Welcome to teen Girl Talking Girl Talk. I'm Czi, Coda A Frank and
Coda, and this week we are joy Ride. This is the raunchiest movie.
Yeah, I mean Bottoms was pretty raunchy. This hout does Bottoms by
a lot, Frank by a by a garden mile. Yeah, like,
I was pleasantly surprised. But let's say, not prepared at all. I
mean, it's not the raunchiest thing I've watched for teen Girl Talk. That
dirt movie was that Death Leppard. No, it was Mutley Crue. The
Mutley Crewe movie still takes a kick for the Yeah, I didn't watch that.
Yeah, put me out washing my hands, okay. Because you were
like, oh, it's grossed. I was like, oh, I don't
want to watch that, and then you're like, but I already watched it.
I was like, well, it sounds like you problem. I mean,
you did give me like two hours of free rate of not watching stuff,
so I've all but I've catched in all of it. At this point,
I've forgotten want shows. I know that the second season of Kril Summer
you were like, no, I just can't. I mean, yeah,
but that I had already used it way before Kurl Summer M. I wonder
what it was. But okay, so this movie is your classic four friends
on a road trip movie, but it is nuanced and varied in a way
that is like very fresh and exciting and also again incredibly unanticipated. I guess.
So Frank watched the movie first and told me that he was like screaming,
laughing, and I was like, okay, I'm I'm ready, but
I didn't know what to expect. Go again, and I watched him was
like, holy shit. So we have four friends and we get like a
little kid flashback for one of the first scenes, and it is Audrey and
Lolo and they are in incredibly white down in I think Seattle. I guess
they're like in a suburb of Seattle and they're at the playground. Audrey has
been adopted, so her parents are white, but Lolo's parents had emigrated from
China, and you can tell that they have been through sort of the cycle
of white ignorance before, where they're like, yes, we're from China,
Yes we speak English, yes we're we moved here a while ago, and
Audrey's parents are just kind of like, oh great, did your daughter want
to play with our daughter, and they're like, I guess though, and
this is my first big laugh break because a shitty little kid comes up and
uses a slur that I am not going to repeat, and then Lolo punches
him. Then he sort of like stubbles forward, and then a girl on
a swing boots him, like swings in and boots him across the la.
I was like, oh my god, it's like the other one here,
and you're like, this is a kid. On the other hand, You're
like, but this kid sucks. I feel like this is the starting shot
of the movie, being like, look, you were going to laugh at
a bunch of shit. You should not be laughing at. It's going to
be a lot. And then I think then we go straight to title credits,
right where we get the montage with them growing up together. Yeah,
like and apparently they are just really okay with with Lolo, like just every
year during picture week, just flipping the bird to the camera. I was
just like, I guess, I guess after a few years they were just
like, she's just gonna do it, might as well just accept it.
I mean, I guess so. But also I feel like that artwork was
like a little more problematic because She's like, here's a shurtle. Here's a
shurtle with but cheeks, like very fellica. Yeah, because I was kind
of like, what sort of teacher was like, Yeah, if you want
to hold your art work up during the like school picture, that's fine.
And I'm like, well that doesn't really like follow the whole the whole process,
but I mean unimportant. It's to let us know that Audrey is busy
winning ribbons and being super good at school and Lolo could definitely give a shit
and is off being a free spirit sort of badass. Can I just tell
two quick stories from my high school art experiences, mainly in pottery? Okay,
we do see a penis bong. Dylan and I argued about whether Lolo
made a butt bong or a penis bong. I think it was this bong.
He thought it was a butt bong. Okay, so yeah, so
that was part of it. Is My teacher was just like, if you
try and make a bong, I will it will get in f and I
will destroy it. Yeah, and then somebody else is like, okay,
but teach, what if I wanted to make a spoon, but like you
could drink the milk out of the handle, so it had like a straw
in the handle, and she's like, do you mean like a pipe.
