WEBVTT 1 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.399 Welcome to teen Girl Talk. Teen Girl Talk. I'm ce Za Kota. 2 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:30.640 I'm Frank Kakota with the birthday girl. Hey, where cor my scissors? 3 00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:39.600 Actual birthday? It's true and it's one of my picks. It is hashtag 4 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:45.200 FBF, which shows how out of touch I am with things. I was 5 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:50.600 like, oh, this is an actual hashtag because I feel like I haven't. 6 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.479 I've seen a bunch of throwback Thursdays, but I feel like Flashback Friday 7 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.159 has kind of like, first of all, I don't think the name fits 8 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:00.960 the movie very much. Enjoyed the movie. Let me say that right up 9 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.760 front. I think this could have been called because there's a line at one 10 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.879 point in the movie where one of the main character's friends says, this feels 11 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.879 like a made for TV movie parent trap. I wish they had called it 12 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.280 made for TV movie parent Trap. I think they probably would have run into 13 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.560 some legal LIGs with that, but I agree this movie was like I was 14 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.799 chuckling through it. Then there's one line in this movie that made me bust 15 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.159 out laugh. It was so good. I feel like a lot of the 16 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:42.200 writing is very good, Like, yeah, I mean it would have to 17 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.000 be with this right where there's just like, you can't really do visual gags. 18 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.680 I mean, no, well you in a normal situation like this, 19 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.480 you couldn't do visual gags really, but they managed to pull them off in 20 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.560 this movie. This movie is very like does a lot of very little. 21 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:08.840 It's done all through screens in the same way that like Searching or host Friend 22 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:15.000 Request, like those movies, and I met on the face of it, 23 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.840 I would say, like, oh, a very online movie or a movie 24 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.919 done all through screen, Like, I can't imagine it being good. But 25 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:31.400 it's a pretty solid concept and has produced I think some like fairly modest budget 26 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:37.719 movies that I very much enjoyed. Yeah. I mentioned Host because I watched 27 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.759 in the Men of the Jedi episode about that, But I'm like, that 28 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.080 is too scary for Frank. Host is not to be confused with the Host, 29 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.479 a movie we watched last month. Yeah, but the Host was not 30 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:55.039 scary, except for the terrible relationships and putting your consciousness into a komatost Emily 31 00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.639 Browning. Yeah, it's it's not cool. Don't do that. Yeah, 32 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.360 if you have the opportunity to do that, don't because it's creepy and weird 33 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.680 and you shouldn't do it. Emily Browning's had enough that has to deal with 34 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.520 enough in her other movies. True, Wait, is she a Game of 35 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:16.400 Thrones person? No? But like, let's say she was in Sucker Punch 36 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.840 that didn't turn out well for her. She was in Sleeping Beauty, so 37 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.280 that really didn't turn out well for her. And she was in that Tom 38 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.680 Hardy movie which also did not turn out well for her. Oh. For 39 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.759 some reason, I thought you were gonna say Tom and Jerry. No. 40 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.919 I was like, if I was in Tom and Jerry, I'd want to 41 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:40.360 play Jerry. That's the mouse right. Yes? Okay, so let's talk 42 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:51.560 about hashtag FBF. Yes. This is a movie about a junior who has 43 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:59.000 to move to from New Jersey to Florida and she is not happy about it. 44 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.240 She it. The main character is Annie. She has to leave her 45 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:14.120 longtime friends to because her mom has had a job opportunity in Florida. So 46 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:19.120 the movie starts with her at the airport. She is posting to her Instagram 47 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:29.560 stories about being excited to fly up to Noork. In the beginning, like 48 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:38.399 the opening credits, we see her parents' divorce conveyed through her Instagram story and 49 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.399 there's a point where they show a ferris wheel, where I'm like, that 50 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:46.759 is one thousand percent Santa Monica Boulevard and not New Jersey. But I'm like, 51 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.439 whatever, movie, it's very rare that you hear so much New Jersey 52 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.879 in a movie and so much accurate New Jersey. Right. Like, her 53 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.319 family is from Red Bank, which is a pretty affluent area, and when 54 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.160 we see their house posted on Redfin later, I'm like, oh, she's 55 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.759 got funny money. But what do they say, like, oh, you 56 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:18.399 rich rich? Yeah? So uh. Her mom face times her and says, 57 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:24.920 oh, I'm about to do a TED talk, and you took my 58 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.600 computer. The the conversation is supposed to lead us to believe that this is 59 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.720 all Annie's fault, but what was her mother doing that she did not have 60 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:41.120 all this stuff organized her notes. I have to believe that a TED talk 61 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.360 is not just letting someone up there to go rogue and say whatever they want. 62 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:55.800 So we get like different interludes of Michelle the mom or Sheila. It's 63 00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:01.120 Michelle. I thought maybe it was Sheila because of her match dot com. 64 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:09.480 Nay, but I think that Michelle might feel a little freaky dieky. I'm 65 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.759 just saying Nope, I mean, there's no shame on her. It's just 66 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.800 if you're gonna bring that kind of energy to match dot com stuff like men 67 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:23.920 like what Swing ding Dong are going to uh contact you. She's like, 68 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.480 I got kicked off of Christian Mingles maps dot com and that the one who 69 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:38.720 can contain my energy. So then her mom brings up the fact that Annie 70 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.920 has lost a number of phones, really drills down that Annie is irresponsible, 71 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.600 and uh lets her know that she's pretty unhappy with what's going on. And 72 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.639 so Annie's basically like, too bad, So sad mom, I'm going to 73 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.680 New Jersey. But her flight is delayed. So the entirety of this movie 74 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.199 is going to take place in the Florida airport. Yeah. I can't think 75 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.360 of a single other movie that's taking place in the Florida airport. Wait, 76 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:18.160 where did Terminals take place? Ternal I have to go. I'm not sure, 77 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.759 funny if Annie was in the terminal airport. So, I mean, 78 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:31.120 I guess technically she is, because like I'm assuming they filled this in California. 