Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waders
that this podcast is recorded on.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
From Mamma Mia. Welcome to the Spill, your daily pop
culture fix. I'm m Vernon and I'm Laura Brodneck. And
today we have a very special episode, a very salacious episode.
Oh yes, because we are doing what we always love
to do here at the Spill, where we do like
little roundups of our favorite TV and movie suggestions that
(00:47):
are encapsulated by a certain topic. And the topic today
is drum roll please LB whatever what you literally did
the gesture of a bee pollinating a flower?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Little drumsticks? Would you going to see if you watch
us on YouTube, which you can can on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Link in our show notes. Anyway, anyway, the topic of
today is love triangles that involve siblings.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, we're going there. I also can't stress enough how
this episode is not going to be about siblings cooking up,
although pop culture has.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Given us twenty of exces, like every episode of Game
of Thrones.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Game of Thrones flowers in the attic. The list goes on,
and so we might do that one day. But yes,
this is the best sibling love triangles of all time,
inspired by a very historic event that we are currently
living through. Literally for the history book, we're in the
room where it happens, as they say in Hamilton, another
(01:51):
story about siblings, Another sibling love triangle. Once you start looking,
they're everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They're literally everywhere where. So you know what, maybe you
should play close attention to your everyday life because you
never know they could be out there in the open.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And maybe you should have a close look at your
siblings and just be like, is there a world in
which we're all going for the same person?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Ask your sister, Hey, are you still friends with my
ex boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Hey? Or are you looking at my current boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Some people seeing cars right now, Just like, wait a second,
what the fuck are they talking about? So the historic
moment we're talking about is this generation's big love triangle.
Every generation has a movie or a TV show. It's
usually a TV show where there is a huge love
triangle happening. I mean, I put myself in your generation,
(02:40):
but for the earlier generation, I'm going to say it
was Dawson's Creek. Oh that's a many years build up,
huge love triangle. You're waiting for the final episode to
be like, who will she choose? And at the moment,
we are living that with the summer I Turn Pretty.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We are living it with a summer I Turn Pretty.
It is the show that has literally everyone in such
a choke hold. And since season one, we're now on
season three, which is a final season. But since season one,
we've had two camps. You're either teen Jeremiah, Team Conrad. Yeah,
and this is the season where everything's changed.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Which team are you have? We haven't really probably talked
about this. We saved it for the pod.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh I'm Tim Conrad.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Okay, that's the popular vote. You don't have to whisper
No I used to be or one of the many.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I used to be Team Jeremiah.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I would be really careful about saying that out loud.
I try that recently. It did not go well for me.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I used to be Team Jeremiah for season one, Team No. One,
Team Laurel actually in season two.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
That whole season was a fever dream that I don't wish.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To really And now I'm Team Conrad season three, which
I think most people are. I think the issue that
I have with this final season in the summer Turn Pretty.
Is that it's very obvious what team the showwriters want
you to be on.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yes, that is the consensus from a lot of people. Also,
if anyone who's not watching the summer in Turn Pretty,
we're obviously not going to spoiling thing one because we
don't know how it ends. We can't quick quick if
we try. But it's about a teenage girl called Belly
gets really rest name for a young woman who gets
really hot one summer, yeah, really sexy, and then she
goes to the beach house where she and her family
have been spending every summer with their very best family friends.
(04:21):
That family has two boys at the same age, Conrad
and Jeremiah Fisher, and they've all pretty much been raised
as siblings until she becomes hot and the boys start
fighting over her, and she dates and sleeps with both
of them until this final season where we're going to
find out who she chooses for good. Once you burn
it down, that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
She's living my dream.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So, yes, what's your critique of the Love Triangle? What's
your report card? Have they landed the ship in making
us really care about the three of them?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
They make us care for whoever they want us to
care about which I think does the triangle injustice right?
The triangle should be even size. It's an equal lateral triangle.
All love triangles are equal lateral. When it becomes obtuse
or acute, wow, I don't think that's even right. I
think there's a angles.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I believe you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
If one side is longer than the other two sides,
something's going wrong. Yeah, because with a perfect, perfect love triangle, Yeah,
you want to see each one of the lovers to
be equal.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yes, yes, I so agree.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And depending on who you are as a person in
your everyday life, that dictates who you would choose in
the love triangle.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yes, you're right. The recipe to a correct love triangle
in a TV show or movie is when the fandom
for the two people who are vying for the main
love interest is split in half and you could see
that person going either way. Yeah, it's you're right. This
skill is just like no one's team Jeremiah, except for
like sometimes me and a few other people, everyone's Team Conrad.
(05:53):
It seems the show is team Conrad. Again. We're all
invested in, we're watching and it's a red show obviously.
But yeah, I just don't know if this generation has
been done into service with their love triangle.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, I think we have a little bit. I mean,
the show is still going on. Who knows, I could
switch up, but it could switch I reckon. We have
to do it barely on the shriview.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh so yeah, you're gonna be emphasis on the brutal
because the things that Emily says about those boys.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I've said some Really, I don't even think I can
say things that on this podcast that I've said about
these two boys. But Gerda loins.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So we want to talk about some other sibling love
triangles throughout TV shows and movies that we think have
hit the mark. And I wanted to start with the
love triangle with siblings that I feel has been done
the best on a TV show that has been rolled
out in the best way. This is the gold standard
of how you do a love triangle with two siblings
(06:49):
and you still bring all the drama and sexinest and
that is the Vampire Diaries.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The Vampire Diaries is such. You've watched that, right, A
good one. I've watched half?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
How can you watch half? I just feel like it
gets so much better towards the end. I know that's
a controversial take. But once Elena leaves, which isn't a
smaller alert. It happened like ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I know how she leaves.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, this season actually, I feel like comes back with
a fresh vengeance and energy. And then Bonnie is the
lead girl and she's the best character on the show.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Okay, I'll give it another go. But it was like
during my time when I was also doing like Gossip
Girl and Pretty Little Liars, and it was just kind
of fell off, fell off. My list was a really
stressed teenager.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You had to go chase a lot of mysteries.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Oh my god, I have one of those old mac books.
I would just like literally heat my ovaries so I
couldn't watch that much TV.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You're like, who is A burning my head?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
My body's on fire, my reproductive organs are gone. I
must know who was a Lafto's about to take off?
Imagine if you burn your entire body or need to
find it. Dan was a gossip Girl, lets down.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
To find out that A was other spencer with the British.
Let's do we'll save that for we do an episode
of the Worst TV for hours. The whole time those
two up there, but no vampire Diaries is the story
of two vampire brothers.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Sexy brothers, brothers.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I cannot stress enough the hotness of these boys. I
love Damon, I know I love Damon too, but I
grow to love Stefan.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, because Damon now watching it as their dad, I'm like,
you're really mean. Oh no, you're like the worst man.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Also, Ian summer Holder, who plays Damon, has come out
and said, like, Damon, especially in season one, so problematic.
