Speaker 1 (00:00):
And we're live.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm excited about this one me too.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I have to tell you though, I don't have a
lot of notes on this movie.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I don't have any notes. I didn't write anything down.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
We are free, Yes, welcome to Meet Cute, a podcast
for friends.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
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.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, my friend, you picked this movie. I did, so.
I hope you have some mental notes about what the
movies about.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm gonna I'm gonna wing it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You got this all right?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
For this episode, we did players the new Netflix movie
that came out on Valentine's Day with Gina Rodriguez, who
I love, and another Damon Wayne's Junior Rome com which
I think this was more in his wheelhouse.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Agree, Yes, well we'll talk. I agree.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So they are good friends who have known each other
since they were I guess teenagers, work for the same newspaper,
and they have a couple other friends who are brothers,
and they have known each other for a really long
time and have seen each other through different phases of
their lives, but something that they have been doing since
(01:36):
college is running plays mainly plays on being able to
hook up with different people that they meet in bars
and clubs and what have you. And after a decade
or so of playing these games with people that they
want to hook up with, she changes the game and
(02:03):
decides she wants to play for Keeps after she meets
a guy that she really would like to have something
real with. That's players.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I gotta tell you that warplay of Play for Keeps.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Right, I think I did pretty good.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I was good. I was gagged in the best way possible. Yeah.
I don't want to like jump too far, but like
I really like this movie.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yes, I enjoyed it a lot. Yeah, And like I said,
I think this was more in his wheelhouse for rom
coms rather than Love Guaranteed, Love Guaranteed. I feel like
they try to force a lot of really like corny
kind of serious dialogue on him. I feel like he
(02:56):
was able to be more of himself in this movie,
and he had his moments where he was serious and stuff,
but it didn't feel forced or ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah. Do you remember how a new Girl coach moves
to New York with his girlfriend at the time, so
in like this alternate universe in my head, this is
the grown up version of Coach after like living in
New York for years. Interesting because he was kind of
fun but like also kind of dated. Yes, does that
makes sense?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Uh huh so m and I love Gina Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
She is gorgeous Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
She is always beautiful like always, but there's something about
this movie. It's her outfits, it's her arms are jacked, like,
she looks phenomenal in this movie.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I couldn't agree more. She looks great, her face, like
her hair.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I loved everything.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
My favorite hair was probably the hair she had the
day they met Nick Russell, which went into the offense.
Oh my gosh, I have goosebumps talking about her right now.
I'm like, I want my hair to look like that.
It was so good, so good. Agree, Yeah, just beautiful
(04:20):
and also just like her character was so smart yet
so wholesome in a way, like I wanted to be
friends with her.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yes, that entire group dynamic like it just worked. They
were so funny together, like so like quick with it,
like love it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I forget Oh Sam Sam Brand something right.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Bran Brannigan yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He was probably one of my favorites outside from the
main couple. Just his timing was perfect, his face, he's
like he's cute, like he was just just perfection, perfection.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Something about him reminded me of Carter. I think it
was his like humor.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh my god, yes, yeah yeah again. This group was giving,
like jaded in the best way possible, if that makes sense.
I loved it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And everybody played off each other so well.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah yeah, and they all just like they just like
love and trusted each other so much so it was
like they had each other's back, like like, let's be real,
like you said, Gino's character Mac, she wanted to play
for keeps and went over which we'll talk about him.
(05:54):
And I mean the plan was like it was way
too elaborate. That would be my critique. This whole thing
was way too elaborate, Like it was exhausting. Yes, if
I had to be a part of it, I'm sorry,
I love you, but I would not be one of
these friends. Oh that is too exhausting. I would just
(06:15):
tell you, girl, I mean, I don't know, like just
maybe give up look at someone else. But they were
so committed to helping each other and helping her.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yep, that is true. I yeah, I had a problem
with how involved this whole scheme was. First of all,
if you're interested in somebody and you have to come
up with a scheme to get them interested, yes, it's
probably not a great start.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, which spoiler alert we saw. I mean she was
she faked who she was to get him because she
studied you know, the groups studied Nick to a tee.
I mean they even they knew when this man went
to the bathroom. I feel like, so she became the
girl for him and realized that wasn't gonna do it.
(07:13):
It might have been fun, but it wasn't gonna laugh.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
She cared too much about being the right person for
him instead of like really stepping back and evaluating, like,
is this really the right person for me? She never
really had that moment of reflection. And Adam Damon Wayne's
(07:38):
junior character, he calls her on that later in the movie,
where he was like, you were so caught up and
worried about whether you could pull this guy that you
never questioned whether you even should to begin with. So
I want to talk about Nick. Let's talk about Nick.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Let's do it. Okay, Yeah, how do.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You feel about Nick?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't feel any type of way. And here's why.
I don't think he did anything wrong. He was himself.
He was himself at some at one point because he
kept running into her at this like you know, like
her local bookshop and things like that, in the symphony
or orchestra or whatever they were at. He's like, you know,
(08:28):
I feel like you're stalking me. Like, yeah, she was.
He didn't know, so so again to me, who he
was and his character was just it was just him
and there was nothing wrong with him.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
He was himself the entire time.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah. Yeah, because even when he you know, he said
I will read your your feature one time. Done he
did that. She's like, what about notes? He's like, okay,
you want notes, I'll give you notes. He gave her notes.
You know, he delayed it too because he had this information.
But also they were fairly knew he had this information.
Let me clarify about her potentially getting laid off or
(09:08):
layoffs coming or whatever and her being part of it.
So again they were fairly new, like why would he
risk sharing that information if he didn't really have clarity
on it yet? So yeah, no, I think no notes,
I don't know. What do you think about him?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I agree, I think he was himself the entire time.
She maybe hurt her own feelings by building him to
be this person that he wasn't, or just the fact
that she looked at him as this ideal grown up
(09:50):
man that she felt that she should be with, Like,
if I'm going to settle down, I need to be
with an adult.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
This is the guy.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
He checks off all these different boxes. That doesn't mean
that that person is going to be good for you.
I think I personally didn't like him. Oh, I don't
like he is not the type of guy that does
it for me. He's handsome, yes, sexy, accomplished all these things.
(10:25):
I found him really boring. I found him very boring.
You are an accomplished writer, you do all these really
great things and achieved so much. But he's also pretentious
and like, you don't know how to hit a baseball?
(10:45):
Like that would have given me the ick. When they're
at the batting cages and he's acting like he's never
seen a baseball or swung a bat. Before we're done,
we're done, that would give me the ick. Hit by
a baseball machine because he stood right in front of it,
(11:06):
that would be the end of us.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But uh, I believe it. I believe I see it.
But he was just.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
He wasn't fun like, he was too like, he took
himself way too seriously, just had this air of condescension
and talked down to her. And when they get into
that final confrontation where she's like, you made all these edits,
(11:39):
like you took me out of this whole thing, and
he finally was like, I didn't like any of it
and totally shit on everything she worked at. You kinda
for her, I'd be like, you have to take that
with a grain of salt, because that's not his writing style.
He's editing from a totally different viewpoint and it's not
(12:05):
aligned with yours. Like, yeah, so I personally that would
not be a man that I go after. But it's
interesting because the things that she was saying about him
after they had their their night their one night stand,
(12:25):
and she tells Adam that she likes him and she
wants to be looked at as like a serious option
to like date and stuff. Her reasoning was, I'm thirty three,
I'm tired, I want a grown up. I've been dealing
with these man boys my entire life. But those are
(12:50):
things that we've said. I you know, I want a
grown man who has his life together, and Nick did.
He did have his life together.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He was a.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Grown up, but it's important to I don't know she
was looking at the list of things to check off
and not the actual like quality of those.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. I feel like
I say this every episode, but whatever, it's true. You
always say something that I couldn't agree with you more.
