Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, I'm Leanna Holsten, I'm Sianna Jacole, and welcome back
to Toss 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 films directed by went In.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yes, I forgot I have to talk next. I was like,

just can't wait to talk about. I don't okay, what
do we do now?

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Predictions?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm sorry, it's been so long. I've been all across
all over the world, of Western I've seen so many
things that's really changed me and.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh my god, well can't talk about that yet. Sienna,

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Hi, Leanna, this is Sienna, welcome back, thank you of us.
I'm about to watch good Luck Leo Grand Leo Grande.
I don't know what this is about, but I did
while looking it up see that it's uh, it is
Emma Thompson and then the guy from the young Guy

(02:27):
from Bad Sisters are together in a movie and they're
sitting in front of a bed. So I wonder if
it's gonna be like a what do they call it?
A winter, a winter spring relationship?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I didn't know what it was winter winter, two seasons
right after each other.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
So anyway, I'll be interested in how that is. I
love you, goodbye.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Great Well, here's my prediction. What so I'm April in
your March. That's fine. I don't get it. I don't
understand it's regular. Okay, ready mm hmmm, hello Sienna, Leanna

(03:21):
remember me. Yes, I'm about good luck to you, Leo
grand Grand. I don't know anything about this besides Emma
Thompson and a little young hobby are in it, and
I assume they bang and good for her. Yeah, it
must be nice. Jealous, I predict. Oh, I hope I

(03:45):
have a fun time. Love you bye. I.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I guess I'm not talking about it yet. We have
to wait.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Mm hmm, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I just want to know your general vibe, your general
vibe before we get into it in a bit.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
My general vibe is I have a lot of appreciation
and time for this film, and I think I'm severely
sexually repressed, and you.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I definitely I was waiting for it to become less
lame at certain times. There's a lot of things I
really liked for what they were going for, But when
it got to the very end and then they were
having a really fun time like doing it, I was like,
this is what I thought we were going to be
doing more of the time. So so anyway, I just

(04:52):
wanted her to be I wanted her to be getting down.
That's kind of the whole point is that she's talking
about it for a long time, which I also think
is great, like the we'll talk about all the conversation
and stuff I thought were very real, very lovely there
were certain things that went kind of came back around
to being not appropriate.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Anyway, all right, all right, general vibes, okay.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Uh huh, much to discuss my firsty girl, Hey girl,
welcome back.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Thanks, welcome back from your grande tour by grande tour
across the real grande.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Ooh, oh my god god. And we haven't really spoken.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
No, I've spoken.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
We've handled a few tax things. Oh my god. You
had coffee with my parents.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I had.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
You were in my parents'.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Home with your parents and they're listening right now. Hello,
Hello to JB and Ann. Thank you so much again
for hosting me. Your father picked me up and brought
me back home. It was okay. You've been in my
dad's car. I've been in your dad's car. I've been
in that Ford vehicle. I guess not your childhood home
because you know they're later.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
But I've been all around.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
I've seen all the art.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh yeah, what were your takeaways?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
First impressions, last impressions.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Let's hear see.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Some of the color scheme really was very Leanna, and
I thought that was so cute. There was like a
boy's edge mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
That was nice. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Really that cool kinetic art piece in the bathroom that
was like a little wooden Oh yeah, did you like
that guy going like, eh, I loved it. I loved
that guy.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Great.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
There was some gorgeous art. There was the the the
these western landscapes with these little foxes downstairs.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh yeah, loved I think might even be a coyote.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Coyote makes more sense, coyote.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh how fun.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I had a delightful time.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
There is a lot of art.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, you're right, you guys have a lot of art. Yeah, geez,
it was amazing. It was everything I dreamed.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh my god, that's so how fun. Cianna was passing
through Denver, Colorado on tour and she went to my parents' house. Yeah,
I love that.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
It was awesome.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Can I get something? We need hours to really digest
the tour. But are there any like big bullet points,
big highlights? Well, we talked, so everybody survived.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
We survived. To be honest, that like surviving health wise,
being in the car spending that much time together actually
went fine. We were in the.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Car for so long that we tried to learn telepathy. Okay,
and weirdly like that's the first I've heard of that happening.
That's not like a like, you know, if a human's
in a car for a long time. I don't know
that everybody jumps straight to well time to learn. It's
been enough hours.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I can probably podcast going around about kids who are
like literally telepathic, and we just had all these hours
to listen to and then we were just sitting in
the car, so we were trying to do telepathy on ourselves.
But honestly, it was it was a fun way to
spend our time. It was very goofy, and I feel
that I'm leaving the tour much more spiritual, really get ready.

