34
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.120
Let me, let me, let me give you. Let me

35
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.520
struggle to give you three things you may not know

36
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.719
about this director and a quote. I know you guys

37
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:53.360
probably did some some homework. There's little to nothing. Yeah,

38
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.919
he's available about this. Yeah he's he's he's Australian. Okay,

39
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.599
you this won't take long. Let me let me tell

40
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.680
you what I know. He's Australian, he's openly gay, and

41
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.719
at the age of twenty this is impressive. At the

42
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.479
age of twenty seven, he tied Robert Rodriguez for the

43
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.280
second youngest person to direct a film that opened number

44
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.199
one of the box office.

45
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.400
Yeah, this Rodriguez Well, which I know we'll talk about later, but.

46
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.879
Yeah, Rodriguez twenty seven years old. He does one of

47
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.719
Amber's favorite films, right, Amber from Dust Till Dawn. Oh

48
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.240
heck yeah, yeah, I tolt you look at me, like,

49
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.960
where where's it going. I'm not setting you up like, no.

50
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.960
I thought it was Desperado. You're going to be I

51
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.360
have not been Desperado. But from us, guys, I love.

52
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:44.800
Yeah. You guys want to take a guess, not to

53
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.680
get not to get off the record immediately, but you

54
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.319
want to take a guess a who the youngest filmmaker

55
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:56.680
at twenty five? Well, no, well we're talking well Orson Wells. Yeah,

56
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.159
but I'm talking about a filmmaker that opened a movie.

57
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.759
Oh like crash the box office.

58
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.919
Yeah, he was twenty five years old when he did it.

59
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.120
And we've covered him once or twice in prior seasons.

60
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:17.199
Amazing filmmaker. Talking about John Singleton, a movie he does, right, no, no,

61
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.720
but justice. Yeah, Boys in the Hood probably his his

62
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.920
best film, but that was never going to open number

63
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.680
one just because of the content. Great film, great film.

64
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.959
Back to Luketch. Two projects he's long been attached to direct,

65
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.160
and I don't think they're ever going to happen, but

66
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:46.279
one a film adaptation of the TV series Dallas.

67
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.560
I don't care.

68
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.639
I don't know, but it would be well, I'll say,

69
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.160
i'd never got into why is this such a big deal? Yeah,

70
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.199
I don't understand it.

71
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.160
But I'll tell you what. I'll watch. I'll watch that

72
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.560
one long before I watched the other one. He's been

73
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:04.439
attached back in two thousand. Back in twenty twenty four,

74
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.480
he was slated to direct the biopic All Out of Love,

75
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.279
the Air Supply story.

76
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.720
You know what, until this, I don't know why. I

77
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.040
always thought Air Supply was the Canadian group, and I

78
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:20.800
was like, oh, they're Australian, So.

79
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.959
I don't know. Yeah, how I got that in My

80
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.519
brother's like, oh okay.

81
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.839
I don't see now. And I don't know how Air

82
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.560
Supply got a biopic deal, Like what are we doing

83
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.519
here unless.

84
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.639
Will Ferrell's other groups?

85
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.959
If unless Will Ferrell's doing it with Jimmy you know,

86
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.160
Jimmy Fallon, and it's gonna be like a comedic take.

87
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.360
I don't know, but oh goodness, I'll just I'll tell

88
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.519
you this. MGM signed off on this. When they greenlit

89
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.000
this movie. They they thought they were going to get

90
00:05:54.040 --> 00:06:01.040
something else so interesting. Quote from Robert lukettch on MGM's

91
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:06.519
misunderstanding of the film's progressively feel good message of women's empowerment.

92
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.360
He had this to say, Initially, they thought it was

93
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.879
going to be much more wet T shirts and boobs

94
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.279
than it actually turned out to be. I'm gonna just

95
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.240
go ahead and ask where was Where were any of

96
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.360
the wet t shirts?

97
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.360
There was only one mentioned, but there was, yeah shown? Yeah,

98
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.160
well Universal had initially.

99
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:34.720
There were there were there were, but yeah, yeah. So

100
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.800
I'm not. I'll go on record right now, I am not.

101
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.120
I will never complain about Reese Weatherspoon and a swimsuit.

102
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.639
She's she looks amazing. Uh Now, let's find out on

103
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.720
the on the subject of amazing, let's find out who

104
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.120
has the best five word synopsis. So we're gonna start

105
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.759
with Angelo Angela.

106
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:56.720
All of them.

107
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.879
I'm gonna go, yeah, settle on this one.

108
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.399
You get well, I think I think might have a

109
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.800
good one, you know, I may I may have tipped

110
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.319
my hand already. You may you may be getting the

111
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.360
the inclination that I'm I'm not a fan of this movie,

112
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.720
but I feel like I got a good five word

113
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.120
synopsis for it. But Angela, using exactly five words, tell

114
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.560
us what is legally blonde? All about?

115
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.800
Underestimated blonde triumphs at Harvard?

116
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:26.000
That is very accurate. That is very accurate. Amber. Uh,

117
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.879
you happen to love the five words synopsis? Oh what

118
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:30.879
do you got for us?

119
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.920
She dreams about this I do every day.

120
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.879
You're so good at it. Though you're so good at

121
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:37.680
it torture.

122
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.720
But this one I'm actually kind of excited about because

123
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.000
I cracked myself up and I thought, okay, so it

124
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.480
may not be a very going by. I'm as funny. Uh,

125
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:56.279
witness lies about washing hair? Okay, when she was in

126
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.720
the shower, Yes, she was in the shower.

127
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.199
I think we have established.

128
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.279
Slightly I'm slightly Captain America. Like I understood that reference.

129
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.439
I get it a little bit. I got I got

130
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.759
one for you. Okay, how about this one? Clueless goes

131
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:19.199
to Harvard Law Another don't.

132
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.560
Blonde blonde?

133
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.600
Nola? Just wait, wait, hold on, just hold on, hold on,

134
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.039
just just hold I've got I've got plenty.

135
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.480
You guys have heard of one other movie with a blind.

136
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.679
I've said five words. Wait, hold on, I've got plenty

137
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.080
for you guys to argue about here coming up. All

138
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.000
I'm saying is you've got a you know, a strong

139
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:53.279
female character who's underestimated and you know overcomes, like like

140
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.879
shows that she can can win the day.

141
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.600
I think you need to watch Clueless again.

142
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.000
Yeah I don't.

143
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.879
It's a different Yeah, well.

144
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.799
One, I mean clues for fos sake. Okay, just we're moving.

145
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.679
I like, okay, we're gonna be twenty minutes on five words.

146
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:09.120
You guys are already fighting.

147
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.559
This is why it sucks. We need to come up

148
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.159
with something else.

149
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.159
No, No, we don't. Amber. People love this and it's

150
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.960
never gonna go away. All right, So here, I.

151
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.519
Was super gonna be diplomatic and allol nice of about okay, fine,

152
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.440
all right, so imatically want to think I'm punching, And

153
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.039
I was like, no, I was merely going.

154
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:29.159
To share Amber. Fine, let's go ahead.

155
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:33.840
Amber already showed me the shive off camp. I'm ready.

156
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.840
Well, I wasn't doing this. I was merely offer it.

157
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.360
You're more of a background information, of of trying to context.

158
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.159
But that's all right, let's go to cast and crew.

159
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:43.960
Let's get along talking about Reese and.

160
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.279
Well, hold on, before we get to that, I want

161
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.240
to know that I want to talk about this. So,

162
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.440
with exception of Selma Blair's character, every female in this

163
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.080
film is either portrayed as an airhead or they're just

164
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.159
they're just annoying as hell. And you two ladies are

165
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:06.840
very intelligent, you're determined, you're strong willed, you're hilarious. So

166
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.440
my question before we even get in the movie, tell

167
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.759
me what the appeal is for for you guys, and

168
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.879
maybe that helps me better understand why this film was

169
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.000
and continues to be successful, because let's I'm gonna call

170
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.720
it right now. This is a successful film. It has

171
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:28.120
launched a successful franchise, it's on Broadway, it's there's a

172
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.519
new TV series on Prime. So Amber, let me start

173
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.879
with you. What's what's the appeal?

174
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.320
Well, I question your characterization of all the other females

175
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.799
in the movie because they're not all airheads.

176
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.639
No, no, I didn't say they all. I said they're

177
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.840
they're they're portrayed his airheads, like all her sorority sisters

178
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.600
or they're just annoying. But anyways, that's.

