Romance vs Reality: What Movies & TV Get Wrong About Love

From Nollywood first loves to anime and Hollywood romcoms — Faith and Uchenna unpack the four pillars of on-screen romance and what they get right (and wrong).

Love isn’t just one thing it’s messy, ideal, material, funny, fleeting, and forever. But when movies, anime, and TV sell us love stories, are they showing us truth… or selling us fantasy?

In Episode 48 of Our Isekai:

• First Loves — Nollywood’s Romantic Attraction & Ghibli’s Whisper of the Heart.

• Pillar 1: Idealised Romance (Your Name, The Notebook, Bridgerton) — soulmates, grand gestures, and impossible expectations.

• Pillar 2: Messy Situationships (500 Days of Summer, Fleabag, Nana) — heartbreak, limbo, and toxic “almost” love.

• Pillar 3: Materialist Romances (Materialists, Crazy Rich Asians, Pretty Woman) — love shaped by money, class, and ambition.

• Pillar 4: OG Romcoms (When Harry Met Sally, Notting Hill, 10 Things I Hate About You) — banter, awkwardness, family chaos, and the fast-forwarded happily-ever-after.

We discuss:

We debate: 👉 Do idealised romances harm expectations more than they help? 👉 Are “messy” stories relatable — or just depressing? 👉 Do money-and-status romances reflect dating today more honestly than we want to admit? 👉 Which romcom trope feels the most real — and which is the biggest lie?

PLUS: 📰 WENS (World Entertainment News Segment) — rap beefs, Dave’s album, Boruto drama, Taylor’s Bar album, Kanye betrayals & more. 📚 Books of the Week — The Cows (Dawn O’Porter), How to Kill Men and Get Away with It (Katy Brent), Married Lovers (Jackie Collins). 🔥 Versus & Red Light, Green Light — Judging famous couples from Ross & Rachel to Naruto & Hinata.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Maybe the truth is that love isn't just one thing, right?
It's, it's messy and it's ideal and it's material and it's funny and it's fleeting and it's forever.
Um, that's why we keep watching and we keep having and we keep putting our emotions into these films.
Because even when the film exaggerates, they still capture what makes us feel like we're living in a story.

(00:22):
And, and I think that that's, that's quite magical.
This is being said by someone who goes bleh-bleh when people are being all lovey-dovey, by the way.
.9999999999927Welcome back to Our Isekai.
I am your overpowered MC, Uchenna.
And I am Faith, as always.

(00:44):
Ooh, ready.
.9999999999927On this episode, let me go to my notes because I have them moved.
We're gonna have our main topic, then we're gonna go into
.9999999999927Are you doing book of the week this week?
Yes.
Yeah, we, we've got
.9999999999927It's, it's a full episode.

(01:05):
Um, right.

Okay, so we've got, um, the main quest, which is Romance (01:07):
What Television Gets Wrong and What They Get Right.
And then we have, uh, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, the
Um, so newsfeed, I've changed that to World Entertainment News Segment, very One Piece.

(01:27):
Newsfeed?
Yeah.
Which section am I looking at?
I've changed it to Big News Morgan, a la One Piece, the news guy in One Piece.
I haven't got that far in the series yet.
Uh
You should have.
I haven't watched anime for 3 weeks.
No, fair play.
No, that's fine.
Um, but yeah, that's, that's what I've named the newsfeed, renamed it as.

(01:51):
I thought it was a cute ode to, to One Piece.
And then I've got book of the week, um, and then anime hot takes.
I do not have any, so this is all on, all on Faith.
Uh, and then we've got Versus, and then we've got Red Light, Green Light.
so it's a full episode.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay, so how television has shaped our romance or, yeah, how fiction has shaped romance.

(02:15):
What was your first romance, either drama, anime, whatever?
What was your first romance that you witnessed or say just watched?
I, I don't think I can remember the first one I ever watched or that I ever experienced, but I do remember one that leaves quite a big
or that left quite a big, um, impact on me at the time.
It was called Romantic Attraction, Nollywood, RMD, uh, Stella Damascus and, uh

(02:40):
Oh, what's that lady's name?
Hmm.
Genevieve Nnaji.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
It's about a ͞Rajeev 0:03:36.000 who had a child.
Um, obviously his wife passed away, who was Stella Damascus.
And then he's met his teacher's, his daughter's teacher's
No, his daughter's teacher, who is Genevieve, and they're falling in love really slowly and, um, it was, it was actually

(03:03):
For the time it was, it was- Mm-hmm.
it was quite interesting.
I think old Nollywood did romance quite well, obviously mixed with misogyny and whatnot.
But I think romance, they captured the essence.
It was very complicated.
It was very nuanced.
Um, it wasn't as shallow as I think a lot of them
Not, not most of them, but, but a lot of them tend to be these days.

(03:25):
Um, but yeah, I think that was
How about you?
What was your experience?
What was like a first- I think my first experience would be with a Ghibli movie, specifically
Let me kly- clarify, Whisper Of The Heart.
Okay.
Okay?
So Whisper Of The
It's like a s-
It's like a school romance sort of thing.
So it follows a girl.
She has a crush on a guy.
Right.
And this guy is
They're similar age.
They
She becomes like a book pal with him.

(03:47):
So her dad works in the library, so during s- um, school holidays, she reads quite a lot of books because her dad works in the library.
So she's like, going back there.
Borrowing the books.
Yeah.
And then she sees Seiji Amasawa.
Who is this boy who stamped their library c- card before me?
Because obviously she's there all the time.
Oh, so he got there before her?
Yeah.
Interesting.
So she's like on this quest trying to find Seiji Amasawa to see why she

(04:08):
He beat her to this one specific book.
Come on, girl, you read 10 other books.
Why is it 6-
instead of one?
.0000000000291Why does he have to outsmart
Well, because some things we fi- fixate on, yeah.
Yeah.
And apparently he was like, "Well, I was going through "
He was like, "I was going through your track record and this was gonna be your next book, and I wanted you to notice me, so I read the book."
And it's such a cute romance.
.0000000000582It's about

(04:29):
So he's a violinist, and she doesn't know where he wants, she wants to go.
So they're, they're about to graduate school.
He gets his parents to sign off for him to go to Italy so he can learn how to play, play and make a violin professionally in Italy.
Okay.
And then she's like, "What am I gonna do?
Seiji's gone.
I have no ambition.
I have no goals."
Who's Seiji?

(04:50):
Seiji, so that's the boy who stamped his card- Right.
before she did.
.0000000000582Okay.
And then Seiji, Seiji and Masao's grandfather was like, "You like to read.
Write a book.
Write a book.
By the time Seiji comes back here, then you can present with him something that you've done yourself."
Right.
And then he does.
He comes back and he throws a stone at her on her bedroom window, like, "I've returned."

(05:11):
Right.
Um, it's romance in the sense that it is very cute.
It's platonic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not platonic though, because they do actually- Oh, okay.
like each other.
Okay.
But it's young love?
Is that- It's, it's young love.
Okay.
But I think it's like my perspective, like if someone wants to grow with you, they will grow with you.
Right, if it's mutual.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Especially because, like I said, it's a school romance sort of thing.
Yeah.
So I was like, "That's a good message to, to share with people."

(05:33):
To share to, especially to young kids- Yeah.
people who are very impressionable, yeah.
Exactly, so I really li-
Apart, apart from romance, I liked the actual storyline itself.
Itself, yeah.
So yeah, that was the, that was my first recollection of romance.
And it made an impact on you?
Yeah.
Good.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Right, so here's the thing, right?
Everywhere we look, left, right, center, TikTok, Instagram, on television, right, it tells wh- someone somewhere is telling us a r- a romance story, right?

(05:58):
From realistic TV shows, to films, to television series, to everything.
Um-
uh, well, the films like The Notebook, 500 Days of Summer, the new Materialist film, right?
It's all romance in different, different aspects.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and in a way, we've all kind of absorbed the romance that television shows us, right?
So what we're gonna kinda talk about is what versions we've kind of absorbed.

(06:23):
And the question, I guess, that we're asking is do the story actually tell the story of relationships right or realistic enough for us, right?
Okay.
Or is television just selling us a fantasy?
I don't think it's selling us a fantasy.
I think there is a fantasy towards it.
Yeah.
But the emotions of love themself, I don't think they can- Okay.

(06:44):
fake that.
So we'll start with 4 pillars of onscreen love.
Okay.
That I've researched, that I saw.
So there's the idealist romance, right?
So the example, Your Name.
You're like, okay.
Yeah?
The Notebook, Bridgerton, right?
Call Me By Your Name.
It's very love is the destiny.
It's very magical.
It's very, it's very- Tangible.

