Welcome to teen Girl Talk. Teen
Girl Talk. I'm Susie Cooda, I'm

2
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.320
freaking Coda and this week we're spin
that's me record scratching. We saw a

3
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:36.240
record scratching in this film Topical.
Do you know how record scratching was invented?

4
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.439
I feel like I have read about
it, but I do not remember.

5
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:45.759
Please enlighten me. I watched the
like very extensive v H one History

6
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.640
of Hip Hop. That's how old
I am. There was a young DJ,

7
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.840
his mom was yelling at him and
he couldn't hear her over what he

8
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.000
was mixing, so he put his
finger on the record and it's start scratching

9
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.560
and he's like, huh, and
you just start That's how it began.

10
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:10.519
He just starts scratching like that.
Everybody picked it up. That's awesome,

11
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:18.359
I mean happy accidents, right.
Yeah. So this is a d com

12
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:25.480
movie, and I have to say
production writing, acting not to slander other

13
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.799
d coms, previous d comms.
This felt like a movie in ways of

14
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.719
the real dy coms are not.
These felt like real people who could exist

15
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:44.319
in the way other not. I
mean, I think there is definitely a

16
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.519
spectrum of d cooms, right,
like you have a movie like this that

17
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.040
I'm going to put this on the
same level as like my lifetime presumption that

18
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.719
Lifetime has just started started buying like
prepackaged movies, like I think that this

19
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.080
movie was made like through the Disney
studio because there's no kissing. There are

20
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.240
intense looks. There are looks that
you would think would precede a kiss,

21
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.680
even a chased kiss. No kissing, even though they're juniors in high school,

22
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.520
sophomore juniors in high school. There
is hand holding, yes, I

23
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:29.360
hand holding. It is given the
gravitas of a kiss, which I appreciate

24
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:36.479
right Like I don't need to.
I this movie showed me enough of them

25
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:44.439
like bonding and working on DJing together. And I'll be truthful, I do

26
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.639
not know a ton about professional DJing. I have seen the zac Efron movie

27
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.639
We Are Your Friends a number of
times. I don't think that counts.

28
00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:00.960
And yeah, I'm trying to think
of any other may have watched a true

29
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.000
life episode. I am a DJ, but I'm not even sure that exists.

30
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.120
I could just be making it up. Okay, I think I remember

31
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.599
what true life episode you're talking about, and they were like, it's true

32
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.759
life I'm addicted to partying. Oh
my god, that is not the same

33
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.840
as having good job. Yeah,
well one of them. It followed three

34
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.759
different people. One of them wanted
to be a DJD. Was this the

35
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.120
one with the guy who was a
waiter and he would drink people's like floaters

36
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.919
just like pick up let abandon drinks
and drink them. Possibly, No,

37
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.879
I think that's I summer in the
Hampton's I'm sorry, please continue. I

38
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:45.719
was like this. These people were
all having a very rough life. I

39
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.000
guess fun for them, but very
much they needed help. One person went

40
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:55.599
to a like party and then left
like noon the next day and the party

41
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.960
was still going on, and I'm
just like, I don't know how you

42
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:06.199
do that. Yeah. I mean
if I was one of those clubs,

43
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.319
like the minute I walked through the
door, I just look at my friend

44
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.680
and be like, I'm ready to
go when you are. Yeah. But

45
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.519
he brought his mix which was not
good to like a record label, and

46
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:23.000
they're like, there's nothing really that
stands out here. And I mean probably

47
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.560
this is just like a presumption on
my part. I do not know anything

48
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.199
about the inner workings of an MTV
producer, but I think if I was

49
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:40.399
trying to make footage and this person
made a mix. I'd be like,

50
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:45.480
we have to get a clip of
him going to a record producer, and

51
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:53.879
because like they probably they definitely have
connections, right, and like so they

52
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:59.879
set this up and just let the
dominoes fall. Yeah, but it's just

53
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:04.480
like, like, what was that
show we watched The Hills where I remember

54
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.399
nothing about The Hills? I did
start following Lauren Conrad on Instagram. Well,

55
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.199
Laura Connor was like, of course
I didn't work there. I had

56
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.639
no skills, Like you think I
just got this job and I was working

57
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.639
at this company. No, I
did nothing there. Like wait, because

58
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.040
they had like internships at Conde Nast
or something, right, Yeah, and

59
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.519
yeah, it was very clear they
were not you know, like I'm saying

60
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.279
this mostly because not just you know, to be shitty, but it was

61
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.800
very like she's admitted, like I
didn't do anything. I got that job

62
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:42.199
through the show I do. I
never worked for Conde Nast. You know.

63
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.759
It's similar to and I mean this
is like a very low level that

64
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:53.920
when on the Jersey Shore the first
couple of seasons, they made them work

65
00:05:53.959 --> 00:06:00.160
at the T shirt shop and their
landlord was also their boss, and they

66
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.040
because basically MTV was encouraging them to
go out every night and party, they

67
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.480
were no shape to go to work
the next day. It's actually why Angelina

68
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.199
left the show because she called out
her boss showed up at her house,

69
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.879
which is awful, Like, that's
just not again. I have to assume

70
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:27.759
this was like producer intervention. But
can you imagine if you called out from

71
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.160
work and then your boss showed up
at your door. It's like that episode

72
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.519
of the Office where Joy and I
think we talked about this a couple episodes,

73
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:42.720
but White thinks that Oscar is faking
ill and shows somebody says wildly inappropriate.

