WEBVTT 1 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.440 Welcome to teen Girl Talk. Teen Girl Talk. I'm Susie Coda, I'm 2 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.000 Franklin Coda, and this week, for extra credit, Frank is going to 3 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.039 take us on the journey. Well, we were going to play a game 4 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.719 a fun sure, Frank, I'm not even gonna try to bend this. 5 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:45.679 So it works with Susie's miscategorization. We're playing a game. So this is 6 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:52.079 called tagline toss up. What it is is I'm going to give Susie five 7 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.600 different taglines, and well not all at once, but I'm going to give 8 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.359 her a tagline and she's gonna have about a minute I'll cut out to come 9 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:07.000 up with a movie about it. Okay, Okay, So our first tagline 10 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:15.400 is this little dog has big ideas. Okay, I am going to say 11 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:25.840 that this is a Disney Channel original movie. Okay, so low budget and 12 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:34.359 bizarre. The little dog in question is a stuffy that has been brought to 13 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:46.159 life by a neighbor who is a wizard. Our Disney Channel protagonists has of 14 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.000 course lost a parent. You can roll the dice on which parent, and 15 00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:00.280 they realize that the we have to give the little dog a name, of 16 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:08.000 course, so I think they'll it'll be some cute contrivance where it's the company's 17 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:16.280 name on the dog's hangtag, almost like a Beanie Baby. So you probably 18 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:24.080 can't get the rights to Beanie Babies is gunned still around. It's not a 19 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:30.000 dog name though, well well most like Beanie babies there, they were all 20 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.120 Beanie babies, but they had individual names. Yeah, but I want them. 21 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.759 I I wanted to be even like more sort of ridiculous than that, 22 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.680 Like it's just the brand name. So let's say, but I don't think 23 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.639 that's gonna work, so we'll do a Beanie baby style and say Flopsy. 24 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:58.879 So Flopsy, who now that they've been animated or anthropomorphized, would like to 25 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.479 be referred to as mister Flop. For some reason, he sounds like Harold 26 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:13.479 Crane from Fraser And at first it's like not very sort of like into working 27 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:19.159 with our protagonists. He thinks he can move faster without them, and eventually 28 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:28.039 they go on a journey together and become friends. But the wizard neighbor. 29 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:35.800 The Wizard neighbor dies, that's too tragic. The Wizard Neighbor only has a 30 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:42.159 limited amount of magic power powder that he animated Flopsy with. Why he animated 31 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:49.680 Flopsy will never ever be divined because it doesn't need to. Oh. Also, 32 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:57.719 the parent that is still with us is addicted to work, like completely 33 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.479 consumed by work, So they won't be like really an issue with the plot 34 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:09.199 line at all, because we'll see them when It can be kind of a 35 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:15.399 challenge to the characters to navigate around, and then in the end there will 36 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:25.800 be a low stakes car chase. Mister Flopsy has made his peace with it's 37 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:32.920 returning to stuffed animal status, and our protagonist is left with a lot of 38 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:39.279 questions and no one to talk to about it. The protagonist ends up in 39 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.879 therapy for many years. Yeah, and they're like, so let's get back 40 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:53.160 to mister fhlopsy. But in the like the closing frame of the movie is 41 00:04:53.319 --> 00:05:00.399 a tight shot of mister Fhlopsy and the stuffed animal winks like I'm just toying 42 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.519 with this young boy or girl, like you'll never know. I'm still sentient, 43 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:10.600 always watching, I know, just watching. Okay, So on a 44 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.720 scale of oh, that's a stinker to gotta see it, I'm giving this, 45 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:24.079 I gotta see it. Well, thank you. We go into pre 46 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:30.160 production next week. So okay, my one note is I wouldn't named the 47 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:35.639 dog Scrappy. Oh god, no, that's too Oh scratch is much better 48 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:44.519 because Scrappy is too close to Scrappy doo mhm, or Sloppy the Dummy. 