Happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm Leana Holsten and I'm Sienna Jacob and welcome to
Tossed Popcorn, the podcast where two idiots watched every film
Oh my God 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 women
(00:36):
as Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This podcast is a safe space for people who don't
know anything about movies. Today we're watching Hustlers.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We gotta start thinking like Dad wall Street.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Guys, you see what they did to this country. Warning
there will be spoilers about this resourceful of film, modern film.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yah, Sienna, had you seen this before?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I had not? Had you me neither. No, I didn't
know what to expect.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Okay, well, hey, here's here's my prediction of what I
thought it was gonna be. Okay, I'd love to hear it. Hi, Sienna,
it's Leanna. I'm about to watch Hustlers, not gonna lie.
I have high hopes and expectations for this film. I
predict it's gonna be extremely slay. Oh baby, this is
(01:34):
Keithy Palmer. Love you. Bye.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I had no idea. I didn't know about like any
of the people in this movie. Oh except for j Lo.
I guess I knew, of course. Yeah, I don't know
what and you must. All right, well, let's listen to
my prediction and then I'll say more about what I thought,
because I guess I didn't.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Okay, put it all in there, all right.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Hi, Leanna, this is Sana. I'm about to watch Hustlers.
I remember. I think it's about stripping the art of
exotic dance. But as we know, it's directed by women,
so I'm looking forward to it. Maybe they'll hustle to
take people's money.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It sounds awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, I love you get back.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's like a book report. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I pictured it being more of like an ensemble film
with some like a yes, a bunch of a heist movie. Yeah,
a heist movie. But it was. It was different than
I thought, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't I
didn't have any expectations going in, but I don't think
I had high hopes because I just didn't. I didn't
(02:41):
know anything, and I was like, eh, we'll see it
was wonderful. Oh yay, God. I love when women make things.
I love women. I really love women. Yeah, well, Leonna,
before we get into the movie, Hey girl, hey girl,
it was just New Year's how's it going?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh good? We will have to discuss New Year's off,
Mike God. And other than that, I've submitted my visa
application again, okay, and I have not.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Slept since Okay, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I'm so scared. I'm so stressed. This is unbelievable. Couldn't
be Hi, No, I don't know where I'm gonna live
in ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
On the bright side, you've done so much since then,
so there's another world in which you try to do
it and you just try to like work with what
you'd already done and try to make it work. But girl,
you put on a one woman show and you got
it reviewd mama.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So that's that's just in the eighth I'm still jet lagged.
I've been very publicly jet lagged, to the point that
my friend was like, oh, yeah, no, I've I saw,
I saw I saw about that online that you have jetlag,
and I was like, maybe I should take it down
a nuts. But it's because I still am living alone
and I just crave connection. Well, it also and I
(04:16):
want to talk to someone. So I talked to everybody
via my Instagram stories.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Ah, that's what they're for.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
This is if Joe from Little Women's Sharona Addition had Instagram,
she'd be doing this.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That's what it is for. Though, when it's like, I
don't really saying I have jetlag to any of your friends,
even if you have friends that you can talk to
about other things, it's like to just say I have
jet lag, you know, we'll be like okay, okay, We're
like you want to tell me about it, and you're like,
I mean, I guess no, that's kind of it. So
I think there's some things that are supposed to are supposed.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To be to the ether, thank you. Yeah, so I've
been posting into the ether this week. Well.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Also then it was New Year's so you're supposed to
stay up late.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Well so I really forked it that way. I thought
I had one jet lag because I returned from America
on Sunday it's now Friday. On Sunday night, I slept
for ten hours straight because I took an American grade
sleeping pill and God bless and then on Monday I
was awake the whole day.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, I took a.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Nap, is that true?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Maybe I was? I was, and I got so much
done and I submitted my visa application. And then Monday
night I couldn't fall asleep until I took a sleeping
pill again, but it didn't work, and I was awake
until like one thirty or two in the morning.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And then Tuesday was New Year's Eve and I went
to bed at four thirty in the morning. No, no,
once you get paid, am I three eighteen? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh my. At that point, I was like, should I
just stay awake ye into the dawn? But it's the
UK in January, so the sunrise wasn't for another, you know,
ten hours, and then it lasted for like two hours,
and so I think I really forked myself. And now
I'm publicly online about having jet lag and that's okay,
(06:11):
thank you, thank you for your acceptance. Of course I
accept that often about my Instagram stories, I'm like, I'm
so annoying, and then I'm also like, I'm not gonna stop.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh I love your Instagram stories.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Thank god, Okay, thank you. I'm keeping that in mind.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I love them. What did you post you this day.
Oh my god, what you posted about those bow What
were they?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh? The bow buns. Sainsbury's did a party platter of
ice ice Bowbie penguin shaped bow buns and it was
the best, the best thing you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I love that so much? Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Thank goodness? Okay, just for you, Bibby Bowbie. Hey girl,
Hey girl, Happy New Year, Happy New Year.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I was just thinking, I've been really into muting people's
instagrams recently. Oh, muting Instagram stories and things, and it
makes everything so much better.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It's so powerful.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I am. Let's see, uh yeah, who have you muted? I? Yeah, okay,
let's talk about the people read the handles. I'm so
grateful to Instagram for introducing the mute features. It's so
cause it's like, I want to support you in this way.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I want to support it, be a follower. Yeah, but
I don't. I don't want to hear about you. Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The main thing I've been muting recently is I'm sorry
to my theater high school theater kid community. But with
oh no, when I know somebody who's like kind of
like a goofy goofster in real life and and this
is not to be shamey. I truly like think that
we all deserve to do a good portion of this.
But like when people are posting just like only thirst
(07:48):
traps and I know them as like a dorky person,
it it like it it makes me feel so weird
and intimate.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean it's like one thing of like a sleigh
photo every now and then. But I'm talking like like
I'm talking, I'm talking like they're wearing like some costume
with a weird hat. And then they're like because it's
just that theater side of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know what I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Do, I personally don't need to see this grind that
you're on. I support you, but I feel like I
shouldn't be seeing it. And you can't know what somebody's
Instagram feed is, you can't know that they're Yeah, because
some people are like I only want to post my beautiful,
cringey photos and like that's what my that's what my
Instagram is, and you deserve to do that. It's just
(08:38):
like we don't need to be participating in each.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Other's lives in that exact way.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, yeah, yes, especially when I don't know them. Well,
that's usually it is. It's like I know them as
like an acquaintance. Yeah, and I'm like, this is way
too much that I seeing all this whole.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah. So yeah, it's so much. Hole.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I've been doing a lot of muting.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yes, I had a lovely.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh that's great. Yeah. I was gonna say a little
segue speaking of seeing things that you're not sure you're
supposed to be seeing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It. Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, Gerlinsta, could you please give us a synopsis of
the film. I almost at the film Hey Girl. The
film Hey Girl basically girl. I would love to film Mustlers. Yes,
where are we notes Hustlers alternate title hate Girl Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, Hustlers. Destiny is the new girl at the club,
Ramona is the best. They team up and become two
best friends, breaking it in as strippers at this bougie nightclub.
And then the recession hits and all the Wall Street
guys who used to throw down for a lap dance
(09:57):
took off with everyone's money and let the luxury strip
club world to die. They have to get creative to
make a profit, and after trying to make ends meet
for a while, create a special ploy where they steal
Wall Street guy's money, using specifically a special drug mix
(10:19):
that they cook up to expedite the process of getting
into a client's wallet. Eventually they get sloppy and they
get caught. But most of the time, who are they hurting?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Really? The end slay.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
This is of course a movie with j Lo who
I'm sorry she ate Oh my god. I feel like
I mostly am just making fun of her in the
not me. I feel like we're most like, mainly in
the ether these days. We're kind of making fun of
her personalities. She's a cringy celebrity and that is very fun.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Sure, but she was what a performance.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I loved her.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
She's so strong, she.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is so gorgeous and amazing. She looks incredible. And then
her performance, I think that they were trying to say
that Ramona was kind of like a polarizing figure, who was,
you know, trying to get control whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I just really loved her.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I loved her so much. It's like she's slaves. She
loves her friends. She's so nice. She's so strong.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
She's stills to tell her core strength alone could could
lift mountains. I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I don't know how her body does any of what
it was doing anyway. Wow, Well, Leanna, I'd love to
get into our phone notes about this film and just
talk about it, because Wow, what a film.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Who this is?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Of course the segment of phone notes where we talk
about the notes we took on our phones while watching
the movies separately. Uh, Leanna, you said, Okay, omg, I
met the president of st Films once.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Lol. Lol. I don't think I signed an NDA about
this or anything, so I think I'm allowed to talk
about it. Let's hear it, but I'll keep it a
little vague. Basically, on a I was, I was, you
(12:21):
know what, I'll just tell you all the details. It
was a school trip. It was the Stanford spring break
trip to LA where you do meetings with like alums
in the industry. And somehow we got connected with somebody
at STX Entertainment who was like high up and shock
a man. And I think somebody asked him like, hey,
(12:43):
kind of all of the movies in your slate this
year are directed by men and about men, like it's
mainly men, And his answer was so garbage. I think
he literally said I have to daughters. At one point.
That was mentioned and oh, men aren't smart enough to
(13:07):
watch movies about women, so we have to make dumb
films for men.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Okay, I'm so glad that we watched this movie so
that I don't have to think about that too much.