74
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:50.959
I don't think it really serves reality
shows unless the reality show is specifically

75
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.600
about the job. And even on
a show like Selling Sunset, which I

76
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.519
love, the first couple of seasons, I don't know how much work they

77
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.680
were doing, Like they went to
a lot of parties, they held some

78
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:08.240
open houses, but it was more
about the interpersonal relationship. Same thing with

79
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.399
Jersey sure By. I think the
fourth season they weren't in that house anymore.

80
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.120
I'm sure their contracts were upper negotiation
and they were like, we would

81
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:23.879
love to not be in this tiny
house where Ronnie plugs up all the toilets

82
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.439
and we have to go work at
a T shirt shop because at that point

83
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.399
there were millionaires, Like the idea
of having them sell T shirts didn't work

84
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:35.199
anymore. Okay, So that and
this situation was in jail, so you're

85
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:43.480
already down one employee. That reminds
me of the real world, where it's

86
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.120
like when people stop being like pull
out and start being real And I'm like,

87
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:54.040
okay, how how are like they're
not actually paying rent? Like could

88
00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.560
you imagine Suzzy both back in nineteen
ninety dollars or early alls dollars and now

89
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.360
what those apartments cost, there is
no way. But Frank, there was

90
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.639
a ton of them. They had
to share rooms, Like I think you're

91
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.199
right, like with the jobs they
were doing, because again, they were

92
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.399
not working every day. And I'm
not sure like I watched the first couple

93
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.439
of seasons, so I saw like
Seattle, I saw New Orleans. I'm

94
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.160
not even sure sure I ever saw
New York, which I think was the

95
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.039
first first season. But they would
like kind of go to work. But

96
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.399
again, there were most of the
drama happened in the house because it's easy.

97
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.159
You don't have to get location releases. You don't have to get releases

98
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.960
for people who just might be in
the background, and then if you don't

99
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.720
get releases for them, you have
to blur their face like they've done tells

100
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:54.480
about the real world. And apparently
MTV could not, like for McDonald's franchises,

101
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.960
they couldn't get releases to film there, so the cast would just go

102
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.399
sit in a McDonald donalds so that
they could have a conversation, like a

103
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.559
private conversation about filming, like what
was going on without the cameras being there.

104
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.759
So I don't know. All that
being said, we did not watch

105
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:18.120
a reality show. We watched a
movie about the most wholesome DJing you've ever

106
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:26.720
seen, which I love and uh
with one of our I'd say one of

107
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.840
the most casual, like low stakes. But where's heel turned boyfriends we've ever

108
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.279
seen? Yeah? Like, do
you know who he reminded? Did we

109
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.919
recently talk about the movie Big Eyes? I feel like we did. I

110
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.039
don't know if it was on the
podcast, So this felt like a Big

111
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.600
Eye situation, right, Like the
dude has no talent. He totally snipes

112
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.799
his like love interests well, in
the case of Big Eyes, it was

113
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:05.000
his spouse, but talent, and
then when he's confronted or gets called out

114
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.559
about it, he's indignant, which
I just people who are able to do

115
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:15.080
that are kind of fascinating to me
because I would just be like, oh,

116
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:22.919
you got me. But Ria is
our main character. She she unfortunately

117
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.039
has lost her mom. We don't
know how recently. We don't know how.

118
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.600
We just see like I think she
said she lost her mom when she

119
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.320
was like six. Okay, yes, because we do see a flashback to

120
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.799
like a baby Riha in bed being
like I'm having a hard time going to

121
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:52.399
sleep. So Rhea's father, Arvind, owns a restaurant and both Ria and

122
00:10:52.480 --> 00:11:01.080
her brother Rohan work there seemingly all
of the time, Like whenever they're not

123
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.919
in school, they seem to be
working at this restaurant. Do you know

124
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:16.840
what, Uh the actor who plays
Rohan was in after this that we covered

125
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:22.840
just a couple of weeks ago.
Uh No, Percy Jackson. Oh right,

126
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.240
right, right, right, right
right, it's Grover. So this

127
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.799
is this is a film with a
lot of Teen Girl Talk alumni in it,

128
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:43.399
and of course Rhea is uh played
by Avantika and she was Karen and

129
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.360
Mean Girls, which we covered last
week, so full circle. So all

130
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.320
right, so I know the answer
to this question. Oh other, did

131
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:58.960
you recognize Molly RYA's friend? I
that was a little the glasses. Yes,

132
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:05.559
I yes, she was in.
She was in. Uh she's Kitty,

133
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:11.159
She's Kitty from all the Boyson before. It was like it was a

134
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.639
cast that I was like, Wow, this is you know, everyone who's

135
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.960
been in our previous uh what do
we call it? Tea girl talk movies?

136
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.679
And she actually has her own spin
off series I think we should do

137
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.440
at some point. Yeah, it's
like XO XO Kitty. Right. Yeah.

138
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.679
When I've read on it, people
have very strong feelings either way.

