Do they do? The the the the the the 6 00:04:15,280 --> 00:05:02,560 the the the the the the the the the the the Okay, the the 7 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:45,600 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 8 00:05:47,920 --> 00:06:08,120 do. I want to show off something that we're all proud of. Yo, 9 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,480 here we are. What's up with? The lighting is off? There? 10 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,120 We go that it needs to be bright because it's too dark. Welcome 11 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,600 time for Jay and Jamie movie show. We haven't done this in a long 12 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,759 time because we were on the cusp of mad love and I had to break 13 00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:34,879 Jamie out of the mental institute and we went on a cross country adventure. 14 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:39,680 We had a car wreck, just kidding, none of that happened. I 15 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:46,959 did wear my hair full frizz with riz. It's past sweet cream. What 16 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,879 is it now, it's freaking fabio, It's pirate or fabio full Fabio love. 17 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,839 We have achieved full Fabio anyway, you look all serious. You don't 18 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:08,399 like Fabia. I was just mas Maris, Yes, exactly. Let's go 19 00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:12,120 over this a little bit. I'm in too much of the screen. Turn 20 00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,759 here, there you go. All right. So Jamie's wearing her Sublime T 21 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,199 shirt because that's the closest to gen X that she had. I think that 22 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:28,639 counts. It's definitely an older Brother's band, yeah, right, because there's 23 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,920 like the boomers birth both the gen X and the Millennials. So yeah, 24 00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:39,439 eighties and nineties count for that. Yeah, and the Older Brother's band sounds 25 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,480 like a boomer Southern rock band, right. Yeah, it's like they were 26 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,600 a lesser known opener for the Doobie Brothers that never made it. Yeah, 27 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:55,800 the Older Brothers definitely. They sang about old rivers and weed. They like 28 00:07:55,839 --> 00:08:01,439 the DeBie Brothers. But like gen X is like Nirvana, who else for 29 00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:07,560 sure? Pretty much Chryl Crow eighties and nineties. Yeah, they all count 30 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:15,959 as gen X. And certain actors and actresses make the cut as essence of 31 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,480 gen X. And I would say we're talking about John Depp, We're talking 32 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,000 about Ethan Hawk, We're talking to Uma Thurman, We're talking with a rider, 33 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,959 all essence of gen X, Ben Stiller, Right, what is that? 34 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,799 I just dieate in your arms tonight. That's that's a gen X. 35 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,879 I guess anything for ladies, and isn't it. Don't be looking at the 36 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,120 chat. They're talking about your beautiful hair. Of course there are else you 37 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:50,080 thought that else will talk about. He said that you take what that sounds 38 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,679 like? That sounds like some freaking boomer products. It's the best Canteen hair 39 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,480 product onto some damn panting and panting. Yeah, Molly Ringwald's essence of gen 40 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,679 X to yeah, who else? Yes, she is all the all the 41 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,919 brat pack elis is he in any of these? No the brat pack? 42 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,720 Yeah. So, because we're not doing eighties, we're doing nineties drama edies, 43 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,000 al dramedies, right, yeah, don't you remember what we did? 44 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:30,279 Yeah? I remember Chasing Amy, Mad Love, Empire Records before Sunrise, 45 00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:35,799 Reality Bites, that's so good, and Beautiful Girls, which will we will 46 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:41,240 mention Chasing Amy and Beautiful Girls and then move on because they're all essence of 47 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,039 gen X. You don't remember Beautiful Girls with Uma Thurman and a young Natalie 48 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:52,200 Portman who has a crush on is it Clive Owen no, not Clive Owen. 49 00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:01,159 Remember vaguely, keep reminding me she they had this inappropriate crush when he 50 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,200 comes back to his hometown. Oh yeah, and then that's the only weird 51 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,200 part of the movie, only the reason that we mentioned it. You think 52 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:13,039 he's gonna get with Uma Thurman and she just like skips out of town. 53 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,559 Stop bring the chat, you're gonna get distracted. Beautiful girls. Well here, 54 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:22,399 let me pull it up. Since we'll briefly mention it. Chasing Amy 55 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,759 was cringe. We didn't finish Chasing Amy. It was too cringe gross. 56 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:39,559 All they talked about was yeah, gross stuff is it's all the beautiful girls? 57 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,759 Right? No, that's a dang prince. Maybe it's just beautiful girls. 58 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,039 This was an obscure This is it Matt Dylan? Right, so you 59 00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:00,360 got Matt Dylan. What is this gen x? She is princess? Yes? 60 00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:07,639 Right, so in this one, Timothy Hutton, that's so I couldn't 61 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:13,759 think of. Not Clive Owen. You got Rosie o'donald. Very gross. 62 00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:20,399 What happened to Rosie? Unbelievable relief, Shad Rosie O'Donnell is the comic relief 63 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:26,000 in this. You've got what Michael Rapaport as the horny man. Yeah, 64 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,919 you've got Timothy Hutton going back to his hometown because he can't make it as 65 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,039 a piano player in New York. And he decides, I'm gonna go back 66 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:43,080 and just be a normal, you know, small town dude working at the 67 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,720 factory. And then he meets his next door neighbor, Natalie Portman, who's 68 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,279 like thirteen. Yeah, and she has a crush on him when he comes 69 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,480 back. Very weird. Nothing happened, nothing happens, but it's just bizarre. 70 00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,679 He tries to think in his head that she's mature, Yeah, more 71 00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:05,279 mature than she is. And you got Matt Dillon over here being a player. 72 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,960 Everybody learns their lesson. It's fairly predictable but forgettable, right, and 73 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,399 so Uma Thurman doesn't end up being who he gets with. So anyway, 74 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:24,200 not much to it, just the weird element of the temptation, so to 75 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:30,559 speak, between Timothy Hutton and the way too young Natalie Portman character, which 76 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,080 I thought was an odd, odd element for just sort of a random nineties 77 00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:39,679 anyway, So that one didn't make the list, but it was an honorable 78 00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:43,399 mention for this genre. And Chasing Amy as we said was too gross. 79 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:52,519 Baffleck is not funny in it. There's some very bizarre scenes about debates about 80 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:58,200 the trinity. There's too many nineties Goates in it, right, very goe 81 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,639 all the dudes at Goates, Yes, and a very thin leather jacket. 82 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,919 And it's not very There was one funny part of the comic con at the 83 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:13,159 beginning, at the beginning with the nerds of the comic con, that was 84 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,240 kind of funny. Jason Lee. Everybody's forgotten Jason Lee. Without him, 85 00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:20,759 he became a scientologist. Right, Who's the Kevin Smith in the movie. 86 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,919 He's a very gen X MovieMaker. Oh, he's absolutely essential gen X filmmaker. 87 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:37,279 However, we're not focusing on straight comedies. We're looking for dramedies. 88 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,279 So that's why we chose today's selection. And why do we choose this? 89 00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:48,879 We want to get into the psyche of the gen X. How do they 90 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,600 think? What are their motivations, what are their traumas, what are their 91 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,600 positive aspects? Why is that because the Boomers will soon be in are presently 92 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,799 past the torch too. The next crop of overlords, namely the gen X 93 00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:09,039 overlords, will they be benevolent leaders. Will they be failures like the boomers? 94 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:16,759 Will they do better? We'll have to see as we bequeath our failty 95 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:22,200 to our new lords. What are you there? I think they're the older, 96 00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:26,480 like I said, the older siblings of this whole dynamic one that was 97 00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:35,519 like a little neglected. I'm sure gen X would say that they were the 98 00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:39,279 first latch key kids, and so they had to do a lot of growing 99 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:48,240 up and parentalization of themselves, and I think that comes out. And then 100 00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:54,440 a lot of just kind of being lost and not wanting to be like your 101 00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,919 parents is a common theme. And a lot of these like we hang out 102 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,639 and we don't we don't hustle and grind like the Boomers. We just kind 103 00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:05,679 of like think about things. They're very existential thinkers. Yeah, this is 104 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,279 the Ethan Hawk character in Before Sunrise. Yeah, Sunset Sunrise Sunrise. Okay, 105 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,840 and I've not seen this trilogy. We've only seen the Jamie might have 106 00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:16,960 seen the other ones. I don't remember if you've seen them. No, 107 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,519 Okay, so we've only seen the first of this famous trilogy by link Later. 108 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,559 And that's relevant too because Alex of course is in two link Later films, 109 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:33,360 So Richard Linklater is gonna be another essence of gen X film film buff 110 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:37,679 film directors. But so we want to understand where they're coming from their mindset, 111 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,799 and what better way to do that than to find the essential gen X 112 00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:48,440 films that deal with love, relationships, philosophy, existential angst from the nineties. 113 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,120 We'll kick it off with Mad Love, which is not a very good 114 00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:58,559 movie. So we're starting with the worst. This is not everybody's forgotten chrystll 115 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,960 Donald. Remember the controversey that he paid like ten thousand dollars to have his 116 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,960 cod piece and Batman be significantly bigger. I never heard. Yeah, this 117 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,480 was a controversy in the nineties which they were all making fun of him because 118 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,399 he paid to have the cod piece look bigger than was it George Clooney? 