Tonight we are.
So it's March and one of theiconic things that happens in
March, in addition to all of thebasketball, is the Oscars,
oscars or the Oscars.
(02:01):
So and this is one of thosethings that I remember in years
past, I would make sure I wouldcatch every single movie.
I couldn't wait for the Oscars.
I would, you know, want towatch it from a production
standpoint, the outfits and whois there and all of that.
And I did watch it.
(02:22):
I did watch it on Sunday night,but I have I am embarrassed to
say that I've only seen two ofthe Oscar winning movies.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You got me beat.
I saw one.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You've seen two One of the.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I think it did win an award, but I saw one.
Okay, we came up with asolution for this.
Yes, yep.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
We're calling in a lifeline.
Yep, you guys have heard ustalk about this topic.
Before you've got we have these.
We amy calls them lifelines.
Um, you've got these experts inyour circle that you know that
if you have a question aboutsomething specific, you know
exactly who to go to.
Who are we going to go to today, amy, we're going to my sister
(03:04):
Ann.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yay, Ann, yes, let's bring her out.
Bring her in Bringing her, inBringing her out, bringing her
in.
Hi Hello.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Ann.
Hey, how are you?
We're good, great Good.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So Ann's here to help us, because this is ann and her
husband steve thing.
This is their thing.
You guys watch a lot of movies,but talk to us about your oscar
prep.
When did this start?
How did you get you know?
How did you decide this wasgoing to be on your agenda of
(03:43):
things to do?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
so in 2021, uh, a couple of days before the oscars
, we realized we could streamall of the movies.
So, uh, we decided on thefriday night, uh, the all day,
saturday, and the entire Sundaybefore the show we were going to
(04:08):
watch all of the movies that wehad not gone to a movie theater
or already seen.
So this year was the fifth yearthat we have, either, well,
pretty much just checked off anythat we haven't seen by
streaming them.
And this year we have plans onFriday nights and on Saturday
(04:30):
afternoon, so we had to startearlier in the week, but
normally we we won't take anyplans with anybody on the two or
three days prior so that we canwatch them and then consider
what it is that we would, whatwe think is going to win, and
what one that we would want towin both of those.
So I I have to just say I'mkind of regretting that I put
(04:53):
this on my instagram, becausenow I'm an expert of it.
Well, we're glad that you did,but I did watch all but one okay
, which which one did you notwatch?
I watched, we did not watch.
I'm Still here.
That's the one that did notcome to the movie theater in our
(05:13):
area, okay, and also was notavailable to stream before
Sunday night.
Okay, it was like a pre-orderon one of the, and I tried as
hard as I could to figure outwhere it was, where, where we
could access it, but we could.
So I saw nine of the ten okay,oh my gosh, yeah, wow okay, so.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
so a Nora was the big winner of the night, all right,
so let's talk about that one.
None of us saw that one.
So one of the things that Ialways think about when I'm
watching these award shows isare there specific criteria?
And, anne, I don't expect youto know this.
(06:02):
I don't know how the Academyactually what the criteria are
and how they make the decision,but when you watch movies like
this and question for Stacey andAmy too, what is it that makes
you move that movie to the topof the list and say that is the
best of the best.
(06:23):
What are the qualities?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
they.
They seem to all be prettyoriginal ideas, in my opinion,
something new and different thathasn't been done.
You know what I mean.
Okay, um, I'm sure that's not acriteria, but that's what they
seem like.
A lot of them seem to be veryartsy too, you know.
(06:52):
Maybe not as much of I don'tknow.
You know entertainment valuemaybe?
Or action?
You know the types that are,you know, more popular?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
yeah.
So less, less commercial andmore, um, I don't know what, art
house.
Yeah, I don't know, none ofthese are really art house, I
don't know that that's the rightterm for them, but, um, you
know, wicked would be commercial.
Yes, and then the other end II'm Still here, which nobody can
(07:26):
find.
Yeah, so somewhere on thatthing I did not watch Enora, but
the girl who won for that wasin my favorite series that I
gave out as a shout out to watchBetter Things.
I love that actress she was theoldest daughter.
Love that actress in that, inthat other series that I was
(07:47):
saying that everybody shouldwatch, that I really enjoyed.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Okay, so give us the scoop and yeah, yeah, I'll play
that in just a second, but whatI think is that some of the way
that the movies rise to the topin terms of how the academy
works, vote for them, is I thinkthat they um, so I think these
(08:11):
movies are are like politicallytrying to get, get nominated, so
they have these campaigns right, they want everyone to know
about it.
That's a voting member, but Ithink that the voting members
maybe um rank 10 movies thatthey think are the 10 um movies
that should be nominated forbest picture, and then all of
(08:31):
those are put together to todetermine what are the official
10.
That's what I think is how they, how they do it, and and you
guys remember that it was um, Ithink it was like around 2010 or
2009 that it went from fivebest picture nominations to ten.
(08:52):
So um, it's a lot.
It's a lot and it's a bigwidespread now, like what you're
talking about.
So, um, like dune two is thatwas like a blockbuster.
Wicked would be a blockbuster,but some of would be a
blockbuster, but some of themlike I'm Still here, I think was
actually nominated in theforeign language category too.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I'm not sure, but I was thinking maybe that was true
.
I don't remember that on Sundaynight Because I didn't see it.
I was a little less.
It wasn't on my mind, I wasn'tthinking about where it was
fitting into the whole evening.
Okay, so, anora, have you readnothing about Anora?
You have not heard anycommentary that's going on or
(09:34):
anything before it.
Are you really not?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well, one of the big things is that I think a lot of
people were surprised that shewon best actress over demi moore
, because demi moore has won allthe other awards.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You know, like the, I don't, I don't know yeah, um,
and I watch all of those showstoo.
I don't know what my problem is, but I'm just kind of into it,
um.
So, anora, when we watch westreamed that, we streamed that
at our house, that was one wewatched here and um, so.
(10:10):
So half of it is a little bitof a familiar story to you,
which is that a stripper with,in the case of this movie, a sex
worker, um, the the business isa strip club that she works at,
and um that she is asked tospend more time with the
(10:31):
customer, uh, after you know,initially meeting him on the job
, and she is paid to spend anextended period of time with him
, and he's a woman, vibe, yeah,so, but I just want to clarify
it.
They are.
This was a.
This was a pretty explicit and,um, somewhat shocking first
half of the movie.
(10:51):
Both my husband and I were likewell, this would be awkward at
a movie theater because it was alot of nudity, uh, a lot of, I
mean it.
Just it was.
It was the business of, of whather is, and she was very good
at it.
So she ends up, she meets aRussian oligarch son, and he is
(11:15):
21 years old and he is spendingone more week in the United
States before he has to go hometo Russia to work for dad in his
big company and and he thinkshe wants to have fun and and she
is game.
She's going to pay her a lot ofmoney to be, you know, to run
around and and, you know, have asocial life that whole week and
(11:38):
she's with all of his friendsand it's great fun and so forth.
And then in the middle of themovie it turns into a and it
gets very dark and um, it's uhkind of has a mob sort of
feeling to it.
The second half of the moviewhen when the family finds out
um, I don't know how much of ityou want me to spoil.
(11:58):
Should I spoil it?
They do you want to know or not, like do you want to know what
happens in the middle?
That turns things, or do younot want to know?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I kind of don't want to know.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I think I want to watch it now.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Because the sex worker.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Oligarch really pulled you in.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Wow, here's why it's nice for you If you had a child
living at your house, even anadult one.
I'm not sure how comfortableyou would be with the explicit
nature of the first half of themovie.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
okay, yeah, good to know so she was pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Um I I didn't remember that she was in another
show, uh, and found that outlater.
But listening to her at heracceptance speech, I I thought,
yep, she really was acting andshe really did do a great job
with that character Cool.
I would not this.
I would never have picked that.
(12:55):
This was going to win, though.
