11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: how did we miss that boat? Oftentimes, though, I will

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,879

00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: on this incredible, incredible songwriters throughout this entire album and

52

Speaker 2: And Oscar nominated e J and Mark sonom Blick, who

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: wrote Golden and produced Golden. I think I've been the

55
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: most visually out there for obvious reasons, yep, and also

56
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: like hearing their stories is great. Mark sono Blick also

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: wrote the music and theater Camp, which was so good.

58
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen it? Oh?

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so good? Oh of course I've seen it, Okay,

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: just making sure No, I know, I know, I mean,

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: there's a theater movie. I'm seeing it and it's then. So.

62
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: The film was animated by Sony Pictures Image Works with

63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: Josh Beveridge as animation director. I really enjoyed the animation style.

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: It was not what I thought it would be.

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: Really, what did you expect?

66
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: I think because I've only seen small clips and you know,

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: like still images of it. I think the way, like

68
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: how the movement is, it's not just like a straightforward

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: style of animation that I thought it might be.

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Got it, got it? Yeah, it was really really good. Yes,

71
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: like I get it good again. There's the voices of

72
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: the characters, and then there are the singing voices, so like,

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: for example, Ardent Show is roomy, and then e J

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: does Rumy singing voice. Also notably like uh my mayhng

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: is Mira and then Audrey Na plays Mira singing voice.

76
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: So there's all these different voices. Especially also Lea Salanga

77
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: makes a cameo. Oh yeah, Daniel Day Kim's in this,

78
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Ken Jong is Bobby joking Booster. It's so good, so good.

79
00:04:49,920 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: The songs are how It's Done, Golden, Soda Pop, take Time,

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Free Your Idol, and what it sounds like. I can't

81
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: believe it's only those songs I know, because there's little

82
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: like interludes within the film as well. So I was like, oh,

83
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: I've heard that before, Like.

84
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: Golden comes back like three times and then she does

85
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: a papella ones.

86
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: Love Golden, I Love Golden. My Emma's favorite song is

87
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: how It's Done, and then and then take Down and

88
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: then Golden.

89
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: I did not know there was a boy band in

90
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: this movie.

91
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: I got it. Now I've seen clips, I've seen you know,

92
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: hearing Soda Pop of course, and now.

93
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, make a lot more sense.

94
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: Now everything makes more sense. I'm listening to this album like, oh,

95
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: I know what's happening. I understand.

96
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: Okay, So the official summary for this movie when K

97
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: pop superstars Roomy, Mirra, and Zoe aren't selling out stadiums,

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: they're using their secret powers to protect their fans from

99
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: supernatural threats.

100
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: This became such a global phenomenon so quickly, and it

101
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: went on to become the most watched original title in

102
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Netflix history, surpassing five hundred million views worldwide. Are you kidding? Yeah,

103
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing. And I think I've told this story

104
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: maybe when we were interviewing somebody. But we were at

105
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: Emma's preschool and they did this Christmas party and all

106
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: the kids were it was all our age. They were

107
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: listening to it at school. They were like, you know,

108
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: at home whatever. Her tiny little preschool of like three

109
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: four and five year olds. They have glow sticks. There's

110
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: a DJ, one of the teachers DJ. The lights are

111
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: out and they're screaming their heads off, jumping up and

112
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: down to golden and my little heart exploded, like I

113
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: didn't think it could explode anymore. And it was like, wow,

114
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: all these different kids, is it's verse in like, you know,

115
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: all these different ethnicities. But like watching little Emma, who's

116
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: half Korean stand with this like me thing, jumping up

117
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: and down screaming the words of this song. I was like,

118
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: she will never understand what it took for this to

119
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: happen and for how far we've come and how meaningful

120
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: it is. And it's so it's normal for her that

121
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: K pop is just popular and wildly accepted. And it

122
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: was like I was like, I am not okay, this

123
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: is so cool. This is so so cool, Like she

124
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: has no idea.

