35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: our love and romantic feelings towards movies. So it's very

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: simpatico with the theme of today's show. But we have

37
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: a great show today. Millie, I'm so thrilled to be

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: talking about romantic movies. But first we must get into

39
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: our film diary. We have to open up our diaries

40
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: and read aloud our innermost thoughts, basically just pertaining to

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: the movies we watched. But what movies have you seen

42
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: in the past week or so?

43
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm unlocking my diary with the tiniest little key.

44
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: Yep. And the key is on a necklace around your neck.

45
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

46
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: And the key is so flimsy that it sometimes bends

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: in the lock and then you're just like you have

48
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: to pop it open with like a pen or something.

49
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: All right, it's open now, Okay. So this week I

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: rewatched Slow or the One hundred and Twenty Days of

51
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Sodom by Pierre Paulo Pasolini. Very not for the faint

52
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: of heart, very notorious film. As you know.

53
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: I would say it's in the top five most notorious

54
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 2: films of all time, wouldn't you say. I would argue

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: out there, I.

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Would argue it's number one.

57
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: It could be number one. That's not a crazy thing

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: to say.

59
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: That's not crazy. Let me tell you right now. I

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: have not seen Solo since the late nineties. I mean

61
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: I watched it pretty much when I was in film

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: school because it was again, it was like this, it

63
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: feels like it feels like an achievement or something. When

64
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: you've watched it for the first time, you're like, oh,

65
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: I went I went through some shit. Literally, okay, I

66
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: watched well here did that come out? Let us say

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: it's like seventy oh yeah, seventy five, seventy five, Okay,

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: but I saw it again. And the reason why I

69
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: saw it again is because it was playing at my

70
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: local movie theater. You know, I think we all know why,

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: because we have a new president in office and there

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: was a series that has been going on there called like,

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, Cinema of Resistance or Resistance Cinema or something,

74
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: which is brilliant, brilliant programming by the Plaza Theater by

75
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: the way. But yeah, so I saw it in the

76
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: movie theater. I'm thirty five, and I mean it is

77
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: such a film like it it is. There are moments

78
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: of disgusting this I mean, obviously the whole thing is

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: is basically, you know, an allegory for fascism, right yeah,

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: And it's very intense, a lot of nudity, a lot

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: of you know, body fluid stuff. Obviously really crazy. However,

82
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: as an artistic statement, I gotta say it is fucking insane,

83
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Like it is such such a big swing and I

84
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: think that's why it's number one, because it's just it

85
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: is literally like one of the hardest but most interesting

86
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: films I've ever seen in my life.

87
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: For those who haven't seen it, it is about it's

88
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: set in World War two and it's a group of fascists.

89
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: It's kind of like during wartime when people are like

90
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: kind of getting away with just doing horrible stuff. And

91
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: it's set it's a group of fascists round up nine

92
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 2: adolescent boys and girls and subject them to one hundred

93
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: and twenty days of physical, mental, and sexual torture. And

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: these group of fascists are kind of like, oh, won't

95
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: it be interesting to do these little experiments and do

96
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: these little games. It's all kind of like fun and

97
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: or it's just they're doing it at their own sort

98
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: of fancy because they want to and they can, you know, and.

99
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: Right, the representative is this sort of like bourgeoisie, these

100
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: like you know, leaders in power who are like walking

101
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: around in their opulent outfits and then like torturing young

102
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: people sexually and physically and emotionally. So it's really but

103
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, again, like as a person who has written

104
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: and studied and been a part of like cult movies

105
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: for you know, twenty years, you know, there are like

106
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: films that you're kind of like, oh, this is a

107
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: big one. This is like one of the big you know,

108
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: this movie is a challenge and is unpleasant, and you know,

109
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: but but I have to say, like, I'm glad I

110
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: saw it again. I'm so glad I saw it now

111
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: that I'm as old as I am, versus what I

112
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: saw it when I was in college and I was,

113
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: as you call, in your shithead phase where you're just

114
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: watching provocative things just to watch them. And now I'm like, oh,

115
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: I can watch this as an adult and process at

116
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: at you know, a higher level, if you will. So

117
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: I don't know it was. I still think it's It's

118
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting movies I've ever seen in

119
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: my entire life.

120
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: So there's that. I would say, Cello, is you know,

121
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: if this was a ski mountain grade, it would be

122
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: a black diamond in terms of difficulty to like in

123
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: your film journey. It's a tough one. It ain't the

124
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: Bunny slopes, So I would you know, if you don't

125
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: know what it is and you don't know what you

126
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: you might want to do some research on it before

127
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: you watch that one. But it is. I it's a

128
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: it's amazing, it exists, and it is wild.

129
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: Yes, it is wild. Speaking of wild, and maybe wild

130
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: in a slightly different way, maybe not. I also watched

131
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: for the very first time this movie called Two Moon Junction,

132
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: which is this movie from nineteen eighty eight, and it

133
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: was directed by another sort of notorious director, Zalman King.

134
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: If you don't know Zalmon King, he was kind of

135
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: a director and peddler of sort of what they would

136
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: call like softcore porn in the eighties and nineties. He

137
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: would responsible for the Red Shoe Diaries. Ah, yes, you know,

138
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: he did a couple of great like there was a

139
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: couple of films that he did early on that I

140
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: had actually programmed on TC Underground, like some call it

141
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: Loving and Blue Sunshine and whatnot. But he is mostly

142
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: known for kind of like that Wild Orchid slash, Red

143
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Shoe Diaries, softcore porn stuff. Now Two Moon Junction, this

144
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: was something that I watched with my I have a

145
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: group of friends who I started a club with actually

146
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: many many many many years ago before I moved to

147
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: La actually, and it was called and I gotta tell you,

148
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: we were ground floor about this. We decided to create

149
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: a film club called Consenting Adults, and it was all about,

150
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, our movie club was going to watch erotic thrillers.

