1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: On the Bell Cast, the questions asked if movies have

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: women in them, Are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands,

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: or do they have in individualism the patriarchy? Zef invest

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: start changing it with the beck Del cast. Oh man, yeah,

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: let's find it. Let's find a good line. There's so

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: many good lines. Wait, what about the one that Abigail

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Breslin says to Sarah Jessica Parker when she's like, you're

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: just so moody and like possessive because you don't have

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: a man and you're me the man in your life.

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: I like the one where you're just so want to

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: be a hipster who had is a heartbroken by the prompt?

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, I know what My favorite line in

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: my line, favorite line, and the exchange in the movie

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: is okay, hopefully you remember the line store of talking

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: about um So Caitlin, you're like a comic book artist?

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Do you like draw illustrate? Oh my god, I'm that

17
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: was so aggressive. Welcome to the Bechel Cast. Well wait, wait, wait,

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: which one was yours? Oh? My favorite line from the

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: film The Prestige film from two thousand eleven, directed by

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: Gary Marshall, New Year's Eve. My favorite line is let

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: the best the JJ win And then everyone was like

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 1: ha ha ha oh this what a what a happy

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: almost new year everyone. Uh, this is the Bexel Cast.

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm Jamie Loftus, I'm Caitlin Darante, and this is our

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: podcast about how movies fair when we look at them

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: through an intersectional feminist lens, and folks, We're gonna have

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: fun this week. I feel like we, uh, as as

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: as an extended podcast family, have earned it. You know,

29
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: it's been the biggest ship pile of a year on record,

30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: and it was that was a pretty competitive mark truly,

31
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: So there's been some pretty shitty years in the history

32
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: of the world. But you know what people were having

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: a lot of optimism for was two thousand and twelve.

34
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Apparently there they made a whole movie about how excited

35
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: we were for two thousand and twelve. Yeah, why wouldn't

36
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: this movie have come out in like the end of nine,

37
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: when like we were actually talking about like this new millennium.

38
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: Why two k was a big thing? There was like

39
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: so much maybe like two thousand, two thousand twelve was

40
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: the year that some people thought the world would end

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: because of the like oh, I forgot about the mine

42
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: calendar thing. My theory was it was the entire movie

43
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: was funded by Obama's re election campaign. They're just like right,

44
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: I think they would have made a far better movie

45
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: if that were true. I don't know. That's up for

46
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: debate there. Uh, this movie has got off. Okay, so

47
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: we're this is the Bechtel cast um. If this is

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: your first episode, you know, maybe reconsiderate or or just

49
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: hang out and see it's we're loose. We're loose today.

50
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: But we're going to use the Bechtel test, I guess

51
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: theoretically as a jumping off point for discussion, that being

52
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: a media metric test invented by queer cartoonist Alison Bechdel,

53
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: sometimes called the Bechtel Wallace test. There requires that, for

54
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: our purposes, two people of a marginalized gender with names

55
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: talk to each other about something other than a man

56
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: for more than two lines of dialogue. Doesn't seem like

57
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: it would be that hard. This movie really takes a

58
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: long time to get there, really long. It does get there,

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: and so it does, but it barely does anything. There's

60
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: a whole scene in this movie where Sophia Vergara and

61
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: Katherine Aigel, are just throwing eggs across a room. A

62
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: feminist feminis n eggs symbolism. Okay, think about it. It's

63
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: who we're talking about New Year's Eve, the movie that

64
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: was supposed to get us all excited for two thousand

65
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: and twelve. Do you do you have a history with

66
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: this movie? Have you seen it before? I know I

67
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: hadn't seen this before. Okay, I know I had seen

68
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: the previous uh person cast Gary Marshall movie. I have

69
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: seen Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, sure, Okay, I have not

70
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: seen that one either, Nor have I seen Mother's Day,

71
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: which came out five years after this one, which is

72
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the like it's like an unofficial trilogy, because they're all

73
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: Gary Marshall ensemble movies that are all bad. There's no

74
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: way we were just talking about this off, Mike. There's

75
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: no way Gary Marshall actually directed this entire movie. I

76
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: feel like he hired ten assistant directors and paid them

77
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: enough to not credit them appropriately, and then showed up

78
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: for one. The true story of this movie for me

79
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: is in the forty five minute blooper reel at the end. Uh,

80
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: It's is pretty It's the most compelling part of the movie.

81
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: I think Jessica Bielle gives a birth to two copies

82
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: of Valentine Stand DVD in the blue on Blu ray Hello,

83
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: because she's rich, which is which is why like her

84
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: whole storyline makes no sense. Oh my gosh, no, now

85
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: these storylines makes sense. I can't wait. This is like

86
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: if uh, and we we you know, early in the

87
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: cast we covered four years ago. At this point we

88
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: covered Love Actually, And this is if I Love Actually,

89
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know, Like, if Love Actually got

90
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: hit in the head really hard with the basketball, uh,

91
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: the movie would maybe be something like this. It's trying

92
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: to do the same vignette thing, but yes, instead of

93
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: like would love Actually the vignettes makes sense, they're just

94
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: generally pretty sexist and racist and dated. For this, these

95
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: don't even make sense. That don't make sense at least,

96
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean, go back and listen to our Love Actually episode.

97
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: We had plenty to say about it and like, it's

98
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: very problematic in many ways, were not. At least Love Actually, though,

99
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: has the ability to elicit like real emotion in audiences,

100
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Like people responded to that movie for a reason. I

101
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: understand why people really liked it, like in a dated way,

102
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: but like you're like, Okay, I I see, I see

103
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: why people were into this at the time. No one

104
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: was into this at the time. I think we're the

105
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: first people that have watched it since it came out.

106
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: It made Okay, it made a hundred and forty two

107
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: million dollars at the box office. It was one I

108
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: can't what else came out around that time that no

109
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: one everyone had to go see New Year's Eve. Because

110
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: that's actually a good question. My favorite fun fact about

111
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: this movie is then it was nominated for five Razzie

112
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Awards and lost all of them to Jack and Jill

113
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: uh Adam Sandler. Yes, um, so you know it wasn't

114
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: even the worst movie to come out in that year. Um.

115
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: It also has a seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes. And

116
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: if you just like, if you look at the critical

117
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: reception chunk on Wikipedia about this movie, it's very funny

118
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: because like the quotes that get pulled about this movie

119
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: are and like there's I mean, I'm just gonna read

120
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: a couple. Okay. Roger Ebert, our favorite person, actually has

121
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: something that we would agree with, says New Year's Eve

122
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: is a dreary plod through the stands of time until

123
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: finally the last grain has trickled through the glass of

124
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: cinematic sludge. Shout up to sludge. How how is it

125
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: possible to assemble more than two dozen stars in a

126
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: movie and find nothing interesting for any of them to do?

127
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: End quote Um Claudia Winkleman, not Claudia of BBC one.

128
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I have found the worst film of all time and

129
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: it is called New Year's Eve period And then there's

130
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: a couple more, but you get the idea. This is

131
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is This is one of those things

132
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: that it reminds me of the Lindsay Ellis did a

133
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: video on Cats and like the sorts of movies that

134
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: critics come together to just really take a gigantic dump

135
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: on as as a as a professional exercise. However, this

136
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: movie does deserve it. It's way more than Cats did

137
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: because Cats was good. Uh, this movie is is really bad. Um.

138
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Oh another There's just so many This movie is just

139
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: a list of moments. There's also scenes that seem like

140
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: they're interrupted by another scene and then the previous scene

141
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: just starts against Yes, I have I made a note

142
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: of a few of those. They keep cutting too A

143
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: montage that they just they should just let the montage

144
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: play out, but Zecca Fron is taking Michelle Peiffer around

145
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: New York City ever heard of it to like check

146
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: off her New Year's resolutions from the previous year, and

147
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: instead of again, instead of letting the whole montage play out,

148
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: they just keep like dispersing little little bits of it

149
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: throughout the movie, and it's like, this is so jarring

150
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: and weird. And then they cut back to a scene

151
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: that they had already, like the Katherine Heigel storyline, and

152
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: it's like, just let one of these moments breathe for

153
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: five seconds cut away. It's that's yeah, that that was

154
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: the I thought the most agreed just went to where

155
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: they cut out of the middle of a scene of

156
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: Katherine Heigel and it's not John, it's not John bon Jovi.

157
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: It's John bon Jensen, Jensen, Bun Jensen Jensen. Uh, but

158
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: they cut out of the middle of it. And then

159
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: it's like the weirdest part of most of that like

160
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: thing that whole montage is that it's clear that it's

161
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: just zach Efron doing a d R over b roll

162
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: that they're not even there for there's like they cut

163
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: to like just be roll of a water taxi and

164
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: then you hear Zack got Frond saying and go in

165
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: a taxi in New York with no traffic check, and

166
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: you're like, so much of these scenes are a d

167
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: r um. It's I had I had fun. I will

168
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: say I was so frustrated because I like, I feel

169
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: like I had to, like for a horrible movie, you

170
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: have to really pay close attention to what's like. It

171
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: took me a really long time because I had to

172
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: keep pausing and because things keep happening, and you're like,

173
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: wait a second, there, wait a second, why did they

174
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: just take Hillary Swaying to the maternity ward was why

175
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: is that happening there? Why is she in a room

176
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: full of babies? And then it's over so fast and

177
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: then you forget right away? How are you so normally?

178
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: I watched the movie twice. I think normally you watch

179
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: whatever movie we'recovering once. We both had to watch it

180
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: an extra time, so I watched it three times. You

181
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: watched it twice just because I also knew I wasn't

182
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: going to retain it from the night to the morning,

183
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: which is sad, and that is the mark of a

184
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: really bad and really poorly written movie. Its like none

185
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: of it sticks with you, and it's so jarring, and

186
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: it like just gives you so much whiplash that you

187
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: cannot piece together any part of the narrative, Like it

188
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: just washes over you. It's so oh. Another one of

189
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: my favorite bad lines is at the end the Hilary

190
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Swank ludicrous storyline, I'm like, what is gosh so weird?

191
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: And then at the end ludicrous is fake family shows

192
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: up And I've never seen an actor make it more

193
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: clear that this is not his actual family because he

194
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: because he like he walks towards these like these board children,

195
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: right and he's like, hello, my little rugrats, Well you're

196
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: not their dad. Also, why is Ludacris a cop, like

197
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: an NYPD cop and not just like a he's like

198
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: a lieutenant or something. He's like really high up in

199
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the ranks. Well this is this is Through researching for

200
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: this very important episode, I did find out that Ludacris

201
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: and Richard Pryor were cousins. Did you know WHOA? I

202
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't know that he's cousins with Richard Pryor and Monica

203
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: the singer. Oh what a talented family. You know it

204
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: turns out it's a dynasty. Um, but I'd rather see

205
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: that ensemble cast movie like about a comedian and two

206
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: musicians all in like all sharing a bloodline that's more

207
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: interesting than whatever drivel we get with New Year's Eve.

208
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor is not available, Yeah, but Ludacris was available

209
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: for this movie. He was so available. But even though

210
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: he could be removed from every scene and it would

211
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: be no different, there was at one point truly like

212
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: there and and we'll get to the treatment of black

213
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: and brown characters in this movie because it is real

214
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: bad but just like the most poorly written you can imagine.