119 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:19,320 Was he was with George Clooney, Right, I would have paid to have 120 00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:26,399 the script not be so ho m ower rodd it the I don't remember the 121 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,679 Batman with his with George Clooney? Is it is it skittles pretty well, 122 00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,799 like just like suggesting weird things, you know. At the time, I 123 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,399 wouldn't have thought about that, but looking back, I'm sure it was right, 124 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:41,159 Like, I didn't even know in the nineties, I was too innocent. 125 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:45,480 It was very I was too innocent to know that Interview of the Vampire 126 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,639 was all freaking gay, powdered toast Man, remember that who you cling to 127 00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:52,840 his bottom and run and stimpy. He's like, they're just being funny, 128 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,799 though, that's I'm talking about, Like Interview of the Vampire is explicitly skittles. 129 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,039 Yeah, but I didn't recognize that. I wish we could go back 130 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,240 to, you know, a more innocent time. But so this is a 131 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:11,359 kind of Romeo Juliette story and what really wanted to tap into the alt vibe 132 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:18,319 of teenagers older or I should say gen X sort of graduating and going into 133 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,599 college around the time in the mid nineties. So this is nineteen ninety five. 134 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,680 We have the total nineties essential soundtrack, We've got Nirvana, We've got 135 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,880 all these kinds of characters, We've got other staples of nineties gen X, 136 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,839 like Matthew Lillard. I mean, all we're lacking is basically Sketele Rick and 137 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,519 Jamie Kennedy, Right, yeah, we would have been like essence of But 138 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,160 so it's a Romeo juliet story where you have this sort of middle classish dude 139 00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,319 who lives I think we're in Oregon. Seattle. They love to set these 140 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,519 nineties films in Seattle, Oregon. This was part of the grunge scene. 141 00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:56,640 I don't know why we're supposed to think so that Seattle was so cool in 142 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:03,079 the nineties. Maybe Nirvana why is it? And Soundgarden and there was a 143 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,200 tech Yeah, there was a tech phenomena at that time then before silicon silicon 144 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,839 valid correct, Seattle and gen X was like one of the first generations to 145 00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:19,359 make like going to therapy as an adolescent thing and also being put on different 146 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:26,680 chemicals. Like Breakfast Club is kind of not touches on that a little bit, 147 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,880 but this one is explicitly like she is cuckoo. Now there's a huge 148 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:37,759 element in this about big pharmaceutical medication. Yeah, that's actually a plot that 149 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:45,480 you needn't dare step between someone in their meds, and that's cryst O'donald's chief 150 00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:49,880 sin here in this film is to step between somebody in their mads and he 151 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,759 thinks he knows better for the sake of love, right, but turns out, 152 00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:59,119 no, you don't understand this chick is like basically whack a doodle institutionalized 153 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,519 on a regular base. And the fact that she's from a wealthy family doesn't 154 00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:08,279 mean that she's not whack adoodle. So, like I said, we've got 155 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:14,640 Romeo Juliet story. You've got also the class distinction. He's upper middle class. 156 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,960 Drew Barrymore is from very wealthy class, right, And so she lives 157 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,480 across the lake where the richies live. He lives over on middle class side 158 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,960 of the lake. They begin to flirt and have fun, and they start 159 00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:30,880 dating, and she is off the hook. She's just like, Okay, 160 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,400 let's skip school, let's pull the fire alarm, let's go do she does 161 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,119 the most. She has no governor self governor for self harm. What's the 162 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:47,039 word I'm looking for where you have a you don't have the desire or the 163 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,880 necessary programming to like stop at a certain moment. There's a word I'm looking 164 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,240 for. Well, she's the ultimate manic pixie dream girl. Correct, that's 165 00:19:56,279 --> 00:20:03,079 part of this. Yes, and remember in the nineties the Volkswagen Beetles were 166 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,519 such a thing. Yeah, she she has one of these. Correct. 167 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:11,359 Let's look at some of the trailer here. You've got Voyeur Chrys O'Donnell over 168 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,119 here peeping on her. Remember he starts creeping on her. He looks at 169 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,680 her through Yeah, he's over here looking at her like, oh yeah, 170 00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:21,079 let me see what what the richies are up to in the bedroom. Oh, 171 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,680 she's, you know, changing her clothes. This is not him. 172 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:30,079 Look, this is when she's at the library. But then, yeah, 173 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:36,480 here's her beetle. So she's got her Drew Barrymore beetle wearing that nineties baby 174 00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:41,400 doll dress, baby doll dress and the stocking socks. Right, you got 175 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:47,519 Matthew Lillard with some nice hair. You've got Matthew exactly. Totally zero cool 176 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:53,920 baby. Anyway, this this is another phenomena that occurred that we saw in 177 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,319 the in the nineties. Mannic Pixie dream Girl is almost an archetype. Okay, 178 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,200 this is like when Owner Ryder in Reality bites. This is Drew Barrymore 179 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:12,359 and mad Love. This is oh the girl in Empire Records. Who's the 180 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,880 one that's suicidal. Remember her, she's man At Pixie dream Girl. Remember, 181 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,160 they have to have a ritual for her where she undergoes her death so 182 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,119 that they could hear how everybody's talking about how awesome she was and they missed 183 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:33,440 her. Yeah. Uh so mental problems is a theme for the adolescence of 184 00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:36,039 gen X. But the point of this movie is not just that. It's 185 00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:37,599 a great point about Heather's. Heathers would work too, but Heather's we thought 186 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,240 was a little too satirical and not enough of a of a of a dramedy. 187 00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:48,640 But yeah, we've talked about Heathers many times. But the point of 188 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,720 this movie really is, No, you need your meds, right, Like, 189 00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:55,640 what did Jordan Peterson? Be sure and take your meds? Do not 190 00:21:55,839 --> 00:22:00,119 take your meds. I noticed in your notes that there's a lot of butterflies, 191 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,759 and there are monarchy. There's monarch imagery throughout this movie. Yeah, 192 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:10,319 Now, every time a butterflies used doesn't necessarily mean monarch mind control. It's 193 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,599 a classic symbol for transformation. She's also got those damn nineties eyebrows. Yeah, 194 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,400 look at those plucked nineties eyebrows. Like so in the nineties, every 195 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,160 chick had these like super thin, plucked up eyebrows. Do they grow back 196 00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:26,640 or they stay like that? No, that's why they sell you eyebrow serums. 197 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:32,799 Really. Yeah, anyway, so there's not a lot to be said 198 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:36,519 about this movie, except that she's diagnosed as bipolar. He keeps he breaks 199 00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,200 her out of the facility. You got boom her dad over here, Like 200 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,559 why is he trying to keep her out of the you know, keep her 201 00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:48,960 out of the mental institute. Chryst o'dnald thinks he knows better. They go 202 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,759 on this road trip they get this idea. Well Elope, okay. And 203 00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:57,960 this is funny because it's on the trip where Chris o'donald gets to realize she's 204 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,480 actually insane because she has multiple mental breakdowns, once at a restaurant and it's 205 00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:08,200 not cute anymore. And then uh, he wakes up and she's like plastered 206 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:15,440 their Mexican rental apartment with like magazine magazine images with two paste. Yeah, 207 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:21,599 she's gluing the apartment with magazine images and it's like all seeing eyes. And 208 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,359 what they don't tell you is like you get the impression, Okay, has 209 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,960 she been sex abused? Right? It Also it almost seems like she's gone 210 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:36,960 through some kind of s a and that's why she's so manic and her here's 211 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,119 her now is this her mag You can see this is one of her manic 212 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,680 breakdowns here, but she plasters the whole room with like eyes. She cuts 213 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,160 the eyes out of magazines, plasters and everywhere. She's like, everyone's looking 214 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:56,279 at me. Everyone's looking at me, And you actually start wondering to wait 215 00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:00,400 a minute, does she actually have some sort of literal trump And that's like 216 00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:03,079 the underlying theme of the film. But this is the height of grunge, 217 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,240 by the way, it is nineteen ninety five. The whole soundtracks basically grunge, 218 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:15,200 and it's all just really to promote psycho psychoactive help and the big pharma 219 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:21,599 message of prozac. Well did you notice with the eyes and people watching her? 220 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:25,960 He was watching her through the telescope and she caught him and instead of 221 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:27,640 being like, stay away, creep, she's like, oh, okay, 222 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,359 I'll be your girlfriend. Well, at first she's creeped out, but then 223 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,839 she likes it. Yeah, so we get the impression that again, maybe 224 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,880 something odd has happened to her and her dad. I think it says he's 225 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:45,039 a military industrial complex Boeing executive. So is this a monarch pixie dream girl? 226 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,799 I mean it's implied, but not explicit. I mean, I mean, 227 00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:53,880 why would you have the dad being an executive at a giant military industrial 228 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:59,480 complex, you know, war entity. He could be he could be working 229 00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:03,240 for you know, Microsoft or something. You said, angry boomer dad energy. 230 00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:07,279 So yeah, that's a big thing in gen X. They're always completing. 231 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,359 My dad's so angry. My parents are so miserable. I don't want 232 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,279 to be like them. Right, And of course, you know Drew Barrymore. 