151
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: And know we were, like I said, ground floor on

152
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: the resurgence of erotic thrillers. I mean, it was like

153
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: a decade before Baby Girl. Okay, so you know, but

154
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: we were kind of interested in rewatching a lot of

155
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: these sort of erotic thriller classics, and we've seen them

156
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: all at this point, it's been going for years and years, right,

157
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: So Two Moon Junction literally just came up and we

158
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: decided to watch it. And I gotta tell you, it

159
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: is fucking fantastic. Yeo.

160
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: I mean the cover looks great. There Shehriylyn Fenn is

161
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: in the throes of passion with who's that actor? The

162
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: actor is name Richard Tyson.

163
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: Yes, who played the bad guy from Kindergarten Cop if

164
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: you'll remember. Yes, Yes, he is wild in this. So

165
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: this movie is so insane and Sherylyn Fenn, I gotta

166
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: tell you, Like, I know.

167
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: That twin peaks fame.

168
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: Of course, she was known for being in kind of

169
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: risque and slightly controversial films in her career, and this

170
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: was definitely one of them. I know that she has

171
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: talked about being in this movie, uh subsequently, and you know,

172
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if she had like such a positive experience.

173
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you're gonna have to go

174
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: and do your research about that. But basically, like in

175
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: this film, it's kind of this like crazy southern gothic

176
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: erotic thriller where she plays like this woman who's about

177
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: to be married to this like fucking southern college football

178
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: nightmare guy. And then she meets the Richard Tyson character

179
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: at the carnival and he's this like total like Brando,

180
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: wanna be like fucking Tennessee Williams guy. He doesn't wear

181
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: a shirt ever, He's never wearing a shirt, and they

182
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: end up having this like affair, and I mean, there's

183
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: so many wonderful details in this movie. It's so good

184
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: and funny and weird and corny and amazing. So anyway,

185
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, if you're into this kind of weird

186
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: world of like the kind of shitty skin type of stuff,

187
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: this is really this is for you. This is the

188
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: fil a baby you are gonna eat.

189
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: Well, so it's it for me, wonderful, wonderful. Well, let

Speaker 1: Uh uh duh, are you kidding me? Like she's amazing

222
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: in that she makes the cigarette paper that burns faster.

223
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: Our cigarette smoking queen. You know, I was thinking about this, Millie.

224
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 2: We should do a whole cigarette episode.

225
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Oh I would love that, as you know, I would.

226
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: Love and maybe we can smoke cigarettes while we the episode.

227
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: We'll be like, you know, French new wave directors while

228
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: we're like puffing away at the end of this episode. Yeah. No,

229
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: she's fantastic my movie. I just like love her whole vibe,

230
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: like her like she just hates everybody in her high school.

231
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean that was me. I mean I won't say

232
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: she's exactly me, uh because I wasn't that antagonistic. She

233
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: like fucking hates it and eviscerates everyone. In their high school.

234
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: Uh I was. I still wanted to be liked by

235
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: all the people that I hated, but it was pretty

236
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: much like I hate you all, you know?

237
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I just I've never been to a

238
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: high school reunion, and I don't think I ever will.

239
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: I kind of I wish I had one like Rome

240
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: and Michelle, but I don't think. I don't think my

241
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: school organ I don't think those happen anymore because Facebook

242
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: destroyed the high school reunion.

243
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh I could never. Sorry, I could never.

244
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: I've been invited, I think like twice, and I'm just

245
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: like nope, Like, do not have enough positive memories about

246
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: that experience? Unfortunately I really don't. And the people that

247
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: I liked for my high school I more or less

248
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: still talk to, which is like literally like a tiny

249
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: handful of people. So why do I need to go

250
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: to a reunion? Who gives a shit?

251
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: That's true? Very true? Sorry, that is my film diary.

252
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Alrighty, well that was fun. Yeah, pretty ready to talk

253
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: about love.

256
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: Of course I do? Are you kidding? I I've got

257
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: a record so much about this On my previous podcast,

258
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: I saw what you did, which is that I I

259
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: fronted for so many years, maybe decades, in fact of

260
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: being a type of person that was not interested in

261
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: like romance and you know, kind of like lovey Dovey's stuff.

262
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: I was like, come on, I was watching Salo and

263
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Kennibal Holocaust and things of that nature. I was like,

264
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: too based for love, right, Yeah, but you want to

265
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: watch Harmony Kareem's trash humpers.

266
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: You don't want to watch something about love.

267
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, oh, God, like whatever, like uh, when

268
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: Harry met Sally. But now I'm here to admit, and

269
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: I've admitted most recently in the past several years that

270
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I actually secretly loved romance and I snuck movies like

271
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: when Harry met Sally. So I was like, yeah, my

272
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: friends were watching fucking Wake and fright, yeah, fucking yeah.

273
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: And then I'm like secretly at home rewatching Untamed Heart

274
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: for the eighth time. I was like obsessed with love

275
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: and wanting boyfriends and having crushes on people, and you know,

276
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: I like would like really watch a lot of romantic stuff,

277
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: especially the stuff that would come on TV, like you know,

278
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: reruns of you know, rom coms and stuff that they

279
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: play constantly. I just was in front of that stuff

280
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: all the time, and I'm like, oh god, thirteen going

281
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: on thirty, I gotta watch it again. I've still loved

282
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: this movie. Yeah, but no one will know about it

283
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: because I'm too cool.

284
00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. So anyway, the smoking SIGs with dark eyeshadow.

285
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I was like, I put I'd rather put

286
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: this out in my eye, is what I was telling you.

287
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: But inside I was, you know.

288
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: Feeling all sorts of feelings. Of course, I guess what

289
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 2: I guess. A question at the foundation of all of

290
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: this is what do you think makes a movie romantic?

291
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: Because you'll watch you know, you watch these Hallmark and

292
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: this is no slight to Hallmark movies, but they don't

293
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: necessarily make my heart feel that romantic pull that some

294
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: really excellent films. Do you know what is it that

295
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: makes you know, makes you yearn makes you feel romantic,

296
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: makes makes you want to experience love? What is it

297
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: in a movie? I know this is kind of a

298
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: big question, but what is it that makes a romantic movie?

