What is happening? I'm Rob Lunch Quizti. We are the
Avid Indorsman.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Hello everyone, Hello, Hello, how are you buddy? I'm doing
very well.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
It's a I think, uh, maybe we say it's spring
here in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I don't know it's been you say.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
That, but then maybe in the middle of the week
we get ten inches of snow again.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, I'm prepared to be hurt. I don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
I kind of like all the weather. So but this
has been fun. The sun is shining. It's very dark
when I get up now though in the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's weird.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
That'll change sud lighter at night when we're very much wetter.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
So yeah, I don't know. Life is good. I don't
I don't have too much report for you.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Well, speaking of the weather, it was a little annoying
that it was like twenty degrees cooler today than.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It has been agreed.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, because I am freshly showered, because I just got
done doing a music video over at Adam Rupp's house,
all fun, and we decided to it was like an
outdoor thing, and had we done it yesterday or the

(01:54):
day before, we would have been in sixty degree weather.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Today today, thirty degrees this morning, and you could see
my breath throughout the whole shoot. I don't know how
that's gonna turn out.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's kind of a funny little easter egg though.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Maybe we'll see. And we did one shot. We did
Adam shot around like his fire pit.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
He uh.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
You know, just just fire pits are neat, but I
hate them so much because it just sticks in my beard. Yeah,
I will smell bonfire for the next three days. Yeah,
but I immediately came home, I took a hot shower,
I like shampooed for a long time, and I still

(02:44):
smell bonfire.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Wow, Yeah, I get that, even in my little tuft
down here.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I feel like I can I can have that, so
I get you.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
I'm kind of a bonfire curmudgeon.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Now, Oh bummer.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
I know it's a bummer.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh what we've be comera. I know because I know.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
It's not worth this stinky beard. I tell you that you're.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Like someone talking about like I just can't eat after
six pm, which I am kind of that guy now,
But you know whatever, It's fine.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Dude, in early dinner. I used to give my parents
so much flak for like eating at four point thirty,
and now you're.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Just like, I don't know, it's kind of nice.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
It feels nice, like I'm never like full when I'm
going to bed, and I just feel good. I love
an early dinner now getting old, Oh man, proud.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
We sure are. We may even we might not even
be getting there. We might.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
It's fine. I embrace it, and that's what it is.
But one thing that was fun we got to hang out.
I was gonna say, what was the last movie you watched?

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I should say that one? Were you not going to?

Speaker 5 (03:58):
I wasn't because I'm god good at steph. Why don't
you get us started?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Because I don't even remember what it was now.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
I went to the movie theater with with Bugs and
our buddy Post and Dave and I got to meet
Dave's bro and we went and saw the new Bong
June Ho film Mickey seventeen.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yes, of course I should have said this.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
You should have said that we should talk about it.
But there were there were mixed reviews between the five
of us.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
There was which was kind of fun actually.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Some loathed it, uh and some thought it was cool
like me. It stars Robert Pattinson, who's one of the
cooler actors out there right now. Everything he is doing
is so much fun. Lots of different voices he's putting on.
Really impressed with that guy.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
That voice was cracking me.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
He gets to show off a lot in this one,
playing multiple characters. Also, Mark Ruffalo was super goofy in
this one. Been enjoying what he's been doing lately as well. Yeah,
Collette was strange in this. She was obsessed with range sauce.
Steven Hun plays an interesting role. The only other actor

(05:12):
I recognized was Naomi Aki, who I most recently saw
in the Blink Twice film. I don't know if you
saw that one.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh no, I didn't see that Channing.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Tatum and it's a little scary.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Interesting.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
She's really good in that film. She was really good
in this one as well. I don't think it's Bong
Juneo's best movie, but I found it entertaining. It's a
sci fi satire that can be a little heavy handed
with some of the themes of capitalism and inequality. But
I appreciated the swing. And it's another super original film

(05:50):
from a pretty great writer director, and I appreciated it.
How did you feel about it?

Speaker 5 (05:56):
I think I'm close to you on that. I think
I love that these films are being made. I think
he's just a weirdo in the best ways. Like I
just think they're really it's always going to be something,
you know, like it's gonna be interesting. So yeah, I
enjoyed it. I can kind of see some of the
points about, like.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, where were we going?

Speaker 5 (06:18):
What was happening? Yeah, I don't know. I mostly enjoyed
the ride, though. I'm with you on that one. He
loves like post apocalyptic food scarcity stuff like that is
very much a part of his He must.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Think about it a lot or something.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
I don't know, or maybe he doesn't because he gets
to write these movies about it, but I.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Would imagine he is probably vegan too, by the way, Yeah,
like animal cruelty stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, I agree, like he don't.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
At least he's like we should be thinking about, you know,
like not factory farm or something.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, at the very least. Yeah, I hear you on that.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
But yeah, overall, I thought it was a silly, fun
movie that did some interesting stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
It wasn't like anything I've seen. Yeah, I don't know.
I liked it. I think it's cool and I like
I like the.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
That sort of sci fi fantasy setting a lot, so
like didn't have to talk me into that too much,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
And yeah, everyone was really was really pretty great at
it honestly.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
So yeah, it's not one I probably will see like
a ton of times.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Or anything like that.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
Yeah, it's certainly no parasite, right, but but what is
I mean?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
You know, like but but yeah, I'm.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Just completely different.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Yeah, it felt much more like fun than parasite or something.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
But good for him, man, he got to get this
crazy cast together and make a really weird, fun movie.
And I bet he had a great time and awesome great.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah. Yeah, so I enjoyed it quite a bit. Nice.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Have you been streaming anything fun I have.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
I went to Disney Plus and streamed Your Friendly Neighborhood
Spider Man, the animated series that is like pretty new cool.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
I haven't even heard about it.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, full disclosure.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
I went over there to watch Daredevil and then I
was like, I forgot about this series. I'm gonna check
this out and let a few episodes of Daredevil, you know,
kind of rack up so I.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Can maybe binge him a little bit more on the
weekend or something.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
This is a super interesting story. It takes place in
it's you know, it's sort of another dimension again, right,
quantum verse situation, but we get to see Peter in
high school. He's young again, and it's a different storyline,
which is kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's very comic.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Bookie in that it sort of subverts the other storyline
that is, you know, the main canon storyline or whatever
at this point. And yeah, just a bunch of cool
stuff happened in it. It's a little bit more like
I said, comic Bookie and like a little bit more
like the Spider Man cartoon back in the day. I
don't know if you were super into that back in

(09:05):
the day.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Okay, I liked it a lot, but.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
So you get to see a lot more like different
bad guys and stuff like that, a little bit you know,
teen drama in there as well. I really like it.
I think it's been really fun. I think I only
have two episodes left of the first season, and I'm
already on board with like, yeah, please keep making these,
Like what a good way to get some of the