49 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.800 That's a reference to me trying to tell Susie about Slappy the Dummy and was 50 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.360 like, oh, you mean Floppy, you mean Sloppy. I'm like, 51 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:58.480 no, his name is Slappy. This one is like, you cannot possibly 52 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:04.079 mean Slappy the Yeah, well famous Sloppy the Dummy. Okay, So movie 53 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:14.079 twos tagline is whoops. Another ten Babies, Oh god, okay, this 54 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:29.319 one is a British comedy based on the royal family. Okay, but not 55 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.879 the British royal family. Way too loaded, can't touch that. It's a 56 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.680 like a made of country, like what's the Maid of Country and the Princess 57 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:53.920 Diaries Genovia. Yes, so let's say for the for simplicity in Genovia and 58 00:06:55.160 --> 00:07:04.439 another ten Babies refers to thes that the Royal family breeds and now they're overrun 59 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.680 with penguins, not dissimilarly to mister Powper's Penguins the movie I've never seen. 60 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:20.040 And they decide that these penguins would like an Arctic wonderland, but they can't 61 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:26.399 get the zoning and so like the middle half of the movie gets very bogged 62 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:35.240 down in local ordinances and zoning laws, and then UH takes a hard pivot 63 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:42.120 into like a Kruella de Ville type character who wants penguins for reasons unknown and 64 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:49.399 never explained, but is possibly an off brand mister Freeze, and it is 65 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:56.040 constantly talking about how everything will be different once he gets the penguins, and 66 00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:01.240 his sidekick is like, but why, and he only responds, you'll see. 67 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.079 Obviously, we'll never get to see how his life will be different with 68 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.079 the penguins because he's not going to get the penguins. There will be sort 69 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.040 of a mad cap like attempted kidnapping in the penguins, and then it won't 70 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:20.399 work out, and then the family will decide that or the town will come 71 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:28.759 together to help the family build the habitat for the penguins, and through some 72 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.519 movie accounting, they'll be like, oh, and now the habitat is self 73 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:41.399 sustainable because people are basically doing agritourism and looking at the penguins, okay, 74 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:48.320 And then the movie and sort of like we see the villain in some embarrassing 75 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:54.080 situation, like he falls into like a cowpond or something. So this is 76 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.480 once again I gotta see it. Yeah, I'm starting to think I'm just 77 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:05.120 pitching to like the most amenable audience possible. You know, I'll watch any 78 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.759 old trash. I watched Day of the Dolphin, which is kind I told 79 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.399 you that this movie gets bogged down for thirty minutes in local ordance song. 80 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.080 Well that's that was the kind of that brings me into my notes about the 81 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.000 film. That I love is that you said it's the royal family. It 82 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:26.399 was apparently so ineffectual that they can't just cut through the red tape. They 83 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.639 run the country, but they're like, ooh, this magistrate, I'm not 84 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.759 sure what a magistrate like a judge. I mean sure, they might have 85 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.879 jurisdiction over local ordinances, I don't know. And also I'm assuming the like 86 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.240 the local zoning board. It's just like, oh, we're so sick of 87 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.679 these the Royal family, the penguins. We need to hire this mercenary, 88 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.679 ice based villain to deal with them. I mean, yeah, I guess 89 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.759 I would see this movie too and then like complain about how it's not realistic. 90 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.559 Yeah, but so yeah, so I watched The Day of the Dolphin, 91 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.120 a movie with the tagline which kind of inspired this. They trained a 92 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.279 dolphin dot dot dot to kill the president and I was like, oh shit, 93 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.960 is this gonna be like the dolphins have guns or something. It's like, 94 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.039 no, they attached. They basically just made dolphins with bombs on them, 95 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.759 like a blow up near the President's boat. And I'm like that is 96 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.799 depressing, and like, I want dolphins with guns on them. I want 97 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.120 the doll I think that would be cooler. I want the dolphins to strike 98 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.480 and be able to live to further. Yeah, the fight anyway, Okay, 99 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.080 movie three, she was one woman with a vendetta against a giant squid 100 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:50.879 and nobody in town cared. It's a really long tagline. It really boxes 101 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:56.039 me in. I'm sorry. Okay, So we have to figure out the 102 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.960 reason why no one in town cares about giants squid because I have to believe 103 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.879 if there was a cryptid type creature offshore of a tourist town, which I'm 104 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.159 presuming because you know it's a short town, that other people would be interested 105 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:22.600 in that. Okay, this town is fixated on their soapbox Derby. It's 106 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:31.600 this soapbox Derby has grown to massive proportions eight is almost NASCAR level, important 107 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:41.720 to both the town's economy and like the morale of the town. So unbeknownst 108 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:48.279 to the citizens, there has been a giant squid eating fishing trawlers, which 109 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.879 is also affecting their economy because they export fish. There's fisheries and canneries. 