Yep yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Is so up And maybe they've turned a new leaf,
you know, via that.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Was such a historically bad response that they're like, Okay,
maybe we should make this movie that.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Like, I guess we have to make hustlers now because
that guy flapped so hard in that group meeting.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You don't know what I was thinking. Again, I thought
it was gonna be like a fun heist movie. Yeah,
I didn't know it was about like the specific situation,
about some really I some really deep characters and everything.
I don't It's one of those things where I feel
like the advertising was probably about way more about the
stripping and everything, because that makes sense. It'll get people
(13:51):
in the scenes. But it wasn't all about that. I mean,
that was what they did, but like, it wasn't all
I thought it was gonna be more like I'll show
you the ropes of how to Pull Dance, which is
and was so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but it was.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Mainly just seeing these women's lives, and it was so
clearly directed by a woman. I I kind of I
could try to explain it, but watching it is the best.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Your first note does a good job. Your first note
is this is definition of necessary boob and somehow none
of it feels exploitative at all. So true. And then
you wrote there is something wrong with men.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
There were certain times today where I was watching last night,
when I was watching it, where I was like, what
is wrong with them? Because this feels so good to watch.
There are women who are topless because that's their job.
But yeah, there's nothing about it that is that is
ogling them agling. Yeah, let me forget figure.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Out what I always saying. But I love when you say.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Think it's either but that's ogling them and them and uh,
you know, oh make presenting them like some object for
our viewing. It wasn't like that at all. And just
to see so easily just where you hold the camera,
making it feel completely different. I'm like, yeah, you go
to these like where you were where they were talking
(15:15):
to the STX man and he's like, it's really hard,
it's complex. It's hard to make movies blah, I have
two daughters. It's impossible to make. And then you just
see a woman take it, take the camera and take
two steps back, and it's a completely different movie. That
feels way yea, it's like you chose to do this.
Something is going on with your head very round, So
why do we just keep giving the cameras anyway, it was,
(15:38):
it was. I just had a great time watching this film.
It was sounding so much.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Fun, just like Wall Street in two thousand and eight.
We got a crash, but just for three minutes. They'll
be back very soon after these messages. Oh yeah, And
(16:03):
speaking of.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Men being awful, you said men are so scary.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
All of the shots of men at the club and
like egging each other on, and just the way that
they felt like entitled two.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Women's Bodies was all very scary. This I'm sorry, guys,
this movie was so good. The I love movies that
portray men as gross little bugs because that is the
female gaze.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That is another genre on the list.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
What's so funny We.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Had from the AFI list like this Guy is the
Best or White Boys in the Desert, And now with
films directed by non men, we have men as gross
little bugs.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Which is like the subsys like that you know in
a show when they will portray something, when there'll be
a scene where a character is imagining something in a
really cinematic way, and then we kind of zoom out
and we see that they're actually just in real life
being completely not cinematic and maybe just like staring at
something and they look like a gross person. I feel
(17:21):
like that's the difference between men making movies and women
making movies is especially when it's about something sexual. Yeah,
these sex sex scenes that really popular sex scenes that
men will make will be like, you know, really sexy
working towards a climax, gross like close ups on whatever
(17:43):
following the ladies boobs, and then the movie made by
a woman about the same sexual interaction is like a
zoom out where you just see the guys going, which
is what movies.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Like this are.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, where it's just they show some to the guys
just staring yes or having trying to uh, trying to
pay for these women trying to buy them stuff even
though they're like knocked out, just like anyway, It's so
refreshing and I love it so much. Yeah, that's the
(18:18):
female gays right there, is seeing men be incredibly embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
They're so Oh Sienna, you wrote, O MG, she's doing pilates.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, did this make you want to learn the art
of pole at all?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
No, because I bruise so easily and I'm not that
comfortable seeing my that much of my body.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I it's it's tough because I completely understand why you
would never ever do that. But also, at the same time,
I think you'd be amazing at it because you both
have dancer training and you're incredibly.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Strong and fit.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Don't you think you might actually be incredible at it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's one of those things where God has gifted me
the skills, the ability to do something I will never do.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Totally.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So hard, it looks so hard. It looks so hard hard.
I think you could do it, though, I do, I
think you could do it. You're the strongest person I know.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh my God, thank you. That almost means a lot.
But I know the people that you know. I guess kel.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh, not that you're freakishly strong.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, I love it. I don't think would you if
you could? Would you? Would you?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The reason I would you would because that that would
mean that I was so strong.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I would love that. But what I would really love
to do is that the one where she goes flat. Yes,
it's like called table or something. This movie is she's
completely horizontal. She was being so supportive that scene. There
are so many scenes.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Some scenes that I loved so much that I didn't
even process as being unique. Were, for example, Jaylo teaching
her to pole dance and she kept just going like
Destiny kept going, I don't think I can do that,
and Jaylo's like.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
You can't. You can totally do it. Yeah, oh, you
can totally do it. You're gonna do this, you.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Can do it. It was just supportive.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
This is really a movie about female friendship.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
It that's what I wrote. Later, I was like, I
had no idea, this was just the best friends movie. Yeah,
oh my god, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
This is so true, Siena. You wrote this movie is
so of the time. It's like the Big Short plus Lizzo. Yeah,
oh my god, that's literally what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I thought that was really funny. It took me a
while to realize also that they were playing songs from
the era that it was supposed to be in the world, like,
for example, this is kind of unrelated, but when they
were playing that Fiona Apple song right when Criminal, right
when Jalo came out. I thought that was so funny
to do to strip to Fiona Apple. But I guess
that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I did not know that was Fiona Apple. Do you
want to hear the only thing I know about Fiona Apple?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh my gosh. I don't know how you're gonna feel
about this. This is for actualy friend of the pod.
We watched the entirety of the Lord of the Rings
cinematic universe together and one of what we were watching
was The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power
on Amazon Prime, of course, and at the end of
one of the episodes of season two or maybe season one,
at the end of one of the episodes in the show,
(21:43):
for some reason, he pressed play one day and it
started at the credits instead of at the beginning of
the episode, and the credits were playing a Fiona Apple
song where she turned the poem from The Lord of
(22:03):
the Rings into a song. So it went.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Threeing for the Elven Kings and we were thrown back
into the count and it's an entire tune.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's on Spotify to rule them all. This is how
it goes.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
One Ring too fine and bind.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
There your express I'm gonna keep go. Okay, one ring
to this is the exact pace of I can completely imagining.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Them all and in the darkness, bind them.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
That's all I know about Fila Apple.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That is so funny, Leanna, you said it is so
funny that Usher is in this.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my god, I was laughing so much. I couldn't
stop laughing.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I just so many good things happen in this movie.
I know things were hard, but like also like they've
just had a good time, Like Usher was having a
good time.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
They were having girls, they had the which it was
so much fun. When Usher was there, what's your name
to Usher? He goes, Usher baby, and everyone laughs, including me.
For a one split second at the beginning of that,
I was like, why did Usher agree to be in this?
And then they made the world look like the happiest
(23:36):
place on earth because Usher was there, and I was like,
I understand why Usher wanted to why Usher agreed to
do this. It was like the sun shone out of
his hole, you know, and maybe it does you know why.
That's the magic of Usher.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
And in that moment, I was like, yeah, she's a
talented boy.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Is it is? The end of you wrote, I'm a
great time, as was everybody else with Usher.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I was having a great time watching.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I still can't believe Usher was in this. It was
so great, what a dream role, so fun. The role
that they gave Usher was you enter a space and
what makes everyone's day. It is the best moment of
everyone's life. Everybody were there is happy.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
They need to show what the opposite of the recession was,
and the opposite was when Usher is Usher one day.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Usher is the opposite of the two thousand and eight
stock market crash.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Leanna, you said, I personally would not have had that baby.
Oh I would not have had the baby.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, yeah, just me personally, I wouldn't have. But you know,
to each their own is what we hope the law
would remain.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Again, another wonderful thing about this movie. The man who
she's with we only see for like two seconds.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, let's get into this. Because Sianna, you
wrote hurts No one builds the economy. I knew that
this was about scamming. I did not know this movie
was also about drugging them. And I was like, oh,
(25:28):
I slay, I know, I know, which is kind of
what the movie is saying they're kind of like they're
kind of like, sorry, you were drugging them, and they're like,
it's not a big deal. Yeah, everybody is doing that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But I think they did a good job of not
saying that that was a good thing and also not
saying it was, uh, the most condemnable thing in the world, because,
for example, when they were later, like some of these
guys kept going back yes, because they just were like, yeah,
I was having a good time. I'm used to getting
(26:03):
black out drunk, and I really like feel powerful when
I spend a lot of money on yeah, people who
are at my wife.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Right, And it is the thing of like they didn't
harm them physically, They simply ran up their credit cards
a lot. Yeah, they I think I think what unsettled
me so much about it is that that concept of
like drugging someone and like taking taking power from them
totally in terms of like bodily autonomy. Totally rob a
(26:28):
rich man from Wall Street any day, any any morning
you wake up, you you rob a rich man from
Wall Street, Absolutely go ahead and do that. It was
more the uh yeah, yeah, the drugging part was Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Was crazy, and there was a lot of nuance they
were uncomfortable with it, and or some of them were
uncomfortable with it.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And oh my god, Leie Beinhardt's characters thing of she
just always throws up was so funny.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know why that happens. Yeah,
I think they did an effective job of sort of
hmm making us think about the nuance there, because definitely
it was wrong and it's weird because it I don't know,
not to get dark, but they were like drugging these
(27:16):
people so as not to have to do sexual things
with them, right, which I'm not saying is right. It's
just like so it's like the difference. It's like the
women's side, you know, of trying to get you know,
but yeah, they were. And that guy who's like, please
you you took everything from me, Please don't do that, Leanna,
(27:40):
you said my fiance became my wife. Men forgetting to
tell you that they have a girlfriend during an hour
long intimate conversation. My god, that is so funny. That
is so funny. That was completely that vibe.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Became my wife is the most unhinged way of saying
were married. Why can't they just be upfront about it?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I uh, the thing about my fiance is the.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Matter with them. I will never I will never forget
the Halloween party. Oh no, the birthday party where I
spoke intimately with a man for thirty minutes and then
he stood up and kissed a woman on the mouth
and said, nice to see you. I said, what where
(28:29):
am I? And why is it? In hell?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Kissed her all the mouth? Wow, Lehanna, you said an
iPhone four s omg.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Wait, this was a period piece. It was a period piece,
but also not that long ago. There is no reason
we need to be on the iPhone sixteen when the
iPhone four S was coming out like twenty thirteen perfectly.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, why are we? It's too much?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
What the f planned? Obsolescence gets me so riled up.