179
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.639
A matter of opinion. Like I don't I don't know

180
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.200
who you think is annoying?

181
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.320
Will be here all night. But no, I just that's

182
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.000
not the question. That's not the question. Is that who is.

183
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.399
Telling me that Holland Taylor is annoying because she's the

184
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:14.039
smartest woman in the room. You're telling me that annoying

185
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:15.919
because she has control of her courtroom?

186
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.840
I said, I said, most let's go.

187
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.799
Even then, you're you're still wrong, You're still Here's the point.

188
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:24.879
The point is.

189
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.120
The point is I have I got it. I'm just

190
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.440
asking you what what's the appeal for you? What? I

191
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.559
want to know why you enjoy it?

192
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:37.399
That's all because it's not it's portrayed as this ditsy

193
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.279
girl decides to go to Harvard and won't that be funny?

194
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.240
And when you get into it and you pay attention,

195
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:49.120
what you find out is she was never done.

196
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.639
No, I mean she expectations.

197
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:57.200
That people set for her. Yeah, and you know she

198
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:04.240
is absolutely ambitious and driven and focused, and so are

199
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:08.840
a lot of the women in this story. And it's

200
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.840
about women, you know, being kind and lifting each other up,

201
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:19.159
and it's about, you know, someone rising above the expectations

202
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:23.039
that people set for her and setting better expectations for herself.

203
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:28.720
Okay, I think I'm jumping ahead here. Reee Weatherspoon's amazing,

204
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:36.559
and I do really like the What's what I was?

205
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.879
I like, I like the goodness of her character.

206
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.480
Yes, she's kind, I'm good.

207
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.480
Yeah, well yeah, very good intention, thank you. And look,

208
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.960
I'm probably gonna have to say some nice things along

209
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.679
the way about the film. I can't avoid it, so

210
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.600
just I just want to warn you I'm gonna have

211
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.120
to show some compliments here in there.

212
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.519
It's amazing anyways.

213
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:08.639
Okay, so Angela stretch, what's the Angela europel like? Tell me?

214
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.000
Tell me, tell me about your your relationship with this movie.

215
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.000
Okay, Well, being a blonde myself, I've heard growing up

216
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.679
every single blonde joke whatever. And of course I always

217
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.200
had a's and b's, I always excel things like that.

218
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:26.080
So I did like, while this is a blonde from California,

219
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.559
a different background, things like that, and because she talked

220
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:32.279
a certain way or you know, people.

221
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.080
Automatically assume she was an airhead.

222
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.559
But even though you know she's got a four point

223
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.919
We learned she knows she's got a four point oh

224
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.559
you know in the fashion major. She is kind and

225
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.399
I did like that feeling of like that sisterhood would. Yes,

226
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.480
her two close friends, Yes, the one she was definitely

227
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.039
more of the stereotypical blonde, uh you know that that

228
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:59.200
airhead aspect. But but they were there for each other

229
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.840
and support and that you know, like in the opening

230
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.919
where they're all signing a card wishing her, you know, luck,

231
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.000
just that that sisterhood. I never really had a lot

232
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.120
of girlfriends. I usually had, you know, mostly guy friends,

233
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.320
So I like that that that appealed to me, Like

234
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.519
what would that be like with that and then using

235
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.840
a relationship that you know, you thought or was hoping

236
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.720
would go one way and it didn't, but along the way,

237
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.480
using that as a way of springboarding into who you

238
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.039
were meant to be, learning more about yourself.

239
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.720
And like you said, you know, am Or made a

240
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:37.080
good point.

241
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.039
You know, there are those expectations that are just kind

242
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.200
of set for her and then not really expected much,

243
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.240
I mean even from her parents, but feeling like there

244
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:49.600
is something bigger than her she just can't quite figure out,

245
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.320
you know what.

246
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:53.120
And this ending of a relationship.

247
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.720
Catile pults her into a very different world, into a

248
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.960
lot of different persons. But just that that finding herself

249
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.120
and and once she taps in and zoned in on

250
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:08.159
that and not focuses on an outside person, she really

251
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:12.360
gets to reach her potential and what she really can do,

252
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.519
you know, in the world, and and and extend that

253
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.200
good so and along the way, you know, a friendship,

254
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.080
you know with paultte like them trying encouraging each other

255
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.679
rather than you know, usually women are routinely like tearing

256
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:24.480
each other down.

257
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.000
That is, the store owners.

258
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.919
There's a lot I'm sorry, the store like.

259
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.080
The like the the annoying store of the store, the

260
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.360
clerks at the store.

261
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.240
Yes, like those are those were bitches, yes though, I mean,

262
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.759
and that's under underestimate you know this. And then knowing

263
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.080
that she knows her stuff and where you know, this

264
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:45.919
person thought she was gonna get a quick one just

265
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:46.840
because you know she's.

266
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.279
A blonde and what.

267
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.840
Yes, she's comes from money and things like that, but

268
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:51.759
she knows her stuff and knows, you know, not to

269
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.399
get so with that. Yes, that's her niche. But she

270
00:15:55.080 --> 00:16:00.120
is very smart about that and knows you know, all

271
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.519
with that so well.

272
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.399
In her development of her relationship with Vivian, because they

273
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.279
can have each other's eyes out there the whole movie,

274
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.600
and that would have been completely stupid chatty.

275
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.200
It would have been totally catty. That would have been annoying.

276
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.360
But they really kind of, Yeah, they found a common

277
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.639
ground and actually was you know Vivian who kind of

278
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.279
helped open up that door when Lle tried to and

279
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.519
kind of get kind of kept having that slammed in

280
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:32.600
her face. But I like we were trying to lift

281
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.919
each other up and and also not fight over a

282
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.120
bonehead dude who.

283
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.960
Really isn't that good. There has really anything to offer

284
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.000
either one of them. And you know, if you when you.

285
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:46.159
Focus on yourself or your friendship with you know, with that,

286
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.200
those are what's what's important and that will bring you,

287
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.080
know that those good collections and and those good life

288
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:53.600
you know, with that.

289
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.240
I like I like the I like the zag that

290
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.000
they they end up as friends. I thought that was nice.

291
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.399
And uh, we're gonna take a break and then we're

292
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.799
gonna come back. We're gonna talk about Reese Weatherspoon, We're

293
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.079
gonna talk about who could have played this role. Yeah,

294
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:11.480
we're gonna talk about some of her troubles that she had.

295
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:19.440
H We'll be right back, welcome back, and bern Angelo

296
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:25.079
are talking about legally blonde, and I'm here to say,

297
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.680
you know, a lot work a lot less as we

298
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:32.640
continue as little as possible. I don't have a whole

299
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.599
lot of mean things to say, truthfully, and I got

300
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.119
some nice things to say. But Reese Witherspoon kind of like, yeah,

301
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.680
you gotta think this is two thousand and one. She's

302
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:49.839
up against Charlie theirn Gwyneth Paltrow, Alicia Silverstone, Christina Applegate,

303
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:54.480
Jennifer love Hewett, and Catherine Heigel, and I gotta tell

304
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:59.160
you they were all absolutely wrong for this role, Like

305
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.319
Reese is the clear choice. Are you like those names? Amber,

306
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.240
any of those names that you just heard, any of

307
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.960
them make you pause and go WHOA?

308
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.559
I mean maybe Christina Applegate maybe?

309
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:17.920
Okay, now you know she actually it was hers. She

310
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.119
turned it down because she didn't want to be considered

311
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.960
like another airhead, ditzy blonde, like she was playing I'm

312
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.039
married with children, and she did that.

313
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.319
She was a legit she was she was legit dumb.

314
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.000
But she you know, Applegate did like late like later on,

315
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:37.960
she was like, you know, I regret that I should

316
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.519
have taken the role. And I don't know.

317
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.759
I mean, I think she's more talented than people give

318
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.440
her credit for. Oh yeah, honest, incredibly funny.

319
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.279
So I know a lot of people don't love it,

320
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.200
but I happen to be a fan of Don't tell

321
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.440
Me on The Babysitters Dead. I think she's awesome in

322
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.880
that where she you know, and she does the whole

323
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.759
I can do this, and she you know, does a

324
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.279
little secret of my success, sneaks in, you know, takes

325
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.599
over the company kind of. It's it's it's a good movie.

