Speaker 1: Toss Popcorn is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Sietta.
Speaker 3: Jacob and I'm Leanna Holsten.
Speaker 2: And welcome to Toss Popcorn, the podcast where two idiots
Speaker 2: watched every film on the AFI's one hundred Greatest American
Speaker 2: Movies of All Time, the very slightly less racist tenth
Speaker 2: Anniversary edition, and are now watching films of our own
Speaker 2: and listeners, choosing or that have been in the zeitgeist,
Speaker 2: and mainly that are directed by women. Even if we're
Speaker 2: not feeling well.
Speaker 3: This podcast is a safe friendship for people who don't
Speaker 3: know anything about movies. Today we're watching Past Lives and
Speaker 3: Cream in a language that I can't understand, a film
Speaker 3: neither of us had seen.
Speaker 2: Correct question Mark had been meaning to.
Speaker 3: You're right this morning there will be spoilers about this
Speaker 3: recent film.
Speaker 2: Well, while I was getting I can say some things now,
Speaker 2: which is while I was gathering my notes for this,
Speaker 2: I started tearing.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, all right, Sienna, can I please hear
Speaker 3: your prediction for Past Lives?
Speaker 2: Yes, I have COVID nineteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay here warning, Sienna has COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2: Hi, Leonna, this is Sienna. Yeah, I'm sick, but I'm
Speaker 2: about to watch Past Lives. My guess about this movie
Speaker 2: is it'll be what you thought. I think what you
Speaker 2: thought the Holiday would be, where it kind of goes
Speaker 2: through different points in time, maybe so quiet right now
Speaker 2: or so loud. I have no idea I can really hear.
Speaker 2: I could not hear that. Oh, I predict maybe it'll
Speaker 2: be about a couple going through different phases, which I
Speaker 2: think is already a movie with Anne Hathaway called like
Speaker 2: One Day or some one Day anyway. Or maybe it'll
Speaker 2: go through different like lives of people, like they have
Speaker 2: the same soul reincarnation sort of thing. That'd be cool too.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I predict someone's brother as a character.
Speaker 2: I don't know why predict it. Okay, I love you, goodbye.
Speaker 2: I had a strong sense that someone would be like,
Speaker 2: and this is my brother.
Speaker 3: Is there a brother? There's not a brother in the film?
Speaker 3: Is there not a brother to be? No brothers, no
Speaker 3: brothers at all.
Speaker 2: I couldn't have been more wrong. Early.
Speaker 3: Hey, here's my prediction.
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 3: Hi, Sienna, it's Leanna. I am about to watch Past Lives.
Speaker 3: I've never seen this before.
Speaker 2: I've been meaning to.
Speaker 3: So I'm excited. Question like, but I predict it will
Speaker 3: be causing me to feel emotions.
Speaker 2: Let me die. Oh okay, that's all, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, forder for sure. Well, it might be causing
Speaker 2: me to feel emotions, which.
Speaker 3: I might be prompted to feel emotions as a result
Speaker 3: of this, and I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: Oh hey girl, Hey, let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: So, hey girl, so you have COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2: Here's what happened, all right, In the words of Adrian Monk,
Speaker 2: here's what happened. Yeah, yeah, I decided to be social
Speaker 2: this holiday season. I actually stayed a little longer than
Speaker 2: expected so I could go to my partner Kelsey's stayed
Speaker 2: in LA. Stayed in La a little longer. I was
Speaker 2: gonna leave on like the fifteenth or the sixteenth or something,
Speaker 2: but I decided to leave on the nineteenth, just a
Speaker 2: few more days, which just sort of opened up the
Speaker 2: possibility to go to a few more events. And the
Speaker 2: whole point was that I was going to go to
Speaker 2: this his office holiday party, which remember we talked about
Speaker 2: last time, Like an office holiday party sounds amazing. Last week,
Speaker 2: I was so excited to go. Well. I went to
Speaker 2: a few events. I went specifically to this improv holiday
Speaker 2: get together, and this is where we think something happened
Speaker 2: because it was just a gathering of lots of people
Speaker 2: screaming at each other's faces, and the timeline matches up.
Speaker 2: But yeah, a few days later, I was feeling a
Speaker 2: little off. I actually slept till two pm one day,
Speaker 2: and I was like, that's crazy. I'm so irresponsible. But
Speaker 2: now looking back, it's like, hmm, was my body fighting
Speaker 2: something off?
Speaker 3: But yeah, the novel coronavirus perhaps.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I was feeling okay, but like maybe a little
Speaker 2: cold coming on. Just fine, But again, looking back, there
Speaker 2: were a few days where like I went to a
Speaker 2: cookie party and then I was supposed to go to
Speaker 2: drinks afterward, and I was like, Hey, do you guys
Speaker 2: think I can wear sweats like my pajama pants that
Speaker 2: I'm wear into this cookie party? Do you think I
Speaker 2: could wear them to the drinks? And They're all like no, haha,
Speaker 2: And I was like ha ha, because the idea of
Speaker 2: putting on pants right now sounds absolutely insurmountable. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: which again is making sense. But I didn't feel sick,
Speaker 2: sick until this one night, I became extremely hot and achy,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh no, well and so then
Speaker 2: the next morning I noticed, I remembered I had a
Speaker 2: COVID test in my room, and I was like, well, yes,
Speaker 2: I'll take this. I take it. It lights up red
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you're lying. Oh my god, I can't
Speaker 2: be true. I have not heard of anybody in my
Speaker 2: community having the coronavirus right now. Yeah, but yeah, it
Speaker 2: got me good. I took two more tests after that
Speaker 2: because I was so in denial because I had so
Speaker 2: many plants. Yeah, oh no, So did you not get
Speaker 2: to go to the holiday party? Did not go to
Speaker 2: the holiday party? I missed the holiday party?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I oh my god, so sad. That's like the number
Speaker 2: one thing I missed.
Speaker 3: Your prediction that you'll never go to an office holiday
Speaker 3: party has come true.
Speaker 2: What's also funny is that Kelsey and I have been
Speaker 2: trying to do karaoke together for like two year years now,
Speaker 2: and every single time it's thwarted in some way. And
Speaker 2: it's starting to become like like this was like an
Speaker 2: act of God right to give me the Corona.
Speaker 3: Universes, like do not somehow escape rooms cannot break you,
Speaker 3: but a karaoke night would ruin your relationship.
