Speaker 1 (00:00):
Toss Popcorn is a production of iHeartRadio. Hi, I'm Sienna.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Jacole and I'm Leanna Holsten.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
And welcome to Tossed Popcorn, the podcast where two idiots
watched every film on the AFI's one hundred Greatest American
Movies of All Time, the very slightly less racist tenth
Anniversary edition, and are now watching movies directed by women.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, this podcast is a safe hospital for people who
don't know anything about movies. Today we're watching all we
Imagine as.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Light Meeting Germany, a.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Film that somebody recommended, so thank you to them. Warning
there will be spoilers about this dimly lit true recent film.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
True twenty four twenty four so recent. Yesterday I was
filling out a form. I said what year is it?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Is it twenty twenty five? And my friend said no
because she misheard me, and I completely believed her.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I was like, Okay, a lot recently people have been
asking my age. Well, not a lot, but whenever people
have asked my age, I've not been completely sure about it.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I think that's like a post pandemic thing in particular.
But yeah, yeah, in the if, in the aftermath of
a birthday as well. It's like, oh wait, what huh.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, geez geez want to do your predictions of this movie?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, yeah, I would like to. Sianna. Here is my
prediction for All We Imagine as Light. Good morning, Sienna.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Good morning girl.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm about to watch All We Imagine as Light. I
don't know anything about this except that it was submitted
over Lapata Ladies for Oscar consideration, so it's got pretty
big shoes.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
One woman is the same. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I feel like at some point there will be a
moment of like women supporting women, I hope, and maybe
some sort of dream sequence with the night sky. Okay,
love you, bye.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Okay, love that weight. Let's do mine? Okay, Haleyanna, this
is We Imagine as Light. It sounds it's gonna be sad.
I hope it's beautiful. I hope some women go to
a a dreamscape at some point. But I could also

(02:49):
see some women crying. Kay, all right, I love you.
I don't know what happened there. It's always interesting when
something interest thing happened to the voice notes, because I've
recorded about a trillion times. Yeah, yeah, Sometimes it's like
I'm closer to the mic than others.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's hard to eat. Hey hey, well, speaking of hey girl,
Hey girl.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Hey girl. My updates are that I have a trillion
bug bites on my legs, which I talked about at
some point. Yes, oh no, I'm telling you. I think
they're bad at my house, and I think that I
am especially susceptible to the bug bites these days. I
made it through all summer. I was like, there's no
bugs out, It's great. And then I've been working on

(03:41):
this project outside. I came inside. I the next day.
They're so they all blew up. They're huge, they blew up,
they blew up.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh my god, they blew up in a series of
of controlled explosions. They all blew up.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I had. I got three in the crease of my oh,
the universally agreed worst place. Three the worst place. They
are fighting dirty. Yeah, and it's so bad. And I
just I thought I made it through the summer. I
really thought I made it through the summer. It was
very devastating. And then I got my COVID VACS update yesterday.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Are we still doing those ship Oh I'm way behind.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh no, I think people just kind of get them
around flu season now. These days and sort of a
double women. I don't know how they do things over in.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, maybe big part of the problem. Yeah, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know so I got a sore arm and some
affected Okay, I can I be honest. I don't think
I really do. But sometimes I'll be like, I'm really
tired today because I got the COVID vaccine.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Okay, but I think that you if you did, yes,
because maybe upright with the shape.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
My sister got freaking got and I think I got
kind of got one time, but usually am okay, but
we'll see, we'll find out today you got me.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
It got me all three times because it was or
was it two times? Whatever the number of times is
that I've gotten something for it. It always got me,
like I had to take a day off work wow
the next day because I was.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Out of control. It gives you an boost of I
was out of control. I blew up. I blew up,

I blew up. By Hey girl, were you girl? Were

(05:48):
you sick?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I was ill yesterday. I'm a little ill still today.
And I have once again asked somebody out and they
are once again in the process of politely saying no.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh god, no, who is I' it's doesn't it doesn't
matter the same as it always is. It's just and
we'll cut that up.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
We'll bleep that, of course, but people will be able
to figure it out based off of my history, my
medical history. No me, just double check, double check. That's
there's still no reply. Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, nice nice. I love this season.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I love I love the word insanity. And to live
by the definition of it is, of course, doing the
same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Mm hmmm yeah, yeah, always the same type, the same exactly.
Their response is.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
The same, always the same. Sixty five minutes later, Oh
I'm just not available right now. Uh. You know that
guy who was all twisted up in a net in
the ocean in the film, Yes, yeah, yeah, I'd say
that's about it.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
That's how it feels. That's where we're at, twisted up
in a net.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
It feels like my whole core has been twisted up
in a net and thrown at the sea.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
And sat it back out. I'm beached. I'm beached, and
and you know what beach things do. They blow up,
They do, don't they. Yeah, that's crazy. Nature's crazy for that.

