Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
On the Bedel Cast, the questions asked if movies have
women in them, are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands,
or do they have individualism? The patriarchy ze in best
start changing it with the Becktel Cast. Hello and welcome
to the Bechtel Cast. My name is Caitlin, my name
is Jamie, and we're here to talk about movies. But

(00:21):
what about in movies? Were Well, did we already mess
it up? I think that there's like a ten second
threshold long it takes for one of us to speak
in an unintelligible fragment, just really derail it. We talked,
We talked about women in movies, women as women, women women.
This podcast is inspired by the Bechtel test, which requires

(00:43):
that a movie has two women characters in it that
talked to each other about something other than a man.
Someday I want to play a prank and say that
the Bechtel test was invented by Mr Joseph Bechtel has
nothing to do with women at all. That would be
a hilarious joke. Can we say we got iced? We
got iced? For those of you who don't know what

(01:05):
being iced is, which is probably everybody Jesus Christ. I'm like,
first of all, I feel attacked. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
This is, uh, you know, an assault on all my senses.
I if you are listening and you have been iced,
please reach out to me. Let's let's meet at Hamburger Phone.

(01:28):
You can come to my house. We'll just have a
conversation and then at some point I'll ice you. If
you don't know what being iced is in this context,
it's when someone presents you with a smear knof ice,
taking you by surprise, and and then you have to,
I guess, get done on one knee and then chug

(01:49):
the smear knof ice. Yes, there's a there's like a
lot of pomp and circumstance surrounding me. I essentially it's
moving a lot of product for the Smirknov company. I
don't think it's been practiced in at least five years. Besides,
before today, it seems to be a very regional potentially
just New England ten and eleven. Apparently that's the last
time I saw it. Anyway, Um Aristotle, our producer, he

(02:14):
iced us because we were talking about it last week
and he hate we are now Jamie and I are
both drinking smearoff ices. Well you finished yours. You actually,
I was iced the way you're supposed to. And I'm
a little baby and I can't chug anything, so I'm
still drinking. I have my signature, Mike's Harder lemonade, my
my white trap, my ode to white trash. Every week,
take a Mike's Hard to the face. Well gross, wait, no,

(02:40):
that's my dad's name. I need, I need to go home.
Well let's not do that. Let's instead introduce our guests
this week. Okay, good intro though, Yes, that was it
turned It started out pretty rocky, took a turn for
the better. I ended with my dad's hard dick. Anyway,

(03:01):
our guest she she just found out that she's going
to be a series regular on HBO's Insecure. She also
produces a live comedy show at nerd Melt called Smart,
Funny and Black the first Tuesday of every month, and
she's a very funny comedian. Amanda Seals, Thanks for being here,

(03:21):
Thanks for having me. Oh my god, this is like
R and B one am exactly. Yeah. Can you stand
the rain? Can you stand the rain? Mike's That's where,

(03:41):
that's where my dad when he's making love this and
it's kill me. Do you think that people only say
making love in the Pacific Northwest? That's my theory. It
seems like a very Pacific Northwest thing to do. I
think it's pretty uh widespread. Yeah, people make western I
think they make love everywhere. Gross. All right, well I

(04:04):
just did not happen here. You've got no argument for
me that no one's ever said that to me. Yeah, well,
once someone said it to me, I was like, I
need to go some I need to go somewhere else.
Don't say but like making love to me, it has
nothing to do with sex. Like if we're gonna make love,
that means that we're going to like put a puzzle
together and drink hocko, because that's love, like something that

(04:29):
you don't totally want to do, Like you're gonna watch
me do a full interpretive dance to the intro music
to Harry Potter and still like me after. If someone
I'm dating comes to a show I'm on, that to
me is closer to making love than fucking yeah, because

(04:49):
that is inconvenient, very easy to get a man to
have sex with you. It's very hard to get them
to come to your comedy show. I had a guy
tell me on vale Time's Day that he was tired
from meetings and so he could not come to my
one woman show. He was too tired to watch me

(05:11):
perform for an hour and a half by myself, which
tiring by the way he and he even put in
the text the hustle is real gross no yeah, with
two exclamation points, no is he and then you made
love to him later that night. My version of me,

(05:32):
I don't know what my version of making love would be.
It would be like I don't know, Like, I mean,
that was real what you said about them coming to
a show, Like that's you're making love. I mean it
would be like being quiet for a little while, just
like you woman not talked for five minutes. This is
how I make love? Oh you're saying, Like what your
version of making love to someone else would be? Yeah?

(05:53):
Like stuff I would be like inconvenienced, Yeah, sports related endeavors.
I would consider make love on my part. For me,
I think it would be like having them lure some
feelings out of me, like having me express some some
feelings which I don't usually like to talk. It would
be like stop talking about your feelings, right, that's way

(06:15):
for cancer feelings. I'm a leo. I'm very and I'm
just like, like I have feelings. They are important, So
I'm in charge and people love it, love it. Hey,
should we talk about the movie? I don't know. Well,

(06:36):
the Making Love combo is a good segue for the movie.
That's true, pretty good. The movie that we're here to
talk about today is Coming to America, which I think
you said is your favorite movie of all time. So
you grew up with it. When was the first time
you saw it? When is the first time I come
into America? I honestly don't even know, because, yeah, I

(06:58):
was too young to see it in the theater, but
I definitely had it on VHS. I'm pretty sure I
saw it when I was eight, because back then it
took a year for something to come from the theater
to a beach. Which, by the way, I was trying
to go see Mo Wanna and they're like, that's on DVD. Now,
what are you trying to go to the theater? Or
like it's just hadding like November. Yes, that's weird, that's

(07:22):
too that's too fast. I literally was like, I finally
have time to go see Milana and then I saw
commercial that I could just stay just have it. So
I love it. I love it so much, you love it.
That's that's a large expression of feelings. You just made
love to my love, all right. That makes you feel
good about it. Seeing seeing that sixteen year old the

(07:44):
voice of mo Wanna saying at the Oscars, I was like,
maybe I could I canna do that? Yeah? Is that
like a formal princess movie? Not that I see what
is like this? She is it a princess like with
the dress joining the France track? Yeah, I mean, I'm
sure they'll try to poison like that. But this movie
is quite unique in terms of Disney. This film is

(08:06):
quite unique. Kaitlin has to wait. We always forget to
say this. Well, I don't like to mention it, but
I do have a master's degree in screenwriting. I hate
bringing it up. You don't like to talk about We're
pulling it out of here. I feel sick. It could
be the smearnock fights that you just chugged that No,