I get so bad just thinking about it. Oh my gosh,
I had no idea. Oh it pisses me up so much.
Just make things that last, not that we have to
throw away in two years. It kills the planet, it
kills our wallets. It's horrendous for humanity. Stop doing it.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Stop it. It really is, it really is.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's sad.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Anyway, Leanna, you said, I love this chihuahua who has
one foot in the grave. That dog was so.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Small, Yeah, I like potato.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Wanting to hold it in my hands. You do look
because it looks like the size of a hamster. Yeah,
it was amazing, and it was so dead in the eyes.
It was just clinging to life, and I loved it.
If you'll excuse me, Jalo needs to go show me
some moves on the pole and I kind of just
need to kind of spend the rest of the day
(29:59):
doing that because I think.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It's going to be kind of life changing for me.
We'll be right.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Back, Leanna, you said you said what a boob?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Who said what a boob? I love a stereotypical New
York cop going what a boob?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
What a boob?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
What a boob? A boob?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I really like the end of the movie when they
both were like, this is really wrong what you've been doing.
You know, I'm really The journalist is like, yeah, I'm
really focused on the drugging part because that's crazy, and
all the cops are like, I can't believe these guys
fell for that.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh my god, what a boob?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Like they had less and even Destiny is like I
feel horrible about this, Like, yeah, it felt like nothing
but now I feel like.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
A lot of regret and whatever what a boob said.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
The policemen are just like.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Lol boob.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
No guys would even tell us that it happened to
them because they were too embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Or a bunch of boobs, bunch of booms. I just
I love boob as an insult. I think it's so funny.
I wish it wasn't tied to boobs. I wonder which
came first, the boob or.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
The boobs boo probably boom boom. But you know that boners,
you know that. You know that boner used to mean
like a mistake, like a mistake.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Still does am I right, ladies?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, and I love that that became. I got a boner,
I got a mistake, mistake, my body made a mistake.
I have a huge mistake. Leona, you've said a cab
as hell.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Oh my god, when they were like, think of your daughter,
like when the cops were pressuring her into taking a deal.
M yes, they broke the law, but also.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
A camp a caab. Yeah, there's a lot of things
going on at once.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This movie was kind of nailing it across the board
in terms of its portrayals of everybody.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I completely agree. I completely agree, Leanna. You've said, who
is Dorothy?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Who's Dorothy? Had a photo in her wallet at the
end where she was like, oh that's Dorothy. Who could
who could ever? Leave her? And I was like, is
she talking about destiny?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I guess it's destiny. But I didn't know her. Yeah,
I didn't realize. I didn't get that either.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, me neither. She literally never called her that because
then she responded to it as if it was a
photo of her like that. Her emotional response was such
a high level, So I was like, well, I think
it's about her. Yeah, I don't think it's just like
somebody else for me a while too, But who is that?
Who is that? Yeah? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Well, do you want to move on to badgis and
trages because I have a lot of things to say,
but a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I have gosh, so many. Yes, Hello everyone, This is
our segment Badges and Tradges, where we award badges for
bodying these numbers, these dance numbers, and tradges for tricking people.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, for tricking people without their consent. Yeah you don't
like that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Okay, you may trick me, but you must tell me.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
First, you must tell me.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You have to I have to, and then you can
trick me. I am willing to be tricked.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I have a badge for eyeshadow. Oh, my gosh, don't
get me started. I make this.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I have a badge for body glitter. I love body
glitter when you put a lotion on it and it's glittery.
I usually there's never a circumstance in my life where
that's applicable.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, maybe if you start the dancing like I suggested,
Well when you pole dance, which I know you will,
there are inevitable there are moments in movies like that,
so pale.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Imagine me under those lights. You would be brighter than
people would go blind, brighter than ever. You're like, they
wouldn't be able to tip because they can't see anything.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
She's like a new color. She's the absence of.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Where is she?
Speaker 1 (34:40):
There are some things in movies like this that are
made by women where there are just lines where I'm like,
I never have heard a line like that in my
entire life of watching movies, even if it's just completely simple,
like for example, they said at one point, she said,
you know I loved this time basically what you're saying
before the recession hit. I loved this time dancing. It
was so glamorous and cool. Yeah, and like I'm sure
(35:04):
that is exactly what it felt like, you know, like
as simple as that, we're just girls out here. It
was so glamorous and cool. It felt great. I'd never
hear that in a sex movie by a man.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know what I mean? Yes, totally, like they're like,
we were banging broads right and left. We had a
boner every day.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I had a boner every day.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Badge for the line I'm really blown away by your penmanship. Seriously,
you could be a fond. I loved a that line
and b that concept turning your own handwriting into a fond.
I want to do that.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Why aren't we doing That's a new thing.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I learned. Badge for the dances some of the Jalob
does her dance My job, My god, my mouth was
I was a gape.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
My mouth was a gap. I couldn't believe it. I
just couldn't believe it. A badge for the stock market crash.
Hear me out, Okay. I was excited because it was
a historical context. This suddenly became a work of historical fiction,
and I said, oh my god, that's right. Of course
this will have massive ramifications for the plot of this film,
(36:19):
this historical event.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
I had no idea that's what this.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, when that happened, I didn't know what was going
at all.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
And then I was like, oh, go learn something. Love
Badge for all the microphone stuff they did because it
was a reporter and a magazine.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
L yeah, yeah, that was cool, like sound design.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
And stuff like when they turn off the mic you
can't hear it for a while, or when she's wearing
the wire.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Oh yes, yes, Oh could you bring the drugs? Shut up?
Oh a badge for do you need to get that?
About a baby? Is so funny, that's so you. Yeah
it is. There's a baby making sounds. Do you need
to do? You need to get that.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Badge for a Besties movie? This is my next.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Badge is female friendship is so important.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
It's like you can always stay with us because I
loved her.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
There was so much care being taken of others. Yep.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, their family photo when they're all doing Christmas together.
Come on, stop Badge for I loved the last line
of this movie.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Oh, yes, did you write it down? Because I know
I loved it and I can't remember it at all.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Let's see Jayla's talking about how the world is like
a strip club. Strip club. She said, it's all a
strip club. You have people tossing the money and the
people doing the dance. That is so true. That is
so true. M Oh my gosh. Right now when nobody
can figure out how to make money and get a
job and economy, and there's this weird attention culture and
(37:48):
we can't figure out if art is just to get
to distract people or if it's supposed to move you.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yes, I should just send you a song. I have
to send you a song I've heard this week.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Oh my gosh, I want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
My next badge is Constance wu Is doing a really
good job. Yes, oh my gosh. The acting, especially in
these interview scenes, she was so good.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yeah. I loved her. I loved her. Everybody in this
movie was so gorgeous. Oh, I guess my final badge
is for the end dance at the very end. This
is also how you can tell it's me about a girl.
At the very end, they're like okay girls, and they
(38:31):
just all do a dance together at the very end
because they were friends that movie.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
I thought it was gonna be them at the club,
like dancing in their club costume.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Me too, but they were just at home. They're at
home in their clothes.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Oh my god. Women.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
The movie ends with first, you know, they're thinking about like, yeah,
these women got punished, but then it shows like it
does a whole pan across all these men just watching
these women dance and just like makes you think about
like what but what is this and all the power
that men have or think they have for power dynamics
in our in our world. And then and then Jaylo
hits it with the best last line ever and then
(39:07):
they do a dance together. I'm sorry, Triple Threat perfect.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, my last badge is Jlo is so good in.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
This I'm sorry. She was amazing. I oh my god,
had no idea. I completely get the hype and I
love her.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Trages.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Trag is a trage for people with penises. Must be
so embarrassed, please say more. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I just.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Men having the world built for and by and around
them and creating this culture, like yes, people have reclaimed
dancing at clubs and pole dancing. Yeah, but but also
it is an invention of the patriarchy so very much,
(40:05):
and it's the biggest boner of all.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
The biggest boner the patriarchy.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
And just yeah, and I know that men, like the
behavior of men that was exhibited in this movie still
rampantly exists totally in real life. And see why are
you not in bars?
