WEBVTT - The Princess Switch 2: Switched Again 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:03.920 On the bed Cast, the questions asked if movies have 0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:07.960 women and um, are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands, 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.399 or do they have individualism the patriarchy Zef and best 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:17.840 start changing it with the Bedel Cast. Hello, and welcome 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.639 to the Bechtel Cast. My name is Caitlin Darante and 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.840 my name is Jamie Loftus. Unless my name is Caitlin 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:31.280 Durante and and my name is actually Jamie Loftus. And 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.640 wait a minute, I just realized that we look exactly alike. 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:40.120 Oh my god. We should do some royal hijinks your 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.519 you should do some royal hijinks, and then I'll just 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.400 have sex with your friend. I think that's how the 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:50.360 first one goes, right. Basically, not the worst deal in 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.880 the world. This is well, we'll go to the Bechtel Cast. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.240 This is our show where we take your favorite movies 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:03.120 and analyze them using an intersection feminist lens, using the 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.200 Bechdel test, which is I don't I bet neither. I've 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:11.040 had none of the Vanessa hudgens is. Know what this 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.200 damn test is? But what is it? Calin for the 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.800 sake of fullness and clarity, it is a media metric 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.319 created by queer cartoonists Alison Bechdel, sometimes called the Bechdel 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.959 Wallace test, and there are many variations, And here is ours. 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.840 Two people of a marginalized gender have to have names, 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.600 they have to speak to each other, and their conversation 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.880 has to be about something other than a man for 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:45.039 two lines of dialogue, and ideally that conversation is narratively significant. 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.920 Make of that what you will? You know it when 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.720 you hear it. And in the case of this movie, 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.320 as you'll hear in the episode, Uh, you know, there's 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.240 a lot of Vanessa hudgens Is talking to Vanessa hudgens Is. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.240 It's not that big of a problem. There are three 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:05.000 many Vanessa hudgens Is and they're all talking to each other. Yeah. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.280 And if you thought that my British accent I just 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.720 did was offensive, wait till you hear her. Hear her 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:15.200 as maybe you are just not gonna like it. Um, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.200 So we're we're this this episode you're about to hear 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:23.400 it was recorded last year for our Patreon aka Matreon. 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.600 So you'll notice it's just me and Caitlin. We're keeping 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.240 it loose. We kind of let it all hang out 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.520 on the Matreon. I would say about eight of this 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.600 episode is just us recapping the movie that will happen. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:43.200 We're discussing things throughout the recap, but the recap takes 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.840 a long time, and honestly, you're welcome. Yeah, it's it's 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.880 we go to the Matreon to really vibrate on a 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.840 different frequency where it's the format is technically the same, 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.720 and yet there is this, um, this wild, reckless abandoned 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.919 that you bring there. So if you are and if 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:06.639 you enjoyed this, please go over and join the Matrion community. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.680 It is such a fun, like life, affirm and cool 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.720 space to hang out in.

This 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.640 month we're doing two of our most popular requests that, 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.519 for whatever reason, we never got around too. Um. They're 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.519 both rom coms that It's You've Got Male, which we've 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.120 been getting really lovely feedback about. I've been very happy about. Yes, 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.120 yes we have. Yeah, not a brag person listening that 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.280 isn't a member of the matrio. Hut, we're so good 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.960 at our jobs. Wow, we really pulled one out this time. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.680 And we're also doing How to Lose a Guy in 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:53.080 Ten Days, which I canonically recognize as a Catherine Han vehicle, 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.040 although you know, maybe the poster is telling you a 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.920 different story. Fair fair. I see it as a Thomas 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.800 Lennon piece myself, but oh my god, his outfit in 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.600 that movie. I'm like, who addressed this? Poor man? I 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.440 love Tomlin and why did they do that to him? 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.640 That's not nice. In any case, this is from the 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.320 Matreon and we're doing this, you know, technically an observation 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.840 of it's not for many. Vanessa Hudgens is the problem. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.400 There's still three of them, so it's kind of three 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:30.000 minute three many Vanessa Hudgens too, but it's separate the 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.640 switch to three Yes, which I believe is being released 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.320 on Netflix the very same day that this episode is 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.200 being unlocked from the Matreon and put on our main feed. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.920 They really missed an opportunity to include more Vanessa Hudgens 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.919 is in this sequel. At some point, I'm like, I 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.880 wonder if she was, like I don't think so, because 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.680 there were I think we talked about it in this episode. 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.360 She's done interviews where she was like, oh, the next 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.320 one should be Scottish and it's like, well, let's look 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.919 at the accents you're already doing and maybe reassess. But 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.080 I'm open to a fourth, uh, in so many ways, 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.839 but in in terms of Vanessa hudgens Is, I'm open 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.440 to a fourth for sure, but it's not happening. But however, 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.440 we will be covering The Princess Switched three on the Matreon, 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.040 speaking of the Matreon in December, So if you're loving 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.280 this and you're like, wow, I'm really on a journey, 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.360 you can go back to our Matreon to listen to 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:31.280 our very intellectual genius quite honestly thoughts on the Princess 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.760 Switch one and then very soon on the Princess Switched three. 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.719 And if you like Netflix Christmas movies, we've also done 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:42.599 all three, all of the Christmas Princes, and that is 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.640 a burden we took on for you. So yeah, get ready, 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.520 it's our our holiday movie block on the Bechdel Cast 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.200 is room room room rev reev reving up um and 0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:02.240 enjoy this unlocked Matreon episode The Princess which to enjoy cast. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:09.400 Hello matrons, Happy holiday. It's that time of year when 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:16.480 we cover terrible Netflix original Christmas movies. I forget. Did 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.120 we talk last year about the extended universe that Netflix 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:24.360 has confirmed. I don't. I meant to go back and 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:28.839 listen to the other Princess Switch and Christmas Prince movies 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.720 we've covered. I like, wanted to listen back to those 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.600 episodes and rewatch those movies, but I simply didn't have 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.520 time for any of it. I rewatched, watched all the 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.119 Princess Witches and all the Christmas Princes because I needed 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.919 an excuse to, of course. But did did you I 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.640 don't know. I don't think that we did. I didn't 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.880 listen to the real listen to the episodes. I don't 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.320 think we did talk last year about how all the 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.840 movies are confirmed happening in the same universe, which is 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.039 further depending how you look at it, either confirmed or 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:08.880 complicated by what happens in Princess Switch Switched again, because 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:15.680 it would seem that it contradicts. Okay, so this is 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.880 a matron. This is obviously the Bectel cast Matreon we're 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:23.360 doing Princess Switch to. I thought the movie was essentially 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.080 a delight. Well, sorry, first, we have to the full 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.800 the full title Princess Switched to three Money. Vanessa Hudgens 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.520 is three many Yeah, too many. Hudgens is is um 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.960 is the general vibe. I love that they just called 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:43.160 it switched again. The real titles the Princess Switch Switched Again, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:48.880 which is um so lazy, so incredibly lazy. Uh. You 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.160 really almost admire it. I fully admire it. I'm like, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.440 oh this this uh, this movie has no doubt of 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.760 what it is, which is extremely lazy, but but so okay. 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:07.080 So the Netflix Christmas Universe, which is a confirmed thing, 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.640 includes oh my god, there's literally a chart. Have you 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.680 seen this? Have you seen this chart? Okay, Okay, you 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.000 gotta see this chart. Okay. So it essentially connects the 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:25.480 Christmas Prince uh saga series, yes, all the various Princess switches, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.960 as well as The Night Before Christmas, which was Vanessa 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:34.040 Hudgens's last year Christmas effort, yes, which we almost covered 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:39.480 and made a last minute switch well switched again. Uh. 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.840 Then there's also a movie called The Holiday Calendar from 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.080 that I haven't seen, a movie called Christmas Inheritance, from 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:52.000 which I unfortunately have seen, and a movie called Holiday 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.040 in the Wild, which I also have seen, and I'm 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.920 pretty sure is that the who's in that? It's like 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.720 it's actually like some famous people right Holiday in the Wild. Yeah, 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.200 isn't that the guy's name? Who was in Rob Blow? 