(08:16):
Oh yeah, well yeah, I just had time. Desert will
do that to you as well. So it was really
nice to be in other places. And it was the
context of what I was doing, Like it was very clear,
very structured, and we had a very obvious stuff to
do every day. So I was just focused on the
show we're going to put on. But uh, there's like

(08:38):
the urgency. The feeling of urgency in Los Angeles is unparalleled.
I didn't experience it anywhere else. I'm not saying they
don't have their own stuff other places, but they like
must make my things happen now, must figure out what
they are, must sell myself, must tell everybody. It just
wasn't the same vibe. People were just coming to our
shows to have a good time.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yes, oh hell nice.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah. And on the very first day that I went
to these I was at one of these shows because
we played there was like three musicians before us, and
then we performed with a musician during his entire show.
I realized that I had, in order to survive for
this month, I had to become extremely zen at live
music events because normally I'm just waiting till I can

(09:20):
go home.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yes, yes, I understand, but I think.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
This is what I mean about being spiritual is I
learned that I am more powerful than I think. I
can sit there for longer than I think I can
survive sitting in a car for more than I think,
like a more elastic Wow. I give myself credit for
so oh my gosh, Yeah, it was actually a really
good experience to have at this moment of my life.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Gosh, how very revelatory. Yeah, well I get that anyway.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
So those are some takeaways. Thank you very much for listening.
We're gonna have to break war down, but to be honest,
survived better than you would think. The survival.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm so glad to hear it.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, I used to being squeezed into small spaces and stuff.
Just yea, a tall middle child.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh that's just pictured that as the cover of a
children's book. Just now, that's a tall little child.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
The tall middle child.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
And you're always on a road trip in the back
of like a subaru, a mid sized sedan of some sort.
Hey girl, hey girl, Okay, this girl got her visa.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, that girl crazy.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I got my visa this week. We signed a two
year lease on our of our We renewed our our
lease on our flat for two more years.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Right because Eliza also got it right.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yes, my flatmate got there visa and thank god it's
We feel such relief. And I've been experiencing joy over
the past like three.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Weeks, which is very odd.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Feels anachronistic in these times and selfish and also necessary.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
It's confusing, and also you got to take the winds
where you get them. It's also British summertime.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
We did daylight saving this past weekend, so the sun
is out, the.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Sun isn't here.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh my goodness, it's crazy. There's something very like ft
about living in a place that has really dark gray winters. Yeah,
there's something really eft about how much I like that
because of the stark relief that it throws the spring
and summer into when they finally happen.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I get it. I was thinking the other day about
how much my life revolves around relief. I love the
feeling of relief.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Hey, speaking of can I check in about how the
fiber coordination went on the tour?

Speaker 1 (11:48):
When I saw my dad, he was like, your listeners
want to know where you stopped up? Yeah, and the
coordination was successful. Yes, I had no issues, which, honest,
my god, I can't.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I really set my mind to it. I got in
that car the very first day and I was like,
I just can't let myself become miserable.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
But yeah, I'm just like, well, and oh, right now, currently,
what's happening? Currently? Right now? I finally allowed myself to
order hair products online. Wow, instead of making myself go
to a specific store that would have this specific product

(12:29):
because in my head, I'm like, well it's more carbon whatever,
take the bus somewhere whatever, and it's a less wasteful packaging.
Something I ordered this Thursday night. There was a promo
code on the website that gave you free delivery, so
I picked one day delivery. It arrived this afternoon and
it's in my hair now, and I was like, huh,

(12:52):
that really was beneficial. My life has benefited from that greatly,
And that's that's interesting going. These are the products that
I used to use in La. So I'm having a
lot of olfactory memory because my hair smells now like
it did when I lived in La. Wow, Like I
was ready for us to do a walk around the

(13:12):
block in West Hollywood to warm up for the pot.
You know, I might re enter a slut era, which
I wasn't in in La but I was hoping to
be at a time when you smelled that you thought
I'm about to be a slut Yes, genuinely, yes. So
let's see.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Let's see that mixed with this movie.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Mm hmmm. Honestly, I think the two in combo in
concert with one another, putting them in a dialogue with
one another. The film and my hair product. It's going
to launch you, Oh my god. Okay, let's get into it.
Let's launch into Sienna. Could you please give us a
synopsis of good luck to you, Leo Grand Grand.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yes, good luck to you, Leo Grant. Emma Thompson hires
a sex worker to learn what more life has to
offer sexually. She ends up learning a lot more than
that the end.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, okay, the movie takes place pretty much just in
a hotel room.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Almost the whole time. The only two characters are these
guys until sort of the last scene. We don't see
we're talking to anyone else about anything. They're just having conversations,
some of which are really interesting and some of which
I'd say they toggle between interesting and important and preachy
and a.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Kind of lame.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
That's what.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Okay, hmm, it's a very gorgeous Irish man in your
bed right now.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
You've got three minutes to enjoy that. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
But okay, let's take Emma Thompson. They could put her
in anything. Oh, let's do our phone, let's do well, everybody,
let's talk about the movie.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
If you may remember our podcast Toss Popcorn from Notes,
this is where we talk about the notes we took
on our phones while watching the film.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
MMMM, and the film that Sienna in your voice recording
you called good.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Luckily, Luckily, O good luck and I love. On a
great note, you've said, I'm sorry, but a man humming
is unsettling.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
The film opens in darkness with a man humming quietly
to himself, and I said, oh, a serial killer. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, yeah,
that's I don't Why are you humming? It did not
come up again as a man.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Why are you humming what you have to hum about
as a man? Why would you be humming?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah? I have a big thing about that with as
a man. Why are you five foot nine? We can't
be the same height, be something else, be.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Any other height. I of course disagree, but I can't
say don't I disagree with that, but of course disagree.
I think five eight is the perfect height for man
I want. And I'm happy for you that that's how
you feel. There are parts of this movie where I
was just I was. I found myself being disappointed at

(16:29):
certain things, which I'll comment on your next note. Actually
that you've said this walked so baby girl could run,
and I just I was waiting for this movie to
be more daring. I know that's not what it was,
but just even a little bit, just a little bit
more like you know, they don't they show her naked
at the very last second, and if it's like as
if it's like a big prize that we all want,
when I'm like, just show her naked, like, just let

(16:50):
her be naked.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
But I get this, it's interesting. I get this is Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
But I will say I loved how Emma Thompson played
everything because though I think if this had been the
script had been given to somebody else, it might have
been quite flat. She she is just such a good actress.
I really also like her being scared and nervous and
all the things like that was all very real and
very like. Yeah, she she portrays those like human The

(17:20):
stress of wanting to do something but not wanting to
was like the whole thing. So I did love that.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, yeah, I see Ia. You noted. Oh they're sitting
and talking.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I guess this is gonna be the movie.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Did you think it was just gonna be like a
two hour fuck fest? Was that what you were thinking?