139
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.399
They either love it or hate it. I have no opinion. Yeah,

140
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.919
I have no you know what I
do have strong opinions on. That's a

141
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:45.399
Netflix serious. I'm just gonna quickly
say this Pokemon Concierge, it is the

142
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.519
Pokemon thing that I've loved the most
in recent memory. That's like the Keissy

143
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.320
one. Right, Yeah, there's
no battling. It's just this woman whose

144
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.080
life is just kind of on the
on a bit of like a slump,

145
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.559
and she gets a job working at
a Pokemon hotel and her whole job is

146
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.559
just making Pokemon happy. It is
turbo cute. It is part of this

147
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:16.720
how did they check in? The
trainers check them in? Okay, And

148
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.240
it is like it's part of this
Japanese genre of shows, which is like

149
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.879
we just here to make you heal. Just yeah, and I love it.

150
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.799
It's really great. It's like an
hour to watch all four episodes.

151
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.679
Check it out. It's very good. But I was gonna say, I

152
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:39.399
know the answer is acting. Yeah, but like Raya is so bright and

153
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:46.519
intelligent, and I'm just like,
how does she just like release all of

154
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.159
that for Karen Because it's just like
physically different in this movie. Because for

155
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.120
Karen, she made her eyes wide
and looked vacant all of the time.

156
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:03.519
So she looks entirely different in this
film. Yeah, Like I would ask

157
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.519
Ria to like proke my website or
do any of the other things she's got

158
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.360
a computers like, and then it's
just like Karen, like there's nothing there

159
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:20.279
but humor. Yes, So she
is the president of the coding club,

160
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.279
and you know, all of her
teachers have great things to say about her.

161
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:33.799
At the parent teacher conference. Her
one teacher does tell her dad that

162
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.919
she seems to stress. Rhea seems
to stressed too serious, and you know,

163
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.279
he basically he needs to let her
be a teenager, a kid more

164
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:54.080
or less, which is a sentiment
that is echoed by her grandma. So

165
00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:01.519
this is her mother's mother, her
maternal grandmother, and she also helps out

166
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:09.159
at the restaurant and is constantly trying
to set up her son in law with

167
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:16.200
people. He's not interested. He
hasn't recovered from the passing of his wife,

168
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:24.159
I would guess like around a decade
before. And we're given the impression

169
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:33.480
that grandma or nanny is the glue
that holds this family together. And so

170
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:41.279
we're introduced to the family and the
restaurant and the whole dynamic on a Sunday

171
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:48.000
night where they have a rush and
then a British boy and his mother come

172
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.759
in. The mom's a real cold
fish, she's like a little brusque and

173
00:15:52.840 --> 00:16:00.039
rude, and the boy is Max
and Rheia knows him from school, and

174
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:06.000
and Uh goes over to take their
order and get them settled, and Max

175
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:14.679
Uh comments on the music on the
UH like playing overhead, and it is

176
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:25.000
DJ Luca something Lucas okay, and
I was gonna say Luca Fisk, which

177
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:30.039
is like some sort of Norwegian fish. I think it's like a briny salted

178
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.639
fish. And it's like that doesn't
sound right, that's like almost too funny

179
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:45.000
for DJ day. I'm lu Yeah, he's like Max, not DJ Lucasent.

180
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:52.480
It is happy to hear that Rhea
is a fan of Lucasen. Uh.

181
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:59.600
They're really connecting. They're talking about
record shopping and turntables, et cetera.

182
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:07.720
And so then Max's mom is like
real shitty, and it says,

183
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:15.400
can we get something to start while
we decide? And Ria's like sure she

184
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.440
she handles it like a pro,
but I would definitely be like, hmm

185
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:26.039
whatever. Then have a grandmother bust
some sick moves. Well, it's great

186
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.440
because they set it up like she's
upset about the music. She comes out

187
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.240
and says, what have I told
you about this song? And then she

188
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.519
breaks into dance. We get a
dance break, high production. I very

189
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:42.799
much appreciated that. And Ria lets
us know that this happens every Sunday night,

190
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.319
and later we'll come to find out
that Riya's mother used to also perform.

191
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:56.160
But and there's like, this is
what I love is that there is

192
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:03.720
nuance where the movie allows the viewer
to fill in the gaps right like there

193
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.920
it's been this tradition for so long, but there's also sadness that comes with

194
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:15.359
it because of the loss of their
mother, And the movie does not hit

195
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.400
the viewer over the head with this, like we don't need to hear Rio

196
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:26.960
be like I am sad. I
miss my mom. Like they're so.

197
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:33.319
The next day at school, we
meet her buds from the coding group and

198
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:41.160
uh, they have a whole class
where they have to come up with projects.