299
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: For me?

300
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: This is right off the dome. If you asked me

301
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: about this in like a week, I probably have a

302
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: more opinionated answer. I think there's two things for me

303
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: that really get me. Number one is longing, so wanting

304
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: to be with someone or a character that wants to

305
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: be with someone but can't. That might come up in

306
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: my choices for this one for this episode. And the

307
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: other is the idea of like two people against the

308
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: world or two people against society, right, because, like, let's

309
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: get serious, like, you know, I'm a I'm a fucking

310
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: I am Janine Garofflo. I was like really into goth

311
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: and punk and sort of less obvious forms of romance

312
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: my entire life, right, because I think a lot of

313
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna get kind of deep and you'll have

314
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: to bear with me on this. But I think as

315
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: somebody who was not like really into dating and sort

316
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: of I wasn't like, you know, a personal experience sort

317
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: of like this really like you know, happy, sappy like

318
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: love life. When I was growing up, like I always

319
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: was like the obsessively crushed out like weirdo in the

320
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: back of the classroom. I was not like, you know,

321
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: some popular girl bouncing around like boyfriend or boyfriend, right,

322
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: So in my mind, I think, you know, I'm sitting

323
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: here being like all the stuff that I liked, which

324
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: was art and music, and you know, I was like

325
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: listening to the Smiths, dude, like sure. So that to

326
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: me when I when I watch films, those sort of

327
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: like unobvious forms of romance are the ones that get

328
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: to me. So, like, you know, a love I will

329
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: call it generically a sort of Bonnie and Clyde scenario

330
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: of like two people who are like kind of destined

331
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 1: to be together and then the world is against them

332
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: or society is against them, and they're they've got each other.

333
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: Or yeah, I mean tales about people who you know,

334
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: like maybe you mentioned this one car Wise in the

335
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: Mood for Love, two people that want to be together

336
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: but can't because there are external forces that keep them apart,

337
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: or you know, any kind of movie like that. So

338
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: those are what I think are or what make romantic

339
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: movies for me. But I don't know you have a

340
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: different answer.

341
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: Maybe No, I think you answered exactly. The movie needs

342
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: to make me feel like they really might not end

343
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: up together. I feel like there needs to be that

344
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: tension in the movie for it to feel romantic, because

345
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: if it just is like lovey dovey the whole time.

346
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 2: And it's like, you watch these rom coms and you're like, oh,

347
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: obviously they're gonna get together, but I think you have to. Like,

348
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: I think, actually that's what makes When Harry Met Sally

349
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: a good movie, because you're like, I don't like, I

350
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 2: don't remember the first time I watched it, but you know,

351
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 2: it feels like they might not end up together, you know,

352
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: and kind of hand in hand with that that longing

353
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned. I love the visualization of longing. I'm bringing

354
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: up Wang kar Wai again. Wang in the Mood for

355
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: Love is such a romantic movie because there's all these

356
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: shots of Tony Lung like smoking a cigarette and slow

357
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: motion and you're like longing, I am longing actively on screen,

358
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: you know, and it's it's just it's just pulling these

359
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: feelings out of you because you just see these people

360
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: staring at each other. They're just looking at each other.

361
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: And I love that feeling. I love that that. That's

362
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: like what makes it a romantic genre is like that

363
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: palpable longing on screen.

364
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, I have something to recommend for you

365
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: later than in our employee picks, because we'll put a

366
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: pin in that we'll talk about that later.

367
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: Put a pin.

368
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: In and yeah, no, I agree, And like it's funny

369
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: because you know, I think that again, I want I

370
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: keep going back to this idea of uh, sort of

371
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: the ways in which love had been presented to me

372
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: when I was a young person. So again, like I

373
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: think that part of like what I leaned into when

374
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: I was first sort of you know, when I was

375
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: like a little girl, right, was that I was watching

376
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: like sixteen Candles and you know, the John Hughes universe.

377
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: And again, I was like pretty young when those movies

378
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: came out, like in the mid eighties, and you know

379
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: those were all about like invariably like nerdy people or

380
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: poor people who had crushes on people who were quote

381
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: unquote out of their league, and I was just status

382
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: higher status or like you know just sort of like

383
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: different vibes. And I mean, I will I can't even

384
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: tell you like when you know, I was presented with

385
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: the whole like sixteen Candles scenario of like Jake Ryan

386
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: and you know Molly Ringwold's character where he was this

387
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: like beautiful popular guy and she was this kind of

388
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: you know, boring nerd show. I don't even think she

389
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: was a nerd. I think she was just sort of

390
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: like a quiet, quiet or just sort of like cool

391
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: into music, and that that was the literal blueprint for

392
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: everything that I would love about romance. Subsequently, is the

393
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: like popular guy from high school who like hates being

394
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: popular and wants to get with like the cool girl

395
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: that likes music and is like has a good family

396
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: and is like an you know, like that kind of thing,

397
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: like she like loves hanging out with her parents or

398
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: something like that. Like that dynamic to me, I mean

399
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: it ruined my life, Casey, it has ruined my life.

400
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: It continues to ruin my life. But that's like the

401
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: thing is I think that's what creates the tension of

402
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: the will they are, won't they? It's just like there's

403
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: no way these two people can be together. He is

404
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: like he dates you know Carolyn, who you know, is

405
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: like the most beautiful blonde in their high school. He

406
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: could never find you know, interesting Molly Ringwall, but odd Tzar.

407
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: I you know, I think we share a history here

408
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: because I think both. I think the shared history is

409
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: that romantic movies have ruined our lives and have made

410
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: us worse people. And because I think that I was

411
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: like not a dater. I mean, I you know, I

412
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: kind of dated here and there, but I never had

413
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: a long term girlfriend in well into my twenties. And

414
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: I feel like how I thought romance was supposed to

415
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: go is very much based on movie romance, which real

416
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: life is not like that. Sadly, yeah, it's not like that.

