Two months after the Oscars, it's time to revisit the award-winning films with fresh perspectives and honest opinions. Did these movies truly deserve their golden statues, or were some victories more puzzling than impressive?
"Conclave" emerges as the unexpected star of our conversation. This papal election drama gained eerie relevance following recent Vatican events, with all hosts agreeing it deserved more than its single Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. The film's exploration of church politics, stunning ensemble cast, and nuanced storytelling make it a unanimous recommendation.
Meanwhile, Best Picture winner "Anora" proves divisive. Described by one host as "incredibly depressing, disgusting, and dirty," this so-called "indie dramedy" raises questions about what makes a film Oscar-worthy. The revelation that Academy voters weren't previously required to watch all nominated films before voting casts doubt on the legitimacy of past winners, suggesting some victories might be more about marketing than merit.
Other films receive varied verdicts: Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown" surprises Dylan non-fans with its engaging storytelling and Timothée Chalamet's committed performance; "The Brutalist" proves worth its three-hour runtime with Adrian Brody's captivating portrayal of a Holocaust survivor; while horror-satire "Substance" prompts discussion about why established actors like Demi Moore choose such unusual projects.
Beyond film analysis, we propose a new segment for future episodes—"Weirdest Thing on Social Media"—sharing bizarre findings that left us scratching our heads. We also touch on Nicole Kidman's impressive work ethic, appearing in countless diverse projects while rumors swirl about her personal life.
What Oscar films have you caught up on since March? Which deserved their accolades, and which left you confused? Share your thoughts and recommendations for what we should watch next!

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Good evening everyone .
How are you?
Hello, better now.
Alright.
Hello and welcome to anotherepisode of 3 Cocktails In.
You've got Amy, stacey andKitty checking in for another
addicting conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
We are going to revisit an earlier conversation
that we had on our Oscars, theOscar nominees, the Oscar
winners this year, and we wantedto give ourselves a few weeks.
Let's see, we talked about thisback in March, right, and we
are now into May, so we wantedto give ourselves and our
(01:37):
viewers and our listeners sometime to take in some of the
movies.
We did not watch all of them.
We just wanted to have anotherfollow-up conversation on it.
So that's where we're goingtonight.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yes, so how many people?
Pretty much how, and I'mtalking to everybody now Did
everybody get to watch Conclavenow so we can understand what's
going on?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean, how incredibly timely right Isn't
that just crazy?
Yeah, I learned so muchwatching Conclave.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, and I'm sure, if it's in the movie, it's true.
I'm sure, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yes, you know, and the yeah, the process.
I'm sure that's kind of true.
You know all the drama behindit.
I question that, but I neverknow.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Well, I think there is drama.
Yeah, I'm sure there's drama.
You know different factions,that you know, like everything,
to develop some cohesion.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
a quorum yes, that's right, and so now they've been,
as they're getting ready for thereal conclave, they were
installing the chimney for whenthey give the signal that the
new pope has been chosen, andthey were also talking about
burning the ballots, and thatwas something that I didn't know
(03:02):
anything about.
So I loved it.
I thought it was a.
I was, I was glued to it.
I thought it was great.
Bill enjoyed it too.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Did you watch it before or after the Pope died?
After?
Oh, you did.
Okay, really interesting, okay,yep, yep, that was one that I
managed to watch before the Popedied.
Okay, that was one I was reallyinterested in and, from the
movie standpoint, to me that iswhat an Oscar-type movie in my
(03:39):
mind.
That's kind of what I think ofwhen I think of an Oscar winner.
That cast was amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Amazing.
Yes, based on the huge cast,the movie.
I'm going to be thestatistician tonight.
The movie got nominated foreight categories, but only one
won the best adapted screenplay.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh yeah, won the best adapted screenplay.
Oh yeah, why did they thinkthey won for costumes, which
made me laugh, because I'm likehow tough was that they were
nominated for costumes though,weren't they?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
might have been, might have been, but yeah, the
only one they won was bestadapted screenplay.
It was a book, a novel, so thatgot you know that's where it
was adapted from, that.
So yeah, I really liked it too,and again, most of those actors
in that you know I like anyway.
(04:35):
So yeah, surprised that itdidn't do better.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I don't usually watch .
I mean other than the classicsI don't usually watch.
I mean other than the classics.
I don't usually watch moviesmultiple times.
And by classics I mean Wizardof Oz, dirty Dancing, you know
those right up there.
But I think I would watch thisagain because I feel like Now
(05:04):
that I know what the story is,now I would like to watch it For
the nuance.
You know, like when you read areally good book You're just in
it for the mystery, that youkind of miss Some of the details
.
I think that would be a goodone to watch again.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So I think from that Are we saying three thumbs up
for Conclave.
Yeah, yes, should watch, if youhaven't watched it.
Yeah.
So I think from that are wesaying three thumbs up for
Conclave.
Yeah, I think, yes, yeah,should watch.
If you haven't watched it, youshould watch it.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And here ends my participation in this
conversation.
Oh, I did not.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Of all the movies too .
I think you can watch it forfree on Prime Video, so that's
one.
I didn't have to pay for A lotof them.
I did have to pay for a lot ofthem I did have to pay for.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, okay, um, so well, amy, you saw with you I
thought you saw wicked.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Oh, I have never seen wicked, not on stage.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Okay, not anything, and I never read the book it's a
book I'm the, I'm the outlier,yeah, I guess um so wicked was
the one that won for costumedesign right yes, costume design
and best production designwhatever that is nominated for
(06:24):
10 awards, won those two, whichI would agree with.
The costume design was prettygreat.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, yeah, amazing.
Yeah, I think you know in thisconversation and maybe I'm more
interested in a conversationaround why are they Oscar worthy
, how does the voting happen andthings like that, because Anora
(06:53):
was the big winner and Iwatched it.
Bill didn't watch it.
It was one of the movies that Iwatched during the day while I
was working and I was soincredibly disturbed by it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
That seems like, oh, I could watch Days of Our Lives,
or Nora, I know.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'll pick that.
I just I found it to be soincredibly depressing yes, and
disgusting and I'm not a prude,but I had a hard time watching
it and I had to keep turning itoff and then I would go back and
turning it up Because it justit was so disgusting and dirty
(07:36):
in.
You know certain parts of itFor those of you who watched it,
you know what I'm talking aboutand I was just like, yeah, I
just don't care for movies likethat.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, um, I know this is one of those that made me
think, um, that we just foundout that now everybody who votes
has to watch the movies.
We were all blown away by theidea that you, that you didn't
have to watch the movies and youcould vote right now they do,
(08:09):
but it's weird that they didn'tused to, which makes no sense to
me yeah so kitty when you'reasking why is it?
Why is it a winner?
Why isn't one?
I wonder if I mean again.