I He's not my type. Actually I don't. I can't
seem I can't see having fun with him either. Is
he gorgeous and great apartment and you know great? And
(13:42):
his girl is out there, she is out there for him,
and I'm so happy for him for that. But yeah, no,
And that's why I'm like, I can't be mad at him,
because she let her Instagram algorithm tell her what kind
of man to look for and and missed, you know,
someone that had been standing in front of her entire life.
(14:06):
So no, I agree, I agree. He didn't do it
for me. He didn't do it for me. I mean
if I had a one night stand and he was
an option, like yeah, I mean why not?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, why not but yeah, but to have a relationship.
And see, she was too focused on the goal when
they when they were all like working to they were
like staking out his whole schedule and all that. And
Adam asks her, well, what's the goal post? Like what's
(14:39):
the endgame here? And she says, I want a drawer.
I think she was focused on the goal instead of
who that goal, what kind of person that was attached to.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Oh that's good, Yep, that's exactly it. She lost sight
of it, of of who she just wanted to if
she never had any drawers in her house.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, I've never been given a drawer. I've lived with somebody.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
But I have never dated someone that had their own place.
Oh oh my god, has the words left my mouth?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I was like, oh no, oh no, I gotta get
on him.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Damn. Okay, all right, shall we move on? But okay,
but you haven't been given a drawer, you said before,
And you do you care to have a drawer at
this stage of your life?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
No, it's it's never really been something I've thought about.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, uh, is this a New York City thing? Because
this is like in the MINDI project too wanted a
place to put her things.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Right, Mindy Project brought it up. It was like such
a big thing in Sex and the City. Not wanting
to lug your things back and forth, Like you wanted
to have a set of things at the guy's house
so you didn't have to like pack clothes and pack
(16:21):
a blow dryer or whatever it was that you wanted.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I feel like pop culture made the drawer like this
big thing, but I've never really cared about that. I
got my own, right, Yeah, it's never been a goal.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But she was blinded by that. She wanted her drawer,
and I did. Like so where her and Adam were
having a conversation, he was like, you know, what's the goal?
She said, I want a drawer. I loved how he
was like, Okay, you want this guy, let's get him.
And I was like, that's so sweet because if he's
like spoiler alert, he's in love with her, he's been
(17:04):
in love with her. He just sort of gave her
her space while she had a tragedy happened in her
family where her mom passed, and he sort of just
stay there in that space. I guess probably the best
way to that I can come up to say it,
and she didn't see him, and but he just cared
about her so much. He was like, all right, if
(17:25):
that's what you want, then I'm here for you. I'll
do what you need.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Their whole thing was either lack of communication or miscommunity
because when they run into his ex girlfriend, so he
starts dating that girl.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yes, and a dental.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Hygienist, which I mean that girl caught on immediately.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, shall we talk about the brunch? I mean that
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It was uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I feel like, well she I feel like she
caught on right then and there. Yeah, because she was like, yeah,
this is there's more. He and he nick, being so
into himself, didn't really catch it, or maybe they didn't
care to point it out.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I think he's too self involved to see what that was,
to well to at least see it for just two
people who have been friends for so long. He just
looked like he thought they were weird.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Adam's girlfriend was the one who was like, hmm, I
know what this is and promptly broke up with him
because she saw all the signs and she's like, I've
seen this movie before. I'm gonna get out of here
before it becomes a thing, and before we get more
feelings involved, so she made the smart decision.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Good for her.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Another thing about the brunch. I know this sounds stupid,
but I don't know how she didn't roll her eyes
so hard. When when Mac and Adam are like making
jokes and like doing their little dances or whatever, and
(19:24):
they do the lightsaber like some weird light lightsaber thing,
and Nick was like, yeah, I wasn't really the star
Trek and look, I'm not a Star Wars super fan,
but like I engage with the world, I know what
the fuck it is. Yeah, for someone to make a
(19:44):
comment like that, I'd be like, I feel like you're lying.
I feel like you think it's like cool to not
know what popular things are. So this isn't gonna work.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Out next to busy saving children out of burning? But
is that where he saved a job from I have
no idea, But yeah, I've never seen anything Star Wars
at all. I know what a light savor is.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Like, I get the I get the reference. I think
anybody would really get the reference. Yeah, but I don't
know I think he anyway. Sorry, I'm like nitpicking.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I get it. I will tell you. I thought this
is the point you were gonna make because I recently
watch a different movie which we'll talk about. I put
on the list. I'll put on the list and we'll
talk about another day. But where like the two characters
had these little like moments where like it's almost like
(20:45):
no one else was around and they did like some
stupid shit. I'm sorry, like I'm all for cute stuff,
but like, come on, read the room, like they just
lost themselves in the like thing. Sorry, this is where
I turn into like an angry lover, you know, anger
(21:06):
no love, because I'm like, that's stupid. You Like, I
cannot do that in public. I would not do that
in public. That's crazy. They were just so weird to me.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I'm I don't mind a little bit of that sprinkled throughout,
but they kind of kept it going for a while,
and you're right, it was like they forgot that they
were there with two other people. And that's why Adam's
girlfriend was like, oh yes, yeah, oh I see.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Random side note the food sharing thing. Okay, first off,
so yeah, Adam suggested that they order a bunch of
things and share and nick, which this is a point
towards your point of like not liking Nick. Nick was like, no,
I don't share. You know, when you have dinners like
(22:03):
I do with like bad people, you can't trust that
they won't poison your food. So Nick says, I'm not
sharing food. So Mac is like, no, we'll share me
and Nick will get our thing and then YouTube can share,
meaning Adam and his girlfriend. I felt first off at
(22:23):
that point, and then the second point is I feel
like Adam and his girlfriend order a lot of food
to share between two people.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, they did.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I was like, oh oh, and then two whole Branzinos,
Like okay, wait, what it's going on here?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
What's funny? Is I get why Mac ordered the whole
brand zino because that was Nick's favorite thing, and so
she she was still playing, you know, she's still doing
a play with him, m M. And then Adam's girlfriend
(23:00):
she was like, oh, that sounds good. She didn't say
I think I'll have that too. She looks at at
him and she's like, we should probably get that too,
Like why yeah, why didn't he speak up and say no.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, or say we already have enough food. I was
bothered by that.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It was a lot, they ordered a lot. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's the brunch was interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It was really uncomfortable, and it was them lost in
their world but then also throwing each other under the
bus in weird ways. And Nick wasn't catching on to
any of it. It was just yeah. And then and
(23:54):
when towards the end, when Mac and Sam and Little
and Ashley they're all out and they see her, that
the girlfriend with another guy, and they're like kissing and stuff.
(24:14):
They get up and as the good friends they are,
they're like, they get in her face and they're like,
I can't believe you have the audacity to like just
cheat out in the open and run everybody. And she
lets them know, no, no, we're not dating anymore, Like
I broke that shit off. And then she says I
(24:35):
had to because Adam's in love with you, and that
became a whole thing. But she says, after that horrible brunch,
she's like, you were there. It was horrible, Like it
was horrible. It was it was horrible. And then and
then that night she's with Adam and they're brushing their
(24:58):
teeth in the bathroom and at no point is he
engaging with her. He's on the phone laughing and smiling
at the screen.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, girl, I'm leaving right then, yeah, or you're leaving
if it's my.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Phone, Yeah that's sad. Yeah, Yeah, I like I feel
like that is something that a woman definitely would pick
up pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, because intuitively, like we talked about this. I don't
know if it was in the last movie we did,
it was the last movie we did with Fran Like, intuitively,
as a woman, like, you can pick up the looks,
you can pick up the conversation, what's the tone, everything, like, Yeah,
she did Adam's girlfriend in this movie. I don't I
(25:48):
don't remember her name. Absolutely one of my favorites because
she she stood on on what she believed and and
paid attention and and trusted gut good for her. Yeah,
quick thing on the brunch and my last comment on
the brunch I think but technically that brunch happened and
(26:10):
was scheduled, you remember, because Nick was sort of like,
I have fun with you Mac, you know, and was
sort of like, you know, Mac was like worried, like
she wasn't like blowing his mind.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, so she thought him saying you're so fun was
a sign that he did not take her seriously as
a partner. And because he didn't, no he didn't, but
I also don't think he would take anybody really seriously.