79 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.759 They didn't fly all the way here. That's are you talking about? 80 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.079 You're talking about the Tom Hanks movie, right, yes, all right now, 81 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:51.000 There's a There's a another movie starring Margot Robbie the Parish Gayel Airport, 82 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:59.199 Oh, Charles de Gaull Airport, Yes, Charles the Goal Airport and padis 83 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:09.519 France. Okay, so she's not in the terminal airport. So Annie decides 84 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:16.160 to make the best of it, and she uh FaceTime calls her friends from 85 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:22.519 her mom's MacBook and they're excited that she's coming home. They tell her that 86 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.000 a football player that is, you know, sort of the hunk du jour 87 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:33.159 has asked about her, and she wants to know if they think he is 88 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.600 going to ask her to the homecoming dance, and they're kind of like, 89 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:45.279 uh, I don't know. Basically, they're saying no without actually saying no. 90 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:52.720 So then she's like a little bit cranky with them, but has decided 91 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.399 that the way that she is going to fix her life so she will get 92 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:03.440 to leave uh Florida and move back to New Jersey for her senior year, 93 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:15.039 is she will like set up her parents because she saw that her mom had 94 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.919 ordered lingerie on nordstrom dot com. Nordstrums gets a lot of love in this 95 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.799 movie, and he then goes on a shopping spree and spends roughly forty five 96 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:31.519 hundred dollars on door strum. And so her friends are like, this is 97 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.360 not a great They're good friends because they're like, this is not a great 98 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.960 idea. I don't think this is very fun. I kind of think you're 99 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:43.600 making a mistake. Maybe you shouldn't do this. And Annie's like, no, 100 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.919 full throttle all the time. We are not I'm going to either get 101 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:56.320 my parents back together or destroy my mother of through her job and through her 102 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:07.000 finances and also harmantic life. Balling forward, Annie is very I would say, 103 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:15.639 instrumental in if she wanted to troll her mother's life. She's doing a 104 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:22.720 really, really good job because this is not just similar to the technique that 105 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:31.639 they used in Hackers, where they're trying to destroy the lead detective's life who's 106 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:41.080 coming after the hackers. So I mean they post a Craigslist ad for that 107 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:52.080 band, and then in hashtag FBF, Annie decides to ruin her mom's match 108 00:10:52.159 --> 00:11:00.159 dot com profile and again, the match dot Com name is schul f or 109 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.919 she'll f and uh, it's because her name is Michelle and her last name 110 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.960 starts with an F. But uh, Annie's friends quickly point out that this 111 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.480 is a really unfortunate screen name to have because of what it sounds like. 112 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:22.240 Yeah, so I just want to point out, uh at one point a 113 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:28.799 few things. One, her mom has terrible cybersecurity. Her password is password 114 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.720 one two three. I didn't even notice that. I know that Annie said 115 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.360 everyone can guess your password. Your passwords really obvious, but I didn't even 116 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.000 notice that I was password one two three. Yeah, I need to introduce 117 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.360 Michelle to a little movie called Hackers, and then you can also introduce her 118 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.320 to I'm not sure what we've done any movies with you. You should introduce 119 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:56.919 her to our lifetime protagonists who uses photoshop, because Michelle is terrible at photoshop. 120 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:03.799 Also, photos in this movie are so funny. And later we see 121 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:11.759 Annie do a photoshop of a kakatoo or a cockatile into her mother's match dot 122 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.480 com profile picture, and it is such a sloppy, purposely sloppy photoshop, 123 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:24.159 but it's so funny. And I don't know if this is the intention of 124 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:31.159 the filmmakers, but the fact that men are still messaging her on this Yankee 125 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.200 profile is very true to life as a person that was on dating apps for 126 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.320 a while. Everyone's like oh, your pictures have to look good and show 127 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.200 that you have friends and interest and activities. If you are a lady existing 128 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.679 on the internet, or even if you're not a lady, if you're a 129 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:52.000 catfish. If there are photos portraying a person that men are attracted to, 130 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.399 it doesn't matter how crazy or bad those photos are, you are going to 131 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:03.600 get messaged you're not wrong. But also like those messages, probably not, 132 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:11.159 but also like, there is one that isn't photoshopped, which is supposed to 133 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.000 be a picture of Annie, her mom as a baby, her mom and 134 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.759 her dad, and that is a poorly photoshop picture of Ashley Judd and the 135 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.840 guy who plays her dad onto another family. Like it looks like the Michael 136 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:33.240 Scott, Yeah, photoshopping his head. And I'm like, okay, did 137 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.159 she like photoshop out out the real dad to put somebody else? He's like, 138 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.559 no, that's just supposed to be what it is. Like the child 139 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:50.039 looks like from a completely different picture, like the huge like in scale, 140 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.759 because it's supposed to be like maybe a two or three year old, but 141 00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:03.399 the scale is all off to the point where this child would probably standing their 142 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.279 height would reach above Ashley Judd's waist, but Ashley Judd or her husband is 143 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:18.759 holding this giant toddler and the light is coming from all directions in these photos, 144 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.320 so it's impossible to know kind of like where the sun is. And 145 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:30.120 nobody's skin tones match. Like the dad who we see in this movie is 146 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.320 very handsome, but like this photo makes him look like clawed from GTA three 147 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.799 and not even like upscale called from GTA three. I was like, oh, 148 