Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of never
Going to Friend you up, Never going to Dot you
down home. That's all I got this courtesy brducer Brian
uh and Rick Astley, my vocal coach. I am Jack
and I'm sure to be joined by our writer and researcher,
(00:20):
mister J. M mc nah good. Good better now that
I heard the Rick Astley. Yeah, pah man. You remember
when someone would just rick roll you and you would
just want to kill yourself? Uh man, just the shame,
(00:43):
the shame. I'm still recovering from the shame of being
rick rolled. Fucking whiplash man. Anyways, let's tell the people
some things that are trending, shall we? Shall we do that?
Let's do it. So there's a I don't know where
was this article, Hollywood Reporter. Maybe somebody's writing that millennials
(01:04):
are rewatching girls. I think it's the New York Times,
the New York Times. There is that real yeah, yeah,
that's funny. The New York Page. That's so that's so
perfect because the New York Times is like they've just
Lena Dunham is their reason for getting out of bed
(01:24):
in the morning and has been since they went to
a cocktail party at her friend's house or at her
parents house in their early nineties, and she like told
them funny jokes as a three year old, and um god,
there do you remember those articles like when Girls first
came out, and it was like all these articles were
(01:46):
like I used to go to cocktail parties at her parents'
house and she was such a delight she would sit
there and entertain us. So of course, like the second
that there is an upward trend in metrics of like
people watching Girls on HBO, they're like, we've got we've
got a front pager for you, maybe, but I don't know.
(02:08):
I do always like this is definitely a phenomenon that
we see where a show from the past that we
think we're like done with becomes very popular with people
who didn't watch it the first time around. And Girls is,
according to a spokesperson for HBO, viewership doubled between November
(02:28):
and January compared with the previous three months. And there's
just been a lot of TikTok chatter on Girls. And
there is the good Soup meme, which is Adam Driver
eating soup and then saying in a very Adam Driver
serious way, good soup. I think is how he says
(02:50):
it good soup and then gives the aok hand gesture
to his bowl of soup, which there's a lot of
you know, it was we met Adam Driver. I'm a
fan of his weird intensity and just very singular personality
on screen charisma. So I watched Girls Didn't always love it.
(03:13):
Definitely felt like a lot of the criticism was earned
with regards to it being a show made by people
whose parents paid their rent, who hadn't fully grappled with
the fact that they existed in a weird world where
their parents paid their rent that was different from the
(03:34):
rest of the world. But it was it was still
like worth watching. I would say, oh yeah, I mean
I do think, like to reading through this article, it's
not just people discovering it for the first time. It's
probably people that watched it and are kind of going
back and you know, sort of reinterrogating share their feelings
around it. Sure, which makes it and I feel like, yeah,
(03:57):
that happens every so often. Like I feel like Friends
came out on Netflix, people kind of did a similar
thing where they all went back and we're like, oh, well,
this doesn't hold up as well as you know it
did when I was fifteen or whatever. Sure, it makes
sense to do that. And I wonder if because because
it spiked last fall, Like I wonder if it was
(04:17):
just like when everything started disappearing off of HBO Max,
people were like, well, this is our last chance to
watch Girls before, right, some executive just takes it away forever. Yeah,
just put it in his private basement collection, right like Ursula.
He just takes all the HBO shows the rest of
us used to be able to watch and keeps them
(04:38):
in his little dungeon. Yeah. Anyways, so if you hear
if you're at the diner and over hear someone saying
good soup at their bowl of soup, now you know
why because Girls is on the on the comeback trail.
Choopa is a new movie coming from Netflix that was
(05:01):
clearly I was et ever on Netflix. I don't remember
it being there, but this movie feels like it was
algorithmically generated by a machine that you know was fed
et and something else. Um, but like the man, Yeah,
(05:22):
they were like, okay, the two biggest hits of our childhood. Um,
it's there are shots that are like, not only is
the plot, but there are shots that are very reminiscent
of BET, Like the whole thing is heavily influenced by ET.
