I want to take this moment to really 10 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.960 repent for all my sins, because I must have done 11 00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.159 something really terrible. I was one of the many things 12 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.520 I bring up all the time, like that time I 13 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.319 eat your sandwich twenty years ago, yes, or the. 14 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.400 Time you dumped sod on me when I started a half. 15 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:10.680 Hour twenty five years ago. 16 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:16.760 Yeah, it's really funny in retrospect. So I just wanted 17 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.480 to do Molly Sawyer's Month. It was it was between 18 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.879 this so Undercover We're going in next week or the 19 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.200 Hannah Montana movie. I didn't have the lore for Hannah Montana, 20 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.040 so I went with this. 21 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.040 What about the one where her dad's Greg Kinnear and 22 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.159 they she's like obsessed with saving sea turtles. 23 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.439 I don't know that one, but I kind of want 24 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.120 to do that instead of so un to cover Morley Cyrus. 25 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.439 It's she's in it with Liam Hemsworth. I think they 26 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.239 ended up getting together after that movie. 27 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.680 I'll look into this. I'm just gonna look at Molly 28 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.000 Sawyer's Turtle movie. 29 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.200 Well it's more like. 30 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:01.560 The last song. 31 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.319 Yeah, oh for sure, for sure. 32 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.359 Okay, we're doing that. Well do we want to do this? 33 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.960 Because the scenes is slocky asn't the thing we did today? 34 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.159 I do want to do it just because, Uh, one 35 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:20.199 of my favorite FuG the fromage from Go FuG Yourself, 36 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.560 a website. 37 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.520 That I was really into like fifteen years ago. Watch that, 38 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.960 and uh, I've always been interested to watch the actual 39 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.360 movie because they consistently comment on how badly Miley's hair 40 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.520 was styled. It is styled, very greasy looking throughout the 41 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.560 whole film. I thought her hair looked great in Little 42 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:51.919 Demi Moore looks amazing. There are so many stars in 43 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.280 this movie, and the movie does not feel like a movie. 44 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:57.960 It feels like a bunch of scenes. 45 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.319 Okay, so this movie for me felt like it should 46 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.439 be three hours long because like, you keep getting scenes 47 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.039 that come in and you're just like, wait, what did 48 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.919 I miss something like, because like you'll see characters in 49 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.120 one scene be like never talk to me again. The 50 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.360 next scene like he's grossly kissing her shoulder and you're like, wait, 51 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.759 what happened? Like what's going on? Is that Jerry or Kyle? 52 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.599 So no, not Chad because he's not being horrendously misogynistic. 53 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:40.599 This this movie feels like the movie has a short memory. Yeah, 54 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.240 So the movie opens bizarrely. Everything just imagine everything I'm saying, 55 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.280 but all of the lines are delivered in the least 56 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.319 intuitive way possible. So the movie really crutches on voiceover 57 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.319 and they have Miley Cyrus say I just want to 58 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.719 have a perfect year. Here are me and my girls, 59 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:15.120 and it's like sort of the click rundown we're used to, 60 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.000 but there aren't any clicks. We're just talking about individuals. 61 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:27.519 And Ashley Green Alice from Twilight Looks Amazing, has the 62 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.199 most seen hair you could ever imagine in the early 63 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:37.199 two thousands, is called post it because she sticks to 64 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:42.480 every guy and acts like she loves them, which is 65 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:50.079 like not a thing, that's not a stereotype. It's so like, 66 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.920 this is the opening scene, and I found it confusing. 67 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.959 So we get to know her friend group. Everyone is 68 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.079 sort of spitting liners at. 69 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.560 Each other, and they're all really not funny. 70 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.240 They're so the cadence is bizarre. It's really lacking humor. 71 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.600 There's like no sort of like warmth you would expect 72 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.720 between a friend group that is supposed to be so 73 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:21.600 closely tied as this one. So then and so there's 74 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.639 blonde friend who's obsessed with sleeping with one of the teachers, 75 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.839 which was like such a major ick factor. And then 76 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:33.839 there's brunette friend who just has a mom that sort 77 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.160 of minimizes her to be her looks. Yeah, I don't 78 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.319 know anybody's name. If you're not a celebrity i've seen before, 79 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.680 I don't know your name in this movie. And the 80 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.120 only reason I know Miley Cyrus's character's name and Chad's 81 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.879 is because she says both of those names constantly. She's like, 82 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.279 my name is Lola, and people call me lol. 83 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.120 Okay, sorry, I need to that. You're doing a great 84 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.399 job so far, A says it, but. 85 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.279 I'm struggling, so I'm about to slip under. 