Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's definitely an experience.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It was it was Welcome to Meet Cute, a podcast
for friends. Jendavrs and Priscilla Wilson get together to discuss
all things rom coms, from the classics to the latest releases.
We'll be diving deep into the world of romantic comedies.
(00:24):
I was putting together my notes because I watched a
movie but I didn't really like. I just enjoyed it,
didn't really pay attention to take notes. So I was
putting together my notes and I don't know, I won't
spoil it for you, but I kind of got frustrated.
So I'm excited to talk about it today so that
we can we mean dive in. Yeah. Yeah. By the way,
(00:52):
this is our twentieth episode, the Congratulations by Congrats, and
this is also releasing about a year since our last released,
Yes Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
A year of podcasting.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's been so fun.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It has been so fun. I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Cheers to another twenty episodes and another year. Yeah, all right,
my friend, would you like to tell us a little
bit about the movie we are discussing today.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
This episode, we are covering the New Sydney Sweeney and
Glenn Powell rom com anyone but you, which has been
getting crazy amount of press and promotion, which was really
weird to just always see things about this movie. I
was very confused by it, so of course I had
(01:50):
to go see it to see what everybody was talking about.
But this movie is basically about two people who do
not care for one another and are kind of forced
to be around each other due to her sister and
his friend getting together and.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Getting married and.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
The people in their life trying to get them together
in order to make them behave and not ruin everybody's
experience of this wedding. And that's I mean, that's basically
the plot. So they go along with it and fake
the relationship and then end up, you know, end up following.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So it was.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Spoiler alert like a true rem com.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yes, it was. It was something. It was something.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I can't wait to hear what you think of this movie.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'm very excited to talk about it. I I know
we talked about before doing this movie, and we talked
about the press and all that stuff, right, And I
remembered as I was putting the notes together, and I
don't know if we talked about it when we talked
about it then, but I actually didn't see anything, if
(03:18):
not around just their drama, but nothing else really, maybe
like a few posts. So I'm intrigued about why our
algorithms are so different when it comes to rom coms.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I was definitely seeing a lot more pop up on
my TikTok feed because yeah, like first and foremost, there
was all that drama surrounding the main actors, Glenn Powell
and Sidney Sweeney. There were a bunch of rumors going
around that their chemistry was like a little bit too much,
(03:58):
and the assumption was that they were having an affair
while they were filming. Both of them, I believe both
of them were engaged to other people. She I think
she's still with the guy, while the one that she
(04:19):
was engaged to while all this was happening, he's no
longer with the girl and she his ex fiance, Like
they broke up in the middle of all that, and
she like stopped following Sydney Sweeney and everything. So that
got everybody else in a tizzy again because they were like,
oh shit, something really must have happened. Full I'm gonna
(04:43):
be totally upfront with all the promotion that has that
I have seen on social media because I'm like, what
is this. I'm like, I've never seen so much press
and promotion for a movie before since like the Marvel days,
where like you just saw the Marl like everybody in
(05:05):
Marvel promoting the hell out of all those movies.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
This was like it almost felt.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Like that level, just because it was constantly like thrown
in my face and I'm like, why are they doing
so much press.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
For a rom com?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But I absolutely believe that they were fucking around for sure.
For sure, Adriana and I both looked at each other
and were like, Oh, they absoluutely were sleeping together.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, well, so I will have to go look at
this content because from what I saw my according to
my algorithm, I was like, oh, I think this is
just like Hollywood trying to like create some drama for
the movie, but not to put my tinfoil hat on.
But I was like, putting my notes together, I'm like,
(05:58):
wait a minute. Priscilla and I have talked about this.
She saw all this promo and I'm like I didn't.
I barely saw anything. So I'm like this algorithm, I'm
intrigued because we both have our meet cute stuff on
our phone. So I'm not gonna I'm gonna stop a day.
I'm not gonna put my tinfoil hat on. But I
was like, something is fishy here, something is going on
(06:22):
with the algorithm, and I'm going to get to the
bottom of it another day. But yeah, I don't know,
but you know what, maybe they were And I don't
blame them because they're both very good looking. That sounds
really wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But Sydney Sweeney is so beautiful, like she like she's
just striking. Like you see her and you're like, whoa
mm hmm. I hate her voice. Yes, I feel like
she has a cotton ball in her Yes, yes, it
(06:58):
sounds like, yeah, it absolutely sounds like she's got like
marble mouth. Glenn Powell, I feel he'll like mixed things
about him. I think he I think he's pleasant enough.
I don't think he's unattractive, Like I look at him
and I'm like, he's attractive, and definitely his body's like insane.
(07:23):
But I saw something. I saw something posted and now
I can't unsee it. Somebody said that Glenn Powell looks
like the human version of a copy bar, and I
can't unsee it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I said it to my sister right as the movie
was starting, and she's she was started laughing, and then
she was like, why did you tell me that, because
now that's.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
All I've seen. Oh no, he does.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He does look like a copy.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Bera oh no. And I thought, Okay, wow, that sucks
because I'm like, oh, he's so attractive, but now I can't.
I can only imagine him playing the live action version
of a movie. Oh and the.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Other things that I've seen him in. He kind of
plays the same type of person, like do she always
there's always a reason for his clothes to be coming off.
I also read somewhere that they were comparing somebody was
(08:38):
comparing him to Matthew McConaughey and saying that he's the
new Matthew McConaughey, because when you know, Matthew McConaughey had
that whole He kind of started his career in rom coms.
So they were like, oh, he's he's the new Matthew McConaughey.
He's even from Texas and all that stuff. Do not
disrespect Matthew mcconaughe. These men are not the same.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I mean, okay, okay, I'll give you this one thing.
Perhaps I don't know Glenn Powell well enough to know
what he does. You know, maybe I'll go look up
some YouTube videos to find out, like does he journal?
What does he think about life? You know? I not
(09:23):
only I still find Matthew McConaughey obviously very attractive, but
like he has so much death to him, So like,
I don't know that, you know, we gotta be careful
throwing these comparisons around.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah, people were not happy to see that that posted.
A lot of comments were made about how disrespectful that was.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Why do I feel like Glenn, Polo and Sydney are
are gonna hear this? So I'm like, I'm sorry, guys,
you're great. I yeah, no, I don't know. I mean,
you know what, Glenn slide into the d MS and
tell us if you journal? Oh god, okay, I have
(10:10):
to ask you. I'm gonna ask you this right now.
Then before we get into the movie, did you have
a favorite character.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The dog?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The dog was working over time.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The way that answered, just like it's like for someone
to ask you that question, you needed to let it out.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Here's the dog for me?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
This was the dog. Yeah, don't judge me, what dog?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Are you kidding me? That dog was front and center.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I don't remember the dog. Where were all done? Whose
dog was it?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm gonna assume it was the bride's parents, the people
who own the beach house.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What kind of dog was it? Why am I blanking
on this dog?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I think it was like an Australian shepherd. It was
really cute. And Ben Glenn Powell's friend, who's the cousin.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He's the cousin.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I think Pete. Yes, he's the brother of the.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Of the bride ride. Yeah, he's always with that dog.
The dog is always next to him.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
They were trying.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
They kept like waving a little fox toy in front
of him. They were like training it to do something.
But that dog is in every scene.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I have to google it and I cannot find this
dog anywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Also, the dog's name, I.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Was I wasn't sure till like the very end, when
the credits were rolling and you you know, you see
the cast and credits and stuff like that, and at
the end of the cast list was the name of
the dog and the name of the dog's character. The
dog's name in the movie is Clonipin, which if I'm
(12:21):
not mistaken. That's like a drug, like an like a
I don't want to say the wrong thing, like an
antidepressant or something. Clonipin is, Yeah, it's like a it's
for like panic or anxiety and seizures. But the dog
(12:45):
was named Klonipin. And I kept every time they said it,
I was like, there's no.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Way the dog's name is clonopin. And then at the end,
I was like, oh my god, it really was.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But the dog's my very character. She was doing a
really great job.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So I can't find her on Google at all. Them
my pictures of her, and this girl lives a private life.
I cannot remember a dog at all in this movie.
I might have to go. Oh, I'll wait till it
come back.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The dog was the ring bearer.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Wow, I didn't even know there was a ring bearer,
Like I do. I forgot the wedding.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I'm gonna I'm gonna find this damn dog and I'm
gonna send it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I need to please do because I need to see
the dog. And Okay, so the dog's your favorite character.
Got it understood? We should end this year?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Who was your favorite?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I like Pete because he was so like just grounded.
So yeah, obviously don't remember the dog. But maybe if
I remember the dog, maybe the dog would have been
my favorite character too. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I really I just love like how prominent the dog
was in each sea, Like Adriana and I were like
laughing about it because she'd.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Be like, there's that dog. That dog is right there.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Wow. I don't remember the dog at all.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And the dog's the reason. The dog's the reason why
the wedding cake fell on the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I remember that happening. Oh, I was trying to pull
the little fox. I remember that. Still can't picture the dog,
but I remember that. Well, shall we talk about this
scene that broke my heart? It's obviously you know exactly
(14:37):
what I'm going to talk about. I think because broke
my heart. But I thought it was very well done
in the sense of that felt very real when you
know they spend their time together. And at the beginning
of the movie, when they first meet at the coffee
shop and they spend all day together, she comes over
to his place. He makes her a girl cheese and
(15:01):
they spend the night together. They don't do anything, they
just sleep together. She runs off that morning like if
she just robbed a bank and.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, yeah, she did a whole walk of shame, which
she didn't really even have to do at all.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't know why that felt so real to me
because I'm like, I believed her in that moment. I
believed that she was so nervous, didn't know what to do.
