1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: On the bed Cast, the questions asked if movies have

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: women and um, are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands,

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: or do they have individualism the patriarchy Zef and best

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: start changing it with the Bedel Cast. Hello, and welcome

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: to the Bechtel Cast. My name is Caitlin Darante and

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: my name is Jamie Loftus. Unless my name is Caitlin

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Durante and and my name is actually Jamie Loftus. And

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I just realized that we look exactly alike.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god. We should do some royal hijinks your

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: you should do some royal hijinks, and then I'll just

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: have sex with your friend. I think that's how the

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: first one goes, right. Basically, not the worst deal in

13
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: the world. This is well, we'll go to the Bechtel Cast.

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: This is our show where we take your favorite movies

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: and analyze them using an intersection feminist lens, using the

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Bechdel test, which is I don't I bet neither. I've

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: had none of the Vanessa hudgens is. Know what this

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: damn test is? But what is it? Calin for the

19
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: sake of fullness and clarity, it is a media metric

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: created by queer cartoonists Alison Bechdel, sometimes called the Bechdel

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: Wallace test, and there are many variations, And here is ours.

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Two people of a marginalized gender have to have names,

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: they have to speak to each other, and their conversation

24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: has to be about something other than a man for

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: two lines of dialogue, and ideally that conversation is narratively significant.

26
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Make of that what you will? You know it when

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: you hear it. And in the case of this movie,

28
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: as you'll hear in the episode, Uh, you know, there's

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot of Vanessa hudgens Is talking to Vanessa hudgens Is.

30
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: It's not that big of a problem. There are three

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: many Vanessa hudgens Is and they're all talking to each other. Yeah.

32
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: And if you thought that my British accent I just

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: did was offensive, wait till you hear her. Hear her

34
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: as maybe you are just not gonna like it. Um,

35
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: So we're we're this this episode you're about to hear

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: it was recorded last year for our Patreon aka Matreon.

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: So you'll notice it's just me and Caitlin. We're keeping

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: it loose. We kind of let it all hang out

39
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: on the Matreon. I would say about eight of this

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: episode is just us recapping the movie that will happen.

41
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: We're discussing things throughout the recap, but the recap takes

42
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: a long time, and honestly, you're welcome. Yeah, it's it's

43
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: we go to the Matreon to really vibrate on a

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: different frequency where it's the format is technically the same,

45
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: and yet there is this, um, this wild, reckless abandoned

46
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: that you bring there. So if you are and if

47
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,639

52
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: month we're doing two of our most popular requests that,

53
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, we never got around too. Um. They're

54
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: both rom coms that It's You've Got Male, which we've

55
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: been getting really lovely feedback about. I've been very happy about. Yes,

56
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: yes we have. Yeah, not a brag person listening that

57
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: isn't a member of the matrio. Hut, we're so good

58
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: at our jobs. Wow, we really pulled one out this time.

59
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: And we're also doing How to Lose a Guy in

60
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Ten Days, which I canonically recognize as a Catherine Han vehicle,

61
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: although you know, maybe the poster is telling you a

62
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: different story. Fair fair. I see it as a Thomas

63
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Lennon piece myself, but oh my god, his outfit in

64
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: that movie. I'm like, who addressed this? Poor man? I

65
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: love Tomlin and why did they do that to him?

66
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: That's not nice. In any case, this is from the

67
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Matreon and we're doing this, you know, technically an observation

68
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: of it's not for many. Vanessa Hudgens is the problem.

69
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: There's still three of them, so it's kind of three

70
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: minute three many Vanessa Hudgens too, but it's separate the

71
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: switch to three Yes, which I believe is being released

72
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: on Netflix the very same day that this episode is

73
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: being unlocked from the Matreon and put on our main feed.

74
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: They really missed an opportunity to include more Vanessa Hudgens

75
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: is in this sequel. At some point, I'm like, I

76
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: wonder if she was, like I don't think so, because

77
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: there were I think we talked about it in this episode.

78
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: She's done interviews where she was like, oh, the next

79
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: one should be Scottish and it's like, well, let's look

80
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: at the accents you're already doing and maybe reassess. But

81
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm open to a fourth, uh, in so many ways,

82
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: but in in terms of Vanessa hudgens Is, I'm open

83
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: to a fourth for sure, but it's not happening. But however,

84
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: we will be covering The Princess Switched three on the Matreon,

85
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: speaking of the Matreon in December, So if you're loving

86
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: this and you're like, wow, I'm really on a journey,

87
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: you can go back to our Matreon to listen to

88
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: our very intellectual genius quite honestly thoughts on the Princess

Speaker 1: Switch one and then very soon on the Princess Switched three.

90
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: And if you like Netflix Christmas movies, we've also done

91
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: all three, all of the Christmas Princes, and that is

92
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: a burden we took on for you. So yeah, get ready,

93
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,520

00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: enjoy this unlocked Matreon episode The Princess which to enjoy cast.

96
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Hello matrons, Happy holiday. It's that time of year when

97
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: we cover terrible Netflix original Christmas movies. I forget. Did

98
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: we talk last year about the extended universe that Netflix

99
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: has confirmed. I don't. I meant to go back and

100
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: listen to the other Princess Switch and Christmas Prince movies

101
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: we've covered. I like, wanted to listen back to those

102
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: episodes and rewatch those movies, but I simply didn't have

103
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: time for any of it. I rewatched, watched all the

104
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: Princess Witches and all the Christmas Princes because I needed

105
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: an excuse to, of course. But did did you I

106
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think that we did. I didn't

107
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: listen to the real listen to the episodes. I don't

108
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: think we did talk last year about how all the

109
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: movies are confirmed happening in the same universe, which is

110
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: further depending how you look at it, either confirmed or

111
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: complicated by what happens in Princess Switch Switched again, because

112
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: it would seem that it contradicts. Okay, so this is

113
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: a matron. This is obviously the Bectel cast Matreon we're

114
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: doing Princess Switch to. I thought the movie was essentially

115
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: a delight. Well, sorry, first, we have to the full

116
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: the full title Princess Switched to three Money. Vanessa Hudgens

117
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: is three many Yeah, too many. Hudgens is is um

118
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: is the general vibe. I love that they just called

119
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: it switched again. The real titles the Princess Switch Switched Again,

120
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: which is um so lazy, so incredibly lazy. Uh. You

121
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: really almost admire it. I fully admire it. I'm like,

122
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: oh this this uh, this movie has no doubt of

123
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: what it is, which is extremely lazy, but but so okay.

124
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: So the Netflix Christmas Universe, which is a confirmed thing,

125
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: includes oh my god, there's literally a chart. Have you

126
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: seen this? Have you seen this chart? Okay, Okay, you

127
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: gotta see this chart. Okay. So it essentially connects the

128
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Christmas Prince uh saga series, yes, all the various Princess switches,

129
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: as well as The Night Before Christmas, which was Vanessa

130
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Hudgens's last year Christmas effort, yes, which we almost covered

131
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: and made a last minute switch well switched again. Uh.

132
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: Then there's also a movie called The Holiday Calendar from

133
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: that I haven't seen, a movie called Christmas Inheritance, from

134
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: which I unfortunately have seen, and a movie called Holiday

135
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: in the Wild, which I also have seen, and I'm

136
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: pretty sure is that the who's in that? It's like

137
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: it's actually like some famous people right Holiday in the Wild. Yeah,

138
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: isn't that the guy's name? Who was in Rob Blow?

139
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: Is that that one? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's the Christin

140
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: Davis Roblow? Yeah. Yeah, sorry, I've seen so many of these.

141
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, honestly, and the names are also familiar. They like,

142
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to confirm something I can't guarantee. Kristin

143
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Davis and Rob Blow. So that's a bigger budget one,

144
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: not very popular. I don't think really anybody necessarily watched it.

145
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: Not a lot of high Yeah. I skipped that one,

146
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: but it is. And then and then now this year

147
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: there was a movie called Operation Christmas Drop, which is

148
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: military propaganda that is Christmas. There's also The Christmas Chronicles,

149
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: which is, um, what's his face as Santa Claus? Yeah?

150
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: What is his face? And goldie hat? His face? What

151
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: is his face? I never Kurt Russell? Kurt Russell, Yeah, yeah,

152
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: Kurt Russell. I'm like, but like, also, okay, maybe this

153
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: is controversial, but like, who the fuck is Kurt Russell? Um?

154
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: What was he in that? I would know that you

155
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: would know, probably not a lot. Okay, See, he got

156
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: big in the eighties and then like a lot of

157
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: his most famous movies were from the eighties and nineties,

158
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: and I mean he's still around obviously, But also I

159
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: always get him confused with early Patrick Swayzy, and I

160
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: feel like there's someone else who I get him confused with. Two.

161
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure I haven't seen The Christmas Chronicles, but either way,

162
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: the Christmas Chronicles are a Netflix Christmas movie, but they're

163
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: not in the Netflix Christmas universe. I see so all

164
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: of the Netflix Christmas Universe. I'm pretty sure. I mean,

165
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: it's a vague qualifier, but I'm pretty sure that you

166
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: have to it has to be like a clear Hallmark

167
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: rip off, which Christmas Chronicles isn't. Uh. And then Jingle Jangle,

168
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: which I did see and it was pretty good for

169
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: us Forest whinnakers. In it, he's saying Christmas Chronicles was

170
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: not bad. I'm you know, it's whatever. It's you know,

171
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: kind of like a turn your brain off and hope

172
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: for the best season movie wise. But Jingle Jangle, I

173
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: had had some catchy tunes, some real catchy tunes, but

174
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: it's not but it's not included in this universe. It's

175
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: I think this is like the overly romantic, confusing Hallmark

176
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: rip off Extended Universe that's occasionally nationalist propaganda in the

177
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: case of Operation Christmas Drop. Um. So, anyways, last year

178
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: Netflix confirmed the Netflix Holiday Movie Universe is the official title.

179
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: And I'll just unpack this chart and then we'll get

180
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: to before we start talking about Princess, which switched again.

181
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: How Princess switch switched again is maybe the most integral

182
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: piece to this puzzle yet. So okay, it's like the

183
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: keystone that holds the whole arch together. And maybe I

184
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: mean I haven't I bear I was like only half

185
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: watching Holiday in the Wild, and I haven't seen the

186
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Holiday Calendar, but it seems like it connects a lot

187
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: of movies together in ways that are exclusively confusing. So

188
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: here's here's an overview of the chart. We'll we'll link this.

189
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: It's like a tweet from Netflix. So it starts with

190
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: the Christmas Prince seen gets everything started. And I think

191
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: these are all basically made by the same production company,

192
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: which doesn't hurt um. So a Christmas Prince is shown

193
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: on a TV in both the Holiday calendar and it's

194
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: also if you recall Vanessa Hudgens watches Chris the Christmas

195
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: Prince in the first Princess Switch. So as ofen when

196
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: the Princess Okay, I'm like literally sound like that. Um

197
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: it's always sunny meme with the board okay, um. So

198
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: as the Princess Switch, A Christmas Prince is a movie

199
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: that exists in the world of the Princess Switch on Netflix.

200
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: It was like a product placement moment. We were like,

201
00:12:52,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: t he okay, Aldovia from A Christmas Prince, the fictional country.

202
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: I'm familiar. Just there's five trillion countries that border Lithuania apparently,

203
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: and Aldovia is one of them. Whatever the Princess Switch

204
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: countries are anyways, Aldovia is mentioned in The Night Before Christmas.

205
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: So in the Night Before Christmas World, Aldovia is an

206
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: actual place, but in a Princess Switch the Princess Switch world,

207
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: it is not a real place. It's a Netflix movie.

208
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: It's a fictional place where a movie the Vanessa Hudgens

209
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: watches takes place. Make it makes sense, Um, okay. Christmas

210
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: Inheritance A Christmas Inheritance is shown on a TV in

211
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: both the holiday calendar and in the Princess Switch. Holiday

212
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: in the Wild is shown on a TV in the

213
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: Night before Christmas, so in the Night before Christmas, a

214
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: Christmas Prince is a real thing in the world. But

215
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Holiday in the Wild with Christi David's and Reblo, that's

216
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: still fictional and on Netflix. And then apparently I don't

217
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: remember that because by the time, honestly, the last in

218
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: this marathon, the last movie I watched was Christmas Prince

219
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: Royal Baby, and I was just my brain was skunked,

220
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: so I wasn't looking for this reference. But apparently the

221
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: Princess Switched, the country from the Princess Switch is referenced

222
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: in the third Christmas Prince movie. So now things get

223
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: a little complicated because we were told in twenty eighteen

224
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: that A Christmas Prince is just a Netflix movie. But

225
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: then over in Aldovia, the Princess Switch country is Cannon,

226
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: so because it's bell Belgravia and or Montenaro, because those

227
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: are like the two countries in Princess Switch. Right right,

228
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep mixing up the names. So bell Gravya,

229
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: I believe, is mentioned in A Christmas Prince Royal Baby.