125
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: That's wild to think about too, because I think for

126
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: so many of us it also transcends like age this movie,

127
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: everybody loves it. But I think, yes, for a lot

128
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: of us, we can take it for granted because you're like, oh,

129
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: we love K pop and it's become popular and it's

130
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: like this is just another movie. Yeah, But for a

131
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: whole generation of kids, yeah, this is going to be

132
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: like a foundational and there's childhood that they're going to

133
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: have for the rest of their life that they're going

134
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: to know these songs. They're gonna be able to talk

135
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: about it. And it's a movie, like it's a movie

136
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: with Korean characters, it's Korean culture in it, there's Korean

137
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: language in it.

138
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: It's so cool. It's really really and you're like, well,

139
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: there needs to be more because look people love it.

140
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: Hello, Yeah, I like what is that. I don't even

141
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: know what that says about, Like the current state of

142
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: things where it's like.

143
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Well, look at squid Game too.

144
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: Yes, And I think it's you have all these like

145
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: old white people in power, right, and like they've you know,

146
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: down the line. They're like, oh, look we're hiring people

147
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: who aren't white. That's great. But at the end of

148
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: the day, the default so often to like what they're

149
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: used to, which is something like.

150
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: This, yes, exactly, not taking the risk. It's risky, yes, and.

151
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: It's like it doesn't matter. Kids especially do not care

152
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: because the only you learn those prejudices and like.

153
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: They have no idea. This is what they're this is

154
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: what's coming out. This is what they love. It's good content.

155
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: It's like fun, it's got story, it's gotten arc, it's

156
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: got characters. It's like it's.

157
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: It's really good as well. Yeah, yeah, I think it

158
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: really does. I think like when we were growing up,

159
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: I feel like there were so many movies or like

160
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: animated things like that where it was either oh, it's

161
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: really wholesome, but it's not cool, right right, or if

162
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: it's really cool, it's sort of it's it's an edging

163
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: on like not providing like good representations children, and so

164
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: like this has everything. It like walks that line so

165
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: beautifully where you have these characters who are work king

166
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: and they love their fans. It's like a really it's

167
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 2: a really big fan service thing, like oh we need

168
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: a break, We're like, no, we don't, because we actually

169
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: just want to be with our fans so much. So

170
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: I also think it helps like create a healthy fan culture.

171
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep. And then also like this like the

172
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: messaging of like identity and like hiding who you are

173
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: and being breaking open and you know, kind of just

174
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: being your true self and that being you know, that's.

175
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: Your real superpower.

176
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, your flaws and your you know, faults,

177
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: et cetera, and just and accepting those and loving them.

178
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: And then there's that good. There's a old adage of

179
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: why musicals are so special and still are necessary and

180
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: still work of the feeling you can get from hearing

181
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: a song. It's just so different. Look, I'm not religious

182
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: at all. Yeah, but if you play me some gospel music.

183
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: You mean take me to chrick Yeah.

184
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: Well yeah, like the I will have chills and goosebumps,

185
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 2: and I will feel connected to whoever's singing and whoever's around.

186
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: It's like there's something music can provide that the intangible

187
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: that we will never be able to I think fully articulate. Yep,

188
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: but like that's what this movie because the music and

189
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: story work so flawlessly together. Yep, it makes it. I

190
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: think that magic special sauce.

191
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the soundtrack is such a massive success. It

192
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: became the first film soundtrack to have four songs simultaneously

193
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: in the top ten of Billboard Hot one hundred and

194
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: earning double platinum certification in the US by October of

195
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, just like a few months after it premiered.

196
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

197
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: Kevin Golden also became the first K pop song ever

198
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: to win a Grammy this year.

199
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: Ah wow, yeah, wow.

200
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely nuts. And it probably will win the Oscar.

201
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's winning every it's it's sweeping, it's

202
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: it's cleaning up.

203
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: And even if it doesn't win the Oscar, it doesn't matter.

204
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: That's I mean, it won the Critics Choice Golden Globes.