326
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:12.960
But now Luketch claimed he's he's reading the script and

327
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:16.319
on page five he claims he knew Reese had to

328
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:21.039
play l but in Gim was not convinced. Uh, citing

329
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:25.839
her role Amber Scotta love this, Jim. Jim cites cites

330
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.880
her role as Tracy Flick in a movie called Election,

331
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:30.880
which is awesome, which hates.

332
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.079
Uh.

333
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.759
Yeah, they made her audition, Yeah, they made her audition

334
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.960
several times. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Witherspoon explained,

335
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.799
and I'm quoting her here, they thought I was a

336
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.599
shrew My manager finally called and said, you've got to

337
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.160
go meet with the studio head because he will not

338
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.759
approve you. He thinks you really are your character from

339
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:59.319
election and that you're repellent. Oh and I was told

340
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.960
to dress sexy. Yeah, I.

341
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.039
Read that made me gag, like, well.

342
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.519
Awful? Hold on? Wait is her manager? Do we know?

343
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.960
Is her manager? Because I didn't, I didn't read this

344
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.759
is the manager, her manager agent? Whatever?

345
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:17.200
Is?

346
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:17.400
Is it?

347
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:18.319
A female or male?

348
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.759
It's not their fault, it's the studio head's fault. Well,

349
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.319
but to see her in a mini skirt.

350
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:31.039
Well I don't think that. I think, Well, Amber, I

351
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:34.359
know you know you you're disdained for Alexander Payne's election

352
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.359
is legendary, But think about think about what she looked

353
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.200
like in that movie, because Elle, you know she's she's

354
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.920
they jokingly call her Malibu Barbie and she does her

355
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.240
whole bikini. She's Miss Hawaiian Tropic.

356
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.039
Like that's the only movie.

357
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:52.880
Well, I get it, but you know, if you're if

358
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:53.920
you're locked into.

359
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.519
She was runner up of Hawaiian Tropics.

360
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.440
Thank you the runner up?

361
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.799
Why why would you want to throw that away?

362
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.720
Her contract stipulated that she keep all her costumes after filming.

363
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:10.839
Mm hm, not.

364
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.920
A bad not a bad gig. Listen Reese is amazing.

365
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.240
I think she's a very impressive actress. And all those names,

366
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.240
I'm thinking maybe Applegate. I'm with you, guys, I agree,

367
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.319
I think Applegate. Maybe I could have done it. But

368
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:28.240
the rest of them, it would have been like a

369
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:30.519
straight to video. It would have given off straight to

370
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.440
video vibes. And you know.

371
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:35.279
Balance.

372
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:38.400
I mean you you see a very good, like human side,

373
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.359
you know to her, and how deeply she feels and

374
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.720
how she's willing to help others. I mean, you see,

375
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:51.519
you have several examples, you know, yeah, you know yeah.

376
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:58.079
Luke Wilson as Emmitt Richmond. The screenwriters, I forget both

377
00:21:58.119 --> 00:21:59.880
these ladies' names. They're talented.

378
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.519
Uh, they've written some good Karen McColo, Lutson, Kurston Smith.

379
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:12.000
Thank you Angela. So it was so they envision Wilson

380
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.200
while they're crafting the love interest character, and after an

381
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.119
endless amount of guys have auditioned, they go to Lukettitch

382
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.039
and they and they they say, how about we audition

383
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:29.799
Luke Wilson for the Luke Wilson role, which I kind

384
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.640
of like their like their snarky guess there, I like, Well,

385
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.279
I'm a I'm a Luke Wilson guy. I like him.

386
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.799
Does he has is there is there any movie where

387
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.000
he's You've like, you guys have watched him and you're like,

388
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:44.839
Luke Wilson, he's great. I think.

389
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:48.519
That really comes to obvious mind.

390
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.279
But I but I don't watch any of the Wes

391
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.319
Anderson movies that he's in, so I those would probably

392
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:58.359
throw because I'm not a Wes Anderson film person, so

393
00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.559
I haven't watched those.

394
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:05.480
But stuff, if I angela, if I make if I

395
00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:09.279
make like several pictures of Margarita's, will you come over

396
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.680
and watch The World ten and Bombs with me and Amber?

397
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.079
Because it's a genius film. It's so good.

398
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:16.240
Yeah, I'm gonna have to.

399
00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:19.799
Well, yeah, I'm gonna have to because maybe I do

400
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:21.319
need to watch that with other people.

401
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:23.839
But yeah, I just there's just Hackman.

402
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.519
So yeah, so just Wes Anderson in general, Like you're

403
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:29.480
not you're not a Wes Anderson fan, like you don't

404
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:30.440
like is it just like.

405
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.920
Yeah, I think it's just the time.

406
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.599
I mean, I'm sure everything you know is good about it,

407
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:39.759
but it just nothing kind of that I connected with. So,

408
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.079
I mean, I'm not saying he's awful or anything. He's

409
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:44.279
just back cup of tea or anything.

410
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:46.920
Was was he your baccolades and things?

411
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:48.799
But was he? Was he your cup of tea? In

412
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:51.240
Old School two thousand and three, that.

413
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:54.559
Was a funny movie. I still will quote that. Oh yeah,

414
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.680
I probably quote the streaking thing at least.

415
00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:56.960
Yeah.

416
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.440
Once we can't work just to break the dungeon sometimes.

417
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.440
Yeah, yeah, he's pretty funny. I like those roles and

418
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:07.960
he you know.

419
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.720
It was I mean idiocracy that it was. It was.

420
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.839
It was Old School where his friends Will Ferrell and

421
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:19.079
Vince Vaughan gave him a new nickname. Throughout that production,

422
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:26.279
he was referred to as legally Bland. I like how

423
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.119
and what? Yeah? He plays I like, he usually plays

424
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:31.680
the guy that you're like, you know what, he's a

425
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:36.319
cool dude. He's a good hang like, he's trustworthy, like

426
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:36.880
him the get go.

427
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:38.880
Yeah, he's Well.

428
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.279
What's what's good about him in this is that he's

429
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:48.039
probably the first guy that has engaged with al and

430
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:50.160
is not hitting on her. It is not trying to

431
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.839
pick her up. He's just talking to a person on

432
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:59.920
a bench, and he continues that, you know, nice guy

433
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.599
with boundaries kind of moves that are working together.

434
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:11.359
And her too. Isn't he like a like an assistant.

435
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:12.680
I know, he's just an.

436
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:16.119
Associate of says, like doing research for him, like around

437
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:16.839
campus and stuff.

438
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:17.240
But he is.

439
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:21.079
He is an associate lawyer with Callahan's firm.

440
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.480
I liked him. I liked him. Let's talk about Jennifer Coolidge.

441
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.319
She plays the.

442
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.799
I love her, Oh my Paul, I love I love

443
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.599
her so much.

444
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:34.359
Okay, I'm gonna get this out of the way and

445
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:36.960
then we can move on, not from I want to

446
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:40.319
talk about Jennifer Coolidge, but I'm just gonna say it. Yeah,

447
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:42.599
I would say maybe ninety percent of the stuff she's

448
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:45.720
in I can't stand her. And that's not it's she's

449
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:46.400
playing I.

450
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.839
Mean, like her other things, not this movie, or she's

451
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:50.440
just kind of similar role.

452
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:52.720
She's kind of like she's kind of victimized in this movie.

453
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:55.240
She's kind of like the underdog in a way. She's

454
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:58.359
good in this movie, but in a lot of other stuff,

455
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.519
she's just annoying. I can't stand it. Like her her

456
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:06.680
character on Frasier, I couldn't stand her character and two

457
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.359
brut girls, couldn't couldn't stand.

458
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:10.720
Have you seen Best in Show?

459
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.519
Yeah, I don't remember. I really honestly, I don't remember.

460
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.200
Oh my god, she is side splitting like funny.

461
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.400
She's just so ridiculous.

462
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:26.039
And her on White Lotus was something else, like I heard.

463
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.640
About it, but I didn't like her in White Lotus. Yeah,

464
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.279
I didn't like her. I'm sorry, I look, I'm just

465
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:32.920
being I'm just being honest.

466
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:35.559
I know, I'm just but I liked.

467
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:36.519
I liked her.

468
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.000
She would probably annoy her character probably would annoying austin Land,

469
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.000
but knowing like if it was actually perfect, Like she's

470
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.559
just has no idea the understanding of Jane austin world.