215
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: But there was a full like ten minutes that I

216
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: was convinced. I was like, is Ludicrous actually a ghost

217
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: because he's just sort of like in these scenes with

218
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Hilary Swank being like it's gonna be okay, and she

219
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: never asks him really anything about himself, And I'm like,

220
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: is he like a ghost of New Year's past telling

221
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: her to go to Robert? Also Robert de Niro is

222
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: in this Oh, I will say, for a full disclosure,

223
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: I went into this movie being like, there's gonna be

224
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: one storyline that I'm just not going to pay attention

225
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: to at all because there are too many, and so

226
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: I was like, one's gotta go, and I chose as

227
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: a character to pay attention during zero of their scenes.

228
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: I chose Josh de Mel. Oh I didn't pay attention

229
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: to a single scene that Josh Deml was in. I

230
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: know he ends up with Sarah Jessica Parker, but I

231
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: wasn't paying attention to Josh de Mel. I don't want

232
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: to learn. I feel like I've gotten this far in

233
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: life without learning who Josh Deml is, and I like,

234
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: I just don't really want to know who he is

235
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Fergie's husband question mark. I think that's the main thing

236
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: you need to know about it. That's not to see that.

237
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Wouldn't have expected that, Um, I didn't. I just was like, oh,

238
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I recognized this guy, but I don't want to look

239
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: at him. Um. And so I ignored his storyline, but

240
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: every all the other ones I paid very close attention.

241
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: I'll fill in the gaps the Josh Jamal what's his name? Josh,

242
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea, I have no don't take my

243
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: word for it. I literally fast forward it through his scenes.

244
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: You not having paid attention to it, will not like

245
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: someone who did pay attention to it will have no

246
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: better understanding of what happens in his story than someone

247
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: who did not pay attention at all. So you missed

248
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: truly nothing. He's Tad Hamilton's and when a date with

249
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: Tad Hamilton's. Oh yeah, he's in at least one of

250
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: the Transformers movies and some other stuff. Who is this man?

251
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm just not interested? Um, I guess yeah, let's let's see.

252
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: Let's see. Yeah. I don't know how to recap this

253
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: exact in the year on the most difficult recap of

254
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: all time. Okay, I mean it's not unlike Cats in

255
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: that a bunch of characters just keep getting introduced and

256
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: introduced and introduced, and then there's no story, and then

257
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: there's a climax sort of and then it's the end.

258
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: So it's really similar structurally to Cats if you think

259
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: about it anyway. You gotta hand it to New Year's Eve.

260
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: So again, this is like an ensemblement movie in the

261
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: vein of love. Actually, it's trying very hard to be

262
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: love actually and not succeeding, and that is embarrassing. But um,

263
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: we're in New York City. It is New Year's Eve. Day.

264
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: I think there are like seven main storylines, but then

265
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: a couple of them kind of morphed together by the end,

266
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: so it's sort of hard in a way that goes

267
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: to be like wow, but it's this, This is like

268
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: they're really reaching for love actually, because some of the

269
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: stories intersect there. But it's like, and it doesn't work

270
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: for me in that movie either, but this one is like, huh,

271
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: why would you do that? It fails, We don't care,

272
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: So it's worth mentioning New York City in a way

273
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: is the main character is really the protagonist of the film.

274
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: It's just kind of a love letter to New York.

275
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: I love the part where Robert de Niro is like, ah,

276
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: that New York Air. You're like, yeah, that's disgusting, that

277
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: New York Air as it smells like trash all the time.

278
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: It smells like something really wet that you can identify,

279
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: like awesome. Yeah. They named all the segments, uh, really

280
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: boring and that did you see in the credits where

281
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: they're like resolution tour, hospital Story, Maternity, Ward Jensen and

282
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Laura's story, Ellen the Mother Daughter, a Hearn party, Times Square.

283
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: This is so the pinnacle of creativity if you ask me, okay,

284
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: so um. The other note about this is that I'm

285
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: going to use actors names instead of characters names, just

286
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: for the sake of clarity, because there are truly dozens

287
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: and dozens of characters, um, and most of them are

288
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: played by famous people, so that'll just make everything more clear.

289
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm also probably gonna, like accidentally or on purpose, leave

290
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: some stuff out of this recap because there's just like

291
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: far too much to even talk about. But here's the gist. So.

292
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: One story revolves around Hilary Swank. She is the VP

293
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: of the Times Square Alliance and she is in charge

294
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: of the famous ball drop at midnight, she flips a

295
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: gigantic light switch and that's her whole thing. But she

296
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: has vertigo, so Chris has a cop right sure. Another

297
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: story revolves around Zac Efron, who is a bike courier

298
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: and he really wants to do some like big epic

299
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: party for New Year's Eve that night with Ashton Kutcher,

300
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: his roommate. With Ashton Kutcher his roommate, Um, he drops

301
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: something off a package for Michelle Peffer at her office

302
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: at a record company, and that turns out to be

303
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: four tickets to this very exclusive party that Zach would

304
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: love to go to, but she's like, get away from me,

305
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: and then she quits her shitty job with her shitty boss,

306
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: John Lisco. John Litco is the only person who knows

307
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: what movie he's in, and he has such a fun performance.

308
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: He goes like because she works at like a record

309
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: that ahearn record company, and he's like, yes, you know,

310
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: it's very not bad year for music, music piracy, blah

311
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: blah blah. It's like, did you just skip over some

312
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: of the script. And then when she says I quit,

313
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: he goes, you can't quit. It's Grammy season. I was like,

314
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: this is so vague. Michelle Phifer's wig is so distracting. Really,

315
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm like she we were texting about this last night.

316
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: But it's like everyone in this movie is playing themselves

317
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: except for Michelle Pfeiffer, who is like doing this character. Yeah,

318
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: and okay, here's what's really did you get this sense

319
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: to when you first watched the movie and you're first

320
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: introduced to her character she has seen getting off of

321
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: a bus. She's holding a piece of paper. It makes

322
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: it seem like this is her like first time in

323
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: New York because immediately after that she almost she like

324
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: goes to cross the street and then almost gets hit

325
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: by a cab and then has to like twirl around

326
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: and then Pratt falls into a pile of trash. But

327
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: then you find out she's lived here for years, right,

328
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: So I'm like, why would you set up this character

329
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: that way? Like that so much reads as like she

330
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: just got off the bus in New York City where

331
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: she's never been before, and she doesn't know how to

332
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: cross the street or she doesn't know how to like

333
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: navigate through the city. That's like a trope. Like you

334
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: you see that shot and you're like, oh, I know

335
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: what's happening, But then they make it they twisted for

336
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: no reason. It's so weird. Like the way that this

337
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: character is written is just like I don't even know

338
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: if it's sexisty, I know, it makes no sense. I know,

339
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: like I I guess it is sexist, but it's so

340
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: nonsensical that you're just like, what were they trying to do?

341
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: Even like she doesn't seem to know what her job is,

342
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: or like she she doesn't I don't know what her

343
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: job is, but she also doesn't know what her job is.

344
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: Zach Efron comes to deliver her the mail every day,

345
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: but he says he's a bike courier, not a male man.

346
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: And then he says, I've seen you every I've brought

347
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: you a package every day this year, and you've never

348
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: looked at me, which is like, uh, if Zach Effron

349
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: delivered me a package every day, I would like no,

350
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, and not look at anything else. I would

351
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: be thinking about him constantly. And then she's invited to

352
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: like this cool party, this like big record label party,

353
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: the record label she is currently working at. And then

354
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: he's like, oh wow, that's a really cool party and

355
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: she's like, really, what is it. I'm like, you work here,

356
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? If it truly? I like that?

357
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: And finally I like that Zach Efron's character's name is Paul. Paul.

358
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: Here's a whole there's that whole thing where he sings

359
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: that little song he goes, give all the chance to

360
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: show you what I can do. It's like, what if

361
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: his character's name isn't Paul? And he was just kind

362
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: of guessing, Oh, funny, Sorry, this is a disaster. I know. Well,

363
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: the record company that Michelle Peiffer works at is the

364
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: same card company that is owned by Josh Dummel's character's

365
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: mother and his storyline. His storyline is that he is

366
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: trying to make his way to New York from Connecticut,

367
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: where he like was just the witness of its friend's

368
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: wedding or something on the morning of New Year's Eve. Sure, yeah,

369
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: people have weddings then not absolutely made no assent, Like

370
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: I just like, who are these people? Okay, we just

371
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: need to get him. We haven't even gotten to Jessica

372
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: Beale's unvaccinated fetus unbelievable. She an anti vaxer, big time

373
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: anti vaxer. Very weird seeing her play a pregnant lady

374
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: because you're like, this kid is in for a world

375
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: of heart horrifying. She's bad. Well, Josh Jamel is trying

376
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: to get to New York because he is giving a

377
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: speech at an event which turns out to be the

378
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: party that Zeke Efron is trying to go to, and

379
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: he's also considering meeting up with a woman who he

380
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: met last New Year's Eve, so that's his setup. Um

381
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: onto zac Efron's roommate, Ashton Kutcher. He hates New Year's Eve.

382
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: He's a grinch about New Year's here re arranges the

383
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: sign this is happy New Year's even makes it say

384
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: crappy New Year's Eve? Where did those letters come from?

385
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Where did the scene in the art come from? How

386
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: did you get that? This is the worst written movie

387
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: of all time? More like crappy New Year's Eve? Ashton

388
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: Kutcher is so bad. I mean he's so bad and

389
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: really honestly most movies. Um, but have you ever seen jobs,

390
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: Steve Jobs? You've seen jobs there? Well? There there are

391
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: a few moments in the elevator where he's channeling jobs.

392
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: When he goes an illustrator, You're like, oh, that's like

393
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: he's prepping for jobs anyway. Sorry, he doesn't want to

394
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: do anything to celebrate New Year's Eve, and he's on

395
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: his way to like throw out a bunch of New

396
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: Year's decorations, but oh no, he gets stuck in his

397
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: apartment buildings elevator with Leah Michelle. Is that how you

398
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: say her name? William Michelle? Yeah, so we have in

399
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: this storyline, we have, um, Leah Michelle, a confirmed racist,

400
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: and Ashton Kutcher, an early investor in Uber and the

401
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: worst actor of all time. And we're supposed to be

402
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: like you should kiss and I'm like I need to

403
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: get out of these scenes as quickly as possible. Uh So,

404
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: Lea Michelle is on her way to be a backup

405
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: singer for Jon bon Jovi a k A. Jensen bon Jensen,

406
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: and he is playing the like televised Times Square Ball

407
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: Drop Concert like Ryan Seacrest hosted, Blah blah blah that

408
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: whole thing. He has a romantic history with Katherine Heigel,

409
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: who is catering the Big A Hearn Records after party.

410
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: That's with her co workers Russell Peters and Sophia Vergara. Yes,

411
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: then we meet Sarah Michelle Geller. She wants to spend

412
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: the evening with her daughter, Abigail Treslin. Sorry, you mean

413
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker. What did I say, Sarah Michelle Geller.

414
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: I keep doing that and I literally named Sarah. It

415
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: makes sense, that makes it. Meanwhile, Sarah Jessica Parker. I

416
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: even have that written down and I still said the

417
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: wrong thing. Okay. It took me a second to be like, wait,

418
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: who is it? Then I couldn't remember Sarah Michelle Geller's

419
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker. Okay, we have to leave this in

420
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker wants to spend the evening with her daughter,

421
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: Abigail Breslin, but Abigail is trying to go to Times

422
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: Square with her friends and she wants to kiss her

423
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: crush at midnight. Yeah. She also lifts her shirt in

424
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: the middle of a train station in their first seen

425
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: because reasons. I was horrified to see that. It is

426
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: so weird. She's fifteen in this movie, and um, why

427
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: do that it? It doesn't make sense for a character

428
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: to do. It doesn't make sense for Gary Marshall to

429
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: tell a child to do it doesn't even make sense

430
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: for her character. She's not kind of like her character

431
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: isn't like wooho, look at me, Like she's not an exhibitionist.