230
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: But at that point, as of last year. A Christmas

231
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Prince Aldovia is fictional to Vanessa Hudgens, But Vanessa Hudgens

232
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: is very real too, Amber and who are they that

233
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: guy Richard Richard Um, So that's confusing, and then things

234
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: get even more confusing. So basically it seems like they

235
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't have put Christmas princes on TV in the Princess

236
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Switch because now they wanted to all be real. Because

237
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: at the end of fucking my Princess Switch switched again,

238
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Princess Switch switched again, Amber and Richard are at the

239
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: coronation for what's her name, Margaret A few things about that.

240
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: When they popped up on Princess Switch with their royal

241
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: baby ugly, I meant royal. Um. When that happened in

242
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: Princess Switch to Switched Again, I was in my apartment

243
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: by myself, and I screamed. I was like, yes, tie too, shrieked.

244
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: It was like hold on, and then I had to

245
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: go back to the chart, like it how could that

246
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: be true if we were and um, I don't know.

247
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how that could be true. I have

248
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: a theory. Okay, yes, the movie that Vanessa Hudgens is

249
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: watching in the first Princess s Witch movie that is

250
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: about Amber and Richard's actually a Documentary's watching a documentary? Okay,

251
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: got it? Yeah, grape minds think alike. Yeah, I think

252
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: that she just must have been watching, like maybe it

253
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: was like a sixty minutes special or just like a

254
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: poorly produced I thought that too, But then I went

255
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: back and watched the scene from Princess Switch and I'm like, no,

256
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: she literally had Vanessa Hudgens has the same Netflix as

257
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: you or I, and it's presented the same way, and

258
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: she literally watches a scene from Our Christmas Prince and

259
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: so too. I'm like, reporting instincts, and so if A

260
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: Christmas Prince is documentary, so okay, if A Christmas Into

261
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: is a documentary for Vanessa Hudgens, then it's also a

262
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: documentary for us. And that could be true. That could

263
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: very well be true. I think that they're just and

264
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: someone I wanted to shout out a tweet that made

265
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: me laugh so much from Ica delian Um. From at

266
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: delian ica Um, she tweeted, oh my god, Vanessa Hudgens

267
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: is the Robert Downey Jr. Of the Netflix Christmas Cinematic universe,

268
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: and it's true because of iron Man, because like iron

269
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: Man kicked everything off, and is I know no, well,

270
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: I well know, because Vanessa Hudgens didn't kick everything off.

271
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: But I think we can all agree she has more,

272
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, she has she has a little more charisma

273
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: than the Princess Ambert and all offense. Um. But then, okay,

274
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: other things we need to talk about before we talked

275
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: about the movie. Okay, sorry, I'm like too prepared for

276
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: this episode. Uh, really down in the dumps and really

277
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: needed this. Um. Hey. So the other thing is I

278
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: feel like we should do a Vanessa Hudgens update because

279
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: she has had a very problematic, tumultuous a few years really,

280
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: but like especially she We're not going to get too

281
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: into it here. Uh, but she did. If you remember,

282
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: about nine months ago, she famously went live on Instagram

283
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: and said a whole bunch of insensitive things about coronavirus

284
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: and was basically the gist of it was Vanessa Hudgens

285
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: has no regard for human life, which was upsetting then.

286
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: And I honestly, it has been such a year that

287
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot and then I was like, wait,

288
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: we're mad at Vanessa Hudgens, what did she do again?

289
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, she said she literally has

290
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: no regard for human life. So that's something to keep

291
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: in mind. Yes, that said Robert Downey Jr. You know,

292
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: has also done some pretty messed up stuff in his life,

293
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: so maybe that's the connection. They don't have a regret.

294
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that much about Robert Jr. I just

295
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: wanted to, um, you know, we are aware that Vanessa

296
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: Hudgens is problematic and also just like a weird person,

297
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: Like she will like pop up in my trending topics

298
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: every once in a while, and it's always just like

299
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: I just don't understand, Like why can't celebrities just like

300
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: log out? Like Vanessa Hudgens has more money than God,

301
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: Like she has a million a million year deal signed

302
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: in blood with Netflix, Like why can't she just like

303
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: not go live on Instagram. That will never make sense

304
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: to me because she just is always live on Instagram

305
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: doing in that one case very like stream of consciousness,

306
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: insensitive rant and then in other cases she's just doing

307
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: weird stuff. And you're just like Vanessa, like call your

308
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: like friend or something, call Zack, Like I don't know

309
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: what you need to do, but like, I want no

310
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: part of this. So Vanessa Hudgens is an firmed, questionable

311
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: weirdo is my is my take on the age. But

312
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: then so, so we're going into Prince just to set

313
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: up the mindset of where we're going into Princess Switched

314
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: to Switched again. I have to suspend my upset with

315
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Vanessa Hudgens because I do have to watch this movie,

316
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: not just because this is our job, but also because

317
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: I just like, I have to watch this movie. It's

318
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: I have to know what happens. And Princess switched to

319
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: Switch it again, I understand. And I have to know

320
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: what the third Vanessa Hudgins is like. And I loved

321
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: the third Vanessa Hudgens. Oh my gosh, she's so awesome.

322
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: I love her. She's a sloppy bitch and I love her.

323
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: That was Okay, that was all of my pre curs

324
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: started talking about. Okay, I'm gonna shut up for the

325
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: rest of the episode because that was a lot. But oh,

326
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: and then also there's some connection in the third one

327
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: to like, oh, I guess there's four shots. I missed

328
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: this on my watch of the movie. But per the

329
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: clickbait rounds that happened every year around these movies a

330
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: grand tradition. There is a slight possible, maybe sort of

331
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: hint that there's going to be I mean, of course

332
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: there's going to be a movie with a fourth Vanessa Hudgens.

333
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: I have a pitch for it that I'll reveal at

334
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: some point in this episode. Hell, yes, I did a

335
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: little bit of recessor this is so embarrassing, Um, there

336
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: was there. Vanessa Hudgens has been very like dodgy about

337
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: whether there's going to be a third or a third

338
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: one with a fourth Vanessa Hudgens. That's never gonna get easier.

339
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: She's been dodgy about that. Um. But then she said

340
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: in like an interview, She's like, I don't know, but

341
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: maybe the next Vanessa Hudgens will have a Scottish accent.

342
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: And everyone's like, what that's weird. Um, it's confident Vanessa

343
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: Hudgens can pull off. She do three accents, which includes

344
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: one that is just her regular speaking voice. Um, she

345
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: can barely talk. Um okay, so, but but I think

346
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: it's it's been hinted at at some point in this

347
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Princess which that the fourth Vanessa Hudgens is going to

348
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: be her character from A Night Before Christmas, therefore tying

349
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: in that whole thing, which would be kind of genius. Yes,

350
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have even occurred to me to do that,

351
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: but that's also the perfect choice to make. There's already

352
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: a fourth Vanessa Hudgens on the table, and she already

353
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: has experience kissing a Royal night royal figure Corport pattents

354
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: and look alike. She already has been making out with

355
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: this Robert Pattinson impersonator for you know, two years, yes,

356
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: on screen, so she she has the experience. That character

357
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: is ripe to be a part of this franchise. Was

358
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: that character's name? Was it like Brooke that I'm just

359
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: spitballing here. I don't remember. I watched that movie last

360
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: year when it got released. The only thing I remember

361
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: about it is there is a plot which and then

362
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: there is like random time travel and there's this like

363
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: fish out of water like Middle Ages night who shows up?

364
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't I I did not enjoy that.

365
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: That one wasn't my favorite, which is weird because it's

366
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: on Rotten Tomatoes. It's one of the highest rate of

367
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: Netflix Christmas movies. I like it has a lot of

368
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: the elements for a movie that I enjoy with, like

369
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: the time travel and the Fish out of Water and that,

370
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: but like I just didn't addn't know the some of

371
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: its parts. Yeah, I just didn't add up to anything

372
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: that I thought was great. Also, and her name was Brooke. Wow, Wow,

373
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: good memory. That was a total mistake. There was also

374
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: um someone was mentioning I'll link. I've read so many pieces,

375
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like I can't really distinguish one writer from another.

376
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: But someone mentioned in their piece from this year that

377
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: this production company, which is called MPC A that produces

378
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: most of these movies, they must have some connection to Chicago,

379
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: because all of these movies are vaguely related to Chicago,

380
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Like there's always someone is from Chicago. And then do

381
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: you remember in the first Christmas Prince movie there's an

382
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: establishing shot of Chicago, but then they're in New York,

383
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: like there's they're obsessed with Chicago. They show the Chicago

384
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: River and then there and then it was like pizza

385
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: Like You're like I'm walking here. You're like, that's not Chicago.

386
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: Also doesn't doesn't the company name stand for something like

387
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: motion Picture Company of America, something so generic and Corporation

388
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: of America, just like you, is a fake company. The

389
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: history of this company is also very weird. Okay, so

390
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: they were. It was established in the year I was born.

391
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, brave Um. Good luck topping this incredible life

392
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: that the Motion Picture Corporation of America's who who did

393
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: it better? They did? Who did life Better? Founded in

394
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: n much like caitlin Um, they made a bunch of

395
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: crappy movies that didn't do well, and then they made

396
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: Dumb and Dumber and so that's no good. Uh. And

397
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: then they were acquired and then fifteen years passes, and

398
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: then they made Beverly Hills Chihuahua too, and then they

399
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: started making Netflix Christmas movies and that's that's their life.

400
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: Wild really make it makes sense? I I don't know.

401
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: I might be missing other stuff, but I just don't care.

402
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: But either way, they're obsessed with establishing shots of Chicago,

403
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: mentions of Chicago, even though the company is based in

404
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Century City in Los Angeles, So I don't know. Confusing

405
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: who cares? Much like the plot of this movie, should

406
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: I recap it? Good transition? Yes? Thank you, Actually, we're

407
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: going to take a quick break first, and then we

408
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: will come right back, and we're back alright. So I'm

409
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: just gonna have to assume that you, the listeners, have

410
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: watched the first movie or at least listen to our

411
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: episode on it, or have some understanding of what happens

412
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: in the first movie, because what happens in the second movie,

413
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: you have to have an understanding of the first movie.

414
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna operate on that assumption that you're familiar. So, Stacy,

415
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: who is the Vanessa Hudgens from Chicago who's a former baker,

416
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: is married to Prince Edward, the most boring person, someone

417
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: who makes King Richard looked like a fucking like interesting person,

418
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: the most boring person ever committed to screen. I have

419
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: more notes about him than I thought I would for

420
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: this movie, but I do have a few things to

421
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: say when we get there. But yes, he's so he

422
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: he feel bad almost, Yeah, I don't say I almost

423
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: feel bad for him because of just like how he's

424
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: treated in this movie and just like because his wife

425
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: clearly doesn't love him very much. Like it's like, I

426
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: don't I think that like Prince Edward needs to like

427
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: wake up and smell the coffee. I don't think Vanessa

428
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: loves him as much as he thinks she does and

429
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: smells the coco Kevin insists on making all the time.

430
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: Kevin's a whole other thing like that, but Prince Edward,

431
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: especially like he's so whatever that I felt bad for him.

432
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, you need to find the world's most boring

433
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: person and marry them, because like, I'm not feeling it

434
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: with you in Vanessa, I'm just not I have no chemistry.

435
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: She's trying to get away from him all the time,

436
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: and he's like, I love you hang out with me,

437
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: and she's like, I can't hear you, la la la.

438
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't like that. So mean, and also like just

439
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: don't want to marry him. There's one scene where like

440
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: he's clearly trying to have sex with her because she's

441
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: like blah blah blah, I'm distracted or something, I'm stressed

442
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: out or something, and he's like, well, I know something

443
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: we could do to take your mind off it, and

444
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: then she's like, no, I'm too busy trying to get

445
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: my look alike to have sex with my best friend Kevin.

446
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: And she would rather like she would rather fly to

447
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: Chicago from belgrave A than spend a day with her husband.

448
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: And and also it's so set like that beginning they

449
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: that scene, that same scene where she's like avoiding him,

450
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: but it's in this way that I'm like, it's they're

451
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: making it sound like she literally can't hear what he's saying, yes,

452
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: which is just it's just confusing the way it's written.

453
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: But he like they're both at the beginning of the scene,

454
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we're so busy, and we're like with

455
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: what And then later Prince Edward says literally says like,

456
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not actually that busy. I just say I'm busy,

457
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: so that because I feel bad because my wife is busy,

458
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't think she's busy. I don't

459
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: think she's busy. And she's just trying to everything and

460
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: go to Chicago to like do do something that her

461
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: friends don't want do this weird matchmaking thing. Yeah, they

462
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: have to get divorced, like that marriage is no good anyway.