She's like, nah, not a pipe, a spoon with a straw in
it. And she's like, I here's the other thing. You should not
be eating or drinking at a fired pottery unless it is professional grade. So
definitely not drinking or eating or smoking out of high school fired pottery. She
also showed us this this guy making a kiln like it's it was clearly this
video is from the eighties. This guy made a like at home kiln,
but very clearly and like you know how these like those apartment complexes that kind
of wrap around one big like common area. Yeah, so this guy was
just like digging up his yell, like digging up this common area and build
this pretty sizable kiln in this apartment complex. And then it was firing his
pottery in the middle of the apartment complex. I'm just like, is a
sequel to this him like homeless And he's like, I've made another kiln and
it's just like a trash can and he's like, yeah, I'm gonna fire
my new pottery. He just throws in some newspaper to keep himself warm.
I mean, because the thing is shoe. Even if he owned like let's
say he owned the condor or apartment or whatever, you can't just dig up
the lawn. Also, you have to like contact I don't know who.
I don't I've never built anything, but I'm pretty sure there's like pipes and
stuff in the ground, so I mean I would be careful. Yeah,
I thought you were going to say that it exploded. No. Really,
all I know about kilns is what I've learned from Jane and Daria's mom,
because she's always talking about like hotspots and her kiln and stuff. And she
doesn't care what Trend and Jane do because you know, they're artists, so
it's fine. I'm on. Yeah, those are just two things I want
to bring out that that uh and my art teachers is classed that keenas Bong
never would have flown. Also, I was also now remembering that movie dude
we did where like there was that big thing over Donkey Bong. I don't
remember this at all. I believe you, but I I don't remember this
movie. It was not a great movie. There was someone in it though,
right, like there were like actual stars in it. Lucy Hale Aquafina.
Yeah, did that come out during the pandemic? I think no,
I came up before it. We might have just did it during the pandemic.
Yeah, but what was the premise of that? It was, But
it's kind of the similar thing. A bunch of teenage friends were trying to
get over the death of Lucy Hale's brother and she was just like, mom,
donkey Bong is very important to the memory of my brother, and her
Mom's like, I'm destroying donkey Bong. Okay, I don't remember any of
this. It does sound like very hacky writing. Yeah, it wasn't great.
Well, like, so, okay, did you make sense why I
don't remember it? But you know it is great. So to bring us
up to speed of where Lolo and Audrey are right now, they are so
Audrey is living in a house, Lolo is living in the like, I
don't know, I would say the guest house, guest house out back.
Frank was about to say shed. It's definitely not a shed is a domicile.
We see, like, you know, Audrey's movie up at the ranks
as a lawyer. Lolo is just kind of continually making more phallic and sexual
art. Get a very cringey scene where Audrey is, what is that called
it? What is that squash? I was gonna say wall ball squash with
the mostly male or all male, all white, all lame from all what
the all all lamee? Yeah? So her boss is like, her boss
knows enough buzz word. This character is written great because the boss knows the
enough buzz words to know what he should be saying, but also it is
very misguiding cringe e. So he talks about being an ally, says some
ignorant stuff basically about Asian culture, like broadly about Asian culture, and tells
her that she needs to like steal this deal with China Wave by going over
there and wooing the CEO who is going to be played by Ronnie Chang from
the Daily Show. And Megan is how I know him and from fighting with
Hussan Minaje on which we call it instagram a lot. I mean they seem
to be BFFs or frenemies. I can't tell, And she's like, sure,
I can definitely do that. I'm bringing a translator. And one of
like the shitty white dudes questions whether she is fluent, and she says to
him, yes, I did. He says, well, how do you
say that? I'm fluent in conversational Chinese. So she says to him,
I practice for an arrow on due lingo, and obviously he doesn't understand,
so he's like, whoa. So then we have a little going away party
with the two sets of parents, and Audrey's parents are showing pictures from when
Audrey was adopted, and Lolo says, you know, like, oh,
look, written in Chinese in the back of this photo is the adoption agency
and we should see if we can find your birth mother. And Audrey's like,
I don't know. I really don't want to like this. This is
a business trip. And she keeps repeating that this is a business trip.
This is a business trip, and Lolo's like, but we used to talk
about this all the time as kids. You know that you want to meet
you know, know where you came from and meet your birth mother. And
so then Audrey's like, I don't know, and they get ready to go
on the trip. Once they're at the airport, Lolo springs on her Oh,
my cousin dad I is gonna come, and immediately Audrey bristles and says
like, I don't know. If that's a great idea. They they never
define what dead I did that part of Audrey's hair burned off, but it's
uh, it is mentioned, so gives me big Hazel energy. Yes.