You shouldn't have even been on the show.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
His like introduction to us was him wanting to kill everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And him sexually assaulting. Yes, but then they give Then
they like make him like the lead characters, so he
has guys.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
This is so cool. We need to make him sexy.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, we can't have teen girls lusting after this wildly
problematic man even though he is a vampire. So it's
two very hot vampire brothers, the Salvators, who both fall
in love with Elena Gilbert, the prettiest, smartest girl at
a small town, that classic trope. He's also human, Yes,
goes in and out of being human during the show. Yeah,
and so at first it really sets up Stephan to
(09:03):
be like the ultimate love interest.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, and he's like the good boy.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, he's you have the good brothers, the hero, but
you find out that Stephan is secretly inside the more
dangerous brother. Yes, oh yes. But the reason that that
sibling love triangle is done so perfectly is that the
brother bond grows at the same time and is very strong.
And then both of their love stories with her are
(09:29):
really epic, and you do get to the end, I think,
wanting her to be with the vampire brother that she
ultimately chooses. But it could have gone either way, and
fans are split.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Really, fans like I always thought of have kind of
the same edit as Summer Time Pretty where everyone loved Damon.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well know, a lot of people are Team stephanah, and
obviously the team Team Damon is bigger, but Team Stephan
is a very vibrant and active community.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But I love Stephan after Lena, like I feel like.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, and him and Caroline together incredible. A sideplot that
no one cares about is I think I'm going to
start reading the Vampire Diaries books because I've never read them,
and everyone I talked to who's read them so is
that they're wildly different from the TV show, which I
do know so it's a whole new world. I don't
know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
My god, Okay, book Club, the spill.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The book cub, the spill? What everyone like to reread
The Vampire Diaries with me?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'mon.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You told me, what's your favorite movie or TV show
about siblings who have sex with the same person?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Way to explain it. I'm trying to figure out which
one I should do first.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh side note, would you date someone that has dated
your sister? Because you and your sister are nearly the
same age, so this could happen.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Oh, yes, that's a good point. Would I date someone
who has dated my sister?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Or would you? Because I was going to say, like,
would you cheat on your sister's boyfriend? But I need
to answer to that, so I borded it out so funny.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't think I would unless my parents really liked him.
Like if my sister dated someone and they ended amicably
and she has like no feelings for him at all,
and she wouldn't be hurt if I dated him and
my parents are like, damn really missed that guy, and
I just I'll be like, yeah, sure, okay, I'll bring
them back. Interesting, well, I mean myst will probably hate it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Boyfriends of Emily's sister past and present, get in touch
if you'd like to talk about some opportunities, and.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
As long as y'are not too young, because there is
like a six year difference between her.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, I did think, so they're kind of in the middle.
Look love, No, it's no bound.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
According to Leonardo DiCaprio, yeah, has the brain of a
thirty five year old.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Apparently, Yeah, thirty two year old, which is still a
big difference to twenty five, which is a woman he dates.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I don't know if that's the right age. Tell me
you're the Leonardo DiCaprio or the Sydney dating scene. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'm not okay. The one I want to talk about
first is one you mentioned before, which I feel like
passes as a movie because it is technically a movie.
I don't know where this is going on Disney Plus,
On Disney Plus, it's Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I know my sister like I know my own mine.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
You will never find anyone, is to Rusting Morris kay
and a mirillion years ago she said to me, this
one's mine.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So I stood by. Do you know why I love
my sister? M oh my god, I actually didn't know
you were doing Hamilton. I would have not brought it
up in Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And I was like, actually, I love that musical, which
is also a movie, like a musical movie, and it
has a love triangle in it that's also a real factual,
historical love triangle in real.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Life, which debunks my original thought that it's never two
sisters and a brother, because as I was going through
all my lists of the love triangles stories with siblings
and I want to talk about, it's all brothers and
a girl, brothers and a girl. And I was like,
you know what, because sisters don't do that to each other.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And I've got two sisters unless I got.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Two examples, unless you're the examples that Emily found.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yes, So I wanted to do Hamilton because if you
watch the musical, you would know Alexander Hamilton one of
the founding fathers in the US, his wife Eliza Skyler.
She's also a really well known historical figure in the US.
And then there was some letters uncovered and we found
out that he had really close correspondence with Angelica Skuyler,
(13:25):
who is Eliza's older sister. Do you think something happened
between them.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, do you reckon? Yes, I don't mean to like
burst your bubble. You're sweet in the simp bubble. But
they obviously hooked up, and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Then Eliza still bury them together. That's so sweet, sister
would though.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yes, that's the thing sister always trumps.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
A lot of the thing is with Hamilton is that
there was a plot twist because you think it's a
love triangle and then guess who walks in Mariah Reynolds.
What is she doing here? You're not related to any
of these women.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
At the end of the day, Hamilton is just a
soap opera with some catchy tunes.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Hamilton, these women deserve better.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, it should have been.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And he was three timing them all. Well, he got
his just deserts again, says I mean, I'm not going
to go through the whole plot.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And that lets do and please sing.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I can't, but like these two girls were singing at
him take a break. Yeah, and he did take a
break with Mariah Reynolds. Yeah, so you know what I
actually and now, just this just made me angry.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
At the end of the day, those sisters should go
and jointly date someone else.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I agree that ham No Hamilton was North and he
didn't have any siblings today. No, no, maybe one of
the other men, like John Lewis.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, that would have showed him.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
That would have showed him. Let's go back, love, that's
go back and tell them. Okay, give me one.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Okay. My next example is a movie that scarred me
in my childhood. I don't want to critique my mother's parenting,
but the woman was worried about me watching the Buffy
the Vampire Slayer because it had demons. Yet she'd let
me watch the nineteen ninety four war epic Legends of
the Fall. I will say, when I was about seven
or eight, it was just always on.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
That seems inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Have you seen that movie? No? Okay? So it stars
Brad Pitt, and during the movie he is nearly the
hottest he has ever been. Legends are The Fall Bride Pitch.