432
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: He nothing about it. It makes any sense tracks And

433
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: on top of that, it's like, yeah, why is a

434
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: child lifting up her shirt and exposing her bra in public?

435
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: And why is her mom not reacting to that? She

436
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: her mom, well, her mom does say this isn't girls

437
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: gone wild? And she like runs over to like she

438
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: runs over to like cover her up, and I've seen

439
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: that does tragically pass the Bechtel test. I'm just realizing

440
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: that Leah Michelle's character was named Elise. Yeah, it's so weird.

441
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: It's like some characters get full names in this movie,

442
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: other characters don't. Like zac Efron is only known as

443
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: Paul Um, but Michelle Peiffer is constantly referred to as

444
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: Ingrid Withers, like her full name all the time, like

445
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: why why, which I feel like it is, like, hey, audience,

446
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: in case you didn't know, this is a character who

447
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: is far far older than zac Efron. See she has

448
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: an old person name Ingrid Withers, whereas he is young

449
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: and cool, and therefore he is Paul. I don't know.

450
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure rooting for them. So that's Sarah Jessica Parker,

451
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: not Sarah Michelle Geller. So that's her storyline with Abigail Breslin.

452
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: Then we cut to a hospital where Robert de Niro

453
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: is dying. Halle Berry is a nurse who tends to

454
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: him his nurse, his nurse who he thinks is his

455
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: wife sometimes um. Yes. His dying wish is to see

456
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: the ball drop in Times Square one last time with

457
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: his own eyes. He wants to go up on the roof,

458
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: but his doctor Carrie and then I'm going to have

459
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: like a you and McGregor moment here because I don't

460
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: know how to say his last name. He's the guy

461
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: from what could be Princess Bride, Princess Bride guy. This okay,

462
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: This whole thing with Robert de Niro is so vague.

463
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: On the second watch, I was like, maybe I will

464
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: figure out what is going on here. It seems like

465
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 1: he is in the late stages of cancer. He has

466
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: stopped refusing or he has started to refuse treatment, which

467
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: does happen. But then he's like, I didn't. Do you

468
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: think I came here because the hospital is good. No,

469
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: I came here because I want to get on the

470
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: roof of this hospital. And you're like huh, And then

471
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: he keeps saying. It was like, on my second watch,

472
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: I was racking up because his whole thing is he's like,

473
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: just take me up on the roof so I can die,

474
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: and it's this whole thing. And then when everyone's like

475
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: why why do you want to why why? And he's

476
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: like I'm an asshole or he's like I've been I've

477
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: made so many bad choices. But he never says what

478
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: any of those choices are. No one ever do we

479
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: even did I miss something? Does he say what he

480
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: did that was bad because he keeps being like, I'm

481
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: an ass, I made so many mistakes and you're like,

482
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: were you like fracking? Like what are you doing that

483
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: is so bad that you want to die today? Like

484
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: it's just so weird. Um. I don't think they specify.

485
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: My impression was that he was just sort of like

486
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: an absentee father and husband kind of person. It's the

487
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: way he was talking made it sound like he had

488
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: done something really or some like because if because like

489
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: most maybe as a generalization, but like most parents who

490
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: worked a lot aren't like I need to die right

491
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: now because I feel bad that I had to work.

492
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: Like it sounds like he did something bad. It sounds

493
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: like he really fucked you. And I kind of him

494
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: curious as to like what he did, because he's clearly

495
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: racked with gilt over something. Right, But don't worry, he'll

496
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: get a redemption arc because it's a holiday season movie.

497
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he was like Henry Kissinger's assistant or something like

498
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: like something this man did something really bad. Otherwise he

499
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: would not be telling anyone who will listen that he

500
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: was a bad person and needs to die right now.

501
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, something's going on meanwhile at the

502
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: same hospital question mark Sarah Paulson, Oh yeah, I didn't

503
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: even think of that. I think it's the same one,

504
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: but I'm not totally sure. Um, Sarah Paulson and Jessica

505
00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: Biel are both extremely gregnant. And the thing with this

506
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: hospital is that if you are the first person to

507
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: give birth on New Year's Day, that family wins dollars

508
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: from that hospital. And like, huh, is that is that

509
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: a thing that happened? Maybe I don't know, um, but

510
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: they are both vying for this grand and Jessica Biale

511
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: is married to Seth Meyers. Sure right. There's also it's

512
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: like a good like there's not one Like I would say,

513
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: I would argue that if I had to choose a

514
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: pairing and none of the pairing seth chemistry. But I

515
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: had to be like, who has the most chemistry, I

516
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: would honestly probably say Zach Effron and Michelle Pfeiffer. And

517
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: that's not a compliment, like they don't have a lot

518
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: of chemistry, but everyone else is just like they're just

519
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: saying lines near each other, like I feel like everyone's

520
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: missing each other's eyeline, And I mean and I feel like, yeah,

521
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: that my my two bottom couples are definitely Seth Meyers

522
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: and Jessica Beale horrible and who wait, keep losing track

523
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: of who is even where? Oh? Aston Catcher and Lea

524
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: Michelle those are my bottom right. I truly could not

525
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: track the logic of that relationship. And then Sarah Paulson

526
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: is married to I know is married to Till Schweiger,

527
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: who I wrote down in my notes brilliantly. But he

528
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: looks like he should be the villain of a National

529
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: Treasure movie. So oh, he definitely does. Wow. I did

530
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: not know who this man is. He is that bad.

531
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea who is. He's a German actor

532
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: who's in some American cinema, but he's also in a

533
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of German films. Um, yeah, I recognize him, but

534
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I couldn't. I like had to look up

535
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: his name. He I didn't like his character. His character

536
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: was really aggressive. He also like runs a charm school. Randomly, like,

537
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: why do we learn what his job is? It has

538
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything. I did not. I didn't

539
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: catch on the first one, and then the second one.

540
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: I was like, why would you add this detail? The Yeah,

541
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: he runs a charm school, which is like, um, I guess,

542
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: but also he's not very charming, so I don't know,

543
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: like what my my, I think one of my top

544
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: worst moments of the movie is when so like it

545
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: becomes this weird masculine race to who can get their

546
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: wives water to break the fastest, which is first of all,

547
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: a really gross premise for a vignyet and so it's

548
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: it's like Till Schweiger and Seth Meyers being like, my

549
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: wife's gonna water break any minute, and I'm making her

550
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: eat an chovies and You're like, this is so gross.

551
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: And then Sarah Paulson goes up to tell Schweiger and

552
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: like apologizes to him because her water hasn't broken yet.

553
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's so bleak. She's like, I'm sorry, honey.

554
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to get the money because

555
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: I couldn't induce labor on command. Like, also, Sarah Paulson,

556
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 1: did you feel I felt that Sarah Paulson's pregnancy looked

557
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: extra fake, like way faker than Jessica Bale's. I don't

558
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: know what, like, but Sarah pauls it couldn't have been

559
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: clear to me that they just like velcrode something on

560
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: it just like stuffed with lumpy pillow up into her shirt,

561
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: Like why did she get a worse did they only

562
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: have two? And then Jessica bials like I get the

563
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: good one. I don't know. Sarah Paulson's looked super fake.

564
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: Well I'm guessing like fifty of the budget went to

565
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: paying bon Jovi, so I don't know shot budgensons. I

566
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: can't get over it. Yeah, so yeah, she plays this

567
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: is like early. I was trying to figure out is

568
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 1: this um oh oh this wait, okay, I just learned

569
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: something interesting. Oh please tell me. Sarah Paulson and Cherry

570
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: Jones were together from two thousand four to two thousand nine,

571
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: meaning that they were recent x's at the time of

572
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: this movie. I don't know. That has nothing to do

573
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: with anything. I just didn't know that. I was trying

574
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: to figure out if this if this movie came out

575
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: when Sarah Paulson was famous, or if this was a

576
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: movie that she did, like right before she got famous,

577
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: because she got famous doing like American Horror Story and stuff.

578
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: But I don't know when that was. I feel like

579
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: this was either right around then the cusp of them,

580
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: or just like right before that, right it had to,

581
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 1: because it's like there's some people it's it's really hard

582
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: to because like these movies are so in the moment

583
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: that it's kind of some people are bigger stars than

584
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: they used to be, and then other people are presented

585
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: as huge stars and now they're kind of not and

586
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: so it's just very jarring, Like it's very much a

587
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: time capsule of this is like peek Lea Michelle when now,

588
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: like everyone this was like, so, I think we were

589
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be excited about that Katherine Heigel. It's always

590
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: weird to be like and now it's Katherine Heigel and

591
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: everyone was like, so what you know, but an other

592
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: person who is who has ended up, you know, being

593
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: exposed as as a villainous person. Oh no, what did

594
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: she do? She was accused of a bunch of similar

595
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: to Lea Michelle, a bunch of racist micro aggressions on

596
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: the set of Gray's Anatomy, much like Lea Michelle did

597
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: on Glee. So, um, yeah, I guess my apologist those people. Yeah, okay,

598
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: so that is the setup for all of these storylines.

599
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and then we'll come back

600
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: and see what happens next and we're back, all right,

601
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: So here are the stories that unfold. I guess um,

602
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: the pregnant women start to try to induce labor. I

603
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: hate this scene with Jessica Bielle and the anchovy I'm

604
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: all right, I just can't get over it, so nastysty

605
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: bon Jovi, meanwhile, is trying to win back Katherine Heigel

606
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: after bailing on their engagement last year, which we learn

607
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: in very expository dialogue. It's so okay. That made me

608
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: laugh so much because there he John bon Jensen is

609
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: such a disaster in this Like he keeps wandering around

610
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: being like I don't understand. Why won't you give me

611
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: another chance? And then Sophia for Car is like, well

612
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: what did you do? He's like, well, I proposed to

613
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: her and then I immediately disappeared last year. And I'm like, well,

614
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: of course she hates you. What are you talking? Rights like,

615
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't understand. He's like, she also two years old.

616
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, how could you not understand? She? Katherine Heigel

617
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: is like I didn't even get to cook you one

618
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: meal in our apartment together, and it's like women cooking,

619
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: Like why would that be the thing? She says a chef,

620
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, she's she's like a fancy chef. But even

621
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: so like that whole like, I mean, talk about two

622
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: people that have no chemistry. Chemistry. Jon bon Jensen is

623
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: struggling just to like seem like he is acting like

624
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: he cannot act and he's trying so hard, and he's

625
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: just something about the way he enters scenes I found

626
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: very jarring and clear that he wasn't an actor, because

627
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: he just seems like he's wandering into like a kitchen

628
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: and you're like, get out, what are you doing in here?

629
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: Growth There's a similar phenomenon happening with Ludicros, where like

630
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: suddenly he just like swivels around in a chair and

631
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: he's like Hi, That's why I thought there, Yeah, the

632
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: musicians in this movie are really clearly musicians and not

633
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: not actors. I mean, Ludicrous is being done a disservice.