(09:30):
ideas that maybe you wouldn't translate as well to the
you know, to live action, Like why not do them?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
You know.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
It's it's interesting as well because there's so much Spider
Man content, Like it's not as beautiful as across the
or into the Spider Verse or across the Spider Verse.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
You know, it looks like a comic book, yeah, to
picture or you know, yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
It's like it's it's almost like I don't want to
say rudimentary, because that's like rude, you know to it.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
That's not what I mean.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
But yeah, it's a little bit more simplistic, a little
more straight off the comic book page, and it's it's
fun in that medium. It's it's fun in its own right.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
So it almost looks like it could have been like
from the nineties, but you can tell that it's.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
You know, I think that's kind of what they're going
because they had that like X Men reboot as well,
exactly right, So I think they were just kind of like,
why aren't we doing this? You know, like whatever, and
it really works for me. It's cool, joy quite a lot.
But yeah, there's not like I guess I should have
looked at the castlest.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Moment I saw Coleman Domingo as Norman Osborne.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
Yeah, and he's great. I do love him, but he's
like one of the few that I really recognize.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I don't recognize any of those names at all.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Yeah, it's a bunch of you know, voice actors and
things like that for the most part. So but yeah,
really fun check it out. I think you guys would
like it cool and I think you would like it too.
Kids might even Well.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
It's like kind of PG. It is language.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
There is some you know, there's some violence because he's
like fighting people, but it's nothing too. I don't know,
so hard to say. It might be worth a shot
if you sort of vet some episodes. Yeah, yeah, there's
parts of it they would like for sure. I think nice,
But yeah, how about you?

Speaker 4 (11:15):
What even Sterhean I started up the third season of
White Lotus on Max.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh yeah, I haven't started that yet either. Nice.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, it's only four episodes in and we have some
more really dysfunctional folks on vacation love it this time
they are in Thailand. We have some new characters. Michelle Monagan,
Carrie Kohn, and Leslie Bibb are a group of friends
dealing with their own like midlife crises. We have Walton Goggins,

(11:47):
who's super moody in this seems real depressed, which is interesting.
Jason Isaacs is married married to Parker Posey and they
play a wealthy couple from the south Mouth and he
might be involved in some sort of crime or something.

(12:07):
We're still figuring that out, okay. And there's some returning
characters from last season as well. Mike White, who created
the show, is an absolute genius. Coming up with the
idea of filming at these beautiful resorts all around the
world and working with great actors is just smart, dude,

(12:28):
What a brilliant guy. I have an idea, hm, maybe
we could shoot in some of the most beautiful locations ever,
that's a way for me.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
To live in a five star hotel for the longest.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
That for like three months at a time. Where could
we do that?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Could I do? Brilliant?

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Dude, that guy has figured it out. Congratulations Mike White.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yeah, killing it. And he keeps getting like all these
doing anthology style for the most party, gets all these
crazy casts.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Yes, who also wants to.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
Take this vacation, so they're probably into it, like amazing,
that's really cool, man. Yeah, I look forward to seeing that.
I've I've liked the first two seasons. Well they're you know,
not always easy to root for everybody.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
In them, but they're usual kind of messed up. Yeah,
but they usually have one or two characters that you're like,
oh redeemable.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right right, Yeah, I love that? Nice? Nice, well, very
good Should we do if you plug arounds?

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (13:28):

real fun. And we had to get our own little

(15:12):

best in the whole wide world. I don't even have
anything pithy to say. Let's give it up for Sammy Maderante.

Speaker 7 (15:24):
Hi guys, Hi, how are you.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (15:29):
I'm doing great. I just got done with therapy.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh that's nice.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Is that a happy feeling or like a little bit
rab a little bit of both.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I love it.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, at least there's nothing going on in the world.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
So yeah, no, I had nothing to talk about really so,
but this movie felt very raw as well, so it
felt like fitting.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, nice, accurate.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
This was a movie written and directed by and like
worked on by a lot of people who have been
in therapy.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
I feel like, yeah, I feel like.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
They were working through some stuff. Perfect well. I love it.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
I hope you get some rest and relaxation time, maybe
time to read a book per chance tonight?

Speaker 7 (16:17):
Absolutely? You know it?

Speaker 6 (16:18):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (16:19):
How fun you guys? Can follow Sammy at the reading
Jones on Instagram.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh that was seamless, guys, Oh that was goodeamless.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
You would tell I was directing us there. You're doing
just all kinds of like book reviews and stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Right, Yeah, I've been I've been watching outside of the
book content world for so long, and I just figured
why not. The world's on fire, might as well post
about some nice books.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
You're reading them anyway, right?

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
We were just chatting about books before we got on here.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Just a way. It was so fun. It was fun.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Ah, well that's great. Go check that out. And uh,
I don't know what do you guys? Thinks shoill we
just get right into it?

Speaker 7 (17:05):
Yes, do it all right?

Speaker 5 (17:07):
Fantastic robb Well you get to start it with a
rough SYNOPSI sure.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
A Nora, a young woman from Brooklyn, gets her chance
at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the
son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her
fairy tale is threatened as the parents set out for
New York to get the marriage annulled.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Such a happy, happy reading.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Good work.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
I like that thing. But also there's a like a
rom com version of this movie that exists.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Oh for sure much, Yeah, you can do it, Yeah totally.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Oh but he doesn't love me.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
Let's go to Rotten Tomatoes now and hear what they
have to say. Critics have this coming in at a
rock solid ninety three, very fresh.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
So fresh and so clean, makes sense.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
It won a lot of awards, so I guess that
that tracks, and audience members have it a tick below that,
but still very high at eighty six percent, so doing
very well for itself. I would agree, Yeah, but I
think it's time to hear what we think.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Should we go into our hot take?

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Hot take?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
That's a hot take.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
That's a hot take, hot borshed.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's not particularly hot, but it is a soup.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
You got me, that's the word.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
It is delicious though. I have had it in Russia
and I liked it a lot.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
So there's there's that. Let's go into my hot take.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
I can't go first. I really enjoyed this movie a lot.
I saw this movie kind of early actually, as far
as like an Oscar movie goes, I think we saw
it in late summer or early fall when it first
came out. I remember really really enjoying it and I
enjoyed it again on the rewatch here, so it was
kind of the rewatch was fun. It felt fresh and

(19:07):
new again. I think it is. It's a lot of things.
There's a lot of things happening in this movie. It
is like scary at points for the actors themselves, for
the characters. It's also really funny at points. It's super raw,
like you said, Sammy, very emotional on a ton of fronts.