417
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: And if you get caught up in that narrative of

418
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: wanting your real life romance is to always feel sometimes

419
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: they do, but they don't always feel like they do

420
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: in the movies.

421
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: Well, I think when you go to therapy and you

422
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: grow up a little bit or something, you realize that

423
00:24:54,359 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: those that dynamic of being like of like the int intense,

424
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: insane longing is sort of disordered.

425
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: It's disordered, it's unsustainable, and uh it certainly you have

426
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: that at the beginning of relationship and when that fades away,

427
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean it's indicative of a bad relationship or anything.

428
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: But you can't you just can't. I think this really

429
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: got me in trouble in high school and college, where

430
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is how romance needs to feel, or

431
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: it's fake. So Milli and I have picked our three

432
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: favorite romantic movies most romantic movies, and I don't know

433

00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: go from like three to one. How about that?

438
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: If you pick one that I picked, I'm gonna be

439
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: so fucking pissed.

440
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna this fist is gonna come through the screen

441
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: and punch.

442
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 2: You right there. I'm gonna like, I'm gonna scream.

443
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't be cute. It wouldn't be cute. If

444
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: we picked things act saying three, it would be cute. Okay,

445
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: so let me go, let me go number three. So

446
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: my third most favorite romantic movie is a movie from

447
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: nineteen forty five. It was directed by a man named

448
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: David Lane. Mellie, No, did you counter?

449
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: Did you break?

450
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Breathing counters?

451
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: It's on my list, I swear to god, it's the

452
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: first one on my list, the first one.

453
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: My god. Oh, okay, this we should have checked. We

454
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: should have fucking checked. Okay, so we both have this

455
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: one on our list. This is sort of okay? Would

456
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: you say this? This movie feels a little bit like

457
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: the blueprint for in the Mood.

458
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: For Love, right in the Mood for Love and Carol.

459
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: This tell people what Brief Encounter is about. A perfect film. Oh, it's,

460
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: in my estimation, a perfect film.

461
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: So this is a film about two strangers who meet

462
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: in a train station. Okay, they're both married. They're played

463
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: by the actors Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard.

464
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: Okay, beautiful, there is so beautiful.

465
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: Beautiful, black and white, completely British. Wouldn't you say, like

466
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: there's this restraint to it that I feel like is

467
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: a British thing. They meet in this train station, they

468
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: fall in love, and then they're just sort of like

469
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: going through the machinations of like wanting to be with

470
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: each other, but they can't because it's they have a

471
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: lot of there's societal expectations. I mean, this is nineteen

472
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: forty five. I mean this is a different era for women,

473
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: but for men too. So it's like it's just this

474
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: like completely beautiful, tender, restrained film about unfulfilled desire.

475
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: They are both yeah, they're both married, they can't. They

476
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 2: kind of fall in love accidentally, like they kind of

477
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: bump into each other a couple times randomly, and then

478
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of like, oh, let's go see a movie.

479
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: And then they both I think there's a scene where

480
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: they're I think I can't remember who says it, but

481
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 2: they're like we both realized what has happened, don't we?

482
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like, you know, also like don't you

483
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: think sorry to mean they're upchu No? But also, isn't

484
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: this movie this movie is like a pure example of

485
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: how other people can fuck up your shit so badly?

486
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yes, like all the.

487
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: People that they run across, like they just they have

488
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: such a finite amount of time to be around each

489
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: other because they're both waiting for trains, and then it's

490
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: like they're trying to sit there and look into each

491
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: other's eyes and have a moment, and then this fucking

492
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,040

Speaker 2: this guy's like, how's it going there? When I went, yeah, unbelievable.

498
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: What a film. Celia Johnson's face tells an entire story.

499
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: She has these big eyes, she looks like Audrey Tautteau,

500
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: and she just communicates this longing and this sadness and

501
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: this desire like, oh, it is a such good.

502
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: And the ending is gonna put your fucking heart in

00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Okay, so I'm I but I have

509
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: to say three. I need to say a different one now, Okay,

00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 2: so that one's been scratched, all right, Okay, I'm gonna

00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,680

512
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: forty six, directed by Faint Frank Capra. It's a Wonderful Life.

513
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I was getting nervous. Uh what a come on?

514
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: What a great movie.

515
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: I love this movie. And there's a scene where, uh.

516
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: Don't say it, don't say it? Is it the scene

517
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: that I'm thinking of with Donna.

518
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: Reid with the phone. Oh my god, Casey what the

519
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: phone scene? They're both listening on a phone and he's

520
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: like smelling her hair. Uh, is that her? Is it?

521
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: Donna Reid? Yes, Donna Reid, Jimmy Stewart. It's a wonderful life.

522
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: It's known as a Christmas movie, but it's so much

523
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: more than and I love Christmas movies, but it's so

524
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: much more than that. It's like about life and romance

525
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: and the fulfillment of life. And I think it gets

526
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: to something that I think I really love in romance

527
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: movies too, where part of the romance is discovering the

528
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: joy of life rather than just the love of this person.

529
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: It's discovering yourself too. I think that's what makes a

530
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: good romantic movie too, where it's like a person is

531
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 2: going through self discovery. And you know, Jimmy Stewart, you know,

532
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: down on his luck guy, he's visited by. He's like,

533
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: I wish I was dead, I wish I was never born,

534
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: And an angel comes and shows him his life and

535
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: what the world would be like without George Bailey. And

536
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: there's this beautiful scene. Yeah, like I already mentioned, he's

537
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: smelling her hair while they're listening on the phone and

538
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: it is hoked. It's hoked, and they look great and

539
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: it's beautiful.

540
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Like I I think that there

541
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: are a few moments in early Jimmy Stewart's career where

542
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I would kiss that man on the

543
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: mouth with tongue perhaps.