(26:41):
He went he was going to go on that third
date with the doctor at the symphony, But I don't know.
I think he's just he's focused on himself. He's used
to just doing things for him and reaching his own goals.
Like I don't think that that's really a relationship person.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
No, No, And he didn't seem to be in a
rush today either, He just seemed to be so Yeah,
maybe someone liked the doctor could work out for him.
Maybe because like she's got her own thing going on,
she obviously puts, you know, a lot of priority on
her job. Good for her because she left the concert
(27:23):
because of a call that Mac and her friends put
together again, way too exhausting for a drawer, Way too exhausting,
that should be.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Adam really calls around her bullshit a couple times when
she tells him he called me fun, and he's like
that's good, and she's like no, like that's bad. Fun
is bad and he's like, no, fun is you And
she took that as an offense and he's like, no,
(27:55):
it's you. That should be a good thing. You are
a fun person. And then she was like, come with
me to the brunch and then we could run a play.
And he looked like he was fed up with her shit,
and he's like, you're in a relationship. You can't be
running schemes on your partner if you have to run
(28:17):
schemes to get someone to take you. Seriously, Oh that
sounds like a lot of hoop jumping for what for
what for a guy who has his life together but
you have nothing naturally in common with this.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, going with what you just said, he has his
life together, but he wasn't looking to add her to
his life. And I think that, I mean, I don't think,
I know, I know that's like a big thing in relationships,
like you want to come together, and there was none
of that. And she did a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, she definitely. Even when so he was
dragging his feet to read her feature, she kind of
rudely put aside her friends reading the feature and just
focused on getting this guy's opinion, who was like a
(29:19):
Pultzerprise finalist, like no, not even a winner. And so
when he finally does read it and he tells her,
she was like, you did, and then she puts him
first because She's like, yes, well that means you finish
(29:42):
your manuscript. Oh my god, congratulations. He takes the praise
and then doesn't bring up her writing. She has to
like push him again to be to ask for feedback.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
So she was ready to compromise, like who she was
as a person fully to get this person that was
good on paper basically.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And to get a man that did not like to him.
This was a flag, oh for sure. Yeah, she compromised
what she was to get someone that did not want
to be with her at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
And she even when they decide to run the play
at the anniversary or not anniversary, the retirement outing, which,
by the way, that whole exchange between the friends because
they're like, oh, you want to hit that and she's
like nah, And then they like get into the little song.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And dance the perfect anybody cutting onions, no.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Even they even them running the play, and she got
what she wanted, which was to hook up with him.
She looks so deflated and disappointed when after everything number one,
he takes a nap. Number two, when he wakes up
and comes out to the living room to see her,
(31:22):
he kisses her and he goes, do you want me
to call you a lift? She looks so disappointed that
he doesn't want her to sleep over anything.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I haven't Carol. The man don't want you. He never
wanted her.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
You're yeah, you're running plays specifically for one night stands.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't really know what else you're expecting from this
person that you don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
No, she really she really was, I guess blinded a
story that comes to mind, but also just like if
we get deep into it, like her self esteem was suffering,
and she thought the right man will make me feel
like I'm worth it.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, she was definitely feeling a little bit lost in
her life, and she thought, this person is going to
get me out of whatever it is. I'm feeling, whatever
crisis I'm in, I'm going to feel like a grown
up because I'm dating a grown up like.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And also someone that like did well, and because they're
in a similar career as writer, so like he's a
he's obviously a better writer, not better, more accomplished writer.
So she's like, that's it, Like that's who I need
to sort of up or level me up, you know.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, almost like almost like siphoning off his energy or
riding his coattails, kind of like successful by association type
of thing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, random thought, I just had Priscilla. But imagine their
relationship would have somehow worked out and it's years later.
Do you think she would have ever told him this?
Like this is creepy if a man tells me like, oh, yeah,
by the way, we're together because like I did all
these things. No, what do you How would you feel?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I I don't know. I would really feel like maybe
violated is the wrong word. I don't know. I feel
like that person's a stranger, yes, because I'd be like,
well was it genuine? Like do you actually like that?
Because I'm telling you, Jen, there have been a couple
(33:42):
of guys that I've been with where things that we
did in the earlier days of our relationship, once the
relationship was like more established and you put some time
in and stuff, all of a sudden, some of those
things kind of drop away, and then the person's like, well, actually,
I don't really like this as much as you think
(34:05):
I like it, or you know, I'm not really crazy
about this or things like that that has absolutely happened
to me where I'm like, so, then why didn't you
say anything. Why did you keep going with it?
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Because you liked it because it made you happy. Okay,
Well you were doing something that you didn't like and
this entire time I thought you liked this thing so
or you liked going here, you liked doing that. Like,
even something little like that, it was really a shock
(34:44):
to my system because I'm like, it's been a couple
of years, dude, Like what, I.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Don't blame you because that's uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
It's weird because then it starts making you think of
other things and you're like, what else have you been
playing up to try to get in my good graces?
You know? Yeah, it's really off putting.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, maybe violated is the right word though, because it's
almost like you were not seen as a human. I
don't know, maybe I'm overreacting.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
But or like a this is going to sound like
a really dramatic word, but it's almost a betrayal.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, I don't disagree.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Because even even if it's a little thing, it's like, Okay,
if it's so little, why would you pretend? Yeah, and
it's very it's.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I'm all for.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
It's it's one thing to do something that maybe you're
not really as into we're interested in as a comp right, Like, Okay,
the person I care about really likes this, I'm not
really into it, but I'm gonna I'm gonna share that
experience with them.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
And if I.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Really really just don't like it, then I'm gonna say, listen,
I know you really like doing this, but I'm not
really into it. So would it hurt your feelings if
I don't continue this whatever activity?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You know?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I I don't know, there's there's compromise, and then there's
like just straight up lying, pretending to be this person
that you're not.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, I think using the context of this movie, this
is where I would draw the line. It's like the benzino, right, like,
it's fine if you try it. Let's say you've tried
it before and you didn't like it, but we're going
out together. You know it's my favorite food, so you
don't say anything. You give it another shot, just you
(37:01):
try it whatever, and then I don't know, say, like
yet later you tell me like, by the way, I
hate that. I that's definitely not my favorite food. Like
that to me is okay because it's like sure, like
you didn't have to tell me your backstory on the Mezino,
I understand you gave it a shot with me, But
where I draw the line, and again in context of
this movie, is she claimed that was.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Her favorite food.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
So it's like that type of vibe of like a
yes man and a yes, this is my favorite just
because no, that's that's ugly to me. Can I tell
you my favorite scene? And it was so small, it
was probably like a second, but it felt so real.
(37:49):
When she is home after learning that Adam is in
love with her from Adam's ex girlfriend and then they're
mutual friends. She's like crying at home and like thinking
about it, like I'm like wow, like what like her
mind had just been blown and I believed her. I
think she acted that scene beautifully. And then she mouths
(38:10):
the word, oh, wow, that'd be like she's like oh,
and she's like, oh, that'd be great. Mm hmm. I melted.
That was so real and she acted it so beautifully
when you realize like, yeah, you know what, Yeah that
would be great.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Oh she did really well in the way. My one
of my favorite parts was at the at the bar
for the retirement party. They're playing pool and they're looking
at Nick sitting there and they're talking about him saving
(38:48):
orphans from a burning building or whatever, and Sam still
has no idea who he is, and he's like, he's like,
I read obituaries. I don't care about the living. And
he's like, do you know the Tennessee Williams choked on
a bottle cap or something. And the both of them
were like every time we unscrew something. She's like, she's
(39:14):
like so many times, and David Wade's jets like every
time we unscrew something. It's just the timing, the dynamic.