But the idea is a child meets a chupacabra and
instead of being horrifying creature of myth that sucks all
(05:47):
the blood out of the bodies of goats, which the
name chupacabra is goat sucker, like, instead of going in
that direction, they're like, what if adorable? You know? Which, sure, um,
there is unfortunately a controversy over the data though. Yeah
it's uh, it's because it's just called choopa, right, yeah,
(06:07):
just choopa. Well they say it, I mean they say
it in the in the trailer, like they decide to
call the choopa cabra, they adopt chupa, right, and one
of the other kids is like, you know that means sucker, right, right,
but I guess it also you know, people who speak
Spanish are like, well, it also means suck, as in
(06:28):
you know, he don't make me say it, right, sucker
like the Little Candy that. Yeah exactly, but I mean, yeah,
it's extra bad because it's a family movie, Like you
don't want to have any any sexual innuendo in the
title of a family movie, one would assume, yeah, where
(06:49):
you do you know who? Maybe Netflix's algorithm told them that. Yeah,
that's what they were. Like. The two things people want
that we can see in the algorithm is Christian slave
later and titles that mean blowjob. Right yeah up halfway
through he seems to be shown up a lot of
different places. It still looks like Christians later. So and
(07:10):
that was always the main thing I felt like he
had going for him. Looks like Christians later. But yeah,
the creature and this the Choo p Acabra is like
this adorable, fluffy winged uh teddy bear. Yeah basically, but
like the Choo p Acabra myth like I remember reading that,
Uh it was it was inspired by I guess, like
(07:31):
coyotes and also the movie, uh what was the movie species? Yeah,
and and people discovering mutilated livestock like that had been
disanguinated like for reasons that nobody has fully been able
to explain. But the like image you have of it
is is horrifying. Yes, something that can like suck just anything,
(07:55):
having all the blood sucked from its body rapidly, that's
scary to me. And call me a weirdo, but that
is something that scares me a little bit. That's that
was the nice thing about et. He didn't suck anyone's
blood at any point. He downed a few cans of beer,
you know, in the middle of the day, but he
wasn't we all drinking a Yeah, we knew he was.
(08:17):
He was telling Elliott, this is your ass if you
don't do exactly what I say. For some reason, this
story made me think of the article we did back
at Cracked, which was Insults from around the World. Ian
Cheeseman wrote that one, and one of the very first
one that we put at the top of the list
was chupe montequilla damikolo, which has sucked butter from my ass.
(08:41):
And I always thought, I've always been impressed by the
Spanish languages willingness to go there, because I've I've had
the thought of telling somebody to suck butter from my
ass before. But it was it was a scene in Girls,
I think, right, Yeah, that's right, that's the butter scene. Yeah.
That was another thing that Girls like kind of put
on the map for mainstream culture was ass eating Adam
(09:04):
Driver and ass eating and both showed up in Star
Wars soon after. Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll
come back and we'll talk about peeps. And we're back,
(09:27):
and peeps are going to be everywhere. I feel like that.
I started to notice this last year when there were
peeps flavored oreos. So you were saying that Canada doesn't
really have peeps as much as the US. I thought
we didn't, and then I looked it up and you
can get peeps, but I don't think there's the beam everywhere. Yeah, no, No,
(09:51):
it definitely feels like one of those foods that is
probably banned by nations with functioning health, like you know
regulators who look at what the content of food is
and is like this is marketed towards children and is
mostly radioactive dye and sugar in various forms. Um. But yeah,
(10:16):
there was like a Peep's flavored oreo that hit the
market last year, a couple of years back, twenty seventeen.
Got I'm old. But that always confused me because peeps
don't have a flavor that is in any noticeable way
different than like normal oreo filling, which is just sugar.
They are. Their flavor is if you take a teens
(10:38):
teaspoon of sugar, like raw sugar, put it in your mouth.
That's that's Peep's flavor. But I do love Peeps as
an icon like I like the Peeps crocs, um, I
like Pee, Like there's like Peep's artwork and stuff like that.
I think it's a cool iconic design, but anything where
(10:59):
it's Pee flavored feels misguided to me. Although they so
they do have flavored Peeps, which is like sour watermelon
flavored Peeps, and that sounds great to me. I never
tried it, but like that's what Peeps should have been
doing that all along, because they don't have anything other
than sugar flavoring at this point, but like to then
(11:21):
also have Peeps flavored other things, it's very strange. Then
they have the Peeps Pepsi right like you can get
peep well, so they have doctor Pepper flavored Peeps, good idea,
and then Peeps flavored Pepsi, which doesn't make any fucking
sense to me. Um, Peeps Mike and Ike flavored pop.
