00:00:25
Hello.
00:00:26
Hello.
00:00:27
Happy Tuesday!
00:00:29
Look at us go!
00:00:31
Tuesday.
00:00:33
Yeah, the Tuesday -ists of the days.
00:00:37
We started this because it rhymed with boo's day.
00:00:40
Like boo.
00:00:41
Yeah.
00:00:42
But then we were like, booze.
00:00:44
Yeah.
00:00:44
Kinda sends the wrong message.
00:00:46
Yeah.
00:00:47
We did our best.
00:00:49
Anyways, welcome back to Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:53
Hello.
00:00:54
yeah.
00:00:56
We're here to talk about Jennifer's Body.
00:01:00
We are.
00:01:02
I have a few news to start with.
00:01:08
Please do that.
00:01:11
Right?
00:01:11
You should start.
00:01:12
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna start.
00:01:14
I'm gonna start.
00:01:16
So Mark Duplass got a TikTok account, followed that immediately.
00:01:22
Anyways, he was posting little teasers that an announcement was coming.
00:01:28
And one of them was him dressed as Peach Fuzz from the Creep series.
00:01:33
So everybody got all excited.
00:01:35
Previously, they had said that there was gonna be a third film to wrap up that
00:01:38
series as a trilogy.
00:01:41
However, it has been confirmed as of today, which we're filming this on June
00:01:45
4th, sorry.
00:01:47
Today, June 4th, that IndieWire has officially broken the news that instead of
00:01:53
a new movie, it's gonna be a TV series called The Creep Tapes.
00:01:57
So the first season apparently has already made it through production and it's just
00:02:02
being optioned
00:02:03
to potential buyers now, so.
00:02:05
How?
00:02:06
Very exciting stuff.
00:02:07
I like that series.
00:02:09
You don't know what I'm talking about, but you will one day.
00:02:12
know who you're talking about.
00:02:13
But I do think, one little comment, I do think that that's the way to get like a
00:02:18
show sold is to just make it and then get the hype and then they're gonna buy it for
00:02:26
more.
00:02:27
I mean, if you have the money, yeah.
00:02:30
Obviously, everybody can't just make a TV show and hope that someone buys it.
00:02:35
But I do think it's, yeah, it's a smart way, especially when there's already fans
00:02:41
of a series to kind of get hype around it, to show that there is an interest in it.
00:02:48
So yeah, I'm excited.
00:02:49
I would watch the shit out of that.
00:02:52
Alien Romulus just dropped its trailer.
00:02:55
I saw that, well I didn't watch it.
00:02:58
Did you watch it?
00:02:59
I did like 15 times.
00:03:00
We get some chest burster action, some face hugger action.
00:03:06
There's obviously a Xenomorph scene.
00:03:09
They're screaming, they're space stuff.
00:03:10
It looks good.
00:03:11
It looks so good.
00:03:13
The cast looks amazing.
00:03:14
The effects look amazing.
00:03:16
It's kind of low light, which you hate, but I think that adds to space.
00:03:21
So I'm not mad about it.
00:03:22
be able to see what's happening.
00:03:24
Well, you're in space.
00:03:24
I don't care.
00:03:26
I want to be able to see the movie.
00:03:29
If there's alien chest -bursters, then I can suspend my belief for that.
00:03:35
I can also suspend my belief for there being a light source where there maybe
00:03:39
shouldn't be.
00:03:41
Weirdly enough, I'm gonna go back to Lord of the Rings for a second and say, what
00:03:46
was it, Peter Jackson, who said, somebody asked him where the light's coming from at
00:03:49
the night scenes, and he said the same place the music is.
00:03:52
fair.
00:03:52
you, it's a fucking movie, I wanna see it.
00:03:57
Yeah, anyways.
00:03:58
I know Lord of the Rings.
00:04:00
Next from, well, I guess last little news that I had, The Hollywood Reporter has
00:04:05
confirmed that Paul Giamatti is set to play a key role in an upcoming Hostel TV
00:04:12
series.
00:04:14
The show's gonna be coming to us from Fifth Season, which is the studio that was
00:04:18
behind Severance on Apple.
00:04:20
And apparently the show is gonna be reinventing the franchise as an elevated
00:04:26
thriller.
00:04:26
Having seen Hostel, multiple of the films in that, I'm struggling to see how it
00:04:32
could be elevated, but I guess we'll see.
00:04:37
Isn't that the blue guy from that movie, Liar or something?
00:04:41
Big Fat Liar.
00:04:43
Yes, Paul Giamatti was in the hit made for TV film.
00:04:50
Was it?
00:04:50
I think so.
00:04:52
Yes, he played Marty Wolfe in Big Fat Liar.
00:04:55
Cute.
00:04:55
Great film.
00:04:56
I can't imagine him in anything other than like a slapstick comedy, but...
00:05:01
No, he's done like more serious roles.
00:05:04
He does comedy as well, obviously, but I think he had even said that he really
00:05:08
loves horror and he wanted to kind of expand into that genre, so yeah.
00:05:13
Okay, well.
00:05:14
Last one for me.
00:05:16
Black Mirror is getting a sequel sort of.
00:05:20
The USS Callister episode is getting a sequel.
00:05:24
That's the Star Trek inspired episode from season four starring Jesse Plemons.
00:05:29
Charlie Brooker, the series creator, confirmed that that sequel has actually
00:05:32
been in the works since that episode aired.
00:05:36
Like almost 10 years ago, eight years ago, seven years ago.
00:05:40
Because it ends with a really perfect sequel tee up.
00:05:43
But he wouldn't confirm if it's the original cast that's involved, so we don't
00:05:46
know if it's a direct sequel.
00:05:47
We'll just have to wait until season 7 comes out next year.
00:05:51
Okay, so it is going to be an episode in the new season.
00:05:56
Got it.
00:05:56
Okay.
00:05:58
Yep.
00:05:58
Kind of fun.
00:06:00
Yeah, I don't hate that.
00:06:01
I did like that episode.
00:06:05
you've seen it?
00:06:06
Great.
00:06:07
don't remember it, but I have seen it.
00:06:09
I know for a fact.
00:06:11
I don't remember any of that.
00:06:12
It's just so confusing.
00:06:13
Anthologies are just so hard to keep track of.
00:06:16
It's like watching 10 movies in a row.
00:06:19
It's very hard to keep track of.
00:06:20
Well, yeah, there's only like, max six episodes a season, so...
00:06:25
Six movies in a row is a lot of movies.
00:06:27
Yeah, I guess.
00:06:28
No one made you watch them all in a row, though.
00:06:31
You could have, like...
00:06:33
Yeah.
00:06:34
I mean, still, I watched all of them and there's like 35 of them.
00:06:38
That was actually a trivia question today on our work trivia.
