I'm excited for this because 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.680 I feel like you play a character I mentioned in 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.240 the intro at Tabitha Booth, who could almost fit in 0:04:55.279 --> 0:05:00.240 this movie somewhere or this world? So when when? It 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.080 only occurred to me when I was watching it, Because 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.039 sometimes as I'm watching I'm thinking, well, they have a 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.680 connection a way into this film, and I feel like, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.520 and without knowing too much about whether you like the 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.560 film or not, I feel like Tabitha may have been 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.880 like she does exist in this world. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.520 Yeah, she exists as someone who is about to ruin 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.320 the plan. She exists is someone who is about to 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.000 walk in and goes, what don't we do in here, fellers? 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:27.480 What's going on here? 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:28.359 Are we doing a sting? 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:30.480 Yeah? 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.440 She is someone who is about to send everyone to 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.320 prison by just getting too excited to be a part 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.400 of it. That's her vibe. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:40.720 How do we come? 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:40.880 So? 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:45.160 I generally I will send the list to my guests 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.719 with a whole bunch of films on them. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:52.240 There's so many. I was so excited, Oh that's excellent, 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:53.839 so many films on that. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.280 And you came back with great, you have. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.599 There's one film that I was wrestling with, which is Magnolia, 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.880 which I love. Of listeners of this podcast know how 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.080 much I love Paul Thomas Anderson. We kind of I 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.440 covered it, not necessarily for this podcast directly, but with 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.240 doing film podcasts with Beck and Jade, and it felt 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.360 like we'd covered it almost as a sister show, sister 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.040 brother show. We'd covered it, so I was very closer 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.040 still doing it because I love it so much and 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.520 you should really watch Magnolia. Yeah, but this was this 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.680 was one. Did you did you kind of check out 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.960 the time period? Did you check out the running time? 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.000 How did you like? So you know about this film? 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:30.880 What did you know about it? 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:31.080 No? 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.200 I didn't know about it. I googled it and saw 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.320 that it had Robert Redford and Paul Newman in it, 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.839 and I went, yes, yes, this one. Please. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.720 Have you've seen Pocashid in the Sundant Skin of All? Yeah? 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.599 Yeah, so this is like almost it's a brother film 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.240 to that companion piece. It's not a sequel, but it's 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.839 certainly the filmmakers wanting to pair these two together again. 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.039 Yeah, it felt like there was that period of time 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.800 where Owen Wilson and Ben Stella were doing every movie together, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.560 and it feels like they were trying to like do 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.880 the same thing of being like, these two have such 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.480 good chemistry and every movie they should be in together. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.719 And I think they made the right call. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.360 Let's talk about how impossibly good looking these men are. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.080 Dear God. So I watched Butchcasidy in The Sundance Kid 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.920 because my partner is like loves movies, like studied them, 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.880 like has real uni brain about movies. And I was 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.680 really like, I'm like, I don't know if I want 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.480 to watch like an old movie. And then we watched 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.120 Butch Castidy and The Sundance Kid and I was weeping 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.560 by the end, and I was just like, I'm weeping. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.800 But they're so beautiful. And he told me an anecdote 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.200 that I haven't fact checked this, but apparently Robert Redford, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.560 who is the most beautiful man in the entire world, 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.120 he was doing a scene and it was about like 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.360 rejection and he wasn't quite getting it, and they were 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:44.960 like the director came up and was like, all right, Rob, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.840 it's about like you know, like you're you're feeling rejected, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.520 but you understand. And he's like, yeah, I kind of 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.720 don't get it. And the director said okay, So like Robert, 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.480 like you like, have you ever been turned down by 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.400 a woman? And Robert Redford said what do you mean? 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.239 He just couldn't comprehend it, and I'm like yeah, because 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:06.360 he's so beautiful. Most of me watching this movie was 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.400 just me going, oh my god. 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.720 Well, he wanted to play Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.400 and he went to Mike Nichols and said, yeah, I 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.360 want I want to I want to do this role. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.080 And Mike Nichols was like, you can't. This is a 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.960 guy who is he can't, like he's nervous around women 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:22.720 and he can't. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.679 You know, we don't even know he's possibly a virgin. 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.360 Like you can't do that. Look in the mirror, Robert, 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:28.960 and he's like, okay, yeah, I kind of get it. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:30.920 There was just this scene where he was just sitting 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.200 in a chair and I paused it and I took 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.720 a photo and I sent it to my partner. It's 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.560 just him sitting in a chair. That he's just like 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.920 kind of slouched with like his arms back, and I 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.360 was like, anyone else tried to sit in a chair 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.679 like that? Then called cart what are you doing? Sit 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:46.320 up normal? 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.960 I'm going to try to sit in the chair. We'll 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.880 do a comparison. I'll put it on on my socials. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:53.960 We'll see maybe I can put a laugh. I don't know, 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:54.640 I don't know. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.360 You were absolutely right. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.160 After I watched Posa Cassidy, which I watched for the 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.160 first time for his podcast that with Bob Murphy x 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.520 AFL footballer and dilettante. He the next morning, I was 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.120 saying to my wife, you don't understand how good looking 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.679 these men are. And I'm googling imaging. Look look look 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.880 at their eyes. Even last night I was watching this 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.480 thing and with my wife for a bit and I 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.360 was like, look at blue Newman's eyes are. They're impossibly blue. 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.360 And she's like, they're not that blue, Like human's got 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.560 blue eyes. I said, but not early, but later, and 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.080 I was getting frustrated. It was like, I'm not sure 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.959 it's deliberate. The filmmaker's almost like got his eyes darkened 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.640 and you can't quite see his eyes. And then eventually 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.920 you have these shots. I think when they're like they've 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.760 got that makeup casino that they made up. Yeah, that's 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.880 when you really see how blue those eyes aren't. 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.880 Where when he pops, when he has his like his 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.520 glam up. I think that Paul Newman has blue eyes 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.160 like a husky. Like you know how huskies have those 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.240 like kind of hauntingly blue eyes where you're like, those 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.400 are the eyes of a person, husky, What have you done? 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.480 You're a man trapped in that body of a husky. 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:58.640 That's Paul Newman's eyes. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.320 Beautiful, they extraordinary. Will talk more about Paul Newman and 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.040 Robert Redford without a single doubt. Let's talk about your 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.360 three favorite films. I film that has come up a 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.160 couple of times now, and I'm embarrassed and I have 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.800 not seen it, particularly after I saw Bo Burnham's special 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:15.120 that he. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:16.360 Did during Lockdown. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.800 But eighth grade, I have not seen it, but it's 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.840 come up enough times on this podcast in people's favorites. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:22.920 Tell us about eighth grade. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.280 Oh my god, there was a brief period of time 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.600 I did in my entire life, I've done a semester 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:33.760 of university and I basically the only real UNI assignment 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.040 that I did was like an oral presentation, and so 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.600 I deep dived into this movie and I love it 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.240 so much. It felt exactly like like you're watching it 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.760 and it feels like a visceral experience of I was like, oh, damn, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.240 this is exactly what it feels like to be in 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.120 high school when you're not a teenager yet but you're 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.160 not a kid and you're in that weird in between 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.480 stage and like just all those changes are happening and 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.960 you just feel so social, like you're just so self 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.080 conscious all the time, and he does it so perfectly. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.120 It is upsetting. Like when I was talking about it 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.360 at UNI, like a lot of especially dudes, were like, ah, 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.400 because there's like one particular scene where she's in a 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.440 car and like feeling a bit pressured to like have sex, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.440 but like it ends up working out. But they were like, ah, 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:20.880 that felt a bit like they didn't need to have 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.120 that in there. It's a bit far fetched. And I 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.559 was like, are you kidding that it hits the nail 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.440 on the head of that thing of like it's like 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.760 nothing happened, but you still feel horrible, And it was 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:35.760 just Bob Burnham started developing this film because he was 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.440 having panic attacks on stage. She had really bad anxiety. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.800 And then he had a lot of teenagers coming to 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.599 his shows and he was talking to them afterwards and 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.720 he was like, why are teenagers identifying with me talking 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.200 about having really bad anxiety? And then he was looking 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.880 at social media and he was just like, oh, you're 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.800 you always are in front of an audience. You always 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.520 have to be on And then it just kind of 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.560 delved into him talking about like finding out I have 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.520 anxiety because I'm in front of thousands of people. These 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.400 kids have the same feeling of constantly feeling watched and 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.600 like they have to perform because they are in front 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:13.200 of thousands of people. Potentially, it's such a good movie. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.200 It's so fun. The way that they film it too, 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.840 I don't know, it's really heightened in some points and 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.480 then in some points it's like really natural. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.520 Ah, it's yeah. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.400 I'm embarrassed now because I so many people say to me, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.320 you need to watch this film, and I, like, I said, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.480 I really liked bo Burnham's comedy special he put out 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.040 was that called Inside Maybe Oh yeah yeah, and it 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:38.360 was just endlessly creative and funny. But yeah, I'm gonna watch. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.120 It's definitely on the list. Let's talk about Casino. Yeah, 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.439 a Scorsese film that kind of sometimes gets lost not 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.360 with everyone, it's still like much loved and Sharon Stone. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.000 Kind of my memories of it when it came out 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.280 was Sharon Stone kind of kind of reminding people of 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.079 what she can do, like in the aftermath of Basic Instant, 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.640 where she's probably pigeonholed and doing all those kind of thrillers. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.240 Just like, ah, it was. It wasn't quite like Tarantino 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.640 putting Travoltar in pulp fiction, because Sharon Stone was still 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.680 part of the you know, the the industry very much so. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.400 But it was like, ah, she can also do this, 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:13.880 and she's extraordinary. 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:15.520 It's so good. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.360 I love It's gonna say, Uzie, I love it. I 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.199 watched this movie whenever I'm sick. I don't know why. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:27.080 It's the most gruesome, like emotionally just like violent movie, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.440 and I'm like, I have a cold time to watch 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:38.400 my make better movie. It's Casino. I love it. It's so intense. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.319 That acting is foot like, you know, you got DeNiro, 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:46.000 you can't go wrong. You've got Deniara and Joe Joe Pesci. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.680 Joe Pesci is one of the finest, just one of 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.040 those finest actors of all time. 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:52.320 He's so good. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.840 But my introduction to him was Home Alone is a 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:57.560 small child. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:58.760 He's one of the wet bandits. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.560 Yeah, and I was like, what's the web it doing here? 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.440 And I was like, oh, he's scarier, scarier than in Hope, 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.000 But I still love that he still took a lot 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:12.000 of that like mom energy into Home Alone. Yeah, you 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.120 can just see him trying not to swear the entire 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.400 Home Alone movie, but like, it's just it's such a 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.760 good movie, and yeah, Sharon Stone absolutely kills it. It's heartbreaking, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.200 it's complex, and I think it's just one of those 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.840 movies where like I don't know if you get this 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.080 or got this, but like wanting to act more and 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.080 just watching a movie and enjoying it, but at the 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.160 same time being so mad that you're not in that movie. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.480 Have you ever experienced that, but you're just watching, like 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.640 if it's like a theater piece or comedy or like 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.440 a movie and you're like, this is amazing. 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:48.080 I'm so I've had reactions where I'm like, oh, this 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:49.280 inspires me and. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.600 I wish I was. I wish I was, but I'm not. 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.560 I've gotten mad that I wasn't cassed in The Godfather 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:57.480 Part two for instance. 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.440 Okay, you have that reaction. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.760 But the way you have that much healthy reaction. I 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.760 feel inspired by this. I'm going to take this creative 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.680 energy and make something. I'm sitting there seating, I'm watching it, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.280 going I call this show? Am I not Joe PEESHI. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.800 There are times when I've seen an idea badly executed 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.280 and I kind of gone, I think could have done 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.680 a better job. Yeah, if I had a similar idea 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.080 or in the same ballpark, and I'm like, ah, that 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.000 might ruin my chances of doing this because it's like, 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.520 you know, and that might be more locally where it's 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.920 maybe realistic, or on a much bigger scale where it's like, well, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.080 I'm not competing, you know, like I'm not having meetings 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.320 at Universal or Warner Brothers in the States. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:45.120 Yes, but it's also like this was a movie that 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:46.920 was made like I think I might have been too, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.360 and I'm still sitting here as like a thirty year 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.400 old watching it, going they should have cast me, and 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.440 I'm not. I'm not then Neero good like who am 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.800 I to think like I would get there. I mean 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.480 I can do. They're like, but that's it, that's it. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.520 But it's so funny. Yeah, I just I just I 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.040 don't know. I just love it. It just makes me 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.640 be like, aren't movies right? 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:07.640 I love it. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.480 It's one of those like transport movies where you're like, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.160 I'm fully immersed. Like if anyone tried to talk to 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.040 me while I was watching Casino, I would get mad, right, 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.960 I'd be like, how dare you take me out of 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.400 my little world of blood and violence? 