(19:28):
We get into sort of the sex worker community, we
get into all the arks and you know, the grossness
that is money, and how friends and you know, comrades
can be oh, comrades, I didn't even mean to do that,
but how people can be disposable within our lives for
a number of different reasons, and just all the things right, interactions.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Between people and all these things.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
And I think it does, honestly all of these things
remarkably well. It's they have some really cool shots in it,
just from like a straight up technical perspective. There's one
where like there's chin or something and there's like a
sun sunbeam, sunburst whatever that thing is that like clazes
over the whole scene and I'm just like, man, that

(20:10):
is smooching someone that you're in love with, like put
into a you know, like a movie frame. It's perfect
because it's just like nothing else matters in this moment.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
It is great, excuse me. And then we get like you.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
Know, through the windshield of the car and like the
lookout onto the beautiful vistas and all these things.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
It's really cool.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
My favorite part about the Rewatch though, was the the
small ways in which in this mostly I would say
bleak landscape, people show love to one another, whether it's
like the friends who is like the fellow exotic dancer
or I love the respect that Igor is able to
give to Honora and show her love and you know,

(20:54):
just like human decency while also like still playing his
role right because he's not perfect by any means. He's
helping you know, these people that are you know, holding
her against her will and all these things. But the respect,
then the small ways that he can show her love,
I think is is pretty great. And it's like my
favorite part of this movie, to be honest, Yeah and yeah,

(21:18):
I don't I guess I don't really have like a hot,
hot take from this movie. I think it is very
well done. I was a little bit surprised at one
best Picture, but not unpleasantly. I was like, oh cool,
good for them, especially once I learned about it being
kind of an indie film and not like a huge
budget and all these things. I think that's pretty amazing.
So I really enjoyed this film. I think it's worthwhile

(21:41):
for people to go watch, and it's not as hard
as a lot of like Best Picture winners to watch.
I think it's pretty inviting. So yeah, I just really
liked it. I guess that's my hot take.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Hot take.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Thanks.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
That was some borsa right there forged. I thought this
movie was awesome. I was really into it. It was
nominated for six Academy Awards. It won five of them
for Editing, Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Director, and of
course Best Picture. It was written and directed by Sean Baker,

(22:18):
who's made some highly regarded films such as Tangerine, The
Florida Project, and Red Rocket. I've only seen the Florida Project.
In Red Rocket, I realized.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
I haven't seen any of them. That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Well, when I was going through the eight twenty four films,
which I still am, that makes sense. Florida Project in
Red Rocket are are both a twenty four. I think
Tangerine is too.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Maybe I don't think you're ready.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
I think you're I know those two are because I
watched last year. But in all three of those films,
Florida Project Red Rocket in this one focuses on someone
who is poor in the sex worker industry, and they're
like trying to dig themselves out of a hole, kind
of which I think is an interesting theme he keeps

(23:04):
going for. I thought Honora was the most fun out
of the other Seaan Baker films I've seen. The others
were like way more depressing and not anywhere near as funny,
but this one, man, I thought the cast was amazing,
especially Mike Madison. I thought her Academy Award was well deserved.

(23:25):
I felt bad for me Moore because I kind of
thought she was going to get like the Legacy Award.
But I mean, Mikey Madison had to do so much more.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, you know, agreed.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
She carried the whole film, and Demi Moore was like
in half of the other films, it's It's It's tough.
So much of the movie took place on that one
long last day, and it kind of felt like a
Safti Brothers movie a little bit to that, but maybe
a little funnier than that.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
More easing music as well, for sure.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah you hated that, hated like that and cut you out,
cut you out. My hottest take, very similar to yours.
I'm glad this film won Best Picture. I would have
also accepted Dune Part two, but I was glad it
wasn't The Brutalist because honestly, I thought that was going

(24:26):
to end up winning, just because it seemed like an
Oscar winning the Best Picture.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
You know.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
And yeah, glad it didn't go to one that didn't really,
you know, feel like a stuffy historical drama. And yeah,
same take, same take as yours.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Hat hot take. All right, Sammy, what do you think?

Speaker 7 (24:49):
I feel like.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
I need to preface this by saying, like, I really,
I really do love this movie. I think this is
a really I love Sean Baker. Florida Project is one
of my favorite films.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
Wow, nice it like I love depressing, So it's right
up my alley.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
But I this is going to a lot of the
stuff I'm going to say is going to sound like
I didn't enjoy this movie. But I was just picking
out my hot takes, and I do really feel like
this movie is a perfect example, and I'm happy at
one best picture. I wasn't expecting it to but I'm

(25:31):
happy it did because I love indie film and this
is a perfect example of an indie filmy. Just like
it's all about character, and Mikey Madison absolutely absolutely deserved
the oscar. I think she just I don't. I don't
even know where he found her, but she completely carried

(25:55):
the movie. I as like someone who who is extremely
interested in film, and like if I was in film school,
I would be like so interested to see this script
directed by a woman, just to see the difference. I
find that in film when there is nudity, like in

(26:17):
a strip club, I get so uncomfortable. And I don't
know if I need to talk to my therapist about
it or if it's like because I can tell if
it's like a movie done with the male gaze or
the female gaze. So I think it's not necessarily a critique,
but something I need to like sit with and figure out.
But I found myself, like in all the strip club scenes,

(26:38):
like a little bit uncomfortable, and maybe you're supposed to be,
because I did notice and I wrote it down that
we don't see her physical nudity after we start seeing
her emotional nudity.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Sure, so maybe that's the point that, like she is
viewed even though we see her humanity in this movie,
she is viewed through this male gaze, even by Vanya,
who she opens herself up to. The only person who
we don't who doesn't view her that way is Igor,

(27:13):
and he never sees her nude. So you know, I
wonder if that's part of it and is supposed to
be that way. But I just wonder, like, oh, I
wonder what this would have been like with a female director.

Speaker 7 (27:28):
So yeah, that is a thought I had. And also.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
It's not a movie I like want to watch again,
you know, like I'm happy. I actually I am so
happy that I did watch it again for this because
I did see things in new lights and like kind
of connect things that I didn't connect last time, like
the nudity thing. But yeah, it's not something that I'm like, oh,
let me go sit down and watching Nora, Like I'm

(27:54):
glad it was made. I'm glad it's getting its flowers,
but like it's not like the most enjoyable movie. But again,
so well written and so well acted, and one thing
like her journey in this is so heartbreaking and it's
the heart of the movie. And I just thought she

(28:17):
was I thought she was written really well, and her
feistiness and all all of her like walls that she's
trying to keep up the whole time. It's just really
really brilliantly done.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
And just one.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Gripe I have with the whole movie is the dad.
I mean, it's he's supposed to be despicable, but the
dad at the end when she's like telling them off
and he's just laughing after the rage, I felt I
was so mad I wanted to punch him through my screen.
And he's supposed to be that way obviously, but I
was just like, I think, I think it's a testament

(28:54):
to how well done it is, because by the end,
I'm like, I'm ready to fight for her, you know.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
So yeah, I know I said some things that made
it seem like maybe, yeah, I didn't.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Love it, but I did.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Yeah. It just made me think I love movies and
make me think like that.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah, I totally agree.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
Because one thing I thought about two was like part
of one tiny part I don't believe is I don't
think a person who works around men, especially in that
like where sex is and her body is like a commodity,
you know what I mean to them, and she obviously
uses it for power. I don't mean that in a
negative way, but like that's how she goes through life.