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.199 Is that that one? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's the Christin 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.439 Davis Roblow? Yeah. Yeah, sorry, I've seen so many of these. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.719 I'm like, honestly, and the names are also familiar. They like, 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.959 I don't want to confirm something I can't guarantee. Kristin 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.120 Davis and Rob Blow. So that's a bigger budget one, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.920 not very popular. I don't think really anybody necessarily watched it. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.320 Not a lot of high Yeah. I skipped that one, 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.319 but it is. And then and then now this year 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.720 there was a movie called Operation Christmas Drop, which is 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:37.520 military propaganda that is Christmas. There's also The Christmas Chronicles, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.680 which is, um, what's his face as Santa Claus? Yeah? 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.560 What is his face? And goldie hat? His face? What 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:49.320 is his face? I never Kurt Russell? Kurt Russell, Yeah, yeah, 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.640 Kurt Russell. I'm like, but like, also, okay, maybe this 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.839 is controversial, but like, who the fuck is Kurt Russell? Um? 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.280 What was he in that? I would know that you 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.000 would know, probably not a lot. Okay, See, he got 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.840 big in the eighties and then like a lot of 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.720 his most famous movies were from the eighties and nineties, 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.080 and I mean he's still around obviously, But also I 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.640 always get him confused with early Patrick Swayzy, and I 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.400 feel like there's someone else who I get him confused with. Two. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.400 I'm sure I haven't seen The Christmas Chronicles, but either way, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.640 the Christmas Chronicles are a Netflix Christmas movie, but they're 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.120 not in the Netflix Christmas universe. I see so all 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.439 of the Netflix Christmas Universe. I'm pretty sure. I mean, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.720 it's a vague qualifier, but I'm pretty sure that you 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.280 have to it has to be like a clear Hallmark 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.400 rip off, which Christmas Chronicles isn't. Uh. And then Jingle Jangle, 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.840 which I did see and it was pretty good for 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.360 us Forest whinnakers. In it, he's saying Christmas Chronicles was 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.080 not bad. I'm you know, it's whatever. It's you know, 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.360 kind of like a turn your brain off and hope 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:02.040 for the best season movie wise. But Jingle Jangle, I 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:06.320 had had some catchy tunes, some real catchy tunes, but 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.880 it's not but it's not included in this universe. It's 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.480 I think this is like the overly romantic, confusing Hallmark 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:18.520 rip off Extended Universe that's occasionally nationalist propaganda in the 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:23.880 case of Operation Christmas Drop. Um. So, anyways, last year 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:29.360 Netflix confirmed the Netflix Holiday Movie Universe is the official title. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.560 And I'll just unpack this chart and then we'll get 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.760 to before we start talking about Princess, which switched again. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:41.520 How Princess switch switched again is maybe the most integral 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.200 piece to this puzzle yet. So okay, it's like the 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.480 keystone that holds the whole arch together. And maybe I 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.840 mean I haven't I bear I was like only half 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.800 watching Holiday in the Wild, and I haven't seen the 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.440 Holiday Calendar, but it seems like it connects a lot 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.200 of movies together in ways that are exclusively confusing. So 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.240 here's here's an overview of the chart. We'll we'll link this. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.200 It's like a tweet from Netflix. So it starts with 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.240 the Christmas Prince seen gets everything started. And I think 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.520 these are all basically made by the same production company, 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:17.560 which doesn't hurt um. So a Christmas Prince is shown 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:22.240 on a TV in both the Holiday calendar and it's 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:27.160 also if you recall Vanessa Hudgens watches Chris the Christmas 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:33.199 Prince in the first Princess Switch. So as ofen when 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.040 the Princess Okay, I'm like literally sound like that. Um 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:42.480 it's always sunny meme with the board okay, um. So 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.760 as the Princess Switch, A Christmas Prince is a movie 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.480 that exists in the world of the Princess Switch on Netflix. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.679 It was like a product placement moment. We were like, 0:12:52.760 --> 0:13:00.400 t he okay, Aldovia from A Christmas Prince, the fictional country. 