110 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.840 I don't know why this particular short town has such a prolific part of the 111 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.679 other, but they do. Uh. And so she keeps trying to warn 112 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.440 everyone. She goes to the town meetings every week, and she says, 113 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.440 this giant squid, it's murdering the offshoreman, and uh, it's going to 114 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:20.799 run out of trawlers and fish to eat, and then it'll I mean, 115 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.080 And this is where her argument kind of falls apart. She believes that it's 116 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:31.480 going to come on land and then everyone will be at risk. So it's 117 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.919 like Jaws, but if the shark could walk, And everyone just keeps saying, 118 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.159 ah, but we have to decide about the branding for the soapbox Derby, 119 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.840 and you know, you we're not worried about this. What colors are 120 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.240 we going to use? This year, what are the trophies going to look 121 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:52.480 like? And they are just it's almost a compulsion where if something does not 122 00:12:52.559 --> 00:13:01.919 relate to the soapbox Derby or having the sonapbox Derby move forward. And also, 123 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.840 here's the thing. In this day and age, not many people care 124 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.720 about soapbox Derby. So the town is going backgrum. So she keeps saying, 125 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.600 like, you have to move on from your fixation about the soapbox Derby. 126 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:20.480 We're both in budgetary and physical danger. And so now she recruits a 127 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.960 single mom, moves to town. She has a disaffected teenage son. The 128 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:33.759 teenage son is obsessed with cryptids and how why would they be at the town 129 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:41.279 meeting? So the single mom is upset about how erratic garbage pickup is, 130 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.159 so she has come to the town meeting, not knowing that all they want 131 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.320 to talk about is the soapbox Derby. And then this one lady who will 132 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.879 call val Val just wants to talk about the giant squid. She drags her 133 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.360 teenage son because she's like, well, I don't know, maybe some kids 134 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.960 from your high school either, which doesn't make any sense. Why would they 135 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:05.799 be at the town meeting? And so Val and single mom named Connie. 136 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:15.080 Connie's like real down home she you know, she believes in local government and 137 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.440 really can't understand why stinking piles of garbage are left in front of her house 138 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.399 constantly when she starts to see the spell that the town has fallen under as 139 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.120 far as soapbox derbys go h She approaches Val after the meeting and she is 140 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.080 like, I really just don't understand. Services are falling to the wayside, 141 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.840 Like what is it about this one day in the soapbox Derby and VAL's like, 142 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.600 we have bigger problems, explains the issue with the squid. The teenage 143 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.200 son perks up and he's like, I have a plan. It turns out 144 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:58.960 that he has promised an anonymous entity Oversees that he can get them a giant 145 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:05.600 squid, which seems like a contrivance, like too convenient, right, But 146 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.960 he is our mister Free's character from the other movie. It's a crossover, 147 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:20.240 it seems from the Penguin movie he gave, so this is before he's moved 148 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:28.679 on to Penguin. So he makes a plan to capture the squid. I 149 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:35.840 don't know how you would transport to giant squid and gets enough money that they 150 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:43.720 can privatize the garbage pickup, which doesn't seem like a victory, but really, 151 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:52.639 remember vowels whole mission is to get rid of the giant squid, and 152 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.039 Connie just wants her garbage picked up. So in the end they're happy, 153 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.720 and the soapbox derby continues. No one in town is aware that all of 154 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:07.519 this has happened. And at the very last frame where it says the end, 155 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:17.000 we faded to black, we fade in from black and we see a 156 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.159 shark eating a pirate shift yeah, and then it is up to the viewer 157 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.440 to figure out if that's actually related to a sequel or well, I think 158 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.799 we have am if I can pitch something, we have we have a mid 159 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:37.679 credit sequence. Young mister Freeze or whatever his character's name is, he goes, 160 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.279 he goes. I mean he's all friand mister Freeze. So he's like, 161 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.000 maybe Ice Sky or something. Okay, yeah, we'll just call on 162 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.039 my scot. Ice guy goes to the zoo, goes to like a SeaWorld 163 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.600 esque zoo and he is just touring the attractions and he sees a penguin enclosure 164 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.480 and they're like, oh, do you want to feed the penguins and he's 165 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.799 like okay. Yeah, So he's feeding the penguins from a bucket. He 166 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.599 runs out of fish and there's just one last penguin and it bites his hands. 