A lot of people say Thelma and Louise brad Pit
and he's very hot in that more of a rugged
hot this one. So he's one of three brothers.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
What's his hair like? Give me because I need to
know the brad Pit hair.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
At one stage, she has a long blonde ponytail and
he's really rugged, and he goes off and lives in
the mountains. At one stage it's very sexy, and he
like works on a property and.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Tasting man like you're the person who has like the
exact opposite taste in men.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, you wouldn't have a rugged brad Pit like building
things on a farm with his shirt off and like
a blonde pony more of.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
An ocean's eleven brad Pit like clean cut, you know,
with the like slightly dirty suit, always eating a hot dogs, yeah,
or like a prawn lobby blade pitch.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, we have different brad Pits. Yeah, that's we
would never be in a lot of triangle sometimes, and
I just feel like so important that we would not
be caught up in that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You've heard it here first.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So Legends of the Fault, Anthony Hopkins is the father
who lives out on this property in like, you know,
very rural place in America, and he has three sons,
Alfred who's the oldest son played by Aidan Quinn, Tristan
who is the middle son and kind of the wild
son played by Brad Pitt, and then the youngest son
is Samuel, and Samuel has been off studying college because
he's a smart one, and he's the baby of the
(16:29):
family and everyone loves him. And then one day he
returns home with his beautiful fiancee, Susanna played by Julia Ormond,
and the whole family's in love with her. And then
Samuel says that he's going to enlist in the war
and his brothers to protect him. Alfred and Tristan also
enlist in the war, and then the three brothers go away.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And oh my god, I know the story.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, and what happens is one of the saddest things
I have ever seen in a movie, which is the
way I got to say. I mean, I guess it's
kind of a spoiler, but also I have to say
it to like get through the rest of the movie.
Samuel dies in a horrific way where Tristan is running
to save him and he can hear me, can't get
there in time, so it kind of devastates the family
(17:13):
and it rips them all apart, and then Alfred and
Tristan returned to the farm with the father Susannah is devastated.
There's a whole thing where she's kind of in love
with Tristan, but Tristan's too heartbroken, so that Alfred marries
her but she's all and then like their marriage doesn't
really work out. The whole story is like the family
being really a strange and she is married to Alfred,
but she's in love with Tristan the whole time, and
(17:34):
he's in love with her, and it ends in a
really sad way. Pretty much everyone dies.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I can't mave you watched this as a seven year old.
I know is true.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's so romantic, but I think it's Yeah, I mean
there's I guess it's romance to it. And also it's
maybe it's more of a than a love triangle because
she's in love with all the brothers at one stage,
like she's officially in love with Samuel. She ends up
talking herself into loving Alfred, but her heart is truly
with the wild brother Tristan. Yeah, so it's an equal
(18:07):
love opportunity for all brothers.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Really, Oh my god. Yeah, that's a depressing line, not.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
To top of the episode.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I'll try to bring it up. I'll try to bring
it up.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's when that is when sibling loves stories. It's like
a cautionary tale.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, don't date your siblings ex because you might die.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Your whole family will end up dead, multiple people, and
one of them will be killed by a bear.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And that's the one thing we want you to take
away from the whole It's a life lesson. Okay. The
next one I want to talk about is a show
that everyone's.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Watched, okay and loved.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Oh and it's everyone's favorite season of this show.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh okay, wait, I don't have no idea what this.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Is Season two of Bridgerton.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh my god. I think the yearning in this season
is yearning I have never seen before in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Jonathan Bailey. He yearns.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, he loves no one.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Else can yearn on the screen. Maybe that's what was
missing from the last Jurassic Park movie.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yes, because he wasn't yearning.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He was yearning for no one. He kind of yearned
to see dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He was yearning for those dinosaurs having sex.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And then when he saw the dinosaurs having sex, he
was happy. But after that his yearning went away.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
His yearning stopped there. Yeah, he needs to six romances.
I think so. It stars Jonathan Bailey. He plays Anthony Bridgeton,
and it's his season of Bridgeton, where he finds love.
We are introduced to a new family, the Sharma sisters,
Auena Sharma and Kate Sharma. Kate Sharma's the older sister
and she feels like it's her responsibility to look after
(19:42):
the family, so she has to marry her sister off
because she has to go back to India to be
a governess, which is a very important job, especially for
a woman at that time. Apparently in Bridgeton.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's like the only job available.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Also, she's twenty six, so she's too old to be married.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh that has spin stage.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It's her age an embarrassment. We could never she's too
old to find a husband. So she's like, you know what,
I'm going to help my sister find a husband and
then I'm going to go back and look after our finances,
in charge of his family. Like she's acting as the
lord of her family.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yes, yes, And I guess the extra kind of context
there is like her mother passed away, right, Yes, her
sister is her half sister because her father remarried, and
she kind of feels like to fit into this new
family that her father made, she has to sort of
give everything up for the sister who was like the
golden child of the family.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, and Aduen is so small and cute, and then
so she goes.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
From annoying sometimes right, I think she's got real little
sister energy, real little sister energy specific type of energy.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, but also needed that because the showwriters obviously needed
us to ship Kate and Anthony together. We do, and
we do. So they meet Anthony Bridgeton and she's like, oh,
he's perfect, go with him, Go shoo shishu. And then
later on we find out Anthony is not the only
one yearning. Oh yeah, Kate's also a big yearna.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh my god. So many good moments in that whole situation. Okay,
So the wedding scene when she looks around and realizes
as they're about to get married that her sister and
her soon to be husband are in love with each
other one of the most traumatic moments I've ever seen
on TV.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Oh my god. The acting in that scene is ten out.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Of ten acting.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Whether Anthony and Kate look at each other and it
was like, have I been blind this whole time?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes? Girl, yes you have. And then everyone else is like,
oh god because they could all see it.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And it's also like the type of love triangle I
love because it's in this specific period of time where
it definitely can't happen. So like Kate and Anthony barely
have any actual, like physically sexual moments. It's all just
about the eyes. It's all just about the way they
talk to each other because they physically can't do anything
together because it's like so so bad if they did,
(21:53):
compared to other love triangles where they're like fuck it, yeah, exactly,
where they just hook up behind the scenes, they do
have sex and my higazeba or something, right, she wakes
up and he's gone the worst behavior. When I watched
that scene with both my mum and my manner, and it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Was a really long scene. We've talked about this, I know,
watching old sex scenes with your mother and grandmother. If
you want to do that, that's fine, but you get
I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Want to do it.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
You won't even watch a sex scene in a movie
when I'm next to you.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Oh God, I think I've just been traumatic.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I once went to a movie and a guy took
his shirt off and you slid onto the floor and
he'd your eyes and said, why did you bring me
to watchorn?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Firstly, it was Magic Mike, So we did a bit
more than just take a shirt off.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I think that's literally we took a shirt.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Off for like ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, and what you didn't see you've never seen Channing
Tatum's taught abs before. Now.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I hadn't watched any other Magic Mics. That was the
first one, and it was also the last.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Movie watch sex scenes with people. I'm like, I can't
stress enough how much this is not a sex scenes.