(07:05):
perfect, right?
Yeah.
Um, grand gestures, classic timing.
When you run to the airport, she's always there waiting, you know?
Mm-hmm.
Those kind of moment is the happily ever afters- Okay.
that we're talking about here.
.0000000000582So does it capture the truth of love in your opinion?
In regards to the examples you've given me?
It w- the, the idea of the examples that I've given.

(07:27):
Not necessarily those films, but those type of films and those type of TV shows.
Aspects, uh, yeah, aspects of love I think are shown in there.
Yeah.
I think, like, as for example, at the start of relationship, you'll, most people are very, like, involved with their partner.
Like, "I wanna see you.
I wanna get to know you."
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Like, and then as time fades, that does go, doesn't go away completely, but there's aspects of, like, "Okay, I need to get to know you 100%."

(07:50):
'Cause you- Mm-hmm.
I would hope by then you, you know your partner quite well.
Yeah, no, I agree.
But I, I think those films tend to capture the intensity of the f- you know, the first few- Mm-hmm.
however many.
And if, if you keep that throughout the relationship as well, but- More than 50.
I think it captures the intensity that people feel like they're meant to feel in a relationship, right?

(08:10):
That's what those films tend to capture.
It captures- It does.
an immense feeling, and people love that.
To an extent some people in my opinion are obsessed with that- But I think that-
feeling.
I get that, but I also feel like, um, that submerges what love is sometimes.
'Cause love isn't li- like that or perfectly.

(08:30):
Well, exa- exactly.
.0000000000582So- It's not. 213 00:08:32,248.0000000000582 --> 00:08:35,866 So therefore, I feel like those films, they're there for a reason.
They're there to set an impossible standard, an impossible bar that you can't always meet in real life.
And I feel, I think people need to realize that, right?
That films, those type of films are there because it's a fantasy, because it's impossible, because the emotions that it kind of drags out of you is so immense, right?

(08:58):
That you yourself as the viewer, you have to be aware that you are watching something that is kind of impossible, right?
Yeah.
It's not fully correct.
So the, the point of the film isn't to tell you that you're never gonna meet a, a billionaire and he's never gonna sh- sweep you off your feet, right?
It's more that's not always the case.
Y- like in The Materialist, you could find a millionaire or billionaire, and you know what?

(09:22):
He's not quite your type.
And then now what?
You know?
That feeling.
So I think films like that, right- Mm-hmm.
not that they don't meet the standard for love or I don't think they teach the wrong lesson or they're
I, I just think the story that they're there to tell is, is positivity, is impossibility.
They're selling that.

(09:43):
Um, because real life doesn't work like that.
Real life sucks.
Real life timing is never right.
Rarely ever is right.
Okay, but in parallel to that- Um-
you do have movies like, um, Friends with Benefits.
But we're talking about idealist right, just right now.
Okay.
Idealist, romantic, happily ever, ev- uh, we'll get to those.
I promise.

(10:03):
Um, but there's, so those specific films, I think while they're not there to, uh
They, they are there to sell you a dream, but you as the viewer are not meant to absorb that as the end all be all, as that is how romance is meant to be.
But do you think people actually think that's how romance should be 24/7?
I do believe so, yeah.
.9999999998836I believe a lot of people believe that they're meant to feel that intenseness.

(10:25):
All the time?
When they're in relationships, absolutely.
Huh.
And for a lot of
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Until, I, I think until some people get into actual relationships, they don't really real- because sometimes they're like, "Oh, the relationship got stale," so now they need to leave.
stale?
What, because they're doing the same, same thing every day, in, in, in and out?

(10:46):
Yeah.
That's
A lot of people are struggling with that.
I think they learn that from what they see on television and sometimes around them.
Um, it's
A lot of them tend to also mirror their parents' relationships.
They see it through rose-tinted glasses because their, their parents have been together for 50 years in their mind they forget all the arguments that their parents had or maybe their parents were secure enough to never have those hard, tough conversations in front of the kids, right?

(11:13):
So the kids grow up idolizing their parents' relationship.
They mean like, "I want that."
But they, they don't know how to do that.
They see their parents kissing, touching, doing all that stuff and they don't see the, the hard work that goes into it.
Um, and so they think it's always meant to be all flowers and shit.
Good luck with that.
Moving on to the situationship and the messy realities.

(11:36):
So we're talking 500 Days of Summer, we're talking Fleabag and The Hot Prince.
We're talking Nana.
I put these things specifically in here like Nana and your name for you so that you get the context of what I'm trying to say.
Um, Rent-a-Girlfriend.
You seen that?
No, I haven't seen Rent-a-Girlfriend.
Well, you've seen Nana though?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, so things like
.9999999998836Things that are messy, never quite 279 00:11:57,819.9999999998836 --> 00:12:00,300 So films or TV series or whatever that are messy.

(12:00):
That it's never
It's not a happily ever after, right?
So it's, it's, it's limerence, it's being in limbo.
It's intimacy without clarity.
The, the aching, wanting more.
Uh, unrequited love, misaligned desires, you know, things like that.
N- never
Time never matching.
I think that's more realistic than others then.

(12:21):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that type tends to be unfortunately more realistic than the others.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, and it's, it's, it's reality for a lot of people as well, 'cause people stumble into relationships and obviously the first few whatever is all good, it's nice.
.9999999998836And then you start testing boundaries and then you start miscommunicating and you get burned, you get hurt. 296 00:12:43,319.9999999998836 --> 00:12:45,819.9999999998836 That's when things starts becoming petty, right? 297 00:12:45,819.9999999998836 --> 00:12:46,090 Mm-hmm.

(12:46):
And then you're not talking and then things get weird and you're like, "What should you do?"
You get a new job in a new city, but you just started seeing this new boy and every
Like, you know, he's, he's perfect.
What do you do?
That's life, that's messy.
.9999999998836Or you meet a guy on Hinge, he's perfect. 304 00:13:02,319.9999999998836 --> 00:13:04,048 All of a sudden some girl's messaging you.
I'm coming to you as woman.

(13:06):
Ah.
But then you find out sh- the, the girl's a crazy person and she's lying.
What do you do then?
You already broke up with the guy though.
Yeah, I know it's complicated.
So the
I, I think though these stories can be exaggerated.
Mm-hmm.
But they tell the true
They, they tell a specific type of pain with relationships that I, I think a lot of people can relate to, right?

(13:30):
Yeah.
Um, and sometimes they don't actually give people the tools to work through their messiness.
So I think they don't help, they just highlight, right? 319 00:13:43,319.9999999998836 --> 00:13:45,360 They just tell you life sucks.
They just tell you life can be messy.
They tell, but they don't tell you how.
R- example, Big and Curry, they should have never ended up together.

(13:53):
That's messy.
That's not, that's not right.
And they don't tell you how to navigate relationships with a man like Big.
And then you fall in love with that toxicity of a relationship as an example, and you glorify that thinking maybe that's what a relationship should be like.
Yes, there were good moments, but C- C- Curry was crazy.
Okay.

(14:13):
But my point stands.
I don't think
If you're going into watching romance thinking this is how relationships are then probably you, you better off.
But a lot of us take from television, we take that and we take it into our real lives.
We, we learn from things we see on TV.
.00000000011642Well, where's the nuance in that then? 335 00:14:28,160.00000000011642 --> 00:14:36,680.0000000001164 Well, that's the thing, as a viewer, it's up to you to take the good things or to learn from it and, and then say, "Okay, what do I do with this?" 336 00:14:36,680.0000000001164 --> 00:14:44,480 Don't mirror your life from said films, because the film is there to sh- highlight or exaggerate specific situations.

(14:44):
As a viewer, then it's your responsibility to take that and say, "What can I do with this?"
Mm-hmm.
And don't live your life by fucking film or a TV series.
.0000000001164And I know like some people as a joke they say they do the test. 341 00:14:56,430.0000000001164 --> 00:14:57,79.99999999988358 "Oh, are you Carrie? 342 00:14:57,79.99999999988358 --> 00:14:57,810 Are you Samantha?
.9999999998836Are you so and so?" 344 00:14:58,839.9999999998836 --> 00:15:00,660.0000000001164 Don't take that- And run by it. 345 00:15:00,660.0000000001164 --> 00:15:01,620 and then run with it.
You're not Samantha.
.9999999998836You're not a, you're not a character in a film. 348 00:15:05,319.9999999998836 --> 00:15:07,540 You're a real life person with real life consequences.

(15:07):
.00000000011642I know it's great to feel like you're, you know, the fantasy. 350 00:15:11,180.00000000011642 --> 00:15:11,839.9999999998836 Mm-hmm. 351 00:15:11,839.9999999998836 --> 00:15:14,846 These days we, we, we be doing shit for the plot.
.0000000001164But sometimes let's, let's realize what the plot can do to us mentally, financially as well. 353 00:15:22,319.9999999998836 --> 00:15:22,832 Oh la la.
.99999999988358I, I highlight financially because some people they'll take out loans for their partners, for their boyfriend.