(29:36):
I don't think she would allow herself to like fall
head over heels for this guy. I feel like her
defenses would be up more right away, but maybe not.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Maybe that's a nitpick.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
I don't know, but I do what are you having
watched it back again that I think her defenses are
up all the way until the chapel, Like that's the
first time that I see because even when she's like
when they're lying in the bed and he asked her
to get married, like her first thing is like ring, yeah,

(30:08):
she's it's still transactional for her. I think the chapel
was the first time I see her like get excited
about this guy because she's like, all right, if you're like,
if you're down to get married, like I trust you.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Yeah, yeah, that is cool. And I definitely agree with
the like your take on like exposing yourself, whether it
be physically or emotionally, because I I for sure felt
like that last scene was her, you know, going into
the old mode of transactional because he was kind to me,

(30:39):
we're going to do this thing, and then being able
to step away from that maybe or at least the
hope of being able to step away from that, and
then just kind of breaking down for the only time
in the whole film, despite all this crazy stuff, I
loved that a lot.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
So that last scene is so powerful, and it's one
of It's one of those scenes where you're like, what.

Speaker 7 (30:59):
Exactly happened there?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Like you have to think about it, and I I
mean I definitely the first time was like.

Speaker 7 (31:08):
Why did that happen? And I had to examine it.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
But the one thing that I'm like, I don't love
is that he let that happen.

Speaker 7 (31:21):
I feel like he should have been like.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
No, you know, so I don't like love his choice
in that moment to like let it go through. But
at the same time, like for the story it needed to.
She needed to have that moment where because he grabs
her face and she I think that's when she like
clicks into real life and is like, oh my god,
I can't I can't wol myself away from everything that
just happened to me.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, but yeah, yeah, I get that for sure. Nice.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Well hot take hot take hot so hot?

Speaker 5 (31:56):
Should we go in and talk about our favorite acting
performance show we name the.

Speaker 8 (32:01):
I'm the dude, so that's what you call me, you
know that? Or his dude or duder or you know,
el dudo reno. If you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Maybe not the most difficult one we've.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Ever done, Sammy, definitely not. What do you got for
your dude?

Speaker 7 (32:19):
Uh, Mikey Madison Oscar Winner seems fair.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
I think this movie, if Honora was not played by
someone who's so intimately understood the assignment, it would have
fallen flat. I mean, it's she, she, it's she is

(32:44):
the movie. Ye, she's in maybe every frame, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
I mean, damn clause if not.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
And I mean we just get to see her, like
I said.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
She she She is fighting the whole time to keep
her armor up, to stay in control. And it's really
interesting to watch and it's I think, really important to

(33:17):
see this perspective from uh, like a sex worker and
see her humanity. And I just thought I just thought
she was brilliant and like masterful, like a pro. Like
it seemed like she had been doing this for decades,

(33:43):
so yeah, and even watching it the second time, I
was like.

Speaker 7 (33:46):
More blown away by her acting. So yeah, I got
to give it to her.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Absolutely. It's so interesting to see her in interviews Mikey
Madison because she seems so soft spoken and she just
played this big personality with a very thick New York accent.
She just had to do so much in this and
I feel like she's going to be able to do
whatever she wants after this.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Film, I hope.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
So given her acceptance speech, I was like, oh, go
right acting sure, Yeah, you know, like it's like, damn, well,
this is great.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
I love that. Ah yeah, I mean.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
She's who I picked as well. It's a clean sweep.
She's wonderful on this. I think she goes through all
the different emotions. She's strong, she's vulnerable, she's.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
All the things. So yeah, I definitely agree. I don't
feel like I have anything special to add other than that.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
So she was really good.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
She was good.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Let's talk about some of these other good people here.
Let's go on to the Tucci the Tucci Award.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Who else you want to talk about? Sammy, I'm his name.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
Is euro Boris.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
I I really enjoy watching his journey. He you know,
starts as this like apathetic, like I'm just here to
do a job, man, and then he is taken off
guard by her, caught off guard by her and has
to spring into action and uh is probably a.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
Little bit frustrated, but also like who is this woman?
Like who is?

Speaker 3 (35:31):
And then we get to see him see her humanity
and soften around her, and that's really nice to watch.
And yeah, he's just like the like I feel like
he serves as the example of what she can hope

(35:54):
for in UH, Like it doesn't who cares if they
end up together, but he serves as the shining height
of like, don't settle for someone like Vanya, Like he's
a slob, like he's a mess, Like treat you can
be treated well, you can be seen for who you are.
And it was it was a quiet performance, but those

(36:15):
are always really interesting to me, Like he was able
to do a lot without saying a lot, and that's
really that's really impressive to me.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
Yeah, I loved when she like clocks him in that
that like the beginning of that first scene where they
come in the house and he just goes impressive whatever.
I was like, Oh, cool, I like this guy.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
He was my favorite guy.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
He was wonderful.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
I loved him, and I really loved when he's like, hey,
you know, I think maybe Yvonne should apologize to her,
you know, like, yeah, just a decent guy, you know. Yeah,
so I definitely picked him as well. I also thought, uh, Vanya,
who was played by Mark Edelstein.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, he was good.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
He was a character that must have been so much fun,
just like wanting to party, be unhinged, right, I.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Like, I I think it takes a certain amount of
either skill or like uh just beginner's luck to be
that free.

Speaker 7 (37:22):
And loose on camera, because.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
You could so easily, like it is the line between
trying hard to be loose and being loose is that's
that's a hard line to juggle. And he was like
he seemed like there was no script, Like he was
just like like they were like just be you like
that's how real it was.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
So that was Yeah, that was really impressive too.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
I've always heard that being drunk or under the influence
is so hard to not come off looking silly.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yep, to like not go too far exactly.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
It's it's something that you don't really have awareness of
when you're in that state.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
So sure.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
I thought he did that really well.

Speaker 7 (38:09):
So well, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
He was really fun.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
I liked him.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
It's a good pick. Who was I gonna? Oh, what
was his name? I didn't write down because I'm a dummy.
The priest guy. What's his name?

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Toros was his characters Sorry, it looks like.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Karen carug Ye.

Speaker 7 (38:31):
It was pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
I really liked him.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
He was fun and that like the whole the church
thing and him holding the baby, backing me up, like.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
When he looks down and he actually out no, no.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Really great, really really great.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
And I just thought he was so great because he
like you, really felt for him. He felt like someone
whose boss is just a tyrant, and he was just like,
I'm sorry, but also so we gotta get this thick
carriage because.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
I'm going to get screamed at if we don't, you know.

Speaker 9 (39:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
I just thought that was really great and I thought
he did a really wonderful job. And I think he
was the one. I think it's in trivia later. He's
been in all of Sean Baker's films, but this was.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
His biggest part. And I think he was really good.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
Like I was could totally see him being and other
stuff later and why not, you know, but it seems
like he can do it.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
So I liked him a lot.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
And his buddy to his brother Garnick.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yes, I did like him a lot.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Yeah, he was really funny. He gets rocked in the face,
breaks his nose, gets concussion, throws up in the car,
gets kind of wasted, makes a fool of himself in
front of the wealthy family.