205
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: The film won Best Animated Feature and Best Regional Songs

206
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: for the Golden Globes. That kind of like kick started

207
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: this whole thing again after it being such a massive

208
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: success for Netflix in June. But the parents that like,

209
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: we were like, oh my god, everybody wants K pop

210
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: demon Hunters. Emma calls it cake pop demon Hunters. Sometimes

211
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: she hasn't seen the movie. She's a little too young,

212
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: but she loves the music. And every parent's like, oh yeah,

213
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: my daughter's obsessed with it. But at least it's good,

214
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: and you're like, yes, everybody wants to listen to this.

215
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't mind that she wants to listen to this

216
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: on loop because it's good and we're all singing. We're

217
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: all singing along.

218
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: So I think what's also fascinating is that, like the

219
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: cultural impact. Obviously K pop has been growing, like your

220
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: veer in the US, the popularity around the world, not

221
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 2: just the US, but this movie, I think, you know,

222
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: there like a lot of that a lot of k pop,

223
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: most of K pop is made in Korea, like by Koreans,

224
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: and it has just like transcended that. But this movie

225
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: was mostly made by Korean people, but outside of Korea. Yeah,

226
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: while like still centering Korean culture and mythology and music.

227
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: And that's even what I think is the most fascinating part.

228
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: An animated movie about Korea has driven up tourism in

229
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: South Korea, so like the twenty twenty five tourism like

230
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: skyrocketed and people were going to the actual locations of

231
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: animated movie wow wowow. And like there's nothing better to

232
00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: educate people of all ages than experiencing other cultures. Yes,

233
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, a lot of like separation

234
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: and our politics in world today is like fear driven

235
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: and fear from the unknown or things that you have

236
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: not experienced yourself. And it's like it may seem silly

237
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: to say this, but like an animated you know, movie

238
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: for mostly children can really help bridge that gap, yep.

239
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: And it's like you should be visiting other places, you

240
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: should be interested in other cultures because there's so much

241
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: you can learn about yourself, so much other people, and

242
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: it makes you more empathetic and also it's just a great, greatposure. Yes.

243
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: I lak Djokovic also celebrated is when at the US

244
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: happened by doing the soda pop things at the end.

245
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, even he's doing it.

246
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: And I hadn't obviously seen it yet, but I was like,

247
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is wild. He has kids, so

248
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: it makes sense, but I thought that was fun. All

249
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: of our world's.

250
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: Or I've watched the movie, I have sort of been

251
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: obsessed with watching the real women who are the singing

252
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: voices of Hunterrick's and I remember when they went on

253
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, I've literally watched I think all of

254
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: their life, also Jimmy Kimmel.

255
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: Their voices are great, and EJ's voice.

256
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: Is so high stupid like her voices.

257
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think I could hit this

258
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: on a good day, on my best day. It's crazy.

259
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: It's really they are so good, all the different versions

260
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: we listen to all of them.

261
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: I also think, like what this movie has not only

262
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: done for the public, but also like when you hear

263
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: EJ's story, she was a songwriter and she was always

264
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: told she wasn't gonna make it as like a K

265
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: pop star, so she became a songwriter, yeah, solely, and

266
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: then here she is like on every show on TV

267
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: singing the song that she wrote, winning all these awards

268
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: for it. And it's just like this movie keeps on

269
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: providing more and more like opportunities for great things to happen.

270
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, and like those are things you can never

271
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: ever ever plan for.

272
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: No, that's it. It's lightning in a bottle, right, and it's

273
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: fun to witness that. Yes, definitely, director Maggie King. She

274
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: designed Roomy like way before for a different project. Oh really, yeah,

275
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: it was artwork. Her husband is a director and a

276
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: story word artist, Radford Secrest, and then she was on

277
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: artwork on the bottom of a skateboard before Kang had

278
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: decided she was gonna She loved the character, and Kang's

279
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: daughter is now named Rumy, so Roomy really lives. Oh

280
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: my god, I think this is the most fun and

281
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: I like the King. She wanted to create female characters

282
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: who were powerful but also messy, funny and imperfect. Isn't

283
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: that the dream? Writing for real characters who represent real women.

284
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: They're not you know, they're not perfect, they're not polished,

285
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: but they're still loved, right, like I love this whole

286
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: thing and how it's these three women at the helme

287
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: of this film. I also was like, oh, this could

288
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: totally be a live action film, even though I obviously

289
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: it works better as an animated I think it could be.