Speaker 2: Well, I just want everybody out there to remember to
Speaker 2: get boosted, to get back to the vaccine. I was
Speaker 2: vaccinated this year. But yeah, this is my second time
Speaker 2: getting COVID and second time getting it on Mike. Last night. Actually,
Speaker 2: I had a wonderful time where I realized I could
Speaker 2: go outside, and I sat out on the porch and
Speaker 2: I wrapped gifts and I just sat up there for
Speaker 2: probably like seven hours, and I had a wonderful time.
Speaker 3: Wow. Yes, convalescing. I was kind of going back there. Yes,
Speaker 3: Beth mode. Oh wow, I love that. I really love that. Well,
Speaker 3: I have to go Beth mode, going Beth mode.
Speaker 2: I'm going bell but going outside and still having the
Speaker 2: best time, even though you have.
Speaker 3: To going Beth mode. You know, death is looming. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And one final thing I'll say that will come up
Speaker 2: in this very episode is that because I've been in
Speaker 2: my room looking for things to do, I've found some
Speaker 2: things in my room, including I found some old hard
Speaker 2: drives that I've been looking for, which thank god, oh
Speaker 2: my god, oh my god, I hadn't lost lost them,
Speaker 2: but I was just like, where are they?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: And I on there was an old reflection about my
Speaker 2: first love, and it was like incredibly melancholy and intense,
Speaker 2: and oh my god, oh my god. Can I watch
Speaker 2: this movie the next day?
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh my god, whoa.
Speaker 2: And also, may I say it was very well written.
Speaker 2: I could not believe that it was from college also,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, obviously I was spending no time doing
Speaker 2: my work in college. My god, what an incredible writer
Speaker 2: when I was just writing about the things I was
Speaker 2: interested in. Anyway.
Speaker 3: Wow, well, everybody, you've heard it here first from our
Speaker 3: COVID nineteen correspondence Sienna. We will of course post her
Speaker 3: reflection on her first love on oor Instagram channel no no, no,
Speaker 3: no no, one screenshot at a time, one now, one,
Speaker 3: twelve years from now, and four years from now.
Speaker 2: Wow. Leanna, hey girl, thank you for listening to all that.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, thank you for telling me how's it
Speaker 3: going on. I'm sorry to say I did laugh when
Speaker 3: I got your text message saying I have COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I just it tickles me how you always call it
Speaker 3: COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2: Do I have the coronavirus? That is what it is.
Speaker 3: But it is just so funny to say the full
Speaker 3: formal name of it.
Speaker 2: I have it.
Speaker 3: I have the novel Coronavirus? And also like, what why
Speaker 3: did I get this? Literally, no one else I know
Speaker 3: has it? Wow? How a girl? Oh fine, I'm going
Speaker 3: back to I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: There's nothing really to tell you. Oh my god, Oh
Speaker 3: my god. Oh eight years of friendship and it's finally happened.
Speaker 3: We've run out of things to talk about.
Speaker 2: Oh when you called this podcast a safe friendship, also,
Speaker 2: that actually is what this podcast is. It's sort of
Speaker 2: a podcast, but it's mostly a friendship, a safe friendship
Speaker 2: that you get to listen to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, Yeah, this is our way of making sure
Speaker 3: we talk once a week.
Speaker 2: We started a business.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Do you have any questions? Yeah, okay, let's see. Have
Speaker 2: you been to any Christmas markets? We were talking about that.
Speaker 3: Last Oh, yes, yes, I went to a couple of
Speaker 3: Christmas markets on Saturday.
Speaker 2: I do have another It was hell, really, it was
Speaker 2: hell on Earth?
Speaker 3: Why oh it was the pits of Hell. No. I
Speaker 3: took the bus to central London, Trafalgar Square in front
Speaker 3: of the National Gallery in the center of damn London
Speaker 3: where there's a Christmas market and the throngs I had
Speaker 3: to fight my way through in order to get to
Speaker 3: the giant broughtworst stand. That's all you want to not
Speaker 3: buy anything because it was brought worst. Yeah, candy brought worst.
Speaker 3: I'm a damn vegetarian, right right, right right. The word
Speaker 3: throngs was invented to describe this very situation. It was thronging.
Speaker 3: So then I went across the river to a different
Speaker 3: Christmas market that was lest thronged. I swam across the Thames.
Speaker 3: I forded the Thames to go to a different Christmas market,
Speaker 3: arrived stopping wet, and I bought myself a mulled wine.
Speaker 3: And I've been doing this thing recently where I'll get
Speaker 3: two beverages at once because I know I want to
Speaker 3: over the course of an evening and I don't feel
Speaker 3: like waiting in line again. Thank you, I'll just have.
Speaker 2: The two beverages.
Speaker 3: I got a regular mulled wine and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's a Saturday, I'll splurge. I got a large spiced
Speaker 3: cider with dark.
Speaker 2: Rum in it, which I was amazing.
Speaker 3: It was like I thought I was picking the vein
Speaker 3: of spiced cider. But it turned out I was getting
Speaker 3: a spiced cider with an extra shot of rum added
Speaker 3: to it. And then I was just coosuded at this
Speaker 3: Christmas market and wandering along the Thames. I want you
Speaker 3: for like a mile and a half.
Speaker 2: I want to remind you at this time, hmm, how
Speaker 2: different this is from Los Angeles. And I know, I
Speaker 2: know that there are downsides, but like, honey, soak it.
Speaker 2: Because I put on a sweater today to go move
Speaker 2: my car and I went outside it and it was
Speaker 2: sweltering hot, and I was like, what are we It's horrible.
Speaker 2: What are we doing. You can't just like go get
Speaker 2: zooited by the Thames over here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't. You get high. You could get high
Speaker 3: by the La River, which is the worst thing I
Speaker 3: could possibly imagine.
Speaker 2: It is the worst thing I could possibly imagine. Like
Speaker 2: that is what you are living it up over there,
Speaker 2: and I know it has its own things, but wow.
Speaker 3: It's got its own things.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that was really it ended up being a lovely evening.
Speaker 3: After I survived the throngs. Yeah, the throngs, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I went to Saint Paul's Cathedral and I just took
Speaker 3: some photos of it. Ah, I'm like a peasant in
Speaker 3: the past, Like I just spend my evenings like just
Speaker 3: kind of like wandering.
Speaker 2: Around yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Themes and observing the architecture. You know how peasants would
Speaker 3: do architecture.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they'd wander around to look at the architecture.
Speaker 3: They'd spend pounds on a wild wine and a sighter.
Speaker 2: They look at architecture.
Speaker 3: Super peasant.
Speaker 2: We're I guess we're probably past Christmas on the pod
Speaker 2: now a New Year's Eve in a past year. Well,
Speaker 2: I need to know. Have you gotten gifts for people?