86 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.000 I just wanted to say before I uh, the note 87 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.720 that just says, I'm in hell. I wrote down this 88 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.439 line dialog Forbatim. We're all just trying to live, love 89 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.759 and laugh out loud. Everyone calls me lull because my 90 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.600 name is Lola. 91 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.360 Like, imagine you're speaking to someone and they said that 92 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.680 you would immediately be concerned. You could be like, are 93 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.480 you okay? Are you experiencing a form of psychosis? Like what, 94 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.199 I'm not trying to be funny, Like, these are not 95 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.399 sentences a human says. Like Frank texted me while he 96 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.240 was watching the film and said, this movie feels like 97 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.600 it was made by AI, but this was years decades 98 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:43.319 before AI. 99 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.879 Yeah, well it's maybe twenty twelve where I think we 100 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:51.560 had like the bare bones AI like where it wasn't. 101 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.720 This way it was like sims level AI. 102 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.480 Yeah, like like okay, I made it about watch a 103 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.800 thousand hours of Hallmark Christmas movies and this is the 104 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.720 like script that came up with. We see a single 105 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.360 mother refilling snow gloves of Christmas juice. She is widow, 106 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:10.759 her husband died in every war. 107 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:12.920 Right, these are not really made by AI. These are 108 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:13.720 written by people. 109 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.079 Oh well that was the whole joke. 110 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.920 They're still very funny, Yes, that's why they're funny because 111 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.439 they were written by human beings. 112 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.959 Well, and it's also much better than anything written. 113 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.680 In this movie, also written by human beings. Confusingly enough, 114 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:35.639 Hernandos Okay says he was in suicide Squad. Suicide Squad. 115 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.240 God, I cannot I forgot how bad his character was 116 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:46.879 suicide Squad. So anyway, like we start, it's the beginning 117 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.920 of the school. Oh so when I mentioned the text 118 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.360 mess about hugs, that's the text message Molly Cyrus sends 119 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.160 to her mom, to me more and to me more. 120 00:07:59.079 --> 00:07:59.839 Has a job. 121 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:07.600 Okay, this is Demi Moore has a job with clients undefined, 122 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.360 but is always home. 123 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.959 Like when we first see her, she's looking at a 124 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.319 blueprint kind of like software, like she's an interior designer. 125 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.680 And I'm just so confounded by this. 126 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.079 Just Thomas Jane is her ex husband and Miley Cyrus's 127 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.279 and younger daughter undefined and brother. 128 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.720 There's a brother and sister okay, which when the brother 129 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.679 came out, I'm like, where did this kid come from? 130 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.399 And do they have any meaningful lines? Are they funny? 131 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.840 Are they useful to the plot? No? 132 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.320 So what's This movie was adapted from the French film, 133 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:54.399 and you can tell because the way the type of 134 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.799 filmmaking is very European, where the scenes just sort of 135 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:04.960 moved from one another. But this film has the glossiness 136 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.480 of Hollywood, so it like doesn't work. Like I felt 137 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.120 like my brain was pushing back on it constantly, because 138 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:19.240 there are both. This movie is obsessed with sex in 139 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.720 a very French and American way and also obsessed with 140 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:29.879 like sort of sexual permissiveness but shame at the same time. 141 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:34.440 And I think that's why it feels so uncomfortable because 142 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.840 one of the first scenes where we see Miley and 143 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.759 Demi Moore interact, Tom Moore is in the bath with 144 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.159 her younger daughter and they're like playing around fine. Miley 145 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.279 strips off all her clothes, walks across the bathroom to 146 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.120 the shower. They're in this level of a rich house, 147 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.799 and her mom says, is that a Brazilian referring to her, 148 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:06.879 and Miley says, mom, like, don't look, or like, why 149 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:12.120 are you criticize this? Wouldn't I don't think this would happen. 150 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.279 I think in the majority of homes this would be 151 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:20.240 like verboden in America because sex is such a taboo here. 152 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:27.320 And like, so then to have this conversation, and the 153 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:31.519 conversation and like Miley says something like I just wanted 154 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.840 to have a shower with my family, which is insane. 155 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.159 It's an insane thing to say. 156 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:42.440 So when you but like it gives this false idea 157 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.399 that when you first watched this film that like this, 158 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.519 this family is probably a bit more you know, liberal 159 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:53.919 and like open minded than another like other families might be. 160 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.360 And then like towards the end of the movie and 161 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.639 throughout we get this like sexual conservatism, where like Demi 162 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.919 Moore is obsessed with like, okay, spoiler there. For the 163 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.159 end of the movie, Demi Moore reads all of Mami 164 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.120 Cyrus's Terrible Diary, which has a condom wrapper in it 165 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.840 as well as a Tutsi pop up roll wrapper in it, 166 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.120 and she's writing writing in it constantly in like the 167 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.960 most unrealistic way of writing I've ever seen, where like 168 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.600 literally like the pen cannot move that fast if it's 169 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:28.039 creating the friction to create to write. So she reads 170 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.759 the whole thing and then it's just shocked that her 171 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.759 daughter has like had sex, and I'm like, I thought you, 172 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.879 like I thought you'd be cooler than this. Okay, And 173 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.879 here's the thing. No, we've been doing this for a while. 