[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, welcome to the resistance.
[SPEAKER_03]: Comrade, the Devil wears Prada, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Question mark.
[SPEAKER_03]: I loved that ultimately the villain of this movie is Harvard MBAs and McKinsey Consultants.
[SPEAKER_03]: Love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, well, I saw the title of the Devil Wears Prada 2 and I got excited because I thought that we would get to talk about demons again But I just got out and this movie was just about clothes

[SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, full video episodes are available on medium-liter at YouTube channel.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I guess without further ado,
[SPEAKER_03]: Have fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, we're here with part two of Anne Hathaway Fortnite.
[SPEAKER_02]: The thrilling conclusion of Anne Hathaway Fortnite is... And we are so excited to be back with the next installment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is such a different type of movie.
[SPEAKER_03]: In every possible way, this is a different type of movie.
[SPEAKER_02]: For example, my theater was full.
[SPEAKER_02]: For example, people saw this one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's important.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, devil wears Prouda too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Before we get to the movie, I kind of want to know, what was your connection?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, did you have a connection to the original one?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, or any fun feeling?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just in the sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely found feelings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, God, what did it?
[SPEAKER_02]: When did it come out?
[SPEAKER_02]: 2005?
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe 2006, but let me double check because I don't want to lie on our podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was one of those.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so I was like...
[SPEAKER_02]: 10 or 11, which is like, of course, I loved it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then this is one of those movies that has always just been like 2006 confirmed by the way, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I've always just taken this movie as like,
[SPEAKER_02]: of a matter of course, like it's just always been there, yes, but not in like an old movie way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like in a, right around the age where I would have, you know, this would have been exciting to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: It came out and then we just continued through life together.
[SPEAKER_03]: So 2006 you were a child,
[SPEAKER_03]: Like middle school is your younger.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so bad at age year math.
[SPEAKER_03]: It would have been fifth grade or sixth grade.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's a sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably.
[SPEAKER_03]: Prime kid area.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And this seems really fun for a kid.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was thinking,
[SPEAKER_03]: I read the book in 2005 or something, before the movie came out, and I have to be honest, I know I've books behind me, I didn't always read books back in this era of my life.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm shocked that this is like one of the few I had read, um,
[SPEAKER_03]: So I had read the book and I was excited about the movie and I liked the movie, I am sort of feeling a little like this movie is like really specifically important to people exactly my age or two years older or young, like people kind of like around this, I'm 41, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: because I was the same age as the character Andy roughly.
[SPEAKER_03]: How old was she supposed to be in the first one?
[SPEAKER_03]: It just had a college, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: So like 22, 23, something like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Character of Andy was exactly my age.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like, you know,
[SPEAKER_03]: It just was like the I didn't go to college so like my time of life was like similar, but different, you know, but I think the her experience of the job market, which pertains to the new one,
[SPEAKER_00]: El Zermalaniol, I believe he is with some respect on the old Milaniol.
[SPEAKER_03]: On myself, but for the older movie, I actually think it came out at this point in time right before not all but most older millennial women.
[SPEAKER_03]: In this time, we're just starting to pretend not to like girly things to a wider degree.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think 2006, like by 2008, we're like all the cool girl.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, by 2011, we're living the mile-end kicks, you know, in the history dream.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, so, like, this is like one of the last pieces of like girly rom-com culture that got in before we all shut it down for, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And even then, Andy as a character is like, this is fucking dumb, you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: Totally.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the thing is that she's not cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's an important distinction.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's just a donard.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Emily's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just think that's really interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just feel like I'm hearing a lot of like women
[SPEAKER_03]: how much this movie means to them.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, why don't you try it?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm realizing that it like it just made its way in before we all started trying to be cool to our male peers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I feel like it's a movie geared towards women that was
[SPEAKER_02]: you know a huge movie and also like it's just so well written it's funny it's smart it's quite like it's a it's a it's a it's a classic it's just a really good movie and it's like totally there's there's a whole genre essentially that has been spawned from the devil wears prodo which is like underlying push together with the senior who they don't like at first
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that is a whole genre.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're so right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And women and women.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, the fact that they can turn is another one I'm thinking of.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whereas the reverse, which is also in half the way.
[SPEAKER_03]: so in half a way.
[SPEAKER_02]: I used to do joke about the intern, but now it's too old to do the joke, but I had a joke about how she gets in a the back of a car, Robert De Niro, and then he's like, you have a needle in today, have you?
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he hands her a bowl of soup, and then they're driving, they're driving through you.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's eating soup and a moving car.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he just has soup and McClump.
[SPEAKER_03]: He got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like I'm on a sandwich.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's so many things you could have handed her.
[SPEAKER_03]: Protein bars are really good for that type of situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a big open bowl of soup.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so, you know, I didn't, the original movie is not the one I thought about a ton in the years between earlier this year.
[SPEAKER_03]: I showed the original one to my husband because, you know, he needed to see the foundational texts.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he had never seen it.
[SPEAKER_03]: He had never seen it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, he liked it, but didn't have a strong opinion about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: The pies really stands out.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like breakneck pace.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just like this happened on this happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like kind of... You feel very like picked up and supported through the story.
[SPEAKER_03]: which is different from Mother Mary, huh?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, good to be more excited.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or they just, they just threw us in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just, they just threw us on the floor with one rattled blanket said here.
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, so your theater was full.
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you enjoy this movie?
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought, you know, real, real crowd pleaser.
[SPEAKER_02]: People in my theater were loving it.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were hood and they were hollerin.
[SPEAKER_02]: People are having reactions all different sorts of things.
[SPEAKER_02]: The people next to me could not handle when they'd go, go, go, show it up.
[SPEAKER_03]: They were so excited.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's really funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Heterosexual couple.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's really funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: The sometimes their monsters too, little monsters, what are her fans called?
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, I didn't, you know, surprise surprise, Northbrook Illinois didn't have a full theater, but it was Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_03]: There were a decent amount of people.
[SPEAKER_03]: There were definitely two absolute and no offense to these people, but absolute nurses sitting next to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I say that because they had evidence that that's what they were.
[SPEAKER_03]: They said it.
[SPEAKER_03]: They talked about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am grateful to the nurses who have helped me at the doctor, but I don't want to be sitting next to them in the movie!
[SPEAKER_03]: They were absolute nurses and they were talking, I mean they were specifically talking about their favorite kind of like travel tumblr like Stanley Cup type thing to bring to the hospital.
[SPEAKER_03]: Likely thing for nurses to be talking about?
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I know this because they didn't shut the fuck up for the whole movie, they talked to the whole movie and add full normal volume.
[SPEAKER_03]: outside of that experience and say outside of that experience which like yeah etiquette in places that are not coastal elite cities can sometimes be a little dead at the movies unless you're at an absolute cinephile location and I don't know do I surrender to that we'll talk about that later but um that was the big part of my the start of the movie
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean that's it's part of the experience because it's a big part of my head space But no hoot and hollerin a very polite little crowd, but um we me and Alex loved it We thought it was really fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no it was like so fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like okay
[SPEAKER_02]: As a standalone movie, it doesn't, like, like we're just talking like movies and like if a movie is is good sure it doesn't it's not even in the same realm as the first one right yeah you know, but in terms of being like just like a good movie
[SPEAKER_02]: But like a legacy sequel of like a beloved like classic modern classic isn't there are certain ways it has to be yeah to be
[SPEAKER_02]: what it's supposed to be and yeah it was very good in that sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was very satisfying which is like the main thing you want.