It made me laugh, like too hard. Yeah, I like
I appreciate the little comments like that.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah. I like the three of them. And then when
you add little who's Sam's little brother, and his new
girlfriend who is the receptionist of their editor, Ashley, I thought,
just it just rounded them out perfectly?
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Did it? Did it bother you that at the end
when she pours her heart out to Adam, he doesn't
really say much. He kind of makes a joke. It
kind of it kind of bothered me a little bit,
Like it was it was cute, but she's she was
(40:11):
like pouring her entire heart and soul out. She's crying,
and then he's like, if you ever talk that much again?
Like it was funny, but also I'd be like, fuck you.
I just was really vulnerable with you.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Okay, my friend, let me explain to you exactly why.
I'm gonna give you a glimpse into my brain. So
get ready, buckle up. I'm gonna tell you why I
loved it. If someone who talks a lot and who
a lot of times loses her train of thought, I
am aware that I am a lot in that sense,
(40:48):
So that is hot to me. A man that will
literally be like, if you ever talk that much again.
So I loved it. I ate it up with a spoon.
Call it crimber Ley because I loved it.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Like like I do, think it was cute. But then,
like when I really thought about it, I was like,
he didn't even say anything back to her, Like he
said I love you real quick when she ran off
to the game, but he didn't say anything back to
her her.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Whole I was like, girl, you talk like that again,
and then gave her a gorgeous kiss to really shut
her off. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. I
love that you had a bone to pick with that
you were like I did not like that.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, it takes a lot for me to be vulnerable
in a romantic sense. So when somebody doesn't match that energy,
that's like, that's like writing someone a really long text
message and they say, Kay, that's so annoying.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
No, that's fair, That is very fair.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, but I did. I did, Like, you know, she
the little alarm went off and she's like, oh shit,
I'm late, and she starts running and she's like, yeah,
first baseline baby, and he's like, oh, you're spoiling me.
She does like the little dance. They're so cute together.
They had a really good dynamic, really good chemistry.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah. I definitely wish we would have seen more of
them as a couple a little bit, you know those
you know how I always like the last five minutes,
you know, like five seconds or whatever. I would have
liked that because because I think that I love that
part in that little banter. So I think they would
have been really cute as a couple.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Do you think that them as a couple would be
that different as them as friends?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
No? Just no. See that's one that I buy the whole.
In the rom com they were friends and then lovers,
and I can see them just having the same chemistry
because he was so nurturing to her and I yeah,
I can see it. I can see them and I
can see them still together too.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yeah, there's a lot of history there. He knows her
whole loss, like was there for losing her mom and
all that. Like, I think that's really important.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
And that's what she said her parents had, right mm hmm.
This friendship, this like deep connection and I think, you know,
she's a lucky gal. She got it with them.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
I think that's a really important piece of a successful
relation is having that foundation of friendship, like being able
to just be with each other as friends eventually. Yeah,
not to like be a downer or anything, but passion
(44:10):
fades over time, and when you're with someone for a
long time, I mean, it's easy to get comfortable, and
there has to be something substantial to replace that lust,
that passion, the physical aspect of it. There has to
(44:30):
be something that's going to carry that relationship through the years,
and that's seeing each other as friends.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
I agree. And again, it feels comfortable. It feels good
and not you know, comfortable, not in a I guess
in a negative sense, but it's like safe. I think
she said something about feeling safe with him, Yes.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Because she she's fully herself.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
With Nick, she literally was not herself. No, she was
a whole different that had different interests.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Yeah, she was the binder character for Nick, but with
with Adam, she was herself.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Also, he's seen her through really low points, really high points.
He's seen i'm sure, like the ugly side and the
crazy side of her and still accepts her and loves her.
And that's the important thing. She doesn't she doesn't have
(45:33):
to like keep up appearances or what have you.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Yeah, and I don't want this to come off and
as any woman shaming at all, but like whatever, man,
you know, it's important to them, whatever body count or whatever. Like,
he's seen her through all that. He's helped her get
late mm hmmm. So that is her ride or die
for sure.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
He already knows all her moods and yes.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Are different. I mean they know each other's routines. When
they're themselves and they're feeling down, like they know they
know all that stuff. There's really no secrets. Yeah, well
except for him dating that girl that was a secret
from everybody.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
Yeah, I think to at some point he was like, listen,
I guess I got to move on.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Why do you think he kept her from them? Like, yeah,
he said, I got her number. I went on a
couple of dates with this person, but totally like he
he mentioned the dates to Mac, he told everybody else about,
(46:49):
like getting a number on his own. He said the
date thing to Mac, but never mentioned it to Little
or Sam. So when the girlfriend all of a sudden
came out of nowhere when they were bowling, it was
it was weird because she's like, oh, I've heard all
(47:09):
about you, and then what do you say to somebody
like that when you're like, I didn't even know you
fucking existed.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
It is weird. I don't know if you caught this though,
but apparently they don't bring anyone around unless they feel
serious about them. So I get that. But I agree
with you because I if I met the friends and
the friends knew nothing about me, that is a right,
yes for sure, Like, come on, I'm great, you should
be telling everybody about me. Okay.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
It's one thing to not want to introduce somebody yet
until you're like, okay, this, I feel serious about this person,
I want to take it to the next level whatever,
But to not even mention that you're seeing someone that
you're talking to someone that's weird.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yeah, or not even and say that she's gonna show
up that night like that's yeah, Yeah, it was all weird.
They were all looking at each other funny, and she's
like I think from that moment she was probably like, Okay,
what did I get myself into here? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I would totally feel that at tension if I were
her and I these people don't know who I am.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Yeah, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
Are you ready to rate this movie?
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Let's do it. Let's rate this movie.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Okay, on the scale of one to five. Newspaper emoji?
What do you rate players?
Speaker 1 (48:41):
I rate players four? Newspapers emoji. I I am going
back to my old way of rating here for a second.
The only reason I don't give it a five is
because I would have liked it. The movie was long,
and I would have liked to see them together. Because
of that, those two points, but length, you had time
(49:04):
to give me more of them, and you didn't. I'm
gonna go with a four. But I overall really really
enjoy the movie. It was funny. Why do you rate
this movie? I'm curious we.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Are on the same wave length. I also give this
four stars. I don't give it a complete perfect score.
But I thought it was great. I really liked the cast.
Everybody did a job. It was very funny, even though
(49:40):
it was a predictable plot, you know, but that's okay.
It's like it's very comforting to know what's coming. No,
I really I enjoyed it a lot. Was it was
a pleasant surprise.
Speaker 6 (50:00):
Yes, I think I saw I think I saw this
the day that it dropped, either the day or the
day after, because as soon as I turned on Netflix,
it was right there and it was like, you know,
new movie, and.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
I was like, oh shit, it's a new rom com.
It was good, more on the longer side of a
rom com, like you said. But I wasn't bored in
any any part of the movie.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
So I liked this movie.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah. I also liked the I guess diversity of it.
I liked that the main characters are not white.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
M M.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
I'm telling you. I had such a crush on Gina
Rodriguez in this movie.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Gorgeous her face, her body, her hair, everything, her personality. Yeah, yeah, everything. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
I loved her, big fan.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Yeah. Those literally and I've already talked about it, but
those were literally my two like main notes that I
wanted to make sure I said, which was Teto Drigez's
gorgeous and Adam is like a grown up version of
Coach and I liked it.