I wonder if everybody had towatch all of them, if it would
have been the same.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, yes, that's a good question.
So I think this one inparticular was getting a lot of
press this year, so it clinchedfive Oscars Best Picture
Director, original Screenplay,best Film Editing and Best
(08:47):
Actress and it's considered anindie drama.
(09:10):
No, indie dramedy.
So there was a comedy aspect tothis, but I'm just like what?
No, I don't get it.
No and um, but I think therewas sort of a focus on these
smaller productions and I thinkwe see that across some of the
other movies as well.
But, okay, we need to look upthat term Indie Dramedy.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Well, I think that I've heard it a lot more.
The whole idea that it's a, adramedy.
Is that what they're calling?
I've heard it before and allthat means to me is it's a
really there's smartassery inthis drama.
It's a really they're smartassery in this drama.
(09:48):
Is it a term that they'retrying to use to make it seem so
it's not like this dark,depressing movie to try and get
other people to watch it.
It seems like a marketing ployto me.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, because I mean it's not the least bit funny
ever.
Because I mean it's not theleast bit funny ever.
You know I swear.
Based on that it won BestPicture and Best Actress, just
(10:20):
like the winner last year, whichI had it on the tip of my
tongue, and now I don't know.
You know both.
Just very shocking.
You know what I mean.
I wouldn't say the story wasgood and I wouldn't say anything
was good about it, but it'sshocking, you know.
Way different than than aconclave and a wicked and a dune
, and you know what I mean.
Very way out there, that's forsure.
(10:43):
So sure so yeah, yeah, I don'tknow.
Like I said, I wouldn't have, Iwouldn't have picked it.
I also would not have pickedher for best actress as well.
I mean, you know, there wascertainly better um, her
character was.
(11:04):
You know, I'm sure it took alot to do the movie, but was she
the best actress?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Okay, I just I've got a little intel on this.
So Anora is considered adramedy because, while it has a
funny premise a strippermarrying a Russian oligarch's
son that's the funny situationit explores deeper themes like
love, control and independence.
(11:37):
So yeah, no, I know, okay, yeah, so what?
Amy touched on a little bitearlier and I think you sent us
that little piece of information, or maybe Stacey did.
One of you sent us that youdon't, as a voting member of the
(11:59):
Academy, you don't have towatch all of the movies.
You don't have to watch all ofthe movies.
They've now changed thatrequirement and now you do so.
We were kind of blown away bythat and for me it takes a lot
of the clout away.
For any of the winners in thepast Kind of takes the clout
away.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
For me it becomes a popularity contest yeah, 100%,
it becomes a marketing award.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah Well, and so drawing a comparison here,
picking the next pope is thesame thing, right?
So, as we learned in Conclaveand maybe this is more common
knowledge to people it justwasn't to me.
I'm not Catholic, I didn'treally know anything about how a
(12:52):
pope is selected, but if youare one of the cardinals who is
favored to be the next pope,you're basically in the conclave
and you're volleying for yourposition.
You're trying to get people tovote for you.
That's a popularity contest aswell yeah, I agree for a very
(13:15):
important position yeah, yeah,yep, you guys, we should do one
of our what's in your GoogleHistory again sometime soon.
I've got a whole bunch of stuffrelated that you were asking
that you're researching yes, yes, including.
(13:37):
How much does the pope make?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
oh, yeah, how much does the pope make?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
a lot millions a lot, but don't they usually not take
it?
I mean, I think this what?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
do they usually give it back?
Yeah, yeah, well, this, theydon't have any heirs.
The most recent Pope did nottake an income because he was
wealthy on his own before hebecame Pope Extremely, yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You want to rise to Pope?
Is that why you were looking,were not looking?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
no, just curious and since we've got pocket
calculators bill and I arealways like hmm, I wonder that
yeah, google that uh, kitty, didyou see the brutalist?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
no, I did not watch that one.
Okay, I'll give you a quick.
So this is a post-World War IIepic.
A Hungarian-born Jewisharchitect who survives the
Holocaust immigrates to the USwhere he struggles to achieve
the American dream until awealthy client changes his life.
So that's a quick synopsis.
(14:52):
I really liked it, even thoughit was like a three-hour movie.
It had an.
I think was it the one that hadthe intermission, I believe it
was Oddly dark, but I kind ofliked it.
I really did, and I canunderstand, for this one, why
(15:15):
adrian brody won for best actorum, it also won best original
score which that one surprisedme, by the way, just on a side
note, because I don't rememberany of the music you know to it,
so that's interesting and bestcinema photography, which I
would say that was probably good.
So yeah, I really it.
(15:35):
I give a thumbs up to that oneif anybody's wondering whether
to watch it Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, and I mean, what I'm hoping comes out of
these couple of conversationsthat we've had about these
movies is that maybe it willprompt someone to pull them up
and and and take a look at them.
I mean, really most of them areavailable to us on any number
of the streaming services thatwe have, and so it's because
(16:10):
everybody's always looking forcontent, right.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Or is that?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
everybody watching.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, I would like to watch this one, just because
I'm such a history buff.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah, you would like it.
You would really like it yeahit was interesting Except for
the three-hour part.
I know, yeah, but I didn't know.
You know, sometimes you're justreally bored and it's like, oh
my gosh, is this ever going togo on?
And it's like, oh my gosh, thisever gonna go on?
It drags was not draggy it I.
(16:40):
I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I liked it a lot all right, I think you'd like it,
okay, good, yeah, so, stacey,how did they do an intermission?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
well, I mean streaming.
It just said intermission andit just stopped for I don't know
how long.
Um, you know what I mean.
And then I just fast-forwardedthrough the intermission.
I'm sure they just you know,let everybody go get it
everybody probably.
I don't know how long it wouldhave been in the theater, but
(17:09):
yeah, I thought that wasinteresting.
So anyway, okay, what else didyou watch?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Kitty, a Complete Unknown.
So, and that one, I didn'treally think that I was going to
be interested in watching itbecause I've never really been
much of a Bob Dylan fan, but Ireally enjoyed it, just like
I've enjoyed some of these otherbiopics that have been done,
(17:37):
like Freddie Mercury and EltonJohn, and I really enjoyed it.
And again, you know, I'velearned things that I didn't
know before and I really enjoyedTimot, timothy Chalamet.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, I was surprised .
I think I'm doing some researchon it.
I think he sang, I mean, Ithink it was him really singing,
which is interesting how he,you know, did that.
I agree, I liked it fine.
Not near as well, as you know,know the elton john and and um
(18:20):
queen, but um, it also nominatedfor eight, one zero, if you can
believe.
That didn't win any awards, so,but yeah, it was a solid movie.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
you know I like yeah and I wonder if that one in
particular, because I remember,because, kitty, what you said
about it was very similar towhat my sister Ann said when we
had her on.