(08:29):
that went down easy, like like my sweet nectar. I'm
going to Chucky Cheese after this to see how many,
how much they'll serve me. I'm going to there. You
said there's a to drink limit in theory. I feel
like it will not be hard. It's going to be packed.
It's Friday night. It's Friday night night. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(08:50):
Chucky cheese. Anyway, So Coming to America. I had seen
it before, I want to say, like maybe five years ago,
so I wasn't that familiar with it. I had just
seen it that once. Um, Jamie, and you've seen it before,
I had not. You all are so white. Oh my god.
That was like the whitest sentence I heard today from

(09:10):
both of you, but like literally black person listening just
gasped that you've never seen Coming to America, only because
it is on all the time. And it's one of
those movies that like if I if I'm skipping channels
and I see it on, I have you have to.
I have to stop and watch it, Like I can't
not watch it. I know that it was one of

(09:30):
my dad's favorite movies, and we had it. First of all,
my dad's name is Mike. Uh yeah, shout out to
my dad's girlfriend, whose name is Lisa great sway back
to Oh My Night to the movie. But we had
it on VHS and then I think by the time
I was old enough to watch it, we no longer

(09:53):
had a VHS, so I just never saw it. But
I loved it. It's so good. Should I do the recap?
Do the recap time? So I do a very bad
recap on that in most episodes, to everyone's dismay. We've
got a team played by Eddie Murphy. He's the prince
in a fictional African country or kingdom called Zamunda, and

(10:15):
he just turned twenty one and his dad, James L. Jones,
the King, is like, you gotta marry this lady, and
he's like, she's very boring. I don't like her. So
he goes to America to find a bride with his
friend Arsenio Hall friend and servant his name is Semi,
and they like go to Queen's and he meets this

(10:38):
woman who is the daughter of a McDonald's rip off
Jane restaurant, and he falls in love with her, but
he the whole thing is that he wants someone who
was just going to love him for who he is,
so like he pretends to not have any of his
riches and he just pretends to be like a commoner,
very much Jasmine in Laddin and interesting. Yeah, so they

(11:04):
like fall in love and then like something's happened, but
she's also got this like boyfriend who kind of sucks
Darryll and uh you know some Hi jinkson Sue involving
Sam Jackson. Yeah, I love that scene. I love that
he was in it. I love that Louis Anderson is

(11:25):
forgot about randomly. I I'm gonna make the big Arsenio
makes it very pretty lady. Oh my god. Like, I
don't even know where I first saw him, but when
I was a kid, I had a huge crush on
her City Hall and I don't I think this is
like the youngest I had ever seen him. I had

(11:45):
a crush on him when he was already old. That
was my m as a child. Some people like Disney Princes,
you like middle aged black guys. That's your Alextra bed
Kelsey Grammar. Wow, just middle age. I had a very
big crush on Jim from the Adventures of Huck Finn

(12:06):
The Elijah would one by Courtney be fans. Yes, none
of this surprises me. Also, Alfred Molina in Spiderman Too
made me so Horney is a twelve year old. I
had a poster of dot Cock in my room because
my mom, I think, was like, you know, Jay's a tomboy,
she's into she's in action movies now, And I was

(12:28):
just like horny for Molina. That's very peculiar. He's not
a typical heart throb. He's a beef cake. He's a
beef cake with a bad attitude. I love him so anyway,
that's the story of Coming to America. The whole thing
is that, like as he says in the movie, Achem
wants a woman who will arouse his intellect as well

(12:50):
as his loins. Love it, but I don't. The woman
would was my intellect as well as my loins. I
love the accents that they like going and out of
throughout the whatever's comfortable. But the best part of the
movie is that there's like all these just like every
scene is funny, Like there's no not funny scene. And

(13:12):
as a comic, I appreciate that there aren't any throwaway
lines in this movie. Like you can watch this movie
and line for line they're set up punch like. It
all makes a point that can stays consistent throughout. And
then you just have all these random characters that are
played by for the most part's so good see those scenes.

(13:36):
Just to say again coming from a screenwriting master, a
lot of those scenes, Um, a lot of those scenes
felt very unneeded. I feel like they were just like, hey,
we can do different characters, Let's have a barbershop. I
have a genuine question. I'm sure that this was not

(13:58):
the first time that was done, but is this one
of the movies that popularized doing not that like led
us to Jack and Jill or like of the main
star playing multiple characters. That's a really great question because
I don't have a frame of reference for because I
feel like that Sailor movies are like the worst possible
endgame of that trope, but it works so well in

(14:18):
this movie because half the time you have to do
a double take, where in like the Jagging jail kind
of movies was like Jesus Quiet. They might have popularized
it for like mainstream comedies, but there's a bunch of
movies that like, um, yeah, Wizard of Oz, that's I
think Doctor's Strange love differently different characters. Can I uh,

(14:39):
can I give some insight into why the barbershop scenes
are necessary? Because when I when I came and see
me come over to America. They're like, Oh, we need
to go where the common parts are. We need to
be with the common people. Let's go to queens. So
they go to queens, and they're like trying to like
immerse themselves into like Black America can culture, and the

(15:01):
barbershop is an integral part of Black American culture and
experience and just kind of like the ship talking that
happens in the barbershop, and the barbershop ends up being
like what leads them in the right direction for him
to meet Lisa, you know, because and so like it
serves as like the parents for him in America that

(15:23):
he didn't like when he was in because the barber
like leads him directly literally and leads his and leads
his father to him. Like they're kind of like this
centralized nucleus that serve as the home base for queens
the same way that like, essentially it's like saying, like
the barbershop is the palace for queens. Yeah, that's a

(15:45):
very good point. I think maybe I just think that
those scenes go on too long because I'm missing the
man you ain't never been. Yes, I didn't know you
did not you fuck you fuck you next, Like so good.
They brought up they brought up that when yeah, he's

(16:07):
from my hometown, and I was like, oh, it's the
one white boxer that's from where I'm from. Yeah, shout
out to Bracton City Champions aka Rocky Marciano was born
there a very long time ago. There's in my in
my high school, there's a fifty foot statue of Rocky Marciano.
It's gaudy and we like it is a very low income,
Like where did the money come from to make that?