(11:42):
I don't know if that's the takeout casually using pop
instead of soda, but I think no, that must be
like a popsicle of some sort. But yeah, so like
that's gonna be My rule for the people all the
IVY League graduate to who or in the boardrooms making
these decisions. Peep flavored anything doesn't make sense. Adding flavor
(12:06):
to Peeps does make sense. And then you can do
anything with the shape of Peeps. Because the shape of
Peeps is great and iconic and fun. It should not
be fed to us. But I guess we're okay with that.
Nothing that bright yellow should ever be edible. I don't think.
But right, we've gotten over that and it's iconic. Yeah,
(12:27):
and you can take it intravenously, I assume. Yes, Peep's
Ivy Drip new this year. Yeah, I'm just looking through
this list. It's like, the things that are new in
twenty twenty three are the mic and Ike Pop, the
Doctor pepper flavored Peeps, Peeps kettle corn flavored marshmallow Chicks. Okay, fine,
(12:49):
but we're flavoring the marshmallow chicks. Great, these are all new,
all these flavors, So the three that I just mentioned
are new. And then they're bringing back the sour watermelon
but not the blue rasberry. So it's a bummer. It's
that sad day. And then there are sorry I'd missed
(13:10):
this part of the article the other edible licensed Peep
offerings this year, which demonstrate the breadth and depth of
this candy's influence in twenty twenty three. So yes, we
have Peep's flavored PEPSI bad idea, Peep's Cake, sure, I mean,
if it's just like a marshmallow cake, fine, Peeps cereal
bad idea, Peep's Way Protein that is a Peep's collab
(13:33):
with Vitamin Chop. For only thirty five dollars, you can
take a protein supplement that tastes like peeps um. And
then for health nuts right, for all that health nuts
out there. And then Peep's Bunny slides Katy Perry Collection's
(13:55):
funny slides like their shoes, I think, which I'm fine,
okay to Katy Perry collabo with Just Born. I'm here
for any Peep's design things. I think they have a
cool design right all right. Christina Ricci is trending because
she was on the View and spoke about working with
(14:21):
her younger co stars on Yellow Jackets and talked about
how they're more empowered to set boundaries for themselves in
a way that her generation was never allowed to and
specifically recounting recounted that she was once threatened with a
lawsuit for asking to do a sex scene in a
certain way, and so we think we know what this
(14:44):
is all about. But first of all, it's just a
good reminder that history is a nightmare. We're all waking
up from very recent history in some cases. But the
suspicion would be that this is her role in Buffalo
sixty six, the Vincent Gallo movie. Um, it's just a guess,
(15:07):
that's my my suspicion I'm saying that. Yeah, my suspicion,
tier is it's Vincent Gallo now. But you're not saying
that because you know, apparently he likes to go around
saying he's gonna sue people, oh does he? Oh well,
allegedly he's especially who filmed himself getting an actual blow
(15:29):
job on camera and Brown Bunny proudly even bragged about
it and made that like kind of the selling point
of the movie. And then and then got into a
huge fight with Roger Ebert, Yeah whatever, that this movie
is bad, and he was like he's like, I hope
your cancer gets worse, yeah, or something, which is cool.
(15:49):
And then he's like gone on to be just like
a real right wing piece of shit. But anyways, she
didn't like really go into details. But it's just I
don't know every detail about what was like to be
an actress in movies in the very recent like up
until now and even into the future. But like it
(16:09):
used to be so just wild, over the top, no protections,
no power on behalf of like these very famous women.
Christina Ricci was seventeen when she made Buffalo sixty six
and Vincent Gallo called her a raving lunatic and barred
(16:30):
her from bringing her mom to the shoot again when
she called him a raving lunatic, Oh okay, sorry, but
he yeah, he would, he wouldn't let her mom come
to the production and she was seventeen. Yeah sorry. He
called her an ungrateful sea word. Yeah, so my bad,
and also said she was basically a puppet. I told
her what to do and she did it, So my bad,
(16:53):
it's bad. Yeah. Yeah. Did you watch Yellow Jackets? Yeah?