544
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: And this is the number one, like he has kissable

545
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: mouth syndrome.

546
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he was so cute, like back in

547
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: his early career, I mean later, like every a lot

548
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: of people think, oh yeah vertigo, no, no, uh uh now,

549
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: oh man, like everything. I mean even in Mister Smith

550
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Ghost Washington, I'm like that little wispy hair when he

551
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: gets all stressed out, I'm like, he's so cute. So

552
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: but this one is. I mean honestly, every time I

553
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: watched that scene of them on the phone, I get

554
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: butterflies in my stomach.

555
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, And then he's all like, oh no.

556
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: Oh god, now you just ruined it. You've ruined my fush.

557
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty good.

558
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: Impress, You've completely nailed it. But then you remember Jimmy

559
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: Stewart tall, tall, like.

560
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: Not on the bank, it's out of the Frank's house.

561
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: I love that. WIT's a wonderful life, just such a

562
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: beautiful I love a scene too where someone's running happily.

563
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: It's like a great Marry Chrissmass. You know where he's running.

564
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: It's great. Ye okay, that's my number three.

568
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: from nineteen fifty and h it was directed by Joseph H. Lewis.

569
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: It's called Gun Crazy.

570
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,760

573
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: Crazy is a noir, a noir film. It is an

574
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: early entry into that sort of thing that I mentioned earlier,

575
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: that kind of Bonnie and Clyde set up. It's you

576
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: know very much that it's so it's and you're thinking,

577
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying this right now, and you're thinking, what about

578
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: this is romantic? I'll tell you two people against the world,

579
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: two people who are misunderstood by literally everybody but themselves,

580
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: And that to me is I mean, I cannot think

581
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: of a more romantic scenario.

582
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: Right.

583
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: You've got John Dall. If you were a fan of

584
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: the actor John Dall like I am, please for the

00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: Love of God. Email me at Deer Movies at exactlyrightmedia

586
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: dot com. I'm a huge John dolphan. He wasn't in

587
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: a ton of films, but like the movies that he

588
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: was in are fantastic. Speaking of Jimmy Stewart, he was

589
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: in Rope. That's probably his most famous movie. He was

590
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: the guy that wasn't Farley Granger. But he plays basically

591
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: this kid, like a wayward kid that grows up that's

592
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 1: obsessed with guns, just like wants to shoot shoot shoot guns.

593
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 2: He's gone crazy.

594
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: He's absolutely goun crazy. It's like that Nirvana song in

595
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: bloom Right. So basically he goes to a carnival and

596
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: he meets like you know, goes to the sharpshooter tent

597
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: and it's this hot lady who was played by the

598
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: actress Peggy Cummins, and he's like, I have to have her,

599
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: I need to know her, like she loves guns just

600
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: as much as me. And then they get together and

601
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: it was like, let me tell you right now, the

602
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: actor John Dall from all accounts was a gay man, right,

603
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: but him and Peggy Cummings in this film, their chemistry

604
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: is unfucking real and what I've read, you know a

605
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: little bit about the production. I mean basically the director

606
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: was basically like, all right, you guys act like you

607
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: want to fuck each other all day and all night,

608
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: and they like did the task. They basically were like,

609
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: that's what this is on screen in the nineteen fifties,

610
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: like production code way. It's about as sexy as you

611
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: can get nice in that way. And they're so good

612
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: and it's romantic, and they're lovers on the run because

613
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: of course, you know they love guns. They gotta start

614
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: Robin Banks, and it's so wonderful, and like again you're thinking,

615
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: oh my god, a noir, how can it be romantic?

616
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: It is, I'm telling you it is. It's so so romantic.

617
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: Love it fabulous? Pick I need to see it. I

618
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: got to add it to my cue. Yeah, yeah, So

619
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 2: I'm eliminating. I had some other things on my list.

620
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 2: In the Mood for Love. We talked about that movie already.

621
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to discuss that, so I'm booting it

622
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: from my list. But I really think the movie Eternal

623
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 2: Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a very romance from

624
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: two thousand and four with Kate Winslet, directed by Michelle Gondry.

625
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: Is a very romantic movie in the sense it all

626
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: takes place in Jim Carrey's mind, So that is kind

627
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: of a romantic notion too, that things are happening within

628
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: your own mind. But it's also sort of the dissection

629
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: of what you liked about that person and basically the

630
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: whole In this world, you can erase people from your memories.

631
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 2: And Jim Carrey had a bad breakup with Kate Winslet,

632
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 2: and he's erasing her from his memories, and the movie

633
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: takes place in his brain and he's like, I regret it.

634
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 2: I regret this procedure and erasing her. So he's running

635
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 2: through his brain trying to save these memories basically, and

636
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: I feel like there's all this is. There's a lot

637
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 2: of sadness because it's about the end of a relationship,

638
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 2: but it is there's a lot of longing and there's

639
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: a lot of introspection about this person that you love

640
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: and you know it didn't work out necessarily in this movie,

641
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: but I don't know. I think there's something very sweet

642
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: about that and sad and I just love that movie

643
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: so much and I like that romance is the it's

644
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: like a relationship is the center of It's not like

645
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 2: there's a plot, something else is happening, and then there's

646
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 2: a romance in the movie. The romance is the structure

647
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: of the film, or a relationship is the structure of

648
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: the film, you know what I mean. So I love it.

649
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: I mean, lit'sten. There's something super romantic about somebody who

650
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: against sort of like their better judgment, is like desperate

651
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: to like remember this person, you know what I mean.