Speaker 1 (17:41):
I guess I thought it would be. I didn't think much.
I thought there would be okay, certain scenes I could
have imagined in this, and I don't want, like, this
is what it was, so I'm not saying it should
have done this instead. I just when I was expecting
it would be more of like, you know, she experiences
something tastefully, we don't have to see it, but then
it's her with her girlfriends being like, have you ever
been eating out before? You wanted it to be sex

(18:03):
In the city, She and her three other friends are
sitting at brunch, their normal brunch spot where they meet
up every episode. They say, have you ever been eaten
up before? And they all discuss it. One of them
is roprude about it, yeah, the other does it all
the time.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
That's what I wanted. And the fourth one's a lesbian.
Yeah right.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I literally think that is kind of what I was imagining.
But I just I guess I'm a little bit. I
really love what's happening culturally about us, like showing older
women and talking about what it's like to age and
still he experienced sexuality, Like how do we show that?
But like showing it in movies and just the way

(18:49):
like society treats you, blah blah blah, all this stuff.
I'm glad that we're we're uh, we are reckoning with
it now in movies. Yeah, but I just was like,
it's Emma Thompson. Let her be brave, let her just
boldly bone, let us see all the like nudity we
see with older women too. Are that I've been and

(19:09):
I need to, I haven't. I don't watch I don't
watch that many nude movies, so maybe I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
But you know the genre nude movie, they're like they
only ever showed them where they like look as young
as possible and stuff. Yeah, I mean when it's like
Nicole Kidman yeaheah, it's like, okay.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Great, we've made sure to bring a person who, like
their entire career, they have to look as young as possible.
So since she like just looks a little bit more
her age, and that was like sort of the point,
just like a little bit episode. Yeah, I'm like, yeah,
get down to it. But that's like a separate thing
from who her character is, which is like totally easing in.

(19:48):
So I was conflicted about that point. I just I
guess I got bothered when it felt like the movie
felt whoever put the movie out, like Disney plus felt
like really proud of itself. You know. That was like,
let this woman get fingered.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh, my god, that is really interesting. I didn't feel
any of that at all, really, I really yeah, well,
I hm. For a lot of it, I was like, oh,
this is my autobiography, and then watching a biopic like
looking in the mirror, So I think all of her
feelings of like fear and shame and not like cowardice,

(20:32):
but like feeling like she is a coward, and then
judging herself for that. All of that stuff I was
really resonating with. Yeah, and just that concept of like
this thing that you've wanted for so long, but having
so much fear around it and not even knowing what
it is that you really want from it, or like

(20:53):
what aspects of it are the ones that you want. Yeah,
all of that and so like as a result all
of the scenes being like nothing actually really happening until
kind of like the third meeting.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think her behavior
felt until I would say the third meeting, I think
her behavior.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I was like, yes, I think this is exactly what
I would be doing. Also, particularly when she was like
my son is so boring. I love that. I love
how she hated her kids. I was like, man, that
is how I would feel because I'd be damn sure
to raise a boy who is not a murderer, Like

(21:40):
it's just not evil, not an evil man. But as
a result, he would probably turn out to be pretty boring.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
She's like, I just don't think he's that cool. I
don't know. Yeah, yeah, there are a lot of things
like I liked him. I feel like that's a good
example too, of how that generation got kind of screwed uncertain,
like she like had to. She might not have wanted
to be a mom that bad. She doesn't live, you know.
But she's like, yeah, this is what I was supposed

(22:07):
to do. I'm supposed to get married, I'm supposed to
just like be with this man. He got to decide
what sex was for us. I never really got to
feel comfortable or safe like exploring anything. I felt like
that was all really beautiful and real.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Also, I like.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
That they do even though there was like a few
things going that's the whole point of the movie. There's
like many things going on. They talk about sex work,
they talk about being older, they talk about like being
scared about sex. They talk about like trying to make
sex fun and it being hard, and like all this
very real stuff. I found myself getting mad about some
of the like be brave about showing older women, but

(22:44):
at the same time, like the fact that it's just
a movie that talks about sex is being scary for
someone who's not just like sixteen and then does it
in the next episode type of thing, you know what
I mean. Like, I really appreciated that because it's like
it is a big it's a big topic with so

(23:05):
many feelings.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, and they just.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Like regard it as such even though she's like, yeah,
I've had my life and I've like been doing it
or whatever, but I still feel like I know nothing totally.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
And I think like the act of it being scary,
and then also the concept of asking for what you
want being such a scary thing. And it doesn't have
to be like specifically sexually, but just that idea of like,
I do think I want this, This is something I
need and I would like you to provide that for
me is something I particularly non men, are so socialized

(23:40):
into not doing. So it felt groundbreaking in some ways.
It definitely felt it felt like kind of the beginner
level of conversation, particularly around sex work. I think, yeah,
which I feel like it kind of had to be
like it just was there's no way this was going

(24:02):
to get like made by a studio without having like
the entry level very basic, yes convos nothing to advanced,
you know, which.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
They had about a lot of things, like I called
all the girls in my class sluts and he was like,
you shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do that, and she's like, yeah, well I guess, I
guess I'm sorry that I called you a slut.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
But yeah, we're thinking that this could appeal to many
generations of people. This is actually, you know, the beginner
level should be out there and maybe we don't need
people getting slammed and pounded the whole time.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
This is so I feel like we've switched getting slammed
and pounded.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Isn't that weird?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
I was surprised too. Is this is this because you're
more spiritual now?