00:06:45
It was the well, it was the tiebreaker question, which is always like a value.
00:06:49
So it was like, how many episodes are there, including Bandersnatch of Black
00:06:52
Mirror?
00:06:53
I put 37.
00:06:54
Was that right?
00:06:55
I don't know.
00:06:56
I didn't...
00:06:56
I don't get the results until tomorrow.
00:06:59
I feel like after I answered, I would look it up to see if I was right.
00:07:04
Yeah.
00:07:04
I'm not that invested in work trivia.
00:07:07
Me neither since I don't even do it.
00:07:10
One day, one day I'll get involved.
00:07:12
yeah, I will.
00:07:13
Alright, are you ready to talk about Jennifer's Body?
00:07:17
Alright.
00:07:19
In case it's been a while since you've seen Jennifer's Body, or if you've never
00:07:21
seen it and you just want spoilers anyway, it is, or I guess, let me start over.
00:07:27
This is a little review of it from Google.
00:07:31
When a demon takes possession over her, Jennifer, played by Megan Fox, turns a
00:07:36
hungry eye on guys who never stood a chance with her before.
00:07:40
While Jennifer satisfies her appetite for human flesh with the school's male
00:07:43
population, her nerdy friend, Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried, learns what's
00:07:48
happening and vows to put an end to the carnage.
00:07:50
It is directed by Karyn Kusama.
00:07:53
It is written by Diablo Cody, who also did Lisa Frankenstein.
00:07:56
We talked about that earlier this year.
00:07:59
It stars Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, obviously.
00:08:03
It didn't do amazingly at the box office.
00:08:07
It grossed $31 .6 million against a budget of $16 million and it received mixed
00:08:13
reviews from critics.
00:08:15
However, in the wake of the Me Too movement, it was described as a feminist
00:08:19
cult classic.
00:08:21
Definitely has had some tides turning, however, it does have a 5 .5 currently on
00:08:26
IMDb and it still has a 46 % critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:08:31
They haven't changed enough to change those scores, but it definitely has a very
00:08:36
large cult following at this point.
00:08:38
Yeah.
00:08:39
Megan Fox doesn't like to call it a cult following.
00:08:41
She said it's just a following now.
00:08:44
It's large enough that it's no longer a cult.
00:08:47
It's an appropriate portion of the population.
00:08:51
Honestly, that's pretty fair.
00:08:53
I feel like it was a cult following for a long time, but in more recent years, I
00:09:00
rarely hear people talk badly about this movie.
00:09:03
Where should we start?
00:09:04
Let's start with the marketing.
00:09:06
Okay.
00:09:07
Do you have anything for that or do you want me to keep talking?
00:09:09
No, I mean, they did a terrible job marketing it.
00:09:13
They did an absolutely terrible job.
00:09:15
The test screenings were filled with fraternity brothers.
00:09:19
And I don't remember if it was Diablo Cody or if it was the director that
00:09:24
specifically said, do not market this to men.
00:09:26
It's not a boy movie.
00:09:28
Yeah, I think it was both, but...
00:09:30
And they did it anyway.
00:09:32
Yeah, yeah, they, at one point the producers wanted Megan Fox to host, like,
00:09:41
Q &A sessions on amateur porn sites to promote the movie.
00:09:46
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:48
And that was Karyn Kusama who was like, don't even say that to her.
00:09:52
Like, that's crushing.
00:09:54
Do not even mention that you wanted to do that.
00:09:56
We're not doing that.
00:09:57
And don't even say that to Megan, because that's just disgusting.
00:10:01
Belittling.
00:10:04
Yeah.
00:10:05
not at all what the movie's about.
00:10:06
So like, it doesn't even make sense.
00:10:09
Yeah, the studio had an all male marketing department, if that gives you any idea
00:10:13
where those ideas were coming from.
00:10:16
Yeah, it's just terrible.
00:10:19
Yeah, yeah, it was definitely just not the way that it should have been advertised.
00:10:27
I don't even think it was advertised as like a comedy horror.
00:10:30
It was like just a straight horror mixed with like hot Megan Fox.
00:10:34
And that was what they were pushing.
00:10:37
And yeah, like you said, just primarily marketing towards young men, which like no
00:10:42
offense, I really hope young men like and appreciate this movie, but like it wasn't
00:10:46
really for men.
00:10:47
It's movies for the gays and the girls.
00:10:49
Let's be honest.
00:10:51
absolutely.
00:10:53
Yeah.
00:10:53
Yeah.
00:10:55
In the 10 year anniversary interview that Megan Fox and Diablo Cody did together,
00:11:02
they were talking about how, well, Diablo Cody brought up Transformers and was like,
00:11:08
are we allowed to talk about that?
00:11:09
And Megan Fox talked about how like she had come full circle and is now like,
00:11:14
okay, talking about Transformers.
00:11:16
And then Diablo Cody said she had the exact same experience where this movie
00:11:20
came out.
00:11:21
It was really terrible for her.
00:11:23
It flopped.
00:11:24
She was like being made fun of on Twitter by her peers.
00:11:28
And she said that the advertising of it was largely to blame because I mean, if
00:11:33
you advertise to the wrong audience, the wrong audience is going to see it and
00:11:35
they're going to trash it.
00:11:37
Yeah.
00:11:38
And then I think I even read something about her saying that she was so happy
00:11:43
that now there's so many people who love and defend this movie, but it also kind of
00:11:49
made her like a little bit mad because she's like, where were you all like when
00:11:55
it came out?
00:11:56
I always knew that this was a good movie.
00:11:58
So yeah, I can't imagine how frustrating that would have been to make something.
00:12:06
Right, and just to make something that you really truly believe is good and then have
00:12:10
so many people tell you it's not, it's no wonder that it took her so long to do
00:12:16
another horror movie.
00:12:17
Yeah, and I think the, the bit or what she said was like the most heartbreaking thing
00:12:25
is that she had just come off of Juno.
00:12:27
Juno was a huge success.
00:12:30
She was basically given carte blanche to do whatever she wanted.
00:12:34
And so she did what she wanted to do, which a lot of directors at that stage,
00:12:37
like their sophomore feature are not given that opportunity.
00:12:40
Like that's just not heard of.
00:12:43
So she
00:12:44
did her dream project, which was a horror movie, female focused, female friendship,
00:12:49
about literally about a girl who eats boys.
00:12:51
And just for it to be marketed inappropriately and fall flat was like,
00:12:57
that's traumatizing, I feel for her.
00:13:00
Yeah, that wouldn't be fun.
00:13:03
If it helps, day one I was a fan.
00:13:07
Same.
00:13:08
I was the audience that they should have been marketing to.
00:13:13
Luckily I did see it and I knew that it was what it was supposed to be.