Speaker 1 (40:25):
At some point you get mad because you're like before
there was at least this like contract between the dancers
and the people there, and like they'll give money for
you dancing for them in this way, but there was
like that boundary and then that those boundaries kind of
crashed down when people were desperate in the recession. And yeah,
(40:46):
I don't know, but yeah, exactly like you said, like
people have reclaimed it, but it's catering to this disgusting Yeah,
Like it's because it's meeting a need and it's powerfully
meeting a need, but that not in need a demand
that and that demand is something that is like disrespectful and.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, very patriarchal.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Anyway, trage for saying nothing as a response, I hate
this in any movie, and every movie does it because
movies are trying to save time. But there were at
least one moment. There's at least one moment where somebody
asks something and the response is just like not to
respond and they figure out what they mean. But never
have I been talking to a friend and I'm like, so,
(41:27):
how did it go? And they say nothing and look
at me, and I go.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
No, why did they tell me?
Speaker 1 (41:35):
I would be like, I would be.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Like, what huh what happened?
Speaker 5 (41:40):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (41:41):
What tell me specifically what happened?
Speaker 1 (41:44):
But anyway, it's a movie, so you know.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, trage for this Little Purse seems inconvenient with Destiny
always has a tiny little purse with her at the club,
and I think it's where she keeps the cash that
she makes. Uh huh, but that's gonna fall off your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Wow, I didn't notice that. God, I love her. Oh
my final trage. Yeah, though hopefully you covered trages about
the drugging and things, because I didn't write it down.
But trag for trage for Jlo's flat hair in the
(42:23):
final scene they do to make it look like time
has passed. This whole movie is so gorgeous, and then
they make it just so flat. On her head. She's
working in an office. Now, it was so cruel. Why
you gotta do that?
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Offices do flatten your hair along with your spirit. It
is true, looks worse than after a day at the office.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
It just does something.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I look so ugly there. I don't know what happens.
My final trag is trage for not as fun as
a heist movie, because I thought it was just gonna
be like Shenanigan, Yeah, and like getting one over on
these these powerful, yeah misogynists, and it was, but then
it also was drugging people and taking away their bodily autonomy,
(43:12):
and I.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Was like, ah yeah, and also yeah, it's hard to
watch them get sloppier and and go for people who
not deserve it less but are less like inclined to
even be partying with them in that way because before
they're like, these are the people who are going to
get like so drunk that it feels like it's basically
the same thing, which again is still completely wrong. But
(43:37):
the logic, I mean, it's like anything where you're making
money or you know you're doing something wrong, where it
just the boundaries, it the slope it.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Slips mm hm, oh, yes, let's let's dance into our
next segment. How to pretend you've seen this film? This
is for you are oh, you are seeing Usher uh
(44:09):
huh in concert and you are dancing and living, laughing
and loving it up. And and Doug was like nice, right?
Was there like a Brian or something? God another badge
that I can't remember a name of a single man
in the film.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
I can't remember any of them.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
I love that well. I guess Doug.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Sorry, Doug comes on you. You dance good, you could
strip you know you?
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Oh okay?
Speaker 1 (44:49):
And you say what.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
And in order to kick Doug with a six inch heel,
a six inch platform stiletto right in the chest. We're
gonna give you He didn't even bring up the film,
but we're just we're going right to it because that
was crazy. We're gonna give you a few sentences you
can say to inform Doug. You have seen the film Hustlers.
(45:16):
Doug A, I've seen the film Hustlers and b my penship,
my penmanship is so good it could be a font.
So I don't need to be talking to you right
now or ever.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yes, Doug, I have seen the film. I can never
remember the name of the movie would have said this. Yes, Doug,
I have seen the film Hustlers. Fun fact. Uh the
writer and director uh Loreen Skafaria. I think Lauren sure
Loraine Loraine Stafaria. She wrote Usher into the script but
wasn't sure to be interested. But happily he was interested
(45:54):
and even brought his own chain shades and jacket from
that era to the scene.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Isn't that cute?
Speaker 1 (46:00):
I'm gonna bring a few thousand and seven clothes.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Oh my god, it's so cute. Oh Usher, ah Ussuerre.
I love that, Doug. I've seen Hustlers and there is
a scene in it that is so goddamn real, which
is when Destiny is at a job interview and she says,
how am I supposed to get experience without having experienced?
(46:26):
My god, because that was a free job in the world.
During the interview process, says well, have you done this
specific job before, because we're only looking for someone who's
done this specific job before. And you're like, how am
I supposed to have done this specific job before? If
you won't give me this specific job, that was because
I haven't done it before?
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Triggering? Who that is so triggering? Yes, Doug, I have
seen the film Hustlers. This film was shot in only
twenty nine days and was a pretty low budget film. Whoa,
I didn't have known any of that. It was really
really good and like, oh my god, they did an
amazing job.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Wow, sleigh.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
It seems like movies made by women are often really
fun to make.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, h Doug tries to sidle up to me during
the Usher Content concert, and I turned to my girly
pal next to me and I say, I look at
I gesture I not over to Doug, and I say, oh,
what a boob? What a boob? What a boob? What
(47:37):
a boob? In movies made by men, when they say that,
they're talking about a literal boob. But in movies made
by women, when they say what a boob, they're talking
about idiot men.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
This is the funniest fact. This is such a fraught fact.
M Yes, yes, Doug, I have seen the film Hustlers.
Apparently Martin Scorsese passed on directing the film, okay. Lorene
(48:19):
Scafario wrote this movie though, and she also directed it,
so I don't know if she was like, maybe this
guy should direct it, right, I don't know how that happened,
but all I can say is, thank god, this is
not the movie for him.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
I don't know. I'm trembling with the weight of that.
I need to find Wow, isn't it would be I
would watch a sketch, comedy sketch. I would watch a
comedy sketch that's Scorsese's cut of Hustlers, because it would
be so absurd. That is so fun and annoying. Yeah, okay,
(48:54):
but they'll just have like a giant Italian meal at
some point.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Uh huh. I think it was. That's so true. I
think it's because like it was one of those fast paced,
like trying to talk about a certain era. So they're
kind of doing yeah Fellas, They're like, what if.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
We do that? Yeah, Goodfellas the Big Short plus Lizzo.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
Yeah, and then that would have just been so much
more boob.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
I'm so happy this didn't happen. Oh, thank god, I
don't want to kind that's huge glasses, Yeah, ogling with
those huge glasses. M well, Leanna.
Speaker 1 (49:30):
Thankfully it was directed by a woman and we were
given this wonderful film. And for that reason, what would
you say? Would you say, Oh my god, for how
uh for should you watch this? Or do you think
we should watch this shelter. If you say something else
with your.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Yes, girlies, have a gander, you absolutely can watch the
film Hustlers. I would say, should you watch this and
watch the film Hustlers and read the New York magazine
piece that it's inspired by.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Did you read it?
Speaker 2 (49:56):
I did? After watching the movie, I said, what? And
it's so much of it is like verbatim in that article.
Oh my gosh, so many lines that they say out
loud in the film came from real life things that
people real life said. Oh my gosh. It was really
(50:17):
it was very interesting. Wow. What would you say?
Speaker 1 (50:20):
Yes? I would also say, go ahead and watch this film.
I really really enjoyed it. I learned so much. I
thought it was very respectfully directed, and there's a lot
of respectful thought put into it. You know, there's like
if you feel it's very nuanced and I don't know,
(50:40):
it struck an amazing tone.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
It was quite artful. I just it was really good
and it was really good. I loved it. You should
watch it. Yeah, I had no idea I would love
it so much. I thought it was gonna be sort
of more just like fun and unserious. Yeah, just based
on the promos I saw at the time. I knew
nothing about it. Hm, but it's it's it's like The
Big Short. It's like it's like The Big Short plus Lozzo.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
And Cardi B and Kiki Palmer. Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
Jennifer Lopez, Leonna, what would you rate the film Hustlers?
Speaker 2 (51:14):
You know, I think I'm gonna give this movie five
gross little bugs out of five. I think I am.
I was gonna do four point five because the drugging
makes me so uncomfortable. But that's literally part of the
story and it's what happened in real life, and they
don't they don't glorify it in the movie.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
That's totally It's not like a heist movie where like,
hah ha, we drugged these silly boys.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sienna, how would you rate to the film?
Speaker 1 (51:50):
I too would rate the film five j Lo's out
of five. I'm sorry she's laid.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Yes she I Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:01):
I had a great time. I thought it was a
kay lovely movie. I'm so happy we watched it. I
had no idea. Honestly, what a winner.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
What a winner. I would watch it again.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
I would watch it again too. Yeah. Easily when she
takes her kid to school and she has blood on
her shirt.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
And my god, that's sequence. And did you notice how
there's no music that entire time.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (52:25):
She was just going through like the stress of like
motherhood exactly.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
It just felt like a stressful day of being a girl.
Just worked.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
It worked so well. Scorse Goodfellas try it with his
chaotic last day, but it doesn't like this. Actually I
thought that did it better.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
I absolutely think it was better.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
But that specific sequence, you know, like because in Goodfellas
he's like, oh my god, this day like was non
stopping crazy. But they're doing it very like over the
top music, great narration whatever, whereas this is like there's
no narration, there's no music. You're just seeing her like
have to go. You can be a mom.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
Feel her stress too, because you're like, yeah, there's her kid,
she has to get her kid to school after all this.