And then she's on the phone talking about it, and
then she's like, wait, what did I do? So she
comes back and then of course he's disappointed that she
just like left, because he was starting to he was
(15:41):
very vulnerable, talked about his mother and obviously he has
that fuck boy personality, so that was very unusual for him,
and so he just felt stupid. So again, I just
thought it was very real for both of them. Right,
She's like in the clouds, wasn't sure what she was doing,
walks out. He is vulnerable, feels betrayed.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, it's crazy to think that the whole premise of
this movie results from a huge miscommunication.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yes, yeah, they hate each other.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Because Jen, it sounds like the aliens have come to
pick you up.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It looks like they've picked Tulsa as their first place.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Like if they had just communicated, I don't know, I mean,
she didn't leave because she didn't like him. She was like,
I don't know what to do, So she left, and
she didn't get very far. Like she gets on the
phone with her sister and she's like so excited because
she's like, oh my god, like there was such a
(16:52):
connection with this guy, Like she was pretty excited about this,
and they were like they were so cute, Like they're
just vibing in the coffee shop, like it was like
the first date of your dreams, you know what I mean,
Like where everything was just like you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Don't want the night to end. Yeah, fell asleep because
you just right your body couldn't anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
So she wasn't running away because she had a curfew
or like you know what I mean. She was just
like I don't know how to handle this, so I'm
gonna leave. But as she's like telling her sister, she
like you said, immediately she's like, I'm so stupid. Why
(17:38):
did I Why do I run away? Let me just
go back. She goes back. The door's like wide open in.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
The middle of the street, right, so the doors wide open,
and of course she walks in right.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
At the part where Ben obviously he has like a
wounded ego and he feels like he needs to save
face in front of Pee where he's like, that was
like a nothing girl, like she didn't mean anything to me.
It was basically Kenna talking about her.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Would you would you do what she did and.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Just kind of like stay quiet and walk away or
would you be like confrontational.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
About one hundred percent confrontational? Yeah, yeah, I'd be like, oh,
how fucking nice your piece of shit? I'm such a lady. No,
but okay, So, so the scene for so real because
(18:46):
I could see myself doing something like that, running out
thinking like oh my gosh, like I'm so embarrassed, like
what happened, you know whatever? Like I would, I would
probably run out feeling silly that like, oh my gosh,
I like overstayed my welcome in this guy's house and
thinking he probably wanted me gone a long time ago. Right,
(19:08):
But I feel like at that moment, after spending that
much time together, we are friends. I'm sorry, but this
is the laws of kindergarten still apply. We're friends, right, right?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
How could you be so comfortable and vulnerable with somebody
the night before and there was no alcohol involved, So
it's not like it's not like either one of you
were like, oh my god, I overshared because I was
so fucked up, Like there was nothing like that. So, like,
I do get the I do get the awkwardness in
(19:44):
the morning, but it's like you guys fell asleep cuddling, Like,
do you think he's gonna wake up and be like
get the fuck out of here?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Like I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I just don't know he was gonna like kick you
out of his house or anything.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I mean I get yeah, yeah, I like, what
would you do? Would you have stayed quiet? I don't
think so.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I wouldn't have stayed quiet, But I'm not entirely sure
that like I would be coming in swinging or anything.
But I like, to me, I'm like, I wouldn't be
happy to hear what he's saying. However, if the connection
(20:29):
was really like this major thing that you are talking
about that you're telling your sister like oh my god,
this felt so different, Oh my god, that like it
seems so special and whatever, if I heard him saying that,
I would just I'd be like, well, that's bullshit, like
(20:51):
and you like you would just know that it's bullshit.
So I think I would come in and just be like, hey,
what's up.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I'm back, Like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I think I'm not entirely sure that I would be
like yelling at him or something in front of his
friend or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I think I would just be honest.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Like I would like to think that I wouldn't be
so aggressive about coming in.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Immediately. I'm like, I'm about to confront you because we're besties.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Like, listen, we really got to know each other last night,
and this doesn't sound like you.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
This doesn't like I think it's coming from a place
I hurt yesterday, hurt people, hurt people.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, Like
I think, I really think I would be honest. I
would take that opportunity to to be like, listen, I
I'm back because I feel stupid for running out. There
was no reason for me to run out, so.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That there their whole interaction and the hole misunderstand. I
was like, Okay, that's where it ended for me, because
I'm like, Okay, that feels real. Sure, that feels right,
Like it's so much and even I understand, you walk
away and you don't see him again, you know, so
you sort of out of sight out of mind that happened.
It's a story to tell. I have a problem with
(22:18):
the whole premise of the movie, which is the hostility
that then happens.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yes, yeah, it seems it seems way over the top.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
For what it really was.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Like you don't need okay, okay, here's here's what the
energy doesn't match for me. You spend one day with
this person. You don't have the boss to talk about
what happened, but you have no problem being angry at
this person over one day that you spent together. And
they made one comment. Do you see what I mean? Like,
(22:52):
if you put it in one box, Yeah, you spent
one whole day together, you have a connection. But you
also spent one whole day together and immediately you hate
this person because of one common thing.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
But that but that is another reason why I don't
think I would necessarily be coming in hot mm hmm.
If I heard what he said, you know what I mean,
I'd be like, all right, like, let's calm down. I'm sorry,
this is my bad, Like I shouldn't have done that.
But yeah, like she they see each other and and
(23:24):
she's like calling him a fuck boy and stuff, and
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, That's what I'm saying. When was that energy before? Right,
it's been six months, a girl, get over it, right,
If you didn't have that energy that one day, move on,
get over it. Hi, it's nice to see you again.
Let it go. But again, we wouldn't have the wrong
come without it, So I understand, but I have a
(23:49):
big problem with it.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I do too, And also, like you know, they they
don't have an actual conversation about that stuff until much
later in the movie. I think it's when they're like
waiting for the rescue helicopter in the harbor, right, they're
they're sitting, They're sitting on the buoy in the water, waiting,
(24:14):
and I think they were, like I think they were
talking about that.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I think so too. I vaguely remember that conversation. I
want to say they talked about it, but I maybe
wasn't even like as clear, which is another issue with
this couple, right, Like how happy was this ending?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Because communication, Yeah, it's it's lacking. There's a lot of miscommunication.
But like I would think these two are getting confrontational
in that club after, you know, after it's been six months,
she's calling him a fuck boy or whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
But I feel like when he he makes mention like, oh,
you know, she abandons people, bull she slips out in
the middle of the night or whatever, I would address that,
I'd be like, right there, right like, she doesn't, she
doesn't even acknowledge really that part. She just keeps attacking
(25:15):
him for being a boy or something. And I'm like,
if you just like took five minutes and cleared the
air to be like, listen, this is this is what
I did because of X, Y and Z, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, And now that we're talking about this again, this
is one of my biggest gripes with this movie. They
pretty much made this whole wedding trip about them because
they couldn't just sit down and talk exactly. This is ridiculous,
this is I disliked it a lot. I Again, I
(25:56):
think if the movie would have had a different premise, know,
maybe have them date for a bit and then you know,
you end wrong for whatever reason, sure, and you can
redeem from there. But the reason they cost so much chaos.
It's stupid to me, It's ridiculous. It doesn't make any
freaking sense that I would be that immature to cause
(26:20):
chaos at my siblings wedding weekend while we're staying with
her in laws. Forget it, but it runs in the family.
It runs in the family because her parents.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
M h and it's your favorite.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You ready?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, we had a big Garman moment.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay, I.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Did you I was about to tell you that I
liked him, did you? Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I he didn't. I thought he was like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I thought he was stupid, and I don't like the parents,
like the parents were being really inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yes, also taking like again, it runs in the family, right,
because they have her ex fiance show up to the
wedding weekend, like where are the cues here? Your daughter
literally just had a weird fort Fi with this guy
(27:32):
in front of you, you know, sorry and not again
too far away. But I did like him a lot
in this movie because he didn't seem so sneaky. And
we've talked about this before. In the other movies he does.
He has a sneaky look and his character is sneaky,
but in this song, I just thought he looked good.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I mean, yes, he's he's so handsome, He's always been handsome.
But it's funny that you that you think he's not
sneaky in this movie, because Adriana and I were like
cracking up because we know that you don't like him
and that you think that he's sneaky, and I'm like,
he's really sneaky in this movie because he's like doing
(28:11):
weird shit behind her back, and so I think it's
hilarious that we are we do not agree about that
in this movie.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, I was surprised. I was surprised that you did
not like him in this movie.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Actually, yeah, I like him in so many things, but
I don't I didn't like his role in this movie
at all.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I can understand that because her parents were weird, were
very weird. I thought, I thought comically weird, which was
I feel like it's respectful, but there are.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
They're like they're trying to force this, like her reconciling
with her ex, and I think it's weird that her
ex would go along with it, like what are you doing? No,
that's it's really it is really disrespectful and weird and shady,
(29:10):
and it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So now, yeah, again my issue with the movie, like overall, Pricella,
I don't know if this happened to you guys. I
laughed a lot in the movie. There were so many
moments that I was like, ah, that's funny, Like that's cute,
you know.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I I did absolutely have moments where I was like laughing.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Out loud at this movie.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But in general, I don't like the plot. I think
it was weird because it just seemed like a really
flimsy reason why they're pretending to be together, and like
nobody knows that they're together, but then like the the
(30:00):
sister and the bride and like everybody's working together to
like get them together.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I just think, like, why don't you just walk up
to these people and be like stop being a piece
of shit, Like this is my day. Why are you
trying to get them together? Why are you trying to
get them to fall in love? Is it's the only
way for two people to like not ruin a wedding.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah, I am one hundred percent in agreement with you.
The movie had its moments, but it was so stupid.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, I think I think it was just an excuse
to have two hot people, yeah, like touch each other
and be half naked, and it was just like just
really weird reasons and even the things that they were
doing to try to convince everybody around them that they
(30:55):
were like really into each other, were.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Like weird, they were so weird.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
The whole hiking scene where they're standing on the cliff
and they are literally in each other's pants.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I was like that. That entire sequence went on way
too long.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yes, Like they literally were digging around in each other's asses,
and they were doing it to try to convince the
people that they were hiking with.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
But the people they were hiking with, they.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Weren't even paying They weren't paying attention. They were just
staring at a koala bear that was in a nearby tree.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Also, what kind of friends do you have that you
have to stick your finger and someone else has asked
in front of them so that they believe that you
are with that person.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I between that sequence the whole We're really gonna convince
everybody if we go to the front of this yah
and protect and to play out the Titanic.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I I couldn't, No, I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
If I saw that in real life, I would laugh.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I would be like, who the fuck are these people?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Like?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I don't look at that and think, Wow, they're so romantic.