00:13:19
Mm -hmm.
00:13:20
I think even back in my years of not liking horror I would have enjoyed this
00:13:27
very much Because honestly fuck boys.
00:13:30
Fuck men.
00:13:31
Not not Not like that.
00:13:33
You know what I'm saying
00:13:34
Yeah.
00:13:35
I'm not eating people, Needy.
00:13:37
I'm eating boys.
00:13:41
Yeah, it's pretty, I mean, yeah.
00:13:44
It's iconic now.
00:13:46
I literally have a picture of Jennifer Check right over there.
00:13:50
Yeah, as you should, as everyone should.
00:13:54
Queen.
00:13:54
It also, like this movie has the best screenplay, like the best script, lines,
00:14:02
you know, words that are being spoken of any dialogue, thank you, of any of the,
00:14:09
any movie we've watched without question.
00:14:12
But it does have very quotable lines.
00:14:14
It is very like her style, where it's like even Juno, even Lisa Frankenstein, it's
00:14:21
like...
00:14:22
She almost makes up her own slang.
00:14:25
And it sounds so weird, but the actors always make it work so you don't even
00:14:30
question it.
00:14:33
Like, yeah, of course I'm going to start calling being on my period plugging.
00:14:37
Like, why wouldn't I?
00:14:40
That's incredible.
00:14:42
Yeah, and I immediately started using the word salty in a completely different way
00:14:46
than it is acceptable to use now.
00:14:50
Yeah, now it's like, you're mad.
00:14:52
She was using this like, a salty morsel.
00:14:55
Yeah, which is so funny because in the 10 year anniversary interview that I was
00:15:00
watching, she says that she was salty about the marketing.
00:15:03
And I'm like, that's not what you thought that that meant 10 years ago.
00:15:08
Well, I mean, it didn't mean that 10 years ago, so...
00:15:12
But yeah, I love, especially now, I know there have been interviews where Megan Fox
00:15:17
and Amanda Seyfried have both said that this was like their favorite movie that
00:15:20
they've done.
00:15:21
So I love that.
00:15:24
And they've.
00:15:25
seen a lot of both of their movies.
00:15:26
It's my favorite that they've done it, too.
00:15:27
Yeah.
00:15:28
Why wouldn't it be?
00:15:30
I mean Transformers is up there.
00:15:31
Les Mis - up there.
00:15:32
Okay.
00:15:33
I was thinking like, Mean Girls, for Amanda Seyfried.
00:15:36
I don't like Mean Girls.
00:15:37
Okay, you can be wrong.
00:15:39
I've just had a bad experience with one of the actors.
00:15:42
That's so stupid.
00:15:44
I love Mean Girls.
00:15:46
A tale for another time.
00:15:47
This movie reminded me a lot of...
00:15:51
Ginger Snaps.
00:15:51
As it should.
00:15:52
Yeah, this is it.
00:15:55
Don't hate me.
00:15:56
This is better than Ginger Snaps.
00:15:59
Substantially better.
00:16:00
No, I agree.
00:16:03
I love Ginger Snaps.
00:16:04
Ginger Snaps is great.
00:16:06
This is better.
00:16:08
This is, this is way much, way better.
00:16:12
of Ginger Snaps.
00:16:13
That Ginger Snaps walked so that this movie could also walk because people don't
00:16:16
have good taste.
00:16:18
Say it.
00:16:18
Yep.
00:16:18
You know, you're so right.
00:16:19
You're so right.
00:16:21
Yeah.
00:16:22
should have ran.
00:16:24
Yes.
00:16:25
I feel like it did run compared to Ginger Snaps.
00:16:28
Sorry.
00:16:30
Snaps does have a huge cult following.
00:16:34
be considered a cult following because it's not as huge as Jennifer's Body's
00:16:38
following.
00:16:39
Yeah.
00:16:39
Snaps is still a cult classic, whereas this one I'm just moving into classic
00:16:44
status.
00:16:47
Yeah, but yeah, there are definitely a lot of similarities in the story that it's
00:16:53
telling.
00:16:53
Yeah, totally.
00:16:54
And that's why I love them both.
00:16:56
Yeah.
00:16:57
Speaking of Transformers.
00:16:58
Great.
00:17:00
Yeah.
00:17:01
auditioned for Transformers.
00:17:03
Little invisible string.
00:17:05
Yeah.
00:17:06
You think that'd be like fun?
00:17:08
Be like, my god, you got the job that I wanted.
00:17:11
No, actually, when you put it that way.
00:17:14
I think if I was Amanda Seyfried or Megan Fox, I wouldn't be that mad about it.
00:17:19
Like, they've had fine careers.
00:17:22
So I'm sure they're used to, like, not getting parts all the time, you know?
00:17:26
Yeah.
00:17:27
Yeah.
00:17:28
Yeah, and I'm sure Megan Fox told Amanda all about how terrible it was filming that
00:17:32
movie, so.
00:17:33
Took one for the team, unfortunately.
00:17:35
Yeah.
00:17:36
But kind of in the same line of that, there were, I know Emma Stone was
00:17:40
considered for the role of Needy.
00:17:43
Brie Larson auditioned for the role of Needy.
00:17:45
And then I think Blake Lively turned down the role of Jennifer Check because she had
00:17:50
scheduling conflicts with Gossip Girl.
00:17:53
Which is funny, and I keep calling back to this 10 year anniversary interview that I
00:18:01
watched.
00:18:02
But in that, Diablo Cody was like, yeah, it was always Megan Fox.
00:18:06
We didn't even consider anybody else.
00:18:08
But I did see the same thing that said Blake Lively turned down the role.
00:18:11
So conflicting stories, Diablo.
00:18:14
Well, maybe like a producer or something wanted like Lively.
00:18:18
She always wanted.
00:18:20
I just like, I don't think I could see Blake Lively in this role.
00:18:24
I don't know.
00:18:25
I like her a lot.
00:18:28
a person or as an actor?
00:18:30
Yeah.
00:18:31
I just never thought she was that good of an actress.
00:18:36
Did you see that the movie that she was in, Age of Adeline?
00:18:38
No, because it looked bad.
00:18:41
Okay.
00:18:43
I'll take your word on it.
00:18:45
She wasn't bad in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants either.
00:18:47
I don't remember that movie at all.
00:18:50
It's like a staple of middle school.
00:18:54
Not for me.
00:18:55
Sorry.
00:18:58
It was fine.
00:19:00
I just don't remember like, I remember watching it once and then never caring
00:19:06
about it again after that.
00:19:07
Thanks.
00:19:09
Yeah, sorry.
00:19:10
Sorry, Sister of the Traveling Pants fans.
00:19:14
Other casting news, they also considered Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy and Joel
00:19:21
Madden from Good Charlotte for the role of Nikolai.
