- 1:26Speaker 2: eight starrying Lindsay Loewen.
- 1:30Speaker 3: You sent that in the private chat.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I was going to call me on it, and then
- 1:34Speaker 1: us I was already copying it.
- 1:37Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. I'm a horrible person.
- 1:39Speaker 1: You're rude.
- 1:40Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I let's do a summary of the parent Trap nineteen
- 1:46Speaker 2: ninety eight.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Because now I'm an asshole, So we have to segue twins.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Annie and Hallie are strangers until happenstance unites them.
- 1:57Speaker 3: The preteen girls, divorced parents Nick.
- 2:00Speaker 2: And Elizabeth, are living on opposite sides of the Atlantic,
- 2:03Speaker 2: each with one child.
- 2:05Speaker 3: After meeting at camp.
- 2:06Speaker 2: American American raised Hallie and British race Annie engineer and
- 2:11Speaker 2: identity swap, giving both the chance to spend time with
- 2:15Speaker 2: the parent they've missed.
- 2:16Speaker 3: If the scheme works, it might just make the family
- 2:20Speaker 3: whole again.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:24Speaker 2: You know what I just realized when reading that summary. Hmm,
- 2:27Speaker 2: I wonder if twins could potentially still get away with
- 2:30Speaker 2: like swapping because she they had to use each other's passports.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, well, considering that it is just
- 2:38Speaker 1: low hand playing them both. Yeah, I'm convinced. And I
- 2:43Speaker 1: know a lot of a lot. I know identical twins,
- 2:47Speaker 1: and there's always one tell, And if you know them
- 2:50Speaker 1: well enough, you know the tell.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Yeah, correct, I one hundred percent?
- 2:57Speaker 2: Yes, yes, because even though they're identical, there's still.
- 3:00Speaker 3: A little different, a little different, a little different. Okay,
- 3:04Speaker 3: So answer your question, which twin are you?
- 3:07Speaker 1: Oh? I'm probably the bullshitty American one.
- 3:11Speaker 3: That's perfect because I'm definitely Annie.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Exactly, So I'm the burner and earner and then like
- 3:18Speaker 1: threatening you over a poker game and then getting all
- 3:22Speaker 1: of my friends to hate you and that's who I am.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we just become best friends.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, not sisters, if not.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Twins, If not sisters, if not twins, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 3:37Speaker 3: So as we.
- 3:39Speaker 2: So this is a movie that I rewatch regularly, and
- 3:42Speaker 2: I'd like to also acknowledge that it has been twenty
- 3:45Speaker 2: five years since this movie has released, so a lot
- 3:47Speaker 2: has happened in those twenty five years.
- 3:50Speaker 3: But what remains true is.
- 3:53Speaker 2: How emotional I get during this movie, really, which parts when.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Both of them when she when Hallie meets.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Elizabeth is her name right, Yeah for the first.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Time, Yeah, for the very first time, and she's just like.
- 4:14Speaker 2: What she says, specifically something like you're here, and it
- 4:20Speaker 2: just it's such a and she's just so happy and welcoming.
- 4:24Speaker 3: And that's literally what you want, right.
- 4:27Speaker 2: I don't know if that's what you want, but that's
- 4:28Speaker 2: all I want when I walk into a space where
- 4:31Speaker 2: I know that people love me is to feel loved.
- 4:34Speaker 2: And she is the embodiment of that, and poor Halle
- 4:37Speaker 2: has never felt that love. So then you see it
- 4:39Speaker 2: for the first time and you're just like, this is auful.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I do love it, and you know, there's a
- 4:48Speaker 1: really cute grandfather figure. And I mean, are we going
- 4:53Speaker 1: to talk about how really stupid this whole idea was
- 4:56Speaker 1: to begin with that, Like number one, I'm convinced dona
- 4:59Speaker 1: Is quite came up with it. I was like, this
- 5:02Speaker 1: is a white man's plan.
- 5:04Speaker 3: You know, this is.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Based on a book and then which was adapted into
- 5:08Speaker 2: movie in nineteen sixty one, which was then reimagined for
- 5:11Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Right, the only thing that I can remember by from
- 5:15Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty one movie is I can picture what
- 5:19Speaker 1: the almost stepmom looks like exactly.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it, And I.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Think it's because she looks so much like what the
- 5:25Speaker 1: almost stepmom and the sound of music looks like. And
- 5:28Speaker 1: then I know what the twins look like, and then
- 5:30Speaker 1: I go, I know the Let's Get together, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Was an original song for that movie. Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 2: So Vicky in the original is Vicky and the new
- 5:41Speaker 2: one playing Meredith's mom, Oh, the same actress. That's my
- 5:45Speaker 2: favorite piece of trivia that I tell everybody. And I'm
- 5:48Speaker 2: sure if anyone who is a regular listener of pop
- 5:51Speaker 2: culture makes me jealous has heard me say that pretty frequently.
- 5:57Speaker 3: So I love that was a book. It was a book. Yeah,
- 6:00Speaker 3: oh wait no, no that's right. Wait hold on.
- 6:04Speaker 2: I read Hailey Mills's memoir and then I also did
- 6:08Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff for Freaky Friday, the original one.
- 6:10Speaker 2: And now I might be conflating information.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never seen parent trap on a
- 6:18Speaker 1: book cover. Also, I don't care if the book said.
- 6:23Speaker 1: If the original text says that it wasn't that man's
- 6:26Speaker 1: idea to take two twins and be like ones better
- 6:30Speaker 1: than none and split them up between an ocehit, you
- 6:34Speaker 1: can't convince me at all that it wasn't like that
- 6:38Speaker 1: is a man's plan through and through like it's a mother.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Yes, it is a book written by Eric Kassner, published
- 6:50Speaker 2: in nineteen forty nine.
- 6:55Speaker 3: So it was translated.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm well, I'm at like in like in
- 7:02Speaker 1: my head cannon about like okay, so you're about to
- 7:05Speaker 1: get divorced and you're looking at these two infants and
- 7:09Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out transcontinental custody arrangements, and then
- 7:15Speaker 1: Joe Jonas looks at you and goes, I know one
- 7:19Speaker 1: is better than none.
- 7:21Speaker 3: We'll just get them. Let's split them.
- 7:24Speaker 1: And Sophie Turner would never and to think that like
- 7:28Speaker 1: he must have taken her to court or he must
- 7:31Speaker 1: have done something, because I'm like a mother would never.
- 7:34Speaker 1: A mother would never be like, oh, never see one
- 7:36Speaker 1: in my twins again. Sure a woman would never. I
- 7:41Speaker 1: was like, this is a man's plan through and through.
- 7:44Speaker 3: He thinks he picked something.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And that's my piece on it, because I
- 7:54Speaker 1: was like, because you know, you know, I get like
- 7:58Speaker 1: real messed up with home alone of it all to
- 8:01Speaker 1: be like parents would never.
- 8:04Speaker 3: This is neglect, like.
- 8:07Speaker 1: How and then everyone's in on it. The grandfather's in
- 8:11Speaker 1: on it, the butler's in on it, Chessi's in on it.
- 8:15Speaker 1: And it's not like Dennis Quaid and Natasha richardson rip
- 8:20Speaker 1: were exchanging letters or.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Updates on that break.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, some nosey could would have found something.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:30Speaker 2: If this were twenty twenty three, this movie could not
- 8:33Speaker 2: truly exist in a way that it does. And I
- 8:35Speaker 2: actually think and even though I love this film, I
- 8:37Speaker 2: actually think the nineteen sixty one version works better because
- 8:41Speaker 2: you still have a level of anim minute and I
- 8:46Speaker 2: can't say the word I'm able.
- 8:47Speaker 1: To say pick a new word.
- 8:49Speaker 3: You still can.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Live anonymously in a way that you can't that didn't like, yeah,
- 8:55Speaker 2: you can have an anonymous life in nineteen ninety eight.
- 8:57Speaker 3: With that said, he has a wine lay.
- 9:00Speaker 2: So he's still like pretty well known and she's pretty
- 9:03Speaker 2: famous too, right, Like that's part of the like, that's
- 9:06Speaker 2: part of the the end of the movie, when they
- 9:11Speaker 2: were not in the middle of the movie, that's the
- 9:12Speaker 2: climax of the movie when everything sort of starts to
- 9:14Speaker 2: like come to realization.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Like the nineteen sixty one.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Version, it's like, oh shit, this is completely random happenstance,
- 9:22Speaker 2: Like we had this, we could have gone on living
- 9:24Speaker 2: forever and this would have never been an issue. But
- 9:28Speaker 2: in the nineteen ninety eight version, it's it was it's
- 9:31Speaker 2: a miracle.