Speaker 2 (53:10):

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm Leana Holsten and I'm Sienna Jacob and welcome to
Tossed Popcorn, the podcast where two idiots watched every film
Oh my God 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 women
(00:36):
as Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This podcast is a safe space for people who don't
know anything about movies. Today we're watching Hustlers.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We gotta start thinking like Dad wall Street.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Guys, you see what they did to this country. Warning
there will be spoilers about this resourceful of film, modern film.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yah, Sienna, had you seen this before?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I had not? Had you me neither. No, I didn't
know what to expect.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Okay, well, hey, here's here's my prediction of what I
thought it was gonna be. Okay, I'd love to hear it. Hi, Sienna,
it's Leanna. I'm about to watch Hustlers, not gonna lie.
I have high hopes and expectations for this film. I
predict it's gonna be extremely slay. Oh baby, this is
(01:34):
Keithy Palmer. Love you. Bye.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I had no idea. I didn't know about like any
of the people in this movie. Oh except for j Lo.
I guess I knew, of course. Yeah, I don't know
what and you must. All right, well, let's listen to
my prediction and then I'll say more about what I thought,
because I guess I didn't.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Okay, put it all in there, all right.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Hi, Leanna, this is Sana. I'm about to watch Hustlers.
I remember. I think it's about stripping the art of
exotic dance. But as we know, it's directed by women,
so I'm looking forward to it. Maybe they'll hustle to
take people's money.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It sounds awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, I love you get back.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's like a book report. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I pictured it being more of like an ensemble film
with some like a yes, a bunch of a heist movie. Yeah,
a heist movie. But it was. It was different than
I thought, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't I
didn't have any expectations going in, but I don't think
I had high hopes because I just didn't. I didn't
(02:41):
know anything, and I was like, eh, we'll see it
was wonderful. Oh yay, God. I love when women make things.
I love women. I really love women. Yeah, well, Leonna,
before we get into the movie, Hey girl, hey girl,
it was just New Year's how's it going?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh good? We will have to discuss New Year's off,
Mike God. And other than that, I've submitted my visa
application again, okay, and I have not.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Slept since Okay, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I'm so scared. I'm so stressed. This is unbelievable. Couldn't
be Hi, No, I don't know where I'm gonna live
in ten weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
On the bright side, you've done so much since then,
so there's another world in which you try to do
it and you just try to like work with what
you'd already done and try to make it work. But girl,
you put on a one woman show and you got
it reviewd mama.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So that's that's just in the eighth I'm still jet lagged.
I've been very publicly jet lagged, to the point that
my friend was like, oh, yeah, no, I've I saw,
I saw I saw about that online that you have jetlag,
and I was like, maybe I should take it down
a nuts. But it's because I still am living alone
and I just crave connection. Well, it also and I
(04:16):
want to talk to someone. So I talked to everybody
via my Instagram stories.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Ah, that's what they're for.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
This is if Joe from Little Women's Sharona Addition had Instagram,
she'd be doing this.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That's what it is for. Though, when it's like, I
don't really saying I have jetlag to any of your friends,
even if you have friends that you can talk to
about other things, it's like to just say I have
jet lag, you know, we'll be like okay, okay, We're
like you want to tell me about it, and you're like,
I mean, I guess no, that's kind of it. So
I think there's some things that are supposed to are supposed.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To be to the ether, thank you. Yeah, so I've
been posting into the ether this week. Well.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Also then it was New Year's so you're supposed to
stay up late.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Well so I really forked it that way. I thought
I had one jet lag because I returned from America
on Sunday it's now Friday. On Sunday night, I slept
for ten hours straight because I took an American grade
sleeping pill and God bless and then on Monday I
was awake the whole day.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, I took a.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Nap, is that true?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Maybe I was? I was, and I got so much
done and I submitted my visa application. And then Monday
night I couldn't fall asleep until I took a sleeping
pill again, but it didn't work, and I was awake
until like one thirty or two in the morning.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And then Tuesday was New Year's Eve and I went
to bed at four thirty in the morning. No, no,
once you get paid, am I three eighteen? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh my. At that point, I was like, should I
just stay awake ye into the dawn? But it's the
UK in January, so the sunrise wasn't for another, you know,
ten hours, and then it lasted for like two hours,
and so I think I really forked myself. And now
I'm publicly online about having jet lag and that's okay,
(06:11):
thank you, thank you for your acceptance. Of course I
accept that often about my Instagram stories, I'm like, I'm
so annoying, and then I'm also like, I'm not gonna stop.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh I love your Instagram stories.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Thank god, Okay, thank you. I'm keeping that in mind.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I love them. What did you post you this day.
Oh my god, what you posted about those bow What
were they?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh? The bow buns. Sainsbury's did a party platter of
ice ice Bowbie penguin shaped bow buns and it was
the best, the best thing you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I love that so much? Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Thank goodness? Okay, just for you, Bibby Bowbie. Hey girl,
Hey girl, Happy New Year, Happy New Year.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I was just thinking, I've been really into muting people's
instagrams recently. Oh, muting Instagram stories and things, and it
makes everything so much better.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It's so powerful.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I am. Let's see, uh yeah, who have you muted? I? Yeah, okay,
let's talk about the people read the handles. I'm so
grateful to Instagram for introducing the mute features. It's so
cause it's like, I want to support you in this way.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I want to support it, be a follower. Yeah, but
I don't. I don't want to hear about you. Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The main thing I've been muting recently is I'm sorry
to my theater high school theater kid community. But with
oh no, when I know somebody who's like kind of
like a goofy goofster in real life and and this
is not to be shamey. I truly like think that
we all deserve to do a good portion of this.
But like when people are posting just like only thirst
(07:48):
traps and I know them as like a dorky person,
it it like it it makes me feel so weird
and intimate.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean it's like one thing of like a sleigh
photo every now and then. But I'm talking like like
I'm talking, I'm talking like they're wearing like some costume
with a weird hat. And then they're like because it's
just that theater side of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know what I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Do, I personally don't need to see this grind that
you're on. I support you, but I feel like I
shouldn't be seeing it. And you can't know what somebody's
Instagram feed is, you can't know that they're Yeah, because
some people are like I only want to post my beautiful,
cringey photos and like that's what my that's what my
Instagram is, and you deserve to do that. It's just
(08:38):
like we don't need to be participating in each.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Other's lives in that exact way.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, yeah, yes, especially when I don't know them. Well,
that's usually it is. It's like I know them as
like an acquaintance. Yeah, and I'm like, this is way
too much that I seeing all this whole.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah. So yeah, it's so much. Hole.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I've been doing a lot of muting.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yes, I had a lovely.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh that's great. Yeah. I was gonna say a little
segue speaking of seeing things that you're not sure you're
supposed to be seeing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It. Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, Gerlinsta, could you please give us a synopsis of
the film. I almost at the film Hey Girl. The
film Hey Girl basically girl. I would love to film Mustlers. Yes,
where are we notes Hustlers alternate title hate Girl Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, Hustlers. Destiny is the new girl at the club,
Ramona is the best. They team up and become two
best friends, breaking it in as strippers at this bougie nightclub.
And then the recession hits and all the Wall Street
guys who used to throw down for a lap dance
(09:57):
took off with everyone's money and let the luxury strip
club world to die. They have to get creative to
make a profit, and after trying to make ends meet
for a while, create a special ploy where they steal
Wall Street guy's money, using specifically a special drug mix
(10:19):
that they cook up to expedite the process of getting
into a client's wallet. Eventually they get sloppy and they
get caught. But most of the time, who are they hurting?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Really? The end slay.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
This is of course a movie with j Lo who
I'm sorry she ate Oh my god. I feel like
I mostly am just making fun of her in the
not me. I feel like we're most like, mainly in
the ether these days. We're kind of making fun of
her personalities. She's a cringy celebrity and that is very fun.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Sure, but she was what a performance.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I loved her.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
She's so strong, she.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is so gorgeous and amazing. She looks incredible. And then
her performance, I think that they were trying to say
that Ramona was kind of like a polarizing figure, who was,
you know, trying to get control whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I just really loved her.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I loved her so much. It's like she's slaves. She
loves her friends. She's so nice. She's so strong.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
She's stills to tell her core strength alone could could
lift mountains. I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I don't know how her body does any of what
it was doing anyway. Wow, Well, Leanna, I'd love to
get into our phone notes about this film and just
talk about it, because Wow, what a film.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Who this is?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Of course the segment of phone notes where we talk
about the notes we took on our phones while watching
the movies separately. Uh, Leanna, you said, Okay, omg, I
met the president of st Films once.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Lol. Lol. I don't think I signed an NDA about
this or anything, so I think I'm allowed to talk
about it. Let's hear it, but I'll keep it a
little vague. Basically, on a I was, I was, you
(12:21):
know what, I'll just tell you all the details. It
was a school trip. It was the Stanford spring break
trip to LA where you do meetings with like alums
in the industry. And somehow we got connected with somebody
at STX Entertainment who was like high up and shock
a man. And I think somebody asked him like, hey,
(12:43):
kind of all of the movies in your slate this
year are directed by men and about men, like it's
mainly men, And his answer was so garbage. I think
he literally said I have to daughters. At one point.
That was mentioned and oh, men aren't smart enough to
(13:07):
watch movies about women, so we have to make dumb
films for men.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Okay, I'm so glad that we watched this movie so
that I don't have to think about that too much.