199
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:47.000
Rhea's project is there's like technical terms
for it's like some sort of like

200
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:53.839
dynamic inventory h point of sale inventory, point of sale inventory analysis. Yeah,

201
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.599
so it's boring and she's like,
well, my dad will really like

202
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.519
it. And her teachers like this
supposed to be fun. You failed the

203
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:10.559
fun part. And her friends Molly
and Watson are making a pizza drone that

204
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.319
doesn't work, but you know,
they took a swing. So this is

205
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:22.480
the kind of thing that Ria's teacher
is also encouraging her to do. And

206
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:30.960
then Riha and Max meet up to
go record shopping and this is after Molly

207
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.359
and Watson are like, who's that
boy? You smiled at him? Do

208
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:40.160
you like him? Okay? Yeah, Well one of them, Ginger is

209
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.319
freaking out because he wants to have
this rave in the gym during lunchtime and

210
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.720
her DJ has canceled. It's not
a rave, it's a promotional dance performance

211
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:59.039
that is supposed to raise awareness of
the Festival of Color that they're having as

212
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.680
a fundraiser. I think it's like
later that week, later that week,

213
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:11.079
later that month. It's uh,
it was is Rihea's idea to base it

214
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:18.720
off of Holly Holy mm hmm.
You know, because it's like festival where

215
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:23.880
you wear white and people throw like
color onto each other. I've I've seen

216
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.559
this. Yeah, I've seen this
throughout where I live. It is awesome

217
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:33.039
to observe. As I wanted to
you. You did agree summary so far.

218
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:40.680
I I want to mention two things. One, Ria's little brother wants

219
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.880
wants to make Tika musclea tacos and
I'm like, the dad is just leaving

220
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:51.920
money on the table. That sounds
delicious tacos. Yeah, I mean genius.

221
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:57.160
And then we get a very sweet
scene where Ria's mom is talking to

222
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:03.880
young Ria about have these music everywhere
flashback wherea his mom has not been reanimated

223
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:11.920
and entered the chat appears as a
ghost, like there's music everywhere. It'd

224
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.440
be kind of cool, but it's
not that kind of movie. Just a

225
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.480
forest ghost be like following my DJ
footsteps to feed the dark slide. That

226
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:25.720
is this British boy's bullshit. He
did a really good job of making Max

227
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.319
petty, jealous and insufferable. Like
immediately I was like, really, don't

228
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.319
trust him. He's like, I
have the bush and I'm ready to hide

229
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:41.920
your light under this bushel. I
can't remember. It's something we watched recently

230
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.240
use that phrase, and I was
like, oh my god, Frank must

231
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.680
love this. I think I was
saying. I think I was talking about

232
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.799
the worms from Dune because I was
just I was saying, don't hut your

233
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.880
worms under the bushel. No,
but I'm saying someone used it in a

234
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.200
film, like a character said I
don't understand why you're hiding your light under

235
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:07.720
a bushel, and I was like, Frank, write this. I wish

236
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.559
I would definitely use that phrase all
the time. Some people knew I'm an

237
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:18.079
old old man, yeah, but
yeah, so they bring in DJ Union

238
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:25.799
Max. The terrible name. Terrible
terrible name, like do you Max,

239
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:33.000
like as a name has so many
options like DJ Max power, DJ to

240
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.880
the Max, like what it's like. I mean, these are also corny,

241
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:42.880
but they are very much in like
the Disney sort of frame of mind,

242
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.200
like oubrauh yeah, I mean,
like it's very clearly he's it's like

243
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.920
Union Jack Union Max. You know. The thing that I love is that

244
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.000
again they did not put too fine
a point on this, right, like

245
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:04.079
Rhea says, okay, So we
just there is a lot of sort of

246
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.680
back and forth, like we see
Ria at the restaurant, we see Ria

247
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.960
at school, we see Ria doing
DJ stuff. Oh, we have to

248
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.880
get to the most like the crux
of the film, call it to the

249
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:26.039
film. So while Ria and Max
are record shopping, we this record show

250
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.519
that just has a DJ bove just
set up and ready to go. I

251
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:34.000
need everybod that not a DJ booth. But when I worked at a record

252
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:38.480
store, we did have listening stations. But I worked at a record store

253
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:45.000
like almost twenty years ago, so
I don't know that record store. I

254
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.880
still do this, but a full
DJ setup, like I wouldn't want people

255
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.720
putting their fingerprints all over my records. And again, like Max makes a

256
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:59.480
joke later where he's like, oh, no, you scratched this two dollars

257
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.400
record or something, and I'm like, so a store that is a I

258
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:07.680
we don't know where this is all
taking place, like what city, but

259
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:12.160
it is taking place at a city
where a record store can sell two dollars

260
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:18.119
records and still say and let people
just handle the merchandise all the time.

261
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:26.119
Like we have a couple small,
like independent record stores within an hour of

262
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:33.160
where we are, and they sell
full priced albums, and I'm sure sometimes

263
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:38.279
they still have trouble, you know, like making a profit because music is

264
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:44.799
so readily available, you know,
on the internet. But whatever. So

265
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:53.720
I similarly to how the Flash only
takes pro bono cases and what's up,

266
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:02.160
dang it? What have What does
the Flash do for work? Just give

267
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.160
me one word answer. We can't
get into it. But forensics analysis,

268
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.759
right, you told me he helps
the cops. Yeah, he works,

269
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.359
he's like the forensic scientist. Why
do I know this much about these characters?

270
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.119
I don't care about Like literally I
work the other yesterday I pulled one

271
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.559
of the seasons of the Flash for
a hold, and I was like,

272
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.960
how does he keep that law off? So? And the thing is he

273
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.799
doesn't because he's not a lawyer.
Okay, the movie was filmed in Toronto.