Speaker 2: How's that going? Oh? Should I get you a gift?
Speaker 2: Do you want something? Okay? Listeners.
Speaker 3: Siena got me an incredibly thoughtful, adorable gift and I've
Speaker 3: got her nothing.
Speaker 2: It helped. I had an Etsy gift card and this
Speaker 2: was a UK vendor. It all worked out.
Speaker 3: Okay, great, okay, good, that's all.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I will not be getting you anything as long as
Speaker 3: you I ordered. As long as you love them, that's
Speaker 3: all I care I do. They're in my I have
Speaker 3: a little corner of little guys in our and they're
Speaker 3: in my little guy corners. We'll upload a photo of
Speaker 3: the little guys for everybody to see. I I ordered
Speaker 3: something for my brother, but it's cutting it real close
Speaker 3: to whether it arrives before I fly home.
Speaker 2: Every time you've we've talked about Christmas presents, you I've
Speaker 2: bought your brother something on like Christmas Eve or like
Speaker 2: the day after Christmas. Like I just told him I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get him this thing, and I ordered it.
Speaker 3: I print out a photo of it, and I'm probably
Speaker 3: gonna have to do that again this year, even though
Speaker 3: this year I ordered it on like the fifteenth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sucks.
Speaker 3: But apparently it's coming from Latvia, which was news. It
Speaker 3: was a die co dot UK website that I ordered
Speaker 3: it from, and then it was like, your item.
Speaker 2: Has shipped from Latvia. I was like, well, no, h
Speaker 2: this is my impression of you ordering that. This is
Speaker 2: what I imagine Latvia. Is that right? That's exactly right.
Speaker 3: Ah. So every day I check my mail to see
Speaker 3: if anything from Latvia has a rived. Nothing is still
Speaker 3: from Latvia. No word from Latvia. Fingers crossed eagerly awaiting
Speaker 3: my missive from Latvia.
Speaker 2: Missive from Latvia. Well, I guess we should start the
Speaker 2: podcast now.
Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, Okay, This comes out on New Year's Eve, which,
Speaker 3: as I mentioned, is about to be a past year.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's wow.
Speaker 3: So Sienna, could you please tell us about a film
Speaker 3: that addresses past years?
Speaker 2: Yes, very much. Twenty twelve.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, oh wow, yeah, past lives.
Speaker 2: Norah Moon and Hay Sung were great friends in middle
Speaker 2: school in Korea, and then Norah left for Canada. Their
Speaker 2: lives grow in different directions throughout the movie, with Nora
Speaker 2: as a playwright in NYC married to some guy oh,
Speaker 2: and Hey Sung as an engineer in Seoul. Over the
Speaker 2: course of their lives, they reach out to each other
Speaker 2: a few times, wondering what would have been if their
Speaker 2: lives had gone differently. It is beautiful and melancholy, and
Speaker 2: every character is kind and doing their best.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, they really are.
Speaker 2: It's like nobody's a bad guy in this. No, there's
Speaker 2: not a villain. It's very the most.
Speaker 3: Modern film I've ever seen. I kept expecting there to
Speaker 3: be tropes. I kept expecting there to be various which
Speaker 3: we can get to, and there.
Speaker 2: Weren't no tropes. It was just people doing their best,
Speaker 2: loving each other in different ways. Life is complex and confusing.
Speaker 2: Oh god, Hi, sorry, it's been really great doing this podcast,
Speaker 2: but there's some things I want to focus on, so
Speaker 2: I just I'll be back. I'm just gonna take a
Speaker 2: little break for about three minutes or maybe closer to
Speaker 2: twelve years. We'll be right back, we Leana. Shall we
Speaker 2: get into our phone notes and discuss the film.
Speaker 3: This is our segment phone Notes. Each of us watch
Speaker 3: the film and takes notes on our phone while watching,
Speaker 3: and then on the podcast we read each other's notes
Speaker 3: for the first time.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: A friend was asking today, Oh, yeah, you just make
Speaker 3: it super clear that masse. Oh and yes, see on
Speaker 3: your first note is I have COVID. That and I
Speaker 3: can just picture you sitting down to watch the film
Speaker 3: and saying, I.
Speaker 2: Have COVID my teeth. Okay, so you're just stop checking it.
Speaker 2: Your first note is A twenty four? Is this going
Speaker 2: to be scary? Okay? They are doing a lot of
Speaker 2: scary stuff. I know, I think they're just indie guys,
Speaker 2: but Indy these days is like we're indie and so.
Speaker 3: We're scare legs.
Speaker 2: Yeah you want feminism, how about feminism with blood? But
Speaker 2: he eats you. Yeah, you're like what.
Speaker 3: So I was a little afraid a bit. But here's.
Speaker 2: Feminine feminism. But the patriarchy eats you. You get gobbled up.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, wait, Leanna, you've said I love grete
Speaker 2: Lee and I also said that you.
Speaker 3: Said I love this actress Greta Lee. Ah, you wrote
Speaker 3: damn their moms are so cool.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah. I was like, sorry, do you have a
Speaker 2: crush on anybody? And she's like, yeah, I do have
Speaker 2: a crush on somebody in my class. And she's like,
Speaker 2: do you want to go on a date with him?
Speaker 2: But I'll take you on a date with him. Me
Speaker 2: and his mom will like take you out and you
Speaker 2: guys can can go on a date together.
Speaker 3: I was like, what that was an option?
Speaker 2: I know, I didn't know that. It was so sweet.
Speaker 2: They didn't make it weird at all. They were just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: why didn't you get to know each other? You're young,
Speaker 2: It's fine, we'll be there, we'll chaperone. I just can't
Speaker 2: imagine talking to a boy at that age.
Speaker 3: It's crazy, that is, I think what what was hard
Speaker 3: for me to wrap my head around too. It was
Speaker 3: terrifying even the nerds, I would a boy spend that
Speaker 3: much time with me and vice versa. At aged twelve,
Speaker 3: I was busy. I had to go to dance class.
Speaker 2: Sienna.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yes, you asked, Leanna, did you used to
Speaker 3: skype much?
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Skype. Oh, take a moment and talk
Speaker 2: about Skype, because guess what it was. It was eradicated
Speaker 2: from this world when Zoom took over during the pandemic Skype.
Speaker 3: I firmly feel that Skype fumbled the bag during the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did say, how did Skype fumble video calling
Speaker 2: so so hard? Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, fumble is the verb of note.
Speaker 2: Were you skyping?
Speaker 3: It sounds like maybe you had a Skype past.