[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't feel like it was like in a totally different universe.
[SPEAKER_02]: It felt like everyone was like happy to be there.
[SPEAKER_03]: which is major and important I think in these also like this 20 years later legacy sequel of a of a hit movie almost impossible to nail like I have almost never seen this done correctly so the fact that it it was a pretty decent like crowd pleaser it was such a crowd pleaser
[SPEAKER_03]: I also, so my biggest takeaway from like the story they told in this movie, which is essentially a, where the first one was a, you know, young girl takes on the big city and the big job and like pursues her dreams type of story, was a, hey, didn't, didn't Millennials get fucked.
[SPEAKER_03]: with like their careers and like she is a victim of media consolidation I just was like oh well I was really impressed that that's what the story was about and that it was essentially a like millennial media career
[SPEAKER_03]: revenge fantasy story and that is really funny and interesting and cool and like meaty and like cool to think about but also if you are the nurses and you're just there to kind of like laugh and see some pretty dresses it wasn't preachy about what it was doing and so I'm genuinely impressed that it was able to be a cloud pleaser for like the
[SPEAKER_03]: the dorks, the like the dorks you want to like oh I really want to move you to make me think about stuff and the people who are like I am here to have a nice time rarely we we like the same movies me and those people but this worked yeah and that's why it's gonna make a billion dollars which I think I think I wanted to
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, like I feel like well, okay, one they are so lucky.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I guess they wouldn't have made it if this weren't the case, but like that all of their main people 20 years later are one alive to still
[SPEAKER_02]: working both at the at the level of starting they were at and in some cases they weren't just are and now they are a star like I'm a little like they are great they're all great actors they're so lucky that that was like their main cast yeah and then like
[SPEAKER_02]: At first, when I got out of it, I was like, okay, that movie was really fun, but it's like, it was interesting how sort of like toothless it was or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like a declawed version of the vibe of the original.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I was thinking about it, and it's like, it's not really because like, it does address something very real, which is like,
[SPEAKER_02]: the world that the first one was made it and the world this this one was made in magazines are a completely fucking different thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Vogue is a completely different thing and like so for for this one to be about yeah the danger of tech in creative spaces tech guys and creative spaces yeah is
[SPEAKER_02]: extremely relevant.
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, they were just like, this is like, without question bad, AI is bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I was like, okay, maybe it's not the movie was so too useless, but like Miranda feels very declawed.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then it's like that actually does make a lot of
[SPEAKER_02]: top of the mountain and now she's nobody in any sort of position with any sort of creative endeavor is the powerful one.
[SPEAKER_02]: The powerful ones are the tech billionaires.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah and that and that you know the Miranda character now
[SPEAKER_03]: would have to, she was still like a little rude, she was still a little whatever she was.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it felt very true to life that she would be, not necessarily trying to be better, but like trying, leaning on assistance and stuff to help her catch herself, if she's gonna say something wrong or like any of that stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, because she would have to, right now it's the thing where it's like,
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and that she would be in a position, and you know, I don't know anything about Anna Winter's situation, but, you know, that she would have to be in a position where she is, yeah, trying to play nice with these Spindless stupid tech people.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and it's like so
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like not toothless, but it's really, it's like wrapping the medicine in candy the way it's like, you know, she is talking about how like she's asking for a pledge to commit to like human artistry and skill in the magazine and like, and you know, the Jeff Bezos characters name, I don't even bend G something.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did think that character was pretty.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought he was quite funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was very funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: I also didn't, I did not know it was just in the row until like 90 minutes into the movie and I was like, wait.
[SPEAKER_03]: He looked bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait.
[SPEAKER_03]: Not my crush from when I was 20.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's happen to him.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what is another thing that I actually thought was kind of interesting about this movie.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not, I'm not personally a fashion girl.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I like style and I like getting dressed and like expressing myself with clothes.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't follow Vogue.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really follow any of that stuff at that level.
[SPEAKER_03]: So like, I don't consider myself someone who would like, anytime I have been presented with Anna Winter, my feeling, my gut feeling is always like, Yucky, don't like the wrong game, but not interested.
[SPEAKER_03]: And somehow this movie managed to really genuinely make a more compelling case than anything else ever has for why she matters in the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's an interesting thing I was like in the first one the big the big issue is sort of like Boss who is evil to employees, but employees who desperately want to be there, you know, right, and then this is much it's a much bigger, more existential issue, and but that's
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, like, how could you possibly do a movie about a magazine without addressing that, like, even the biggest magazine in the world is like, holding on by a fucking thread?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and that, you know, there's just, like, yeah, the media consolidation everywhere.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so all this was really a missing was like a sub-stack plot, somewhere.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, everyone's very focused on clicks, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click,
[SPEAKER_03]: I loved him and it reminded me of like, I found their dynamic together really charming and like cute and fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it reminded me of when we all met Chris O'Dowd and Brian.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like the same thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Poor and God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved that they didn't cast like a big stunty name.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm like so sick of British guys being cast as the love interest and that accent is supposed to be like short hand for like we're supposed to find them hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't fuck them.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't find them hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get out of here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so for the British, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: I was.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're actually a guy that I hooked up with for a few months in 2019 accidentally texted me today.
[SPEAKER_03]: Was he British?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that why that was British?
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was British.
[SPEAKER_02]: He had like just moves here and he was like, so everyone here is, it's circumcised.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they are.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not weird.
[SPEAKER_03]: How is this already come up for you?
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, I like that he was all straight.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did like that he was all straight on.
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, I really like because that was such a subplot.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, in the little screen time at God, it uh,
[SPEAKER_03]: I was rooting for it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Me too, and in fact, I only found Andy kind of rude in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like when they heard their moments when she was kind of rude, when they had their little fight, I was like, Andy, what are you talking to this nice man like this?
[SPEAKER_02]: She was being very rude, but she was like being rude in a way where I was like, in this situation I would probably also be being rude in that same way.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, you know, it was a real late of a way of being rude when you're like, world is falling apart.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because men are always doing that.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're always trying to like solve things that they can't solve.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I can't remember what he said.
[SPEAKER_03]: He like tried to give her advice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that what it was?
[SPEAKER_02]: He was like comparing it to like doing the apartments or something and then he was kind of like,
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I get that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you put it that way.
[SPEAKER_03]: Man.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked that she was single and childless.
[SPEAKER_03]: Me too.
[SPEAKER_03]: And also I love that lady who plays her best friend from Rhett.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I love her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just find her so comforting every time she's on.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's like really funny and like she says such a warm presence.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wish I saw her in more things, but maybe I'm just not seeing what she's in.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that she got a purse again.
[SPEAKER_02]: She got a purse again.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was so funny and that was like a great call of act of the first one and that and how the way had this like sweet relationship with her kid.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, which is just it just was so cute.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just loved it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I loved it so much.
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels very real too where it's not like she's like, man, I'm like, you know, it's not like, you know, a 90s childless single woman who is like, she's like, no, no, my friend who also has like,
[SPEAKER_02]: a cool demanding career as like a gallerist.
