WEBVTT - The Summer I Turned RomCom

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Is this seat taking Conrad? I choose you? That was

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>the moment that fans have been waiting for for three

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>full seasons from the summer I turned pretty and TJ

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and I watched the finale finally a couple days after

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>it aired, and you know what, it doesn't get more

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>rom COMI than that.

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>We were screaming at the television.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>We were screaming.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 3>It lost me. I was so upset.

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>They gave the people what they want, TJ.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 3>That's not what I wanted.

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 1>What did you want to happen?

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 2>You know what? It completely went into your rom calm,

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>predictable format. You give me these lines.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>It was always you home is wherever you are?

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>This thing and it completely cheezed up.

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say this to you often when I come

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>up to the table, When is this seat taken? I

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>choose you to She ran to the train state. Oh

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the running scene, yes, Oh, it was running through the

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>streets of Paris. It couldn't get more romantic. And usually

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>in these rom comps you see the man running to

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the woman who's left. But it was a little switcheroo.

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>She was running and she chose him, So that was

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a little twist. Female empowerment. Yes, they had all the

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>nods to all the young women and older women. In fact,

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>we had our friend she she I don't want to

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>give away her age, but she was in The Golden

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor and she was texting us yesterday talking about the passion,

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the sexual tension, how much she loved the finale. So

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>this is something that has resonated with people and women

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>specifically of all ages, and it's been fun.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is obviously never something I would be into,

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>but I've got girls around me all the time. Not

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you saying this, but are you talking about this show.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>We started watching it kind of as a joke. We

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of got into it, then we started enjoying it.

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Then we started rooting for one guy over the other.

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Conrad has been my guy. But in the finale it

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't filming.

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>He got a little weepy, a little sentimental.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Just one of them stand up straight, just come on,

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>do something.

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>He was like a lost puppy dog. Love me, love me.

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>But I mean even the title of the finale was

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>so ram commy. At last one of my favorite songs.

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>But you know, they always have to have one of

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>the very well, they had a lot of French songs,

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Parisian songs. That was a little too

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>much for me. I was like, oget it, you're in Paris,

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it's romantic. But yeah, that last finale clocked in at

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>an hour and twenty minutes, and Prime Video has said

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>that season three broke all records, drawing twenty five million viewers,

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>topping the charts globally. It hit number one on the

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>platform at Prime Video in one hundred and twenty countries

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and is the most watched season among women ages eighteen

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 1>to thirty four. So, yes, in the end, they gave

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>the viewers what they wanted. And this also was a trilogy,

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.399
<v Speaker 1>a book that's how it all began, and Team Conrad won.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Do you know I did the books in this way

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>because I know the writers they did.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'll get into that a little bit later, because

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>there were a couple changes, but for the most part, yes,

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and I just it isn't over. And that's the other

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>exciting news with the season finale came the news that

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not over. There's a movie coming, and so of

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>course it will be and so Bonrad bon Rad lives on,

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna get more of bon Rad so we

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>actually got some fun color from the fans who were

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>lucky enough to be in the theater in Paris on

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday evening when they aired the finale, and this is

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>how they described it. The fans were screaming and losing

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>their minds as the sex scene and the love scenes

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>played out on the big screen because this was steamy.

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>This was not in the books. They actually did not

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>have Belly have premarital sex in the books, so they

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>made the decision in the series because she had sex

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>with both brothers in the series now and we finally

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>saw her and Conrad seal the deal in the finale,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>but she decided. Hans said that the writer, Jenny Hans,

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 1>said that she wanted to make it more current and

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>basically give again a little female empowerment that women can

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 1>choose who to have sex with. It's not about being

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, chased or a virgin before you get married.

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>So she adapted that.

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how old is the story like the books.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure how old they were, but they did

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>make the decision and she was comfortable with it having

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the lead character Belly explore her sexuality. She's twenty two

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in the finale.

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 3>So that was birthday.