And another thing that I kind ofas I was kind of being shocked
by this, something that theysaid that night but then also I
kind of became more aware of isthat this was a I think they
said like $6 million budget and40 people, so in many ways just
(13:19):
a stark contrast to somethinglike Wicked and probably the
amount of money and the numberof people that worked on that
movie, and so this was kind ofan independent film.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And you say you would not have picked it, you
wouldn't have guessed it wouldwin.
No, would you have guessed thatshe won for Best Actress?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
No, Not necessarily.
Yeah, I thought that it wouldgo to Demi Moore just because
all the other awards were goingto her.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
She was pretty remarkable in the role.
So part of the story feltfamiliar to me because it had
those parallels to sort of likea pretty woman kind of thing and
it is a dark romantic comedy.
But it's dark and it definitelyhas a little comedy but it's
dark and it definitely has alittle more violent of a second
half and the beginning was quiteexplicit Okay.
(14:19):
We know what kind of movie Kittylikes, so there we go.
You should watch it.
I think that it's um that.
I think you would.
I think it's worth watching,yeah okay, okay, good, thank you
.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So just as a note, some past movies that won best
picture, best academy award thegodfather, godfather 2, tit
Schindler's List, forrest Gump,lord of the Rings, the English
Patient I loved the EnglishPatient, I did too Braveheart, I
(14:55):
cannot watch that movie.
Okay, all right, wonderful.
And that one took a total offive awards Best Director,
original Screenplay, editing andBest Picture and Actress.
Actress yeah, wow, okay, allright.
(15:17):
Let's talk a little bit aboutthe brutalist thoughts on this
one.
And so the brutalist, uh,adrian brody for best actor.
I was a little, I was a littleturned off by his acceptance
speech yeah, I felt like it wasa little long.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
And, um, yeah, I felt like it was a little long and
he didn't really get to thepoint.
Yeah, you know, he kind of justindulged in being able to tell
the orchestra to give him moretime, right?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So the music started to play and he said no, no, no,
no, no, Turn the music off.
I'm not done yet.
I've been here before.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, oh, like so, yeah, yeah, oh, so yeah, yeah,
right.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Right.
So we watched the Berger Listat home too.
We streamed that.
That is a three-hour movie.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Oh, that's got to be an at-home movie so you can stop
and go to the bathroom andthrow the laundry in.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Yeah, Wow, to me it was a much more typical oscar
best picture nomination.
This also, I think, is adirector who did not go to a
film school, who just kind ofgrew up um learning about the
industry.
Or maybe he's a child ofsomeone who worked in the
industry, I can't quite remember, but that was kind of an
(16:35):
interesting story.
So adrian brody is a hungarianjewish man who has survived the
holocaust.
He is now living in new york,or actually maybe it was
pennsylvania.
It might have been, since itwas in the east, it was on the
east coast, but it might havebeen pennsylvania.
I knew he's just struggling.
He's an architect, and asuccessful architect.
(16:57):
Before um the holocaust he wastrained at.
This character uh, lazaro toss,I think is the name of the
character was trained at likethe um ba house school of um I
don't know if it was art or whatit was, but as an architect.
And so he has to kind ofscramble to try and find some
(17:20):
work and he ends up designing alibrary.
A son of a very wealthy man hasasked him and someone else on a
construction team he's doingconstruction work if they would
come and redesign this libraryin the father's beautiful
mansion.
But the father doesn't knowthat they're gonna do it and
(17:42):
designs it.
It is absolutely gorgeous, kindof it's brutalist, I guess, is
a kind of architecture, so alocal like.
An example of that that Kittyand Amy might know is the St
John's Abbey at St John'sUniversity.
That is a brutalistic style.
(18:03):
Ok, so it's kind of mid-centurymodern a little bit, but it's
also very harsh and so forth.
He designs this and then thefather comes home and he is so
angry and he doesn't appreciateit at all.
He just says I'm not going topay you and he rips them off one
side and down the other andthen months and months later he
(18:24):
comes to find out who designedthis for him and what a
reputation he had from beforethe holocaust, and and the
buildings are still standingthere.
I mean it's a really interestingstory.
You just have to have a lot oftime on your hands and patience
and because it is an immigrationstory and people who have lived
(18:44):
through the Holocaust, it's nota light movie at all.
But to me it seemed like it wasdesigned to win a Best Picture
and it just fell short in somesort of way.
I don't know.
I thought it was reallyinteresting and I was kind of
fascinated by the history of it.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, which movie would you have picked to win?
Which did you like the best?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
So which one I liked the best and which one I thought
it was gonna win would bedifferent.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
But what did?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I think was going to win.
I thought Conclave would win.
That seemed like a heavy hitter.
Isabella Rossellini, ralphFiennes or Raffaele Fiennes,
however you say his name.
Ray Fiennes, john Liskeau,stanley Tucci I mean
unbelievable actors, a familiarbut sort of mysterious setting
(19:38):
and a twist at the end that likeso and I won't tell you that.
But I thought that that one hadeverything that it kind of
needed to win.
It win like a typical oscar andI enjoyed it.
It was interesting to me.
Um, that was not the one that Inecessarily enjoyed the most
out of all 10.
(19:58):
What did you enjoy the most?
Probably Wicked, and I went tothe movie theater to see Wicked,
but I'm a big fan of theBroadway show and love Cynthia
Erivo and thought that you know,as someone who was a big fan of
the Broadway show, that itdidn't disappoint, other than it
(20:21):
is part one of the story.
So you have to wait until nextNovember to see part two.
So that was a little bit of abummer, but in turn, you know it
, just it was.
It made me very happy and Ienjoyed it.
It was very fun, but I didn'tnecessarily think that it was
even a movie that you wouldnominate for a best picture.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I mean what do.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I know I'm not trying to like hit people off, it was.
It was really done well and apretty amazing production.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Did that win anything ?
Yeah, I think they might've woncostume.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Costume design yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Cool yeah, cool yeah yeah.
And did any of you feel like?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Me, I did not.
No, amy did not, I did, I wentto it.
So Bo and I went to see it inNew York many years ago and then
, when it was coming out, I saidto Bill and Bo, I think the day
after Christmas we went to themovie and I just said, you know,
we're going, basically, and soof course I look over and Bo's
(21:30):
sleeping and you know, and Billtrudged his way through it.
But because musicals justaren't their thing I love
musicals and I knew that, I knewthat I was going to love it
because I saw it on stage but Iremember getting to the end and
thinking we are only halfwaythrough this movie right now.
And then, because I'm thinkingthese guys aren't going to make
(21:53):
it, but then it said you know,part two coming.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah, somehow I missed.
Guys aren't going to make it,um.
But then it said you know, parttwo coming.
Yeah, yeah, somehow I missed.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I missed that that was how they were filming, that,
that it was going to be in twoparts so, yeah, and I I could be
wrong on this, but I don'tthink, I don't think we knew
until people started going tothe movie to see the movie.
I don't think people knew.
I don't remember who said this.
(22:25):
It was somebody who wasaccepting an award and again it
was from one of the independentfilms, a smaller entity, and he
just very eloquently made a pleafor take your kids to the movie
theater.
Do you remember this, ann?
I do um, and he.
It was really really well done.
(22:46):
And it's so true that becausebill and I have commented before
too it's like nobody goes tomovies anymore.
We can, and even you so many ofthese movies you could stream
before the awards that it makesme wonder one how movie theaters
are even making it.
But you know in general what'sgoing to happen to the movie
(23:08):
making industry.
And he just made this plea fortake your kids to the movie
theater.
We stream everything.
There's something beautiful andwholesome and family about
going to a movie theater andsitting down in a seat with a
bucket of popcorn and watching amovie.
(23:29):
I mean, the four of us knowwhat that was when we were
younger.
So I was glad that that messagewas put out out there, and I
hope that more people do that.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Um, so what other movies need talking about?
What other ones were surprisedto you, Anne, or were like eh,
not for me.
Oh, Emilio, Amelia Perez,that's the one I saw.
I did see that.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Amelia Perez.
Amelia Perez, that's the one Isaw.
I did see that Only because,well, it was free to stream, so
I did watch it.
