Still Not Over Tall Girl/Tall Girl 2

Viewed a few months apart, Tall Girl and Tall Girl 2 have a lot to answer for this week on Still Not Over It. We’re ranting and raving - we had expectations & Jodie fell short.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
12123. Hey y'all, welcome back to Still
Not over it. I'm here with my Co host CM.
I'm hot Mama, and I'm sure as hell not over it.
Today we're not over today we'renot over tall girl.
So we decided this needed a tollits own segment because it

(00:24):
really baffles it really. It really baffled us from
beginning to end conception, howit got approved, how it got
made, thinking about all those films that are brilliant, that
don't get made and and this film, which if it would cost
more than 10 bucks, it was too much, you know what I'm saying?

(00:45):
So I guess we'll get into it. It's just kind of like we were
thinking about like. We were thinking about if if she
was actually tall, right? Lady, in terms of oh, sorry, no,
oh, should we quickly go? Over the plot of the.
Movie. Oh yeah, no, of course.
As best as we can. Best as we can.
So kind of crazy. Tall girl follows this girl

(01:08):
named Jodi who you would think would be insanely tall given the
title, but I regret to inform you she's 6.
She's 6 foot 1. So you know, I can think of
three women I know personally taller than that.
I got a cousin who's 63. I got a dear friend named Tasha.
Shout out Tasha who's 6/3 and istheir whole personality in life

(01:34):
revolve around that height? Absolutely not OK.
However, this girl, Jodi, her life from conception, really her
dad is like, what do you mean? She's going to be tall and you
would think, oh, he's worried she's going to be 6 foot 8.
Maybe that'll come with health problems for her.
Maybe it's a pituitary gland issue.

(01:54):
Who's to say right? They worry.
The worry is because she's goingto be 6161.
OK, Not only is that only slightly.
What do you think? What I personally think, if
you're going to have a whole movie about being tall, you
should do the least for a girl, at least 6.

(02:16):
I want to say 65, OK, cuz 65, I'm like, all right.
She's probably really good at volleyball.
She's pretty tall. She's pretty tall, but you know,
as long as you're proportional, like I don't see maybe even 6-8,
dare I say that's really tall for a woman.

(02:36):
I. Want to see suffering?
Frankly I want to see if she hadhealth problems due to the
height then I'd be like OK I getwhy this movie's about her.
Her pituitary gland issue, her being legally a giant and she's
like on my best. That he has health, but he's
always like, what if her organs explode?
Yeah, you know, anyways, so if all sister Jody who struggles

(03:01):
with her self esteem because she's 6 foot one, I personally
am. I, I personally am AM 59 and a
half. Some people might say I'm 510.
Freak. So if I've been on a three inch
hill, I would be able to have myown film.
OK, I could have a movie in a kitten hill unbeknownst to me,

(03:23):
you know, maybe I would have worn old kitten hill, would have
loved the attention of a film. I think that it's crazy that
she's not taller and I stopped talking about it now, but I just
don't think 6/1 is tall. I don't think 6/1 is that tall
for a man. I don't think it's that tall for
a woman. I think it's all right, you're
tall, but it's not going to be the focus of your life if you're

(03:43):
61. I would love to have someone who
is 6/1 on the pod talk about being 61.
They'd probably be like, what doyou want me to say?
You know, there's not much to say about it anyway.
So she has a bad self esteem because she's so tall.
People are always asking her, hey, what's the weather like up
there? You think these people had never
seen anyone over 5/8? The way they acted this school,
you'd think they'd never seen a person over 5/8, like 9 people

(04:04):
in a row. After what?
The weather's like the weather like up there.
Just like, first of all, it's not that far up there.
OK, she's not that she's 61. It's not that far up there.
Anyways, bizarre. Just really bizarre.
We will say she has huge feet. OK, she's huge feet.
She's a men's 13. That's big.

(04:24):
That it should have been called tall.
Can't find. Anything.
It should have been called. It should have.
Been called. Bigfoot, OK, that, you know,
would have been more engaging because you got that's a little
weird. It's a little weird.
OK, That being said, if you got a Bigfoot, I got a Bigfoot.
Women's women's 1011 keep That'sa Bigfoot.

(04:47):
OK, But is it big enough to havea whole movie about it?
Again, I say no. And so I do think that that is
funny that that is her source ofdiscomfort.
As someone who is black and grewup in the predominantly white
area and went to a predominantlywhite school, I promise you I
felt weirder than this traditionally attractive white

(05:08):
woman who's weird thing about her is that she's 6 foot one.
OK, If this was reality, all shewould be is captain of the
volleyball team, perhaps a center in basketball.
You know, maybe she'd be really good at pitching in softball.
You know, you know what I'm saying?
I got to stop. But I just, I think unbelievable

(05:28):
to me. OK, so she's a bad self esteem
because she's so tall. Ruins her self esteem.
Despite being a traditionally attractive blonde white woman in
America. Her self esteem, maybe she's
that she has no discernible personality other than being
tall. That's gonna believe, yeah.

(05:52):
She's just such a victim. I know how I already made it
about myself, but I will say that man, I think I've said all.
I just I guess I really hated this movie.
Well, also, you know, her, her family is not.
I will say I know that they weretrying to make it like it's
supposed to be a comedy, like it's supposed to be like funny.

(06:14):
And her parents, like I think they do.
It has like a little too much ofthe Disney effect where the
parents are like goofy idiots inthe sense that they're like,
like the dad is like he treats his daughter like a freak in
like an unbelievable way. Yeah.
It's. Really not her her problem.

(06:35):
It's the everyone around her problem.
Right. Like she comes home towards the
end of the movie, she's dealing with like boy drama and you
know, because there's never any boys in school who are tall
enough for her. And there's this transfer
student from Sweden. He's he's Swedish.
His name's Stig, which I think is very funny because he's tall

(06:57):
like a twig. And so I'm like, stick the twig.
And he's very handsome and smart.
And so it's not just that he's tall, it's that he's tall and he
would be a good a good choice for her in her mind.
So she's really smitten with this guy and things are working
and they're not. And it's up and down, and she

(07:19):
gets home, and her father, who in the beginning of the movie is
joking about her organs expanding so much that they just
pop, has. Well, like he's willing to
render her infertile for the rest of her life, so she stops
growing. Yeah, giving her hormones so
that she stops growing tall. And it's like, dude, what do you
care? Like what?
You'd think she's going to be 7 foot three like that one guy in

(07:42):
the NBA, Victor Wambabanga. That's.
Incredible that you know that. I think that's I we're going to
I not something like that when. Many sides of CM.
Let me find out his real name before I get cancelled.
Amazing. While you're doing that, it's

(08:03):
like a meeting of the tall people club in the I just.
Looked up. What's the tall guy in the NBA?
As if not every single man. As if not respond.
Back. Yeah, that narrows it down.
His name is Victor. Victor Wimbinyama.
OK, I wasn't that off. Victor Winyama.

(08:24):
He is 7 foot three. However, he's not even the
tallest man in the NBA. The tallest man is Zach Eddy,
who is 7 foot four. OK, that is how tall that is.
That is how tall they act like she is.
You think she was 7 foot 4, right?
I want to see a movie about four.