She is played by Sabrina Woo, who is a Canadian comedian. I believe
Dilshaw me a clipper. Her stand up it's it's pretty good and she I
generally think that everybody had so much fun on this movie from what I could
tell, But it seems like she is really leaning into this character who's very
like kind of wacky, and initially Lolo says like, oh, don't worry
about it. She's not gonna hang out with us. She's super into BTS
and she's gonna go hang out with her BTS friends, and Audrey is dubious.
But it's too you know, it's basically too late. They're at the
airport. She confiscates some stick lighters from Dead Eye and it's like, okay,
let's go. So they get there. There's like a conversation about like
tourists versus like residents. I don't I don't know how, and that it's
easy for people who live in China to delineate who, like who's in American
Tourists. Yeah, we get kind of like, uh, we get an
explanation, kind of like Aquafina gives Constance Wu in Crazy roch Asians are any
teen movie where they're going through the Cafeterian defining the different groups of people,
like where they're like this is so and so group, and this is so
and so group. Yeah. So they they're also going to go meet Audrey's
friend Cat, who is a Chinese like TV star on this like period drama
kind of show. They went to college together. They were college roommates.
Yeah, and Audrey reveals something too Lolo that I guess also to Dadie,
but Dadi doesn't seem to care that Lolo is now obsessed with finding out information
about even though Audrey is like, how like do not mention that, She's
like, oh, I'm going to mention this NonStop because the thing is that
Lolo things. Lolo is clearly jealous and thinks that Kat might be kind of
lame, and in order for Audrey to prove to Lolo like, oh no,
she's pretty cool, you guys will have a lot in common, she
lists off like oh, she you know, used to be like very into
dating and like you know, pursuing people, and she has a tattoo on
her lady parts and Lolo's like, wait what and it wants more details,
and Audrey's like, I don't know, I really don't know. And She's
like, is it a big tattoo? Did she go in with ideas or
did she just tell the artists to like go ahead? And I'll just like,
I don't know. We really can't talk about this. So once they
get to the set, Kat is in the middle of a dramatic scene.
I think the show is called The Emperor's Daughter and she has been taken captive
by a bad guy. She's saved by like a very hunky leading man who
turns out to be her Beyonce Clarence, who is very religious, and they
are saving themselves for marriage. And Audrey's kind of like, because Kat is
telegraphic to her, I've always been a woman of God, as you know,
Audrey, and Audrey's like, yeah, well, it's like really,
And so they get ready for a night out on the town with the CEO
of China Wave and it's like a club and they're drinking, and initially he
does not let on this is Ronnie Chang's character. He does not lean on
that he can speak English, so she is letting Lolo and Kat translate for
her, and Lolo says, like, I would hit it hard. So
they do shots, and then after a thousand year egg shot, Audrey throws
up all over him, and he's kind of like, Okay, look,
I can speak English. I do know that your friend wants to sleep with
me. Yeah, it kind of sucks that you threw up all over me,
but I am having a birthday party for my mother, and I believe
that you can know who you're going into business with if you know where they've
came from and know their family. So Kat is sort of stumbling over this
because you know, she is not familiar with China, she hasn't met her
mother, and Lolo sort of swoops in and says, oh, well,
Audrey's super close with her mom. We're gonna go find her and we will
definitely be at this party. So they now have both their ticking clock and
their prime directive. By the weekend, they need to find Audrey's mom and
I guess convinced her to go to this like random dudes party, so it's
a pretty tall order. They decide, Oh, go ahead, yeah,
sorry, I was going through the IMDb. Audrey's terrible boss's name is Frank.