274
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.119
I'm just gonna assume that's where it's
supposed to take place. Okay,

275
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.400
great, so Iron does a major
city. I cannot imagine that rent is

276
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:47.519
cheap there, but whatever, pushing
forward. If that's if that is the

277
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:49.599
only unbelievable thing about this movie.
Good in this movie, I will give

278
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.519
it to you. It doesn't matter. And I'm not going to get caught

279
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.119
up in the semantics, like I'm
going to let this movie take me away.

280
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.200
Okay, but I do want to
say Ginger that some top Ginger did

281
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.599
some top notch wing woman in this
movie. She's just like, Oh,

282
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.599
I thought you'd want to like offer
the role to the cute boy you have

283
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.839
a crush on. I'm like,
Ginger knows what's up. Yes, Ginger

284
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:18.319
is like a born leader. I
would say she he is pretty thief charge

285
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:27.680
and is looking to lift up everybody's
talent. So like, Ginger seems to

286
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.079
be one of those people that can
see each of her friends rolls in a

287
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.000
thing and is like, you're great
at that, so you're gonna do that?

288
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:42.119
Okay, wonderful, and she after
she offers Max this slot, Oh,

289
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.240
we still have to get to DJ
Lucasent. So they're in the record

290
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.599
store. DJ Lucasent is there and
he's like, oh, wow, you

291
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:53.680
guys are doing a thing. You
should come and like, h be part

292
00:26:53.720 --> 00:27:04.160
of my teen DJ competition and they're
like great, and Ria says, so,

293
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.640
what's funny about this is Rio's great
at everything. We know that she's

294
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.759
going to become a DJ. So
the first half of this movie, I

295
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:18.359
just kept waiting for her to become
a DJ. So when she's like,

296
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.480
I have no talents if we've already
seen that, she not I have no

297
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.720
talents. I'm not I'm not artistic, but I'm like, I'm already all

298
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.200
in with the fact that she's probably
great at this. So I'm like,

299
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.240
Ria, just get to it.
You're gonna be a DJ. You're gonna

300
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:38.880
be great. So initially she's helping
Max. Max is showing her like the

301
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:48.920
basics of DJing. Max turns in
a subpar mix to Ginger, and Ginger

302
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:56.559
is like, okay, this is
match. And so Watson has helped make

303
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:02.240
Gingers webs I look like something you
will not get a virus from, which

304
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.079
is great because previous to that,
they said it looked like a person that

305
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.519
was having a breakdown made that website. It was a lot. And so

306
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:14.440
Ginger had created a website that looked
like a dangerous link to click. So

307
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.640
they and here's the thing. You
can say this to Ginger because Ginger knows

308
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.440
what's up. Because Riha is like, why haven't you put Max on the

309
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.480
website? She's like, I'll promote
him when he deserves to be promoted.

310
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.720
That is a good friend, that
is a good manager. She's not going.

311
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.680
Ginger was like, it was trash, so I'm not going to promote

312
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:38.319
trash and we and so then Bria
is like, are you not going to

313
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:44.160
use him? And Ginger's like,
I can't really get out of it.

314
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:45.359
I already announced it. But if
it was up to me, no,

315
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:52.319
I wouldn't use him. Yeah,
but like just like just from like if

316
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.440
you have if you have that person, like you're reporting to them, like

317
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.200
value that person because they're not going
to let your good name be solely by

318
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.920
putting out subpar work. Like and
I know there's a personal investment for her

319
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:08.279
She's like, I'm not gonna attach
my name to this subpar mix, but

320
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.839
good on you, Ginger, good
on you, Rhea. Yeah. So

321
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.440
then Ria is like, oh gosh, I gotta help Max, like,

322
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:26.160
you know, save this trash.
And so they work together. She quotes

323
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:32.359
DJ Lucassent that it has to have
a story. What are they trying to

324
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:38.519
tell us? And they come up
with it's like feeling good, feeling love

325
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:45.640
something like that, or feel the
love? And then, uh, Max,

326
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:48.799
what do you love? He's like, I love being on my skateboard,

327
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:55.880
I love surfing, and I'm like, cool, you love pastimes?

328
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:04.400
And so then and like his shitty
mom keeps coming in to be like can

329
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:08.359
you keep it down? And she
tells Ria at one point that Ria is

330
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:12.480
improving and Max is like, she's
never said that to me. So Max

331
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:21.400
has mommy issues. And when Max
Max has media white guy issues, oh

332
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:30.559
for sure. And when he plays
the mix at the black Light promotional dance

333
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:40.559
lunch break thing, everyone you know, sort of loses their minds and Ginger

334
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:48.440
is very pleased and they promote Max
and now we are moving up towards the

335
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:56.000
DJ battle. Well, he's being
promoted the lunchtime dance thing happens that leads

336
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.200
him into getting the Festival Color where
she fixes the mix for the Festival of

337
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:06.319
Color. But there's problems arising for
the Festival of Color, right because he

338
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:11.920
didn't this was not okay, So
he didn't play the Field of Love at

339
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:18.279
the black Light Dance. So Ria's
dad is like, Hey, I really

340
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.400
am going to need you at the
restaurant if you cannot show up because she's

341
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:27.359
been late or one night she missed
her shift altogether. He's like, let

342
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:34.200
me know because I will have to
make arrangements. And Ria's like, no,

343
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.799
I want to be there, you
know, don't worry about it.

