesn't have to be a live animal animatronic. As 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.279 a mother of a hamster, I can endorse putting a 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.599 gerbil in your ass. Hey, let's talk about the movie. Okay. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.320 You grew up with it, you like it a lot. Yes, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.599 I'm not. I'm not like I think there's a huge 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.200 difference between your favorite movie and the best movie. Like 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.440 I definitely don't think this is a good movie, and 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.839 I would not. This is like on the edge of 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.280 what i'd make my boyfriend watch, Like if we had 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.120 just fought, or like he had done something kind of shitty, 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.680 I would definitely make him watch it, like his punishment. Yeah, Like, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.920 it's not like, it's not like Cinderella Story where that's 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.680 like if he slept with somebody in front of my 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.279 face and I was like, we're watching Cinderella Story tonight. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.080 It's my turn to pick a movie. But it's definitely 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.200 like he said something shitty about like my sister or 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.320 something like that, and I'm like, oh no, no, We're 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.960 watching a Julia Roberts movie. That's how I feel about 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.040 this film. That's good. That's good training it is he 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.880 knows how to behave don't pee on the rug, or 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.880 I'll make you watch a Julia Roberts movie. There's a 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.040 joke in the movie about being on the rug. That's 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.680 there is there is there's a joke in the movie 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.000 his ex wife has a new husband and he's laughing 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.640 on the rug and she's like, if you pee on 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.640 my right. That's the guy who's a limo driver and 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.800 the Princess Diaries. Hector Losy. He's in all Gary Marshall's movies, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.040 weird like Friends. He's also like um in Pretty Woman, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:14.080 which also are stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gear if 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.520 you're willing, all stars, which I am our stars are 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.400 also in that film together. Interesting, I well, because is 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.279 this doesn't even know? Is this the first time they 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.760 reunite since Pretty Woman? Or I think it's a sequel. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.479 It's a Pretty Woman. Really? Yeah, I okay, I haven't 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.760 seen Pretty Woman in a long time. But so much 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.360 of this movie I had fun watching it. It was 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.919 very confusing, particularly towards the end, like the sequence of 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.400 events is just baffling. As a kid, there were things 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.120 that weren't sucked up about it that are now and 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.680 like that's really really packed up. Yeah, Caitlyn, do you 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.599 want to summarize it? Sure, we'll let me start by So, Jamie, 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.560 you hadn't seen this movie before, right? I had not neither, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.440 did I? So I thought watched it recently. So the 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:09.040 story is ludicrous, It's fine, all right. Richard gear is 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:14.640 a calumnist at the USA Today and what a funny job. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.200 He's like always trying to find his next story. He's like, 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:18.600 what do I write about? And he means this guy 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.040 in the bar. The guy's like, there's this lady she 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.360 runs away from weddings. Write a story about her. He's 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.840 a great idea, I'll do it. And in this world 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:31.480 everyone reads the columns in USA Today and yeah, and uh, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.920 the columnists are famous. You can recognize him on the 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:39.720 street right there. What's your next story for USA Today? 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.800 So he writes this story about this woman who he 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.080 doesn't know, uh, and he ends up getting some facts wrong. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.520 So the woman reads it a k. Julie Roberts, and 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.880 she's like, uh, got a fact check, sir. So she 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.280 writes a letter to the editor gets them fired because 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.440 he was yeah, by his ex wife because he said 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.320 she ran away from uh seven or eight weddings, but 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.840 it was only three. So you know, this very high 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.400 stakes story that he messed up a little bit. Getting fired. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:17.080 That's a big mistake. What yours do you remember? Yeah? Okay, 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.960 so we were just coming up with Clinton presidency and 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.000 I feel like the world this was the news. You know, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.880 like things were good back then. You have to remember that, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.320 like what the standard of what's a news story is different? 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.720 That makes And also I do believe that that is 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:35.240 a story that would appears. Yeah, I don't know. I 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.920 believe that this story would be of interest. I don't 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.000 believe that Richard gear could make a living as a 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.720 USA Today a weekly columnist. That got me a little stuck. 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.160 But maybe maybe I don't know what the going rate 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.240 was in who knows, Right, it's not so much that, 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.360 um sure, it's like it's a human interest story that 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.440 might be seemed to some people. The fact that he 0:08:55.480 --> 0:09:00.360 gets fired over like getting a few facts wrong in again, 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.600 what's a very low stake story. Like if he was 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.719 like like a story about North Korea, right, if he 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.600 wrote Kim Jong Il ran away from seven or eight weddings, 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.640 when Kim Jong Il and actually only run away from 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.800 three weddings, that would be a fireball offense, right anyway, 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.160 So he decides to go to this small town in 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.160 Maryland where this woman lives to get the story straight 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:28.800 once and for all. How he goes and he meets 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.240 her and she's like, you're a bad man, and he's like, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.200 I'm just I'm here to Basically, he wants to see 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.720 her run away from another wedding because she's about to 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:44.520 get married again to Bob Christopher Maloney, Poor Bob. Bob 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.760 doesn't get the bud gets kicked around in this movie. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.679 He's a good gunser cover pretty well from it. Which 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.880 is also an insane plot point that he's still two 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:59.040 days after he's dumped. He's like, you're the wedding that 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.040 should have been his wed which is the brightest part 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:06.080 of this movie. But why would you go? First of 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.320 all that that is a testament to Bob's resilience. He 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:14.000 bounces back immediately. He's like an emotion ferous. Yeah, he's 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.320 like an emotionless coach. You know, he doesn't have time 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.360 to put his feelings on the field, even when it 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.720 comes to Julia Robbert. That's true. That's true. Really have 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.679 to think about the fact that he's willing to give 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.959 it his all. There's this weird line of dialet when 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.720 he's at the wedding. Uh, well, I'm sorry, I like 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.560 just took us to the end of the It's I mean, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.000 what happens in the middle almost nothing. They hate each 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.760 other then they start to like each other very abruptly, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.960 might I add, but this specific or like, yeah, very abruptly. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.720 But just a wedding dress though, let's put that out there. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.959 If IDUs your wedding dress, that's a pretty serious step. 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.320 That's true. I mean, daddy, I would love someone to 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.599 just bring me a wedding dress. Amen, it brought me 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.720 a wedding dress. But like, all right, well we've already, 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.680 to quote Julia Robert's character, we've already got a date 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:06.359 and venue dress. I guess we should get married the okay, 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.520 So basically I do agree with you that basically nothing 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.080 happens for about forty five minutes except like Joan Cusack 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.040 gets upset at one point, but then she's fine. Uh 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.920 So there's like a Louis not even a character, it's 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.200 just Joan Cusack is in the movie. That's pretty much. Yeah, 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.560 like just upset and she's joaning out hard. In this movie, 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.600 she's like Peggy Fleming, not the ice skater. Yeah, what 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.040 a weird joke to make such a bad joke. It's 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.920 a terrible for like a romantic comedy. There's almost no 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:42.959 trace of comedy in this movie. I found nothing funny 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.400 about it. It's funny because her dad is an alcoholic. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.520 That's funny. One funny line of the movie is when 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.120 her dad is drunk and calls the dog Porthole. I 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:58.160 think classroom joke, and I have considered getting a dog 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.080 and naming it Porthole. And no one will know what 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.600 I'm talking about. But to me, I'll be like from 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.560 run Away Brad. But then someone, someday someone will know, 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.920 and then you're going to be married by me a 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:12.760 wedding dress, right, and probably Richard Gear. Richard Gear. I 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.520 love Richard Gear so much. He's one of my faiths. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.480 I don't care what he's done with Gerbils, but he's 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.760 so annoying in this movie. He's well, his character is 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.440 like why well okay. Questions about Richard Gear in this 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.800 movie include why did people not just ask him to leave? 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.400 And why and in particular, why is he allowed to 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.520 stay with Julia Roberts family. No, he stays at a 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.480 break in. She breaks into the hotel. Also, her family 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.360 loves everybody. Her family loves him, they trust him, they 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.120 love except for the dog Porthole, who barks at his 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.880 colorful hair. Crazy. That was a fun Frank. What a 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.920 fun Frank in this funny movie. It's like in Big 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.960 Fat Liar when they make Paul Giamatti blue. You're seeing 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.640 that it is that. It is like that. That's a 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:08.360 good movie. The one joke that I do like from 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:12.480 this movie is the pun that is the hair salon name, 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.760 which is curl Up and Die, but die spelled d 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:20.120 y e like hair die. I like that. And Peggy 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.800 Fleming's husband Corey has a radio show called Wake Up 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:29.720 with flem. Yeah, that's another good that was exciting thrill. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.920 There's some small town charm in this movie. I just 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.760 I felt I felt so bad for Bob. Okay, so 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:40.280 there at is it the wedding rehearsal. Richard Gear is 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.840 allowed to be there because Julie Roberts is like, give 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.400 me money for a nice dress and I'll let you 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:51.679 tag along for the third act of this movie. And 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:56.920 then they're at Julia and Bob's rehearsal and they're like, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.199 rig your gear, you be the priest. They make him 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.680 be the groom, and then Bob is going to be 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.240 the priest so that he can watch her walk down 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.800 the aisle and not break eye contact with her because 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.920 they set up that like that's the only way she'll 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.800 marry you is if you don't break eye contact. That 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:18.559 and what a terrifying president of the It's so it's 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:23.280 like it is kind of funny how even Julia Roberts accepts, like, yeah, 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.240 if you don't make eye contact with me, I might 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.760 I might just leave. And there are times where she 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.120 and Richard gear A like, Okay, this is a bit much. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.400 Your guys are making fun of me too much, but 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.080 like she still is like, yeah, I run away from 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.360 a lot of weddings. What's interesting too, is that this 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.720 was right around the time that she had left Keefer 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.280 Sutherland at the Altar two days before their wedding in 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.040 real life. No way, Yeah, she did that during the 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.240 filming of the movie Hook, and she like ran away 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.480 from the filming and like went to London and Steven 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.000 Spielberg had to go get her because she was running 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.600 away from a wedding from Keefer Sutherland. Whoa god, I 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.480 had no idea. That really brings a whole fun element too, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.640 I had no idea. Wow, poor Kiefer know he's had 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.960 quotes about it later that was like I understand why 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:16.280 I'm like I know you cry every night, Roberts. God, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.840 oh man, but what a what a strong showing of 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.160 of of manly strength. But but okay, So, how Richard 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:29.880 Gear and Julia Roberts finally get together romantically is that 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.320 Richard Gear is standing in for Bob because Bob is 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:39.520 practicing making eye contact like a good husband. And Richard 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:44.080 Gear and Julia Roberts kiss for like forty five seconds. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.480 It's so long, it's so uncomfortable, and you don't see 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.280 it coming, and everyone in the at the rehearsals like 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:56.120 what is going on? Like Bob starts to flip out rightfully, 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.400 so he's practicing eye content and he's like doing the 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:05.000 right thing. Then you know, Bob is like we're breaking up, 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.360 you know, goodbye, And then Julie Roberts and Mr just 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.880 shrug it off, you know, don't go after Bob, and 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:17.040 we start planning. I was like, this is the meanest, 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.120 most fucked up, toxic thing I've ever seen in my life. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.280 I want to see what happens next. Well, the reason 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.960 that no one saw it coming that they're suddenly kissing 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.240 is it it's a poorly written story beat, Like there's 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.000 no build up, there's no like it's just to me. 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.240 It was just like all right, no, they're kissing now 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.440 at this rehearsal. It's very sudden. And then they're like, 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.360 all right, yeah, Bob's gone. Now I have a dress, 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.960 I have the church, I have the date blocked off 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.440 on my calendar. Why don't you and I get married? 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.880 Guy who I hated until two moments ago. Have you, guys, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.280 not ever seen any other romance and comedies? I mean 0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:00.040 this one. No. I mean I love a good roman to, 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.240 I love all of them, particularly the j LO one, 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.480 but but this one, this one, the change was so 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.200 abrupt that even in as a as a rom com lover, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.080 I was like, wait a second, this is yeah. And also, 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.040 Julia Roberts way to make it clear immediately that you 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.879 were not invested in marrying Bomb even a little, because 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.240 the second he was like I don't know, She's like, 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.120 you're right, I'm gonna marry this guy. I do think 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.680 it's kind of reasonable because there's the two hottest people 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.159 in that town, so you knew they were going to 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.119 That's true if you're the two hottest people. Even if 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.400 someone's about to get married to someone else, you're like, well, yeah, 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.439 someone hotter comes along, you're like, well, we don't know. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.800 We never got to see Bob in the suit. That's true. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.760 If maybe he could not like a Kendall, like even 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.359 down to his hole anatomy, like probably he's just this 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.000 non sexual but very fit man. He's got a sex lump. 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.600 He doesn't have a venus. I think that's true. He's 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.560 got a sex lump that it's really hot. But then 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:02.199 it's yeah, that's how I imagine Bob and his sexuality. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.560 But then if you give him a little kiss, it 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:12.240 cools downs. A little kiss um, Caitlin's triggered. Triggered. Uh no, 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.960 I just this movie is so profoundly stupid to me. 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.960 I thought it was fun and also just like another 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.280 there's just like a lot of really like bigger than 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.080 usual round calm hard lefts where at first it's like 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.479 it is funny because her dad's an alcoholic, but then 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.000 very suddenly it's like it's set because her dad's an alcoholic, 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.600 and then by the end it's like it's kind of 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.800 funny an alcoholic to be fair as somebody who has 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.200 a dad who's an alcoholic. I feel like that's really 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:43.400 the emotional journey it's like, okay, alright, well it's kind 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.520 of funny. Well that was a good joke. Thank you 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.640 for providing a punchline for my childhood and read can 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:53.800 we talk about this movie is two hours long? Is it? Yeah? 