(15:30):
Boyfriend. 356 00:15:32,819.9999999998836 --> 00:15:33,800 Boyfriend.
Not married.
Girlfriend.
Not married still.
They would
Exactly.
They would take out loans and then when relationship waffle
When the relationship is in the air, messy. 364 00:15:50,339.9999999998836 --> 00:15:55,100 So even though you see a life with this person, the law is there for a reason.

(15:55):
.0000000001164Get something written, please.
.0000000001164Because I, I know people- But as a girl, right, what are you gonna do? 367 00:15:59,660.0000000001164 --> 00:16:00,556 As a girl-
.9999999998836as a gir- in that position as a girlfriend, what are you gonna do? 369 00:16:03,435.9999999998836 --> 00:16:04,036 Y- man, woman.
The one, if you're the one taking out the loan- Mm-hmm.
in your name, you need to get a written agreement that even after the relationship ends, they have to financially do something.
Simple.

(16:16):
.9999999998836And then if they don't, you can ta- you can posse- hopefully take them to 374 00:16:19,415.9999999998836 --> 00:16:20,271.9999999998836 literal claims court.
But look at your, look at what your legal grounds are if you do s- something like this, because you will, you alone will be liable for that loan, to pay that loan. 376 00:16:30,935.9999999998836 --> 00:16:33,276.0000000001164 I, I'm just saying, because it's in your name. 377 00:16:33,276.0000000001164 --> 00:16:39,316 So film is sweet but life is not.

(16:39):
.0000000001164Anyway.
Now moving on to the materialist romance.
So Mati- f- films like The Materialist, like Crazy Rich Asian, Pretty Woman, Maid in Manhattan, Breakfast at Tiffany's are like you meet a rich wi- a rich man, you meet a rich hu- w- white woman. 381 00:17:01,415.9999999998836 --> 00:17:02,238 Um.

(17:03):
.0000000001164And the, the fantasy, you know, the love from through wealth, through ambition. 383 00:17:07,456.0000000001164 --> 00:17:16,976.0000000001164 There's always class divides, um, obviously with romance and status and, you know, if you get financial security and you get a specific lifestyle that comes with it, right? 384 00:17:16,976.0000000001164 --> 00:17:19,096 And the film, the film sends you a dream, right?
It sells you, um, money, class, all these things that you can get.

(17:24):
And sometimes they do do a good job to, to navigate the, for example, in Crazy Rich Asians, they kind of do a good job because she's struggling with Nick.
The, the
I don't want to speak- I can't remember his name.
But her husband's parent or mum.
Mm-hmm.
.9999999997672It's hard to bridge that gap between her being a normal person and him being, like, this super rich guy, right? 392 00:17:45,755.9999999997672 --> 00:17:50,416 Um, so sometimes they do do a good job telling that.

(17:50):
But then living that is something else entirely.
I promise you, it's something else entirely.
Especially if class is involved.
Especially if class is involved.
Um, it, it, in films like this, they tend to glamorize the inequality, right?

(18:10):
.99999999976717Yeah. 399 00:18:11,235.99999999976717 --> 00:18:19,416 The, the, and it feels like n- the, one of them needs to be validated by the, by the wealth that they have or by the struggle that they have.
Um, and I think this trope happens a lot in books.
.0000000002328But it's- You know? 402 00:18:25,706.0000000002328 --> 00:18:27,696 But it's now coming a lot in, in media.
Yes.
It's probably propaganda.
It feels like propaganda.
It does feel like propaganda.

(18:31):
.00000000023283All these feminine cultures. 408 00:18:33,206.00000000023283 --> 00:18:34,275 It's like shoved in your face.
.00000000023283Yeah. 410 00:18:34,416.00000000023283 --> 00:18:37,356 Like, try and find yourself a high value woman.
.00000000023283Blah. 412 00:18:37,416.00000000023283 --> 00:18:39,135 A high value man.
Blah blah.
Blah.
Like, it's everywhere.
This is sick.
Like, um, I think, um, it's com- it's almost like the personification of it- Mm-hmm.
.00000000023283is coming into, into life. 419 00:18:49,445.00000000023283 --> 00:18:49,916.0000000002328 Yeah. 420 00:18:49,916.0000000002328 --> 00:18:52,235.99999999976717 It's, um, it's, it's creepy and weird. 421 00:18:52,235.99999999976717 --> 00:18:53,496 It's very creepy.

(18:53):
Because at that point, what the
.99999999976717is, is that romance? 424 00:18:57,255.99999999976717 --> 00:19:04,626 If you're seeking, if you're actively seeking out this person just for this one aspect of their per- of their personality or the person- Mm-hmm.
.99999999976717what's happening to another, other 90%?
It's- What happens to the other 90%?
I n- I think people who consume, for example, Shera Seven's content, right?

(19:14):
It's something to consume that content.
It's another thing to do what she's saying to do, because it's not easy.
.9999999997672You do not
.99999999976717Uh, some, not all, uh, you do not love these people, and you would have to then put things in place to secure yourself. 432 00:19:31,255.99999999976717 --> 00:19:32,080 You're taking
.00000000023283I, I, I mean, I'm not saying relationships like that can't work. 434 00:19:35,416.00000000023283 --> 00:19:37,856 They can, but you both have to be aware.

(19:37):
I think the issue that I'm having is if you enter it with deceit.
If you don't and you're both aware of what your situation is, I think fair play.
.9999999997672But if you're entering it with deceit on one person's part, then I, I, I take an issue with that. 438 00:19:54,755.9999999997672 --> 00:19:58,096 I don't, I, I don't think that that's, uh, ethical.

(19:59):
Ah.
Morally gray, but I don't think it's ethical.
Um, but yeah, the, the, these films though, you need nuance, right?
You can't just 443 00:20:09,436.00000000023283 --> 00:20:11,336 You, you need to critique what you're watching.
Like Pretty Woman, for example.
.99999999976717I'm 446 00:20:13,235.99999999976717 --> 00:20:15,664 nothing against wh- sex workers.
Okay.

(20:19):
I'm sorry.
I know, I'm actually sorry.
She's a sex worker, and while it's easy for those boundaries to cross, it's very rare that they become what it becomes in Pretty Woman.
So don't go through life thinking because you're a sex worker you'll find your Richard Gere's character, I forget his name, because that's not entirely always true.

(20:40):
Mm-hmm.
Right?
Um, and a la Crazy Rich, Rich- Asian.
Asian, you could find your Nick and then you meet his mum and you're like, "No, no, no, I ain't taking this."
He, his love is not worth it, you know what I mean?
But you also remember you're marrying the family as well.
You're marrying the family as well.
Um, or it could be on some Mr. Darcy shit.
I think Mr. Darcy's family had passed away.

(21:01):
Mr. Darcy's family, Hill's sister- Yeah.
his sister was fine.
She liked to play piano- Yeah, and she was h- but imagine though, imagine if he still had his parents and they were very hoity-toity like he was and arrogant like he was.
And maybe they were good people, I don't know.
I think the book actually kind of said that they weren't that terrible people.
But still, moving through class and his friends, his peers, certain
The way you speak, your mannerisms, little things like that- Mm-hmm.

(21:22):
you need the confidence of a
You need confidence to be able to move through life like that.
Either that or maybe you're willing to learn little th- sometimes it really do be the little things.
But anyway, point is, um, you need to be very aware of how transactional that these relationships do tend to be, and if you're gonna do it, do it with your eyes wide open.

(21:44):
And don't do it for love.
I said what I said.
Okay, moving now to the OG romance, the When Harry Met Sally, Notting Hill, 10 Things I Hate About You, My Fat Greek Ro- uh, My, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, very witty banter, awkward dating from young, very quirky, um, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, family chaos, all of that, you know, the

(22:10):
all of that fun stuff.
Um, to an extent I think those tend to capture s- some reality.
Right?
Because when you're young things are very awkward, you don't really know what to do, you don't know how to go about things.
Um, enemies to lovers, I do
That one be careful.
But I- I do, I do think that there is something, obviously everyone keeps saying there's a thing, 9% love and hate.

(22:32):
Um, uh, it's the same side of the same coin as some of the shit like that.
But, um, it, they tend to
These films anyway tend to be quite light-hearted and they also tend, not always, they don't always end in a happily ev- ever after, but they tend to end in happily ever afters.
Um, and I think they do tell a relatively, I'd say average, uh, truth.

(22:56):
Like, a, a well-balanced between reality and, and fiction.
Um, th- the, the
.99999999976717Because, you know, chemistry there, yes, true, there's usually humor, there's awkwardness, there's, um
I think there's always the constant reminder to keep things light and warm, right?
Um, and fun, with, with films like this.
Um, on the other hand though, there does seem to be a over-simplica- over-simplification, it tends to simplify things quite a bit.