He reminds me so that actor reminds me so much of Paul what's his
name from How Paul Sheer? From How Did This Get Made? His name
is Timothy Simmons. Yeah, it's not Paul Sheer, but he sounds like
Paul Sheer and Timothy Simons. You are a good looking man. This mustache
and you're rying deb does not do you any favors. Wow, Frank's coming
out with the the harsh critique no mustaches. I'll send you this picture,
okay. But yeah. Also also, Audrey vomits on dead eye. Who
takes it like a chance is yeah, not fothered. She convinces a man
in like a local I don't know if it's a T shirt stand or a
food stand or something, to literally host her off. So there's a little
bit of bickering about how they're going to accomplish this pretty tall order, and
they decide to, uh, you know, just push through with this kind
of wacky plan and make it happen. So the next day they're on the
train and they're looking for a train car to sit in and these are the
types of trains where they're almost like smaller rooms rather than rows of seats.
So we see Audrey choosed to not sit in either of the cars that have
other Chinese people in them, but to pick the car with like the shadiest,
sort of twittiest white woman. And her friends are understandably dubious about this
choice, and so Audrey's really leaning into it and she's like, oh,
how long have you been here? What's it like? And this woman is
just sort of like squeaking out of her mind. She's like, it's great
here. The Chinese youth are great. And Audrey's like, I've heard the
crime has gone up. So this woman starts getting like very agitated, and
it turns out that she's a drug dealer, and as she goes to poke
her head outside of the little cabin, Lula's like, Audrey, what the
fuck? She is clearly suspicious and a drug dealer, and Audrey like,
what, No, she's just a nice American girl like us. So then
the drug dealer popped her head back in is like, they are going to
search our bags. You guys are either going down with me or you're gonna
help me, and they're like what, No, we're not gonna help you.
She opens up a balloon of cocaine and showers cocaine over all of them,
a move that apparently was in the preview because they'll remembered it, but
I didn't, so I was genuinely shocked. Oh no, so we see
them like eating pills, doing it. Enough cocaine to kill a horse,
like I don't know why you would want your horse to do cookine, but
it definitely could not handle this amount of cocaine and swallowing condoms. Yeah,
dead eye shouts, I'm I'm not ready to have sex lunched lunch. Yeah,
she's handed a condom. So eventually the people pass by, but Jess
the drug dealer, uh just the drug dealer or claims Cat's very fancy bag
as her own. And the problem with this is Jess not Jess. Cat
told Audrey to put all their passports, which is a terrible idea when you're
traveling. Don't put all passports in one place into her bag instead of Audrey's
money belt. Always keep you your passport on you. Well that's you know
what that one, But don't keep give them on one place. I mean,
the other part is it's very if you get stuck in a like a
train car with a drug dealer, then in the mayhem that ensues when she's
trying to start drugs on your person and herself, your backpack full of passports
may go missing. And that's not actually what happens, because I assumed when
she gets up to go to the bathroom and she's acting super suspicious the drug
dealer again I don't remember if that character has a name, and she's like,
oh, I have my period. Oh no, I'm bleeding it.
It looks really weird and very all footing. Like the female body is beautiful
in all its processes, but sharing with strangers that you are bleeding and clearly
faking it, honestly is all footing. So I thought then she was going
to take the back pack, but apparently the backpack is in the locked suitcase.
And then the woman just straight up steals Cat's suitcase. It's like,
this lady sucks. So the police are like, we don't want to look
in your butts and like and again this is the movie's heightening. So Audrey
gives like a clearly stone out of her absolute mind speech about how she's a
lawyer, she's a good lawyer, but she's wearing like a camusle topic it's
clearly all bumpy with drufts, and they're like whatever, we're just gonna kick
you off of the train. So the drug dealer and we don't know what
happened to her. She's still the suitcase and they're on the side of the
road, just completely zonked. DEDI is trying to eat a cat tail.
Cat is terrified that she still has she has taken seven balloons a cocaine out
of herself and is worried that there's an eight and Lolo is describing it as
she needs to reach in and get it like a claw mache. It's like
this whole At this point, you're like, I am just on the ride
with this movie, Like I just need to sit back and embrace the absolute
absurdity of what's happening, because the best part is obviously the actresses. No,
this is nuts, but everyone's just kind of like, Okay, well,
you have to get that eight balloon of cocaine out of you. So
then we look keep saying do not worry about it. My Instagram Boo Baron
Davis, who I did not know as a basketball player. Dil was like,
oh, yeah, he's a basketball player is coming to get us,
and so ok ahead, sorry, I also want to bring up the Audrey
is very like showing she's very addicted to cocaine. Now She's like, I've
wondered with that. Girl's a kid. Do you think she has more coke?