00:19:25
Lead singer boy guy.
00:19:27
It would have been a lot more fun if it was somebody recognizable.
00:19:30
That would have been more fun for me, but...
00:19:33
Adam Brody is very recognizable for me, so yeah.
00:19:39
I never saw the OC.
00:19:40
He was also in Mr.
00:19:41
and Mrs.
00:19:42
Smith.
00:19:44
The original.
00:19:46
Not the new one with that rapper.
00:19:49
Childish Gambino.
00:19:51
I literally just saw a TikTok talking about how he's like one of the most
00:19:54
talented men in Hollywood.
00:19:55
And I was like, yeah, you're absolutely fucking right.
00:19:59
100%.
00:19:59
I fucking love him.
00:20:01
And then I watched the This is America video like nine times.
00:20:07
One of the best music videos of all time.
00:20:09
Period.
00:20:10
honestly, and that video is much scarier than anything we've ever watched.
00:20:14
yeah.
00:20:15
Heesh.
00:20:16
Did you see the TikTok that he just posted the other day?
00:20:19
No.
00:20:19
He's sitting on a horse backwards and the horse is just pissing.
00:20:24
And I don't even know what the sound is or anything.
00:20:26
And but you're just like, you didn't know it was him.
00:20:30
Like the first thing you watch is the horse peeing and then you look up and it's
00:20:35
him and you're like, okay.
00:20:37
here?
00:20:39
Yeah.
00:20:40
Interesting.
00:20:40
Anyways, I always had a crush on Adam Brody, so I was fine to see him in this
00:20:46
with the guyliner.
00:20:49
Yeah, like he sucks, but he's hot.
00:20:52
He sucks?
00:20:52
Why does he suck?
00:20:54
No, not him, like the character in the band leader who's sacrificing someone.
00:21:00
He sucks.
00:21:02
I don't know anything about Adam Brody except I think he's married to...
00:21:08
Isn't he married to Blair from Gossip Girl?
00:21:12
Leighton Meester?
00:21:13
Beats me.
00:21:13
I feel like they were.
00:21:14
Anyways, he's hot in this, so.
00:21:16
Also, that song has no business being that fucking good.
00:21:21
It's all right.
00:21:22
No.
00:21:23
This is what's gonna start a fight between us.
00:21:26
That song fucking slaps.
00:21:30
Thank you, it's so good.
00:21:33
I need it on Spotify.
00:21:36
No.
00:21:37
Where do you listen to it?
00:21:39
I put it on repeat on YouTube.
00:21:43
Yeah, it is.
00:21:45
Yeah.
00:21:46
Through the trees.
00:21:50
It's good.
00:21:50
You've played it on stream before.
00:21:53
So many times.
00:21:55
Just with a YouTube link in the back.
00:21:57
Yeah, I'll just pull up YouTube and then play it.
00:21:59
Okay, cute.
00:22:00
We had a watch party in our Discord of the movie.
00:22:03
You didn't make it for some reason.
00:22:06
And ever since then, we all love the song.
00:22:10
Cause it's good.
00:22:13
Really?
00:22:15
Not a movie you want to watch with friends?
00:22:17
No.
00:22:19
Well, I mean, yeah, I would now.
00:22:20
You wanted to feel the full force of it?
00:22:23
Okay.
00:22:24
Yeah.
00:22:26
Got it.
00:22:27
I like to make fun of movies with friends.
00:22:29
You know what I mean?
00:22:31
And I don't want to see any of you fuckers making fun of the movie while I'm watching
00:22:35
it.
00:22:36
Not that movie.
00:22:37
Other movies.
00:22:38
Fine.
00:22:39
I mean I will say there was no making fun of this movie because it's a good movie.
00:22:48
So, kinda hard to make fun of it.
00:22:53
You know, there's a musical that was released on YouTube.
00:22:57
Have you seen it?
00:22:58
I haven't, but I almost went to see it live because a girl that I worked with was
00:23:04
playing Jennifer for a show.
00:23:09
Yeah, she's the girl that was on the Glee Project and then Glee and then Broadway.
00:23:16
And then played Elphaba on Broadway because she's that bitch.
00:23:21
Yeah, yeah.
00:23:23
Shout out, Lindsay.
00:23:24
We weren't even that close, to be honest.
00:23:25
She was really good friends with one of my friends.
00:23:28
But she was so nice to me all the time.
00:23:30
Loved her.
00:23:31
I'm only one degree of separation away from her.
00:23:34
Yeah.
00:23:34
The Girl Who Plays Jennifer in Jennifer's Body, the Unauthorized Musical, 2018.
00:23:38
the girl who played Elphaba on Broadway.
00:23:41
And the Gerber baby in Glee.
00:23:44
Hahaha!
00:23:45
That is oddly specific.
00:23:48
That's who she played!
00:23:50
Crazy.
00:23:51
But she was super talented and I was sad.
00:23:53
I want to say I had to work the day or like the next morning and I worked at like
00:23:57
5 AM, so I was like, I can't, I can't do it.
00:24:00
But I would have loved to have seen it.
00:24:02
I need sleep, kd.
00:24:04
does a play start?
00:24:05
Seven?
00:24:06
How long does it last?
00:24:07
Two hours?
00:24:08
I want to say it started at like eight or nine.
00:24:10
Sorry, I should have gone.
00:24:13
I know.
00:24:15
Okay.
00:24:16
I plan to.
00:24:17
Great, me too.
00:24:19
Good.
00:24:20
so, Colin, played by Kyle, Kyle, my god I just forgot his fucking name.
00:24:29
Kyle Gallner.
00:24:31
Sorry.
00:24:32
Which also, we literally, he was just in one of the Scream movies, which we talked
00:24:36
about.
00:24:37
Anyways, he's in Scream 5.
00:24:40
Who is he playing?
00:24:41
Stu Macher's nephew that gets killed in Scream 5.
00:24:48
Yeah.
00:24:50
Yeah.
00:24:51
He's like kind of a Scream King.
00:24:54
He's in a lot a little.
00:24:55
Yeah, he's in more than you'd think.
00:24:58
Anyways, at one point in the movie, he invites Jennifer to go see Rocky Horror at
00:25:03
the Bijou.
00:25:04
That is a reference.
00:25:06
Bijou, sorry.
00:25:08
That just came out, too.
00:25:10
Be you.
00:25:10
Beeshoo.
00:25:14
Anyways, it's a reference to a student -run movie theater at the University of
00:25:17
Iowa because Diablo Cody went to the University of Iowa.
00:25:21
Every fucking episode that we do of this godforsaken podcast, you have some new fun
00:25:26
thing from Iowa and you're always complaining about how it's just all we
00:25:30
have from Iowa's Frodo Baggins.