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:05.199 I'm familiar. Just there's five trillion countries that border Lithuania apparently, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.920 and Aldovia is one of them. Whatever the Princess Switch 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.840 countries are anyways, Aldovia is mentioned in The Night Before Christmas. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.960 So in the Night Before Christmas World, Aldovia is an 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.400 actual place, but in a Princess Switch the Princess Switch world, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.679 it is not a real place. It's a Netflix movie. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.600 It's a fictional place where a movie the Vanessa Hudgens 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:33.679 watches takes place. Make it makes sense, Um, okay. Christmas 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.680 Inheritance A Christmas Inheritance is shown on a TV in 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.800 both the holiday calendar and in the Princess Switch. Holiday 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.760 in the Wild is shown on a TV in the 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.520 Night before Christmas, so in the Night before Christmas, a 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.280 Christmas Prince is a real thing in the world. But 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.120 Holiday in the Wild with Christi David's and Reblo, that's 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:59.320 still fictional and on Netflix. And then apparently I don't 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.720 remember that because by the time, honestly, the last in 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.800 this marathon, the last movie I watched was Christmas Prince 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:10.319 Royal Baby, and I was just my brain was skunked, 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.040 so I wasn't looking for this reference. But apparently the 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.439 Princess Switched, the country from the Princess Switch is referenced 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.680 in the third Christmas Prince movie. So now things get 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.160 a little complicated because we were told in twenty eighteen 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.160 that A Christmas Prince is just a Netflix movie. But 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:34.240 then over in Aldovia, the Princess Switch country is Cannon, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:39.760 so because it's bell Belgravia and or Montenaro, because those 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.040 are like the two countries in Princess Switch. Right right, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.960 I'm going to keep mixing up the names. So bell Gravya, 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.080 I believe, is mentioned in A Christmas Prince Royal Baby. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.320 But at that point, as of last year. A Christmas 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.840 Prince Aldovia is fictional to Vanessa Hudgens, But Vanessa Hudgens 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:01.520 is very real too, Amber and who are they that 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:08.040 guy Richard Richard Um, So that's confusing, and then things 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.840 get even more confusing. So basically it seems like they 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:17.240 shouldn't have put Christmas princes on TV in the Princess 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.240 Switch because now they wanted to all be real. Because 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:25.160 at the end of fucking my Princess Switch switched again, 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:30.000 Princess Switch switched again, Amber and Richard are at the 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:34.200 coronation for what's her name, Margaret A few things about that. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:40.280 When they popped up on Princess Switch with their royal 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:46.040 baby ugly, I meant royal. Um. When that happened in 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.280 Princess Switch to Switched Again, I was in my apartment 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:57.040 by myself, and I screamed. I was like, yes, tie too, shrieked. 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.840 It was like hold on, and then I had to 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.560 go back to the chart, like it how could that 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:08.200 be true if we were and um, I don't know. 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:09.800 I don't know how that could be true. I have 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:14.760 a theory. Okay, yes, the movie that Vanessa Hudgens is 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.200 watching in the first Princess s Witch movie that is 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:26.360 about Amber and Richard's actually a Documentary's watching a documentary? Okay, 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.200 got it? Yeah, grape minds think alike. Yeah, I think 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.360 that she just must have been watching, like maybe it 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.160 was like a sixty minutes special or just like a 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.440 poorly produced I thought that too, But then I went 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.440 back and watched the scene from Princess Switch and I'm like, no, 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.320 she literally had Vanessa Hudgens has the same Netflix as 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.360 you or I, and it's presented the same way, and 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.800 she literally watches a scene from Our Christmas Prince and 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:55.800 so too. I'm like, reporting instincts, and so if A 0:16:55.880 --> 0:17:00.160 Christmas Prince is documentary, so okay, if A Christmas Into 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.840 is a documentary for Vanessa Hudgens, then it's also a 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:09.960 documentary for us. And that could be true. That could 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:11.719 very well be true. I think that they're just and 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:13.959 someone I wanted to shout out a tweet that made 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.160 me laugh so much from Ica delian Um. From at 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:23.600 delian ica Um, she tweeted, oh my god, Vanessa Hudgens 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:27.040 is the Robert Downey Jr. Of the Netflix Christmas Cinematic universe, 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.200 and it's true because of iron Man, because like iron 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.360 Man kicked everything off, and is I know no, well, 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.760 I well know, because Vanessa Hudgens didn't kick everything off. 