  Speaker 1: I never told you Protection of iHeart Radio. And today, yes,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we are bringing back our classic Aunt, Anne of Avonlea,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in part because inspired by our recent happy Hour we
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: did on PBS in which many fond memories were bought up, Yes,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: including this, and this was a fun one and we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: had a good time with these, so please enjoy this
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: classic episode. Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to Stephane never told you Protection of iHeart Radio.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, we mentioned earlier in our last fmf or feminist
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: movie Friday, we were going to do a part two,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and yes we had to come back around to the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: sequel of the Beloved and of green Gables, otherwise known
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: as Anne of Avonlea, the continuing story of Anne of
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: green Gables. Apparently there's a lot of like remixing of
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the titles, because that's kind of how I knew it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: But then it became Ann of green Gables, a sequel,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: just Ann of Avonlea, So there's a few names floating about.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And not to be confused with all the other remakes.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: This is a Sullivan Entertainment production or the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the CBC edition. And yes, Annie and I had to
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: download Gazebo TV in order to be able to watch
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the sequel, which is a delight in itself.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Am I right?
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it's yes, it was quite funny the links
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we went to. I think, as you said, Gazebo TV
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: is sort of like Hallmark but for like pioneer Times
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: are like.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Older older times kind of thing. Yeah, but we put
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in the effort and here we are in.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: My Discovery as I've signed up for now since we're
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: subscribed to it, they sent me an advertising for the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Anna Green Cables cookbook, and I'm a little intrigued on
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: what is in there because it seems legitimately like old school,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like the ovens that are just fire ovens, fire stoves
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that you are the open flames essentially, And I'm like
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: should I No, I can't.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Because I don't use any of the cookbooks.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not very good at cookbooks in general. But like, wow,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, they legitimately go all the way
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: into this era.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently yes, and again.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Hilariously kind of eerily because I'm like, oh, yeah, my
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: phone listens to me and I forget this sometimes, but
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was because of a mutual of mine
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: like this. But there was a tweet this week and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I have to share it because it falls along the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: lines of us talking about and Green Gables and of Avonlea,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and the tweet says, quote, now that hot girl summer
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: is coming to an end and of Avonlea autumn can begin.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: We're reading an ungodly amount of fantasy. We're climbing trees,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: swimming in lakes and baking pies. We're getting into wholesome
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: trouble and telling me and boys to get wrecked. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: this was from at riw Reese, not the same way
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you spill it, but close, and I love that. I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: was like, how in the world, I swear what is
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: happening that the universe comes together that the week that
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you and I are watching these movies, that they must
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: tweet this. And then it got like over seventeen thousand legs,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: as it should, as it deserves, because it is an
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: amazing tweet. I lets say it's Evergreen for me, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: she puts in later She's like, oh my god, all
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the kindred spirits here, and then does the crying emoji phase,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and I was like, yes, it's true, and I know
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: everything about this because I love the Cardigan's, the fall picnics. Yes,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to dive right into this era. I feel
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: like it's calling to me. Yeah, sosssation girl.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Well you know what follows my favorite season, And I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: already ready to like put on my warm clothes and
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: my my scarves and frolic in the leaves as they
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: change colors and the autumn types food because I love
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: like autumnal food.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: So yes, I am right there with you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Oh so excited. We made Chiley the other day because
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I got a little over excited and it was like
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: eighty five degrees with my gues. It's worth it, It's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: worth it. Yes, But moving on.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, we mentioned before the sequel goes away from the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: original written second book in Lucy Montgomery's and beloved.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Series, and yes it takes some liberties to the interpretations.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: We have to admit all of this as in fact,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the video series is an amalgamation of three of the books,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: including Anne of Avonlea and of the Island and Anne
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: of a Windy Poplars and from I've researched as I
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: haven't read any of the books.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, y'all.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Sullivan mixed and matched a bit of the characters that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: were written because he wrote this, and in some key
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: differences are the romantic plots, location, characters and the such. So, yes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: we know this is a big caveat and its own thing,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: almost outside of the characters that are written in there
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and the main.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Characters that is. But people still love it, and though
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the differences, again are big, the TV series still has
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: a high overall rating.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: When I looked at it at the IMDb level, it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: four point eight out of five stars. Wow for a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: CBC series, Hello, And it's dearly beloved, especially by me,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and also has been awarded with many mini accolades and awards,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: including the Golden Hugo Award, many Gemini Awards, the Cable
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: eight Awards, and many more. So it is still a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: jewel of a classic. That's how I'm gonna say it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Mm hmm. I love it. I love it, and you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Can tell I'm very passionate about the spending this. I still, yes,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I still do need to go back and read all