00:25:32
crazy.
00:25:33
She's not from there.
00:25:35
We just went to the same school.
00:25:37
Well...
00:25:39
University of Iowa's got some big names.
00:25:42
What can I say?
00:25:43
Name five.
00:25:43
Diablo Cody, Gene Wilder.
00:25:47
Mm hmm.
00:25:49
What?
00:25:49
Really?
00:25:52
that's a pretty big name.
00:25:53
basketball all of a sudden?
00:25:55
Fair.
00:25:56
Fair.
00:25:58
That's a whole thing right now.
00:25:59
my god, I can't get away from it.
00:26:00
Yeah, I feel like it was almost like more when she was in college.
00:26:06
I feel like the conversation has kind of died down a little bit, although I'm still
00:26:09
seeing stuff about her, but yeah.
00:26:13
yeah.
00:26:15
Yeah.
00:26:16
Anyway, University of Iowa, huh?
00:26:18
I love things from the University of Iowa and I love things that piss off men.
00:26:22
Jennifer's Body, Caitlin Clark.
00:26:25
Yes, but Caitlin Clark's been pissing off women too.
00:26:28
That's not ideal.
00:26:29
Women, stop being so petty.
00:26:32
Support each other.
00:26:33
sometimes.
00:26:35
Support women, support women, please.
00:26:39
Do you wanna know like my weirdest interesting thing about this movie?
00:26:44
Mm -hmm.
00:26:44
is that like it kind of has this like sub like a tiny tiny little like subplot.
00:26:51
that is about 9/11.
00:26:56
Which sounds weird.
00:26:57
But it's so they mention it twice, one at the beginning when she has the shots that
00:27:01
are like the like towers or whatever.
00:27:04
the left tower's not full enough.
00:27:06
Yes.
00:27:07
And then when they're back at school after the fire, Needy like overhears the girls
00:27:14
talking and one of them says like her dad has PTSD from Operation Freedom, which was
00:27:19
a post 9/11 operative.
00:27:23
But then it kind of like mirrors that whole thing in a sense of like criticizing
00:27:29
how we handle and capitalize off of tragedies because then,
00:27:34
when they have this song that blows up and they're saying it's about this tragedy and
00:27:38
stuff, which count on one hand how many songs came out about 9/11.
00:27:42
and like profiting off of it and then Needy like criticizes that and everybody
00:27:47
just jumps on her and says, you don't know anything.
00:27:50
Like this is, you have to support them.
00:27:52
Otherwise you're, you know, not supporting the town or the country.
00:27:57
And I just thought that that was so interesting that it was like,
00:28:00
These very, like, brief moments in there that were kind of a criticism off of...
00:28:04
that specific thing.
00:28:06
But I also think a lot of movies that came out post 9/11 have things about 9/11 that
00:28:11
we just don't really think about that much.
00:28:14
It's a very big impact on our society.
00:28:17
great memes.
00:28:18
Well...
00:28:19
You know that movie with Robert Pattinson?
00:28:23
Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:28:25
For those who don't know what I'm talking about.
00:28:27
It's this whole ass movie about like...
00:28:30
I don't know.
00:28:30
It's like...
00:28:31
Is that what it's called?
00:28:32
Remember Me?
00:28:33
Yeah, it's like this romance movie and he like has a...
00:28:36
Like a sibling that he's trying to like get out of foster care or something.
00:28:38
I don't know what the fuck.
00:28:40
And he's like going to like make up or something.
00:28:42
I don't fucking know.
00:28:43
But anyway, the last scene of the movie, he's standing in front of this chalkboard
00:28:48
and it's like today's date is September 11th and the camera just pans out slowly.
00:28:55
until you see that he's in one of the Trade Center buildings.
00:28:59
Yeah, that was...
00:29:03
From what I've heard, the most out of left field twist that a movie has ever had.
00:29:08
Because apparently there's like no inclination that this is even a thing,
00:29:13
other than it being set in 2001.
00:29:17
I've actually never even seen the movie, but everybody talks about the twist so
00:29:20
much that like I already know it.
00:29:22
Yeah, the only reason that I know about the movie at all is because I saw the
00:29:26
twist on TikTok.
00:29:29
really?
00:29:29
That's when you heard about it?
00:29:31
Mm -hmm.
00:29:31
Yeah, like not even that long ago, like six months ago.
00:29:34
Did you like not consume media before TikTok?
00:29:36
Not really.
00:29:38
great.
00:29:39
TikTok has done wonders for me.
00:29:41
Tell you what.
00:29:42
Tell you what.
00:29:43
I like it, yeah.
00:29:45
I don't like it, but you know.
00:29:47
Yeah.
00:29:47
That's it.
00:29:49
you don't have any other fun facts?
00:29:51
I do.
00:29:51
Megan Fox lost 15 pounds and stayed out of the sun for four months to get her more
00:29:59
frail and pale.
00:30:01
Yeah.
00:30:02
Commit to the bit.
00:30:04
She got down to like 97 pounds.
00:30:06
That's not...
00:30:08
She's 5 '4".
00:30:09
That's not a...
00:30:10
I'm not a doctor.
00:30:13
That doesn't seem good to me.
00:30:15
No way.
00:30:17
So, you know, it's between you and your doctor, but that does not seem like a
00:30:23
healthy weight for that height.
00:30:25
Yeah, I just like with how like women centric and women empowerment the like
00:30:33
crew of the film seemed I'm surprised that they let that happen.
00:30:39
That's like the only thing about this whole movie that kind of rubbed me the
00:30:42
wrong way.
00:30:43
And I mean, I didn't even notice it.
00:30:45
It wasn't I mean, obviously she looked like gaunt.
00:30:48
But I didn't know that was because she lost 15 pounds.
00:30:50
Like I didn't look at her and say, she lost weight.
00:30:52
I just looked at her like, she's ill for the movie.
00:30:56
You know what I mean?
00:30:56
Like it didn't have like a tangible impact on the film.
00:30:59
So reading that fact after the fact was kind of you for me.
00:31:04
Like why would they make her do that?
00:31:07
I mean, I guess I don't really know like the context of which she did that.
00:31:12
Like we don't know if that was something they told her to do or if she did on her
00:31:16
own for the part or like, I don't know.
00:31:20
Yeah.
00:31:22
This was also 2009.
00:31:23
you know.
00:31:24
pre -when sickness became a hot thing.
00:31:28
Yeah, fair.
00:31:28
Hmm.
00:31:29
I like that her last name was not originally going to be Check.
00:31:33
That was just a placeholder name because Diablo Cody would like when she was doing
00:31:38
markers or writing or whatever, she, you know, Needy - check, Jennifer - check,
00:31:43
like checking things off of her list.
00:31:45
And so I just started calling her Jennifer Check and then it stuck.