(08:45):
I want to see a movie about Victor.
You can call it tall guy and I will be like.
I want to hear about. That yes.
Okay, frames. You're showers.
You're over 7 feet tall. If you're ever 7 feet tall,
it's. Your life is so inconvenient.
Yeah, exactly. It blows.
You know what I do need An, you know, I do need an elevator to

(09:06):
the top. You.
Yeah. That's what I want to see.
Yeah. Like.
I bet, I bet stuff. Is that you ask?
They're asking what the weather's like out of genuine
curiosity at that point. OK, It's just.
I bet like it rains and you got to let us know down here, you
know what I mean? They got to people.
If you got to, if you got to, ifyou got to be.

(09:27):
Like this dude down on us. If you like, if you're like this
168 dude, I know no names will be dropped and you got to do a
little duck down to hear people because you're so fucking tall.
Then I'll then I'll be like, yeah, OK, that's how tall you
have to be for your tallness to be a point of conversation.
You got to be like that big 6. One like, dude, So what?

(09:49):
Half the girls on my basketball team in high school.
Right. If I, if I got a random cousin
taller than you, I don't know why you got, you know, it needs
to be weird. It needs to be to the point that
you're like, all right, you got to you don't know how tall you
have to be. You have to startle people when
you stand up. If you make people visibly have

(10:11):
a little startle when you stand up, then you're tall.
If no one reacts. If no one blinks twice.
Yep, you're not that. Tall, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Exactly.
Yeah, I want to see. I need the, I need the height to
be startling. OK, I want to be startled.
All right, you know how I know that I'm not tall?
People don't react when I stand up.

(10:32):
You know how I know I have big ass feet?
When I say how big my feet are, people go, Oh my God, you have
that's your shoe size. You know how big my feet is?
My big My feet are so big you can't find that shit in the
store you got to. Order it because of the economy.
I don't go bowling anymore but back when I did I used to risk
that shit. I got the account.

(10:58):
My feet are so fucking big. I used to worry that if I ever
gave the guy, my feet would be bigger than his.
OK, that was a constant worry. My feet are so big.
They're almost as big as my dad's.
My dad, 62 they're. Not.
Big feet. You ever see the net?
You know the nest quick, buddy. That's like, it's sweet.

(11:19):
It's and you can't. That's how big those fucking
feet are. OK, flip birds, bitch.
So, so big and flat that you're swimming faster than the
competition you. Don't even make shoes big enough
for the next quick Bunny period,okay?
Bunny, I need them feet to be a Bunny proportion.

(11:41):
Oh my God, Bunny. Big old Bunny feet slippers I.
See Bunny Feet and it's your movie.
I would pay to see that and it's.
Just like maybe something for shoes flapping around order like
this is how tall you have to be when without mentioning any 6
foot eight people I know by name, 6 foot 9 on a good day.

(12:04):
You got to be so big that when you shower you're like this.
I want to see a bit bucket like the bit net lady in that one
show. That's how fucking tall you got
to be. You got to be so big that you
hit your head on something at least once a day.
One hit a day. OK, I need you to be concussed.
You're so tall. Absolutely.

(12:26):
That's what I'm talking about. OK?
Absolutely. Absolutely.
I've seen some tall people in mylife believe it.
I've seen some. My cousin Brandon, 6-7, so tall
that when he went on the CheetahChase at Busch Gardens, they
were like, we don't know if you're going to fit.
That's how tall you need to be to have a show.

(12:47):
Like they said, Dang. They said I don't know if you
can ride the Cheetah chase because you're so fucking tall.
That's how tall I need you to beto have a whole movie about it.
I don't think, I don't think this girl's tall enough for
that. She's 6/1 and I wouldn't be
startled. I wouldn't look twice I.
Wouldn't. Talk about it.
I need to be so tall that peoplecall their friends and are like,

(13:11):
you're not going to believe how fucking huge the person I saw is
today. You know I.
Need people to be surreptitiously trying to take
video of you next and the person.
I need people fucking hiding thecamera trying to peep.
That's how big you got to be. And so you have to wonder, you
know, the choice to a tall girl next to a tall guy, whatever, a

(13:32):
tall girl next to her shrimp assman.
I'm taking a video of that and I'm sending it to everybody on
my Snapchat if it's 2019 when this came out.
And so, you know, no spoilers. I need you to be so tall I.
Need. To be so.
Tall. Why?
I need you to be so tall that when you walk past a group of

(13:55):
black people, they go, damn, that's how tall I need you to.
OK, that's how tall I need you to be.
If you're not that tall like, you don't need a movie.
That's so funny. OK, the way I would take that is
like, Oh my gosh, is it because I'm pretty?
And it's like, no, girl, that's not why gotta have.
Damn, damn, that's what I'm talking.

(14:17):
You need to be. I'm thinking about something
else. Damn, I need you to be the
Lakers. Need a center tall?
OK, that's crazy for a whole movie.
You better be 6/1. And do you know what else she
has? Like, oh, for some reason

(14:37):
Sabrina Carpenter is her sister,which is like her sister takes
her. 4/4. 11. Genetically makes no sense.
I've never seen that before. I've never.
Shout out to casting. All the teachers are like.
Maybe that's to to emphasize. Else in the movie below average
height clearly. Maybe if her parents were little

(14:59):
people, if her parents were little people and she was 6 foot
one, then you'd be like, OK. Why would her sister be like?
How tall is Sabrina Carpenter? I've seen her live and she looks
knee had to a bullfrog her live.No way.
Yeah, I saw her live. I.
Love Sabrina Carpenter too. I.
Saw her live God at Union stage in DC probably like 2 years ago,

(15:25):
maybe a little more. Way.
That's so cool. The Sweetheart tour is.
Amazing. Oh man that's so cool then I
guess. I guess you probably haven't
heard much of taste but she's like 411 without shoes but.
Like, and I was all the way in the back.
She looked about, yeah, about aninch tall to me, like.
Yeah, she's like 5 feet. Be exact.

(15:54):
So yeah, if they're those, theseguys deserve a movie.
Zach Eddy, if you're out there, what, what is the weather like?
You know? No, truly.
I got to see this. I got to see this dude.
Hold on. I got to look him up.
Zach. He better be cute.
He won't be cute. Give him a break.
No, he's not a cute he. Has hard enough up there?

(16:17):
No, exactly. Let's see.
He's living in a different we'reon different planets.
That's got to be a pituitary gland issue.
It's got to be right. I'm just jealous that's.
Great. I wonder what he's like.
I wonder if his voice is really deep.
He said he was 6 foot 10 in 8th grade.

(16:40):
I got banned from trick or treating when I was in 4th
grade. So you know what though?
That's the type of shit that warrants.
That's what I'm saying. Like that's like heartbreaking,
but like also wouldn't you be like, why is this like adult
man? I'm not going to lie, 6 foot 8
trick or treater comes out to me.
I'm going to be asking some questions.

(17:01):
I'm going to be like, hey, why is this like 6 to 8 year old
here? Like where's your dad?
And even if your dad is there, I'm going to be like, why is
this one so big? Actually, that would just scare
the crap out of me, frankly, no matter what.