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of those even though they're technically I guess children's books.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: But it's still loved, and it still carries through and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: has carried on obviously as it keeps getting remade. Okay,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: but let's go ahead, We're gonna go jump into the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: movie's plot. We have our characters back, including Megan follows
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: as Anne, Shirley Marilla played by Colleen Doohurst, Gilbert played
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: by Jonathan Crombie, Diane played by Schuler Grant, Miss Stacy
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: played by Marilyn Lightstone, and Rachel Lynn played by Patricia Hamilton.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: But we have some new characters, including the Harris family,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: which includes Morgan Harris and then his daughter Emmaline Harris,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: his mother, Missus Harris, and his sister Pauline Harris.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And then we get introduced.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: To many of the Pringles of Kingsport or New Brunswick,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and that Prickly had mistress or principal of Kingsport Ladies College,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Catherine Brook, so they come into play. Of course, there's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: many more characters that we've already known or are new,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: but it's a pretty big list and we're not going
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to do all that. So in a sequel, we come
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: back to Anne in her Lovely Green Gables Avonlea Adventures
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: where she's been teaching at the school of Avonlea with
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: summer coming in school ending and gets ready for all
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the adventures to come. And then, by the way, we
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: also get to meet some of the precocious children and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: has been teaching. And by the way, I think one
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of the big characters in the book is Anthony Pye,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and we only see him in a split second at
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the beginning.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: He's one of the ones that get.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: In trouble for smoking in the outhouse Oda, but he's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: up one of that we see. Of course, we also
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: see Minie May returning again with her crying, and I'm like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: how is she so on point with the crying. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: guess that's maybe that's why she was hired, I don't know.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: But also during this time we get to see Anne
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: being rejected in her recent story that she had sent
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to a publisher Averrol's Revenge, which, by the way, there's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: so many great things to that, And we also get
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to see her working on the sequel as we open
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: up this scene which there is a meetcute between her
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and Morgan Harris, who we see later on. And yes,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: he's a dashing, handsome man who is hanging out with
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the ladies by the coast. You know all those things.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: That's the voice to use.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, very sophisticated man. Anne and all her
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: chums have grown up and are making grown up decisions,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: including marriage, and as such, it is soon revealed Anne
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: by Gilbert that her bosom buddy and friend Diane has
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: accepted a proposal of marriage to Fred.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Wright, who she's disappointed by and.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Also because he's not the romantic, dashing, sophisticated man that
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: they've talked about for so long. Also, she feels like
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: she's losing her best friend. And I've been there, been there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: This all leads to Gilbert proposing to her later on,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: whom she rejects as she wants more, which includes her
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: moving away and seeing the world and continuing to write,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: She's just not ready to let go of that dream.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And yes, there's a clam bake that we witnessed. There's
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a wedding for Diana as well, all of the beautiful things.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: And Annie sent me a text with a line, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it took me a good ten minutes to figure out
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: she was sending me a line from the movie about
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the clam bake.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Thank you Annie, Yeah.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I was well, it was so funny because I was
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: watching it and it was like Anne and Gilbert were
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: having this fight and then to me apropos of nothing
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: out of nowhere, Gilbert's.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Like, well, you're still coming with me? It's a friend's
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: clam bake. And I just died.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Wait it's important Annie engaging party. Hello.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: But I loved it because I was like, wait, we
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: were supposed to go to a clam bake.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: We supposed to do something this weekend. I don't understand.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: So it was a good, good moment for all.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: So after all of this and the disappointment and the
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: pain and then the rejection, there's so much, there's so
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: much behind the back whispering and talking so painful. She
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: decides to take up a position in Kingsport, New Brunswick,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: to become a teacher at the all girls school at
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Kingsport Lady College, where Miss Stacy is overall in charge of,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and then she soon starts her journey there on rocky grounds, though,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: as many feel, another person should have had that position,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: a Pringle who pretty much owns the town. So the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Pringles owned this entire town, giant family of them, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: so they wanted one of their own who was not
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: qualified and so was upset that Anne got this position,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and her first class is almost as bumpy as she
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: ends up on the bad side of the principal, Captain
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Brook spelled with a K, who goes back to put
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: spell out with a sea because Anne was so glad
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: about this. So that was oh and her having to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: deal with the young Pringle ladies who are very privileged
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and very snobby. Yes, so we also get to meet
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Emma Aline Harris, who we know later as a kindred
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: spirit and comes to her defense and tries to help.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: And we find out that the girls have been bullying
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Emma a Line for not being a pure Pringle, which
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I would have thought that would have been incest. So I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: was very confused by this that she says I'm half Pringle.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, wait what, I'm confused. And then and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: then by the way, there's also this that she's been