[SPEAKER_02]: She is a kid and I love her kid and I come out with them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and she's like sitting, she liked her editing, editing pieces.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, she's sitting with like a princess add-on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I really enjoyed all of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: The whole, so just in the row is supposed to be Jeff Bezos, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Which would make Emily Lauren Sanchez?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's really funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's I mean, it's really funny to make one of one of the legacy characters Lawrence and yeah, and then yeah Lucy Lou is a
[SPEAKER_02]: Mackenzie Bezos.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I did love that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alex wasn't tracking the Lucy Loosey Loose stuff, but really the second it was getting discussed that it was the company was going to be sold.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like yeah, Lucy Loosey Loose is going to save the day.
[SPEAKER_03]: She was obviously connecting with Miranda.
[SPEAKER_03]: We see.
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually didn't put that together, um, I guess like I wasn't thinking too hard.
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of turned my brain off a bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just like, do, do, do, do, do enjoy enjoying the ride.
[SPEAKER_03]: You were kind of, you were, uh, going nurse mode.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was going nurse mode.
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, I don't dislike nurses and I support you guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think your job actually is incredibly hard and tough, but you know, you as tend to want to turn out, you're brain-off at a movie because your brain has to be on in a different way anyway.
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I really, yeah, I was tracking the Lucy Lou thing for some reason immediately, but I also just like, it's so funny that this movie dealt with media consolidation and also the Bezos Sanchez family trying to buy their way into fashion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, totally.
[SPEAKER_03]: Which is like a big thing that gets talked about a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: I found it very funny, and so true, I mean the fact that Lauren Sanchez did get him to vote.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, so I like something this one, she didn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: In that way, this is sort of like a fashion version of one of those like Tarantino revisionist history.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes, it's very much.
[SPEAKER_03]: at the end of once upon a time and all of you were that was the Hitler-Win and Glorious Mass.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're rewriting history.
[SPEAKER_03]: Lauren Sanchez doesn't have anything to do with it.
[SPEAKER_03]: She was outsmarted.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like also
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, God.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I love Emily Blunt.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love her.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's been doing some slightly strange stuff to her face lately.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not tracking her too closely, but I feel like I've seen people
[SPEAKER_03]: Talk about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It can be undone.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just a little lay off the fillers a little, you know, so it's like to do in general I think it does make the most sense of you plan the the equivalent of the lady who's done too much to her face
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and to have her be like retail to have her kind of the way she I don't think she dressed poorly I mean Lauren Sanchez does dress poorly.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm yes really happy to say that on a on a public platform And I don't think that the Emily character like
[SPEAKER_03]: dressed poorly, but she didn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: She wasn't really that chic.
[SPEAKER_03]: It did feel very like, let's a logos trendy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it wasn't like, it just wasn't like Miranda.
[SPEAKER_03]: And to be honest, it wasn't like Andy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like even Andy, I think, had like a very clearly defined personal style.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Andy would be like shopping at the row.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Emily was just like,
[SPEAKER_02]: Logo, logo, logo, logo, logo, logo, logo.
[SPEAKER_02]: And let's see if it really is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's go, no, but I was so happy to see her.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love Emily Blunt so much, and I loved the little punchline of her working at Coach after her fall.
[SPEAKER_03]: That Alex laughed so loud at that joke.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, like, he really liked that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, okay, who taught you that?
[SPEAKER_03]: What's your algorithm doing?
[SPEAKER_03]: What did you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, her working at Coach was a very funny little thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: I also liked, in the end of the movie, the Serulean sweater.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's like, I had to return, but she cut the sleeves off.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was great.
[SPEAKER_03]: I also saw in the beginning, did you see in the beginning when she's walking to the office for the first time in this really in sweater scene in the original one, it starts with them trying to choose a belt, right, for that dress.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a vendor Andy walks by that's holding two belts up that look like the two belts and I was like, so fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Really cute guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's
[SPEAKER_03]: Really good, really cute, I like to propose, listen, all love to be Jay Novak, I think there could have been, he was fine, and that character is supposed to be Yucky.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanted someone else to be there, and I was trying to think of who,
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, Adam Scott comes to mind.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: Even Adam divine, I will tell you who I truly, a hundred percent wanted to be there and I know he would never say yes to it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is Jeremy Strong.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that would have been incredible.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he's willing to play another, like, nepofales son, yeah, but because that would be such a funny little thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like he's not great at having like a sense of humor about himself and his work.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he tells.
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, I write or die so hard for Jeremy Strong.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm here to say that my number one boy would have a sense of humor.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think, I mean, one, he's still filming, he's Mark Zuckerberg or something right now for the social network.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know this?
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: Social, the social reckoning is that the new one, the new social network
[SPEAKER_03]: He's filming, and he's stuck.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's Mark Zuckerberg.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to be really normal about it, I think.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, I know, I know that he wouldn't take.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that he does not want to play that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, you know, you do a an iconic character.
[SPEAKER_03]: You get offered the same type of character over and over.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think most actors are kind of like, he's, he's stopped.
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, this isn't like a particularly juicy role.
[SPEAKER_03]: But him and him have a way of friends.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Famously.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I've been really fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: It would have been extremely fun, but I honestly would have preferred anyone else, just because it's like, and it's again, it's not like he did a bad job.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't really want to see him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and you know, I, I,
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's funny because in a way he was essentially playing the type he plays in the office, which I think does work except there's like this slight inversion where it works in the office because he is a loser playing powerful.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think having actual power, like he knows that the type he plays is like unsettling like rich guy, yeah stuff,
[SPEAKER_03]: But if you give the character he plays really well, actual power, it's like two unsettling, it's like kind of like upsetting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think there's also just something about him where it's like, you know, there's so many like actors where if they show up in a bit role, you go, ah!
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, yay!
[SPEAKER_02]: I just viscerally have the opposite feeling with him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I wonder what it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: I kind of feel like way too, but I don't know why, and I like mean him no.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just that we know too much about him just like fucking 20 year olds and stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think I know that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so no, wasn't coming, you know, for me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the only thing I've known about him outside of just his, like the office and like writing stuff is that he did, he did stand up at the unerban open mic.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've personally been so did I, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, P on Irvin, I don't think it's closed down, but it's dead to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not trying to get scavies in my 30's.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I won, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: That was in Santa Monica, across the street from like a trainer Joe's.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's the one.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a lot of memories there, but it is a yucky place.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so gross.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I can't believe I like...
[SPEAKER_03]: Ascension.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: It never, never got any bugs or diseases.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, comedy open mics are never in, you know, clean places.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a particularly nasty, disgusting place.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, beauty, no vacuum used to do cotton there.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: there was one time I laughed it wasn't him actually doing anything it was just when like I forgot what the line was and then it pans over to him walking in and it's just like just like him being in like a performance fleece vest yeah like the absurdity of him in the space was kind of yeah yeah I mean they're like again that was the outfit that wasn't him that was the outfit I was like ha ha the vest is funny
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I think he's in on that character beat.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's probably playing.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, I just, I just wish it was someone else, but I could be more excited about.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I really think Adam Scott would have been really good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, because Adam Scott, Adam Scott playing evil, Adam Scott is really fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I also feel like this character was like,
[SPEAKER_02]: He almost, he wasn't like purposely evil.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it was like, you just had disgusting taste in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just like, that's why it, it almost needed to maybe be a guy who's like, personality wise is almost more likeable maybe because like, this guy's kind of like, you know,
[SPEAKER_02]: Jock, but not sporty like just doesn't get this stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's almost not like he's like, I am gonna get you Miranda.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's more just like, oh, this is an important to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't actually see why it matters that I would be cutting this budget.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is, which is many times the type of evil that these rich people are.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was talking Alex about this, and I said, John Ham, and he thinks he's too old.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think John Ham, a guy in his 50s, a dad in his 80s, dying, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I could see it working.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was almost thinking, like, is Adam Scott too old.