But I was interested in thefact that and I can't remember
her name Sophia, something,something was nominated for Best
(24:17):
Actress actress, and she'strans woman, I believe.
So there was a little scuttlewith that, that you know.
Back to the whole, you know, dowe, let you know, biological
men be mixed in with women,right?
So that was the gist of that,mixed in with women, right?
So that was the gist of that.
(24:38):
So the actual movie I wasentertained.
I mean, what did you think,anne?
You know it's different.
It's a musical, you know, basedwithin a what did they call it?
Cartel background, but amusical.
So that was interesting.
(25:03):
Um, but it was, it was okay.
Like I, I always tell people ifI stay awake through a whole
movie, then I was entertained.
You know a lot of stuff, likeDune, for instance, I fell
asleep in the middle you know,so I don't know, would you so?
Speaker 5 (25:18):
right.
So we, we turned on.
This is the danger of streamingmovies at home.
Right, you've got your phone inyour hands or you've got your
computer, your laptop on yourlap and you're you're
multitasking.
You know there's jokes aboutthat.
People always say, well, youwant netflix to show you a movie
that you can look at your phonewhile you're watching the movie
(25:40):
.
Right, what's that category?
And so the movie started andit's predominantly in Spanish
and it is a musical.
So we had the closed caption onand we looked at each other and
we're like wait is this all inSpanish and we were like, oh,
not really.
We had to put down our devicesand look at the TV the whole
time.
So we jump, we pause it and wego to the assistive technology
(26:06):
that exists, which is reallygreat.
We flip to what is calledEnglish audio, which then
overdubs the Spanish in Englishfor you, but I think it might be
designed for someone who's likea viewer that is visually
impaired.
So, in addition to the dubbingit in English, you also hear
(26:28):
that Rita walks across the room.
Oh, we were like, okay, well,that's not going to work either.
So we made it about 20 minutesinto this movie and we were like
we're going to give up.
Like we can't look at ourphones, we've got to stare at
the screen, we've got to readthe lines, and so I wonder if
(26:52):
you know, like I said, this iswhat I think is the negative
part.
So the good part about beingable to stream at home is when
you live in a rural area.
Like I said, this is what Ithink is the negative part.
So the good part about beingable to stream at home is when
you live in a rural area, like Ido.
We have one movie theater with.
There's a couple of movietheaters around us, but really
blockbusters are what come toour movie theater.
You don't get these other moviesand so this way you can see
(27:14):
them.
But then the bad part of thatis less business for the movie
theater, less going to the movietheater, more used to being at
home sitting on your phone, on,you know, in your pajamas, on
the couch, and so it also issometimes hard to pay attention
because you're folding laundryor you're pausing it for this or
you know all these things.
So I I think at some point Imight go back and revisit this
(27:37):
show, but in terms of us beingable to power through before the
weekend, we were like hittingsome different brick walls that
we were like we're just going tohave to let it go.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
You know, yeah, yeah, you really have to read the
read the subtitles.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
But I think the premise is interesting.
So so, from what I understand,Zoe Saldana, who the um best
supporting actress yes a lawyerand she's asked by a drug cartel
boss to help her fake her death.
And then this this man has beentransitioning to become a woman
(28:13):
for.
But so she wants to die as theman cartel boss and then wants
to live the rest of her life asa woman.
So I think the musical is setaround.
So I mean, it's a musical ofthat.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Which, to me, that's the strange part about it,
because it's a musical, like Isaid, like you've said, set in a
cartel setting with you know.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Okay, did I say Zoe Daldana.
Yep Going on.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Right, she's a lawyer .
Sorry, I should have said hercharacter is a lawyer that's
being asked to help facilitatethis, yep, sorry.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Okay, and oh, selena Gomez was in it.
I liked her character.
I'm surprised she wasn'tnominated for a supporting
actress.
Honestly, too, I mean, Ithought she did.
You know, I liked her character, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
So yeah, it was interesting, for sure.
So I think she was nominated fora Golden Globe or a SAG.
So I think she was recognizedin this award season in some way
.
So I think she was recognizedin this award season in some way
and I think it was a GoldenGlobe because I think she
actually, well, only Murders inthe Building, which she is on
(29:28):
that series, ended up getting anaward that night.
So I think she was nominated ina movie.
She was nominated as part ofthat show, so I kind of remember
that.
But I didn't watch enough ofthis movie to be able to weigh
in on too much about it.
But again I might go back andwatch it a different time.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Did any of you go to A Complete Unknown, which was
the Timothée Chalamet Bob Dylanmovie?
Speaker 4 (29:58):
No, I still want to see that.
What did you think of thatmovie?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, so I went to the movie theater, so Wicked and
A Complete Unknown are the twothat we went to the movie
theater to see.
Steve went to Dune 2 with oneof our sons.
I didn't go along, but hewatched the stream of it with me
and I had seen Dune 1.
I, I didn't go along but hewatched the stream of it with me
.
So, and I had seen dune one.
I just didn't go around the daythey went um a complete unknown
(30:23):
.
Uh, I went into that movie andI've never really liked bob
dylan all that much.
I respected him and there are afew songs of his that I like,
but overall I didn't, didn't gointo it like, oh, I love Bob
Dylan, I mean it's cool thatthere's a tie to Hibbing and a
tie to Minnesota.
But I left that movie likinghim a lot more and feeling more
(30:48):
informed about what was going onin music at that time in the
country and what was going onwith kind of his, what he
started out doing and how hewanted to evolve and how much
the first group that kind ofwelcomed him and that he had
success with, which was like afolk kind of genre, that they
(31:08):
were kind of disappointed thathe was changing.
But he also was really young.
I mean this was like the firstfour years of his career from
being not known at all to him,kind of pivoting out of that
folk music.
So I left there thinking, oh, Ilike him a lot more and I'm
(31:28):
kind of neither here nor there.
I mean, timothee Chalamet is sotalented but he disappeared into
Bob Dylan.
To me it was really remarkable.
And I think he spent many, manyyears preparing, because I
think there was a COVIDinterruption and so I think he
was preparing and they weregoing to do it before, and then
(31:49):
the shutdowns and everything,and then it took a long time for
them, which meant he had that,that material and that character
to kind of work on it for along time.
So I thought he was reallyamazing and I think he won, you
know, a golden globe or a stag.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
so I kind of wondered if he would win for best actor
but can we talk about somethingvery trivial about timothy
chalamet?
What was with the butter suit?
Was he sponsored by like land?
I don't understand what thatoutfit was Did it have any
bearing on Bob Dylan and themovie.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
No, I don't think so.
I think he just has a reallyfun in his mind, a very fun
sense of style or his stylistdoes and he's brave to just go
for it and wear somethingdifferent.
Um, I really think, have any ofyou seen substance?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
that's the one that jimmy moore was in no, because
that seems really scary and ickyto me tell us what the premise
is of the movie?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
so she is is like a Jane Fonda aerobics television
show star.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
And she is her Demi.
Moore, demi Moore's character,yeah, sorry.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
So she's had a lot of success, you know, doing like
an aerobics type show that, likeyou know, like let's Get
Physical, or like Jane Fonda,her aerobics type show that,
like you know, like let's getphysical, or like Jane Fonda,
her aerobics things, right.
So she and she, the production,whoever produces this show,
whoever owns the show, she'sthey, she's tools, and they want
(33:32):
to push her out.
She's 60.
And they want, they're, they'repushing her out, yeah, and they
want to hire someone very youngto replace her.
And she, over here, you know,she's very self-conscious about
the fact that she's made them alot of money and and now she
knows that this is what theywant to do.
And she comes across anadvertisement for a substance
(33:57):
that you can get that and I'mnot sure that she completely
understands what it is.
But she decides to order thissubstance and picks it up, and
so when you inject it intoyourself, then a younger self or
younger being, um, you shareyour life with this person.
(34:21):
So every seven days, the youthat you are is functioning and
living your life.
And then, in seven days, thenthis younger person who is not
the it's, it's not the younger,I thought maybe, and I wonder if
she thought maybe it was gonnabe her younger self.
But it's Margaret Tully.