(23:26):
Because you can't just resolve th- Because obviously with films like this there's always the thing in the middle, uh, y- you can't always resolve things the way things are resolved in the films.
Yeah.
Right?
The, the conflict s- sometimes lasts long, especially if you're living with someone, right?
And you need t- you have to keep living with them while said conflict is happening, you know?

(23:49):
It's not easy and you have to navigate those feelings that comes with that sometimes.
And, and tho- those, those are very heavy, um, and you need to have the maturity, the
You have to be able to communicate what you're feeling in that moment, and if you can't in that moment, take the time.
You have to be gold, you have to be mature.
It's not easy.
She has said you have to be mature.

(24:11):
Yeah, you can't be petty.
And some of us, I mean, what's life without a little bit of pettiness, you know?
Um, but yeah. 508 00:24:20,860.0000000002328 --> 00:24:23,290 Um, it tends to also fast-forward intimacy, right?
It feels like, um, the character met yesterday and then i- 3 days later they're already in love and then they're getting married, and obviously life doesn't always move like that.
For some people it does, but typically- That is too fast though.

(24:33):
.99999999976717Yeah. 512 00:24:34,139.99999999976717 --> 00:24:34,880 That's too fast.
Yeah, it's way, way, way too fast, you know?
Um, uh, I think in In Notting Hill I think
Is it Notting Hill?
Uh, anyway, one of these films, they, they meet i- I think in the space of n- 27 Dresses, 27 Dresses?
27 Dresses.
Mm-hmm.
They meet, and then within the space of him writing this article, which is usually about a month, they're falling in love.

(24:58):
And then, like, a few months later they're getting married and all.
And I'm like, I'm thinking, this, where the
How did they
.99999999976717She's a writer in New York, where'd the money come from? 524 00:25:05,139.99999999976717 --> 00:25:09,378.00000000023283 And I don't remember what she did, but- Weddings just don't happen like that.
The next day as well, next month.
Yeah, I don't know when they'll get married but it didn't, they didn't say 5 years later, you know?
No, I'm just saying, weddings are

(25:20):
Wedding venues are easy to find these days.
Ex- ex- exactly, and a lot of it tends to hang on luck as well, which you can't always have, you can't always get.
And sometimes you just run out of luck.
And that's right, sometimes you do just always run luck.
All right.
.9999999997672So, moving on to I believe this is the fin- l- l- l- the final, m- the final little bit.

(25:43):
So with all the bits, so the idealized romance, the situationship messy reality, the, the OG rom-coms, the materialistic r- romances, all in all, do you think that romantic films, um, are realistic?
Do you think they, they're right when they portray love?I do.

(26:05):
There are aspects of romance anime, romance anime?
Romance, um, cinematography- Mm-hmm.
that I think they do get right.
All through, all through the, the 4 pillars, they do, uh, capture different aspects of love.
Mm-hmm.
But as you said, they do, um, focus on that one aspect and doesn't go and like zoom in to, like, "Okay, you can have this, but this ain't going to always gonna be like this."
Mm-hmm.
"You ain't always gonna have the grand gestures.

(26:27):
You ain't always
It's not always gonna be messy."
Mm-hmm.
'Cause even though messiness is there, it's not always gonna be messy.
Sometimes you do just, like, have the same same in days.
Mm-hmm.
Which is very fine.
.99999999976717Yeah. 552 00:26:37,139.99999999976717 --> 00:26:43,580 I think what needs to happen is they need, need to start trying to merge them, like 2 into one.
Like, have the grand gestures, but also show, show the messiness, messiness.
Be i- idealistic, but also show, like, it doesn't have to be same same.

(26:51):
Yeah.
Yeah.
.00000000023283You know? 558 00:26:53,360.00000000023283 --> 00:26:53,630 Yeah.
'Cause I think you n- we need all 4 aspects of those, um, pillars as, as I've demonstrated.
.99999999976717Yeah. 561 00:26:59,139.99999999976717 --> 00:27:01,980 But not to, to intensity they do per movie.
.9999999997672Yeah. 563 00:27:02,639.9999999997672 --> 00:27:08,040 I think it's also important to note that these films, they're not a documentary, right?
They're not, they're not manual guides.
No.
Um, they're fantasies.

(27:13):
Um, they're selling us a heightened version of ourselves or of love, right?
.99999999976717And, and
But sometimes they capture the raw emotions that we tend to feel, right?
Mm-hmm.
Um, they capture how funny it is to sometimes have a miscommunication.
They capture the thrill of connection, of wanting to

(27:36):
Of ex- the excitement of falling in love.
They capture that quite well.
Um, they capture the memories of past loves quite well.
Yeah.
.9999999997672Um, they, they also capture yearning quite well as well, um, in, in film, TV, whatever. 578 00:27:53,639.9999999997672 --> 00:28:00,480 Um, and some t- so I, I guess they capture the right emotions, right?

(28:00):
Yearning, love, sometimes hatred, sometimes confusion.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
.00000000023283And all of these we tend to then latch onto specific films, because they hit the s- that emotional spot for us, but we can't then mirror our lives or our love lives because a film said so, or because somebody on TikTok said so.

(28:21):
Um- Can't
People can't be serious with that one.
Uh, but anyw- um, but I, I think the problem, like we've been saying anyway, is when people stop treating films and series as fantasies and start using them as, as placeholders or- Mm-hmm.
guides for how you go through life, um, I think it becomes, it becomes a problem.
So it's not really that films get love right.

(28:43):
It's more that they nail the emotions that comes with falling in love or being in love or being in a relationship.
And sometimes everybody needs to learn that.
.0000000002328Sometimes that's just enough value for us to learn and take something away from it. 591 00:28:59,860.0000000002328 --> 00:29:02,860.0000000002328 So, yeah. 592 00:29:02,860.0000000002328 --> 00:29:04,579 That's, uh, that's all I got.

(29:04):
I think in its, in its rawest sense, I think the answer to the question is maybe.
Or would you give it a yes?
I think it does, um, but as I said, I, I wouldn't want it
.99999999976717The concentration of it in per film- Mm-hmm. 597 00:29:20,179.99999999976717 --> 00:29:21,409.99999999976717 isn't i- isn't realistic. 598 00:29:21,409.99999999976717 --> 00:29:21,440 Mm-hmm.
I think, as I said, it should be, they should merge them.

(29:24):
.99999999976717There should be- Yeah, so what I'm saying then- 601 00:29:26,429.99999999976717 --> 00:29:36,110 to the question, does films, the, do films, TV, rom- uh, blah, blah, blah, do they tell love right?
Yeah.
.99999999976717Yeah? 604 00:29:37,659.9999999997672 --> 00:29:37,960 Okay.
I say maybe, because nuance is needed.
Yeah.
Uh, and yeah, I think that's everything.

(29:45):
So I said, when I was thinking about this whole main segment, right?
And I was thinking, maybe the truth is that love isn't just one thing, right?
It's, it's messy and it's ideal and it's material and it's funny and it's fleeting and it's forever.
Um, that's why we keep watching and we keep having hopes and we keep putting our emotions into these films, because even when the film exaggerates, they still capture what makes us feel like we're living in a story.

(30:19):
Mm-hmm.
And I think that that's, that's quite magical.
This is being said by someone who does bleh-bleh when people are being all lovey-dovey, by the way.
She goes.
I know, I legit do.
I'm a child.
There is, there is nothing up here.
It's completely empty.
I am literally a child.
I think I saw a TikTok the other day and a guy came on screen, like music obviously in the background, he came on screen and then he does the middle finger and I giggled.

(30:48):
That game is
It was such a simple TikTok and it gave me so much joy.
And I was like, "I'm actually a child."
Like who does this?
Anyway, moving on to the next segment which is world entertainment news.
The big news Morgan sanction.
Anyways.
So what have you got for us today- So, in the land of gossip.

(31:10):
in the land of gossip.
Westwood might be having collaboration with Nana.
Remember last year they had a collab- collaboration with, uh, Tate Sailor Moon and I didn't get the boots.
Get the boots.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But this year when it drops, I'm gonna get the Nana merch.
For all the Nana- All right.
collab- collaboration.
All right.
I don't know what they're releasing.
Oh, yeah.
But the fact it's Nana, like I- I have to, right?

(31:30):
It has to be.
Yeah.
Fair play, fair play.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah, love that.
Um, so in the news, the rap ladies are
I saw that one, right, on the
on Twitter.
Yeah.
They're going at- The Bird App.
it, um.
I don't get it though.
It's Cardi versus Nicki, uh, JT versus Cardi, and then JT versus Hennessy because Cardi was like, "I ain't got time for you."