She wasn't a Bob Dylan fan, shedidn't really know anything
about him, she didn't think shewas gonna like it.
And it turns out she really didlike it because she learned so
(18:52):
much about the music scene atthat time.
So I'm wondering if it didn'twin anything Because A not
everybody had to watch it.
Who got to vote?
Maybe they just assumed it wasgoing to be another biopic, like
the other music picks that wereout there and like, yeah, I'm
(19:14):
not into that.
So they didn't vote for it andthey didn't give it a chance.
Yep, could be I, I would watchthat one too.
I will say that's another one,that.
So so far I would watch thelast three, just because, just
because, just because I'm noteither a big Dylan fan.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
It's kind of before us, yeah, and I mean it's got
really cool Minneapolis historyin it as well, because he was
from Minneapolis so that waskind of fun to see pop up in the
movie and there's a lot of loveand affection for him in this
city, so that's always cool too.
(19:58):
Yeah, yep, I'm.
I'm guessing, amy, that thesubstance is not going to be on
your playlist either no, no, andyet I love that actress.
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah, really Maybe you should watch it then.
That's one I've missed.
I haven't caught that one yet.
I want to watch it, but that'sone I haven't seen, yeah, so
you'll have to tell us all aboutthat, kitty.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah.
So it's basically a horrormovie, but it's like horror
satire and it's one of thosehorror movies that when it
starts creeping into the horroraspect of it, you think, oh my
God, this is going to be so goodand, keeping in mind you guys
know how much I love horror, sostarted going down that road and
(20:52):
we're all in.
But then the satire comes intoit and then it sort of starts to
lose me.
It's just, it's very, veryoutlandish and um and weird and
disgusting all at the same time.
But I kept asking myself thequestion why would demi more do
(21:12):
this movie?
Why would she do this movie?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
well, it was a pretty big cast as well.
I mean there's others in itthat this wasn't a yeah, your
typical b actor.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You know horror flick , so yeah, it's interesting yeah
it just you know, she know sheends up becoming a disfigured
monster in the movie.
Basically that you knowimplodes and so it's just weird,
(21:48):
but seems to have done goodthings for her career.
Seems to have done good thingsfor her career.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
There are times when I have watched things and, like
you, question why some of thecast made the choice to be in
the film, and I do remind myselfthat what the script said isn't
necessarily what gets presentedin the movie.
You know, who knows what's onthe cutting room floor that they
(22:20):
maybe thought was the thing,and you know so the writer's
vision isn't always the same asthe director's vision or the
editor or those things.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Well, and I don't I'm not criticizing I don't want
this to come across ascriticizing her and I think
there is something great aboutdoing something that you've
never done before.
We talked about this on aprevious episode about how there
are actors who tend to do thesame roles over and over again.
(22:56):
Yeah, and you know whatchallenge is that after a period
of time, and again no nocriticism there either because
we love those actors.
We love them for the roles thatthey play.
And you know, I want to sitdown and watch Matthew
McConaughey take his shirt offand fall in love with someone
(23:17):
you know, fall in love withwhat's her name in the beautiful
yellow dress?
Yeah, we love we love thosemovies, so I guess you know what
Good for her for doingsomething completely different.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yeah, has she been in anything?
Has she had such a large rolein a while?
Like I can't remember the lastmovie where she was, I don't
know what it would have been Aprimary player.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Which might have had something to do with it too.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, I mean, you know it was the leading role.
I can see why she would take it.
Sure, yeah, especially if sheyou know it was the leading role
, I can see why she would takeit.
Sure, yeah, especially if she'snot getting offered a lot of
other things.
Yeah, and in this instance, asodd as that role is, you're
right, it's not hurting hercareer any, you know.
So, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It's curious how actors look at scripts and what
they.
You know what they read and go.
I have to do this versusscripts that actors have passed
on and you know, and then mightand maybe regret, regret, yeah
oh, can I?
Speaker 4 (24:30):
can I go on a tangent here?
Should I make us a little.
As we talk about actors androles that they pass on, what do
you guys think about actors andactors in general, who pass on
roles, don't say anything aboutit and then a couple years later
they're in an interview andthen they like to name drop.
(24:52):
Well, well, I was, that wasoffered that first I didn't take
it.
I heard kate.
I love kate hudson.
I heard her do that about theanne hathaway role in the devil
wears prada and for the firsttime I thought um.
That didn't come off very good,you know yeah, I followed up
(25:15):
with, oh, I love annie.
Annie did such a great job.
That was a little yeah, I thinkthat was weird.
I didn't think.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I don't like it when they bring that up.
I mean, you know you, you madea mistake by turning it down, so
I don't think you get to bringit up and say, oh, they wanted
me first, you know, mm-hmm ohgosh, that's.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
That's funny to think about now if she had been in
that role yeah, doesn't seem.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, yeah, she doesn't seem.
She could pull off the realplain Jane part of it in the
beginning.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
But whatever, who knows.
I don't know.
I I do like it and I understandwhy people conducting the
interview ask, because it isreally juicy to know yeah, and
there are actors that have saidthat, yes, they, you know they
regretted not doing and they andthat person was so fabulous and
(26:15):
it just worked out all for thebest.
Yeah, I think Jennifer Lawrencegets asked that question a lot,
so she must have, you know,been up for a lot of roles, or
she's also really good aboutsaying, yeah, I auditioned for
that but I didn't get it, theydidn't choose.
Yeah, that, I think, is awonderful way, because you're
answering the question, you'resaying you wanted it, but you're
(26:39):
being endearing about the wholeidea that yeah, yeah, even you,
even she didn't get it.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Or other people who just say, oh, of course there
are, but I don't, I don't needto tell that, we don't need to
talk about it.
Yeah, I like that too.
So I thought it was kind ofweird.
So sorry, sorry for that littledetour.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
No, I was a good detour.
What else do we?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
have we talked a little bit about wicked?
I think we also saw a real pain.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That one was a best supporting actor I did watch
that right, not nominated for umbest, not our best movie, but
yes it was.
Yeah, it was for that um.
I think in the one with ann Italked a little bit about amelia
(27:33):
p Perez because I had seen thatI liked it Very interesting
movie, to say the least.
Was the most nominated for 13.
Did win two.
You know interesting.
See, to me that's an originalmovie.
You know it was a musical kindof a dark theme, just really
(27:59):
interesting to me.
I kind of liked it.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Was it nominated for an original screenplay or was it
an adaptation?
Is there a?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I don't know what the 13 are, so 13 nominations would
be for a lot of differentthings, but the two it won for
was Supporting Actress ZoeSaldana and Best Original Song,
el Mal, sung by I don't know who, so I don't know.
Like I said, I kind of liked it.
I would, I would watch it, Iobviously watched it, I would
(28:33):
suggest you watch it, justbecause it was the most
different thing, I think, of allof them for me, okay, whatever,
there was Dune Part 2.