167 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.880 He realizes he has no fish, and then like the penguin walks away 168 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:14.119 and you just cut the ice gy glaring at that penguin. Wait, he 169 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:19.599 likes he likes penguins. He thinks, okay, we then maybe the penguin 170 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.319 bites his finger off, and then he looks at it whimsically. Well, 171 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.400 I was gonna say maybe, Like he feeds the last fish to the last 172 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:32.119 to the last penguin and then it nuzzles him and we just cut away. 173 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.200 Like but they're like, oh, you have to leave the penguins and now 174 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.599 and like you know, head home. He's like okay, and he just 175 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.880 looks back and then he says to himself one day and walks away. Yeah, 176 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:47.799 like one day you'll be mine. Okay, once again, gotta see 177 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:55.799 it. But there are still I believe in London soapbox Derby's, and they 178 00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.440 are like people make very complicated soak bocks. I guess the cars Soapbox Derby's 179 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:07.960 okay, whatever, like they make their vehicles and it is just can it 180 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.000 make it down the hill without falling apart? And the people who do it 181 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.039 like they put a lot of effort in and the carsok. Really cool. 182 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.920 I can send you some videos. Okay. So my whole idea for this 183 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:25.720 film is like not so far out of the realm of possibility, that's what 184 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:32.079 you're saying. No, Okay, movie four. This this bear has a 185 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:38.319 doctorate and a van and she's here to save lives. Okay, I mean, 186 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:45.079 I guess this is going to be either animated or stop motion. It'll 187 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:53.200 be a bear, not unlike Mama Bear from Berenstein Bears. And but here's 188 00:18:53.359 --> 00:19:02.119 where it gets a little bit gritty. So there is like a mister Burns 189 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:10.319 type power plant that is poisoning the groundwater, and what we first think is 190 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:18.279 sort of a local GP making good in her town and the surrounding area then 191 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:23.519 becomes similar to Dark Water with Mark Ruffalo about how they discovered the teflon with 192 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:33.160 poisoning this entire town and what is the dow chemical got in trouble. So 193 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:40.079 then Mama Ver becomes a crusader for environmental protections and at the point that words 194 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.640 fail her. She mauls people, but like in secrets, so no one 195 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.759 knows this her and she's like it could have been anywhere. I'm loving this. 196 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:56.440 She gets a following online and I just saw dumb Money yesterday, so 197 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:04.200 I'm thinking about what if she could like sort of grassroots rally other bears. 198 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.720 Because here's the thing. I guess, if she's mauling people, she's living 199 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.759 in a world that is both humans and bears. And then I feel like 200 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:19.359 we fall into the thing of like X Men or True Blood, where one 201 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:26.200 group is always going to be sort of headed butting heads with the other group. 202 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.400 Yeah, So I guess I don't know how I'm going to resolve this 203 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:38.559 because we would have to turn Mama Bear from you know again like local GP 204 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:49.359 doctor Quinn, medicine woman into like an environmental vigilante, which I'm not against, 205 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.799 but I'm not sure how that gets resolved because so much of Dark Water 206 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:02.920 was just like them sitting in courtroom, them sitting in different concert conference rooms. 207 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.039 And then I don't see that being very engaging for what you thought was 208 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.160 going to be a movie about people being mauled. Okay, can I pitch 209 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.319 an end it okay. So yeah, so it's a three x structure. 