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: made fun of because her father married his cousin who
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: was the Pringle, so therefore what Okay, Yeah, there are
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: several moments of me going this doesn't exactly make sense,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: but okay, I'm gonna go with it. And then we
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: find out that Emma Line is the daughter of the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: handsome and dashing, sophisticated Morgan Harris, who has a bit
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: of a reputation as a philanderer. And I'm like, I
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: don't feel that's a bad thing, but okay, sure, And
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: after an incident with a broken roof and a bicycle,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: hilarious mister Harris removes Emmaline from the school, along with
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: his hefty funds that the school has been receiving until
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: that point. The Pringles soon follows suit and threatening to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: remove theirs funds as well. They blame and for ruining
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the school. And here goes Miss Stacy with a plan
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: to raise money to save the school and use the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Pregels to do so, charging twenty five dollars per person
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: for a play. And that seems like a lot of
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: money today for a single high school play. So nineteen
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: oh two, nineteen oh three, my gosh, yeah, you know. So.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: At the same time and they see reclusive missus Harris
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: and her daughter Pauline, who are the caretakers for Emmaline
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: when the father's away. She convinces them to allow her
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: to tutor Emmaline, who's not attending the school at this time.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: And yes, of course, the conversation talks about cannibalism and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the reputation of the family and the importance of looking
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: good in front of all of the pring goals in
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the town. Oh, so many things to be said, of course,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: and charms the family brings the light literally like she
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: opens up the windows to bring a light to the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: house and to their job lives, which we love to see.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Here we see so many adventures with opening up missus
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Harris to see the world again or at least the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: town allow music back in, allowing Pauline a little bit
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: of freedom, just a tiny bit of freedom to adventure
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: as well, going to Boston together, which is kind of
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that oh fantasy, traveling the world with the most handsome
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: man and his family.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Of course, so we have all of those things come through.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: She soon finds out the reason for the darkness within
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the family, the death of Emmalaian's mother, and then the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: reputation is being ruined and all of the rumors as
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: well as charms mister Harris with her witten personality and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: her beautiful looks. Obviously not for the play which occurs
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: that evening, which the main lead and the main bully,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: jin Pringle, calls out sick conveniently, but Emmeline is able
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to understudy and wows everyone with her performance and with
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the success of the play and wows the whole community yay,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: even bringing back Gen to apologize.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Yay.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: She's soon invited to the hospital Bazaarre and it's the
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: toast of the town, and no surprise, Morgan proposes to
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Anne in the snow, very romantic after she kicks him.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: We'll see and.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Even though this is exactly what she had dreamed, she
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: said no, realizing she missed home and the people there,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: including dearest Gill who she had recently seen and is
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: currently at medical school and engaged to another woman, and adds.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: The story continues, we see the death of missus Harris,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: which kind of like, oh.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Everything ends.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: We find Anne longing to go back home to her
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: beautiful Green Gables, turning down a five year contract for
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the college because she was such a success, but just
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: wants to go home and decides to take Miss Brooks
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: with her for the summer, who accepts finally and lets
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that cold exterior melt. Anne is so persistent to be friends,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and Anne says it's a kinder spirit after all, and
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: do all those prickles she says. Upon her rival back home,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: we find out that Gil has taken ill with a
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: scarlet fever and is dying. Oh no, and then admits
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: her mistake and her feelings for him and it's desperate
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to talk with him before it's too late, and gets
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a chance to with the fact that she actually wrote
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: her first book, which is she took advice from Gil
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: many a time ago when he said she should just
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: write the stories of the places she knows, so she did.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: It is published and she takes a copy to Gil,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: who soon recovers, and they get to do their long
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: walks or short walks into the woods to the bridge.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: End scene.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: You're welcome, Yes, beautiful, Samantha, excellent.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: You're welcome, of course.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: The next part is I thought it is and the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Continuing Story, but I think it's also called and Gables
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: a continuing story, So I'm a little confused.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Cool cool, cool, which I have seen it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna make you watch it, Annie, even though
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: you can if you want to, I can pull that up.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: But it goes to her traveling to the US becoming
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: a writer. There's more death. I believe it also has
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to do with the World War and find trying to
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: find Gilbert. So there's a lot, there's a lot that
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: comes continues on just so you know. But I again,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I love these stories. Thank you for coming on this
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: journey with me. Thanks for clam bake, you know.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: With you.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: I hope you.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Enjoyed it as much as I did in my childhood
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: and I still love Did I watch it again today
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: as I was prepping for this reporting, maybe did my
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: partner come in and going, are you watching this again?