They must be so in love for just standing like
a couple assholes at the front of a boat with
their arms open. She fell in and rightfully, so you
got what you deserve. Bitch, What are you doing up there?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Nobody seemed to notice that she went into the water
except for him. It took them kind of a while
to realize that they were in the water.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Oh horrible, I'd be screaming my head off.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Yeah, especially you're in Australia. Hell of sharks in that water. Ooh,
I would be terrified.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Screaming my head off. No, I again, I'm sorry I
keep saying this. I enjoy the movie. I laughed so much.
It was there was moments that were cute, everything. But
when you take a thirty thousand foot view at this movie,
the plot sucked in the way that people reacted around
the plot sucked. It was it was an excuse ab
(33:28):
I'm kidding, but it just it really did. It really did?
It wasn't It didn't feel I get, you know, the
comedy aspect of it, and you can still have the
comedy aspect while still giving a really good romantic plot.
And I feel like this movie was just so I
(33:50):
was just doing it for the plot, I guess, just
trying to be funny, not think, not like really like
like I don't believe those two are still together, you know,
I don't they were in love. Maybe they were lust
but not in love.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I was gonna say their their chemistry was real, Like
I do feel like they were attracted to each other, yes, yeah,
but it was just weird.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
It just felt really I don't know, I felt.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Awkward in a lot of the movie, Like watching it,
I kept looking at my sister and I'm like, this
is really cringey.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Like at certain areas.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm like, this is cringey. I don't, like, I feel
very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
There was a guy in the movie theater by the way,
in our row.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I think he was there with his wife. That man
was having the time of his life.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
He was laughing.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Hysterically at every thing.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And I'm like, you know what, good for that guy.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He's really just enjoying everything.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I feel like that was me, Like I was like,
oh my god, ha. But then you had moments like
the Titanic moment, like all the chaos of the wedding,
like all the guests trying to the family, trying to
make them get together like it was. It was a
good movie in that sense, like I was laughing, there
was good comedic timing like it was good. But gosh,
(35:20):
it sucked alright, But you know what, there are people
like that in this world. So maybe this is someone's
real life. I don't want to be invited. I'd rather
stay home. But this is someone's real life. Just sucks.
If I let put it this way, my friend, if
I ever see you trying to act like that like her,
(35:44):
I would put you to the side and say, let
me check your temperature. You don't feel well right now,
we need to take you home.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
You have full permission to slap me in my face.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Hard done. I'm writing that down.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, I won't, only if I were to be so
stupid like it was.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It was.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
It wasn't convincing, you know what I mean. Like they
were laying it on too thick. Their family was laying
it on way too thick.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
It was just I don't know, it's just stupid.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah. No, let me ask you about a scene. Yeah,
because I thought it was funny, as in I'm laughing
at that's happening. But in the scene itself, I'm like, oh,
it's so stupid. The airplane when she's get stuck on him.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, it was stupid.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It was stupid obviously, Like you know, they put her
in these really compromising sexual positions. I almost feel bad
for her because everything, everything that she does is like
(37:01):
hyper sexualized her Sidney Sweeney, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Now.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
A lot of people know her from Euphoria. I've never
seen Euphoria. Maybe it's very very sexual show about high schoolers.
I first saw her in I think it was the
second season of Handmaid's Tale. So she plays this like
(37:28):
I think her character is supposed to be like a
fifteen or sixteen year old, Like she was great in it,
but it was like, you know, she's fully covered up.
It's I don't know if you've ever seen the show
or the very least know what it's about, but like
she's it's nothing sexual like that for her character, Like
(37:50):
she's this very naive, innocent girl living in a really
fucked up environment. So that's where I first was introduced
to her. And then I remember seeing her Instagram account
and I was like, wow, like she's beautiful. I had
(38:11):
no idea that that was the body she had under
those like frumpy clothes that her character wears, and now
I feel like everything I see her in they're just
always putting her in these compromising positions. Adrian and I
were talking about how the entirety of this movie, her
(38:33):
clothes are like too small for her. Her bikini, the
part where they go to swim to the yacht to
get the sunglasses or whatever, and then they start talking about, like,
you know what, we should just do it. We should
just pretend like they won and were into each other.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Her bathing suit.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
You can tell that the top is way too tight,
slash is too small for her because whenever they showed
her like her back, that strap, the like bra strap
is high as shit up on her back. I kind
I feel bad for her, kind of like they're putting
(39:19):
her into these dresses that are just a little bit
too small for her so that she's spilling out. I
think she even I think she even made mention once
because she was like addressing some comments that people were
leaving where they were basically telling her to like wear
clothes that fit, and she was like, you know what,
(39:43):
sometimes designers send outfits for me to wear on the
red carpet and stuff, but they're not like custom made
for me, they're sample sizes that are being sent and
I have no choice but to like stuff myself in
to these dresses that aren't my perfect size. So yeah,
(40:04):
I do, like I do look like even more slutty
or something because she has a big chest to begin with. Yeah,
it's kind of hard to not look like a slut
when you already have a big chest. So there is
a there is a part of me that just feels
bad for her because now, like they sexualize her all
(40:27):
the time, And that's the entirety of this movie. It
was sexualizing that both of them. Like he's stripping, he's
he got completely naked for the Spider par and every
time you see him he's shirtless and doing exercises and crunches.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
On the beach.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
And I don't know, Like, yeah, I get it, their
eye candy. They're nice to look at, But at the
same time, I'm like, these people are gonna be stuck
being put into this position for every little thing.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
That mm hmmmm hmm. See this is going off from
your point basis. This is one of the reasons, this
is one of the reasons we do this podcast. Rom
Coms are work of art. They are not meant to
be ridiculed. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy. Okay,
(41:20):
this kind of stuff makes it look like this is
how we get people to come watch a rom Come
otherwise and won't watch it. No, no, no, no no. Give us
a well rimmed come, we will watch it. Give us
people you know, whatever, doesn't matter what they look like,
we will watch it. But this felt like, how do
(41:41):
we attract everyone to come watch this movie? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
And then and even the like the rawnchiness, a little
bit of the Australian guy, the partner of his ex girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Oh my gosh, yes, I forgot about him.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
It was definitely giving like nineteen nineties early two thousands,
like raunchy kind of comedy, just the shit he was
saying and doing and whatever. And I'm like, all right,
I don't know, it's funny because this movie has done
(42:22):
so well at the box office. It was like a
surprise it And again that's I think that's fueled. Like
I know, I went because I was curious to see, Like, Okay,
there's so much drama surrounding this, there's so much promotion
around this, I guess I have to see it. I
think a lot of it is morbid curiosity for a
(42:45):
lot of people, but obviously like they're trying to spin
it as like, oh my god, it's the revival of
the rom com and.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
That makes me feel some type of way, and especially
because I can unless my mind is my memory is
really failing me. I cannot remember one of the newer
rom coms that we've done that has actually been a
good rom com and not like a parody of some sort.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
All Right, I guess maybe Happiness for Beginners was probably
one of the better ones.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
There you go, that is that is, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
But you're right, the newer ones they're lacking. It's it's
not the same as those older ones exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
So I actually I'm glad you brought up that point
because we talked about this too, maybe a week ago
or so about how well the movie did in the
box office, and definitely agree based on the conversation we
just had, Like I think they just okay, this is
an opinion. Indeed, I'm disappointed. This feels this felt like
(43:58):
a movie. This movie didn't felt like I was made
with a lot of thought. I feel like the people
that made it were sort of just like, how do
we get people to come watch a movie. Oh yeah,
that's right, put really hot people. Nothing wrong with that.
Who cares about the plot because it'll be just funny, great,
(44:19):
that's fine, people will pay to see it. Sure, But
like again, when you talk about people that enjoy rom coms,
is like, ough, okay, that's it, because I didn't really
have a good plot, by the way, did you know?
And I just found this out because of the Wikipedia
page the movies based off of shakespeare play.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
I did notice that in the Wikipedia page, which I'm
not very I'm not familiar with that play.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
I've never read any of his works.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
So I'm not really familiar with the play.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
But I did, like I clicked on much ado about
nothing and I couldn't really follow like I was. I
literally I was reading about it like super quick. The
only thing I saw right off the bat that was
the same were their names Ben and b And in
the play his name is like Benedict and her name
(45:19):
is Beatrice. But that's the only similarity I noticed.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Oh, they're tricked into confessing their love for each other,
so like, I guess the family tricks them into eventually
admitting that they have feelings for each other. No, no,
I mean whatever creative differences is fine, we'll have the
studio talk about it later.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
It's crazy because when so when the movie started and
they meet at the coffee shop and they're hitting it off.
In any of the promos that I've seen, like the trailers,
I didn't know that they knew each other like or
that that was the case that they met and they
(46:07):
had a spark or whatever.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
So when they met, I was like, what is this
movie about?
Speaker 3 (46:14):
I thought they just like kind of knew of each
other because they were the sister and friend of this
couple and they just like She was like, ugh, I
know too much about him.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
He's such a fuck boy. I thought it was something
like that.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Oh see, that's a good plot. I would have believed
that too. Okay, Yeah, I didn't think about that. I
thought the movie started so great too, it did it.
I thought she was so funny in the bathroom. M m. Yeah. Yeah.
So I'll change the tone just a little bit here
(46:51):
because I feel like I'm really shitting on this movie,
even though I really did enjoy it. But I loved
when she sang to him when they're being rescued from
the boom after they fallen in the water. And she
sings his song. What was his song? Because she heard
it unwritten, unwritten, she heard the song coming out of
his speakers while she was on him on the plane.
(47:15):
Which again I know we briefly talked about that scene,
but like get out, somebody would notice that something that
that would be so noticeable anyway, it doesn't matter. I
loved that part. I thought that was so sweet that
she remembered. You know, it was a cute detail she
noticed of him without him telling her, and she remembered it,
(47:38):
and just I was sweet.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
It was cute, but it was still it was it
was that was one of the like.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Cringey moments for me.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
I Okay, again, I know with rom coms, it's not
always like the deepest dialogue, Like there's gonna be cheesy
lines and stuff like that, but it's all in the delivery.