634
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's being done a disservice, but Ludacris is being done

635
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: an extra disservice. But he is like just kind of

636
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: all of a sudden there he's just all He's just

637
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: like Hilary Swank is my best friend, and she's afraid

638
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: of heights, and as we know, I'm gonna I just

639
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he has a cop pick Hillary Swank up,

640
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, I love my friend and this is

641
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: how I help her. I have my coworker pick her up.

642
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: And you're just like, I hate this friends. Stop makes

643
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: no sense. Um okay. Meanwhile, Abigail Breslin sneaks out of

644
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: her apartment, and that makes it sound like she has

645
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: her own apartment. She sneaks out of the apartment that

646
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: she lives in with her mom, whose name is either

647
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: Sarah Michelle Gallery or Sarah Jessica Parker. We don't know

648
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: our character name, and we're not going to look it up.

649
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: We simply don't care. She sneaks out and goes to

650
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Times Square and then her mom like tries to chase

651
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: after her and figure out where she's gone. Meanwhile, Josh

652
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: Dummel crashes his car and then has to hit your

653
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: ride in an RV with a pastor and either the

654
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: pastor or the pastor's his wife, horny dad making very

655
00:39:55,239 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: gross comments the whole way. Um. Like, then, back in

656
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: New York City, Robert de Niro is like expressing all

657
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: of his regrets about not being a better person. It's

658
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: all very vague. We're like, what did you do? I

659
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: think he like he has to be like working high

660
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: up in the government, and like I was gonna say,

661
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: like he was he like the president of some like

662
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: um could be Wall Street. Maybe they're in New York.

663
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: I just feel like Robert de niro characters don't feel

664
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: guilty over like nothing, you know, like he plays very

665
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: hardened characters. Right, his character did something really bad. Maybe

666
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: maybe he's playing the same character that he did in

667
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: Taxi Driver and his character and Taxi Driver does some

668
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: very fucked up stuff. That's the Canada. He's on his

669
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: death bed being like I just want to see the

670
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: ball drop with my daughter. Hilary Swank. So weird. The twist.

671
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, by the way, spoiler alert the twist, Hilary

672
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: Swank is his daughter. Yeah, what does he die? At

673
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: the end? He does, I'm pretty sure because she's like

674
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: holding his like personal items, as if he passed away.

675
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: That is so confusing because on the first I realized

676
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: at the end of my first viewing, I'm like, I

677
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: don't even know if he lived. At the end, no,

678
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: I think he dies and then it's like the stroke

679
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: of midnight or something like did he die on the roof,

680
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: because that was the other thing. I'm like, Hallie Berry

681
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: is about to lose her job. She lets Hilary Swank

682
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: like abduct her dying father to bring him to the roof.

683
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,479
Speaker 1: And then Hallie Berry is like, I know, it's all good.

684
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm too busy. I skyping with common who's

685
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: overseas in the military, who was nominated for an award

686
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: for that yet I saw that, um, But so Hallie

687
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: Berry is like whatever, but then yeah, it seems like

688
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: maybe he possibly died on the roof. And then she

689
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: had to like, what bring her father's right, and then

690
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: just be like verd of all, Hillary's might be accused

691
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: of murder if there is not if there is not

692
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: good video surveillance of like what exactly happened, She's in

693
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble, true. But instead she's just pulled

694
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: into a room full of infants and they're like, look

695
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: at these Do you feel better? And she's like, yes, right,

696
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: it's like her dad died, but now she's looking at newborn's.

697
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: It's the circle of life. Some people die, some people

698
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: are born. Wow. I yeah. And also I felt like

699
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: there was just a weird element of and maybe I'm

700
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: like overthinking a little bit, but I'm like, oh, nothing

701
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: cheers up a woman like a room full of babies,

702
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: because women be wanting babies really bad. There's so many

703
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: like stereotypes, and we'll talk about them, but like women

704
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: stereotyped in a particular way happens countless times in this movie. Yeah, um, okay,

705
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: so what happens nex um zac Efron. He is taking

706
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: Michelle Cifer all around the city to check off her

707
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: New Year's resolutions. And then Ryan Seacrest as himself. Funny,

708
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: He's one of the few celebrities in the movie who

709
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: is actually playing himself. It's so funny. So like half

710
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: of this cast has been canceled since this movie came out,

711
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: Like it's like astounding. And then on top of that,

712
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg comes out and you're like shocking. Um. So

713
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Seacrest is like, all right, everyone, it's six pm

714
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: in Times Square. Let's raise the ball so that we

715
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: can drop it at midnight. So they go to raise it,

716
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: but oh no, it's broken and it won't go up.

717
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: So then Hilary Swain has to call someone named Kaminski,

718
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: who turns out to be Eldo died and you're like, oh,

719
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: I want so much better for him than this caricature

720
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: of a of a character. Yeah, so Hector Elisondo shows

721
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: up to fix the ball, and then Hilary Swank gives

722
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: this like what is meant to be a moving speech

723
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: that is televised across the entire nation. For some reason,

724
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: everyone sees it in Times Square. At Times Square is

725
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: silent captivated by Hillary Swank's speech. I also let there's

726
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: so many like details of this movie, like in in

727
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: Times Square specifically where there's like a huge poster for

728
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes Trunk of Secrets or whatever. The fun The

729
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,479
Speaker 1: second movie was starring Robert Downey. Oh, sorry, Sherlock Holmes

730
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: A Game of Shadow. I was gonna call a Book

731
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: of Shadows, but I think that might be the National Treasures.

732
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: It is a Game of Shadows, Trunk of Secrets. It

733
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: was all it's all the same, but they're they're like

734
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: heavily advertising an extremely Sherlock Holmes A movie is actually

735
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: what it's called disaster. Okay, so everyone sees this speech. Meanwhile,

736
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: Leah Michelle and Ashton Kutcher have started to bond. They're

737
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: about to kiss, but then the elevator starts back up

738
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: again and she has to leave to go sting for

739
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: Jensen bon Jensen. Also he's so rude to her. She

740
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: she like, he's like, what are you a groupie? And like, uh,

741
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: have some respects, sir. She's John Bond, Jensen's backup singer,

742
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: like this is the worst of me. And he's like,

743
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm an illustrator, Like I did not want them to kiss.

744
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: I was thrilled they didn't get to kiss, but they

745
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: do later I know. Well. And there's also like it

746
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: goes without like you can tell by looking at the

747
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: poster and the year this movie came out that there's

748
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: just like no consent in the entire people just like

749
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: launching each other at each other's heads. It's gross to

750
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: look at. I have a list of all the like

751
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: the sexual harassment and sexual misconduct that happens in the movie.

752
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: It's horror genuinely nasty. Yeah, okay. So meanwhile, zac Efron

753
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: is really close to getting his tickets to this exclusive party,

754
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: but then Michelle Phiffer overhears him calling her pathetic because

755
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: he's screaming in an open room with three feet away

756
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: from her. He's like, hello, I'm with this lady. She's

757
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: fucking pathetic. And then she's like I She's like, I'm

758
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: right here. I heard that. And he's like, oh my god,

759
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. What are you doing? What do you

760
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: think was going to happen? So she's like, I don't

761
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: want to do this anymore, and he thinks that he

762
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: blew it. But then he's like, I'm so sorry. I'm

763
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna make this up to you and I'm going to

764
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: amaze you and and all of your resolutions are gonna

765
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: come true and blah blah blah, all this stuff. Okay,

766
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: the scene where he you know, the one I'm talking about.

767
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: The scene where all of a sudden Michelle Phifer is

768
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: in like Spider Man turn off the dark, like like

769
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: they're just flinging her around the stage. It was so

770
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: scary and it like made my eyes hurt to look at. Yeah,

771
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: it was so like However, that was edited. I don't

772
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: know if Michelle Peiffer was like, um, I'm not actually

773
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: going to do that. You have to like green screening.

774
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: But it like hurt my eyes to look at, and

775
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: it hurt my head to think about, like why are

776
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: they doing this? Why why, But it was also like

777
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: it just felt so because her thing was like I

778
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: need to be amazed. That was like her resolution. Her

779
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: list is fucking ridiculous. It's so basic. It's like such

780
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: basic white woman ship, and I'm just like, are you

781
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: It makes just that character is so and also I

782
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: feel like there is like some ages of met play

783
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: and the way that character is written, because they're like

784
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: like I feel like there is this whole element of like,

785
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: look at this, like you are supposed to think that

786
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: she's pathetic a little bit, oh yeah, but then we're like,

787
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: oh wait, Paul thinks she's cool, so I guess she's cool.

788
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: Like you're just like he validates her, and that whole

789
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: I mean, none of these stories makes sense. But she's

790
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: just like call she rents Paul for a day, which

791
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: is not how bike couriers work. Uh, you can't just

792
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: rent a bike courier for a day. But also he

793
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: is already doing the work of a mailman, so we

794
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: don't even know what's going on. He also has two bikes.

795
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: He has a regular bicycle and then he also has

796
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: like a moped scooter thing. This is why I'm very

797
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: glad I watched this movie twice because I'm like, Wow,

798
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: he seems to have a lot of money for someone

799
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: who says that he does not have any money, because

800
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: he has a gigantic apartment that he shares with Ashton Kutcher.

801
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: They live in like a loft or something, multiple bikes.

802
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: Like he's just like he's kind of like living. He's

803
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: he must be from money or something. Well, did you

804
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 1: notice this Whenever he goes into like the record company

805
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: to deliver the initial package to Michelle Peiffer, He's just

806
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: like seen going into their like kitchen and like other

807
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: spaces like rifling through stuff and stealing it. He steals

808
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of CDs, and he like steals a bunch

809
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 1: of like coffee creamer and stuff. I don't know what

810
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: this guy's deal is at. I think we're supposed to

811
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: think he's like scrappy in his twenties and like doesn't

812
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of money, but like that doesn't make sense.

813
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: And also it's like that's sort of like I don't know.

814
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 1: It seems like Gary Marshall wants you to believe like, oh,

815
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: New York gets magical and like, you know, Zachary, but

816
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't understand how Paul has all these connections. They're like,

817
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm a bike career, therefore I can rig

818
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: you up in the theater whenever I want. You're just like, no,

819
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: you can't. Or like when he goes he opened that

820
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: really jarring shot where he opens up a storage container

821
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: and there's a luxury spaw inside, and it was like

822
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: here here we are in Bali and you're like Meanwhile,

823
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: Michelle Pifer is like, she's like, ah, we're in Brooklyn,

824
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: the scariest neighborhood. I hate it here. It's so dangerous Brooklyn.

825
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: And it's just like shut that whole her list. It

826
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: was really funny too. I was like, wow, should we

827
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: try to pull that list off next year? One like

828
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: Save a Life? Like ridiculous, it's ludicrous, it's officer ludicrous,

829
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 1: it's Lieutenant Ludacris. Do you okay? So then we find

830
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: out that Hillary Swank is like planning to go meet

831
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: up with someone that night, and it's set up for

832
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: us to think that Hillary Swank and Josh Jumel are

833
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: like meeting up with each other, but then it's not,

834
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: because Hillary goes and meets up with her dad, Robert

835
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: de Niro and She takes him up to the roof

836
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: where he immediately dies. Where he dies, then the ball drops. Wow,

837
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. Jessica Bale's in labor. Yes, the Gragnant

838
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: women are giving birth. Leah Michelle is singing old lang sign.

839
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: Zac Efron shows up and hisses Michelle's life for surprise

840
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: kisses her mind you launches himself at her. The god

841
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: some of the grossest no consent like surprise kisses in

842
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 1: the whole film canon here. I also think it's worth mentioning.

