[SPEAKER_03]: We just solved it for you pretty good, right?

00:51.201 --> 00:59.294
[SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, one problem we can't solve is our co-host Justin who is currently down in Mexico and has no Wi-Fi He's on family vacation.

00:59.334 --> 01:00.196
[SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty cool.

01:00.396 --> 01:04.783
[SPEAKER_03]: He is so he has the spend time with his family instead of us

01:04.763 --> 01:06.707
[SPEAKER_03]: You saw dirt by it.

01:07.148 --> 01:08.130
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm not hurt.

01:08.291 --> 01:09.614
[SPEAKER_03]: It just hurts.

01:09.634 --> 01:11.618
[SPEAKER_03]: It seems like you're a little bit.

01:15.567 --> 01:17.451
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fine Thanks, man.

01:17.551 --> 01:20.718
[SPEAKER_03]: It is going to be okay because we have a great guest.

01:22.402 --> 01:23.464
[SPEAKER_03]: The guest will cheer

01:23.444 --> 01:32.017
[SPEAKER_03]: everybody up of the pressure on her but she is great creator and has a new book out a new graphic novel called The College Try.

01:32.057 --> 01:35.463
[SPEAKER_03]: It is out today from Maverick and Bad Cave Studios.

01:35.963 --> 01:38.167
[SPEAKER_03]: Please, gentlemen, Olivia Quartero Briggs.

01:38.287 --> 01:40.170
[SPEAKER_03]: Olivia, welcome back to the show.

01:40.488 --> 01:43.693
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, seriously, no pressure of my gosh.

01:43.713 --> 01:45.416
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome back.

01:45.436 --> 01:50.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Here it is to your every one up.

01:50.183 --> 01:50.504
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.

01:51.285 --> 01:53.048
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I am excited to talk about this book.

01:53.509 --> 01:56.053
[SPEAKER_03]: We had a chance to read it in advance.

01:56.253 --> 02:03.865
[SPEAKER_03]: He's out in stores today, so everybody can pick it up either online or off, but I'll give a little picture that you add on whatever you like.

02:03.905 --> 02:08.352
[SPEAKER_03]: So it is about a stand up comedian who

02:08.332 --> 02:13.339
[SPEAKER_03]: It seems like she thinks she's doing great, except she's not exactly lucky in love.

02:13.499 --> 02:26.437
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe her own fault a little bit, and then through a series of circumstances where she goes back to her college reunion, she gets sent back in time to her sophomore year with the chance to possibly change some stuff.

02:26.457 --> 02:33.767
[SPEAKER_03]: And there are some twists and turns and lots of delightful romance and comedy throughout what did I miss?

02:33.847 --> 02:36.010
[SPEAKER_03]: What did I miss in the pitch, Olivia?

02:36.682 --> 02:37.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, no.

02:37.304 --> 02:39.430
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you got it pretty spot on.

02:39.470 --> 02:46.590
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the, um, I guess the only thing that I add to the pitch is that, you know, she's going to her college reunion, her 20 year college reunion.

02:47.161 --> 02:54.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so you missed my opportunity to make a joke about the character being 42 and where did that come from?

02:56.072 --> 02:59.537
[SPEAKER_01]: But that joke is a little tired, this fight, so it probably better.

02:59.997 --> 03:12.193
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, she goes to her 20-year college reunion and the only reason she decides to go, because she's so down on herself, um, is because she thinks that she got this anonymous love note from a guy that broke up with her sophomore year.

03:12.353 --> 03:14.356
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, this is the one that got away.

03:14.516 --> 03:16.138
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to go back and, you know,

03:16.490 --> 03:19.473
[SPEAKER_01]: go to our reunion and try to win this guy back.

03:20.293 --> 03:30.503
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not going to go as disastrous, and so that's when she's given the opportunity to go back to the year 2003, which it's funny.

03:30.523 --> 03:43.915
[SPEAKER_01]: It was not a year that I really thought too much about until I wrote this book, and I've just become immersed in all things 2003 at this point, which was actually kind of an interesting time now looking back.

03:43.895 --> 03:57.159
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, that's what the book is about, and it is a queer rom-com, which is another important point about the book, and it was inspired by my own college experience.

03:57.179 --> 04:05.453
[SPEAKER_01]: I went to Oberlin, and if you know anything about Oberlin, I don't think you can, I don't think they allow you to graduate without having some sort of gay experience there.

04:05.473 --> 04:06.375
[SPEAKER_01]: I think about it.

04:06.355 --> 04:08.319
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a free requisite, yeah.

04:08.779 --> 04:10.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's part of the core curriculum.

04:11.444 --> 04:15.431
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have to check that box.

04:15.912 --> 04:28.515
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I had some experiences there that I loved it, but at the time, I didn't understand that you can be a queer person without having to change your identity.

04:29.339 --> 04:34.671
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I didn't know what to do with any of the feelings that I had, so I just kind of ignored them.

04:34.691 --> 04:42.788
[SPEAKER_01]: It was my excuse to say that it was a different time, but also as you can tell from the character of Rachel Del Rio, I am a little bit critical of myself at the time.

04:42.808 --> 04:49.002
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I, I, I, she's, she's not the most likable character in the beginning, but she then becomes one.

04:49.437 --> 05:04.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I always looked back at that time in my life and thought, well, what if I had done things differently and made other choices and I think, you know, we all have what ifs and I think that part of the story is what this was this one was a really easy pitch.

05:04.810 --> 05:08.055
[SPEAKER_01]: this guy, you know, just kind of like picked up from the log line type of thing.

05:08.837 --> 05:17.831
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that that's why, because we all have these what ifs in our lives and what if we did get the chance to go back and fix these things knowing what we know now.