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, I've become more spiritual, and I just I'm open
to it. No, It's like I get when when things
feel really proud of themselves, I like can get really
turned off. And I'm not saying that's how they were
the whole time, but like at the end they showed
and I it was both the moment where she felt
more free to like try things, which is great. But

(25:08):
also I felt the movie being like, but you didn't
think we'd show that, And I was like, you could
have done it, you could, but but it's just also
just because I was deciding to be mad at that
at the time.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, Oh, ci Ia, you wrote little
bush foreshadowing.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Do you remember this at all? I thought of you
because she said the word bush she was talking about
she was telling a story. It actually might have been
the story where she talked about like the sexually exciting.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oh yes, in Italy or Greece or wherever, and she
was by a little bush.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
She was like, that was a little bush.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
And I was like, oh, well, ironically there was no
bush at the end, I know, and I said, oh
my god, which I also was, well, well, now I'm
behind de brave, be brave, let her have a bush.
But I was surprised. Oh, okay, ci Any, you noted
I am disturbed by how bright it is at any
given time feels like a new Hayze code.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Were you noticing how bright it was?

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I was? I was, And I was confused by that
because they kept saying tonight, now, in fairness, if this
was all during the summer, the sun doesn't set until
like nine pm, so if they're meeting at like seven
a seven to nine window, it will be pretty bright outside.
But absolutely no, I feel like it was on purpose

(26:35):
to kind of like it's it's it's an interestingly unsexy film,
and that's the point, right, And I feel like it
not ever having like mood lighted point is part of
that because it makes it makes all of it feel
a little You're just less relaxed about it the whole time,
and it feels a little bit internetle sometimes.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, I think it was.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Was it dark at the end, Yeah, it was darker
at the end.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
That makes sense. Oh so maybe it was a choice.
Maybe it was a cinematic choice. I just like never
grew darker. It made me so uncomfortable. Yeah, but again,
that's that's actually pretty effective then. Just like what I
did like about it being bright is that I liked

(27:21):
the idea that she booked it super super early so
that they could spend the entire evening, which is good
because if I were in some sort of sexual situation
that had a time around it, I would feel so stressed.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Oh sure, but I wanted to talk about how they
when we have two hours oh crap. I imagine on
the first one. God, I'd be under deress. I mean
the way she made a list and was like, we've
got a lot to get to me. I love to
do this than this, than this and this, and she
was like, I don't want to do it out of order.
I'd like to do it. There was just so much
that I was like, uh huh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
And she was like achievable goals, Like I'll take something
off my to do list just because I know I'm
not going to do it that day.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, that way, it's not it's not actually on the list.
I do need to do it still, but I don't
have to look at it.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
There was some scene where she was giving some impassioned speech,
like talking about her kids or something, and then she
puts a cushion on the ground and just gets on
her knees. She can give you a low job. If
that really made me a laugh, Yeah, I am a
I am a turty.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Oh I am a turt I'm a dirty old PERV
every now and again. Oh my gosh, great question, Sienna.
You wrote his mom walked in on him having group
sex and then she disowned him.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Okay. I also right, they really lost me with this.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Meeting number three. I really was like, wait, they.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Were both being insane.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
She was being insane.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I literally wrote down she was being insane. Oh yeah,
like you said to be fair to him, she was
being insane in that scene when she goes I found you.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I found you on the when she goes let me
talk to your mother, let me explain to her. And
I was like, girl, you're being in that.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
That's not no, Yeah, I found that whole. It was
a weird thing where they've been talking about sex work
and stuff the entire time, like being very gentle and
informative about it to viewers who we know much. But
then like the fact that this character kind of I
know that it's supposed to be a big breach of
trust and they chose the right thing, but I'm not

(29:22):
even sure they gave the right amount of weight to it.
The fact that she like completely disregarded his boundaries, which
are incredibly important in sex work. Something that is like
can be so safe space, Like to say that you
found his thing is like he should actually never come
back ever again. Yeah, because that's just so not okay.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
She's like, what, what's the big jail.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
But anyway, I get why they chose that. I just
don't know if they.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I was so problematic about that. I was like, why
would you put your own name on your company's house? Listen,
that is your dumb idiot.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
But it's just like that puts him in said, it's
so creepy. It juststurbed me. That scene really disturbed me.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
It was it was odd.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
It was odd.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I get that there had to be some sort of
like conflict, yeah, exactly, Like, wow.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
They chose really like a really tough one.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
It was pretty extreme. Yeah, because what.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Would be the thing that makes him leave when he's
like delivering a fantasy and patient if she and he's
getting paid to be there and be emotionally laboris but uh,
it would be her literally like breaking the contract basically,
I guess.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah. But yeah, that scene didn't didn't quite work for me.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
That was it's like you said, it was like they
built this perfectly respectful space and they had to figure
out how to break it, and it just had to
make both of them be ins.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Insane, just a little insane. Both went crazy and like
they both are really goods, so they did their best
with it. But exactly.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's the thing about these British actors sometimes are uh
or I guess he's careful. These excellent actors, I should say,
I just associate other places with being better actors. But true, yeah,
they have to sell it no matter what, even if
the script didn't give them on the stuff they needed. Yeah,