843
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher shows up to be like good luckily and Michelle,

844
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 1: I'm your like loser boyfriend now the prize and she's

845
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: like okay, but he brings this thing that I only

846
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 1: recently learned about from a YouTube channel I watched. But like,

847
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: he brings her this really weird dated item that's like

848
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: a balanced bracelet that are like do you remember those

849
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: They They were a thing ten years ago. I didn't

850
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: know they existed. But he it looks like a live

851
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: strong band, but there's like a little piece of stone

852
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: in it and it's some It was some bullshit scam

853
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: that they did in the early two tents where they're like,

854
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,479
Speaker 1: oh you balance better when you wear this thirty dollar

855
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: bracelet that's just plastic. I know he references that, but

856
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was just making a joke where it's

857
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: like ha ha, if you don't have this cheap rubber bracelet,

858
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: it might offset your balance. I didn't realize that was

859
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: a real thing, like a balance brace. Tragically, that was

860
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 1: a real thing. Yeah, paging officer ludicrous, give what's going on? God?

861
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: And I mean they're obviously like funck the myp D.

862
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: But then at the end where the New York cops

863
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: just started kissing people, you're like, what the fuck is

864
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: going on? And it's happening. Well, here comes another surprise kiss.

865
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: Abigail Breslin goes and like finally finds her crush in

866
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 1: Times Square t Austin a Disney star or an Glodeon star. Yeah,

867
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: I have I have no idea who that was. He

868
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: was on Wizards of Waverley Place, okay um, But this

869
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: other girl grabs him in surprise, kisses him. And then

870
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: Abigail Breslin sees this and she gets sad. But then

871
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: the boys like, wait a minute, no, I got surprised

872
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: kiss you have it all wrong. I want to kiss you,

873
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: and then he surprised kisses Abigail Preslin. Just she's wearing

874
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: fingerless gloves for all of this. Oh I didn't even

875
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: notice that two thousand eleven she is wearing fingerless clubs.

876
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: Oh there's another just quick, this is uh. Seth Meyers

877
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: and Jessica Biel comment. But one of one of my

878
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: one of the most baffling line exchanges in the movie

879
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: for me was she's doing yoga to induce labor. She

880
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: just wants dollars even though they seem to have a

881
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 1: ton of money right to pay off. Seth Meyer's student

882
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: loaned it. Oh my gosh. So yes. So this is

883
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: the scene where you find out that he's a horse doctor.

884
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: He's he like walks and he's like, where are you

885
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: doing yoga? Like stop? And then she goes okay, and

886
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: then she she says, you are going to be a

887
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: great vet someday, Griff, and then he says thanks, and

888
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: then he makes a long joke about like, well, what

889
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: if I married a horse, that I would be married

890
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: to a horse, but I'm not. I'm married to you anyways,

891
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: why aren't you in labor? And I was like, what

892
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: the funk is going on? Here this is he's a

893
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: horse doctor. He used to pay off his horse doctor.

894
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: So in that storyline of the two gregnant women, we

895
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: learn what both of their husbands do for a living,

896
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: but we don't want anything about the two women and

897
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: the husband's jobs are ridiculous. It's a horse doctor and

898
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: charms school owner. Like there we we I'm trying to think.

899
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, we know what Hillary Swank does, we know

900
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: what Katherine Heigel does. I would argue, we don't know

901
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: what Michelle Phiffer does. Michelle Phiffer doesn't even know what

902
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: she does. That's why she's full. I think she's the

903
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: assistant to John Lethgo. But it's so vague that it

904
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: really could be anything. We sort of know what Sarah

905
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: jess I almost said it again, Sarah Jessica Parker does,

906
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: because she's like a costume signer the Rockets Nic only

907
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: in New York. I guess we know what some of

908
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: the characters. It's just so like. But but yeah, it

909
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: seems pointed that you don't know what the two of

910
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: very pregnant people do for a living. It's almost as

911
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: if to say, like, well, they are mothers, so they

912
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a career. Pregnancy is a full time job,

913
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: so weird, but yeah, he needs to pay off his

914
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: Also there's that Matthew Broderick cameo or first of all,

915
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: is that just like a deal that him and Sarah

916
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 1: Jessica Parker have, like you get both of us and

917
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: they're like, well, we don't want Matthew Broderick and he's like, well,

918
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: write me a scene anyways. Also his name is Mr Buellerton. Oh,

919
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: Ferris Buellerton's day off? Maybe what a what a mess?

920
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: What a mess? Um? Also pretty cool that Sarah Jessica

921
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: Parker is like, yeah, my husband needs to be in

922
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: the movie, but I'm not going to kiss him. I'm

923
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: going to kiss Josh. Yeah, okay, So that brings us

924
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: to Josh Dummel dumal whatever. Goes to the spot where

925
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: he was supposed to meet this like mystery woman who

926
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: he met last year. It seems like she's not going

927
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: to show up, but then she does and surprise it's

928
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker and we're like, we're we supposed to

929
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 1: care about this at all? No hard to know um,

930
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: And then they kiss and we're like, whoa, I guess

931
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: that's the end of the movie. It's Josh Is it

932
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 1: joshd Mall's voice over at the end of the movie,

933
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: because at the end it was like I believe, So

934
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: that was confusing to me. I did not catch that

935
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: the first time. I was like, And then at the end,

936
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: someone just starts talking, I have no idea. I wasn't

937
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: sure if it was him or maybe de Niro's ghost. So,

938
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: oh my god. When when they literally I mean the

939
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: way that all these storylines and are so sloppy, but

940
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: when Hilary Swank leaves to go see if she's like,

941
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: by Ludacris, has been fun being in this movie with you,

942
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 1: and then he's like my little rugrats and You're like, stunt,

943
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: don't weird? Weird? Maybe they are. Then I was like,

944
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: what if those are his actual kids and they did

945
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's it wasn't yeah, yeah, yeah,

946
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: who knows um, But I think that's the end of

947
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: the movie. Then there's like this credit montage of mostly

948
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: Zach Effron dancing, and then there's also bloopers, but then

949
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: that's it. Did you find it really jarring in the

950
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: credits where okay, it looked like the credits were like

951
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: they put all the names of all the main actors,

952
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: but they didn't put any of the names over the

953
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: actor that they were talking. So it was I was

954
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: like dying. It kept cutting like they credit like it

955
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: was shots of zac Effron when they for ludicrous, it

956
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: was shots of zac Efron. When they were crediting Liam Michelle.

957
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: It was a shot of zac Efron. When they were

958
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: crediting Jon bon Jovi, Like they put Michelle Peiffer over

959
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker. It was like it made that's like

960
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: editing one oh one, and they fucked up cotting back

961
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: to Zach Effron for everyone except for zac Efron, and

962
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: that was John bon Jovi, Like this is so weird.

963
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Well that's the story. Let's take a

964
00:57:55,880 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back to discuss, and we're

965
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: back back. I just wanted to shout out the blooper

966
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: real one more time. Did you have a favorite blooper um?

967
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, just because I love zach Efron so much,

968
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: I was like very endeared by I think he has

969
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: one or two little bloopers that gets snuck in there.

970
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: He seems like he was really hamming it up. He

971
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: really was oh he has, Yeah, he has one where

972
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: he calls Michelle Schifer the wrong character name. Uh, and

973
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: then he likes. And then there's another one where he likes.

974
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: He's like talking into the phone to Ashton Kutcher and

975
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: then he like does his line wrong and then he

976
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: has to like kind of swivels around. He's like, oh shoot,

977
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: So I liked those just because I love zac Efron.

978
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: My favorite one was when Hallie Berry the Hallie Berry

979
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: carry they're they're McGregor, so they're like they're walking down

980
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: the hallway and Hallie Berry is saying he needs to

981
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: be taken to hospice care, but she can't stop laughing. Uh,

982
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: maybe made sense if you were. It seems like you

983
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: had to be there, because it doesn't make sense to

984
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: me why she's like, he has to go to hospice

985
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,959
Speaker 1: Like he's like, halle Berry read the room, Yeah you almost,

986
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: and he's dying right. They should have included the context

987
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: store for why she was laughing, but they don't, and

988
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: then it just seems really insensitive, makes her seem really mean,

989
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: like very strange. And and then of course Jessica Biel

990
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: gives birth to a deep a widescreen DVD and a

991
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: blue ray of Valentine's Day because this all takes place

992
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: in the same expanded universe. Hilarious. I also wanted to

993
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: shout out some of the cameo performances that we haven't

994
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: already shouted out, such as Milana. I never ended up

995
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: finding her. I was confused by the two, and I

996
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: think it's partly because I don't really know what Alssa

997
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Milana looks like and I liked the same I'm suffering

998
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: from the same thing. But she was one of the

999
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: nurses in Robert de Niro almost called him Robert Downey Jr.

1000
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: God Trunk of Shadows. She's a nurse in Robert DeNiro's story.

1001
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: There's also um is it Yard Lee Smith? Rd Lee Smith? Oh?

1002
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Wait Bart Simpson? Yes? Where is where is Bart? Or?

1003
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Sorry Lisa Simpson. She's in the r V that Josh

1004
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Dummel is in. Uh see why I fast forward at

1005
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: the Josh Dumel scenes for self care, so I don't know.

1006
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: She plays a very kind of trophy character where she's

1007
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: just like in love with the idea of love and

1008
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: she's just like, oh my gosh, tell me about this

1009
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: love story between you and this woman. I love love

1010
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: it sounds like season two of you. Um. There's also

1011
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 1: Nat Wolf from The Naked Brothers Band is credit it

1012
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: as waiter, which makes no sense to me because he

1013
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: would have been like sixteen, so that he plays I

1014
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: guess he plays a waiter. I don't know who that is,

1015
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: so I can't say that's okay. Carlage God, I don't

1016
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: think I have ever tried to say her last name

1017
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: out loud since the Spy Kids episode. But Carla Gugino, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1018
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: a mom from Spy Kids, iconically, amongst other roles, is

1019
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: in it briefly. Briefly, she plays like a hippie doctor

1020
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: almost she's like an m D. But she also like

1021
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: does all this kind of holistic medicine approach. She's the

1022
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: one who pulls the DVDs out of Jessica Bale's vagina.

1023
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Hilarious joke. We all love it. Um. There's also Penny

1024
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Marshall is at the like record company party, and we

1025
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: see her being very mean to a service industry person.

1026
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Um, let's see. Oh, Jim Belushi plays

1027
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: the superintendent of the building with the broken l e Vader. Yeah,

1028
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: and you can just tell like that whole thing that

1029
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: had to be just a whole day of Ashton Kutcher

1030
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: kissing Jim Belushi's ass in a really like in a

1031
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: way that must have been really embarrassing to watch, where

1032
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: he's like, oh my god, I love your work so much,

1033
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: so influential to me, and you're just like Ashton Kutcher,

1034
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: shut the funk up, challenge, calm down. Yeah, there's probably

1035
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: some other people I'm forgetting about, but those those are

1036
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: all the famous people, and of course Mayor Michael Bloomer

1037
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: and Mike Bloomberg as himself. Disaster. You hate to see it?

1038
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: You do? Okay, where should we start? Well? I feel

1039
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: like the one of the more egregious elements of this

1040
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: movie and movies of this genre, are how they treat

1041
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: non white characters. Only white characters get meaningful love arcs

1042
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 1: in this movie. I would say meaningful storylines at all.