(16:27):
We don't know. It's everybody know that he was not
at all. Those us are so good. I love, I know,
you know what I gotta I gotta be contrary sometimes,
you know, I know, well you're training. I got to

(16:47):
get rid of them. My god, it's just let me
set him on fire. I don't need him, I really don't.
So we have we talked about some of those characters
of the women in the movie. We have the mean mother, Yes,
Queen Yeah, Queen Eli. That was a good scene too.

(17:08):
Lisa McDowell is the kind of I did the main
woman character. Her sister, Patrese Love. Patrese is the voice
of like real. I don't know. Every time I was
just like man, Patrese. Not everybody thinks like you. Yes
they do, they just don't admit it. Right. Yeah, that's

(17:29):
like our intro to Patriqui. And then when she ends
up with Arthen, I'm just like, she wins in my
head because she got to make out with Arseniel Hall.
Why does she? I love how corny she is the
whole so horny, and she has great outfits, which is
all my favorite movie characters fit that description. When they're
at the basketball game, I'm like, Oh, she's just gonna

(17:51):
go for it. Yeah, she just goes him like an
under the coat hand job at a basketball game. Peek patrise.
So those are pretty much the most notable women characters
in the movie. There's also Amani, who is the bride
to be that he leaves back in Zamunda, which it
was just very dumb. Yeah. I just like whenever food

(18:11):
and music, you like like a dog dog. Yeah, she
does worse and worses shop on my leg. I guess
I'm looking a wrong at time. And I love that
the father comes in. It's like I see you are
getting along nicely, or later when he's just like, I
fucked the ladies that Babe was like, man, your poor,

(18:32):
poor queen. I know she knows that. But in their
first yeah, in their first scene, they're basically like, we
won't love each other right for you get married. We
figured it out. I was nauseous when I she's the
first thing I wanted to talk about is how many
of the characters have very poor attitudes towards women. We

(18:56):
start with Arsenio Hall. He's like, look, all a, he
just has to have a very nice face and a
very hot but very like a stop of melons. And
he's like, why do you care what her opinions are?
And meanwhile Eddie Murphy is like, I want a woman
who gives my brain a boner, and then he's a

(19:18):
great attitude. My question in the movie, I'm just like, man,
where did he? Where does this come from? Free? Where? Right?
Because his dad doesn't feel that way? It seems like
his indirection. But I was like, you know, I don't care.
You know what, I would say, that's the only hole
in the film. We don't know why. I know that
Caitlin believes they're a very wide gaping. I don't think,
but I do feel like that is a whole, Like

(19:40):
we never find out like why he in particularly has
decided like just they're going to tell us. I thought
they're going to tell us. In a scene where he's
on the date with Lisa and she's she basically asks
him that question of like why do you think this way?
Even though she still thinks he's poor at the time,
and he gives her an excuse, but he doesn't like

(20:02):
give us. I was like, is there a director's cut? Maybe? Right,
I'm like, is there did you read? Dude? That doesn't
bother me, Like, he's just a free thinker. He got
sick of like just being pampered and who gets that
the Royal penis is plane. That was great. I was

(20:23):
wondering that maybe this year I could have my shoelaces,
know what, you know? He said, I wonder I maybe
this year I could wipe myself And he's like very
funny high yeah, and then no, James RL. Johnson, the
shoelacesces once. He's everything. That's good. Yeah, I mean it
didn't bother me. I didn't. I was just like, you know,

(20:44):
he's just a he's a free thinker, he's a he's
a nice guy. Yeah. I mean, of all the plot
holes that could exist. This is Yeah, I'm okay with that.
He respects women as a I do feel bad for
the like rose bearers who lose their jobs. I don't
want you to throw ropes in my feet anymore. And
I'm like, what's going to happen to the bros bearers?

(21:06):
They'll become dick wipers. They they get promoted to the
Royal penis cleaning. Amazing, what a resume. Yeah, that's like
when I worked at the Gap and this chick was like,
I really can't wait to become a denim specialist, and
I was like, I gotta quit. I can't can't stay here.
I worked at a place once in Austin, mass called

(21:27):
Swiss bakers don't go there, and we were called guest huggers,
which is disgusting the Swiss or pervert. I was a
shift lead. I'd show up at four in the morning.
I was twenty one. I shouldn't have been there. And
then the owner was a Swiss guy and he's like,
you know your guest huggers, So if a guest comes
in and ask to hug you, you must oblige. No,

(21:49):
so not against the wood, absolutely against a lot, but
to them against a lot equals Swiss custom. And if
someone if some pervert per se wanders in at five
thirty in the morning and I was like, I want
to hug you gotta hug him. Did that happen? It
happened several times. Very few people actually wanted hugs. But
the only people who want hugs other people. You don't

(22:11):
want to be hugging. So um words. Oh so that's
my dick wiper job because it fell in to an extent,
it was a dick whipper and I had to make
them a lot day. Yeah, sorry, you know what I'm doing. Okay,
I recovered. He's making a lot of Mike's hard lemonade though,

(22:31):
hitting the sauce hard, hugging, yeah, nubbing the effect. Imagine
waking up at three thirty in the morning to go
feel someone's hard dick. No sound in New York. At
least I was getting paid. That's so Arsenio's you know,

(22:54):
attitudes towards women are not very great. And then now
there is the king. He's just like, oh, who cares.
She's a woman and she's hot, and we picked her
for you, so marry her. Then we um Darryl. Darryl
is the next person. Darryl is Lisa's boyfriend. Whenever we
first meet Lisa, he's all, like, a woman just needs

(23:16):
to be taken care of. You don't need to work.
I'll take care of you. I got my what's the
name of the hair product? Just letting you're so glow,
just lady, chan baby, just lay your so. Yeah, he's
got that so glow fortune. He's like, let me just
take care of you. When this episode comes up, I'm

(23:36):
going to make that marrying tongue the genuine question again,
what is Lisa's job exactly at McDowell's. She's on the
computer and yeah, she seems like she's crunching numbers. She's
got she's our social media according she has a recent grad.
I figure things out. She's working it out. No, I

(23:59):
think she's like, they're a bookkeeper, right, because she like
has this like she's the one who's like donate you know,
all right, we gotta fix up Lincoln Park. That's the
scene where we all fall in love with Lisa likes
what a grand, motivated, beautiful person. It is also the
scene that is what makes the movie one of the
best movies ever made in the history of the world,
because we get to meet Randy Watson. Randy Watson you