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The dad was like a very old man.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we're not going to solve this tonight.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would move on from the...
[SPEAKER_03]: From the Recaps.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get to the bottom of this.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll find the perfect man who should have been DJ NoFaxed mine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Our role of the devil.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where's brought it to?
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get there.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna have a summit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I was so excited when they was like, oh, we're going to Europe again!
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and then it was just like the montage.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I enjoyed the fashion montage of like we're walking in the places London looks good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say this movie is at its absolute worst When it's like come to this party.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's a famous person.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's a famous person Me, Kara, Swisher It's like what the fuck It sucks.
[SPEAKER_00]: They do love doing that
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just let those are the points where I'm like, I can't, I don't like this.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then when we move off of it, it's funny the basketball player though, that I saw a clip of him talking, and I guess Ann Hathaway is like a massive basketball fan.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who knew?
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure a lot of people know that but not me.
[SPEAKER_03]: He knew that.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was like, oh yeah, we see Annie at the game.
[UNKNOWN]: I see him.
[SPEAKER_03]: And she like did it.
[SPEAKER_03]: She did a late night interview where she talked about how she like where's some like specific Clearly I tracked this very closely.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't even remember the team.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the mix.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure But then she always wears her like specific colors for them and just wants she's like I really just want them to know that I know them and I really support them Wow, and they so I feel like he was there for her love that
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, then it was like law roach or whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just like, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: They really got as many famous people as humanly possible in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if the original one did that a little bit with like giselle, but giselle was playing in a system.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I feel like this was all just like, look, look at that famous person.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at that famous person.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I just don't like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel he don't like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of wish they made fake famous people.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it didn't bother me like that much.
[SPEAKER_02]: But God, I mean, like, they need to have a montage because I mean, the first one starts with like, one of the best montages of all time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The montages did make me like, this movie did make me want to be more glamorous and fashiony.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what, yeah, that happens to me with certain pieces of meat.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what that happens to me with TV shows, more than movies, but I definitely remember rewatching succession for a while like mid pandemic and like buying blacks.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, you know what, I should try slacks, maybe those would look good on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that's a really funny one to influence you because like kind of the point of like the styling on that show is that like no one really looks that glamorous or great of a heap of things.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like man, she always looks so good in her little suits, maybe.
[SPEAKER_03]: that I bought like two pairs of slacks on sale online and that I was like, no, no, I work in my house and I'm almost never wearing shoes.
[SPEAKER_03]: So actually slacks don't make sense for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think that you were possibly tricked by her like incredible ass?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I mean, for sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like her,
[SPEAKER_03]: Amazing body shape, but I was like, I'm kind of thick to you in different areas, but that's okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe the slacks work for me too.
[SPEAKER_03]: They don't.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, this is a middle block down.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's worse.
[SPEAKER_03]: We were all experimenting with things.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when we get out of this lockdown, everyone's going to go, is that Monaco?
[SPEAKER_00]: The Christmas session all she looks?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the most professional woman I've ever seen.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can think of many examples.
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember watching a game of thrones.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was rewatching a game of thrones and I ordered a fake braid for my- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, maybe this will look...
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't do me?
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't look... My hair is just not really a color that you can buy it on Amazon.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm...
[SPEAKER_03]: I bought a fake braid, and I still have it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's upstairs.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you wear our next week?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not weird, people wear fake braid.
[SPEAKER_03]: We won't talk about what I purchased when I was watching Yellowstone.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's been some weird Madman purchased the suit, mostly cigarettes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and also I feel like last of us, I tried to buy, I was playing the video game, and then watching the show, and I tried to buy a canvas back then.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god, it's like, I was like, oh, that's just, that's usually not.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to sound just smart on here, but I'm really stupid.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, gosh, look how useful that good-looking backpack is during some of the apocalypse.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just like, I like the hiking aesthetic they always have because it's the only clothes left.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have the backpack?
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't buy the music.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you didn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was like the one, and I didn't buy it because it was actually nice and expensive.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, but I know what, I will buy the Duluth Pack Co. Burgundy back the one after the one after the one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so I guess that's not relatable that behavior, I mean, I'm laughing at me, I'm trying to braid a really gummy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to think of times I've done that as an adult, because I definitely did, I think there was a whole year where I did like a cat-ness braid.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I simply don't have that much hair, you know, your hair is not so efficient for that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't have that much, but I did the like, were you braided to the side and then it's sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: But for me, over the shoulder was like, I just didn't take this into the top of the shoulder.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like my collarbone, but barely.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, I'm not in danger of buying anything luckily from this movie because I can't.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I feel like, look, I'm very susceptible to montages.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very vulnerable during montages.
[SPEAKER_02]: People need to have a babysitter during montages because they really, all my defenses are lowered.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like during that, the Malon montage where they were like walking around in outfits, and I think there was also New York montage of them walking around in outfits.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the just like stomping around in heels, looking all busy and like designer outfits with their shiny hair, made me go like, oh yeah, that's how I should be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Living, living on like the east side of LA, like,
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, the silver lake, and silver lake, Jason, it's really worked my sense of style, but suddenly I was like, Miranda would be disgusted with my outfits, with a big t-shirt, with a big skirt and loafers with little crew socks.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's just, that is the inherent issue
[SPEAKER_03]: California style is so not New York fashion style and international fashion style.
[SPEAKER_03]: And what can you do about that?
[SPEAKER_02]: And especially not over here where it's like the you know, just like the creative director capital of Los Angeles.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, like it's the what what is a
[SPEAKER_02]: is so not like fashion and but this is how I dress because this is where I live.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but then I was and then so I've gotten it in my head that like I guess just like moved in New York.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know but then it's like I'd be living in Brooklyn where it's the same thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah boy, I did not like my time in Brooklyn.
[SPEAKER_02]: You also went during a snow storm.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, there's that during a historic storm.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was there I was there.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't know that, but I landed three hours before that blizzard hit this year.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like insane that you landed.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's what everyone I was there for a conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's genuinely like so many people were texting me like, oh, I'm not going.
[SPEAKER_03]: You went and I was like
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I came in a day early to like be a tourist, they instead got locked down.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, I feel like all that has made me like forget that like this, where it's just like sleek, fashion, expensive, shiny hot, is like actually really cool and good and I like it all.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is cooling good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I listen, I'm not a fashion person, so I'm probably stupid.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm buying braids because I saw a game of thrones, but I just feel like I also like the silver-like fashion, you know, like I like it all.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, me too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I like it all and I like, um,
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, dressing like I'm on a farm as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do like that as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm like, I am just like so deep in my heart.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I think growing up in California.