344
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.720
And so, but she says that
more in general terms about the restaurant,

345
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:48.559
but she says, I need all
for the Festival of Color. And also

346
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:57.119
Ria's dad goes to a parent teacher
conference and him and Ria's teacher, Naomi

347
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:02.759
I have a little conversation about N's
and how good his the deserts that his

348
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.920
restaurant are and should she come by
and see these don't see these desserts?

349
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.279
Yes she should because she is very
pretty and very warm and very kind to

350
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:17.000
her students. All those things,
yeah, make her excellent part like this

351
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:23.559
old flirtation thread really is not going
to go anywhere. But it's like a

352
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:28.960
little side plot where she does show
up to the restaurant. I think they're

353
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.680
dating at the end, sure,
but it's like not a conflict. Like

354
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:38.440
nobody everyone supports the dad and they're
actually a lot more supportive of the dad

355
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:43.559
than he is of anyone else.
So they're like, we want you to

356
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:47.039
be happy, and he's like,
I want you to go wait tables because

357
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:52.319
like the thing is obviously like he
is conflicted because he wants his children to

358
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.839
have a good life. But at
the same time, you know, I

359
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:01.599
think that there is like a lot
of un resolve trauma with the loss of

360
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.519
their mother and his spouse. So
well, once again, this is the

361
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.519
subtleness of this film coming through,
And like howp which makes it so good

362
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.400
is you know, he confronts her
about her lateness. He's like, if

363
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.559
you don't want to be here,
just tell me and I'll I'll figure something

364
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:23.000
out. But like Rhea feels the
responsibility towards her family and towards the restaurant.

365
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.720
She says, no, I want
to be here. This is important

366
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.880
to me. I will do my
best and She just throws herself into her

367
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:36.440
job, but is also helping Max
with his terrible mix and making it not

368
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.319
terrible, and like her friends like, we haven't seen you in three weeks.

369
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:40.240
She's like, I know, I've
been really busy with the restaurant.

370
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:45.200
Yeah, but she keeps saying I
need the festival colors off, and that

371
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:51.240
leads to a baby shower. Like
a baby shower gets moved to the restaurant.

372
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.319
He's like, I'm sorry, I
need you to come to this and

373
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:58.480
she's like, okay, you know, and we don't know how she gets

374
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:05.559
out of it, but she basically
Rohan that she can get his Tiktaco's on

375
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:12.199
the menu if he helps her.
So then we see her at the Festival

376
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:23.159
of Color and Max plays his mix, everybody goes wild and then who does

377
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:30.079
he think? He thinks himself and
Ginger, oh god. So obviously Rhea

378
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:36.599
is hurt because she has held this
dumb dumb's hand this entire time, so

379
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:42.559
she doesn't accuse him or anything.
She just goes up and says, hey,

380
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.960
why didn't you shout me out when
you were thanking people about the mix?

381
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:53.239
And he's basically his response is a
non responsive it's not really my problem.

382
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:58.440
What were you? I didn't think
And she says, did you not

383
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.360
do it because you didn't think I
was going to be here or because you

384
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:07.840
just weren't going to do it anyway? And he's like, uh, basically

385
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.880
like uh, not important, don't
worry about it. He says, it's

386
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:15.800
my DJ equipment that made the mix, and like, which is so crazy

387
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:22.760
and like very adjacent to class trash. If I bought a construction worker a

388
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:23.880
bunch of tools and it's like,
please make me a house, I'd not

389
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:27.480
be like I built this house.
I bought those tools because I didn't do

390
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:32.639
it. Yes, And so then
he accuses her of being dramatic, and

391
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:37.199
Watson, Molly, and Ginger are
all standing there, and Ginger says,

392
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:42.760
hm, when a man accuses a
woman of being dramatic, what does that

393
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:45.320
mean? And then she says something
like it means he's a big liar.

394
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:55.159
That was like, yes, Ginger
solidarity. So Ginger Max down immediately Watson

395
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:58.880
fully agrees with them. I'm like, good on you, Watson, you're

396
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:04.559
an ally too. Yes, So
Max is persona nongrada. At this point,

397
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:09.039
nobody cares because he's a liar and
a thief, and Rhea is grounded

398
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.639
because Arvind has figured it out that
she snuck out and lied to I guess

399
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:20.519
basically had Rohan. We don't know
how she did it, but basically had

400
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:25.159
Rohan lie for her, and he
grounds her, and so her friends show

401
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:32.719
up a couple days later with a
bunch of DJ equipment, and Mollie has

402
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.679
a very funny line where she talks
about how her dad is a gen xer

403
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.400
who has taken up every hobby and
then abandoned it. So they stole that

404
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:49.400
stule just like repurposed his DJ equipment. I love a bunch of POGs.