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It was her right. It was so rom comy. He

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>surprises her in Paris. We think she has a boyfriend.

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>They make us think she did. Then we realize they

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>broke up weeks ago.

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Because they rolled up on a schooner together on a

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>little best.

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Thigh they embraced goodbye. Yes, so you know what it does?

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yes, it has all the hallmarks of a

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.719
<v Speaker 1>rom common. Yes, our daughters were all into it. But

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>why did this series in particular resonate so much? And

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting this series started during the pandemic, and so

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of viewers say this was their comfort food.

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>They wanted something that was nostalgic and joyful, and so

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>that does make people changed what they wanted, what they

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>needed when they realized we were in a world of

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>crises and that in terms of the news today, one

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of the fans I thought this was really interesting, saying

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>it was then in the pandemic and is now a

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>source of comfort, especially with what's been going on in

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the world and now watching this you don't get shamed

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>for it. They're like, normally, if you admitted you watch

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>this series, you might get shamed for Like you watched

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the summer. I turned pretty Now it's like, what, you're

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>not in the know, you're not watching it, you don't

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. But that really makes sense that

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it struck a chord the way it did with audiences,

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they got sucked into the story. And even

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>though maybe the acting when the writing isn't exactly what

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>we're used to when we see some of these White

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Lotus right, these streaming services that are clever and funny,

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>this was just old school, kind of a Lifetime movie

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>esque and feeling of nostalgia.

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>And that's not a criticism and it should not be

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 2>compared to a White Lotus. I I would argue Robes,

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.160
<v Speaker 2>you have seen me get more worked up and emotional

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 2>over what's going on between Conrad and Jeremiah than I

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>ever did about anybody on White Lotus.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>That is true.

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I watch, I respect it and love, but I wasn't

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 2>clamoring to go watch the next episode of White Lotus,

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 2>and everyone I watched I loved and found phenomenal. You

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 2>get me in front of an episode off somewhere, I

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>turned britty, I'm throwing shit at the TV. I'm all

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>worked up and said, what the hell? Why is he

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 2>wearing that shirt? What's wrong with his hair? What was

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>belly thinking it? Because the writing does, it hits something

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 2>in all of us. It hits something about relationships and

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 2>the complexities and family and friendships and all these things.

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 2>The bottom line, no matter what you think about the

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>writing or the performances or how any of it, here's

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the bottom line. A love triangle involving a young girl

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>and two of her best friends who happened to be brothers.

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 2>That is drama, and somebody will watch it's that, ye,

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>point blank.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>And it's about summers and nostalgia and going back and

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>falling in love for the first time and having that

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>summer place. I mean, I didn't grow up like that,

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a didn't have a summer place, but we did.

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>We would go to our place on the Mississippi River.

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>We go to the yes, the cape every summer. No.

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>But actually, in that sense too, you're its voyeurism. You're

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>watching people who do have that sort of means and

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>are able to have that beautiful home and on the

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>beach where young kids can get together. Most of us

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.239
<v Speaker 1>didn't have that, so we can enjoy watching other people

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>do it because it seems like that would have been

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>amazing life.

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Being a sixteen year old with a range Rover, it

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 3>would have been awesome.

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>What's that like?

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's also this was part of that where you

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>were just watching the halves. Even when you're a have not,

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>it's still fun to watch that play out.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why I was so thrown You know

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>what when it turned to rom Com. You know, I

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 2>am as anti romcom as they get. I respect them,

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 2>but you have to drag me kicking and screaming. We've

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 2>been in movies before, and I leaned over to you.

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Excuse me, I leaned over.

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>You got really choked up. I know it was emotional

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:35.959
<v Speaker 1>for you to watch the finale.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking about it in my mind again, and I

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.319
<v Speaker 2>got worked out. But I've leaned over to you in

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 2>movies before and said to you, is this a rom Com?

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Did you trick me?

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes? So I am so anti Romcom for whatever reason.