Speaker 7 (39:51):
Yeah, so great.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
I'm just trying to make a toast.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
Thanks for letting me be here or whatever.

Speaker 7 (39:57):
They're like in the middle of such a serious covers right.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
So good, he had a rough night. There's some great trivia.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
About him that I'll say for later because I don't
have a ton but I really like the I like
I have that one, so remind me if I forget
to say, yeah, I love that pick.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Those are really the main characters that I put down.
Did anybody else put anybody else tow they thought they
needed their flowers?

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Her best friend who I also a missing her name here, Yeah,
she was fun, Miranda as Lulu. I just liked her.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
I thought they were very believable as friends, Like you know,
she just kept calling her bro all the time.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
And they were just they were just pals and like
talking about.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
The other ladies, and you know, he just felt very
realistic to me, which was fun.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I liked that a lot.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
Oh yeah, And she talked about the one guy who
said that he reminded her of his eighteen year old
daughter and then bought five lap dances and.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Was still paid for the dances.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
I have that there is something about that too, because
I know Seawan Baker and Mikey Madison like really got
ingrained with the sex worker community for this and maybe
other Shawn Baker films. But that sounds like something that
was pulled direct.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I think that's a great call.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
Like that was a conversation she'd had previously, and she's
like this should be in there, something.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Like yeah, literally, yeah, dude's a gross Yep.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
They're just the worst, the worst. It's true.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Well, let's let's go switch up. Let's pick our favorite scene.
Let's choose the dingus is quite simple, really, dingus dingus.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
I could talk about my dingas all night long.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
For your favorite scene, I put the Vegas montage, like
once they're getting married and with the music over it, and.

Speaker 7 (42:07):
Then after running through and being like I got married,
we're married.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
And I just I love the dreaminess of that. I
love how it was shot a lot of handheld, a
lot of like from below them, so it looks like
they're the only people in the world. Yeah, it was
gorgeous and fantastical.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
That can just be in the rom com one like
we don't changes right, that can be around it.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The only thing that took me out
of that scene was when Vanya Vanya pulled a borat
and were just like, it's my wife, everybody.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
I missed that my wife, so he.

Speaker 7 (42:51):
Yeah, that is it sounded exactly.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, that's pretty great. I did love that scene.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
It seemed like it was shot in a like fuzzier
warmer fashion somehow.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
I don't know enough technically to know maybe.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
A different film stock, like yeah, maybe Uji.

Speaker 7 (43:12):
Film versus Kodak or something, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, okay that kind of sure. Yeah. I don't know
enough about that stuff to say, but that's how mean. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
I wrote on a couple scenes, but I really loved
how chaotic. The courtroom scene was, Oh so fun. It
was pretty fun. They get there, Vanya is super drunk,
and Nora's swearing at the judge Toros keeps yelling objection

(43:45):
in the background, objection, and then the lawyer finds out
that they were married in Vegas, and like this, we
don't even do any of this here. I don't have
any of the information that I need for this.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
I think it's that's a fun that's a fun scene
because the rest of the movie is pretty much like
set in places where it's the same societal rules.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Sure, yeah for.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Everybody, but this is an area where there's like supposed
to be so much decorum and they have no decorum.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
You really see how they all stand out in this.

Speaker 7 (44:21):
Yeah, setting, it's fun, it's fun.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
I really love that scene.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Yeah, it was so funny. That's a good one.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
Or even like going into like up the stairs when
he's like he doesn't need to come, No, he does,
and he's like, I'm just holding which met him.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
I'm just holding him about basically right right. I don't
know what that means.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
I don't know, And Vanni just straight up says, I'm intoxicated.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
I'm intoxicated. Yeah, that's really good. That was fun.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
So the one that I picked is long, it's like
twenty minutes of the film, but it is the entirety
from the beginning of the like when they enter the
house to find what's happened after they're married, they like
hold her hostage that I'm gonna I'm being like a
little sneaky here, and including the baptism as part of that,

(45:14):
and like him driving there because that's all kind of
when that's happening, and like they are just fighting their
asses off. Everything keeps escalating, like it's it's so funny.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
That's also really chaotic too.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
It's so chaotic, and I in the theater, I was
like crying laughing. I was nearly crying laughing again watching it,
even though I've seen it, I thought was just so
so great.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
That of her mouth screaming, right, They're just like, oh no.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Don't say that. And then he was like, please stop screaming,
just screaming back her.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
All of it's amazing. You can tell that. I have
trivia about this later. But they filmed that stuff for
a long time, the like fighting, and I feel like
you can tell in some shots because her legs are
so much and she's like very pale, right, so it's
gonna show, but her legs are so bruised, and I
was just like, oh damn, that's crazy. Uh yeah, I

(46:16):
just thought was so funny, like kicking the other guy
in the nose, and then you know.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Breaking the table and just like her biting.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
Everything about it is so so so funny and and
like this isn't a scene I should be laughing at
They're holding this woman against her will, and it was
hysterical to me. I don't know, like it's so great.
I love that scene so much. That's a long one,
but it's really good.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
And then I wrote down the marriage scene and then
there are they at Coney Island?

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Is that where they are?

Speaker 5 (46:54):
I couldn't tell. That kind of looks like the Jersey
Shore though as well.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Right, I mean it's all to someone who doesn't know.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
Probably they said that that restaurant is a considered Brighton.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Beach, right, oh yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Yeah, but I think that's just directly next to Coney Island, right,
it's Coney Island.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Brighton Beach.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, yeah, they're they're close. I think she's from Coney
Island and maybe most of the beach scene.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
Somewhere in that area. But I just liked the the
first time we see them like at the candy shop
and then they're on the beach itself, and it's just
they're kind of happy, they're having a nice time. I
like that thought that was a cool setting.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
Yeah. The other one I wrote on is when she
tells off the family after they get their marriage and oh,
that is a good one. It's awesome. And that's the
one that kind of I feel like that audio went
viral on the TikTok hearing that one, which part when
she says, because your son's.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, thats that.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
That one blew up all over the place.

Speaker 7 (48:10):
Didn't I didn't that one didn't come across my desk.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
Yeah, you didn't hit the algorithm, right, I guess.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
You watch it once and then you see it a
million times. Tis Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:23):
I also can't emphasize how little I wanted to be
at those parties they were at and those clubs, Like
I was just like, I am washed, not interested even
a little kind of like they were having a nice
time for most of.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
It, and that was just like, no, that sounds terrible.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Yeah, well, I was thinking about her friend who she
stayed at this party, So then I was like, so
her friend's just alone.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
I thought the same thing, like did she stay? What's
it like? Maybe a threesome so you know she's safe.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
Well when she was like, well, I don't know if
I can, and then she's like, you know, it's a
holiday rate. So it's like, oh, I thought she was
going to like stick up for her friend.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
There, Yeah, totably didn't. He was not.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
She was not.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Frank could take care of herself. Yeah, tough.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
Yeah, she probably knew what was up. Yeah, that was
the possibility of her stream.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Nice. Any other scenes, we feel like we have to
bring it up. I feel like my other ones will
come up maybe during the quotes.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
I mean I will say I do think and I
sort of mentioned this, but that last scene is really powerful.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Yeah, oh yeah, I could call yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
And I think the first time I watched it, I
was like, wait, I think I need more information. But like,
I'm glad he left it like that because it's it's
nice to interpret things and not be spoon fed.