Yellow Jackson is great. She's great, amazing and yellow Like truly,
I was like, why has she not been in everything
ever since? Like the last time that she was in everything,
you know, for a long time, And between that and Wednesday,
(17:15):
I think people are realizing yeah, yes, how great she is. Yeah,
so great to have Christina Ricchi back. Horrible to hear
about how she was treated for a long time. And
finally Meg White is trending because like this is a
controversy that happens a lot where people are like Meg
Wahite is a bad drummer from the White Stripes. I mean,
(17:35):
it's a controversy that happens a lot twenty years ago,
but it just like keeps cycling back. I remember like
five years ago that this was a controversy again where
people were like Meg White was actually a bad drummer,
and it's just like really it was like the point
of the music was its simplicity, and Jack White's music
has never been as good as it was when he
(17:56):
was collaborating with Meg White. But anyways, I don't know
people are pointing that out. Other people are standing up
for make White. This is like inside drummer talk or something,
you know, like people who are real into drum solos, like, yeah,
that's the thing. If we'll care about this, if you're
not a like a music critic, I don't even think
(18:18):
you know, anyone would notice or care. Yeah that there
weren't enough fills or right whatever. Yeah, yeah, that was
always the thing. They were like Ringo, Like there were
sometimes the like Paul McCartney needed to fill in for
Ringo Star on the drums because like he wasn't a
good drummer. And it's like, well, guys, maybe our definition
(18:38):
of what a good drummer is does not match up
to what makes music that people enjoy, because it seems
like they had a good thing going there for a
little while. Yeah, it's also about like, yeah, the chemistry
and like, yeah, how you perform and also yeah, no,
she she was a fine drummer. I don't I don't
(18:58):
get this. I do think like it's it also seems
like it's kind of blown out of proportion, Like it
seems like it was one guy tweeted something shitty and
it's just like now Jack White like wrote like a
poem to defend her and stuff, and it's like, I
don't know, I kind of need to drop out of
the story now that Jack White poems are surfacing. Yeah,
(19:20):
that's always a great and it's one of the five
things that tell us it's time to drop out of
a story on the day. Yeah, this is Jack White
poems up here. All right, well, those are some of
the things that are trending on this Thursday, March sixteenth.
We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of
the show jam. Where can people find you? Follow you
(19:41):
all that good stuff. You can find me on Twitter
at j m McNab Again. There you go. Um, all right,
until tomorrow, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bite s
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of never
Going to Friend you up, Never going to Dot you
down home. That's all I got this courtesy brducer Brian
uh and Rick Astley, my vocal coach. I am Jack
and I'm sure to be joined by our writer and researcher,
(00:20):
mister J. M mc nah good. Good better now that
I heard the Rick Astley. Yeah, pah man. You remember
when someone would just rick roll you and you would
just want to kill yourself? Uh man, just the shame,
(00:43):
the shame. I'm still recovering from the shame of being
rick rolled. Fucking whiplash man. Anyways, let's tell the people
some things that are trending, shall we? Shall we do that?
Let's do it. So there's a I don't know where
was this article, Hollywood Reporter. Maybe somebody's writing that millennials
(01:04):
are rewatching girls. I think it's the New York Times,
the New York Times. There is that real yeah, yeah,
that's funny. The New York Page. That's so that's so
perfect because the New York Times is like they've just
Lena Dunham is their reason for getting out of bed
(01:24):
in the morning and has been since they went to
a cocktail party at her friend's house or at her
parents house in their early nineties, and she like told
them funny jokes as a three year old, and um god,
there do you remember those articles like when Girls first
came out, and it was like all these articles were
(01:46):
like I used to go to cocktail parties at her parents'
house and she was such a delight she would sit
there and entertain us. So of course, like the second
that there is an upward trend in metrics of like
people watching Girls on HBO, they're like, we've got we've
got a front pager for you, maybe, but I don't know.