(34:43):
It's a completely differentperson.
Well, it just so happens thatthat younger self goes and gets
the job to host the show, and sothere it's, this substance.
It's borderline horror-like.
Have you ever seen Black Mirrorlike a Black Mirror?
Uh, it's a series called blackmirror.
(35:04):
Well, it's a little bit outthere, and this movie a little
bit like that, where you likewhat happened.
So there there are some issuesthat arise, but it is a little
bit of a commentary on justwomen and beauty and, you know,
being too old or pushed out ofthe way to some degree.
(35:26):
But it gets kind of gross atthe end.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I had heard that and also I love Margaret Qualley.
She is Andy what's-her-name'sdaughter.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Yeah, andy McDowell.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Andy McDowell's daughter and she was in a movie
the Maid and that's so good.
With Andy McDowell that's areally good movie.
So I like Margaret Qualley, butI had heard that it was horror
and that it was a littleshocking because horror movies
don't get nominated for BestOscar Right.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Yeah, and it's not your typical horror movie.
I think the description is thatit is.
Some of the stuff is borderlinesci-fi weird that's occurring.
So there's no jump scares.
It's not like that kind of ahorror movie.
It's a little mind-bending.
There are some, you know, alittle bit of gore to it, but
(36:27):
that wasve's least favoritemovie oh and I thought it was
kind of fascinating.
But I also was like I can't lookat this scene because it was
too like something kind of grosswas happening, or so it was
interesting, so that that's aninteresting um thing that you
bring up Steve's favoritesversus your favorites.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yeah, what movies did Steve really like or think that
were going to win, and whatmovies did you really like?
Did you guys have opposingviews on anything?
Speaker 5 (36:59):
No, Well, I didn't think the Substance was the
worst movie, and this happenedlast year too.
Do you remember the one withFrancis McDormand?
It was called Nomad maybe.
Yeah, he did not like that atall.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Oh really.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
And I really enjoyed that movie.
That was like an example.
And so Substance was on thebottom of his list.
It wasn't necessarily on thebottom of my list, but he really
liked a complete unknown and hethought that a complete unknown
would win.
So the one that he would haveawarded and the one he thought
was going to win was the samemovie, a complete unknown, where
(37:40):
I in I really enjoyed um wicked.
I didn't necessarily think itwould win, like if I got to just
pick which one I like the bestpersonally, for me I might, I
would say that but I thoughtthat conclave would um win the
award and I enjoyed conclave.
It wasn't.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
There wasn't a weird you know thing for me about it
so so the only movie that Iwatched we haven't talked about,
and that is A Real Pain isn'tthat what?
that was called, with KieranCulkin and, um, jesse Eisenberg,
is that right?
Yeah, yeah, um, I did watchthat and you know I I premised
(38:24):
certain oh, I think it was inthe episode where we were
talking about reality TV.
I don't do awkward well, andKieran Culkin's character in
that movie was so freakingawkward and damn annoying.
At least you know that Ipowered through and I watched
(38:44):
the whole thing and I didactually really like the movie.
I thought that was good.
Not that I thought it was goingto be an Oscar winner, but
anybody else who else saw that?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah, I saw that one as well.
I was a little bit surprisedthat it was nominated.
Bit surprised that it was.
That it was nominated um,because and I think this is what
got me thinking about what arethe qualities that make these
(39:17):
things best picture um worthy,yeah, and I mean I enjoyed it um
well, so just to know that onewas not a best picture
nomination.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Tyrion Culkin was nominated for Best Actor and won
right Best Supporting,Supporting.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
So, yeah, I thought it was a good movie.
I enjoyed it.
I agreed the awkward.
It's one of those movies thatyou just have to keep watching
because you need or you'rehopeful for a happy ending on it
.
So it's fun to see him have arole like that.
(40:01):
I haven't seen a lot of whathe's done recently.
I still think of him as theyounger actor that he was and
always assumed that he would bein the shadow of his older
brother, but what a great careerhe's turning out to have.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
What was the?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
really popular series a couple years ago.
He was in that and I reallyliked him in that.
I can't think of the name.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Yeah, succession, that's what I was just going to
ask if any of you watched him inSuccession.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yep, that was good.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
I did not.
He is very unlikable inSuccession.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
As is everyone in the entire show.
Oh, everybody is unlikable.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
We watched it all, but we regularly said there's
not one person amongst them thatreally seems to have a good
quality.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
No, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Of the nine movies.
We've talked about some of them.
What's your recommendation,anne, and what are the ones that
people should?
If you're going to go out ofyour comfort zone or your, what
should people watch?
Oh, wow, uh.
(41:23):
Well, what's worth three hoursof time?
Speaker 5 (41:30):
I feel like that.
I mean Onora won.
I feel like you should probablywatch it and find out what you
think about the fact that it wonAgain.
just a fair warning Maybe notwith any of your children around
(41:51):
while you, while you're therethere, how about that?
Uh, I, I just think it'sinteresting it won and, um, I I
was looking at my you know phoneat some point today and it was
a pretty long back and forthgoing on in many um threads.
Uh, you know, going on in manythreads, you know comments to
somebody's post about beingconfused about it winning and
(42:13):
there seem to be real polarizingand opposing views about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
So that would be a good one to watch.
Well, I will tell you that,just listening to you, just give
those little synopsis, thelittle synopsis of each of those
.
There are quite a few of themthat I think I will want to
watch over the next few weeks,and I am glad that we can stream
them, but I love going to themovie theater to watch them.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
so um, do you think, kitty, though, you're going to
stay awake, because the runningjoke is that Kitty does usually
fall asleep?
Speaker 2 (42:56):
yeah, at the movie theater, at the theater, not
just at home, only at home.
I don't fall asleep at thetheater because I am eating the
gigantic bucket yes we need toknow it, is there butter in
there or no butter in there?
Speaker 5 (43:14):
Oh, always butter or mine must know topping, quit
calling it.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
I can't have that.
No, that's so not for me.
It's a better flavor topping.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
One more question for you guys about streaming a
movie at home.
Are you able to pause the movieand say we'll finish it
tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (43:42):
No.
Speaker 5 (43:43):
That's like two camps of people.
No, I can, I can, yeah, no,that's like two camps of people.
I can, yeah, no, Yep.
So we we both my husband and Iare totally fine with pausing
the movie and saying we're goingto pick this up tomorrow.
And that makes it easier tostream nine movies, yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Probably yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Or in like some years , we've seen one in the movie
theater and yeah, so I did notrealize that this was the
weekend of Oscars project foryou.
I thought that you had it kindof sparsed out, parsed out,
parsed out, that I didn'trealize it was a binge fest that
(44:25):
you did the weekend of theOscars.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Okay, well, a lot, we know who we're calling.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Yeah, I just think you should just join in.
I mean, do it.
You could do it for the.
You could just look and seewhich ones did we go to already
and then you could just do one anight.
You know, you don't have to doit.
We find ourselves going oh it'sSunday night, we should get
these movies done.
So it wasn't necessarily whatwe wanted to binge for Friday
(44:58):
night all day, saturday andSunday.
We just you know it movesaround, it doesn't seem to
always be on the exact samedate- but it is always within a
fairly short amount of time,right?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's a very cool idea.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
That's a shot, that's a shot, yep.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Anne's like what?
Speaker 5 (45:28):
I don't know what that was, but yes, yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
Suggestions for people should do Suggestions.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Yes, Anne, this has been so great.
Thank you for your expertise.
Thank you for being thelifeline on Oscar movies.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
Yeah, I do, I do have .
I do have a shot.
All right, what's your shot?
Okay, well, you know all thethings that don't make the Oscar
show.
You know they.
There's other categories thatthey just announced, you know,
and nobody's maybe not evenpicking up their award or
whatever.
Well, did you know?
(46:10):
We won an Oscar.
We won best podcast.
Three cocktails in won bestaudio podcast.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Did we know it could have been audio, because I
freeze all the time.
Speaker 4 (46:26):
Well, audio works.
It's video.
We didn't win video.