(31:09):
are you a dirty old pervert? I bet you're not.
We talk about that more in a few minutes. We'll
be right back. Yeah, Leanna, you have said I am
not appropriate.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I just was experiencing my own things in that last
scene where you noted more boning against walls, more of this.
This should have been the movie. I don't completely agree.
I was happy it happened. I don't think it.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Should have been the whole for talking about it. I
don't agree either, But at.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
The time I was like whoa, yeah, and for the listener,
she's swinging her arms as if she's about to last
so something.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, I've become very western.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yes, well, you of course you've been immersed.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I think it was bringing up I just when people
are freely boning, I'm a little bit like, could stop.
That's not appropriate, which is my own thing. That's on me.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Well, the rhythm of the movie was weird. I think
we both can kind of observed and it was maybe
by design, but the rhythm was like very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable,
and then extremely comfortable after being comfortable, completely insane.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
So it I guess they had to like bond over
being insane and that brought them closer.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
I was happy for her, though, Damn, I mean, what
a scene, what a what a montage?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yes, we'll have to talk about it in trage is
my greatest trage for this movie is and this is
the place. I think they probably did a bunch of
different versions of the orgasm moment and then edit it.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Mm hmmm, because I'm just f was edited.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I'm sure they're like, she should do it herself, and
I'm like, love, Yeah, I did love that they didn't
give it enough of a moment for me, And then
I wish at the end they just like been like
did you did you? She's like I did, and then
they're like whoa and dance around.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
That's where I'm like, here's the other thing that you
have to remember is that she's British and he's Irish.
They're never gonna exhibit that much emotion.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I just it was the whole point and they barely
do it. I was waiting for it to be so fun.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Anyway, So yes, and now having lived in Britain for
two years, I was like, yeah, like, there's absolutely no
way that's about how that would go.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, that's so funny. I thought it would be a
perfect way to kind of close is like, to make
the point they were trying to make about like, I
know it's a lot, but you can relax if you want,
if you feel comfortable and it's nice, it can be fun.
But the city's like was that and she's like.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Mm hmm, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
It was such a bummer to me, it was such
a wow.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
I just did not feel that way. How interesting.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm I'm glad to have discussed it because I do
feel I still wis they should I still think they
should have high fived. But that's the American in me.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, you were watching this through an American lens. You
were trying to Americanize this.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
And Americans love high fives. Yeah. Your final note is
Academy Award for Emma Thompson. Thank you. I agree.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Okay, let's discuss. Let's discuss the full frontal nudity scene,
because it seems like you had negative opinions.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I kind of I was more i'd say disappointed. I
wasn't mad. I was disappointed, But I don't even want
to make this wrong of a stance before hearing your
take on it, because it wasn't It was just like.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
What I want to hear more like when you say,
like the movie felt like it was proud of itself
for doing that, Like what gives you that?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Where?

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Where?

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Where do you get that impression from the fact that they.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
When I step back and really think about it as art,
because sometimes it does take me a while to process
movies like this, Like again, it was a choice, like
even thinking about it now, the idea that she like
that they didn't, that the movie didn't show stuff at
first and did it the end could be seen as
she has finally she finally feels comfortable even looking at herself.

(35:43):
Hmmmm hmmm, which makes sense. But the way I was
reading it while watching was that they were like, we
don't want to scare people off with too much raw
experience of like a woman's body, so we're going to
wait till the end and people are going to be wowed.

(36:04):
That's how I was thinking about it, I think. But now,
even just like rolling it around in my mind after
we've discussed this and thinking of it as as if
none of this is I was really kind of maybe
because with the music and everything, it did feel like
sort of a movie that was created really with the
viewers in mind, more than more than just like art

(36:29):
for art's sake. It felt like it was Maybe my
assumption was that it was pandering in some way to something,
and maybe that's why I'm being so hard on it.
But thinking about it now is more of like just
literally if I'm taking it as art from her perspective,
that's about her. It makes sense that it was bright
and uncomfortable because she was uncomfortable, and then they didn't

(36:49):
show her body because she's like, I don't like my body,
I don't feel comfortable, I don't feel free, and then
at the end she's finally free. So I've maybe just
actively changed my tune. It does make more sense, but
that's okay. Well, that gives a little bit more clarity
for why I was feeling frustrated. It felt like it
was like, we're gonna show you at the end. For

(37:12):
a second, because you guys can't handle seeing a woman's
body for that long m you know what I mean,
unless it's like men getting exploitative joy out of it.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
It felt like disappointingly and not disappointing on the film's part,
but on society's part, uh, groundbreaking because at the very
end of like she orgasms for the first time, they
say they're goodbye, he leaves, and then she takes off

(37:41):
her robe and just looks at her naked body in
the mirror, and it's like, it's a body. It's just
a human body. Yeah, it's a human body, but it
doesn't fit like the exact mold of the bodies that
we are always seeing on screen, especially for women.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
We see it on screen.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah, you don't see that. You don't see like a
body over thirty five. Yeah, you don't see a body
that's like loose in any way or has been through childbirth.
Like you just are not seeing those things. And so
I thought it was like, ugh, I think this word
is so gross around like the female form. But it

(38:15):
was brave in that way because it was you're just
not you don't see that ever. Yeah, it's ever.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
It's really interesting you're saying that and hearing my perspective
because even though I'm like trying to my anger is
coming from the same place of like that we don't
see this very often. I'm like, oh, you think you're brave,
But the reason i even feel like it's brave is
because I'm not used to seeing it, you know what
i mean, So like I'm getting got by the same
societal like she's just a person looking at her body.