233 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,920 We just covered her with Scio Cinema and Firestarter and the Long Listory, 234 00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:22,759 the Long Hiss and the Long the long list in history of Drew Barrymore films 235 00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:29,279 that have the theme, you know, of trauma mind control. Again, 236 00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:36,640 fire started being a key example. Right. There's also a kind of a 237 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,279 bodying Bonnie and Clyde element to this, right, when they run off and 238 00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:45,480 they think they're going to be like criminals, and she keeps having her manic 239 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,880 episodes when she's over stimulated. Her eye collage scene I think was very telling 240 00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:52,279 eyeing through the telescope. Eyes pop up a lot in this right, which 241 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:59,000 is again is very bizarre. When they keep mentioning Castor and Pollux the twins, 242 00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:03,640 so it's almost like they think that they're twin flames. And I don't 243 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:12,599 really understand the purpose of the astrological references unless this perhaps relates to her occult 244 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:18,440 programming, if she is in fact a monarch person. I mean, why 245 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,920 would they keep bringing up castor and pollocks and the constellations and the twins? 246 00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:27,039 Right, they said she's bipolar, but they didn't really say how or why. 247 00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:30,759 And this is the beginning of the chemical imbalance you put here error, 248 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,920 Yeah, like, oh, we don't know why, right, so we 249 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,839 wouldn't look at the abuse perhaps from the father, and the movie does imply 250 00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:45,799 that her father's abusive, right this executive, But instead they said, no, 251 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,160 she just has a chemical imbalance, and you're a bad person, chrys 252 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,319 o'donald, because you tried to wide night and save her from this relationship. 253 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,279 It actually, it turns out he's kind of right, yeah, like cryst 254 00:26:56,279 --> 00:27:00,000 o'donald's actually kind of got the right picture here. He's almost stumbling upon the 255 00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:06,680 fact that she might be like an abused you know, MK victim by this 256 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:11,920 military social complex goon. But they shut that ship down pretty quick and make 257 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,160 sure to let him know, no, this is this is mad love of 258 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:22,680 teenage idiocy, right, yes, And so it's very take your marriage, 259 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:29,519 like you said, Romeo and Juliet and they're ripped apart by chemical imbalances. 260 00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:33,799 No, they're ripped apart by the system. The system try and keep this 261 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,400 apart. Yeah, which is ironically it is kind of true, Like it's 262 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,240 actually kind of true. But that's the thing, though, is that it 263 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:47,599 never addresses the underlying problem. It's always about getting her the medications to treat 264 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,880 the symptoms. Yeah, well, what's the underlying trauma that causes her to 265 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,440 be this way? Exactly? It's the misdirection. All right, let's move 266 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,400 on because that movie is again not very good, So again we're moving up 267 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,240 the scale as the movie is get a little bit better. That doesn't mean 268 00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:07,680 that they're necessarily all that great. I do think Reality Bites and Before Sunrise 269 00:28:07,759 --> 00:28:12,279 are good. They're they're decent. Reality Bites held up better than I expected. 270 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,480 Empire Records as not that great of a film. It's almost like they 271 00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:22,400 conceived of this as a TV show and they thought it was going to be 272 00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:26,839 a recurring series. It feels like the pilot of a nineties want to be 273 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:32,319 sitcom dramedy and it just never really manifested, and it was really trying to 274 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:40,799 capture the essence of the Seattle record store, independent music scene, the grunge 275 00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:44,079 scene as well. It's not just grunge though, because you have, you 276 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,759 know, sort of a cast of goofy characters that like all types of film 277 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,759 of musical genres, they do have a funny character who's kind of like a 278 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,880 it's kind of like a Michael Hutchins mixed with I don't know, like George 279 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,799 Michael. Do you remember the guy? It's his day. He comes there 280 00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:07,799 every every year or so to sell his records. It's in our notes here. 281 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,839 But so you'll have a young Renee Zellweger, we have liv Tyler again, 282 00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:17,160 essence of gen x he Rex Manning day. Correct. Yeah, so 283 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,559 this is like in the nineties. I don't they probably don't do this anymore, 284 00:29:19,839 --> 00:29:26,319 right, but in the nineties you would have like a musician or a 285 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,599 pop star or somebody would have like a big day where you could come kind 286 00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:33,920 of like kind of like an an author does a book signing, right, 287 00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:36,440 like, all, let's go meet Stephen King and get our book signed, 288 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,920 you know. But here it's this fictional sort of Rex Manning character. That 289 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:44,440 part was kind of clever. I thought that was a funny character. But 290 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:49,200 overall, it's just not that great of a movie. The store becomes the 291 00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:53,440 sort of replacement family for each of these characters. So everybody's family situation is 292 00:29:53,519 --> 00:30:00,119 basically totally dysfunctional, and the store is the replacement family. But they all 293 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,559 don't really realize that until they have the threat of losing the store. And 294 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:10,359 you've got this idiot guy who's sort of the rebellious dumb guy who thinks, 295 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:18,000 I'll take the stor's weekly deposit and I'll go gamble it in Reno and see 296 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,480 if I can get enough money to Atlantic City excuse me, Atlantic City right 297 00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:25,680 to keep it. So is this not I thought this was? This isn't 298 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,559 New Jersey. Oh, excuse me. I thought it was. I thought 299 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:30,119 it was a Orlando excuse me. So this is not this is Jersey. 300 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:36,319 Pardon me. Yeah. So the idiot character thinks he's gonna win all this 301 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,599 money back to save the record store because he hears this being bought up, 302 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:45,519 bought off by these corporate elites. They're gonna turn it into like a Tower 303 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:51,319 Records or a what's another one of those nineties chains that popped up Tower. 304 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,799 And this is the first time we see that kind of thing, like corporatization 305 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:03,599 and then seeing the soullessness of like big conglomerates taking over their neighborhood businesses. 306 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,559 It's this guy's the idiot guy, right with the Caesar cut, the George 307 00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:14,160 Clooney Caesar cut, which everybody I had that the haircut in the nineties too, 308 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,000 everybody had their haircut. A lot of these gen X movies too, 309 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,359 are very conversation driven, Like the thing is just kind of like a set 310 00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:30,839 to have this dialogue of thoughts between them right in Empire Records, I think 311 00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:34,839 is like the backdrop for just like a lot of important conversations that young people 312 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,480 are having about it. That's a really good point because most films nowadays are 313 00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:45,920 not narrative or or they're not a conversation driven. I mean think about you 314 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,599 know, pulp fiction, right, even pulp fiction with its sort of inane, 315 00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:56,640 mundane, idiotic conversations, it's still convert it's still script driven, right. 316 00:31:56,079 --> 00:32:00,960 Clerks is like that. I think that's a really good exam that's a 317 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,640 really good point. And then you got this sort of idiotic goofy character who's 318 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:15,680 the he's the punk guy. You've got the pop star like liv Tyler is 319 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,519 obsessed with the Michael Hutchins type of pop guy. This guy's the punk guy. 320 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,279 They all have their different genres. Well, speaking of last Key kids. 321 00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:29,799 So this group of people that work at this place, they all treat 322 00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:35,480 it as a second home because they have problems. Exactly dysfunctional and neglected. 323 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,720 This is the Hodgepodge family that they're looking for, because no one's literally at 324 00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:45,000 home because the boomers were still working or they're still out. So this is 325 00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:47,440 Lucas. He's the one that blows all the money for the weekly deposit, 326 00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:51,960 which means that they're going to lose the record store even even sooner because he 327 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,400 thought he could win it through gambling. I forget this guy. This guy's 328 00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:00,839 like a nineties sort of Italian staple guy, but I forget his name. 329 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,880 He's in a bunch of different things. I'm trying to find the So then 330 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,920 you've got liv Tyler, who's sort of the the one that everybody has a 331 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:15,079 crush on, but she has a crush on the stupid pop star guy anyway. 332 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,079 So there's not a whole lot really that interesting in this film, except 333 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:23,279 that it is a very good slice of what pop culture was about in the 334 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:34,480 nineties, and there is one bizarre esoteric element to this film, which is 335 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,240 the they're all pretty much idiotic. I'm trying to find the girl that shaves 336 00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:42,960 her head. Okay, so this chick, right, is she the Gilmore 337 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,599 Girls chick? I always get all these nineties people mixed up anyway, but 338 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,960 she's in a bunch of you know, nineties things, and she represents she's 339 00:33:50,039 --> 00:33:54,400 the manic pixie dream girl who's essentially, you know, tempted to unlive herself, 340 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,160 and she's like a super drama queen. She also I think they speak 341 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:04,079 about her, you know, on meds or whatever, and she's always just 342 00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:09,280 she's like the ultimate sort of narcissistic, self absorbed, manic pixie dream girl 343 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:15,800 who has to undergo a death, burial and resurrection ceremony in the film, 344 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:22,639 which rehabilitates her. I guess it's very bizarre. But the only reason that 345 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,039 all these people are having these problems is that the film is actually saying that 346 00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:30,559 it's because of extreme dysfunctional problems at home. And so I think in her 347 00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:36,039 case, were her dad's abusive or she's been abused as well, and so 348 00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:42,719 this is her surrogate family. But interesting that that's a recurring theme here. 349 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,760 It is, here's her resurrection ritual where she lays down and they all do 350 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:52,400 a eulogy, lamenting what would happen if she died? Right? So, 351 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:59,519 anyway, first time at sex lib Tyler, there's Rex Manning in there and 352 00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:05,320 she tried to she's seducing Rex Manning, but he something happened in Renees Elwiger. 