210 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.480 The first act, we see the problem. You know, Mama Bear is 211 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.200 driving on her van and she's you know, helping people doing her thing, 212 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:29.640 and then like she realizes everybody's having the same disease, and she like she 213 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.000 tests the water and she goes to talk to these chemical plants you know. 214 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.640 Uh, she gives impassion speech that eventually falls to growing because she's just so 215 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:48.279 angry, and the board ignores her completely, and she like on her way 216 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.279 out, she meets the son who's like set to inherit the company from the 217 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.000 CEO, and he's like, I know, like what you're going through, 218 00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:00.119 I wish I could change something, like the environment's very important to me, 219 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:07.240 and like she you know, they bring up a court case and that's the 220 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.839 second act. Second act is just a courtroom drama, but they lose in 221 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:17.680 the end, and then we get to the third act where Mama Bear is 222 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.720 just standing on the steps of the courthouse and she's just watching all the like 223 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:23.200 dicks like high five each other, like yeah, we want we're going to 224 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:30.400 continue to poison everybody, and then she just walks into the woods and we 225 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.480 like she looks up at the stars and she sees four bears roaring into in 226 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:40.640 the night sky and then she like just realizes how she has the handles. 227 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:47.319 So third act is just Mama Bear killing all the executives. I mean, 228 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.720 so what happened in Dark Water and spoilers for Dark Order, I mean, 229 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:56.079 it's a real life thing that happened, but did the same thing. Yeah, 230 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.319 they're looking like, sir, you're not the Hulk in real life and 231 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:08.759 this is a movie, and he's like ammamal ya. So they they won 232 00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:15.599 the larger like it went up to hire and higher courts and they won those. 233 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:22.440 But he dedicated, the real life lawyer dedicated his life to trying every 234 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:30.480 single court case of every single person against Dow Chemical who was affected by this. 235 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:36.880 And you know, because they developed cancers, their animals became sick, 236 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:44.559 they couldn't use the water or drink the water for anything. And so then 237 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:52.720 because he was working for free, they could afford to just go to court, 238 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.920 I mean not afforded. Obviously it took a toll, but then dal 239 00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:03.440 Chemical just started paying out the cash settlements because it would cost them so much 240 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:10.319 to keep going to court. Because this man was willing to just continue going 241 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.960 on principle. He's like, this is wrong and this is bad. And 242 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:19.440 for years his law firm was kind of like, Okay, we believe in 243 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:25.319 you, but you're also not bringing any dullable hours into the firm. And 244 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:30.319 then when he lost that first case, because you know, Dow is like 245 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:37.319 a huge company and they obviously played dirty, he had to make the decision 246 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:38.480 whether he was going to keep going or not, and he did. It's 247 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:45.000 kind of amazing because he changed the way that the country deals with these things, 248 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:52.079 with the microplastics. So that's why I haven't thought about it dark water 249 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.960 in a while, but it's it's very inspirational. His name was Robert Billott. 250 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:02.000 Yes his name is. I think he's still alive. Yes, he's 251 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:07.440 still alive, thankfully. Yeah, and you know it's he is on the 252 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.720 right hard side of history. Yeah. Just to finish my dumb bear plot, 253 00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.839 yes, I thought it ended with everyone being bald, but please continue 254 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:25.839 so well, no, there's just two last scenes. The sun wakes up 255 00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.799 one morning and sees written on his wall in blood, don't forget your promise, 256 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.799 and then like his father's bloody driver's license, and then like we cut 257 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.640 to the empty boardroom and he steps in and says it's time to get to 258 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:48.480 work. Okay, I mean it seems very threatening, very ominous. I 259 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:53.160 guess this is gonna have to be like an A twenty four type movie. 