(38:44):
But it's like, oh, you're doing the brave thing.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Now, you know.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
It's like it literally just.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Is the wok left over here?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, anyway, it is I see weird that you don't like,
especially in American film as well. I feel like they're really.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
True any any sort of like what would be perceived
as imperfection bodies.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
You know, you're used to just seeing at the gym.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
You know they aren't.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
They're everywhere. They're like human bodies, but yeah, never on
that you never see them on screen, like, and they're
so surprising to me that I was like, you know,
felt all these things around it of like are you
doing this to be to be like because you because
because you're trying to make a point, or like why
is this you know that's so interesting too, because I
feel like it's it's intended to be her.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
She's not like seeing herself. And I watched some interviews
with Emma Thompson about this movie after it, and she
talks about that scene and she's like, it's not like
the character is seeing herself for the first time and
being like, God, I'm gorgeous. I'm just like, God, I'm
so gorgeous. She's just like finally kind of accepting her
body and like at peace with it. And so there's
a lot of like neutrality in that scene. But it's

(39:56):
interesting that it causes us to feel so many things.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah. Yeah, that's such a good point. Anyway, Wow, I'm
really glad to discussed this film. Oh my gosh, this
was like a book club. Well the auto. Let's go
to our badges and trages. Yes, please, My trauges are
all going to still be about high fiving, which I
do stand.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
By American trages. Welcome to Badges and Trages. Our segment
where we award badges for body neutrality. Perhaps we're are
we at with the body neutrality movement? Are we are?

Speaker 1 (40:31):
We?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Is that the right one? Okay?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
I think it's the right one.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
I don't the one that we're doing now. But yeah,
true and trages.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
For trying to adhere to purity culture.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Oh, I have a badge for ninety seven minutes.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Badge for that too. Yes, the length of film should
be I completely agree, like a long episode of television. Yeah.
Badge for Emma Thompson. I also have a badge for
Emma Thompson. Yes, she really did a wonderful job. I
really did enjoy her performance. Oh my gosh, she's so

(41:16):
human and funny and delightful to watch. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
I have a badge for Loel preparing cheek when they
first meet and he's like, can I kiss you on
the cheek, And she's like, oh, yes, that would be nice,
and then she kind of prepares her cheek to receive
a kiss.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
I loved that. I have a badge for how unenthused
she is about her kids or talking about them just
honestly like people. Yeah, she's like, they're the best thing ever.
She's like, he turned out pretty well, but I don't
really like hanging out with him.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
He's so land my Oh. My last badge is during
their their their boning montage at the end when they're
trying to do kind of like doggy style with like
a leg up on the bed or something and just
like I can't balance like this, I can't, this isn't working. Yeah,

(42:08):
I loved that. I just love those little like real moments.
This is in between like oh, they're having great sex. Cool,
but then there are certain things where it's like, oh,
I have a cramp, like my hip pert like we
gotta move around.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Yeah, clunkiness and talking about it is part of it. Uh. Yeah,
I have a badge for just like the actual issues
she's talking about beyond just like she has the stuff
of like being older and feeling like ah, like a
feeling like I didn't get to be fulfilled in this way,
but literally simply just like she hasn't had an orgasm. Yeah,
that's like normal and like hopefully hopefully you definitely want

(42:46):
with sex with her partner that she'd have been satisfied
or whatever, but like just the fact that your bodies
don't always do things that you want them to do,
or like that people have different experiences and stuff, Like
I really liked all of that that she or that
she's had sex for a long time but never done
a lot of sexual things she wants to do you know, Like,

(43:07):
I think that's actually a way more common experience than
people talk about, you know, like there's just a sort
of like, I don't know, yeah, feeling that like you've
done it, you've done it all. But I think there's
a lot more satisfaction exploration to be had, and like
maybe you're not comfortable about it with everybody, but some people,
you know, I don't know. I think that the actual
crux of everything they were talking about was really important

(43:29):
and awesome because it's so true.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
And then my final badge is it's an orgrasm. It's
not a Faberge egg.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
That reminded me of I was rewatching White Lotus season
two on the plane back from my cousin's wedding in
the States. Uh huh, and the grandfather played by f
Marie Abraham goes, it's a penis. It's not a sunset.
That's just a fun structure, so funny. It's an orgasm,

(44:05):
not a Faberge egg. Tradges, trages. Sorry, my trages are
going to be some of the lame things I said.
For example, trage number one, brightest movie of all time.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
I hated that. I did hate it, but I get
it effectively made me feel uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I think that's fair. What time of day did you
watch it?