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.639 ps two graphics. Uh. I mean when Frank says the skin tones 149 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.159 don't match, he means that like the light source again, and someone went 150 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:56.519 really buck wild with the blur tools, so they don't look human, they 151 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:07.360 look AI generated. Yeah, it's bizarre, and the AI put a little 152 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:13.679 too much for me Jensen in the Ashley Judd too much athlete who put all 153 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:22.200 this astlete Judd in my Oh my god in this No sorry, okay, 154 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.039 I'm close. I have IMDb on my tablet, but that's showing me ads 155 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.639 and it showed me a very distracting ad of this movie that's coming out called 156 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.840 Atlas, where Jennifer Lopez draws a mech and I'm like, that's not a 157 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.480 thing I knew I wanted till now I love Mexico. Is that the one 158 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:46.399 that they people were posting the videos. It's like a sort of musical theater 159 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.200 thing. They all work in like a glass factory. No, this looks 160 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.919 like just a straight up like science fiction special infictures traffick Canza where Jennifer Lopez 161 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:02.039 is in a mech oh okay, well fair enough. It seems like she's 162 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.399 really making some choices. I wonder if being married to Ben Affleck, He's 163 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.039 like, take a chance, bib, and she's like, Okay, I'm 164 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.919 gonna drive it back. Yeah. I think the best way to talk about 165 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:18.120 this film is we at the beginning, we point out all the different conversation 166 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.080 threads that are going on and then talk about how Annie will fuck them up, 167 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.720 fuck them up and then fix them. Okay. I so ones that 168 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.960 I think are sort of self contained because Annie really only talks to them once 169 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:37.559 and it's terrible. Is Susan from the PTA This? I laughed at this. 170 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:44.240 Annie is very mean spirited with Susan. Susan texts what she thinks is 171 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.440 Michelle and says, can't wait to see you at the PTA meeting. My 172 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.559 daughter and I made muffins and you know as you know in their world renown, 173 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:59.039 and so she does say something about like Annie acting up and Annie wait, 174 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:06.000 Frank, only after Annie decides that Michelle cannot hang out with Susan, 175 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.960 Susan is too wholesome. She's gonna throw a wrench in it. So she 176 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:15.039 replies, nice, try, Susan, not gonna happen, and Susan said 177 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.000 replies entirely sympathetically. If someone said that to me, I'd be like what 178 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.759 you said you wanted to be involved with the PTA? Why are you coming 179 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.519 at me with this energy? So Susan says, oh, I'm sorry, 180 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.440 Like it's something going on with Annie. I know you said that, you 181 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.559 know she was having a little bit of trouble, so and you know, 182 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.440 maybe it drugs, could you know it? Susan's a little bit of a 183 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:44.880 busy body. So then Annie comes back two hundred aggression and says, Susan, 184 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.400 I don't want to be in the PTA anymore and your muffins suck, 185 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.319 and Susan again replies sympathetically, and it's like, oh, I'm sorry, 186 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.160 I thought you wanted to be more involved in your daughter's life. Bye. 187 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:04.960 I guess Annie has big DEVI from never have I ever energy. Yes, 188 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:15.240 it's like, uh, anything she perceives as a sort of slight she will 189 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:22.279 react to with like both fists. No, no, no, no. 190 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:30.640 Because then when the realtor contacts Michelle and they're selling their palatial house of red 191 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.960 bag, Annie says, I don't think these people actually want to buy the 192 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.680 house. It's haunted, and the realtor is like, oh, okay, 193 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.319 well I guess that's unfortunate. Let me tell this the buyers. There is 194 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:52.839 no law that says that you have to disclose that the former owners are soon 195 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:59.200 to be former owners believe that the house is haunted. I think, like 196 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.279 I think, if they're has been like a murder or something, you have 197 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.240 to like let them know that. I don't think it's like, hey, 198 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:14.079 there's some bad vibes here, yes, and so like it keeps escalating. 199 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:22.720 The funniest part is there's no verification that this is Michelle. Annie enters in 200 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:29.160 on the like basically the chat bot on the Redfinn website, and it's like, 201 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.640 hey, I know we are doing what is probably over a million dollar 202 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.279 transaction with this home, but I only want to chat with you through the 203 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:42.920 chat mechanic on the website of this realtor, like this real estate site. 204 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:51.480 So then instead of calling Michelle, this realtor's like, okay, look, 205 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.640 the buyers are real freaky weirdos. They're so into the ghosts they can't wait 206 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.039 to buy this house, like, let's get this done. So then and 207 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:07.400 he says, well, the problem is the ghost smell. And the realtor's 208 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.920 like, they know about the septic tank, they don't care. They want 209 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:15.519 to buy this house. And Annie's like, no, ghost sense, I 210 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.279 think we should raise the price, because the thing is, when you have 211 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.759 a haunted house full of stinky ghosts, why would you not want to ask 212 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.119 more money to people who readily want to buy the house. So the realtor 213 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.200 is like, girl, you are wild. I thought you were trying to 214 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.799 sell this house. What are you doing? And so then Annie realizes she's 215 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.519 been caught out in a weird lie and says, b r B, I'll 216 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.720 call you in a minute. Bye. And the realtor's like, bro, 217 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:48.079 come on, these people are hot to buy this ghost house. Yeah, 218 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:51.119 they're like, they love these stinky ghosts. Just let them buy the house. 