Yep yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Is so up And maybe they've turned a new leaf,
you know, via that.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Was such a historically bad response that they're like, Okay,
maybe we should make this movie that.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Like, I guess we have to make hustlers now because
that guy flapped so hard in that group meeting.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You don't know what I was thinking. Again, I thought
it was gonna be like a fun heist movie. Yeah,
I didn't know it was about like the specific situation,
about some really I some really deep characters and everything.
I don't It's one of those things where I feel
like the advertising was probably about way more about the
stripping and everything, because that makes sense. It'll get people
(13:51):
in the scenes. But it wasn't all about that. I mean,
that was what they did, but like, it wasn't all
I thought it was gonna be more like I'll show
you the ropes of how to Pull Dance, which is
and was so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but it was.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Mainly just seeing these women's lives, and it was so
clearly directed by a woman. I I kind of I
could try to explain it, but watching it is the best.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Your first note does a good job. Your first note
is this is definition of necessary boob and somehow none
of it feels exploitative at all. So true. And then
you wrote there is something wrong with men.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
There were certain times today where I was watching last night,
when I was watching it, where I was like, what
is wrong with them? Because this feels so good to watch.
There are women who are topless because that's their job.
But yeah, there's nothing about it that is that is
ogling them agling. Yeah, let me forget figure.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Out what I always saying. But I love when you say.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Think it's either but that's ogling them and them and uh,
you know, oh make presenting them like some object for
our viewing. It wasn't like that at all. And just
to see so easily just where you hold the camera,
making it feel completely different. I'm like, yeah, you go
to these like where you were where they were talking
(15:15):
to the STX man and he's like, it's really hard,
it's complex. It's hard to make movies blah, I have
two daughters. It's impossible to make. And then you just
see a woman take it, take the camera and take
two steps back, and it's a completely different movie. That
feels way yea, it's like you chose to do this.
Something is going on with your head very round, So
why do we just keep giving the cameras anyway, it was,
(15:38):
it was. I just had a great time watching this film.
It was sounding so much.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Fun, just like Wall Street in two thousand and eight.
We got a crash, but just for three minutes. They'll
be back very soon after these messages. Oh yeah, And
(16:03):
speaking of.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Men being awful, you said men are so scary.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
All of the shots of men at the club and
like egging each other on, and just the way that
they felt like entitled two.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Women's Bodies was all very scary. This I'm sorry, guys,
this movie was so good. The I love movies that
portray men as gross little bugs because that is the
female gaze.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That is another genre on the list.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
What's so funny We.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Had from the AFI list like this Guy is the
Best or White Boys in the Desert, And now with
films directed by non men, we have men as gross
little bugs.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Which is like the subsys like that you know in
a show when they will portray something, when there'll be
a scene where a character is imagining something in a
really cinematic way, and then we kind of zoom out
and we see that they're actually just in real life
being completely not cinematic and maybe just like staring at
something and they look like a gross person. I feel
(17:21):
like that's the difference between men making movies and women
making movies is especially when it's about something sexual. Yeah,
these sex sex scenes that really popular sex scenes that
men will make will be like, you know, really sexy
working towards a climax, gross like close ups on whatever
(17:43):
following the ladies boobs, and then the movie made by
a woman about the same sexual interaction is like a
zoom out where you just see the guys going, which
is what movies.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Like this are.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, where it's just they show some to the guys
just staring yes or having trying to uh, trying to
pay for these women trying to buy them stuff even
though they're like knocked out, just like anyway, It's so
refreshing and I love it so much. Yeah, that's the
(18:18):
female gays right there, is seeing men be incredibly embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
They're so Oh Sienna, you wrote, O MG, she's doing pilates.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, did this make you want to learn the art
of pole at all?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
No, because I bruise so easily and I'm not that
comfortable seeing my that much of my body.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I it's it's tough because I completely understand why you
would never ever do that. But also, at the same time,
I think you'd be amazing at it because you both
have dancer training and you're incredibly.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Strong and fit.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Don't you think you might actually be incredible at it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's one of those things where God has gifted me
the skills, the ability to do something I will never do.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Totally.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
So hard, it looks so hard. It looks so hard hard.
I think you could do it, though, I do, I
think you could do it. You're the strongest person I know.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh my God, thank you. That almost means a lot.
But I know the people that you know. I guess kel.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh, not that you're freakishly strong.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, I love it. I don't think would you if
you could? Would you? Would you?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The reason I would you would because that that would
mean that I was so strong.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I would love that. But what I would really love
to do is that the one where she goes flat. Yes,
it's like called table or something. This movie is she's
completely horizontal. She was being so supportive that scene. There
are so many scenes.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Some scenes that I loved so much that I didn't
even process as being unique. Were, for example, Jaylo teaching
her to pole dance and she kept just going like
Destiny kept going, I don't think I can do that,
and Jaylo's like.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
You can't. You can totally do it. Yeah, oh, you
can totally do it. You're gonna do this, you.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Can do it. It was just supportive.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
This is really a movie about female friendship.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
It that's what I wrote. Later, I was like, I
had no idea, this was just the best friends movie. Yeah,
oh my god, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
This is so true, Siena. You wrote this movie is
so of the time. It's like the Big Short plus Lizzo. Yeah,
oh my god, that's literally what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I thought that was really funny. It took me a
while to realize also that they were playing songs from
the era that it was supposed to be in the world, like,
for example, this is kind of unrelated, but when they
were playing that Fiona Apple song right when Criminal, right
when Jalo came out. I thought that was so funny
to do to strip to Fiona Apple. But I guess
that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I did not know that was Fiona Apple. Do you
want to hear the only thing I know about Fiona Apple?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh my gosh. I don't know how you're gonna feel
about this. This is for actualy friend of the pod.
We watched the entirety of the Lord of the Rings
cinematic universe together and one of what we were watching
was The Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power
on Amazon Prime, of course, and at the end of
one of the episodes of season two or maybe season one,
at the end of one of the episodes in the show,
(21:43):
for some reason, he pressed play one day and it
started at the credits instead of at the beginning of
the episode, and the credits were playing a Fiona Apple
song where she turned the poem from The Lord of
(22:03):
the Rings into a song. So it went.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Threeing for the Elven Kings and we were thrown back
into the count and it's an entire tune.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's on Spotify to rule them all. This is how
it goes.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
One Ring too fine and bind.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
There your express I'm gonna keep go. Okay, one ring
to this is the exact pace of I can completely imagining.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Them all and in the darkness, bind them.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
That's all I know about Fila Apple.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That is so funny, Leanna, you said it is so
funny that Usher is in this.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my god, I was laughing so much. I couldn't
stop laughing.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I just so many good things happen in this movie.
I know things were hard, but like also like they've
just had a good time, Like Usher was having a
good time.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
They were having girls, they had the which it was
so much fun. When Usher was there, what's your name
to Usher? He goes, Usher baby, and everyone laughs, including me.
For a one split second at the beginning of that,
I was like, why did Usher agree to be in this?
And then they made the world look like the happiest
(23:36):
place on earth because Usher was there, and I was like,
I understand why Usher wanted to why Usher agreed to
do this. It was like the sun shone out of
his hole, you know, and maybe it does you know why.
That's the magic of Usher.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
And in that moment, I was like, yeah, she's a
talented boy.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Is it is? The end of you wrote, I'm a
great time, as was everybody else with Usher.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I was having a great time watching.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I still can't believe Usher was in this. It was
so great, what a dream role, so fun. The role
that they gave Usher was you enter a space and
what makes everyone's day. It is the best moment of
everyone's life. Everybody were there is happy.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
They need to show what the opposite of the recession was,
and the opposite was when Usher is Usher one day.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Usher is the opposite of the two thousand and eight
stock market crash.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Leanna, you said, I personally would not have had that baby.
Oh I would not have had the baby.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, yeah, just me personally, I wouldn't have. But you know,
to each their own is what we hope the law
would remain.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Again, another wonderful thing about this movie. The man who
she's with we only see for like two seconds.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, let's get into this. Because Sianna, you
wrote hurts No one builds the economy. I knew that
this was about scamming. I did not know this movie
was also about drugging them. And I was like, oh,
(25:28):
I slay, I know, I know, which is kind of
what the movie is saying they're kind of like they're
kind of like, sorry, you were drugging them, and they're like,
it's not a big deal. Yeah, everybody is doing that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
But I think they did a good job of not
saying that that was a good thing and also not
saying it was, uh, the most condemnable thing in the world, because,
for example, when they were later, like some of these
guys kept going back yes, because they just were like, yeah,
I was having a good time. I'm used to getting
(26:03):
black out drunk, and I really like feel powerful when
I spend a lot of money on yeah, people who
are at my wife.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Right, And it is the thing of like they didn't
harm them physically, They simply ran up their credit cards
a lot. Yeah, they I think I think what unsettled
me so much about it is that that concept of
like drugging someone and like taking taking power from them
totally in terms of like bodily autonomy. Totally rob a
(26:28):
rich man from Wall Street any day, any any morning
you wake up, you you rob a rich man from
Wall Street, Absolutely go ahead and do that. It was
more the uh yeah, yeah, the drugging part was Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Was crazy, and there was a lot of nuance they
were uncomfortable with it, and or some of them were
uncomfortable with it.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And oh my god, Leie Beinhardt's characters thing of she
just always throws up was so funny.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know why that happens. Yeah,
I think they did an effective job of sort of
hmm making us think about the nuance there, because definitely
it was wrong and it's weird because it I don't know,
not to get dark, but they were like drugging these
(27:16):
people so as not to have to do sexual things
with them, right, which I'm not saying is right. It's
just like so it's like the difference. It's like the
women's side, you know, of trying to get you know,
but yeah, they were. And that guy who's like, please
you you took everything from me, Please don't do that, Leanna,
(27:40):
you said my fiance became my wife. Men forgetting to
tell you that they have a girlfriend during an hour
long intimate conversation. My god, that is so funny. That
is so funny. That was completely that vibe.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Became my wife is the most unhinged way of saying
were married. Why can't they just be upfront about it?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I uh, the thing about my fiance is the.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Matter with them. I will never I will never forget
the Halloween party. Oh no, the birthday party where I
spoke intimately with a man for thirty minutes and then
he stood up and kissed a woman on the mouth
and said, nice to see you. I said, what where
(28:29):
am I? And why is it? In hell?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Kissed her all the mouth? Wow, Lehanna, you said an
iPhone four s omg.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Wait, this was a period piece. It was a period piece,
but also not that long ago. There is no reason
we need to be on the iPhone sixteen when the
iPhone four S was coming out like twenty thirteen perfectly.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, why are we? It's too much?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
What the f planned? Obsolescence gets me so riled up.