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Evening and I watched it during the day, like ten ams.
Sense maybe it just felt they could fit right.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Instancy of brightness was it felt like it felt like
severance or something. It's like, what's going on? Oh?

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Interesting? Yes, I have a trage for not the cut
to batter Sea power Station at their first meeting. At
the end of it, they kiss and then it kind
of pans out the window or it cuts straight to
an exterior shot of batter Sea Power Station in London,
and I was like, what, huh so strange? Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Leanna, oh Lena, Yes, oh Leanna, I have a trage.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Okay, let's hear it, Sianna.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
I have a trage for. Oh. Their fight where she
goes insane is actually like really not okay? Yeah, the
boundary breaks. I was like, no, don't no, no, no, no, no,
God when she called him Connor, I guess yes, it's
like that is not appropriate, Emma no.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
And it didn't seem like she was getting it. I mean,
I think she kind of got it by the end,
but oh, it's crazy. It was so my next trage,
I guess, okay, I also had a trage for that.
I had a trage as well for I think I
struggled with his character because he just didn't feel like
a real He felt like an angel he was.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Which I get. When she was like, you're like a
sex saint, I was like, yeah, he is what he's like.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
In an interview she was like, he plays a sex worker,
but he's really more of like a sex car yeah,
which I thought was kind of a nice like way
to describe that the work, but.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
I just, yeah, I was like, who is this?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
And I get also, maybe that's just because that's what
you're supposed to feel, because he's like selling you something.
He's playing Leo Grand He's not actually like being a
three dimensional He's not supposed to be that. That's not
his job in that setting. But then in meeting three,
when he did become real and was doing his backstory,

(46:32):
I was like, huh, I.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Had an orgy and my mother kicked me out.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
She said I was she'd said that's the day I die.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
I do think I think that's a good trag. There's
something like the fact that this movie's trying to respect
that his line of work requires him to be some
level of anonymous. Didn't make it confusing, as they tried
to also make him like a full person while the
movie just took place in one room, like they're not
supposed to tell all about him.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. I do have to give
another a late badge, a belated badge, uh, for the
fact that the movie took place all in one room.
I really like movies where it's like there's two people
in it.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
I thought that was really interesting and fun. Yeah, it
was like a bottle episode, and I hate bottle episodes
on television. I'm normally like to me, no, I want
to see the plot progress, please, But if the whole
thing is bottle, great.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
I have a trudge for I really wish the orgasm
had been more fun.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Uh, not the thing.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Itself, just afterwards. I just because they did a little
dance scene earlier. I wish they'd been like, yeah, chutchy,
chutch we did we did. We didn't we did it
to make it like to have some levity around it,
when I felt like a big point of the movie
was to find levity, and I don't expect them to
like force that but I felt like that would be
a really non forced moment to just have a like

(47:55):
cute mmm you know thing. Anyway, that was.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
That's a see my personal taste. Oh, I love that.
That's so funny.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
It's kind of like me saying like they should have
eaten a hot dog right after. Like, I understand this
is a very mean thing. I understand this is very
memo that I.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Like you high fiving after sex sometimes. Yeah, okay, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Yeah, I love that team teamwork makes the dream work,
you know. I know it's very mean to think that
a high five would be the perfect culmination of a
would I know that.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
This sixty three year old British woman, this English woman,
has an orgasm for the first time in her life,
and naturally the thing she does is go for a
high five on top.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
I know you're there. I think I'm right.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
I'm gonna let you keep thinking that you are wrong,
but feel free to keep thinking that it can't be.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
It would have been insane.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
My final trage is a trade for her name is
Missus Robinson. That was crazy, that made me, That annoyed
me so much, crazy reveal and I know they like
pointed out they try to like, oh, missus Robinson cute,
and I was like, oh, shut up. Also, don't reference
the graduate during this film where and Bankruft is what
like thirty nine in that movie, Oh my gosh, yeah yeah,

(49:16):
and they're like, oh, this ancient woman is old woman.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
She literally just like is from the era where they
didn't wear sunscreen. She's like twenty nine. Yeah. My final
trudge was just for the moment where she talks to
a waiter about how this guy's tongue is is actually
not appropriate behavior as a client. You have to leave
the restaurant now, ye have to. You know, it's it's

(49:43):
a movie.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
It is what it is. That's Amory.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
That's Samory.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Yeah, lean because we have more, Yes, yeah, we have more.
There's more podcast. Yes, this is how to pretend you've
seen this film.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
This is for you.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Are in a Hilton, a hotel restaurant, and you're you're
just waiting and trying to think through some stuff, and
every server in the restaurant keeps coming up to you
saying do you need anything? Can I get you anything?
Can I get you anything? I'm okay, sorry, think I'm okay,
And then seconds later, can I get you anything?

Speaker 1 (50:17):
No no, no, no no, I'm okay. I'm okay. Thank
you very much.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Can I get you anything? No? No, no, no no,
I'm okay.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
I'm okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Can I get you anything?