353 00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:08,639 Well, she'd found out he was he was like slimy and gross, 354 00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:12,320 and then she didn't like him, and then he goes and sleeps with Renes 355 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,679 Elwiger. Right, Yeah, But then there's a younger kid who keeps robbing 356 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,360 the store and then they teach him a lesson and he becomes part of the 357 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,159 family. And so it's almost like, I don't know, like youth like 358 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:31,360 youth gangs can find familial solace if they if they find a record store. 359 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,960 Also, I think that was a very big gen X thing too, because 360 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,960 they were trying to make another family that wasn't so messed up. Well that's 361 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,320 the point right now. The story course is that they're able to save the 362 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,679 record store by all working together and fighting the corporate man. And I mean 363 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,559 that was kind of the theme. I think of a lot of grunge and 364 00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:59,400 alt music, all of the alternative scene of that time. The whole premise 365 00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:02,960 was corporations are bad and they're they're screening everybody over and we need to do 366 00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:07,119 our own thing, which is actually correct, Like I mean, the essential 367 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:13,960 ethos of this whole genre grunge as well, was spot on. But the 368 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,719 problem is that almost right away, all of these movements, whether it's the 369 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,760 grunge movement in the nineties, or whether it's independent music which evolves out of 370 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,599 grunge and alternative indie indie rock right in the late nineties early two thousands, 371 00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:31,440 and it's almost all immediately bought up and bought out by the corporations. So 372 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:37,079 it's a noble sentiment, but it's it's just almost it's almost always immediately foiled 373 00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:44,039 by the man. What do you think I really wanted to live Tyler's outfit 374 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:51,599 back in the day, her skirts, skirt with the sweater, when I 375 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,639 was twelve years older. Whenever this came out, I thought that was the 376 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:59,119 cutest thing. You did you want Rex Manning? No, no, you 377 00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:01,239 wouldn't try to say to Douce the Rex Menning with the skirt in the switter 378 00:37:01,639 --> 00:37:06,800 No too old. I think you know that like all of the girls at 379 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:12,400 this time wore this right, you had Clueless Elizabeth Shu wears the same outfit 380 00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:19,760 and the Saint So yeah, this was like a super nineties girl outfit for 381 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,559 sure. Anything else to say about Empire Records? What do you think of 382 00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:24,480 it? I don't think it's that great. No, it was kind of 383 00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:30,400 a mid movie. They do bring up film school. One of the guys 384 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,039 wants to go to film school, and film school comes up in Reality Bites 385 00:37:35,199 --> 00:37:38,199 as well as a key element of the narrative. That's because in the nineties 386 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,880 everyone talked about going to film school. I'm not joking like I had multiple 387 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,920 friends. I had one friend that actually did it. He didn't actually end 388 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,639 up making any films, but everybody in the nineties, well, okay, 389 00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:51,960 wait to go to film school, dude. It was like a super popular 390 00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:54,920 thing in the nineties because documentaries was like the hot that's when they were starting 391 00:37:54,920 --> 00:38:00,599 to get popular. And in Reality Bites, remember is that unette? Is 392 00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:07,000 it is it Steve's on or is it Jenine Garofolo that's making the documentary? 393 00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:12,559 It's Winoda writer taking clips and Ben Stiller takes her clips and cells. Oh 394 00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:16,239 Soona's making the documentary. Yeah, okay, that's right, and that has 395 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,119 all the things we've just been talking about. Well. Also, unliving is 396 00:38:20,159 --> 00:38:23,960 a big theme here and reality TV, so you do reality by absolutely right. 397 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,119 So this one is way ahead of its time, a lot of important 398 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,679 elements. As Jamie just noted, this is right when reality TV was first 399 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,320 popping off getting really popular. I remember at this time, when it was 400 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:44,760 really kicking off, you had road Rules, uh, Real World and then 401 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,000 Roll road Rules, and I, believe it or not, I was trying 402 00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:54,119 to remember Real World was actually way earlier than I remembered. I thought it 403 00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:58,679 was mid nineties. It's more like ninety two or three. And then you 404 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,920 get road Rules the spell off of that, which was later nineties, and 405 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,679 everybody can remember. I remember all the not all of them. I remember 406 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,920 Pedro, remember him. He's the gay guy that had aids Pedro and they 407 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,960 were following Pedro's story of I'm serious, I know. I remember John was 408 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,239 the guy that was the country musician, the Christian They all made fun of 409 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:22,840 him. Yeah. So they are countering the boomer culture of a fake world 410 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,599 where everything is scripted and so they're saying, we're not interested in the boomer 411 00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:31,960 culture. We are wanting our real stories of real people. But they don't 412 00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:46,039 realize that they are also contributing to making another fake counterculture because they're adding skittles. 413 00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:52,039 They're adding like all of these different ethnicities in the same house, like 414 00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:53,599 this is like some kind of microcosm of real life. When it's not. 415 00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:00,519 It's like alternative living styles, which exactly was promoted by the white white papers 416 00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:02,559 written by the Sanford Research Institute. They were saying in the nineteen seventies, 417 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,960 as we roll out the technocracy, we're going to promote all manner and forms 418 00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:13,159 of alternative ways of living. And so I think, although not everybody in 419 00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:19,679 the alternative music movement intended this, alternative music played into this narrative coming out 420 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,599 of the think tanks and the foundations to create everything as an alternative, and 421 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,800 this really set the stage for where we are now. By everybody who's now 422 00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:35,360 existing in some weird, bizarre fetish or all thing, I'm special because I'm 423 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,760 in this. This is my consumer identity that I've chosen. I identify as 424 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:45,079 a bird, I'm a furry. All that stuff couldn't have happened without this 425 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:52,320 phase where you have people adopting the first phases of alternative. I mean you 426 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,320 could say, okay, the sixties and hippies were an earlier version of this. 427 00:40:54,639 --> 00:41:00,960 It's just new versions and new levels and layers of the plan that's rolled 428 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,880 out. So in the in the nineties, this key figure here by played 429 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,119 by Ethan Hawk, Troy Dyer dire hello, Troy Dyer, philosopher, is 430 00:41:10,159 --> 00:41:14,480 a philosophy student. It's very busy, so all of this. I didn't 431 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,920 pick up on this until we recently watched it. He's seen reading Heidegger as 432 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,719 well as a bunch of other very unexpected technical philosophy books. So that was 433 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,159 interesting. But you're he made a great point, right that the premise of 434 00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:32,960 the film is that the characters want to get You're gonna be in the shot. 435 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,960 The characters want to get to reality. What is reality? What's real? 436 00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:42,000 Dude? Yeah? I remember the nineties. I would even see bumper 437 00:41:42,039 --> 00:41:45,599 stickers like alt indie people. It was popular for them to have bumper stickers 438 00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:51,719 like what is real? What is real? Man? Right? And so 439 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:57,519 when Onda Ryder thinks I'm going to film a documentary about my real life and 440 00:41:57,639 --> 00:42:01,800 that will be authentic because we're all searching for authenticity. There's always in a 441 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:07,599 lot of these gen X all films, the existential search for authenticity man, 442 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:14,440 So they're very influenced by existential's philosophy, hence him reading Heidiger. And what 443 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:19,800 makes her life interesting enough to make a documentary is her going through her parents' 444 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,960 divorce. So that's what kind of spurred her on to go to film school 445 00:42:23,039 --> 00:42:29,039 and do all these things, is because this is also the generation of the 446 00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:32,760 great boomer divorce. Well, remember she also works at a network station, 447 00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:37,559 and her network job, she can't stand it because it's so fake. And 448 00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:42,480 she's got this local TV host boomer who's really arrogant and rude to her. 449 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,760 Remember he's always talking down to her and he's really mean, and she's like, 450 00:42:45,119 --> 00:42:49,159 hey, I have really good ideas about how we could update the show 451 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,360 make it more appealing to a hip or younger audience. And the boomer guys 452 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:58,079 just like I don't listen to women. Shut up. Yeah. Yeah. 453 00:42:58,199 --> 00:43:01,320 So she's graduating college and Houston. I thought this was an interesting setting for 454 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,199 a movie. You don't get too many movies set in Houston. It is 455 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,760 a very odd setting. For for a movie, and she's conflicted then her 456 00:43:09,639 --> 00:43:14,960 reality story about herself for documentary, which by the way, is very narcissistic. 