I don't think she's made for rom coms. Like her,
(48:07):
the way she delivers things her voice, like there's just
a disconnect there. And so when she started doing it,
I was like, like, I definitely liked him in the
movie more than her. Me too, Like I felt like
he was funnier. I felt like he was he was
(48:28):
doing his due diligence as like a rom com lead.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (48:33):
Yeah, I need a bathroom break. Can I run to
the bathroom? Okay? And then he so for as for
as upset as he gets about her quote unquote ghosting
him in the morning, he does it to her.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
They it's after they get rescued in the harbor, and
she sings to him as they're getting pulled up into
the helicopter. They get dropped off at the house and
then they decide they're going to hang out. He makes
her grilled cheese again, and then they just.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
Go at it.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah, they go at it, and they kind of take
a page out of How to Lose Guy in Ten
Days because they get busy in the shower and forgot
about that. Then move it to the bedroom, and then
as they're snuggling in bed, she says something that I'm like,
(49:39):
why would you say that? She says something like the
things I've been doing lately tend to be mistakes or
something like that. Something basically she says it, and he
opens his eyes like what the fuck? So I kind
(49:59):
of don't blame him for being like, well, I don't
want to be something that you regret. Type of thing
and then SLINKs away.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
I don't know. It's a lot of a lot.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
Of miscommunication, a lot like the entire movie. And also
the running joke in the movie is like that he's
like this older man and he's trying to downplay He's like,
I don't know about older, like maybe twenty eight, twenty
nine or whatever, but really he's in his thirties. And
(50:36):
she when they meet, she's a college student. Yeah, so
she's in her early twenties.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I forgot about that. Thank you for mentioning that, because
I remember watching the movie now, I had this feeling of, hmmm,
I don't think this movie was made for me. It
was very like young, and then it made me feel like, oh,
maybe that's why it's so chaotic.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
But he's not young. I mean he seems.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Church sure.
Speaker 3 (51:07):
Yeah, but he's sure he's in his thirties.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
But I'm gonna go back to a point you literally
just said, there a level or the amount of miscommunication
in this movie. It's kind of annoying.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
Yeah, when her parents confront her about dropping out of school,
she immediately looks at him and she's like you told them,
and he's like no, Like he's trying to like explain himself,
but he's not doing a good job because all you
have to do is say, well, well, maybe he does
(51:43):
say like, oh I told Pete in passing, and then
Pete admits that he said something or whatever, but she's
still like she's still mad at him, as if he
told her parents.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (51:59):
Yeah, it's a lot of miscommunication, a lot of just
like selfishness, like you're making this whole thing about you.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Oh that was I would be so annoyed. And even
do you remember the fight that the brides have the
day of the wedding. It was also stage by the
brides to make him or make them feel bad that
they were like ruining their relationship, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (52:29):
No, it's it's all weird, Like these are all weird
people that don't know how to be direct and they're
like doing weird tricky things.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Yeah, I don't know. Can I tell you what the
final cherry on top from you was of this movie?
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Oh god?
Speaker 2 (52:47):
What when he jumped off the cliff?
Speaker 1 (52:49):
Oh my god, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Bro, Like you never heard of uber?
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Like, like how do you think she got there?
Speaker 1 (52:56):
She took a cab?
Speaker 2 (52:58):
I don't understand. I don't get it. I hated it.
Bro talk about it so we could talk you out
of it. Like, I don't understand it was. It was weird.
I even forgot when he jumped off, And when he
jumped off, I didn't understand. I forgot that they were rescued,
and that's what he was trying to accomplish again, to
(53:19):
get rescued and then taking in a helicopter. I didn't
understand it. It took me a second and we saw
him on the helicopter and I was.
Speaker 3 (53:25):
Like, uh yeah, Like I guess he thought that that
was the quicker way to get to the Sydney Harbor
to like have the people watching date that they were
talking about. But she got there pretty quick. You could
have just taken a car.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
Also, Pricella, I would have been okay, maybe maybe not.
I say that very loosely with that scene in a
nineties rom com, but it is twenty twenty three. Text her,
ask her where she is, confirm, say yo, I don't
see you at the wedding. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (54:06):
Uh huh?
Speaker 2 (54:07):
And she gotta be like, WHOA, Well, you were busy
with your face on Margaret's face, you know. And then
he would have been like, whoa, Actually I want to
talk about that.
Speaker 3 (54:19):
But again, they don't know how to communicate. They do
not know how to be direct with one another.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
I believe this couple has amazing sex, yes, but they're
not happy together.
Speaker 1 (54:32):
It's purely a physical yeah thing.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
Which again now I get this. No, I can't get
the thought right out of my head again, like, does
gen Z like this movie? Right? Like we are a
couple of millennials? They do?
Speaker 3 (54:48):
Wow, they do gen Z apparently, according to social media
posts that I've seen about the movie, gen Z is
used to be like the big driver behind the box
office success.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
But I feel like the movies we grew up with
it our teenage years or twenties or whatever. We're good movies, you.
Speaker 3 (55:12):
Know, a bit problematic sometimes, but overall I felt like
they had stronger plots.
Speaker 2 (55:22):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, agree, my friend. Do you want
to rate this movie?
Speaker 1 (55:29):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (55:33):
I'm giving this movie two and a half helicopters, which
is almost as many helicopters as he took in the movie.
Speaker 2 (55:48):
Oh my god, it's so long. Why weren't you in
the movie?
Speaker 3 (55:55):
Great reading timing, you know, it wasn't the worst thing
I've seen.
Speaker 2 (56:05):
It was.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
It was fun, I guess, and they're both nice to
look at. There were definitely definitely moments where I did laugh,
but just not a strong plot and very cringey, like
more cringey than I thought was enjoyable. So I definitely
(56:30):
liked him and his like I thought he did maybe
a better job of being convincing in his role than her.
But you know it, it's just you know, whatever, it's there. Adrana.
Adriana was like, it's it was okay. But she also
(56:52):
was like, I went in with zero expectations. So for her,
she was like, I mean, it was better than I
thought it was going to And that's true. I thought
it was just going to be like a complete disaster
from start to finish. Yeah, but if anybody out there
(57:15):
is interested in seeing the movie, I would say, wait
until it's on streaming.
Speaker 1 (57:19):
Do not spend money at the theater for this movie.
What do you rate it?
Speaker 2 (57:25):
We're actually really aligned with all the reasons everything because
I laughed at this movie a lot. I remember that clearly,
and I love that. You know, that's why you watch
a comedy, you know, you want to laugh your ass off.
I give this movie a three three helicopters one more
than he took about half more than because yeah, like
(57:53):
so I remember my feeling right after when when I
left the movie. My feeling was very much like that
was good. It was funny, and that was my bar
like that was good. But when I thought about specifically
putting my notes together to talk about it today with you,
I was like, ooh, there was so many cheesy things
(58:13):
that even for me felt a little like h I
can do without that. The plot sucked. There were some
redeemable moments that I liked, right like, there were parts
I really liked, but other than that, it sucked. The
lack of communication. I get it. Rom coms tend to
have a tread or a thread. What is English? A
(58:37):
thread where you know there could be a miscommunication at
some point, something like that. But this movie was filled
with miscommunication, low emotional intelligence, low emotional intelligence from the
entire cast in my opinion. And I don't want to
be disrespectful, but I guess there are people like that
(58:57):
in this world. Oh, have fun, but you are not
advited to my wedding. So yeah, I give it three
because I laughed.
Speaker 3 (59:05):
I laughed, So you made a really good point of
saying like rom coms have that the like the miscommunication
that's usually like a hilarious kind of misunderstanding, or or
it's a misunderstand like a like a truth is revealed
(59:26):
later on in the movie that's supposed to be a hurdle,
like the final hurdle that they go over before they
finally like get together. But yeah, from start to finish,
these people just are miscommunicating and there's nothing funny about
their miscommunication at all. It's just really uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
Yeah, yeah, I would also agree with you, no need
to go watch it right now, just wait. Obviously doesn't
need to make any more money.
Speaker 3 (59:58):
Right It surpassed all expectations at the box office.
Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Good for them, I guess.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Like again, I think a lot of people were just
curious to see, like I want to see how these
two were behaving in the movie to get these rumors
swirling around.
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
And yeah, I just I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
I wouldn't drop movie theater ticket money to see that movie.
Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
It's not five dollars anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
No, exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Yeah, matinees are not like quote unquote cheap anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
We paid twelve bucks.
Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
I think when I was like fifteen, and I live
in Tulsa. H I wouldn't even say it's a good
date night movie because I don't see how I would
leave the theater ready to bang.
Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
So I mean maybe if you love Glenn paw powl
Powell that much and he's looking at Sydney Sweeney, that's
the only reason you get your eye candy to kind
of get you.
Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Like, Oh, but I don't know. He's not my type.
Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
No, Glen Powell is not my type.
Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
And like I can, I can stand back and say,
like he's he's not unattractive, But now all I see
is a copy bar with abs with like crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Abs in a beautiful slide and a really nice smile,
but it's but it's totally like a douchebag smile. Yes,
you know. Have you ever seen the movie Set It
Up on Netflix? I have. That's the only other movie
I think I've seen of him where he's like the
main guy. I like that movie more.
Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Yes, I was gonna say I like him better in
that movie.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Yeah, yeah, that was anyone but this movie.
Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
So I wasn't sure.
Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
When we talked about it and you said that you
had seen it, I wasn't sure because when you were like,
I liked it. It was you know, it was funny
or whatever. I wasn't sure how much you liked it,
because when I walked out of the theater, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
God about Yeah, I'm about to break Jun's heart.
Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
We're not going to have the same score, but I'm
glad that we were pretty much aligned with everything.
Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Yeah, and I feel like I've been very lenient. You know,
fans of our podcast will know that I had a
very specific metroks system again grading system except you know whatever.
But I've been more lenient because I'm just leaning into
the love of a rom com in the Magic. So
(01:02:57):
this might be one of my lowest ratings in a
little bit. Now, I feel like so same for you.
I feel like you've been You've been. We've been in
this together, you know, we've been believing in the rom coms. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
I haven't gone lower than three in a bit.
Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
I still remember Shotgun Wedding mm hmm. I will not
forget the way my heart shattered.
Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
I just couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
But even that movie, I found it funnier.
Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Yes, I think I found that funnier then, But it.
Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Was also such a crazy plot that you're like, yeah,
this is crazy. Sure, this is funny because it's crazy.