Speaker 2: So I used to skype my friend Alison Rains every
Speaker 2: day after school. We would get on game fund in
Speaker 2: eighth grade. We would get on game Fudge in eighth
Speaker 2: grade and you would play games, play play games and
Speaker 2: Skype Fudge. Yes, game Fudge was the name of the thing.
Speaker 2: It was kind of like addicting games dot com, Hello
Speaker 2: Brito Bison and such games. Yeah. I was scaped every
Speaker 2: day after school pretty frequently. WHOA, I love Skype. I
Speaker 2: skyped well into high school. I think I think I
Speaker 2: skyped well in high school.
Speaker 1: WHOA?
Speaker 2: But that that sound was so comforting to me. The
Speaker 2: doo yeah what about you?
Speaker 3: There really was some user interface in this film that
Speaker 3: took me back.
Speaker 2: It was definitely too complex to be something for the pandemic,
Speaker 2: for example, or something for work meetings.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, it's too requids. They had, they had it
Speaker 3: in their grasp, and they did have it in the grasp.
Speaker 3: My god, they had everything should have been them and
Speaker 3: it wasn't. No, that's crazy. I think I was not
Speaker 3: a skyper. I think I really didn't understand that friendship
Speaker 3: was rooted in having things in common, such as like
Speaker 3: your morals and things that you talk about morals until
Speaker 3: like college. Yeah, I thought, if I don't have morals
Speaker 3: in common with you, it's not going to work out. No.
Speaker 3: I I think a lot of my friendships were text
Speaker 3: based or proximity friendships, where it was like, well, we
Speaker 3: go to the same dance school, so I guess we're
Speaker 3: also going to hang out outside of that, But then
Speaker 3: we didn't really have that much to like talk about.
Speaker 2: Ever.
Speaker 3: I also think I have a terrible memory, so this
Speaker 3: coind wrong. All that to say, The only memory I
Speaker 3: have of ever using Skype was have I told you
Speaker 3: about this? At six in the morning, Colorado time. I
Speaker 3: had to get measured by my mom.
Speaker 2: Yes, you have to.
Speaker 3: Give my measurements to an irate Irish woman for a
Speaker 3: dance dress. Yeah, and that was Yeah, my mom had
Speaker 3: to measure my bust and tell it to an irishwoman
Speaker 3: over Skype. Insane looking back, And that's Skype for me
Speaker 3: looking back on my life. Conversation is really the only
Speaker 3: thing I've ever done and the only thing I've ever
Speaker 3: done well, and the one thing across the board and like, huh, well, hey,
Speaker 3: look at you. Now you're conversing professionally.
Speaker 2: So I was gonna say if I could make money
Speaker 2: talking and I guess we're almost Oh boy, don't we. Leanna,
Speaker 2: you said to be hot on Skype. Massive achievement. Well
Speaker 2: done both. Oh my, I was amazed. They were both
Speaker 2: so gorgeous. Later, when her husband's like, do you find
Speaker 2: him attractive? You're attracted to do any more attractive than me?
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, buddy, I wouldn't play this game. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a losing battle every time for you.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. A borderline anti semitic impression. I was
Speaker 2: kind of going more for an Italian American thing. But
Speaker 2: you know what, the New York it's a it's a
Speaker 2: troublesome arena to be playing in. And I do apologize,
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I was like, obviously he's attractive, he's the hottest man
Speaker 3: in her in her life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's like I've known him for years and years
Speaker 2: and now he's a man. God, he looked so good.
Speaker 3: I feel like age thirty six, Leonna.
Speaker 2: I'm going to read your next note, which is melancholy,
Speaker 2: but I want to read your next two notes actually
Speaker 2: in a row. Okay, oh, because the juxtaposition makes us
Speaker 2: who we are. You've said gazing at people in love
Speaker 2: and feeling eternally alone mood. Oh my god. Then your
Speaker 2: next note is Arthur. Okay, mister Ardvark.
Speaker 3: And let me tell you that I did not intonate
Speaker 3: as kindly as you did. I said, Arthur. Okay, mister Ardvark.
Speaker 3: Why that his name is?
Speaker 2: Her name is Arthur? Do you think Arthur is a
Speaker 2: is a name? Are you an ark for children?
Speaker 3: What? Are you an ard Vark that doesn't look anything
Speaker 3: like an ard Vark? Your name is Bob Bear, a builder?
Speaker 2: What? Oh you're going specifically? PBS? Gotcha gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 3: Please, it's New York the public broadcasting system. Come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay, yes, Sienna,
Speaker 3: you noted. Kay, she is making an inappropriate amount of
Speaker 3: eye contact with this straight man as a married woman.
Speaker 2: It's funny how they're just are rules like that. It's like,
Speaker 2: I think, if you're married, you're not allowed to make
Speaker 2: eye contact for that long, that directly with anyone.
Speaker 3: How did you feel, because you you have f or
Speaker 3: you have had in the past, fairly stern views on adultery,
Speaker 3: did she you don't know, I don't know, it's come
Speaker 3: up though. How did you feel about her? And hey son,
Speaker 3: were you like, were you rooting for them? Or were
Speaker 3: you like thou shalt not commit adultery?
Speaker 2: Well, I like when they laid out that whole thing
Speaker 2: where this movie was so lovely, it is so clearly
Speaker 2: women woman led women, so clearly woman led because when
Speaker 2: they have that conversation her and her husband and he's like,
Speaker 2: I kind of am just some guy. Yeah, He's like
Speaker 2: we met sort of a regular way, Like our story
Speaker 2: isn't that interesting? Like I know we love each other,
Speaker 2: but wasn't it kind of circumstantial? Like you and Heysung
Speaker 2: have like a much more a deeper connection kind of ultimately,
Speaker 2: but she's sort of like, yeah, but he's not my
Speaker 2: husband and he's not supposed to be my spend, you know,
Speaker 2: so I was rooting for them. The thing that I
Speaker 2: really this movie. That struck me about this movie was like,
Speaker 2: there's so many depths of human relationships, Like, I don't
Speaker 2: think what was so beautiful and melancholy when they were
Speaker 2: talking about their relationship, is what is it that they
Speaker 2: wanted that they want to be husband and wife and
Speaker 2: have children? Like there was no version of Nora's life
Speaker 2: that was supposed to be her in Korea just having
Speaker 2: kids with the person she met when she was in
Speaker 2: middle school. Like that's just not who she was, you know,
Speaker 2: So where else would they have done that? Was he
Speaker 2: supposed to have moved to New York? Like what version
Speaker 2: of her song would have been somebody who moved to
Speaker 2: New York City away from his awesome friend group, who
Speaker 2: has dinner every night it's party hard, yeah, and like
Speaker 2: away from her to life, you know, Like there just
Speaker 2: wasn't a place where they could have met in this life.