I get so bad just thinking about it. Oh my gosh,
I had no idea. Oh it pisses me up so much.
Just make things that last, not that we have to
throw away in two years. It kills the planet, it
kills our wallets. It's horrendous for humanity. Stop doing it.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Stop it. It really is, it really is.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's sad.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Anyway, Leanna, you said, I love this chihuahua who has
one foot in the grave. That dog was so.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Small, Yeah, I like potato.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Wanting to hold it in my hands. You do look
because it looks like the size of a hamster. Yeah,
it was amazing, and it was so dead in the eyes.
It was just clinging to life, and I loved it.
If you'll excuse me, Jalo needs to go show me
some moves on the pole and I kind of just
need to kind of spend the rest of the day
(29:59):
doing that because I think.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It's going to be kind of life changing for me.
We'll be right.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Back, Leanna, you said you said what a boob?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Who said what a boob? I love a stereotypical New
York cop going what a boob?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
What a boob?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
What a boob? A boob?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I really like the end of the movie when they
both were like, this is really wrong what you've been doing.
You know, I'm really The journalist is like, yeah, I'm
really focused on the drugging part because that's crazy, and
all the cops are like, I can't believe these guys
fell for that.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh my god, what a boob?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Like they had less and even Destiny is like I
feel horrible about this, Like, yeah, it felt like nothing
but now I feel like.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
A lot of regret and whatever what a boob said.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
The policemen are just like.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Lol boob.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
No guys would even tell us that it happened to
them because they were too embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Or a bunch of boobs, bunch of booms. I just
I love boob as an insult. I think it's so funny.
I wish it wasn't tied to boobs. I wonder which
came first, the boob or.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
The boobs boo probably boom boom. But you know that boners,
you know that. You know that boner used to mean
like a mistake, like a mistake.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Still does am I right, ladies?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, and I love that that became. I got a boner,
I got a mistake, mistake, my body made a mistake.
I have a huge mistake. Leona, you've said a cab
as hell.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Oh my god, when they were like, think of your daughter,
like when the cops were pressuring her into taking a deal.
M yes, they broke the law, but also.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
A camp a caab. Yeah, there's a lot of things
going on at once.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This movie was kind of nailing it across the board
in terms of its portrayals of everybody.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I completely agree. I completely agree, Leanna. You've said, who
is Dorothy?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Who's Dorothy? Had a photo in her wallet at the
end where she was like, oh that's Dorothy. Who could
who could ever? Leave her? And I was like, is
she talking about destiny?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I guess it's destiny. But I didn't know her. Yeah,
I didn't realize. I didn't get that either.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, me neither. She literally never called her that because
then she responded to it as if it was a
photo of her like that. Her emotional response was such
a high level, So I was like, well, I think
it's about her. Yeah, I don't think it's just like
somebody else for me a while too, But who is that?
Who is that? Yeah? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Well, do you want to move on to badgis and
trages because I have a lot of things to say,
but a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I have gosh, so many. Yes, Hello everyone, This is
our segment Badges and Tradges, where we award badges for
bodying these numbers, these dance numbers, and tradges for tricking people.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, for tricking people without their consent. Yeah you don't
like that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Okay, you may trick me, but you must tell me.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
First, you must tell me.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You have to I have to, and then you can
trick me. I am willing to be tricked.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I have a badge for eyeshadow. Oh, my gosh, don't
get me started. I make this.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I have a badge for body glitter. I love body
glitter when you put a lotion on it and it's glittery.
I usually there's never a circumstance in my life where
that's applicable.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, maybe if you start the dancing like I suggested,
Well when you pole dance, which I know you will,
there are inevitable there are moments in movies like that,
so pale.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Imagine me under those lights. You would be brighter than
people would go blind, brighter than ever. You're like, they
wouldn't be able to tip because they can't see anything.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
She's like a new color. She's the absence of.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Where is she?
Speaker 1 (34:40):
There are some things in movies like this that are
made by women where there are just lines where I'm like,
I never have heard a line like that in my
entire life of watching movies, even if it's just completely simple,
like for example, they said at one point, she said,
you know I loved this time basically what you're saying
before the recession hit. I loved this time dancing. It
was so glamorous and cool. Yeah, and like I'm sure
(35:04):
that is exactly what it felt like, you know, like
as simple as that, we're just girls out here. It
was so glamorous and cool. It felt great. I'd never
hear that in a sex movie by a man.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know what I mean? Yes, totally, like they're like,
we were banging broads right and left. We had a
boner every day.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I had a boner every day.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Badge for the line I'm really blown away by your penmanship. Seriously,
you could be a fond. I loved a that line
and b that concept turning your own handwriting into a fond.
I want to do that.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Why aren't we doing That's a new thing.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I learned. Badge for the dances some of the Jalob
does her dance My job, My god, my mouth was
I was a gape.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
My mouth was a gap. I couldn't believe it. I
just couldn't believe it. A badge for the stock market crash.
Hear me out, Okay. I was excited because it was
a historical context. This suddenly became a work of historical fiction,
and I said, oh my god, that's right. Of course
this will have massive ramifications for the plot of this film,
(36:19):
this historical event.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
I had no idea that's what this.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, when that happened, I didn't know what was going
at all.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
And then I was like, oh, go learn something. Love
Badge for all the microphone stuff they did because it
was a reporter and a magazine.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
L yeah, yeah, that was cool, like sound design.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
And stuff like when they turn off the mic you
can't hear it for a while, or when she's wearing
the wire.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Oh yes, yes, Oh could you bring the drugs? Shut up?
Oh a badge for do you need to get that?
About a baby? Is so funny, that's so you. Yeah
it is. There's a baby making sounds. Do you need
to do? You need to get that.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Badge for a Besties movie? This is my next.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Badge is female friendship is so important.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
It's like you can always stay with us because I
loved her.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
There was so much care being taken of others. Yep.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, their family photo when they're all doing Christmas together.
Come on, stop Badge for I loved the last line
of this movie.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Oh, yes, did you write it down? Because I know
I loved it and I can't remember it at all.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Let's see Jayla's talking about how the world is like
a strip club. Strip club. She said, it's all a
strip club. You have people tossing the money and the
people doing the dance. That is so true. That is
so true. M Oh my gosh. Right now when nobody
can figure out how to make money and get a
job and economy, and there's this weird attention culture and
(37:48):
we can't figure out if art is just to get
to distract people or if it's supposed to move you.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yes, I should just send you a song. I have
to send you a song I've heard this week.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Oh my gosh, I want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
My next badge is Constance wu Is doing a really
good job. Yes, oh my gosh. The acting, especially in
these interview scenes, she was so good.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yeah. I loved her. I loved her. Everybody in this
movie was so gorgeous. Oh, I guess my final badge
is for the end dance at the very end. This
is also how you can tell it's me about a girl.
At the very end, they're like okay girls, and they
(38:31):
just all do a dance together at the very end
because they were friends that movie.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
I thought it was gonna be them at the club,
like dancing in their club costume.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Me too, but they were just at home. They're at
home in their clothes.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Oh my god. Women.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
The movie ends with first, you know, they're thinking about like, yeah,
these women got punished, but then it shows like it
does a whole pan across all these men just watching
these women dance and just like makes you think about
like what but what is this and all the power
that men have or think they have for power dynamics
in our in our world. And then and then Jaylo
hits it with the best last line ever and then
(39:07):
they do a dance together. I'm sorry, Triple Threat perfect.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, my last badge is Jlo is so good in.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
This I'm sorry. She was amazing. I oh my god,
had no idea. I completely get the hype and I
love her.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Trages.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Trag is a trage for people with penises. Must be
so embarrassed, please say more. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I just.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Men having the world built for and by and around
them and creating this culture, like yes, people have reclaimed
dancing at clubs and pole dancing. Yeah, but but also
it is an invention of the patriarchy so very much,
(40:05):
and it's the biggest boner of all.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
The biggest boner the patriarchy.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
And just yeah, and I know that men, like the
behavior of men that was exhibited in this movie still
rampantly exists totally in real life. And see why are
you not in bars?