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.920 Roncom should not be longer than like an hour forty tops. 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.679 This movie is cloud in just under two hours, and 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.360 it's there is a long period where nothing really happens, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.600 but it's all it's it's that's when they do all 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.240 the round calm goofs and Pratt falls and laughs. You 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.560 really have to get all the information about that small 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.000 town in there, and like Hail Maryland. If you can't 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.680 get all of the shots of har Hail Maryland. And 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.280 there's us a line called curl up and Die, and 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.080 he's like playing with the barbershop quartet, and it needs 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:29.119 like the baker woman Betty Betty Trap. I kind of 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.320 shipped her and Bob but then and she's married. But 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.720 well there's that other there's that girl, that horny woman 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.159 who chases after Bob and it's like Bob, oh may 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.359 this is a bad time, but here's my phone, and 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.119 they're just like see look, people are already excited for you. 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.520 I'm like, dude, just got broken up with, like left 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.119 at the alder by. You if that don't shout encouraging 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.680 things that poor bob, Bob's needs so much. Therapy means 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.119 so much. Julie, do you think he and Julia Roberts 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.959 have ever had sex? No, she didn't know. He has 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:06.399 a sex lump. Theyve he springs himself upon her on 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.280 the floor of their kitchen. I think that probably like 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.640 because he has a sex in wrestling, not the same thing. 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:19.199 Oh no, no, no, we've known. We've found one of 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:24.080 Caitlin's spots. My my sex name is big Show, Big Show. 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.159 He's got beard right now. The woman who I think 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.960 it's the same character who runs after him right after 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.040 he's gotten broken up with is it her cousin who 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:39.080 introduces herself in the movie as I'm Maggie's unmarried cousin. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:44.240 That's how I introduced myself. I'm Caitlin Comma. She's making 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.040 a joke, not a good one, but a joke about 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.800 not being married because he's writing the column about getting 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.720 married a bunch of times. It's not a clear or 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:56.840 good joke, admittedly, and it sounds just stupid. But maybe 0:20:58.000 --> 0:20:59.800 maybe she just wants to put it on into the 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.040 He also was hot, so maybe they're trying to set 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.359 up that, like she's being like, I'm single. You know, Yeah, 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.240 I felt for well, I guess I didn't really feel 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.080 for Joan Ki sax role in this movie is fun 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.280 because she was. I mean, I feel like she's sort 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:18.560 of gets better roles now, but she was like the 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.920 Judy Greer of her time. She's never had a she's 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:24.040 never had a starring role in a movie, like I literally, 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:25.840 really my boyfriend. I have gone through her im v 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.520 P page looking for She's like, he's always like a 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:30.879 sport you never had to start. Like. She's huge. Everyone 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:32.760 knows who she is and she's never had a movie 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:37.600 where she's School of Rock. She's in everything. She's my dreams. 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.920 I want her to be true Detective season three. It's 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:45.240 just her. Yeah, just dude, that would be great. She 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:50.720 oh man, she's due for what does the Yes, yes, 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.600 it's going to be a Joan. I kept wanting to 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.720 say Black Snake Moone, but that's not the movie that 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:01.000 that Matthew mcconnughey was good. And when what's the one 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:06.000 where he's Alice Buyer's Club, Yeah, Dallas Fire's Club for 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:10.840 Black Snake Moon three words maybe three word titles there. 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:15.199 But but Jon's role. Joan is clearly caught in one 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.399 of those weird hometown friendships that has run its course. 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.600 But there's not anyone else to be friends with, and 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:27.120 so she's letting Julia Roberts just wave her nips at 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:33.399 Corey and and it ends up being like but and 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.920 it becomes an issue too, and I'm like, oh, is 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:40.240 this a b plot? Where? Where where is this going? Nowhere? 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.280 Joan qus just like it's interest just what you're like. 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.160 It's just what you're like. It's fine. I was like, man, John, 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.440 stand up for yourself. I do wish I'd gone further, admittedly, 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:51.040 but I think it's an interesting question of like a 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.320 lot of people have friends that are really flirtatious and 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.480 it's like very uncomfortable where you're like, I don't really 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.280 know what to do, right, And Joan is so nice 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:02.359 and she loves Julia Roberts so much, but there that's 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:05.679 like the attitude of everyone towards Julia Roberts in that 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.359 hometown of like this is just how she has what 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:14.040 she does. No one offers any advice or help from 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:18.720 a storytelling point of view, the fact that like opportunities 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.800 for tension just aren't capitalized on very much. Like she's like, 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.280 do I flirt with your husband? And she's like yeah, 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:28.840 but it's okay. Like there could be just like more 0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:32.320 conflict intention from the opportunities like this, but they don't 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:34.840