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Just they're not my lane.

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>They're formulating fine.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 2>When I saw the formula started playing out yesterday, I

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 2>got I gotta know it. I gotta know it because

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I was upset that I've been tricked. I was upset

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 2>that I've been bamboozled in some way to watching a

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>rom com.

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>But that's why it's comfort food, because you know what

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you're getting, and then you get, yes, the ending in

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a bright, shiny package with a bow on top, but.

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Sure, you know what you're getting.

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 2>What do you always say about expectations, right?

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Exactly?

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>I was disappointed because my expectations were not that it

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 2>was going to go with that direction.

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious. Then you don't really know rom coms because

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't deviate, they stay in their lane. They know

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>what they are.

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>You didn't tell me this was a rom com.

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>This entire sh rom drum kind of it wasn't really funny.

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>It was a m dress. I think that's a better

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>way to maybe put it. But honestly, speaking to that passion.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>The one thing that actually had I think it definitely

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>through producers this season because things got nasty, the whole

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Team Conrad team Jeremiah thing. Remember we actually did a

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>whole episode on it. They had to put out a

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>warning ask people to be kind, that, you know, let's

0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>be nice this summer. A fictional character, correct, and they

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 1>actually pointed that out. You know, the actors are real,

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>their characters are not so please make the distinction between

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the two, because it did get pretty heat, but that

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>was the level of passion. But you know what, we

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>can all be excited now collectively because it's not over

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>for Belly and Conrad. We get to see more, perhaps

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the next chapter, and when we come back, we're going

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>to talk everything we know about the upcoming movie. And

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to this edition of Amy and TJ, where

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>we are talking about this season finale of the Summer

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I Turn Pretty. And we say finale, but it wasn't

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>really a finale. It was just stay tuned for the

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>next movie now of the Summer I Turn Pretty. And

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>here's what we do know. We know that the actors

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>who played Belly and Conrad have already signed up, and

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't have confirmation that the actor who plays Jeremiah

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>is in, but fans have noted that he posed for

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>pictures with the other two in front of the movie

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 1>signage that they had on the red carpet for the premiere,

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>so it seems as though he will likely. I can't

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>imagine they couldn't get a new Conrad, I'm sorry, a

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>new Jeremiah.

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Bizarre because the story is just going to be about

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Belly and Conrad now because they're going off into the sunset.

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Apparently from what I.

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Saw, that's true. That is true. So here's the deal.

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Most people are hoping that the movie, of course, will

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>have the Belly and Conrad wedding. The author Jenny would

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>not Jenny Han has not admitted that that's the case.

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's all she said. And I think this is pretty obvious.

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>There is another big milestone left in Belly's journey, and

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought only a movie could give it its proper due.

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.959
<v Speaker 1>So yes, And here's another hint. So you asked me

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>how the series differed from the book. At least in

0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the finale, Belly goes to Spain, not France, so there

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.719
<v Speaker 1>is a little difference there. But the show leaves out

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a major part of the final book, Book three. There

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>was an epilogue in book three, and in that epilogue,

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Bellie reads the letter that Conrad and Jeremiah's mother, Susannah,

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>left for her on the day of her wedding to Conrad.

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>So in the epilogue there is a wedding to Conrad

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and the letter she received from their mother before she

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.839
<v Speaker 1>died that we saw on the show when she was

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>about to marry Jeremiah that she never opened in the book.

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>She opens it when she weds Conrad. So there is

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>an epilogue that they did not actually acknowledge.

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Who read the books?

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>You're not putting anything out there, people's it's out there.

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I would have never known this because I never would

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 2>have read the book, certainly not the epilogue the book.

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So I just feel like that clearly points to

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>at least a wedding. I was actually hoping, maybe they'll show,

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>don't say it a baby. Okay, First comes love, then

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.559
<v Speaker 1>comes marriage. Oh you thought maybe Jeremiah was going to

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>roup the wedding.