No, we won audio, not video.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
I would like to know why we weren't allowed to go
with you to accept the award.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
Well, they mailed it.
It went so far down in the listthat they just mailed it.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
They didn't have time yes, that is fitting, because
we on occasion mail things intoo yes, we do we do we do quite
often this one, this one, wedid not mail in no fabulous.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Thank you and you, yes, we.
Perhaps we'll have you back.
Are there other areas ofexpertise that you can share
with us?
Speaker 5 (47:08):
No, I am not the expert of anything, ever again.

Yeah it is yeah that is, I changed out of my pajamas
and put on something appropriatefor our topic tonight.
You're very sparkly.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You are very sparkly today.
Yeah, tonight we have a fun,fun, fun topic to talk about.
Tonight we are.
So it's March and one of theiconic things that happens in
March, in addition to all of thebasketball, is the Oscars,
oscars or the Oscars.
(02:01):
So and this is one of thosethings that I remember in years
past, I would make sure I wouldcatch every single movie.
I couldn't wait for the Oscars.
I would, you know, want towatch it from a production
standpoint, the outfits and whois there and all of that.
And I did watch it.
(02:22):
I did watch it on Sunday night,but I have I am embarrassed to
say that I've only seen two ofthe Oscar winning movies.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You got me beat.
I saw one.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You've seen two One of the.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I think it did win an award, but I saw one.
Okay, we came up with asolution for this.
Yes, yep.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
We're calling in a lifeline.
Yep, you guys have heard ustalk about this topic.
Before you've got we have these.
We amy calls them lifelines.
Um, you've got these experts inyour circle that you know that
if you have a question aboutsomething specific, you know
exactly who to go to.
Who are we going to go to today, amy, we're going to my sister
(03:04):
Ann.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yay, Ann, yes, let's bring her out.
Bring her in Bringing her, inBringing her out, bringing her
in.
Hi Hello.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Ann.
Hey, how are you?
We're good, great Good.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So Ann's here to help us, because this is ann and her
husband steve thing.
This is their thing.
You guys watch a lot of movies,but talk to us about your oscar
prep.
When did this start?
How did you get you know?
How did you decide this wasgoing to be on your agenda of
(03:43):
things to do?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
so in 2021, uh, a couple of days before the oscars
, we realized we could streamall of the movies.
So, uh, we decided on thefriday night, uh, the all day,
saturday, and the entire Sundaybefore the show we were going to
(04:08):
watch all of the movies that wehad not gone to a movie theater
or already seen.
So this year was the fifth yearthat we have, either, well,
pretty much just checked off anythat we haven't seen by
streaming them.
And this year we have plans onFriday nights and on Saturday
(04:30):
afternoon, so we had to startearlier in the week, but
normally we we won't take anyplans with anybody on the two or
three days prior so that we canwatch them and then consider
what it is that we would, whatwe think is going to win, and
what one that we would want towin both of those.
So I I have to just say I'mkind of regretting that I put
(04:53):
this on my instagram, becausenow I'm an expert of it.
Well, we're glad that you did,but I did watch all but one okay
, which which one did you notwatch?
I watched, we did not watch.
I'm Still here.
That's the one that did notcome to the movie theater in our
(05:13):
area, okay, and also was notavailable to stream before
Sunday night.
Okay, it was like a pre-orderon one of the, and I tried as
hard as I could to figure outwhere it was, where, where we
could access it, but we could.
So I saw nine of the ten okay,oh my gosh, yeah, wow okay, so.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
so a Nora was the big winner of the night, all right,
so let's talk about that one.
None of us saw that one.
So one of the things that Ialways think about when I'm
watching these award shows isare there specific criteria?
And, anne, I don't expect youto know this.
(06:02):
I don't know how the Academyactually what the criteria are
and how they make the decision,but when you watch movies like
this and question for Stacey andAmy too, what is it that makes
you move that movie to the topof the list and say that is the
best of the best.
(06:23):
What are the qualities?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
they.
They seem to all be prettyoriginal ideas, in my opinion,
something new and different thathasn't been done.
You know what I mean.
Okay, um, I'm sure that's not acriteria, but that's what they
seem like.
A lot of them seem to be veryartsy too, you know.
(06:52):
Maybe not as much of I don'tknow.
You know entertainment valuemaybe?
Or action?
You know the types that are,you know, more popular?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
yeah.
So less, less commercial andmore, um, I don't know what, art
house.
Yeah, I don't know, none ofthese are really art house, I
don't know that that's the rightterm for them, but, um, you
know, wicked would be commercial.
Yes, and then the other end II'm Still here, which nobody can
(07:26):
find.
Yeah, so somewhere on thatthing I did not watch Enora, but
the girl who won for that wasin my favorite series that I
gave out as a shout out to watchBetter Things.
I love that actress she was theoldest daughter.
Love that actress in that, inthat other series that I was
(07:47):
saying that everybody shouldwatch, that I really enjoyed.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Okay, so give us the scoop and yeah, yeah, I'll play
that in just a second, but whatI think is that some of the way
that the movies rise to the topin terms of how the academy
works, vote for them, is I thinkthat they um, so I think these
(08:11):
movies are are like politicallytrying to get, get nominated, so
they have these campaigns right, they want everyone to know
about it.
That's a voting member, but Ithink that the voting members
maybe um rank 10 movies thatthey think are the 10 um movies
that should be nominated forbest picture, and then all of
(08:31):
those are put together to todetermine what are the official
10.
That's what I think is how they, how they do it, and and you
guys remember that it was um, Ithink it was like around 2010 or
2009 that it went from fivebest picture nominations to ten.
(08:52):
So um, it's a lot.
It's a lot and it's a bigwidespread now, like what you're
talking about.
So, um, like dune two is thatwas like a blockbuster.
Wicked would be a blockbuster,but some of would be a
blockbuster, but some of themlike I'm Still here, I think was
actually nominated in theforeign language category too.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I'm not sure, but I was thinking maybe that was true
.
I don't remember that on Sundaynight Because I didn't see it.
I was a little less.
It wasn't on my mind, I wasn'tthinking about where it was
fitting into the whole evening.
Okay, so, anora, have you readnothing about Anora?
You have not heard anycommentary that's going on or
(09:34):
anything before it.
Are you really not?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well, one of the big things is that I think a lot of
people were surprised that shewon best actress over demi moore
, because demi moore has won allthe other awards.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You know, like the, I don't, I don't know yeah, um,
and I watch all of those showstoo.
I don't know what my problem is, but I'm just kind of into it,
um.
So, anora, when we watch westreamed that, we streamed that
at our house, that was one wewatched here and um, so.
(10:10):
So half of it is a little bitof a familiar story to you,
which is that a stripper with,in the case of this movie, a sex
worker, um, the the business isa strip club that she works at,
and um that she is asked tospend more time with the
(10:31):
customer, uh, after you know,initially meeting him on the job
, and she is paid to spend anextended period of time with him
, and he's a woman, vibe, yeah,so, but I just want to clarify
it.
They are.
This was a.
This was a pretty explicit and,um, somewhat shocking first
half of the movie.
(10:51):
Both my husband and I were likewell, this would be awkward at
a movie theater because it was alot of nudity, uh, a lot of, I
mean it.
Just it was.
It was the business of, of whather is, and she was very good
at it.
So she ends up, she meets aRussian oligarch son, and he is
(11:15):
21 years old and he is spendingone more week in the United
States before he has to go hometo Russia to work for dad in his
big company and and he thinkshe wants to have fun and and she
is game.
She's going to pay her a lot ofmoney to be, you know, to run
around and and, you know, have asocial life that whole week and
(11:38):
she's with all of his friendsand it's great fun and so forth.
And then in the middle of themovie it turns into a and it
gets very dark and um, it's uhkind of has a mob sort of
feeling to it.
The second half of the moviewhen when the family finds out
um, I don't know how much of ityou want me to spoil.
(11:58):
Should I spoil it?
They do you want to know or not, like do you want to know what
happens in the middle?