(02:08):
I do always like this is definitely a phenomenon that
we see where a show from the past that we
think we're like done with becomes very popular with people
who didn't watch it the first time around. And Girls is,
according to a spokesperson for HBO, viewership doubled between November
(02:28):
and January compared with the previous three months. And there's
just been a lot of TikTok chatter on Girls. And
there is the good Soup meme, which is Adam Driver
eating soup and then saying in a very Adam Driver
serious way, good soup. I think is how he says
(02:50):
it good soup and then gives the aok hand gesture
to his bowl of soup, which there's a lot of
you know, it was we met Adam Driver. I'm a
fan of his weird intensity and just very singular personality
on screen charisma. So I watched Girls Didn't always love it.
(03:13):
Definitely felt like a lot of the criticism was earned
with regards to it being a show made by people
whose parents paid their rent, who hadn't fully grappled with
the fact that they existed in a weird world where
their parents paid their rent that was different from the
(03:34):
rest of the world. But it was it was still
like worth watching. I would say, oh yeah, I mean
I do think, like to reading through this article, it's
not just people discovering it for the first time. It's
probably people that watched it and are kind of going
back and you know, sort of reinterrogating share their feelings
around it. Sure, which makes it and I feel like, yeah,
(03:57):
that happens every so often. Like I feel like Friends
came out on Netflix, people kind of did a similar
thing where they all went back and we're like, oh, well,
this doesn't hold up as well as you know it
did when I was fifteen or whatever. Sure, it makes
sense to do that. And I wonder if because because
it spiked last fall, Like I wonder if it was
(04:17):
just like when everything started disappearing off of HBO Max,
people were like, well, this is our last chance to
watch Girls before, right, some executive just takes it away forever. Yeah,
just put it in his private basement collection, right like Ursula.
He just takes all the HBO shows the rest of
us used to be able to watch and keeps them
(04:38):
in his little dungeon. Yeah. Anyways, so if you hear
if you're at the diner and over hear someone saying
good soup at their bowl of soup, now you know
why because Girls is on the on the comeback trail.
Choopa is a new movie coming from Netflix that was
(05:01):
clearly I was et ever on Netflix. I don't remember
it being there, but this movie feels like it was
algorithmically generated by a machine that you know was fed
et and something else. Um, but like the man, Yeah,
(05:22):
they were like, okay, the two biggest hits of our childhood. Um,
it's there are shots that are like, not only is
the plot, but there are shots that are very reminiscent
of BET, Like the whole thing is heavily influenced by ET.
But the idea is a child meets a chupacabra and
instead of being horrifying creature of myth that sucks all
(05:47):
the blood out of the bodies of goats, which the
name chupacabra is goat sucker, like, instead of going in
that direction, they're like, what if adorable? You know? Which, sure, um,
there is unfortunately a controversy over the data though. Yeah
it's uh, it's because it's just called choopa, right, yeah,
(06:07):
just choopa. Well they say it, I mean they say
it in the in the trailer, like they decide to
call the choopa cabra, they adopt chupa, right, and one
of the other kids is like, you know that means sucker, right, right,
but I guess it also you know, people who speak
Spanish are like, well, it also means suck, as in
(06:28):
you know, he don't make me say it, right, sucker
like the Little Candy that. Yeah exactly, but I mean, yeah,
it's extra bad because it's a family movie, Like you
don't want to have any any sexual innuendo in the
title of a family movie, one would assume, yeah, where
(06:49):
you do you know who? Maybe Netflix's algorithm told them that. Yeah,
that's what they were. Like. The two things people want
that we can see in the algorithm is Christian slave
later and titles that mean blowjob. Right yeah up halfway
through he seems to be shown up a lot of
different places. It still looks like Christians later. So and
(07:10):
that was always the main thing I felt like he
had going for him. Looks like Christians later. But yeah,
the creature and this the Choo p Acabra is like
this adorable, fluffy winged uh teddy bear. Yeah basically, but
like the Choo p Acabra myth like I remember reading that,
Uh it was it was inspired by I guess, like
(07:31):
coyotes and also the movie, uh what was the movie species? Yeah,
and and people discovering mutilated livestock like that had been
disanguinated like for reasons that nobody has fully been able
to explain. But the like image you have of it
is is horrifying. Yes, something that can like suck just anything,
(07:55):
having all the blood sucked from its body rapidly, that's
scary to me. And call me a weirdo, but that
is something that scares me a little bit. That's that
was the nice thing about et. He didn't suck anyone's
blood at any point. He downed a few cans of beer,
you know, in the middle of the day, but he
wasn't we all drinking a Yeah, we knew he was.