174 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.399 This is the first movie to just make me feel 175 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.879 old because I constantly had had to stop myself. Like 176 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.960 during the aforementioned shower scene, Miley Cyrus has an arguing 177 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.279 with her mom then walks out, leaving her clothing behind 178 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.480 like she didn't like leaves like she leaves her clothing behind, 179 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:04.919 walks up at least the shower running. I'm like, you're 180 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:05.720 wasting water. 181 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.360 Well, like, none of it makes any sense. What was 182 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.960 that scene for? What? It wasn't funny, It didn't serve 183 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.759 the plot. What was that scene for except to be 184 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:23.279 like kind of provocative in that it didn't make any sense, 185 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.480 Like I don't even mean provocative in the fact that 186 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.360 there was implied nudity. I mean provocative in the fact that, 187 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.559 like I was like, well, all of that was weird. 188 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.919 The exchange of words was weird, the setting was strange, 189 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:41.320 and so then I already felt like I was sort 190 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.639 of like caught off foot, like okay, like what is it? 191 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.600 So like the problem with this movie is I think 192 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.879 it is existing in a really bizarre space where you're like, Okay, 193 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.919 this movie is gonna shock me, like something is gonna happen. 194 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.720 It's going to be like it's when you turn out 195 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:06.480 that Demi Moore is a murderer, or like that Miley 196 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:12.600 Cyrus's character is like embroiled in citywide corruption, Like something 197 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:17.360 is gonna happen. To make the bizarre catence of this 198 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.279 movie makes sense where I'm like, oh, okay, it's just 199 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.679 like dyl and I saw Bogonia last week and the 200 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.639 whole time I was like, what is gonna have it? 201 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.480 Which I think is the mark of a really good 202 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:32.159 movie or a really bad movie, where you're like, I 203 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:37.080 have no idea, what's gonna happen next this movie nothing 204 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:42.440 happens and I listener. I will be honest with you, 205 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.840 this movie was ninety minutes, and usually this is Frank 206 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:51.000 nam me. That doesn't finish. I mean, Frank, that's not 207 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.639 a knock on you. It's like a lot of the 208 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.720 stuff we watch is pretty terrible. But I say that 209 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.759 to say I could not get myself to finish this. 210 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.799 I had so many opportunities to watch the last twenty 211 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.600 minutes and I couldn't do it. Frank powered through, and 212 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.600 I think we'll have a little class for him because 213 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:18.279 the whole time I was like, I'm uncomfortable. This is boring. 214 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:23.919 It's that that is the criminal. The criminal crime by 215 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.600 this movie is that it's offensive and strange and boring. 216 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:30.559 Yeah, you can be one of. 217 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.799 Those things, you can't be all three of those things. 218 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.200 Like the room like which I would say is like 219 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:42.159 the bar for like super bad movies, is strange and 220 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.919 boring at parts, but it's like the whole time you're 221 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:49.080 sort of like I'm seeing inside the mind of a madman. 222 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.240 With loll I was just like, this feels craven. This 223 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.480 feels like a movie where someone is writing for the 224 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.120 teenage experience who one does not remember what it's like 225 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.440 to be a teenage Yeah, and there's like a fetishistic 226 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:05.879 aspect of it. 227 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.080 Yeah, like all of the teens. 228 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:12.240 Are cynical and shitty and only think of things in 229 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.799 the terms of sex, like who are you having sex with? 230 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:16.639 How? 231 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:21.679 Like it feels empty. It's like a vessel that's just empty. 232 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:22.399 Yeah, you know what. 233 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:27.279 Like, and there's a lot of talk about love no 234 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.519 evidence of it. 235 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.919 Yeah, there's a loveless movie, but it's not a lollless movie. 236 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.600 Oh I did not laugh about loud ones. 237 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.279 Yeah, but there's someone literally named the hole in it. 238 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.720 Come on, come on. 239 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.879 But there should have been a scene where towards like 240 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:51.679 like their first day of school, She's like, I gotta 241 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.399 tell Kyle how I feel if I just oh. 242 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.039 My god, I forgot about the best friend thing.