Speaker 2: So it's like they did have something else. It wasn't
Speaker 2: like they were just gonna They just had something that
Speaker 2: was meant to be physical or something, you know like that.
Speaker 2: It was kind of of even layers beyond that. They
Speaker 2: just had a connection. Oh so beautiful. So there are
Speaker 2: nuances in life where there are people that you have
Speaker 2: sort of an intimate love with, but they're not meant
Speaker 2: to be your partner. So I was rooting for their
Speaker 2: I was rooting for their situation definitely. I mean it
Speaker 2: kind of is like, Wow, what a beautiful couple this
Speaker 2: would be. And kay Song was so kind and wonderful,
Speaker 2: like everybody was just a lovely person in this. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I would have preferred for those two to have been
Speaker 2: together then her and the other guy. But as she said,
Speaker 2: this is my life and I'm moving in with you.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was adultery. When they were making eye contact, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was adultery. They were sinning, Leanna, you said, Okay,
Speaker 2: you can still go do stuff in New York when
Speaker 2: it's raining. Why because people were because they were all like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be raining there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like it's gonna rain the whole time
Speaker 3: you're there. And then he was just like being melancholy
Speaker 3: in the hotel while it was raining, and I was like,
Speaker 3: go to the Goggenheim.
Speaker 2: There are so many Go to the city of buildings.
Speaker 3: New York is famously mostly indoors.
Speaker 2: Leoni, Leonna. I didn't. I've never heard this, you said
Speaker 2: TVT DI at the time subway door closed on my head.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I haven't told you about this. No, please
Speaker 2: tell me about this.
Speaker 3: I so I had lived for the summer in Manhattan
Speaker 3: and I had to move my stuff. It was like
Speaker 3: at a friend's place, and I had to move all
Speaker 3: my bedding because I'd been staying in student housing and
Speaker 3: I was moving to different student housing. I had to
Speaker 3: move all my bedding from like the Upper West Side
Speaker 3: down to Brooklyn. And so I was carrying like two
Speaker 3: pillows and a mattress cover or something like that, all
Speaker 3: in their like little plastic carry bags. And I was
Speaker 3: trying to hold all of that and get onto the
Speaker 3: subway and one hand made it through with one pillow,
Speaker 3: and I think the mattress topp or whatever. But then
Speaker 3: the door closed on the other pillow, and like somehow
Speaker 3: I had only gotten my head in the door, but
Speaker 3: my body was still on the platform and it just
Speaker 3: all kind of happened so fast, and I went, oh,
Speaker 3: and then a guy just like yanked the subway door
Speaker 3: open and he shoved me into the subway, pulled me in,
Speaker 3: and he's my guardian angel, because I would have been decapitat.
Speaker 2: All of that is such a perfect encapsulation of what
Speaker 2: New York is, because yeah, you're like, oh, I love
Speaker 2: New York. The subway and then you have to bring
Speaker 2: all your stuff on the train and like it almost
Speaker 2: decapitates you, and you're like, I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 2: But then somebody yanks the door open and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're all in this together. I love New York. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's like, at the end of the day, you
Speaker 2: could just drive your stuff somewhere in any other city.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: That is true.
Speaker 3: Then I think, if I had to live in an
Speaker 3: American city, which one would it be? I always think
Speaker 3: New York, And then I remember the time the subway
Speaker 3: doors closed, Yeah, and I second guess it.
Speaker 2: But walking around is the best?
Speaker 3: Is your childhood friend hot? Now you're gonna need to
Speaker 3: have a conversation with your husband. You've got three Now,
Speaker 3: see you soon, Sienna. A double note from you here
Speaker 3: to display you know we contain multitudes. You've noted one
Speaker 3: of life's strange truths is that your partner necessarily can't
Speaker 3: know all of you. And then you've written Shazam is
Speaker 3: one of the best apps ever?
Speaker 2: Can we talk about Shazam? I guess it is unbelievably
Speaker 2: reliable almost everywhere. The tunes I did when they were
Speaker 2: at the bar. When they were at the bar, I
Speaker 2: was like, what is this song because it's also making
Speaker 2: me When it was just the two guys at the bar,
Speaker 2: and they were like, uh, I love when women make things. Yes, Leonna,
Speaker 2: you said, while life is life really is long? If
Speaker 2: you met your soulmate at age twelve, completely so jealous
Speaker 2: of these Some people must have that experience, whether like
Speaker 2: I literally met somebody who I have strong love for
Speaker 2: when I was in middle seer, which insane. The main
Speaker 2: thing I remember doing in middle school was one time
Speaker 2: we'd like sold sandwiches in sixth grade for the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: And I remember my friends, my two best friends and
Speaker 2: I both gay. Now, my two best friends and I
Speaker 2: wrote a little jingle that we thought was so funny
Speaker 2: about buying a subway sandwich, and we got to read
Speaker 2: it on the announcements, and we spent like all week
Speaker 2: working on it and we laughed so much and then
Speaker 2: that's awesome, thank you. We presented it and when we
Speaker 2: came up, we were like waiting for everybody to be
Speaker 2: cheering for us, and nobody said anything.
Speaker 3: Hmmm, that sounds like a vocal warm up. Selling sandwiches
Speaker 3: for the Seattle super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Selling subway sandwich, selling subway sandwiches, sandwiches for the Seattle
Speaker 2: super Bowl, selling subway sandwiches for.
Speaker 3: The Seattle super Bowl.
Speaker 2: It was so awesome.
Speaker 3: That's that's banging, that's dope, and we'd make eyemovies stuffe
Speaker 3: of having a soul mate.
Speaker 2: You know what I think.
Speaker 3: I think I wasn't comfortable with myself as a person
Speaker 3: until college, and as a result, I didn't know what
Speaker 3: I was supposed to be looking for in a friend.
Speaker 2: Whoa whoa I know, fascinating. Ooops. Well, I'm so grateful
Speaker 2: that I met you in college.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, thank god, Oh my god, you were one
Speaker 3: of the first people. You know, this is gonna be
Speaker 3: so sincere stuffing me for this, Okay, don't look at me.
Speaker 3: I think our friendship was one of the first ones
Speaker 3: in my life where I was like, we have so
Speaker 3: much fun, Like we just are always laughing, like it's
Speaker 3: just like a joy to be around them. Like I
Speaker 3: just like craved spending more and more time with you
Speaker 3: because I was like, it's just always like wonderful and
Speaker 3: I hadn't really experienced something like that before. Sorry, thank
Speaker 3: you for giving that to my COVID heart, Mary christ.