05:18.592 --> 05:20.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Just going back to go back, we probably screwed up all over again.

05:21.157 --> 05:23.781
[SPEAKER_01]: But if we go back now, we get to screw it up in a different way.

05:24.001 --> 05:26.886
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the story there.

05:28.047 --> 05:31.242
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a it's such a lovely touching story.

05:31.343 --> 05:35.965
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, I love the ending, you know, sometimes you have these like great ideas, but sometimes the ending

05:36.181 --> 06:00.653
[SPEAKER_02]: it's such a fantastic ending full of hope which is always nice so what I am applied by cheer you up a little bit so I apologize for putting extra pressure on you but I really did after I read this I felt great I felt like oh you know what you know it just it filled me with hope so I really appreciate a book like that and

06:00.633 --> 06:08.084
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, whether it's 2003 or now it was nice to kind of read something and kind of walk away being like, all right, all right, you know.

06:08.865 --> 06:12.070
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, probably a little better than you might have felt after reading Kill Train.

06:13.572 --> 06:15.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that had a good listening ending, too.

06:15.916 --> 06:21.885
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think you guys, oh my god, putting me on the top 15, that was like, what an honor, really.

06:21.925 --> 06:22.906
[SPEAKER_01]: And I got lots of stuff.

06:22.926 --> 06:24.008
[SPEAKER_02]: You did all the work.

06:24.140 --> 06:26.483
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I did not do all the work.

06:26.543 --> 06:33.833
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I did a lot of work on that book, but you know, it's one of the things I love so much about comics is that it really is, it's such a joint effort.

06:33.853 --> 06:43.245
[SPEAKER_01]: And so many people, it's so much love into that book, so much love, in fact, that it has done so well that we're now working on volume two.

06:43.225 --> 06:59.243
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah yeah thank you so much sorry not to swear too much but just to stay on the kill train thing for volume two what could you tell us about that

06:59.932 --> 07:07.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, let's see, I mean, I honestly, I don't even know if I can tell you that we're working on it, so I think we don't want to get too in trouble.

07:07.662 --> 07:08.223
[SPEAKER_01]: It's okay.

07:08.323 --> 07:09.404
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't gotten in trouble yet.

07:09.565 --> 07:11.167
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's, I think it's all right.

07:11.767 --> 07:15.793
[SPEAKER_01]: The folks over at Madcave are like basically my family at this point.

07:15.953 --> 07:18.036
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they get mad at me, they get mad at me.

07:18.096 --> 07:18.636
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll get mad at me.

07:18.656 --> 07:20.479
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll get over it.

07:21.480 --> 07:29.010
[SPEAKER_01]: So what I can tell you about Kiltrain Volume 2, I'll tell you that she is a fugitive.

07:29.885 --> 07:30.448
[SPEAKER_01]: at this point.

07:31.353 --> 07:32.338
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where the book starts.

07:33.002 --> 07:34.832
[SPEAKER_01]: And it actually starts the day after.

07:35.167 --> 07:41.195
[SPEAKER_01]: So overnight things have kind of exploded for Vanessa.

07:41.275 --> 07:42.517
[SPEAKER_01]: She is literally all over the news.

07:42.537 --> 07:43.438
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a bounty on her head.

07:44.119 --> 07:48.785
[SPEAKER_01]: And she has to, she has to get out of New York City.

07:48.965 --> 07:51.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And particularly because she has to get away from her daughter.

07:51.989 --> 08:00.060
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the threat is now that anyone who survives a kill train is that the, it's going to be corrected is what they're saying.

08:00.040 --> 08:05.944
[SPEAKER_01]: And what they know that Vanessa survived the kill chamber, what they don't know is that K was also on the train with her.

08:05.964 --> 08:10.000
[SPEAKER_01]: So she has to get out of the city and get away from her daughter so she doesn't incriminate her.

08:10.469 --> 08:16.419
[SPEAKER_01]: And so what's the best way to get out of New York City?

08:16.459 --> 08:18.963
[SPEAKER_01]: The Metro North Train.

08:23.029 --> 08:26.415
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can imagine what happens there.

08:26.495 --> 08:31.363
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, there's the other thing that I will tell you is that

08:31.343 --> 08:33.427
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is, it's my favorite page to far.

08:33.467 --> 08:37.675
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm only two volumes in as far as the writing goes.

08:37.795 --> 08:48.234
[SPEAKER_01]: But I will say that in volume one, I took full advantage of the beautiful scenic backdrop of Grand Central Station.

08:48.254 --> 08:48.795
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um,

08:49.265 --> 08:52.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you have a nice scene to look forward to there.

08:52.611 --> 08:55.976
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, so that's Kiltrane Volume 2.

08:56.117 --> 09:00.123
[SPEAKER_01]: What I'll tell you about now, and I just, I love it.

09:00.264 --> 09:05.873
[SPEAKER_01]: If that book gives me so much opportunity to really, really dig into,

09:06.393 --> 09:17.216
[SPEAKER_01]: at some like really human but also some like very very female centric issues that I've never really been able to talk about before in any other format and it's it's great.

09:17.878 --> 09:24.672
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know the first book had a lot to do with you know Vanessa dealing with a lot it's like death by a thousand cuts.

09:24.652 --> 09:44.837
[SPEAKER_01]: right she all of these things have been said to her that she's internalized and she's sorting through all of that it's not one big you know tumultuous traumatic thing that happened to her it's all these little things that deteriorated her sense of self worth because I feel like so often we don't recognize our own trauma because it wasn't some big thing it was all these little things.

09:45.593 --> 09:53.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and then, you know, so, but it was, it's still kind of external, which she had to overcome with how other people made her feel and to feel big in spite of that.