652
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: So there's that I think that's such a romantic concepts right,

653
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: But also it goes back to what I was saying

654
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: earlier about these kind of like oddball romances. I mean,

655
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: that's the thing about that movie that I love about

656
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: it is that, like, you know, you've got like these

657
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: two people who are kind of like good for nobody

658
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: except for each other in a way, Like Jim Carrey

659
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: is is kind of like depressed, like you know, teetering

660
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: on sort of like I don't know, having like maybe

661
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: a mental break, and he finds like this kind of

662
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: like I mean, we we've talked about this in the

663
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: in the in the second episode about you know, kind

664
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: of the manic pixie ish kind of dreamgirl trope. But

665
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: she is also kind of like quirky and maybe like

666
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, has her own stuff, but did they find

667
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: each other and they have like this whirlwind romance and

668
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: I know there's it's such a romantic movie. I'm so

669
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: glad you picked up.

670
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. Okay, you're number one.

671
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my number one most romantic movie of

672
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: all time. I actually rewatched it before we recorded to

673
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: make sure that it was still my number one, and

674
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: it is. This is another classic film. And I gotta say,

675
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: like the movies that I picked, you know, are all

676
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: basically old films, like they're made in the forties and fifties.

677
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's just my brain, Like I

678
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: love classic romances. I mean, no disrespect to the eternal sunshines,

679
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: but come on, like I got you gotta pick a

680
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: movie like this when you when you're shooting your shot, right.

681
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: So my number one, maybe the most romantic movie I've

682
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life is a movie from nineteen

683
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: forty six. It was directed by a couple of fellows

684
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: who called themselves the Archers, but it was Michael Powell

685
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: and Emeric Presburger, and the movie is called A Matter

686
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: of Life and Death.

687
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: I this is like the one Powell and Pressburger movie

688
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: I haven't seen.

689
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude, you like fucking scrap what I

690
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: just said earlier. You gotta see this movie.

691
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: Okay.

692
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: It is beautiful. It's this beautiful romantic fantasy film. It's

693
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: about this pilot, this like British pilot World War two,

694
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: played by David Niven, and he's like, at the very

695
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: beginning of the movie, the plane is fucking going down

696
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: and he's like, there's no fucking parachute and he's just

697
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: like it's going there, and he's like fuck and he's

698
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: like on the radio with like the radio operator be like,

699
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: my plane's going down. I'm sorry if illas love Joe,

700
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And like the radio operator

701
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: is this woman who's played by Kim Hunter, the actress

702
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: Kim Hunter, who was you probably know her from a

703
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: street card name Desire, amongst many other things. But she's

704
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: this American radio operator who like talks him through the crash,

705
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: like she's basically like, you know, I'm with you, and

706
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: they fall in love in that moment. And so what

707
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: happens is he's supposed to die in the crash, right,

708
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: turns out he didn't I, and they end up meeting

709
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: randomly after this horrific event, they fall in love. But

710
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: then it turns the movie is fucking so brilliant. It

711
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: basically is this I would say, like a scenario modeling

712
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: of like what would happen if Heaven was like, Okay,

713
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: we're expecting this guy because he died in an airplane

714
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: crash over the water in World War Two, but wait

715
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: a minute, he actually survived. Well, now we gotta go

716
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: get him. But now he's in love with this woman,

717
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: and it's so it's so lovely. It switches from black

718
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: and white to color, and so it's essentially like a

719
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: fantasy film about, you know, these angels from Heaven needing

720
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: to go get this guy because he technically should have died.

721
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: He's on their looks as a dead person who needs

722
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: to be in Heaven. But now it's complicated because he's

723
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: in love and sort of the whole thing, and now

724
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: he's on Earth, he's talking to these angels. It is

725
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: so romantic. It's literally like hurts my heart to talk

726
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: about it, that's how romantic it is. I love that

727
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: and beautiful shot beautifully. If you've ever seen an Archer's film,

728
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: if you've like a Powell press Reger movie. You know

729
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about, Red shoes like Black Narcissus,

730
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: that kind of technicolory. Oh my god, it's the best.

731
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: It is the best.

732
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of embarrassed by my number one, okay,

733
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: but you know romance is embarrassing. Sure, And the movie

734
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: i'm picking is a from two thousand and one, And why.

735
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: Would you be embarrassed about that?

736
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: Because it's it's sort of a basic bitch answer, I

737
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: feel like, but I just love Amillie so much. It's

738
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 2: so tender and sweet, and it's from two thousand and one.

739
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 2: It's French. It's stricted by Jean Pierre Janet, who you

740
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: might have seen direct other movies like Delicatessen or City

741
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: of Lost Children. He's a very fantastical, cartoonish director. But

742
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: Omily is about this woman played by Audrey Tetto named Omii,

743
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: and it's sort of the goings on of her cute

744
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: little life. She's trying to help out people in her

745
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 2: neighborhood by setting some people up in the cafe that

746
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 2: our lonely get them together. She's sort of pulling pranks

747
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: on mean guys to get even with them, and she

748
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 2: is trying to find this guy who keeps taking his

749
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 2: picture in photo booths. There's a lot of little mysteries

750
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 2: sort of going on, and all the while she's sort

751
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: of trying to figure out what she wants from life,

752
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: and she sort of keeps circling this other guy, you know,

753
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 2: and it's kind of long. There's like this other guy

754
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 2: who works at a sex shop that they kind of

755
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 2: keep almost connecting, and it's sort of scary and exciting,

756
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: and they're just sort of circling each other and you

757
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: can just tell they're the same kind of people, and

758
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: you just are like, these two are supposed to be together.

759
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 2: I don't quite even remember how we know that, but

760
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 2: you just know it. And there's a lot of like longing.

761
00:45:54,600 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 2: But it's very funny and cute, and it's such a

762
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: romantic world that it lives in. It's very red and

763
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 2: I just feel all sorts of butterflies with that movie.

764
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 2: And I love that movie so much, and that's my

765
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 2: number one.