- 9:32Speaker 3: It only happened when they were eleven and not sooner.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It's very Sister Sister where they make it all the
- 9:38Speaker 1: way to teens, and that was an adoption to show
- 9:42Speaker 1: that was a we we happen to adopt twins and
- 9:46Speaker 1: now they're at the same high school, more plausible in
- 9:48Speaker 1: my head than a mother. And you're like, sure, let's
- 9:51Speaker 1: split the infants down the middle.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Right, right, which twin do you say?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Which which twin gets to be British in which one
- 10:00Speaker 1: gets to be an American asshole? Let's go ahead. Thank
- 10:06Speaker 1: god that they both like lived pretty white, privileged lives, because,
- 10:12Speaker 1: as you know, I'm a free form slut. If you
- 10:15Speaker 1: want to put a teen soap drama on free Form,
- 10:18Speaker 1: I'm going to eat it like it was my favorite
- 10:20Speaker 1: ice cream. So I was obsessed to the point where
- 10:24Speaker 1: I was convinced it was teaching me sign language. Switched
- 10:27Speaker 1: at Earth on yeah, free Form, where one of the children,
- 10:34Speaker 1: due to poverty, healthcare insurance issues, or whatever, ends up
- 10:38Speaker 1: death and one lives in poverty while the other one
- 10:42Speaker 1: lives a very bougie white lady lifestyle in the good neighborhood.
- 10:47Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, it's like a grittier parent trap.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it truly is, okay, But okay, can I switch
- 10:55Speaker 2: his scars a little bit?
- 10:58Speaker 3: So the opening is, you know they need camp. Yeah.
- 11:01Speaker 3: I love Camp camp Walden.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Camp Walden has Native American names for all of their housing.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Sure does.
- 11:09Speaker 1: It's probably on indigenous land.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Because they're in Maine and there is a large Indigenous
- 11:16Speaker 2: population up there that sort of bleeds over America and
- 11:21Speaker 2: Canada because apparently because we're obsessed with borders, even though
- 11:24Speaker 2: they've been there since like the dawning of the ages.
- 11:27Speaker 1: And I'm also trying to remember if in the nineties
- 11:30Speaker 1: in the two thousands, that was a really big thing
- 11:32Speaker 1: that was happening in like the Boy Scouts or the
- 11:35Speaker 1: Girl Scouts of our lives as we know. I dropped
- 11:38Speaker 1: out of Girl Scouts after one year. I found it
- 11:41Speaker 1: insanely boring. Yeah, my sister had a completely different Girl
- 11:45Speaker 1: Scout troop. Got to ride horses, got to do overnights,
- 11:48Speaker 1: got to see owls, thrilling. My age group for Girl
- 11:54Speaker 1: Scouts was like literally like gluing fake animal for Onto magnets.
- 12:00Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god, I could do
- 12:03Speaker 2: this at home by myself.
- 12:05Speaker 1: I could do this at home by myself, and my
- 12:07Speaker 1: social battery is depleting. So I have no idea if
- 12:12Speaker 1: that's it feels like every time we were outside in
- 12:15Speaker 1: a group in the nineties or two thousands, we were
- 12:18Speaker 1: somehow encroaching on indigenous land because.
- 12:22Speaker 2: And appropriating like customs in a way that's so watered
- 12:26Speaker 2: down that it.
- 12:28Speaker 3: When you you know what I mean, it was just.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Kind of like always like, hey, we're gonna kind of
- 12:34Speaker 2: do like indigenous things, but we're gonna do the white version.
- 12:37Speaker 3: But that's not how they called it. They're just like
- 12:39Speaker 3: looking as being cool.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I very much went to an elementary school where four
- 12:44Speaker 1: grandparents day in the fall, you did pow wows or
- 12:48Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and they and the gym teacher pretended to be
- 12:53Speaker 1: able to teach you a pow wow routine, and then
- 12:57Speaker 1: in the spring for Mommy's muffins Day or whatever the fuck,
- 13:01Speaker 1: it would be squared dancing, because they're equivalent in the Midwest.
- 13:06Speaker 1: In the Midwest, they're like culture, how well square dancing?
- 13:10Speaker 2: The history behind square dancing you can think Henry Ford
- 13:13Speaker 2: for because he like got real insecure about like non
- 13:20Speaker 2: white people and things like seeping their way into culture.
- 13:25Speaker 3: So he was like, you know, how we can ensure
- 13:27Speaker 3: good white.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Values square dancing, And to this day it's required curriculum
- 13:35Speaker 2: and physical education classes.
- 13:37Speaker 3: So that's like the water down version.
- 13:39Speaker 2: It's like way more uh sinister than what I've offered.
- 13:45Speaker 3: But that's that's your reader's digest version.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I guess. Also, do you want to know how much
- 13:50Speaker 1: you don't want to be a third grader Josie doing
- 13:53Speaker 1: with another third grader touching some gross boy.
- 13:57Speaker 3: From the computer class. You don't want?
- 14:00Speaker 1: No. And every field trip I went to, and I
- 14:04Speaker 1: didn't know if this was just like a Midwest thin
- 14:07Speaker 1: or if every state, because every state kicked out indigenous people,
- 14:12Speaker 1: had this too. Every one of my outdoor field trips
- 14:16Speaker 1: had like white people telling me about indigenous Native American
- 14:21Speaker 1: culture and the tribes that lived on the land that
- 14:25Speaker 1: we were standing on. But there would also be like
- 14:27Speaker 1: a farm. It's like, so this is where the settlers lived.
- 14:31Speaker 1: This is Bessie the cow. I'd be like, oh, the cow.
- 14:34Speaker 1: And then they'd be like, try this maple syrup. We
- 14:37Speaker 1: tapped it from the tree today, and then they and
- 14:40Speaker 1: that would be the only thing you got to eat
- 14:42Speaker 1: that day. And I was a fat kid, and I
- 14:44Speaker 1: was like, my blood sugar is crashing, and you just
- 14:47Speaker 1: put a little bit of maple syrup on my finger
- 14:51Speaker 1: and went that'll do you until you're back on the bus, right,
- 14:55Speaker 1: And then we're tramping through the woods, to the indigenous
- 14:59Speaker 1: camp to be like and then this is where the
- 15:04Speaker 1: indigenous people lived, and it's like a fire pit and
- 15:09Speaker 1: like a patch of like a hammock type thing. Yeah,
- 15:14Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is a lot of white people
- 15:16Speaker 1: are teaching me about not white people.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I you know. And it's interesting too because in the.
- 15:23Speaker 2: And we're we're not here to compare the original to
- 15:25Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety eight version, just the original seared into
- 15:28Speaker 2: my brain because I'm convinced my mother wanted to be
- 15:31Speaker 2: Hailey Mills at some point in her life and have
- 15:33Speaker 2: her career. We like, even in the original, they're like,
- 15:38Speaker 2: there's a neighboring camp that's boys and it also has
- 15:42Speaker 2: you know, uh a native name to it. And You're
- 15:45Speaker 2: just like, what is going on in the middle of
- 15:48Speaker 2: the twentieth century to late twentieth century that we are
- 15:51Speaker 2: so obsessed but we don't acknowledge the horrors of any
- 15:56Speaker 2: of it, you know what I mean?
- 15:57Speaker 1: Why are you acting like that doesn't happen in twenty
- 15:59Speaker 1: twenty three? Look how white people love to chuck a
- 16:01Speaker 1: margarita during Sinco de Mayo.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know that's true because white people definitely
- 16:06Speaker 2: meant to Taco Tuesday, like that is not a thing, like.
- 16:09Speaker 3: With white people tacos.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Remember when TikTok was first brand new and they were like,
- 16:13Speaker 1: and you'd like, make I love a white people taco
- 16:16Speaker 1: because that's what me as a white person grew up
- 16:19Speaker 1: with on Taco Tuesday and be like, what people tacos
- 16:22Speaker 1: got to get my shred and lit his shred, and
- 16:24Speaker 1: let is for my white people. So think of Sinco
- 16:30Speaker 1: de Mayo. Think, I mean, Juneteenth had two years of
- 16:38Speaker 1: people not bringing just their whiteness to it. But if
- 16:42Speaker 1: you don't think that that's coming, it's I.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Mean it already is.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Because Walmart tried to do an ice cream for Juneteenth
- 16:49Speaker 2: in a way that just felt really itchy.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I think it was Walmart.
- 16:52Speaker 1: No Ben and Jerry's has one too.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Like Walmart some or maybe it's not specifically Walmart brand,
- 17:02Speaker 2: but whoever found it was in Walmart. This ice cream
- 17:04Speaker 2: company was literally trying to trademark Juneteenth for their ice cream.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Like it's egregious.