463
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: They live in Belgravia together, which is apparently adjacent to

464
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: Montenaro and Aldovia. And let's throw Genovia from from Princess

465
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: to say, where does Genovia come into the mix? What's

466
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: a movie called Princess Princess airis Diaries? Diaries? Too many

467
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: princess movies. Okay, so that's Stacy. Her look alike, also

468
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: played by Vanessa Hudgens, of course, is Princess Margaret, who

469
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: is the person she switched places with in the first movie.

470
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: And in the first movie, Margaret fell in love with

471
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: Stacy's best friend, Kevin. But between the first and second movie,

472
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: Kevin and Margaret have broken up. I so that's important

473
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: to know. So fucking frustrating here because we had to

474
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: spend a lot of the first movie rooting for Margaret

475
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: and Kevin to get together, and then we just have

476
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: We're expected to just do the exact same thing for

477
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: the whole second movie. I'm like, I guess what, I'm

478
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: not rooting. I don't care. I'm not really efficient. No

479
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: one's rooting for them. I'm just like, Kevin deserves better,

480
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Margaret like they're just not. It's not I don't dis well,

481
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: I kind of just like Margaret. I like Kevin, but

482
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: I also think that he really, um is not very

483
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: respectful of boundaries. That's a whole other thing. I just

484
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wish them both the best, separately, clearly

485
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: together as a no go. They broke up. They broke

486
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: up for a reason. I like Kevin. I don't like

487
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: Margaret for Kevin. I think that Margaret and Prince Edward,

488
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: who I both find to be really boring and brand,

489
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: should have gotten together. Wouldn't the Royal family have been

490
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: happier if they had just done that. I'm like, Okay,

491
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: just get the two boring people married. Yeah, they're already

492
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 1: both Royals, they understand the lifestyle. Stacy's clearly obsessed with Kevin,

493
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: like that should have looked up. I guess that's the

494
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: thing is, I was never really rooting for the couples

495
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: that they clearly want you to root for in the

496
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: first movie. I wanted the ones that they were pushing,

497
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: which was Stacy, Kevin and Edward Margaret. I'm like, yeah,

498
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: that makes way more sense to me. Stacy's still obsessed

499
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: with who Kevin's having sex with and needs it to

500
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: be someone who looks like her. Like that's projecting. That's

501
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: literally like, look in the mirror, is Stacy talked to

502
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: your therapist? Stacy? I it's so frustrating. They're also the

503
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: whole thing with Margaret in this movie I'm Margaret is

504
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree, so so so so boring, And I

505
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: feel like you could have done something way more interesting

506
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: with her by even like borrowing plot points from a

507
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: Christmas Prince, because a Christmas prinds well really bad at

508
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: least like Amber when she's like becoming a queen, has

509
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: like you learned about her trials and tribulations in the castle,

510
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: and like people don't take her seriously and she has

511
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: to like you know, fight for herself. In her stay

512
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: tuned to Our Christmas Prince Too episode coming out later

513
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: this month, she doesn't investigate a reporting like she at

514
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: least like it's all super pointless and like makes no sense,

515
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: but at least it's like, oh, you see, she's like

516
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: fighting for herself, whereas Margaret. I would have rather have

517
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: seen Margaret, like they referenced that she's having a tough

518
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: time adjusting, but you don't see it ever. You like

519
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: you just see her apologize to Kevin to be like sorry,

520
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: I was sorry. I I have to do this thing

521
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: called being the queen of a country, so I can't

522
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: hang out with you at two pm on a week

523
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: day like, obviously she can't. Kevin's The other weird thing

524
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: happens where in the first Princess Switch movie, the reason

525
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: they switch places is because Margaret like doesn't really want

526
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: to be a royal. She like doesn't like the lifestyle.

527
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: She doesn't like to be in the public spotlight, and

528
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: that's the whole reason they switched. But then suddenly in

529
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: the second movie, she's like, I was born to do this.

530
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: I freaking love being a queen. She's a plot queen.

531
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: But then she also still doesn't seem committed to like

532
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: she doesn't seem like she wants to do it still. Also, Okay,

533
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: here's a question I had that I was I told

534
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: myself I had to pay attention during the first Princess

535
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: Switch when I rewatched it that I was like, did

536
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: her father die? Like who was the king? Was the

537
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: king her father from Margaret? Yeah? And then her because

538
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: they said, like the king died, the brother abdicated, and

539
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: then so now Margaret is going to be the sovereign.

540
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: Does that mean her father died and we just didn't

541
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: didn't talk about it her father. That's what they mentioned

542
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: in the opening montage of Princess Switched to right but

543
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: they don't. But we don't see her deal with her

544
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: father died very very recently. That's a huge thing to happen,

545
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: Like we I don't think we were told by the

546
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: movie they had a bad relationship. So you have to

547
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: imagine she just lost a parent and is not at

548
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: all affected by it, right, She's the only thing is

549
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: like she put a tarp over a Christmas tree and

550
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: she's like, this is how I grieve, and like, well,

551
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: there's no wrong way to grieve, Margaret, but like it

552
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: just is weird that they don't bring it up. And

553
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: then also, I mean, also I've been watching The Crown,

554
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: so they're with me here. But like, an abdication of

555
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: the throne is a big fucking deal. Like people would

556
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: be talking about the fact that the like where is

557
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: her brother at, Like that's another plotline from Margaret. I

558
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: would have been way more interested in as her struggle

559
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: with her brother, being like, well, why the fund did

560
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: you abdicate? You know, I didn't want to be queen

561
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: and he's like I didn't want to be king, Like

562
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: we hate being royals. Like it would have been so

563
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: more interesting. Okay, another separate pitch than the one I

564
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: was originally going to pitch for the next Princess Switch movie.

565
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: What if her brother shows up but it's also played

566
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: by Vanessa Hudgens genius, or her brother shows up and

567
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: he's and it's Kevin, when it's a second Kevin, and

568
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: then they're like, they're like, oh my god, wait, her

569
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: brother looks just like her ex boyfriend. How did we

570
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: not know that? And then and then it becomes a

571
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: whole too gross. Yeah, that's actually nasty. But either way,

572
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: there are so many directions because Margaret is canonically boring

573
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: as a hell, like, give her something interesting to do,

574
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: so at least we're watching a boring pers and do

575
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: interesting things. That's why a Christmas Prince works. Amber is boring,

576
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: but she does things that are interesting, so it's sort

577
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: of like you're like, man, this is kind of interesting. Um,

578
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: but Margaret is boring, and all the things that are

579
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: interesting about what's happening in her life are not talked

580
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: about at all. I truly like, correct me in the

581
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: comments if I'm wrong, But it seems like she just

582
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: lost If not her father, a very close family member,

583
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: there would have been a huge political like reckoning if

584
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: someone abdicated from the throne. It would just be like

585
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: this should have been seasoned one of the crown for Margaret. Yeah, Instead,

586
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: the only thing we get is like a couple shots

587
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: of what looks like tabloids, like not even like prestige journalism,

588
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: just like headlines of being like is Margaret ready to

589
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: be queen? Seems like she's a mess and it's but

590
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: then she's not dealing with that either, like don't you

591
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: know she's being scrutinized by the tabloids and she doesn't

592
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: care even though Margaret is boring, boring, boring, and every

593
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: time she's on screen, I'm like, oh my god, Margaret,

594
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: Like they could have done something interesting with her in

595
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways, and then instead they were like, hm,

596
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: what if we just repeated the exact her exact plot

597
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: line from the first movie, like why you know why? Sorry?

598
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: I was just I wrote down at the beginning like

599
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 1: the top of my nose, and like, Margaret's father died,

600
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: why aren't we talking about this? That's even in like

601
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: a corny movie kind of way of like this is

602
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: what he would have wanted or you know, like that

603
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: kind of corny state. But no, sadly, no, um all right,

604
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: where were we? Okay? So she goes to visit Kevin

605
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: and his daughter Olivia in Chicago, and a different actor

606
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: from the last movie. I thought, so yes, I was like,

607
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: I but I didn't rewatch the first movie, so I

608
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: wasn't sure, but I had a feeling that they recast her. Okay,

609
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: So Stacy invites them to Margaret's coronation ceremony because she

610
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: is about to become Queen of Montenaro, and Kevin reluctantly agrees,

611
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: and then they all show up at Margaret's palace and

612
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: then they all decorate it together. Margaret and Kevin start

613
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: flirting by throwing flower on each other. The flower fight

614
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: is so the flower fight. I'm like, okay, fine, fine, fine. Also,

615
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious on how you feel about I feel like

616
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: Kevin really should have like not let himself get steamrolled

617
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: by Princess Stacy when Princess Stacy rolls in, and also

618
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: like she's not a good friend to him because she

619
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: is like mocking him in front of his child, like Olivia.

620
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: I also feel back to Olivia because Olivia should not

621
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: be brought into this so much. Like first of all,

622
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: the trope of like a child who's obsessed with their

623
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: parents romantic life for kind of no reason. When has

624
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: it ever been a thing in all of these movies?

625
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: That's just cannon whatever, that's a movie trope that is

626
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: just like it's neither here nor there. It's just kind

627
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: of creepy and weird. But whatever, it's a plot device.

628
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: But when Vanessa shows up unannounced and it's like, look

629
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: at you wearing wet pants. You make me sick and

630
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: you better come to Bell Gravy at like, he should

631
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: have just been like no, like he shouldn't have done it.

632
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: He should have called Margaret and been like, hey, Stacy

633
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: is being a fucking bully because she's like obsessed with

634
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: us being together for question mark reason? Is it okay

635
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: if I come? Like another interesting if we have to

636
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: have Kevin and Bell Gravya for this movie to happen,

637
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: then when he shows up, why couldn't Margaret be like

638
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: mad it's Stacy? Like there that was another thing where

639
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: there's just like no conflict between Margaret and Stacy at

640
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: any time when it seems like there it would be

641
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: very justifiable, like Stacy is getting so into other people's

642
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: businesses and no one gets mad at her I would

643
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: be so mad at her if she cooked my ex

644
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: to Montenaro three nights before my coronation, I'd be like, Stacy,

645
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: stay out of it, like your your marriage is over

646
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: there with Mr Boring. So like, there's so little conflict

647
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: between them, to the point where during the part of

648
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: the movie, and we'll get to this, but when they've

649
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: switched again since the subtitle of the movie, and we're

650
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: also very low stakes reason, like the reason they switch

651
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: is so so confused about why they switch. I have

652
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: so many thoughts and questions and notes about that. Thanks,

653
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: there's a yeah, there's a little twist where a third

654
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: Vanessa is present and she also has done a switch.

655
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: So there's so little conflict between Margaret and Stacy that

656
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: when Margaret goes back to who she thinks is Stacy

657
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: and tries to switch back, except that who she thinks

658
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 1: is Stacy is actually cousin Fiona. We'll explain that whole thing.

659
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: Whenever this Fiona person is like, get the hell out

660
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: of here, Margaret's just like, okay, I sure, even though

661
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: Fiona is occupying her bedroom like that, Like Margaret gets

662
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: sent away from her own bedroom and she's just like okay, honestly,

663
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: that was that was iconic, Like that was like, so

664
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: I was thinking that too. But then I was like, Okay,

665
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: first of all, Fiona is amazing, but I was kind

666
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: of like the most compelling thing was I was rooting

667
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: for her to successfully take the throw over market because

668
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: I like, at least she wants it. At least she

669
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: wants to do it, like, yeah, just let her do

670
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: it whatever. But and she's also the only good Vanessa

671
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: in this one. But that was so like bully older

672
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: cousin move for Fiona to like gaslight Margaret so hard.

673
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: She's like, I guess I'm not myself. I guess I

674
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: am leaving the room. I was like, Margaret, we need to,

675
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: like every Stacy and Margaret need to like go to

676
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: some self esteem workshops because they're just like struggling. Um, yeah,

677
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I I was also kind of like, I

678
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: was really baffled by the lack of conflict between Stacy

679
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: and Margaret at all. I felt like it worked against

680
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: the plot. It would have been the way it would

681
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: have helped the like switch level confusion. It would have

682
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: been interesting if like Margaret was like, oh, maybe Stacy's

683
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: not who I thought she was instead of immediately being

684
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: like Stacy would never do this? Who is the third Vanessa?

685
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm not like rooting for It's it's it's I

686
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like one of those things where these

687
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: movies are so bad it's almost like, well, what kind

688
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: of yardstick is this? But sometimes I feel like people

689
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: think they're making a feminist choice by like having two

690
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: female characters have zero conflict, when it's like, no, just

691
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: treat them equally. Don't like make the reason that there's

692
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: a conflict be extremely gendered and irrational. There's a very

693
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: there's a very like I feel like, a very obvious

694
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 1: reason why they would be in conflict at multiple points

695
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: in this movie, but it just never happens. They're like, nope, besties,

696
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: I let myself get pushed around by Stacy for no reason,

697
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: like right, yeah, like Margaret could be like stop meddling

698
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: in my love life and yeah I should go to

699
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: therapy like get like Stacey. Yeah, I'm just like none

700
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: of the Vanessa's are are okay, Um, but the third

701
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: Vanessa is amazing and we're about to get to her,

702
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: so okay, yes, but before we do, um, so we

703
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: see Kevin and Margaret start to kind of like flirt again.