So if you love Dune Part 1,which was a big box office hit,
you obviously liked Dune Part 2.
Not for me, again.
(28:53):
I think it was super long andnominated for five one best
sound and best visual effects,which I would agree, that would
be that category.
So interesting that it was, youknow, nominated for best
picture as well, because it wasjust a, you know, sci-fi type
(29:16):
movie kitty, did you watch that?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
no okay, I'm probably not going to watch that one.
I'll just tell you guys rightnow yeah, sorry about that it
was more like I suffered throughthe whole thing just because
the closest I got to watchingDune was one night when I was
scrolling through all myavailable soundscapes on my Calm
(29:43):
app when I went to bed, one ofthem was Dune Winter and one was
Dune Summer.
And I tried and it was justblowing wind wind.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Uh-oh, oh, there you are, you're back, kitty left,
and now she's back.
Oh, she, she's blinking.
We've had technicaldifficulties this evening, so,
just like usual, you just neverknow.
Well, my dog you're holding onstrong I don't know if she,
maybe she can't hear us anymoreyeah, what other movies did you
(30:21):
watch?
stacy um ones that we haven'tcovered yet no, the only other
two that we haven't talked aboutare two I didn't see that's
nickel boys, which is a drama oftwo young men incarcerated at
an inhumane school for boys inFlorida.
Nominated for two awards, onezero, and the last one was I'm
(30:45):
Still here, and at least theseare all the ten that were
nominated for Best Picture Filmbased on a true story set in
1970s, rio de Janeiro, whenBrazil was living under military
dictatorship.
Nominated for two won bestinternational feature.
I think it was you know, mostlyfor that reason I think it was
(31:12):
you know.
Foreign film probably.
I think it's hard.
I can't see where it'sstreaming um anywhere, so I
don't know where you would watchthat for sure.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I thought that I saw it as an option.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Oh, did you.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
By the time I'm ready to watch a movie at night, like
I think that was the one thatAnn was talking about, with the
subtitles, but then also theaudio assist and they had
subtitles over the audio and itwas, yeah, very challenging.
So maybe, maybe, if, after I'mdone, um with all my at-home
(31:50):
studies, there you go you canpick them up, right, yeah, or at
least you have, a least youhave a list, um.
So I know that this isn't, um,you know, part of the oscar
conversation, but I did heartoday that I think memorial day
weekend, um lilo and stitch, alive action movie of lilo is
(32:17):
opening now.
That that was one of our mygirls favorite movies, um, when
they were little, and that hasgot awesome soundtrack because
it's elvis.
It's elvis in hawaii.
Um, I'm thinking I'm I mighthave to go, or at least wait
(32:39):
until it's on streaming.
I would watch that how's thatfor a weird thing coming up, so
all of us probably have kidsthat are that grew up watching
that yeah that age.
Yeah, that was one of myfavorites, so or grew up
watching that, yeah that age.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yep yeah, Lee Lowenstein oh cool.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
That was one of my favorites, so yeah, well, poor
Kitty is she looks lovely, bythe way, she does look more than
lovely.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Better than lovely, oh, always.
But I don't think she can hearus and I don't think she's
talking, so we'll just look ather and continue on with our
conversation.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Okay, let's.
We kind of talked about all ofthe the movies and what we
should see and what we shouldn't.
So with that in mind, we've gotstill, you know, everybody has
some, some options coming uphere of things to do.
So what do we think?
Do we have shots?
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Stacy did you have a shot.
I have a.
I know what you're one of thethings you're going to say, so
I'm going to go after you, soyou go first.
Oh I didn't have a shot.
I thought you had a commentabout something I don't know no,
kitty had a pet peeve, she wasgonna share yeah, okay.
(34:03):
Well then, I'll go on with me.
I would like to um suggest weadd a new segment segment to our
show called weirdest thing onsocial media oh, is this because
of my, my story that I shared?
(34:25):
yeah, so, um, my weird thing,weird thing of the week that I
saw was ke Urban singing PinkPony Club.
Now it was good, I'm not,that's not the weird part, I
just think it's very weird.
(34:45):
Why, number one?
Why?
Why would he sing it?
And you know, I really likeChapel Rowan, I really do and I
really like the song, but KeithUrban singing it, that's a
little weird for me.
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yeah, the weirdest thing I saw on the internet this
week and I shared it to myInstagram story was a woman with
a manicure that looked justlike hard salami, holding a
sleeve of hard salami.
It was so gross.
(35:20):
I don't know why, and also Idon't know why my algorithm
thought I needed to see that Idon't scroll anything that says
give me manicures that look likefood.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I know I swear some of those things are AI, like
I've seen the one where thepedicure looks like eyeballs,
like again, really, I don'tthink so and I think somebody
just did it in ai.
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Just yeah, I think that would be.
I think that would be a reallygood way, like, if you don't
have a shot, we can at leastshare the weirdest thing we saw
on the internet weirdest thingwe saw.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
in our opinion, because of course that's my
opinion I'm sure everyone thatlikes keith urban thought it was
fabulous and it was good.
I'm not saying it wasn't, itwas just weird for me.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Yeah, speaking of Keith Urban, I heard a little
tidbit on the radio.
I got nothing to back this up,folks, but the people in the
blinds were talking.
We're talking that Miss NicoleKidman stepping out with a
younger man while Keith Urban isroaming the country looking for
(36:31):
the next young country star,but it further said he doesn't
care.
Interesting, interesting.
You know, I could see thatmaybe that marriage wasn't going
to last.
She's been working like a crazywoman for the last two years.
She's everywhere.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
She has, and that full circle back to when we talk
about.
You know, why do people, why doactors pick the movies we do?
She is in a million things ayear I think I've brought that
up before and just really alldifferent, yeah things.
You know, like she'll.
It's almost like she will takeany role, you know yeah, oh,
(37:16):
speaking of that, that's my shot.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Then I'm gonna I'm gonna say um, there's a new
season of nine perfect strangers.
Is that that what it's called?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yes, Nine Perfect Strangers.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Nine Perfect Strangers.
Nicole Kidman's this healthguru but she's into psychedelic
drugs and microdosing the peopleand they're chosen for
something specific that theyneed to get through.
I watched that first season.
Melissa McCarthy was in it.
Some other famous people werein it.
Go watch the first season.
You've got in it.
Some other famous people werein it.
Go watch the first season.
You've got to be able to findit on one of the streaming
(37:49):
services.
I actually think it was onApple or Hulu it's on.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Apple or Hulu, because I don't have those right
now, and I did realize that I'mgoing to have to re-sign up
because the new one is comingout, I think maybe the end of
May, and I'm super excited forit yeah, I told you that I
hadn't seen it and I had, which,which kind of shows you what I
thought, which I thought of itbecause I didn't, I didn't
(38:16):
remember until the first, youknow, two minutes of me watching
the first episode.