Speaker 5 (51:15):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
I'm glad we're back on the same wave the wedding
planner we were. You shocked me with that score that
you gave.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Them what happened. I haven't seen it again. I don't
think I ever will. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (51:32):

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm excited about this one me too.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I have to tell you though, I don't have a
lot of notes on this movie.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I don't have any notes. I didn't write anything down.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
We are free, Yes, welcome to Meet Cute, a podcast
for friends.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
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.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, my friend, you picked this movie. I did, so.
I hope you have some mental notes about what the
movies about.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm gonna I'm gonna wing it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You got this all right?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
For this episode, we did players the new Netflix movie
that came out on Valentine's Day with Gina Rodriguez, who
I love, and another Damon Wayne's Junior Rome com which
I think this was more in his wheelhouse.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Agree, Yes, well we'll talk. I agree.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So they are good friends who have known each other
since they were I guess teenagers, work for the same newspaper,
and they have a couple other friends who are brothers,
and they have known each other for a really long
time and have seen each other through different phases of
their lives, but something that they have been doing since
(01:36):
college is running plays mainly plays on being able to
hook up with different people that they meet in bars
and clubs and what have you. And after a decade
or so of playing these games with people that they
want to hook up with, she changes the game and
(02:03):
decides she wants to play for Keeps after she meets
a guy that she really would like to have something
real with. That's players.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I gotta tell you that warplay of Play for Keeps.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Right, I think I did pretty good.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I was good. I was gagged in the best way possible. Yeah.
I don't want to like jump too far, but like
I really like this movie.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yes, I enjoyed it a lot. Yeah, And like I said,
I think this was more in his wheelhouse for rom
coms rather than Love Guaranteed, Love Guaranteed. I feel like
they try to force a lot of really like corny
kind of serious dialogue on him. I feel like he
(02:56):
was able to be more of himself in this movie,
and he had his moments where he was serious and stuff,
but it didn't feel forced or ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah. Do you remember how a new Girl coach moves
to New York with his girlfriend at the time, so
in like this alternate universe in my head, this is
the grown up version of Coach after like living in
New York for years. Interesting because he was kind of
fun but like also kind of dated. Yes, does that
makes sense?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Uh huh so m and I love Gina Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
She is gorgeous Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
She is always beautiful like always, but there's something about
this movie. It's her outfits, it's her arms are jacked, like,
she looks phenomenal in this movie.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I couldn't agree more. She looks great, her face, like
her hair.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I loved everything.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
My favorite hair was probably the hair she had the
day they met Nick Russell, which went into the offense.
Oh my gosh, I have goosebumps talking about her right now.
I'm like, I want my hair to look like that.
It was so good, so good. Agree, Yeah, just beautiful
(04:20):
and also just like her character was so smart yet
so wholesome in a way, like I wanted to be
friends with her.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yes, that entire group dynamic like it just worked. They
were so funny together, like so like quick with it,
like love it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I forget Oh Sam Sam Brand something right.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Bran Brannigan yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
He was probably one of my favorites outside from the
main couple. Just his timing was perfect, his face, he's
like he's cute, like he was just just perfection, perfection.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Something about him reminded me of Carter. I think it
was his like humor.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh my god, yes, yeah yeah again. This group was giving,
like jaded in the best way possible, if that makes sense.
I loved it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And everybody played off each other so well.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah yeah, and they all just like they just like
love and trusted each other so much so it was
like they had each other's back, like like, let's be real,
like you said, Gino's character Mac, she wanted to play
for keeps and went over which we'll talk about him.
(05:54):
And I mean the plan was like it was way
too elaborate. That would be my critique. This whole thing
was way too elaborate, Like it was exhausting. Yes, if
I had to be a part of it, I'm sorry,
I love you, but I would not be one of
these friends. Oh that is too exhausting. I would just
(06:15):
tell you, girl, I mean, I don't know, like just
maybe give up look at someone else. But they were
so committed to helping each other and helping her.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yep, that is true. I yeah, I had a problem
with how involved this whole scheme was. First of all,
if you're interested in somebody and you have to come
up with a scheme to get them interested, yes, it's
probably not a great start.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, which spoiler alert we saw. I mean she was
she faked who she was to get him because she
studied you know, the groups studied Nick to a tee.
I mean they even they knew when this man went
to the bathroom. I feel like, so she became the
girl for him and realized that wasn't gonna do it.
(07:13):
It might have been fun, but it wasn't gonna laugh.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
She cared too much about being the right person for
him instead of like really stepping back and evaluating, like,
is this really the right person for me? She never
really had that moment of reflection. And Adam Damon Wayne's
(07:38):
junior character, he calls her on that later in the movie,
where he was like, you were so caught up and
worried about whether you could pull this guy that you
never questioned whether you even should to begin with. So
I want to talk about Nick. Let's talk about Nick.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Let's do it. Okay, Yeah, how do.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You feel about Nick?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't feel any type of way. And here's why.
I don't think he did anything wrong. He was himself.
He was himself at some at one point because he
kept running into her at this like you know, like
her local bookshop and things like that, in the symphony
or orchestra or whatever they were at. He's like, you know,
(08:28):
I feel like you're stalking me. Like, yeah, she was.
He didn't know, so so again to me, who he
was and his character was just it was just him
and there was nothing wrong with him.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
He was himself the entire time.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah. Yeah, because even when he you know, he said
I will read your your feature one time. Done he
did that. She's like, what about notes? He's like, okay,
you want notes, I'll give you notes. He gave her notes.
You know, he delayed it too because he had this information.
But also they were fairly knew he had this information.
Let me clarify about her potentially getting laid off or
(09:08):
layoffs coming or whatever and her being part of it.
So again they were fairly new, like why would he
risk sharing that information if he didn't really have clarity
on it yet? So yeah, no, I think no notes,
I don't know. What do you think about him?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I agree, I think he was himself the entire time.
She maybe hurt her own feelings by building him to
be this person that he wasn't, or just the fact
that she looked at him as this ideal grown up
(09:50):
man that she felt that she should be with, Like,
if I'm going to settle down, I need to be
with an adult.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
This is the guy.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
He checks off all these different boxes. That doesn't mean
that that person is going to be good for you.
I think I personally didn't like him. Oh, I don't
like he is not the type of guy that does
it for me. He's handsome, yes, sexy, accomplished all these things.
(10:25):
I found him really boring. I found him very boring.
You are an accomplished writer, you do all these really
great things and achieved so much. But he's also pretentious
and like, you don't know how to hit a baseball?
(10:45):
Like that would have given me the ick. When they're
at the batting cages and he's acting like he's never
seen a baseball or swung a bat. Before we're done,
we're done, that would give me the ick. Hit by
a baseball machine because he stood right in front of it,
(11:06):
that would be the end of us.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But uh, I believe it. I believe I see it.
But he was just.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
He wasn't fun like, he was too like, he took
himself way too seriously, just had this air of condescension
and talked down to her. And when they get into
that final confrontation where she's like, you made all these edits,
(11:39):
like you took me out of this whole thing, and
he finally was like, I didn't like any of it
and totally shit on everything she worked at. You kinda
for her, I'd be like, you have to take that
with a grain of salt, because that's not his writing style.
He's editing from a totally different viewpoint and it's not
(12:05):
aligned with yours. Like, yeah, so I personally that would
not be a man that I go after. But it's
interesting because the things that she was saying about him
after they had their their night their one night stand,
(12:25):
and she tells Adam that she likes him and she
wants to be looked at as like a serious option
to like date and stuff. Her reasoning was, I'm thirty three,
I'm tired, I want a grown up. I've been dealing
with these man boys my entire life. But those are
(12:50):
things that we've said. I you know, I want a
grown man who has his life together, and Nick did.
He did have his life together.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He was a.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Grown up, but it's important to I don't know she
was looking at the list of things to check off
and not the actual like quality of those.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. I feel like
I say this every episode, but whatever, it's true. You
always say something that I couldn't agree with you more.