Speaker 1 (40:25):
At some point you get mad because you're like before
there was at least this like contract between the dancers
and the people there, and like they'll give money for
you dancing for them in this way, but there was
like that boundary and then that those boundaries kind of
crashed down when people were desperate in the recession. And yeah,
(40:46):
I don't know, but yeah, exactly like you said, like
people have reclaimed it, but it's catering to this disgusting Yeah,
Like it's because it's meeting a need and it's powerfully
meeting a need, but that not in need a demand
that and that demand is something that is like disrespectful and.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, very patriarchal.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Anyway, trage for saying nothing as a response, I hate
this in any movie, and every movie does it because
movies are trying to save time. But there were at
least one moment. There's at least one moment where somebody
asks something and the response is just like not to
respond and they figure out what they mean. But never
have I been talking to a friend and I'm like, so,
(41:27):
how did it go? And they say nothing and look
at me, and I go.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
No, why did they tell me?
Speaker 1 (41:35):
I would be like, I would be.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Like, what huh what happened?
Speaker 5 (41:40):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (41:41):
What tell me specifically what happened?
Speaker 1 (41:44):
But anyway, it's a movie, so you know.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, trage for this Little Purse seems inconvenient with Destiny
always has a tiny little purse with her at the club,
and I think it's where she keeps the cash that
she makes. Uh huh, but that's gonna fall off your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Wow, I didn't notice that. God, I love her. Oh
my final trage. Yeah, though hopefully you covered trages about
the drugging and things, because I didn't write it down.
But trag for trage for Jlo's flat hair in the
(42:23):
final scene they do to make it look like time
has passed. This whole movie is so gorgeous, and then
they make it just so flat. On her head. She's
working in an office. Now, it was so cruel. Why
you gotta do that?
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Offices do flatten your hair along with your spirit. It
is true, looks worse than after a day at the office.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
It just does something.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I look so ugly there. I don't know what happens.
My final trag is trage for not as fun as
a heist movie, because I thought it was just gonna
be like Shenanigan, Yeah, and like getting one over on
these these powerful, yeah misogynists, and it was, but then
it also was drugging people and taking away their bodily autonomy,
(43:12):
and I.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Was like, ah yeah, and also yeah, it's hard to
watch them get sloppier and and go for people who
not deserve it less but are less like inclined to
even be partying with them in that way because before
they're like, these are the people who are going to
get like so drunk that it feels like it's basically
the same thing, which again is still completely wrong. But
(43:37):
the logic, I mean, it's like anything where you're making
money or you know you're doing something wrong, where it
just the boundaries, it the slope it.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Slips mm hm, oh, yes, let's let's dance into our
next segment. How to pretend you've seen this film? This
is for you are oh, you are seeing Usher uh
(44:09):
huh in concert and you are dancing and living, laughing
and loving it up. And and Doug was like nice, right?
Was there like a Brian or something? God another badge
that I can't remember a name of a single man
in the film.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
I can't remember any of them.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
I love that well. I guess Doug.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Sorry, Doug comes on you. You dance good, you could
strip you know you?
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Oh okay?
Speaker 1 (44:49):
And you say what.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
And in order to kick Doug with a six inch heel,
a six inch platform stiletto right in the chest. We're
gonna give you He didn't even bring up the film,
but we're just we're going right to it because that
was crazy. We're gonna give you a few sentences you
can say to inform Doug. You have seen the film Hustlers.
(45:16):
Doug A, I've seen the film Hustlers and b my penship,
my penmanship is so good it could be a font.
So I don't need to be talking to you right
now or ever.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yes, Doug, I have seen the film. I can never
remember the name of the movie would have said this. Yes, Doug,
I have seen the film Hustlers. Fun fact. Uh the
writer and director uh Loreen Skafaria. I think Lauren sure
Loraine Loraine Stafaria. She wrote Usher into the script but
wasn't sure to be interested. But happily he was interested
(45:54):
and even brought his own chain shades and jacket from
that era to the scene.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Isn't that cute?
Speaker 1 (46:00):
I'm gonna bring a few thousand and seven clothes.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Oh my god, it's so cute. Oh Usher, ah Ussuerre.
I love that, Doug. I've seen Hustlers and there is
a scene in it that is so goddamn real, which
is when Destiny is at a job interview and she says,
how am I supposed to get experience without having experienced?
(46:26):
My god, because that was a free job in the world.
During the interview process, says well, have you done this
specific job before, because we're only looking for someone who's
done this specific job before. And you're like, how am
I supposed to have done this specific job before? If
you won't give me this specific job, that was because
I haven't done it before?
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Triggering? Who that is so triggering? Yes, Doug, I have
seen the film Hustlers. This film was shot in only
twenty nine days and was a pretty low budget film. Whoa,
I didn't have known any of that. It was really
really good and like, oh my god, they did an
amazing job.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Wow, sleigh.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
It seems like movies made by women are often really
fun to make.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah, h Doug tries to sidle up to me during
the Usher Content concert, and I turned to my girly
pal next to me and I say, I look at
I gesture I not over to Doug, and I say, oh,
what a boob? What a boob? What a boob? What
(47:37):
a boob? In movies made by men, when they say that,
they're talking about a literal boob. But in movies made
by women, when they say what a boob, they're talking
about idiot men.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
This is the funniest fact. This is such a fraught fact.
M Yes, yes, Doug, I have seen the film Hustlers.
Apparently Martin Scorsese passed on directing the film, okay. Lorene
(48:19):
Scafario wrote this movie though, and she also directed it,
so I don't know if she was like, maybe this
guy should direct it, right, I don't know how that happened,
but all I can say is, thank god, this is
not the movie for him.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
I don't know. I'm trembling with the weight of that.
I need to find Wow, isn't it would be I
would watch a sketch, comedy sketch. I would watch a
comedy sketch that's Scorsese's cut of Hustlers, because it would
be so absurd. That is so fun and annoying. Yeah, okay,
(48:54):
but they'll just have like a giant Italian meal at
some point.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Uh huh. I think it was. That's so true. I
think it's because like it was one of those fast paced,
like trying to talk about a certain era. So they're
kind of doing yeah Fellas, They're like, what if.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
We do that? Yeah, Goodfellas the Big Short plus Lizzo.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
Yeah, and then that would have just been so much
more boob.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
I'm so happy this didn't happen. Oh, thank god, I
don't want to kind that's huge glasses, Yeah, ogling with
those huge glasses. M well, Leanna.
Speaker 1 (49:30):
Thankfully it was directed by a woman and we were
given this wonderful film. And for that reason, what would
you say? Would you say, Oh my god, for how
uh for should you watch this? Or do you think
we should watch this shelter. If you say something else
with your.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Yes, girlies, have a gander, you absolutely can watch the
film Hustlers. I would say, should you watch this and
watch the film Hustlers and read the New York magazine
piece that it's inspired by.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Did you read it?
Speaker 2 (49:56):
I did? After watching the movie, I said, what? And
it's so much of it is like verbatim in that article.
Oh my gosh, so many lines that they say out
loud in the film came from real life things that
people real life said. Oh my gosh. It was really
(50:17):
it was very interesting. Wow. What would you say?
Speaker 1 (50:20):
Yes? I would also say, go ahead and watch this film.
I really really enjoyed it. I learned so much. I
thought it was very respectfully directed, and there's a lot
of respectful thought put into it. You know, there's like
if you feel it's very nuanced and I don't know,
(50:40):
it struck an amazing tone.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
It was quite artful. I just it was really good
and it was really good. I loved it. You should
watch it. Yeah, I had no idea I would love
it so much. I thought it was gonna be sort
of more just like fun and unserious. Yeah, just based
on the promos I saw at the time. I knew
nothing about it. Hm, but it's it's it's like The
Big Short. It's like it's like The Big Short plus Lozzo.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
And Cardi B and Kiki Palmer. Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
Jennifer Lopez, Leonna, what would you rate the film Hustlers?
Speaker 2 (51:14):
You know, I think I'm gonna give this movie five
gross little bugs out of five. I think I am.
I was gonna do four point five because the drugging
makes me so uncomfortable. But that's literally part of the
story and it's what happened in real life, and they
don't they don't glorify it in the movie.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
That's totally It's not like a heist movie where like,
hah ha, we drugged these silly boys.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sienna, how would you rate to the film?
Speaker 1 (51:50):
I too would rate the film five j Lo's out
of five. I'm sorry she's laid.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Yes she I Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:01):
I had a great time. I thought it was a
kay lovely movie. I'm so happy we watched it. I
had no idea. Honestly, what a winner.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
What a winner. I would watch it again.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
I would watch it again too. Yeah. Easily when she
takes her kid to school and she has blood on
her shirt.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
And my god, that's sequence. And did you notice how
there's no music that entire time.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (52:25):
She was just going through like the stress of like
motherhood exactly.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
It just felt like a stressful day of being a girl.
Just worked.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
It worked so well. Scorse Goodfellas try it with his
chaotic last day, but it doesn't like this. Actually I
thought that did it better.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
I absolutely think it was better.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
But that specific sequence, you know, like because in Goodfellas
he's like, oh my god, this day like was non
stopping crazy. But they're doing it very like over the
top music, great narration whatever, whereas this is like there's
no narration, there's no music. You're just seeing her like
have to go. You can be a mom.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
Feel her stress too, because you're like, yeah, there's her kid,
she has to get her kid to school after all this.