(17:21):
Yeah. Because like when things are
different, we get scared becausewe're all ignorant sheep.
I all right. Oh and so the main issue that
she has is that she likes this tall guy from Sweden, but her
child her not her childhood, herlike best friend is a short

(17:43):
little guy who likes her. And so the the drama of the
film, if you will, is her likinga short man.
That is the drama, OK. Because she always thought she
would be with like a tall man. Like Victor Wama.
Victor Wama. I'm not going to mess up his
name again. A Victor W.
I can literally hear the writersin the writer room being like,

(18:07):
you know what? What?
They were like, wait, wait, what's?
Why? Why does the conflict have to be
something complicated? Why can't it just be?
She thought she'd be with someone tall and a short guy
likes her. They were like, what's the worst
thing that could happen to a tall bitch?
And they're like a little guy liking her.
That's the one that can happen. What's the worst thing that

(18:27):
could happen to a teenage girl? A short man like you know.
A short king, all right A. Gentleman an absolute fucking a
guy who doesn't carry a backpackbut his her.
Biggest. You know, milk crate.
Which comes into play later because he uses that captain, my
captain, He uses that milk crate.
That sounds crazy, but yeah. To kiss.

(18:51):
Get out there. Yeah.
Which means he's like a full foot shorter than her.
It happens. I'd say a foot.
In my humble opinion, I'd say a foot height difference is could
be ideal either way. You know you know could be

(19:11):
ideal. Something to think about.
Love closes many gaps. If you if you love them enough,
you'll lean down OK. Lean.
On down. Period.
People have made lots of other kinds of things work.
Why not that? And so in the end of the movie,
we are still together, the Swedish guy.

(19:34):
And then he's like, I don't wantto be with you.
And she's like heard. And then she turns out he.
Liked her because she didn't have any confidence.
That's my theory. Because he starts liking her
when she's, you know, hunched over depressed about being a
fucking giantess and. Understandable.
Understandable. 6 foot one. Who could surmount?

(19:54):
Who could surmount that, you know?
Fist, fist in the boulder. Her being 6/1 OK, she wakes up
every day she wakes up, she's still 6 foot one.
Being 6 foot one, you only have one life and you have to be 6

(20:15):
foot one God. I can't.
Think of anything worse, Man, I couldn't think of anything
worse, never mind the fact that she's.
Conventionally attractive. Conventionally.
Attractive. White.
White. Society.

(20:36):
Yeah. No, yeah, the struggle.
She's on the struggle. It looks like she goes to a good
school like. Yeah, it's a shame that people
over 6 feet don't have rights. You know I.
Agree, it's a shame that we repealed them in 2004.
You know, if only she had civil rights, but unfortunately

(21:00):
there's a quota in women on overwomen over 6 feet.
After the 2004 Six one briefing,you know they lost their ability
to like, vote, be educated, think for themselves, retain
property. Things really rolled back.
They can't even, can't even votebecause you can't be.

(21:22):
You can't be. Taller public.
You can't be taller than six feet if you want to vote.
I don't make the rolls, you know.
We were children when this repeal happened.
And I'm so sorry, you know. I know, so sorry.
It's vicious. I'm with her.
I'm with her in solidarity. I.
Agree. We're not 6 foot one.

(21:44):
But I empathize. But I.
Can imagine thanks to this movie.
And apparently, according to themovie, it's really fucking hard,
OK? Seems fucking awful.
I want to attend a meeting at the Tall People Club is an ally.
You spend we have one night and it's been at six foot one God.

(22:07):
I think that's actually how we got on this movie.
Is that Netflix? How did we, Yeah, how did we get
on hold? That hold that pose, you know,
Noah Centineo being like and then the girl gets out front of
the car, same thing of like tallgirl, she's about to and then he
has to like put down the milk crate and then get up on it and
kiss her. And it's like, that's just so
like inorganic and like. It's so hard.

(22:31):
Yeah, it's like. No flow really.
I think the main issue like why really?
She just leaned down like why would you make him put down a
milk crate and step on it? Like is it such a pain in the
ass for you to like they're treating her like for fucking
they're treating. Her, I'm going to be real.
They're treating her like a horse.
Honestly like and they're treating him like a leper for

(22:53):
being like 5-7. They're like, here's your step
up, little lad. Yeah.
Like he's not like a leprechaun,you know what I mean?
Like it's like it's sick 6 anxious people like you know
what I mean? Like it's like it's.
Like damn, good luck hiking. Everest, honestly they're like
enjoy your long distance relationship like it's not that

(23:16):
serious. God, it was.
I just can't believe it got and.Then I got a sequel.
I was going to say twice someonewas like, that's.
Crazy. And in the sequel, like what she
learns to like? Like wearing heels.
Yeah, like what? I'm sure they break up over like

(23:38):
the high, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, absolutely,
absolutely. Like what was the foundation of
their relationship? He was like, hey, I she has no
personality. And he was, he was like, maybe
like you anyway. He was like, maybe I don't like
the weather up here, you know? Yeah.
She's like bullied so for it's like, I hate when movies do
this. They like, really.
I hate when shit that wouldn't happen in real life happened.

(24:00):
When they just. And like, I mean, unless we're
wrong. And there's to a student for.
Unless we're wrong and there's some epidemic of what, women
over 6 feet being relentlessly bullied for their height when we
don't know about it? Been students like kids can be
mean, but like we're not like kids don't I guess we're not
Kids do. Or kids off don't often

(24:20):
relentlessly bully one random kid for no reason, you know what
I mean? Like.
Did she play a sport? And if so, why?
Not True. Now this is fucked up for me to
say because I will say as someone who's 5:10-ish, I did
get pissed off every time. I will say as a little girl, I'd

(24:41):
be like, they'd be like, Oh my God, you're so tall, why aren't
you? And I'd be like, Oh my God,
they're going to say model. They're going to say model.
And then they would be like and then they would be like.
Volleyball, discus, basketball and you're yeah, crew.
They were like, they were like, get those wide outs.
So are you kidding me? You're way too beautiful for

(25:03):
crew. That there's some beautiful.
Rowers OK redacted like I like that we.
Gotta come this part out. Who knows if we have a new
drawing community here? It's like, you know who?
You know what I mean? Like OK, rowers are beautiful,
it could mess up your back. Like you don't need that.
I don't want to do anything thatused to be slave labor.
OK, Yeah, yeah. Or.

(25:27):
Whatever. I just.
I just like and. You know what?
I was good at swimming. Kind of.
Absolutely. It's those.
Those. Those so many.
Things that you did do were amazing.
No, I'm that's a lie. I wasn't good at swimming.

(25:49):
You were a good swimmer. I could hit AI, could hit a
backstroke, you know, I just think that like.
And a freestyle. Her height simply.
She could have swam, she could have played volleyball.
She could have played. She was.
Too busy playing the victim. And with that, that's a wrap,

(26:09):
because now I can get over it. Because you're right, that was
her main problem. She better get taller in the
next movie. That better.
She better still be growing. Like is there another tall bitch
and it's like 2 tall girls and tall girl too like.
And they have to fight like giraffes.
With their kids they better like.
Does her short boyfriend find another tall girl to obsess
over? Is that his cake like?

(26:31):
Tall girl fetish. Tall girl 2 fights the death.
Tall girl two leg transplant where she's no longer tall.
She gets her knees fixed to makeher shorter.
Speaking of, have you ever seen those men that like Get?
100% they like for like 4. Inches.
It's so scary. They like, break their legs.