219 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.920 Do you know what the market is like now? Ghost were hot? 220 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.160 Yes, everybody's just trying to buy a ghost has some Red Bank, New 221 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.759 Jersey, like, I can't wait to live in the place where Kevin Smith 222 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:10.119 told people he lived. Actually coming it's plane actually coming from Highlands, New 223 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:15.519 Jersey. They're like, we can't wait to live near Jane saw A Bob's 224 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.559 Secret Stash. They're like, the only thing that might break this deal is 225 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:26.160 if it is not in walking distance. Jay and Silent above Secret Slash. 226 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.799 They're like, no, you are very lucky. You could walk there and 227 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.880 buy comic books every day if you want. And they're like, will the 228 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.720 stinky ghosts follow me? Well, I forever have a stink companion And they're 229 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.799 like, yeah, probably, I don't know, but you will disclose the 230 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.519 stink ghost to me till today. So I don't really have any details. 231 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:51.279 But yeah, I was gonna be like, but you probably won't notice because 232 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:56.000 you're going to a comics store and some of them stink. But I've been 233 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.799 to the Secret Stash. That one doesn't smell bad. There's a different comic 234 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:07.720 store which women name remained nameless, that does. I walked in and Amelia 235 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.559 walked out as like, buddy, you're on your I told my friend, 236 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.759 you're on your I can't be in here because it's smelled so bad. Bringing 237 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:19.039 endorsement does not stink. I mean it's pretty good for a comic store anyway. 238 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:27.400 Mistakes a person knowing comic books to profess this because I'm like, I 239 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:34.640 guess next up, I think we should talk about cheese Bud. Okay, 240 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:41.440 Cheesebud is. I Am gonna go out on a limb and say one of 241 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:51.000 the most self aware male characters we have ever encountered, Cheesebud is very aware 242 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:55.839 of his anxiety. Again, seems wildly understanding in the face of Annie's rudeness. 243 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.119 Yeah, like, Cheesebud is just trying to figure this cliament and like 244 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:07.359 he becomes it takes so long before he becomes understandably frustrated with Annie. Yeah, 245 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:12.559 so like, look, I am from New Jersey, like born and 246 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:18.160 raised in New Jersey. I know that we have a refutation for being like 247 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:25.920 very direct, maybe a little aggressive. Annie even to me, I'm like, 248 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.920 whoa, Annie, you are very out of pocket right now because and 249 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.000 we're calling him Cheesebud because that is his Instagram handle and that's what he goes 250 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:40.519 by. That's always listened in the credits, he is trying to contact her 251 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:47.319 to figure out how they're splitting this group project, and he says, you 252 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:51.920 know, I'd really like to get a handle on this because we have a 253 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.799 big science project Doe next week as well. Oh that's the other thing. 254 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:03.640 Annie has been harassing her science teacher, as her mom say, sending emails 255 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.319 like Annie has just moved to Florida and you guys teach different, so she's 256 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.720 gonna need some time to adjust. She was a straight A student in New 257 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:18.160 Jersey, and Geraldine, the teacher comes back and is like, well, 258 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.319 guess what Annie's disruptive in class? I think this email is presumptuous, and 259 00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:27.200 no, Annie does not get more time, and so that Annie fires off 260 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:33.279 a very aggressive email about how the teacher is out of line and dah dah 261 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:38.480 da da da, and like you're not a psychologist, so you don't know, 262 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:47.200 like Annie jel. They're gonna be like this movie is tied up between 263 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.880 Annie, her parents, and a nice little bo Then will be repercussions after 264 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:55.680 this for every walk. What is so funny is that, like at you 265 00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:00.359 know, this is not a spoiler alert to say that Annie is going to 266 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.480 disclose to her parents all of this wackiness that she did and apologize. Her 267 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:12.200 mom has no idea how badly Annie has ruined her reputation. Like everyone is 268 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:17.480 going to take that. Michelle is a total crack pot, just firing off 269 00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:22.599 mean text and emails. Yeah, and the the financial cost is going is 270 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:27.319 nearly ten thousand dollars. Oh my gosh, I forgot about the concert ticket. 271 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:36.519 We'll get there. So but yeah, and she oh, hello, 272 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.920 he was sitting on my lap, which he rarely does. But then he 273 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.680 left. Now he's looking at the window. They had a visit from Oscar 274 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:52.799 the cat. But so, you know the and then when she finally sends 275 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.279 her apology email because spoiler and he apologizes. There everyone at the end of 276 00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:03.359 this movie, She's just like okay. And she will also stop daring people 277 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:10.799 to lick like chemist chemical strewn like you know, Bunsen burners and whatnot. 278 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:17.880 No, so she Annie was daring other classmates to lick the stirs that they 279 00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.720 use in the beakers when they're stirring chemicals. Annie, come on, and 280 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:27.680 she said, and I quote, she realizes it's not funny. My friend 281 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.920 is a junior high teacher in science class and she has to be so vigilant 282 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.319 to keep the kids from eating the stuff that they are using for the labs, 283 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:42.079 and she is so scared that one of them is going to eat something 284 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:49.160 and really damage themselves. Annie is not twelve, she knows better. I 285 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:55.359 was terrified in both chemistry and wood shop. And cheers to the guys in 286 00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:00.799 wood shop who were more capable than me, because they were a lot of 287 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:02.559 times like Frank, Frank, frek no, no, no, no, 288 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.720 with your thumb, with your thumb, thank you, Like they were like 289 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:11.359 hearing the mom can't cook guys talk about which shop they were like, I 290 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.759 don't know what shop in America you have to it's like required that you slice 291 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.359 off a finger, right, you lose a thumb. Yeah, Like there 292 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.400 were times they were like, Frank, this is pretty sure you you want 293 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.319 me to just to do it? And they they were very helpful and like 294 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:26.640 because they knew I was gonna get hurt. Oh, so you were like 295 