457 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,880 I'm going to make a documentary about myself because I'm on the search for 458 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,159 authenticity in my own life. Super super narcissistic. But she is. She's 459 00:43:23,199 --> 00:43:27,599 the manic pixie dream girl, and Ethan Hawk is the manic pixie dream dude 460 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,159 to her. Yes, that just reminded me of that kid in American Beauty 461 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:37,000 who films everything in like the paper bag blowing. And it's all very, 462 00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:45,480 like you said, narcissistic. And it's also this this sort of voyeuristic preparation 463 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:52,960 for where we are now that everything is live streamed right our I r L 464 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:59,000 streaming right or Twitch streaming, or the idea that I need to post every 465 00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:01,840 aspect of my life life for the public to see, right. You couldn't 466 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:07,800 have had any of that without this important phase of reality TV and what you 467 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,920 see Winona Writer's character embodying here. So, just like I was talking about 468 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,800 with Scott on a History Homo's podcast, and by the way, that means 469 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,639 Homo Sapien, not History Homosexuals, but History Homo's podcast, we had a 470 00:44:19,679 --> 00:44:22,280 great conversation that the other day Scott and I and we were talking about Gene 471 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:28,639 Hackman's character in the nineteen seventies film The conversation. He's an archetype, he's 472 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:34,840 a he's on the cusp of Panopticon, surveilled man. That's what his character 473 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,599 represents. Guess what, so does Winona writer here, she represents the future 474 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:45,719 of Panopticon. Everybody's being filmed at all times. That's a preparation for the 475 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:52,679 world that we live in now. But the drama kicks off. We have 476 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:58,480 to mention Garafa Hoo because who she slept with sixty six people, her body 477 00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:02,159 count, her body count is sixty and she is very open about this. 478 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,719 She's always talking about it, and she keeps thinking she's getting AIDS. And 479 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,840 that's interesting because of the nineteen nineties, AIDS was talked about all the time 480 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:14,480 everywhere. This is odd because and we know this, if we know the 481 00:45:14,599 --> 00:45:17,639 history of it, did a Fauci He was the one that was the architect 482 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,719 of this nineties psyop. I'm not saying that everything about AIDS is a sie 483 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:28,199 I'm saying that the fear of this was a syop. It's admitted now right, 484 00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:32,320 you know this, right, So how could we train people with fear 485 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,840 through AIDS. I'm not saying that there's not something to it. I'm just 486 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:42,400 saying that Fauci's role in this was very crucial and was being studied as a 487 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,480 preparation as we now know for the last three four years of Kouf exactly scaring 488 00:45:46,519 --> 00:45:55,719 people through a viral issue. And then we get the drama element that's introduced 489 00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:05,239 through the Ben Stiller character. So we have a very responsible, well established 490 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:10,599 Jewish guy who has his ducks in a row, and he begins to court 491 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:19,239 and flirt with Winona Ryder, who still is infatuated with the lay about roused 492 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,760 about Troy Dyer mannic pixie dream dude. And so the question is, and 493 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:30,760 who will she choose, the responsible corporate man or the bad boy lay about 494 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:38,800 philosophy man. You just let me think of a lot of the plant parenthoods 495 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:45,119 and stuff. We like getting footholds in neighborhoods through the AIDS testing and the 496 00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:47,920 young kids. And it was almost like a rite of passage that they talked 497 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:53,199 about have you had your test? Yeah? And like the chat says, 498 00:46:53,440 --> 00:47:00,079 Magic Johnson kick popped off in the nineties. Exactly right. Yeah, he 499 00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:07,119 was huge for the whole you know, image and persona of aids. Band 500 00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:12,880 AIDS won't give you aids. So it's a meta documentary. Like you said, 501 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,039 Ethan Hawk is the near duel mooch, and she's kind of social justice 502 00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:19,440 before it was such a thing. Oh that's a great point. Yeah, 503 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,239 she's social where why Barbie is bad and like gender roles and stuff like that. 504 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:30,920 Yes, she's she's proto woke. At one point, what she has 505 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:37,239 to work at Wiener Schnitzel and her bosses in the David Spade David Spade. 506 00:47:37,039 --> 00:47:43,280 Yeah, and so she's humiliated because she she feels that she's due, you 507 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:49,960 know, this media attention due to her ground baking breaking work. And then 508 00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:53,760 she thinks she's finally hit jackpot when she starts dating Ben Stiller, and ben 509 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,679 Steller's like, hey, look, I know a way to get you in 510 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,960 your project on you know, major And what she doesn't understand is that he 511 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:07,719 wants to corporatize it and change it, so her whole project gets revamped. 512 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:13,199 It's not an actual Reality Bites documentary. It's turned into a TV show called 513 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,159 Reality Bites, which is just little bits of reality. It's not her actual 514 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:22,559 documentary. Also is another interesting element, not just the jening Gerofelho character sleeping 515 00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:28,400 with sixty six people, but the steves On character who doesn't want to come 516 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,840 out as Skittles. So we have the thing again. Now Skittles is being 517 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:36,079 normalized in the nineteen nineties, and you shouldn't be afraid to come out. 518 00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:45,639 That's crucial to the narrative as well. So they're making a comment about how 519 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,480 these jobs are a little dehumanizing, like working at Wiener Schel, fighting about 520 00:48:50,679 --> 00:48:54,519 if you have to wear the hat or not. So yeah, they have 521 00:48:54,639 --> 00:49:00,519 a point that the corporations take the soul out of everything, and they also 522 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:06,239 make you into some kind of cartoon character. But what's always, I guess 523 00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:14,639 absurd about especially nineties even critiques of corporate culture is that it's almost like the 524 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,079 film version of hot topic. It's always coming from a corporation, which is 525 00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:24,679 part of the system exactly. So movie counter culture is the film equivalent of 526 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:30,400 hot topic, because you can't have a hot topic without a corporation. That's 527 00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:34,760 the mall, right, promoting all the other corporations to you at the mall. 528 00:49:35,079 --> 00:49:38,559 So it's manufactured fake rebellion, and that's really what's going on in the 529 00:49:38,599 --> 00:49:44,000 movie, but of course the characters never recognized that. And here's Wiener Dude, 530 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,000 So there's David Spade as her boss at Wiener Dude, you know, 531 00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:52,800 making her wear the hat. And essentially it's just sort of them too, 532 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:58,880 walking around and not really being clear on whether they're dating or not, smoking 533 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:04,400 cigarettes and drinking coffe in every scene. So many cigarettes in every scene. 534 00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:07,840 I mean, it's like, you think you thought Don Draper was smoking cigarettes 535 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:13,000 and drinking He's nothing against Troy Dyer and went on a Rider right now. 536 00:50:13,199 --> 00:50:17,559 This movie also has one of the most famous scenes that encapsulates the nineteen nineties 537 00:50:17,639 --> 00:50:22,320 as well, and this is the scene when Troy has left town to go 538 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:29,360 ten two I think is dying mom uh, and you know when on a 539 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:34,079 Rider still likes him, and she doesn't really like Ben Stiller, but she 540 00:50:34,199 --> 00:50:37,719 doesn't know who to choose, and she's laying around and she starts kind of 541 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,760 going crazy because she's watching like and this part is actually pretty funny because she's 542 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,360 watching all the nineties like infomercials that come on, like the psychics that would 543 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:51,519 come on, like Deon Warwick. She starts going crazy. A nineties thing 544 00:50:51,639 --> 00:50:58,119 is the multi hundred dollars phone bill, Like one time you messed up the 545 00:50:58,199 --> 00:51:00,639 own people and your parents, Like what on called one nine hundred party line? 546 00:51:00,679 --> 00:51:02,840 One nine hundred party line? That happened to me, Mary, she 547 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,519 called the party line one time. So that's just a bunch of creeps, 548 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,760 Like why did you even call it? Just to see what it was? 549 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,199 The teenagers? And then the commercial came on, like you call the number 550 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:19,239 and n creep. Yes, let's see, let's see an add on one 551 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,480 of these, because there's a lot of people who are young and they won't 552 00:51:21,519 --> 00:51:29,400 know about this one nine hundred party line from the nineties, and like who 553 00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:34,639 was actually calling these and taught like what teenage girls like me here creeps, 554 00:51:35,159 --> 00:51:38,400 Harry got party line? This is it. But according to what you were 555 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,400 saying, when you call the one nine hundred party line, it's not actually 556 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,320 dirty. It's just people talking about a party. Yeah, that's so stupid. 557 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:52,280 Yeah, it wasn't phone sex. It was a party line. What 558 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,039 does a party line mean? Like? Multiple people? What are you doing? 559 00:51:55,119 --> 00:51:59,639 I'm bumping on a boombox? What are you doing? I've spoken a 560 00:51:59,639 --> 00:52:04,719 cigaret. This is a party that is, it's the phone version of like 561 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,719 chat Roulette or chat root. Okay, okay, okay, all right, 562 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,599 let's see here's a one nine hundred party line number. Let's see what's going 563 00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:29,559 on. Recently we asked some that's just mom, dude, So what's my 564 00:52:29,639 --> 00:52:32,960 mom doing on the party line? Why? Why is she just calling people 565 00:52:34,039 --> 00:52:39,360 on the party line. She's an executive secretary? What are you a secretary 566 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:45,639 of executive? That sucks. I'm just a secretary. She's an executive. 567 00:52:47,679 --> 00:52:53,280 What's Gary doing the party? Oh wait, he's a professional surfer.

We couldn't have tender if we didn't have 570 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:07,320 this. So this is tender in the nineties. It's not specifically for dating 571 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,159 those Well he just said, well that's his reason. But some people are 572 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,559 like, I just like to meet.

I call the party line because it's fine. Maybe 575 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:30,480 everybody in the nineties actually wasn't sane. Look at this guy per minute, 576 00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:36,440 that's one ninety six cent says per minute. Damn, there's another party line, 577 00:53:36,639 --> 00:53:43,239 which is this one?

So here here's one for teens to call that 597 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:49,800 looks like my esthetic.