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Like, don't start with me?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: What is the comment?
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I think I love these movies.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I think it brings it so much close to like
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: fondness to my heart just seeing these characters come to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: life again and watching these like vivid colors of this
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: beautiful area.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I do want to go to Prince Edward Island. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: think we should go.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, anybody from Prince Edward Island wants to sponsor us
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: at any point and have us come through and do
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: some episodes, We're ready, yeah, ready putting that out there
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: because I didn't want to go there.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But yeah, there's so many themes to this.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: They're a little similar to the previous obviously, with the
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: independence and the growth and the love and all of
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the telling of trying to find ourselves some friendships, because
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: that's the story of Anna green Gables, and Shirley loves
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: people and finds the good in people as much as
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: she can. But one of the things I loved, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I think it kind of reminiscent for so many is
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the idea of home.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: And maybe that's one of the.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Reasons I loved this movie is that she found her
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: home after so long of searching to belong and that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: that was never really questioned again, that this this was
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: her she. And when you talk about Anne, surely we
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: talk about Avonlea and in green Gables, and I loved
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: every place to that. Also, the fact that she did
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: want to travel, was she did want to see the world,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: but in the like I just want to go home.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that resonates with a lot of
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: people when you're at that age where it feels like
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: you have so many forking paths of like, well, I
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: could go this way, I could go to this college,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: or what if I want to go do this, what
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: if I want to be the writer, what if I
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: want to do all these things? And it's interesting early
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: in the beginning, you see towards the end of the
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: first one, she had been accepted by the town and
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: they're like, oh, you make us proud, and like, oh,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: they're still talking a little bit about her behind her back,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: but they do that with everybody, and so it kind
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: of immediately starts that way because she's trying to get
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: this stuff published and people are like whispering about what
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: she's trying to do. And then Diana sent her story
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: to a baking powder company without her reliable it's reliable
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: without Anne's permission, but she wins the award and like
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: everybody kind of clapping around the back and wanting to autograph,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: and like, as we talked about in the previous one,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: that kind of small town vibe but almost needing, like
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: needing to go away to appreciate home even more like
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: needing to because Marilla Rachel Lynde moves in with Marilla
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: after her husband dies, which I thought was very cute,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: the two of them living together, and Marilla is like,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: you know what, I want you to go see your dreams.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: You can go so far. What do you want to
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: do go?