290
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I could see this.

291
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: I also like the like Maggie King has described the

292
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: movie as a love letter to K pop and her

293
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: Korean heritage and like leaning into like Korean culture mythology

294
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 2: socially like the shamanism, using music and dance as spiritual rituals.

295
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: And she the film was also inspired by the work

296
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: of Bom Junhole who did Parasite, who is like one

297
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: of my favorite directors of all time. And I was like, Okay,

298
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: this all is like this is everything.

299
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: Too, yeah, because he's able to like walk that line

300
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: that this movie does where there's humor, there's action, there's emotion,

301
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: and there's like a lot of depth and sort of

302
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 2: like the the obstacles they have to go through learning

303
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 2: about genius, like actual history, where like he presents it

304
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: as one thing and then like, oh, this is serious. Yeah,

305
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: but like kids aren't dumb.

306
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: No, that's no, we have to give them the chance, yes.

307
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: And it's like, let's let's see how we deal with

308
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: the truth of embracing the things. There's so much about

309
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: shame in this movie and like weaponizing shame and then

310
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: releasing that shame because don't need to carry that And like,

311
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've seen the children's movie that

312
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: talks so openly about shame in that way.

313
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: No, definitely not.

314
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 2: And then tackles it. They run head and headfirst into that.

315
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the closest thing that I can think

316
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: of the most recent thing that has touched upon like

317
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: not shame, but love and self worth coming from inside

318
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: not out as like incanto.

319
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: Mh.

320
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Like that reminded me of that piece of Like also, Kevin,

321
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: when you were talking about the the animation, Uh, they didn't.

322
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: They instead of following the hybrid two D three D

323
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: approach like Sony Spider Verse films, the team built the

324
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: movie on three D CGI, so it was in borrowing

325
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: from anime style expressions and stylization. So it's like kind

326
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: of this new format that they created, which is.

327
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: So cool, and it felt like that, like it felt

328
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: like it almost I think that's what I was surprised

329
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: by it because it looks three D, but it felt

330
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: two D and some of it it's like presentation in

331
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: a good way, and I think that's probably the stylization

332
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 2: is is where that shows the most, like yeah, just

333
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 2: the movements between characters and yeah, yeah. I also loved

334
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: the choreography. Oh, I mean the choreography was incredible in

335
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: this movie and was like so accurate.

336
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: It was so good. The ficial group hun Tricks, it

337
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: was modeled after like real K pop acts like Black

338
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: Pink obviously twice.

339
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: They were sort of like to me, they were like

340
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: this like the sisters of Big.

341
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: Bang, Yes, like they were that Yes and the Raval

342
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: boy bands, the Saga Boys. They drew inspiration from like BTS,

343
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: Stray Kids, Big Bang Also. Yeah, So the choreography was beautiful.

344
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: The numbers were beautiful. I also loved the tour, like

345
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: the meta tour aspect from like the beginning and throughout

346
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the fandom of it, all of them speaking like to

347
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: the camera and confessional style about their love for the

348
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: He's giving me girls like you know a little Glee

349
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: three D Glee three D Yes, and I I really

350
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was like it was a cool way

351
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: to us to get us into the universe. Of like

352
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: the fans, like the fans. It always comes back to

353
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: the fans of these groups and how they why they

354
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: do what they do right. It was a little meta,

355
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: but I loved it.

356
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: I also liked how, you know, the movie opens up

357
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: almost immediately with like their first battle with the demons,

358
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: and I like how there's not really a question of

359
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 2: how are we going to beat them? Ever?

360
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

361
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: If they're all in sync, you know and coordinated, like,

362
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: there's no way they're ever going to lose, right, they

363
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: get so powerful, the three of them are they just

364
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: had the plan even towards the end of the movie. Yeah.

365
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: The thing that they that makes them get in trouble

366
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: is that they separate and they say that through them

367
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: like she's we do everything in three part harmony, and

368
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 2: like that's how it works.

369
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmmmmm.

370
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: And I really love how, like I hate you know,

371
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 2: when there's always that like seed of doubt in your head.