I He's not my type. Actually I don't. I can't
seem I can't see having fun with him either. Is
he gorgeous and great apartment and you know great? And
(13:42):
his girl is out there, she is out there for him,
and I'm so happy for him for that. But yeah, no,
And that's why I'm like, I can't be mad at him,
because she let her Instagram algorithm tell her what kind
of man to look for and and missed, you know,
someone that had been standing in front of her entire life.
(14:06):
So no, I agree, I agree. He didn't do it
for me. He didn't do it for me. I mean
if I had a one night stand and he was
an option, like yeah, I mean why not?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, why not but yeah, but to have a relationship.
And see, she was too focused on the goal when
they when they were all like working to they were
like staking out his whole schedule and all that. And
Adam asks her, well, what's the goal post? Like what's
(14:39):
the endgame here? And she says, I want a drawer.
I think she was focused on the goal instead of
who that goal, what kind of person that was attached to.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Oh that's good, Yep, that's exactly it. She lost sight
of it, of of who she just wanted to if
she never had any drawers in her house.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, I've never been given a drawer. I've lived with somebody.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
But I have never dated someone that had their own place.
Oh oh my god, has the words left my mouth?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I was like, oh no, oh no, I gotta get
on him.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Damn. Okay, all right, shall we move on? But okay,
but you haven't been given a drawer, you said before,
And you do you care to have a drawer at
this stage of your life?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
No, it's it's never really been something I've thought about.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, uh, is this a New York City thing? Because
this is like in the MINDI project too wanted a
place to put her things.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Right, Mindy Project brought it up. It was like such
a big thing in Sex and the City. Not wanting
to lug your things back and forth, Like you wanted
to have a set of things at the guy's house
so you didn't have to like pack clothes and pack
(16:21):
a blow dryer or whatever it was that you wanted.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I feel like pop culture made the drawer like this
big thing, but I've never really cared about that. I
got my own, right, Yeah, it's never been a goal.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But she was blinded by that. She wanted her drawer,
and I did. Like so where her and Adam were
having a conversation, he was like, you know, what's the goal?
She said, I want a drawer. I loved how he
was like, Okay, you want this guy, let's get him.
And I was like, that's so sweet because if he's
like spoiler alert, he's in love with her, he's been
(17:04):
in love with her. He just sort of gave her
her space while she had a tragedy happened in her
family where her mom passed, and he sort of just
stay there in that space. I guess probably the best
way to that I can come up to say it,
and she didn't see him, and but he just cared
about her so much. He was like, all right, if
(17:25):
that's what you want, then I'm here for you. I'll
do what you need.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Their whole thing was either lack of communication or miscommunity
because when they run into his ex girlfriend, so he
starts dating that girl.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yes, and a dental.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Hygienist, which I mean that girl caught on immediately.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, shall we talk about the brunch? I mean that
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It was uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I feel like, well she I feel like she
caught on right then and there. Yeah, because she was like, yeah,
this is there's more. He and he nick, being so
into himself, didn't really catch it, or maybe they didn't
care to point it out.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I think he's too self involved to see what that was,
to well to at least see it for just two
people who have been friends for so long. He just
looked like he thought they were weird.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Adam's girlfriend was the one who was like, hmm, I
know what this is and promptly broke up with him
because she saw all the signs and she's like, I've
seen this movie before. I'm gonna get out of here
before it becomes a thing, and before we get more
feelings involved, so she made the smart decision.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Good for her.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Another thing about the brunch. I know this sounds stupid,
but I don't know how she didn't roll her eyes
so hard. When when Mac and Adam are like making
jokes and like doing their little dances or whatever, and
(19:24):
they do the lightsaber like some weird light lightsaber thing,
and Nick was like, yeah, I wasn't really the star
Trek and look, I'm not a Star Wars super fan,
but like I engage with the world, I know what
the fuck it is. Yeah, for someone to make a
(19:44):
comment like that, I'd be like, I feel like you're lying.
I feel like you think it's like cool to not
know what popular things are. So this isn't gonna work.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Out next to busy saving children out of burning? But
is that where he saved a job from I have
no idea, But yeah, I've never seen anything Star Wars
at all. I know what a light savor is.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Like, I get the I get the reference. I think
anybody would really get the reference. Yeah, but I don't
know I think he anyway. Sorry, I'm like nitpicking.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I get it. I will tell you. I thought this
is the point you were gonna make because I recently
watch a different movie which we'll talk about. I put
on the list. I'll put on the list and we'll
talk about another day. But where like the two characters
had these little like moments where like it's almost like
(20:45):
no one else was around and they did like some
stupid shit. I'm sorry, like I'm all for cute stuff,
but like, come on, read the room, like they just
lost themselves in the like thing. Sorry, this is where
I turn into like an angry lover, you know, anger
(21:06):
no love, because I'm like, that's stupid. You Like, I
cannot do that in public. I would not do that
in public. That's crazy. They were just so weird to me.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I'm I don't mind a little bit of that sprinkled throughout,
but they kind of kept it going for a while,
and you're right, it was like they forgot that they
were there with two other people. And that's why Adam's
girlfriend was like, oh yes, yeah, oh I see.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Random side note the food sharing thing. Okay, first off,
so yeah, Adam suggested that they order a bunch of
things and share and nick, which this is a point
towards your point of like not liking Nick. Nick was like, no,
I don't share. You know, when you have dinners like
(22:03):
I do with like bad people, you can't trust that
they won't poison your food. So Nick says, I'm not
sharing food. So Mac is like, no, we'll share me
and Nick will get our thing and then YouTube can share,
meaning Adam and his girlfriend. I felt first off at
(22:23):
that point, and then the second point is I feel
like Adam and his girlfriend order a lot of food
to share between two people.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, they did.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I was like, oh oh, and then two whole Branzinos,
Like okay, wait, what it's going on here?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
What's funny? Is I get why Mac ordered the whole
brand zino because that was Nick's favorite thing, and so
she she was still playing, you know, she's still doing
a play with him, m M. And then Adam's girlfriend
(23:00):
she was like, oh, that sounds good. She didn't say
I think I'll have that too. She looks at at
him and she's like, we should probably get that too,
Like why yeah, why didn't he speak up and say no.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, or say we already have enough food. I was
bothered by that.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It was a lot, they ordered a lot. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's the brunch was interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It was really uncomfortable, and it was them lost in
their world but then also throwing each other under the
bus in weird ways. And Nick wasn't catching on to
any of it. It was just yeah. And then and
(23:54):
when towards the end, when Mac and Sam and Little
and Ashley they're all out and they see her, that
the girlfriend with another guy, and they're like kissing and stuff.
(24:14):
They get up and as the good friends they are,
they're like, they get in her face and they're like,
I can't believe you have the audacity to like just
cheat out in the open and run everybody. And she
lets them know, no, no, we're not dating anymore, Like
I broke that shit off. And then she says I
(24:35):
had to because Adam's in love with you, and that
became a whole thing. But she says, after that horrible brunch,
she's like, you were there. It was horrible, Like it
was horrible. It was it was horrible. And then and
then that night she's with Adam and they're brushing their
(24:58):
teeth in the bathroom and at no point is he
engaging with her. He's on the phone laughing and smiling
at the screen.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, girl, I'm leaving right then, yeah, or you're leaving
if it's my.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Phone, Yeah that's sad. Yeah, Yeah, I like I feel
like that is something that a woman definitely would pick
up pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, because intuitively, like we talked about this. I don't
know if it was in the last movie we did,
it was the last movie we did with Fran Like, intuitively,
as a woman, like, you can pick up the looks,
you can pick up the conversation, what's the tone, everything, like, Yeah,
she did Adam's girlfriend in this movie. I don't I
(25:48):
don't remember her name. Absolutely one of my favorites because
she she stood on on what she believed and and
paid attention and and trusted gut good for her. Yeah,
quick thing on the brunch and my last comment on
the brunch I think but technically that brunch happened and
(26:10):
was scheduled, you remember, because Nick was sort of like,
I have fun with you Mac, you know, and was
sort of like, you know, Mac was like worried, like
she wasn't like blowing his mind.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, so she thought him saying you're so fun was
a sign that he did not take her seriously as
a partner. And because he didn't, no he didn't, but
I also don't think he would take anybody really seriously.