766
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: Well listen, I even though you said it was a

767
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: basic bitch answer, I won't say it's not. But sometimes

768
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: the basic bitch answer is the answer. Do you know

769
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, uh, that's yes, it is. It is,

770
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: and this is a preer example of that. I mean, honestly, Like,

771
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: so we talked about this movie, by the way, when

772
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: I saw what You Did, and I had a lot

773
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: to say about this because it was that kind of

774
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: thing where it felt like this movie like set the

775
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: table for like a lot of like kind of quirkburgery

776
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: romantic crap that I fucking hated in the two thousands. However,

777
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: this movie is so lovely that I feel like it is,

778
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: like it should be held up as a really beautiful, romantic, cute,

779
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: sweet film. And even though they tried a hundred different

780
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: ways to like remake it in the worst ways, like

781
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 1: this one, the og is still the best. And honestly,

782
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: like it is so romantic, like it really is. Like

783
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: by the end, you're just sort of like, oh my god,

784
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: I'm like crying my fucking brains out.

785
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and it has I think one of

786
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: the best kisses in film history, because a lot of

787
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 2: times when like the characters of a film, you're like

788
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 2: rooting for them to get together and then all of

789
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 2: a sudden they're smashing their faces into each other, and

790
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 2: film you know, but it's a very good kiss at

791
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: the end, which is sometimes hard to film.

792
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't blame it all for being your number

793
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: one basic bitch, and that's totally fine with me.

794
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: So that is my nature. Yeah, and I'm realizing that

795
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 2: as this podcast goes on, well fabulous. Uh. I feel

796
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 2: like we really did such a great job of getting

797
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 2: into the nitty gritty of romantic movies and we do.

798
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: You know, I think at our core we're just kind

799
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: of we're both too MUSHes.

800
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: We are we are, and I hope that, like, if

801
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: you've not seen any of those movies, especially the older

802
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: ones that we mentioned, you should really seek them out.

803
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think they're widely available. They're probably at

804
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: least on Amazon Prime. Definitely a lot of them are

805
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: on Criterion Collection, So yeah, check them out. I mean

806
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: they're just that's so fun to be to, you know,

807
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: have like actually to have a holiday like Valentine's Day

808
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: being an excuse to watch a bunch of romantic movies.

809
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think it's kind totally totally.

810
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: All right. So we got to move into this new section, yes,

811
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: because I have this game for you this week.

812
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: That is is our game section.

813
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: Yes, this this is very very on topic for our

814
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 1: episode this week. But I love creating games to break

815
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: your brain. And hopefully this will because like we said,

816
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: the last time we played a game, I said, I really,

817
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got every one of them right.

818
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 2: So I got every single one of them right. It

819
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: was really embarrassing for you, and uh so, yeah, I'm

820
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 2: excited to see what you got.

821
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: All right. So this is a game. I don't have

822
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: a title for the game. You can come up with

823
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: it if you want. Listen, okay or casey, But these

824
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: are I'm gonna present to you five films, and I'm

825
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna give you a synopsis of a film, okay, and

826
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to name the film. Every film in

827
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: this list has the word love in it.

828
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I'm scared now because I made fun of

829
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 2: you for the previous game easy, and then you're like,

830
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fucking destroy you on this game, and so

831
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm I am legitimately frightened.

832
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: Well, and here's to narrow the field a little bit,

833
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of movies with love in them.

834
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: These five films are movies that I love, so I

835
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: love so these are movies that I like. So you

836
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: know you've done Potcas that's right. So these are movies

837
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: that if you know me and you know my sensibilities,

838
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: you might get them. So, like, you know, think about

839
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: it that way. So guess what love actually and on

840
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: this fucking list? Okay, get out of here. Yeah, so

841
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: this is stuff that I would like. So maybe something

842
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: a little you know, I'm not saying like underground, but

843
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, a little off the beaten paths.

844
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: So some of them. All right, So here we go

845
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: number one. So the synopsis of this film is this

846
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: is a darkly comedic satire starring George C. Scott and

847
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: Peter Sellers, in which a rogue US general triggers a

848
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: nuclear crisis.

849
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,120

850
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 2: Atomic Bomb?

851
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: I think it's technically how I learned to stop worrying.

852
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: And love it.

853
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,680

Speaker 1: my favorite classic film actors, is great in this film.

Speaker 1: So this is a melancholic drama from the director of

945
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: the beloved cult hit Possession, all about a struggling actress

946
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: played by Romy Schneider who becomes entangled in a turbulent

947
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: love trigle with a photographer played by Fabio Testy and

948
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 1: her possessive husband played by Jacques dul Trunk.

949
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 2: I do not know this The only other the only

950
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: other movie I know that, uh, the Possession director did

951
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 2: was like on the Silver Globe or something like that,

952
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 2: which has been on my TikTok a lot for some reason. Yeah,

953
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not going to look it up.

954
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 1: Okay. This is the American title, the English title, okay, so,

955
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean technically it's called something in French, right, but

956
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: it's called that Most Important Thing Love nineteen seventy five,

957
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: Andre's Mulwawski. If that's the that's the director you're thinking of,

958
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: dude Possession, Yeah, this is his, like I would say

959
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: probably his. Like second, I don't know, if you talk

960
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 1: about him and he's like pretty obscure director, I would

961
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,439
Speaker 1: say yeah. But this is the other one that I think,

962
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, people bring up from time to time only

963
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: because everybody knows, like you know, cenophiles know who Romy

964
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: Schneider and Fabio Testy is for sure. But anyway, it's

965
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of nutty, very stylish. But yeah, I had

966
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: to add it at the end because I was like, yo,

967
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: if he gets this, I will I will write him

968
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: at check for ten. But you know this is to

969
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: make up for the softball quiz from last time. So

970
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: there you go.

971
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 2: Well, thank you Millie for another fascinating quiz. Last week.

00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: you so much. Good effort though, good effort. Okay, moving

974
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 2: on to our final segment, Employee picks aka chicks picks.

975
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 2: But that's the box that my mom put at the

976
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: movie the video rental place. Your suffragette mom My suffragette mom. Yes,

977
00:58:54,200 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 2: Sandra O'Brien, we love her. Okay. So you know, I

978
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 2: was thinking about love a lot and love in movies,

979
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 2: and I think there's a like there was a lot

980
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: when we were trying to think of the most romantic movies.