- 17:13Speaker 1: I feel like the child's version of Sinco Demio because
- 17:18Speaker 1: you can't slam a margarita for Cinco Demio as a
- 17:22Speaker 1: fourth grader, is we will inappropriately teach you the Thanksgiving
- 17:27Speaker 1: story and how Pilgrims loved the Indians until they didn't.
- 17:32Speaker 3: Right right.
- 17:34Speaker 2: So yeah, So like that opening scene with like camp
- 17:36Speaker 2: Walden and then they're like, Ali James, you're in I
- 17:40Speaker 2: forget what the name was that she rattled that Janie
- 17:43Speaker 2: rattled off, and I was just like, Oh, this might
- 17:46Speaker 2: be the only part of the movie that doesn't age well.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Also, I'm a fairly recent ex teacher. We're still not
- 17:52Speaker 1: teaching it right in schools. Yeah. I had a teacher
- 17:56Speaker 1: in who was a man of color, and here I
- 17:58Speaker 1: am talking about butter and like fucking log cabins or whatever,
- 18:01Speaker 1: and he goes, Sis, you're not gonna tell You're not
- 18:05Speaker 1: going to tell them what the what the colonizers did
- 18:07Speaker 1: after they made their butter.
- 18:09Speaker 3: And I was like, we have to get through.
- 18:10Speaker 1: This one reader, and then maybe we could have story
- 18:13Speaker 1: time about what truly happened right with the colonialists, right right,
- 18:26Speaker 1: and I will do that. Horrific I've told you so
- 18:28Speaker 1: many horrific stories about white people in Indiana, just being like.
- 18:35Speaker 3: We should be able to just make jokes.
- 18:37Speaker 1: And stories and mockeries of anything and everything that has
- 18:41Speaker 1: to do with the fact that we're living on indigenous ground, right,
- 18:46Speaker 1: take it all back, take it from the white people.
- 18:52Speaker 2: One of the things though, during those when they were
- 18:54Speaker 2: at camp that like made me cringe as a parent
- 18:57Speaker 2: was when she's.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Like, here's the needle I'm gonna pierce your ears and it.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Wasn't It was like a dull looking needle and she
- 19:05Speaker 2: just lights a match for like this little on fire
- 19:07Speaker 2: three seconds.
- 19:08Speaker 3: It's like sterilized, and I was.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Like, shit, like that happens at camp. Have you not
- 19:14Speaker 1: been a summer camp.
- 19:15Speaker 2: No, I've never been to overnight camp. I've never been
- 19:18Speaker 2: to sleep away camp. I went to sixth grade camp
- 19:21Speaker 2: because that was a school sanctioned thing. And then outside
- 19:26Speaker 2: of that, because it was like you could go to
- 19:28Speaker 2: Mexico on a missions trip, which is modern day colonization.
- 19:31Speaker 2: So I'm not doing I wasn't.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Gonna do that, but I but as you know, punk
- 19:37Speaker 3: rock was my life for a very long time. So
- 19:40Speaker 3: to see this and so why I've seen people pierce
- 19:43Speaker 3: their own ears with needles, they were sharp.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Yes, this one was like here's a metal rod I'm
- 19:51Speaker 2: going to shove through slope and I just had this
- 19:55Speaker 2: moment of like, oh, honey, you don't have anything sharper
- 19:58Speaker 2: than that, but I guess you wouldn't because well, you're like,
- 20:01Speaker 2: they're probably like, you can't bring sharp, sharp items to camp.
- 20:04Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I think I've seen people do it with safety pins.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how we did it.
- 20:12Speaker 1: And I think my memory filled in a safety pin
- 20:14Speaker 1: for that.
- 20:15Speaker 3: I thought it was a safety pen that she used
- 20:17Speaker 3: for it.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Clearly not now, but yeah, sleep away camp, which I
- 20:23Speaker 1: did at Gifted and Talented Camp where my parents used
- 20:26Speaker 1: to go to college. Because I don't know if we
- 20:28Speaker 1: know this, but I'm very smart. That's the only reason
- 20:32Speaker 1: I know what a tampon is. No one was going
- 20:34Speaker 1: to tell me what a tampon was. But someone got
- 20:37Speaker 1: their period during the school year, had their period at
- 20:41Speaker 1: camp and did a whole show and tell what was
- 20:43Speaker 1: her name?
- 20:44Speaker 3: Margaret? Mm hmm, because that's how are you their god
- 20:47Speaker 3: to me? Margarets.
- 20:48Speaker 1: No, she was one of I do not remember her name.
- 20:51Speaker 1: It may have been Gabby, but that could also be
- 20:54Speaker 1: a woman I went to college with. Yeah, I do
- 20:57Speaker 1: know that she was one of the few women of
- 21:00Speaker 1: color in my like dorm for Gifted in Talented Camp.
- 21:05Speaker 1: And she did a whole ass show and tell now
- 21:08Speaker 1: was gonna do that for me?
- 21:10Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 21:11Speaker 2: So I well, I always felt like maybe I was
- 21:13Speaker 2: missing out on a cultural experience by never going to
- 21:15Speaker 2: sleep away camp.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I understand that is the fucking best. That's why I
- 21:20Speaker 1: love Murder Mysteries because the camp counselors threw us a
- 21:24Speaker 1: dinner theater clue inspired Murder Mystery.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Oh I love that.
- 21:28Speaker 2: See and then, and now that I'm remembering it, my
- 21:31Speaker 2: church the Junior High did like a weekend retreat. It's
- 21:36Speaker 2: not the same because it's like it's like we're going
- 21:39Speaker 2: to sing about how much we love God.
- 21:41Speaker 3: You know.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I think it's very trendy that adults now have summer camps.
- 21:45Speaker 1: There are like now adult summer camps. We can everyone
- 21:48Speaker 1: are venmos and all of the ways that you can
- 21:51Speaker 1: support both of our shows and Julia gaining to go
- 21:54Speaker 1: to summer camp sleep away camp for the very first
- 21:56Speaker 1: time are in all of our biots. Look, Julia's never
- 22:01Speaker 1: been to summer camp. That's true.
- 22:03Speaker 3: We can get her there.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four Summer twenty twenty four Adult Summer sleep
- 22:08Speaker 1: Away Camp. She can't go alone. She won't know how
- 22:11Speaker 1: to do it. I have to go with her.
- 22:12Speaker 3: It's true.
- 22:13Speaker 2: I do need a handler because if it wasn't revolving
- 22:16Speaker 2: around Jesus, I wasn't allowed to do it.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Oh that's wild. Okay.
- 22:23Speaker 1: That truly drives me wild.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry. Okay.
- 22:27Speaker 2: So I want to get There's like so much I
- 22:30Speaker 2: want to get into Natalie, and I don't even know
- 22:32Speaker 2: like where to begin.
- 22:33Speaker 3: I do want to add.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Another emotional thing that I had is when she comes
- 22:38Speaker 2: home and meets the grandfather for the first time. That's
- 22:41Speaker 2: one of my favorite scenes for a multiple for a
- 22:44Speaker 2: lot of reasons, and the main one is is that
- 22:46Speaker 2: is exactly how it's done in the nineteen sixty one version,
- 22:50Speaker 2: and it's perfect because it still has the right modern
- 22:55Speaker 2: vibe but still feels nostalgic in a way that if
- 23:00Speaker 2: you haven't seen the sixty one version, you're still gonna
- 23:02Speaker 2: have all the fields and emotions, even I mean down
- 23:05Speaker 2: to the lines.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Is that my girl, that tall, gangly thing?
- 23:11Speaker 2: And then she's like, I'm making a memory. They change
- 23:15Speaker 2: I think it's pipe tobacco in the nineteen ninety eight
- 23:18Speaker 2: version and it's just straight tobacco, and the sixty one
- 23:21Speaker 2: version but like, to me, that scene is so beautiful.
- 23:25Speaker 3: It is so beautiful.
- 23:26Speaker 1: And as you know, I have a prominent grandfather in
- 23:29Speaker 1: my life, so I adopted other people's yeah, and I'd
- 23:33Speaker 1: be like, you're my grandpa, now, good for you. Yeah,
- 23:36Speaker 1: But I never got to like smell someone else's grandpa
- 23:40Speaker 1: and make a memory or really smell my own grandfathers.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just this tear jerky moment that if I
- 23:48Speaker 2: don't know, there's something about it. I also do want
- 23:52Speaker 2: to say, I think that watching this movie on the
- 23:56Speaker 2: heels of watching a Nora Efron movie last week, and
- 23:58Speaker 2: Nora Efron is deemed like the Queen of rom coms,
- 24:01Speaker 2: who like is a brilliant genius because she's denominated so
- 24:04Speaker 2: many times for her work and all these things. Nancy
- 24:07Speaker 2: Myers doesn't really get the same sort of clout that
- 24:09Speaker 2: I think she deserves because there are so many elements
- 24:13Speaker 2: to Nancy Myers movies that also kind of feel similar,
- 24:17Speaker 2: not the same.