09:54.406 --> 10:03.198
[SPEAKER_01]: But in this book, which she's dealing with is things she's actually done, because the city is, is dredging up her past to make her a person and I'm Grada in New York City.

10:04.020 --> 10:06.303
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and the things that they dug up her true.

10:06.483 --> 10:14.655
[SPEAKER_01]: So how, she's, she's faced her present insecurities, but how do you actually face the past and the actual wrongs that you've done?

10:15.361 --> 10:23.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so that's that's the emotional crux of, of the film trailer because as you guys know, like it's there's it's a it's a very emotional He drivins.

10:23.297 --> 10:37.605
[SPEAKER_03]: It's probably the most character driven thing ever considering how much like blood and guts there is So, but then also I'll mention just for to back it up a little bit for anybody who hasn't read the book the short pitch for this one is that to do overpopulation every once in a while

10:37.585 --> 10:48.479
[SPEAKER_03]: One random subway train everybody is killed by psychotic killers and there's a woman who's like forgets her metro card And it's like finally just had a kill train.

10:48.499 --> 10:58.091
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not going to be a big deal And one of the things that we talked about a lot when we were talking about this book We heard from other people outside of the art being like that's a crazy premise.

10:58.111 --> 11:04.639
[SPEAKER_03]: That would never happen But I would tell you as somebody who lives in New York that is exactly exactly what you do

11:04.619 --> 11:05.200
[SPEAKER_03]: one of them.

11:05.220 --> 11:06.361
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much.

11:06.621 --> 11:26.765
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so funny because my I was talking my manager the other day because you know this is this is one of the projects that I want to develop for television and she said well you know we heard back from some executives Like they would just never get on a train like that if there was any possibilities and I'm like you don't know New York.

11:26.885 --> 11:27.526
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know.

11:27.586 --> 11:28.167
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

11:28.187 --> 11:32.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I also you know listen it's an absurd book

11:32.412 --> 11:34.034
[SPEAKER_01]: the premises absurd.

11:34.134 --> 11:35.436
[SPEAKER_01]: It came to me in a nightmare.

11:35.496 --> 11:36.457
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a nightmare that I had.

11:37.399 --> 11:41.163
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I thought was so funny about it is that it is so true though.

11:41.183 --> 11:46.190
[SPEAKER_01]: If there was only like, okay, so in kill train, it's one out of every 10,000 trains, right?

11:47.051 --> 11:52.719
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's literally like a 0.001% chance that it's going to be you.

11:53.379 --> 11:55.242
[SPEAKER_01]: I know New Yorkers, I am a New Yorker myself.

11:55.422 --> 11:56.884
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sitting in Brooklyn right now.

11:57.337 --> 12:05.969
[SPEAKER_01]: you would totally take the train, that's the same percentage chance of you getting walking at the front door and getting hit by a truck.

12:06.990 --> 12:12.738
[SPEAKER_01]: So yes, it is an absurd premise, but the idea that no one would take the train because of that.

12:12.819 --> 12:17.505
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we, if I don't know if you like grew up in New York City or not.

12:17.975 --> 12:23.020
[SPEAKER_01]: But you, there's always a chance if you're dying on the drain.

12:23.040 --> 12:29.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought I was smart when I'd be like, oh, there's a clearly crazy person in that train car.

12:29.887 --> 12:31.729
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll just move one train car over.

12:31.769 --> 12:32.350
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be safe.

12:33.070 --> 12:34.152
[SPEAKER_02]: I just have one in the straining.

12:34.172 --> 12:34.992
[SPEAKER_01]: I've done that so many times.

12:35.012 --> 12:37.135
[SPEAKER_01]: This key report is that happened to me once.

12:37.215 --> 12:40.238
[SPEAKER_01]: And I moved into the next train, the train was empty for some reason.

12:40.278 --> 12:43.341
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was like me and one other girlfriend that finally were teenagers.

12:43.321 --> 13:00.672
[SPEAKER_01]: and there was a guy who was, he wasn't like coming after us but he was doing something quite rude that we didn't like quite get it first and then all of a sudden we were like oh my god we went to the next train car which was totally empty and it was the first train car there was nowhere else to go oh all of us in there

13:00.652 --> 13:06.826
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have no idea how we coordinated this, but we've both like we just have like this mental meeting of the minds.

13:06.907 --> 13:11.016
[SPEAKER_01]: No words were said, we got off at the next stop, we faked getting off the train.

13:11.136 --> 13:14.765
[SPEAKER_01]: So he got off back on and to go and left him there.

13:15.406 --> 13:15.647
[SPEAKER_06]: Nice.

13:15.667 --> 13:18.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, that's what you're so serious about right there.

13:19.214 --> 13:22.622
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, the, you know, kill train, it's definitely an absurd premise.

13:22.642 --> 13:33.608
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's, it's to me, it's actually kind of less absurd than squid game, though, yeah, but by the same token, you know, then I kind of look at what's going on in the world right now in this country.

13:33.648 --> 13:34.911
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like,

13:36.713 --> 13:41.179
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not so crazy, but something like this could happen one day.

13:41.199 --> 13:43.622
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're living in very, very uncertain times.

13:44.503 --> 13:57.760
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have a feeling that that's part of the reason why the book did as well as it did is that it's like, it's kind of like, when you watch Handmaid's Tale, it's like, this is crazy, is it?

13:58.263 --> 14:08.610
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean that was my feeling reading it and I think that's the reason we resonated so hard with the book is

14:08.877 --> 14:23.663
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably too generous to be like it's one degree off the world, but it's definitely like it's close enough When it feels like yeah, I hope we don't end up with that, but maybe we could not it not in Mamdanese You're gonna see lips, right?

14:23.883 --> 14:25.706
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like the best horror anyway.