704
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: It's but but then we meet Antonio, who is Margaret's

705
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: chief of staff, and he is in love with Margaret

706
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: and he's like, you're great, I'm so happy to be

707
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: serving you. Blah blah blah blah blah, unnecessary, get rid

708
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: of it. But also he looked like British Jared Kushner

709
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: like he I was like, Anto, what is going on

710
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: with Antonio? He is clearly bad news, just by the

711
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: way he's like, He's the only person in this movie

712
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm convinced is actually British. Also, like with the scenes

713
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: with the henchman, I'm like, are none of these people?

714
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: I didn't look it up, but I'm like, it seems

715
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: like no one is British. I tried to look up

716
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: the two people who play Mindy and Reggie FA's henchman.

717
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: There's there. They're off the grid. I just couldn't find

718
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: anything about them. I don't know, especially the male henchman.

719
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't His accent was so over

720
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: the top that I'm like, it sounds like he's doing

721
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: the same thing Vanessa is. I don't know. And then

722
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 1: the hench the hench person that looked like Sar Sharon

723
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: In was just distracting because she looked so much like

724
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: Sar Sharonin. Um. I will say that Reggie, the one Henchman,

725
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: is the best character of the film. He but I

726
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,479
Speaker 1: don't think he's British. Did you ever watch The Only

727
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: Way Is Essex or any of those like trashy British

728
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: like Jersey Shore, except like British. No, I haven't. Oh

729
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: my gosh, they're terrible shows. They're amazing because there's another

730
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: one called like Jordy Shore. I think, um that one.

731
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that one. I think is maybe even

732
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: more trashy than The Only Way Is Essex. But I've

733
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: only seen that one anyway. I used to watch them

734
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: with my friend British Martha. But the two characters who

735
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: are the two hench people, Reggie and Mindy, especially Reggie,

736
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: feel to me like actors who would be in a

737
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: very trashy British reality show like The Only Way Is Essex.

738
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he is Britain. Maybe my my view of Britain

739
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: the UK as to myopic and I just don't know. Well,

740
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: they have way more like kind of working class British accents,

741
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: so maybe that's I don't know. To our British listeners,

742
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: could you shed some light these actors are British. Uh

743
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: believe your answers in the comments. I genuinely I could

744
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: be totally off here, but I think it's I was

745
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: also thrown by how clearly fake Vaness's British accent is.

746
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: Maybe they are British and they're just trying to match

747
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: her so that they all like there could be a

748
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: lot of things going on here. Either way. The best

749
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 1: chemistry in the movie as between Vanessa and the Hene people,

750
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: bar none, best, incredible, perfect. Okay, so we've met Antonio,

751
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: he's in love with Margaret. Then there's this ball, because

752
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: there's of course like five Christmas events. There's a concert,

753
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: there's a ball, there's a coordination, there's an airport wedding.

754
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: Can't wait to get to that. But at the ball

755
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: we meet a third Vanessa Hudgens. She is blonde. She

756
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: is part of the royal family because she is cousins

757
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: with Margaret, but she's like not in the line of

758
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: succession for queen or something like that. But her name

759
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: is Fiona Pembroke. I just confirmed that Reggie is British.

760
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: He's a British soap opera actor. Oh wow, I had

761
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: a feeling he might have been authentically British. He is British,

762
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: and he's and he knows how to do camp. He's

763
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: a he's a goddamn soap character. So there you go.

764
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: Incredible friends, all right. Anyways, So Fiona Pembroke, she's an

765
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: incredible character. She and Reggie to me or like tied

766
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: for first place best character. That scene where Reggie steal

767
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: really aggressively steals a wallet from someone, like it was

768
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: my I rewatched that show three times. I'm like, oh

769
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: my god, what a bold move. Because she which What

770
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: Fiona does is she brings her hinge people who love

771
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: to take pictures against um, what do you call them?

772
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: Those backgrounds, those photo backgrounds, um Stepan repeats, um. But

773
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: she has her hench people just like pick pockets at

774
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: public events so that she can maintain her lifestyle. It's

775
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: a really bad plan, but it was fun. It was

776
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: fun to watch Reggie just pick pocketing everybody. It was great.

777
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: He's not good at it. And then no later when

778
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: they're like huddled together in what appears to be just

779
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: a completely empty dark castle, the Pembroke Estate. Uh, They're

780
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: like they can't even they can't even keep the lights

781
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: on there. They haven't stolen enough. Wallet's like they're like

782
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: unloading their hall of the stuff they have stolen that

783
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: evening at this ball and this movie is comedy gold,

784
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: especially in this scene because one of them has stolen

785
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: a roll of toilet paper and she's like in in

786
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: Fiona Vanessa Hudgens is like, this isn't gonna help pay

787
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: for our summer in whatever place that we're gonna go.

788
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: He's like, but it's double play, and she's like, I

789
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: don't care, and he's like, don't you understand it's double play?

790
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is the best joke I've ever

791
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: seen in a movie. It's not my favorite joke, I

792
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: guess at the end of my sentence, but I did.

793
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: I did think this movie was genuinely like I don't know.

794
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all these movies are slightly They're enjoyable

795
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: to me in slightly different ways and then also not

796
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: enjoyable at all. But I feel like part of what

797
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: makes A Christmas Prints funny is that it doesn't seem

798
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: to re alize that it's funny. But the Princess Switch

799
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: movies are being funny on purpose, and I'm kind of laughing.

800
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: So I'm laughing quite a bit. And and and it

801
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: was written by two women, Robin bernheim Berger and Megan Metzker.

802
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: So there, that's why it's a feminist text, just getting

803
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: women in comedy. You love to see it hilarious. I

804
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 1: did laugh at several points in this movie. Oh wait, no, wait, yes, yes, okay,

805
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: now at that same ball Okay, I wanted to know

806
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: if you I was. I wanted to text you about it,

807
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: but then I'm like, no, I'm going to save it

808
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: for the pod. There's I watched it with Isaac and

809
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: there was like a scene where I'm like, huh, Kevin

810
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: and Margaret. Kevin like cuts in with Antonio and it's

811
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: like I have a dance with blah blah blah because

812
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: he's like Mr smooth cool Chicago Baker whatever, right, he

813
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: had Margaret are dancing, and then at one point they

814
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: stopped dancing and start just inning around in a circle.

815
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: Did you notice that that I didn't. I rewatched the

816
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: scene like four times because they start out dancing, everyone

817
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: is slow dance like whatever. It's all vaguely royal, and

818
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: you're like, I know what this scene is. And then

819
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 1: at some point they stopped doing the dancing, and then

820
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: they just have their hands on each other's shoulders and

821
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: they're continuing to talk and they're turning just in a circle.

822
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, honestly, I'm going to get the time code

823
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: so I can just like explain to you like it

824
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: was continue, but I'm gonna stop and just show you

825
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, because I can hear what I

826
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: sound like right now. But I swear to God, Jamie,

827
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: I believe you. I swear to God. They just start

828
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: turning in a circle, and it's so okay, amazing. Sorry, um,

829
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: let's take another quick break and then we will be

830
00:51:52,440 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, okay. So then Antonio professes

831
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: his feelings for Margaret outright, and then he tells Kevin

832
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: that Kevin is getting in the way of Margaret's happiness,

833
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: which Kevin's daughter Olivia overhears. So then she goes to

834
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: Stacy Margaret out of school anytime. Her dad's horny, like

835
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: what is this? What's going on? Right? And it's like

836
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: maybe it's her like holiday break from school. I don't know,

837
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: I don't know how long they're there for. I'm going

838
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: to need that specified because I'm like, we need Olivia

839
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: in school, we need her like less in Belgravia with

840
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: her dad's ex like involving her on Kevin's end first,

841
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: I know for the movie it makes sense, been involving

842
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: her on Kevin's end is so irresponsible. Your child should

843
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: not be involved in your love life to this extent,

844
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: Like your child should not be coming with you on

845
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: like Operation Get Her Back. Like that's just not that's

846
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: bad parenting. It would be. It would be one thing

847
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: if within the context of a movie, there was like

848
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 1: a stronger motivation established for her, if she was like,

849
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: I want to be a princess. That's why I have

850
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: such a vested interest in, like my dad marrying this

851
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: queen to be. But there's absolutely no motivation established for

852
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: her whatsoever. So it just feels weird and creepy, creepier

853
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: than it already is. And it's not like it's not

854
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: like she's like, oh, Margaret has such an amazing personality,

855
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: Like we know that's not true. Um, how should I

856
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: do this? So I just show you my computer screen?

857
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: I have it already, Um, just let me know the

858
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: time code. The time code is around just go to

859
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: twenty one minutes and y'all start to see what I'm

860
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. They start by, I've never seen

861
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: a dance like this where it starts as dancing and

862
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: then it just turns into slow spinning while continuing to

863
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm seeing it, And then they do a wider shot

864
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: of it and it looks even weirder because are just like,

865
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: no one else is doing that, it's just them. That's incredible.

866
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: There's there's turning in a circle and he's going, maybe

867
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 1: we could hang out as friends, and I'm like, why

868
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: aren't you dancing anymore? What's happening? I wonder if they

869
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: like they had to learn like an actual ballroom dance,

870
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: but it was too complicated for both of them to

871
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: do the dance and deliver their lines. So they're like,

872
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: we're just gonna spend uh. We know, I mean, Vanessa

873
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: Hudgens is confirmed and not a good dancer. We've known

874
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: this since high school musical two thousand six, so not

875
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: to not to put around blast, but you know it

876
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 1: is true. Yeah, so that happens. Sorry, that was just

877
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: like a big bump for me, I was like, well,

878
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: where where are we? What's happening? Okay, thank you for

879
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: sharing that. I don't know if I would have noticed otherwise,

880
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: how would you survive that? Truly? Um? Okay? So Olivia

881
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: has overheard uh Antonio, Bully and Kevin basically, so she

882
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: goes to Stacy and Mark Egaret and proposes that they

883
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: switch places again so that Stacy can do Margaret's queen

884
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: duties at the like Christmas concert that night or whatever

885
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: or like the following day, and Margaret can still Like,

886
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Margaret Stay stays herself, the only one, okay.

887
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: So the whole reason for this switch is so that

888
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: Margaret and Kevin can have some alone time together. So

889
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 1: it's really just Stacy masquerading as Margaret in public so

890
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: that Margaret has the time to be alone with Kevin.

891
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: So there's a makeover montage of course, when which all

892
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: the Vanessa Hudgens is switch place. But because they're doing

893
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: this whole switch so that Margaret can have alone time

894
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: with Kevin, Kevin knows that he is spending time with Margaret.

895
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: The only person that is seeing Margaret as Stay see

896
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: is Kevin, so there's no reason that they needed to

897
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: actually switch places all the way. Yeah, absolutely, you're totally right.

898
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: You're totally right because he knows, he knows he's spending

899
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: time with Margaret. But even so, she dresses as Stacy,

900
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: which just makes the whole thing weirder because now he's like, well,

901
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: the woman I love now has like the hair and

902
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: clothes of my best friend, which wouldn't that be weird

903
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: for him? Like, I just don't. Also, this is this

904
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: is again I'm overthinking as by a trillion, But were

905
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: I putting myself in the shoes of either Kevin or Edward,

906
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: first of all, I would not be involved with any

907
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: of these Vanessas like these Vanessa's only bring chaos, um,

908
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,959
Speaker 1: but I would be constantly like, I think it would

909
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: almost be like probably a problem in the relationship. I

910
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: would constantly be carding Vanessa. I'd be like, can you

911
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: show me some idea? Like who are you like? Edward,

912
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: especially who is somehow like both obsessed with his wife

913
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: and has no idea what she looks like because he

914
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: like So that was when I started feeling less bad

915
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: for Edward. I'm like, well, he doesn't even know what

916
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: his wife looks like. What's wrong with this guy? Like

917
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: Mary kay Nashley's boyfriend's husband's whomever. Like they can always

918
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: tell the difference. Those French boys met them one time before,

919
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: and they knew exactly which one was Mary Kayton, which

920
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: one was Ashley. You know which Vanessa you're married to?