Yeah? And when dad I eats the cat tail and then runs into
the field, she's like, Dad, I, if you find more coke,
come back and it's like, well, I need if we're really you
know, sort of softballing ideas, like seven balloons of cocaine just came out
of cat, so you're good. I don't think you need more than that,
She tells cat if if you get a clean one, so I could
never I'm way too squeamish, Like yeah, so so yeah, Baron Davis
shows up with his with his excuse with Baron Davis and his basketball team who
are playing in China show up and this reminds me of a wedding I went
to where was that? Is that a hotel? And there's like a rugby
team staying there as well, And like me and one of the bride'smaids were
just like Jesus Christ. They are all so giant and muscular nands. Well,
when did they get to the hotel? We basically have a moment like
that because again, all the ladies are so high. Oh I shouldn't say,
oh the ladies dead Eye identifies as they them, but everyone is so
high and they're kind of what's up? Sorry, I was gonna say,
like I was reading the Wikipedia article. Dead Eye becomes the like non binary
by by the end of the movie. So when we get to the time
skip, like dead Eye is being referred to as they them, Okay,
but not before that. Yeah, but I mean I think we should just
use they them. Yeah, And I mean it's easy enough to say they
are checking out the basketball team dead I does not seem interested in like a
romantic pursuit, but they're pushed towards one of the players that is wearing a
BTS shirt. And so Kat's ex is there and David, I think,
as well as two dudes who are interested in Audrey. And so Audrey is
at the bar trying to train an email I believe to the adoption agency to
make contact with her birth mother. And so one guy comes up and he
can speak English, and he's with another guy who can only speak Chinese and
Hindi and everybody vind Yeah, what's the one guy that's like speaking English with
her? Okay? It's okay. So I'm going to describe the couples that
are going to spend the night together. It's spend the night together loosely.
In some cases, well, Kenny and our Vind are with Audrey, Baron
is with Lolo, Todd is with Kat, and Judging is with is with
Dad I Okay, so then they're like kind of vibing at the bar.
Audrey does this very funny thing where she says she speaks Gollum and does a
terrible Gollum impression and they look at her completely sort of perplex and she's like,
do you guys have that or hear it? And they're like, yeah,
it's like an international hit. In international success, we have Lord of
the Rags. Okay. So that is an underlying thing that we've not talked
about throughout this movie is Audrey's complete detachment from like you know, from her
from her country of origin, like you know, the on the side of
the road. The girls have an argument where Lolo says, like, if
you weren't so racist against your own people, like, you know, we
would not have gotten like our ship stolen by the one obvious drug dealer on
the train. And like then Audrey, this is one of my line that
I think it's so funny where she's like sometimes I fantasize about Splinter and it
was like he's a rat, which he's a good father. Yeah, that
was so. What I like is that they give the characters like a lot
of dimension. It's not just that Audrey is like kind of uptight and inflexible.
She is also a big weirdo like the rest of them. And I
think that is the difference between like mediocre writing and good writing, is they
let Audrey be strange and like have these friendships and also participate in the fun.