14:25.887 --> 14:34.041
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, it's far enough away that I'm not so that I can involve myself in the story and not feel directly impacted, but it's all so close enough of them.

14:34.021 --> 14:35.683
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's where the fun is.

14:35.863 --> 14:38.426
[SPEAKER_01]: But also, yeah, it's totally an absurd premise.

14:39.207 --> 14:44.513
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, the using the illustrations is told it's over the top go on.

14:45.514 --> 14:50.520
[SPEAKER_01]: But within that is couched a very, very real human story.

14:50.640 --> 14:57.328
[SPEAKER_01]: And I made this kind of like tacit promise to all my readers when I wrote that book that I would always be honest with it.

14:58.186 --> 15:02.052
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm continuing that with the second book.

15:02.152 --> 15:03.875
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's the red kill train.

15:03.915 --> 15:05.177
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always going to be personal.

15:05.317 --> 15:11.226
[SPEAKER_01]: You will always get a very, very real take on whatever is that I'm dealing with at the moment for better or worse.

15:11.907 --> 15:18.658
[SPEAKER_01]: And you will get lots of blood guts and fun kills and gore and a lot of people will die.

15:19.178 --> 15:29.442
[SPEAKER_02]: well that's that's exciting we cannot wait for that but you know you kind of you talk a little bit about you know working with somebody and and the kind of team work and

15:29.624 --> 15:31.167
[SPEAKER_02]: and coming up with something together.

15:31.227 --> 15:34.734
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there was so much gore in a kill train.

15:35.496 --> 15:38.922
[SPEAKER_02]: College try, the art, there's humor.

15:38.982 --> 15:41.908
[SPEAKER_02]: There's, you know, the art is providing jokes.

15:42.249 --> 15:48.601
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, there's, it's such a fun twist and it's its own language.

15:49.784 --> 15:51.447
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it different?

15:51.427 --> 15:58.657
[SPEAKER_02]: cooler, we're working with like comedy, art versus like gory art, talk a little bit about the teamwork there.

15:58.797 --> 16:05.426
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was really interesting, is that these artists that I have worked with are so insanely adaptable.

16:05.727 --> 16:11.835
[SPEAKER_01]: So Roberta and Granada, I mean, she's done all sorts of books at this point.

16:12.376 --> 16:16.361
[SPEAKER_01]: The last book we did together was the last one I talked to you guys about, which was Jill and the killers.

16:16.622 --> 16:20.607
[SPEAKER_01]: We found one together and then we just did the colors try as well.

16:20.587 --> 16:23.814
[SPEAKER_01]: So the college try in some ways was even like a harder lean into comedy.

16:23.874 --> 16:37.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Jill and the killers is like thriller comedy but um or you know it's a thriller with levity and it's uh teenagers but this one was much more of a straight comedy and uh I'm just um I'm so impressed.

16:37.512 --> 16:45.768
[SPEAKER_01]: with the way that it's so silly to ever pigeonhole an artist ever and to say like, oh, they're like, they're a horror illustrator.

16:45.888 --> 16:46.409
[SPEAKER_01]: They're that.

16:47.792 --> 16:52.341
[SPEAKER_01]: The people that have, you know, survived in this industry and continue working regularly.

16:52.381 --> 16:53.423
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a reason for that.

16:53.644 --> 16:56.048
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just think she's absolutely brilliant.

16:56.068 --> 16:57.411
[SPEAKER_01]: She's also become

16:57.391 --> 17:00.758
[SPEAKER_01]: We've never met in person and she's one of my closest friends in this business.

17:00.938 --> 17:02.241
[SPEAKER_01]: I just just adore her.

17:02.802 --> 17:06.549
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, we, I mean, at this point we kind of speak our own language.

17:06.569 --> 17:08.934
[SPEAKER_01]: She completely understands my notes.

17:09.836 --> 17:13.363
[SPEAKER_01]: I very rarely have to give very many.

17:13.383 --> 17:18.353
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, she really is able to decipher my

17:18.333 --> 17:24.144
[SPEAKER_01]: My, you know, it sequences the way that I write the way that I describe things and bring it to life on the page.

17:24.745 --> 17:30.216
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think she's also like keenly aware that all of my, a lot of my protagonists are inspired by me.

17:30.717 --> 17:32.300
[SPEAKER_01]: Rachel looks so much like me.

17:32.741 --> 17:33.062
[SPEAKER_01]: She does.

17:33.082 --> 17:35.787
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, I almost said something about it.

17:35.807 --> 17:37.470
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, no, you know what it's cool.

17:37.490 --> 17:39.213
[SPEAKER_01]: It's cool.

17:39.233 --> 17:39.514
[UNKNOWN]: It's about it.

17:39.494 --> 17:56.488
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete mentioned comedy a little bit, your main character is a stand-up comic, which I feel like is giving you a certain level of difficulty, or at least raising the level of difficulty, because it doesn't just have to be funny, it's a character that also has to purposefully be funny.

17:56.989 --> 17:58.250
[SPEAKER_03]: So how did you tackle that?

17:58.390 --> 17:59.351
[SPEAKER_03]: What was that challenge like?

17:59.371 --> 18:02.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a stupid thing to do.

18:02.654 --> 18:05.096
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a real dumb.

18:05.696 --> 18:09.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Because, yeah, if the jokes didn't land,

18:09.059 --> 18:17.073
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, there's only a few moments where she's on, but one of them had to be in the beginning, right?

18:17.213 --> 18:19.157
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to get a sense of her right away.

18:20.039 --> 18:25.408
[SPEAKER_01]: And I put myself in the hands of something very silly.

18:26.230 --> 18:29.676
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's legal where I'm sitting.

18:29.756 --> 18:32.721
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I usually take a weed gummy before I go to bed at night.