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.240 the little damsel in distress. Yes, for people who are at my age 296 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:37.400 or like a year older than they're like this slip of a boy does not 297 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.440 know how to use the bandsaw, Like what do you call the opposite of 298 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:47.880 bullying, just being friendly. Yes, I you know, I was scared 299 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.960 all through high school and I'm like, oh, nobody's gonna bother me. 300 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.200 But my friend was asking me about a park by my house and I'm like, 301 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.160 it's a pretty nice park. There are no creeps hanging out. And 302 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.519 she's like, she has two small children, and she's like, that is 303 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:08.079 your measuring stick for a park. I was like, think about the parks 304 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.880 that were around us when we grew up. There were always drug dealers hanging 305 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.240 out. And I'm like, they're the idiots we went to school with. 306 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.680 But there were drug dealers in our shitty parks. And she's like that is 307 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.119 true. Are you in my high school? I walked in on a drug 308 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.920 deal and I was like, Frank, didn't see you anything, You just 309 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:36.519 kept walking. But again, cheese but nicest guy that Cheesebud is used to 310 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:41.319 sort of punctuate the elevating of Annie's bad behavior. So like first he's like, 311 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.759 hey, I want to talk about the product. She's like not now, 312 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.799 I'm busy. And then he's like how about now, because hours and 313 00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.480 hours and hours are going by with her at the airport. And then she's 314 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.799 like, oh fine, let's talk about it. He's like, well, 315 00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.599 I think I should do chapters one through three, and you can do chapters 316 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:00.680 for through six, and these are some of the themes. And she's like, 317 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:07.880 oh, I'm over this. Bye, And then he like tries to 318 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:12.119 message her again about swaphing chapters and she completely blows her stack and is like, 319 00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:17.160 cheez, Bud, I need you to chill out. This is not 320 00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.920 life for death. I got real stuff going on, right Jesus Christ period 321 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:26.680 says it. He's like, I wish I had never asked you to be 322 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:33.079 my partner. I'm just gonna do this by myself, completely and totally justified. 323 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.720 Cheese Bud is the kind of guy who you inject him on a dating 324 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.440 app and he's like, okay that you know. That's good, that's okay, 325 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.920 it didn't work out. Best of luck to you. Yeah, safe. 326 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:51.079 And I have to say something for the actress that plays Annie. I 327 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:56.240 feel like we've had a lot of protagonists that sort of walked this path of 328 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:02.480 being very self involved with their their family's drama, and both the actress and 329 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:08.279 the way this role was written, I never disliked Annie as a character. 330 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.319 There were a lot of times where I was like, girl, you are 331 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.319 in danger. You have to stop. But like, I never disliked her. 332 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.880 I didn't find myself getting frustrated in the way I have with some other 333 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:25.240 movies, like a lot of those horse girl movies, the protagonist is written 334 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:30.759 so like one tract, maybe I just get it more that she, you 335 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:36.119 know, wants to be around her friends and graduate in a certain place versus 336 00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:41.759 taming a wild hourist and experience that I can't really relate to. But I 337 00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:47.279 like how she was written as a character, even when she was doing the 338 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:52.640 wrong thing. I was kind of like, I believe she'll figure it out. 339 00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:56.079 I agree with you, And I think a big part of that is, 340 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:02.160 like I think with the subtleties of the writing like and the performance you 341 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.640 can get you can kind of get the sense that if Annie wasn't under the 342 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:08.640 stress of her parents' divorce and being in a state she doesn't want to be 343 00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:12.920 in, she she would be like, she would be a good friend, 344 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.720 she would be like, you know, she'd be understanding, and she'd like 345 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:26.079 try Like it doesn't like all this. It feels like she is yes, 346 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:32.960 very much a hit the throttle kind of girl, like with her ideas yeah, 347 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.440 reaction, That's a much more elegant way to put it. But she 348 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.640 had, like underneath it all is a good heart, like you know, 349 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.240 if you were going through and she says like I like, she says this, 350 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.079 and I agree with her and her friends. If you guys are going 351 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:55.480 through something like this, I'd help you. But yeah, like no, 352 00:31:55.799 --> 00:32:00.759 I think she's just making mistakes and you know, like and again the mistakes 353 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:07.200 will escalate in severity and sort of reactions. Yeah, like going back to 354 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:14.799 my Davy, my Debbie, like comparison before, there were moments where it's 355 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:19.640 like, oh my god, DEVII really like when her friends were like Fabula 356 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.400 had just come out and like, I forget what's going on Eleanor, and 357 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:27.880 she's just like, oop's gotta go run over because Paxton needs me. I 358 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:31.759 was like, oh, Eleanor's mom had abandoned her. Oh that was it, 359 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.640 and she and then she like blew up on them, and I was 360 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:39.480 like, and they gave her the sound treatment for a while, and they 361 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:44.440 and she deserved it. And I was also disappointed Debbie. Annie. I'm 362 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.559 just like, Annie, You're trying your best at a very difficult circumstance, 363 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:52.640 and this is just an afternoon of you being bad. But again she's very 364 00:32:52.680 --> 00:33:00.359 good at it. So what happens is in no particular order. She I 365 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.279 mean, we're in a particular runner. She decides that in order to get 366 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.880 her parents back together, they should definitely go to a Bruce Springsteen concert, 367 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:13.039 very Jersey of them. That's where they met. Her mom had snuck down 368 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:17.160 to the first row where her dad had left his seat to go on a 369 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:22.400 beer run, and they ended up hooking up that night. She was married 370 