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 2>First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Jeremiah.

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Here, does anyone here have any reason to the back

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 1>and forth?

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 2>When she had that moment, I choose you. I think

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I might have screamed, I said, is this really about

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to happen? And everything?

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I was so upset.

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>We screamed. I mean, we're not kidding me. We actually

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 1>were screaming at the.

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 2>TV the whole time. And she look runs to the

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 2>window Conrad and then she runs out the door. I'm like,

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 2>how she paying for a cab? She shouldn't have a phone.

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>She shouldn't have an id.

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, a lot a lot of people have asked that question,

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and they said, what happened when she got to Brussels

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>because she was on the train. And by the way,

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>they actually shot that on a moving train, and they

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>did shoot it in France, so that was actually you

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 1>were asking about that.

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>So the run, the whole run to the everything is

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>a run.

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>At the end, she said it was hilly, that she

0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>hadn't been working out, and she was actually out of

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>breath because they really were running through the streets and

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>then getting to this train. And then a lot of

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 1>folks said, did she stay in Brussels? How did she

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>get back? She had no money, she had no idea,

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.199
<v Speaker 1>she had no luggage, she didn't have a purse, she

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.679
<v Speaker 1>had I don't even think she had keys on because.

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 3>She had nothing.

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 2>It might have been nice to grab the phone because

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.839
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't have had to make the run. So you

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 2>had to do is call Conrad and say come.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Back, or you could just say I'm coming, what train

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>car are you in? Like you know, there were a

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of practical things that could have happened.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>But practical doesn't go with rom com No, for.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>You need the dramatic. Was there ever a moment where

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you thought maybe she wouldn't find him last year?

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Kidding on my god, there was not a moment that

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think they were going to end up together.

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 2>And then she starts treating them bad after they have sex.

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>She starts just dogging the guy, and I was like,

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, Belly, that was kind of rude. It

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>was nasty, And again it was a part of the

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 2>emotional journey they're taking us on. I was so done

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 2>with Belly at that moment, And now you want me

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 2>and Conrad to open our arms and embrace her on

0:14:59.200 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the train.

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 1>She was scared. He scared her When he said forever,

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it scared her, and then she realized she does want

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>forever with him. All right. So, for those of you

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>who want to know when this movie is coming out,

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not if it's when, So it's too soon for them.

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>They said to give a release date, but they did say, hey, guys,

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>we haven't even shot it yet, so it's definitely not

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>coming next year. So a lot of people are looking

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to twenty twenty seven. So we have about a year

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and a half two years to wait for this movie.

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know that we are going to go to

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the movie theater and we are going to see it.

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 3>It'll release on Amazon.

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>It'll be fine, and I hope everybody no this is

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>there is no criticism we have with the show. We

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 2>respect it's phenomenal. We're having fun here talking about any

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 2>criticism of Ron Common and all that stuff. But it's

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 2>just it's fun and it was a formula and look,

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I've had a good time. And you know, it's a

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>weird way to find something that you normally don't have

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 2>somebody in common with, something to talk about. We don't

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 2>talk to kids about the kids about TikTok videos and

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff. But we all get together and we

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>have fun talking about this.

0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 3>This has been a great, great exercise.

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I appreciate Summer I Turn Pretty and Team

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Conray Go.

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that you were willing to watch with me

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and watch with us. It has been fun, it really

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and like there isn't a lot of even though it

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>was a little cheesy and predictable, there isn't a lot

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.560
<v Speaker 1>out there where we can all watch together and have

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>fun and feel good about it. So this was this

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>was fun. I think that's the best way to describe it.

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 3>One another thing annoyed me. You were his surprise on

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 3>the train.

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, she's making a total commotion coming through the train.

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 2>He didn't notice all the commotion and he's surprised.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he had his air pods in he didn't.

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 3>I looked.

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 1>All right. And on that final note, we hope you

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.760