00:31:48
Yeah, I like it.
00:31:49
Watching the subtitles, I definitely thought, I mean, I heard it before I saw
00:31:53
it in the subtitles.
00:31:55
I thought it was gonna be like, Czech, like the country, like the spelled that
00:31:58
way.
00:32:00
Not like the literally the word check mark.
00:32:04
Yeah.
00:32:04
Do you have you seen the director's cut?
00:32:07
I think I want to say yes a long time ago.
00:32:11
I have not.
00:32:12
I couldn't find it.
00:32:15
But -
00:32:15
want to say one of my friends had it in the high schools.
00:32:21
Yeah, I think so.
00:32:24
We'll have five minutes of extra footage.
00:32:26
It was removed from home video release and from a bunch of countries for violence and
00:32:36
graphic sex, specifically between Needy and Jennifer.
00:32:40
Yeah, their scene was going to be a lot more intense.
00:32:44
unfortunately for us.
00:32:49
I think at first Diablo Cody didn't write them as like even kissing.
00:32:54
And then she was like.
00:32:55
Never mind, let's go full throttle and roll like a steamy hot sex scene, which
00:33:01
they apparently filmed.
00:33:02
But then I guess like during it too, Megan Fox like pushed them to kind of make it
00:33:06
more softer and.
00:33:09
Yeah.
00:33:11
Honestly, like a little bit more like female focused, I feel like, than like
00:33:14
through like a male gaze.
00:33:17
male gaze.
00:33:18
I mean between that and the other scene that got cut the so Jennifer's demon
00:33:24
possession was based on succubi obviously succubi were known to feed on their male
00:33:31
prey's semen and one of the cut scenes was Jennifer feeding on testicles.
00:33:37
Yeah, I could do - That's fine.
00:33:39
You can cut that.
00:33:43
No, the dismembering part, yeah, but the feeding on the...
00:33:47
No, I'm good.
00:33:49
They also...
00:33:50
had done that, it would have like geared into the like...
00:33:53
Like it's basically like a cum shot is what it would have ended up being.
00:33:58
it wouldn't.
00:33:59
I mean, I feel like Diablo Cody would have done it tastefully like she did the penis
00:34:02
scene in Lisa Frankenstein.
00:34:04
Well, she just wrote it, she didn't direct it.
00:34:07
I do trust in Karyn Kusama as well though.
00:34:09
But, I don't know, I just feel like that could have gone in a direction that I
00:34:15
wouldn't have enjoyed.
00:34:16
Well, it's one of the scenes that was filmed supposedly or was like cut and the
00:34:20
director's cut.
00:34:21
So it's out there.
00:34:22
the more I'm thinking about it, the more I think I probably haven't seen the
00:34:25
director's cut then.
00:34:27
Because those scenes don't sound familiar to me, but I could have swore I watched
00:34:31
the director's cut.
00:34:32
It's probably a different movie.
00:34:36
There's so many movies I've seen.
00:34:39
The other thing that they cut supposedly was...
00:34:42
Is it Bill Fagerbakke?
00:34:44
Bill Fagerbakke?
00:34:45
Is that how you say his name?
00:34:47
He plays somebody's dad, but he also plays Patrick Star from Spongebob.
00:34:53
it was too recognizable as Patrick from Spongebob, so they had to cut his lines.
00:34:58
Yeah.
00:34:58
Which is, I mean, iconic, but also kind of sad.
00:35:01
Like, sorry, you just got typecast into...
00:35:05
Not a type, literally one role.
00:35:08
too much like your own voice, which is associated with Patrick Star now.
00:35:14
Sad.
00:35:15
Mm.
00:35:16
Yeah it be like that sometimes.
00:35:18
Yeah.
00:35:19
I mean, that's all I've got.
00:35:20
Okay.
00:35:22
Should we rate?
00:35:24
Okay.
00:35:24
How scary did you think it was?
00:35:27
A one out of five.
00:35:29
It's not scary.
00:35:31
It wasn't written to be scary either.
00:35:32
Not really, no.
00:35:34
Maybe it's scarier to men.
00:35:35
Have you ever asked a man if he thought it was scary?
00:35:37
You could have stopped at, do you ever ask a man?
00:35:40
I do not.
00:35:43
I don't.
00:35:44
I just don't care to ask a man.
00:35:48
do remember though reading an article where this and the movie Teeth were
00:35:53
mentioned as like examples of movies that scared men but did not scare women at all.
00:35:59
Imagine if, yeah, well I wouldn't want to have teeth.
00:36:05
Down there?
00:36:06
Yeah, but I can't imagine that'd be scary.
00:36:11
Yeah, but she also like had some semblance of control over them.
00:36:14
The teeth?
00:36:15
I haven't seen that movie.
00:36:16
Or maybe I have, but it's been a really long time.
00:36:18
you literally told me you had because you said that you joked about it all the time
00:36:21
with your friends.
00:36:22
yeah, because it was like a running joke in college.
00:36:26
I must have seen it.
00:36:27
seen it, but you just like knew about it?
00:36:30
Okay.
00:36:31
remember if I've seen it or not.
00:36:32
I would, I mean, obviously if I watched it, I would know if I'd seen it or not.
00:36:36
Well, if you haven't, she does have some semblance of control over them, so it's
00:36:41
not like they're all willy -nilly chopping things off that shouldn't be chopped off.
00:36:46
Yeah, that's why it's scary to men.
00:36:49
like a little like, like a little pelvic floor.
00:36:53
Like, yeah, literally.
00:36:55
She's, yeah, there's like literally a scene where that happens.
00:36:59
God.
00:37:00
How fun.
00:37:02
You know, it doesn't sound scary at all.
00:37:05
on that note, how sexy did you think this was?
00:37:09
okay, so here's the thing.
00:37:12
This is by far the horniest movie we've ever seen.
00:37:14
But they're in high school.
00:37:15
So like, what do we do?
00:37:16
Well, I don't know, because when I watched this, I was in high school, so like I'm
00:37:21
going off of that mindset.
00:37:23
And also these people are all in when they were acting in this, I do not believe they
00:37:29
were underage.
00:37:31
So I don't think it's I don't think that that line is blurred.
00:37:35
If I could be honest, I think you're fine to say it's sexy.
00:37:39
Okay, yeah, then it's a four and a half.
00:37:42
With your blessing.
00:37:46
Had you said anything else it was going to be about a two.
00:37:49
But it's definitely not.
00:37:51
Yeah.
00:37:51
It wasn't sexy at all.
00:37:52
What do you mean?
00:37:54
You know it's a four and a half without question.
00:37:57
Yeah.
00:37:58
What'd you give it?
00:38:01
Yeah.
00:38:02
See, I told you.
00:38:03
Without question, it is a four and a half.