(26:52):
They have to they. Literally, but they themselves
in order to be able to be taller, it's.
You know what though? Sometimes they go from like, you
know what? I don't think I could if you're
going from like. They're like they go. 5/2 to
like 5-6 like you know what I mean?
Like I don't really do somethinglike.

(27:20):
And so we love a short king here.
We're just. Because I could change your
life. It's like 30 K for the surgery

(27:51):
and like no one's going to come out with you in 5-6.
So then you have to do it again.And I'm going to be real, even
5-6 to five, nine is not going to be that much of a difference
as a man. No, like it.

(28:13):
Like if she didn't love you at 5-6, she's not going to love you
at your 5/8 and 1/2. That's so.
Funny, but if you're like 5-8, stay in line.
Do not get out of line. Because there's 4 inches.

(28:36):
Those are going to change your life.
OK, in that case, fucking. Because the difference between a
5 foot eight man and a six foot one man is so many different
things. Ignore.
Everything we've said 61 not being tall if you're.

(29:06):
My face so to the men who do decide to go for that leg
extension first of all, that should should be illegal you
shouldn't get to say we're. Not sponsored by that suit in
case that's also we're open. Did I?

(29:39):
Sorry, you were just saying. That don't give up on love,
don't give give me a high give up, don't give up on love just
because of your height and just be kind of respectful and I'm
sure you'll find the one. So with that, got to apologize
for any offensive comments aboutheight.
And that's really it for me, passing it back over to Shelby.

(30:02):
My name is Hot Mama and yeah, I guess you know, I'll just drop
off by saying that. Really enjoyed.
Millions of men every year get married who are under 61, so
just remember that. Yeah, and I'm sure and I'm sure
plenty under under 59 too. And you know what?

(30:26):
I'm pretty sure that Married at First Sight is still taking
applications 90 day fiance many other mail order brides such
dating show application situations where y'all don't see
each other until the day of. You know what?

(30:49):
It will be, but if you want to permanently disable yourself in
order to be. What's being what's knowing how
to walk when you can be 6 foot one.
Exactly who? No one cares how fast you can
walk. With what's nice teaching your
kids how to ride a bike when you're fucking 6?

(31:10):
What's walking your daughter down the aisle when you're God
damn 6 foot one? You can't vote, but you sure
you're tall? What's holding your Dick?
Will you pee when you? Let that thing just swang.

(31:31):
I'll have my woman hold it for me.
Yeah, all the bitches you'll be getting at your at your.
Height, now you're talking foot one and, you know, not able to
walk, but that's besides the point.
So we need to stand up for ourselves.
Gonna stand up, take my people with me.

(31:53):
Yep, period. Tall rights now.
And guess what? Guess who got a sequel?
Who? Tall girl.
And guess what, I'm still not over Tall girl too.
That's the squeak wool. That's.

(32:14):
Crazy. Apparently the first tall girl
was wildly popular. People loved it.
Didn't know that, didn't. Know that?
Show us the numbers. Show us the numbers.
Yeah, cuz you can't. I wish you could see like, you
know, cuz you can't see box office.
I wonder what the tall girl's budget was.

(32:37):
It didn't give low budget. You thought it gave low budget?
At all? No, it didn't at all.
Not with all of those products placed.
Now with Sabrina Carpenter, it gave.
Like true. Film like.
Yeah, but yeah. She didn't sing.
I bet that's extra. Yeah, that is so funny that
Sabrina didn't sing and that other girl did.

(32:59):
That means I. Mean your sister sing.
I guess we have to get into the plot of it because she didn't
sing in the first one either. OK, so the plot of the the plot,
the plot of the second. I was so enthralled by C Ms.
Breakdown of Tall Girl that we Iagreed to see Tall Girl 2 with

(33:21):
her, so we watched the second one together.
We had a great time watching it as always.
I honestly enjoyed the tall girltwo more than tall girl 1.
I don't know if it's because when I was watching Tall Girl
one I was literally so upset about her only being 6/1 that
like that is all I could think about the whole movie.
Every time her height was mentioned, every time there was
a tall joke, every time she was self-conscious because of her

(33:44):
height, every time some something happened height
related, I would literally see red.
I'm like she's 6/1, this would not happen, this would not
happen. She's only 6/1.
So I was so upset about that that I feel like it kind of
ruined the experience of watching Tall Girl 1.
So I think by Tall Girl too, I had accepted it.

(34:06):
And so because I had accepted it, I'd accepted the six foot
one of it all. I could then enjoy it more.
And she doesn't have much of A personality but she definitely
has more in Tall Girl too because it's like less about her
being insecure about her height and more about her like
relationships I suppose her in that short man.

(34:27):
So she's she's accepted it. I realized this actually, I was
driving, I had like a really drive that I had to make for
work. And I realized this when I was
reflecting on Tall Girl 2. Actually, I guess we should get
into the plot and then I'll, I'll, I'll, you know, share my
grand, all right. I would say the plot of Tall

(34:50):
Girl 2 is she's trying to get into a play, become a lead of a
play. She's trying to get into she's
so I guess she's she's comfortable, like Sam said,
she's become comfortable with her height.
In the end, there's like this big homecoming speech and
everyone is like, wow, like Publix thought that speech you
gave after you did she win homecoming queen.

(35:13):
I'm just going to say yes because it would make sense that
she did, but I do not remember. I'll look it up.
I'll look it up. She's, she's up on the stage for
homecoming and she's giving a speech.
So presumably she's either winning or losing or, or up
there with the crown talking to her peers.
And she's like, so the next timeyou ask how the weather is up
here, it's pretty great. And what's her name?
Kimmy Jodi. OK so now Kimmy and Steg are

(35:36):
crown homecoming king and queen so she doesn't win.
No, Kimmy is her ex. Best friend, right?
So yeah, no, she doesn't want homecoming.
Queen. Yeah.
So she's up there. I think it's like AI think she's
up there to be like stop mockingme.
Which is which? Works, which works.
It's so incredibly brave so. Brave, so brave of her.

(35:58):
And like, you know what? They were mocking her.
And so they stopped. And so she goes to this play
audition and there's like a boy who remembers her, her speech
word for word. He like recites it to her and
it's like kind of cute but kind of weird and you're like, OK,
whatever. Her ex best friend like makes

(36:19):
like a rude comment about like you shouldn't even be here
trying out you stink and then storms away.
She auditions, she's good, she gets the lead in the musical the
boy like so she's still dating her, her boyfriend Dunk.
They're like happy together. They show you this montage of
their summer, but now there's like this chemistry with the
theater boy. So you're like, okay, like
what's happening here? Okay, miss emotional cheater.

(36:42):
Yeah, relationship drama is happening.
And now there's like, this third, like, kind of throwaway
character boy. He's like, also equally cute.
Honestly, I thought he was the theater boy for a second because
he was so, like, cute and well dressed.
He's just like the kid in Dunk'sart class who's for some reason
obsessed with Jodi. Jodi talking about for.