That turns things, or do younot want to know?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I kind of don't want to know.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I think I want to watch it now.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Because the sex worker.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Oligarch really pulled you in.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Wow, here's why it's nice for you If you had a child
living at your house, even anadult one.
I'm not sure how comfortableyou would be with the explicit
nature of the first half of themovie.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
okay, yeah, good to know so she was pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Um I I didn't remember that she was in another
show, uh, and found that outlater.
But listening to her at heracceptance speech, I I thought,
yep, she really was acting andshe really did do a great job
with that character Cool.
I would not this.
I would never have picked that.
(12:55):
This was going to win, though.
And another thing that I kind ofas I was kind of being shocked
by this, something that theysaid that night but then also I
kind of became more aware of isthat this was a I think they
said like $6 million budget and40 people, so in many ways just
(13:19):
a stark contrast to somethinglike Wicked and probably the
amount of money and the numberof people that worked on that
movie, and so this was kind ofan independent film.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And you say you would not have picked it, you
wouldn't have guessed it wouldwin.
No, would you have guessed thatshe won for Best Actress?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
No, Not necessarily.
Yeah, I thought that it wouldgo to Demi Moore just because
all the other awards were goingto her.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
She was pretty remarkable in the role.
So part of the story feltfamiliar to me because it had
those parallels to sort of likea pretty woman kind of thing and
it is a dark romantic comedy.
But it's dark and it definitelyhas a little comedy but it's
dark and it definitely has alittle more violent of a second
half and the beginning was quiteexplicit Okay.
(14:19):
We know what kind of movie Kittylikes, so there we go.
You should watch it.
I think that it's um that.
I think you would.
I think it's worth watching,yeah okay, okay, good, thank you
.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So just as a note, some past movies that won best
picture, best academy award thegodfather, godfather 2, tit
Schindler's List, forrest Gump,lord of the Rings, the English
Patient I loved the EnglishPatient, I did too Braveheart, I
(14:55):
cannot watch that movie.
Okay, all right, wonderful.
And that one took a total offive awards Best Director,
original Screenplay, editing andBest Picture and Actress.
Actress yeah, wow, okay, allright.
(15:17):
Let's talk a little bit aboutthe brutalist thoughts on this
one.
And so the brutalist, uh,adrian brody for best actor.
I was a little, I was a littleturned off by his acceptance
speech yeah, I felt like it wasa little long.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
And, um, yeah, I felt like it was a little long and
he didn't really get to thepoint.
Yeah, you know, he kind of justindulged in being able to tell
the orchestra to give him moretime, right?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So the music started to play and he said no, no, no,
no, no, Turn the music off.
I'm not done yet.
I've been here before.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, oh, like so, yeah, yeah, oh, so yeah, yeah,
right.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Right.
So we watched the Berger Listat home too.
We streamed that.
That is a three-hour movie.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Oh, that's got to be an at-home movie so you can stop
and go to the bathroom andthrow the laundry in.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Yeah, Wow, to me it was a much more typical oscar
best picture nomination.
This also, I think, is adirector who did not go to a
film school, who just kind ofgrew up um learning about the
industry.
Or maybe he's a child ofsomeone who worked in the
industry, I can't quite remember, but that was kind of an
(16:35):
interesting story.
So adrian brody is a hungarianjewish man who has survived the
holocaust.
He is now living in new york,or actually maybe it was
pennsylvania.
It might have been, since itwas in the east, it was on the
east coast, but it might havebeen pennsylvania.
I knew he's just struggling.
He's an architect, and asuccessful architect.
(16:57):
Before um the holocaust he wastrained at.
This character uh, lazaro toss,I think is the name of the
character was trained at likethe um ba house school of um I
don't know if it was art or whatit was, but as an architect.
And so he has to kind ofscramble to try and find some
(17:20):
work and he ends up designing alibrary.
A son of a very wealthy man hasasked him and someone else on a
construction team he's doingconstruction work if they would
come and redesign this libraryin the father's beautiful
mansion.
But the father doesn't knowthat they're gonna do it and
(17:42):
designs it.
It is absolutely gorgeous, kindof it's brutalist, I guess, is
a kind of architecture, so alocal like.
An example of that that Kittyand Amy might know is the St
John's Abbey at St John'sUniversity.
That is a brutalistic style.
(18:03):
Ok, so it's kind of mid-centurymodern a little bit, but it's
also very harsh and so forth.
He designs this and then thefather comes home and he is so
angry and he doesn't appreciateit at all.
He just says I'm not going topay you and he rips them off one
side and down the other andthen months and months later he
(18:24):
comes to find out who designedthis for him and what a
reputation he had from beforethe holocaust, and and the
buildings are still standingthere.
I mean it's a really interestingstory.
You just have to have a lot oftime on your hands and patience
and because it is an immigrationstory and people who have lived
(18:44):
through the Holocaust, it's nota light movie at all.
But to me it seemed like it wasdesigned to win a Best Picture
and it just fell short in somesort of way.
I don't know.
I thought it was reallyinteresting and I was kind of
fascinated by the history of it.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, which movie would you have picked to win?
Which did you like the best?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
So which one I liked the best and which one I thought
it was gonna win would bedifferent.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
But what did?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I think was going to win.
I thought Conclave would win.
That seemed like a heavy hitter.
Isabella Rossellini, ralphFiennes or Raffaele Fiennes,
however you say his name.
Ray Fiennes, john Liskeau,stanley Tucci I mean
unbelievable actors, a familiarbut sort of mysterious setting
(19:38):
and a twist at the end that likeso and I won't tell you that.
But I thought that that one hadeverything that it kind of
needed to win.
It win like a typical oscar andI enjoyed it.
It was interesting to me.
Um, that was not the one that Inecessarily enjoyed the most
out of all 10.
(19:58):
What did you enjoy the most?
Probably Wicked, and I went tothe movie theater to see Wicked,
but I'm a big fan of theBroadway show and love Cynthia
Erivo and thought that you know,as someone who was a big fan of
the Broadway show, that itdidn't disappoint, other than it
(20:21):
is part one of the story.
So you have to wait until nextNovember to see part two.
So that was a little bit of abummer, but in turn, you know it
, just it was.
It made me very happy and Ienjoyed it.
It was very fun, but I didn'tnecessarily think that it was
even a movie that you wouldnominate for a best picture.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I mean what do.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I know I'm not trying to like hit people off, it was.
It was really done well and apretty amazing production.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Did that win anything ?
Yeah, I think they might've woncostume.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Costume design yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Cool yeah, cool yeah yeah.
And did any of you feel like?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Me, I did not.
No, amy did not, I did, I wentto it.
So Bo and I went to see it inNew York many years ago and then
, when it was coming out, I saidto Bill and Bo, I think the day
after Christmas we went to themovie and I just said, you know,
we're going, basically, and soof course I look over and Bo's
(21:30):
sleeping and you know, and Billtrudged his way through it.
But because musicals justaren't their thing I love
musicals and I knew that, I knewthat I was going to love it
because I saw it on stage but Iremember getting to the end and
thinking we are only halfwaythrough this movie right now.
And then, because I'm thinkingthese guys aren't going to make
(21:53):
it, but then it said you know,part two coming.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah, somehow I missed.
Guys aren't going to make it,um.
But then it said you know, parttwo coming.
Yeah, yeah, somehow I missed.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I missed that that was how they were filming, that,
that it was going to be in twoparts so, yeah, and I I could be
wrong on this, but I don'tthink, I don't think we knew
until people started going tothe movie to see the movie.
I don't think people knew.
I don't remember who said this.
(22:25):
It was somebody who wasaccepting an award and again it
was from one of the independentfilms, a smaller entity, and he
just very eloquently made a pleafor take your kids to the movie
theater.
Do you remember this, ann?
I do um, and he.
It was really really well done.
(22:46):
And it's so true that becausebill and I have commented before
too it's like nobody goes tomovies anymore.
We can, and even you so many ofthese movies you could stream
before the awards that it makesme wonder one how movie theaters
are even making it.
But you know in general what'sgoing to happen to the movie
(23:08):
making industry.