18:33.190 --> 18:36.656
[SPEAKER_01]: And like meet you like an hour or so and then I'll go to sleep.

18:37.397 --> 18:42.605
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's always in those moments, you know, you're laying in bed and you're a little bit stoned where ideas come to you.

18:42.705 --> 18:49.136
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I love about my love my dog always that he really wants me to pay attention to him.

18:49.396 --> 18:54.945
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's going to go through my stuff.

18:55.280 --> 18:55.641
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

18:56.201 --> 18:57.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, can you chill out?

18:58.485 --> 19:10.122
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, that's when ideas come to you and what I love about THC in those moments is that you're less inhibited, your inner critic is less vocal.

19:10.984 --> 19:17.794
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, that whole riff that she goes on about like the mini golf courses,

19:18.500 --> 19:23.329
[SPEAKER_01]: how they're all old, like even the new ones, they're just old, they all seem old.

19:23.549 --> 19:27.035
[SPEAKER_01]: You've never, I guarantee you've never been to a new mini golf course.

19:28.177 --> 19:41.200
[SPEAKER_01]: And it struck me that they'd always been old, and I just remember like laying in bed laughing so hard at this stupid idealization that I had, that all, all of these mini golf courses are ancient.

19:41.180 --> 19:44.063
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I thought I trusted that.

19:44.184 --> 19:50.050
[SPEAKER_01]: I trusted the fact that this thing that I noticed because observational comedy is always the funniest time.

19:50.071 --> 19:54.155
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, oh my god, you're so right, like I have experienced that too.

19:56.078 --> 19:59.522
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just tried to trust those moments.

20:00.102 --> 20:10.815
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, it's tough, you know, the scene where she's making fun of the banner, like I read it over and I still don't know

20:11.099 --> 20:15.165
[SPEAKER_01]: like a very, you know, like an actually legitimately funny stand-up comedian.

20:16.087 --> 20:23.798
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, it was important to me to at least take a crack at it because in my early 20s, actually, one of my first jobs in LA, I worked at the last factory.

20:24.419 --> 20:24.820
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, wow.

20:25.240 --> 20:29.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and so I was like, I was there all the time.

20:29.066 --> 20:32.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I served Richard Jenny, his last birthday cake.

20:33.012 --> 20:40.363
[SPEAKER_01]: I used to hang out with Jay Moore and Jay Davis

20:40.580 --> 20:45.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, gosh, what was the guy that this is like, this is so sad that I'm forgetting.

20:45.567 --> 20:46.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Dane Cook.

20:46.328 --> 20:48.691
[SPEAKER_01]: I was snubbed by Dane Cook.

20:49.072 --> 20:49.452
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all right.

20:49.472 --> 20:50.634
[SPEAKER_03]: You just snubbed him back.

20:50.694 --> 20:51.235
[SPEAKER_03]: So there you go.

20:51.255 --> 20:52.877
[SPEAKER_01]: I know because I forgot his name of.

20:52.897 --> 20:56.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you know, so I was, I was inundated with that.

20:56.762 --> 20:58.585
[SPEAKER_01]: And at the time, I tried to stand up myself.

20:58.625 --> 21:02.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was really fun, but that, like, had too much going on to, to keep up with it.

21:02.315 --> 21:06.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but it's a it's a fun world and I wanted to try and tap into it.

21:06.741 --> 21:10.386
[SPEAKER_01]: I think also, you know, what they were able to do with the show hacks.

21:10.406 --> 21:12.369
[SPEAKER_01]: I was so impressed with me.

21:13.130 --> 21:18.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I mean, talk about a difficult the and the jokes always lands.

21:19.139 --> 21:19.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

21:19.559 --> 21:21.121
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why that's gonna crack at it.

21:21.141 --> 21:27.310
[SPEAKER_01]: So listen, I don't know if I pulled it off, but that's this is, this is my favorite thing about mad cave studios.

21:27.290 --> 21:49.433
[SPEAKER_01]: is they give artists a shot at it and they're very they're very encouraging and so yeah maybe I pulled it off maybe I didn't I I don't think no reviews have come out yet we'll see I'm sure that people will let me know you love it honey but yes you're right it's a it's a stupid thing to do as a writer but I wanted the challenge

21:49.413 --> 22:00.212
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, one thing that I do think you really nailed for sure that you're mentioning earlier is a very specific type of queer coming out story or queer love story at the very least.

22:01.154 --> 22:09.368
[SPEAKER_03]: For an age group that doesn't normally get those sort of stories, you know, you usually see a queer coming out queer love story for teens.

22:09.388 --> 22:11.472
[SPEAKER_03]: There's lots of those and that's awesome.

22:11.452 --> 22:23.819
[SPEAKER_03]: There are a couple of others peppered throughout there, but you're telling a story both in sophomore year of college that also at age 42, I mean, I think I don't why, but like why was that important?

22:25.643 --> 22:29.832
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, I had no idea that I would actually be 42 in this book came out.

22:29.879 --> 22:38.151
[SPEAKER_01]: I also had no idea that I would be embarking on my life as a queer woman at this age.

22:39.113 --> 22:40.996
[SPEAKER_01]: This is all very, very serendipitous.

22:41.256 --> 22:44.621
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, obviously, you know, I told you my college story.

22:44.641 --> 22:49.428
[SPEAKER_01]: It was always something that was in the back of my mind, but I have led most of my life to straight women.

22:49.649 --> 22:51.972
[SPEAKER_01]: That ended over the summer.

22:52.323 --> 23:00.030
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's all just very, very coincidental that this book is coming out at the exact same time, I guess, I am.

23:01.892 --> 23:07.737
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, so that's, but I, something that I have noticed.

23:07.897 --> 23:20.929
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was, I was actually kind of worried when, you know, I moved back to New York City, and I decided to enter the field, you know, female queer community, found this WhatsApp group.