260 00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:59.960 So last movie to prove their legitimacy, she would have to win the Olympic 261 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:07.079 as her persna. They're legitimacy like the first Oh sorry, And I also 262 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.759 just quickly want to say the last tagline was inspired by the movie Bear, 263 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.160 where it's like a horror movie with this like this mama Bear is just killing 264 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:25.440 a group of young campers and finally she corners the last female camper in her 265 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.960 cave and like she's about to like you know, maul her, but then 266 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.519 the bear realizes she's pregnant, like the girl the camper is pregnant, and 267 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:41.119 just let her go, which actually led my friends and I to discuss like 268 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.599 what if the bear like pulled out like an ultrasound machine and then my god 269 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.799 like grouted her to lift her shirt and like you know, applied the jel 270 00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.799 when I was like h R point at the screen like I was like, 271 00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.279 oh my god, I'm pright to her, And it led to our whole 272 00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:04.759 like like breakdown of like doctor Bear, who like just went around like teaching 273 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:11.519 local local classes about sex education where it wasn't allowed and they're like, you 274 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:17.839 can't teach that in the school. Okay, go ahead, and just like 275 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.359 being a hero for the people. That's awesome. But yeah, which is 276 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.640 what I like. When I said doctor I was going to add it could 277 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.680 be a doctrine in anything, like she's a doctor of the English lange of 278 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:37.240 like English literature. But anyway, so yeah, so uh, to prove 279 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:42.640 the Furries legitimacy, she would have to win the Olympics as her persna oh, 280 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:48.319 her first sona. Okay, I thought you said as her for sona 281 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:55.200 like and I was like, okay, so is this like I was thinking, 282 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.680 like this is an alien based character most like one of the Marbles, 283 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:07.559 but no, okay, that's her fer sona. I mean immediately I'm running 284 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.279 into the issue of they're gonna let her run around in a furst suit. 285 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.240 I was thinking it's an air bud type thing where she's like, show me 286 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.240 the rule, which says I can't. Okay. The other part is, 287 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:29.039 I mean, what Olympic, what Olympic event could you do? In a 288 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:33.599 fur suit. You can't swim, it'd become water log. You can't ski, 289 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:41.279 You're gonna have drag excuse me, shot put? Maybe javelin with the 290 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.759 not javelin. What's the thing where you use the stick to get over the 291 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.440 Yes? Okay, so she's a pole vaulter. What's her for sona? 292 00:28:53.319 --> 00:29:03.559 She's probably a fox? Foxes jump high springy okay, so hm hmm, 293 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:12.359 this is a tough one. Give me a real head scratcher. Uh, 294 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:18.000 I don't know. But the way things are going, uh, for suits 295 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.960 have been outlawed, just not. I don't feel like that far of a 296 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:27.160 stretch because it feels like everything's uh, everyone's attempting to ban an outlaw things. 297 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:38.079 So first suits are outlawed, and everyone is not necessarily upset that first 298 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:44.680 suits are outlawed, but they think it's a We start having a slippery slope 299 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:52.720 conversation. Our protagonist is upset that first sus a outlawed because she is deeply 300 00:29:52.759 --> 00:30:00.279 tied to her for sona. And so how old are people usually when around 301 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:06.559 like the Olympics, like early twenties? Yes, okay, so she is 302 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:12.559 in college. She is training for the you just told me what it's called 303 00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:22.160 pull vault, and this like comes down for whatever reason from the secative branch 304 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:33.039 of the United States, and so she begins a mission to represent. So 305 00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:40.480 she is training in college and uh, now there's been like a backlash against 306 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:47.759 people in furs suits, and she decides that this is important. I don't 307 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.720 know what the ensuing challenge is of wearing a furst suit with be like, 308 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:57.960 because I don't know. I like, you know, I was at the 309 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.759 is that like a science museum in Pittsburgh, and I just saw someone wearing 310 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:12.559 like a furry tail and ears. But yeah, I don't know how to 311 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:22.680 finish this. I guess she wins gold. Like the premise is like it 312 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:30.720 feels strange to take the premise seriously because I I feel like, uh, 313 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:38.640 first suits are in my mind affiliated with like a like intimate or sexual practice. 314 00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.640 So like the idea of doing something like the Olympics at a first suit 315 00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:52.240 is strange because it seems like you're adding an extra layer of challenge onto this 316 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:57.960 thing that needs you to be like at the height a fit and you know 317 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:05.079 your physical prow So I'm trying to figure out like what would be the imp 318 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.839 it is for it being so important to her to be wearing the first suit. 319 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:15.319 I don't know. Okay, so this is going to tap into two 320 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:21.359 things I think about constantly. Okay, So as on this American life, 321 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.799 I've definitely told you about this before and told probably told you the mascot. 