(08:17):
He was telling Elliott, this is your ass if you
don't do exactly what I say. For some reason, this
story made me think of the article we did back
at Cracked, which was Insults from around the World. Ian
Cheeseman wrote that one, and one of the very first
one that we put at the top of the list
was chupe montequilla damikolo, which has sucked butter from my ass.
(08:41):
And I always thought, I've always been impressed by the
Spanish languages willingness to go there, because I've I've had
the thought of telling somebody to suck butter from my
ass before. But it was it was a scene in Girls,
I think, right, Yeah, that's right, that's the butter scene. Yeah.
That was another thing that Girls like kind of put
on the map for mainstream culture was ass eating Adam
(09:04):
Driver and ass eating and both showed up in Star
Wars soon after. Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll
come back and we'll talk about peeps. And we're back,
(09:27):
and peeps are going to be everywhere. I feel like that.
I started to notice this last year when there were
peeps flavored oreos. So you were saying that Canada doesn't
really have peeps as much as the US. I thought
we didn't, and then I looked it up and you
can get peeps, but I don't think there's the beam everywhere. Yeah, no, No,
(09:51):
it definitely feels like one of those foods that is
probably banned by nations with functioning health, like you know
regulators who look at what the content of food is
and is like this is marketed towards children and is
mostly radioactive dye and sugar in various forms. Um. But yeah,
(10:16):
there was like a Peep's flavored oreo that hit the
market last year, a couple of years back, twenty seventeen.
Got I'm old. But that always confused me because peeps
don't have a flavor that is in any noticeable way
different than like normal oreo filling, which is just sugar.
They are. Their flavor is if you take a teens
(10:38):

That's that's Peep's flavor. But I do love Peeps as
an icon like I like the Peeps crocs, um, I
like Pee, Like there's like Peep's artwork and stuff like that.
I think it's a cool iconic design, but anything where
(10:59):

they have the Peeps Pepsi right like you can get

and then Peeps flavored Pepsi, which doesn't make any fucking

(11:42):
I don't know if that's the takeout casually using pop
instead of soda, but I think no, that must be
like a popsicle of some sort. But yeah, so like
that's gonna be My rule for the people all the
IVY League graduate to who or in the boardrooms making
these decisions. Peep flavored anything doesn't make sense. Adding flavor
(12:06):
to Peeps does make sense. And then you can do
anything with the shape of Peeps. Because the shape of
Peeps is great and iconic and fun. It should not
be fed to us. But I guess we're okay with that.
Nothing that bright yellow should ever be edible. I don't think.
But right, we've gotten over that and it's iconic. Yeah,
(12:27):
and you can take it intravenously, I assume. Yes, Peep's
Ivy Drip new this year. Yeah, I'm just looking through
this list. It's like, the things that are new in
twenty twenty three are the mic and Ike Pop, the
Doctor pepper flavored Peeps, Peeps kettle corn flavored marshmallow Chicks. Okay, fine,
(12:49):
but we're flavoring the marshmallow chicks. Great, these are all new,
all these flavors, So the three that I just mentioned
are new. And then they're bringing back the sour watermelon
but not the blue rasberry. So it's a bummer. It's
that sad day. And then there are sorry I'd missed
(13:10):
this part of the article the other edible licensed Peep
offerings this year, which demonstrate the breadth and depth of
this candy's influence in twenty twenty three. So yes, we
have Peep's flavored PEPSI bad idea, Peep's Cake, sure, I mean,
if it's just like a marshmallow cake, fine, Peeps cereal
bad idea, Peep's Way Protein that is a Peep's collab
(13:33):
with Vitamin Chop. For only thirty five dollars, you can
take a protein supplement that tastes like peeps um. And
then for health nuts right, for all that health nuts
out there. And then Peep's Bunny slides Katy Perry Collection's
(13:55):
funny slides like their shoes, I think, which I'm fine,
okay to Katy Perry collabo with Just Born. I'm here
for any Peep's design things. I think they have a
cool design right all right. Christina Ricci is trending because
she was on the View and spoke about working with
(14:21):
her younger co stars on Yellow Jackets and talked about
how they're more empowered to set boundaries for themselves in
a way that her generation was never allowed to and
specifically recounting recounted that she was once threatened with a
lawsuit for asking to do a sex scene in a
certain way, and so we think we know what this
(14:44):
is all about. But first of all, it's just a
good reminder that history is a nightmare. We're all waking
up from very recent history in some cases. But the
suspicion would be that this is her role in Buffalo
sixty six, the Vincent Gallo movie. Um, it's just a guess,
(15:07):
that's my my suspicion I'm saying that. Yeah, my suspicion,
tier is it's Vincent Gallo now. But you're not saying
that because you know, apparently he likes to go around
saying he's gonna sue people, oh does he? Oh well,
allegedly he's especially who filmed himself getting an actual blow
(15:29):
job on camera and Brown Bunny proudly even bragged about
it and made that like kind of the selling point
of the movie. And then and then got into a
huge fight with Roger Ebert, Yeah whatever, that this movie
is bad, and he was like he's like, I hope
your cancer gets worse, yeah, or something, which is cool.