981
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 2: I was trying to a lot of ideas came to

982
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 2: my mind, but they were I was like, this is

983
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 2: a really romantic movie, but I like love the romance

984
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 2: in it. If that makes sense it does to you.

985
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 2: So this is a movie that I've mentioned on this

986
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 2: show before, but I believe I have, but it is.

987
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's a romance necessarily in a way

988
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 2: it is, but there's really good romance in it. And

989
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 2: that is a nineteen eighty five Japanese film called Tompopepo.

990
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: Ah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

991
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 2: And it's it's more about the love affair with Japanese cuisine,

992
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 2: but there's really sweet romances between a few different characters.

993
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 2: It's about a woman who owns a ramen shop and

994
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 2: this truck driver stops in town and he's kind of

995
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 2: a It happens in their shop, but he's stopping at

996
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 2: romen spots all over the country because he's a truck

997
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 2: driver and he decides to help her kind of revitalize

998
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: her ramen shop. Yes, and there is some romance between them,

999
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 2: but it's all very like will they won't they? And

1000
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: there's also there's a lot of different storylines in this

1001
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 2: and there is just sort of a more There's like

1002
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 2: a gangster character who has a romance with a woman

1003
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: that's very sexy and kind of fleeting. You don't really

1004
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 2: know exactly what's going on with that story, but they

1005
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 2: kind of just swoop through sometimes. But overall it is

1006
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 2: such a sweet, beautiful, funny movie. You can watch it

1007
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 2: on HBO Max right now. Tom Popo which means Dandelion

1008
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 2: Cues in Japanese, and I love that movie so much.

1009
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good pick. Actually, that's kind of, you know,

1010
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 1: like not a completely obvious choice, but like once you've

1011
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: said it makes sense. Okay, So here's what I'm gonna do.

1012
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I I am gonna fuck this shit up so badly

1013
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: because I'm this is technically not a movie. I gotta say,

1014
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I I know, and I can't help it in the

1015
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: and the reason why I'm evoking these uh, these kind

1016
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: of exceptional rules for this episode is because I literally

1017
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: just finished it and I got it. I have to say,

1018
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: it's probably the most romantic thing I've seen in a

1019
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: very long time, maybe in years. And I'm not joking

1020
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: when I tell you, I cried literally every single episode

1021
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: of this show.

1022
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 2: WHOA.

1023
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: There was not one episode where I didn't cry.

1024
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 2: Wow.

1025
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So I my so my nephew who is about

1026
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: to be nine or maybe he's about to be ten.

1027
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: I think he's nine. He is really into anime, right,

1028
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: and I have never really gotten into anime before. I mean,

1029
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: obviously I like know what it is, and I've seen

1030
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: like the Studio Ghibli movies and that kind of stuff,

1031
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: but I've never seen like anime shows or anything like that.

1032
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Like I like, I know who like Naruto is, but

1033
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never seen all of it. Right, So

1034
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: during the holidays, I started watching this. It's on Netflix.

1035
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: It's this anime series that's called kimmin Ta Dooke. I

1036
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: think I've said that right from me to you. It

1037
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: started out as a Japanese manga, it got made into

1038
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: a show. There was there's been three seasons of it.

1039
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: The first two seasons came out in like the late

1040
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: two thousands, So it's been like the first the very

1041
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: first like one or two season and were like late twenty's,

1042
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: early twenty tens. But then they made a third season

1043
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: that came out within the past like six months, okay,

1044
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: and it is this unbelievably sweet and adorable story of

1045
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: this little I wouldn't say she's a little girl, she's

1046
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: like a teenage girl. She the joke is that she

1047
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: looks like the girl from the Ring, you know that

1048
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: movie with the ring with the black hair. So she's

1049
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: at her school and she looks like this horror movie character,

1050
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: and everybody thinks she's weird and they don't like her.

1051
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: But of course there's this one guy in her high

1052
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: school that is like the nice popular guy sees beyond

1053
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: her freakiness, and they just like slow talk about a

1054
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: slow burn love holy fucking shit. Like over the course

1055
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: of like the three seasons, they just like hang out

1056
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: more and more and fall fall for each other, and

1057
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: it's like it's this whole It is agonizing. The willmaw

1058
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: won't they is so agonizing that I thought I was

1059
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,919
Speaker 1: gonna have a heart attack. Like I was like, they

1060
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: have to get together or I will die. I will

1061
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: literally drop dead, and it was like every episode was

1062
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: so sweet and endearing, and like the girl Sodako, that's

1063
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: the little girl character, and then her the guy that

1064
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: she's in love with. His name is Kasa Hayah. Kasa

1065
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Hyah is the model for every boyfriend. Like he's this

1066
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: like tall, dark haired guy with the messy, you know, BedHead,

1067
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: and he's so fucking nice and like he protects her

1068
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: from all these bullies and he's just like he always

1069
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: tries to make her feel comfortable because she's socially awkward

1070
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: because she was bullied in her school and so she

1071
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to be around people and she has

1072
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: good intentions, but she's awkward and he's always like there

1073
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: for her. Dude, I loved it so much. It is

1074
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: unbelievable how much I loved it. I actually bought the

1075
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: first book in the in the series, which I've never

1076
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: even read manga before. I'm like a middle aged woman.

1077
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I guess I'm gonna read this manga

1078
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: and it's like backwards, you know, I guess you have

1079
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: to read it from the back or something. Right, Is

1080
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: that right, good people?

1081
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, it's I I have read a few manga

1082
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 2: and it is a little challenging at first to get

1083
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 2: that done. But it is good.

1084
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Yes, it is so wonderful and I just had that

1085
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: is like I said, it's not technically a movie, it's

1086
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: technically a series. It's an animated series on Netflix. I've

1087
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: not seen a live action. There's a live action one

1088
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: on Netflix. I would say, start with the animated one

1089
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: and you will die over how cute it is. I

1090
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: loved it so much.