- 24:19Speaker 3: But it's still very nostalgic for an old movie, movies
- 24:23Speaker 3: of old.
- 24:24Speaker 2: There were so many scenes like when Natasha and Natasha
- 24:28Speaker 2: that's her real name, well.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Elizabeth and.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Nick are in the basement, in the wine cellar, and
- 24:36Speaker 2: he's like showing her, I have all the wine labels
- 24:41Speaker 2: from that were served at our wedding, and you're just like,
- 24:44Speaker 2: oh my god, that's so fucking romantic. But then she's like,
- 24:47Speaker 2: I can't and then backs up and it's like a
- 24:49Speaker 2: shadow on her face and then it's illuminated across Like
- 24:53Speaker 2: that feels so old Hollywood. And there's so many moments
- 24:56Speaker 2: like that, not just in this movie, but then in like, oh,
- 25:00Speaker 2: almost every Nancy Meyers.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Movie him me with some other Nancy Meyers movies.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Okay, it's complicated, which isn't I wouldn't necessarily recommend.
- 25:11Speaker 1: That on that movie is.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Alec Baldwin? Is Alec Baldwin.
- 25:17Speaker 1: I hated that movie. I very much did not like it.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't blame you.
- 25:24Speaker 2: She did all of the Father of the Brides, she
- 25:26Speaker 2: did The Holiday, she did Something's gotta give. I don't
- 25:29Speaker 2: think we have the Father of the Brides on our list,
- 25:32Speaker 2: and how how do we not? She did Baby Boom, well,
- 25:36Speaker 2: she wrote Baby Boom. I don't know if in terms
- 25:39Speaker 2: of directing, she did Oh Parent Trap looks like it
- 25:45Speaker 2: was her first director director.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Of her directorial debut if.
- 25:50Speaker 2: You will, And maybe that's why, Maybe that's why she
- 25:52Speaker 2: doesn't get the same like as sort of standing that
- 25:57Speaker 2: Nora Efron gets because her directing debut came later. But
- 26:00Speaker 2: she's been writing stuff since the eighties.
- 26:04Speaker 3: She wrote Baby Boom for Christ's Sake, the Diane Keaton movie.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I don't think i've seen Baby Boom.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Oh, it's a great film, great film.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I was thinking that watching this one after Freaky Friday
- 26:18Speaker 1: made me realize that to me, the parent trap is
- 26:24Speaker 1: the standard for kids movies that also involve adults, yeah,
- 26:30Speaker 1: or adult rom coms that also involve kids. Yeah. And
- 26:34Speaker 1: maybe that's why, in comparison, Freaky Friday feels so shallow,
- 26:39Speaker 1: because parent trap lets you sit in the emotions and
- 26:44Speaker 1: it's not easy. It's not like, Okay, Nick saw Lizzie
- 26:50Speaker 1: and now they're in love. No, there's a whole other
- 26:52Speaker 1: forty five minutes to the movie.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Right, and then the back and like the way that
- 26:56Speaker 2: they present the backstory is really it's really simple and quick,
- 27:00Speaker 2: but you get just enough to understand that there's a
- 27:03Speaker 2: whole lot of complicated mess within those eleven years after
- 27:07Speaker 2: everything sort of fell apart.
- 27:10Speaker 3: I do feel like there is.
- 27:19Speaker 1: You.
- 27:19Speaker 2: And I've talked about this because I'm going towards Meredith Blake.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Now I love Meredith Blake.
- 27:25Speaker 3: So I have a couple.
- 27:27Speaker 2: I have a couple of different points, the first one
- 27:29Speaker 2: being you and I talk about this all the time.
- 27:32Speaker 2: There's they sidestep, but also sort of minimally address the
- 27:38Speaker 2: age gap. Yeah, she's twenty fifteen years at minimum, because
- 27:44Speaker 2: he's at least forty. He's at least forty. Oh, so
- 27:49Speaker 2: she's twenty six between Nick and.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Meredith.
- 27:56Speaker 2: And then yeah, it is fifteen years between Hey and
- 28:01Speaker 2: Annie and Meredith because they're eleven, they're gonna be twelve
- 28:05Speaker 2: and you know in the fall.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Oh that's where I got fifteen.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've only been dating for eight weeks, Like
- 28:13Speaker 2: this is fast.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Well, and also I don't think I realized as a
- 28:18Speaker 1: child how much Chessie is on it. She's like, oh, yeah,
- 28:21Speaker 1: this young floozy flies in from somewhere. She knows Facebook.
- 28:25Speaker 1: She's going to put your dad on the social media map,
- 28:29Speaker 1: and next thing I know, they're kissing him, fucking and
- 28:34Speaker 1: now she's gonna marry him. After eight weeks. I was like,
- 28:37Speaker 1: oh no, that is gold digger behavior.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Yeah, so they really set her up to be because
- 28:43Speaker 2: you know, the message is always, well, the younger women
- 28:46Speaker 2: are always seducing the older men, so they really set
- 28:49Speaker 2: that up in this film. She is absolutely set up
- 28:53Speaker 2: as the predator in this scenario.
- 28:56Speaker 1: She is so sexually charged. It the sexual charge of
- 29:01Speaker 1: Meredith does not break until she has that one on
- 29:04Speaker 1: on one conversation with Hallie Annie, because up until then,
- 29:12Speaker 1: every time you see Meredith, the music changes, there are
- 29:16Speaker 1: close ups on different parts of her body, she's in
- 29:19Speaker 1: someone's lap. Yeah, And she is so sexually charged whenever
- 29:25Speaker 1: she talks to Nick, because she's got a goal and
- 29:27Speaker 1: she's gonna get it. And I think that's what builds
- 29:31Speaker 1: the stark contrast to be like, because you know, I
- 29:35Speaker 1: grew up with Jessica Rabbit. I was like, Oh, sexy
- 29:37Speaker 1: ladies are fun, sexually charged ladies, that's who you want
- 29:42Speaker 1: to be. But what makes your brain flip into oh no,
- 29:45Speaker 1: she's the villain mode is because as soon as Nick
- 29:48Speaker 1: isn't in the picture, she's so goddamn mean to those.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Gets right right, and it very much is that like, oh,
- 29:56Speaker 2: women can't cohabitate, They can't coexist, regardless of their age.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Because why are you trying to compete with an eleven
- 30:04Speaker 3: year old?
- 30:04Speaker 1: An eleven year old.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Like that makes no sense. That's gross.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Also the way that Lindsay Lohan holds her own in
- 30:11Speaker 1: those confrontations, Lindsay.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Loewen the Queen.
- 30:16Speaker 2: I wish that she had had a different life, different parents,
- 30:19Speaker 2: because she was so talented. I watched the behind, like
- 30:22Speaker 2: there is this how Annie turns into how Lindsay turns
- 30:26Speaker 2: into Annie and whatever. It's a special feature that. Yeah,
- 30:33Speaker 2: And so like just watching her be interviewed in like
- 30:37Speaker 2: the way she's talking in those interviews, she's very skilled,
- 30:40Speaker 2: Like she knows she's not a dummy dumb dumb dumb
- 30:43Speaker 2: for being eleven or whatever. She's very intelligent for an
- 30:48Speaker 2: eleven year old speaking about very technical things, right, Like
- 30:53Speaker 2: I couldn't have told you before I watched this anything
- 30:57Speaker 2: about how they had to do the switcheroo, Like I
- 31:00Speaker 2: wouldn't have had the language at all.
- 31:02Speaker 1: When I was a child. I was very old before
- 31:05Speaker 1: I realized that Lindsay Lohan was not a twin.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people were very confused that everyone
- 31:12Speaker 2: thought it was actual twins and not a different girl.
- 31:17Speaker 2: And they used a lot of blue screen, which I
- 31:18Speaker 2: thought was really cool because they showed they walk you through,
- 31:22Speaker 2: So if anybody hasn't seen it, they really should just
- 31:25Speaker 2: watch the extras. And it's like the bonus little bit
- 31:27Speaker 2: about how they how they filmed it, and they had,
- 31:31Speaker 2: like I think he said, they had like ten stand
- 31:33Speaker 2: ins that were all the same height, same hair color,
- 31:37Speaker 2: same age, and so they used a lot of stand
- 31:39Speaker 2: ins and then they would blue screen a lot of
- 31:41Speaker 2: stuff and then layer that over and it's nineteen ninety
- 31:44Speaker 2: eight technology. But it's still really interesting, yeah, because for
- 31:48Speaker 2: the time it stayed in the.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Art well and it doesn't look as cheesy as the
- 31:54Speaker 1: now what we know Jurassic Park of our current age.