471
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:50.279
She just wants to go there and wear a corset

472
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:53.960
and pretend she's in you know, the olden days, and

473
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:57.720
she's I find her hilarious in that one too, but

474
00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:59.880
you might find her annoyment idea.

475
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.480
Yeah, now, I didn't find her annoying in this, but again,

476
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:05.640
she's playing a very almost a sad character.

477
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:11.880
But I like again, she's an important moment because Elsie's

478
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:16.319
the potential of using the law to better people's lives.

479
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.359
Yeah, but you know, and again I you know, I'll

480
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.759
apologize for saying nice things about this movie.

481
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:22.440
Uh.

482
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:28.759
I think her character is it resonates because it's it's

483
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:30.880
like el can show we can see the goodness like

484
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:32.480
we were talking about earlier. We can see the goodness

485
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.960
in l how she likes to lift people up. She's

486
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:39.039
she's a very selfless character. And when you have someone

487
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:44.440
like Paulette who's downtrodden and kind of been bullied and

488
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:47.960
kind of just you know, never given the other she's

489
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:49.519
almost like Adrian and Rocky One.

490
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.680
Like she's in a different phase of her life too.

491
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.240
Yeah, she's like she's had it, like she had her moment,

492
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:59.119
but she didn't take her chance. Two other actresses.

493
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:01.880
Yes, I was just going to say they helped build

494
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:05.720
each other's confidence as well, you know, getting back to

495
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:09.119
that lifting each other up and listening and and really

496
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:12.359
caring about Yeah, the other person's.

497
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:17.519
Does the movie work if Kathy to Jimmy gets the

498
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:18.799
role Amber.

499
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:22.000
Yes, that would have been interesting.

500
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:24.240
Okay, you're both there smiling. Okay.

501
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.720
Apparently Carly Love was another option too.

502
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:28.519
That was the other option, Courtney Love.

503
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.359
Okay, I'm gonna say no, yeah, hell no, because I

504
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.400
don't think anybody ever in the history of the world

505
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:40.359
would ever believe that Courtney loves X would like take

506
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:43.039
the trailer and the dog and she would allow that

507
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:43.599
to happen.

508
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:47.359
Yeah, you're right, Yeah, you're right. Uh you know. Earlier

509
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.200
this year, uh Coolidge claimed that this role was one

510
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:55.000
of her all time favorite jobs, but she felt stupid

511
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:58.160
during the audition process because she thought she was going

512
00:28:58.200 --> 00:28:58.720
in for l.

513
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.160
That probably like sold them on her.

514
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.039
I get that she's you know, she's blonde, and she's

515
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:09.480
got the whole American pie thing. She's Stiffler's mom, But

516
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:13.680
I mean definitely a bit out of the are you playing?

517
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.960
Are you playing a sorority girl? Come on, I don't

518
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:23.880
know Sma Blair playing Vivian So Chloe Sevigi is who

519
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:28.079
they want. Yeah, she she's not gonna work. She didn't work.

520
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.440
She was suggested and everyone involved was like, no, mgim,

521
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:34.799
we don't we don't want her. Uh Reese's friend her

522
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:38.519
gal pal, Sema Blair, they'd worked together on cruel Intentions

523
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:40.960
and they're like, yeah, let's just bring her in. Can

524
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:42.720
I can? I just can I can I brag about

525
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:47.240
Somema Blair for a quick moment. Yeah, We were the

526
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.640
last the last con that we went to, Uh, the

527
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.599
con men. We're up in Michigan, you know, for Motor

528
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:54.119
City Con.

529
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:57.359
Yeah, everyone where you got to meet my man Carl.

530
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:02.680
That is, we're hanging out. We're hanging out with Carl Urban.

531
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.920
But the talk of the con is Sama Blair. And

532
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:12.720
the reason why is because apparently she is one of

533
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:18.119
the friendliest, most engaging people you can meet if you

534
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.359
go to one of these conventions. She you know, and

535
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:24.839
I'll I'm not I'm not not throwing shade. There were

536
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.759
some other celebrities, some other female celebrities that were very

537
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:31.880
don't touch me, you can stand near me. I will

538
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:38.279
sign something for you. One in particular was very you

539
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:40.519
can stand, we'll take a photo, but you stand on

540
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:43.319
that side of the table and I'll just lean back

541
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:47.519
and we'll do it that way. Meanwhile, Sama Blair is

542
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:50.160
not letting you leave unless you give her a hug,

543
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:53.480
telling her why you're why you're there, and just she's

544
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.920
spending all this extra time and no one's complaining. Everyone's

545
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.119
like loving Sama Blair and wanting to talk with her,

546
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:00.920
and apparently this is like her, this is her thing.

547
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:03.400
Like when she does these types of signings or she

548
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.960
does these conventions. She wants to meet her fans. So

549
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.079
I thought, I thought, well.

550
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.480
We're not gonna judge people for establishing physical boundaries.

551
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:11.880
But oh, I'm not saying that.

552
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:17.680
That sounds very sweet of her, and I was not

553
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:21.799
like the hugest fan of her. But she's in hell Boy,

554
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.759
which is a favorite thing in the world, and he

555
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.000
absolutely adores her because of her performance in those two movies.

556
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:31.799
So she is she is really good.

557
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:34.799
It's nice to hear that that she's awesome in real life.

558
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:38.319
Yeah, she's very very good person in real life, which

559
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:40.960
I like it. And she could have like this could

560
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.640
have been very cliche. She could have like she could

561
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:46.720
have played the caddy, you know, snooty Harvard girl. But

562
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.599
I like that. Again, they they decide to zag instead

563
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:54.799
of zig, and they let these two form a friendship

564
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:58.400
and build to use your words, build each other up,

565
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:00.799
you know. So I liked I liked her character, Like

566
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.680
I thought Vivian was a cool character. We're gonna move

567
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:07.160
on to the background. But there's one I found this

568
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:08.640
out and I was like, oh, we're talking about this

569
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:09.960
guy for a quick second.

570
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:13.279
I was gonna jump in if you missed it.

571
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:15.640
Amber, Amber, Who who do I want to talk about?

572
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.160
Go ahead and give us the name O Good Perkins.

573
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.519
He's playing David Kidney, who he's like the.

574
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.160
Nerdy guy, sweetest guy.

575
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:28.920
Like, Okay, can I I don't want to make a

576
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:30.559
habit of it, but can I say something that I

577
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:32.640
really like about the movie? Can I say something was

578
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:37.599
that I really enjoyed? Yes, this guy obviously super awkward,

579
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:39.880
he's super he's a geek, he's you know, I think

580
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:44.079
they call him dorky David. Yes, there's a scene that

581
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.440
I really I really enjoyed where he is putting himself

582
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.920
out there. He's trying to ask a girl out and

583
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.559
Elle is walking by. She hears it, and the you

584
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:56.279
know the bitchy girls like I can't believe you would

585
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:58.519
even think to talk to me, like like you have

586
00:32:58.559 --> 00:32:59.440
a shot, blah blah.

587
00:32:59.519 --> 00:32:59.640
You know.

588
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.880
She's just cutting him to pieces and l walks over

589
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:06.720
and does the coolest thing by smacking him in the face,

590
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.279
and I'm like, what are we doing? And then she goes,

591
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:11.680
I can't believe you did that to me and you

592
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:14.119
didn't call me even, like totally makes the guy look

593
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.319
like a stud. And then storms off and then then

594
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:18.799
these the caddy bitches are like, so when are we

595
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.480
gonna go out? You know? I love I love that.

596
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:24.599
I love that moment for his character.

597
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.400
And that's again like she she was listening.

598
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.319
She just happened to be in that right place, right time, and.

599
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.880
She's like, you know what, No, and then she made

600
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:34.319
you know that thing up and and to help him

601
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:36.039
and you know, put herself out there.

602
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:40.279
And my favorite Reese Weatherspoon moment in this movie was

603
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:43.319
that and that and look she's in the bikini several

604
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.279
times and I'm saying, I'm saying this is my favorite

605
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:50.279
for her. So, Amber, Why why do I need to

606
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:51.759
talk about Osgood Perkins though?

607
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:59.359
Because his dad is Anthony Perkins. His dad absolutely amazing actor.

608
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:05.160
Yeah, Anthony Perkins aka Norman Bates from the Psycho franchise

609
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:12.960
and Angela Osgod. Perkins has recently found some critical acclaim

610
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:17.039
as a director. Uh, there's a movie from twenty twenty

611
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.159
four which has already become like a cult classic horror movie.