921
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: Is all I'm saying, Like it's just another strike against

922
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: that marriage. And then also Kevin at the end, who's

923
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: been We'll get there, but like, particularly if I were Kevin,

924
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: after what he goes through in this he granted he

925
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: should never have come, but after what he goes through

926
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: in this saga, I would have been like, Okay, before

927
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: I marry you at the airport, can you just like,

928
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: can you just confirm which Vanessa you are? Please stop

929
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: asking me to take your word for it, because it

930
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work, you know, Like yeah, I don't know. I

931
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: would just be like, I'm sorry, Like I'm sure at

932
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: least one of the Vanessas is a lovely person, but

933
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: I just need to like remove myself from the whole

934
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: Vanessa situation because it's too much, so confused, and it's

935
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: so confusing. Why does Margaret go through the trouble of

936
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: dressing as Stacy when the only person who is going

937
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: to see her is Kevin, who knows that she is

938
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: still Margaret doesn't. The place they go to is a

939
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: abandoned Christmas festival. No one's there, no literally that He's like,

940
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: let's go to the Christmas festival and then there's zero

941
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: people there, but it's open. It's like how many people

942
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: live in Montenaro? Is it? Six? Queen of if you

943
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: want to, I'm just like, if you really want some

944
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: alone time, wouldn't you like spend a like romantic evening together,

945
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: like just like not building snowman's together. And what feels

946
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: like a very platonic Vanisa, Well, that's just like a

947
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: casting issue. Vanessa has never had any chemistry with this

948
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: actor wait what is his name? Um? But she's never

949
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: had any chemistry with this guy. So no matter which

950
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: Vanessa it is, she doesn't have chemistry with him. And

951
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you don't think she has chemistry

952
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: with him, wait till you see her in chemistry, like

953
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: like do you know these people? She's allegedly known both

954
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: of these actors for like at least three years. Um.

955
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: But also, oh my god, no wait uh, the guy

956
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: who plays Kevin is also kind of untraceable. He doesn't

957
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: have a Wikipedia page. What is his deal? Oh he's

958
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: he's British. Wait, this is so confused. Kevin is British?

959
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: This is make it makes sense, It'll never will never,

960
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: So Kevin's secretly British. That's also a better plot point. Um,

961
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: but no, yeah, he revealed the whole time. I'm part

962
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: of the royal family. You're like, wait, I'm not to

963
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Baker adoll um. But also to your point of how

964
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: nonsensical it is to have them switch. It would first

965
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: of all, be a better date if they were in private,

966
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: and also there would be no need, like there would

967
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: be no there'd be zero steaks, no need to switch.

968
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: There'd be zero steaks if there wasn't even no risk

969
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: of her getting caught in public. But then there's no

970
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: risk of her getting caught in public because they went

971
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: to an abandoned carnival. The more I think about it,

972
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: the less anything makes sense. Yeah, the steaks are on

973
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: the floor with Margaret and Stacy are subterranean. Meanwhile, Fiona,

974
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: they couldn't be higher. Everything's writing on this, Okay, So

975
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Margaret and Stacy agree to this completely unnecessary switch. Meanwhile,

976
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: Fiona is hatching a plan of her own to pretend

977
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: to be Margaret so that she can get access to

978
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Margaret's royal money and steal some of it. That's how

979
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: it works, you get the royal pin number on the

980
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: day coronations. Okay, the stakes are higher for her, but

981
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 1: her storyline still makes no sense because it was not

982
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: at all clear to me why she needed to go

983
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 1: through with the coronation ceremony to gain access to the

984
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: money she could have just because reasons, it makes sense

985
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: that she was still that she would still need to

986
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: kind of masquerade as Margaret for a little while to

987
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: like hack into her bank account or whatever, but to

988
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: do the whole coronation, I was like, that's not necessary.

989
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: It definitely isn't no um the same way. But I

990
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: also was just like, I feel like this movie really

991
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: is a case study of like how much nonsense you'll

992
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: put up with based on how much you are personally

993
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: invested into character, Because no one's storyline makes sense. But

994
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Fiona why because she's interesting. She's so

995
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: she's the only Vanessa whose plotline isn't connected to like

996
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: a man like. She's just like I'm trying to. I mean, granted,

997
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: she's trying to steal the throne, but you know, it's

998
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: like she's going to be literally what she's gonna be,

999
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: a queen of fourteen people. Margaret did not want the job,

1000
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: except she suddenly does in this movie, which is I

1001
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: mean talking about a switch. That's the real switch. Completely yeah,

1002
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the completely out of nowhere motivation switch of Margaret's character

1003
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: from the first movie to the second movie. That's what

1004
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: the princess switch should be about. But I like that Fiona.

1005
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: I like the Fiona justifies She's like, oh no, I

1006
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: could totally look like Margaret. Look it, here's a picture

1007
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: of me from my Ariana phase and it's like a

1008
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: picture of her as Vanessa Hudgens and the hench people

1009
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: are like, oh, totally yeah. And then Sarsha goes like

1010
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: nuclear and is like Okay, here's what we have to do,

1011
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: and like starts training her to be a princess, even

1012
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: though it's like, um, last time I checked, Sarsha, you

1013
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: are a hench person, so I don't know what you

1014
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: know about. And Fiona is again part of the royal family.

1015
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: She might be like I don't know if she's like

1016
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a duchess or something, but she's like she would know

1017
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: more a royal. Right, she lives in in a state

1018
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't have electricity, but you know, in a state nonetheless,

1019
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: she could still flip it. Uh, that's another story. This

1020
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: is just becoming a story notes podcast over time, but

1021
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: another story note that I had that another yet another

1022
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: thing that could make Margaret one percent interesting is like

1023
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: the only connection we know about, like I keep wanting

1024
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: to save Fiona and Margaret are that their cousins and

1025
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: we know nothing about what their actual relationship is as cousins.

1026
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: Like I thought it could I wrote down it could

1027
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: have been interesting if like maybe Fiona brings out Margaret's

1028
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: wild side and they used to like have fun to

1029
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: get there and they had a close relationship, but then

1030
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: something happened and now they're estranged, and like that would

1031
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: give some sort of connection on like it would make

1032
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: it even funnier slash maybe wouldn't be as funny if

1033
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: Fiona bullied Margaret like she does. Um, But it's like

1034
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: there is no we have no indication of We just

1035
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: know their cousins. We don't know what their relationship is, Like,

1036
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: we don't know if they have any fun memories together. Like,

1037
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: I just felt like contextualizing that a little bit would

1038
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: have given us a stronger, I mean a stronger connection

1039
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: with a female character than Margaret has with Stacy, who

1040
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: she just like trusts without questioning, even though Stacy is

1041
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: a disaster just because they look exactly alike, which is

1042
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: not a basis for trust and a friendship. Watch any

1043
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: Marry Kane Nashley movie. They always fight. Uh, there's always

1044
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: conflict and then it's resolved. That's how twin movies work. Yeah,

1045
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's like we don't know anything about like

1046
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: I wanted. I was like, oh, it would have been

1047
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: fun if Margaret's like, oh, I don't hang out with

1048
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Fiona anymore because just things would always get wild when

1049
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: she's around, and I'm just not myself around Fiona. I

1050
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: just like it would have been fun. That's a great uh, Like,

1051
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: that's great backstory for them. The only other thing we

1052
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: know about Fiona because we don't know much about her character,

1053
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: but with the one thing we do learn is that

1054
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: her father also died maybe recently they could talk about

1055
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: they could bond over the loss, the grieving process. You know,

1056
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: there's there's all kinds of stuff and apparently, like I mean,

1057
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't like the king have been Fiona's uncle, Like that's

1058
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: also right, it would be grieving the same two people,

1059
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: that's true, right, she Yeah, why didn't they say each

1060
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: other at the funeral? Why didn't Fiona? Did Fiona not

1061
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: go to the king's funeral? And wouldn't that have caused

1062
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: a scandal, not only a scandal in the family, but

1063
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: like a public scandal. Someone hire me at a Balgravy

1064
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: in newspaper, Like there's a lot going on here and

1065
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: no one is writing about it? What like the pot

1066
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: I got really too fixated on the politics of Bulgravia

1067
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: and Aldovia in this one uh this year, and it's

1068
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: like everything is a disaster. But yeah, again, that's that.

1069
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that, the fact that they

1070
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: both recently lost parents who would have been each other's uncle's. Right, Well,

1071
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,919
Speaker 1: it's because they play off Fiona's father's death as a joke,

1072
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: because Stacy is like, you mean Percival Pembroke who died

1073
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: of a peanut allergy, and that whole thing is just

1074
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: like how is supposed to be? That's not funny. Oh,

1075
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: not to backtrack to the beginning of the movie, But

1076
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: did you find the opening montage to be very aggressive?

1077
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: Because I found it to be very aggressive, in ghastly

1078
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: in a way that was like maybe lap but it

1079
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: was like, so the beginning is animated, and it's just

1080
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: recapping the previous movie, which I do appreciate because everyone

1081
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: watching it needs that because it's not a memorable movie. Um,

1082
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: but the way that it's written and the way Vanessa

1083
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: a Diden to read it, it's really aggressive, and she goes,

1084
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: of course, you probably remember that. My name is Stacy

1085
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: and I'm from Chicago, and naturally you remember Kevin. And

1086
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: then like every time something happens, you're like, no, I

1087
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: don't remember that. No, I don't remember that. No, I

1088
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: don't remember that, and Stacy is just like being She's

1089
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: like and naturally you would be remiss not to remember Margaret,

1090
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't remember that. Like it was

1091
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: just I know it was a joke, and I feel

1092
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 1: like it's the movie acknowledging how now like ridiculously unmemorable

1093
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: the first movie was. But I found it to be

1094
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: a really aggressive way to start. And then it goes like,

1095
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: and of course you know that the King is dead,

1096
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: and of course you know that the prince abdicated the throne,

1097
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, I really don't really don't never

1098
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: happened on screen. Is anyone going to be sad about that?

1099
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: Is anyone? No? No, it doesn't matter anyway. As the beginning,

1100
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 1: it was just like the beginning, like v O, I

1101
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: was like, stop yelling at me, like it's not my fault.

1102
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Your movie sucked and I don't remember anything from it. Jeez.

1103
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Oh it really sets the tone though, Okay, it really does. Yes,

1104
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: So Fiona is hatching her plan to become Margaret so

1105
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,719
Speaker 1: that she can gain access to the throne to steal

1106
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: the money, right, okay, so then so then Stacy becomes

1107
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: Margaret for the night, Margaret becomes Stacy, and they proceed

1108
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: with their plan. Everything seems like it's going to be

1109
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: fine until Fiona shows up, also pretending to be Margaret,

1110
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: and she abducts Stacy, who Fiona thinks is Margaret. Because

1111
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: I am this seed, this is like the only like

1112
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: one of the only parts where I'm like, okay, this

1113
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: is like kind of compelling, and then it like falls

1114
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: apart really quickly. But but when search up, it's like

1115
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: the chemical rag over Vanessa's mouth. You're like, WHOA, that

1116
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: escalated really quickly. I didn't think that they were going to, like,

1117
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, actually like really commit a crime against a Vanessa,

1118
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: but they did. Well, it's not Sarsha, it is Vanessa

1119
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Hudgens chloriforming herself. That's iconic, like and in an incredible

1120
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: piece of cinema. You have to admit that is like

1121
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. It's it's incredible, it's brilliant writing. But yeah,

1122
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: they commit a pretty serious felony in this movie, which

1123
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: which Fiona only get a slight slap on the wrist floor.

1124
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: I do love that, and Tonio goes to the dungeon

1125
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: and Fiona gets community service. Again iconic, Like, clearly there's

1126
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: some nepotism I play here maybe, um okay, So now

1127
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Fiona has taken the place of Margaret and abducted Stacy

1128
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,799
Speaker 1: because of this whole comedy of errors thing. Then Margaret

1129
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: shows back up at the end of the night after

1130
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: her night with Kevin where they platonically build snow people together,

1131
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: and Margaret goes to the person who who she thinks

1132
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,839
Speaker 1: is Stacy, but of course it's really Fiona, and Fiona

1133
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: to Margaret is like, Stacy, get out of here. And

1134
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 1: Margaret's like, wait a minute, Stacy, the game is up.

1135
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? It's time to switch back.

1136
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: And then this is when Fiona kicks Margaret out of

1137
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:32,640
Speaker 1: her own bedroom, wrecking balls. Margaret's like entire life and

1138
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: sense of self in a single scene. And I was like,

1139
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 1: oh my god, why am I cheering her on? But

1140
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: I still was. I was like, Fiona, you're amazing. Like

1141
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 1: she she's such a villain. She's like a perfect villain.

1142
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: She's like trying on the crown like and then she

1143
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: flings it into a Christmas tree, she like frisbees it in,

1144
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: and then she's like, get out of here, Margaret, you're

1145
01:10:53,880 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 1: not the queen. And she's like oh okay, oh it's

1146
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, Fiona. There's a there's a moment where

1147
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: Fiona is staring at herself in the mirror, wearing Margaret's crown,

1148
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: laughing maniacally and being like off with their heads, and

1149
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: it's just like You're like, yeah, off with their heads?

1150
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's really hard to get me to the

1151
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 1: route for um, you know, character this privilege. But Fiona

1152
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: is really cool. I'm you know, I'm really I really

1153
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: wish that she had taken the crown because clearly Margaret doesn't.