That's a shirtless man. If you go down to Bondai,
you'll see them everywhere.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'm a Proude I should be in bridget Tim. I
feel like that world just perfectly encapsulates.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
However, Yeah, like you just show a little bit of
andn Caleman like run away. You look across, you look
across a room and you're like, we're getting married just
from a walk.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Maybe that's more your form of being so easy.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And then you just don't see your husband to the
wedding day and never again afterwards.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It actually sounds so great back it's like a Bridgeton's
season three. There's no simply triangle there. But when the
Lord wants to marry Penelope and like just let her
run his house where he travels overseas. I'm like, that's
a great deal. Take a good deal. Literally, you could
not get a better deal.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
We're getting so many learnings out of the time, so I.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Feel like we have to do dating by Bridgitton rules.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Dated by Bridgitton rules.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay. I think we have time for one now.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Okay, because I saved my favorite. This is one of
my favorite movies that I also watched as a kid.
But my mum did a good job with this one
because it's so beautiful and I watch it once a
year now and it's always a really special moment. Oh Sabrina.
Have you seen it?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
The teenage Witch?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
No? Oh my god, the name of the movie is Sabrina. Okay.
Here's where any kind of movie buff in the world
will really judge me. Okay, because the original Sabrina is
the Audrey Burned one from the fifties Old School, and
that is a lovely movie. But in this case, I
love the rebake more than the original. I love nineteen
ninety five with Julia Ormond, Oh my god, Julia on
(24:07):
wand just the lead in two of my I just
realized because she's as well, Oh my god, I got
Julia so weird in all the sibling that's actually really weird.
That is she doing triangle movies. It's when she was
looking for in a script.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh my god. So I mean, while both of these
movies came out before I was born. The remake, that's
insane to me.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Wait ninety nine, Oh yeah, ninety ninety five. Okay, well
you missed a great movie.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Full remake, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, the first one came out in the fifties. So
Sabrina and I highly highly recommend everyone what she say,
it's the perfect movie Friday night or no, it's on
heaps of streaming services. I think it's on I think
last time I watched, he was on Prime. But it's
on Heat. Just type in Sabrina and you'll see it.
So yeah, So the Julian one version from nineteen ninety five,
so Julia in one plays Sabrina and her father is
(25:00):
the chauffeur to a very very very rich family called
the Larabie family. So because this family is so rich,
all of their staff live on the estate. So her
and her father live and a little house on the estate,
and Sabrina is this like very nerdy, awkward girl, and
she like climbs up into the trees to watch the
Larabee family have their beautiful parties, and you know, is
(25:21):
like wanting to be in that world, but she's so
shy and she is very, very in love with it.
So the Larrabie family have two brothers. Linus is the
older brother, Lioness Linus Larabie played by Harrison Ford. Oh,
but she's in love with the younger brother, who is
like the playboy, the face of the family. Everyone's in
love with him. The dashing day.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
It feels like, yeah, a prince William Printer, Harry.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, it is a bit like that. You've got like
the stoic older brother who's like the head of the
family and he's going to take over the Larabie fortune
and everything's on him. And you've got the playboy party
younger brother who everyone is like, he's the handsome, gorgeous one.
And that's David Larabie played by Greg Kinnea in his
first leading role in the movie.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Oh my God, and so beautiful cast.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh, I know, it's so good and like the sets
and the costumes and so as Sabrina becomes young woman,
gets into her early twenties, she goes to Paris to
study and while she's there, like has a bit of
a makeover, and she comes back like drop dead gorgeous.
The brothers don't recognize her, and before, not knowing who
she was, David kind of falls in love with her.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Plot twist.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
He's engaged to someone that's been set up through the
family and their businesses are going to merge to the families,
Like he can't date the driver's daughter. No, even though
she's come back from.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Paris, we made a business deal.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, even though she's come back from Paris or beautiful.
And when she enters the party, because he invites her
to the party not knowing who she was, he just
thinks she's a beautiful stranger who's like come to the
visit their house, and so she rocks up to their
party for the first time ever. She's invited to the
party she watched growing up. And when she comes out
in this green velvet dress with like a glittering cape,
it's so good. So Linus is like, this isn't gonna happen,
(26:59):
so he steps in to kind of distract Sabrina and
keep her away from David until like the marriage can
go through. But then does he start having feelings for
her as well?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And does go into disarray wait, you'll have to watch
je does someone flee to Paris? And does someone flee
after her on the concord to chase her down?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
They always go to Paris?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Oh my god. It's so good. And I love a
movie where like, again the stakes are high because you're like,
but David but Linus, Oh my god, and like the
sets are beautiful, and like Harrison Ford is so good
in this movie because at first he's this grumpy, awful
older brother. Yeah, and she was like I don't really
want to spend time with Conrad, Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
under But then over time she starts to and he
(27:46):
starts to and he never thought that she.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Goes to Paris and Belly's gonna go to Paris? Yeah,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh my god. So it's the yeah and all the
sibling love triangles. It's definitely my favorite movie version of it,
Oh my god, because again the steaks are so high
of like, who is she going to choose? The romances there?
It's like, oh, the family business and again the family
business is at stake to watch this. I actually think
you'll love it. It does really hold up because it's
(28:11):
very much like a very old school kind of.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I feel like most romance movies do hold up.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, because romance is almost like a universal thing, like
times change and people change, but and.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
We love a love trying.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah. Love triangles have been around forever. Oh my god,
what as Hamilton has.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Taught us has been around for a really long time.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So yes, Sabrina again. There's two versions, So the Audrey
Hepburn one is lovely. I don't want to take away
from that, but just personally for me, the real magic
is in the Julia or Monte Harris and Ford version,
So just make sure you watch that.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Okay, I'm so excited. Also quickly before we go, honorable
mention Little Women.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Little Women again. My only thing on that is like
Joe is just never in love with Lri. It's so small.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Laurie of like thinking he has a choice, but he
really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It's more like Laurie Joe, and then he side trucks
to Amy, so it's more like a little pyramid.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
He's like, oh, Amy, you're close to Joe, so it
doesn't marry you.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I love how She's like, I will never marry someone
who's in love with my sister.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
And he's like, but you did, though, they do. They do.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's like half a triangle.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
A right angle triangle.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, oh wait, you were the math friends.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Maybe those are the right terms. I don't actually don't.
I can't picture you.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You can literally say anything at this I believe you.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Thank you so much. That's all I needed.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
And do get in touch and tell us if you've
ever been in love with your siblings husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, partner.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Or if someone's been in love with both you and
your siblings at the same time. I think that's even
more fun.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
We're not going to do anything with this information. We're
not going to do a podcast and anything. We just
want to know.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
We just want to know and then gossip about it
my friends. Yeah, it's safe with us. It's safe with us.
If you have time, we would love it if you
could fill out a little survey we have in our
show notes. It will take you twenty minutes and you'll
get a free month of Mama Mia and a ten
dollar e gift card. Don't forget to follow us on TikTok.