It's like, oh yeah, now Iremember it, yeah, so I've seen
it.
I think titles don't reflect oncontent yeah, no, not really but
that, but that's what it isthere really are nine perfect
strangers when they start.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Yeah, yeah, huh so that that's, uh, I don't know if
it's viewing season foreverybody.
I think that sometimes you,it's always viewing season in my
world.
Yeah, yep, yes, all right.
Would love to hear what otherpeople, if they watched any of
the Oscar movies since the firstconversation that we had.
(39:00):
Where people came down on whatside, what movie did they like,
what didn't they like, and wouldlove to hear what we should be
watching next.
Yes, I agree, where people camedown, on what side, what movie
did they like, what didn't theylike?
And, uh, would love to hearwhat we should be watching next.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Yes, I agree.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Good evening everyone .
How are you?
Hello, better now.
Alright.
Hello and welcome to anotherepisode of 3 Cocktails In.
You've got Amy, stacey andKitty checking in for another
addicting conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Certainly.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
We are going to revisit an earlier conversation
that we had on our Oscars, theOscar nominees, the Oscar
winners this year, and we wantedto give ourselves a few weeks.
Let's see, we talked about thisback in March, right, and we
are now into May, so we wantedto give ourselves and our
(01:37):
viewers and our listeners sometime to take in some of the
movies.
We did not watch all of them.
We just wanted to have anotherfollow-up conversation on it.
So that's where we're goingtonight.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yes, so how many people?
Pretty much how, and I'mtalking to everybody now Did
everybody get to watch Conclavenow so we can understand what's
going on?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean, how incredibly timely right Isn't
that just crazy?
Yeah, I learned so muchwatching Conclave.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, and I'm sure, if it's in the movie, it's true.
I'm sure, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yes, you know, and the yeah, the process.
I'm sure that's kind of true.
You know all the drama behindit.
I question that, but I neverknow.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Well, I think there is drama.
Yeah, I'm sure there's drama.
You know different factions,that you know, like everything,
to develop some cohesion.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
a quorum yes, that's right, and so now they've been,
as they're getting ready for thereal conclave, they were
installing the chimney for whenthey give the signal that the
new pope has been chosen, andthey were also talking about
burning the ballots, and thatwas something that I didn't know
(03:02):
anything about.
So I loved it.
I thought it was a.
I was, I was glued to it.
I thought it was great.
Bill enjoyed it too.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Did you watch it before or after the Pope died?
After?
Oh, you did.
Okay, really interesting, okay,yep, yep, that was one that I
managed to watch before the Popedied.
Okay, that was one I was reallyinterested in and, from the
movie standpoint, to me that iswhat an Oscar-type movie in my
(03:39):
mind.
That's kind of what I think ofwhen I think of an Oscar winner.
That cast was amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Amazing.
Yes, based on the huge cast,the movie.
I'm going to be thestatistician tonight.
The movie got nominated foreight categories, but only one
won the best adapted screenplay.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh yeah, won the best adapted screenplay.
Oh yeah, why did they thinkthey won for costumes, which
made me laugh, because I'm likehow tough was that they were
nominated for costumes though,weren't they?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
might have been, might have been, but yeah, the
only one they won was bestadapted screenplay.
It was a book, a novel, so thatgot you know that's where it
was adapted from, that.
So yeah, I really liked it too,and again, most of those actors
in that you know I like anyway.
(04:35):
So yeah, surprised that itdidn't do better.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I don't usually watch .
I mean other than the classicsI don't usually watch.
I mean other than the classics.
I don't usually watch moviesmultiple times.
And by classics I mean Wizardof Oz, dirty Dancing, you know
those right up there.
But I think I would watch thisagain because I feel like Now
(05:04):
that I know what the story is,now I would like to watch it For
the nuance.
You know, like when you read areally good book You're just in
it for the mystery, that youkind of miss Some of the details
.
I think that would be a goodone to watch again.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So I think from that Are we saying three thumbs up
for Conclave.
Yeah, yes, should watch, if youhaven't watched it.
Yeah.
So I think from that are wesaying three thumbs up for
Conclave.
Yeah, I think, yes, yeah,should watch.
If you haven't watched it, youshould watch it.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And here ends my participation in this
conversation.
Oh, I did not.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Of all the movies too .
I think you can watch it forfree on Prime Video, so that's
one.
I didn't have to pay for A lotof them.
I did have to pay for a lot ofthem I did have to pay for.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, okay, um, so well, amy, you saw with you I
thought you saw wicked.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Oh, I have never seen wicked, not on stage.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Okay, not anything, and I never read the book it's a
book I'm the, I'm the outlier,yeah, I guess um so wicked was
the one that won for costumedesign right yes, costume design
and best production designwhatever that is nominated for
(06:24):
10 awards, won those two, whichI would agree with.
The costume design was prettygreat.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, yeah, amazing.
Yeah, I think you know in thisconversation and maybe I'm more
interested in a conversationaround why are they Oscar worthy
, how does the voting happen andthings like that, because Anora
(06:53):
was the big winner and Iwatched it.
Bill didn't watch it.
It was one of the movies that Iwatched during the day while I
was working and I was soincredibly disturbed by it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
That seems like, oh, I could watch Days of Our Lives,
or Nora, I know.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'll pick that.
I just I found it to be soincredibly depressing yes, and
disgusting and I'm not a prude,but I had a hard time watching
it and I had to keep turning itoff and then I would go back and
turning it up Because it justit was so disgusting and dirty
(07:36):
in.
You know certain parts of itFor those of you who watched it,
you know what I'm talking aboutand I was just like, yeah, I
just don't care for movies likethat.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, um, I know this is one of those that made me
think, um, that we just foundout that now everybody who votes
has to watch the movies.
We were all blown away by theidea that you, that you didn't
have to watch the movies and youcould vote right now they do,
(08:09):
but it's weird that they didn'tused to, which makes no sense to
me yeah so kitty when you'reasking why is it?
Why is it a winner?
Why isn't one?
I wonder if I mean again.
I wonder if everybody had towatch all of them, if it would
have been the same.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, yes, that's a good question.
So I think this one inparticular was getting a lot of
press this year, so it clinchedfive Oscars Best Picture
Director, original Screenplay,best Film Editing and Best
(08:47):
Actress and it's considered anindie drama.
(09:10):
No, indie dramedy.
So there was a comedy aspect tothis, but I'm just like what?
No, I don't get it.
No and um, but I think therewas sort of a focus on these
smaller productions and I thinkwe see that across some of the
other movies as well.
But, okay, we need to look upthat term Indie Dramedy.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Well, I think that I've heard it a lot more.
The whole idea that it's a, adramedy.