372
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, are they going to do like all those

373
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: tropes and they didn't, like they didn't fall into that

374
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: thing of I didn't even think about it, like, oh,

375
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: they're almost going to be overrun, Like no, there's not

376
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: something even possible no question, because if they're locked in,

377
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: they they got it. Yeah, hits on hits on hits.

378
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: And I also like it was about like saving not

379
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: only their fans, but like all people through music and connection.

380
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 2: And it's like it's also about sort of like what

381
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: are you putting out into the world Because you have

382
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: the boy band that shows up and they have great songs,

383
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: but what is like their intentions behind their songs are

384
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: dark and sinister, right where all hunters this is intentions

385
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: always are like positive for the greater good, right, we

386
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: love everybody.

387
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: And like the lyrics the songwriting element within it too,

388
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: of watching them like create these songs, write these songs,

389
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: and she's like, the lyrics still aren't right, they aren't right,

390
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: And it gives this like extra level of like I

391
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: think to what we were saying earlier, of like this

392
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: understanding of like now when you hit the right lyrics,

393
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: there's meaning behind it, there's intention behind it, And now

394
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: as a viewer, I'm more appreciative and understanding of what

395
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: like the journey and then also what it means. It

396
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: was a sorry, I.

397
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: Can't sing this song because these lyrics don't resonate with

398
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: me right now exactly which is exactly very powerful and yeah,

399
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: and it's like also teaching kids how to like listen

400
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: to music and appreciate a lyric.

401
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I did feel like I texted you at

402
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: one point through the film and was like, what else

403
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: could happen? Like we're an hour, Like there's an hour left,

404
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, what else could could happen?

405
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: I had the exact at the exact same point, by

406
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 2: the way, checked how much was left. I was like, oh,

407
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: damn it.

408
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I think there's something that lags in the middle

409
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's like a piece too long, But

410
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: I get it, and I don't mind it. I just

411
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: had to get through that piece and then I was like, oh,

412
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm back in. As soon as I like started again,

413
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm back in. But it's it's

414
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: like a little long for a kids film or like

415
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: a I guess it's an adult film that kids can watch.

416
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: But I appreciated the second half and it didn't like

417
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: the pacing was fine to me, it was right, It's

418
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: just like a little bit forever.

419
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: I could have watched these characters. I mean, they're obviously

420
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: going to make a sequel, but like, yeah, yeah, right, yeah,

421
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: I just I wanted to be in that world. Yeah,

422
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: it also was kind of scary, I thought, so I

423
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: was shocked at how scary some of this was.

424
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: Well, we watched a sample of this earlier, like around

425
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: maybe October, and both David and I were like, no,

426
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: we can't. No, it's like I can't you know, I

427
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: can't see it.

428
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's like beautiful character design for the demons and like.

429
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: Totally and even the girls, like with their big expressions

430
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: when they're like yelling and the eyes and everything, it's

431
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: like a little scary, like I and it was, but

432
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: it was done beautifully.

433
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was imagining if like you're a little kid,

434
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: because you just.

435
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: Really yeah, well I will be like this is scary,

436
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: key fast forward. Yeah, but I don't even want her

437
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: to see it. Right. It's like the Grinch, I.

438
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: Think after you told me that about the Grinch, I

439
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 2: every time I saw the Grinch, I was like.

440
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Every time, you better believe. I'm like, let's go.

441
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: He is scary.

442
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: He's so scary. I've seen a few characters on the

443
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: street who during the Christmas season and I was like,

444
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: get out of my way. You are scary. I don't

445
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: like you.

446
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: There was a point in this movie, and I'm not

447
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 2: saying this because we're a Glee podcast, but there was

448
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: a point during this movie.

449
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: We would have killed these songs.

450
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like Golden would be like Rachel would

451
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: be like, well, this is my solo for competition. You'd

452
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: be like, are you kidding me?

453
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: It's giving it's giving a redo?

454
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: On, Well, did you and Rachel have a diva off?

455
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: What's the gollamn style? Yeah, it's a redo? Were giving

456
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: Gina redo?