Because like there is 244 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.720 no chemistry, just like no chemistry. 245 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.000 Well, okay, the joke I was about to finish was 246 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.039 like Lil's like, this me my best year ever. And 247 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.320 then like here comes Hillary Duff like and she's like, Hi, 248 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.600 my name's Ruffel. 249 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:22.480 I'm gonna watch that movie. 250 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.399 Actually no, like this movie couldn't get Hillary Duff. So 251 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.240 they just have a like a stand in like a 252 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.000 cardboards hilly hilly, like a cardboard cutout. 253 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.360 That I'm saying, they get Hailey Duff. 254 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.440 Who's holding a cardboard cutout of just wearing a cardboard 255 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:43.840 mask of her sister. Yeah. Okay, so, oh my god, 256 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.279 So we get back from to school. 257 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.200 I need you to describe the best friend relationship. 258 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.799 With Kyle. Yes, okay, So they've been friends since kindergarten. 259 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.080 They like to wave at each other from across subway 260 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.799 platforms for like pals long that. 261 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.640 I think that montage was what did be in because 262 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.720 I was like, what's happening? 263 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.119 Nothing is happening? Is it? That's something else I want 264 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.519 to bring up on this episode. I don't know what 265 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:19.319 the sentral conflict of this movie is. Like in the Lighthouse, 266 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:23.440 it's like man's desperate battle against loneliness and like isolation 267 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.240 and like the ways you stay sane in that kind 268 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:26.839 of situation. 269 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.319 I mean, I felt like that's what was happening to 270 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.960 me while watching this film. I was the only one 271 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.359 in the room. 272 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.640 What is the central conflict of Pregonia's. 273 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.559 Is he whether Emma Stone is an alien or not? 274 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.839 And the morality of kidnapping? 275 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:49.960 Like nothing happens like that? I kept thinking about that 276 00:17:50.079 --> 00:18:00.240 scene in Adaptation where like, uh, what adaptation Adaptation where 277 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.759 you know, Nicholas Cage's character gets yelled at by that 278 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.720 guy who's just like if you can't find drama in life, 279 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.799 then why are you wasting my two precious hours or 280 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.559 your dumb ass movie? Yeah, Like because this this is 281 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.920 that movie Nicholas Cage is describing. Nothing happens. Okay, So yeah, 282 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:20.799 so Kyle, Kyle and loll are in. 283 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.079 Stop It just call her Miley Cyrus. 284 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.119 Kyle and Molly Cyrus are in our best friends. They've 285 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:29.480 been best friends since kindergarten. 286 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.480 What do they have in common? 287 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.279 They've been best friends since they were in kindergarten. 288 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:35.680 I'm gonna fa. 289 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:36.599 That's all I can tell. 290 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.599 There is this like fixation on indie music, and I 291 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.880 will say Kyle's band sings a pretty good song. 292 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.359 You didn't hear all ass song. The last song is 293 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.279 pure Radio Disney. Oh my god, so it sucks so bad. 294 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.359 And there's a lot to pull up the line because 295 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.960 I pulled that one. Oh he's writing a love song 296 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.440 where he says we used to be like brother and sister. 297 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:04.839 Fuck I hate that and then I broke the promise. 298 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:10.359 What yeah, Because that's the other part. There's like a 299 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.319 lot of drama. But the only person who's like truly 300 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:17.440 a bad person is Chad, and Chad has almost no 301 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:21.000 impact on the plot. Chad is like this name that 302 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.920 is invoked when they need Miley to storm out of 303 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.400 a room. But Chad actually, like is a completely inconsequential person. 304 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:34.359 Chad is a roaming rumba of misogyny. He just walks 305 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:38.440 up to will women calls them hoes. Like, okay, so 306 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.480 there's I guess supposed to be their central hangout spot 307 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.599 is against this gray wall. And like Chad and Kyle 308 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.759 and are a band together, and like there's. 309 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.000 What do Chad and Kyle have in common? 310 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:52.440 They're in a band together. 