(15:49):
And then he's like gone on to be just like
a real right wing piece of shit. But anyways, she
didn't like really go into details. But it's just I
don't know every detail about what was like to be
an actress in movies in the very recent like up
until now and even into the future. But like it
(16:09):
used to be so just wild, over the top, no protections,
no power on behalf of like these very famous women.
Christina Ricci was seventeen when she made Buffalo sixty six
and Vincent Gallo called her a raving lunatic and barred
(16:30):
her from bringing her mom to the shoot again when
she called him a raving lunatic, Oh okay, sorry, but
he yeah, he would, he wouldn't let her mom come
to the production and she was seventeen. Yeah sorry. He
called her an ungrateful sea word. Yeah, so my bad,
and also said she was basically a puppet. I told
her what to do and she did it, So my bad,
(16:53):
it's bad. Yeah. Yeah. Did you watch Yellow Jackets? Yeah?
Yellow Jackson is great. She's great, amazing and yellow Like truly,
I was like, why has she not been in everything
ever since? Like the last time that she was in everything,
you know, for a long time, And between that and Wednesday,
(17:15):
I think people are realizing yeah, yes, how great she is. Yeah,
so great to have Christina Ricchi back. Horrible to hear
about how she was treated for a long time. And
finally Meg White is trending because like this is a
controversy that happens a lot where people are like Meg
Wahite is a bad drummer from the White Stripes. I mean,
(17:35):
it's a controversy that happens a lot twenty years ago,
but it just like keeps cycling back. I remember like
five years ago that this was a controversy again where
people were like Meg White was actually a bad drummer,
and it's just like really it was like the point
of the music was its simplicity, and Jack White's music
has never been as good as it was when he
(17:56):
was collaborating with Meg White. But anyways, I don't know
people are pointing that out. Other people are standing up
for make White. This is like inside drummer talk or something,
you know, like people who are real into drum solos, like, yeah,
that's the thing. If we'll care about this, if you're
not a like a music critic, I don't even think
(18:18):
you know, anyone would notice or care. Yeah that there
weren't enough fills or right whatever. Yeah, yeah, that was
always the thing. They were like Ringo, Like there were
sometimes the like Paul McCartney needed to fill in for
Ringo Star on the drums because like he wasn't a
good drummer. And it's like, well, guys, maybe our definition
(18:38):
of what a good drummer is does not match up
to what makes music that people enjoy, because it seems
like they had a good thing going there for a
little while. Yeah, it's also about like, yeah, the chemistry
and like, yeah, how you perform and also yeah, no,
she she was a fine drummer. I don't I don't
(18:58):
get this. I do think like it's it also seems
like it's kind of blown out of proportion, Like it
seems like it was one guy tweeted something shitty and
it's just like now Jack White like wrote like a
poem to defend her and stuff, and it's like, I
don't know, I kind of need to drop out of
the story now that Jack White poems are surfacing. Yeah,
(19:20):
that's always a great and it's one of the five
things that tell us it's time to drop out of
a story on the day. Yeah, this is Jack White
poems up here. All right, well, those are some of
the things that are trending on this Thursday, March sixteenth.