(07:47):
So I'm gonna blow up any second now.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
That's that's what's new with me. Rough and it's fresh too.
It's like within the past hour. Because I like to
also just make mistakes near times that are important to
my career.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
I'm gonna hop on mic.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, yeah, let me get this done before I hop
on Mike, so that i'd ass off my mind.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Mm hmm, oh, baby, they're not that Yes, I heard
that very much. What the heck?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I don't know. I hope it wasn't in my home
because it's just me here. It sounded like somebody dropped
a series of plates, but again, it's just me in here,
so I don't know. Sorry, that was just my heart
getting thrown at the sea and spat out. That was
just the sound of my body being beached really clanky.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe maybe we should go to the to the to
the phone notes because I only wrote a few of them.
But I did want to ask what your heart would
sound like, because she listened to her heart and maybe
it sounds like it sounds like.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
My heart sounds like a clown act of several plates
being dropped during a slapstick film, because that's what anybody
who I hand it to ward does with it.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
They're like, whoa, hey.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
What is that? Well? Yeah, I mean, is there anything
else you want to talk about? Me? Just get into it?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Uh uh nah? Whatever? Oh my god? All right, well,
well we're in a good space for this, ci I know.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Let's move on to phone notes, the section of the
podcast I'm gonna I'm gonna blow up where we read
the notes that the other person took on their phone
while watching the film.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Which we have to do after I do my synopsis.
Oh my god, I would love to do that, though
we can, my god.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
The other day at the gym, we were doing things
in partners in this class, and it was like, you're
supposed to do a plank and then another thing, and
I did the plank section and then they were like time,
and I got up and I ran across the room
to do the ropes, and everybody was looking at me, like,
what are you doing. You're supposed to be doing Russian twists? Now?
Do you know how embarrassing it is to be the

(10:26):
only one up earnestly doing the rope? The hardest thing
to do with my weak wrists. That is felt.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
To run full speed and start earnestly doing.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
The ropes so earnest All right, okay, God, today it's
just not my day. Sianna, could you please give us
the synopsis of the film?

Speaker 1 (10:52):
All we imagine I'll do my best, but a lot
of the vibe was dimly lit, thinking vibes, which I'm
thinking vibes, but I thought you might be. Yeah. In
terms of the plot, all we imagine as light. Two
friends who are nurses living together in Mumbai are experience

(11:15):
experience life. One. One is missing her estranged husband who
she was only briefly with after marrying and then he
went to Germany. And then one is having a forbidden
love affair with a Muslim man and that's that's kind

(11:41):
of the vibe. They're in the city and then at
one point they leave the city and things turn out
kind of sweet. Yeah, And there is a scene where
a man washes up I'm sure, and he ends up
he's like maybe a man with amnesia, and they play

(12:03):
out the uh praba praba?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Is that it praba?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah? Proba gets to play out talking to her a
strange husband. Because that's like sort of a through line.
MM hmmm yeah, mm hmmm. I had to look that
up to make sure that's what was happening, because I
was like, is.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
That a right? I've loved it over from Germany. Oh,
we have to get indoorable.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
All right, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
You already heard what this is. Come everyone to phone notes.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I only highlighted like four notes. They didn't seem good enough.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I'm seeing this. Oh no we uh yeah, okay, Well
I like your first one, which you didn't bold, but
I agree with Cianna. You wrote I want to eat
like a queen.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
One of the people. So it starts off kind of documentary,
and I went, wait, is this documentary? And it kind
of was, and she's interviewing people and someone said that
she's like she worked for this person who fed her
really well for like a year, and she was like,
oh yeah, I ate like a queen. And I was like,
like a queen, I want to eat like a queen. Yes?