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I've always felt bad that you stayed here because of this,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and Anne was like quick to reassure, like, no, no, no, no,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I wanted to do that, but kind of that, like, yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: she needed to go out and see, because again, you
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: can get all in your head about like what should
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I do? What is the right path and what is
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: the best thing, and sometimes you just have to go
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: experience something else to be like you know what, No,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: this was not for me. Actually what I want is
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: what I had already, right, And I think.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: The other part of that is she made a home
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and the things that we've talked about a lot about
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: making this home and making the family and sometimes if
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the home is not a place, but it's the people
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: or the group that you love or have found so
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: much comfort in, and that's one of the things that
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: being there in their presence is her home. And I
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: think that's a good thing to note. Only as much
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: as she has made a place for herself out in
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the world, what she feels best in was with the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: people who know her best and bring out the good,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: bring out all of the good and the bad and
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the ugly and the impressive, and accept all of that.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: And I feel like that was.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Such a good like, yes, Marilla really knows who she
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: is and coming back to understanding, like the big things
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: that happened for her, with the big significance is who
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: she is and how she's overcome so much. So I
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: really did want to reaction though. One of the things
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I wish I had I been able to see. And
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I know it's a lot because it's already like three
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: hundred minutes long.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I think I don't know.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: That to see Marilla's reaction in her getting a proposal
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and then her rejecting it. So I didn't really really
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: would love to have seen that reaction. But I think, yeah,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I think that's the whole idea of that home and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: being comfortable, and that's one of the things we should, like,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: we want to talk about later. I want to talk
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: about later about how people there's a comment that if
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: you feel sleepy at a place, it's because you feel
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: comfortable and the first time you've been able to rest.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I don't know if that's true,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: because when I get anxious, I get sleepy, So that's
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: the opposite for me, I feel like, but that's a
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: whole different conversation, but kind of that feel, you know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: that feel of one and when we talk about that,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: and that's what's home is and being able to find
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: yourself again and no matter how big you may get,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: that you feel better there or they know you best
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and you don't have to worry about that. Yes, anyway,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: And then a part of that is growing up. And
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I think this is this big theme. At the very beginning,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: she talks about that she did wish nothing would change
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and everything was stay in the same. She talks about
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: losing her best friend because she's getting married.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I've been there.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I remember in college when I had best friends that
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: they were getting married. It just felt like I lost somebody,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: which was a whole different conversation. I'm like, I would
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: hope not that's not how this were, but somehow, in
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: my mind that meant I lost a person because they
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: are going with someone else. And of course, when we
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: talk about marriage, it's a pretty big deal. I think
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: it was way much more of a big deal when
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: we were for me, when I was more into my
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: religious state, because this whole idea of ownership and becoming
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: one was such a big part of marriage, which is
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: probably why I don't like the idea of marriage today.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: But because of that meant you have to let go
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: of everything else and be in this marriage, which is
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: what religion teaches you in so many ways, and so
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: in that mindset, I'm like, marriage is losing somebody. If
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not marrying that person, obviously, then I'm losing that
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: person because they are that whole unit, and not that
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: marriage shouldn't. You should be married to your best friend,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: you should want to know and like all of this.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: But it's such a weird dichotomy. For me, as someone
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: who was always the best friend of the person getting married,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: it always felt like.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I lost somebody. Again, not true.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: There are definitely couples that I love and hanging out
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: with and I feel no change in our relationships, and.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: But there are those who really go into it in
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: that mindset of like I have to lose everything else
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: because my focus has to be my husband, my partner,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: my soon to be children. You know, there are so
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: many things, And again that sounds so selfish in that
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: small manner. That's okay, that's okay, that's your life. It's
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: not a wrong or right in that it just as
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the other person, it feels really really hurtful.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I guess for me, if I.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Just take these really personally, because I as a old
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: person who has adopted, there's a lot of things about
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: being left out and then being in the way as
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the conversation goes, there's a lot of rejection issues here.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So that's in itself, but that it is the whole
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: idea in this moment of like she's going to lose
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: her best friend to him who was nothing like what
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: we had talked about.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and going back to like that whole you know,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: forking path.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: It's it's scary when you know, like.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Everybody's facing those things right, like, not just you, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: so your life might just diverge.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: And for Anne, who like.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Came in and was not about like finding romance, it
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: was like I need to find.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: My bosom friend. I need to find my bosom buddy.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: And it was Diana like, it makes total sense to
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: me that she would feel almost a sense of betrayal
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: of like right or wrong, but like you would feel
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: this sense of like, but you are so important to me,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Why why are you changing what we have for this guy?