(24:22):
might know him, that the policeman from What's Going Down
episode and that's my mama. That's not where I know.
Oh but that scene is another Bethel des scene, like
how they have all the women in bikinis, right, So
that yeah, that so that Black Awareness Rally is really

(24:45):
just like a beauty pageant with like wins why did
anyone win? At the end of he is like everyone
show your ass and now you can leave. It was like,
but woy, who won? Who won this? I think that
what that's references. Have you ever seen Jet Magazine? Yes,
so Jet Magazine was like a little mini magazine, but

(25:06):
it's like a it's a legendary black women's magazine, and um,
I want necessarily say it's a black women's magazine, but
it's like it was like a black It's still in print,
like is it no, they're on they stopped printing. It
was like a whole thing like maybe two and a
half years ago, and every issue of Jet Magazine had
a Jet Beauty of the Week, and the Jet Beauty

(25:29):
of the Week would be like in some very eighties
bikini and sitting on like a rock you know, or
some ship and then it would have like her likes
and her you know, her goals, and it was always
just vapid vs. But the Black Awareness Rally is essentially
like here are the jet beauties of the week, Like

(25:50):
that's essentially what they're doing. Yeah, I didn't look up who.
I wonder who the women in the actual like line
of I wonder if we're that Well in the scene
with the three guys from my t shop, from the barbershop,
you know, the three of them are sitting there at
the Black Ranness Rally in front of them in the

(26:10):
row in front of them is director f Gary Gray,
who directed straight Ava Coompton and Friday. Well, that's crazy
trying to bring you out some some extra facts, some
black facts. This is yeah, there are there were so
many things I had to pause and which isn't like

(26:30):
ordinary for just like watching a comedy is like I
had to pause multiple times and be like, wait a second.
What I had to like find the list of who
is Eddie, Who's are sending from the list of parts, Yeah,
because I didn't know that that was a part of
the movie, and so by the time I figured it out,
I'm like, wait, what did I already miss? Yeah, yeah,
there's there's a lot of sexism, though I really it's

(26:53):
like almost like, I mean, I know that, but it
never made me like the movie less almost like a
little John song there's I mean, there are there are
some I don't know, and I guess like Eddie Murphy,
who's like kind of arguably like a problematic dude in
a lot of ways, it like in regards to his

(27:15):
stand up anyways. Um, Like, I wasn't totally surprised to
see some like women, but of the joke things like
at the beginning, before we meet the really hot lady
who doesn't have any thoughts of her own, we the
person who introduces her, you know, is like a bigger woman,
and he's like, oh yeah, uh. That joke is he

(27:37):
doesn't find her attractive. Um, And there's like a few
things like that that I man, it's not that I
gave the benefit of the doubt, but I wasn't like
surprised to see because if it was any Murphy standing
like I don't know, it was like I wasn't totally
surprised to be like, oh, this movie isn't amazing to women.
I was honestly surprised that I loved Lisa so much,

(27:58):
and Lisa was so clearly awesome. She was very definitively
like not about the bullshit, but she was very much
the only woman character who was like that every other
woman because mom, yeah true, I mean produced you know,
she was sexually free third wave feminism, Kim Karashian feminist

(28:20):
type ways. Yeah, because maybe at the time it was like, oh,
this is like the sister, but I don't know through seggs,
she's just sexually liberated, and I think she was just
like more material. She's more like a she was the
Basketball Wives sister. Yeah yeah, yeah, Like she's more like

(28:41):
why is she always get the rich guys? Like she's
like that brings me to the fourth dude character who
is not very great towards women, which is their dad,
Cleo mcdone. He's basically just like a mercenary who's like,
who's the richest guy who I can marry my daughter?
Under off too. That was one of the scenes where

(29:02):
I was like, wait, like that was a weird parallel
between was the fake Country anymore Munda And I was
like that wouldn't have happened in someone being like, hey,
my daughter is gonna marry this guy I don't know,
like Queen's and with that that's happening in Queen's right now,
like literally, I mean I think it came from a

(29:25):
different place. I think it did come from a place
of like I want my daughter to be taking care
of because he's like a single father, Like she doesn't
have they don't have her mom around. So I think
because there because even though that there was that once
James Joe Jones was like, I'll pay you. He was
like to leave my daughter alone. That's when he know,

(29:46):
but he was like no, He was like, you can't
buy my daughter off, like offers him a million dollars
to million dollars. She's like no, she's yeah, which redeems him. Yeah.
So I feel like he was just like I do,
feel like it was more out like my daughter is
someone that's worth something more than like I want to
just pedal my daughter off. I tried to contextualize a

(30:08):
little with like, mm, you know, if you would Mike
be okay, if I was like, hey Mike, I'm dating
a janitor, uh, he would be like David, come on,
you know, like even if and I could be like no,
this this janitor is Eddie Murphy. He's great, and my
dad would be like, I don't know, you know, like

(30:29):
you know, I guess my lawyer told me that I
cannot date anyone who doesn't have a master's. It was like, well,
it was like that's tough. Really, that's yeah, I have
the people here. He was like, high school, I'm gonna
talk what do you want to talk about? I've meant
more successful high school dropouts here. Then it's like it's
but then to talk about because that's the thing. There's

(30:51):
nothing I'm like. But she was like, she was like,
you were not. She was like, there's going You're gonna
hit a wall. She was like, you're gonna hit a wall. Look,
you don't need to talk. You just make we call
that a call back. I love it. You have the masters.
You're like hot tail. I gotta get masters. I gotta

(31:13):
be more in debt. That's what's gonna make me like
a valuable partner. I definitely. Yeah, I'm still playing paying
Colombia for that masters and solid thirty three thousand left.
That's not that bad. That's like, I mean, I'm thirty
six this year, so okay, Yeah, I've been paying this
off for almost fifteen years. I just got under forty

(31:37):
for my undergrad and I've never felt better in my time.
If my income is low enough right now where they're
not making me pay back my loans, I've lived that life.
That's amazing. So I just have to stay poor and
I die and I don't ever have to pay them back. Legitimately,
my plan stole it. I don't want to get rich

(31:58):
enough that I can pay them back. I want to
stay or enough that I don't have to pay them back.
I don't deserve it, and I think I can settle,
like I think I'm at enough. Of us told me
that I think I've had like a low enough balance
where if I hit him up and was like, listen,
how about I just gave you a four thousand bucks

(32:18):
and we call any when they won't take it that low,
but like if it's thirty three, they might take twenty three. Well,
you're a serious regular now on an HBO alumnihilist listen.
And the time my mom today was like, remember when