(13:14):
After a day? Were you know of sun of going snowblind,
of going snowblind, yeah, yep, going snowblinde and eating like,
you know, a half handful of sunflower seeds.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
No, I knew it was going to be seeds.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Oh, God, it's all I got, going snowblinde. I did
text on yesterday that I was going snowblind because I
was working on an incredibly a flat white, flat white.
I was working on a delicious flat white, an extremely
white flat surface on this wall puppet that is painted

(13:52):

at a white screen? Are you okay?

Oh my gosh, let me read your phone notes. You said, Okay,

(16:40):
it is so hard to get a movie made. Please
say more.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Did you see the opening credits? Probably not, I can't
imagine you did. No. Yeah, the number of I don't
know what they were because I don't understand film production companies, studios,
partners what ever. That we're listed in getting this movie
made was so vast. Because it is so hard to

(17:07):
get a movie made.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
There are so many things that have to happen. God damn.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Why are there so many bad movies?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Seriously, it takes so much time.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
And if it's gonna be a really hard if it's
gonna be hard to do, why why do ones that
are racist?

Speaker 1 (17:20):
It's so true? Why take the time? Why take the time?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Why take the time?

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Why you asked?

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Her heart sounds like a piano, What does yours sound like?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well? We know mine a crashing of plates.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
I really hope the mic picked up that sound onto
a while, Seanna, what do you think your heart sounds like?
What's the sound equivalent of all my stuff being everywhere?
Because that's how I feel. Like your clown cars honk
like I do the clown honk.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
You can do it right, Oh the other one. But
it's that, it's like a bunch of those falling from
the sky at once. You know they're echoing.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Maybe mine is this, Maybe mine is whatever SoundBite is
playing through my head that month, which as we know
right now, is the little chirl talking about the little
girl talking about nine to eleven. Who goes, who goes?
You remember the plane crash and then he goes, she goes,
girl talking about it, she goes, she goes. I wasn't

(18:29):
born during that time, And that's playing through my head
the time this month. I wasn't born during that time.
Oh God, you put I don't put his depthoscope on
my heart in you're here. I wasn't born during that time.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
I want to talk about nine eleven.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I want to talk about bite eleven. Okay, you remember
the plane, Yeah, I got were not romantics? Yeah, it's
the piano versus I wasn't born during that time.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Oh, I love her and came on it from an
infomercial falling down.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
There's another one if we're talking about what she would
do if aliens came, and she was like, I would
be really nice to them if they showed me respect.
But then she's like, if they don't show me respect,
I'd get a bat. She I love her.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Oh my god, I would get a boat. Get a bat,
Get a bat.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, I wish somebody would get a bat for me.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
You can get a bat. Just smash my beached body. No, no,
that's okay.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
You'll be getting the Leanna. You said really relating to
all these sleepy people at dawn. Well, yeah, I watched it.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
I did, and I was hearkening back to the olden
days of our podcast, and I was like, yeah, I
really get this. They've captured that head heading into the
workday energy.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
I watched it very late, and by the end I
was I was dozing off. It's also it was sudden
was dozing off. It was in the nineties yesterday, and
I didn't know that I was. Here's what happened was
I went outside and was like doing all this work
and uh, going snowblind, as we know. And I was
so unhappy and I was just so like, I'm so

(20:25):
I don't feel good. And then later I went and
I looked at the temperature and said, is it the nineties? Well,
that's why I feel terrible. I've been going snow blind
in ninety five, snow blind in ninety five, Oh my god,
just being struck in.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
The summer of that's the new summer of sixty nine.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
I was snow blind blind ninety five. Leanna, you said,
do you think they had to put out a casting
notice for a pregnant cat? I don't know. Oh, they
probably did.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
That cat was pregnant. That was a clearly pregnant cat.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
They probably did.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
You gotta get that from somewhere. I don't just know
a pregnant cat, nor would I know how to find
one without specifically putting out a call.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
They probably do.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Do you know any pregnant cats?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, the same.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Glad about it. I kind of find cats really gross. WHOA, No,
I've never really talked about cats. I know, how do
you feel about such a?