612
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:25.039
And I would love to strap you down to a

613
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:28.599
couch and if you watch it with us, Amber, did

614
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.679
you watch Long Legs? No? Oh, it's batshit crazy it's

615
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.320
so good. It's so good spiders. No, it has nothing

616
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:41.559
to do with spiders. It's it's probably it feels it

617
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:44.480
feels a little silence of the lambs ish And it's

618
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:48.039
about about a female agent who's who's tracking a serial

619
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:51.159
killer and the serial killer is known as long He's

620
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:52.039
known as Long Legs.

621
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:57.000
Okay, story is it more psychological?

622
00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:02.320
Like psychological horror. There's one or two gory scenes. There's

623
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:05.480
a scene where you're like, holy shit, and then and

624
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:07.159
then after other than that, you're just you're creeped out,

625
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.760
like you watch it and then you're like, I think

626
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.440
I'm gonna go home and turn on all the lights.

627
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:13.639
Plus I also want to take a shower because I.

628
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:15.760
Yeah, I definitely don't want to watch that one by myself.

629
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:17.840
We had her on the Royal tene bombs. Let's not

630
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:20.079
push it, Yeah, okay.

631
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:22.519
We won't. But Oz Good Perkins. When I found out

632
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:23.920
he was the director of Long Legs, I was like,

633
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:25.719
hell yes, because I think they're doing a sequel to

634
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:28.599
Long Legs. Nicholas Cage is confirmed. I think he's coming back,

635
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.800
which I'm like, how But more on that later or

636
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:38.400
another time. Okay, all right, Uh so, as Angela pointed

637
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:41.800
out earlier, this is the film is based off of

638
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:45.400
Amanda Brown's novel of the same name. So the book

639
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:47.559
comes out. I thought this was kind of cool. The

640
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:52.280
book comes out. I'm sorry. She's attending Stanford, she's writing

641
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:56.920
letters home, she's not happy, she doesn't fit in. She

642
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.760
later compiles all of them into a manuscript, and then

643
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:04.239
she sends that out. Angela, can you tell me the

644
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.079
unique thing about this manuscript? She's sitting out to agents, Well,

645
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:08.880
did you catch this?

646
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:11.840
Well, if it's what I think it is, she actually

647
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:13.719
she's self published in two thousand and one, but the

648
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:17.679
movie rights had already been I guess purchasing that time,

649
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:20.159
because her actual novel doesn't come out until like two

650
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:20.880
thousand and three.

651
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.079
What's unique about her manuscript though?

652
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.119
Oh, one agent in particular, she had sent it on

653
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.880
She put it on pink paper, which then they did

654
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:30.679
they made that.

655
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.760
As part of the movie.

656
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:35.039
Got L's resume and it sent it because it gives

657
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:36.119
it a little something extra.

658
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:40.280
I that scene, I've been I've been very nice towards

659
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.880
the movie, so I gotta I'm gonna gonna double back. Yeah,

660
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.719
that scene, I'm like, come on, No, no one in

661
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.360
the right mind is doing resumes on pink paper, and

662
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.519
then you find out in real life the author did

663
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.960
in fact do it, and that's what got her right.

664
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:59.800
And I think that you know, thinking out of the

665
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:03.880
box or not just being afraid to you know, express

666
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:05.920
yourself into every ones But also it was a way.

667
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:06.800
To stand out.

668
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:11.639
No, that's not the standard you know, up tight tie

669
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:13.920
to you know, things like that, the thinking that you

670
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:16.199
you know, in order to be taken seriously to make

671
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:19.079
it look like every single you know, other one. So

672
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.800
it was just you know that little again that was

673
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.079
having a little bit of an l quality you know

674
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:28.480
to it, which yes, it could come across as you know,

675
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.199
annoying or silly or whatever, but you know, good for

676
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:35.199
you know, she's speaking of out, was trying to stick out,

677
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:35.679
you know.

678
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:41.880
Speaking of L. Amanda Brown named the character L for

679
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:43.519
what reason El.

680
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.760
Magazine magazine because she was, yeah, she was goal she

681
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.599
you know, was studying law, but she was a huge

682
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:55.400
fan of fashion and reading the reading L fashion magazine.

683
00:37:56.079 --> 00:38:00.880
And she actually did go to some kind of you know,

684
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:03.639
mixture or whatnot, and there was a woman there who

685
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.199
had been trying to change semester to Ovester, which they

686
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.519
did include in the film as well, and just that

687
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:13.559
she couldn't really make friends with him, and she's like

688
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.760
they were just a bunch of like angry people. And

689
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:18.800
so she was started writing these funny letters about just

690
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.639
everything that she was, you know, going through and and

691
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.480
compiled it to make you know this, you know, just

692
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:30.199
showing those uh, you know, assumption stereotypical and that you

693
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:31.719
can come in all shapes and for me, you don't

694
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.559
all have to be practically deformed.

695
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:37.760
Yeah, Amber, a movie in.

696
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.960
Order you know, to be a lawyer be taken.

697
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:46.760
Seriously, Amber, Christine Applegate, she turned us down. She regretted it.

698
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:49.920
Do you think do you think Universal regretted passing on

699
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.960
this and letting it drop right into MGM's lap.

700
00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:56.159
I mean, yeah, I'm sure that person got fired.

701
00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:57.880
I think I mean, this.

702
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:00.800
Thing made like one hundred and twenty million over budget.

703
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:06.480
Yeah, I think that person. I mean, MGM is struggling

704
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:08.559
and they're like, we can we just scrounge up enough

705
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:10.519
money and buy this and maybe maybe we could do

706
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:13.960
something with it, and Universes like we're good, we got

707
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:17.840
Draculine Frankenstein. We're fine. Uh, someone someone lost their job

708
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:19.000
on this one. Definitely.

709
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.280
But I mean even though MGM misunderstood what it was about,

710
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.079
I mean that just goes to show.

711
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:28.440
Of of two of what happens.

712
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:31.519
When you do invest in these stories with you know,

713
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.280
empowering women and and you know not too. I mean

714
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.639
we saw that, you know with Barbie. I mean Grennan,

715
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:39.360
you know, a couple of decades later.

716
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:40.039
But it's just.

717
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.360
There is a need and there's yes and there you know,

718
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:47.800
those are you know, those types of good you know

719
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:50.679
vibes and you know with that and that Yes, if

720
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:53.760
you invest in things like this, hell yeah, you know

721
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:57.760
it's uh.

722
00:39:56.639 --> 00:40:00.519
But you know thetor there is everybody going to learning

723
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:00.880
from it.

724
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:05.800
Probably not. I'm on the record, Barbie was a fantastic film.

725
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.639
I did the Barbenheimer Weekend. We covered it. We did

726
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:10.960
a little back of the box office action.

727
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:14.599
So yeah, and I will even admit I had I was.

728
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:16.559
Like, why are they making a Barbie? I'm like, this

729
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:18.719
is oh my god. I just I thought it was

730
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:19.840
going to be ridiculous.

731
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.360
Yeah, I'm like I was just going to be a

732
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.519
laughing stock of women. I'm like, this is just going

733
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:27.760
to be a kick in the vagina. It's not going

734
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:29.760
to help anyone. It's just awful.

735
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:32.639
So I waited until.

736
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:35.119
You know, it was available, you know, at home, and

737
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:36.800
then I started hearing things. But I was like, okay,

738
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:39.079
I will give us a try. If this is what

739
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:41.800
I'm hearing is right, And yeah, I absolutely wound up

740
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:44.119
loving it. I'm like, this is amazing that this was

741
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:48.280
nothing what I was afraid it was going to be.

742
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:54.039
But you know, we've this show's been running strong for

743
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:59.840
six and a half seasons. And if if someone to

744
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:01.320
me that I was going to do it for like

745
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:04.679
another twenty season, I would tell them that the one

746
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:09.559
phrase that they will never hear is kick to the vagina.

747
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:12.320
Thank you, thank you for that. Welcome.

748
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:14.800
Let's go.