(26:41):
He went he was going to go on that third
date with the doctor at the symphony, But I don't know.
I think he's just he's focused on himself. He's used
to just doing things for him and reaching his own goals.
Like I don't think that that's really a relationship person.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
No, No, And he didn't seem to be in a
rush today either, He just seemed to be so Yeah,
maybe someone liked the doctor could work out for him.
Maybe because like she's got her own thing going on,
she obviously puts, you know, a lot of priority on
her job. Good for her because she left the concert
(27:23):
because of a call that Mac and her friends put
together again, way too exhausting for a drawer, Way too exhausting,
that should be.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Adam really calls around her bullshit a couple times when
she tells him he called me fun, and he's like
that's good, and she's like no, like that's bad. Fun
is bad and he's like, no, fun is you And
she took that as an offense and he's like, no,
(27:55):
it's you. That should be a good thing. You are
a fun person. And then she was like, come with
me to the brunch and then we could run a play.
And he looked like he was fed up with her shit,
and he's like, you're in a relationship. You can't be
running schemes on your partner if you have to run
(28:17):
schemes to get someone to take you. Seriously, Oh that
sounds like a lot of hoop jumping for what for
what for a guy who has his life together but
you have nothing naturally in common with this.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, going with what you just said, he has his
life together, but he wasn't looking to add her to
his life. And I think that, I mean, I don't think,
I know, I know that's like a big thing in relationships,
like you want to come together, and there was none
of that. And she did a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, she definitely. Even when so he was
dragging his feet to read her feature, she kind of
rudely put aside her friends reading the feature and just
focused on getting this guy's opinion, who was like a
(29:19):
Pultzerprise finalist, like no, not even a winner. And so
when he finally does read it and he tells her,
she was like, you did, and then she puts him
first because She's like, yes, well that means you finish
(29:42):
your manuscript. Oh my god, congratulations. He takes the praise
and then doesn't bring up her writing. She has to
like push him again to be to ask for feedback.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
So she was ready to compromise, like who she was
as a person fully to get this person that was
good on paper basically.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And to get a man that did not like to him.
This was a flag, oh for sure. Yeah, she compromised
what she was to get someone that did not want
to be with her at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
And she even when they decide to run the play
at the anniversary or not anniversary, the retirement outing, which,
by the way, that whole exchange between the friends because
they're like, oh, you want to hit that and she's
like nah, And then they like get into the little song.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And dance the perfect anybody cutting onions, no.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Even they even them running the play, and she got
what she wanted, which was to hook up with him.
She looks so deflated and disappointed when after everything number one,
he takes a nap. Number two, when he wakes up
and comes out to the living room to see her,
(31:22):
he kisses her and he goes, do you want me
to call you a lift? She looks so disappointed that
he doesn't want her to sleep over anything.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I haven't Carol. The man don't want you. He never
wanted her.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
You're yeah, you're running plays specifically for one night stands.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I don't really know what else you're expecting from this
person that you don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
No, she really she really was, I guess blinded a
story that comes to mind, but also just like if
we get deep into it, like her self esteem was suffering,
and she thought the right man will make me feel
like I'm worth it.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, she was definitely feeling a little bit lost in
her life, and she thought, this person is going to
get me out of whatever it is. I'm feeling, whatever
crisis I'm in, I'm going to feel like a grown
up because I'm dating a grown up like.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
And also someone that like did well, and because they're
in a similar career as writer, so like he's a
he's obviously a better writer, not better, more accomplished writer.
So she's like, that's it, Like that's who I need
to sort of up or level me up, you know.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, almost like almost like siphoning off his energy or
riding his coattails, kind of like successful by association type
of thing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, random thought, I just had Priscilla. But imagine their
relationship would have somehow worked out and it's years later.
Do you think she would have ever told him this?
Like this is creepy if a man tells me like, oh, yeah,
by the way, we're together because like I did all
these things. No, what do you How would you feel?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I I don't know. I would really feel like maybe
violated is the wrong word. I don't know. I feel
like that person's a stranger, yes, because I'd be like,
well was it genuine? Like do you actually like that?
Because I'm telling you, Jen, there have been a couple
(33:42):
of guys that I've been with where things that we
did in the earlier days of our relationship, once the
relationship was like more established and you put some time
in and stuff, all of a sudden, some of those
things kind of drop away, and then the person's like, well, actually,
I don't really like this as much as you think
(34:05):
I like it, or you know, I'm not really crazy
about this or things like that that has absolutely happened
to me where I'm like, so, then why didn't you
say anything. Why did you keep going with it?
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Because you liked it because it made you happy. Okay,
Well you were doing something that you didn't like and
this entire time I thought you liked this thing so
or you liked going here, you liked doing that. Like,
even something little like that, it was really a shock
(34:44):
to my system because I'm like, it's been a couple
of years, dude, Like what, I.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Don't blame you because that's uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
It's weird because then it starts making you think of
other things and you're like, what else have you been
playing up to try to get in my good graces?
You know? Yeah, it's really off putting.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, maybe violated is the right word though, because it's
almost like you were not seen as a human. I
don't know, maybe I'm overreacting.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
But or like a this is going to sound like
a really dramatic word, but it's almost a betrayal.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, I don't disagree.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Because even even if it's a little thing, it's like, Okay,
if it's so little, why would you pretend? Yeah, and
it's very it's.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I'm all for.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
It's it's one thing to do something that maybe you're
not really as into we're interested in as a comp right, Like, Okay,
the person I care about really likes this, I'm not
really into it, but I'm gonna I'm gonna share that
experience with them.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
And if I.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Really really just don't like it, then I'm gonna say, listen,
I know you really like doing this, but I'm not
really into it. So would it hurt your feelings if
I don't continue this whatever activity?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You know?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I I don't know, there's there's compromise, and then there's
like just straight up lying, pretending to be this person
that you're not.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, I think using the context of this movie, this
is where I would draw the line. It's like the benzino, right, like,
it's fine if you try it. Let's say you've tried
it before and you didn't like it, but we're going
out together. You know it's my favorite food, so you
don't say anything. You give it another shot, just you
(37:01):
try it whatever, and then I don't know, say, like
yet later you tell me like, by the way, I
hate that. I that's definitely not my favorite food. Like
that to me is okay because it's like sure, like
you didn't have to tell me your backstory on the Mezino,
I understand you gave it a shot with me, But
where I draw the line, and again in context of
this movie, is she claimed that was.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Her favorite food.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
So it's like that type of vibe of like a
yes man and a yes, this is my favorite just
because no, that's that's ugly to me. Can I tell
you my favorite scene? And it was so small, it
was probably like a second, but it felt so real.
(37:49):
When she is home after learning that Adam is in
love with her from Adam's ex girlfriend and then they're
mutual friends. She's like crying at home and like thinking
about it, like I'm like wow, like what like her
mind had just been blown and I believed her. I
think she acted that scene beautifully. And then she mouths
(38:10):
the word, oh, wow, that'd be like she's like oh,
and she's like, oh, that'd be great. Mm hmm. I melted.
That was so real and she acted it so beautifully
when you realize like, yeah, you know what, Yeah that
would be great.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Oh she did really well in the way. My one
of my favorite parts was at the at the bar
for the retirement party. They're playing pool and they're looking
at Nick sitting there and they're talking about him saving
(38:48):
orphans from a burning building or whatever, and Sam still
has no idea who he is, and he's like, he's like,
I read obituaries. I don't care about the living. And
he's like, do you know the Tennessee Williams choked on
a bottle cap or something. And the both of them
were like every time we unscrew something. She's like, she's
(39:14):
like so many times, and David Wade's jets like every
time we unscrew something. It's just the timing, the dynamic.