(37:03):
For for a social outcast. That.
Pose yeah, For a social outcast that has such a hard time
fitting in and having people like her, she sure has a lot of
people that are fucking in love with her.
Yeah, like a lot like now what she, this is boy #3 yeah #3.
Dunk, she's got this boy who memorized her, and he was like,

(37:24):
I didn't memorize your speech because you're tall, because I
thought you were cute. Don't laugh.
He says that I memorized it. Because I didn't made it with
Can you imagine writing in the script they sat down and he they
wrote. I did not memorize your speech
because you're tall. I just want.
I want you. He says it I want with a
straight face, complete. Sincerity.

(37:45):
I want you to know that, in caseyou're thinking that.
And so it's just, it's crazy. Also the plays Bye Bye Birdie.
If anyone's trying to visualize this in their head.
I think what that what happened with this because this is a
Netflix original. Shout out by the way to the
actor who plays Dunk because he was an American vandal.
He was fantastic an American vandal.

(38:07):
He was in the second season of Cruel Summer, which was the
first season of Cruel Summer. Incredible the second season,
honestly. We should do the first season of
Cruel Summer. We should do the first season of
cruel summer. But anyways, so he I feel like
breaks the curse of like, you know how these big companies,
Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, like theyget their hooks and an actor and
then they're kind of recast and recast.

(38:28):
I feel like shout out to him forbeing able to go and jump
between Netflix project to Hulu project to Netflix project.
You know Centineo could learn something from.
Never. Yeah, no, I'm kidding.
He must be a really likable guy to to ingratiate himself to all
those people. Netflix loves that boy down.
So what I'm sensing from Tall Girl 2 is if we look back on a

(38:48):
classic beloved Netflix film to all the boys I've loved before,
look at season 1. We have a weird insecure Girl 1
main love interest. Will they will will they, won't
they get together? Introduce season 2 second love
interest. Oh my God, it's the.

(39:09):
Exact same plot. I didn't even think about that.
It's exactly. Exact same plot.
And so they try to feed it to us, even down to like the
throwaway third love interest character.
Yeah, like, and they try to makethe friend group the same with
like Stig and like the friend and the and the it's like very,
very similar. And so because it's Netflix and
the timing, they were like, wow,this franchise is so successful,

(39:31):
people cannot get enough of it. What if we did a really similar
storyline, but her trauma is notin fact that her sister's going
away and she's shy her her trauma is that she's tall and
then. They're like God, that's a great
idea. That's enough because.

(39:53):
Remember, remember, the worst thing, the worst thing that can
happen to a teenage girl is being above advertise.
It's the worst thing. OK, so the worst.
Thing that ever has. Yeah, you're right.
I didn't even think about that. Shout out Jenny Hahn for the
plot, I guess. Like.
Period. They ripped her off though, and

(40:13):
honestly I felt like it was not as successful at all.
Because you're the thing about Peter.
And isn't it Kobe Covey I. Don't know he's he's Covey and
something else. Wait now.
No, it's Peter. And gosh, what's her first name?
You know what? It doesn't matter the reason

(40:33):
you're I'll. Look it up all you explain.
The reason you're rooting for them is because they have this
chemistry and they're such a great couple.
There's like very little chemistry.
I feel between Jodi and Dunk. They spend a lot of their.
Time Laura Jean, Laura Jean and Peter.
I don't know what cubby. I can't believe it.
Oh, it's the. Cubby.
Her last name is Cubby Dude. You're right.

(40:56):
OK. I knew that was someone's name.
OK. Yeah.
Laura, Jean and Peter shout out Janelle Parrish.
She follows us wherever we go. Love Janelle Parrish always and
forever. She's just so incredible.
I also want to get your take on I wrote the voice trademark in
her head. If anyone's read 50 Shades of

(41:17):
grey like that's well, this is what I think of for the voice
where it's like the voice in my head starts dancing cha cha.
It's like, actually, the voice in her head is always like,
you're so ugly and tall. The boys in her head hates her
guts and the weird thing about the voice in her head is like
maybe it's her voice but it's unclear.
Like it's like it's the voice inher head does not sound like

(41:40):
her, which I think is fascinating.
My inner monologue has my voice.It's like, it's like only her
mean thoughts. It's not her sister, it's not
her ex best friend. It's like kind of this.
Like she sounds hot, whoever sheis, to be frank, the voice in
her head. But like, is it her like in a
speaking with a slightly deeper voice?
I don't know. If I think it sounds like her

(42:03):
but like maybe electronically modulated to be an octave or two
different. Yeah.
Or it could just be an entirely different actress all together.
It must be when she speaks to her sister about it.
Harper, because the next thing Iwrote is Harper in case Sabrina
Carpenter is so funny. Not helpful though.
Not helpful. Not helpful.

(42:23):
She wants to be the first to know just so she can be the
first to not to help. Well, because she.
Asked her sister. Do you ever get like that
doubting voice in your head or her sister's?
Like no. No, I'm the prettiest girl in
the party. Bubbles probably upstairs
stressing her hair so she can be.
That's literally Sabrina Carpenter's character.
That's so good. She's like, no, why would I be

(42:45):
insecure? Have you seen me?
Have you seen me? Wait, who's the best friend who
eventually so they start settingup also, you know you have Dunk
and Jodie. They set up like the core for
Duncan. There's.
Stig. And Stig.
And then who's that girl? The best friend.
She's super pretty. Her name is a little difficult
to pronounce. I'll look it up.
It starts. I think it's just an F.

(43:06):
It's like Fr and. Then there's Freda it.
It might. No, I don't think it's Freda.
Let's see, there's some tricky vowels.
For FA. Rita FA Rita.
That's what it was. FA Rita to eat.
So they they start up and Sam called it immediately when we
were watching it, Sam was like enemies to lovers.

(43:26):
And I was like, Oh my God, no, because.
One thing about me is I'm going to spot an enemies to lovers
from a mile away, OK? And if it doesn't happen in
Canon, I'm going to still ship it, OK?
Period. I don't care.
She said I'll make it happen. I'll make it.
I'll make it work OK. Because I wrote OK, the
Roundhouse kick to the face mademe laugh, and I know that's

(43:49):
Farina kicking Stig. The Frida and stick of it all
okay wait so the plot basically she's trying to get and she
wants to do this play but she has an inner voice that is like
she. Really.
And by by birdie. But then she like.
But Kimmy is her understudy. They like pop champagne for her
casting call. Like is it called the casting

(44:09):
call in high school? What's it called?
It's a it's an audition. Yeah, her call back, Her call
back. Yeah, after she gets.
The also she gets the role not because she's the most talented.
Let it be Frank. This girl is never going to be
the most interesting thing in the in the room.
They that's like part of her like character.
They're like there's no, we're not going to let her be the
coolest in the room ever. She gets the role because the

(44:31):
director, like, is like, so how can you relate?
And she like, does a whole monologue about, you know, I
really felt like the monologue was in a personal apology to me
directly because I spent the whole first movie clowning her
for being not that tall. Then there's like in like making
her height like as though she like was missing a vital organ

(44:51):
or something. So there's this monologue and
she's like basically like, I know like being tall isn't like
the worst thing in the world, but like, it really did like
profoundly affect my life, etcetera, etcetera.
She goes on a little. So the director asks her like,
So what would you say to someonewho comes back from like, war?
She's like, well, I've been at war with myself and she.