The Spill is produced by a Minicius one resign production
by Scott Stonik, And we'll be back here on your podcast,
(29:58):
Speed with Celebrity Headlines at eight am on Monday. Bye Bye,
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waders
that this podcast is recorded on.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
From Mamma Mia. Welcome to the Spill, your daily pop
culture fix. I'm m Vernon and I'm Laura Brodneck. And
today we have a very special episode, a very salacious episode.
Oh yes, because we are doing what we always love
to do here at the Spill, where we do like
little roundups of our favorite TV and movie suggestions that
(00:47):
are encapsulated by a certain topic. And the topic today
is drum roll please LB whatever what you literally did
the gesture of a bee pollinating a flower?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Little drumsticks? Would you going to see if you watch
us on YouTube, which you can can on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Link in our show notes. Anyway, anyway, the topic of
today is love triangles that involve siblings.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, we're going there. I also can't stress enough how
this episode is not going to be about siblings cooking up,
although pop culture has.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Given us twenty of exces, like every episode of Game
of Thrones.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Game of Thrones flowers in the attic. The list goes on,
and so we might do that one day. But yes,
this is the best sibling love triangles of all time,
inspired by a very historic event that we are currently
living through. Literally for the history book, we're in the
room where it happens, as they say in Hamilton, another
(01:51):
story about siblings, Another sibling love triangle. Once you start looking,
they're everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
They're literally everywhere where. So you know what, maybe you
should play close attention to your everyday life because you
never know they could be out there in the open.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And maybe you should have a close look at your
siblings and just be like, is there a world in
which we're all going for the same person?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Ask your sister, Hey, are you still friends with my
ex boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Hey? Or are you looking at my current boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Some people seeing cars right now, Just like, wait a second,
what the fuck are they talking about? So the historic
moment we're talking about is this generation's big love triangle.
Every generation has a movie or a TV show. It's
usually a TV show where there is a huge love
triangle happening. I mean, I put myself in your generation,
(02:40):
but for the earlier generation, I'm going to say it
was Dawson's Creek. Oh that's a many years build up,
huge love triangle. You're waiting for the final episode to
be like, who will she choose? And at the moment,
we are living that with the summer I Turn Pretty.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We are living it with a summer I Turn Pretty.
It is the show that has literally everyone in such
a choke hold. And since season one, we're now on
season three, which is a final season. But since season one,
we've had two camps. You're either teen Jeremiah, Team Conrad. Yeah,
and this is the season where everything's changed.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Which team are you have? We haven't really probably talked
about this. We saved it for the pod.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh I'm Tim Conrad.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Okay, that's the popular vote. You don't have to whisper
No I used to be or one of the many.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I used to be Team Jeremiah.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I would be really careful about saying that out loud.
I try that recently. It did not go well for me.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I used to be Team Jeremiah for season one, Team No. One,
Team Laurel actually in season two.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
That whole season was a fever dream that I don't wish.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To really And now I'm Team Conrad season three, which
I think most people are. I think the issue that
I have with this final season in the summer Turn Pretty.
Is that it's very obvious what team the showwriters want
you to be on.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yes, that is the consensus from a lot of people. Also,
if anyone who's not watching the summer in Turn Pretty,
we're obviously not going to spoiling thing one because we
don't know how it ends. We can't quick quick if
we try. But it's about a teenage girl called Belly
gets really rest name for a young woman who gets
really hot one summer, yeah, really sexy, and then she
goes to the beach house where she and her family
have been spending every summer with their very best family friends.
(04:21):
That family has two boys at the same age, Conrad
and Jeremiah Fisher, and they've all pretty much been raised
as siblings until she becomes hot and the boys start
fighting over her, and she dates and sleeps with both
of them until this final season where we're going to
find out who she chooses for good. Once you burn
it down, that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
She's living my dream.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So, yes, what's your critique of the Love Triangle? What's
your report card? Have they landed the ship in making
us really care about the three of them?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
They make us care for whoever they want us to
care about which I think does the triangle injustice right?
The triangle should be even size. It's an equal lateral triangle.
All love triangles are equal lateral. When it becomes obtuse
or acute, wow, I don't think that's even right. I
think there's a angles.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I believe you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
If one side is longer than the other two sides,
something's going wrong. Yeah, because with a perfect, perfect love triangle, Yeah,
you want to see each one of the lovers to
be equal.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yes, yes, I so agree.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And depending on who you are as a person in
your everyday life, that dictates who you would choose in
the love triangle.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yes, you're right. The recipe to a correct love triangle
in a TV show or movie is when the fandom
for the two people who are vying for the main
love interest is split in half and you could see
that person going either way. Yeah, it's you're right. This
skill is just like no one's team Jeremiah, except for
like sometimes me and a few other people, everyone's Team Conrad.
(05:53):
It seems the show is team Conrad. Again. We're all
invested in, we're watching and it's a red show obviously.
But yeah, I just don't know if this generation has
been done into service with their love triangle.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, I think we have a little bit. I mean,
the show is still going on. Who knows, I could
switch up, but it could switch I reckon. We have
to do it barely on the shriview.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh so yeah, you're gonna be emphasis on the brutal
because the things that Emily says about those boys.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I've said some Really, I don't even think I can
say things that on this podcast that I've said about
these two boys. But Gerda loins.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So we want to talk about some other sibling love
triangles throughout TV shows and movies that we think have
hit the mark. And I wanted to start with the
love triangle with siblings that I feel has been done
the best on a TV show that has been rolled
out in the best way. This is the gold standard
of how you do a love triangle with two siblings
(06:49):
and you still bring all the drama and sexinest and
that is the Vampire Diaries.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The Vampire Diaries is such. You've watched that, right, A
good one. I've watched half?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
How can you watch half? I just feel like it
gets so much better towards the end. I know that's
a controversial take. But once Elena leaves, which isn't a
smaller alert. It happened like ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I know how she leaves.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, this season actually, I feel like comes back with
a fresh vengeance and energy. And then Bonnie is the
lead girl and she's the best character on the show.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Okay, I'll give it another go. But it was like
during my time when I was also doing like Gossip
Girl and Pretty Little Liars, and it was just kind
of fell off, fell off. My list was a really
stressed teenager.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You had to go chase a lot of mysteries.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Oh my god, I have one of those old mac books.
I would just like literally heat my ovaries so I
couldn't watch that much TV.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You're like, who is A burning my head?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
My body's on fire, my reproductive organs are gone. I
must know who was a Lafto's about to take off?
Imagine if you burn your entire body or need to
find it. Dan was a gossip Girl, lets down.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
To find out that A was other spencer with the British.