457
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like, no, let her, let her do the

458
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: only other Korean song we've ever done.

459
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: Ah, although it's very hack Yevin Jenna, I know, I know,

460
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: I know I could do it. It's it's not live.

461
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Sure, that's fine.

462
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: She doesn't even option down every No.

463
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: She doesn't.

464
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: Did you hear it?

465
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 2: Like she said she was having like a freak out

Speaker 2: before Jimmy fallon? Was she yes? And she didn't know

467
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: I for voices going to come out because her voice

468
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 2: was like so tired. Sure you're doing all the press

469
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: and everything. Oh my god, she sounded perfect. Its insane.

470
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: She sounds so good. That has to be like a

471
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: comfortable place for her, because that's crazy.

472
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: That is crazy.

473
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: Her voice must just live up there.

474
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: No, Golden would would have definitely been Anglee.

475
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: Can you imagine Golden as a competition song for the

476
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: Trouble Tones.

477
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: Can we just ask Adam Anders to do that for

478
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: us so we can hear it, because I would love

479
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: to see that.

480
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: I want it.

481
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: I need a revival. Also, the boys doing soda pop

482
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: definitely great, definitely do so. It's such a bop. I

483
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: love it. Emma used to be like fast forward this one.

484
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm like no, no, no, no girl, But now we're

485
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: into it. We're into it now. Yeah, yeah, I I

486
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: I these songs are perfect. How are they going to

487
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: do this again? So I was sequel.

488
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 2: That's always your Here's what I think. I think, no

489
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: matter what, the music is going to still be great.

490
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 2: I think what you can't intentionally try to recreate is

491
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: like this moment that is currently happening for Golden.

492
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: Right, yes, yes, yeah, If you're chasing that, then you're

493
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: not doing this. Just make good music, right.

494
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: Because that's lightning in a bottle that just like one

495
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: in a million chants and it's happening. But I think

496
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: it's like Frozen two or like that. Music is still great. Yeah,

497
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: but like let it go? Do you want to build

498
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: a snowman? Were moments because it's the first time it happened.

499
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, although we did do it with the Unknown, but

500
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: it was still wasn't no, it wasn't that, but it

501
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: will be like on the Heels, Yes, something excellent, but.

502
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: It's still going to be great music. Agreed. I'm definitely

503
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: going to because people, these people make great music. Like

504
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: that's just that's what's going to happen.

505
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: I can't get that beat out of my head from

Speaker 1: Okay, talk about it, because the.

550
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: Whole time I was like, if I saw this in person,

551
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? They start the number by levitating.

552
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: It is so cool, and then they show up downstage

553
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: and then they pop back up upstage and are levitating again.

554
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: I was like, this is theatrics.

555
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: It's giving as long as your mind.

556
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: But like historically, like the boy groups have always been

557
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: more theatrical than the girl groups, and I think you

558
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: also see that in some of like like the hairstyles

559
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: and things in the group Saga Boys.

560
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

561
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: And then like they're like stage their stage presence is

562
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: like campier, yes, you know, like it is, and they

563
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: show up in these like Beyonce formation hats and they're

564
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: like demon wear and they're levitating. I just thought that

565
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: was so cool.

566
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty great levitation what it sounds like. It was like,

567
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: I give it an.

568
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: A chills A plus oh wow, oh, because I mean

569
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: it's like the So I think we need to talk

570
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: about EJ's range because she can live up there, but

571
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: she also starts a song. I didn't think it was her.

572
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: I was like her, I didn't know it was her either.

573
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: I was like, that's her. It's excellent. Yeah, I mean

574
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: her range is crazy. Also, that ponytail must be so heavy.

575
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: Every fight girl wants that purple ponytail. I was like,

576
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,240

577
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: But we love it? I want it to.

578
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: Also the fashion, it was all like inspired by amazing

579
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: designers like Javonte, Jean, Paul Gautier, Alexander McQueen, and then

580
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: also blending in Korean traditional ements. I thought that the

581
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: costumeing was yeah, onto, I okay, all right, let's do

582

584
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

585
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,040

590
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,240

592
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:03,080