for friends. Jendavrs and Priscilla Wilson get together to discuss
all things rom coms, from the classics to the latest releases.
We'll be diving deep into the world of romantic comedies.
(00:24):
I was putting together my notes because I watched a
movie but I didn't really like. I just enjoyed it,
didn't really pay attention to take notes. So I was
putting together my notes and I don't know, I won't
spoil it for you, but I kind of got frustrated.
So I'm excited to talk about it today so that
we can we mean dive in. Yeah. Yeah. By the way,
(00:52):
this is our twentieth episode, the Congratulations by Congrats, and
this is also releasing about a year since our last released,
Yes Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
A year of podcasting.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's been so fun.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It has been so fun. I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Cheers to another twenty episodes and another year. Yeah, all right,
my friend, would you like to tell us a little
bit about the movie we are discussing today.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
This episode, we are covering the New Sydney Sweeney and
Glenn Powell rom com anyone but you, which has been
getting crazy amount of press and promotion, which was really
weird to just always see things about this movie. I
was very confused by it, so of course I had
(01:50):
to go see it to see what everybody was talking about.
But this movie is basically about two people who do
not care for one another and are kind of forced
to be around each other due to her sister and
his friend getting together and.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Getting married and.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
The people in their life trying to get them together
in order to make them behave and not ruin everybody's
experience of this wedding. And that's I mean, that's basically
the plot. So they go along with it and fake
the relationship and then end up, you know, end up following.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So it was.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Spoiler alert like a true rem com.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yes, it was. It was something. It was something.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I can't wait to hear what you think of this movie.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'm very excited to talk about it. I I know
we talked about before doing this movie, and we talked
about the press and all that stuff, right, And I
remembered as I was putting the notes together, and I
don't know if we talked about it when we talked
about it then, but I actually didn't see anything, if
(03:18):
not around just their drama, but nothing else really, maybe
like a few posts. So I'm intrigued about why our
algorithms are so different when it comes to rom coms.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I was definitely seeing a lot more pop up on
my TikTok feed because yeah, like first and foremost, there
was all that drama surrounding the main actors, Glenn Powell
and Sidney Sweeney. There were a bunch of rumors going
around that their chemistry was like a little bit too much,
(03:58):
and the assumption was that they were having an affair
while they were filming. Both of them, I believe both
of them were engaged to other people. She I think
she's still with the guy, while the one that she
(04:19):
was engaged to while all this was happening, he's no
longer with the girl and she his ex fiance, Like
they broke up in the middle of all that, and
she like stopped following Sydney Sweeney and everything. So that
got everybody else in a tizzy again because they were like,
oh shit, something really must have happened. Full I'm gonna
(04:43):
be totally upfront with all the promotion that has that
I have seen on social media because I'm like, what
is this. I'm like, I've never seen so much press
and promotion for a movie before since like the Marvel days,
where like you just saw the Marl like everybody in
(05:05):
Marvel promoting the hell out of all those movies.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
This was like it almost felt.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Like that level, just because it was constantly like thrown
in my face and I'm like, why are they doing
so much press.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
For a rom com?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But I absolutely believe that they were fucking around for sure.
For sure, Adriana and I both looked at each other
and were like, Oh, they absoluutely were sleeping together.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, well, so I will have to go look at
this content because from what I saw my according to
my algorithm, I was like, oh, I think this is
just like Hollywood trying to like create some drama for
the movie, but not to put my tinfoil hat on.
But I was like, putting my notes together, I'm like,
(05:58):
wait a minute. Priscilla and I have talked about this.
She saw all this promo and I'm like I didn't.
I barely saw anything. So I'm like this algorithm, I'm
intrigued because we both have our meet cute stuff on
our phone. So I'm not gonna I'm gonna stop a day.
I'm not gonna put my tinfoil hat on. But I
was like, something is fishy here, something is going on
(06:22):
with the algorithm, and I'm going to get to the
bottom of it another day. But yeah, I don't know,
but you know what, maybe they were And I don't
blame them because they're both very good looking. That sounds
really wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But Sydney Sweeney is so beautiful, like she like she's
just striking. Like you see her and you're like, whoa
mm hmm. I hate her voice. Yes, I feel like
she has a cotton ball in her Yes, yes, it
(06:58):
sounds like, yeah, it absolutely sounds like she's got like
marble mouth. Glenn Powell, I feel he'll like mixed things
about him. I think he I think he's pleasant enough.
I don't think he's unattractive, Like I look at him
and I'm like, he's attractive, and definitely his body's like insane.
(07:23):
But I saw something. I saw something posted and now
I can't unsee it. Somebody said that Glenn Powell looks
like the human version of a copy bar, and I
can't unsee it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I said it to my sister right as the movie
was starting, and she's she was started laughing, and then
she was like, why did you tell me that, because
now that's.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
All I've seen. Oh no, he does.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He does look like a copy.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Bera oh no. And I thought, Okay, wow, that sucks
because I'm like, oh, he's so attractive, but now I can't.
I can only imagine him playing the live action version
of a movie. Oh and the.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Other things that I've seen him in. He kind of
plays the same type of person, like do she always
there's always a reason for his clothes to be coming off.
I also read somewhere that they were comparing somebody was
(08:38):
comparing him to Matthew McConaughey and saying that he's the
new Matthew McConaughey, because when you know, Matthew McConaughey had
that whole He kind of started his career in rom coms.
So they were like, oh, he's he's the new Matthew McConaughey.
He's even from Texas and all that stuff. Do not
disrespect Matthew mcconaughe. These men are not the same.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I mean, okay, okay, I'll give you this one thing.
Perhaps I don't know Glenn Powell well enough to know
what he does. You know, maybe I'll go look up
some YouTube videos to find out, like does he journal?
What does he think about life? You know? I not
(09:23):
only I still find Matthew McConaughey obviously very attractive, but
like he has so much death to him, So like,
I don't know that, you know, we gotta be careful
throwing these comparisons around.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah, people were not happy to see that that posted.
A lot of comments were made about how disrespectful that was.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Why do I feel like Glenn, Polo and Sydney are
are gonna hear this? So I'm like, I'm sorry, guys,
you're great. I yeah, no, I don't know. I mean,
you know what, Glenn slide into the d MS and
tell us if you journal? Oh god, okay, I have
(10:10):
to ask you. I'm gonna ask you this right now.
Then before we get into the movie, did you have
a favorite character.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The dog?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The dog was working over time.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The way that answered, just like it's like for someone
to ask you that question, you needed to let it out.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Here's the dog for me?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
This was the dog. Yeah, don't judge me, what dog?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Are you kidding me? That dog was front and center.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I don't remember the dog. Where were all done? Whose
dog was it?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm gonna assume it was the bride's parents, the people
who own the beach house.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What kind of dog was it? Why am I blanking
on this dog?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I think it was like an Australian shepherd. It was
really cute. And Ben Glenn Powell's friend, who's the cousin.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He's the cousin.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I think Pete. Yes, he's the brother of the.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Of the bride ride. Yeah, he's always with that dog.
The dog is always next to him.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
They were trying.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
They kept like waving a little fox toy in front
of him. They were like training it to do something.
But that dog is in every scene.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I have to google it and I cannot find this
dog anywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Also, the dog's name, I.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Was I wasn't sure till like the very end, when
the credits were rolling and you you know, you see
the cast and credits and stuff like that, and at
the end of the cast list was the name of
the dog and the name of the dog's character. The
dog's name in the movie is Clonipin, which if I'm
(12:21):
not mistaken. That's like a drug, like an like a
I don't want to say the wrong thing, like an
antidepressant or something. Clonipin is, Yeah, it's like a it's
for like panic or anxiety and seizures. But the dog
(12:45):
was named Klonipin. And I kept every time they said it,
I was like, there's no.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Way the dog's name is clonopin. And then at the end,
I was like, oh my god, it really was.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But the dog's my very character. She was doing a
really great job.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So I can't find her on Google at all. Them
my pictures of her, and this girl lives a private life.
I cannot remember a dog at all in this movie.
I might have to go. Oh, I'll wait till it
come back.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The dog was the ring bearer.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Wow, I didn't even know there was a ring bearer,
Like I do. I forgot the wedding.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I'm gonna I'm gonna find this damn dog and I'm
gonna send it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I need to please do because I need to see
the dog. And Okay, so the dog's your favorite character.
Got it understood? We should end this year?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Who was your favorite?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I like Pete because he was so like just grounded.
So yeah, obviously don't remember the dog. But maybe if
I remember the dog, maybe the dog would have been
my favorite character too. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I really I just love like how prominent the dog
was in each sea, Like Adriana and I were like
laughing about it because she'd.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Be like, there's that dog. That dog is right there.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Wow. I don't remember the dog at all.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And the dog's the reason. The dog's the reason why
the wedding cake fell on the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I remember that happening. Oh, I was trying to pull
the little fox. I remember that. Still can't picture the dog,
but I remember that. Well, shall we talk about this
scene that broke my heart? It's obviously you know exactly
(14:37):
what I'm going to talk about. I think because broke
my heart. But I thought it was very well done
in the sense of that felt very real when you
know they spend their time together. And at the beginning
of the movie, when they first meet at the coffee
shop and they spend all day together, she comes over
to his place. He makes her a girl cheese and
(15:01):
they spend the night together. They don't do anything, they
just sleep together. She runs off that morning like if
she just robbed a bank and.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, yeah, she did a whole walk of shame, which
she didn't really even have to do at all.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't know why that felt so real to me
because I'm like, I believed her in that moment. I
believed that she was so nervous, didn't know what to do.