She's not just a wet she's both. She's a wet blanket who's like
this a work trip. This is a work trip and you guys are irresponsible
and da da da da da, even though she's kind of dragged everyone along
this way. But then we also get stuff like the golumn impression and her
being attracted to Splinter, like those I think are the kind of character touches
that make a movie like this so much more appealing and make it possible that
like the scenes that are coming up are not just egregious. You're like,
oh, these are multifaceted women who have a lot of desires, so yeah,
we can have a bunch of like really raunchy like sex scenes interspliced with
a dance battle and it feels natural. It doesn't feel like in a movie
like American Pie. And I know, I'm going back like twenty years and
that was sort of like the beginning of comedies where women were allowed to be
sexual too, instead of just being objects for men to serve pursue, And
there was a lot of that in American Pie as well. I'm not trying
to hold it up as an example, but I feel like that was the
point where movies start tentatively having a conversation about like, well, what if
women desired sex? And it's but everybody's feelings around sex are complicated, and
it's not just like men are animals that women need to avoid and women need
to be pursued by men, but like that this is a complex thing,
and I feel like this movie pays a lot of honor to that, where
they're like Loo and Cat say, a bunch of grishit and it's funny,
but they can also have these softer sides, like the conversation between Barron and
Lolo about art. It's like really cute and just feels like a regular conversation,
like she's like, this is what my art's pursuing and he's like,
oh, that's cool. Like it feels organic, And I really appreciate that
because and I think this is depression, especially with the writers strike, Like
good writing should be rewarded, people who write good things should get to write
more things. Yeah. Yeah, Like like of the matter is like it's
kind of the normal aspect is kind of reversed where it's just like the women
in this out of control in this movie and all the men are like at
least this group of men are so like well put together and responsible, like
so like one name. When tomorrow morning comes and they tied the women for
what happened, it feels real because they're just hearn Davis comes down to the
breakfast part and it's like, what did you do to my team? These
two men have a concussion. I think that the guy in the dance battle
with Deadye had like a torn acl or something. And then oh, what
was the name of the guy that was with Kat Todd you have to shop.
Yeah, so it got We don't need to describe exactly what happened.
You shouldn't just see it for yourself. It's very craping, but you know,
and all the ladies are kind of like, what are you gonna do?
Like then then like did I flips like flips? Oh my god,
that was so funny, Like did I just flips John game? Very fly?
I'm gonna have to play the game by myself. And then storms off
and a huff and I need again this is it feels realistic, like you
brought your friends to the party and they injured everyone. What the fuck?
Yeah, And so as he's stomping off, I think it's Audrey says like,
but you were a ride and or cat does and then Audrey's like,
don't worry, we will figure it out. And so they get to the
adoption agency by hitchhiking. And one of the things that was it Chris that
was talking to Audrey the night before had said to her was, you know,
you're using a lot of eye statements, and in China it's more about
the collective. I think Chris might be the actor's name is Chris Pang.
He plays Kenny. It's Kenny keny okay. So he says it is more
about the collective than the individual. So we see Audrey gets to experience China
through this hitchhiking and the people who drive them are really sweet and give them
food and at one point they're on like a motorbike with a little boy.
It's all. It's like all very whimsical and cute. When they get to
the adoption agency, it's just one woman and she explains that she provides a
service that when Korean teens have to give birth, but they just, you
know, it's a thing where their families just wanted to happen as fast as
possible and not bring attention to the family so that they can go home.
And she's saying this all in Chinese, so Audrey doesn't know what's going on,
and they have to explain to her, you're actually not Chinese, You're
Korean. And they had stayed at Kat's family the night before and Audrey had
been like really accepted by the family and she was feeling really good. Her
and dad Eye have like a moment where they connect. Now Audrey is feeling
really rejected and doesn't know how they're going to get to create because they don't
have passports or passports got stolen, and that's when Dead Eye says, they
have a friend that they can contact, and it's an internet friend. But
the plan is first they're spitballing plans that are all very bad but very funny,
and then the plan is to pose as a K pop group, get
on a jet and go over that way because K pop groups don't actually have
to go through airport security. The problem with this is that there is a
prickly airport security person and then the Instagram Internet friend comes brings fans, and
the airport security person says, fine, but prove to me you're a K
pop group, and so they all perform a version of Web but the lyrics
are changed. It's pretty funny. It's China specific. And then at the
end of the dance, someone steps on Cat's skirt and pulls it off and
apparently she is not wearing under fans and we see the tattoo. We get
an inside view of the tattoo. It's a lot and because it's being live
streamed, everybody knows about it. And Cat's whole thing is that she plays
the good girl characters and she had a movie lined up in La and now
she believes she's going to lose all this. Clarence shows up. Clarence is
upset and basically breaks off their engagement and runs away because the thing is the
tattoo is also a devil, so that's why she had kept it a secret.
So now everyone's upset they didn't get to Korea. And or they do
get to Korea. Yeah, they get they go on a shipping barge.