[SPEAKER_03]: And being the exact age I am where I like the all those hipster years like all that shit It's just like it's really hard to shake the California millennial Tastes out of myself Yeah, and I'm not out here wearing skinny jeans, but you know, I am I wish I miss them
[SPEAKER_03]: I like to them, okay?
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter, it's mine, and I don't actually, you know, I don't know why I'm defending myself.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like, I don't spend any time thinking about if people think I'm cool or not really with my fashion, one because nobody, I am not ever outside of my house for the moment, most of my, if I have my medic coffee shop or a movie theater.
[SPEAKER_02]: Monica's actually being held hostage, but they let her do this podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: keep her brain active.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if we've mentioned that before.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is, but I texted you earlier this week, but it like this movie really did make me think about it more like working from home for the last seven years has like a fucked my relationship to close because I'm just like, why would I ever be uncomfortable for more than one minute?
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_03]: So every time I have to put on shoes with an outfit like I'm when I'm going out I'm like
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, this, these are stupid, everything looks stupid.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's spad.
[SPEAKER_03]: I own a lot of sweatpants.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I look nice in sweatpants.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did, I wanted to, we can't now tweet anymore.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I, I was thinking, I wanted to be like, to tweet something like, I don't like these outfits.
[SPEAKER_03]: Me watching the Devil wears Prada in Costco pants.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does that mean they're Kirkland or the Kirkland pants?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I just bought them at Costco that day.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was wearing pants, I bought it at Costco.
[SPEAKER_00]: You bought them at the same day?
[SPEAKER_02]: You bought, there were some people of my theater who were like kind of dressed up to see the movie and you did that cute.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want my final name.
[SPEAKER_03]: You bought new pants.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're black.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, we're chic.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're they're black fake linen pants.
[SPEAKER_03]: They were eight dollars.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I also as a as a Californian dress.
[SPEAKER_02]: a very casual.
[SPEAKER_02]: Except not because everyone else seems to think a lot of the time that I'm dressed quite fancy.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's just because I wear dresses.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it is funny how like it just doesn't take that much.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it's weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like dresses because I'm really bad at putting outfits together.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure, so the dress kind of does it for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and also they're really comfortable, but like it's it is funny how people seem to see dresses and skirts as like
[SPEAKER_02]: inherently fancy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, especially in California.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think people think that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, and here, too, I think in Illinois, people also are like, whoa, you're dressed up and you'll be like wearing dress from Target or something.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just not a pants person.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I
[SPEAKER_03]: Nevermind.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to get into why I don't like to wear dresses.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot of body hair that just like rubbed together.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's My waxer stays paid.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look beautiful thick head hair comes across the every time I get my I've gotten my eyebrows done my entire life.
[SPEAKER_03]: They always are like or if I've gotten a bikini wax, they'll be like
[SPEAKER_03]: At least you have really thick hair on your head and I'm like, shut up!
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all a double edge, so please me look!
[SPEAKER_02]: I have five hairs on my head, but also I don't have to shave that often.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, my like, yeah, I just like the thigh chafing is like too much for me in dresses a lot of times, which is why I'm just lazy about wearing them got to have my little shorts it's a whole thing I do like little shorts don't like pants to do like shorts there you go yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: do we have anything else to say about this movie?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm wondering because I think I might have expended all of my feelings, thought energy, let's see.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I do have some more thoughts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, I'm like formulating them like right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just like know they're in there, but I just have to like, you know, you're just pretty sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just like, pretty sure I was more of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Guys, if our energy is crazy, we're doing a night recording.
[SPEAKER_02]: First one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked that the first assistant was still kind of a bitch.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked the scene in the board room where Miranda was saying things and the assistant was like, um, because it, at least like, showed that it's like, she didn't randomly have a lobotomy and become a different character.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: This has been 20 years of like being forced to change.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And like that was funny, that was a funny scene.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was funny that Timothy Shalame's sister was in half a frame.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I saw her name on the credits and I was like, when?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was like, she was sitting at that table and like the second time they made in that room, but I don't even know if she had a line.
[SPEAKER_02]: Certainly she had lines and they got cut.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because yeah, otherwise, since a sweetening got cut, did you know that?
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think they got good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I was, when it was made sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: What seemed to you think she was in?
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I don't know because I feel like if she was at the Hampton's party, they would have just left her in because it's not like, yeah, because it was just like one of, of many, yeah, so maybe.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, maybe it was like a photo shoot thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe she was like, at one of the photo shoots, or maybe she comes into the office.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very, very smart of them to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cut her.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did like that like the main villain.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I guess,
[SPEAKER_02]: Not the main.
[SPEAKER_02]: A, yeah, kind of the main like villain in the villain's sense where there's like a turn or reveal.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that it was like not just some new rando.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked that it was like an old- It was a nightmare.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I thought that was really cool and interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, I really liked that line that of course, I can't quite remember specifically, but it was like something about how
[SPEAKER_03]: you she doesn't she didn't have like she was a consumer and not a taste maker.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's an interesting concept.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah because you're kind of a brutal.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think she said like she wasn't a visionary or something.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and she definitely called her a consumer, which I was like, oh, yeah, very relevant because there's there's a lot of girls these days who have made their entire brand consumption, yeah, but I then I also liked that in the end, I thought her little lunch with Andy was very cute, I did too and, um, oh, you know what I really loved.
[SPEAKER_03]: I loved the conversation in the car with Andy on the way home from Lucy Lou's house.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: When Lucy Lou buys the company.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it is so like not to be like girl boss about it because I, you know, there's like not go put on your slacks go get your slacks come back and be girl boss about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wear all the items at once, I have like, my slacks.
[SPEAKER_00]: But on your slacks, but in your girl's arms, brain.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: What is it?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like there's like a girl fixed your crown.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your brain.
[SPEAKER_00]: Straighten your slacks.
[SPEAKER_03]: That scene, with her in the card together,
[SPEAKER_03]: And Miranda doesn't let Andy sort of say like oh you think like she's like oh you think we're a team like because you think we're a team now like okay for now and and you know she says the thing about right your book.
[SPEAKER_03]: And she talks about how she's like, I missed a lot and there was a cost.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was so frank and so sincere.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I just don't feel like I've seen that before.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then she would be with a woman CEO where it's not her being.
[SPEAKER_03]: some evil shrew.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's heard just like honestly being like, yeah, there was a cost.
[SPEAKER_03]: I missed stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she's like, I missed everything, but I love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love working is what she said, which I was like, you know, if three things went wrong, this could have felt like
[SPEAKER_03]: It just felt sincere and like there are people who feel like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, totally.
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I don't know, I just, I thought it was very prefer- that part genuinely kind of made me tear up a little like I felt a little emotional at that scene because it just felt so honest.
[SPEAKER_03]: and the nurses said, girl, what the hell?
[UNKNOWN]: What are you doing?
[SPEAKER_03]: They've bunked me over there, but they're standing like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: The snacks from the little tray, on top, explode, everywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like they got a lot of good like a...
[SPEAKER_02]: one-on-one character scenes that like, yeah, everyone wanted with like, yeah, Andy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Emily, Emily Miranda, Stanley Tucci, like, getting and half of we closed again.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it didn't feel too, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: It somehow didn't, it felt referential to the first one in a,
[SPEAKER_02]: In sort of a fan service way, but not in a way that felt cheap or bad, I thought it was done very well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it felt like a mature way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of.