749
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:21.000
Yeah, let's let's take a break because when we get back,

750
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:23.320
we're gonna we're gonna talk about the scene. We're gonna

751
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:27.320
talk about some numbers, and we'll see what Angela has

752
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:36.719
to say. Okay, So, Amber, there's a scene you want

753
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.440
to talk about. Before we talk about it, I want

754
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:41.559
to know is it Are we talking about it because

755
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:46.559
of a strong performance? Is it the pivotal moment? Is

756
00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:50.159
it because of the cinematography? Did it piss did it

757
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.679
piss Amber Lewis off, like, what what scene? What? Why

758
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:53.880
are you? Why are we talking about the scene you

759
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:54.480
want to talk about?

760
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:57.960
Well, nothing in this movie pisses me off. I think

761
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.760
this is a perfect movie. I love it and I

762
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:06.960
will argue anyone about it. But no, I'm I'm gonna

763
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.960
hedge a little bit. It's actually kind of two scenes.

764
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:13.599
But you love the movie and it's summer break, so

765
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:15.239
go for it. You can do if you want.

766
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:22.000
But the storytelling in the two montages that we get

767
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:28.360
where initially, you know, Elle goes to she decides she's

768
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.840
going to go to Harvard, she goes to her advisor.

769
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.719
Her advisor says, Okay, if you want to do it,

770
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:35.159
these are the things that you need, and then she

771
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:39.320
is one hundred percent focused on doing that thing, and

772
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:44.199
so we see her forego any social life, any of

773
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.239
the things she normally does. She's one hundred percent focused

774
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:50.719
on making this happen, and it does, and then we

775
00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:54.400
get it again. After she realizes that, she says to

776
00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:56.159
Werner like, I'm never going to be good enough for you,

777
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:00.880
and instead of saying like, well, the whole point of

778
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:03.079
coming here was to get this guy back and so

779
00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:06.039
I might as well leave, because you know that was

780
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:10.559
my purpose. She finds her true purpose, which is I'm

781
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:13.039
going to excel at this. I'm not only going to stay.

782
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:16.559
I'm going to stay and be awesome. And we see her,

783
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:20.920
you know, she changes how she dresses, she's being more serious,

784
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.800
she's spending less time grooming and more time studying, and

785
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:27.159
changing what she watches on television. Like she's making all

786
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:33.039
of these adjustments to a new goal, which is this

787
00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:36.480
law degree. And I love both of those sections. That

788
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:40.960
just the tenacity and the focus for me is all

789
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:42.599
about what this movie is about.

790
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:48.000
Double montage. That's a win. Yeah. Normally you want to

791
00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:52.320
break a rule, the rules and be like I got yeah,

792
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.360
but you know this is a situation where it's like, yeah,

793
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:56.079
you got it, you got You can't talk about one

794
00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:59.039
montage without talking about the other one. Yes, good scene,

795
00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:02.960
good scenes, Amber, is what I would say, angela same question.

796
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:07.280
But first, why are we talking about your scene?

797
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.000
I think it was a bit of a pivotal moment.

798
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:14.039
But uh, with this, and actually.

799
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.840
We touched on it earlier and Amber had made an

800
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:23.239
excellent comment that we were on the same page as

801
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:27.119
to why I pick this It's a scene where Elle

802
00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:31.840
represents Paulette to her crappy ex husband just to get

803
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:34.880
her dog back after Plot tells her, how, you know

804
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.039
how she you know, she didn't get to throw on

805
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:38.920
a birthday party and all that's all.

806
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:39.639
She know she wanted.

807
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:43.559
So I think it not only helps you know, further

808
00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:46.519
that friendship in her seeing the good that she can do.

809
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:49.840
With that because you know that she wants to.

810
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.159
I mean she she's a very good hearted person and

811
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:56.400
she can help. She will help, and also building up

812
00:44:56.440 --> 00:44:59.320
their confidence and her you know, practicing those terms and

813
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:01.519
kind of put no shoes on even though you know,

814
00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:03.840
I mean, the guy's an idiot. What is he what

815
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:05.679
is he going to know and what he's going to do,

816
00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:08.360
And given her, you know, that confidence is like I'm

817
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:08.880
here to.

818
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:10.159
Take the dog, dumb ass.

819
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:12.199
You know, after she's just being very meek and quiet

820
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:16.159
and God knows, you know, yes how just emotionally like

821
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:18.760
small and everything that he has you know made her

822
00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:20.880
and her still having you know, that that trauma from

823
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:23.559
that experience. She's like I'm not here for you. She's like,

824
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:25.960
I want my dog, and just how happy you know

825
00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:27.360
she is to have them in of course. You know.

826
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:29.559
Then later when they're sitting together in her you know,

827
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:33.960
Salon Bruiser, El's little chihuahua is sitting next.

828
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:36.760
To her, you know, her bulldog, and you know, it.

829
00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:39.480
Just gives Elle that that confidence and that taste of

830
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:41.840
that good that she can do that. And this isn't

831
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:44.920
just a law degree. This is a very good stepping

832
00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:50.639
stone for her to and enhance her good qualities and

833
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:54.880
becoming a skill set with people, you know, absolutely and

834
00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:57.800
knowing how she can you know, you know, do that.

835
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.719
So I really enjoyed that that scene.

836
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:04.360
All right, another great scene, and I do I like.

837
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:06.239
I like both, but I like both the scenes that

838
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:08.639
you guys you mentioned, Like I said, I love the

839
00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:12.639
scene with David. But I also I feel like it's

840
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:16.440
been I've gone a little long without complaining about the movie.

841
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:20.519
So I'm I want to go with a scene I'm

842
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:22.559
going to file on under did it piss Amber Lewis off?

843
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:26.800
I don't know, it didn't. Amber Amber says, nothing pissed off,

844
00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:28.800
But I feel like it. It definitely is. It should

845
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:31.400
have because it it bothered the ship out of me.

846
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:34.559
Because it's one of the dumbest scenes ever filmed in

847
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:39.199
cinematic history. Hm hmm. I'm talking about the ben and

848
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:43.719
snap scene. This is just it's just a dumb scene.

849
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:47.000
It's just yeah, like, we're there, we're the chat. You said,

850
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:48.800
you said a gift of it. I'm like, what the

851
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:51.679
hell is I don't what's that mean? And then once

852
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:55.719
I got to it, that scene, that scene. Okay, look,

853
00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:57.519
I know you guys aren't going to concede the point,

854
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.599
but can you at least meet me even remotely halfway

855
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:02.840
and say this scene was kind of dumb.

856
00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:08.440
I think, yeah, it was a dumb I say, ridiculous.

857
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:13.440
But sometimes you just need to be fun and silly.

858
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:19.599
And it's for her to get in attention from you know,

859
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:21.719
a dude, which is I mean, let's put which is

860
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:25.159
of most of their their energy anyway. But I think

861
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:29.079
being making fun of that of what will get your

862
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:32.440
guys' attention or you know, hotch killing her boyfriend.

863
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:37.360
I'm I'm going to speak for all mankind right now

864
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:38.280
and tell you all.

865
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:40.960
I mean, I've never done the bend and snap, the.

866
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:46.679
Bend and snap throw it out of the playbook, no one.

867
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:49.360
I mean, it's one thing like if you want to

868
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:51.800
drop a pin or you want to drop something. Oh,

869
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:55.400
I dropped it the bend. Okay, Okay, you might get

870
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:58.159
our y, that's an attention. The snap part is just

871
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.360
it's just stupid. It's absolutely stupid.

872
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:03.719
But the point is that you're wasting our time with this.

873
00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:08.000
But when you could be talking about the courtroom scene,

874
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:12.079
which was one hundred percent modeled off of my cousin Vinnie.

875
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.639
Yea, and you love that movie, like.

876
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:20.239
I love my cousin Vinnie. But I'm also I'm also

877
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:23.559
just the courtroom scene kind of it pissed me off

878
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:27.159
a little bit too. But I'm I'm just I'm not

879
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:29.039
gonna get into it. We'll be here all night, but

880
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:34.159
I'm just saying is dumb. And you know, I get it.

881
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:36.599
You could have if it could have just been for

882
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:41.440
Paultte to get the Amazon delivery driver guy. But the

883
00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:44.639
fact that every stranger in this place is like, oh,

884
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:48.480
let me try, and it becomes like this, goofy stupid.

885
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:54.079
I don't care how many stupid freakin' Anchorman, don't.

886
00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:00.639
How many watched men Yeah, hold on each other decades and.

887
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:05.360
Blonde is a comedy, yes, but it's not a comedy

888
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:09.920
like Anchorman. It's not satire it's not like like slapstick satire.

889
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:13.480
I you can't put legally blonde in the same category

890
00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:14.639
with airplane, you know.