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.960 nine months she was married, she was born nine months later into that terrible 371 00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:34.319 photoshop photo. And so she's like, Oh, they definitely want floor seats 372 00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:38.640 to a Bruce Springsteen concert. These floor seats were very realistically priced at like 373 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:46.720 twelve hundred dollars each, and she said, like, I guess somewhere in 374 00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:51.599 the ballpark of twenty five hundred to three thousand dollars on these tickets. This 375 00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:58.480 is after but after the shopping spree that she went on at the Nord Drums 376 00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:05.200 where she ended up about forty five dollars. Yes, And so she puts 377 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:13.199 her dad's email into when she's paying for the tickets so that he gets one 378 00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:16.639 of the tickets. He immediately texts his ex wife and is like, what 379 00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:22.320 is going on with you? And she's like, I thought for old times 380 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.960 sake, and he says, is this because I'm introducing Annie to Courtney with 381 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.559 a K this weekend? And Annie's like, watch watch what? So she 382 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:37.599 figures out that her dad is dating this woman. Courtney decides that he needs 383 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:44.760 to receive a cookie cake from his ex wife at work, and so they 384 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:51.760 have a little brother go in with a GoPro on his head. I thought 385 00:34:51.760 --> 00:35:00.400 this part was very funny, and he is supposed to be playing oh, 386 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:05.480 Alison's little brother, Christian, who she's been babysitting and he's been terrorizing her 387 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.440 for the entirety of the movie up to this point. Christian goes in with 388 00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:15.159 the gofro on his head and is saying, Hello, Hello, is anyone 389 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:22.159 here? Cookie delivery? Courdy with a K comes over, Christian is staring 390 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:29.960 at her declotage, gives her the cookie cake and she realizes it's addressed to 391 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:35.639 her boyfriend. She starts flipping out. Christian runs away. Obviously. Annie 392 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:42.519 says that was a disaster, and you know, I basically none of this 393 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:46.519 is gonna work, and you guys should have done better and her friend and 394 00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:52.800 insults Alison Nita Meyer, who UH has started hanging out with their friend group. 395 00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:59.480 They hang up with her. She then tries to call her mom. 396 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.800 Her mom had dropped her. Oh. She watches her mom's Ted Talk and 397 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:15.079 she Annie had edited the opening remarks for her mom's Ted Talk to have Lizzo 398 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:21.599 lyrics and I don't know why. Michelle just reads them out loud and then 399 00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:23.880 it's like, I'm so sorry. It just kind of goes on as if 400 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:30.159 that didn't happen. So she has that disease that Ron Burgundy did an anchorment 401 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:39.480 where so then she has the sort of come to Jesus moment with Cheese Bud 402 00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:47.360 when he's like, you need to apologize, and she apologizes to Susan from 403 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:57.880 the PTA the realtor, and UH realizes that making her mom undateable on match 404 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:05.199 dot com when her mom had given up a good prospect in the sky Tom 405 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:12.079 because she wanted to concentrate on her daughter. Maybe Annie starts to have regrets. 406 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.639 So then her friends are like, uh, we have a bigger problem. 407 00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:17.480 Courtney with a K has gone viral. She attacked your dad with cake 408 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:24.000 and accused him of cheating. So then Annie facetimes her dad and her dad 409 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:31.199 is covered in cake and work with ever dating when you're working with yes? 410 00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:37.400 And Annie says, you know, like can you salvage things with Courtney? 411 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:45.079 And he's like, I don't particularly think I want to. Yeah. Also, 412 00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:49.920 I want to say the one unbelievable part of this movie is that when 413 00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:54.320 Christian walked in shouting about a delivery, immediately there wasn't like a bunch of 414 00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:58.000 people getting up to go see what was going on. I've been in an 415 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.119 office before. The minute anything happens, I'm completely distracted from my work. 416 00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:07.239 I'm like, oh, what's going on? Somebody say Cookie abandoned? There 417 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.320 was all like three employees there, just kind of milling around in the back. 418 00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:16.320 Even more reason for them to abandon than nothing they were doing. But 419 00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:22.039 like, yeah, so Annie and her father have a heart to heart and 420 00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:28.159 I love the honesty in this dialogue where he's like, your mom and I 421 00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:31.760 were terrible to one another, Like we were terrible together to one another, 422 00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:37.239 but for each other. Yeah, he says she was the one, but 423 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.039 now she's not anymore. Yeah, And like he's very understanding of everything that's 424 00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:46.079 going on. But let's face facts. The ship is the ship. Storm 425 00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.880 is coming for the mom, not for him, the financial one, I 426 00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:55.400 should say, the maligning of all of the professional and personal relationships in her 427 00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.440 life. I do want to do you want to point out a few things 428 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:07.639 about I also great how good Christian was. But the line that made me 429 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:15.480 bust out laughing is when Allison answers the phone, or when like they were 430 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:22.039 figuring out how to they can't just send the cookie cake for delivery, they 431 00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:27.760 need somebody to go pick it up. And well it's it's Lindsay and who 432 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:43.360 else are friends? But it's Alison lind Lindsay and oh gosh, I bring 433 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:49.199 Like, here's the problem. The IMDb just has the actresses like Lindsay's actually 434 00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:55.239 Lindsay's the blonde one, right, yes, okay, yeah, Like actually 435 00:39:55.280 --> 00:40:00.920 J's characters name isn't there? Maria Canals Barrera who played Core, her name 436 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:05.000 isn't there. Kylie Russell, who played one of the the non Lindsay friend 437 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.400 whose name I cannot remember. Her name isn't there? Emily Skinner who played 438 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:16.079 Lindsay. Lindsay's character name isn't there? This movie has eleven people. But 439 00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:22.039 anyway, Allison, the unwanted friend is the one who will pick them up 440 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.440 and take them to the thing. And he's like, so, Allison, 441 00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:29.079 