405
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.000
Can you please take these POGs off
my hands? So they're like, if

406
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:53.800
you ever want to get into ceramics
or I can't remember what the other thing

407
00:36:54.000 --> 00:37:00.079
was, you know, you know
where to go in Molly's basement. So

408
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:07.159
then we see Ria. Oh So, Ria's grandma brings her into her grandma's

409
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:14.800
room to uh for a lady Heart
heart and gives Ria a box of cassette

410
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:20.440
tapes from her mom of her mother
singing and tells Ria like, you're just

411
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.079
like your mother. You can't give
up on this. You're passionate about it.

412
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:34.119
It's a thing you love and does
Ria a super solid She has a

413
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:42.239
like told Arvind that they are taking
the day off and they're going to go

414
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:45.280
to the competition together. They both
get very dressed up super cute outfits,

415
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:51.159
and as they're on their way to
the competition, Arvin calls and says,

416
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:54.880
like, this party that was supposed
to be like an intimate group has grown

417
00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:04.440
way too big. There's like everyone
brought a plus ten and Grandma just like

418
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.880
she says something like, oh,
well, I guess you're going to have

419
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:14.280
to uh figure out what to do
in the inevitability that your daughter and your

420
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.559
mother in law cannot run your business
for you. Good luck with that.

421
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:22.119
Oh we're going to the subway and
He's like, what subway at Giangfa?

422
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:32.039
She makes fake like Staticsyle's like,
oh, Grandma is a firecracker. I

423
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:40.320
love her. Like we This thing
that this movie has, uh is just

424
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.480
so many strong female characters and I
love that. It's I mean, this

425
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:51.920
movie is just men relying on women
and the women being like, uh uh,

426
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:55.159
I'm not trying to be to do
all kinds of work to do like

427
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:02.760
the which we'll call it, like
I physical labor emotional labor. Yes,

428
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.320
yes, I'm trying to think of
like how to say the stuff that makes

429
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:12.679
you money, right, like the
restaurant and winning the DJ battle. So

430
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.719
now we are at and like the
other part I love is that the conflict

431
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:22.320
is not about like the loss of
Max as a love interest, Like there

432
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.519
is a level of betrayal that is
present in what he has done, but

433
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:34.559
it is really about like the pursuit
of like artistic gratification and the fact that

434
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:38.440
Rhea has found this thing she loved
and Max tried to sour for her by

435
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:45.840
being the worst, and so you
know she had Ginger is helping hype her

436
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:50.360
the way she helped hype Max.
And by her I mean Ria. And

437
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:55.719
so Max approaches her backstage at the
DJ competition and says like, hey,

438
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.519
I know you are like really upset, and you know, like I'm sorry,

439
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:06.599
and she's like, great, I
don't care, bye, which I

440
00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:09.960
think is the perfect response. She
doesn't get upset, I'm sorry. What

441
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:13.480
was go on? No, I
was gonna say, she doesn't get upset.

442
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.800
She doesn't like make it a big
thing. She's just like too bad,

443
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:21.639
So sad you're lost? Max,
Like that's on you. Yeah,

444
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:27.360
before you know the man interrupted you
talking about a woman's feelings. I was

445
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:31.320
gonna say, yeah, I was
reading these books about hysteria. I think

446
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:37.599
you might have that. Yeah,
He's like, is your uterus floating?

447
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:42.440
Do you know where it is?
Should you be said to the asylum?

448
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:50.280
Yeah, medicine, God damn it. But now we get the DJ actual

449
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.280
DJ competition, which was the least
interesting part of the film to me because

450
00:40:53.320 --> 00:41:00.440
I was like, all of this
sounds the same, and go going on

451
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:07.840
to the final round is of course
Ria and Max I will not use this

452
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:14.719
DJ name because it's stupid. And
Max like, I don't know what he

453
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:22.639
played in the initial round because he
plays the feeling good song in the like

454
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:29.360
the final round, and Ria plays
a mix with like she is all these

455
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:36.440
visuals and her mother's singing, and
uh, she wins by a long shot.

456
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:45.519
She's telling a story, hers has
heart and creativity. Where Max is

457
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:50.880
is you know, it's fine because
you know Ria made it basically, but

458
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:57.679
also it's been sullied by Max.
The mediocrity of Max. So this is

459
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.360
this is a pretty class I love. Speaking as a white man, I

460
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.920
will say this is a pretty classic
white guy move of like it's good enough.

461
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:07.360
I'm definitely gonna win with this,
and then like somebody shows up something

462
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.400
way Betty, You're like, well, the judges are just prejudiced against me.

463
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.079
It can't possibly be that this thing
is better than the thing I've made.