I don't think you 605 00:56:36,039 --> 00:56:39,400 should try call Club Teina. Why? Because we're grown people. It doesn't 606 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:46,440 say that you have to be a teenager to call party line ord again. 607 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,639 Yes, interested in a new way to meet people?

Those are the people 611 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,920 you'd be talking That's who you're talking to, literally radical all right. So 612 00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:22,480 that's how win Ona Warna got in trouble in the movie by calling the psychic. 613 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:29,639 She called a psychic exactly, but she that was because she couldn't sleep 614 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:35,159 because she was upset from who which dude to choose, and so she basically 615 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:40,039 watched TV for like three days straight and went crazy. Right, But anyway, 616 00:57:40,079 --> 00:57:46,480 this movie has like the most famous nineties essence of nineties scene where I 617 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:52,480 can't play it, but it's where he calls her from the payphone.

We even had some of our mods when I put this 625 00:58:42,719 --> 00:58:46,960 up, even saying like this is the nineties for me, so go ahead. 626 00:58:47,639 --> 00:58:51,199 Somebody said, miss Cleo, that was like one of the most Yeah, 627 00:58:51,239 --> 00:58:57,199 Dion Warwick and miss Cleo exactly. So I'm trying to find that her, 628 00:58:57,679 --> 00:59:04,000 her laying in the bed with her cigarettes. You see, you will 629 00:59:05,519 --> 00:59:09,480 a midget to fly. I'm reading the video of the midge is flying around. 630 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:16,360 Yes, a big gen X thing is choosing the path of love and 631 00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:22,960 art over the path of like stability and security. Yeah, exactly. Do 632 00:59:23,079 --> 00:59:30,119 I want to grow up and be responsible or am I gonna follow your heart? 633 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:35,039 Yeah? Your she did? She followed the heart in reality and so 634 00:59:35,239 --> 00:59:37,039 yeah, so if you haven't seen it, spoiler alert, she does not 635 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:46,280 choose responsible Jewish business man. She chooses Troy Dyer's the he's the rolling stone 636 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:50,880 rambling man. He can't pin him down, you know, he's like that 637 00:59:51,039 --> 00:59:57,960 whole like he's a loose. But all I'm thinking about is if you want 638 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,639 to fly in a flying short person, right, he climbs, he climbs 639 01:00:01,679 --> 01:00:06,039 with that thing. But if you watch the video, he he climbed up 640 01:00:06,199 --> 01:00:09,960 and died. So he thought he was going to impress this chick with his 641 01:00:10,119 --> 01:00:15,119 trick. But he actually dies. I'm serious, that's the It's like a 642 01:00:15,199 --> 01:00:19,639 tragedy. And then they're carrying his little little baby coffin and it's like, 643 01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,920 why is it is Bono carrying his coffin or something? Stupid? Right, 644 01:00:23,039 --> 01:00:30,199 Bono's leading his procession, his funeral procession a midget to fly through the sky. 645 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:39,880 All right. Last one, This is a very odd film. It's 646 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:44,079 more of an art house film. I had never seen it. I didn't 647 01:00:44,079 --> 01:00:47,119 know what to expect. Of course, I have seen many Richard link Later 648 01:00:47,239 --> 01:00:51,079 films. I do think Richard link Later is a is a good director. 649 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:57,119 Waking Life is a good film. It's it's gnostic and bizarre, of course, 650 01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,920 uh classic with Lord Voldemorre. You also have Ethan Hawke. I think, 651 01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:06,519 isn't he laying on the bed talking to Uma Thurman in that scene. 652 01:01:07,159 --> 01:01:12,280 You've got weird professors. I think Tristan and I did a breakdown of Waking 653 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:17,320 Life. Remember that. And then you've got Scanner Darkly which is great with 654 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:25,639 whoa right Keanus, Robert down Jr. And Alex Yes Alex is in essence 655 01:01:25,639 --> 01:01:30,079 of gen X two. Oh yes he is Robert down Jr. Too. 656 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,320 Now, I'm not saying licorice pizza yet, but I hear it's good. 657 01:01:38,559 --> 01:01:42,920 I'm not a huge fan of Dazing, Confuse. I like Waking Live Scanner 658 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,480 Darkly. I'm not a huge fan of Dazing Confuse. I mean it's okay. 659 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:51,199 I think you know, we're kind of introduced to like Matthew McConaughey, 660 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,119 there, Mili Jovivic, isn't it Do you remember all that? It's it's 661 01:01:54,239 --> 01:01:59,880 it's weird, but all, not all of his films are are focused on 662 01:02:00,119 --> 01:02:07,280 storytelling. They're very character driven and like the the what's going on in the 663 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:12,159 character, even more so than what is the story? Do you remember the 664 01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,119 one we watched about the baseball team from the seventies, Yeah, that one 665 01:02:15,239 --> 01:02:20,159 is that way. It's not really a story. It's just kind of like 666 01:02:20,239 --> 01:02:24,440 a weekend with a bunch of baseball dudes. So it's a guide of reality 667 01:02:25,679 --> 01:02:34,719 sort of more than an adventure or like a fantasy or sci fi. Well, 668 01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,480 I mean he does sometimes tell I mean, Scanner Darkly tells a story, 669 01:02:37,599 --> 01:02:45,320 yeah anyway, But Ethan Hawk is always an artsy, fartsy character, 670 01:02:45,679 --> 01:02:52,519 like reading a book, pontificating Yeah, what's the Sofia Coppola movie that had 671 01:02:52,559 --> 01:02:59,079 to be influenced by this, which the one where she's walking Bill Murray's walking 672 01:02:59,119 --> 01:03:04,199 around What's Cheat with Scarlet Johansson Lost, Yeah, that has to be. 673 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:09,599 It's this is that before that? So yeah, this is also a very 674 01:03:09,679 --> 01:03:15,119 conversation driven. It's just them walking around Europe or Vienna or what was it. 675 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:19,599 Well, it's two people who randomly meet and kind of hit it off 676 01:03:19,679 --> 01:03:23,960 on the train and they're both just sort of like finding their way. You 677 01:03:24,039 --> 01:03:30,719 know, this idea of you know, individuals, eat, pray love ideology, 678 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,760 right, like I have to go to Europe to find myself that this 679 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:38,239 is still going on. Yeah, but I mean Europe specifically because it's like, 680 01:03:38,519 --> 01:03:45,159 you know, white heritage and the whole backpacking through Europe. Well, 681 01:03:45,199 --> 01:03:46,840 in the nineties, as you even pointed out, there was this idea that 682 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:52,400 Europe was automatically way more sophisticated. America was very dumb and stupid, we 683 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,719 don't know anything, but if we just went to Europe, right, we 684 01:03:54,719 --> 01:03:59,239 would, Oh, you would see how sophisticated it is. There's an element 685 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,960 to this with like history and architecture. Outside of history and architecture. It's 686 01:04:03,039 --> 01:04:09,599 not more sophisticated, but they don't understand how much is packed into a tiny 687 01:04:09,719 --> 01:04:13,039 space. So of course we're not going to know lots of different languages. 688 01:04:13,239 --> 01:04:18,079 Like she even makes a comment in the movie only Americans only know English, 689 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:27,920 but in Europe is very small geographically, like, there's no reason for us 690 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,679 to know several languages because I'm not crossing borders. That's a great point. 691 01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,840 Yeah, it was. And they were very snobby in the nineties about this. 692 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:38,719 If you talked to Europeans or meet then they're always like, do you 693 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:43,840 even speak more than a language? You talk to a stupid American. That's 694 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,320 like asking everybody from a different state to like learn a different language just for 695 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,440 the sake of It's kind of crazy. But and backpacking across Europe was like 696 01:04:51,519 --> 01:04:55,400 a popular thing in the nineties and early two thousands. I mean, maybe 697 01:04:55,519 --> 01:04:58,559 people still do this. I don't know. There's people in the chat saying 698 01:04:58,639 --> 01:05:01,079 I did the back pack three Europe thing in the nineties. I had two 699 01:05:01,159 --> 01:05:03,360 good friends that did it. I never did it. I didn't go to 700 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:11,960 Europe until or well areas of Europe until more recently. But I had friends 701 01:05:12,039 --> 01:05:17,800 that did ithay, Well, he's also got a idea for a live streaming 702 01:05:18,719 --> 01:05:21,599 show. Oh really, yeah, he was like, I'd like to just 703 01:05:21,679 --> 01:05:30,920 record daily lives. Oh he's talking about reality stuff. Yeah wow, And 704 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:38,480 they're both Oh. This is another key element that characterizes gen X is agnosticism, 705 01:05:39,039 --> 01:05:43,159 right, Apathy and agnosticism is supposed to characterize the gen X, and 706 01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,599 all of the characters for the most part in all of these films are struggling 707 01:05:46,679 --> 01:05:51,079 with that to some degree. But it's a contrast to like boomer atheism. 