And he just made this plea fortake your kids to the movie
theater.
We stream everything.
There's something beautiful andwholesome and family about
going to a movie theater andsitting down in a seat with a
bucket of popcorn and watching amovie.
(23:29):
I mean, the four of us knowwhat that was when we were
younger.
So I was glad that that messagewas put out out there, and I
hope that more people do that.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Um, so what other movies need talking about?
What other ones were surprisedto you, Anne, or were like eh,
not for me.
Oh, Emilio, Amelia Perez,that's the one I saw.
I did see that.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Amelia Perez.
Amelia Perez, that's the one Isaw.
I did see that Only because,well, it was free to stream, so
I did watch it.
But I was interested in thefact that and I can't remember
her name Sophia, something,something was nominated for Best
(24:17):
Actress actress, and she'strans woman, I believe.
So there was a little scuttlewith that, that you know.
Back to the whole, you know, dowe, let you know, biological
men be mixed in with women,right?
So that was the gist of that,mixed in with women, right?
So that was the gist of that.
(24:38):
So the actual movie I wasentertained.
I mean, what did you think,anne?
You know it's different.
It's a musical, you know, basedwithin a what did they call it?
Cartel background, but amusical.
So that was interesting.
(25:03):
Um, but it was, it was okay.
Like I, I always tell people ifI stay awake through a whole
movie, then I was entertained.
You know a lot of stuff, likeDune, for instance, I fell
asleep in the middle you know,so I don't know, would you so?
Speaker 5 (25:18):
right.
So we, we turned on.
This is the danger of streamingmovies at home.
Right, you've got your phone inyour hands or you've got your
computer, your laptop on yourlap and you're you're
multitasking.
You know there's jokes aboutthat.
People always say, well, youwant netflix to show you a movie
that you can look at your phonewhile you're watching the movie
(25:40):
.
Right, what's that category?
And so the movie started andit's predominantly in Spanish
and it is a musical.
So we had the closed caption onand we looked at each other and
we're like wait is this all inSpanish and we were like, oh,
not really.
We had to put down our devicesand look at the TV the whole
time.
So we jump, we pause it and wego to the assistive technology
(26:06):
that exists, which is reallygreat.
We flip to what is calledEnglish audio, which then
overdubs the Spanish in Englishfor you, but I think it might be
designed for someone who's likea viewer that is visually
impaired.
So, in addition to the dubbingit in English, you also hear
(26:28):
that Rita walks across the room.
Oh, we were like, okay, well,that's not going to work either.
So we made it about 20 minutesinto this movie and we were like
we're going to give up.
Like we can't look at ourphones, we've got to stare at
the screen, we've got to readthe lines, and so I wonder if
(26:52):
you know, like I said, this iswhat I think is the negative
part.
So the good part about beingable to stream at home is when
you live in a rural area.
Like I said, this is what Ithink is the negative part.
So the good part about beingable to stream at home is when
you live in a rural area, like Ido.
We have one movie theater with.
There's a couple of movietheaters around us, but really
blockbusters are what come toour movie theater.
You don't get these other moviesand so this way you can see
(27:14):
them.
But then the bad part of thatis less business for the movie
theater, less going to the movietheater, more used to being at
home sitting on your phone, on,you know, in your pajamas, on
the couch, and so it also issometimes hard to pay attention
because you're folding laundryor you're pausing it for this or
you know all these things.
So I I think at some point Imight go back and revisit this
(27:37):
show, but in terms of us beingable to power through before the
weekend, we were like hittingsome different brick walls that
we were like we're just going tohave to let it go.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
You know, yeah, yeah, you really have to read the
read the subtitles.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
But I think the premise is interesting.
So so, from what I understand,Zoe Saldana, who the um best
supporting actress yes a lawyerand she's asked by a drug cartel
boss to help her fake her death.
And then this this man has beentransitioning to become a woman
(28:13):
for.
But so she wants to die as theman cartel boss and then wants
to live the rest of her life asa woman.
So I think the musical is setaround.
So I mean, it's a musical ofthat.
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Which, to me, that's the strange part about it,
because it's a musical, like Isaid, like you've said, set in a
cartel setting with you know.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Okay, did I say Zoe Daldana.
Yep Going on.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Right, she's a lawyer .
Sorry, I should have said hercharacter is a lawyer that's
being asked to help facilitatethis, yep, sorry.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Okay, and oh, selena Gomez was in it.
I liked her character.
I'm surprised she wasn'tnominated for a supporting
actress.
Honestly, too, I mean, Ithought she did.
You know, I liked her character, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
So yeah, it was interesting, for sure.
So I think she was nominated fora Golden Globe or a SAG.
So I think she was recognizedin this award season in some way
.
So I think she was recognizedin this award season in some way
and I think it was a GoldenGlobe because I think she
actually, well, only Murders inthe Building, which she is on
(29:28):
that series, ended up getting anaward that night.
So I think she was nominated ina movie.
She was nominated as part ofthat show, so I kind of remember
that.
But I didn't watch enough ofthis movie to be able to weigh
in on too much about it.
But again I might go back andwatch it a different time.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Did any of you go to A Complete Unknown, which was
the Timothée Chalamet Bob Dylanmovie?
Speaker 4 (29:58):
No, I still want to see that.
What did you think of thatmovie?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, so I went to the movie theater, so Wicked and
A Complete Unknown are the twothat we went to the movie
theater to see.
Steve went to Dune 2 with oneof our sons.
I didn't go along, but hewatched the stream of it with me
and I had seen Dune 1.
I, I didn't go along but hewatched the stream of it with me
.
So, and I had seen dune one.
I just didn't go around the daythey went um a complete unknown
(30:23):
.
Uh, I went into that movie andI've never really liked bob
dylan all that much.
I respected him and there are afew songs of his that I like,
but overall I didn't, didn't gointo it like, oh, I love Bob
Dylan, I mean it's cool thatthere's a tie to Hibbing and a
tie to Minnesota.
But I left that movie likinghim a lot more and feeling more
(30:48):
informed about what was going onin music at that time in the
country and what was going onwith kind of his, what he
started out doing and how hewanted to evolve and how much
the first group that kind ofwelcomed him and that he had
success with, which was like afolk kind of genre, that they
(31:08):
were kind of disappointed thathe was changing.
But he also was really young.
I mean this was like the firstfour years of his career from
being not known at all to him,kind of pivoting out of that
folk music.
So I left there thinking, oh, Ilike him a lot more and I'm
(31:28):
kind of neither here nor there.
I mean, timothee Chalamet is sotalented but he disappeared into
Bob Dylan.
To me it was really remarkable.
And I think he spent many, manyyears preparing, because I
think there was a COVIDinterruption and so I think he
was preparing and they weregoing to do it before, and then
(31:49):
the shutdowns and everything,and then it took a long time for
them, which meant he had that,that material and that character
to kind of work on it for along time.
So I thought he was reallyamazing and I think he won, you
know, a golden globe or a stag.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
so I kind of wondered if he would win for best actor
but can we talk about somethingvery trivial about timothy
chalamet?
What was with the butter suit?
Was he sponsored by like land?
I don't understand what thatoutfit was Did it have any
bearing on Bob Dylan and themovie.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
No, I don't think so.
I think he just has a reallyfun in his mind, a very fun
sense of style or his stylistdoes and he's brave to just go
for it and wear somethingdifferent.
Um, I really think, have any ofyou seen substance?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
that's the one that jimmy moore was in no, because
that seems really scary and ickyto me tell us what the premise
is of the movie?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
so she is is like a Jane Fonda aerobics television
show star.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
And she is her Demi.
Moore, demi Moore's character,yeah, sorry.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
So she's had a lot of success, you know, doing like
an aerobics type show that, likeyou know, like let's Get
Physical, or like Jane Fonda,her aerobics type show that,
like you know, like let's getphysical, or like Jane Fonda,
her aerobics things, right.
So she and she, the production,whoever produces this show,
whoever owns the show, she'sthey, she's tools, and they want
(33:32):
to push her out.
She's 60.