- 31:57Speaker 1: The reboots are Jurassic Park, and the boots of Star
- 32:02Speaker 1: Wars look like when it just looks so overly done
- 32:06Speaker 1: and you're like this is too clean, it actually creeps
- 32:08Speaker 1: me out.
- 32:09Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. So yeah, so that was my thoughts about
- 32:14Speaker 3: Emeredith Blake.
- 32:15Speaker 2: But then I also remembered that there is a theory
- 32:18Speaker 2: going around social media.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Have you heard it?
- 32:24Speaker 1: Oh, it's the Gaston where it's like, well, if everyone
- 32:27Speaker 1: would have just been nice to Meredith, or if Belle
- 32:29Speaker 1: would have been nicer to Gaston, there'd be no villain
- 32:33Speaker 1: in the story. And I think a lot of millennial
- 32:37Speaker 1: women found themselves to be stepmoms, but we grew up
- 32:40Speaker 1: with the evil stepmom trope, so now we have to
- 32:43Speaker 1: like tear down like Cinderella and all these other little
- 32:46Speaker 1: hoes that made it impossible to want to be a stepmom.
- 32:51Speaker 1: She care can't be villains in their own abuse story,
- 32:54Speaker 1: like she's so mean.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Yeah, because here's the thing, like the idea of twins
- 33:00Speaker 2: being the real villain. I was thinking about it today
- 33:02Speaker 2: when I was watching the movie, and I thought, if
- 33:04Speaker 2: I'm eleven and I go away for eight weeks and
- 33:08Speaker 2: I come home and my dad's like, guess what, I'm
- 33:10Speaker 2: in changing your entire life and you had nothing to
- 33:15Speaker 2: do with the decision because you were gone, and I
- 33:17Speaker 2: made the decision for you.
- 33:19Speaker 3: But also I missed you so much.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Don't ever look me again so much.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Like of course you're gonna be a brat. Of course
- 33:27Speaker 2: you're gonna act out. Of course you're gonna react to that,
- 33:31Speaker 2: because the sit down and let's have a conversation was Hey, girl,
- 33:35Speaker 2: I'm getting married to this person that you've you've realized
- 33:38Speaker 2: could be.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Your sister an age.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Yeah, also not hey, i've met someone we've dated. Let's
- 33:45Speaker 2: all get to know each other and like see where
- 33:48Speaker 2: it goes.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Also, like Meredith like only works in absolutes absolutes.
- 33:56Speaker 3: There it is, so she's.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Immediately like, I'm gonna have one conversation with this kid
- 34:01Speaker 1: and then then this bitch better fucking back off. And
- 34:04Speaker 1: she literally thinks that that's how eleven year olds work.
- 34:07Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, eleven year olds are petty. I've
- 34:11Speaker 1: never actually let go of how petty I was at
- 34:14Speaker 1: eleven years old. I'm still that petty. So of course
- 34:17Speaker 1: they put a lizard in your hair, and of course
- 34:19Speaker 1: they tried to drown you in that like like the
- 34:22Speaker 1: rest of us could only dream of getting to do that,
- 34:26Speaker 1: And there was no adult conversation between Nick and Meredith
- 34:31Speaker 1: on how they were actually going to handle this. So
- 34:35Speaker 1: in a way, Nick is also kind of the villain
- 34:38Speaker 1: parent because it's like, so you just thought we'd bumble
- 34:41Speaker 1: this and Chessy would take care of it. There's a
- 34:43Speaker 1: lot of emotional baggage being handed to all of the
- 34:46Speaker 1: women in this movie.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Right because he's the charming one. Because the way we
- 34:52Speaker 2: meet Nick at the airport is very old Hollywood, very romanticized,
- 34:58Speaker 2: very much like Coming Home, feel good. Look at this
- 35:02Speaker 2: handsome guy who is a dedicated dad.
- 35:07Speaker 1: And no one get me wrong. My only note about
- 35:12Speaker 1: Nick in this on my entire page is Dennis Quaid
- 35:16Speaker 1: is such a babe.
- 35:17Speaker 3: Yes, and he is.
- 35:19Speaker 1: And Dennis Dennis Quaid was the babe of my childhood
- 35:23Speaker 1: because a parent trap and my secret favorite movie dragon Heart,
- 35:26Speaker 1: where he has to share half a heart with a
- 35:28Speaker 1: dragon and the dragon Sean Connery. Oh I love Sean Connery,
- 35:34Speaker 1: all right, and I love it. And he's a babe,
- 35:39Speaker 1: and he's a knight of the old code and the
- 35:43Speaker 1: old ways where knights and dragons were friends or whatever.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I'm sorry Dennis Quaid doesn't share half of a heart
- 35:50Speaker 1: with the dragon and dragon Heart. I almost want to
- 35:52Speaker 1: punch myself in my own face. The evil Prince shares
- 35:56Speaker 1: a heart with the dragon and dragon Heart and.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Has he like.
- 36:02Speaker 1: He corrupts the heart and then they gotta take care
- 36:06Speaker 1: of him.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great film.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Everyone. Dennis Quaid babe. Jerry Lewis babe.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Well, and when you see him and Lizzie later sort
- 36:20Speaker 2: of connect like he clearly still has feelings for her.
- 36:24Speaker 3: And because he has and always has.
- 36:26Speaker 2: And like you know, he sees her in the lobby
- 36:30Speaker 2: and he's like, holy shit, and then he gets himself
- 36:34Speaker 2: freshened up to go look for her, like and not
- 36:38Speaker 2: in like a creepy sort of way, it's in a
- 36:43Speaker 2: oh my gosh, like I need to look good.
- 36:44Speaker 3: I'm gonna go find her. She looked beautiful. What is
- 36:47Speaker 3: she doing here? Like oh, like heart fluttery kind of way.
- 36:50Speaker 3: And Meredith is just, in my mind, villain villain villain,
- 36:54Speaker 3: She's like super. Let me just say that.
- 37:00Speaker 2: It makes me really upset when people are like, I'm
- 37:02Speaker 2: going to send those children off to Switzerland, and so
- 37:05Speaker 2: I can have the menton to myself because that because.
- 37:09Speaker 3: In the scenario with the guy being, you know, being the.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Primary care provider, it's probably gonna be easy right to
- 37:15Speaker 2: convince them that that's the best.
- 37:17Speaker 3: But me as the mom, like you were saying earlier.
- 37:20Speaker 2: I my kid turned eighteen and went off to college,
- 37:23Speaker 2: and I'm still kind of like, do you really have
- 37:25Speaker 2: to leave my house?
- 37:27Speaker 3: Well?
- 37:28Speaker 1: And Nick gives off really big, like I don't even
- 37:32Speaker 1: know what went wrong energy right, So it very much
- 37:36Speaker 1: feels like because Lizzie is like, he drives me crazy,
- 37:41Speaker 1: and she's chainsmoking and she has to have like eight
- 37:44Speaker 1: bottles of wine and a limo and she's like, he,
- 37:48Speaker 1: I cannot believe that I'm going to see him again.
- 37:51Speaker 1: He infuriates me. Yeah, and then he's mister, I don't
- 37:55Speaker 1: even know what I did want. I'm a doable, I'm
- 37:59Speaker 1: a babe, if not a baby. And it's very much.
- 38:04Speaker 1: And I've been talking about this a lot, where it's
- 38:07Speaker 1: so infuriating the amount of mental and emotional labor women
- 38:11Speaker 1: are handed, and then you're dealing with it day in
- 38:16Speaker 1: day out, trying to make it better, trying to convince
- 38:18Speaker 1: yourself it's better, trying to raise him to be a man,
- 38:24Speaker 1: even though sorry, go ahead, I don't even know where
- 38:26Speaker 1: we got the notion that like men would rise to
- 38:29Speaker 1: the occasion. We keep saying it's because of rom comms,
- 38:32Speaker 1: but they never seem to do it there either, right,
- 38:34Speaker 1: And he's just saying, they're going, I don't even know
- 38:37Speaker 1: why she lived and took my baby. I don't even Chessie,
- 38:40Speaker 1: do you know? And it's and they just get to
- 38:44Speaker 1: play that off all the time.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Well, and it's like he is never he gets everything
- 38:52Speaker 2: is cared for for him, so he can be the
- 38:54Speaker 2: wine creative genius, because why else would you have Chessie.
- 39:00Speaker 2: He really, she was there from the jump, right, because
- 39:05Speaker 2: Lizzie's like, oh, Chessie.