Speaker 2: I feel the same way nineteen Hart.
Speaker 3: No, but you had friendships where you were like giggling,
Speaker 3: teaing hahha.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But even to this day, even to this day,
Speaker 2: when there's something that I'm like, this is hilarious or
Speaker 2: like the depths of life funny type of thing, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, like bottom of the barrel whatever,
Speaker 2: or like I send it to you, I'm like this,
Speaker 2: I gotta Tellana about this. Leonna. You said you kept
Speaker 2: entering my mind when I was in the military mood.
Speaker 3: I know I'm not to relate to that as someone
Speaker 3: who has not served in the armed forces, but I
Speaker 3: was just like, yeah, I feel that way.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 3: I was thinking of you know, well, when you're just
Speaker 3: like going through it and there's just somebody on your
Speaker 3: mind and you're like huh, it's interesting that this person
Speaker 3: is so on my mind right now. Yeah, I know again,
Speaker 3: I can't compare my day to day hardships with me.
Speaker 2: But you've read so much about it.
Speaker 3: But I have read a lot about it. Oh.
Speaker 2: I loved the opening of this movie. Yeah, wow, like,
Speaker 2: who is that? Who are listening to each other? I
Speaker 2: have no idea?
Speaker 3: What what an interesting way to start a film.
Speaker 2: Thank you? And then by the end we're like, I
Speaker 2: see why they did that because it is a complex
Speaker 2: situation to each other and oh we judge and expecting
Speaker 2: from people that your lives go so many ways you
Speaker 2: can't predict.
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed this film, and they could have.
Speaker 2: Been something else to each other in different lives. All
Speaker 2: three of them could have been important things that.
Speaker 3: I forgot about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was writing down so many of the quotes
Speaker 2: by the end. Yeah, to me, you were someone who left. Oh, oh,
Speaker 2: I love is the person who leaves.
Speaker 3: I felt very afeared when he said to me, you
Speaker 3: are someone who leaves, because I was like, am I
Speaker 3: that person? Because I keep leaving things, leaving cities, I
Speaker 3: keep leaving friendships.
Speaker 2: For me, you're someone who leaves, but also something every week.
Speaker 2: Thank god.
Speaker 3: I loved I loved their conversation at the bar so much.
Speaker 3: It was amazing. Like when they finally just like have
Speaker 3: have it out, hash it out, whatever it out, and
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, when she's like that girl that you
Speaker 3: knew when we were twelve, she doesn't exist anymore. But
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean she wasn't real. It just means that
Speaker 3: I left her with you. My god, oh my god?
Speaker 2: What is life about? Literally? What are we all doing here?
Speaker 2: Life is so confusing? How do people even choose to
Speaker 2: make decisions? Well?
Speaker 3: What That's how I feel when I see a play?
Speaker 2: How do people choose to make decisions? What? Why do
Speaker 2: we do this? Leona? You've written anguish.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was in anguish, I think, or I
Speaker 3: was more experiencing anguish from a distance. I mean I'm medicated. No,
Speaker 3: you know, stuff lands a bit less.
Speaker 2: Deep believe in it normally would Leona, Your last note
Speaker 2: is oh baby, if I was able to cry, I
Speaker 2: would be. And then your next note is, oh, JK,
Speaker 2: I am crying.
Speaker 3: Love that that end scene where they walk together to
Speaker 3: the uber and stand and stare at each other. I
Speaker 3: was like, oh yeah, if I could cry, I definitely
Speaker 3: for sure would be crying. And then when she walks
Speaker 3: back and she starts crying, I I said, oh, this
Speaker 3: movie really effectively made me feel the deep, unnameable melancholy
Speaker 3: of life. Do you think any of that was perhaps
Speaker 3: heightened by your having.
Speaker 2: Me having COVID nineteen and having just read an essay
Speaker 2: about my first love that I wrote when I was
Speaker 2: in college. It's like everything that I feel when I
Speaker 2: listened to Elliott Smith walking around the quad, who I
Speaker 2: felt while watching this where it's like, I can't name it,
Speaker 2: but there's something deep and sad.
Speaker 3: You were like your own emotional fluffer for this film
Speaker 3: by reading your own essay.
Speaker 2: I mean I have been sitting in the dark for
Speaker 2: like three days. Oh yeah, I think that it also
Speaker 2: just effectively touched on it, like it was trying to
Speaker 2: touch on that something more specific than just like losing
Speaker 2: a love, But it was just like life is has
Speaker 2: so many more layers than just you meet someone and
Speaker 2: you're supposed to be with them or like what would
Speaker 2: what would that even be? It's like it's having kids
Speaker 2: the ultimate thing. Who knows, like dying together the ultimate thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know, seeing each other for more phases than
Speaker 2: one maybe.
Speaker 3: Or maybe.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Completely random side
Speaker 2: note that I'm decided to say now in this emotional state,
Speaker 2: you're somebody who I think is one of the best
Speaker 2: at making friends and having great friendships. WHOA I was
Speaker 2: thinking earlier when you were saying like you struggled to
Speaker 2: do that in middle school when people whenever I'm like
Speaker 2: pointing things out about your showing people like oh yeah,
Speaker 2: this is leonor or whatever, I'm like, oh, yeah, she
Speaker 2: has like so many great friends, Like she gathers like
Speaker 2: great friends and whatever. And like you went to London
Speaker 2: and found some lovely friends, and a lot of people
Speaker 2: will move and like have a lot of trouble with that,
Speaker 2: like that's their biggest issues. They're like, I don't have
Speaker 2: any friends. Thank you.
Speaker 3: That really means a lot to me. Yeah, I've actually
Speaker 3: been feeling very insecure about my No, you're really good
Speaker 3: at that friendship capacity. No you recently, wow, because you're
Speaker 3: like such a Yeah, you're you love goofy friendships and
Speaker 3: you're good at gathering people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: You would love the people that I've befriended here. It'd
Speaker 3: be very fun if one day, everybody overlapped.
Speaker 2: I have a little goal. I've been looking at my
Speaker 2: been looking at my flight miles, and this year I'm
Speaker 2: thinking of popping over. So I wonder, my God in
Speaker 2: February should want to do it before we find out.
Speaker 3: It before I like maybe get deported. Maybe it's kind
Speaker 3: of an asshole in February.
Speaker 2: Sorry what? Sorry? What? Oh my god? That's so not what.
Speaker 3: That's I don't know what phrase I was looking for.
Speaker 2: London is an asshole? Do you know? How is it
Speaker 2: over there? Kind of an asshole? But I've actually never
Speaker 2: heard that phrase used in this context me neither.