464
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:22.159
It's probable. Like when when they
were releasing when they all those things

465
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:29.119
are coming out about the people the
court striking down affirmative action, somebody said

466
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:31.800
this is a boon for mediocre white
men everywhere, and I'm like, they're

467
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:39.440
not wrong. It is true,
but it's been such a struggle for me

468
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:46.960
to not talk about. I've been
watching all of these I've gotten into the

469
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:52.840
Swoop documentary channel, and I've been
watching all of these, like YouTube controversies

470
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:59.079
about people I have never heard of
before, something like got embroiled in a

471
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:04.000
controversy. But it's part and parcel
with that. I think there is always

472
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.599
this assumption that once people have millions
of followers, that they're untouchable because like,

473
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:15.280
and I guess that, and also
they sort of end up and I'm

474
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:19.559
referring just to these people who have
done like really crummy stuff, but they

475
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.079
end up resting on their laurels,
which only makes them more likely to do

476
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:29.880
something like sloppy or you know,
egregious. So I think altogether, when

477
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:35.280
there's that assumption that like too big
to lose, that it's going to lead

478
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:43.760
to a problem. Yeah, much
like don't hide your line in a bushel,

479
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.400
but don't like too close to that
sun. It's like I always say,

480
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:51.440
not even that, just like never
presume that you're untouchable, which I

481
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:53.960
guess it's don't fly too close to
the sun. I mean, is that

482
00:43:54.000 --> 00:44:02.280
how we're referring to It's not dadalus
Icarus? Thank you? Okay, so

483
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:10.000
obviously recommend this movie, Disney Fla. You know what this reminded. The

484
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:14.920
end scene reminded me of like a
much light, light lighter version of the

485
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:21.199
end of Teen Spirit. Oh.
Yes, this movie we covered years ago,

486
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.840
but I love it. Yeah,
except I was not openly sobbing at

487
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:32.719
the end of this movie. Yes, but like totally outside of the teen

488
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:39.800
girl talk Cannon. But you send
me that death Patel action movie, and

489
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:44.559
I'm trying to figure out a way
that we can like cover that. I

490
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:46.039
mean, I'm sure we can also
find a way to do a roadhouse.

491
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:51.840
Oh but June two is coming out. It's coming out in my birthday month,

492
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:54.719
So we're covering that for sure.
We're gonna pack me a sleeping bag

493
00:44:54.719 --> 00:45:00.000
of those movies arelong, but well, if you buy that popcorn holder,

494
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:06.480
you'll be fine. For those who
so frank, what are we doing next

495
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:08.760
week? I just want to talk
about the doom popcorn holder, which is

496
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:14.599
usually just don't know why you stick
your hand into the mall of a sandword

497
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:20.199
draw out your popcor I mean,
whoever came up with that, think about

498
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:25.000
how many levels of approval that popcorn
holder had to go through. They're going

499
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:32.840
to sell out? Is whoever,
like whatever Brazen team Greenlight that went through

500
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:38.599
the process of going through different samples
and prototypes, and they were like,

501
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:43.880
this one, we want it realistically
colored. We want I don't even know

502
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:46.960
what those like little arms celia things
would be called on the side, we

503
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:52.159
want a lot of those. We
want some people to not be able to

504
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:59.440
fit their hand into this. It's
like they they did not falter. I

505
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:01.559
feel like they did not hedge to
their bets. They were like one thousand

506
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:10.800
percent insane. Yeah, so okay, for my birthday month, we're doing

507
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:19.360
two movies that have not been released
yet. Lisa Frankenstein and Madam Web.

508
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:27.320
Madam Web is my fault. Thank
me later. I mean, Sissy,

509
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:30.239
you had no not I'm gonna say, I am going to thank you.

510
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:32.880
I am going to thank you because
that movie is a gift, because that's

511
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:38.480
going to be an hour of me
talking NonStop Spider Man dumb lore, like

512
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.880
I will be given this platform to
talk about Spider Man's dumb life and all

513
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:45.039
these people who are part of his
life. So thank you for that.

514
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.639
So I will thank you for that. I'll thank you for it now,

515
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:54.840
not later, but from February third, I want to do Teenage Mutant Turtles

516
00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:01.400
Mutant Mayhem, Okay, cool.
The cartoon one. It's the it's the

517
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:07.599
latest one that came out, and
it is it gives the original a run

518
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:09.280
for its money. Of how good
it is. I have only heard good

519
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:15.440
things about it. I mean it
has a phenomenal cast. Let me read

520
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:20.519
you some of the names in this. Seth Rogan, I nearly just said

521
00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:30.039
Kevin Eastman, like that's not rose
Byrne, Seth Rogan from uh A ed

522
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:36.800
a Berry from Bottoms having a great
year, and there John Cena as rock

523
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:42.480

as super Fly, Paul Rudd as
Mondo Gecko, Hannibal Barress as Genghis Frog.

525
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:54.639
Let's see, Uh, I'm not
really organized of all the other names,

526
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:01.079
there's one guy who's just listen to
Jeff row as a man who loves

527
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:08.559
being young and free to go place
this okay, that sounds good. Oh

528
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:13.840
my god, I didn't even realize
this was her. Natasha Dematrue, who

529
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:19.760
plays Naja on What We Do in
the Shadows, plays wing Nut. Oh

530
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:22.840
my god, I fucking love Natasha
Dematrue. She's so good as Naja.

531
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:30.039
I've only seen clips of that show, but it seems very funny. That

532
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:37.400
show is so so good. God. But yeah, so this is a

533
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.320
star stud cast and all of it
is on all of it is amazing.

534
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:50.199
Oh my god, Matt Barry's last
Low. It should be on Paramount Plus.

535
00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:53.800
Okay, cool. So, but
yeah, we recommend this film.

536
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:57.719
It goes down smooth, It's very
easy. It's a bit corny at parts,

537
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:02.920
but I like it rude. I
also recommend it. So if you