Speaker 7 (49:58):
And I think.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
The like uncertainty of that is kind of part of
the message in like, yeah, you don't have control, like
you got to let go of having control and just
like feel some things.

Speaker 7 (50:15):
So I thought that that was a beautiful scene.

Speaker 5 (50:18):
Yeah, I did like And I like what you said
too about like, uh oh, it just left me. I
liked what you said, but I don't remember. It's gotten forever.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
It's it left. The one thing I didn't love about
that scene and it was really dumb, but I just
felt like the snow looked really fake. I thought the same,
it was taking me out of it. It was like I
could see it like kind of holding up on the window.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
It was falling at exactly the same rate of speed.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
It looked it looked fakey. It did look faky, and
I hate that when it takes me. It was a
powerful scene.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
That's that.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
From that, I remember what I was gonna say. I
liked what you said about it doesn't matter if she
ends up with him. It matters that she knows she
deserves someone who treats her better, right, because it's not
like a you know, I did feel at points like, man,
the bar is so low for dudes.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Like just to be a complete dickhead.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
But I do think like allowing yourself to be loved
or be in a spot where you could be loved
by someone like that, I think is at least.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Part of the message.

Speaker 5 (51:28):
And I did really like that too some with you,
and I liked when they were just like smoking the
weed in the apartment or in the in the house
after they come back and all it was sort of
the like aftermath.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Right, she so abrasive and he's just like, it was
my birthday yesterday.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
You know that's a stupid name.

Speaker 7 (51:54):
Oh my god, I love that.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yeah, really really good. I liked that a lot. Why
should we go on and talk about our favorite quotes?
Shall we show me the money?

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Show me the money?

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Show quotes I only wrote down too, and they're pretty random,
but uh, I love it's in the very beginning. It's
it's right before she talks about her friend, talks about
the guy.

Speaker 7 (52:29):
Being like, you look just like my daughter.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
But they're like debriefing, having a cigarette outside the club,
and uh, the friend like looks at Nora's nails and
there's a butter like there's butterfly art on them.

Speaker 7 (52:44):
Is that a butterfly? Yeah, it's a butterfly.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
You're so classy, I know. And then she goes, I
got dala signs like a real hoe and she goes
like a and then Nonora says, no, but you're manifesting that.

Speaker 6 (52:59):
Yes, I And I'm like, that is such a girl,
Like that is so girls talking about and like gassing
each other up, and oh my.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
God, that is a real I got dollar signs, like
a real hope.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
It's so class class I.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
I love that, like I buy this friendship.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
And then towards the end when they're in front of
the courthouse and I'm assuming it's the lawyer and he's like,
oh my god, I have to.

Speaker 7 (53:37):
Deal with this mess.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
And then he looks at her and and this is the.

Speaker 10 (53:42):
The lucky lady, and it's it's just such a funny
delivery because it's like nothing about this look is lucky,
Like it's just a complete disaster.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
And I feel like she really tapped into her Marissa to.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
There are points for sure.

Speaker 9 (54:02):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, I just I love both of
those moments that are just show different sides of an
aura that we don't get to see the.

Speaker 7 (54:14):
Rest of it. And I love those little those little moments.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
Yeah, those are great.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
That's great.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
The please stop screaming from megor screaming in her face.
So the funniest.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Part is the situation.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
It was so good when Toros comes in and he's
like looking around and seeing that everything's disheveled in the house,
just like she's just a little girl. And he was like,
she's not fighting like one. The other guy's like she's
an animal, bro. It's just great. Early on at the club,

(54:55):
when they're like in the dressing room area, they're talking
about the DJ and the one the one lady said
he's forty, he's literally geriatric.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
I'm like, oh, feelings for sure. I didn't love that,
but also, so what a twenty something year al say?

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Totally?

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Yeah, especially twenty something who has to like dance for
these men every yes.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
These gross dudes all the day. Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (55:29):
When he has asked her to marry him, it's like,
so you want to get married to me, Vanya, you
want me to be a little wifey And he's says,
I'm serious, And I said it twicely.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Twice. Really good.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
And I loved how she can like understand the Russian.
She's hearing Torros on the phone talk about her, Yeah,
and at one point calls her a shlew tweet. We
found out that that means horror.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
I think is what that one was.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
And so then Honora's screams, your mother is a That
one made me laugh.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
I'm glad you mentioned that because I wanted to write
that down and I was like, I don't know how
to say shluh, and then I and then was gone.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Yeah, totally totally, but.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
I loved that.

Speaker 7 (56:28):
Funny.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Oh really funny. I love that.

Speaker 5 (56:34):
Also, it's early on when she's dancing with that first
dude and he's like.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
So does your does your family know that you.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
Do this or whatever?

Speaker 5 (56:42):
It's like stop it first of all, and then she's like,
does your family know you're here?

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Stupid?

Speaker 7 (56:52):
Just gross dude, he's judging her. Meanwhile he's there her man, Yeah,
just the worst guy.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
And then when Vanya is like he keeps playing video
games like right after they have sex, which is so
funny anyway, but she's like, you know, you paid for
an hour, there's still like forty five minutes left if
you want to go again.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
He's like okay, just like so in I thought that
was a funny moment like that. Also, when the one.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
He's tied her up with the phone card and then
the guy comes and he's like, I'm tire and he's like,
she will run, bro, I promise. It's like, where will
she run? And she immediately runs. I just thought that
was so funny. And he's just like, I told you, man, I.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Don't know what you want from me. Oh what else
did I have?

Speaker 5 (57:46):
I thought this maybe this could even been a scene.
But when she's telling him he's a pathetic mother, and
then his mom is there and she's like pathetic see
see like and she's on her side for the first
and only time, you know. But I was just like, damn,
this family is messed.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Up, okay?