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not cool.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: By the way, the character who plays that was a
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: part of the ensemble Kids in the Hall, which is
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: a huge.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Nineties yeah comedy show.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: He was as well as the dude who you see
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: during the hospital bizarre who dances with her.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I think his name is Foley, David Foley.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: They were both a part of the Kids, And I'm like,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: but this is Canadian acting. Of course, a couple of
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the Canada has a lot of good actors.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: We know, we get it.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: But I'm just saying like that was like interesting to
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: me because it was during that time I was watching this,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and also I knew kids in the hall as well.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I was like that, dude's a completely different character here,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: right obviously, but yeah, and then.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: On top of that, like growing up, you have.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: These ideals of what it's going to look like in
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the future, and then when that comes crumbling down, even
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: though the reality is yes, you're never it's never going
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to be that way. I think we all just and
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: that I had this dream when I was in high school.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to college and these are the things
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do, and this is where I'm going to
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: be about this age and this age, and this.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Is who I'm gonna marry. And none of that happened.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: None, absolutely zero percent of what I thought growing up
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: was going to happen did not happen.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And that goes back to the very long
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: and kind of complicated conversation we had in one of
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: our Sex in the City Watch Through episodes. We were
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: talking about the difference between like settling because you feel
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: like you have to in settling because maybe that's ultimately
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: what you want, and how there should probably be a
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: different term for that kind of settling. But I also think,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: like during this time, I was struck by it's different
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: now because we have you know, we have a lot
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: of modes of communication with each other, but if an's
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: moving away, then the mode of communication is letter, and
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: who knows how long that will take to get there,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: and just that puts us strain on things. And also
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: like marriage overall was different back then. We've made strides,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I would argue we still have a lot of strides
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: to make towards gender equality and marriage, but back.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Then it was much different.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I was it was hard not to think
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: about that of like, yeah, I mean, diet, his life
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: is going to change now, and that's just sort of
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: the nature of things. And I've I've come to that
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: too because I hang on to people hard. I I
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: it's hard for me not to take things personally, and
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I know that's like a me thing. But it does
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: kind of feel like, oh, you found someone you'd rather
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: hang out with more than me, and and that it's
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: just I hang on so hard. But it's natural if
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: you if you meet somebody and you get married and
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: your life changes and you move into a different state,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: and that doesn't mean you can't still hang out. But
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: it also doesn't mean that like things won't change right right,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: which can be scary. Yeah, it is very scary.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Another thing that I really loved, of course, is love.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I love love, But like in the conversations that we
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: see that's happening about again, who we fall in love with,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: who we want to fall in love with? We even
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: hear Marilla talk about it, and then she sees the
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: X and it's an awkward moment.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Of like do you want to come in for tea?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: And then I gotta go on here for my boy,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: which the thought process for me is like thank goodness
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: they didn't get together, because where would Anne be hello?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: But like the whole idea of love reality versus the fantasy,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: and in fact this Anne actually got her fantasy in
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: this moment with mister Harris, and she got the trip
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: and being swept away and buying all the hasts that
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: they wanted, having all the beautiful moments in Boston, like
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: so many things that she could have done, and realizing
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: it's okay, I've got this, but I think I like
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: this other well that was better, which is just simple,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: and I don't even think it's that simple because the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: dude was dying of scarlet fever, which is also part
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: of the whole, like I'm going to bring you back
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: from death with my care that she mentions in the
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: first one with Diane she doesn't ish, but like, that's
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: that's kind of the part of that is finding the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: reality versus the fantasy and then letting it unfold and
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: you get to choose. She gets to choose, but technically
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: she doesn't choose either, and that's also amazing for this
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: time and age, Like this is a romance, but it's
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: not a romance.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Right right, Yeah, I mean I think that's it's a
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: really good point too. I bet a lot of us,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: myself very much included, I can relate to, as you said,
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: kind of having that idea of what you think you
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: want and this fantasy that usually you picked up through entertainment.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: So for Anne, like she's reading all these fantasies, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: it's like forming these ideas of what she wants and
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: then when you actually get in the situation and it
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: checks off a bunch of the boxes and you're like,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Really into this. I thought I would be.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: But that relates back to growing up as well and
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: having those sort of learning life experiences and people, hopefully
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: most people grow and change, and so for her, romance
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: just wasn't a big thing for her for a long time,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: and so and Gil had his own growing up to
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: do and figuring things out, and sometimes the timing's just
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: not right, and you've got to wait until it is,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: until you're both ready and in the healthy place, well.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: For him, not healthy place, but then healthy mentally. There
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: you go.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so much in that, and I think that's
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: kind of a back and forth. Of course, we also
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: enjoy the fact that she got to have it, and
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: not many people get to have these reality the fantasies
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: come through or come true. So for her, she actually
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: got that, and it's a glorious moment of her going,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: never mind, I don't want this. It's weird that he
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: did bring another woman for as a date who he's recording.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Throughout the movie and then being like want to marry you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wait what.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: And then the whole dance card thing.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah, we love a good dance card.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: The other part is do they know this dance? Have
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: they figured out these dances?