Speaker 3: I think what I was trying to say was like
Speaker 3: it was some sort of it became a hybrid of
Speaker 3: it's kind of a shithole, it's kind of ship, and
Speaker 3: it's kind of ass It's kind of an asshole.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that's not actually more of a frequent phrase.
Speaker 2: It's kind of an asshole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, assholes never used to describe something that's just kind
Speaker 3: of like garbage.
Speaker 2: It's more like you are vile. I'm kind of standing
Speaker 2: in an asshole. It feels like I'm in a bit
Speaker 2: of an asshole. I think it feels more visceral than shithole.
Speaker 3: It definitely does.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, not the only option, so we'll see.
Speaker 3: Okay, can't wait, Oh, Siena, let us let us befriend
Speaker 3: our segment badges and tradges where we award the film
Speaker 3: badges for.

Speaker 2: much I don't understand about what it would be like
Speaker 2: to fully get up and move to a different country,
Speaker 2: specifically like North America or English speaking country where people
Speaker 2: have decided it's like the most rele place to be
Speaker 2: for certain career paths. But it was so cute to

Speaker 3: also it helps you as the audience, understand why they're
Speaker 3: making the choices that they are with their lives.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful and honest, and I appreciate that they just
Speaker 2: say things out loud instead of being like, h yeah,
Speaker 2: I can't say you know, they just talk it through
Speaker 2: because I was so so rare. Yeah. Usually these movies
Speaker 2: that are kind of I think that they the way
Speaker 2: that they make it sort of mysterious and melancholy is
Speaker 2: by just not.
Speaker 3: Saying everything, leaving things unsaid, but instead, oh, you're.
Speaker 2: So right here. We got to follow the whole thing and.
Speaker 3: Just they just said it.
Speaker 2: They just because and they respect It was very respectful. Also, hm,
Speaker 2: it was tragic. I have one trage, m My trage
Speaker 2: is what is life all about? What is it for? Okay?
Speaker 2: And also there were times I will say where this
Speaker 2: also made me go like, oh my god, she's so
Speaker 2: ambitious in her life. I remember when I was ambitious her.
Speaker 2: What does it maybe?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh, oh goals.
Speaker 3: Oh, I have a trage for once again, I am
Speaker 3: wondering if the sound is on.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 3: I love this movie, but put some sounds at the
Speaker 3: beginning so I know that the audio is working at
Speaker 3: the very beginning.
Speaker 2: I was also like before it started, Hello, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Why did they do that? I've never seen that before.
Speaker 2: Just like indie movies love to.
Speaker 3: Be like, we're a quiet film.
Speaker 2: We're quiet, We're gonna be very quiet. It's like, hello, hello,
Speaker 2: quiet film, We're being quiet. I'm like, is this alling quiet?
Speaker 2: The volumes at ninety seven? Get ready to perceive, get
Speaker 2: ready to think? Get ready? Yeah, medicine U Tragferd.
Speaker 3: Why isn't anyone else around? This is when she arrives
Speaker 3: at the Residency House in montak and there's no one there.
Speaker 3: It was like a zombie film. I was like, where
Speaker 3: is everyone?
Speaker 2: I guess I just when she got there early, and
Speaker 2: I thought that maybe just the house was empty. But
Speaker 2: now that you've said it's like a zombie film, I
Speaker 2: do get why if you were looking at it through
Speaker 2: that lens that you would be seeing that because a
Speaker 2: zombie could appear at any moment.
Speaker 3: The doors are all wide open.
Speaker 2: That was weird. I was like, why are you accepting
Speaker 2: that the coffee is brewed and the doors are open
Speaker 2: just for you. I think she was just kind of
Speaker 2: being a flirty girl. She's like, ugh, somebody lives here.
Speaker 2: Now a trage for it?
Speaker 3: Doesn't Her shoulder hurt from using a shoulder bag. She
Speaker 3: has a tote bag that she carries around in New
Speaker 3: York and I was like, that's gonna hurt if you're
Speaker 3: doing a full day out with a tote on one shoulder.
Speaker 2: I think one of the main reasons I continued dating
Speaker 2: my boyfriend, who was completely incompatible with in New York City,
Speaker 2: was so I had somebody to carry my stuff because
Speaker 2: he had a backpack. I just if my arm hurt,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, can you carry this? And it's truly
Speaker 2: the only thing I ever asked of him. Wow, it's
Speaker 2: like the only place that I used the boyfriend girlfriend
Speaker 2: thing in a very traditional.
Speaker 3: Way, traditional sense, he should carry stuff. My last trage
Speaker 3: is if they don't bang once in this, I swear
Speaker 3: to god, it would have been very beautiful. It would
Speaker 3: have been beautiful. But I also I understand, yeah, it
Speaker 3: would have been wrong for the story and wrong for
Speaker 3: this lifetime.
Speaker 2: Maybe they can just make a fan fix sequel.
Speaker 3: I bet there's so much fanfic out there about this.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Life is so complex. I just think.
Speaker 3: I just think if I were in a partnership where
Speaker 3: my partner's first love from twenty four years ago was
Speaker 3: coming to visit them once and they have so much
Speaker 3: visible chemistry, I think I'd be like, do you know
Speaker 3: what you too? Go bang, get it out of your system,
Speaker 3: have at it, have at it, have at it, then
Speaker 3: come on back.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think they needed to bang once and then maybe
Speaker 3: be like, oh, okay, yeah, well we did that. That's good.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he said like, maybe this is our past
Speaker 2: life and maybe in the future we're already something to
Speaker 2: each other, see you, then oh boo, that is what
Speaker 2: those connections in life are like, like, oh, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna even with friendships, certain friendships where you're like, we
Speaker 2: just don't get to be around each other the amount
Speaker 2: that I would expect because of the way that we're connected.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. But I'll see you in the next life.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well Leanna, or have you done all
Speaker 2: your trages?
Speaker 3: I have?
Speaker 2: Okay, great, let's move on to our next segment, which is,
Speaker 2: of course, how to pretend you've seen this film? Mm hmmm,
Speaker 2: uh this is oh excuse me. You are in You're
Speaker 2: in New York City. You're on the ferry going to
Speaker 2: see the Statue of Liberty, which, by the way, very
Speaker 2: pointy crown, dangerously pointy.
Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty pretty far away. Who's it gonna get?
Speaker 2: You know, they're getting close on that ferry crown and
Speaker 2: you're looking up at that Statue of Liberty and Arthur
Speaker 2: comes up to you. M h and he says, careful. Wow,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go for gravelly absolutely associated with the
Speaker 2: accent of any sort. Wow.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 2: I love New York City. I love the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite movies I saw is called Past Lives.