Let's do we'll save that for we do an episode
of the Worst TV for hours. The whole time those
two up there, but no vampire Diaries is the story
of two vampire brothers.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Sexy brothers, brothers.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I cannot stress enough the hotness of these boys. I
love Damon, I know I love Damon too, but I
grow to love Stefan.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, because Damon now watching it as their dad, I'm like,
you're really mean. Oh no, you're like the worst man.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Also, Ian summer Holder, who plays Damon, has come out
and said, like, Damon, especially in season one, so problematic.
You shouldn't have even been on the show.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
His like introduction to us was him wanting to kill everyone.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And him sexually assaulting. Yes, but then they give Then
they like make him like the lead characters, so he
has guys.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
This is so cool. We need to make him sexy.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, we can't have teen girls lusting after this wildly
problematic man even though he is a vampire. So it's
two very hot vampire brothers, the Salvators, who both fall
in love with Elena Gilbert, the prettiest, smartest girl at
a small town, that classic trope. He's also human, Yes,
goes in and out of being human during the show. Yeah,
and so at first it really sets up Stephan to
(09:03):
be like the ultimate love interest.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, and he's like the good boy.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, he's you have the good brothers, the hero, but
you find out that Stephan is secretly inside the more
dangerous brother. Yes, oh yes. But the reason that that
sibling love triangle is done so perfectly is that the
brother bond grows at the same time and is very strong.
And then both of their love stories with her are
(09:29):
really epic, and you do get to the end, I think,
wanting her to be with the vampire brother that she
ultimately chooses. But it could have gone either way, and
fans are split.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Really, fans like I always thought of have kind of
the same edit as Summer Time Pretty where everyone loved Damon.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well know, a lot of people are Team stephanah, and
obviously the team Team Damon is bigger, but Team Stephan
is a very vibrant and active community.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But I love Stephan after Lena, like I feel like.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, and him and Caroline together incredible. A sideplot that
no one cares about is I think I'm going to
start reading the Vampire Diaries books because I've never read them,
and everyone I talked to who's read them so is
that they're wildly different from the TV show, which I
do know so it's a whole new world. I don't
know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
My god, Okay, book Club, the spill.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The book cub, the spill? What everyone like to reread
The Vampire Diaries with me?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'mon.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You told me, what's your favorite movie or TV show
about siblings who have sex with the same person?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Way to explain it. I'm trying to figure out which
one I should do first.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh side note, would you date someone that has dated
your sister? Because you and your sister are nearly the
same age, so this could happen.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Oh, yes, that's a good point. Would I date someone
who has dated my sister?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Or would you? Because I was going to say, like,
would you cheat on your sister's boyfriend? But I need
to answer to that, so I borded it out so funny.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't think I would unless my parents really liked him.
Like if my sister dated someone and they ended amicably
and she has like no feelings for him at all,
and she wouldn't be hurt if I dated him and
my parents are like, damn really missed that guy, and
I just I'll be like, yeah, sure, okay, I'll bring
them back. Interesting, well, I mean myst will probably hate it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Boyfriends of Emily's sister past and present, get in touch
if you'd like to talk about some opportunities, and.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
As long as y'are not too young, because there is
like a six year difference between her.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, I did think, so they're kind of in the middle.
Look love, No, it's no bound.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
According to Leonardo DiCaprio, yeah, has the brain of a
thirty five year old.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Apparently, Yeah, thirty two year old, which is still a
big difference to twenty five, which is a woman he dates.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I don't know if that's the right age. Tell me
you're the Leonardo DiCaprio or the Sydney dating scene. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'm not okay. The one I want to talk about
first is one you mentioned before, which I feel like
passes as a movie because it is technically a movie.
I don't know where this is going on Disney Plus,
On Disney Plus, it's Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I know my sister like I know my own mine.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
You will never find anyone, is to Rusting Morris kay
and a mirillion years ago she said to me, this
one's mine.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So I stood by. Do you know why I love
my sister? M oh my god, I actually didn't know
you were doing Hamilton. I would have not brought it
up in Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And I was like, actually, I love that musical, which
is also a movie, like a musical movie, and it
has a love triangle in it that's also a real factual,
historical love triangle in real.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Life, which debunks my original thought that it's never two
sisters and a brother, because as I was going through
all my lists of the love triangles stories with siblings
and I want to talk about, it's all brothers and
a girl, brothers and a girl. And I was like,
you know what, because sisters don't do that to each other.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
And I've got two sisters unless I got.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Two examples, unless you're the examples that Emily found.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yes, So I wanted to do Hamilton because if you
watch the musical, you would know Alexander Hamilton one of
the founding fathers in the US, his wife Eliza Skyler.
She's also a really well known historical figure in the US.
And then there was some letters uncovered and we found
out that he had really close correspondence with Angelica Skuyler,
(13:25):
who is Eliza's older sister. Do you think something happened
between them.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, do you reckon? Yes, I don't mean to like
burst your bubble. You're sweet in the simp bubble. But
they obviously hooked up, and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Then Eliza still bury them together. That's so sweet, sister
would though.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yes, that's the thing sister always trumps.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
A lot of the thing is with Hamilton is that
there was a plot twist because you think it's a
love triangle and then guess who walks in Mariah Reynolds.
What is she doing here? You're not related to any
of these women.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
At the end of the day, Hamilton is just a
soap opera with some catchy tunes.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Hamilton, these women deserve better.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, it should have been.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And he was three timing them all. Well, he got
his just deserts again, says I mean, I'm not going
to go through the whole plot.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And that lets do and please sing.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I can't, but like these two girls were singing at
him take a break. Yeah, and he did take a
break with Mariah Reynolds. Yeah, so you know what I
actually and now, just this just made me angry.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
At the end of the day, those sisters should go
and jointly date someone else.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I agree that ham No Hamilton was North and he
didn't have any siblings today. No, no, maybe one of
the other men, like John Lewis.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, that would have showed him.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
That would have showed him. Let's go back, love, that's
go back and tell them. Okay, give me one.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Okay. My next example is a movie that scarred me
in my childhood. I don't want to critique my mother's parenting,
but the woman was worried about me watching the Buffy
the Vampire Slayer because it had demons. Yet she'd let
me watch the nineteen ninety four war epic Legends of
the Fall. I will say, when I was about seven
or eight, it was just always on.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
That seems inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Have you seen that movie? No? Okay? So it stars
Brad Pitt, and during the movie he is nearly the
hottest he has ever been. Legends are The Fall Bride Pitch.