how do you already have your license? Did you get held back a year? 442 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:35.599 And the actual stink or the casual stank that an he puts on that 443 00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:38.599 phrase made me lose my goddam mine of laughter. It is such a good 444 00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:44.000 line delivery and the fan that Allison puts up with it and just kind of 445 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.159 ignores the barb. I'm just like, good on you, Allison, Rise 446 00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:51.360 above it, Rise above like black flag. I do want to like spend 447 00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:53.960 the last part of this episode talking about the relationship with the friends, because 448 00:40:54.000 --> 00:41:00.239 I think that was very well written and very very real. But like, 449 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:07.920 eventually Annie calls her mom. It's the last person she calls, and she's 450 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:17.039 like, oh, thank god you're still there. She talks about how like 451 00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:23.480 they have a chat, and you know, her mom is like, why 452 00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:30.480 am I getting a four thousand dollars notification from nor Strums? Like, and 453 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.800 they talk, they you know, tell each other, they love each other, 454 00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:36.559 and they forgive each other. And then the mom is now going to 455 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:38.840 go through now is going to invade her daughter's privacy, because she's on her 456 00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:45.599 daughter's laptop and points out that her daughter's password was also easy to get. 457 00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:50.400 Like the film ends with any like, no, Mom, don't go in 458 00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:54.440 there. She's like, mom, no, Mom. Like and this is 459 00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:59.960 in the sequel f F two, Michelle finds out her daughter rights Keen to 460 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:07.039 Hearts fan fiction. She's like, who told you to be this big of 461 00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:12.800 a nerd? She's like, no, Mom, I I figured out the 462 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:16.199 plot to Kingdom Hearts. Like, don't you lie to me? Nobody knows 463 00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:22.599 the plot the Kingdom Hearts. This is like way too inside baseball for me. 464 00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:27.320 I'm like, I believe you. But the Kingdom Hearts fans they know 465 00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:31.679 what's up. I'm sure they do that plot line levery theme at best, 466 00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:38.000 They're like, oh that thing with like the sword key things. Yeah, 467 00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:42.920 It's just like why is Cloud here? Why is Well here? Why did 468 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.920 we combine five Fantacy and Disney? Why did it work so well? But 469 00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:51.440 still confusing? Who knows? Okay. I did see a very good TikTok 470 00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:58.559 where somebody pointed out that Usher was using his Super Bowl performance to summon Kingdom 471 00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:00.039 Hearts. I'm like, this is so good if I can find it. 472 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:06.119 I'll put it on the Facebook anyway. Let's talk about the friend group. 473 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:15.239 Annie does not like change, especially the change that she is not there for. 474 00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.599 She does not like Alison joined the group. Much like the Pretty Little 475 00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:22.920 Liars, she is not a big fan of Alison. Mm hmm, you 476 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:29.920 know which one is? Okay again to Inside Baseball, is that the what 477 00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:34.119 you keep calling a people sized dollhouse but it's actually just a regular house? 478 00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:37.960 No? No, Mona is the one who had the people who had the 479 00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:44.119 reguar house. But she was keeping Spencer's evil twin in mm hmm, and 480 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:50.880 somebody else who I forget who was not another Spencer, but yeah, she 481 00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:57.960 was keeping them in. And no, Allison is the really mean person who 482 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:04.719 for some reason everybody pretended was sad was missing. Okay, so right, 483 00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:09.519 right, but is she a No, she wasn't a. There were other 484 00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:13.920 people that were A. I think Ezra, I think there was. Just 485 00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:19.519 Ezra was a for a little bit because he became obsessed with Alison, you 486 00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:24.480 know, because he's a disgusting, awful man. Right. I saw something 487 00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:30.079 recently where they were talking about how it might have been I love like a 488 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:36.800 deep dive on a conspiracy on YouTube. It's like how I found out about 489 00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.519 mewing And my friend who's a teacher, is like all of the students are 490 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:45.440 mewing now. They were shocked that she knew about it. She's like, 491 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:52.719 I have a friend that watches weirdo TikTok not TikTok YouTube. But someone was 492 00:44:52.760 --> 00:45:00.760 talking, probably in a video preview about how Pretty Little Liars basically was like 493 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:09.920 pre grooming because they never like really kind of said like this is bad and 494 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:15.159 I have not watched enough of it to like really speak to that. But 495 00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:21.000 was did anyone ever call Ezra al for being a predator? Was anyone ever 496 00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:27.079 like Ezra your predator? No? And he like when he goes to talk 497 00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:31.920 to his the parents about it, wait, he like knocks on the door 498 00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:37.360 and they're like, hi, who are you And he's like actually, basically 499 00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:45.239 and like he uses the Romeo and Juliet laws mean, like the Romeo and 500 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:53.960 Juliet laws is basically like like as long as nothing happened before the person was 501 00:45:54.000 --> 00:46:01.760 like eighteen, ye, yeah, that's it is. It is a troubling 502 00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:07.960 thing. If that's your opening salvo. Yeah, He's like okay, okay, 503 00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.760 okay, I know, I know you're not gonna love this. I 504 00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:16.159 know this looks terrible and I'm a predator, but the laws on my side. 505 00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:22.679 But hear me out. I thought about this long and hard to figure 506 00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:27.800 out how to manipulate it in my favor, and I think I finally got 507 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:31.079 there. Spoilers for the end of season five. I was really bunned when 508 00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:35.960 Ezra got shot and didn't die. I was like, just write him off. 509 00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:39.320 He just gets shot. Send Aria on like a like revenge Quest. 