891
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:17.719
I'm just saying this was doing it as an example.

892
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.360
I have watched men do plenty of dumb ass things

893
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:29.159
and comedy like what years.

894
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:32.639
Jesus, we don't have our lives, but it's been like

895
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.480
making fun women do to get you know, to like

896
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.159
she you know, she busts out these statistics with it,

897
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:42.199
so I, I don't know, I kind of took I

898
00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:44.840
didn't take it seriously. I took it as just the

899
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:49.000
ridiculous links that someone will go to the man's attention

900
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:53.679
later and it said, yeah, she breaks the guy's nose

901
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:58.519
because she can't call l like hysterical and like my

902
00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:01.079
girlfriend want sparked on a guy during the Blair Witch

903
00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:03.159
Project and they ended up dating for three months.

904
00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:06.880
Yeah it's gonna be okay. I care about you too,

905
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:11.000
so just tell you don't don't do the bend and

906
00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:13.960
snap because you're not gonna get a guy. Ever. This

907
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:16.480
the fact that they think like this director thought that

908
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:16.760
was like.

909
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:24.039
It is a whole like musical number in the Broadway show.

910
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:30.480
It has to be the whole thing if if I'm

911
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:32.559
forced to take a date to that. When the Ben

912
00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:35.440
and Snap line comes up, I'm like and get us

913
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:37.760
something drink. I'm hit, I'm hitting the lobby. I'm out.

914
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:39.199
Like the scene so.

915
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:43.800
Well, you're getting left in the car, You're not getting

916
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:44.559
no how do you do?

917
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:47.039
And whatever?

918
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:51.880
For that may be, I'll tell you something.

919
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:52.800
Let me.

920
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:57.280
Let me tell you something, Angela when I when I

921
00:50:57.280 --> 00:50:58.880
don't get that what I don't get the how do

922
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:00.440
you do? Man? That is it? That is a kick

923
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:03.039
in the gym. You're gonna be able tot Withe's it's rough.

924
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:12.400
Let's let's run the numbers. This was released on July thirteenth.

925
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.880
Look at that. It is officially the twenty fifth anniversary,

926
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:20.559
So happy anniversary to l two thousand and one. Yeah,

927
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:23.079
it's run time of ninety six minutes. That is a

928
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:26.000
lean movie, not not. There's nothing left on the bone here.

929
00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:30.119
On a budget of eighteen million dollars, it made twenty

930
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:35.280
million dollars its opening weekend, and that's before finishing its

931
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:38.400
theatrical run of one hundred and forty two million, thus

932
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:41.719
making it a major hit for MGM, who was struggling

933
00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:47.679
pretty financially at the Time six point five out of ten.

934
00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:51.239
Recent Universal card with you Know Suck.

935
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:56.760
It six point five out of ten on IMDb, seventy

936
00:51:56.760 --> 00:51:59.639
five percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a three to

937
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:03.320
eight out of five on Letterboxed and received an A minus.

938
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:09.079
It's too low, Yeah, it's pretty high. Received an A

939
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:14.159
minus on cinema Scores a plus to F grade scale.

940
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:20.639
Roger Eberts gave this movie three out of four stars,

941
00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:26.239
saying the film was quote impossible to dislike, to which

942
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:31.000
I'd like to counter by saying, quote nothing is impossible,

943
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:38.559
Roger Eberson. As for its accolades, it won Choice Summer

944
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:43.159
Movie at the prestigious Teen Choice Awards, and Reese Witherspoon

945
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:46.400
won three of the four awards she was nominated for

946
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:50.320
at the MTV Movie Awards. Legally Blonde was nominated for

947
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:53.159
two Golden Globes, but did not win either. You might

948
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:58.119
say the only Golden Globes that Reese went home with

949
00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.760
were the two that she arrived with, which Angela started

950
00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:02.679
with the vagina stuff.

951
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:09.519
Okay, a completely different context. Oh boy, just because I

952
00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:10.840
named a body part.

953
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:18.800
Okay, I was, I was curious about this. Let's let's

954
00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:23.119
wrap things up here. So someone watches legally Blond for

955
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:27.239
the first time, like, well, like I did, uh, and

956
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:30.599
they say, hey, I get it. This guy he created

957
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:33.519
legally Blond. It's a massive success. But what is it?

958
00:53:33.599 --> 00:53:36.639
Anything underrated? He did, anything that flew under the radar

959
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:39.480
that he wrote, that he directed. Maybe he was in

960
00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:44.039
that you would recommend amber. Do you have a recommendation

961
00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:48.360
an underrated at recommendation for Robert lukettch I do.

962
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:53.519
I actually have not seen any of his other work. However,

963
00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:59.519
he did direct two episodes of a TV show that

964
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:04.000
I'm interested in checking out. It's called Schmigadoon. It's on

965
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:09.599
Apple Plus and it was canceled after two seasons and

966
00:54:09.639 --> 00:54:12.360
then made into a Broadway musical, which just won the

967
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:16.840
Tony Award for Best Broadway Musical. It's about a couple

968
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:19.840
on a backpacking trip and they discover a magical town

969
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:24.159
in which everyone acts like they're in a classic musical.

970
00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:26.559
That actually sounds good. That sounds that.

971
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:34.079
Stars Keegan Michael Key, who I love, and Cecily Strong,

972
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:40.679
who is hilarious. She's on SNL Okay all right, Angela,

973
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:44.679
and so I'm interested in Okay, And.

974
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:48.960
You haven't seen any of his other films. No, he's done.

975
00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:50.679
He's like he did. I think I want to say,

976
00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:52.800
fourteen films is what his.

977
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:56.400
Catalog is just never that's interesting.

978
00:54:57.559 --> 00:54:57.760
Thing.

979
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:00.000
I only saw like six or seven things pop up.

980
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:03.840
But whatever, Okay, well, Angela, what be your under Okay?

981
00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:05.440
Well what what is your underrated? Pick?

982
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:10.840
I think we have what underrated is? But The Ugly Truth?

983
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:14.119
That is one of my favorite comedies with the Gerard

984
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:15.360
Butler and Katherine Heigel.

985
00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:24.880
Butler watch the Opera broke me Like.

986
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:27.960
I don't Butler then.

987
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:30.800
Yeah, no you can't. Yeah you can't just with that.

988
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:33.000
Oh honey, you gotta give him a chance.

989
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:36.440

Yes, I mean, but.

995
00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:56.039
I called it. I was like, Angela is going to

996
00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:57.840
say the Ugly Truth.

997
00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:01.639
From I probably put on but you know once every

998
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:03.599
you know year or so. But it's one of those where.

999
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:06.280
I it's just it's just so funny.

1000
00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:08.800
And it's Yes, it's considered a romantic comedy, but I

1001
00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:11.079
feel like it's a little bit of a side route

1002
00:56:11.800 --> 00:56:15.960
to getting you know, to that without being so like me,

1003
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:21.039
you know, melodramatic, you achey, really freaking funny, and I

1004
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:21.360
think they.

1005
00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:23.480
Let me help you out amazing, let me help you

1006
00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:26.400
out here, Amber, because that was my pick two thousand

1007
00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:32.079
and nine is The Ugly Truth. So Katherine Heigel plays well,

1008
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:34.840
she plays you guys. She's she's basically playing one of

1009
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:36.800
like you guys. If like we if we created a

1010
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:39.320
character that it was like you guys, she's probably that.

1011
00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:45.639
She's she's a successful, successful, uh television producer. Her show

1012
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:49.800
is is tanking. She's not doing good, and she's also

1013
00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:53.840
again suspension of displief. She's having trouble meeting a guy

1014
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:57.639
because she's Catherine Heigel and she looks like Katherine Heigel. Meanwhile,

1015
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:02.800
Gerard Butler has a show, a very popular show called

1016
00:57:03.199 --> 00:57:07.639
The Ugly Truth, and he really just tells it like

1017
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:11.679
it is in a misogynistic I would say, he's a

1018
00:57:11.679 --> 00:57:14.800
little bit of a male show. He's a little misogynistic.