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:38.720 But I think we can all agree she has more, 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.320 you know, she has she has a little more charisma 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:47.719 than the Princess Ambert and all offense. Um. But then, okay, 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.600 other things we need to talk about before we talked 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.199 about the movie. Okay, sorry, I'm like too prepared for 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.720 this episode. Uh, really down in the dumps and really 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.320 needed this. Um. Hey. So the other thing is I 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.560 feel like we should do a Vanessa Hudgens update because 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:11.240 she has had a very problematic, tumultuous a few years really, 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.320 but like especially she We're not going to get too 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.480 into it here. Uh, but she did. If you remember, 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:22.840 about nine months ago, she famously went live on Instagram 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.639 and said a whole bunch of insensitive things about coronavirus 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.120 and was basically the gist of it was Vanessa Hudgens 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:35.040 has no regard for human life, which was upsetting then. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.159 And I honestly, it has been such a year that 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.600 I kind of forgot and then I was like, wait, 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.480 we're mad at Vanessa Hudgens, what did she do again? 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.320 And I was like, oh, she said she literally has 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.360 no regard for human life. So that's something to keep 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:52.119 in mind. Yes, that said Robert Downey Jr. You know, 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.600 has also done some pretty messed up stuff in his life, 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.719 so maybe that's the connection. They don't have a regret. 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.200 I don't know that much about Robert Jr. I just 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.439 wanted to, um, you know, we are aware that Vanessa 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:10.680 Hudgens is problematic and also just like a weird person, 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.800 Like she will like pop up in my trending topics 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.120 every once in a while, and it's always just like 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:20.639 I just don't understand, Like why can't celebrities just like 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.320 log out? Like Vanessa Hudgens has more money than God, 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.960 Like she has a million a million year deal signed 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.760 in blood with Netflix, Like why can't she just like 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.760 not go live on Instagram. That will never make sense 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.159 to me because she just is always live on Instagram 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:43.080 doing in that one case very like stream of consciousness, 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.080 insensitive rant and then in other cases she's just doing 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:51.760 weird stuff. And you're just like Vanessa, like call your 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.080 like friend or something, call Zack, Like I don't know 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.439 what you need to do, but like, I want no 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:02.040 part of this. So Vanessa Hudgens is an firmed, questionable 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:11.080 weirdo is my is my take on the age. But 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.920 then so, so we're going into Prince just to set 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.359 up the mindset of where we're going into Princess Switched 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.840 to Switched again. I have to suspend my upset with 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.760 Vanessa Hudgens because I do have to watch this movie, 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.560 not just because this is our job, but also because 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.240 I just like, I have to watch this movie. It's 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.720 I have to know what happens. And Princess switched to 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.439 Switch it again, I understand. And I have to know 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:44.840 what the third Vanessa Hudgins is like. And I loved 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:50.080 the third Vanessa Hudgens. Oh my gosh, she's so awesome. 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.280 I love her. She's a sloppy bitch and I love her. 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.720 That was Okay, that was all of my pre curs 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.359 started talking about. Okay, I'm gonna shut up for the 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:05.360 rest of the episode because that was a lot. But oh, 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.760 and then also there's some connection in the third one 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:12.120 to like, oh, I guess there's four shots. I missed 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:16.119 this on my watch of the movie. But per the 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.600 clickbait rounds that happened every year around these movies a 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:25.280 grand tradition. There is a slight possible, maybe sort of 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.920 hint that there's going to be I mean, of course 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.160 there's going to be a movie with a fourth Vanessa Hudgens. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.400 I have a pitch for it that I'll reveal at 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.560 some point in this episode. Hell, yes, I did a 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.120 little bit of recessor this is so embarrassing, Um, there 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:44.280 was there. Vanessa Hudgens has been very like dodgy about 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.480 whether there's going to be a third or a third 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.000 one with a fourth Vanessa Hudgens. That's never gonna get easier. 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:54.720 She's been dodgy about that. Um. But then she said 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.720 in like an interview, She's like, I don't know, but 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.000 maybe the next Vanessa Hudgens will have a Scottish accent. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:04.640 And everyone's like, what that's weird. Um, it's confident Vanessa 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:09.200 Hudgens can pull off. She do three accents, which includes 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:13.119 one that is just her regular speaking voice. Um, she 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:18.080 can barely talk. Um okay, so, but but I think 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.720 it's it's been hinted at at some point in this 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.480 Princess which that the fourth Vanessa Hudgens is going to 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:29.040 be her character from A Night Before Christmas, therefore tying 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:36.480 in that whole thing, which would be kind of genius. Yes, 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.000 that wouldn't have even occurred to me to do that, 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.159 but that's also the perfect choice to make. There's already 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:46.359 a fourth Vanessa Hudgens on the table, and she already 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:51.920 has experience kissing a Royal night royal figure Corport pattents 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:55.879 and look alike. She already has been making out with 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.760 this Robert Pattinson impersonator for you know, two years, yes, 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.240 on screen, so she she has the experience. That character 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:07.080 is ripe to be a part of this franchise. Was 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:11.159 that character's name? Was it like Brooke that I'm just 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.520 spitballing here. I don't remember. I watched that movie last 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.560 year when it got released. The only thing I remember 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:19.760 about it is there is a plot which and then 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:23.240 there is like random time travel and there's this like 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:27.600 fish out of water like Middle Ages night who shows up? 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.800 And yeah, I don't I I did not enjoy that. 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:32.920 That one wasn't my favorite, which is weird because it's 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:35.600 on Rotten Tomatoes. It's one of the highest rate of 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:39.359 Netflix Christmas movies. I like it has a lot of 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:42.199 the elements for a movie that I enjoy with, like 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.639 the time travel and the Fish out of Water and that, 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.480 but like I just didn't addn't know the some of 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.320 its parts. Yeah, I just didn't add up to anything 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:54.800 that I thought was great. Also, and her name was Brooke. Wow, Wow, 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:58.920 good memory. That was a total mistake. There was also 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:03.480 um someone was mentioning I'll link. I've read so many pieces, 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.240 I'm sorry, Like I can't really distinguish one writer from another. 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:10.520 But someone mentioned in their piece from this year that 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:14.640 this production company, which is called MPC A that produces 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:19.880 most of these movies, they must have some connection to Chicago, 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:24.520 because all of these movies are vaguely related to Chicago, 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.960 Like there's always someone is from Chicago. And then do 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:30.840 you remember in the first Christmas Prince movie there's an 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.600 establishing shot of Chicago, but then they're in New York, 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:37.160 like there's they're obsessed with Chicago. They show the Chicago 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:40.399 River and then there and then it was like pizza 0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:45.320 Like You're like I'm walking here. You're like, that's not Chicago. 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:50.080 Also doesn't doesn't the company name stand for something like 0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:56.600 motion Picture Company of America, something so generic and Corporation 0:24:56.680 --> 0:25:02.960 of America, just like you, is a fake company. The 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.600 history of this company is also very weird. Okay, so 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:12.240 they were. It was established in the year I was born. 0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:18.280 Thank you, brave Um. Good luck topping this incredible life 0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.800 that the Motion Picture Corporation of America's who who did 0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:26.560 it better? They did? Who did life Better? Founded in 0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:31.400 n much like caitlin Um, they made a bunch of 0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.720 crappy movies that didn't do well, and then they made 0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:39.479 Dumb and Dumber and so that's no good. Uh. And 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:46.760 then they were acquired and then fifteen years passes, and 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:51.440 then they made Beverly Hills Chihuahua too, and then they 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:55.560 started making Netflix Christmas movies and that's that's their life. 0:25:55.840 --> 0:26:02.160 Wild really make it makes sense? I I don't know. 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.800