(32:39):
you used to sell bags on my space? Yes, I
used to sell hand painted tote bags on my space. Yes,
that's amazing, thank you. It's a good idea very difficult. Yeah,
that sounds like a long time. Yeah, there it is. Yeah,
I used to be a paint night instructor. That was
my hug caught me that drunk too, Yeah, and I

(33:02):
trained for it and then I was like, this is
I've had every bad job, but this is too much.
It's a thing where like usually middle aged women go
to like a bar and it's disturbing. It's like an
event where you just like paint a painting. There's an
instructor who like teaches you like it's like usually a
landscape or a tree or somethin You drink Margarita's, you

(33:26):
drink white wine, and then you just get drunk with
your friends. It means very like how comrade twenty four.
That's why it's grossed to you. It's really to me.
I'm like me and the gal painting, Oh my god,
this sounds amazing. It's like where everyone where they're like
former sorority, they're like, you won't be great if we
all made the same bad painting. Can we talk about

(33:47):
the there's a montage where um, a Cheam and Semi
go to a bar and there's all these very ludicrous
women who I mean very l a. Some of them
bothered me, others did not. Like some of them seem
more like satirical, like the girl who's talking about a
career and stuff like I don't really want to do

(34:08):
like my own videos, wanna be my starting my own songs,
you know, because I mean that's a lot of Antle's conversation. Laughed, Yeah, yeah,
Like I thought that was really funny. And then there
were a few that were more like what were the
ones did any bother you or bothered me? But they
were all just like such ridiculous, I want to tear
you to pieces that and your friends spit and a

(34:31):
great spit take. I wrote that it was like, great,
he spends the entire movie just like mugging. Arsenio's over
forty and this movie he's like forty three in this movie.
Damn well, you know what the best women in that
scene are though, right, oh my name is and the

(34:52):
best all the j's want to feel my breath? Wickupick
up movie should end right there? Owner you found that
was my like voicemail message for a good four years.
Like if I wasn't a series regular on the HBO
hitch so insecure, I would put it back. Sorry, I'm

(35:14):
that's my screenwriting degree too. I love them, and I
also there's another pair of twins. I don't know if
those yes. What I love about it is that they
are speaking in unison and they say something like, this
is the first time Teresa and I've been out since
the doctor separated us. But they both say Teresa their names.

(35:40):
I have never got that. I have seen this film
nine twenty two point seven five times. I have never
got that. I think it's maybe the best joke in
the entire movie. Oh my god, this is and I've
been oun since the doctor separate this is for centuries,
and I've been out since the Doctor's epated us. Because
they have the beat in there and they were sitting

(36:04):
as if they were can still conjoined twins to like
just like a little to left, dude, have you ever
like gotten into the conjoined twins wormhole? Like of googling stuff?
I started it and then I ended up purchasing books.
It took I used to work at a bookstore and
one day there was like a sale. There was sale
about there's these great vaudeville conjoined twins, Violet and Daisy.

(36:29):
That's what there's a play yes, Yeah, there's so much.
A Netflix documentary. They were in movies and all this stuff,
and you like, I was like, there's gotta be a
chapter in their sex life. There is. They were horny
as hell and they made it work. I love them
how they either by one twin choosing to be chill,

(36:51):
I mean, like have a good night, I'm going to
turn my head to the side, or there was like
a curtain arrangement. Do you remember where they were joined?
They were joined like traditionally like at the at the hip.
My question was, can one twin feel if the other
twin is coming? Would you know if you're twins? Did
they talking to separate vaginas? They did have two separate vaginas. Yeah, okay,

(37:16):
so and they were both married at one point and
they were also like for a while riches. Fuck wow.
Anyway back to the no no no no. So there's
a line that Lisa delivers whenever. So there's a party
where Darryl goes to Lisa's dad and it's like, Hey,

(37:37):
I'm gonna ask your daughter to marry me, and Cleo
is like great, and then they just decide her future
for her basically, and it's like she's like I'm not
apprised to be one again, just like in Aladdin with
Jasmine Um. But she goes out and she just starts
talking to a cheam and she's like, I'm not going
to be pressured into marriage, not by my father or

(37:59):
Darryl or anyone. But then not long after that she
gets married anyway, at the end of the movie to
a chem She's married after saying exactly, but she tells
him like yourself, yeah, yeah, take your earrings. I feel
fine with how it ended. Yeah, like because then he

(38:19):
says to her, like, we don't have to live like this.
Would you give this up? And renounced right right? I
don't know. There's like so many sometimes I kind of
get caught up in that, Like everyone thinks that movies
should end like Sex in the City the series where
it's like I don't have a man, I'm fine, but
it's like you can still be a fine person and

(38:42):
like empowered and and and like yeah and like be
in love and stuff. And I feel like it's almost
like that, I mean, that's what can happen. Maybe it's
just because I'm so cynical and so sent every year
who has someone to be with. I's like, fuck you

(39:03):
and your stupid wedding and your pink dress not dress,
which I appreciate. I liked that. Okay, Patrese wears a
two piece pank outfit the first time she hooks up
with our Sinea in this movie, with these unbelievable earrings,
and I'm just like that. I screenshot at it. I

(39:24):
was like, let me figure this out. I want Patrese's
look here. Let me. It seems achievable, but I don't know. Well,
you lived in Englewood, I live. You can definitely achieve
that look slas and swat meat. I lived right by
um yes, yes, like right around the corner. Yeah. I

(39:48):
went to that Walmart optometrist to get glasses and then
I called back a year later. I was like, hey,
I came here last year. Can I come back? And
they're like, this Walmart is closed. I was like, okay,
see you never there's a what I think is a
trading places reference. Yes where like yeah, Randolph, I told you,

(40:10):
I'm not talking to you anymore. Oh I miss okay
because I I haven't seen trading places for a long time,
but I have seen it and it was like that
rings up. Yeah. For some reason, yeah, he gives um
them a lot of cash. He basically takes Semmi's spending
money and he's like, you can't do any more damage
with this. I'm and to pour homeless white guys on

(40:31):
the street. And then it turns out that they're the
characters from Trading Places Looking Good, Valentine, I feel like
the Winthrop. There's a scene at the beginning where I
had to double check when this movie was made because
it sounds it almost sounded like James W. Jones was
doing a weird MoU Fossa reference. But then I was like,
apparently he just plays royalty a lot, because he was
just like he says something like like I was like,