322 00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:30.480 Yeah, So, like she is not like she's constantly like she's very good 323 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:35.640 at pole vault, but then she becomes amazing at pole vault when she puts 324 00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:42.759 on her first suit and it's like the opposite of Goku's weighted clothing because in 325 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.640 Dragon Balls, the Goku to train wears like about one hundred and thirty pounds 326 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:51.559 or one hundred and thirty kilograms at all times to like, you know, 327 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:58.279 make himself stronger. So it's like she's like not quite able to break through 328 00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.599 the ceiling, but then she puts on her first suit and breaks like is 329 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:10.559 able to break through, and the Olympic Commission is like hmmm, and you 330 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:15.000 know, the like the head of the Olympics is like, she must compete, 331 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:17.440 and they're like, but she refuses to compete in the first sies like 332 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:22.200 we will show people how weak these furries are by allowing her to be in 333 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.960 her furs suit. Once she comes in last, we'll be able to crush 334 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:31.799 furries forever. And then like she rocks up to the Olympics and after that 335 00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:37.200 there's like no more conflict. In the movie. She is like bounding off 336 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.039 the pole vault doing sick like twisty flips on her way down, and they're 337 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:45.680 just like Jesus Christ, and she easily takes the gold and no, they're 338 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.839 like, we need a new metal for her, the platinum. And then 339 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:55.920 like at the end, she goes to the president like of the of the 340 00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.359 like the head of the Olympics, and first suits are now like they're wildly, 341 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:07.799 wildly popular because she's become a national hero. And he's like looking at 342 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:12.719 his giant window because all things like he does have giant windows, and he's 343 00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:15.840 she's talking like to the back of his chair. She's like, wow, 344 00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.599 he's being really disrespectful. He must be really angry, but I'm still going 345 00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:22.880 to thank him, and oh my god, you know where this is going. 346 00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:28.039 Y of course I know where this is going. And then he turns 347 00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:34.280 around and he's wearing a wolf for suits, and he says thank you, 348 00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:38.639 and they shake hands and then they have both what did did you say her 349 00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:44.719 for her first SONA was She's a fox. Okay, they both held the 350 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:52.320 moon and the moon much like at the end of Parsylvania turns into a wolf 351 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:57.679 that winks at the camera. Oh my god, Okay, you made that 352 00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.440 way better. That's way more interesting. I definitely lost steam halfway through. 353 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:06.480 I was like, I don't know why this is happening, But what if 354 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:10.960 I what if I became a director and I managed a series of hit movies 355 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.440 and then like after like the fifth hit movie that grossed like a billion dollars, 356 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.639 I just switched it. So the end of every one of my movies 357 00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:24.639 from that point on was just like reveal Everybody's a furry. I feel like 358 00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:30.119 it made the end up like that skit that what was it Conan and Paul 359 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.679 ruddhead with the Mac and Me clip. Yeah, or people if people would 360 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:40.320 start to expect it and even it almost be like a comfort, or people 361 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:45.159 would just be like waiting for when like a Nat Night Shyamalan where they're like, 362 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:46.559 where's the dumb twist? Where are they going to become fur race? 363 00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:52.440 It's always happened out there. It is, Okay, I'm leaving. It's 364 00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:57.760 amazing, that's so good. It just like it's so good. Then at 365 00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:01.119 the last five minutes like the daught to reunite, and then it was put 366 00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.800 on first sues goddamn it, he did it again, or they're like, 367 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:13.719 god damn it, he did it again. Yeah. I refuse to let 368 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:17.320 reviewers like, look at the movie before I release it, oh my god, 369 00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:21.320 and they're like, we know, we know what you're doing, we 370 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:25.039 know what's gonna happen. His cinematography is amazing, but god damn, the 371 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:30.159 first is oh my god. Anyway, thank you for playing my games, 372 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:37.920 Susie.