(31:54):
Um
About Nicki and Cardi, I think it's time.
I think it's time they just want to separate and men- mention each other's face.
I don't understand why they're actually fighting.
I, I, I, I do not.
I think the c- what?
All this beef and no, no diss song dropped.
Let me tell you what the Bird App is saying, because I'm not gonna call it whatever it's been called cor- correctly.

(32:15):
Bird App.
'Cause I can't remember its name, but Twitter I do remember.
But someone might be knocking on my door saying- It starts with one letter, but okay.
I know.
No worries.
Don't worry, I believe you.
On the Bird App, now rebranded.
Apparently Nicki started throwing shades like, "Look at you."
You know, Cardi, um, uh, allegedly Cardi was saying that she was going to outsell specific people.

(32:40):
Oh.
.00000000023283That was how it started and then Cardi was like, when her sales started to drop, Nicki was then like, "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha." 675 00:32:47,360.00000000023283 --> 00:32:50,020 She was like, "Your discount is different from sales."
You never.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, and then they started going at each other, going at each other.
I think it's time
I, I don't know.
Competition is healthy, but they just need to let it go, okay?
Just let it go.
Yeah.

(33:00):
I think it's, I think it's ridiculous.
Mm.
I think I'm tired of it, to be honest.
And it's, and also it's like calling other people to like, "Oh, I'm a good do this, I'm a good do this."
I'm like, that's weird behavior.
That is such a weird behavior.
And I'm sorry if you're a person and you have time to be doing all these things that the specific celebrity is telling you to do, get a life.
Go outside and go touch grass.
Go get friends.

(33:22):
And not little friends that are gonna do what Nicki is saying at the same time.
No, ones that go to school and read books and stuff and, and I don't know, go quilt, go knit.
Go play police and robbers.
Go, I don't know what you're gonna do.
Tic-tac-toe on the street.
Go ride a bike.
Something.
Get off the internet, carding it down

(33:44):
.9999999997672Like just get off the internet and actually start working. 703 00:33:46,639.9999999997672 --> 00:33:47,720 Write a song.
You know, put all that emotion into a song and, and then produce it and then write it and then, and then be vulnerable.
But like, actually produce
You know what?
Produce something that makes sense.
Produce
Yeah, yeah, I know Cardi just dropped and she was, she was very vulnerable, but, and she did have stuff to say.
Yeah.

(34:06):
That's what I'm gonna say.
Talking about artists, I keep
You know the girl I sent you the other day that's doing re- renditions of Taylor's album?
Oh, we're gonna get to that.
.9999999997672Oh my goodness. 716 00:34:14,639.9999999997672 --> 00:34:16,800.0000000002328 I, I saw her, I saw a new version of it. 717 00:34:16,800.0000000002328 --> 00:34:18,779 It's of the version of Wood.
.0000000002328Oh. 719 00:34:18,860.0000000002328 --> 00:34:19,500 Yeah.
.99999999976717Now, speaking of albums, Taylor Swift dropped her album last weekend. 721 00:34:24,139.99999999976717 --> 00:34:24,639.9999999997672 I don't know. 722 00:34:24,639.9999999997672 --> 00:34:24,710 At some point.
.9999999997672I didn't listen to it. 724 00:34:25,699.9999999997672 --> 00:34:26,840.0000000002328 Um- I'm not a stan. 725 00:34:26,840.0000000002328 --> 00:34:30,400 If you want my opinions, it's there on TikTok somewhere, and honestly I don't care.

(34:30):
I don't really listen to her album.
I think I like one
I can count on this amount of my hands how many of her songs I actually like and listen to.
Um, I don't think about her at all unless like TikTok is forcing me to think about it.
.99999999976717She doesn't cross my mind. 731 00:34:45,159.99999999976717 --> 00:34:45,744.0000000002328 Um
.9999999997672Yeah. 733 00:34:46,659.9999999997672 --> 00:34:49,000 But there's been a lot of discourse lately about Taylor Swift and her new album.
.99999999976717There has been a discourse. 735 00:34:50,139.99999999976717 --> 00:34:54,639.9999999997672 Um, and they're like her lyricism and this particular album is very- Meh. 736 00:34:54,639.9999999997672 --> 00:34:55,100 child.

(34:55):
And I'm like, I swear that it's always been like that.
.9999999995343I don't think it's been that blatant. 739 00:35:00,529.9999999995343 --> 00:35:03,940 << She wears t-shirts I wear everything.
.0000000004657It's got a something. 741 00:35:05,720.0000000004657 --> 00:35:08,950 >> Or, um, what's the one with the bleachers and the bla bla bla
And then, um- See, it's still made up.
<< We were in college working part-time waiting tables.
Left a small town.

(35:15):
>> She's a good storyteller, but l- the l- bluh, bluh.
What?
The
It's, it's not changed.
From that album to this new album, I don't see the difference.
I don't even see the growth.
Well, that's what I'm saying, there is no growth.
Yeah.
There's not been
There hasn't been growth.
I don't, I don't see it.
Well, I don't
eh, anyway.
I don't listen to it, so but from what I've heard from back a day when I was, you know, a teenager and listening to that to now, it's the

(35:45):
it's always about man.
But that's what she's known for though.
She's always been known for, for singing about her ex- So I don't
her boyfriend and men in her life.
I don't know.
So I don't understand the outrage.
I think people just think because she's MAGA now they can, they can put in the, the
they can put the knife in and twist it.
But I think, as you said, her storytelling has gotten worse.I think it's been the s- honestly, I think it's been the same.

(36:08):
I don't remember listening to her music to know her that way.
I know Blank Space.
I know the one that was, was a feature with, with a goat.
.9999999995343Yeah. 772 00:36:14,663.9999999995343 --> 00:36:18,824 Uh- And I think there's a line about the, um, "I'm not a savage, I'm not a"
But do you guys remember that, um, "Now we got bad blood"?
She
You t- you guys
You know, that was very awkward.
.00000000046566That's like your, your

(36:29):
I don't like this analogy, but that's like your English friend saying, "My bitch is sicking ass at the end, I'll pay up nigga."
You know what I mean?
I'm like, girl, that's not you.
Stop it.
.9999999995343Stop it.
Now sing Adele, When We Were Young.
You know what I mean?
.0000000004657Yeah.

(36:49):
what I got from that, I'm not gonna lie to you.
That's what I got.
Technically she was like, "I'm not a bad bitch, so like, I don't get it, why you with me?"
play.
.9999999995343Because, you know, apparently his exes were all- That's not what people are saying that the song's about. 791 00:37:01,663.9999999995343 --> 00:37:02,000 bad bitches. 792 00:37:02,529.9999999995343 --> 00:37:07,784 They're doing a full, she's doing a full comparison saying that I am better than all your exes because I don't do L, X, Y, Z.
Really?
Is that what she said?
Yeah.
You took the wrong message.

(37:11):
Oh, yeah, I definitely did.
I just thought that they were like- No, it was a diss.
that was just that little bit where she was like- No, it was a diss to his ex.
Oh.
Saying, well, now he's got me, he's with a better person because I am not X, Y, Z featuring black embodiments.
I see.
And saying, I'm better than her because I don't do X, Y, Z.

(37:32):
And all those things that you've listed- Yeah, yeah.
predominantly are- Are, yeah.
Yeah.
Stereotypically black women trope.
Yeah.
Right.
That's why people hate that song.
I see.
.9999999995343It's not b- not 813 00:37:44,663.9999999995343 --> 00:37:45,544 It's not from the wording.
.99999999953434It's from the message behind it. 815 00:37:47,163.99999999953434 --> 00:37:48,464 Interesting.
And then they're also criticizing her for the song- What?
Ophelia.

(37:53):
we'll get to it.
But Ophelia, 00 Ophelite or something like that with the Shakespeare- Yeah.
She was comparing herself with Onyx.
And apparently
No, no, no.
That's the
Opal and something, something.
That, that one is different.
This one is she compared herself to someone in Shakespeare, or in Hamlet.
Yeah, in Hamlet.
Oh, wow.
Shakespeare is the writer, which people are of the opinion that she c- she compared herself, uh, incorrectly.
Uh, allegedly she's comparing herself to someone who's a victim.

(38:17):
And they're like, "You're not a victim."
Yeah.
Uh, and I'm like, "I don't give a fuck, okay?"
True story.
It's over.
And then I saw, uh, BBC do, um, an ad just came up my TikTok about, I think, she went on a radio show and she was talking about it.
And I looked through the- Did I tell you that they gave her a whole hour on- On ca-
uninterrupted.