708 01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:57,599 Would always like, I don't think boomers are at Boomers are more like, 709 01:05:59,119 --> 01:06:01,920 you know, maybe just his dad or something. What his dad an atheist 710 01:06:02,079 --> 01:06:05,519 and we wrote something about that. Well he says something like, oh, 711 01:06:06,119 --> 01:06:11,119 you know, my parents are hypocrites, so I reject all their whatever they 712 01:06:11,199 --> 01:06:15,440 say. Yeah, so it's like I'm in rebellion against boomers. But then 713 01:06:15,519 --> 01:06:18,360 the interesting thing about this is like they actually start debating at one point, 714 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,400 well, why are we even in rebellion and what are we rebelling against and 715 01:06:21,559 --> 01:06:26,119 for what? So that that was actually a good question, right, because 716 01:06:26,159 --> 01:06:29,440 most of the time people who want to be counterculture, they want to rebel 717 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,920 against something they don't actually think about, well, why they're rebelling to rebel 718 01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,280 for rebel's sake? I mean, why are you rebelling against what? And 719 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:41,719 what is the better thing or the solution? Right? And she has an 720 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:45,679 interesting conversation at one point in the film where she even says the Julie Delpy 721 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:49,480 character. She says, on the one hand, I don't want to be 722 01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:53,840 a feminist, but I feel like I have to be because of everything I've 723 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,239 been taught. But she's like, but I want to have a family and 724 01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,679 a husband and I want to be a mom. And she's like, but 725 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,519 I think, like it's revolutionary to say that. Do you know that conversation? 726 01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,480 Yeah, definitely, And I think millennials feel like that too. Like 727 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:11,679 at twenty years old, most women if they said, well I just want 728 01:07:11,679 --> 01:07:13,639 to get married to have a family, people are like, what's wrong with 729 01:07:13,719 --> 01:07:17,599 you? Are you like con person? Don't you want to earn your own 730 01:07:17,639 --> 01:07:23,840 way? So yeah, this go ahead. Well, I was just gonna 731 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,280 say gen X is jaded about love too, that's true. Yeah, the 732 01:07:28,599 --> 01:07:31,239 divorce, Well, but they also want it right. So he wants to 733 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,599 love her, and he likes her and likewise with her, but then he's 734 01:07:35,679 --> 01:07:40,519 like, and remember this is pre internet, so like he's like, well, 735 01:07:41,239 --> 01:07:44,519 if I get your number, then it'll be a situation where I'll be 736 01:07:44,639 --> 01:07:47,639 tempted to not call you back. He's like, so maybe I shouldn't get 737 01:07:47,639 --> 01:07:53,159 your number and we should just enjoy a you know, fling, And she's 738 01:07:53,239 --> 01:07:55,960 like, interesting, I never thought about that. Okay, well let's do 739 01:07:56,079 --> 01:07:58,960 that. Yeah. So they have this fling, but they don't but they 740 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,880 don't want any attack and they and so it's almost like they're doing an experiment 741 01:08:03,119 --> 01:08:09,679 to see if their philosophies actually work or makes sense, because the whole discussion 742 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:15,440 is like three days of philosophical debate and discussion about their existential gen x angst. 743 01:08:15,199 --> 01:08:18,439 Then we're going to have a one night stand and then we'll see how 744 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:26,960 we feel about it. And this is also like European culture gen X versus 745 01:08:27,159 --> 01:08:32,359 American culture gen X. But they go to a German bar and they're playing 746 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:39,359 Nirvana, right, so the grunge had become the American pop is global and 747 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:45,119 they even make a comment how it's like MTV generation and she even says the 748 01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:47,960 media are trying to control our minds and it's a new form of fascism. 749 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,760 So well, yeah, it's like every now and then they'll actually almost in 750 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:58,039 a brilliant way, hit on the real conspiracy, right they'll talk about how 751 01:08:58,279 --> 01:09:01,880 maybe that maybe we're being atheism and nihilism on purpose, and then they'll like 752 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:06,199 go right back into well, but we just saw a Catholic monk a fortune 753 01:09:06,239 --> 01:09:11,319 teller, and they're both ridiculous. So it's like they don't know where to 754 01:09:11,399 --> 01:09:14,359 go. They're constantly, you know, just sort of up in the air. 755 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:19,239 Everything is unclear, hence the gen x agnosticism and apathy. Well, 756 01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:24,760 you made a good point about souls, like if reincarnation is true, because 757 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,680 they're having all these deep existential conversations, like she's scared of death, and 758 01:09:29,279 --> 01:09:32,279 he says, well what about reincarnation? And you were like, if reincarnation 759 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,760 is true, they're actually he playing he's almost playing Troy Dyer again. He 760 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:42,800 refused reincarnation, which he's like, my parents were boomers, they went through 761 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,920 the sixties counterculture and were feeding me all this reincarnation bullshit. And he's like, 762 01:09:46,159 --> 01:09:49,520 but I started thinking, like reincarnation doesn't make sense. He actually has 763 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:57,880 a good argument against it because like there's not enough souls. I don't remember 764 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,920 the exact argument he makes, But it's something like that, like, well, 765 01:10:01,079 --> 01:10:04,600 where where are the people going? Right? Like, how are we 766 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:10,600 getting more people if we're just recycling the previous people right? Right? Which 767 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,680 is an obvious kind of self evident critique. Where do new souls come from? 768 01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,880 Yeah, if you're a reincarnation believer, like, where are all these 769 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,199 new souls coming from? We should have essentially the same number like coming back 770 01:10:21,359 --> 01:10:27,279 each time. So you know, he's actually making some interesting philosophical, almost 771 01:10:27,319 --> 01:10:30,880 pre level critiques at times. But every time they start to hit on a 772 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:39,199 breakthrough, they kind of get sucked back into their programming. Yeah, which 773 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:44,399 ironically she identifies. She even says the feminist programming or something. She's like, 774 01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,000 I was brainwashed or programming with this feminist thing to make me not want 775 01:10:47,039 --> 01:10:49,800 to have a family. She's like, but why do I desire it? 776 01:10:50,239 --> 01:10:58,600 Mm hm. So well, and they're scared to fall into a cycle that 777 01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:02,880 they witnessed people just stay together for their kids. Yeah, they talk about 778 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,159 it again, and they say that that's a boomer thing, right, where 779 01:11:05,159 --> 01:11:11,279 the boomers were sacrificing to stay together even though they didn't like each other and 780 01:11:11,279 --> 01:11:15,520 they didn't want to experience that, which is very ironically, very actually very 781 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,520 self centered because they're actually making the point that the boomers were doing that for 782 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:24,159 the sake of the children. And from their mindset as single people, they 783 01:11:24,199 --> 01:11:29,159 can understand why anybody would make sacrifices for another person. So they're very narcissistic 784 01:11:29,239 --> 01:11:35,479 as well, and they're both skeptical. And so they make this pact that 785 01:11:36,399 --> 01:11:40,960 they will meet, they will not speak, but they'll meet at the same 786 01:11:41,039 --> 01:11:47,960 place exactly ten years later and see where they are. Was it ten years 787 01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:51,520 or yeah, it's ten years? What do you think it's five or something. 788 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:56,760 I didn't remember exactly how long. It's a long time. I think 789 01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:01,600 it's ten, but I mean chat can correct me if yeah. And so 790 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:05,359 they come across these different characters and one of them is a psychic, and 791 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:10,439 the psychic tells them that everything we know is star dust, so therefore and 792 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:18,840 all of your decisions and consequences are they don't matter because ultimately we're just star 793 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:30,319 stuff. So that kind of influences their decision making process. Do they have 794 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:36,000 the stupid free will predestination debate, which every Hollywood movie thinks is like the 795 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:42,600 deepest conversation that you can have what's this twin flame thing? Oh, just 796 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,920 like psychics and those kind of people pray on lonely people. Oh that's what 797 01:12:47,039 --> 01:12:51,039 she says, right, she says that they're just praying on lonely people and 798 01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:57,399 basically grifting. Yeah, and then you wrote the twin flames and tills one. 799 01:12:59,079 --> 01:13:01,439 So then they start having but like different marriages, like the Quaker marriage, 800 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,520 they just stare at each other. Did you ever hear that? Well, 801 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,600 once you mentioned that, yeah, and then I went and looked up 802 01:13:09,079 --> 01:13:14,000 the Quakers were also pioneers of social justice, and they also have pretty large 803 01:13:14,039 --> 01:13:18,119 holdings in both banking and candy industries. Right, and that interesting, which 804 01:13:18,159 --> 01:13:24,319 is a crazy cult. Quakers are a lunatic cult. But and then they 805 01:13:24,399 --> 01:13:32,159 come across the like bohemian homeless poet man. So it's very Greek dialoguey, 806 01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:39,880 like one of those stories where it's just about again about the conversation, and 807 01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,000 then they come across these archetypes like is the rich man happy or is the 808 01:13:44,159 --> 01:13:47,199 poor man happy? Or is the artist happen? Yeah, exactly, that's 809 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:53,560 a Plato's apology. Yeah, and yeah, so for those in the chat, 810 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:58,479 this is actually a trilogy. So there's before Sunrise, and then there's 811 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,800 before Sunset nine years later, which is supposed to I think signify the ten 812 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:06,600 years Okay that they were going to meet, right, So they meet up 813 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:11,199 again, and I've not seen the sequel, so I don't know whether this 814 01:14:11,319 --> 01:14:16,680 is any good or I definitely want that black man to teach me yoga though 815 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,920 I know that much. But yeah, So then they meet up again ten 816 01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:29,560 years later to have again this conversation, and the whole trilogy is critically acclaimed, 817 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,000 so all the critics and a lot of people, especially gen X people, 818 01:14:32,039 --> 01:14:35,159 they like this trilogy. Again, I haven't seen two and three, 819 01:14:35,279 --> 01:14:39,800 so I don't know where the story goes. I do think they end up 820 01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:45,000 together at some point though, because I think in the third one they're reflecting 821 01:14:45,119 --> 01:14:54,920 on their relationship. So what's the third one called after something after Before Sunrise? 