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, I'm such a dog forward person and you're so
And then I have confounded who you who are are
founding regard.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
For them, but I do. I enjoy and approve of
them very much.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I think I think that's how I feel about cats.
I have to keep a distance because I'm allergic, so
I support them, but I unfortunately can't like laud them
via cuddles.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
I have been in a couple of places where this
there was like such a presence of cats.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh that's hard.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
I really am like, no, I don't I don't want
any part of this. I don't want any part of this.
I found there's this my the place where our studio is.
I don't know. I think they got a new cat.
And maybe it doesn't just I don't know what peas
in weird places, but the the like the what kind

(22:24):
of what's the closet with all the stuff in it?
Supply class supply closet. The supply closet now smells like
cat piss And I hate it so much that the
next time I saw the cat, I literally was like,
get out of here, go on, get And I was like,
oh my god, look what's happening to me? But okay,

(22:47):
I can't get down with if you already are like
a little put off by cats. A pregnant cat must
have been disturbing. I blew up. That cat was about
to blow up. Yeah, the four kids in her I
will say, the way that Anu was like petting that cat,
I was like, boy, it would be nice to connect
with an animal that way. It's very sweet. Yeah, yeah,

(23:12):
you don't really, Yeah, I will someday. I feel confident
that someday I will have a dog, and that is
how I will feel about my dog.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
But yeah, did you connect with Muddy in that way?

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I loved Muddy? Yeah? Yeah, I asked, I loved Muddy.
I loved Muddy. Okay, so no, I guess I wouldn't
like get in there and nuzzle her much. But I
took her on a lot of walks. We hung out
a lot. I hung out with the dog. It's so weird.

(23:48):
Oh man, I don't want to be weird, but I am.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Can I hang out with your dog?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Leanna? You said, uh, that's okay. I don't need to
see a placenta. Oh well, I've seen a placenta. That
was a surprise.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
When she's training the new nurses and she's like, okay,
and then a little bit, we'll go in here to
see a placenta, and I was like, oh, that's all right,
And then they were passing it around and I said,
but I did it didn't look anything like what I thought.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
It was not what I thought it would look like.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
I thought it was like a jellyfish too, And I
also always picture polenta. I thought it was sort of
a jellyfish gluten free. Probably, well, I guess it depends
on what they hate.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Uh. Yeah, I also expected more of a jellyfish, and
it was not like that at all. And that was
why I hated it. For some reason that I hated
looking at it. Yeah, but everything from a woman is beautiful.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, not a placenta, Siena. You noted the thin.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
The things one does for a man. No, no, no,
no no no. I wasn't supposed to be particularly relevant.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's my fault. I fucked it. It's it's hey, you
couldn't have known. I couldn't have known. None of us
could have known. This should have known.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
In this movie, she she buys a burka so that
she can go visit him in his neighborhood. Then as
she's on the train, he's like, actually, sorry you can't come. Sorry,
don't And she's like I'm on a train in a
burka right now that I just not.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
En route in and I took off my bindy as well.
Oh my god, I'm I'm in a fully other culture.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
What are you? And you're telling him to come in
a burry? Sorry? Oh my god, I'm like.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Damn really? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah, you said, the cat is me getting an ultrasound?

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Stop? Have you ever had an ultrasound?

Speaker 1 (26:21):
No? How was it?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
It was bothersome. I had one when I had a
ruptured cyst, and they were like, We're just gonna do
an ultrasound, which it turns out means pressing incredibly hard
on that alia. It's already in pain.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I always imagined it felt kind of like just to
just to just to rub gel and because they got
to really get in there. That makes sense probably if
something in you hasn't recently blown up. Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, it's less painful, but still very uncomfy. And that
cat was absolutely method acting in that moment. I hope
that cat's okay. Also, read my next note, you said,
are you.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Allowed to ULTRASI to cat in a human hospital? I
don't know. Can I tell you something? That cat is
gonna piss the one. People haven't talk about cats being clean,
but they are gonna piss. Let me tell you, I
just haven't had a good time with the one thing
I know about cat They literally just piss on stuff