A lot of people say Thelma and Louise brad Pit
and he's very hot in that more of a rugged
hot this one. So he's one of three brothers.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
What's his hair like? Give me because I need to
know the brad Pit hair.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
At one stage, she has a long blonde ponytail and
he's really rugged, and he goes off and lives in
the mountains. At one stage it's very sexy, and he
like works on a property and.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Tasting man like you're the person who has like the
exact opposite taste in men.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, you wouldn't have a rugged brad Pit like building
things on a farm with his shirt off and like
a blonde pony more of.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
An ocean's eleven brad Pit like clean cut, you know,
with the like slightly dirty suit, always eating a hot dogs, yeah,
or like a prawn lobby blade pitch.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, we have different brad Pits. Yeah, that's we
would never be in a lot of triangle sometimes, and
I just feel like so important that we would not
be caught up in that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You've heard it here first.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So Legends of the Fault, Anthony Hopkins is the father
who lives out on this property in like, you know,
very rural place in America, and he has three sons,
Alfred who's the oldest son played by Aidan Quinn, Tristan
who is the middle son and kind of the wild
son played by Brad Pitt, and then the youngest son
is Samuel, and Samuel has been off studying college because
he's a smart one, and he's the baby of the
(16:29):
family and everyone loves him. And then one day he
returns home with his beautiful fiancee, Susanna played by Julia Ormond,
and the whole family's in love with her. And then
Samuel says that he's going to enlist in the war
and his brothers to protect him. Alfred and Tristan also
enlist in the war, and then the three brothers go away.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And oh my god, I know the story.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, and what happens is one of the saddest things
I have ever seen in a movie, which is the
way I got to say. I mean, I guess it's
kind of a spoiler, but also I have to say
it to like get through the rest of the movie.
Samuel dies in a horrific way where Tristan is running
to save him and he can hear me, can't get
there in time, so it kind of devastates the family
(17:13):
and it rips them all apart, and then Alfred and
Tristan returned to the farm with the father Susannah is devastated.
There's a whole thing where she's kind of in love
with Tristan, but Tristan's too heartbroken, so that Alfred marries
her but she's all and then like their marriage doesn't
really work out. The whole story is like the family
being really a strange and she is married to Alfred,
but she's in love with Tristan the whole time, and
(17:34):
he's in love with her, and it ends in a
really sad way. Pretty much everyone dies.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I can't mave you watched this as a seven year old.
I know is true.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's so romantic, but I think it's Yeah, I mean
there's I guess it's romance to it. And also it's
maybe it's more of a than a love triangle because
she's in love with all the brothers at one stage,
like she's officially in love with Samuel. She ends up
talking herself into loving Alfred, but her heart is truly
with the wild brother Tristan. Yeah, so it's an equal
(18:07):
love opportunity for all brothers.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Really, Oh my god. Yeah, that's a depressing line, not.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
To top of the episode.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I'll try to bring it up. I'll try to bring
it up.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's when that is when sibling loves stories. It's like
a cautionary tale.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, don't date your siblings ex because you might die.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Your whole family will end up dead, multiple people, and
one of them will be killed by a bear.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And that's the one thing we want you to take
away from the whole It's a life lesson. Okay. The
next one I want to talk about is a show
that everyone's.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Watched, okay and loved.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Oh and it's everyone's favorite season of this show.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh okay, wait, I don't have no idea what this.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Is Season two of Bridgerton.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh my god. I think the yearning in this season
is yearning I have never seen before in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Jonathan Bailey. He yearns.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, he loves no one.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Else can yearn on the screen. Maybe that's what was
missing from the last Jurassic Park movie.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yes, because he wasn't yearning.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He was yearning for no one. He kind of yearned
to see dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He was yearning for those dinosaurs having sex.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And then when he saw the dinosaurs having sex, he
was happy. But after that his yearning went away.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
His yearning stopped there. Yeah, he needs to six romances.
I think so. It stars Jonathan Bailey. He plays Anthony Bridgeton,
and it's his season of Bridgeton, where he finds love.
We are introduced to a new family, the Sharma sisters,
Auena Sharma and Kate Sharma. Kate Sharma's the older sister
and she feels like it's her responsibility to look after
(19:42):
the family, so she has to marry her sister off
because she has to go back to India to be
a governess, which is a very important job, especially for
a woman at that time. Apparently in Bridgeton.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's like the only job available.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Also, she's twenty six, so she's too old to be married.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh that has spin stage.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It's her age an embarrassment. We could never she's too
old to find a husband. So she's like, you know what,
I'm going to help my sister find a husband and
then I'm going to go back and look after our finances,
in charge of his family. Like she's acting as the
lord of her family.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yes, yes, And I guess the extra kind of context
there is like her mother passed away, right, Yes, her
sister is her half sister because her father remarried, and
she kind of feels like to fit into this new
family that her father made, she has to sort of
give everything up for the sister who was like the
golden child of the family.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, and Aduen is so small and cute, and then
so she goes.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
From annoying sometimes right, I think she's got real little
sister energy, real little sister energy specific type of energy.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, but also needed that because the showwriters obviously needed
us to ship Kate and Anthony together. We do, and
we do. So they meet Anthony Bridgeton and she's like, oh,
he's perfect, go with him, Go shoo shishu. And then
later on we find out Anthony is not the only
one yearning. Oh yeah, Kate's also a big yearna.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh my god. So many good moments in that whole situation. Okay,
So the wedding scene when she looks around and realizes
as they're about to get married that her sister and
her soon to be husband are in love with each
other one of the most traumatic moments I've ever seen
on TV.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Oh my god. The acting in that scene is ten out.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Of ten acting.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Whether Anthony and Kate look at each other and it
was like, have I been blind this whole time?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes? Girl, yes you have. And then everyone else is like,
oh god because they could all see it.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And it's also like the type of love triangle I
love because it's in this specific period of time where
it definitely can't happen. So like Kate and Anthony barely
have any actual, like physically sexual moments. It's all just
about the eyes. It's all just about the way they
talk to each other because they physically can't do anything
together because it's like so so bad if they did,
(21:53):
compared to other love triangles where they're like fuck it, yeah, exactly,
where they just hook up behind the scenes, they do
have sex and my higazeba or something, right, she wakes
up and he's gone the worst behavior. When I watched
that scene with both my mum and my manner, and it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Was a really long scene. We've talked about this, I know,
watching old sex scenes with your mother and grandmother. If
you want to do that, that's fine, but you get
I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Want to do it.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
You won't even watch a sex scene in a movie
when I'm next to you.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Oh God, I think I've just been traumatic.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I once went to a movie and a guy took
his shirt off and you slid onto the floor and
he'd your eyes and said, why did you bring me
to watchorn?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Firstly, it was Magic Mike, So we did a bit
more than just take a shirt off.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I think that's literally we took a shirt.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Off for like ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, and what you didn't see you've never seen Channing
Tatum's taught abs before. Now.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I hadn't watched any other Magic Mics. That was the
first one, and it was also the last.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Movie watch sex scenes with people. I'm like, I can't
stress enough how much this is not a sex scenes.