23:21.213 --> 23:24.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's like 2,000 members, it is insane, by the way.

23:25.239 --> 23:29.727
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was a little concerned that kind of introducing myself as someone who had lived my life as a straight woman.

23:29.807 --> 23:38.361
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've been married twice, uh, uh, and I was worried that I would be looked down on.

23:38.381 --> 23:46.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I found so many women, my age with my exact same story.

23:46.273 --> 23:47.355
[SPEAKER_06]: That's great.

23:47.403 --> 23:51.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So there is something about this age.

23:51.748 --> 23:59.315
[SPEAKER_01]: I think also coming out of the pandemic, that seemed to have haze to the decline of a lot of marriages.

24:00.016 --> 24:08.185
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have a lot of women, my age, who are re-entering the world single and making different choices.

24:08.245 --> 24:14.271
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know what's in the water, but it seems like we're all kind of making the same one.

24:15.061 --> 24:18.847
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so interesting how the zeitgeist works.

24:19.669 --> 24:23.535
[SPEAKER_01]: There is, sometimes there's just something in the ether.

24:23.575 --> 24:28.122
[SPEAKER_01]: And now my book seems to be a part of that, but it was kind of accidental.

24:28.583 --> 24:30.727
[SPEAKER_01]: I told the story because I needed to.

24:30.747 --> 24:37.778
[SPEAKER_01]: I think because I spent a lot of time not talking about how much I was wishing I had a girlfriend.

24:39.766 --> 24:54.124
[SPEAKER_01]: And those fantasies manifest for me into my work always, and it just so happens that it looks like that I was not alone in that fantasy and that a lot of them in my age group.

24:54.164 --> 25:01.774
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think a big part of it is because, you know, when we were in our 20s,

25:02.598 --> 25:04.200
[SPEAKER_01]: queer culture was very different.

25:04.260 --> 25:08.306
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm coming, you know, I have a liberal New York City background.

25:08.386 --> 25:10.389
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like I was surrounded by bigots or anything.

25:10.429 --> 25:11.110
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't that.

25:11.210 --> 25:13.093
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just a really felt at the time.

25:13.573 --> 25:14.975
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you were all in or all out.

25:15.075 --> 25:17.739
[SPEAKER_01]: You were either all gay or you were all straight.

25:17.980 --> 25:20.363
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you were all gay, you had a coming out party.

25:20.443 --> 25:23.307
[SPEAKER_01]: And it felt like there was no going back.

25:23.287 --> 25:27.593
[SPEAKER_01]: And at the time, in my early twice, I wasn't ready to make that decision yet.

25:27.613 --> 25:33.702
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't ready to say, I'm all gay or I'm all straight or whatever, but you know, straight is the default.

25:34.403 --> 25:37.488
[SPEAKER_01]: And as long as you're hanging with dudes, you don't have to really make a choice.

25:38.469 --> 25:40.973
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was more comfortable at the time.

25:41.233 --> 25:48.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I, again, I didn't know like, and for whatever reason it seemed horrible to like say that I was gay and then ever be with a guy again.

25:48.764 --> 25:49.305
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know it.

25:49.385 --> 25:50.547
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like some sort of a betrayal.

25:50.587 --> 25:52.129
[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like something you couldn't do.

25:52.582 --> 26:11.049
[SPEAKER_01]: So now, we're entering into this arena of extreme, not just sexual fluidity, but also ideological fluidity, how you identify can be fluid, and it can change, and we are allowing for that.

26:11.690 --> 26:18.180
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's also the component of just maturing as a human being and realizing like, at the end of the day, I don't really give a shit what anyone else thinks.

26:18.961 --> 26:21.525
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the gift that 40 gives you, it's like,

26:22.282 --> 26:24.205
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god, fuck off.

26:24.225 --> 26:35.662
[SPEAKER_01]: And what's so lovely about it is that I did come out in my own way and no one, there was no reaction.

26:35.702 --> 26:37.605
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like the best possible thing ever.

26:37.925 --> 26:40.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that that could have been true back in 2003.

26:41.891 --> 26:51.445
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and it was interesting, there was, I think, Curkess did a little write-up of the

26:51.425 --> 26:53.667
[SPEAKER_01]: So the older audience, then teens.

26:53.727 --> 26:55.650
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that that's true of the college try.

26:56.390 --> 27:15.711
[SPEAKER_01]: It really is written for us to look back and reflect and have a little bit of fun with the fact that we all have like T9 texting and like you know, thought that when George W. Bush was elected for those of us that are Democrats, we thought that was the end of the world.

27:15.843 --> 27:17.927
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we have no idea.

27:19.009 --> 27:22.816
[SPEAKER_03]: Not to judge you, but I think conversely, I think that's very true.

27:22.876 --> 27:28.467
[SPEAKER_03]: Like reading this book, it definitely felt like from the 42 perspective because we have the characters 42 looking back.

27:28.507 --> 27:36.743
[SPEAKER_03]: But at the same time, I have to imagine if you are in college and you don't feel like you're fully formed yet, you don't know exactly what's going on.

27:36.783 --> 27:38.847
[SPEAKER_03]: Reading this, knowing...

27:38.827 --> 27:40.089
[SPEAKER_03]: you don't have to know right now.

27:40.450 --> 27:44.215
[SPEAKER_03]: You can maybe take the next 20 years and figure it out and that's okay.

27:44.416 --> 27:45.958
[SPEAKER_03]: That's that's good too.

27:47.020 --> 27:48.482
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so glad to hear you say that.

27:48.782 --> 28:05.188
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah and it was that was also some of the conversations that Rachel has with Kelsey, the character who in the present day committed suicide and she goes back and has a lot of

28:05.168 --> 28:07.773
[SPEAKER_01]: Those scenes were really, really fun to write.