1154
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:37,879
Speaker 1: I mean, if anything, it proves the fact that Margaret

1155
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: is not fit to rule. It's the fact that she got,

1156
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, steamrolled by her own cousin out of her

1157
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: own identity in less than a minute. Like, Okay, that's

1158
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: not the constitution of someone who could run a country.

1159
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: It's just not happened to you. What's gonna happen to

1160
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: you in the Royal Court? You're going to be a

1161
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: disaster anyway. Yeah, you if you have no sense of self?

1162
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: Where where are your convictions? Where is your where's your

1163
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: sense of anything? Where's your Like I guess her only

1164
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: staff is Antonio and she's constantly refusing his help, but

1165
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: which granted, ends up being a good idea because he's

1166
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: also a villain. But like she keeps being like it's

1167
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: so confusing because she's like, I don't know how to

1168
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: be a queen and this is really confusing. But then

1169
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 1: whenever she's offered help, she's like, I don't want help,

1170
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: And I'm like, so, do you just want to be

1171
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: like a bad queen? Like what do you what do

1172
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: you want it's also a weird dynamic because like, yeah,

1173
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: he is her advisor, but he's also constantly throwing himself

1174
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: at her. So that would that would give me some

1175
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: kind of like imposter syndrome like something. But if I

1176
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: were Margaret and I were the fucking queen, I mean,

1177
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like putting a lot on her, but

1178
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, she can fire him and hire an advisor

1179
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: she trusts happens in Christmas prints all the time. They

1180
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: like lose them, like Defense against the Dark Arts Professors.

1181
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: There's a new one every movie, like you can you

1182
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: can fire Antonio, Like right, she's the queen, like I

1183
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: just and again, it's like if that dynamic were explored

1184
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: at all, of like, oh, I really need to like

1185
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, become more assertive and I need to stop

1186
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: worrying about pleasing other people and like do what I

1187
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 1: know is right for my country. Like that's a compelling

1188
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: narrative to send her on like and I wouldn't be

1189
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: so judge of her if I thought that that was

1190
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 1: being done to tell a story, but it isn't there.

1191
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: She's just like she's just I'm like just fire and

1192
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: literally fire and fire, and wie to him and be like, sorry,

1193
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: things aren't going to work out side of my hands,

1194
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna hire someone qualified. You know, I'm gonna

1195
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: hire side out. She could have someone else on her

1196
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 1: staff because she's going to have a large staff if

1197
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: she's about to be queen. She can get someone else

1198
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: to fire him. She never even has to talk to Antoni.

1199
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:55,640
Speaker 1: It's so confusing. And the hire Simon. Simon's right over

1200
01:13:55,720 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: there in Aldovia. Oh, cousin Simon, cousin Simon. At turns

1201
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: out he really redeems himself. You know that Simon can

1202
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: be trusted, So you know, hire Simon. He's got experience,

1203
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: and um, you don't need Antonio. Hire a woman in

1204
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: this position like Vanessa hudgens Is. You're like whatever, but

1205
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:18,440
Speaker 1: don't just be like, oh, this is so awkward with Antonio.

1206
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: I wish I could do something. It's like you, you,

1207
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: you have more power than anyone to do something about it. Literally,

1208
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 1: you're like the only person who can, so you gotta

1209
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, okay. So then so now that there's

1210
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 1: like this snag and Fiona's plan, she has to act

1211
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: more quickly. This means she has to move the coronation

1212
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 1: ceremony to that night, but first she cancels her dinner

1213
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: plans with Kevin, who who had just had this lovely

1214
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: evening building snow people with so so Fiona still pretending

1215
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: to me, Margaret tells Kevin that things are over between them,

1216
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 1: and he's devastated and he heads to the airport. Meanwhile,

1217
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 1: the real Margaret goes to Prince Edward, who has just

1218
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: been like bumbling around this entire movie, not aware of

1219
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: where he is or who his wife is, and he's

1220
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: just been gas lit by so many people. And then

1221
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 1: he asks Vanessa for help and he never receives the

1222
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: help he asks for that was when I was truly

1223
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 1: at my most sympathetic for Prince Edward is when he

1224
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: asks well and least because you're like, you can't tell

1225
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: that's your wife? Yikes. Um, But also half the time

1226
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: I can't either. There's sometimes where I'm like, wait, who

1227
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 1: is that? But um, I think they should have made

1228
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more difference in the hair because sometimes

1229
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, mm, all the accents are so fake. Um.

1230
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 1: The only thing that gets me to figure out who

1231
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: is who is that? Margaret always wears like a deep

1232
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: red lipstick and usually more I make up, but not

1233
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 1: as much I make up as Fiona. So yeah, I

1234
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: know they all have to kind of look like Vanessa Hudgens,

1235
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: but like it does get refusing. There should be more. Yeah,

1236
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: there should be like a greater visual signifier of like

1237
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: which one is which. I did feel bad for Prince

1238
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: Edward when he was drinking coco just in the middle

1239
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: of an empty room and was like, like, my wife

1240
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: doesn't want to hang out with me. I'm so sad.

1241
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,639
Speaker 1: I'm not even that busy. I'm lying about being busy.

1242
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: Being a king isn't even that hard, Like, oh, this sucks.

1243
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: And then he's talking to his wife and and she's like,

1244
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: oh um, it'll probably all work out, and you're like,

1245
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: that's all you got. Oh, it's sad. I felt bad

1246
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: for him in that scene. I was like, Edward, just

1247
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: move on, man. Well, My main note for him was

1248
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: that not that I even appreciate this per se, because

1249
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't like it when, like any character who because

1250
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,640
Speaker 1: he seems like a pretty kind, decent man, seem like

1251
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 1: a bad person to boring, boring and unaware of his surroundings.

1252
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 1: But parents are probably cousins, he's royal. You know, and

1253
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 1: they're probably dead, maybe from a peanut allergy. Who can say,

1254
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: but parents peanuts, parents peanut. Um. What I noticed, I suppose,

1255
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:26,440
Speaker 1: is that in most movies that revolve around a romantic storyline,

1256
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: and there is also a some kind of like lie

1257
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: or bet or like game component to the romance where

1258
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: a character is being lied to about what's really happening.

1259
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: It's usually a woman who is like the victim of

1260
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: this lie, so for that to be switched a little

1261
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: bit and it's it's Edward who is constantly being lied

1262
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 1: to and gas lit. Again, I don't like to see it.

1263
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,640
Speaker 1: The thing is, like, it's like I I don't like

1264
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 1: when people like writers are like, oh, I'm not you know,

1265
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: they invert it instead of subverting it where they're like, oh,

1266
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: let's just do a fucking Oceans twelve of this plot point,

1267
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: Like you're like, it's still not compelling. I felt the

1268
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: same way about Kevin and the sweatpants, Like I feel

1269
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 1: like that's usually a plot point that's like taken against

1270
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: a female character who went through a breakup, and they're like,

1271
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: get yourself together, you're wearing sweatpants. You have to like

1272
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: get him back. And I think that oh yeah, and

1273
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: he's also like I'm going to get another cat and

1274
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: it's like, come on, like sweatpants and they're like, oh

1275
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: but it's a cat daddy, and you're like it's still

1276
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: like no, like what, well we're trying to say. It's like,

1277
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: let's do one better for everybody, Like yeah, every time

1278
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: they it's just such a lazy laziness to I mean,

1279
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,680
Speaker 1: but these movies are lazy. So I wasn't like outraged,

1280
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: but I'm like, yeah, Kevin and Edward are both kind

1281
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: of like treated how women in this genre are often treated,

1282
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: which is interesting, but it's still bad writing. But it's

1283
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: not like good writing to take a stereotype and then

1284
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:11,640
Speaker 1: just gender flip it. That's not creating. Stop doing that.

1285
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: Like yeah, but in this genre, I guess it makes

1286
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: that I don't like it, but it's like I guess

1287
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm not, like, why isn't this movie better written? Like

1288
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: you know why? But yeah, I totally agree. I was.

1289
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: I find Edward he's just sipping cocoa. He's he's wearing

1290
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: sweatpants spiritually literally right, he might be literally wearing a tuxedo,

1291
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: but spiritually he's also a sad sweatpants cat Daddy. But yeah,

1292
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: like you said, are as an audience, our expectations need

1293
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: to be as low as the stakes are for Stacy

1294
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 1: and Margaret, which is like basement level apartment style. Um. Alright, So,

1295
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:03,600
Speaker 1: so Fiona has sabotage Kevin's relationship with Margaret. Meanwhile, the

1296
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: real Margaret goes to Prince Edward and tells him and

1297
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: her the other few members of her staff that she

1298
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: does have about the situation. And then they figure out

1299
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:19,799
Speaker 1: that this impostor is Fiona and she must have kidnapped

1300
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: Stacy and that they must be keeping her at the

1301
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 1: Pembroke estate. How they managed to figure out exactly where

1302
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: Stacy is based on what little information they have only

1303
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: deduced and not even confirmed is a bit confusing, but

1304
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: they figure it all out. It just happens to be right.

1305
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:42,440
Speaker 1: And then Fiona as Margaret is trying to convince Antonio

1306
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: to like move the coronation ceremony to that night so

1307
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 1: that she can be crowned queen for reasons uncleared that

1308
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: doesn't need to happen. Um. But Antonio realizes that Fiona

1309
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 1: is not Margaret, and he's like, well, I'll rat you

1310
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: out or you can let me in on this scheme

1311
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: and we can split the money. So that's their plan

1312
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: moving forward. Meanwhile, I liked when they combined forces, but

1313
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: again I just felt like even like the stakes were

1314
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:23,440
Speaker 1: confusing for Antonio. I like, if we're gonna have Antonio,

1315
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 1: which we don't need, really, I kind of wish he

1316
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: wanted more, or like I didn't understand why by the

1317
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: rules of this movie, you would think that Antonio would

1318
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: like fall madly in love with Fiona right away. He's like, oh,

1319
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: I love women who look like Vanessa Hudgens, and you're

1320
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,600
Speaker 1: evil just like me. Like just there was no he

1321
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 1: was just like, Okay, I guess I'm on board as

1322
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 1: long as I'm involved. I didn't want them to fall

1323
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: in love, but I just like I thought there should

1324
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,759
Speaker 1: have been some other thing he wanted, Like it shouldn't

1325
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: have been so easy for her for Fiona to just

1326
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:00,560
Speaker 1: be like, okay, we're evil to get there now, like

1327
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: because then his his function kind of like goes away

1328
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:09,600
Speaker 1: like yeah, well, and then his motivation is established to

1329
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: be that because she's like, why do you need why

1330
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:15,960
Speaker 1: do you need the money? You're filthy rich? And he's like, no,

1331
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 1: my brother inherited most of the estate. I only have

1332
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: a very small income, which I'm sure is still very substantial.

1333
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: But are like identical and that they're like, I want

1334
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: to maintain my lifestyle, but I can't exactly. So what

1335
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: that implies that if his brother inherited the estate, his

1336
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:41,599
Speaker 1: dad also must be dead. Right? What's who's killing all

1337
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: the elder members of this royal family? Do they all

1338
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: have peanut allergies? Could you trace it back? Is there

1339
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: a royal chef that's got it in for Ken? Is

1340
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: it the same royal chef who is in the Christmas

1341
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: Prince to who Rudy be friends? It makes you whoa, oh,

1342
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: that would be Rudy. I can't even think about Rudy

1343
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: right now. My hat will explode. Hey, I'm walking New York.

1344
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: Who do you na We're gonna make You're like, this

1345
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 1: is just this is we need to turn the television off. Yeah,

1346
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I didn't even think of that where

1347
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: he I don't know the whole Antonio Antonio, I feel

1348
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: like should have been like left in a previous draft.

1349
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't. By the end, it's like Fiona's doing what

1350
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 1: Antonio is doing. And then it's like, well, then why

1351
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: do we need to have these characters? What I guess

1352
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: he technically is like, well, I can get the coronation

1353
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: to happen earlier. But I'm like, what, all right? Yeah,

1354
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: I liked I liked when the priest was confused. That

1355
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: was fun. That was very fun. And heways, so yeah,

1356
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: now Antonio is like dot dot dot involved, Like he

1357
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, he's in on the scheme. Meanwhile, Edward, Margaret,

1358
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 1: and the others Margaret's staff rescue Stacy from Pembroke Estate

1359
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: and then rushed to the cathedral to stop Fiona from

1360
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:21,680
Speaker 1: going through with the coronation, and then that's when the

1361
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: priests are all confused, and then they successfully stop all that.

1362
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: Antonio gets thrown in the dungeon. Uh, Fiona just sort

1363
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: of slips out unpunished, and then they all rush to

1364
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 1: the airport where Kevin is about to get on a plane. Again,

1365
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: the tropiest thing that the movie possibly could have done,

1366
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: they do it. Uh, and then Margaret's like, no, that

1367
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 1: wasn't me who sent you away. That was Fiona. I

1368
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 1: love you. I want to marry you, and he's like,

1369
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: I want to marry you. So then they find a

1370
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: random priest who was about to board his flight, and

1371
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: this pell Gravy and or whatever the fun country they're in.