Speaker 5 (58:08):
And then oh, and I loved when she was just like, yeah,
it's real, but it isn't mink. It's Russian sable because
what she says Russian sable, which is worth a lot
more than fucking mink or whatever she says that.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
I thought that was just really fun. She's just so sassy.
It was so unobstandably but.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
So fu Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:30):
Yeah, I think those were all the ones I had written.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Don't though, you guys are.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
The only other one I had.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (58:36):
Oh, I guess I had two is just uh. He
asked if he has Instagram and tourists like, I don't
have Instagram. I'm an adult. Yeah, it's really funny. Yeah,
he was a real boomer. He didn't like the millennials
or the gen zs.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Me baby, Yeah, yeah, it was really funny.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
I also just loved in that one scene where Igor
and Honora are back at the house and he's like,
touche was cracking me up. Was good. Yeah, maybe maybe
you get English down before you try French or whatever.
That's pretty good. He's like, yeah, well let's go to

(59:20):
bukes boohoo moments. The crying game, I this is a
hard one for me. I feel like you could have
cried in some spots where I wouldn't, but so I
I only picked the one that I thought that you

(59:41):
for sure did, and just the very end scene in
the car when she's sobbing afterwards.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Yeah, it was just.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
So funny throughout it and like chaotic that like it had.
I had a hard time finding like parts where you
would actually like break down. So I feel like there
could have been stuff on the plane possibly or like
after they get annulled, but I just don't know for sure.
Like Sammy, do you think there were any other bohoos
that I'm missing?

Speaker 7 (01:00:11):
I'm wondering if when yeah, when uh.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Right before she gets back on or onto the private jet,
when he's like, of course.

Speaker 7 (01:00:25):
Not what are you stupid?

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Like he's she's like, so you don't you you want
to get divorced.

Speaker 7 (01:00:31):
We're going to get divorced. And he's like, of course,
are you stupid?

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
And she's just like, Okay, this person doesn't see me
as a human being. And then she that's when she
gets a little bit emotional. So maybe there.

Speaker 5 (01:00:43):
Yeah, yep, that one totally got me, just like that
like dropping of the ball finally.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Of like, oh he is just a dickhead.

Speaker 5 (01:00:52):
Yeah, you know, she's probably thinking like I shouldn't have
let down my guard or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Right, Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. That's a good one
that got me for Shua. One more.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
I don't know if this is tied on to any
of the other ones, but when they leave the lawyers
or wherever they have to go in Vegas to annull it,
and she gets in the car and it's a close
up shot and you could tell that she's trying not
to cry.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Oh yeah, no, that one didn't get me.

Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
I did like that shot a lot, though, Yeah, I
did like that. The only other one is one we
mentioned earlier, but it's the moment where Igor says, I
think it's appropriate.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
That Ivonne apologizes because I was just.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
Like, damn man, like that's again right, like he's not
some knight in shining armor, but also like he doesn't
have to do.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
That, And I thought that was like a beautiful way again,
right of just seeing her as a human being and
understanding the situation.

Speaker 5 (01:01:51):
Yeah, and exercising some power in a moment where he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Have a lot I thought was cool.

Speaker 5 (01:01:58):
So I like that, yeah, yeah, but just three I
was kind of surprised, honestly.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
Yeah, in a Best Picture winner.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Yeah, like you said, it was really funny. It was
like they have moments of levity.

Speaker 5 (01:02:10):
So yeah, Well, let's go into some movie trivia here.
According to Sean Baker, one scene where the characters walk
into that Tatiana grill in Brighton Beach and they interact
with the dinner party that was completely improvised and shot
in a gorilla fashion.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Apparently they did this in a couple spots, I guess, but.

Speaker 7 (01:02:32):
Like really interrupted a party.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yeah, I guess that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
Baker and then the cinematographer Drew Daniels crashed a dinner
party to film scenes of Taurus, asking all the guests
where Yvonne was, and they did it with a thirty
five millimeter camera that he.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Just had ready to go and that's amazing and shot
the scene the entire time. So I thought that was
kind of cool and fun film.

Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
Yeah, yeah, super neat, right, like cool. I like that
vibe and it came acrossaotic that way too.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
I felt like yeah, which so it worked.

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
Uh, And then he had a Q and A Sean
Baker did with an Australian audience, and they said that
Lindsay Normington, who plays Honora's rival Diamond, who was actually
pretty great as well. She was, you know, haterable and whatever.
She has a background in the exotic dance world and
provided a ton of consultation during the filming of the

(01:03:26):
movie as well, just thought how to make things genuine.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
And stuff like that. So I thought that was really neat.

Speaker 5 (01:03:32):
And then we got apparently Sean Baker had seen Mikey
Madison in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and that's
where he sort of fell.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
In love with her.

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
So many people were like, up and common.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Remember what part she played in that If I'm honest,
girls or something, that's what I thought. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
Yeah, in the like she's in that like last scene
at Brad Pitt's house. She's one of those people. Okay,
And remember and Butler was one of the guys in that. Wow,
Sydney Sweeney was also on like that ranch Margaret her
with the feet, with her creepy bastard maya hawk. Yes,

(01:04:19):
it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
It was nuts anyway, anyone anyone in Hollywood at that time.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
Seriously, it was just nuts, all these incomers.

Speaker 5 (01:04:30):
So he had seen her in that and loved her scenes,
and then saw her and Scream, which she was really
good in Scream.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
Scream, Yeah, I gotta watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
It's really good. It's really good. I heard it was
good at some point. Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:04:45):
And he had saw that with his wife and longtime producer,
Samantha Kwan, and as they were walking out, they were
just like, she's got to play this part, or we
have to work with her or something.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
So I just thought that was I.

Speaker 7 (01:04:56):
Really want to watch Scream to see it's really good.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
The new Yeah, it's fun.

Speaker 5 (01:05:03):
Oh, this is what I was saying of the thirty
seven days of shooting for this whole movie. Ten of
them were the home invasion scene.

Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
So like it's like a half hour of the movie.

Speaker 5 (01:05:13):
It's so much of the movie, and there's like all
those moving parts you know of like them fighting and all.

Speaker 7 (01:05:19):
That and not having pants for ten days of work.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
It's the dream.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
Honestly, it's the dream. I work from home. So that's
pretty much just how it is. No, Yeah, you're right though,
like that's pretty wild wild. Mikey Madison did extensive research
about sex work for this movie. Additionally, she took dance lessons,
including pole dancing that she described as being extremely physically strenuous,

(01:05:47):
which I can see it seems hard.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
That's something I meant to shout out is her pole
dancing segment during that guy's like birthday.

Speaker 7 (01:05:58):
I was like, I want more of that. I want
to see you do that group.

Speaker 4 (01:06:02):
I mean, they really didn't show much of that for
how much work she probably gut into the for real,
Like I would be bummed out if I saw that
at it. Yeah, thet there booked.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
My ass for like a year, two three.

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
For sure. She also learned Russian for the role and
insisted on doing most of her own stunts when she
was doing like the fights in the living room and
then the fight in the in the club, So.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
I just thought that was crazy. So she was in.
She was in. That's which is cool for her.