28:07.994 --> 28:23.083
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if you could go back as a 20-something into your 20-something friend group and hear their problems again, I don't know if you ever have like friends confide in you back in the day and you sit from the standpoint, you think, oh my God, what did I say to them?

28:23.564 --> 28:26.991
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, how you could have helped them now?

28:26.971 --> 28:29.922
[SPEAKER_01]: with with with the knowledge that you have.

28:30.765 --> 28:33.756
[SPEAKER_01]: It's those scenes were great to write.

28:33.777 --> 28:34.519
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also a mom.

28:34.560 --> 28:36.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I have two kids and so I'm like

28:36.674 --> 29:03.441
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm always imparting like way too much, like my daughter's like mom, I'm 11, like I haven't dull with any shit yet, but yeah, those scenes were, those scenes were really, really nice to write and just the idea that, you know, even at 42, they're still growing up to do.

29:03.607 --> 29:16.294
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, before we start to wrap up here, we talked about Kiltrane volume two, we talked obviously about the college try, is there anything else you want to plug anything else pushing?

29:16.314 --> 29:17.136
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.

29:17.156 --> 29:21.666
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we have the third volume of Faith the Wingsaga, that's going to be coming out this year.

29:21.646 --> 29:22.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it has to.

29:23.831 --> 29:28.901
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think Kiltrane, the second one of Kiltrane also has to come out this year.

29:28.942 --> 29:33.271
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that's been hard and fast work.

29:33.571 --> 29:35.175
[SPEAKER_01]: So that book will be coming out as well.

29:35.676 --> 29:39.925
[SPEAKER_01]: I do have another project with Mad Cave Studios.

29:39.905 --> 29:42.652
[SPEAKER_01]: that's like completely unannounced in an entirely new concept.

29:42.692 --> 29:55.465
[SPEAKER_01]: So I probably shouldn't say too much about it, but I will say that it's like it's a horror and it's like it's an homage to those great kind of like 90s like really it doesn't take place nearly all the time from us.

29:55.565 --> 29:56.327
[SPEAKER_06]: Bye.

29:56.307 --> 30:07.359
[SPEAKER_01]: like films like Final Destination and like that kind of the fun grit but that like also takes itself a little too seriously, but in a fun way kind of kind of horrors.

30:08.480 --> 30:10.062
[SPEAKER_01]: That's coming down the pike as well.

30:10.422 --> 30:11.884
[SPEAKER_01]: That book apply to be coming out next year.

30:11.924 --> 30:19.412
[SPEAKER_01]: And I also in 2027 my first novel is coming out with Scholastic.

30:19.966 --> 30:28.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is, yeah, it's a YA thriller, so I get to kill a bunch of kids, a bunch of kids.

30:28.224 --> 30:35.018
[SPEAKER_01]: That scholastic told me, you can kill as many teenagers you want, I was like, right?

30:35.058 --> 30:35.920
[SPEAKER_06]: In the book, right?

30:36.702 --> 30:39.207
[SPEAKER_01]: In the book, yes.

30:39.389 --> 30:40.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, you know what they didn't specify.

30:41.012 --> 30:41.753
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow.

30:41.813 --> 30:42.394
[SPEAKER_01]: Go around.

30:42.975 --> 30:43.616
[SPEAKER_01]: Go crazy.

30:43.696 --> 30:44.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Go to the park.

30:44.558 --> 30:45.560
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really slippery.

30:45.720 --> 30:46.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Representation.

30:48.445 --> 30:50.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to need a whole team of lawyers for that one.

30:51.370 --> 30:57.340
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, and I'm making inroads with a lot of other publishers as well.

30:57.400 --> 31:02.950
[SPEAKER_01]: So there should be a lot coming down the pike from me.

31:03.270 --> 31:04.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not.

31:04.853 --> 31:06.435
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't intend on slowing down.

31:06.455 --> 31:12.582
[SPEAKER_01]: I might need to say, because also, like, 42, you kind of need to sleep.

31:13.864 --> 31:16.647
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very lame.

31:17.629 --> 31:18.449
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so lame.

31:18.570 --> 31:19.591
[SPEAKER_01]: It is so lame.

31:19.691 --> 31:25.478
[SPEAKER_01]: That is the lamest part about getting older as you need for sleep and not being able to get it.

31:25.458 --> 31:27.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no intention of slowing down.

31:27.300 --> 31:31.946
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I've had two books out a year for, I don't know, this is like going on three years now.

31:33.108 --> 31:39.476
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, hopefully I can keep up the pace and, you know, as long as you guys keep talking to me about it, I'll keep okay, right?

31:39.496 --> 31:40.357
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we'd love to.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly for the reasons you said.

43:10.017 --> 43:17.246
[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, it's like just keep up for the show because if you guys are talking about stuff, I'm still gonna need to talk about it in a week, a month, whatever.

43:57.863 --> 44:00.007
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, new romcoms come out all the time.

44:00.748 --> 44:01.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.

44:01.228 --> 44:02.691
[SPEAKER_03]: And one is coming out right now.

44:03.031 --> 44:04.253
[SPEAKER_02]: As we speak, yes.

44:04.334 --> 44:07.419
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's a, it's an ongoing list for sure.

44:07.499 --> 44:11.906
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, which I saw one, we're going to talk about.

44:11.946 --> 44:15.993
[SPEAKER_02]: We can geek and we'll talk about ones that I watched.

44:16.053 --> 44:18.757
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't, you know, but yeah, okay.

44:18.777 --> 44:21.762
[SPEAKER_03]: But favorite one, what's at the top of your list right now, Pete?

44:22.197 --> 44:27.244
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say number one currently is, you know, and whatever.