And then she's on the phone talking about it, and
then she's like, wait, what did I do? So she
comes back and then of course he's disappointed that she
just like left, because he was starting to he was
(15:41):
very vulnerable, talked about his mother and obviously he has
that fuck boy personality, so that was very unusual for him,
and so he just felt stupid. So again, I just
thought it was very real for both of them. Right,
She's like in the clouds, wasn't sure what she was doing,
walks out. He is vulnerable, feels betrayed.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, it's crazy to think that the whole premise of
this movie results from a huge miscommunication.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yes, yeah, they hate each other.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Because Jen, it sounds like the aliens have come to
pick you up.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It looks like they've picked Tulsa as their first place.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Like if they had just communicated, I don't know, I mean,
she didn't leave because she didn't like him. She was like,
I don't know what to do, So she left, and
she didn't get very far. Like she gets on the
phone with her sister and she's like so excited because
she's like, oh my god, like there was such a
(16:52):
connection with this guy, Like she was pretty excited about this,
and they were like they were so cute, Like they're
just vibing in the coffee shop, like it was like
the first date of your dreams, you know what I mean,
Like where everything was just like you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Don't want the night to end. Yeah, fell asleep because
you just right your body couldn't anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
So she wasn't running away because she had a curfew
or like you know what I mean. She was just
like I don't know how to handle this, so I'm
gonna leave. But as she's like telling her sister, she
like you said, immediately she's like, I'm so stupid. Why
(17:38):
did I Why do I run away? Let me just
go back. She goes back. The door's like wide open in.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
The middle of the street, right, so the doors wide open,
and of course she walks in right.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
At the part where Ben obviously he has like a
wounded ego and he feels like he needs to save
face in front of Pee where he's like, that was
like a nothing girl, like she didn't mean anything to me.
It was basically Kenna talking about her.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Would you would you do what she did and.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Just kind of like stay quiet and walk away or
would you be like confrontational.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
About one hundred percent confrontational? Yeah, yeah, I'd be like, oh,
how fucking nice your piece of shit? I'm such a lady. No,
but okay, So, so the scene for so real because
(18:46):
I could see myself doing something like that, running out
thinking like oh my gosh, like I'm so embarrassed, like
what happened, you know whatever? Like I would, I would
probably run out feeling silly that like, oh my gosh,
I like overstayed my welcome in this guy's house and
thinking he probably wanted me gone a long time ago. Right,
(19:08):
But I feel like at that moment, after spending that
much time together, we are friends. I'm sorry, but this
is the laws of kindergarten still apply. We're friends, right, right?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
How could you be so comfortable and vulnerable with somebody
the night before and there was no alcohol involved, So
it's not like it's not like either one of you
were like, oh my god, I overshared because I was
so fucked up, Like there was nothing like that. So, like,
I do get the I do get the awkwardness in
(19:44):
the morning, but it's like you guys fell asleep cuddling, Like,
do you think he's gonna wake up and be like
get the fuck out of here?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Like I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I just don't know he was gonna like kick you
out of his house or anything.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I mean I get yeah, yeah, I like, what
would you do? Would you have stayed quiet? I don't
think so.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I wouldn't have stayed quiet, But I'm not entirely sure
that like I would be coming in swinging or anything.
But I like, to me, I'm like, I wouldn't be
happy to hear what he's saying. However, if the connection
(20:29):
was really like this major thing that you are talking
about that you're telling your sister like oh my god,
this felt so different, Oh my god, that like it
seems so special and whatever, if I heard him saying that,
I would just I'd be like, well, that's bullshit, like
(20:51):
and you like you would just know that it's bullshit.
So I think I would come in and just be like, hey,
what's up.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I'm back, Like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I think I'm not entirely sure that I would be
like yelling at him or something in front of his
friend or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I think I would just be honest.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Like I would like to think that I wouldn't be
so aggressive about coming in.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Immediately. I'm like, I'm about to confront you because we're besties.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Like, listen, we really got to know each other last night,
and this doesn't sound like you.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
This doesn't like I think it's coming from a place
I hurt yesterday, hurt people, hurt people.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, Like
I think, I really think I would be honest. I
would take that opportunity to to be like, listen, I
I'm back because I feel stupid for running out. There
was no reason for me to run out, so.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That there their whole interaction and the hole misunderstand. I
was like, Okay, that's where it ended for me, because
I'm like, Okay, that feels real. Sure, that feels right,
Like it's so much and even I understand, you walk
away and you don't see him again, you know, so
you sort of out of sight out of mind that happened.
It's a story to tell. I have a problem with
(22:18):
the whole premise of the movie, which is the hostility
that then happens.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yes, yeah, it seems it seems way over the top.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
For what it really was.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Like you don't need okay, okay, here's here's what the
energy doesn't match for me. You spend one day with
this person. You don't have the boss to talk about
what happened, but you have no problem being angry at
this person over one day that you spent together. And
they made one comment. Do you see what I mean? Like,
(22:52):
if you put it in one box, Yeah, you spent
one whole day together, you have a connection. But you
also spent one whole day together and immediately you hate
this person because of one common thing.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
But that but that is another reason why I don't
think I would necessarily be coming in hot mm hmm.
If I heard what he said, you know what I mean,
I'd be like, all right, like, let's calm down. I'm sorry,
this is my bad, Like I shouldn't have done that.
But yeah, like she they see each other and and
(23:24):
she's like calling him a fuck boy and stuff, and
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, That's what I'm saying. When was that energy before? Right,
it's been six months, a girl, get over it, right,
If you didn't have that energy that one day, move on,
get over it. Hi, it's nice to see you again.
Let it go. But again, we wouldn't have the wrong
come without it, So I understand, but I have a
(23:49):
big problem with it.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I do too, And also, like you know, they they
don't have an actual conversation about that stuff until much
later in the movie. I think it's when they're like
waiting for the rescue helicopter in the harbor, right, they're
they're sitting, They're sitting on the buoy in the water, waiting,
(24:14):
and I think they were, like I think they were
talking about that.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I think so too. I vaguely remember that conversation. I
want to say they talked about it, but I maybe
wasn't even like as clear, which is another issue with
this couple, right, Like how happy was this ending?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Because communication, Yeah, it's it's lacking. There's a lot of miscommunication.
But like I would think these two are getting confrontational
in that club after, you know, after it's been six months,
she's calling him a fuck boy or whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
But I feel like when he he makes mention like, oh,
you know, she abandons people, bull she slips out in
the middle of the night or whatever, I would address that,
I'd be like, right there, right like, she doesn't, she
doesn't even acknowledge really that part. She just keeps attacking
(25:15):
him for being a boy or something. And I'm like,
if you just like took five minutes and cleared the
air to be like, listen, this is this is what
I did because of X, Y and Z, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, And now that we're talking about this again, this
is one of my biggest gripes with this movie. They
pretty much made this whole wedding trip about them because
they couldn't just sit down and talk exactly. This is ridiculous,
this is I disliked it a lot. I Again, I
(25:56):
think if the movie would have had a different premise, know,
maybe have them date for a bit and then you know,
you end wrong for whatever reason, sure, and you can
redeem from there. But the reason they cost so much chaos.
It's stupid to me, It's ridiculous. It doesn't make any
freaking sense that I would be that immature to cause
(26:20):
chaos at my siblings wedding weekend while we're staying with
her in laws. Forget it, but it runs in the family.
It runs in the family because her parents.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
M h and it's your favorite.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You ready?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, we had a big Garman moment.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay, I.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Did you I was about to tell you that I
liked him, did you? Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I he didn't. I thought he was like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I thought he was stupid, and I don't like the parents,
like the parents were being really inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yes, also taking like again, it runs in the family, right,
because they have her ex fiance show up to the
wedding weekend, like where are the cues here? Your daughter
literally just had a weird fort Fi with this guy
(27:32):
in front of you, you know, sorry and not again
too far away. But I did like him a lot
in this movie because he didn't seem so sneaky. And
we've talked about this before. In the other movies he does.
He has a sneaky look and his character is sneaky,
but in this song, I just thought he looked good.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I mean, yes, he's he's so handsome, He's always been handsome.
But it's funny that you that you think he's not
sneaky in this movie, because Adriana and I were like
cracking up because we know that you don't like him
and that you think that he's sneaky, and I'm like,
he's really sneaky in this movie because he's like doing
(28:11):
weird shit behind her back, and so I think it's
hilarious that we are we do not agree about that
in this movie.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, I was surprised. I was surprised that you did
not like him in this movie.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Actually, yeah, I like him in so many things, but
I don't I didn't like his role in this movie
at all.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I can understand that because her parents were weird, were
very weird. I thought, I thought comically weird, which was
I feel like it's respectful, but there are.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
They're like they're trying to force this, like her reconciling
with her ex, and I think it's weird that her
ex would go along with it, like what are you doing? No,
that's it's really it is really disrespectful and weird and shady,
(29:10):
and it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So now, yeah, again my issue with the movie, like overall, Pricella,
I don't know if this happened to you guys. I
laughed a lot in the movie. There were so many
moments that I was like, ah, that's funny, Like that's cute,
you know.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
I I did absolutely have moments where I was like laughing.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Out loud at this movie.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But in general, I don't like the plot. I think
it was weird because it just seemed like a really
flimsy reason why they're pretending to be together, and like
nobody knows that they're together, but then like the the
(30:00):
sister and the bride and like everybody's working together to
like get them together.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I just think, like, why don't you just walk up
to these people and be like stop being a piece
of shit, Like this is my day. Why are you
trying to get them together? Why are you trying to
get them to fall in love? Is it's the only
way for two people to like not ruin a wedding.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah, I am one hundred percent in agreement with you.
The movie had its moments, but it was so stupid.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, I think I think it was just an excuse
to have two hot people, yeah, like touch each other
and be half naked, and it was just like just
really weird reasons and even the things that they were
doing to try to convince everybody around them that they
(30:55):
were like really into each other, were.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Like weird, they were so weird.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
The whole hiking scene where they're standing on the cliff
and they are literally in each other's pants.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I was like that. That entire sequence went on way
too long.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yes, Like they literally were digging around in each other's asses,
and they were doing it to try to convince the
people that they were hiking with.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
But the people they were hiking with, they.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Weren't even paying They weren't paying attention. They were just
staring at a koala bear that was in a nearby tree.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Also, what kind of friends do you have that you
have to stick your finger and someone else has asked
in front of them so that they believe that you
are with that person.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I between that sequence the whole We're really gonna convince
everybody if we go to the front of this yah
and protect and to play out the Titanic.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I I couldn't, No, I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
If I saw that in real life, I would laugh.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I would be like, who the fuck are these people?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Like?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I don't look at that and think, Wow, they're so romantic.