1019
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:19.559
And she calls in one night Amber to basically just

1020
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:22.599
give him the business and you know, ball him out

1021
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:23.800
and just like you don't know what the hell you're

1022
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:26.519
talking about. And meanwhile, she shows up to work the

1023
00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:29.320
next day and her producers were like, Hey, we've hired

1024
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:31.800
this guy and we're gonna do this new show and

1025
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:35.320
you and they're kind of forced to work together. So

1026
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:41.119
it is it's one of those you know, they definitely

1027
00:57:41.199 --> 00:57:43.360
should not work, but you know, and they're gonna fight

1028
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:48.840
formulaic definitely, but it's a funn It's really funny.

1029
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:52.599
She you know, bosts his balls all throughout the whole thing,

1030
00:57:52.639 --> 00:57:55.239
and him still trying to get under her skin with

1031
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.280
his comments and stuff, and she's just like.

1032
00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:01.000
He's cross amber. Here is where I'm gonna I'm gonna

1033
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:04.119
win you over, I think because you remember, same director

1034
00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:12.280
as Legally Blonde, also same producers, same screenwriters. So if you.

1035
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:17.159
And the writers also did ten Things I Hate about You,

1036
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:20.519
which I looked up, they also which I you know,

1037
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:22.320
which I love.

1038
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:23.320
That I was one of.

1039
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:24.679
It was one of my favorite.

1040
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:28.079
I'm amenable to this, Yeah, and it would have probably

1041
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:32.039
done a lot better, but it had the unfortunate, uh

1042
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:34.000
business of going up against Harry Potter and the half

1043
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:39.000
Blood Prints, which absolutely, you know, Slaughtered in the Box

1044
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:39.440
was the.

1045
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:41.880
Worst, was the worst adaptation of the book. That's all

1046
00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:43.159
I'll say it was so angry.

1047
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:45.880
Okay, it's the best book, that's all all say.

1048
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:49.360
I'm saying it could be the best book, but it

1049
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:51.800
was the worst adaptation to film.

1050
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.639
They left out the one line that I had waited

1051
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:57.440
six movies to hear, so I was.

1052
00:58:57.360 --> 00:58:58.199
Like, it was a lot.

1053
00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:01.639
I remember leaving that favorite very pissed off about. Yeah,

1054
00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:03.440
I was very upset with that whole thing.

1055
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:07.559
Yeah, Legally Blonde.

1056
00:59:08.679 --> 00:59:13.480
Legally Blonde right now is streaming pretty much everywhere. I

1057
00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:16.840
watched on Prime they got this what is it? Is

1058
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:19.440
it a prequel like the TV show? Is that what

1059
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:21.639
they're they're doing. You guys are looking at.

1060
00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:23.840
Me, and I'm not sure. I didn't. I haven't watched Yeah,

1061
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:25.679
I haven't watched it. Her looking at it, so I'm not.

1062
00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:29.199
Yeah, well she looks like when she's in college or

1063
00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:30.760
maybe yeah, it doesn't look.

1064
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:33.320
Yeah, well okay, I watched it on Prime. But it's

1065
00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:35.840
also apparently it's on Netflix, it's on HBO Max, it's

1066
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:38.719
on Hulu, it's it's on YouTube for free.

1067
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:43.559
By yourself a physical copy because it's that good.

1068
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:52.280
Uh obviously you Okay, Amber says, own it. Just watch it, Angela.

1069
00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:54.559
It's obvious. You guys are I knew you guys are

1070
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:56.880
big fans. You guys were lobbying for this one. And

1071
00:59:56.920 --> 00:59:58.159
I was like, yeah, well we'll do it.

1072
00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:02.920
You know, I will say you did. You didn't make

1073
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:05.199
any comments, but I was. I was wondering if you

1074
01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:08.239
were going to make some kind of a pro Warner comment,

1075
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:09.840
and I was gonna be like, this is like Nate

1076
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:11.880
Gate from Devil Worst Prada all over.

1077
01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.599
He don't don't bring up, don't bring up ugly business.

1078
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:16.360
We can talk about the ugly truth, but let's not

1079
01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:17.239
do ugly business.

1080
01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:20.920
I will say, it's the bottom line here. Did you

1081
01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:22.880
enjoy it? Do you like it? Will you ever watch

1082
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:23.280
it again?

1083
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:23.400
Like?

1084
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:23.960
What's the deal?

1085
01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:27.599
Yeah, enjoyed, enjoy her?

1086
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:30.880
Will you watch the second?

1087
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:33.480
What you said you would watch Devil Worst Product again?

1088
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:36.519
No, Well that's a great it's a great film. Can

1089
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:38.360
I just be honest and say, Devil Worst Product was

1090
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:38.840
a great film?

1091
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:42.280
Loved it, loved you liked much better than you liked this.

1092
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:46.840
I didn't really like this. I will never watch this again.

1093
01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:54.639
I just I'm just being fair. I'm just being honest. Uh,

1094
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:56.320
there there will be no second time for me. But

1095
01:00:57.280 --> 01:01:00.280
Reese Witherspoon is an incredible actress. She was fantast sick

1096
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:03.280
in the movie. But I do have a you know,

1097
01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:06.880
since I can't recommend it, I do have some recommendations.

1098
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:12.880
I'm gonna I'm gonna, Amber Lewis this real quick. I

1099
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:20.079
would recommend, sorry, I would recommend Fear for dramatic rees.

1100
01:01:21.639 --> 01:01:27.320
If you want calculating, conniving, highly intelligent Reese, you gotta

1101
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:30.400
go with Alexander Paine's election. Amber says no to that.

1102
01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:36.559
Uh Twilight, No, not that shitty one for sexy Reese

1103
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:44.840
and American Psycho for the perfect annoying Reese who gets

1104
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:48.440
dumped in spectacular fashion by Patrick Bateman in a dinner

1105
01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:51.400
scene that far exceeds the dinner scene in this movie.

1106
01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:54.400
I'm sorry, I was kind of laughing. I was like,

1107
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:58.199
holy shit, she's getting dumped at dinner by her super rich,

1108
01:01:58.239 --> 01:02:02.639
powerful boyfriend again. But in American Psycho it's way better.

1109
01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:05.840
So and I Amber, I would I would ask you

1110
01:02:06.880 --> 01:02:10.679
on the record to please never watch American Psycho. I

1111
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:11.360
would also.

1112
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:18.719
Watched it and don't do that. My eyeballs with Bleach.

1113
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:20.559
The same for you, Angela, you stay away from that.

1114
01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:21.079
That's not for you.

1115
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:24.960
I've already seen it. I've actually seen it. I know

1116
01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:26.719
a few times. I've seen it a few times. And

1117
01:02:26.760 --> 01:02:30.639
one time my brother and I were watching it, uh

1118
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:32.400
Mom's house.

1119
01:02:32.440 --> 01:02:35.119
This was years ago, and we started cracking up because.

1120
01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:40.159
She walked in on the scene, you know, the looking

1121
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:44.000
at his reflection and pointing it out, and we just

1122
01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:46.639
start cracking up laughing. But yeah, is that one that

1123
01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:48.519
I would go to watch? You get know, there is

1124
01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:53.199
obviously one in particular, like watching I don't want to

1125
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:58.840
do first Ones when she was like fourteen, that's a

1126
01:02:58.880 --> 01:02:59.760
really good movie.

1127
01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:05.039
Do not listen? Listeners projects out there?

1128
01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:09.159
Listeners It means War with my man Tom Hardy and

1129
01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:13.000
Chris Pine. That was a movie that was listeners.

1130
01:03:13.719 --> 01:03:18.159
Listeners. Amber Lewis and Angela Norris, we now know that

1131
01:03:18.159 --> 01:03:22.199
they have seen American Psycho. So it's never too early

1132
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:26.320
to start the letter writing campaign to get American Psycho

1133
01:03:26.480 --> 01:03:30.239
for next season and Amber Angela America. It's the three

1134
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:35.519
A's American Psycho, Amber Angela. Yeah, let's work on, come

1135
01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:35.840
on gain.

1136
01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:39.400
I still remember some quotes from that, but I wouldn't

1137
01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:39.719
be able to.

1138
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:42.800
Yeah, some of my all time favorite books. Bredion read

1139
01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:43.360
the book.

1140
01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:46.360
But it's like, yeah, twenty times worse the book.

1141
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:49.559
The book makes the movie look like a Disney film.

1142
01:03:50.199 --> 01:03:51.400
You both stay away from that.

1143
01:03:53.559 --> 01:03:56.519
Now, lesson zero. Yeah that was messed up.

1144
01:03:56.599 --> 01:03:56.800
Yeah.

1145
01:03:57.079 --> 01:04:00.840