(27:19):
and then the stuff smells smells bad, and then they
they scratch me, and I go, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Why are people all like, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
And I'm open to it. I'm sorry. I'm not trying
to hate. I'm but but I'm not trying to but
I do. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, Well, and soon it's one cat is gonna be
five cats, and they're all gonna piss because via that
human ultrasound they did on a cat, they learned it's pregnant.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
With five four cats, there's more common and they can't
wait to piss.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Were you recently beached? Hey, mama, it's gonna be okay, Mama, Mom, MoMA,
it's gonna be all right. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Uh okay, Yes, let's let's talk about it. Liatta, let's
talk about it. You said, okay, you said, maybe it's
her husband washed up from Germany. I think they did
an amazing job at something going on here, because when
this man was beached in a net.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
She I know the feeling, She continued, She it's like
looking in a mirror.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Got over there, and when she was leaning down to
do CPR, I was like, she's being hesitant in a
way that makes me think, is this her husband?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
But and were you making a joke about that? I
was kidding, Yeah, but for some reason I was like, Lol,
they'd already done a good job of placing that over
from Germany. She placed it in our minds so that
when this man arrived, we were like, hello, what if
it's her husband? And then they're talking and we're like wait.
It was like going on here, Leonna, you said, wait,

(29:13):
is that her husband? I was kidding. I was kidding
I And this was exactly.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
The point which I was also kind of nodding off. Ye,
So I was catching glimpses of people again dimly lit
as well. And then I woke up and she was
talking to her husband, and I was like, hold on,
has this guy been her husband the whole time?

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Hold on, hold on and no. And I don't know
if you missed the moment where she said, he said,
am I your husband? And she said no.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I definitely saw that. But then she goes to the
window and She's like, you've changed so much.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I was like, wait, but then it was, oh, I
need to watch it again to really I can't tell
you something. I need to really look at people's faces.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
I literally watched it again this morning because I was
dozing off so much last night. I was like, I
have to make sure I didn't miss anything major in that. Yeah,
and it was ea eactly as we just said. She
was playing it out with a yeah, with a confused man,
which is imagining. Okay, that was a little bit confusing,
all right. I think it's supposed to be sort of
like open to interpretation or just like experiencing it, you know,

(30:17):
like maybe you don't know who exactly who it is.
We can't know, you know, Leanna, you said as your
final note the night Sky.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I couldn't believe it ended with kind of a dreamy
a dream skate.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, as we know did. It kind of was as
we predicted, and then it was sort of a dreamy
thing her talking to this man also, and yeah, yeah
that was.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
What did you think of this movie overall?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Hmmm? I think I really enjoyed the main actresses, and
so I was along for the ride. As we know,
I like a slow paced, chill film. Yeah, where the
maybe the plot is unclear, especially if it's if it's
if it's women. I didn't I didn't get I think

(31:08):
it was a lot about the city, And yeah, I
was trying to like put myself in the headspace of
absorbing that because sometimes I feel like I I've like
lived only in cities such that I actually can't see
when we're like and not to things specifically about Mumbai,
but and the city is like very clearly different than
the ones that I've lived in, but I can't really

(31:30):
tell what we're talking about because I've like a fish
in water, you know what I mean when it comes
to like taking apart city life. So yeah, I don't know,
but I thought it was interesting. I liked that they
only had realizations once they like had left the city
because a lot of my friends that I've been talking
about leaving la maybe because it was a hot summer,
but everyone's always talking about leaving LA I was gonna

(31:52):
ask if it's like that in London, is it kind
of like, uh, the city I need to get away
a lot of times, I.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Think, so, Yeah, Yeah, I guess it's definitely or like
once you do go away, You're like, oh, it was
nice to not be in the city. Yeah, yep for
a bit.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
But I don't know I liked it. I did like it,
What about you?

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I don't think I liked it very much. Okay, I
think it wasn't really for me. I don't think it
was bad. I think they did a really good job
at what they set out to do. I think I
just didn't really like what they did very much, which
again is like, that's not to say it was badly done.
It's just not my style. Like it was very slow paced,

(32:32):
very like a slice of reality, and I'm like, where's
the whimsy? Where is the intrigue?