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Because you have to learn, like we've talked about Bridgerton
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: been learning these dances and how it took them days
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and days and days to get this routine. Like same
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: thing here, Hello, Yeah, I do love it, by the way,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think it's interesting that we get to
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: see that ray of love and then also again we
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: get to see the different people coming through her life
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: talking about love, to see Brooks coming in and then
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Brooke coming in and talking about her lack of love
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: in general and just giving up from jump, like being
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: so disappointed with life, giving up on it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: And then she finds a bo oh to people interested possibly.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: At Heavenly as she leaves, but you know whatever, But yeah,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: bringing in as we talk about Brooke, another kindred spirit
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: that took the entire movie to finally get through all
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the kindred spirits that have been a part of the
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: entirety of.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: The series, which is one of the delights to me, So.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Like connecting with people on a deeper level, but knowing
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: that there's something about them.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: That is going to teach you and you're going to
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: teach them is a beautiful thing.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of that whole wonderful process as we
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: see her talking to Miss Harris and Emma Line, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: then we get to see her with Miss Stacy again
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: and how they are thicke as these even though they've
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: only had one year together technically, and then we get
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: to see her breaking through a brooke exterior of which
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: is hard and cold and really really angry for the
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: misshaps in her life, and like being able to show
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: her something different like that is that conversation and.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: We love to see it.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: We love to see it coming back through and just
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: pouring it out throughout the movie.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: It's just a good plot line.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: It's just great because how yeah, this are the things
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: that I want to see is the connections with the
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: women throughout, And of course there's some men sprinkled in there,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: but it's the women that she connects to and even
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: though it could be hostile, she still breaks through and
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: there is a layer of just people wanting to connect
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: in general.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I had many times I was like, this
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: is the compound Samantha and I've talked about.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: Like you get older, you move in with your best
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: lady friends. Yes, yes, yeah, I know. I love that
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: to you.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I love that you see, you see all these different
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: kinds of relationships between women too, Because you've got Anne
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: and Miss Stacy was like her mentor and Miss Stacy,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: you know, being there for Anne and building her up
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: and helping her.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: Find these opportunities.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: Then you've got Anne and Emmeline, so she's having the
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: chance to be the mentor and build somebody up up
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: and give opportunities. With Miss Brooke, yeah, she's like who
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: says like I didn't want to be the school teacher.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to be this Like here I am
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: and offering her like, well, you know, I have this
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: other option. I have this other path you can try,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: and having her take that and like just seeing you
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: know the relationship between Anne and Marilla getting stronger.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Anne and Rachel Lynn still being my kind of enemies
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: but still friends.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: And then I love the scene with the cow where
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Diana follows her after the cow in her white dress
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: in the mud, like just like all right, I'm going
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: to help him like still being kind of that steady friendship.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: So it's like, not only do we have a bunch
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: of these different relationships between women, We've got a bunch.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Of different shades. That's pretty rare still to see.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, and I and just I love it.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: I love that it continues to build up.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: People are still yes, you know, we have still had
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that cattiness, but she never gives up hope on people
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: building them up and what it looks like when you
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: continue to persevere even still does it all? Is it
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: always that golden Of course not, but it is still
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: a beautiful story. I love the connections, and I think
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: that's what I really enjoyed about shows like this. This
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: is also why I love Sex in the City, even
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: though there's so many other things did that, But the
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: level of camaraderie again with the friends and the people
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: and the women when they actually want to see each
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: other succeed, and that's the beauty of the entire thing.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Diane is doing what she wants to do, which is
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: to be with her family and to grow a large
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: family within her town, and loving that. Seeing Marilla thriving
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: on the farm, even though she thought she was gonna
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: lose it, you know, stuff like that, Miss Stacey, even
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: though with her quote unquote hardships that she had in
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: our previous show, she's grown. She's getting up and getting
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the respect that she deserves in the industry that she
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: hadn't pushed away from it.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Certain towns you know.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Like it's it's wonderful. We love it, we love to
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: see it, and yeah, this will remain one of my favorites.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I would love to hear from anyone who
• 36:11