Is that what they're calling?
I've heard it before and allthat means to me is it's a
really there's smartassery inthis drama.
It's a really they're smartassery in this drama.
(09:48):
Is it a term that they'retrying to use to make it seem so
it's not like this dark,depressing movie to try and get
other people to watch it.
It seems like a marketing ployto me.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah, because I mean it's not the least bit funny
ever.
Because I mean it's not theleast bit funny ever.
You know I swear.
Based on that it won BestPicture and Best Actress, just
(10:20):
like the winner last year, whichI had it on the tip of my
tongue, and now I don't know.
You know both.
Just very shocking.
You know what I mean.
I wouldn't say the story wasgood and I wouldn't say anything
was good about it, but it'sshocking, you know.
Way different than than aconclave and a wicked and a dune
, and you know what I mean.
Very way out there, that's forsure.
(10:43):
So sure so yeah, yeah, I don'tknow.
Like I said, I wouldn't have, Iwouldn't have picked it.
I also would not have pickedher for best actress as well.
I mean, you know, there wascertainly better um, her
character was.
(11:04):
You know, I'm sure it took alot to do the movie, but was she
the best actress?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Okay, I just I've got a little intel on this.
So Anora is considered adramedy because, while it has a
funny premise a strippermarrying a Russian oligarch's
son that's the funny situationit explores deeper themes like
love, control and independence.
(11:37):
So yeah, no, I know, okay, yeah, so what?
Amy touched on a little bitearlier and I think you sent us
that little piece of information, or maybe Stacey did.
One of you sent us that youdon't, as a voting member of the
(11:59):
Academy, you don't have towatch all of the movies.
You don't have to watch all ofthe movies.
They've now changed thatrequirement and now you do so.
We were kind of blown away bythat and for me it takes a lot
of the clout away.
For any of the winners in thepast Kind of takes the clout
away.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
For me it becomes a popularity contest yeah, 100%,
it becomes a marketing award.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah Well, and so drawing a comparison here,
picking the next pope is thesame thing, right?
So, as we learned in Conclaveand maybe this is more common
knowledge to people it justwasn't to me.
I'm not Catholic, I didn'treally know anything about how a
(12:52):
pope is selected, but if youare one of the cardinals who is
favored to be the next pope,you're basically in the conclave
and you're volleying for yourposition.
You're trying to get people tovote for you.
That's a popularity contest aswell yeah, I agree for a very
(13:15):
important position yeah, yeah,yep, you guys, we should do one
of our what's in your GoogleHistory again sometime soon.
I've got a whole bunch of stuffrelated that you were asking
that you're researching yes, yes, including.
(13:37):
How much does the pope make?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
oh, yeah, how much does the pope make?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
a lot millions a lot, but don't they usually not take
it?
I mean, I think this what?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
do they usually give it back?
Yeah, yeah, well, this, theydon't have any heirs.
The most recent Pope did nottake an income because he was
wealthy on his own before hebecame Pope Extremely, yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You want to rise to Pope?
Is that why you were looking,were not looking?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
no, just curious and since we've got pocket
calculators bill and I arealways like hmm, I wonder that
yeah, google that uh, kitty, didyou see the brutalist?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
no, I did not watch that one.
Okay, I'll give you a quick.
So this is a post-World War IIepic.
A Hungarian-born Jewisharchitect who survives the
Holocaust immigrates to the USwhere he struggles to achieve
the American dream until awealthy client changes his life.
So that's a quick synopsis.
(14:52):
I really liked it, even thoughit was like a three-hour movie.
It had an.
I think was it the one that hadthe intermission, I believe it
was Oddly dark, but I kind ofliked it.
I really did, and I canunderstand, for this one, why
(15:15):
adrian brody won for best actorum, it also won best original
score which that one surprisedme, by the way, just on a side
note, because I don't rememberany of the music you know to it,
so that's interesting and bestcinema photography, which I
would say that was probably good.
So yeah, I really it.
(15:35):
I give a thumbs up to that oneif anybody's wondering whether
to watch it Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, and I mean, what I'm hoping comes out of
these couple of conversationsthat we've had about these
movies is that maybe it willprompt someone to pull them up
and and and take a look at them.
I mean, really most of them areavailable to us on any number
of the streaming services thatwe have, and so it's because
(16:10):
everybody's always looking forcontent, right.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Or is that?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
everybody watching.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, I would like to watch this one, just because
I'm such a history buff.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah, you would like it.
You would really like it yeahit was interesting Except for
the three-hour part.
I know, yeah, but I didn't know.
You know, sometimes you're justreally bored and it's like, oh
my gosh, is this ever going togo on?
And it's like, oh my gosh, thisever gonna go on?
It drags was not draggy it I.
(16:40):
I thought it was okay.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I liked it a lot all right, I think you'd like it,
okay, good, yeah, so, stacey,how did they do an intermission?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
well, I mean streaming.
It just said intermission andit just stopped for I don't know
how long.
Um, you know what I mean.
And then I just fast-forwardedthrough the intermission.
I'm sure they just you know,let everybody go get it
everybody probably.
I don't know how long it wouldhave been in the theater, but
(17:09):
yeah, I thought that wasinteresting.
So anyway, okay, what else didyou watch?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Kitty, a Complete Unknown.
So, and that one, I didn'treally think that I was going to
be interested in watching itbecause I've never really been
much of a Bob Dylan fan, but Ireally enjoyed it, just like
I've enjoyed some of these otherbiopics that have been done,
(17:37):
like Freddie Mercury and EltonJohn, and I really enjoyed it.
And again, you know, I'velearned things that I didn't
know before and I really enjoyedTimot, timothy Chalamet.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, I was surprised .
I think I'm doing some researchon it.
I think he sang, I mean, Ithink it was him really singing,
which is interesting how he,you know, did that.
I agree, I liked it fine.
Not near as well, as you know,know the elton john and and um
(18:20):
queen, but um, it also nominatedfor eight, one zero, if you can
believe.
That didn't win any awards, so,but yeah, it was a solid movie.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
you know I like yeah and I wonder if that one in
particular, because I remember,because, kitty, what you said
about it was very similar towhat my sister Ann said when we
had her on.
She wasn't a Bob Dylan fan, shedidn't really know anything
about him, she didn't think shewas gonna like it.
And it turns out she really didlike it because she learned so
(18:52):
much about the music scene atthat time.
So I'm wondering if it didn'twin anything Because A not
everybody had to watch it.
Who got to vote?
Maybe they just assumed it wasgoing to be another biopic, like
the other music picks that wereout there and like, yeah, I'm
(19:14):
not into that.
So they didn't vote for it andthey didn't give it a chance.
Yep, could be I, I would watchthat one too.
I will say that's another one,that.