44:27.304 --> 44:30.369
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not, you know, it's almost like the godfather of romcom.

44:30.429 --> 44:32.712
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's, you know, it's the godfather of part two.

44:33.072 --> 44:35.155
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, the notebook, the notebook.

44:35.356 --> 44:35.816
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

44:37.138 --> 44:38.841
[SPEAKER_03]: My favorite romcom.

44:42.225 --> 44:42.366
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.

44:42.386 --> 44:43.047
[SPEAKER_03]: Groundhog Day?

44:43.167 --> 44:43.627
[SPEAKER_03]: Does that count?

44:44.168 --> 44:44.569
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

44:44.629 --> 44:46.872
[SPEAKER_02]: That's my number three right now.

44:46.902 --> 44:49.947
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know if that's my favorite, but it's first one that came to mind.

44:49.987 --> 44:50.809
[SPEAKER_03]: So, there.

44:50.869 --> 44:51.670
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

44:51.690 --> 44:56.799
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably because of the time travel thing, we were just talking about it.

44:56.819 --> 45:00.405
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll just say, like, Amber Love controversy says, that's not a comedy.

45:01.627 --> 45:01.887
[SPEAKER_03]: What?

45:02.608 --> 45:03.189
[SPEAKER_03]: The notebook.

45:03.710 --> 45:04.492
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you kidding me?

45:04.532 --> 45:10.101
[SPEAKER_02]: There's so many hilarious moments in, that's also very serious in sad moments, too.

45:10.241 --> 45:11.323
[SPEAKER_02]: But, uh,

45:11.573 --> 45:23.553
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's uh, when she kills over, uh, after she sees him in the newspaper, then it cuts to her in a full wedding dress in the bathtub drinking wine, that's funny.

45:24.134 --> 45:33.109
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not, you know, like, yes, the notebook is that, Amber Love, but I had some comical moments, um,

45:33.983 --> 45:35.466
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to put it under romcom.

45:36.327 --> 45:38.431
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to, I would don't want to fight you on this.

45:39.132 --> 45:40.975
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to follow up here from the greater good.

45:41.015 --> 45:43.058
[SPEAKER_03]: Where's Notting Hill on this?

45:43.078 --> 45:43.559
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's check.

45:43.800 --> 45:45.723
[SPEAKER_02]: Currently, Notting Hill is at number eight.

45:46.805 --> 45:47.165
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

45:47.406 --> 45:47.746
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

45:47.766 --> 45:49.409
[SPEAKER_03]: What about when Harry bet Sally?

45:49.449 --> 45:50.050
[SPEAKER_03]: This is for those.

45:50.070 --> 45:50.291
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

45:50.311 --> 45:51.152
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's check this there.

45:51.172 --> 45:51.533
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see.

45:51.593 --> 45:52.174
[SPEAKER_02]: Currently?

45:52.214 --> 45:53.336
[SPEAKER_02]: It's at 14.

45:53.456 --> 45:55.480
[SPEAKER_02]: 14.

45:55.840 --> 45:56.341
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

45:56.822 --> 45:57.022
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

45:57.082 --> 45:58.725
[SPEAKER_03]: That's wild.

45:59.245 --> 46:01.748
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd rated way higher than 14 personally.

46:02.068 --> 46:02.729
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you mean?

46:03.109 --> 46:05.992
[SPEAKER_03]: Love actually, very controversial in the modern era.

46:09.456 --> 46:11.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's currently not on the list.

46:12.779 --> 46:14.100
[SPEAKER_03]: That's probably the right call.

46:14.221 --> 46:20.887
[SPEAKER_03]: People have turned against that movie, but right now I got 21 on my list currently.

46:21.348 --> 46:21.828
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's good.

46:21.869 --> 46:24.291
[SPEAKER_03]: You want to do odd numbers, it makes the list more interesting.

46:25.722 --> 46:31.007
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, easy reader says, have you guys seen the new trailer for the Mandalorian and Groguer?

46:32.101 --> 47:01.467
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... yes uh... the half-time the full ball they released a new trailer to that's a take would you let me finish my sense i watched the teaser during the super ball and i was like is this a joke like what it made me upset so i was happy when the real thing came out and i was able to see like a real trailer that felt more in tone with the show that i was hoping to get so i'm i'm nervously excited about

47:01.447 --> 47:02.048
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing.

47:02.448 --> 47:07.633
[SPEAKER_03]: I will start with my negatives, which seems like a lot is going on in this movie.

47:07.693 --> 47:10.236
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot of explosions and different set pieces.

47:10.296 --> 47:11.777
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to a lot of places.

47:11.837 --> 47:15.661
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, the CGI doesn't look great.

47:15.821 --> 47:21.627
[SPEAKER_03]: I found it particularly annoying, like, what's the character Zebra Relius, the guy from Star Wars Rebels.

47:22.588 --> 47:25.191
[SPEAKER_03]: It may be missed just like, just people make up.

47:25.451 --> 47:26.953
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, that's what Star Wars is about.

47:26.993 --> 47:28.614
[SPEAKER_03]: Put them in makeup, put them in a mask.

47:28.674 --> 47:31.217
[SPEAKER_03]: It looks so much better than this weird.

47:31.400 --> 47:37.192
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you CGI animated thing and I know he's an animated character, but like get somebody to play him real, it's okay.

47:38.013 --> 47:45.148
[SPEAKER_03]: On the positive, baby Yoda is very cute and I would like to see his movie.

47:45.168 --> 47:51.180
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I think that's gonna win out at the end of the day.

47:51.160 --> 47:54.584
[SPEAKER_03]: because it's hard not to watch the scenes to be like, well, that's very cute.

47:57.748 --> 47:59.690
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying not to give into this cuteness.