311 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:59.079 We never see anyone like this movie. I don't even 312 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.440 want to say that it doesn't pass the Bechtel test 313 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.880 because nobody talks about anything, so like it's not even 314 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.720 like do the women talk. 315 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.160 About anything besides men, not that I can tell. 316 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:14.559 I guess the women only talk about men, and the 317 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.440 men only talk about this band in Battle of the 318 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.920 Bands and dads. So not even the men pass the 319 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:27.119 Bechdel test because they're just talking about dads. 320 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:34.720 So okay, So Chad, Chad and Malisarius write a heart 321 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.359 that says Chad and Lowell. 322 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.400 For oh my god, this is amazing. This happens like 323 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.160 in the first ninety seconds of the movie. And almost 324 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.000 immediately after this, what is Chad saying? 325 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.599 Chad says, Hey, what I was doing? I'm a counselor 326 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:48.200 at the. 327 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.759 At first she's like, hey, I called and texted you 328 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.119 and you didn't reply, And he's like reception, I couldn't 329 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:57.240 and she's like okay, and. 330 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.440 Then he's just like, hey, I hooked up with this 331 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.240 girl only a one time thing. And then she lies 332 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.839 and says she hooked up with somebody, but then it. 333 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:08.640 Is clearly angry. 334 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.640 And then she also goes and like crosses out the chad. 335 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.519 This is like, this is just the graffiti bathroom. There 336 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.119 doesn't seem to be anybody. 337 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.359 At what seems to be a high end private school. Yeah, 338 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:25.440 so at no point during this summer did the school thing, hey, 339 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.480 this bathroom looks worse than pensation. We should probably take 340 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.720 care of it. And like with students like my right, 341 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.759 I'm like, yeah, I probably wouldn't fix it up either. 342 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.559 I'd feel like these kids are the worst. They're so 343 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.039 wishy washing, they draw hard that they cross it up 344 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:43.000 thirty seconds later. 345 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:47.440 They hate their French teacher. They're all miserable assholes. The 346 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.440 only person who gets any respect and like people listen 347 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:54.279 to is the hot trigonometer teacher, which you know, good 348 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:57.839 like I don't approve of student teacher relationships, but like 349 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.720 I'll give creed.

It doesn't matter. 370 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.920 It doesn't make any sense because I don't think that's 371 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:16.920 how most humans would react, like maybe after the initial shock, 372 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:21.240 but presumably she would be shocked, right. She thinks they're 373 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:24.680 still together. They drew the heart. They had the conversation 374 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:30.279 about the cell phone reception. So the way she reacts 375 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.240 is the way that you would presume someone would react 376 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:40.160 after they had time to process, like oh, well, fuck you. You 377 00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:43.119 know you hurt me and guess what I cheated on YouTube? 378 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.880 Not immediate, not oh my god, you cheated on me. Well, 379 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.680 I cheated on you too. Also you're horrible and we're 380 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:53.079 broken up. It doesn't make in the same way that 381 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.680 we are not informed at all about Demi Moore and 382 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:02.400 Thomas James failed marriage and now sneaking around. So they're 383 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.960 sleeping together, but then Thomas Jane is seen out with someone, 384 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:11.799 so then dem Mour confronts him because Fisher Stevens and 385 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.799 Gina gershan are a couple friends too. To me, Moore 386 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.480 and Gina Gershaan's like, oh my god, so's Thomas Jane 387 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.519 out with a real bimbo And Demi Moore's like and 388 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.839 Fisher Stevens is like, yo, don't tell her. And so 389 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.200 when dem Moour later confronts Thomas Jane, she's like, are 390 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.880 you seeing other people? And he's like, no, we're back together, 391 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.000 and she's like, oh are we end? I've seen what 392 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.799 am I supposed to feel? And then later it turns 393 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.920 out he is sleeping with other people. Why dude, I care? 394 00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:49.319 Yeah, she didn't think they were back together, or did she? 395 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.200 I don't know what to feel. This movie is having 396 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.960 the opposite problem of how I usually feel about movies, 397 00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:58.000 where I'm like, you don't need to spoon feed me, 398 00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:02.799 not an idiot, And I'm like, no movie, really, write 399 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.039 write it on the graffiti bathroom wall. For me, you 400 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:09.480 were supposed to be upset then Miley lost the worst 401 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.599