(45:14):
Goes well. I understand that some people
are like homeless, missing limbs.
I understand that people have actual actual problems like the
people in this play, but me, I'mtall.
OK, so. But anyway, she does like a good
job of explaining herself and she charms the director and

(45:36):
that's how she gets the role andthen the other girl.
Not CM, but the director. She didn't charm me, but she
charmed the director of this, the director in the in the
movie. And so she gets the role over
Kimmy, who's the understudy. And if you remember Kimmy, she's
from, you know, call Girl 1. The shade.

(45:57):
She's the one who becomes homecoming queen with Stick
ANYWAYS, so she gets the role and then she's plagued within
like crippling and performance anxiety.
And I feel like she gets the performance anxiety because her
sister suggests it to her. She's like, Oh yeah, you
probably have performance anxiety.
And she's like, wait. Probably hate yourself.

(46:18):
And she's like, wait, what? And then she lets that fester
and guess what? It manifests as actual stage,
right? Which like, that's why you
shouldn't suggest psychiatric issues to people, especially
when they come to you in a moment of vulnerability.
So stake like he's still living with Dunk and he wants his

(46:38):
friends back and I didn't has the lead.
I didn't know that like foreign exchange students stayed that
long. I had a for a fine, a foreign.
If I can't, why can't I pronounce foreign?
I had a foreign exchange studentcome stay with US1 summer from
Germany and yeah. Boy or girl?
Girl. Yeah, she recently messaged me

(46:59):
on Instagram after like, are we?Still friends we were never.
Friends, I actually have a crazystory about it I don't know if I
can tell I I don't know if I I'll tell it and I I maybe in
like a few like maybe in a few episodes I'll tell you the story
it's a crazy story we'll. Check back.
Stay tuned with us because you'll want to hear this.
But I really need to think aboutif, like, how much I want this

(47:21):
in the world. Anyways.
Yeah. So we had a German foreign
exchange student for a whole summer, and that was long
enough. She lived in my room.
Like, like, like Charlotte. Just, like.
Not sure. Of course.
Not my if not Charlotte's room. Never Charlotte's room.
Always my room, but I will. Yeah, that's so crap, actually.
And like my room is small. Mind you, my room is smaller

(47:44):
like it was that. The shade.
The parental shade. But they don't have a favorite.
OK. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Parents don't have favorites. They don't have favorites, no.
My my parents favorite is absolutely undoubtedly my older
sister. Anyways, like there's there's no
debt. That's crazy.

(48:04):
OK, anyways, So yeah, anyways, Stig is like a foreign exchange
student for years. Like we're on year 2 of him
living with them, which I didn'trealize that like they stayed
that long. Didn't we have one in our high
school? Oh yeah.
Do you remember him? Yeah.
I remember him. I also was like, I remember

(48:24):
people asked him like, why'd youpick Sarasota, FL?
And he was like, Florida soundedgood.
And I think he thought it was going to be like Disney and
stuff. And it's like, it's not like
that. No.
Anyways, so he's so Stig and thelittle guy.
What's his name? Dunk, dunk.

(48:46):
Dunk, Dunk. That's funny.
His last name is calling a shortguy Dunk, knowing that he could
never. Dunkerton or something?
Let me see it. Calling a short guy dunk knowing
he could. It's Dunkleman.
Dunkleman. They call them like dunkers.
Dunk Donkey. Like calling a short, calling a

(49:07):
short man dunk is mean. It is they call them all these
emasculating nicknames like so Dunk.
It's like their anniversary. This is the best Dunkers is like
wow, I'm really crazy about Jodi.
'S Oh, he's not obsessed with her.
Like what? Their whole lives he's obsessed
with her. He's sick and obsessed.

(49:28):
So he's like he's cooking for her.
He's making all this food. Dunkers is coming out.
He's like, I'm sorry, Stig comesout.
He's like, what is all this thatyou're doing for Jody and his
accent? For some reason, Stig's the
waiter. Well first he sees dunkers
making the stuff and Dunkers messes it all up.
He ruins it and Stig is like I will fix this.

(49:49):
Like I will help you cook like food that isn't disgusting
because dunkers totally blows it.
So Stig saves the day. Turns out Stig can really cook,
so not only does he cook him like a an awesome three month
anniversary like dinner for him.And isn't this their one?
This is their one year I think. Three month.
Really. Because he keeps saying this has

(50:10):
been like the best three months of my oh whatever.
This is insane for a three monthanniversary.
He lights three months. He lights 1000 candles.
He does, and that's something hebrings up because like, they're
arguing about, I even wrote downJodie at fault for a fight.
So Stigwyn's back dunk with this, and I'm frankly all of us.
He makes dinner, he waits on them.

(50:32):
He puts his hair back in like a ponytail and like puts on like a
cute waiter outfit. Makes him like, really?
Oh, go ahead. I was going to say, he
emphasizes that absolutely lethal face card.
Oh. God 100%.
He puts that to work finally. Like, frankly, Jody, like the
way I would have forgiven steak even though he was playing me.

(50:52):
Can you imagine you're going to your your three month dinner
anniversary and your ex situation trip is like the
waiter and you're in their houselike that's crazy like that's
they couldn't have done it anywhere else like.
Y'all couldn't have gone out like.
Yeah, I know crazy stuff like I get.
It you're trying to be cute, butwhatever.

(51:15):
So she's like, the voice in her head starts telling her that
she's like a worthless piece of shit while Dunkers is turned,
like talk to her about the future and how happy she is, how
happy he is to be with her. And he's like, babe, are you OK?
And she's like, yeah, I'm just worried about like, bye, bye,

(51:36):
birdie. And I'm like, stressed about,
like, my lines and all this stuff.
And he's like, oh, well, you know, if you're too stressed to
do this right now, we can do this like another time.
And she's like, oh, for real? That'd be awesome.
Really. We can reschedule.
Sorry I sorry for the silence. I was just reading about the

(51:56):
actor that plays Dunks and he and Sabrina Carpenter dated that
year in 2019 which is blowing mymind.
It's like an Ariana Grande EthanSlater type beat.
You know. Good for them.
I think he's. Probably.
I think what I've said. I'd write here.
I'd write or die for a short cake.

(52:16):
I bet he's a really. I bet he's a gentleman.
I bet he's a sweetheart. I mean, he's a good actor.
Yeah, he is. He was again.
He was so good in American Mandal both seasons.
Highly recommend fast streaming on Netflix.
Alright, So what were you saying?
Oh, they're at dinner. Jodie is like I would love to

(52:37):
dip out on this dinner to go learn my lines because I hate
myself and. Because she's stressed.
She's stressed, she's under a lot of stress and this man wants
her to sit down and have a candle lit dinner for like a
three month anniversary and she's like, I am really stressed
right now. But she just wants to go stare
at the wall and think about how much she hates herself.
You know what I mean? Like.
OK, but that's still booked and busy in my in my world.

(52:59):
In my world, that's me, booked and busy.
And I hear that, but like also, you know, and so she's like,
well, you said it was a hey. And he's like, but I didn't mean
it. And I lit like 1000 candles.
It was a rhetorical question. Yeah, I know exactly.
It's like, but at the same time,I think like anybody would agree
that like somebody walking out on like a romantic dinner that

(53:21):
you cooked for them. Oh, it's mean of her for sure.
It's it's rude. It's a very, it's very
indicative of like a lack of respect.
And mind you, while all of this hap is happening, she's like
getting really emotionally connected to her Co star.
Right, like and like Dunker's dad is trying to take pictures.
It's fucking embarrassing for him, you know?