(38:38):
Yeah, yeah.
On Capital.
Goodness me.
And they talk about produced, manufactured.
Remember when I was telling you that?
Mm-hmm. 845 00:38:44,663.9999999995343 --> 00:38:45,224 And we'll even
We'll get to that.
You know she done a film?
Did she now?
.0000000004657I told 850 00:38:47,604.0000000004657 --> 00:38:48,724 On video, and I told you.
Yeah, it's coming out.
I- I'm not gonna- It
Yeah.
Insane.
And it's because I think she used it to launch just one video, I think.
Ridiculous.
And then I think she launched merch as well, and they're like

(38:59):
People, her fans, are like, "The, the merch is not nice."
I'm like, "Oh, okay."
But it's selling though, so it must be nice.
That is called loosely to the fault.
Fair play, fair play, fair.
Um, but yeah, so she's
the BBC thing that I was
that, that I said I saw, and the comments section was just filled with people saying, "Aw, she's such a lovely girl.
Oh, that's really nice."

(39:19):
And then you would see the sprinkled, "But she's a billionaire though."
I think she was trying to play it out like she's a normal person, stuff, stuff, stuff like that.
And people were like, "Oh, she's so down to"
I think I'm
.99999999953434I'm pretty sure I took a screen recording. 872 00:39:30,163.99999999953434 --> 00:39:32,244 I'll put it here somewhere if I can
If I can find it.
Have some mercy.
.00000000046566Um, so I just thought it was funny because the people that this discourse should be reaching, they 876 00:39:42,104.00000000046566 --> 00:39:43,344 It's not reaching them.

(39:43):
.99999999953434It's reaching people like me who don't give a fuck.
.9999999995343Because, like, the people think that obviously because she's MAGA- Mm. 879 00:39:50,663.9999999995343 --> 00:39:56,304 she's trying to brainwash the young girls and the young people to be focused on the wrong thing.
Um, they believe that at, at a time like this with such tension that's going on in America.
Mm.

(40:04):
Really?
But it's gonna be like a
Is it
It's quite easy to do a whole U-turn.
I saw a TikTok that said, "Last year Trump said she, he hates you.
This year he's saying look at Taylor."
Mm.
I'm like, damn that's so 2018.
So she's just, she's trying to, I don't know, fit into the- Current climate.
socio

(40:25):
Yeah, to the current climate and
But do you think that's gonna last that long?
She's gonna come back and beg for forgiveness depending on who wins.
What was it we said last week, um, about who tells your story?
The winners.

(40:47):
I suppose.
It depends on who wins and
Okay.
Do you think her fans will forgive her?
They're buying shitty merch, mate.
They'll forgive her.
More careful, huh?
Good.
And also the wood song.
Now let's get to the wood song.
Now she's talking about her man's wood.
Look, look, look.
I think she compared it to a specific tree.
And what I've seen allegedly, hm, is that this wood is a very big wood.

(41:11):
This tree is a very big tree.
Do you think she did research herself?
Or is she- I'm sure she did the research.
I'm, I'm 100% certain-
she went on the Google-
to Google.
So what's the biggest tree?
The tree, the girthiest tree, too.
Thank you.
And Google has did its job and it said it's a redwood something, something, I don't know the tree.

(41:31):
It was anyway.
I didn't know if that happened as well, you know?
Yeah.
I didn't actually think it was true.
I think that's exactly what happened at that moment.
I- She's like, "Oh, so big.
It's the biggest I've ever seen."
Yeah, yeah.
She said that.
She said it really, on loop.
That's why she was smiling up and down.
I think they, didn't they, did
I think, did she say she was dickmatized?
Yes, that's the word she used.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
You can only imagine what the men behind her were like.

(41:53):
No, I, see, now I can't tell if she's trying to tailor this to her fans who are obviously older or her fans who are younger.
I don't
Because if you put dickmatized in your song, it's quite explicit, no?
Very explicit.
So it's, it's very different from what she used to do, right?

(42:14):
I, I, I cannot say.
As I said, I have- Yeah, no, no, I don't, I don't either.
I don't listen to her, don't listen to her songs to know what she would What does this mean?
But I think my, what I'm not quite understanding is, uh, why people are having such vitriol, such outrage about it.
I think it's what we s- we spoke about yesterday.
It's a mix, yeah.
It's a mixture.
No, uh, about how she's the epitome of, like, white feminism.
Right, yeah.
And how, um, a thing that we saw, not a documentary but commentary.

(42:36):
Mm-hmm.
A woman's saying, you know, like, how we always talk about representation matters?
She, like, she, she- Her representation is poor.
Well, she's giving white women a bad name apparently.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Okay, I can see that.
Because with her- I can see that.
as we talk, we, we talked about yesterday, she's the epitome of white femi- not the epitome, but from, from my opinion, from ChatGPT, to my come opinion, because my ChatGPT tell us my opinion.

(42:59):
So good.
I'll clarify that before it comes at me and, and says, "Where'd you find this?"
Um, she's epitome of white feminism.
She's meant to be polite and weak.
She's meant to be very, like, um
But is that white feminism though?
I guess that's, that's the image that white feminism- Yeah.
tends to have.
And but she's embodied that so far.
Because wh- white women's feminism is very much steeped into their, well, their proximity to the patriarchy.

(43:26):
To the patriarchy, yeah.
And then, and then when you do the comparison of, like, what Black culture has been, um, portrayed in, in American, American mu- media.
Mm-hmm.
She's somehow with the, with the phrasing dickmatized, taken herself out of that.
And people are like, "This is not what we know, know you about."
Oh.
"What are you doing to us?
This is not us."
Right.
I think this is also in conjecture to the commentary that this person was talking about Bonnie Blue and other person's name and how that's taken, that's, um, the comparison of like what white feminism was used to be and what- Mm-hmm.

(43:57):
Taylor and Bonnie Blue are now doing to the pop- Oh.
to the representation of white women.
I think- It's taking it out of balance.
This might be a bit of a reach, but I saw something recently, um, Kelechi put something recently about, um, Greta
I might be pronouncing her name wrong, because like she pronounced her name- Greta Thunberg.
Thunberg, yes.

(44:17):
Yeah.
Now she's, I think, activism, feminism, all of the ease, all of the proactiveness that comes with being a feminist.
She- But she's not seen as it.
But she doesn't have that image of a white, pretty white girl.
.0000000004657She's very raw. 993 00:44:34,720.0000000004657 --> 00:44:36,700 But Taylor Swift has that.
Is that the, is that what we're, we're getting at?

(44:38):
Yeah.
Right, and that's b- that's why people don't like Greta.
Because she's very vocal about where she stands and she doesn't wear lipstick and look pretty and pret- like they want her to.
Um, but Taylor seems to have tailored herself, that is not a pun, to
The imagery of it.
fit that imagery of pretty, young, uh, white woman type of thing.

(45:00):
Yeah, which also embodies her music.
Shh, okay.
Because as you said, her music's childish.
People are actually saying that.
You said her music was childish yesterday, didn't you?
They were say, people were saying that Beyonce gave us Lemonade at her age.
As I said yesterday on my TikTok, it's a good day to be in a beehive.
I think that was cheating.

(45:20):
That got replaced with so much, so much, I'm like that's messy of you.
But it's true though.
Um
Oh, Beyonce wouldn't even do it like this.
Come on, she wouldn't.
I think though that sometimes, just sometimes a person's development- Mm-hmm.
is a little bit behind their peers.
Um, I think I saw someone's take that, um, misogyny is the reason why people are reacting to Taylor's new album the way they're reacting to it.

(45:46):
That's not true.
And I don't
I think the, the person hadn't developed their takes properly.
So it was like an ongoing thing I saw on Substack.
Um, and the person was like, "Just give me some time so I can really get my point across."
So I, I'll be looking forward to, to read what the, the lady has to say.
But I don't think that that's true.
I think the issue that people are having is that she'sThe message that the

(46:08):
I don't, I don't quite under- I don't understand the message that she's trying to send with this new album.
Mm-hmm.
Um, but I, I do want to listen to it.
Um, anyway, people are kicking Taylor in the ass about her stuff and uh, anyway.
Mm-hmm.
Um, someone on TikTok said that Boruto was trash, and she seems to be rage quitting all the anime bros on TikTok.
Well, I s- read that.
I said you didn't even finish Boruto.

(46:30):
You didn't finish Boruto.
Me?
Yeah.
But it said someone said, not me.
No, I mean, when I read it on, on our notes last week on Friday- Oh, right.
You thought it was me.
.00000000046566when we put this around the note. 1040 00:46:37,86.00000000046566 --> 00:46:37,826 I was like, "You what?"
Oh, no, no, no.
It's just a thing to, to remind me.
So the lady, I think her name is Okaeda something, something.
She said that Boruto's trash and she gave her reasons why.