They must be so in love for just standing like
a couple assholes at the front of a boat with
their arms open. She fell in and rightfully, so you
got what you deserve. Bitch, What are you doing up there?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Nobody seemed to notice that she went into the water
except for him. It took them kind of a while
to realize that they were in the water.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Oh horrible, I'd be screaming my head off.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Yeah, especially you're in Australia. Hell of sharks in that water. Ooh,
I would be terrified.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Screaming my head off. No, I again, I'm sorry I
keep saying this. I enjoy the movie. I laughed so much.
It was there was moments that were cute, everything. But
when you take a thirty thousand foot view at this movie,
the plot sucked in the way that people reacted around
the plot sucked. It was it was an excuse ab
(33:28):
I'm kidding, but it just it really did. It really did?
It wasn't It didn't feel I get, you know, the
comedy aspect of it, and you can still have the
comedy aspect while still giving a really good romantic plot.
And I feel like this movie was just so I
(33:50):
was just doing it for the plot, I guess, just
trying to be funny, not think, not like really like
like I don't believe those two are still together, you know,
I don't they were in love. Maybe they were lust
but not in love.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I was gonna say their their chemistry was real, Like
I do feel like they were attracted to each other, yes, yeah,
but it was just weird.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
It just felt really I don't know, I felt.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Awkward in a lot of the movie, Like watching it,
I kept looking at my sister and I'm like, this
is really cringey.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Like at certain areas.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm like, this is cringey. I don't, like, I feel
very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
There was a guy in the movie theater by the way,
in our row.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I think he was there with his wife. That man
was having the time of his life.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
He was laughing.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Hysterically at every thing.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And I'm like, you know what, good for that guy.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He's really just enjoying everything.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I feel like that was me, Like I was like,
oh my god, ha. But then you had moments like
the Titanic moment, like all the chaos of the wedding,
like all the guests trying to the family, trying to
make them get together like it was. It was a
good movie in that sense, like I was laughing, there
was good comedic timing like it was good. But gosh,
(35:20):
it sucked alright, But you know what, there are people
like that in this world. So maybe this is someone's
real life. I don't want to be invited. I'd rather
stay home. But this is someone's real life. Just sucks.
If I let put it this way, my friend, if
I ever see you trying to act like that like her,
(35:44):
I would put you to the side and say, let
me check your temperature. You don't feel well right now,
we need to take you home.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
You have full permission to slap me in my face.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Hard done. I'm writing that down.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, I won't, only if I were to be so
stupid like it was.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It was.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
It wasn't convincing, you know what I mean. Like they
were laying it on too thick. Their family was laying
it on way too thick.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
It was just I don't know, it's just stupid.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah. No, let me ask you about a scene. Yeah,
because I thought it was funny, as in I'm laughing
at that's happening. But in the scene itself, I'm like, oh,
it's so stupid. The airplane when she's get stuck on him.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, it was stupid.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It was stupid obviously, Like you know, they put her
in these really compromising sexual positions. I almost feel bad
for her because everything, everything that she does is like
(37:01):
hyper sexualized her Sidney Sweeney, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Now.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
A lot of people know her from Euphoria. I've never
seen Euphoria. Maybe it's very very sexual show about high schoolers.
I first saw her in I think it was the
second season of Handmaid's Tale. So she plays this like
(37:28):
I think her character is supposed to be like a
fifteen or sixteen year old, Like she was great in it,
but it was like, you know, she's fully covered up.
It's I don't know if you've ever seen the show
or the very least know what it's about, but like
she's it's nothing sexual like that for her character, Like
(37:50):
she's this very naive, innocent girl living in a really
fucked up environment. So that's where I first was introduced
to her. And then I remember seeing her Instagram account
and I was like, wow, like she's beautiful. I had
(38:11):
no idea that that was the body she had under
those like frumpy clothes that her character wears, and now
I feel like everything I see her in they're just
always putting her in these compromising positions. Adrian and I
were talking about how the entirety of this movie, her
(38:33):
clothes are like too small for her. Her bikini, the
part where they go to swim to the yacht to
get the sunglasses or whatever, and then they start talking about, like,
you know what, we should just do it. We should
just pretend like they won and were into each other.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Her bathing suit.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
You can tell that the top is way too tight,
slash is too small for her because whenever they showed
her like her back, that strap, the like bra strap
is high as shit up on her back. I kind
I feel bad for her, kind of like they're putting
(39:19):
her into these dresses that are just a little bit
too small for her so that she's spilling out. I
think she even I think she even made mention once
because she was like addressing some comments that people were
leaving where they were basically telling her to like wear
clothes that fit, and she was like, you know what,
(39:43):
sometimes designers send outfits for me to wear on the
red carpet and stuff, but they're not like custom made
for me, they're sample sizes that are being sent and
I have no choice but to like stuff myself in
to these dresses that aren't my perfect size. So yeah,
(40:04):
I do, like I do look like even more slutty
or something because she has a big chest to begin with. Yeah,
it's kind of hard to not look like a slut
when you already have a big chest. So there is
a there is a part of me that just feels
bad for her because now, like they sexualize her all
(40:27):
the time, And that's the entirety of this movie. It
was sexualizing that both of them. Like he's stripping, he's
he got completely naked for the Spider par and every
time you see him he's shirtless and doing exercises and crunches.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
On the beach.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
And I don't know, Like, yeah, I get it, their
eye candy. They're nice to look at, But at the
same time, I'm like, these people are gonna be stuck
being put into this position for every little thing.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
That mm hmmmm hmm. See this is going off from
your point basis. This is one of the reasons, this
is one of the reasons we do this podcast. Rom
Coms are work of art. They are not meant to
be ridiculed. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy. Okay,
(41:20):
this kind of stuff makes it look like this is
how we get people to come watch a rom Come
otherwise and won't watch it. No, no, no, no no. Give us
a well rimmed come, we will watch it. Give us
people you know, whatever, doesn't matter what they look like,
we will watch it. But this felt like, how do
(41:41):
we attract everyone to come watch this movie? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
And then and even the like the rawnchiness, a little
bit of the Australian guy, the partner of his ex girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Oh my gosh, yes, I forgot about him.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
It was definitely giving like nineteen nineties early two thousands,
like raunchy kind of comedy, just the shit he was
saying and doing and whatever. And I'm like, all right,
I don't know, it's funny because this movie has done
(42:22):
so well at the box office. It was like a
surprise it And again that's I think that's fueled. Like
I know, I went because I was curious to see, Like, Okay,
there's so much drama surrounding this, there's so much promotion
around this, I guess I have to see it. I
think a lot of it is morbid curiosity for a
(42:45):
lot of people, but obviously like they're trying to spin
it as like, oh my god, it's the revival of
the rom com and.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
That makes me feel some type of way, and especially
because I can unless my mind is my memory is
really failing me. I cannot remember one of the newer
rom coms that we've done that has actually been a
good rom com and not like a parody of some sort.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
All Right, I guess maybe Happiness for Beginners was probably
one of the better ones.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
There you go, that is that is, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
But you're right, the newer ones they're lacking. It's it's
not the same as those older ones exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
So I actually I'm glad you brought up that point
because we talked about this too, maybe a week ago
or so about how well the movie did in the
box office, and definitely agree based on the conversation we
just had, Like I think they just okay, this is
an opinion. Indeed, I'm disappointed. This feels this felt like
(43:58):
a movie. This movie didn't felt like I was made
with a lot of thought. I feel like the people
that made it were sort of just like, how do
we get people to come watch a movie. Oh yeah,
that's right, put really hot people. Nothing wrong with that.
Who cares about the plot because it'll be just funny, great,
(44:19):
that's fine, people will pay to see it. Sure, But
like again, when you talk about people that enjoy rom coms,
is like, ough, okay, that's it, because I didn't really
have a good plot, by the way, did you know?
And I just found this out because of the Wikipedia
page the movies based off of shakespeare play.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
I did notice that in the Wikipedia page, which I'm
not very I'm not familiar with that play.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
I've never read any of his works.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
So I'm not really familiar with the play.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
But I did, like I clicked on much ado about
nothing and I couldn't really follow like I was. I
literally I was reading about it like super quick. The
only thing I saw right off the bat that was
the same were their names Ben and b And in
the play his name is like Benedict and her name
(45:19):
is Beatrice. But that's the only similarity I noticed.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Oh, they're tricked into confessing their love for each other,
so like, I guess the family tricks them into eventually
admitting that they have feelings for each other. No, no,
I mean whatever creative differences is fine, we'll have the
studio talk about it later.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
It's crazy because when so when the movie started and
they meet at the coffee shop and they're hitting it off.
In any of the promos that I've seen, like the trailers,
I didn't know that they knew each other like or
that that was the case that they met and they
(46:07):
had a spark or whatever.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
So when they met, I was like, what is this
movie about?
Speaker 3 (46:14):
I thought they just like kind of knew of each
other because they were the sister and friend of this
couple and they just like She was like, ugh, I
know too much about him.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
He's such a fuck boy. I thought it was something
like that.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Oh see, that's a good plot. I would have believed
that too. Okay, Yeah, I didn't think about that. I
thought the movie started so great too, it did it.
I thought she was so funny in the bathroom. M m. Yeah. Yeah.
So I'll change the tone just a little bit here
(46:51):
because I feel like I'm really shitting on this movie,
even though I really did enjoy it. But I loved
when she sang to him when they're being rescued from
the boom after they fallen in the water. And she
sings his song. What was his song? Because she heard
it unwritten, unwritten, she heard the song coming out of
his speakers while she was on him on the plane.
(47:15):
Which again I know we briefly talked about that scene,
but like get out, somebody would notice that something that
that would be so noticeable anyway, it doesn't matter. I
loved that part. I thought that was so sweet that
she remembered. You know, it was a cute detail she
noticed of him without him telling her, and she remembered it,
(47:38):
and just I was sweet.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
It was cute, but it was still it was it
was that was one of the like.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Cringey moments for me.
Speaker 3 (47:47):
I Okay, again, I know with rom coms, it's not
always like the deepest dialogue, Like there's gonna be cheesy
lines and stuff like that, but it's all in the delivery.