(40:54):
that's a move yeah, yeah, yeah, And I was like,
that sounds like move Fossa. But it was that sounds
like that very yes, well, because yeah, they're interchangeable. He
does play a king a lot um. He's legal as
fun Vader yea that and Royal Conan the Barbarian. I
think of that he's a bad guy, but I think

(41:18):
he's like a lead two cast. James Earl Jones is
like a popper. He sounds like fucking royalty, like that
would maybe be fun a fun turn that could be
his good will hunting. This time, James Earl Jones sounds
the same, except he is poor. Haven't out instant If

(41:39):
James Okay, this is my theory. If James Earl Jones
played someone very poor, he would win an oscar. He
has a very bad job, which is crazy. He's gotta
he's got to have a good will hunting. You've got
to have a Dallas Buyers Club. He's overdue. These are
all movies with all white men, though. This is but
I want James. I want that for James Earl killing,
I know, I want well, It's like even like Denzel

(42:01):
not winning for Fences was like, that's true, I mean,
and what a fucking abysmal actual win for Casey Affleck
who I would kill using my legs if I had
any I can't stand them. That was so specific. Oh
I would kill using my legs. I have very strong legs.
I think yourself vocadom. I like to think I could

(42:24):
do that too, like wrap and then squee yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's like some shadow. What's that movie about teeth teeth Vagina?
That was my favorite movie in high school? Have you
heard about this it's a horror movie. A woman discovers
she has teeth in her vagina and then she uses
it for vigilante justice. They have they have condoms in

(42:47):
South Africa that they were using that have like, I mean,
quote unquote teeth inside the condom, so it's like a
woman's it's like a feminom that women put up their
vaginas to uh be safe against rapists so that the
teeth grab and so they can move themselves out of
him and be like piece off like that. Why isn't

(43:08):
that everywhere? That's believable. Yeah, that's like a thing. It's
like a little bear trap. Wait, Aristotle held up that
thing that said the sand Lot? What's that about? What? What?
What's that? You don't know about the sand Lot? I
mean I know that it's a movie, but I didn't
know what it was. You're killing me, Smalls, you're killing me? Yeah?

(43:29):
I know that. Wait. Does Jim Joel Jones in it? Yeah?
He's is he a king in it too? Well, he's
like a former like legendary baseball player. But they don't.
They're afraid of him, they think because they're like he's
like a recluse. And then they finally go over there
to get the ball, and it turns out that he's
like this legendary baseball player. I have chills thinking about it, literally,

(43:51):
I have right now. The end he's still higher echelon,
but you just don't know it for a long got it.
I've never seen The sand Lot, although I thought I
was about to watch it one time I went over.
I was in seventh grade. I went over to my
friend's house and he had friends over and he had
a swimming pool, and then we're like, hey, guys, we're
going to watch the sand Lot. Yeah, so we go
and sit down around this TV. They hit play and

(44:13):
then apporne and I didn't even know what the sand
Lot was. I was like, is this going to call
my vagina as well? Oh my god? Yeah, I feel
like everyone, Okay, that's a very extreme example of we're
going in to watch a movie but actually something horrible

(44:35):
light moment. He never knew what's gonna happen. So that's
like the Betel Test movie too, though, because there's a
lot of you so like a girl. Yeah, yeah, there's
a lot of good we should do a kid's movie.
So yeah. Um. My version of that story was at
Winter was in high school. Uh my, my friend Jenny

(44:57):
invited a bunch of us over to watch p US
I Love You on DVD from Blockbuster. This is like
the waning days of Blockbuster. But right. I made eye
contact with him one time because I was an extra
on this set of Bounty Hunter whatever that movie was.
He looked right at me. I looked right at him,
became instantly pregnant. Oh my god. Anyways, I love you.

(45:24):
Um So I went to watch ps I Love You
and our valedictorian showed up, a weird guy, as valedictorians
tend to be. But he showed up and he wasn't
like technically invited, and we're like, why Richie here, this
is weird. And then the middle of ps I Love You,
Richie pretends to fall asleep on me, and I'm like, okay,

(45:45):
let make Jesus sleep on me. And then when I
I sort of let him rest there, and then he
grabbed my left boob and then I was like and
then there was like two other people in the room
and they didn't really see what was going on. And
then Richie like is like, I'm tired, I gotta go home,
and they boots out and we don't talk for the
rest of high school. Whoa he So he sexually assaulted

(46:08):
you and then he fled the scene at the Yeah,
I guess, so I get. But it was it was
like a honk. It was a weird sexual it's a
sexual assault, but it was Richie, So I wasn't afraid.
I was just like I hated that. And then when
he left it, my friend Jenny, like I don't know,
came to and she was just like, why would she leave?
So suddenly I was like, well, hey, he was not

(46:29):
invited be he honked my boob and left. Man, it's
like we have honked. It's sort of like the reverse
of what happens in the basketball scene up Coming to
America where he's like, oh, you gotta dick under this coat,
let me touch a little bit. And then he stands
up and he was like yes, and then he's like
I gotta go. It's halftime. He's like, this is my
favorite of the game. Yeah, so maybe, But then he

(46:51):
goes to the bathroom and gets recognized. That's yeah, this
is the happy s D of my life. Do you
know that I someone I mentioned right, Yeah, And that's
such a great one. I think I need to watch
it again and just watch it like without expectation, Like

(47:15):
you just have to watch it like it's just a
long sketch show. I mean, I like the movie. It
don't get me wrong. I just had something when she
said it, I note is literally a thing I only
learned about, like in l A. Like when I would

(47:36):
receive notes for something in New York, it wasn't notes
coming to me and it was like like executives were
getting notes on the project that I did a pilot
for something whatever. Out Here though, it's like everyone has
notes for everything. Yeah. And I literally sent someone a
video that I had made for Instagram because they had

(48:00):
made a joke and I had a video that could
be like that went along with the joke. And they
replied and said, oh, did you want notes on this?
And this is an Instagram videos for fifteen seconds? Did
you flip a table? That's like? I was like, why
would I want? What? What are you talking about? And
he was like, yeah, I mean people the guy people

(48:22):
often send me Instagram videos to give them notes. And
I was like, why would that be a thing? Love notes,
love career advice? I did not ask for. I had
someone who was going to be a guest on my pilot,
come to the live dress rehearsal of it. Never speak
to me like never like said hi, like I'm going

(48:43):
to do your pilot next week. Nice to meet you.
But however, sent notes on my show via somebody else.
I hate people assigning value to their opinions. It's so gross. Yeah,
I was like, why would I give any of a
fun right? But if, like, deep down, it does make
me insecure about something I wasn't going to be insecure

(49:05):
about before, So it ends up just hurting everyone. I
don't know, nobody needs your notes. That being said, I
do give notes professionally on screenplays. If you want to
go to my website, but you wait to be asked
confidence and it's constructive. Yeah yeah, Like I literally had

(49:28):
someone safe for smart, funny and black, like you should have.
You shouldn't have comedians because they're they're trying, they're having
to think too much about being funny. And I was
like that, I gotta go to grow up, get a
library card, I gotta get out of here. And steampunk
check staunch, no steampunks, no steampunks, no, none of that.