Yeah. And there's a part where like they're all sitting miserable and dirty amongst
the chickens and other animals and goats. Yeah, I think. Kat says
like, these chickens need to stop. And dad I just takes a chicken
and you hear like, oh, like, dad, I, did you
just kill a chicken? No? And so once they're all in Korea,
they they're still half in their k pop outfits. Kat is inconsolable about how
this is going to affect like her career and her engagement. And this is
where we have the sort of breakdown of the friend group. So everybody is
just throwing accusations all over the place and they all go their separate ways because
Kat and Lolo points out to Audrey that she's been selfish this entire time.
All they've done is try to help her, and she is too self consumed
to think about anything about herself. Audrey's upset because she didn't sign the account
because the CEO saw the live stream and knows that she's not with her mom.
Her boss, Frank, is also on this call and immediately fires her,
which sucks. And this whole time, Dady is in a shop buying
like the cutest little teddy bear drinks and it comes out saying four drinks for
four best friends. And then as they're all as they come out, the
other three friends are all screaming at each other, and dada I drops the
drinks and is horrified, and that's when everyone sort of stumps off to their
corners. Yeah, I'm just like, no, at least still be friends
with dad I. So then Audrey goes to her birth mother's grave and meets
get her widow, but her birth mother's widow because and initially I was like,
Wow, what a coincidence that he was there at the same time.
This later gets explained away, and he says that her friends let him know
that she was going to be there and they must be really good friends.
And Audrey sees a video of her birth mom that she took after she got
sick. This really made me cry. It was very sweet, and the
consulate comes through. Audrey is going to go home. She reconciles with all
of her friends. Kat reconciles with Clarence. Clarence explains that he was intimidated
and he assumed that cat you know, had had sex before. But he
wants to be with her and he loves her, and he explains that much
more graphic terms, but you get the idea. And so then we fast
forward to a year later. They are all on a girl's trip in Paris,
and it's very cute, and we get like an update. They're all
doing well. Audrey has opened her own practice, Kat is doing fine with
Clarence and Dead Eye. I can't remember what Dead Eye's plot point was.
Did I did get a tattoo? Yeah, let me see if they can
find on the Wikipedia did I? It's mostly I think that like Dead Eye
has fully accepted themselves as being non binary, Like that's that's the band of
their story. The movie ends with Dead Eye showing the tattoo, which is
in the same place as Kat's tattoo, and then all of the friends say,
oh, it glows, and the movie kind of ends with a zoom
in shot, like a sweeping zoom and shot as if I don't know how
to explain the shot, because the camera is as if it's looking up from
the tattoo, so the three actresses are peering over at it, and then
the movie es, Yeah, it's ridiculous. So I just wanted to bring
a brief note about the the excuse me, the man that Audrey meets at
her mother's grave, that's not her father, that's just her husband. I
just I'm not sure if we mentioned that. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm
also very excited that he is going to be playing fire Lord Ozi and the
live action Avatar Last Airbender Show. Oh okay, I was gonna say,
didn't they already make one of those? They made a terrible movie, but
Netflix seems to be trying to do their best to make like the Avatar Show
be better and by not having the big The big problem with the Avatar Lost
Airbender movie is that everybody was white except the bad guys, and also all
the bending was horrendously unimpressive. It's like just blowing some leaves. Like Okay,
So in the show, like you firebenders can just create fire like when
they like punch or whatever. In like the movie, they had to have
fire to bend, which somebody on Tumbler pointing out, like how funny would
that be if like that was what it's like in the show. And like
Zucha's like, okay, I'm gonna fight. You had to like like make
a tiny fire and he's just like with like the sticks, like he that's
ridiculous, Like you know, so it's funny. I'm not a stuily sure
if you call him Audrey's you know, step dad or whatever, but like
it's it's gonna be weird, just like to see him and like being such
a good guy here and then being the like one of the worst fathers and
Amatid the last air ventor oh right, because his kid is like on the
boat with them, right, and he's like mad at him all the time.
This kid is Zuko. Yeah, he's the one on the boat yeah
with the big scar that his father gave him or the airship or whatever it's
called. Yeah, and then he's just like also I'm going to applaud my
daughter for you know, killing people, and meanwhile I'm going to make my
son hunt down things I mediously. Yeah, so this little child one of
the worst dats Jet worst dats. So next week we're going to do wish