- 39:06Speaker 3: Of course, I remember, you're so great at You're amazing.
- 39:10Speaker 2: But like, it's he's always been. It's always a situation
- 39:14Speaker 2: for him where he's been I'm a genius and I'm
- 39:18Speaker 2: a businessman, so I need to do these things, and
- 39:21Speaker 2: so therefore you all must support me so I can
- 39:24Speaker 2: focus on these things.
- 39:25Speaker 3: And it's cute and.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Great and wonderful and lovely that he has a relationship
- 39:29Speaker 2: with Hallie and that you know she adores her dad,
- 39:34Speaker 2: you know, yay for you, But also how much of
- 39:36Speaker 2: that relationship is just Disneyland dad, even though they live together,
- 39:40Speaker 2: because Chessie's there doing all the hard work well.
- 39:43Speaker 1: And also he's like, mister, like, I'm so talented, I'm
- 39:47Speaker 1: a wine guy. I have this amazing business. But he's
- 39:50Speaker 1: also like, but I'm not like a serious guy, right,
- 39:54Speaker 1: a fun guy. And it's exhausting. It is exhausting me
- 39:58Speaker 1: in a relationship with the who's always like whoa whoa,
- 40:01Speaker 1: what are we screaming about?
- 40:03Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 40:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I am the fun guy. Why are you throwing
- 40:07Speaker 1: that at my head?
- 40:08Speaker 3: Yeah? Weren't we having fun? If you're just joining us?
- 40:11Speaker 2: We are talking about still the nineteen ninety eight version
- 40:15Speaker 2: Parent Trap starring Lindsay Lowen, Natasha Richardson, and and Dennis Quaid,
- 40:21Speaker 2: And we are discussing the theory that the twins are.
- 40:25Speaker 1: The real villain, but they can't be because they're children,
- 40:29Speaker 1: and it's not a scary movie like in scary movies,
- 40:32Speaker 1: like children can be the villains. Like, yeah, like we've
- 40:35Speaker 1: seen that happen, Yeah, in.
- 40:37Speaker 2: A horror film. This is like a little a legitimate
- 40:41Speaker 2: family friendly rom com.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Yeah. And also just bec and I think what also
- 40:48Speaker 1: is happening with that like argument and that TikTok trend
- 40:51Speaker 1: is number one married with Blake still hot. So she's
- 40:55Speaker 1: on TikTok now with CHESSI and we're all like, oh,
- 40:58Speaker 1: she's still hot, and so we want a side with her,
- 41:00Speaker 1: and she's like, maybe everyone should side with me, and.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Good for her.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Be relevant, how you're relevant? Yeah, But also I think
- 41:08Speaker 1: what's happening is is.
- 41:10Speaker 3: At the base of it, what we're.
- 41:11Speaker 1: Really uncomfortable with is how Meredith was used as a
- 41:16Speaker 1: sexual prop for conflict, and we don't have the language
- 41:20Speaker 1: for that anymore. So we're like justice for Meredith. Those
- 41:24Speaker 1: kids put her in a lake. They do be a
- 41:27Speaker 1: real extreme shit to her. They put her in a lake, Yeah,
- 41:32Speaker 1: they do. She could have drowned.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Trying to think of what happens to her in the original,
- 41:38Speaker 2: I think it's just, Oh, in the original, they do
- 41:41Speaker 2: they do all the things to her tent that it happens,
- 41:45Speaker 2: you know, in the first when they're at camp and
- 41:47Speaker 2: then there's little tiny bear cubs that and are like
- 41:52Speaker 2: licking the honey off of her face and her body.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Were they brown bears or black bear?
- 41:57Speaker 3: They were brown?
- 41:59Speaker 1: Brown. You gotta lay down, black you attack that. Those
- 42:02Speaker 1: are the rules for the bears.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Well, also, baby cubs mean there's a mama, so there's
- 42:07Speaker 2: a she mad. So I was like, so, so I
- 42:11Speaker 2: feel like that's a that's a decent edit, right, Like
- 42:14Speaker 2: I felt like.
- 42:14Speaker 3: That was a good edit because.
- 42:18Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty one, I guess you could have bears
- 42:21Speaker 2: as in as props for movies like.
- 42:23Speaker 3: Live Actual Bears.
- 42:25Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty one, you could have bears in your
- 42:27Speaker 1: baby in your movies, and you could have lions in
- 42:30Speaker 1: your bedroom.
- 42:31Speaker 3: It was a wild tie, a wild time.
- 42:34Speaker 2: It was a wild And then the guy in the
- 42:36Speaker 2: sixty one version because because in the sixty one version
- 42:39Speaker 2: he has a housekeeper and he also has like a
- 42:42Speaker 2: ranch hand, because he's not a he's not a vitnor,
- 42:44Speaker 2: he's a ranch guy. And he's like nothing but little
- 42:49Speaker 2: bidley old bear guns, and you're just like.
- 42:54Speaker 3: Bear cubs that could murder you.
- 42:56Speaker 1: Which, by the way, me, I'm always a person who's like,
- 42:58Speaker 1: why are you so scared of the little hey bill brown?
- 43:02Speaker 1: Lay down, black, scream back, that's what you do with beers.
- 43:07Speaker 1: There's a rhyme.
- 43:09Speaker 3: I'm like, how do I learn how to climb a tree?
- 43:10Speaker 3: Real quick?
- 43:12Speaker 1: Are you so scared? Hugs a little babies, They're just
- 43:15Speaker 1: a little thing, little guys. I was recently at the
- 43:18Speaker 1: zoo and every animal enclosure we came to, my friend
- 43:23Speaker 1: and I would look at one another and go, I
- 43:25Speaker 1: just want to give it little scretches, just a little scritch,
- 43:29Speaker 1: just a little behind the ear scritch.
- 43:32Speaker 2: My god, Natalie, please don't get accidentally murdered by a
- 43:35Speaker 2: wild creature.
- 43:36Speaker 1: I am very surprised that I have not been one
- 43:39Speaker 1: of those people to like lose a limb at the
- 43:40Speaker 1: zoo because they were doing like white people nonsense.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't do that, don't do that. But yeah,
- 43:50Speaker 2: so that was kind of like my big thing was
- 43:52Speaker 2: like Meredith was very much painted to be a seductress,
- 43:57Speaker 2: younger woman who bewitches the doufis.
- 44:04Speaker 3: Kind of middle aged, wealthy man, and.
- 44:10Speaker 2: I just I think that's that's where I'm like, justice
- 44:14Speaker 2: for Meredith.
- 44:15Speaker 3: Not.
- 44:16Speaker 2: It wasn't not that she wasn't a villain. It's just like,
- 44:19Speaker 2: can we stop painting women.
- 44:22Speaker 3: As like.
- 44:24Speaker 1: She's not bad? She was just written that way. Yeah,
- 44:29Speaker 1: I love Jessica Rabbit is basically what I'm saying, we
- 44:33Speaker 1: need to cover Roger Rabbit on the show. I love
- 44:36Speaker 1: Roger Rabbit, and I probably have like a large portion
- 44:39Speaker 1: of it, or at least memorized memorized.
- 44:43Speaker 3: I still don't know who framed him. I've seen that
- 44:45Speaker 3: a billion times.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Roger Rabbit and Buppets take Manhattan. When people ask me
- 44:50Speaker 1: what my Easter traditions are, I'm like, oh, watching Muppets
- 44:53Speaker 1: take Manhattan and Roger Rabbit, and they're like not in Easter.
- 44:58Speaker 1: I used to show it in my cap the classroom.
- 45:01Speaker 1: I'd be like, good news everyone, Yeah, you can't show
- 45:03Speaker 1: Roger Rebbit at school. There's some wild shit that evans
- 45:06Speaker 1: good news everyone. Easter breaks on its way. So I
- 45:09Speaker 1: thought we'd watch the best Easter movie of all muppets,
- 45:13Speaker 1: Tapement All. That's cute.
- 45:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that.
- 45:19Speaker 1: Do we think that Hollywood made Lindsey Lohan bleacher freckles?
- 45:25Speaker 1: I was shocked by how many freckles were on her face.
- 45:28Speaker 2: No, because in her Vanity Fair cover she still had
- 45:31Speaker 2: a shit ton of freckles.
- 45:32Speaker 3: Good for her and adorable.
- 45:35Speaker 2: I think it's a matter of you know, uh, just
- 45:38Speaker 2: covering them up with makeup and stuff, because it is
- 45:41Speaker 2: really hard and it is shocking when you know somebody
- 45:43Speaker 2: has a ton of freckles and then they put on
- 45:45Speaker 2: foundation and you're like, what's different about your face?