[SPEAKER_02]: And like all the characters did mature 20 years, or maybe not in like Emily's case like maybe not even mature, but she's been kind of stewing this whole time, so it's like But that also that feels honest too, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Totally not like so many people who are like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like for all of them 20 years have passed for the characters.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Guys, go see this movie if you haven't already.
[SPEAKER_02]: You probably have, I think everyone, somebody who like, you know, I see a lot of movies with who's one of my entourage members.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, gonna go see double-sees, gonna go see double-ores product if you want to come on Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, oh, I don't think I'm gonna see that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, what?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just feel like I kind of assumed everyone was going to see it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you hate women?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, then that's why.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Great.
[SPEAKER_03]: That actually makes sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't see it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: pretty cute.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember what I was going to say.
[SPEAKER_02]: One thing that gave it even more points in my book was, um, did you see that this girl posted when there's that scroll of like everyone's mad at Miranda and there's that like AI picture, where it's like, would you like a
[SPEAKER_02]: That, that's so funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved that because, you know, and they didn't use AI for the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were like, hey, hello, artist, can you make something that looks like AI?
[SPEAKER_03]: That's really good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is awesome.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, go see double words, Prada, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: And now we, we have, okay, yeah, well, if one, if you find one in theaters, I guess you can do that too.
[SPEAKER_03]: They should have done it.
[SPEAKER_01]: They do a really, you don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, they're like re-releasing everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: They really, like speed racer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I feel like legally blonde is constantly in an anniversary where it's back in theaters.
[SPEAKER_03]: What the fuck?
[SPEAKER_03]: bullshit.
[SPEAKER_03]: So okay, we're moving on to a segment question mark.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not addressing.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're addressing a social question.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, this was related to the nurses.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, this was for five nurses.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the nurses fault.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, because that was my initial beef.
[SPEAKER_03]: Was that they were talking at full volume during the trailers.
[SPEAKER_03]: And here's where I say, here's my take.
[SPEAKER_03]: The second, the lights go down, that's the no talking zone.
[SPEAKER_03]: So the lights go down for the trailers, so that's the no talking zone.
[SPEAKER_03]: To me, the trailers are just as important as the movie.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like get there early so that I can see them all because I like to know what's coming and I'd like to see the trailers and like even if it's a trailer I've seen several times.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not like I have the right to talk through it because someone else might want to be paying attention.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that is my staunchly held opinion, no talking during the trailers.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's extremely fucking rude.
[SPEAKER_03]: You shouldn't control the whole space for other people.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm a little less hard line on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not full volume, certainly.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am, I am okay with whispering and muttering.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm okay with a, like, you know, between the trailers, it goes down, the like sound goes down and the the rating screen is on and you're like, Alex good or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: We should see that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where are you on phones during trailers?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I don't care.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'm okay with phones during trailers.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think movie start is when the phone's need to be gone.
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you'd be surprised if you'd say of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: But no one seems to understand that anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, with trailers, I'm okay with just sort of like, whisper whisper whisper.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I don't know, people are still coming in and there's so much stuff
[SPEAKER_02]: that I'm like, what's one more little like mumble?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it obviously has to stop when the movie starts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the second, I would say once Nicole Kidman is, once the Coke couple is up, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: shut, you gotta be quiet.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're getting into the quiet zone.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and we don't speak during the National Anthem, which is the Nicole Kidman ad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Isn't it so funny when people are you ever near people who like still do with like either like clap or whatever and you're like damn you have been to the movies five times in the past.
[UNKNOWN]: Like
[SPEAKER_00]: four years.
[SPEAKER_03]: I bet I don't ever see I don't think I have ever really seen that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't think it's been popular to do that anywhere I've lived since that ad started coming out.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will if I'm we at the movies with someone who doesn't I know doesn't go to the movies that much and they're just like making an exception.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will do a wave during the thinking the AMC
[SPEAKER_02]: classic bit, that's a classic bit, that's a classic.
[SPEAKER_03]: They always look at me like it's brand new, but I'm like, we all wasn't everyone in the A list is doing this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's me.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, then that.
[SPEAKER_02]: made us want to talk about theater etiquette in general.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I put a little question on Instagram.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have not looked at the answers.
[SPEAKER_02]: And here are some of the questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, a lot of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to condense a lot of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Into just generally, like, outside food, like, full meals, like in the theater.
[SPEAKER_03]: OK. Full meal, does it require a fork?
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that would also be like a burrito,
[SPEAKER_03]: eating road to three chicken out of the bag.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I don't love it, but I am, I accept it as a part of what can happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think my strongest opinions are almost always going to be like sound or visual related.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't love smelling someone's like burrito or whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think the strongest opinion I've had is with someone eats like a hummus or a Caesar salad next to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, some words are salad is rough, smells crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to be smelling like creamy dressing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, hummus bugs me because that like packaged like snack pack type of hummus is so stinky.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: It like has a really strong sort of like shelf-stable garlic smell to it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Where it's like a little bit of like citric acid and garlic or something.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's rough to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I kind of think that like the the line to me is like
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're bringing something in, and it has a smell, it needs to smell like a food that would already be in the theater.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like gender.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like any sort of general fried smell or buttery smell is okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want any smells in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've, we've landed on the smells that are gonna be in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want somebody sitting next to me or even across the theater.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want someone with a fucking bowl of, of, of ballin' aes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to know to smell that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now have you seen the joke trend going around?
[SPEAKER_03]: That's like the movie theater employee walks by me during, well, I'm like, knee deep in a crab boil.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's like, are you eating a big?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, and then putting it down.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't support that eating that in the movies, but those videos make always make you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's funny, and I find it disgusting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I find it disgusting.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, that's rapidly viral, but it also.
[SPEAKER_02]: I sometimes like, I think you set me one where it was like, these two girls that had this crazy fucking spread, and I'm like, okay, I'm not judging anyone, but I'm also kind of like, how much food do you need for, for a hundred minutes?
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, whatever happened to getting lunch before or after, you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I definitely can see that.
[SPEAKER_03]: a beautiful year in all of our lives.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was living, when I was living in Nashville, I would go to the movies at the first showing.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I have a very vivid memory of specifically doing this for the movie first reformed.
[UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_03]: A barrel of laughs we can write to a 10 30 AM showing of first reformed.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there was a Whole Foods next door.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I looked on the app for movie paths to see if any other seats had been purchased and there hadn't been and it was like I better be alone so I think I went to the whole food shop bar and got like breakfast foods like bacon and like
[SPEAKER_03]: and then like a bunch of vegetables that I just enjoy snacking on from the salad bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: That I know what's just like watching first reform eating like eating bacon and eating peas as if they're popcorn because I like doing that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like a duck?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a little duck in a pond.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I just I like peas.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I sometimes eat peas like their popcorn, wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: This has been a really vulnerable ever since.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
[SPEAKER_02]: You've, this is gonna be our entry episode into the Golden Globes for the vodka's category because it was so raw and vulnerable.
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will put forward the $10,000 at costs to enter.
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually did, I remember now I did once bring in something bad because it definitely had a smell to it and there were other people in the theater.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've all made mistakes.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a package of turkey peps of uncured turkey peps.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a magical thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Isn't that bad?