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (50:23):
You know, while I'm here, this actually is this is
so funny. This reminds me of a movie I saw.
It's called good Luck to You, Leo Grand. Let me
tell you thought, you know, I'm going to get you
something and also I'm going to tell you all about
this movie right now.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
And in order to stop, uh, the entire staff of
this of this hotel from telling you about the film, uh, instead,
we're going to give you a few things that you
can say to pretend you've seen the movie good Luck
to You Leo Grand.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Yes, wait, staff, I've seen good Luck to You Leo Grand.
And in order to send you away, I'm gonna say
some of my favorite lines from their incredibly awkward first encounter.
To make you feel so uncomfortable that you have to
leave you Enjoy music by people.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
That is so real.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
I'm gonna say that on my next first day. Enjoy
music by people.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Yes, entire weight staff, I have seen the film good
Luck to You Leo Grand. Here's some fun facts. The
film was shot within nineteen days, with an average of
twelve pages per day. Oh my gosh, whoa. It really
felt like it would be. It was probably a really
cheap movie to make, except for paying Emma Thompson. Emma,

(51:45):
but you literally just rent a hotel room and pay
Emma Thompson.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Bing bang boom itemized budget done. Yes, Waite staff, I
have seen good luck to you, Leo Grand and then
the white staff says to me, let's move to you,
and I say, okay, Oh god. She's like, tell me
about yourself. He's like, tell me about you and she's like,
oh oh no, oh god, oh god, that's so how

(52:12):
I'm gonna be.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
I loved that her whole vibe.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Oh god, just panic, no, no, sheer, bloody panic.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
I thought the blowjob thing was all actually really lovely
and beautiful and yeah, she's like, so like I have
to do this. He's like, you don't have to. She's like,
I want to.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
I want to. I have to. I have to because
I want to, and if I don't a coward.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Really nice. It was actually really complex. That was like
you can try it if you want to, and if
you don't like it like you don't have to do
it again, and it's just like there's you have to
like it when you try it much tied up in
the fact that it's like you're supposed to like it,
and there's it's like whatever, And I just I thought
that was like, I don't know this movie really yeah,

(52:56):
succeeded in that way.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yes, wait, staff, stop coming up to me. Oh you've
come up so much. I have to I've spilled my
coffee on my jacket and I have to go change
and they say, don't change too much.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Can I say? Oh god, aha, I love that. I
loved that.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Oh god, oh god, oh my yeah, oh okay, uh yes,
wait stuff, I have seen the film.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
I have seen the film.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Good luck Leo.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Emma Thompson said that she trimmed her pubic hair in
preparation for the full frontal nudity scene. She says, I
greatly regret the demise of the full Bush. She explained,
I did once do the full thing years and years ago,
but really I regret it because they've never quite grown
back to my liking. Whoa, but that's also getting old, okay, Yes,

(53:52):
Emma Thompson on Bush.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Full Bush Ambassador Emma Thompson. Well, it must be an
actor during the two thousands. Oh god, Oh, I can't
imagine stripped to hell. I mean, if that's what people's
eyebrows look like today, imagine the bush anyway, fucked.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
The fact that this movie gave me hearing about Emma
Thompson talking about bush is really a real win.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
In Portante the day passed a road called Holy Bush Lane.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
If you want to hear more about this, go check
out the trivia because there's actually a lot and it's
pretty lovely.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Oh oh, Sienna, let's do should you watch this or
our segment where we tell the listener if we think
you should watch this movie or if you should do
something else with your bush ooh, Leanna, you go first.
I think this is a worthwhile watch. I think there
are parts of it that don't completely land, and I
think meeting number three everybody's being insane during but Emma

(54:52):
Thompson is just a treat. I think the acting and
it is really good. I think there's a lot of
like very beautiful vulnerability and conversations that are not that
are only just starting to be had. And I think
this is one of the things that is kickstarting that
and I really do believe that this movie walked so
that baby girl could run. Yes, that's what I would say.

(55:14):
How about you, Siena, I would say.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
You could watch this movie if you are looking for
all the things that we discussed, which I think is great.
There were definitely moments I felt let down because I was,
for some reason expecting something else. So what you could
do is watch this movie and know that it's its thing,
which is actually quite lovely and I and I thought

(55:40):
was pretty special. So I would recommend that. But then also,
in addition, if you're craving some other thing, watch Sex
in the City right after, and you'll have the whole
You'll have the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Yeah, I want you to write a fan fic of
Nancy from good Luck to Leo Grand going to brunch
with the girlies I tried to get right after he rendezvous.
Yeah yeah, Oh, Sianna, what would you rate the film
good Luck to You Leo Grand.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
I'm gonna give it. Uh, I'll give good Luck to
you Rio Grand, Rio Grand, Leo Grand.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
It's happened, She's been Western nine.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
I will give it three refrigerated Mars bars out of five.
The whole time. I was just so I was really
the brightness got me. Some of the conversations that we
didn't even talk about. I was like, I don't even

(56:43):
need to hear that right now, but I get that
you have to address everything. I felt like they had
to address so much. But I loved the stuff about
talking about like sex stress basically, but that was strangely
to me, not actually the majority of the movie. So
for me, it's three out of five. But I'm really
glad we talked about it because I am like taking

(57:04):
more away now thinking about it. And I love play. Yeah,
I love her. She did a great job in this role. Leanna,
what about yourself?

Speaker 2 (57:13):
I will give good luck to you, Leo grand four
full bushes out of five. There was so much in
it that I really really resonated with, and I also
understand that not everybody will, and it's it's conversations I'm
glad are happening. I thought the full frontal nudity at
the end was like important and some of it just

(57:36):
did not work, but a lot of it really did.
A lot of it really did, and I'm glad that
it exists.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
Agreed, agreed, Wow, And that's it. That's our review of
the Rio grand the Rio Grande. Did you see the
Rio Grande on tour Big River?