So so far I would watch thelast three, just because, just
because, just because I'm noteither a big Dylan fan.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
It's kind of before us, yeah, and I mean it's got
really cool Minneapolis historyin it as well, because he was
from Minneapolis so that waskind of fun to see pop up in the
movie and there's a lot of loveand affection for him in this
city, so that's always cool too.
(19:58):
Yeah, yep, I'm.
I'm guessing, amy, that thesubstance is not going to be on
your playlist either no, no, andyet I love that actress.
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah, really Maybe you should watch it then.
That's one I've missed.
I haven't caught that one yet.
I want to watch it, but that'sone I haven't seen, yeah, so
you'll have to tell us all aboutthat, kitty.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah.
So it's basically a horrormovie, but it's like horror
satire and it's one of thosehorror movies that when it
starts creeping into the horroraspect of it, you think, oh my
God, this is going to be so goodand, keeping in mind you guys
know how much I love horror, sostarted going down that road and
(20:52):
we're all in.
But then the satire comes intoit and then it sort of starts to
lose me.
It's just, it's very, veryoutlandish and um and weird and
disgusting all at the same time.
But I kept asking myself thequestion why would demi more do
(21:12):
this movie?
Why would she do this movie?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
well, it was a pretty big cast as well.
I mean there's others in itthat this wasn't a yeah, your
typical b actor.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You know horror flick , so yeah, it's interesting yeah
it just you know, she know sheends up becoming a disfigured
monster in the movie.
Basically that you knowimplodes and so it's just weird,
(21:48):
but seems to have done goodthings for her career.
Seems to have done good thingsfor her career.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
There are times when I have watched things and, like
you, question why some of thecast made the choice to be in
the film, and I do remind myselfthat what the script said isn't
necessarily what gets presentedin the movie.
You know, who knows what's onthe cutting room floor that they
(22:20):
maybe thought was the thing,and you know so the writer's
vision isn't always the same asthe director's vision or the
editor or those things.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Well, and I don't I'm not criticizing I don't want
this to come across ascriticizing her and I think
there is something great aboutdoing something that you've
never done before.
We talked about this on aprevious episode about how there
are actors who tend to do thesame roles over and over again.
(22:56):
Yeah, and you know whatchallenge is that after a period
of time, and again no nocriticism there either because
we love those actors.
We love them for the roles thatthey play.
And you know, I want to sitdown and watch Matthew
McConaughey take his shirt offand fall in love with someone
(23:17):
you know, fall in love withwhat's her name in the beautiful
yellow dress?
Yeah, we love we love thosemovies, so I guess you know what
Good for her for doingsomething completely different.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yeah, has she been in anything?
Has she had such a large rolein a while?
Like I can't remember the lastmovie where she was, I don't
know what it would have been Aprimary player.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Which might have had something to do with it too.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, I mean, you know it was the leading role.
I can see why she would take it.
Sure, yeah, especially if sheyou know it was the leading role
, I can see why she would takeit.
Sure, yeah, especially if she'snot getting offered a lot of
other things.
Yeah, and in this instance, asodd as that role is, you're
right, it's not hurting hercareer any, you know.
So, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It's curious how actors look at scripts and what
they.
You know what they read and go.
I have to do this versusscripts that actors have passed
on and you know, and then mightand maybe regret, regret, yeah
oh, can I?
Speaker 4 (24:30):
can I go on a tangent here?
Should I make us a little.
As we talk about actors androles that they pass on, what do
you guys think about actors andactors in general, who pass on
roles, don't say anything aboutit and then a couple years later
they're in an interview andthen they like to name drop.
(24:52):
Well, well, I was, that wasoffered that first I didn't take
it.
I heard kate.
I love kate hudson.
I heard her do that about theanne hathaway role in the devil
wears prada and for the firsttime I thought um.
That didn't come off very good,you know yeah, I followed up
(25:15):
with, oh, I love annie.
Annie did such a great job.
That was a little yeah, I thinkthat was weird.
I didn't think.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I don't like it when they bring that up.
I mean, you know you, you madea mistake by turning it down, so
I don't think you get to bringit up and say, oh, they wanted
me first, you know, mm-hmm ohgosh, that's.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
That's funny to think about now if she had been in
that role yeah, doesn't seem.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, yeah, she doesn't seem.
She could pull off the realplain Jane part of it in the
beginning.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
But whatever, who knows.
I don't know.
I I do like it and I understandwhy people conducting the
interview ask, because it isreally juicy to know yeah, and
there are actors that have saidthat, yes, they, you know they
regretted not doing and they andthat person was so fabulous and
(26:15):
it just worked out all for thebest.
Yeah, I think Jennifer Lawrencegets asked that question a lot,
so she must have, you know,been up for a lot of roles, or
she's also really good aboutsaying, yeah, I auditioned for
that but I didn't get it, theydidn't choose.
Yeah, that, I think, is awonderful way, because you're
answering the question, you'resaying you wanted it, but you're
(26:39):
being endearing about the wholeidea that yeah, yeah, even you,
even she didn't get it.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Or other people who just say, oh, of course there
are, but I don't, I don't needto tell that, we don't need to
talk about it.
Yeah, I like that too.
So I thought it was kind ofweird.
So sorry, sorry for that littledetour.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
No, I was a good detour.
What else do we?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
have we talked a little bit about wicked?
I think we also saw a real pain.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
That one was a best supporting actor I did watch
that right, not nominated for umbest, not our best movie, but
yes it was.
Yeah, it was for that um.
I think in the one with ann Italked a little bit about amelia
(27:33):
p Perez because I had seen thatI liked it Very interesting
movie, to say the least.
Was the most nominated for 13.
Did win two.
You know interesting.
See, to me that's an originalmovie.
You know it was a musical kindof a dark theme, just really
(27:59):
interesting to me.
I kind of liked it.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Was it nominated for an original screenplay or was it
an adaptation?
Is there a?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I don't know what the 13 are, so 13 nominations would
be for a lot of differentthings, but the two it won for
was Supporting Actress ZoeSaldana and Best Original Song,
el Mal, sung by I don't know who, so I don't know.
Like I said, I kind of liked it.
I would, I would watch it, Iobviously watched it, I would
(28:33):
suggest you watch it, justbecause it was the most
different thing, I think, of allof them for me, okay, whatever,
there was Dune Part 2.
So if you love Dune Part 1,which was a big box office hit,
you obviously liked Dune Part 2.
Not for me, again.
(28:53):
I think it was super long andnominated for five one best
sound and best visual effects,which I would agree, that would
be that category.
So interesting that it was, youknow, nominated for best
picture as well, because it wasjust a, you know, sci-fi type
(29:16):
movie kitty, did you watch that?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
no okay, I'm probably not going to watch that one.