Speaker 2: My favorite thing about it is how I assumed that
Speaker 2: they were secretly boning the whole time. And that's the
Speaker 2: only thing I thought out, nothing about the beautiful nature
Speaker 2: of a connection unh unboned.
Speaker 3: And in order to fling Arthur into the Hudson Ah splash,
Speaker 3: We're gonna give you a few sentences you can say
Speaker 3: to pretend you've seen the film Past Lives.
Speaker 2: I'm so sweaty. I'm so sweaty from illness.
Speaker 3: Arthur, I've seen the film Past Lives. I'm gonna quote
Speaker 3: to you the most relevant quote from it for this conversation.
Speaker 3: I want us to stop talking.
Speaker 2: For a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and by for a while, Arthur, I mean forever.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Yes, Arthur, I've seen the film. I
Speaker 2: have seen the film Past Lives. This was Selene's Song's
Speaker 2: directorial debut. Oh my god, I hope she makes so
Speaker 2: so much more.
Speaker 3: It slapped, she slaid.
Speaker 2: There was a real life event that inspired this film?
Speaker 3: Was it having a friend?
Speaker 2: She had a childhood sweetheart who flew in from Korea,
Speaker 2: and she had an American husband who only spoke English.
Speaker 2: She was sitting there trying to translate for the two
Speaker 2: of them, and there was something really special going on. Oh,
Speaker 2: she said, I was sort of becoming a bridge or
Speaker 2: a portal between these two men, and also in some
Speaker 2: ways these two worlds of language and culture. Something about
Speaker 2: that moment really sparked something, and then it made me
Speaker 2: feel and it made me really feel like maybe this
Speaker 2: could be a movie.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, okay, all right, So okay, the rest of
Speaker 4: it is she starting about mating, Okay, because she's a
Speaker 4: movie person, Okay.
Speaker 2: But besides that, very very beautiful that that really happened. Wow, Arthur,
Speaker 2: I've seen Past Lives. That is a film that features
Speaker 2: what I would argue is the best bob haircut in
Speaker 2: cinematic history. Oh my gosh, yeah, wow, hair in this
Speaker 2: was I kept looking at those outfits and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: they only look good with her amazing hair.
Speaker 3: Hmmm.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Her hair was so straight and her haircut was so sharp,
Speaker 3: and then when she tucked it behind her ears the
Speaker 3: scene where she's writing her name and year on the
Speaker 3: wall in Montauk, I was like, oh my god, if
Speaker 3: my hair was straight, you guys wouldn't believe the number
Speaker 3: of things I would.
Speaker 2: I would chop it, I would pin it back I
Speaker 2: would make it different shapes, different straight shapes. Oh, I
Speaker 2: would mold it in all sorts of ways. Okay, yes, Arthur,
Speaker 2: I have seen the film. I have seen the film
Speaker 2: Past Lives. Fun fact, during the scene in the bar
Speaker 2: towards the end of the movie, the song that can
Speaker 2: be heard is Don't Look Back, a song from nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty five by the Irish group Them featuring Sir Van Morrison.
Speaker 2: Whoa And also, I should sam that song? And that
Speaker 2: is not the song it gave me a so maybe
Speaker 2: should sam isn't as amazing.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yes, Arthur, I've seen the film Past Lives, And in
Speaker 3: order to end this conversation with you, I'm gonna devastate
Speaker 3: you with one of the lines in it that devastated me,
Speaker 3: so that you are so devastatd that you end up
Speaker 3: in the Hudson River swimming away from this conversation. That
Speaker 3: line was I didn't know that liking your husband would
Speaker 3: hurt this much.
Speaker 2: Oh oh my god. Yes, yes, Arthur, I have seen
Speaker 2: the film Past Lives. In an interview with NPR in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, Greta Lee said that when she told
Speaker 2: her friends and family she was taking the role many
Speaker 2: of them were surprised and wondered if she could even
Speaker 2: speak Korean, which is so classic of your friends and
Speaker 2: family to do when you get a big when like this,
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, really, sorry, can you do that? She's like, yes, oh,
Speaker 2: you live with me?
Speaker 3: What that's like the scene in Fleabag where they're like, Claire,
Speaker 3: you're a lawyer and she's like, I went to business school,
Speaker 3: well you, hona.
Speaker 2: Shall we move on to our next segment, which is,
Speaker 2: of course should you watch or where we tell you
Speaker 2: if you should watch this film or if you should
Speaker 2: do anything else with your time? What would you say?
Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, I would say yes, absolutely. You can
Speaker 3: watch Past Lives. If you're feeling afrail about a past relationship.
Speaker 2: Oh, do you know what.
Speaker 3: If you are at all at risk of texting your
Speaker 3: ex uh huh, or your crush who's not nice to you,
Speaker 3: If you're at all at risk of getting back in
Speaker 3: touch with someone who's not actually nice to you, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you should still watch Past Lives, but keep an eye
Speaker 3: out for the way that he treats her in the film,
Speaker 3: and you'll have to you'll have to note that that's
Speaker 3: not what's going on in your life yep, and therefore
Speaker 3: you should not reach out to note that.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to make notice some things. It's tough film,
Speaker 3: watch it, how about you, Sianna?
Speaker 2: I would also say you could watch Past Lives if
Speaker 2: you're not in the mode to watch something. This is
Speaker 2: the perfect thing to do when you're thinking about life's nuance.
Speaker 2: And honestly, sometimes I get overwhelmed when I want to
Speaker 2: sit down and write something down, and this was a
Speaker 2: good thing to do instead. That makes you think a lot.
Speaker 2: But otherwise you could just write in your diary. Ah, yes, Leonna.
Speaker 2: What would you rate this film? Ooh?
Speaker 3: I would give Past Lives five respectful backlooks out of
Speaker 3: five gosh.
Speaker 2: I just I enjoyed it so much. He too.
Speaker 3: It felt easy to watch it, Yeah, I really did.
Speaker 2: It was a it was a well. There was a
Speaker 2: point where I was just like, this is my kind
Speaker 2: of movie. It's slow, it's interesting, it's beautiful, but not
Speaker 2: obnoxiously beautiful.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What would you rate the film? I would also give
Speaker 2: this film five spotty skype calls out of five.
Speaker 3: Day.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it so much. It really I did not
Speaker 2: know I was going to enjoy it this much. It
Speaker 2: was lovely. It's very watchable too. I could easily watch
Speaker 2: it again right now, right now, right now, And you know.