Speaker 5 (01:06:39):
Ura Borisov asked Mikey Madison to actually hit him in
the fights that they had both in the living room
and the end of the film in the car, so
she was really, you know, wailing on him, which came
across as reel Let's see. At the Cannes Film Festival
press conference, Mikey Madison said that director Sean Baker would

(01:07:00):
out the different sex positions and thank god I read
this because I was concerned about this with his wife,
producer Samantha Kwan while they were both clothed to demonstrate.
And it makes me feel better that she was there,
that like a lady was there. I don't that obviously
doesn't mean it's going to be safer necessarily, but it

(01:07:20):
feels like it has a better chance.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Of being safe.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
Yeah, I remember, I remember those things were kind of
blowing up at the time and everybody was freaking out
that they didn't have an intimacy coordinator.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Sure, even though she was right, yeah, interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
She was saying how she felt okay with it. She
felt extremely comfortable with it, and everybody else was like, well, no,
are you just saying that, because because.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
Sometimes you don't realize till later either, right that Like, oh,
actually that was.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
You know, it's a I can understand why people were
a little bit upset because on the one hand, it's like,
it's good to know for sure that she felt comfortable,
but it's also a really tricky precedent to set that
could take advantage of. Right, Oh, but could you would
tell me if you really wanted an intimacy coordinator? Right? Like,

(01:08:13):
that could get so like I think it should just
be a rule to always have it.

Speaker 7 (01:08:18):
Yeah, yeah, And so that's.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Where people are like, but glad that she so glad
that she felt like free and safe.

Speaker 5 (01:08:26):
But yeah, the whole time obviously like I'm not an actor,
but I was just like, I don't know that I
could do not only could I not do this as
well as she did it. I don't know that I'm
pretty free with my body, but I don't know that
I could do it in a non comedic way and
like be that exposed. That'd be tricky. I mean, yeah,

(01:08:47):
that's toe for her, I guess, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
But just wild that would take a lot. I feel
like to be to feel safe in that setting.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
I thought this was interesting.

Speaker 5 (01:08:59):
The word that Vanya uses to insult Igor and Garnic
and then later Anora that they pick up on is gopnik.
And I found myself looking this up, but then it
was in the trivia too. It's a word in former
Soviet republics for a member of urban criminal, criminal subcultures

(01:09:19):
like young hoodlums and things like that. So I just
thought that was interesting because it obviously felt very charged
in a very specific like Armenian way, you know, kind
of situation. So I was glad to find out what
that meant. We already said that one. This was the

(01:09:39):
fifth film in a row to be distributed by Neon
in the in the United States to win the Palm
du Or at Cannes Film Festival. In the previous four
were Parasite.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
Uh, I don't I don't know how you say this
one Titanye, Maybe it's Titan with an E. I don't know.
I don't know that film.

Speaker 5 (01:10:01):
I guess from twenty twenty one Triangle of Sadness and
then Anatomy of a Fall.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
So they've had a good they've had a good run.

Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
He really good run.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
So Luna Sophia Miranda wasn't supposed to be working the
day she met Sean Baker and his wife at a
strip club and it ended up changing her life forever.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
She says.

Speaker 5 (01:10:22):
She was called in to work last minute as a
dancer in a Brooklyn strip club. She struck up a
conversation with these two that just looked like another couple
at the bar, and they turned out to be the
filmmaker and his producer wife, and they quickly discovered that
she was an aspiring actress and invited her to audition
for the role of Lulu, the best friend of Anora,

(01:10:43):
and then she helped work on the.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
Film and stuff. So that's pretty crazy, kind of fun.

Speaker 4 (01:10:47):
Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:10:50):
Sean Baker is the tenth person to receive an Oscar
nom for editing the film they also directed. The other
people were David Lean a Passage to India in eighty four,
Steve James Hoop Dreams in ninety four, the Cohen Brothers
for both Fargo and No Country for Old Men, James

(01:11:11):
Cameron Titanic and Avatar, Alfonso Cuaron, Children of Men in Gravity,
Michael oh Boy Hazan Visius for the Artist I've perfect. Yeah,
I guess Jean marc Vali from Dallas Buyers Club and
Clo Giao from Nomadland. Of these ten, Cameron for Titanic,

(01:11:32):
Quaron for Gravity, and Baker are the only ones who.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
Have won both awards. Wow, I just thought that was
kind of interesting. That doesn't happen very often.

Speaker 5 (01:11:41):
Yeah, oh, this is the backstory on Garnic. I thought
this was really interesting. They are Sean Baker and Vasher,
who is the person who plays Garnick. They came up
with the idea that he is an alcoholic, a recovering
alcoholic that has been sober for quite some time, and
then when he gets kicked in the nose and gets

(01:12:01):
given the pills, he falls off the wagon and then
starts drinking throughout the rest of the day. So he
sort of unravels, which is why, like he says that
stuff to the family and things like that, and they
just you can kind of see that, like things start going,
you know, circling the drain or whatever. And this is
hinted at earlier in the film when they're at the

(01:12:23):
New Year's Eve party when the two Toros and him
are talking.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
Garnic is drinking water while everyone else is partying around him.

Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
So I just thought that was kind of a new,
like fun backstory that they came up with that you
maybe don't need, but it's all the richer for it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
I just thought that was sure. And then the last
one that I have.

Speaker 5 (01:12:42):
In almost every scene where they appear together, right up
until the home invasion, Honora and Ivan are or Ivan
are shown wearing red and blue, usually one wearing one color,
the other wearing the opposite. And then when that home
invasion scene happens, Yvonne puts on pants over his blue
underpants and then a black hoodie on, and then he

(01:13:05):
immediately splits and they were talking about that's where like
that relationship was severed in that moment, and I just
was like, damn, I never would have noticed that, but that's.

Speaker 7 (01:13:13):
Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
I like stuff like that. So that's what I had, Rob,
Did you have any trivia?

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
I had a couple of things. During a shot of
the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, a billboard can
be seen promoting someone named Strawberry, and that's a character
from Sean Baker's earlier film red Rocket And I love
when when directors do stuff like that. That's Tarantino does
a lot of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
What that burger place, I can't remember what the.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
Burger place, the apple cigarettes. He has different things that
he does. The F word has said four hundred and
seventy nine times in this film, nice, which is pretty good.
It's a lot good. And one thing I saw just
on a clip somewhere was that the film costs like

(01:14:02):
six million dollars to make or something, and they spent
on the Academy Awards campaign like Triple they spent nineteen
million dollars on the Academy Awards campaign, which completely worked.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
That's wild. Yeah, they worked well for them, big time.
That was a lot of money on those awards. That's crazy, yep, crazy,
that's cool. Yeah, nice?

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
Yeah, did you have anything, Sammy? I know, no fear cool? Well,
will there be a sequel? Judgment day?

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
I doubt it?

Speaker 4 (01:14:37):
No, Honora to electrically.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
We have been friends for a minute.

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
We are the same person. Sweet, I can we can
agree there's not going to be a sequel. Then, will
you guys like to play a gate?

Speaker 8 (01:14:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
I did a starting five, but to name my five
favorite actress from a movie you ring in with your name.
If you get it wrong, there's no negative points, but
you won't be able to guess again for that movie.
If their actors' names remaining, you can guess those for
a point each. The other person can steal if you
get any of those names wrong. All of these films
have something in common. When you know the theme, you
can ring in at any.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Time for a point. Boo yah bou.

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
Yeah, I will say it's a tougher one. Okay, okay,
so we're ready feel bad if we don't do great.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