- 45:50Speaker 1: Got the acting chops of that child at eleven just to.
- 45:54Speaker 3: Have the career that she had. I know, she's very talented.
- 45:59Speaker 1: And it's the same with the me into Buys, It's
- 46:01Speaker 1: the same with Hillary Duff. These really young women of
- 46:04Speaker 1: the nineties in the two thousands were very talented and
- 46:07Speaker 1: they could hold their own in scenes with grown ups.
- 46:11Speaker 1: They just happened to be young women in Hollywood, and
- 46:14Speaker 1: therefore we refuse to let them have the career that
- 46:17Speaker 1: they deserved.
- 46:18Speaker 3: Well, and I think too A lot of that also is,
- 46:21Speaker 3: you know, the parent parental role.
- 46:24Speaker 2: Because now Hillary Duff I feel like came out of
- 46:26Speaker 2: it unscathed, out of the ure that you listened, that
- 46:29Speaker 2: you listed, and so like when you think about all
- 46:35Speaker 2: of our young starlets who kind of came out of it, Okay,
- 46:38Speaker 2: they had a pretty solid like parental support system. Okay,
- 46:45Speaker 2: So can I tell you something else that I love
- 46:47Speaker 2: about the nineteen ninety eight version, of course, all of
- 46:50Speaker 2: the nods to the nineteen sixty one version.
- 46:53Speaker 1: M hm.
- 46:54Speaker 3: It makes me so happy that.
- 46:56Speaker 1: The boots are supposed to do. It's supposed to make
- 46:58Speaker 1: me feel warm and fuzzy.
- 47:00Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean like they take things, like they
- 47:02Speaker 2: pull things directly. Like I mentioned before, the scene where
- 47:06Speaker 2: she's like Grandpa, and that there's that my.
- 47:09Speaker 3: Annie, that tall gangly thing.
- 47:13Speaker 2: The snapping of the sticks because the bears to keep
- 47:16Speaker 2: the bears away like that.
- 47:18Speaker 3: I love that. There's there's other little.
- 47:22Speaker 2: Scenes too, like the way that they redid the scene
- 47:26Speaker 2: where uh Chessie's telling Hallie about her dad being engaged.
- 47:31Speaker 2: You know, verbin Ya in the movie is like, I'm
- 47:34Speaker 2: not gonna say a word, not one single word, and
- 47:36Speaker 2: then goes into like the Gossip of it All and
- 47:40Speaker 2: they do that same thing but in a nineteen ninety
- 47:43Speaker 2: eight version, and it's so beautifully done, Like this is
- 47:47Speaker 2: such a wonderful example of how you.
- 47:50Speaker 3: Do a reboot of a movie.
- 47:53Speaker 2: That still makes you feel all the things the sixty
- 47:56Speaker 2: one version did, but for a modern version, Like it's
- 47:59Speaker 2: such a wonderful nod to the original but keeping it
- 48:04Speaker 2: relevant and modern. Like these two movies stand alone to me,
- 48:07Speaker 2: like they are two different movies completely because the acting
- 48:12Speaker 2: is different.
- 48:13Speaker 3: The vibes a little different, but yet they still could
- 48:17Speaker 3: be their own family, if that makes any sense.
- 48:20Speaker 1: No, No, it's like when it's like Little Sister. It's
- 48:26Speaker 1: like when people make fun of me because I went
- 48:27Speaker 1: and saw the last Draassic Park and they're like, but
- 48:29Speaker 1: you hate Chris Pratt, and I was like, but the
- 48:31Speaker 1: original three are coming back and they're so fucking hot. Yeah,
- 48:36Speaker 1: they're so fucking hot, and they're gonna play all of
- 48:38Speaker 1: the music cues that like makes my brain tingle and
- 48:43Speaker 1: and I like dinosaurs, and I like to hump my
- 48:47Speaker 1: chair whenever Jeff Goldbloom's around. Look he's right here, Goldbloom.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Hey, sexy Jeff Goldbloom is.
- 48:57Speaker 2: I still can't get over that. Geena Davis full On
- 48:59Speaker 2: said this is my soulmate.
- 49:01Speaker 1: He's my soulmate too, So like maybe Gina, Jeff and
- 49:05Speaker 1: I need to talk. Oh spicy, spicy. Also along that
- 49:12Speaker 1: same note, I found the very beginning of the movie,
- 49:15Speaker 1: all of the camp scenes very kind of queer coded,
- 49:19Speaker 1: and I was like, really happening. I was like, is
- 49:21Speaker 1: it because all Girls Camp is innately queer? Or is
- 49:24Speaker 1: it because I'm like, oh no, they're coding Haley that
- 49:30Speaker 1: way as a way to like differentiate herself from Annie m.
- 49:36Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because when I first saw the movie,
- 49:40Speaker 2: I just was like, man, all female spaces. That sounds amazing,
- 49:44Speaker 2: Like look at all everyone getting along and having a
- 49:46Speaker 2: good time and you know, having this great relationship. Because again,
- 49:51Speaker 2: I grew up in religion and it.
- 49:54Speaker 3: Just didn't have the same.
- 49:58Speaker 2: Collective vibe of unity as they as religion likes to
- 50:02Speaker 2: say that they do well.
- 50:04Speaker 1: And you know, in every Disney movie they have some
- 50:10Speaker 1: sort of queer coded character and it's usually a villain,
- 50:14Speaker 1: which is Disney's fuckery. But yeah, I was just like
- 50:20Speaker 1: watching it. I was like, Oh, that's the first time
- 50:22Speaker 1: that that's hit different that I was like, damn. If
- 50:26Speaker 1: it wasn't for Christianity and just like uppy conservative white people,
- 50:30Speaker 1: I would have came to terms with my bisexuality way earlier. Yeah.
- 50:36Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing.
- 50:37Speaker 2: Like I had somebody I was having a conversation with,
- 50:41Speaker 2: doesn't matter who had made a comment about like all
- 50:43Speaker 2: these people and they're who are old, who are coming out?
- 50:46Speaker 3: Now, what is that? It's so trying blah blah blah.
- 50:48Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that's let's talk about the seventies.
- 50:52Speaker 1: I I wasn't.
- 50:53Speaker 2: There, but I can read history books and I watched
- 50:57Speaker 2: a lot of television that was from the seventies and
- 51:00Speaker 2: the way that they talk about people who are gay.
- 51:06Speaker 1: I this is dangerous because I'm on live Internet. But
- 51:12Speaker 1: I was explaining to one of our mutual friends because
- 51:16Speaker 1: they had mentioned the Gaylors on one of their publications,
- 51:20Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, but heavy ran into the
- 51:25Speaker 1: Hitlers who are so proud of their heterosexuality that they
- 51:30Speaker 1: literally scream.
- 51:32Speaker 3: Why doesn't she have the right to be straight?
- 51:36Speaker 1: And everyone's trying to make everyone gay? And then the
- 51:40Speaker 1: hashtag hitler all over it, and it's, yes, you need
- 51:49Speaker 1: to be in the comments more in the conspiracy theory, tiktoks,
- 51:53Speaker 1: you need to be in the comments more. It is
- 51:56Speaker 1: it's like, I'm very because you like, it's very clownish
- 52:00Speaker 1: and comical on both sides, but it's extremely like satirical
- 52:05Speaker 1: and comical on that side because they're like just mad
- 52:09Speaker 1: that maybe another person would be gay. Yeah, and that's
- 52:13Speaker 1: what they're screaming about, and the rest of us are
- 52:16Speaker 1: just like picking up on things where like there's just
- 52:19Speaker 1: a vibe.
- 52:20Speaker 3: That's so funny.
- 52:22Speaker 2: I think it's funny when people are mad about like
- 52:26Speaker 2: why is ever? Like who, Like, I'm yeah, I'm here
- 52:29Speaker 2: to tell you that I'm pretty confident it was like
- 52:32Speaker 2: the twentieth century.
- 52:33Speaker 3: Who's like angry about it?
- 52:35Speaker 2: Because I feel like I feel like, well, again, you
- 52:39Speaker 2: know what, I'm not going to make a comment because
- 52:41Speaker 2: I grew up in a Christian church, so all of
- 52:42Speaker 2: my information, all of my learning was self learned about
- 52:46Speaker 2: well things like science and history.
- 52:50Speaker 1: And I think that part of it plays into the
- 52:52Speaker 1: beginning of this movie. I mean, just like getting a
- 52:55Speaker 1: vibe that I've never gotten a vibe before. It made
- 52:59Speaker 1: me lize how far I've come in my deprogramming of
- 53:03Speaker 1: not only misogyny and male patriarchy, but also heter normativity.