That's a shirtless man. If you go down to Bondai,
you'll see them everywhere.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'm a Proude I should be in bridget Tim. I
feel like that world just perfectly encapsulates.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
However, Yeah, like you just show a little bit of
andn Caleman like run away. You look across, you look
across a room and you're like, we're getting married just
from a walk.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Maybe that's more your form of being so easy.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And then you just don't see your husband to the
wedding day and never again afterwards.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It actually sounds so great back it's like a Bridgeton's
season three. There's no simply triangle there. But when the
Lord wants to marry Penelope and like just let her
run his house where he travels overseas. I'm like, that's
a great deal. Take a good deal. Literally, you could
not get a better deal.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
We're getting so many learnings out of the time, so I.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Feel like we have to do dating by Bridgitton rules.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Dated by Bridgitton rules.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay. I think we have time for one now.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Okay, because I saved my favorite. This is one of
my favorite movies that I also watched as a kid.
But my mum did a good job with this one
because it's so beautiful and I watch it once a
year now and it's always a really special moment. Oh Sabrina.
Have you seen it?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
The teenage Witch?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
No? Oh my god, the name of the movie is Sabrina. Okay.
Here's where any kind of movie buff in the world
will really judge me. Okay, because the original Sabrina is
the Audrey Burned one from the fifties Old School, and
that is a lovely movie. But in this case, I
love the rebake more than the original. I love nineteen
ninety five with Julia Ormond, Oh my god, Julia on
(24:07):
wand just the lead in two of my I just
realized because she's as well, Oh my god, I got
Julia so weird in all the sibling that's actually really weird.
That is she doing triangle movies. It's when she was
looking for in a script.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh my god. So I mean, while both of these
movies came out before I was born. The remake, that's
insane to me.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Wait ninety nine, Oh yeah, ninety ninety five. Okay, well
you missed a great movie.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Full remake, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, the first one came out in the fifties. So
Sabrina and I highly highly recommend everyone what she say,
it's the perfect movie Friday night or no, it's on
heaps of streaming services. I think it's on I think
last time I watched, he was on Prime. But it's
on Heat. Just type in Sabrina and you'll see it.
So yeah, So the Julian one version from nineteen ninety five,
so Julia in one plays Sabrina and her father is
(25:00):
the chauffeur to a very very very rich family called
the Larabie family. So because this family is so rich,
all of their staff live on the estate. So her
and her father live and a little house on the estate,
and Sabrina is this like very nerdy, awkward girl, and
she like climbs up into the trees to watch the
Larabee family have their beautiful parties, and you know, is
(25:21):
like wanting to be in that world, but she's so
shy and she is very, very in love with it.
So the Larrabie family have two brothers. Linus is the
older brother, Lioness Linus Larabie played by Harrison Ford. Oh,
but she's in love with the younger brother, who is
like the playboy, the face of the family. Everyone's in
love with him. The dashing day.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
It feels like, yeah, a prince William Printer, Harry.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, it is a bit like that. You've got like
the stoic older brother who's like the head of the
family and he's going to take over the Larabie fortune
and everything's on him. And you've got the playboy party
younger brother who everyone is like, he's the handsome, gorgeous one.
And that's David Larabie played by Greg Kinnea in his
first leading role in the movie.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Oh my God, and so beautiful cast.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh, I know, it's so good and like the sets
and the costumes and so as Sabrina becomes young woman,
gets into her early twenties, she goes to Paris to
study and while she's there, like has a bit of
a makeover, and she comes back like drop dead gorgeous.
The brothers don't recognize her, and before, not knowing who
she was, David kind of falls in love with her.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Plot twist.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
He's engaged to someone that's been set up through the
family and their businesses are going to merge to the families,
Like he can't date the driver's daughter. No, even though
she's come back from.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Paris, we made a business deal.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, even though she's come back from Paris or beautiful.
And when she enters the party, because he invites her
to the party not knowing who she was, he just
thinks she's a beautiful stranger who's like come to the
visit their house, and so she rocks up to their
party for the first time ever. She's invited to the
party she watched growing up. And when she comes out
in this green velvet dress with like a glittering cape,
it's so good. So Linus is like, this isn't gonna happen,
(26:59):
so he steps in to kind of distract Sabrina and
keep her away from David until like the marriage can
go through. But then does he start having feelings for
her as well?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And does go into disarray wait, you'll have to watch
je does someone flee to Paris? And does someone flee
after her on the concord to chase her down?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
They always go to Paris?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Oh my god. It's so good. And I love a
movie where like, again the stakes are high because you're like,
but David but Linus, Oh my god, and like the
sets are beautiful, and like Harrison Ford is so good
in this movie because at first he's this grumpy, awful
older brother. Yeah, and she was like I don't really
want to spend time with Conrad, Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
under But then over time she starts to and he
(27:46):
starts to and he never thought that she.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Goes to Paris and Belly's gonna go to Paris? Yeah,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh my god. So it's the yeah and all the
sibling love triangles. It's definitely my favorite movie version of it,
Oh my god, because again the steaks are so high
of like, who is she going to choose? The romances there?
It's like, oh, the family business and again the family
business is at stake to watch this. I actually think
you'll love it. It does really hold up because it's
(28:11):
very much like a very old school kind of.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I feel like most romance movies do hold up.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, because romance is almost like a universal thing, like
times change and people change, but and.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
We love a love trying.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah. Love triangles have been around forever. Oh my god,
what as Hamilton has.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Taught us has been around for a really long time.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So yes, Sabrina again. There's two versions, So the Audrey
Hepburn one is lovely. I don't want to take away
from that, but just personally for me, the real magic
is in the Julia or Monte Harris and Ford version,
So just make sure you watch that.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Okay, I'm so excited. Also quickly before we go, honorable
mention Little Women.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Little Women again. My only thing on that is like
Joe is just never in love with Lri. It's so small.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Laurie of like thinking he has a choice, but he
really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It's more like Laurie Joe, and then he side trucks
to Amy, so it's more like a little pyramid.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
He's like, oh, Amy, you're close to Joe, so it
doesn't marry you.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I love how She's like, I will never marry someone
who's in love with my sister.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
And he's like, but you did, though, they do. They do.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's like half a triangle.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
A right angle triangle.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, oh wait, you were the math friends.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Maybe those are the right terms. I don't actually don't.
I can't picture you.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You can literally say anything at this I believe you.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Thank you so much. That's all I needed.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
And do get in touch and tell us if you've
ever been in love with your siblings husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, partner.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Or if someone's been in love with both you and
your siblings at the same time. I think that's even
more fun.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
We're not going to do anything with this information. We're
not going to do a podcast and anything. We just
want to know.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
We just want to know and then gossip about it
my friends. Yeah, it's safe with us. It's safe with us.