1372
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: At this point, I was like, sure, I also something

1373
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: I got really stuck on. But apparently they were I was.

1374
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I was outraged at the very idea that there would

1375
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: be a direct flight from Chicago to Belgrada. But I

1376
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: guess if they were going to London to get a

1377
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 1: connecting flight to Chicago. So you know what, good job movie,

1378
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: good job, Like, there's no way there's a direct from

1379
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Chicago to belgrad Via. I just don't believe it anyways,

1380
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 1: But yes, they find a priest who is about to

1381
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: get onto a fucking delta flight and then they make

1382
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:45,480
Speaker 1: him officiate their impromptu airport wedding. Kevin does not card Vanessa.

1383
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: No one has to prove their identity first of all,

1384
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: priest needs to get his act together, because I'm pretty

1385
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: sure you need to prove who you are before you

1386
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: can get married, and you need to like sign documents.

1387
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:00,040
Speaker 1: And it was a sham. It was a sham of

1388
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,720
Speaker 1: a question. And I know that they know that they

1389
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,599
Speaker 1: weren't they're not actually married, and that Kevin ken still

1390
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:06,679
Speaker 1: go back to Chicago. And we don't need to continue.

1391
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 1: Well maybe that's part of the plot of the third movie. Anyway,

1392
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 1: Mary was the marriage was clearly not legitimate. The priest

1393
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: was coerced. So this completely not legally binding marriage happens

1394
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,719
Speaker 1: at the airport. And then the next day is Christmas,

1395
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: and that is when the real Margaret has her real

1396
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 1: coronation to become the real queen. And this is where

1397
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: Queen Amber and King Richard from Christmas Prince and their

1398
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: royal baby baby they are present, and we go and

1399
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: then everyone lives happily ever after. And that's the movie.

1400
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: This is the smallest reward that I'll get. I was

1401
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: concerned that the coronation was also going to turn into

1402
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 1: a second wedding. I was at least glad that, like,

1403
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: after the port wedding, I'm like, oh my god, they're

1404
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna do like and now here's the real wedding. But

1405
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: at least, at very very least, the coronation stayed focused

1406
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,879
Speaker 1: on Margaret as it should have stayed focused on Margaret,

1407
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: even though it was nothing makes sense, but I did appreciate.

1408
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: I was concerned there was going to be a second,

1409
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: larger wedding following the airport, wedding, a few, a few

1410
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: things that we blew through that I just I just

1411
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Stacy escaping from the hench people is extremely compelling. That

1412
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 1: was the coolest thing she's ever done in her entire

1413
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: character's life is when she escapes from I'm like, okay,

1414
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,560
Speaker 1: so you have skills, you can at least bake and

1415
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: escape old castles, like, you know, apply these skills somewhere,

1416
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, just do that. And I like that, I do.

1417
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: I will hand it to the movie that she got

1418
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: herself out of that situation. Edward throws a punt at

1419
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: the very end, but that's literally the first thing he's

1420
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 1: done in the entire movie, so I think I'll give it.

1421
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:06,560
Speaker 1: But like he didn't rescue her, she rescued herself. She

1422
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: rescues herself, and then Edward throws a ceremonial princely punch

1423
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:15,600
Speaker 1: at the end to um, what's his name? Does it

1424
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 1: pass the Bechtel test when the most boring character in

1425
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: the movie punches the most interesting character in the movie

1426
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:27,560
Speaker 1: in the face, Yes, it does? And does it? We

1427
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: also skipped over this. Does it pass the Betel test

1428
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: when one hench person locks another hench person in a

1429
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 1: Trunk does that because gets for some reason. Does it

1430
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 1: pass the Bectel test where she gets out when third

1431
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: Vanessa Hudgens ak, Fiona is looking at herself in the mirror,

1432
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 1: laughing and being like, oh what the heads? Yes, okay,

1433
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 1: that actually I think it does when any of the Vanessa's.

1434
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 1: I would say it does not pass the Becktel test

1435
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 1: very much. I wasn't keeping like super close math on this,

1436
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 1: but it barely passes between Stacy and Margaret if at all,

1437
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 1: because all they ever do is talk about bucking Kevin.

1438
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: Uh so that's not good. I think it does pass

1439
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 1: between the gals and Olivia at one point. Um, it

1440
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 1: definitely passes between Fiona and Margaret. That basically that whole

1441
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 1: scene is Fiona. Does it pass with Vanessa Hudgens tells

1442
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 1: a different Vanessa Hudgens that she's useless and to get out. Yes. Um,

1443
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: so it does pass between various Vanessas, and also with Olivia,

1444
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:35,679
Speaker 1: and then I think with Sarsia a couple of times.

1445
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: But the okay, the end, the end, the end where Fiona, okay,

1446
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 1: so I do love when Margaret rolls up and you're like, okay,

1447
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: we know that Stacy has been captured. We haven't figured

1448
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,719
Speaker 1: out that Kevin is going to the Belgravy and airport.

1449
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the only one or not belgrad Montenar. I

1450
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: don't know where they are. Yeah, I guess they are

1451
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: in Monteiro. It's it's pretty close, but like they're going

1452
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: to the Montenaro airport by Oh, okay, I have another question,

1453
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:12,640
Speaker 1: but just a second, uh okay, um, So they roll up.

1454
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, this is where Margaret's arc is going

1455
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 1: to go. It's gonna be like she's finally gonna stand

1456
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 1: up for herself for the first time in the entire movie,

1457
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 1: and she's going to be like, Fiona, you're going you're

1458
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:27,600
Speaker 1: out of here, sweetheart. But she she sends Antonio to

1459
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:30,560
Speaker 1: the dungeon, which is something that also exists in a

1460
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Christmas Prince and I'm like, do those still exist? I

1461
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: don't know. They send Antonia to the dungeon life imprisonment

1462
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 1: right without a trial. Fiona talks her way out of

1463
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,600
Speaker 1: it within a minute. Again, I'm like, we needed to

1464
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:48,600
Speaker 1: see Margaret stand up to her bully cousin, and she

1465
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: doesn't do it. She's like, Okay, you're gonna have to

1466
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 1: do so much community service, and Fiona is like, thank

1467
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:59,599
Speaker 1: you so much. This was a big misunderstanding. Yeah, you're

1468
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:01,439
Speaker 1: might stay Emily, and I always looked up to you.

1469
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 1: She's lying her way through the whole monologue, and Margaret

1470
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: completely buys it. If you're rooting for Fiona, it kind

1471
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: of rocks. Like if you're rooting for Fiona, at the end,

1472
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 1: you're like, wow, she was like a devious, lying villain

1473
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 1: to the very end, because there's no way she's like

1474
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 1: yeah because oh like because oh you just realized that?

1475
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 1: Or also how that did you remember that line where

1476
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 1: Fiona is talking to Margaret and she says something to

1477
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 1: the effect of, yeah, you didn't realize that you wanted

1478
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: to be a queen until now. How do you know

1479
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 1: that about? It was iconic. It reminds me of that

1480
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 1: meme that's like, no, don't do that, you're so sexy.

1481
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:48,719
Speaker 1: Ha ha. Fiona does that, but she's like, no, don't

1482
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:50,720
Speaker 1: put me in the dungeon, you're so sexy ha ha.

1483
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 1: And Margaret's like, Okay, I won't and then she doesn't um.

1484
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: But then she's told she has community service. But then

1485
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 1: she's seen surrounded by co and then at the coronation, Right, Yeah,

1486
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 1: did the people go to the dungeon? Why weren't they

1487
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 1: at the coronation? What happened there? What's not all about?

1488
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 1: Who was that cab driver? What was that all about? It?

1489
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,560
Speaker 1: Isn't that a reference to the first movie? Yes? But

1490
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:17,600
Speaker 1: I I went then I went back and watched the

1491
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 1: first movie, and I'm like, I also don't understand him

1492
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: in the first movie? Is he Santa? I think it's

1493
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:25,719
Speaker 1: there's some implication that he's sort of like this magical

1494
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: Christmas figure who orchestrates these fantastical storylines or something. But

1495
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:35,320
Speaker 1: then I also was like, we didn't get a satisfactory

1496
01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: enough answer of who he was in the first movie

1497
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: to justify bringing him back, because what his plot? He's

1498
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 1: like a plot Santa, because all he does is all

1499
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 1: he does. He also does more in the first movie

1500
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 1: than he does in this one. The only thing he

1501
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 1: does in this movie drives Kevin and Olivia to the

1502
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:56,840
Speaker 1: airport the wrong way, Like he just drives into the

1503
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 1: airport really really slow, in a very roundabout Yes, last Exanta, Um,

1504
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 1: he just drives into the airport wrong because he knows

1505
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 1: that one of the Vanessa's has to get out of

1506
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 1: a castle, and the other Vanessa has to also. That

1507
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 1: wasn't the castle they were describing like a good hour

1508
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,640
Speaker 1: away from the They say that the castle is an

1509
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 1: hour away, so you have to factor. So I'm like,

1510
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:25,320
Speaker 1: how long were they in this cab? Right? That was

1511
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 1: such a commute, that's like a two hour? How far

1512
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 1: the airport? Unless the airport just happened to be right

1513
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:35,600
Speaker 1: next to the Pembroke estate. But we have we're not

1514
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:38,960
Speaker 1: given a map. We don't know. We assume it's quite

1515
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:41,639
Speaker 1: a drive. I felt like I was just spinning around

1516
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:43,839
Speaker 1: in a circle when I was supposed to be dancing.

1517
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:50,320
Speaker 1: It was really jarring experience. Well, also, Olivia, I guess

1518
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 1: you know what fun Chicago, Olivia? We live in We

1519
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 1: live in Montenaro now, just like, oh, what's that you say, Olivia?

1520
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 1: Just like the end of the last fuck movie? That's right,

1521
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 1: these characters have the exact same ending as the last movie.

1522
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's easy to like uproot a child

1523
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 1: character from her life when you don't do anything at

1524
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:17,719
Speaker 1: all to characterize her or give her like an interior

1525
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 1: life at all, and only make her obsessed with whether

1526
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 1: who her father is having sex with and whether or

1527
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,599
Speaker 1: not they're having sex. I feel for Kevin to an extent,

1528
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 1: but also like he shouldn't have shown up like that.

1529
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 1: Margaret could have been justifiably mad at him. He shouldn't

1530
01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:39,280
Speaker 1: have brought his child into this whole situation again, So

1531
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: what's what? So let's not forget So the movie. This

1532
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 1: movie opens after the animated montage, but before the plot starts,

1533
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 1: and the whole plot of the first movie revolves around

1534
01:34:55,680 --> 01:35:01,560
Speaker 1: this baking contest, which what is up with Belgravia and

1535
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:07,959
Speaker 1: Montenaro that they have their royal family being the judges

1536
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 1: for these low budget baking contests. Yeah, it's like, are

1537
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 1: you that? It brings me back to the first scene

1538
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 1: where like Stacy and Everler are like, we're so busy

1539
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:25,559
Speaker 1: and it's like going to going to a baking competition. Sure, yeah,

1540
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 1: it's like okay, yeah, you're booked right up. I will

1541
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: say that that of and this is like not really

1542
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:39,559
Speaker 1: a compliment, but the Princess Switch movies are a little

1543
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:42,879
Speaker 1: more diverse than some of the other Netflix Christmas movies

1544
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 1: because usually, especially in the Christmas Prince, which we'll talk

1545
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,879
Speaker 1: about in another episode. Um, when there are non white characters.

1546
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 1: They are troped, troped, troped in very offensive ways, unusually

1547
01:35:55,160 --> 01:36:00,080
Speaker 1: relegated to like secondary or tertiary characters exactly. So in

1548
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 1: the Princess Switch, um that doesn't happen. It's still very

1549
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:11,080
Speaker 1: aggressively hetero, and the movies are still like gone awful.