Speaker 1 (32:37):
I was one hundred comparat Lata Ladies, Well for the
same that was Intrigue City. That was that was.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Because that was what This is what they chose over
Lapata Ladies to submit for Best Film, Best for a Film.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
And I was like, which, I liked this. I really
did enjoy this. Yeah, but of course this was gonna
win because it's a film.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
It's so serious.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, it's a film school film.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, and there's the pot de Ladies is fun and uh,
it's so fun in comedy.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's silly, and it's very it's got it's it's got
a twist, it's got gimmicks.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
It's so fun. Yeah, it's so colorful, it's so light.
This was very dark.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's very cood to seek. I liked it is because
also I could very much feel a woman's touch in
terms of a movie that has documentary elements. But yeah,
and it was mainly a narrative, so it wasn't super documentary.
But I've seen a couple of movies that are like
they're like, we walk the line between documentary and and narrative,

(33:46):
and I freaking hate that because I'm so confused and
it often feels like you're like sort of exploiting the
people a little bit. Hm, Like I watched that movie Gummo,
oh yeah, at a weird time in life. It's like
maybe about Appalasia. It's one of the many movies that
someone made about Appalaysia. I'm sorry, film people love that

(34:07):
and I'm interested in that. I'm definitely interested in like
Appalachian culture. So that's I watched it. But it was
like part documentary and then part like like they obviously
are telling people to go do this stuff, and so
I'm like, what is this? What is this? It's hey,
what is this? It's not it's not for me to

(34:28):
understand and appreciate because I'm like, but you're making people
go do stuff, That's what it feels like. I'm like,
you're making these people from this actual town do stuff
for the story. M I don't know. And then of
course there's always like weird, uncomfortable stuff in it that
I'm like, what, Like, we're pushing the envelope and I'm like,
don't stop. Keep the envelope, just keep respectful like an envelope. Yeah,

(34:51):
send a letter, a envelope, send a damn letter, end
a goddamn call, pushing it, put it in the But
this I found to be nice and like I could
just nothing like creepy happened true, you know what I mean,
except for the true Bowl of Placenta. So I did

(35:13):
like it. But I understand what you mean out of
the kind of things you want to get out of
a movie, and we already know that about you.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
So it's just not for me. We didn't know that
we could have predicted. Well, let's get into our badges
and tradges, ah where we all board badges for burkas
en route and trages.

That is the breast experience.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
The breast, the breast experience. My final badge is for
a woman directed sex scene, which we may just agreed about,
but I just I'm like, things you're highlighting? Are I am?
I am appreciating, I'm interested in it. It's a it's
a it's like deconstructing sensuality. Yeah. I tried it. I

(38:33):
tried saying that, sure, yeah, whatever that is. It was
just it was. It was. It was like a sensual
array that was kind of like respectful and and sweet.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
A respectful sense, sensual, sensual bouquet, sensual tapas, hip bones

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Pelvis and back of head, things like that, things that
women just tend to find sexy.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I love the back of their head.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Trage is oh, I'll have to think about it because
I didn't write any down.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Okay, you can go first, maybe, Okay, I have a trag.
I wrote a poem, trag.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Poetry.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
I wrote a poem.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
I don't it's not no, no, that makes sense that
you didn't like this movie because this movie was That's
what it was.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
It was very poetic.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Was a poem true.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
I'm like, just say what you mean? I don't understand
what are you talking about? Even that book of poems
I bought from World War One, mostly I liked it
because all of them are like, oh my god, it's
so bad out here, and I was like nice, nice,
Oh my god. But sometimes I was like scared.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Why no, I'm being them in World War One. Oh
that's what I imagine. Their poetry is like, ah, can you
keep doing your trages? And I'll tell you when I
think of one.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yes, my next trage is a trage for Speculum. That
is a meta trag that is a real life trag.
The Speculum is horrible, will update it immediately? Stop torturing
people with uteruses? Oh trag for I will admit I
am bored. It happens. I said that a couple of times.

(40:15):
I said that at about the midway point and at
about the end. Yeah, oh is it okay? I'm I
have a tredge for.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
At one point, when they're staying with Parvity, they h
sleep on the floor, and I'm like, I know that
has to happen. It seems to happen in some other
cultures at times. I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to do that.
The floor, no mat, floor, no blanket. It must have
been hot, so they blanket. But I'm like a cushion
at all at all.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
I know, I agree. I was thinking about everybody's bones constantly,
and not in a sexy way, but everybody's joints, and
not like the director filming the sex scene trag for Okay,
I feel like the powers that be picked this movie
over Lapata Ladies for Oscar nomination Oscar consideration because it