(46:51):
And then other people tagged other creators on TikTok to come and defend why Boruto is not trash.
And then she made a video saying, "Oh.
So you lot can't comment and b- and tell me, me why Boruto's not trash, you're calling your big bro to come and, to come and tell me why."
Anyway.
Point is, this

(47:11):
She then has more and other takes that are kind of rage quitting, calling people who obviously interact with her content type thing, right?
And in the middle of that, she, she says things, something that's racist.
Bear in mind, Okaeda herself is black, and she said something about a Filipino guy.
And there was then discourse about whether

(47:32):
Actually, I'm not quite sure.
I think she called the person a Filipino, but he wasn't Filipino.
Um, but, and then she said something quite insensitive.
.0000000004657Um, so then she doubled down and said, "I don't give a fuck."
Anyway, the whole discourse was very funny.
If I can, if I get the chance, I'll tag her something somewhere.
I just thought it was very funny.

(47:54):
Did you finish Boruto?
Of course not.
I didn't either.
I agree with her saying that it's trash.
I think I only watched- It's a massacre of what-
ten episodes and I didn't continue after that.
I think they should have just scrapped the whole thing and just done a new anime.
Yeah, but they're trying to write my roots as, like, coattails.
They were like, it's- Yeah, fuck that.
too hard.
Let it go.
Let, let it die.
You know- Let it stay in the OG stasis, because now the, it's murky.

(48:20):
I don't know what's happening to the current story either.
Exactly.
Well, it's murky still, because why, why do we need a new generation?
I don't underst- Like, I legitimately don't understand.
I'm almost crying, because it's like, it's like someone taking Lord of the Rings- Mm-hmm.

(48:40):
and then turning it into a shadow of what it once was.
You know, maybe Gandalf had a child, you know?
A secret love child.
Yeah.
And then they start pairing people together.

(49:00):
The elf and the little one, they had a child, and then they go on a journey, and they then bastardize it.
That's what Boruto is, in my opinion.
But then you have Gandalf on the same day.
Then Gandalf comes on the same day.
Oh, right.
Oh, bear in mind, Gandalf is still alive by the way. 1090 00:49:17,296.00000000046566 --> 00:49:19,248 He's alive, but he's weak AF.
And ugly.

(49:22):
Oh yeah, and, and ugly-
.9999999995343because the animation is just terrible.
.99999999953434Dave, Dave! 1095 00:49:27,395.99999999953434 --> 00:49:32,136 Santan Dave is dropping an album on the 24th of October!
Yeah.
Right?
I've got the hoodie.
I didn't want the shirt, 'cause I don't really wear shirts like that.
Uh, I got the vinyl.
Do I have a vinyl play- I do not, but I will be buying one.
Did you get the cassette as well?
I did not get the cassette, 'cause what am I gonna do with that?

(49:44):
Do you have a vinyl?
I have one on my Amazon shopping cart.
And I've had it for, like, 5 years now , because how many vinyls do I actually have?
I have multiple.
Um, and this is because, uh, I did have a vinyl player but then I broke it, and then ever since then I wa- I haven't got myself one for some reason, because, uh, I wanna put it in a specific place, but then I need to buy the desk.

(50:09):
There's a lot going on 1110 00:50:12,296.00000000046566 --> 00:50:13,316 But you've got a vinyl.
Right.
But not a cassette.
I've got the CD player, I got the vinyl, and I'm asking myself, "Santan, uh, why is there not a digital version that I can buy from your website?
.0000000004657Do I have to buy it on Dingy?" 1115 00:50:23,586.0000000004657 --> 00:50:24,624 'Cause that's annoying.
That's annoying.
It's more like the classic old days when you put your CD in your car.

(50:30):
Well, I ain't got no space for a CD in my fucking car, do I?
Otherwise, I woulda done, I woulda been happy to buy a CD.
Anyway, moving on, it's a hard life.
The new album is called The Boy Who Played The Arp, The Harp, but then I'm like, give us teaser, you know?
Let, tell us the names of the titles of the song or something.
Like, I'm gasping for Quam to hear.

(50:53):
For, out, out of impatience.
I'm very curious to know what he has to say.
All right, it's only like 20 days to go.
You can do 2 weeks.
20, there's more than 20 days.
Less than 20.
Yeah, there's le- less than 20.
17.
Yeah, anyway.
You're in line.
Um, yeah, that I'm actually looking forward to.
Um, right, the new season of Love Is Blind, that dropped.

(51:14):
We need to wrap that shit up.
I'm actually enjoying this season of Love Is Blind as well.
I know, it's very messy, but like, ugh- Yeah.
God.
Like what
I think they've changed their editing style a little bit, 'cause they've- Yeah.
frozen more of the
I didn't like the fact that they showed us one of the couples in day one on the
Well, not day one, on episode one getting engaged.
But they did that previously, that's the- I don't think so.
Yeah, they did.

(51:35):
They did.
Did they?
Yeah.
They do.
They, that's what they do.
That, that confused me.
No, no.
Because I an- they di- because see in season one, Lauren and Cameron got engaged on episode one.
Did they really?
Yeah.
But that's the thing though, that's just episode one.
It's, it, they
Because when you, when you look back on episode, I don't know, 5 or whatever, the person who got engaged in episode one was still there.

(51:59):
Mm-hmm.
So I think there's a period for them to start doing the engagements, but that comes later on, uh, in, in the 14 days or however many days they've got to actually start dating each other and bonding and stuff.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
So that confused me a bit.
It's just the editing, yeah.
But no, I'm, I'm enjoying this season of Love Is Blind.
Yeah.
Uh, it's interesting.
Um, but I'm just like, why?

(52:22):
Do they, they must have a new one coming soon as well.
Like a new version of Love Is Blind?
Or something, for them to drop this now, 'cause usually it comes out in, what, February?
Mm-hmm.
They've canceled the queer version of, um, The Ultimate Item.
Item?
Interesting.
And the girl isn't happy.
.00000000046566The girls on TikTok are not happy.
I think that's quite interesting.

(52:42):
What, the girl is, or TikTok?
Tik- no, the, the decision that Netflix made.
made.
Apparently they're trying to align themselves with the current political climate of America.
Of course, everybody is.
And that's why it got canceled.
But yeah, I was sa- saddened to hear that.
Yeah.
It's, it is sad.
Uh, but yeah, uh, are we gonna cover Love Is Blind eventually?

(53:03):
I mean, we could do.
We, we still have not finished Mask.
We're one, we're one episode behind still.
1?
We're more than one episode behind now.
Well, now we are- Yeah.
'cause I think it was yesterday's and today's.
Because we're recording today, but- Yeah.
prior to this, we were, we, we were on schedule.
So now we're 3 episodes behind of that.
I'm just telling you.
Ugh.
Um, so the next thing that I actually wanna talk about, it's a funny one.

(53:23):
Mm-hmm.
Kanye released a, uh, a list of people who he feels has betrayed him.
Did he need to do that though?
Yeah, so on that list is Kim Kardashian- Not surprised.
iShowSpeed, Diddy, Ty Dolla $ign.
Wasn't he best friends with Diddy?
Dude, I don't even know.
Um, Harriet Tubman, his daughter, North West.
Not because of Fixer's mom?
Yeah.

(53:44):
Pusha T, Freddie Gibson, Kid Cudi, Curious George, Faith.
Curious
Monkey?
Why?
Because he's a monkey.
Is that why he put little tick mark?
I mean, it
Do you get it?
You get what I mean?
Monkey.

(54:04):
Mm-hmm.
White man, monkey.
Okay.
Um, Donald Trump, Pete Davidson, Patrick Starrr, LeBron James, King Von, who I'm pretty sure is passed away.
Um, Playboi Carti, James Murray, and Adolf Hitler.
Last one's valid.

(54:24):
Uh, y- uh, yeah, I mean, yeah, but still.
What the hell?
Now, Kanye, did you need to let the world know about your hate list?
Well, maybe he did.
I don't know, I just thought it was funny.
Dude is going through it.
Just pray for him.
Indeed.
Moving on to books of the week.
Yeah.
I've got The Cows by Donna Port- Porter.

(54:46):
Um, Married Lovers by Jackie Collins.
And the one I'm currently reading, How To Kill Men And Get Away With It
Did you read the Jacqueline series?
Jacqueline?
Yeah.
What's her last name?
.0000000004657She wrote a lot of books.
Oh, Jacqueline Wilson?
Yeah.
Oh, of course I do.
I saw the wildest TikTok ever. 1251 00:55:07,720.0000000004657 --> 00:55:09,000 I think I saw the TikTok too.

(55:09):
Did you see a TikTok on it?
Jacqueline Wilson traumatized her girlies with her books.
I said, "Let me hear more."
.0000000004657I sat down and watched all 5 minutes of her TikTok because it was so correct.
I said, "Parent-teacher relationship?
I was in year 5."
Wow.
Well, that part wasn't for you.