It made me laugh, like too hard. Yeah, I like
I appreciate the little comments like that.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah. I like the three of them. And then when
you add little who's Sam's little brother, and his new
girlfriend who is the receptionist of their editor, Ashley, I thought,
just it just rounded them out perfectly?
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Did it? Did it bother you that at the end
when she pours her heart out to Adam, he doesn't
really say much. He kind of makes a joke. It
kind of it kind of bothered me a little bit,
Like it was it was cute, but she's she was
(40:11):
like pouring her entire heart and soul out. She's crying,
and then he's like, if you ever talk that much again?
Like it was funny, but also I'd be like, fuck you.
I just was really vulnerable with you.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Okay, my friend, let me explain to you exactly why.
I'm gonna give you a glimpse into my brain. So
get ready, buckle up. I'm gonna tell you why I
loved it. If someone who talks a lot and who
a lot of times loses her train of thought, I
am aware that I am a lot in that sense,
(40:48):
So that is hot to me. A man that will
literally be like, if you ever talk that much again.
So I loved it. I ate it up with a spoon.
Call it crimber Ley because I loved it.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Like like I do, think it was cute. But then,
like when I really thought about it, I was like,
he didn't even say anything back to her, Like he
said I love you real quick when she ran off
to the game, but he didn't say anything back to
her her.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Whole I was like, girl, you talk like that again,
and then gave her a gorgeous kiss to really shut
her off. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. I
love that you had a bone to pick with that
you were like I did not like that.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, it takes a lot for me to be vulnerable
in a romantic sense. So when somebody doesn't match that energy,
that's like, that's like writing someone a really long text
message and they say, Kay, that's so annoying.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
No, that's fair, That is very fair.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, but I did. I did, Like, you know, she
the little alarm went off and she's like, oh shit,
I'm late, and she starts running and she's like, yeah,
first baseline baby, and he's like, oh, you're spoiling me.
She does like the little dance. They're so cute together.
They had a really good dynamic, really good chemistry.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah. I definitely wish we would have seen more of
them as a couple a little bit, you know those
you know how I always like the last five minutes,
you know, like five seconds or whatever. I would have
liked that because because I think that I love that
part in that little banter. So I think they would
have been really cute as a couple.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Do you think that them as a couple would be
that different as them as friends?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
No? Just no. See that's one that I buy the whole.
In the rom com they were friends and then lovers,
and I can see them just having the same chemistry
because he was so nurturing to her and I yeah,
I can see it. I can see them and I
can see them still together too.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yeah, there's a lot of history there. He knows her
whole loss, like was there for losing her mom and
all that. Like, I think that's really important.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
And that's what she said her parents had, right mm hmm.
This friendship, this like deep connection and I think, you know,
she's a lucky gal. She got it with them.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
I think that's a really important piece of a successful
relation is having that foundation of friendship, like being able
to just be with each other as friends eventually. Yeah,
not to like be a downer or anything, but passion
(44:10):
fades over time, and when you're with someone for a
long time, I mean, it's easy to get comfortable, and
there has to be something substantial to replace that lust,
that passion, the physical aspect of it. There has to
(44:30):
be something that's going to carry that relationship through the years,
and that's seeing each other as friends.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
I agree. And again, it feels comfortable. It feels good
and not you know, comfortable, not in a I guess
in a negative sense, but it's like safe. I think
she said something about feeling safe with him, Yes.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Because she she's fully herself.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
With Nick, she literally was not herself. No, she was
a whole different that had different interests.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Yeah, she was the binder character for Nick, but with
with Adam, she was herself.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Also, he's seen her through really low points, really high points.
He's seen i'm sure, like the ugly side and the
crazy side of her and still accepts her and loves her.
And that's the important thing. She doesn't she doesn't have
(45:33):
to like keep up appearances or what have you.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Yeah, and I don't want this to come off and
as any woman shaming at all, but like whatever, man,
you know, it's important to them, whatever body count or whatever. Like,
he's seen her through all that. He's helped her get
late mm hmmm. So that is her ride or die
for sure.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
He already knows all her moods and yes.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Are different. I mean they know each other's routines. When
they're themselves and they're feeling down, like they know they
know all that stuff. There's really no secrets. Yeah, well
except for him dating that girl that was a secret
from everybody.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
Yeah, I think to at some point he was like, listen,
I guess I got to move on.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Why do you think he kept her from them? Like, yeah,
he said, I got her number. I went on a
couple of dates with this person, but totally like he
he mentioned the dates to Mac, he told everybody else about,
(46:49):
like getting a number on his own. He said the
date thing to Mac, but never mentioned it to Little
or Sam. So when the girlfriend all of a sudden
came out of nowhere when they were bowling, it was
it was weird because she's like, oh, I've heard all
(47:09):
about you, and then what do you say to somebody
like that when you're like, I didn't even know you
fucking existed.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
It is weird. I don't know if you caught this though,
but apparently they don't bring anyone around unless they feel
serious about them. So I get that. But I agree
with you because I if I met the friends and
the friends knew nothing about me, that is a right,
yes for sure, Like, come on, I'm great, you should
be telling everybody about me. Okay.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
It's one thing to not want to introduce somebody yet
until you're like, okay, this, I feel serious about this person,
I want to take it to the next level whatever,
But to not even mention that you're seeing someone that
you're talking to someone that's weird.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yeah, or not even and say that she's gonna show
up that night like that's yeah, Yeah, it was all weird.
They were all looking at each other funny, and she's
like I think from that moment she was probably like, Okay,
what did I get myself into here? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (48:14):
I would totally feel that at tension if I were
her and I these people don't know who I am.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Yeah, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
Are you ready to rate this movie?
Speaker 1 (48:30):
Let's do it. Let's rate this movie.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Okay, on the scale of one to five. Newspaper emoji?
What do you rate players?
Speaker 1 (48:41):
I rate players four? Newspapers emoji. I I am going
back to my old way of rating here for a second.
The only reason I don't give it a five is
because I would have liked it. The movie was long,
and I would have liked to see them together. Because
of that, those two points, but length, you had time
(49:04):
to give me more of them, and you didn't. I'm
gonna go with a four. But I overall really really
enjoy the movie. It was funny. Why do you rate
this movie? I'm curious we.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Are on the same wave length. I also give this
four stars. I don't give it a complete perfect score.
But I thought it was great. I really liked the cast.
Everybody did a job. It was very funny, even though
(49:40):
it was a predictable plot, you know, but that's okay.
It's like it's very comforting to know what's coming. No,
I really I enjoyed it a lot. Was it was
a pleasant surprise.
Speaker 6 (50:00):
Yes, I think I saw I think I saw this
the day that it dropped, either the day or the
day after, because as soon as I turned on Netflix,
it was right there and it was like, you know,
new movie, and.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
I was like, oh shit, it's a new rom com.
It was good, more on the longer side of a
rom com, like you said. But I wasn't bored in
any any part of the movie.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
So I liked this movie.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah. I also liked the I guess diversity of it.
I liked that the main characters are not white.
Speaker 3 (50:44):
M M.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
I'm telling you. I had such a crush on Gina
Rodriguez in this movie.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Gorgeous her face, her body, her hair, everything, her personality. Yeah, yeah, everything. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
I loved her, big fan.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Yeah. Those literally and I've already talked about it, but
those were literally my two like main notes that I
wanted to make sure I said, which was Teto Drigez's
gorgeous and Adam is like a grown up version of
Coach and I liked it.
Speaker 5 (51:15):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
I'm glad we're back on the same wave the wedding
planner we were. You shocked me with that score that
you gave.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Them what happened. I haven't seen it again. I don't
think I ever will. I'm just kidding.