822 01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:03,560 I don't know anyway, the third one came out not that long ago, 823 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:15,239 before Midnight for Midnight twenty thirteen. Yeah, so anyway, so, 824 01:15:15,319 --> 01:15:20,079 yeah, he's skeptical of romance and so they still have like lives to live 825 01:15:20,239 --> 01:15:28,359 before they can what take on the responsibility of families and stuff like that. 826 01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:36,800 Well, I think the gen X were at the stage of being afraid of 827 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:43,960 things that shouldn't really be be fearful, like marriage and children is not this 828 01:15:44,119 --> 01:15:49,119 thing to be deathly afraid of. And the movies were presenting this as like 829 01:15:49,319 --> 01:15:58,760 this traumatic experience, right, and that the Boomers hadn't sufficiently gone through you 830 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,600 know, philosophical rooms nations about how to face these things. Then that was 831 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,239 their mistake. So we as gen X are going to be smarter. We're 832 01:16:05,279 --> 01:16:10,039 gonna read Heidegger and we're gonna read Jean Paul Sartre and we're gonna figure out 833 01:16:10,159 --> 01:16:12,800 how to handle these things better than them. We're gonna go to film school 834 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,159 and we're gonna go to film school and we're gonna know authenticity, and we're 835 01:16:15,159 --> 01:16:19,960 gonna know like what what reality is? Man? Not this fake corporate thing, 836 01:16:20,199 --> 01:16:24,720 right, But it was all a fake corporate funded revolution. Yeah, 837 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,159 so the rebellion, even of the gen X is still like this corporate controlled 838 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:33,399 opposition thing. Yeah. She even makes a comment she says she thinks rebellion 839 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,119 is good, but she doesn't know what that means. Why. Yeah, 840 01:16:36,359 --> 01:16:42,039 it's good, but why I don't know. So anyway, Yeah, I 841 01:16:42,079 --> 01:16:46,479 think that summarizes these alt comms, dramedies, all dramedies. They summarize the 842 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,439 essence of the psyche of the the gen x. But clearly the best of 843 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:58,439 all these would be for that would be before sunrise and then reality bites. 844 01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,199 The rest of these are kind of stupid. We'll have to watch the next 845 01:17:01,239 --> 01:17:06,680 two of them. Got a machine here, split it and the rest pre 846 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:15,600 too ho rare machine in here? All right? Fish yeah, Petro, 847 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,560 Gary, five dollars, Jay? How do I become a chalk Heber Israelite? 848 01:17:18,039 --> 01:17:24,159 I was born in Chad Moodea. I can tell you all about that. 849 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,720 There's a really simple process for all of you guys. I mean, 850 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,479 you've got several super chats that are going to read these. But before we 851 01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:34,800 do, let me tell you how to become a true Chad. I'm gonna 852 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:40,720 put you on something crazy real quick. Most of these zoomer Jimbros are consuming 853 01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:45,119 macro guzzling synthetic dyes and synthetic sweeteners on the daily. They don't even know 854 01:17:45,239 --> 01:17:49,079 it. Goofy af, there's nothing great about that. Do not listen any 855 01:17:49,159 --> 01:17:54,039 further unless you are an alpha or sigma male. This is important and there 856 01:17:54,079 --> 01:17:59,399 could be consequences there's a new certified Sigma male pre workout powder for Sigmas only. 857 01:18:00,039 --> 01:18:02,800 It is guaranteed to empower you to dominate your co workers, fire your 858 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:09,239 boss, aggressively, gamble, or invade a small village. Chad Mode stands 859 01:18:09,279 --> 01:18:14,399 out from the crowd by excluding artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners, and dyes. 860 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,760 We've even avoided so called natural flavors which are actually not natural at all, 861 01:18:19,039 --> 01:18:24,640 ensuring a clean and effective formula. Experience the pure goodness of chad Mode 862 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:30,960 colored with organic blue spirolina extract, organic lemon cherry, and organic maple crystals. 863 01:18:30,279 --> 01:18:35,119 Forget synthetic caffeine made in a sketchy Chinese lab. Embrace the natural power 864 01:18:35,199 --> 01:18:40,840 of organic green coffee bean extract, which will get your mind going and pump 865 01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:45,399 you up to the max. Chad Mode is made in America with all clean 866 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,279 ingredients, the first clean pre workout of its kind. Why are these people 867 01:18:49,359 --> 01:18:55,359 adding synthetic sweeteners to every single pre workout when there are many studied downsides to 868 01:18:55,479 --> 01:19:00,279 consuming nasty fake sucralose. Each dose of chad Mode contains the kick of a 869 01:19:00,319 --> 01:19:04,439 cup and a half of coffee, delivering a surge of energy alongside essential vitamins, 870 01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:10,199 minerals, amino acids, and herbal extracts. Chad mode will allow you 871 01:19:10,359 --> 01:19:15,319 to fire your boss and dominate anyone who opposes you. Chad mode will make 872 01:19:15,399 --> 01:19:18,880 you more dominant in your daily life, So proceed with caution. It's as 873 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:24,680 simple as mixing one or two scoops of our fine powder into water or juice, 874 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,640 providing you with a delicious, energizing beverage featuring a shurst of something that 875 01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,880 we're all proud of. I got a browser here. This is Jay Dyers, 876 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:40,199 much vaunted, much sought after philosophy one oh one. Now he just 877 01:19:40,279 --> 01:19:42,880 got this page up. We are just testing it out. You guys are 878 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,439 some of the first people in the world to see it. I want to 879 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,520 say, for my part, it's not philosophy one o one. I think 880 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:54,079 this is as mistitling. I really think is as like philosophy unleashed. Because 881 01:19:54,119 --> 01:19:57,640 a philosophy want on one course, they give you kind of some useless information 882 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,680 that you can't make sense of. Jay actually lay out over twelve weeks, 883 01:20:01,039 --> 01:20:05,159 dozens and dozens of hours put into just the presentation of this let alone the 884 01:20:05,279 --> 01:20:10,439 hundreds and thousands of hours of research that it takes to have a coherent evolution 885 01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,920 and history of the origins of philosophy, the uses of philosophy, the different 886 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:18,439 ways to look at it over time, and how that has been brought about 887 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:24,039 to what we have today, which is almost an absence of philosophy on the 888 01:20:24,159 --> 01:22:38,359 object. Oh Man, we had that. We had that muta the whole 889 01:22:38,359 --> 01:22:46,000 time. I apologize Ellie five dollars was George Clooney movie from Dussell Don was 890 01:22:46,039 --> 01:22:50,319 a Quentin Tarantino movie. Correct, And Salma Hayek was the vampire s a 891 01:22:50,399 --> 01:22:53,880 villain, that is correct. L E ten dollars. You know about the 892 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,800 false memories and our foundations. Yes, I've covered the m c I talks 893 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:02,560 in Culture Talks because that was a Martin Orn was connected to CI and that 894 01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:12,840 was a front for disinformation and deflecting away from people who were reporting real sra 895 01:23:13,039 --> 01:23:15,119 stuff. Brell of the second three dollars, you want to read that one. 896 01:23:16,399 --> 01:23:20,079 It seems as if gen X and others in the West were all subconsciously 897 01:23:20,279 --> 01:23:25,960 expecting some kind of end of the world at Ono two thousand, hence their 898 01:23:26,039 --> 01:23:30,760 nihilism and apathy and bad existentialism. But when the world didn't end. This 899 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,079 led everyone to live even less responsibly. It makes me think of that Ray 900 01:23:35,239 --> 01:23:44,079 Fine angela Bassett Matrix ish sci fi movie, What is it Last Day's Last 901 01:23:44,199 --> 01:23:49,800 Day? Because that's kind of the theme of that movie, right, that 902 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:54,960 the world's going to end Strange Days. Excuse me, excuse me, it's 903 01:23:55,000 --> 01:24:04,000 Strange Days. I remember falling asleep in the theater at this movie. Yeah, 904 01:24:04,319 --> 01:24:16,640 this is it, and it's like a yeah, nero, the kind 905 01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,439 of young rave Fine is he looks It almost looks like Bradley Cooper. Yeah, 906 01:24:23,279 --> 01:24:28,560 wow, But yeah, in Strange Days, right, it's like a 907 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,720 Matrix spinoff type of thing. You got the same thing going on where well, 908 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:36,560 it's actually a pre matrix because Matrix is like ninety eight, but it's 909 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,680 supposed to be the end of the world. And then, of course I 910 01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:45,079 don't think the end of the world doesn't actually in the world, but the 911 01:24:45,159 --> 01:24:50,119 the matrix definitely, I would say pulls from this movie.

It doesn't make any sense to me, but 923 01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:44,600 I don't think it's supposed to make sense. You'll never understand it with your 924 01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:45,479 mind.