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:22.080 I haven't. 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:23.800 I haven't seen it for a lot. I mean I 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.000 saw it in the cinema and I've seen it since then. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.520 But because I usually go back to good Fellas, good 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.760 Fellas would be where I go back to until about 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.800 Joe Pesci being absolutely petrifying and hilarious side by side. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.360 It's so uncomfortable to watch become glorious at the same time. 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.480 But yeah, I should go back and watch Casino again. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.120 It again has come up a few times on this podcast. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.360 You know, I'm good Fellas. They're seen in the kitchen. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:47.880 That's mon. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.680 Scorcedes says his mum. Yes, yeah, and they just told 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.000 her improvise. Yeah, they didn't give her lines. They just 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.640 said they're gonna come over and they're gonna wake you 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.280 up in the middle of the night. Okay film and 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.160 straightaway she's just like me feed you, let me make 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.000 the sit down dinner. Come here. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.359 It's so good. It's such a I love that film 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:07.919 so much. Was it Nine Days? 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:08.399 Yeah? 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.639 Should I've seen this one? Tell us about this one. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.920 So this is one of those movies that I think 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.119 it's a really good movie. But I think also just 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.639 because of when I watched it, it was like a 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.840 bit of a switch in my brain moment. I was like, 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.560 I think it was we'd just come out of like 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:27.720 lockdowns and stuff, and I was a little depressobean and 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.560 I just went to the movies by myself and I 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.520 just saw this movie because it kept coming up, and 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.600 I was just like, Yeah, that grain looks really good. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:37.960 I like the way that movie looks. I want to 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.400 go see that movie. It's got a nice score. I'm 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.680 going to take myself there. I'm really sad. And then 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.879 I watched it and it's basically just like a movie 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.119 that makes you realize all the little moments in life 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.640 are just so special and so important. All those little 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.200 mundane things are really beautiful if we take a moment 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:58.640 to appreciate them. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.920 Yeah, and it was clear what I need. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:02.560 Yeah, I was like, I want to go and eat 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.840 an April cut fresh, like I felt like a manic 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.280 Pixie dream girl. After that, I walked out of seeing 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.120 that movie and I was like, it's gonna be okay. Yeah, 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.040 and it was like it was there was like a 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.560 sun shower as I was like walking out and it 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.920 was like and I was like, oh my goodness, life 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:19.639 is beautiful. 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.439 But it is beautiful when you find a movie that 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.280 hits you at the right time and everything, it just 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.280 reminds you that life is beautiful and there is beauty 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.640 around it and it doesn't have to be you said, 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.320 you know, you weren't feeling great and that just was 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.239 a perfect and sometimes just something a film can transport you. 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.240 The one that for me recently was Past Lives. I'm 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:41.240 not sure you're past Live? 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:42.840 Yeah, and it just like it did. 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.440 I wasn't needing that film necessarily as far as anything 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.720 I was dealing with, but it was just like a 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.560 reminder of the journey of life and the friends sometimes 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.680 we leave behind and the you know, the futures and 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.720 sometimes when our history is in our presence kind of 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:05.480 collide and it's the beauty of like relationships don't have 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:10.080 to be discarded, Like you learn something from every relationship 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.679 you have. Yeah, and it's not necessarily something I at 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.880 all wrestle with. I've been married for now, happily married 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.680 for twenty years, but I'm always fascinated with, like, what 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.240 what's the point of relationships once they end? And even 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.040 when I think about more through the eyes of my 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.000 kids now, who you know, have got relationships going on 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.480 and they're going to be dealing with this and you 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.920 know there's a decent chance at some point those relationship 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.400 will end and how do they deal with it? And 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.520 what can I tell them about relationships? And I think 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.280 past lives did that for me a little bit. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.680 Yeah, just whenever they kind of like going through it, 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.520 just sit them down and put the movie on. You're like, 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.679 I don't watch. 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.080 This, that's parently when I want is a movie? A movie? 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.639 It's Korean. It's very hip right now, Yeah, check it out. 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.360 Yeah, I love that when you kind of like walk away. 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.000 But it's so strange as well, because you can have 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.480 a completely different experience and someone else in who's watching 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.760