I don't think she's made for rom coms. Like her,
(48:07):
the way she delivers things her voice, like there's just
a disconnect there. And so when she started doing it,
I was like, like, I definitely liked him in the
movie more than her. Me too, Like I felt like
he was funnier. I felt like he was he was
(48:28):
doing his due diligence as like a rom com lead.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (48:33):
Yeah, I need a bathroom break. Can I run to
the bathroom? Okay? And then he so for as for
as upset as he gets about her quote unquote ghosting
him in the morning, he does it to her.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
They it's after they get rescued in the harbor, and
she sings to him as they're getting pulled up into
the helicopter. They get dropped off at the house and
then they decide they're going to hang out. He makes
her grilled cheese again, and then they just.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
Go at it.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah, they go at it, and they kind of take
a page out of How to Lose Guy in Ten
Days because they get busy in the shower and forgot
about that. Then move it to the bedroom, and then
as they're snuggling in bed, she says something that I'm like,
(49:39):
why would you say that? She says something like the
things I've been doing lately tend to be mistakes or
something like that. Something basically she says it, and he
opens his eyes like what the fuck? So I kind
(49:59):
of don't blame him for being like, well, I don't
want to be something that you regret. Type of thing
and then SLINKs away.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
I don't know. It's a lot of a lot.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
Of miscommunication, a lot like the entire movie. And also
the running joke in the movie is like that he's
like this older man and he's trying to downplay He's like,
I don't know about older, like maybe twenty eight, twenty
nine or whatever, but really he's in his thirties. And
(50:36):
she when they meet, she's a college student. Yeah, so
she's in her early twenties.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I forgot about that. Thank you for mentioning that, because
I remember watching the movie now, I had this feeling of, hmmm,
I don't think this movie was made for me. It
was very like young, and then it made me feel like, oh,
maybe that's why it's so chaotic.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
But he's not young. I mean he seems.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Church sure.
Speaker 3 (51:07):
Yeah, but he's sure he's in his thirties.
Speaker 2 (51:12):
But I'm gonna go back to a point you literally
just said, there a level or the amount of miscommunication
in this movie. It's kind of annoying.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
Yeah, when her parents confront her about dropping out of school,
she immediately looks at him and she's like you told them,
and he's like no, Like he's trying to like explain himself,
but he's not doing a good job because all you
have to do is say, well, well, maybe he does
(51:43):
say like, oh I told Pete in passing, and then
Pete admits that he said something or whatever, but she's
still like she's still mad at him, as if he
told her parents.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (51:59):
Yeah, it's a lot of miscommunication, a lot of just
like selfishness, like you're making this whole thing about you.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Oh that was I would be so annoyed. And even
do you remember the fight that the brides have the
day of the wedding. It was also stage by the
brides to make him or make them feel bad that
they were like ruining their relationship, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (52:29):
No, it's it's all weird, Like these are all weird
people that don't know how to be direct and they're
like doing weird tricky things.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Yeah, I don't know. Can I tell you what the
final cherry on top from you was of this movie?
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Oh god?
Speaker 2 (52:47):
What when he jumped off the cliff?
Speaker 1 (52:49):
Oh my god, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Bro, Like you never heard of uber?
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Like, like how do you think she got there?
Speaker 1 (52:56):
She took a cab?
Speaker 2 (52:58):
I don't understand. I don't get it. I hated it.
Bro talk about it so we could talk you out
of it. Like, I don't understand it was. It was weird.
I even forgot when he jumped off, And when he
jumped off, I didn't understand. I forgot that they were rescued,
and that's what he was trying to accomplish again, to
(53:19):
get rescued and then taking in a helicopter. I didn't
understand it. It took me a second and we saw
him on the helicopter and I was.
Speaker 3 (53:25):
Like, uh yeah, Like I guess he thought that that
was the quicker way to get to the Sydney Harbor
to like have the people watching date that they were
talking about. But she got there pretty quick. You could
have just taken a car.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
Also, Pricella, I would have been okay, maybe maybe not.
I say that very loosely with that scene in a
nineties rom com, but it is twenty twenty three. Text her,
ask her where she is, confirm, say yo, I don't
see you at the wedding. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (54:06):
Uh huh?
Speaker 2 (54:07):
And she gotta be like, WHOA, Well, you were busy
with your face on Margaret's face, you know. And then
he would have been like, whoa, Actually I want to
talk about that.
Speaker 3 (54:19):
But again, they don't know how to communicate. They do
not know how to be direct with one another.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
I believe this couple has amazing sex, yes, but they're
not happy together.
Speaker 1 (54:32):
It's purely a physical yeah thing.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
Which again now I get this. No, I can't get
the thought right out of my head again, like, does
gen Z like this movie? Right? Like we are a
couple of millennials? They do?
Speaker 3 (54:48):
Wow, they do gen Z apparently, according to social media
posts that I've seen about the movie, gen Z is
used to be like the big driver behind the box
office success.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
But I feel like the movies we grew up with
it our teenage years or twenties or whatever. We're good movies, you.
Speaker 3 (55:12):
Know, a bit problematic sometimes, but overall I felt like
they had stronger plots.
Speaker 2 (55:22):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, agree, my friend. Do you want
to rate this movie?
Speaker 1 (55:29):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (55:33):
I'm giving this movie two and a half helicopters, which
is almost as many helicopters as he took in the movie.
Speaker 2 (55:48):
Oh my god, it's so long. Why weren't you in
the movie?
Speaker 3 (55:55):
Great reading timing, you know, it wasn't the worst thing
I've seen.
Speaker 2 (56:05):
It was.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
It was fun, I guess, and they're both nice to
look at. There were definitely definitely moments where I did laugh,
but just not a strong plot and very cringey, like
more cringey than I thought was enjoyable. So I definitely
(56:30):
liked him and his like I thought he did maybe
a better job of being convincing in his role than her.
But you know it, it's just you know, whatever, it's there. Adrana.
Adriana was like, it's it was okay. But she also
(56:52):
was like, I went in with zero expectations. So for her,
she was like, I mean, it was better than I
thought it was going to And that's true. I thought
it was just going to be like a complete disaster
from start to finish. Yeah, but if anybody out there
(57:15):
is interested in seeing the movie, I would say, wait
until it's on streaming.
Speaker 1 (57:19):
Do not spend money at the theater for this movie.
What do you rate it?
Speaker 2 (57:25):
We're actually really aligned with all the reasons everything because
I laughed at this movie a lot. I remember that clearly,
and I love that. You know, that's why you watch
a comedy, you know, you want to laugh your ass off.
I give this movie a three three helicopters one more
than he took about half more than because yeah, like
(57:53):
so I remember my feeling right after when when I
left the movie. My feeling was very much like that
was good. It was funny, and that was my bar
like that was good. But when I thought about specifically
putting my notes together to talk about it today with you,
I was like, ooh, there was so many cheesy things
(58:13):
that even for me felt a little like h I
can do without that. The plot sucked. There were some
redeemable moments that I liked, right like, there were parts
I really liked, but other than that, it sucked. The
lack of communication. I get it. Rom coms tend to
have a tread or a thread. What is English? A
(58:37):
thread where you know there could be a miscommunication at
some point, something like that. But this movie was filled
with miscommunication, low emotional intelligence, low emotional intelligence from the
entire cast in my opinion. And I don't want to
be disrespectful, but I guess there are people like that
(58:57):
in this world. Oh, have fun, but you are not
advited to my wedding. So yeah, I give it three
because I laughed.
Speaker 3 (59:05):
I laughed, So you made a really good point of
saying like rom coms have that the like the miscommunication
that's usually like a hilarious kind of misunderstanding, or or
it's a misunderstand like a like a truth is revealed
(59:26):
later on in the movie that's supposed to be a hurdle,
like the final hurdle that they go over before they
finally like get together. But yeah, from start to finish,
these people just are miscommunicating and there's nothing funny about
their miscommunication at all. It's just really uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
Yeah, yeah, I would also agree with you, no need
to go watch it right now, just wait. Obviously doesn't
need to make any more money.
Speaker 3 (59:58):
Right It surpassed all expectations at the box office.
Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Good for them, I guess.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Like again, I think a lot of people were just
curious to see, like I want to see how these
two were behaving in the movie to get these rumors
swirling around.
Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
And yeah, I just I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
I wouldn't drop movie theater ticket money to see that movie.
Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
It's not five dollars anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
No, exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Yeah, matinees are not like quote unquote cheap anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
We paid twelve bucks.
Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
I think when I was like fifteen, and I live
in Tulsa. H I wouldn't even say it's a good
date night movie because I don't see how I would
leave the theater ready to bang.
Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
So I mean maybe if you love Glenn paw powl
Powell that much and he's looking at Sydney Sweeney, that's
the only reason you get your eye candy to kind
of get you.
Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Like, Oh, but I don't know. He's not my type.
Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
No, Glen Powell is not my type.
Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
And like I can, I can stand back and say,
like he's he's not unattractive, But now all I see
is a copy bar with abs with like crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Abs in a beautiful slide and a really nice smile,
but it's but it's totally like a douchebag smile. Yes,
you know. Have you ever seen the movie Set It
Up on Netflix? I have. That's the only other movie
I think I've seen of him where he's like the
main guy. I like that movie more.
Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Yes, I was gonna say I like him better in
that movie.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Yeah, yeah, that was anyone but this movie.
Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
So I wasn't sure.
Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
When we talked about it and you said that you
had seen it, I wasn't sure because when you were like,
I liked it. It was you know, it was funny
or whatever. I wasn't sure how much you liked it,
because when I walked out of the theater, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
God about Yeah, I'm about to break Jun's heart.
Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
We're not going to have the same score, but I'm
glad that we were pretty much aligned with everything.
Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Yeah, and I feel like I've been very lenient. You know,
fans of our podcast will know that I had a
very specific metroks system again grading system except you know whatever.
But I've been more lenient because I'm just leaning into
the love of a rom com in the Magic. So
(01:02:57):
this might be one of my lowest ratings in a
little bit. Now, I feel like so same for you.
I feel like you've been You've been. We've been in
this together, you know, we've been believing in the rom coms. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
I haven't gone lower than three in a bit.
Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
I still remember Shotgun Wedding mm hmm. I will not
forget the way my heart shattered.
Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
I just couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
But even that movie, I found it funnier.
Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Yes, I think I found that funnier then, But it.
Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Was also such a crazy plot that you're like, yeah,
this is crazy. Sure, this is funny because it's crazy.