(53:41):
Yeah, yeah, she's, she was in the wrong for sure, for sure.
He really he if I mean he did too much, sure, but she really
didn't appreciate it at all. So she leaves the dinner party
and Stig's like, But I made all this food.
Stig is the community. Stig.
Stig. Is like you guys, you wanted to

(54:03):
go back and then. The next day at school, there's
like they kind of like all theirfriends were like, Oh my God,
they're I don't know how everybody knows, but everybody
knows. There's like this blatant
flirting in front of her man, which is kind of like, you know
what I mean? If you guys aren't, yeah, you
guys aren't officially broken upyet.

(54:25):
So everybody around them is like, feels like you guys should
just like, break up if you want to break up.
Like everyone kind of like daresthem to break up.
So they like break up at lunch. And it's weird because like,
they had that terrible night andlike, they're like, let's sit
together at lunch like nothing happened.
Enter tall girl 2. I mean second tall girl stage

(54:48):
line. So Stig has a sister.
We find out because she surprises him and she likes Stig
is tall. She's probably as tall as the
tall girl if not taller. Doesn't come up because she is
anything. She shows us how easy it is to
be tall. The voice in Jody's head's going

(55:08):
crazy. Like now you're not even the
only tall girl. Yeah, it's like, not only did we
just break up, now there's another tall blonde girl moving
into your house that's probably going to be way nicer to you
than I am. And she is way nicer to him.
But to be fair, when she first gets there, she's dating like
the hottest guy and wherever they're.

(55:28):
From it's hottest guy in Sweden.And then she gets like a few
days in or a one day in, she gets word that he's cheating on
her. And so they make a pact like not
to take their exes back. So even though Jodi comes over
to talk things out, after spending like a little bit of
time, it's literally the same thing as to all the boys.

(55:49):
Like she spends some time with the backup guy and realizes like
I actually do love my boyfriend.And so I wrote down her movie
theater trauma. I don't know what that means,
but they go. To stop Shelby, I just read my
note that says why auditioning for play and not basketball

(56:13):
team. OK, reductive.
Stick to the status quo, all. Right.
Like what is she doing in this musical when she should be on
the volleyball team like. I wrote down at the park with
Tommy slash Conrad. I can't remember which is his
real name and which is like so there it's their character name

(56:34):
and then their character in the play name.
I can't remember which. Is not confusing at all.
Not at all. Let's just call.
Let's just call him. Her Co star her hot Co star her.
Dodie's hot Co star in the play.That's cool.
She's at the park with him when he asks Jodie to dance.
She's like here, it's like this beautiful big open space.

(56:55):
Like, girl, why did you even join the musical?
He's asking you to rehearse. Like is this big open park not
good enough for you or somethinglike.
Yeah. You're the leads in the musical.
Like, what do you mean here? Like yeah, bitch here.
Yeah. And in classic costar, in
classic costar tradition, they're really emotionally

(57:20):
invested in each other. Oh yeah, they kiss.
Yeah. And she's like wow this kiss
made me realize that like I'm interested in you but confused.
So she's honest. She's honest.
The next day she goes to school,she's honest with her boyfriend,
her ex-boyfriend. It's not clear what they are.

(57:40):
So he hates her. It's complicated.
Yeah, Dunks. It's complicated with dunks.
Dunkers look so 50s with his little tucked in.
He does. He looks.
He's a pretty timeless looking dude.
He is. Oh, do you know what I wrote
down the Jock Mock festival? Because that's where what's her

(58:02):
name gets cheated on I. For I forget about this part I
must have. There's always going to be a
part in these movies where I zoned out for a bit, and this
must be, This must be. So the cast party, there's like
a birthday party. This is like.
Oh yeah, with them. There's a birthday party that

(58:22):
they're supposed to DJ together for some reason.
Dunkers and Jodi are also part time DJs and they and performers
so they want to DJ and saying aslong as you love me at this
party together. However, there's a cast party
the same night with a bonfire and they're all supposed to go
and Co star guys like you have to go like you're the lead.

(58:42):
Like if we don't go it's going to be a whole thing and blah
blah blah. So she's like OK, I'll go for
like a little bit and then I'll hit the party after.
So she goes to the bonfire and her item is this pair of like.
To be frank. Stripper heels.
Yeah, it's OK. Yeah, literally.

(59:04):
Designer stripper heels. Designer stripper Stripper
heels. Designer stripper heels.
They're actually. I didn't see the first one, but
I. They've got to be 8 inch heels.
They're huge. And imagine being a tall girl.
Why would you gift a tall girl? He was like, that was like his
gesture in the first movie. Like, he was like, let's make
you actually, actually socially unacceptable tall.

(59:26):
Yeah. He said.
I want people to stare at us. I want people to be like.
Whoa, I want to come up to your kneecap so.
Step stool to kiss you. At this point, a little ladder,
OK? So he gets 1.
So she throws the shoes in the fire and she's like I want to

(59:48):
move on from dunkers like I'm done.
And then she watches the shoes burn for like 30 seconds.
Then she's like no, no I. Want to move on?
She reaches for them. Someone's like Kimmy.
What's hot? No.
Someone tells her to stop. And then Kim May.
This is Kimmy's a redemption arc.
She goes from being the villain to being this because she's

(01:00:11):
moved by Jodi's story about likehow Jodi's going through a hard
time and she's like, all right, maybe she doesn't need me to
bully her anymore and maybe I'llbe nice to her now.
Maybe I could just lay off a? Little so her character does a
complete 180 but it's OK cuz hercharacter was hardly developed
in the first place and she's. A stick.
And she pulls those stripper heels straight out of the

(01:00:31):
bonfire. Still can't wear them.
They're disgusting now. But it was, it was nice.
It was like nice if we were to do that.
And then God. And then what?
That was so cute of Kimmy to do that.
So she shows up at the karaoke party.
She's like, Oh my God, I have these shoes.

(01:00:51):
I know how I feel. She breaks up with the nice boy,
the costar boy who's like, you didn't leave me on like I was
hopeful, but it's cool. Maybe someday He like takes it
like a champ. He's going to play the long game
you. Know what else?
Who else follows this formula isthe kissing booth, I think.
Tall girl just like couldn't. It's the Netflix formula.
It's the Netflix have like teen drama romances.

(01:01:13):
They just they couldn't get tallgirl enough traction because it
was so bad. It's like, I think it's just
like hard to write actual tension for like movies like
this. So instead they just they're
like the tension is going to be like the tension is going to be
another dude. It is and that.
When you never choose the other dude, it gets too predictable.