00:38:05
not a lot of things in this movie that aren't sexy to be honest.
00:38:08
Yeah, it's great.
00:38:10
Big fan.
00:38:11
know, it's funny Megan Fox and Blake Lively are like the two hottest women for
00:38:16
me
00:38:17
and SZA.
00:38:17
I really like SZA.
00:38:19
Honestly, my like biggest celebrity crush right now is Keke Palmer.
00:38:22
Is it?
00:38:23
I'm just obsessed with her.
00:38:26
She's so funny and beautiful.
00:38:31
my God, she's fucking hilarious.
00:38:33
I'll send you a couple of TikTok compilations of interviews she's done.
00:38:38
What do you mean you didn't know that?
00:38:39
She's the one who started the meme that's like, I'm sorry to this man.
00:38:42
I don't know who this is.
00:38:43
That's her.
00:38:45
I didn't know that.
00:38:46
Okay.
00:38:48
Yeah, anyway, this movie's real horny.
00:38:50
Yeah, yeah, it's good.
00:38:53
so was I.
00:38:53
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:38:56
I give it a 1 out of 5.
00:38:58
Okay.
00:38:59
I don't know, there wasn't really anything I haven't seen before in here, right?
00:39:03
I guess the stampede was like a little nudge, but.
00:39:06
I think it's also unfair to only rate things fucked up if it's unique to that
00:39:14
film.
00:39:14
I think there are things that are fucked up that if they're used in more than one
00:39:19
film, it's still fucked up.
00:39:21
That's true.
00:39:23
I'll give it a 1 .5 because the woman getting crushed was like, that was a
00:39:29
little bit much.
00:39:30
Yeah.
00:39:31
What did you give it?
00:39:34
okay.
00:39:35
Yeah.
00:39:36
I didn't like the pool net in the stomach and then her taking it out.
00:39:42
But I mean, I really liked watching her take it out, but I didn't like listening
00:39:46
to her take it out.
00:39:47
Okay, yeah, the squelch.
00:39:50
Yeah.
00:39:50
Which reminds me, the Alien Romulus trailer is almost exclusively bone popping
00:39:57
noises.
00:39:57
Yeah.
00:39:59
I did.
00:39:59
I watched it with sound off.
00:40:02
okay.
00:40:02
Great.
00:40:05
no bone popping like on screen.
00:40:07
It's just the noises.
00:40:10
Anyway, thank you.
00:40:11
I digress.
00:40:12
Overall, what did you give it?
00:40:15
Yeah.
00:40:16
Yeah.
00:40:17
I don't know.
00:40:18
I can't think of anything I would change.
00:40:22
And I think I rated Ginger Snaps like a 4 .5, a 4 or a 4 .5, I think.
00:40:27
And this is better.
00:40:30
So it's gotta be a 5.
00:40:31
There's nothing I didn't like except the Megan Fox losing weight for it then, so
00:40:34
it's
00:40:34
a five.
00:40:36
Perfect film.
00:40:37
This was gonna be the one.
00:40:39
This was gonna be the one that I yelled at you for, but we passed.
00:40:46
No, I would have accepted four and above, but.
00:40:51
is only an 80%.
00:40:52
You think I would have given this a B?
00:40:55
Yeah, no it is, but it's a B.
00:40:58
Is this a B movie?
00:40:59
but I don't believe in the American grading system, so...
00:41:03
Yeah.
00:41:03
Yeah, no, this is a 5 out of 5.
00:41:07
This is like one of my favorite movies ever.
00:41:09
I fucking love this movie so much.
00:41:11
Yes, some of the dialogue didn't age super well.
00:41:17
But I also don't feel like it's super condoning that language either.
00:41:21
It's literally a man -eating villain saying it.
00:41:24
So like...
00:41:25
Yeah.
00:41:26
yeah.
00:41:27
I just fucking love this movie so much.
00:41:30
It's so good.
00:41:31
It is.
00:41:32
Megan Fox is a very good actress.
00:41:37
yeah, duh.
00:41:39
I think people I think people see Megan Fox and for whatever reason, automatically
00:41:45
think she can't act.
00:41:46
She can fucking act.
00:41:48
Yeah, the scene where she was getting stabbed.
00:41:49
Holy shit.
00:41:50
She's great.
00:41:53
Yeah.
00:41:54
6 7 5.
00:41:55
This movie is so good.
00:41:59
Okay, I'm really glad that you liked it.
00:42:01
I didn't think that you wouldn't.
00:42:04
Especially after Lisa Frankenstein, because that was kind of like me testing
00:42:08
the waters of like, if she doesn't like that one, she's definitely not gonna like
00:42:13
this one.
00:42:15
So.
00:42:17
Yes.
00:42:18
movie.
00:42:18
It was cute.
00:42:20
And I don't think that the dialogue of that shined as much as it did in this this
00:42:24
this movie's dialogue was like Anchorman level.
00:42:28
Amazing for me.
00:42:29
There's not a single line in Anchorman that I'm not like this movie was the same
00:42:33
way.
00:42:34
Yeah, this definitely has a lot more like quotable, memorable lines from it.
00:42:39
But I do think like it's similar, you know what I mean?
00:42:43
Like it's still like the same kind of vibe that, right, like she has a style of her
00:42:50
writing.
00:42:51
So I think if it's not for you, you're not going to like anything she does.
00:42:56
Yay.
00:42:57
Fives, fives, fives across the board.
00:42:59
Yes.
00:43:01
I can't wait to watch it again.
00:43:03
I can't wait to watch the musical.
00:43:04
I can't wait to just play Through the Trees non -stop.
00:43:09
It's so good.
00:43:12
It's a great song.
00:43:13
Give it another listen.
00:43:15
You're gonna be singing along in no time.
00:43:16
I mean, I haven't listened to the whole song.
00:43:18
I've only listened to it in the context of the film.
00:43:21
It's a banger.
00:43:21
Still here breathing now.
00:43:24
It's stuck in my head all day.
00:43:26
Just that one part though.
00:43:27
I don't know the rest of the words.
00:43:29
Literally over and over again.
00:43:32
Still here breathing now.
00:43:35
Yeah, it really does.
00:43:36
Yeah.
00:43:39
Would you survive Jennifer's Body?
00:43:41
What a question.
00:43:42
Huh, yeah.
00:43:45
I'm not a dude.
00:43:48
And thank God for it.
00:43:49
Yeah.
00:43:50
Would you survive?
00:43:52
Yeah.
00:43:53
The same reason I survived Jennifer's or Ginger Snaps.
00:43:56
If my best friend was out there killing boys in high school, I didn't see nothing.
00:44:01
I'm minding my own business.
00:44:03
And you know what?