510 00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:44.880 It would be such a better show if Ezra was not in it. But 511 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:52.519 no, they let him live. They let him live anyway. So, 512 00:46:52.599 --> 00:47:06.320 speaking of our our current pretty liar, Annie it she So I'm gonna call 513 00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.719 the person Kylie because I can't remember her name off the top of my head, 514 00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:14.679 and I'm gonna I'm gonna see if there's a Wikipedia page about this. 515 00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:22.239 But she's constantly doing fun makeup and throughout this movie, like at a certain 516 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.719 point they're like like like, uh, Kylie, you look like a drag. 517 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:29.800 Queen's like, thank you, That's what I was going for. Yeah, 518 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:37.280 she does joker makeup. Yeah, and Okay, another thing that she 519 00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:45.079 uh Another thing that Annie buys is she buys a pizzas for all her friends, 520 00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:52.599 but not but not Alison because Allison is not her friend. Well, 521 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:59.079 I mean, Allison's on the call, so you can't really blame Annie for 522 00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:01.760 not buying pizza for Allison, who she didn't even know was in the friend 523 00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:06.760 group. Yet, the confusing thing for me in this movie is that at 524 00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:12.599 a certain point she says that each of the girls says they're going to a 525 00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:15.639 different class, and I'm like, wait, is this happening during COVID where 526 00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:22.039 things are online still or what? Because they're calling from home and then like 527 00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:23.840 we're gonna go to class and I'm like, should the school day be going 528 00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:31.039 on that? It's confusing, but you know what, in a good movie, 529 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:37.400 I'm much more willing to ignore stuff like that, you know, like 530 00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:43.039 if this was if this was after Oh boy, when I harped down on 531 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.360 that. But you know what, once we'll slip up. I don't care, 532 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:49.320 And they might be I don't know how schools are run currently. There 533 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.480 might be a thing where maybe they went home for lunch. I don't know. 534 00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:58.800 But they could also be a tent no, because they're all in high 535 00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:05.639 school. I was about stay called, but are we sure this is not 536 00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:12.440 a weekend. I mean they said they were going to class. I don't 537 00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:17.320 know, Okay, it doesn't matter. Her friends are both also hysterical the 538 00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:22.360 way they deliver lines, Like they keep doing the wazz app thing that was 539 00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:30.400 popular when like Cissy and I were teenagers from the budweiserd It's very funny, 540 00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:40.440 and they're like really into Like someone puts a scream gift of the which I 541 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:49.440 think is from scary movie, so it's quite a throwback. Yeah, she 542 00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:57.719 uh, like they're running commentary is amazing. Like at a certain point, 543 00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:01.559 they're just referring to the man that Michelle is dating as daddy, and Annie 544 00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:06.519 cannot dissuade them from doing it. She's like, do you have to go 545 00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:15.559 with Daddy? Like yes, they are, Like at a certain point they 546 00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:22.960 refer they say you're dad's dating at ten Maybe it's okay. They basically say, 547 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.159 you're dad's dating a smoke show and he seems happy, Like why didn't 548 00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:30.800 you just let him live? Yeah? And Annie's like, never, he 549 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:37.719 will bend to my will. And I think they also just casually bring up 550 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:42.719 that one of the girls is by I think Lindsay is when they talk about 551 00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:46.639 all the different girls, guys and girls she's had pressures on, and at 552 00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:50.519 a certain point, like it's like, hey, before that was Sailor Move, 553 00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:53.599 before that was Peppermint Patty, and Lizzy's just like, hey, you 554 00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:58.840 cannot tell me you didn't also think Peppermint Patty was a smoke show. Yes, 555 00:50:59.559 --> 00:51:02.480 I feel Peppermint Patty grow to me. Margaret Qualley's character and drive Away 556 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:10.719 Dolls, I would agree. Yeah, so yeah, Oh, there's also 557 00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:16.280 a new Peanuts like cartoon coming on on Netflix called Welcome Home Franklin. Ah 558 00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:22.239 cute, yeah, which I always slope like yeah, because my name isn't 559 00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:25.199 used in a whole lot of stuff, Like my friends make fun of me 560 00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:28.840 for this, but I'm always like, guys, it's my name, you 561 00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:36.000 know. Like so I always had a special kinship to like Franklin from the 562 00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.280 Peanuts because he was a cool guy on like that stupid turtle that I hate 563 00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:42.159 on this very day, and that turtle didn't do anything wrong, but all 564 00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:47.199 my friends made fun of me and use that turtle as an example. I 565 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:53.000 mean, so the turtles catching unwant like undeserved smoke is what you're saying. 566 00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:57.840 Maybe that turtle grew up and joint like Joined does an auxiliary teenage man naga 567 00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:02.599 turtle. That's what I'm gonna imagine. But yeah, and like it is 568 00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:07.159 heartbreaking when Annie falling like turns on her friends and starts blaming them for this. 569 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:12.000 And I have to say, like, I beta Allison was there for 570 00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:17.320 them even though she was just insulted twice by Annie. She's like she's going 571 00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:23.920 through a lot. Yeah, I mean that's what happened with Jonah stepping in 572 00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:30.679 when David was being like ridiculous and never have I ever, So you know, 573 00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:35.400 sometimes when one friend is not being great, another can be the support. 574 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:39.480 But I think we would both recommend this movie, right, Oh, 575 00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:44.719 I would definitely recommend this movie. I like when you told me the concept 576 00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:46.639 of like, eh, that's that's that sounds okay. Then I got to 577 00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:50.480 watch it, like this is a very good movie. Yeah, I definitely 578 00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:54.039 enjoyed it. It's, like I would say, still pretty light even with 579 00:52:54.159 --> 00:53:00.440 the content it covers. And I watched it on Hoopla, which is a 580 00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:05.360 library app, and Frank watched it on TV so you can find it places 581 00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:07.719 for free as well. You know, you know what I did like is 582 00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:15.159 on the IMDb app on my tablet. It showed me where stuff is streaming 583 00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:16.679 on. So you look at a movie, it's like, oh it's here. 584 00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:22.199 That's very that's super useful. Like I can't tell you how many weeks 585 00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:25.000 we go to record and I'm like, Frank, where am I finding the 586 00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:35.400 movie this week? So frantically googleing. So next week we're doing Zaft, 587 00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:42.800 which is the zend A movie. I am very excited about it.