(55:31):
It was not for me, but what was I doing?
I was turning those pages like there was no tomorrow.
Yes, but then did you absorb it?
One of the girls in the comments was like, "I couldn't look my teac- my teacher in the eye after reading this, after reading this book."
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
I must've been a daft child.
.9999999995343I don't think, to me, correlation, causation, it was not a thing. 1269 00:55:49,779.9999999995343 --> 00:55:56,040 It- it just- I, I'm just thinking, wow, if you could comprehend at that young age what was happening- Right?

(55:56):
Wow!
.99999999953434You must be traumatized. 1272 00:55:58,279.99999999953434 --> 00:56:01,500 Because like, I was reading Jacqueline Wilson when I was like less than 10, I'm sure.
.0000000004657That's what I'm saying! 1274 00:56:02,720.0000000004657 --> 00:56:04,540 There was nothing up there!
So like, I wasn't even a baby.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, there's nothing up here still, but there, like there was almost nothing up there.
I was turning those pages like there's no tomorrow.
I was like, "This is the most riveting story ever written ever writes."
.99999999953434Right? 1281 00:56:12,279.99999999953434 --> 00:56:13,990 I, I really wasn't thinking those things.
Even if I could find this, I don't think I'd, 1283 00:56:16,528.0000000004657 --> 00:56:17,168 books are my shit.

(56:17):
But yeah, if you did or if you c- if you liked it, maybe you could go through your likes and favorites.
I'm not gonna history views, 'cause- Yeah.
I turned that on now so that I can go back.
Then, y- yeah, please.
Send it to me so we can, we can- That's like, wow, that's so funny but so accurate- Yeah.
because if I knew what I was reading, or my parents knew what I was reading, they wouldn't have taken them to the library to get the books to begin with.
So back to the books, The Cows is about 3, mainly 3 women.

(56:37):
Mainly 3 women?
Well, I guess mainly 3 women their m- m- their lives.
Um, one's a single mum who goes viral after like she does something on the train, the other one is a blogger, and then one is a woman grieving, um, and desperate for a child.
And like their lives kind of
and their choices makes their lives collide, and a lot of things kind of happen.
And it's very dramatic, um, and the end is just, oh god.

(57:04):
Because these women are women who they're not the typical
um, and it, I guess, in a way, they, they, for to me, they are, weirdly enough, but I guess to quite a lot of people, they aren't.
Mm-hmm.
Um, but just read the book, just for the end.
I, I think it left me in a state of shock, anger.

(57:27):
Like, I think me reading that last bit, and she literally
the writer leaves it to the last minute.
And I said, "This bitch."
I just want
um, one of the best
I think that book actually got me back into reading- Mm-hmm.
in like 2016.
Um, so fantastic, great.

(57:51):
I love the book.
I keep recommending the book to anybody who can listen 'cause it's, it's so good.
Um, and then the next book obviously is a bit more for fun.
.0000000004657Uh, Married Lovers by Jackie Collins, very Hollywood, literally it's set in Hollywood. 1314 00:58:05,528.0000000004657 --> 00:58:11,888 Um, it's ambitious, there's sex, there's scandal, there's cheating.

(58:11):
And 3 women, one's an actress, one's a TV reporter, and one is a senator's wife.
Fantastic.
And they're chasing love, they're chasing power in Los Angalos, Los Angeles.
Um, there's betrayals.
And Jackie D- Collins does what she does best, she gives you intrigue, she gives you thrill, she gives you a story that just makes you want to keep reading and turning the page and to know what happens at the end.

(58:36):
And it's a good read.
And then finally, I've got How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by Katy or Katy.
Great.
Um, it's about an inst- in- um, influeni- influen- an Instagram influencer who accidentally kills someone.
.99999999953434Okay. 1325 00:58:53,87.99999999953434 --> 00:58:58,480 And then she realizes it's easy to get away with it because of certain things that she has access to.

(58:59):
And so she keeps doing it. 1327 00:59:02,587.9999999995343 --> 00:59:03,120 Wow.
And then she tells herself she's got rules.
There's rules.
It's kind of like Dexter meets Psycho meets social media.
She even has a stalker as well.
Oh, wow.
It's all very
Yeah, it's all very thrilling and fun.

(59:20):
Does the stalker know that she's killing people?
find
Well, if you read the book, you're gonna find out.
You're not telling.
Yeah, and there's a tale of revenge.
There's also this thing about her father.
Mm, mm, mm. 1342 00:59:30,587.9999999995343 --> 00:59:33,108 Yeah, very, it's very, very interesting.
.99999999953434And like I said, I'm still, I'm still reading it, so
.00000000046566Right, moving on to the final last 2 segments, we've got Versus. 1345 00:59:40,488.00000000046566 --> 00:59:47,504 So Versus, Versus, Versus, which relationship would you rather be in?

(59:48):
Mm-hmm.
Carrie and Mr. Big or Jess and Nick?
.99999999953434Um, am I imagining myself the woman in a relationship or just a relationship in general?
I mean, just to rel- uh, you're, you're not a man.
.9999999995343Would you imagine yourself with Mr. Big? 1351 01:00:04,587.9999999995343 --> 01:00:07,188 Would you rather be in a relationship with Carrie?
That's traumatic like that, you know?

(01:00:08):
Oh.
In whatever manner you see.
.0000000004657Okay. 1356 01:00:12,528.0000000004657 --> 01:00:14,544 So Mr. Big and Carrie or Jess and Nick?
.00000000046566Which one would you rather? 1358 01:00:16,28.00000000046566 --> 01:00:17,348 Which one would I rather be?
Jess and Nick.
Be in.
Yeah. 1362 01:00:19,587.9999999995343 --> 01:00:22,127.99999999953434 No, I think I can deal with toxic.
I can't deal with silly.
Can you not?
No.
It would grind my gears.
I know we would laugh- Mm-hmm.

(01:00:29):
But I'd rather laugh with an asshole than someone who
Because a man like Nick would get my hopes up about his talent and what he can do, and he would just keep letting me down.
You love a fixer-upper.
No, I do not.
know, you take on projects like
You take on projects.
Yeah, but Nick is not the type who would listen.

(01:00:51):
Nick doesn't want to do stuff until like the very end.
Mm-hmm.
He doesn't want to do anything.
I couldn't because again, we're, we're talking about the film.
That's just when the series ends.
She's still gonna have to deal with the man after.
I couldn't deal with that.
And when you say I like a fixer-upper, I just like to suggest things that could better someone's life.

(01:01:14):
And if they follow through, good for them.
If they don't, I'll never see them again.
So, you like her project?
I don't like her proj- it's not a project.
It's, it's not even a test.
It's just, you're saying you want better for yourself, kind of.
I mean, we can stay friends if you don't listen, like that's fine, but you're not gonna
Because you're just sad at this point.

(01:01:37):
Moving on.
Oh, sorry.
Which relationship would you rather be in, Kaname and Yuki, or Nana and Takumi?
Nana and Takumi.
I have no idea.
So the only one I know is, uh, Kaname and Yuki.
Oh, god.
Oh.
Oh, god, 'cause then she cheats on him, innit?
On Kaname?
Yeah, with, with 0.
She has kids with 0, doesn't she?
You forget that Kaname's her uncle.

(01:01:58):
Exactly.
I don't know.
No, I can't check it out.
He actually is a great uncle.
I know, but- So does it really count he a vampire?
Um.
No, fair play.
But what type- That's like-
of vampire are they?
Are they the ones with blood ties?
Um, no, they don't.
They, they're purebloods.
Kaname's a pureblood anyway, so he has no ties to anyone.
That's the one I know, so that's one I'm picking.

(01:02:20):
There we go.
Don't come for me.
Nobody come for me.
Nobody use this against me years to come when I'm become, when I'm like a staunch feminist.
Don't do it.
Um, which relationship would you rather be in, Meredith and Greg, Meredith and Derek, or Harvey and Donna?
Meredith and Derek.
You think?
I, Meredith, I, I, I cannot do

(01:02:43):
How many years was he dragging it on for?
Harvey, I mean.
And being in other relationships and having sex with other women in his office while she was there outside listening in, and knowing everything, and being his t- ride or die.
I don't have the capacity.
So we don't have the capacity.
I don't think so they got together at the end, did they?
I think they did.

(01:03:03):
They did.
Did they really?
Yeah.
They did.
They were end game.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Um- But Derek dies.
And then I'm a widower, and then?
.00000000046566I'm not the one who's dead.
She gets to have sex with DeLuca, doesn't she?
That is very true.
Yeah, yeah, I'll pick that one.

I don't know why I thought you had.
Um, okay.
Which would I be?
Uh, Blair and Chuck.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, Damon and Elena d- they did not need to be in a relationship.
Or if anything, maybe they should've just started it.
I don't, I don't know.

(01:04:08):