1043
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess so, but it's like, are any

1044
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: of these stories meaningful? I don't know, Like I guess

1045
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,919
Speaker 1: complete storyline. It's like, um, because we have a few

1046
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: people of color in this movie, but they're all in

1047
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: supporting roles, mostly to support a rich white lady in

1048
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: dating someone or uh, well, I guess so. So Russell

1049
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Peters and Sophia Rigara work with Katherine Heigel and they

1050
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: only exist to see what's going on with her and

1051
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: John bon Jensen. They don't get any meaningful storyline out

1052
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: of that. And then there's also Luda, Officer Luda, who

1053
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: is a friend of Hilary Swank and then is like, okay,

1054
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: like he doesn't need to be there. It's just weird

1055
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: that he's there at all, Like he I think we

1056
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: said this earlier, Like he could be written out of

1057
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: every scene and the movie would be kind of no different.

1058
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: He could also be a ghost in the movie would

1059
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: be no different. So that's not good writing for one

1060
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: of your only black actors in the movie. And then

1061
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: there's halle Berry in Common where halle Berry's story compared

1062
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,919
Speaker 1: to all of like the white couples, is so depressing,

1063
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: like she doesn't get to go anywhere, she doesn't get

1064
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: to do anything. She has to just like listen to

1065
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro'll be like, I've made so many vague mistakes.

1066
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: And then well, that's the thing. I wouldn't classify her

1067
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: storyline as being about her. She isn't in another supporting

1068
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: role supporting a white character, and then they do try

1069
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: to characterize her a little bit more, right, but that

1070
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: scene is like a minute, maybe it's an after I

1071
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: think it's like fully an afterthought, totally an afterthought. And

1072
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: the thing that they do to like try to characterize

1073
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: her further is just like introduce her in the context

1074
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: of like the romantic hetero relationship that she's in. So

1075
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, this isn't interesting or I mean, it

1076
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 1: could be interesting, but like nothing about it had been

1077
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: set up or really developed, and it just feels like

1078
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: very random and tacked on. Like I think what's what

1079
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: is more interesting about halle Berry's character is that she

1080
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: is like does not care about medical misconduct. That's pretty interesting.

1081
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: She's like kill Robert de Niro, cef I care, Like

1082
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: that's a better movie, that's a better plot. Like but yeah,

1083
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: it's like even they give her a partner at the

1084
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: last second for no ostensible reason. But even so, it's

1085
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: like you just see like a white couple mashing their

1086
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: face together in Times Square, white couple mashing their face

1087
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: together in Times Square, and then halle Berry has to

1088
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: hang out with Robert de Niro calling himself an asshole

1089
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: for two hours and then at the end they're like

1090
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: and halle Berry has a husband who's serving overseas and

1091
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: she's sad and you're like, fuck you, Like come on.

1092
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: They also make her like get changed in like a

1093
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: fucking broom closet, and then she has to like to

1094
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: zoom to zoom in another room in the hospital, like

1095
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: why doesn't she go home, like when we see where

1096
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: she lives. Like so it's it's like just everything you

1097
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: think it would be in terms of how this movie

1098
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: writes and treats their non white characters. It's aggressively says

1099
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: head or oh yeah. There's also with the two characters

1100
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: who are like in the Employe of Katherine Heigel, we

1101
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: have Sophia Regara who plays a character that she often plays,

1102
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: which is a non native speaker of English. Therefore she

1103
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: gets some like words and phrases wrong, and that's always

1104
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: played as a joke. I mean, that's like the story

1105
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: of modern family, isn't it. I don't know, that is

1106
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: very In fact, I was like she just playing that

1107
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: same character because it's the exact same thing. A lot

1108
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: of jokes are made at the expense of her not

1109
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: having the most fluent grasp of ish kind of thing.

1110
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: And she's also like oversexualized in a way that she

1111
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: very often is so well, which happens very frequently, Like

1112
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's really frustrating, Like she a lot

1113
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: is made of her body, which is the same deal

1114
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: and modern family, and she's just very like dit see

1115
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: and oversexualized in a way that isn't just sexist. Is

1116
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: also like I mean, we've talked about this in past

1117
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: episodes before our our conversation in a Laddin kind of

1118
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: comes to mind of how black and brown women are

1119
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: so often oversexualized because tropes, and that is like kind

1120
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: of no exception in in this movie for Sophia Vergara. Yes,

1121
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: and then the other character who works for Katherine Hugel

1122
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: is Russell Peters is character, and he is made to

1123
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: do an accent which he does not have in real life. Nope,

1124
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 1: he is Canadian, He's Canadian. He has a Canadian accent. Um.

1125
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: This is something that a lot of South Asian actors

1126
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: in particular have to deal with Asian actors in general,

1127
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: where they are made to do an accent that they

1128
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: do not actually have. Usually for like comedic effect, and

1129
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: it's almost always racist. We just we we had our

1130
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: conversation about this on the Matren recently with the character

1131
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember the name of the character heal from

1132
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:33,560
Speaker 1: Princess Christmas Prince too, and this has been written about extensively.

1133
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: It's like a I don't know how much that conversation

1134
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: was being had in a public way in late eleven,

1135
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: but at this point, I mean, it's so so so

1136
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: agreed to us and absolutely not on the actor at all,

1137
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:52,480
Speaker 1: because so many parts are written to these very racist stereotypes,

1138
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: and then the actor only gets so many offers for

1139
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: so many types of parts. Like it's just such an

1140
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: infuriateing cycle. Yes, Kalpen had a really insightful and frustrating

1141
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: Twitter threat about that that we will link in the

1142
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: description about the types of characters that he's been sent.

1143
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: And this seems like this character, Wait, what is Russell

1144
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Peter's character even called in this movie, Sue neil Um,

1145
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 1: This character seems very in the South Asian stereotypes that

1146
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,560
Speaker 1: like actors of South Asian descent who do not have

1147
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: accedence are constantly asked to play. Yeah. I would also

1148
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: recommend the documentary The problem with a Pooh. The hot

1149
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: comedian Hari Condobolu made which dives into this quite a bit.

1150
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: So it's on HBO Max for anyone who wants to

1151
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: watch it. Very insightful. Um. Yeah, So in general, like

1152
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: we can just basically sum up this movie as being

1153
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: like obscenely white. The only main storylines are given to

1154
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: white people. The only people of color are there to

1155
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: support the white characters who have more significant narrative arcs.

1156
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: Just like a very a lot of negative stereotypes right

1157
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: play with Um. I feel like Sophia Rigara and Russell

1158
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Peters in particular, although it doesn't help that Officer Luda

1159
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: is with the ny p D, I don't love that.

1160
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: I also the shot I truly shocking at the end

1161
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: where New York cops are just making out with random people.

1162
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: I hated to see it. Well, let's talk about the

1163
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: sexual misconduct that takes place with any storylines. So there

1164
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:48,719
Speaker 1: are many examples across many different storylines of characters harassing

1165
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: other characters. Or for example, Zac Efron, the moment he

1166
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: is introduced on screen street harasses like six different women. Yeah,

1167
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: within the first ten seconds of seeing his character Russell

1168
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: Peters to Sofia Regara, which plays into the over sexualization

1169
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: of her character. Um, he's like taking photos of her.

1170
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: She's kind of very excitedly jumping up and down, and

1171
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: he says, keep jumping. You're very sexy. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy.

1172
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: Katherine Heigel also later sexualizes her again. Katherine Heigel is

1173
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,480
Speaker 1: Sophia regards boss in this movie, so like to her subordinate.

1174
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: She's like commenting on the size of her breasts in

1175
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: a really inappropriate way. Russell Peters also proceeds to make

1176
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: several inappropriate comments to various women throughout the movie about

1177
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: like who they're going to kiss at midnight and other

1178
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: sexually suggestive things. We already talked about the whatever choice

1179
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: if I don't if this was in the script, or

1180
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: if this is something Gary Marshall decided should happen, or

1181
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: what exactly, But a choice was made for Abigail Breslin,

1182
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 1: who was a teenager she's fifteen child for her to

1183
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: lift up her shirt and flash her bra in a

1184
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: crowded public space for some reason. That's in the movie

1185
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: not just gross but also nonsense, as absolutely nonsense. Um,

1186
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:16,759
Speaker 1: Jim Belushi is like, hey, Ashton Kutcher, you totally fucked

1187
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Lea Michelle and the elevator right right, right right, Like

1188
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: that scene goes on for so long of Jim Belushi

1189
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: being like, you had sex with that hot lady wink

1190
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: wink right and you're like please, and it's like, is

1191
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: this I'm sorry screenwriter, Catherine, what's her day? Few game,

1192
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: few games? Something? Is this your idea of comedy? Which

1193
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: goes to show that even women can be terrible sexist screenwriters.

1194
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: She also wrote Valentine's Days, so the End of Yours

1195
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,759
Speaker 1: Eve is the last like major movie that she has written,

1196
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: so you know, yipe swell, good riddance. And then there's

1197
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: also and we touched on some of these already, but

1198
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: there's also a number of surprise kisses where Ashton there's

1199
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:14,759
Speaker 1: constantly They're constantly happening, Uh, Ashton Kutcher, surprise kisses Leah, Michelle,

1200
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: zach Efron's surprise kisses Michelle Pfeiffer. There's the several surprise

1201
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: kisses in the Abigail Breslin storyline. There's extras, surprise kissing,

1202
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 1: other extras. It's just constantly happening. It's so and it

1203
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: is also in addition, to this movie being horrendously racist.

1204
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: It is also the most hetero movie I've ever seen,

1205
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:40,679
Speaker 1: just frustrating because they have I mean, it's like there,

1206
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm like why. It's like, you have,

1207
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 1: first of all, two queer icons in this movie, and

1208
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: it's like, come on, Sarah Paulson, why do I have

1209
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: to like anyways? But who's the other one, Cherry Jones?

1210
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh wait, who's Jerry I don't know who Jerry Jones is.

1211
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Sherry Jones is the owner of the record label, and

1212
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,560
Speaker 1: she and Sarah Paulson used to date, but by the

1213
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 1: movie time this movie is shot, they're not dating. So

1214
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 1: you're like famining drama. They're not. They don't appear in

1215
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: a scene together, much like Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew

1216
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: Broderick even though they are married. I don't know, shrug um,

1217
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, there are there are several Several of the

1218
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: stories revolve around a romance of some kind between Katherine

1219
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 1: Heigel and bon Jovi, Ashton Kutcher and Liam Michelle, Abigail

1220
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: Breslin and her crush Seth, Sarah Jessica Parker and Josh Jumal.

1221
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:41,719
Speaker 1: They're all only Hilary Swank, who doesn't have a romantic storyline. Yeah,

1222
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of, it's like Hilary Swank and then Ludacris is

1223
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: already married. Yeah, you find out Halle Berry has been

1224
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: married the whole time at the end, common the two

1225
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: pregnant women in hetero relationships. As everyone is, this is

1226
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 1: a New York City where only straight people live and

1227
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 1: mostly white people live, and we all love cops and

1228
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: we need to have a baby yesterday. Like it's messy. Um. Yeah,

1229
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 1: I think that they're we we've sort of touched on this,

1230
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 1: but I think that there's definitely some ages them at

1231
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: play with how Michelle Peiffer's characters treated. I didn't like that.

1232
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm all for like, you know, like I I always

1233
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: think it's like a cool representation when there's an age

1234
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: relationship and the woman is the older party that I

1235
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of them. But this is not

1236
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: the storyline that you're like, cool there it is, Uh,

1237
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: that's not this is not it because these two characters

1238
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: make no sense together. It doesn't like the huh what

1239
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: are they going to do? Like it doesn't make any sense.