[SPEAKER_03]: Is he, you know, it's no worse than bacon and peas.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, but there were other people in my other, I do think maybe somebody came in at some point, and then they saw you eating breakfast in your favorite, this was before the break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, okay, I like this one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Biggest pet peeve, and then what's your preferred seat?
[SPEAKER_03]: My biggest pet peeve in theater etiquette simply has to be talking.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no other thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like even phones, in the hierarchy of pet peeves, phones are not great, but talking really boils my blood because it just feels so rude.
[SPEAKER_03]: Unless it's a screening where it's specifically, like a rocky horror or something where you're supposed to be like hooting and hollering and running around.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think there's any movie where you're supposed to be talking.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've had friends who will be like, oh, this is the kind of movie you talk through.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, there is no movie right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was your later.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was everyone in this theater in agreement.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like did we all have a little discussion before him?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we could do that at home, but at the movie theater, talking is just like, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, what was the other question?
[SPEAKER_03]: Seet?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, where do you like to sit?
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a big issue in our marriage.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Alex, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up us or something.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just prefer Alex's sound, you know, he loves sound and like, where to experience the best sound and there are like four seats in every theater where you can experience the best sound because the speakers are pointed directly at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like how does he know where those are?
[SPEAKER_03]: are they always built the same so it's essentially like the exact middle of the room is always the best sound experience okay i don't give i don't give a shit about that and i can't tell the difference ever i like to sit in the back corner
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can do secret bad things?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't, I think I just am comforted by being in a corner.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think you're being evil-backed, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like to, and if not the corner, I like to sit on like, you know, if the aisle splits and there's like three seats and then a full aisle, I will take the one closest to the wall and the three seat area, a pie, and if, and if no one else sits over there, because listen, those are not popular seats.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just feel like every, unless I'm at an old movie theater where the seats are not like, like modern movie theaters, they've really made it so that the experience and a seat is not totally different, you know, there's no like breaking your neck to look up or whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so if I'm in a modern movie theater, I like the ones where I'm against the wall and then no one else will sit in the aisle most of the time and I'll like put all the armrests up and I just can like sit a bunch of different ways during.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like lean against the wall and put my leg up on the chin bar and I do like sitting a bunch of different ways, which is why I like recliners.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because you can't really sit crisscross applesauce in a normal seat, but you certainly can on a recliner.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, and I love seeing Chris cross out both of us.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't feel like a lot of the theaters have recliners around here.
[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be like one or two of the screens at the AMCs.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess honestly, that's kind of the same here.
[SPEAKER_02]: But just with a lot of new releases, like a lot of the time they will be.
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's like a three and a half hour movie, recliner is not negotiable.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sitting at two 90 degree angles for three and a half hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, my preferred seed is very different, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say like roughly like F row and if it's a very empty theater, I'll I love to do just like center.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but if it's a full-feet or got to be on an aisle, I don't like being boxed in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I need to be on the aisle because like there's something about having two people very close on either side of you, which then brings me to my pet peeve, which
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, talking, of course, like phones, particularly when it's like when it's people like just like playing candy crush What's it saying when I saw sinners in I'm acts, so like they paid and it wasn't a damn sees like they paid a lot of money for that You get there was one guy who was just like right in front of me who was just going between like Amazon Wikipedia and grinder and
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, what are you, what are you with the pedying right now and what are you have to like order a new toothpaste right now what are you doing that's crazy yeah and I was like driving me nuts, but like a more niche pet peeve is like sometimes and I think this has to do with my mood I am willing to admit my part in this
[SPEAKER_02]: like it's just like I need you to stop moving.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need you to stop clearing your throat.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just needed all the stop.
[SPEAKER_03]: Please, please, I need everything to stop.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't be a person anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: All these teenagers who are doing that, which they have a lot of energy I understand.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, their bodies are doing weird stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which then also, one of the big etiquette things now with a sign seeding is, like, I feel like there's a lot of etiquette around, like, when someone's in your seat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it revelers product to there was a couple.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this has been happening a lot lately.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, last week, I think there was a couple, and they were both, and I'm always alone.
[SPEAKER_02]: So people immediately like think I'm like,
[SPEAKER_02]: weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, because people are weird about people going to the movies alone or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just stupid.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's like you're not talking any ways during it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But there was a couple who would like the guy was in my seat.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, I think that's my seat.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he was like, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the lady was like, no, blah, blah, blah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was like, they were on the total opposite side of the aisle.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, I don't even know how this happened.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then on Thursday, devil was prodded.
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a guy in my seat, part of a couple.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was just supposed to be on the other side, but I had to be like,
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're on my seat and it's like, I hate doing that, but it's necessary because like, when I saw wicked too, I, I was with my friend Matt and we show up, it's pretty close to the end of previous full full theater because it's opening weekend fully full theater.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there was a girl in my seat, like a young girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, hi, I think you're in our seats.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she just went, oh, someone was in our seats.
[SPEAKER_02]: and then just nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just absolutely nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then just sort of turns away and it's like done with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, oh, well, can you ask them to, can you ask the people in your seats to move?
[SPEAKER_02]: She was like, I just feel like there's like an hot really room in this row for anyone to like scoot over.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just kind of looked around at the full theater and I was just like,
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there's no other seats.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what to tell you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then finally, after so much just awkward standing there and like, her just really wanting me to go away, she like, finally, you know, caught up the nerve to talk to the person who was in her seat, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: But it was just weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: She fully expected me to just go, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh well, so weird, but someone was in my seat, and, right, so you have to, what, what we're doing here is that's you're going to go do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why is that my problem now?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and I just kind of do think that happens a lot where people just be like, not on their seat, and then you're like, that's my seat, and they're like, oh,
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, oh, well, you, oh, I didn't know I have to care.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that doesn't, my theaters are never fall.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it hasn't been coming up.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I will say the opposite of that one time, I think when we went to see the drama, Alex had bought the tickets.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we know this, but we have trouble remembering which seated is there's one seat in one of the theaters.
[SPEAKER_03]: where it's broken and it's like in the ideal seat area.
[SPEAKER_03]: They should fix that.
[SPEAKER_03]: They should fix it, but they don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: So movie theaters are struggling.
[SPEAKER_03]: They won't do anything to improve it.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they don't fix the seat and so we get there.
[SPEAKER_03]: We realize it's broken and we're like, oh, let's just all scoot over one and we'll just figure it out.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's fine, but my anxiety every time someone walked in the room, I was like, oh my god.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, also though, weirdly at the screening I went to of the drama, the Friday of opening weekend, we were alone in the room.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's so crazy, until like five to ten minutes into the movie.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I remember you saying that, which is like what the fuck like what are you guys doing and then it like filled up like a ton of people came in like in their little groups one at a time and I was just like, what so weird you guys missed some of the movie But then that made it more stressful because it was like there is less
[SPEAKER_03]: opening for communication, like the communication that would happen if I was in someone's seat.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's a higher pressure.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I totally feel that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, uh, I feel like when people now that people come in, like I come in definitely late, but like during previews.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, but still, I feel like people now come in so late.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it makes me feel like, you know, like a dog gets on nervous when like not everyone's in the room.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like counting.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need everyone to be in the room, just like I just need everyone to sit down!