(01:01:37):
So it's like, you know, so she shows up to the party and she
sees Dunker's singing As Long AsYou Love Me with Stick's sister,
which is like a huge betrayal because that's their song and
they were supposed to perform together.
But in Dunker's defense, she's late.
Yeah, also like from the out on the outside, always looking in.
From the outside looking in, it looks like he's having a good

(01:01:59):
time, but we the viewer can see from his perspective that he's
actually having a shit time and he's really sad that she's not
there. Like butt ass sad.
He's like, he's sad. Boo Hoo, like Boo Hoo.
Sad. So yeah, also we we should say
also going on on the side right here during all of this stuff is

(01:02:23):
Stig. And for Farida's like they're
having a moment, which is weird because, well, it's it's, you
know, girl code. So she Frida Farida is falling
for Stig and mind you, Stig is, you know, Jodie's ex situation
ship. Well, Frida is a designer, like

(01:02:43):
a costume designer. She has all these shirts or a
clothing designer, excuse me, a clothing designer.
And her parents like don't believe in her and like think
she sucks and all this stuff. And happens to the best.
You know what? Happens to the best.
You know what? You win some you lose.
You win some, you lose you. Sometimes your parents only want

(01:03:03):
superstars, you know, And when you're not that, they're like,
what am I going to do with you? I can't put you in the
recycling. You know what?
Sometimes when you roll a gutterball, when you.
Sometimes you have kids that areabsolute strike out fucking
awesome superhumans and then youhave ones that are like.
You get out of the. Heart then you have other ones

(01:03:25):
that are like literally, then you have then you have other
ones that are like no mom, I want to follow my passion.
I'm an artist and. They're like you have artists.
And her parents are like, please, please, please.
You're a black girl in America. You're a black girl in America.
We just want you to have a financially stable, sound
background. And she's like.

(01:03:46):
She said no, I've dreams. I'm a dreamer.
I have a soul. I'm a poet.
I'm an artist. I have, Yeah, I have a poet's
heart. But do you want me to?
Do you want me to work a nine tofive with my poet's heart?
I can't. Please.
Please. I can't do it doesn't.
Run on company time. You think, you think people who
have poetry in their soul can clock in?
Like, that's cruel. Anyway, so she wants to be AT

(01:04:09):
shirt a designer. And so she's selling all these
shirts, and the shirts sell out,which Stig announces at her
birthday dinner. She's like, Oh my God.
Like her family's so proud. Like she's like.
Oh my God, that's so cool. Come to find out, Stig, who's
got a big fat crush on Farida, bought all of the shirts.
Like, she's like, oh, can I put my crop in the trunk of your

(01:04:30):
car? And he's like, yeah, sure.
Oh, wait, no. And then?
Can't. And so she's like, how could you
do this, you idiot? And then they kiss and it's
cute. Yeah, this is a really
incestuous friend group. They're all dating each other.
She's like, I can't because you're my friend's situation

(01:04:52):
ship and he's like, well, nothing really happened between
us. So so then they go to the dance.
The dance happens. Stig said.
Black Queens forever. Snow bunnies never, I said.
Black Queens forever. Snow buns.
Never. One thing I will say about Stig
and Farida is like, well, it is notable that every character

(01:05:14):
steals the scene from Jodi the best friends to enemies.
All of this like every single side character is more
interesting than Jodi. Every single one is more
compelling without fail. Kimmy had that complete 180 in
her personality and character and she still like was more
interesting and had more growth than Jodi.
Dunker's forgives her, but I I like don't remember why or like

(01:05:38):
really even what does she say tohim?
Like, she shows up at the dance and she's like, no, he shows up
at the play. And one of them shows up
somewhere. Anyways, I I feel like it's not
that it's inconsequential because the main.
Point doesn't really matter. The main point of this movie is

(01:05:58):
not necessarily their relationship, though they do
reconcile. It's about her overcoming her
stage right to be in this musical, which she does.
She does. And she, you know, sings well,
Yeah. We have to watch.
It's just like Riverdale where like you're watching something,
you're watching something, there's no singing.
And you're like, all right, there's no singing in this.
This is fine. I mean, we love a musical, but I

(01:06:19):
it's weird to even call these a musical because suddenly there's
like a 20 minute interlude of singing.
I think she like opens up to himabout like, oh, it wasn't you.
It was like the voice in my head, but like, it's kind of
like. Say reconcile.
Yeah, Jody's like the cause of all her own problems the whole
time, which is like, OK, cool, you know?
Yeah, anyways, she overcomes herfear.

(01:06:42):
She does great in the musical and.
Legend has it she got her legs sawed off.
And legend has it she's still growing to this day.
It's a pituitary gland issue. So yeah, I I think that's that's
tall girl too. I'm still not over it.
I'm happy for staying in Farida.I'm still not over the fact that

(01:07:05):
it got a sequel. Yeah, I mean, it's just because
the first one was so popular, but we had the question we must
ask, must ask is why was the I don't know, maybe it's.
Must have been people leaving iton for their doll.
I'll be Maybe it's because we'regrown as women and.
These were movies, but dare you point that?
Out these are movies made for 14year old girls.

(01:07:26):
That's great. Like it's crazy.
It could be I, I, I'm here to announce that it could be
because we were by no means the intended audience for this.
That's. Great, that's a crazy read.
I had to address the elephant inthe room.
It wasn't. US, damn it.
Wasn't us, so they were trying to impress the.
Producers are sitting up in the cloud like Stop watching Teen.

(01:07:48):
Movies we're like, we can't wearaddicted.
Yeah, like this was made for they're like, this was made for
middle and high school young women.
And you guys are grown women. OK, Sorry.
I are you. They're like, why are you guys
watching this? You have college degrees.
They're like, sorry, you were not the intended audience.

(01:08:10):
By any stretch of the imagination so.
But other than that, I think, you know, it was AI.
Wouldn't recommend it, but it iskind of like.
It's like if you need something on, it's like it's one of those,
you know, they did. Cleaning your bathroom.
They did their best. Yeah, and the cast has
chemistry. I'm still not over the

(01:08:30):
Apparently the cast had a lot ofchemistry if they if Sabrina
Carpenter and dunks actor. Oh yeah, a lot of chemistry.
They were dating. I will say there's a scene in
the and then the cafeteria and like for some reason the cameras
really focused on like their school food lunch trays.
And that was like made me a little nauseous.

(01:08:53):
I'm not going to lie. It was.
Weird triggering. It was the food looked
disgusting but besides that, that's my only main critique
besides, you know, everything. Else gnarly.
But yeah, I mean, if you're if you're like a 1415 sixteen, 17
year old girl, you'd probably like it.
And like I, I do think that likethere's a lot like it's nice to

(01:09:16):
see. I always have to end on a
positive note after being after hating for 30 minutes straight.
I do want to say that I think that like it's nice to see
someone overcome like stage fright and like the fear of
performance and the fear of being seen.
And she does overcome that and that's nice as well.
I also think it's cool that likecuz in a lot of these movies,
it's like the hot new young guy wins the girl.

(01:09:39):
And I will say it's cool that like she ends up with like her
childhood best friends. Like she ends up like, yeah,
with her childhood best friend who is like loved her his whole
life. And I think that's nice as
opposed to if she had ended up with Stig, so.
There's that or the hot new Co star who's not taller than her
but he is like. A little.
Taller 59 who's like 5-6? Generous.

(01:10:03):
Yeah. But yeah, no, I mean, yeah, I
think it did what it wanted to do.
Well, we're still not over it. We're still not over.
It next week to see if Sam's going to tell us a little story.