1550
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 1: But um, you know there, that's the end of my

1551
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 1: sentence that taking to leave it, most of choose to

1552
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:26,560
Speaker 1: leave it. Um, And that's okay, No, But yeah, I

1553
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: mean Christmas movies in general, when we've talked about this,

1554
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's a whole conversation to be had, which

1555
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 1: we've had on on different episodes about just the centering

1556
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: the rigid white heateronus of that and just like holiday

1557
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 1: movies predominantly being about Christmas, which is obviously a very

1558
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 1: Christian holiday, leaving out many other holidays of this season,

1559
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 1: other holidays of any season, any other religions, any non religions,

1560
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, like about secular people and their celebrations, and

1561
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:07,519
Speaker 1: you know, just completely erasing any kind of other cultures

1562
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: or religions, holidays and traditions and things like that. So

1563
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:17,040
Speaker 1: there's just like a very like Christian, white, hetero centric

1564
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:21,719
Speaker 1: idealization of it's. I mean, if you look at something

1565
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure that a lot of our listeners have seen already,

1566
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:28,400
Speaker 1: like the montages of Hallmark Christmas movie posters, it's always

1567
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: like a hetero white couple in when one's wearing a

1568
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 1: green sweater and one's wearing a blue sweater and they're

1569
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: all the same exact movie. Yeah, I mean, it's it's

1570
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 1: something that it seems like at very least these companies

1571
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: are becoming aware of and they're aware that there is

1572
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:51,120
Speaker 1: a demand for more diversity in this genre. So I

1573
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: hope we continue to see more of that, even in

1574
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: the Netflix Christmas Movie universe, like you've seen things improving.

1575
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: The movies are always bad, but that's also the genre

1576
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: like I don't Know the Princess, which is like definitely

1577
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:09,679
Speaker 1: a nudge in the right direction in in in that regard,

1578
01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:12,720
Speaker 1: the movies are never going to be good and we

1579
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 1: all and on top of that, um, we need movies

1580
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:21,080
Speaker 1: that are less rigidly hetero. I mean again, a Christmas

1581
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:23,760
Speaker 1: Prince tries to do this, but they do it in

1582
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 1: mostly a way that's trophy and bad. So it's it's

1583
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 1: interesting how I feel like these genres especially these very

1584
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 1: formula genres are interesting to keep an eye on in

1585
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 1: terms of like progress and representation. Yeah, I don't, I

1586
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 1: don't know. This genre in particular has so much work

1587
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 1: to do in terms of casting more diversely telling literally

1588
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: and a second story. A second story would be amazing,

1589
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 1: um because it's mostly the same movie five thousand times. Yes,

1590
01:38:58,040 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 1: there's been a lot written about it as well that

1591
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 1: probably speak to this more particulately than we are, and

1592
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,760
Speaker 1: I feel like we we do talk about it every year. Um,

1593
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: So this this genre is this movie and this series

1594
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: is not the Worst Offender, which is definitely saying much,

1595
01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 1: not saying much, but you know, it's I think that, like,

1596
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:25,439
Speaker 1: it is true that when movies like these do well

1597
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 1: and they're continually like nudged and pressured to have more

1598
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,640
Speaker 1: representation and the worst film genre of all time, like,

1599
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 1: it does make a difference, and it's important that we

1600
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:38,600
Speaker 1: keep yeah talking about it. Um, you know, I do

1601
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:42,559
Speaker 1: want a fourth Vanessa Hudgens. Well, here, let me tell

1602
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:48,719
Speaker 1: you about my pitch for Princess Switched three, Switched again again.

1603
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 1: This episode is officially longer than the um. Well, I

1604
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,960
Speaker 1: luckily have most of my notes they've already been said.

1605
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 1: I do have a couple other things, but yeah, so

1606
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:05,720
Speaker 1: here's a pitch that I spent exactly five seconds thinking of.

1607
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 1: So it doesn't make any sense, but neither do any

1608
01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 1: of these movies, so it's actually very in keeping with

1609
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 1: UM the brand. Okay, So the movie opens, Margaret is

1610
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 1: six months gregnant with a royal baby, but her airport

1611
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:30,479
Speaker 1: wedding with Kevin was only three months ago. Oh no,

1612
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:36,600
Speaker 1: So to avoid a pre marital sex scandal, she and

1613
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 1: Stacy have to switch places again because Stacy is not gregnant,

1614
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 1: so that Stacy can appear in public as Margaret looking

1615
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 1: non pregnant. But Stacy is getting tired of being in

1616
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 1: the public eye, so she's like, this is so much pressure.

1617
01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer I can deal with this.

1618
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 1: And then just then a long lost cousin of Stacy's

1619
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: who comes from deep within Appalachia shows up and she's like,

1620
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,680
Speaker 1: why do you get all the like royal fun? I

1621
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:10,920
Speaker 1: want a part of this, you know where we're for family,

1622
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: I should be entitled to some you know, royal whatever.

1623
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:20,479
Speaker 1: So but she this this this cousin almost discovers this

1624
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 1: secret pregnancy, so then they have to get Fiona back.

1625
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:30,320
Speaker 1: Sorry what did you say? Sorry? Gregnancy, thank you, You're welcome.

1626
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: So then they have to get Margaret's cousin Fiona back

1627
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 1: to pretend to actually, no, I don't This is that

1628
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 1: I've lost the thread. But basically there's something there. You

1629
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: get the four Vanessa Hudgens is I want Vanessa Hudgens

1630
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:53,760
Speaker 1: to give birth to another Vanessa Hudgens. Oh full of

1631
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 1: Vanessa size. They're like she or like one of the okay,

1632
01:41:56,920 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: whore's my pitch. Stacey lays an egg one day and

1633
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 1: she's like, oh my god, what is this? And then

1634
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: it's called It's called Princess Switched three, switched again again

1635
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 1: the Royal egg and uh, I'll butt an egg that

1636
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:14,200
Speaker 1: Stacy plays and she has to sit on the egg,

1637
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 1: and meanwhile Fiona and Margaret have to switch for some reason,

1638
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:19,479
Speaker 1: someone has to switch with Stacy. So now a different

1639
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:22,479
Speaker 1: Vanessa sitting on the egg, and all this stuff happens,

1640
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:25,560
Speaker 1: and then at the end, Edward eats a peanut and

1641
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:30,639
Speaker 1: he dies, and he dies, and just as he's dying,

1642
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: a fourth Vanessa Hudgens hatches out of the egg and

1643
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 1: then everyone has dad trauma. All the vanessas this state.

1644
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:43,759
Speaker 1: Is Stacy's father alive? Do we know? Does he forget?

1645
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if that if he ever gets brought up,

1646
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:50,839
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure. Well my pitches fourth Vanessa Hudgens

1647
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:55,479
Speaker 1: hatches out of an egg. Incredible. Let's pitch it to

1648
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: the most generic sounding production company in the world, most

1649
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:06,160
Speaker 1: picture corporation of our American of America, Motion Pictures, Chicago

1650
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: of America. I just have a couple last I mean,

1651
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:17,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about how trophy these movies tend to be.

1652
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,200
Speaker 1: Their trophy in this in the kind of Christmas movie sense,

1653
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 1: their trophy in the rom com sense. Part of that

1654
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:26,439
Speaker 1: is a makeover montage in which we get not one,

1655
01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 1: not two, but three different makeovers happening because of all

1656
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:34,640
Speaker 1: the switches I guess necessary to the plot. But is

1657
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: it um? But is it? Oh? Okay? A couple of

1658
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 1: notes on um Fiona, who again is the best character.

1659
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 1: At one point she gets into a convertible while it

1660
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:52,040
Speaker 1: is snowing with the top down and drives off in

1661
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: the snow with the top still down. Explain that I

1662
01:43:56,800 --> 01:44:02,719
Speaker 1: honestly did not even notice. Now I'll try to figure

1663
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,639
Speaker 1: out the time code for that because it's I must watch.

1664
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't even register the aggressive makeup or seeing

1665
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: thincause I think I'm so gas lit by this. Good call,

1666
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: Good call, um, Let me see, was there anything else?

1667
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 1: My last question I had This is kind of a

1668
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,360
Speaker 1: crossover question with our Christmas Princes two episode, But my

1669
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 1: question is what side of World War Two was Belgravia on.

1670
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 1: I could see it going either way. I don't know.

1671
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:36,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't trust I don't trust um.

1672
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:38,920
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why Vanessa wasn't upset that her father died.

1673
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 1: Maybe he was on the wrong side of World War Two.

1674
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:44,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. Who could be. Yeah, there's what's the

1675
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: history of this country? I feel like with Aldovia we

1676
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 1: get too much history in bait where, but their history

1677
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 1: is mostly related to curses and ghosts. But Belgrava, we

1678
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:56,360
Speaker 1: know nothing. You know nothing about the history of the

1679
01:44:56,880 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they had a pretty fashi history.

1680
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:02,680
Speaker 1: That's just my thought. We got we gotta get to

1681
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 1: the bottom of this. We got another year. We certainly do.

1682
01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: The movie does pass the Bechtel test, As we mentioned, However,

1683
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 1: nipple scale wise, Uh, what do you even do this?

1684
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:22,959
Speaker 1: I guess I would give it. This is too generous.

1685
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,120
Speaker 1: I will say this right now, but I will give

1686
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:28,080
Speaker 1: it one and a half because I was so passionate

1687
01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 1: about Fiona's character. I was genuinely like, I know, Vanessa Hudgens,

1688
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: there is a lot to criticize there, and also she

1689
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,840
Speaker 1: is terrible at apologizing when she sucks up. That said,

1690
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 1: her performance of Fiona is I think my favorite performance

1691
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 1: she's ever given. And I really was rooting for Fiona

1692
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 1: to steal Montenaro, and I thought she was like a

1693
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:57,479
Speaker 1: highly motivated even if the motivation made no sense, I

1694
01:45:57,640 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: was rooting for her. She was in she was in charge. Uh,

1695
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:06,400
Speaker 1: she didn't care if her family lived, her died. Like

1696
01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 1: I just was like, Wow, what what a compelling character.

1697
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:12,639
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give one and a half nipples

1698
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 1: exclusively for Fiona and also her two hunch people who

1699
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 1: were also icon One of the Mendi is wearing safety

1700
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:24,800
Speaker 1: pin earrings and they're I'm like, where can I buy those?

1701
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:29,680
Speaker 1: Um all very two thousands of yes. I would say

1702
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:34,960
Speaker 1: one of the better female movie villains I have seen

1703
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 1: really ever so yeah, especially I feel like there's not

1704
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 1: a lot of female Well this could this maybe isn't true,

1705
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:45,440
Speaker 1: but like in terms of like Christmas movie villains in particular,

1706
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: I feel like there's not a lot of female This

1707
01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 1: is so in the weeds, but like female Christmas movie villains,

1708
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of them. And and Fiona is

1709
01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:58,080
Speaker 1: an incredible one. She's so good, She's better than Simon.

1710
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, obviously. But it goes without saying so I

1711
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 1: was good. I mean, and when I have nipples generous, yes,

1712
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 1: I was going to give it to which is really

1713
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:11,840
Speaker 1: too generous, too nipples, I'll have it to two because

1714
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 1: when you do the math, two out of five is

1715
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: still which is an f that is a failing grade. Um,

1716
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 1: So I feel okay about that. But you know what,

1717
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 1: you're right, let's let's give let's give the full nip.

1718
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:30,800
Speaker 1: It's the holidays. Yeah, it's I'm feeling generous. Yeah, let's

1719
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,599
Speaker 1: right in that mood to nipples. Yeah, it's still rom

1720
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: com Christmas movie propaganda. It's very trophy. It's not well

1721
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:46,040
Speaker 1: written or thought out. The female characters are. Nothing really

1722
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 1: interesting is done with them, speaking specifically about Stacy and Margaret.

1723
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:54,000
Speaker 1: But I do really enjoy Fiona as a character, as

1724
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:59,720
Speaker 1: a villain. I think the movie was probably written in

1725
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 1: than a week, and then maybe that's why it's so sloppy.

1726
01:48:04,040 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: But I also am like it has to just be

1727
01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:09,400
Speaker 1: like no one, because I think that if you were

1728
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 1: going to write a movie that made this little sense

1729
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 1: on purpose, it would actually be really hard. You know,

1730
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 1: like maybe it would be easier to write a movie

1731
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 1: that sort of made sense in a week than write

1732
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:24,639
Speaker 1: a movie that makes no sense on purpose in a week,

1733
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:32,400
Speaker 1: which which supports the forty five minute draft hypothesis. I

1734
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 1: can see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's this movie isn't

1735
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:39,120
Speaker 1: contemptuous of women, but it just didn't try very hard.

1736
01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:44,639
Speaker 1: That said Fiona Pembroke contemptuous of father's it's really murdering

1737
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:49,639
Speaker 1: father's right and left. But I do love the Fiona character.

1738
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: Another really great female movie villain from Josie and the

1739
01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:59,080
Speaker 1: Pussycats is also named Fiona. Is it a trope? We'll

1740
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 1: find out? Um anyway, two nipples, uh, and I will

1741
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 1: give one to Fiona and I will give one to Reggie. Oh.

1742
01:49:10,200 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: I love what you and Reggie have. Um. I feel

1743
01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:15,640
Speaker 1: like he and I could be best friends. I'm just

1744
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:18,559
Speaker 1: obsessed with Fiona. It's not it's not okay, it's not right,

1745
01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:24,839
Speaker 1: but it is. Yeah, so here we are. Well that's

1746
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:29,719
Speaker 1: the end of the episode. So this needs to be said.

1747
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:32,360
Speaker 1: What else? We we said it all, We said it