I'll just tell you guys rightnow yeah, sorry about that it
was more like I suffered throughthe whole thing just because
the closest I got to watchingDune was one night when I was
scrolling through all myavailable soundscapes on my Calm
(29:43):
app when I went to bed, one ofthem was Dune Winter and one was
Dune Summer.
And I tried and it was justblowing wind wind.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Uh-oh, oh, there you are, you're back, kitty left,
and now she's back.
Oh, she, she's blinking.
We've had technicaldifficulties this evening, so,
just like usual, you just neverknow.
Well, my dog you're holding onstrong I don't know if she,
maybe she can't hear us anymoreyeah, what other movies did you
(30:21):
watch?
stacy um ones that we haven'tcovered yet no, the only other
two that we haven't talked aboutare two I didn't see that's
nickel boys, which is a drama oftwo young men incarcerated at
an inhumane school for boys inFlorida.
Nominated for two awards, onezero, and the last one was I'm
(30:45):
Still here, and at least theseare all the ten that were
nominated for Best Picture Filmbased on a true story set in
1970s, rio de Janeiro, whenBrazil was living under military
dictatorship.
Nominated for two won bestinternational feature.
I think it was you know, mostlyfor that reason I think it was
(31:12):
you know.
Foreign film probably.
I think it's hard.
I can't see where it'sstreaming um anywhere, so I
don't know where you would watchthat for sure.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I thought that I saw it as an option.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Oh, did you.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
By the time I'm ready to watch a movie at night, like
I think that was the one thatAnn was talking about, with the
subtitles, but then also theaudio assist and they had
subtitles over the audio and itwas, yeah, very challenging.
So maybe, maybe, if, after I'mdone, um with all my at-home
(31:50):
studies, there you go you canpick them up, right, yeah, or at
least you have, a least youhave a list, um.
So I know that this isn't, um,you know, part of the oscar
conversation, but I did heartoday that I think memorial day
weekend, um lilo and stitch, alive action movie of lilo is
(32:17):
opening now.
That that was one of our mygirls favorite movies, um, when
they were little, and that hasgot awesome soundtrack because
it's elvis.
It's elvis in hawaii.
Um, I'm thinking I'm I mighthave to go, or at least wait
(32:39):
until it's on streaming.
I would watch that how's thatfor a weird thing coming up, so
all of us probably have kidsthat are that grew up watching
that yeah that age.
Yeah, that was one of myfavorites, so or grew up
watching that, yeah that age.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yep yeah, Lee Lowenstein oh cool.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
That was one of my favorites, so yeah, well, poor
Kitty is she looks lovely, bythe way, she does look more than
lovely.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Better than lovely, oh, always.
But I don't think she can hearus and I don't think she's
talking, so we'll just look ather and continue on with our
conversation.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Okay, let's.
We kind of talked about all ofthe the movies and what we
should see and what we shouldn't.
So with that in mind, we've gotstill, you know, everybody has
some, some options coming uphere of things to do.
So what do we think?
Do we have shots?
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Stacy did you have a shot.
I have a.
I know what you're one of thethings you're going to say, so
I'm going to go after you, soyou go first.
Oh I didn't have a shot.
I thought you had a commentabout something I don't know no,
kitty had a pet peeve, she wasgonna share yeah, okay.
(34:03):
Well then, I'll go on with me.
I would like to um suggest weadd a new segment segment to our
show called weirdest thing onsocial media oh, is this because
of my, my story that I shared?
(34:25):
yeah, so, um, my weird thing,weird thing of the week that I
saw was ke Urban singing PinkPony Club.
Now it was good, I'm not,that's not the weird part, I
just think it's very weird.
(34:45):
Why, number one?
Why?
Why would he sing it?
And you know, I really likeChapel Rowan, I really do and I
really like the song, but KeithUrban singing it, that's a
little weird for me.
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yeah, the weirdest thing I saw on the internet this
week and I shared it to myInstagram story was a woman with
a manicure that looked justlike hard salami, holding a
sleeve of hard salami.
It was so gross.
(35:20):
I don't know why, and also Idon't know why my algorithm
thought I needed to see that Idon't scroll anything that says
give me manicures that look likefood.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I know I swear some of those things are AI, like
I've seen the one where thepedicure looks like eyeballs,
like again, really, I don'tthink so and I think somebody
just did it in ai.
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Just yeah, I think that would be.
I think that would be a reallygood way, like, if you don't
have a shot, we can at leastshare the weirdest thing we saw
on the internet weirdest thingwe saw.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
in our opinion, because of course that's my
opinion I'm sure everyone thatlikes keith urban thought it was
fabulous and it was good.
I'm not saying it wasn't, itwas just weird for me.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Yeah, speaking of Keith Urban, I heard a little
tidbit on the radio.
I got nothing to back this up,folks, but the people in the
blinds were talking.
We're talking that Miss NicoleKidman stepping out with a
younger man while Keith Urban isroaming the country looking for
(36:31):
the next young country star,but it further said he doesn't
care.
Interesting, interesting.
You know, I could see thatmaybe that marriage wasn't going
to last.
She's been working like a crazywoman for the last two years.
She's everywhere.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
She has, and that full circle back to when we talk
about.
You know, why do people, why doactors pick the movies we do?
She is in a million things ayear I think I've brought that
up before and just really alldifferent, yeah things.
You know, like she'll.
It's almost like she will takeany role, you know yeah, oh,
(37:16):
speaking of that, that's my shot.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Then I'm gonna I'm gonna say um, there's a new
season of nine perfect strangers.
Is that that what it's called?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Yes, Nine Perfect Strangers.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Nine Perfect Strangers.
Nicole Kidman's this healthguru but she's into psychedelic
drugs and microdosing the peopleand they're chosen for
something specific that theyneed to get through.
I watched that first season.
Melissa McCarthy was in it.
Some other famous people werein it.
Go watch the first season.
You've got in it.
Some other famous people werein it.
Go watch the first season.
You've got to be able to findit on one of the streaming
(37:49):
services.
I actually think it was onApple or Hulu it's on.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Apple or Hulu, because I don't have those right
now, and I did realize that I'mgoing to have to re-sign up
because the new one is comingout, I think maybe the end of
May, and I'm super excited forit yeah, I told you that I
hadn't seen it and I had, which,which kind of shows you what I
thought, which I thought of itbecause I didn't, I didn't
(38:16):
remember until the first, youknow, two minutes of me watching
the first episode.
It's like, oh yeah, now Iremember it, yeah, so I've seen
it.
I think titles don't reflect oncontent yeah, no, not really but
that, but that's what it isthere really are nine perfect
strangers when they start.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Yeah, yeah, huh so that that's, uh, I don't know if
it's viewing season foreverybody.
I think that sometimes you,it's always viewing season in my
world.
Yeah, yep, yes, all right.
Would love to hear what otherpeople, if they watched any of
the Oscar movies since the firstconversation that we had.
(39:00):