(49:48):
And every episode steampunk Culture referenced it just makes me
think of that waas movie that's exactly that is like
peak steampunk, but also a great movie. So that's part
a great movie. That's I enjoy it. I know all
the words of the theme song, Oh my god, Wow
well West, that's almost all the you know what that

(50:08):
song comes from? No from cool MODI had a song
called Wow Wow West. Really it's a sample. I didn't
know that. So the like court sample and then the
actual music doom, that's a Stevie Wonder sample. I knew that.
I knew that get back, but the chorus West learning

(50:34):
every day. That's what we come together for. It, that's
what community is for, it what togetherness is for. That's
true Holmes steepunk. The modern interpretation of Holmes, like Robert
Downey totally seem punk. I'm just but I, oh, you
know what else, probably Back to the Future part three,
definitely doing he's a jury punk. Yeah, he's in which

(51:02):
the biggest invented steampunk shit steam. I will say. The
one thing about that's like steampunk adjacent that resonates with
me is the harpoon gun. Every time I invoke a weapon,
that's my as my first choice is I want to
you know, like I'm going to harpoon you, so I
do invoke the harpoon gun a lot that is vaguely steampunk.

(51:22):
Well that's a shout out to my who realized this discrepancy. Yeah, anyway,
the last thing I wanted to say about this movie
is so Eddie Murphy his attitude toward women, the fact
that he wants someone who stimulates his brand and he
can have a conversation with that's encouraging. That's good. I

(51:43):
like that all of the other main characters who are
men have, as we discussed, pretty poor attitudes toward women,
and none of them really like we said, like Lisa's
father sort of redeems himself by saying like my daughter's
not for sale, but everyone else kind of. I want
them to see them more, to learn their lesson and

(52:03):
for their character arc happening, for them to grow that
doesn't really happen. Arseneo gets to just be with Patrese,
which I do like that pairing, but um, yeah, I
don't know. They still have like pretty poor attitudes. And
I mean this, this movie terribly and crazily fails the
beckteldst Actually I think always talking about actually, oh my God,

(52:28):
to degree Caitlin coming through. Actually, there is the scene
where Lisa and Patrese are in I think their home
and they receive a package. It's the diamond earrings that
Akeem sends to Lisa. They start off the conversation not
talking about men or a specific man. They're literally just

(52:50):
talking about the ear rings in the package. Technically passes
the backtel test. You must have a yeah, yeah, I
don't guess you do. Ain't nobody given anybody ears like
that unless they've given up the nanny. You know this
like literally talked about them. I can just watch it
and say all the words that's great, and watch the

(53:13):
favorite line. But why do you know all the words?
I can? I could probably recite another. Oh, that movie
scares me. They're doing like a TV show that's kind
of like a spoof on that. They're doing a jink
spoof about time. That's what I say. But that scene,
so that scene, like I said, it digresses into them

(53:35):
talking about secret meyer and men, insects with men and
stuff like that to the top of the scene technically passes.
There's also another one where towards the end of the movie,
the king was like, oh, he just came just came
to America to sew his royal oats. He doesn't care
about you. So Alsa is very upset and she like

(53:57):
runs out into the living room and the Queen goes,
are you alright, honey or something like that, and she's
just like, I gotta go. But that's technically a conversation
between about man specifically an amazing coat. She's a full
length she and I would dive for. It's like Swede
or something. And then she immediately goes out into the rain.

(54:20):
What does that mean? This is a very New York coat,
Like it's a it is Swede, but it's like it's
like a swede that you expect that it can get wet. Okay, yeah,
it's like a coated swede, I guess. And then the
inside is like wool and it's the it's literally the
warmest jacket you've ever ever worn in your life. I

(54:42):
saw that jacket and I was like, my mom definitely
had the QVC version jacket. It has the you know,
thirty five dollar version of that jacket. It just doesn't
look waterproof. And she goes out into the pouring rain
and I was just like, that poor jacket, you gotta
end you got you gotta have a rain scene. Yeah,
the rain scene was very attached to me. I really

(55:04):
I was surprised how barely this movie passes the Bechtel
test formally for a movie that whose protagonists has such
a good attitude about but there's so few conversations with
just women. Yeah. Yeah, it's literally like three women characters.
It's just strange that, like usually the movies that barely
pass it don't have a great attitude about about women,

(55:27):
Like where the scene that I was default too is
the scene from Um where that scene barely passes because
of a similar exchange. It's like you're home late, shut
up between like a step mom and a daughter, and
that movie didn't have a great attitude towards women, but
this one barely passes. And that's just the most depressed

(55:52):
god saying that such a drag. Next level there is
like there's opportunity for women to speak to each other
more in this movie because of the like the pretty
strong relationship that's established between Lisa and Patrese. When they
are in a scene together, they're usually talking about Achim
or Darryl, so it doesn't pass. But the thing is

(56:15):
neither of them get that much screen time, Like I
really part of why I don't like that those scenes
with all of the barbershop go on for so long,
as it takes time away from Lisa's screen time, Like
she could be a much more developed character, and she's
just like but she. I mean, if you added it up,
she made has twenty minutes of screen time, Like we
don't get to know her that well pretty much what

(56:39):
I do see e her. I like, but she But
the story is not about her. It's not about her,
but we could it's about yeah, but it's about him
finding the right woman for him. So I feel like
if we just knew her a little bit better and
we could understand why she's the best match for him.
Well that's why I like Atlanta because I watch it.