(41:12):
had boob in it.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Hm hmm. Boob is what makes the it's what it's
what makes uh a film prestige.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
A film art.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
It was very much like it was in a very
non sexual context. But I get what you mean about
it very responsibly directed bub It was just like it
was like you said, it was her, you know, just
getting comfy at home, but.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Yeah, and showing how like Prava is not comfortable with nudity,
it's more uptight about that kind of thing, right, Sure,
I totally got it. I didn't think it was necessarily
unnecessary boob, right, but it was still bob.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
I get what you mean about the kind of movie
categories we put it into though, because it's like, well,
they were brave enough to show new It's like, why
does that be brave to be like appreciated? What does
it be quote unquote brave in that way to be
like commended by the the the Yeah, what are they

(42:13):
called the academy? Yeah, it's a good point. It's like
what about the fun one where it was just like, hey, goofy,
what does it mean to be a woman? Yes, boob
always wins.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
I have a trage for I am missing a intrigue
and be silliness again. I was just thinking about Lapata
ladies the whole time and how it was like, ooh, mystery,
what's she up to? What's she doing? What's gonna happen?

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Where are they?

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Ooh? A trage for men do not communicate things on time.
She's en route in Burca and then he's like, oh,
don't come, Actually don't come. Have you left already? Actually
don't come?

Speaker 1 (42:54):
That was terrible.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
That pissed me off. Hours before that the wedding had
been canceled.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I was actually genuinely surprised. But I love that she
really likes him and like that they're having a really
cute relationship and like wanna bone but when they like
profess deep love for each other, was like, girl, really
like I love this for you and it's really cute
for you to like have a sexy, fun dating time,
and I guess, like, why else would It's fine to

(43:23):
feel like you feel that way, but like he's kind
of dumb, Like he he invited you over and you
were like on your way, and that would be really annoying.
It would be like, can't you I wish you'd thought ahead.
I wish you thought ahead. You're always putting me in
these positions when I'm in a burka en route. He's
kind of just a boy.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
He's just a dude. But uh, trag for a crab.
I really don't fuck with crab.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
I almost gave a badge for that crab. Whoa because
that crab was so shiny. I was like, you better work.
It's like you are killing a crab. You are you are,
like you were like the epitome of a crab right now.
That wasn't some dry that was a bulbous, shiny crab.
And I was like, I feel like in the crab kingdom,

(44:07):
in the crab world, you are the bell of the ball.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
I'm very afraid of those really giant crabs that kind
of look like spiders. They might even be called spider crabs.
Yes they are, And unfortunately to me, all crabs remind
me of spider crabs, and I don't like it. I
really don't like it.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
That's fair. They are they are monsters that you're just
that you just talked about as a monster.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
That is a monster of the deep.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
And my final trage monster of the deep, my fine,
which I would know because I've been beached. Fine, I
saw it before I got beached. My final trage is
a trage for his nails are so dirty?

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Who's Oh god, what was this? I tried to rack
my memory. She ases nails, she ases nails.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Oh god, I on whose love. When they're exploring the cave,
they you like a little close above them, holding hands,
and I was like, no, sir, those fingers are about
to be I know where you gotta clean under those nails.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
They're gonna be somewhere. I'm not gonna say, but I know.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
You're gonna You're about to be spelunking, if you will,
little cave terminology. We're in a cave.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yes, I your fingernails. The turn off of all time
is bad unkept, unmanicured hands and feet. Bad nails are
very They're very terrifying to me. It's like a it's
like the way that I get scared of, like not
well maintained toilets. I'm like, it's it's the haunted nature

(45:41):
of of human beings, like not not taking care of
other people's needs hygienically like that just like freaks me out,
like you don't care, like just clip those nails. Oh
my god, please, it's scary.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Yes, and that's my last tragedy.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Well, Leanna show them. Move on to our next segment,
which is, of course, how to pretend you've seen this film. Yeah,
this is when you are taking a vacation by the sea. Oh,
you're having a good time. You're moving your friend in
and you're sitting chilling out at the local cafe out
by the beach, just enjoying the enjoying the breeze, and.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Husband who lives in Germany.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Husband comes up to you and he says, hey, remember me,
And you go, I don't think I do. He's like,
I just washed up. I just washed up. We were married,
And you go, I don't. Is this some sort of poem?
What's going on? And he goes, you know what? Seeing
you out here out in the in the by the beach,

(46:46):
it reminds me of a movie that I did not get,
but I heard a lot of people talk about on
the film festival circuit, and I'm going to explain it
to you for a very long time right now.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
And in order to float husband back to Germany via
the sea, We're gonna give you a few sentences you
can say to pretend you've seen the film All We
Imagine as Light. Oh, yes, Husband, I've seen All We
Imagine as Light. Unfortunately you can't talk to us right