- 53:10Speaker 1: Because when people scream you shouldn't just assume someone's gay,
- 53:13Speaker 1: It's like, but then you're also just telling me that
- 53:16Speaker 1: I should assume that the world is straight, right the majority.
- 53:21Speaker 3: Which I do hate that.
- 53:22Speaker 2: I hate that we should just assume everyone straight, Like
- 53:25Speaker 2: that's not that's great.
- 53:26Speaker 1: And so when I start to read vibes, I'm like, oh, yes,
- 53:30Speaker 1: because my brain didn't immediately go, that's a girl that
- 53:33Speaker 1: kisses boys and only boys.
- 53:37Speaker 2: And I wonder too, because you know, Nancy Myers is
- 53:40Speaker 2: the director. She is a co writer on this film,
- 53:44Speaker 2: So again at the hands of a as a female
- 53:47Speaker 2: of a woman director, someone who's looking at camp through
- 53:51Speaker 2: the lens of what would she want her daughters to attend?
- 54:00Speaker 2: Back to your theory of like pretty sure everyone's queer
- 54:02Speaker 2: until they until they're not, until.
- 54:04Speaker 1: They're not, until until someone smacks you about it or something,
- 54:09Speaker 1: until someone says something really mean to you in a
- 54:11Speaker 1: hotel lobby. Yeah, yeah, because I do you think like
- 54:18Speaker 1: that is something about being young that we take it
- 54:22Speaker 1: for granted. And it's like, it's the same argument for
- 54:25Speaker 1: why babies can see ghosts, and it's because well, their
- 54:28Speaker 1: brain hasn't shut up to the ghost yet. So at
- 54:32Speaker 1: some point through everyone's cannon, there is a canon event
- 54:37Speaker 1: where you eat where a lot of people went, oh,
- 54:41Speaker 1: you have to be straight. Straight is safe. Everyone is straight.
- 54:45Speaker 1: It's a very straight world. And for some people they
- 54:49Speaker 1: didn't happen and they didn't have to deprogram, or it
- 54:51Speaker 1: did happen and they deprogrammed earlier. But it is really
- 54:56Speaker 1: nice to kind of just like walk through the world
- 54:58Speaker 1: being like, I don't know, maybe I could kiss anybody.
- 55:03Speaker 1: Maybe hey, maybe my hot tub at the Bachelor would
- 55:06Speaker 1: just like look like a little potpourri party.
- 55:10Speaker 3: It could be anybody. It could be anybody.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Demanding gay love is Blind. If we can do gay ultimatum,
- 55:17Speaker 1: we can do is blind. Winde I deserve gay love
- 55:21Speaker 1: is Blind.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Everybody does because straight ultimatum was boring.
- 55:27Speaker 1: Straight ultimatum was so boring. This season of Love is
- 55:30Speaker 1: Blind very messy. I'm in love with it, but that
- 55:33Speaker 1: ultimatum season two with the Straights? How dare you air that?
- 55:38Speaker 1: It was not great? It was not great? Where were
- 55:41Speaker 1: the producers making drama? No one was talking to these
- 55:45Speaker 1: boring people. I don't know. Where was the manipulation? Where
- 55:49Speaker 1: was the gaslighting? We all watched unscripted on Lifetime.
- 55:55Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so that brings us to our final Now
- 56:00Speaker 2: we're at we're coming to close on our hour, and
- 56:03Speaker 2: I need to know, Natalie, are you still comfy with
- 56:06Speaker 2: parent trap one percent?
- 56:09Speaker 1: I number one? Like, Hey, Dennis Quay, Hey, I know
- 56:12Speaker 1: that I said that you were the problem in the
- 56:14Speaker 1: whole like switcheroo scenario, But you're adorable and you're a babe,
- 56:19Speaker 1: and you're the reason why I listened to Jerry Lee
- 56:21Speaker 1: Lewis's music even though I had to watch you hit
- 56:25Speaker 1: ran on a writer?
- 56:27Speaker 3: Yeah, fourteen fourteen year old? Why or her character was fourteen?
- 56:32Speaker 1: And it's literally seared in my bringing you shaking her
- 56:35Speaker 1: while she's in her like nightgown. So anyways, I love you,
- 56:41Speaker 1: Dennis Quay, always will. And oh and also, like I
- 56:47Speaker 1: do think it is weird the fact that Natasha Richardson
- 56:51Speaker 1: was so beautiful and so talented and from like literally
- 56:55Speaker 1: anything I've ever seen of her so kind, and for
- 56:58Speaker 1: us to lose her tragically due to a skiing accident,
- 57:03Speaker 1: I vow to never ski because that's how we lost Natasha,
- 57:07Speaker 1: Richards said, And so you can't make me it is
- 57:11Speaker 1: my platform. I vow to never step on skis because
- 57:14Speaker 1: why would I? In honor of leem Nisson.
- 57:19Speaker 2: I think I told I said this in one of
- 57:21Speaker 2: our group chats that whenever one of her sons has
- 57:23Speaker 2: reportedly said that whenever he's really missing her a lot,
- 57:26Speaker 2: he watches parent Trap because that's.
- 57:28Speaker 3: The most like her in real life.
- 57:31Speaker 1: She's so beautifully empathetic. In this movie, she's just like
- 57:36Speaker 1: beautiful and like her mannerisms, the way she talks to
- 57:41Speaker 1: the girls, even when she finds out about the switch,
- 57:44Speaker 1: like you can just tell there was never a mean
- 57:47Speaker 1: bone tour. So Natasha, you're missed, and Dennis you're still
- 57:51Speaker 1: a babe. So good for the two of you. Well done,
- 57:56Speaker 1: well done, And Chessie and Meredith love what you two got.
- 57:59Speaker 3: The bestie's in real life, bestie's in real life. Here
- 58:03Speaker 3: for it, Here for it.
- 58:07Speaker 2: I also am very comfy still with this movie and
- 58:09Speaker 2: will continue to watch it. It is one that I
- 58:12Speaker 2: really do enjoy watching in the spring and summer for
- 58:14Speaker 2: obvious reasons because it's summer camp. But it makes me
- 58:20Speaker 2: feel like, if I didn't have such a heavy handed
- 58:24Speaker 2: religious growing up experience, that this could have been not
- 58:29Speaker 2: like the switch roo part, but like going to sleep
- 58:32Speaker 2: away camp and just like.
- 58:34Speaker 3: Having pals, Jules, you.
- 58:39Speaker 2: Have pals, I know I do, but like like when
- 58:43Speaker 2: it's just the I'm currently reckoning with all of the
- 58:48Speaker 2: religious stuff in my life clearly as you can tell.
- 58:53Speaker 3: And I just spent the weekend.
- 58:54Speaker 2: I did just spend the weekend with my two best
- 58:56Speaker 2: friends from high school that we've known and we've all
- 58:57Speaker 2: known each other since technically junior high, so like yes,
- 59:01Speaker 2: but like.
- 59:02Speaker 1: There, we never went to camp with those ladies, so
- 59:04Speaker 1: it doesn't even count, right.
- 59:06Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, We've never been to camp together.
- 59:10Speaker 3: We've never done anything sleep away at all.
- 59:13Speaker 1: Oh, we never rode our bikes to the next town
- 59:16Speaker 1: over and ran into a grifter on the street.
- 59:19Speaker 2: No, but we did walk a lot to the AMPM
- 59:21Speaker 2: which is now a Starbucks.
- 59:24Speaker 1: Oh that that beautiful Christina milan Son. Somebody hit the
- 59:29Speaker 1: lights so we can wreck a day and night. I
- 59:32Speaker 1: think every time I see an AMPM, which doesn't have
- 59:35Speaker 1: it often in the Midwest. So should I be traveling
- 59:37Speaker 1: and I'd see an AMPM, I'm always like, from AM
- 59:40Speaker 1: to PM, yeah I remember you, Christina Milan.
- 59:44Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah.
- 59:46Speaker 2: It just makes me like kind of nostalgic in a
- 59:49Speaker 2: way of like, I that would have been nice to
- 59:51Speaker 2: have had a childhood like that and not in like
- 59:55Speaker 2: a bitter way, and like, oh, this is a this
- 59:58Speaker 2: is a nice little.
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: Dreamland I can escape to you from time to time.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: No, I had wild summers. I had wild unsupervised summers.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: I had two summers in camp. Camp's expensive now, So
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: I would like to remind everyone that Jeweles has never
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: been to sleep away Camp. She has never been to
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: summer camp, and she has no friends. You just heard
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: her say it. And our venmos and all of the

- 1:00:55Speaker 3: At the tail end, I'm just going to assume it
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: was Josephine.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: It was probably the dog she has, caller that doesn't
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: make like tags that don't make noise, because I can't
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: stand the sound of it hitting the ball.