And they want, they're, they'repushing her out, yeah, and they
want to hire someone very youngto replace her.
And she, over here, you know,she's very self-conscious about
the fact that she's made them alot of money and and now she
knows that this is what theywant to do.
And she comes across anadvertisement for a substance
(33:57):
that you can get that and I'mnot sure that she completely
understands what it is.
But she decides to order thissubstance and picks it up, and
so when you inject it intoyourself, then a younger self or
younger being, um, you shareyour life with this person.
(34:21):
So every seven days, the youthat you are is functioning and
living your life.
And then, in seven days, thenthis younger person who is not
the it's, it's not the younger,I thought maybe, and I wonder if
she thought maybe it was gonnabe her younger self.
But it's Margaret Tully.
(34:43):
It's a completely differentperson.
Well, it just so happens thatthat younger self goes and gets
the job to host the show, and sothere it's, this substance.
It's borderline horror-like.
Have you ever seen Black Mirrorlike a Black Mirror?
Uh, it's a series called blackmirror.
(35:04):
Well, it's a little bit outthere, and this movie a little
bit like that, where you likewhat happened.
So there there are some issuesthat arise, but it is a little
bit of a commentary on justwomen and beauty and, you know,
being too old or pushed out ofthe way to some degree.
(35:26):
But it gets kind of gross atthe end.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I had heard that and also I love Margaret Qualley.
She is Andy what's-her-name'sdaughter.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Yeah, andy McDowell.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Andy McDowell's daughter and she was in a movie
the Maid and that's so good.
With Andy McDowell that's areally good movie.
So I like Margaret Qualley, butI had heard that it was horror
and that it was a littleshocking because horror movies
don't get nominated for BestOscar Right.
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Yeah, and it's not your typical horror movie.
I think the description is thatit is.
Some of the stuff is borderlinesci-fi weird that's occurring.
So there's no jump scares.
It's not like that kind of ahorror movie.
It's a little mind-bending.
There are some, you know, alittle bit of gore to it, but
(36:27):
that wasve's least favoritemovie oh and I thought it was
kind of fascinating.
But I also was like I can't lookat this scene because it was
too like something kind of grosswas happening, or so it was
interesting, so that that's aninteresting um thing that you
bring up Steve's favoritesversus your favorites.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yeah, what movies did Steve really like or think that
were going to win, and whatmovies did you really like?
Did you guys have opposingviews on anything?
Speaker 5 (36:59):
No, Well, I didn't think the Substance was the
worst movie, and this happenedlast year too.
Do you remember the one withFrancis McDormand?
It was called Nomad maybe.
Yeah, he did not like that atall.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Oh really.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
And I really enjoyed that movie.
That was like an example.
And so Substance was on thebottom of his list.
It wasn't necessarily on thebottom of my list, but he really
liked a complete unknown and hethought that a complete unknown
would win.
So the one that he would haveawarded and the one he thought
was going to win was the samemovie, a complete unknown, where
(37:40):
I in I really enjoyed um wicked.
I didn't necessarily think itwould win, like if I got to just
pick which one I like the bestpersonally, for me I might, I
would say that but I thoughtthat conclave would um win the
award and I enjoyed conclave.
It wasn't.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
There wasn't a weird you know thing for me about it
so so the only movie that Iwatched we haven't talked about,
and that is A Real Pain isn'tthat what?
that was called, with KieranCulkin and, um, jesse Eisenberg,
is that right?
Yeah, yeah, um, I did watchthat and you know I I premised
(38:24):
certain oh, I think it was inthe episode where we were
talking about reality TV.
I don't do awkward well, andKieran Culkin's character in
that movie was so freakingawkward and damn annoying.
At least you know that Ipowered through and I watched
(38:44):
the whole thing and I didactually really like the movie.
I thought that was good.
Not that I thought it was goingto be an Oscar winner, but
anybody else who else saw that?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah, I saw that one as well.
I was a little bit surprisedthat it was nominated.
Bit surprised that it was.
That it was nominated um,because and I think this is what
got me thinking about what arethe qualities that make these
(39:17):
things best picture um worthy,yeah, and I mean I enjoyed it um
well, so just to know that onewas not a best picture
nomination.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Tyrion Culkin was nominated for Best Actor and won
right Best Supporting,Supporting.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
So, yeah, I thought it was a good movie.
I enjoyed it.
I agreed the awkward.
It's one of those movies thatyou just have to keep watching
because you need or you'rehopeful for a happy ending on it
.
So it's fun to see him have arole like that.
(40:01):
I haven't seen a lot of whathe's done recently.
I still think of him as theyounger actor that he was and
always assumed that he would bein the shadow of his older
brother, but what a great careerhe's turning out to have.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
What was the?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
really popular series a couple years ago.
He was in that and I reallyliked him in that.
I can't think of the name.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Yeah, succession, that's what I was just going to
ask if any of you watched him inSuccession.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yep, that was good.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
I did not.
He is very unlikable inSuccession.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
As is everyone in the entire show.
Oh, everybody is unlikable.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
We watched it all, but we regularly said there's
not one person amongst them thatreally seems to have a good
quality.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
No, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Of the nine movies.
We've talked about some of them.
What's your recommendation,anne, and what are the ones that
people should?
If you're going to go out ofyour comfort zone or your, what
should people watch?
Oh, wow, uh.
(41:23):
Well, what's worth three hoursof time?
Speaker 5 (41:30):
I feel like that.
I mean Onora won.
I feel like you should probablywatch it and find out what you
think about the fact that it wonAgain.
just a fair warning Maybe notwith any of your children around
(41:51):
while you, while you're therethere, how about that?
Uh, I, I just think it'sinteresting it won and, um, I I
was looking at my you know phoneat some point today and it was
a pretty long back and forthgoing on in many um threads.
Uh, you know, going on in manythreads, you know comments to
somebody's post about beingconfused about it winning and
(42:13):
there seem to be real polarizingand opposing views about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
So that would be a good one to watch.
Well, I will tell you that,just listening to you, just give
those little synopsis, thelittle synopsis of each of those
.
There are quite a few of themthat I think I will want to
watch over the next few weeks,and I am glad that we can stream
them, but I love going to themovie theater to watch them.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
so um, do you think, kitty, though, you're going to
stay awake, because the runningjoke is that Kitty does usually
fall asleep?
Speaker 2 (42:56):
yeah, at the movie theater, at the theater, not
just at home, only at home.
I don't fall asleep at thetheater because I am eating the
gigantic bucket yes we need toknow it, is there butter in
there or no butter in there?
Speaker 5 (43:14):
Oh, always butter or mine must know topping, quit
calling it.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
I can't have that.
No, that's so not for me.
It's a better flavor topping.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
One more question for you guys about streaming a
movie at home.
Are you able to pause the movieand say we'll finish it
tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (43:42):
No.
Speaker 5 (43:43):
That's like two camps of people.
No, I can, I can, yeah, no,that's like two camps of people.
I can, yeah, no, Yep.
So we we both my husband and Iare totally fine with pausing
the movie and saying we're goingto pick this up tomorrow.
And that makes it easier tostream nine movies, yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Probably yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Or in like some years , we've seen one in the movie
theater and yeah, so I did notrealize that this was the
weekend of Oscars project foryou.
I thought that you had it kindof sparsed out, parsed out,
parsed out, that I didn'trealize it was a binge fest that
(44:25):
you did the weekend of theOscars.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
Okay, well, a lot, we know who we're calling.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Yeah, I just think you should just join in.
I mean, do it.
You could do it for the.
You could just look and seewhich ones did we go to already
and then you could just do one anight.
You know, you don't have to doit.
We find ourselves going oh it'sSunday night, we should get
these movies done.
So it wasn't necessarily whatwe wanted to binge for Friday
(44:58):
night all day, saturday andSunday.
We just you know it movesaround, it doesn't seem to
always be on the exact samedate- but it is always within a
fairly short amount of time,right?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's a very cool idea.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
That's a shot, that's a shot, yep.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Anne's like what?
Speaker 5 (45:28):