(47:19):
now because we're actually sitting in a lady's only train car.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
I love that. I love that, yes, husband, which I
don't think you are, by the way, but I can't
remember I have seen the film All We Imagine is light,
All We Imagine as Light. This is the first Indian
film to screen at in competition at Conn Film Festival

(47:44):
in thirty years and the first film to receive the
prestigious Grand Prix at the Conn Film Festival Work, the
first Indian film, Yes, Tho, the first film. It is
the first movie to ever win anything, the first Indian film. Yes.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
I wish that were true. We wouldn't have had to
do a podcast that was true. This is the first
movie to ever be known about movies yes, husband, I've
seen all We Imagine as light. Please stop reciting your
poetry at me. It is not good and also not
a fit for the medical journal that you said it's

(48:25):
gonna be published in.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Hm. Oh yeah, yes, husband, I have seen All We
Imagine as Light. The title contains multiple layers of meaning,
including representing the hopes and possibilities for alternate paths in life,
particularly for women navigating restrictive societal norms in India. Hmm. Oh.

(48:52):
It also as a reference to the word light, which
I guess praba means light in the language they were speaking,
which is Malaya.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Oh that's cool.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Yeah, that's cute. All we imagine is me. All we
imagine as me.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
You know, all we imagine as al Yes, husband, I've
seen all We Imagine as Light. There is a line
in it that is true for both you and for me,
and why we are probably can't be married anymore, oh no,
which is when people go abroad they can lose their
minds or their memory, and I don't remember you. Therefore

(49:35):
we are not married. You'll go back to the sea.
You go back to the sea.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
You beach, you beach, beach. Yes, husband, I have seen
the movie all we imagine as liked the film, has
it one hundred per rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I guess
a number of films do. Huh Rotten Tomatoes is weird?
It really is. Yeah, why do things have one hundred?

(50:03):
It's like they should have like ninety nine point eight
or yeah, very specific whatevers, but right, right, whatever, Well, Leannashill,
we move on to our next segment, yes, which, of course.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Yes, where we tell you if we think you should
watch this movie or if you should do something else
with your trip to the beach Seata. What would you say?

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Well, I might say something similar to what you say,
which is that ooh. I'd say, well, I liked it.
I did like it. And if you want to know
what all the hype is about from this movie, for me,
it was a comfy watch where you could like sit
back and relax. It is it might lull you to
sleep in a good way a little bit. It's dreamy,

(50:45):
but I liked it. I think you can watch this movie.
But also if you want to watch The PoTA Ladies,
because we really loved that one. It depends on what
kind of vibe you're in, if you're in the mood
for something where you because sometimes I am. I mean,
I did watch Gummo one time. I chose to watch it.
I'm like, I want to kind of do something. I
want to like experience another culture, and I want to
kind of like experience a little bit of like a

(51:06):
slice of life sort of thing. I think this is
a good one actually, So I do recommend that sometimes
you want that, and often they're weird, So this one's
worth while. Yeah, I left it going that was nice,
So that would be my thoughts. What about you as.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Someone who does not want a slice of life because
life keeps slicing me, I would say, and I just
want to escape, please, I would say, you could watch
Lapata Ladies instead, as another film from the same year
that was also eligible for the same category. It's so
fun and silly and sweet and warm. This one felt

(51:47):
very cold to me. It wasn't necessarily it just felt
that way to me.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Yeah, it's definitely. It's definitely different, very different, definitely different. Seanna,
what would you rate the film? All we imagine as light. Gosh,
I'm gonna give this movie four rice cookers out of five.
I had a good time. Yeah, but I also for

(52:13):
German rice cookers four German rice soccers out of five.
But uh, I wasn't necessary like, I'm not necessarily like,
oh my god, you have to watch it, you know
what I mean? Yeah, but I did have a good time.
So what would you rate it, Leanna?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
I would say three pregnant cats out of five. It's
just not my style. I don't think it was bad.
It's just not for me. But I think they did again.
I think they achieved what they were aiming for, which is.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Hard to do, and they did it well make a movie.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Oh my god, it's impossible. Well, there you go, everybody

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