00:44:04
A key part of this movie is I truly believe that Jennifer would have never
00:44:08
hurt Needy anyway, so.
00:44:09
Well, I mean, she even says she would have, but she couldn't.
00:44:13
Exactly.
00:44:13
She rips that pool net out of her stomach and she walks away.
00:44:17
She knows.
00:44:18
She's not gonna hurt Needy.
00:44:19
it's so interesting.
00:44:20
There's like a lot of like, you could read a shit ton of stuff about this movie and
00:44:25
like, it's representation of queer characters.
00:44:28
But I think it's so interesting because I feel like when this movie first came out,
00:44:32
a lot of people were like, like Needy is so in love with her.
00:44:35
Like, that's like the whole thing.
00:44:37
And now I feel like people are realizing that no, no, no.
00:44:40
Jennifer's in love with her.
00:44:43
Which I do think, I think Needy might be attracted to Jennifer, but I don't think
00:44:51
she loves her.
00:44:53
I think Jennifer is in love with Needy.
00:44:58
And I think that's the difference.
00:45:01
Yeah.
00:45:01
And I think that that's the other reason that like some of the dialogue that didn't
00:45:05
age really well didn't bother me, because it's coming from a lesbian.
00:45:10
Like, a little grace can be afforded to a lesbian.
00:45:15
literally says that she's bi in the movie, so bi erasure in Pride Month is crazy.
00:45:22
From a bi.
00:45:23
in Pride Month.
00:45:25
Sorry.
00:45:26
sorry.
00:45:30
I'm, I'm a lesbian.
00:45:32
It's just, if we're being honest, I bi-erasured myself.
00:45:42
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:45:43
Anyway, yeah, no, I'm living through this happily.
00:45:48
yeah, same.
00:45:50
Samesies.
00:45:51
Yeah, easy.
00:45:53
Easy peasy.
00:45:54
Do you want to predict next week's movie plot?
00:45:58
Is it X or is it Watchers?
00:46:01
It's X.
00:46:03
It's X.
00:46:05
anybody listening, we're filming this out of order.
00:46:08
So The Watchers was the episode that came out last week.
00:46:12
For everybody listening, for us, we haven't recorded it yet.
00:46:17
I get real confused when we aren't filming out of order and then we film out of order
00:46:24
and it's like societal collapse.
00:46:28
yes, next week's movie is X.
00:46:29
-
00:46:30
X is about a woman named Pearl.
00:46:35
She lives on a farm and she is being sold off to the highest bidder.
00:46:44
Yes.
00:46:45
as happens.
00:46:46
Wait.
00:46:46
See, my entire context of this movie is the trailer of Pearl or is it Pearl?
00:46:53
What's the movie that's coming out right now?
00:46:55
MaxXxine.
00:46:57
Fuck, now I'm real confused.
00:47:02
shit, okay.
00:47:04
No, Maxine's her stage name.
00:47:06
Pearl's her actual name.
00:47:07
of course.
00:47:10
fuck, I'm like, I'm real confused now.
00:47:13
yeah, no, no, no.
00:47:14
I mean, it's, it's a modern day.
00:47:16
so she's not okay.
00:47:17
I'm thinking.
00:47:19
I'm thinking.
00:47:24
Okay, so she's engaged.
00:47:27
She's engaged to this guy.
00:47:28
She's engaged to a guy and...
00:47:30
He just like stops putting out or something like stops showing that he loves
00:47:38
her and that like really pisses her off, which it should.
00:47:42
I mean you as women we put a lot of us put our whole pussy into our relationship with
00:47:50
our significant other literally and figuratively.
00:47:54
And so when when that breaks down, I mean you just you just you kind of go crazy.
00:47:59
And she does.
00:48:01
She goes crazy.
00:48:03
And then he cheats on her because she's crazy.
00:48:07
Because he's already, you know.
00:48:10
not putting his pussy into the relationship.
00:48:14
And then, and so yeah, she kills him.
00:48:18
Great.
00:48:19
Mm -hmm.
00:48:21
And after that, after she kills him, she moves to Hollywood and gets to live her
00:48:30
life.
00:48:32
Mm -hmm.
00:48:33
That's the whole movie, just this.
00:48:36
Yeah, it's, yeah, it's Pearl.
00:48:40
Maxine is her stage name that she adopts when she moves to Hawaii.
00:48:44
I mean, Hollywood, Hawaii.
00:48:47
Hollywood.
00:48:49
Yeah.
00:48:50
Got it.
00:48:51
Okay, so this is just her.
00:48:52
She kills her husband, goes to Hollywood.
00:48:55
Yeah, it's like the dissolution of their marriage.
00:48:58
I mean, I this is what I predicted for
00:49:00
As Above So Below.
00:49:01
It was a dissolution of marriage.
00:49:04
The wife goes crazy.
00:49:05
This is actually that happening.
00:49:08
It's gonna be right eventually.
00:49:11
Yeah.
00:49:13
But I do, I...
00:49:16
Yeah, yeah, ideally.
00:49:19
No, but I think this one...
00:49:22
I mean, I know she kills him and I know she's real mad at him.
00:49:25
Okay.
00:49:26
And why else would you be mad at him?
00:49:27
Exactly.
00:49:28
Yeah.
00:49:28
So tune in next week when that's not what happens at all.
00:49:31
Pretty much.
00:49:32
Really?
00:49:34
Is her name, her name's Pearl.
00:49:36
Someone's name is Pearl.
00:49:38
Someone's name is Maxine.
00:49:42
Maxine and Pearl are two different people.
00:49:45
Yeah, sorry.
00:49:47
It's not about the dissolution of marriage.
00:49:51
Not really.
00:49:52
Ugh.
00:49:54
Man, I just want to get something right.
00:49:56
You could maybe make an argument that that's a side plot.
00:49:59
Is she dissolving somebody else's marriage?
00:50:06
I think that you'll find out next week.
00:50:08
Okay, sounds good to me.
00:50:11
Great!
00:50:12
Can't wait to watch X!
00:50:14
Hooray.
00:50:14
When does this episode come out?
00:50:15
The one we're saying words in right now or X?
00:50:21
The X episode.
00:50:24
week's episode will drop on July 2nd.
00:50:28
Maxine drops on the 5th.
00:50:29
So in preparation for the sequel coming out, we're watching.
00:50:35
We're watching X.
00:50:38
Yeah.
00:50:38
we can cut all this out, but I was just, because it's going to be in theaters, I
00:50:42
thought maybe I would mention it, but that was like two weeks ago.
00:50:46
In, when the episode, yeah, okay.
00:50:49
Bye.
00:50:51
Nope.
00:50:55
We're doing that better.
00:50:58
Alright cool, well I'm excited to watch X and hear your opinions on it.
00:51:04
Yeah, we will see you next week.