1240
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 1: But I guess they're in love and so that's amazing

1241
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: Seth Meyers as a horse doctor. Um what else? What

1242
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: else is going on here? Yeah? It is kind of

1243
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: like it is. It was jarring to go down the

1244
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: list of main actors and and realize how many have

1245
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: been canceled rightfully so since since this movie was released. Um. Oh.

1246
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: And then there's just like the good old fashioned sexism

1247
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 1: in the movie. There's, for example, um, when Sophia Frigara

1248
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: tells John bond Jensen, Uh, that's what women like. We

1249
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 1: like to talk. Um some some classic, some classics out there.

1250
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: There's John bon Jensen's being baffled that Katherine Heigel wouldn't

1251
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: just give up her career to go on the road

1252
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 1: with him, and he's like, why won't you do? What's

1253
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: the big deal? Like women's careers are less valuable? Yea,

1254
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: at the very least she challenged. I was like, wow,

1255
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 1: I'm surprised this movie even had her challenge that, because

1256
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: she says something akin to like, I have my own life,

1257
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: I have my own career. I'm not going to drop

1258
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 1: it for you again. I'm going to focus on my

1259
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: own stuff and I love my career. And then because

1260
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: of that, he decides to cancel his tour, so I'm like, okay,

1261
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:10,560
Speaker 1: I didn't expect for any of that to happen. That's like,

1262
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: which leads to one of the worst setups of the

1263
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: entire movie. Oh God, like where they're kissing, they're kiss

1264
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: kiss kissing in Times Square. Well, apparently John bon Jensen

1265
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:27,759
Speaker 1: is supposed to be performing at midnight in Times Square

1266
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: and then she can Higgels like, wait, if you're not performing,

1267
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,799
Speaker 1: then who is? And he's like, oh yeah, I forgot

1268
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: to perform at midnight in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

1269
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: And then Lea Michelle asked to come in and do

1270
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: do her a little thing Stan Lea Michelle so annoying.

1271
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: There's another really troubling thing about the Katherine Heigel Jensen

1272
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: bon Jovi storyline to me, and it is that you

1273
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: find out towards the end bon Jovie basically demanded that

1274
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: she get hired to cater this party. Yeah, which first

1275
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: of all, talk about like giving a woman imposter syndrome

1276
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: because she's she thought she got hired based on her

1277
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: merit and instead she got hired because bon Jovi threatened

1278
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: to not do the performance unless she catered the after party.

1279
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 1: That's so fucked up. He tries to save it by

1280
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: being like, I know you would have had a lot

1281
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 1: of offers, but I just you're like. And then the

1282
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 1: other very troubling thing about this is that she was

1283
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 1: actively trying to avoid him after he betrayed her, Yes,

1284
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:42,600
Speaker 1: and he puts her in a situation where she is

1285
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: forced to be near him and come in contact with him,

1286
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: which is not dissimilar from stalking. And I totally agree

1287
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: he's treated as so cute for doing all of this too,

1288
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: like we're supposed we as an audiensor trained to be like,

1289
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: oh my god. I love how he keeps showing up.

1290
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: I love how he keeps, you know, like putting her

1291
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: like finances to revolve around this person that she doesn't

1292
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: want to be around for a very good reason. Uh.

1293
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: The and then that scene we're sitting on the hood

1294
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: of the car and he talks to Hillary Swank and

1295
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I'm so he's acting like he's twenty

1296
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: years old. He's girl, boy, screws it up. It's like, sir,

1297
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: you are fifty years old. You need to grow up,

1298
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: like and then Hillary Swank says you rock yeah, And

1299
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: then you got oh but yeah, sure, yeah, like you said,

1300
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: audiences have been trained to think that what he did

1301
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: was romantic and not very troubling. And that's also how

1302
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: Catherine Heigel reacts. She's like, Wow, you did that for me.

1303
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: You stalked me and gave me imposter syndrome. That's so romantic.

1304
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: I can't believe a famous guy made time should harass

1305
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 1: me all year, And that's exactly what he does. He

1306
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: basically just wears her down throughout the whole movie. Yeah,

1307
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: he keeps just walking into a kitchen. It made me

1308
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: really stress out. I was like, put on a mask,

1309
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 1: put on some gloves, like what are you doing? Get

1310
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: away from the food. You're dirty. Um. As much as

1311
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: I detest Ashton Kutcher, Leah Michelle, that whole thing that

1312
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of sexism at played there is well,

1313
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: he is like Mr. Nagging over and over like he

1314
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: for a groupie, and then only to reveal that he

1315
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: like is like a freelance like graphic designer who sucks

1316
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: at drawing that fucking thing they laser jetted off and

1317
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: Kucher is like, look at my art. You're like yeah, yeah, right,

1318
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: and then she says it's bad. But his whole thing

1319
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: is like he is just nagging her and then she

1320
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: starts to fall in love with him. I don't, It's

1321
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: just like garbage nonsense. They're like, we only have seven

1322
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:58,600
Speaker 1: minutes to do this entire arc, and it's just and

1323
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: like two minutes of it are bent nagging Leah Michelle's character. Um,

1324
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean she negs him back. So I guess there's

1325
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: that also not how not a good basis for a relationship.

1326
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: I didn't know for that that like the Boushemy test,

1327
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: if you apply the Bush test to that, that relationship

1328
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 1: in particular of just like if Steve bouch if you're

1329
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: sitting in an elevator with Steve Bushey being like, what

1330
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 1: are you some kind of groupie? Oh so do you

1331
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 1: want to kiss me? Or what? Like? It just does

1332
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: not It does not play, It does not work, and

1333
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: it's bad. Um, how about how about this? Abigail Breslin

1334
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: says to her mom, Sarah Jessica Parker, quote, you're clingy

1335
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: and mean, and it's because you don't have a man

1336
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: in your life. And then Sarah Jessica Parker, rather than

1337
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: responding meaningfully to this or challenging this at all, she

1338
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: nods in agree meant She's like, it is that she

1339
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: got me. That's why I'm trying to prevent you from

1340
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: going to Times Square of really dangerous area on a

1341
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: really dangerous day as a minor, because I need to

1342
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: date Josh d mel really bad. Um. Also, we didn't

1343
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:24,440
Speaker 1: mention this. Her brother, Sarah Jessica Parker's brother is Zach Efron.

1344
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: That does that ever become relevant? No? It does not.

1345
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 1: Do they ever even appear in the same shot. I

1346
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: don't think that they do. Know they talk on the phone,

1347
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: They've never met. And Okay, I know that age gaps

1348
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:42,919
Speaker 1: between siblings is a thing. I know that it happens.

1349
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: I didn't even thought about that. Sarah Jessica Parker is

1350
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: twenty two years older than Zac Efron. It's not impossible

1351
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: that they would be siblings. Maybe they're steps of I

1352
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 1: did find it to be sort of a weird choice though.

1353
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Maybe there're steps of I don't know, could be half siblings.

1354
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they didn't even know who was going to

1355
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: end up, Like it's so much of this movie must

1356
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: have come together in in editing, Like who God, I

1357
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: didn't even think of that. Also, what a meaningless thing

1358
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: to do like that never comes back because he's like,

1359
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: He's like, well, maybe like if my niece calls me

1360
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: and says like her cool uncle, like, but then that

1361
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: never happens, so well he does. I think what happened

1362
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 1: there is that Abigail Breslin did call him off screen

1363
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 1: and for some reason told him where she would be,

1364
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: and that then he relays that information to Sarah Jessica Parker.

1365
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: But like she could have just like she found out

1366
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: another way where her daughter was, you know, she couldn't.

1367
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: She could have texted Piper's mom, who is another very

1368
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: trophy like woman character of the overbearing Muther. She could

1369
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: have just texted Piper's mom and been like where are

1370
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: our kids, and Pipers along to be like they're right

1371
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: here because I'm stalking them. Also, the just how that

1372
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: um Abigail Breslin and her crushed Seth, how that plays

1373
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: out towards the end like we already went over like

1374
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,640
Speaker 1: the surprise kissiness of it all, but the way that

1375
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 1: they have that, even the way that Seth question talks

1376
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 1: to her is really weird. Where she is mad at

1377
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: him because he got surprise kissed, which is not his fault,

1378
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 1: but this movie says it is his fault, and he says,

1379
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 1: she grabbed me and she totally stole it from me,

1380
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,920
Speaker 1: and then she's like, I don't believe you, and then

1381
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: he surprised kisses her. I just wanted to go through

1382
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: that dialogue because I'm like, the dialogue does somehow make

1383
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:47,679
Speaker 1: a bad situation worse because it's just But the line

1384
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: I did like from him that was so clear, I'm like, oh,

1385
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: I a grown person wrote this, A grown person who

1386
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: has never met a teenager before I wrote this line.

1387
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: Was when Abigail Breslin's like, I'm sorry, Seth, I can't

1388
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: calm to hang out, and he's like, but Haley, half

1389
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: of the history classes going and You're like, yeah, teenagers

1390
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: do be saying that all the time, just like music

1391
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:13,759
Speaker 1: executives are always saying you can't quit it's Grammy season.

1392
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 1: I have another really fun example of a person who

1393
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: hasn't been a teenager in many decades and who has

1394
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,759
Speaker 1: never talked to a teenager since. So toward the beginning

1395
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: of the movie, Abigail Breslin is like with her group

1396
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 1: of like girlfriends and they're like, oh my god, are

1397
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: you going to kiss Seth tonight? Do you even know

1398
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: how to kiss, and then one teenager says they have

1399
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,759
Speaker 1: a video on the internet that shows you how to kiss,

1400
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: and then another teenager chimes in and says they have two,

1401
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 1: one for regular kissing and one for passionate kissing. I'm like,

1402
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,640
Speaker 1: are you trying to talk about YouTube? Are we like

1403
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: doing like a helicopter around the word YouTube and we

1404
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 1: can't get there? You know, the two YouTube videos about

1405
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: how to kiss us about kissing? Giant that down as well.

1406
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: I was like, teenagers, they're always watching those two YouTube

1407
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: videos about kissing. Oh, here's another example of the the

1408
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: writer not knowing anything about comedy writing. Josh Dummel, whose

1409
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 1: character's name is apparently Sam. We guess is that the

1410
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: like the exclusive after party and he gets surrounded by

1411
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 1: a couple of women who are like throwing themselves at him,

1412
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:30,640
Speaker 1: and he almost looks to camera in like giggles, and

1413
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: he says, I'm a Sam witch because his name is

1414
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: Sam and he's sandwitched by a couple of women. And

1415
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 1: that's a joke there, That is what is meant to

1416
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 1: be a joke. The only good comedy in this movie

1417
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: is when they put Michelle Pifer in the Spider Man

1418
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: turn off the dark. Um like acrobat thing. I did

1419
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: laugh when Jessica Bielle says my water broke and Seth

1420
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,560
Speaker 1: Meyer says all of it. I did laugh at that.

1421
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: So that whole scene is just baff like he's like,

1422
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm a horse doctor, your water broke. What's happening? Like?

1423
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: I like the scene where Sophia Rigara and Katherine Heigl

1424
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: throw eggs again, the most feminist scene in the movie.

1425
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: And um, you know, we have to respect the symbolism.