[SPEAKER_00]: I just need everyone to sit down!
[SPEAKER_02]: I get really like that where I just need everyone to be settled for me to focus on the movie.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's so funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like everyone just getting here and like everyone who's going to sit needs to just sit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete, please.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah, yeah, but so the seat, the seat stuff doesn't come up a ton for me, but if it, I don't like, I just feel like when rules like that exist, I just want to live in them correctly, and it stresses me out when someone's doing them wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just sort of a thing where it's like, I do kind of think it's like totally fine to like, give it a try.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Try to sit in a seat.
[SPEAKER_02]: You'd rather be in.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if somebody is like, oh, you're in my seat, you immediately have to be like, oh, sorry, and leave.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but then also when people do that and like you know how full the theater is when you booked that ticket So when people do that and they know it was like a full theater It's like how do you think this is gonna play out exactly?
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember when I was seeing
[SPEAKER_03]: The internals and I and I like book to my ticket and I saw it alone because Alex really does not like Marvel stuff and I don't love it But for some reason I would see some of them for a few years Just got to do your culture homework sometimes I guess
[SPEAKER_03]: uh but I remember when I was seeing it it was like a pretty busy theater and um um I didn't like the seat I had picked and so I kept, I like moved, I moved, and I just kept checking the app to see if anyone had bought the seat I had moved.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's like, and that's a nervousness that's probably incorrect in the other person.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a very considerate of you.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's it's anxiety and I'm working on it and there, but it does the VISTA still not do assign seats.
[SPEAKER_03]: At this film festival, I'm the reason we're recording a night is because I'm going to film festival this weekend and I have been a couple of times already.
[SPEAKER_03]: They don't have a science eats and there's like no place where I have that experience anymore.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the anxiety is crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think it's like.
[SPEAKER_02]: with the Vista sort of like, okay, that has to be more of like a plant.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to go kind of like, I like that with the signed seeding.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like with a list and stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just going to the movies like so much that it's like, I wanted to just be like easy show up like your sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like as frictionless as possible.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is at like essentially,
[SPEAKER_03]: It's at the music box theater, which is like a, it's similar to the Vista.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like an old movie house, like movie palace-type place.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the other thing that makes me anxious while going to these like non-assigned seating movies with Alex is that Alex is very tall.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so, like, he literally, we went to see in her front of the band, the show, the movie at this theater, and we got their late.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he has to, like, he essentially had his whole body tense to hold his knees up, so that he could be in the space.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it just makes me stressed, I'm like we have to get an Isle, he's made a way for my giant husband, everyone out of the way.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like nervous, I mean, he is not asking me to do that and again, this is something I'm addressing in therapy, but.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that is like a part of the calculus is like, oh, it's going to be uncomfortable for him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes I won't buy tickets this theater because I'm like, it's just not comfortable if I can see it somewhere else I will.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I have a new thing I'm springing on, you know, that I think will be a nice button.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: For any sort of movie that's big enough that it has like, it's on like AMC pop corn bucket.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we should rate the popcorn bucket.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see this popcorn bucket?
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fuck.
[SPEAKER_00]: My button!
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, I can Google it right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna Google it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, behind the scenes.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is what it looks like when I Google, this is why you've got to watch the YouTube.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I usually do, oh, it's a purse.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I don't mind?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think a scale should be one, one to 10 or one to five?
[SPEAKER_03]: I think one to five, I don't think we need to compensate it with twice as many numbers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, one to five, popcorn, pumpkin scale.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess kernels, I guess we're rating in kernels.
[SPEAKER_02]: We know, oh, no, it's popcorn pieces.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then if you want to do like half, it's like one of those like little half-poped kernels.
[SPEAKER_03]: okay that's good um so let's just let's just get a sense of of scale first uh water some of the famous pop with the first popcorn bucket which was dune right i like it was the first but it was a very famous one where you stick your hand in the worm i never seen them before the dune one uh interesting um i'm gonna i'm gonna give the dune one
[SPEAKER_03]: weird and also sort of, um, it's more immersive.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think then some of the other ones I've seen because you're experiencing the, you're messing to the world.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not what I'm doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, but that's what everyone was saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were going to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what everyone was like, the red man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say the June one
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, yeah, I'll say forward to creative.
[SPEAKER_03]: Loco and on, yeah, okay, what about Project Hail Mary Rocky's little ball.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked that one, but I was confused by how it was a popcorn bucket because he's in it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: For that reason, I only give it a two and a half.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that one didn't really stick with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, we'd give that maybe like a two.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, what about the, the naked gun like that beaver?
[SPEAKER_03]: I wait, I have to Google it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I'm missing a lot of these popcorn buckets.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, the beaver.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really liked that one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would give that one a five.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's kind of funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: With him.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I guess I say, he doesn't look that big.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, how much popcorn is, oh wait, I see him with a person, nevermind.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, yeah, he gets a five.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's weird, he's weird and funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's funny that though, we're just kind of giving the same score because we are just so aligned.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Popcorn bucket, one of the only ones I've actually ever wanted did not get it, but almost wanted it was the nose for ought to one.
[SPEAKER_02]: was it a coffin?
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, and it was metal.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't have like rats on the inside.
[SPEAKER_02]: The metal immediately, like, elevates it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's like, I don't want a piece of plastic.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've been my house.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when they're metal immediately, I'm like, whoa, yeah, that one was cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll give that one a five.
[SPEAKER_03]: That one's a five for me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Devil wears proud of one.
[SPEAKER_03]: The purse.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really don't like it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And what did you do?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you enthusiastically disliking about it?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just so like nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it's smooth, like a river rock.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to just... That's what I said about myself the other day.
[SPEAKER_03]: Guys, listeners, I was buying a bunch of first-charisers and exfoliants and I said I wanted to be smooth like wherever.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it is smooth, like, I remember rock your right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just like, it's so nothing to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is really neutral looking.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's also like, it's very anti-coded.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm,
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because this feels very like, oh, it's a movie about fashion versus yeah, yeah, and I feel like there was definitely a certain era of time where like
[SPEAKER_03]: herses and shoes being represented on clothing as like a print was a big thing in the aunt community I feel like you know I'm thinking of like something that used to exist and now just doesn't but there was like
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, some sort of like society of women and it was the purple and the red red hat society.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes I think that does still exist.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it used to be more prevalent
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that I was just hanging out at a lot more corner bakeries and it was prevalent and now I'm just not hanging out there anymore because I feel like I never encountered that in person, but there was like a lot of stuff with that on it and to me this person's very that
[SPEAKER_03]: that is exactly what it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I bet if you, I bet if we looked at the Red Hat society, like some chapters in Instagram page probably has like all of them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, with their little devil words for out of first.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like I don't think it's cute or nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's neutral and so I'm giving it a 2.5, a 2.5, some might say, um, I'm giving it a 1.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa, she's enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tough critic.
[SPEAKER_02]: You might be able to hear my cat's fighting in the background, but they're okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't worry about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope everyone's heard.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we did it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We did it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Our longest episode ever is the devil wears product too.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was a corporate entity.
[SPEAKER_03]: They said that this is the highest rated movie in Hugh Jackman's career.
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw that so funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: In saying, so anyway, what we're going to do is both, we're going to cover the sheep detectives.