(57:02):
You know, Atlanta at first glance feels like, oh, it's
just gonna be about dudes and we're gonna have to
just like see Donald Glover. But then no, like there's
entire episodes just about the woman who plays is child's
mother and so it's just a but it's like they
also had time. Sure, yeah, well they had time in
this movie. It's two hours long. They just gave so

(57:23):
much of its barbershop scenes that I can recite. I
would not. I would What is that velvet? It's beautiful.
I wouldn't. Barbershop. Who plays that the Jewish guy Murphy
is it? Really wasn't sure, damn it. I missed one.
I was like, because I looked at the list, I'm like, no,

(57:44):
I can figure it out. The only one that's not
played by either of them is the short guy in
the barbershop, was like the voice of reason. That's neither
of them, but like the guy who cuts the hair,
and you know, people getting juniors in the movie, right,
so he gets he's the first person in the chair
when they when they first go in the barbershop, coople

(58:04):
get duds in the chair. I missed that, damn it.
And I'm just in the middle of the people versus
I've seen the whole ESPN. I've seen Mary. I couldn't
watch it was It's very melodramatic. So I don't even
understand why it's winning all these awards. I don't get it.
I like, I like, I like it, but it's so much.

(58:26):
Who's the antress who plays Marcia? Sarah Sarah Paulson. Yeah,
she does really well. Did you know that Marshall Clark
has nudes. I found them? Why were you looking for them?
Because it's referenced in the People Versus O J. It's
not referenced in the documentary. And then I recently wanted
the series and they referenced like Marcia, did you know
your nudes from when you're twenty five? Got late? And

(58:47):
she's like no, and like those better fucking be real
they are? She looks great? Uh cool? Does anyone else
have any Does anyone have any final thoughts about the movie,
specifically the portrayal of women in the movie. I mean,
I don't think the portrayal of women in the movie
is as profound as it could have been. But what
I do appreciate is that, at the very least, because

(59:09):
this was also a time when like that was coming through,
Like we were seeing Sally Field and like Meryl Street
play these roles like in silk Wood and in like
Steel Magnolias, where like it was very women's centric, was
just now becoming like even a concept like oh, women's
movies to um. But I do appreciate that, like the

(59:30):
lead and the overall concept of this movie is about
looking at women beyond sexual objects. Yeah, and then that's
established pretty early that that is like what the protagonist
is looking for. Like he's literally in a hot tub,
like in a bathing pool with the three women, and
he's just like, oh um, can't we talk about because

(59:53):
with the most with most, like I guess, comedy and
round comes. It's starts with like the male character feels
the opposite and then must be persuaded throughout the movie.
Do not only want to fuck but I like that
A team starts like Okay, I've fucked enough, you know which.
Imagine a man saying that I'm good. I want to

(01:00:14):
talk about that's where is he? Where is he? I
want that person? Where is he at? We'll find find
our sweet prints he's in. He's a Chuck chese that
chuck e cheese tonight you gotta go to check. What
if what if it literally started taking the bartender at
Chuck Mike would be like come on, would be like

(01:00:41):
now this, yeah, I've I've already went down enough times
with the professions of people that I've run inside me,
so uh yeah, maybe not. But if he's amazing, Hey, hey,
if he gives me a free blue moon, for sure,
for sure. My selling praise is like seven dollars years. Okay,
let's do the subject. Hey, let's write the movie. Okay.

(01:01:04):
So we reade the movie on the scale of zero
to five nipples, the nipple scale, the famous spectel cast nipples,
and we read it specifically on its portrayal of the
women in the movie. Specifically on its portrayal of women
in the movie. I'm gonna give it a three and
a half. Actually, I'm going to give it a four

(01:01:25):
because the four main like representations of women in the
movie are Lisa Patrese, Prince Akim's mom, and then the
woman at the beginning, and three out of four of
those are very like in charge of their lives, are
very vocal, you know, and don't feel like suppressed to

(01:01:46):
say no to things that are not in their individual
per view. And I appreciate that. And they don't have
like consequences for being that either. They're not punished for it. Yeah,
we're just another rare empowered woman thing. We didn't talk
about the Queen that much. I wish we she Yeah, um,

(01:02:07):
she doesn't get much screen time either, but when she's
on screen, she's basically being like, hey, husband of mine,
quipping a fucking stupid idiot. This basically he's a cuk,
but he doesn't he doesn't want to project that image.
But like we know, she knows. I mean he's wearing
a giant lion face right, like he's got something which

(01:02:30):
proved he's fassa maybe foresta. Yeah, I'm gonna give it.
I'm gonna give it three and a half nipples because
cant do you make a good point that there? That
I liked all the female characters I you know, and

(01:02:53):
the woman at the beginning he's supposed to marry. I
felt for her, even if she was just she was
conditioned to be that way. We're all conditioned by the patriarchy.
She didn't have the opportunity being to develop her own personality,
So I don't hold it too much against her. But
the screen time thing that you have pointed out that
was like that, that is a good point, um and
the fact that it barely passes the Betel test in

(01:03:15):
spite of its good attitude towards women. So three and
a half I'm gonna give to those nipples to put
trees because she is my favorite character. I'm gonna give
half a nipple to the lady. I feel bad for
I'm gonna give one nipple to the queen nice, I'm
gonna give it three nipples, because I like that at
least the main character's attitude towards women isn't. Yes, I

(01:03:37):
want someone to stimulate me intellectually. In addition to mak
they only do that in the Pacific North Cess. Like
I said, the other men in the movie do not
have nearly as progressive attitudes toward women, and there I
feel like, don't suffer the consequences of those bad thoughts

(01:03:58):
and ideas. And well, I mean Daryl gets broken up
with but then and then he's like in the rain,
it ruins his Jerry curl right, that was the big deal.
Was more poignant than I was expecting it to be.
This like, but can we say that like the guys
in the barbershop, they were never disrespectful to women, and
they were also like, well, you need to go to

(01:04:20):
the Black Awareness rally, like there's really, you know, women
there that are about more than just like going to
the club. And then he says like that's why I'm going,
Like although the women there are mostly again in a
beauty pageant, just like being very objectified. Yeah, I think
my main. My main thing is that I just wish

(01:04:42):
we had gotten to know Lisa a bit more. I agree,
I agree, and I selfishly wanted more screen time for
Patrese because I didn't want to absorb her. Let's see
a Patrese and Lisa spin off. Patrise to return to America,
Character to America. I want to coming to Zamunda. That's

(01:05:02):
what's gonna say. I would love to see Putris and
Semunda Like, what is that? Don't make me write this
movie movie? We've got it. Yes, I'm just gonna start
sending people files and see if they assume that they Amanda,