1426
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: It's an allegory. It's a bad scene, but they are

1427
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: throwing eggs for the whole thing. Yeah, Hilary Swang saying

1428
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: you rock. That's exciting. That's great. Well, to jump back

1429
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: to the pregnancy storyline really quickly, a couple of things

1430
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 1: on that when they when they bumped, the when they

1431
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: push their pregnancies against each other. Yes, that's that's that

1432
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: definitely happened. And so basically the women and this is

1433
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: more Jessica beal antagonizing Sarah Paulson. But Sara Paulson seems

1434
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 1: very chill, like, she seems like she's being kind of

1435
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: like bullied by her charm school husband to participate in

1436
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 1: all this because she keeps being like, I don't really care,

1437
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Like I just want to give birth to a healthy child,

1438
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: which like fair. There's that whole scene where her husband,

1439
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Sarah Paulson's husband, she's like, Wow, we're gonna win grand

1440
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: and he's like, no, it's much less than that. That's

1441
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 1: not the amount. You're wrong. You're wrong, you're wrong, And

1442
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 1: we understand that it's because like he doesn't want to

1443
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 1: like reveal to this other pregnant couple that he's nagging

1444
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:28,599
Speaker 1: his nine months pregnant wife. Ever we've seen they appear

1445
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,679
Speaker 1: in to the point where she feels like she needs

1446
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: to apologize to him for her water not breaking when

1447
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: he wanted it to. Yes, and that is awful. Um.

1448
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:44,120
Speaker 1: But basically, because these two husbands are very competitive about

1449
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: winning this money, which they don't seem to need because

1450
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 1: they seem to be doing fine financially, there's always going

1451
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: to be sick horses, that's right, um, But they're kind

1452
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: the competitive rubs off on to their wives, and then

1453
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 1: the women get pitted against each other in this pregnancy storyline.

1454
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 1: And one thing that I was like, okay, again, here's

1455
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: the movie doing the bare minimum. The two women do

1456
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 1: apologize to each other towards the end, but it just

1457
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,680
Speaker 1: it was such a flimsy story to begin with that

1458
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: I I just hated like seeing the women pitted against

1459
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 1: each other and then like having to apologize for it

1460
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: because their husbands are like being just toxic and overly

1461
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 1: competitive and like almost having like a dick measuring contest

1462
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 1: about whose wife can go and labor first kind of thing. Yeah,

1463
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 1: it just fucking sun like. And then at the end

1464
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: where like Seth Meyers and Jessica Biel are like, oh,

1465
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 1: wait a second, we're rich, we don't need dollars. I

1466
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 1: guess we'll just give it to Sarah Paulson and the

1467
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 1: charms School guy because they already have children, which was

1468
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 1: another thing that they reveal that You're like, oh, I

1469
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:00,560
Speaker 1: guess that would have It would have and helpful to

1470
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 1: know that earlier. Would it would have made the thing

1471
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,360
Speaker 1: with the money make more. I don't I don't know,

1472
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you own a charm school? Is the

1473
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 1: charm school failing? Like? What is that? What's happening? I

1474
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. This last movie is so bad.

1475
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:19,639
Speaker 1: It's so corrible. There's another really poorly done joke where

1476
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:25,960
Speaker 1: the spy kids, mom, doctor, get her name. Um, she

1477
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 1: says to Seth Meyers because Seth Meyers is like trying

1478
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: to negotiate like a split of the winnings with her. Yeah,

1479
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,600
Speaker 1: and she's not having it. And she says, you're dangerously

1480
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: close to a rectal exam and he's like, no, don't

1481
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 1: give me a rectal exam, because what's more humiliating than

1482
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:52,439
Speaker 1: someone doing something to a man's like anus? It's exhaust day.

1483
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 1: I hate this movie so much. It's bad. It makes

1484
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 1: to be said to watch. I hate how carefully I

1485
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: had to pay attention to it in order to know

1486
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 1: what was happening. I don't know. I mean, maybe it

1487
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: was worth it to see Michelle Phifer flowing around a stage.

1488
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't. Who am I to say? It's definitely

1489
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: one of the worst movies I've ever seen that it's

1490
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 1: just so expensive it maybe want to watch um. Every

1491
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:29,560
Speaker 1: time Sherlock Holmes Um Trunk of Shadows popped up, I'm like,

1492
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:31,680
Speaker 1: I would rather be watching this. And I know that

1493
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 1: movie is bad. I've seen it. It's simply a disaster.

1494
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,680
Speaker 1: It's so here. I made a short list of the

1495
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 1: people whose talents were wasted in this movie because I

1496
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 1: think some of the casting was like, yeah, I don't

1497
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: really respect you as an actor, and I think you

1498
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 1: were well cast for this movie. But there are some

1499
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: people who are, like you just feel so bad that

1500
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: they're in this movie. For me, alle Berry is at

1501
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 1: the top of the list, Sarah Paulson, Hilary Swink, Hector

1502
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 1: Elizondo and I'll throw Zac Efron in there, I don't care,

1503
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: and Michelle Piper and I guess I mean Robert de Niro.

1504
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 1: Robert DeNiro. He's in a lot of shitty movies, but

1505
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 1: he's a talented actor. You do get the feeling that

1506
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: Gary Marshall bullied him into doing this, like someone owed

1507
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 1: someone a favor there maybe, like I don't know, because

1508
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 1: Gary Marshall, like he directed Princess Diaries, which is probably

1509
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: why actor Alixanda is there. He directed Pretty Woman, he

1510
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 1: directed Beaches, he directed Runaway Bride, like, he directed a

1511
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:42,680
Speaker 1: lot of you know, iconic rom coms and then just

1512
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 1: like started making really bad rom coms. But r I P. Gary,

1513
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 1: Um we yeah you started strong and then there was

1514
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 1: a few weird ones at the end, but uh, yeah,

1515
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:01,719
Speaker 1: what the fund is going on? Apparently. Jessica Biale, Aston Kutcher,

1516
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,840
Speaker 1: and Hector Alexando are also in Valentine's Day, a movie

1517
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,720
Speaker 1: I have seen but remember zero percent of the Only

1518
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 1: thing I remember about Valentine's Day is that Taylor Swift

1519
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 1: kisses Taylor a loatner because Taylor a lot nor only

1520
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:18,639
Speaker 1: day it's other people Taylor. I love that for him.

1521
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 1: I think that I've gotten. I mean, I feel like

1522
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:24,280
Speaker 1: we're leaving out or like just forgetting so much, but

1523
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 1: there's only we. I mean, it's so difficult to process

1524
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:32,679
Speaker 1: everything that happens in this movie, so truly is Yeah,

1525
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 1: I I guess I just wanted to touch one more time,

1526
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: particularly on because Sophia Regara has been the center of

1527
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:44,760
Speaker 1: a large discussion about the over sexualization of latin X

1528
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 1: women in particular for so long. There's a lot of

1529
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 1: different opinions on it. We are obviously not the two

1530
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,680
Speaker 1: people to make any sort of judgment call on it,

1531
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: and it's something that I want to talk about with

1532
01:33:56,760 --> 01:34:01,280
Speaker 1: latin X guests in the near future view. UM, but

1533
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to shout out a couple of articles

1534
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 1: and UM we can link this in the description as well. UM.

1535
01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 1: For some of them. I wouldn't even say it's like

1536
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: necessarily criticism, just several Latin X writers that have written

1537
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: about her career and the sorts of parts that she's

1538
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 1: played in the past. So the first one is from

1539
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: this year from in Pop Sugar by Jennifer Paula Varella Rodriguez.

1540
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 1: It's called say what you Want, but Sophia Vergara has

1541
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 1: broken barriers for Latin X people on primetime TV and beyond.

1542
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: Then there's also interviews with Sofia Vergara on this topic.

1543
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: One is in Vanity Fair back in seventeen with Johanna Desta.

1544
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: The headline is, and I would recommend reading the whole

1545
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 1: thing Sofia regarda to critics, what's wrong with being a stereotype.

1546
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: So it's a very large discussion that we'll be having

1547
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 1: with guests, but I just wanted to sort of shout

1548
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: out that there's a certain the notes of that in

1549
01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:05,760
Speaker 1: the part she's playing in this movie. Yes, yeah, I

1550
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: will have to check those articles out. Thank you for

1551
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: doing that research, Jamie and um. I look forward to

1552
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: having this discussion and greater detail and more depths in

1553
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: coming episodes. We're hinting at an upcoming episode. But it's

1554
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 1: a surprise, it's a secret, but it does pass the

1555
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: Battel test. It does past effectively, it does does it, oopsie,

1556
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:42,479
Speaker 1: it does. Between a few different um Sarah, Jessica Parker

1557
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 1: and Abigail Breslin, we mentioned that scene that passes where

1558
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: Abigail Breslin exposes her bra, but the context of most

1559
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 1: of their conversations is, Mom, why can't I hang out

1560
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:59,719
Speaker 1: with the boy that I like? Similar to the exchanges

1561
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 1: betwe between Katherine Heigel and Sofia Regara, where they have

1562
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:06,720
Speaker 1: a few exchanges that are just like two line back

1563
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 1: and forth the technically passed, but like the context of

1564
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 1: most of their conversations are about Jensen. Jessica Biale and

1565
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Sarah Paulson talk about their pregnancy competition. But they're Greg's,

1566
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 1: They're they're little Gregg's and but then also like their

1567
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 1: husbands are always like right there. So none of these passes.

1568
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'd almost be mad if there was

1569
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 1: like a really like good exchange of dialogue that does

1570
01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:37,400
Speaker 1: pass the Bechdel tests in an otherwise terrible, terrible movie,

1571
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,800
Speaker 1: because it feels like it wouldn't. This movie, this movie

1572
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve. It mostly passes by accident, by accidents, by

1573
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 1: sure coincidence or mistakes, so spiritually it doesn't pass. Spiritually

1574
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't pass. I'm getting this movie no nipples. I'm

1575
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 1: giving this like nothing, nothing for this movie. Yeah, the

1576
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:02,920
Speaker 1: few again, the few, like bare minimum moments where I'm like, okay,

1577
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:06,560
Speaker 1: at least Katherine Heigel stands up for herself and it

1578
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go on tour because she has her

1579
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 1: own career, or like when the regnant women apologize to

1580
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: each other again, like it's canceled out by every other

1581
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 1: obscene thing that happens in the movie. So zero nipples,

1582
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 1: zero nipples, which is also what I give. The year

1583
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 1: gets zero nipples, zero nipples. I think that we actually

1584
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: kind of jinx stuff last year, because do you remember

1585
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 1: when someone sent us a clip of us being like,

1586
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 1: twenty two might be really fine. So I'm just gonna

1587
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: go in neutro. I'm gonna I find it best to

1588
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 1: have very low expectations because even if something not terrible happens,

1589
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: they exceed your very low expectations. So I'm going to

1590
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 1: go on record as saying will be the worst year

1591
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 1: in recorded history. I'm gonna have no take because thank you,

1592
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 1: it gives me stream anxiety. Um. Well that well, there's

1593
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 1: another year and that's New Year's Eve. So this New

1594
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, please stay inside and don't want this movie.

1595
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 1: Here's the best way to ring. Please don't watch this movie. Yes,

1596
01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:31,800
Speaker 1: So we'll be back next year with lots of fun episodes,

1597
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: lots of surprises. Maybe we'll leave our houses this year,

1598
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 1: maybe we won't. Kind of just like a fun rolling

1599
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:42,680
Speaker 1: of the dice. Um, but we'll be back with you.
